Re: [PHP] Stop neurotic posting
hardly. I've answered questions on this list that I thought the answer could be easily found on google or php.net. Even more so, there are questions on this list that are CLEARLY this is what I need, can you give me code. That is silly. What people should be asking is, I can't find the answer to this question, can you point me in the right direction. That doesn't happen, however. Are you a developer, or not? Learn, figure it out, ask for guidance, but don't ask for someone to answer question like give me code or i have this idea, will it work, even though i didn't bother to even test or research it. I'm sorry, but I have no pity for the lazy. There is a difference between someone who is new looking for direction to the answer and someone who relies on this list to simply provide it without them doing any work themselves. So, go ahead and call me an elitist. That's fine. I'll just continue to Read The Fucking Manual.

Re: [PHP] PHP vs ASP.NET formal opinions request
Many people over look this, but maybe you should contact publishers who have PHP based books. Would such books be needed if there wasn't a php market? Cantact them regarding sales.

Re: [PHP] I don't understand...
You're trying to assign to a function, seriousley messed up. I
reccomend you make sure you know PHP before going any further.
Leif,
Let's try and be a little more constructive.
Jason,
mysql_query is a function, so you need to call it, not assign to
it. For example.
(is this a little of Java crap mixed in here? VB?)
mysql_query(Select * from mytable);
so, change your code to the following (making a variable $query)...
$query = Select ;
Now, I'm not sure where you are getting the mysql_fetch_array($sql_uc,
MYSQL_ASSOC) from, but there are a few problems here.
First, it;s most likely that you dont have a result-set to fetch an
array from. Also, you forgot the trailing ) in the while statement.
while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($sql_uc, MYSQL_ASSOC) )
{
$query .= {$result['field_name']} as {$result['display']} ;
}
$query .= from $season;
mysql_query($query);
I suggest you do a google search for php mysql_query

needless to say, its not working, am too new at this to know where my
fault
is so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have even added a few comments as to what i was thinkingtell me
if i
was wrong.
**Start code
?php
$vars = Array('noPlatform','noPrice','noSfee','noSpace'); // this
corresponds to the name= of each checkbox
foreach ($vars as $key) // clear all previous sessions
{
if(isset($_SESSION['$key']))
{
unset($_SESSION['$key']);
}
}
echo done1; //just checking program execution
foreach ( $vars as $ ) // if any checkboxes were checked create a
session for them
{
${$} = ( isset($_POST[$]) ? 1 : 0 );
if($==1)
{
$_SESSION[$];
echo $; //getting no output from here...I just put it here for
testing
}
}

A VS.NET license costs, what... 2 billed days of programmer time? Maybe 3 or 4 days of web monkey time. Either way, it's trivial compared to a 5% (and that's a very conservative estimate) saving in development time over 3 or 4 years use of the tool. Having said that, you have to factor in retraining costs. If it takes six months to get your old programmers up to speed, it's probably easier to stick with what you know.

Re: [PHP] controlling winamp with COM
I would think that a Java applet would be your best bet. You can have real-time updates instead of page reloads. However, you will need to write a server to handle the specific requests for the applet. That can be done in Java, C/C++, or even Perl. I would prefer Perl because of it's string manipulation strengths. However, the most important thing is to how they communicate. For this, I wouldn't got with anything else but XML.

[PHP] MYSQL Client Flags
I was interested in how to determine the number of rows matched on an
update, even if they weren't updated. The reason for this was
mysql_affected_rows() returns the number of rows affected, which my not
be the number of rows matched by the query (see the manual). So, I came
accross a post in the comment section of the online documentation that
says the following:
---
from mysql_affected_rows()
As of PHP 4.3.0 (I assume, I only tried with 4.3.2), you can make
mysql_affected_rows() return the number of rows matched, even if none
are updated. You do this by setting the CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS flag in
mysql_connect(). For some reason, not all the flags are defined in PHP,
but you can use the decimal equivalent, which for CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS is 2.
$db= mysql_connect(localhost, user, pass, false, 2);
mysql_select_db(mydb, $db);
---
from mysql_connect()
|I presume that mysql_connect() just passes through to the C MySQL API,
which provides these constants:
#define CLIENT_LONG_PASSWORD 1 /* new more secure passwords */
#define CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS 2 /* Found instead of affected rows */
#define CLIENT_LONG_FLAG 4 /* Get all column flags */
#define CLIENT_CONNECT_WITH_DB 8 /* One can specify db on connect */
#define CLIENT_NO_SCHEMA 16 /* Don't allow database.table.column */
#define CLIENT_COMPRESS 32 /* Can use compression protocol */
#define CLIENT_ODBC 64 /* Odbc client */
#define CLIENT_LOCAL_FILES 128 /* Can use LOAD DATA LOCAL */
#define CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE 256 /* Ignore spaces before '(' */
#define CLIENT_CHANGE_USER 512 /* Support the mysql_change_user() */
#define CLIENT_INTERACTIVE 1024 /* This is an interactive client */
#define CLIENT_SSL 2048 /* Switch to SSL after handshake */
#define CLIENT_IGNORE_SIGPIPE 4096 /* IGNORE sigpipes */
#define CLIENT_TRANSACTIONS 8192 /* Client knows about transactions */|
--
So, I started searching, an I found a few other flags(below). My
question: Is this list complete, does php have defined flags for these
(or do I have to define descriptive variables for the corrasponding
numbers), and is this pretty much the extent of the information I will
find on the php end of things?
CLIENT_MULTI_QUERIES
Tell the server that the client may send multi-row-queries (separated
with `;'). If this flag is not set, multi-row-queries are disabled. New
in 4.1.
CLIENT_MULTI_RESULTS
Tell the server that the client can handle multiple-result sets from
multi-queries or stored procedures. This is automatically set if
CLIENT_MULTI_QUERIES is set. New in 4.1.

[PHP] Something to watch look for when getting HEADER Warnings
Recently, I ran into a problem where I continually got a Header already
sent message.
I took me a while to figure out because the file that was included
only contained function definitions, or so I thought.
After the closing php tag, I had a new line with a single space on it.
This space was, in turn, sent to the browser.
file.php begin (blah, not working) -
?php
function seomthing()
{ //do something
}
?[enter]
[space]
file.php end --
It wasn't until I removed the single space and any additional newlines
that all worked fine.
Any non-null lines outside of the php tags will results in voiding all
rights to send any header or cache information, and this includes
space or newline characters.
Just an FYI.
file.php begin (cool, it works now) -
?php
function seomthing()
{ //do something
}
?[no newline]
file.php end --
Actually, you can have a newline after the clsoing php tab, but if you
have a
non-null string following that (this includes newline characters), bad
bad stuff can happen.

browser do the work for you.
This is good for files that are referenced from multiple entries (ie,
individual products each referencing the same series image)
but, blob can work fine.

Hi everybody, I've trying to store a into a MSSQL Server (7 or 2k) using

Is it possible that PHP (4.3.2) just store 4k of data? Because after
inserting a test image with:
$oDatos is an object that handles queries.
// storing a file
$datastring = join('',file(logo2.jpg));
$data = unpack(H*hex, $datastring);
$oDatos-query( insert into temp_test (test) values ( 0x . $data['hex']
.) );
A select will return a 4K file. Is it possible?
$row = $oDatos-getData(select test from temp_test);
//file://$row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result);
$fp = fopen('copy.jpg','w');
So... is there anyway to store a file that it is larger than 4K? Or am I
missing something? :)
Thanks.

[PHP] KEEP IMAGE RATIO
Ok, I'm surprised that this is not taken care of with HTML. I propose the following standard (but also looking for a PHP workaround if available) for the Img HTML tag: RATIO = Keep|Ignore, default Ignore lt; img width='x' height='y' RATIO='Keep|Ignore' gt; Where, RATIO=Keep will inlarge the image to a max WIDTH or HEIGHT (which ever comes first), without changing the perspective ratio. I don't want to have to use Photoshop or Gimp to ensure that the images a width=x or heigth=y will keep ratio. If anyone belongs to W3C, please consider this.

It might be more reliable to add or subtract 0 from the string and

It may just be easier to use ereg if you won't be looping through a

consider:
Image1 : 100x100 (Ratio = 1:1)
Image2 : 100x200 (Ratio = 1:2)
Space available for display : 75x75
now, i can say width=75% height=75%, but this will
only work for Image1, since Image2 will end up
as 75x150 (which clearly does not fit the 75x75 constraints)
now, if i specify width=75 height=75,
again, this works for Image1, but
not Image2, since the new Image2 ratio will be 1:1,
with Image2 losing 1/2 of it's heigth ratio.
Rather, with img width=75 height=75 ratio=keep, we will have the
following results:
Final Display:
Image1 : 75x75 : (RATIO 1x1)
Image2 : 38x75 (37.5x75) : (RATIO 1:2)
This is something simple enough for the browser to handle, and I think
it should.

anything, set variables in $_SESSION, and check it on another page, the
session variables do not exist. in fact, the session isnt even started,
cause I get an Undefined variable _SESSION. so, it looks like the

Re: [PHP] IsSet() and $_SESSION - BUG?
Hello everyone. I was able to determine what was causing my problem
with session variables not being persitant across page requests. I want
to give you the full scope here, so I'm going to paste the code (and if
you have any code tips, please let me know).
I think the problem might be this (and I don't know why it should be,
but maybe you can help):
If you look at file2.php, you will see that ValidAdminLogin() contains
the global $_SESSION; declaration., but that's not the problem.
ValidAdminLogin() calls a function ResetSessionVariables(), which also
contains global $_SESSION;. When global $_SESSION; is present in
ResetSessionVariables(), it seems as though the $_SESSION variables are
not being preserved across page requests (notice that
ResetSessionVariables() is called BEFORE the variables are set with the
real data, but it's really $_SESSION['uid'] we are concerned with.)
When I remove global $_SESSION; from ResetSessionVariables(), all
works fine across page request. Also note that $_SESSION['uid'] is set
when we return from the file2.php function calls as noted in the echo
command. So, why would a double global definintion negate $_SESSION?

[PHP] IsSet() and $_SESSION
I'm having a problem with the value that isset returns on $_SESSION
variables. For some reason, even if $_SESSION['uid'] is set, isset
returns FALSE. Here is the code:
-- file1.php ---
include file2.php;
if (!isset($_SESSION[uid])) {
// This first time $_SESSION[uid] is check, we should
// end up in here. However, ValidAdminLogin (next test)
// will set $_SESSION[uid] so next time we will not
// get here.
if ( !ValidAdminLogin($_POST[adminid],$_POST[adminpass]))
forceadminlogin();
} elseif ( !ValidAdminSession() )
forceadminlogin();
// this is done to show that $_SESSION[uid] is being set
// but isset still returns false
echo $_SESSION[uid];
-- file2.php ---
function ValidAdminLogin($user, $pass){
global $_SESSION;
if (The_MYSQL_Stuff_Is_NOT_OK) return false;
else
{
session_start();
$_SESSION[logged] = true;
$_SESSION[username] = $user;
$_SESSION[adminlogin] = true;
$_SESSION[fname] = $fname;
$_SESSION[lname] = $lname;
$_SESSION[email] = $email;
$_SESSION[uid] = session_id();
return true;
}
mysql_close();
}

Re: [PHP] Securing PHP code
For some people, putting information outside the docroot isn't possible, especially when your site is hosted. On thing you can also try (which is nowhere near the security of outside the docroot) is to put ocnfig data (user, pass, etc...) inside it's own php file that is included in outfiles. For example (assuming that php parser doesn't fail): -- configstuff.php -- ?php $user = myname; $pass = mypass; $db = mydb; ? -- end -- - Edwin - wrote: Hello, Doug Essinger-Hileman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 25 Jun 2003 at 16:42, Dan Joseph wrote: Store that file outside the docroot. That way there is no chance they can get it from the web site. I myself use an ini file that is no where near the docroot, and use parse_ini_file() to load the DB information in, and then I connect to it. This method passed our security audit with flying colors. A sample of what my ini file resembles is: [mysql_info] host = 192.168.1.1 uid = username pwd = password dbn = database They end up in a $INI array, and the fields are $INI['host'], $INI['uid'], etc.. You can read more about that function @ www.php.net. I am just beginning to use php and mysql together (I'm new to both). I am having trouble getting this to work in what I think is a very simple test. I have created mysql.ini, and put it outside the docroot: /myhome/mysql.ini. This file, in its entirety, is: [mysql_info} I think you meant [mysql_info]? (Check the closing bracket.) host=spore.org uid=myuserid passwd=mypassword Then I created a webpage with nothing more than the following: ?php parse_ini_file(/home/revref/mysql.ini); echo $INI; ? There's a good example in the manual: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php Notice that you need to do something like this: (based on your example) ?php $INI = parse_ini_file(/home/revref/mysql.ini); print_r($INI); ? - E - PS Please check the difference between print_r() and echo() as well... ...[snip]... __ Do You Yahoo!?
