[PHP] RE: Image library
[snip] Having a large number of files in a single directory does affect performance, the degree of which depends on the filesystem. This is generally accepted wisdom for dealing with large numbers of files - but what number is considered large? Any rules of thumb, for different OpSys/file systems? [/snip] I guess the situation I have had (various OS's) and numbers of items in the file(s) (upwards of 40k items) I have never encountered a degredation in performance that could be deemed noticeable. I could perform some file retrieval analysis to see time lags, and I am sure that there would be some dependent upon the file system (and OS), not to mention hardware factors, the most significant which comes to mind is hard-drive seek times. But as yet, none noticed... You could probably find info on this if you dug around in the linux/freebsd source code... I think more important than how many files can you fit in one directory before things start to suck is the issue of that directory getting big enough (kilobyte wise) that it fills up the partition. If you put them in separate directories to start out with you can always add a new disk (fileserver, etc.) and put half of the directories on the new disk, mounted in the same place. This way your code doesn't need to change at all. -philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] problem with PostgreSQL
Just to throw my $.02 in, if you are running an RPM based linux distribution on your server (such as RedHat), edit your /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql file and look for the code in it: # Check for postmaster already running... pid=`pidof -s postmaster` if [ $pid ] then echo $Postmaster already running. else #all systems go -- remove any stale lock files rm -f /tmp/.s.PGSQL.* /dev/null echo -n $PSQL_START If you find that (its under the start section), then immidately after the echo -n $PSQL_START change the next line to: su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o -i start /dev/null 21 /dev/null Adam On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Ray Hunter wrote: Basically, That is your problem here: [Wed Aug 21 11:06:56 2002] [error] PHP Warning: pg_pconnect() unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: PQconnec tPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '127.0.0.1' and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5901'?

Re: [PHP] problem with PostgreSQL
Good call on that Adam... One thing to note is that when you call the postmaster here you are calling it with the pg_ctl command...so it is beneficial to pass the postmaster options to the pg_ctl command...like so... su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/pg_ctl -o '-i' -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start /var/log/pgsql 21 /dev/null And for debugging purposes I like to add a file to log all errors and notices...which has saved me tons of time...I am logging to /var/log/pgsql file... Also you can edit the pg_hba.conf file that is located in /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf for network and ip access...if redhat rpm installed... .: B i g D o g :. - Original Message - From: Adam Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ray Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: PHP GEN [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Richard Kurth [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 12:55 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] problem with PostgreSQL Just to throw my $.02 in, if you are running an RPM based linux distribution on your server (such as RedHat), edit your /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql file and look for the code in it: # Check for postmaster already running... pid=`pidof -s postmaster` if [ $pid ] then echo $Postmaster already running. else #all systems go -- remove any stale lock files rm -f /tmp/.s.PGSQL.* /dev/null echo -n $PSQL_START If you find that (its under the start section), then immidately after the echo -n $PSQL_START change the next line to: su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster -o -i start /dev/null 21 /dev/null Adam On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Ray Hunter wrote: Basically, That is your problem here: [Wed Aug 21 11:06:56 2002] [error] PHP Warning: pg_pconnect() unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: PQconnec tPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '127.0.0.1' and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5901'?

[PHP] Is there a better way of doing this?
Hello all,
You have been lots of help in the past, so I was wondering if you could
help me out with this, basically I just have to parse a string similar
to 4,31m) figure out if it is numeric or not, then if it is remove the
last to characters on the string (the 'm)') and change the string so
that it is 4.31. There is probably a better way of doing this but I
can't figure out how to make it better or more efficient
$tim = 3,43m);
// take into account that the last 2 characters may not
be\ 'm)' like we are expecting, and store them in a var
$last2ontime = substr($tim,strlen($tim),strlen($tim)-3);
$tim = str_replace(,,,$tim); // get rid of the , in
the time (i.e. time = 3,43 and we want it to be 343)
$tim = substr($tim,0,strlen($tim)-2);
if(is_numeric($tim)){
if($debug){
print nl2br( Time is Numeric!\n );
}
$t = substr($tim,0,strlen($tim)-2);
$te = substr($tim,strlen($tim)-2);
if($debug){
print nl2br( T = $t\nte = $te\n );
}
if(is_null($t) or $t == ){
$tim = $te[0] ..0. $te[1];
}else{
$tim = (string)$t ... (string)$te .m);
}
}else{
if($debug){
print got else!;
}
Thank You,
Mike

Re: [PHP] Calendar logic question
You know it's been done before by many the many calendar systems out there. You really just want to store the event once and you wouldn't want to even replicate the event ID out to whatever date. I would search the php class libraries and free software to see how they did it. I'm someone has done a calendar management system. Off the top of my head, you could store the event date time information like unix cron does. That should allow for quick searching on what events need to be displayed.

[PHP] executing php at shell level...
Hi folks, Having a strange problem... I've got a php script named 'phptest' with the following code: #!/usr/bin/php -q ? var_dump($argv); ? I've set the permission on the file to 755, and am executing the file by typing: ./phptest var1 var2 var3 The only output I get is NULL. No matter what I do, I can't seem to pass any variables to the script. Not just this script, either, I can't pass vars to any php script executing at the shell level. I'm running 4.03 (please, no digs about the security hole(s), long, long story...) is there anything in the php.ini file I need to change? TIA, Kelly
Re: [PHP] Is there a better way of doing this?
Hello Mike,
parse a string similar
to 4,31m) figure out if it is numeric or not, then if it is remove the
last to characters on the string (the 'm)') and change the string so
that it is 4.31. There is probably a better way of doing this but I
can't figure out how to make it better or more efficient
$tim = 3,43m);
// take into account that the last 2 characters may not
be\ 'm)' like we are expecting, and store them in a var
$last2ontime = substr($tim,strlen($tim),strlen($tim)-3);
$tim = str_replace(,,,$tim); // get rid of the , in
the time (i.e. time = 3,43 and we want it to be 343)
$tim = substr($tim,0,strlen($tim)-2);
if(is_numeric($tim)){
if($debug){
print nl2br( Time is Numeric!\n );
}
$t = substr($tim,0,strlen($tim)-2);
$te = substr($tim,strlen($tim)-2);
if($debug){
print nl2br( T = $t\nte = $te\n );
}
if(is_null($t) or $t == ){
$tim = $te[0] ..0. $te[1];
}else{
$tim = (string)$t ... (string)$te .m);
}
}else{
if($debug){
print got else!;
}
Add the following code to the above (NB think you're a } short):
$RegExIn = 3,43m);
echo brbrWith RegEx: $RegExIn;
$RegExPattern = /(\d{1,3})(,)(\d{1,3})([a-z]{1,2})(.*)/i;
echo brRegEx ~$RegExPattern~;
$bValidity = $iFound
= preg_match( $RegExPattern, $RegExIn, $aRegExOut );
if ( FALSE === $bValidity )
{
$aLocated = NULLSTRING;

echo brValue = $value;
}
Totally unsure about $last2ontime.
The RegEx has been structured fairly loosely because I'm not sure of all the
specifications for how many digits can be in the various places, etc; so
feel free to altered the repetition values (inside the curly brackets) to
suit. Of course, if the comma is missing or there is no integer value,
(etc), then the whole thing will fall apart and give you nothing (hence the
$aLocated = NULLSTRING; line which should probably be reworded/tied back to

[PHP] No variables imported on form POST
When I do an HTTP POST to a PHP application on my web server, it is not importing the
from values as variables.
For example,
?php
if ($submit == click){
echo Hello, $UserName;
}else{
echo '
htmlbody
form method=POST action=test1.php
Enter Your Name
input type=text name=Name/inputbr
input type=submit name=submit value=click/input
/form
/body/html
';
}
?
A simple example form, there is no value $submit after a POST. I eve tried making an
app that just echos $HOME and got nothing, so it seems I'm not importing any
environment variables. Can anybody point out a place to start looking for the problem?

[PHP] Background process (sending mails)
I know this issue have been discussed a lot of times but I checked a lot of archives and documents and I couldn't find any solution. What I want to do is send a lot of mails (belive me, it's not spamming) and I thought about running the process of sending mails in background (detached from the PHP script that runs it), so the page will return immediatly and the other process will continue sending the mails in the background. I didn't find any way to run a process in the background from PHP succesfully. The manual says that using system(), if the stdout is redirected to a file, it's run in background, I tryed redirecting stdout, stderr and stdin to/from files and it still waits for the termination of the process, I tryed adding at the end of the process line and it didn't work neither.

Re: [PHP] Background process (sending mails)
Simply configure your MTA to queue requests coming from PHP. Your php.ini file has the sendmail invocation line that is used by PHP's mail() function. Most MTA's out there have a sendmail-like interface and most have a way to tell it to simply queue the request and return immediately. For sendmail you tell it to queue by adding a option to the command line specified in php.ini using the -o flag. Check your sendmail docs for the actual option, but on my system my docs say: DeliveryMode=x Set the delivery mode to x. Delivery modes are `i' for interactive (synchronous) delivery, `b' for background (asynchronous) delivery, `q' for queue only - i.e., actual delivery is done the next time the queue is run, and `d' for deferred - the same as `q' except that database lookups for maps which have set the -D option (default for the host map) are avoided. Don't forget that if you just queue the mssages, you need to flush the queue every now and then. Traditionally that is done by a cron job that runs periodically and calls sendmail to flush the queue. -Rasmus On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Pupeno wrote: I know this issue have been discussed a lot of times but I checked a lot of archives and documents and I couldn't find any solution.

Re: [PHP] Background process (sending mails)
You don't need to modify sendmail's config, you simply need to modify how you are calling sendmail from PHP. Chances are the server you are on already flushes the queue occasionally. You'd need to try to figure out how often, perhaps simply by trial and error. Since you have no control over the php.ini file, and you can't set this particular ini directive using ini_set(), you will have to call sendmail manually using system(). You don't need to put it into the background since you will just be telling sendmail to queue by passing the correct flags to it, so it should be straightforward. -Rasmus On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Pupeno wrote: Rasmus Lerdorf wrote: Simply configure your MTA to queue requests coming from PHP.

Re: [PHP] Further Security Clarifications [was: Simple Security Clarifcation]
Usually the first thing you want to do here is check your error log. Most of the time, this sort of thing will be a permissions problem, as the apache server runs the PHP scripts as a user (ie you), that user needs to have the ability to execute those files. If you aren't sure, make the file owner you and give the files 777 and work backwards from there. Don't forget to check the directory permissions as well as the file permissions. From a hosting point of view, its different and a little more complicated if you have multiple users on the server, if it's just you though, it makes it a little easier. Take note of what the file permissions/ownership are befor eyou change them (in case this isn't the problem). Another simple things to check - make sure you're using the full path, ie, /var/www/secure/filename.php How are you including them? I use a require(/pathtofile/filename.php); Works for me assuming I have the right permissions.

I am setting up a web site which will be hosted on my own equipmet at home, located in Melbourne, Australia I would like some general advice on two questions. 1. What sort of permanent interconnect should I look at (Cable is not available in my area). Is DSL suitable? Are there any good providers in the area? 2. I need to set up credit card payments. Has anyone any experience with PayPal? Are there any other providers I should consider. I don't know if this is the correct list for the questions, but if not perhaps someone could point me to where I can get some advice.

[PHP] Re: Adding shadow effects to Images
If you need real shadow effects (i.e. if the image data itself should contain the shadow), you can follow the suggestion below but using GD to achieve the effect by concatenating images. If you're looking for a solution to *display* the thumbnails in the page, then this is what I would do: I'd create the shadow of a rectangle in any imaging software, with the appropriate blur size and transparency for the given situation (depending on thumbnail size and background color/pattern, respectively). Then I'd create a new layer to mask the undesired portion of the shadow (a placeholder for the actual thumbnail in effect), select it and use the selection to trim the shadow. I'd now have a mirrored L-shaped shadow mask. I would now determine where exactly do the corners end and where the continous linear parts begin (to the pixel, by deeply zooming in). Now all I'd have to do would be to trim the five areas which are different (three corners, a vertical and a horizontal patch) and I'd save those as five distinct files - and then use tables to display them around each thumbnails. The corners would be TDIMG SRC=top_right.png/TD and the vertical and horizontal ones would be TD BACKGROUND=horizontal.pngIMG SRC=spacer.gif/TD. You'll obviously have to make sure that the corner images match their width/height with the respective backgrounds.

[PHP] Session problems: Warning: write failed: Disk quota exceeded
Hi,
Recently, my php app has started to throw these warnings:
Warning: write failed: Disk quota exceeded (122) in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the
current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on
line 0
I narrowed it down to this code:
?php
session_start();
session_register('anything');
?
(A test file containing only that will throw those two warnings.)
The php version is 4.2.2. This script is running in a shared hosting
environment. My guess is that the ISP has misconfigured php, and has not
set the appropriate permissions to the /tmp directory.
Does this make sense? Or is there something that I've missed?
Thank you,
Beau

Re: [PHP] Session problems: Warning: write failed: Disk quota exceeded
G'day,
Most likely they haven't pointed it to the right place (or maybe
permissions? Doubt it would give this error for that).
Session information is usually stored in /tmp on the hosting server (and on
unix servers /tmp is actually a disk partition with a set size).
There are a lot of applications on a hosting server that might use /tmp to
store temporary files, so I suppose it is possible that something has filled
/tmp up and PHP simply can't write to it because there is no where to write
to!
Call your host is my advice.

Re: [PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
on 22/08/02 2:15 AM, Roger Lewis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Well, I originally searched for protect file downloads. I also searched protect individual files, protect files, authenticate files, and on and on. There are thousands of messages, but very few with relevant titles or content. I was giving you exact subject lines from threads, not suggested search terms. And I also advised that they were VERY recent threads. One point to consider: I have no control over the files themselves. They are being uploaded to the document directories by end users, so I do not know the file names. That's fine. There's plenty of code for file uploading, including the PHP manual which has a full example. when you move_uploaded_file(), you need to move it to the target directory of restricted download files. What I am trying to do is prevent someone who knows the path to the file from being able to gain access to it without authorization. I understand what you're trying to achieve, and it IS asked on here weekly. Sign, again, here's the components you need: 1. an authorisation/session/user system of some form, based on PHP... in other words, I login via a PHP script, and then I walk around your site as a validated user. 2. a file storage method which enables you to store files in your disc hierarchy, but does not allow the files to be DIRECTLY served via HTTP. the two methods for this are: a) store your files ABOVE your web document root b) store your files within (below) your document root, and prevent them from being served by the use of a htaccess file. for this, place a file named .htaccess in the directory you want to protect (eg mydocroot/mp3/) with something like this in it: Files ~ \.inc$ Order Allow,Deny Deny from all /Files the above code prevents all *.inc files from being served via HTTP. Changing \.inc$ to \.mp3$ would refuse serving of all MP3 files. I'm NOT an apache geek at all, but my guess is that Files ~ * Order Allow,Deny Deny from all /Files Will refuse all files within the dir you place the .htaccess file. 3. you need a script which checks for a validated user, offers a range of files that can be downloaded, then when you click on one, check your a valid users, sets the correct mime-type, and parses the file through the php script to your browser. All of this is available in the Zend article I posted: http://www.zend.com/zend/trick/tricks-august-2001.php So, now you should have everything you need.

Re: [PHP] Further Security Clarifications [was: Simple Security Clarifcation]
Thanks again Bob, First off, the site is still being debugged off-line, and part of the problem, as you suggested is my confusion over UNIX SERVER and the Apache Server. OK. Got that. What I'm trying to do: Any file that utilizes $_SESSION variables accessed through username/password validation is accessed via https. This includes the original signup screen, logins, etc. The only place for http files are static files that display non-sensitive info, and that do not require db access. If you are trying to hide scripts with important information (ie, passwords) then running a secure server will not work. They will STILL be available from the internet, just at https://mywebsite/myfilewithapassword.php. If the user is not logged in, they get an error message, and can go no further since $_SESSION['authenticate'] must match their username/password. All I'm trying to do is to provide an extra layer of security by shoving all sensitive files into the 'secure' directory, outside of the DOCUMENT_ROOT (but I have no idea what 'doc_root' in PHP is for??). From what I'm trying to accomplish, do I really need to bother setting the 'secure' directory outside of the document_root? Wouldn't the setup I've done so far suffice?

Re: [PHP] webhosting - OT
You basicaly need to have the domains point to IP address within your box. This is done via a domain name server (DNS). I used to use bpc-users.org for this, but now my ISP kindly hosts xx.indent.com.au as my office server. In other words, you need someone with a DNS to point your websites to your box. You can get hosting from like US$5/month. Why bother with all this though? Justin on 22/08/02 12:42 PM, Ryan A ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hi guys, I know this is off topic but any help appreciated.

[PHP] connecting to db
Hi,
Just setting up a new db at a new domain and the connection script does
not work.
I've always been able to connect to a db using the following:
?php
// Connect to the database server
$dbcnx = mysql_connect(localhost,
username, password);
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( PUnable to connect to the .
database server at this time./P );
exit();
}
The host support suggests the following:
Root as the mysql user and localhost as the server, unless you selected remote mysql
connections from the web control panel.
BTW: I DID select remote mysql. Should I unselect it?
FMI (forgive my ignorance):
What connection script should I use?
Thanks So Much in Advance,

Re: [PHP] Image library
That was my original idea - and to take things to extremes, you might even want to recurse directories: using only a couple of recursiveness levels (1-1000/1-1000/1-1000.jpg) would ensure 1 bil. files without getting more than 1000 in any singe directory. The really nice thing about this approach is that you can start with a single level and in the unlikely event you get more than 1 mil. (you wish! :)) then you can add another in no time, with a down time of probably ten minutes. In a slightly different train of thoughts, since this approach is so flexible, I'd recommend going for 500 files per directory - that's a limit which guarantees no slowdown. (And yes, I've read Jay's argument, but I have heard so many counter-arguments throughout time that I personally prefer to stay on the safe side - it's no big deal after all). Just my 2c, obviously. Bogdan Justin French wrote: So hash them into groups of 1000 images 1-1000 1001 - 2000 2001 - 3000 etc etc, and just name the files 1.gif, 2.jpeg, etc etc Justin French on 22/08/02 12:41 AM, Scott Houseman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Hi there. So what you are suggesting is using an AUTO_INCREMENT field, possibly the image's Primary Key as an identifier for that image file., which is fine by me, but surely one should store files across directories, as 1 images in a single directory might slow down access to those images in the filesystem, or not so?

So they, exactly as Bogdan suggests, use an Accession number sequence - which can be implemented very neatly in MySQL (from PHP) as an AUTO_INCREMENT field. Regards, =dn I've seen this kind of random approach several times and I keep wondering why not counting the files instead. Yes, it may take a little longer when uploading but I personally think the safety of the approach is worth the insignificant speed sacrifice. Bogdan Scott Houseman wrote: Hi all. This confirms what I suspected. The hash algrithm: I have a directory structure: dirs 0 - f, and within each of these, the same dir structure 0 - f. When an image gets uploaded into the library, do an md5sum of the file, take the first 2 chars of that hash and there's your path. e.g $PICDBPATH.'/a/7/a7b8be10b0e69fe3decaa538f1febe84' I'm not sure what the mathematical randomness of this is, but I'm sure it's pretty random, and the chances of collision should be virtually null, the only time you should overwrite a file is if you upload the exact same file(?)

A) Store image files in a hash directory structure AND storing each file's information in a mysql table OR B) Storing image information in mysql table AND storing the image in a BLOB field in that table. From all accounts I've read on this list, a database is not usually faster than a filesystem. And for large amounts of files, like 1000's, a hash will speed it up more. The way I see it, considerations to be taken into acount: - Is it quicker/better to retrieve image from table then stream out to browser OR simply direct the browser to the file? i.e IMG SRC=/imagelib/image.php?iImageID=10 OR IMG SRC=/imagelib/5/f/10 - Will a database OR filesystem be more scalable i.e. which wil perform better when there are 1 images in the libary? Filesystem should be quicker. You need to think about how you hash the files up for the most even spread of files in each directory I guess.

RE: [PHP] How Do You Protect Individual Files
Justin, Thanks again. I've been doing some more research on .htaccess. The problem I see is that it is high maintenance, i.e. I've already got a MySQL table of users with username and password. To use .htaccess, you have to have a htpasswd file containing duplicate usernames and passwords, and this would have to be in sync with the MySQL table. I have found that there is an Apache module, mod_auth_mysql, that allows .htaccess to access a MySQL database for the information it needs. This module is available at http://www.diegonet.com/support/mod_auth_mysql.shtml. Problem is you have to install the mod and recompile Apache, I think. And I don't know how to do that yet. However, if everything works in accordance with my interpretation, you should be able to put an .htascess file into the directory you wish to protect and Mod_auth_mysql will communicate with the database to authenticate the users.

I am setting up a web site which will be hosted on my own equipmet at home, located in Melbourne, Australia I would like some general advice on two questions. 1. What sort of permanent interconnect should I look at (Cable is not available in my area). Is DSL suitable? Are there any good providers in the area? 2. I need to set up credit card payments. Has anyone any experience with PayPal? Are there any other providers I should consider. I don't know if this is the correct list for the questions, but if not perhaps someone could point me to where I can get some advice.

[PHP] Re: Passing variables between servers
Why not share a session DB across both servers?
Since your users disable cookies you'll have a url that looks
like this anyway: http://www.myPHPserver.com/index.php?sid=12345
if you wanted to maintain session state
so, when redirecting to the ASP server do:
header('location: http://www.myASPserver.com/default.asp?sid=12345')
then have default.asp open the DB that has the sessions for
the PHP server through ODBC or ADO or whatever and match the
session id pulling out the stored info for that session.

[PHP] Determining if a variable is blank.
I have a simplistic forum, and I am trying to write some code to determine
if the message box actually contains information, because if it is blank I
obviously don't want to post it to the database. The message box has the
name of 'reply'. Here is the code I'm trying to use, but its not working:
$reply2 = str_replace( ,,$reply);
if(empty($reply2)){
// echo some error message to the user that they can't post a blank message
}
else{
// post the message
}
This however didn't work for me. So I had the thought that maybe the
variable $reply2 isn't set because it is blank. So I tried this:
$reply2 = str_replace( ,,$reply);
if(empty($reply2) || !isset($reply2)){
// echo an error message
}
else{
// post the message.
}
I've tried different variations on this same idea, but somehow none of them
are working. Can anyone give me any suggestions or insight?

Re: [PHP] Determining if a variable is blank.
Use trim() instead of that str_replace and then an if(empty())

[PHP] variable variables i think...
Hi all,
Having trouble with the logic behind this.
I have a dynamic SKU, and a dynamic size_range array.
Examples:
$sku = '44044';
$size_range = array('S', 'M', 'L');
Which I use to build a pull down select box:
SELECT name=myselect
?
foreach($sizes as $k = $v)
{
echo OPTION value=\$v\$v/OPTION;
}
?
/SELECT
Note, the select's name is just a string now, not an array. Sinxe there are
many SKU's on the page, What I'd like to do is dynamically generate this
name, so that each SKU is part of an array. Eg:
$selected_size['44044'] = 'M';
$selected_size['44045'] = 'S';
$selected_size['44046'] = 'L';
etc etc
This will make processing the data HEAPS easier.
So I need to dynamically generate the SELECT's name:
SELECT name=selected_size['?=$sku?']
Easy.
BUT, since this form may be spat back out to the user if fields were left
blank, etc etc, I like to do something like:
SELECT name=myselect
?
foreach($sizes as $k = $v)
{
$myselect = $_POST['myselect'];
if($myselect == $v) { $sel = selected; } else { $sel = ; }
echo OPTION value=\{$v}\{$sel}{$v}/OPTION;
}
?
/SELECT
Which ensures that any values they did select will still be selected when
they get given the form again to make changes.
Trouble is, with a dynamically assigned SELECT name, I have no idea how to
test for an existing value.
I thought it'd be something like:
SELECT name=myselect['?=$sku?']
?
foreach($sizes as $k = $v)
{
$myselect[$sku] = $_POST['myselect'][$sku];
if($myselect[$sku] == $v) { $sel = selected; } else { $sel = ; }
echo OPTION value=\{$v}\{$sel}{$v}/OPTION;
}
?
/SELECT
But this isn't working. My guess is that I need variable variables, or some
other way of referencing the select's name.
Any ideas welcome.
