[PHP] newbie question about code
I'm looking at someone's code to learn and I'm relatively new to programming. In the code I see commands like: $code-do_command(); I'm not really sure what that means. How would that look in procedural style programming? do_command($code); or something else? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] stripping first comma off and everything after

In a cursory glance, I've noticed the following code:

You are using a literal '\r' in your str_replace() function. This
should instead be replaced with double quotes to translate the \r to
its appropriate EOL character:
htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace(\r,'',$_POST[problem])))
Thanks, I didn't know that single vs double quotes in that instance made
a difference. I've made the change to my code.

[PHP] how to determine if a mysql query returns an empty set?
Is there a way to determine if a mysql query returns an empty set? I am
selecting 10 results at a time with a limit statement and need to know
when i've ran out of rows. I've only got 2 rows in the database, so
when I start with row 10, it returns an empty set. I have the following
code:
//running this query gives Empty set (0.00 sec) in mysql console.
$get_requests = select form_id, full_name, email, phone, division,
location, date_format(time_of_request, '%m-%d-%Y %r') as
time_of_request, contact_time, problem, accepted_by,
date_format(accepted_time, '%m-%d-%Y %r') as accepted_time, resolution,
date_format(resolution_time, '%m-%d-%Y %r') as resolution_time from form
where ((stage = 'Closed') (email = 'awilliam' )) order by
resolution_time limit 10 , 10
//checks to see if it returns nothing, then print that you are at the
end of the results
if (!$mysqli_get_requests =
mysqli_query($mysqli,$get_requests))
{
echo You have reached the end of the results.
Please press the back button.
form action=/helpdesk/login.php method=postinput
type=submit value=Back

but that doesn't work, because I guess an empty set is not false, 0, or
NULL?

[PHP] header() and passing sessions
I need some help passing a session variable with a header() function.
According to www.php.net/header, the documentation states:
*Note*: Session ID is not passed with Location header even if
session.use_trans_sid
session.configuration.php#ini.session.use-trans-sid is enabled. It
must by passed manually using *SID* constant.
so, I'm trying to manually pass the SID, but not having any luck. Here
is a snippet of my code:
There is a file login.php which has session_start(); and sets
$_SESSION[username] with the username you logged in with from
index.php and has a form to click View Pending Requests which has the
action of option.php.
-- option.php --
?php
session_start();
if ($_POST[option] == View Pending Requests)
{
header('Location:
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.session_id());
}
?
--viewpending.php --
?php
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION[username])
{
echo You have not logged in;
exit;
}
?
so you click on View Pending Requests, and the URL in your browser is:
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID=du75p41hel9k1vpuah799l2ce7
but viewpending.php says You have not logged in. Why is that?
Re: [PHP] header() and passing sessions
abdulazeez alugo wrote:
Hi,
Well I'ld say the reason is quite obvious. You have simply not set

{
$_session[username]= true; //sets the session

Well the thing is, $_SESSION[username] is set. If I change option.php to:
?php
session_start();
echo session username is .$_SESSION[username];
/*if ($_POST[option] == View Pending Requests)
{
header('Location:

j...@mdah.state.ms.usstaff hits enter

b...@mdah.state.ms.us
ci...@mdah.state.ms.usjoe@mdah.state.ms.us
sa...@mdah.state.ms.us
because the staff didn't hit enter on the last line. Is there a way to
read each line of input and add a carriage return if needed? I tried
the code below but it did not work, nothing happened, and i don't know
to examine each line to see if it ends in \r\n either.

Because I'm inserting it into MySQL as a date conversion from American

something like this:

If you enter it in that format MySQL will get it right without regard

I hope that you are sanitizing the rest of the input as well, and not
just shoving unchecked POST data into a database. Your example is a
SQL injection attack waiting to be exploited.

I'm running mysql_real_escape_string(); on all of the variables prior to
inserting/updating them.
I don't see the point in needing to convert it to a timestamp. The
length_start and length_end fields in MySQL are defined as date fields.
All I care about is the date, not the hours/minutes/seconds. If I
insert it as date('Y-m-d', $length_start) then when I SELECT it back
out, I will still have to do a date conversion back to MM-DD- when I
display it to the user.

[PHP] handling ' with mysql/php insert and select
In my form, I am parsing all the text inputs through mysql_real_escape_string() before inserting the data. however, when I look at the SQL query in PHP, when I type the word blah's to my text box variable, and then insert it into mysql after being ran through mysql_real_escape_string(), it does: insert into contract (contract_id, responsibility) VALUES (15, 'blah\\\'s') and when I query the in mysql/PHP it shows: select responsibility from contract where contract_id = 15; ++ | responsibility | ++ | blah\'s| ++ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) and when I run that select statement in PHP it prints blah\'s on the screen. I want it to print back blah's without the \.

[PHP] how to handle inserting special characters into a mysql field
I'm going to be inserting data from a PHP form into a mysql field. The data could contain special characters like ' \ /, etc. How do I handle that? just $data = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($data)); before the insert query? because later on the data will be read back from the mysql db and I don't want it to contain a special character that would break the PHP script. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] how to handle inserting special characters into a mysql field
Thanks for all the replies everyone. I have a question on mysql_real_escape_string(). The PHP example page shows: $query = sprintf(SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s', mysql_real_escape_string($user), mysql_real_escape_string($password)); and I understand it uses the %s because of sprintf(), to indicate the data is a string. However, thats not syntax I'm used to seeing. If I rewrite the code to the following below, will it return the same results or error when queried? $user = mysql_real_escape_string($user); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password) $query = SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='$user' AND password='$password'; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] parsing text for special characters
I've got an html form, and I have PHP parse the message variables for
special characters so when I concatenate all off the message variables
together, if a person has put in a ' or other special character, it
won't break it when it used in mail($to, MMH Suggestion, $message,
$headers); below is my snippet of code, but is there a better way to
parse the text for special characters. what about if I were to have the
$message inserted into a mysql field? how would I need to handle
special characters that way?
$need_message = $_POST['need_message'];
function flash_encode($need_message)
{
$string = rawurlencode(utf8_encode($need_message));
$string = str_replace(%C2%96, -, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%91, %27, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%92, %27, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%82, %27, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%93, %22, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%94, %22, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%84, %22, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%8B, %C2%AB, $need_message);
$string = str_replace(%C2%9B, %C2%BB, $need_message);
return $need_message;
}
//and then there are $topic_message, $fee_message, etc and they all get
concatenated with
$message .= needs_message;
$message .= $topics_message;
$message .= $fee message;
//emails the $message

Turn notices on. You will then get lots of notices about the use of an
undefined constant option.
You should be using $_POST['option'] instead - notice the quotes.
Your HTML should really have double quotes around the attributes but
that's beyond the scope of this list.
He's still going to get an invalid argument warning though since PHP
will automatically convert the unquoted key to a string and then look up
the value. The problem is that the value doesn't exist or is not an
array as expected.
Cheers,
Rob.
Yeah, thats the problem I'm having for some reason. When I do:
print_r($_POST['option']);
it prints nothing.

[PHP] echo'ing a variable and cat'ing text
I have a file called userlist. I'm trying to read the file, and then
echo their name and add @mdah.state.ms.us with it. In the file
userlist, it looks like:
userabc
userdef
userxyz
and I have the following code:
?php
$filename = userlist;
$fp = fopen($filename, r) or die (Couldn't open $filename);
if ($fp)
{
while (!feof($fp))
{
$thedata = fgets($fp);
if ($thedata != )
{
echo $thedata.@mdah.state.ms.us;
}
}
fclose($fp);
}
?
But when I run it, I get:
@mdah.state.ms.ususerabc
@mdah.state.ms.ususerdef
@mdah.state.ms.ususerxyz
and I am expecting to get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

So can someone look at my code and let me know why I'm not getting my

[PHP] grabbing source of a URL
Hi, I don't know what functions to use so maybe someone can help me out. I want to grab a URL's source (all the code from a link) and then cut out a block of text from it, throw it away, and then show the page. For example, if I have page.html with 3 lines: htmlheadtitlehi/title/head body !-- line a -- this is line a !-- end line a -- !-- line b -- this is line b !-- end line b -- !-- line c -- this is line c !-- end line c -- /body/html i want my php script to grab the source of page.html, strip out: !-- line a -- this is line a !-- end line a -- and then display what is left, how would I go about doing this? I don't know what function to use to grab the page. for the string to remove, I know I can probably do a str_replace and replace the known code with nothing. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Anyway, how can I strip out all of the text between the last / and the ? and insert it into another variable?

[PHP] single dimensional array questions
Here is my snippet of code. It takes cardnum from the database, removes
the duplicates for each individual date, and then counts how many discrete
numbers there was.
!-- snippet of code starts here --
//database connect and selection here, now my sql statement:
$sql = select convert( varchar,eventime, 110) as date, cardnum from events,
badge where eventtype=0 and devid=1 and events.cardnum=badge.id and badge.type
= 1 and convert(varchar,eventime,110) between '$startdate' and '$enddate'
group by events.eventime, events.cardnum order by
convert(varchar,eventime,110), cardnum;
$query = mssql_query($sql);
while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
$array[$row['date']][] = $row['cardnum'];
}
$i = 0;
$j = 0;
foreach ( $array as $key = $value)
{
echo 'date: '. $key . ', count: ' . count(array_unique($value));
echo br;
$i += count(array_unique($value));
$j++;
}
$query = mssql_query($sql);
while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
$array[$row['date']][] = $row['cardnum'];
}
$i = 0;
$j = 0;
foreach ( $array as $key = $value)
{
echo 'date: '. $key . ', count: ' . count(array_unique($value));
echo br;
$i += count(array_unique($value));
$j++;
}
echo total = $ibr;
echo average = .round(($i/$j),1);
!-- end of code --
And now my question. What I need to do is create a single
dimensional array that contains each number that
count(array_unique($value)) is counting. how would I do this? I can't
use the SQL query because I have to remove duplicate cardnums for each
date.
I was thinking of doing:
$patrons = array();
//inside of the foreach have this:
$patrons[] = array_unique($value);
but that doesn't seem to work. because when I print_r($patrons) its
creating an array of arrays of an array. here is from july 1 to july 7th.

note that there is no july 4th and 5th because we were closed those days.
what I want to do is is say after I add the first array of dates into

and when I add the next day and it was 8 cardnums, it would be
$patrons[10] through $patrons[17]. but instead its creating
$patrons[0][0] through patrons[0][9] and next day is $patrons[1][0]
through $patrons[1][7]. atleast thats
[PHP] opposite of array_unique()?
array_unique() removes duplicate values from an array. Is there an opposite function or way of keeping all values in a single dimentional array that are duplicates and removing all that are duplicates? for example if I have an array: array( [0] = 'dog', [1] = 'cat', [2] = 'rabbit', [3] = 'cat') how do I make it just have array ( [0] = 'cat' )? i want to drop the non-duplicates and trim the array to only have one of the duplicates? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Use this instead of a reg exp for such a simple task, it's quicker and
will cope with the whole array in one command.

[PHP] explode()
I am having a user enter a phrase into a textbox, and then I need to
seperate the words he has typed into variables so I can use each one
in an sql statement. I know I will use the explode() function to do this,

user types in 3 words seperated by spaces, how will I know i'll have
var[0] through var[2]? how about when they type in 2 words or 4 words?
How will I know how many words they have typed in? The only way I can
think of to do this is:
// $var is the input after being ran through explode()
$i = 0;
while ($var[$i])
{
$i++;
}
I will then take the data they enter and create the sql statement:
$j = 0;
$sql = select subject from subfile where;
while ($j = $i)
{
$j++;
$sql .= suject matches '*$var[$j]*';
if ( $j != $i)
{
$sql .= and ;
}
}

[PHP] sql query/displaying results question
I have a php page I am writing with an SQL query. I am going to query the database for a couple of fields. One of the fields I am querying is the title oh the document someone is searching for. The title will be used at the top of the html page and will say: you are searching for document number ###: document $title but then later on down on the page when it starts returning your results: document $title: document $location So I will have 1 query that needs to print the document $title at the top of the page and then when it starts showing results. I won't know what the document title is until the database is queried (because they are doing a query for keywords in the documents stored in that table in the database). So at the top of the page can I use my $title from the database and then when I start showing the results, can I show the same document $title from the 1st row returned if I am using a while loop, or because I already used $title at the top from the 1st row returned, will it want to start at the 2nd row returned when I start my while loop to return all of the data?

[PHP] allowing access to php page by IP
Hello,
I want to allow access to a php page but am not sure how I should verify

certain webpage and keep everyone else out. I have written code to figure
out what someone's IP is, but am not sure about how I should verify
whether the IP is in the range of 10.8.4.* or 10.8.5.*. Any suggestions?
I was thinking of either using a regex (but I dunno regex so I'd have to
learn it) to stip off the .* octect and then compare the rest of the IP
and see if its either 10.8.4 or 10.8.5, or create a for loop and loop
through 1-254 and cat it to the end of 10.8.4. and 10.8.5. and compare it
to the IP they are coming from. Any suggestions on how I should do it?
Here is the code I have to get the IP:
if (getenv(HTTP_CLIENT_IP))
{
$ip = getenv(HTTP_CLIENT_IP);
}
elseif (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR))
{
$ip = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);
}
elseif (getenv(REMOTE_ADDR))
{
$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
}
else $ip = UNKNOWN;

Unfortunately not. I'm putting PHP on a windows 95 computer and the person will put a cdrom into the cd drive. Then they will double click on a shortcut that will run the php executable with script, and the script will read the cd label. depending on what the cd label is, it will call the correct .exe file on it to load the application.

Re: [PHP] How I Got PHP4.2.2, Apache 2.0, mySQL and RedHat 8.0 towork
Not to burst your bubble, but I'have had all of this working since the day RedHat 8.0 was released. Though I compiled everything by hand instead of using RedHat's RPMs. Just read the comments on php.net under the apache/unix install and did what they said to add to httpd.conf for PHP. Adam On Mon, 18 Nov 2002, Daevid Vincent wrote: Well, it seems there are some glitches with and snags and other fun stuff to deal with when doing a straight RedHat 8.0 install. It turns out you have to edit your /etc/php.ini and uncomment out the extension=mysql.so line for starters. It also helps to set short_open_tag = On. Another fun thing to contend with is the fact that register_globals is now off by default, s, read this page: http://www.zend.com/zend/art/art-sweat4.php to see how to get around this (without turning RG on of course). I have some sites that use .php and some that use .phtml and you'd think it would be as simple as modifying /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, dupe the entry and change the extension. Wrong. What I did was change it to: FilesMatch \.(php|phtml|phps|php4|php3)$ SetOutputFilter PHP SetInputFilter PHP LimitRequestBody 524288 /FilesMatch DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml I use virtual hosts but none use SSL currently, and haven't figured that part out with the SSL.conf so I just renamed it to ssl.conf.disabled and created a virtual-hosts.conf that looks like this: VirtualHost * DocumentRoot /home/foo/public_html ServerName foo.com ServerAlias ww.foo.com *.foo.* ErrorLog logs/foo-error_log CustomLog logs/foo-access_log common /VirtualHost And at the end of the httpd.conf file you have to turn VH on by uncommenting NameVirtualHost * And I also added this at the bottom to catch all that don't match with an entry in my virtual-hosts.conf file above: VirtualHost * ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName localhost ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/error_log CustomLog /etc/httpd/logs/access_log common /VirtualHost I also went ahead and installed mySQL-MAX, so you need to create a /etc/my.cnf file and put something like: [mysqld] # You can write your other MySQL server options here # ... innodb_data_home_dir= # Data file(s) must be able to # hold your data and indexes. # Make sure you have enough # free disk space. innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend # Set buffer pool size to # 50 - 80 % of your computer's # memory set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=70M set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=10M # Set the log file size to about # 25 % of the buffer pool size set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=20M set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M # Set ..flush_log_at_trx_commit # to 0 if you can afford losing # some last transactions innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50 #innodb_flush_method=fdatasync #set-variable = innodb_thread_concurrency=5 skip-locking set-variable = max_connections=200 #set-variable = read_buffer_size=1M set-variable = sort_buffer=1M # Set key_buffer to 5 - 50% # of your RAM depending on how # much you use MyISAM tables, but # keep key_buffer + InnoDB # buffer pool size 80% of # your RAM set-variable = key_buffer=10M Somehow the pretty /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql script has changed (probably due to mysqlMax) I like the old one with the green [ OK ] messages like everything else there and I'm not sure how to get it back :( but it works for now and I have innoDB tables, so I can't complain too much. Hope this helps someone and saves them the nearly 7 hours I've spent today getting it all working.

Also is this a big security risk as I will be echoing the 2nd variable as the contents of a form field. Would it be possible for someone to type in the URL with HTML/php in it that would make a mess of everything? How can I protect against this? Would it be sufficient to just pase the 2nd variable for non alphabetic characters and remove them? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
