If this is really what the W3C validator tells you you should file a bug
report, IMHO. Passing GET variables should be valid HTML ;-)

But I rather believe your HREF contains a closing quote somewhere before
the parameters (maybe in any parameter value). To avoid this, use
"urlencode()" vor all parameter values you use to construct a link with.

Sorry, no. This would result in a quite funny variable:
$_GET = Array(
    name    => khalid
    amp;age => d
)

True. And &amp; IS a valid html. In fact, changing & to &amp; is the only
way I could pass the xhtml validator. So, it's not really a bug when the
validator complains about the & sign...

Usually entities start with "&" and end with ";". The "entity" &section
doesn't end with ";" and is not defined, that's why it's not valid.

Jens

PS: Be aware of not writing something like
header("Location: script.php?foo1=a&amp;foo2=b");
or use $amp; in mails, which are send thorugh the PHP-
mail-function.

Right you are (and shame on me).
I just now doublechecked the RFC's - the '&' character is reserved within
HTML, it always starts a character entity, either a named or a numbered one.

So: YOU are right, the W3C Validator was right, and I was simply WRONG -
apologies for any misinformation.

Alternatively, you could set php.ini to use the semi-colon (;) to seperate
arguments.

That´s all ?? Even for a -"NOT-DSO" but CGI-Installation.???

Well, *I think* if you've overwritten the previous files, then you'll be
able to use the new versions.

Try phpinfo() or php -v (or something) and perhaps you'll see if indeed the
new version is running.

Hi there,

I have just reinstalled a new PHP version, the 4.2.3.
Before I had the 4.0.6.


I now get the quotes problem in my scripts that connect to the database.
Also the phpMyAdmin gives me errors when I use the ' inside a field in a GUI
select.
Before everything was working fine.

Which parameters could be set to make the scripts work as before?


Cheers

Daniele

Ciao Daniele,

Check this out:

Also, programmatically:

Hope it helps.

Hi PHP-List,

Oh sorry, more concrete for an easy question:

How can I start up this new and recompiled version of PHP which was
recompiled
-not as a DSO-
 but runs PHP as a CGI-Interpreter???

How can I start this fresh and recompiled PHP as a CGI-Interpreter??

How to start and fire up?
Please help.

read the manual regarding the installation of php as cgi. There you will
find the clues. I am not very sure what exactly you meant.

As this is the industry I am in, maybe I can offer a few hints/suggestions to 
start you on your way:

start with the database
  - is your user table built (how much information about the user do you need) ?
  - are you validating the incoming email address (sending an email to confirm
    entry) ?
  - are you using a seperate table for storing their selection information ?
    - yes, are you storing transactions (logging changes) ?
    - no, what happens if they want more than one team ?
  - do you have your rules for your game planned out (deadlines, team size, 
    salary cap) ?
  - do you have a support methodology prepared ?

I can answer some generalized questions about methodology of the game (so as 
not to violate my employment agreement), and some general programming issues 
that you may have.

ps. Just to give you an idea, we maintain a staff of programmers, support 
commisioners and system administrators (about 35 people), not to mention 
accounting, advertising and graphic development, to run about 40-50 games a 
year, including games for USA Today, Excite/iWon and Tops.  This development 
has been over 10 years going.  What I am trying to get at is, are you trying to 
make a friendly 'office league' type interface for your friends, or are you 
trying to make something alot bigger?  Be prepared for everything you could 
potentially need for a large operation (did I mention legal department?).

Hi out there,

I encountered a lot of problems while trying to convert a list
in Forum-Code (like UBB-Code).

[list]
[*] item 1
[*] item 2
[*] item 3
[/list]

should be converted to

<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>

I converted the first one to

<ul>
[*] item 1
[*] item 2
[*] item 3
</ul>

Now I need a Regexp for converting every [*] foo to <li>foo</li>.

I started with

$text = preq_replace('/\[\*\]([^(\[\*\])]*)/i','<li>$1</li>',$text);

The RegExp starts from [*] and saves every char in $1 until [*]
occurs again. That's fine, but what I need is a RegExp which starts
from [*] and saves every char in $1 until [*] OR </ul> occurs in
$text. I tested a lot, but didn't find a solution. I'd be glad about
any help.

Jens

That's what I thought, too. But it doesn't work.

test.php:

$text = '<ul> [*] jusfj [*] ijusnf [*] jsf [*] jusdf </ul>';
$text = preg_replace('/\[\*\]([^(\[\*\])(<\/ul>)]*)/i','<li>$1</li>',$text);
$text = htmlentities($text);

Output:

<ul> <li> j</li>usfj <li> ij</li>usnf <li> jsf </li><li> j</li>usdf </ul>

I tested some different things, which didn't work. Any more ideas
are appreciated.

Maybe you could use this solution. It supports newlines and special
characters in the item's data as well:

<?php

function ubb2ul($src)
{
        // retrieve the items
        preg_match('/\[list\]\n?(.*?)\n?\[\/list\]/is', $src, $ar);

        // now split the results by (opt) newline, followed by '[*]', (opt)
followed by whitespace
        $ar = preg_split('/\n*\s*\[\*\]\s*/s', $ar[1]);

        // $ar[0] is empty since the first element begins with a [*], chop
it off
        array_shift($ar);

        // apply htmlentities
        for ($i = 0, $c = count($ar); $i < $c; ++$i)
                $ar[$i] = nl2br(htmlentities($ar[$i]));

        // finally construct the list
        $result = '<ul><li>' . join("\n\t<li>", $ar) . "\n</ul>\n";
        return $result;
}

$ubb = '[list]
   [*] item 1 äöü line 1
item 1 line 2
  [*]               item 2
[*] item 3
[/list]';

echo ubb2ul($ubb);
?>

list throws away the other two array elements, you need
list($one,$two,$three,$rest) = preg_split("/\s+/", $text, 4);

Because that is what you asked for!

$doo = preg_split("/\s+/", $text);
print_r($doo); // each word is a separate element in $doo.

In your list() you're only taking up to the 4th element which is "I".

if you use
list($one,$two,$three,$rest) = preg_split("/\s+/", $text, *4*);
you get the remaining elements in $rest as a single string

--------------------[snip]-------------------- 

Your regex splits the entire string, and since you have only a list of four
elements, the fourth element happens to be the "I".

If you want the rest in $rest, you need a thried parameter to preg_split
telling it how many elements the resulting array should have:

$text = "And what did I tell you?"; 
list($one,$two,$three,$rest) = preg_split("/\s+/", $text, 4); 
print($rest);

will correctly output "I tell you?"

You don't need the number of elements _ahead_, just the number of elements
you want to receive - the "rest" will be in the last element.

Hi everybody!


Well this is how it goes...

For the month of January there are 31 days...
so there are 2 rows in this table on the top row there are 31 columns showing 31 days...and in the row below this one we will have to generate....colspan based on the below information pulled from the database...

2222211111111111111999999992222


in the above case we will have to get a colspan as follows:
<tr>
<td colspan="5"> 2 </td>
<td colspan="15"> 1 </td>
<td colspan="8"> 9 </td>
<td>colspan="4"> 2 </td>
</tr>


This is all I want to do....I know it is difficult...but still waiting for some genius!


Thank You!
Dhaval

Well I have 12 table for 2 years which makes it 24 tables named as:
jan_2002, feb_2002 ...etc dec_2002
jan_2003, feb_2003 ...etc dec_2003

Each table has fields according to the number of days in the month plus 1 field as a unique key.

Each registration will create 1 entry in 24 tables each and it can only be modified as 1 entry per registrant per table.
the fields in each table will take values ranging rom 1-20.

Well that's all about how my tables are in the database.


Thank You for your time

Ouch...


well, assuming you have two columns: day_id and value, here's a possible
solution:

$rs = mysql_query ('select day_id, value from my_table order by
day_id');
$a = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rs);

do
{
        $i = 1;
        $control = $a['value'];

        while (($a = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rs)) && $a['value'] == $control)
                $i++;

        echo '<td colspan=' . $i . '>' . $control . '</td>';
} while ($a);

This is a bit rough and can probably be optimized quite a bit, plus I
can't test it, so I'm not sure that it will work the first time.
Hopefully, it gives you an idea of how it could be done.

If I could make a suggestion without knowing how your system works, I
think you should revisit your database design a little.

Hope this helps,


Marco

Thanks...the thing that I did wrong was I retrieved the number with
FORMAT(SUM(amount), 2), which formats the number and return it in the string
format...so that's what happened during the computation (it only took the
number prior to the ','.  I miss the type-checking in C. :-)

You're absolutely correct. The script works perfectly fine now, and I have
you to thank. I went back to "Handling file uploads" and re-read the entire
thing. I guess I missed the part that said the following before the actual
script example. My fault and my apologies. Thanks Jason, and thanks to all
the others who replied as well.

"...Whatever the logic, you should either delete the file from the temporary
directory or move it elsewhere."
"The file will be deleted from the temporary directory at the end of the
request if it has not been moved away or renamed."

I recently updated from 4.2.0 to 4.2.3 - since doing so values submitted to php from HTML forms using keys - value="foo[bar]" - get truncated in php - example: if I submit "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it will come out as "eight13.com" with a print_r($_POST)

I found these bug reports which say what appears to be the same bug has been "fixed in CVS":

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20024
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19829

I'm wondering where to go from this point. I have a production server which I need this fixed on.

Is my only choice to checkout the entire branch for the latest version 4.2.x? (I'm assuming its branched - I've not looked at any of this yet)

Is there not a patch? Could I just checkout the applicable files?

http://snaps.php.net/ wasn't avilable at the time of writing this - possibly it would have given me more information.

you can use SQL:
SELECT id, url, image FROM tblAdds ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

I think thats just about it, that should evenly show them, if you want to
bias the displying of your ads you would need to get a count of the ads in
the DB, then use some random number generated from PHP to chose which to
use.

refreshes. How exactly can I do this?

I have an id field for each ad. How could I display a different ad each time
the page refreshes using the id field?

Thanks,

The fastest way to do this is very simple :
store the last Id of your banner , get another from your SQL table (with
rand) and display it (repeat if the Id is the same)..
And, in your html page, add a refresh=xx to refresh the ad page.

I am using the header function what i have is this:

header("Location:
http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])."/".$relative_url

$relative_url is a php file

when i run this script with this header function in
it, i get an error saying:"Redirection limit for this
URL has exceeded. Unable to load the requested page."

I dont understand why i get this error and how to fix
this.

The file loading may be too long for PHP to recognize it or whatever. Try
shortening it in some way.

This message might mean that $relative_url points to the same script...
what browser make&model are you using? IE simply loops, without any error.

A small glitch: in case dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) is empty (root
directory), your header would look as:
    http://www.yourdomain.com//relative.php

Note the double slash...

use opendir() , and readdir()..
you'll get a var like $file,
then check is_file($file) to see if it's a file :)

(take a look at the php doc.)

After this I found

[httpd.conf]
Alias /manual/ "/XXXXX/XXXX/manual/"

[php.ini]
docref_roof = /manual/php4_manual
docref_ext = .html


But I noticed no changes!

- is this a future of php ?.?.? ??

- are some configure options needed for the build?

- is it useful, how does it look like?


[some more options out php.ini]

Hi,

The Zend Engine 2 is likely to appear officially only in PHP 5.
However, I have released a couple of alphas with the Engine 2 bundled
against the latest CVS of PHP (i.e. almost PHP 4.3.0).
Hopefully within the next few weeks I'll bundle another alpha based on the
latest version of the engine 2 and the latest CVS version.

Hi all.  I was wondering if there are resources on the
web that will help me get an 
idea of the changes and new features that will be in
php5.
I'm particularly interested in what's gonna be added
or changed to php in regards to 
its OOP capabilities.

I already love this language.  I'm just looking
forward to seeing in what areas it is going to be made
even better.

Is there any way to gracefully handle errors that happen after output to the
screen has begun (the point where header(Location:) doesn't work) without
using ob_ functions?

I have a separate PHP page I'd like to display with the error if one happens
using the error_handler() and trigger_error() functions. But, I can't make
it work because if the error happens after output starts, I just get an
error stating header() won't work.

I'm also not sure of the best way to pass all the error data to the error
page. Its too much for a $_GET.

Anyone have any suggestions or links to articles that explain how this can
be done?? Thanks a lot.

Just turn off display_errors in your php.ini file

I think the only way to do it the way you want to do it is through
buffering (with the ob_functions or via the php.ini file). Turning off
error printing is another possibility--that way you can have the errors
logged to a file rather than to the screen.

One way, as you just have ruled out, would be using the ob_ functions.

However you can redirect the browser using JavaScript, with the drawback
that this will only work with compliant clients and JS not disabled.

Passing data to the error page could be done by using session data, or if
you don't want to use sessions, create a temp file and pass the name and
location to the error page.

Sending the javascript:

<?php
if ($we_found_an_error) {
        $url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .
               '/my_error_handler.php?any_parameters_you_need';
        echo '<script language="JavaScript">',
             'document.location.href="', $url, '">',
             '</script>',
             '<hr>',
             'A nasty error has occurred. If you are not redirected ',
             'to the correct page, <a href="',$url,'">click here</a> to',
             'continue (sorry folks)';
}
// else no error - continue

?>

Hope this helps,

imho there are many problems with a handler of this type... since an
error could occur anywhere--in the middle of an HTML tag, or within a
block of client-side script code--you don't know for sure that the
Javascript is going to be interpreted properly by the browser...and
therefore it may look messy and/or not work at all.

Hey Guys,

Can anyone please point me to any URLs or give me some code which will loop
through form fields and delete the particular file which is passed from the
form.  The user will click a checkbox next to each file needed deleting and
we must perform a unlink() to each file.

Thanks.

Well I tried that, however I was saving dynamically generated .XLS files.
Because I was using addslashes before hand it was reporting the wrong file
size.

So it was my mistake, thanks for your help!

This was exactly what I was trying to avoid.  See I was porting a reporting
module to write .XLS files to a database, rather than to files.  It's easier
for me to clean up old reports that way.

Anyway, thanks for your help!

Ian Newlands

I've run into a problem with an include file that I can't figure out why it's 
happening. 

Certain text files on my site are rather long. Originally, when these pages 
loaded, the menu structure would load first, followed by the text in a box  
to the right of the Menu.  However, the long text files would load over on 
top of the menu, but once the loading was complete, the text box would shift 
to its proper position. Very messy looking!

What I have done successfuly on about twelve different files, is to put the 
include statement at the very end, after the final closing </div>and before 
</body>. For all files but two, this works admirably.

On these errant last two files (they have the same div sheet and include 
file, but exhibit very different behavior), the text loads fine, but then the 
menu overlays upon it - contrary to what the div sheet says. If I put the 
include in the 'normal' place at the top of the file, everything works OK.

I've tried resetting the names of both the div sheet and the links sheet (the 
Menu) so that both are executed only once and only by the page in question. 
No change -- same effect. 

Snippet of 'Normal' placement:
. . .
<body>
<?php include("links-infoSub.sht"); ?>
<div id="content">
. . .


Snippet of 'End' placement:
. . .
</div>
<?php include("links-infoSub.sht"); ?>
</body>
</html>

Any ideas of what's going wrong? And why only these two files exhibit this 
behavior? Btw, the code of the two pages is exactly similar to all others 
that work OK. (Only the text is changed).

Any help of what might be happening here would be greatly appreciated,
Tia,
Andre
