But the 1% which isn't compatible can be a major pain. If you're mainly
writing your own stuff then you should be OK. The recommended php.ini
settings for 4.1.X will break a lot of stuff written by other people.

In 4.1.x series there are new vars (global scope)
$_GET,$_POST,$_COOKIE,$_FILES,$_SESSION
not available in 4.0.x versions. For old scripts could be problem that
register_globals is off in the 4.1.x tree(for new
installations, not upgrades). But this is for good.

Hi,
thanks for reading this, Im just going to say it cos i dont want to waste
your time. Im looking for a really big favour here(cos I think it may take
time to spot this, although it might only take five seconds to spot, but I
dunno,the problem area of code is only four lines long), so dont spend time
reading this unless you got half an hour spare or are looking a good
samaritan award or something.
Still reading this? Excellent, Iam saved.
I wrote code which takes a input string, breaks it up and puts the bits into
an array called $real. THIS WORKS.
But I may have lots of input strings so I slapped a for loop around the code
to do the same thing for all the inputs and THAT WORKS ASWELL!
Then i wanted to save the different bits of each input string in its own
array, so I created an array of arrays and at the end of each cycle of the
big loop, I take out all the element in $real and put them into the array of
arrays, called $poly[][]. THIS DOESNT WORK.
I've spent a week trying to fix this and get that horrible feeling that all
the work is going down the drain, cos if I dont get this working, I am
screwed.
I'd be sincerely grateful if someone could help me with this

Hi.
I have the following PHP program executed from an HTML form where I pass
the associative array key name as a variable:
<?
function show($name)
{
$cnt = count($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]);
echo "Count for $name is $cnt";
echo "<br />";
}
show("countries");
show("cities");
?>
The result is always 0. The form fields do have name=countries[] and
name=cities[] to indicate an array.
When I hardcode the count line in the function as follows just to test
to make sure the transfer from the browser works, it displays a correct
non-zero result:
$cnt = count($HTTP_POST_VARS["cities"]);
I even tried these statements in the function but all give a 0 result:
$cnt = count($HTTP_POST_VARS["".$name.""]);
How do I get the count line to work with a variable in the function?
Thanks,
Eurico

Use global. Read the docs about variable scoping.
If you use php >=4.1.0 then use $_POST, $_GET,... they not need to use global. Global
scope.
<?
function show($name)
{ global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$cnt = count($HTTP_POST_VARS[$name]);
echo "Count for $name is $cnt";
echo "<br />";
}
show("countries");
show("cities");
?>

unfortunately, no. one thing you can do is use javascript to pop up a
small window in your form's onsubmit method that tells the user to hang
on, and then close that window in the next page's onload method. it
isn't easy to do a real progress meter, but even this little bit should
help tremendously.
you may also want to check the md5 sum of the file contents against
previous uploads to detect duplicates.

you need to enable the pcntl extension, and then you can use pcntl_fork
(http://php.net/pcntl_fork). you may also be able to use the 'ticks'
mechanism (http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.declare.php).

Have you checked that $authors is indeed an array? Try print_r($authors), if
you see an Array printed then you're OK, anything else then $authors is not
an array hence your foreach loop fails. Also what does a typical 'AS' field
look like?
> Am I indeed building an array as I go through my database?
As it stands your code will only get the last set of $authors. Your while
loop is not adding to $authors, it is replacing it each time through the
loop. Thus you'll end up with whatever is in the last row of the results.
As someone already suggested, you could use:
array_push($authors, explode(";", $mydata->AS));

Let's work on some debugging. By using mysql_error()
you'd eventually find out that AS is a reserved word
in mysql, see:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Reserved_words.html
That said, here's some example code to play with,
untested but should work.
if (!$conn = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass)) {
echo 'Cannot Connect: '. mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (!mysql_select_db($dbname)) {
echo 'Cannot Select Db: '. mysql_error();
exit;
}
$sql = "SELECT something FROM $tablename";
// AS is reserved as the following is a valid
// SQL query: SELECT foo AS bar FROM blah
// See: http://www.sqlcourse.com/
// http://www.w3schools.com/sql/
if (!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
echo "Cannot run query ($sql): ". mysql_error();
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$authors[] = explode(';', $row['something']);
}
print_r($authors);
Rename your field to something other then AS, like
perhaps "authors" or something ;) Also eventually
learn about "Database Normalization".

I'm splitting mysql entries to build an array of author names called $authors.

http://ccl.flsh.usherb.ca/db/authors_under_study.php
It works, but still gets "First argument to array_push() needs to be an array"
and fails before it gets to "print_r($authors)". Am I doing something wrong
here:
$authors = array_push($authors, explode(";", $mydata->AUS));
---------------snip--------------------------------
$news = mysql_query("select id,AUS from $table");
$authors = array();
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
echo $mydata->id."|".$mydata->AUS."<hr>\n";
$authors = array_push($authors, explode(";", $mydata->AUS));
}
print_r($authors);
---------------------snip---------------------
The data looks like:
id->1 = "Zola, Émile";
id->2 = "Mendès, Catielle ??; Grutman; Bernabé, Jean; Andrade, Mario de;
Sutherland, Ronald; Faulkner, William Harrison; Nabokov, Vladimir; Klein,
Abraham Moses; Chassay, Jean-François; Glissant, Édouard; Martí, José;
Jonassaint, Jean; Aguiar, Flavio";
id->3 = "Roberts, Charles George Douglas; Carman, Bliss; Scott, Francis
Reginald; Gustafson, Ralph; Marriott, Anne; Kenneth, Leslie";
id->4 = "Roberts, Charles George Douglas; Carman, Bliss; Scott, Francis
Reginald; Gustafson, Ralph; Marriott, Anne; Kenneth, Leslie";
id->5 = "Tremblay, Michel; Glassco, Bill; Freeman, David; Meunier, Claude;
Gaboriau, Linda; Fennario, David;";
id->6 = "Tremblay, Michel; Laurendeau, André; Gélinas, Gratien; Glassco, Bill;

Hi,
I am developing site that needs to have stock quotes retrieved and
placed into the database. Perhaps someone know if there is a site that
would supply me with quotes? - I just do not want to do it manually :-((
I guess I could setup a cron job to run @ midnight and update quotes for
selected stocks but I am not sure where to access quotes - any pointers?
Thanks

You might be interested in learning more about XML-RPC, which will allow
cross-platform language-neutral XML documents to generate events or
perform remote procedural calls (RPC).
You can use any language that can parse XML documents, which of course
includes our beloved PHP. This article focuses on Python, but it's just
an introduction and the theory is the same for PHP:

Without using SSL or JavaScript, is there any way to make an md5 hash or
encrypt a string before sending it out as a POST request?
It seems that without encrypting the data before sending it, it can
still be intercepted. Once intercepted, it doesn't matter if I use
md5() on the $_POST['password'] once it gets to the script, because
anyone can submit the same intercepted string to the script via POST and
it will be md5()ed when it gets there, thus defeating the purpose.
Maybe I haven't quite wrapped my brain around a decent authentication
scheme yet.

The PHPLIB auth class has some code to do this. You might want to look there
for ideas. If I recall correctly, they sent a hidden random string along
with the form that was different on each request. They then did an md5 hash
of the post data concatenated with the random string.

Hi all,
I have an SQL table that holds 'tips' and is linked to a table
containing the authors details.
I'd like to add a simple 'thumbs up, thumbs down' vote mechanism to it.
The (simplified) table looks like this:
id | authId | title | tip
The only way I've come up with so far is to add two more fields
(thumbs_up and thumbs_down). Then....
each time someone votes...
get the current value of the field (say thumbs_up)
use php to increment it's value and
pop it back in the db.
Is there a better way?

What if you made the field a signed INT field, and used PHP to subtract
one from the current value of the field every time someone chose "thumbs
down" or add one to the current value of the field every time someone
chose "thumbs up". This way you could have a "level" of how well the
author stacks up.
This is just another idea shooting the moon, the truth is that it would
probably be fine either way. A matter of personal preference.

I personally prefer voting mechanisms that display how many votes have
been cast. If you keep the thumbs_up separate from thumbs_down, you can
figure the total number of votes. Otherwise, you will not be able to
know whether the author is *really* average or just never voted for.

Hi there,
I am wondering if it is anyhow possible to check if the client has activated
JavaScript and in case he has not to redirect him to another page?
The thing is, as soon as the noscipt tap detects it, php is already parsed
and withouth JS I don not see a possibility to redirect him.
Does anybody have an idea on that?
Thanx andy

Why don't you do it the other way round: redirect if JS *is* available?

Hi,
I would like any file under the root of a certain domain name to redirect to
a PHP template file.
For instance, I would like a request for /services/ to redirect to
http://myhost/index.php?path=/services/ . This is similar to what PHP.Net
does with their function lookup shortcut (where you can go to
http://php.net/function-name instead of the longer equivalent.)
I have it set up with mod_rewrite as follows:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+) /path/to/index.php?path=$1 [L]
The only problem is that Apache is considering this a redirect, and is thus
overwriting my $1 with the name of the current file (index.php.) The only
place I can find the original file is
HTTP_SERVER_VARS["REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING"]. Is there a way to pull out the
name of the original file without going through extracting $HTTP_SERVER_VARS
and the like?
BTW, I know there was a post on how PHP.Net did the function shortcut a
while back. If someone can post a link to that again, I'd be grateful. I
can't seem to find it.
Thanks!

I've just created a "add record to table" type of page - basically copied
a working php file I have on hand, and changed the values etc.
Now, I am having problems trying to troubleshoot something. Basically
my mySQL query is:
INSERT INTO events (TITLE, SUMMARY, ORG, CITY, PROVINCE, DATE, REG_DATE,
FEE) VALUES ('Another Event', 'Summary of this event goes here', 'Another
Organization', 'Coquitlam', 'BC', 'Another Date', 'Another Date', '$250')
and I have a coding in my php file that pretty much tells mySQL if it
can't insert this, spit out the problem:
Can't execute INSERT INTO events (TITLE, SUMMARY, ORG, CITY, PROVINCE,
DATE, REG_DATE, FEE) VALUES ('Another Event', 'Summary of this event
goes here', 'Another Organization', 'Coquitlam', 'BC', 'Another Date',
'Another Date', '$250') Unknown column 'ORG' in 'where clause'
Okay, there's an ORG column in the database table, and if I check my
mySQL phpAdmin interface (even ran the same query in the myPHPAdmin interface),
the very record has been inserted into the
database without problems. So the inserting record into database part
isn't the problem - it seems to me that the problem is that somewhere
along the line, PHP is confused and is telling me something else.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Are there rumblings of what to look for in the next major release of PHP
yet? Is there a different, better place to ask? I'm just curious...

I'm setting up a contact page on a site.
Typically I use form inputs to assemble the data and then use the mail()
function to send the data to the appropriate user.
Whenever I submit the form data, I immediately see a system error
reporting that sendmail (version 8.12.1) cant chdir to
/var/spool/clientmqueue ... and naturally the mail does not get
delivered.
Permissions and ownership of this directory are 4770 and root.smmsp
respectively. (smmsp is the SendMail Mail Submission Protocol
userid/groupid). If I change permissions to 4777, the mail gets
through, but I get a syslog warning that I have dangerous permissions
set for that directory (I agree).
Has anyone else experienced this issue, and or can anyone recommend a
secure solution.

hi,
I try to upload a file using a form. When I use INPUT TYPE="text" it is ok,
but when i change it to "hidden" it doesn't work :(
This is a part of the form:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="dir" VALUE="<? echo $dir?>" >
where $dir is a directory where I want ot place the file. The script to copy
a file looks like that:
copy($userfile, $dir.$userfile_name);
Please help

Success. After a bit of tinkering :) and reading up. Thanks for the
ideas.
Now one last question. here is my array $authors:
http://ccl.flsh.usherb.ca/db/authors_under_study.php
sorted alphabetically.
How do I go about sorting again it so it renders:
Aguiar, Flavio 1
Andrade, Mario de 1
Ashcroft, W.D. 1
Atwood, Margaret 3
Auden, W. H. 3
Bernabé, Jean 1
Birney, Earle 4
Basically, I want to start a new array (do i have to?)
and count every time an author appears, eliminating repetition.

Do you have a specific reason for calling Sendmail directly? If not, try

He was probably looking for an "alternative" solution, such as
$heads=(microtime() % 2) :-)

Below is included part of a script for a polls (simple yes no) I am trying
to use cookies to determin if they have already voted or not. No errors are
displaed but, I have tried to vote, and it gives no errors, nor does it give
an increase in the database, fine you might think its doing its job right.
But no, because i asked someone else to vote on it and it still didnt go up,
and he definately has not got the cookies.
Also, is it possible to use variables within cookies' names?
as you can see I am using _$id because there is more than 1 poll likely to
be used. If anyone can help clear up this odd problem I would be very happy.
Alternatilvly, would it be easier to use a second table with IP's of those
voted and the polls wich they have and used
while($num < $max)
{
if($currip == $row["voter_ip"];
{
$gvarvoted = "true";
}
}
if($gvarvoted == "true")
{
showres();
}
} or something like that ?
Code follows
--------------
include "config.php";
include "functions.php";
$mode=$HTTP_GET_VARS['mode'];
$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];
$submitted = $HTTP_POST_VARS['pollsubmitted'];
$isyes = $HTTP_POST_VARS['yes'];
$isno = $HTTP_POST_VARS['no'];
/* is set, do some thin */
switch ($mode)
{
case'show':
$hasvoted = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["hasvoted_$id"];
if($hasvoted == "hasvoted")
{
/* Show Results */
} else {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM polls WHERE id = '$id'";
$result = mysql_db_query($database,$sql,$db);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$noofresponses = $row["noofresponses"];
$yes = $row["yes"];
$no = $row["no"];
$yes = $yes +1;
$no = $no +1;
$noofresponses = $noofresponses + 1;
if(isset($isyes))
{
$usql = "UPDATE polls SET noofresponses = '$noofresponses', yes = '$yes'
WHERE id = '$id'";
$res = mysql_db_query($database,$usql,$db);
}
if(isset($isno))
{
$usql = "UPDATE polls SET noofresponses = '$noofresponses', no = '$no'
WHERE id = '$id'";
$res = mysql_db_query($database,$usql,$db);
}
setcookie("hasvoted_$id","hasvoted");
/* end of if(isset($hasvoted_$id) */
}
?>
