RE: [PHP] Destroying session data
Closing the browser sends nothing to the webserver and with most webservers, the server has forgotten that you were ever there. When using sessions, you connect your browser and request a page, and that request is accompanied with a session key that is stored in a cookie on the browser machine by domain. PHP takes it on faith that IF this cookie comes with the request, it should match a session datastore, and it looks, and if it finds one, it uses that session when the session_start() function is called (now it remembers you, so to speak). As the script wraps up the session datastore is updated with any new session data, using a probability factor set in php.ini, it may do some extra processing to cleanup old expired sessions. Since the page has already been transmitted in it's entirety to the browser, and the browser should now be working to render the page, this extra process should have no noticeable impact on the user experience. This Garbage Cleanup routine will scan the entire datastore looking for session records that are older than allowed by another php.ini parameter (gc_maxlifetime), and removes them (gc stands for Garbage Cleanup). Keep in mind that this garbage collection will probably not remove the session that pertain to the browser that triggers the cleanup, but rather it will remove session records for other sessions that have not been referenced for a while. In php you can write your own session management handler routines and attach them to your php process. Check out some of the following; http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php Studying these routines can teach you a lot about how sessions work. If you can get your users to log out instead of closing their browser, you have a chance to execute a script that will then kill a session and that usually removes an individual session data record.

I have multiple pages on a website that uses sessions ($_SESSION) to store the data. However, I noticed that in the C:\Windows\Temp directory, all the session variables/data files are stored there from previous (and current) sessions. My question is: when the session is logged out or ended (via closing the browser or however), should these data files (which look like sess_fd983aedf93ceeioa8332890bcd, etc) not be destroyed? If not, is there a way to automatically destroy them because I don't want to have to go in each day/week/month and delete these session data files manually? Are these data files considered to be cookies? Just to clarify, I know how to destroy session variables... I want to know how to destroy the files that contain those variables after they're no longer being used. I have RTFM and I can't seem to find the answer.

RE: [PHP] Destroying session data
Okay, lemme see if I understand how it works. Even if it sees it as garbage, it will not destroy it until the session has ended? or will destroy when that time is reached? So can I set session.gc_maxlifetime to be a low number (e.g., 10 seconds) and it will still behave appropriately? Currently, it's set to the default - 1440. Actually the way most garbage cleanup routines work, the session datastore will be removed regardless of whether it is in use or not. Here comes the tricky stuff, if php has sent a page to the browser and has satisfied your browsers request, and your user is reviewing the contents of the page to decide his next action, as far as apache and php are concerned, that users session is no longer in use. But, if in the process of preparing that page, it was using sessions, it would have stamped the session datastore with a new timestamp, so the garbage cleanup routine would not consider it an old datastore and remove it. If the user waits a long time (longer than gc_maxlifetime in seconds) before doing something, when someone else requests a page, their session could trigger a cleanup process and your session could be deleted. If your script is running, fetches the session datastore, and has not reached the end of it's processing where it rewrites the datastore with updated data and a new timestamp, if during that time the file is deleted, no harm done since the save session routine of your script will make sure the datastore is created and write stuff back into if from it's memory image. I guess that is what PHP would consider in use, whereas your user will consider the time he is mulling over his response as in use, even if he gets up to get a cup of coffee before responding.

RE: [PHP] Random data loss.
Could be a problem of multiple update modules for the same table. When I've encountered this problem in the past it's been one of two causes. 1. In the process of maintaining the table one routine that has no price information, retrieves the row and notices that the something needs to be changed, and instead of only updating columns that have changed it seeks to update all of them (perhaps satisfying one programmers sense of order), and since it has no price info, it replaces the price with zero (good rule IMHO; only update columns that you know need to be changed). 2. Update queries that did not specify all the appropriate where clauses, thereby updating multiple rows, and perhaps in this case updating with zero prices (perhaps contributed to by coding all elements as above). (a rule that I apply to myself, not necessarily quite as good as the previous rule, use artificial keys [auto increment fields] and update with unique [or a list of] artificial key in the where clause). One nice thing about auto increment primary keys is they are self locking in that no two insert rows can get the same artificial key, even if the insert occurs at the same time (at least in MySQL). Take a look at the text in your actual queries and read them over and over, the answer is there. Don't consider this an exhaustive list, there are lots of people out there more clever than I coming up with new ways to loose data every day. But this is where I would start.

RE: [PHP] Go Back Problem
If your php form is entered via a post, my experience is that most browsers do not save post information, therefore, clicking back to a page that was entered via a form using the post method, the browser complains that it does not have enough information to display the form, and that you must retry or something like that. I have found that the simplest way to avoid this is divide each page into two php routines. Displaypage.php will check in session data for contents for the form, or fetch the information from the database, then it will format the html for the page with values from session variables or from the database. The action field of this form will specify the postform.php routine below. Postform.php will perform all validations and echo nothing to the browser. It will then either update session data or post the valid data to the database. The only output of this routine is a header sending the browser back to the previous module displaypage.php when it has done all it can. Notice that anytime you use a header to redirect the browser you can send variables if you need to via the URL parameter list ?var1=1var2=2 string (they show up in the $_GET array). These variables are saved by all browsers that I know about, which means your displaypage.php program is never entered via a post (and always via a get), and because the redirect comes from the postform.php page, the postform.php module is removed from the browser history list by the redirect. This means that every click of the back button, or JavaScript history reference (-1) will take you back to the previous entry in the history list and if you are consistent, none of them will have been entered via a form post (i.e. no complaints). Hope this was clearer than mud, good luck.

RE: [PHP] PhP e COBOL
Sure, 1. In PHP/Mysql extract rows and save them to a file in delimited fashion, for numeric values be sure to align all the number digits (cobol is dependent on numeric fields being aligned), you can do this with sprintf(%09.02f,$dbfloat); Your delimiter character can be any character that is not a part of any of your data, I tend to favor the vertical bar |. 2. FTP the file to the system with COBOL (I am assuming mainframe but it doesn't matter) using a character transfer type which will convert all ascii characters to their EBCDIC equivalants. Most mainframe systems support tcp/ip (required for ftp), and if your shop uses products like NDM (network data mover), look closely, ftp is actually doing the transfer between unix/mainframe in the guise of NDM. Your mainframe TSO id/password should be all that is needed to do the transfer, and yes, it can occur while you are signed on. NOTE: assuming IBM Mainframe, if you do second FTP connection and use the SITE JES command, and follow that with a GET filename where filename on the mainframe contains execution JCL, the JOB will be submitted if your id has sufficient access, and FTP is supposed to wait until the job is complete and transfer the JES output back to your server file. In my shop this tranfer back part doesn't work (perhaps I'm not using the right SYSOUT class, not sure), so I cause all the output from my job to go to a physical file on the mainframe, but because the wait part works, I can then establish another FTP connection (after the job has completed and without the SITE command), and GET the file left behind by the job. 3. In COBOL, read a variable length record from the transferred file and UNSTRING the record contents into your element definitions, delimited by your delimiter character above. You may have to UNSTRING numeric values into a PIC X(?) data element first, and then do a second UNSTRING to break apart the digits to the left or to the right of the decimal. Now you are free to do what you need to with the data in COBOL.

As you can see from the above, theses a checkbox (url[])
which holds the value of the URL and a textbox (txt[]) which
holds some description text, in the above there are only 3
rows but actually there are 200 per page. When the form is
submitted how do I make sure that if url[] is unchecked even
txt[] should not be taken?
These values will be entered into the database so I need

RE: [PHP] Authentification related to browser window
I'm not sure which session parameter controls it, but my sites are setup so that opening a new browser window will start a new session, and if your pages require something in the session saying the user is logged on, he will be forced to logon in the new session, since the variable will not be there. I believe the parameter is the same one that tells it to terminate a session when closing the browser. To make this work, EVERY single page looks for this special session variable, and if not found in the session array it redirects the visitor to the signon page. This means that if his session times out, he will also be sent to the signon page, next time he tries to change pages. With two separate session id's, one for each browser instance, the two browsers operate pretty much independently, each using their own session data.

RE: [PHP] problem with include()
How did you go to the page that included the login page, if you included it
in the tiny_edit.php (which is the routine that sets the cookie in the
browser, you need to cause the browser to send it back to you by doing a
redirect;
Header(Location: tiny_edit.php);
Exit;
When tiny_edit is entered the second time it should be able to retrieve the
cookie. (this is basically what you are doing manually by refreshing the
browser).

Hello,
I have a login page .. the user types in user and pass then the form

tiny_edit.php checks user and pass then sets a cookie if auth is successful.
Then the original login page is included. The login page has logic at the
top to check for the auth cookie ... if there, it sends user to home page

the user auths ... the cookie gets set ... then the login page is included

their browser ... why is this happening?

RE: [PHP] Session and validation
You might consider another approach, if you are using php5. It's called PRADO, I believe it was overall winner of the PHP programming contest sponsored by ZEND. http://www.zend.com/php5/contest/contest.php?id=36single=1 This is how the product is described; snip--- PRADO is an event-driven and component-based framework for Web application development in PHP5. Developing a Web application with PRADO mainly involves instantiating prebuilt and application-specific component types, configuring them by setting their properties, and composing them into application tasks. Some repetitive and tedious work, such as form field validation and page state management, can be accomplished easily in this fashion with the provided PRADO components. Using PRADO to develop Web application will bring you familarity of developing desktop GUI application with RAD tools such as Borland Delphi, Visual Basic, etc. You will also find it is like ASP.NET in many aspects. - snip--- I haven't tried this myself, but it looks like it may be geared to what you are seeking. Much of the rave seems to be it's event driven nature (unusual for web apps). I hope to be using it myself in the next few months. If the reviews are any clue, I would expect it to become part of a future release of PHP. Time will tell.

Pear provides two packages (the second an extension of the first): http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm http://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm_Controller I've never used these as I wrote my own library to handle this a few years ago, but from what I understand these two packages will do the trick. Basically it will work thusly: 1) On a page where you need a form, you declare a new form object, specify all your inputs, how they should be validated, etc., and these are then stored in the session. 2) On the receiving page you call the form validation object, passing in an identifier for which form should be validated. 3) If it validates your script will continue unfettered, else it will update the values in the session with the appropriate error message and redirect you back to the original form, which, since you are using session variables to display the inputs, will now be updated with the error messages.

RE: [PHP] Review: Function that measures the width of a text stri ng in pixels.
There is a function in the GD library that measures text size;
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettfbbox.php
But it has an advantage you don't have, once it has places exactly the font
it wants, the size it wants, directly into an image, it knows that the
browser won't change the image. With the font inside an image, the browser
won't substitute another font, or use a different size because the one you
have specified in your font statement is not available on the users machine.
Perhaps there is a way for JavaScript to send you a list of available fonts
on the end users machine? Course the end user could have fonts you never
heard of. I think this is one of those things (like hand grenades and horse
shoes) where being close counts. ;-)

Subject: [PHP] Default value if parameter is not passed in
Right now, I'm tweaking a function that has a bunch of optional parameters.
I would like to be able to set a default value for the very last one if it
is not passed in. This essentially looks like:
if (zend_parse_parameters(ZEND_NUM_ARGS() TSRMLS_CC, r|ssl, link, arg1,
arg1_len, arg2, arg2_len, long, long_len) == FAILURE { RETURN_FALSE; }
if (!long || long==NULL) {
long=DEFAULT_VALUE;
}
However, what I found when printing out the value of long is that it has
been set to 1?! I imagine this was by the zend_parse_parameters function.
Is there a way to disable it from setting values to optional parameters?

RE: [PHP] Pure PHP menu tree
Do you really want to have every single click go back to the server and then have the browser need to reload your entire page just to expand a limb (not sure limb is the right term) of the tree? That is what you would have to do to be pure PHP solution since the only place PHP can execute is on the server. JavaScript is generally accepted as the solution that will produce the fastest user interface response, because it runs in the browser machine, and does not require the trip to the server and back just to expand a part of the tree. There are a couple of really good js solutions available, blueshoes has a good one. http://www.blueshoes.org/en/javascript/tree/ If you are willing to distribute PHP to each workstation along with your code, you could consider creating a PHP GUI (Windows type) application that does not execute through a browser.

RE: [PHP] Is there any way of knowing User Currently Logged On?
If you code in php something like the following, you just might be able to
use the perl script;
$ok = exec(path/to/Perl myperscriptname.pl server, $result); // you may
have to straighten out syntax
Foreach($result as $line) {
echo $line; // or you could process the results
}
Hope this helps,

Subject: [PHP] Is there any way of knowing User Currently Logged On?
Hi Guys,
Is there any way of finding the current user logged on the remote system
I have a perl script which gets the user name who is currently logged on a
remote Windows Machine
#LoggedOnUsers(server, userRef).pl
use Win32::NetAdmin;
use strict;
use vars qw($server @users_list);
if(@ARGV0){
$server=$ARGV[0];
}
else{
print \n\nEnter a valid Hostname or IP Address : ;
chomp($server=STDIN); }
Win32::NetAdmin::LoggedOnUsers($server,[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
foreach(@users_list) {
print \n$server-- $_;
}
This one gets the users logged in on a remote Windows machine , Is there a
similar way of finding / doing the same regardless of an OS, Can it be done
through a Web Browser
Any Clues ??

RE: [PHP] Determining the length (in an audio sense) of an MP3
Haven't looked specifically at mp3 but with most sound formats the sample rate divided into the number of characters in the file should produce the time length (i.e. 22000 samples per second divided into a 44 byte data length results in 20 seconds of sound). Seems to me that with most formats (wav, etc) the sample rate is recorded with the data so that the player can play back at the correct rate. Not familiar with oog but did find some references to ogg (google is your friend here). http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/wave.htm Google produced the following on mp3 http://mpgedit.org/mpgedit/mpeg_format/MP3Format.html http://mpgedit.org/mpgedit/mpeg_format/mpeghdr.htm Hope this helps, Warren Vail -Original Message- From: Paul Reinheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Determining the length (in an audio sense) of an MP3 Hi, I am trying to determine the length (in terms of seconds) of an MP3 file.

RE: [PHP] Session.gc_maxlifetime?
This is my understanding; When you use session_start(); in your script it sets a condition that will cause a session write of the contents of the $_SESSION array to the session repository (by default a file whose name contains the session ID) when the script has ended. At that time the record timestamp (file last modified date/time) should be modified or reset to the current time. To answer your question below, I believe technically the timestamp is very close to the script end time for a script containing a session_start() call (not the actual time of the session_start() call is executed). Periodically the gc (garbage cleanup) process is invoked, at which time all sessions whose timestamp is checked to see how old they are and if they precede the current timestamp minus the gc_maxlifetime value, they are to be removed from the repository. Notice that the processing above is accomplished when the script has ended (sent it's last output to the browser). By invoking the gc process at this time it never has a direct impact on the response time or the users experience, unless they are awfully fast with the mouse. I have in the past found that the GC routines are not invoked every invocation of a script, but rather a probability factor causes the GC routine to be invoked on only some percentage of the calls to session start to avoid adding needless load to the server (i.e. say 10% of all script executions may trigger a call to the GC routine). To offset this I had to make sure that when session_start() retrieved old session values (session_read), I had to add checks to make sure I wasn't reading an old session that had expired but had just not been cleaned up yet. You can learn a lot about sessions by coding and testing your own session_handler routines; http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php There are lots of other good tutorials in books on php programming. Warren Vail -Original Message- From: Suhas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 9:30 AM To: php-general Subject: [PHP] Session.gc_maxlifetime? Hello, I just want to make sure that I understand this concept. When i read thr' docs, session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up and default value is 1440. My guess is : A. 1440 seconds from last visit to the page (where session id is used), B. 1440 seconds from session_start() function call My general understanding is a session can be idle for 1440 seconds. If a php page tried to refer to a session which is been idle more than 1440 seconds, there is very little chance that page will access to session data. Can any one please explain or send links or more docs on this?

RE: [PHP] Session handlers
I have used MySQL sessions and session handler routines to perform the following; 1. I was able to set different session timeouts for different applications as long as each application used a different session table. The garbage cleanup routines could be programmed to ignore the global session limit and use different session life times for the different tables (a different set of routines for each application). 2. I was able to use session table to look over site users shoulders (so to speak) and by watching key session variables was able to monitor who was using different areas of the site. Obviously this kind of thing would be totally unmanageable for a public site, but on an intranet, I had phone numbers for all users and when something got hung, I was able to identify the user and give them a call while the problem was occurring. I also used this over the shoulder technique once to identify a hacker, and kicked him off the site by deleting his session entry, forcing him to logon again, course his password had been changed, and this only slowed him down for a little while, but it sure felt good. I'm sure there are many other uses, so I'll be watching this thread.

RE: [PHP] choose upload folder
Marek is correct the behavior of the browse file selector is essentially a client side thing, and not directly controllable from PHP. One difficulty is how to know when a directory is clicked because it is selected, or clicked because the operator wanted the directory expanded, because he wanted to select a directory inside that one. If you can get past these difficulties, you can always use the php function; http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dirname.php to make sure that you are working with the dirname portion of a path. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php to make sure that the file is a directory. I am basically puzzled by what you are trying to do since you should not be able to touch anything in the client's folders from your PHP server application. Perhaps what you meant to provide was a way for the user to choose a directory on your server? In which case, the input type=file will not work at all. Where did you expect the user to select a directory/folder from? Your server or the user's browser machine?

RE: [PHP] thumbnail of webpage
I have been looking into this over the last week and have come up blank as well. Doing this manually is simple, point your browser to your URL, and in windows use altprint Scrn to copy an image of the rendering in the browser to the scratch-pad, then paste the image into a tool like paint to cut out the part of the image you want, and use the skew/stretch tool in paint to create the thumbnail (GD is a good solution as well) saving the file as a jpg image. The difficulties with php is that opening the URL with fopen or using CURL allows getting the content of a page in html form, but provides no bitmap rendering of all that, let alone allowing JavaScript to alter the presentation as it would in a browser. What would be useful, if there were a way to open the URL in an IFRAME, and with JavaScript somehow capture a bitmap of the rendering of the web page, perhaps encoding the bitmap as mod64 characters and placing the result in a textarea for posting as input to a php script. This was the best solution that I could come up with but I don't have the skills to make this happen, yet. Question for anyone here, is does this sound like a path that might work? Can JavaScript access the rendered content of a webpage in window bitmap form? In my travels, someone had suggested coding something using mozilla and invoking it from a php script, but no one has done this yet that I can determine.

RE: [PHP] remote script execution
Ignoring PHP for a moment; to execute a string of commands on a remote machine using ssh you would execute the following; Promptssh -l user ps -ef|grep edit;cd /usr/local/bin;ls -la Which would result in showing any edit processes, followed by a listing of the contents of the /usr/local/bin directory. Notice that I did not include a password (this is not needed if the two servers have already exchanged security keys), and as near as I know, cannot be supplied unless you are there to type it in on a tty type device, so be sure to get the keys setup properly. You will also need the client program ssh installed on the originating machine, and the daemon sshd installed on the remote machine, but then you probably knew that ;-) In PHP simply; $cmd = ssh -l user \ps -ef|grep edit;cd /usr/local/bin;ls -la; $rtn = exec($cmd, $responselines); http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php $responselines is now an array containing lines of output from the commands.

You start out by exchanging encryption keys between the two servers and because of this handshake, each server trusts the other in a way that the correct execution permissions can be established on server 2, and of course the data sent between the servers is encrypted rendering it virtually useless to third parties. Google for ssh for more info.

RE: [PHP] how can I get the fileversion?
Pedro, Your question is difficult to answer because it is not specific enough. First I tried to identify what you meant by version number. I tried right clicking on the desktop, no version number. I opened windows explorer and tried right clicking on a file listed there, and got modification dates, but no version number. I opened an internet explorer and right clicked on a blank area of the page in the browser window, and properties there did not show me version number. Here is the difficulty, the interface most often used to respond to clicks is a GUI, and PHP doesn't have a GUI, unless you are considering GTK, which you didn't mention. Typical web based applications (like those programmed in PHP) use the web browser as it's GUI, and since PHP only responds to clicks as defined in HTML (not sure how you'd get right clicks). Your question asked about Windows and PHP and to get a good answer, you probably need to be more specific about each. Where in windows do you see your version number?

RE: [PHP] PHP- Dependant dropdown based on Mysql queries
You are presented with some difficult design choices and limitations. The way I believe you are envisioning things may not work. The problem that you face is that PHP only runs on the server when preparing the page. You are asking some interactions to take place once the web page is presented by your browser, and JavaScript is the language of choice to make this happen because it runs in your browser, however, it cannot access your database directly (that I know of), so you are forced to go back to PHP which must access the database again, and present a new, slightly different page, reflecting your visitors choices so far (I don't believe there is a way for PHP to update part of a page unless it is allowed to update a hidden frame and JavaScript gets the new data from the hidden frame [a level of complexity and risk I'd not want to take on]). If the data required to support the choices is small enough (and you indicated it was not), loading things into a JavaScript array, and letting JavaScript step through the choices using the arrays would give the best apparent response, but the choice almost becomes one of accepting a long response to preload all the data in one page, or suffer the slow response of having each menu selection have to go back to the server and rebuild the page.

RE: [PHP] Browser back button
I struggled with this one as well and the solution is quite simple; 1. Every PHP module that is reached via the action field in a form where the method is POST (most of mine are) never outputs any html except a http redirect (it will edit values, update the database, save session data, then does a redirect). header(Location:.); 2. Every PHP module that is reached via a hotlink or redirect (above) is free to output html to the browser, acting on or displaying data from the database, using session data, or data coded in the URL parameter list; Mymodule.php?parm1=parm2=parm3= $a = $_GET[parm1];// like this $b = $_GET[parm2]; $c = $_GET[parm3]; With these two types of modules, you can build your entire application. I believe the cause of this problem is that most browsers don't save POST data in the history stack, when you click the back button and the browser detects that the previous page was entered via a POST is knows it doesn't have enough saved information to reconstruct the page (passed data is missing, and complains). I also believe the browser replaces an entry in the history stack (i.e. your form POST) when it receives a redirect url, effectively removing all url's that had been entered with a POST from the history stack and replacing them with GET requests.

One of the features is an event calendar. The events are listed by date, not in a calendar view, but a list with a short description of the event. This part is no problem. What I am not sure about as far as a best method is the next part. Each event could have a longer description. The client wants to be able to style this longer description using formatting and images, but does not want to have to code the HTML into a textarea and then upload the images via ftp or whatever. The idea I came up with is to have a few pre-defined layouts they can choose from. Some of which could incorporate some images. Once the style is picked and the text is entered (different fields get different styles applied) the submit the data, and if the style makes images a part of the layout, I give them a form based image upload feature. Another thought was to have them upload .html files and the images via a form, but then I thought this could really cause problems if they had screwed up code.

RE: [PHP] Re: webserver response-time, how?
One thing you can count on this list, if I say something incorrect, it will
get corrected, so stay tuned.
I had made some assumptions that perhaps I shouldn't have. I assumed that
your remote server was a typical machine running apache, php, mysql, and
lots of other stuff.
I don't believe pings are answered by the apache server daemon, which I
think is what you are trying to measure. I believe pings are responded to
at a very primitive level within the tcp/ip software, for example you may
get a successful ping on a server, but the apache web server could be shut
down. I think pings even use a different tcp/ip port number.
Suppose you did this;
Create a simple page on the remote server that echoes a short page, small
enough to fit in a single packet if possible. Something like;
?php echo Hello; ?
You write an application to run on your local machine, perhaps also using
php;
?php
For($x=0; $x1; $x++) {
$s = microtime();
$fp = fopen(remoteurl,r);
$page = fread($fp,1);
$f = microtime();
At this point you will need to process the microtime to determine
elapsed time
$accum += $elapsed;
}
... At this point $x contains number of hits and $accum will give you total
time
... You can get the average time from this
In this example you've minimized the amount of execution time and transfer
time for the page by making it small, so most of elapsed time will be the
response time you are looking for. By using a php script at the remote end,
you are measuring the load times, if any for PHP and your Script.
If the time clocks were exactly in sync on both servers, you could have the
remote page echo the microtime on that server, and you could compare the
two, but since they are probably very different, that will not work.
Somehow I think coming close is the best you are going to be able to do.
Good luck,
Warren Vail

Sounds like a good plan, but if this is outside a firewall on the open internet, it could present some security risks. I'll assume for the moment that it's not. If your script that sends the email can store the information from the form into the database and assign it a unique number, then your hotlink on the email only needs to have the number. My expectation would be, that after giving this some thought you will decide you need the person receiving the email to have the ability to change some of the data on the email. Another approach might be to send an email alert that contains a url to a page that presents a list of pending requests, and your user could then authorize several at once. I also know you can send an email form in html (you can google for help on this one), but I am not sure if the form can post the data, perhaps if the person receiving email is using outlook, don't know.

RE: [PHP] javascript type cast
I, for one, am not convinced that this all that far off topic. Since the accepted method to generate browser interaction with server side PHP, is to use Javascript, it doesn't seem any more off-topic than dealing with database questions about MySQL. I am probably like most PHP developers, with a very weak knowledge of Javascript, and while that makes the question feel like being off-topic, I'm not sure it should be.

RE: [PHP] Showing all users who are logged in
I did one application where I used the PHP session table to tell who was logged on, and which area of the application they were most recently in. One of several flaws, was that I used Kill session to logoff, and that caused them to disappear from any count of users logged on. Course, if they had logged off, then they weren't logged on, but on the other side, users were counted for every session they created, and closing and opening new browser sessions caused them to be counted multiple times, and continue to be counted until session garbage cleanup removed their session entries, unless I used the session timestamp in my count algorithm. Session was nice, because if a user was causing a problem, I could kill his session entry, effectively logging him off, forcing him to logon again.

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...
Have you considered an imbedded frame? (Looks like a textarea, with the ability to imbed all types of controls (and tables) within it). I'm not sure that all browsers support IFRAME yet, but the most widely used one does. Another approach would be to use sprinf() formatting to imbed leading/trailing spaces to allow everything to line up, assuming your text area uses a fixed pitch font like courier.

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...
Yes, but by nature, it must be a separate form. What appears in the IFRAME is like any other frame, an entire web page, and as a separate web page and separate form, it must have it's own submit button (within the form).

RE: [PHP] textarea/display question...
That is a tough question to answer simply, but the basic answer is yes.
What appears in the IFRAME is actually another web page, complete with it's
own set of controls and it's own form, and something to trigger the
submission of that form (separately from the page containing the IFRAME).
Suppose your entire form consisted of a collection of text controls (one for
each cell in your table);
Assume you have your data in a 2 dimension array $darray. To display the
array on a page;
Echo table;
For($row = 0; $row $height; $row++) {
echo tr;
for($col = 0; $col $width; $col++) {
echo tdinput type=text name=\farray[.$row.][.$col.]\
.value=\.$darray[$row][$col].\/td\n;
}
echo /tr;
}
Echo /table;
This would look much like a VB grid control, notice that a table by itself
is not an input type control. This is just one solution, and so many are
available. Notice that the form will return a multi-dimension array;
$returnarray = $_GET[farray];
Hope this gets you started.
