I've never done anything like this before, do you know of any good starting points? I don't know anything about bar codes. Regards Emil I've written an entire Warehouse Management System using PHP that utilizes barcoding extensively. We use zebra printers and various barcode reading wands (usually USB connected) with wedges. Most of these wands allow you to set a postfix code to send after it sends the wanded data. I just set this to CRLF and that allows for easy wanding into webpages that are specially designed to accept this type of input. The Zebra printers use a language called ZPL. We created our basic label templates using ZPL and use PHP to fill out the template and send it on to the cups server (which handles sending the data to the Zebra printer).

replaced. For example Singapore.
Does anybody know how to do this on just words?
Thank you for any hint,

[PHP] Session Problem PHP version 4.3.8
OK, so it wasn't the nut behind the wheel after all. I am still having
problems with sessions after upgrading to PHP 4.3.8. The test code below
works as expected on server equipped with PHP 4.3.6 and keeps the session
start time the same no matter what link you click on. However with version
4.3.8 when you click on the last link on the page it will start a new session
and the session start time will be updated. What can I change to fix this?
All the session related php.ini settings are the same on both servers and I
will repost that information here. Both servers are running the same version
of Apache, Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Gentoo/Linux).

Hi James,
Well for what it's worth:
Your code in Test1 sets the paraemters -
if(!$_SESSION['start_time']){
echo(\n Session ResetBR);
$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();
yet when Test2 loads, you haven't called $_SESSION[''start_time'} nor, for
that matter, have you 'saved' it using session_write_close();
From the Manual:
Session data is usually stored after your script terminated without the need
to call session_write_close(),
Therefore when the Test2 loads, time is not set, so when it returns to
Time is set.
Test1 and hits the above condition, it will write a new time, and hence a
new session.
It should never hit the if condition after the first load of the page.
I presume two things; 1. that you have ?php session_start(); ? as opener
lines on each page and 2. that register_globals=off.
In my php.ini I have session.auto_start = 1, so that I do not need
session_start(). And register_globals is set to off.
The last thing caused
all sorts of grief for me last week - messes up sessions if 'on'
Been there done that! Thanks for trying to help!

James, have you tried with manually calling session_start() and setting

Haven't followed your previous thread so please forgive me if I'm asking
something you already wrote. Are you using cookies?
YES
These are my current cookie related php.ini settings.
session.use_cookies = 1
; session.use_only_cookies defaults to 0
; session.use_only_cookies = 1
If so, have you tried
without them by appending the session id manually to the links?
I tried that without turning cookies off and appending the SID to the
offending anchor tag (the one with javascript). Nothing I tried worked with
current php.ini settings.
I tried like this:
echo(\n BRBRA
HREF=\javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?.SID.')\THIS STARTS NEW
SESSION/A);
Which gave me this anchor tag:
A HREF=javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?')THIS STARTS NEW SESSION/A
And like this:
echo (a href=\javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?PHPSESSID=.
$_REQUEST['PHPSESSID'].')\THIS STARTS NEW SESSION/A);
Which gave me this anchor tag:
A
HREF=javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php?PHPSESSID=fae0cffb9f6c307e38aef7d2310e1d69')THIS
STARTS NEW SESSION/A
Try these settings:
session.auto_start = 0
session.use_cookies = 0
session.use_trans_sid = 0
Put session_start() at the top of ALL your pages and write your links this
way:
a href=page2.php??php echo SID; ?to page 2 /a
I tried with php.ini settings like you suggested and it didn't work at all.
Whatever you clicked on started a new session. Then I turned
session.use_trans_sid = 1 with auto_start and use_cookies still turned off
and my example code started working!!! My problem is that all my other real
world apps do not work with php.ini settings like that. :(
So it seems that the cookie part of sessions is broken somehow and my earlier
idea of adding something to url_rewrite wouldn't help even if I could figure
out what to add to it. Anyone have any other ideas. Can I upgrade to
something higher than 4.3.8? Would that mean upgrading to 5.x?

Thanks for your input...
I think you're looking for something like this, but be warned things like
HTTP_REFERER are/can be set by the client so you can't really trust this too
much.
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != 'http://domain.com/I/AM/EXPECTING/script.php')
{
echo (Dang Script Kiddie Go Away!);

Probably better is to include, like you said, a hidden variable on the page
that would be very hard to guess in the form before presenting it to the user
and also save it in a database or somewhere. Then when the user submits the
form check your database for the existence of the super hard to guess value.
If it exists in the DB, delete it and let the user go about her business. If
it doesn't then:
{
echo (Dang Script Kiddie Go Away!);
exit;
}

button or double-clicking of the submit button I echo the results of
create_form_id inside the form tag. I also remember to include
authenticate.php which is going to actually stop the user from resubmitting
the same form.

Here is an example warn_doubleclick.php that you can edit to your taste. This
is what the users will be redirected to if they break the button rules.
?php
include(header.php);
echo (BRBRh2You have double clicked the submit button titledb);
echo ($_POST['submit']./b or attempted to process this form twice by using
the back button or the refresh button./h2);
echo (BRBRa href=index.phpReturn to Program/a);

Michal You use a thing called a wedge. It plugs into your keyboard port on your computer. Then you plug in the keyboard and the scanner into the wedge. You must program your PHP to not look for submit buttons. You also need a browser that will submit a page when you press enter in a field. You can also get scanners with USB connections that work like keyboards. We've written a Warehouse Management System using these devices and a barcode printer. It's written in PHP and uses MySQL database. We use walkabout computers connected to the forklifts and cherrypickers. It's been working great now for almost a year now.

RE: [PHP] Very Wierd Problem
\0 is a NULL character, IIRC. Either use single quotes:
echo ('EBCO\030774-006\BUBBLER VALVE');
or use two slashes, like you did above:
echo (EBCO\\030774-006\\BUBBLER VALVE);
---John Holmes...
Problem is that this description is coming from a DB, that's
why I was trying to use addslashes, which caused me the same
problems.

Other functions (the socket functions) however, could be used to create what is needed in order provide the FTP server functionality that your ISP fears. It is these functions that your ISP should be disabling and not the FTP functions in order to protect themselves from a client allowing FTP access via a PHP script that they have written.

[PHP] Variable Fun

$var1 = 02061030012452;
$var2 = 02061030012451;
$test1 = (string) $var1
$test2 = (string) $var2;
echo gettype($test2).---.gettype($test1).BRBR;
echo $test2.---.$test1.BRBR;
if ( $test2 != $test1){
echo (The variables are not equal.);
}
?
Produces the following output (Notice that it doesn't say vars are not equal);
string---string
02061030012451---02061030012452
And this code:
?
$var1 = A.02061030012452;
$var2 = A.02061030012451;
$test1 = (string) $var1
$test2 = (string) $var2;

echo $test2.---.$test1.BRBR;

Produces the following output (Notice it printed the message about vars not
being equal);
string---string
02061030012451---02061030012452
The variables are not equal.
Why does PHP Version 4.2.3 ignore my (string) - cast to string in the if

[PHP] Log files.
I was having some problems with my error logs. I just figured out what the problem was! Thought everybody might benefit from it's solution so here it goes. The problem was that the php error log was only showing errors created by my command line scripts that were being executed by cron. The solution was that one of my cron jobs deleted the PHP error file late every night so it would be fresh and only showing today's errors. The first error output was usually created by one of the PHP scripts run through cron. When this script wrote it's error out it created my error file with the owner being root. Then when the website users started creating errors (later in the morning), apache was unable to write to the file because it was owned by root. Duhhh!! Maybe this will help someone in the future.

RE: [PHP] email attachments
You need a Content-Disposition in yer $mime variable. I'll leave it up to you to figure out where, because I've forgotten where it goes exactly.

RE: [PHP] Performance question
I think you've got the best set up already. I have a PDF library that I do a similar thing with. To update the site I just dump the new PDF's into their directory and the users reload the page to see the new content. James -Original Message- From: Fifield, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Performance question Ok I have a performance question. I run a wallpaper site; this is the url to the main gallery page http://www.cognitivedistortion.com/php/gal.php http://www.cognitivedistortion.com/php/gal.php The page does a dir read and lists all pictures found in each directory, it does this every time the page is loaded. Now at first this seemed like a incredible inefficient way to do generate pages. The alternatives to this would be to generate a list of the pictures and save them in a text file, or create a list of the pictures and store them in a database. If I use a text file I will have to read the text file every time the page is generated which seems like it would take just as long as reading the file allocation table, which I am doing now. As for the database to get the same thing done I would first have to log into the database and then pull the information. I was hoping to get some input as to which would be the fastest/ best way to use. Mike Fifield Charles Schwab Co, Inc.

RE: [PHP] mysql question
Why don't you just increment a counter as you are retrieving them.
mysql_select_db(some_DB) or die(DB not available);
$query = select some_data from some_table;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$rowcounter=0;
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
extract($row);
$rowcounter++;
echo(You are on Row $rowcounter wich contains the);
echo( data $some_data for the field named some_data);

RE: [PHP] Displaying Image with PHP

Here's my image script. I know I should send more information in the Header, but
it works w/out it. Notice that I ommitted the stripslashes. I ran into the same
problem as you are having when I had the stripslashes in it. I would make more
sense to me if you had to use the stripslashes.

Your code.

[PHP] header() problem??
I am trying to replace a perl script with the following PHP code. The perl code
acted like a redirector, sending you to a different script depending on the
value of the submit button. The following replacement code written in PHP works
quite well until the postString exceeds some unknown size (This number must be
known by someone because it is always chopping it at the same place). Why will
this not work and how can I fix it?? It seems to break when sending script has
more than 30 lines of form input, works fine otherwise.
?
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$key = stripslashes($key);
$val = stripslashes($val);
$key = urlencode($key);
$val = urlencode($val);
$postString .= $key=$val;
}
if ($defloc){
$gotoscript = $defloc;
}
$location = '/scriptdirectory/';
$go = http://www.site.com.$location.$gotoscript.?.$postString;
header(Location: $go);
?
