[PHP] passing variables - php.ini?
Hi guys,
Looking for help on how to activate the automatic passing of variables -
think i need to change something in my php.ini file maybe?
got scripts that work fine on one server, but i've recently got a new
virtual server, and it won't pass variables though - example script..
html
head
titleMatt's PHP/title
/head
body
centerh2Message/h2
form method=post action=?php echo $PHP_SELF?
?php
if($message) {
echo $message;

/tr
tr
td colspan=2
input type=Submit name=submit value=Send
/td
/tr
/table
?php
}
?
/form
/center
/body
/html
This always just gives the form for entering your message, it never does the
bit where it prints it out.
hope this is clear enough,
cheers,

[PHP] Substr and HTML tags - Problem...
Hi, I got a small problem: I need to limit a teaser-text via substr($teaser,0,100). The Problem I now have is, if the last 4 string chars are a html tag like br and this tag will be cut by the substr to something like that: br - it will mess up the webpage... How can I avoid that the html tags are cut by the substr function? Is there a way to make the function know, that it has to leave html tags uncut?? Thanks in advance...

[PHP] Re: PATH INFO urls - replacing GET syntax
Navid,
The path info technique is moderately well known. I thought I'd seen an
account of it at phpwizard.net, and I would have given you the link, but
when I looked just now I couldn't find it. Anyway, this is roughly how it
goes:-
Background
You can add all kinds of stuff at the end of a url pointing to your php
script and the php still gets run e.g.
http://www.mysite.net/myscript.php/this/and/thatand_the_other
will still cause myscript.php to be run. Anything appearing after the path
name is know as the path info and is available in a pre-defined global
variable $PATH_INFO, (at least with Apache). In this example $PATH_INFO
would be /this/and/thatand_the_other, (note the / at the front).
Basic Technique
===
So you can use PATH_INFO to communicate with your script from a link without
using a GET string e.g.
instead of : /myscript.php?search=findthis, you could just have
/myscript.php/findthis.
With the first, GET syntax, php automatically sets $search to findthis.
If you use the second, path info syntax instead, then you have to do a bit
more work to get the value into the variable you want. In this case, you
would do something like:
list($null,$search) = explode('/',$PATH_INFO);
From this line on, it's exactly as if $search was set from the GET
information.
(The $null variable is simply there to use up the empty variable that
explode assigns for what appears before the first /, it is only necessary
because I use list() syntax to do all the work of unpacking and assignment
in one line. list($search) = explode('/',substr($PATH_INFO,1)); would be an
alternative that avoids this dummy variable.)
You can pass any number of parameters, but your script needs to know what
variables need to be set and in what order, which it doesn't have to do
with the GET, since the names of the variables are passed as well as their
values on a GET. For example, I've had urls that look like something like
this:
/product.php/cookers/range/belling
as a replacement for
/product.php?section_code=cookerstype_code=rangemanufacturer_code=belling
To unpack the PATH_INFO version in this case, I use the following code:
list($null,$section_code,$type_code,$manufacturer_code) =
explode('/',$PATH_INFO);
That's about all there is to it.
Eliminating the .php
=
There is a further refinement that I like, which is to get rid of the .php
on the end of the script name. So
instead of/myscript.php/this you have just /myscript/this, or in my
last example :
/product/cookers/range/belling. To achieve this you need to tell your
web-server that it should treat files with no extension as if they were php
files. If you run Apache, you need the following directive in the
configuration file.
DefaultType application/x-httpd-php
(Don't assume I've got the syntax exactly right, check it!)
You can set it across your whole server, just some virtual servers or
individual directories. This tells Apache that if a file has no type i.e.
no extension, treat it as php.
The Advantages
===
Why bother using PATH_INFO, since it is extra work?
1. Elegant URLs
Like you, I much prefer elegant urls. My reasoning is that the location
of a page has an extremely prominent position within any browser, so it
ought to be made as attractive, straightforward and unfrightening for the
user as possible. It's as much a part of the design as the rest of the
page. Whenever I see horrendous urls, (and some of the supposedly most
professional sites are the worst), I get a bad taste in my mouth. I
immediately assume that if the location of the page has such unnecessary
geekery, there is probably a lot more unnecessary geekery to follow on the
body of the page...
2. Search Engines
An often quoted reason for using PATH_INFO is that search engines will not
follow links which include GET data, whereas they will always follow
PATH_INFO based links since there is no way they can distinguish them from
real static links. In principle, this means that you can get every page
of search results indexed and treated as if it were an individual static
page by the search engine. You just need hidden path info based links on
your pages that point to searches for all or various sub-sets of the
possible results. But search engine placing is a black art, so don't take
my word for it ;)
3. Usability
Another point, is PATH_INFO urls are generally easy to
remember/bookmark/manage, since they have a simpler format and will always
use less characters than the GET version. They are, for example, much more
likely to be fully visible in the browser's message toolbar during hovers
over links.
4. Multi-Output Services
There is a more subtle long-term advantage in eliminating the GET portion of
your urls. Pure PATH_INFO urls are inherently more standards compliant
than urls with GET information. They are significantly more likely to fit
in with non-html urls, e.g. satisfying wap or xml requests for data from a
service without
Re: [PHP] zend studio 2.0
Zeev, If you find that GUI tools are not overwhelmingly better for C++, Java product development, that does weaken the case for php studios even more. Why so? 1. Conciseness of php php is a high level application development tool so the code is, or at least, should mostly consist of highly specific encapsulated business logic. This is relatively more suited to a general (possibly application progammable) text editor rather than a php-specific studio. 2. The other code php is mostly about integrating other code i.e. html/sql/Javascript/xml/pdf whatever. In the overall application these are just as important as php. The php studios seem to do a good job of bundling in sql and html tools but it's always going to be hard for one studio, however well designed, to cover the needs of several languages. 3. Maintenance vs Development Personally, I've never understood that there are distinct development and maintenance activities. Isn't maintainability the key quality issue for all code? And isn't the best way to ensure maintainability to make sure the developer maintains? In any case, php progamming is particularly likely to be mostly about maintenance. For all the right reasons: good match to business needs = more sensitivity to business needs = more changes; more robust applications = longer life = more changes; easy coding = easy changes = more changes; shorter development cycles = more prototyping = more changes. So there's lots of maintenance style work (i.e. small, short edits) relative to development. Once again this probably favours less structured development tools. 4. Unix Development Platform If my own development platform was Microsoft, I'm sure I'd need a development studio, if only to do all that opening and closing of windows. But if you can have X hundred windows open on K different desktops with G different tools, it isn't such an issue. 5. Testing on Live Servers Even with all these disincentives I'd still be very tempted to use a php development studio, especially for debugging, but the killer problem is how I test code. Typically, even unit testing is done on test domains/databases of live public servers. The advantage is that it greatly reduces the need for deployment/performance testing (and nasty last-minute deployment issues such as discovering you haven't got a live gd library with png). It also means it's very easy to get the end users/customers involved in testing early on and you don't have to worry about setting up access to lots of different platforms for third-parties e.g. html developers. The disadvantage is that there's always a firewall in the way, so it's not so easy, or desirable, to run back-door client connects to sql, debug or even ftp! (Before anyone jumps down my throat on security issues, why else do we have execution timeouts, user aborts, includes from outside document root etc., etc., unless it's to make this sort of thing possible? And isn't it better to have to focus on security right from the start of development?) I guess the bottom line is... Darned if I can see how anyone can make money out of php add-on tools, even top-notch development studios :( php is just too good! George P.S. On the other hand, if someone was asking for sponsorship to make 0.7 + 0.1 == 0.8, I'd get the cheque book out right away... Zeev Suraski wrote: At 05:02 18/02/2002, Peter J. Schoenster wrote: Well, as you said, no point in arguing. Just that I think if someone really wants to develop they should learn some better tools than a GUI but it's a question of balance. That's quite an arguable point. I don't code PHP but C++ and Java, and I can say that I'm much more productive using an advanced GUI (Visual C++, IntelliJ IDEA) than I am using a text editor and aid tools. There are still things I do in a shell (diffing, grepping, patching, even tiny text edits), but to actually write big code portions, and/or refactor existing code portions, IDE's give you tools that simple text editors just don't. Of course, it's a matter of habits and taste, but saying that 'someone who really wants to develop should learn some better tools than a GUI' is simply bogus in my opinion. GUIs are better than text-mode tools in many ways, and text-mode tools sometimes get the job done quicker than GUIs. A good GUI would address 80% of your needs, and you can fill in the gap with the tools you were used to.

Re: [PHP] uploading files | how to avoid submitting twice?
In JavaScript define varaible which is global for this page, name it
like page_submited, by default set it to false. On submit event set
this variable to true and then from JavaScript submit form. When user
second time will try to submit the form do nothig, just leave function
code. Your JvaScript code is enabled durring your html page is in
browesr so it will have to work. I suppose there isn't any other solution.
Here is simple code
script language=JavaSript
form_submited = 0;
function submit_only_one() {
if ( form_submited ) {
return 1;
} else {
form_submited = 1;
document.forms[ 'name_of_your_formform' ].submit();
}
}
/script
input type=button onclick=JavaScript:submit_only_one()
I hope I didn't make any JavaScript code errors, I didn't use it for
long time.
Good luck

unfortunately, no. one thing you can do is use javascript to pop up a
small window in your form's onsubmit method that tells the user to hang
on, and then close that window in the next page's onload method. it
isn't easy to do a real progress meter, but even this little bit should
help tremendously.
you may also want to check the md5 sum of the file contents against
previous uploads to detect duplicates.

I've never tried it, but it may also be possible to disable the submit
button once it has been pressed once to stop the second upload e.g.
HTML
HEAD
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
function submitonce()
{
if (document.form.submitted.value == No)
{
document.form.submitted.value == Yes;
return true;
} else {
alert(Please wait...);
return false;
}
}
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
BODY
FORM OnSubmit=return submitonce();
INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=submitted VALUE=No
INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME=uploadfile
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT OnClick=return submitonce();
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
N.B. I've set the form's OnSubmit and the submit button's onClick, only
because I'm not sure which will work best.
I'd expect this to work with a normal form submit but maybe file upload is
funny...

I'm currently using the GD extension to generate dynamic PNG's containing text, that should eventually be coming from a database. the deal is, it seems to take a long time, which is probably my own fault, seeing that I'm generating so much text. I am generating an image containing approx 160 lines of text, and it takes about 20seconds to create, this unfortunatley is too long for me. I was wondering if this is a common time with GD or if I am doing something wrong.

I then create a PNG image approx 490*1848(i change the image size depending on the amount of text). I dont do anything really strange in my image function, apart from performing a wordwrap on the text before i start displaying it, just to make the image readable. ideally I would like this to come in considerably quicker. that said, if this is going to be used, it will probably done as a cron job, so if need be I will have toaccept it being super slow. any help is appreciated bros Conor -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Matt, thanks a lot! works fine now i've changed register_globals. =great! just out of interest, what is the 'newer' way? is it using sessions etc, or something else i don't know about? or should i rtfm? ;) Yes it is quicker for me to say RTFM reference, although I wonder if it isn't perceived as slightly rude when I use the acronym in such a context... Preferred approach is to use: $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['username'] rather than $username. RTFM security issues in http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.registerglobals.php which gives a good reason NOT to do what I suggested earlier (!?) and shows code illustrating/contrasting the two methods. The annotated manual is (perhaps surprisingly for open source) v.good and easily handled. Chucking globals at the built-in search facility will also render a wealth of further reading - including globals in 'sessions'.

Re: [PHP] form submission error trapping
Navid,
$SCRIPT_NAME is sometimes a safer alternative than $PHP_SELF.
The difference is that $PHP_SELF includes $PATH_INFO while $SCRIPT_NAME is
just the name of the actual script running.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
This becomes particularly important if you use $PATH_INFO to implement
elegant (and search-engine safe) urls e.g. /search/products/myproduct rather
than /search.php?category=productskey=myproduct.

Simply, to send a form to itself, you can use a special variable called
$PHP_SELF. Here's an example of how to use it:
if ($somevalue) {
header(Location: $PHP_SELF);
} else {
execute some other code...
}
Here, if $somevalue holds true, it will call itself and reload the same
script/file. This code is not very useful at all, but it gets the point
across. If you wanted to pass GET variables to this, then you could
easily say:
header(Location: $PHP_SELF?var=valuevar2=value2var3=value3);
...and so on. You can also use this approach with Sessions if you wanted
to turn the values back over to the form page, assuming you had two
pages: one for the form, and one for form checking and entry into a
database. There are several ways to check forms, whether you want it on
one page or span it out to several pages. You just need to be creative
in what tools are avaiable to you. Here is an example of how you can
pass session values:
header(Location: some_file.php??=SID?);
Here, whatever variables you've registered in session_register() will be
passed to the php page you specify, in this case some_file.php. Hope
this helps. Have fun, and happy coding. :)

Thanks //Mårten _ Chatta med vänner online, prova MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.se I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do. Javascript is executing on the browser, php executes on the server, therefore to get anything from the Javascript to php your browser will have to communicate with the server via a request. This could be a form submission, which might be a POST or a GET. Alternatively, it is also possible to send data to a php script via a url e.g. myscript.php?myfield=myvalue. That means that wherever you can get Javascript to cause the browser to issue a request for a url, if the target at the other end is a php script then you can send data to that script. I don't know what you are trying to do, and this is all pretty obscure stuff, but you could for example put a hidden 1x1 image in the page and then get your Javascript to change the location of this image to be a php script with a variable passed on e.g. something like dummyimage.location = /myscript.php?myfield=+myjsvalue; As long as you get the php to send back another empty 1x1 pixel, e.g. via a header(Location: 1x1pixel.gif), then your browser page will stay the same as ever. As it happens I do sometimes do just this in Javascript but it's to get a new dynamic image back without reloading a page. Go to http://tandridge.cpfc.co.uk/tables/0222/graph/2/d7 and then select something different in the Team 1 or Team 2 selection box, and watch the graph at the bottom of the page to see this happen. In the source look for the Javascript function chteam_id() to see how it's done here.

Subject: [PHP] Guestbook question
I have a really simple guestbook that allows someone to post
to the book,
then it displays all the entries. Well, there are too many
entries now for
just one page and it looks kinda wacky, so I wanted to do
something where it
only displays 10 entries per page, then there are links for
pages say 11-20,
21-30, etc. I have no idea how to do this - I only know how
to limit the
number of entries per page. So, the script that displays all
the entries
looks something like this:
$counter = 0;
$result = mysql_query(select name, post from guestbook order
by id desc,
$db);
while (($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result)) ($counter 10)) {
echo TRTD$myrow[0]/TD/TR\n;
echo TRTD$myrow[1]/TD/TR\n;
++$counter;
}
Well, that shows only the latest 10 alright, but what if I
wanted to show
entries 11-20? I figure I could get the number of posts through
mysql_num_rows, I just can't piece it all together. Any
suggestions would be
really helpful.

[PHP] Substr + Text + HTML - Problem
Hi, I still have one problem, which seems to be not solveable in a easy and smooth way: I have a text file like this: $text=This is a html extended textbrwhich needs to be cut after 100 charsbr; Than I do a substring to limit it to only 100 words (teaser-format): $teaser_1=substr($text, 0, 100); $teaser_2=...a[click here for more]/a; The Output of $teaser_1 will sometimes be like this: This is a html extended textbrwhich needs to be cut after 100 charsbr The br is displayed as br and not properly closed due to the limitation of 100 chars, and therefore messes up my whole webpage! Is there a way to let the function recognize, if the last part of the string is a unclosed html tag? Does anyone have a idea how to do it?

[PHP] Re: form submission error trapping
Jason,
You didn't mention Javascript checks.
Personally I really dislike having to wati for a page to reload before finding
out that I've just failed to fill in a field. The Javascript to do basic
on-page checks is all pretty simple stuff.
Of course this doesn't mean we can skip checking the data again in the php!
Javascript might be switched off, we might have a bug in the Javascript (easy to
do), or we (or someone else) might want to simulate form entry via a url link.
It's also quite likely that there may be checks e.g. checks for duplicate
entries, which cannot be done on a form.
Here's some skeleton code that handles a basic form with both php and javascript
checks, (I've deliberately tried to keep the php/Javascript as similar as
possible). You can try it at http://www.whiffen.net/simple.php if you want.
*** simple.php***
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=php
if (isset($surname))
{
$errormessage = ;
if ($surname == )
{
$errormessage = $errormessage . brYou must enter a value for surname;
}
if ($age = 0 or $age != floor($age))
{
$errormessage = $errormessage . brAge must be a whole number;
}
if ($errormessage == )
{
// do whatever you have to with the data and maybe finish with
// a redirect to a success page
}
}
print '
HTML
HEAD
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
function check()
{
var message = ;
if (document.myform.surname.value == )
{
message = message+\nYou must enter a value for surname;
}
if (document.myform.age.value != parseInt(document.myform.age.value))
{
message = message+\nAge must be a whole number;
}
if (message != )
{
alert(You have the following errors to correct:+message);
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
BODY
H1MY FORM/H1
FORM name=myform method=post onSubmit=return check();
';
if ($errormessage != )
{
print 'You have the following errors to correct'.$errormessage.'BR';
}
print '
Surname:
INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=surname VALUE='.$surname.'
BR
Age:
INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=age VALUE='.$age.'
BR
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT
BR
A HREF='.$SCRIPT_NAME.'sSource/A
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
';
/SCRIPT
You'll see that http://www.whiffen.net/simple.php?surname=whiffenage=23.2 works
perfectly well too.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Javascript. It always seems to be much more
trouble than php for some reason, but it has its place, (as long as you never
rely on it!).

I am working on some error trapping for several forms on my site. After

1. display an error box on a new page and force the user to hit the back

2. display the form again with appropriate error text and pre-filled fields.
I have part of the error on the new page working but I'm running into the
infamous no contents in the form after going back.
There are some useability issues with forcing the user to hit the back
button -- some just don't want to bother.
Is there a way to display the form w/original contents and error messages
'without' having to code the entire form twice? I have about 5 forms with 50
fields or so each.
What would be the best way to go about redrawing the form with the errors
shown beside each field?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

RE: [PHP] using a mysql temporary table.
Good day, I would have to dig around to find the appropriate note in the documentation, however I seem to recall reading that PHP's MySQL wrappers intentially prohibit a user from using semicolons- basically to prevent one's database from being hacked due to a poorly constructed query using user input. I can't immediately find a reference to this, though. As a workaround, you could execute two separate queries and store all of the results in a 2-D array in memory.

Re: [PHP] Re: form submission error trapping
You do not need to use javascript.
Simple create a form that submits to itself. And check the values, then
reprint the form or redirect.
Example:
?php
if ($REQUEST_METHOD == POST) {
$required = array (surname, age);
$err_msg = ;
while (list ($key) = each ($required)) {
if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS[$key]) {
$err_msg .= Please enter a value for $keybr\n;
}
}
if (!empty($err_msg)) print $err_msg;
}
?
form action=?= $PHP_SELF ? method=POST
input type=text name=surname value=?= $surname ?br
input type=text name=age value=?= $age ?
input type=submit name=Submit
/form
Hope that helps,

Jason,
You didn't mention Javascript checks.
Personally I really dislike having to wati for a page to reload before finding
out that I've just failed to fill in a field. The Javascript to do basic
on-page checks is all pretty simple stuff.
Of course this doesn't mean we can skip checking the data again in the php!
Javascript might be switched off, we might have a bug in the Javascript (easy to
do), or we (or someone else) might want to simulate form entry via a url link.
It's also quite likely that there may be checks e.g. checks for duplicate
entries, which cannot be done on a form.
Here's some skeleton code that handles a basic form with both php and javascript
checks, (I've deliberately tried to keep the php/Javascript as similar as
possible). You can try it at http://www.whiffen.net/simple.php if you want.
*** simple.php***
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=php
if (isset($surname))
{
$errormessage = ;
if ($surname == )
{
$errormessage = $errormessage . brYou must enter a value for surname;
}
if ($age = 0 or $age != floor($age))
{
$errormessage = $errormessage . brAge must be a whole number;
}
if ($errormessage == )
{
// do whatever you have to with the data and maybe finish with
// a redirect to a success page
}
}
print '
HTML
HEAD
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
function check()
{
var message = ;
if (document.myform.surname.value == )
{
message = message+\nYou must enter a value for surname;
}
if (document.myform.age.value != parseInt(document.myform.age.value))
{
message = message+\nAge must be a whole number;
}
if (message != )
{
alert(You have the following errors to correct:+message);
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
BODY
H1MY FORM/H1
FORM name=myform method=post onSubmit=return check();
';
if ($errormessage != )
{
print 'You have the following errors to correct'.$errormessage.'BR';
}
print '
Surname:
INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=surname VALUE='.$surname.'
BR
Age:
INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=age VALUE='.$age.'
BR
INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT
BR
A HREF='.$SCRIPT_NAME.'sSource/A
/FORM
/BODY
/HTML
';
/SCRIPT
You'll see that http://www.whiffen.net/simple.php?surname=whiffenage=23.2 works
perfectly well too.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Javascript. It always seems to be much more
trouble than php for some reason, but it has its place, (as long as you never
rely on it!).

1. display an error box on a new page and force the user to hit the back

2. display the form again with appropriate error text and pre-filled fields.
I have part of the error on the new page working but I'm running into the
infamous no contents in the form after going back.
There are some useability issues with forcing the user to hit the back
button -- some just don't want to bother.
Is there a way to display the form w/original contents and error messages
'without' having to code the entire form twice? I have about 5 forms with 50
fields or so each.
What would be the best way to go about redrawing the form with the errors
shown beside each field?

question is:
Is there any way to use some kind of function to delete selected files? I am
not sure if i can use javascript to evaluate which is checked and how. And
after that evaluation, how to call a unlink ($filename) to delete the files.

[PHP] Re: Has anyone created or called a Web Service from PHP? (SOAP)
Yeah, From php, I've called paybox (http://www.paybox.de), which is a mobile phone based payment service. You exchange transactions with them via xml. They have their own cartridge for php, but it's just a perl rewrite and not very wonderful, so I rewrote most of it. The basic approach is simply to open a socket to the service, send out your xml, and/or listen for xml from them. To parse the xml, you could try one of the php xml parsers, or if they are simple, known, messages, you could just parse them yourself with a few regular expressions see ereg. If you want to write an xml server, php may not be your best bet although I guess it could be done. The problem with the server is all about multi-threading so you don't force everyone to queue on the port while you're processing each request. I've done something similar with tcl using a simple looping stub that listened on the port and passed off requests to sub-processes asynchronously But if you only need to call, then the functions you need are: fsockopen(), fputs(), fgets(), fclose() You might also want to tweak with socket_set_blocking, socket_set_timeout and socket_get_status The manual is quite good on all these nowadays, start with http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php If this is communication with an xml server to execute a payment, (as with Paybox), you have to design your transactions carefully if you want to avoid all the problems of duplicate payments, interrupted payments, user cancels, web server goes down in the middle of a transaction, php bombs out, their xml server goes down in the middle of a transaction etc. If you get this wrong, you WILL end up with discrepancies between your record of transactions and your payment providers sooner or later. The good news is that you can make it very robust with php, and with a lot less work than if you had to use Java, C or some similar language. The main tricks are:- a) Make your communication with the xml server a 2-phase commit, so if either of you goes down mid-way, the other one knows and can rewind. b) Record your own version of the transaction in a database and use that to check for duplicates, user cancel requests, timeouts etc. c) Put up a holding page with an auto-submit to tell the user you've started and give them an option to cancel explicitly in case they see problems. In Paybox's case the user was involved in the payment authorisation loop via their mobile phone, so this was essential. If you do this you can safely wrap your code in an ignore_user_abort to give extra protection, while still giving the user a sensible message and their own option to cancel if they feel they are waiting too long. d) Make your sql transaction updates atomic i.e. when marking your transaction as valid include a where clause on the update to make sure it has the expected status and hasn't for example, already been processed from another browser window. That way even if your database doesn't support transactions, provided the database server at least locks a row during update, you'll be safe from transactions switching back to cancelled after they've actually been completed (and vice-versa). The key point is that you can do just as secure and safe a job of commercial-grade transaction processing with the likes of php/mysql etc., as with the hard-core geek tools, provided you get the design right. You have a very good channce of doing a much better job, since you don't have to waste so much time on all their geekery.

[PHP] Q: sessions in a switch block not working
Hello,
I'm hoping to get some help with a sessions problem i've
ran into. track_vars is enabled and register_globals is off.
i'm using PHP 4.0.6 and custom session handlers with ADODB
connecting to mysql.
at the top:
session_start();
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder])) {
echo NOT SETbr\n;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder] = 1;;
} else {
echo IT IS SET: {$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder]}br\n;
}
-
in the middle of a switch statement:
$nasty_folder = $HTTP_GET_VARS[folder];
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder] = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder] + 444;
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder])) {
echo ADDED 444: {$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[old_folder]}br\n;
} else {
echo FAILED TO ADDBR\n;
}
---
first time through it prints NOT SET.
second time, without finding my way into the switch it prints IT IS SET: 1.
third time, before going into the case with + 444, it prints IT IS SET: 1, then
i make it into the case and promptly prints ADDED 444: 445 as the next line.
fourth time, i would expect IT IS SET: 445 without worrying about where i
wonder in the switch. can anyone tell me why this isn't working?
i do have many lines of code in between but, none deals with HTTP_SESSION_VARS.
the only other use i'm making of sessions is setting $uID = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[uID]
well before the switch statement. $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[uID] gets set many pages
and other PHP scripts before and i just reuse it (as sessions were intended).
any help would be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] Option for Serial or Comm port communication with PHP?
Hi everyone, I was hoping to work on a hairbrained idea that would allow me to use php to control an X10 or other serial device (security system, irrigation controller, etc,). I have read several hints at using the fopen function to do serial communications but these posts were a year old. Is it possbile to do serial communications using php. What are the options?

Re: [PHP] Fetching the values from previous page
Dear Batara, There are global variables that serve this purpose. You must have register_globals turned on: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php $_POST An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method. Automatically global in any scope. Introduced in PHP 4.1.0. I believe that you can also use getenv() if the register_globals is not on. Steven J.

Holy cow that's a big graphic. 20 seconds does sound a tad long, but might not be depending on the server and memory - what are the specs?

[PHP] when to use htmlspecialchars()
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice in deciding the most appropriate time to use htmlspecialchars(): When user input is accepted and error-checked and ready to be inserted into the database? Or when user input is pulled from the database and ready to be displayed to the screen? It seems that running htmlspecialchars() BEFORE the data goes into the database is the safest way to do it, so that potentially malicious characters and tags never actually make it past the script. But upon thinking about the implications of this, it strikes me that this will affect the integrity of my data -- ideally, I want to keep the data as pristine as possible while it is in the database, since it might end up being parsed by something other than a browser someday, in which case it would be best to leave the data as is. I'm leaning toward the second method, but I want to make sure that doing so won't expose me to any risks that I haven't considered. Please give me your thoughts on this.

Re: [PHP] PHP Forms
Your submit button does not have name=submit set. So $submit is never
being set.
Also your html is full of errors, I would clean that up and put it thru a
validator, try html tidy (www.w3c.org).
And, make sure that formvalidation() is passing true, is that fails the
form will never be submitted.

[PHP] downloading text files stored in database?
Hi, I wonder if someone can point me in the direction of an example and / or some documentation for the following task: I have a DB table containing the name and contents of plain text files that users have uploaded. I have a facility which allows users to view these, but I would also like the users to be able to *download* these files (i.e. display an 'open from present location / save to disk' dialogue). I am thinking that this would be accomplished by including a few META data lines at the top of a .php script, but would this allow me to specify the default saved name? e.g. there is record in the DB for a file called test.dat. I have a form that will submit to something like download_file.php, which will then (given the file id) obtain the appropriate data from the database and prompt the user whether they wish to open the file or save it (this will be the built-in dialogue with the browser). On selecting the save option, the default file name will appear as test.dat as opposed to download_file.php. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank very much in advance. - Best regards, Lee -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

described. Does it look like this for you?:
script language=JavaScript/script
!--
function generateTree()
{
..
I get that in my mozilla but I belive that mozilla tries to fix the code since it
doesnt get the complete script. The code from the file (vr_navbar.php) looks like
this:
html
head
titleNackademin/title
script language=JavaScript
!--
?php/*
generateBranch(id, caption, level, open)
id: uniqe value.
caption: text.
level: 0 is root.
open: 1 its open. 0 its closed.
generateNode(href, caption, level, flag)
href: URL or href.
caption: text.
level: 0 is root.
flag: Dont know. Set it to always be 0.
*/?
function generateTree()
{
..
If you have a utility such as wget you could try fetching the vr_navbar.php file with
that. With that you can check out the code with any editor.
Try an experiment. Take all the JS off the page and link it back, except
what is need to print. If you have the same problem try Netcapes tree
widget and see if that works. If it doesn't then you know to look else
where.

[PHP] Apache is not parsing my php...sometimes...
I've got an exceedingly wierd issue. I'm running a default installation of Linux Slackware 8.0. I've got the apache and mod_php modules installed. If I access my php document as follows, everything is parsed correctly: http://www.example.net/mypage.php However, if I access the page with the following, the code is not parsed and the php is placed in my html as plain text (bad because I have MySQL passwords in there): http://www.example.net/mypage Is anyone familiar with this problem. Is it a httpd config problem, perhaps a problem with how the php module was configured?

[PHP] How many files can be in one directory?
Hi there, I am building a web application which is storing pictures. Is there a limit of files in one directory on LINUX systems? Perhaps it might end in a problem after having 3 files in the same dir? Performance issues ore something else. Has anybody got experiance on that?

This is a parameter when first mke3fs was ran to create the fs. Usually you'll have 1 i-node every 4096 bytes and you need 1 inode per file. So do your calculations depending on the size of your partition. cheers, thalis Has anybody got experiance on that?

[PHP] Freeing up locked table?

This is mysql doing the locking, you will need to look into your mysql configuration.

Re: [PHP] downloading text files stored in database?
In the download_file.php put a header() function which redirects the browser to the file, like header(Location: test.dat). After that it should show the dialog screen. Balazs On Mon, 25 Feb 2002, Lee P Reilly wrote: Hi, I wonder if someone can point me in the direction of an example and / or some documentation for the following task: I have a DB table containing the name and contents of plain text files that users have uploaded. I have a facility which allows users to view these, but I would also like the users to be able to *download* these files (i.e. display an 'open from present location / save to disk' dialogue). I am thinking that this would be accomplished by including a few META data lines at the top of a .php script, but would this allow me to specify the default saved name? e.g. there is record in the DB for a file called test.dat. I have a form that will submit to something like download_file.php, which will then (given the file id) obtain the appropriate data from the database and prompt the user whether they wish to open the file or save it (this will be the built-in dialogue with the browser). On selecting the save option, the default file name will appear as test.dat as opposed to download_file.php. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
