It is perfectly okay to have both. I'm using both on a server I have.
I installed the CLI rpm, and was then able to install pear. Now I just need
to get the path situation straightened out.

I wouldn't recommend that you recommend that to everyone. Not all
databases will allow you to enter a STRING into an numeric field. MySQL
may be lenient on it, but that doesn't mean you should get in the habit
of using it that way. Properly validate your data and none of this is an
issue. :)

Yeah, we all know you want magic_quotes_gpc off by default too but can
PHP coders really be that trusted? ;) I was only referring to MySQL, will
look into the string/int index issue a bit later. Yes it would be nice if
people validated data but having to write about that everytime gets old.
My advice wasn't ideal, I'll admit that.

I have a complicated table that needs to be altered depending upon the
contents of a field in one of my recordsets. I've tried several approaches
and need to know what you recommend.
I've created three totally different tables and put the HTML code for each
into a database. Then I used PHP to insert the relevant code into the page
depending upon the contents of a field in a different database. Result -
the appropriate code is inserted properly into the HTML. Problem - the HTML
table I'm trying to insert contains PHP code which is not executed after
being inserted.
Because sometimes the HTML table needs 4 rows and other times only 2, I
tried enclosing the appropriate <tr>s in a PHP IF statement (see below).
Problem - PHP IF wasn't executed, both <tr>s embedded appeared on page
anyway. And, sometimes, the relevant <tr>s will include PHP code so this
embedding technique won't work.
<?php
if ($row_RS_PageContent['PageType'] != "2") {
?>
<tr>
<td width="200" height="0" bgcolor="99CCCC"> </td>
<td width="20" height="0"> </td>
<td height="0" align="left" valign="top"> </td>
<td height="0" align="right" valign="top"> </td>
<td width="20" height="0"> </td>
<td width="5" height="0" bgcolor="333366"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="200" height="0" bgcolor="99CCCC"> </td>
<td width="20" height="0"> </td>
<td height="0" align="left" valign="top"> </td>
<td height="0" align="right" valign="top"> </td>
<td width="20" height="0"> </td>
<td width="5" height="0" bgcolor="333366"> </td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
Should I simply describe the entire relevant <tr>s on one line,
appropriately escape them, assign the to a variable and then use an ECHO to
put them on the page? Or does someone have a simpler more elegant solution?
Thanx

just use eval() on that string, it's not elegant, nor is it really
secure, but it'll work fine.

Hi Robb,
I am a newbie so I wanted to ask a stupid question. In your code below if
the first if statement is true it ends the php processing and then you
reopen with a new <?php before the closing }. What would happen if you took
out the ?> before the first <tr> tag and the </php before the }. Would that
work?
Sorry if this is just dumb. Trying to learn. :)

To do what you're suggesting, you'd have to put each line of HTML in
separate ECHO statements (see below). The problem with this approach is
that the table will eventually contain very complex code in each cell. I'd
have to do extensive escaping to make sure the code is correctly
interpreted.
I used a shortcut syntax that allows you to embed several lines of HTML in
an IF statement without having to escape everything. The short PHP
statement after the embedded lines tells PHP that the embedded code is
embedded as if it was ECHOed line by line. This works most of the time.
Just not in this instance.
To use your suggestion, the code would have to look like this...
<?php
if ($row_RS_PageContent['PageType'] != "2") {
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td width=\"200\" height=\"0\" bgcolor=\"99CCCC\"> </td>';
echo '<td width=\"20\" height=\"0\"> </td>';
echo '<td height=\"0\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"> </td>';
etc.
}
?>
Note all of the escaping required to simply define the table. You'd have
tons more to do when images, links, JavaScript calls, etc. are placed in
the table.

This sounds like exactly what I need. But, can you help me with the synatx?
I've read the entry in the PHP documentation and I don't completely
understand. Let's assume all of the code to define the HTML table
(including appropriate PHP) is stored in a database table called
FooterTable. The field containing the code is called FooterField.
Do I first need to assign the field to a variable via the eval()...
$vFooterText = eval(FooterTable['FooterField']);
echo $vFooterText;
or does the eval statement automatically include the ECHO...
eval(FooterTable['FooterField']);
or do I have to read the contents into a variable first, then eval(), then
echo...
$vFooterText = FooterTable['FooterField'];
eval($vFooterText);
echo $vFooterText;

Do I first need to assign the field to a variable via the eval()...

eval(FooterTable['FooterField']);
or do I have to read the contents into a variable first, then eval(), then
echo...
$vFooterText = FooterTable['FooterField'];
eval($vFooterText);
echo $vFooterText;
once you get the code you posted a few lines up out of the database it
usually already resides in a variable. eg. $footertable['FooterField'].
What eval() does is take a string and just "imagine" it is actually an
included piece of PHP. If this helps you, you could imagine the eval
string as follows:
---------
// write the string contents to a new php file
$stream = fopen('tmpfile.php', 'w+');
fwrite($stream, $string, strlen($string));
fclose($stream)
include 'tmpfile.php'; // include it, seems obvious...
unlink('tmpfile.php'); // remove the file again
--------
This means that if you pass a string like eg:
<?php
if($a == $b) {
?>A is B!<br /><?php
} else {
?>A is not B!<br /><?php
}
?>
it would parse that as-if it were a piece of php-code, which it is in
this case. Remember though that everything you tell php to do in that
string is done at the time the eval() is called. That means that if you
use that string, eg. called $string (how obvious :P) in such an expression:
<?php
$string = '...'; // that php code but then as a string, or gotten from
the database
$a = 1;
$b = 2;
echo 'starting...<br />';
eval($string);
echo 'stopping';
?>
it would output:
starting...
A is not B!
stopping
Hope that helps :)

Yep, that looks like a bug... Can you please file a bug at bugs.php.net?
The workaround is the write the following:
$node = $dom->createElement("foo");
$text = $dom->createTextNode( "which entities <i>does</i> it
escape & which doesn't it?");
$node->appendChild($text);
$root->appendChild($node);
While a little more to type, it's at least the official W3C way ;)

Hello.
I have a friend who knows less than me about PHP and MySQL (which I know is
hard to believe) but she needs a login facility for her site.
I've passed over some script I use but she doesn't know how to create the
database. I can write some commands that create the tables OK - but can I do
the same for the database or does that have to be done through the UI...?

I'm not sure but what if you defined an absolute path for your output
files (e.gpg and sf.txt).

I'm not sure either, but I was thinking absolute too.
Also you might try system(), shell_exec(), or passthru() if you're
trying to get output back.

when running shell commands form php/web apps... it's a good idea to check
the ownership/privs/permissions of both the exe being run, as well as any
output/input files for the exe app.
you should also check the web/apache/iis error/log files to determine if
everything is correct...

Hmmm it needs to be able to *find* the links before it can replace them. Just
borrow the code that finds the links.

This script can replace links:
$text = ereg_replace("[[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]", "<a
href=\"\\0\">\\0</a>", $text);
But it cannot get the links.

There are many ways to go about this, I'll outline one of them. First you need
to grab the output so:
exec('dir c:\', $output);
Then you can use something like substr() on $output[1] (the second line) to
grab the serial number.

You've got the culprit here. Either lambast him publically (since he doesn't
want to receive your private mail). Or do what this says:

Or set a filter to trash these messages.

The thing is, though, none of these people have actually signed up for
this service as far as I can tell. It's like there's a spamcease bot
signed up to the list and is sending out these "notices" to people that
post to the list saying that some random address has signed up for it.
It's saying the list is signed up and people are receiving messages
saying themselves are signed up when they know they haven't.
I really wish we could get an active admin on the list that would react
to these sorts of things. I'd volunteer, but I don't think anyone cares
besides the people actually on the list.
All that being said, I just trash these, anyhow. :)

Some previous posts imply that some people *did* use spamcease, my anti-spam
measures protects me from seeing these "Please Verify Your Message" messages.

If it's an email harvesting scam then I think it's rather over elaborate.

If individuals are using spamcease then there's very little a list admin can
do short of chucking them off the list. BUt if it's a bot that's subscribed
to the list then yes throw it off.

Hi,
Does anybody know of a good place to learn how to work
with regex?
Google has quite a few links for "learn pattern
matching" or "learn php regex" but none that start you
on "baby steps".
Any recommendations?
Thnx,
Mag

Hi.
I am a bit confused about the include_path in php.ini, I am using PHP
5.0.0 on IIS
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;/php/includes"
When I run "phpinfo()" the include_path points to ".;c:\php\PEAR" but that
is incorrect the correct path is "c:\inetpub\php5\PEAR".
My question is, is it correct to set the include_path to
"c:\inetpub\php5\PEAR" or just leave it as is???
Thanks in advanced :)

Are you *certain* you're looking at the correct ini file? phpinfo() should show
the settings currently in use for your server (assuming you're calling the
phpinfo in a page served by IIS instead of for example the CLI version of PHP).
Magic 8-ball says: you have an old php.ini from PHP4 and it is in your
system32 folder.
My question is, is it correct to set the include_path to
"c:\inetpub\php5\PEAR" or just leave it as is???
If this is the path to your PEAR files then you'll need to change your include_path.

This is taken right out of the download of PHP 5 zip file
"php-5.0.0-Win32.zip". Opening the "php.ini-recommended" it states the
following configuration
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"
But phpinfo() shows this
include_path = .;C:\php5\pear
the correct windows path is
c:\inetpub\php5\pear
Do I change the path include_path to "c:\inetpub\php5\pear" ?
Why is it writen as ".;c:\php\includes" in recommended php.ini ?
Wy not call it pear_path = ".;C:\php5\pear" instead?

What is in the php.ini in your windows directory?
THAT is the copy that PHP is using.
( Is there something missing in the install notes - this is the second
time I've had to mention where the php.ini is located ;) )

I have a modified lexer dll which has slightly better colouring
for php (basically it means php functions can be coloured differently
from the keywords) which I find useful. Your quite welcome to try it
out. Warning: it will add 3K to the dll size :)
