Good advice -- I hadn't thought of that (echoing right beneath the
setcookie() function). But then i thought of something else... how can
I echo text before the "<html>" tag? So I put a third setcookie()
function above the <html> tag
setcookie("foo", "echobar")
hoping that this would be very simple -- set a cookie with the value of
"echobar", then later (in the <body> of the page) add
echo "<p>$foo</p>" ;
Well, it didn't work either, unfortunately. "echobar" didn't appear on
my page. And I'm not getting any errors, either....
So the answer to no. 1 is now yes, but the cookie didn't get sent.
No. 2, I tried a sort of test (but the one you suggest gave me an error
message b/c it's trying to echo text in the headers or something).
No. 3, no errors.
I'm still reading the www.php.net page on setcookie()... hoping for
something that says that perhaps my browser is the source of the problem.

Miles, et al:
I realized my problem today, with the cookies.
While reading the voluminous setcookie() function description (meaning
the user notes at the bottom), I came across a sample script that
[EMAIL PROTECTED] had written to test to see if a browser is working with
cookies correctly. I ran the script and it too proved that cookies were
not being received by my browser (for whatever reason). So, in
semi-frustration, I decided to do something else for a while and come
back to the problem later. I do that a lot.
So later I tried accessing the script that [EMAIL PROTECTED] had written
again, this time from a different computer. Because I was trying the
page out on a non-local computer (previously I had been testing the page
on the localhost -- the webserver itself), I had to enter the official
IP address of the web server, rather than the default 127.0.0.1 for
local hosts.
Sure enough, the script gave me the signal that cookies were working
again. I couldn't believe it. Why was it working on this other
computer but not mine?
Yep, for whatever reason it's because I used the official IP address
this time. I went back to the localhost (the web server computer) and
tried the pages again, both my original script and the one I got from
the setcookie() comments. This time, I was properly prompted as to
whether or not I wanted to accept a cookie.
So it works! You just have to use the correct IP address.
Okay, thanks Miles and hope this information serves someone else in the
future. Now I can go home (almost 8 PM!!).

Due to a few bugs in PHP 4.1.0, we decided to release PHP 4.1.1. The bugs
that were fixed are not major ones but minor ones, which could be annoying
if you get bitten by them.
Our recommendation is that people who already upgraded to PHP 4.1.0 do
*not* upgrade to PHP 4.1.1, unless they're experiencing one of the
described bugs.
*No* new features or security updates are available in this release.
Full list of fixes:
- Fixed incompatibility with Windows .NET / IIS 6 - may improve stability
under other versions of IIS. (Zeev)
- Fixed bug that caused crashes or error notices on shutdown on threaded
platforms. (Zeev)
- Fixed several crash bugs in the xslt extension. (Markus, Derick)
- Fixed problem with dbase not returning very large (larger than long)
integers properly. (Vlad)
- Fixed several bugs and memleaks in the domxml extension. (Markus)
- Fixed bug in gmmktime() which was one hour off during standard time -
bug #9878. Patch by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (jmoore)
- Fixed bug in gmdate() timezone handling on Windows - bug #13885. (jmoore)
- Fixed several crash bugs in the mcrypt extension. (Derick)
- Made the mcrypt extension compile with the libmcrypt 2.2 series again.
(Sterling)
- Fixed a bug where the is_file() family of functions would in-correctly give
an error when they were given filenames that didn't exist. (Sterling)
- Fixed a bug in the strtotime() function where it was incorrectly recognizing
GMT +0100 and GMT -0100. (Derick)

You don't need to. The escaping is only to ensure the query doesn't break.
When
it's in the db and when it's returned, it will not have the slashes.

i know this isn't a linux newsgroup or listing, but i've seen configuration
problems in the past
so i was wondering if anyone could fix mine now.
I have the server, ssl, php, mySql, the whole deal, but we have an Intel
wireless network at home which, as it turns out, has only windows drivers. I
found a driver (Tulip) that apparently works with the card I have, but I
can't get beyond the point of ./make
there's always an error. If someone knows existing problems, or good
documentation on how to complete this installion process, that information
would be greatly appreciated.

Some tips on asking for help:
1. ask in the right place (this is not it)
2. it does no good to say you received an error unless you put the error
message in the post
3. research first...there are nearly 55,000 search results on this subject
at google
4. combine steps 2 and 3...search for the error message on google..this will
usually lead to quick results

Cookies are set and read via HTTP headers, therefore this has to occur
before any output is sent to the client. You can work around this with the
ob_start() and ob_end_flush() functions, but normally you'd want to move
the session_start() or session_register() calls up to the top of your
script. See below:
"Note: If you are using cookie-based sessions, you must call
session_start() before anything is output to the browser."
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
"Note: In PHP 4, you can use output buffering to get around this problem,
with the overhead of all of your output to the browser being buffered in
the server until you send it. You can do this by calling ob_start() and
ob_end_flush() in your script, or setting the output_buffering
configuration directive on in your php.ini or server configuration files."

take the closing php tag from the end of the first line plus the openning
tag from the begining of the second line. that is sending a line feed to
the browser.

Hi,
I try to send the content of a variable about the url to the next php-page.
The content of the variable is:
Client like '%4022720893%'
I have tried urlencode and urldecode, but this does not work
If I put this variable to an url, I got always
Client like '@22720893%'
(depending from the number after the first %),
I also have tried to mask with slashes and stripslashes. But this does also
not work.
Who can help and has the best way to send this content thru an url
best regards
christian

Why not get rid of the stuff you do not need to send?
Just send the client number and then add the Client like%% stuff on the
other end.

Hello all,
In an effort NOT to make this sound like spam I will be as vague as possible.
My suite mates and I are trying to put together a conference (classes and exhibits)
based around PHP and MYSQL. They are a very successful conference
company and I am a lowly developer who the give out some office space to. The plan is
to offer the classes and conference free of charge to all who want to
come.
This is an idea we recently started kicking around. I was wondering if there is anyone
on this list who wouldn't mind lending me a few minutes in exchanging
emails so that I can ask for a little input on how you all would feel about this.
I apologize for posting something a bit off topic here.
Thanks,
Gerard Onorato

I am attempting to use fsockopen to connect to a news server. I am able to
successfully connect and authenticate. In fact, I can issue many commands
without a hitch.
I do, however, have a problem with commands which require multiline results.
For instance, issuing the list command and echoing the results to the
browser invariably results in the browser stalling. There is no timeout
error from php, but after an arbitrary number of lines the browser stalls
and does not receive the rest of the stream.
I first thought this was some type of timeout error, but the odd thing is
that the amount of data successfully recieves varies depending on the nntp
server.
For example: server A may have 90,000 groups to list and stalls after
transferring 70,000 or so. On the other hand, server B may have only 300
groups to list and stalls after 250.
If anyone has had any experience with this problem, please let me know what
you did to resolve it.

Why not just use the imap extension which supports the NNTP protocol
natively?

Good suggestion, in fact I just recompiled to include the IMAP extensions
for just that purpose. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a decent
understanding of how to use the IMAP extensions with NNTP, and since I have
implemented connection level NNTP sessions in a number of languages I
thought it may be easier.
If you are aware of a good example or tutorial for implementing NNTP with
IMAP I would appreciate a link.
P.S. Thanks for this wonderful tool.

hmm, does it work with smaller newsgroups? such as php\'s one which have ~30 groups.
when i wrote my own reader (using fsockopen also), i found that stalls are usually
because of my own error(eg, article not found, etc)
you can take a peek at jim winstead\'s code from http://lists.php.net/snapshot.tar.gz
it\'s the code powering http://lists.php.net. i learnt a lot from reading his code!
Good Luck!

that's because your SQL query return nothing, but you
try to fetch a row.

any other databases is there a good one? What is the best one even if it's
with MySQL?

Why not a traditional mailing list manager like mailman?

Ben,
These aren't pure PHP however if you are using qmail I would tell you to take a look
at ezmlm (http://www.ezmlm.org/) and if your using sendmail you may
want to try majordomo (http://www.ualberta.ca/CNS/MAJORDOMO/). If your using something
else... well I honestly have no clue. :)

I'm really unable to discuss the mailing-list topic because I have nil expertise
in this field (apart from using them, that is). However, I'd strongly advise you
to use something based on some kind of database system, because alternate
methods of storing data (i.e. plain text files) are crippled from the start in
the speed department -- and if you hope the list to grow, this will become a
major issue.

Interestingly enough, the largest mailing list systems do not use databases
to store their addresses. The likely limit will be bandwidth, not anything
else.
Look into qmail/ezmlm for a good combination, along with the tied & true
majordomo list manager. I've been running some large mailing lists using the
ezmlm/qmail combo - which easily saturates a T1 connection running just a
350 MHz PII.

I'd say mailman. I know sourceforge.net is running mailman on a few lists
I'm subscribed to. mailman is fairly easy to setup.
Majordomo has had quite a few security issues and isn't really easy.
A few large lists I know are running qmail/ezmlm.. lists like BUGTRAQ
(securityfocus.com) and the MySQL mailinglist (mysql.com) are running ezmlm.
If you plan to use a database, I know ezmlm can be used with one.. I think
I remember it's still considered experimental.

Dear all
I want to provide a login page to the user when they want to visit my
website, i got no idea what should i used.
First i have a login.php page which got two input box, one for username and
one for password.
Then i have a login table with mysql database which contain the valid user
and password.
And i have a index.htm which let the user browse my website.This index.htm
is consist of three frame, top, left and main. Each frame contain different
page(.php).
Task :
User will login first through login.php, then the username and password
provided by user will need to match the table called login.
Once the username and password is correct, the username will be hold in a
place for the further use inside the website(eg: when user want to see the
leave history records, it will only show it's own record by select the query
using the username section).
then user will direct into index.htm.
Could someone pls give me a idea how i should make this system work??
Thx
Jack

hey-
ok. I have the following code.
<?php
if($submit) {
$arradate = explode("/",$date);
$uxdate = mktime(0,0,0,$arradate[0],$arradate[1],$arradate[2]);
print $uxdate;
}
else {
?>
<form action="strtotime.php" method="POST"> //name of file is
strtotime.php
<input type="text" name="date" size="30">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
<?
}
?>
the problem: it's printing out -1 when i submit. I know it means something
is wrong, however I can't find an error with this when i have the following
code below working perfectly: [sidenote]: i enter the date into the form
field like this: 1/11/2002
$date1 = "1/11/2002";
$ardate = explode("/",$date1);
$unixdate = mktime(0,0,0,$ardate[0],$ardate[1],$ardate[2]);
print $unixdate . "<br>";
can somebody explain to me why this isn't working??
thanks
chris
p.s. it should return this unix timestamp: 1010725200

OK this is strange. This works fine on my machine and I get he expected
result: 1010725200
It *appears* to be a specific OS/distribution issue, but this is where
my experience ends. I've seen weird issues like this on systems
where I also see processes suddenly appear to have spawned in the winter
of 1969.

Sorry for the late reply but maybe you should take a look at the function
range.
from the manual:
foreach(range('a', 'z') as $letter) {
echo $letter;
}

Consider this example:
$letter = 'a';
$i = 0;
while ($i++ < 26) {
print "Letter: ". $letter++ ."\n";
}

Hello php-world!
I'm working on Apache 22, php 4.1.0 and try to work with MsSQL 2000.
PHP is configured
'./configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.22' '--with-mysql'
'--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds' '--enable-track-vars'
Everything works fine when using mssq-Functions, except extracting images
from db. There is limit on 4096 bytes when i extract data from image field.
I've changed php.ini - turned mssql_limits to 1000000 (instead of 4096),
restarted a[pache but problem doesn't seem to disappear.
On IIS i t works fine, but what do i miss???
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
