[PHP] solution
I figured it out, not what i'd wanted it to be, but it works, if anyone
can improve upon it, please let me know.
?php
function array_key_replace($foo,$original,$replacement,$replacement_value) {
$bar=array();
foreach($foo as $key=$value) {
if ($key==$original) {
$bar[$replacement]=$replacement_value;
}
else $bar[$key]=$value;
}
return $bar;
}
$foo=array(color=blue,fruit=apple,foo=bar);
$foo=array_key_replace($foo,fruit,car,pinto);
?
Enjoy! ;)

I can't seem to figure out how to use array_splice to replace an element
while retaining the key... instead it replaces the key with 0
for example...
$foo=array(color=blue,fruit=apple,foo=bar);
array_splace($foo,1,1,array(car=pinto));
yields...
Array
(
[color] = blue
[0] = pinto
[foo] = bar
)
instead of
Array
(
[color] = blue
[car] = pinto
[foo] = bar
)
...
Is there a quick and dirty way to do this? or does it require chopping
the array up into to parts and merging them back together again.

Thanks in advance Mohamed checkboxes are like any other input, yo ugive them a name and optionally a value, and if they are selected when the form is sent then the variable is set (usually to on) or given the value that you assign it. For example: input type=checkbox name=foo value=bar would yield $_REQUEST['foo']==bar in the script. Checkboxes can also use arrays, which usually prove to be more useful. i.e. input type=checkbox name=foo[apple] and input type=checkbox name=foo[banana] Anyways, to display it in HTML it's ?=$_REQUEST['foo']? or echo $_REQUEST['foo']; depending on how you do things.

Is there not a GROUP BY clause in MS SQL? I'm pretty sure there is. If
you group the query by company name then you don't have to worry about
duplicate company names... and it will help with performance, since the
db is optimized for that and you don't have to waste PHP to determine if
the row is a duplicate.

I know my questions sometimes are probably more annoying than anything else, but your input really does help. Anyway, I have a stack of 76 playlists I need to consolidate and display. These are from radio shows, so each playlist has the date, the name of the radio show, and anywhere from 20 - 27 tracks, artists, and albums on them. I know I could simply stick these into a MySQL database using fields like, date, show, track1, artist1, album1, track2, artist2, album2, etc. but would that really be efficient and would I be able to use PHP effectively to retrieve all that information and display it correctly? Has anyone out there done a similar project? If so, what was your approach? Thanks in advance, Jason Soza Using MySQL or any database for that matter will be most efficient, however, they way you lay it out may not be. You'd want to store tracks individually which would have columns associated with it for example, Artist, title, album, show date, and most importantly the playlist it is associated with. You could have a seperate table for information specific to the playlist, so you don't have to repeat information when you insert songs into the track table, but isn't necessary as long as you maintain some consistency. If you want to get really fancy, then you could have at least 3 tables like the following... A songs table with title, author, album, song_id, where each song title and author combination are unique and only occur once. A playlist table which stores the song_id in the order that is played and the playlist_id, the date of the show and the show_id that the playlist is associated with. and a Show table which stores information specific to the show. with three tabels you will minimize the amount of information that is repeated, since you'd only need to insert a particular song once, and build playlists from that list of songs. The other less sexy option is to use flatfiles. Which wouldn't be pretty straight forward. Just right some information about the playlist at the beginning of the file in a consistent manner and fill it with song titles, one on each line. I think you are on the right track with MySQL though, you just need to break it down to at least more than one table since having 20+ columns that store song names is rather ineeficient.

A possible middle-ground (for text at least) if you want it to be searchable is to maintain both flatfile and mysql records. Keep the flatfiels as text, untouched, but index the file and store the index information in MySQL. And what i mean by indexing it is each entry into the database is one word only, with information about the word like the file it's associated with.

Yeah, you can download and install it within your home directory and call it from there. As far as permissions go, chmod a+x curl should do it. Jonathan Rosenberg wrote: AHhh ... got it.

Accessible from the command line at, for example, /usr/local/bin/curl With PHP you can execute commands via the command line via system(), exec() or via the backtick (for example $output=`/usr/local/bin/curl request`;) operator. You also might be able to load the extension via dl() and compile it on your own, but i wouldn't recommend that. First try the command line option, then ask your ISP to install then extension.

[PHP] Re: Sorting, sort of
Jason Soza wrote: I have a 'name' field in a MySQL table that contains people's first and last names, i.e. John Smith - but some people may choose not to include their last name, so they're just John in the table, or they may choose to include themselves and someone else, but not the last name, John and Jane. I'm thinking the easiest way to sort by last name, which is what I want to do, is to just go into MySQL and make 'first_name' and 'last_name' fields, but if there's a way to do this with PHP that'd be great, so then I wouldn't have to mess with the table and data. Anyhow, I've looked up sort() and asort() in the PHP manual, but I'm not sure how I'd go about this. I assume I'd use some kind of function to read the 'name' field to the first space, take what it finds after the space and put it into an array, then have some if/else statement to deal with the lack of a space or the presence of multiple spaces, then use sort() on that array. Just looking for some guidance, maybe a specific function or bit of code. Anything that'd help. Or if this would be more easily addressed by reconfiguring my MySQL table, just let me know. Thanks, Jason Soza via MySQL you can search by and order/sort by a substring'ed result. Of course, when someone only puts one name or they enter multiple first names, it doesn't work quite the way it's supposed to. For what i do, the following query returns the first letter of the last name in alphabetical order. SELECT substring(substring_index(fullname,' ',-1),1,1) FROM user GROUP BY substring(substring_index(fullname,' ',-1),1,1) ORDER by substring_index(fullname,' ',-1) ASC There is a demo at http://www.defconzero.com/user.php?op=view Hope that provides some insight. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Alternate To Making Form Variables Global (Clerified)
Dr. Shim wrote: Sorry, I'll have to clerify myself a bit. I'm rather tired. :) I have a script that verifys and inserts (into and Access databse) form values. I had to make the form variables global, in order to use them in my functions. Since the new PHP is out, the script doesn't work anymore. I think its probably because of the fact that I had to make those variables global (none of the variables are being read). Does any of you have an idea about how I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance. Dr. Shim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Is there another way then to register form variables global? I just downloaded, and instlaled the newest version of PHP, and now my form script doesn't work anymore. I had to register the form variables global in the script. I'm asking, is there a better way of doing this? I've herd it can lead to possible security hazards. Thanks for any help. Look into the extract() function. You could use it to turn the $_POST or $_GET arrays into local variables, whether you do it at the beginning of the script and make them global as you are currently doing or by doing it at the beginning of the functions that you use them, without globalizing anything. For example... given the url http://localhost/foo.php?bar=banana you'd have $_GET['bar']==banana instead of $bar==banana; at the beginning of the script you'd have extract($_GET); and $bar would exist with the value banana -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I found my problem.
Try fopen() if it fails it will return false, otherwise it will return
an integer file pointer. You get use it to fetch files via http://,
https://, ftp://, and more.
From manual:
file_exists() will not work on remote files; the file to be examined must
be accessible via the server's filesystem.
File is on another server. Is there a way to check if file exists on another
server?

Re: [PHP] global variables
Jule wrote: Hey, i'm just wondering if there is another way to write global variables to a global.php, now i just the whole fopen etc script, where i open a file and write the sctring $number_right = [whatever number it is] to the file, but is there a different way to write it to the file with one simple command? i could use cookies, but i prefer a simpler way. thanks Jule At want point did you stop and think that it would be *easier* to write information to a file? You could use cookies and should use cookies if your looking for a simpler way, sessions as well. If you don't mind information not being around the next time the user returns (after closing his/her browser) you could write to the always global always available $_SESSION array. For example $_SESSION['foo']=bar; and $_SESSION['bar']=foo; It's not writing to a file, but is one simple command and the information you store will follow them anywhere within your site. If you want save the information you could just as easily use $_COOKIES. But would require that you use the setcookie command. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I have a problem. I can't send the session_id to the next page. It worked
before (when I had an old version of php, now I have 4.2.0). It can send the

do this:
define('MYSID', session_name().'='.session_id());
header('Location: ../index.php?'.zOLSID);
Do I have to add this to every header()? Or is there a easyier way. I have
global variables = on.
//Daniel
Straight from the manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
PHP is capable of doing this transparently when compiled with
--enable-trans-sid. If you enable this option, relative URIs will be
changed to contain the session id automatically. Alternatively, you can
use the constant SID which is defined, if the client did not send the
appropriate cookie. SID is either of the form session_name=session_id or
is an empty string.
You probably didn't have --enable-trans-sid when you configured/compiled PHP
