I believe you are incorrect. Switch will look for the first case statement
that is true and execute that statement. The following works - case one is
incorrect so it doesn't get executed but the second case does. Paste this
into a test.php file and you will see it works.. Read the manual.
$a=2;
$b=4;
switch (true) {
case ($a < $b) and ($b > 5):
echo "Incorrect";
case ($a == 2):
echo "Correct";
}
So my original question is still stands. The switch statement is correct,
but there is a problem with my conditional statements.

Nowhere in the documentation does it specify switch should be used in the
context you are attempting.
The docs show a single variable and checking the case of that variable.
I'm not going to berate you on syntax. If you can get it working like that
then good for you. However, I would strongly advise you to use the
if/elseif/else statements instead.
an example of switch
$action = $_POST['action']
switch ($action)
{
case 'help': showHelp(); break;
default : showDefault();
}
not
$action = $_POST['action']
switch (true)
{
case ($action == 'help'): showHelp(); break;
default : showDefault();
}

Using switch would be more efficiant as it would stop once a match is made
(if you use break), but with eleif statements each one is evaluated in
order.
$chr = substr($a,$i,1);
switch (TRUE) {
case $chr == "á" || $chr == "à" || $chr == "ã" || $chr == "â":
$a = str_replace(substr($a,$i,1),"a",$a);
break;
case $chr == "é" || $chr == "è" || $chr == "ê":
$a = str_replace(substr($a,$i,1),"e",$a);
break;
}

AFAICS all of them should work. The 2nd case may not work the way you
intended. It is testing for, if $a is TRUE, AND if $b equals 124.
Where are you getting $a and $b from?

You can use the switch construct in the context that the OP was using it. In
fact I prefer use that instead of a whole bunch of if-then-else statements.
For one thing it looks (IMO) a lot neater.

Well, I've just cut-and-pasted this code and added a few echo statements
(and some other twiddles to get suitable values in), and it works perfectly
-- so I'd say your $a and $b aren't getting the values you think they are.
As a firtst step, I suggest you echo them out immediately before the switch
statement and see what you've got.
Cheers!

Not true. Absolutely nothing wrong with using switch in this way -- it's a
very neat and useful device.

The docs say:
"In many occasions, you may want to compare the same variable
(or expression) with many different values, and execute a
different piece of code depending on which value it equals
to. This is exactly what the switch statement is for."
TRUE is an expression, and so can be the subject of a switch statement.

> variable.
Admittedly all the examples in the manual use a single variable, but from the first
sentence of the switch description:
"The switch statement is similar to a series of IF statements
on the same expression."
... I think it's reasonable to deduce that the parentheses after switch can contain
any legitimate expression.
Admittedly, all the examples in the manual use a single variable -- perhaps you might
want to submit a Documentation Problem bug report suggesting some more complex
examples. Actually, looking at the online manual again, I see several user notes with
potential candidates for moving to the manual proper, including one which demonstrates
the exact usage that the OP was having problems with.
Cheers!

Not sure that's true -- a sequence of elseifs will also stop evaluating once one of
the conditions has evaluated to true. The essential difference is that a switch/case
structure is a repeated test against a single value (possibly derived from an
expression), whereas an if ... elseif sequence can test multiple completely disjoint
conditions.

Actually, I'm not sure that's a good example, either! I'd have thought it was better
written as:
switch (substr($a,$i,1)) {
case "á":
case "à":
case "ã":
case "â":
$a = str_replace(substr($a,$i,1),"a",$a);
break;
case "é":
case "è":
case "ê":
$a = str_replace(substr($a,$i,1),"e",$a);
break;
}

Hello Ben:
We offer PHP/MySQL training courses - currently in Detroit/Chicago, but
we're planning others in Texas and later California. More
info can be found at http://www.tapinternet.com/php. We've
recently partnered with Zend and are looking to expand our
classes into various other markets.
If you're serious about learning PHP, give me a call or drop me an
email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our next class is in January
in Detroit, but we may still be able to convince you to come out
here anyway! :)
I can be reached at 734-480-9961, or 1-866-745-3660 (toll free).
I look forward to hearing from you.

I would reccomend going to the source and looking at the training courses
offered by MySQL AB, the developers of MySQL. Here is a link to the info
page for MySQL's training on PHP + MySQL:
http://www.mysql.com/training/courses/developing_dynamic_webapp.html
Looks like a course is coming up in San Francisco in February.

For the record, variables are case sensitive so it's
$_SESSION not $_session.
And if you're going to use $_SESSION (which you should),
do not use session_register().

I don't think you can send attachments to the list. Examine the php.ini on
both servers and play "spot the difference" :)

Hi,
I'm still having the same problem, the PHP code is sometimes not
interpreted, but passed as text/plain to the browser. The MIME type is
configured correctly, and once (in the master httpd.conf). I even
recompiled Apache. The system: RedHat 6.2 (ancient, I know) with Apache
1.3.27 and PHP 4.2.3. My MIME type defs:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
The module loads correctly, and no error is shown in the logs. The problem
happens mainly with Horde/IMP (I'm using Horde's PEAR, BTW). I guess that
everything started when Perl was upgraded from 5.6.0 to 5.8.0, but I can't
see any connection.
Any idea is appreciated.
Thanks.

I am attempting to modify an old script to support the superglobal
$_POST with register_globals=Off. These register globals are definately
challenging when you are new to php and every example shown anywhere
uses the old method but I guess what doesn't kill you only makes you
stronger.
I am trying to convert this line, $email is coming from an html form so
I would typically call it with $_POST['email'] but this doesn't work in
this case and I thus far haven't been able to find anything that
explains what I should be doing.
function check_banlist($banlist, $email) {
Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks,
Jamie

First, read this:
http://www.php.net/variables.external
Second, assuming you have a PHP version equal to
or greater than 4.1.0 and the method of the form
is POST, you'd do something like this:
$banlist = array('[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
echo check_banlist($banlist, $_POST['email']);
Your question sounds like you're wondering if the
function definition should change, it doesn't. You
leave it as $email and use $email within the function.
This is just how functions work, you pass in values.
So:
function foo ($email) {
print $email;
}
foo($_POST['email']);
// Or as you used to do with register_globals
foo($email);
Or you could always just do:
function bar () {
print $_POST['email'];
}
bar();
This is why they are SUPERglobals, because this is
what you would have done in the past (old school):
function baz () {
global $email, $HTTP_POST_VARS;
print $email;
print $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
}
Also it's worth mentioning that $HTTP_POST_VARS has
existed since PHP 3, so just in case that might be
important to you too. It is not super.
Now if you don't care if 'email' comes from GET, POST,
or COOKIE ... you could use $_REQUEST['email']. Or,
import_request_variables() is another option. For
example:
import_request_variables('p', 'p_');
print $p_email;
See the manual for details, and have fun! It really
isn't that complicated and you'll be yelling out
Eureka! pretty soon now.
Regards,
Philip Olson
P.s. Superglobals work with register_globals on or off.

I haven't been indenting any of my code, but I want to start indenting
to make the code more readable. It would be near-impossible for me to
manually indent what's already there, though. So, I'm looking for a
program to indent an entire folder of PHP files at once. Any suggestions?

But as far as I can tell, there's no "indent all" option. I'd have to
do it by hand, or remove and recreate the line breaks in the text files.

phpedit.com (I believe) has a 'code beautifier' program which will
take existing files and make them 'pretty' (indented, etc)
Not sure if it can do things in batches or not, but still faster
than doing things manually.

Suppose my web domain is http://abc.com
There is a administration directory in my wwwroot which is used to store the

However, from now on, everyone can access the administrative pages through
the addictive path to the domain such as:

Is there any solution to block or prevent the addictive path through my

Just like only http://abc.com is allowed to browse.

There was a post on a similar thing the other day, and about once a week for
the past few years :P
Quick (untested) example:
<table>
<?
$i = 0;
$sql = 'select link from tablename';
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$i++;
if($i == 1) { echo '<tr>'; }
echo "<td>{$myrow['link']}</td>";
if($i == 2) { echo '</tr>'; $i = 0; }
}
?>
</table>
This is easily adaptable to three (or more) columns by changing the last
if() statement...

Hi;
I have a PHP script that prints x number of products and related code to
the generated HTML page. In that repeated code is a JavaScript that enables
a pop-up window with an enlarged photo of a thumbnail image. The code
printed to the JavaScript is dynamically generated in the loop and is
correct. *However*, since the JavaScript has the same_name in all its
renditions, when it's activated, it calls the last dynamically generated
enlarged image, which is not necessarily the one the client cares to see.
How do I keep my dynamic generation and get the correct photo to print? Is
it possible to name functions differently via including an incremented
variable? Here's my code:
<?php // display the products
$j=0;
while( $fcp->next_record() ){
$flag1=(int)$fcp->f('prodflag1');
?>
<tr><td align=left valign=top colspan=1>
<table width="100%" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0>
<tr><td align=left valign=top colspan=3>
<?php
if($fcp->f("prodpic")){ // show the product picture (if defined)
/*
width="<?php echo $fcp->f("prodpicw")?>"
height="<?php echo $fcp->f("prodpich")?>"
*/
?>
<script language="javascript">
var photo = new String();
photo.src = "Jewelry.php?photo=<? echo
ereg_replace('\.','%2E',htmlentities(urlencode($fcp->f("prodpic"))))?>&height=<?
echo
$fcp->f("prodpich")?>";
function popUp(here) {
larimar = eval( here + ".src");
newWindow =
window.open(larimar,"","toolbar=0,menubar=0,width=500,height=450,
scrollbars=1 ,status=0,location=0,dire
ctories=0,left=100,top=0");
}
</script>
<table border=0><tr><td align=center>
<a href="#" onClick="popUp('photo')"><img src="<? echo $fcp->f("prodtpic")?>"
width="<?php echo $fcp->f("prodtpicw")?>"
height="<?php echo $fcp->f("prodtpich")?>"
border=0 align=left></a><br clear=all>
<i>Click image for enlargement.</i>
</td></tr></table>
So, how do I set an incrementor on popUp(here)?

Not sure whether this is your problem, but one thing which can cause this is
when your browser is set to reject cookies and the page tries to set a cookie
and redirects to itself to read the cookie which it tried to set, it doesn't
find it so it sets it again and redirects ... until you get the error
message.

You can also change the apache config to use php for .html pages.
example in apache 2.0.x:
<VirtualHost a.b.c.d:80>
... normal stuff like documentroot, servername, ..
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
Or globally in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, add a:
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>
Example in apache 1.3.x:
Between the <IfModule mod_mime.c> and </IfModule> tags, add the
following:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Hi,
i had a few problems with mkdir() ane uploading files using php.
i have a simple script, which is making a dir. but everytime, it
makes a dir with totally wrong user. chown wont work.
any expirience with this?? i have found some older posts
considering this, but no real answers. i think, the problem is
probably in httpd.conf (apche config file), but i am not sure.
any ideas?
thanx.

That's normal. PHP runs as the Apache user, so anything it creates will
be owned by that user. Workaround is to use CGI mode or make the dir 777
so you can still access it.

This seems unnecessarily complex -- $HTTP_*_VARS did not go away when the new $_*
superglobals were introduced, and are not likely to anytime soon, so the simple way to
do this is just to continue referring to $HTTP_POST_VARS[$var].

OK, so I've spent the last 2 or 3 hours looking on the net for this.
Can anyone tell me the proper way (with Apache 2.0.40) to instruct
apache to process .htm and .html files?
I've tried:
In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ::
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
And also in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf ::
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
Neither appears to work or affect anything at all. I have also tried:
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>
... in the php.conf file, but my guess is that this wouldn't work unless
something like the AddType points to PHP to begin with.
Can anyone give me some ideas? I'm just fine with Apache 1.3, but RH8
ships with Apache2 and I thought I'd try it ...

Hello,
I use the following in my VirtualHost example:
<VirtualHost a.b.c.d:80>
DocumentRoot /a/b/c/d/
ServerName a.be
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
I don't have AddType's for .html.
I also still got the following:
<Directory "/a/b/c/d/">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
This was needed to make the AddType in .htaccess files work in apache
1.3 if i remember correctly. It's possible you only need a
'AllowOverride FileInfo' to make it work.
This works without problems for me on RH8 with the apache/php from RH8.
Kind regards,
Dries Verachtert

No can do -- as all file upload activity takes place before your script even
starts executing, you can't use ini_set on this.
In fact, upload_max_filesize is listed in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php as being a PHP_INI_SYSTEM
level directive, which means it can be set only in php.ini or httpd.conf (if
using Apache) -- it's not even settable in .htaccess files.
Cheers!
Mike

You can also change the apache config to use php for .html pages.
example in apache 2.0.x:
<VirtualHost a.b.c.d:80>
... normal stuff like documentroot, servername, ..
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>
</VirtualHost>
Or globally in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, add a:
<Files *.html>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>
Example in apache 1.3.x:
Between the <IfModule mod_mime.c> and </IfModule> tags, add the
following:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Reading Remote Files With FOPEN:
This appears to be quite a common problem for installations that run a
really tight ship. I am trying to do some XML and have a slight problem:
My hosting company does not allow for file sockets. I assume that this
means that allow_url_fopen will not work.
Example
<?php
if (!($fp = fopen($url, "r"))) {
die("could not open XML input");
}
?>
NOTE: This works fine if the file is local.
The following is supposed to work by overriding the default php.ini but
sadly, does not work on my installation.
Sample Newsfeed in XML format
Or setting the ini file:
<?php
$feed = 'http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf';
ini_set('allow_url_fopen', true);
$fp = fopen($feed, 'r');
$xml = '';
while (!feof($fp)) {
$xml .= fread($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
The result is either getting a message stating that the file could not
be opened or that the file does not exist in the directory. The file
pointer does not seem to recognize the scheme (http) versus file
protocol sometimes?
My question is, has anybody got a reasonable work around for reading
remote files from an http server (must be port 80 not ftp port 21) that
does not require using any commands from the file sockets set (fopen,
fsock...)
OR...
What am I missing here to get the fopen to work when fsockets are NOT
ALLOWED.
NOTE: Yahoo Web Hosting is my provider. They have not yet responded to
my query regarding file sockets and their policies. I cannot change the
PHP installation so I may be not be able to do XML at all.
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
