[PHP] IP Address Filtering
Ave, I¹ve run into a slight problem. We maintain a Guestbook for our company¹s website. Lately we have been getting a lot of ³Spam² entries into the Guestbook. I added a snippet into the PHP Script a field in the mySQL database to record the IP Address of posters. However, for the SPAM posts, it records ³Null² instead of an IP Address. I¹m using $REMOTE_ADDR to records the IP. It records IP Addresses of any genuine poster... But NULL for the spam poster. What else can I do to block the SPAM entry? Is there some other Unique Identifier that I can record of the Spam poster and then block him? Thanks, Rahul S.

Re: [PHP] IP Address Filtering
Ave, I have to say I absolutely love your idea! It¹s probably a solution for my problem, at the same time, like the other guy said, freaking hilarious!!! :0) I think I¹ll probably write up a script that displays everything except records with NULL as IP for regular audience... And displays all records with NULL as IP for audience who¹s IP is recorded as NULL. Thanks! Rahul S.

Re: [PHP] IP Address Filtering
Ave, Curt, thanks for your response. Is this a common guestbook, like a 3rd party tool you got and added to the web site? If so, do they already have a solution in place with an add-on or such. No, actually it's a script I have written myself from scratch. And unfortunately (or fortunately perhaps), I haven't ever run into this problem before. You really want to use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; That is should, I agree! A common method (now adays) is have the form that is being posted provide a challange/response method (like CAPTCHA) to verify that someone is actually sitting there filling out the form instead of a script doing the work. One of the problems with this method is well it limits your visually impared audience from being able to add to the guestbook, since it requires a visual response to the challenge. Another method is to require javascript for a challenge response method, this of course limits your audience to those who have javascript enabled, and I'm not sure if it really 'visually impared' friendly. I have implemented both those methods in different scripts I have written and maintain across different websites. Visual Confirmation using Image Verification and JavaScript Confirmation. However, I honestly don't want to add such an 'extra' step in my Guestbook for users who simply wish to put in a nice comment about the site, at least not at this point, which is why I do want to stay away from these methods for the Guestbook for now. Let me try a few other suggestions first and see how it goes, and then I'll decide if I need to add more capabilities/security to the Guestbook. Thanks for your insight, always brain-enhancing.

[PHP] IP Address Filtering - Problem Continues
Ave, Unfortunately my problem persists. The reason my script was recording NULL as IP address was because I was using $REMOTE_ADDR. When I started using the correct syntax, i.e., $SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], it actually did start recording the IP Address of the spammer. The problem is, the spammer is using multiple IP Address. His IP Address changes every 6 - 8 entries. I have so far recorded 5 different IP Addresses of the spammer. Although I can create a Database and keep adding his IP Address to the database, and run a check from the Guestbook script to scan against Blocked Addresses, It¹s not the most efficient method in the world. What other logic can I apply to automatically block the spammer? Or at least have a more efficient method of blocking the Spammer and his IP¹s? Thanks. On 3/30/06 8:41 AM, Rahul S.

[PHP] Upload Progress Bar (PHP/AJAX?)
Ave, I wrote a File Manager application for my company which allows the management our clients to upload files share files. The application has been running fine since a while now, but lately I thought about adding a Progress Bar for the file upload form. I searched a bit to find that PHP is not capable of producing an Upload Progress Bar, and I was looking into the AJAX PHP progress bar which seems to be pretty popular. I run my Apache Web Server on a Mac OS X. Although I downloaded configured AJAX, and also upload progress meter extension... Nothing worked... And I found out that PHP has to be patched, recompiled, reconfigured reinstalled on a unix level (configure, make), which I really don¹t want to do at this stage as I¹m not an expert in that. I was just wondering if there is an alternate... Any other way to produce a progress bar. If someone is experienced with the AJAX/PHP Upload progress bar, and would like to contribute suggestions, I¹m open to that as well. Thanks, Rahul S.

[PHP] Paged Results Set in MySQL DB with one result
Greetings Gents, I have an interesting problem I would like some ideas on for a solution. I cannot seem to find any code examples on the net, though I might not be looking in the right place really. I have some articles stored in a MySQL DB. What I want is if the article is above a certain length in characters, to page article through a few pages for site readability. So I would want to print X number of words/characters. Save the where the pointer is, move on to the next page, and display the same amount and so on for as many pages as needed. I know about pulling paged results using the limit function but that would not seem to apply as really I would want to page the results within one record (one field really). Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks Phillip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

For instance, if the file is huge, and takes ages to upload, and is then rejected by the server, the user will be somewhat annoyed! I'm not even sure this is a php question! Nope not a PHP question. However you can set the max file size within the form tag of HTML. I forget the proper snytax and tag off the top of my head. I am not sure the error it spits out as I have never tested that. you can also use javascript or the like to check the file size.

[PHP] Handling Large Check Box Data
Ave, I¹m a little confused as to what¹s the best way to handle this. I have a form which, apart from lots of other fields, has a set of 25 30 Check Boxes, each of which asks the user for some kind of information which the user can check or leave unchecked. The information each Check Box collects will also appear in the ³Listing² for users to view once the user has completed submitted the form. Furthermore, there is an Advanced Search also available to users which will also provide the same 25 - 30 check boxes which define the search criteria. I¹m not sure what¹s the best, most efficient way to do this. The tedious way to do this is to make 30 fields in the mySQL database, and if the check box is checked, the data goes into the corresponding field... And similarly listing the data from the field if field is non-empty And similarly including each field in the Search options. I want suggestions for a better/faster way to do this. I did think about creating a single field and storing the data from each checked¹ check box as comma separated values in the single field. I¹m not sure how to do that and if that¹s the best way But even if I can, I¹m not sure how to get the data to display separately out of that field in the Listings view and more importantly how to include that data in the Search options. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rahul S.

[PHP] Looping through a Db query result twice in PEAR
Greetings All,
I have a problem that I usually solve in MySQL pretty easily, but using
PEAR identifiers are not working.
Any suggestions.
I want to loop through a result set in two different while loops that
are not nested.
I am able to do in it MySQl as follows
$sql=Some query;
$result = $conn-query($sql);
while ($row = $result-fetchArray()) {
echo $row['hey'];
}
while ($row2 = $result-fetchArray()) {
echo $row2['otherhey'];
}
This has worked in the past and I do not have to hit up the DB twice for
the same information.
However when I try something similar with PEAR it does not work.
So the below does not work. This is my first time using PEAR.
So can anyone help me out.
I cannot seem to find anything about this on the documentation online.
$sql=Some query;
$result = $db-query($sql);
while($result-fetchInto($data)) {
echo \t\t\tlia
href=\#$data[id]\$data[question]/a/li\n;
}
while($result-fetchInto($data2)) {
echo a name=\#$data2[id]\$data2[answer]/a/li\n;
}
Thanks

[PHP] Checkbox Hidden Field to Delete Row
Ave,
I¹m stuck on a problem here.
I have a file manager kind of application and I¹m trying to add the
functionality to delete multiple files.
Basically, there¹s a bunch of rows generated dynamically. Each row has a
checkbox for ³Delete² option, and a hidden field which contains the name of
the File associated with the record. If a user checks a checkbox to delete
certain rows, it should be able to delete those rows from mySQL as well as
delete the files associated with that record.
I created both the checkboxes the hidden fields to be Arrays. I run a loop
to delete all rows (based on ID¹s) where the checkbox was Checked. It does
that part fine... The problem is linking the Filename array to the Checkbox
Array. It deletes the first two files uploaded no matter what rows are
checked. Basically, the Filename array is not associating with the Checkbox
array. So if a person checks the 3rd and 5th checkbox... The 3rd 5th row
is deleted from mySQL, but the 1st and 2nd file is deleted, not the 3rd
5th.
Following is my code to generate the checkboxes hidden fields...
td width=15span class=\style11\ input
type=checkbox name=thisID[] value=$myrow[ID]input type=hidden
name=\PF[]\ value=\imsafm/$showfilesuser/$myrow[filename]\input
type=hidden name=login value=$loginINPUT TYPE=hidden name=showfilesuser
value=$showfilesuser/td
Following is the code to delete the checked rows/files...
for($I=0;$Isizeof($thisID);$I++) {
$sql = DELETE FROM file WHERE ID='$thisID[$i]';
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(Fatal Error: .mysql_error());
$thefile = $PF[$i];
unlink($thefile);
}
I have no clue what to do... It¹s just not working out.

Re: [PHP] Checkbox Hidden Field to Delete Row - SOLVED
Ave,
I spent 3 hours trying to find or develop a solution for this problem... And
believe it or not, within 3 minutes of sending the problem to the mailing
list, I actually generated a solution!! Ray, you’re spot on with what’s
actually happening, but this is what I did to resolve it...
Here’s my code to generate the Dynamic Row with Checkboxes:
td width=15span class=\style11\ input type=checkbox name=thisID[]
value=\$myrow[ID]#imsafm/$showfilesuser/$myrow[filename]\input
type=hidden name=login value=$loginINPUT TYPE=hidden name=showfilesuser
value=$showfilesuser/td
I completely eliminated the Hidden field... Instead, added the value of both
the Row ID the Filename to the checkbox, with a seperator “#”.
Here’s my code to delete the Row Corresponding File:
foreach($thisID AS $value) {
$pieces = explode(#, $value);
$sql = DELETE FROM file WHERE ID='$pieces[0]';
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(Fatal Error: .mysql_error());
$thefile = $pieces[1];
unlink($thefile);
}
As you can see, I basically explode the Array on the “#” seperator, and
delete the Row File. Is working like a charm!!

The problem is coming from how checkboxes submit their information to the
form. Only the checked checkboxes will actually send data. The unchecked
ones will not send anything. Hidden fields differ, in that they ALWAYS send
their data. This is probably causing a mis-match between the two arrays.
You could verify that by doing a var_dump on the arrays before you delete
anything.
I would suggest that since you keep a record of the file in the database,
include the file location in that database record. Then before you delete
it, get the file name, delete the file, then delete the record. I think that
would save you a bunch of headaches.

The batch file, in turn calls other batch files on a shared folder on a different PC On Windows, it would open up the dos window and run commands there and exit and the PHP script that called the pclose would terminate loading on the users' browsers. Now, with PHP 4.4.2, the pclose and popen send the tasks to the background and the dos window does not show up! As a result, killing the dos process is not possible (i get access denied in windows...) and the users cannot see the dos window when it runs. I would like the php script to send the commands to a dos window, and the php script to finish executing. I tried passthru, system, exec and proc_open... and none of them work. None of them bring up the dos window. Please help! Regards Venkat

The batch file, in turn calls other batch files on a shared folder on a different PC On Windows, it would open up the dos window and run commands there and exit and the PHP script that called the pclose would terminate loading on the users' browsers. Now, with PHP 4.4.2, the pclose and popen send the tasks to the background and the dos window does not show up! As a result, killing the dos process is not possible (i get access denied in windows...) and the users cannot see the dos window when it runs. I would like the php script to send the commands to a dos window, and the php script to finish executing. I tried passthru, system, exec and proc_open... and none of them work. None of them bring up the dos window. Please help! Regards Venkat
[PHP] Trouble figuring out a Walk through an Array
Greetings All, Having trouble figureing out a certain walk through an array. And I am not finding the help I need in the manual or anything. I have an associative arr ($arr) With about 20 elements in it. Ten of which are required. So I have another associative array called $required, with all the elements in the array that are required. I have initaited a foreach loop on the $arr splitting things into $key and $value. Now the part I am having trouble with is this. I want to see if $key matches any of the values in $required. If so do something in particular. If not then do something else. It does not particularly matter which value in the $required it matches, just so long as it matches. Thanks for any help.

[PHP] Fixing ID's in mySQL Table
Ave, Is there a way to fix ID sequence in a MySQL table using PHP? Basically I have some tables with a lot of records, 1000 to 5000.

Thus a lot of junk records were being let in, which had to be deleted at some point or another. Now the ID sequence is all screwed up. It¹s not in sequence anymore. Is there a way to fix this?

[PHP] OS Detection
Ave,
I'm working on a Guestbook for a site and I'm trying to identify Browser
Operating System of the user and eventually I'll display the Icon matching
the Browser/OS in the entry.
I'm able to identify and use an If Conditional statement for the Browser,
but I can't seem to identify the OS.
This is what I'm using to identify the Browser:
function browser_detection( $which_test ) {
// initialize the variables
$browser = '';
$dom_browser = '';
// set to lower case to avoid errors, check to see if http_user_agent is set
$navigator_user_agent = ( isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) ) ?
strtolower( $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ) : '';
// run through the main browser possibilities, assign them to the main
$browser variable
if (stristr($navigator_user_agent, opera))
{
$browser = 'opera';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, msie 4))
{
$browser = 'msie4';
$dom_browser = false;
}
elseif (stristr($navigator_user_agent, msie))
{
$browser = 'msie';
$dom_browser = true;
}
elseif ((stristr($navigator_user_agent, konqueror)) ||
(stristr($navigator_user_agent, safari)))

$dom_browser = false;
}
else
{
$dom_browser = false;
$browser = false;
}
// return the test result you want
if ( $which_test == 'browser' )
{
return $browser;
}
elseif ( $which_test == 'dom' )
{
return $dom_browser;
// note: $dom_browser is a boolean value, true/false, so you can just test
if
// it's true or not.
}

Re: [PHP] OS Detection
Ave,
Interesting.
I did get this JavaScript code for OS detection:
// This script sets OSName variable as follows:
// Windowsfor all versions of Windows
// MacOS for all versions of Macintosh OS
// Linux for all versions of Linux
// UNIX for all other UNIX flavors
// Unknown OS indicates failure to detect the OS
var OSName=Unknown OS;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(Win)!=-1) OSName=Windows;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(Mac)!=-1) OSName=MacOS;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(X11)!=-1) OSName=UNIX;
if (navigator.appVersion.indexOf(Linux)!=-1) OSName=Linux;
document.write('Your OS: '+OSName);
Which does serve my purpose. I guess I'll work something with this out.
Thanks.

home, however it¹s not working on my web server (purchased webhosting). When
I open this page on my web site, it does bring up the popup box asking for
Username Password the problem is, even if I type the correct user/pass,
it won¹t accept it. It keeps asking me for user/pass again and again and
finally brings up the ³Unauthorized² text on the page.
Why won¹t it allow the correct user/pass to login? I don¹t understand.
The only difference between the PHP on my localhost and the PHP on my

Hi Rahul,
Try doing a print_r($_SERVER) to see if the variables are being set.
If they aren't, take a look at the phpinfo(); - chances are your host is
using a CGI binary version of PHP to use together with a security wrapper
like suPHP or phpSuExec, which might throw away the variables that you

[PHP] 4 Digit ID with Leading Zeros
Ave, I want to assign a 4 Digit ID with leading zeros to each record added using a form I have created. The PHP scripts does two things: (a) It adds the data to a mySQL table (b) it generates a CSV file with the data The 4 Digit ID (beginning from 0001) will be used in two places: (a) It will be the ID for the record in the mySQL table, instead of the usual ID that we create in mySQL. It will be a Primary Key, Not Null, Auto_Increment (b) It will also be the filename for the CSV file. So basically it has to match the record adding in the mySQL table and the filename for the CSV.

Re: [PHP] 4 Digit ID with Leading Zeros
Ave, I think this will work for me. Here's what I'm gonna do... When the form is submitted: First, add the records to the mySQL table. An ID will be automatically generated. Then, call the ID from the mySQL table, using your code, add the leading Zeros to it, and generate the CSV file with that new ID as the filename. The only issue that I still have is... The file name will be 0001.csv, while in the mySQL table, the ID for that record who's csv file has been generated, will be 1. What I would have preferred to have is make both the ID in mySQL table and the filename have the leading zeros. But I'm not sure if that's possible. Thanks.

Re: [PHP] 4 Digit ID with Leading Zeros

If I recall correctly, MySQL auto-increment fields will not reuse id's when they are deleted. So, you will need to take that into consideration when (if) you reach the 9,999th record. JM Rahul S.

Re: [PHP] assignment operator works for comparison??
Hi,
Dan wrote:
if($shiny = 0){
This does not compare anyting, it assigns 0 to $shiny
yes i know, but shouldnt this operation return true?
No, it doesn't return true.
The "=" operator returns the value of the expression on its right hand side.
Therefore, the statement given above is equivalent to (as far as the if is
concerned):
if (0) {
because the "=" operator returns 0, the value on its right hand side.
That is why a statement like:
a = b = c = 2
sets all the above variables to 2. Otherwise, if it were to operate the way you
think it should, it would set "c" to 2 and "a" and "b" to "true" ;-).
Hope that clears up things for you.

Problem solved. Boy, that was easy.
The database was adding trailing spaces to the codes (so that MNE was
actually MNE and so on). $p_code=trim($p_code) did the trick.
I could still use that Bushmill's, though.

[PHP] Extending a Class
Greetings all,
I have a class I use for MySQL connection and functions.
I also have a class that I use to create Paged Results.
The paged results class connects to a DB and uses allot of sql calls to make
this happen. I am noticing that it does allot that the MySQL class does.
What I would like to do is to Have the paged results extend the MySQL class
so it can use the functions within that class so I can keep them updated in
just one place. How would I go about doing that?? Is it as simple as
something like this (this is shortened for convience)??
class Mysql {
var $results;
var $dbcnx;
function Mysql($query, $cnx) { // Constructor function
$this-dbcnx = $cnx;
if (!$this-results = @mysql_query($query))
$this-_error(There was an error with executing your query. Try again
later., $query);
}
}
class PageResultSet extends MySQL {
var $results;
function PageResultSet ($query,$pageSize,$resultpage,$cnx) {
$this-results = @mysql_query($query,$cnx) or $this-_error('Error Running
your search. Try back later.', $query);
$this-pageSize = $pageSize;
if ((int)$resultpage = 0) $resultpage = 1;
if ($resultpage $this-getNumPages())
$resultpage = $this-getNumPages();
$this-setPageNum($resultpage);
}
}
I would like to be able to pass the results from the MySQL class to the
PageResultSet class without have to do the query over and such.
How would I go about coding that? I am not clear on that.
Also can I extend a function in PageResultSet that is started in MySQL??
In MySQL I have
function fetchAssoc() {
if (!$this-results) return FALSE;
$this-row++;
return mysql_fetch_assoc($this-results);
}
In PageResultSet I have
function fetchAssoc() {
if (!$this-results) return FALSE;
if ($this-row = $this-pageSize) return FALSE;
$this-row++;
return mysql_fetch_assoc($this-results);
}
Can I just write something like within PageResultSet
function fetchAssocPRS extends fetchAssoc () {
if ($this-row = $this-pageSize) return FALSE;
}
Thanks for the help.

Re: [PHP] Extending a Class
Thank you,
This makes allot of sense.
However one last question about this.
If I access the overrided function from the child class do I access it by.
$instanceofchildclass-parent::someMethod();
OR would I still simply just call it
$instanceofchildclass-someMethod();
And it would get to use the overrided function in the child class??

Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
* Brent Baisley [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
You've got most of it. Just adding extends MySQL to your page result
class will allow you to access all function in the MySQL class. I
usually reference functions in the parent class like this:
parent::FunctionName()
This is a bad practice when inheriting, usually -- the whole point is
that the parent classes methods are directly available to the child
class without using such constructs.
$this- FunctionName()
will execute the method 'FunctionName' from the current class -- or any
parent class if it is not defined in the current class. There's one good
exception:
You still reference functions in the current class using $this- , that
way you can have functions of the same name in both classes.
To make a method in the child class of the same name as a method in the
parent class is called overriding -- and is usually done to either
change the behaviour of that method (for example, if you want to do
something completely different than what was done in the parent class)
or to supplement the behaviour of the parent method -- for instance, if
the child class wishes to do some processing before or after the parent
method is executed. In this latter case, you *will* use the
parent::FunctionName() construct -- so that you can actually access the
method you're currently overriding:
class parentClass
{
// ...
function someMethod()
{
// do something
}
}
class someClass extends parentClass
{
// ...
function someMethod()
{
// do some processing first
parent::someMethod();
// do some postprocessing
}
}
So, in the OP's case, he might want to have override the fetchAssoc()
method in his PageResultSet subclass so that it tacks on the LIMIT info
to the SQL statement, and then have it call the parent (Mysql class)
fetchAssoc() method with that modified SQL.

[PHP] DBF to MySQL using PHP Script

[PHP] Help with SQL Query String
Ave, Simple problem.. Following is a statement I¹m inserting in my PHP Script... But it doesn¹t work because I¹m not able to figure out how to put the variables with the trim() function in the SQL insert statement: $sql = INSERT INTO tblname (USERID,FULLNAME,SSN,STARTDATE) VALUES (trim($row[USERID]),trim($row[FULLNAME]),trim($row[SSNO]),trim($row[STARTDAT E])); I can of course predefine a unique variables for each of the $row[] variables with the trim() function and then use those variables in my INSERT statement... But I¹m sure there is a way this statement can work, I¹m just not able to figure it out and would love if anyway made a suggestion. Thanks, Rahul S.

Re: [PHP] Help with SQL Query String
Ave,
Thanks a lot folks.
I did actually mention that doing something like
$userid = trim($row['USERID']);
And then using those variables in my SQL statement would work... The only
reason I chose to make this post however and not do that was because I
wanted to know if it can be done the other way. I do understand though that
using the PHP trim() function in an SQL statemnt won't work.
However the new snip about mySQL having it's own TRIM() function is also
pretty cool.
Thanks again all,

You should not just give him the code but rather tell him why.
1. trim() is a php function. MySQL does not know what to do with it. You
need to place it 'outside' of the sql. You can also do something like
this:
$userid = trim($row['USERID']);
Then use $userid in your sql.
2. Items in arrays must be in quotes.

Actually http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/string-functions.html shows
that MySQL also has a trim function which could be applied thusly;
$sql = INSERT INTO tblname (USERID,FULLNAME,SSN,STARTDATE) ;
$sql .= VALUES ( ;
$sql .= TRIM(' . $row['USERID'] . '), ;
$sql .= TRIM(' . $row['FULLNAME'] . '), ;
$sql .= TRIM(' . $row['SSNO'] . '), ;
$sql .= TRIM(' . $row['STARTDATE'] . ') ;
$sql .= ) ;

[PHP] Creating INSERT INTO statement from dbf file
Ave,
I¹ve written a code that is able to extract the Column names and Records
from a simple dbf (foxpro) file and create an INSERT INTO sql statement
which can be used to insert all those records with their corresponding field
names in an existing mySQL table. (A CREATE TABLE code I wrote is able to
create the table from the dbf file information).
Following is the code I wrote for creating the INSERT INTO sql:
?php
$db_path = $DATABASEFILE;
$dbh = dbase_open($db_path, 0) or die(Error! Could not open
dbase database file '$db_path'.);
if ($dbh) {
#Get the Information
$column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh);
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($dbh);
#Run the loop for all the records in the Table
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbh, $i);
echo INSERT INTO .substr($DATABASEFILE_name,0,-4). (;
#Run the loop for all the fields in the Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {echo $v1[name],;}
echo ) VALUES (;
#Run the loop for all the values corresponding to fields in the
Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {echo
'.trim($row[$v1[name]]).',;}
echo '); br;
}
}
dbase_close($dbh);
?
It works fine, except for one problem. It¹s able to create the INSERT INTO
sql statement, with all the fields and corresponding values, but as I¹m
running a loop for both the fields names, and the values corresponding to
fields names, it leaves a comma after the records are over.
So instead of having this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3) VALUES
(v1¹,¹v2¹,¹v3¹);
I achieve this : INSERT INTO tblname (c1,c2,c3,) VALUES (v1¹,¹v2¹,¹v3¹,¹);
Notice an additional Comma after column names, and an additional ,¹ after
the values. I¹m not quite sure what to do to get rid of those. I¹ve tried
some different combinations using different kind of logic with the echo
statements, but it¹s not working out. Would love some help.

Re: [PHP] Creating INSERT INTO statement from dbf file - SOLVED!
Ave,
I¹m sure there would be better ways of doing this, and mine may not be the
most decent, but I did manage to solve this.
Here¹s how I did it:
- Create An Array
- Run the loop for all the records in the table
- Fill the array with the Field Names
- Display the Fields names with the ³Comma² being inserted on an ³If²
condition pertaining to the count() for the Array. So we place the ³Comma²
only ³If² there is a Value remaining in the Array.
- Reinitialize (empty) the Array upon restart of the loop (So that the next
set of values can go in)
I did this once for the Field Names and then again for the Values, and it
works perfect! The commas apostrophes are just the way they should be, not
excessive. The entire INSERT INTO SQL statement is generated from the data
in the DBF file.
Here¹s the code:
?php
$db_path = $DATABASEFILE;
$dbh = dbase_open($db_path, 0) or die(Error! Could not open
dbase database file '$db_path'.);
if ($dbh) {
#Get the Information
$column_info = dbase_get_header_info($dbh);
$record_numbers = dbase_numrecords($dbh);
$fArray = array();
$vArray = array();
#Run the loop for all the records in the Table
for ($i = 1; $i = $record_numbers; $i++) {
$row = dbase_get_record_with_names($dbh, $i);
$fArray = array();
$vArray = array();
echo INSERT INTO .substr($DATABASEFILE_name,0,-4). (;
#Run the loop for all the fields Assign Field Names to an
Array
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {$fArray[]=$v1[name]; };
#Run the loop for all values in the Array Display Field Names
$c=count($fArray);
for($j=0;$j=$c;$j++) { echo $fArray[$j]; if($j$c-1) { echo
,; } }
echo ) VALUES (;
#Run the loop for all the values corresponding to fields in the
Table
foreach ($column_info as $v1) {
$vArray[]=trim($row[$v1[name]]); }
#Run the loop for all values in the Array Display Values
$c2=count($vArray);
for($j2=0;$j2=$c2;$j2++) {
if($j2$c2) { echo '; }
echo $vArray[$j2];
if($j2$c2) { echo '; }
if($j2$c2-1) { echo , ; }
}
echo ); br;
}
}
dbase_close($dbh);

Asunto: [PHP] var static
I want to obtain only one instance of one class. In other to do that, I call
to a static method, that creates the instance(if it doesnt exit) or returns
the reference of the instance.
The call to the static method is the next:
$conexiondb=db::getInstancia();
Well, but if I call to db::getInstancia() another time, I obtain another new
object :-(
The code of the db class is the next (it is a Singleton Pattern, but it
doesnt work)
class db{
var $_miInstancia;
function db (){
// funcion que se conecta con la BBDD
static $miInstancia;
$this-_miInstancia=$miInstancia;
$result = @mysql_pconnect(inforalv, discoteca, password);
if (!$result)
return false;
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED](discoteca))
return false;
}
function getInstancia(){
if (!isset($this))
$_miInstancia=new db();
return $_miInstancia;
}
}
I think that the problem is that the var _miInstance is not static and I
dont know how to do it.
Could you please tell me if there is anything wrong?
Thanks.

Greetings People,
Now basically I am trying to set up an easy way to have key value pairs
listed in a DB, and then be able to call the name of the key as a variable
later in the code of the page and list the corresponding value in the DB. I
am almost there. However I just need to figure out some scope issues with
functions.
I want to create variables with names on the fly through a function and
have them last beyond the life of the function.
However I do not want to have to declare each key/variable as a global
variable in the function, will defeat the purpose of this.
I have the following DB table
sao_key sao_value
app_past_enroll 1
something 0
something_else 1
yet 1
I have the following function
function key_value ( $mysql ) {
if ( $sao_row = $mysql - fetchRow() ) {
do {
${$sao_row[0]} = $sao_row[1]; // Create a
variablle to pull the radio variable name
} while ( $sao_row = $mysql - fetchRow() );
}
}
I have the following code
$sql = SELECT sao_key, sao_value FROM staff_app_options
$sao = new MySQL ( $sql ); # Create an object with the above query
key_value ( $sao );
echo 'Past Enrollment = ' . $app_past_enroll . NL;
echo 'something = ' . $something . NL;
echo 'something_else = ' . $something_else . NL;
echo 'yet = ' . $yet . NL;
So how do I get the script to read $app_past_enroll as a variable after it
has been created by the function?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [PHP] Question about the scope of functions - I solved it
Hey all,
Nevermind this. I just solved it myself.
I found out it does not matter when you decalre a variable as global (other
than I guess before you use it)
So I made my function this way.
function key_value ( $mysql ) {
if ( $sao_row = $mysql - fetchRow() ) {
do {
global ${$sao_row[0]};
${$sao_row[0]} = $sao_row[1]; // Create a
variablle to pull the radio variable name
} while ( $sao_row = $mysql - fetchRow() );
}
}
and it works like a charm.

Re: [PHP] $_FILES help. Counting help
Didier,
My guess is in your HTML, you have the input(s) named as 'file'..
Because of the way that PHP handles it's POST/GET variables, you will
want to redeclare your input names in your HTML to 'file[]'... This
basically defines that it is an array..
Hope that helps,
Jordan

Re: [PHP] Sessions can be dangerous
Wim While I do see the usefullness of sessions, I have to disagree with you on the security aspect. A session ID is just as vulnerable to sniffing as is a username / password combination. The only security you gain from using it instead is that it's value is time limited. If your application reallys needs all that security, you'd better be using a secure transport, period. The session might even be worse, because, for instance, if you're using the files session handler, another user of your system may be able to easily read the current sessions id's from the temp folder, and hijack an authenticated session, even if it were encrypted. As george stated, there is also always the chance that the session_id generator is NOT secure, in which case you're really up the proverbial creek. You're right, however, in that storing all the state information on the server is a good thing. Why pollute your html with hidden fields, or mangle the heck out of your urls. I DO believe that maintaining state is a necessity when attempting to write Applications on the web, instead of just web pages. --erik Wim Paulussen wrote: George, Having created an invoicing system using php , I very clearly understand the advantage the session construction holds : the information is maintained on the server, rather than floating around in cyberspace between the client and server each and every time you exchange information. If you want to use hidden input you need to set up a secure link each and every time you transfer the o so important username/password combination. Furthermore , the session data is not that difficult to access with another program as long as you can capture the session-id, which you can. All in all , I did not yet come across a better system to get something working in a manageable and secure way. You could go a step further and mimick the session_data management via a database interface if your data quality is such an important issue, but then again, make sure you have a foolproof system to make logging in into the database secure ! Nobody forces you to use the session system and if you want to shy away from it , it is your choice, but I am a little bit afraid that your lenghty email about session insecurity will be meaningfull only for the core PHP developers/auditors. Wim -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: George Whiffen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: Friday, May 30, 2003 4:27 PM Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: [PHP] Sessions can be dangerous Dear All, There doesn't seem to be much discussion of the disadvantages and long term dangers of using php sessions. So let's redress the balance: 1. Heterogeneous Code Environments php session data is not easily accessible from non-php code e.g. Perl/C/ASP etc. In contrast, either client-stored data e.g. cookies, hidden posts, get variables, or data stored in a structured database table, (i.e. one column per variable), is easily accessible from other code. The implication is that sessions may suit you fine as long as only php is used on your site. However, if your site matures and you ever want or need to use another language for some pages, it will be hard for those pages to access data stored in sessions. On the other hand, if the data had been stored in an well-established industry standard format, you should have no problems. 2. Provably Secure Authentication Data Hopefully we all know by now that the best way to safely authenticate for access control is to make sure the username/password is checked every time either by your script, your webserver or a trusted third-party. However, I have the feeling some session users are tempted to simply authenticate in one script and store a logged in or username flag in the session without the username/password having been re-validated. It's not a complete disaster if you do this, which probably means lots of people do it! But this is only as secure as the session_id key. I don't doubt that session_ids are generated with a high-quality random number generator and should be suitably uncrackable. However, the crackability/vulnerability of a username/password schema is very well understood. Can we really say that the vulnerability/crackability of a session_id is as well understood? What happens if, and I'm sure it's a remote chance, there is ever a bug in the session-key generation that stops them being so random so a session_id crack becomes not just possible but real easy! Usernames/passwords just don't have that kind of vulnerability, and the vulnerabilities they do have are well known. 3. Independent Audit of Server Stored Data Procedures for independently verifying the data stored on a server in a SQL RDBMs are well established. It is easy to query the database schema to see what columns are defined. It is easy to verify that the data actually held in a column is as expected. In general it is easy to prove and verify what data is held e.g. to prove Data Protection compliance or Bank/Credit Card
Re: [PHP] general questions
Dale, 1. If my memory serves me correctly, when you initialize a variable, it is given the default value of NULL until something is assigned to it. 2. PHP is not a strongly typed language, meaning that your array would act as so: $arr_test[0] = 1; /// Integer type $arr_test[1] = My Name; /// String type $arr_test[2] = true; /// Boolean type Hope this helps, Jordan S. Jones Dale wrote: I am new to php and I just have some general questions. 1. when you create a new variable such as an integer, is it automatically initialized or is it considered empty similar to asp? 2. If I were to create an array and filled the array with a Boolean value, a string, and an integer what type would the array take on? Thanks, Dale

The Russian Partners returned my husband's Share of USD$25,000,000.00 after the death of my husband and Lodged in my husband's Security Company of which l am director right now, the new Civilian Government have intensified their probe on my husband? Financial and oil company. In view of these, l acted fast to withdraw the US$25,000,000.00 from the company vault and deposited it in a Security Company. I have since declared the Security Company bankrupt. No record ever existed concerning the money traceable by the government because there is no documentation showing that we received the money from the Russian.

Re: [PHP] Communication between PHP Server code and HTML/JavaScript client without refreshing the page
Hi, It is RPC software. I have used it.

The Script directory is an exact copy of the download available from http://www.microsoft.com/scripting but is has been extracted out of the windows exe to allow access from Unix. Remote scripting allows RPC calls to PHP objects located at the server. These calls can be synchronous or asynchronous. You can build some really cool pages by combining DHTML and RPC. In the simple case this lets you change part of a page without causing a reload. Remote scripting is supposed to work in MSIE and Netscape, but I haven't checked it in Netscape. The MS client components are unchanged, you use RSPROXY.CLASS and RS.HTM exactly as you would for the ASP engine. The only thing to watch for is that PHP method names are not case sensitive and Javascript names are. The result is that you need to always use lower case method names from your HTML file. RS.INC replaces RS.ASP on the server. They should function exactly the same, if they don't let me know. RSPROXY.JAVA source code is available by buying MS Visual Interdev. They distribute the compiled class for free. RSPROXY uses http GET to call remote methods which limits the amount of parameters that can be passed. At some point I'll recode it to use PUT and allow unlimited parameters.
