Hi,

$crap is the stuff you don't want.
$clean is the stuff you want.
So, chr(0x82) would become lsquor.

[PHP] Turn on E_ALL Error Reporting
Hello,
I changed the title of this email so it doesn't thread hijack...
I use a simple function like this to turn on and show warnings and
errors. It's my understanding though, if the error is catastrophic, it
will not be displayed on the screen no matter what you do. Not sure
about that though...
I did not create this function, nor am I taking credit for it. I'm
sharing it. I think it came from one of my many PHP books, possibly the
PHP Cookbook...
?php
function pc_error_handler($errno, $error, $file, $line, $context)
{
$message = [ERROR][$errno][$error][$file:$line];
print p$messagebr;
?
pa href=mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?php print
$message; ?email this error/a
?php
print /p;
}
error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_error_handler('pc_error_handler');
?
This will show the warning/error on the screen and provide a link for
the viewer to use to report said error. You must replace
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with your email address.
HTH,
Roger

[PHP] load a URL and trap output

The only way to do this is by making a request to a specific URL. This URL (which includes the log in cookie id) will return XML to my application. Once I parse this XML, I will know if visitors are logged in. Simple enough. How do I make my application load a URL and trap the returned data so that it never creates any browser output? My first reaction was header(Location: URL) but then I'd be handing off control to the URL and the output would appear in the browser. I've done some research and found system(), exec(), and passthru().

Hello All,
It seems fopen() did not work. However, it did stop the FORBIDDEN
message I was receiving. So I think I'm on the right track. Here's
what I tried...
$filename = actual URL;
$fd = fopen($filename, r);
$contents = fread($fd, $filename);
fclose($fd);
print strlen($contents);
print p.$contents;
I can open the URL, that works ( fopen() ).
I've tested out the fread(), file(), fgets(), and file_get_contents
functions. Nothing works.
I can close the URL, that works ( fclose() ).
With each attempt, I get 0 for the strlen of $contents and nothing else
prints out.
I also tried adding this to the script right before fopen:
ini_set('allow_url_fopen','1');
That didn't work either...
Any idea(s) on what I'm doing wrong? I'm using php 4.3.3 and I believe
it's Apache 1.3
Thanks,
Roger

At the top of the page, in HTML, I've also added (along with the above headers): META HTTP-EQUIV=Cache-Control CONTENT=no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate META HTTP-EQUIV=Pragma CONTENT=no-cache META HTTP-EQUIV=Expires CONTENT=0 and still, the browser pulls from the cache.

[PHP] SOLVED = is ' or different in MS-Word then ascII?
Here is a real code solution instead of my original posted client
solution
My original problem involved text submitted via the good old fashion
textarea in a web form. If a visitor created their text in MS-Word
and then cut and paste their text over to the web form and submitted,
any place within their text that they used ' or would be turned into
little white boxes.
After spending a day researching this problem, I realized I could just
inform the visitors to turn off Smart Quotes in their word processor
application.
Overcome with frustration and exhaustion, I posted this to the list as
SOLVED and provided my client solution. As many of you pointed out
(thank you), it's not a valid solution for a large user base. And as
some pointed out (thank you), it's not a solution by any means...
Tom Rogers explained the problem and provided a code solution:
The problem is that Microsoft uses a non standard Latin-1 code for their
smart quotes and a lot of programs don't know what to do with them as
a few are actually control codes in other languages.
?php
function clean_ms_word($text){
$crap = array(
chr(0x82),chr(0x83),chr(0x84),chr(0x85),chr(0x86),chr(0x87),chr(0x88),chr(0x89),
chr(0x8a),chr(0x8b),chr(0x8c),chr(0x91),chr(0x92),chr(0x93),chr(0x94),chr(0x95),
chr(0x96),chr(0x97),chr(0x98),chr(0x99),chr(0x9a),chr(0x9b),chr(0x9c),chr(0x9f)
);
$clean = array(
'lsquor;','fnof;','ldquor;','ldots;','dagger;','Dagger;','','permil;',
'Scaron;','lsaquo;','OElig;','lsquo;','rsquo;','ldquo;','rdquo;','bull;',
'ndash;','mdash;','tilde;','trade;','scaron;','rsaquo;','oelig;','Yuml;'
);
$content = str_replace($crap,$clean,$text);
return $content;
}
$string = chr(0x93).'Test'.chr(0x94);
echo clean_ms_word($string).'br';
Thanks Tom! Works like a charm!! Also, thanks to everyone who offered

[PHP] is ' or different in MS-Word then ascII?
Hello, This question may border on OT... I have a web form where visitors must enter large amounts of text at one time (text area). Once submitted, the large amount of text is stored as a CLOB in an Oracle database. Some of my visitors create their text in Ms-Word and then cut and paste it into the text area and then submit the form. When I retrieve it from the database, I do a stripslahses, htmlentities and nl2br in that order to preserve the format of the submitted test. When I view this text, single or double quotes show up as little white square blocks. I've tested this out with MS-Word on a windows machine and a mac machine. Same thing happens with either OS. This only happens when they cut and paste from MS-Word into the text area. If they type text into the text area directly, everything is fine... I know I can search through their submitted text and swap out the unrecognized character and insert the proper one. I just don't know what to look for as being the unrecognized character. I've googled all over looking at ascII charts and keyboard maps. Nothing mentions MS-Word specific information though. Anyone out there dealt with this before?

Hello Everybody, I have found a solution and/or the root of the problem. I googled on the topic of MS-Word + smart quotes. That lead me to this site: http://www.rpgtimes.net/rpgtimes/guide.php?guide=1 It seems that the default for Word is to have smart quotes to on. When you have smart quotes on it replaces the ordinary straight quotes with a left specific and right specific quote. To correct this: Go into TOOLSAUTO-CORRECTAUTO-FORMATremove checkmark from replace straight quotes with smart quotes. Also in TOOLSAUTO-CORRECT you must remove the line in AUTO-REPLACE about replacing ... with three dots that are closer together. Once I did that, my problem was solved Thanks to all who have helped today. I appreaciate it!! BEFORE I changed these two Word settings, when writing to the database, the ord() (ordinate) value for the left quote was 147 and the right quote was 148. When being retrieved from the database, the ord() (ordinate) value for the left quote was 17 and the right quote was 19. Thanks again to everyone who offered help!

[PHP] preserving blank space padding when using fgetcsv
Hello,
I've been researching this for most of the day and am unable to find an
answer.
I'm using fgetcsv to read a comma delimited file (Microsoft Excel CSV).
I'm trying to create a PHP application which will read a csv file line
by line, remove the commas and preserve the padding that is in each
column. That means if a column is a fixed length of 15 characters and
the actual text in that column is only 5 characters long, the
application will preserve the extra 10 blank spaces.
I'm able to open and read the csv using fgetcsv:
$handle = fopen ($filename, r);
while ($mpt_line = fgetcsv ($handle, filesize ($filename), ,))
{
Then I check each member of that array to make sure it is the proper
length for that column:
if (strlen($mpt_line[0])4)
{
str_pad($mpt_line[0], 4, , STR_PAD_RIGHT);
}
When all of the length checks are finished I remove the commas and then
print out the finished product:
}
$no_commas = str_replace(,, , $mpt_line);
print aa/.$no_commas[0]./aa;
For output all I get is the actual text and no blank space padding.
Meaning that if the field contains two characters of data it should
still appear 4 characters in length. I was hoping to achieve aa/hi /aa
instead all I get is aa/hi/aa.
Thanks,
Roger

Sorry if this is a double post or if it's already been talked about. I just found out a few moments ago that http://www.dotgeek.org/ is having a php programming contest/marathon in November.

[PHP] Printer Functions
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had any level of success with printer functions. I'm trying to get the following code to work: ?php $handle = printer_open(); printer_start_doc($handle, Hello World); printer_start_page($handle); printer_end_page($handle); printer_end_doc($handle); printer_close($handle); ? I get the following error: printer_open() is an undefined function. I'm guessing that the printer functions were never installed with my version of PHP?.?.?.? I'm currently running PHP Version 4.3.3 Thanks, Roger -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Logged Out of Seesion, Then use back button
Hello,
I've googled to try to find an answer to this. I've also checked the
php.net site. Perhaps I'm not using the correct search parameters. The
only suggestion I've found is the following code:
?php
header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
?
But this doesn't seem to solve my problems.
My problem/question is as follows.
I have an email script that works in the following steps:
1) Login (if success then FROM and a personal email signature are
properly populated)
2) Choose specifics for the email (this populates the TO variable and
the other BODY variables)
3) Then click on preview (this creates the email with all the current
variables, on the screen for viewing)
4) Then send the email
5) Prompted to create another or logout (if create another, then some
session variables are unset) (if logout then session is destroyed)
Everything works as intended.
One user, however, has created a glitch. He/she logged out and later
returned to their still opened browser and used the back button to
return to step 2 in the process. Every email they created after using
the back button has the following problems:
1) The reply to address and the from address are both default server
address's and not the users personal email address.
2) Their is no personal signature.
Here's my questions
1) How can I prevent the use of the browser back button after someone
logs out?
2) If, after a user has attained step 3, they use their back button to
change a variables value in step 2, the new value is never saved by the
session and their original entry is used in the email. How can I adjust
for people using their back buttons during the individual steps of the
script?
3) Should the header calls appear before the session_start or after?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Re: [PHP] Logged Out of Seesion, Then use back button
Sorry Didier, your suggestion did not solve the problem. I appreciate
the information though!
I'm still having the back button problem in the middle of using the
script.
Thanks,
Roger

1. When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
2. When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's
probably obsolete.
3. The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you
least expect to find it.
4. When the going gets tough, upgrade.
5. For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
6. To err is human... to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human,
it is downright natural.
7. He who laughs last probably made a back-up.
8. If at first you do not succeed, blame your computer.
9. A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a
simpler system that worked just fine.
10. The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
11. A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you
want to do.

[PHP] 'while' not picking up on first DB record
Hello,
Can anyone from the lists please tell me why this bit of code is not
picking up on the first record in the database? If the 'id' I'm looking
for is '1' it doesn't populate the _SESSION variables. Any 'id' greater
then '1' will populate the _SESSION variables.
$q = SELECT * FROM employee;
$r = mysql_query($q);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($r))
{
if ($employee == $row[id])
{
$_SESSION['dear'] = $row[last_name];
$_SESSION['to_email'] = $row[email];
}
}
Thanks,
Roger
