RE: [PHP] 2 newbie questions ;)
1. This should work (notice quotes around var) : INPUT TYPE=text NAME=whatever VALUE=?php echo $var; ? This is incorrect (it only shows the first word) : INPUT TYPE=text NAME=whatever VALUE=?php echo $var; ? 2. not sure about the second question but have you tried removing the target, it seems to me that a target might not be necessary since the link should already be opening an application that is associated with that file type.

Also I have an anchor tag that is a link to open an Access db. For some reason it opens 2 copies instead of one. i have tried the following: a href=..\foldername\microsoft_sucks.mde target=_blankLaunch App/a and a href=file://server/path/ms_sucks.mde target=_blankLaunch App/a but it seems to want to open two copies anyhow, anyone seen this before?

RE: [PHP] 2 NEWBIE QUESTIONS
1) Is there any PHP command that'll convert a MySQL database
timestamp into a format that humans can read?!! For example, I want to
change 20010822001245 into 00:12.45 on the 22-08-2001?
?
function dateMysqlToUnix($mysqltime)
{
$stamp = ereg_replace([^0-9], , $mysqltime);
$year = substr($stamp, 0, 4);
$month = substr($stamp, 4, 2);
$day = substr($stamp, 6, 2);
$hour = substr($stamp, 8, 2);
$min = substr($stamp, 10, 2);
$sec = substr($stamp, 12, 2);
$unix = mktime($hour, $min, $sec, $month, $day, $year);
//echo Unix timestamp: $unixBR\n;
return $unix;
}
?
You could add a $dateformat input variable, and execute Date()
inside that function using it ... but I'll leave that one up to
you. This will change it into a unix timestamp acceptable to
the date() function.
2) This is the hard question. I have a script that gets values from a
database and then includes a php page which contains echo $variable code
to get the values from the database onto the page.
What I want to do is have the PHP page code in the main script instead of
being included externally. So i tried putting the code into a variable and
then including, but it didnt work. Then I tried echoing the variable but
the
PHP code isnt executed.
If you dont fully understand my question, mail me. I'm really stuck and
NEEDD HELP!!!
It sounds like you might be coming at this one from an odd approach...
for one, include()'ing a file doesn't execute it externally, and it's
probably the best way to do what I think you're trying to do, since you
can then change the one include()'d file in order to change all your
page layouts...

1) strftime(%T on the %D, strtotime($yourdate)); Should produce: 00:12:45 on the 08-22-2001 You can check the manual page for strftime() to see different ways to format the time to your liking: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php 2) The way you're trying to do that sounds a bit unnecessary, but take a look at eval() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php -Original Message- From: Georgie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 7:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] 2 NEWBIE QUESTIONS 1) Is there any PHP command that'll convert a MySQL database timestamp into a format that humans can read?!!
