Re: [PHP] question regarding Reflection

Hello All,
I am developing a unit test generator for PHP. The generated tests would be
PHPUnit2 compatible and I will be using the Reflection API to generate the
tests. The tests would be generated only for classes and written on PHP
5.0.3 compatible.
My question is to use the Reflection API, I need to import the original
class for which I am generating tests. For example to generate a tests for
class Company which is in Company.php:
include_once('company.php');
$c = new ReflectionClass('Company');
If I have to generate test for many classes at once, it would be foolish to
have them included in my file on the runtime. Am I understanding it
a complex app can have 100's of classes, not usually all loaded at once but
still.
the upper limit is depends on how much memory your generation process is allowed
to grow to, how often you [need to] run it, how process-intensive it is to run
the generation and how big your iron is.
you might consider using forking in a master process and letting a series of
child processes each handle a chunk of all the classes to generate tests for,
basically running in parallel.
I don't see how you can avoid loading many classes 'at once', why do you
think this is foolish [by definition]?
hth.
correctly ?
Thank you for your help

Cheers, Rich Isn't it more work for PHP, or rather the Zend engine, to keep track of a bunch of functions that aren't being used, not to mention the memory it takes to load in one huge file. I agree that putting each function in it's own file is going a bit too far in the other direction. I tend to group functions together by purpose into seperate files. Kind of a happy medium.

What do you return from the onsubmit? If the onsubmit code evaluates to
true then the form will be submitted causing the page source to change
which would cause unpredictable results for the AJAX response depending
on several race conditions. Can I suggest you let us see the whole form
so we can see exactly what the onsubmit code does.

I'm guessing that trhe onclick and onsumbit handlers you set are hanging
on a 'submit' type input? .. if so the form is submitting - in whcih case the
AJAX request will arrive back at your page - and the page won't be there (so
to speak). try changing your onsubmit to something like:
input type=submit value=submit onclick=myAjaxFunction(); return false;/
the return false tells the browser block form submission.. the same technique
is used to validate forms and stop submission in case of errors (in such cases
the boolean return is conditional e.g.:
input type=submit value=submit onsubmit=return myValidationFunction();/
Sorry about my english (I'm from the third world ;) )
whatever happened to the 'second world'? and since
when is it a competition? ;-)
Regards,

Federico.
I find a lot of this AJAX stuff a bit of a hype. Lots of people have
been using similar things long before it became AJAX. And it really
isn't as complicated as a lot of people make it out to be. Here is a
simple example from one of my apps. First the Javascript:
function createRequestObject() {
var ro;
var browser = navigator.appName;
if(browser == Microsoft Internet Explorer){
ro = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLHTTP);
}else{
ro = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
return ro;
}
var http = createRequestObject();
function sndReq(action) {
http.open('get', 'rpc.php?action='+action);
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
http.send(null);
}
function handleResponse() {
if(http.readyState == 4){
var response = http.responseText;
var update = new Array();
if(response.indexOf('|' != -1)) {
update = response.split('|');
document.getElementById(update[0]).innerHTML = update[1];
}
}
}
This creates a request object along with a send request and handle
response function. So to actually use it, you could include this js in
your page. Then to make one of these backend requests you would tie it
to something. Like an onclick event or a straight href like this:
a href=javascript:sndReq('foo') [foo]/a
That means that when someone clicks on that link what actually happens
is that a backend request to rpc.php?action=foo will be sent.
In rpc.php you might have something like this:
switch($_REQUEST['action']) {
case 'foo':
/* do something */
echo foo|foo done;
break;
...
}
Now, look at handleResponse. It parses the foo|foo done string and
splits it on the '|' and uses whatever is before the '|' as the dom
element id in your page and the part after as the new innerHTML of that
element. That means if you have a div tag like this in your page:
div id=foo
/div
Once you click on that link, that will dynamically be changed to:
div id=foo
foo done
/div
That's all there is to it. Everything else is just building on top of
this. Replacing my simple response id|text syntax with a richer XML
format and makine the request much more complicated as well. Before you
blindly install large AJAX libraries, have a go at rolling your own
functionality so you know exactly how it works and you only make it as
complicated as you need. Often you don't need much more than what I
have shown here.
Expanding this approach a bit to send multiple parameters in the
request, for example, would be really simple. Something like:
function sndReqArg(action,arg) {
http.open('get', 'rpc.php?action='+action+'arg='+arg);
http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
http.send(null);
}
And your handleResponse can easily be expanded to do much more
interesting things than just replacing the contents of a div.

No, because you're calling trigger_error, not myErrorHandler.
The order of parameters for trigger_error is as follows[1]:
bool trigger_error ( string error_msg [, int error_type] )
trigger_error will, when called, either call your user-defined handler
with the correct errno, errstr, errfile, errline etc, or, if you haven't
defined one, it will use the error handling methods set up in PHP
(log_errors or display_errors).

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
Thank you Richard, I think I'd better explain a little about the project and then you or somebody else might give some good suggestion upon the restrictions of the project. The project is to implement a digital library protocol, called oai_pmh (http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html) It acts as a broker for the harvester client to get meta data from libraries that have Z39.50 server. The database resides on libraries, and vary alot in speed, number of records, way to accept connection from z39.50 client. The number of records from some libraries might be over million. So the part that getting data from those libraries behave very differently. The harvester client sends http request, normally through program, like perl LWP. It normally sets 180 time out for connection. According to the protocol, the oai_pmh data provider act on respond to harvester http request, it begin to connect to specific library's z39.50 server, get data in, write them to disk, and translate to another xml format, then send to harvester client. If the records are too many, oai_pmh should send back partial data with resumption token. The harvester can later send out http request with same url but with the resumption token as one of the POST variable to get further data records. This process can be continueing till all the records has been send. Thus I noramlly use perl program to send the http request and get content instead of BROWSER. The behavior of buffer should not due to the setting of the browser. I can not echo the metadata directly back, since xlst need to use to transform and new xml file(s) are writen. The header() redirction is very nature to use if it can close the connection before I do something very time consumming after that. The exec with and the cron job are hard to use, since connection to z39.50 with a lot of state variables like connection id, etc can not easily be passed to another script. The harvester user normally is not a human with browser but a piece of code, while looping and sending out http requests if the page it gets back has resumptionToken tag. (it replace the element between open and close tag of resumptionToken, append to the next http request as POST variable for next records page). But the problem is each http request posts a timeout of 180 seconds. Thus I have to return partical data within 3 minutes while the whole process might take hours or even days. Then the process continue to get data from library server and transform it, then write to disk in a particular directory. The next request with resumption token comes in, the program will check for the existing of the directory and return if yes. If not existing, program will check to return within 3 minutes or send back not available information. Sorry for the long writting. I hope some one has some suggestion for me. Thank you very much. --- I now encounter a problem with flow control of my program with PHP. This is very crucial to the design of a pretty big project.

But since I am pretty new to PHP, I have some questions, naive maybe, about what you wrote. #!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 \n What does the Send.php look like? I do not have idea how a shell interprets an php script and what the parameter 12 means here. If you do not mind, could you please also let me look at your Send.php? I dunno what his Send script looks like, but that 12 isn't a 12 at all. It's a 1 with a symbol and then a 2. The symbol probably got eaten by somebody's email program somewhere along the way. See, in some Linux/Un*x shells (errr, like DOS prompt only not broken) there is the idea of standard output which is where your basic output messages go. There is also standard error where your ERROR messages go. On Linux/Unix file systems, stdout (standard output) is bound to a special file which lives in /dev/1 -- it's not really really a file, but a device but to send stuff to the standard output -- which is generally your screen, you can just write it to /dev/1 and it gets there. For shorthand, in shell scripts, you can just use 1 to mean /dev/1 Similarly, standard error is /dev/2 and you can use 2 So, what he really had was 12 which was saying: Take anything that was supposed to go to 1 (standard output) and send it (the symbol) into 2 (standard error) So he's telling the shell (operating system) to combine any normal output into the error output so it's one big mess of output. You can learn more about this stuff (though it may be a bit overwhelming at first) by searching for man bash or reading an introductory Linux textbook or resource on-line. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
On Thu, July 21, 2005 8:40 pm, Liang ZHONG said: I now encounter a problem with flow control of my program with PHP. This is very crucial to the design of a pretty big project. This is what I want to do in the program: ?php do_A(); header(Location: .$result_of_do_A); Depending on the buffering options in php.ini and/or Apache, this may or may not just end your program, as I understand it. Once you send the Location header, everything else is irrelevant, or at least not reliable. You could do: echo $result_of_do_A; flush(); and the user will see what happened with A, while waiting for B. do_B(); ? Since it takes do_B() quite a while to finish, so I want the http client get the partial result from do_A() by redirect a page to them before start do_B(). But it seems that the redirection will only occure after the entire php program finishes, i.e., after do_B(). I sent http request through browser, curl comman line with -N (no buffer) option and with a perl LWP program I wrote. All of them suggest that header(), although is put before do_B() in code, gets executed only after all the php code finished. I add flush() after header() too, but no work. If that is what you are seeing happen, you probably have output buffering turned on The Location: header is acted upon by the BROWSER, not by PHP, not by your server. The BROWSER sees that header and then jumps to somewhere else. My question is: Is there any way that I can return to the client though http response and then continue my progress with my program? You could also look into the pcntl stuff to fork() or, depending on various settings, you might get: exec(do_B() ); to get B to happen in the background. With all that said: As a general rule, when I found myself doing this kind of stuff, I later realized that I hadn't really designed my application very well for an end-user experience. If it takes THAT long to finish B, then you're probably MUCH better off putting something in a ToDo List in your database, and doing B later in a cron job. Then notify the user through email or some kind of status display that they will see on your site frequently when B is done NEVER make the user sit around waiting for your server. Human time is far far far too precious (and expensive!) to waste it sitting around doing nothing useful waiting for your program to finish. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
Thank you Rouvas, I never used the tools you mentioned. But I will definitely give them a try. I wrote a perl script using LWP as an http user agent. and the timing function you suggested. It works well. I am new to this forum, and new to PHP. It seems Rasmus is famous, and I should have shown my respect. Thanks again all of you for your kindly help. Hi Liang, trying to get conclusive results with browsers is futile. Use a command-line tool (like curl) to invoke the web pages and get the results. Or you can use PHP's own function to query the web server and do your own timing with microtime() function or another suitable for your purposes. In order for flush() results to reach you (in a browser) they have to pass from multiple caches like PHP's, Apache's, the occasional proxies and finally the browser's own cache. So you cannot get dependaple results measuring times or responses from your browser. Try the methods above. And a final tip... When Rasmus speaks, you don't question him:-) Period.

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
Hi André, It sounds interesting. But since I am pretty new to PHP, I have some questions, naive maybe, about what you wrote. #!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 \n What does the Send.php look like? I do not have idea how a shell interprets an php script and what the parameter 12 means here. If you do not mind, could you please also let me look at your Send.php? Thank you very much. I did something like that for a newsletter sending script. Basiclly, I had two scripts: a) AddEdit.php that would list the newsletter's items and allow it to send b) Send.php that was a script I ran on the background When pressed Send on AddEdit, it would do something like $tempName = tempnam( '/tmp', 'newsletter' ); $fp = fopen( $tempName, 'w+' ); fputs( $fp, #!/bin/sh\n/path/to/script/Send.php 12 \n ); fclose( $fp ); chmod( $tempName, 0755 ); system( $tempName . ' ' ); That way, it would launch the second script into the background, checking if the script altered the newsletter's state for Sent everytime a user saw the newsletter's details.

Re: [PHP] Question about apache-php concurrent process control
As I know, apache-php works this way. When the web server gets an http request with file name extension .php, it will start the php interpreter to process the php file. Now I have a php program does something like this: when it is executing with one parameter p1, the program code goes to contact a database, gets back huge amount of data, writes it to file system. This will take pretty long time to finish. In the mean time, the same php code will be invoked by apache with another request, passing different parameter p2, indicates the code need to run to check the availability and read partial of the data which has already writen to the file system just now. The program location need to be in the same URL, but with only different parameter passing to it. for example: http://baseURL/a.php?v=p1 http://baseURL/a.php?v=p2 I want these 2 process can be run concurrently, but through a small test, I found out that they just sequentially execute one after the other. http://baseURL/a.php http://baseURL/b.php howevery can run concurrently well, it means that apache can invoke multiple php interpreter processes. But I do not know how to make php interpreter to do the same thing. Or 2 php interpreter processes process one php program sepreately without interfer with each other.

This e-mail has been received by the Revenue Internet e-mail service.

Hi List,
my research hasn't turned anything useful up.
Probably 'cause I don't have enough info.
I've been playing around with the ereg function.
What I was wondering is what is the ^ for like
in the below example?
ereg('[^[:space:]a-zA-Z0-9_.-]{1,}', $name)
thx

WRONG. He specifically said please only reply if you know how. Obviously
you do not.
To do an HTTP/1.1 *301 Permanent Redirect* not a *302 Found* Redirect as
you described, that code would need to be altered to:
$article = $_REQUEST['i'];
// some validation of $article if necessary
$url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i);
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: ' . $url);

I don't think the server itself is coded in php - and regardless of the
technology used to deliver a site,
php is not required to output a HTTP header - although it does make it easy :-)
In your case you might want to do something like:
$article = $_REQUEST['i'];
// some validation of $article if necessary
$url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i);
header('Location: ' . $url);
WRONG. He specifically said please only reply if you know how. Obviously
you do not.
and you can't ber bothered to read properly either, you reuse the other guys'
code
but you fail to see it has blatant typos in it - given your resounding WRONG
I figure
the least you could do it post something that isn't.
besides if you ask me, saying things like please only reply if you know how
is:
a, pretty implicit when asking a question.
b, shortsighted
c, a little rude
d, the OP has the title 'Dr.' - now I have friends who are doctors in various
fields,
and I expect everyone of them to be able to use google, ... hint hint.
thankfully Jasper 'knows how'
To do an HTTP/1.1 *301 Permanent Redirect* not a *302 Found* Redirect as

$article = $_REQUEST['i'];
// some validation of $article if necessary
$url = sprintf('/services.php/%s'. $i);
^ typo! (also where is $i coming from?)
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
also consider that using 'Status' may be better or possibly both to cover
you bases, e.g.:
?php
header(HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently);
header(Status: 301 Moved Permanently);
?
header('Location: ' . $url);

Waste of time. Go read the HTTP spec. Apologies for missing the typos, I
was rather in a hurry. The point is, it wasn't a 301 redirect.

It's not really a waste of time. Some apache/php configurations accept
only the first form, some only the second.

that would be the first time in history a web related spec actually worked
as stated ON EVERY BROWSER/SERVER.
notice the use of the words 'may be' and 'possibly', also you might wish to note
it wasn't a spec-driven comment but a 'get-it-working'-driven comment - fact is
there are people who have experienced problems with outputting of just the
'HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently' (and it not doing what they want)
was rather in a hurry. The point is, it wasn't a 301 redirect
very pointy indeed.

Re: [PHP] Question about HTTP 301 permanent redirects
Hi Actually you can get away with this: header(Location: $url,301); This will let php generate the proper headers Also, and I stress this point (again and again), the http specification clearly states that location headers need to have a *fully qualified url* not a site-specific one. Failure to do so puts the proper working of your site in the hands of the end user's browser who may very well fail to redirect because he doesn't find http://yourpage.php. (some browser do handle this correctly, but that's besides the point). HTH Andy -- Registered Linux User Number 379093 -- --BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GAT/O/E$ d-(---)+ s:(+): a--(-)?

Example 7-6. Static variables with recursive functions
?php

{
static $count = 0;
$count++;
echo $count;
if ($count 10) {
Test ();
}
$count--;

You defined the function, but never called it.
Add a line that does: Test(); at the end.

Re: [PHP] question about system function call
On Thu, June 16, 2005 2:43 pm, Tom Cruickshank said: I'm trying to do the following in php. system(/usr/bin/smbutil -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to be able to view some shares folders on a server. Unfortunately, if I use this command in console, I get prompted for a password. Is there a way in php to wait for a password and enter it automatically? Please let me know. Thanks! smbutil may or may not accept a password as an argument. Something like: smbutil --password=SECRET -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED] If not, you MIGHT be able to do: system(echo SECRET\n | /usr/bin/smbutil -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED]); You may need to dink around with the \n part to get it into the shell rather than in the PHP string... system(echo -e \SECRET\\n\ | /usr/bin/smbutil -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED]); You should use exec instead during experimentation at least, so you can get error messages... Actually, exec is probably better all around, unless you really need passthru for performance reasons... smbutil *might* require a TTY (a REAL logged in person) the way some programs do. If its documenation says so, I think you're out of luck on the password bit. There might be other options, like SSH key-pair authentication or Kereberos or, for all I know, somebody wrote a PHP Samba Module while I wasn't looking... I'd probably never use it, so wouldn't have noticed. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Seems to be correct. Here is what I think:
All the non-blobs are working fine; it is the blobs that are turning up
as text instead of data. Can you not tell the PHP scripts the
following:
if a blob then present the data as binary
else
present the text
endif
?
I think you cannot judge the content of the blob. for text use the
data type text instead of blob
Can you please clarify?

Today I did generate a script, but I am lacking the
fact that I cannot tell the script not to treat the blob differetly:

Hi,
This:

$r = {$_GET['r']}; //Set the variable $r to mean the category number
for starters WTF is the preceding statement for???
$r is already set if it exists by the expression in the if statement...
($r = intval($_GET['r'])
$fields = '*';
$sort = ORDER BY cv.sort;
} else {
this else block will fire if $r is invalid or not set.
that means this is where you should write some code that
either redirects to the 'list' page or outputs a list somehow.
$where = '';
$fields =
'cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,
jobcat.category';
$sort = ORDER BY cv.sort;
}
//Make the sql based on the joining of the table and intersection table
$sql =
SELECT
cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat
.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND

Works whenever there is an ?r= specified. When there is no r specified
it chokes on
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id;
because there's no value to $r.
it also opens me up to allowing anyone to state *anything* after the ?.
So can I make an else statement which will say that if there's no r= or
a wrong r= or even no ? at all then it should print a menu to $r's
which actually exist in the database? How?
you already have one - its just that your abusing it to set some completely
pointless
vars that containing bits of SQL.

Question:
Has anybody else noticed session-only cookies not disappearing when using

Using IE6 I can:
setcookie('sesvar', 'this session only', 0, ,
www.mypersonaldomain.net);
This can be read and disappears after the browser has been closed.
Doing the same with Firefox 0.8 the cookie can be read, but also can be
read
when the browser has been closed and a new one opened. It can also be read
after logging out, closing the browser and reopening a new browser.
Perhaps they are duplicating the old IE bug where having a time, but not a
valid path, would make the time element ignored.
Change your code to this:
setcookie('sesvar', 'this session only', 0, /,
www.mypersonaldomain.net);
Older IE versions let you have time *AND* path, or neither, but not just
time.

Re: [PHP] Question about php.ini
Stephen Wong wrote: I'm very new to php. Here are some basic info about my server that I am running: Mac OS X 10.3.7 PHP 4.3.10 MySQL 4.0.18 Apache 1.3.33 What I want to do is host a forum on my web page. I can't seem to get it set up, and I notice that I do not have a php.ini file in my /etc directory (This is the Configuration File Path). However, I do have a php.ini.default in the same directory. You don't HAVE to have a php.ini for PHP to run. PHP will simply use its default values if you have no php.ini file for it to load. And your forum software should not require it, in my opinion, but I suppose it's theoretically possible that it does. More likely, it requires specific settings to work, which is also bad. I don't *WANT* to change my php.ini on my whole site for their software to work. Often you can get around this by using an .htaccess file (just create one) in the forum directory to set whatever they need. I seem to have two options: 1.) rename the php.ini.default to plain php.ini and see if that resolves it. However, I'm not sure what kind of tests can I perform to see that it is working properly? http://php.net/phpinfo will tell you which php.ini file is loaded (or if none is loaded) and will tell you everything that is being affected by that file. If you copy php.ini.default to php.ini, it should be EXACTLY the same as it is now -- the .default settings match what PHP does if no file is there. But, of course, after you copy the file there, you can change it, and then it will make a difference. 2.) or I can follow this tutorial at: http://www.dmcinsights.com/phpmysql/phpini.php; which teaches me how to make my own php.ini file. It's probably better to stick with the php.ini file that came with your VERSION of PHP.

How does one over come the issue of unix time not going beyond a certain date?
Overcome the issue in what way? A 32bit integer is what it is.
ie, when I do echo strtotime(2099-10-08); it outputs -1
So don't use strtotime(). You're never going to fit an integer with
more than 32bits into a memory space of 32bits or less without losing
bits. The PHP manual seems pretty clear in what to do as far as
checking for failure:
$str = 'Not Good';
if (($timestamp = strtotime($str)) === -1) {
echo The string ($str) is bogus;
} else {
echo $str == . date('l dS of F Y h:i:s A', $timestamp);
}
This has to do with the limitations of unix time, so how does one get around
it?
If it's stored in a db, you can use the date/time fields which usually
provide more storage space than 32bits. MySQL has timestamp for
example.

Re: [PHP] Question
I assume by edit you mean change the value to something completely new.
If you are having the user input the new value you 1) must make sure
it is valid input and 2)move it into the array value (maybe set the
array as a session variable so it crosses over to the next page instead
of being re initialized).
Maybe something like:
if(isset($_POST['submit']){
// make sure the input is valid first
$_SESSION['config']['email'] = $_POST['email'];
$_SESSION['config']['meta_author'] = $_POST['author'];
}
if (!isset($_SESSION['config'])){
$_SESSION['config']= array(
'email' = 'E-mail',
'meta_author' = 'Author')
}
input type = hidden name=email type=text
value=?php print $config[email];?
input type = hidden name=author type=text
value=?php print $config[meta_author]; ?

Nowhere! Therefore the receiving script cannot identify the value as x.

Did you modify it?
Cuz, like, I don't think this one is very good...

Check your function carefully. Where are you using the $name of the value?
Nowhere! Therefore the receiving script cannot identify the value as x.
Try: fputs($fp, $name=$value\n);

How can I get this value? How can I equalize this value into variable ? It's a query, just like any other query. So you're going to send it to ODBC the same as you send any other query. I don't know the ODBC syntax, but it's going to be something like: $query = select count(id) as quantity from danhmucdia; $id_count_set = odbc_query($query) or trigger_error(odbc_error() . $query, E_USER_ERROR); $id_count = odbc_result($id_count_set, 0, 0); You could also use odbc_fetch_row or odbc_fetch_array. The preceding lines all assume ODBC works the same as MySQL, which may or may not be true to varying degrees of truth. http://php.net/odbc -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Question in posting form-data
Yes. I did modify the original since I need to send data to a program which
takes only form-data.
content-disposition: came from RFC 2388. I don't think the program can take
application/x-www-form-urlencoded content. Further help needed. Thanks.

You also need to URLEncode the $value, either before you pass it in, or
inside the function itself.
Where did you get this PostToHost function?...
Did you modify it?
Cuz, like, I don't think this one is very good...
Where did that content-disposition: come from?
And virtually every FORM on the web has more than one input, so you're
going to need to handle that.
Google for PostToHost Rasmus Lerdorf to find the original and compare
it with yours.

I think you are missing the point Jason was trying
to make, which is the
difference between '$Ind' and $Ind. If you look
again, you will see that
those are handled differently.
If you read the post Jason suggested I print out using
both single and double quotes.
Yes, I really do suggest that you re-read what was said in this thread.
Regardless that has very little to do with my
question.
I believe that in the code you posted previously you was using '$Ind' in
strcmp(), in which case it is extremely relevant, that is why I brought it
up.
Here is just another variation of my multiple select
list.
option value=?php echo
$rsinds-Fields('CareerIDs')??php if
($rsinds-Fields('CareerIDs')== 5) {echo SELECTED;}
??php echo
$rsinds-Fields('CareerCategories')?/option
Here I was just testing with a specific value.
the line == 5 will set the value SELECTED correctly.
If I put in 5, 6, or '5,','6', etc, I get an error.
However, I don't believe that line works for multiple
values. What works is still a mystery to me.
For heaven's sake, do you even know what the HTML *should* look like? Did you
construct an example to look at? If you're unable to construct your own
example just look at someone else's, go find a site that has multi-select
listboxes with pre-selected values and examine the HTML source.
Once you know what the HTML should look like it would be straightforward to
recreate it using PHP.
