Re: [PHP] Nested functions

[DL Neil]

Thanks for the confirmations Torben.


  Can one code user-defined functions nested within one another
 Yes.
  - and repeatedly execute them?
 No. ;)

 This is correct. As you know, the thing is that execution keeps running
 into that function declaration every time the containing function is
 run, tries to declare the function, and fails. Essentially: while you
 *can* do nested functions in PHP, don't. :) There really isn't any good
 reason to, anyway--except for (perhaps) a wee bit of namespace
 clarification.

Namespace clarification is exactly what I had in mind - I am post-processing the n=0, 
1, 1 results from a
preg_match_all() and figured that array_walk() would be faster than for{$i...} or 
foreach(). However learning
that array_walk() demanded use of a function, that implied that my 'modular' function 
would have to call a
(short) second to suit the command structure - thus the logic that nesting would 'keep 
things together' in
reuse/restructure situations.

[As you will appreciate, the test bed code was almost directly out of the manual, 
and was only being used so
that I could experiment/get my head around the command/and thereafter test the 
efficiency criteria]

I thought I would ask, if only because other languages, even interpreted languages, do 
cope with this
situation - but as you say, it is not a show-stopper
- a possible case for FUNCTION_once name() as per REQUIRE and INCLUDE?

Thanks again,

 Hi all, 
 I just can't see what could possibly be wrong with my php here:
 
 $sel_db=mysql_select_db(mydb) or die 
 (could not get the bugger);
 exit;
 
 I can 'USE mydb' just fine from the command line so what's the problem?
 (returns the die statement)
 
 Much thanks..

I take it that the connection worked fine? (Yeah, dumb question, but you
never know.)

What do you get if you use error checking?

if (!$dbh = mysql_connect(. . .)) {
echo Could not connect; reason was  . mysql_error() . \n;
return false;
}

if (!$sel_db = mysql_select_db('mydb', $dbh)) {
echo Could not select database '$sel_db'; reason was  .
mysql_error() . \n;
return false;
}

i.e. what do you get if you use mysql_error() after this fails?

 phenomememememememmemonmmm that when you GRANT ALL using wildcards it

It's not so much a phenomememememememmemonmmm as a deliberate design feature.

On multi-user machines and network servers it is very common to have a security layer 
allowing tasks to only/not
be performed on the 'system console'. For example, would you want a remote user to 
bring down a mainframe with
some sort of STOP command? If you were an ISP or a DB Service Provider, would you want 
one user (using only one
table, or one database) to be able to reboot the entire MySQL server (and affect all 
the other
users/user-tables/user-databases)?

Thus Fred@localhost is not the same privilege profile as Fred@somewhere-else to enable 
flexibility in
access/security - even if Fred is the only user to ever touch the system! You have 
figured out by now, that to
give Fred the same privileges on the server as from a client machine, they need to be 
GRANTed 'twice'.

Looking at it the other way, such 'security' controls can be either limited by the 
user location, or by the name
of the user, or by both!

[PHP] cookie problem

[Impex Holidays Maldives / Hasan]

Hi all,

Perhaps some one can help me.

If I send a cookie like 
setcookie(+ACI-cookie+AF8-agtpasswd+ACI-,+ACQ-form+AF8-agent+AF8-pass, time()+-1200, 
+ACI-/+ACI-)+ADs-

it does not work on the terminal which has a new version of windows 2000 and i use 
IE6. The browser does not store the cookie.

but if is use 
setcookie(+ACI-cookie+AF8-agtpasswd+ACI-,+ACQ-form+AF8-agent+AF8-pass)+ADs-
I can retrive the cookie variable.

This happens on a few terminal but for other with win 2000 it both cookie send works 
fine.

Has anyone come across this problem?
Has anyone got any suggestions. Is this a problem of the win 2000 or the browser 
setting.

thanks,
Hasan

[PHP] Creating an array with a file

Hi All,

I am trying to create an array from a text file that I will process and
rewrite in a new format.  My question is, is it possible to read the
file 
in one line at a time and then separate the tab-delimited fields and
finally rewrite the new file?

The fields are tab delimited and here is what I have attempted in code:

$lines = fopen(oldfile.txt, r);
$newfields = explode(\t, $lines);
echo $newquotes[0];

I get a Resource ID #1 when I echo the line.  

Thanks,

 That means that after a week, I'm going to have a tonne of data.

Umm ... this seems to indicate that maybe the form does change

a userid column. 

 Catch is, this form will be used every day for about 3 years.
 I'm pretty certain MySQL can handle it, but I need to know, what
 would be the best way to store this data?

There might be better ways to store the data but I don't usually

moaning that his app was slow (plain cgi/perl so I suggested 
mod_perl/fastcgi) and they just threw a hardware upgrade and all 
was well (but imho should still do mod_perl/fascgi).

 I've set up a calendar, that will take the user to a different version
 of the form every day. Accesible here:

I don't see the reason for a different version of the form for every 
day. Isn't the date the only difference?

 http://www.fernwoodwhc.com/shit/calendar.php And the form I'm talking
 about is here: http://www.fernwoodwhc.com/tech.php

Well about how you would do it. It seems that PHP is in many 
ways like the old one form, one cgi method of development. Were I 
you I would not make my connection to the database in that script. 
I'd do that in only one place. Odd how things tend to evolve and 
before you know it you have 232 scripts all using 
username/password/db/host and then you want to change that.  I'd 
look at something like metabase were I you.

[PHP] my math stinks

[Gary]

Hi All,
  This is the first time I have had to deal with math. I have gone 
through the manual and a few books and I think I am worse off then when 
I started. Can someone give me an example of the simple math below. I 
think If I see some in code I can move on from there.

I need to find out if $pa  $pb or $pb  $pa then subtract smallest from 
the largest and add $ca and then add $ps

Break the problem down:

 I need to subtract the lesser (minimum) of $pa and $pb from the 
 greater (maximum) of $pa and $pb;
 Then just add $ca and $ps.

So something like this will do it:

  $result = (max($pa, $pb) - min($pa, $pb)) + $ca + $ps;


Hope this helps,

Torben

[Michael Kimsal]

Liam Mackenzie wrote:
 Hi,
 
 I was wondering what you would do in this situation...
 
 I have a form, with 196 fields that I need entered into a database.
 But the form and it's contents need to be changed every day,
 and I need to store the old data in an archive so it can be accessed
 at a later date.
 
 That means that after a week, I'm going to have a tonne of data.
 Catch is, this form will be used every day for about 3 years.
 I'm pretty certain MySQL can handle it, but I need to know, what
 would be the best way to store this data?
 
 I've set up a calendar, that will take the user to a different version
 of the form every day.
 Accesible here:
 http://www.fernwoodwhc.com/shit/calendar.php
 And the form I'm talking about is here:
 http://www.fernwoodwhc.com/tech.php
 
 Here's a copy (minus passwords) of my form...
 I'm sure that there's a better way to do it...
 


I'm sure there is too... :)

Have you any experience with arrays?

PHP can accept data from the form in the form of an array, so you can
build your form and process it with many fewer lines than you have (and
modify things much easier).

If, for example, the club opened at 5:00 am in the future instead of 6,
you'd probably have to go change that big huge SQL statement, and add 
more lines to the code, right?  If you build with arrays, and smartly,
you can avoid much of the work you're doing.

BTW - the 'smartly' thing isn't to imply you're not smart.  I'm simply
saying there are techniques to make this stuff easier, and once you
know them, you won't go back, and you'll work faster.

I'd probably make each time/date a separate entry in a table, so each
day would have 196 entries, instead of one row having 196 columns, which
you seem to be doing.

?
$startkey = 600;
$starttime = (5 * 3600); // EDT is 5 hours behind GMT, so we get 
ourselves to midnight
$starttime = $starttime + (3600 * 6) ; // start off at 6 hours into the 
morning
$endtime = $starttime + (3600 * 18) ; // end 18 hours in the future
? table ?
while ($starttime  $endtime) {
$time = date(h:i A,$starttime);
$x = date(Hi,$starttime);
?
  tdbfont size=2?=$time;?/font/b/td
tdinput type=radio name=fs[?=$x;?] value=fw
input type=radio name=fs[?=$x;?] value=sp/td
tdinput type=text name=num[?=$x;?] size=4/td
tdinput type=text name=sur[?=$x;?] size=8/td
tdinput type=text name=giv[?=$x;?] size=8/td
td
select size=1 name=apt[?=$x;?]
option selected value=11
option value=22
option value=reRe
/select
/td
tdinput type=text name=ph[?=$x;?] size=8/td
tdinput type=checkbox name=c[?=$x;?] value=ON/td
/tr
?
$starttime = $starttime + 1800;
}
?
input type=hidden name=date value=?=$dateValueYouPassIn;?
/table

As an example, this seems more manageable to me.  the EDT is for me - 
that's my timezone.  You'd need to adjust yours to start with, but 
everything else should work OK.  You're left with arrays that will get
submitted to PHP like

$num[0600]
$sur[0600] etc.

if you did this...

?
while (list($k,$v) = each($num)) {
$n = $num[$k];
$s = $sur[$k];
$g = $giv[$k];
$a = $apt[$k];
$p = $ph[$k];
$c = $c[$k];
$f = $fs[$k];
$sql = insert into info (date,time,num,sur,giv,apt,ph,c,fs) values (;
$sql .= '$date','$k','$n','$s','$g$','$a','$p','$c','$f');
// do SQL processing here
}
?

Realize this isn't fully functioning code, but might give you a better 
idea on how to approach it.

Hope that helps...

I need to strip the XML tags out of the file.

The ? in the string ends my php block.


I know there's an easy answer to this, and I'm probably just suffering

  What do you get if you use error checking?

 Well, that seems to be it, I'm getting 'Access deneid to user
 '@localhost'.

 I'm talking to a guy on the mysql list, apparently it is a
 phenomememememememmemonmmm that when you GRANT ALL using wildcards it
 tends to grant all on * except localhost!


It's not so much a phenomememememememmemonmmm as a deliberate design feature.

On multi-user machines and network servers it is very common to have a security layer 
allowing tasks to only/not
be performed on the 'system console'. For example, would you want a remote user to 
bring down a mainframe with
some sort of STOP command? If you were an ISP or a DB Service Provider, would you want 
one user (using only one
table, or one database) to be able to reboot the entire MySQL server (and affect all 
the other
users/user-tables/user-databases)?

Thus Fred@localhost is not the same privilege profile as Fred@somewhere-else to enable 
flexibility in
access/security - even if Fred is the only user to ever touch the system! You have 
figured out by now, that to
give Fred the same privileges on the server as from a client machine, they need to be 
GRANTed 'twice'.

Looking at it the other way, such 'security' controls can be either limited by the 
user location, or by the name
of the user, or by both!

=dn

[PHP] file redirect?

[Ed Lazor]

I'm trying to figure something out and thought I'd see if you guys have any 
ideas.

The goal:  tracking the number of downloads for files on the server.

The approach:  routing file downloads through /download.php like this:
http://server/download.php?target=/myfile.zip

What I tried that worked was using javascript to launch download.php in a 
new window and use a meta tag to redirect to the file in question, like this:

print meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0; URL=$destination';

This works, but it's really slow, because it usually takes a while to open 
a new browser window.

I found another approach, but couldn't get it to work:

$content_type = Content-type:  application/zip;
header($content_type);
header(Content-disposition: filename=.$filename);
header($destination);

It seemed I got close at one point... it would open a File Save window, but 
the file would end up as 0 bytes in size.

My preference is using the second approach if I can get it working, because 
it's much faster than opening a new browser window.  Any ideas of how to 
make it work?

Thanks,

I am working on converting a site from ASP to PHP and I was wondering if
their where any built in functions to perform screen scraping.  In ASP, the
XML DOM is most commonly used to accomplish this.  I am thinking that there
should be something to get the task done in PHP but I cant even find the

Ah, didn't know you also serve remote files. In this case Philip's solution makes

upload it to the client, which is way too much fuss to worth it.

The XML DOM stuff isn't as mature in PHP yet, last I checked 
(unfortunate, because we were hoping it would have been at that point).

How complex are you trying to get?  Could you explain the goal a bit more?

That might be of use to you.  Doesn't require any libraries, and seems
a bit more documented than most other packages.

[Ben Turner]

Well not so much processing XML but rather grabbing HTML input and parsing
it for certain values.  I use this approach very heavily for inputing a DB
table with information that needs to be displayed back to the web users.

RE: [PHP] Creating an array with a file

[Scott]

I am seeking some thoughts on if this is the way I should tackle this
problem.  I have two files, both of them tab delimited text files that I
need to combine and then output a new file.

My idea was to put both files in an array, calling the fields I need,
i.e. $field[0], $field[1] and so on.  I need to loop through the entire
file and output on each loop.  

My concern is the overhead by creating the array's.  Any thoughts.

Thanks,

-Scott

try this, you need to get the line then explode that, fopen just returns
a file handle.

$file = fopen(oldfile.txt, r);
while (!feof ($fd)) {
$lines = fgets($file, 4096)
$newfields = explode(\t, $lines);
echo $newfields[0].br;

 Hi All,
 
 I am trying to create an array from a text file that I will process
and
 rewrite in a new format.  My question is, is it possible to read the
 file 
 in one line at a time and then separate the tab-delimited fields and
 finally rewrite the new file?
 
 The fields are tab delimited and here is what I have attempted in
code:
 
 $lines = fopen(oldfile.txt, r);
 $newfields = explode(\t, $lines);
 echo $newquotes[0];
 
 I get a Resource ID #1 when I echo the line.  
 
 Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Fooling the client into thinking php script is .jpg

[Liam MacKenzie]

Add this inno the appropriate virtual-host

Directory /path/to/the/folder/with/the/jpg/script
AddType application/x-httpd-php .jpg
/Directory

This will parse all .jpg files to the PHP interpreter.

Hope that helped!

Subject: [PHP] Fooling the client into thinking php script is .jpg


I have a script that outputs an image.  Using the gd library.  But the only
way this script gets to execute is if you call it like:

www.host.com/displayimage.php

That then sends the content header, and the image.  Obviously I am doing
some other stuff in there, which is why I am using a script to generate the
image.  Is it possible somehow to request the file as a .jpg?

www.host.com/displayimage.jpg

Fooling the client into thinking it is just a .jpg image.

I tried changing the .htaccess file for the dir this script was in, so that
when a 404 error is genterated, it redirects to the displayimage.php script.
But its not exactly a transparent redirect.  If you type an invalid url it
simply redirects, displaying the name of the script, displayimage.php while
loading the image.

Any suggestions please?

[PHP] email validation (discussion)

[Justin French]

Greetings,

I saw this posted in this group a few days back:

function validEmail($email)
  { 
  if
(eregi(^[a-z0-9]+([-_\.]?[a-z0-9])+@[a-z0-9]+([-_\.]?[a-z0-9])+\.[a-z]{2,4}, $email))
{
return TRUE; 
}
  else
{ 
return FALSE; 
} 
  }


I passed it onto a programmer friend of mine to help me get my head
around the regexp, which he did help me with, but then continued to
point out that this function would return FALSE for many many valid
email address', and I agree.  I had a look at the mail-header standard
(RFC-822), and almost ANYTHING is a valid email address...

The user (prefix of the @) can contain all sorts of special characters
(,',(,),etc) that weren't allowed for in the above regexp.

The domains (suffix of @) can basicaly be defined as two or more groups
of a-z0-9, separated by a period (.) –– I *think* the above regexp does
this, but I'm no where near an expert.


So I'd rather have a regexp which loosly checks for a valid email,
rather than the very strict one above, which would appear to reject some
valid address'...

To me, checking for something like...

anything@two or more groups of a-z0-9, separated by a .

...is about as strict as it can get, based on my quick read of the spec.
 And I'd be pretty happy with a regexp which does this, but I have no
real clue how to write it.  Any help appreciated.


What would be great is a function which checks an email against the spec
-- has anyone built such a beast?


My friend also told me of a perl function which attempts to look-up the
email address via the DNS MX records... has anyone attempted this in
PHP???  Would there be any specific system requirements or limitations
(email forwarders, etc)


I'm really interested in getting this right, and posting it as an FAQ or
article, rather than it kicking around in this group forever.


Thanks,

Justin French

[PHP] Array scanning stops by itself before reaching the end.

[Raúl Sánchez T .]

I got this stupid problem:
I create an HTML list of inputs: input name=Answer[] type='checkbox'  that 
stretches to some 25 elements.

When I try to read the values (on or off) with the code below, PHP won't read past 
the 8th. element and says it's found an undefined variable (which is $x). No matter 
what I do, it's always the 8th. element.


for($x = 1; $x = ($TotalAnswers); $x++)
{
 echo($Answer[$x]);
}

Anyone has a prompt solution? I'm getting desperate.
Thanks, Pepinho.

Yes and No :)

If you search say google for php/oracle/mysql/rdbms you'll have no end of 
sites to visit. Everywhere I go I see small snippets of how to do this or that.

I'm thinking more on along these lines:

 Smart Architectures in PHP
 Tim Perdue 

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001010.php3

although I think a site could go beyond that and just be smart architectures 
and then show/discuss etc. in Perl/PHP ... 

But heck, I think there is always room for more good sites.

If you did more databases then it might be interesting to show the 
differences between them. Mysql is evolving fast and it's been the one I 
used most but I've also used postgresq and oracle. I've not used triggers or 
stored procedures AT ALL but I'm familiar with them and as a data model 
grows in complexity it really seems easier to me to use such tools rather 
than doing all the work in my programming language. I don't see this stuff 
discussed much. I'd like to see these kinds of things. How you do X in 
Oracle but is done like Y in MySQL, etc.

I'm a little scared of your reference to code repositories. I like CPAN for 
Perl and I guess Pear for PHP but I haven't gotten into it much as I'm still 
learning PHP.  imho the OO approach with classes as black boxes is 
much better than the scripting nature of Perl/PHP. code repositories 
bring to mind cut and paste and I try and avoid that at all costs.

Just my thoughts. I'd certainly like to know when your site goes live. I'm too 
busy to help with anything myself. Unemployed and spending all my time

I dont think any of us can break the E-mail habbit :) I agree with you there 
are alot of sites out there. That is a good idea to show ways to do things in 
different DB's sort of a DB centric site. I guess the main focus of the site is 
community help. Not only code snippet stuff. But Forums and E-mail help. The 
thing about PHP is it is a relativly new language and alot of people need help 
with it. So a site that allows them to comunicate directly with some experts 
can help them greatly. Also looking at code snippets with articles like 
phpbuilder helps people alot when the get stuck. I will let you know when it 
goes up :) Thanks for all your ideas.

[PHP] Rounding....

[Matthew Clark]

Seeing as the mathematically correct way to round numbers is to round down
to n for n-1=m=n.5 and up to n+1 for n.5mn+1, I wonder why the PHP
round() function couldn't include a little 'fuzz' to handle the rounding
problems we encounter due to floating point representation in the hardware?
It could even be a configurable option - but it would save writing a
wrapper...

$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$db);


This returns :

it works (but get all the rows with userNo = $userNo.

Re: [PHP] Array scanning stops by itself before reaching the end.

[Bogdan Stancescu]

Are you actually checking more than eight checkboxes? Otherwise you don't _get_ the 
ones which are unchecked at all - that's the way it works. The ideal way to do this - 
if you have to do it with arrays - is to walk
$Answer and check WHAT'S in there, rather than IF there is something in there. This 
obviously assumes you're setting distinct values for the checked checkboxes in HTML.

Anyway, the first thing to try is to set more than eight checkboxes in HTML and see if 
you get the error at different indexes.

Do an echo($clientID) before - it most probably is either empty or it's a

$result2 = mysql_query($query2,$db) or die(mysql_error());

If mysql is throwing up an error, that'll present it too you and stop
execution..

Do an echo($clientID) before - it most probably is either empty or it's a
string and MySQL actually issues errors there.

Thanks,

$clientID is a string but is not empty...already tried echo($clientID) and
it is not empty.

Did you mean that if the value of $cientID is a string it wont work

Re: [PHP] Fooling the client into thinking php script is .jpg

[Bogdan Stancescu]

...however, this may not be the best solution since actual JPEG's accidentally
containing the ? string will issue errors (!) on your server. The proper way
to do this is leave it .php if possible.

 Subject: [PHP] Fooling the client into thinking php script is .jpg

 I have a script that outputs an image.  Using the gd library.  But the only
 way this script gets to execute is if you call it like:

 www.host.com/displayimage.php

 That then sends the content header, and the image.  Obviously I am doing
 some other stuff in there, which is why I am using a script to generate the
 image.  Is it possible somehow to request the file as a .jpg?

 www.host.com/displayimage.jpg

 Fooling the client into thinking it is just a .jpg image.

 I tried changing the .htaccess file for the dir this script was in, so that
 when a 404 error is genterated, it redirects to the displayimage.php script.
 But its not exactly a transparent redirect.  If you type an invalid url it
 simply redirects, displaying the name of the script, displayimage.php while
 loading the image.

 Any suggestions please?

Re: [PHP] 2 conditions why wont they work??

No, with your syntax it won't. You have to quote it in the query, as in
$query2 = select * from Table where  userNo = $userNo and clientID =
'$clientID';

RE: [PHP] 2 conditions why wont they work??

[Matthew Clark]

In your code below, mysql will throw an error if $clientID is empty or
non-numeric because it is not surrounded with quotation marks.. mysql will
treat it as a field name (or just throw a syntax error if it's empty).

Re: [PHP] Rounding....

I guess that's because nobody knows beforehand which direction the fuzz should
go - should it go a little upwards or a little downwards in order to match
all systems?

Just my two cents.

 Seeing as the mathematically correct way to round numbers is to round down
 to n for n-1=m=n.5 and up to n+1 for n.5mn+1, I wonder why the PHP

 It could even be a configurable option - but it would save writing a

it should be test 3.


input type=hidden name=XclientID value=?php echo

this is the extract form the form on the previous page which sets $clientID.

I am sure that a space is being added but cant find where.

Re: [PHP] 2 conditions why wont they work??

Most unusual indeed. The quick/ugly solution is to trim() the incoming $clientID.
But that's not appropriate if you expect valid entries starting with a space (well,
two spaces in your case) :)

Gotta hit the sack now - check out the time over here! :)

 I've setup an upload form for uploading files to my server.  It seems to

 At the heart of the script is the copy() function.  Anyone have any

 Thanks in advance,

First I would try to isolate the problem by removing the network
from the equation.

1. Try ftping or scp a file from the client machine to the server and the
note the difference between that and your script.
2. Comment out the  copy() line in your upload script to see if that
really make a difference.

3.  Add a timer to the script to see how long it actually takes to do it's
thing.

4  Run top and free -m in separate  terminals  to see how the server
is reacting to your script as it executes.

5. Try out Zend's debug server, it might be of some use in this situation.

Good luck.

[PHP] Forms and IE

[Sean Hurley]

Please forgive me if this has been covered before. I have searched the list 
and could not find reference to a similar problem.

I am completetly new to PHP and I am stuck. I am creating a very simple 
form. Essentially the user agrees or disagrees to a message. If the user 
agrees, they are sent to another form. It they disagree they are sent home.

My script works with Netscape and Opera but not Internet Explorer (ver 
6.0.2) and I cannot figure out why. As I said it is very simple and the 
relevant parts are displayed as follows:
form method=post action=agree.php
..
I have read the terms and Agree input type=checkbox name=agree[] 
value=agree I Do Not Agree input type=checkbox name=disagree 
value=disagree
input type=submit name=submit value=Submit
...
agree.php
?
if ($agree)  /* (I have tried this also with ($isset = $agree))  */
{ header (location: ?link=form);
}
else
{ header (location: /LETS);
}
?

As I said, this works fine with Netscape and Opera but not IE.
Any suggestions and/or advice is appreciated.

 Any suggestions and/or advice is appreciated.

 Thanks.

RE: [PHP] Forms and IE

[Sean Hurley]

Well, damn.
When I read your suggestion I didn't quite accept it. I thought
no, it would return an error if it couldn't find the page, but with nothing 
to lose I tried it. And it worked. Thank you. Thanks a lot.

might be the header(location...);  bit - you might need to specify the

Subject: [PHP] Forms and IE



Please forgive me if this has been covered before. I have searched the list
and could not find reference to a similar problem.

I am completetly new to PHP and I am stuck. I am creating a very simple
form. Essentially the user agrees or disagrees to a message. If the user
agrees, they are sent to another form. It they disagree they are sent home.

My script works with Netscape and Opera but not Internet Explorer (ver
6.0.2) and I cannot figure out why. As I said it is very simple and the
relevant parts are displayed as follows:
form method=post action=agree.php
..
I have read the terms and Agree input type=checkbox name=agree[]
value=agree I Do Not Agree input type=checkbox name=disagree
value=disagree
input type=submit name=submit value=Submit
...
agree.php
?
if ($agree)  /* (I have tried this also with ($isset = $agree))  */
{ header (location: ?link=form);
}
else
{ header (location: /LETS);
}
?

As I said, this works fine with Netscape and Opera but not IE.
Any suggestions and/or advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

[Analysis and Solutions]

Hi Sean:

Sean Hurley wrote:
 
 Agree input type=checkbox name=agree[] value=agree
 I Do Not Agree input type=checkbox name=disagree value=disagree

 if ($agree)  /* (I have tried this also with ($isset = $agree))  */
 { header (location: ?link=form);
 }
 else
 { header (location: /LETS);
 }

Several things here.  You're probably having problems because you defined
agree as an array (via the brackets in name=agree[]), but in your code
you're examining it as a regular variable.  By the way ($isset = $agree)
isn't real, at least in this context.  You mean if ( isset($agree) ) {...

Now, to do this job right...  First, use radio buttons.  Second, make
disagree the default.  Third examine the information in PHP.  Fourth, use a
full URL in the Location.  Fifth, write clean code, using indents to
demarcate nesting so your code is easier to read.

FORM:
   input type=radio name=Agree value=Y / I Agree
   input type=radio name=Agree value=N checked / I Do Not Agree


RECEIVING SCRIPT:
   if ($Agree == 'Y') {
  header('Location: http://foo.org/?link=form');
   } else {
  header('Location: http://foo.org/LETS/');
   }


Enjoy,

--Dan

Assuming you're using Apache, you can use a rewrite rule (with
mod_rewrite).  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Turn the rewrite engine on, then specify a rewrite rule which tells apache
to execute your script when a certain file is requested.

Using the file names you specified, add this to your httpd.conf (or your
.htaccess):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/displayimage.jpg$ /displayimage.php [L]

You can then just use /displayimage.jpg as an image src, then when a
visitor's browser requests it, apache will execute  return
/displayimage.php instead, and the visitor will never know.

[PHP] PHP Technology Comparisons

[Richard Lynch]

First, I'm going to apologize for posting when I don't even lurk any 
more, much less contribute. :-|

Those of you who remember me from back in the day will probably 
forgive me -- Those of you who don't, well, what can I say?  Time 
and Tools is how an old friend and I used to put it.

Speaking of Tools (and Time, for that matter), the REAL purpose of 
this post is to announce that I've (finally!) gotten around to fixing 
the cobbler's kid's shoes, and the PHP Technology Comparisons page 
is back in operation.

This page originally started when I got tired of the Which PHP 
Shopping Cart Is Best? thread (for the 40th time) back around in 
1998, I think...  I decided it was time to once and for damn well all 
survey the public and get the answer and never have to sit through 
*THAT* thread again.  (Well, in theory...)

Anyway, this application will probably win an award for crudest 
interface of all time, but the darn thing works.  (Dammit Jim, I'm a 
Programmer, not a Designer!)

And, since you see the previous voter's results as you vote, no 
pollster worth their salt (or whatever pollsters get paid in) is 
going to consider it valid.  Yeah, whatever.

I did at least replace the text headings across the top with some 
nifty dynamic images with vertical text, so you only have to scroll 
half as much horizontally as you used to...  As if anybody even 
remembers the stupid page that's been dead for half a year or so... 
You still can't see all the features at once, but it's half as bad as 
it was. :-)

Of course, in fixing it up, I've decided to start adding new 
Technologies to compare every month or so (solely subject to my whim, 
of course).

At the moment, the comparison in question is:
(drum roll please)

PHP Optimization Technologies

So whether you think the Zend Cache is the bomb or not, here's your 
chance to vote for it on the features and technologies *YOU* think 
matter.

Anybody on the planet (okay, anybody who can use a web-browser) can 
nominate their favorite (or most-hated) Solution, and, similarly, 
anybody on the planet (repeat disclaimer) can nominate an important 
Feature.

Voting is strictly on the honor system, since you know and I know 
that *ANY* on-line poll can be rigged, schemed, gamed, or otherwise 
hacked, I've decided to not even *bother* with *ANY* kind of control 
whatsoever other than your honor.

Think of it as an wide-open free-form People's Choice meets Consumer 
Reports, where you decide what the features to compare are, and you 
decide which products to rate, and, come to think of it, you decide 
which ones are the best.

Fortunately, this is the 'Net and we all end up with the collective 
wisdom of as many of you as bother vote, instead of 6 mystery guys in 
the employ of Consumer Reports, eh?

Naturally, the old PHP Shopping Cart results are still available, and 
you can even vote on the old survey[s] if you want (mostly because it 
was easier to leave it alone than to hack it to stop you from voting).

So if you're looking for a shopping cart, and want to see how they 
all stack up, this is the place.

Similarly, if you're looking to get more out of your PHP-enabled 
web-server, you know what to do:

http://l-i-e.com/compare/

Release the hounds!!!

PS  I was going to do PHP Code Profilers only there don't seem to 
*BE* any :-(  Please, somebody prove me wrong...

[PHP] Cache-Control: no-cache and browser back button problem

[Steven Haryanto]

why does the cache control header generated by php (under 
session_cache_limiter = nocache) needs to have no-store? It 
makes pressing Back in the browser requests a new version of the 
page (which is unwanted in some situations, e.g. while filling 
form and needs to edit a few fields before re-submitting).

Also, when I am editing the script and had a fatal error (like a 
PHP syntax error), the stored version of the page by the browser 
is always the one with a fatal error, and I need to always 
refresh to get the current version (I am using a 'Never check 
for newer versions of pages' in my browser, which is fine for 
most circumstances).

Can I remove the 'no-store' parameter from the generated 
Cache-Control header, without resorting to session_cache_limiter 
= private (since this also have some Refresh problems in IE)?
