Re: [PHP] Open-source browser-based POS system?
Hi Chris, Yes, I found a number of systems on Source Forge. I should have made my question more specific . . . Anyone have any experience with an open source, browser-based POS system, and can recommend one or two for a collectable/hobby store with a large (20,000+) inventory of different items? -- John Chris Sherwood wrote: a quick search on google revealed a few things http://www.google.ca/search?q=browser+based+POSie=UTF-8oe=UTF-8hl=enmeta= try that and see if any of those meet your requirements Chris - Original Message - From: John Almberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 9:01 AM Subject: [PHP] Open-source browser-based POS system?

[PHP] Installing PHP and MySQL on Linux machine
I've got both MySQL and PHP working independantly on my Linux web server. That is, I can view PHP web pages via Apache and I can access MySQL from the command line, set up databases, tables, etc. What I can't do is get them working together. When trying to make a connection in the usual way: $dbh = mysql_connect( $HOSTNAME, $USER, $PASSWORD ) or die (couldn't connect to database\n); I get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in /var/www/html/bt/index.php on line 13 I have poured over the documents, but it looks like mysql support has been compiled in, so I'm not sure what's going on. You can view my configuration (via phpinfo printout) at: http://www.beyondtranslations.com/ Any help/advice much appreciated.

[PHP] Problems with sessions
I've got an odd problem . . . I've got a PHP site (PHP 4.2.2, Apache 1.3.26, Linux box) that uses sessions to track a user_id for each user. I use the user_id to grant various rights. This works like a dream 95% of the time. But every once in awhile, the session information gets lost. It's so rare that I have only seen it happen once or twice, but my customer, who works on the site all day, sees it 4 or 5 times a day. I added code to send me an email whenever it happens, with some debugging info. The session parameter (called $user_id), just ends up blank (actually, unset) at random times. I've tried to see some pattern, but there doesn't seem to be one. It can happen on any page at any time. It doesn't seem to correlate to times of heavy usage, either. I'm really at a loss for this. Any ideas would be mucho appreciated! -- John -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] File upload via HTML forms
Howdy, You should be able to read this file using the file system functions. The PHP process (if it is set up properly) should have read access to this directory. The problem you will have is *writing* it to your own directory, as the PHP process probably *doesn't* have write access to your directory structure. The way I got around this was to read the tmp file with the file system, and write it using FTP (which can log in to your area.) Hope this helps.

RE: [PHP] This PHP list
True, but you have to remember that a lot of 'newbies' are actually superb graphic designers with a lot of experience developing static websites. They are grappling with new demands from their customers for more dynamic features. If they don't quite grasp the difficulty of what they are trying to do, you can't blame them for trying to meet their customer's needs. I know this, because I am working with a number of web designers who have a hell of a lot more experience than I do with web sites, but they don't have the programming background. Putting the shoe on the other foot, I could mess with Photoshop for a hundred years and never get good at designing graphics. So I have a lot of respect for what these guys do. Personally, I think it's a great symbiotic relationship: programmers and graphics designers. Both creative, but in entirely different ways. I do agree that designers with paying gigs would do better to farm out the programming stuff to a real programmer, but that's something that they need to learn on their own, perhaps. Meanwhile, it doesn't hurt to answer a dumb question or two, even if the answer has to be a respectful "you don't know how big a question that is!" Just my opinion.

[PHP] Permission denied
Hi all,
I'm trying to upload a file from a client browser to my server.
On the client side, I've got:
FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php" METHOD=POST
!-- INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000" --
Send this file: INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file"
INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File"
/FORM
On the server side, I've got:
echo ("$userfilebr");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'] ."br");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type'] ."br");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size'] ."br");
echo ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] ."br");
if (move_uploaded_file($userfile,
"/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys/images/temp.jpg"))
print("moved file");
else
print("couldn't move file!");
When I try to use this, I get:
=
/tmp/phpa21470
test.jpg
image/pjpeg
21917
/tmp/phpa21470
Warning: Unable to create
'/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys/images/temp.jpg': Permission denied in
/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys/upload.php on line 57
Warning: Unable to move '/tmp/phpa21470' to
'/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys/images/temp.jpg' in
/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys/upload.php on line 57
couldn't move file!
==
I check the php.ini file and safe mode is turned off. I've also tried with a
text file, same result. I have permission to access the above directory . .
. the php files working this magic are located in
/home/jalmberg/public_html/qiksys.
Probably there is a simple answer to this question, but I'm out of ideas!
Any help???
Thanks in advance.
John

RE: [PHP] Permission denied
Hi Adam, thanks for your quick repsonse. I'm just renting space on a (Linux/Apache) server, so I don't have any control over how PHP is configured on the machine. Perhaps there is a way for me to change my 'local' PHP configuration? I don't know much about this aspect of PHP, obviously. I'm just trying to ask obvious questions. Alternatively, can my PHP application log-in, and thus obtain permission?

RE: [PHP] Permission denied
Adam, Just ran phpinfo and you are correct: the Apache User/Group is "nobody". H'. This sounds like a problem.

RE: [PHP] Permission denied
Whoopee!!!
After two days of propeller-spinning, I finally uploaded a file
successfully!!!
I had to use an FTP connection to do it, because my PHP process didn't have
permission to write files to my directory, but that's fine.
Here's the code snippet that worked the trick, with my
servername/username/password changed to protect the innocent (me!)
Thanks to Adam for putting me on the right track, vis-a-vis file
permissions.

RE: [PHP] I need an expert to tell me what I am doing wrong
You don't say where the failure is, but I'm guessing its when you do the mysql_query. Your INSERT statement looks a bit odd. Try: $sql = "INSERT INTO orders (product,name,email) VALUES ($product,$name,$email)"; John -- 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] Problems uploading Files
Hello Sebastian, What a timely posting! I am trying to figure out how to allow a user (using any internet-connected pc) to upload a file to my PHP-enabled server. I am trying to use PHP and the FTP functions, but can't figure out how to address the file on the user's machine. Any hints from anyone as to how to do this? Or am I on the wrong track, altogether? Someone else suggested that I use an HTML 'upload', but I can't find anything about this in my HTML documentation. Any help much appreciated!!!
