RE: [PHP] PHP/Apache security question
if the script is running as user scott group scott, then it can only alter/read/execute files that the user scott has access to... nothing else. of course, if you have user scott, group users, and have user tom in group users, then any files that have the group read/write/exec permissions set could possibly be vulnerable to other user's scripts. -Original Message- From: Aaron Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP/Apache security question Does anyone know if SuExec plays friendly with PHP?

even a blank line at the end of a file that you're

RE: [PHP] How to prevent people from downloading images
there are two answers to this: 1) it cannot be done. as long as that image is on the person's computer screen, it is physically impossible to prevent that person from saving the image and using it. (a simple tap of the print screen will take a screenshot on windows machines, as someone else mentioned) 2) if you used java or some form of server-side script to pass the binary data directly to the browser, it would make it much harder for the average websurfur to steal the image, since he/she wouldnt be able to just right-click on it and select save as... (as someone also mentioned, he bought a java class that did this) but like i said before, if that image is viewable on the computer monitor, it's impossible to protect it if someone wants to steal it bad enough. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP] [OT-ish] Optional Extras.
off the top of my head, you could try using a lookup table to define the extra options... ford_spec table: id desc --- --- 1 air conditioning 2 whatever ford_cars table: car extra1 extra2 -- --- - 'contour' 1 0 'probe' 0 1 contour would have aircond but no whatever probe would have no aircond but would have whatever so to add more options specific to a manufacturer, you could make an entry into ford_spec and then create an extra3 field in ford_cars... this system, at least, would enable you to have as many extras as you wanted for each manufacturer, and have different options available for different manufacturers. i dont know how efficient this would be, and there are probably a bunch of better ways to do it, but i've seen this method used before by someone who developed a batteries catalog and needed to store different manufacturers with different options for their batteries. -Original Message- From: Dave Mariner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 12:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] [OT-ish] Optional Extras. Please excuse me if you consider this to be off-topic, but this is the best place I can think of to ask the (slightly long-winded) question. Imagine you have a car database (MySQL driven). Different models have different optional extras (air-con, central locking, immobiliser etc). I need to store the optional extras in a searchable form - i.e. the customer may have a wish-list of electric windows, aircon, and power steering. However the optional extras list is not and will not be finalised when the system goes live (probably will never be finalised!). Therefore I cannot do the quick-and-dirty hack of putting all the options as binary fields in my car database, so must come up with a more elegant solution. I've thought of storing e.g. 10 tuples car.option1-aircon code, car.option2-powersteering code. etc. and also going down the header-detail route. My current quandry is to which is going to be better for the search aspect, considering I'd also like to give them a best fit option. Would it be to create a cursor on my fixed criterion (price, age etc) and then iterate through each of those manually in my php script (see - it isn't entirely off topic ;0) ) counting the matches for that record in the optional-extra detail table? Or would it be to do a select where (optionalextra1=mychoice1 or optionalextra2 = mychoice1 ..) and (optionalextra2=mychoice2 or optionalextra2 = mychoice2.. ) and etc etc (yeuch!). I have a sneaking suspicion that there's a more elegant way than either of these, but can't think of it at the moment. If you come up with the solution there's a beer in it for you the next time you're in Paphos, Cyprus!

if (isset($variable) { print this message }
else {do this
header (); }
i've done that loads of times so the form data goes back to the page, and
once its inserted into the db, it sends a header to redirect.

Subject: [PHP] Forms and PHP_SELF
I'm currently working on a project and I've come across a problem which I'm
sure has been discussed several times before but I still need some
assistance on it.
I have a page with a form whose action is $PHP_SELF so the form and the form
action are all in the same pagethis works fine but in the form action a
message is displayed stating success or failure of the insertion of data
into a database and the user is redirected by means of a meta
refershduring this time if the user refreshes the page the data is
resubmitted againthe user can do this repeatedly
Some people have suggested that I use headers but I cannot do this at this
point because I've already sent the header...
others have suggested I use some variable
$script_ran_count = 1 then run and after increment so a test of it would be
false...this had no effect
others have suggested javascript...
I'm really baffled...how can I have a self-submitting form page that has a
display message and a meta redirect but if the user refreshes the page stop
the resumission of data?
Regards,
Chad Guilette

This was taken directly from the PHP.net site:
if ($dir = @opendir(/tmp)) {

Hi,
Sorry if this is a repeat question, I just can't seem to find an answer to
this question.
I am running php4 on NT. I've been able to connect to some network equipment
with the snmp commands, and retrieve the results. But it's the list of
values, which can be tough to correspond to the MIB. Is there a way to get
at least the x.x.x.x.x.x from a MIB file into an array of some kind, or even
better, to get the object names and such into an array?
Thanks for any information,

RE: [PHP] PERL vs. PHP
PHP was started as a suite of perl programs... it is heavily
influenced by perl. if you understand PHP and are comfortable
with it, you should not have any problems learning Perl.
there are some very important differences between the two
languages that you need to keep your eyes open for,
things like variable scoping (perl vars are global by default)
and variable prefixes
@varname = array
$varname[1] = item in the array
%varname = hash (assoc. array)
$varname{'name'} = element of the hash.
PHP kind-of smoothes over the perl approach to variables
and makes *everything* $varname, $varname[1], $varname['name']
IMO, perl allows you greater control over a number of
things that PHP doesn't address, but that's mainly becuase
perl is older and has had more time to build up funcitonality
and also becuase perl's focus is larger than web-based projects
(so you can use perl to do some things that you probably cant
do in PHP, like create daemons and servers)
all in all, if you know and love PHP, you'll probably find a
friendly home in Perl. :)

exitpoint. Jumping out of a function somewhere in the middle leads to
unmaintainable code, and bugs when extending that function and that
return is overlooked. But, as with the indenting and bracket placing, it
is a matter of religion. They would have to torture me for three weeks
to get me to place the brackets like you did in your example :)
function blah()
{
$retval = "";
switch( $bob )
{
case 1:
$retval = "this";
break;
case 2:
$retval = "that";
break;
default:
$retval = "other";
break;
}
return $retval;
}

is there a way to compare a value to a preset range.
for example;
$preset_ range = [0...65535]
$a[0] = "12";
$a[1] = "198";
$a[2] = "B";
$ac = count($a);
for($x=0; $x $ac; $x++)
{
if($a[$x] != $preset_range)
{
$valid = 0;
}
else
{
valid = 1;
}
print($valid . "\n");
}
output should look like:
1
1
0
how is this accomplished in PHP?
thanks.

RE: [PHP] Last Element in an Array?
you can get the amount of elements in an array using count()
and use that # as an index value for 1+ the last value
(the last value that's NOT IN the array)
$a = array('12', '198', 'b');
print count($a);
this'll give you "3", which, as you can see,
the last valid subscript of $a is $a[2];

Jason,
You can use array_pop() to return the last element of the array -
$last_item = array_pop ($array);
but if you just want your array processing to stop when it's reached the
last item in the array (and avoid the loop) then do something like:
while (list ($var1, $var2) = each ($array))
HTH!

[PHP] Sessions: suggestions and comments
what i did was implement my own session class
so that i can have a single session variable ($s)
and have it handle all my session needs via
an OO interface ($s-CleanUp(), $s-Update(), ...)
consequently, all of my session data is in a
simple assoc. array that's a variable of the
session class (sdata) so i can get to all of
my session data via $s-sdata[...]
i update a value by: $s-Update('name', 'newvalue)
and start the session: $s = new Session( $cookie_sid );
no mucking around with multiple global variables
and such... no registering of variables and worrying
about PHP's internals - just one object (and thus,
one variable) is all i need for session handling.
i dont understand why more people dont use
assoc. arrays for their session needs...
ive never used PHP's built-in session handling
so im not too sure of it's limitations, but
are there any (good) reasons why more people dont
use associative arrays as their session variables?
for example:
instead of having a mess of globals:
$username
$firstname
$session_id
$this
$that
you could just register one variable and
use it as an assoc. array to store all of
the values you needed. ($svar, for instance)
$svar['username']
$svar['firstname']
$svar['session_id']
$svar['this']
$svar['that']
this would enable you to take an arbitrary number
of variables and cut it down to *one* single assoc
array seems to be a rather large benefit in
doing things this way... so i cannot figure out
why i dont see more people taking this road
--
i come from a perl background, so im used to
using hashes (assoc. arrays) for lots of things.
i get the feeling that not very many people on
this list (newbies, at least) are familiar
or comfortable with assoc. arrays.
any comments are welcome :)

RE: [PHP] I need an authentication method that is good... any Ideas? - please help
the way i do it for sites that need minimal to medium is to generate a session id whenever a user comes to the site. this session id is stored in mysql table and as a cookie on the user's computer. when the user logs in correctly, the username is stored in the database with the session ID (not as a cookie, only the session ID is saved as a cookie). i try and make it my goal to never store any usernames or passwords on the user's computer. the existence of the session ID is enough to allow me to look up that ID in the database and see if the user logged in correctly in the past few hours (expire time is ~6 hours, so after 6 hours of inactivity, the id is cleansed from the database) at the top of ever PHP page that requires a valid login, i check to see if the user has a session ID stored as a cookie, then look up that ID in the database to check if it's valid. if the ID is valid, i check to see if a username is also stored in the database. if there's a valid username stored alongside the session ID, then the user is recognized as being logged in. if no username is in the database, then i ask the user to log in. the session table has these fields: id (the generated session id) lastused (last time the user accessed a page) username (the username that the user logged in as) (password information is stored in another table) so... basically, if the user logs in correctly, it will generate a random session id and store the username in the database. *only* the session id will be stored on the client. when the user comes back to the website, if the id in their cookie matches an id in the database *and* the username field has a valid username, the user is not asked to log in again. if the session id is not found in the database (or is expired) the user is directed to a login page. any comments or thoughts on my method are welcome; especially any weaknesses that you may find in my system. thanks -Original Message- From: Romulo Roberto Pereira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 4:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] I need an authentication method that is good... any Ideas? - please help Hello!

the crypt password is stored in the database with enough room to store the

RE: [PHP] Help INSERTing to MySQL
you dont need to have a list of field names if you insert
the exact amount of fields that exist in the table...
if you have fields Name and Email, you can do:
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ('myname','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
without a problem. however, if you have fields
Name, Email and Password the previous code will break,
since MySQL would complain that you're inserting
too few (or too many) pieces of data into the table,
and it cant decide which data goes where

Re: [PHP] MySQL execution order?
mysql executes the queries in the order it recieves
them, (so if your program's logic executes a select
before an update, you'll never see results from the
update in your select... at least not normally :)
Are you able to access the MySQL monitor program?
if so, verify that the data really does exist
before running your script (maybe the SELECT
is failing beucase the actual data is incorrect,
not the code...)
go into the monitor and execute your SELECT
statement, then run your PHP script... if
the results still disagree, post some more
information...

Subject: [PHP] MySQL execution order?
Since I've always found my answers in the archive, this is my first post, so
please excuse any blunders...
I'm trying to download info from a table as a tab-delimted text file. This
part works fine. (By disabling the UPDATE statement in the code sample
below, I can get the same data file sent time after time.)
I need to keep the data in the table for future reference, and only want to
download each new record once, so I added a DateTime field that gets updated
after downloading. Then searching on that field gives me just the records
that haven't been downloaded yet.
The weird part is that it seems like the LAST MySQL command (UPDATE) gets
executed before the FIRST one (SELECT), because the SELECT statement comes
up with 0 rows.
Here's some selected (modified) parts of the PHP code:
First, I perform the SQL:
SELECT * from db_table WHERE (DownloadedDateTime = '-00-00 00:00:00')
Then, it parses and sends the info:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
while (list($key, $val) = each($row)) {
$val = ereg_replace("[\n\r\t]"," ",$val);
$val = ereg_replace(" {2,}"," ",$val);
echo $val . "\t";
}
//end of line
echo "\r";
}
Then I perform the SQL:
UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY db_table SET DownloadedDateTime=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP WHERE
(DownloadedDateTime = '-00-00 00:00:00')
--
Any ideas why the rows are getting the DownloadedDateTime field updated
before they get SELECTed?

Re: [PHP] Where do i look up return status codes?
for system("perl test.pl", $retval);

the value of $retval is the value that the perl

as someone else suggested, go and look for
exit(126) statements (or just exit(), if exit
returns the value of a variable, and not the

probably find a little note as to *what* the 126

To: PHP-General List
Subject: [PHP] system()
While doing a test run on an idea I have, I tried running the
system() command on an audio application:
? system('amp -p song_one.mp3') ?
...and found out that it works when I load the file up in a browser
- I get sound coming out from the physical web server's audio port.
Don't worry, this was the expected behavior, and also what I wanted to
happen. However, as the manual page says, system() will hang till the
command is done running.
I can hit the browser's Stop button, however the actual application
is still running - and won't stop till the file is done playing I assume
(or will it quit based on the webserver's time out value?) I suppose I
can create a button on the same page that executes something like
system('killall -KILL amp'); and be done with it. Haven't tried that
yet.
But, if I'm still crazy tomorrow and plan on continuing with this
project, how should this be done properly? Obviously, 'holding' the
browser while the program runs isn't the right way to do it. And I need
a way to stop the audio somehow.
The actual project looks something like this:
The server has a few directories filled with mp3 files. I'd like to
build a script that would dive into one of those directories (depending
on the user selection), and present a list of all the songs, with a
check box. The user can then select the ones s/he would like to hear
and click a Play button and enjoy. The amount of selections can be
anything, from one song, to all (should they want to sit there for 15
hours).
However, when they click Play, I want the same page to be reloaded
again, with nothing selected, and their (previous) selection to start
playing in the background. If they want to change their selection, they
can go ahead and pick other songs, and click Play again - THIS is where
the previous instance of the 'amp' program should be killed, and a new
one started, with the new play list queued. And of course, it should
also have a Stop button on the page somewhere.
A few notes on the amp program (for those that don't know it): I
_CAN_ run several instances of it, and they will all output audio
simultaneously through the port (unlike Windows which will tell you the
audio device is busy). So, if I start it once with song_one.mp3
playing, and a second time with song_two.mp3 playing, you will hear both
songs at the same time. (for that matter, I can run some 6 or 7
instances of the thing before the CPU starts to hiccup). It also
doesn't exit till the file is done playing (I believe all players do
this).
I'm not asking for someone to actually build this for me, no. But I
would be very grateful for some pointers, what can I do, and what I
should not do, and what to avoid all together. It's something for my
household to use, so they can listen to music through a simple
interface, as opposed to having to log into the server and figuring out
how/what to do through the shell, or X-Win interface.
Am I crazy?

RE: [PHP] question about multidimension array
-Original Message-
From: Zenith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Subject: [PHP] question about multidimension array
Consider the following code:
$ary1 = array ("one","two");
$ary2 = array ("three","four");
$2d_Dimension[] = $ary1;
$2d_Dimension[] = $ary2;
// is $2d_Dimension a 2 dimensional array?
yes... the "dimension" of an array is basically how many
brackets you put after the variable name...
1D = $this[];
2D = $this[][];
3D = $this[][][];
etc
// and the next question, how to get out content of the $2d_Dimension[]
array
while ( list ( $rec_no, $ary ) = each ( $2d_Dimension ) )
{
echo ("Record No $rec_no:");
while ( list ( $element1, $element2 ) = each ( $ary ) )
echo "$element1, $element2";
}
with a slight modification, that code works perfectly:
(see end of email for why you probably got a parse error)
?php
$ary1 = array ("one","two");
$ary2 = array ("three","four");
$twod = array($ary1, $ary2);
while ( list ($rec_no,$ary) = each ($twod) )
{
echo ("Record No $rec_no:");
while ( list ($key,$val) = each ($ary) )
echo "$key=$val; ";
echo "BR\n";
}
?
// I want to use the above code to print something like
// Record No 0:one, two
// Record No 1:three, four
my code produces:
Record No 0:0=one; 1=two;
Record No 1:0=three; 1=four;
suppress printing $key, and you'll get the output you want.
// But I only got the following
//Record No 0:
//Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in
d:/project/bizvista/testinc.php on line 27
What's the problem?
if i use your code verbatim, i get a parse error becuase of the
variable name starting with a digit, but as for the error *you*
describe, when i put the loop inside of a function, and fail to declare
$twod as global, i get the same error:
"Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object ..."
make sure you declare all globals as "global $varname" in your
functions... PHP is basically the reverse of almost every other
language (things are local by default, global by declaration)...

[PHP] ASP / PHP / embedded scripting (possibly OT)
i dont know too much about ASP, as i've never had to use it, but i thought ASP as more of an enviornment (or meta-language) rather than an actual programming language (becuase VBscript is the default language for ASP pages, i always assumed that other languages could be utilized in place of VB(yuck)) could you use any other language aside from VBscript if the client mandates ASP, or is ASP tied to VB/Microsoft? the reason i ask is becuase i heard about a perl product that would basically do almost the same thing as PHP (put perl code in the HTML document, and the server would parse thru it when someone requested the page)... and i always thought that ASP was the meta-language that governed the rules for embedded programming (use ? to start script, etc... rules like that) rather than an actual *language* am i wrong? anyone care to clarify what ASP is, and what it's relation to PHP is on or off the list, whichever suits you ;) PS: please excuse me if you feel that i am off topic -Original Message- From: John Monfort [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 10:16 To: Adrian Murphy Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] woe is me I feel your pain. :-( __John Monfort_ _+---+_ P E P I E D E S I G N S www.pepiedesigns.com "The world is waiting, are you ready?" -+___+- On Mon, 19 Feb 2001, Adrian Murphy wrote: i'm sorry,i just had to share this with people who'd understand. we've just secured clients who are m$ affiliated and they insist everthing be done with asp. excuse me while i go off for a little cry. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] some more about include() and require()
include() will only load the file if the include() statement is encountered
during the execution of your script
if (1==0) {
include("file");
}
the file will never be include()'d, since the if/then will always fail.
require() will always put the contents of the file being requie()'d
into your script, regardless if it is executed or not...
if (1==0) {
require("file");
}
the contents of "file" will be placed inside of the if/then,
even though it'll never be executed.
also, include() is evaluated every time it is encountered,
whereas require() is only evaluated once...
**
**From the PHP.net website documentation**
The include() statement includes and evaluates the specified file.
If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default
configuration), you can specify the file to be include()ed using an URL instead of a
local pathname. See Remote files and fopen() for more information.
An important note about how this works is that when a file is include()ed or
require()ed, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML mode at the beginning of the
target file, and resumes again at the end. For this reason, any code inside the
target file which should be executed as PHP code must be enclosed within valid PHP
start and end tags.
This happens each time the include() statement is encountered, so you can use an
include() statement within a looping structure to include a number of different
files.
include() differs from require() in that the include statement is re-evaluated each
time it is encountered (and only when it is being executed), whereas the require()
statement is replaced by the required file when it is first encountered, whether the
contents of the file will be evaluated or not (for example, if it is inside an if
statement whose condition evaluated to false).

would a PHP call to "system('nohup ... ')" fail, or are your

What he could do is write a small Perl/C wrapper for amp, which launches

$AmpPID = system ("launchamp $Arg");
(the wrapper would have to execute "nohup amp $Args ")

And ampstop.php can do a

However, when they click Play, I want the same page to be
reloaded again, with nothing selected, and their (previous) selection
to start playing in the background. If they want to change their
selection, they can go ahead and pick other songs, and click Play
again - THIS is where the previous instance of the 'amp' program

RE: [PHP] Simple REGEX?
well, if the only characters that you want to allow are
alphanum/space/underscore, you could use a
perl regexp to match against anything *other* than
those things...(a positive match would indicate that the
string being matched had invalid characters in it)
use this:
preg_match('/[^\w\s]/', $input);
(to see an explanation of why this works, please read
the bottom of my email... i give a short breakdown of it)
if you want to allow any more characters, simply place the
character you want to allow within the brackets, and any
instance of that character in the string to be matched
will be ignored (rather than matched)
for example, to allow periods and question marks in
your input (without getting a positive match on the regexp),
modify it to look like this: '/[^\w\s\.\?]/'
what will match and what will not match using this regexp:
print preg_match('/[^\w\s]/', $t);
$t = "ea!ti_t99";
will print "1" since the "!" will match the regexp
$t = "Hello one_two"
will print "0" since nothing matches
$t = "How *are* you"
will print "1" since the "*" matches
the regexp works like this:
[ ] = character class
^ = not
\w = alphanumeric
\s = space
the character class brackets are just to let the regexp
know that the things inside of it are to be matched one
by one against the string. "[suv]" would not match the entire
string "suv", but rather "s" or "u" or "v", so "[\w\s]" would
match any string that had an alphanumeric character or
whitespace in it. since you want to find strings that
have NOT-alphanum or NOT-space, you simply negate the
character class that will match alphanum and space, by
adding a "^" to it... making it "[^\w\s]" (match anything
that is NOT an alphanumeric or space character - meaning
match any string that has invalid characters).
if you want to allow other characters into your input, just
add them into the character class. if you find that you need
to allow "?" into your input, use this "[^\w\s\?]"... and it will
match any string that does NOT have alphanum/space/?,
meaning that it will match any string with invalid chars.

RE: [PHP] REGEX prob
did you check the value *before* writing it to a file?
before trying to solve any problem, you have to know
where to look perhaps the problem lies with the file
instead of the regexp.
the following code worked great for me:
?php
$html='a
href="link.htm?something=valueflag=982420537PHPSESSID=2c86b460d360b13c3ef08b8a46b9c
afc"Lnk/a';
$html = preg_replace('/flag=(\d{9})PHPSESSID=(\w{32})/', append_url(), $html );
print $html;
save_url($html);
die("Done");
function append_url() {
return "new_url=this";
}
function save_url($html) {
if ( !($f = fopen('test.txt', 'w')) ) {
die("Cannot write file");
}
else {
fwrite($f, $html);
fclose($f);
}
return 1;
}
?

Subject: [PHP] REGEX prob
Hi all,
I'm trying to match a particular piece of string in a big string using a
regex in order to change it whith another value ... I mean:
eg:
$html="a
href=link.htm?flag=982420537PHPSESSID=2c86b460d360b13c3ef08b8a46b9cafcLnk
/a";
function change_sess($html_code){
if(eregi("flag=[0-9]{9}PHPSESSID=[[:alnum:]]{32}",$html_code)){
str_replace("flag=[0-9]{9}PHPSESSID=[[:alnum:]]{32}","?=append_url();?",
$html_code);
}
}
change_sess($html);
...
$fp=fopen($my_file,"w");
fwrite($fp,$html);
...
But open the $my_file, the changes are not applied ... (I mean: there's
always the original string --
flag=982420537PHPSESSID=2c86b460d360b13c3ef08b8a46b9cafc)
Anyone could help me, please?
many thanks in advance

RE: [PHP] more on trimming
well, there are two solutions,
1) for variables with only whitespace to be trimmed
2) variables with whitespace and \n to be trimmed
1) solution:
the way i'd do it too is regexp... very similar to your solution
(you're on the right track, but just needed to take that final step)
$var = "This is a variable ";
print ".". ereg_replace('( +)$','',$var) .".";
this will print ".This is a variable."
the regexp replaces all whitespace at the end with nothing.
"$" means to match at the end, and "( +)" means to match one or more spaces
2) solution:
for text with mixed linebreaks and spaces, i cannot seem
to find a single regexp that'll compile, so i came up with a bad
emulation of perl's s//g (global replace) by using a while
loop to keep checking if there's any more crap that needs
to get cut off the end...
$var = "This is
text with linebreaks and spaces
";
while (ereg("(\n| )$", $var)) {
$var = ereg_replace("(\n+| +)$",'',$var);
}
print "$varBR\n";
prints:
"This is
text with linebreaks and spaces"
(with no further linebreaks *or* spaces after the word "spaces")
PS: if anyone out there is more familiar with PHP/regexps than i am,
could you please send me an email explaining how to get global
pattern matching (ala perl's s///g command) in PHP??
i cannot seem to find any switches for ereg that make it match global

Subject: [PHP] more on trimming
Since this thread is running I would like to know the gurus' opinons on the
similar following situation
Suppose there is a variable like this
$var = "This is a variable ";
Now I want to strip off white spaces on the end without losing them in the
middle of the sentence ..
I had figured that there is a no direct way of doing it and some thing like
this
works
$var = trim (ereg_replace(" ","",$var));
the first argument to ereg_replace is "two spaces" so that single spaces
between the words are not removed
then trim to remove any space on the end which may still remain.
But I feel its still not a fool proof solution because there may be two
spaces in between words some where also
which will then be clubbed together.
Any body has a better idea.

RE: [PHP] location
you could possibly store the name/password as cookies, so
that they're available to the PHP script without the user having
to type them in more than once per session (or even longer
if you set the expire date properly)
i know that cookies are horribly insecure, but for purposes
of a very simple validation routine, cookies are sufficient)
if ( !validate_user($ck_name,$ck_pw) ) {
print "you are not logged in, please go log in";
}
else {
print "you are logged in";
}
function validate_user($ck_name, $ck_pw) {
//make whatever calls you need to the database
//to see if this name/pw combination are valid.
//return 1 if good, return 0 if bad

make a function which validates users.
Then where ever you want to restrict access just call that function before
other things .. and it will

RE: [PHP] search
it's such a complex question and answer that i really think you need to ponder some more fundamental design concepts before you ask for advice on actually coding the thing... such as what type of database layout fits the type of information you will be storing/searching/retrieving, how you want to categorize the information in your database, how the interface will look and operate (do you want to allow boolean expressions, or just search for any occurence of any word in the search field) to get a very simple searcher thing working, it's not very hard (ive done it in perl/MySQL for a site that had about 20 static HTML pages and some news stories in a database table) and it took me about half a day however, you have to know what you want to accomplish beforehand or else you'll bang your head against the wall quite often during development :) if you're going for an exremely simple searcher with few features and not too much flexibility, i'd reccomend creating a keyword lookup table that simply relates keywords to the thing they refer to (HTML page, PHP page, etc...) the table might look a bit like this, if you had two pages and a total of two keywords: key| page --| "foo" | "firewall.html" "bar" | "vpn.html" "bar" | "firewall.html" then, when people entered either "foo" or "bar" (or "foo bar") into your search field, the resulting query would be a list of pages that were associated with either (or both) of those keywords. "foo" = "firewall.html" "bar" = "vpn.html" "foo bar" = "firewall.html" and "vpn.html" -Original Message- From: Brandon Feldhahn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 23:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] search How do i make a php and MySQL search engine? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I agree...

Re: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah
i'd use split, to split the value up into an array:
if this is your url
$url = "/pages/error.php?/pages/login.php?user=scott";
and use this code:
$thing = split('\?', $url);
print $thing[0] ." BR\n ";
print $thing[1] ." BR\n ";
print $thing[2] ." BR\n ";
output will be:

I really wouldn't ask this if I wasn't completely exausted, but the last

OK, I've an error handling page. Basically, I want to split (that might

error.php?/pages/login.php?username=name
into:
/pages/login.php
I'm using :

When echoing the request_uri back on the error page, it omits the error.php?
bit, so I get:

The reason I want to do this is so that I can use a re-login form that will
submit to the page the user has badly logged into, so if they logged in to
main.php, the request_uri would be something like:
/pages/main.php?username=name
Which I'd want to rebuild on the error page, into a form, like:
form method="post" action=? echo "$REQUEST_URI"; /* Minus the suffix the
page may include */ ?"
Username: input type="text" name="username"r
etc/form

RE: [PHP] Can PHP execute a refresh to a new page?
i've been using the header("...") approach myself, but
was curious to see if there's a builtin PHP function that
will accomplish the same thing
im a kind-of new PHP programmer, and havent really
been exposed to too much of the language yet,
but i found it quite odd that such a function seems to
be absent from the core language, since it's a web
based language... and moving a browser from one
URL to another is quite common among web scripts.

RE: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah
with slight modifications, yes... that will work.
1) PHP doesnt support built-in regexp's
(which is a constant sore in the side of any perl programmer)
so you'll have to ditch the /:/ for ':'
2) you have to declare lists as list(), unlike the
assumed behaviour in perl when it sees () = ...
this is how you'd do it in PHP
$str = 'C:programs:this:that.exe';
list($one, $two) = split(':', $str);
print $one ."BR\n";
print $two ."BR\n";
not very different, but different enough to be annoying :)

RE: [PHP] Can I select only the newest record?
there are two ways that come to mind of doing this if you're using some kind of auto-incrementing field (not necessarily AUTO_INCREMENT, but any field that increases [or decreases] with time) this will select the entire row, but limit the query to only return 1 result (and depending on how your order, this result could be the highest/lowest value of the field): (to get highest value of field id) SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1; (to get lowest value of field id) SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1; PS: there's probably a more efficient way to do it, but this is what came to mind at the moment... -Original Message- From: Brian Drexler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 20:22 To: Php-General Subject: [PHP] Can I select only the newest record?
