[PHP] Saving A Database Image to a File (Thumbnail Problems)
Hello All,
I'd really appreciate some help figuring out what's wrong with this
code. I can't seem to successfully save a MySQL JPG Image to a physical
jpg file (well atleast not a valid one)
The critical pieces of the code look like this:
// 1. Get Image from DB to String
$sql = SELECT Image FROM Images WHERE ID='$ID';
$res = dbi_query ( $sql );
if ( $res ) {
if($row = dbi_fetch_row( $res ))
dbi_free_result ( $res );
$Images = stripslashes($row[0]);
}
$File = ReThumbnail.jpg;
// 2. Write string to File
$fd = fopen($File, wb);
fputs($fd,$Images,strlen($Images));
fclose($fd);
// 3. Create Thumbnail
system(djpeg -pnm $File | pnmscale -xscale $xscale -yscale $yscale |
cjpeg $File.tmb);
// 4. Read New Thumbnail into a new string
$fd = fopen( $File.tmb, rb);
$tmb = addslashes(fread($fd,filesize($File.tmb)));
fclose($fd);
// 5. Update Database
$sql = UPDATE Images SET Thumbnail='$tmb' WHERE ID=$ID;
if(dbi_query($sql)) {
echo ReThumbnailing Successful;
exit;
}
The problem seems to be in step 2 from what I can figure.
I know that the Image file in the database is valid and outputs the
appropriate info to display the jpg.. However, the image that is saved
to the hard drive doesn't seem to be valid.
Nor can I run the system command from the command line on the server:
[mike@madras caravan2001]$ djpeg -pnm ReThumbnail.jpg | pnmscale -xscale
.1 -yscale .1 | cjpeg ReThumbnail.jpg.tmb
Corrupt JPEG data: 67 extraneous bytes before marker 0xc2
Quantization table 0x01 was not defined
pnmscale: Command not found.
Empty input file
I'm not sure what those extra 67 bytes are about.. Is the Oxc2 marker
the beginning or the end? I couldn't figure this out either..
However, if step 2 isn't working, It's bungling up everything else...
I thought that this might be an issue of strlen balking over the binary
file. The documentation doesn't seem to think this would be a problem
(with binary files)
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strlen.php
I found an alternate resource here
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-field-len.php
and attempted to incorporate it with
// Alternate way to determine strlen
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$ImageSize = mysql_field_len ($result, 0);
// $ImageSize = strlen($Images);
echo $ImageSize;
That didn't work either.. However I wqas able to get some more useful
information about the validity of strlen

and then save it again as another MySQL Image (a thumbnail)...

Re: [PHP] Saving A Database Image to a File (Thumbnail Problems)
Hi Martin,
I read somewhere else that this was required for binary files.. However
it certainly doesn't seem to be..
As it turns out, when I took out the stripslashes($row[0]) from:
// 1. Get Image from DB to String
$sql = SELECT Image FROM Images WHERE ID='$ID';
$res = dbi_query ( $sql );
if ( $res ) {
if($row = dbi_fetch_row( $res ))
dbi_free_result ( $res );
$Images = $row[0];
}
It mostly worked..
However I ran into another problem.. I think this is a difference
between RedHat 6.x and 7.x..
pnmscale doesn't seem to exist in the 7.x release.
I ended up using the following instead:
system(djpeg -pnm -scale 1/8 $File | cjpeg $File.tmb);
In anycase thanks for your help.

try changing this line

as you don't need to specify the length. If you don't specify the
length, it'll write the entire string. see how that goes...

[PHP] Re: JPG Images from database to filename.jpg
Hi George, George Whiffen wrote: I'm confused. Is your problem serving up the images in your database to the web or writing them out to files on the server? Sorry for the confusion.. It was in writing out the database images to files on the server. This is where my problem lies.. If it's serving images, I would expect you to have: select myimage from db Header(Content-type: image/jpeg); echo $myrow[myimage]; exit(); Yes.. This is consistent with what is done in the rest of the script and indeed what any of other tutorials describe.. If it's writing from the db to a real file on your server, I would expect: select myimage from db open myfile write $myrow[myimage]; close myfile I've tried something like this: $connection = mysql_connect(host, user, pwd); mysql_select_db(dbname); $query = 'SELECT imagefiled FROM imagetabel WHERE id = '.$id; $result = mysql_query($query); $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $fd = fopen( $File.tmb, r+); $tmb = addslashes(fwrite($fd, $row[0])); fclose($fd); However, I can't view the file that is saved (there is a file saved each time I do this, but can't tell if it is the appropriate file).. I assumed that I needed to include the header file.. The template also doesn't seem to work, but that is because of an error I'm getting an error when i run this on the server (the expression of what I am trying to do with the system() command below): djpeg -pnm ReThumbnail.jpg | pnmscale -xscale .1 -yscale .1 | cjpeg ReThumbnail.jpg.tmb Corrupt JPEG data: 67 extraneous bytes before marker 0xc2 Quantization table 0x01 was not defined pnmscale: Command not found. Empty input file I don't know what this all means The Header is just for the web, to tell the browser or other client what kind of file it is getting from your php script since it is not the expected type automatically supplied by the web-server (text/html). Real physical files don't need a header. The web servers automatically generate appropriate headers for real image files based on the file extension before they send them out over the web. So, why can't I see this the 17159 bytes of this image then: http://www.wtoaction.org/caravan2001/ReThumbnail.jpg I was assuming that I couldn't see it because I didn't have the header. I was just trying to use ImageJPEG to force in a header. It would be far easier to just write the contents of an image from a database and insert them into a file.. Does that make sense, or have I completely missed the point? You got the point.. Thanks for your help.. Still not there yet though.. Mike Mike Gifford wrote: Hello, I've got a number of images in a database..

Uploading the files generally inserts these both at the same time, however I need to create a number of new thumbprints based on a different scale. What I thought would be easiest would be to take the image, save it to filename.jpg and then run the thumbnailing script on it. I think that this would look like the following: ?php // There's other DB stuff here, but this isn't important $Images = stripslashes($row[0]); $File = ReThumbnail.jpg; // Create JPG image ImageJPEG(imagecreatefromstring($Images), $File); // Scale image system(djpeg -pnm $File | pnmscale -xscale .1 -yscale .1 | cjpeg $File.tmb); // Write thumbprint $fd = fopen( $File.tmb, r+); $tmb = addslashes(fread($fd, filesize($File.tmb))); fclose($fd); // Insert Thumbprint image into database $sql = UPDATE Images SET Thumbnail='$tmb' WHERE ID=$ID; // There's other DB Stuff here too... ? I'm really quite stuch here.. How do you take a db image of a database and create a physical jpg file? I think I'm getting messed up by the header in: Header(Content-type: image/jpeg); echo $Images; I can't figure out how to create the header. There's lots of examples of how to do the above, but I have yet to stumble across an example which allows you to write the header into a file Suggestions would be appreciated..

Sorry if I wasn't very clear abou tthis..
I don't need to echo the contents to be viewed on the web.. I'm already
doing that here:
http://www.wtoaction.org/caravan2001/
It's a matter of saving it to a file on the disk (from the database) so
I can manipulate it with djpeg, pnmscale, cjpeg
Thanks for throwing in the mysql stuff I left out..

You could make a PHP script that generate the picture?
Like this:
?php
/* Picture file need an ID!! */
$connection = mysql_connect(host, user, pwd);
mysql_select_db(dbname);
$query = 'SELECT imagefiled FROM imagetabel WHERE id = '.$id;
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result) 0) {
//You got the image
header(Content-type: image/jpeg);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
echo $row[0];
}
else {
//No image with that id!
}
mysql_close($connection);
?
HTML file where the image is:
html
body
img src=phpfile.php?id=23 border=0 alt=
/body
/html
Dont know if you misunderstand you?

Johan

Sorry, couple post-Post changes..
The initial query should have been:

The an echo of the UPDATE sql now looks like this:
UPDATE Images SET Thumbnail='

This is the essential part of the script which is displaying the data now:

$res = dbi_query ( $sql );

The image looks just fine here:

The problem I had was that stripslashes and stripcslashes were not working as the manual said. When I had one \ addslashes() gave me \\ (comfirmed at the DB) but stripslashes() gave me a big nothing striping everything. I shouldn't need to use this command should I? http://php.net/manual/en/function.addcslashes.php I've used stripslashes before effectively in other pieces of code.. If it is this use base64_encode and base64_decode. This is a tip Chris (only know his name) gave me as no solution for addslashes was given... Thanks again Chris!! Ok.. This is getting better.. http://php.net/manual/en/function.base64-encode.php $this-daten[image] = addslashes(base64_encode(fread(fopen($userfile, r), filesize($userfile; Just $this-daten[image] = base64_encode(fread(fopen($userfile, r), filesize($userfile))); Ok.. I've modified this.. The special chars in RFC2045 are from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt?number=2045 : tspecials := ( / ) / / / @ / , / ; / : / \ / / / [ / ] / ? / = ; Must be in quoted-string, ; to use within parameter values Ok _ is not there... but anyway you are not going to make searches with ... like 'something_' Must admit that I've been thrown by this one.. I've got no idea what's up with this.. gives me quite a lot more information. Even looks like when I upload different images, that it is different information (unlike previous attempts) Unfortunately, it still isn't producing the graphic that I'm looking for... Hmm.. I get raw code easily enough: http://pgs.ca/WLP/profiles/getimage-simple.php3?imageID=16 http://pgs.ca/WLP/profiles/getimage-simple.php3?imageID=17 http://pgs.ca/WLP/profiles/getimage-simple.php3?imageID=18 Which is generated by: mysql_connect($DBHOST, $DBUSER, $DBPASS); mysql_select_db($DATABASE); $resultset = mysql_query($query); $query = SELECT image FROM ztpv_images WHERE imageID = $imageID; $resultset = mysql_query($query); print(stripslashes(base64_decode(mysql_result($resultset, 0, Image; So I couldn't either view the file here.. or within a SRC=. See: http://pgs.ca/WLP/profiles/test.html Have you forgot to add: header (Content-Type: image/jpeg); You are right.. I had commented this out because I was getting an error that the header was already loaded.. I figured since I saw that in the database as well that it had been inserted and was now redundant. just before the print? If you have the type will be text/plain (or text/html or something). Add it just before anything gets outputed. So you want the new code to look like this (for what is now http://pgs.ca/WLP/profiles/getimage-simple.php3): mysql_connect($DBHOST, $DBUSER, $DBPASS); mysql_select_db($DATABASE); $resultset = mysql_query($query); header(Content-type: image/jpeg); $query = SELECT image FROM ztpv_images WHERE imageID = $imageID; $resultset = mysql_query($query); print(base64_decode(mysql_result($resultset, 0, Image))); Hadn't done the following before: doing a wget -s I got the replies from your scripts like: Content-Type: text/html Content-Type: image/jpeg No idea about this... Seems like taking out the add/remove slashes has elminated it from here: [mike@office admin]$ wget -s http://pgs.ca/WLP/profiles/getimage-simple.php3?imageID=20 --01:47

Ok.. I've got the source.. However, pulling the calendar out of php.net is a bit
trickier than it
seems.
I'm getting some results:

But it certainly wasn't built to allow other folks to easily incorporate this calendar
into their sites.
I suppose that they have had to conseal some things for the sake of security.
However, it is
proving to be a real nussance.. This has likely got all that I need for an event
calendar..
However, I can't add events (big pain).
It is just a bloody nussance to untangle.
I think I now have the authorization figured out.. The trouble I think is in this
line of code (and
it's sister Reject_Selected which follows shortly after:
if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Approve_Selected_x']) ||

foreach($entries as $entry=$val) {
$result = mysql_query(update phpcal set approved=1,

if(!$result) echo mysql_error();
}
}
This doesn't seem to be doing anything and I can not echo any results from:
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['Approve_Selected_y';
What the heck am I doing wrong here?

Sorry if I wasn't clear about this. You are right there is a linking table to

Hello,
I'm not sure if anyone else as the need for a php/MySQL based
bibliography, but
the application that I am developing (which is basically a module for
phpSlash)
is coming along fairly well. If anyone is interested in seeing the code I
can
bundle it up and send it out to them (still a long way from finished
mind). The
draft version of it is up and running here:
http://openconcept.ca/WLP/biblio/index.php3
I'm running into a couple problems though that I don't have the logic
language
for and I was hoping folks here could help me (as you have done in the
past).
The problem is that I've set up a many to many table to ensure that I can
have
an author be listed as writing many books and a book be written by many
authors.
However in listing the books as a bibliography (as the URL above), I want
to be
able to list multiple authors, and do so in a different format for the
first
author than for all subsequent ones.
I'm hoping to be able to produce output like this:
Young, D. and N. Dixon. Helping Leaders Take Effective Action: A Program
Evaluation. Greensboro, North Carolina: Center for Creative Leadership,
1996.
So, I think the first challenge should be to calculate which books have
multiple
authors by doing something like this (It's using phplib structures,
sorry):
$q2 = SELECT * FROM WLPbib2profile ORDER BY bibID;
$this-db-query($q2); // Performs above query
while ($this-db-next_record()) {
if ($this-db-Record[bibID] != $last_bibID) {
echo br . $this-db-Record[bibID] . : .
$this-db-Record[profileID];
} else { // Multiple Authors
echo , . $this-db-Record[profileID];
$multiple_profileID .= array ($this-db-Record[bibID] =
$this-db-Record[profileID]);
$multiple_profileID .= array($this-db-Record[bibID] =
yes);
}
$last_bibID = $this-db-Record[bibID];
}
}
With this I can then use the value $multiple_profileID to determine if
this
record has duplicates or not and use something like this to include both
authors
and not repeat the bibliography item:
if ($multiple_profileID[$bibID]==yes) {
while (list($key, $val) = each($multiple_profileID)) {
$written_by = $key . : . $val . br;
if ($this-db-Record[firstName]) {
$written_by .= stripslashes($this-db-Record[firstName]) . ;
}
if($this-db-Record[lastName]) {
$written_by .= stripslashes($this-db-Record[lastName]);
}
}
} else {
if($this-db-Record[lastName]) {
$written_by .= stripslashes($this-db-Record[lastName]) . , ;
}
if ($this-db-Record[firstName]) {
$written_by .= stripslashes($this-db-Record[firstName]);
}
}
But this seems really awkward (at the best of times) and (worst of all) it
isn't
working.
I've got another related problem in that I've set up the following fields
in one
table:
firstName
lastName
organization
and I need to be able to order them by a combination of lastName
organization.
I could list the organization field simply as the lastName, but that
seems
like it would be confusing the data types... Must be a way around this..
I
suspect it is limited by my logic not PHP's.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

while ($this-db-next_record()) {
if ($this-db-Record[bibID] != $last_bibID) {
echo br . $this-db-Record[bibID] . : .
$this-db-Record[profileID];
} else { // Multiple Authors
echo , . $this-db-Record[profileID];
$multiple_profileID = array ($this-db-Record[bibID] =
$this-db-Record[profileID]);
}
$last_bibID = $this-db-Record[bibID];
}
Now this produces results like this:
1 : 1
2 : 2, 3
3 : 4
4 : 5
5 : 6, 7
where the first number corresponds to the book and the second the author(s).
If there are multiple authors I would like the values for bibID and profileID to
be inserted into an array. This is outlined above.
I'd like to use something like this to produce the values of all of the authors
(profileID) associated with the respective book.
if ($multiple_profileID[$this-db-Record[bibID]]) {
while (list($key, $val) = each($multiple_profileID)) {
echo $key . : . $val . br;
}
}
I would hope that the result would be
2 : 2
2 : 3
5 : 6
5 : 7
I can then pull out the author's name using the profileID.
If someone has an idea of a better way to do this I'd be happy to hear it.
I can send code tables for those who might be interested.
Thanks!
Mike

[PHP] Joining a number of tables in a MySQL query
Hello, I'm trying to relate four tables within a single query and am running into difficulties. Heck, I don't even know if it is possible. Most of the explainations I see are for two tables, not four... So I'm trying to do something like this: SELECT address.city, address.state, bib.publisher, bib.title, bib.publicationDate, profile.firstName, profile.lastName, profile.organization, country.languageName FROMWLPbib bib JOIN ON WLPprofile profile USING (profileID) JOIN ON WLPaddress address USING (publisherID) JOIN ON WLPcountry country USING (countryID) I don't know how to express the following relationship in the query above: The tables WLPbib WLPprofile share the value profileID WLPbib and WLPaddress share the value publisherID WLPaddress and WLPcountry share the value countryID I also used JOIN ON, but didn't know if any of these others would be more appropriate: Cross Join select c.name, o.cid from orders o, clients c where o.cid = acm-042; equijoin select p.os, c.name from orders o, pcs p, clients c where p.pid=o.pid and o.pid = 1 and o.cid=c.cid; non-equijoin SELECT p.os, o.pid from orders o, pcs p where o.pid p.pid; Left Join select * from orders left join pcs on orders.pid = pcs.pid; select * from orders left join pcs on pcs.pid = 3 and orders.pid = pcs.pid; Using Option SELECT * from clients join on orders where clients.cid = orders.cid; SELECT * from clients join on orders using (cid); -- Mike Gifford, OpenConcept Consulting, http://openconcept.ca Offering everything your organization needs for an effective web site.

[PHP] Duplication Results When LEFT JOIN is Used Between Multiple Tables
Hello, I'm making some headway on joining three MySQL tables. (Thanks to responses from this list early this morning) However, when I run this query: mysql_query(SELECT WLPbib.bibID, WLPbib.title, WLPbib.publisher, WLPbib.publicationDate, WLPaddress.city, WLPaddress.state, WLPprofile.firstName, WLPprofile.lastName, WLPprofile.organization, WLPcountry.languageName FROM WLPbib LEFT JOIN WLPprofile ON WLPprofile.profileID = WLPbib.profileID LEFT JOIN WLPaddress ON WLPaddress.publisherID = WLPbib.publisherID LEFT JOIN WLPcountry ON WLPcountry.countryID = WLPaddress.countryID); I now get results in triplicate. ie. I'm getting three copies of the same title, firstName, organization, etc I somehow suspected that this should be the result with LEFT JOIN, but I'm not sure how to return a query without duplication. This is far better than what I had this morning (which was no response from the server). Thanks. I'm new to joining tables...

Hi Max, Maxim Maletsky wrote: not to give you the solution, but there's something you can simplify in your query: USING(field) I like the idea of using USING... however I've run into some problems. mysql_query(SELECT WLPbib.bibID, WLPbib.title, WLPbib.publisher, WLPbib.publicationDate, WLPaddress.city, WLPaddress.state, WLPprofile.firstName, WLPprofile.lastName, WLPprofile.organization, WLPcountry.languageName FROM WLPbib LEFT JOIN WLPprofile USING(profileID) LEFT JOIN WLPaddress USING(publisherID) LEFT JOIN WLPcountry USING(countryID)); simplier, right? Simpler yes, however it produces this error: MySQL Error: 1054 (Unknown column 'WLPprofile.publisherID' in 'on clause') Because although WLPbib is linked to WLPprofile WLPaddress it is not linked to WLPcountry. WLPaddress needs to be linked to WLPcountry. How does one specify that? as of your problem, let me think, I had the same problem couple month ago. I'll look int omy codes. I hear ya.. Somewhere, within which project lies the answer (likely).. Now which one? :) Thanks for looking into it.

[PHP] Inserting the date into MySQL via PHP
Hello,
This is a really simple (looking) problem, but I can't seem to find the solution
in the documentation. I want to insert today's date into a MySQL Date field.
My first attempt was to use the following:
$insert = mysql_query(insert into dbrss (Feed, Title, URL, Abstract, Old)
VALUES ('$Feed','$Title','$URL',NOW(),',$db);
The relevant table was created with the following:
CREATE TABLE dbrss (
ID int(7) NOT NULL auto_increment,
Feed varchar(50) NOT NULL,
Title varchar(255) NOT NULL,
URL varchar(255) NOT NULL,
Abstract varchar(255),
superRSS varchar(50),
Type varchar(50),
Old date,
Source varchar(100),
SourceURL varchar(100),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
I also tried to insert a date generated by:
$Date = date(Y-m-d);
using the following variation:
$insert = mysql_query(insert into dbrss (Feed, Title, URL, Abstract, Old)
VALUES ('$Feed','$Title','$URL','$Date',',$db);
Any help would be appreciated.

please forgive me if your typo concerns only your posting, but you didn't close your

Then, the order of the data in the second parenthesis doesn't match that in the
first one (which it has to).
So the correct way to do it would be:
$insert = mysql_query(insert into dbrss (Feed, Title, URL, Abstract, Old) VALUES
('$Feed','$Title','$URL','$Abstract',NOW()),$db);
Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] PHP XML Parsing
Hello Fabian,
This was very helpful. Thanks for letting me know about this little glitch.
It almost resolves the problem that I was having. Now I no longer get xml
errors. However, I'm not able to output the XML either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. The updated code is available here:

And I've included the full script in the email (at the very bottom of this message).
Thanks.

Just yesterday I discovered a program called XML Spy which you can get on a
30-day eval from www.tucows.com. This was what pointed out the error to me
in your file.
Interesting.. So to be consistent with proper XML formatting, should the server
hosting the XML file convert the into amp; ?
When I was using XSL last year for the first time, I had a devil of a time
figuring out how to get URLs, particularly with query strings attached,
through the XML parsers. Try using the %codes in your URLs instead of and
other special characters; that should help, if I remember correctly.
(Similarly, building HREF tags using XSL stylesheets seemed pretty awkward,
but I'm sure I was missing some crucial tidbit of information.)
I certainly feel like I'm missing something... Although I'm a bit at odds as to how
to troubleshoot this new file.
I no longer get the errors, but I'm not getting the results I'm looking for either.
The updated script is running here:

Hello, In looking for a good script to parse XML files I stumbled across the following tutorial (which looks very good): http://www.wirelessdevnet.com/channels/wap/features/xmlcast_php.html I have set this script up here: http://www.airdiv-cupe.org/portal/newsfeed_new_parser.php and I keep getting the following error (even after making a number of changes): XML error: not well-formed at line 16 And I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. I'm assuming that it is referring to line 16 on the XML file, in this case: http://cupe.ca/xml/cupenews.rdf My parsing definitions are as follows $itemTitleKey = ^rdf^item^title; $itemLinkKey = ^rdf^item^link; $itemDescKey = ^rdf^item^description; Any help would be appreciated.

[PHP] Managing Multiple Conditions in a MySQL Query
Hello,
I'd like to verify two conditions are true in the results that I pull out of my
MySQL database. In this case I wanted Verified and Public both to be listed as
'yes' in the DB before they were displayed. The code I tried to use is as follows:
?php
echo pRecent Signatures\nbremUL;
$individuals_query = mysql_query(SELECT FirstName,LastName,CityState FROM
phPetition WHERE Public='yes',Verified='yes' ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0,5);
while ($individuals_array = mysql_fetch_array($individuals_query)) {
echo LI . stripslashes($individuals_array[FirstName]) . .
stripslashes($individuals_array[LastName]) . from .
stripslashes($individuals_array[CityState]);
}
However, it gave me the following error:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/usr/local/rabble/petition/index.php3 on line 89
How do I get around this?

[PHP] Win Apache/PHP config triping up virtual directory
Hello, I have been working to develop the Back-end CMS on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/back-end/ I'm running into a bit of a difficulty though folks trying to run the code in a windows environment. To get around the problem with search engines tripping over the ?'s the latest code is now using virtual directories to pass the category and article ID. It looks better and provides a shorter URL as well! Unfortunately, it is harder for folks to understand. Especially when they are trying to install this at home on a local windows machine rather than on a linux server I suspect that either Apache or PHP hasn't been configured correctly as this works on the windows servers: http://127.0.0.1/main_file.php?/Articles/4/ but this does not: http://127.0.0.1/main_file.php/Articles/4/ The latter has no problems like this on a number of other servers. I set up this test script to output the various variables that would be called on in this script: http://www.openconcept.on.ca/htdocs/main_file_test.php/Articles/4 In the servers that are providing the errors, neither the Category variables or the Article ID's show up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Mike -- Mike Gifford, OpenConcept Consulting, http://openconcept.ca Offering everything your organization needs for an effective web site.

Re: [PHP] Building an array from a URL
Hi Joe,
this would be useful if I wanted to write to a URL, but I need to read from it.
Perhaps I wasn't clear in this.

[PHP] Parsing XML CDF format in PHP3 - Stumbling over ?
Hello,
For some reason I am now having real difficulties removing and parsing some XML
files. I think that if I can just strip out the ? ? that I should be able
to parse the XML (.CDF) file. This should do it:
$pagetext = eregi_replace('?','',$pagetext);
$pagetext = eregi_replace('?','',$pagetext);
I've attached the whole CDF file at the bottom of this message. However, I
think that the following should strip out the offending part as well:
$pagetext = eregi_replace('.*/TITLE','',$pagetext);
Unfortunately, for some reason it just isn't working for me. I have other
scripts working just fine using similar code (on the same page). However, this
just isn't working for me today.
Any suggestions on what I'm overlooking would be great.

[PHP] Email validation
Hello Again,
Can anyone tell me what the best form of Email validation there is? It needs to
be quick as open to - and . as possible.
I've seen the following:
?
if (eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*$",
$Email)) {
$error = 1;
$error_html .= "This email address is invalid: " . $Email;
echo $error_html;
}
?
But this one looks quite impressive too:
?
function checkaddress($mail) {
if ( !ereg( "^([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+) ([.,_]
([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+))*[@] ([0-9,a-z,A-Z]+)([.,_,-]([0-9,a-z,A-Z]
+))*[.]([0-9,a-z,A-Z]){2}([0-9,a-z,A-Z])?$", $mail ) ) {
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
?
Not sure which is the best.

Re: [PHP] PHP/MySQL Control Structures - if (mysql_query())
Hi David,
I counted the number of rows using mysql_numrows(), but I've been told that
count() is way faster. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get count working.. Any
ideas?
?php
echo mysql_numrows(mysql_query("select * FROM phPetition",$db));
// This should be faster, but doesn't seem to work
// echo count(mysql_query("select * FROM phPetition",$db));
?
David Robley wrote:
$same_Email_query is a pointer to a result set from the query and will
always be true if the query succeeded - where succeeded means something
like 'returned 0 or more matching rows'
What you need to do is check how many matching rows are returned by your
query; if there are zero rows, the value doesn't exist in the database.
Great advice. This worked, therefore eliminating duplicates:
$same_Email_query = mysql_numrows(mysql_query("SELECT Email FROM phPetition
WHERE Email='" . $Email . "'"));
if($same_Email_query!=0){
$error = 1;
$error_html .= "This email \"" . $Email . "\" has already been used to sign
the petition.brbr\n";
}
Shouldn't $individuals_array[ be $sameIP_array[ ? Consider using extract;
if nothing else it makes code easier to read :-)
This was a neat little solution with the extract code. I found that it started
to mess up my existing scripts so I threw it in a function to keep the variables
from getting mixed up.
?
function recent_signatures () {
$individuals_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM phPetition ORDER BY ID DESC
LIMIT 0,5");
while ($individuals_array = mysql_fetch_array($individuals_query)) {
echo "LI" . stripslashes($individuals_array["FirstName"]) . " " .
stripslashes($individuals_array["LastName"]) . " from " .
stripslashes($individuals_array["CityState"]);
$last_email=$individuals_array["Email"];
}
$sameIP_query = mysql_query("SELECT FirstName,LastName,CityState,IPAddress FROM
phPetition WHERE IPAddress='" . getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') . "' ORDER BY LastName");
if (mysql_numrows($sameIP_query) != 0) {
echo "pThe following individuals have signed this petition from the same IP:
" . getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') . "br";
while ($sameIP_array = mysql_fetch_array($sameIP_query)) {
extract ($sameIP_array);
echo "LI" . stripslashes($FirstName) . " " . stripslashes($LastName) . "

// echo "LI" . stripslashes($sameIP_array["FirstName"]) . " " .
