next time you're having problems, try doing an error_reporting(E_ALL); It
really helps a lot, though I'll admit it can be a bit finicky :)
Oh and don't forget to turn it off when you're done w/ development

"It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge
must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction
as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross
superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would set

darkness of mediaeval disbelief."

you can simply call:
Window.location.href =
'http://yourdomain.com/phpscripttocall.php?variable1=value1&variable2=value2'
^works in all browsers supporting JavaScript ... there's a few variants of
this that will only work in IE or Netscape, but this one is vague enough to
work in both... (not sure about Opera, it doesn't run well on my setup, so
testing with it is a basically impossible for me)...
if you use frames, it's a bit more tricky, but I trust you don't, otherwise
just ask ... :) ... I've got the complete JavaScript code to change the
content of frames criss-cross of each other in any way and pattern you can
dream off... (my site used to be a JS driven monster before I got my
webhotel and the option to do it all with PHP) ...

Good morning.
I know this may be off-topic but I don't know where to turn.
I'm building a dynamic web page system with PHP and need to figure out in
JavaScript how to do something. I have the timer figured out in JavaScript
but what I need is a way to automatically submit a request back to the web
server after the timer runs out. What I'm trying to do is display slides in
sequence. When the timer expires, it sends back to the web server the
parameters of slide group and the last slide displayed. The PHP on the
server end builds a new page and sends it to the browser with the next slide
in the sequence.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and my PHP skills are vastly above my
JavaScript skills (very basic beginner).

I should first admit to being a php newbie, so the answer may
be obvious, but this looks like a
bug to me. Global variables are OFF. I start a session at the very
top of page "member.php":
session_start();
In a function called from the same page, I store some variables in
the session array:
$pilot = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$usrname = $pilot['given']." ".$pilot['last'];
$valid_ID = $pilot['ID'];
$timestamp = date("U");
session_register("usrname","timestamp","valid_ID");
then in another function called from the same page (or a different
page, since this is where I find which
user is sending in a page), I attempt to use the "timestamp" data.
Three "echo" lines are added to provide
some debugging help.
if (session_is_registered("valid_ID")){
echo "inside check IF <br>";
$current_time = date("U");
echo "Time = $current_time.<br>";
$session_time = $current_time - $_SESSION('timestamp');
echo "session time = $session_time seconds.<br>";
The output to the browser (Safari) is as follows:
inside check IF
Time = 1072308706.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array() in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/testit/Logsafe_project/user_auth_fns.php
on line 35
As you can see, the code bombs as soon as it hits the
$_SESSION('timestamp'). Note that it did pass through
(session_is_registered("valid_ID") successfully and if I go look in
the directory where the cookie would go,
it is there.
I am operating in system 10.3.2 (Panther) and, as far as I
can tell, using php 4.3.2. Any help would be appreciated.

$_SESSION['logged_in']

But you /can/ use JS to set a cookie, which can be retrieved (and stored in a
session variable if you want) by PHP.
