hi dave,
i usually do this from entries in a database
but it should also work this way with an array
// first make an array holding all the cities
$myTowns = array("London","New York","HongKong","Johannesburg");
$ArrayElements = 4;
this is now creating the dropdown-box:
<select name="town">
<?
for ($i=0;$i<$ArrayElements;$i++) {
$selma="";
$tacco = $myTowns[$i];
if ($tacco == $town) { $selma = "selected";}
$item="<option value=\"$tacco\" ".$selma.">".$tacco."</option>";
echo $item;
}
?>
</select>

Add a primary key. now. Accesses without that will be painfully slow.

I've got a weird problem with 4.75 as well.
If you guys would go to http://64.177.230.204/FlowInputTable.php
and just reload it several times, you'll see that it's fine, but
enter any six numbers into the 1st 6 blocks and submit it,
when it comes back to itself and does the final redraw,
NS4.75 says the post variables are already expired. The page
refers to itself, and checks for the existence of a variable
to see if it's the first time loaded.
I've also noticed that it acts really wired when I am doing
multiple reloads of a file I am editing. It remembers the OLD
pull down menus, even after I've changed them, AND it's received
the new code and the <view source> shows the new code. This is
on MS95.

Does extract() work on multidimensional arrays? IOW, I have an array
like...
array($elem1=>array($val1,$val2),$elem2=>$val3)
...from which I'd like to extract $elem1 and $elem2. Should this be
possible with extract()? The docs just say the function takes an array as
a parameter, but don't specify whether or not the array can have more than
one dimension. Since I'm having trouble making this work, I have a feeling
the answer is no, but wanted to double-check in case it's actually my code
that's at fault.

Hi!
I want my include-files not be seen from outside AND not be executed!!!
I don't have access to a directory outside DOCUMENT_ROOT and I don't have
.htaccess!!!
I think about something like:
1.
name: <file>.inc.php
2.
add code:
if ($PHP_SELF==MY_NAME) exit;
as first line in the inluded script.
so, if the script is being included from another script, the code will be
executed - but if the file will be called directly, no code is executed!
BUT - how do I get the include-file's name?
or is it safe enough, to use something like
if (substr($SCRIPT_URL,-8)==".inc.php") exit;
thanks

Include files do not have to end with '.inc', which is purely a convention
of dubious value. If you use '.php' as the extension for included files,
they will have to be parsed by PHP and can't be read as plain text from
outside.

Hi!
as I wrote in my mail:
1.
I won't name them ".inc" but ".inc.php" (so *I* know, it's an include file)
2.
I don't even want them to be executable!!!
and therefore my question was, if this (on top of every include-file) would
be safe enough:
>> if (substr($SCRIPT_URL,-8)==".inc.php") exit;
$PHP_SELF better than $SCRIPT_URL in line above???
thanks

What are the directives for the sprintf function to format an integer with

you don't mean commas but thousands' grouping???
if you want thousands' grouping it depends on your locale setting!
--cut--
For some numeric conversion a radic character (`decimal
point') or thousands' grouping character is used. The
actual character used depends on the LC_NUMERIC part of
the locale. The POSIX locale uses `.' as radix character,
and does not have a grouping character. Thus,
printf("%'.2f", 1234567.89);
results in `1234567.89' in the POSIX locale, in
`1234567,89' in the nl_NL locale, and in `1.234.567,89' in
the da_DK locale.
--cut--

consider using number_format, for example :
$formatted_number = number_format(1250560, 2); // 1,250,560.00
$formatted_number = number_format(1250560); // 1,250,560

Hi,
does there exist a web based mailing list administrator in PHP (Tying in
with some open source mailing list software)?
Ideally, something like egroups (now groups.yahoo.com). I just want to be
able to easily administrate (or have other people administrate) mailing
lists. I have access to my own server (linux, php4, ...)
thanks!

I have a page which pulls contact information out of a database name, email
message, and displays it on a page using
mysql_fetch_array so my question is how is it possible to delete one of the
emails, the only way i can think of is to use a checkbox and a hidden field
giving the id and then place it inside a form so all ticked so that if you
tick the email and submit the form it deletes the ticked emails.
However there must be a better way, perhaps using cookies
TIA
george
One way:
Pull as much info as you need out of the db, including the email id, then
have a select box or check box if you want which sends the id of the email
you want to delete back to a 'DELETE FROM' sql statement.
No need for cookies that I can see.

Thanks Michael,
but what I plan on doing is pulling the name,subject and email
address out of the db, then giving the option to view the full message, but
i have had to do this using a form so my code looks like
<tr><form metod=post action=view_enq.php><input type=hidden name=id
value=$row[id]><td bgcolor=#ffffcc>$row[title] $row[name]</td><td
bgcolor=#ffffcc>$row[subject]</td
>";
echo
"<td bgcolor=#ffffcc>$row[email]</td><td align=center
bgcolor=#ffffcc><input type=submit name=submit value=view></td></form></
tr>";
}
echo "</table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>";
I plan to add hidden fields for all the information pulled out the db my
question is this how do you pass variables into the next page without using
a form.
can it be done say instead of a form there was a link next to each message
which said view, clicking on this takes you to a page where you read the
full mail, then there are another 2 links on for reply and one for
delete.How could that be done
Thanks in advance

Whatever you want to remember - if you start a session and register the
data to be remembered with the session, it will be available when the
browser comes back again (and presents the appropriate PHPSESSID value, of
course).

You could still use a form, but just have a very small one... something like:
<form method=post action="yourpage.html">
<input type=IMG name=REPLY value=submit><img src="ImageForReplies">
<input type=IMG name=DELETE value=submit><img src="ImageForDeletions">
</FORM>
This would then pass any variables you wanted to the next page...

Yes but it still goes to the same page,
if i give the option to delete or reply would it not need to go to different
pages one with the DELETE and the other to reply.
However I am still very much a newbie so of anyone knows better(which is a
certainy) then I would be delighted to listen..
Thanks again
george
You could make them on the same page with a PHP statement something like:
if ($Reply) {
//put your reply script here
}
elseif ($Delete) {
//put your delete script here
}
Just make sure the name and value of the input tags on the previous page
are called Reply and Delete.
Best,
-Ben

OK, sorry, I read your post in a hurry.
Something like this should work:
<A HREF="the_next_page.php?id=$row[id]">Do Something</A>
On the next page you'd have:
$sql = "Do Something WHERE id = '$id'";
By the way, you don't necessarily have to go to a different page in the
sense of a different file ... all your 'pages' can be part of the one php
script divided up like this:
if ($action == 'delete') { do delete stuff }
elseif ($action == 'full') { do full display }
else { just do the default }
In that case, the line above would be more like:
<A HREF="the_same_page.php?action=delete&id=$row[id]">Do
Something</A>
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks Ben,
and a quick answer as well.
that means I can give them an option on the main page to delete or view
the email, which is even better.
Thanks
George
I do this kind of thing all the time.
Consider using hidden for the various values you are passing, and name the
buttons "doAction" and set the values to "Add", "Delete", "View" ...
Then the php file can do:
switch($doAction) {
case "Add":
// your code
break;
case "Delete":
// your code
break;
case "View":
// your code
break;

Hi, I'm wondering if there's an ezmlm equivalent of the "lists-full"
command for majordomo. That command returns data like the
following (from the PostgreSQL list):
---
pgsql-general (no description)
Subscribers: 1217
Posts: 1589 in the last 30 days
Archive URL: ?
Digests:
daily: Daily Digest
---
actually, the lists-full command returns that data for every list
hosted at postgresql.org. I'm building some general open source
advocacy statistics, and would love to have the same data on PHP
lists...
Thanks, and best regards,
Ned Lilly
Does anyone know the practical limit to the length of a URL? Some of mine
are now 100 characters long with heaps of variables packed in, so I'm
wondering what the limits are?

--------------------[snip]--------------------
Excerpt from RFC 2616 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt), Page 18
The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of
a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they
serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they
provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server
SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer
than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15).
Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths
above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
implementations might not properly support these lengths.

it may look weird but that is the way it needs to be done. here is a better
example
$str=myfunct() this returns monday
then i want the monday to turn into this
$monday
so i can do this
$monday="BlaH";
thanks
randy

Here's my question: why do you want to do this, and is there a better way to
do this, say a hash list or something?
BTW, isn't monday defined as a constant that always equals "blah!" It
always has for me.

I've got a weird problem with 4.75 as well.
If you guys would go to http://64.177.230.204/FlowInputTable.php
and just reload it several times, you'll see that it's fine, but
enter any six numbers into the 1st 6 blocks and submit it,
when it comes back to itself and does the final redraw,
NS4.75 says the post variables are already expired. The page
refers to itself, and checks for the existence of a variable
to see if it's the first time loaded.
I've also noticed that it acts really weird when I am doing
multiple reloads of a file I am editing. It remembers the OLD
pull down menus, even after I've changed them, AND it's received
the new code and the <view source> shows the new code. This is
on MS95.

I have to get rid of any spaces on either side of the
: mark. Can anyone explain why
php 3.xx
$a="to be or not : to to be";
$b=ereg_replace(" *:",":",$b);
$b=ereg_replace(": *",":",$b);
works and
$b=ereg_replace(" *:|: *",":",$b);
does not work. I've had this problem before and ended
up using two or more statments rather than one.

I tried installing the files of the CD too, and tied myself up in knots,
although I like the general style of the book. In the end, I adopted the
path of least resistance and simply installed the SuSE rpms (although I
wouldn't recommend this on RedHat or Mandy!) and everything worked out
of the crate.
I'd advise you delete what you've installed and just grab the relevant
rpms from Mandrake or RedHat's site (or off the CD). The important thing
is not that they match the version numbers in the book correctly, but
that they are appropriate to your version of Mandrake. Be aware that the
RedHat rpm for MySQL was faulty (maybe they've fixed it now): you need
to either compile that with no dependencies (see man rpm for details) or
grab the rpm from the MySQL site.
Let us know how you get on.

******************************************************************************
my table holds these fields: userid, pid, setting, status
the pk is the pid field, and for each pid a user holds, there is a
different row to hold the user's pid's setting and status.
I am making a script t modify the setting of the user pid,
the script first generates a form, the form goes:
User has pid, (Radio Button) enable,(Radio Button) Disable, (Radio Button)
Open; Setting is Active/Inactive
the form also passes the as a hidden input. and this is repeated for each
pid that the user has,
so in effect, when submitting the form, nothing changes but the setting, but
im racking my brains trying to figure how to associate the radio button
group with the hidden pid,
as to create a form that works as
pid1 <-- Setting
pid2 <-- Setting
pid3 <-- Setting
so that i could insert them into the datbase the same way,
