This question is more on odbc sql than on php, since I'm sure everthing is
working on php side
I have a php form who fills on ODBC database ( Visual Foxpro) , everthing is
working except with one detail, I have a text area field on my form and
when the user fill this area with to many characters the sql query isn't
accepted, I found that the problem is due to the length of the data.
The field is a memo field who means they can accept any length,
This works ok
UPDATE catalogo SET MATERIAL = 'A12' WHERE KEYUNICA = 3941
But this crash
UPDATE catalogo SET MATERIAL =
'A123456789B123456789C123456789D123456789E123456789F123456789G123456789H1234
56789I123456789J123456789K123456789L123456789M123456789N123456789O123456789P
123456789q123456789r123456789s123456789t123456789u123456789v123456789x123456
789y123456789z123456789a123456789b123456789' WHERE KEYUNICA = 3941
The question is How is the write way to write a query when I need to updated
a field of type memo with information from a Textarea or even any big array
of letters ?
Any tip ?

RE: phpsecurityadmin-2002-07-24.zip and PHP 4.2.2
PLATFORM: win 98
BACKGROUND: in order to use the above classes i had to
upgrade to PHP 4.2.2
PROBLEM: when i upgraded to 4.2.2, all my old scripts
lost the GET or POST info being passed.
COMMENTS: everything except the phpsecurityadmin classes
worked as expected under PHP 4.0.
after upgrade, phpsecurityadmin classes work but any old
scripts that are accepting data from previous page via
GET or POST do not.
i can manually parse the GET query string, but this is foolish
and time consuming.
it's as if the automatic variables are not getting assigned
the data being passed.
QUESTION: has anybody else run across this and
what was the resolution?

Did you bother reading the documentation and release notes before
upgrading?
Edit your php.ini file and turn register_globals on.

As of version 4.2 register_globals defaults to off. You can turn it on in
your php.ini file, but it is recommended to use the new super global arrays
instead.

Hi Nick!
First off, *please* read a netiquette guide before posting -- I hate
seeing a conational of mine posting a message like yours ("###PLEASE
HELP###" and "I am waiting for an answer" are extremely rude - you're
not paying for support on this mailing list, so you can't demand
anything). Other than that, I'd point out cleaning up your code before
posting because we don't have to read through your "slickiness" -- but
that may be a matter of personal opinion.
Your problem resides exactly in your code's slickiness - which
incidentally doesn't make it any faster. Try this conventional code instead:
function delete_user($sterge_user, $path) {
[1]
$fisierul=$orig=file($path);
for($i=0;$i<sizeOf($fisierul);$i++) {
list($uname,,,,)=explode(":",$fisierul[$i]);
if ($uname==$sterge_user) {
$fisierul=array_splice($fisierul,$i,1);
$i--;
}
}
if ($fisierul!=$orig) {
[...]
}
[2]
}
[...] contains the trivial task of imploding $fisierul (using "\r\n" or
"\n", depending on the OS) and writing it. Make sure you check for and
create a lock file at [1] and respectively unlink it at [2] -- or simply
use a database instead, for that matter.
Anyway, just in case you *really* want to use your original code, the
problem is that the code (probably) finds the line to delete but doesn't
go any further than that - plus it's consuming unnecessary resources by
rewriting the file line by line.

You can either use the curl extension (see manual) or
"Snoopy" (see sourceforge), a browser client class.

i got a php-script like this, just to make sure that it works before i try
to implement it:
<html>
<head>
<title>debug</title>
</head>
<body>
'***************************************' OUTPUT
'**************************************'<br><br>
<?php
class Relic {
var $RelicName = Array();
var $RelicType = Array();
var $RelicRealm = Array();
var $RelicOwner = Array();
var $i;
function PrintInfo() {
for ($this->i = 0; $this->i < count($this->RelicName); $this->i++) {
print "$this->RelicName[$this->i] : $this->RelicType[$this->i] :
$this->RelicRealm[$this->i] : $this->RelicOwner[$this->i]<br>";
}
}
function SetName($name) {
$this->RelicName[] = $name;
}
function SetType($type) {
$this->RelicType[] = $type;
}
function SetRealm($realm) {
$this->RelicRealm[] = $realm;
}
function SetRelicOwner($owner) {
$this->RelicOwner[] = $owner;
}
}
$temp = new Relic();
$temp->SetName("olle");
$temp->SetType("melee");
$temp->SetRealm("Hibernia");
$temp->SetRelicOwner("Albion");
$temp->SetName("bertil");
$temp->SetType("melee");

$temp->SetName("sture");
$temp->SetType("magic");
$temp->SetRealm("Midgard");
$temp->SetRelicOwner("Midgard");
$temp->PrintInfo();

the function PrintInfo prints out this:

Unless you put absolute URLs for the image tags, you will need to embed
the image files in the message. That is done with multipart/related
messages.
Here you may find a ready to use PHP component that solves that problem
in a half-dozen lines:

The function move_uploaded_file() is what you want, not copy().
http://php.net/move_uploaded_file
Of course, there are full working examples in the manual, found doing a
simple whole-site search on "file upload".

I'd use an array on some way, but the other option is to see if the var is
set, else set it to N
if(isset($_POST['my_checkbox_var'])) {
$_POST['my_checkbox_var'] = 'N';
}
Probably what I'd do is create an array for the possible checkbox values,
then USE THAT ARRAY to build the form. Then I can re-use the array on the
validation script, checking that each element isset()... if they aren't, set
them to 'N'.
To throw in a curve-ball, you can set the default value for your MySQL
column to 'N', which means that any value you DON'T write will be 'N', and
those you do will be 'Y'.

Yes that's what I was doing- because the form has other elements other than
checkboxes I have to distinguish between the checkboxes and the others and
hence a separate array for checkboxes.

Great idea! Actually after I posted the question I thought of the same
thing :-). This is probably the most elegant way. I am curious though why
PHP doesn't just create the variable anyways and just assign it a null value
if the box is not checked.

It's not PHP's fault -- it's the CGI/POST specs. The browser is not sending
it through, because that's what it was told to do :)

Dear David you haev just hijacked my thread. When you want to post a
message please do not just hit the reply button and just change the
Subject line. If you do that you message will appear in someone else's
message thread.
It really ruins it for people who use mail/news readers with threads
enabled and worse, you might not get any answers to your question since
it might get lost deeps in a totally unrelated mesage thread.
Just a friendly reminder on netiquette. Please don't do it again.

Ah- got it. That would make sense since it's the browser that's send the
form data to the server, and if it doesn't chose to.... I wonder why the
CGI/POST specs are like that- there's probably a good reason?

Pass the file through a PHP script, using header() to set the mime-type,
then passing the file through.
Pretty sure there's examples (and documentation of the problems with IE)in
the manual:

As I mentioned before this solution is set for disaster as you grow into
larger number of recipients. The problem is that queuing separate
messages for each recipient will fill up your disk. But that is not all.
The eventual message bounces that you will get will only aggravate your
problem. If you can live without personalization, don't think twice,
forget it. If you have doubts, think again.

I am not sure that sending to the local mailer queue via SMTP would be
any better than using sendmail itself to put the message there. Anyway,
I am afraid that the message will still wait for sendmail to process it

I am afraid this code needs a lot of work or else it will choke on some
servers due to multi-line responses, maybe not on the actual sendmail
version and configuration you are using, but definetely on some SMTP
servers.

I wouldn't call this a real solution, since it relies heavily on specific
server requirements and config changes. Simple fact is that a LOT of PHP
programmers are on shared servers, and their hosts would NOT want 50,000
emails queued up on disk. No way!!
I'd expect doing this frequently on a shared server would be the fastest way
to get your account shut down.

Yes, very true. Actually on shared servers, most ISP would not allow you
to send messages to that many recipients even if you use just send one
message in Bcc for all because in the end it will consume much bandwidth.
Some people think that working around the problem by sending just to a
few hundred at a time will solve the problem, but they are just fooling
themselves because it will still consume the same, if not more, bandwidth.
Another problem why shared server hosting companies forbid bulk-mailing
is that they can't be sure if what people is sending is really solicited
e-mail, even if you sware that it is. There is always the risk of having
their IP ranges blacklisted by anti-spammers and they do not want to
deal with that.
Many people are resorting to ADSL/cable lines for bulk-mail (solicited
or not). Because of that, many ISP have included the IPs of those
connection in the Dial-Up List which is basically used by many mail
server administrators to refuse messages as they may be from hit-and-run
spammers.
If you are really sending solicited e-mail, eitheir you use a server
that you absolutely control or hire e-mail delivery hosting services
that are meant for that purpose, despit they currently are not very cheap.

It's a bit harsh to say it's not a real solution just because it relies on
some specifics. There's no harm in taking advantage of your situation and use
whatever resources you can to complete your job.
I run a qmail server. When I send out newsletters, I run a query and extract
the mailing addresses I need. Then I build a .qmail file (similar to
sendmail's alias file), and finally I send mail to that .qmail (alias). The
mail is queued once and all recipients listed in the .qmail file gets a copy.
It is a solution that works for me so don't tell me that that is a virtual
solution :)
The fact is that a solution that relies solely on PHP would probably be too
slow, unreliable and messy.

But you would have 50,000 mails going out anyway regardless of what solution
you come up with. You mentioned sparklist in previous posts. Assuming that
they allow customised mailings, how would you get 50,000 pieces of info to
them so that they can perform the mailing?

I would recommend getting a dedicated server. They start from USD100/month and
can easily cope with 10-20 sites so cost per site is only $5-10. Of course
that opens another can of worms because you would have to deal with server
administration etc.

The problem would still likely be there for mailing lists of 2000 people. I
just don't want people to see your post and think "woo-hoo", I've found the
answer to all my problems!!
This is *a* solution, but not the best for the majority of developers.

The difference with sparklist over running something on a shared host is
that Sparklist is a dedicated mailinglist company, so their servers are
geared up for this one task. The problem with aiming to achieve this is on
a shared server with 100-200 other websites is that the server is geared
towards hosting sites, not bulk mail.
Given a dedicated server, all is well, but my *guess* is that many of the
developers on here are on shared servers (at least those in the
newbie-beginner-intermediate levels).
I haven't looked into sparklist too heavily... US$50/month is a little
steep. Their minimum per month is 50,000 emails, and i'm likely to only
send 1000-2000, but they do offer customised emails.

This will be something i look into over the next year. I have about 15
sites hosted on a reseller account... it'd be nice to move them into my own
server when the $'s add up... (haven't seen much in the way of dedicated
servers for under US$300 though...).

I also use qmail but I don't use any .qmail file. I just use
qmail-inject puting all receipients in BCC. It always takes less than 3
seconds. What really takes some time is the extraction of addresses from
a SQL database.

i tried it using the 5th parameter with -odd and the mail got qued but i also need to
set [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so i get those bounces) but i got <[EMAIL PROTECTED] -odd> for the
return path in the email.
i then tried it with the -odd first and it qued the mail but didn't set the return
path, i also want to set it so it only returns the headers using -Rhdrs so need to set
3 options when sendmail is called.
can you set multiple options with the 5th parameter? i would have thought it would
append the stuff in the 5th to the sendmail path set in php.ini but it doesn't seem to
work that way.
i can do this fine by using popen() and adding the parameters to the path so i can't
see why it doesn't play with the mail function.

What does the php logs say? You should set error_reporting to E_ALL.

The user that the webserver (assuming apache) is usually nobody or apache and
may not have the necessary permissions to execute your script. Also try
specifying the complete path to bash.

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie. I've been searching google and php.net trying to find
information on how to set up a Master Page to do multiple records updating,
but have found very little. I have a table with 10 rows of data from MySQL
and I'd like the user to check the "Approve" checkbox and for as many as he
wants to approve and then click "Submit".
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks, Doug

Hi,
Print out your data onto a master page, with checkboxes. The checkboxes
should be an array, with the ID (or some other unique identifier) of each
row. The array would look something like:
$approve['1'] => 'Y';
$approve['2'] => 'Y';
$approve['3'] => 'Y';
...
$approve['10'] => 'Y';
The array will only contain rows which were checked.
Then on the next page, you loop through the array with a foreach statement,
updating the table to suit:
foreach($approve as $k => $v)
{
$sql = "UPDATE .... WHERE id='{$k}'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
Hope this is enough to get you started.

Any ideas if it's possible to keep a script running for a short time after a
client has been redireced?
i.e:
<?
header("Location: http://php.net";);
# contunue running...

Sure, in fact, that happens by default unless you explicitly exit or try
to output something.

Hello Rasmus,
Now that the topic has been brought,
How much long will the script keep running after the redirection request has
been made?
Doesn't that behaviour depend from browser to browser ?
Thanks,
Elias

It has absolutely nothing to do with the browser. PHP is a server-side
language. See

Hi,

The session as such is not destroyed only the cookie used to id it if you are using
cookies. If The SID is being passed in the url and that is bookmarked
then the session could be restarted before the timeout occurs in a new
browser.

Nope. Is the is the entrance so there is no nothing passed to it. Users
just enter the URL in the location bar, for example, and come in.

Really? I just turned cookies and javascript off and then visited
Amazon.com. I added an item to my cart, hit the back buttonall way back
to the entrance and then checked my cart ... lo-and-behold the item was
in my cart still. How did they do that?

Ok. Can you explain this in more detail? I understand the concept you
are suggesting but I can't picture how to do this in PHP.
Thanks for the info!

Something like:
If there isn't a session, start one and redirect to the same page WITH the
session id, otherwise just continue the session.
In theory, you should always get a session ID in the URL of startpage.php.
But I can't stress enough, this is all theory -- the code hasn't been tested
at all... nor particularly thought through :)
startpage.php:
<? // untested code
if(!isset(session_id()))
{
session_start();
header("Location: startpage.php?PHPSESSID=".session_id())
}
else
{
session_start();
}
?>
<HTML>
...
</HTML>

But if they it the back button again they would come to the real first
they came to and that page would reload itself, generating a new SID no?
I did some testing and found that there must be a way.
I turned cookies and javascript off and then visited Amazon.com. I added
an item to my cart, hit the back button all way back to the entrance and
then checked my cart ... lo-and-behold the item was in my cart still.
How did they do that?
Maybe some use of header() on the first page to redirect itslef to page
with a SID?

If you're using Redhat then install the php-imap-*.rpm package.

$file=file("http://url.html";);
