Hello friends,
I have a registration form with a salutation field in a listbox, in which I
want that the registrant must choose a value other than the default value of
"please select". So I wrote :
If ((!$salutation="Please select")....
Print ("Sorry, please select a value in the salutation box");
However, it does not work. Can someone please help?

Hi
You need to use the double = in the if condition like
If ((!$salutation=="Please select")....
Print ("Sorry, please select a value in the salutation box");

Hi again
You can also write it as:
If (($salutation != "Please select")....
Print ("Sorry, please select a value in the salutation box");

Also the logic seems to be wrong, shouldn't it be:
if (($salutation == "Please select") {
print ("Sorry, please select a value in the salutation box"); }
else {
...

Hello Jason.
You are right, but it still does not work.
Could it be a trim word problem?
Thanks

Why don't you print out $salutation and see what you're getting?

Thanks Gentlemen.
After many experiments, I found the answer. It should be "= =" and not "=".

Hello there,
I'm seriously researching some aspects of writing a content management
system that would be 'relatively' easy to extend.
My biggest problem is the ground level -- how should the central system
(that registers modules) work? Ideally, it should be possible to easily
extended the system -- running the install.php file (or something
similar) will tell (insert new database rows or will add new rows to the
configuration file) the central module that a new module was just added
and also gives instructions, how to use it, with which other modules it
integrates and where the new files are.
The basic idea is that modifications to existing files (modules)
shouldn't be made (except the central module, which handles all others).
Each module should be totally *independent*, but should still integrate
with the rest of the modules (when marked as possible in the database).
What I mean by 'integrate' is the following: there are two modules, for
example, "image gallery" and "articles". Both of them should appear in
"What's new" part (when the appropriate checkbox will be checked). Also,
it would be nice when one could choose the option "Publish to articles"
when inserting a new image gallery (a client event for example -- story
in pictures). Yes, that's a simplified example.
So, the problem is that there might only be the "article" module at
first. Later, the "articles" and "What's new" module will be added and
all three of them should now work together. I hope you catch my drift.
I have quite a few ideas, but I'm sure that our team is just
re-inventing the wheel. What are your experiences? Are there any good
books on the subject of creating an extendable content management system
(preferably from the coders point of view, but not language-specific).
Thanks,
Lauri

Hi!
I have tried to make a complete modular php cms system. The hardest part
was not selecting which modules to load, but their presentation. I don't
know if what I did was good enough, i.e: the best implementatin, but
somewhat was working.
What I did was basically query a Mysql table, selecting rows with this
information:
area_id
area_style
area_modules
"area" was a part of a what I called in my system "canvas". A canvas is
the page, and each "area" was the position of the module in the screen. So:
area_id = 1
area_style = '<div style="width:25%;float:left;border:1px black solid;">'
area_modules = "system/articles/[module]system/stats/[module]user/forum/"
So I would do:
while(list($idarea,$area_style,$area_modules) = $area_sql_result()) {
?><div style="<?php echo $area_style; ?>">
<?php
$area_modules = explode('[module]',$area_modules);
foreach($area_modules as $module_path) {
require_once ($module_path);
}
?> </div>
<?php
}
Indeed, you can see the performance is not very good. A require inside a
foreach, inside a while? But still, it was very easy to manage. A new module
would require you to upload the file, and modify "area_modules".
After this stage, I was stuck at the "canvas/area" concept. I simply did
not managed to make a good way to let the module know where it should appear
on the page.
But, I guess you are indeed trying to reinvent the wheel, like I was ;-)
I would recommend that you look at "PostNuke", a php script that I heard
was trying to accomplish a more modular design. Maybe they have succeed, I
don't know (been a while since I have looked).
And if you want serious a serious cms, have a look at "Zope", written in
Python. They at least have a large documentation, including for developers.
Maybe in there you can gently 'steal' good programming ideas :-D

I think you're attacking the wrong problem first, especially
coming up with a system which defines what modules something else can
'integrate' with. If your modules are designed as essentially
standalone pieces of code, any of them should be able to 'integrate'
(or, perhaps a better term, interoperate) with each other with little
pain, even if it's not what was originally designed for one or more of
the pieces of code in question.
You'd do better to focus on a common i/o system which the core system
uses to talk to each module.

You need to better define a module, I guess. I our case (with
http://www.logicreate.com) a 'module' is a separate section of code
pieces. Sometimes as little as two (one logic/one display) and
sometimes many more). Our 'forum' system, for example, has I believe 8
files. Your requirement about *never* changing any files is, imo,
impossible. *something* will always need to be changed for various
implementations, even if it's just one visual change someone wants.

You could possibly look at phpgroupware.org to see how they implement
the 'addition' of modules (different from how we handle it, but perhaps
a bit more in line with what you're describing)

Check all your include() files as well for any stray space.

make sure that this script is not insterted into an html document but
it's a stand alone page eg. checkstudent.php. When the student submits
their number your form should bring them here (<form
action="checkstudent.php" method="post">) and the page will do its job.
Make sure however that there is no output (don't print to screen) on that
page except error messages in your if statements or you will get errors.

There are a couple of settings in php.ini you could look at:
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
Have you tried varying size attachments to see at what point the attachments
become truncated?

They actually vary as to where they become truncated - some are at 633
bytes, some are at 1kb. The odd thing is that the PHP script I'm using to
process the form actually pics up the correct filesize, it reports it to me
under a $filesize variable I've setup. It'll report, say file2_filesize...:
69147 but the actual attachment is 1kb.
Like I said, I have this same problem using both Perl scripts and PHP
scripts. In php.ini my post_max size is 8M and upload_max_filesize is 2M.
Looking through the Apache mailing list archives, it looks like others
running Apache on win32 have experienced the same problems, but there are no
answers. I'm a little stumped myself!
I've found that even PHP upload scripts I've gotten from hotscripts.com
don't execute correctly either. A bit discouraging, as this problem is
seriously affecting a website I was hoping to have completed this weekend.
Thanks for your help,
Jason

There are a couple of settings in php.ini you could look at:
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
Have you tried varying size attachments to see at what point the attachments
become truncated?

I have done MySQL (MyISAM, INNODB), PostgreSQL and Oracle 9i with AdoDB -
see http://iptrack.sourceforge.net. Works just fine for me. The hardest
part was to get around limitations of certain databases - like Oracle
does no support record count. This is not impossible to get around, but
when you are used to making use of these standard features of other
databases, it takes a bit of getting used to. Other issues are syntax
issues - you cannot use any funky functions which are unique to your dbf.
Also, you must write very standard SQL - no shortcuts. For example, with
Oracle you MUST specify the table name throughout your query when doing
joins, even if the column is unambiguos.

Thanks Richard, just starting out but keeping portability in the back of my
mind. I've been keeping the sql statements standard and doing everything
through php so I don't get caught when moving to another database.

Don't even try to use it. It's a obsolete feature.
use show_source() instead. It always works.

If your browser is trying to download the file it's because the web server
isn't configured to recognize the file type. In your httpd.conf file you
should have a line similar to the following:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
In order to do what you are wanting, you also need a line similar to the
following:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
That alone won't finish the job. You also have to make a copy of the .php
file with a .phps extension. Or, of you are on Linux, you can simply do an
'ln -s original.php original.phps' and use the .phps link to display the
source.
This is the way apache does it. You can also do the same thing manually in a
php script using highlight_file() or as already mentioned, the show_source()
command which is just an alias for highlight_file(). Either way will produce
the same results since Apache simply send the command through mod_php. This
is really more of an apache question involving php.

This sounds interesting... I am not familiar enought with PHP-GTK to give an
informed opinion. I think your decision should be based on how familiar
with the tools you take into the contest. Since you are not face with a
lot of time, will your competition be using Visual IDEs to aid the rapid
development?
You may wnat to post to one of the php-gtk-* lists. They may be able to
address your needs in more detail.
Good luck!!
If you choose to use PHP, please post the results of the contest to the

You have to SELECT that user from the table you store your users:
SELECT userid, name , etc FROM table WHERE userid='$your_id'
if *_num_rows() > 0 then he is already in, otherwise you can add him:
INSERT ..... INTO table ....
Enjoy!

Say you're using MySQL...
$userid = 'bob';
$sql = "select userid from user where userid='$userid'";
$st = mysql_query($sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($st))
{
print "<p>UserID <b>$userid</b> already in use.</p>";
}
else
{
print '<p>Now adding you to the database...</p>';
// ...

AFAIK there are no built-in functions to do that. You need to run a query
like "SELECT userid FROM table" then see whether any rows are returned. If
you use this often you can wrap it up in a function.

That of course should be:
"SELECT userid FROM table WHERE userid='user_id_to_check'"

I need to create a simple app that works like a radio repeater, in that is
simply passes information it receives through to another script, in both
directions.
In other words, a remote application located at www.domain.com/app.php
accepts variable1, variable2, and variable3, and returns a response based on
that information.
I want to put a "repeater app" in the middle of the browser and the url
above, so information is passed to www.mydomain.com/process.php, and is not
changed at all, but is sent to www.domain.com/app.php, and the response from
www.domain.com/app.php is sent back to www.mydomain.com/process.php, so the
results of sending the same information to either url will be exactly the
same.
I'm not trying to do packet sniffing or anything, just trying to "mask" a
url. It would be nice if I could pass cookies through as well.
Any help, resources, ideas, etc appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi to all!!!
Can anyone tell me how to debug in PHP?
When I use ASP simply I write "stop" (VB) or "debugger" (JSCRIPT) to set a
breakpoint and open the Microsoft Script Debugger.
With PHP I can't find a way to do a similar thing.
I downloaded the DBG PHP debugger but I don't understand how to use it like
MSD.
My config is:
PHP 4.1.2 + IIS5 + WinXPpro
I'm bored to use echo "$something" for debug :-(
Thanks in advance for your help,
Evan

I´m not shure, but ZEND offers some kind of IDE and nusphere has an IDE
which has a debugger built in , but who needs this??
Use an editor with macro functionality so u can set a macro which makes
something like if($debug){ echo something}, then you can set one var
to turn debugging on/off.
Are you shure you need PHP for your problems? Seems that you´re lucky
with M$ and their ek$pen$ive environments.

Hi,
I'm new to php, I want to do the foll: in my code:
display an array of names to the user,
up, down, top and bottom buttons are provided so that the user can change
the order of the names (e.g. if original array: "a, b, c, d, e and user
selects e and presses top array should become e, a, b.....
I am able to achieve this functionality however since the whole script is
executed each time the array gets redefined after each button press thus
it remains a, b, c,d ...
Finally I've a submit button, if this is pressed user should be able to go
back and do whatever he was doing with the names.
my code looks like this:
define array
html for presentation (form which goes to function changelayerorder())
function changelayerorder (this func. detects which button and name was
selected and changes order)
I tried a while loop (while submit button not pressed) {do ...}
but it results in the page never being able to load.
CAN ANYONE ADVISE ME HOW TO AVOID REDEFINING THE ARRAY. THANKS,
-Pushkar S. Pradhan

Just think, you send the page to the clients browser, you (PHP) don´t have
control
what happens on the clients side!
Maybe you can split the functionality in separate, so if the client sends
some vars,
only a part depending on if, else or switch is done by php.
Or (as last option) use JavaScript, which is client side but not always
available.
Best is to redesign your software, pages to avoid such conflicts.
And, if you want to include all users just use html-code wich will work on
most browsers.

Hello,
I have trouble unseting the values of $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW. I use
the WWW-Authenticate via header() to authorize the user when accessing the

remain and the user isn't asked again to authorize till a new browser window

Unfortunately I can't find my notes so I can't give you an exact
answer....however if I remember correctly by sending a 401 error header to
the user when they log out it will force the browser to re-request
authentication

Hi list!
I have maybe an easy to solve problem, but I haven't come with a logical
way to do it. I am builing a discussion site (a la Kuro5hin.org), and
there's a sql query to retrieve comments attached to an article. It grabs
their titles, along with some more informatio. What I want is to display the
comments and the replies below them. It's been implemented in thousands of
other scripts, but I can't figure out how to do with only one sql query
(even if it uses Joins). That's important, since I expect the site to be
very popular here in Brazil (let's hope!)
So, any advices about how to display the comments like this:
- Comment 1
- Comment 2
- Comment 3
Is greatly appreciated. I am thinking about storing all comments in an
array and construct the layout from there. But still, I don't know if it's
the best choice in performance terms.
Thanks,
