Re: [PHP] How to get 2 columns to display?
You need a way to make new table rows...
if you want to do it ever other image, then just add a counter variable,
incrememnt it each time and if it is even then make a new table row.
(Also if the images are two big, the browser may put them on a new line, so you
might have to look into shrinking the images..)

Subject: [PHP] How to get 2 columns to display?
Hi guys,
I'm trying to get two columns of td/td to display side by side and
then go to a new row. I am using this code but nothing I seem to
do is
working this far.
?php
for ($r=0;$products = db_fetch($productsQuery);$r++)
{
?
td align=centerproducts/?php
echo $category; ?/?php echo $products['name_url']; ?
class=product_linkimg src=?php echo $base_url;
?product_images/thumbs/?php echo $products['thumb']; ? border=0
width=159br?php echo $products['name']; ?/td ?php if
((($r+1) % 2) == 0)
{
?
/tr
tr valign=top
?php
}
}
?
What is happening with this code is I am getting results like:
tr
tdIMAGE HERE/td
tdIMAGE HERE/td
tdIMAGE HERE/td
tdIMAGE HERE/td
tdIMAGE HERE/td
/tr
What I WANT is:
tr
tdIMAGE HERE/td
tdIMAGE HERE/td
/tr
tdIMAGE HERE/td
tdIMAGE HERE/td
/tr
tdIMAGE HERE/td
td/td
/tr
ANY clue where I am going wrong?
Thanks so much.

Re: [PHP] Looking for pointers to mysql functions
This would be handled in your query, so get a SQL book or look into the mysql documentation...

Now I'm trying to figure out the results part. Since my results would return about 7 fields per record, I'm thinking mysql_fetch_row over mysql results works better ? But I don't want every field from the row returned, only specific ones. Also, I want to allow for all records that meet criteria to be returned, and will set up a user variable, so they can choose how many records per page come back.

So there is no php code I need to know to get returns
on my query statement ?
Stuart
Depends on what you want to do
If you have a table with an ID, name, addr, phone for instance and you only
what the Name and phone then you could handle it in your query with: select
name, phone from table OR you could handle it in PHP with:
$result = mysql_query(Select * from table);
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)
{ echo row[1] - $row[2]br; }
Perhaps a more meaningful question would lead to a more meaningful answer.

I have a page that will be redirected to a login page if the

The page has a form in it.
When the page is loaded http://thePage the authentication works
fine. When
the submit button is pressed it doesn't. With POST it acts as if the

When redirected to the login page the login page DOES recognize
the the

wouldusually see.

Echo out your queries!

This will tell you what is going on, perhaps some of the information is not set? You
can even copy and paste the output to run against your mysql backend on the command

Hi there please have a look the code below...I dont know wht am
doing wrong
here...
This code is suppose to show the number of jokes in a mysql
database and
allows user to add a joke when the user clicks addjoke link. And
when the
joke is added, it suppose to say that Joke inserted, Thank you
and list
all the jokes below this line. So far am able to view all the
jokes and take
the user to add joke page. But the problem is when the user clicks
insertjoke button, it does not display the message Joke inserted,
Thank you and
the jokes are not listed. Infact it does not give any error
aswell, it just
stays on the add joke form page. I checked the database and no
joke is
added. Working on PHP ver 4.3.8 with register_globals turned OFF
and Apache
1.3.31. MySQL ver 4.0.20a on winXP pro SP1.
Recently i started using registre_globals OFF and all these probs
strtedcoming up. This code was working fine with globals ON. But
my hosting has it
off. So need to do so. I was able to fix all the other issues came
coz of
this global thing in this code. But stuck on the issue i just

Subject: [PHP] Socket trouble
I'm having some trouble with my socket client. I would like it to
notice when the server is no longer there, and then reconnect. I
have
code for the reconnect, etc., but I can't figure out how to write
the
socket_read code so that it notices when the server is gone and
then
responds. Presently, my client just hangs (CPU goes to 100%,
nothing
happens.)
Here's my code:
while(($buf = socket_read($socket,1,PHP_BINARY_READ)) !== false) {
$data .= $buf;
if(preg_match(/TERMINATING/,$data)) {
$msg_recv = 1;
break;
}
}
The PHP docs on socket_read suggest how this might be done:
Note: socket_read() may return a zero length string ()
indicating
the end of communication (i.e. the remote end point has closed the
connection).
Does this end of communication include cases when the socket
server
dies without gracefully disconnecting? How could my code check for
this
zero length string? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

look at this case:

in this case the array $all_names starts with index 0.
I can't put

because every next entry will get index 1 and overwrite old one

Subject: [PHP] bad programming?
We just moved a bunch of code from one web hosting company to another.
Now, one of the pages no longer works. I have been sort of
starting from
scratch, and the first line is still not working. Am I using
somethingthat I shouldn't be? Here is a code snippet:
if ($REQUEST_METHOD=='POST') {
for(reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$key=key($HTTP_POST_VARS);
next($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$this = addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$key]);
$this = strtr($this, , );
$this = strtr($this, , );
$this = strtr($this, |, );
$$key = $this;
}
}
The part that's not working is the $REQUEST_METHOD=='POST' line.
If I
replace that with if ($login) (and $login is the name of the
submit button
on the form), it works fine. I am leary of using $login...any other
suggestions?
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Mac Address Lookup
If you have the IP address, then 'nslookup' or I guess now 'dig' and 'host' would be the newere versions.

Re: [PHP] thumbnails
Hello, I did a family photo gallery, and from my experiences it would be best if you handle the thumbnail generation during the upload process. Just make sure you have a naming convention or link the thumnail into your repository/DB so you don't loose that space when you delete the record. It really does not consume too much space, pretty easy to do, and a lot easier to manage if you do it in your control environment. -Brad Ok, I know thumbnails have been discussed and I have looked at the archives, I am just looking for opinions. I am doing a small website for a used vehicle dealer. I need to make it as easy as possible for him to add new vehicles. I plan to just give him a form for the information, and a place to upload a picture. The main page will have the thumbnails of all the vehicles and as you click on each one, you will see the normal sized photo. Should I: 1. Allow him to upload one picture and then somehow generate a thumbnail from that? If so, should I generate the thumbnail when the picture is uploaded and keep the original picture and the thumbnail on the server or generate the thumbnail on the fly when the page is loaded...and only store the original picture? 2. Should I have him generate thumbnails and upload both pictures to the server?

RE: [PHP] chill out
Sorry to all who think this horse is sufficiently beat, but just to throw another couple of cents into the pot... I think this list is a product of its own behavior. Some people do get mad because of dumb or simple questions. We breed those questions though because instead of people explaining to the OP how to FIND the answers, we just type out the code for them. So, they essentially don't learn a thing and in a week or two they are back. So, it would be nice to have a concerted effort to perhaps teach/guide these newbies and others as to how to find the answers as there are numerous resources out there. Like the old saying goes, Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, but teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime. -Brad It's really funny that this happened because not more than one week ago I was discussing the professionalism of this list with one of my co-workers. I've been very happy with it, but I remember when I first joined it I asked a pretty dumb question and got slammed by a bunch of people because it was simple, but I was just overlooking the solution. It did make me feel like an idiot, but I dealt with it because this was a GREAT resource for all kinds of other information. I'd have to say that this is one of the best, most informative lists I've had the pleasure of being a part of and I'd say it's worth getting slammed every now and again if that's what I have to deal with to get solutions to my problems. :-) Cheers...

Re: [PHP] building web album - design questions
Hi, I'm planning to build a web album for my digital photographs, and have some questions regarding the design: 1) Is it better to store the images within the database, or just store pointers to the images which is put outside, in the filesystem? IMHO, store a link of pointer to the images 2) At log in, I want to show to which albums new pictures have been added since last visit. For performance reasons, should information about last added pictures be added to the database, or is it ok to make a MySQL-query each time, comparing the add-date for every picture in every album with the users last log in date? How often will this get hit? If often you could also update a string in a test file the same time you do your database/album updates. But a huge traffic is not a cause for concern you should be able to safely execute a query every time to find out the lastest pictures/albums updated. 3) If I've understood things right, there is functions within PHP that can handle picture resizing? Is that correct? Yes, some good tutorials out there. I don't know about internal PHP functions, I often just call ImageMagik from inside my php script to re-size my images, but I'm sure there are plenty of ways...

Here is an example of how I'm using fopen(): $OpenFile = fopen($site_url, 80); //$site_url = www.domainname.com/complete/path/to/the/page.htm $getFile = fread($OpenFile, 5); Simply put, how do I do the exact same thing as above with fsockopen().

Re: [PHP] Trying to add table prefix variable to query
Maybe you should assign the query to is's own value doing your string concatenation... i.e. $query = select * ...; then echo out the query: echo $query; I think you will see the problem them, I would guess that when you are adding the table_prefix to the table name that you are getting an extra space in there... So, try that out, and see if it helps -Brad This query worked until I tried to add support for a table prefix in the config file. Now it can¹t seem to find the table. Any pointers to what I am doing wrong? Thanks, v Original query: ?php include(config.php); $open = mysql_pconnect($hostname,$user,$password); mysql_select_db($db,$open); $result = mysql($db,SELECT * FROM teams WHERE username = 'admin'); $i = 0; $total_rows = mysql_numrows($result); ? This is my query: ?php include(config.php); $open = mysql_pconnect($hostname,$user,$password); mysql_select_db($db,$open); $result = mysql($db,SELECT * FROM . $table_prefix . teams WHERE username = 'admin'); $i = 0; $total_rows = mysql_numrows($result); ? This is my config file: ?php $db = sports; $hostname = localhost; $password = mypassword; $user = myuser; $table_prefix = ccl_; ?

RE: [PHP] Troubles Inserting into MYSQL
If you read:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php
You will see what $sql4 can be.
My guess would be he is connected to 2 or more different databases, and this is
specifiying which one to execute the query on.

[snip]
if ($update_type == update_Williams) {
mysql_query(INSERT INTO events ('user', 'detaildesc', 'index', 'reference',
'date_added') VALUES (\'$cookiewho\',
\'$add_Williams\',\'\',\'$row_num\',\'$last_update\'), $sql4)
or die (could not do update);
}
[/snip]
Try this
if ($update_type == update_Williams) {
mysql_query(INSERT INTO events (user, detaildesc, index, reference,
date_added)
VALUES (' . $cookiewho . ', ' . $add_Williams . ', '', ' . $row_num .
', ' . $last_update . '), $sql4)
or die (could not do update);
}
First of all, seems there is extra stuff in the query that shouldn't be
there (what is $sql4?) and you may have parentheses out of place.
HTH!

RE: [PHP] Problem with inserting values into database through php
Just and FYI update, in case someone else has this problem...
The problem was the example was using $PHP_SELF as the form action variable,
of course it has been discussed on this list that in the newer versions
of PHP, register_globals is turned off in php.ini, so $PHP_SELF had no real
meaning, so no data was actually being passed. So, just an update to change it
to:
form action=?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']? method=post
-Brad
[snip]
I´m quite a newbie in making php, but I managed to run the test you
suggested,
but nothin happened. This time it was propably the code I did:
first I added the or die(Invalid query: $sql); part and ran the form,
but everything happened just like when refreshing a page.
Then I did this:
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die(Invalid query: $sql);
echo $sql;
but the database was silentit just refreshed the page and cleared out
the form.
[/snip]
1. Here is a different method of error checking for queries;
if the query is
$query = SELECT foo FROM BAR ;
if(!($result = mysql_query($query, $database_connection))){
print(MySQL reports the following error: . mysql_error() . \n);
exit();
}
2. Check your web access and error logs for clues.
3. Does the user have permission to INSERT and/or UPDATE? If you set
thos e
on the database did you flush the grant tables?
HTH!

Re: [PHP] Image Resizing ... lets try this again.
What I found works very well for this is the function: getimagesize(); $image_file = something.jpg; $size = getimagesize($image_file); //$size[0] = height and $size[1] = width (double check on php.net) //Then just divide them... $width = $size[1]/2; $height=$size[0]/2; DISPLAY IMAHE height=$height width=$width This way it will keep the original deminsions of the photo, just cut it in half, or however much you want to cut it down. Of course this approach makes viewing eaiser, but does not really cut down on the download time of the JPG, so if that is your primary concern, then another approach may be in order? HTH -Brad I sent this email out earlier this morning and got no response. It was quite early so I thought I would send it again now that more people are hopefully at work :-) I have been trying to figure out the best way to resize photo quality images to thumbnail size and have them come out looking good. I have read about the function http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php imagecreatetruecolor() and it looks like it may do this. However I do not have GD 2 installed which is required for this function to work. In the process of trying to figure out how to install GD v2 I came across the following page. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php On this page is says; Since PHP 4.3 there is a bundeled version of the GD lib. This bundeled version has some additional features like alpha blending and should be used in preference to the external library since it's codebase is better maintained and more stable. I thought the most recent version of php was 4.2.2? Anyway if there is a better way to resize images to create high quality thumbnails I would love to hear about it. I am on a redhat 7.3 server and not very familiar with linux. I would prefer not to have to take the time involved in learning how to install new packages right now, but realize this may be unavoidable.

Re: [PHP] Link for downloading?
Question 1: I think this has to do with how you attribute your file extensions in httpd.conf (Apache thing, not PHP), so check out the docs on apache.org Question 2: I woudl tend to believe it depends what kind of link it is... is it and HTTP downlaod site (which would use the windows save file as dialog, or is it a link to an FTP site, which may use your local FTP software... HTH -Brad Hello, How to create a link that when click it will lauch file downloading at client's end. And another question which might be biased from this topic, but still related with the subject of this message: why some downloading link will lauch a ftp client such as NetAnts or Download Accelerator while other link will start a Window's builtin download window?

Re: [PHP] Re: Hardware Address
Someone already posted a solution, which was a great idea actually :-) exec(arp $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR], $output); echo H/W Addr should be: $output[1]br; Because you are on a LAN, you should be easily able to acertain the MAC address through ARP. This would not qork for non-LAN situations, but it should for you. -Brad Hello all, The application I am trying to should only be accessible from work as it is a timeclock. Consequently, a login will, unfortunately, not work. An IP address may work, but the whole university is on DHCP and I do not want t hem to clock in from other parts of the university (student labs, etc.). I am not set on using hardware addresses, but it seems like a way to do it if PHP allows, which it appears to not. I am open to any suggestions any of you might have. I believe all the computers are on the same collision domain. I dont know if that helps though...

If you look at the OSI 7 network model (used on all systems), yo u will see that PHP really operates on layers 6 7. The hardware address (MAC Address) is down on layer 2, the data link layer. The layered model is designed to assure compatibility and ease of implementation. Meaning, ea ch layer does what it is supposed to and doesn't care how the other layers accomplish their job. I highly doubt that PHP would be permitted to dig down into the network stack when it's not running as root. I'm not sure what you mean by universities and broadband isp do 'this'. If you are referring to limiting bandwidth, this should be, and usually is, done on the router level. ISP's want to limit use of their network bandwidth, not their ser ver bandwidth. Limiting use of an application is normally done through a user login. Wouldn't you want to limit the user not a specific computer? Besides, it 's easy enough to override the hardware address of a network card or even u se a different one. Easier than IP spoofing.
