hi,
i'm a newbie in php and mysql. i've just installed mysql 4.0.13 with a
.tar.gz file. PHP 4.2.2 comes along with my redhat 9 installation.
I can't seem to connect to mysql with any php scripts. I've noticed a
package named php-mysql. I've tried to install, but it has a dependency
on mysql. It couldn't detect mysql installation that i did because i
didn't install it with rpm binary package. Thus, if i try to install
the php-mysql package, i would need to install mysql 3.23. Is there a
way that i could get the functionality of php-mysql package?

If you're comfortable with installing from tarballs I recommend that you
remove RPMs of apache, mysql and php and install all three from source
(google for LAMP guide or similar). This is much better in the long run as
you can upgrade each of them independently without having to wait for RH to
release the relevant RPMs.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but please be aware that
you can only set cookies and output header() info before any
normal output has taken place. If for example an include file
has an empty line after it's closing '?>'-line it will output
an empty line in HTML and no more cookies and header info
can be send (in the main file).
Check out the ob_start() (output-buffer start) function
in the manual and also the sections about cookies and
about the header() function. It is all being explained
somewhere but it may be hard to find and piece together.
It took me quite a while in an older version of the
manual. (But currently Chapter 17 is very clear about it.)
To make a fail-safe system, try this in your main .php
file:
<?php
//make sure the previous line is the first line in the file
ob_start();
include "whatever.php";
In the include file and the rest of the file you can use
header() and setcookie() etc. as much as you like,
as long as you don't flush the output buffer.
Beware however that debugging scripts like these might
get a lot tougher since all output is halted until the
script ends and if something goes wrong it may not
output it's data at all.
Greetings,
Jaap

Hi,
I am having some issues with PHP's IMAP support and was
hoping that a kind soul on this list would point me in the right
direction.
First of all, I am confused how PHP provides IMAP support.
Is '--with-cyrus' supposed to complement the functionality provided
by the c-client? or is it a complete replacement for the latter?
I would much rather not have to use the c-client and was wondering whether
I can get away just '--with-cyrus'.
TIA for any pointers.

have a column in your user table called "last_active"... it should hold a
date-time, or a unix timestamp, or something like that.
on each page request by a logged in user, you would update that value with a
newer stamp
on physical logout, you would set that to zero or null.
on login, you would check that the value is either zero, or that there has
been at least "X" seconds/minutes passed since the user was last active.
if a user tries to log-in whilst still "active", you'd need to tell them
what happened, explain there's a wait time, or get them to force-logout via
an email sent to their member email address or something.

If you are not running PHP under a Windows platform and can compile
extensions into PHP the most efficient way to solve problem #2 may be with a
PHP extension I developed. It handles constants and provides a type of
persistent variable too. It has been immensely useful for my projects.

What's the difference (and what's correct)?
With the use of error_reporting = E_ALL in php.ini I get an error as
mentioned above. In the code I use $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]. Changing this to
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] report no error but with error_reporting = E_ALL &
~E_NOTICE anything goes.

The manual talks about this, look for the section
titled: Why is $foo[bar] wrong?
http://us2.php.net/types.array
You want to quote your array key as otherwise PHP will
first look for a constant. Undefined variables/constants
are E_NOTICE level errors. PHP throws this error but
assumes you meant a string, so tries to be smart. Also,
read about strings:

PEAR is a module for PHP, it is a common space. If you put a file there you
can include it any file you want by just given the command
include("file.php") in any file...
you have to put the password.inc.php file to your php "include" directory
otherwise it does not matter if you edit the config file or not.

Hi,
I'm trying to get an installation of PHP 4.3.2 with Apache 1.3.27
(SAPI), and mysql/zlib/xml-rpc support working with redhat 9's standard
MySQL distribution 3.23.56-1.9
I have successfully compiled Apache and PHP so that normal programs work
in both cases. However, I get an error when I use mysql_connect() (no
parameters or with 'localhost' or with a username).
The error is somthing like couldn't connect to MySQL through
/tmp/mysql.sock. (I'm sending this message from another system)
my configure line was --with-mysql (no directory).
Anyone with experience in this matter would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Greg

Try specifying 'mysql.default_socket' in php.ini.

Hi List
I'm investigating different possibilities to generate printable and
read-only documents, and the "best" method seems to be generating PDF's,
however, I have NO experience with working with PDF's, and the examples
in the manual only list a simple "one-liner" text pdf.
Where can I find more material that will explain in layman's terms how
to generate pdf's from various sources. As example, I'd like to generate
PDF's of a webpage "on-the-fly" or even from data in MySQL tables. It
seems that you need to provide the pdf generation process with the
co-ordinates and size of each "element", but it is the location of the
"elements" that I have trouble with, ie. what is needed to define each
element?
Thanks for the help.

There are several classes available which provide higher level functions
making things much easier. One that I've used and can recommend is pc4p.

Again, there are programs that convert HTML to PDF. But unless the page layout
is fairly the simple the results can be pretty horrible. Your best bet is the
hand code the page using one of the above mentioned classes.

Searching through the archives, most people are running away from
caching php scripts.
Im trying to do the opposite.
I have a script that fetches css files. Im trying to add header() calls
to it so
that browsers can cache it like a normal css file.
This is what I have at the top of the file ->
----------
header('Content-type: text/css');
header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time() + 3600) . ' GMT');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s',
filemtime('./foo.php')) . ' GMT');
--------
For the life of me, according to the output of ethereal (a network
sniffer), this file is always fetched from the server.
Yes I did breeze by the HTTP 1.1 spec, but I didn't pick up on anything
special that I should be doing.
Is there a way to make the file be put into cache, or am I barking up
the wrong tree.
Thanks for your insight.

You can always store the file and every so often regenerate it, and if the
regernation hasn't timed out jsut passtrhu the cache.

Hi,
I have a page with 78 textfields on, is there a way of picking out the field
names and values that the user has filled in as they are very unlikey to be
filling in all of them?
Thanks for your help
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
take a look at the $_POST array (or $_REQUEST). they contain all submitted
values.
if there are still empty fields, try foreach() and !empty().

Hi All,
I have a little question, i would like to load up a array with the file
list of a virtual directory...
example http://my_server/my_directory
I have seen the scandir function and it looks great, but i would prefer load
the thing using the virtual directory not the real directory
Is there any way to do this ?, or must i use the fisical directory ???
THankx for reading
Stay happy
Miguel Angelo

Daniel,
What about using IP Logging? If the user is already logged in with the same
IP you can let them on, if its a new IP you could ask them if they are a
returning user? If so, make them log in a second time for verification, and
close the other logged in user/account.
Make some fancy "It appears your at a different location message, for
security we'll need you to log in again."
Now if they have dial up that might be a pain in the rear as the IP can
change on each dial up, but for most broadband accounts and business that
the user could go to, IE public library, etc.. they'd still only have one IP
(assuming it's static) for each terminal....(ramblin) but you get the idea,
This is just another suggestion as I don't see it was one used yet.
BTW, I'm only a newbie, so don't ask me how you'd do it, cuz I'm still
learning the art of PHP yet. ;) I can log ips into a database though, so it
shouldn't be that hard to pull them out and confirm that $newIp==$loggedIp.
If you coupled this idea some of the other expiration techniques mentioned
you could have one hell of a login monitoring system. Best of luck in your
solution.
David

this works too:
$message =
$_POST['first_name']." ".$_POST['last_name']."\n".
$_POST['address']."\n".
$_POST['city']." ".$_POST['state']." "$_POST['zip']."\n".
$_POST['country']."\n".
$_POST['email']."\n".
$_POST['design']."\n".
$_POST['comments'];

Hi,
I have many textfields on my page. How can I add to a string the name of a
textfield that ends in the same number as another textfield i.e. 5?
Thanks for your help.
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Taking into account your earlier post:
$string = '';
foreach ( array_keys($_POST) as $var ) {
if ( !is_empty($_POST[$var]) ) {
string .= $var.' ';
}
}
trim($string);

Hi,
I am a bit of a newby in php, so I hope the group my forgive me, if I ask a
question answered before.
The presumtion: php is first evaluating the complete script, before sending
anything back to the browser.
The situation: I have got a script, which retrieves data very slowly, and
causes the browser to timeout (worst case).
Is it possible, to send the elements, so far outputed, to the browser, and
use that as keep alive, i.e. give the user already something to see:-)
And, of course, do that regular, out of my data retrieval loop.
Thanks,
Roland

hi
this code
cant print the value
<?
session_start();
$name = $_POST['name'];
session_register('name');
echo $_SESSION['name'];
?>
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
The value isn't available until the next page and you should register
with
$_SESSION["name"]=$_POST["name"];

Hi everyone,
Some time back I had no idea about sessions and I asked this list to give me
a few links on the web where i can learn about them, thanks to you guys I
understand sessions and use them without any problem.
Now I have the same problem with cookies, I of course first went to our
friend (google) and asked him about cookies in PHP, the problem is I got a
hell of a lot of answers from him....which one is good? I am a total newbie
when it comes to cookies so can you recomend any one (or two) URL/s which
gives a step by step totural on using cookies in PHP? hopefully in baby
steps if cookies are too complicated.
Thanks,
-Ryan
