I'd like to have a simple web app to be able to iterate through the tbls to test out what I have in them. I'd like to be able to have each tbl as a drop-down/select box, so I select from selecta, which lists items from TBL-A, which then uses the id from TBL-A, to get the items from TBL-B that matches. Selecting from drop-down for TBL-B, then gets me the list on TBL-C... I've got 3-4 tbls that are linked by their id. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'm asking if anyone has a quick app that they can point to that I can extract/modify the functionality for my needs... This is a frequent problem. You may want to take a look at this forms generation class that comes with plug-in named linked select that achieves precisely what you want. http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration It can link 2 or more select inputs, without chaining limits. It can switch to alternative set of options for one select when the previous input value changes. The alternative option sets may be defined statically, but there variants of this plug-in to fetch options from MySQL databases or any other database supported by Metabase or PEAR::MDB2 database abstraction layers. The plug-in may use AJAX to retrieve the alternative option sets from the server without reloading the pages. Here is a live demo: http://www.meta-language.net/forms-examples.html?example=test_linked_select Here you can see a tutorial video about the forms class with a section about this plug-in: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/video/1/package/1/section/plugin-linked-select.html Here you can see the slide presentation.

[PHP] XML RSS installation
I previously had my web page hosted on a shared Apache server. The web hosts installed the PEAR modules on the system for me. I have now decided to go to Godaddy who have a shared Linux server. They do not install PEAR modules and I have to do myself. I found the go-pear.php program and managed to get it to install PEAR, but the XML_RSS was not included. I scratched around further and found there is a file called XML_RSS-0.9.10.tar which I have downloaded to my PC. I can upload it to my web site with FTP but I don't know where to put it or what to do with it. I have been at this for 3 days now and need some help, what must I do now to get the RSS working. Yours truly, Joe
Re: [PHP] XML RSS installation
... You might be interested to know that with PEAR there is absolutely no need to use the installer at all. You may find it easier not to. For example the file you mentioned (XML_RSS) is here: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/XML_RSS/RSS.php?revision=1.28view=co You will need to replicate the directory structure, but that's not exactly a chore. This is the way I use PEAR components - I don't use the PEAR installer at all. Personally I think this way is far more convenient. The installer may make it easier when installing larger packages which have a fair few files, but personally I'd still go with this method. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 Graphing for FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari: http://www.rgraph.org (Updated November 29th) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

XSL is great for some tasks, but for this, I think having a good PHP XMLDoc (or similar type of) class is better. On a slightly aside note though, how would you apply the XSL to the XML using PHP? I know that you can have the stylesheet (XSL) called in from within the XML document itself, but without being able to change that XML document, how else can it be done?

Ash, I'd really like to hear you argue why you think so.
I can't help thinking it's a bit like saying I know there is a compiler
for C-code, but I prefer to convert to assembler by using PHP. I know
it's not quite that bad, but I hope you get my point.
On a slightly aside note though, how would you apply the XSL to the
XML using PHP?
Roughly like this: (this is from a project I'm currently working on).
--
// create the xslt processor object
if ( FALSE===($xp=new XSLTProcessor()) ) { print unable to create xslt
engine; return FALSE; }
// Load the XML source
$xml=new DOMDocument;
$xml-loadXML($list);
// then load the XSL stylesheet
$xsl=new DOMDocument;
$xsl-load('getfilebypos.xsl');
// attach the stylesheet
$xp-importStyleSheet($xsl);
$pos=$_GET['pos'];
$xp-setParameter('', array('pos' = $_GET['pos']) );
$file=$xp-transformToXML($xml);
$file in this case is just a single filename, no XML. My input data has
a list of filenames, the 'pos' argument from the URI identifies one I
need to process.

So here you're advocating loading the XML document into PHP to add an
element, then convert the XML into something else, for PHP to read back
in (not forgetting my original question said I need PHP to do some
operations on the XML.) Do you see why I just wanted a way to extract
the parts of the XML document I needed? This example is actually making
something unnecessarily complex just because XSL is deemed to be the
best way to work with XML.
I'm not saying that XSL is a bad thing, I've used it many times before
to convert various document formats, I just think that for what I
needed, XSL doesn't really suit the task at hand.

some operations on the XML.)
No, not at all. 1) no element is added, 2) the document is not
loaded 'into' PHP and 3) PHP 'reads back' output of about 30 bytes (a
filename + path).
None of the XSL+XML happens inside of PHP - it's done through the XSL
extension which is essentially all calls to libxslt.
Do you see why I just wanted a way to extract the parts of the XML
document I needed? This example is actually making something
unnecessarily complex just because XSL is deemed to be the best way to
work with XML.
Ash, my example above extracts a single element (specified by 'pos')
from an XML-document - it's all done by a standards-compliant XSLT
style-sheet, and very effectively so. The 8 lines of PHP code to
invoke the XSL conversion are virtually 'standard' too. I'm having a
hard time appreciating why that is better done by combining
somebodyelses custom code with your own custom code.
I'm not saying that XSL is a bad thing, I've used it many times before
to convert various document formats, I just think that for what I
needed, XSL doesn't really suit the task at hand.
I understand what you're saying, I just haven't heard a good argument
yet.
Gotta go watch Dr. House on the telly now. I'll be back tomorow
morning.

IIS has an option that lets you view the websites you have set

view the

Well, /usr/bin/log is for Apache on Linux, so won't be of any use to you

Stupid question, but have you searched for all *.log files? As far as I
know, you can't stop the server logging, and I think IIS locks the logs
to prevent accidental deletion. Generally speaking, the logs will be
pretty large files (depending on how busy your website is) if that helps
you narrow down your search.

Re: [PHP] Parsing XML
Per Jessen wrote: Ashley Sheridan wrote: [/snip] :p XSL(T) an xslt processor, along with an XSLT stylesheet, should be used to transform XML documents in to other XML, human readable or structured documents. DOM a class implementing the DOM interface should be used to traverse, analyse and extract information from an HTML or valid XML document for use in a computer program or to convert values to there primitive counterparts. E4X ideally E4X should be used where available as this provides native XML support, treating xml documents as primitive types and thus providing a faster, more acceptable way of using XML as building blocks in a computer program. PHP Support As far as I am aware PHP does not have any kind of supoort for ECMAScript let alone E4X so this can be removed from the discussion as quickly as it was entered. Leaving just XSL and DOM. Non programmatic XML usage: For all non programatic usage of XML documents (ie transforming the document in to html, a human readable document or another xml structure) then XSLT should be used. Examples: -Integrating the data from an RSS feed into an (X)HTML page and outputing it to a client application (non persistant stuctured document) -Converting an XML Packet into an OOo document and saving it in a file system (persistant stuctured document) Programmatic XML Usage: For all programmatic usage of XML, when you need to take the data from an XML document and use node or attribute values in a program, then the DOM API should be used. Examples: -Extracting the structured object data encapsulated in a SOAP response and using it to instantiate a class for further usage. (non persitant structured data for use by a computer program) -Converting the data values in a structured XML document, (lets say from the WOW Armory), into primitive values and then persiting the data into database tables. (persitant structured data for use by a computer program) Grey Areas: If you are using an ORM which uses XML schemas to define data objects then xslt may be the more appropriate choice, this would probably incur an extra XSL transformation to then convert the ORM's schema into an object. One could argue that XSLT could be used to transform the XML document in to an SQL string, however this would not allow (or certainly limited allowance of) programatic manipulation / validation of the data prior to injection into the SQL string. Alternatives: Regex or string parsing on an XML document can often lead to far faster but less reliable extraction of data for use in a script, probably so common in PHP as it's loosley typed language :p Obviously though if the XML document structre changes, you're pretty much stuffed - thus any form of native or strongly typed support is a far better option. Suggestion: Ashley, TBH the approach I'd take (if I had time) would be to create class(es) for the data, then create XML documents representing the object structure of each class, write methods using the DOM API to extract data from my XML documents and instatiate the class(es) with it. At this point I'd have an app that need never change. Then I'd drop in a simple XSLT stylesheet to transform the remote XML document in to my local structured xml documents and use the XSL processor to run this transform. Thus if ever the remote document structure changed all I'd have to do is quickly edit the XSLT stylesheet. But whatever you're cool with, a simple regex xml to array convertor is normally the fastest and most transportable way of doing this (ie it'll generally work on php 4 and 5 on any server); and when you're not using a pre-compiled language you need to give much weight to these things.

[PHP] category and sub category traversal
Hello,
I need some help in figuring out this logic.
I have two tables one for category and other for category_hierarchy.
category_hirerarchy has a column to determine the parent.
So the query I have to retrieve tree of one specific category is:
SELECT t.tid, t.*, parent FROM term_data t INNER JOIN term_hierarchy h ON
t.tid = h.tid WHERE t.vid = 16 ORDER BY weight, name;
The ones with parent = 0 is the top category
Now I need to prepare an associative array with parent child relation.
So bascially I need to retrieve [parentID] = array('childID', 'chidName')
Can anyone shed some light on the logic involved in preparation of this
array with out using multiple sql queries?
Thanks

[PHP] piecing together basic knowledge of paypal nvp api PHP - to work together
Hi everyone I have to produce just now, quickly, and so bridge 2 things I still know very little about (PHP and paypal), so I'll have to show my ignorance here. Anyone who has experience with the paypal nvp api, maybe you can help me?: I am successfully using the sample scripts paypal provides, but moving towards our own solution, I am making a link (the paypal express checkout button) from our shopping cart page to another page on our site where we do stuff and then redirect to the nvp api. I want to stick the payment amount (and other things) in that link's parameters, but then it is hackable (i.e. bad). My first thought is that i need to read about PHP sessions (which I have never done), so I can store stuff that I need to associate with the user's cart, but have it from the user, but then I thought I should start here to see if anyone can just tell me what you have done with this. I have so much homework to do I would like to start with what will actually solve my issues now rather than read the whole library just to complete this assignment.

What are 'tid' and the other columns? We can't see your schema so unless
you explain what columns you need to include, we can't help.
Not really a php question either.

[PHP] Multiple MySQL INSERT
Hi People
My real problem is that I dont know code. I can sort of edit it in a sloppy
more or less works fashion. Any help would be great.
This is the code Im having problems with:
//Example//
$id = 0 + $_GET[id];
$md5 = $_GET[secret];
$gig = 1;
$giveupload = $gig*1024*1024*1024;
$res = mysql_query(SELECT passhash, editsecret, status FROM users WHERE id
= $id);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
$res = mysql_query(SELECT passhash, editsecret, status FROM users WHERE id
= $id);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
mysql_query(UPDATE users SET status='confirmed', uploaded = $giveupload );
//send pm to new user
{
$msg = sqlesc(Hello and welcome to Cyber Drive In you have been
given a 1gb head start to help your ratio. .we are a strict but fair site
and our warning are based on the torrent ratio not the global just because
you have a good ratio dont mean you can hit and run if you do hit and run

$added = sqlesc(get_date_time());
$subject = sqlesc(Welcome to Cyber Drive In);
mysql_query(INSERT INTO messages (sender, receiver, subject, msg,
added) VALUES (0, $id, $subject, $msg, $added));
echo $SQL;
}
//end example//
This does confirm the user (without email , if you call it confirmed)
It does add 1gig to the new account.
However it dosent seem to want to insert into messages and by doing such
send a pm to the user defined in $id. I know this is very basic But a
friend of mine asked me to help him with his test site. Now I know a bit of
html and Im learning a bit of php as I go But the MySQL is like maertian
to me. :)

I diddnt see that right away. In fact Im combining 2 pieces of code. The
owner of this site dosent want to use a mail server and dosent want to do
a manual confirm. So I added part of the confirm.php to the takesignup.php
file
mysql_query(UPDATE users SET status='confirmed', uploaded = $giveupload
);
This updates *every* user to have a confirmed status. Probably not what
you want.
Add a

Believe me I agree with you... but this is how he wants it. It took me a
while to realize that the new user cant call up the confirm.php without
the mail with the link and the user name and secret word.

This is the way the code is when I got it. I think that this is how it
reads from the array. I can see where a table might be more use here.
You need quotes around your values:
$sql = insert into table(f1, f2, f3) values (' .
mysql_real_escape_string($value_1) . ', ' .
mysql_real_escape_string($value_2) . ');
Im guessing that the preceding line got a bit chopped in the sending
at least it dosent look quite right as it is. If I cut and paste this back
together I should be able to follow your convention.
Thanks for your Reply... and if you saw the first post in this thread..
