[PHP] Problem with Javascript:...submit()

...
Everything works as long as $row['LITERATURE_title'] is one word, see this
variable contains the names of books, and if the books name is Heaven for
instance it works fine but as soon as the title is something like PHP for
Dummies it doesnt work and i get a error on page message, I tried using
numbers as the form name but then the same thing happens.
Any ways around this?

If you've got a row ID number or something, just call the form lit[id]
(replacing [id] with the ID number), because I don't think a form name
can start with a number. Otherwise you could sha1() the title and use
that as the identifier, or simply remove all spaces...

Re: [PHP] Problem with Javascript:...submit()
I'm just taking a wild guess...
but I'm guessing that if you set a name with spaces, it'll be replaced
with _(underscore).
A couple of ways around this is to
1) figure out a way to assign a one-word name for all your
books(e.g. Code, ID number, etc.)
2) generate a hash code(e.g. md5($row['LITERATURE_title'])) will
generate a one word(no spaces).
If this is going to be a library application, you can always use
ISBNX(no spaces, no dashes), since the idea is that every book
has a unique ISBN number

Say we want to remove Chairs, and let's do it the hard way:
foreach ($alldataarr as $key = $data) {

using foreach $arr as $key = $data you can get the
key/index name as well as the actual value stored in that
part of your array. Then all you have to do is refer back up
to the main array using the current $key/$subkey values as
your indexes.
$filter = array(
'Fruits'= array('Apples' = 1, 'Oranges' = 1),
'Furniture' = array('Couches' = 1, 'Chairs' = 1), );

Hi all,
I'm really struggling here! I have a large, multi-dimensional array
that I want to clean-up a bit before committing to a database.
I want to remove quite a bit of the array but using the
KEYs not the
values. I know the keys I want to keep and I know the keys
I want to
get rid of. I want to keep the structure and sequence of
the array in tact.
All of the array traversing functions in PHP seem to
either: only work
on the values, or do not allow the removal of elements of the array!
Can anyone offer a clue bat to a tired old array walker!
Thanks

so for this:
SELECT col1,col2... FROM tbl WHERE filter1 filter2 ORDER BY order1,order2
I would get this:
SELECT count(*) FROM tbl WHERE filter1 filter2
$str = SELECT col1,col2... FROM tbl WHERE filter1 filter2 ORDER BY

Other than sharing a similar syntax and flow control (curly braces, if/else blocks, while loops etc.), they're different languages. For a start C is compiled whereas PHP is interpreted, and you can't just jump between the two.

[PHP] Re: ampersand in dom with utf-8
maybe i should have said: egrave; is not an _xml_ entity.
i m not very sure.
sorry.
`egrave;' is an html entity,
represents the letter `è' in iso-8859-1 charset,
which have ascii value of 0xe8 .
to have it recognized by libxml, there are 3 ways to do this:
1, ?xml version=1.0item_name#e8;/item_name
2, ?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1item_nameè/item_name
3, ?xml version=1.0item_nameè/item_name
1 can be saved using either utf-8 encoding or iso-8859-1 encoding;
2 must be saved using iso-8859-1 encoding
3 must be saved using utf-8 encoding ( to have `è' be converted properly)
in php, we can do this:
$html = html_entity_decode('item_namefarm lettuces with reed
avocado, cregrave;me
fraicirc;che, radish and cilantro/item_name');
$dom = DomDocument::loadXML(?xml version=\1.0\

If you're intending to send that content as HTML, then I guess that
would be OK. However, if you're using UTF-8 anyway, why not just use

Are you trying to put each return from array_slice into $output as an

Also, you cannot just echo an array (even of characters). It must be a
string, or else echo will only produce the output 'Array'.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
I'm using a for loop to iterate through an array and slice parts of
the array and add into another array.
When array_slice is called the variable $i is not being substituted
with the current value of
$i and the $output array is empty after running the script. Can
someone look at the code below and give me a clue as to why this
substitution is not happening? If I uncomment the echo $i; statement
the value of $i is printed just fine.
Thanks,
Rod
Here's my code:
$number = count ($int_range[start]);
//echo $number;
for ($i = 0; $i = $number; $i++) {
//echo $i;
$output = array_slice ($textArray, $int_range[start][$i],
$int_range[end][$i]);
}
foreach ($output as $value) {
echo $value;

as we grind through the contact list for newsletters subscribers it
may pull out $first_name, or $last_name, or perhaps the address and so

$email_body is a free form text field, and he wants to be able to type

Consider using serialize(). It's simple and foolproof. Read the manual on

[PHP] RE: Removing Items from an Array - My Solution
Hi cc and others.
I have had quite a struggle with this. But finally, the end result looks
quite
simple...
Here is the array of Keys Names I want to preserve:
$filter = array(
'CategoryId' = 1, 'CategoryLevel' = 1, 'CategoryName' = 1,
'CategoryParentId' = 1
);
Here is the routine which (for ease, creates a new array containing only
the array
keys contained in $filter:
foreach ($orig_arr as $key = $data) {
if (is_array($data)) {
foreach ($data as $subkey = $subdata) {
if (isset($filter[$subkey])) {
$sub_arr[$subkey] = $subdata;
}
}
}
$new_arr[] = $sub_arr;
}
$new_arr has just what I need :-)
This only works on a two dimensional array. But with a bit of tweaking
and turing
into a function, it could probably be used on any number of dimensions
by making
it recursive?
Thanks to the contributors who supplied ideas and knowledge..
If anyone thinks this could be done a better way, please feel free to
comment!

I'm really struggling here! I have a large, multi-dimensional

I want to remove quite a bit of the array but using the
KEYs not the

I want to

All of the array traversing functions in PHP seem to

[PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] Re: [PHP] Removing Items from an Array
That works just as well, if you have only two levels of depth. Mostly I was
trying to illustrate how to use $key = $value in a foreach and what to do if
you need to go multiple levels down. Once you get to the bottom level, then
you can use isset() certainly.
Just wanted to make sure that it was clear what to do with $key and $subkey
relating to the main array ($alldataarr in this example)
-TG
= = = Original message = = =
Well to give my .02 here.
Why even go through the second foreach? By doing this you are making your code
very inefficient in
that it must read through the entire set of arrays. Sure it works fine if you
have only a few. But
if there are a few thousand it takes longer.
As the arrays are structures you have the key (Apples, Oranges, Apricots,
Couches,
Chairs, Benches)
so why not just something like:
?php
$arrset1 = array(Apples = 3, Oranges = 5, Apricots = 1);
$arrset2 = array(Couches = 6, Chairs = 2, Benches = 5);
$alldataarr[Fruits] = $arrset1;
$alldataarr[Furniture] = $arrset2;
//Say we want to remove Chairs, and let's do it the hard way:
// Debug
//echo initial arraypre;
//print_r($alldataarr);
//echo /pre;
$delete_key = Chairs;
foreach ($alldataarr as $key = $data)
~if (isset($alldataarr[$key][$delete_key]))
~
~~unset($alldataarr[$key][$delete_key]);

// Debug

Snag #1)
The DOMDocument seems to represent an entire page, all I'd like to do is
represent a Form tag and it's internal HTML. I can actually get it to
work that way, but it seems like it's the wrong way to go about things.
being how XML works you can only have 1 Document Node. So I don't see how this
would be an issue.
You can however create a form DOM Element. it will be associated with the
document node however again you can't really have more than 1 to begin with
so?
Snag #2)
The creation of a DOMElement object is very limited without being
associated with a DOMDocument, I'd like to create an independent
DOMElement inside the Element class, including possible sub-DOMElements,
without having to create the DOMDocument in the Form object..
Why? I don't see any reason to have an Element be separate from the main
Document?
Even tho it will be associated with that Document. you still have full access
as to where it goes.
you could even make that form the main node.
$form = DOMDocument('form');
I realize after writing this that these don't seem like very serious
snags, but I jsut dont' have a fuzzy feeling about the way this would
work if I implemented it knowing what I've stated here. Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you are using PostgreSQL, it has a built-in IP address data type
which almost for sure does this. :-)
Maybe what you want to do is just convert the IP to an integer.
function ipd($ip){
list($a, $b, $c, $c) = explode('.', $ip);
$ipd = $a * 0x100 + $b * 0x1 + $c * 0x100 + $d;
return $ipd;
}
Now you can just compare idp() of any IP addresses to see if they are
in a 'range'
There's probably a better way.
And you should probably use bit-shifting operators ( and ) insted
of my * 0x100 method, as it might be faster.

Any help is appreciated. Yes, but... You can add a header Priority: High (I think it's High) But only spammers use that [1], so it increases the odds of getting marked as spam. The urgency of an email, as defined by the sender, has turned out to be relatively useless, since the urgency, as defined by the recipient, rarely matches. While you may have the luxury of knowing for sure that the two urgencies (sender/recipient) *DO* match up, it's a rare occurrence. If you have sufficient control over sender and recipient accounts, you could add URGENT to the Subject: and/or set up filtering on the email client to force the message to be flagged there, based on criteria that are less likely to get the email flagged as junk. Maybe if Priority email cost more to send and bulk was cheaper, these settings would become meaningful again. But, as it stands now, they are largely useless to the sender. I'm sure some recipients re-prioritize email based on filters, and that remains useful. [1] This was an exaggeration, though not a huge one. Actually, savvy spammers no longer use a Priority setting. -- 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

One thing to consider would be to have a list of hosts/urls you want,

each socket and fread() data in a convenient-sized chunk and snag it.
This will make all the remote computers run in parallel to some degree.
This is most useful if the GETs you are doing are dynamic and take
awhile for the remote server to generate the output.

Hi TG and others,
I think I must be missing something here.
Your example doesn't seem to traverse down into a multidim array.
Also, it appears as though your script assumes that the
structure of
the array is known. It isn't and it is retrieved from far
away and I
have no control over it's structure/depth/size etc... I can take a
good guess at the keys I want to keep and keep those in an
array in my config.inc.
But I would ideally like to be able to have a function which is as
array agnostic as possible.
shouldn't be 'array paragnostic' or maybe 'array gnostic' -
psychic hypertext processor. does what you mean.
I tried to do an unset($arr[key]) in one of my other attempts at
solving this problem. But from what I read in the manual (if I
understood correctly :-)), it seems as though you can't
really do this
from within a function/routine which is walking through the
array at
that time as the array is not re-ordered...
right so you have to write your own function. and/or maybe
combine it with
array_map() and/or array_filter() ... here is a routine that
drills into an array given an array of values that act as the 'path'
into the array your 'drilling' (can you handle php5?), may be
that inspires you a bit:
/*
* eg
$yourDataSet = array();
$yourDataSet['A'] = array();
$yourDataSet['B'] = array();
$yourDataSet['A']['A'] = array();
$yourDataSet['B']['B'] = array();
$yourDataSet['B']['B']['coolstuff'] = array(
'foo' = 'bar',
'bar' = 'qux',
);
ArrayDriller::setSource( $yourDataSet ); $somedata =
ArrayDriller::get( array('B','B','coolstuff') )

Just looking briefly at the below script; NEVER trust user input!
Sanatize it, escape it, check to see it's what you expect, and do it
again. Doing things like this...
freadMovie($_REQUEST['path']);

Re: [PHP] prevent user from getting scripts outside the web folder [this better?]
Is this a bit better ?
As directed, I 'sanitized' all user input variables with trim and
mysql_real_escape_string.
thanks for everyone's patience as I am starting at ground zero
concerning security.
if( isset($_REQUEST['cmd']) OR isset($_REQUEST['path'] ))
{
// decrypt and santize variables
$cmd = isset($_REQUEST['cmd']) ? cleanser(decrypt($_REQUEST
['cmd'])) : $cmd=null;
$path = isset($_REQUEST['path']) ? cleanser(decrypt($_REQUEST
['path'])) : $path=null;
.
.
.
the cleanser script:
function cleanser( $value )
{
return mysql_real_escape_string( trim( $value ) ) ;
}
the 'decrypt' function uses MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 with a $key stored
outside the web folder.
many thanks :)

Re: [PHP] Mark Email as Urgent
Richard Lynch wrote: On Thu, October 13, 2005 12:47 pm, Nathaniel Hall wrote: I have a PHP script that automatically sends an e-mail when accessed. Is there any way to mark the e-mail that is sent as urgent or flagged? Any help is appreciated. Yes, but... You can add a header Priority: High (I think it's High) But only spammers use that [1], so it increases the odds of getting marked as spam. The urgency of an email, as defined by the sender, has turned out to be relatively useless, since the urgency, as defined by the recipient, rarely matches. While you may have the luxury of knowing for sure that the two urgencies (sender/recipient) *DO* match up, it's a rare occurrence. If you have sufficient control over sender and recipient accounts, you could add URGENT to the Subject: and/or set up filtering on the email client to force the message to be flagged there, based on criteria that are less likely to get the email flagged as junk. Maybe if Priority email cost more to send and bulk was cheaper, these settings would become meaningful again. But, as it stands now, they are largely useless to the sender. I'm sure some recipients re-prioritize email based on filters, and that remains useful. [1] This was an exaggeration, though not a huge one. Actually, savvy spammers no longer use a Priority setting. This is all for internal use. The PHP webpage is used as a honeypot on our website. When people visit the appropriate page, I would like an Urgent e-mail to be sent to my e-mail and my cell phone (to the phones email address). I am able to send text messages as urgent and they vibrate and ring differently already. I have the page working now, but it does not mark anything as urgent or high priority. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] prevent user from getting scripts outside the web folder [this better?]

As directed, I 'sanitized' all user input variables with trim and
mysql_real_escape_string.

the cleanser script:

the 'decrypt' function uses MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256 with a $key stored
outside the web folder.
many thanks :)
My understanding is that mysql_real_escape_string will only work while
you are connected to mysql. Not sure if that is the case in your situation.

[PHP] Setting up Linux and SendMail for SMTP
I have a Linux server on my network, however my main mail is handled by Thunderbird on my PC which uses my ISP's SMTP server (UserName and PW). Can I configure SendMail to send mail to my ISP's SMTP server using the built in mail() function of PHP? If I use one of the Mail Classes, I can do it and on my client's Linux server, mail() works (but they are not using an outside SMTP server).

The real world works that way because, as you just said, installing 2 php modules side by side is a great deal of system administration.

It's a great deal of system administration Let me get it straight. There are two ways of running PHP four and five on one server. First one is by using five's compatibility mode, and it breaks some of the old scripts. The second one is by using two different apache modules. It *does not break anything*, but it's a pain to setup. Judging sheerly by functionality and compatibility the second ways is better. However, judging from what I know about PHP, nobody tries to make that way easier, because everybody assume that everyone else use the first way.

Far less hassle to set-up. Probably why the largest independent hosting company in the world* does it this way.

Their reasoning was simple: PHP5 will inevitably break some old scripts, and it's just not worh all the trouble. Must be the same reason why we are all still using DOS since some of the best games just refuse to run on WinXP !? Noo... There are a whole lot of new scripts that don't work with PHP4 so I guess chances are the problem is already bigger in this direction (PHP5 code not running on PHP4) than in the other. The provider arguments are FALSE! If they don't want to break old scripts they can easily deploy both PHP4 and PHP5 as parallel installation, either one of them as CGI or by using two Apache servers and a proxy. The real arguemnts for the providers are a) They are too lazy to do this b) Two PHP versions in parallel might need more computing power which they refuse to invest for AllOLLi The answer is 42.

Seems to me that you are passing a value 'name' as the username, but when
you search the database, you are using a value of $_POST[user] which does
not exist.
Note that the correct syntax should be $_POST['varname']

That is incorrect. mysql_real_escape_string is a php function, not mysql.

[PHP] Volunteers Wanted for How-To testing / contribution
I've recently released version 1.0 of the WASP framework for PHP 5.http://wasp.sourceforge.netAnd I'm in the final draft stages of a How-To article:http://fioca.com/brian/wiki/index.php/How-To_Write_a_Simple_Blog_in_WASPWASP is a lightweight but powerful framework written in the spirit of (but rather different than) Ruby on Rails. The purpose, really, is to utilize all of the enhancements made to PHP in version 5 to build a reusable framework for large applications.I'm looking for volunteers to try out the How-To to see if it works, makes sense, and is easy to follow and complete. Any contributions will be properly credited in the final version. I'm also looking for contributors to the framework, especially in the areas of Windows support, and ensuring it works on many database platforms.Check it out and send me an email if you'd like to contribute, or join the mailing list and send contributions there.Thanks!Brian /** * Brian Fioca * Chief Scientist / Sr. Technical Consultant * PangoMedia - http://pangomedia.com */ smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
