[PHP] Using PHP with Style Sheets
I just learned that you can even use PHP on style sheets. Can anyone here tell me how to set it up? I found a page at http://www.webdeveloper.co.nz/forum/topic/50 that apparently cites two different methods. The first is to put a php heading at the top of a style sheet, then alter a document so that your server will recognize the style sheet as a php page. But someone else said all you have to do is change the page's extension from .css to .php. I tried that, but it didn't work for me. Are you aware of any good tutorials on using PHP with style sheets?

F Are you aware of any good tutorials on using PHP with style sheets? Sorry but you haven't really stumbled onto a pot of gold here or anything. One of the methods listed just adds CSS to the PHP parsed file list (which probably isn't the most smartest idea in the world) and the other renames a CSS file to PHP - I'm dubious that you even need to bother outputting the header, but haven't ever tried it to know. Neither are exactly revolutionary and I'll doubt you'll find any tutorials on it because it's not really doing anything unique/new. PHP is a server-side language. If you use it to output some CSS then by all means feel free. Others us it to output JavaScript/HTML/Java Applet Parameters/PDF files and all kinds. -- Best regards, Richardmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] odd error with if !(cond){}
Hello im hoping someone might have an insight into this one im getting an
odd error when I use a not condition in an if statement
The code is as follows:
if !(isset($_REQUEST[license]))
{
$license = off;
}
The error I am receiving is:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '!', expecting '(' in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\car.php on line 9
To avoid the error im simply using a script that doesnt use the ! mark but
the fact that using an ! in this position is occuring is worrying.. Has
anyone else encountered this?

Re: [PHP] Is this possible ?
An object-oriented way of doing it: keep the extra result in a member variable and
get it separately. You might not find this necessary, but it gets more useful
in more complex cases.
class MyClass {
var $num;
Function MyFunc(){
if(isset($_POST['var'])){
$sql = mysql_query(select * from table_name where field=\$_POST[var]\
);
$this-num = mysql_num_rows($sql);
$returnsomething =blah blah;
}
return $returnsomething;
}
function getCount() { return $this-num; }
}

Hi List,
I have a function that makes a call to mysql based on certain vars.
---example
Function MyFunc(){
if(isset($_POST[var])){
$sql = mysql_query(select * from table_name where field=\$_POST[var]\
);
$returnsomething =blah blah;
}
return $returnsomething;
}
And that all works fine no probs here but.
I want to use a result somewhere in my script that is not returned by
return. Let me show you...
---example
Function MyFunc(){
if(isset($_POST[var])){
$sql = mysql_query(select * from table_name where field=\$_POST[var]\
);
$num = mysql_num_rows($sql); // I want to use this result outside this
function.
$returnsomething =blah blah;
}
return $returnsomething;
}
So $num contains a number that I want to use outside the function which is
not covered by return.
I know return stops a script and returns what I want it to return but how do
I send out of the function the var I want.
I have tried $GLOBAL[var]=$num; but that dont work, but I thought I
would'nt anyway just tried it and yes I know I have to declare it inside my
new function using global $var; to use it.
So I ask is this achiveable or how can I do this.
Thank you in advance

Add this to your .htaccess file:

ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
Add this to the top of your CSS file:

Then you can use it to do all sorts of stuff:
---

header(Content-Type: text/css);
include(../inc/colours.inc);

It's almost like it parses it before it tries to execute any lines and if a
syntax error occurs, it doesn't execute any of the script.
The prior version would run up until the syntax error and then give you the
line if error, which usually meant the syntax error was on the previous

FW: [PHP] date fiedl
I have a feeling that saving it as a numeric field would be quicker. Numeric fields are generally quicker than alphanumeric fields and the date field in mySQL has the format of -mm-dd, so it probably does some error checking/validation to see the format is correct and also it contains alphanumeric characters being -'s.

Re: [PHP] Error Reporting help
Thanks for all you replies, most of what you have suggested, I had already
tried, in vain, before joining the list.
I retried most of the combinations and still cannot get it to report syntax
errors. If I have errors, from say undefined variables, the error handler
catches those just fine.
Question: when I use the ini_set, does that stay set for the lifetime of the
script executing or is it set for good? The reason I ask, is I wonder if the
permissions on the 'Ini file is blocking me from modifying it.
All help is much appreciated.

That's right.
The prior version would run up until the syntax error and then give you
the
line if error, which usually meant the syntax error was on the previous
line.
I don't think any version of PHP has ever done that.
More likely your prior version of PHP had display_errors enabled. In
general
you can enable and display all errors using:
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
But if display_errors (in php.ini) is disabled then syntax errors will
not
be displayed -- they can only be viewed in the error log.

[PHP] Variables not working!
Hi, I am new to PHP scripting and struggling with the following problem. I have two files, an HTML file and a PHP file. HTML file contains a form with one text field and a submit button. When a user pressed the submit button, it calls the php file (form action=test.php ...). What the php file does is just echo back the text received from html file to the user again. Name of the text field is 'fname'. When I used this variable in the php file (as $fname) it does not contain the value of the text field. Query-string appended to the url during the submission is also correct. I checked for all syntax errors, but the codings are perfect. Do I have to change php.ini file to fix this problem.

Re: [PHP] Using PHP with Style Sheets
OK, it looks like there are at least three ways to do this. I now have
an original style sheet with a .css extension and copies with .php and
.css.php extensions.
All three style sheets have the following code at the top:
?
header(Content-Type: text/css);
?
For the original style sheet, I pasted the following text into a
.htaccess file:
Files ~ \.css$
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
/Files
I haven't worked with .htaccess files before. I found one in a folder at
C:/xampp/webdav/, but it sounds to me like this is something that has to
be uploaded with your website, so I made a new .htaccess file with
Notepad and pasted it right next to my home page.
I haven't checked to see if PHP is working with any of these strategies
yet, but my regular styles are still working, with the following caveats:
A few styles were apparently knocked out of commision on the original
style sheet - the one with the .css extension. Specifically, the appear
to have lost the font-families assigned to them; they display as plain
text, rather than Arial. One is on the main page, and the other two are
on separate PHP includes. I suspect the problem might just be a bug with
Dreamweaver; my style sheets act up every now and then.
Everything looks fine with the other two style sheets, but they remove
the color coding from my style sheet, except for the PHP heading at the
top. That's probably not a really big deal, but it would be nice to
preserve the color codes.
Now I'll give all three pages a test run, after I think up a PHP
function to use in them.
Thanks for all the tips!

So your $url variable should be surrounded with slashes. You have single quotes in your $url variable, but I don't think that PHP behaves like perl in letting you use whichever delimiter you choose. Try replacing the single quotes with forward slashes. Additionally, if you're only doing a simple string substitution, you should use str_replace instead: http://php.net/str_replace You won't need the / delimiters, and it will be faster than using preg_replace. joel -- [ joel boonstra | gospelcom.net ] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The browser simply performs a separate request for that file, so its header() information is sent in response to that request. joel -- [ joel boonstra | gospelcom.net ] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi all.. I made this code for the login.php page.. it will compare A value from the

after logging it will check if also this value is the same and then echo something..is
the following code is right for that? :

die(Could

mysql_select_db(Table name, $link);
$UserName = $_GET['UserName'];

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(Query errort: . mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result) or die(User Not found: . mysql_error());
$Serial = htmlspecialchars($row[0]);

looked in the docs and don't seem to find it. I did find a reference to;
$db = 'server//path';
But I get errors.
I am connecting to an access db for testing and I'm using an ADO connection.
$db = C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\proto1\\data\\example_one.mdb;
$conn-Open(DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=.$db);
I would like to make the $db a virtual path.

This depends on the field. If it's a text box, then x will still be in
$_POST, but it'll be empty. If it's a checkbox, and the checkbox is not
checked, then x will not be in $_POST.
One thing to note for the original poster, all your code does is check
that there are no empty values within $_POST. it doesn't keep track of
how many there are or if the correct ones are there. If I make my own
form with a single text box that I put a value in, it'll be validated by
your code. Hopefully there's more to your validation than this. :)

[PHP] Securing php from rogue php scripts
Hi there I have been reading about certain php scripts that, if used incorrectly, can compromise servers. There are certain open source scripts that I know if (no names mentioned) that have exploits that allow this and I want to know if there is a How to or best practice anywhere for securing PHP against this. I was told to add some stuff to the php.ini file to prevent certain actions (phpinfo ,system, include, chown, chmod, exec, passthru, mail, readfile , dir , read, readdir) but was wondering if someone could give some advice Thanks Ade -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] dreaded sessions
Hi all, Sessions have become one my nightmares. Unfortunately, I have built a system based on sessions and for some reason I having some really irritating issues. Simply here is my problem: After logging into the system, I set a session with information for the Username and Password for verifiying the user's login into the system, that way I don't have to continually ask for the information or pass in the forms. Currently I am using a database to store sessions, which I have however encountered the same errors with file based sessions. When I restart the session, it performs a selection from the database on SESS ID. However, in very consistently inconsistent points the selection returns 0 results. However, I checked the database for the session data and found that the session information was gone from the previous write. But I am using an Innodb table and committing the transaction. Odd? I am calling the session_write_close function at the end of the transaction, to push the session through. Also, in the session_destroy handler I put a debugging message to see if the session was being destroyed and that is not the situation either. Anybody have similar problems with delayed in session writing or lost session data? I register all of the data into the session that I need leave the session alone except for reading of the session data. Thanks in advance!

[PHP] Can this head section, which loads many style sheets, be improved or simplified?
I now that have a system that works beautifully. I just wondered if it
could be simplififed or improved even more.
The head section on every page consists of an included page, which I
appended below. But the most important part is the style sheet section,
which begins with two or three default style sheets (World, North
America), followed by several conditional regional style sheets (e.g.
the North, Southwest, Great Plains, etc.) and a few alternate style sheets:
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/aaa.css rel=stylesheet
type=text/css /';
if($includenorth == TRUE){
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent .
'/north.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css /';
}
if($includesw == TRUE){
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent .
'/southwest.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css /';
}
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/themes/peace.css rel=alternate
stylesheet type=text/css title=Peace /';
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/themes/war.css rel=alternate
stylesheet type=text/css title=War /';
Here's the matching head section from the main page (Alaska, in this case):
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en lang=en
head
?php
$myname = 'Alaska';
$mycode = 'ak';
$mylink = '/ak';
$mynickname = 'Land of the Midnight Sun';
$mycontinent = 'North America';
$mycountry = 'United States';
$mystate = 'Alaska';
$countrycode = 'us';
$linkcontinent = '/na';
$linkcountry = '/us';
$linkstate = '/ak';
$periods = '../../../../';
$linkwebring = '/world/na/us/ak/';
$includenorth = TRUE;
$includesouth = FALSE;
$includesouthwest = FALSE;
[Plus about a dozen more]
include (../../../../includes/state/head.php);
?
/head
This same head section appears on pages for the Northwest Territories
and Yukon Territory, and the style sheet all three are linked to -
north.css - features styles that modifies page elements (e.g. div#title)
that have been modified by PHP (e.g. div#titleak, div#titlenwt,
div#titleyt).
The head section for the Southwest states accepts the southwest style
sheet and bars the northern style sheet.
As I said, it works great. I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions
for improving it further. It would be kind of nice if I didn't have to
paste a string of FALSE statements into the head section of every page...
$includenorth = FALSE;
$includesouth = FALSE;
$includesouthwwest = FALSE;

RE: [PHP] Generating an Excel file?
Geez what really bad advice, giving an end user a totally useless unfriendly csv file is bad bad bad. I suggest you check out http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer , its a pain to get the layout perfect, but once its done you have what you need. I've also been trying to hassle to get a report server installed and working check out either Datavision or Report Manager, it took me less than an hour to design the report. It took me 2 months to try and get the systems guy to install it but still not happening due to the fact its delphi/kylix database drivers which just are not so friendly as JDBC and the RM developer is not so friendly with support but its the only most decent open source alternative out there, you could also check out ICrystal. -Original Message- From: Ben Ramsey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 5:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Generating an Excel file?
