I'm guessing this is probably *not* the case... it's a PEAR package, and if it's considered stable, this is *highly* unlikely. (Plus, if it's the stable version, then I'm running it on my production servers, and I *know* it's working fine!) In that case, I'd be looking for some kind of conditional around the require 'Pager.php' that is making it not actually get included at all...

[PHP] PHP cron sendmail
Somewhat OT... Okay, maybe a lot OT... I have these cron jobs on a computer, and I want the email output from them. But I don't want sendmail running 24/7, and when it does run, I'd just as soon it *ONLY* processed email and sent it out, without even opening up port 25 and listening. I guess the port 25 stuff is not too terribly important, behind 2 firewalls and all, but... Anyway, I definitely want it to run and process however much it can, but to STOP at a pre-determined time. This is for the computer in my sound booth, and I only want it running when we are not trying to record live music or burn CDs. I've Google and read a fair amount of stuff, most of which is giving me a headache rather than suggesting a solution... Is there some command line flags I can use to make sendmail run and send out just *ONE* message from the /var/mail/mqueue or whatever, and then QUIT and do nothing else? I can take care of shaping the behaviour from that point using cron and PHP to run sendmail when I want...

* Pablo D Marotta [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I`m defending the language, but people here want to migrate to asp.. They just keep on saying php is not used for huge corporation solutions, there asp goes better. I know it isn´t correct, but I don´t know much about well-known websites using php technology. (I just don´t navigate enough time to know it) I think that could help a lot, since this people is highly influenced by that kind of facts.. (I mean, knowing that other companies trust this language to manage critical information). I'm not allowed to say what company it's for, but we just finished building a site for a Fortune 50 company. Others have mentioned google and Y!, which are of course very prominent. Recently, IBM has remarked that it's endorsing PHP and throwing money at PHP development to make it more enterprise ready. Another argument I'd make is that PHP can run on a variety of web servers, not just IIS, which give you more choice in your web architecture. ASP is certainly a fine language, but my personal opinion is that it locks you in to a single architecture -- one that costs $$$ and which has limited scalability. Those reasons alone are enough to look at other languages. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney | WEBSITES: Webmaster and IT Specialist | http://www.garden.org National Gardening Association| http://www.kidsgardening.com 802-863-5251 x156 | http://nationalgardenmonth.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://vermontbotanical.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Dynamic Generating reports to print
Hi, I'd like to generate reports (with tabular data) to print from php. Now I am using a mixed solution where I save the data in a reports database and I have a delphi app installed pooling the db for pending reports and print it. My plan is move away from the current solution but I am still confused of how am I going to get control of the layout of the report. Generate a PDF ? Use CSS ? Some of the trick parts are, for instance, to have the same header in all pages of the same report, if I have tabular data greater than the height of the page continue in the next page etc. Any tips (or code) ? thanks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Some of the trick parts are, for instance, to have the same header in all pages of the same report, if I have tabular data greater than the height of the page continue in the next page etc. I used to encounter the same problems with reporting in our business software. You can generate reports and spit out HTML in a new window and have the user print the report from the browser, but that has many drawbacks. It only works with simple data sets, its difficult (or impossible) to control page breaks, lack of precision placing, etc. Now I use FPDF to generate PDF reports (http://www.fpdf.org/). Its free, easy to use, and pretty flexible. It allows you to do precision placement on a page, add headers, footers, etc, etc, etc. Be sure to check out the Scripts section, its got a bunch of useful tips for expanding functionality of the classes. There is another commerical product out there (can't thin of the name right now) that is supposed to be faster, but FPDF is pretty fast in our applications. I also use the JPGraph package for generating graphs (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/). This is *really* slick. Its free for personal use, about $125 for commercial use. You need to install some additional PHP libraries (JPEG, PNG, GD at least), but its fast and easy. I love playing around with this product because the possibilities for what you can do are almost endless.

Re: [PHP] Can I use $_REQUEST for file uploads?
Thanks for the reponse. I tested again, but it was not the problem with ENCTYPE. I am getting file with $_FILES. I think this is due to CGI configuration if not with php.ini. Because when I check the version by using PHP -v command, it shows 4.3.10 (cgi) but when check that using phpinfo() function, it is showing as PHP 4.2.2. Why the difference? I am working in that view to find the solution. Currently I got a temporary solution. I am jsut copying from $_FILES to $_REQUEST at the very begining of the script. Because I can't change all the scripts now. Because you have two different versions of PHP installed. In otherwords, the CGI version and most likely the module version. Now to answer your question, here's a quote from the PHP Manual: Note: Prior to PHP 4.3.0, $_FILES information was also included in $_REQUEST. So, $_FILES is no longer part of $_REQUEST.

My advice -- take the full amount of time given to you, and go back over your answers should you have time left over. I took it at the 2005 PHP Quebec Conference (it was part of the fee). I finished it in an hour, but had 90 minutes alotted. I did not pass, and still regret not taking the time to go back over the answers I was unsure of. I think that if I had taken the full time, I would have had a better shot. You'll likely have better luck, as I normally don't do well with exams in general. As an aside, I think the exam needs to mature a bit more. I was confused a few times, and found a few questions that involved cases I had certainly experienced in five plus years of PHP development. I'm sure that'll happen in due time as the certification is only a couple years old. -- Aaron Gould Programmer/Systems Administrator PARTS CANADA -- M.Saleh.E.G 97150-4779817

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Generating reports to print
The commercial product you might be thinking off might be Crystal Reports: http://www.businessobjects.com/. I have not worked with their product since their version 7, but I remember that if you wanted a report in HTML what they did is send zillions of absolutely positioned divs with width and height spec and assembled the page from those. It did not require any plug-in installed on the client side. It used the page-break-after or -before CSS attribute for page breaks. Satyam Steve Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] My plan is move away from the current solution but I am still confused of how am I going to get control of the layout of the report. Generate a PDF ? Use CSS ? Some of the trick parts are, for instance, to have the same header in all pages of the same report, if I have tabular data greater than the height of the page continue in the next page etc. I used to encounter the same problems with reporting in our business software. You can generate reports and spit out HTML in a new window and have the user print the report from the browser, but that has many drawbacks. It only works with simple data sets, its difficult (or impossible) to control page breaks, lack of precision placing, etc. Now I use FPDF to generate PDF reports (http://www.fpdf.org/). Its free, easy to use, and pretty flexible. It allows you to do precision placement on a page, add headers, footers, etc, etc, etc. Be sure to check out the Scripts section, its got a bunch of useful tips for expanding functionality of the classes. There is another commerical product out there (can't thin of the name right now) that is supposed to be faster, but FPDF is pretty fast in our applications. I also use the JPGraph package for generating graphs (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/). This is *really* slick. Its free for personal use, about $125 for commercial use. You need to install some additional PHP libraries (JPEG, PNG, GD at least), but its fast and easy. I love playing around with this product because the possibilities for what you can do are almost endless.

Okay, but it defenitly says this: snip from=http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hull_asp.html The latest incarnation of ASP, ASP.NET, is not completely backward-compatible with previous versions of ASP, as it is a complete rewrite of the software. Previous ASP technology actually has a lot more in common with PHP than with ASP.NET, which is a complete framework for building Web applications. One of the principal features of this model is the flexibility to choose your programming language. ASP.NET works with scripted languages such as VBScript, JScript, Perlscript, and Python, as well as compiled languages such as VB, C#, C, Cobol, Smalltalk, and Lisp. The new framework uses the common language runtime (CLR); your language source is compiled into Microsoft Intermediate Language code, which the CLR then executes. /snip This text says, that ASP .NET is a complete framework for building web applications.

Hi, You solve the problem yourself: the radio input does show up once one of the radios is checked. When it is unchecked is isn't set...if you need to assign it a value in any circumstances you should test it with ?php $chkbox1 = (isset($_POST[radio_test])) ? true : false; ? for example (of course you may omit the ternary operator...isset() will do the same).

That's because Radio Buttons and Check Boxes do not return anything if not checked or selected. So you gotta explicitly do it ur self.

You might try the following instead. > if($NextCourse == 1){ > do something; > }else{ > do something else; > } > ?> > ok. the key problem is when I click the button to submit. the value of $NextCourse is not the value of value of document.form1.NextCourse.value. just is the pre page's $NextCourse,that's say "null"; how can i get document.form1.NextCourse.value
Re: [PHP] Dynamic Generating reports to print
On 24/04/2005, at 12:43 AM, Steve Brown wrote: I used to encounter the same problems with reporting in our business software. You can generate reports and spit out HTML in a new window and have the user print the report from the browser, but that has many drawbacks. It only works with simple data sets, its difficult (or impossible) to control page breaks, lack of precision placing, etc. Now I use FPDF to generate PDF reports (http://www.fpdf.org/). Its free, easy to use, and pretty flexible. It allows you to do precision placement on a page, add headers, footers, etc, etc, etc. Be sure to check out the Scripts section, its got a bunch of useful tips for expanding functionality of the classes. There is another commerical product out there (can't thin of the name right now) that is supposed to be faster, but FPDF is pretty fast in our applications. I find doing it this way a total pain in the ass, I have in the past used htmldoc , to generate html to pdf , it has special tags to do certain things in the pdf's. Seriously drawing it like this is time consuming. I would suggest report designers like report manager and jasper reports. Currently for Excel I have built a subclass to the PEAr structures datagrid which uses the excel spreadsheet renderer, and i give it a database resultset, currently the dataobject, and then it will generate the columns dynamically from the query. I have given it extra methods to display extra stuff in the header and footer ie for formulas , and special formatting on the cells. But pdf's are nice if the user doesnt need to collate the data just print it. The funky thing with Jasper reports is, you can maniuplate the xml based files, say build a web frontend to build a report builder, so the user doesnt need to use gui tools like iReport to create report templates. So you let them select the fields you want, and u do the sql and xml generating in the backend. To do it currently, the fields have to be statically setup , it also however requires a Jsp to run a servlet to compile the reports. Reportman however runs a cgi report server, but cant do excel on unix. I also use the JPGraph package for generating graphs (http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/). This is *really* slick. Its free for personal use, about $125 for commercial use. You need to install some additional PHP libraries (JPEG, PNG, GD at least), but its fast and easy. I love playing around with this product because the possibilities for what you can do are almost endless. This is really sweet however it doesnt have PHP5 support ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] reverse MD5 ???
William Stokes wrote: Hello, I have a system that uses certain id info. This info is stored in a session cookie in MD5 format. At certain parts of the code I need to update or insert to MySQL DB with that id info value in cleartext. Is this possible? If so, how to put this to a sql query? $sqlquery = insert into x_table (team_id,number,) values ('$team_id','$number') $team_id is the MD5 formatted cookie value and I need to put it to the x_table column team_id in cleartext. Thanks a lot -Will MD5 values are hashes, not encryptions. There's nothing to decrypt. It's good for storing the results of some value and than when the person sends the MD5 back at a later point you can make sure it still matches the desired value by re-hashing the original value again. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I need to create an image map on a country map, where people can click on any state and get some info related to it.. In such case the regular polygon/circle/rectengle image map wont do bcoz of shapes of state.. I guess this must be possible someway in PHP.. please tell me if you have any idea how to go abt this.. Is the problem you're experiencing that the image map isn't being built properly or are you passing information to it that does not appear to be consistant. If it's the former, then PHP has nothing to do with that. I'm sure you can find some tools to generate image maps for you. There have always been free ones with a minimum of effort. If you're having problem with PHP in the mix, can you describe the PHP problem, provide some code, some sample output, etc.? I've used image maps in the past (though I try to stay away from them) and you can create a link with virtually any polygon if you have the patience to may out the plot points. You could easily create a star with many, many points and have it be clickable - which would indicate that most states would be a piece of cake. -M Thanks John, I never knew about any such thing in Gimp :) SayOrange.com How to choose the best web hosting? http://www.sayorange.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
