RE: [PHP] x12 837
yea, mine is all array based. I pull the data from a FoxPro table via XML (and jump through several hoops.) Then I have a main loop that spins through the data (which is ordered) and * creates a new PO if the PO number has changes (PO Object) * Create a PoLineItem for each line in the PO (POLineItemObject) * repeat. * PO's own POLineItems * All PO's are owned by the X12_850 object. Once everything is nicely sliced and diced into objects I call X12_850->generateX12(). This spits out all the necessary headers and then calls generateX12() on each PO. Each PO spits out all the necessary headers and then calls generateX12() on each POLine Item. Then it spits out the necessary trailers and bumps control back up the line. Once it's finished, I have a (honkin' big) string that represents the 850 document. Currently, I dump this out to a file for ftping but you could just as easily use CURL to call a SOAP process somewhere if your X12 partner had a brain.

Since no one else has asked, I'll bite. Why not just use str_rot13()? The biggest problem I have with your code is that you didn't learn enough about the language to know that this was already in the code. As a newb, you need to set down with your favorite version of the manual (I keep the windows help version open at all times) and familiarize yourself with the language.

RE: [PHP] Select multiple boxes
What you are describing is a "2 List Mover". PHP is a server-side language and as such knows nothing about what is going on on the client. Therefore you have limited options. My favorite is : In your form's onSubmit() put code to load all the values into a hidden field. (Assuming you have defined the hidden field) in your JavaScript put things like document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[1]='Value1'"; document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[2]='Value2'"; document.mainForm.storeStuffHere.value += "storeStuffHere[3]='Value3'"; Then, when the form is submitted use: parse_str($_POST['storeStuffHere']); This will create the array storeStuffHere with the 3 values.

Hi gang Been trying to figure out this session stuff, but since I was unable to make the manual sample into something workable, I instead decided to actually try and make the session do what I need it for: Passing the URL of the caller page to the page that's being called. 1. Only I can't figure out if there's a function to just pull the current URL and plop it into a session variable. The thing is that these pages are all built by using a bunch of GET variables in the URL, so it would be easiest to just do something like: $_SESSION['mother'] = $currentURL; And then in the called, daughter, page do this: >Get back to where you came from As the only other way I've found is to have it use the string-functions and re-build the current URL throughout the if-tree that builds the page. I need to pass the mother URL to the daughter pages because there's two main entry-points into the daugther pages, and one of them can have 10-15 different states... But how do you pull the current url? ParseURL just smacks it into an array, and I'll then have to rebuild it anyway ... which makes it about just as simple as running it through the if-tree. Whether or not the session-id is inside the URL is not essential to me, but dunno if php cares about it. 2. Since the above is required to function at all times, I need to override the expiration time. I can't do it in the ini file, 'cause I can't modify the server where it's to run, and it's set to 0 there... (not sure if that means it expires right away, or not at all) Anyway to do this???

RE: [PHP] Found a PHP bug!!!!!!!!!
Scott,
Because "8" != 8. "8" (and "08") is a string with the numerals representing
the number eight. It is not the number eight. (think back to basic math, the
difference between a number and a numeral)
PHP does some conversions for you automatically but that just saves you from
yourself. (Personally, I wish it wouldn't. People have more trouble
*because* of the automatic conversions than they would if they had to do the
converting themselves.)
To keep from running into this simply do the conversions yourself before you
do comparisons.
intval("08")==8

RE: [PHP] if (a == b) ...
Stephen,
"Friday August 22" evaluates to the number 0. (check the docs for intval())
Therefore the condition would be true.
I stated in an earlier thread this week. It is bad for to allow PHP todo
your conversions for you. At the least it's lazy, at the most it will cause
unpredictable results. (as is your case below.)
If you really MUST compare a string and a number, do an explicit cast first.
if ($a==intval("Friday August 22"))
or
if (strval($a)=="Friday August 22")
In both cases above, since we are explicitly casting, it is easy to predict
the results and explain them.
(In the above, the first should be true and the second should be false.)

RE: [PHP] Newbie Question
you have 2 functions named DBField. This was ok until 4.3. After 4.3 you
couldn't re-declare a function like this.
PHP does not allow for overloading like Java and C++ (It looks like that's
what you are trying to do)
Check the docs for overloading. There is some support for it but it's a bit
of a kludge. (IMHO, etc.)

Re: [PHP] Netbilling PHP Script
Mike, I'm glad you vented. Now let me. I say none of this in anger and quite a lot of it in amusement. Please don't take this the wrong way. (By saying that I'm insuring that you WILL take it the wrong way!) :) Why is it helpful to give a person the answer to a question that has been answered before? Why is it not more helpful to show them how to find the answer to their question and possibly to the next one...and the net one...and the next one. All of us at one point or another have gotten mad because they've been told to RTFM. (UTFG, UTFW, etc.) But the fact of the matter is if you get told that a couple of time, you may actually start doing it. Jason's search google answer is very appropriate for many questions asked on this list. The people who answer questions here do it of their own free will, for no pay, and in the case of independent consultants, at the expense of their paying work. (Those of you who are employed and posting from work are just slacking!) :) Therefore, it is their right to answer in the way that they feel most helpful. If RTFM is the quickest way to get a newb to start reading the manual instead of asking (yet again) how the mail() function works then that's what will be posted. Telling people like Jason off as you have done feels really good. But at some point Jason will decide that it's no longer worth while to bother to read this list and drop. Then you can tell off someone else who knows what they are talking about because they don't follow your rules of etiquette...and maybe they will leave. At some point, you will find yourself in the list all by yourself. (except for the newb over in the corner still twiddling with the mail() function) It boils down to this. mailing lists have been around longer than you or I have been on the Internet. (Unless you are Vint Cerf and if you are I HUMBLY apologize and bow at your feet!) The rules of mailinglist etiquette (especially for technical lists, which this is) have matured over the years and are not really up for discussion.

RE: [PHP] security login
If it's simple security then you might want to use an .htaccess file instead
of coding something.
More complex solutions involve asking the user for credentials, validating
those credentials and then storing something in the $_SESSION that indicates
that this user has been validated.
It can be something as simple as $_SESSION['isOK'] = true; to creating a
Person object with various credentialling information and storing it.
$_SESSION['currentMember'] = new Person();
$_SESSION['currentMember']->setLogin('myUserName');
$_SESSION['currentMember']->setPassword('someSillyPassword');
$_SESSION['currentMember']->load();
if !$_SESSION['currentMember']->isA('SYSADMIN){
die("Begone form here you freakin' script-kiddie!");
} // if !$_SESSION['currentMember']->isA('SYSADMIN)
// normal code goes here.
In the above example it is assumed that you have created a Person object to
deal with everything.

Subject: [PHP] security login
Well, first off sory for a very basic question, but i really dont know
where else to look for the answer. Heres my dilemma:
I need to code a backend for this site i am building, the backend will
manage the news for the front page. The database stuff is pretty straight
forward (so far!), but i need to validate who does the managing, i mean,
some sort of login for only a few people. I am thinking of using
username/pass from a table and all that but the thing is, how do i do the
validating itself? Sure i know how to check for valid user/pass, but then
what happens for the rest of the pages inside the backend, how do i keep
the user validated and make sure only he can browse inside that "secure"
mini site?
Dont know if i am explaining things right, hmm, ok, any of you guys are
familiar with gryematter? It validates the user at the start and then we
can do whatever we want inside. I want to prevent users from skipping the
login and just typing the other page url and go on from there.
I use sessions, cookies? what? can you provide me with some urls for my
research, or at least what to look for?
Thanks a lot, really appreciate all the help.

RE: [PHP] MySQL Current Row??
In (most) SQL servers there is no concept of 'row number'. Most DA's design tables with a unique primary key. This can be used to identify the row form all of the other rows but it is not the same as a 'row number'. Since you are using PHP you can set a counter to 1 before your loop and then increment it at each loop. This will give you the semblance of a row number but be aware it is not the same. These are row numbers within the cursor you are looking at. If your cursor is a subset of the table's data then the numbers you are counting do not correspond to the data in the table.

RE: [PHP] about $_post
Yes. $_POST[ID] Since there are no quotes around the variable name ID and no dollar sign in front of it, PHP will look for a constant named ID and if one is not found it will blow chow. $_POST['ID'] Should work find, assuming a variable named ID came from your form.

RE: [PHP] File Random Access
Rick, If you have a file that is to large to simply read into memory, do your inserts and then write back out then you need to move it to a database. Cluttering up the main code base with random flat-file reads and writes is not necessary. If you seriously need it then you can do as suggested, create a new file, read from the old file, insert at the proper place, close, delete, rename, rinse, repeat. If you think about it, that's what the php developers will have to do to accommodate your request. (assuming again that your file is too large to simply fit in memory.) It may be a need for you but in my 2 years of using PHP, you are the first person I've seen ask for it. Therefore I don't think it qualifies as a serious flaw.

RE: [PHP] Alley-OOP! ... or not?
Building off of what Jay said... I'm a hardcore OOP developer but agree that you must use it judiciously. Used in the correct way it makes maintaining/extending your applications much easier. There are times though when you don't want it. I usually find myself coding pages that have PHP in them. However, whenever I can abstract a task from the page and move it into an object that can be reused, I do. ALMOST ALL of my database interaction goes through objects. (I do some quickies where I'll code a mysql_query line in the page, but not often.) If it is a discrete task (database interaction) or an abstraction of a physical object (Person, Invoice, Order) then I use object. The code in the page mainly creates objects and manipulates them.

Hey all, I've seen quite a few programs that seem to greatly favor Object Orienting Programming (OOP) in their code. I don't mean to start a holy war or anything of the sort, but as a burgeoning PHP developer, I would like the opinions of my peers. So how about it, ladies and gents? Tell me about the Pros and Cons to OOP, and why you prefer to use it/not use it!

[PHP] Re: duplicating databases
Check out sqlyog. (www.sqlyog.com) It has a structure sync tool. After making the first change, you could generate a script to make the change to the next database and then take that script and parameterize it so that a PHP script could use it to update all of your database. HOWEVER, A better way to do this may be to re-think your entire schema. Instead of keeping the data in separate but identical databases, put it all in one database but add a key (owner, database, etc) to each table. Then in your selects, simply add to your where clause "AND ownerID=x". This way you only have 1 database but your data is kept separate. (Until MySQL comes out with views, then it gets a lot easier.)

Steve Buehler wrote: I am running PHP/MySQL for a program that I am writing. We will have 100's or 1000's of databases that will be duplicates in structure. The problem is when I make a change to the database, I have to go to every database manually and make the change. All of the databases start with "a_" and are on the same server. I would like to be able to have one master database and then run a script when I make a change to it that will get the structure of the master database and check all of the other databases to make sure that their structures match. If not, it will make the change to the other databases. Does anybody know if there is all ready a program out there that would do this? Can anybody point me in the right direction? Or if it is only a few lines of script that somebody all ready has to do this, can you share it?

Am I the only one using HoTMetal Pro 6.0 on Windows? Its PHP support has a very annoying bug when it encounters embedded HTML output contained within PHP standard tags, but using PHP long tags fixes that problem. Long tags help in other ways too, because they make HoTMetaL format your PHP script text as-is, letting you control indenting of the PHP text the way you want. And as long as you're not trying to embed HTML output inside your PHP tags, you can use PHP short tags in contexts where they make the most sense, like printing the contents of a single variable: VALUE="" Notice the omission of the "print" command. That's a neat little trick I learned from Matt Zandstra's book. Very helpful for quick output of a single variable. One thing I can no longer live without, is HoTMetaL's integrated FTP support. It's so good, the FTP site becomes part of your desktop. I can open a remote FTP file for some quick changes, without even storing it locally on my hard drive. And then just as quickly, save it back to the FTP site with the touch of one toolbar button. OTOH, after an editing session where I make extensive changes to the local copy of my project, its FTP file synchronization is everything I could ask for. And did I mention its excellent support for different HTML views like tags-on, WYSIWYG, and raw source? Did I mention its excellent table design and manipulation facilities? Did I mention its project management? Did I mention ... Yes I could go on and on. You get a screwdriver and some wrenches with your hammer. It's available at Amazon, discounted to about $70.

RE: [PHP] Function -> Sending URL's
Ok, what I would do is either pass in an array of key/value pairs OR pass in
2 variables, the key name and the value.
$keyValuePairs["name"]="Company1";
$keyValuePairs["address"]="123 Main Street";
$keyValuePairs["city"]="Anytown";
$newURL = testPassVar("http://www.calevans.com",$keyValuePairs)
function testPassVar($url, $keyValuePairs) {
/*
* There here in the function you unwind the array and add each to the URL
in the form of
* $thisKey=$keyValuePairs[$thiskey]

*/
return $url
} // function testPassVar($url, $keyValuePairs)
A simpler method is to pass in a single key and value and let the function
add them and return you the newly munged URL.
function testPassVar($url, $key, $value) {
//won't work if it's the first pair. need to test for that!
return $url."&".$key."=".$value;
}
$newURL = testPassVar("http://www.calevans.com?test=one","name","Cal");

Hey Cal -
this makes sense but the thing is that different parts of the site will call
such a function and they will all want different variables attached to the
end -
I could do it some other way - but I wanted to know if there was some way of
doing it by sending the whole URL(incl. the variables) and letting them be
dealt with by the function.

RE: [PHP] PHP vs JSP
Greetings Henti, While I personally prefer working I PHP after having just finished leading a team of developers on a large JSP project, I would advise you to use the technologies that your client is most comfortable with. Especially if they understand that it will cost more and are willing to pay the extra. It is my experience that while JSP is more powerful, you pay for that power in development time. Since the Java API is so broad, you sometimes have to hunt around for a while to find the right commands to do the job. PHP will do 75% of the job, do it fast enough to please most clients and developers can usually do it quicker in PHP. Does your client have overriding technical concerns about PHP? Do they have specific reasons why they are insisting on Java? (technical or otherwise?) I worked a job once where we had to deploy Solaris on Sun HW just because it was in the medical industry and the client did not feel that Linux would be accepted. It did not matter that it would eventually cost the client over 1 million on HW just to do the job. (We could have distributed a lot of low cost Linux boxes, done the same job for about 1/3 of that) Bottom line is some people just don' get it. If you want the contract then I would go JSP. If you don't want' it/need it, walk away.

RE: [PHP] PHP vs JSP
Actually, I understand what he's trying to say, even if I don't agree with him. The main problem people have had with load balancing is sessions. If a particular scripting language *cough*ASP stores session information in memory then the load balancing system has to always send the session from a given user to the same server. (during that session) IMHO, the easiest way to do this (without writing your own session handling scheme and then telling people about it but not divulging details!) ;) is to store the session info in a database. Using a central database for all sessions, any server can get to the session info for any user. I've just finished leading a team on a large scale JSP application. While it is slower to develop in (Java has a high learning curve, IMHO) The servlet engine we are using, JRun is fairly fast. Our bottle neck right now seems to be a poorly tuned Oracle database.

Subject: [PHP] String to Variable converstion
Hello all,
I am trying to build an IRR calculator using PHP. The number of cash flow
streams I will have at any time will vary, so I am using a loop to build the
formula. Then I am iterating to solve the equation and output the solution.
As most of you know, I am solving the following for r:
0=SUM SERIES(CF(i)/{(1+r)^n))
I can build my formula sucessfully with the following;
$form="";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$form.="$CF/pow((1+'$r'),$N)";
}
But it recognizes $form as a string, so when I put it in my "solution for r"
loop:
for($r=-1.00; $r<=1.00; $r=$r+.0001){
if($form>-.001 && $form < .001){
$IRR=round($r*100, 2);
}
}
echo "$IRR%";
BTW, I have also tried building the $form as a variable, but since I don't
have a value for $r it just puts in zero and sets $form equal to the right
side of the equation. Therfore, instead of inserting a formula into my
"solution for r" loop, it inserts a constant for $form.
I think my solution is to build the formula as a string and then insert it
into my "solution for r" loop, convert it back to a real formula and then
iterate for the solution. Is this possible? If not, any suggestions?

Subject: [PHP] How do I get Variables out of a string?
Hello!
I have been bashing my head trying to figure this out, and I'm hoping
somebody can show me the correct way to do this:
A PGP signed set of variables is passed to our URL via GET.
I use HTTP_GET_VARS to grab the PGP string, which is contained in a variable
called "trnResponse".
I run that through pgpv to end up with the raw string, which I store in a
variable called $rawstring
The string looks like:
trnId=1019&messageId=1&messageText=Approved&authCode=&trnDate=3%2F16%2F2
001+8%3A07%3A14+AM&trnOrderNumber=435643
That's where I get confused about the best way to pull the variables out of
the string.
I was using something like: $thearray = explode ("&",
rawurldecode($rawstring)); (this still leaves me with "+" in some places,
but I can use str_replace to get rid of them)
I was exploding on "&", but that leaves me with an array with things like
trnId=1019 in each "cell" It does explode properly, but now, how do I
pull these things out of the array and get them defined as variables??
Or...do I even need to put them into the array in the first place?
THANK YOU for any help someone might be able to provide!!

RE: [PHP] ASP to PHP
Having moved a moderately sized website last year from ASP to PHP I can say from experience that if you can re-write it, the move will go smoother and you will have fewer lines of code.

RE: [PHP] return multiple value from function
no, it's not possible to do it that way. If you need to return multiple
values from a function, your best bet is to return an array or some kind of
record structure.
By design, in almost all languages, functions only return a single value.

RE: [PHP] Secure MySQL connections in PHP with 'stunnel'
My suggestion, if you just want to move data between the 2 servers, is to mysqldump to a file, scp the file to the destination server and then mysql < filename to get it into the second server. You can't do it under programmatic control but it will work and your data will remain secure in transport. =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -Original Message- From: Stefen Lars [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Secure MySQL connections in PHP with 'stunnel' Hello all I have written a very simple PHP script to copy the data from one MySQL database table on SERVERA to another MySQL database table on SERVERB. Using PHP, I simply connect to each server and copy the data across. That works well. However, natively, MySQL works with clear text. i.e. the data is copied across the Internet in clear text (a bad thing). I would now like encrypt the MySQL data between SERVERA and SERVERB. After searching with Google, I see that stunnel is a tool to use. However, I have been trying with no avail to create an encrypted connection between the two servers from MySQL to work. Following the instructions at: http://www.zataz.net/php-stunnel-tuneling.php I have come up with the following: SERVERA (master) /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -f -P/tmp/ -c -d 3308 -r SERVERA:3307 /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -f -P/tmp/ -p /usr/local/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem -d 3307 -r 3306 SERVERB (slave) /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -f -P/tmp/ -c -d 3308 -r SERVERB:3307 /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -f -P/tmp/ -p /usr/local/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem -d 3307 -r 3306 This does not work. When I connect to the slave with: and select / insert data into SERVERB, the data is selected / inserted to the database on SERVERA. This is very strange. Has anyone else tried using stunnel to achieve what I want to do? If so, I would REALLY like to hear how you achieve the encrypted link. Or are there other ways of securely coping data from one MySQL server to another? Using stunnel seems rather fiddly Any comments on this subject will be well received.

RE: [PHP] javascript and PHP
since php runs on the server, not on the client, you have to pass the value of data back to the server. Normally, this is done via a GET or a POST from a form or by building a URL and using javascript to load it. (i.e. document.location = 'http://myserver.com/mypage.php?data=Hello%20World';) Then your PHP script can execute and see the value of $_GET['data'] HTH, Cal * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -Original Message- From: Steve Buehler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 10:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] javascript and PHP Does anybody know of a good/short tutorial about passing variables from JavaScript to/from PHP?

RE: [PHP] In Addition to [PHP] PHP Security
While I've never actually had that happen (If Apache crashes, NOTHING goes out the socket...not the source to the page) in short, there is very little that you can do to protect yourself against this. For PHP to get to the file, it has to be readable but the user that Apache is running under. Since include files get shoveled in before the page is executed, if Apache were to spew the source, your include files would go with it. That being said, I keep all my passwords in include files and keep the include files in directories that Apache can't serve directly. This provides some level of comfort.
