It's very simple. It uses the same day-of-the-month you start from: 1st gets
you the 1st; 15th gets you the 15th; 31st gets you 31st or equivalent). Put
another way, "+1 month" adds as many days as there are days in the starting
month; "+2 months" adds as many days as there are in the starting month and the
one after (starting in Jan: 31+28 = 59 -- but starting in, say, Jul: 31+31 =
62); and so on.
Most of the time this gives you exactly what you want -- it's only when you ask
starting from the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, and the destination month is
shorter, that it causes any kind of problem. Since this is a very small,
well-defined range of dates, it's fairly simple to deal with it -- once you
know you need to!!
Cheers!

No need to mess about with the complications of DOM and getElementById -- it's
much more backward compatible for older browsers, as well, since that identity
has existed since day one of JavaScript.

Subject: [PHP] form variables issue
Hi folks,
I'm sure it is a very simple question for you but I'm getting almost crazy.
I've got a simple form with several form objects, one of them is a text
field. After submitting the form if one of the form objects hasn't been
modified I will show the same form but keeping the data previously
introduced. My problem is the text field, I can't show any special
characters again, even if there was any space only the first word is shown,
etc.
I've been playing with different function like urldecode, urlencode,
stripslashes, htmlspecialchars, etc. but couldn't show the same text.
Do you know how I can fix this?
Thanks a lot,
David.
Note that magic_quotes_gpc is enabled.

The first big problem is that you are outputting stuff like this:
<input name=foo value=this value has whitespace so is not a value />
instead of this:
<input name="foo" value="this value has whitespace but quotes matter" />
You should call http://php.net/htmlentities on the data right before
you print it into the HTML page.
<?php $value_html = htmlentities($value)?>
<input name="foo" value="<?php echo $value_html?>" />
> Note that magic_quotes_gpc is enabled.
In that case, you need to call http://php.net/stripslashes on the data
before you do anything with it, except to cram it into a database.
magic_quotes_gpc *ONLY* made sense in the context of the early days of
PHP when 99.9999999% of the data was just getting tossed into a MySQL
database and there were a lot less Bad Guys around -- when it was all
guestbooks and lovey-dovey surfers.
In today's world, Magic Quotes should probably just die...
It's a shame, in a way, in that Magic Quotes is a nice simple solution
to those simplistic applications that are just tossing data into a
database, and not doing much else. But PHP has grown up a lot since
then, and the world is a different place.

Subject: [PHP] image uploads
Hello,
Is there something special about php and images that nobody told me...
I'm writing a image gallery but I have run to serious trouble with it. I
have one page with form in it. Form's action is $PHP_SELF. In the form there
is just one file field called "image".
I test if there's users image to handle with if (isset($img))
if there's one. I greate two new images using
imagecreatefromjpeg()
imagecreatetruecolor()
imagecopyresampled()
in two different functions. At the end of both functions there's
imagedestroy($img). After that the both image information is stored to DB
and, if succeful, at the end I do unset($img) to clear the old image
variable from memory. Both new images are created OK and DB update works OK.
But nothing else doesn't work. I don't know what I have to do to prevent the
image from realoading to server second time if user hits browser refresh
button. The same image is uploaded every time the user hits refresh. Another
thing is that Opera stopped co-operation with this page once and for all. It
just freezes after the page call's itself. IE and Firefox doesn't.
I Really need some help
Thanks
-Will

Add the ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" to the FORM tag, if you don't
have it.

You mean isset($image), right?...
The name above is "image"...

Storing the image in the DB is probably not a Good Idea for a variety
of reasons.
There is a highly-optimized much more mature specialized database
specifically designed for large-file operations (LFO)...
It's called "the file system" :-)

OK...

You'd have to give us a lot more than "doesn't work"...
We've got nothing to work on here.

Well, yeah, if they upload the same image again, then you're going to
get it again.
If you don't want to allow that, then include a unique token
http://php.net/uniqid in the form you send them, and when they upload
the first image, mark that token as "used" and don't let them do it
again.
You could also do a binary-safe string comparison of the new image
with the images already in the database -- That would be slower, but
would dis-allow somebody from filling out the form again with a new
token and uploading the same image a second time.

Opera freezing up is probably a separate problem entirely. Ignore it
until you get the application working the way you want it to work.

The main reason I don't like storing the images in the DB is because
File system is much more fast then DB. FS and the web server know
How to cache images while using the DB makes you access the
DB for each and every picture.
It's also harder to maintain cause you don't have a physical file you can
Move from place to place or from dir to dir. Or just look at a bunch of
Random images like you would in a directory.
>From my point of view there has to be a very good reason to put images
Inside a DB instead of in the file system.

OK. I should have made such a search ;-)
So, it is possible... I'll try...
But, finally, I wonder if I shouldn't use XML files instead ?
Is it possible, directly, to make a SQL request on a XML file ?
In fact, I was looking for a file format which would be modifing on
Windows and on Linux. So, I thought about dbf. But now...
Thank you very much.
David.

David,
If I remember correctly, there are a lot of caveats surrounding .dbf files.
If it is data you have to manage, why not use MySQL / PostgresSQl / Firebird?

In fact, it is only for one table. And I'd like a simple thing. For my
data, I use Oracle !!!

How much data are you storing and how fast do you need it?
If you're doing heavy "database" type queries, then just use mySQL.
XML is kind of a PITA to use IMHO. You have to set up DOM Objects and all
this crap, then loop over nodes and use xpaths and watch out for #text
elements and it's just messy. I'm forced to use XML for part of a project @
work, and I'm always grateful when I can switch back to using a database and
SQL as God intended it to be. ;-p
However, if you're just storing some basic configs or preferences, then I
would suggest looking into a much simpler (and universal):

MySQL and PostgreSQL both work on Windows (and Linux, duh).
If you're starting a NEW database project, DBase is the LAST thing I'd
choose, unless there's some over-riding concern you've not yet
mentioned.
Actually, DBase doesn't even seem to use SQL, so I suppose your
question could have been: "Is there any way to tie standard SQL into
DBase, instead of using the normal PHP DBase extension?"...
I'm pretty sure both PostgreSQL and MySQL allow you to input/output
data as XML.
For sure, MySQL has a new Engine type where you can act upon a CSV
file using SQL which is the closest match to what you seem to be
aiming towards...
Though I still suspect your aim is bad, tell you the truth...

After reading more and more of this thread, I think you should also
consider this option:
http://www.php.net/sqllite
It lets you use SQL, and it stores the data in a local file, and it's
quite lightweight/cheap/easy.
Personally, though, I'd just toss the table in Oracle and use the
tools you already have, rather than maintain yet another paradigm
within the application...
YMMV

To be more clear, since obviously several other posters aren't aware
of it...
http://php.net/set_error_handler allows you to write a function to be
called when an error occurs and that function accepts optional
arguments of $file and $line which PHP will fill with the __FILE__ and
__LINE__ values of the offending code.
Which is precisely what you need.

Hi All,
I'm having an odd problem with formatting of line feeds in an email my
site automatically sends to me when someone comments on one of my blog
entries.
For some reason "\r\n" characters are coming through exactly like that
in the email, and yet the same value being stored in the backend MySQL
database seems to represent the carriage-return \ line-feed characters
as it should.
A typical example of the value when sent in the email would be:
Lol, hi Duncan.\r\n\r\nIt\'s possible that this post once had some comments. I
lost most of PT at one point when my host had a harddrive crash, and salvaged a
lot of entries from local copies on my computer, and notes I\'d scribbled in my
journals and so on.\r\n\r\nStill, it\'s great to see you commenting on the post
that made you a legend on PT!\r\n\r\nMuch warmth,\r\n\r\nMr Banderas
The odd thing is that the rest of the email is correctly interpreting
line-feed characters, it's only the value entered on the comment form
that represents CR \ LFs as normal characters.
I'm not sure if this is the culprit, but because my remote host for this
site has magic_quotes_gpc on, and my local setup doesn't, I run the
following function every time a page is requested where form processing
is performed:
function traverse ( &$arr )
{
if ( !is_array ( $arr ) )
return;
foreach ( $arr as $key => $val )
is_array ( $arr[$key] ) ? traverse ( $arr[$key] ) : (
$arr[$key] = stripslashes ( $arr[$key] ) );
}
Can anyone give me any thoughts on how to represent these CR \ LF
characters properly in the email?
Many thanks,
Murray

you probably have it surrounded in single quotes, PHP only converts \n
or \r\n when its enclosed within double quotes

Sounds like you're using data that's been escaped with something like
mysql_real_escape_string(). You want to do that when you're using it in
a MySQL query, not when you use it in an email.
Hope that helps.

I'm only 99% sure but I think in this line...
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()" >
..."node()" returns "CDATA" which drops
those unnessasary whitespaces and cr/lf's...

Hi all - does anyone know why, in certain cases, session variables are lost
from the $_SESSION superglobal array? I am writing a session-driven app and
for some reason the testing crew lose a certain variable while traversing
forms but I cannot replicate the situation myself. Any knowledge of this
will be appreciated!

Which php version and platform?

This behavior could happen if your team is using load-balancing on multiple
T-1s instead of a bonded connection. That would cause them to use different
IPs/connections, and would normally close the session.
That's a remote possibility, but that actually happened to me on one of our
projects.

I don't know diddly about gzip-encoding and browsers, but this line
looks pretty hinky to me...
> echo substr(gzcompress($Content,$level),2,-4);
I suspect it may also be that case that broken browsers are simply
lying about what kinds of compression they can handle...
Not much you can do about that...
I've got a real low trust factor in web browser software for some odd
reason... :-)

Not an XML expert, but...
I think wrapping everything in a CDATA should be pretty safe...
You could also base64_encode (or similar) everything before you put it
into the XML, and undo that at the other end, I suppose.
I've also found that different XML engines will choke on different
things -- Firefox will complain about XML that "works" in nusoap
and/or PHP5 SOAP.
XML usually turns out to be a lot more painful than it seems like it
should, for me at least, unless the original problem was so simplistic
and trival that XMl was overkill in the first place...
YMMV

I suppose if you want the code to run under PHP6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ... it
is somewhat forward-looking to the potential day when Test::Test()
might no longer work as the constructor...

I think the odds are pretty good against, but there's no guarantee of
uniqueness...
If you replace the usual 'file' session handler with 'user' you could
check for yourself easily enough, I should think...

I think your add-handler would only work for PHP as CGI...
The AddType directives are frequently encased in httpd.conf in blocks
something like:
<If mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</If>
That syntax is wrong, but you get the point -- If you've uncommented
the PHP4 Module, the mod_ph4.c (or whatever it is) needs to change to
5 as well, in the conditional expression that enables PHP4/PHP5.

Hi,
How can I run non-PHP code snippets from within PHP?
For example: Is it possible to include a C++ code snippet within PHP and
run it as it was a regular include?
I know there's a solution using exec() and such, but I want to run the
snippets like inline code.
-thanks, Eli
