RE: [PHP] Text Parser

$items = house , ball , door , roof , floor;
$itemsexploded = Explode( , , $items);
$itemsimploded = ' . implode(',',$itemsexploded) . ';

That should do it. The only weird bit is adding the single quotes to the
beginning and end of the final string.
You could also do a str_replace()
?
$items = house , ball , door , roof , floor;
$finalitems = ' . Str_replace( , , ',', $items) . ';
?
And of course you can do regex stuff, but I'm not good at that so I'll leave an
example to someone else if they care to give one.
Just remember, explode() creates an array out of items based on a set of
characters you tell it are the divider. If you had a tab delimited text file,
you'd want to break on \t (for tab).
Implode() does the opposite. It takes an array and joins the items using the
string you give it. This is good for things like what you're doing above, but
in this case a simple str_replace() works just as good too.

Hi there..
A newbie issue:
I´m receiving this: house , ball , door , roof , floor
And I want to obtain this: 'house','ball','door','roof','floor'
Maybe, I should use implode or explode, but I just can´t
figure out how..

RE: [PHP] Re: Browsing while downloading?
Yeah, this isn't a PHP specific problem, BUT, in the off chance that PHP could solve the problem (using a different method of sending to the browser, etc) then it becomes PHP relevant... So everyone give the guy a break on the relevance issue. If there were two ways of doing something and you only know one, wouldn't you want to ask if there was a second, better way, that didn't cause the problem you were having? Anyway.. Yeah, this might not be avoidable, although when you click on a link to download a file you can usually still continue browsing, so I'm guessing that there IS another way to do this. Couple of thoughts: 1. Have you tried smaller files just as a test (something that takes like 30 to 60 seconds to download maybe) just to see if you still have the problem? 2. Is it feasible to create the file and provide a click here to download or right-click and select SAVE AS.. to download? This might force the browser to handle it more like a standard download and not handle it as if it were loading a web page. 3. Speaking of loading as a web page, are you getting a download progress bar or does the browser just keep spinning with it's normal I'm loading a web page progress bar? If that was happening, it could be an issue of setting a good MIME type (what was it, like octet/stream or something that's a generic this is a binary file mime type?). If your browser thinks its downloading HTML, that could lock it up. 4. Lastly... I've noticed when my browser is locked up for whatever reason, that you can usually open another instance of the browser. Going to your desktop and double-clicking on the Internet Explorer icon again, etc. This second copy of IE seems to operate in a different memory space... As a different program. So if you crash or lock up the other instance, as long as you're not grinding your CPU or maxing out your memory, the second instance of IE or whatever should still work ok. I've had IE crash, with a End Program type propt and have other instances of IE be fine. But all the IE windows opened from the original window get nuked by the End Program function. Hope this helps at least a little. I'm guessing there's a way to make it download without freezing your IE and I'm guessing it may have something to do with your headers and/or MIME type. If that doesn't work, I'd investigate creating the file and letting the user click a link to download it, forcing the browser to handle it how it sees fit.

I have two servers: ServerA and ServerB. One server serves

other serves mail. I am making a web page on ServerA that
will access
ServerB to find out if a users exists and if not then add
that user to
ServerB with information collected from the web page on ServerA.
I have this in a php file:
$idResults = `ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 21`;
echo id: (.$idResults.)\r\n.\r\n;
if (ereg(no such user, $idResults)) {
echo 'username is available!';
}
When I access the page I get:
Could not create directory '/nonexistent/.ssh'.
Host key verification failed.
This, of course, is because the script is being run as www

place to put ssl keys.
Could this be solved by having www su to a user who has
remote access
privileges? Something like this:
$idResults = `su admin | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] id bigbob 21`;
echo id: (.$idResults.)\r\n.\r\n;

RE: [PHP] Date Manipulation
In addition to Matthew's response... Strtotime() and mktime() both return a serial date. That's the 1101945775 number you got. To get this back to a mmdd format that you seem to be trying to do with mktime(), you want to use date() as Matthew suggested. Again, I think examples help more than RTFM: date(Ymd,strtotime(now)); mktime() and strtotime() produce the same output which is not a human-readable date format. So basically, in your example below, you told it that you wanted: The serial date (mktime()) of hour Ymd (evaluates as 0 I believe), minute 1101945775, with seconds, month, day and year all empty. I think the leaving them empty is ok since they're optional from right to left, and the excessive number of minutes probably wouldn't be a big deal (unless it goes past the maximum date rate, which looks like what it's doing). Let's do a quick calc: Looks like the max number that mktime() can produce is: 2147483647 This is 1/18/2038 22:14:07 If you take your serial date 1101945775 and pipe it into the minutes section of mktime(), it'll produce that number times 60 (60 seconds in a minute) and try to get that date. This produces a number: 66116746500 Significantly bigger than the max serial date for Windows mentioned above. Long answer to maybe help you understand how it all works. Btw: The serial date is the number of seconds since the beginning of the Unix Epoch (# of secs since January 1, 1970 that is... Hey, time's gotta start somewhere eh?)

RE: [PHP] Date Manipulation
As was already mentioned, mktime() and strtotime() both return a serial date. I use mktime() a lot to add/subtract days and such. It automatically compensates for leap days and all that. Example: ?php $month = 1; $day = 31; $year = 2004; $serialdate = mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day + 1,$year); echo date(m/d/Y, $serialdate); ? This should output 2/1/2004 (unless I made a typo). The initial 0,0,0 are the hour, minute, second. It works equally well with any numbers you give it for any of those values and if you throw it back into the date() function, you can format the outputted date however you want. I know mktime and strtotime were already mentioned, but I think examples help too so pardon me for expanding on it. -TG -Original Message- From: Christopher Weaver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 9:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Date Manipulation I've looked at the date functions in the manual but can't find what I need.

RE: [PHP] Custom Open Tags
I think there's a way to redefine what tag PHP uses, but I think it globally resets it. I don't think you can say use !blah ! and also use ?php ?. I think that setting is in PHP.INI somewhere. It might be easier to change your to be executed later php tags to something else and before it's sent to it's final destination, do a string replace to change the tags. If you have two different servers, you might go into PHP.INI and set the following tag on the last server and turn it OFF on the first server: ; Allow ASP-style % % tags. asp_tags = Off I'm not sure, but that may allow you to use ?php ? AND % % tags at the same time. All in all, I think I'd try to find a better way than using two kinds of tags and trying to jury-rig PHP to only execute some of it. Even if it meant using a conditional on the tags to be executed later if (!$finalexecute) ... and just change that value at the top of your code or something. Sounds messy all around, but there seem to be a number of ways you could possibly do this. -TG -Original Message- From: Sven Schwyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 4:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Custom Open Tags Hi folks Does anybody know whether there's a way to tell PHP to accept an alternative open tag like for instance ?mytag or ?mc along with the normal ?php tag?

RE: [PHP] Is there a shorthand way to...?
I didn't see this in any of the responses, and truthfully it's not the
best way or most secure.. .basically it has a lot of flaws that you
should watch out for (probably creates security issues more than any
other thing) but another option for mass setting variables that are
possible set or not is to use extract()
Extract() will take all the array items and assign the values to the
keys:
$_POST['courses_list'] = 'Used';
Extract($_POST);
Becomes...
$courses_list == 'Used'
But if $_POST['courses_list'] isn't set, then you get no $courses_set
variable.
If you do end up using this, pay attention to variables that you havn't
used yet that might be used later on. If a variable isn't set, in this
case, if $courses_list isn't set, then extract() will put the value of
$_POST['courses_list'] into $courses_list. If it IS set, and you use
one of the extract() parameters, you can make it NOT overwrite the
current $courses_list. Which may be a good idea to prevent someone from
over-writing one of your security related variables.
I only mention this because I think it can be very useful. I wouldn't
be as concerned with $_POST variables as I would with $_GET variables.
You don't want to make it so someone can go:
Yourscript.php?userauthneticated=1
Then do:
Extract($_GET);
Then you have...
$userauthenticated == 1
If you then have something like:
If ($userauthenticated) {
# Some code that allows user to edit or view personal stuff,
demographics, passwords
# etc... Or even make changes to a database or other security
related stuff
}
That would be bad.
You may still end up having to do a isset($courses_list) to decide what
to do with the info later, but if you end up with 100 $_POST variables,
then extract() might help break those out for ya.

Say you start with some lines like this: $TZs[]='US/Alaska'; $TZs[]='US/Aleutian'; $TZs[]='US/Arizona'; You'd record a macro in Crimson Editor that does this: (1) place cursor here and start RECORD MACRO$TZs[]='US/Alaska'; (2) Hold CTRL-SHIFT and tap RIGHT ARROW until you get to just before the US and hit DELETE this is what you have nowUS/Alaska'; (3) hit END to go to the end of line and delete two characters US/Alaska You now have just your timezone... You may have a list like this already though. (4) hit the down arrow to put you at the beginning of the next line$TZs[]='US/Aleutian'; End macro recording. Now all you have to do is hold down (in Crimson Editor) the ALT-Macro# key (I reuse ALT-1 constantly) until it finishes doing these actions to all lines. (5) Copy and paste this list into Excel or something Now after you get your numbers in Excel and you've adjusted for the odd timezones. You'd do another macro like this: US/Alaska+1 US/Aleutian +2 US/Arizona +3 (when you paste from Excel into Crimson Editor, you should have TABs between the names and TZ #'s... Note, the TZ offsets listed above aren't accurate, just using numbers as examples. There's no way Alaska is 1 hour ahead of GMT) (1) position cursor at beginning of line againUS/Alaska+1 (2) Enter something like: $tz[ So you end up with: $tz[US/Alaska +1 (2) in this case, you can't just go to the END of the line and cursor back X # of characters or even tab back. +1 and +3.5 are too different tab-wise.. So maybe we'd do a FIND for + and hit DELETE to remove the +. (3) After you do the FIND and DELETE, your cursor should be just to the left of the number. Hit BACKSPACE to remove the tab, now you're in a good position to continue your array building: $tz[US/Alaskacursor is here1 (4) Enter some middle line stuff: $tz[US/Alaska] = cursor is here1 (5) Now finish the line. Hit END to take you to the end of the line, enter a semicolon, then cursor down and HOME to take you to the beginning of the next line so you can do it all over again. $tz[US/Alaska] = 1; cursor is now hereUS
RE: [PHP] getting the highest number in 3 db fields?
If we're trying to get the max value between 3 columns in a row like this: Prolog transmodal asian 1 2 3 We'd want to get the value 3 If you wanted to get the max out of three values in a row, you might do something like this: SELECT MAX(prolog, transmodal, asian) FROM sometable I think that'd work. But then there's mention of row1 vs row2 vs row3.. So I guess I'm confused. In which case, if we're looking at: NameValue - Prolog 1 Transmodal 2 Asian 3 Then you'd do something like this: SELECT Name, Max(Value) FROM sometable group by Name You can do this in PHP as well, but make the DB server do all the work. :) -TG -Original Message- From: Dennis Seavers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 1:46 AM To: Louie Miranda Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] getting the highest number in 3 db fields?

Subject: [PHP] Timezones
Hi,
I have a legacy PHP3 system and a MySQL DB with two tables:
user {
user_id int,
timezone varchar (like Europe/Brussels, US/Eastern,
America/New_York, etc.)
}
and
messages {
msg_id int,
user_id int,
date int
}
When a user submits a message, my PHP script (using time() function)
stores the submission time in messages.date field. However
this value is
not the server's system time but shifted according the users timezone.
1. How can I convert it to reflect my timezone (ex. GMT)? Is
there a way
to find the offset between two timezones given in long format
as in my
table?
2. I would appreciate any information on how the PHP/Apache
handles the
timezone offset when calculating the time. Which of the PHP date/time
functions take into consideration the environment variable TZ
(upon user
login there is putenv('TZ='.user_get_timezone()); command)?
Thank you in advance,
Venelin

RE: [PHP] mp3 parsing
Nice script.. Short and concise. Havn't tested it yet, but I like short

One thing to note.. This appears to handle ID3v1 tags (which are
stored at the beginning of the file). ID3v2 tags are stored at the end
of the MP3 and are a little trickier to deal with but they can hold a
lot more information. Check out this:

Havn't used it, but it's the first one I came across doing this search:

I'm sure you can find a ton of ID3 parsers for PHP. Just wanted to
point out that there are at least two standards for ID3 tags and that
you should probably check into both if you want full compatibility.

I use Crimson Editor which will save directly to an FTP location fairly easily. I'm not sure if they fixed this, but in earlier versions it wouldn't save a local backup copy and I ran into problems where it would fail to send via FTP, I'd have a zero byte file on the remote web server and would close Crimson Editor without testing first or something.. So I'd lose whatever edits I did since my last backup. So I stopped using the Save to FTP feature. I do believe that they do local backups now, but out of habit I don't use the FTP Feature.

RE: [PHP] PHP Supremacy...
Thanks for the link. Here's one relating to Yahoo's use of PHP: http://public.yahoo.com/~radwin/talks/yahoo-phpcon2002.htm Also, out of curiosity I recently did a search trying to find some numbers comparing ASP usage to PHP usage. Market dominance and penetration and such. I didn't look too long and didn't find any GREAT sites with hard numbers, but here's some random tidbits I came across. I don't have time to figure out which of the links I bookmarked I got the info from, so forgive the rough numbers and paraphrasing. There seemed to be a 2003 survey of IT professionals (as well as another source or two) that seemed to indicate the following: Roughly 1/3 of the web servers on the internet these days run IIS Roughly 2/3 run Apache in some fashion Ok, so I'm rounding a little.. There were a smattering of other web servers of course, but let's work with these numbers as an example. Roughly 40-50% of the Apache guys were running PHP as their primary scripting language (at least for web authoring). Assuming that 100% of the IIS guys run ASP or ASP.NET (which isn't a great assumption, but let's make it anyway). That'd put IIS + ASP at roughly 1/3 market penetration and Apache + PHP at roughly 1/3. When I think of Microsoft vs Other, especially open source, I feel like that even if it's close, it's going to be a 60/40 or 70/30 sort of split in MS's favor, not a dead 50/50 sort of deal. So these kind of stats are VERY encouraging for anyone who needs to make the argument to their boss regarding how popular PHP is, if it's going to be around for a while (see other responses for ammo on that argument, I agree with all of them so far) and if there are going to be people to support your PHP apps if you die, quit, get fired, join a monestary, etc. There can't be that many Apache + PHP based servers without a corresponding number of developers. There aren't 20 PHP developers doing all the work and 100,000 ASP developers doing the same amount of work in ASP. There was another thread earlier this week though talking about justifying the use of PHP and another great point was brought up. What do you use for your main servers currently... What do the other developers you possibly work with already know versus would have to learn, what other applications do you have an what languages are THEY written in, etc. There are a lot more questions that need to be asked in order to justify PHP development. If you have a bunch of .NET developers and already have some ASP.NET applications, then it might be more cost effective for you, a single person, to learn ASP.NET (I know, I'd hate to give up PHP too), then to have 5 other people learn PHP and then convert existing applications over to PHP, etc. ASP and ASP.NET are free, just like PHP.. If you already run MS servers. The good development tools might be another story, but if you have Windows XP (Pro I believe), then you have IIS and can run ASP and maybe ASP.NET. If you have Windows 95 or Windows 98, you have Personal Web Server which will do ASP. I think open source means a more guarenteed support base and backward compatibility compared ot MS's whim of the day deciding that things like J++ weren't viable to support, for example. Sure, there are still J++ developers and user groups and such, but it only lasts so long before someone says This is antiquated, we need to move to something else. Sure, eventually most of us will have to port our PHP4 stuff to PHP5 PHP changes too.. But it's less dramatic than going from J++ to C# or something. Anyway, I'm babbling now. Just some things to think about. Keep fighting the good fight. Keep asking the right questions.

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] PHP Supremacy...
GT Roughly 1/3 of the web servers on the internet these days run IIS GT Roughly 2/3 run Apache in some fashion I know you said roughly, but it's less than 1/3 running IIS, quite a bit less infact. The latest Nov. 2004 Netstat survey puts it at well under a quarter (21.25% to be exact) with Apache at 67.77% http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/11/01/november_2004_web_server_su rvey.html Yeah.. roughly hah. I'm sticking to that phrase. :) And yes, Netcraft was one of the sites I was looking at for the information I mentioned earlier. Thanks for the link. Ok, let's also assume that 100% of the IIS sites out there use ASP, that's still only 11.9 million sites which doesn't give them an equal market share in my books :) Ahh.. What about +/- ?? % margin of error? (devil's advocate hah) The problem of course is that while all IIS hosted sites have the ABILITY to use ASP, I would be utterly stunned if anywhere near half of those actually did. Just in the same way that while all Apache servers *could* run PHP if they wanted, I'd be amazed if all site owners used it. There are millions and millions of static HTML sites out there, I don't think you can accurately gauge it on server software alone. I know that you weren't trying to, but I'm just saying. Agreed. Very good point. GT ASP and ASP.NET are free, just like PHP.. If you already run MS GT servers. The good development tools might be another story, It's the total cost of ownership though. True. Then let's look at average salary of a Windows server admin versus un*x server admin. I'd be curious to see how they stacked up. That'd have to be part of your total cost of ownership as well. Unless you were totally starting from scratch and were doing it all yourself (learning whatever tech you needed to learn to get it all done). Then you'd have to factor in how much maintenance time each OS required on a regular basis, etc. Too much math for me right now. But in general, I think it's fair to say that free OS + free scripting + free web server probably beast out pricey OS + free scripting + free web server. But something has to be factored in for we need this OS for other things/requirements too. That's a bigger and more complicated question. I don't know anyone who has set up a server specifically for web hosting and no other purpose (ok, before you jump on me about people having dedicated web servers... Chances are, they have other servers on the same network that handle ActiveDirectory, DNS, mail, etc and their web server choice was highly influenced by their choice in other servers.. Please take my above statement as one server, one function, no other influences or something. The phrasing I want isn't coming to me right now so I'm going to be lazy and send it out just like this.. Hah). In general I do agree though. Total cost of ownership is PROBABLY less with free OS + free scripting + free web server. Look at the number of IIS related security issues on Netcraft, Bugtraq, etc. Even with a 20% market share it's still got more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese, although I dare say the majority of those are down to using Windows as the host OS in the first place. True.. Not like other OS's DON'T have security issues though. Running Sendmail on your un*x box with Apache + PHP? Running SunOS or IRIX? How about the recent Mac OS X un*x based security issues? Again, devil's advocate I'm not a huge MS fan, but it's not like they're the only OS and general platform that provides security issues. PHP and Apache have had their share. Maybe MS has more in general, or maybe certain bits of MS's collection of apps have had more, but how does that add up to all the little ones that various un*x components have had? How do you quantify how vulnerable or unstable is your OS?? It seems like MS might be more vulnerable, but how would you honestly measure that? I'm not trying to start that holy platform war here, I'm just saying IIS could be the most awesome piece of coding ever, but it'll still always fall foul to that which it sits upon. Yup.. I agree. Again, I'm not trying to start any holy wars either. I use whatever OS or scripting language or whatever you put in front of me. I have my favorites, but there's good stuff in most systems. And I don't take your comments as being flaming or antagonistic at all. But the question remains in my mind, how does someone really, fairly, measure all this stuff and give an accurate comparison between the various system setups and configurations? I don't care to find out really. I let the evengelical users of one system or another go on about how great their system is (even PHP) and usually stay out of the discussions that I feel are more opinion based than hard-facts based. Whatever people choose to use is cool with me. I have my reasons for using what I use.. And so do they. Whatever gets the job done eh? Best regards, Richard Davey
RE: [PHP] Help: Database Search
You can't do WHERE Industry = 1, 2, 3 unless that's something you can
do in MySQL but not the other DB's I've used.
What you CAN do is us IN:
WHERE Industry IN (1, 2, 3)
Or..
WHERE Industry IN ('1','2','3')
IN basically does a Industry = 1 OR Industry = 2 OR Industry = 3 type
thing.
If there's a more efficient way to do your query, I'd recommend it.
IN or even the multiple OR statements can be very intensive on a
database with a high load or tons of rows. But it's definitely the
right answer for some solutions.
If you have 8 categories for Industry and you're doing IN (1, 2, 3, 4,
5) then you might consider doing a 6, 7, 8 type thing (I'm
guessing you can do NOT IN (6, 7, 8), just never done it). The fewer
things you're checking in your WHERE clause, the less work your DB
server has to do.

Sounds like someone replaced their INDEX.PHP with something else. Short answer: You can get the INDEX.PHP back if you restore it from a backup copy you should have. If you don't have a backup copy, then you can't get it back most likely (unless it's on a system that you can manage to undelete from, but chances are it's been over-written by now). The bigger question is How do we keep someone from replacing our PHP scripts again?. I'd do some research on PHP security. Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities are big these days and many (all? Need to do more research) can be handled by the PHP developer by scrubbing user input sufficiently to make it impossible. Also, keep up with the latest versions of PHP as they tend to patch security issues that are known to exist (can't patch something that nobody's reported though).

RE: [PHP] Column Totals
Because you don't technically 'need' it, unless you're trying to reference the results by column name and you're using an aggregate like that. :) And in most systems, you don't need the AS just a space and a new name: SELECT SUM(Revenue) Revenue FROM Sales Where. But all depends on your style. I don't think the SQL Server or Oracle server I deal with care if you put the AS in there or not. Again, it's not required unless you're relying on a name coming back with the result set, then you might want to be explict with an alias like that. Also, when you use aggregates, remember that they'll they group the non-aggregate functions based on uniqueness. This will happen even if you're not displaying the non-aggregate functions, so you may get repeats of some things that you can get rid of by using SELECT DISTINCT Sum(... But if there's anything non-unique in what you're using in SELECT or WHERE, it'll use that for grouping. This includes the hours, minutes and seconds in a date field sometimes. If the query below worked for you, then I guess it's enough for MySQL (is that what you're using?) but in some systems it may not be and you may get every row in the database non-SUM'd because the dates all have different seconds in the time. In that case, you'd need to section out the day/month/year and compare based on that or something.

If you are looking to have the SQL query string sent as POST vars but don't know how to get those out of the array, I would say you have some RTFMing to do, the same would go for sending the users to your results page AND ( you can do both POST and GET vars for a single page)adding a querystring to the url so that the user could bookmark the url and have a way to return to the same query they specified provided that the database query happens on/in the results page. Ok, I was not aware that both POST and GET can be used at the same time. Yeah, you can do that. GET requests are just where the info is passed via the URL. You don't even need a FORM to do GET variables. Just do scriptname.php?getvar1=Testgetvar2=Test2 Then use $_GET[getvar1] or whatever you named them. You can also use $_REQUEST[] to get any data put into $_GET, $_POST or $_COOKIE (superceding in that order I believe.. That is, it gets all the GET data first, and if there's a POST variable of the same name, it overwrites the GET version... And COOKIE overwrites POST). If that answers any of your questions, great, if not, try planning ahead a little instead of asking the list to write the functionality code for you. Okay, so showing me how something works is now wrong ? No one has shown you code or explained a better method at some function ? This particular post has went way passed its course. Thank you for your help. Probably...Understand that there are a lot of people on here who post a lot of responses and help a lot of people and they have bad days just like everyone else. So while you ask for patience and consideration for your questions, be sure to show some patience and consideration for those who bother to respond. It's a two-way street. I mean, if people got nasty every time someone asked a question that was answered with YOU HAVE REGISTER GLOBALS TURNED OFF NOW!! or other questions that we all probably ran into when we were starting out ourselves, then we'd have a lot of flaming going on here. This is a PHP General mailing list, it should be for general, newbie, etc sort of questions. But the expectation is that the questions being asked were researched some ahead of time as well.

[PHP] Copyright law, how to protect your investment, how to protect your work... Was - RE: [PHP-DB] Please point me in the right direction.......
I'm surprised I havn't seen this question come up before (might have just missed it) but it's an excellent question so forgive the crossposting as it's extremely relevant to coders and those purchasing services of coders. Anyone who's gotten married and hired a wedding photographer is probably familiar with the idea of You can't make your own reprints, the photos are owned by the photographer. What kind of BS is that eh? It was your wedding! You paid the guy, right? I read a really interesting article talking about this a while ago and found out that they key words you want to use (if you want to own what you pay for) are the words work for hire. Usually this would be put in the contract or even on the check you use to pay for the services.. Signing this check constitutes the payee's acknowledgement that the services performed and the final output/art/photos/etc is considered a Work for Hire or something like that. It's not good enough to say All copy rights transfer to the client apparently. How I understand it is this... Any artist (musician, coder, author, painter, etc) has an implicit copyright on whatever they make as soon as they make it. While in the process of making something, it's considered a Work in progress and has additional rights under certain laws (see the Steve Jackson case with the Secret Service about them seizing electronic copies of a game manual that was in progress as a suspected guide to hacking. The electronic copies weren't protected back then whereas a printed copy would have been.. But they may be protected from seizure in legal cases these days... Not sure). Anyway... So you write this code and you own it. Regardless of whether someone paid you to write it. Unless of course you have an intellectual property thing with the company you work for (like I do.. It says whatever I create for the company... On company time... Is theirs). So all those websites and PHP scripts that you set up for people... They're yours. Unless the client specifies that it's a work for hire in your contract or on the check you gotta sign to get your bucks. Now from the client's side of things.. Because we don't always write our own stuff.. It's important to know about this as well so you can protect your investment. I don't know that a coder can legally demand that you stop using their code, but it means that if you want to re-sell what you had developed, you need to clear it with the coder first. A lot of people don't know this stuff and it's hard to find out when someone's pirating code that technically belongs to you.. But it's good to know what rights you do have. Doing a quick search on Yahoo for work for hire and copyright, I found a TON of sites that seem to cover the subject. I don't have time to read them, but at a glance, some of these sounded like good things to check up on: http://www.weblawresources.com/Work-For-Hire-Clause.htm http://www.gigalaw.com/articles/2000/loc-2000-02.html http://www.copylaw.com/new_articles/wfh.html http://repositories.cdlib.org/boaltwp/55/ http://www.keytlaw.com/Copyrights/wfhire.htm http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html http://www.music-law.com/workforhire.html Hope this helps and maybe informs a few people.

RE: [PHP] 'Code Snippets' you couldn't live without
I agree that shorthand is probably bad for, BUT... Greg is absolutely correct. The gist of the post was What do YOU use frequently. His examples were good enough to illustrate the idea. For me, I have a handful of includes that are in most/a lot of my scripts. I'm not going to paste them here because they're rather lengthy (which is why I have them as includes). They include the following: 1. ADOdb + a dbconnect include. I like using ADOdb because for a while I was using MySQL, Oracle AND SQL Server (now mostly just SQL Server, but some Oracle as well). Even though I don't really use ADOdb's full power, I like being able to write standard SQL and use a few prep variables and connect to whereever I need to. I have my connection strings defined in my 'dbconnect' and just say $database = Oracle. Pass the database, the sql string and I also send the report name (I use the APP=$reportname in my connection string so I can identify one of my scripts' processes looking at the process list on the database server). The results come back in an array that I use the same set of commands to parse when it's done.My dbconnect also logs db errors to a text file or alternately logs ALL sql queries (if I set a $verbosity variable). 2. dateconvert - I have a handful of functions to convert from one date format to another. This is helpful in so many ways. Nuff said 3. metrics - Logging script usage by snagging the NT username, user's IP address, time, date, script run, etc Those are the big ones. This kind of topic is kind of useful for the PHP development team as well because if there are functions that people keep writing themselves, then they may be good candidates to make into standard functions. I'm always amazed at how much PHP does already and I'm guessing a lot of those functions came out of someone saying Hey.. We all use this type of function CONSTANTLY.. Can it be built into PHP's core instead of us having to INCLUDE it all the time? -TG -Original Message- From: Greg Donald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] 'Code Snippets' you couldn't live without On Wed, 03 Nov 2004 20:22:14 +0100, Klaus Reimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This may be ok for private projects but otherwise I don't think it's a good idea to create shorthand functions.

RE: [PHP] Php files with .html extension?
That's definitely a good point. I'm curious though, would it really be a significant performance issue? Even if a lot of HTML files are being processed by PHP? I mean, if the PHP parser goes through and never sees a ? Or ?php, does it do any more than just output the file? True, that's something, but is it anything really significant. The only thing I can think of that'd be an issue is, what happens if you have a bad compile of PHP, or what happens to a system after PHP is run 180,000 times? Small programming issues can create minute instability issues for systems. Or in the case of outright memory leaks, sometimes a major issue. That's the only thing that'd really concern me, but it's still definitely a good question to ask. -TG -Original Message- From: Graham Cossey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Php files with .html extension?

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] Php files with .html extension?
True, it doesn't do anything other than output the HTML. But it's that load - scan - determine - output that takes up CPU time and memory. Sure, on most sites it doesn't matter one bit. But on popular sites.. well, you can do the math I'm sure. I guess at the end of the day it comes down to don't do un-necessary things. That goes for your code as well as your server set-up, but it's true to say that if you don't actually need to parse HTML as PHP, then don't. Well yeah. I fully agree. Keep it simple, don't put any more load on a server than you have to, don't run anything you don't have to, don't provide any opportunity for the system to become unstable or slow... if you don't have to. Going on the assumption that someone might have a requirement to use .html, I was wondering what the impact would be. I could see someone wanting to use .html to obscure the fact that they were using PHP scripts (for various reason), but if that's intended as a security measure, then it's classic security through obscurity, which will fool some people, but not the people you really have to worry about. -TG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It's possible to have a script running constantly, but Jay's right. CRON or some other task scheduler would probably be better.

in this case the array $all_names starts with index 0.
I can't put

RE: [PHP] Advanced maths help (for GD image functionality)
Good questions.. Here's some stuff to play with: Heres my maths problems in 2 parts: Problem 1) I need to scale down an image (eg: example.jpg) to height of 120 pixels while maintaining the images proportions. eg: if i have an image of (height and width) 800x600 what would the dimensions be if the height was 120? Proportions can be figured out by doing cross multiplication. Say you're trying to figure out percentages, do something like this: x 75 -x --- 100 185 Multiple cross ways and you get: 185x = 7500 Divide both sides by 185 to get just an x = and you get 40.54. 75 is 40.54% of 185. You can use this to get your proportions for images too. It doesn't have to be 100 at the bottom of that one side. Say you have an image that's 1275 x 852 and you want to create a 120 x Thumbnail. 1275 w 120 w -- x --- 852 h x h 1275x = 102240 (1275 times x = 120 times 852) Divide both sides by 1275 and you get: X = 80.19 Which you might round to 80. So a 1275 x 852 image scale down to 120 x 80. Easy, right? :) Problem 2) After getting the above image now I need the x and y parameters to cut a h120 x w90 thumb *from the center of the image* eg: if from problem 1 the result is an image of 120 x 160 then x=35 and y=125 (I think, i told you i suck at maths.. :-D ) This one's even easier. Using the same 1275 x 852 image: 1275 w - 120 w = 1155 (difference in widths) 1155 / 2 = 577.5 (578 rounded let's say). That's how much space you'll have on either wide width-wise. That'll give you a 120w center cut Do the same with the height: 852 - 90 = 762 762 / 2 = 381 So your top-left pixel to start cutting would be at 578 x 381.

RE: [PHP] Advanced maths help (part 2)
No worries. But here's my thought: 1. You start with an image, getting it's current (original) proportions 2. You figure out the width and height proportions to resize it down to something small 3. Resize image (creating a new image.. At least to send to the browser if not in a file separate from the original..whichever works for you) 4. Take the original image (not the resized one) and clip a little section out of the middle of it to use as a thumbnail as well (or whatever). I think this is what you are aiming for because there are two theories regarding thumbnails: A. Take the original and scale it down.. But this can create an image that doesn't look like anything (if the original had a lot of detail and/or was huge) B. Take a portion of the original (like someone's face out of a scene that really shows their whole body). This can sometimes be fun because it shows a small portion of an image that can make people curious.. Like What the heck is that I'm seeing? I have to see more! I'm not sure if that's what you were planning to do or not. Why don't you detail your intentions and then maybe we can figure out how to best do that. -TG -Original Message- From: Mag [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 2:00 PM To: Gryffyn, Trevor Cc: php php Subject: RE: [PHP] Advanced maths help (part 2) Hi Trevor, Sorry, am just a bit confused myself mostly because I am using a third party script to clip the 120x90 part out of the image...understanding the way the script is written is a little frustrating as it was written for something else and I am trying to adopt it. if you want to try your hand at it tell me and i'll zip up the script and send it to you.

[PHP] RE: [PHP-DB] folder creation in php
It's worth noting that if you're just generating HTML that creates just a regular old HREF pointing to a regular old file, that the web server will handle sending out the proper headers. For example: a href=filename.zipYour Download/a You don't need to do anything special with PHP to make this send correctly and PROBABLY (assuming the web server is configured properly for that filetype) trigger your web browser to do the whole Save As... Thing (again, assuming that your BROWSER is configured to ask what you want to do.. Firefox, for example, will automatically download to your desktop on a windows box by default). If, for example, you generated html like this though: a href=datasendscript.php?id=1234Your Download/a Then your datasendscript.php would have to generate the proper headers. -TG -Original Message- From: Dylan Barber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 2:52 PM To: Gryffyn, Trevor Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] folder creation in php you need to send headers to tell the os what the page is like mime type etc. look on the PHP documentation -Original Message- From: Gryffyn, Trevor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Oct 12, 2004 1:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Adil [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] folder creation in php The browser will automatically do this when you click on a link to a file that the web browser knows as a file that you download versus HTML or text being sent to the browser where it's just displayed instead of triggering the download prompt.

But the deal is, you just need to create a link that when clicked on, sends the browser something other than HTML or text or a known picture format (you might have to send headers declaring the MIME type too...

RE: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] folder creation in php
Yeah, I mentioned some of those problems in my email. What I didn't consider was that the content disposition headers could get around the browser's configured behavior. I found this page: http://forums.devshed.com/t7307/s.html Which recommends using: header(Content-Type: application/octet-streamn); I guess if you give it a MIME type that the browser is almost always going to try to download instead of telling it (as the person initially did in this example): header(Content-Type: application/PDFfile); Where the browser might want to try to get clever and do something other than download it. Good things to keep in mind though. Sounds like all he wants to do really is to open a file dialog, not necessarily even download a file (??) In which case, the input type=file would actually work. I don't know.. Again, head foggy today. Good stuff to think about though. -TG -Original Message- From: Ben Ramsey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 3:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] folder creation in php Trevor Gryffyn wrote: It's worth noting that if you're just generating HTML that creates just a regular old HREF pointing to a regular old file, that the web server will handle sending out the proper headers.

If the file is a CSV file and you don't pass the proper headers (and the proper MIME types are not configured in your Web server), then it may try to display the file as plain text in the browser. I could list other examples. Also, depending on your browser (*ahem* IE), the browser will try to open many file types in the browser without prompting for download. Plus, if you use a PHP script to generate content and you want a user to download it, often times, they will end up downloading a file of the name generate-content.php for every single download. With the Content-Disposition header, you can avoid these situations and force the browser to prompt the user to download the file with the correct filename you specify. -- Regards, Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Newbie array problem
I definitely think implode() is the better way to do this, but if you
DID have to loop through an array, isn't it easier to do Foreach
($array as $item)?
In this case, requiring the ; between them (and choosing not to use
implode) you could do something like this:
Foreach ($array as $count=$item){
if ($count == 0) {
$display = $item;
} else {
$display = ;$item;
}
}
If you were using an associative array, you could use a $i type counter
to determine if you're at the first element or not.
Much less code and I never saw the point in using a while loop for
arrays.
Just something to think about. Both ways work fine and as much as
things come down to style, they are also equally weighted by what the
programmer is familiar with and confortable with.

True, you'd have to run it on the web client end, but you can run IE on the server to access the HTML the server is err..serving. The server can also be a client, in other words. So your server can generate a thumbnail of what it's serving out by acting as a client for a second.

[PHP] Microsoft Support - RE: [PHP] Instal or config this package UnxUtils.zip under windows
First let me say that I'm a Microsoft product fan. Yeah, I do like their products. I like many *nix products and Mac products as well. Basically I'll use whatever's in front of me, but I prefer Microsoft products in a lot of cases, with all of it's flaws and whatnot. (as an avid Firefox user, PHP developer and user of many non-Microsoft products as well) With all that said.. I have to relay a joke I heard once (commence groaning): A helicopter was flying around above Seattle yesterday when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and communications equipment. The pilot was now unable to determine the helicopter's position and course to steer to the airport. He saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, drew a handwritten sign, and held it against the helicopter's window. The pilot's sign said WHERE AM I? in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, by drawing a large sign and holding it up in the building window. Their sign said YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER. The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to the Seattle airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the co-pilot asked the pilot how that sign helped determine their position. The pilot responded, I knew that had to be the MICROSOFT building in Redmond, because they gave me a technically correct, but completely useless answer.

PHP can be run from the command line, in which case the GET and POST
arrays wouldn't exist. I use this functionality so that I can take
advantage of Pear's DataObjects when I need to do a flat file data
load. Also, imagine if you had a database of URL's that you wanted to
dissect for it's component information?
That being said, I'm not aware of a PHP function that performs this
operation for you. I remember writing a similar one in Perl many
years ago, that was something like:
(sorry for the pseudocode, I figure completely wrong is better than
almost right)
array = regexp_split (/[=]/, uri) // where uri is everything
after the ?
for (i = 0; i count(array); i += 2) {
url_var[array[i]] = array[i+1] // You may want to do a
urldecode here
}
I believe php lets you name vars by adding an additional $ before the
name, such as:
$varname = thing;
$$varname = data;
echo $thing // Produces 'data'
This may be a good starting point.

RE: [PHP] OK ... WHY does this work ?????
Read over some of the examples at:
http://us4.php.net/types.array
If you don't set a key, PHP starts with '0' and increments as you add
more elements to the array.
If you have NOTICEs turned on, I believe you'll get a notice saying
that $arrlevels[99] doesn't exist. It's not a fatal error, so PHP just
passes over it and doesn't say anything unless you tell it to.
# One dimensional array
$arrlevels = array(1,2,3);
# Three dimensional array. $lvl_guest is a key and 'levelname' is a key

Very nice solution, Dave. I like simple, elegant and effective
solutions like this. I was wracking my brain yesterday to come up with
something like this, but my brain wasn't working. Hah. Good job!
I think your compass directions are a bit off though.hah. West
shouldn't be 0 degrees, it should be 270 normally (unless someone's
using a compass system that I'm not familiar with).
Here's a variation of your script that displays all 360 degrees (for
validation purposes):
$compass =
array(N,NNE,NE,NEE,E,SEE,SE,SSE,S,SSW,SW,SWW,W
,NWW,NW,NNW);
for ($degrees=0;$degrees360;$degrees++) {
$compcount = round($degrees / 22.5);
$compdir = $compass[$compcount];
echo $degrees degrees is roughly $compdir on the compassbr\n;
}
Yeah, I don't know what east of northeast is, so I just labeled it
NEE :)
Great thinking though. You still get the prize on this one.

?
Every time you call dosomething and dosomethingelse, it executes the
function, it just doesn't delare it over again. So even though your
functions are declared outside of your benchmark loop, they still get
executed inside the loop, therefore you get the time needed to execute
100,000 calls of both functions (in this case).
The only thing you're not benchmarking here is the time to declare the
functions once, which is extremely minimal.
Does that clarify it a bit for you?

Hello Trevor,
I really appreciate your reply! In fact I haven't found a way
to do it
yet. I can't really do it the way you suggest cause part of
what I want
to benchmark is defining the functions. Someone suggested benching it
from Apache, but I'm not sure how to do that. Thank you very much for

RE: [PHP] Can I name a session variable using another variable?
Ok, assuming everything's working correctly except for the use of $prevtime in the SESSION, then here's one answer: Yes, you can name a session the way you described. If you're having trouble with doing the concatenation of values inside $_SESSION, then try combining them outside: $roomname=sampleroom; $sessionname = $roomname . $prevtime; $_SESSION[$sessionname]=time(); Secondly, looks like you forgot a $ on prevtime below: $_SESSION[$roomname . prevtime]=time(); Thirdly, you can store arrays in $_SESSION as well, so you could divide the rooms up that way: $_SESSION[$roomname][PrevTime] = $prevtime; -TG -Original Message- From: John Gostick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 5:47 PM To: PHP General Subject: [PHP] Can I name a session variable using another variable? Hi, I've encountered a problem I can't seem to find much reference to on the web, so I was wondering if anyone here could help me... Fisrt a brief background: I am building a fairly simple PHP/MySQL chat system with multiple rooms. Each room is loaded from the main chat page by clicking on a link that uses JavaScript to open and size a new window, and also passes the roomname as a variable to the new chat window. Messages sent from a room are tagged with the roomname, and the window refreshes periodically to look for new messages(rows) in the database that have that rooms name. In this way a room only recieves messages meant for it. So far so good. However, to determine what messages are new, a SESSION variable $prevtime is set each time the script checks for new messages, so that next time it checks, it will only download messages posted SINCE the time given in $prevtime. This was not a problem with a single room, but when multiple rooms are open they are sharing the same session variable $prevtime because they are all using the same session as they were all opened from the same window. This leads to 'skipping' of messages and not all messages being picked up by each room. I've stratched my head over this, and decided to try and generate a unique SESSION variable for each room, named using the string 'prevtime' prefixed with the value of the variable $roomname (the name of the current room). However I can't seem to get this to work. To summarise my problem: Can I name/create a session variable like this?: $roomname=sampleroom; $_SESSION[$roomname . prevtime]=time(); With the aim of making a session variable named 'sampleroomprevtime'. It is possible to use a variable in naming a session this way? I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me in making this work, or any suggestions of a better way from people with a much better knowledge of sessions than myself!

RE: [PHP] convert degrees to heading
The cleanest looking multiple if scenario is to use a Switch statement.
Unfortunately I don't believe PHP's switch will do varied conditions, only equality
statements:
$j = 5;
switch ($j) {
case 6:
echo first;
break;
case 6:
echo second;
break;
case 5:
echo third;
break;
default:
echo fourth;
break;
}
This breaks at case 6. Removing the second condition, the switch statement echos
third since $j == 5.
In some other languages, you could put your range of values in the case statements,
but not PHP I guess.
I think in this case, you're stuck with a bunch of if/elseif statements. Only 16 of
them though, right? :)

Two options: 1. nl2br($posteddata) - This converts all the \r\n's to br's so that it comes out with the same carriage returns as the person who inputed it gave it 2.

RE: [PHP] Adding +7 more days on date() value problem
Because $now+(7*24*60*60) isn't very intuitive to a human.
Why would you do it that way instead of:
$days = 24*60*60;
$now = time();
$plus7 = $now+(7*$days);
echo 'Current Date: '.date('Y-m-d', $now);
echo 'Date in 7 days: '.date('Y-m-d', $plus7);
Maybe you think like a machine, but the way I did it avoids the whole
*24*60*60 nonesense that just makes the code seem cluttered to me. And
what happens if I make a typo and do *70 or *25? I've made plenty of
typos in my day and I'm sure everyone else has. Why risk a slight
miscalculation that could give you inaccurate results when PHP is happy
to help?
Maybe you'd say, What if you mistype the 7 as a 9? well, then I'm
screwed either way. But I've gone from 4 potential typo problems to
one. Sounds like a good improvement to me.
This is mostly a matter of style. Your way works as well as mine. I
just like mine better. People can decide which way they'd prefer. Your
example is good to help people realize how they can manually do the
calculations if they should need to though, so thanks for posting it!

RE: [PHP] Adding +7 more days on date() value problem
Yes, it does! That's why I find it so useful. :) http://www.php.he.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Quoted: mktime() is useful for doing date arithmetic and validation, as it will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range input. For example, each of the following lines produces the string Jan-01-1998. Example 1. mktime() example ?php echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 1997)); echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 13, 1, 1997)); echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998)); echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 98)); ? Year may be a two or four digit value, with values between 0-69 mapping to 2000-2069 and 70-99 to 1970-1999 (on systems where time_t is a 32bit signed integer, as most common today, the valid range for year is somewhere between 1901 and 2038). Windows: Negative timestamps are not supported under any known version of Windows. Therefore the range of valid years includes only 1970 through 2038. Another tidbit regarding mktime: The last day of any given month can be expressed as the 0 day of the next month, not the -1 day. Both of the following examples will produce the string The last day in Feb 2000 is: 29. Example 2. Last day of next month ?php $lastday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 2000); echo strftime(Last day in Feb 2000 is: %d, $lastday); $lastday = mktime(0, 0, 0, 4, -31, 2000); echo strftime(Last day in Feb 2000 is: %d, $lastday); ?

RE: [PHP] Re: Unable to open word document.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Office products can run
invisible. Sometimes you'll get COM failures and can't understand why
and it turns out that Word or Excel or whatever is still running, just
not visible. Pull up your Task Manager and look for the process and
kill it.
The property in VBA is applicationobjectname.Visible = True (or
False)
I forget the exact syntax for PHP, but you get the idea.
There's also a .UserControl T/F property that tells the application
whether it's allowed to auto-close when the COM call is done or if it
needs to stay open for the user to manipulate. TRUE means to stay open
(even if it's not visible).

You could do something like this:
$valuesarr = array($a,$b,$c,$d);
If (in_array($x,$valuesarr)) {
# do something
}
Or I guess even:
If (in_array($x,array($a,$b,$c,$d))) {
# do something
}
I don't know if your method or this method have better performance but
it's a little easier to read I guess.

Hello!
Can anyone tell me if there is an easier/shorthand for:
if (($x == $a) || ($x == $b) || ($x == $c) || ($x == $d)
... ) {;}
I understand the logic of why the following does not work:
if ($x == ($a || $b || $c || $d)) {;}
Thanks!

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] Browser Detection another page
mycb Sure, but why would a user want to fake their browser signature? They might do it without even knowing. Opera will identify itself as IE6 for example if you select that in the Preferences. Other browsers/packages can do it as standard. Although I can't give a specific example, I bet there are some firewalls out there that filter this information out too. When I ran Opera, I all but HAD to set it as IE5 (Opera 6.05 I think was the last version I ran) because if I didn't, many websites would, for lack of a better term, discriminate against the non IE header info and pass you to a page that was very stripped of features and layout and sometimes was barely thrown together, much less 'developed'. And if you went to a site like Hotmail.com, you lost a LOT of functionality. Assuming that Microsoft didn't do this out of spite, the basic assumption was Oh, you're not running Internet Explorer.. You must not be capable of doing CSS or whatever. Opera functioned just fine on these sites if you told it to impersonate IE. I saw a response letting you know how to do this, but I would recommend not sending people to different pages based on which browser/OS they're using. mycb Why not? Isn't that what most of the big web sites do? Actually yes, lots of them do. So I agree with you here :) Many big sites do this, but as illustrated in the example I gave above, it's not always justified or welcome. I personally hate designing too many different pages to suit all the needs of the browsers, so I try to work with what most of the browsers will handle right off. True, that's not going to take into account Lynx users or whatever, but if I don't OVER design what I'm working on, then it still shouldn't turn out too bad. There are always exceptions though. Thankfully, designing primarily for an internal corporate environment right now, I have some insight into what people are using and some control over what they NEED to use in order to make use of the functions that I implement. mycb What about obsolete browsers that don't handle CSS too well (or not at all)? We I think his point was that there are other ways to handle browser display issues besides 2 versions of a site and a user_agent test. True. You know.. Browsers really need to be able to talk more to scripts to let them know what their capabilities are. You can do this to some degree, but I think we should be able to ask the browser itself if it knows tag x and it can respond 'yea' or 'nay'. Then, if there's a known issue with the implementation of that tag in that browser (glitches, bugs and such) then we can use the browser identification to decide if it's worth using that tag or not. Handle it all programatically. No sense having 95% functional HTML and having 5% blow up when we can toggle the use of that 5% via PHP depending on certain conditions. Ok, I'm rambling.. Excuse me. I'm making like 3 or 4 different points at once. -TG -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Subject: [PHP] Weird question - environment data from windows
When you've stopped laughing - is it at all possible to pass Windows
environment data from a Windows workstation to an PHP application
running on a Linux server?
You might be able to use Javascript to get some information off of the
client browser and maybe populate some form elements or something, but I
don't know of any way to automatically send environment information to
your linux server. I know Javascript has functions built into it for
getting screen height and width and such. Probably other things as
well.
On the server itself you can use the $_ENV superglobal to get it's
environment information (see the listing in phpinfo()), but getting it
from the browser is a little trickier.
Some things can be obtained in other ways. For example, a
hack/workaround for getting a user's login name on a Windows network
(with a Windows server) is to put this into your code:
$ipaddress = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
$nbtstat = nbtstat -A . $ipaddress;
exec ($nbtstat,$result);
foreach ($result as $row) {
if (strpos($row,03)) $username = strtok($row, );
}
Basically this uses the IP address of the client, does an nbtstat on
it and parses all the entries containing 03 to get the username.
This works ok.. Unless the person is logged into more than one machine
at a time, then you usually get the machine name instead. Not great,
but if it's your only way of snagging a username, then so be it.
Maybe if you tell us what environment information you're trying to pass
to the server, someone has a workaround like this specifically for that
variable. If it's for just some userset variable, then I'm really not
sure how you'd do that. If you do find a way, please share! Could be
useful to lots of people.
Good luck!

RE: [PHP] Sessions not working.
Random thought.. Did you check your PHP.INI on the 'bad' server to make sure that it's configured the same as the 'good' server? Some things to check: Session.use_cookies = 1 Session.auto_start = 0 // This is the first one I'd check. If you have it set to =1 on the good server and aren't doing a session_start(), that could do it I think There are a bunch of other Session related parameters in PHP.INI.. Default timeout value..

RE: [PHP] Spell checker in PHP
There are a lot of words in the spelling checking in Microsoft products
that isn't part of what you'd consider a standard 'dictionary', like
city names and such.
I think for spell checking, using the internal spell check in Word would
be best, but if you ever decided to work on Word-PHP integration, look
into COM.
I havn't played around with it a lot, but someone at my work doubted I
could use PHP to control Microsoft MapPoint. I got just far enough to
prove them wrong before getting busy.
$mappoint = new COM(mappoint.application) or die(Unable to
instanciate mappoint);
print Loaded mappoint, version {$mappoint-Version}\n;
$map = new COM(mappoint.map) or die (Unable to instanciate map);
$map = $mappoint-NewMap or die (Unable to NewMap);
$map-Name = Test or die (Unable to Name);;
$mappoint-Visible = 1;
You should be able to do similar things with almost all the latest
Microsoft applications, even if they don't have an obvious VBA editor
built in like Access and Excel do.

That's insane.
Although technically, you *could* add them all to Word's dictionary.
However, my point is, Spell-checking of City State names isn't
common, because it's too hard for the dictionaries to keep
up with the
list.
So, if Word can't offer this feature, why would your web application
need it?
Also, given the global nature of the web, you'd have a LOT of data
entry to do :)

I'd check the permissions of your files as well as any .htaccess settings you may need to set allowances on the files and folders involved. Also check your 'default document' name in your configuration and make sure that it's looking for index.html at all. Although that wouldn't affect it if you implicitly spelled out http://ipnumber/index.html;. That sounds more like a permissions issue. That should be in conf/httpd.conf for Apache if I remember right.

No need to ge that deep (socket_create and stuff)..
To send the HEX number 20 (also a space), you can do the following:

chr(0x20);
chr(hexdec('20'));
pack('C',0x20);
All of those _should_ create a space...

[PHP] Zend Studio ESC key issue?
First, let me apologize for this not being a specific PHP question, but I can't find the answer and I'm hoping someone else here has run into this. Maybe I'm just blind, blond or stupid today. :) In Zend Studio (Zend Development Environment) for Windows (on Windows 2000 fyi), when I hit the ESC key, it hides my Messages, Debug and Output windows. This might be nice sometimes, but I find myself hitting ESC (sometimes for no rational reason) and it's driving me nuts that it hides the three windows I WANT to see and not the File Manager window, which I really don't use that much currently. Hah Is there somewhere to customize this or is there another key that brings them back quickly? I prefer keyboard use to mouse use and would prefer not to have these windows disappear in the first place, but if it were a matter of hitting ESC to temporarily hide and hitting ESC again to bring them back, that'd be acceptable. I promise to post more directly PHP related messages later, just gotta take care of this one project first.
