Re: [PHP] Error: unexpected T_ELSE on line 14...?
There is a book/CD by 'Stroup' called 'More effective c++'. VERY excellent book. It give someting like 54 specific technicques to employ that save LOTS of time for a C++programmer.
One of the ones from that book, applies here:
DON'T write if ( variable ==/= constant){;}
INSTEAD write if( constant==/= variable){;}
Why, I was waiting for you to ask that question.
If you accidentally write the assignment operator '=' instead of '==/=', the first
case does an assignment, and if the constant is not 0 or unset, the statment will
always be true. In the second case, the interpreter/compiler will error out with the
fact that you can't assign to a constant.
So do this:
$var_to_test = FALSE;
if( TRUE = $var_to_test){;}
if($var_to_test = TRUE ){;}
if( TRUE == $var_to_test){;}
if($var_to_test == TRUE ){;}
and see what happens.

As I explained before, it is not necessary to know in advance the

mail functionality doesn't work.. you say its because of a possible
bug of mail()... NOT. and as I perfectly explained, ';' is not a
valid seperator for addresses.
Another detail is that you are distorting what I say. Saying that it
sounds like a PHP mail function bug, is not the same as claiming it

you do not want me to lead people to the PHP Classes site. It seems you
are one of those people that think of the PHP Classes site as a
competitor of PEAR. I would not be surprised if you would enjoy if one
day the PHP Classes site was shutdown so PEAR did not have any
competitors!
Let me count how many packages i'm a maintainer of... lets see.. 0

you say that you never use PEAR. So you are saying you recommend PEAR

Re: [PHP] Re: [mysql]Problem with PHP5
Ciprian,
I may have missed whether or not you were able to resolve your problem
from a couple days ago.
In one of my development environments (Win2K), I decided to install PHP
5.0 with MySQL(i) 4.1.x support in IIS5.0 and Apache 2 (running on
different ports). It took a bit more work than I intended, but here's
what I did:
FOR IIS (port 80):
1. downloaded and unzipped php-5.0.0-Win32.zip to c:\php
2. installed php as ISAPI
3. edited php-ini-recommended, tailored it to my environment, and copied
it as php.ini into c:\winnt
NOTE: extension_dir = c:\php\ext
4. tested phpinfo() without extensions
5. edited php.ini enabling needed extensions.
NOTE: when uncommenting the line: extension=mysql.dll, changed line to
read: extension=mysqli.dll
6. downloaded and unzipped mysql-4.1.3b-beta-win-noinstall.zip to c:\
7. configured mysql per www.mysql.com install instructions
8. copied c:\mysql\bin\libmysql.dll to c:\winnt\system32
9. restarted IIS, and IIS started successfully,
10. reloaded phpinfo(), and noticed that mysqli was properly loaded, but
now my old mysql_connect_db scripts don't work!
Refer to the new mysqli PHP code:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysqli.php
11. Here's a VERY basic example of the old mysql VS. new mysqli PHP code:
OLD mysql:
?php
// connect to the database
mysql_connect(localhost, wong, password) or die (Could not
connect to mySQL server);
// select the database
mysql_select_db(music) or die (Could not connect to database);
// store result
$result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM artists) or die (mysql_error());
// display returned results
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row[artist], nbsp;nbsp;, $row[album];
echo BR /;
}
// free result
mysql_free_result($result);
?
NEW mysqli:
?php
// connect to the database
$link = mysqli_connect(localhost, wong, password, music);
// check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf(Connect failed: %s\n, mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
// store query
$query = SELECT * FROM artists;
// store result
$result = mysqli_query($link, $query);
// loop thru rows using associative array
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
echo $row[artist], nbsp;nbsp;, $row[album];
echo BR /;
}
// free the result
mysqli_free_result($result);
// close the link
mysqli_close($link);
?
Additionally, for Apache 2 on Win2k (running on port 82):
1. Copied php.ini to c:\Apache Groups\Apache2
2. edited httpd.conf:
- added LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2.dll
- added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
3. Restarted Apache server
Hopes this helps.

You had a missing brace. When the error line is the last line (and especially
if error is Undefined $end) then you likely have a missing ending brace or
ending quote. Not trying to start a flame war here, but if you try a different
coding style you might have an easier time keeping track of open braces. The
working code (in my own style :)):
?php
// Verify User Input:
echo brbrbr;

You had a missing brace. When the error line is the last line (and
especially
if error is Undefined $end) then you likely have a missing ending brace or

Michael,
You need to gain some very basic debugging skills.
If you're trying to update a database:
1) Check the mysql_query is actually being run!
Add a line above mysql_query, die('hello');
If you see hello, the query is being run
2) Check there is no error on the query,
$query = some query;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('some error ' . mysql_error());
3) Check the query
echo $query;
See what the query looks like, you'll quickly be able to find the mistake.
Any other information you provided was useless, we don't need the entire
context of your application to help you.
I suggest you start learning these basic skills now and stop pasting huge
volumes of crap mail to the list.

[PHP] OT but need guidance in timing page views
I know that this is somewhat off topic, but I just need a starting place to do the research and thought someone here might be able to help. I am developing an application in which I need to time how long a visitor remains within a module and how long they view each page. I can create the appropriate fields in MySQL and can use PHP to do the appropriate calcualtions. What I don't know is how I communicate this information to the server. I can use POST or GET statements to pass info with page turns but what do I do if the visitor leaves the site without logging out or experiences a machine crash?

meaning the person was using the function improperly.
One is currently assigned and is related to W32 with a 'rcpt to'
issue. The other *only* open one is complaining that the 5th
argument isn't working, and if you *look* closely at that open
ticket, I'm currently working with him to make sure it isn't a bug
with php.
Even if no open bugs means that the mail function of the latest PHP
version does not have any bugs, it does not mean that all users are
using the latest version.
And again (for the third time), you have no idea what version the
person is using.
As I said, anybody with enough experience can tell you what is your
problem just from the sympthoms you present. You may ask more questions
to be sure but certain problems are very sympthomatic of PHP mail bugs.
The truth is, PHP mail() function has always been a source of major
headaches to many PHP user. If you really are concerned in making it
better avoiding the problems that it leads, you probably would have more
to gain in trying to understand what knowledge do I have to help making
it better, than trying to diss me just because you want to hide that it
was it very likely continues to be a major source of problems that often
make PHP a nightmare for some users.
As I explained before, it is not necessary to know in advance the
version that the person is using to state by the presented sympthoms
that the problem may be due to bugs in the mail function, present or
past (it does not matter).
Ok. let see.. mail('foo;bar;qoo', 'blah', 'blah');
mail functionality doesn't work.. you say its because of a possible
bug of mail()... NOT. and as I perfectly explained, ';' is not a
valid seperator for addresses.
If you did your homework and studied all the known PHP mail() function
problems you would know that there are bugs that make the passed headers
completely irrelevant, so when the version that the user is using has
such bugs, writing the headers correctly would not help. My question to
the user was to whether fixing the Cc: header would the problem. If it
didn't, it was even more likely a PHP mail() function bug. Do you
understand now?
look at all the google results to php-general and see how many
times you've seen me suggest PEAR as a solution. You will simply
find that I have suggested PEAR mabey 1 or 2 times out of the 3000 or
so posts on php-general.
Come on, you are not convincing anybody here. It is not a problem to be
a PEAR zealot to me.
You're definition of zealot is really wired.
I am not a native english speaker so I can always make mistakes in using
words in contexts that may not be appropriate. Anyway, my definition of
a zealot is somebody that is zealous, which is also the definition in
the dictionary.com .
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=zealot
Being zealous about PEAR is not a problem to me. Now, if that is your
motivation to complain because I suggest solutions to the users made
available in my site instead of PEAR as you did even claiming you are
not a user, that is a problem to me because you intentionally are
boycotting my attempts to help PHP users solve their problems due to a
preference (read bias) of yours.
quote me
what ever you are trying to say about it being a bug or not, it is
one of the worst ways i've ever seen anyone try to plug their site.
/quote me
I never once ever did complaing about your recomendation of your
site. I only suggested that you're aproach on promoting your site
was wrong.
It is all the same to me. Nobody asked about your opinions on whether I
am promoting my site or not. For the users that appreciate my help, I am
just trying solve their problems with solutions that I provide in my site.
Likewise, I can say that complaining about my recommendations to use
something that is in my site, is one of the worst ways I have ever seen
anyone trying to stop me from helping other PHP users.
pop in? where have you been?
I have been here in PHP mailing lists all the time listening to PHP
users problems for more than 5 years. That has helped me evolve my
solutions to make them more suitable to address their problems. And you?
I do not recall you until recently. Google seems to not record you
participation in php-general before July 2003. Maybe you were under
cover! ;-)

Re: [PHP] OT but need guidance in timing page views
I would do it this way: - open the page and create hidden iframe (or frame with 0% width/height) which will be refreshing itself every ... let's say ... 2 minutes... then you'll get up to 2 minutes accurate numbers... the refreshed page would write timestamp to database every refresh... when the user crashes or leaves the page without logging off, you know, that his next refresh (and last one) would be LASTREFRESH + 2mins ... that gives you quite accurate numbers when implemented correctly. On the other hand, it will be a bit load producing, while that subsequent writes to database... Hope it helped a bit, regards, m.

[PHP] Re: Stuffing those damn values into their fields...!
Sounds pretty harsh, but Aidan is right.
Another suggestion:
Set error_reporting in your php.ini to E_ALL and display_errors to
On. If you don't have access to the php.ini file you can try this:
[code]
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
[/code]
Paste these two lines of code into the beginning of your script.
With error_reporting set to E_ALL you will also see the errors of type
E_NOTICE.

You are completely correct and I've already considered this issue and discussed it with my client. But, they aren't bothered by the issue. The app is an online education system that provides accredidation and all I really have to verify is that the visitor (student) remained within the module for a minimum amount of time. I know that the student can get around this issue by simply leaving the browser open with one of my pages loaded, but they'll still have to pass an exam at the end of the course. So, if they just leave the page open and don't read the contents, they probably won't be able to pass the test. At least I can report to the accredidation agency that the student had the course open for the required amount of time.

Re: [PHP] Re: Embedded Email Directives
As you can see, Curt, and others, it's impossible to talk to Manuel as he has an obvious bias for his own site and always assumes that anything you say is an attack on him or his site personally. He doesn't read what you write and says the same things over and over. I just leave his posts alone now and give users the option of using PEAR classes and simple PHP code as well.

Re: [PHP] OT but need guidance in timing page views
Hi! This is what you need :) You have hidden frame (FRAME not layer!!!) (it means FRAME src=check.php height=0 [noborders etc])... then in check.php would be something like this: $id = $myid; //myid will be stored in session after user logs in Connect to database, pair ID with a row in table and update mytable set endtime = UNIX_TIMESTAMP() where id = myid; do this every 2 minutes (ie with META refresh tag set to 120 secs) ... if user changes page, then do following: check, if last refresh (endtime) is less then 2 minutes ago... if so, write the new value as an endtime and set some flag to consider this session closed and then you can count the time... (if some open sessions for this user open) Set new start time for this user and generate new frameset with frame mentioned above... In case, that the difference between current timestamp and last endtime is 2+ minutes, time endtime + 2 minutes will be written as endtime and flags properly set to finished session ... and then start the new one... and so on... i hope i've explained it right :) regards, m.

[PHP] Can't install PHP on Windows/Apache

After I installed PHP with the installer package, I added the following line at the end of the Apache httpd.conf together with the AddType statements: # LoadModule php4_module c:/php/php4apache.dll When I uncomment this line there is an error message saying that a resource is missing (or something like that, the DOS window disappears very quickly so I can't copy it). This line has worked ok on other computers I have installed with PHP 4.3.4 on Apache 1.3.29 and PHP 4.3.3 on Apache 1.3.27. I tried to install these programs but PHP does not run either, although Apache does. I have tried with both php4apache.dll and php4apache2.dll, but I still get the error message. The paths in the c:\windows\php.ini file point to the .dll file correctly. Could anybody please tell me what the problem could be?

MY_CONSTANT: does not work for obvious reasons
{MY_CONSTANT}: does not work for obvious reasons
{$MY_CONSTANT}: does not work for obvious reasons

here are my options:
1. assign the constant to a temporary variable and then use that.
i.e. $tmp_MY_CONSTANT = MY_CONSTANT;
2. use an array instead of a constant

Re: [PHP] Re: Mixing $_POST with text in a variable
I think the better way is to use brackets to enclose your variable...
So it would look like this :
$message =
Name: {$_POST['Name']}
Division: {$_POST['Division']}
Phone: {$_POST['Phone']}
Email: {$_POST['Email']};

When you have a variable that is inside a text string (double quotes) like
that then you do not need to have the quotes for your array index. So in
your case something like this should work:
$message =
Name: $_POST[Name]
Division: $_POST[Division]
Phone: $_POST[Phone]
Email: $_POST[Email];

Re: [PHP] Login Script
Hello Brian,
Take a look at setcookie() in the PHP manual. The algorithm is pretty
simple. Once the user submits the form, you compare form data with the
data in the database. If the password matches, then set a cookie with
the username (using setcookie()). Then you'll just have to check if the
cookie is set - if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])) {...} - and if it's set,
proceed to user page; if not, display the login form again.

hi... in regards to the php5/mysql/mysqli/apache2 issue... the following should be helpful... i've managed to get it working, so that i have mysql and mysqli both being displayed using phpinfo()... for a linux rh8.0 use mysql-4.1.3-beta.tar.gz copy it to whatever dir you want it in (eg.. /usr/src) gunzip mysql-4.1.3-beta.tar.gz tar -xvf mysql-4.1.3-beta.tar (which creates a mysql-4.1.3-beta dir and places the files underneath) i prefer to build the mysql code by using the default process... ./configure make clean make make install (this builds the required rpms) i then install the rpms rpm -ivh MySQL-server-4.1.3-0.i386.rpm rpm -ivh MySQL-devel-4.1.3-0.i386.rpm rpm -ivh MySQL-shared-4.1.3-0.i386.rpm (if you're building php on a client system with mysql/mysqli on another box, you can leave off the server rpm) at this point, you now have the basic libs for mysql installed... go ahead and do the php.. use php-5.0.0.tar.gz copy it to whatever dir you want it in (eg.. /usr/src) gunzip php-5.0.0.tar.gz tar -xvf php-5.0.0.tar (which creates a php-5.0.0 dir and places the files underneath) i've found that it appears that you need to make sure /usr/local/mysql/lib is clean off any mysql lib* stuff to prevent conflicts with old mysql versions... it looks like if you do a rpm -ivh --force MySQL-devel-4.1.3-0.i386.rpm rpm -ivh --force MySQL-shared-4.1.3-0.i386.rpm then the shared libs are placed in the /usr/lib /usr/lib/mysql dir structure... (you can see where files are placed by doing a rpm -qpl MySQL-**.rpm) set up the ./configure using ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc --with -mysql=/usr --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-ldap --wi th-pgsql (you might choose different options depending on your needs...) /usr/lib/mysql/libdbug.a /usr/lib/mysql/libheap.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmerge.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmyisam.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmyisammrg.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.la /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.la /usr/lib/mysql/libmystrings.a /usr/lib/mysql/libmysys.a /usr/lib/mysql/libnisam.a /usr/lib/mysql/libvio.a make clean ./configure make make install the results at this stage are a clean build with a libphp5.so... make the required changes to the httpd.conf/php.ini files, restart httpd and you should be up/running feel free to make any suggestions/changes.. this should help those who've been struggling to get this working -bruce -Original Message- From: Curt Zirzow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2004 7:23 PM To: bruce Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] building php5.0 as an apache module, with mysqli functionality * Thus wrote bruce: hi... this is cross posted to a number of lists as it seems to touch on all the apps...

Re: [PHP] is there anyway to use constants in a string?
Yes, I know. You can't use defined constants within a normal string,
so it won't work in a heredoc either:
define('FOO', 'bar');
echo show me FOO;
You have to use:
echo 'show me '.FOO;

Curt was trying to pass the impression that this thing of PEAR zealots that try to compete with the PHP Classes site was something that I invented. You may recall this thread below when you decide to push PEAR mail package to do something that the original poster requested but PEAR mail package could not do which was a way to send messages without relaying in an intermediate SMTP server, which is a feature that AFAIK, only my mail classes provide. http://www.phpbuilder.com/lists/php-windows/2004021/index.php#98 When you finally realized that PEAR mail could not do what the original poster asked, you even presented a copied solution that was proposed to PEAR but ended up being discarded for the lack of interest from the PEAR developers apparently because in the PEAR discussion it was proven that your implementation was weak as it did not address the concerns raised by them. This is just to remind you that what you claim about me that I do not read what others write, applies directly to you because you systematically recommend PEAR solutions in reaction to my recommendations that happen to be classes available in the PHP Classes site. I do not have a problem that you do that as long as you address the original poster problem, which often you don't.

Re: [PHP] OT but need guidance in timing page views
I know that this is somewhat off topic, but I just need a starting place to do the research and thought someone here might be able to help. I am developing an application in which I need to time how long a visitor remains within a module and how long they view each page. It seems like alot of people are focusing on what you can't do. As the client seems not to care, you could take the immediate approach and mimic several other online education sites, combining JavaScript to monitor the browsing habits and submitting a php script when the page is left. IE, use onload/onfocus to start a timer, onblur to pause it, and then onunload to perhaps popup or popunder a new window, populate a form with your necessary data, auto-submit and close that window. Sure, not entirely accurate, and you can still fool it if you have the know-how, but much more accurate than refreshing a frame every 2 minutes, and you have control of a timer than can be stopped when the user's not viewing the page. IIRC, there are several 'defensive driving' online sites that use this approach in the US. -SS -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
