RE: [PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
I am in total agreement with Justin on this one. Many of the posters use need help, newbie needs help , etc. We need to have some form of FAQ with detailed instructions on how to post so that I do not have to ask; What OS are you using, what version of php, which database, etc This gets tedious and time consuming. Not to mention the amount of posts. I've been watching Rick Emery give out tons of help, but many of his first questions are about clarifications on what a users is needing help on. Some extra detail will provide faster and reliable help. Just some extra thoughts here... I now some mailing lists will not even reply if you do not follow specific criteria when you post...

RE: [PHP] PHP FAQ (again)
It's not so much the newbish questions but the determination of the part of the newbie to find an answer. I have found many of my answers on google or the web. Some extra searching is required. Many of the questions can be answered if some extra searching where involved. However, when you ask if they have researched some of the information and the reply is no...Then I say RTFM and STFI... This is a general list and newbie questions should be asked here...However, newbies need to post adequate information for an adequate response...

Subject: [PHP] multiple selects and $_POST['vars']
Lo all,
How do you manage multiple selects and the data returned by the form?
All my attempts at doing this, only returned one variable from the selected
options, not all of them??
My test...
form method=post action=blah.php
select multiple name=bleh
option value=11/option
option value=22/option
option value=33/option
option value=44/option
option value=55/option
/select
/form
blah.php:
echo $_POST['bleh'];
$_POST['bleh'] would only have the value of the last selected option in the
form...
I've tried array_count_values as well to maybe see if PHP didn't save the
multiple selected items into a array, but it only reported back that
$_POST['bleh'] isn't a array. So, if I select all 5 items in the above
form, why does PHP only return the last option I selected, and how do I get
it to return all the selected values?
Additionally,
if ($_POST['bleh'] == ) {
always fails Regardless if 1, 2, 3 or even all 5 of the options in the
form is selected (highlighted) Which, is *really* strange, seeing that
echo $_POST['bleh'] returns 1 out of the 5 selected values.

[PHP] Another Flat File question.
I know I've asked this before but I don't believe I asked the question correctly. I have a flat file database that is delimited with colons. This file will have new records added to it on a regular basis. What I want to do is be able to search that file based on a keyword that is inputted by a user, then it will search that database comparing each record for that value, if that value returns true, I want it to display the results of that record. How would I do this when I don't know the number of records that will be searched (since it will rise and fall almost daily)? Also, how would I create a dynamic array? I hope this makes sense to someone, I've been pulling my hair out on this. Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 1:54 PM Subject: [PHP] FUDforum 2.0 Stable Released FUDforum 2.0 is a web forum released under the GPL license, written in PHP4 utilizing a MySQL database backend. The forum is completely customizable via a templating system, which is compiled for optimal performance. The templating system also has integrated i18n support, which allows the forum to be used in other languages, at this time there are 5 different languages to, which translations are available in the standard distribution and more will be available soon. The spell checker integrated into the forum, which utilizes pspell library also has multi-lingual support, thus permitting even the non English speakers to spell check their messages. FUDforum 2.0 also includes a powerful user group management system, that allows fine grained control over the users of the forum, for the administrator as well as the group manager(s) assigned by the administrator. In addition to these features, the forum contains all the other features you may have come to expect from a web forum, such as the ability to attach files to messages, include polls, private messaging system, FUDcode, which allows the user to style their text without the need for HTML, thread forum subscriptions with both e-mail ICQ notification, buddy and ignore lists, a full text search and many more. Despite all these features, FUDforum is extremely fast and scales extremely well, by using MySQL indexes and table views implemented in PHP to retrieve the data in the most expedient manner possible. The result, is that most forum pages take ~0.01-0.02 seconds to generate on most computers, even while the forum is under a heavy load. The forum, by default is setup with very secure file permissions, that are designed in such a way that given a reasonably well setup web server, your forum's data will be safe against hackers. You can download FUDforum from http://fud.prohost.org/download.php and if you have any questions, there is a support forum at http://fud.prohost.org/forum/, where you can get answers to your questions and concerns about the forum.

Once glob() makes it into the production version,
foreach(glob('*') as $f) unlink($f);
Until then, use system('rm *'); or a readdir loop.
unlink() is not the rm command. It's a system call that deletes a specific
named file.

Re: [PHP] beginner in PHP
Try this:
echo $catalog[unitprice];
in my experience I've only been able to use the echo() without the
quotation marks if I'm calling a function, for variables you need the
quotation marks.
Hope this helps.

Can someone tell me why this doesn't work?
The $mycart array is fine and the $catalog array is also fine but nothing
inside the if statement prints. I've tried other echo statements but nothing
prints at all.
while (list($key,$value) = each($mycart))
{
if ($value == $catalog[itemcd])
{
echo $catalog[unitprice];
}
}

Subject: [PHP] V basic newbie problem
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but I'm just starting out
with php and MySQL
I have succesfully got a database up and I have managed to populate the
first row of the html table with the first row of dynamic content
without
too
much problem. I have used the visual enviroment of DW Mx for this and it
was
staightforward enough
My problem arises when I want to fill in the subsequent rows of the table
with the subesquent rows from the database. How do I create the recordset
that will pull the info from the relevant subsequent rows for my columns?
The code for the first row and first column entry is:
?php echo $row_RsSingStanDailybb['DailyBB']; ?
but in the row below in the html table I want to refer to the second row
DB
entry for DailyBB but I cant see how to go about this:( The Repeat server
behaviour in DW Mx simply puts all the values in one html cell which is
not
what I wish to achieve. Basically I want the html table to match the
database but have only succeeded in getting the first row to display so
far:(
I'm sure this is simple but its my first time at all this and any help
would
be appreciated:)
TIA

Re: [PHP] Postal / Zip Code Proximity Search

The system I am using now is OK for small distances, but is terrible at calculating large distances. What I have is a database of establishments and their corresponding latitudes and longitudes, and I need to have users enter their own postal / zip code, and have the system calculate which establishments fall into a set range ($range) from their location. Not only does it need to find the establishments, it needs to calculate the distances (straight line, of course). Now, I have dug through the PHP archives, but there is no single clear explanation of how to do this, from beginning to end. I will start by putting down what I need, and then maybe other people can contribute to this and in the end we will have the solution, nice and tidy, in one place. *** NOTE: I know doing this in PHP will be SLOW, but I do not want to write a MySQL user-defined function and recompile it and blah, blah, blah... (unless someone wants to cover that aspect!!! :D) Step 1: Take the postal / zip code that the user entered, and search the national postal / zip code database (which I already have) and return its corresponding latitude and longitude ($userLat and $userLong). Step 2: ??? Step 3: Return the establishments information to the user, complete with the distances to them, ordered by smallest distance to largest.

Re: [PHP] ErrorDocument 404 Form
Actaully, neither Apache or PHP is at fault. The ErrorDocument (either in httpd.conf or an .htaccess file) follows absolute paths, so you are calling your engine.php out of the root directory of the machine. So the question is, do you have engine.php in the / folder? If not you can put it there or just adjust your ErrorDocument command to point to the path of the file.

RE: [PHP] Mcrypt: Blowfish or Twofish or no fish? Part 2
Jimmy, You could md5 something and send it encrypted and then verify the md5, something similar to sharing keys...md5 is similar to a key...i use it as something similar to kerberos... And yes, MD5 is a one-way hash...which comes in handy... Just remember that bigger is almost always better. I would suggest trying all three (blocksize, keylength, and both) and see which one works best for you. You should see how your system deals with it and then decide...I like to have bigger keylenghts personally...

RE: [PHP] Servers, servers and more servers
When referring to an application server many times people are refereeing to a server that is running something like J2EE or EJBs or .NET with XML. They are actual applications running behind a web server. Some examples are BEA, WebSphere, or Jonas for Java apps. I have no idea about .net, not into that... If you are looking for a good Java one I suggest Jonas which is open source (free) and is fairly decent. I have used it for running applications with apache and tomcat running together...

And yes, I have set the proper ExecCGI and PHP entries in my vhosts.conf; and yes, I restarted the server. Basically, I open an existing php file (in a Perl CGI), and output its contents again to the Apache server. The CGI starts with sending this header: print Content-type: application/x-httpd-php\n\n; Then I output the text. But, no matter what I do, it will not parse the PHP code. I do not understand this. Regular PHP files in that dir work fine. There is, as far as I can see, no reason why this should not work.

RE: [PHP] mail () will send to everyone except my own domain
Gareth- This sounds more like a sendmail issue to me. I've run into this a few times myself. What's happening is simple, sendmail has a file that it reads generally called domains this file tells sendmail what domains it should be handling mail for. When you submit your form the first thing sendmail is doing is checking that domains file, and if your domain is listed in that file sendmail will then handle the mail locally. So basically the server is sending mail to itself. You need to edit that domains file and remove the domain name in question. Once that's done sendmail will look outside the server for answers on what it needs to do with the mail delievery. I can't remember the exact path off the top of my head because we use EXIM here (and it has the same issue) I would try either /etc/sendmail or /etc/mail or you can always do a find or whereis for domains Hello all, Having a real problem. Have written a very simple php email script that I'm testing on our server. The script works fine if I set the 'to' field as any email address but our own - i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This works fine, however as soon as I set the script to email me at the domain to which the server resolves too it fails. I do not get a error message, it says that the mail has been sent. The server runs Apache 1.3 and Php 4.1.2 (I will update to 4.2.2 once I have resolved this). The error logs on the server give no indication of any problem. I cannot work this out at all - it simply will not email to the same address as the DNS resolves its own IP address too. Our mx records are held elsewhere. I'm at complete loss on this one - I've been checking php.ini, httpd.conf etc etc and cannot work out why this is happening. Php.ini is set too: sendmail_from [EMAIL PROTECTED] sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i smtp localhost do I need to set the smtp to point to the server that holds the mx records? any help/advice much appreciated, thanks, Gareth --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [PHP] Script Modificaton question
Ahah! That's what I was thinking, thatnks for helping me clear that up!
John Holmes wrote:
I have a chat script that I downloaded and according to the license I
can modify it as much as I want, and I'm a little stuck on a simple
modification I want to make. When you type in a message it stores in
in
a file called text.php and then the chat page does an include call for
the text.php file. Currently, the writer of this script has it setup
so
all new text added is placed at the begining of the file using the
w+
command, according to php.net with fopen if I switch the w+ to a+
it
shoudl place the new data at the end of the file. However, when I make
this switch, the data is still being placed at the begining of the
text.php file. I've including the portion of the script that writes to
text.php can someone help me find what I'm not seeing?
$filename = text.php;
$fileAr= file($filename);
It's reading the whole file into an array here. The newest lines will
still be first.
exec(cat /dev/null '$filename');
$fd = fopen( $filename, w+ );
This opens the file and truncates it to zero length.
$filemessage = a
href=\javascript:launcher('profile.php?username=$username');\B$user
na
me/B/a:
;
$filemessage .=font
color=\$fcolor\$chat/fontBR\n;
fputs($fd,$filemessage);
This write the new, formatted message.
$numLines = 20;
for ($i=0;$i$numLines;$i++) {
fputs($fd,$fileAr[$i]);
And then write the first 20 lines of the file.
}
fclose( $fd );
So, if you want it in the new format of newest chat last in the file,
then use the same script, but fputs() the 20 old lines first, then the
new line. Just change the order.
This would work for you:
$numLines = 20;
$filename = text.php;
//read whole file
$fileArr = file($filename);
//open file and truncate to zero
$fp = fopen($filename,w+);
//write 20 lines of old file to new file
fputs($fp,array_slice($fileArr,0,$numLines);
//format $message
//write message to file
fputs($fp,$message);
//close file
fclose($fp);
Adapt to your needs...

[PHP] PHP Form and Arrays help
I'm having a small problem with a form I'm designing and I hope someone can point me in the right direction here. The form's function is rather simple actaully. It's supposed to take the information, run through it to make sure all the required fields have data in them, if there is a blank required field it is supposed to redraw the form showing the field missed but also store the data that was already submitted so you don't have to fill the form out all over again. Now I have it so it stores the values of text boxes, drop down menus and radio buttons but I'm having a real tough time with the check box values. Example of what I'm doing: (Gender Selection with Radio Buttons). I declare an array in my PHP by doing $genderarray=array(); Then I store the value of the form for the redraw like so: $mygender=$HTTP_POST_VARS[gender]; $genderarray[$mygender]=checked; In the actaul form I decalre a global: global genderarray(); And under the gender selection I have: input name=gender type=radio value=Male ?= $genderarray[Male] ? (works the same for the Female) Now my question is how can I do this with check boxes. I thought I could through them all into a single array, then pull out the ones who have values to them, but that's not working the way I thought.

Re: [PHP] Need Working... pop up dialog (repost)
It's due to space restrictions on the server. We have 300GB available
on the server, but the compressed data takes up 200GB, and we're adding
new data (several GB) every month or so.
So we need to keep as much compressed as possible, but we have to
uncompress the data for the webpages to use it. The PHP webpages on the
server use the uncompressed data to generate plots. The data is never
sent to the user, just the plots.
The main problem I'm having is with page resolution. If I say:
print(SCRIPTjsPopupWindow('Starting UNZIP');/SCRIPT\n);
$gunzipcmdline = gunzip /PATHTO/MYDATA;
$result = exec($gunzipcmdline, $execout, $execretval);
print(SCRIPTjsPopupWindow('Finished UNZIP');/SCRIPT\n);
the 'Starting UNZIP' popup appears at the same time as the 'Finished
UNZIP' one. The page hasn't resolved until after the gunzip is done, so
it doesn't execute the Javascript the way I want it to. I've tried
popping up a window, getting the handle, passing the handle to the
gunzip code, then closing the handle when the gunzip is done, but that
hasn't worked either.

Is the uncompressing taking place on the server? or on the local (user)
machine? Sounds like it's on the server.
The problem is, you have no *real* way of knowing how long the de-comp
will take (due to other factors, like server/client load, etc etc), so
how do you know when to go from working to done.
So, i'm trying to figure out WHY you're uncompressing a file on the
server that will be used by visitors over http.
Seems wrong to me. Increased server load, more programs, more problems,
slower server response time, increased user anger, etc etc.
Enlighten me as to why, because I may be missing something.

Re: [PHP] Need Working... pop up dialog (repost)
Another part of this is an external program on the server that can't
read from the gzipped file. The file has to be uncompressed,
unfortunately. The resulting uncompressed file is recompressed through
a cron job after 30 days if it hasn't been used for 30 days.
I came up with something that appears to work WRT the pop up dialog
problem. In my main browser window, from Javascript, I pop up an alert
telling the luser the unzip is beginning. Then in the gunzip code, in
the BODY, I do this:
print(BODY);
print( onUnload=\alert('Finished uncompressing $datafile... please .
refresh main window.')\\n);
And I use Javascript to close the window. Now I just need a way to
automatically refresh the main browser window and I'm happy.
Thanks for the help!

Uncompressing should not take that much time. And you can speed it up by
using the zlib functions instead of a exec (gunzip ...)

Also, if the file to be uncompressed is very large, you should cache the
results (the generated plots).

I thought this one was quite good to get you up to speed: http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/florian19991014.php3 Thing is, although very technically nice, it isnt really very practical, as your database increases in size rapidly, and data retrival takes longer and longer.

Well, when you set a cookie, it is sent in the headers, so the browser

RE: [PHP] SetCookie weirdness
This is actually a security feature of cookies, so that domains that dont match your cookie cannot read personal details set by another site. Don't worry, its all in order ;) Ray Hilton - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rayh.co.uk -Original Message- From: Tomaz Kovacic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 June 2001 12:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] SetCookie weirdness Hi! Last night I've found some interesting cookie behavior. I was testing some script on my local server, so I used short version of domain ( http://www ) to reach local webserver. My script stopped working, so I started to investigate a little bit what's goin on.. I've managed to get my script working only when i user SetCookie command with only 3 parameters: SetCookie (mycookie, $cookie, time()+1200); My usual form of setting cookie is with all 6 arguments like: SetCookie(mycookie, $cookie, time()+1200, /, .domain.com, 0); But if I use longer form if domain: www.local (same as www.somedomaing.com) my longer form of setting cookie started to work again. Weird. Anyone experianced similar problems? Tomaz
