RE: [PHP] Quite a basic question[Scanned]
Mario,
From the PHP Manual:
Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either
by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common
error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file
access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header()
is called. The same problem exists when using a single PHP/HTML file.
You cannot have anything being output to the browser before the header line.
See:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

Hi,
This is quite a very basic question, but i think the code

Instead, i get a

How can i solve this ?

RE: [PHP] Problem of a beginner with Array[Scanned]
Henri,
I think you will need to give some sort of number to each of the checkboxes, e.g.
for($i = 1; $i 51; $i++)
{
echo input type='checkbox' name='lotterynumber.$i.';
}
As you are finding, with checkboxes the value returned is either 'on' or null. So
without giving specific names to the checkboxes you will be left with an array of only
those checkboxes that have been checked.
By giving the checkboxes a unique name - based on the numbers - you should then be
able to loop through the checkboxes irrespective of whether they have been checked,
e.g.
for($i = 1; $i 51; $i ++)
{
if (${lottery_number.$i} == 'on')
echo The number chosen was $i;
}
You can then determine whether a specific checkbox has been checked by seeing if it
has the value of 'on' and translate this to the number you require.
I think a combination of the code I sent earlier together with that sent by Torsten
will containg the answer.
HTH,
Michael Egan

Seems I can't do another way than this. Not possible
to do just Grid1[].
After submit you will receive $_POST['Grid1'] as an
ARRAY containing all
indices of the checked checkboxes. Then loop through
it and do what ever you

foreach ($_POST['Grid1'] as $value) {

So, I did it like you said but the result of echo

RE: [PHP] get_browser and $_SERVER info from an IFRAME[Scanned]
As Richard Davey has pointed out - there is no reason why your approach in itself would cause the error message you are getting. I did a similar thing with a site I created and was plagued with similar error messages but the problem wasn't due to sessions but due to the way in which I tried to add a different header section to the scripts. This isn't straightforward with PhpBB because of the way in which some of the scripts use redirects. Perhaps this is causing the problem. HTH, Michael Egan -Original Message- From: I.A. Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 July 2004 15:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] get_browser and $_SERVER info from an IFRAME[Scanned] Hi, I have a php webstats script that puts info into a MYSQL database. I include it at the top of each page that I have. I recently put a php built forum (PHPBB) on our website and wanted to include the php script at the top of that. Unfortunately as it already uses sessions, I kept on getting 'headers already sent' error messages for obvious reasons- I was using sessions and so was PHPBB. I thought a good way round this would be to have an IFRAME on each of the forum pages where the IFRAME would be the PHP webstats page. The only problem with this is that it logs the information of the IFRAME and not the main page. I use get_browser and $_SERVER to log things such as the IP address, browser, os, and work out the country and the name of the page being looked at. $browser = get_browser(); $parenty = $browser-parent; $browsery = $browser-platform; $crawlery = $browser-crawler; $cookiesy = $browser-cookies; $pathy = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $ipy = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $hosty = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); All these will return details for the IFRAME.

RE: [PHP] get_browser and $_SERVER info from an IFRAME[Scanned]
I can understand why somebody would want to capture the information in this way. There are a lot of hosting companies which offer packages that don't necessarily include such stats. I might be wrong - I frequently am :-( - but is it also not the case that by tying this information into sessions you get a better profile of unique visitors to the site which is often difficult to obtain from some of the access logs?

I'm also certain this question has been raised fairly recently on the list.
All mysql_query is going to do is either open up the resource or not. You'll
need to use something else to display the data.
For example:

RE: [PHP] MySQL QUERY Results Not Appearing[Scanned]
Have a look at the mysql functions in the PHP manual - i.e.
http://uk.php.net/mysql_query
I'm also certain this question has been raised fairly recently on the list. All
mysql_query is going to do is either open up the resource or not. You'll need to use
something else to display the data.
For example:
$sql = select * from members;
if(!$result = mysql_query($sql))
echo mysql_error();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['column_name'];
}

Hi all...
Despite being able to make a connection to the server and execute a query I
am unable to do this through PHP using the following commands:
echo h3active members should appear here/h3;
$query = SELECT * FROM RegisteredMembers;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (could not execute query);
echo $result;
Any ideas...?

RE: [PHP] Very strange bug. Opendir/Readdir[Scanned]
Matt,
I've only just started to have a look at this. Having first tried to see if the code

attributable to line 365 including a reference to $srDirectory rather than $rDirectory.
I'll carry on working with it.

Imagine the following:
362class someClass {
363 function someFunction() {
364if($rDirectory = opendir(/templates)) {
365 while(false != ($strFile = readdir($srDirectory))) {
366print $strFile.br /;

368 }
369 }
370}
The class is constructed successfully, the function is called
successfuly, the if($rDirectory = opendir(/templates)) statement
returns true, and the directory most certainly exists, but as soon as an
attempt to read the contents of the directory occurs, the once valid
resource ($rDirectory) becomes invalid:
Warning: readdir(): 36 is not a valid Directory resource in
D:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpSLearningDev\root\components\installer\inc\installer.php
on line 365
if the code is removed from both the class and function, it executes fine.
I am currently working on a Windows 2003 server (not my choice) and an
internal (non network (SMB)) HDD.
I can't imagine that simply being inside a class could cause this.
Am I missing something!?!?!? I regard myself as a fairly proficient PHP
developer, but this one has got a whole dev team stumped.
Any thoughts appreciated.

[PHP] fsockopen connection error on IIS
Hello all,
I'm working with somebody using IIS (honest - it's not me) to try and develop some web
services whereby a site hosted on IIS is able to access data using a nusoap client
with a nusoap server set up on a linux/apache server. I can do this satisfactorily
from another linux/apache server but my colleague is having problems doing this from
IIS.
The main problem seems to be that fsockopen isn't working from their system. We have
tried running the following script:
?php
$fp = fsockopen(www.thehostname.com, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp)
{
echo $errstr ($errno)br /\n;
}
else
{
echo Success;
}
?
But the following error is returned:
Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.thehostname.com:80 in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webservice\fsocktest.php on line 2
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after
a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed
to respond. (10060)
I've searched through a few mailing list archives and the only thing I came across was
the suggestion that the client server is not allowing outgoing connections. Is there
any way of testing this or indeed any other suggestions as to what might be going
wrong.
I confess I feel I'm on extremely thin ice with this - I'm not overly familiar with
nusoap and have no familiarity whatsoever with IIS. Any general pointers would be
extremely welcome.

Michael Egan

I agree with you but when I first looked at this I too thought there was some way of
doing this in php which might look more elegant. Seeing urls such as
www.mydomain.com/index.php?article_id=2id=e5t28er647ryh362hy67eh4563yh4635 looks
fairly cumbersome and I'm sure I've seen something about problems with some of the
search engines where session id's are included in urls.
On seeing that the only way of doing this was to use frames I decided that the costs
of doing this probably outweighed what is in effect a purely cosmetic issue.

Got to agree with Jason's comments - as I'm sure all other regulars on the list will do. I've just had a quick look at the php.net site, done a search for header and halfway down the first page returned found this: Remember that header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP. It is a very common error to read code with include(), or require(), functions, or another file access function, and have spaces or empty lines that are output before header() is called.

[PHP] Structuring keyword searches
I'd better apologize at the outset as I'm not sure this is strictly a PHP problem - though I'm using PHP as the means of building the application. Anyway, here goes: I'm creating a website that will function as a directory of services within a specific area of the UK charity sector. A variety of groups will input the content via a custom built CMS and this content will then be available to the general public. One of the requirements is that a keyword search facility is built into the application allowing end users to search for services based on a variety of words they might associate with them. What I propose to do is have a separate table of keywords/phrases that have been previously entered by contributors. There will then be a separate table linking the id field of the associated keywords with the id field of the service in question. Herein lies the problem. The contributors will be presented with a multi-part form. When it comes to the stage at which they will need to enter the relevant keywords for a service there seem to me to two ways of dealing with this: 1. Allow the contributors to enter whatever keywords and phrases they wish. 2. Only allow contributors to have access to a restricted set of keywords/phrases. The first of these options would run the risk of creating an unmanageably large and devalued set of keywords/phrases. The second option would seem to result in a set of keywords that are too generalized to be of much benefit to the ultimate end users. Are there any accepted approaches to tackling such a problem which anyone could point me towards? I'm sure it must have been encountered before though I've been unable to find much on this after extensive googling and searching through mailing list archives.

RE: [PHP] How can i print out the files in a directory?[Scanned]
Bas,
I think the following should work though it might need some tweaking as it's some
weeks since I did:
$dir = directoryname;
$dp = opendir($dir);
$filenames = array();
while($file = readdir($dp))
{
array_push($filenames, $file);
}
// Compile an array of the files
for($i = 0; $i count($filenames); $i ++)
{
if(!(is_dir($dir/$filenames[$i])))
{
echo $filenames[$i].br;
}
}
You can probably print out the filenames at the first stage - I think there was a
reason why I was passing them into a separate array but I've forgotten what it was!!

RE: [PHP] Retaining formatting problem[Scanned]
I've experienced the same problem. It's not that the line returns disappear - they will still be retained but stored as /n or /r. You'll need to find a way of replacing the line breaks with a html paragraph break - assuming your required output is html. Perhaps some of the regexp functions will help in this - I haven't got the code I used for this to hand.

RE: [PHP] passwd protected page[Scanned]
Bibhas, I've seen many references to the phpBB application on this list in the past and had a look at it in detail some weeks ago. It's a fairly large application but the way they deal with sessions is instructive. If I've understood it correctly they don't use the session management features in PHP but create their own. When a user visits the site a session is created with a unique identifier. This is then stored in a sessions table in the database. The session ID is passed to other pages as the user visits them either by use of cookies or by appending the session id to each url. If the user logs in then the user id is also stored in the relevant sessions table and other information about the user is pulled from a users table for that user id. If you download the application - www.phpbb.com - you'll find the relevant code in the sessions file within the includes directory - though they have recently upgraded the application so this might have changed.

[PHP] Checking for existing records
Hello all, I'm looking for the sort of programming inspiration I suspect I won't find in manuals - I have checked the web first! When saving records to a table I generally do a fairly standard check to ensure that there is not already a record of the same name. I even put a big warning message on the page asking users to check to ensure that a record of a particular name doesn't already exist before they create a new record. But this hasn't stopped entries such as the following: Record x: The Prince's Trust Record y: The Princes Trust Record z: the Prince's Trust Two of these were entered as consecutive records by the same person! I know I won't be able to make any application entirely foolproof but are there any steps I could use within the combination of MySQL and PHP that might minimize such duplication?

RE: [PHP] Checking for existing records[Scanned]
Thanks Daniel. I think the approach I'll settle for will be to do an initial check to make sure that no record of exactly the same name exists and then look through the records to see if there are any similar records using the similar_text() function. I'll present the records from the second stage to the user to prompt them to see if they really want to add the record name they have just entered. If there are any improvements to this I'll be happy to take them on board. I confess that by far and away my preferred solution would be to get the staff of the section using the application to put their brains into gear before using it - but I suppose if everybody did this some of us might be out of a job.

Another possibility would be to find a list of commonly misspelled/misused words like (there, their, they're) and substitute all possibilities with one version for the purposes of checking the title. Also removing stop words like (the, of, and) and then comparing titles would be a good method. Hint: lots of these methods are used in Keyword finding algorithms. You might also make the process more interactive for your users. If you find a title through the above methods that seems like a hit present it to the user and say: The following records were already found in the system, please verify that the record you are adding is unique.

I might be missing something but just looking at the top few lines of your code the

The loop will run on howver many times corresponds to this value - with the value

You'll need to pass in a value from elsewhere.

RE: [PHP] newbie[Scanned]
Robin, There really are a huge amount of resources on the web for this. The PHP online manual itself is good for reference but for step by step guides you might want something different. I came across a fairly comprehensive guide on developing PHP based databases at: www.keithjbrown.co.uk/vworks/php/ - though I confess I haven't worked my way through it. Personally I like to have something in hard copy to work my way through. There are a wide range of books about PHP - with a number from Wrox that I tend to use a lot - see www.wrox.com. There's one called 'Beginning PHP' that will take you through all you need to get started. Good luck, Michael -Original Message- From: Robin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 March 2003 08:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] newbie[Scanned] Hello Please could somebody point me in the right direction for learning about PHP?

RE: [PHP] Re: Checking for empty values sent from a form[Scanned]
Have you tried echoing out the $query just to ensure that all the expected values are
being passed to this?
If the old_email field is blank I think it will carry out the update but no rows will
be affected.

[PHP] XHTML Validator Problem
I've finally got round to making some attempt to validating the pages of a site I've done with PHP using the W3C XHTML Validator. However, it's throwing out errors wherever I use session control on pages.

Examples of the error messages generated by the validator are given below: Line 154, column 102: cannot generate system identifier for general entity PHPSESSID ...u' href='competitions.php?option=addPHPSESSID=888a059dbc17855c09885c3ea978df ^ Line 154, column 102: general entity PHPSESSID not defined and no default entity (explain... http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html). ...u' href='competitions.php?option=addPHPSESSID=888a059dbc17855c09885c3ea978df ^ These are the only error messages left - having dealt with the dozens of others left in through my own sloppy coding :-( I'm not sure how to tackle this given that these elements of the page are generated automatically.

RE: [PHP] newbie: help with date arithmetic[Scanned]
Robert, I've been looking at this myself over the past couple of days. I gather the best approach is to convert your dates into UNIX timestamps. For example: $first_unix_time = mktime($hour1, $minutes1, $seconds1, $month1, $day1, $year1); $second_unix_time = mktime($hour2, $minutes2, $seconds2, $month2, $day2, $year2); Subtract the one from the other to give the difference: $difference = $first_unix_time - $second_unix_time; The result will be in seconds so you'll need to convert this depending on the format you require. For example, to convert the difference to years you might do: $years = floor($difference / (365 * 24 * 60 * 60)); Hope this helps, Michael Egan -Original Message- From: ROBERT MCPEAK [mailto:RMCPEAK;jhuccp.org] Sent: 12 November 2002 15:31 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] newbie: help with date arithmetic[Scanned] I'm trying to add/subract two dates.

I've only had a quick glance at this but from the code you've posted you don't seem to
be associating a variable with the hidden field you're referring to in the

You need to store the amount in a variable and then refer to the variable in the value

RE: [PHP] Wrap content with a layout file
I generally do the same - have a header and footer file which create a three column table. The content then fits into the central column. Other ways of doing this might be to use frames (though many disapprove of frames) or to use the iframe tag - the latter is something I only recently became aware of but can be quite useful and is not as messy as frames.

Warwick, There are different ways of compiling PHP which will determine which elements it can support. The first error you report shows that the particular build of PHP being used hasn't been compiled to create images from JPEGS.

That would cause the script to be executed with permissions of the web server, and for security, that is generally prohibited by the ISP (we are the ISP). The only exception to that rule is public scripts which reside in: safe_mode_exec_dir = /host/runphp and are thus allowed to execute with permissions of the web server. To provide for the execution of private user CGIs, each user has their own /cgi directory. Apache is configured to recognize /cgi in any URL as an executable CGI, and wraps all user CGIs with SuEXEC, to run them with permissions of the user, not the web server. But of course that means user scripts are accessible via URL. So the question remains, how to limit their access. As the ISP, we could use any feature of the web server for our own CGIs, but we intentionally avoid that. We have a hosting environment with a rich set of customer accessible tools, and we demonstrate that fact by using only those tools ourselves. IOW, we use what we sell.

You missed a related discussion by just a few days. But here is a
summary of it ...
To initialize a session and force the browser to inject the PHPSESSID
string into the url of every page, including the first, use this code
in the very first page (and only the very first page!)
?
$PHP_SELF = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
session_start();
if (!session_is_registered('vsid')) {
session_register('vsid');
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['vsid'] = session_id();
$sidurl = Location: $PHP_SELF . '?' . SID;
header($sidurl);
exit();
}
remaining code on first page
?
And then use this code on all pages you link to:
?
session_start();
remaining code
?
This approach has another benefit too:
On all pages you link to after the first, you can test the value of
vsid to see if it matches the value of PHPSESSID. That way, you can
determine whether the user reached the other pages by going through
the initial page. If not, you can reject the request with a message
like improper request or something similar.
In your php.ini, use:
variables_order = ECGPS
to make GET data override cookie data, and use:
session.use_trans_sid = 1
to have PHP inject the PHPSESSID string into document links (PHP also
needs a compile flag set, for this .ini value to work). And to turn
off cookies, use:
session.use_cookies = 0
Or if you have permission for setting these values in an .htaccess
file, then in .htaccess you can use:
php_value session.use_cookies 0
php_value session.use_trans_sid 1
php_value variables_order ECGPS
Hope that helps!

You mean B2C? Can small business live from that? I'm afraid not! Maybe I am wrong. :-) 100 years ago you could easily do business without a telephone. But what percentage of businesses today operate without a telephone? A web presence with web commerce will become a utility like the telephone. Having it will be more important than measuring artificial distinctions between B2C vs. B2B. Look at all the large corporations bleeding money and cutting staff. Mega-corporations are in decline, and their era is ending. Long live the small business! What? Large business are being affected because the whole networking business is in recession. Large corporations don't know you or care about you as an individual customer. You're just an account number to them. The only thing they care about is the big sale to other big corporations. But even then, do they really care? Not in my experience. The networking recession is just one symptom of their disease. Why would anyone want to do business that way? If I can find a small business that sells the service or product I need, that's who gets my business first. If people ask how large my company is, I tell them We're large enough to handle your business, and small enough to care.

As far as I can recall, this recession started when a mean judge convicted Microsoft for anti-trust practices. That caused NASDAQ crash that scared people away from investing in tech company stocks. One mean judge all by himself, caused the NASDAQ crash, eh? I am surely astounded to learn that! Good day and goodbye!

True enough, for now. Steam locomotives were an impressive technology, deeply entrenched with 100 years or more of history. They did not disappear from railroads overnight. But when the railroads realized it was cheaper to operate diesel locomotives, the end of the steam era was just a matter of time.

There is a vast market for web developers who use free software tools like Linux/Apache/PHP, and offer their services to small businesses at modest rates.

Here is what I use for Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover. Feel free
to improve it by adding other card types:
