Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. :) It depends. What's exactly do you want to prevent? It doesn't seem like a ...snip... include, say, additional HTML content, use file_get_contents() instead. Very good points. My goal was to write a plugin that would allow me to include some static HTML template file and get the ?php include...? tags out of my CMS template. With that said, I think the only people using this code will be the developers of the templates, and not your standard user. I opted to use output buffering and readfile() for the speed, and include() would be an option if developers want to execute the code in the included file. Would file_get_contents() be faster than readfile and output buffering? Would using file_get_conents() and eval() be faster than using include() and output buffering? Without boring you all to death, I am mostly interested in learning new stuff! I actually don't think anyone will use this code other than myself. :D But I definitely agree with all your points.

[PHP] Replacing a special character
I have this form that people use to add entries into a MySQL database. Recently
I've had some users insert − in their entries instead of - which is causing
some issues with scripts down the line. I'd like to replace the − character
with -.
Originally I had something like
$name = mysql_escape_string($_POST[name]);
which would convert the offending character to #8722; before entering it into
the database. It's this encoding that is causing the problems since some
scripts send out emails with this entry in their subject line which looks messy.
I've tried adding the following line after the previous line to help fix this
issue, however, I just got another entry with the same problem.
preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);
Any suggestions on how others would fix this problem? I'd just like to fix it
before the entry hits the database instead of creating fixes on the other end
of things.
Cheers,
Michael

[PHP] Mail Function Using PEAR Issues
Hi,
After several days, I have rebuilt my system on Linux using Ubuntu, installed
PEAR and such. Thankfully, when I execute the code, it no longer gives me the
error that the class is not found. Yet, when I submit the form now, I can
always see the confirmation message telling me that my message has been sent,
but I cannot see it even in another mailbox.
Here is the code:
require_once(Mail.php);
$mail = Mail::factory(mail);
$your_name = $_POST['your_name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$question = $_POST['question'];
$comments= $_POST['comments'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];
$from = localhost;
$to = $email;
$subject = Comments;
$body = From: $your_name\n E-Mail: $email\n Reason Contact: $question\n
Comments:\n $comments;
$host = localhost;
$headers = array ('From' = $from,'To' = $to,'Subject' = $subject);
$mail -send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) echo p . $mail-getMessage() . /p;
else {
echo pMessage successfully sent!/p div id='main'
h1Thank You For Contacting Us/h1
pWe will contact you within the next b24 business hours/b./p
pHere is what you have input:/p
ulliYour Name is b . $your_name . /b/li
liYour Email is b . $email . /b/li
liYou contacted us because you have a b . $question . /b/li
liHere are your comments: b . $comments . /b/li/ul
h1Have a Nice Day!/h1/div;
}
}
Can anyone on the list please give me some pointers on what might have been
wrong here? I have not edited anything in the php.ini file regarding SMTP.
Thanks.
Alice

Make sure the database connection is also utf8:

Typically, you should keep everything in utf8 unless you have a very good
reason not to.
And as Peter mentioned, the proper way to escape MySQL inserts (that is, if

Re: [PHP] Replacing a special character
Thanks for the advice. I've changed the code to use mysql_real_escape_string.
So now it is
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);
but it's still not replacing the #8722; string. I've also changed the field in
the database so that now it is using the collation utf8_general_ci. I've also
tried
preg_replace('/−/','-',$name);
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);

Re: [PHP] Replacing a special character
Maybe you could try to assign the return value of preg_replace to a variable so
you can use it later, like:
$name = preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);

Maybe you could try to assign the return value of preg_replace to a variable
so you can use it later, like:
$name = preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);

Thanks for the advice. I've changed the code to use
mysql_real_escape_string. So now it is
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);
but it's still not replacing the #8722; string. I've also changed the field
in the database so that now it is using the collation utf8_general_ci. I've
also tried
preg_replace('/−/','-',$name);
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);
and that also did not work. Any ideas?

I have this form that people use to add entries into a MySQL database.
Recently I've had some users insert − in their entries instead of -
which is
causing some issues with scripts down the line. I'd like to replace the
−
character with -.
Originally I had something like
$name = mysql_escape_string($_POST[name]);
which would convert the offending character to #8722; before entering
it
into the database. It's this encoding that is causing the problems since
some scripts send out emails with this entry in their subject line which
looks messy.
I've tried adding the following line after the previous line to help fix
this issue, however, I just got another entry with the same problem.
preg_replace('/#8722;/','-',$name);
Any suggestions on how others would fix this problem? I'd just like to
fix
it before the entry hits the database instead of creating fixes on the
other
end of things.
Cheers,

One option is to send an HTML email which would have the email reader
interpret that code correctly
Bastien
Another option would be to use mysql_real_escape_string and make sure
that your code and the database are using utf-8. Then when the email
is sent, make sure that uses utf-8 as well.
Regards
Peter
Make sure the database connection is also utf8:
set names 'utf8';
Typically, you should keep everything in utf8 unless you have a very good
reason not to.
And as Peter mentioned, the proper way to escape MySQL inserts (that is, if
you're not already using a framework that does this competently) is
mysql_real_escape_string().

[PHP] How to do i18n better?
Hi everyone, I posted this in the PHP-i18n list, however got no answer so trying here). We are making a blog platform (http://oire.org/) which is provided in several languages (currently they are Russian, Ukrainian, and English). Now the i18n process is made as follows: we set a cookie on the site and depending on it we select the language to display the site in. We have three (currently) interface files: rus.lng, ukr.lng, and enu.lng (for English US). the format is the following: define (MSG379, Welcome!); etc. I know that PHP does support somehow exporting the strings into a .pod file. Maybe it would be better to do that? If so, how can I do it? Could you suggest me maybe a better solution than we currently have? Thanks a lot! -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre http://oire.org/ - The Fantasy blogs of Oire Skype: Francophile; WlmMSN: arthaelon @ yandex.ru; Jabber: arthaelon @ jabber.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A lot of systems just use conditional includes and a language array. So the following: Some main file: ?php $lang = tell_me_what_the_lang_code_is(); require_once( lang/messages.$lang.php ); ? And then in lang/messages.eng.php: ?php $messages['Welcome!']= 'Welcome!'; $messages['login-label'] = 'Login:'; $messages['blah-blah'] = 'Blah blah'; ? And then in lang/messages.fra.php you might have: ?php $messages['Welcome!']= 'Bienvenu!'; $messages['login-label'] = 'Accès :'; $messages['blah-blah'] = 'Le blah blah'; ? There's lots of variations on this also, but the above is a very common method.
