We are currently looking to put a very sizable document on a website so
that it will be easily. The document is currently maintained by a
single user in a MS Word format. Ideally it would be very nice if the
index would take the user to the index of the appropriate section of the
document, which would then drill down to the exact contents of that
section. The document should also be easily updateable, via her web
browser, by the user that has been tasked with maintaining the manual.
Any suggestions for the design of such a project would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA

I would recommend applying a simple templating system to the file. Anything
that needs to be extracted out of the page for navigation purposes will be
enclosed in special characters such as a chapter title.. [:chapter =
"CHAPTER 2: Beating a Dead Horse":]. A very simple script parses the file
and extracts these strings to build an interactive Table of Contents.

I hate to say it, but the easiest way to maintain this might just be to
do all of the hyperlinking from within Word, with its own
function/buttons, etc, and then save the Word document as HTML. Yeah,
it'll be bloated and crappy HTML, but it'll load into a browser. Then,
when she needs to update it, she just updates the word document, and
resaves it as HTML format in the web root...

1. Download from http://mysql.com
2. Follow the instructions in the download.
If you get stuck, you've *GOT* to say which *VERSION* of Windows, since they
are all too damn different. :-)

First, thanks to the people who've helped me so far.
I'm a UI designer who's suddenly found himself responsible for a very large
website that integrates services from no less than four different providers,
and I've been dumped into learning PHP on my own under a heavy deadline.
Anyway, I'm catching data from a form post and writing an XML document out
of it. That's done, the server can process the XML correctly. But, from
there, I need that file to be appended to a POST to a script on another
server for processing. I've tried looking up how this is accomplished, and
Richard Lynch was kind enough to point me in the direction of PostToHost,
which got me off to a jump start on how to find more information.
So now I'm at a point where I need help.
After opening the socket, can I declare a multi-part POST and then start
sending the data? Such as:
fputs($fp, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x\n");
fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="variable1"\n");
fputs($fp, "\n");
fputs($fp, "Variable 1 Data\n");
fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files";
filename="myFile.xml"\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Type: text/plain\n");
fputs($fp, "\n");
fputs($fp, "... contents of myFile.xml ...\n");
fputs($fp, "--AaB03x--\n");
And again, I've only been doing PHP a week, so if I'm following a totally
wrong track here, feel free to smack me around.
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

That looks quite reasonable, EXCEPT:
It's *POSSIBLE* that "Aa03x" will be *IN* the document... I'd choose a
longer and more random boundary, and maybe even be 100% sure by using
something like this:
$myfile = file('/full/path/to/myFile.xml') or die("Could not open
myFile.xml");
$myfile = implode('', $myfile);
$boundary = md5(uniqid(''));
# Hey, the odds are one in a zillion, but why not?
while (strstr($myfile, $boundary)){
$boundary = md5(uniqid(''));
}
And I think you need a different boundary for *EACH* part of the multipart
stuff... But maybe that's just me thinking wrongly...
Other than that, I'm guessing that you *MIGHT* need to somehow "escape" the
contents of the data...
I dunno if browsers and web-servers expect that data to be uuencoded, or
base64 encoded, or anything like that... But if they do, and you don't do
that, well, it ain't gonna work. PHP has the functions for doing it, I just
don't know if you need them or which one...
But you're definitely on the right track, and you're down to minutia at this
point.

This _could_ be happening because you're viewing the data using different
systems and software. Each has it's own character sets. This could throw
things off, making the output LOOK different, even when it's the same.

The website could be running PHP as an Apache module (or some other
binary) while the command line uses a standalone binary. They could be
using different php.ini files. They could be different versions.

Hello all,
I am very new to PHP and I have added some minor PHP to my website. I
would like to make a PHP calander to keep track of things going on. Could
someone tell me how I can get the first day of every month.
For Example:
01 Jul 2002 was a Monday.
01 Mar 2002 will be a Thursday
I need the dates to start my tables so they insert the numbers in the right
day.
Thanks,
Attila
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
$today = date("w"); // $today will result in '1'
$today = date("D"); // $today will result in 'Mon'
$today = date("l"); // $today will result in 'Monday'
Now if you wanted to feed the script something like this:
$string = "01 Jul 2002";
$today = date("l",strtotime($string));
This will result in the long textual day of '01 Jul 2002', so 'Monday' or if
you interchange the "l" in the first part of the date function with "w" you
will get the the day of the week, numeric, i.e. "0" (Sunday) to "6"
(Saturday) or if you use "D" you will get the short textual day so 'Mon'
I hope all of that makes sense to you. Check out the php manual for the
function date and strtotime.

$yr= date (Y);

$string = "$dy $mnth $yr";

You could use mktime() with date, too...
$first_day = date("w",mktime(0,0,1,$month,1,$year));
Set your $month and $year accordingly.

I dont think Apache 2 or php 4.3.x are meant for production boxes..
My opinion, the latest verion of apache 1.3.x and php 4.1.2 (my test box
is 4.2.1 but thats ok)

I've been trying to get a simple php page to produce any output through a
Jigsaw server.
I've got past the problem of cgi.redirect and now my server launches php and
returns a "page" but it's blank. There is no evidence of my html or php
code having been seen by the server. I've run the php script from the
command line and I get the html code I'd expect.
With Jigsaw's debug facility DISabled for the cgi scripts I get the
following html served to the browser:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
which produces a totally empty, white page.
With Jigsaw's debug facility Enabled, I get two lines on the page and the
same two lines (without html tags of any sort) in "view source" display:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.1
Content-type: text/html
At this point, my php script file contains only php commands - no html.
Any clues?

If these two lines are showing up in the BROWSER, then something is pretty
wrong...
They're supposed to be headers...
So something could be sending out a blank line or something before these,
somehow...
If they are just showing up in debugging output, and they *ARE* headers,
then PHP *IS* getting invoked, and then dying when it tries to execute your
code.
Try using *JUST* this in your PHP document:
<?php phpinfo();?>
It's pretty hard to screw up something that short, so you'll know the PHP is
valid :-)
And, if it works, you get a wonderfully long HTML document spewed out. It's
so fun to type so little and get so much :-)

I've written a script that edits a specific line in a text file and saves
the changes to the file for that specific line. I've noticed though that I
can't edit the first line in the file, which would be zero in the array
created by the file() function. When I write the edited data back to the
file I am using "w+" as the mode.
Is this related to the array or to the file mode?

Without seeing the script, it'd be hard for us to say. So, post the
_relevant parts_ of the script to the list.

AT seemed flaky when I tried to use it. You can use the Program
Scheduler and have it open up IE with an address. The command line would
be something like
C:\whatever\path\iexplore.exe http://www.yourpage.com/script.php
And somewhere in the config you can tell it to "End this program after X
minutes". Set that at whatever and IE will shutdown after that many
minutes. Seems to work well if you can't get AT working...

>Problem: How do I display all the tblCountriesOfOperation for one

create table contacts(
contact_id int(11) unsigned auto_increment unique not null primary key,
name text
);
create table countries(
country_code char(2) unique not null primary key,
name text
);
create table contact_countries(
contact_id int(11) unsigned,
country_code char(2),
unique key contact_country_key(contact_id, country_code)
);
This last table is a "lookup" table, or cross-join table, or ...
Lots of names for it.
Basic idea is to just have a running list of contacts and countries "matched
up" by their IDs.
Sample Data:
insert into contacts(name) values('Rasmus Lerdorf');
insert into contacts(name) values('Ze\'ev Suraski');
insert into contacts(name) values('Andi Gutman);
insert into countries(country_code, name) values('US', 'United States');
insert into countries(country_code, name) values('CA', 'Canada');
insert into countries(country_code, name) values('IL', 'Israel');
insert into contact_countries(1, 'US'); # I think Rasmus is still in Silicon
Valley somewhere
insert into contact_countries(1, 'CA'); # But he used to work in Canada
insert into contact_countries(2, 'US'); # Zeev and Andi are mostly in
Israel, but
insert into contact_countries(2, 'IL'); # but come to the US for conferences
frequently.
insert into contact_countries(3, 'US');
insert into contact_countries(3, 'IL');
The above assumes that your table was empty, so Rasmus is 1, Ze'ev is 2, and
Andi is 3...
This "middle" table, contact_countries, lets you associate as many, or as
few, people with countries as you need.
The display code could be something like this:
<HTML><BODY><FORM ACTION=<?=$PHP_SELF?> METHOD=POST>
<?php
$contact_id = (int) $_REQUEST['contact_id']; # Don't really care if it's
_GET or _POST
# (int) is a crude but
effective anti-hack measure
if (isset($_POST['contact_countries'])){
# First, wipe out all the "old" contact/country for this person:
$query = "delete from contact_countries where contact_id = $contact_id";
mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
# Then put in the "new" settings:
while (list($country_code) = each($contact_countries)){
$country_code = substr($country_code, 0, 2); # Crude but effective
anti-hack
$query = "insert into contact_countries(contact_id, country_code) ";
$query .= " values ($contact_id, $country_code)";
mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
}
}
# Display contact name:
$query = "select name from contacts where contact_id = $contact_id";
$contact = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
list($name) = mysql_fetch_row($contact);
echo "Contact: <B>$name</B><BR>\n<BR>\n";
# Now to display current country selections:
# Crucial: ' order by name ' lets me run through $contact_countries and
$countries "in parallel"
$query = "select countries.country_code from contact_countries, countries
";
$query .= " where contact_id = $contact_id ";
$query .= " and countries.country_code = contact_countries.country_code
";
$query .= " order by name ";
$contact_countries = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
$query = "select country_code, name from countries order by name ";
$all_countries = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
$contact_country_row = 0;
while (list($code, $name) = mysql_fetch_row($all_countries)){
if ($code == mysql_result($contact_countries, 0, 0)){
$selected = 'SELECTED';
$contact_country_row++;
}
else{
$selected = '';
}
echo "<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=contact_countries[$code] $selected>
$name<BR>\n";
}
?>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE='Update Countries'>
</FORM></BODY></HTML>
This code is untested, but should be okay other than typos...

Some of the listings at http://phpusergroups.org are nothing more than a
single person trying to form a group...
I would assume, then, that such additions are welcome, and more likely to be
effective in the long run than just posting here.
Not saying you shouldn't have posted, just that your odds will increase a

Disclaimer:
is_null() is new-fangled, and while I assume it matches up with SQL NULL,
it's *POSSIBLE* that PHP's NULL is for something entirely different than SQL
NULL. Read the docs.

Several options are available.
In all cases, I've replaced the if/else with the trinary ? : operator. Less
clunky.
$email = is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email;
# Didja know you could just hit TAB instead of that funky \t stuff? Way
prettier, IMNSHO.
print(" <tr><td>$email</td>...");
print(" <TR><TD>" . is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email . "</TD>";

This will never be TRUE...
"$cd_id" *FORCES* $cd_id to be a string.
And, actually, you want == here, not =
The = is used to store a value in something.
The == is used to test for equality
Since it comes from the database, $cd_id will probably always be a string
anyway...
You can't do this:
>echo "<td bgcolor="$bgcolor"><font face=Verdana size=1><b>$cd_id</b></font></td>";
^ ^^ ^
^
| |\ |
|
PHP sees And \ Way too confused by now...
this as the this \
beginning is the \

string.
You want:
echo "<td bgcolor=\"$bgcolor\"><font face=Verdana
size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";
Or, since HTML accepts ' as well as ", so long as they are 'matched'
echo "<td bgcolor='$bgcolor'><font face=Verdana
size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";
Or, if you only care about browsers working, and not some pie-in-the-sky W3C
proclamation of style:
echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=Verdana
size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";
You should, however, realize that many, many, many people will *NOT* have
Verdana font installed.
They will see that icky Times font.
You can list multiple fonts:
echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial
size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";
'Course, if you start putting spaces in the font, you *NEED* the quotes:
echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face='Verdana,Comic sans,Helvetica,Arial'
size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>";
You may also want to tack \n at the end of every string, so when you do
"View Source" in your browser, you can see something intelligible.
echo "<td bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=Verdana
size=1><b>$cd_id</id></font></td>\n";

You need to create a PHP "extension" library.

They are Un*x .so files on steroids -- IE, with some PHP wrappers to make

Disclaimer:
The following statements are based strictly on heresay:
I don't think the DOM in PHP lets you have any "hooks" for mal-formed XML.
It either is well-formed, or DOM pukes all over your pretty blue suede
shoes.
I think you may be better off writing a SAX parser-based XML algorithm.
You'll be able to deal with the idiosyncracies of your HTML-coders better,
and to recover with more flexibility from the errors.
I think DOM will give you a line number and column (character within the
line) number, and maybe even an XML error message. But you won't be able to
convince it to just "accept" the HTML and move on with life as it is.
You'll be forced to "fix" the HTML to match XML specs, which, like is just
wrong, since HTML isn't XML.

I *THINK* ignore_user_abort() is only useful with some browsers...
Or, perhaps, it relies on Apache figuring out that the connection is dead,
and reporting back to PHP, and there's a fair amount of time-lag in that
process...
Or, perhaps, it never really worked very well...
All I now for sure is that I have this vague idea in my head that it's just
not something you can really rely on.
It's still convenient to kill lengthy processes, but not for
mission-critical knowledge of the HTTP status.
If you *NEED* to be sure, I think you're stuck with Java applet/servelet
setup, from what I hear. (Strictly heresay.)

Almost for sure, no.
But, to be 100% sure, do this:

And surf from that Netware box to it.
If Netware is telling PHP something useful (unlikely), PHP will spew it out

Assuming there's not something more subtle going on...
My best rationalization is that Microsoft somehow thinks that the only valid
response to a POST is an HTML document...
Maybe try using Keep-Alive or whatever and sending out some HTML as well as
the PDF, just to see...
Or, just live with GET and move on with life :-)
Actually...
Is the *NAME* of the ACTION= file ending in .pdf? If it's not, make it be
.pdf, and use ForceType to force PHP to parse it.
Perhaps IE is just upset that you told it to expect an HTML file with the
URL, but then sent a PDF.

Perhaps:

Can't you just pass in the ID of the actual header you want changed, instead

Hello,
There is such a library, you can find it in PEAR.
It needs some cleanup and improvements though.

I have a situation where I have one browser window open for lets say web
application 'x'. Now I want my user to goto application 'y' on the same
domain in a new browser window by passing the authentication information
from application 'x' to application 'y'. I obviously donot want my
session variables to be continued in application 'y'. But at the same
time I donot want to destroy the session of my application 'x'
Since they r in two COMPLETELY separate browser windows, both sessions
should logically be separate. But for some reason IE & netscape take a
new window in the same Instance.
Is there any way I can open a new browser instance, such that the same
session is not continued and a new session in created leaving the old
session as it is?
Or is there any other work around for the same?

I am looking for PHP code that will submit (post) a form automaically to a
ANOTHER php page. I do not want to press a submit button. I have found a
class at PHPClasses but it is too complicated for my needs. What is the
simplest way of doing this? What is the theoretical approach?
The reason I need this is that I have a table output from a database after
one submits 'n list of variables (form inputs). I want to update a graph in
another Iframe automatically without clicking on another submit button.

The Snoopy class would do this nicely. http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/
That may be too complicated of class as you mentioned, but it's probably the
best solution for you, and once setup, your task will be very easy to do
with
this class. I had a similar situation where I needed to do a simple form
post, and found some very basic code, but it slowed by app down so much it
had to be replaced eventually anyway.

I think the only way to submit a form automatically is with JavaScript.

Dear all
I had a folder which the path is : (\\nedcoraa\pdf_reports\dealing
room\report) it stores a lot of PDF reports in there.
I'm trying to use the file_exists() function to detect if a specific file
exist in this folder, but i got a problem is :
It seems that php can go through (\\nedcoraa\pdf_reports) but it can't go
through (dealing room) folder. i had made test on it, i moved a file into
(\\nedcoraa\pdf_reports), then php can detect it, but if i move it to
(\\nedcoraa\pdf_reports\dealing room), then it can't detect the file! why?
I'm using php in windows NT IIS environment!
Please help me!

Jack, try using forward slashes instead of backslashes;eg

Jack,
Probably because of the space in the directory "dealing room" - you'd be
best advised to avoid spaces in directory names.

At a guess I'd say you've got something in your code that looks
something like this:
Include("some/path/newbooks.php");
You'll need to check the 'some/path' bit to see if that is where the
file 'newbooks.php' is actually stored. Making another guess based on
the above I'd also check that 'BOOKS' is the right directory name,
particularly keeping in mind that 'BOOKS' is a completely different
directory to 'Books' and to 'books' on a unix system.
CYA, Dave

Hello all,
Thanks for the suggestions. But my .php file does not have any include
statement any where in the page. Is there any thing which I have to check
out? The site contains 6 .php files, and it is only in this file the error
comes.
Thanks once again,
Sachin.

either your postmaster is not running... or your postmaster does not
accept TCP/IP connections... read the documentation for PostgreSQL
Installation it has tons of info there for your convenience...
try editing your pg_hba.conf file for postgreSQL... so it will accept
tcp IP connections:
host all <IP> 255.255.255.0 trust
where IP is the ip address of the host that will access the postgreSQL
database at the server.
i hope i got it right

Hello! I have a page which is called by:

Now I want to get the Anchor "#JumpHere" (which could be different each
time) in mypage.php4.
With PATH_INFO, I only get "/myfolder/mypage.php4";
With QUERY_STRING, I only get "MyVar1=Something&MyVar2=Someother"
With PhpInfo, I couldn't find any "JumpHere".
Any ideas how I can get the anchor in a php-page?

Hi Jimmy,
In many cases, I'd go for a regex, though with this (because it's just a
straight replacement), I'd just use str_replace (and since about the closest
thing to a vertical tab would be a new line in html, use that as the
replacement):
$string = str_replace("^K", "\n", $string);

Hey,
Anybody has ideas on how to detect the connection speed of visitors in order
to automatically take them to the Hi-speed or low-speed version of a site?
We want to make a hi and low speed side, but I would prefer not to confuse
visitors with a page where they have to choose between hi or low speed. I
personnaly find these annoying, as they are a useless step towards the
information I am looking for when I am checking a website.
What I was thinking about is doing a reverse dns lookup on the client's IP
and try to determine quickly if he's on a low or hi speed connection. For a
very good proportion of visitors, I think it is possible to determine it.
These would go to the low-speed site:
"dialup" (ex.: dialup-209.244.92.247.dial1.dallas1.level3.net)
"aol"
"ppp"
...
These would go to the hi-speed site:
"cable" (ex.: wc08.ym.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com)
"dsl" (ex.: mpy-77-035.adsl.reimari.net)
"home" (ex.: cp111494-a.roemd1.lb.nl.home.com)
...
and any IP starting by 24., since these seems to be owned only by cable
modems.
With a little bit of tweaking it would be possible to properly route more
than half of the visitors, simply by looking at their IP address and
associtated hostname. The remaining would go to the default side (hi or low),
and we would make it easy to switch from the hi-speed side to the low-speed
one and vice-versa.
I am open to suggestions on ways to improve such system and general
comments..
Cedric
