Re: [PHP] iterate javascript verification
When you do validation of the form in the same script that shows the
form, the normal way to do this is
?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
//
// validation here
//
}
?
This won't work if you're getting to the page via another form, since
the $_POST['submit'] is set. There two ways of avoiding this:
1) use hidden fields in each form to indicate which form was submitted
2) use a different name for each form's submit button and use that in
the above code

Hey guys,
Thanks for the input! This is pretty nice, and DOES work. I like the fact
that the fields have been into an iterative array. It's a very elegant
solution. However the problem with this approach is that if you load the
page directly it works. But if you call the page from the index.php page
you get an initial error on all fields as they are all quite naturally
empty when you first load the page.
Here's the index.php page. All it is is HTML, no php:

And here is ldap.php as was suggested:

$requestor_email = $_POST['requestor_email'];
$num_forms = $_POST['num_forms'];
}
echo centerYou will be creating $num_forms accounts

Why this happens when you call the ldap.php page from index.php but not
when you load the page directly beats me. But maybe someone can shed some
light on that?

Re: [PHP] iterate javascript verification
You do realize that you shouldn't rely on Javascript to validate
values returned in a form? Also, if you use HTML5, you can use the
required attribute in the input tag and the browser won't let a
user submit a form with a required field not filled. Of course, you
should still validate within your PHP script, in case a user is using
a browser that doesn't understand HTML5.

You will notice that I moved the code for the form to above the HTML
section. I believe that very little PHP should be interspersed with
the HTML -- it makes for cleaner code. You can use single quotes
around form attributes so you don't have to escape the double quotes.
The names in the form are now arrays. This makes your life much
easier when extracting the values later in PHP.
When you check the page in a HTML5 aware brower, you will see how the
validation is done.

I do agree with Ken that you SHOULD NOT perform JS validation. It is
preferable to use php or the new HTML5 features. JS can be turned-off by
the user which will make JS validation impossible.

Now, I realize that I have altered the string by removing the last

For the switch statement to work, you need to use switch (true)
$boxes = 1;
switch (true) {
case ($count 14):
$boxes = 3;
break;
case ($count 7 $count = 14):
$boxes = 2;
break;
case ($count = 7):
default :
$boxes = 1;
break;
}
BTW, you don't need the break statement at the end of the last case
and you don't really need the case ($count = 7) since that
condition is what remains anyway.

Once you see the database error, you will probably be able to figure

Re: [PHP] number_format
Quoting Floyd Resler fres...@adex-intl.com:
In the previous version of PHP we were using, I could pass a string
to number_format and it would just change it to a 0 without
complaint. With 5.3.6 I get an expects double error. I don't
suppose there's a way to make it work like it used to??? I'm
dealing with really old code that wasn't very well structured.
The way I would get around this would be to create a function like this:
function my_number_format($number, $decimals = 0, $dec_point = '.',
$thousands_sep = ',') {
$number += 0; //convert value to a number.
return number_format($number, $decimals, $dec_point, $thousands_sep);
}
The just do a global replace of number_format with my_number_format.
That should work, although I haven't tested it...

give.
My suspicion is that there's is an unmatched curly brace earlier in the
file. With this type of error, you'll generally get a report of a bad line
further down the file--sometimes way down--because the parser can't
recognize until it hits the later point that something is wrong. Try
double-checking that the {} blocks prior to line 1050 properly balance,
and you'll probably find there's an extra one, or that one is missing, etc.
It's more likely an unterminated quoted string.
It looks like PHP is giving up after finding
unrecognizable stuff after either the first
double or single quote on that line. If you're
using an editor that doesn't do syntax high lighting, get one.

Ken I would suggest that you figure out what is the value of the variable your passing into your query is it possible that the value is getting a ' character, in which case it would be crapping out the line... That would only occur when the script is actually executed. It's not getting that far yet, since it's dying on a syntax error during the parse. For now, try adding [addslashes]: $termnum10=addslashes(substr($dest, $start_from_which_offset,10)); $alias_sql_stmt=SELECT ani FROM ldrates WHERE ani='$termnum10';// -this is line 1050 No, mysql_real_escape_string (http://php.net/mysql_real_escape_string) should be used, not addslashes, although there are some people who have suggested that even that function is not enough and that only using stored procedures is good enough.

Re: [PHP] Local variable protection
Quoting Benjamin Coddington bcodd...@uvm.edu:
Are there any assurances that function local variables are protected
from code calling the function?
For example, I would like to provide some cryptographic functions such as
function org_secure_string($string) {
$org_key = a very random key;
return hash($string, $key);
}
function org_reveal_string($hash) {
$org_key = a very random key;
return unhash($hash, $key);
}
I'd like to protect $org_key from any code following or using these
functions. I've not yet found a way that it can be revealed, but I
wonder if anyone here can give me a definitive answer whether or not
it is possible.
It's called the scope of the variable. See
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
Variables defined in a function are only available to the function
where they are defined.

Re: [PHP] PHP within XML?
Quoting Ron Piggott ron.pigg...@actsministries.org: I am trying to figure out if it is possible to have PHP work within an XML document. The application is tracking RSS subscribers IP addresses within the database. I have wrote functions so the PHP code required is below is minimal, after the XML declaration line. Prior to posting this question I tried to have the PHP at the very start, but that doesn’t work, the declaration line needs to be first. Right now the PHP is displayed as a comment. In order for your PHP code to be processed the file should be named with a .php extension. Since you're writing XML code, you need to send an XML header type first: ?php header (Content-Type:text/xml); #load RSS XML function require_once(rss_subscribers_xml.php); $ip_address = _ip; rss_subscriber_update($ip_address); echo '?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?' . \n; ?

Try to avoid putting a database query in a loop. In the query only
ask for the fields you are going to use, it's faster. Why use your
own function to pad a string, when there is a built-in function?
Try this code (untested):
?php
$nums = range(0,);
$q = SELECT areacode, prefix FROM Test WHERE `areacode` = '907' AND
`prefix` = '200' LIMIT 5;
$rs = mysql_query($q);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
foreach ($nums as $n) {
echo
sprintf('%03d-%03d-%04d',$row['areacode'],$row['prefix'],$n) br\n;
}

Such as concatenating results with ' . $posts_row['store_tptest'] .

Sure, do something like this:

echo ($posts_row['store_tptest'] != '')?results

I'm not sure what your Subject line or the first part of your
question has to do with the second part, but you should take a look at
the substr() function http://www.php.net/substr and the pathinfo()
function http://www.php.net/pathinfo.
Combining those should give you what you're looking for.
