I don't think so. Plus, the entire setup is a bit complicated and you need
FreeTDS as well as UnixODBC installed, plus some /etc configuration "magic".
FWIW, I have an article on the subject. It's in Romanian, but the commands,
configuration files and testing PHP code are clearly marked and are of course
universal, so perhaps you can make do with just some copy&paste.
See here:
http://rowd.zuavra.net/articole/11/p2/
P.S.: If anyone wishes to put an English version on their site please contact
me in private. I'll take the time to translate it. I haven't put the English
version on the Web myself since my site is meant to be in Romanian only.
A bit late, but for future reference, I have an English translation of
this article available at:

Hi Rob,
maybe you can use the ternary operator syntax for the affected lines:
echo (conditional) ? 'lines of JavaScript'
: 'other lines of JavaScript';

How do I determine with which user's permissions PHP scripts are executing?
I am experimenting with suEXEC and running PHPs as CGIs; I need to know
with which user's permissions PHP scripts are executing.
I've tried using getmyuid() and get_current_user(), but these only report the
owner of the script - not necessarily whether the script is actually executing
as this user or not. I couldn't find this information in phpinfo().
Suggestions much appreciated!
Do you have User and Group (apache1.3) or UserGroup (apache2) lines in
your httpd.conf or virtual host include file? These specify which user
to run as under suexec.
Once that is in place, I generally just create a file from the script to
see the uid.
Peter.
Thanks!
on linux
$user = `whoami`;
print $user;
you might need to get rid of \n

Operations OR and || have different execution priorities. I'd prefer "||" as
it's "more important" so not so many parentheses needed to ensure the order

Scite is perfect. You rock. A single 364KB file with PHP source code
highlighting, brace matching, (regex) search and replace and more. It's
so perfect I won't even make fun of you for mentioning TemplateTamer

there is also code folding if I recall correctly. Not making fun of me is
also kindly appreciated, although I am not sure if I would have deserved
that kind of attention in the first place :). Anyway, I suggest that we put
it to rest, and enjoy the rest of the evening/day (depending on the time

I have been using emacs/tramp for editing files on remote machines, but
I find it can be flaky - no doubt I am doing something wrong. Can anyone
suggest a good programmers' text editor that at least has syntax
highlighting and can use ssh for accessing files directly on remote
machines? I need a Unix program, preferably a FreeBSD port, but am happy
to compile something myself if it will work consistently or at least
give some kind of error message if it has difficulty, and not just hang.

I use HTML-Kit which highlights syntax for a number of languages, PHP
included.
I am unsure of its ability to connect using SSL but it's very customisable
when creating a new remote folder and I use it to work on remote files all
the time. It simply creates a connection if needed and saves the files when
you hit save.
Hope that was of use.

Thanks, both Jason and Christian
I found something else that I think is strange.
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$root = $dom->createElement("test");
$dom->appendChild($root);
$node = $dom->createElement("foo", "which entities <i>does</i> it
escape & which doesn't it?");
$root->appendChild($node);
echo $dom->saveXML();
The result will be:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test><foo>which entities <i>does</i> it escape </foo></test>
It stops at the &, which I think is strange. It escapes the < to <
and > to >, but not & to &. It would be better if it escaped none
or all entites that "can do harm".
Or what do you think?

Single quotes around CorrectAnswer?
What is the error you are getting?
Guessing that if it passes the syntax checks I expect your problem is it
is always evaluating to one of the options and not the other.

You've got it. Syntax passes checking - always returns..
$vBkgrndImage = "Bkgrnd-Body-Correct.jpg"
Single quotes around 'CorectAnswer' is because that entry is in the style
of table_recordset['field']. How else should this be coded?

Nope. That just changed the return to always be the other option.

To eliminate the single quotes in the IF statement I altered the code like
this...
$vPageContentCorrectAnswer = $row_RS_PageContent['CorrectAnswer'];
if ($vBkgrndImage == "AnswerPage") {
if ($vPageContentCorrectAnswer != $vAnswerID_RS_PageContent) {
$vBkgrndImage = "Bkgrnd-Body-Incorrect.jpg";
} else {
$vBkgrndImage = "Bkgrnd-Body-Correct.jpg";
}
}
It still works the same. What's the deal?

Yes, see what the vars are, maybe something like this:
if ($vBkgrndImage == "AnswerPage") {
echo "1: $vAnswerID_RS_PageContent<br>";
echo "2:".$row_RS_PageContent['CorrectAnswer']."<br>";
}
Then look on your page for the numbers 1 and 2 and see if the vars are
what you're expecting.

$vBkgrndImage = "Bkgrnd-Body-Incorrect" whether $vAnswerID_RS_PageContent
equals $row_RS_PageContent['CorrectAnswer'] or not. I've added printouts of
my variables to the bottom of the page so that I can check their content.
And even when both associated variables match, "Bkgrnd-Body-Incorrect" is
returned.

Try this:
echo "<pre>";
print_r( variable_you_wanna_track );
echo "</pre>";
The output will be easy-readable. Or try var_dump().
This helps maintaining scripts in more pleasant way.

Sorry everyone. Found the problem. Thanx for all your trying. The problem
was a stupid error on my part - which they usually are.
The syntax of the IF statement was correct. I had the $_GET statement which
defined $vAnswer_ID_RS_PageContent below the IF in the script. Both of
these elements are in the <HEAD> so the display of the variables are below
this in the <BODY>. So, I was seeing variables containing the correct
values, but when the IF was executed, $vAnswer_ID_RS_PageContent had not
yet been defined.
Thanx again for your help.

I've been working on a query to retrieve a user's data based on their UserID
that is stored in a variable "$_SESSION['logname']" which underneath I
convert using: $UserID = $_SESSION['logname'];
But when I execute a SELECT query:
$CaptureDetails = "SELECT * FROM RegisteredMembers
WHERE UserID = $UserID";
I get:
Unknown column 'Admin' in 'where clause'
I've tried everything I can think of. any suggestions...?

because your query looks like:
SELECT * FROM RegisteredMembers WHERE UserID = Admin
you miss quotes around $UserID:
$CaptureDetails = "SELECT * FROM RegisteredMembers
WHERE UserID = '$UserID'";

whats in UserId var.. any spaces or nonword chars.. if so, quote it.

And quoting integers is not a problem, I even prefer it. IMHO we should
tell people to quote all values so if someone "forgets" to do any sort of
input validation (i.e. make sure it's actually an integer) there won't be
a major problem otherwise problems (including SQL injection) may arise.

Philip

One thing to note though, mysql/sqlite is the only dbms that I know
of that allows this, mysql may not even use the proper index if a
INT field is comparing to a string type.

No, distclean only cleans up the temporary files in the source
tree.
If you didn't supply a --prefix option (or other special directory
location stuff) to php's configure, it generally will choose
/usr/local/ as the prefix. So you'll see most files that are
installed here:
/usr/local/lib/php* #config, pear etc.
/usr/local/bin/php # cli binary
And depending on your webserver setup (assuming apache) a .so file
here:
/path/to/webserver/root/libexec/libphp4.so

Instead of iterating through all the POST data, i would set up an
array of all the fields I need to pass to the other site:
$pass_fields = array('rate_1m', 'field2', 'field3');
Then iterate through those and fetch the appropriate POST variable
with some filtering:
foreach($pass_fields as $field) {
switch ($field) {
case 'rate_1m':
$arr[] = 'rate1m1=' . urlencode($_POST['rate1m1'] . '.' $_POST['rate1m2']);
break;
default:
$arr[] = urlencode($field) . '=' . urlencode($_POST[$field]);
break;
}
}
$URL = "https://example.com/script.asp?".implode('&',$arr);
Also, take note on the urlencode, it might be wise to do that. A
note for PHP5 usage, simply defining a associative array will work:
$arr[$field] = $_POST['field'];
$URL = http_build_query($arr);
