RE: [PHP] need for $_POST[''] changed after server upgrade
Register globals is no longer ON I believe. That is why it happened.
To fix this:
Foreach($_POST as $key = $value) ${$key} = $value;
That will convert all of your post variables to local variables.
:)

Subject: [PHP] need for $_POST[''] changed after server upgrade
Hello All,
We just upgraded our server at work, and one client's web
site stoped working. I didn't write the code, I just get to
clean up someone else's mess. :) After a little
troubleshooting, I found that forms refered back to the same
script. so far, so good. very normal. The strange part was
the variable names were just $foo not, $_POST['foo'].
After the upgrade, the variable $foo was not recognized
when the form was processed, so of course, everything failed.
My solution was to put if (isset($_POST[foo]))
{$foo=$_POST[foo]}; at the top of the script. This seems to
make everything work.
My two questions are: first, is there a better way to fix
this, and second, how did this work in the first place?
TIA
Ray

RE: [PHP] HTML - PDF PHP Package
Ok I just went through great lengths investigating this. If you have complex HTML, forget it. All the HTML - PDF conversions only work out with very simple HTML. If you are trying to convert a web page to PDF if most likely will look terrible - to check on this try it using Acrobat Distiller, assumably the best HTML to PDF converter out there (utilizing Print to PDF from browser) it still fails to output PERFECT PDF. It really bites that this isn't more easy either. That said, there are some solutions using Ghostscript, htmldoc that are really cool and fairly easy to get working!

[PHP] Some CLASS file help, should be a quick answer...
Ok so I set a variable at the top of my class definition
var $tmp;
bunch of functions
Function $func1() {
do some stuff
$n = $this-result_from_another_function($var1, $var2, $var3); //
this function returns an ARRAY
//print_r($n);
$this-tmp = $n;
}
When I try to set $this-tmp = $n, it doesn't work!? But if I print_r($n)
the array that gets returned by $this-result_from_another_function($var1,
$var2, $var3) gets printed out and I can't understand this!! There is
plenty of data in $n, but not in $this-tmp!!!
I've read a couple tutorials but none explain this very wellanyone have
any thoughts?

RE: [PHP] PHP vs. ColdFusion
Yeah - I'll second all of this. I'm a Certified Macromedia CF Developer, why do you ask am I on this list? The answer is simple, php is better. However with the recent developments in CF6, CF has become very comparable. Why would I still choose PHP over CF given this? Ease of management. I don't have to even think about the server. I spend about 1 hr a month messing around with the server (daemon restarts or php config changes). That's where LAMP's value really shines through I think you will find.

Due to past experience that I won't get into, we (the Development group) have all agreed that ASP.Net is out (at least for the short term). We had the opportunity to visit a local enterprise that has deployed ColdFusion, and they couldn't stop singing its praises. I'm partial to PHP, even after sampling Coldfusion, so what I would like is some ammunition that I can take into a meeting to sell management on PHP instead of ColdFusion. I've already been harping on the difference in cost, so I'm looking for other points to go with. Besides, we'll probably invest in Zend products if we choose PHP, and Macromedia has government rates available; I don't have any numbers (yet), but the cost difference may not be that great in the end. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Opinions are welcome (especially from programmers with experience in both), but I have to sell it to management (I'm already on the PHP side), so links to data or articles comparing the two are best. It might not be easy to put a number on, but consider your (and possibly the other developers') enthusiasm about PHP. I would guess that you will be more productive with something that you are excited about. I have done a lot of work in both ColdFusion and PHP and I much prefer PHP. There are some technical reasons (i.e., I like shared nothing), but some of it is also personal preference. I just like it. CF is fine and I don't think it's dead, but it just isn't as fun to work with. My biggest problem with CF is probably that I have to use it on Windows and, well, I really don't like that. ;) You mention being in a Windows environment so maybe you don't have a choice with that aspect.

Unfortunately you can't override this setting.

I can't seem to get table borders to look identical in ff/ie using CSS they render differently.

If changing the print settings on your machine will not work for you, then you may consider PDF, though it certainly comes with it's own hassles. kgt Matt Babineau wrote: Ok all - I've been playing with this print styl sheet thing.

[PHP] mysql_list_fields() bug?
Hey All -
just wanted to check in with anyone who has used this function. I
currectly have a function that I created, and inside it I have this
function.
Outside of my custom function I have a mysql_pconnect() statement and a
mysql_select_db() statement.
I also have another custom function that runs a SQL query and returns
the results.
My problem is why does the custom function with mysql_list_fields(),
fail to run unless I put a separate pconnect and select_db statement in
the custom function itself and my other custom function can query the DB
fine.
$db = mysql_pconnect(ip, user, password);
mysql_select_db(db);
function one() {
$db = mysql_pconnect(ip, user, password);
mysql_select_db(db);
$fields = mysql_list_fields(db, table);
}
function two() {
$q = SELECT * FROM user;
$result = mysql_query($q);
return $result;
}
So the end result being if I take the connect statement out of the
function one(), it fails, but function two() still works!
Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks,
Matt

I'm sorry, but that's about the most foolish post I've seen on this list, and

The arg_separator.output directive won't fix his problem. That just makes it so
that you can override PHP's default separator of when it builds a URL for
whatever reason (trasparent session ID propogation, for example). His question
was regarding the fact that he had changed his own code to use amp; instead of

php.ini directives, so that recommendation does no good.

[PHP] Weird problem when creating a db connection and trying to reference it in a function
Hey all-
I found another strange problem. I am creating a mysql database
connection like this:
@ $db = mysql_pconnect(host, user, pass);
mysql_select_db(dbname);
Now, I have a function that inside uses mysql_list_fields()
function getFields($table, $dbname) {
$fields = mysql_list_fields($dbname, $table);
return $fields;
}
The problem is this always errors saying it cant find the database.
However, if I ran a mysql_query(select * from users) function, it
would work fine.
Any ideas on what the deal is with this function??
Thanks,
Matt

Re: [PHP] header() refresh vs location
In this example, index.php would be a violation i think. however you
don't need to provide an absolute URL, you could provide / or ever
/index.php
I say this because the header specifying the Host had already been sent.
so you could do Location: Host + Relative_URL or Location: Relative_URL
since the browser already knows what Host you are connected to.
I could be totally wrong, just my experience in the path month or so.
Cheers!

Hi everyone: I just read the reply from Jason Wong pretty much just about my question. Using the ini_set() command at the top of all my pages I think would work out ok, but when I upload my pages to the server, how can I dynamically set the include path to match the root of my web folder on the shared server? I am working on a website, and I have a shared hosting account on a win2k machine. When I upload from my local machine to the shared hosting machine I have to change a variable on each of my pages that gives me the proper path to including the necessary files to execute the page properly. If I don't I get an error. I've included a link to the error message below. As an aside, I picked up this piece of software that lets me grab HTML or other content from web pages and puts it into its own window and gives me a link to it. I am finding it way handy for sharing these errors that I get with other people. They just click the link to view the error, rather then getting a ton of debug code in an email message. I highly recommend trying it out, makes my life a lot easier. http://www.amplifytheweb.com/amplify/?13B53210-FD7A-4DDA-999E-993D243F4 BB4 http://www.amplifytheweb.com/amplify/?13B53210-FD7A-4DDA-999E-993D243F4B B4 So my question is, Is there a way to make a custom PHP.INI sort of thing that works only for my site, that I can include in my pages so I don't have to keep changing the dang path every time I want to do an upload?

[PHP] PHP Hosting
If any PHP hosts are out there I have a question: How do you keep users from erasing / altering files out side of their web folder with PHP? Doesn't PHP run in the system user context? Is is possible to prevent a user from using PHP to alter anything but in their Web folder?

RE: [PHP] Browser Javascript capabilities
You could use a dummy page, with META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=0;URL=newpage.php?jscript=off SCRIPT location.href='newpage.php?jscript=on'; /SCRIPT What this should do is redirect if javascript is enabled or disabled giving you a URL variable to parse.

[PHP] PHP Consulting Quote Format (fro mprevious discussion)
I seem to remember a previous thread about quotes and how much other people are charging etc for PHP development.

[PHP] Sessions, how they exist and die
My question is, if I have a user on my web site, and they leave and come back does their session still exist? the file in the /tmp folder exists until it is deleted by the OS? If the user comes back will they get assigned the same session they had before? I know the questions are pretty newbish but I have had experiences in other languages in the past where this is the case. The session cookie stayed in the users browser, so they kept getting the same session and not a new session if they left and came back a day later.

Im looking for advice, as to how the experienced coders in here charge for their work. Do you charge by the page, script or by the hour (that would be nice). Not talking about what to charge but how to charge. Good question. I've travelled quite a bit and in a lot of countries a price is how much do you want to pay. Seriously, when you ask the price the answer is usually that, sometimes excactly that or other times what the seller considers you might pay based on his quick evalution of you. Now, are software companies much different than that? I don't think so. Try to get a price on some software products. Not as easy as it seems. What are you really selling? You are not selling packaged software. You are selling a service. Most, not all, services get priced by time. I worked at an ad agency and I had to account for 7.75 hours per day. I would attach my time to jobs and the account execs would bill the clients periodically (and sometimes they reduced the time I spent). Often there was the thought to bill for value provided rather than time which is tricky if not also walking an ethical borderline, imho. I love the people who bill by the project. They will spend all of 10 minutes to know a project and bid. I guess most of them hope to whine later to get more money. I would bet that this method has the most success. But then you would make more money selling drugs than providing software solutions so success is probably not measured by money or acceptance. Personally, if it's a small thing like fixing something broken in software I understand or just doing something that's pretty generic I will provide an estimate of time, as in from 4 - 8 hours. The client must trust me and be willing to pay the high figure if need be. I will usually not bill more than the high figure if I've underestimated. If it's a project (more than 15 hours) then I prefer to try and get a blueprint going so I can determine what it is I'm going to build before I agree to build it at a price. This worked for me three times, for FedEx and for an Architectural Firm and a monster type job company. Usually this method fails because your client will balk at paying for what is so obvious :) and when other developers will also agree that it's so obvious. So, imho, it is a question of who you are to determine how to charge. Best bet, imho, is to try to understand the project as much as possible and give them a decent range. Be prepared to spend a lot more time on it than you budget. Try to get the job especially since it sounds like it's your first. If they want a fixed price for something which isn't even fixed yet, heck, give it, plenty of others will. Experience helps, understanding the nature of the client helps ... I'd suggest do whatever you have to do to get the job, you want the experience more than the money (possibly).

Is there any way I can run 2 shell commands in the same execution space so that I can get the results from the first becaus eI think it is running them separately so when I try to pull the results, it has no results to pull. Does this make sense? any suggestions?
