You may want to try this forms generation class that comes with a
plug-in to link 2 or more select inputs . There are variants of that
plug-in can retrieve new options from a database on the server. Most
popular databases are supported, including MS-SQL server, with the
variants that use the Metabase or PEAR::MDB2 database API.

http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration

Here is a live example of the linked select plug-in:

Here you may watch a tutorial video also about this plug-in:

Sure, but it also adds overhead when replying to HTTP requests. There

No, I did not say that. "AJAX" requests using this approach are
triggered on demand. For PHP is like any other request. Executing an
AJAx request this way or a regular request submiting a form or following
a link consumes just one process.

Maybe you are talking about some other Comet approach. Last time I tried
the approach that I described with Safari, I did not see any delay due
to buffering. But if there is any delay imposed by any browsers, it
would not be hard to add any padding.

The approche described above does not render anything nor uses
XMLHTTPRequests. It is just a regular page with some Javascript loaded
in an hidden iframe. That Javascript communicates and updates with the
iframe parent page.

Hey everyone,

A bit of a puzzle here, dont know if this is a JS problem or PHP or FF or ....

(My money is on the last one :p )


Here's what I am trying to do:
In a form  I have a listbox with the values 1-5, and under the listbox i have a <TD> with the id of 
"recips" (like so: <TD id='recips">


<snip>

Hi
Probably just a typo in your original message, but your TD above has an id which opens with ' and closes with ". I know I have done this before! ;). It does also sound like a possible 'wellformedness' issue as you have different results from IE and Fx. 

Good luck, David

On windows it's as easy as downloading the dll from pecl4win.php.net.

But from your directory structure i presume you have some sort of *nix system.
So you have to reconfigure and rebuild PHP. Add the following to the configure line. And rebuild PHP after that. Make sure GD is installed on the system. 

--with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir

Ouch... first try installing the php gd module through whatever
package manager your *nix distribution uses. For instance, on Ubuntu
linux you'd do:

sudo aptitude install php5-gd

Making sure GD is installed on the system is a very sensible thing to do.

The "ouch" was aimed at the suggestion that if you're on a *nix
system, the course of action is to recompile php. Normally these days
you'd just install the gd module (the equivalent of your windows dll)
through your package manager.

    First, this is a server to which you have root access, correct?
You won't be able to install it otherwise, such as if you're on a
shared web host.

    Secondly, what *NIX are you using?  It looks to me like a
BSD-style system.... maybe MacOS?

Hi,

I need to do a little CMS for managing Newsletter for 1 of my customers.
as i never worked on such thing in the past, i would be glad to have your
feedback.

basically, web site users are registered into DB.
my customer would like to send them a newsletter to promote new products and
services.
this newsletter should be in HTML format and send 1 by 1 to each customer.

where can i find information or template how to develop such managing tool
for newsletter ?
i mean online, customer will create his newsletter layout and add images,
links, text, and so on...

to what should i pay attention ?

thanks a lot,

Hi,
Not to disturb your agreement with your customer, but sending out newsletters is a difficult business.
If your customer sends out these newsletters from his own mailserver, chances are that his mailserver becomes blacklisted. Even if the messages are legit, some people think otherwise.
The result of this is, that his whole domain becomes blocked, so his business can't send normal e-mail from this domain anymore to people who use blacklists.
This has nothing to do with your question about programming it in PHP etc., but I do want you to notice these impacts.
On the PHP/HTML part, make your layout as strict as possible. Every e-mail client parses the HTML differently and Outlook 2007 even went back to Word HTML compatibility which is a pain in the bottom to get it right.
Building good, solid templates for newsletters is not something I would like to build for any customer.

Hi all

First post to this list! I'm trying to figure out how to evaluate a
string with a mathematical expression and get a result, but without
using eval() as I'm accepting user input into the string. I don't just
want addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - I'd like to
take advantage of other functions like ceil, floor etc. 

So the string "18-10" should give me 8, "ceil(1/2)*10" should be 10 (if
my maths is correct) and the string "18-10;\r\nunlink('/var/www/*');"
should not execute.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Jason

If you can provide your users with distinct inputs (if it's a form) go that route.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. The equation sits in a DB and can be
anything - eg. ((([valuation]/[purchaseprice])/100)*100)/[numyears]
would be a typical field. [valuation], [purchaseprice] and [numyears]
gets replaced by relevant fields from user-entered data. But the system
is expandable which means I don't know what the equations, data or
fields are going to be beforehand. 

I'm working on some kinda preg_replace function to sanitize the data at
the moment and then run an eval - arg I hate regexp! Ideally eval would
have some kind of sandboxing option, or you could limit the functions
available in an eval.

In reply to my own question, I came up with the following function based
on a comment on php.net
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php#71045). I had a look at
the array returned by get_defined_functions() and the maths functions
seem mostly to be grouped (with the exception of the random number
stuff). It works on my installation but there's nothing in the
documentation about get_defined_functions() returning in a particular
order - it would be safer to list each math function but I'm lazy.

protected function safe_eval($s) {
        $funcs=get_defined_functions();
        $funcs=$funcs["internal"];
        $funcs=array_slice($funcs,array_search("abs",
$funcs),array_search("rad2deg",$funcs)-array_search("abs",$funcs));
        $sfuncs="(".implode(")(",$funcs).")";
        $s=preg_replace('`([^+\-*=/\(\)\d\^<>&|\.'.$sfuncs.']*)`','',$s);
        if (empty($s)) {
                return 0;
        } else {
                try {
                        eval("\$s=$s;");
                        return $s;
                } catch(Exception $e) {
                        return 0;
                }
        }
}

$purchaseprice  = $_GET['purchaseprice'];
$numyears       = $_GET['numyears'];

if ( is_numeric( $valuation ) &&
     is_numeric( $purchaseprice ) &&
     is_numeric( $numyears ) ) {

        $eq = str_replace('[valuation]',        $valuation,     $eq);
        $eq = str_replace('[purchaseprice]',    $purchaseprice, $eq);
        $eq = str_replace('[numyears]',         $numyears,      $eq);

        $result = eval("return {$eq};");
        
        echo $result;

} else {
        echo 'Something failed the number test!';
}

?>

Anyone have suggestions on tests that is_numeric() might not catch?

No they will not, you may upload your application. They have created a very nice system, but there are some restrictions because of security Bigtable and GFS. But your application can scale without investing in expensive servers and management. The only think you have to do is building your software, Google wil run it on there enormously platform.

Tina,
 
Is there any error message in php logs?
 
Can you reproduce manually what you're trying to do with PHP? I mean,
connect and put that file.
 
Enable E_ALL in PHP and try again.
 
I'm copying PHP-GENERAL mailing list as this is not related to PHP-INSTALL
issues.

}

Would you let me know what causes this problem?

There could be any number of things wrong, so follow the advice to turn on error reporting. Most likely: 

1. Your connection is not valid
2. You didn't login ftp_login() or it failed
3. The local file can't be found
4. The remote dir can't be found or the connected user doesn't have permission to write to it 5. If going through a firewall or for other reasons, you most likely need ftp_pasv()

php -l indicates only that php is working on the cli.
what are the contents of index.php; i recommend a page as follows
<?php
die(phpinfo());
?>

if the page prompts you to download something then php isnt installed, or at
least the webserver isnt configured to run it, but if you see a bunch of
stuff similar to the cli output of php -i, ur in good shape :)

If you actually followed Osborn's Brainstorming technique then you should be able to develop a pretty cool real-time think tank where developers work in a sort of chat room but with a place to post common code, with markup, share a virtual whiteboard, etc. 

Could be cool.

   Oh, what you're looking for is a think tank.  I'd been trying to
find people in my area to get together and do the same thing.  No such
luck around here, but you may have luck in your local area.  Working
offline with people, when you can bounce ideas off of one-another
while doing something else, gets the creative juices flowing more,
because you're not focused on saying, "okay, we need to come up with
an idea."
