[PHP] vpopmail Functions
Hello, I have read on php.net that the vpopmail functions are available in 4.0.5 and later. However, I have not been able to successfully use then on 4.0.6 or 4.1.0. Is this something that needs to be enabled, or am I doing something incorrectly? Pete~
[PHP] Is there an MSSQL limit function?
I want to run a query like: select * from table order by rand() limit 3 in MySQL it would work but I need to run it in MSSQL. I've been searching for a limit function in MSSQL and I can't find a way to do it. I'm experienced with MySQL but know nothing about MSSQL. If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Dean

Is anyone familiar with how exactly to use the TOP command in MSSQL? Is it in it's own SQL query or built into the select query? I'm looking at the help and it doesn't seem very helpful...

Re: [PHP] Is there an MSSQL limit function?
I figured it out! For benefit of all I'm posting the answer: select top 3 * from table This query will return the top three rows of the table but now I want to them to be random. Once again, in MySQL you could just say order by rand() but that doesn't work in MSSQL. Does anyone know how to do this?

But I think it goes something like: SELECT * FROM table TOP 5; Actually it's SELECT TOP 5 * FROM table; I've had some recent experience attempting to find an equivalent to the LIMIT clause in MSSQL. No one method is really ideal, but here are a couple of ways: 1. Use subselects One method is to use a mixture of the TOP clause along with subselects to get a certain record range out. Let's say that you have a result set and you want to get rows 30-39 (assuming the first row is zero). This is one way: select * from (select top 10 * from (select top 40 * from ... where ... order by ... desc) as ax order by ...) as aa order by ... desc This is pretty odd, but basically what it does is select the top 40 records in reverse order, then from that result set it selects the top 10 (getting records 39-30). The outermost select statement reverses the order again so you get records 30-39. The problem with this method is that it gets slower the higher up in the result set you go. It always has to select as least as many rows as the highest row number you want to get. If your full result set contains 1000 rows, and you need rows 550-560, your statement still has to select at least 560 rows to work. 2. Used a temp table inside a stored procedure This is probably the better solution. Basically what you do is create a stored procedure that selects all of your results into a temp table with an row counter column (field type IDENTITY), and then select the results out of the temp table where (Row = @Start) AND (Row = @End). There is a nice article that explains this method in detail here: http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/010308.htm This isn't really related to paging, just more of a general tip: I have found Sybase's Transact-SQL User's Guide on their website to be very helpful in working with MSSQL. For the most part the syntax is exactly the same, and the site is easy to navigate IMHO. Call me crazy, but I've found it generally more helpful than the Books On-Line.

Re: [PHP] modular programming
Dear Steven and Kunal, Agreed with what you had to say. In my experience, 'modular coding' is entirely a process of evolution. It's impossible to sit down and design software on paper. Every piece of code I write is under constant evaluation. Each time a weakness is exposed, I rethink my strategy. Often there is no 'perfect' solution, since each presents a different set of compromises. Devoting yourself to endlessly rewriting and structuring your code will, in the long term, yield better code than anyone can advise in a book or paper. This para gives an impression that modular programming is an iterative process (maybe not Steven's intention). An iterative approach would certainly enable you to improve the quality of your code - at some expense to rethink/re-implement, and such improvements may well occur through changes to the modularisation/interfaces between modules. Modular programming as a philosophy though, starts at the program design stage, not at version two! 'Modular programming' as a concept is quite old (in computer/doggie years). Then there was the whole confusion/absortption/improvement of philosoophies into 'structured programming' - which some will argue is the same and others maintain a difference (I... - who cares!?). The real 'excitement' was stirred up by a paper (which became very famous) called 'GOTO statement considered harmful' and a massive debate erupted as to whether one could write programs without using GOTOs - is there a GOTO command in PHP? The guru at the time was Jackson, and if you plug Jackson structured programming into Google (or your favorite SE) you will be inundated with 'stuff'. He wrote a fairly thin and most readable book on the subject, but I doubt it is still in print (check Amazon etc). In those days it was also known as JSP. Unfortunately that acronym has been also taken for something else more recently. The design process, and if you want them, the pretty diagrams, have been refined and 'improved' over the years, so there's plenty of material about. Most likely it is built into every 'introduction to programming' text (that is, programming as a process, not learning a specific language!) These days of course, much of the philosophy of splitting up a monolithic program into a series of smaller, inter-communicating modules has been absorbed into the object-oriented approach (and various other 'bits' grafted on to make it bigger, brighter, and better - as they have become implemented (and made practical to use) in various programming languages/systems). Unfortunately PHP is designed to output HTML and that is a very procedural process, so PHP has limited OO facilities. Reading up about classes and encapsulation will pretty much take you through modular/structured design theory and if you use other 'modern' (programming) languages then that might be a good move for you (us 'old dogs' can handle the concepts, but seem to have fundamental difficulties with the mechanics of the 'new tricks'). Which brings us back to Steven's third point - that such things can be overdone. Structure (of whichever flavor) is designed to make the coding/debugging/come back and extend/'improve' it later, processes of development more efficient. This is quite separate from execution efficiency. However there is no way one can improve one, and neglect the other - nor should vice-versa be allowed to become an excuse for slapdash coding practices! Some people associate the word 'module' with (in PHP) 'function'. So they think of modular programming as a code that is divided up into a series of subroutines, ie functions/calls. This is overly simplistic. Each WHILE loop (for example) is also a 'module'. It has a particular purpose, contains a set/module of functionality, and has definable beginning and end-points/conditions. Deciding how to best structure your code to suit the process is a question that appears here quite often - how often are we asked something like: 'I have a database listing a series of ... and I want to copy these out to an HTML table with n-columns across the screen' and the neophyte coder is quite confused and wants to know how to handle the (exceptions of) situation? The problem is one of 'structure': the database yields a one-dimensional list of 'whatevers', but the output screen is a table divided into n-columns - and worse, the complication is (handling the exception conditions, for example) that we don't know if the number of db-rows divides evenly between the number of screen-columns. So most start coding and take their 'structure' from the database call, ie a list, and then try to 'share out' the rows across the screen - and get into trouble when it doesn't all fit together neatly (without 'exceptions'). Structured programming suggests that one examines (diagramming) the structure of the input and compare that with the structure of the output format. These two structures should then be 'aligned'.

Re: [PHP] modular programming
Hey Kunal, The entire concept of OOP was based on the data and not the processing :) No, this seems too much of a simplification. In the 'good old days' we used to design a program by using a flowchart. Such is an entirely procedural/code-based approach. Each of the philosophies that followed/developed from there, suggested that we should pay (more) attention to the data (and its structure/characteristics). However none is exclusively based on the data and not the processing. You need to consider both and not one at the expense of the other... This point was emphasised by an earlier correspondent! But, no one has yet addressed the core of my question. What do you mean? Here is the original question: - does anyone know of any good papers on modular programing? I have been able to make my code modular, but I am not satisfied with it. I am trying to make my program work the plug in way.. where i can just add more modules on the fly... any tips? :) - Which bits were addressable by someone else, and which parts are very much restricted by knowledge only in your head? The add more modules on the fly was such a mixture of terminology/buzz-words as to sound Superman-futuristic!? (include files possibly?) Two suggestions: - do the reading and sort out your approach, then roll forward into the specific application/review its design/modularity etc - address a specific situation (as below) by describing your objectives for it, the necessary parameters, what you have done so far, etc Don't muddle the entire process of LEARNING about a philosophy/approach, with 'fixing' a specific piece of code. How can I make any application plugable? I am trying to create a standard which will work with every other language. A simple example of what I am attempting to do is : I have a guestbook A. I have features in it a. allow public viewing of records b. dont allow publiv viewing of records Now, this is very simply, I could just store the on/off value and then validate agianst that. But when it comes to bigger applications, and more complex situations, where you have to make choices like, allowing the data to be written to a dbase or no, wether it should get processed or no. How does one handle such situations? What's wrong with your 'guestbook' solution? If you're not satisfied, start a new conversational thread (ie with a more descriptive title) because there are many experienced 'guest bookers' on the list, who will be more than capable/happy to share ideas/experience. The philosophies behind modular programming, structured programming, and object-oriented programming all unite in the realisation that bigger applications and more complex situations can be rendered to be collections of smaller and less complex 'units' that can be individually programmed (and tested) as 'simple solutions', and then combined together to provide size, complexity, and power.

Then I hit the page and it has a value of 2. The bob hits it and it has a value of 3. And so on. There's no messaging from one session to another, though I don't doubt you could architect some code to operate like that.

[PHP] php blocking functions
Hello everyone, I am searching for an alternate way to accomplish user synchronization. I would like two or more users to block on the read of some stream, so that when one person writes to it, the other person(s) will read it. The only way I currently know to do this is with the socket functions. However, this poses a small problem. If I use the socket functions, I have to keep a script running on the server at all times. I would really like to have users block at the end of a file until new information is appended. I certainly don't want to have all my clients sit in infinite while loops, and I'm sure my isp doesn't either. I may be shit out of luck anyway, if they are killing processes that run for too long. I appreciate any and all suggestions. If someone knows exactly which functions block, aside from the socket functions, could you please tell me? Thank you. Respectfully, Chad

In the 'good old days' we used to design a program by using a flowchart. Such is an entirely procedural/code-based approach. Each of the philosophies that followed/developed from there, suggested that we should pay (more) attention to the data (and its structure/characteristics). However none is exclusively based on the data and not the processing. You need to consider both and not one at the expense of the other... This point was emphasised by an earlier correspondent! But, no one has yet addressed the core of my question. What do you mean? Here is the original question: - does anyone know of any good papers on modular programing? I have been able to make my code modular, but I am not satisfied with it. I am trying to make my program work the plug in way.. where i can just add more modules on the fly... any tips? :) - Which bits were addressable by someone else, and which parts are very much restricted by knowledge only in your head? The add more modules on the fly was such a mixture of terminology/buzz-words as to sound Superman-futuristic!? (include files possibly?) Two suggestions: - do the reading and sort out your approach, then roll forward into the specific application/review its design/modularity etc - address a specific situation (as below) by describing your objectives for it, the necessary parameters, what you have done so far, etc Don't muddle the entire process of LEARNING about a philosophy/approach, with 'fixing' a specific piece of code. How can I make any application plugable? I am trying to create a standard which will work with every other language. A simple example of what I am attempting to do is : I have a guestbook A. I have features in it a. allow public viewing of records b. dont allow publiv viewing of records Now, this is very simply, I could just store the on/off value and then validate agianst that. But when it comes to bigger applications, and more complex situations, where you have to make choices like, allowing the data to be written to a dbase or no, wether it should get processed or no. How does one handle such situations? What's wrong with your 'guestbook' solution? If you're not satisfied, start a new conversational thread (ie with a more descriptive title) because there are many experienced 'guest bookers' on the list, who will be more than capable/happy to share ideas/experience. The philosophies behind modular programming, structured programming, and object-oriented programming all unite in the realisation that bigger applications and more complex situations can be rendered to be collections of smaller and less complex 'units' that can be individually programmed (and tested) as 'simple solutions', and then combined together to provide size, complexity, and power.

Hi Justin, are you using ?php session_start(); ? at the top of every page
you want to keep the session?
Cheers, Joe :)
Justin Deutsch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
Hi All,
I am running Apache with PHP4 as a module. I have also written a script
(template.php) that sets up the default envrionment, like the CSS and
navigation etc. The script also reads in a file, as defined by the ?path=
of the URL. The file it reads in must have the sections (includes, header
and body, as defined by /*** ***/ and /*** end ***/ pairs). The file is
the split into these sections and along with the templated bits of the page
compile into a single string which is the executed using the eval(). Now
this all works fine, but I also want to use sessions. The first session
from the index.html file, which is first acessed as a login page, stores the
player class fine, but when I go to the next page (player_login.html) I seem
to loose the session.
You might ask why I don't just use an existing templating system, well
it's because I think that you should only have to write the template once
and not have to touch it again. The templating systems I have come across
force you to include a file at the top and bottom of the code you are
writing. The one down side to the way I am doing it is that I have had to
force the other file into a include, header and body section, but this is a
trivial formatting issue.
Is there something I'm missing? I have included the code for the three
scripts below.

/*
* This script is the basis for a templaing engine. The engine uses the
* rewrite feature of the web server to capture the Virtual URL that the

Re: [PHP] scheduled tasks
Is currently anyway of doing scheduled tasks with PHP (without using crontab)? What's wrong with using cron? I'm building an OSS site where the PostgreSQL data base maintenance, email sending, stats gathering, number crunching and graph plotting needs to be automated. My target audience will need things as simple as possible. I am under the impression that it would be a hassle and cost more to get a web host to install a cron script for Postgres. (Or have php as an executable binary instead of shared object.) What I do so far is look at a serial number from a data base table. If it is divisible by 20, I fill up a graph plotting que. If divisible by 50, another que is filled, etc. The footer has a script that checks a table with each que status and then does does a few things out of the highest priority que. I figure the user will not notice a few small scripts running after all the text is displayed. If there is a better way, let me know!! Thanks, Jeff

Re: [PHP] Tricky variable question! Impossible??
Well, as long as you use double quotes: the variables will be parsed
inside you statement... single quotes however mean the exact string...
example:
$icon = 1.jpg;
$str = this is the image $icon;
$str2 = 'this is the image $icon';
print $str; // returns: this is the image 1.jpg
print $str2; // returns: this is the image $icon

Hi guys,
I am not sure if this is possible. Not on my knowledge, but maybe someone
is
smarter than I am :-)
I want to pass an icon to a function. Therefore I am putting all the html
into a var called icon.
Inside this html their is another variable with an array which value is
set
inside the function.
How can I pass this html thing and ensure that the variable is gonna be
set?
Take a look at the code underneath.
Like that it is just printing out $picture_id[$i]
$icon_1 = a href=\index.php?fuseaction=editaction=deleteid=%s\
onclick=\return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete picture
no:
$picture_id[$i]');\
img src=\../app_global/pics/delete.gif\ width=20 height=20
border=0
alt=\delete\
/a;
Can anybody help on this?
Thanx for any help

One way to do it (stole this from my 'Beginning PHP' book [Wrox]):
Store the current timestamp into a file. Read this file every time some
commonly-used feature of your site is executed. Then, when X number of
seconds has passed beyond the timestamp, execute some other code:
$countfile = ./countfile.txt;
$fp = fopen($countfile, 'r+');
$oldtime = fread($fp);
if ((time()) = ($oldtime + 24 * 60 * 60 * 7)) {
// a week has passed since the last time the file was written to
// execute the code (mail or whatever)
}
rewind($fp);
fwrite($fp, time());
fclose($fp);
or something like that. NB this code is definitely untested, so it
probably won't work, but the theory is there. Also, be sure to take
into account the security issues of having a file writeable by your web

Re: [PHP] Change gif image with php
Rodrigo,
I've been struggling with this for some time, so here goes:
The php4 builds do not support .gif files, you'll need to change your files
to .jpg or .png format, or use php3 (I can't change to php3).
I use imagecreate() func. before imagecreatefromjpeg() func. because if I
didn't do this, the added text would be gray regardless of the desired
color.
The mysql portion is solid and yields the desired results.
However, I'm having trouble with something related to the
imagecreatefromjpeg() func., I get a server error (500) on some images
regardless of their size. This is the only error produced by the func. and
it is maddening. From experimentation, I believe that there's something
wrong with the .jpg files, the .jpg file upload, or the phase of the moon.
Good luck,
Hugh

Of course, this requires your script to be in your web servers directory tree, but if security is a concern you could always setup a .htaccess file to challenge for credentials then use the -auth switch to lynx in your remote script.

This is not true. GIF support depends solely on the version of the GD library PHP is linked against. GIF support was not removed from PHP. It was removed from later versions of the GD library.

[PHP] Where To Find Resources About Programming Style (my bleedin' code is so darn ugly)
I am looking for a good manual or introduction on how to write readable,
extensible code (in any programming language). To give you an example,
this bit looks pretty darn horrible and I just don't know how to
rephrase it to make it more concise and readable:
- snip -
if ( ($var0) ( (strlen($var)==strlen(intval($var))) or
((strlen($var)-1)==strlen(intval($var))) ) ) {
do stuff;
}
- snap -
(actually, depending on how you've configured your mail reader, or how
your terminal is set, this boolean expression may acually not appear in
one line . . . which is a problem in itself)
I am not sure why, but one problem that I happen to run up against is
that I write expressions (boolean) which get very long and because you
can't split them (what with them being conditionals in if clauses) - or
can you? - they stretch off the screen which makes my code pretty much
unreadable (I noticed that good-looking code tends to stick with, like,
70 or something characters in width).
But that's just one problem.
The stuff that I do always works, but I always have difficulties
understanding it once I come back to it after a while (the fact that I
am also lazy at commenting is not the issue - it is my belief that
well-written code should be readable as well as functional).
There must be some kind of canonical text on the subject matter, just as
there are canonical texts on SQL (Codd, Celko), C (Kernigan, Ritchie),
Perl (Wall), epistemology (Kant), the laws of motion (Newton), general
relativity (Einstein), psychoanlysis (Freud) . . . you name it.

Re: [PHP] Where To Find Resources About Programming Style (my bleedin' code is so darn ugly)

I am looking for a good manual or introduction on how to write readable,

this bit looks pretty darn horrible and I just don't know how to
rephrase it to make it more concise and readable:
- snip -
if ( ($var0) ( (strlen($var)==strlen(intval($var))) or
((strlen($var)-1)==strlen(intval($var))) ) ) {
do stuff;
}
- snap -
This is all just IMHO, because I'm still a bit of a beginner.
I have always been tempted to write code in the fewest lines possible. But
sometimes this is a Bad Thing, because it can make it very difficult to
figure out what you were thinking when you wrote it. I think readability
is more important, especially in PHP apps where you are not trying to
squeeze out every last bit of performance (don't get me wrong, speed is
important, but let's face it, we're not designing low level device drivers
or real time kernels here...)
Anyway, not really knowing what you are trying to accomplish above, I would
rewrite it like so:
$strlength = strlen($var);
$intlength = strlen(intval($var));
if($strlength == $intlength || $strlength - 1 == $intlength) {
$length_ok = true;
}
if($var 0 $length_ok) {
do stuff;
}
Yes, that is 6 more lines of code than your example, but I believe it is
much clearer and easier to read. Also, the above is actually self
documenting IMHO. If I was going to use your example in my code, I would
definitely have to comment it to remind myself of it's purpose later, where
my example I believe doesn't require comments as it's easier to read.
Don't have any specific book recommendations...maybe someone else will jump
in and suggest something...

Re: [PHP] PHP Help Requested
I have a template stored in a database which contains variables. Then,
in a separate file, I have the variables set, and I call the template and
run
it through eval(). Unfortunately, it only is parsing a few of them.
Could
somebody take a look and give me some input?
Here's what my template table looks like:
CREATE TABLE templates (
id tinyint(4) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
name varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',
template text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
UNIQUE KEY name (name)
)
Then here is my template function that preps the data for use with eval():
function template($name, $set=main){
global $tb_templates;
$sql =
select
*
from
$tb_templates
where
name = '$name'
;
if($query = sql_query($sql)){
if(sql_num_rows($query)==1){
$array = sql_fetch_array($query);
$template = str_replace(\\',',addslashes($array[template]));
} else {
$template = $name . template not found.;
}
}
return $template;
}
Then here is how to use eval() properly:
$template_name = template(template_name);
eval(\$template_name = \$template_name\;);
This will parse all your $vars you store in the templates.

[PHP] Re: Outputing XML to browser???
More info on my latest issue regarding the integrating of xml and php for dynamic xml documents Thanks for help, could use another assist if you have a moment. When I used the method of using the application it worked only the output is text not xml, ie it does update the dynamic information but formats it as text so I reverted back to the previous configuration of the line in the httpd.conf file which is IfModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps /IfModule Now as I thought about this, there must be something that tells php that it's default type is text/html for output. I perused the php.ini file and low and behold I find something: ; As of 4.0b4, PHP always outputs a character encoding by default in ; the Content-type: header. To disable sending of the charset, simply ; set it to be empty. ; ; PHP's built-in default is text/html default_mimetype = text/xml I changed this to xml, now my xml works but of course I've now broke html formating. (I need both of course) Surely there is someway to tell either with an xml header or something within the beginning of a file which at this point could be either xml or php, really doesn't matter.

[PHP] Apache.exe fails Java
Hi,
I am learning how to use the PHP Java extension. I used the example
script/codes found in the PHP Java documentation:
?php
// get instance of Java class java.lang.System in PHP
$system = new Java('java.lang.System');
// demonstrate property access
print 'Java version='.$system-getProperty('java.version').' br';
print 'Java vendor=' .$system-getProperty('java.vendor').' br';
print 'OS='.$system-getProperty('os.name').' '.
$system-getProperty('os.version').' on '.
$system-getProperty('os.arch').' br';
// java.util.Date example
$formatter = new Java('java.text.SimpleDateFormat',
, dd, 'at' h:mm:ss a );
print $formatter-format(new Java('java.util.Date'));
?
And I got the correct output:
Java version=1.3.0
Java vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
OS=Windows 2000 5.0 on x86
Sunday, February 17, 2002 at 3:28:42 AM Greenwich Mean Time
However, the script also crashed Apache.exe each time it was run. It gave me
the following error message: Apache.exe has generated errors and will be
closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.
Does anyone know what is going on? Why Apache.exe kept crashing after runing
this PHP script?

[PHP] MySQL error checking/matching
Hello everyone,
I have a problem. I have a test database (used to learn MySQL) with a
table called customers and a field called email. The email field is set
to be unique, so I know that by using: $query = select email from
customers where email = $email; I will get one cell with the e-mail
address that matches the email address specified by the variable
$e-mail. Basically, I want to check to see if the e-mail address set in
the variable $email matches the email address in the field named email.
But I get an error at the end.
Here's the source:
Assumptions:
- $email is set from a previous page
- a database connection is open and the database to be used is selected
- session settings will send $error back to the form page if result of
if statement below is true
$query = select email from customers // Check for duplicate
entry
. where email = $email;
$query = stripslashes($query);
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); // Get the number of
rows in database (integer)
for ($i = 0; $i $num_results; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); // Return
results in an associative array
}
if($row[email] == $email) { // Check to see
if $email matches in database
$error = $email has already been registered;
header(Location: signup.php??=SID?);
exit;
}
And this produces the following error:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
e:\localhost/book-o-rama/admin/signup_do.php on line 34.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated...

RE: [PHP] Help please
I'm sorry but I cant seem to make it work.
The form instruction is now:
form method=get onSubmit=submitonce(this)
The Button Instruction is now:
input type=Button value=Enviar style=background-color: #E9B361
onClick=document.forms[1].submit();window.open('php/encuesta.php','1','
scrollbars=0,width=300,height=340,top=150,left=150');return true
Still when the new window opens is stops cause it does not have any
values with it.
What am I doing wrong here, if I add an action statement in the form,
then it opens the php procedure in the same window an works. If I add a
_blank target it also works, but the new window never works.
Thanks.

You should make up your mind - do you want to use the form in order to
carry the data (use submit()) or do you want to submit the data via URL
(GET method - using window.open()). You can't use both!

I put the text like this:
input type=Button value=Enviar
style=background-color: #E9B361
onClick=window.open('php/encuesta.php','1','scrollbars=0,width=300,hei
g
ht=340,top=150,left=150',document.forms[0].submit());return true
but it opens the new window (like it is supposed but it carries no
data), and the main window changes like if no value was added. This is
the third consecutive form in the page, and the form header is like
this.
form method=POST action=php/encuesta.php
target=_blank onSubmit=submitonce(this) name=poll
where submitonce(this) is a function that disables the button after one
submission is made.
Help please.
Thanks
The site is www.papelesdeviaje.com http://www.papelesdeviaje.com/
and
is the poll in question. You can access below the enviar, and see what
I
need the submit button to do.
Thanks.

Since you're assuming Javascript anyway, you can use a input
type=button instead of input type=submit and use the same
javascript code as for the a href, just that you append a
document.forms[0].submit().

I'm trying to contro l the way a new window opens when submiting a
form.
When I do it fro m a regular button, I use:
p align=center a href=#pv
onClick=window.open('php/resulta.php','1','sc
rollbars=0,width=300,height=340,top=150,left=150');return true
and it works, it opens the new window, but I'm not transferring any
values in here.
What I want to do is that when I push the submit button of a form, it
opens in the same window size as the prior example. I hope you can
assist me.

[PHP] Could this be a configuration directive?
I get a parse error using my CGI version of PHP on the following line: $message = $$this-func_name($string); However, the same above line works fine with my ISP's CGI version of PHP. The first thing that jumps to my mind is that my ISP's CGI version could have been compiled with some different configuration directive. However, I am not able to figure it out. Could someone please advise. Oh, another thing, my CGI version is PHP 3.0.12. The ISP CGI version is PHP 4.0.3pl1. Is the above syntax not supported in PHP3? Thanks for your quick response. = Anas Mughal [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 973-249-6665 __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

That is strange. Just for kicks, try using curly braces to make the
statement less ambiguous. Is the variable part just the object name, or is
it the entire method? See if it works like this:
$message = ${$this}-func_name($string);
or like this:
$message = ${$this-func_name($string)};
Depending on which one you mean.

Re: [PHP] Could this be a configuration directive?
Thank you very much...
This worked:
$message = ${$this-func_name($string)};
and, this worked: (I am going to stick with this)
$message = ${$this-func_name}($string);
However, this did NOT work:
$message = ${$this}-func_name($string);
Lesson learned: I need to enclose the function name
variable in curly braces.
Thanks.
