Re: [PHP] Problem with PHP as CGI
This is not an answer, but a further question on this subject. Do you (or anybody) know of a way to keep the path to PHP from showing up when the PHP CGI script is hit via HTTP?

Re: [PHP] running a stand-alone PHP program
Excellent. I got this working. From a command line the standalone PHP scripts work well, but if I hit them via http, it renders the path to PHP at the top of the page (but does execute the code). Any fix for that? Thanks, Rory On Thu, 17 May 2001, Nathan Cook wrote: Not if you are currently running it as an apache module. If you are running it as a cgi, then it might.

Re: [PHP] running a stand-alone PHP program
Yes, it has the path to PHP on the first line. So there's no way to hide it? It doesn't show up when it's a perl script and it's the path to perl. On Thu, 17 May 2001, Nathan Cook wrote: Does your script happen to look like this? #!/usr/local/bin/php ?php If so then it is because of that magic line at the top the '#!/usr/local/bin/php'.

[PHP] coding for 'no match found'
This is a simple yet fundamental programming question I am hoping somebody will
have the patience to explain...
I have a mysql database with the email field as the key. Before inserting an
new record to it I want to check if there is already a record with that e-mail.
This I can do fine. But this script needs to also handle delete requests,
which I can also do fine, but I need to code for the instance that there is a
delete request for an e-mail record that does not exist. How can I figure out
if after my 'while' loop is finished checking the database it has not found a
match (so i can inform the requester as such)?
Here's the code I have so far...
$email_check_query = SELECT email FROM $tablename WHERE email =
'$email';
$email_check_result = mysql_query($email_check_query);
while($email_query_data =
mysql_fetch_array($email_check_result)) {
$db_email = $email_query_data[email];
//if match, it's an update or delete
if ($email==$db_email) {
if ($op==delete) {
$action=del;
echo delete requestbr;
}
else {
$action = upd;
echo update requestbr;
}
}
} //end while loop

[PHP] indexing records
What I want to do is figure out a way to index MySQL query results on my PHP site that's not dependent on the id of each record. I've got a MySQL photo database that runs my photo site. Right now, the 'id' field is a sequential, auto-incremented number, and I am using that id as an index for the photos (because it was easy for me to grasp). It works now because the groups are organized in order (for example all the Iran pictures are sequential).

[PHP] One database, different forms
I am writing a PHP application that will operate on a MySQL database. There will be 4 types of forms (like catalog request, info request, etc.) calling the code which writes the data to the database. Since the variable names on the forms will equal the MySQL column names (as they should), I am wondering if there is a way for me to create my SQL statements on the fly so that only data passed is written. Otherwise I'll have to create 8 types of SQL statements...INSERT (if the record, keyed by e-mail address, doesn't exist), and UPDATE (if the record does exist) for all 4 forms. For example, on my add to mailing list form, only the e-mail address is collected. I'd like the PHP to recognize that only the 'email' field is passed and create the SQL statement that only writes the e-mail to the database. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

[PHP] array output as a variable?
another newbie programmer question...
is it possible to output the results of an array loop into a variable, or
directly into an SQL call?
Obviously the code below is impossible, but illustrates what I want to do:
//declare the array
$info_request = array (1 =
"firstname","lastname","email","howfound","optin","comments","request_type","request_bucket","date");
//output the array loop results to a variable
$array_results = foreach ($info_request As $value) { print "$value,"; }
//place the output variable into an SQL call (therefore making it
dynamic):
INSERT INTO $tablename ($array_results)
...
thanks!

[PHP] Case-Sensitivity with PHP and MySQL
I am writing a PHP script that operates on a MySQL database that uses the e-mail address as the primary key. If the e-mail doesn't exist in the database (when a form is submitted), I want to insert a new record. If it does, I want to update the existing record. How can I make the query that checks if the e-mail exists case-insensitive? I want to avoid users creating another record if they type in their e-mail in a different case.
