Fw: [PHP] mySQL Queries using PHP's SESSION variables
You might be making it more difficult than it needs to me. You're not
dealing with a huge number of queries here so why not just loop it? I would
simply loop through the $_SESSION array and query the dbase for each item.
foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $val)
{
$query = "SELECT * FROM inventory WHERE itemnumber = '$val'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
// .. blah blah blah...
}

Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()
That should definitely be working. Only thing I can think of is that you're
database name isn't correct. You're certain "news" is the full name of the
database.. I mean it's not "news_com" or something like that? The $link
must be valid becuase the script isn't ending with "Couldn't make
connection". So that just leaves the mysql_select_db() function. And the
only thing that will make that function return FALSE is if it can't find the
database name for that user on the specified server.

Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()
You beat me too the punch and I think you explained it better than me, but
just one minor little thing to note. Where you said..
"if ( $result = mysql_query($sql)) "
This is not a valid way to check if the query has returned anything.
mysql_query() returns FALSE on error. So if there was no error but there
also wasn't anything returned then the object stored in $result wiill more
than likely evaluate to TRUE. For the determining factor you should count
the number of rows with mysql_num_rows($result). If the returned value is
zero then you know it hasn't returned anything.

Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()
Try using mysql_query(); instead of mysql_db_query(); The SQL query is the
first parameter in this function. The second parameter is a pointer
connecting to the mysql server. The pointer is generated by mysql_connect()
and you'll also need to select the database with mysql_select_db(). But
it's the standard way..
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password");// connect to
mysql server
mysql_select_db("mytable", $db);
// select database by name
$query = "SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id"; // define query to
submit
$result = mysql_query($query, $db); //
submit query
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
// skip if no rows were found
{
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
// .. do whtever..
}
}
mysql_close($db);
It's also a common practice to put the first couple of lines in a file to
include() back into your main script so that you can protect your useranme
and password.
Good luck.

Re: [PHP] Re: parsing
Lee, yes you're right. Using single quotes to denote a litteral string does
speed things up a bit. My bench sped up by about .08 seconds over 10,000
echos. That's about 5 pages worth of text. Is .08 seconds worth worrying
about? I'm gonna go out a limb here and say.. no. :)

Re: [PHP] parsing
I just benched it. If there is a difference in performance then it is too
small to detect with microseconds. I'd say there's no need to parse the
vars by hand unless the syntax requires it.

Re: [PHP] Comma question
Curly braces {} are sometimes required for PHP to properly parse variables
within quoted strings. Good example might be defining variable-variables
within a quoted string "${$myvarvar}". However I do not believe that curly
braces are required in this particular string.
As for the comma I believe it does the same thing as the period. It will
concatonate the quoted string with the output of the htmlspecialchars()
function within the echo statement.

Re: [PHP] Refreshing session variables
I think you're missing some fundamental concepts of sessions here. You must
think of the session as a file that you're going to include into the script
(becuase.. that's litteraly what it is). But instead of using include()
you're going to use session_start();
(refresh)";
?>
When you activate this script for the first time three things happen..
1) the session file is created on the server
2) a cookie with the Session ID is stored on your computer
3) $myvar = 'peek a boo'; is added to the session file
When you click refresh to reactivate the script, PHP will match the session
id stored in the cookie to the file stored on the server, and include the
variables into the actively running script. $myvar is now available and the
contents are printed to the screen then unregistered (removed) from the
session file. The third time around it's going to stop in the if() portion
and reregister the variable. Adding and removing lines from a file and
including them into your script.. it's no more complicated than that.
Hopefully now you'll be able to fix your problem and learn to use sessions
reliably and effectively. :)

Re: [PHP] PHP codes and variables
In that case you'll have to use the output buffering method ob_start(); The
include() function parses and executes any valid PHP code within the file
and produces output (if any). Output buffering captures the display output
and stores it until you clean the buffer or the script terminates.
ob_start();
include ("header.php");
include ("body.php");
include ("footer.php");
$out = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo $out;
Note: instead of ob_end_clean() you can also do ob_end_flush() to send the
output to the display and destroy the buffer simultaneously.

[PHP] How do I send files with HTTP socket post (PostToHost)
Okay enough answering questions this week, now I have a question to ask. :) I have a situation where two web servers need to share files with one another. FTP is not an option. So I am resorting to HTTP socket connection. I am able to open the connection (using Rasmus's PostToHost function) to PHP scripts running on both servers and send structured queries back and forth. This was easy. The queries can trigger actions so that I can communicate seamlessly and do work. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send whole files (mostly image files). There's obviously more to it than just sending the ASCII conversion. I really don't have any meaningful code to show you. The code is all standard anyway so if you know what I'm talking about then you have probably coded it yourself at one point or another. Are there any tutorials or examples out there that will show me how to send files using fsocketopen() and POST method? Much thanks!

Re: [PHP] PHP codes and variables
Or use implode instead of join makes skips the step of extracting the
index..
$file = implode ('', file ("afile.html"));
If you'll be sending more output than just one file then another favorite
method is this..
ob_start();
readfile("file1.txt");
readfile("file2.html");
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Re: [PHP] Re: Table Making
Well I guess I'd better get my 2 cents in. :) There is a natural
progression to HTML tables so why fight it? I think the cleanest way to do
this would be to reorder the array instead of trying to come up with a
clever way to build the table. Set the number of table rows you want then
use that as an offset to the dates array. Simply ask
if(isset($dates[$i+$rowoffset])).. five lines of code in a for() loop and
you got it licked. Then you can run through the new array and generate the
HTML table linearly without any tricks and pad with the necessary number of
cells.

Re: [PHP] Re: Development Tools
Matt, you're little behind on the times. Most of the Homesite 5.0 editor has already been integrated into DreamweaverMX. They even have a Homesite "mode" which is what I use. :) There are many benefits to DreamweaverMX. The FTP functionality in is completely seamless and works very well. DWMX's "site" feature is similar to Homesite "projects" feature except that it actually works right. The coolest feature of DWMX is it's properties bar which makes updating HTML tags a breeze. That being said DWMX is not without problems. It's slower than Homesite5.. which its self was a dog. The code coloring doesn't work as well as in Homesite. There is no instant way to browse an HTML file. There seems to be a bug in the Find/Replace. Then there are little user interface issues uch as TAB which doesn't work intuitively (tab a selected line and you expect to replace the line with a tab but no it tabs the line to the right.. it doesn't make sense). You can't triple click a line to select it. Line indentation is a three key shortcut.. hardly a short cut. Little things like that. Anyway there are more things I like about DWMX than dislike. I suggest you d'l the 30 day demo and check it out. http://www.macromedia.com -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Matthew K.

// or //

If register globals is ON you can access the variable directly..
if (isset($submit)) {}
Otherwise you can extract the post array before testing the variable..
extract($_POST);
if (isset($submit)) {}
Hope this gets you started. Read up on the manual. http://www.php.net. :)

Re: [PHP] Trying to locate an image file name from another site
If the filename is in fact a timestamp then you can find it using a brute force method. All you need is a for() loop and fopen(). Start your search at midnight the previous night and add one second to the timestamp each itteration. If the fopen() function returns something other than FALSE then you know you've found a file. There are only 86400 seconds in a day.. peanuts. Probably take PHP two minutes to run through, if that. You could put the script on a cron job to have it give you the new filename each morning. You may even find that the script building the image file is also on a timer.. so after a few days you may be able to skip the brute force method and simply predict what the next filename will be.

Re: [PHP] storing an array in mysql - what's the best data type?
You can store arrays as strings with..
$str = serialize($ary);
.. and turn a serialized string back into an array with..
$ary = unserialize($str);
The string can be stored in either a TEXT or TINYTEXT field. Is this what
you wanted to know? I had trouble following your code after the for loop.
$headline, $byline and $bodycopy are variable names stored in the database?

Re: [PHP] UNSETing Session Variables
I fear you're missing something fundemental here. The active session needs to be
requested for each script. So session_start() needs to be called at the top of each
script (or at least before any output). Example..

Subject: Re: [PHP] UNSETing Session Variables
Sorry about that I should have been more detailed.
session_start() and all of my session_register() calls happen on login.php
here is a sample session_register call.
session_register("currentbid");
I am under the impression that I only need one session register call.

I more or less figured that. below is the code for the two pages in question.
Page 1:

echo ""; echo "Phone"; echo "";
echo ""; echo "Address"; echo "";
echo ""; echo "Admin"; echo "";
echo "";
if($users)
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($users))

if($row[3])
echo " Yes ";
else
echo " No ";
print "

}
?>
page2:
User Update Page
Please enter the new information into the fields below.
Current Information

}
?>
The first page gives the admin user a list of users, and three options (change their
information, delete them, or make them and Admin). The option we are choosing is to
change information. If I select user number 1 the only way to edit another user is to
log out and log back in.
If any of the code is unclear please let me know. I haven't gotten to commenting it
all yet.

Fw: [PHP] Checking for a successful login and setting a global flag.
Simply put you can not protect HTML pages through your login system. You must have some kind of continuous login/check at the top of each page. Give the page the .php extension so it can parse and execute the check. If you're using Cookies that's perfect.. you can just check for the existance of that cookie at the top of each page. Same thing if you were using sessions. They can only get the cookie or the session from one script... your login script.

Re: [PHP] Editing Word Documents
Of course you can open and edit any file in PHP you just need to know the file format. But I highly doubt there is any method using PHP that will allow you to prompt the opening of a file into an external application. Editing of the file would have to be done in memory, or manually in the browser (HTML form, textarea field). Unfortunately Microsoft is notoriously protective of its file formats. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Chris Hewitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Russell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "php-general" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Editing Word Documents > David Russell wrote: > > > snip-- > > 5.

[PHP] Error: Unable to fork (PHP 4.21)
I've searched the entire archives and google for a solution to this. There are plenty of references to the "Unable to fork" error.. most having to do with a bug in PHP 4.02. I writing the script for a remote Windows server running PHP 4.21 so the bug shouldn't be a problem.. I can only assume I am not doing it correctly. The script simply needs to convert a file using ImageMagick stored in c:\Program Files\ImageMagick... I've tried.. $cmd = "c:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick\\convert -quality 80 -antialias -sample '".$x."x".$y."' '$obj' '$dest'"; system($cmd); And on a tip that I found in the list archives I tried.. $cmd = "convert /c dir c:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick -quality 80 -antialias -sample '".$x."x".$y."' '$obj' '$dest'"; system($cmd); Both return Unable to Fork errors.. Warning: Unable to fork [convert /c dir c:\Program Files\ImageMagick -quality 80 -antialias -sample '320x240' 'C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php43.tmp' 'e:/NLObjects/thumb.jpg'] in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\exchange_tmp\uploadtest.php on line 72 I have used ImageMagick successfully on a UNIX server. But I didn't have to specify the location of the convert tool. This is Windows server and I really don't have a clue if I am doing this correctly.

Re: [PHP] Re: SESSION newbie question ***STILL UNRESOLVED***
You must understand that although it's all the same script each frame is its
own HTML page and Session vars will not be called into a frame unless you
specify it. So..
if ($QUERY_STRING == "2.html")
{
session_start(); // call session vars into this frame.
// .. blah blah blah..
}
Also set your variables before you register them into the session. If you
don't have register globals on it won't work the other way around. Hope
this helps. Very clever by the way I never thought of doing it this way.
I'd always called the PHP into the SRC tag. :-)
Good luck

It's good programming ediquite but not required. All fclose does is destroy

Unless you have your php.ini file configured differently, simply adding
session_start(); at the top of each page will make the session available
without having to pass the SID through the URL string. Not that there is

Re: [PHP] mySQL time = year 2038 [HELP]
Perhaps the problem is in your translation. NOW() records a timestamp that is formated by MMDDHHMMSS. If you are translating this in PHP a function designed to take in a UNIX timestamp (that is "Unix Epoch" time , the number of seconds from some date 30 years ago) you will recieve a rather confusing result.

Re: [PHP] session_is_registered = secure?
I don't know of any exploit that can start a session remotely. Only thing I
can recommend is that you modify the default session id to prevent local
hackers from hijacking your sessions (assuming you're on an ISP and not
running your own server). Also you should consider testing those variables
more strictly. If you're expecting a specific value or range of values then
you should test for that instead. For example if $login is true or false
then you should test it directly with if($login=true) since any value other
than 0 will automatically evaluate to true.

Subject: [PHP] session_is_registered = secure?
Hi there,
i created a session based login and in order to enter the selected part of
the script, i check for the passed variable and if the session is
registered, which only happens, if the user password is right.
So, currently i am checking for:
else if (($login)&&(session_is_registered('login_user')))
{
...SCRIPT_PART...
}
However, can this be exploited?
I mean, would it be possible for a user to forge the
"session_is_registered('login_user')" and so gain access to that part of the
script?
Would you recommend adding a sepparate "check for right user&pass" within
the SCRIPT_PART again?

Re: [PHP] getting anchor tags
PHP.net has some good examples if you search under the regex functions. Or
you might use something like the function below. I wrote this in a search
engine spider. It will return a list of local html links found on the given
page. The way I used this in my spider was to build a master list of local
links and test that against a separate array of visited links. Combine with
a little Javascript you can index an entire website with visual feedback.
function extract_links($url)
{
$fp = fopen($url, "r");
if ($fp !== false)
{
fclose($fp);
$contents = implode("", file($url));
preg_match_all("|href=\"?([^\"' >]+)|i", $contents, $arrayoflinks);
foreach ($arrayoflinks[1] as $link)
{
// Trim out any links with http://
if (!ereg('http://', $link))
{
// Make sure the links are html files.
if (ereg ('.htm', $link))
{
// Build array of local links on this page.
$links[] = $link;
}
}
}
$links = array_unique($links);
$links = array_values($links);
return $links;
}
else

return false;

Fw: [PHP] Architecture problem? Google want index files exept the main page.
It took me a few minutes to figure out where the /profiles link was on your hompage. You understand that the only way a spider can read the content on your webpage is to fopen() and parse the contents. Google's software cannot "explore" your dynamic content like a human can. If the random profiles link does not point to A00201.html when the page is parsed for the spider's visit then the spider will never know about that page and it won't get indexed. If you want these pages to be indexed then build a new page on your website called "profiles" and have it print links to all profile pages on the same page. Link the to the profiles page from the home page. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Andy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 2:41 PM Subject: [PHP] Architecture problem?

Re: [PHP] Code Improvement
Though your code isn't the cleanest I've seen I don't think there is
anything inherently wrong with your proceedure. You're just displaying a
LOT of information. And more importantly you're displaying this in a
browser with HTML tables. I'd put a timer on your code to see how much time
the actual query took. Then subtract that from the time it took to render
the information in the browser window and you can get a pretty good feel for
where your bottle neck is. I susspect the query will be a small percentage
of the total time involved.
Look into the microtime() to setup the timer. Good luck.

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] sessions help
Your problem is here..
> return ($_SESSION['node'] = $node_id);
I do not believe that you can both set and return a varaible on the same
line. FYI, the variable which you're returning in this function is global..
so there's no reason to return it anyway. Just fill the index and you're
all set.

Re: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help.
Shane, absolutely you can mix HTML and dynamically generated images. You'll actually call the image in passively via an tag like this... getimage.php will echo the appropriate image header (Content-type: image/png or whatever) plus your image grabbing/generating code which you will simply output to the browser. Deceptively easy, yes? :) Hope this helps. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Shane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 2:21 PM Subject: [PHP] GD Questions: Please help. > Greetings fellow PHPers. > > I am learning basic GD functionality and I have a few YES/NO questions to ask. > This should only take a few seconds of your time.

Re: [PHP] Chaching issues
Yes it is possible. A good suggestion is to tell the browser not to cache
PHP output by sending the following headers..
header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
header('Expires: 0');
You can also set these headers via META tags in your HTML. You'll have to
do a search for those however. Of course there's no guarentee this will
work with all browsers but for the most part they do their job.

Re: [PHP] Emptying a Single Array Value
Note: using unset alone you will end up with an array containing
non-contiuguous indicies. For the most part this is not a problem but in
some cases can cause trouble. I'd suggest passing through the
array_values() function to reindex the array after you have unset all of the
unwanted elements.
To count the number of elements in an array using the count() function..
$size = count($array);

Re: [PHP] Emptying a Single Array Value
$nums = array ('one', 'two', 'three');
$nums = remove_array_element($nums, 1);
function remove_array_element($array, $index)
{
unset($array[$i]); // Unset selected index
return array_values($array); // Return reindexed array
}
P.S. The empty() function returns true or false depending upon whether or
not the variable you pass to contains information, it doesn't affect the
variable.

Fw: [PHP] Array into database
Not directly no. You can serialize the array and store it in a single text field. Or, if this array contrains data that you'll be retrieving often then you can construct a table and store each array element in a new row. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Leon Mergen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 3:25 PM Subject: [PHP] Array into database > Hello, > > I would like to know wether it's possible to put an array into a database? > If not, what is the best way to archieve something like that? > > Thanks in advance, > > Leon Mergen > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Fw: [PHP] [PLEASE HELP] Passing variable to new page.
Question.. why are you opening up a full sized new window with the
javascript popup script? I susspect the problem has something to do with
the javascript, although I'm not going to take the time to test it myself.
You can open a new page in an HTML link by setting target=new. You
shouldn't have any problems.

Re: [PHP] Include and memory
No offense but what you just said made absolutely no sense. There is no way to perform an operation on a computer without allocating memory for that operation. Unlike other lower level prgramming languages (ie. C/C++) PHP automatically allocates the necessary amount of memory for whatever operation it is you're doing. It is completely out of your control. So I don't see that there's anything for you to worry about in this regard. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Paulo Cesar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 10:49 AM Subject: [PHP] Include and memory Hi people...

Re: [PHP] Running a script to check something before submitting a form. Can this be done?
I wouldn't use header() in this case, unless you plan to create an ungodly
looking URL to pass with it.. All you really need to do is point the form
to a PHP script that validates the information. Then at the end of that
script either include() the form hander if it's valid, or print an error
message if it's not valid. It would be this simple..
test.html
---
--
validate.php
--
0)
include ("formhander.php");
else
echo "Email already exists.";
?>
A more appropriate place to use header() would be in the "else" statement to
return to the original .html page. You could even brand the .html page with
the error message by placing a unique comment such as within the
html, then do something like...
fopen($HTTP_REFERER, "r");
$file = fread($fp, 1);
$file = str_replace("", $error, $file);
echo $file;
And that's about as sophisticated as you would ever need to get in this
case.

Fw: [PHP] javascript
Instead of all those echo statments use the concatonation operator (.) to
combine variables and quoted strings. It'll make your code much easier to
read. After I cleaned up your code it worked perfectly. Looks like you may
be missing a semi-colin there on line #1 of your javascript code. Other
than that I can find nothing wrong.
$height = 400;
$width = 400;
echo '';
echo 'WinName="test";'; //<-- there was a missing semi colin here giving me
a javascript error.
echo 'GoURL="test.html";';
echo "var hdth=$height;";
echo "var wdth=$width;";
echo 'pParams="width="+wdth+",height="+
hdth+",top="+((screen.availHeight/2)-(hdth/2))+",left="+((screen.availWidth/
2)-(wdth/2));';
echo 'newWindow = window.open(GoURL,WinName,pParams);';
echo '';

[PHP] eregi() against a binary file?
I'm trying to match file names associated with a 3DS file (a 3DS file is a common 3D file format). The file is binary by nature but as you can clearly see in the dump below the filenames themselves are stored as plain text. So I should be able to do a simple eregi() on the file and discover if the filename exists within that file or not, right? Here's a snipplet of the file dump to the screen. You can quite plainly see that "PYRSTN01.JPG" exists as text in this string. Now if I copy a portion of this string and paste it into my code of course it works and echos 'found it'. But if I perform the eregi() function on the raw string read directly from the file it prints 'could not find it'... why? Isn't it the same exact thing? --- .0¡„ 0 Š ‡ €?¢30d£PYRSTN01.JPGQ£S£ €?@vBox01AjAhƒ:oƒ:oƒ. --- To be honest I don't know or even care about the difference between ASCII and BINARY. In this case all I want to do is locate the plain text, "PYRSTN01.JPG" within the 3DS file string. But clearly I'm missing some vital bit of information or there's something I don't understand about binay strings being interpreted as ASCII? Anyone know how I can make this work?

Re: [PHP] Intermediate "Searching..." screen.
Search screens are a tricky prospect and none seem to work very well. However you could try one of the following techniques... Instead of the submit button initiating a search it initiates another script that displays the 'searching...' message and only after it has outputted that to the screen does it initiate the search. The last line in that script would be a redirect back to your results page. Another way to do it would be to set up a couple of Javascript functions. Echo one to open the 'searching...' screen prior to initiating the search. Then at the end of the script echo the other javascript function to close the 'searching.. ' screen. But I've implimted a version of this for an upload script and it didn't work so hot. Er.. umm.. anyone got any other bright ideas? -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Jeff Bearer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Php-General (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 12:23 PM Subject: [PHP] Intermediate "Searching..." screen. > I have a part of my site that searches a large database and sometimes it > takes more than a few seconds to return the results.

Re: [PHP] Include (Newbie question)
No, not exactly. The idea behind the include() function in PHP is to append and execute code to the currently running script. This is great for organizing your code into more easier to manage chunks. PHP will attempt to parse and execute the included file as a PHP file regardless of the file extension. So you can do this for example... -- myhtml.html -- Hello -- -- myphp.php -- $var = "World"; - This will print out "Hello World". So that answers two questions with one stone (err.. yah). include() is a function not a method. And you don't need the tag to display included html. The browser will automatically assume an html header upon any textual output unless otherwise specified. Check out the manual for more information. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Hope this helps -Kevin - Original Message - From: "r" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2002 5:11 AM Subject: [PHP] Include (Newbie question) > Hey, > I have just being going through the manual (windows version) and am a bit > confused about "include", > If I want the scope to affect the whole page I do this right: > > (example page) > > > include blah.php > ?> > some html > use some functions to call blah.php > ?> > is this correct? > > and my second question is if I am including a html file will that file need > to have a etc etc > or you must have the etc only in one file? > > Since am confused about this and it comes straight from the RTFM() > function.any help appreciated. :-) > > Cheers, > -Ryan. > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Extract ZIP archives
Hello Nurse! (and php gurus).. I'm building an online file exchange that will allow users to share custom 3D files for a game that I'm involved in. I'd like to offer my users the oportunity to upload multiple files at once by allowing them to ZIP them all together and upload just the one file. Then I'd expand the ZIP archive, extract the files, and store them individually on the server based on certain properties (which I already look for to validate the files being uploaded individually). I did my homework, found plenty of references and example code, a few classes. Still a bit stumped though. The PHP docs refer to ZZIPLIB as the solution. Unfortunately webhost does not have ZZIPLIB installed. And of course I don't have access to the PHP config files... just my standard web account. Is ZZIPLIB something that I can use by including it into my script? Or does it need to be compiled into PHP? If so then is there another way that I can expand, extract and create ZIP files on the server? I found one ZIP class on ZEND.com. http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=696&single=1 It looks like it should work but since it won't expand ZIP archives it's only half useful to me. Finally a friend of mine briefly eluded to the 'zip' and 'unzip' operations of UNIX. Problem is I don't know anything about Unix commands and searching for guides/tutorials revealed plenty of generic, but little useful information. Is this a possibility? If so what would the unix command be to expand and create ZIP archives? How would I tie that into my PHP script using the system() function? Well.. hopefully you get the gist of what I'm trying to do. Other than my basic knowlege in PHP I'm starting from scratch here, so just about anything you can tell me will be useful. Much Thanks, Kevin Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] listing the files in the directory
Michael, I wrote this function for a project that I'm working on. It
returns an indexed array of local links found on a given page. It returns
false if the url is not a valid file. If you want it to return all links
regardless of prefix or file extension then just return $arrayoflinks[1]
instead of doing the extra ereg() steps. It's a very simple function, but
it may help get you started.
-Kevin
function extract_links($url)
{
$fp = fopen($url, "r"); // fopen to check for valid file
if ($fp !== false)
{
fclose($fp);
$contents = implode("", file($url));
// Much thanks to whomever wrote this regex!
preg_match_all("|href=\"?([^\"' >]+)|i", $contents, $arrayoflinks);
foreach ($arrayoflinks[1] as $link)
{
// Ignore links that may not be local.
if (!ereg('http://', $link))
{
// Make sure the link is some form of html file.
if (ereg('.htm', $link))
{
// Build array of local links on this page.
$links[] = $link;
}
}
}
return $links;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Re: [PHP] matching two form fields function?
Tis a tad easier than that.
function match_str($str1, $str2)
{
if ($str1 == $str2)
return true;
else
return false;
}
// If the fields don't match exit with error.
if (!match_str($field1, $field2))
{
echo "The fields must match.";
exit;
}

Re: [PHP] MySQL INSERT concatonating one of my values for seemingly no reason...
Nevermind. Three hours after embarking on my voyage to insanity I finally
figured it out. If I type cast the variables as strings the error
dissapears. I've never had this problem before though.. so its still a bit
of a mystery since the data stored in the variables are most certainly
strings and a direct comparison to an identical string (without type
casting) returns true.
$keyword = (string)$index[$i]['word'];
$pagelist = (string)$index[$i]['pages'];

Subject: [PHP] MySQL INSERT concatonating one of my values for seemingly no
reason...
I have an array containing data from a search engine index. The array
contains only two values.. "word" and "pages" which will be stored in a
MySQL table.
$index[$i]['word'] //contains the keyword.
$index[$i]['pages'] // contains a comma delimited list of pages the keyword
exists on.
If you print out the values stored in the first index in the array this is
what you get...
echo $index[0]['word']; // prints "test"
echo $index[0]['pages']; // prints "test.html,test2.html"
However when inserting the values into the database results in a
concatonation of the 'pages' value at the first comma...
$query = "INSERT INTO `legends_search` (`keyword`, `pages`) VALUES
('".$index[0]['word']."', '".$index[0]['pages']."')";
mysql_query($query, $db);
// Let's just see what it's imputing..
echo $query; // prints "INSERT INTO `legends_search` (`keyword`, `pages`)
VALUES ('test', 'test.html,test2.html')"
results:
---
keyword pages
test test.html
--
Why is the pages value being concatonated!? I thought perhaps I was
inserting an invalid character so I did a test by setting a two variables to
the desired values then inserting them into the database.
$word= 'test';
$pages = 'test.html,test2.html';
$query = "INSERT INTO `legends_search` (`keyword`, `pages`) VALUES ('$word',
'$pages')";
mysql_query($query, $db);
// Let's just see what it's imputing..
echo $query; // prints "INSERT INTO `legends_search` (`keyword`, `pages`)
VALUES ('test', 'test.html,test2.html')"
results:
---
keyword pages
test test.html,test2.html
--
This worked exactly as I expected. The pages collumn was populated with the
full value and didn't get concatonated. So why was it being concatonated
when the same value was being read from the array? Perhaps there was
something wrong with the value in the array. So on that premis I checked
the array value against a the static variable that I defined in the second
test...
$pages = 'test.html,test2.html';
if ($pages == $index[0]['pages'])
echo "TRUE";
else
echo "FALSE";
And it echos TRUE every time. So it has to be an identical string. Yet
when I insert from the array values 'pages' gets concatonated at the first
comma. As far as I can tell both methods are inserting the same exact
values (just look at the $query echo statements above for more proof). I
can not understand why the 'pages' value is being concatonated when inserted
from the array. Any help? Or are you just as baffled as me.
Much thanks,
Kevin Stone
