Yeah, i did look at that, it's all mixed in with html, and quite frankly
it's not particularly readable (at least for me) I'll stick with curl
for now, but thanks for taking time to show me an alternative ;-)

Yes, they do control the browsers cache.
You can use the Mozilla "Live HTTP Headers" extension to see what do you
send/recieve.
Check http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org
Very good tool.

Yes - my problem *was* on the server side, and not on the client.
I don't know what the problem was, but the files were in a soft linked
folder. I moved them to my apache docroot and it solved the problem.

Usually such things aren't cached implicitly on the server side.
However, they are very often cached by your ISP! That cache is hard to
circumvent, and the difference between the two is unnoticable for a
normal user.
When you change the path, then, of course, they are treated as new
files, and your ISP will, again, re-cache them, unless specific headers
(pragma or cache-control) are set.

Sure, echo(), print(), sprintf().. just to name a few.
But what you want is javascript. Try google.

I have a form with both textarea and text type fields.
I submit it and do some processing on identical data and get different
results.
What's up with that.
Thank you.

##The data is the same. I've been up a long time.
BUT something is still very weird.
Doc1.php (loaded in web browser)
//contents of Doc1.php
include functions.php
include formProcessor.php
include form.php
Calling the "protectText()" function in "functions.php" from
"formProcessor.php" with data posted from "form.php" works on data posted
from textarea fields but does NOT on data posted from type="text".
//contents of functions.php ONLY works on textarea fields
The fundtion in function.php is:
function protectText($tv) {
$tv = stripslashes($tv);
$tv = str_replace("\"","[QT]",$tv);
$tv = str_replace("\r","<br>",$tv);
return $tv;
}
BUT if I put the same function in "formprocessor.php" it works!??
//contents of formprocessor.php THIS works on both
function TSTprotectText($tv) {
$tv = stripslashes($tv);
$tv = str_replace("\"","[QT]",$tv);

TSTprotectText($_POST['field']);

Okay, so in other words...
//Doc1.php
include functions.php //this file contains the function definition for
"protectText()"
include formProcessor.php //this file contains the code that calls
"protectText()"
include form.php //this file gets the form data from user
By any chance, are ANY of the include files classes? I'm not 100%
sure(unless you put up some more code), but it sounds like it's maybe a
scope error... especially if you define the function in formProcessor and it
works fine...

htmlentities!
Thanks a lot for taking the time but it was just my nubie error.
What had me going all off in the wrong direction was textarea fields don't
need htmlentities to display quotes correctly like a text field does.
you know like this: value="some text" with important info"
Displays in textarea fine but in type=text of course you get
"some text

I meant to say that I'm on PHP 4.3.8, apache 1.3
Global Variables are on.
If you read below for each form element (textbox,
menu) I've set a value of value= "<?php echo
$_SESSION['ListingName']; ?>">
I believe that is not setting the session variable but
merely grabbing the input from the user.
So what I can't find out after digging through books
and googling, is how / where to actually declare the
variable.
Seems most of the examples use a variable that is set
already by the programmer, not by the user.

Thanks. Your SMS service looks ideal for what I need but how do I make an
HTTP request from PHP to kapow?
Can I just use fopen()?
Please can you give a PHP example.

Hi,
Am totally puzzled as to how they are doing this.
The site is at
http://www.teeniesxxx.com/madtgp/submit.php (please
note its an adult site so you might not want to go
there, also note I am in NO way connected with that
site...AT ALL)
once a person submits a site, they are doing 2 things
that totally puzzle me,
1.showing the number of "outgoing links"
2. counting the number of linked to pictures (eg:
href='blah.jpg') and movies (eg: href='blah,mpg') and
also giving the size of each movie (this i figured
out) and the resulation!!
I would like to do the same thing for a cartoon site,
can anybody tell me where to begin or some sample
code?
Thanks,
Mag

Middle man. You have them click on a link containing an ID, increment
the counter for that ID, then forward them to the requested link.
2. counting the number of linked to pictures (eg:
href='blah.jpg') and movies (eg: href='blah,mpg') and
also giving the size of each movie (this i figured
out) and the resulation!!
Can as easy as a regex match for ".jpg" or ".mpg".

hi, does anyone know why this is not working, i have married 2 pieces of
code together and i have no idea what im doing--any help is appreciated.
I get an error that says it cant find the host--$host so obviusly its not
passing it from the form.
/////////////////////////////////////////
<?php
$host = $_POST['host'];
$user = $_POST['user'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$db_name = $_POST['db-name'];
$link = mysql_connect('$host', '$user', '$pass');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
if (mysql_create_db('db_name')) {
echo "Database created successfully\n";
} else {
echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
}
?>
/////////////////////////////////////////////
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
try this :
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
Note : No SINGLE quotes.
In PHP, quotations are as follows
$host = 'localhost';
$a = '$host';
$b = "$host";
echo $a;
that prints $host
echo $b;
that prints localhost.

See fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose():
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
Not sure exactly what you're doing, but having PHP (via http) use a
mysql account with create privileges and write your configuration files
is a gaping security hole - fine for a
personal/internal/ephemeral/testing project, but terrible security
practice for any application or site that faces the outside world.

Thanks to all of you for your explanation of my method. Minuk, thanks for
the detailed explanation, it really helps me understand what I'm doing
wrong.
Now I have one more problem. When the $children array is empty, it returns a
10 instead of a 0. Why is that? Here's the method again with the recommended
improvements you guys provided:
function get_children($parent) {
// FORMULA: rgt value of first child + 1 = left value of second
child
// check rgt value of parent against each child (rgt + 1).
// If rgt valueof child plus 1 equals rgt value of parent
then
// that child is the last child of the parent.
$parent_coord = tree::get_item_coord($parent);
$descendants = $this->get_descendants($parent);
$children = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($descendants); $i++) {
if ((empty($children)) && (($parent_coord['0']['lft'] + 1) ==
$descendants[$i]['lft'])) {
$children[] = $descendants[$i]; // found first child
}
elseif (($children[count($children)-1]['rgt'] + 1 ==
$descendants[$i]['lft']) && $children[count($children)-1]['rgt'] + 1 !=
$parent_coord['0']['rgt']) {
$children[] = $descendants[$i]; // find next children
}
}
if (count($children)>0) {
return $children;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

Subject: Re: [PHP]
I can tell you from a quick glance that you have the following case
function X()
{
if ()
{
$children=...
}
elseif ()
{
$children=...
}
return $children;
}
Have you tried giving $children an initial value, such as
function X()
{
$children = array();
if ()
{
$children[]=...
}
elseif ()
{
$children[]=...
}
if (count($children)>0)
return $children;
return 0;
}
I may be getting a head of myself, but the
$children[]=...
line adds the $descendants into the ARRAY variable, $children. Unless I'm
wrong, you MUST declare $children as an ARRAY FIRST(see first line of the
function, "$children=array();")
Secondly, if you want the function to return 0 if no $descendant entries are
added to $children, you must check to see if the $children ARRAY is EMPTY.
if (count($children)>0)
return $children;
that line basically says if ARRAY variable $children has more than 0
elements, return that ARRAY.
Finally,
return 0;
if the ARRAY variable $children has 0 elements(count($children) returns the
number of elements in ARRAY variable, $children), "return $children" is NOT
executed. The next line is "return 0".
This is a lazy way of writing the following :
if (count($children)>0)
return $children;
else
return 0;
If it seems like I'm explaining too much, it's because from the code
snipplet you provided, it sounds like you're a novice to PHP... and you did
write, '...explain this error to me'. :-P
Hope This Helps

Hi
I am having trouble running the example from:
http://www.theukwebdesigncompany.co...code-module.php
Am running PHP5.0.2 running on a windows XP box.
I've setup the test email message as:
PHP Code:
$input = "Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 4400 invoked from network); 6 Mar 2003 18:13:52 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO localhost) ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
by localhost with SMTP; 6 Mar 2003 18:13:52 -0000
X-Flags: 0000
Delivered-To: GMX delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<!-- snip snip -->"
$params['include_bodies'] = true;
$params['decode_bodies'] = true;
$params['decode_headers'] = true;
$params['input'] = $input;
// do the decode
$structure = Mail_mimeDecode::decode($params);
// save the attachment as a file.
foreach ($structure->parts as $part) {
// only save if an attachment
if (isset($part->disposition) and ($part->disposition=='attachment')) {
// open file
$fp = fopen($part->ctype_parameters['filename'], 'w');
// write body
fwrite($fp, $part->body);
// close file
fclose($fp);
}
}
I've included the correct PEAR file..and all quotation marks are escaped
properly in the $input. However I get the following message:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in
c:\php5\PEAR\Mail\mimeDecode.php on line 168
Is this PHP5 being buggy? I need to run in 5 as I'm using simpleXML. In the
bigger picture all I want to decode is XML attached files.
Kind Regards
Dave.

Thanks for the help with the createdb and tables form, now can anyone help
with changing the config.php
(ie: host,user,password) via a form also-- so that it doesnt have to be done
manually within the config script.
Basically i want an install/setup page with all the form elements--
Hostname-
username-
Password-
Choose database name-
Then it installs the database and tables then redirects to the main site
page and the config.php is already configured for them

I'm trying to write text to an image but some parts of the text should be in italics.
For instance, I have the following string.
$string = "This is a [i]test[/i] string that [i]has[/i] some parts in [i]italics[/i]"
How do I display that on an image using the image functions with php but display the
parts between [i][/i] in italics?
How would you guy's do it?
Thanks,
Brent

Concerning PEAR::Auth
I can't tune interaction between PEAR::Auth and MySQL.
Typical code
<?php
$dbtype = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = '';
$dbpass = '';
$dbname = "cosmos";
$dsn = "$dbtype://$dbuser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/$dbname";
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
mysql_select_db($dbname);
require_once "Auth/Auth.php";
function loginFunction(){
echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "\">";
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"username\">";
echo "<input type=\"password\" name=\"password\">";
echo "<input type=\"submit\">";
echo "</form>";
}
$a = new Auth("DB", $dsn, "loginFunction");
$a->start();
if ($a->getAuth()){
echo "OK";
}
?>
With typical SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE auth(
username VARCHAR(50) default '' NOT NULL,
password VARCHAR(32) default '' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (username),
KEY (password));
I tried:
INSERT INTO auth VALUES ('qq', 'pp');
after submitting the login form the process buzzes on the procedure start();
I tried too:
INSERT INTO auth VALUES ('qq', PASSWORD('pp'));
I tried (using phpMyAdmin):
GRANT SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , CREATE , INDEX , ALTER ON * . *
TO "qq"@ localhost" WITH GRANT OPTION MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR
0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 ;
But process buzzes on the procedure start() as before;
How to set username and password?

I meant to say the following (notice the added brace ;))
if(!isset($_GET['api']) || strlen($_GET['api']) == 0 ||
!is_numeric($_GET['api'])) {
