[PHP] Need unrounded precision
Hi, I need to extract the first digit after the decimal point from a number such as 28.56018, which should be '5'. I've tried a few methods to accomplish this. If I use 'ini_set' I would need to know the number of digits before the decimal (which, unfortunately, I would not have access to). Then I've tried: ?php $elapsed = 28.56018; $digit = round($elapsed, 1); // rounds result is '6' $digit = number_format($elapsed, 1); // still rounds result to '6' ? What I need is only the first digit after the decimal -- all the rest could be 'chopped' or discarded but without rounding the first digit after the decimal point. Is there any way of doing this? I'm stumped. Tia, Andre -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Need unrounded precision [RESOLVED]
Thanks Eddie, Actually while waiting for some re[lies, I resolved the problem. I realized that '$elapsed' will always have only two digits before the decimal point. Thus I was able to use 'number_format($elapsed, 2);' and to give me the desired result. Thanks for the quick reply!

[PHP] Rogue 'if - elseif' code
Hi,
I'm having problems with a chunk of 'rogue' code that does not perform as
expected (it does not pass the expected date, but an empty value). Most of
the time, it works - so I'm wondering whether it might be a browser issue.
(The latest failure occurred with Firfeox 3.0 browser on an NT 5.1 OS.) The
code is stored on an Unix server, running PHP 5.x.
I've isolated it down to multiple if - elseif statements that check long dates
for completeness, day month and year. The code then applies it results
printing one of following: the full date - 22 May 2009, month-year - May
2009, or just the year, 2009. My question is whether the ORDER of checking is
important, i.e, whether checking for the null sets BEFORE full sets or AFTER.
I've added debugging code to be able to get the raw POST values so I can
manually enter it into the db, but I would really appreciate some help here.
The code is old -- I wrote it seven years ago, and had worked well until I
modified it, but I no longer have the original working code.
[The first conditional line of the code checks whether the user has entered
the birth date, then it checks for the death date. The $_SESSION stuff is
debugging code.]
?php
$yd = $_POST['death'];
$yb = $_POST['birth'];

[PHP] PHP Warning: session_destroy
Hi,
To stop bots from accessing secured pages, I've added the following code to a
banner page that is called by every page. Furthermore, each page starts with
?php session_start(); ? and includes the banner page:
'top1.php' [banner page]
?php
if((eregi(((Yahoo! Slurp|Yahoo! Slurp China|.NET CLR|Googlebot/2.1|
Gigabot/2.0|Accoona-AI-Agent)),$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])))
{
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == on)
{
session_destroy();
header(Location: http://localhost/logout.php;);
}
}
?
I'm testing on localhost with the browser set to 'Googlebot/2.1' - and the
code works great. Any page that is set for https is not served, and if https
has been set by a previous visit, it goes to http://somepage.
However, checking the live version, I get an secure-error_log entry:
PHP Warning: session_destroy() [a
href='function.session-destroy'function.session-destroy/a]: Trying to
destroy uninitialized session
Question is: didn't the session_start(); on the calling page take effect, or
is this some other problem?
Is there something like 'isset' to check whether 'session_destroy(); is
needed? [I've tried isset, it barfs the code.]

Andre

Following Chris' idea - going from http to https - try this simple technique -
works for me:
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
?php if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != on){
header(Location: https://your_domain/the_page_you_want_at_https;);
exit;}

Saves you having to explicitly set the page for https

[PHP] Getting domain out of a URL
Hi,
I receive posts from an open moderated forum that need to be filtered for
urls. I've successfully managed to trap any entires that use 'http://' 'www.'
with the standard '.com' '.org', '.net' endings.
What I need to do is to strip the prefix part ('http:// or http://www. or
'www') and suffix as well (the .com, etc.) I need only the domain name. I
can't seem to trim away the suffix part.
The code I've tried:
$_POST['request'] = . . The third has it all www.borko.worko.com and
meanders on. Then it stops.;
$check = $_POST['request'];
if (preg_match(@^(?:www.)?([^/]+)@i, $check, $match))
{
$host = $match[1];
(print brdiv class='center'
h4brbrbrURLs are not permitted
brbr
Click 'Back' on your browser and delete all URL references.
/h4brbrbr/div);
/* EXTRA 1: Added to see what's happening */
print h4 style='color:green;'$match[1]/h4brbr;
/* END EXTRA 1 */
$boom = explode(www., $host);
foreach($boom as $key = $host){
$boom[$key] = $host;
}
$booms = implode(www., $boom);
$out = (preg_match('[.com]', $boom[1], $match));
/* EXTRA 2: Added to see what's happening */
echo b style='color:blue;'The BOOM1 SPLIT Domain Name is:/b
{$boom[1]}brbrbr;
echo b style='color:green;'The OUT SPLIT Domain Name is:/b
{$out}brbrbr;
/* EXTRA 2 */
What ouputs:
Extra 1: . . The third has it all www.borko.worko.com and meanders
on. Then it stops.
Extra 2 BOOM1 SPLIT: borko.worko.com and meanders on. Then it stops.
Extra 2 OUT SPLIT: nothing
There's gotta be a better, simpler way of doing this. I want to check for the
string in the POST. If it's there, tag it, and be able to save it, and
re-enter just the domain back into future checks based on the IP address as
well.

Thanks Jay for the function reference, but it doesn't seem like it's what I'm
after since the url is packed into the text.
What i really need is something that will take the first part of an array
cutting the remainder after a delimiter word '.com'.
Something along the lines of:
?php
$boom[1] = ranchy.stuff.com and other junk;
$input = $boom[1];
$out = array_slice($input, 0, 1);
?
Part of my problem, I'm beginning to realize, is that the array '$boom[1]'
contains only one element. Is there a similar string function I could use
that would accomplish what I need?

Thank you Andre! That was spot on - my Windows PHP installation has
register_globalsoff. When I turned it on the error messages
disappeared. Success!
FYI: I found this in the PHP manual:
If your script uses session_register(), it will not work in
environments where the PHP directive register_globals is disabled.
I was using session_register() in one place so perhaps this was the
problem?
PHP manual also says this:
Caution
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered(), and
session_unregister().
Well, I have a few lines like these two:
session_register('email_address');
$_SESSION['email_address'] = $email_address;
If I simply delete the first line
(session_register('email_address');) everything will still work...

Hi Alex,

connected to an IE server on the web, but with Linux as well.)
What I suggest: dump any reference to session_register('email_address'); and
use $_SESSION['email_address']; instead.
My method is to convert all $_POST values from the sending script to $_SESSION
AFTER validating user input:
sending page:
?php session_start(); ?
?php
print form action='receive.php' method='post';
print input type='text' name='email_address' value='Email Address Please';
/* etc, etc . . . */
?
receiving page:
?php session_start(); ?
?php
print form action='receive.php' method='post';
/* Validate user input using standard methods */
$_SESSION['email_address'] = $_POST['email_address'];
/* Then, for ease of wrting it out: */
$email = $_SESSION['email_address'];
/* Lotsa stuff left out here */

Toying around with it last week, I suddenly remembered that often when I manipulated an image in The Gimp, sometimes the image would move slightly off-center or down a shade. If that image was then saved, those changes, minute as they were, would magnify if the image was displayed at increased width. Result = image might shift an inch shift up or down. A rather embarrassing but obvious error, if one knew where to look. . . Re-centering and saving the images solved the problem. Thanks again to all who offered suggestions. A Blessed Christmas to all.

Hi all,
I have faced the upload file permission denied for weeks. I can't
write a new file/create a directory. I did a test in PHP standalone

But in web environment, I got this error message:

I think this is a problem bewteen Apache and PHP. The safe mode of PHP

Re: [PHP] Weird sessions problem

After line 54, the session var has been reset, as expected, to match the current page - but $ref_page has also changed and is now equal to $_SESSION['ref_page'], which is what I found very weird - ie, resetting $_SESSION['ref_page'] simultaneously reset $ref_page. Is $ref_page getting set to what the _previous_ value of $_SESSION['ref_page'] was? If so, it sounds like you have register_globals enabled. No to both. When I arrive at the new page, the sessions vars (as expected) contain the values set by the previous page. $ref_page is not set. The values are transferred to $ref_page by the function. That works as planned. I then reset the value of the session vars, at which point, $ref_page also gets set. From printing out the values after each line, I find this: Let's say we've come from the page /community.php and have arrived at /market.php. Here are the values at each stage: $_SESSION['ref_page] = '/community.php' $_SESSION['ref_pagequery'] = 'pagemode=index' // as an example 53. $ref_page = get_ref_page(); $ref_page['name'] = '/community.php' $ref_page['query'] = 'pagemode=index' $_SESSION['ref_page] = '/community.php' $_SESSION['ref_pagequery'] = 'pagemode=index' 54. $_SESSION['ref_page'] = THIS_PAGE; $ref_page = '/community.php' // now a scalar $_SESSION['ref_page] = '/market.php' register_globals is off (in php.ini and there are no .htaccess files). -- @+ Steve Hi Steve, As a late-comer to this thread, I'd like to toss about a few ideas. I gather that all of the script occurs on one page, and that the page is 'refreshed' by some action of the user (i.e. that the user has clicked/entered login info on some other page, and that this page then needs to detect that change.) What may be happening is that the refresh action triggers the script twice: once for the initial loading and again for the reset values. Hence, $ref_page gets reset by line 53 ($ref_page = get_ref_page(); I experienced the same difficulty once, and essentially solved the problem by adding an extra page that is called, by a simple switch statement, if there is a change: i.e, from 'community' to 'market'. Another question, by any chance, are you switching into https by any chance? Hth, Andre -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Odd Behaviour: DIE function
I've noticed some strange behaviour with respect to validation of user input. Normally, using Linux, the die function in user input validation works as expected. However, the same code in IE, the DIE function does not work as expected. I've noticed that fields, that should die and barf an error message, seem to allow no input. Often, I notice that the user has entered a different spelling as well. I'm puzzled by this (Furthermore, I wasn't aware the user could change the contents of a dropdown select list [I cannot duplicate it in Linux). Since one of the affected fields receives its input from an included file (provcountry.dpn), perhaps this ius an IE issue?? provcountry.dpn tdbCountry nbsp;/b/td tdSELECT NAME=rcountry option selectedChoose from List OPTIONUSA /* list of countries follows */ snippet code in validation page: ?php ... if ($_POST['rcountry'] == Choose from List) die (h5brbrPlease choose your Country from the drop-down listbrbrbrClick 'Back' on your browser to enter this information/h5); ... ?

[PHP] Shifting banner on re-display
Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with pages that re-display using the form
action tag. On re-display the banner, which is set absolute position at 0px,
shifts down by about an inch. I've isolated the cause to the form action
tag.
Simplified code for bad.php page:
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
/* html head style body tags */
form action=bad.php method=post
?php include(banner.php); ?
input type=submit name=submit value=Add Names
/* closing form body html tags */
?php
if($_POST['submit'] == Add Names){
switch ($_SESSION['status']) :
case Member :
header(location: add-names.php);
break;
default :
header(location: join.php);
break;
endswitch;
}
?
Is there a workaround for this problem, or is this a normal occurence?
Any suggestions or pointers would be gratefully appreciated.
Tia,
Andre

Re: [PHP] Shifting banner on re-display
Hi Mark, Tried your idea - no go. Somehow I think the problem may be related to the banner's gif width (set at 101%). I recall when I first made the banner, which has a horizontal rule (a png) above it set at 100%, that the HR caused some problems. Perhaps I should toy more with the combo. Thanks for the suggestion.

It might be off topic since I can't say for sure if this is a php problem. The issue - I have a multi page form. One page seems to throw a wrench in the whole process every time I make a simple modification. Initially I had this setup: tdinput name=skill[] type=text id=skill[]/td select name=sky[] id=sky[] select name=slu[] id=slu[] tdinput name=cert[] type=text id=cert[]/td select name=cky[] id=cky[] select name=clu[] id=clu[] There were 5 rounds of these. Now when I setup the array I only set it up to grab the skill[], sky[], and slu[] And all that works great ! And so basically cert[],cky[],clu[] were just dead elements. Now what I've done is dropped the cert,cky,clu elements and added 5 more sets of the skill, sky and slu. No difference in the sequence of elements in the form. Yet for some unknown reason it throws a curve to the process somehow and basically kills the transaction. I've checked, rechecked the session start and the authentication procedures. Like I say if I put the original one back in all is well. The array does not limit the number of elements. Very strange behaviour. I am not sure what to do.

Remember it's a multi page form: So the form elements are: skills[], skys[], slus[] Then on the next page I have to still pass the session variables, and so: $_SESSION['skills'] = $_POST['skill']; $_SESSION['skys'] = $_POST['sky']; $_SESSION['slus'] = $_POST['slu']; Now the transcation script: $skills = $_SESSION['skills']; $skys = $_SESSION['skys']; $slus = $_SESSION['slus']; foreach($_SESSION['skills'] as $key = $skill) ^^ ^^ [snip] It's my understanding that where I've put ^^ should be enclosed by braces, otherwise you'll get some starnge behaviour.

[PHP] List Etiquette
Hi, After googling 'Web Etiquette, Top Posting', I still am puzzled why some people on this list insist that top posting is bad form, rather than personal preference. The arguments seem to be balanced on either side. Checking the list's archives, I noticed that those who object to top posting almost invariably top-post their objection (perhaps for added emphasis, who knows). Further, after searching the list's archives on the subject, I noted that the archives are organized by latest response = oldest (the original message); that is, the archives, in effect 'top-post' all threads: latest first (on top of the list) and the oldest (at the bottom of the list). Seems to me much easier to scan the Subject, see how it's developing by reading the reply on the top, rather than have to wade through even snipped old material. I've been on this list, on-and-off, for a few years, and somehow I must have missed the discussion on the unwritten rule of bottom-posting. Perhaps someone could enlighten me with a url?

Re: [PHP] List Etiquette
OK, Jason. I'm throughly confused. You say: Top posting means one cannot reply point by point like I'm doing here. then you state: Wouldn't you agree that it's easier to read something point by point whereby you can easily see the context, instead of reading a sentence at the top of the post then scrolling down to find out what that sentence was about in the context of the original post? I suppose each to their own. I'm glad that this list is not as trigger-happy as some I've been on. I still don't see what all the fuss is about . . . but then again, I'm slow. . . .

Re: [PHP] Why won't my echo won't work? [newbie question]
Try using braces around $_POST or any superglobal you use:
print_r($_POST);
print brbr{$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']};
print brbr{$_POST['username']};
Works for me.

How are you setting $_POST['username']? Let's see the code for the

Members in $_POST array are set (mostly) by submitting a form with POST
method, make sure your form is not submitting by GET.
The first echo statement from the OP shows that the request method is

Re: [PHP] Problem with sessions
Hi, Looking at your code, I noticed that either you're missing the closing double quote to close off the Location expression, or you're ending it early with a double quote at http://;. Shouldn't it read: header(Location: http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ^ . dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . '/b.php?'.SID'); ^^ Perhaps that's the problem. I'm no expert . . .

I'm not triffically experienced, but I do have notes on the subject.
You're wanting to clear the whole session, right?
$_SESSION=array();
session_destroy();
For specific variables, try assigning FALSE to it
($_SESSION['name']=FALSE; or 'unset' works for versions =4.2.2.
Otherwise use session_unregister. For me under 4.1.2 I had to set to
null.

Hi,
Thank you for your replies. I am using version 4.3.3 yet unset() doesn't
seem to work. To test this I have placed this line of code in my footer.php
file that appears at the bottom of every page:
echo 'load_orderinfo() = '.load_orderinfo();
Here is the load_orderinfo() function:
function load_orderinfo() {
global $_SESSION;
if (empty($_SESSION[orderinfo])) {
return false;
} else {
return $_SESSION[orderinfo];
}
}
Before the $_SESSION[orderinfo] is created the output in the footer
reads:
load_orderinfo() =
When it has been created it reads:
load_orderinfo() = Object;
On the complete_order.php page where I call the clear_orderinfo() function
it goes back to:
load_orderinfo() =
but it on any subsequent page the output returns to:
load_orderinfo() = Object;
But after calling the clear_orderinfo() function surely the
$_SESSION[orderinfo] should have been destroyed. I hope this makes sense!
Thanks for your help
Shaun,
For what its worth, I experienced probs with destroying sessions until I added
another page. On the page in question, I called the 'logout' function and
redirected to that page:
[logout.php]
?php session_start(); ob_start(); session_destroy();
header(location: http://your_site.back_to_page_that_is not_logged in.php);
?
Note that I used an absolute url -- it seems to make a difference. [Btw, I
note that you use double quotes for $_SESSION['orderinfo'] -- just wondering
. . . .

Re: [PHP] Session Problem PHP version 4.3.8
Hi James,
Well for what it's worth:
Your code in Test1 sets the paraemters -
if(!$_SESSION['start_time']){
echo(\n Session ResetBR);
$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();
yet when Test2 loads, you haven't called $_SESSION[''start_time'} nor, for
that matter, have you 'saved' it using session_write_close();
Therefore when the Test2 loads, time is not set, so when it returns to Test1
and hits the above condition, it will write a new time, and hence a new
session.
I presume two things; 1. that you have ?php session_start(); ? as opener
lines on each page and 2. that register_globals=off. The last thing caused
all sorts of grief for me last week - messes up sessions if 'on'

Re: [PHP] Local version works - production breaks
Thanks for the idea, Josh.
I will do this, but still this hack doesn't answer the question: Why does it
work locally without hitch, yet totally barfs on a very similar configuration
on the net?
As I mentioned, this is a re-write. I've learned my lesson: never try to patch
another's code -- write it fresh! There is simply way too much weird behavior
happening with the present code: sessions not passing, odd error messages
about redeclaration, and conditionals where both are passed.
Time to dump it and start fresh!
Thanks (to everyone) for your help and pointers!

Robby,
I just enabled log_errors locally. No errors (as I thought).
Since I am hacking a previously written site, the problem seems to arise
most
when accessing his pre-built functions across pages. For instance, he
uses
a
'cards.php' to store all display functions -- showleft() -- showcentre()
,
as
well as the connect() function. Since its a persistent connection -- he
opens
the db once, then performs various queries in it. However, since
'cards.php'
has already been called once by a page that might require both showleft()
and
showcentre() -- it barfs and says that it cannot 'redeclare' the
showleft()
function that has already been declared?? That is really some weird --
particularly when it works so well (as expected) locally - and also since
I'm
not 'redeclaring' but calling it for use!
I cannot fathom why the production site would give this error. Perhaps I
need
to do absolute paths for all headers? But it doesn't make sense that a
function cannot be called many times -- declaring it once, yes, but
calling
its use?? If that were the case, then one might as well write it out
longhand
for each use, and forget the concept of 'functions'.
I think I should look at the error logs for the site -- maybe they will
clue
me in where I should look.
Thanks,
Andre

[PHP] Variables not passed to next page
Hi,
I have attempted to post variables from a simple page: edit-news.php to
edit-news-x.php, then load them into a session for re-use -- I use output
buffering. They do not pass. The code:
[edit-news]
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
$news = A few paragraphs;
print input type='text' name='news';
print input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit Changes';
?
[edit-news-x]
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
...
$_SESSION['news'] = $_POST['news']
session_write_close();
...
?
[submit-news]
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
...
print {$_SESSION['news']}; //outputs blank
...
?
Now, I have used similar code on the same development machine for a very
functional postgresql db website with no problems. The only diff is the mysql
db. PHP version: 4.3.0.
This particular development website is exhibiting weird behaviour: sometimes
the code works, no probs, reload, and previously functional code falls apart.
Any clues what I might be overlooking here -- why these variables do not pass?
I'm stumped. (Could it be that both mysql/psql servers are competing against
each other?) Help?
Tia,
Andre

Do you actually have form tags? And with the appropriate method?
$_SESSION['news'] = $_POST['news']
What does print_r($_POST) show?

Hi Jason,
Yes the first page has the appropriate form tags:
{edit-news.php]
form action=edit-news-x.php method=post . . . /form
The second and third pages [edit-news-x.php/ edit-submit.php] are pure php (a
pass-through page) -- I wasn't aware they needed these tags as well. Hmm . .
. that might explain why they weren't passed -- I must be getting old : . .
.
Thanks -- I've stared at these pages way too long. Also, it's not my code, but
I'm patching new stuff into working code - oh ugh!
Thanks,
I'll try adding the tags.

[PHP] Header or includes for one-level up access?
Orginally when I designed my site, I put the db access file, conn.php, in the webarea - where all files reside. After reading a recent thread, I realize that this may not be too secure. Therefore, I would like to shove conn.php one level above the webarea. However, I don't feel like re-writng 300+ files with the new db access info, so I thought a simple re-direct page might do the trick. I've tried three methods: the header approach header(location: ../conn-up.php); an absolute header: header(location: /vhome/conn-up.php); and an include approach: include(../conn-up.php); /* Db file access (conn.php) -- all pages presently refer or call this file */ ?php session_start(); ob_start(); ? ?php /* $db = pg_connect(dbname=big user=me password=pwd); old string */ header(location: /vhome/site/conn-up.php); // tried 3 approaches above ? /* New db access (conn-up.php) - now located one level above webpages */ ?php session_start(); ob_start(); ? ?php $db = pg_connect(dbname=big user=me password=pwd); ? All three approaches will not allow db access. I'm stumped. Is it possible to do this, and will this protect the db password any better than if it stays in the webarea? Any help, guidance, or ideas most welcome. Tia, Andre -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You need to access directly the filesystem in order to include a file. Cannot do it by URL. The third aproach perhaps could work, not sure. But I would test to things (I assume conn.php is on your site root) : 1. Check the user running the web server hsa permisions to read on the directory the file is located. 2. Try an absolute path to the file. Perhaps it will not permit portability, but for test purposes could help. On conn.php you could try: include(/vhome/conn-up.php); If it does not work, problably is a permissions problem. 3. For portability, and when you have been able to include the file as said in point 2. You could do in conn.php something like: $conn_dir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)); // Gives parent dir include($conn_dir . 'conn-up.php'); 4. Could set the path to de directory including the file with set_include_path(); and then include just by name: $mypath = get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . /vhome; set_include_path($mypath); Hope this can help to investigate a bit more on your problem. Regards, Jordi Hi Jordi, Thanks for the advice!

Re: [PHP] Re: Sort a text string by last word before separator
Thanks Torben,
I've been messing about with code all afternoon, and my mind is blitzed.
Didn't think it was possible since there was no way I could access the first
name part (after I accessed the surname) since it had no delimiter except
spaces. Managed to get the surname in a sorted array, but couldn't manage to
merge the first names.
I'll try this code -- hope it works, and get back to you!

There are few different ways. Here's one:

test, check out http://www.thebuttlesschaps.com/sortByLast.html (there is

This code returns the names in the format in which they are given. You
can speed it up a bit by having it return the names in 'lastname,

$names[$name[0]] = join(', ', $tmp);
to
$names[$i] = join(', ', $tmp);
and remove the lines:
asort($names);
$names = array_keys($names);
I'm really confused. I've read almost every entry on arrays/strings and
searched code snippets. Almost all focus on one element arrays such
apple, orange, peach rather than 2 or more elements such as fancy
cars, big trucks, fast dangerous motorcycles,
Is it even possible to accomplish this type sort on a string?
Any advice, pointers, or help will be greatly appreciated,

Hopefully the code above will give you some aid--and you can probably
improve on that regexp in preg_match_all(). The other 2 ways on the site
have totally different methods, and different strengths and weaknesses.
Maybe you can turn one of them into something useful to you.
Hope this helps,

[PHP] Sorting a large text string alphabetically
I'm trying to sort alphabetically a large text string filled with first and
last names separated by ,That would seem to be a simple task, but
sort($txt) does not seem to work even when $txt is an array.
The code :
?php
$OK= Joe Blow, Sam Hill, Henry Forget, etc, etc;
$_SESSION['txt'] = $OK;
session_write_close();
$txt = $_SESSION['txt'];
$names = explode(, , $txt);
foreach($names as $key = $names){
sort($names); //line 235
reset($names); // line 236
while (list($key, $val) = each($names)) { //line 237
}
}
$sorted = implode(, , $names);
return($sorted);
?
I assumed this would work, but I get error messages (for every value in the
txt array) stating that '$txt' is not an array -- even though it shows up as
Array(Joe Blow, Sam Hill, Henry Forget, etc, etc). I'm totally confused here.
As you may gather, arrays are not one of my 'strong' points :
Warning: sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in
/var/www/html/list.php on line 235
Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object

Hi folks! I need a function that will examine input for lowercase words. In the processing of that input, I would like to eliminate them (so as to keep all uppercase words).

Hi,
Recently, a 'user' attempted to access a restricted area of my site
repetitively (spanning five hours) entering the same url repetitively
[probably by script]. A massive log file was generated. I would like to ban
such behavior by limiting the number of successive 'get's a user can do (say

As a temporary measure (until I can figure a better way) the url in question
was disabled.

ipaddress perhaps with a counter that records the number of times that file
was accessed, and limit the number of successive 'get's that can be done
before the file is no longer accessible.
In a script that checks for bad words, I have used:
?php
if ($_SESSION['text'] = badwords){
$_SESSION['attempt'] = 1;
header(location: unwanted.php);
}
[In the file unwanted.php I checked for $_SESSION['attempt'] = 1 and booted if
the condition was met]
However, using this approach I cannot augment this number without resorting to
a file get/put schema. Is there a way around this? Is there a better
approach?
I've tried .htaccess but the user in question has a dynamic address.
Any help appreciated.

that could work but the user may now submit one or more apostrophes
as the Last Name.
Watch out for magic_quotes. If O'Reilly is submitted, unless you
stripslash() it, you're validating against O\'Relly.

[PHP] Eliminating space between HR and Image
Hi,
I've added an animated gif in the banner area of my site, and just above it,
a horizontal rule to give added emphasis. The problem is, no matter what I
do, I cannot get rid of an extra space that appears between the two. Is this
a natural function? Is there some way of eliminating the space?
The code:
?php
. . . .
div class=banner
hr align=left size=8 width=1000 style=background: #9a3e2b;
img src=icr.gif height=100 width=1000
/div
. . .
?
CSS code:
div.banner {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 1%;
}
I will be grateful for any ideas or advice on how to fix this.
Tia,
Andre

Re: [PHP] Re: Eliminating space between HR and Image
Thanks Michiel,
After sending the message, I realized that it was an html question -- I've
been so absorbed with coding, it all looks the same after a while. My
apologies to the list.
Thanks for the suggestion. I think it'll work. Otherwise, I'll leave it as
is. Thanks for taking the trouble to answer.
Reagrds and blessings,

Re: [PHP] strange behaviour with login page
Hi Steve, Just out of curiosity, when you mention implement a user authentication process where users can click on an external link to my site are you using the https protocol? I had similar bizarre behavior with IE using a Confirmation Required' script. Worked great at home (localhost), with apache, linux, et al, but with IE sometimes it worked, most often not. I finally traced the route of my problem to the https protocol. I found this quite by mistake -- AOL, Hotmail, and Yahoo users were not being redirected to my site. Almost exactly the same problem occurred as you describe: if I clicked the link twice, it sometimes worked. (Btw, I lost a lot of registrants because of this problem. I finally dumped the whole thing, and now, users once registered, go immediately to specified areas of the site. Apparently, with AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail users the https protocol is 'optional' or 'premium' or somesuch idiocy!) If you do find the root of your problem, would you be so kind as to drop me an email with your resolution -- I'd like to get my little script to work. Hth, Andre On Sunday 09 March 2003 06:18 pm, you wrote: I have seen this as well. Try using netscape or an earlier version of IE and you will probably find it will work without issue. I posted about this many moons ago and unfortunately didn't get a solution. I can't recall the specifics of when it was doing it (and if I remember correctly, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't - in the context of a members area where sessions are used - some pages worked, others didn't - same sessions method), but on some servers, we had no issues (exactly the same versions of linux, php etc) and others this happens. There must have been some sort of variation at our end, but we couldn't see it. We upgraded to PHP Version 4.2.3, and this fixed it. Sorry I can't give you any more info. At the time I was having the problem, I was under a tight schedule and didn't have time to track down possible causes. As I said, the upgrade helped us (also fixed a few mysql query caching problems we were having too - caused a few GD ones though). My guess is that its some sort of cookies problem with windows IE 6 (as that was the only browser I saw the problem on). Best Regards Bob Irwin Server Admin Web Programmer Planet Netcom If anyone has come across a similar problem to the one described below, and has a solution I'd be really grateful if you can help me out. I'm trying to implement a user authentication process where users can click on an external link to my site. If they're not logged in they get presented with a login dialog. Once they log in they're redirected onwards to the page they initially wanted to visit. The system I have in place at the moment handles authentication using sessions. The bizarre thing is, while everything seems to work on my home pc (windows iis web server, php 4.2.1), on the host server (linux, apache, php 4.1.2) I get the login screen twice before I get redirected. My hunch is that it's something to do with when session variable become available after registering them. (I'm using the sesssion management functions built in to php 4).

Re: [PHP] Tryng To Prevent Caching on IE 5-6.0
Hi Kurst,
I don't know whether what I'm about to pass on will be of any help, or close
to solving your problem, but perhaps the idea might lead you somewhere.
I was faced with a problem: As my index page loaded, I had to test to see
whether 'cookies' were enabled, without resorting to javascript. The reason I
had to check: without cookies, sessions wouldn't work properly. The user
would not be aware of anything amiss, until he accessed something from the db
-- then all forms were messed up.
The solution I hit upon was to create a test schema that relied on two
additional 'pages' been called. On the 'index' page, the main one I wanted
displayed, (and the one called for by url), has a simple script at the
beginning. I have found that the 'index' page is not cached since it must be
processed through this two-page filter on every encounter with the url --
else it is re-directed. Maybe it will work for you, or you could adapt it to
your needs?? (I'm only a one-year 'php-veteran from the trenches' :)
Code follows:
Index page:
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
?php
if ($_SESSION['test'] == ) {
$_SESSION['test'] = 1;
header(location: index-load.php);
}
?
Index-load page:
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
?php
if ($_SESSION['test'] == 1) {
$_SESSION['test'] = 1;
session_write_close();
header(location: index.php);
}
else {
header(location: index-message.php);
}
?
Index-message page:
?php session_start(); ob_start(); ?
?php
switch ($_SESSION['test']):
case 1:
header(location: index.php)
break;
case
$_SESSION['test'] = 1;
/* you can put whatever message, commands in here */
break;
endswitch;
?

It's a very good suggestion and I thank you for it but IE is still caching
the data :(.
For those people who are wondering -
I used almost ever variation of that cache control in the header
That includes:
The cache-control as the only command, added to my huge cache-control
statement, and put on it's own line.
Anybody else have any suggestions or different ways?
Thanks for the advice :)

[PHP] Printing an image - insights needed!
Hi, I have a very annoying little problem that someone might have an insight as to its cause. The opening page on my site has two small jpeg pixs (3.9KB) that display properly for any user. I have another page, with exactly the same code, and same jpeg pixs that displays properly as well. ?php . . . . /* Opening page graphic */ print aimg src='does_not_print_but_displays.jpeg' width='100' height='120' alt='What Gives?'/a; ? ** ?php . . . . /* Second page graphic - not linked to Opening page */ print aimg src='prints_and_displays_nicely.jpeg' width='100' height='120' alt='Prints nicely'/a; ? However, when I want to print a copy of these pages, while on the web, the first one (the opening page) does not print the jpeg pixs, whereas the second page does. The only difference I can see between the two is that the second page has img src and alt in caps (but that shouldn't make any difference). I've tried Opera, Konqueror, Galeon, and Mozilla with the same effect. Even tried changing to .jpg but no difference. Any ideas what might be messing up the print function? Btw, in Konqueror it displays an empty white box, while in Opera no box at all. Any ideas, suggestions, or where to look would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.

[PHP] IE 'Back' Button problem + SELECT dropdowns
Hi, I've managed to get Windows IE to pick up on most of my $_SESSION variables once a user clicks the 'Back' button using the following code in the base form: 'value=?php if(!empty($_SESSION['rfname'])) echo $_SESSION['rfname']; ?' However, when I try this approach for a muliple SELECT dropdown box that is loaded by a 'require' statement, it doesn't pass the info. I've tried to isolate the individual components: ?php require(dobdod.fdd); if(!empty($_PST['bday'])) echo $_POST['bday']; if(!empty($_POST['bmonth'])) echo $_POST['bmonth']; if(!empty($_POST['birth'])) echo $_POST['birth']; if(!empty($_POST['dday'])) echo $_POST['dday']; if(!empty($_POST['dmonth'])) echo $_POST['dmonth']; if(!empty($_POST['death'])) echo $_POST['death']; ? Btw, the base form calls another form, which displays an error message. Once the 'Back' button is clicked, the base form reappears. [I've also tried putting a ?php . . . ? around each if(!empty . . .); statement above with same result.] Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've been at this one for a couple of weeks, and nothing seems top work. Is it possible to pass the info back to the base form?

SELECT boxes work differently from text boxes. To set a select box to a
certain value, you need to put SELECTED into the option tag, like:
option value=some_value SELECTEDText Value/option
So, you need to create some loop or test to see where you should put the
SELECTED. For short lists, doing something like:
option value=some_value ? if(isset($_SESSION['select'])
$_SESSION['select'] == 'some_value') { echo SELECTED; }?Text
Value/option
For larger lists, it's easier to put the values into an array and make a
function that loops through and test each value for where to put the
SELECTED text.
Hope that helps.

Thanks John,
Great to get your excellent advice again. I've been off-list for a few months.
Never thought of doing the extra coding IN the require file! That's probably
why it didn't work.
I tried to pick up the values from $_POST (as above). In Linux, it works:
(i.e. I can pick them up, display them, and manipulate them using the code
above), but in IE something like $_POST['bday'] never shows up. Any idea why
there's such a difference between OS behavior?

[PHP] SELECT with WHILE NOT

get the syntax to work.

SELECT * FROM rap WHERE NOT rsponsor = '{$_SESSION['sid']}' ORDER by
rsname,rfname,rcountry,rcity DESC LIMIT 20;
What I get is all the records including those with '{$_SESSION['sid']}' .
How can I accomplish an exclusion in a table-wide search?

[PHP] Updating int4 field with multiple values
I would like to update an int4 column with new values appended to the end
(preferably with a delimiter such as @ or a comma).
With PostgreSQl 7.2, I can't seem to add the number with a delimiter (it
gives me a parser error at the delimiter). For example, If I update the field
'radd' that already has number 36 in it, it does append the new number, but
without any space. So, if I updated with a new number, 6, the 'radd' result
would now be '366' instead of '36 6'
Without the delimiter, it might be difficult to do selects on this field when
I need to find a specific number within the field. (Btw, I'm using
$_SESSION['rid'] . . . etc instead of $rid in the actual code.) Any ideas
what I'm doing wrong?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
**
Simplified code:
/php
. . .
/* for simplicity set $new= 6 $new is int4 */
$new = 6;
include(dbc.php);
$query = UPDATE rap SET radd = radd||', $new' WHERE rid = '12';
$result = pg_exec($db, $query);
if (!$result) {print What? Can't do what you're asking me!;}
if ($result) {print Record updated;}
pg_close($db);
. . .
