[PHP] $_POST variable

[Danny]

Hi guys,

I have a form that has a long list of radio-bottons inside of it. The
radio-buttons are dynamically created via php and MySQL.

Here is an example of one of the radio buttons:

input type=radio name=?php print (radio_.$result_from_mysql) ; ? 
value=0
input type=radio name=?php print (radio_.$result_from_mysql) ; ? 
value=1

Now, when I submit this form to another page for processing, how would I catch
the above radio-button's $_POST name since I do not know the name, only that it
starts with radio_ ?

Thank You

Danny

[PHP] Quick session question

[Danny]

Hi guys,

I always start new projects with the following session code-snippet:
(In other words this is how I initialize my sessions in the index.php file.)

### START CODE SNIPPET 
?php
session_start();
setcookie(session_name(),,0,/);
unset($_COOKIE[session_name()]);
$_SESSION = array();
session_unset();
session_destroy();

session_start();


/// Define some $_SESSION variables
$_SESSION['sessionid'] = session_id() ;
$_SESSION['server'] = http://localhost/~user/new_project; ;
$_SESSION['sql_dflts'] = $_SESSION['server']./sql/sql_dflts.inc ;
$_SESSION['remoteaddr'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ;
$_SESSION['remotehost'] = gethostbyaddr ( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ) ;

/// Include Files
include ( $_SESSION['sql_dflts'] ) ;
include ( $_SESSION['server']./fnc/fnc_include_dir.inc ) ;
$var_include_dir = include_dir ( fnc ) ;

?
### END CODE SNIPPET #

All of the projects I have done so far were for business intranet purposes and
it worked fine. But last week I uploaded another project to the internet and my
sessions did not work.

I have been using it this way since v4.0 (I think, anyway since a LONG time
ago), but now I think it is a bit outdated and needs some kind of revision. Is
this still sufficient or can you guys give some tips on a more updated way of
starting my sessions?

My php.ini file is stock-standard. I am running version 5.2.6-1 with apache
2.2.9 on a Debian 5.04 machine.

Thank You

Danny

Re: [PHP] Quick session question

[Danny]

Thanks Ashley and Jim,

 When you say 'sessions did not work' what do you mean? Sessions aren't being
 created? You can't access session variables? You need to be a bit more 
 specific
 about the issue.

Sorry, here is an explanation:

The project I uploaded for a customer is a stock ordering web-app that they 
used
on their local intranet for a year or so, but now they want this same web-app to
be available globally.

I thought that it would work out-the-box on the internet but it doesn't. On
their local-lan I am able to do some (advanced) login checks with sessions with 
no
problem, like I said, it has been workng for a year or so now. Also, the same
login sequence I use here I also use in my other intranet web-apps.

However, when I uploaded this project and I log on, I just get a blank screen
after the login checks are done and it is supposed to take me to the logged-in
start page.

That is why I say that somehow my sessions are not carried over or caught 
by php.

Thanks for the comments on my session initialization, if there is not really
anything that should be changed, then I will leave it like it is.

Just one more thing, should I always expand the URL's to an absolute path
instead of using a session variable like I do?

Thnks again guys

Danny

Re: [PHP] Quick session question

[Danny]

Hi Gaurav,

Creating a local folder solved the problem. I can now catch the session
varaibles.

I think that I am too familiar with setting up everything on a local server and
forgot that there are other things to consider when you work on the internet.

Thank You

Danny
On Jun 25 10, Gaurav Kumar :
 2. Check on the server that are the sessions really getting saved on the
 server?
 3. Now in case you do not have access to a sessions folder on the server then
 set the session folder name/path to the folder (a new one) you can have access
 to (may be root of your ftp) using session_save_path('/httpdocs/
 'your-domain-folder/new-session-folder) (provide read/write permission) before
 session_start() in index.php or common header include file. This
 session_save_path() should be declared on every file on the top.
 
 Try the above and let me know if it works.

Re: [PHP] Quick session question

Hi Jim,

I followed Gaurav's tips on creating a folder to store the session info in and
it got solved. I can now catch the session variables but I got A LOT of 
include()
file errors which was solved by following your suggestion on expanding my URL's.

Thank You

Danny

On Jun 24 10, Jim Lucas :
 
 Nothing looks to be wrong with the session initiation code.  The problem is 
 more
 the likely the calls to include a remote file.  Basically, to expand your
 variables out, you would be doing this:
 
 include ( 'http://localhost/~user/new_project/sql/sql_dflts.inc' ) ;
 include ( 'http://localhost/~user/new_project/fnc/fnc_include_dir.inc' ) ;
 
 If your php.ini settings are stock, then the problem is with the
 allow_url_include directive.  It is set to 0 by default.
 
 See here: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php
 
 Change that setting to '1' and restart your web server, then you should be 
 good
 to go.

[PHP] CSV speed

[Danny Brow]

I have about 10 csv files I need to open to access data. It takes a lot
of time to search each file for the values I need. Would it be best to
just dump all the cvs files to an SQL db and then just grab what I need
from there? I'm starting to think it would make a lot of sense. What do
you guys think?

Thanks,
Dan

 Dan,
 
 I can tell you that depending on the size of your files is going to 
 dictate the route you want to go.  I have a CSV with 568,000+ lines with 
 19 different pieces to each line.  The files are around 180M apiece and 
 it takes my server about 2 seconds to run a system grep against the 
 files.  I can run a recursive call 7 times against a MySQL database with 
 the same information and it takes it about 4 seconds.
 
 IF you have system call ability, a grep wouldn't be bad, otherwise I'd 
 suggest loading the csv files into MySQL tables and checking them for 
 the information, then dropping the tables when you get the next files. 
 You can backup the databases such as a cron job overnight even.
 
 HTH,
 Wolf
 
 


Thanks that sounds like a good idea. I'm still plugging away with how I
started. I want to know how much faster it will be going with a db. I
was actually thinking of using diff for each updated file to and upload
that to the DB.

Dan

[PHP] DESC order results

[Danny Brow]

Just wondering if anyone could tell me how reliable the DESC order
option is going to be when I am parsing thousands of records where they
are multiple ChartNo's for the same clientNo. Or is there a better way
to grab the most recent ChartNo.

$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'myuser', 'mypassword') or die('Could
not connect: ' . mysql());

mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database');

$query = 'SELECT * FROM eChart WHERE clientNo = 2 ORDER BY ChartNo
DESC';

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

$line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);


// Just for testing
print mysql_num_rows($result);



Thanks,
Dan

 this is a mysql question not a php question, please try to ask questions
 in the appropriate forum.
 
 the reliability of 'ORDER BY' is not tied to the ammount of
 records returned.
 
 given that you only want the 'most recent'
 (by which I assume you mean the 'highest value') ChartNo for
 a given clientNo you should be performing a query that returns a
 single row of data.
 
 also you shouldn't be quoting values pertaining to numeric fields
 (I assume clientNo is an integer)
 
 1. assuming ChartNo is numeric:
 
 SELECT MAX(ChartNo) as chartno FROM eChart WHERE clientNo=2
 
 2. assuming ChartNo is a varchar (or similar):
 
 SELECT ChartNo FROM eChart WHERE clientNo=2 ORDER BY ChartNo DESC LIMIT 0,1
 
  
  $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'myuser', 'mypassword') or die('Could
  not connect: ' . mysql());
  
  mysql_select_db('mydatabase') or die('Could not select database');
  
  $query = 'SELECT * FROM eChart WHERE clientNo = 2 ORDER BY ChartNo

[PHP] fgetcsv

[Danny Brow]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to compare a value to the first field in a csv fILE (example
of the data below). Using while takes too long and I can't figure out
how to compare just one row at a time. I've tried some variations of the
following.


//Common for all trials
$demoID = fopen(newDemoID.csv, r);;
$ID = 43;

$data = fgetcsv($demoID);



First try with while:

/*
while ($data) {
if ($data[0] == $wolfID) {
print $data[1] . , . $data[2] . , . $data[3] .
.\n;
}
}
*/


Takes for every.

I can't use just the below because it only compares the first row.

/*
if ($data[0] == $wolfID) {
   print $data[1] . , . $data[2] . , . $data[3] . .\n;
}

*/


I know this is simple, but I've hit codes block due to lack of sleep. 

Thanks,
Dan



Sample Data:

 5,1,Smith,Myrtle
 6,2,Smith,Carita
 7,3,Smith,Paul

Re: [PHP] fgetcsv

I need to compare the first field of each row. But this idea is shot to
hell, i've been running one of the examples on the file and it's been
about an hour+ already... 6500 records have to be checked... I think
MySQL is calling my name right now.

 So are you trying to compare the first column or the first row? You've 
 said you want to compare both.
 
 To compare the first row:
 
 ?php
 
 $handle = fopen('file.csv', 'r') or die(unable to open file);
 
 $my_row = array('1','2','John Smith');
 
 $data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ,);
 
 if ($data === false) {
   echo Unable to get anything from the file.;
 }
 
 if (is_array($data)) {
   if ($data == $my_row) {
   echo The first row matched\n;
   } else {
   echo The first row didnt match\n;
   }
 }
 
 fclose($handle);
 
 
 If you really do want to compare the first column, then the time to do 
 it will be based on how big the csv file is. If you have a big file, 
 it's going to take a long time to go through each row and then look at 
 the first field.
 
 ?php
 
 $handle = fopen('file.csv', 'r') or die(unable to open file);
 
 $my_value = '1';
 
 $row_count = 0;
 while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ,)) !== FALSE) {
   $row_count++;
   if ($data[0] == $my_value) {
   echo Found my_value on row , $row_count, \n;
   } else {
   echo Did not find my_value on row , $row_count, \n;
   }
 }
 
 fclose($handle);

You are so right, takes all of 0.122 s to process the whole file with

was the problem.

[PHP] CSV date issue

[Danny Brow]

Hi,

It's been a while since I've used php and I'm trying to organize some data
by date. The problem I'm having is that when the data changes from say
2006 to 2005 the first few rows of 2005 data goes into my 2006 data and
the date for 2006 is lost. My code for separating dates is below with some
sample data. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. The date within
the 3rd column can be ignored.

TIA


 $num = count($data);
   for ($c=0; $c  $num; $c++) {
  if ($c == 5) {
 $data[5] = strftime(%m/%d/%G,strtotime('-1 Day',
strtotime($data[5]))); //Fix date, data is off by 1 day.
  }
  $date = strftime(%G,strtotime($data[5]));
 if ($date == ) { //Skip row if date field is empty.
// Skip
 } else {
if ($date == 2006) {
   $data2006 .= \ . $data[$c] .\,;
}  elseif ($date == 2005) {

[PHP] Infinite subcategories

[Danny]

Hi All,

Time ago, somebody sent a sample to the list about how to do an infinite
subcategories, based on parent field. I´ve been googling, and searching my
mail history, but cannot find it.

The objective is to create a tree with categories and subcategories of
documents, but with no limit into the subcategory depth. Anybody remember
that thread, or can point me to a solution?

Thank you
Regards

[PHP] PHP, MySQL and XML for IPodCasting

[Danny]

Hi,

I´ve got a web project that daily offers 4 o 5 mp3 files recorded by me.
From an web based interface I populate a database with titles, descripcion,
images and the path for the mp3 file in the server

The cuestion is I would like to offer the content for Ipod, using
ipodcasting. Then I have to produce a daily XML file in order the Ipods feed
from that file

How to proceed

Should I create a script to make the well-formed XML file? (echoing to a
file based into a template that I´ve got) or is there parser of something
like that? which can help me to produce that file

The scenario would be PHP 5, MySQL 5.x and Apache 2.0

Thank you in advance
Rgards

Re: [PHP] PHP, MySQL and XML for IPodCasting

[Danny]

Simply Fantastic!. Thanks a lot!

So for me the best solution I think, would be to read the MySQL Table, and
produce the XML with a given template from a PHP Script.

I will use Scheduled Task instead of CRON... (Sorry, working on windows ;-)
)

[Off topic] Could it be tested without an IPod device? I´ve been googling
around, but I don´t know much about those devices, and IPodCasters
simulators for PC

Thanks again,
Best Regards.

 I recently set-up my first Podcast... Every week I have a script that
 grabs three MP3 files from a remote server and puts them on my own
 server... Then I have another script that generates the Podcast XML.

 I am using CRON jobs to do all the work for me... all I have to do is
 open iTunes and everything starts downloading automatically is
 nice.

 The way I generate my XML is via output buffering and a simple
 text-file template. Here is my template (template.txt):

 ?xml version= 1.0?
 rss version=2.0

 Here is my PHP (pod.php):

 ?php

 # Error checking:
 if((isset($_REQUEST['pass']))  ($_REQUEST['pass'] === 'let_me_in') 
 (!empty($_REQUEST['pass']))) {

 # Begin date:
 $date_long = date('r'); // Example output: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 05:20:18
 -0500
 $date_short = date('mdy'); // Example output: 051121
 $date_slashes = date('m/d/y'); // Example output: 11/21/05
 $date_check = date('l');
 #End date.

 function randNumb() {
# Begin random # generation:
srand ((double) microtime( )*100);
$random_number = rand( );
return $random_number;
# End random # generation.
 }

 $rand_num_one = randNumb();
 $rand_num_two = randNumb();
 $rand_num_three = randNumb();


 // HTML to be written:
 ob_start();

 readfile($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/template.txt');

 $contents = ob_get_clean();
 @ob_end_clean();

 $contents = str_replace('{_dateLong_}',$date_long, $contents);
 $contents = str_replace('{_dateSlashes_}',$date_slashes, $contents);
 $contents = str_replace('{_dateShort_}',$date_short, $contents);
 $contents = str_replace('{_randNumOne_}',$rand_num_one, $contents);
 $contents = str_replace('{_randNumTwo_}',$rand_num_two, $contents);
 $contents = str_replace('{_randNumThree_}',$rand_num_three, $contents);
 $contents = str_replace('{_dateCheck_}',$date_check, $contents);

 # Now open the file and write contents of template:
 $fp =
 fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/
 path_to_place_where_you_store_the_xml_file/
 xml_file_name'.$date_check.'.xml','wb'); // Open for writing only; If
 the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
 fwrite($fp, $contents);
 fclose($fp);

 } else { echo h1Please Leave Now!/h1; }

 ?

 I then use a cron to run the above script every week, like so:

 GET http://www.your_site.com/pod.php?pass=let_me_in  /dev/null

 Or, instead of using the CRON, you can just got to the script via your
 browser like so:

 http://www.your_site.com/pod.php?pass=let_me_in

 And the XML file will generate itself.

 Please keep in mind, I quickly slapped this script together... It gets
 the job done for me... I am sure there are way

[PHP] Code generators

Hi there,

There´s a lot of manufacturers, about PHP code generators. What do you think
about that?

I mean, it seems like PHP Nuke fashion or other portal systems. Everybody
has its portal, but all web pages seems to be the same, because all are
under the same design.

I would like to gather opinions about it.

 You have 2 options

 - the other is to refresh the page when the option is selected and write
 different data into the second select box based on the option selected.
 This is a question of using echo and iterating through the data you wish

So how do you refresh the page when the drop down is selected?

 screw that too. Unix-based systems are the way to go here. From what 
 I've seen, those are the systems that are:
 a) most used
 b) run smoothest
 c) are simplest to install / manage from a distance
 d) are most up-to-date at all times

Thanks I got it worked out though, I'm going to try this also to see
what happens, I'm trying to learn the best I can and when things break
and you fix em you learn a lot more.  Thanks again.

PS this is what I did:

$db-query('UPDATE items SET item_name=?, item_desc=?, item_price=?,
extraprice=? WHERE item_id = 3',
array($_POST['title'], $_POST['description'],
$_POST['price'], $_POST['extraprice']));

I've already posted this to the list, but it may not be there yet.

[PHP] RE: Update db with $_POST

[Danny Brow]

Thanks for looking,

I figured it out, after RTFM for db, I found that I needed to do field=? 
instead of using VALUES ().



Example:

$db-query('UPDATE items SET item_name=?, item_desc=?, item_price=?, 
extraprice=? WHERE item_id = 3',
array($_POST['title'], $_POST['description'], $_POST['price'], 
$_POST['extraprice']));






I'm trying to update some form data with this db update query and it's
not working, I'm not getting an error either.

$db-query(UPDATE items SET item_name = $_POST[title], item_desc =
$_POST[description], item_price = $_POST[price], extraprice =
$_POST[extraprice] WHERE item_id = 3);

 

I've tried this:

$db-query(UPDATE items SET (item_name, item_desc, item_price,
extraprice)
   VALUES (?,?,?,?) WHERE item_id = 3,
   array($_POST['title'], $_POST['description'], $_POST['price'],
$_POST['extraprice']));

 FYI - You should at least escape the $_POST data (more filtering may be
 necessary) before you go inserting it into your database.  When using
 raw $_POST data it may be possible for someone to DROP DATABASE.

I was planning on this, but I like to get things working first then move
on to cleaning the input up. I'm still learning the db stuff, so the
less that can cause an issue the better.

[PHP] Confused - $GLOBALS

[Danny Brow]

Below is a snip of a program I am writing, I am a little new to php.
Any how, I can't for the life me figure out why one of my functions
cannot grab the item_pics1 variable. I have tried passing the variable
to the function, tried using $GLOBALS['item_pic1']. So I guess my
question is, does PHP in some cases need to have a variable in a if
statement sent back to the global scope? everything works but the
str_replace item_pics1. Hope this is enough code.


if (array_key_exists('pictures', $_POST)) {
$how_many_pics = $_POST['pictures'];
picture_input($how_many_pics);
//process_errors();
$k = '1';
while ($k = $how_many_pics) {
$item_pics1 .= td align=\center\A HREF=\pics/full_$k.jpg
\ onMouseOver=\hiLite3('img03','clickme5')\;
$item_pics1 .= img src=\pics/thumb_$k.jpg\ border=\0
\/td;
$k++;
}
html_form($title, $price, $descrip, $current_items,
$title_file_name, $errors);
} else {
print 'form method=post action=add-item.php';
print 'trtdHow Many pictures do you have?: /tdtdinput
type=text name=pictures size=2/td/tr';
print '/form';
}



function html_template() {
if (file_exists('item.html')) {
$html_template = $GLOBALS['html_template'];
$html_template = str_replace('{pictures2}',
$GLOBALS['item_pics1'], $html_template);
$html_template = str_replace('{title}', $GLOBALS['title'],
$html_template);
$html_template = str_replace('{description}',
$GLOBALS['descrip'], $html_template);
$html_template = str_replace('{price}', $GLOBALS['price'],
$html_template);
$item_file_name = $GLOBALS['root_dir'] . / . $GLOBALS['dir'] .
/item.html;
$item_fh = fopen($item_file_name, 'x+');
fwrite($item_fh, $html_template);
} else {
$GLOBALS['errors'] .= item.html template does not exsit;
}

 If you want to use a variable from outside the function, you either have 
 to pass it to the function; if you want to change it, you have to pass 
 it by reference, or make it global inside the function
 
 function foo ( $bar ) {
   /--code--/
 }

 function foo ( $bar ) {
   /--code--/
 }
 
 function foo() {
   global $var;
   /--more code--/
 }
 
See this is where the confusion is, I've tried all these and it still
does not work.  I'm going to read the whole page on variable scope a few
times, see if I missed something.  Maybe it's something else in my code
screwing my up.

Yes, I can do a print $item_pics before and after the function.

After reading this again, the function does not use $_POST at all.

here it is again.

function html_template() {

No but I'm doing that now. I'm also reading the manual on $GLOBALS right
again, this must have been something I missed the first time reading it.

 
  function html_template() {
  global $item_pics1;

 Is this file supposed to be same as the one below?
 
  $item_file_name = $GLOBALS['root_dir'] . / . $GLOBALS['dir'] .
  /item.html;

no, this is what the original item.html becomes.

In my program $GLOBALS['root_dir'] is the root directory of the program,
$GLOBALS['dir'] is created based on the current item number,
like /var/www/htdocs/items_for_sale/item1

[PHP] Creating a directory

What's the best way to create a directory with PHP, I tried using:

if (array_exists('dir',$_POST)) {
$dir_name = test123;  
shell_exec('mkdir $dir_name'); 

I don't want to have to declare a variable, I would like to do this all
on one line. Like:
shell_exec('mkdir $_POST['dir']'); // but it don't work
} else {
print Get get some coffee!;
}

I'll be putting some error checking in later :)

 I'm 99% sure you mean 'test123'.

I meant $dir_name = $_POST['dir']; This works with out the single quote.
but all my variables have single or double quotes around them.

 
   shell_exec('mkdir $dir_name');
 
 I'm 100% sure you meant to use  instead of '.

this is how I normally do this when declaring variables, but that maybe
the difference here. 

 
  } else {
  print Get get some coffee!;
 
 I'm 50% sure that should be print RTFM.

RTFM  /dev/null :)


I'm 25-50% sure that this was a complete waste of a reply to a question.

 I second that, unless you need it with latest PHP4.3.x, that Turck MMCache

 PHP-Accelerator.
 

According to the website:

This version of the Turck MMCache has been successfully tested on PHP

But David asked for something that works with PHP 5. It seems that most

 usage examples plus hundreds if not thousands of user comments that
 often contain even more coding examples.  Being able to teach yourself
 kinda goes along with being a programmer.. and PHP.net totally
 accelerates that function.
 
 Go out and try to learn Perl, Python, Java, or C (with no prior
 programming knowledge) and get back to me.  It's certainly possible,
 but I wouldn't want to learn Perl again from scratch.
 
I have to agree with this, Learning PHP 5 and the online manual are
making this very easy for me, I can almost say it's as easy as HTML. But
this maybe because I know perl.

[PHP] newbie: hmtl form to select items from mysql db

[Danny Anderson]

Hola, PHP folk!

I am slowly getting a handle on what php/mysql can do.  I have a mysql 
database that I can display in a web browswer with php.  That part is 
working just fine, but it was the easiest part, of course.

My goal is to create an order form sort of thing were a certain quantity 
of each item is specified, and the final step is creating the invoice 
with the grand total is tabulated, etc, etc.  I know this is standard 
stuff, my immediate question is more specific.

I need some direction in creating the html form where the items are 
selected.  As it stands now, I have six digit ID numbers that identify 
each item.  The first digit represents the general class of items and 
the second digit represents a sub-class.  The remaining four are arbitrary.

What I would like is for the user to
1)pick the class, see the available sub-classes
2)pick the subclass, see the items available
3)pick the item
4)pick quantity
If anybody can point me to a tutorial or examples, I would be most 
appreciative.

[PHP] 4.2.2 doesn't have mysql_real_esacpe_string()

[Danny Anderson]

Hola, PHP folk!

I am learning about PHP from a book (MySQL/PHP Database Applications). 
I have been following the examples in the book, modifying them to suit 
my purpose and experiment, etc.
I am using an old work machine my webserver.  I did a Redhat 9 install, 
adding MySQL version 4.  The 'stock' Redhat installation of PHP was 
version 4.2.2.  Having this older version had presented no problems 
until now.  The example I am currently working on uses a function 
mysql_real_escape_string(), which is only in php 4.3.0 and higher.  An 
example of the how the function is used:

[code]
$query = sprintf($query
, mysql_real_escape_string($name)
, mysql_real_escape_string($location)
, mysql_real_escape_string($email)
, mysql_real_escape_string($url)
, mysql_real_escape_string($comments)
, mysql_real_escape_string($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])
);
safe_mysql_query($query);
[/code]
I am looking for recommendations on what I should do.  I can upgrade to 
the latest version of PHP if need be, though I am not particulary eager 
to do so, since everything else has been playing nice with each other.

The lazy person inside of me is looking for a painless answer, something 
 along the lines of just use mysql_foo() instead, it does the same 
thing as that function that isn't in 4.2.2

Thanks,
Danny

[PHP] best way to specify path to a file in a $variable?

[Danny Anderson]

Hola, PHP folk-

I am using

$page_title=some page title here;
require('header.inc');
to include a common header for all my pages.  I am using $page_title so 
I can have unique names for the different pages.

//---header.inc
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN
html
  head
title?php echo $page_title; ?/title
link rel=stylesheet href=./some.css type=text/css
  /head
body
...


I want to be able to also define the path to the CSS file.  For 
instance, some pages will have the CSS in the same directory, so that 
part would read

./my.css

If the page is located in a subdirectory, the path would then be

../my.css

I would like to use a php variable where I can define the path the same 
way as the $page_title works.  I have tried some experiments with a 
$path_to_css variable, but I have not had much success.  I think part of 
the problem is that I might be stumbling over escaping everything properly.

Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks,
Danny

[PHP] Apache 2.0.48 won't play nice with php 4.3.4 ?

[Danny Anderson]

Hola, PHP folk!

I hope this is an appropriate forum for this:

I am setting up a Redhat 9 webserver to serve as my testbed for a little 
php/mysql app I want to develop.  I installed RH9 without the 
webserver/php/mysql so I could manually install the most current versions.
MySQL 4.0.16 installed fine, Apache (httpd-2.0.48) installed fine.  PHP 
4.3.4 seemed to install fine.  Unfortunately, when I try to start the 
webserver with php, I get the following error:
'...httpd: module 
/usr/local/php-4.3.4/sapi/apache2handlers/sapi_apache2.c is not 
compatible with this version of Apache.

Help!  Is there a work around for this?  Apache will start fine if I 
don't try to enable php via LoadModule in the Apache configuration file.

Any comments and suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Danny

 Finally a workaround to the problem in mail() in PHP  I did the
posting
 somewhere, so I'll cut to the chase by posting it here  My recent
 posting does not work too well

 --clip--
 This is for any Unix or Linux machine using the Sendmail.  However, no
 guarentee that it would work in Windows.

 Some SMTP won't accept e-mail with the From: host@domain without the
 suffix com, like domain.com, so using the From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
option
 in the $header in the mail() does not solve the problem for me.

 Someone suggest using the php.ini with the configuration by adding the -f
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the sendmail path.  Example look like this

 --clip--
 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 --clip--

 This is not an option for me because it is limit to one user, not more
than
 one and it override the From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] option in the $header in
 mail()..  So, Finally there is a workaround to the problem and it is very
 simple  Just add this entrie to the /etc/hosts file in Unix or Linux.
 Just substitute the word in bracket for a value
 --clip--
 ip addressmachine's_host.domain.com
 --clip--

 Example ...
 --clip--
 123.456.789.012  xyz.abc.com
 --clip--

 Make sure your machine do the search order with the host first before the
 DNS or Nameserver.  In my case in AIX, is /etc/netsvc.conf.

 Hope

 Make sure your machine is set to read the host file first before the DNS
or
 the nameserver, if not then make some changes to it.  In my case for AIX,
it
 is /etc/netsvc.conf...

 Hope this help

[PHP] Re: [SOAP] Re: soap post and http 1.1 100 continue

[Danny Shepherd]

From: Dominik Wittenbeck [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 3:28 PM
Subject: [SOAP] Re: soap post and http 1.1 100 continue


 Yep, know that one,

 Why it does happen:
 although the HTTP 1.1 spec states that a HTTP 100 SHOULD NOT (or was it
MUST
 NOT ;-) to the client, unless it requires it by a specific header, IIS
does
 it with webservices and thereby about any that are published and
maintained
 with .NET ;-)

Not quite right :

An origin server SHOULD NOT send a 100 (Continue) response if the request
message does not include an Expect request-header field with the
100-continue expectation, and MUST NOT send a 100 (Continue) response if
such a request comes from an HTTP/1.0 (or earlier) client. There is an
exception to this rule: for compatibility with RFC 2068, a server MAY send a
100 (Continue) status in response to an HTTP/1.1 PUT or POST request that
does not include an Expect request-header field with the 100-continue
expectation. This exception, the purpose of which is to minimize any client
processing delays associated with an undeclared wait for 100 (Continue)
status, applies only to HTTP/1.1 requests, and not to requests with any
other HTTP-version value.

 Solution:
 A HTTP 100 basically states: ok I am ready for your content now. You
have
 probably submitted your content already... resend it, but the content
only,
 without the \r\n\r\n mark that separates headers from payload with HTTP.
 To serve a clean solution you should however go ahead and implement a
 listener that tries to hear a HTTP 100. With PHP this is kind of tiresome.
 In my implementation I also just resend the payload ;-)

A HTTP 100 basically states ok based on your headers I won't reject your
body data, so send it now - handy for services which need to check specific
headers. Imagine if the client sent 5MBs of data only to have it knocked
back because an authorization header wasn't present. :-)

I suppose a better solution would be to use the 100-Continue properly (i.e.
send headers + with an expect header and no body) or send HTTP/1.0 requests.

Hi,

Where did he say he wanted to use Word to edit PHP files? AFAICT the idea
was to automatically upload Word files, presumably to make them available on
an Intranet for download etc.

As for uploading a file automatically - PHP isn't going to do it. An app
which can map a virtual drive in Windows would probably be the best bet - I
think Windows has built in support for mapping WebDAV and FTP servers as
shares so this may be a good starting point.

 MS Word for editing PHP files? That is very, very bad ... You will never

 best for you.

  Currently I need to first save it on my desktop, then upload that copy
  to a php-supported server.

 Oh well, there are four ways to accomplish this.


 1. Professional way:

 Using CVS. CVS (cvshome.org) is a system that allows you to version your
 files. This, in two words, works this way: in CVS, you `checkout'
 (update) a file, edit it, and save it (if somebody else edited that file
 while you edited yours both changes will merge). CVS is the most
 professional solution for this thing.


 2. Simplest way:

 Use a mapped networking like Samba. This will mean that you will see
 your server just as it was a hard disk on your windows. You dragdrop
 files there and the same will occur remotely. Not a very secure way,
 though.


 3. FTP integrated tool:

 Get a good editor that has some FTP integration. It will means that when
 you `save' a file in your editor, it will automatically FTP that file on
 the server. A very tool-dependent way but can work. Very cruel when
 something goes wrong, though. Again, Zend IDE and Edit Plus can do that.


 4. The Geeky way:

 Edit all your files in a simple VIM or other fancy directly on the
 server by logging there with telnet or SSH.


 Have fun.

Re: [PHP] Apache 2 and PHP 4.2.3.

[Danny Shepherd]

In short - looks as if your version of Apache 2 is out of date.

You're using a version from 28th June, the PHP dll was built against a
version from 3rd September.

Danny.

 Hi!

 When I am laoding php as module:
 LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll

 I get the following error:
 Apache.exe: module c:\php4build\snap\sapi\apache2filter\sapi_apache2.c
is not
 compatible with this version of Apache (found 20020628, need 20020903).
 Please contact the vendor for the correct version.

 What I am doing wrong?

 Thanx in advance
 Horst

Re: [PHP] Re: GD 1.5

[Danny Shepherd]

Actually, GD2 can be compiled (after a patch) to read/write GIFs with LZW
compression (the LZW algorithm is the root of the legal iffyness), but
(AFAIK) you're only legally allowed to enable it if you live outside the US
 Canada. AFAIK only FreeBSD's ports system does this atm.

 If the OP was concerned about such issues then
 he/she should not be using GIF at all!

 This is leading me to believe that I can't use GIFs
 because of these issues. Is this true? I know now that
 Unisys (Unisys?) made a fuss about some compression or
 whatever, but someone told me it was still okay to use
 old GDs (am I naive? maybe). Is it now considered
 piracy to use GIFs at all? Does this mean I have to
 switch over to JPGs, even those images that compress
 better with GIFs? I just assumed we were still
 permitted, what with Jasc and everybody still allowing
 it in their products. Is JPEG (or PNG) the way to go?
 I hesitate using PNGs since they seem to be the
 least-supported out of the 'big three'.
