RE: [PHP] rounding up
Is there a PHP command to round up to the nearest integer? www.php.net/ceil www.php.net/round These are the correct functions, but take great care in reading the user contributed notes in the round function concerning x.5 rounding randomness. Sometimes this can get you. If you want to be sure 4.5 always rounds to 5, add a fudge factor smaller than your precision, but larger than the precision of the computer. $value = 4.5; $fudge = 0.001; round($value) sometimes returns 5 round($value) sometimes returns 4 $fudgedvalue = $value + $fudge; round($fudgedvalue) = 5 This comes into play often when you do things like split a long list of items into two columns on your web page and you use PHP (or any language) to figure out where to end the first column and start the second. It should be noted that this is not a PHP issue. It affects any language which relies on the hardware to compute. Fun stuff eh?

Subject: RE: [PHP] Site Structure
G'day all, I thought I'd mention how I developed my last project and got
around some of these problems, bear with me it can be quite complicated.
==
==
===
In the development we had to develop on many different servers, mine at
home, my partners at his place then two different ones at work. Here's the
site structure (Red Hat 7):
/var/www/api/ -- all my code outside of the web tree
config/-- where all the API's config
files go (*.cfg)
0.1/ -- version 0.1 of my API
modules/ -- all of my 0.1 version modules (*.lib)
0.2/ -- version 0.2 of my API
modules/ -- all of my 0.2 version modules (*.lib)
/var/www/html/v1/ -- version 1 of the site (/html is
Red Hat 7's name for
/htdocs)
/var/www/html/v2/ -- version 2
---
[in PHP.INI] include_path =
.:/var/www/api/config:/var/www/api/modules
In each /HTML/?? directory there is a file - api_connect.cfg
[in api_connect.cfg] include 'api01.cfg'
This basically says use version 0.1 of the API for this website.
This way as
I experiment and change my source code I can make an entire new version
branch of my source code (i.e., make /var/www/api/0.3/modules) and change
the 'api_connect.cfg' file to suit.
* How to access in a PHP and/or HTML-hybrid file?
Easy! ?php include 'api_connect.cfg'; ? at the top of your document.
--For-example--
My index file has a login form, therefore my index.html has the code
?php include 'api_connect.cfg';
// do other processing here, since that code sets up my API
connection I
can use all my objects
$dbase = new ApiDbaseConn(); //etc, etc, etc
?
HTML
!-- blah, blah, blah --
/HTML
The include process would look like: --I-- Includes
/var/www/html/v1/index.html --I--
/var/www/html/v1/api_connect.cfg --I-- /var/www/api/config/api01.cfg

I would suggest putting your includes out of the web tree.

Call the includes with the full pathname. I know this stinks, but is a good

This is true and I do this in .htaccess or in the main Apache config file when possible. However, for those who do not have control over the main config file, you are at the mercy of the system operator. They could turn off looking at your .htaccess files and not have the Files directive to hide the .inc files and then your code you thought private is not private at all. The moral of this is to always assume the worst and put those .inc files anywhere, but the web tree. However, do this only if you care about protecting the contents.

You can always add a "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to the fourth field
which includes additional email headers.
However, the real solution is for your provider to fix their setup to change
the address to a proper one as the mail moves through and leaves their

RE: [PHP] CGI Question?
This has been true since CGI began in the NSCA days. Any program that can take input from STDIN and output to STDOUT works as a CGI program. Languages I have actually used in the CGI bin include, C, C++, AWK, Sh, PHP and of course Perl. The C program simply has to deal with the CGI variables coming in on STDIN. There are probably many C libraries available to help parse this out into an array or something. This is actually a very good method if you want the fastest speed possible form a web application. Compile the C program statically for the best speed.

RE: [PHP] Date Question
You might try converting these dates to Unix time and then compare the
numbers as integers.
Let's see, here is a function that converts the data from a MySQL date field
to a Unix timestamp...
function mysql_to_epoch ($datestr)
{
list($year,$month,$day,$hour,$minute,$second) =
split("([^0-9])",$datestr);
return date("U",mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year));
}
And here is where I use it to calculate the age of the item in the database.
$epochTime = mysql_to_epoch($messageCreated);
$currentEpochTime = time();
$ageInSeconds = $currentEpochTime - $epochTime;
I hope this provides a clue for your application.

If it is on a Unix box, it most likely is the Unix time value; It is the number of seconds since the UNIX Epoch which I believe starts at 0 seconds in January 1970.

[PHP] Redirect using PHP to a new browser window.
List,
I current use something like this to send some one who clicks on my links to
the actual web page.
$row = @mysql_fetch_array($result);
$url = $row["url"];
$ID = $row["ID"];
header("Location: $url");
header("");
And then the hitcounter for that particular ID is incremented, thus the
reason for this whole script.
This works great. However, I would like the option to open up the target in
a new window like when you specify "target="somewindowname" in the a
href... tag.
How can I accomplish the same thing with the header or ... sigh ... can I
not do this.

Hi,
I working on Redhat Linux 6.1 and I've installed
MySQL-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm and MySQL-client-3.23.33-1.i386.rpm.
MySql is working fine. I've even created a database also using
MySqlAdmin.
Regarding Php I've installed php-3.0.18-1.6.x.i386.rpm and as for
Apache : apache-1.3.14-2.6.2.i386.rpm.
I've even installed php-mysql-3.0.16-1.i386.rpm and
mod-php3-3.0.12-2.i386.rpm.
My problem is I can't connect PHP to Mysql Db using the
mysyql_connect("localhost","root","mypassword") command.
mypassword is the same password you used for mysqladmin, and the command
line interpreter for the root user, right?
Try this command and see what it returns. If the error message doesn't
give you a good idea what is wrong, please post again, including the
error message you receive.
mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "mypassword" ) or
die( "Unable to connectBR" . mysql_error());
I suggest you always use this code, along with:
mysql_select_db( "database" ) or
die( "Unable to selectBR" . mysql_error());
in every program you write. It is almost impossible to troubleshoot
problems if you don't know what went wrong.

RE: [PHP] Double Click
If you are lucky and are feeding this form data to a database, you can create a unique hash field from other fields that would not change from click 1 to click 2. Then just make the database treat the hash as a unique index and it should prevent double entries. Works for me. Other advice is to not tell the double clicker that had an error; Just silently ignore their second request. -Original Message- From: Manuel Lemos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 2:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Double Click Hello Fabian, On 28-Feb-01 03:01:02, you wrote: Hi, I have a page, and when I have to add a product I use a form, many people are used to make double click in every task, so when the product is sent with a double click in the send button, the program send it twice to the data base.

RE: [PHP] Image in a Template
In my humble opinion, I would place the actual images in your web directory and put the file names into the database so build your image tags. Sure the db can store the actual image data, but I really believe that the filesystem is the better medium for the raw files. Name the image relating to the product ID to keep the many files organized and unique. My two cents. -Original Message- From: Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Image in a Template Hi All, I am writing a catalog and shopping cart.

I run it and get..

Hello World
Great. Now how do I get rid of the Content-type line? I have searched the

What is the meaning of a URL that has two periods in it? For example http://www.myloc.aristesoftware.com Where does that take the sufer relative to the root of aristesoftware.com? Todd Somewhere the above host name resolves to an IP address. It is just a different host. In the world of domain names , arietesoftware is a subnet of ".com" and "myloc" is a subnet of "aristesoftware.com" with "www" finally being a host in the subnet "myloc.aristesoftware.com." Also, com= root domain aristesoftware = 2nd level domain myloc = 3rd level domain www= host in the 3rd level domain This could go on forever.

I'm opening the files in a directory, and trying to find the most

of 12/31/1969 for all my files, and when I try to print out the
modification
timestamp from filemtime directly I get nothing.
If you look at the code you can see. Nothing is printed out at print
$fileDate.
It is a windows NT system could this be the problem. Having troubles
with the UNIX timestamp?
while (false!=($file = readdir($handle))) { // read all files in dir
if ($file != "." $file != "..") { // only if file is not . or ..
$fileDate = filemtime($file); // get date from file
$newDate = filemtime($newFile); // get date from newFile
print $fileDate;
if ($newDate $fileDate) { // if file is newer
$newFile = $file; // replace newFile with
newer file
}
}

RE: [PHP] 404 error checker
Ah yes, this seems to stem from the fact the "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" is really a kind if redirect. What's weird about this is if you use it one way (in the .htaccess) the PHP variables that appear are pre-redirect. If you put "Errordocument 404 /404.php" into the httpd.conf the PHP variables are post-redirect and are just as if you went straight to the 404.php page. I am sure I am missing some kind of Apache "point-of-view," but is it working for most of my URLs now. Some ancient CGI accesses come in now and again and they show this problem. However, thanks for the idea and code. Even as just a 404 trigger, this is very useful. The emails are starting to show just how many old URLs exist on my servers.

RE: [PHP] 404 error checker
After some experimenting I find this 404.php program only shows the original missing file when the .htaccess file has the "ErrorDocument 404 /404.php" phrase. One might assume that putting this directly into the httpd.conf file of the Apache server would perform the same thing. Indeed, the value of where the link came from does survive, but the value of the missing file is always 404.php, not the actual missing page. Strange. Jason, Thanks for the pointer. Worked like a charm, well almost. I had to tweak my .htaccess file as it was messing up some global variables cause i was using absolute URLS to point to my error script. Someone else ask to see the script. You can check it at: http://www.social-ecology.org/404.txt The top part of the script actually does all the funky passing of error info to a selected email, and the bottom part is the page that is displayed upon a 404 error. You'll have to mess with your .htaccess so it looks something like this: ErrorDocument 404 /404.php Thanks again!

RE: [PHP] PHP Editors... perhaps Ultraedit
Karl, I suggest Ultraedit (on the PC) at http://www.ultraedit.com. I use it along side Dreamweaver with good results and good organization. Ultraedit (out of the box) does not know about PHP; you configure it with one of the several wordlist files and then you will have syntax highlighting. I try to use Dreamweaver to organize and FTP the files back and forth from server to workstation. However, I have frequently used the built in FTP Load/Save ability in Ultraedit; This is a great timesaver. All of this is besides the point if you already know another editor like Emacs where finding a PHP mode in that editor will get you going full speed in less time. Still, an editor is just an editor so I will suggest at least looking at Ultraedit. If you have any problems configuring the wordlist (a tedious task) please feel free to email me off list and I will help you as best I can. Regards. John So what editor is recommended? I'm a little familiar with Emacs (kinda cool, but I'm use to keywords and such being colored - as in Interdev).
