I think the Parse error might actually be on the last line of your query (
the .'; ). I tested that on my page and if I put in the query, as is, it
gave me a parse error. Without the ending .' it was okay though.
function view_post($tid){
__
$query = 'select forum_post.name, forum_post.time, forum_post.uid,
forum_post.message, priv_user.username from forum_post, priv_user where
forum_post.uid = priv_user.uid AND forum_post.tid = '.$tid.'; // HERE
__
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(Query failed: $querybr .
mysql_error());
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i=0; $i $num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['name'].' '.date('jS-M-Y',$row['time']).'

[PHP] Re: How to UPDATE two MySQL Tables
You can use REPLACE instead of making two separate queries (UPDATE and INSERT) because it checks if it is there, and if it's not, then it adds it; otherwise it updates it. I think that's right ... but the SQL server's SQL server is broken! (the irony!) That won't solve all of your problems, but it might help. Check up at www.mysql.com on how to use REPLACE Monty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... I have two tables: member_basic and member_detail. When a member edits their record, they can edit or add data for either table, but, the data stored in member_detail isn't required, so, they can possibly leave these fields blank. By the way, both tables would be linked by a member id. Here's my dilemma: If they do fill in any fields associated with member_detail, I have to first see whether or not there's an entry in the member_detail table already for that user (based on member id number). If not, I then have to check ALL the form fields associated with this table to see if any data was actually entered so I know whether or not to create a new record for the member in member_detail. If there is already an entry for that member in member_detail, then I can just do a standard UPDATE. Now maybe this is how it has to be done, but, I was hoping there might be an easier way to do this. It appears it's not possible to UPDATE a JOINed table during a query, which is what I was hoping. I am trying to keep the DB efficient by keeping optional data that may be left empty in another table, but, it's only making my life difficult, so, unless there's an easier way, I may just combine all the fields into one table and be done with it. Sorry for the long-winded explanation. Any suggestion are greatly appreciated! Monty -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If some with
Name : Jackson
Country : USA
exists in my DB, no one with same name/country should
be able to add his name/country in the DB.
Have your database handle that, not PHP.
When you create your table, make the combo of Name and Country unique.
CREATE TABLE your_table {
Name VARCHAR(15),
Country VARCHAR(15),
UNIQUE Name_Country (Name, Country)
}
Then you can have Jackson, USA, Jackson, UK, Someone Else, USA,
etc...just not the same combination at all.

Hi all.
Last nite I've came across a problem I wasn't able to figure out by my

(tr) to show several DB objects in a nice way. what I need to do, is
to display 2 or maybe even 3 of this objects stored in a DB per table
row, separated in different *TABLE COLUMS* (td). how can I achieve
this? What I usually do is:
--
// DB QUERY
$query = SELECT * FROM table_name;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
// NOW THE LOOP
for ($i=0; $i$num_rows; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo tr;
echo td;
echo $row[whatever];
echo /td;
echo /tr;
}
--
but how can I get 2 or 3 columns displaying different db objects? A loop
inside a loop?

Easy
Your form when pressed the button submit will send the data from the
form
via post (Which is the best method) to the functions.php with all the
functions. What you need to modify now is that all the input
type=radio
need to be modified to FuncToExec name.
When you receive the input of the form, you just verify what $FuncToExec
is
and execute the correct function.
?php
if($FuncToExec == joe){
joe();
}elseif(...){
}
... (All functions in your file goes there)...
?
Now what you also want to add is that if your JOE function is to return
something, the IF ELSE calling that thing should intercept the value
returned and this part of the script should either do something with
that
value or just redirect the value to another script by GET mode:
header(location: myresultpage.php?result=$result);
There, sorted that out right?

Hi, Justin.
Thanks very much for the reponse.
Yeah, this is a SUPER simplified form of my question, so please don't
expect it to make sense. Heh.
Basically, I have a php file with dozens of functions in it. I want
ONE of
them to get called when a link is clicked.
Currently, I achieve this with the use of HTML forms. My form
generates a
list of options. And the user has to select an option, then click the
SUBMIT button.
But I want to make it a one-step process, whereby the user only needs
to
click on the option.
Of course, you can't achieve this in a form with JavaScript, but the
JavaScript code won't let me execute a server-side php function
(obviously).
And I don't want to just shoot the link off to another page (even
though
that's what it was designed to do). I want to call a very specific
function.
Tricky, I know. :(

A HREF is supposed to take you off to another page (amongst other

I was thinking it was obvious because otherwise I'd have just been using that and not even posted about the a/a+. Using a works in the way that it is supposed to (it starts at the end), but what I wanted was to use append and then just append to anywhere in the file.

Then after I've done that I implode the array and w (write) that. This of course works perfectly, but once the file starts to get larger, I'm worried that it is going to become slow, so I was looking for a way to append (which now that I think about it, would do the same thing, only with less work on my part).

If you are just checking the name/password against an existing list,
then
you only need read. If you want to add something, then you need a
different mode.
However, I think you may be better off uing fopen, instead of popen, if
you are trying to do what I think you are. The documentation for
fopen has
a comprehensive description of the modes available; note that w is

[PHP] Re: include files and global variables
Hmm. Here's how you can make it load EVERYtime the file is included, plain
and simply. In the include file, create the function.and the call it after
you've made it. To get the other function to work, you might want to try
placing the function ABOVE checkMaster();
(you should probably simply put that in the same file, but above it).
functions.php
?
function myfunction () {}
myfunction();
?
I have the feeling that the problem with the session variable is that you're
calling it before anything has been done to define it in the main page, so
it is null when you check it. Try debugging it with echo statements here
and there that call out variables so that you know they're defined
correctly. Also, turn on error_reporting(E_ALL); (you can simply call it
at the top of the page--first thing). That will tell you when variables are
used if they're null and other errors that aren't fatal, but might cause
problems.

I have some pages which include a number of files.
In one of the include files I have a function which I wish to be executed
everytime the include file is loaded.
Therefore I place the function name in the include file at the top.
However, this function uses a session variable to decide whether to call
another function and it appears that this variable is not being carried
across. For example, the start of the include file might look like this:-
?php
checkMaster();
function checkMaster()
{
global $master_session;
if ($master_session[db_host])
{
connectToDB();
}
}
function connectToDB()
{
...
The master_session variable is not set and hence connectToDB is never
called.
If I place the checkMaster code in each page that includes this file then
it
all works fine. How do I get round this?

I believe it says Array ( $whatevertheKEYis = $theVALUE, $nextKEY =

I'll use that as the template:
I'll assume that you know how to get the expid and devid in there and I'll
just put them in there as numbers.
? $devselect = SELECT NAME=\devtime[]\ SIZE=\1\
OPTION VALUE=\1y\Less than 1 year
OPTION VALUE=\5y\More than 5 years
etc
/SELECT;?
FORMTABLE
TR
THexpid/THTHdevid/THTHdevlangu/THTHdevtime/TH
/TR
!-- a loop will generate each new row --
TR
TD1/TDTD1/TDTD?=$LanguageName[$expid]?INPUT TYPE=Check?
if ($UserKnows[$expid]) { echo CHECKED; }?
VALUE=language[]/TDTD?=$devselect?/TD
/TR
!-- this will end what the loop outputs --
TR
TD2/TDTD1/TDTD?=$LanguageName[$expid]?INPUT TYPE=Check?
if ($UserKnows[$expid]) { echo CHECKED; }?
VALUE=language[]/TDTD?=$devselect?/TD
/TR
etc...
!-- here's the hardcoded extras --
TD-/TDTD1/TDTDINPUT TYPE=Text NAME=DevSetLang[]
VALUE=TD?=$devselect?/TD
etc..
/TABLE/FORM
Now you can access them by (I think) doing something like this:
if (!empty($_POST[language][0])) // (I think that check boxes give if
they're not checked)
if (!empty($_POST[DevSetLang][0])) // you might consider making a separate
devselect variable for the text boxes, which will make it easier to check
(the array index will work easier)
I hope that that helps.

Re: [PHP] Re: HTML E-mails
What's so hard with stopping script kiddies (which is just about all you can do with an e-mail to my knowledge -- aside from attachments). In PHP or Perl you could easily write a script that kills ANY SCRIPT tags and APPLET tags, as well as anything else that might pop up anything. I don't understand why no one just does that with C++, it's not even that hard in that either (actually pretty easy because you just find the SCRIPT or whatever tag and then delete everything until the end tag ... if that means bye bye e-mail, then bye bye e-mail). Is there some other flaw (other than the awe-inspiring trust that of attachments that people have) that I don't know about?

I don't exactly know what is wrong, but I can definitely tell you that you
have two gaping security holes with this code. Unless you're doing checks
that you did not show (which is highly likely), $username and $id can be set
to anything. I'm not exactly sure how important/unimpornant some of that
stuff is, but you might want to make sure you kill off MySQL comment code
inside there and other possible exploits.
The other problem with your code is that you're not debugging it. Set up
echo statements here and there to make sure variables are defined as you
think they are, that's the biggest mistake I see myself and others make, not
defining variables as I think I am.

No, no, no! Look again -- I was contrasting this with:

Then the difference is { and } // end if as opposed to : and

functional,
because the PHP processor is getting to check the end* statements match
the
correct block opener, rather than just matching back to the next unclosed

me, this is such a huge advantage that I just can't understand why people
insist on sticking with the all-braces style, and that's regardless of the
fact that I just think it's more readable.
Oh, just as the other guy said, I don't comment my braces because I tab in
everything evenly (each if is another tab with the nested code tabed one
further). I do comment my functions end braces because they can get pretty
big and they're all at the same level of tabbing.
I think that most people (like me) use it because of their backgrounds in
other programming languages. I learned PHP after I was doing a lot of C++
work ... so it came very naturely.

Re: [PHP] Re: if syntax
PHP will tell you you have a syntax error on the very last
line of your
file, and you have no option but to go back and laboriously
hand match all
of your braces -- and with each ellipsis representing maybe
tens (or even
hundreds!)
Don't be ridiculous. Any decent editor will tell you where
the missing { or
} is. No need to search for it by hand.
Well, yes, but not the full story. If the only clue you have is that
there's probably a brace missing somewhere in the 600 lines of your file,
and some of your structures nest 7 or 8 levels deep, that's still an awful
lot of braces that you potentially have to check for matching partners,
even
with a helpful editor to ease the task. (And we know that some people
don't
have helpful editors -- just look at the requests in this list for
recommendations!!) If, on the other hand, you get a parse error at line
234
in one of the deeper levels of nested structures, your search is
immediately
much more focussed. This is just a plain fact, surely...?
I've never had a problem where it didn't give me a close estimate to where
the { or } was missing. And I'm one of those ill-suited NotePad guys
(my Visual Studio copy is at work and I reformatted this computer recently).
:)
Not to mention that if you've indented properly, it's trivial
to find it,
even in something as ill-suitable for Programming as NotePad.
Ah, indeed -- but, again, not everyone indents properly!!
I'm not sure that's a fair argument to make because you can say the same
thing about code with the if (exp): endif; code, I'm sure a lot of people
use it's simplicity (I do use it on occasion, but I indent like { }) and
then don't indent.
Now PHP will throw an error at the endwhile, because it
knows there's an
endfor missing -- and you've already cut out a large chunk
of your code to
check; better yet, as you're checking you can see at a
glance what each
end should be matching. And every end has to be there, too -- no
cursing yourself for that lazy day when you left out a few
comments on some
unimportant closing braces!
None of my closing braces have comments. I never have a problem with
missing ones.
If I miss one the PHP parser gives me a big enough clue for me to find it
within 30 seconds. I can definitely understand that though and I bet that
that is easier, especially in harder to read, uncommented code (that's a
general statement, not a shot at anyone).
You must have much keener eyesight than me, then. I often have difficulty
telling which } lines up under which { (when I'm reading code written in
that style, that is!), especially if they're on different pages of a
listing. When I code in a braced language, I *always* comment my closing
braces for this reason. Even in PHP using end* statements, I often add
comment to tell me *which* if an endif matches, just to be sure. (I
do
the same in VB, too!)
I've got the same idea as him, but I wear glasses (not bad vision though ...
next up from 20/20). I never added VB comments to my End If statements, I
might comment inside about what's going on, but never what's being matched.
I have the feeling your code is very readable, which is a good thing, but I
like my way for my own selfish reasons (much of which cannot be explained to
mere mortals!).
YMMV.
I guess. But I think other people's probably varies more, and the number
of
occasions on this list when I think but if you'd used alternative syntax
style you'd *know* where the problem was grows by the week.
You're probably right, but it is a religious and huge experience thing.
I've been working with { } for quite, especially a while outside of PHP and
I rarely have a problem (except when moving to ASP ... that normally takes a
quick relearning curve because of the VB syntax).
Oh dear, I see I've got into rant mode once more. Right, I'll shut up
now,
and that really will be my last word on the topic. Well, at least until
someone else brings it up again.
Oops.
Cheers!

I dodn't know of any single function that does what you want, but you
can do
this:
$contents = file($filename); // each line has it's own array position
$contents[$line] = $newline;
That's nice, except you could start overwriting existing data.
If you're only interested in appending to the end of a file, then use
$fp = fopen('filename', 'a+');
and fputs() all you want.
But, if you want to stick stuff into the middle...
# Real process uses file(),
# but for test, set Content manually.
$Content[] = 'The start of the content array.';
$Content[] = 'Some more stuff.';
$Content[] = 'And yet more stuff.';
$Location = array_search('Some more stuff.', $Content);
$New[] = 'Why, here is some new stuff';
$Final = array_merge(
array_slice($Content, 0, $Location + 1),
$New,

);

I'd create an array that held the Change value (0 [false] or 1 [true]) for

my aim is to have a user submit a form and then from there replace cell
colours with in a table. I'm referencing the cells by cell id's eg

td height=10 bgcolor=? echo $bg; ? id=ph1font size=-2
face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif1/font
/td
td height=10 bgcolor=? echo $bg; ? id=ph2font size=-2

face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif3/font
/td
td height=10 bgcolor=? echo $bg; ? id=ph4font size=-2
face=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif4/font
/td
/tr
now using a switch statement eg
switch( $bg )
{
case red:
print( #FF );
break;
//a few more colours in here
default:
print( #FF );
break;
}
what would be the best way to tell it what cell colours to replace on
submit would it be an if, for or a do/while statement that would be the
better option ( or any others that 4 that matter) if i wanted to have just
the cells with the ids of ph2 ph3 to be changed?

Re: [PHP] Generating word documents based on fields in a browser
Ya, I did it with ASP (customer requested) about 2 months ago... Chris Hewitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Craig, Its not PHP but HTML. I do this for a client. Make a Word document as needed, save it as rtf. Put a link onto my html page calling a particular routine. The routine reads the .rtf file, looking for replaceable parameters, replacing them with the customised values for this customer and saves the file under a new name indicating it is for this customer (still .rtf). A new page has a link to this new file. When the user clicks it, as their browser has the mime type for .rtf set to MS Word, Word starts up and opens the file. OK, in the application I did this in I used pl/sql (as the database was Oracle and there was no php) but there is no reason why you should not write a php routine to replace the parameters and resave the file.

Re: [PHP] sigh... forms
I don't have time to actually make the function for you, but I know it could
be easily done with a single function and a double for loop, which could go
through an two-dimensional array of the questions (first element), answers
(next group except last), and the right answer (last element).
basically:
$ArrCount = count($Question);
for ($Counter = 0; $Counter $ArrCount; $Counter++)
{
$Que = $Question[$Counter][0];
$SecArrCount = count($Question[$Counter]);
// SecArrCount should be the number equal to the last element (answer)
?SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Javascriptfunction CheckAnswer() {var RightAnswer
= $Question[$Counter][$SecArrCount]; }/SCRIPT?
for ($AnsCount = 1; $AnsCount SecArrCount; $AnsCount++):
?!--Write the HTML code with the PHP variables
($Question[$Counter][$AnsCount]) placed where they're needed--?
endfor;
$AnsCount++;
}
The other loop would then generate a table row kind of like this:
TRTD
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Javascript...
function CheckAnswer(str)
{
var Answer = ?=$Question[$Counter][$LastElementNum]?
if (
}
/SCRIPT...
$Question[$Counter][0]..BR..INPUT.. onChange=CheckAnswer(this.value)
or SELECT..options...
onClick=CheckAnswer(this.value)/SELECT../TD../TR..
I didn't check to see if any of that stuff worked, but it should give you a
basic idea of what I mean.
In response to one of your e-mails to me (for some reason I cannot send
e-mail right now, but I can post in here): RE: [PHP] Generating word
documents based on fields in a browser
I would think so, and with all of the functions with PHP it might be easier.
I had some trouble making up a template language in ASP, but in PHP it would
be quite easy because of the vast amount of built-in functions. You might
be able to fiddle with the exec(); function to start up programs on a
Windows server, but don't take my word for it.

Speaking of forms, and I'm sure lots have asked this before me, but anyone
know anywhere I can go to see some examples or existing code for
automatically generating and and validating dynamic forms?
Wait though, I'm already doing this myself. To explain further, what I
really want is an abstract set of php functions to say, ok, I want another
form with say 10 questions, and I want to define each question and set of
possible answers (input types and ranges) manually, and have the action
script automatically check that the input types and ranges for each
question
are valid.

Re: [PHP] Development Tools
I too am using a plain old text editor for PHP (Notepad), but I did enjoy the environment of Interdev for ASP...

All in all, it's just the way it makes my code look that makes me like them a little bit more than normal text editors. I don't use the tools in any of those to create my pages, I code everything myself (I like to code things, including the forms ... even if they do get annoying sometimes).

I have recently completed work on a PHP, MySQL driven job site for Technical employment. Geared toward independent contractors and the people who hire them. If any one has the time, could you look at: www.tech-temp.com and give feedback either on the list or privately? I *think* I have covered all the bases but could use the input Thanks, Bret -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Updating (appending) a file
I cannot figure out how to access the file and update it (which is just
/files/*.txt from where I'll be accesing it -- in other words I'm accessing
it from mydomain.com/index.php, but the file is
mydomain.com/files/Names.txt). By update I mean append. I tried to access
it with the complete local address (C:\\... it's a IIS5 server on Win2k; I
did use the \\).
So, what file path do I use to update (append) a file on the same Windows 2k
server as my web server (/files/*.txt is the location of the file relative
to the PHP code being executed).
I want to be able to update the file on my server (which can be accessed
through FTP the way $Location works out, if I do it manually in the
browser). My question is how do I go about accessing it? Do I have to use
the ftp_connect(); functions somehow or can I just go about with something
like this:
---
// This doesn't work though:
$Location = ftp://;. $Find-USER .:. $Find-PASS .mysite.com/files/.
$Find-BRANCH ..txt;
if (!$fp = fopen($Location, a))
{ // This is always what shows
Error(Error: 0001. File (. $Location .) could not be found.);
}
else
{
if (!fwrite($fp, $Find-Line)) // line is an HTML tag/link (Something
like A HREF=http://somesite.com; ALT=blah)
{
Error(Error: 0002. Information was not written.);
}
if (!fclose($fp))
{
Error(Error: 0003. File close error.);
}
}

I didn't want to make a new post, but my Reply - Send button makes Outlook crash (this isn't the web server! :)). More to the point: if that relative path doesn't work, and the path is right and the file does exist, what does that mean? -- if the php file is: mydomain.com/index.php -- and the data file is: mydomain.com/files/Names.txt -- -- then the relative path is not \\files\\Names.txt , it's -- files\\Names.txt -- -- HTH -- Martin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: RE: [PHP] Updated (appending) a file
Permission denied Yep. Crap. If I let PHP create the file (delete the files as they exist now), that will give it permission (because it will have made them), right? Thanks a lot for all the help.
