What's the difference between:
if($var)
and
if(isset($var))
First is checking if $var is true (1, true, has value) or false (0,
false, null, not set, etc.). Second is checking if $var has been
defined, regardless of value. Depending on your error reporting level,
the first one will throw a notice if $var has not been defined.

I didn't see this in any of the responses, and truthfully it's not the
best way or most secure.. .basically it has a lot of flaws that you
should watch out for (probably creates security issues more than any
other thing) but another option for mass setting variables that are
possible set or not is to use extract()
Extract() will take all the array items and assign the values to the
keys:
$_POST['courses_list'] = 'Used';
Extract($_POST);
Becomes...
$courses_list == 'Used'
But if $_POST['courses_list'] isn't set, then you get no $courses_set
variable.
If you do end up using this, pay attention to variables that you havn't
used yet that might be used later on. If a variable isn't set, in this
case, if $courses_list isn't set, then extract() will put the value of
$_POST['courses_list'] into $courses_list. If it IS set, and you use
one of the extract() parameters, you can make it NOT overwrite the
current $courses_list. Which may be a good idea to prevent someone from
over-writing one of your security related variables.
I only mention this because I think it can be very useful. I wouldn't
be as concerned with $_POST variables as I would with $_GET variables.
You don't want to make it so someone can go:
Yourscript.php?userauthneticated=1
Then do:
Extract($_GET);
Then you have...
$userauthenticated == 1
If you then have something like:
If ($userauthenticated) {
# Some code that allows user to edit or view personal stuff,
demographics, passwords
# etc... Or even make changes to a database or other security
related stuff
}
That would be bad.
You may still end up having to do a isset($courses_list) to decide what
to do with the info later, but if you end up with 100 $_POST variables,
then extract() might help break those out for ya.

This is probably more of a straight HTML/JS/something question.
Do you happen to be using any kind of javascript or vbscript in your
source that does any kind of "application.caption" or "window.title" or
anything like that?
I've used "Application.Caption" in VBA within Excel to update the title
of a window so I could get a quick and dirty status of something being
processed and I've seen odd things happen with that.
If your <title></title> HTML tag looks ok, I'd try to look into any
application. Or window. Stuff in Javascript or VBScript or some other
browser based scripting stuff.
Good luck!

It is actually a known bug in Flash with IE
If you go here:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/#globalnav
you'll get #globalnav in the title 3 times as there are 3 flash players in
the page!
We are actually now not using anchors (I wasn't too happy about them anyway)
so no longer have the problem.
Thanks for the reply though.

Hi,
Our website uses mcrypt functions to encrypt and decrypt passwords
stored in the PostgreSQL database. The website encrypted/decrypted
passwords flawlessly under PHP 4.0.4, however, we recently upgraded the
server that the website is stored on to PHP 4.2.3.
Since then, each time a password is encrypted/decrypted using any of the
mcrypt-functions, the following error displays even though the code was
untouched:
Fatal error: generic_init failed in
/home/httpd/html/domainsunderdevelop/include/class.databaseconnection.php on
line 498
Line 498 on class.databaseconnection.php is:
$NewString = mcrypt_cbc( $this->CIPHER, $this->KEY, $RawString, $Mode,
$iv );
We installed libmcrypt 2.4.9 after upgrading PHP to 4.2.3.
If you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Adelaide

First -- thank you for reading my post.
I am using the general strategy suggested by Jay (thanks, Jay) to process my
form in another procedure. It's listed below. In my processStuff.php
program, I use the following code:
$attributes = array();
$attributes = array_merge($attributes,$HTTP_POST_VARS, $HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($attributes, EXTR_PREFIX_SAME, "this");
I want to load my numerous post variables into regular memory variables (or
whatever the php nomenclature is) -- e.g. $_POST['action'] becomes $action.
It doesn't seem to working according to the manual. I list my
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS, there are none.
I would appreciate anyone taking the time to explain to me how this works.
Either it's stupid or I'm stupid. I'm figuring it's me.
Monique.
<form method="post" name="form1" action="processStuff.php">

switch ($_POST['action']){

To turn $_POST["var1"], $_POST["var2"], $_POST["var3"] into $var1, $var2,
$var3:
if(isset($_POST))
{ foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
{ $$key= $value; print("$$key= $value; <br />"); }}
This should do it. The print statement is just to check the result.

don't use HTTP_POST_VARS, and the likes, instead use $_POST, $_GET, etc.
To do what you want, the easiest way would be to turn On the
register_globals setting.

Hey everyone, I'm having issues with a couple of forms that exist on one
page. Basically what I'm trying to do is the following:
Select a client from a dropdown select box(submit inner form). Based on
that, another select menu appears that retrieves a list of projects based on
the client selected. Then you choose a file and upload it(submit the outer
form) which uploads the file and adds the file entry under the client
project table selected in the 2nd dropdown.
The problem is that the outer form works fine, but the inner form that
dynamically retrieves the client project list doesn't refresh the page or
post so the project list never shows up. I've listed some code below.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Adil.
<?php
echo "<form name=\"mainform\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\"
method=\"post\"><table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"

Looks like your javascript is messed up somehow, is that all of it?

You might check out PHP's heredoc syntax of you plan to echo all your
html like that.
<?php
echo <<<EOF
<form method="post" action="$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]">
<input type="text" name="field">
<input type="button" name="submit">
</form>
EOF;
?>
Nice and clean, no escaping required, variables parse, all that..

How can I stick phpinfo() at the bottom of a page in such a way that
it doesn't display the data in the page, but instead creates a log file
and dumps everything in there) The log file should either be appended
to every time, or if not, a unique one created every time (one per
transaction.) Is this even possible?

Of course it's possible. Just fopen() a file at the end of the script, capture
phpinfo() output with an output buffer (ob_start(), etc) and write it to the
file. I can imagine the file getting very large very quick, though.
Alternatively, you could put
echo '<!-- ' . phpinfo() . '-->';
or
ob_start();
phpinfo();
$phpinfo = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo "<!-- $phpinfo -->";
(from memory, so functions might be slightly different)...

Yup...on my test server here the HTML output of phpinfo() is 40Kb. The text
version is 15Kb. Depending on how many hits per day a site gets that can
add up fast.
Not only that, but also assuming a web server is involved there could easily
be many concurrent slave processes active. Therefore if the file's
integrity is to be maintained (assuming a single file) then flock() should
be used.
Alternatively, assuming Apache, one file per request could be created. If
mod_unique_id is installed/active then $_SERVER['UNIQUE_ID'] will be
available and could be used as the filename, or the basis for the filename.
Of course I'm not sure I see the point of saving phpinfo() for each
request...a large portion of it will be identical for every request. Those
portions that differ from request to request can be logged more efficiently
in other ways...for example, dumping the contents of $_SERVER. Of course,
much of that information can be gleaned from the Apache logs...

Hi,
I have tested this with file no space on its filename
