[PHP] Interacting with an IpServer via sockets
I have an IpServer using Turbopowers IpServer library) and am

[PHP] Processing a table of input fields
I create a table of input fields so the user (secretary at a Rotary meeting) can check mark if the person attended and how much they paid for lunch. Each input field name has the user ID as part of it. What is the best way to process the table when the submit button is pressed? There are about 50 rows in the table. Sample of one row for member 590: tr tdinput type=checkbox name=590_attend value=1 /td td05/11/2007/tdtdTheressa/tdtdBryant/tdtdinput type=text name=590_pay value=16 size=5 maxlength=4/td tdinput type=text name=590_charge value=16 size=5 maxlength=4/td tdinput type=text name=590_note size=26 maxlength=25/td /tr -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

tdinput type=text name=590_charge value=16 size=5
maxlength=4/td
tdinput type=text name=590_note size=26 maxlength=25/td
/tr
Personally I'd do it like this (if you are displaying say 50
checkboxes on the page at once)
Name each checkbox so the they go into an array, i.e.:
input type=checkbox name=attend[] value=590
input type=checkbox name=attend[] value=591
input type=checkbox name=attend[] value=592
Then in your PHP script you can simply loop through the attend array
($_POST['attend']) and extract all the IDs of those people who were
ticked. If they weren't ticked, they won't be in your array.
Cheers,
Rich
I would do it even a different way
tr
tdinput type=checkbox name=list[590][attend] value=1/td
td05/11/2007/td
tdTheressa/td
tdBryant/td
tdinput type=text name=list[590][pay] value=16 size=5

tdinput type=text name=list[590][charge] value=16 size=5
maxlength=4/td
tdinput type=text name=list[590][note] size=26
maxlength=25/td
/tr
Then on the PHP side this.
if ( isset($_POST['list']) count($_POST['list']) 0 ) {
foreach ( $_POST['list'] AS $id = $data ) {
if ( isset($data['attend']) $data['attend'] == '1' ) {
# do stuff related to them attending the meal
}
}
}
This way, everything the grouped in one big array. You don't have to
worry about checking for values in each array, it is all right there.
Keeping things in sync is much easier this way.
Hope this helps
WOW! Now it is quite refined! Thank you for contributions.

Re: [PHP] Removing commas from number
Paul -
You make a good point. What is your suggestion for the following sequence:
$number = $row-AMOUNT; // Get the double from MySQL
To display the number in the HTML edit field, I do
$display_number = number_format($number, 2, '.', '');
The user may enter a character that will not be accepted by MySQL, so I do
$mysql_number = preg_replace('/[^0-9^\.]/', '', $display_number);
Thank you for your suggestions

preg_replace('/\D/', '', $str)
This strikes me as such an odd thing to do. If the MySQL table field is
defined as float, I don't see the need to remove the decimal point.
If you do need to store the digits without the punctuation, you could
also multiply by 100 and store it as an integer: intval($my_number *
100) which seems more efficient than to format as a string and then
reformat without the punctuation.
If I have two uses for a number -- say, formatted with commas and other
dressing for display and formatted more severely for SQL -- I'd retain
the number in a variable as its pure value and convert it for each use,
rather than converting it for one use and then converting that for the
next use. The software's more robust because a glitch in a formatting
operation isn't going to affect the final result. Also, in many
arithmetic circumstances where division is involved, the true value of
the results are accurate to more than two decimal places. While these
might be rounded to the nearest cent for display purposes, you'll want
to add the true values to get the true total. One common example is a
column of percentages that should add to 100%.

Paul

probably, but I don't know how off the top of my head.
look into using $_SESSION instead and maybe even consider that you
could save yourself a redirect by doing something _like_:
if ($send) {
$_POST['message'] = $message;
include './mypage.php';
exit;
}
now sticking stuff into $_POST or $_GET probably isn't the best tactic -
if a security guru could comment on that I'd appreciate it also!

Actually, contrary (apparently) to what most people think on this list,
it is *not* possible (well, not in a standards-compliant way). Basically
what you do with a location header is stating that the URL provided is
in a different location (using a 3xx status code). This in turn means
(for most browsers) that they will make a new connection to the URI
provided. You can redirect both POST and GET requests (and a hundred
more), which should work fine in common browsers. A POST request getting
a `303 See Other` status should be resent (with a nice are you sure you
wish to resubmit this data prompt to the user; unfortunately, few
browsers do this, though most common browsers (currently) do properly
resend the data as part of a POST request to the URL provided.
Well, it's all very interesting up till now; the problem you're facing
is that you do not with to *redirect*, you wish to *force the browser to
initiate a specific type of request to a specific URI*, you use the 30x
status codes to do this (which is actually incorrect usage, but let's
just forget about / ignore that for now). That means the following:
1. a new URI is sent to the browser via the Location header
2. the browser makes a new connection to the specified URI with the
original type (ie. POST, GET, PUT, etc. (not HEAD))
3. the browser re-sends any additional data it was supposed to send
(generally only in POST and PUT requests)
Since there is no way for the server to inject data into that new
request (except for the URI, which is why get redirects work), you
can't inject a new POST request to a browser. Either you redirect the
existing request (via a 30x status response), or you need to have the
user re-submit a form (with potential new info provided by the script)
to the new URI.
The RFC2616 HTTP/1.1 [1] document covers this in reasonable detail.
Also, google searches for POST redirect request will bring up a few
articles detailing why this does not (and should not) work.
hope this help,

What I have done in the past is to open a new socket and pass the

be an easier way. Your detailed explanation tells why there is not.

You do know that JavaScript can open a PHP page right? Here is an

/*

*/
function popUp(url){
pop = window.open(url,'window

pop.moveTo(50,50);
}
Whatever foo.php is will be displayed in the pop-up window. There are
several ways to pass variables back and forth using JavaScriptbut
this is not the list for that :)

What about:

and
if (isset($_POST['send']) ) {
# do some sanitising on $_POST['message'] here
header(location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/send.php?message=; .
$_POST['message']);
}
exit();
if (isset($_POST['cancel']) ) {
header(location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/index.php;);
}
Add other sanity checks as required.

[PHP] When to make a class
My background is in Object Oriented Pascal (Delphi), however I am having
difficulty knowing when to make a class in PHP. For instance, in my
script file, functions.php, I have these functions among others:
/* Input a field */
function input_field($name, $value, $size, $max) {
echo('INPUT TYPE=text NAME=' . $name . ' VALUE=' . $value .
' SIZE=' . $size . ' MAXLENGTH=' . $max . '');
};
/* Input a password field */
function input_password_field($name, $value, $size, $max) {
echo('INPUT TYPE=password NAME=' . $name . ' VALUE=' . $value .
' SIZE=' . $size . ' MAXLENGTH=' . $max . '');
};
Should I have a class that contains these functions (methods)?
One of my non-profit clients would like to have an online emailer
program driven by a MySQL database. This I can envision as a class,
actually several classes (e.g. send mail, create message, select
addresses, etc.).

A very well thought out answer. I especially liked the part, I see the

Simple answer:
If YOU don't see the benefits of a class then you shouldn't use one.
Longer answer:
I see the benefits of a class when functions start sharing variables.
Then you would have to use $GLOBALS or the global keyword. This is a big
indication that the functions should instead be inside a class and that
the variables should be properties of that class.
Of course, when you start using classes you slowly move to using classes
even if they're not absolutely necessary as with your two functions up
there. Then one notices that there are even more types of input fields
(radio buttons, hidden fields, select boxes...) and that they have
something in common (attributes of the input tag). So one could think
Hey, why not make a base class for all fields?. And so on...

Now I am not sure where/how to specify the location of the attachment.
If anyone has experience with a shared server, I would appreciate any help.
The URL to the site is
http://64.202.163.82/s/f/y/sfycadmin/html/
And with FTP that is the base or root. I have tried putting the file in

This is not an area in which I have much knowledge, so bear with me: I downloaded the tarball for Apache 2.0.54 and then configured with ./configure --prefix=/www --enable-module=so followed by the make and make install Next I download Php 4.3.11 and do the configure with ./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird --with-apxs2=/www/bin/apxs When I run the make, I get ... sapi/apache2handler/php_functions.lo main/internal_functions.lo -lcrypt -lcrypt -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lcrypt -lcrypt -o libphp4.la ext/ctype/ctype.lo: file not recognized: File truncated collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 If I do not have the --with-apxs2=/www/bin/apxs, there are no errors, but I do not get the libphp4.so that I need.

It is not printing the string as a link, and

just prints the literal string with apotrophies added. I tried
$page_path = ' . make_page_path($page_string, $fullscriptname) . ';

what is there to correct - you are telling me that the value of $file
show up as a string and then magically it becomes an integer (but just
while you are designating the key)
listen you've just shown us a simple loop to stuff some file/dir names
into an array where by the file/dir name is the assoc. key as well as
the value of any given item in said array - WHERE THE F*** IS THE
DROPDOWN RELATED CODE?
$file_list = array();
$dir = opendir($doc_dir);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir))) {
if (($file != .) ($file != ..))
$file_list[$file] = $file; ---
}
what happens if you place the following right after the code you mention
(just to prove that what you say about the key is wrong):
echo 'pre';
print_r($file_list);
echo '/pre';

[PHP] Making includes and requires safe.
I received the following and I would like to know what is meant by making includes and requires safe: [Quote] News Story by Peter Sayer DECEMBER 27, 2004 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - The latest version of the Santy worm poses an elevated risk to many Web sites built using the PHP scripting language, and protection of those sites may involve individually recoding them, security experts warned over the weekend. Early versions of the Santy worm exploited a specific bug in a bulletin-board software package called phpBB, and their attacks could be prevented by applying a patch to the software (see story). However, the security flaw exploited by newer versions of the worm such as Santy.C or Santy.E is more general, and can occur anywhere a site designer has left the door open for the inclusion of arbitrary files into PHP scripts, experts at K-OTik Security in Montpellier, France, warned. Santy.C and Santy.E behave so differently from Santy.A that K-OTik is renaming the worm PhpInclude.Worm in its advisories, the company said yesterday. The worm doesn't exploit the vulnerabilities in phpBB targeted by its predecessor, instead aiming for a wider range of common programming errors in PHP Web pages. It uses search engines including Google, Yahoo and AOL to identify exploitable Web pages written in PHP that use the functions include() and require() in an insecure manner, K-OTik said. These functions can be used to embed the contents of a file in a Web page. If the site designer used them without sufficient checking of the parameters passed to the function, then an attacker could exploit them to incorporate an arbitrary file in the Web page, rather than the limited range presumably intended by the site designer. From there, depending on the configuration of the Web server, the attacker could move on to take control of the entire machine, K-OTik warned. To prevent these attacks, it may be necessary to recode the site to use the include() and require() functions in a safe manner. Eliminating the security flaws exploited by the newer versions of Santy involves no new tricks, and is simply a matter of applying long-known sound programming principles. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Has this always been the case or is there a setting in the php.ini file that contols this? Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Many thanks to all. Todd John Legg wrote: Todd, From the PHP manual: magic_quotes_gpc boolean Sets the magic_quotes state for GPC (Get/Post/Cookie) operations. When magic_quotes are on, all ' (single-quote), (double quote), \ (backslash) and NUL's are escaped with a backslash automatically. Note: If the magic_quotes_sybase directive is also ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. Having both directives enabled means only single quotes are escaped as ''. Double quotes, backslashes and NUL's will remain untouched and unescaped.

[PHP] Displaying a pdf inline
After reading the online documentation, it appears that I should be
using the following code, however it does not appear to work. Are there
some obvious errors?
if ($row) {
$pdf_file = $row-CLM_IMG_FILE;
$msg = $pdf_file;
$SRC_FILE = /tmp/ . $pdf_file;
$download_size = filesize($SRC_FILE);
$filename = basename($SRC_FILE);
//print(Filename: . $filename . br);
//print(SRC_FILE: . $SRC_FILE . br);
//print(Size: . $download_size . br);
header(Content-Type: application/pdf);
header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=image.pdf);
//header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=image.pdf);
header(Content-Length: $download_size);
header(Connection: close);
readfile($SRC_FILE);
} else {
$msg = Cannot find the claim;
}

Re: [PHP] Displaying a pdf inline
Curt - Thank you for the quick response. The file is being sent and the PDF reader does try to open it, but it is corrupted. When I change the Disposition to header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=image.pdf) and save the file, it cannot be opened do to errors within the file. Yet, the file can be opened on the server. Am I missing something simple here?

IIRC, inline doesn't force the browser to display it within the browser, it all depends on the content-type, and if a plugin is suppose to load within the browser at that point.

[PHP] Re: Slideshow using PHP
I do have a JavaScript based SlideShow, however, I would like to use PHP rather than JavaScript. Is there a way to loop with PHP and display an image without re-displaying the whole page?

Re: [PHP] Re: Slideshow using PHP
Matthew - Part of getting the slideshow to work is making the browser switch to the next image and well, PHP doesn't really make the browser do anything. As I was thinking about it before posting this thread, that was my impression. The problem with my javaScript app is the fact that it needs to load all of the images. I am hoping there is some way to load the iamges one-at-a-time; as needed. Someone told me that there is a way to use Flash and PHP. Todd Matthew Sims wrote: I do have a JavaScript based SlideShow, however, I would like to use PHP rather than JavaScript. Is there a way to loop with PHP and display an image without re-displaying the whole page? Todd To get a good slideshow you'll need to use client side instructions, aka javascript. You're probably not going to get it to work so well using PHP which is server side instructions.

[PHP] OnClick handler to show PDF
Currently, I have a Link to show a PDF file
? print('Click a href=' . $url . $sfyc_race_schd_send . ' Name=Race
Schedule Target=_blankhere/a to open the Race Schedule'); ?
I want to replace it with a button and an OnClick()
?
print('input type=button name = View Schedule OnClick=');
?
I cannot get the syntax correct for the OnClick. Is this the best way
to use a button for the task?

Re: [PHP] OnClick handler to show PDF
You were close enough...this works:
input type=button value=View Schedule
onClick=JavaScript:document.location='?php echo ( $url .
$sfyc_race_schd_send ); ?'
The next challenge is to create a new window and display the file.

[PHP] Making Printer Friendly files
I have a news letter produced by PageMaker that is normally put into PDF format so the user can download it. However, I would like to have a Printer Friendly version (no graphics). Is there a PHP program that can take an HTML version and remove the graphics or is there a better way with pagemaker?

[PHP] Reshuffling an array
I do the following:
$eventList = array();
$eventList[] = Any;
$dbh = db_open($host, $user, $password, $database);
if($dbh) {
$sthdl = db_get_event_data($dbh);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($sthdl)) {
$eventList[] = $row-EV_EVENT;
}
} else {
$eventList[] = * None found *;
}
asort( $eventList );
Now I want to put Any as the first item. What is the best way to do
this? Often the sort puts it as an item down the list.

Re: [PHP] Reshuffling an array
Works as advertised. Made it a sort.

Remove the line adding 'Any' at the beginning of your code and use
array_unshift() to add it at the end.
$eventList = array();
$dbh = db_open($host, $user, $password, $database);
if($dbh) {
$sthdl = db_get_event_data($dbh);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($sthdl)) {
$eventList[] = $row-EV_EVENT;
}
} else {
$eventList[] = * None found *;
}
asort( $eventList );
array_unshift($eventList,'Any');
do you really need to maintain the numeric keys to the array by using
asort() instead of just sort()? If so, this may not work. You may be able to
use array_splice($input, 0, 0, array('Any')) or array_merge().
