Re: [PHP] ' giving problem while inserting in table.
Use addslashes() on ALL strings before inserting them into your database. Then, on
your frontend, extract the data and use stripslashes() on all strings.
Hope to help!

Hi,
I am making a faq maintenance system using mysql and php.
To insert a entry in to a faq table i am using the following query:
-
INSERT INTO faq_table_netvd (id,question,
answer,netvcr,netdetector,add_date,mod_date,keyword,category,display,attach_
id)
VALUES ('0','$frm[question]',
'$frm[answer]','$frm[netvcr]','$frm[netdetector]','$frm[add_date]','$frm[mod
_date]','$frm[keyword]','$frm[category]','$frm[display]','$frm[attach_id]')
);
---
now the problem is when $frm[question] has some string like: why i can't
eat.
i get the following error:
MySQL Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 't eat?' ,answer =
'Please recheck the power of your specs:)' ' at line 3.Putting a '\' before
' (e.g. \')solves my problem...but when i open the same quesion to edit it,
again i have to put backslashes where ever i find ' in the quesion or
answer.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to this.
thanx and regards
anil
[please ask if i havent explained the problem fully]

Re: [PHP] Final Year Computer Science Project involving PHP
If completely developing a fully functional and optimized E-commerce site isn't good enough, I don't know what is. I can understand how it may not necessarily be innovative (though it could have innovative features), but designing such a site would prove to anyone I know that you have a great knowledge of the language the site was created in. As for original ideas, good luck. You'll come to find that anything you can think to do has already been done. You're best bet may be to look around some sites on the 'Net and try to vastly improve what has already been done. Projects that find solutions? That could be anything from a Weight Loss Tracking System to an advanced encryption/decryption algorithm.

I will start next autumn my third year of Computer Science studies. I have to carry out a large programming project in this final year. These projects are supervised and assessed via a dissertation and an oral presentation. The project alone counts for 20% of my whole degree, so it is quite important. A variety of project proposals have been made available for our consideration already but they all look very dull and boring. We are also encouraged to come up with our own project ideas. The onus is on us to define the problem boundaries, to investigate possible solutions, and to present the results verbally, in writing and (possibly) to demonstrate in action. They like having projects that find solutions (or improve a current sloution) real life problems. This summer, I am doing an internship in a Swiss IT company, working on a Content Management System implemented with PHP and MySQL. This will obviously give me some valuable experience with these languages (I sort of already learn them quite well...) and most of our tuition in Uni is based on Java. If you can think of an interestin final year project involving hese languages, it would be very kind to share it with me... In order to obtain a very high mark, the project needs to be challenging. For example, having an e-commerce web-site using a Database is seen as a weak, non-innovative project...

Subject: [PHP] IF inside LOOP?
Hi all.
I've been fooling around with a LOOP which should show one or more text
string stored in separate rows in a DB. The trick would we to separate
them with commas (,) when there's another string to show or end it with
a period (.) if no other row is found according to the SELECT criteria.
This is what I have so far:
for ($m=0; $m$num_rows2; $m++)
{
$row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2);
echo $row2[devlanguage];
if ($m $num_rows2)
{
echo , ;
}
else
{
echo .;
}
}
The problem is that the LOOP stops as it's told to do, keeping the ELSE
statement from doing it's work, resulting in comma separated string as
it should, but also add an extra comma at the end of it instead of a
period. What approach should I use?

Re: [PHP] Classes vs. Functions
I'm still trying to figure that out, but the fog is clearing slowly but steadily :o)
From what I've heard on this and other lists, it's all a matter of preference.
Obviously those that come from an object-oriented environment (Java, etc), will lean
toward this method, while others stay with the procedural side of things (using
functions). It's all a matter of preference, and just yet I haven't decided which is
more useful :o)

Re: [PHP] strange beahaviour with a mysql query in php

Ok,
So I'm creating a details.php page where I'm expecting the url to be
something like:
/details.php?id=12345
Thus in my php I have the following:
if (!isset($id))
{ // if no id exsits
// Create a page saying ID not found, goto index
writeHTMLTag();
writeHeader(Error, never);
writeBodyTag();
writeLogoNav();
echo h1Error: A hospital ID was not found./h1
pGoto: a href=\index.php\Nursing Career Match/a
;
writeFooter();
writeHTMLTagCloser();
// what command can I use to end the script right here?
}
else
{ // Run MySQL stuff and display page
}
My question is what command can I use to end the script [inside the top
part of that if statement]?

I know this slight variation will make it work:

$HTTP_POST_VARS[domains] = www.php.net www.jokaroo.com www.gnu.org;
$site = explode( ,$HTTP_POST_VARS[domains]);
print_r($site);

$site[0] = www.php.net;

$site[2] = www.gnu.org;
I get: $site[0] = www.php.net www.jokaroo.com www.gnu.org;
The value of $HTTP_POST_VARS[domains] after submitting the form is
www.php.net www.jokaroo.com www.gnu.org. Does anyone have an idea of how
I can get each domain in a seperate array index?

RE: [PHP] Re: Includes vs. Functions
Chris, thanks for describing your method. The reason I really dislike Functions in PHP is because you have to pass every variable needed by a function, even if that variable is global in the main script, which is a pain in the ass when a function needs a long string of variables. It makes it easier to forget a variable in the list and can make the code look messy. [snip] The whole idea behind modularization is that you are creating a black box so to speak, a chunk of code that performs one function, and one function only. It should present a *minimal* interface to the outside world. This means that if I have a black box that say, gives me the current local time in a particular timezone, I should be able to feed it the name of the timezone, and it should give me back the current time. I should NOT have to know how it works inside, or care. I feed it one value, and it returns another value. [snip] To add to this. If you're passing too many values to a function, then maybe that function isn't broken down enough. I remember hearing/reading that if you need to pass more than, I think, 5 or 6 values to a function, then you're passing too many.

I'm using mysql_fetch_array() and I want to foreach only the assoc. part of
the array without using mysql_fetch_assoc():
foreach ($arr as $key=$value) {
echo $key:$value;
}
But of course it show both the indexed array and the assoc array contents.
Is there an existing function to check this, or should I do one of these
things inside the foreach loop:
A) set $last=value and just check if $value = $lastval
B) check if the $key is just a number or just a string
C) $key += 1

The link in frame A might be like below:
a href=content.php?show=TOC target=bClick here to see the content/a
Then, in frame b, content.php will show up and you can then use $show to decide what
to do. I might be totally off on this one, but I only went on what it sounded like
you wanted.
The same applies to JavaScript.
// This can be used to get the height and width of the browser window for any
server-side needs.

function getScreen() {
var height = screen.height;
var width = screen.width;

??!
Is there a way I can decide where to target my output from server side?
suppose my page has two iframes
+---++---+
! A !! b !
+---++---+
while executing a script that is called by A can I spawn another script
that will output to b? And no, I cant' use any Jscript, but I do know
from server side what my target names are (A and b, that is).
Bear in mind that A and b might be even different windows, but I'd more
than happy even if it worked with iframes on a single window.

[PHP] Arrays and Regs
Howdy, Just a performance question, if anyone knows for sure. Within a large array, would using numerical indices be quicker than associative? I'm talking about a *noticeable* difference in performance, here. Also, on Regular Expression replacements: $text = eregi_replace(([abc]+), span style=\color: red\\\1/span, $text); Would this replace any occurences of the pattern with the same pattern match in red text? I'm not sure exactly how the \\1, \\2, etc. works. So, does: $text = eregi_replace((a)(b)(c), \\1, $text); Does this output only the 'a'? I find this confusing for some reason, hehe. Any help would be great!

Your problem is with this line. Look closely at the following part:
name=\choice,$count,\
You should do this:
name=\choice . $count . \
... and it will generate names like 'choice1', 'choice2', and so on.

how can i sort an array based on key element ie.
key values are: a1, a2 ,a3 ..., b1, b2 ,b3, ...c1, c1, c3...
so doing this:
while (list($k, $v) = each($data)) {
for ($i=0; $icount($k); $i++) {
echo $k[0] = $v\nbr;
}
will list all the $k $v .
a = foo
a = bar
b = another foo
...
and so on
Now, how can i sort it according to $k[0]
where $k[0] = a, than the same for all b's and so on.

Rite, There's a PHP script that takes a monochrome BMP and converts it into some sort of hex code and I've noticed some patterns with this code. This image is 72 pixels wide by 14 high so there's 1008 pixels. In the code returned, theres 252 chars, which is 1008 divided by 4. So I guessed the image is split into 4 pixels each. So if I pass an image with the first pixel black and everyhting else white, it returns 8 for those 4. If I pass an image with the first and second black, it returns c. With the first three black, it returns e. With the first 4, f. And if I have the 5th pixel black it goes onto the next char code, eg returning f for the first 4 pixels, then 8 for the 5th pixel black, ie the first pixel in the next 4. In total it returns f8. PS I tried reading in each pixel of the script, checking if it was black or white, 1 for black, 0 for white. Then converting these 0s and 1s from decimal to hex, then converting from binary to hex, but to no avail. Then I tried taking a set of 4 1s or 0s and converting them, but still no luck. So my questions is, does anyone know how theyre encoding the image I could probably could decipher the coding with some experimentation but it really looks like hex and I might be wasting my time.

That's not quite right. Php's variable scoping is different than most langauges.
Variables inside a function are always local, even with register_globals on (this has
something to do with Rasmus' life experiences at IBM). So you would need to use global
on a variable inside a function (unless it's passed in) and except for the 'magic'
global arrays, $_POST, $_GET, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, etc

I remember from a previous post, the dot operator will create a temporary

output as it goes - ie. it doesn't create a temporary string.
As for Lee Doolan's reply:
echo trtd{$obj-strName[$i]}/td/tr;

As for the comma I believe it does the same thing as the period. It will

3. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]'') {;
4. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]' ') {;
5. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]NULL) {;
and none seem to work correctly (i.e. blank field in db, but HTML row shows

it helps, each of the image fields are varchar(125)basically I just
have the name of the image file, and then a pointer to the web server

Subject: [PHP] Problem with Not displaying HTML if data not found
I am trying to develop a page that, in certain places, I only want it to
display the TR and TDs if data is found for a given field. For
example,
if I only have an image for the first floorplan of a house, I do NOT have
an image for the second floorplan of a house, then show the first
floorplan
image only.skip over that next row because the field in the db is
empty.
The problem that I'm having is that the syntax that I've been using to
define empty in the db field does not always work. The code reads:
if ($result[FLRPLAN_2] ) {
printf (tr);
printf (td colspan=3 bgcolor=#F0F8FF);
printf (font size=5 bSecond Floor Plan:b
/td/font) ;
printf (/tr) ;
printf (tr);
printf (td colspan=3 ) ;
echo img
src='http://www.website.com/index_files/main_files/$planid/; .
mysql_result($result, 0,'FLRPLAN_2').'';
printf ( /td) ;
printf (/tr );
};
if ($result[FLRPLAN_3] ) {;
printf (tr);
printf (td colspan=3 bgcolor=#F0F8FFfont size=5
bThird Floor Plan:b );
printf (/td/font );
printf (/tr );
printf (tr );
printf (td colspan=3 );
echo img
src='http://www.website.com/index_files/main_files/$planid/; .
mysql_result($result, 0,'FLRPLAN_3').'';
printf (/td );
printf (/tr );
};
I have tried:
1. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3] ) {;
2. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]) {;
3. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]'') {;
4. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]' ') {;
5. if ($result[FLRPLAN_3]NULL) {;
and none seem to work correctly (i.e. blank field in db, but HTML row
shows
up with missing image..or image is in db, but no HTML row shows up.
If
it helps, each of the image fields are varchar(125)basically I just
have the name of the image file, and then a pointer to the web server
directory structure
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That error indicates that fopen failed to open the requested file. Given
that the URL works fine in a browser, is it possible that your php is not
configured to do remote fopen? Check the setting of allow_url_fopen in
phpinfo()
It is a good idea to test the result of such calls before trying to use
the result:
fopen('Whatever') or exit('Couldn't get it, Boss!');
or
if(fopen('whatever') {
do good things;

bleat vigorously;

Re: [PHP] control structure question
For steps and sequences, I always use switches. Most commonly associated with the
action variable, it would look like this:
switch($action) {
default:
// what to show if no variable exists, or is set to a value
// that is not acceptable below
break;
case add_file:
// what to do in the even that a file needs to be added
// to the database.
break;
case remove_file:
// what to do in the even that a file need sto be removed
// from the database.
break;
}
Basically, whatever the value of $action, that is what section of code will execute.
Hope that helps!

I want my web background to cover the entire screen regardless of screen size. The background has a header, a left side nav and a footer. I want the footer to be on the bottom of the screen or bottom of the text, which ever is greater. If you go to www.v3.aru.org.nz you will get an idea of what I'm talking about. If you are using IE 5.x or greater it should show correctly. I used the HTML table tag height=100%, however this is not a valid tag and therefore Netscape ignores it. Also if I use it it wont validate as a true complaint code, which I want it to. So can I use PHP to create a table or place the background images to create a header, side nav and footer with the middle white section adjusting to screen size. I don't want to have to greater multiple sites for different resolutions and would rather have one template that all pages call by an include statement (That's the ASP command, think I saw the same command in PHP) Any help or solution would be appreciated as I have been searching the net and working on this for weeks and I'm getting nowhere.

You could use an algorithms called mod10. Both Visa, MasterCard and I think
most other credit cards use the mod10 algorithm. A credit card must pass a
mod10 test to be a valid number(Like a Regular Expression test). It won't
tell you if the number exist, but it will tell you if it could exist. I
also know the mod10 is used for Canadian Social Security numbers (SIN).
Unfortunately I have never seen a PHP function for it, I only used mod10 in
a language called Uniface by Compuware. I know there is another name for
it also, but I can't remember it right now.
It is a great test, someone just typing in numbers at random will have a
terrible time guessing a number right. I have never seen someone do it let.
Then you can use the first character of the number to test the card type.
I will see if I can locate the algorithm and email it too you.

This is not a valid way to check if the query has returned anything.
mysql_query() returns FALSE on error. So if there was no error but there
also wasn't anything returned then the object stored in $result wiill more
than likely evaluate to TRUE. For the determining factor you should count
the number of rows with mysql_num_rows($result). If the returned value is

Re: [PHP] pulling records from mysql
You would need to use SQL to identify which columns and rows you need to retrieve, then use various MySQL PHP functions to gather the information. For your two queries, they would appear thus, respectively: SELECT firstname FROM tablename WHERE id=16 and SELECT firstname FROM tablename ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 15 The functions you'll want to look into are mysql_connect(), mysql_select_db(), mysql_query() and mysql_fetch_array(). They can be found at http://www.php.net, do a search for any one of the functions ;o) HTH Martin Tyler Durdin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/25/02 11:18AM I have a column in my table named firstname with twenty records in it.

Re: [PHP] pulling records from mysql
Yes, that will indeed return the rows specified, but the result is very unstable. By it's nature, MySQL does not have to conform to any sorting method unless you specify it. So it's very good practice when retrieving multiple rows to ALWAYS order them.

Hi all,
I thought I was going to give php a break today but I can't it's too
adicting.
I am having a little problem with a submit button in which it is suppose to
update records from a form.
Here is the code
echo BRBRa href=\locker.php\My Locker/a | a

echo /form;
if($update)
{
$query = UPDATE {$config[prefix]}_shop SET price = '$price'
where uid = {$session[uid]};
$ret = mysql_query($query);
}
What I need this to do is update the price in the db table.
if I have on item it is fine. If I have two items it won't update the first
items price but will the second. if I try to enter a price in the first
items textbox it doesn't update and then deletes the second item's price.
If I have 15 items and using one submit button how do I get this to update
all items that are listed?
TIA

I have quite an unusual problem for you :) There will be a 24-hour programming competition at our university, where teams of 3 have one day to solve a complex problem (which will be revealed on the day of the competition). Teams cannot get help from outside, so no outward network / phone communication is available, but you can use anything you take there with you (any development tools, books, pre-written software etc.) The language in which you write the software is up to you, the most popular choices being C++ and Java - but this year our team are going to use PHP (and PHP-GTK). The big question is: will PHP be enough for the whole project, or will we need something else (like external C/Java modules)? Last year the task was to write an artificially intelligent soccer game based on a client-server architecture: there was a server acting like some kind of game controller (referee) and 2D display screen, while the automated clients (players) were playing individually according to the game's rules and some simulated information on what they 'see' at the time. It's said that it will be something quite different this year - but required knowledge includes: algorithm theory, information and code theory, artificial intelligence, queuing, databases, client-server architectures, computer networks, control theory, 2D graphic programming and software ergonomy. All this in 24 hours - nice, eh? :) So the question again - are there any parts of all this where you think PHP will not be enough? (Apart from the graphics, for which we'll use PHP-GTK). If so, what kind of outside module integration do you recommend for us? Also, which PHP sites / resources / code libraries do you think we should (recursively) download which might help us a lot?

RE: [PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
(Just got back from the weekend) Just my 2c worth IMHO, as long as the code is indented properly, it doesn't matter where the braces are, just be consistant. Personally, I prefer to put the opening brace on a new line, but I can just as easily read other people's code when the opening brace is on the same line (as long as it's indented properly). As for indenting - I prefer using spaces and this ensures that my code will look the same in someone else's editor as it does in mine. There are people here, in the company, that use tabs and have set their tabs to be 4 spaces, I have my tabs set to 8 spaces - really plays havoc when they indent quite a distant :( Also, with one line statements, I prefer to place it on the same line as the statement that requires it (ie, function, if/else, while, do, etc). But, again, as long as the coder is constant, I find it just as readable when the statement is on a new line, surrounded by braces or not. So what I'm basically saying is - choose a style that suits you, and be _consistant_ with it - oh, and make sure you indent your code, there's nothing worse than trying to read code that's not indented, or indented all over the place!

Some code from signup.php:
//I do seed the random number in the header
$code = mt_rand(1000,);
mysql_query(insert into signupcodes(code) values('$code'));
$codeid = mysql_insert_id();
input type=hidden name=codeid value=$codeidimg
src='authimage.php?id=$codeid'br
bCode from above:/b input type=text name=codebr
At top of proccess_signup.php:
$getcode = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(select * from signupcodes where id
= '$codeid'));
if($code != $getcode[code]){
die(bError:/b wrong code);
}
In the middle of process_signup.php, after I've done checks of a few other
things:
echo You're a member! :Dbra href='/'Back to homepage/a;
mysql_query(delete from signupcodes where id='$codeid') or print

RE: [PHP] Interesting Links, can be not PHP
it's a bookmark basically, it's telling the browser to scroll the page down until it finds the named bookmark eg a name=topTop of page/a blah... ... a href=#topgo to top/a clicking on that link will scrol the page to top in your case, it's a no-name bookmark, and most browsers treat this as either don't move or top it's useful when doing onClicks, etc. when you don't want to user to go to a different page HTH -Original Message- From: Mantas Kriauciunas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 5:17 PM To: PHP General List Subject: [PHP] Interesting Links, can be not PHP Hey PHP General List, Well i have seen some strange links last few months earlyer i didn't look at them because i didn't care... and now i am curious... how to understand link like this Http://www.foo.com/# and thats it... links ends and as it sayes for example it links to Our Works page on that website... how to understand that # ? can anybody expain? or give link to explanation ? :--: Have A Nice Day!

RE: [PHP] ASP to PHP
I used it for a site I did. The code wasn't doing anything too funky. Just simple accesses to adodb and also simple form manipulation - worked like a treat. Although, the database stuff, it converts it the standard PHP functions, but I had some classes for that, so I still had to manually go through and change the code -Original Message- From: Chuck PUP Payne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 9:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] ASP to PHP I got a strange request from a client. He wants to be able to take his ASP pages and move them over to PHP so that he can run them on apache on his linux server. I saw a tool yesterday ASP2PHP, but I am wanting to know does it work, how much is lost, is it easy to use? Is there another way to change ASP file to PHP with out a lot of re-writes?

Would you please direct your attention to this URL
http://testphp.netfirms.com/code1.html
Look at the bottom where the big orange commented syntax is
and explain what is going on there?
{$config[prefix]}
I think this should be
${config[prefix]}
... also, it's handy to actually echo or print the SQL you're
executing, as you will be able to see if the SQL is correct
or not.
The error on line 14 occurs because you're trying to execute
mysql_fetch_array on a mysql result set that doesn't exist.
The most likely reason it doesn't exist is because the SQL is
wrong. Echo the SQL and you'll find out whats happening.

RE: [PHP] SQL Warning
The reason why I said that is 'cause the array was inside quotes, so quoting
again would break out of the original quotes
