Re: [PHP] your philosophy on php-design
Wilbert, On one site as an experiment, I decided to put each frame (I know you don't want to use them...read on) into a single .php. It decides what to do via a switch on $act. Consequently, it's simple to keep it consistent (menu, submenu, footer, etc.). Add item link a href=index.php?act=additemitemid=blah? Then just go through and create your table as necessary changing the subcontent as necessary. Granted, this can make for a very large .php file which will be better served using APC cache or Zend Cache. Mike... Wilbert Enserink wrote: Hi all, I'm busy building a website. I cannot use frames. Every page can be divided in a table with 3x3 cells. The row will be my main menu. The first column wil be submenu. The middel cell will display the actual content. || --main menu-- |-- |--- sub | main |sub content menu | content | || |-- |-- --footer-- || the main menu will always be the same, same as the footer -- includes the main content cell depends on which submenu function is choosen. Some submenu items are: login search in database add to your favourite items add to basket Now I was wondering how to build my site. How should I deal with a function like 'add to basket'. I mean, when a certain item is displayed and the customer wants to add it to their basket I have call the script add_to_basket.php or something like that. However I don't want to leave the page where the item is displayed, cause that's confusing to the visitor. Even more..In the 'sub-content' cell I want to display data about ordering info, like there are so many items in the basket. So I have to call upon a script which stores the info about add_to_basket, load a total new page where 1 table cell changes, namely the sub-content cell, but still displayes the original product. So, If I were to use frames It could be done, but now I'm not thinking of frames but of displaying content dynamically in a tabe cell. I would very much appreciate your expert opinion on this matter, I'm sure every idea helps me form my own ideas which I can use. maybe there are people out there who have done this kind of thing, or know about large sites which use this same concept Any philosophies are much appreciated!

Re: [PHP] Intermediate Searching... screen.
As stated elsewhere, this is somewhat similar to what you need.
(btw, NOT tested for syntax errors)
?
// $searchquery = their incoming request
// $finishedquery = an already stored request
// I use this style (inserting pointers to the searched records into a
table for temporary use. It's a halfassed form of caching)
//
if ( empty($finishedquery) ) {
echo(Searching...);
dosearch($searchquery);
echo(scriptdocument.location='$PHP_SELF?finishedquery=$searchquery;/script);
} else {
showsearch($finishedquery);
}

I don't have a good idea on how to do this and I'm looking for some
ideas or directions. How do I show one thing while the search is running
and another when the search is complete and also not loose the returned

Re: [PHP] $HTTP_SERVER_VARS
Kyle, Here's a quote I found on Usenet: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=aec2ace8.0204180402.4c562696%40posting.google.comoutput=gplain --- paste --- I think I found out what this HTTP_WEFERER is all about... I was working on a perl script having this problem. Some PCs (Client) running that script returned a HTTP_WEFERER (my PC for example) and some a correct HTTP_REFERER! Changing OS, Provider, Browser... had no effect. My last guess, was to turn off my Firewall (*Norton* Personal Firewall) and after that my PC returned a correct HTTP_REFERER! Seems to be the solution --- end paste --- Hope this helps, Mike... Kyle Gibson wrote: Whoops. It wont show unless you come from somewhere else...

Re: [PHP] rather a mysql question
Depending on your OS, there's a good possibility that the OS is caching HD data. So instead of mysql reading directly from disk, it's getting it from the memory cache. Depending on how heavily your server is used, wait 10 or 15 mins (to let the memory cache clear out) and try it again. Mike... Ando Saabas wrote: Sorry that this is more of a mysql question, but since most php programmers use it a lot, i though i might find the answer without subscribing to mysql list, here goes: When i do a query from a big table using indexes,it takes for example 5 seconds. Now if i, after some time repeat the query, the query takes about 0.5 secs. So far i thought it was because of caching, but now i read mysql (v3.23) doesnt support query cache. So this really gets me wondering, where does the speed increase come from? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Again, and Again, and AGAIN!
Are you hitting enter while in one of the fields or clicking the submit
button. I've seen versions of IE that would not set the submit button
if enter was used. Personally, I would check for isset($username)
isset($password).

I've tried repediately to have a PHP script validate a form when the form is
submitted. I'm quite new to PHP, and I'd really appreciate the help anybody
could give me. I've been stuck on this problem far to long.
I have a form (here's the code):
form method=post action=?php $PHP_SELF; ?
Username:
input type=text name=username maxlength=255 value=?
$HTTP_POST_VARS['username']; ?
The shortcut is ?php =$blah?, not ?php $blah?

Password:
input type=text name=password maxlength=8 value=?
$HTTP_POST_VARS['password']; ?
br
input type=submit name=login value=Log In
onclick=document.refresh()
document.submit() should do it, refresh() will just reload the page.
br
br
/form
And right underneath the form code, I have my PHP script:
?php
if (isset($login)) {
insert();
}
function insert() {
$db = odbc_connect('mydatabase', 'myusername', 'mypassword');
if(!$db) {
echo An error has occured. Please a

$SQLQuery = SELECT fldID FROM tblUsers WHERE fldUsername = '$username'

$cursor = odbc_exec($db, $SQLQuery);
if (!$cursor) {
echo An error has occured. Please a
href=\mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]\;e-mail/a the text below to
me.brbrbr . odbc_errormsg($db) . br~~~;
}
}
?
What I'm trying to achieve here is that when the user fills out the form,
presses the Log In button, the script underneath validates and inserts the
data into a database. Now, I click on the Log In button, nothing happens.
Could anybody please help me with this? I would really, really appreciat any
help.
