the trick is $$var_name ;)
have fun,
Nuno
Thanks for your response, but that's not my problem. I'll explain
further...
I have a table with the following fields in a row:
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
eee
I have a page with a form:
<FORM POST>
mysql_db_query($db, "SELECT * FROM table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<INPUT TYPE='CHECKBOX' NAME='chk_".$row["checkboxtype"]."'>";
}
This will create several checkboxes with the following names:
chk_aaa
chk_bbb
chk_ccc
chk_ddd
chk_eee
ON THE NEXT PAGE, AFTER THE SUBMIT BUTTON IS CLICKED, THESE VARIABLES WILL
EXIST, but I cannot refer to them like this:
$chk_$row["field"]
How can I refer to them??? They can change based on the field data, so they
cannot be considered static variables.
Not *sure* i understand the problem, but this may be the solution:
$foo = "hello";
$bar = "foo";
$foobar = $$bar;
$foobar now contains "hello".

It is what you're looking for, you just need to think it through a little.
instead of
> $chk_$row["field"]
try
$foo = "chk_" . $row["field"];
$bar = $$foo;
or if you're trying to do something else, you may need
$foo = "chk_" . $row;
$bar = ($$foo)["field"];
as I'm not sure which order of execution you want to happen on that
line, since it's not valid :)

have you thought about creating an array of the variables? "chk[$row]" and
then you'd read 'em back like chk["aaa"] or chk["bbb"] or you could loop
through the array with a each statement...
but for variable variables...try ${"chk_".$row}["field"] which should
work...

this works, you should be able to do something similar assigning
$row["checkboxtype"] as the array key. That way you don't need to know what
it's called just the array it is an element of.
<?php
if (isset($formvars))
{ foreach ($formvars as $fvTitle => $fvValue)
echo("$fvTitle:$fvValue<br>");
};
?>
<form action="#" method="post">
<?php
$gotvars[fred] = "fred value";
$gotvars[bill] = "billvalue";
foreach ($gotvars as $gvTitle => $gvValue)
echo("$gvTitle<input type=text name=formvars[$gvTitle] size=40
maxlength=80 value='" . $gvValue . "'><br>");
?>
<input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>

Sprintf formats strings and numbers to a specific format (correct?) then why
is this
$q = SPRINTF("SELECT prodnum, childdesc FROM prodaval");
like that? Why SPRINTF in this case? We are calling a MySQL table, is it
specific to calling a MySQL table or is this required for all calls to a
DB... or (simply) could it be written like this
$q = "SELECT prodnum, childdesc FROM prodaval";
Thanks!
Karl,
where is the first line from? it's pretty useless overhead.
$q = 'SELECT prodnum, childdesc FROM prodaval' would be second fastest
(the string is now parsed as it is in single quotes).
fastest would be to directly feed the statement to the query function
(e.g. mysql_query) instead of storing it in a variable before.
Cheers,
Ben

Is there a way to pass things to a php page you are referring to by href
(without forms or anythin), and if so could someone point me to the
documentation describing how?
Thanks,
Britton
easy - http://www.yourserver.com/path/to/yourfile.php?v1=foo&v2=bar
will create two variables, $v1 and $v2, with the values of "foo" and "bar"
respectively. note that the first variable is preceeded with a ?, all others
afterwards with an &.

The $$ thing works. You're right, I wasn't thinking it through...

I get flamed for this sometimes, but we don't normally charge an hourly rate for a
project. After-project maintenance, yes, but for an initial project we normally quote
a fixed price.
The price will cover a minimal hourly rate to cover our costs, but we don't normally
cap it on the top
by saying "that's 200 hours at $125/hour so it's $25,000" (or whatever it would be).
Rather, we try to gain as much info as we can about the project and it's relative
value to
the business. If someone is having us build a system that will net them a direct cost
reduction
of $2 million dollars per year, we will take that into consideration. Some people
think that's
gouging, but we don't see it like that. On the flip side of that, we've taken on
projects
at lower than normal rates because the job was cool, but the value to the business just
wouldn't be all that much. No sense in charging someone $10,000 for an inventory
system
when they only do $20k/year in sales, for example.

Hey Shane,
This is a tricky issue, here's me (USD):
$60/hr
$30/hr if end result becomes open sourced (no strings)
General discounts for features such as : fun,true non-profit,intelligent
employer,learning curve and it all lives on a sliding scale depending on
their ability to pay and my desire for work/money (time). Also, barter
is usually an option. Usually hovers between 30-50 and one day this will
go up :-) This is the most difficult part of the job, time estimates
and pricing. Bah. "Just give me money and I'll do stuff."

I find this an interesting topic...
One thing that we've found when looking for additional PHP programmers to
add is that since PHP has exploded there are a lot of people out there
coding in PHP that don't have a background in programming or some of the
design considerations. We've looked at various places from techies.com to
guru.com and haven't found that many PHP gurus out there. So in terms of
skill level, what do you all see the going rate? I know I'm currently
underpaid at $25/hour and I do ALL the PHP programming, project management,
engineering, database theory etc...oh...and did I mention I do all the
network support too? (I'm taking my CCNA in June...) so yeah...we're a
starup what did you expect?! =)

Disclaimer: I don't mean to offend anyone out there who codes in PHP. But
from the experience that I've had trying to find someone who can really code
clean, effecient stuff that plugs into the whole picture has been virtually
non-existent...(if you do, please call! We have a few openings!)

Hey Shane,
This is a tricky issue, here's me (USD):
$60/hr
$30/hr if end result becomes open sourced (no strings)
General discounts for features such as : fun,true non-profit,intelligent
employer,learning curve and it all lives on a sliding scale depending on
their ability to pay and my desire for work/money (time). Also, barter
is usually an option. Usually hovers between 30-50 and one day this will
go up :-) This is the most difficult part of the job, time estimates
and pricing. Bah. "Just give me money and I'll do stuff."

I hear you. Another thing that's hard to find, is somebody who is a
good programmer, and a good graphic designer. I don't really know
any, apart from myself, and I've been just shy of being called a lying
scumbag by a few HR companies over the years when they look at
my resume ;-)
This thread has really fired up my desire to go the states.... US$80
an hour for php.... daaaaaaaaaaaamn, that's a shitload more than I
make here, which is more like US$20/hr

Remember though, if you're on a salary you'll get less an hour for
ANYTHING (not just PHP) but it'll at least be consistent...
Jason
One thing to keep in mind is we're mixing up contract jobs and "real" jobs
with contract jobs usually being much higher rates. Not sure on any
specifics though but real jobs are pretty secure, eight hours a day ... so
it's a tradeoff. Most (if not all) quotes thus far are in regard to
contract jobs.

Yeah, I'm consulting though...but yes there are some other options...where
does it say $80/hour in the US?!

I charge $50/hr. for any programming I do - if it's a small project. For
larger projects, I work out a budget with my client.
I'm in the process of releasing a new service to the web, though. Swift
eNetwork. This project will allow my clients to register their website on
the network and build their website without needing to do any programming
(or without needing ME to do any programming, everything is dynamic) -- they
choose their layouts, colors, etc. and put in their data and they're all
set. If they want to add to their website's functionality, they add some
pre-designed, customizable plugins - and suddenly they have a fully-dynamic,
professional website in minutes.
I read your post Josh... I think you are a very talented programmer - and
graphic artist. I am lacking in the area of graphics and once I have
established my network online I will be looking for someone to develop some
more graphical appearing templates for my clients to use. The concept is
relatively simple -- all of the elements used on the page are in tables so
as long as the graphical templates can work with tables, they should
function perfectly.
Since the network isn't online, I can't show it to anyone. But I added a
page to a site where you can see some screenshots if you are interested to
see my work. Let me know what you think!! And if anyone is interested in
helping me with some of the templates, please let me know...maybe we can
work something out together...
The release date is Valentine's Day...

I have an engineering background with 10yrs consulting experience and have seen many
different type of fee structures (fixed project rate, hourly, percentage, profit-share
etc.)
The typical formula for determining rate is 2-3 times salary. The multiplier covers
G&A + a little profit margin.
For example, a salaried employee getting $25/hr is equivalent to a consultant charging
$50-75 or more an hour.
There is a BIG difference between consultant, contract and employee::
- A true consultant is self sufficient, independant of the client and bears their own
infrastructure costs (phone, office space/rent, software, computers & equipment,
invoicing accounting, training etc.);
- Employee gets paid regardless;
- Employees are entitled to holidays, benifits and possibly overtime;
- Employees get training on paid company time;
- Employee assumes little or no liability for their actions (very important
difference);
- Employee doesn't have to worry about all the "other" stuff.
- Contract is somewhere between consultant and employee (big grey area here).
Regards,
- Scott
There is no fixed rate or specific formula, it all depends on the marketplace and
proficiency.

Just an observation from some people I know in the USA - they charge
whatever they can get away with.
How about honestly charging what you think you are worth ?
Knowing how to use php means nothing - but if you know it well you will
be worth a lot.

I've never quite understood why employers seem to expect that a
php/perl programmer should also be doing graphic design. They're
quite unrelated activities using completely different skills. It's
not something that's generally expected from other professions
(when was the last time you saw an advert for an accountant that
required they be proficient with Photoshop?) so why programmers?

try to use
$value = 5.0;
$sval = sprintf("$%003.2f",$value);
$sval will contain formatted value.

UltraDev Gang-
I am working on getting support for PHP4 into Ultradev 4. I have some
working code that implements about 1/2 of UD's feature set in PHP (on
Windows). Ideally I'd like to see a server model for UD that fully supports
PHP. If you want to take a look at release 0.01, the link is at:
http://www.geocities.com/php4ud
There is also a reference panel for PHP in the queue at the Macromedia
Exchange. When it gets reviewed and placed on the exchange, I will post a
message here.
"So how can I help?" I am so glad you asked. :) If you have any ideas on
how better to implement the generated code that fits with MM's basic design,
let me know. I am trying to make the conneciton stuff for with any db, not
just Mysql, so if you have any ideas or sample code, let me know. Also there
is a whole set of things left to implement on the web site, feel free to
tackle one of those. You can reach me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Happy coding!

I recently downloaded the ArGoSoft mail server that
someone on this list once suggested when trying to use
the mail command on a window's system running php.
I have since installed it and it works fine, except
for the fact that my isp blocks connections to port 25
that will relay email to other servers. Tech support
says I can do it using any other port tho.
Is there a way to re-write the mail() function to do
this? Or does the port specs rest solely with the mail
server (which cannot be configured on which port to
send to)?
Help appreciated, suggestions welcome, better server
software links honored, and yes i did read the manual
on mail().
thank you

Hello
Is there a 'redo' loop control function? All I can find are 'break' and
'continue'.
Thanks
Lux
I am not sure whether this is related to PHP. I'm using PHP and
Javascript to do my program.
I have some problem with my reloading parent window.
In my program, I have a delete button which will pop up a child window
once the user clicked the button. In the child window will have two
option of delete buttons.
Once the user clicked either one button, i want the child window to be
close and at the same time the parent window will reload. How should I
do this.
Please give some advise or tips to me.
thanks.
I have been working on a script and come to a brick wall which I can't break...
I am using Suse Linux 2.2 kernel, PHP4.04pl1 Mysql 3.22 Mod_ssl open_ssl - this is
running on an old 486 with 16Meg RAM.
I have a session object variable ($Items) which has as one of its elements
($LineItems) an
array of objects each containing the order line details. This script is to insert the
records to process a dispatch into an invoice.
I lock (all the tables I need to lock) before going into a loop through all the
$Items->LineItems and then a whole raft of SQL inserts and updates using the same $SQL
variable to hold the SQL and $Result variable to hold the result in each case.
The problem is that I get a parser error when the sript within the foreach
($Items->LineItems as OrderLine) loop
gets too big when I remove the last block of code the pasrser error which was
occurring
at a line before the deleted code dissappears and the script works (as far as it goes).
Add in a few more lines within the loop and the parser error comes back but further up
in
the code that was previously working ok - and has not been changed!!
The script is not huge line 343 - 385 is where the parser is falling over .
Has any one hit this snag. I can post the script if this pricks anyones interest!
TIA
Phil Daintree
Phil,
posting the scrpit would be good, it's hard to say anything without
having seen it.

Folks,
The title is my question, how do I assign strign value into variables? Say , is the
syntax below correct?
if ($singleRooms==1) {
$roomType ='Single Room';
}elseif ($singleRooms==2) {
$roomType ='Double Room';
}else{
$roomType='Room Type not declared';
}

Yup, the = is the assignment operator. You might like to take a look at
manual/en/language.operators.php at your favourite mirror for more
information on the various operators.
You could also do the above with a switch statement.
switch($singlerooms) {
case 1:
$roomType ='Single Room';
break;
case 2:
$roomType ='Double Room';
break;
......
}

> e-mail address or not?
It depends on what you mean by "valid email address". For example, I can
enter "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which looks valid, but doesn't exist. You can
take things a step further and lookup the domain and make sure it
exists. Even then, I can enter "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which will pass the
lookup check. You can go even further and send me an email message with a
"key" which I must enter in order to prove that the email address I gave
is valid. Even so, it is easy to create a throw-away account at hotmail
or another free email provider.
Anyway, there is a class on phpclasses.upperdesign.com that does a good
job of checking an address.

Does anyone have, or know of a script which simulates what Apache gives out
when it shows the entire contents of a directory ?
I find it very handy to use the directory listing of say graphics
directories and the like, but I dont want others looking into them.
What I thought would be a good system is to have an index.php file which
asks for a password. If the password is accepted, it shoots them off to a
php script which displays the contents of the DIR just as apache would.
This way I can bar viewing of the directories contents, only viewable to
the owners of the password.
Ive seen a couple of scripts which claim to show the directory listing, but
none of them seem to work any good with a decent layout and amount of file
info. So im looking for a script which can display the listing properly.
Does one exist, or am I just relieving myself into the wind ?
Thanks
Chris

To connect to an AS400, you MUST HAVE THE DRDA package installed.
Then you just run the Unified ODBC as usual (which still don't use ODBC but
translate to DB2 CLI under the covers.)
Look for the DRDA stuff in the DB2 Connect area/CD-ROM.
There's stuff on phpbuilder.com about it too.

Hi,
Im rather a novice at PHP, so I appologize if this question is rather
basic. Also, to be sure, I have looked through the PHP site and archives
for answers to this question with no luck. Sorry if it is repetative.
I am writing a script that will send me an email every time a 404 error is
returned for an http request. So far I have the script working so that it
will email me and inform me of the URL of the page that has the offending
link by using the HTTP_REFERER environment variable. I would also like to
find out what the requested page URL is. I have checked phpinfo() for
info on other Apache enviro variables, but can't seem to find anything
that would work. How can I do this? Is it possible?
Thank you,
Michael

Sure - $REQUEST_URI is what you're looking for.

Thank you very much, I will look forward to this. This may be just what I
was looking for, a complete beginner's tutorial for PHP. Congrats and good
luck with the opening night.
Sincerely,

Hello together,
if you currently use sessions and register objects inside of a session
it is necessary to include the class definition of such object in every
php page to be able to access the contents of such object.
This is problematic if you have a system where the main php page does
not know everything about the functions it is using.
For example we have a lot of functions that do some specific tasks and
require to store an object inside the session. However, the main php
page (where the session_start() is in) doesn't know anything about it.
On the next page our function is only able to access the data that was
inside the object und the name of the class that is used by the object.
So, theoretically it would be possible to load the class definition now
and make the object useable.
Is there any mechanism we can use to take the, now existing, class
definition and the incomplete PHP Object to create a real, useable PHP
Object?

Hello guys,
I have the following problem:
in my PHP.ini (which stays under c:\WINNT) I have
include_path = "P:\includes; " ; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
Windows: "\path1;\path2"
doc_root = ; the root of the php
pages, used only if nonempty
under "P:\includes" are PHPLIB and some few scripts that I need to
auto_prepend under all the roots on my local server.
PHPLIB is being included properly, but, if I try to include a file within a
current directory like:
include ("header.inc");
I get the following error:
Warning: Failed opening 'header.inc' for inclusion
(include_path='P:\includes; ') in p:\phpbeginner\index.html on line 17
(NOTE: include ("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/header.inc"); will work perfectly )
I know that on Linux to fix the problem would be enough to add something
like this into PHP.INI
include_path = ".: /full/path/to/includes: " ; UNIX:
"/path1:/path2" Windows: "\path1;\path2"
How do I do this under Win2K ?
Anyone had this problem before?

Hi all,
has anyone seen mailing list archiving software with a php frontend?
more detailed:
I am looking for software that sits listening on an email address and
will archive all mail that it receives (which in this case would be that
of a mailing list).
The archive should be accessible by a php interface.
I guess there must be some off-the-shelf solution to this (or at least
each of the components separately), but I have not seen it.
Thanks for your help,
Ben
Can anyone explain in detail how I can increase the upload_max_filesize to 5 meg
instead of the default 2 meg?
Thanks,

Sorry, that isn't very detailed but I appreciate your help. Where can I find
php.ini?
