If so, doesn't the include Net/SMTP.php on line 206 look for the path relative to it and not in /home1/youstart/php/? When including a file with a relative path PHP starts at the beginning of the include_path and checks each directory until it finds the file or reaches the end of the list. In this case it will start with the current directory since you've got the . as the first entry in the include path. When using relative paths, it's relative to the script with the include statement. So if you have a script myscript.php that includes mail.php, that include will be relative to myscript.php. Then when you include smtp.php from mail.php, the relative path will be relative to mail.php, not myscript.php. It looks like you're using PEAR classes, but the pear directory isn't in the include path. Try adding that path to your include_path by editing your .htaccess or using ini_set().

Re: [PHP] Upgrading PHP versions
We are currently using PHP version 5.2.6. in production, and I'd like to upgrade to the latest 5.3.1 Before upgrading production, upgrade your staging server and do QA. Any big changes like this should be tested in staging before being pushed to production. Also take a look at http://php.net/ChangeLog-5.php to be sure you know what has changed between 5.2.6 and 5.3.1. My Assumptions: - I can simply download the Windows binary file, and install it. I don't use PHP on Windows, but I would never make this assumption. Things never seem to be as easy as I expect them to be. Try on a staging server before making a change like this in production. - None of the 5.2.6 code will break That's a big assumption. The only way I know of to test it is running the code on a box with 5.3.1 and test it. Will there be a momentary interruption of web services during the install? Will the current PHP applications stop working during the upgrade? I've never used IIS, so I may not be helpful here. If you're using Apache on Windows you'll need to restart Apache is generally a very fast operation.

And live with the fact that some things will have to be taken care of (such as PATH differences between unix/windows) This is what we do where I work. XAMPP has been configured and put into Perforce (our revision control system) so anytime a change is made or we decide to update to a new version of XAMPP, all the devs need to do is grab the latest version. This makes it very nice when people need help setting something up as we all have the exact same setup. We've created some template vhost files for setting up new sites, so getting a new site setup on the local machine is much easier now, especially for those devs who still don't know all that much about Apache. Once a vhost file is working properly, we check it into perforce so that if we need to reinstall XAMPP later, or if someone else needs to work on the site it's as simple as getting the latest version of the file from perforce. For the path differences, we are starting to move the include_path setting out of .htaccess where we've been setting it and into the vhost configuration for the site. Of course this also needs to be done on the server, but it only takes a couple minutes to do. I'd much rather be using a Mac or Linux at work and using vmware for IE testing, but that's not up to me. b) switch to linux with the development stack, enable a windows server to be connected from rdesktop so they can test the IE I would get feedback from your devs about this before making such a drastic switch. Personally, I'd love to ditch windows on my box at work, but I know that some of the devs I work with would not be very happy about that. It also depends on what software your devs are using, and if it's available on Linux. Sure, there are alternatives to everything, but learning to use and becoming efficient with an alternative isn't nearly as productive as continuing to use the same tools.

For a non-array value, the curly braces are unnecessary:
$query = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id='$session_id')
WIth an array element, you have to either use the curly braces or do
as you have and end the string, concat the value and start the string
again as needed.
$query = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id='{$clean['id']}')
When dealing with array elements, I use the curly braces method. IMO
it's cleaner and easier to read.
I would use:
$parameters = array(
'param1' = $_POST[param1],
'param2' = $_POST[param2]
);
This is how I do it as well.
does it really matter? is there really difference or these are just
two styles?
IMO, it's a matter of preference and style. There may be performance
differences between the two, but I doubt that either one is so much
worse than the other that it would have a noticeable impact on your

available. Obviously I'm not suggesting you memorize the manual, but
I've found it very helpful to occasionally browse through a section or
two in the manual, I always seem to find functions I wasn't aware of
before. This really helps in deciding the best way to solve a problem.
if ($result == 0)
echo “bError “ . mysql_errno() . “: “
. mysql_error() . “/b”;
Is this all on one line in your code? If not it needs to be inside
curly braces, though this could be just a case of long lines be broken
up by your email software. For consistency and readability, especially
when starting with a new language, I tend to always use curly braces -
even if not needed.
if ($result == 0)
{
echo 'bError ' . mysql_errno() . ': '. mysql_error() . '/b';
}
else
{
?
!-- Table that displays the results --
table border=”1”
trtdbVariable_name/b/tdtdbValue/b
/td/tr
?php3
for ($i = 0; $i mysql_num_rows($result); $i++) {
echo “TR”;
$row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo “TD” . $row_array[$j] . “/td”;
}
echo “/tr”;
}
?
One last suggestion, indent your code. For example:
else
{
?
!-- Table that displays the results --
table border=”1”
trtdbVariable_name/b/tdtdbValue/b/td/tr
?php
for ($i = 0; $i mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
echo 'TR';
$row_array = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo 'TD'. $row_array[$j] . '/td';
}
echo '/tr';
}
?
/table
?php
}
?
While it's not necessary, I find it much easier to read and
troubleshoot code when indented.

Why not use something like http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ to make it easier for the users? Along with being easier, the widget will format the input however you like. You can even have it displayed to the user in one format and post it to your form in another format.

Using stripslashes is a nice quick fix, but for a long term solution turn off magic_quotes and then update your data to remove the extra slashes.

Re: [PHP] best way for PHP page
i would like to improve my coding quality when i use PHP code and for that i would request your help. in my web developer experience, i have to confess that i've never succeeded in spliting PHP code from HTML code. There's a myth that by separating html and php your code is cleaner, it's a little more than that. What you should consider doing is separating the business logic from the display logic. The business logic includes things like database calls, data calculations, etc. Display logic is what the page actually looks like. This will likely include both HTML and PHP, but the PHP will be limited to echoing out variables, as you should have already done all calculations. One very good way to do this separation is by using the MVC pattern - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller . I've found that using the MVC pattern helps me to write cleaner, more maintainable code as you always know where the code for a given function is located. Need to edit what the page looks like? It's in the view. Need to edit your database calls? It's in the model. Anything else? It's in the controller. There are lots of great frameworks out there that use the MVC pattern. Personally I use and recommend CodeIgniter (http:// www.codeigniter.com) - it's been a great one for me, but there are plenty of other well written frameworks out there if CodeIgniter isn't a good fit for you.

RE: [PHP] Enterprise grade CMS+Ecomm
-Original Message- The question I have to answer is Do I write everything by myself from scratch and spend 3-6 months doing it? Or do I spend that same amount of money on a prebuilt system and spend 1 month integrating our new branding? The answer to this question depends heavily on your needs. What kind of functionality do you need to get out of your website? If you are looking for a website that is similar to others in function, than I would definitely suggest looking at an existing CMS package. Even if you will need some custom functionality, it may be worth the time and effort to create your own module for an existing system. But again, that depends on the complexity of the system you need. The answer doesn't even have to be specifically one way or the other. It could be a mixture of the two. Perhaps I use something like Drupal (which I have no experience with) for the CMS part and write my own ecommerce application. Or perhaps I write my own basic CMS and purchase an ecommerce application? I would suggest that you take a look at the different CMS options as well as the community released modules / plugins. You may well find a CMS that has a module that will meet your needs, or be close enough that you could take the code and customize it to what you are looking for. As for a CMS, I just watched a video on Drupal 4.7 and it looks quite interesting. Opinions? I'm currently migrating from a Mambo site to Drupal. My main reason for doing so is the multi-site functionality. We have a few different websites that we maintain for different business goals, but we want them all to authenticate against the same database due to the fact that some of our users will need to use all of the sites. Using drupal it is very simple to setup several sites on one codebase, and telling them to all authenticate against the same database table is very easy. The other nice thing is that you can setup drupal to share the sessions table as well, so logging into one site logs you into all of the sites at once. Having said that, Drupal is a little more difficult to understand than some of the other CMS systems. At least it was for me, but that probably reflects more on me than on Drupal. ;) For a single site setup I would probably stick with Joomla, but that's just a preference. The bottom line is that there are lots of great CMS options, and the best way to choose one is to know exactly what you want from a CMS and compare them with that in mind.

to use it. Is there any trick about how to make it work?
From the ADOdb Manual: GenID() will automatically create the sequence
for you if it does not exist (provided the userid has permission to do
so).
Does the MySQL user have permission to create tables? Since ADOdb fakes
sequences by creating a table, that could be a problem.

Is safe_mode enabled? From the manual (http://us3.php.net/chmod): Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed. In addition, you cannot set the SUID, SGID and sticky bits. So, if you're running in safe mode, the php file, and the files that you need to modify have to be owned by the same user. Say you have process.php which is operating on the uploaded files, and it is owned by the jondoe user. The files that you wanted to chmod() would also have to be owned by jondoe, which is probably not the case. Apache is often run under the apache, www, or nobody user.

RE: [PHP] Session Array Disappears
You're missing the session_start() call at the beginning of your code.
I'm surprised it works at all without that..

Subject: [PHP] Session Array Disappears
Hello,
The site I'm working on works like this...
Requires a login that uses sessions to remember username and email
address. Upon being verified, the user is presented with a page that
displays several questions regarding their background. Upon
submitting
the background page, a script checks to make sure all background
questions were answered. If not, the page is redisplayed
with a warning
to answer all questions. If they are all present, a second page is
displayed asking about a specific topic. Submitting the second page
calls up the code provided below.
In reading the www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php page,
I'd like to
point out we do not use cookies. The session id is propagated in the
URL (although it's not visible in the URL bar). Also,
session.gc_maxlifetime is set to 5400. We are using PHP 4.3.4.
Not very often, but once in a while, I'll get an email
warning me that a
submission was denied because $_SESSION['Q'] is empty. I'm
wondering,
hoping and/or praying that someone out there can look at this small
script and let me know if I'm doing something wrong with the built in
function array_pop, perhaps I don't understand sessions at all or
perhaps it is a server issue. It's very confusing because
other session
variables (name and email from the login page) are not emptied, just
$_SESSION['Q'].
Here's my code with some documentation:
?php
/*
$_SESSION['startQA'] contains 11 elements and is generated by
a previous
page in the site.
Once the visitor clicks the page two submit button, the above SESSION
variable comes into play again.
This script takes that array of elements and does the following:
1. Assign session array to local array
2. Removes the last elemental value using array_pop
3. Removes the last elemental value using array_pop
4. Assign local variable the value of the a POST element
4a. Create a new session array and populates the first
element equal to
POST element
5. Runs through and populates the remaining 9 elements
5a. Total of 10 elements are now populated, 0 thru 9
6. Double checks the existence of each element
6a. if an element is missing, email me a warning and end program
*/
//Assign Session array to local variable
// Step 1
$thisQarray = $_SESSION['startQA'];
//Remove the last element of the original array
// Step 2
$area = array_pop($thisQarray);
//Remove last element of bgq array and assign to taking_test_at
// Step 3
$from_location = array_pop($thisQarray);
//Assign test version to variable
// Step 4
$testVersion = $_POST['version'];
//Start building the final Session Array
// Step 4a
$_SESSION['Q'] = array($testVersion);
//Populate rest of Session Array
// Step 5
for ($newBGQCounter=0; $newBGQCountercount($thisQarray);
$newBGQCounter++)
{
$_SESSION['Q'][$newBGQCounter+1] = $thisQarray[$newBGQCounter];
}
//test for existense of session array elements
if ( ($_SESSION['Q'][0] == ) OR ($_SESSION['Q'][1] == ) OR
($_SESSION['Q'][2] == ) OR ($_SESSION['Q'][3] == ) OR
($_SESSION['Q'][4] == ) OR ($_SESSION['Q'][5] == ) OR
($_SESSION['Q'][6] == ) OR ($_SESSION['Q'][7] == ) OR
($_SESSION['Q'][8] == ) OR ($_SESSION['Q'][9] == ) )
{
SEND ME AN ERROR EMAIL
END PROGRAM
}
?
Thank you all very much,

RE: [PHP] HAXPLORER - any info?
-Original Message- Does anyone know anything about this, and if they do - have any thoughts on how it may have gotten on the server and how to secure against it in the future? Just trying to help out a friend here. Without knowing the exact setup of the server, we can't help much. Any service running on the system that allows people to access the system could be the culprit, or it could be weak passwords on the server, it could even be a piece of poorly written php code that allowed someone to get control. I would suggest that your friend make a list of the things he has running on his server and spend some time googling for security issues with those services/programs.

RE: [PHP] mysql_fecth_array() and function call as parameter
I have done the following to my code hoping that the fix would work
$query1 = mysql_query(SELECT months FROM Month WHERE m_id =
month(curdate()));
//echo $query1 . br /;
$query1_data = mysql_fetch_assoc($query1);
echo $query1_data . br /; returns Array
(The word that is)
Use: print_r($query1_data) or var_dump($query1_data) to see everything
in the array. If you want to use echo, you'd have to echo each index of
the array one at a time with something like: echo $query1_data[0];
http://php.net/echo
http://php.net/print_r
http://php.net/var_dump
switch ($query1_data)
{
You can't switch on an entire array. Switch is used to check the value
of a variable (which could be an index of the array, but not the entire
array).
Something like this should work:
switch($query1_data[months])
{
}
http://php.net/switch
In your original posting you have lines like the following in your
switch statement:
if($query2 == 31)
As someone mentioned, mysql_query returns a resource ID, you then have
to use mysql_fetch_assoc (or one of the other mysql_fetch_* functions)
to get an array that you can use as you are trying to do.
So after doing: $query2_data = mysql_fetch_assoc($query2);
You could do: if($query2_data[dayNum] == 31)
In your switch statement you are checking for the full name of the
month, but your query will be returning the month number. Since you
don't have a default case on your switch statement, $return is never
being set, so $month = $this-determineMonth(); is not setting
$month to anything, which is why you are getting error messages.

RE: [PHP] mysql_fecth_array() and function call as parameter
-Original Message-
I finally got the function to work. However I have a problem with
another function. It is almost exactly like the origional function
but in this function I am determining the days instead of the month.
I made the same changes to the days function as I did to the month
function. However no value is being set to be returned. I can't find
my error. My function is below:
snip
switch ($query1_data[months])
{
case January:
case March:
case May:
case July:
case August:
case October:
case December:
Once again, in your switch statement you are checking for the full name
of the
month, but your query will be returning the month number. Since you
don't have a default case on your switch statement, $return is never
being set, so $day = $this-determineDay(); is not setting
$month to anything, which is why you are getting error messages.

RE: [PHP] Creating a Window without JavaScript that is on top
Personally, I think that posting a way to allow php to communicate with javascript OR any other language is relevant for a php-general list, don't you think? To use the value of a PHP variable in javascript, you create a javascript variable and then echo the value of the php variable. For example: Say you have a $price variable set in your PHP script and you want to use that in a JavaScript. ?php $price = 50; ? script language=javascript type=text/javascript var price = ?php echo $price; ?; /script Assuming you put this in a .php file, PHP will parse the file and echo the price before the javascript makes it to the browser, so if you look at the source of the document you'll see: script language=javascript type=text/javascript var price = 50; /script HTH, Brady -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Advice updating MS Access data to remote MySQL host that only allowslocal access
-Original Message- I wonder if anyone has any ideas? As I can't just run an update locally and connect to the remote MySQL host, I was scheduling a periodic export of an access table to csv format, ftping it to the server, and then running an update script on the remote host (simplehost.com). It just seems convoluted, and frought with difficulties. There has to be a easier way to update the transaction status table? First schedule an automatic upload of the .mdb file to the server. (Not sure how to do this, google is your friend for this part.) Then write a PHP Script that will: 1 - Connect to the Access DB and query for the data you need 2 - Insert that data into the mySQL database Then schedule a cron job to run the script at a set time each day (or whatever frequency you need). Take a look at the ADODB Class (http://adodb.sf.net) for connecting to MS Access from PHP. I used it once for a project where I had to use an Access DB and it was actually pretty smooth. I now use ADODB for all of my DB connections. :) HTH, Brady -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Doesn't work

{
$val = $row[m_id];
$out = $row[months];

You're missing the select tags.
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($Equip_query))
{
$val = $r[equip];
echo option value=$val$val/option\n;
}
On a seperate note, if all you are doing with the $val variable is using it to
echo, it's not needed. Put brackets { } around the var to echo ie:
{$r[equip]} - makes it easier to read later when you come back to tweak your
code.

I did not consider the fact of not being able to leave the site while listening, and since these are as long as 40 minutes, this might get annoying. Perhaps keeping your current setup and adding a link that opens an embedded player in a popup window would be a good compromise. That way people who just want to stream the sermons can do so, and with the player in a popup window they could still surf the web while listening. As far as file format, it might be worth looking into using the OGG Vorbis format. There are players on Windows/Mac/Linux that support the format and it uses compression, so the file sizes should be a bit smaller than mp3s. Take a look at http://www.vorbis.com/ for more info.
