Re: [PHP] Re: Search like php.net's URL thingy
Why is an ErrorDocument insufficient or not the elegant way?
It accomplishes the goal in a clean way, no?
It's *WRONG*. ErrorDocument still preserves the 404 error code, it just
gives it a prettier face. If the page really is there, returning a 404 for
it is not correct. Search engines will not index it. You probably don't
want that.
You may set it... so for example:
header('HTTP/1.1 200 OK');

Philip
Re: [PHP] Re: Search like php.net's URL thingy [0.T]
Hello, php.net uses a 404 error handler for this, and most mirrors store url data in an sqlite database. A simple $_SERVER dump in your 404 page will show you which variables are available. Regards, Philip
[PHP] Request for work on the php.net FAQs
Hello everyone,
The PHP manual FAQ has not received much attention over these past
few years, so it's outdated. This needs to be fixed.
If you would like to add questions (and ideally, with answers) to the
FAQ then please do so by either adding them to this thread, or point
them out, and if you would like to work on the manual itself then
please read the HOWTO: http://doc.php.net/php/dochowto/
Note: Each extension will now have its own FAQ, which means the more
the merrier. So the URLs will be php.net/{extension}/faq.
Note: Questions and Answers should stand the test of time, e.g., not
require editing with every PHP version.
Regards,
Philip

Re: [PHP] Register globals and ini_set
If i use, at the beginning of my scripts,
ini_set('register_globals', 0), register globals will be
turned off?
if you have php = 4.2.3 yes, otherwise no.
it has to be set in php.ini, .htaccess, or httpd.conf
You may NEVER set register_globals at runtime with
ini_set() regardless of PHP version.

Re: [PHP] Splitting Vars from MySQL in PHP

Re: [PHP] Can I use $_REQUEST for file uploads?
Thanks for the reponse. I tested again, but it was not the problem with ENCTYPE. I am getting file with $_FILES. I think this is due to CGI configuration if not with php.ini. Because when I check the version by using PHP -v command, it shows 4.3.10 (cgi) but when check that using phpinfo() function, it is showing as PHP 4.2.2. Why the difference? I am working in that view to find the solution. Currently I got a temporary solution. I am jsut copying from $_FILES to $_REQUEST at the very begining of the script. Because I can't change all the scripts now. Because you have two different versions of PHP installed. In otherwords, the CGI version and most likely the module version. Now to answer your question, here's a quote from the PHP Manual: Note: Prior to PHP 4.3.0, $_FILES information was also included in $_REQUEST. So, $_FILES is no longer part of $_REQUEST.

Re: [PHP] ODBC Errors and Undefined functions
Oh and Jay... since no one else has found the answer it would be nice if you could post your solution here when / if you find it. Accoding to the source, these two functions require something to exist: #ifdef PHP_ODBC_HAVE_FETCH_HASH PHP_FUNCTION(odbc_fetch_array); PHP_FUNCTION(odbc_fetch_object); #endif Elsewhere in the source is this: #if defined(HAVE_DBMAKER) || defined(PHP_WIN32) || defined(HAVE_IBMDB2) || defined(HAVE_UNIXODBC) # define PHP_ODBC_HAVE_FETCH_HASH 1 #endif So you need to meet one of the above requirements to have those two functions available.

Re: [PHP] Is a PECL a black whole?
It took me a while to find an explanation of what a PECL is. I kept
reading
comments about things being moved to a PECL but I saw nothing about what
is
in a PECL or how to get anything out of a (the?) PECL. As far as I knew,
there is a danger of all of PHP being in a PECL.
There is documentation on the way for what to do with these PECL
extension on how to install and upgrade them.
Perhaps you did not read everything I said, since there is more to what I
said than what you quoted, and in the other part of what I said, I did say
there is documentation as you say. Is that more or less muddy?
So in other words, yes, there is documentation. The point I was making is
that the documentation is not as easy to find as it could be. So the issue
is not about use of PECL as much as it is use of the PHP documentation to
find the PECL (documentation).
All PECL extensions are or will be documented at php.net/manual/ but
currently this is not the case, for several reasons, most notably lack
of people to create said documentation. While the current state is
less than ideal, don't think it's how it will continue to be nor how
it's intended to be. And eventually links to this documentation will
exist at pecl.php.net/{extname}, there is an open bug report on this.
No, PECL is not a black hole, but it is a new hole looking to be filled.

RE: [PHP] Fatal error: Call to undefined function
It's been awhile since I've done php on Windows, but I think you have to uncomment the mysql dll in the php.ini file (make sure you're editing the right one as per phpinfo), and restart your web server. Thanks, John. I have the line uncommented, am editing php.ini in my winnt directory and have restarted the server. No magic, yet. And make sure libmysql.dll is available in your systems PATH and a nice way to do that is adding the PHP dir to your PATH but a less cool way would be to copy libmysql.dll into the Windows sytem directory because that directory is in the PATH. Don't do that though.. The manual talks about all of this, read the installation section: http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php It says how to set your PATH (via system environmetn variables) and the MySQL documentation also refers to all of this: http://www.php.net/mysql Both of the above manual pages link to related FAQs so read those as well.

Re: [PHP] Cannot Load DLLs (WinXP, Apache 2, PHP 5)
I can't get PHP to load php_mysql.dll, required to use the mysql_*() functions. I have tried a variety of values for extension_dir, including C:/php/ext, C:\php\ext, C:\php\, ./ext/, ext/. I have copied php_mysql to all these directories, but it is not loading it. PHP is stored in C:/php, and works perfectly apart from not finding the MySQL dll file. If you could advise me for how to get PHP to load this DLL, I would be very grateful! This was just disussed a few days ago. Copy the libmysql.dll file **that comes with PHP5** into the windows/system32/ directory. New installation instructions exist that recommend never copying any files to the Windows system directory. It's preferred to leave all files in the PHP directory and make it (the PHP folder) available to the systems PATH by editing the appropriate system environment variable. People copy files into the Windows system directory because it's in the PATH so no additional setup is required. Do not fall into this trap. Add the PHP directory to your PATH as doing so will make the world a better place. The updated manual is as follows: http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php If setup this way the above problem would not exist, PHP will find libmysql.dll.

Re: [PHP] Is there a brian I can pick?
I've run into a small bump in some code I'm writing for a membership
database. The first thing that needs to be done is an index of all

information is stored as the abbreviation in the database (ie MI, WI)
and the HTML page needs to display the full name of the State. I want to
display the information in a four column table that kicks out as many
rows as needed. Now in order to get the full name of the state, I'm
running the state result through a switch statement. Actaully, it's
working rather well expect for this little issue:
Row 8: South Dakota Tennessee Texas Virgina
Row 9: West Virgina Wisconsin Texas Virgina
I need to kill that extra Texas and Virgina.here's how I'm doing this:
table border=1
?
$query=mysql_query(SELECT DISTINCT state FROM members WHERE
country='US' ORDER BY state ASC);
Try something more like this:
table
tr
?php
// Assuming this ($statenames) is a full list
// and that uppercase appreviations come from the DB
// and that you implement error handling
$statenames = array('WA' = 'Washington', 'OR' = 'Oregon');
$i = 1;
$count = mysql_num_rows($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
echo \ttd. $statenames[$row['state']] ./td\n;
if (($i % 4) === 0 $count !== $i++) {
echo /tr\ntr\n;
}

Re: [PHP] stripslashes() when reading from the DB
I usually stripslashes() when I read the info from the database (MySQL).
Because the information was inserted after adding slashes, or the
system has magic_quotes_gpc set to ON.
I'd like to know, if I can do stripslashes() directly, as it is suposed
that all data was inserted into DB after slashing the vars. I mean,
should I check or not before if magic_quotes_gpc are on ?
As I know, magic_quotes_gpc has nothing to do with info readed from the
DB, as it only affects Get/Post/Cookie values.
I think to make a check like this:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT );
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
foreach ($row as $key = $value) {
$row[$key] = stripslashes($value);
}
But not sure if it really necessary, as i'm getting some confusing results.
What you *should* be doing is check for magic quotes when inserting into the DB.
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = mysql_real_escape_string($value);
}
$query = 'INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES ('.$value.')';
mysql_query($query);
To add further comment. If you're required to run stripslashes() on
data coming out of your database then you did something wrong. Your
code would have essentially looked like the following before insertion:
$var = addslashes(addslashes($var));
Where 'magic_quotes_gpc = on' essentially executed one of those
addslashes(). The above use of get_magic_quotes_gpc() shows you
how to add slashes just once thus not having a bunch of \' type
badness inside your database. Remember backslashes are only
added to make proper strings for db insertion so the backslashes
should never actually make it into the database.

Philip

Re: [PHP] Malicious SQL
on the contrary: sql = mysql_query(select * from users where name='.$name.'); will simply look for a user with a name of Jim; delete from users; and return no results found. But I can also enter: jim'; delete from users You need to catch if there's a quote in the $name too, and escape that. One thing to remember is mysql_query() will execute just one (the first) query so use of ; won't do anything in the above except break the query. Still though the point is well taken, be sure to add slashes (once) and put single quotes around the criteria ($name) and life will be grand. Quotes around numerical values won't hurt (such as id = '$id') although it's not required. If you choose not to do that then be sure it's numerical before use (like cast it as an int, or check is_numeric(), etc. ...). Some people check for ';' in the request variable and if found yell at the user, that can be fun. bugs.php.net does this. In regards to the controversial magic_quotes_gpc PHP directive, I feel it should remain on by default but if you know what you're doing then set it yourself. Scripts that work everywhere should of course work perfectly with it on or off. php.ini-dist (the default php.ini) has it on while the php.ini-recommended has it off. You must know what you're doing to use the 'recommended' version of php.ini. PHP is a newbie friendly language and newbies are for the most part clueless and don't know what strings or integers are, or why data should be escaped, or what data validation is or why it's important. This is why magical quotes exist as without them just think how many people would keep getting malicious SQL in their code and blame PHP, or how seemingly random SQL syntax errors would crop up. For these reasons dealing with Why do I get \' everywhere type questions is worth it, and why magic_quotes_gpc exists as a php.ini directive.

hated register_globals PHP directive so you have the following
options to mimick the above behavior:
1) Upgrade PHP! (preferred)
2) Turn on register_globals in php.ini or .htaccess
3) Use extract() on various $HTTP_*_VARS variables
Ideally you'd upgrade PHP and use either the superglobals
and/or use import_requests_variables() by using its second
parameter, something like:
import_request_variables('gpc', 'r_');
echo $r_somevariable;
Adding the prefix is a good idea here as you will KNOW these
variables came via the REQUEST as opposed to being
somewhere from within your script. Why do you want to
know this? Read:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php
So in short you really should upgrade PHP and then use these
request variables as explained here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

Re: [PHP] Help with array / list looping syntax
I need some help with a looping syntax. In english, a is used before
words that begin with consonants - an is used before words that start
with vowels. I'm trying to create a loop that checks this state and inserts
the correct word in the echo line. Below is the sloppy version of what I'm
trying to do...
?php
if (substr($table['field'], 0, 1)==a) OR (substr($table['field'], 0,
1)==e) OR (substr($table['field'], 0, 1)==i) OR
(substr($table['field'], 0, 1)==u) OR (substr($table['field'], 0,
1)==y) }
echo 'Member has an ' . $table['field'] . ' who is...';
} else {
echo 'Member has a ' . $table['field'] . 'who is...';
}
?
There's got to a cleaner way to do this. Perhaps using a list or array
containing the vowels and steping through it checking the first letter of
the field contents against each member of the list. But, I don't know how
to code this system. Please help.
How about this?
$vowels = array('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u');
echo 'Member has a'.(in_array($table['field'][0], $vowels) ? 'n' :
'').' '.$table['field'].' who is...';
Yet another solution (just for fun):
$vowels = 'aeiou';
if (false !== strpos($vowels,strtolower($table['field']{0}))) echo 'n';

Re: [PHP] string function that adds before and after
There's a number of functions in PHP that will give me the position of
the *first* instance of the matched string, but it doesn't look like the
function would keep searching after the first match. Anyway, am I
overlooking a function that already has the functionality that I'm
searching for? Or does anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this
efficiently since my search strings can be quite long?
try this
preg_replace('/(weather)/i', strong$1/strong, 'This is the worst
weather ever. Weather around
here is terrible. ')
Thanks Matt. I think that will do the trick. Let me see if I
understand it correctly. the i will make the search case-INsensitive,
and the parenthesis around weather will store what it finds in the
variable $1? Is that right?
Also consider str_replace() as it's faster albeit case
sensitive. str_ireplace() exists in PHP 5. Just another
option, I'm surprised you didn't find it when looking
around strpos() and friends.
Your assumptions above are correct, sorry Matt for stepping
in! :) I prefer cold weather.

I tried that exact code from the code you included and I cut and pasted the Simple HTML Form, and below that I pasted the Accessing Data... php code. When I go to the page, all it does after I hit the submit button with data in the fields, is say no input file specified. But when I run it through the url giving the input names with values, it returns them. I tried getting it working with like ten people so far, and no one's been able to figure out... I am running PHP 4.3.4, btw. Be sure you rename the action part of the simple html form to whatever page you are using, instead of foo.php, as otherwise it will literally attempt to access foo.php I'm guessing this is what's happening by seeing no input file specified. Either fix that or on that same manual page is the example titled More complex form variables, this prints to itself as it demonstrates a use of the popular $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable. Also, it's important you realize the difference between POST and GET, and how to access them, so you may want to read that manual page too.

Re: [PHP] Looking for Spam free php form
I am looking for a canned php form which hides the recipient email from prying eyes. Everything I have found uses a hidden field. If you only need the email address on the back end, why not encode it (using your flavor of choice) and stick that value in the hidden field. Then, upon submission, just decode and use. Maybe I am misreading this question but why not just use id's instead. For example, in your database you might have: id name email 1 john [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2 fred [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the form you use the names, and unique ids, and the backend will get the email addresses from the ids. This way they choose names to send to but don't see the email addresses. Regards, Philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Old version of PHP
Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

Re: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
Your script should work fine, and to fix claims made in this thread: a) $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is NOT an array, it's a string. b) It does not live in $_SERVER, or rely on register_globals. Your code is wrong because you don't provide names for your fields, so there is no POST data. Assign your text field a name, and your submit field a name, and it will work. Also, keep in mind that $PHP_SELF existing requires the PHP directive register_globals to be on.

Have you checked your log file, usually there is an error in the log

again i have checked all the files for any space left that could be causing

This usually happens when non http headers are sent to the server when
it wasnt expecting them, php should be handling this. But to check this
make sure you try sending out a header('Content-Type: text/plain') first
thing in the script then dont do a redirect and see if some text is
showing up that shouldn't be.

RE: [PHP] $_POST problem
The only time you want to use {braces} like that is
when you are in a string. None of the suggestions
here are in strings, so the use of {braces} is bogus.
The following is good:
echo Hello {$there['friend']} is good;
Note how we're in a string. This topic is very much
discussed (with loads of examples) here:
http://www.php.net/types.string
Regarding the question in this thread, it's not clear
what you're problem is. If the form is method POST,
and you have at least PHP version 4.1.0, there is a
100% chance that the name/value will live in $_POST.
input type=text name=foo
echo $_POST['foo'];
Not sure what the question is, could you be a little
more clear? It seems you are mixing up img_keywords
and new_keywords, maybe that's it. Debugging101
would say to check what's in $_POST, which could be:
print_r($_POST);

Subject: [PHP] $_POST problem
Anyone see what when I submit this, I can't do a $_POST on it? I
check with the DB first to see if there is a value and if so, I
fill it, otherwise, it will return a blank for the user to fill if
they want.
input type=text name=keywords value=?php
echo($new_keywords);
? size=53 maxlength=500
On the page that it goes to when it is submitted, the post looks
like this:
$img_keywords = trim($_POST[keywords]);
thanks

Re: [PHP] print vs heredoc
As to which is faster is does not really matter as the speed of echo print and heredoc is dictated by the connection speed to the requesting client. If this is a factor in your overall operation you can use output buffering to save the contents and output them at the end of your script. Although really, heredoc can't be compared to either echo or print, as it's just a string definition that eventually will be printed. So I guess you guys are really comparing vs heredoc? And I agree that any speed difference (if there is one) isn't a good reason to choose when readablity may suffer. So it all depends on the situation, and the programmer. btw what would be nice is a print_raw command that does no parsing just sends the stuff :) (Would be good for template systems where you know there is no php hidden in there.) ... might gain a couple of micro seconds I believe this is called breaking out of PHP mode and into HTML mode, which can be done anywhere, at any time.

Re: [PHP] Reading from remote file
This is already fixed in CVS. The entire example is bogus,
it should not be using filesize($filename) either.
Here's what's in CVS (the manual will be rebuilt sometime
in the next week):
?php
$handle = fopen (http://www.example.com/;, rb);
$contents = ;
do {
$data = fread($handle, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
} while(true);
fclose ($handle);
?
And the whole point is to demonstrate the following note:
When reading from network streams or pipes, such as those
returned when reading remote files or from popen() and
proc_open(), reading will stop after a packet is available.
This means that you should collect the data together in
chunks as shown in the example below.
Have fun :)

Philip

Hi guys,
I am trying to read from a remote file, by using an example reported at the
manual page for the fread function:
?php

do {
$data = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename));
if (strlen($data) == 0) {

fclose ($handle);
?
Unfortunately this example is incorrect, as it gives me a parse error. The
mistake should be in the fact that there is a do keyword without a
while.
Would anyone suggest me the correct version?

It works fine, you are using different code then the above.
In your actual code, make sure you pass in an array that
exists, as currently you are not.
One example reason, the foreach is inside a function and
$champs isn't available in the functions scope (global).
At any rate, before your foreach, var_dump($champs) and
it'll let you know what is up.

p.s. In case $row is an array, you actually mean to write
it as $row[$key], but this is unrelated to the error that
foreach is providing.

Re: [PHP] Q on echo phpinfo() ;
You may set the location of php.ini by using the PHPRC environment variable or during ./configure use the --with-config-file-path directive. Maybe you should just copy a php.ini into the directory PHP is looking for it in, which appears to be C:\WINNIT. If PHP was actually reading a php.ini, you would have instead seen it as C:\WINNIT\php.ini as opposed to just a directory path. So because no php.ini is being read, PHP is using all default values as per a stock php.ini-dist. http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.phpini Regards, Philip On Sat, 5 Jul 2003, jsWalter wrote: I ran this as a script from my Apache and it gave me a beautiful web page just full of wonderful information!

Let's explain this thing with the superglobals now once again .. so that
everybody knows it ...
In newer versions of PHP some superglobal arrays are available...
$_GET[] - For any variable passed through the query string (in the URL,
or address bar in a http://www.domain.com/page.php?foo=barfoo2=bar2 syntax)
but also fields submitted through a form with a tag like FORM method=GET
$_POST[]- For any field submitted from a form with tag like FORM
method=POST
$_COOKIE[] - For any cookie set and available for the script you're
running.
---
$_REQUEST[] - Merges the above three together. I think I mentioned them in
the default order of importance. Post overriding cookie, get overriding
post.
$_FILES[] - Also for information send by a form, but now only the INPUT
type=FILE name=fieldname entries are listed. Remember to use this kind
of form tag: form enctype=multipart/form-data action=_URL_
method=post .. espeically method=post and enctype=multipart/form-data
are essential. Prior to PHP4.3 the $_FILES superglobal was also included in
$_REQUEST, but don't rely on that to happen since it will make your scripts
fail in a newer version and have you look for a bug which is almost
impossible to find.
$_SESSION[] - Session vars set. When using $_SESSION, you should not use
session_start() of functions like that. A session usually exists untill a
user closes his/her browser window. Or 30 minutes has expired, whatever
comes first. (The 30 minutes is a setting in php.ini and can be overriden,
if i'm right about that)
$_ENV[] - info about the user's default shell, homedir and stuff like
that. The user as which your PHP script is running on the server, that is.
NOT the user visiting your page.
$_SERVER[] - info about the server and the script which is running.. For
example $_SERVER['php_self'] gives you the filename of the script,
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] for the apache basic authentication username..
-
So, now I hope this has been cleared out for everybody.. And that I'll still
be in time to see my fav bands play at ParkPop, one of the biggest free open
air pop festivals I think in Europe.. just around the corner of my house
here in The Hague.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 with MySQL on windows
Hello Janet- Currently you have two choices: a) Compile PHP 5 on Windows yourself, with MySQL support b) Wait for a DLL to exist There isn't a DLL right now, nor do I know when one will exist. But, you can be pretty sure that one will eventually exist, especially before PHP 5 is officially released. PHP 5 beta 1 was released today, there isn't a MySQL DLL in there either. In PHP 4, MySQL is of course built in. That all changed in PHP 5 where it's no longer built in to the Windows binaries, nor is it bundled or enabled by default in *nix.

Re: [PHP] mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a validMySQL result resource
It has to do with you assuming everything will work 100% of the time. It won't. mysql_query() returns false on failure, check for that.

As you are not yet understanding what register_globals is and
btw it has nothing to do with the global keyword. I am guessing
the above will show register_globals off and the variables you

for why, it should explain all of this to you.

Any tip??
I think you are mixing the layer and native functions.
You should use ONE of these, either the layer from phpnuke OR
the native functions.
I don't know how the layer handles the results but from the layout you had it looks
just wrong.
The standard-way using native mysql_*-functions for a select (with some basic
error checking) is as follows:
It's one way, not standard imho :) My additions below are of
course just one way out of many. In a production environment
you won't be printing out mysql errors, or sql statements, but
instead will give the user some pretty error. The code below
is for a development environment and doesn't include a debug
mode.
The reason I use @ is because we are implementing our own
error handling so having PHP print out the errors too isn't
needed. So choose one or the other, PHP's errors or your
own, or, turn down error reporting for the entire script
but I'll just use @.
The reason for the error is your are assuming $result is
a valid MySQL result resource when it's not, it's most
likely boolean false because for some reason (like the
connection failed, couldn't select database, invalid
query, etc) it's not valid. phpnuke is known for having
crappy code so that's unfortunate for you but anyway the
words below will explain how to avoid this error, or why
it may exist.
[... connection and so on ...]
Making sure the connection and database selection works is
pretty important too:
$conn = @mysql_connect(host, user, pass);
if (!$conn) {
echo Could not connect to MySQL;
exit;
}
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]('dbname')) {
echo Could not select database: . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$result = mysql_query(select * from ...);
if(!mysql_error()) {
echo mysql_error();
}
Instead of calling mysql_error() twice, it's more common
and efficient to check the return value of mysql_query()
(in this case we put it in $result) as mysql_query returns
boolean false on failure:
$sql = SELECT foo, bar FROM sometable;
if (!$result = @mysql_query($sql)) {
echo Could not run query ($sql): . mysql_error();
exit;
}
And next, before fetching rows, make sure there are actually
rows to fetch. Instead of my silly echo statement, consider
including the search form again, or have them press the
back button, or whatever:
if (mysql_num_rows($result) 1) {
echo No results match your query, please try again;
exit;
}
Now it's finally time to fetch some rows as we now know that
$result is a valid mysql resource and rows exist. This is
the basic idea of checking if everything worked instead of
just assuming everything will be perfect 100% of the time
because it won't.
Regards,
Philip
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
[... output ...]
}
You are either not transferring the result-identifier correctly or your query
returns an error.

Re: [PHP] file upload script
What PHP version? You should rewrite your code to more
reflect what's being used in the manual.
a) use move_uploaded_file() and not copy()
b) check what ['error'] has to say
c) set action in the form
d) print_r($_FILES) is great for debugging
e) only show the form is it's not yet submitted,
or at least print something only if the form
hasn't yet submitted so you know... debug. As
for all know, $Submit may never be set.
