Re: [PHP] convert degrees to heading
Hi,
Alternatively, try :-
$Compass = array('West', 'North Westerly', 'North', 'North Easterly',
'East', 'South Easterly', 'South',
'South Westerly');
print $Compass[round($Degrees / 45)] . \n;
This can be expanded easily by adding 'North North West' etc. at the
relevant points in the array and changing the 45 to 22.5.
No messy horrible switches :-)

[PHP] perl regex in php and multiple escape rules
In a word: I'm looking for more detailed information about preg_replace (and other perl regex functions) than in the php manual, specifically about different escape rules interaction. In more words: PHP has it's own way of escaping strings [2] Ex \ within '' is '\' (or '\\' if at the end or before ' ) \ within is \ (or \\ if at the end or before ) So \\ can be written '\\\' or '' or \\\ or and \\\ can be written '\' or '\\' (same with ) (rule 1) Perl regex are powerfull and came with other escape rules [3] Ex regex to match... is ... \ /\\/ (newline) \n /\n/ (2 chars) \n /\\n/ (rule 2) My problem is about preg_replace function, because it's entry in the php manual [1] is not specific enough -- I mean, writing a real specification seems impossible without more details The 'pattern' argument is a string, but how does php proceed it? I guess it first uses rule1 then rule2, ie php string escape rule (for ' and \ ) then perl regex rule (via verbatim use in perlre C library?) This mean that to match \n (the 2 chars), the perl re is \\n so correct php pattern is '\\\n' or 'n' or \\\n or n. (see comment 29-Mar-2004 05:46 on [1]). Is this right? /me think using perl regex is easier in perl than in php ;-) Is it the same for the 'replacement' argument? Another comment (steven -a-t- acko dot net, 08-Feb-2004 12:45) says To make this easier, the data in a backreference with /e is run through addslashes() before being inserted in your replacement expression. Is that user right? Ok, I can try to guess answers to my questions by probing things. But that didnt tell me if my guesses are wrong, or if what I guess is exactly what php pcre functions are supposed to do (not only now with php x.y.z but in the future too). And I prefer specifications over guesses. (think about ppl using alt attribute instead of title on img html tags : they guessed wrong by not reading html spec) In other words, is there some details about escape rules in pcre php functions?

My search on google didn't help me out, the docs say that it should
work and I can remember me having used such code and got it working.
Please fella's, what am I missing?
The bottom of the strtotime() manual page where it says:
Note: The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec
1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are the
dates that correspond to the minimum and maximum values for a 32-bit
signed integer.) Additionally, not all platforms support negative
timestamps, therefore your date range may be limited to no earlier
than the Unix epoch. This means that e.g. dates prior to Jan 1, 1970
will not work on Windows, some Linux distributions, and a few other
operating systems.
A couple years ago when upgrading some web servers we found RedHat 7
had this issue, strtotime() basically didn't work and always returned
-1 on 'negative' unix timestamps. I have never used Fedora but it's
probably the same issue all over again. I know this isn't the answer
you were hoping for, but I wanted to share my experience.
so, basically my problem is confirmed to be existent - such a relieve
;) It's just that ppl I work for do want to be able to be born before
1970, cuz some are.
Mashed patatoes :@ - is there really no way to deal with this? Might
somebody have created a nice rpm of the kernel with t_*smth* set to 64
or 32 bits signed? I have full control over the server, so if i'd need
to make any changes, that is possible.

Ok I think I figured out my own problem. The speechmarks in the Form break
up the speech marks in the echo statement so I originally changed the echo
statements speechmark to a ' which worked but was informed that this was
considered bad syntax and that maybe I should add a \ in front of all
speechmarks which are not part of the echo statement.
I could still do with an example of how to put the information from the form
into the db though. As I have never done this before.

if (!isset($_GET['action']) || trim($_GET['action']) == )
{
?
form./form
?
}
else if ($_GET['action'] == 'adduser')

But the actual error is in the echo. You're having quotation marks

echo form name=\myForm\.../form;

Plenty of tutorials out there.
First of all, you're making some pretty harsh coding style errors. For
the sake of compatibility, always make sure you're quoting
non-numerical elements in an array, thus: write $_GET['action']
instead of $_GET[action]. Imagine, for example, what would happen if
you've got some field named public and you're upgrading to php5? Or
when, in php 5.4 (just saying smth), action suddenly becomes a
keyword. You're stuck then with dead code.
Good practice is also to check whether your expected array entry is
actually set. I usually do smth like:
isset($_GET['action']) or $_GET['action'] = 'thedefaultvalue';
or
if (!isset($_GET['action'])) {
$_GET['action'] = 'thedefalutvalue'];
};
(both do the same, first one is just a lot shorter).
As adviced before, whenever you have to check if a certain variable
has a certain value, and if one of them is true, none of the others
will be true (which is the case with $_GET['action'] checks, usually)
- use the
if ( /* conditions */ ) {
} elseif ( /* other conditions */ ) {
}
method, rather than all seperate if's. I once changed this in somebody
else's code and found the script running about 5 (!!) times faster,
with about 15 conditions.
For inserting into the databas, mysql_connect() and mysql_execute()
are very good options. Or, if you're able to use the PEAR::DB package
I'd advice you to use that. It's more fun to do it that way, and will
help a lot if ever you'd want to change your database server from
mysql to something else (postgres, for example). Ow, and it also helps
a lot with any quoting problem you'd come up with.

I have to write a little function to convert a direction from
degrees to a compass -type heading. 0 = West. 90 = North. E.g.:
Something like this... it'll account for 360 degrees, too. No
different that a bunch of IF statements, though...
?php
$dir = 378;
switch($dir = $dir%360)
{
case 0 = $dir $dir 90:
echo 'northeasterly';
break;
case 90 = $dir $dir 180:
echo 'southeasterly';
break;
case 180 = $dir $dir 270:
echo 'southwesterly';
break;
case 270 = $dir $dir 360:
echo 'northwesterly';
break;
}
That will actually give the wrong answer for $dir==0, since then the switch
value will equate to (bool)FALSE, which will fail to match case 0 = $dir
$dir 90 because that evaluates to (bool)TRUE in this situation. I'm
guessing you'll get 'southeasterly' as that's the first FALSE value, but
theoretically you could get any one of the other values since all the other
conditions evaluate to FALSE!
If you're using this kind of condition-matching switch statement, it's
absolutely necessary to use switch(TRUE) to make it clear exactly what's
going on; so the above should be:
$dir %= 360;
switch (TRUE)
{
etc
}
Cheers!

RE: [PHP] perl regex in php and multiple escape rules
On 14 September 2004 10:19, Christophe Chisogne wrote: I'm looking for more detailed information about preg_replace (and other perl regex functions) than in the php manual, specifically about different escape rules interaction. [] The 'pattern' argument is a string, but how does php proceed it? I guess it first uses rule1 then rule2, ie php string escape rule (for ' and \ ) then perl regex rule (via verbatim use in perlre C library?) It's really very simple: (1) PHP processes the string, doing all PHP escape substitutions, and hands the result off to the pcre library; (2) pcre applies its escapes to the received string and then performs the match. This mean that to match \n (the 2 chars), the perl re is \\n so correct php pattern is '\\\n' or 'n' or \\\n or n. (see comment 29-Mar-2004 05:46 on [1]). Is this right? Not quite, since \n is also a valid escape sequence in PHP when used in double-quoted strings; so \\\n will be escape-processed by PHP to give the two-character sequence backslash-newline, whereas n will yield the 3-character sequence backslash-backslash-n. Of course, this is probably a moot point since pcre will then interpret the backslash-n sequence in the latter into a newline, but it's as well to be aware of it anyway. In other words, is there some details about escape rules in pcre php functions? I feel much better when I can use a stable, reliable and precise API. Well, the way I usually do it is to use the reverse order of the two rules above, so: - construct your pcre regex, including any necessary pcre escapes - then run through it inserting PHP escapes; this is a lot easier if you use single-quoted PHP strings, since the only valid PHP escape sequence in that case is \', so only backslashes preceding a ' or a \ actually require doubling. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] convert degrees to heading
Very nice solution, Dave. I like simple, elegant and effective
solutions like this. I was wracking my brain yesterday to come up with
something like this, but my brain wasn't working. Hah. Good job!
I think your compass directions are a bit off though.hah. West
shouldn't be 0 degrees, it should be 270 normally (unless someone's
using a compass system that I'm not familiar with).
Here's a variation of your script that displays all 360 degrees (for
validation purposes):
$compass =
array(N,NNE,NE,NEE,E,SEE,SE,SSE,S,SSW,SW,SWW,W
,NWW,NW,NNW);
for ($degrees=0;$degrees360;$degrees++) {
$compcount = round($degrees / 22.5);
$compdir = $compass[$compcount];
echo $degrees degrees is roughly $compdir on the compassbr\n;
}
Yeah, I don't know what east of northeast is, so I just labeled it
NEE :)
Great thinking though. You still get the prize on this one.

Hi,
Alternatively, try :-

print $Compass[round($Degrees / 45)] . \n;
This can be expanded easily by adding 'North North West' etc. at the

RE: [PHP] Communicate with Outlook
Ok, so I was bored.. Attached below is a PHP script that will connect to
Outlook via COM and go through all the items in the Calendar, displaying
the appointment name, location, FROM and TO date/times (adjusting for
the weird assed MS timestamp.. Apparently # of seconds since some time
in 1970), and whether it's recurring and/or all-day.
I didn't snag the information about recurrence, but you can probably
figure it out.
Here's the MS Data Model for Outlook. Semi-helpful, although not
organized very well:

Also, excuse the sloppy coding, just wanted to see if I could do this
real quick. I have multiple mailboxes on my Outlook at work here, so I
have it cycle through all mailboxes and all folders until it finds the
right mailbox and correct calendar. There's probably a more direct way
to do this. But this doesn't really add much overhead, so if it works,
it works eh? Feel free to share any better way you might find.

RE: [PHP] Benchmarking a script
You will still get the benchmark of the functions, you just declare them
outside of your benchmarking loop so they don't get re-declared.
Pardon my syntax, I'm just going to try to demonstrate (using the
getmicrotime function from the PHP manual):
?php
Function dosomething ($somevar) {
echo $somevar;
return 1;
}
Function dosomethingelse ($somevar) {
echo $somevar;
return 1;
}
function getmicrotime()
{
list($usec, $sec) = explode( , microtime());
return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}
# Benchmark here
$time_start = getmicrotime();
For ($i=0; $i = 10; $i++) {
$retval = dosomething($i);
$retval2 = dosomethingelse($i);
}
$time_end = getmicrotime();
$time = $time_end - $time_start;
# end benchmarking
?
Every time you call dosomething and dosomethingelse, it executes the
function, it just doesn't delare it over again. So even though your
functions are declared outside of your benchmark loop, they still get
executed inside the loop, therefore you get the time needed to execute
100,000 calls of both functions (in this case).
The only thing you're not benchmarking here is the time to declare the
functions once, which is extremely minimal.
Does that clarify it a bit for you?

Hello Trevor,
I really appreciate your reply! In fact I haven't found a way
to do it
yet. I can't really do it the way you suggest cause part of
what I want
to benchmark is defining the functions. Someone suggested benching it
from Apache, but I'm not sure how to do that. Thank you very much for
taking the time to drop me an email. :)
Regards,
Cristian

[PHP] Confused overSimple PHP mySQL date question
Hi, I have checked the recent list archives and looked up various PHP functions. I know what I want should be simple but, apparently not simple enought for me. I have a mysql database that has a date field and a time field. I want users to be able to enter a date and a time in text boxes on an html form and have them end up in the database. I am having no trouble connecting to the database and running queries against the database but I cannot get the dates and times into the database. Of course I also want to search for the database for an entered date on another form. I am not having trouble with SQL statements or mysql_connect() or anything like that just taking a date as a string from a text box and getting into a DATE field in a mysql database. What obvuios thing did I miss? Note I am not using the system date or time stamp, these are entered dates.

Re: [PHP] Confused overSimple PHP mySQL date question
From: Scott Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a mysql database that has a date field and a time field. I want users to be able to enter a date and a time in text boxes on an html form and have them end up in the database. Code examples would be good here. Either way, the format for a DATE field is MMDD or '-MM-DD' and the format for a TIME field is HHMMSS or 'HH:MM:SS'. Make sure what you're trying to stick in the database is in that format. If you want to accept another format in your text fields, then you'll need to use date(), strtotime(), mktime(), explode(), etc to format it this way. You really just need one DATETIME or TIMESTAMP field, though... there's reason to keep these values in two separate fields if they are related to the same event. It'll make searching down the road easier.

Yes, this is all one system, so I sure thought that a firewall is not relevant. Thank you for saying so. I don't (should not) have the Windows XP firewall turned on; I use ZoneAlarm. This is extraneous relevance, but there is a possibility that the Windows XP firewall got turned on due to Windows XP SP2 (the latest big batch of fixes and upgrades for XP). I doubt it, though; I have checked and such. However to the extent that a firewall is not relevant, this is tnot relevant. Something that might be relevant is the possibility of some other new security feature installed by the XP SP2. If so, then many others will be encountering it in the future; SP2 was released to the public sometime in the last couple of months, probably less than a month ago. Even so, I am surprised that I am the first to say anything if that is the problem. Probably if that was a problem, other systems that were working would have been broken by SP2 and people would know that SP2 is the cause. Using that logic, it is unlikely that SP2 is the problem. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect does not connect
Sam Your problem probably does stem from the extension not being installed. You say you're using (IIRC) mySQL 4.1 This requires you to use the mysqli extension, not the mysql extension As you're on windows, it's probably just a case of uncommenting the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in your php.ini, but I'm not sure as I don't have much experience configuring PHP for windows. Anyway - as far as I can tell from what you've said, that's likely to be your problem - your timeout is occurring because the mysql extension cannot connect, not because of any firewall issues. From the manual entry on MySQL (http://www.php.net/mysql): This MySQL extension doesn't support full functionality of MySQL versions greater than 4.1.0. For that, use MySQLi. If you then look at the entry for MySQLi (http://www.php.net/mysqli), you'll see this: The mysqli extension allows you to access the functionality provided by MySQL 4.1 and above. Then this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php) about installing extension on windows should get you the rest of the way.

[PHP] OK ... WHY does this work ?????
This is some experimental code I did to try and find a way to recycle the
same query multiple times as efficient as possible. With the purpose of
efficiently comparing the results of 2 queries where the resultset from
both queries won't match in the size (in this sample test it coincidently
does, but I've tried with a variant where it doesn't, and it works just as
beautiful). Although it's nice that it actually works like intended, I'm a
little baffled to exactly WHY it works (this being why the 2 dimensional
array I build actually works like intended). I tried looking through the
manual to find how PHP build the associate arrays when no key is specified,
but came out empty. So if anyone can explain how this come to function like
intended despite immediate logic dictating it shouldn't, I'd really
appreciate it ... I hate when I get the code to work, but don't get why it
works...
This is the code (pieced together from much larger script ... that does
lots more than this in between:
?php
// global data pull of base configuration
$config_query = SELECT setting,value FROM hf_config;
$config = mysql_query($config_query) or die('Unable to get base
configurationbr'.mysql_error());
while ($config_data = mysql_fetch_array($config)) {
if ($config_data['setting'] == 'admin_level') {
$lvl_admin = $config_data['value'];
} elseif ($config_data['setting'] == 'new_member_level') {
$lvl_new = $config_data['value'];
} elseif ($config_data['setting'] == 'guest_level') {
$lvl_guest = $config_data['value'];
}
}
// load levels and build array
$level_query = SELECT levelID,levelname,description FROM hf_levels ORDER
BY `levelorder` ASC;
$levels = mysql_query($level_query);
while ($leveldata = mysql_fetch_array($levels)) {
$arrlevels[$leveldata['levelID']] = array('levelname' =
$leveldata['levelname'],
'description' = $leveldata['description']);
}
?
table
tr
td colspan=3 class=adm_titleGeneral configuration/td
/trtr
td class=adm_subtitleAdministrator level/td
td class=adm_regular?php echo($lvl_admin.' -
'.$arrlevels[$lvl_admin]['levelname']); ?/td
td/td
/trtr
td class=adm_subtitleNew member level/td
td class=adm_regular?php echo($lvl_new.' -
'.$arrlevels[$lvl_new]['levelname']); ?/td
/trtr
td class=adm_subtitleGuest level/td
td class=adm_regular?php echo($lvl_guest.' -
'.$arrlevels[$lvl_guest]['levelname']); ?/td
/tr
/table
The query results look like this:
mysql SELECT setting,value FROM hf_config;
+--+---+
| setting | value |
+--+---+
| admin_level | 1 |
| new_member_level | 50|
| guest_level | 99|
+--+---+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql SELECT levelID,levelname,description FROM hf_levels ORDER BY
`levelorder`
ASC;
+-++---+
| levelID | levelname | description |
+-++---+
| 1 | Admin | System administrators |
| 50 | New member | new members |
| 99 | Guest | Guest users |
+-++---+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Output of the script looks like this:
General configuration
Administrator level 1 - Admin
New member level 50 - New member
Guest level 99 - Guest
Unless I misunderstand how PHP make unspecified arrays (and I probably do
since this works), when you have an array of 3 elements on the first
dimenstion like I do, and then ask for $arrlevels[$lvl_guest]['levelname'],
which in this case actually means it asks for $arrlevels[99]['levelname']
how come it pick the correct element, and not error out that element
99 don't exist ??
My only conclusion (based on the fact that this actually works) is that PHP
makes the key the same as the value if the key isn't specified. But is this
actually correct Or is there something going on that I don't know
about ???
I've got another sample, that uses the same query recycling method, but
with much, much more complex database queries, and it works just as
perfectly well
I really just wanna understand why this actually work, and how ... it can
be rather confusing to stumble across a useful functionality and solution
when you're still learning how to do the more complex things in PHP.

How about this ??? This is the one I made for this purpose
function stripAccents($string) {
$returnString = strtr($string,
'àáâãäçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöùúûüýÀÁÂÃÄÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝ',
'acnosyACNOSY');
$returnString = str_replace('æ','ae',str_replace('Æ','AE',$returnString));
$returnString = str_replace('ø','o',str_replace('Ø','O',$returnString));
$returnString = str_replace('å','a',str_replace('Å','å',$returnString));
$returnString = str_replace('ß','ss',$returnString);
$returnString = str_replace('#039;','',str_replace(','',$returnString));
$returnString = str_replace('quot;','',str_replace('','',$returnString));
return $returnString;
}
obviously there's room for improvement, but it's from a QAD script (not
production)

Unless I misunderstand how PHP make unspecified arrays (and I probably do

how come it pick the correct element, and not error out that element

My only conclusion (based on the fact that this actually works) is that PHP
makes the key the same as the value if the key isn't specified. But is this
actually correct Or is there something going on that I don't know
about ???
Yes, that is what's happening, a simple test shows this:
#!/usr/bin/php
?php
$a = array(1, 2, 3);
print_r($a);

Re: [PHP] mysql_connect does not connect
Note that there is a difference between the php_mysqli and the php_mysql extensions. I have both php_mysqli.dll and php_mysql.dll in my PHP501\ext directory, but I don't have the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in my php.ini file. Is that something that should be in the php.ini (with a ; to comment it out) file for php 5.0.1? I will try adding the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in my php.ini file later when I have time. I did not try earlier since the commented version is not in the php.ini file, either commented or uncommented. Chris Dowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sam Your problem probably does stem from the extension not being installed. You say you're using (IIRC) mySQL 4.1 This requires you to use the mysqli extension, not the mysql extension As you're on windows, it's probably just a case of uncommenting the extension=php_mysqli.dll line in your php.ini, but I'm not sure as I don't have much experience configuring PHP for windows. Anyway - as far as I can tell from what you've said, that's likely to be your problem - your timeout is occurring because the mysql extension cannot connect, not because of any firewall issues. From the manual entry on MySQL (http://www.php.net/mysql): This MySQL extension doesn't support full functionality of MySQL versions greater than 4.1.0. For that, use MySQLi. If you then look at the entry for MySQLi (http://www.php.net/mysqli), you'll see this: The mysqli extension allows you to access the functionality provided by MySQL 4.1 and above. Then this page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php) about installing extension on windows should get you the rest of the way.

[PHP] PHP to execute hyperlink?
I use an application that has a web browser engine built in and every time I open the app there is some code executing a hyperlink and pulling up a HTML page to a specific place on the page. This action changes according to if it is AM or PM and the date. Example: from 00:00 to 11:59 during the same day you will see the same starting place on the page any time this app is opened. From 12:00 to 23:59 during the same day you will see something different from the AM but it will be the same for the 12 hour time period. The next day the AM section and the PM do the same thing but on a different place on the page. Each day this behavior repeats but each day the place on the page is new. The page that is called has name anchors through out the page. It is these name anchors that are being called on the page. I said all that to ask this. I want to do the same thing using PHP script. Can this be done? I know PHP is server side script. I am not sure which date/time function to use. I assume that if else statements will be needed. I don't know how to get PHP to execute the hyperlink when the page opens. Basically the PHP code would execute something like this: Get the current date and time, find the matching name anchor that reflects the current month and day and if it is AM or PM and then display the correct place on the page. I am still learning PHP so this as been a little more than I can figure out right now. Just trying to figure out how to use all the date time functions is confusing. I do know how to use date() that one was easy to figure out. I don't know if I should be using date() or getdate() If I could figure out the start and end of the script I could probably figure this out. I think the middle with the if else statements will be easy to figure out. Every time I try to figure out these date time functions I get syntax errors. I can't figure out what the PHP manual says about these functions. Any body have any ideas?

[PHP] something like an SID
I'd like a value to be passed back from every page, if that page was originally passed that value. The two ways that I can think of it, are: 1/ Javascript with some sort of 'onSubmit()' function which causes a minimal form to be submitted via POST or GET 2/ A hidden form value, and make every action on a page be a button, which submits a form as above. If no value was received, it would know it was a first access. NO, I don't think Sessions will do it - I will use this value IN PARALELL to Sessions. NO, I don't think Cookies will do it, since I want the value to be different for each browser instance and each 'TAB' in each browser instance.

[PHP] Image question
PHP's creating an image and I'm trying to store it into MySQL. Instead of raw binary data, all I'm getting is a resource reference. To test this and keep things as simple as possible, I took and created an image with createimagefromjpeg. Here's some example code of what I'm talking about: $url = http://mysite.com/picture.jpg;; $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($url); Imagejpeg($im); // successfully displays image I'm assuming that $im contains the binary data for the picture and I'd expect to get raw binary output from: echo $im; But I don't... I get reference #22 instead. How would I go about accessing the raw data in order to store it into the database successfully? Do I need to know anything special about pulling it back out and storing it in a variable? Side note: I know that storing images in a database isn't generally optimal. I've chosen this route because performance isn't an issue and ease of tracking tens of thousands of images is important.

[PHP] Capturing an Image of a web page
Has anyone run across a tool available to PHP that can render an image of a entire webpage from a URL, so that it can be reduced to a thumbnail and stored in a database? Warren Vail
Re: [PHP] something like an SID
You make a good point, Marek. They CAN open a new window with different results. Maybe it's up to each page to keep track of where it is at, via form elements alone, instead of through session values. Hadn't thought of that, but it must be the only way. Adding and extra layer to that might end up being really confusing to programmers for my site. The values for previous forms could just be sent as hidden elements(and not kept in the session), until the whole thing is collected, then they are all qualified again. The only thing in the session would be the user's id. Marek Kilimajer wrote: Dennis Gearon wrote: I'd like a value to be passed back from every page, if that page was originally passed that value.

The query results look like this:
mysql SELECT setting,value FROM hf_config;
+--+---+
| setting | value |
+--+---+
| admin_level | 1 |
| new_member_level | 50|
| guest_level | 99|
+--+---+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql SELECT levelID,levelname,description FROM hf_levels ORDER BY
`levelorder`
ASC;
+-++---+
| levelID | levelname | description |
+-++---+
| 1 | Admin | System administrators |
| 50 | New member | new members |
| 99 | Guest | Guest users |
+-++---+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Output of the script looks like this:
General configuration
Administrator level 1 - Admin
New member level 50 - New member
Guest level 99 - Guest
Unless I misunderstand how PHP make unspecified arrays (and I probably do
since this works), when you have an array of 3 elements on the first
dimenstion like I do, and then ask for
$arrlevels[$lvl_guest]['levelname'], which in this case actually means it
asks for $arrlevels[99]['levelname'] how come it pick the correct
element, and not error out that element 99 don't exist ??
My only conclusion (based on the fact that this actually works) is that
PHP makes the key the same as the value if the key isn't specified. But is
this actually correct Or is there something going on that I don't
know about ???
I've got another sample, that uses the same query recycling method, but
with much, much more complex database queries, and it works just as
perfectly well
I really just wanna understand why this actually work, and how ... it can
be rather confusing to stumble across a useful functionality and solution
when you're still learning how to do the more complex things in PHP.
