This depends also on Your browser of course. AFAIK GET is OK for data up
to 8kB, POST can be used for much bigger data

Hi,
I assume everyone has heard of P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences), so
I'll skip explaining in detail what it is. If you don't know, just skip this
message *g*.
I've got one Problem with this, and PHP may solve it:
P3P has absolutely no Application-Server/Scripting support. It's just a
simple XML-File that tells the User what (personal) data the Website
collects, and is Requested with "hard-coded" relative URL's.
Assume a PHP Website with URL-based Session's. A User Request the Homepage
(/index.phtml) - he's anonymous, collected data is anonymous. The (static)
P3P File tells the User that the collected data is anon. Well, now the User
logs-in via a Form-Submit and reloads the Page (/index.phtml). The
information is set in the PHP-Session, the User is shown other
(personalized) Content, but the P3P-File is still the same, telling the
user, that the collected data is still anonymous - this is (or may be) wrong
now.
P3P has no mechanism to handle this case, in P3P you can only set a
different policy for (sub-)folders (differrent URI's). The problem is, that
the GET Request is absolutely the same, it doesn't matter if the user is
logged-in or anonymous (well, it would be a security hole, if someone is
able to find out, if a user is logged-in when (s)he takes a look at the URL,
hm?).
Sure, it's possible to copy all "templates" to another subfolder and link
logged-in users to this one, but why should I do so? The advantage of using
templates (a I define them) is that they just show any content. They don't
care if this content is personalized or not. The content is "prepared" by
the "business logic" - programmed in PHP - and stored in a database. This
way, I'm able to use the same "templates" for logged-in and anonymous
users - well, half the work to do...
I already talked to some P3P-Members, they think, it is no Problem, but
didn't provide a solution - at least none I was able to understand *g*.
I think, P3P should (must!!) be supported by the Application-Server or
Scripting Language. It should be possible to catch a request for a P3P file
from the Webserver, match Information from the Session, and generate the
correct XML-contents on the fly or assign a matching P3P-File.

Hi,
just do it like this - the result will be the same, and $bar is still passed
by reference:
________________
$result = call_user_func("foo", $bar);
function foo( &$bar ) {
$bar .= 'foobar';
return 1;
}
_________________
This error just tells you, that you have to declare "pass-by-reference" in
your functions, and cannot use a "generic" function, that sometimes takes
parameters by reference and sometimes by value. This problem has nothing to
do with "call_user_func()".

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way of passing other variables to the function being called by
preg_replace_callback? For instance, I have the following code:
function smarty_compile_lang($tpl_source) {
// en.php contains a very large array, $_lang
include_once '/home/test/en.php';
global $_lang;
return preg_replace_callback('/##(.+?)##/', '_compile_lang', $tpl_source);
}
function _compile_lang($key){
// If I include $_lang here then it gets
// loaded again and again - bad for performance as it is _very_ large
return $_lang[$key[1]];
} // End _compile_lang
Somehow I need to make $_lang global, or pass it through the function
preg_replace_callback as an arguement for _compile_lang() - which I don't think is
possible?
What can I do? I've tried a global statement everywhere I can think of... and I don't
want to include en.php outside the functions, as it'll be included then whether the
templates are being compiled or not. I'm
guessing that I may want to look at a higher level of abstraction from these
functions, as even if I have the include in the current place, it means that every
time a template is compiled it gets reloaded (though that's
not as bad as every time preg_replace_callback() finds something) whereas the best way
would be to load it once per script invocation - and then only when the templates wer
being compiled...
Suggestions?
TIA,
Peter.

Hello,
I am trying to make a something like a cooking recipe with some calculations. My
problem is too much database querying. Is it really a problem???
Let's suppose there is a table with items and prices:
item1 price1
item2 price2
item3 price3
...
Then I have to calculate some new indegrient price, which is a result of calculating
other prices:
(ex: $new_price1 = 2*$price1 + $price2 )
To get wanted prices I used standard query:
----------------------------------------------------
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT price from price_list where id = '01'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$price1 = $row["price"];
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT price from price_list where id = '02'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$price2 = $row["price"];
//...and so on for about 30 indegrients.
And on the end:
$new_price1 = 2*$price1 + $price2;
print "$new_price1";
----------------------------------------------------------
But, is there a quicker way to do this? Am I doing maybe the wholistic mistake in
process?
Or this is just OK?
Please, help cooking the soup ;)
regards,
Alen

Allen,
Have you a table of recipes, like so:
recipe1 item1
recipe1 item2
...
recipe1 itemn
recipe2 item1
You could then fetch all the items for a given recipe, and loop through the
returned results (an array), concatenating the prices.
Alternately, you store all your items in an array for each recipe and loop
through the array ...
Here's an example of what I'm using, where the prompts for a page are
stored in a table. This lets me handle different languages very easily:
//all the connection stuff is up above ...
$cLLangCode = "GB";
$cPageName = "user_bid";
$arr_lbl = array();
$sql = "select cLblName,cLblText from prompt
where cLangCode = '$cLangCode' and cPageName =
'$cPageName'";
$result = mysql_query( $sql, $db )
or die( "Unable to fetch prompts for page $cPageName." );
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
{
$arr_lbl[$row[cLblName]] = $row[cLblText];
}
In the $arr_lbl assignment, following the while(), you could execute
queries for individual item costs, and add them up. Essentially nest the
same code inside the while, except that it's executing for one ingredient
at a time.
If you will have to a lot of this, seriously consider PostgreSQL (or
similar db) as it supports subqueries, and this situation cries out for
their use. This single line would give you the sum of all your ingredients:
Select sum(price) from items where item in (select item from
recipe where recipe_id = "choc_chip")
Database querying isn't a problem, as it's all server side and really fast,
no traffic across the wire. If you have a lot of complex queries, really
consider something other than MySQL.

Use smth like this ->
$need_prices = '01,02';
$prices = new Array();
$sql = "select * from price_list where id in ($need_prices)"
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
{//cycle while $result is not empty - for every record
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$prices[$row["id"]] = $row["price"];
}
After this you'll get array of prices $prices - indexes are id value. so u
can write
$new_price1 = 2*$prices[1] + $prices[2]

Isn't it called php.ini-dist first? Excerpt from the INSTALL file that
accompanied my PHP 4.0.6 dist:
"Next you must copy php.ini-dist to the appropriate place (normally
/usr/local/lib/php.ini) and edit it as necessary to set PHP options."
Of course, this doesn't matter if you're appending a wildcard to your
search ( 'php.ini*' ).

I don't think that Sherlock can recognize any file in the /etc
directories. If you never use Terminal, then Sherlock is okay, but if
you do stuff in the Terminal then you are working in levels of your
computer that Apple has decided to "hide" from most users. The /etc
directory is one example of this. For searches of the hard drive
outside of the Apple-approved Sherlock-searchable directories, read the
man page for "find". In your case, the file is probably located at
/etc/httpd/httd.conf. Open this file in pico or emacs, but be sure to
use "sudo emacs /etc/httpd/httpd.conf" if you are not logged in as root
because it is not writeable by normal users.

or use locate (you will have to set up the database first). You should be
able to find a tool called "Locator" on www.versiontracker.com which
provides a GUI for locate (although I'd rather use it in terminal).
AND: Sherlock WILL find the files in /etc if you search for "invisible"
files. But unfortunately drag & drop doesn't work for those files and
displayed filepath seems to be wrong (they are always displayed with a path
like "yourharddisk/<filename>")
and another tipp for you:
use BBedit (again available at versiontracker.com or www.barebones.com - for
free) if you don't like terminal apps. It has a point "Open hidden..." below
the menu "File" with which you can easily open and edit the httpd.conf (as
erik said it is normally located under /etc/httpd/httpd.conf) . BBedit will
probably tell you that you haven't appropriate rights to edit and save the
file - log out and log in as root again (or chown/chmod the file).

I'm using this in a script to send pdf files from Apache:
<?
// get the $pdf_name and $len of the $pdf_name
// stuff up here, and then ...
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$pdf_name");
header("Content-Length: $len");
readfile($pdf_name);
?>
About 6 out of 300 subscribers cannot see the PDF, although they can
download and view other PDF's from the site, or from other sites. I'm also
aware of the note regarding IE in the Manual, and am contacting them to
determine what browser/version they are using.
In the meantime, does anyone have any other suggestions?

I've installed PHP-4.0.6 using the following configuration:
'./configure' '--prefix=/ECommerce/bin/apache/1.3.22'
'--with-oci8=/opt/apps/oracle/8.1.7'
'--with-apxs=/ECommerce/bin/apache/1.3.22/bin/apxs'
'--without-mysql' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local'
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local'
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local'
'--enable-ftp'
'--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local/lib'
'--with-t1lib=/usr/local'
'--with-ttf=/usr/local'
'--with-gd=/usr/local'
phpinfo() says that GD support is enabled, Freetype support is enabled and
has
freetype linkage, t1lib, jpeg, png and wbmp supports are all enabled. In
short, the installation
looks successful.
Unfortunately, the developers cannot get the freetype functionality. If no
font is specified, then
the system chooses its own font which is then displayed. However, if a font
like arial is
explicitly named, then the fonts are not visible.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what is going on?

I try to give it a value with a var, but it doesn't work.
The code is something like this.
$y=str_pad($y,5,".txt"); \\ To give it a filename from a var that contains
only 1 number (with 1 digit)
If in this step I do a "echo $y, it shows the correct string. Suposing it is
2, it shows 2.txt
$temp[]=file($y); \\ To load the file into the array.
But after the file nothing happens, the array only contains "Array".
Sorry for my bad english.

When you attempt to print or echo an array the result is simply "array".
You have to iterate through the elements of the array to see what each
element contains. Read the array chapter in the manual for more
information.

-------------------
file() returns an array! So, you ended up with an array ($temp) with element
0 an array (returned from file() ). Read the manual very carefully ...
You probably meant to say
$temp=file($y); // To load the file into the array.
(watch those '//'s, too!)

First, make sure $item[$index] has anything in it by inserting an
echo $item[$index].
You also have to prepend item_number with the table name as in ar.item_number.
Try single quotes around $item[$index], too.
If $index is a name, I've had trouble in the past getting associative
arrays to resolve correctly inside strings. Try using this ...
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ar
LEFT JOIN company on ar.company_id=company.company_id
LEFT JOIN scale on ar.scale_id=scale.scale_id
WHERE ar.item_number = '".$item[$index]."')";

If you are just starting into PHP, try some something more basic. If you
have some background into another language such as PERL, then you shouldn't
have too much trouble. However, if you insist to taking on a bulletin board
script for analyzing purposes, head over to hotscripts.com where I'm sure
there is a few tutorials and many boards from the simplistic recursive
wwwthreads style boards to the vertical setup like infopop and UBB.
I've coded up BlazeBoard script last year and I must say, that majority of
the work is getting the cool features rather than developing a foundation of
the board. All a board does is input/output data from the database. So first
step to take would be developing a core registration module, then utilizing
it, authenticate the user so they can post to a forum, then build the module
to retrieve the data.
Of course there are other factors to consider on the complexity of the
board, that is if you want to consider the ability to create more than one
board for a forum or be able to categorize it. These are really features,
and doesn't represent the core system of any board.

Hi guys,
I want to write a script that inputs a file variable then it sends out a RealMedia

EG:
If I click on http://www.randumian.co.uk/getsample.php?file=1234.rm, it should send
the headers so that the computer thinks its a .rpm file then send me to
http://www.randumian.co.uk/realaudio/1234.rm.

Yes, I have PHP running just fine under 7.2 (source compile).
PHP doesn't care one whit about your browser; however, Netscape is picky
(as it should be) about end tags. The most common problem when pages display
under IE but not under Netscape is the lask of a </table> or </tr> tag.

Hi all,
Has anyone seen this. I have a login form (login.htm) which calls a login
handler (check_login.php). If the login is sucessfull the check_login.php
will set a couple session variables, then redirect the user to a menu page.
The problem I am seeing is that when I call session_start() from the menu
page, I get a new session reference rather than a reference to the session
I started in the check_login.php. Is there a setting in the php.ini I
should change?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

If you redirect using the full (http://foo.bar/rex...) URL, it may be
restarting your session. Try using relative URLs.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for you replies. I was using relative paths and still I got the
seperate sessions being opened. The interesting part was this was only
happening on my dev machine (win32), when I moved the files to a Linux box,
I did not have the same problem. Must be something in the IIS or PHP.INI
on the dev box I guess.

It is difficult to know where your problem is without more information.
It would appear that your jpeg file is not valid. Try another .jpg file.

I have a file called sessionvars.php that I require() as the very first
thing on all my pages, it has
session_register("blah"...) and about 40 or 50 variable names after that.
sometimes I am seeing behavior where a form on one page that references a
session variable doesn't carry over the change to the next page. in other
words, i filled in a username in a form on page 1, hit submit, got to page 2
and it was remembered. but now i go back to page 1, change the value in the
form, and when i get to page 2 it has the old value, not the new value!
i have the following options in my apache config:
php_value session.save_path "/home/phpsession/"
php_value session.name "EINFO"
php_value session.cookie_lifetime 2592000
php_flag register_globals on
what do i have to do to get the changes to propagate through??

i just figured this out from reading the user comments at php.net. form
posted variables don't automatically override session vars.
so i added a loop at the top of each page which overwrites all session vars
from posted form vars. unfortunately if you go straight to one of the
middle pages (this is a 6 page form) you wind up wiping out whatever is
recorded on that page. i'll figure out something.... i hope...

It appears that this is forbidden ...
From mysql.com:
The target table of the INSERT statement cannot appear in the FROM
clause of the SELECT part of the query because it's forbidden in ANSI
SQL to SELECT from the same table into which you are inserting. (The
problem is that the SELECT possibly would find records that were
inserted earlier during the same run. When using sub-select clauses,
the situation could easily be very confusing!)

Well, I skiped this manual part :-)
Maybe the simple select and insert is the simplest form.

Hello,
I have a VB program which can download files from a web-site. The webserver
is running Apache where we use PHP scripting. That is all working OK.
Now I want to let certain people upload data from their PC's. I don't want
to use FTP, because I don't want to hand out password's (also not in the
code we are distributing). Anonymous FTP is not possible.
I can upload files to the site from a browser, but I would to make it (very)
easy for people to upload their data: a number of them are not very familiar
with computers.
I have seen (www.google.com) references to uploading from VB to IIS servers,
but how about to Apache/PHP? I've tried some examples with the MicroSoft
Internet Control and "executing" the POST command, but the file would not
be uploaded (the PHP script did not get it anyway).
Should it be possible?
If so, can somebody point in the right direction/example?
If not, could somebody please explain why not?
Thanks in advance for your help,
henk sandkuyl

I've done this successfully both with PHP and VB/ASP. I think PHP is
the easiest, but there are several things that could go wrong.
There is usually a 2MB limit to the file size and the safe mode
setting also affects the outcome.
On the HTML side, you must include ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data in
your <form> tag.
Once the file is uploaded (you can verify through phpinfo() command)
you have to move it someplace. This can be tricky depending on how
your server is set up. As a security, some servers do not allow
scripts to save files.
One solution is to have your script open an ftp socket and put the
file in the right place. This way, the script has the ftp password
which should be kept secret from the user.

I started writing a set of scripts that would send out mutiple emails to a
list of customers. I then realized that most likely this program, and/or
snipits had most likely already been written. If so, can some one point me
in the right direction and save me 3 or 4 days?
Thanks

Hi,
I wonder if someone could point out what is wrong with the following
piece of code (taken directly from the 'PHP - fast & easy web
development' book) , which gives the following warning :
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\cms\pick_modcontact.php on
line 23
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
$result = mysql_query($sql,$connection); <--line 23
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$fname = $row['fname'];
$lname = $row['lname'];
$option_block .= "<option value=\"$id\">$lname, $fname</option>";
}
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The mySQL query that is executed returns a result set when I use the
mySQL shell, and the connection string is valid. If someone could advise
me as to the error, I would greatly appreciate it.
- Best regards,
Lee

Is there a limit to the number of variables once can pass in a URL using urlencode()?
I seem to be hitting a wall where the browser returns a page not found once I go past
a limit and I can't find any bugs in the code.
Thanks,
Don

There is a limit to the size of a GET request - can't remember what it is
though
POST's can be any size however.
Maybe a search of the RFC's might tell you the limit of GET's

Hi,
My company is looking into using the Zend Encoder to enforce
licensing of some tools that I'm developing and I have a few
questions that I hope someone who's used it can answer:
1) I understand that when you encode your files, they will stop
working when the zend license expires. how easy is it to get them
working again after you renew? do the pages need to be re-encoded
from source?
2) Will files encoded on a windows machine run on linux with the zend
optimizer?
3) are there any known problems with certain php modules (ming, gd,
mcal)
4) are there competing products I should be looking at?
thanks,
- Mark

SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY series,price;

Subject: MySQL ORDER BY or PHP Sort?
I want to select about 25 rows from a table, and sort them by two
criteria. First, by each row's Series field ("Baby", "Genesis", "Super",
"Predator", "Millennium" are the various Series, and the order I'd like
the rows in the array). Within each Series, I'd like the rows sorted by
their Price field, ascending. For example:
Baby $5
Baby $10
Baby $15
Genesis $20
Genesis $35
Genesis $50
...and so on.
Now, I know how to structure my MySQL Select statment such that the rows
it pulls from the table will be either sorted by Price OR by Series, but
not both, in the way I'd like. Does anyone know if it's possibly to do
this in the Select statement itself? (I'd rather do it that way, than
resort in PHP.)
Thanks!
...Rene
