Your WHERE conditions are the same, that is why it is updating a single 
row.  Where are $dagens_dato and $brukernavn being defined?  As others 
have stated, you need to include a unique identifier in your query so 
your query updates a specific record.

Hi all,


I have a page that starts with several mysql sql query searches and displays

then I added a form (with hidden line do-update value UPDATE) on the same

then above other sql queries - I put...

if ((isset($_POST[do-update]))  ($_POST[do-update] == update)) {

---do update query---

echo 'meta http-equiv=refresh content=0; url=gohere.php';


By your description of what you think should be happening in the line 
above, my suggestion to would be to look at the header() function in 
PHP.  It can send a header to the browser that will cause the browser to 
stop loading the current page and redirect it to another URL.


http://php.net/header

if ( ... ) {

  Do some work...

  header('Location: someotherpage.php');
  exit();

}

You want to make sure you always call exit(); after issuing a call to 
header('Location: ...');





}

but it shows error that happens AFTER the meta http-equiv=refresh has happened

Catchable fatal error: xxx on line 226

BTW - the meta http-equiv=refresh does work but the error flashes 1st for a 
second...

Q: I would have thought that it would not go past the line - meta 
http-equiv=refresh - but it does any insight on this

Re: [PHP] Reseting the auto-increment number in a MySQL database.

Hi gang:

I have a client where their next auto-increment number just jumped from 2300 to 
10 for reasons not understood. They want it set back.

Options such as dropping the primary key and rebuilding the index is NOT 
possible -- this is a relational table thing.

So, is there a way (programmatically) to set the next number in an 
auto-increment?

Something like:

alter table abc auto_increment = 2301;

Any ideas of why this happened?

You could use is_numeric for that, though it also accepts floats.

for that type of test I have always used this:

if ( $val == (int)$val ) {

http://www.php.net/manual/en/**language.types.integer.php#**
language.types.integer.castinghttp://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php#language.types.integer.casting



I hope you're not serious about this...

When comparing a string and an int, PHP will translate the string to int
too, and of course they will always be equal then.
So:
$a = abc;
if($a == (int)$a) echo YES;
else echo NO;
Will always return YES.

- Matijn



H...  Interesting.  Looking back at my code base where I thought I 
was doing that, turns out the final results were not that, but this:


$value = asdf1234;

if ( $value === (string)intval($value) ) {

Looking back at the OP's request and after a little further searching, 
it seems that there might be a better possible solution for what the OP 
is requesting.


?php

$values = array(asdf1234, 123.123, 123);

foreach ( $values AS $value ) {

  echo $value;

  if ( ctype_digit($value) ) {
echo ' - is all digits';
  } else {
echo ' - is NOT all digits';
  }
  echo 'br /'.PHP_EOL;
}

returns...

asdf1234 - is NOT all digits
123.123 - is NOT all digits
123 - is all digits

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php

An important note:

This function expects a string to be useful, so for example passing in 
an integer may not return the expected result. However, also note that 
HTML forms will result in numeric strings and not integers. See also the 
types section of the manual.

I'm late in on this thread so apologies if I have missed something here
.. but wouldn't is_int() do what the OP wants?

Nope, because the OP wants to test if a variable, that is a string, 
could be converted to an integer.  Not if a variable is an integer.

You could use is_numeric for that, though it also accepts floats.

for that type of test I have always used this:

This will never work.  Your last array will always overwrite your 
previous array.


Here is how I would suggest building it:


$items = array(
1 = array(
serviceid = 1,
servicename= signature required,
price = $4.95
),
15 = array(
serviceid = 15,
servicename = return receipt,
price = $2.30
)
)

This will ensure that your first level indexes never overwrite themselves.

But, with that change made, then do this:

foreach ( $items AS $item ) {
  if ( array_key_exists('price', $item) ) {
echo $item['price'];
  } else {
echo 'Item does not have a price set';
  }
}

I simplified the example.  In my real life case the foo and bar

would like to display them.

Then why not use empty()?

$a = foo;
$b = bar;
if ( !empty($a)  !empty($b) ){
echo $a.br /.$b;
}

The reason I ask is that what if one of your strings was a 0 (zero) I 
would expect your code would not work as you had intended.


php -r 'if ( $a=foo  $b=0 ) { echo \n\n{$a}\n{$b}\n\n; }'

In my testing, it does not.  I would then have to ask, how often do you 
think a string will be 0?

Thanks for all the posts. After reading and googling all afternoon, I
think the best approach for me is:

Create two macros in Word (done!) to export each of my .doc files to
.txt and .pdf formats.

Create a sql table to hold the .txt contents of my .doc files, along
with a reference to the meeting date and the name of the corresponding
.pdf file.

Upload my two sets of files with an ftp client and then use a script to
load the table with my .txt file data.

Now I just need a couple of scripts to allow a user to locate a file and
bring up the pdf for when he wants to read about a meeting. And a second
script to accept user input (search words) and perform a query against
the textual data and present some kind of results - probably a listing
containing a reference to the meeting date and a tbd-length string
showing the matching result for each occurrence, ie, something like n
chars in front of and after the match so the user can see the context of
the match.

Sizes - a 28k .doc file grows to 142kb in .pdf format and is only 5kb in
.txt format. (actually, if I 'print' the .doc as a pdf instead of using
the Word's File,Save as, the resulting pdf is only 70kb. Might need a
new macro!)

Thanks again!



I wrote this script a few years ago that extracted the plain text out of 
the .doc file.


http://www.cmsws.com/examples/applications/word2_/convert.php

if you look in the directory you will see a few example files.

You can view them like this.

.../convert.php?filename=test_building.doc

replace test_building.doc with any of the other .doc files from the dir 
listing to see its contents.


I currently have it set to 64bit width rows.  Show you some nice pattern 
stuff with the MS Word format.


I have the source file viewable for the convert.php script as well.

http://www.cmsws.com/examples/applications/word2_/convert.phps

I have thought about extending this even further to figure out the 
layout and test formatting.  But it hasn't gotten much attention for

If something was injecting code using the auto_append param, then you

Thanks a lot Jim for the help...

sorry this is getting a bit above me... if you mean use the terminal I
have a friend that can help me soon try to change user to apache/php
user (not sure how yet) and test this

Did it work?

More then likely your php/apache process does not know where sendmail is or
does not have permission to use it.

Check in your php.ini file and see what is set as the sendmail_path

Mine is set like this:

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: sendmail -t
-i).
;sendmail_path =

As a standard user on my linux box I get this

[jlucas@jim ~]$ which sendmail
/usr/bin/which: no sendmail in (...)

But as root, I get this
[root@jim ~]# which sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail

So, make sure your apachephp user can see and execute sendmail

Ji Jim,

in the mamp php.ini file I had set like the demo to:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost - these commented out as described
;smtp_port = 25 - these commented out as described

; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from = m...@example.com

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: sendmail -t -i).

sendmail_path =/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f  m...@site.com



From your terminal, you will need to verify that /usr/sbin/sendmail 
exists and can be called by your apache/php user.






First off, make sure that sendmail is installed and functioning.


I am not using sendmail that I know of. I didn't install anything -
just the basic NON PRO MAMP

Also I did not install postfix.

and I am using the basic php function mail()



You could get around using the mail function completely and use 
phpmailer or SwiftMail.  They would allow you to talk directly to an 
outside SMTP server.  In most cases, unless your web server happens to 
serve as your mail server, you would want to relay your message(s) 
through your official mail server.

First of all, I agree with Maciek that inet_pton is the way to go
because of IPv6.
But, there seems to be some wrong information in your reply which bothers me.
First of all, ip2long only returns negative numbers on 32bit systems,
not on 64bit (which most servers are nowadays).
Second, there's nothing wrong with the if, if(-5) is still true. The
only difference is that you can differentiate between IP 0.0.0.0 and
false. But IP 0.0.0.0 is not valid anyway.

- Matijn



After some testing, I stand corrected.  Wow, I wonder where I ran into 
the issue of negative numbers equating to false.  while loops maybe...


Strange.  I must have ran into this issue years ago.  I have always 
performed strict (===) comparisons because I thought PHP would equate 
negative numbers as false.

 Not at all.  Essentially, PHP is an interface to underlying

to bind requests, as PHP does not presently have that capability (and,
to my knowledge, there's no plan to change that).



Daniel,

Correct me if I wrong, but you could use the stream_* functions within a 
process running as a daemon that can listen on a given IP:port .  I do 
this on my php scripts right now.


It accepts, processes, and responds to the client connections without 
the need of any other applications.  And, it responds to the client from 
the IP  PORT that the client made the connection to.

Since the fist post, I ALWAYS spoke about connections a PHP script may

I'm never speaking about listening/intercepting/using the original HTTP

Then why did you bring up apache?  That seems to be the source of 
confusion...




It is well clear for anyone with a minimum knowledge of programming in
apache that only apache listens and answers from the binded port of httpd.
And, of course, any program/script/binary called from apache, will
return his data to apache, and apache only will send them back to the
original requester.


That is why your mentioning Apache confused me (and probably others).



At the same time it is well clear too that each called
program/script/binary may live autonomously before returning data to
apache, and do whatever action it requires to do, including the opening
of a network socket to an external or internal server.


Your still talking about Apache...



And this is true for any language, from perl to C to PHP.

Only first two replies understood the initial request, all other just
added confusion to the thread.

And so? There is no relation between the call received from Apache
(which is not passed to PHP), and any connection PHP may open later.


My experience has always been, with Apache and lighttpd at least, that 
the response comes from the IP:PORT that the request was made to.


So, if I connect to http://10.10.10.10/

Then the response is going to come from PORT 80.

You might want to run a little trafshow on your server to see how the 
traffic behaves.  I have a number of web servers that I run, all with 
either apache or lighttpd, and they all behave this way.

When apache starts a php script, the script can open a socket towards

But this is a secondary connection (that you open in process) and has 
nothing to do with the request connection to the server from the client.

I DO NOT want to foreach over the array positions that would be

Well, depends on exactly what you mean by and put their values into a 
variable.  Do you mean concatenate all the values into one single 
flat variable.  Or do you mean to make a subset array of the values 
between your two points you found?



First, check out array_slice.
Second, look at join


?php

$myarray = array(
  '0'='me',
  '1'='you',
  '2'='her',
  '3'='him',
  '4'='them',
  '5'='us',

$s_pos = array_search('you', $myarray);
$f_pos = array_search('them', $myarray);

# Calculate the length, it is needed by array_slice()
$length = ($f_pos - $s_pos);

$subset_array = array_slice($myarray, $s_pos, $length);

print_r($subset_array);

$all_values = join(', ', $subset_array);

echo $all_values;

?

Obviously, you need to add in some error checking.  But that should get 
you started.

I believe that's normal, and that it does that with any document downloaded 
from the web.
I'm not sure if there's a workaround, but you should not ask that here but on a 
Microsoft Office forum/list, or just ask the question to Microsoft themselves.

Matijn,
I understand YOU believe this is normal.
I am sorry you feel that way because the construction of the document is 
exactly where the problem was resolved, and that is in PHP.
So asking in the PHP-List was the exact the place to post a question of 
document construction using PHP. Yes understanding the document verification 
methods of Microsoft helps but it is up to the DEVELOPER to put the correct 
headers and content strings to make the document valid and that is what I was 
asked.

Q: I am exporting to a XLS file and the file does export, but when I open the 
file Microsoft is giving a Excel Security Notice. I am sure there is something 
in the header that is missing or causing this problem?


If I create a file using MS Excel, I get this message if I screw up some 
data in one of the fields.  If it has a formula in one of the cells that 
it doesn't like, then it complains.  May want to check that as well.

I can see that you do that indeed, but that does *not* guarantee that

stupid line breaks at 80 chars. Gmail for example shows your mail as

That's where we have different requirements. My first priority is
speed, both in access (email clients tend to be slow), and in delivery
time. I really need emails to be delivered to my PC instantly, and
that's not the case with POP3 and IMAP. Even push mail to my Android
smartphone with original Gmail app is faster than POP or IMAP.

- Matijn



IMAP is not fast enough?  I have my own mail server running SMTP  IMAP 
and I use Thunderbird w/IMAP and when my mail server receives an email 
within 1 to 2 seconds my client is notified.  I'm not sure how you can 
get much faster then that.


You realize that IMAP works completely differently then POP.  POP 
clients fetch the mail.  Normally on some preset time frame.  IMAP 
clients are notified by the server when a new message arrives.  As long 
as your IMAP client is open and logged into your account, that 
notification process will take less then a couple seconds.


I cannot see how IMAP is slow.

- The delay is negliable. Also as soon as every index were updated no

(don't know wether they do, or not) recognize 301 too and redirect any
further request to the url on their own (think of it as they cache the

If this change is only temporary I would recommend using 307 to avoid

I have read in some places on the net that PHP is not suitable for WebSockets 
due to it's nature. That WebSockets are designed for long running 
threads/processes which each maintain multiple event-driven connections, 
whereas PHP was designed around the short-lived single process procedural 
paradigm.

Yet on the other hand I see lots of guides and libraries (such as 
http://socketo.me/) on the net that deal with PHP WebSockets. So I don't know 
what to think at this stage. Is PHP a suitable platform for developing a web 
application that requires WebSockets?




Back in 2007, I wrote a cli php script to run as a socket server for a 
game I was playing at the time.  It has been running on every server 
I've put together since then.  To say that PHP isn't suited to this type 
of service is wrong.


Give it a shot.  Can't hurt to try.

You are relying on PHP's loose typing.  This is a poor check.

session_id() returns a string, not boolean.

You should do this instead.

Their is nothing magical about this.

When you do this:

$foo-color = 'red';

you create a variable within the $foo instance variable called color 
with a value of red.


Then, later on when you do this

echo $foo-color;

you are then simply echo'ing the variable/value you created.

with this example, you are never using the __get() magic function to

I want to do a rDNS check on a admin entered host name to insure

Here is the fundamental code:

$ip = gethostbyname($host);




$hostName = gethostbyaddr($ip); //May be different on a shared host
$ip2 = gethostbyname($hostName);


Throw in a filter_var() check with the FILTER_VALIDATE_IP flag?

if ( filter_var($hostName, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) === TRUE ) {
# This is an IP
# do something
}

Or do a conditional check

if ( $hostName === $ip2 ) {
# no change...
# handle no resolution issue.
}



The $ip works fine.

However, one of the shared hosts I'm working with returns this instead
of the original $host

gethostbyaddr($ip)= 93.247.128.148-static.foo.com [foo is subs for actual]

gethostbyname($hostName)= 93.247.128.148-static.foo.com It appears
gethostbyname() is just returning $hostName because it is not legit.
Using just the foo.com in gethostbyname() returns the host's server IP.

Thus, the typical rDNS check fails for this site. Several online checks
also report rDNS fails.

Any suggestions how I can handle this?

To be short, there's no such function, so you have to:

My real world scenario was this

SELECT a.CustID, b.*

In that case, there was a record in Customer, but not in Sales. Sales
returned CustID as NULL, which overwrote the one from Customer.

It was my mistake, and the SQL was easily fixed. But it woulda been nice
to have PHP realize there was a dupe when it was building that array to

You could always do this.

I found this code in a user comment in the PHP docs for htmlentities():

foreach ($trans as $k=$v)

It seems to work. For instance, this (assuming UTF-8 encoding):

echo xml_character_encode('Château');
echo \n;
echo xml_character_encode('Chteau');

Yields this:

Ch#195;#162;teau
Ch#38;teau

My question is, *how* does it work? It makes sense right up to the return statement. 
According to the docs for strstr(), when a non-string is passed in as the needle, it's, 
converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character. 
First, an array-to-int conversion is undefined, though it seems to produce 1 on my copy 
of PHP. Now, I'm not quite sure how to interpret the last part of that statement from the 
docs, but I take it that the ultimate value supplied to strstr() is going to be either 
'1' (the character value of the integer value of the array) or '49' (the ordinal value of 
the character '1'). Whatever, neither one makes sense to look for in the haystack, so I'm 
obviously missing something.


I think you missed something here...

The above function uses strtr() not strstr()

http://php.net/strtr
http://php.net/strstr



Perhaps it's just late-Monday slowness on my part, but what's going on here? I 
have no intention of using this code, but I'd sure like to understand how it 
works!

Why not BCC it to your self, and then setup a filter in your email client to
move it where ever you want it to be.



Maybe because not everyone uses mail clients that have a filter functionality?


well, if he is wanting the message to be placed in the outbox or sent 
folder of his email client, and this client is on his workstation and 
the sent folder is accessed via IMAP, nor is it via a web client, then 
his only option is to have his email client filter a message to the sent 
folder.


POP3 picks up new messages from your inbox.  IMAP allows you to have 
folders on/in the mail server file structure, but the mail server would 
then need a filter (ie: procmail) to move the new message over to the 
correct folder.


So, no matter what type of solution he comes up with, something, either 
his client or the mail server will need to have a filter created to move 
the message to the correct folder.


Now, I guess you could completely sidestep all security and with proper 
setting have php write the email to the correct folder in the persons 
sent box.  And he could then access it via IMAP and/or a web based email 
client.  But, this would require that php process have file level access 
to the folder which his mail directory resides.

I can not correct your regexp. But I must tell you that trying to tweak a
regex for hours is surely **not productive**. If you got any type of text
processing dont always go for regular expression. This problem can be
solved just by simple string parsing.
Here I have done that for you.


function valid_time($time){
 $m  = (int) substr($time, -2);
 $h  = (int) substr($time, 0, -2);
 return ($h=0  $h13  $m=0  $m60);
}




That won't work, it doesn't account for the possibility of a single 
digit hour field.


I would do something like this:

?php

$times = array(
'100',  # valid
'1100', # valid
'1300', # invalid
'01:00',# valid
'12:59',# valid
'00:01',# valid
'00:25pm',  # invalid
'', # valid
'a00',  # invalid
'00',   # invalid
);

foreach ( $times AS $time )
echo {$time} is .(valid_date($time)?'valid':'invalid').\n;

function valid_date($time) {
  if ( ( $c_time = preg_replace('|[^\d:]+|', '', $time) ) !== $time )
return false;

  if ( ( $pos = strpos($c_time, ':') ) !== false ) {
list($hour, $minute) = explode(':', $c_time, 2);
  } else {
$break  = (strlen($c_time) - 2);
$hour   = substr($c_time, 0, $break);
$minute = substr($c_time, $break, 2);
  }
  $hour = (int)$hour;
  $minute = (int)$minute;

  if ( strlen($c_time) = 2 )
return false;

  if (
( $hour   = 0  $hour   = 12 ) 
( $minute = 0  $minute = 59 )
  ) {
return true;
  }
  return false;
}

It seems overly complicated, but it does check and error for the various 
things that I could think of for possible input.


Give it a try and let us know.

Thanks for the work you did, but I really wanted to try to solve this using
the more elegant way, which from my readings over the last year as a new
php developer, seemed to be the regexp methodology.  I'm so close - it's
only the 1300,1400,etc. time values that are getting by my expression.

And thank you Shiplu also for your simple, but non-regexp, solution.  Yes -
it works and I had something similar that was just missing one more check
when I decided to explore the regexp method.



How about this instead?

pre?php

$times = array(
'100',  # valid
'1100', # valid
'1300', # invalid
'01:00',# valid
'12:59',# valid
'00:01',# valid
'00:25pm',  # invalid
'', # valid
'a00',  # invalid
'00',   # invalid
);

foreach ( $times AS $time )
  echo {$time} is .(valid_date($time)?'valid':'invalid').\n;

function valid_date($time) {

  if ( ( $c_time = preg_replace('|[^\d\:]+|', '', $time) ) != $time )
return false;

  preg_match('#^(?Phour\d{1,2}):?(?Pminute\d{2})$#', $time, $m);

  if (
  $m 
  ( 0 = (int) $m['hour']12 = (int) $m['hour'] ) 
  ( 0 = (int) $m['minute']  59 = (int) $m['minute'] )

Thanks Jim,
To tell you the truth, this was handed off to me.
Thank you for the response. I knew this was just bloated code.
Thanks for verifying that for me. :)

Just one question, why does it echo the 7th and not the 1st?


I see that...  Figuring their is a logical reason...

Ah!

The first Saturday in the month of January this year WAS the 7th.  The 
1st was on a Sunday.  I would say that your date picker has issues.




Should be
20120101T162000Z
not
20120107T162000Z

Hello everyone,
Got a quick one (I hope), and probably an easy one.
For some reason it is eluding me at the moment.
Hoping someone can help.

I am building an ics file with PHP and the form that is submitting to
create this ics file has a jQuery date picker on it.
The date furnished comes to me like this Saturday, January 1, 2012,
and a time furnished like 4:20 pm with no seconds.

Now for the ics file, I need the date/time combo to be..

Ymd\THis\Z or in the case of the above date and time, 20120101T042000Z

Here is the block of code that I am using for this.



Why do you have so much code to do such a simple thing?

This works for me.

?php
$date = Saturday, January 1, 2012;
$time = 4:20 pm;

echo date('Ymd\THis\Z', strtotime($date.' '.$time));

// Outputs 20120107T162000Z

It is data, you send it in the data section of a post.  Typically you 
must also assign it to a variable as you would any other value that you 
are submitting.


What you should do is capture (using Firefox and viewing the headers) 
the communication that your browser would perform when submitting the 
data via FireFox.  Once you have that, you will then see how the data 
needs to be associated.


Sending post data via curl is a matter of formatting the data right and 
inserting it into the curl request.

Re: [PHP] Problem with AssertTag: children count wrong

2012-05-02 Thread Jim Lucas

On 05/02/2012 10:55 AM, Michael Otteneder wrote:

Hi List!

I'm trying to use phpUnit's AssertTag function to make sure that some html
code contains an ul element with exactly li items in it.

My test looks like this:


function testUnconfiguredFilter() {
  $matcher = array(
'tag' =  'ul',
'children' =  array(
'count' =  3,
'only' =  array('tag' =  'li')
)
);
$this-assertTag($matcher, $this-html, $message, $isHtml = FALSE);
}

the value of $html is:

div class=flFilterbox id=flFilterunconfiguredFilter
h3unconfiguredFilter/h3

ul class=flFilterboxInner
lia href=  FilterValue1/a  ()/li
lia href=  FilterValue2/a  ()/li
lia href=  FilterValue3/a  ()/li
/ul
/div

So I think the assertion SHOULD work - but it does not, no matter what I
use for count! Sadly PHPUnit's output ist not very helpful, all it gives me
is:

1) GeneratedFiltersTest::testUnconfiguredFilter
Failed asserting that false is true.


When dealing with classes, and specifically calling a static method 
within a class, the variable $this does not exist.  You must use 'self' 
instead.


You would need to do this instead if you wanted to use the $this way of 
things


$test = new GeneratedFiltersTest;
$test-testUnconfiguredFilter();

Plus, I am going to assume (since I don't see your code), that the 
method assertTag() is in a parent class that is inherited by the class 
GeneratedFiltersTest and again, since you are calling it via a static 
method, the inheritance would not have taken place.





Has someone got an idea whats going on? This is really freakin me out,
could not find anything about it anywhere on the web.

Kind regards,
Michael

Depends on where the data is coming from and how you are retrieving it from.

Can you provide examples of the code that retrieves the data and some of

From the manual

fgetcsv() returns NULL if an invalid handle is supplied or FALSE on

do this

Assuming this, I'd say the following:




Right here you are creating two strings within an array within an array.

My guess is you will want to replace the $secondsGap[] with $secondsGap


 $secondsGap[] = array($gap[0] * 60, $gap[1] * 60);

Implicit initializing of an array that has the following structure:
array( array(int, int) );


OK $gap comes from the loop
foreach(self::$timeGap as $gap)
self::$timeGap is a list of pairs of numbers.


 if( isset($secondsGap[1]) ) {

Trying to get the second element .. which will never happen if you
haven't added an element before the snipped you pasted here.


 $gapName = $secondsGap[0].to.$secondsGap[1];
 } else {
 $gapName = $secondsGap[0];
 }

[some-code]

I'm quite unsure what you want to do here. If you'd update the first
line as following it would always trigger the first condition:
$secondsGap = array($gap[0] * 60, $gap[1] * 60);

What this code is doing perfectly in PHP5.3 is generating the text
string to display for each time period listed in the array of pairs of
numbers ( some with a 'blank' second number and what the code returns is
a string of the format '(number1)to(number2)' or simply '(number1)' -
something fairly standard in PHP? But the nanny message says it need to
be re-writen, the question is 'How?' :(

 From my code, the number of days in a month can be found by using 0

Huh? The 0th day of next month *is* the last day of the current month,
which gives you the number of days in the current month. QED.
I think it's possible you may be being confuzled by the number of
nexts and previouses floating around. Your mktime call is asking for
the 0th day of next month, i.e. the last day of the previous month of
next month, i.e. the last day of the current month. Which is exactly
what you say works. I think. :)

However, I agree that the description is not very well worded - saying
that days in the requested month are relative to the previous month is
very odd indeed if you ask me -- if they must be relative to anything,
why not the beginning of the relevant month? Actually, with a bit more
thought, I think I'd rewrite it something like this:

The day number relative to the given month. Day numbers 1 to 28, 29,
30 or 31 (depending on the month) refer to the normal days in the
month. Numbers less than 1 refer to days in the previous month, so 0
is the last day of the preceding month, -1 the day before that, etc.
Numbers greater than the actual number of days in the month refer to
days in the following month(s).



Mike:

Very well put.

You say:


Huh? The 0th day of next month *is* the last day of the current month,
which gives you the number of days in the current month.


That IS exactly what I am saying.

But why does anyone have to use the next month to figure out how many days 
there are are in this month? Do you see my point?

It would have been better if one could use:

$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $this_month, 0, $year));
$days_in_this_month = $what_date['nday']; // note an additional key for 
getdate()

But instead, we have to use:

$next_month = $this_month +1;
$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $next_month, 0, $year));
$days_in_this_month = $what_date['mday'];

Additionally, there's a perception problem. You say that 0 of the next month 
*is* the last day of the current month -- as such, apparently months overlap in 
your (and Dan's) explanation. Well... I agree with both of you, but my 
objection is having to increase the month value by one to get the number of 
days in the current month.

That's all I was saying.

Side-point: I find it interesting that getdate() has all sorts of neat 
descriptions for the current month (such as, what weekday a numbered day is), 
but lacks how many days are in the month. Doesn't that seem odd?

Cheers,

I am surprised that nobody has come up with this one yet.

$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $this_month, 35, $year));
$days_in_this_month = 35 - $what_date['mday'];

From my code, the number of days in a month can be found by using 0
as the first index of the next month -- not the last day of the
previous month.


Huh? The 0th day of next month *is* the last day of the current month,
which gives you the number of days in the current month. QED.
I think it's possible you may be being confuzled by the number of
nexts and previouses floating around. Your mktime call is asking for
the 0th day of next month, i.e. the last day of the previous month of
next month, i.e. the last day of the current month. Which is exactly
what you say works. I think. :)

However, I agree that the description is not very well worded - saying
that days in the requested month are relative to the previous month is
very odd indeed if you ask me -- if they must be relative to anything,
why not the beginning of the relevant month? Actually, with a bit more
thought, I think I'd rewrite it something like this:

The day number relative to the given month. Day numbers 1 to 28, 29,
30 or 31 (depending on the month) refer to the normal days in the
month. Numbers less than 1 refer to days in the previous month, so 0
is the last day of the preceding month, -1 the day before that, etc.
Numbers greater than the actual number of days in the month refer to
days in the following month(s).



Mike:

Very well put.

You say:


Huh? The 0th day of next month *is* the last day of the current month,
which gives you the number of days in the current month.


That IS exactly what I am saying.

But why does anyone have to use the next month to figure out how many
days there are are in this month? Do you see my point?

It would have been better if one could use:

$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $this_month, 0, $year));
$days_in_this_month = $what_date['nday']; // note an additional key
for getdate()

But instead, we have to use:

$next_month = $this_month +1;
$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $next_month, 0, $year));
$days_in_this_month = $what_date['mday'];

Additionally, there's a perception problem. You say that 0 of the next
month *is* the last day of the current month -- as such, apparently
months overlap in your (and Dan's) explanation. Well... I agree with
both of you, but my objection is having to increase the month value by
one to get the number of days in the current month.

That's all I was saying.

Side-point: I find it interesting that getdate() has all sorts of neat
descriptions for the current month (such as, what weekday a numbered
day is), but lacks how many days are in the month. Doesn't that seem odd?

I am surprised that nobody has come up with this one yet.

$what_date = getdate(mktime(0, 0, 0, $this_month, 35, $year));
$days_in_this_month = 35 - $what_date['mday'];


Even a one liner...

$what_date = getdate(mktime(0,0,0,$this_month,35,$year)-(35 * 86400));

Spoke too soon.  Since you have to know the output of getdate() to 
calculate the minus figure... I guess that won't work.  Use the first 
one that I suggested.

Re: [PHP] curl equivalent in PHP

Hello,

I am trying to display the website content through a php code ( my own
websites; doesn't cause copy right issues ).

I use curl to display the page via the following simple code.

?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_URL, http://mytest.com;);
curl_exec ($curl);
curl_close ($curl);
?

But on some of my servers, curl isn't enabled! Is there any equivalent code
to  achieve the same?

Thank you,



As long as you do not need to perform posts to the other website via the 
PHP request, you could include, file_get_contents, fopen + fread, etc...


All you need to make sure is that allow_url_fopen is enabled.
