RE: [PHP] Table Making
Thanks for the code improvement, but that will still print results from left
to right, top to bottom, i.e. the items ascend left to right in the rows.
I'm not concerned with the actual order that they come out of MySQL in, just
how they're displayed.
Basically, instead of this:
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
I want this:
1 6 11
2 7 12
3 8 13
4 9 14
5 10 15
Thanks again for the help, though.

I'm not sure if you can do that because you have to go row by row when

them the upload progress status...
I don't know how to extract informations about upload progress status and how
to show informations to users. For example I want the users can see 30% of
upload completed, or the MByte just uploaded.
I had some difficulties to write to the list, so I send the mail (with some
modifies in the address) several times;
I apologyze if many mails are sended to the list.
Thanks for help...!

Re: [PHP] Re: Postal / Zip Code Proximity Search
Richard, I just tried performing a search on http://chatmusic.com/venues.htm http://chatmusic.com/venues.htm . All I did was supply my zipcode. I didn't change/supply any other information. My trial just took 15 seconds, and that's pretty damn slow... I don't recall it being that slow though. And the original page took far too long to come up as well, so I suspect there's something wrong somewhere... The load is around 1.25 which is not so hot... The search was really slow. I wanted to ask you what you would attribute the slowness to. What is your architecture?

Re: [PHP] sort problem
ok here we go: Table 1 user_table id points Table 2 reports report_id user_id rating The goal is to associate every user extra 50 points if he has a top 10 report. Top 10 report means the 10 reports with the highest ranking. This value is always changing, thats why I did not include it to the other points. Now that we have the users with the additional points we could add them to the total points of the user and then find out the 5 users with the highest total points.

Re: [PHP] Table Making
Jason, HTML tables will always be displayed left to right, top to bottom. This is why you should ensure that the data from your database table comes out in the right order.

Re: [PHP] Re: Cross-Site Sesison ID Propagation
All ya gotta do is have three invisible GIFs on all three sites that come
from the *other* sites and the GIF does the set_cookie() of whatever their
user ID is.
I'm not sure where you got this idea, but you should investigate
further. A banner ad is usually nothing more than an image, and your
browser will make a complete separate HTTP GET request for that image.
I'm not sure how you interpreted the above paragraph, but it clearly is not
what I intended.
If you control all three domains, or have some access to put code on them,
you can use the images to send the right Cookies from all three domains to
'synchronize' them by embedding the current site's session_id() in the
request from the 'other' sites, and have the 'other' sites send the Cookies
required with the image.
Each site has three IMG SRC=xxx that are requesting GIFs from the other
sites.
The request for the GIF has, in the GET data, the Cookie value you want to
use.
The servers simply spew out the same Cookie value as the original server,
and now they all refer to the same user in a shared database.
When that is the case, there is no way the remote site can read or write
cookies outside of its own domain. They can set cookies from their own
domain, and you might see the cookies warnings on the same page or
whatever, but the domains will definitely be different.
Okay, let me spell it out, since at least some readers are obviously not
getting it.
Assumption #1.
You have access to *some* code on all three servers, and want to maintain
the Session ID the same across all three.
I believe that was the original poster's thesis -- They simply didn't want
to rip apart all the rest of the HTML on all three sites, but could
painlessly insert a few lines of code at the top of all three site's pages.
If, on all three sites, you can auto_prepend (or include) the following
code:
?php
session_start();
$session_id = session_id();
echo IMG SRC=server1.com/session.jpg?session_id=$session_id\n;
echo IMG SRC=server2.com/session.jpg?session_id=$session_id\n;
echo IMG SRC=server3.com/session.jpg?session_id=$session_id\n;
?
Then, on all three servers, have the file session.jpg.
?php
setCookie('PHPSESSIONID', $session_id);
header(Content-type: image/jpg);
readfile('images/invisible.jpg');
?
You can effectively get the 'same' Cookie sent from all three sites.
NOTES:
I probably do not have the name of the Cookie variable, PHPSESSIONDID,
correct.
You may want to write cleaner code with more error-checking. :-) And add
the Content-length.
You'll also need to ForceType session.jpg to be PHP, not JPEG, or rename it
session_jpg.php or something to make the code get executed.
If a user is browsing with no Images, or uses Lynx, it ain't gonna work,
because they'll never request the Image that transfers the Cookie values
from site-to-site.
Obviously, the Session Cookie can now be hijacked more easily, since you are
accepting the value from the Internet. You will want to consider this very
carefully, and insert cross-checks that somebody doesn't 'create' an account
simply by presenting a request to all three servers with their own
home-brewed session ID. It might be best to only GET the GIFs from the
'other' two servers on each server, and cross-check with the original
server's data somehow that the account is valid. If you even care. If
Cookies are simply used to identify the user as the same user, and there's
no particularly private content nor user-customization happening, there's
not much point. Only you and your application can determine this. Think
the security implications through fully. If you're not 100% sure you'll
never ever use the Cookie ID for anything more than convenience as they
travel site-to-site, then you'd better be sure it's not a forgery.
If a user's ID/Session Cookie every changes, you *MUST* re-issue the same
Cookie on all three servers, or you'll get hopelessly out-of-sync. You may
want to use the customized session storage handlers just to be sure you
track this correctly. Search the PHP manual for something not unlike
session_set_handler and you'll find the function I'm talking about.

[PHP] Re: Build-up of MySQL Sessions
I'm running windows 2000 and the latest releases of PHP and MySQL. All
database connections are made with mysql_pconnect(). Connections build
up, however. The only person connecting to this webserver at the moment
is myself. It seems that it opens connections and keeps them open, but
doesn't always reuse them, thus causing it to open new ones. Is this a
bug in mysql_pconnect()? Should I just use mysql_connect()? Any and all
help is appreciated.
Some of this answer uses Un*x-specific terminology. MS, of course, would
never use an industry-standard term, so you may need to translate. And,
there actually is a big difference between process on Un*x and thread
under Windows. However, for the purposes of this discussion, the difference
is *MOOT* so I'm going to pretend they are the same, even when they aren't.
Here's the deal:
When you do mysql_pconnect(), PHP tells MySQL to *KEEP* the connection open.
MySQL keeps the connection open, and, for performance+security reasons,
knows which process opened the connect, and which username/password combo
was used. You see, if MySQL has to change all the stuff related to
username/password, then a lot of the benefit of keeping the old connection
around would be lost. Much of the benefit of the connection is the
construction of some particularly complicated gnarly pieces of data that tie
the connection to a particular username/password.*
* These last two sentences are possibly wildly inaccurate. Maybe even call
them lies. They are particularly useful, though, in that the average user
of PHP/MySQL can believe them and understand them, and cope with the fact
that _pconnect is tied to the username/password, which is just how it is. I
never let facts get in the way of education. YMMV.
When the *SAME* process ('thread' under Win 2K, alright?) with the same
username/password asks the (obviously same) MySQL server to mysql_pconnect()
again, MySQL goes:
Oh, look, here I already *have* the connection open and ready. I don't
need to make another one.
The reason you see multiple connections open is that you have multiple
processes (threads in Win2K), each one holding on to their connection for
their username/password. Actually, MySQL holds on to them *for* the
process, but they are tagged for that process/username/password only. But
some folks find it easier to think of them as being held onto by the HTTP
process. [shrug]
You see, when you asked for your first page, it was HTTP Process # 1s turn
to answer.
Then, on the second page, it was HTTP Process # 2s turn.
Third, maybe it was #3's turn. Or #4's. Who knows?
Maybe you didn't even do mysql_pconnect on your 4th request.
Maybe by the time you asked for the fifth page, #1 was ready again.
Time went by, and different processes answered different HTTP requests.
*EACH* Process, as it does a _pconnect() gets its own persistent
connection left open for it. Indeed, two processes *might* be running
concurrently and *need* two connections open, since you don't want one
connection's data getting mixed up with the other's data. They are both
running at the same time. **
** Purists will point out that the CPU can only do one thing at a time...
Yes, but the *context* for what it is doing, the script that is running, the
data structures/streams required, are all alive in some sense
concurrently, even though the actual CPU is only dealing with one at a time.
The Apache/PHP/MySQL/OS software needs to keep all this crap organized and
different processes separated from each other, and it's easiest to think of
them as running concurrently even when technically they are all taking
turns with the CPU in time slices. Unless, of course, you have multiple
CPUs, in which case this paragraph (and entire post) would get hopelessly
complexified to no real benefit for the average reader.
In time *every* process will have its own persistent connection.
If you are running Apache, you can configure the number of Child processes
and thus control the maximum number of open connections to MySQL. (One per
process/username/password).
If you are running IIS, you are on your own. :-) While I assume there is
some kind of way to configure IIS wrt number of threads/children, I have no
idea, and don't even want to know, how to do it.
Meanwhile, it is abso[bleep]ing critical that your MySQL settings be such
that *IT* does not have fewer connections limited than the number of
persistent connections that your web-server is going to use. In fact, you
want a few extra, so that you can *ALWAYS* use the monitor from the shell to
take down a thrashing, dying, over-loaded MySQL. If you're maxed-out, you
can't even get to MySQL from the shell, and you're in trouble.
Example:
Suppose httpd.conf has a cap of 30 HTTPD child processes.
Then my.conf should have, oh, 35 as a limit on the number of open
connections.
Eventually, each HTTP process will have one (1) connection of its own, and
you'll have a few spares for shell access.

Note that this only hides them from dumber, not dumb :-) Your POST variables and such-like are all visible when doing View Source, which is not particularly tricky, even for the average bear. The better way would be to use HTTP Authentication (search php.net for it). While this could still be sniffed, and I'm sure some real geeks can manage to snag their own username/password out of the browser's RAM, it's much less visible to the average user. If you also do that over HTTPS, you can guarantee that they will not be sniffed in transit from browser to server. Use the POST method instead of GET for submitting forms.

Re: [PHP] Dual Server...
It might be easiest to have: --- default.asp % ' Some ASP I've forgotten that redirects to http://example.com:8080/index.htm % And your real site, on port 8080, served up by Apache, will be fine, so long as the links are absolute, and httpd.conf is configured correctly.

I have Apache and IIS coexisting on my intranet server and the way I set them up was to put each on a different port. (Apache serves http://intranet and IIS serves http://intranet:8080) this appears to work fine. Hope this helps OK following from my thread 'Browser Issues' I have found that when serving the site from apache, that the aforementioned errors go away... mostly... OK so... What is the best way to setup so that IIS/Apache co-exist... I'd like to keep the 'entry' to the site on IIS as we have other sites too... and use apache to serve the content of it.

You know really anoying mailing lists that send you e-mail you don't want Wait... thats called spam... well... to unsubscribe all you have to do is send an email back [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject REMOVE PHP === Can this wonder process things like that Perhaps... You'll might want to tie into Qmail in the, e, Qmail-equivalent of sendmail.conf and add in your unsubscribe.php script as the EXEC (is that what it's called?) for some kind of regex in your spam identifier. I only did something like this once, so have forgotten the details. There are a zillion examples with Perl, though, and there's no real difference from that to doing it with PHP, except the filename ends in .php, not .pl, and then the file itself is PHP and uses the PHP parser instead of Perl. You'll need to put unsubscribe.php in the smrsh directory, and make it executable with #!/path/to/php, the CGI (or CLI now) PHP version you compiled the same way you compiled the Module, only without the --with-apxs Or, perhaps, you'll want to re-direct *ALL* your email to PHP, and write your own spam detector in PHP. Or, perhaps, you don't have access to Qmail at all, and you could build yourself a web-page where you paste in the offending email, with headers, and then PHP does something.

I'm trying to change some information in the header...lets say that User Agent for example...but it just wont change. putenv() will change the User Agent..but nothing else will ? $ua = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;); header(User-Agent: $ua\n, TRUE); header(Accept: */*, TRUE); //putenv(HTTP_USER_AGENT=$ua); echo \nbruser agent: ; echo getenv(HTTP_USER_AGENT); ? You are confusing the headers that your web-server sends *TO* the client, with the headers the server gets *FROM* the user's Browser. You can't upgrade somebody's stupid IE browser to Mozilla just by sending them a new User-Agent header, no matter how attractive a solution it might seem :-) On each HTTP request, their browser composes a User-Agent setting to tell you what Browser they are, and you while you can change the value of the Environment variable that ends up in, it won't change the reality of which broken browser they are using. Exactly why did you think you wanted to do this? Because whatever it is you're trying to do, this for sure is nowhere near the right way to do it. :-) Short description: Each HTTP request and response consists of *TWO* sets of headers -- The browser *SENDS* some headers to the server, and the server sends back some headers and (usually) some content. You can't alter the headers being sent by the browser, though. Well, okay, you can send Cookies, and they'll come back as headers, and you can use HTTP Authentication, and on their second page, the browser uses headers to send back the same username/password they already typed in. But the actual User-Agent and other stuff the browsers tell you, they make up all on their own and send in as headers.

[PHP] Re: Wait/Timeout
Hi!
I've been using PHP to write shell scripts and was wondering how to
implement the following:
- I have a menuing system
- If a user does not give an input within a certain amount of time, I want
it to go to a default value
I checked the PHP functions page and the closest thing I found was sleep
which isn't quite right. I'm sure this is a common thing, so does anyone
have any suggestions? Again, this is a terminal program and not a web CGI.
*MAYBE*, I say just *MAYBE* http://php.net/fgetc will time out and return
false if nothing is typed for long enough... But that's probably too
long for what you need, and you have no control over it.
If you can somehow use fsockopen instead of a fopen, and fool that socket
into being a file using named pipes and redirect, you could *probably* do
much better by then setting the time-out on the socket...
While I have your attention, I also wanted to create one of those spinners
while users wait for longer tasks to complete. I tried using the ncurses
stuff to print and erase characters, but it didn't seem to work. What is a
good way to create a spinner so that users know that the program is
working.
For those who don't know what I mean, I'm thinking of something like...
- (backspace) \ (backspace) | (backspace) / (backspace) etc. etc.
Wild Guess:
?php
$beach_ball = array('-', '\', '|', '/');
$file = fopen('php://stdout', 'w') or die(Could not open stdout);
for ($i = 0; $i 80; $i++){
echo $i, chr(8); # 8 is ^H, right?

[PHP] Re: Script File Permissions
I've been trying and trying to get my site to work lately and all but one part does. Of course that one part is the most important part (it always is). My problem is probably rather simple to most of you, but I don't know how to get around it: My script does not have permissions to write/append files or just flat out create the files; it can read any files (accessed files//nameoffile.xml). Originally I was working with text files, but that didn't work either (and had the exact same problems). So my question is this: how do I get my script to have permissions to write or append to any file? Your question should be more like: How do I get specific files to be readable/writeable by PHP? The only way to get any arbitrary file readable/writeable by PHP is to run PHP (ie, Apache) as 'root' and that's just plain stupid. Under Un*x, you can do: chmod 766 filename and then PHP will be able to read/write it. NOTE: So will *ANY* other user on the same system using PHP/Perl/whatever!!! You do *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* *NOT* want world-write-able files in your web-tree. Put them in your home directory, *NEXT* to 'htdocs' or 'www' or 'web' or whatever they called the directory where you stick your HTML files. Use a full pathname to access the file. If you don't know the pathname, you can do: pwd to figure it out. If you can't SSH (or telnet) [is any ISP dumb enough to still allow telnet?] in to your server, then you *might* be able to use your FTP client to alter a file's permissions. If you are on Windows, the same principles apply, but the permissions system changed from version to version, and in some cases, you're just screwed because there are no sensible alternatives to set the permissions of a file. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You will not be able to measure the difference until you have a zillion of

Both do the same thing and are legit but wondering
which is better from an optimization standpoint (NOT
interested in readability or *proper* code here)
Why not?!
It's *FAR* more important than raw performance 90% of the time!
Optimize the code that's slow, don't try to write all code at maximum
performance.
If we really needed all code at maximum performance, we'd all still be

[PHP] Re: multi dimensional arrays / radio buttons / mass confusion on my part
Ok.. what I have is a database of first names and last names, and some other
columns that don't matter here.
A form is presented to a user, lets them enter a bunch of names, attributes
of the person, etc.
After submission, each record is checked against the current database to see
if the name currently exists, or names similar to it exist.
If so, it gives the option of either:
a) entering the new record
or
b) selecting one of the existing records
Okay, here's one thing:
Why make me type all the crap in for somebody who might already be there?
It would be much better human interface to first let me know who's missing
before I go typing in all that stuff for the players already input.
I'm assuming LW and RW are, like, Left Wing and Right Wing in soccer or
hockey or something, right?
A team roster is going to be, what, 30 records at most?
Show me the current list and let me choose whom to edit, and give me a New
Player button.
Example:
Enter your names, positions:
Joe Schmoe, LW
Random Guy, RW
(submit button)
After DB check for existing users:
Found:
() Joey Schmoe Click radio button to se this record
() Create New Record
No matches found for Random Guy, must be a new user.
(submit button)
My problem is keeping this data consistent form by form, and updating the
data when an existing record is selected instead of creating a new one (the
existing data needs to go into another table, so I need to grab the user id
# of the existing record, etc)
Any thoughts on how to approach this? After the first form, should I make a
multi-dimensional array, and have the second form update/change the elements
of it? I haven't used any PHP arrays in this yet, just been messing with
the HTML form array stuff..
Sorry if this is confusing.. if any part needs clarification, please let me
know.
If there are only a few fields, and not too many rows, one thing I
frequently do is display them with User IDs and then use 'NULL' as the ID
for a New Record, and have code something like this:
?php
require 'connect.inc'; # This just has one line $connection =
mysql_connnect('localhost', 'user', 'pass'); in it.
# Handle any FORM input:
if (isset($lastname)){
while (list($id, $ln) = each($lastname)){
$fn = $firstname[$id];
# Other fields the same way $xx = $[$id];
if ($id == NULL || $id == 'NULL' ($fn || $ln)){
# New Player, but only if they've filled in a name:
$query = insert into players (firstname, $lastname, ...)
values('$fn', '$ln', ...);
}
else{
$query = update players set firstname = '$fn', lastname = '$ln',
... where players_id = $id;
}
$update = mysql_query($query, $connection) or
error_log(mysql_error());
}
}
# Display FORM
$query = select players_id, firstname, lastname from players order by
lastname, firstname;
$players = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while (list($id, $fn, $ln) = mysql_fetch_row($players)){
echo TR\n;
echo TDINPUT NAME=lastname[$id] VALUE=', htmlentities($ln),
'/TD\n;
echo TDINPUT NAME=firstname[$id] VALUE=', htmlentities($fn),
'/TD\n;
# More fields here. They can be Radio buttons or whatever, of course.
echo /TR\n;
}
# Output a row for a New Player:
echo TR\n;
echo TDBNEW:/BINPUT NAME=lastname[NULL]/TD\n;
echo TDINPUT NAME=firstname[NULL]/TD\n;
# More fields here. They can be Radio buttons or whatever, of course.
echo /TR\n;
echo /TABLE/FORM\n;
?
Now, this is not going to win any awards for Design or anything, but for a
busy admin to have everything in one place to fill in all the crap and see
all of it is very handy.
It also means that when (not if) they forget to update 'Joe Schmoe', they'll
see his record when they go to add in 'Betsy Buick' -- which means they just
might notice that it's out of date and fix it at the same time.
This simply gets unwieldy, though, if there are a ton of records, or too
many fields...
Still, I'm making the wild guess that for a team roster this is going to be
fine...
You can also output 5 or even 10 rows of the New row, if they frequently
have to put in a lot of players at once, but then you need to give them
*DIFFERENT* 'key' values inside the [], and change the if ($id == NULL ||
$id == 'NULL' ...) part to be more complex:
if (strstr($id, 'NULL') ($fn[$id] || $ln[$id])){
.
.
.
# Output five rows for a New Player:
for ($i = 1; $i = 5; $i++){
echo TR\n;
echo TDBNEW:/BINPUT NAME=lastname[NULL$i]/TD\n;
echo TDINPUT NAME=firstname[NULL$i]/TD\n;
# More fields here. They can be Radio buttons or whatever, of course.
echo /TR\n;
}

Re: [PHP] Script File Permissions
I hope that I can get permissions, but I bet you're right. Probably just have to create a database, which I planned on doing (and know how to). I really did want to use XML though, oh well. Using a database does not in any way, shape, or form preclude you from using XML. XML is just text. Databases store text very nicely. Some databases even claim to understand XML internally. I have no direct knowledge of the validity of such claims. If you think it would be better in a database, you are probably correct, and you probably should stop using files immediately. Otherwise, you will almost for sure find yourself dealing with race conditions and other gnarly stuff that is taken care of in the database.

Re: [PHP] $_REQUEST???
Considering all of this... Would it be better simply to turn
register_globals = On if the vast majority of the stuff you have on your
site is simple search engine type stuff and/or GET variables?
That's the reason why register_globals was originally ON.
Actually, going way back, I don't think you could even turn it OFF at all...
It's just *S* convenient.
Considering the fact that anyone can forge GET, POST, cookies, is there
really any purpose in turning register_globals = Off ??
*YES*
Consider the following (stupid but common) code:
?php
if (valid_user($PHP_AUTH_USER, $PHP_AUTH_PW)){
$valid = 1;
}
.
.
.
if ($valid){
# SECRET stuff here
}
?
Now, with register globals on, if I visit:
http://example.com/valid=1
Game Over.
In theory, nobody would ever have a variable they were using that was
uninitialized because they set error_reporting to E_ALL (like they should)
and they completely test every line of code and branch of logic in their
application (like they should)...
Here in the Real World, there are a zillion scripts out there by
non-programmers (hey, PHP *is* that easy!) and they have Security Holes like
this in them.
Some of these are (or at least were) in widely-distributed third-party PHP
applications, as I understand it. :-(
Turning register_globals ON will make the above hack to pass in $valid
through GET as a global not work. Stops the hack cold, because $valid
isn't allowed to sneak in through the URL any more.
You could say register_globals OFF increases the security of a
badly-written application :-)
This register_globals has *nothing* to do with global in functions, just
in case the terminology is making anybody think they're the same thing.
They're not. Not related at all.
If you're an expert programmer and you *NEVER* make the mistake of using an
uninitialized variable, then by all means, turn register_globals on and live
happily ever after writing code without all those pesky $_GET and $_POST, or
$_REQUEST if you want to treat both GET and POST data the same for a
particular variable.
If you've ever made a single mistake in your life, leave register_globals
OFF and get used to the new paradigm. :-)
For the record, $_GET and/or globals are *NOT* filtered in any way, shape,
or form by PHP. If they *were* filtered somehow by PHP, there is *NO*
reason that filter could not be applied in either paradigm.
It is entirely UP TO YOU to validate the incoming data as kosher, whatever
kosher means in the context of your application, and at the level of
Security is acceptable risk to your organization, application, boss, and
self-pride.
Alas, PHP really *CANNOT* filter your incoming data, since there's simply no
way for PHP to know what is or isn't kosher. Think about it. Try to write
a generic data-validating system. It gets very messy, very fast, and it
just can't be applied across the board to arbitrary data. You have to know,
at a minimum, some business-logic specific information about the data.
register_globals OFF *ONLY* stops the hack of somebody over-riding an
un-initialized variable with whatever value they choose. This is NOWHERE
NEAR sufficient for you to TRUST data coming from the big, bad, Internet.
Disclaimer: I originally argued against register_globals OFF as default,
for various reasons (not least of which is the traffic on this list from
this change), and I still have it ON in many places because I actually *DO*
always initialize variables. It's just an ingrained habit with me, and I
daresay there truly are no uninitialized variables floating around in my
personally-written code. Can't say the same for any third-party code I've
installed (not much) and I *should* migrate to register_globals OFF, but
I've got a *LOT* of code to fix, and there's no maintenance budget for any
of it...

[PHP] Re: How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
Hi, I am trying to import some tables from a dump file into a MySQL database
from a php web page. What is the best way to do this without using backticks
(fpassthru, system, exec or something else) and test for success or failure?
I tried the following and while it works, my test for success or failure
always produces a Success even when I change something to make it fail. I
thought system() outputs the last line of the command on success and FALSE
on failure. Any examples appreciated.
The FALSE on failure is if PHP completely fails to execute the command at
all. This is a rather rare condition.
PHP is quite happy to execute commands that fail (whatever that means) and
return the last line of their output which may, or may not, contain an error
message you could detect, though, and as far as PHP is concerned, it did not
fail to execute the command. That your command didn't do what you wanted,
or that the command itself failed, is not a failure on the part of PHP, if
you see what I mean.
However, you may want to use exec() and get the full output, as well as the
OS error code, if any, returned by MySQL and then you'd know for sure what
happened.
?php
$status = system(mysql -umyuserid -pmypassword mydbname
/path/to/mydumpfile.txt);
if($status == 'FALSE'){
echo 'Failed';
} else {
echo 'Success';
}

Re: [PHP] Function source?
No, they are written in C. And yes, you can of course download the C source code from php.net. If you are interested in a particular PHP function, there's even a really nice interface at http://cvs.php.net that lets you look at it without downloading the whole darn thing. VERY nice. You don't even really really have to know a lot of geeky things to understand it, so long as you're willing to just ignore the parts you don't understand, and peck away at what you do understand :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
But if system() thinks it is a success because the command executed, even though MySQL returns an internal error on the command line, why is'nt the last line of the MySQL error message stored in the variable as the system() manual suggests it should be when system() thinks it is a success? *MAYBE* system() only catches stdout, and not stderr... Though I doubt it. Is there a blank line at the end of the MySQL error output when you do it wrong in the shell? Use the exec() I just posted and get *ALL* your output, *AND* the actual OS error (or 0) code returned. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: shtml php in the same file?
I'm working on this site that is all shtml files... in order to add some dynamic content, it just includes php scripts in different places. However, sessions don't work unless you start it before outputting anything to the server and that's what's needed now... I don't want to change all the links to end in .php and do the includes in php just so I can put ? session_start(); ? at the beginning of all the pages. So I was trying to get the server to treat shtml files as both server-parsed and as php scripts. Not working too well. ;) Anyone have any ideas? You can't get Apache 1.x to treat the file as both SSI and PHP. Period. You could just make the first line of each file do whatever magic you do to include PHP, and then it would be something not unlike: --- foo.shtml -- !-- #EXEC session.inc --! More HTML and SSI here. I *THINK* if you do this, and have ?php session_start();? in the session.inc file, it will work... I'm assuming there is no output to the browser by the !-- #EXEC -- bit. I'm also quite likely not doing SSI right, since I abandoned SSI for PHP very rapidly. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Exporting mySQL Table Data to .csv
I use phpMyAdmin which enables me to take dump of
mySQL Table Data into Comma Seperated Values file
(.csv)
Now, i have to create such a program that accomplishes
this, without using phpMyAdmin. Can someone guide me
to this procedure..
Since PHP has a fget_csv function (or something like that) odds are pretty
good it can write CSV as well.
If not, and *IF* you can do tab-delimited instead (*MUCH* easier) and just
as easy to suck in on the other end, you can do:
?php
require 'connect.inc';
$query = select * from mytable;
$rows = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while ($row = msyql_fetch_row($rows)){
$tab_delimited = implode(\t, $row);
echo $tab_delimited, \n; // Or you can write to a file, or whatever.
}
?
If you *MUST* use CSV, not tab-delimited, I *THINK* this will work:
?php
require 'connect.inc';
$query = 'select * from mytable';
$rows = mysql_query($query, $connection) or error_log(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($rows)){
while (list(,$value) = $row){
if (strstr($value, ',') || strstr($value, '')){
$value = str_replace('', '', $value);
$value = str_replace(',', ',', $value);
$value = \$value\;
$output_row[] = $value;
}
echo implode(',', $output_row), \n;
}
}

[PHP] Re: strange php output
I'm trying to do a little trick with my new site. i have one main php
script, index.php which includes the header and footer scripts and the
page script between them. the page script is determined by $page, which
is set to main if it doesnt exist already. $page . .php is then
included. I have one other page so far, datetime.php. I wanted to
let datatime run itself by including the headers and footers on its own
if it wasnt included by index.php. so, i add this to the top and
similar code at the bottom (replaced header with footer):
?
if (!$page==datetime) // Not using index.php
{
include(header.php);
}
?
The !$page probably happens before the ==, so you are testing !$page (true
or false) being equal to datetime...
You may or may not want to use something more like:
?php
if (!strstr($PHP_SELF, 'datetime')){
include 'header.php';
}
?
I personally, though, would have *three* files.
One, datetime.inc would do the work.
index.htm would include 'datetime.inc'
datetime.htm would also include 'datetime.inc'
I think this will be less confusing to you a year later when you have to
maintain this code.

[PHP] Re: Storing values in Session
I want to add a set of values to the session variable $BOOKS. This is the
code which I used.
if($BOOKS==)
{
#this seems to be the first book which the user has selected
$BOOKS = $bookid; #this param comes from the URL
}
else
{
$BOOKS = $BOOKS+,+$bookid;
}
Here the 'if..' part gets executed, and because of that I cannot add details
of another book. I have initialised the session and added the registered the
value BOOKS in the previous page.
Did you call session_start() in this page?
Cuz if not, like, PHP doesn't know you want to use the session variables
from the other page.
Also, it's not + to concatenate strings in PHP. It's .
$BOOKS = $BOOKS . , . $bookid;
And, what's more, you can shorten $foo = $foo . xxx to:
$foo .= xx
So, in your case, it's:
$BOOKS .= , . $bookid;
And, since you can bury variable in strings and work, even go with:
$BOOKS .= ,$bookid;
You might, however, want to turn $BOOKS into an array anyway:
$BOOKS[] = $bookid;
But you'll need to read up on arrays to use them.

[PHP] Re: cookie ( still not working )
i simpley put an cookie with :
setcookie(gfo_cms ,$sessid , '');
That's wrong.
You should be passing a TIME in for the third argument, or nothing at all.
Also, due to an IE bug, if you *DO* pass in a TIME, you *MUST* also pass in
a non-empty path.
'/' will be fine.
So, if you want a 'session' Cookie, use:
setcookie('gfo_cms', $sessid);
If you want it to expire, use:
setcookie('gfo_cms', $sessid, time() + 60*60*24*30, '/');
Oh, and for Vins, PHP sessions *USE* cookies, so you're no better off with
them *UNLESS* you --enable-trans-sid or you stuff the session_id() into
every URL/FORM.
?
if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[gfo_cms])) {
$sessid = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[gfo_cms];
if (!check_valid_sessid($sessid)) {
login_form();
}
if (!check_ip($sessid, $REMOTE_ADDR)) {
login_form();
}
$rights = get_user_rights($sessid);
$user_id = get_userid_from_sessid($sessid);
}
This might as well be else -- it will be less cluttered that way.
if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[gfo_cms])) {
login_form();
}
?
the last code looks if the cookie exists ...
but it look likes it won't even create the cookie
Use your browser Preferences to select Cookie Ask every time so that when
you do or don't send a Cookie from your own site, you'll know what you're
getting.
You'll want to turn it off before real surfing again, though, since some
sites send a zillion cookies on every damn page, no matter how silly that
is. Sigh.

Re: [PHP] strange stuff in a class

The problem hier is that $globals['test2'] is a copy of

Use $GLOBALS rather than $globals
I think he's building his own pool of objects for object-management in
$globals, rather than trying to set the value of $test2...
And mucking directly with $GLOBALS is morally wrong :-)
global $test2;
$test2 = $this;
if that's what you wanted to do, which I don't think it is.
Of course, you *will* need:
global $globals;
if you expect this code to do anything useful.

[PHP] Re: Wildcard
IÂ’m trying to figure out how to do a search trough a MySQL db using LIKE
or = but the thing is that I have 3 select boxes from where to choose
the search terms. Can I use something like a wildcard instead of making
several IF statements like this?
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE col1 = value1 AND col2 = value2 AND col3
= %
% goes for an unselected select box (default value = %) in case the user
doesnÂ’t want to make an *advanced* search, so it fetches all rows which
does contains values 1 2.
Here is what I would do, if I was doing what I think you're doing, which I'm
not at all sure of...
?php
$query = select col1, col2, ... from table_name where 1 = 1 ;
if (isset($value1)){
$query .= and col1 = $value1 ;
}
if (isset($value2)){
$query .= and col2 = $value2 ;
}
if (isset($value3)){
$query .= and col3 = $value3 ;
}
mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
?
The where 1 = 1 technique is a sort of yeast to allow all the subsequent
parts to start with and ...
If you change to OR ... then you need where 1 = 0
Think about it or work through an example to see why :-)

Re: [PHP] Re: cookie ?
Do you remember to reload the page after the cookie is sent? (some browser cant see the cookie at the page it sent but first after it have been reloaded!). Actualy this is not browser issue but PHP issue No, that's just how cookies work. PHP can't get a cookie from the browser before you send it. In slow-motion: 1. Browser asks for URL 2. PHP sends cookie to browser 3. PHP sends HTML page to browser 4. Browser renders page. 5. User clicks to new URL 6. Browser sends cookie with request for new URL 7. PHP gets cookie with request for new URL PHP *CANNOT* get a cookie the browser never got, and thus never sent back, until step 7. Oh yeah: The stuff about using time/directory is an IE bug. You can supply *BOTH* time and directory, but not just time. This is not the way the Cookie spec reads, but Microsoft never reads specs properly, much less implements them properly, mostly on purpose. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

while (list($title, $size, $price) = mysql_fetch_row($products)){
echo TRTD$title/TDTD$size/TDTD$price/TD/TR\n;
}
echo /TABLE\n;

[PHP] Re: cookies
Nope thats not they way
If you don't specify a expire date it will live for ever or until you delete
it.
The only way is to set it with an expiry date and then it will delete
it'self when the browser closes.
Check this by running a file on the same domain with phpinfo();
No.
If you send no expiration date, it expires when the browsers are all closed.
Read the Cookie spec.
Not that MS actually got all of the Cookie spec correct, but they got that
part right.
To erase a cookie, just do:

Two Comments:
The alternate syntax with the colons is passe -- I think you'd have to dig
pretty deep to find a script old enough that uses it for anything other than
demonstration purposes. (Rasmus?)
You don't *HAVE* to have {} for one-line clauses, but sooner or later,
you'll end up adding a line, and then the whole thing will puke on you
because you don't have {}... Thus, it is morally wrong to not have {} in
all your code. This is a religious issue, and others will disagree.

[PHP] Re: Images in Mysql
the web server, how should the image be named [uniquely]? The problem is
that if the user specifes the name of the image file, there's a chance
he'll name another one the same way (and thus overwrite the original). I
was thinking of maybe a dual approach, where the user gives the image
file a name, but then the PHP script appends, say, the table name and
record ID--so as to make the filename unique.
What I do is this:
?php
# Get rid of gnarly characters in filenames:
$filename = ereg_replace('[^a-zA-Z0-9_\\.-]', '', $photo_name);
# If their filename was so messed up that there's nothing left, give it a
random name.
$filename = $filename ? $filename : chr(rand(ord('A'),ord('Z'))) .
chr(rand(ord('A'),ord('Z'))) . chr(rand(ord('A'),ord('Z'))) .
chr(rand(ord('A'),ord('Z')));
# Now be sure it's unique:
$appendix = '';
# break the filename up into 'whatever' and '.jpg' (or '.gif' or whatever
it is)
# In order to force uniqueness (below) I want to change 'duplicate.jpg'
into 'duplicate2.jpg', not 'duplicate.jpg2' :-)
$extpos = strrpos($filename, '.');
# echo extpos is $extposBR\n;
if (!$extpos){
$extension = '';
}
else{
$extension = substr($filename, $extpos);
$filename = substr($filename, 0, $extpos);
}
$pathname = $directory/$filename$appendix$extension;
# echo extension $extensionBR\n;
# echo filename $filenameBR\n;
# echo appendix $appendixBR\n;
# echo pathname $pathnameBR\n;
while (file_exists($pathname)){
# It's kinda hacky to ++ the empty string, but it avoids tacking on '0'
# to filenames that were fine as they were...
$appendix++;
$pathname = $directory/$filename$appendix$extension;
# echo extension $extensionBR\n;
# echo filename $filenameBR\n;
# echo appendix $appendixBR\n;
# echo pathname $pathnameBR\n;
}
if (move_uploaded_file($photo, $pathname)){
# Success!

That is content which PHP had to send to the browser. Now, once PHP has to send content to the browser, it had to send all the headers first, then a blank line, then the content. Pretty much, that's why headers are called headers -- They come at the head of the HTML, with a blank line in between. Once all that went out to the browser, you can't call header() function, because, like, the train has left the station.

[PHP] Re: Question about PHP
Hi, I am not sure if it is a right email address to ask question, if it is not plz disregard this email :) if it is this is my Q: I am reading a book about php, in its security section, it says it is more secure, as well as more efficient when installing PHP, to install PHP as a SAPI module for your Web server that to run it via the CGI interface do you know how can I do that? what is SAPI? Thank you for your time It's definitely more efficient. A case could be made for times when using PHP as a CGI (via suExec) could be more secure for doing certain kinds of things, though. I'm not at all there there's any real security difference from Module/CGI even without the caveats. Anyway, a SAPI allows PHP to live like a wart on the back of the web server. So, like, it becomes a part *OF* the web-server which is *already* running, and waiting to serve up web pages, and if PHP is already there, it just calls the main PHP function to start doing PHP. There is ISAPI for IIS, and ASAPI for Apache and so on. API is A-something Programming Interface or some such, and it's just a fancy acronym for saying we designed a logical reasonable set of functions that you can use to interact with our software without going crazy trying to figure out all the gory details inside I think the S part is for Server. Anyway, for Apache, you just configure it --with-apxs (or --with-apache, but that's less fun) instead of the php binary in /usr/local/bin. You also configure httpd.conf with the LoadModule and AddHandler instead of the Action. (Action is for CGI) For IIS, you use the php4nts.dll or something like that and make it a filter (MicrosoftIsm for Module) instead of the php.exe For other web-servers, it's pretty much the same idea, though I got no clue how to configure them... If you're stuck with one of them, and no PHP examples are coming up, find a Perl example, and do everything the same, only plug in PHP where it says Perl. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm just curious if there's a function that allows you to see how many lines

flines($fp) that I haven't noticed at php.net?
If it's a relatively small file, it might be a little faster to do:
?php
$file = file(filename.txt or die(Could not open file);
echo count($file);
?
It will suck the whole file into an array of lines faster than you can do

The data for the page includes product images, which I am trying to link to (i.e. from their location on the web server) instead of loading the images into the database. However, I cannot find any sample code that seems to work. Two questions: There's tons of it out there... Though, I admit *finding* the working sample can be tough :-) 1. Is this possible (i.e. to store the HYPERLINK to the image in the database , and as the results are returned to the product detail screen, the image file will be displayed)? OR RATHER do I need to store the physical image file in the database location and query it that way? Not only do you not need to store the image data in the db, it's a Bad Idea (tm), as often discussed here. 2. The code sample below contains several lines that show a field populated with text that I am returningthe line under the //Test comment is the field that I'm trying to pull an image back for: printf(REL_PLAN7: %sbr\n, mysql_result($result,0,REL_PLAN7)); printf(REL_PLAN8: %sbr\n, mysql_result($result,0,REL_PLAN8)); printf(REL_PLAN9: %sbr\n, mysql_result($result,0,REL_PLAN9)); //test printf(mysql_result($result,0,a href=FRONT_RENDFRONT_REND/a); NOTE: FRONT_REND is the name of the database field, and it contains a full web address, not relative. H. Try to think of it this way. PHP just spews out HTML. I need to spew out the HTML for my web-browser to display an image. That HTML looks like: IMG SRC=blahblahblah.jpg Or, if you want a link to that image, you'd use: A HREF=blahblahblah.jpgFront Rendering/A (or something like that) So, your code should be something not unlike: printf(IMG SRC=%s, mysql_result($result, 0, 'FRONT_REND')); or perhaps you want: printf(A HREF='%s'Front Rendering/A, mysql_result($result, 0, 'FRONT_REND')); That said, let me point out a few Big Picture issues. printf is incredibly useful for spitting out highly-detailed formatted text, but it's also a bit slower than echo. So, really, echo is probably going to be a better work-horse for you in the long run. Secondly, calling mysql_result() over and over and over instead of mysql_fetch_row() once... Well, that's a lot slower. So, ideally, your code should look more like: # Maybe in a while loop, maybe not... list($plan7, $plan8, $plan9, $front_rend) = mysql_fetch_row($result); echo $plan7BR\n; echo $plan8BR\n; echo $plan9BR\n; echo IMG SRC='$front_rend'BR\n; echo A HREF='$font_rend'Front Rendering/ABR\n; You might even have THUMBNAIL path in your database, as well as a FULLSIZE path for your images: echo A HREF='$fullsize'IMG SRC='$thumbnail'/ABR\n; -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Help with Configure Options
I am thinking of moving PHP-based web site to a new server. In doing my due diligence, I see that the new server has some different PHP configure options. I was able to make sense of most of them by looking through the PHP web site. But I'm still stumped by some of them. I'm hoping people here can tell me what they mean: --enable-libgcc: I found the 1-line explanation on www.php.net, but I'm unclear as to the implications of this option. Can anyone explain? I think it specifically tells gcc to link with the right thing, even though that's what it's going to do anyway... Unless you're using some really funky set up with weird things going on... --enable-pic: likewise. What does this mean? PIC has something to do with compilation issues... I think you can almost always ignore this one. --enable-inline-optimization: ?? If your computer is a *REAL* dog and has no RAM and no swap space, you can use this to get PHP to compile... It will take *FOREVER*, but it will work. Otherwise, the compiler might puke on you claiming you don't have enough RAM or something. --with-regex=system: the online docs say this is deprecated. Could this cause me trouble? YES!!! Big Trouble. Your OS has a Regex built-in to it. PHP has a Regex in it as well. Apache has a Regex in it as well. *IF* you forced Apache to use the OS Regex and not its own, and *IF* you force PHP to use the System Regex and not its own, you just *MIGHT* be okay, only you'll be using a Regex not quite like anybody else on the planet trying to help you will think you're using, and a lot of third-party code will break and some of the more complicated examples won't work, and... Short answer: Don't do it. --with-flex: ? Wild Guess: I suppose if you really worked at it you could put bison and flex and all that crap into some really weird place where ./configure won't be able to find it, and then you could use this to tell PHP where the hell you put flex... --with-png: I know what PNG is, but I don't know hat this option does. Tells GD that you not only want GD, but you want GD to be able to actually create/manipulate PNG files. --with-gd all by itself is useless. (Okay of limited use) You gotta also say if you want PNG and/or JPEG and/or whatever else GD can do this week. Ditto for PDF and Flash and so on, I think. You are kinda stuck using the same answer (Yes, I want PNG) for any packages that have PNG as an optional plug-in... I think. It also lets you tell PHP where the hell you installed PNG, which is important. --with-layout=GNU: I see the explanation in the docs, but I don't know if this has any implications for me as a PHP programmer. Probably not. I never used it. I think it just changes where PHP is going to install all the files it creates when it's done. If you leave it alone, you'll be the way most examples and tutorials expect you to be. If you mess with it, you'll have to translate any tutorials into your own setup. For all of these, leave them alone, and let ./configure do the usual, unless you *REALLY* know what you are doing, or just want to learn some very arcane stuff. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm Off-Topic: What is the moral equivalent of 'cat' in Windows? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: is their a jobs mailing list?
But I found nothing about a jobs mailing list. I'm really a Perl programmer and we have jobs.perl.org which has a list which does a really good job. There used to be a nifty jobs database tied into php.net, but I think it was not getting utilized well, and the original author ended up having less time for maintenance than he'd hoped, and... Meanwhile, back at the ranch, scroll to the bottom of this link, which I found by searching php.net for Jobs (whole site, not just function names): http://www.php.net/links.php I dunno about these days, but I would hazard a guess that Job Openings would be kinda nifty, whereas people posting resumes would be pretty damned annoying. Just my opinion, and I haven't been back long enough to know for sure :-) As far as those plotting to *BUILD* a PHP jobs application, I'll throw out some comments to the wind: 1. Since there used to be such a best on php.net, and it seems to have gone, I can only surmise that PHP Developers are not *opposed* to the idea, but I suspect they will be leery of repeating whatever went wrong the first time around. I'd hazard a guess that it was (1) lack of a dedicated maintainer to develop it, and/or (2) lack of actual JOBS AVAILABLE postings. You may even be in a situation where it's more of a you build it first and then we'll believe it from the PHP Dev team given the history... THIS IS JUST A GUESS I AM NOT ON THE TEAM I COULD BE 100% WRONG AND OFTEN AM!!! Usually because the PHP Dev guys are just plain way nicer than I am :-) 2. This is a *HUGE* project you're suggesting. *HUGE*. If you don't have real experience in a Project this *HUGE* you really have no idea what you are biting off, and it's going to choke you. 3. There are a ton of job sites out there and some even let you plug in PHP as a known technology, and some of those are even aggressively managed/marketed by head-hunter-like industry people who are working this thing to the bone. What is really going to drive the traffic to the PHP version? I think the old one got few JOBS AVAILABLE, so got few Developers, so never really took off. It would be another MONUMENTAL task to take on the duty of enticing Job Posters to use it. Don't get me wrong -- I'd love for a really good jobs.php.net to exist with tons of work for everybody (self included). But really think this one through before you start folks, and do some basic homework about why the previous incarnation disappeared. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No, I just tested it myself - if you set a cookie with no expire date it
exists until the browser window is closed.
My code:
?php
if (!isset($_COOKIE['TestCookie']))
{
setcookie (TestCookie, FUD);
echo Just Set a cookie - reload the page;
}
else
{
echo Cookie is : {$_COOKIE['TestCookie']}brClose the window then
return
and the cookie should be gone;

Nope thats not they way
If you don't specify a expire date it will live for ever or until you
delete
it.
The only way is to set it with an expiry date and then it will delete
it'self when the browser closes.
Check this by running a file on the same domain with phpinfo();

Re: [PHP] sort problem
If he has a top-ten report... is that a one-off thing? Or is it a weekly thing? Or is that every time his report get's into the top ten (in which case hovering around 10-11 would be the best bet!!)?? You need to decide WHEN the user is awarded the 50 points for being in the top ten. For example, if this was judged weekly, then you could write a small script which is run weekly, awarding 50 points to the user_id's in the top 10 ratings... easy, but what happens to the guy who had something in there for Sun-Thur, and you run the job on Friday? Not good. Or perhaps the points are awarded each time the top 10 changes... can't imagine why!! Yuk! Or maybe you can only be awarded the 50 points ONCE, the FIRST time you're in the top ten, in which case, I'd add a 4th field to Table reports, flagging it as once a top ten, and apply the 50 points at that point. Like I said, you need to define when this happens, so that we can figure out the best way... or perhaps you'll figure it out for yourself after you have a think about WHEN the 50 points are applied. Justin French on 11/07/02 7:30 PM, andy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: ok here we go: Table 1 user_table id points Table 2 reports report_id user_id rating The goal is to associate every user extra 50 points if he has a top 10 report. Top 10 report means the 10 reports with the highest ranking. This value is always changing, thats why I did not include it to the other points. Now that we have the users with the additional points we could add them to the total points of the user and then find out the 5 users with the highest total points.

Re: [PHP] Table Making
I hate to think what sort of a burden this would place on ther server, but... You could always find out how many rows there are, then run individual queries for each cell of the table. In other words, to achieve this layout: 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9 You would do queries in this order: 1 4 7 2 5 8 3 6 9 Like I said, I shudder at the thought of how much this would load the server (especially on large rows (lots of fields) or large tables (lots of rows = lots of queries)), but if the layout is imperative, then maybe this is an option... I can't see why you can't run it as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Cheers, Justin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Not really; a string is better described as a type that has some
properties in common with the array type. Consider these two examples:
?
$str = Hello World!;
$str = array_reverse($str);
echo ($str);
?
?
$str = Hello World!;

[PHP] session_start and HTTP headers in Mozilla, plz help
Hi!
I've run across a problem when using session_start and HTTP headers in
Mozilla. I'm trying to write a snippet of code that checks whether a
user has logged in or not. If the user has a session variable set I want
to display the page and if he or she hasn't I want to give them a 403
Forbidden header. My current code looks like this:
[top of page]
?php
// Start session handling
session_start();
// Check login
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[xyz])
and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[xyz] == yes) {
?
html
[page contents]
/html
?php
}
else {
header(HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden);
}
?
[end of page]
This works perfectly in IE 6 (I get a 403 Error Message) but in Mozilla
I just get an empty page (containing just the html and head tags).
Most other headers seem to work though.
If I use header(Location: somepage.php) both Mozilla and IE correctly
redirects the browser. I don't know if it's a bug in IE or Mozilla or if
I'm plain stupid, but perhaps someone else has experienced this and
are willing to give me a hint?

RE: [PHP] Table Making
This is one way of doing it:
- calculate how many rows are needed given the total number of records
(mysql_num_rows()) and how many columns you want.
- loop through all records and store them in a two-dimensional array
starting at arr[0][0] to arr[maxrows][0] and then increment the 'column' and
store arr[0][1] to arr[maxrows][1] etc.
- loop through the array the other way round and create the html-table. So
start with arr[0][0] to arr[0][4] etc.
Make any sense?
Another way of doing it is to use mysql_data_seek() to jump back and forth
in the result set.

Subject: [PHP] Table Making
I'm driving myself crazy trying to visualize what I want to
do, so I thought
I'd share the insanity and hope for some advice.
I have this nice piece of code to take my SQL result and
organize it into a
nice 5 column table:
print centertable width=\100%\ border=\0\\n; //start table
$i=0; //define variable - avoid errors
$grad_year=;//define variable - avoid errors
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
extract($row);
$i++;
if($i==1) {
print tr\n; //start table row on $i = 1
}
printf(td align=\center\a
href=\year.asp?year=%s\%s/abr/td\n, $grad_year, $grad_year);
//print links
if ($i==5) {
print /tr\n; //end table row on $i = 5
to get 5 columns
$i=0; //reset $i
}
$grad_year=; //clear $grad_year
}
if ($i5) print /tr\n; //end any rows with less than 5 columns
print /table/centerp\n; //end table
---END
Now, this works great for most things - it takes my SQL
results and puts
them in a table sequentially, from left to right, top to
bottom. So in this
case, the top-left cell displays 1941, the top-right cell
displays 1945,
the next row starts with 1946 on the left and goes to
1950 on the right,
and so on.
What I want is rather than sorting left to right, top to
bottom, I want to
sort top to bottom, left to right. So the top-left would
still be 1941,
but rather than increasing to the right, it would increase down, then
continue at the top of the next column.
I'm thinking this might be an easy thing to do with some
creative use of $i
and print, but I just can't think it out. I'm guessing $i
would be used to
limit the amount of items in a column... But, I'm in need of
some guidance
to get it right. I can't even begin to think where to start.
Any help would
be great - thanks!

// do stuff here if true

[PHP] MS SQL Server and ODBC
I am attempting to connect to a MSSQL 2000 database from a linux box. I have installed freetds successfully and configured php with sybase as directed by freetds. I configured the freetds .conf file. However this is where I have questions. The freetds.conf file only asks for the ip address of the database server. I have mulitple databases on my database server. How do I specify the database that I'm trying to reach? Are there any configuration flags that I could be missing to use odbc_connect, etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Top 10 report means the 10 reports with the highest ranking. This value is always changing, thats why I did not include it to the other points. Now that we have the users with the additional points we could add them to the total points of the user and then find out the 5 users with the highest total points. There are probably a couple ways to do this. This is the one that hits me off the top of my head, assuming you're using a version of MySQL which can't do subqueries. Now, all of this is untested, so my query syntax may be off a tad, but it'll give you the idea of where to go... Do the following intermittently on a scheduled basis: 1) Make a third table. It'll hold temporary data. user_id totalscore 2) LOCK TABLES Table3 READ 3) DELETE FROM Table3 WHERE 1=1 4) INSERT INTO Table3 (user_id, totalscore) SELECT user_id, 20 AS sc FROM Table2 ORDER BY rating LIMIT 10 5) INSERT INTO Table3 (user_id, totalscore) SELECT id, points FROM Table1 6) UNLOCK TABLES Now, whenever you want to generate the top 5 list use the following query SELECT user_id, SUM(totalscore) AS thescore FROM Table3 GROUP BY user_id ORDER BY SUM(totalscore) LIMIT 5 If you can create subqueries, then you don't need the third table and can write one nice query, something like this...

[PHP] Re: setcookie then redirect
Hi David,
Your question has seen much debate in this newsgroup. I had much the same
problem and solved it by writing the following function:
/**
* wrapper for header( Location: url )
*/
function redirect( $url, $showMoved=false ) {
// set refresh to target $url
header( Refresh: 0; url=$url ) ;
// show page has moved
if ( $showMoved ) {
echo htmlheadtitleMoved to $url/title/headbodypThis page
has moved to a href=\$url\$url/a./body/html ;
}
// exit current script
exit ;
}
Since it doesn't use header( Location: ... ) you are able to write your
cookies before you redirect. It's about the most elegant solution to your
problem, short of redesigning your pages. Of course, I have noticed that if
you don't supply the html ($showMoved) Opera chokes. IE and Netscape seem to
handle it fine and I haven't tested Mozilla yet.
Hope it helps!

RE: [PHP] Re: if syntax
-Original Message-
From: Richard Lynch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: 11 July 2002 10:54
The alternate syntax with the colons is passe -- I think
you'd have to dig
pretty deep to find a script old enough that uses it for
anything other than
demonstration purposes. (Rasmus?)
What utter tosh! *All* my scripts use the alternative syntax, as I think
braces are an eyesore and an abomination, and cause more problems than they
solve.
I've pretty much lost count of the number of times I've seen code written
like this:
if (x) {
while (y) {
...
} // end while
...
} // end if
when it would be just as easy, and more functional, to write this (even
saves a few characters, too!):
if (x):
while (y):
...
endwhile;
...
endif;
Another advantage to the alternative syntax is that it can improve error
reporting (slightly). Consider the following:
if () {
;
while () {
;
for () {
;
}
}
PHP will tell you you have a syntax error on the very last line of your
file, and you have no option but to go back and laboriously hand match all
of your braces -- and with each ellipsis representing maybe tens (or even
hundreds!) of lines of code and/or HTML, that's a big job. Now suppose you
wrote it like this instead:
if ():
;
while ():
;
for ():
;
endwhile;
endif;
Now PHP will throw an error at the endwhile, because it knows there's an
endfor missing -- and you've already cut out a large chunk of your code to
check; better yet, as you're checking you can see at a glance what each
end should be matching. And every end has to be there, too -- no
cursing yourself for that lazy day when you left out a few comments on some
unimportant closing braces!
/rant
Just my two penn'orth.
