[PHP] UPS / USPS shipping algorithm
I have to be able to calculate shipping charges based on the product(s) ordered. I'm able to communicate with UPS and USPS, parse the XML and all of that. The problem I'm running into is trying to calculate a box size. Has anyone here come up with a good solution? It is no problem at all to get shipping rates for one item. Two of the same item is more difficult, but 2 or more different items, all of different sizes, is causing me some problems. To make things worse, there aren't any standard box sizes I can use to try to fit them in. I've looked at different PHP scripts for calculating UPS and USPS shipping rates, but all of them I've seen so far expect the package size to already be calculated. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.enormousplow.com Immortality -- a fate worse than death. -- Edgar A.

Yes. The way I normally do this is to use HTML that looks something
like:
select multiple='multiple' name='test[]'
option value='1'Red/option
option value='2'Green/option
option value='3'Blue/option
/select
Now in your PHP program, you can access them all with something like:
?php
foreach($_POST['test'] as $test) {
echo You selected $testbr /\n;

As far as I know this is something you have to program in yourself. If you are only worried about your programs accessing the file, then it is a good idea to create a lock file. Before you access a file called mydata, check for a file called mydata.lock. If that exists, then the file is in use, so wait and check later. If it does not exist, create a file called mydata.lock, open mydata, do with it as you please, close mydata, and delete mydata.lock.

Yes, it actually does return strings matched. I would not expect your

it easier to see what is happening.
With what you have, it is very unlikely that you will ever print out a
match. You are incrementing your counter for every line of the file,
not for every match actually found. Try this code instead:
?php
$contents=fread($readfile,10);

But if I add slashes the evaluated code will be

Why not just break out of the string to print the username?

You could have the original array passed to the function and your function return a reversed one. In your function, you would have to do some checking. If the index is a new entry into your guestbook, then create a new index in the new array. If not, just prepend the text to the last index of the array.

[PHP] Ming and flash detection
Hi, I'm having a problem writing a flash detector, and was hoping
someone would help. I had one working that I created with Flash 4, but
it would fetch another webpage after loading so that it knew where to
redirect to. So it looked like:
PHP embeds FLASH --- load variables from PHP redirects to correct
page.
If FLASH wouldn't load, then javascript or a http refresh header would
send them elsewhere.
I'm trying to use Ming to eliminate the load variables from PHP
portion. That way once the FLASH file loads, it will redirect, and you
won't have to wait for the program to go to the server and load more
variables. Here is the code I'm using:
brokencode
?php
// $load is a variable that is passed in the embed tag ex:
// embed src=detectflash.php?load=?=$PHP_SELF?
$thisURL = "$load?hasflash=yes";
Ming_setScale(1.0);
// Create a very small movie with a white background.
$m = new SWFMovie();
$m-setBackground(0xff, 0xff, 0xff);
$m-setDimension(18, 18);
// This movie simply redirects to the appropriate page.
$m-add(new SWFAction("getURL('$thisURL', ''); stop();"));
$m-nextFrame();
$m-add(new SWFAction("play();"));
header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
$m-output();
?
/brokencode
So far I've tested this in 3 browsers all on Windows 2000.
IE5 - works just fine.
Opera 5 - works just fine.
Netscape 4.08 - Never redirects.
I added code to write $thisURL to a file so I could see if it is getting
passed correctly, and it is. So there must be a problem with the movie
somewhere. In the getURL() function, I have tried many different things
for the second argument. _self, _parent, _top. None of these makes any
difference. Anyone have any ideas I could try??

Although I am certain the code could be better etc. etc. it works fine. I tested it on a Linux box running Apache-1.3.17 and PHP-4.0.4pl1 (as a module). However, when I transferred the project to another Linux server running Apache-1.3.12 and PHP-4.0.0 (also running as a module), the mailing portal refused to function properly. I discovered that the code that controls what action is taken was not picking up on the form contents passed to it. For a brief example, I have a file named "compose.php" which contains a form that passes a hidden field called "state" with the value "compose" to a file called "control.php" using the POST method. "control.php" is supposed to pick up on the "state" and sends the content of the "compose.php" form to the deliver stage. Unfortunately, it appears that "control.php" is not seeing any of the form data from "compose.php". My question is this: is there a setting in PHP (set either at compile or in the php.ini) that controls whether or not a PHP script will accept data passed to it via POST or GET? I'm not sure but I think register_globals or something like that could be the problem. I'm pretty sure that with this set, you don't have to use the $HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTT_POST_VARS arrays. Without it set, you are forced to use these arrays. register_globals = on: $HTTP_GET_VARS['testme']; // will have form info $testme // will have form info register_globals = off: $HTTP_GET_VARS['testme'] // will have form info $testme // will be empty I could be completely wrong, but I think this is how that works. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The prayer of serenity applies here.

Re: [PHP] Best way to pass SQL TEXT field via a link
1) The mySQL text data ($description) won't populate my form. I'm using textarea input, and it just won't accept and display the value of $description. It's empty, and when the form is re-submitted after editing, it empties the $description variable. How are you printing the value? With textarea you need to do: textarea?php echo $description;?/textarea instead of: textarea value="?php echo $description;?/textarea 2) I also have image uploads in my form, and the type=file inputs will not accept values, either. Same problem as above .. the empty input areas cause the image names to be deleted from my database when the form is edited and re-submitted. You can't assign a value to a type=file field. If you could, you would be able to upload whatever file you wanted from a user. If you have to pass the value, try a hidden field and then have it reassign if no file was uploaded. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Let's say the docs present a simplified view of reality...:-) -- Larry Wall in [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will have to let the program know where you left off, you could pass

Re: [PHP] array headaches

Why not use a for loop instead?
for($i = 0; $db-next_record(); $i++) {
$menu[$i]["name"] = $db-f("name");
$menu[$i]["url"] = $db-f("topic_id");

Then you can access them through another loop.

Re: [PHP] Netscape not resolving $PHPSELF ??
Thanks that fixed it. I didn't realize there were two version of this variable. Why? Hmm, strange that the other one worked fine with IE but not Netscape. I thought all thi was done server side, so what the heck does the browser have to do with it? As far as I know, $PHP_SELF is the variable and NOT $PHPSELF. It works in IE because if no page is printed in the tag, it just reloads the same page anyway. If you look at your html source while using $PHPSELF, you will probably see something like this: a href=This is the link/a Netscape realizes this is invalid html and complains, IE simply reloads the current page. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- But you have to allow a little for the desire to evangelize when you think you have good news. -- Larry Wall in [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
