Re: [PHP] cookies and clocks

2001-04-25 Thread DanO

look at it this way:

you are dealing with an INTERVAL of time, thus the only reason you really
need javascript is in the construction of a date object.

you can either import that object into php as a string, or you can actually
go the extra mile and set the cookie in javascript.

HTH,
DanO

I have a cookie that times out after an hour for security reasons.
About 1 out of 200 of my users send me an email saying they can't log
into my site and I find out that it's usually because their clocks
are off. Has anyone had any luck using the time on the client to set
cookies by instead of server time? I hate using javascript for this
but I don't see much choice.

RE: [PHP] while loop and modulus?

by default, HTML browsers, according to spec, will handle the rendering of
any and all empty cells at the end of a row.

even netscape  ;)

so, this is technically not a bug.

my question is how it works when you have 7 photos in a row, or 4?

OK, using this code:

echo "tr\n";

$photocount = 0;

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
 $smallpic = $row['smallpic'];

 echo "td$smallpic/td\n";

 if (($photocount % 3) == 2) {
 echo "/tr\ntr\n";
 }
 $photocount++;

 }

And 8 photos in the table, I'm getting this output:

Great, except it's missing an end cell, and after a few hours fiddling about
with code last night, I still didn't get any further in working out how I
was going to echo a table cell even if data's missing.  So, any help would
be appreciated.

Apologies for what're probably "easy" questions.  I slog away at work all

** Reply to note from Gerald Gutierrez [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu, 15 Feb 2001

 2) In JSPs, it is possible to do server-side page redirection, i.e.
 "forward" a request from page A to page B, as if the user actually
 requested page B. There is no browser involvement in the redirection; it
is
 complete on the server. In this scenario, there are two "page scopes", and
 one "request scope". How is this server-side redirection done in PHP?

You might do something like:


pageA.php
-
?

if( user_realy_wants_page_b ) {
   include( 'pageb.php' );
   exit;
   }

?
Page A starts here...
-

That all happens on the server, and does not require anything outside of
page A
to implement.


 3) In doing the server-side page redirection, variables can be added to a
 "request" object, which embodies parameters related to a request. Page A
 can add variables to the request object (perhaps values from an SQL
 select), which page B can then retrieve and display. How is this done in
PHP?

In the example above, any variables set in page A will be visible in page B
when
it is included.  The values must be set BEFORE the include() is hit.



 5) On a JSP site, I typically arrange things such that a particular JSP
(or
 servlet) accepts requests, processes them and then forwards them to one of
 a number of different pages, depending on the outcome of the processing.
 This is in contrast to the alternative approach where one simply goes to a
 page, which does some processing and then displays the contents of the
 requested page. What is the typical way to achieving this "funnel all
 requests to a single point and have it forward the correct response to the
 user" paradigm?


?


switch ( $Desired_Action ) {

   case 'PageA' :
   include( 'pagea.php' );
   break;

   case 'PageB' :
   include( 'pageb.php' );
   break;

   case 'PageC' :
   include( 'pagec.php' );
   break;

   default:
   include( 'defailt.php' );
   break;

   }

would be one possibility.

good point.  i should think before i post.

here is another go:

?
chdir("destination");
system("tar -xpf /some/path/to/mytar.tar");
?

i can't test this as i am on a windows box at the moment, but i think you
can get the gist of it.

change the working directory of php and then extract from another file.

RE: [PHP] javascript in PHP statement

2001-02-15 Thread DanO


note that javascript and PHP CANNOT interact natively on the same page...one
is client side and one is server side.

you can pass variables between the two in an HTTP request, however.

page1.php:

script type=javascript
function makeSqlQuery(businesstype,village) {
var sqlQuery;
sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM MAIN WHERE BUSINESSTYPE="
+ businesstype +
" AND VILLAGE="
+ village
location = "php2.php?sqlQuery=" + sqlQuery;
}
/script
form name=thisform
select name=businesstype
/select
select name=village
/select
input type=button
onclick="makeSqlQuery(thisform.businesstype,thisform.village)"
/form

--

this is a silly way to do it, however, and you should just pass the
variables themselves and construct and run the query in a new request using
php.

you use the same page with control structures on it.

As far as I know, no. Unless "top.upper.villagename" is a field in your
database and the rest is that field's contents (couldn't be ... too many
unescaped double quotes and semicolons). Nope, SQL statements don't work
like that and can only refer directly to data in a database, not php or
any other variables.

You might consider using if statements something like this:

if ($top.upper.villagename != '0') {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM main WHERE business = 'consultancy'";
}


Hope this helps

sounds like your php script cannot write to the header, which means you'll

there are some handy javascript cookie libraries that can make this much

Subject: [PHP] question (as if anything else would be in an email to the
list...)


Hi again.  I have a new problem.  I have a form with a drop down list.  When
the user chooses something from the list, I need a variable to change values
so it can be used upon submission of the form.  I thought maybe I could
throw a little line of code into an onChange() function in the select  
tag, but I got the MS Debugger thrown up on me.  Anyone got an idea of how
to do this?  Is it possible to call a javascript function and change the
variable in there?  Or an easier way (like inline php code...)?  Thanks

Jason

RE: [PHP] decimal point movement...

2001-01-18 Thread DanO


why go thru the costly overhead of a regex when you can use math?


ex:

?
$number = '600';
$new= $number/100;
$rem= $new-$new%100;
if ($rem == 0) {
$new .= ".00";
}

print $number;
print "\n";
print $new;
?

you divide the number by 100 to push the decimal back, and, if there is no
remainder (by modulus division), you append .00 to the variable.

Christopher,

try a regular expression somthing like this

?
$temp = "007170";
ereg ("([0-9]{2})([0-9]*)", $temp, $test);
$changed_to_deicmal_form = $test[1].".".$test[2];
echo "$changed_to_deicmal_form";
?

Greetings!

I am looking for an efficeient way to assign a decimal to a number and store
the new number.
I wanto add a decimal point after the first 2 leading digitis..
while ( query runs)
{

$temp=007170;
$changed_to_deicmal_form;  // would store .7170
}

Furthermore I was using printf to round up numbers...has anyone found a
different or better way?

RE: [PHP] mixing HTML and PHP code

2001-01-11 Thread DanO


it's valid to use single-quotes, double-quotes, or NO quotes.

specs, anyone?

---

The value of the attribute may be either:

A string literal, delimited by single quotes or double quotes and not
containing any occurrences of the delimiting character. (7)


http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html-spec/


---
3.2.2 Attributes

Elements may have associated properties, called attributes, which may have
values (by default, or set by authors or scripts). Attribute/value pairs
appear before the final "" of an element's start tag. Any number of (legal)
attribute value pairs, separated by spaces, may appear in an element's start
tag. They may appear in any order.

In this example, the id attribute is set for an H1 element:

H1 id="section1"
This is an identified heading thanks to the id attribute
/H1


By default, SGML requires that all attribute values be delimited using
either double quotation marks (ASCII decimal 34) or single quotation marks
(ASCII decimal 39). Single quote marks can be included within the attribute
value when the value is delimited by double quote marks, and vice versa.
Authors may also use numeric character references to represent double quotes
(#34;) and single quotes (#39;). For double quotes authors can also use
the character entity reference quot;.

In certain cases, authors may specify the value of an attribute without any
quotation marks. The attribute value may only contain letters (a-z and A-Z),
digits (0-9), hyphens (ASCII decimal 45), and periods (ASCII decimal 46). We
recommend using quotation marks even when it is possible to eliminate them.

Attribute names are always case-insensitive

Attribute values are generally case-insensitive. The definition of each
attribute in the reference manual indicates whether its value is
case-insensitive.

All the attributes defined by this specification are listed in the attribute
index.

  That's pretty ugly.
 
  echo "input type='text' name='hello' size='20' value='$value'";

 that isn't html anymore, though.

 even though IE and NS may be forgiving, input type='text' isn't valid.

 " it is.

  That's a bit better.
  This is even better still:
 
  echo "INPUT TYPE='TEXT' NAME='hello' SIZE='20' VALUE='$value'";
 
  Now, I can see the PHP variable used in there a lot easier than I
  could before. Syntax highlighting would bring it up more, too.
 
  speaking as an html author, and a lover of php, _please_:
 
  input type="text" name="hello" size="20" value="?=$value?"
 
  it makes the code useable.
 
  Actually, it makes it less useable for me.

 how?

 and what about your html production people, who needs to make changes to
it?


  : _never_ and I do mean that _never_ use echo for printing html.
 
  it makes your apps impossible to change, and in a production
  environment, that's not ok.
 
  What if, halfway through a page, I figure out that I need to do a
  redirect or set a cookie?

 I suggest you design your applications in such a way that you separate
logic
 from markup, and preferably assemble your applications out of separate
 components that perform "categories" of logical operations. Using markup
 that is not contain echos does not preclude good application design.

 If you're building pages where database connections on the same page as
your
 markup, I see why you would say that. As you do larger applications,
you'll
 find that practice does not scale well:

 Have a look at binarycloud.com. binarycloud provides a framework for
 building large scale, robust applications that effectively separate markup
 from logic. (and it makes coffee!)

  I assemble *all* the page content into a single string variable,
  and echo it out as the last thing the script does. This way I'm
  free to play with HTTP headers right up to that time.

 agh!

 well, ok - but I suggest that you use functions instead, and call your
html
 printing functions at the end of your script. or better, build simple
 components, and glue them together to make an application that consists of
 files that do logical operations, and files that contain markup.

 Dumping all that crap into a variable and printing one massive goo-ball
 isn't the route to incredible webserver performance, either.

 Try stress testing your installations, you'll find apache suddenly needs a
 _hideous_ amount of memory.

  However, each to their own - your way works for you and your team,
  mine works for me and mine :)

 And as
