Re: [PHP] Quick question regarding getcwd() and directory location.
How are you browsing to it from within PHP? Depending on how you are doing it, the way to get the cwd is different Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk ---BeginMessage--- I'll throw out an example here. I have a directory structure of: /var/www/example/ And in that i have a file: index.php That file echo's getcwd() and returns: /var/www/example/ Now i tell Apache or Lighty that if a directory does not have an index.php file, that it should use /example/index.php (for example via DirectoryIndex of Apache) Then i make a new directory: /var/www/test/ And browse to it and it echo's /var/www/example/ since its running that file via DirectoryIndex This is true for all directories i make.

If you're sure that's the format of the date, this will do it...
list($day, $month, $year) = explode('/', $thedate);

[PHP] Quick question on data formatting
Hi all: Since I'm relatively new to PHP, I'm not familiar with all of the shortcuts and efficient ways one could write a routine that handles converting data from one format into another, so I thought I'd ask here for recommendations on how to solve one particular issue I've got. I'm viewing this as a learning experience for me. I've got some text fields coming in that need to be added to a table as numeric fields. In particular, I've got to process dollar amounts that appear with dollar signs and commas into their strictly numeric forms. For example: $123,456.78 becomes 123456.78 $24,680 becomes 24680 1234B becomes 1234 (That last example is an actual example of something I saw in the data file; I can only assume that the user wanted 1234, as that's the closest value I can assume from what was typed in.) What is the fastest, most efficient way to perform these conversions? I'm coming at PHP from old school experience where I'd normally read through the text character by character and return a value built from only the characters I have declared as acceptable (i.e., 0-9 and . and possibly a -), but I've got to believe that there's some technique -- or possibly a deeply buried function -- available to me now that would be faster and easier to implement. Any help you can provide will, as always, be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jon

[PHP] Quick question, a little 0T i guess... BASIC_AUTH or forms
Hey all! Quick question, one of our sites already uses BASIC_AUTH to take the username and pass from clients, we were thinking of instead doing it via a login form (so we can also add a CAPTCHA later...if needed) what I would like to know is, by using a login form instead of a BASIC_AUTH are we comprimising security in any way (for example if someone is using a sniffer) or does BASIC_AUTH have some kind of extra inbuilt security that forms dont have that I am not aware of?

If you only want to replace the line including url(s) by a message, a
simple regular expression is enough.
?php
$melding = This is a spam.\n
. This is a a href=\http://www.example.com/\;example/a line.\n
. Another line.\n
. a href=\http://www.e.com/ads/show?n=123\;123/a (456)\n
. End Line.\n;
$melding = preg_replace(/.*?a href=\http:\/\/.+/i, This line is
temporarily cut-off due to spam-suspicion., $melding);
echo $melding;
?
The script above will output:
This is a spam.
This line is temporarily cut-off due to spam-suspicion.
Another line.
This line is temporarily cut-off due to spam-suspicion.
End Line.
If you use this code, be sure to use lt; in stead of and gt; in stead
of or else the spam messages won't be shown.
Otherwise, if you want the entire message changed, it's quicker to do:
if (preg_match('/(a href=\http:\/\/[^^]+)/i', $melding)) {
$melding = 'This message is temporarily cut-off due to spam-suspicion.';
}
Just an idea...

PHP is case-sensitive. UppERCase is NOT the same as uppercase. HTML is
not case sensitive only because browsers are forgiving.
PHP variables are case-sensitive.
PHP FUNCTIONS are not.
You're on your own figuring out if class names/methods are/aren't
case-sensitive this week. :-v
1. classname are case-insensitive (at least in all the builds I have running)
but since 5.0.1 (IIRC) the engine honors your case when using get_class(),
in the past the class name was always returned lowercase. so:
php -r 'class Test {} $t = new Test; if ($t instanceof test) { echo yeah!\n; } echo
get_class($t),\n;'
will echo:
yeah!
Test
2. methodnames are the same as functionname with regard to case-sensitivity
3. constants (and class constants) are case sensitive.

You could answer your own question with a few seconds of effort. Typically, such extreme laziness is not rewarded here. Consider yourself lucky this time. :-) If you had instead asked whether you should use $_POST[sender_email] or $_POST['sender_email'], at least we could give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you actually tried them both.

[PHP] Quick Question re: Input
Hi! This is what I want to do: When the user presses the submit button, run a function along the lines of: form method=post name=form1 action=?php echo addrecord(); ? The addrecord function basically runs an SQL insert. This seems as though it should be uncomplicated. All the code that I look at has the page calling itself again and running code that wasn't used the first time based on some switch. Does anyone know if there is some other kind of solution? This seems so messy to me. I would prefer to keep the function in the page. I am learning php, so please be kind! Thanks for any and all advice!

Unfortunately you cannot do it like this, you either have to reload the
page or send the processing to another namespace. But you can do
different buttons...
form method=post name=form1 action=processStuff.php
input type=submit name=action value=Add Record
input type=submit name=action value=Delete Record
In processStuff.php
?php
switch ($_POST['action']){
case Add Record:
...do stuff...
..redirect back to original page...
break;
case Delete Record:
...do stuff...
..redirect back to original page...
break;
}

You should look at E-xact (http://www.e-xact.com). They have a solution they call tagged transactions that actually replaces the credit card numbers with tags that are only meaningful in the context of your merchant account. That way, you can let your customers make repeat purchases without actually having to store CC numbers on your site.

Right - but the problem is, the form is submitting to another site, so i don't have a way to store the variables. I could put them in session variables, but I would have to create another script and then forward the form submission to the outside side. This isn't working because the outside site requires the variables to be submitted via a form, or POST i guess.

[PHP] Quick Question about Template Parsers
In general, how do most template parsers work? do they read the file into a variable and do something to the effect of preg_replace() to element that is found? and if so, could you replace the step of reading the file into a variable with getting the template data out of a database? WARNING... more questions to come... Jim
Re: [PHP] Quick Question about Template Parsers
Sure, you could do it any way you want. One way or another you need to
get it into a variable, so how you get the template there doesn't really
have any affect on your replace function.
I'm using the file based template so it's easy for users to modify. I
read the template file into the output buffer, then store the buffer
into a variable and clear the buffer:
ob_start();
include(templateFile.tpl);
$tpl_content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
The template is now stored in the $tpl_content variable. You could just
as easily pull the template from a database. For the template file I
place data tags in it that I do a search and replace on. Some common
tags I use:
{::PageTitle::}, {::MainData::},{::NavBar::}
You should try to use str_replace instead of ereg_replace since it's
faster. Both support arrays for the search and replace part, so you can
use one line of code to do 30, 40 or whatever replaces. I create an
array of my data tags and another array of the matching data, then do:
str_replace($tagArray,$dataArray,$formTemplate);
I can then provide a user who knows HTML a list of data tags (the
contract) that they can place in a template anyway they want. The whole
idea is to separate your data from your code from you presentation.
Hope that helps.

I can never remember the order :)

I think i know what the probelm is.
.if( ($fp = fopen( '/test/canberra.txt', 'w+' )) !== false )
should be

But, where do i put the file name and directory to write?

Hi everyone.
I asked this a week or so ago but i am unsure if it got to the
list,
so
here
we go again.
I am trying to get a remote file to be copied onto my own web
server,
I
have
looked at fopen() and fread() and fwrite() and get the general
idea of
each,
but im wondering how to join the commandes to get the file i want
from
the
remote ftp server, copied and written onto my own server.
Something like the following might work (not tested AT ALL):
$rContents = implode( \n, file(
'ftp://www.foo.bar/me/my/data.txt' ) );
if( ($fp = fopen( '/tmp/myFile.txt', 'w+' )) !==
Re: [PHP] Quick question.

Dunno why either, the directory is not protected, can you help me with
that
one?
What are the permissions and ownerships? Do these ownerships and
permissions match up with the webserver versus your own ownership?
Cheers,

No i mean switch to the directory in which you have th file with the code and type 'ls -al' Then look at the permissions and ownerships. Don't forget the web server runs with different permissions thatn you do at home. Cheers, Rob.

RE: [PHP] Quick question.
I am the webmaster of the site, i pay for the server space, is that what you mean? First up Simon, I deleted over a hundred lines of no longer relevant content from your message including things like signatures. You should probably trim messages down when you reply to them... Next up, when you say you are the webmaster, what does that mean? What sort of access do you have to the server? Can you connect to the server using ssh? Or do you only have access to uploading files using ftp? If the former, you can check permissions (which is almost certainly where your problem is) and act from the information you find. If you don't have ssh-style access then you'll likely be stuck with work-arounds to make things like this do what you want. Do you understand the concept of users, groups and permissions? This is a *nix thing that is not as common on Windows platforms but is of critical importance when you start looking at issues like file creation, particiularly in automated scripts, on a *nix box. If you understand them then I won't bother going further, if you don't then this is probably where your starting point needs to be so that you understand why the problem is occuring and will be able to deal with it in future situations that you'll almost certainly run into. Oh, and if you have ssh-style access then the ftp thing you're trying to do in php should really be done in other ways - the BoM web servers are loaded enough without receiving a hit every time someone loads your page.
