[PHP] Replacing text with criteria
I have been working on a script to parse a CSV file and in the process I clean out a lot of the garbage not needed but I am a bit stumped on one aspect of this file. It's a list of over 3000 contacts and I'm trying to mask a lot of the information with *. So as I loop through this list I am checking the array elements as if I find a phone number (555) 555-1212 (I was searching for the (555)) I want to convert it to (555) ***- For fields not containing an area code, I wanted any text to be replaced by an * except for the first and last letter in the element. I'm stumped and was hoping that this may be something horribly simple I'm overlooking that someone can point out for me.
[PHP] Adding X days to a time string...
Storing a date in seconds (Unix timestamp) in a database and want to add X number of days to this. So I want to extend a time by say 5 days, what is the best method to handle this? It's always stored as a timestamp for a day not an exact time. So dates are stored as day (March 5th, 2003). Jeff
RE: [PHP] Adding X days to a time string...
Sorry, I may have muddled that...the issue isn't converting a string to a time, it's taking a time (102636 for example) and adding 30 days to that.

[PHP] HTML mail being sent with mail() not working for some people
We're sending out emails using mail() and sending it in HTML format and while most people get it correctly a couple are not. They get the anti-abuse headers and then the HTML code appears as just that - HTML code in the body of the email. Sending those same people an HTML email composed in Outlook comes across just fine, perhaps it's the anti abuse headers causing the issue? Has anyone heard or had experience with this?

$headers .= Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n;
/* additional headers */
$headers .= From: Jeff [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n;
$message = test;
mail ('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Quote of the Week from Jeff', $message,

And again, it works for most people but two people have complained about
this issue. At least one as using MS Outlook.

[PHP] Function to catch all mySQL errors?
I know that mySQL errors are caught in mysql_error() and I find that

catches errors and outputs them. What I mean is lets say I have a block of
code like so:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT field1, field2 FROM users WHERE userLogin =
'$authusername' AND userPassword = '$authpassword');
Instead of a small loop under my query that is like so:
if (mysql_error()) {
echo Error: .mysql_error();
exit;
}
I'd like to be able to call a function that does this instead of adding this
if statement after all my queries...so...anyone do something similar?

[PHP] Group and count at the same time?
I am using PHP to maintain a catalog of music and have been just fine with it but have run into one thing i want to do and need some advice. The format of the data is like so: upc|genre|distributor|details What I want to do is grab a summary. So it would end up printing out: rock (43) country (41) and so on. Is this possible to do with one query or will I need to do it with more? So I want to count the number of each genre and provide a count for each.

If it's from a database then you really should be asking on the php-db

Something like:
select genre, count('genre') from catalog group by genre
should work.

[PHP] Getting value back from fsockopen?
Currently I am using fsockopen on my IP and a port and when sending a UDP
request it always says it's open. Now, what I'm trying to do is see if I
have an application running on there. This application listens to the port
I'm trying to hit.
Is there a way with fsockopen I can do this? Instead of hitting and saying
open all the time I can return some value? The listening application in a
compiled exe, not a PHP or any kind of application I can add code to send
information with...
Code I am using currently:
?
$fp = fsockopen(udp://IP, 5121, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$fp) {
echo ERROR: $errno - $errstrbr\n;
} else {
echo(Server up!);
echo(BRHandle: .$fp);
}

[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 10, 2002 1:54 PM Subject: [PHP] FUDforum 2.0 Stable Released FUDforum 2.0 is a web forum released under the GPL license, written in PHP4 utilizing a MySQL database backend. The forum is completely customizable via a templating system, which is compiled for optimal performance. The templating system also has integrated i18n support, which allows the forum to be used in other languages, at this time there are 5 different languages to, which translations are available in the standard distribution and more will be available soon. The spell checker integrated into the forum, which utilizes pspell library also has multi-lingual support, thus permitting even the non English speakers to spell check their messages. FUDforum 2.0 also includes a powerful user group management system, that allows fine grained control over the users of the forum, for the administrator as well as the group manager(s) assigned by the administrator. In addition to these features, the forum contains all the other features you may have come to expect from a web forum, such as the ability to attach files to messages, include polls, private messaging system, FUDcode, which allows the user to style their text without the need for HTML, thread forum subscriptions with both e-mail ICQ notification, buddy and ignore lists, a full text search and many more. Despite all these features, FUDforum is extremely fast and scales extremely well, by using MySQL indexes and table views implemented in PHP to retrieve the data in the most expedient manner possible. The result, is that most forum pages take ~0.01-0.02 seconds to generate on most computers, even while the forum is under a heavy load. The forum, by default is setup with very secure file permissions, that are designed in such a way that given a reasonably well setup web server, your forum's data will be safe against hackers. You can download FUDforum from http://fud.prohost.org/download.php and if you have any questions, there is a support forum at http://fud.prohost.org/forum/, where you can get answers to your questions and concerns about the forum.

I was using this include as a preprocess step as I was using ; to seperate arguments in the query string like this index.php?s=something;t=thing The preprocess step was breaking them apart and then I was doing this: $start = isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['s']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['s'] : ''; Then back in index I did a if ($start == somevalue) However, with 4.2, the $start is no longer populated. If I add an echo $start; right after the include, in 4.1.2 and below, it would echo the value of $start but now it keeps turning up empty.

[PHP] Problem grabbing value of session
I am in a function called Login2 in which I call the following:
session_start();
session_register(valid_user);
session_register(privs);
valid_user contain a name - Jim
privs contains a number -1
Right after I call those I try a is_registered and it showed that these
registered correctly. I removed that code and added a call to another
function: redirectinternal();
That function is below:
function redirectinternal () {
global $valid_user,$privs;
echo Login good!;
echo BR.$valid_user. - .$privs.$temp;
}
Now, I can't seem to get those values to print to the screen. I added a
session_start before the echo and I just can't get my values out...what am I
missing?

You can avoid the whole session_register() business if you simply
refer to these variables as $_SESSION['valid_user'] and
$_SESSION['privs'] -- after all, that's what they are, simply session
variables. By using this convention, you clarify exactly what kind of
variables they are each time you write them, which is good for
legibility later in the future. Also, you don't need to declare them as
global in your redirectinternal() function, since any $_* variable is
considered global at all times.
That function is below:
function redirectinternal () {
global $valid_user,$privs;
echo Login good!;
echo BR.$valid_user. - .$privs.$temp;
}
Now, I can't seem to get those values to print to the screen. I added a

You'll have to post the context of this function (how it is called in
the script) for an answer to this question.

I am trying to basically copy data from one database to another and am
wondering if it is possible to have more than one database open at a time.
So for example, I want to do something like this but am wondering if there
is a better way:
$dbcon = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd); //Make source
connection
mysql_select_db($db_name);
//Select source db
$source_result = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM users); //Select all
info from users table
while ($row_cat = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//Loop through and insert into new db
//Insert into new database
}
So where I have Insert into new database this is where I want to take some
of the information from the source and insert into the new database (which
uses a different user name and password as well).
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

There are also built-in constants like __FILE__ and __LINE__ http://www.php.net/exit http://www.php.net/die http://www.php.net/constants -- -Brian Clark | PGP is spoken here: 0xE4D0C7C8 Please, DO NOT carbon copy me on list replies. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Question on variable variables
I've a question regarding variable variable I was hoping someone could help me with:
All the examples in the manual have the entire variable name being variable e.g.
$a = hello and
$$a being the same as $hello
What I need to do, however, is append a variable portion to a constant prefix. So I
have a set of variables that are named $MYdog, $MYcat etc. and I need to do
$a = dog
${MY$a} being the same as $MYdog
Can this be done, and if so - how? I can't get it to work.
Jeff
Re: [PHP] Question on variable variables
Yes trying to get this to work:
$curline = preg_replace(/yabb\s+(\w+)/,$$1,$curline);
So for the current line I am looking for something like yabb copyright I
want to replace that with the contents of $copyright.
Can variable variables be used in regular expressions?

So what you want is a base name with a vaiably-changing portion
concatenated? Gotcha!
// you variable base name
$myVarBase = MY;
$a = cat;
$something1 = This Var Likes Cats;
$b = dog;
$something2 = This Var Likes Dogs;
$myVarName1 = $myVarBase . $a;
$myVarName2 = $myVarBase . $b;
// The same as $Mycat = This Var Likes Cats;
${$myVarName1} = $something1;
// The same as $Mydog = This Var Likes Dogs;
${$myVarName2} = $something2;

Re: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file
Someone may have a better way but you can read each line (assuming the file uses \n for a new record) and use: arrayname = explode(|,$variable_holding_line_from_file); Then you can do assign the variables as such: $name = $arrayname[0]; etc Could be a better way from the list :) Jeff - Original Message - From: Rudi Ahlers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 3:08 PM Subject: [PHP] Setting variables from a text file Hi Say I have a text file, separated by | ( a pipe). Now, I want to extract that info, in the form of variables. I can extract and display the info in the text files, but that's not what I want. I want to be able to tell it that the first entry should be variable1, the second entry should be variable2, etc. I add the info into the file with a script, that always adds variable1 into field one, variable2 into field2, etc. These variables are taken from a form.

[PHP] Logic/method question...
It's not really, but kind of, a PHP question. I mean it is being written in PHP :)
I am putting together a search feature for our classified ads and there are about 4000
each day. Now I am bulding a query to search by newspaper, date, and keywords. One
last thing is categories.
Curious how others would handle this...on the search screen (and on the site) we have
broken down the classified codes into about 8-10 main groups (stuff like Merchandise,
Transportation, Services etc).
Now the problem is this: in the database, each ad goes in with it's class code which
matches up with the actual category. So instead of just Merchandise we have sub
categories like Christmas Trees.
There are close to 1500 class codeas and when I build this I need to allow the user to
select just one of the 8-10 codes and have the program return everything.
Will I need to do something like:
if $selection=Merchandise then
{
select all ads where code=2 AND code=5 AND code=123 AND code=567 etc etc
}

[PHP] Receiving mySQL result from remote server?
Is it possible to have a script at xyz.com retrieve data from a mySQL database on abc.com? Jeff
Re: [PHP] Receiving mySQL result from remote server?
I am assuming that all I need to change is the host/domain so that instead of localhost it would be something else. Am I assuming right? So I could have www.abc.com or the IP?

Yes, in fact it is normal. Having dedicated MySQL box is a good idea. A lot of the MySQL security is based around this. To find out how look in the MySQL manual (download .pdf from www.mysql.com) or go on the mysal mailing list (same domain) or if you have a decent isp get primer from there support website (you could have a look at www.pair.com/support).

Re: [PHP] Parsing text file and dividing column into three...PLEASE help :)
Ok, I have written code to go through the file grabbing pretty much what I need. Now in the array after explode ($oldline=explode(|, $buffer);) I need to split apart $oldline[9]. Each element should hold no more than 4000 characters. So I will dump this all into a new array. What would be the best way to do this?

[PHP] Can someone help me parse XML? - Challenge
I have an XML file that I need to parse. I had the base of a perl script written but
wasn't completely functioning and was hoping someone could give me a hand with making
it parse and do what it's supposed to but in PHP. The perl file looked like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
$counter = 0;
open (RESUME, resumes.xml);
@resume = RESUME;
close (RESUME);
$resume = join('',@resume);
while ($resume =~ /resume(.*?)\/resume/sg) {
$counter += 1;
$myresume = $1;
$myresume =~ /resumeText(.*)\/resumeText/s;
$finalresume = $1;
$finalresume =~ s/\s+$//g;
$finalresume =~ s/^\s+//g;
$finalresume =~ s/\n//g;
$myresume =~ /resumeHolderEntry(.*?)(\/)?/s;
$resumeholderentry = $1;
parse($resumeholderentry,'resumeHolderEntry');
$myresume =~ /resumeEntry(.*?)(\/)?/s;
$resumeentry = $1;
parse($resumeentry,'resumeEntry');
}
exit;
sub parse {
my ($what,$header) = @_;
$what =~ s/\n//g;
$what =~ s/^\s+//g;
$what =~ s/\s+$//g;
$what =~ s/\s{2}//g;
$what =~ s/\(.*?)\/\$1\\n/g;
@pairs = split(/\n/, $what);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name,$value) = split(/=/,$pair);
$name =~ s/^\s+//g;
$name =~ s/\s+$//g;
$value =~ s/\//g;
$value =~ s/^\s+//g;
$value =~ s/\s+$//g;
#push(@temp, $name.'='.$value);
push(@temp, $value);
}
$temp = join('|', @temp);
if ($header eq resumeEntry) { $temp .= \|$finalresume; }
open (FILE, $header.txt) or die Can't write to $header: $!;
print FILE $counter\|$temp\n;
close (FILE);
}
Now the XML file I can send someone but this is something I should have done from the
start (use PHP) but now I am out of time and scrambling :(
