Probably the best way to tackle this is to store the info in a table
as it looks like it is decided by rules, committee and the Queen

WTF? isnt this the second time today this has appeared on the list?
Dude, other than the people in the UK nobody cares about
UK bank holidays...search google for this query and maybe someone from
there has written something for it..or read the manual a couple of times and
you'll see that the bottom question is a real dumb one.
Ryan: Well, that's not a very nice way to treat someone on the list,
even if it was the second time you'd seen the question in the same day
or even if it was a question that is obviously in the manual. Some
people are just at different proficiencies in their learning process and
don't yet know to go to the manual for certain questions. If we treated
every newbie like this, then we wouldn't have people coding in PHP!
Shaun: Consequently, the question was a valid one that the manual could
not answer, and the short answer is, "no." PHP does not have an
intrensic way of telling on what dates UK banking holidays fall (mainly
because not everyone coding PHP lives in the UK). You will need to
write your own function for this. The easiest way would be to just look
at a calendar for several years in advance and just plug all the dates
into an array and test the array to see if today's day is in there. If
it is, then today is a banking holiday.
Hope that helps.

Hi _uncle_ Ben,
I have nothing against newbies or newbie questions even though I may read
questions like which is the
best shopping cart, best PHP IDE etc 3+ times in a month, or why
register_globals are better off or why
"this code does not work" when its just a semicolon missing...although I
must say the most frequient seems
to be then ones where people write to the list without even trying to do a
single word search on google.
I too was a newbie and compared to some
guys on the list I still most certainly am. But when you write a question
that does not get answered the first
time round...then retry a bit later is just downright irritating. If the guy
wrote some code a bit later on to do
his "holiday thing" and hit a wall...I and a crapload of people here will be
most willing to lend a hand if he needed
help, theres just gotto be a limit. If the guy thought that the first
message didnt get through then its cool...but by
the 2 in the subject.....COME ON for petes sake.
Anyway, you have your view on this so..
Cheers,
-Ryan

Hi All,
Thank you for your replies. To be perfectly honest I wanted to make my post
look like a repost because the first reply I got seemed rather flippant to
me:
[snip]
Can PHP recognise dates that are UK Bank Holidays?
[/snip]
Yes http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
I didn't want to start a posting war - ironic now I know - so I just started
a new thread.
Ryan, I may be getting out of my league here, but if the makers of PHP
didn't care about us here in the UK then why was this function created:
gmmktime();
I know reposting like this is wrong but I was just trying to make a point.
Sorry guys

What has *that* got to do with UK users? The fact is that for historical
reasons all timezones are based off GMT (or UTC). Thus any kind of 'portable'
timekeeping will have to be based off UTC. For instance the mail that you're
reading will have it's Date: header expressed with reference to UTC. In short
having functions that help convert local time to and from UTC is a good
thing. Don't kid yourself into thinking that gmmktime() is there for UK
users' sake :-)

Which is? In most cases reposting at such a short time interval will only
annoy a lot people.

I think its fairly obvious I am not an advanced PHP programmer. That's why I
said I may be getting out of my league!
I guess the point I was trying to make was that I didn't want to continue
the previous thread.
I can see this is a contentious issue, I wont do it again :)

If you feel the need to repost, wait at least one day. This *is* an
international list and people *do* live, work and play in different
timezones.
And in any case reposting the exact same question will still annoy people no
matter what the time interval. If you do repost try to bring something new to
the table, some signs that you have been doing some work of your own whilst
waiting for a response to the earlier post.
Something like ...
I've read the manual, chapter X, section Y and haven't found an answer to my
problem;
OR:
I've googled for "abc xyz" and haven't found anything useful.
OR:
I've tried "this", "that" and "other" and I still couldn't get it to work,
because I was expecting "something" and got "something else" instead.
... would hopefully convince people that you really did try to solve the
problem on your own and only used the list as a last resort and wasn't just
sitting on your backside, twiddling your thumbs and waiting for someone to do
your work for you.

try echo'ing $_FILES['image_upload']['tmp_name'], and check if the path
exists
maybe some wrong configuration on php.ini
upload_tmp_dir ?
it is usually a good idea trying to isolate the smallest piece of code
that gives the unwanted result
makes it easier for other ppl to help, and sometimes you find out the
bug, by yourself, on the way

If you had enable error reporting and checked what errors were reported you
would probably have solved your problem already.

I don't see anywhere in your form where you have "/PATH/to/file/", what are
you referring to?
Also the following is obviously incorrect ...
switch($_FILES['HTTP_POST_FILES']['userfile']['error']){
... it should be ...
switch($_FILES['userfile']['error']){
... and you should have substituted 'userfile' with 'image_upload' as that is
what you're using in your form.
Do yourself a favour, study the example in the manual, get it working,
understand how it works, THEN modify it in small incremental steps until it
does what you want.

From my earlier post, I've had a number of people email me, on and off
list, that there isn't much in the way of an "advanced" php mailing
list. It also sounds like at least a few people are quite interested in
the possibility.
Who runs the php official mailing lists? Can we ask them to start a
php-advanced list? Give it a description like "Ready to take you coding
to the next level? Got questions about high-level PHP code? This is the
list for you." Redirect people asking questions like "What is SQL" and
"What's wrong with this code" or "How do I <insert simple task>" (which
a search in the manual would have found the function to do this) to the
php-general list. That would leave our group free to discuss meaty
things and really get somewhere.
Anybody else interested in this type of list?

This has come up many times before and I really don't think it will work.
Splitting advanced users from beginners means that there will be nobody to
answer the beginner questions which means they will get posted to the
advanced list where the people with the answers are. It is a
self-defeating separation. Having everyone in one big lump means that
both camps and all the camps in between learn from each other.
The other question is who decides what is advanced? Chances are what you
think is advanced may seem trivial to me, or vice-versa.

The only way you can run more than one list on a similar topic is if:
i) You have a clear distinction on what exactly should be discussed on which
particular list
ii) List members apply rigorous self-policing to (a) refuse to answer
off-topic posts (b) ask posters of said posts to re-post on the appropriate
list
Otherwise one of two things will probably happen:
1) The people who are experienced and are most able to question the more
"advanced" questions will be sick and tired of answering the FAQs and
"newbie" questions and may only subscribe to the "advanced" list. This means
the "newbie" list will be in the hands of newbies and thus newbies will be
asking and answering "newbie" questions.
2) The more likely case would be that because it is pretty difficult to draw
the line between "newbie" questions and "advanced" questions there will be
even more cross-posting. Witness the amount of DB-related, solely
Windows-related, and installation-related questions that appear on this list.
That is despite the fact that those issues are covered by their own lists.

The crux of the matter is who decides what are "meaty", "advanced" things? IMO
99% of so called newbie questions are answered in the manual, user comments
in the manual, FAQs, list archives, and Google. So to run a "newbie" list one
would only have to auto-post the above list of resources to the list every
few minutes, hopefully the newbies will get the idea very quickly and learn
to solve the simple problems on their own. Then they can subscribe to the
"advanced" list for discussions on problems not answered in the above list of
resources.
> Anybody else interested in this type of list?
It will only work if there is:
(a) a clear definition of "advanced" topics -- pretty difficult to define
(b) some kind of moderation
So if you can solve those two problems then yeah, maybe.

I agree totally with rusmus here, sorry but what make you so elite ? Where
here together, i'm sure you came here like myself along time ago as a newby,
do your bit and show your "advanced knowledge" by answering questions. If u
dont want anyone emailing you offlist just say so, dont get a huff about it
later ;)

It should be obvious why this will not work. And, why should this be an
issue? You are free to participate and choose what discussions you want
to be a part of (unless your delete key is broken) as well as discuss
whatever topics you want (OT), advanced, intermediate, or beginner.
SO what's your real point? Are you annoyed by questions that you think
are beneath you or what?

The simple example from http://www.php.net/pdf (hard-wired to paper.pdf)
just displayed the pdf data as a dump. I can ftp the file and it's OK. My
hard-wired version is shown below.
<?php
$len = filesize("paper.pdf");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=paper.pdf");
readfile("paper.pdf");
?>

Hi,
The most likely reason that one guy can't upload when everyone else can
is because he is behind a proxy that limits the size of post data.

Greetings.
I have an odd (to me) problem ... from most computers, the upload
code (shown, in part, below) works just fine .... but from at least
one computer, if the user uploads a small file (under 1meg), it works
properly . but if he uploads a larger file he gets either a "page not
found" (Internet Explorer) or "no data" (Netscape) error .... other
users can upload files of any size, with no problem ....
Does anyone have any ideas?
The code (though I'm not at all sure it's relevent) is below:
$customer_trimmed = eregi_replace("[^[:alnum:]\.]","",$customer) ;
$customer_shortened = substr($customer_trimmed,0,18);
$customer_trimmed = $customer_shortened;
$folder_name = $customer_trimmed . date("mdyHis");
$old_umask = umask();
mkdir('/home/upco/uploads/' . $folder_name, 0777);
//umask($old_umask);
$dest_dir = '/home/upco/uploads/' . $folder_name;

// or example I have some link:
<a href='index.php?action=people'>About people</a>
// so this function will output the content of people.txt file:
if ($action=="people"){
function output() {
$file = file("data/people.txt");
foreach($file as $value ) {
$output .= "$value<br>";
}
return $output;
}
$content = output();
}else{
error ();
}
// How can I improve this function so, that it will work automaticly with
other links (below) too.
<a href='index.php?action=industry'>Factories</a>
<a href='index.php?action=art'>Beautiful pictures</a>
<a href='index.php?action=animals'>Zoo</a>
<a href='index.php?action=contact'>Contact us</a>
P.S.
I have tried to improve If tag and the name of .txt file this way:
if ($action=="$action"){
function output() {
$file = file("data/".$action.".txt");
.. but the syntax is incorrect.
What to do?
Thanks,
Roman
