Hello,
Sorry...
If the hyper link is :
a href=javascript:popup('/$dir/index.htm') Test /a
So, how to apply the echo tag for it ?
Remark:
$dir is php variable...

Any Ideas?
Set the upload_max_filesize value for the directory where the upload
script lives. That would be the cleanest way to allow this to happen.
However, HTTP was not designed for uploading files of that size so you
are better off using an FTP server - this would almost certainly not
involve PHP at all. If security is a concern you could generate a
temporary FTP user from a PHP script that will get removed after, say,
24 hours. How you would do this will vary depending on the FTP server
you are using.
You could also set the ftp account up to be locked into a particular
folder.. so if anyone got access to it, they would only see the .rar
files and nothing else.
Easily done depending on which ftp server you are using but that's way
out of scope for this mailing list.

Hello all.
Is it possible to have a user defined function for the replacement
within an ereg_replace (like preg_replace_callback)? I am working on
a script that converts html pages with metric data into imperial
data. My script takes text strings containing one or more instances
of e.g. 123 mm, 321 mm, 123 kg, 123 cm2 and so on. The script
searches the string with a pattern like:
([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)(mm)
When the script finds an instance, it stores the matches into an
array - ereg ( $pattern, $textstring, $matches )
The replacement (for mm) looks like:
round ( ( $matches[1] * 0.039370079 ), 1 ) . $matches[2] . in
Everything is working great accept when the string contains more than
one instance for example of the metric unit mm. In that case, all
instances of xy mm will be replaced with the first occurrence.
So, a text like:
The product is 230 mm tall, 120 mm thick and 340 mm wide will
output as The product is 9.1 in tall, 9.1 in thick and 9.1 in wide
- because the replacement string is based / calculated on the first
occurrence 230 mm.
Alternatively, is there a way to limit

hi,
i want to do YES/NO confirmation (like POPUP). If YES, it will upload a file

In JavaScript, i can get using confirm(); But i am not able to do
manipulation from that javascript variable.
My Code(partial):
?
if (file_exists($fullPath)) {
echo ;
$decide=??php;
# It is Printing either 0 or 1. But I can't able to manipulate further. For
eg, i can't do like the following,
if ($decide) {
// Upload
} else {
// Don't Upload
}
}
Please help me reg this..Please provide some solution for this..Thanks in
advance.

you want to use double quotes echo ; instead of single quotes echo ' ';
the double quotes will parse any variables it finds, where as the single

Re: [PHP] if(), else() problem!
Well actually, all 80 fields (not records) that I'm displaying out of the
row (matched by phone number) have to be displayed on the page.
Non-Editable. Just displayed for viewing.
I am certainly using the query to search dbase and display the results. So
technically nothing that I'm doing is causing any problems...
As for the if(), else()... I did figure out a couple of ways to do it... But
I guess the simplest one was the one you jochem had suggested, which is
pretty much like...
$db = dbase_open(osm.dbf, 0);
if ($db) {
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($db);
$found = false;
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($db, $i);
if ($row['PHONE'] == $thekey) {
echo ³found²;
$found = $thekey;
}
else {
// echo ³not found²;
// do nothing here
}
}
if (!$found) echo not found;
}
Basically used a 'flag'... If phone number was matched (found) in the
dbase... Everything gets displayed and nothing happens in the else() ... But
if phone number was not found, flag is raised, i.e., error message
displayed.
Working like a charm as far as I can tell.
Thanks!

Are you displaying 79 records not editable, and ONE that is editable,

That's an Okay Reason, but you'd probably have happier users if you

Give them a link to edit ONE record and let them edit that all by
itself and then come back to the list when they are done.

Captain wrote: My requirement is, i want to upload one file. i am checking whether it exists or not in Server side. Your script will have to work in stages, generating a page and sending to the browser on each stage: 1. Make a form to upload a file for the user to submit - this is just ordinary HTML. 2. Once the form is submitted to your script, process the file: check if it already exists. If it does not, just move the file to a permanent location and go to step 4. If it does, move it a temporary location on the server, and generate a page with a second form, asking the user whether they want the file replaced. 3. Once the form from step 2 is submitted, if the file is to be replaced, move the file from its temporary location to the permanent location. 4. Generate a page saying the operation went through fine.

Re: [PHP] ereg_replace with unser defined function?
Hi Frank,
I think preg_replace_callback is a good solution for you.
If you don't want to use it, you can construct two arrays defining
matches and replacements.
For example:
$matches
[230]
[120]
[340]
$replacements
[9.1]
[replace2]
[replace3]
After you stored matches in $matches using regular expression like
yours,/preg_match_all
http://it.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-split.php/
(([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)(mm), $string,
$matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)
you can define $replacements by this way:
for(int =0; icount($matches); i++){
$replacements[$i]=round((substr($matches[$i][0], 0,
3))*0.039370079),1); //take the last part of match with no digits, I
don't know if there are sure 3 digits
}
for(int i=0; icount($matches); i++){
preg_replace($string, $matches[$i][0], $replacement[$i].in);
}
hope to help you

Ron Note that both solutions so far are only partial solutions for most real world scenarios. For example: 0001-12-25 will pass both, and would appear to be Christmas #1 to the average human eye, or a least readily identifiable in context as such. Unfortunately, we've made rather of mess of dates and calendars over the centuries, and 0001-12-25 is unlikely to be correct in any real sense of the word, for most applications. So you probably should include several more stringent checks suitable to your web application. Some examples: Birth dates for living humans would be current date - 120 years range. Credit card expirations should be current date + 10 years (I think...) -- Actually, older dates are 'valid' but the credit card won't go through anyway, so that might need 2 separate checks. My point being that there really cannot be a single valid date check because there's no way to be certain of the unique needs of your web application. The vagaries of date/time input are legion. And don't even get me started on the goofball 15-minute offset time-zone thing... :-) -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

[PHP] PHP solution for virtual folder management
Hi all, WE are developing a system and now we have to create our own folder management system, it however wont be physical folders on the hard drive but more database entries and then the user will view the output as if they were directories. So Im looking for possibly and open source solution that can manage that information/folder hierarchy. The user will be able to add, edit and delete folders but most importantly move a folder with all its contents to an exisisting folder. The moving folder part is not easy. the other functions like add, edit and delete and list sub folders is pretty easy with the parentID pointing to the parent directory. if anyone has any links, or any thing that might help it would be greatly appreciated.

More importantly, you should not even WANT to do what you want! There are several reasons for this, and they are rather subtle, and require a mind-shift in your thinking. The first thing you MUST get used to is that the SERVER where your PHP script lives is VERY far away, in all respects, from the CLIENT where your user sits and the POPUP appears. PHP can't be involved in the POPUP because it's nowhere near that popup -- PHP spits out the HTML and Javascript and then PHP is *gone* The second reason you do NOT want to do this is this: Suppose you could even make it work -- Throw in some AJAX-y Web2.0 thingie that checked back to the server every 2 seconds to make sure I put in a different filename. Fine. You *still* have a BIG PROBLEM in that you are, almost for sure, dealing with a web application where ANOTHER user can upload the same file name in between your check and when the upload is actually done: Imagine 2 users working at the same time: User 1 User 2 Check A.txt: OKCheck A.txt: OK Upload A.txt Upload A.txt As you can see, only one of the users is going to win this race -- when they each checked if the name was already taken, everything was fine. But once they upload, one of them will be first and get the name, and the second will either overwrite the first, or it will get rejected anyway.

If you're new to PHP, be a minimalist, and pull out PHP only when you
absolutely have to:
a href=javascript:popup('?php echo $dir?/index.htm') Test /a
Since $dir is the ONLY part you want to be changing, use PHP only for
that part.
Switching in/out of PHP like this is very fast/cheap, and leaves you
with HTML that mostly looks just like you are used to.

Is there any way I am able to automatically change the owner of the file to my FTP login identity (for example 'rpiggott') Yes, no, sort of, maybe, and exactly how depends. See, here's the thing. If you, rpiggott, or if www, could just chown (change owner) of any file to anything they wanted, that would be Very Bad. Cuz you could change a file to be owned by 'root', then chmod it to be run *AS* root, and then you essentially *are* 'root'. And that's bad. If you don't know why that's bad, you're way behind on your reading... Anyway, here's what you can do, that should work no matter what else is happening on the machine: User www can make the file world or group readable with http://php.net/chmod when the file is created. If rpiggott and www are in a common group, group readable is enough; If not, you have to use world readable. Use group if you can. Once www's file is readable by rpiggott, then rpiggott can copy the file in a cron job or shell script that www can execute, or... When rpiggott copies www's file into a new file, then rpiggott is creating the file, and it should be owned by rpiggott. Another option, if you happen to have 'root' on the machine (which would be kinda scary given the original question, but there it is) you can make a root-owned script to just chown the files, and run it in a cron job. Before you do all this -- Think carefully. Sometimes changing ownership has broad and drastic implications. You may want to just have www chmod the file so rpiggott can read it or even write it, and then you don't have to go so far as chown. As a general principle, always do the minimum needed to get the task done, when it comes to chmod/chown. -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

The oci8.persistent_timeout setting in the php.ini file is documented as : The maximum length of time (in seconds) that a given process is allowed to maintain an idle persistent connection. Setting this option to -1 means that idle persistent connections will be maintained forever. If I do not want the connection to be persist forever, then by using this setting, I should be able to ensure that a connection is not idle for longer than what I specified. However, when I set persistent_timeout to 10 seconds, I find that the connection is not terminated even after 10 seconds have passed. In fact, it doesn't terminate at all. So the question is what is the purpose of this setting ? And what does an 'idle connection' mean ? A google query for 'idle timeout' yields enough results to point that when the timeout occurs, the idle connection is terminated. Obviously there is a bug somewhere. Either in the documentation or in the behavior. Please advise. I think that there is no bug and that option is useless. If you are using Apache, it will rotate the processes that serve each request. So, unless your server is mostly idle or your scripts rarely access the database, your connections will keep being reused before reaching that timeout. If you are willing to reduce the number of persistent Oracle connections, you will most likely get better results if you move your site images to a separate Web server. Image requests do not establish Oracle connections, but they raise the need for Apache to fork more processes, which leads to more opened persistent connections.

Re: [PHP] Using mysql_real_escape_string
mysql_real_escape_string() is a function that returns the post-processed value.
So you can either do it like this:
$safe_value = mysql_real_escape_string($unsafe_value);
then use $safe_value in your query, or put the function right into your query:
$myQY = INSERT INTO sometable (value) values (' .
mysql_real_escape_string($unsafe_value) . ';;

Perhaps something like this: (not sure how this would play with the
limit key word, but you could play around with it...)
If you can guarantee that a record (order_id) will appear in both
tables, a simple join will work...
but if a record in table A exists but not in table B, a join will not
return that record, which is why there is a left outer join.
select o.order_id, o.order_date, o.order_status, uf.file_name
from orders o left outer join uploaded_files uf on uf.order_id = o.order_id
order by o.order_id desc
Not sure if mysql supports this..??

if ( !ereg ( [[:digit:]], $text ) ) // if the text does not
contain any numbers, return the text as it is
{
return $text;
}
foreach ( $convertTable as $convertKey = $convertUnit )
{
$pattern = ((\d{1,10}[,|.]*\d{0,10})*(\s)(%s)([$|\s|.|,|\)|/]+|
$)); // this regex looks for a number followed by white space,
followed by the metric unit, followed by a closing character like

$pattern = sprintf ( $pattern, $convertUnit['metric'] );

Hi Frank,
I think preg_replace_callback is a good solution for you.
If you don't want to use it, you can construct two arrays defining
matches and replacements.
For example:
$matches
[230]
[120]
[340]
$replacements
[9.1]
[replace2]
[replace3]
After you stored matches in $matches using regular expression like
yours,/preg_match_all http://it.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-
split.php/ (([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)
(mm), $string, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER)
you can define $replacements by this way:
for(int =0; icount($matches); i++){
$replacements[$i]=round((substr($matches[$i][0], 0, 3))
*0.039370079),1); //take the last part of match with no digits, I
don't know if there are sure 3 digits
}
for(int i=0; icount($matches); i++){
preg_replace($string, $matches[$i][0], $replacement[$i].in);
}
hope to help you

Hello all.
Is it possible to have a user defined function for the
replacement within an ereg_replace (like preg_replace_callback)?
I am working on a script that converts html pages with metric
data into imperial data. My script takes text strings containing
one or more instances of e.g. 123 mm, 321 mm, 123 kg, 123
cm2 and so on. The script searches the string with a pattern like:
([[:digit:]]+|[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)([[:blank:]]?)(mm)
When the script finds an instance, it stores the matches into an
array - ereg ( $pattern, $textstring, $matches )
The replacement (for mm) looks like:
round ( ( $matches[1] * 0.039370079 ), 1 ) . $matches[2] . in
Everything is working great accept when the string contains more
than one instance for example of the metric unit mm. In that
case, all instances of xy mm will be replaced with the first
occurrence.
So, a text like:
The product is 230 mm tall, 120 mm thick and 340 mm wide will
output as The product is 9.1 in tall, 9.1 in thick and 9.1 in
wide - because the replacement string is based / calculated on
the first occurrence 230 mm.
Alternatively, is there a way to limit ereg_replace to only
replace one instance at a time?
Hopefully I am not too confusing...
regards,
/frank
ps. of course I have searched the manual and asked Google - no
luck ds.

Re: [PHP] need help to build a query
Yes you are right, but I guess you can decide which is worse: sending extra data in one query or send extra queries. I guess it depends on how many records we're talking about... Brad also brings up a good point I hadn't considered. I do think an OUTER join is possible, perhaps depending on your mysql version... Which brings up something I had meant to say before, which is that this isn't actually a PHP question... :) John W On 10/9/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: But, in this case I will have repeating order_date and order_status info? idorder_datestatusfile_name 122006-10-09live file1.jpg 122006-10-09live file2.jpg 122006-10-09live file3.jpg 132006-10-09live file1.jpg 142006-10-09live test.gif right?

[PHP] Working with overly aggressive anti-spam measures
PHP List,
I run a few various social groups, and with each one I keep in contact
with members by emailing them short newsletters.
All my user information is stored in a MySQL database. I use PHP to get
the relevant contact information, and use the mail() command to send out
the emails one by one, so that each email is a little personalized.
I've used this system for many years now with no problems up until now.
What has changed, though, is that in recent years, anti-spam measures
have become so aggressive that more and more people who sign up to my
groups complain that they never receive the emails.
A lot of the times, after they alert me to the issue, I can educate them
a little about the anti-spam measures they most likely have on their
system, and walk them through how to make it so that my newsletters go
through.
However, that is clearly not enough.
To shorten a story that has already gone on a little long, it's come to
my attention that part of the reason that my emails may not be getting
through are because the headers are not sufficiently legitimate looking
enough to bypass some server side anti-spam measures. Things like
Return-Path are being set so that they look like they come from an
email address that begins with the username nobody.
If possible, can anyone help me with creating the PHP code that will
make an email as legitimate as it can be? I know I can't totally prevent
my email from being marked as spam (after all, if it were possible, all
the spammers would do it). But as much as I can prevent anti-spam
measures getting a false positive when testing my email, the better.
Here is the PHP code I currently use (trimmed for clarity):
while ( $member = mysql_fetch_row($mysqlResult) )
{
$subscriber = $member[0];
$email = $member[1];
$subject = Report for . date('l jS F Y');
$mailContent = This is an email to . $subscriber . at . $email . .;
$fromAddress = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mail($email, $subject, $mailContent, $fromAddress);
}
And here is what the headers for an email from that code looks like:
-Account-Key: account5
X-UIDL: UID497-1152485402
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
X-Mozilla-Status2:

Re: [PHP] ftp_put and ftp_chmod does not work
João Cândido de Souza Neto wrote: Hello everyone. I have got some parts of my system where some files are sent and i use ftp functions to save suche files. When i run it in my local machine, it works fine but, when it is on the server i got some errors. I was using ftp_put to copy such files from upload_temp folder of php to my system own folder and it does not work, i thought it could be because the ftp user has no permission in upload_temp folder of php. Most likely. ftp users are usually locked in to their own home folders and can't access any other parts of the system. It's simply a security thing. Then i tried to use php_chmod to give permissions for the apache user, move_uploaded_files to move such file and ftp_chmod agais to remove permissions. It does not work too, i think it is because the server has safe_mode on. chmod will be affected by safe mode (please read the documentation): When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed. In addition, you cannot set the SUID, SGID and sticky bits. move_uploaded_file will always fail because the file isn't uploaded through a form.
