[PHP] Handling a BLOB (zip file) called from MySQL

2003-10-31 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 

I am trying to figure out how to best handle a record that contains a zip
file (BLOB) in MySQL.

When I call it out from the table, is the best way to handle the file by
writing it to a temporary directory?

The BLOB represents a '.zip' file,  so should I be using: zip_open /zip_read
/ zip_close when loading and retrieving the file to/from the data table?  Or
would fopen and such in binary mode be sufficient?

I don't need to open the zip file and see what is inside per se - just want
to store into the data table and pull it out as a file that can be
downloaded.

:)

Thanks!

-Mike

[PHP] PHP files processing with Apache

Does anyone know how to get apache to process ALL files for php?  What would
the settings be in a Virtual Host listing (or a plain host listing for that
matter)?

[PHP] header(); Issue

2003-06-19 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 

I have this in a script:

header(Location: $Relative/outstanding.php?pdd=1pddid=$poid);

It works fine elsewhere in the script without the variables.  Does anyone
know if php 4.06 has issues with this?  Or am I making a boneheaded mistake
here?

$Relative is from an include, and outputs fine.  :)

Thanks!

[PHP] PHP vs. CGI

2003-03-05 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 

Does PHP use less system resources than CGI on a server?

I have a bulletin board which is incredibly active, but there is a PHP
sister to it.

Thanks,

[PHP] while loop- will this work?

2003-01-30 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 


Should this work?

$f1 = rand(999,999);

while($check_sid = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM that_table WHERE this =
'$f1')){

$f1 = rand(999,999);

}


i.e. put the random number in a loop to check and make sure it is already
not in use?

Thanks,

[PHP] URLencode issues - halp!

2003-01-23 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 

I am having some issues, apparently, with URL encode.

I've got people signing up for a membership on a site, but some of their
memberships fail because the username, which in encoded, sometimes goes
through fine and sometimes does not.

Are there any special reasons this may happen?

I decided to use this because people are allowed to use *any* key as part of
their name, so a name like rt'$%^*'rt is perfectly allowable.

The strange thing is, more normal names like 'star99' or just 'logmein' are
failing, but the weirder character typed names are making it through fine.

Any ideas?

Oh, and BTW, I do use urldecode().  :)

Thanks,

-Mike

RE: [PHP] URLencode issues - halp! - code included

2003-01-23 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 

Here is some code:

From a form, I get username as $name and it goes to the processing file for
the form, where a sale happens and it sends the code to a different server
like this:


$data = urlencode($name);
print META HTTP-EQUIV='refresh'
CONTENT='0;URL=http://somedestination.php?name=$data';



That server then processes the person and puts them into the MySQL - but if
the name is bad, it errors out and stops the script:

$name = urldecode($name);
if(!$name) { print You entered an invalid name.  Please stop and call us
at; }
else {  Inserts record into database. }



That's it.  It doesn't seem to matter what the name entered is; there is no
rhyme or reason (seemingly) to the names it fails on (as per my previous
post).

urlencode may just be a flaky thing to use?  Perhaps depending on the
browser?

Thanks,

-Mike

  Take the
$name = urldecode($name);bit out.  The decoding is all handled by PHP before
your script runs.  Also, you should look into using $_GET['name'] instead of
$name.

[PHP] Keeping PHP out?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing, maybe by writing in perl or even
writing in a configuration file, as keeping PHP out of a certain directory
or directory structure?

I'm trying to figure out why PHP is not working in one of my directories; I
can tell you there is a good amount of perl/cgi in it.

[PHP] Unusual Form situation?

2002-02-27 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 


I have form I am working with and trying to add some PHP processing to the
form's contents.

The form is a html template used by a CGI script.

So, instead of having a 'submit' button for the form's content, there is a
GIF.  The CGI apparently reads the GIF as a button to submit the form's
content and move on.

How would I go about getting php to recognize this GIF as such?  Typically
for forms I use:

if ($submit) { blah, blah, blah }

Would I use if ($gifname)? Would the the GIF's name be the ALT tag?  Or am I
going to have to sift through the arcane CGI to find some action?

Can I make the PHP come to life using the ACTION section of the form (which
only refers to the CGI right now)?

Thanks,

-Mike

 I assume that you are doing something like this for your image:

 input type=image src=path/to/image/image.gif border=0
 name=myimage

 Given that, PHP gives you $myimage_x and $myimage_y which
 correspond to the
 X and Y coordinates that were clicked on the image from the user.

 So on the page that your form submits to, you can do the following:

 if (isset($myimage_x) || isset($myimage_y)) {
 // do something
 }

 If the image was clicked, this will submit your form, and both $myimage_x
 and $myimage_y will be set.

[PHP] PHP GD Library

2002-02-13 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 


I installed and recompiled PHP on my Apache server with the GD libs as well
as zlib and png libs.

I have a test script from the GD web site, but it doesn't seem to work.  The
test script is at:

http://www.spidermanzone.com/testgd2

And runs at:

http://www.spidermanzone.com/testgd2.php

The phpinfo showing that the libs are all enabled is at:

http://www.spidermanzone.com/phpinfo.php

Anyone have any suggestions or PHP script with GD in it that I could use to
test things?

[PHP] PHP and CGI

2002-02-12 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 


I did some research in the archives on this, but couldn't come up with a
straight answer.

I have a CGI script that uses and HTML template/form.  I would like to embed
a PHP script in the template to take some of the values of the CGI and put
them in a database.  I set up the database, wrote the PHP, but now find that
the CGI script apparently won't recognize my PHP.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do?

The CGI is a preset thing I can't re-write in PHP (at least for now).  And I
don't know much CGI myself.

[PHP] PHP not parsed in HTML

2002-02-12 Thread SpyProductions Support Team 


Hhere's another humdinger of a question:

I am with a hosting company that doesn't want to parse PHP in HTML files
because they are afraid it will slow down their server(s) too much.

So.  I really like them and don't want to move the site if I don't really
*have* to.  There are some neat things I would love to be doing in the HTML
on it, though.

I was thinking; could I make some sort of little javacript calling on, or
including the PHP file I want to run on the HTML page?

Thanks,

-Mike
