[PHP] Newbie form question
Hello.
I have an application that generete HTML5 form in PHP.
The form is written in a while loop and therefore the form field has exact
same name for every row in the loop.
And that is the problem. Because when my PHP document shall handle
submitted data it only take the very last row in the while loop and show
the result of it.
if(isset($_POST['update_explosive'])){
$item_serial_number = $_POST['item_serial_number'];
$update_item_in_store = $_POST['update_item_in_store'];
if($item_serial_number === ETX1.22X1000){
echo h1$update_item_in_store/h1;
}
if($item_serial_number === ETX1.17X460){
echo h1$update_item_in_store/h1;
}
}
I think the solution will be to create different and unike fieldname
dymamic. For example I tried to write input type=text name=?php echo
$item_serial_number; ? value=?php echo $item_serial_number; ? in
the HTML5/PHP form.
But the problem is that periode . not is allowed as $variable_name.
I then try to write it this way:
if(isset($_POST['update_explosive'])){
$item_serial_number = $_POST['ETX1.22X1000'];
$update_item_in_store = $_POST['update_item_in_store'];
if($item_serial_number === ETX1.22X1000){
echo h1$update_item_in_store/h1;
}
if($item_serial_number === ETX1.17X460){
echo h1$update_item_in_store/h1;
}
}
But this last part did not make any sense to me. I recive no output when
tried that one.
One problem is that I have between 2 and 25 items with different serial
number. Sometimes only 5 of this shall be updated and other times all 25
items. I like to do this through one simple form and not for one time for
every single item. (I know how to do when select one by one and update
them, but that is a long and hard way for people using my application. A
better solution is to just use one form and view all items there. Then just
write the amount of item in input type=number
name=update_item_in_store size=6 field.)
If you have time to help me *understand* this newbie question by explain or
give me an example or post a link to a tutorial that can help me though, I
am very thankful.

Hi all,
newbie PDO question...
I think (hard to tell - buried in a wrapper class) I am doing a select
query using - PDO::FETCH_ASSOC like...
wrapper -- return $pdostmt-fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

so my query is like...
$results = $db-select(mytable, id = 201); //just 1 exact record)
then I can loop like..
foreach ($results as $result) {
?
tr
td?php echo $result[First]; ?/td
td?php echo $result[Last]; ?/td
td?php echo $result[id]; ?/td
/tr
This all works fine.
--- But since I only have 1 exact record - I don't need to LOOP anything
- so...
Q: How do I display the columns without a loop
these fail - so what will work
echo $results[First];
echo $results[First][0]; ???
echo $results[First][1]; ???
PDO::fetchAll returns its data as an array, even if only one record is
returned. In this case,
echo $results[0][First];
echo $results[0][Last];
echo $results[0][id];
will do what you want.

Try to avoid your code assuming that you will just get one record back
(unless you use Limit 1)
Thanks Stephen,
Nice code!
you mentioned ... - to avoid your code assuming that you will just get one
record back
But what about the case where you are deliberately just showing one record as
in FIND ONE PERSON like where ID = 101 ?
do you still need to loop through when you just selected/displayed 1 ITEM?
Q: How do I display the columns without a loop in this 1 record case...?
these fail - so what will work?
echo $results[First];
echo $results[First][0]; ???

While works better than foreach for getting the result rows from PDO

Re: [PHP] newbie PDO query display question
When you know there is only one row to be returned you can do this:
$photo_category_list = ;
$SQL = SELECT category_id, category_name FROM gallery_category ORDER by
category_order;
try {
$stmt = $dbh-prepare($SQL);
$stmt-execute();
list( $id, $name) = $stmt-fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM));
}
}
catch (PDOException $e){
echo 'Error getting category name. ' . $e-getMessage();
}
echo $id;
echo $name;
And you could also do
list( $result[id], $result[name]) = $stmt-fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM));

Re: [PHP] Newbie Question - Parse XML with PHP...
I have an app that gets passed in xml and use this code to read that data in
// We use php://input to get the raw $_POST results.
$xml_post = file_get_contents('php://input');
Maybe it will help

I assume It returns as a string from page. Then use

$xml_post is string. I think now you know what to do.

Hi tamouse, with my untrained eye - it appears that this is what is 'sending out' $data = sendXMLviaCurl($xmlRequest,$gatewayURL); This is the sending and receiving -- the function uses curl to send your xml request and returns the response from that. and this might be what is 'responding back' on the same page $gwResponse = @new SimpleXMLElement((string)$data); $data contains the response, this is how you are processing it. Skipping the long and monolithic code, what I will suggest is that you break things up into modules, functions and procrdures, and write unit tests that will check each piece seperately. After you've verified that each step is working, then you can start to integrate the pieces, following the stricture of keeping code (logic), data, and presentation seperate. It is much easier to deal with debugging when your code is simple and does only one thing. Break out the part you are asking here about, the API call. Build up a viable test request that will get you a known response and make sure you are getting what you expect. My suspicion is that the response here isnot what you expect.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Question - Parse XML with PHP...
A webpage is a file, that (usually) a browser downloads and parses.
You'll do exactly the same :-) I don't know exactly, but you can try to
pass the URL directly to simplexml_load_file(). If this doesn't work,
download the content (for example with file_get_contents()) and pass it to
simplexml_load_string(). There are obviously many other approaches, but you
should now have an idea :-)
Or you use a specialized library like Guzzle.

[PHP] Newbie question: replacing truetype fonts with UTF8 encoded Unicode characters
Greetings I have some HTML text using truetype fonts which i have to convert to UTF8 encoded unicode characters. I am just trying to replace the truetype font characters. The problem is that somehow the HTML tags also get converted to UTF8 :-( I do a lot of str_replace such as the following: $body = str_replace(þ, க்ஷ, $body); $body = str_replace(þ£, க்ஷா, $body); $body = str_replace(¬þ, க்ஷை, $body); $body = str_replace(V, க்ஷி, $body); $body = str_replace(r, க்ஷீ, $body); $body = str_replace(þ§, க்ஷு, $body); $body = str_replace(þ¨, க்ஷூ, $body); I guess i am missing something as silly as encoding the characters into certain type of strings, do the conversion and then convert to back to UTF8 How best to do this? Sorry if this is a very basic question. Thanks a lot in advance Regards Venkatesh
[PHP] Newbie security database connection question
Hello, NEWBIE: I have a security question: When working with PHP and MySQL, it seems that a one method is to create a connection.php page to the database that will store the connection parameters such as username, password and URL ip in clear text and include this on various pages. Since hackers seem to be getting better and better every day: - Is this common practice to store this security data in the clear on the PHP webpage? - Wouldn't it be possible for a hacker to SNIFF around and pick up this sensitive clear text security data? - Is there some better, more secure way to communicate from the website to the MySQL data source that is somehow sending encrypted information rather than clear text back and forth?

Thanks in advance for your help. You can encrypt the access credentails using some public key encryption technique like RSA and then decode it inside php before connecting to db... But still you have to store the private key in plain text somewere... OR may be you can use 'hard to guess substitution ciphers' [i dunno if tht exists] or create an encryption logic of your own and then use it to encrypt the dataabse uname and pass.

Thanks in advance for your help. If your web server and MySQL server are running on the same host, make sure your db user only has access via localhost. If your web server running php is on a different host from your MySQL server, set the host access for that db user to only allow access from the web server host. If you are running MySQL 5, you can secure the connection using SSL to ensure that a sniffer will have a much more difficult time stealing your credentials. Another way is to set up an SSH tunnel. A couple other things: * generally, it is considered a good practice to store access credentials used by a php application *outside* the web server's visibility. * include the php script in whatever other main scripts your application has, and make it readable only to the web server user/group. * if anything else, make sure the file has the extension .php and the credentials are inside the php code space so it can't be downloaded directly by a web user. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Newbie question. What is the best structure of a php-app?
Hi, Surely there's a wiki/doc somewhere :) But for the start: 1) plan what exactly you want to accomplish ( functionality ) 2) complexity - if simple, just throw it in one php ( like index.php ) - if more complex, you can separate the pages and/or use classes 3) based on 2), plan the structure ( I'm using mostly one entry point - index.php - with classes, templates, files included, since I like things separated ) Some thing you should not forget: - whole webapp thing is event based ( client will do something - press a link - and the server will react ) - the connection is not maintained all the time - PHP is server side (harder to debug), you cannot do anything on client side ( just push what to display ) ( JS is client side ) - you can start the session whenever you want ( it's nearly the first line of my app ), but you should control the access with variables, like if ( $_SESSION['uid'] ) or if ( $_SESSION['loggedin'] ) - most webservers interprets things between ?php ? even if the file name ends with .htm or .html - for JS and connection related things FireBug for FireFox is a good idea ( you can track, what's submitted, etc ) What I'm liking: - one entry point ( index.php ) - sub-pages, are separate php/template pairs BUT are included from index.php ( after access verification, etc ) - nearly all the functions are put in separate classes ( like user.class.php for user related things - login,logout, etc ) - using a template engine is not a very bad idea ( like Smarty ), you can separate the real code from html, which make debugging easier - at least for me :) BTW, take a look on some free stuff.

Is it possible to run the whole application from the start on? index.html is no php so xdebug won't process it and therefore the IDEs may start index.html but can't show the stage where the page is just waiting e.g. for a click on login and later branch for the other options. Even if I write an index.php that shows the menue eventually the script just dumps the html that'll wait for the following clicks. Those following steps are far more likely in need to be debugged. Is it neccessary to debug those subpages separately even though they need prior steps like login.php that store some infos in a session or cookie that later scripts need to rely on? Can I somehow watch what is going on from the index.html on? Until now I just found documentation that explains the php language. Thats good too but I'd need to get an idea about the web-app-thinking that consist of just pages where the designer has to hope that the user stays within the applicationflow instead of clicking unexpectedly on the back-button or just jumping off to some other site if he likes to. In contrast to this desktop-apps seem to be less demanding because I know where a user can navigate from a certain stage within the app and I could step from program start to stop with the debugger if I feel the need to. Is there a tutorial that explains how to build consistent web-apps beyond the details of php language? regards... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] newbie date time question
I'm trying to convert a date and time string using strtotime()
The date and time strings are the first entry in each line in a csv file
in the form:
22/06/2011 9:47:20 PM, data1, data2,...
I've been trying to use the following approach, without success:
function read_data($filename)
{
$f = fopen($filename, 'r');
while ($d = fgetcsv($f)) {
$format = 'd/m/Y h:i:s';
$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, $d[0]);
$data[] = array(strtotime($dt), $d[1]); //convert date/time
}
fclose($f);
return $data;
}
Obviously I'm not getting the $format line right, as the resulting $dt
values are empty. (I have previously used this reading process
successfully with better behaved date and time strings).
Advice appreciated.

$dt is an object as the error says, so you cant echo it, becouse its not a string (it can be with __toString magic method, or use print_r/var_dump to output your object).

OK, looks like I have fixed problem, using:

$dt = date_create_from_format($format, $d[0]);
$dt2 = date('r', $dt-getTimestamp());

Not elegant but it gives me the date/time value.

Long answer : unless you are providing some sort of mechanism to hold the current state of PHP, eject the required JS code to get a value from the client and return it to the server which then recreates the working environment and carries on execution (try debugging THAT), then almost certainly. Under normal circumstances, the PHP code is completely finished running before anything gets to the client. There is no mechanism for allowing _this_ script to get a response to a JS call whilst running. It is like the game of pass the parcel. Your job (as in the PHP script) is to unwrap 1 layer of paper and pass it on. That's it. PHP runs and builds the appropriate output in response to the request that the server directed to the PHP handler. Once the output has been passed to the server, the PHP script is finished. Whilst building the output, PHP cannot talk to the client. At the most fundamental level, the client (the browser) is not listening for anyone other than a response to the request it made to the server. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[/snip] So dynamically generated pages by PHP shouldn't spit out any JS of any type? That's not what he said. PHP can more than adequately output Javascript (or any other kind of output you can think of really, such as XML, PDF, images, etc), it's just generally most people use it to output HTML. Quite often it's easiest when passing data from PHP to Javascript to do it by outputting Javascript code directly, but it does help to separate PHP from the client-side. So rather than think of embedding PHP in an HTML file, it's really the other way around, because as soon as you take an HTML file and include PHP, the whole thing is parsed by php the program on the server, which then outputs HTML to Apache, rather than Apache just grabbing the plain HTML and sending it to the client. Because web servers (typically) don't parse Javascript code, PHP knows nothing about the functions you've declared in it, even if PHP was responsible for outputting the Javascript code itself, in much the same way that you wouldn't expect PHP to output CSS and know whether your browser has correcly applied the styles or not. Everything that happens on the client-side is outside of PHP and the server. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

I agree with Ash to simply use .php as the file's suffix. While you
could use .html, but it's usually hard for newbees to understand
what's happening.
So, create a file containing:
?php echo('Hello World'); ?
and save it as myfile.php
Then open your browser and put the url of the file in the address bar
and you should see Hello World.
If you don't, then post again.

I use GoLive 9 without all the WYSIWYG nonsense -- DW can be used in the same fashion, but it's still bloatware. I teach using NetBeans, because it generally sucks less than Eclipse. Eclipse is simply too complicated and NetBeans tries to be less, but it's still too much. I really don't understand why someone can't make a simple good editor (php, css, javascript, html) with a file management system that shows both client and server side files. I always feel I am programming with one eye closed when using NetBeans.

I used Eclipse on Windows and only a short while on Ubuntu, and I've used NetBeans exclusively on Ubuntu. I actually switched to using the beta and now dev builds of NetBeans because of the issues I mentioned. To this day when I'm editing PHP files, the disk is hit with every keystroke. This doesn't happen for any other file type such as Java. There's no good reason that I can think of for that, and it's quite annoying. That said, I only use IDE's when I want to see what's new in the world, or to see if I could speed up my own development processes at all. There are so many helpful additions to modern IDEs that I miss when I drop into basic editors. The key is integration. When I'm editing a file, the IDE shows me which lines have been modified, added, and removed. I can hover over the indicator to see the original text or revert the change. You can get this information outside the editor, but I find it speeds up my work to have it in one place. Of course, I often find myself using grep instead of the IDE's find in files feature. ;) Old habits die hard. I will admit that I never got to be much of an emacs or vi power user, and I'd bet they have a lot of the IDE capabilities I have grown to love. I also have poor vision requiring larger fonts for the main text area, and most IDEs (GUIs really) provide more tools for me to mitigate the problem than a fixed terminal. David

Please let us know if you end up using it in your class as I'm sure others will enjoy reading your findings. I spent about 10 minutes looking over the feature set of Komodo which was recommended by Steve Staples in this thread, and it also looks quite impressive. it's more expensive for the IDE (the stand-alone editor is free) which does remote file-syncing ($295), but you might be able to swing an educational discount with them.

Kate is good for basic editing, but I use NetBeans for my main development, as I like the code hinting it gives you for your own class and function definitions. Incidentally, you can get Kate working on Windows if you install KDE on it, which I do at work. It gives me a setup similar to what I'm most used to at home with my Linux box. I'd avoid DreamWeaver whatever you do. Unless it's been severely improved recently, it's not a serious developers tool, more of an expensive hobbyists.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Question
everyone I know who uses dreamweaver does so because the people that are supervising the project want to use dreamweaver, otherwise I haven't found anyone who actually liked using it. So I don't know if that actually means anything but that's the way it is. I guess it would be important to remember that as long as you clearly understand what you are doing it hardly matters whether you use notepad or something much more sophisticated, which also completes a bunch of tasks for you.

Vim's not for everyone. But here's the thing-- once you get it dialed in, your fingers never have to leave the main keys. Editing is way faster. And there are just a million key combinations to do things, only a fraction of which you will use. And those modes will drive you crazy for a while. I still get bitten by them, and I think every Vim user does. But again, it's way faster. Also, there's probably not a *nix server in the world which doesn't have Vi, Vim or the like installed. They may not have nano and they may not have emacs, but they will have Vi* installed. So your experience with Vim on the desktop translates into being able to operate on any *nix server. And there are Vim flavors for Windows as well, if you happen to be unfortunate enough to be running on an IIS machine. Paul -- Paul M.

I tend to disagree with Ashley on this topic. For many websites, I'll start out making all pages .php, even if they don't require PHP at the moment. That's for a couple reasons. 1) A few years back, there was certainly a significant performance advantage to keeping essentially static pages html. However, in my current benchmarking (using both siege and ab on my Ubuntu servers using apache with mod_php), if I use a cache such as APC and a well-configured apache server, PHP tends to perform just as well (or sometimes even better) than the html version. Rasmus has demonstrated similar performance results: http://talks.php.net/show/froscon08/24 2) I don't want to have to change urls site-wide and set up redirects from the old url whenever a page requires adding dynamic capabilities. By making all pages PHP right from the beginning, adding dynamic capabilities is a snap as I just add the functionality.

That's for a couple reasons. 1) A few years back, there was certainly a significant performance advantage to keeping essentially static pages html. However, in my current benchmarking (using both siege and ab on my Ubuntu servers using apache with mod_php), if I use a cache such as APC and a well-configured apache server, PHP tends to perform just as well (or sometimes even better) than the html version. Rasmus has demonstrated similar performance results: http://talks.php.net/show/froscon08/24 2) I don't want to have to change urls site-wide and set up redirects from the old url whenever a page requires adding dynamic capabilities. By making all pages PHP right from the beginning, adding dynamic capabilities is a snap as I just add the functionality. Adam I agree starting with all .php files is good practice for basic sites. I recommend for applications and bigger then basic project using a decent framework or main routing file to handle routes for you, instead of requiring you to manually adjust them if something changes.

Thanks for the replies. I'll just put a php on all my html containing php. A little of topic. Wich IDE are you guys using. I'm sort of in a catch twenty two here. I been alternating vim and dreamweaver. I'm trying to go 100% open source, but I really find dreamweaver easier to use so far.

Re: [PHP] newbie basic realm protection - why don't the input usr/pass stick?
you script looks (and works) fine. so i dont think the problem is in your script I found firebug/live http headers firefox addons to be helpful in this situation see if your client is actually sending Authorization Basic header Kranthi. http://goo.gl/e6t3 Kranthi, thanks for looking.. I did find out with the help of the host.. that the issue was because PHP was running in fastcgi mode instead of apache module mode.

[PHP] newbie basic realm protection - why don't the input usr/pass stick?
Hi everyone
I am hacking my way through something unrelated to this post.. but
needed to stop and (real quick) pass-protect a page to use it to run
some quick (*admin-only*) scripts on a shared host.
..and I see now how poor is my understanding of what seems like basic
stuff. As a start for my quick understanding to pass protect a page,
I used the Example #6 Basic HTTP Authentication example, from here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.http-auth.php
..which is just this:
?php
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=My Realm');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
echo pHello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}./p;
echo pYou entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password./
p;
}
?
..and no matter what i type in the authentication dialogue that pops
up.. then after I submit it.. it just keeps looping forever popping up
the dialogue.. I.e. I never get past the authenticate dialogue to see
this line executed:
echo pHello {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}./p;
What am I missing?
Thanks for your bothering to help with this,
Govinda

Re: [PHP] Newbie looking for a project
Dear Tedd, I have read one php book cover to cover, I wanted to contribute to projects for 2 reasons:- 1. Someone would benefit from the app. 2. I would learn more by interacting with experienced people. Writing apps on my own is fun but it's fruit is only for me to benefit from,but yes if nothing else I should do that.
