you are trying to use a server side language to do a client side task.
You have two choices, write the form in javascript and pass it to the
new window or use something like a cookie or database to collect and
pass on the information to the page that resides in the window.

Hello,
I'm looking for code to display all my mysql databases in a <select>.
On change, I want to display all my tables in a <select>.
Finally, on change, it has to display all record of the table selected:
Print Record
id YR AU BT
1 1997 Fee, Margery Writing Orality: Interpreting Literature
Display in English by Aboriginal Writers in North
America, Australia and New Zealand
Can someone give me a hand getting started?
I would normally use phpmyadmin, but I want to customise something they
don't offer.

Start with something like the following and add mysql_list_dbs () to query
the system for the available databases.

You have to use the query with mysql_num_rows(), not the result of the
query, try:
if (mysql_num_rows($sql_authorisation) == 0) {
And it woudl be better to test for a single row, not the fact that no rows
returned. I would use:
if (mysql_num_rows($sql_authorisation) == 1) {
$user_array = mysql_fetch_array($sql_authorisation_result);
$login_username = $user_array[account_name];
session_register("login_username");
}

I am very new at this and am having trouble migrating to php and mysql from
a different system (WebCatalog).
I want to start dumping files to text and let php use them to populate mysql
on the fly as I start migrating.
----------------snip-----------------------
$db = mysql_pconnect("host", "user", "pass");
$query = "insert into catalogwinetmp values
include("testsql")";
$result = mysql_query($query);
---------------end-snip--------------------
The contents of "testsql" look like this
(19, 38080, 'Senejac', 'Haut-Medoc / Cru Bourgeois', '', 12, 1995, 'Bottle -
.75L', 'LN, LE, CI', 135, '/collectors/images/bottles/38080.JPG'),
(20, 38780, 'Yquem', 'Sauternes / Premier Cru Superieur', '', 1, 1927,
'Bottle - .75L', 'TS, LP, CI', 465, '/collectors/images/bottles/38780.JPG');
Just with more lines (1-18).
But I can not get rid of errors in the
$query = "insert into catalogwinetmp values
include("testsql")";
No matter what quotes and semi-colons I put in testsql or in this script.
If I try to set the contents of the include into a variable as in:
$rowsToAdd = include(testsql);
all I get is the value 1, I guess this is because it is successful.
If I could get a variable to contain the contents of the include I am not
sure if I could use it in the script.
I am not sure if I am even getting warm or if I am on another planet.
1. Any ideas how I can simply make php get a text file into the mysql
database?
2. Is there a way to set a (albeit maybe large) variable with the contents
of an include file?
Sorry to sound like such a php newbie, but I am.
Kind thanks,
Paul

INCLUDE is not really what you are looking for. INCLUDE is more to read in
files that contain PHP code. If I'm understanding correctly, what you want
to do is to read each line from your file and put each line into a separate
variable. Then, you can create the INSERT statement for each row.
It might go something like this:
$fp = fopen("testsql","r") ;
while ($row = fgets($fp,1024))
{
$query = "INSERT INTO catalogwinetmp VALUES $row";
$result = mysql_query($query);
}
It looks like there might be something at the end of each line that you need
to remove before you construct the query. A comma on the first line and a
semicolon on the second line.

I think a definition of GUI might be in order. Homesite, for instance, is
just a big text editor. It has almost no GUI design features, drag and drop
coding, that kind of thing. I think of a GUI as Dreamweaver, or something
where you are not using the code directly. Homesite and the Zend Studio are
both code editors that provide the same kind of features as TextPad with PHP
libraries, clip books and syntax coloring files. Emacs, which I use a lot,
is in the same class (not GUI, I don't think).
I agree that with GUIs, by my definition at least, one should learn on tools
in which they are really working with the code. If they can insert the
skeleton of a control structure with one click or not doesn't impact their
development (either of themselves or their program) negatively.

I'm currently working on a web based application (in php) and saw the power
of being able edit fields in the pdf document. I can see how to build the
pdf file by hand, but I have a few dozen forms (multiple pages of course)
that I wish I could scan in and have a rough pdf file to start working with.
I've been generating html code using php, and would like to directly
generate pdf files as they look much better. Is there software "out there"
that I can import an html file into, or excel, or word and spit out the pdf
code, or something usable?
Thanks,
Jeff.

Seems a couple other answers pointed you to Adobe, but if you need to
run this under Unix, you're kinda outta luck. Adobe don't make current
tools for Unix (as far as I can tell).
If you don't mind approximations, you might look at htmldoc (google
search for HMTLDOC - I forget the address). It'll take HTML files you
generate and make PDFs from them. Not bad for doing reports, etc.
txt2pdf is another one which isn't too bad, but I've not used much lately.
When you say 'start working with', what do you mean? You want to
further modify the PDF? If so, with what tools? Generally any produced
PDF file is going to be 'done' - you won't be able to edit it
programmatically. PDFLIB has a PDI component which will let you modify
preexisting PDFs, but it's not a cure all, and it costs about $1000.
If you need to discuss this further, shoot me an AIM tomorrow (mgkimsal)
or another email with more specifics at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Good luck...

Hi All,
I have seen a lot of discussion about this - but no real solutions
:)
I am getting a two task communication error whenever I try to select
a varchar2 element in a query in php4. I seem to be able to select any other
kinds of data without hassle.
All of my environment variables are set correctly, and I have
experimented at length with different NLS_LANG values.
The client machine is Mandrake Linux, running php 4.1.1 with oracle
and oci8 support compiled in. SQL*Net is able to query the remote db server
without any problems at all.
Has *anyone* got any experience with Oracle9i and PHP that might be
able to help? I would rather use MySQL in a heartbeat, but Oracle9i is a
client requirement.
Cheers,
Brad

Dear List,
Is there PHP scripts which I can use to conduct online debate at my website.
Say, I set a topic to debate on and people can post 'for' or 'against' it. I
think it needs to be different from the threaded discussion forum.
Could anyone suggest me where I can get it?

Hello everyone,
This is my first post to this list, so I hope that someone is awake enough to help me
out.
I am new to PHP and I have a file that uses a command "header". It isn't working like
it is supposed to but I can't seem to figure out why. Below is the last couple lines
of the php file that is giving me trouble.
while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$II=$row[0];
}
Header("Location: $Relative/admin/upload.php?II=$II");
Basically all it does when the whole file is called is return page does not exist. The
file that it refers to is there and the Var "$Relative" is used in many other scripts
with no probs so I don't think that is it. Is passing the Var "$II" as part of the
location incorrect?
Any help is welcomed.
If you need to see more of the script to understand what I am talking about, I will
post it.
TIA

Simply, to send a form to itself, you can use a special variable called
$PHP_SELF. Here's an example of how to use it:
if ($somevalue) {
header("Location: $PHP_SELF");
} else {
execute some other code...
}
Here, if $somevalue holds true, it will call itself and reload the same
script/file. This code is not very useful at all, but it gets the point
across. If you wanted to pass GET variables to this, then you could
easily say:
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?var=value&var2=value2&var3=value3");
...and so on. You can also use this approach with Sessions if you wanted
to turn the values back over to the form page, assuming you had two
pages: one for the form, and one for form checking and entry into a
database. There are several ways to check forms, whether you want it on
one page or span it out to several pages. You just need to be creative
in what tools are avaiable to you. Here is an example of how you can
pass session values:
header("Location: some_file.php?<?=SID?>");
Here, whatever variables you've registered in session_register() will be
passed to the php page you specify, in this case some_file.php. Hope
this helps. Have fun, and happy coding. :)

Here's what I did.
$error = "";
if (error_in_field_1) $error .= "A";
if (error_in_field_2) $error .= "B";
if (error_in_field_3) $error .= "C";
and so on. Then, when displaying the form...
if (strstr($error,"A")) { echo "You forgot to fill in this field<br>\n"; }
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"Whatever\" value=\"$whatever\">";
etc.

I think that mixing of html and php is too complex and leads to hard to
maintain scripts. I find it extremely difficult to understand a scripts
logic when it's spread out over hundreds of lines of php/html.
I use EasyTemplates that came in Web Applications Development with PHP 4.0
by Tobias Ratschiller and Till Gerkin. It looks like the source is
copyrighted and you have to buy the book to get it. But it says it's based
on FastTemplates. The book itself is at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735709971/
You can see a sample of the method here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=101371611609042&w=2
Notice that the form action handler is the same as the original form. This
is a simple example, but it does "remember" user input as you want.
I wrote a couple of helper functions that accept db names to build select
boxes and radio buttons. They return strings of the html with the selected
value, and I just put them in a template container reserved for them (the
{TEMPLATE_ITEM} in the sample).
For tables with unknown number of rows, I have one template of the main
page, one for the table container, and one for each row itself. I loop on
the row, using the row template and concatenate all of the rows of html into
a string. I take that string and stick it into the table template, and
finally stick the table into the page template. Very smooth, easy to read,
and no trouble with headers() since all output is done on the last
statement. You have complete control over the script until then, and can
bail out to another page, or decide to use other templates and output
something else.
As for errors, I build an array of the messages such as:
if (!empty($thatsThere)) {
$errors[] = "Don't put $thatsThere in there";
}
if (empty($userName)) {
$errors[] = "Username must be supplied";
}
Then you can tell if all is okay, with if (is_array($errors)). If it is an
array, then something is wrong, so I append the array contests into html
like this:
foreach($errors as $value) {
$errorMsgs = $value . "<br>\n";
}
and then put $errorMsgs into the page template container you've reserved for
it.

Why do not you all just put all your PHP logic, db access, etc at the TOP
of the script. Once you have your results and variables created, then
start into html.
This method produces MUCH cleaner scripts, and there is a very minimal
amount of PHP interspersed within the HTML. Also, you have time to bail
out, or redirect, etc...

I don't know how to run php code as a freestanding executable but it can be
done. For cron, heck, I never remember the syntax either and my gui is no
help so I always go this page that my host put up:
http://www.viaverio.com/support/virtual/admin/unix/cron.cfm
Rule is not to run anything at a give time.
So the following should probably at set to a different time. See above link
for breakdown of fields (what they mean etc.).
Be sure that the "time" you think it is is actually the time it will run. My
server for instance runs on GMT not my CST or even the EST where the
server is located.
# Execute the "vnukelog" command at 12:00 midnight (0 0) on August 19
# (8) (aug).
0 0 19 8 * /usr/local/bin/vnukelog
You can always do a "man cron" to see info for your system.
Any hosting company worth anything will help you with at least once.
I'm not sure where STDOUT goes, I always have it sent to me via email by
putting my email at the top of the cronfile (see above url of info on that).
You seem to be printing to STDOUT in the PHP snippet you sent.
I think you only want to do the update in your PHP script. I'm sure
someone will show you how to do this via PHP, I don't know, I use Perl for
this stuff. Here's how I'd do it in Perl (MyDBI is a private module).
I suggest you check to make sure that your cron job runs properly (you'll be
suprised at the number of times something happens where it doesn't).
use strict;
use MyDBI;
eval {
my $dbh = MyDBI->new(
data_source => 'dbi:mysql:database=x;host=x',
username => '',
password => ''',
);
my $sql = "SELECT Subject,body,article_id,Born FROM news WHERE
visibility is NULL ORDER BY article_id LIMIT 500";
my $sth = $dbh->{dbh}->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute();
};
if($@) {
print "This script no go: $@";
}

I heard from my coursemates it's just typing https:// instead of http://.
1) To enable secure http (SSL) session, what extensions should I install? To
which one: Apache or PHP or Linux?
2) How do I know if my Apache and/or Linux and/or PHP support SSL?

To have a secure HTTP session, you must be communicating with a secure web
server. This is apache. It has nothing to do with PHP or Linux.
You classmate was right. The only difference for SSL is that you use https
instead of http. To find out if your server can communicate using SSL, try
it. If you try to access a web page using https and the server is not a
secure server, you will get an error message. Page connot be displayed.
If you are using Apache and you installed it yourself, if you did not do
extra stuff to make it SSL, then it is not. For more info, go to main apache
web site, www.apache.org, and follow links to apache-ssl and mod_ssl.

Heres's a frustrating, and maybe not so stupid question?
I'm getting "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource" on this line:
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
So what am I doing wrong here:
$where = "id like $id";
$news = mysql_query('select * from ccl where '.$where.' order by AU
desc'); //desc => z-a
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
echo "<tr bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"><td align=center><a
href=\"index.html?id=$mydata->id\">Print
View</a></td><td>$mydata->id</td><td>$mydata->AU</td><td>$mydata->ST</td><td>$mydata->BT</td></tr>\n";
}#end of while
I've tried variations like:
$news = mysql_query('select * from ccl where id like $id order by AU
desc');
$news = mysql_query("select * from ccl where id like $id order by AU
desc");
$id checks out ok. I use index.html?id=4
AU exists; ok. So ... ?

A) Have you already confirmed that a valid database connection was made?
B) String values in mysql have to be quoted. For example, "where
foo='bar'" or "where foo like 'bar%'".
C) Error checking on database operations is a really good idea. Even just
a short "or die()" on the mysql_* calls can help you track down problems
much more effectively. For example:
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die("MySQL reports error: ". mysql_error() . "
for query " . htmlentities($sql));
For more sophisticated error handling, see
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php>.

Yes. A copy and paste of working code:
$news = mysql_query("select * from ccl ORDER by AU asc");
Connection was made.
So I do?
$news = mysql_query("select * from ccl where '.$where.' order by AU desc");
or ?
$news = mysql_query("select * from ccl where '.%$where%.' order by AU desc");
The % are not necessary? because id is an auto_increment number from 0 to
1,000+.
Why the ' inside " ?

Neither. Where $id==1, these would interpolate to:
select * from ccl where '.id like 1.' order by AU desc
select * from ccl where '.%id like 1%.' order by AU desc
This is why <repeat>error checking with an echo of your query to the
browser</repeat> is valuable. You can see exactly what the complete query
string looks like, and also copy/paste it to the commandline for further
testing.

The "like" keyword is used with a wildcard operator, either "%" or "_". If
you're matching against an exact value, then use the "=" operator instead
of "like". See the MySQL manual for more info on the "like" keyword and
wildcards.
If id has a numerical field type instead of one of the string types, you
don't need to quote $id. See the MySQL manual for more info on quoting
string values.

hi john,
maybe this is the right way
$where="id like ".$id;
$query="select * from ccl where '".$where."' order by AU desc";

I use Interbase on the Linux and NT servers and I would like to have a
report generator that can take the results of a query and produce that
can be converted into a PDF file.
Does anyone have some suggestions on how I can best achieve this goal?

I used to use JEdit and Nedit -- both were satisfactory, but recently
I've become a nut for GVim (or Vim if you're only only on a tty). If
you'd like, I can send you my .vimrc file, which sets things up very
nicely the way I like them.

Hi,
I'd like to implement a system whereby people have a subdomain on my site like so:
yourname.mysite.com
I've been reading the apache docs that say you can do this via virtual hosts.
Can I do it so 'yourname' can be anything - where all requests are sent

any reason why my isp might be reluctant to do this.I'm presuming I can't

Hi, Look into mod_rewrite with Apache.
We use it to capture www.univo.biz/yourname and display a page about you.
However, my experience is very limited. I would imagine you could figure
it out though.

hi my name is Cristiano and I've a question:
why the function "is_uploaded_file" return "1"?
my example file is index.php
thanks
<?php
function carica() {
global $userfile;
echo "<br>FUNZIONE is_uploaded_file (č un boolean 0 - vero, 1 - falso)-->
".is_uploaded_file ($userfile);
}
echo ""
."<form action=\"index.php?op=carica\" method=\"post\" "
."enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">"
."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"MAX_FILE_SIZE\" value=\"2000000\">"
."File: <input name=\"userfile\" type=\"file\">"
;
echo ""
."<input type=\"submit\" value=\"invia\" name=\"B1\">"
."</form>"

Hi all,
I've been trying for the last three hours to do something like this:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
$fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$line = fgets($fp, 4096);
print $line;
}
fclose($fp);
?>
And then calling it with something like:
cat foo.txt | ./echofile.php
The problem is, it will print the first line of foo.txt, and then exit.
No matter what I do, I can't get it to read the next line. I've even
added a test after the print command to see if it's at EOF, and it's
not. I've also changed it to do this:
while (($buf = fgets($fp, 4096)) != FALSE) {
print $buf;
}
Still won't read more than one line of the file. The only thing I've
been able to do that seems to work is this:
$fp = fopen("/dev/fd/0", "r");
while (!feof($fp)) ......
[The code snippets I've quoted above are just rough sketches ... I
really am checking the return value from fopen() to make sure I open the
file, etc.]
I'm using PHP 4.1.1 on Solaris 8. Can somebody PLEASE tell me what the
problem is? What stupid mistake am I making?
Thanks.
-bsh :-)

ARGH!!!
I'm seriously sick of this! I've spent days on end reading
documentation, trying settings, seeking help, and it still
won't bloody work! So I've taken the ultimate step, and
applied the trusty rm -rf command to everything that has
to do with sendmail!
In other words, sendmail is no longer on my systems.
Screw it, causes more bad than good!
Ok, now surprisingly enough I do have a final question
regarding PHP/Mail (And I mean final!)
How can I get PHP to send mail through a local SMTP
server?
I'm running Linux RedHat 7.1, latest Apache and PHP.
I have eXtremail installed locally. It's a POP3/SMTP
server. Works fine - fact.
There's 3 configuration options in php.ini that I've been
playing with, no matter what the combination is, I don't
really see it doing anything different.
I've read everything relevant on php.net and still can't
find anything. I'm sorry if this is a really stupid question.
Thanks soooo much for all your help!

Hi,
I am new to PHP and am having problems with no-cache headers, I have the
following code added as the first line of code in the page...
<?
header("Expires: Mon, 01 Jan 1997 00:00:00 GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
?>
A combination of no-cache headers usually does the trick, well in ColdFusion
anyway :o), yet this code still shows the wrong images after an upload until
a refresh of the browser is performed. Have I done something wrong or are
headers not very reliable in PHP?
TIA

Those are fine. I also add:
<meta content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Mon, 06 Jan 1990 00:00:01 GMT">
If you just added the cache control, then have you cleared the browser
cache? Once the page is cached, the browser will return it regardless of
the cache-control.

Hi there,
I would like to create a pdf file and place a heading in the center of the

hi folks,
I was just wondering what your opinions were on using preg_match, preg_split
instead of ereg and explode?
I have to write a script to parse a lot of html and text files.. and I'm
looking to use the fastest possible functions to do this...
Many thanks for all your input!

Is it possible to use variable variables from form values inside a function.
For example when submitting form values, this works fine:
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
if (empty($$key)) {
print "empty value $key<br>";
}
}
but, this doesn't:
function myFunction() {
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
if (empty($$key)) {
print "empty value $key<br>";
}
}
}
Anyone dealt with this?

Since php variable scope is local unless you define it global, that won't
work that way. You might try (just guessing here):
function myFunction() {
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
global $$key;
if (empty($$key)) {
print "empty value $key<br>";
}
}
}

That did it.
I assumed that since $_POST was global, the key/value pair would be. Guess
not :-|

Thanks to everyone that helped me with my last problem I've run into
another problem and was wondering if someone here could offer any help or
suggestions. The project I'm working on is an event calender. It does
several things but the problem I've run into is when I click a date on the
calendar if there are no events for that day I want to print a message on
the web page saying as much. I've read the documentaion that said if I'm
using a select statement to use mysql_num_rows and that it returns an
integer. Here is a snippet of my code
$query = "SELECT *,TIME_FORMAT(eventtime, '%l:%i %p')AS eventtime,
DATE_FORMAT(dateofevent,'%M %e, %Y') AS fdateofevent FROM tamutevents
where refid=$refid";
$result = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die("Error in Query");
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
Next I say if ($num == 0)
{
echo " There are no events scheduled today!";
}
else
{
echo "blah, blah, blah";
}
The problem is if there are no records that match the select then it always
goes to the else part. I've tried printing the value of $num and it works
if there is something scheduled but when there is nothing scheduled $num
shows nothing on the screen.
I'm using Mysql 3.23.38 and php 4.06 on a windows test machine but it works
the same on php 4.06 and Mysql 3.23.46 on my Linux server.
Has anyone else run into this and if so can you tell me what to do about it.
Thanks in advance - Frank

Maybe you can round the problem with
if ($num < 1)
echo "Nothing today!";
else
echo "Something to do today!";
if (!isset($num) || $num == 0)...

date() is your answer, use it in the piece of code generating the query.
$DateTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s); // "2002-02-18 16:10:43"
