[PHP] Should this not return true?!?!
Hi there (newbie here) - I have the following snippet of code..
$sexId = $_POST['sex'];
$fName = $_POST['fName'];
$lName = $_POST['lName'];
if ($status = $db-query(INSERT INTO names (nameId, sexId, fName,
lName) VALUES ('', $sexId, '$fName', '$lName'))) {
print Your data was added to the database successfully!;
} else {
print Your data could not be added to the database!;
}
Assuming my query was successful, should it not return true and print
the success message?
For some reason it is doing just the opposite. The data is added, but
it displays the error instead.
Am I misunderstanding something?

[PHP] learning classes - need pointer
Hi there - I am slowly converting all of my projects over to a OOP based structure with classes. Now I had a quick question. In my current case, I am trying to create all the generic SQL functions (IE insert, update, delete, etc). Now what I am wondering - what would be the best way to structure the code so that I can accommodate the possibilities for different fields and databases, etc? Is it something that I should just pass to the class?

Re: [PHP] dynamic image will not print properly
I got it figured out finally!
It is so stupid with what the issue was...
My image was being created exactly as it should have been - and the
code was fine. Now where my issue was: I had a line of code in there
that was to prevent people from calling the script directly (had to be
referred from a particular page). Well IE did not like that for
printing. Even though the script acted exactly as it should have by
design. I saved the image to my desktop to test it, and when opening in
an image app - it would not even open (even though displaying fine in a
browser). So I changed the file ext of the downloaded file to that of a
text file and opened it... and what do you know - there was the error
my php script generates when the page is not called properly.
So I removed that line of code (completely irrelevant to the image
itself) And win/IE could print like all the other browsers could.
doh!

One thing I feel is important to point out before I keep banging my
head off of the wall here...
In the URL parameter that is sent to the file, the url parameter is
just carrying text that is printed into the image. It is not actually
the image name, or anything. The image is generated in the cstl file
(which actually is the image - sends JPEG headers,etc) - with the text
on it (grabbed from the URL parameter).

Yup.
$_PATH['x'] for the items that look like this: .../x=42/
And $PATH (without the underscore) is a string concatenation of all
elements (after the PHP script) that look like this /whatever/
So you might use something like a PHP script named 'scale' and then:
http://example.com/scale/width=100/height=100/images/subdir/
bigpic.jpg
and then you know that you want to scale the image in your
images/subdir
naemd bigpic.jpg down to 100x100 at maximum.
You'll have:
$_PATH['width'] - 100
$_PATH['height'] - 100
$PATH = '/images/subdir/bigpic.jpg'

Yes.

Here's what you do: You make it *IMPOSSIBLE* for Microsoft to

This means you make your URL look JUST LIKE any other JPEG URL.

Step 2:

Step 3:
Instead of using $_GET['dk'] do this:
$pathinfo = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
$pathinfo = explode('/', $pathinfo);
//Key-Value pairs:

//Path information buried in URL for source image

[PHP] scripting workflow
I just have a few questions regarding workflow when producing scripts. First off, do people prefer to have all their code in one file? Or multiple separate files? I know functions and classes are good to keep in separate files, but i am talking about say for example a news system, etc. Next off, how about when actually assembling the files? Do you produce all of your html output, then say build all of your functions - then say build the logic? Does that make sense? I had in the past use DW for building php apps, and as an exercise to myself I am forcing myself to hand code to learn better. But I do however want to increase my productivity.

case 1: $PATH[] = $keyval;
default:
$key = $parts[0];
unset($parts[0]);
$_PATH[$key] = implode('=', $parts);
break;
}
}
Now you can use $_PATH['dk'] instead of $_GET['dk'] to get your dk
value
from the URL. You'll only change $_GET to $_PATH in cstl (formerly
cstl.php) and you're all set.
Now, there is *NO* *WAY* Microsoft can manage to screw up your URL and
decide that it must not be a JPEG because it has GET data, or ends in
.php
or whatever.
This same technique must be applied to PDF, FDF, SWF/Ming files if you
want to avoid a zillion MS IE bugs related to multi-media.
So you might as well put the code for $_PATH/$PATH in an include file.
I
guarantee you'll need it again and again as you use more and more
multi-media in your web-site.

Well I changed it to:
print 'form action='.$editFormAction.' method=post name=ml_form
id=ml_form'.\n;
and I still had the same result. the source of the page when viewed in
the browser was:
form action= method=post name=ml_form id=ml_form
So as you can see the $editFormAction is still not being rendered. So
I am going to add the following info, I have a page that is required
once that contains my functions. and I defined a function to print out
this form. My code for that is:
?php
// create subscribe form
function sub_form() {
print 'form action='.$editFormAction.' method=post name=ml_form
id=ml_form'.\n;
print 'pinput name=email type=text id=email
size=25/p'.\n;
print 'pinput type=submit name=Submit
value=Subscribe/p'.\n;
print '/form';
}
?
So would my issue be that I formatted my function wrong? Or that the
page is included?

[PHP] Re: variable not being rendered
Ok - I have been investigating a little more. I now realized it is a question of making my variables available outside of the function. So one thing I want to point out is that: $editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; is contained in one function. And that: print 'form action='.$editFormAction.' method=post name=ml_form id=ml_form'.\n; is contained in another function. The first function contains all my code for a SQL query to insert a record. And the second function is just to create the form itself. Now i know i also need to use the result function. But I am sure that since I am using a few functions here - there might be more hitches than I realize.

$value = \t;
}else{
# important to escape any quotes to preserve them in the data.
$value = str_replace('', '', $value);
# needed to encapsulate data in quotes because some data might be multi
line.
# the good news is that numbers remain numbers in Excel even though
quoted.
$value = '' . $value . '' . \t;
}
$line .= $value;
}
$data .= trim($line).\n;
}
# this line is needed because returns embedded in the data have \r
# and this looks like a box character in Excel
$data = str_replace(\r, , $data);
# Nice to let someone know that the search came up empty.
# Otherwise only the column name headers will be output to Excel.
if ($data == ) {
$data = \nno matching records found\n;

# This line will stream the file to the user rather than spray it

[PHP] Re: drop down menu populated from a directory
Ok - here is the relevant Quicktime code:
!-- START QUICKTIME CONTENT --
object classid=clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B
width=320 height=256
codebase=http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab;
param name=autoplay value=true
param name=controller value=true
param name=pluginspage
value=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html;
param name=target value=myself
param name=type value=video/quicktime
param name=src value=../../../mov/THElostART.mov

autoplay=true controller=true border=0
pluginspage=http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html;
target=myself/embed
/object
!-- END QUICKTIME CONTENT --
Now I figure - getting the file name in there would be pretty easy (for
the most part), but the thing is getting the dimensions of the movie in
there... as it is possible that not all movies are the same dimensions.
I am hoping to have just the one PHP that will change dynamically for
the QT content - I would like to avoid having a php or html file for
each QT movie.

[PHP] * populate menu from directory *
Hi there - I am a REAL new PHP coder (yeah I mostly use dreamweaver). I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction... What I want to do is have a generic template page for say a bunch of quicktime movies... it would have a movie embedded, and a drop down menu below to select the movie you want to watch.. what I was hoping to do was have the menu populated by pulling the file names from the movies in the directory on the server. I want to be able to simply FTP a new movie onto the server, and then have the menu update itself. possible? I would also be looking to do something similar with JPGS. d -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
