RE: [PHP] back and forward through a result query
Hi Petre
Why not use LIMIT in your query? Like this:
?php
//open database connection
//make query
If(!isSet($_GET['entry']) {
$_GET['entry']=0;
}
$sql_query=SELECT id,row1,row2,row3 FROM table WHERE
something='$whatever' ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT $_GET['entry'], 10;
$sql_id = mysql_query($sql_query,$link) or die(error in query);
$prev = $_GET['entry']-10;
$next = $_GET['entry']+10;
for ($i=0;$imysql_num_rows($sql_id);$i++)
{
//Get all entries from database
$sql = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_id);
//do whatever here
echo td.$sql['id']./td;
}
//navigation
Echo
.($prev=0?a href=\$PHP_SELF?entry=$prev\ class=\nav\Previous
page/a:). .($total_count=$next+1?a
href=\$PHP_SELF?entry=$next\ class=\nav\Next page/a:).;
?
I hope this helps you.

Onderwerp: [PHP] back and forward through a result query
Hi
I need to do the following, and have a slight idea of how to
do it, but I'm not sure...
I want to do a select id from table where something =
whatever , then I will display all the hits from that
query as links to a display page, sending along the id's of the row.
On that next page, I will use that id to retrieve the
relevant data to display for that specific record, but, I
want to have a previous|next function, that will display the
relevant data of the previous or next record as was displayed
on the original page that showed the list of hits. So I
*think* I should create an array containing all the id's of
that query, and send it along with the clickthrough to the
display page and then from there use the array functions
next and prev to get the id's directly adjacent to the
one I currently have, but I'm not sure if this is the best
way to do it, for one, I don't know how to put those id's
into an array from the original query, and two, don't know
how to tell it to get prev of current id from array or get
next of current id from array. And I think it might be a bit
of an unnecessary overhead to send that entire array via GET
to the display page if you are only ever going to use 2
values from it, so It would make much more sense to me to
pass the current id, the next id and the previous id for each
hit along to the display page.
Any ideas on how I could do that?
Thanks

[PHP] Re: Cleaning pasted Word text
You might look at the htmlentities() function...
On Tue, 29 Oct 2002, a.h.s. boy wrote:
I'm working on a PHP-based CMS that allows users to post lengthy
article texts by submitting through a form. The short version of my
quandary is this: How can I create a conversion routine that reliably
substitutes HTML-acceptable output for high-ASCII characters pasted
into the form (from a variety of operating systems)?
The longer version is this:
In order to prevent scripting vulnerabilities and a variety of other
undesirable content, I run the body of the text through a cleantext()
function. This function first strips out illegal HTML tags and
JavaScript. So far so good.
Then it attempts to perform some character conversions to clean up
8-bit ASCII characters in the text, so smart quotes, en- and em-dashes,
ellipses, etc. are converted to suitable alternative, or to HTML
entities. I'm using:
// Reference:
// chr(133) = ellipsis
// chr(145) = left curly single quote
// chr(146) = right curly single quote (apostrophe)
// chr(147) = left curly double quote
// chr(148) = right curly double quote
// chr(149) = bullet
// chr(150) = en dash
// chr(151) = em dash
// chr(153) = trademark
// chr(160) = non-breaking space
// chr(161) = inverted exclamation mark
// chr(169) = copyright symbol
// chr(171) = left guillemet
// chr(173) = soft hyphen
// chr(174) = registered trademark
// chr(187) = right guillemet
// chr(188) = 1/4 fraction
// chr(189) = 1/2 fraction
// chr(190) = 3/4 fraction
// chr(191) = inverted question mark
$changearr = array( = ,
\r=\n,
\r\n=\n,
\n\n\n = \n\n,
chr(133)=...,
chr(145)=',
chr(146)=',
chr(147)=\,
chr(148)=\,
chr(149)=*,
chr(150)=-,
chr(151)=--,
chr(153)=(TM),
chr(160)=nbsp;,
chr(161)=iexcl;,
chr(169)=copy;,
chr(171)=laquo;,
chr(173)=-,
chr(174)=(R),
chr(187)=raquo;,
chr(188)=1/4,
chr(189)=1/2,
chr(190)=3/4,
chr(191)=iquest;);
$returnstr = strtr($returnstr,$changearr);
The server's on a Linux box (RedHat 7.2, standard US installation);
users can obviously post from any sort of operating system.
This routine seems to work well on Word text pasted in from my Mac (OS
X 10.2.1), but I see a number of articles appearing on the site with
text like:
Wouldnâ(TM)t you say?
(That's Wouldn[a circumflex][Euro symbol](TM)t instead of Wouldn't.
...which was almost definitely pasted in from a Windows-based Microsoft
Word, and the conversion routines are failing. (And inserting even
weirder characters...why would the single quote be replace by _3_
character substitutions?)
I understand that Windows may well use a different character set for
high-ASCII, but I frankly don't understand how to work that knowledge
into this situation. And the combination of original text, Linux ,
chr(), and ord() stuff just doesn't make sense to me. For example, if I
post text (from my Mac) containing only:
(that's
[open-double-quote][close-double-quote][open-single-quote][close-
single-quote][ellipsis])
and have PHP run this:
for ($x = 0; $x strlen($str); $x++) {
$mailstr .= $str[$x].' is '.ord($str[$x]).\n;
}
mail('me','Characters',$mailstr);
I get mail that says (in parentheses is a description of the character):
ì is 147 (accent-grave-i)
î is 148 (circumflex-i)
ë is 145 (umlaut-e)
í is 146 (accent-acute-i)
Ö is 133 (umlaut capital o)
...which means that recognizes the correct ASCII value (147) of a
double-quote, though my Linux box seems to think that the character is
a lowercase i with a grave accent on it. With this kind of strange
sub-conversion going on, I'm not all that surprised that things are
getting mucked up.
Is there some way of getting pasted Word text from Windows clean in
this manner, as well as accommodating the already-working-right Mac
Word text?
Cheers,
spud.

Re: [PHP] Cleaning pasted Word text
I think you have posted before and probably didn't get an answer. I'm not going to give you an answer (because I don't have one), but perhaps I can point you in the right direction. Look at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html and see if that helps you. Below is a paragraph I pulled from it. The document character set, however, does not suffice to allow user agents to correctly interpret HTML documents as they are typically exchanged -- encoded as a sequence of bytes in a file or during a network transmission. User agents must also know the specific character encoding that was used to transform the document character stream into a byte stream.

Wrong syntax, and more code than needed. Your code would always resolve

If all you want to know is if the URL contains a http, then...

$action = this action;

[PHP] form arrays not populating $_POST
I'm having a problem where $_POST is being populated with the values of a
set of checkboxes after moving the script to a new server. The checkbox
values appear in the raw post data, the proper number of indexes are
created, but the data does't make it into the superglobal.
The form similar to the following:
form action=?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ? method=post
input type=hidden name=test value=Hello
input type=checkbox name=some_var[] value=1 1
input type=checkbox name=some_var[] value=2 2
input type=checkbox name=some_var[] value=3 3
input type=submit name=submit value=submit
/form
The php to check it:
?php
if(isset($_POST['some_var'])){
echo pre;
echo $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'].\n\n;
print_r($_POST);
echo /pre;
}
?
Checking checkbox 1 and 2 and submitting results in the following:
test=Hellosome_var%5B%5D=1some_var%5B%5D=2submit=submit
Array
(
[test] = Hello
[some_var] = Array
(
[0] =
[1] =
)
[submit] = submit
)
This is running under php 4.2.3 on apache 1.3.20. The script was working
fine on the previous server (same php and apache version). The only
oddity is that the script utilizes phplib (some_var is registered as a
phplib session var), but I'm performing the print_r before any phplib
files are included.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
Thanks,
mh.

Re: [PHP] Cleaning pasted Word text
Brent -- Thanks for the pointer, but it doesn't really address the problem. I am specifying the character set for the page (ISO-8859-1), and I'm inserting an ACCEPT-CHARSET parameter into the FORM element, but it specifies acceptable charsets as UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, and Windows 1252. The problem isn't accepting or displaying the characters correctly, the problem is figuring out what characters PHP thinks it's looking at! After further investigation, I find that ISO-8859-1 doesn't even use ASCII codes 128-159, so when a user types in a smart quote, it can't _really_ be using Latin 1 (but could be Windows Latin 1). Oddly enough, I've set the page charset to ISO-8859-1 (which doesn't have a smart quote), and my browser is set to Use character set specified by server, and it displays a smart quote just fine with chr(147). If I manually change my browser to use Latin 1, it displays a ? (unknown character symbol). So between browsers, character sets, meta tags, and operating systems, I'm beginning to think that interpreting high-ASCII input is an art rather than a science... spud.

[PHP] ODBC connectivity
I have developed a PHP application that accesses a Microsoft Access database through ODBC. The application works well using PHP version 4.1. I have recently installed the newest version of PHP (4.2.3) on another machine running NT4, and IIS 4. Again, I am using an ODBC connection, and have given this connection the same name, login, and password as is present in my PHP files. While the PHP module is running fine, I cannot retrieve records from the database, probably indicating a problem with my connectivity to the ODBC. Again, I have made the same settings in the new ODBC entry as is present on the development machine. Could there be a version problem with the PHP module? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Subject: [PHP] form arrays not populating $_POST
I'm having a problem where $_POST is being populated with the values of a
set of checkboxes after moving the script to a new server. The checkbox
values appear in the raw post data, the proper number of indexes are
created, but the data does't make it into the superglobal.
The form similar to the following:
form action=?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ? method=post
input type=hidden name=test value=Hello
input type=checkbox name=some_var[] value=1 1
input type=checkbox name=some_var[] value=2 2
input type=checkbox name=some_var[] value=3 3
input type=submit name=submit value=submit
/form
The php to check it:
?php
if(isset($_POST['some_var'])){
echo pre;
echo $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'].\n\n;
print_r($_POST);
echo /pre;
}
?
Checking checkbox 1 and 2 and submitting results in the following:
test=Hellosome_var%5B%5D=1some_var%5B%5D=2submit=submit
Array
(
[test] = Hello
[some_var] = Array
(
[0] =
[1] =
)
[submit] = submit
)
This is running under php 4.2.3 on apache 1.3.20. The script was working
fine on the previous server (same php and apache version). The only
oddity is that the script utilizes phplib (some_var is registered as a
phplib session var), but I'm performing the print_r before any phplib
files are included.
Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] form arrays not populating $_POST
Like I said, it works fine on any other server. I was wondering if it
could be a configuration issue.
I believe $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'] is not populated by default by a
setting in php.ini. I turned it on to verify that the browser was
actually transmitting the data which was missing from the array.

[PHP] File Upload Problem
Hi All I'll start by saying that I've checked the online manual (and comments) as well as having done a Google search on this with no success. My problem is that files uploaded through a form are increasing in size. For example, I upload an image that is 7658 bytes and the uploaded version is 7685 bytes, or upload 11106 bytes and it's 11133 bytes when uploaded. Images uploaded through my form are broken in the process and no longer display. This is only happening on my production server (RH Linux-based). My development environment is Win XP with Apache and PHP and the exact same code works perfectly. I've checked through /etc/php.ini for anything related without success. I use move_uploaded_file() to handle the uploaded file once it's on the server. Can anyone suggest where else I should be looking to resolve this?

RE: [PHP] MySQL and images
There are times, especially in highly dynamic situations, where backing up and restoring of images and metadata from a database or for security reasons, where storing the images within a database makes real sense. Separating the physical storage areas for the two types of data (metadata images) and keeping the image data from being buffered into the database server's memory space can make storage within the database almost as efficient as file storage.

Re: [PHP] Cleaning pasted Word text
Errr...I'm not sure how this is applicable to my situation. I'm
concerned, above all, with converting
curly double quotes
curly single quotes
em and en dashes
inverted exclamation points
inverted question marks
ellipses
non-breaking spaces
registered trademark symbols
bullets
left and right guillemets
Many of these characters do not exist in the ISO Latin 1 character set,
but can nonetheless be inserted by a browser which defaults to MacRoman
or Windows Latin 1 (1252) character sets.
The big questions, I suppose, are:
1) What character/ASCII code does PHP interpret (left curly quote)
as, when pasted into a form?
2) Does it interpret it the same way pasted in on a Mac as on a Windows
box?
3) What influence does the page charset meta tag have on such a
submission?
4) What influence does the form ACCEPT-CHARSET parameter have?
5) What influence does the browser encoding setting have on such
submissions?
and finally,
6) If all of these factors can influence the final interpretation of a
character, what's the best way to approach handling all possible
combinations?
All of this would be s much easier if I'd just get my hands on a
Windows box for testing. Guess I'll have to do that. I'm just a bit
surprised that no one seems to have tackled this problem already...it
can't be that uncommon.
Then again, I've seen any number of CMS-driven web sites that obviously
haven't this sort of conversion, including large news corporation
sites. And given the paucity of Mac-friendly programming on the web,
it's not too surprising that so few sites attempt to accommodate Mac
users. (Testing for Mac compatibility tends to be on par with testing
for Netscape 3.0 compatibility...not usually a very high priority,
despite IE 5 for the Mac supposedly being more standards-compliant than
the Windows version.)

Re: [PHP] headers and cookies
This is not correct. Both the setcookie() and header() functions manipulate the HTTP headers in the response. You cannot have output prior to any function that manipulates headers - that's the limitation. These two functions work fine together in any order; it's prior output that will cause an error.

[PHP] Decimal Places
Hay guys, I have two variables ( integers ) that are being minused one from the other and i am printing the result to the screen but i am getting unwanted decimals. print ($eall - $sall) / 1000; My question is what is the easiest way to strip decimals off the above result. The only way i know around it is if i piped the above statement into another varible and set that variable to an integer then printed that. I dont really want to do this as i will end up with 50 extra variables. Thanks in advance for your comments.

[PHP] Upload images to server other than web server?
This topic may have been covered before, but I couldn't find any info on it. We have a Cobalt RaQ4 that serves up all our intranet sites, a couple of which will have forms for uploading files that are related to records stored in a DB. I'm not planning on storing the files in the DB, don't worry. :) However, the files themselves will not be stored on the RaQ, but a different file server on the network which has substantial space for files. What is the best way to go about this? Have the file uploaded to a temp. location on the RaQ and FTP it to its final destination? Or is there a way to automatically redirect the file? I've considered NFS for this, but I'm unsure if the RaQ has tools for mounting NFS shares. Ideas/comments welcome.

Re: Fw: [PHP] Re: headers and cookies
There is no such restriction of cookies. I think what the manual meant to say was that cookies must be sent prior to any output, which is the same restriction any other header has that you wish to set with the header() function, for example. I have forwarded this along to the documentation team. Thanks for pointing it out. Chris Kevin Stone wrote: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php And I quote, setcookie() defines a cookie to be sent along with the rest of the header information. Cookies must be sent before any other headers are sent (this is a restriction of cookies, not PHP).; If you absolutely must set cookies after you set other headers then use Output Buffering. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php -Kevin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Form variables vs Sessions
I am having a problem with a form system that I am developing. It is a multi page form with over a hundred different possible variables. The problem that I'm having is that when a user enters invalid data on one page and then submits to the next page I want that page to go back to the previous page with the form fields already filled in. Currently I have the form going to the previous page with a custom error message, but am having a problem with getting the fields filled in. I pass the variables from page to page by using PHP to convert them to hidden form fields. I have considered using sessions but am concerned with the high overhead due to the number of variables. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
Re: [PHP] Form variables vs Sessions
Follow your instincts and do some research into sessions. I've put enormous amounts of data into sessions before on high-traffic sites without much trouble. You need to have the memory for it, of course, but it takes a lot of form data to equate to any significant amount. Chances are you'll be just fine. Also, consider that the more data you have in the session, the less data you're passing along in every single request and every single response. You might notice some significant performance improvements. Chris John W wrote: I am having a problem with a form system that I am developing.

What are the chances that the problem is with the php-installation? ( I

to remove errors during make )
I tried using echo($_GET['$textbox']) instead of printf statement in
hello.php..
I tried to snip the above to keep only the necessary.
I think you might try using some existing scripts that you know work
and then understand why they work. Keep the orginals, make some changes
and if something breaks you have the original and you can probably see
what you did to break it. This is what I usually do with a new language
and only later, sometimes, do I begin to understand the why. I'm
learning assembly now and the author tells me I cannot do this with
assembly :), I'll see.
Couple of things:
Perhaps it's a case of globals being off so $textbox doesn't (thank
goodness) spring into existence.
See the php site:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php
A VERY helpful site.
Check your php.ini file. Run phpinfo() in a script and you'll see the
location of your ini file and whether globals are turned on or off.
You Use POST in the form but then use $_GET, that should seem odd to
you. You also use $_GET['$textbox'] when it should have used
$_POST['textbox'], I think, I never use this method, check the php.net
site, you can download the documentation..
I personally have a simple function where I put all my user input an
array and it matters not whether post or get is used.
Here is another example of your hello.html and hello.php. I also
highly, highly recommend you look at using Smarty as a templating
system. As far as PHP uses OO I suggest you use it (I personally find
OO type apps much easier to debug than stream of consciousness types,
even my own);
hell.html (I apologize for not improving the html)
HTML
HEAD
/HEAD
BODY
FORM ACTION=hello.php METHOD=POST
Benter your name:/B
INPUT TYPE=TEXTAREA NAME=textbox
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
hello.php
?
$input = ProcessFormData($GLOBALS);
function ProcessFormData($GLOBAL_INPUT) {
$FormVariables = array();
$input = $GLOBAL_INPUT['HTTP_GET_VARS'] ?
$GLOBAL_INPUT['HTTP_GET_VARS'] : $GLOBAL_INPUT['HTTP_POST_VARS'];
foreach($input as $Key=$Value) {
if(is_array($Value)) {
foreach($Value as $SubKey=$SubValue) {
$FormVariables[$Key][$SubKey] = $SubValue;
}
}else {
$FormVariables[$Key] = $Value;
}
} # End of foreach
return $FormVariables;
} # End ProcessFormData
?
HTML
HEADtitleHello ? echo $input['textbox']; ?/title/HEAD
BODY
?php
printf(BRhello %s!,$textbox);
print pre;
print_r($input);
print /pre;
?
/BODY
/HTML

Of course I'd put the ProcessFormData in some included file, not in a
php file as such.

[PHP] Re: Form variables vs Sessions
Apologies if I'm being too simplistic here, but make sure that your first page's form elements have something similar to: input type=text name=username value=? echo $username; ? And of course.. that your POST data is being grabbed accordingly by the first page to be able to set those variables. Maybe this helped? -Jason John W wrote: I am having a problem with a form system that I am developing. It is a multi page form with over a hundred different possible variables.
