One other thing is you won't be able to start a session if headers
have been sent. It is a good idea to use output buffering to help
aid with this.
no it's not a good idea to use output bufferin to 'help aid' this.
instead write code that is logically structured so that the
initialization of your pages/app/scripts occurs BEFORE any output is
generated.
to avoid spurious output of whitespace avoid including the trailing
'?' is included php[-only] files. (and ignore whatever Tedd says
on the subject ;-)
If headers have been sent you'll get a nasty warning.
if (headers_sent()) {
echo oops!;
}
use code to avoid warnings.
It can be a php.ini setting or you can simply call ob_start() on
the first line of your script.
I agree with you that it is ideal to do what you're saying but it
isn't always 100% practical. Sometimes the stuff we work on is
handed down and in our purist world we'd like to change it, but
can't. So I think that you should recommend best practices for
future creations, but blindly shooting down all alternatives isn't
right. My solution would get the job done rather than the OP
refactoring the pages and not getting paid for it. It would work
and over time things could be tidied up on future revisions over time.
still, it's not a good idea because that implies a concept that you
are wanting to apply. you don't want to use output buffering if you can help
it.
output buffering to overcome output being created before headers are
[conditionally] sent in badly written code is a viable hack given
certain budgetary and/or time constraints.
what I'm saying is it's a viable solution to a immediate problem for
which you don't have the time/money to fix properly - it's more than
fine to enlighted the OP as such, I just don't think calling it a good
idea is the right thing to do - it gives the impression that your
giving it the seal-of-good-coding-practice-approval, and the OP might
just take your word for it.
Also, if you do what you've said and created your logic 100%
perfectly, there should never be any use for headers_sent(), right?
Headers shouldn't have been sent until you've specifically sent them.
true, and they are not - but if you want to be sure to avoid cruft in
the output and/or shit in the logs you program defensively for those
occasions where somebody [else?] makes a mistake of some kind.
Fair enough, you win! :)
Thank you all. Thank you very much. :-)

RE: [PHP] Word Wrap on highlight_file
One solution I can think of is:
$showCode = highlight_file($fileWithPath, true);
echo str_replace('br /', br /\n, $showCode);
It may not be the best one. But it's not recommanded to use
echo wordwrap($showCode, 70);
Because you may break br / into something like
br
/

Subject: [PHP] Word Wrap on highlight_file
Can anyone tell me how to wrap the results of highlight_file so it doesn't mess
up the size of my table div?
I tried the following and doesn't work!
if ($ext == phps) {
$showcode = highlight_file($pathtoscripts . $_GET['file']);
echo wordwrap($showcode, 70);
} else {
echo Nice try, but you are not authorised to view the source of files with
a $ext extension! ;)\n; }
Thanks,
Tom

RE: [PHP] MSSQL
Did you check that you have enabled MSSQL extension?
That is,
On XP system, you should have this line 'extension=php_msql.dll' in php.ini
file and the leading ';' be removed.
On Ubuntu, you should also install mssql extension, which is a little more
complex.
There should be no problem once you have managed mssql.
It talks to sql server 2005/2000 quite well.

Subject: [PHP] MSSQL
Hi,
I am pulling my hair out trying to set up PHP to connect to SQL Server.
The office server, running Server 2003, has SQL Server on it.
One of my computers is running XP with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.3.
Another one has Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon, Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.3
Ideally I would like to get the Linux box to connect to the main server, but I
can't even get it to recognise the server, let alone create a MSSQL link, so
I'll start off with the windows box.
I have read all the various comments in http://ca3.php.net/mssql and have tried
all the relevant ones but still no joy.
It just will not connect.
I have tried the ADO approach but get the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'com_exception' with message 'bSource:/b
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Serverbr/bDescription:/b
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.' in
D:\Apache2.2\htdocs\includes\mssqlinfo.inc:9 Stack trace: #0
D:\Apache2.2\htdocs\includes\mssqlinfo.inc(9):

include('D:\Apache2.2\ht...') #2 {main} thrown in
D:\Apache2.2\htdocs\includes\mssqlinfo.inc on line 9
Does anyone have a definite and easy to understand set of instructions as to
how to get PHP to talk to SQL Server please?
Cheers
Alexis

RE: [PHP] Which file called the function?
Richard is right.
If you want to get where __FILE__ is exactly in, __FILE__ is the option.
Else, use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. (And this should be what you expected)

Subject: [PHP] Which file called the function?
Let's say I have the following 3 files
global.php
?
function myFunc() { echo __FILE__; }
?
one.php
?
include( 'global.php' );
echo 'You are in file: ';
myFunc();
?
two.php
?
include( 'global.php' );
echo 'You are in file: ';
myFunc();
?
In each case, what is echoed out for __FILE__ is global.php. Apart from
analyzing the debug_backtrace array, is there any way that myFunc() would
display one.php and two.php respectively?
thnx,
Christoph

RE: [PHP] Input field
1.Probably that's because the function mysql_real_escape_string() is turned on. You can check that in your php.ini configuration. 2. If you want to display them as you wanted, you can use stripcslashes() on your output contents. 3. Maybe phpmyadmin automatically stripped that out. And 1. Any user input should be escaped before they went to database. You can use htmlentities(), addslashes(), strip_tags(), etc... 2. You can encapsule those functions in a function, and use it for each user input. 3. No sure. Probably they do. Anybody any ideas?

I've tried to use Eclipse PDT, and it's just generally horrible - the All-in-one has no Subversion support and no SSH support for deploying to the server properly.

I would suggest the following - a) Be sure you have the latest Java. b) Get the normal, traditional Eclipse. c) Update it (Help Software updates Find and install Search for updates of the currently installed features). Repeat if needed. d) Go to Help Software updates Find and install Search for new features to install and add the PDT site (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/). Check the PDT site and the Europa Discovery Site and click Finish (I haven't done it for a while, so could be something has changed there). When you get the result, the Update manager might complain that PDT depends on something. In this case unfold the Europa Discovery Site result (by clicking the +, if you do not unfold it the next step might not work) and click the Select Required button. This should select the minimum you need. Let me know if you run into a trouble and I'll try to send you reproducible steps. And again, Eclipse is Java, so you need a decent machine.
