Re: [PHP] CheckBoxes....
As far as I know, you can't name different checkboxes with the same name (seems odd to me to do this anyway) When you submit a form to a php page, the php page will have a variable for each input item in your form So if you have checkbox items named, a, b, c, and d, and submit a form with a and c checked, then the values of $a and $c will be on, and $b and $d will have no values It's sometimes good to use the isset() function on checkbox items In this case, isset($a) would return 1 and isset($b) would return 0 Hope that helps Jeff At 10:07 PM 3/2/2002 -0700, Ben Turner wrote: Don't checkboxes, if you name them all the same name, produce a comma delimited string in php of the values selected??? such as for 15 checkboxes with numeric values would produce a string such as ,,,1314,,,18 when the form was submited??

Re: [PHP] hmm.. more trouble with telnet.
How about just typing 'mysql' (without the quotes) if it is on the system and in a directory which is in your path (it should be if your host knows what they're doing), then that will connect to mysql for you If that doesn't work, then you can either try using 'find' (type 'man find') for more info, or you can email your host and just ask them :) Jeff At 10:27 AM 3/1/2002 -0700, you wrote: Hello, When I type in 'whereis mysql' it says 'mysql:' so what does that mean? -Sean -- PHP General Mailing List (http://wwwphpnet/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://wwwphpnet/unsubphp
Re: [PHP] elseif without else
If you are setting a variable inside of the if statements, and then
checking that variable later, then I would say you should either use an
else statement to give that variable a default value, or you should set the
variable to a default value before the if statements Your code is
legitimate, ie there is no reason you *have* to have an else statement

Re: [PHP] Class question
Well, I guess many things are accepted now, but here's my two cents: I wouldn't access global variables, instead you should pass everything you need as parameters. Using global variables can come back to bite you occasionally because you may think you are changing a local variable at one point, but you actually change a global variable, and then who knows what will happen when you try to access the global variable later in your code expecting an int, for example, and it is suddenly a string... As for using other user defined functions from elsewhere in your code, I think it depends on the context... But think about what if you want to use this class elsewhere, then you will always need to copy over whatever file contains your other functions. In that case it would obviously make more sense to contain whatever functions are needed inside of the class. Hope that gives you some ideas.

this is a difference of around 17 hours (i ran both scripts within 5

however 1014261839 - 1014260440 = just 1399 seconds.
so where am I going wrong?
there's either an issue with:

b) date()
c) the subtraction of one timestamp from another

Re: [PHP] Displaying a please wait while doing a file upload?
Well, although this won't wait until exactly when the image creation is done, you could use a meta refresh tag to refresh to your new page after a certain number of seconds... Create a php page with whatever code you need, and then have something like this: html head meta http-equiv= refresh content=5;URL='targetpage.php' titlePlease Wait/title /head body Please wait... /body /html This example would wait 5 seconds before loading targetpage.php.

Re: [PHP] Adding 6 digits to a str?
Why is it that you want to represent an int with leading 0's? Is it just
to print it out that way? If that is the case, then you can use the printf
function for formatted printing.

Hi guys,
I am trying to force a int to be 8 digits. If it is only 3 dig filling the
first ones with 0.
Anyhow I tryed it with type casting, but it does not matter what I try, I
always get an addition.
E.g:
$member_id is: 136
should be: 0136
Here is the code, which is still returning 136:
for($i=0;$icount($member_id);$i++){
$length = strlen($member_id[$i]);
settype ($member_id[$i], string);
$zero = '0';
settype ($zero, string);
$member_id[$i] = $zero + $member_id[$i];
echo $member_id[$i];
}
Does anybody know how to solve this thing??

Hence the question. It's supposed to be persistent only until the script finishes, but I can prove otherwise. A windows thing? Who knows? John Actually, from what I understand, with the persistent connection, it is left open even after the script is finished - that's why it's called persistent. Read this excerpt from the link I sent you: mysql_pconnect() acts very much like mysql_connect() with two major differences. First, when connecting, the function would first try to find a (persistent) link that's already open with the same host, username and password. If one is found, an identifier for it will be returned instead of opening a new connection. Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (mysql_close() will not close links established by mysql_pconnect()). This type of link is therefore called 'persistent'. Note: Note, that these kind of links only work if you are using a module version of PHP. See the Persistent Database Connections section for more information. -Jeff (not Jim) -- 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]
Re: [PHP] Help with Logical 'OR'
With a logical OR statement, many languages will evaluate the first
statement, and if the first condition is true, then it will not evaluate
the second condition, because TRUE OR (anything) is TRUE. This saves the
program from executing any more code than it has to. If the first
condition is FALSE, then the second condition will be checked.
If you are wanting both $name and $text to be true in order for the first
block of code to be executed, then you will want to use an AND () statement.
I hope that answers your question.

Re: [PHP] Re: Calculate Directory Size
I'm sorry, but I won't be much help on the windows side of things, but for UNIX, the job is already done for you! There is a utility called 'du', which will tell you the disk usage of a file (or a folder and its contents). Specifically, you would want to use the -s flag to specify only to show the grand total, and not the size of each file... type 'du --help' or 'man du' at the command line to find out more. But an example: du -s -m /path/to/users/home/dir/ that will tell you in MB how much disk space they are using. Careful though, this is checking all their files recursively, so this can get cpu/hdd intense if you are using it for lots of users. My advice would be to run your script when there is a low load on the server. I hope that helps get you started.

[PHP] More Fun With Sessions!
Well, I was having problems getting sessions working at all on my FreeBSD
box, but they are now working...
But that leads me to more problems...
For any others that might have a problem w/ FreeBSD, try setting the
referer_check to 0
'session.referer_check = 0'
Once I changed that things seem to be working, ie. I can get a simple count
script to run with no probs, but here is where I come across a new problem.
This script works fine (it counts as I reload it):
?php
session_start();
session_register('counter');
$counter++;
echo(You have visited this page $counter times.);
?
What I am wanting to run on the site is a shopping cart app (along with some
other scripts that utilize sessions) that I wrote myself. Everything works
fine on my home linux box, but doesn't seem to be working on the FreeBSD
box. Maybe I am just not using sessions properly, but it is bugging me
because it works on the linux box... Here's an example:
test.php:
?php
session_start();
session_register('counter');
$counter++;
echo(You have visited this page $counter times.\n);
?
a href=test2.phpclick here/a
test2.php:
?php
session_start();
session_register('counter');
$counter++;
echo(You have visited this page $counter times.\n);
?
a href=test.phpclick here/a
Shouldn't this hold the same counter variable for both pages? It works fine
on my linux box, but on the FreeBSD box, $counter is always 1. I think that
if I could get something like this script working, then the shopping cart
would also work. Sorry for the long message! Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
