Re: [PHP] Using an image as a reset button on a PHP script

2001-07-13 Thread Aaron Bennett

Aside from doing 2 tricky... well... tricks. You can't.. Standard HTML (to
my knowledge) does not support the ability to have a reset button be set to
an image. only those large gray Cadillac sized hideous buttons.

Now, with that said.. there are 2 ways you can do it. ;-)

Client Side - If you used a client side scripting language, like javascript,
you could set the action of that image to (onMouseUp) clear the contents of
the form.. I have seen this done pleanty of times before... Keep in mind
that won't always work, but hey.. its just a reset button, right?

Server Side - Its possible (php certainly included) that in the code the
form submits to, it could check the value of that form image button, and if
true, return you to the form and clear all the fields... I'm trying to think
of anyone who does this, and am drawing a blank.. There isn't much reason
not to though... In fact, i much like this way, and if no one has
objections, i think i'll start doing it. ;-)

Interesting... I have excel2k, and it worked fine for me... The only thing i

[PHP] .htaccess php_value

2001-07-11 Thread Aaron Bennett

Hi There,
  I currently use .htaccess files to override the include path, which works
great for me... One of my concerns was the portability of the code, and the
possibility of not having control of http.conf

I'm now in the process of porting some of the sites onto a winnt architecure
(but still using apache as my webserver...). The contents of some of these
.htaccess files looks simelar to:

php_value include_path
".:/home/www/htdocs/php-lib:/home/www/htdocs/includes"

unfortunatly, apache for windows would prefer the format somewhat like:

php_value include_path ".;c:\web\site\php-lib;c:\php\whatever\includes"

(note the use of ';' rather than ':' as well)

So my question, is whats the best way to make the site's as portable as can
be? I assume that i could go thru _all_ the code and make include references
relative rather than relying on the config to find include()'s Any
suggestions?

Re: [PHP] PHP Conference in California

Well the exhibit hall is free... So if you're in town, and have a day or two
sick-leave stored up, you might want to go...
I'm still unclear if exhibit passes get you into any of the keynotes, but
there will be a (heated) debate with MS sr. VP Craig Mundie and RedHat's
Michael Tiemann...
(http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2001/view/e_sess/1834)

Unless your company will spring for it, i'd skip the PHP seminar.. at $895,
its no cheap vacation... I personally live in the area, and am just going to
the exhibit.. I'd like to talk with those ActiveState and ArsDigita guys..
I'd also like to see what Roadsend.com is doing with their PHP-SiteManager..
(www.roadsend.com). Jabber.com is also going to be there, and (from what i

And don't forget the 'no-no' of requiring javascript for basic

[PHP] Splitting a string first by quotes then spaces

2001-07-09 Thread Aaron Bennett

Ok, heres one for y'all

I have the user entering a free formed string (such as a search engine
query).. and i want to parse that string into an array of string elements...
If the user enters elements within double quotes, that would appear as one
entity.. for each word outside of containing quotes, it would be treated as
a sole entity..

For instance, the query: house shoe "mother goose" story
would return an array with elements:
[0] => house [1] => shoe [2] => mother goose [3] => story
(note element [2] is multiple word...)

I've been playing with explode($delimiter,$array) but if i use a double
quote there, it will want to split anything up to the first instance into a
sincle entity, then on from there...

any ideas?

RE: [PHP] Polls

2001-07-08 Thread Aaron Bennett

Marius,
   2 tables (or more) is definatly the way to approach this... I'd also add
an "answerId" column in the Answer table as well so you can primary key it..
for instance.

CREATE TABLE questions (
 questionId INT NOT NULL,
 date DATETIME,
 question TEXT,
 questionDesc TEXT,
 PRIMARY KEY questionId
) ;

CREATE TABLE answers (
 answerId INT NOT NULL,
 questionId INT NOT NULL,
 answer INT NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY answerId
) ;

all you have to do then is "SELECT answerId,answer FROM answers WHERE
questionId=$phpQuestionId".

and thats about it... the 'answers.answer' column could be another type if
you dont want and int.. I suggest using that rather than an enum just in
case you want 26+ answers to a question... You could use a char or varchar
if you like...  I also didn't include a date column in the answers table
because in the application's sense, they should be tied to the same date..
afterall, how would you design answers for your poll questions dated
differently? Also, you can put in a 'sortOrder' column if you don't want the
answers to be pulled from your db in order of the answerId or likewise.

Keep in mind how you are going to store your response... You will need
another table if you are going to capture it to a database.. You'll also
need to reference the questionId and answerId (or you can do a join with
just the answerId)...

Best of Luck!

RE: [PHP] Sort an array by its values

2001-07-08 Thread Aaron Bennett

Chris,
   Due to the amount of HTML contained within the object, it would be nearly
impossible to decipher from a print_r() the way it was... I was able to make
an assoc. array with the id as the key and score as value, so i get
something more like:

Array ( [29] => 152 [13] => 98 [58] => 134 [6] => 66 [9] => 66 [15] => 68
[18] => 86 [49] => 66 [50] => 104 [51] => 66 [52] => 66 [59] => 100 [61] =>
68 [66] => 68 )

which i should be able to use uasort() and array_reverse() to order them and
maintain the correct index...

Thanks for the help, i think i got it from here.

Do you mean something like www.php.net/ksort or www.php.net/krsort?

I'm not sure of the actual structure of your array, though, so those might
not work as expected.

i think this should work

$color_list = array(); // not sure if you need this
foreach ($myarray as $color) {
  if (!in_array($color,$color_list)) $color_list[] = $color;
}

[PHP] Getting any possible value inside an array

2001-07-07 Thread Aaron Bennett

Hi everyone...

Does someone have a quick and dirty way of returning _any_ possible value
contained within an array?

For instance:

$myarray[0] = "red";
$myarray[1] = "red";
$myarray[2] = "red";
$myarray[3] = "blue";
$myarray[4] = "green";
$myarray[5] = "blue";
$myarray[6] = "red";

and i'd output "red", "blue" and "green", but not have multiple instances of
each.

Thanks in advance!

RE: [PHP] PHP/Apache security question

2001-07-07 Thread Aaron Bennett

Does anyone know if SuExec plays "friendly" with PHP? From my recollection,
when using suexec, it only alters the current UID/GID for scripts executed
by httpd. Does PHP get treated the same way as would say a perl cgi script?

I've looked a little at how phpwebhosting.com does it, and they set each
user to their own unique primary group, and are (i believe) using suexec in
their apache config setting each VirtualHost with their respective user and
group... But does that really 'secure' everyone's code from other equally
privileged users? :-?

of course that's possible... it's not default, but it's very possible

i think it's an apache module called suEXEC
that will run the script with the script owner's name.group,
not apache.apache

Re: [PHP] Using PHP + GD to make bar graphs?

2001-07-05 Thread Aaron Bennett

I've had good success in creating SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) documents
for producing bar/line/pie graphs... The format uses an XML document for its
structure, so producing data from a database connection is very easy and
produces nice results.. More information at:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.htm8

It does require a download of a viewer to embed documents into the
webpage... available from adobe... There is also a SDK for converting SVG
documents to a raster image (PNG, Gif, Jpeg) called Batik, I believe.

I found this to be a little easier than gd, plus a lot more exchangable (due
to its XML nature). Hope this proves to be helpful!

[PHP] PHP code secrity on VirtualHost

Title: PHP code secrity on VirtualHost





Hi everyone,
   Does anyone know the best way to php secure source code for a virtualhost account so it is not group/world readable? I've been looking for a way to get PHP to play with suexec NOT in cgi mode, but nothing has popped up yet.. Anyone have any ideas short of running outside a virtualhost? 

Thanks in advance!

RE: [PHP] SMTP/mail question

2001-06-21 Thread Aaron Bennett
Title: RE: [PHP] SMTP/mail question





Michi,
  Try having your sysadmin add this line to your apache virtualhost entry:
php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -t -i"
(dont forget the '-f' before your email address...)


this sets the sendmail envelope headers to be 'originating' from your address, instead of something like [EMAIL PROTECTED], which inevitably returns bounced emails to root...

Let me know if that works,

no, this header (as well as Sender:) is being overwritten by the ISP's
sendmail!!!
and the recipient would see this header in the mail!!!
I don't want the recipient to see his address in To: nor the Return-Path:
!!!
First I thought this is not possible, but it works great with perl!


any idea???


thanks
michi

RE: [PHP] Apache config + PHP include paths

2001-06-21 Thread Aaron Bennett
Title: RE: [PHP] Apache config + PHP include paths






Shaun, you can also define php_value (but NOT php_admin_value) lines in a .htaccess file rather than in your httpd.conf, assuming you gave (or were given) the appropriate AllowOverride parameters to use .htaccess... Unless you are running your own server or know root, then thats what might be your best (quickest) bet.

the appropriate format would be:
php_value include_path ".:/path/to/includes:/another/path/somewhere/else"


(personally, i use a "." as the first path to check current directory as well.. (covered in the manual as well, i believe)

in your virtualhost definition use:
php_value include_path "new include path"


might be that instead of php_value you have to use php_admin_value, not

this is explained in "Chapter 3. Configuration" of php manual.
