No, it's when moving from one page/script to another.

Nope. There's no 'refresh' as such.

Nope.
Ah well. As I mentioned earlier, I have a workaround now - not ideal, but as
it's working it'll do. I don't make money from web programming so I'll
leave it at that and get on with my day job :-)

This should really go to a MySQL list, but...
If your table is called "menus", this should do the job.
SELECT a.*
FROM menus a LEFT JOIN menus b ON a.Id = b.Owner
WHERE b.Owner IS NULL

Hi there - I was wondering if there was some kind of PHP function to

Not in php. Search for programs that you can execute from command line
for your platform.

Hi all,
I use the following program:
<?php
print_form();
print_quotes ();
function print_form () {
ob_start();
output_add_rewrite_var("sort", "sorting");
echo <<<EOF
<form>
...
</form>
EOF;
ob_flush();
}
function print_quotes () {
output_reset_rewrite_vars();
echo <<<EOF
<table>
...
</table>
EOF;
}
?>
The result printed is:
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4
<form><input type="hidden" name="sort" value="sorting" />
...
</<table>
...
</table>
Well, do you have any idea why PHP prints:
</<table>
...instead of:
</form><table>
I have tried this program under Fedora Core 2 in command line mode and on an
Apache web server with the same results.
Do you have suggestions for making this program work and why does this
happen?
Thank you.

I think the problem is with your 'here document' this is the traditional
way of doing things in perl but in php you could 'go back into HTML. by
using the '?>' sequence. Thus your program might become
function print_quotes () {
output_reset_rewrite_vars();
?>
<table>
...
</table>
<?
}
There are pros and cons of both approach but the bit of code i have
given will produce the expected result.

Thank you. I will try that solution if it works, but the question still
remains...
Is PHP so buggy? The 'here document' should work without a problem in PHP
also.
My code works fine with PHP 5 (fortunately) under Windows, but it doesn't
work with PHP 4.3.4 under Linux.
I think I need to upgrade php under Linux also...

The latest stable PHP 4 is rock solid from where I'm sitting. We have
a bunch of Debian servers running 4.3.9 with no issues.

I would defiantly upgrade. Hundreds of bugs have been fixed from
4.3.4 -> 4.3.9.

It probably wasn't a bug in php 4.3.4 but as greg has pointed out you
probably should upgrade anyway. Here documents are pretty hard to work
with at the best of times and it's quite easy to make a teeny weeny hard
to detect typo.,
My code works fine with PHP 5 (fortunately) under Windows, but it doesn't
work with PHP 4.3.4 under Linux.

Dear All,
I have a problem of back to the previous page in php.....
I need to create a form let people to fill in .It can let user to
preview the form, if information is not correct , user can back to

I have used the javascript : OnClick='history.go(-1)' and
OnClick='history.back()' in php , but it can not works....pls help
me.
Thanks and Regards,

What I do is store all the fields in $_SESSION variables, so when you
go back to the page, if they filled that particular field out, it
should show what they have already completed.
------------------
<?php
session_start();
if ($_POST["submitted"] == 1) {
$_SESSION["field1"] = $_POST["something"];
$_SESSION["field2"] = $_POST["pizza"];
}
?>
<form action="wherever.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="something" value="<? echo $_SESSION["field1"];
?>"/>
<input type="text" name="pizza" value="<? echo $_SESSION["field2"];
?>"/>
<input type="submit" value="GO"/>
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="1"/>
</form>
------------------
So, there's no need to use javascript or to actually "go back." You can
just "redirect" to that page and have it "remember" the variables. To
redirect back to it, use header("location:
http://mysite.com/wherever.php";); It is not *always* necessary to use
the absolute path to indicate that particular page in the header()
function, but it doesn't hurt.
Sorry if I have rambled on or confused you - it's late and I'm sleepy.
Good luck with that.

$sql = "
SELECT
product_id
FROM
products
WHERE
product_id NOT IN ( "
. implode( ', ', $ex_array )
. " ) ";
This question would be more appropriate for the php-db list.

Without seeing any code, I'm going to guess that you haven't defined a
variable before trying to use it. Wanna make it go away? Turn off
'notices' in your error reporting, or make sure your variables are
defined before you try to use them.

Hello.
I have a problem with downloads with the use of header()
I have this code at the start at the download site:
Header("Content-Type: application/download");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export.txt");
My problem is that the file which is downloaded contains HTML code which I
don't need, and don't want to have there.
Is there some way to take control on what should be written to the file?
I am almost there, I have all the data I want do generate on the file, but
in the start of the file HTML code are written.
Anyone who can help me?
I can't store a file on the server, and then download it, because of some
government rules.

Anything you echo after sending the headers will be inserted into the
downloaded file. For example:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/download");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=export.txt");
echo "This is the first line\n";
echo "This is the second line.";
?>
Will cause the users browser to download a text document that contains
two lines of text. All you need to do is write your php code after the
headers that generates your text file contents.

Hello people,
I've got into problem with compilation of turck mm_cache module.
Usual steps for mm_cache compilation were:
phpize
./configure
make
but now, when I run phpize (appropriate one from right directory) I've
got this error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] turck-mmcache]# phpize
NONE:0: /usr/bin/m4: ERROR: EOF in string
[EMAIL PROTECTED] turck-mmcache]#
PHP 4.3.9 no Linux
MM_CACHE latest from CVS (latest "stable" from SF was the same problem)
is there anyone who have ever seen this?
Can anyone help?
thanks

Greetings,
On one of my forms to send email, I have multiple line breaks with different
paragraphs. I looked up the nl2br function and that looks like an option,
but I would ideally like to wrap these paragraphs inside <p></p> tags. Is
there a way to do this easily? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm sure somebody will have a 'cleaner' way, but...
$text = preg_split ( "/\n/", $inputText );
for ( $i = 0; $i < sizeof ( $text ); $i++ ) {
if ( $text[$i] != "" ) {
$text[$i] = "<p>" . $text[$i] . "</p>";
}
}

explode() the text by the "\n" character, this will give you an array.
Iterate over the array and add your <p> tags there.

Check it out, in 2 weeks I got to #4 on Google for "ebay motors" -
which, as you may know, translates into major affiliate dollars.
Completely free and easy to do (as long as your site is in PHP). It's
all about backlinks generated from this free ad network:

Hi!
Is there any way to order the PHP (mod_php) to log everything to
ErrorLog defined by Apache in VirtualHost section? In php.ini I see only
the possibility to specify the concrete global logfile or syslog, but a
such setup doesn't fit to virtual host scenario...
Thanks for your advice and excuse me, If i missed something trivial.
