Thank you People. Someone mentioned the problem.
It is the starting PHP tag.
I never never thought my config.php might have problem. I have used
this config.php for almost 6 years and never had problem (the first
time I have forgotten to add it 6 years ago because I had migrated
from ASP. I have copied this wrong config.php to some other projects.
Throughout the years I have upgraded PHP and Apache (on windows and
Linux) and I have never had this problem.
It's strange that how PHP has never had problem with it and finally
now it has found the problem! I am now doing J2EE for 3 years and this
bug caught me finally. (I think I need to update a few delivered
projects before they come up with the problem)
Thank you again.

Hi Mac,
You don't need to sacrifice your coding practices if your apache
installation allows .htaccess files.
Try the following in an .htaccess file:
php_flag short_open_tag on
That will allow you to have ? as the starting tag for PHP code and will
allow for ?=$myvar? instead of ?php echo $myvar ?
Regards,
Rob

Have you ever migrated from PHP 4.x to PHP 5.x? This is a major upgrade
so you should expect things to stop working. Using the long version of
the open tags (ie ?php ) has been best practice for a long time.

I had the same problem last week.
Turned out there was another 'config.php' in the include_path (in my case
the pear folder).
Can you rename the config.php file and things work?
If so, then look in your include_path and see if there is a config.php file
there as well.

warning.
Any ideas? Thanks,

Re: [PHP] sprintf() oddness
The 4th significant digit in both cases is '5' but in the first case, it's rounded down but in the second case it is rounded up. Is sprintf() basing it's decision on the value of the 3rd significant digit? If so, why? Shouldn't rounding decisions be based on subsequent digits and not preceding ones? Actually, it's more accurate to use the preceding digit to determine rounding. What you describe is if even then round down else round up. That's more accurate than always rounding up or always rounding down. Please follow: When the digit is zero, no rounding takes place. When the digit is 1 - 4, round down. When the digit is 6 - 9, round up. Ok, I understand what's gong on but still not why. Fine up to there -- but, if you always round up or down for 5, then you are introducing bias. Fair point except... So, if you use the even/odd value of the preceding digit to determine which way to round for 5, then it's more accurate. My rounding method doesn't always win against php's round(), but it wins more times than not. Plus, it takes a lot of rounding to introduce the bias I found and thus for most applications using the round() function (always round down) will suffice. ...consider the following example: script language=php echo 'h3sprintf() test:brbr'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.20375000 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.20375000 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.17318750 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.17318750 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.15485000 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.15485000 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.1525 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.1525 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.12962500 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.12962500 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.1159 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.1159 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.1575 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.1575 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.13387500 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.13387500 ) . 'br'; echo 'sprintf( %.03f, 0.1197 ) = ' . sprintf( '%.03f', 0.1197 ) .

'brbr'; /script Why is the behavior of round() different to that of sprintf()? Both are rounding numbers. I'll grant you that sprintf() has more utility and does more things than round() but when you are dealing with numbers (and more specifically, when you've used a numeric type specifier in the format argument), sprintf() is doing the same type of thing to the value -- rounding. So why are they doing it differently? Is that a bug? I'm reticent to say that but it doesn't make sense to me that they would behave differently. If the general rule is to round up for 5s when preceeding is odd and round down when even, that's not occuring here when using round(). thnx, Christoph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] checkbox unchecked
I have now tried to add many of the security hints on a web page and
come to a problem.
I am checking if the allowed fields match the sent fields.
From the database I get the information if a checkbox is checked or not:
?php if($DB_a ==y) {
$checked=checked;
} else {
$checked=;
}
?
input type=checkbox name=R_a value=y ?php echo $checked ?
If the user takes out the checkmark the value will become and the
field will not submitted which results in a missing field.
$allowed = array();
$allowed[]='form';
$allowed[]='R_a';
$allowed[]='R_b';
$sent = $array_keys($_POST);
if($allowed == $sent) {
... do some checking ...
} else {
echo Expected input fields do not match!;
}
break;
How can I force a n for not checked in the input field? or how can I
solve that?
bye

Re: [PHP] checkbox unchecked
First of all, using y and n for boolean values (such as a checkbox) is
very sloppy. n is boolean True. A boolean value should evaluate correctly
in a boolean context. For that, you should use 1 and 0 for your values.
What I usually do is this:
input type=hidden name=foo value=0 /
input type=checkbox name=foo value=1 ?php echo $checked; ? /
Then when it gets submitted, foo will get the value of the form element that
was submitted last that has a value. That is, if the checkbox is checked
then foo will be 1, otherwise it will be 0. That gives you a nice, clean
boolean value you can rely on being present (mostly g).

Re: [PHP] checkbox unchecked
I did once, if I remember once, this strategy:
input type=hidden name=R_a value=n
input type=checkbox name=R_a value=y ?php echo $checked ?
If checked, you will have value y. Though, if unchecked, or it was
checked and visitor unchecked, the value should be n.

Re: [PHP] checkbox unchecked
Just to add my two cents -
I don't think it matters much what tokens you use to represent true
or false, since you're going to be explicitly checking them on the
server end anyway. I can't see much difference in principle between,
for example:
if ($_GET['foo'] == 'y')...
and
if ($_GET['foo'] == '1')...
or even
if ($_GET['foo'] == 'Oui')...
One should really not do be doing just
if ($_GET['foo'])
anyway. Checking that a specific value is passed, rather than just
some value that PHP evaluates to true or false, is one way to catch
possible form hacking. For general reference, there are a number of
php security howtos out there on how to sanitize user input, but I'll
leave finding them as an 'excercize for the reader' at the moment. I
suppose using 0/1 does have the advantage of 'doing the right thing'
if a if ($_GET['foo']) creeps into your code, though. As would
using 'Y'/''.
That being said, I've used 0/1 along with y/n in the past; it depends
on whether I'm thinking like a programmer or a human ;)

Not that you said otherwise, but if the programmer does not set the
value for a checkbox, html will provide values -- that may lead to
confusion for newer programmers.
See here:
http://webbytedd.com//checkbox/
If you will note, without specifically setting the value, html will
return on.
Also, I'm sure it's an oversight, but your code above should be:
?php if ($foo) echo('checked'); ?
