Yep like this :
<select name="select" size="10" multiple>
<option value="1" <?php if (!(strcmp(1,
"None"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Black</option>
<option selected value="2" <?php if
(!(strcmp(2, "None"))) {echo "SELECTED";}
?>>Blue</option>
<option value="3" <?php if (!(strcmp(3,
"None"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Red</option>
<option value="4" <?php if (!(strcmp(4,
"None"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Orange</option>
<option value="5" <?php if (!(strcmp(5,
"None"))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Purple</option>
<option selected value="6" <?php if
(!(strcmp(6, "None"))) {echo "SELECTED";}
?>>Brown</option>
</select>
Problem is arrays are hanging me up.

<option value="<?php echo
$row_rsInd['CareerIDs']?>"<?php if
(!(strcmp($row_rsInd['CareerIDs'], 2))) {echo
"SELECTED";} ?>><?php echo
$row_rsInd['CareerCategories']?></option>
//Attempt, problems with parsing errors:
<select name="Ind[]" size="8" multiple="multiple"

<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($inds, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
echo '<option value="'.$row['CareerIDs'].'">';
if (!(strcmp($row_rsInd['CareerIDs'], '$Ind')));
{echo "SELECTED";}
.$row['CareerCategories'].'</option>';
}
Close but no cigar. Since $Ind is already imploded my
thinking is it need not be incremented in the echo
statement ?

Um, your HTML wysiwyg editor can insert PHP code for you? The object of the
exercise is to see what properly constructed HTML for displaying "multiselect
dropdown boxes with pre-selected values" look like so you can try and
reproduce it using PHP. If the above code does that then fine (I don't care
to check).

Why do you always get your IF clauses wrong (look at back at your previous
posts). There should not be a semi-colon there. Read manual > Language
Reference (thoroughly, until you can recite it back to front (or
alternatively learn to refer to it when you get syntax (parsing) errors
instead of asking the list)).

You tell me, print_r() and var_dump() it before you use it and decide whether
it is correct.
One final thing: '$Ind' is not the same as "$Ind".

If I choose 1, 2 , 3 then
print_r($Ind); returns
'1','2','3'
This looks okay.
I'm passed the parsing errors. Semi colon was me
trying to stop parsing errors.
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($inds, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
echo '<option value="'.$row['CareerIDs'].'">';
if (!(strcmp($row_rsInd['CareerIDs'], "$Ind")))
{echo "SELECTED";}
echo $row['CareerCategories'].'</option>';
I could not find a difference with '$Ind', or "$Ind",
except I would think '$Ind' is correct, since " "
would be a literal string.
Any more hints ? :)

You *should* know what it should look like so I'll take your word for it.

Don't think, (to be more accurate, do *think*, but don't *speculate*).
If in doubt, print it out (TM)
echo '$Ind<br>', "$Ind<br>", $Ind;

Hi again everybody,
well, I've asked it before, but I couldn't work on this at all.
As some knows I have a system witch has a category system. The generic
part of the site is handled by a generic module called contents...
generic like products, services, company, etc. Where the content layout
and structure is quite the same.
Well suppose that I have this:
http://www.the_company.com/site/products/product_one/requirements/
requirements.html
Where:
site/ <---- the controller
products/ <----- alias module for content module
product_one/ <----- top category
requirements/ <----- nested category
<---------- as many nested categories as needed
requirements.html <----- article is called searching using it without
the .html, witch is used to know that it is an article and not a
category. ('WHERE article_path='requirements' AND category_id='022')
My problem is that how can I handle those categories!!!!!!!!!!!!! and
build a three of it.
I am using PHP5 and MySQL 4.1

Bruno B B Magalhaes

I have several website that use mysql as a database and I would like them to
access each other DB. The problem is that I can't connect to each other mysql
DB so I'm looking for a way to do so. I'm thinking of droping the mysql
database in xml files that could be parse using php xml parser but I'm not
sure if this is the best way to do it (sharing db's content). If it's the
best way to do it tips would be welcome :) and if it's not the best way to do
it could u please tell me what's the right way?

You're asking a very general question here. How you would approach this
depends very much on what exactly it is that you're wanting to do. Perhaps if
you could be more specific -- eg do you want to only make available specific
pre-defined bits of data to client websites, does the client website have any
need to change the data, does the data have to be encrypted whilst in
transit, are all the websites under your control (more specifically can they
be trusted), etc.

I'm not sure about this yet. I know XML is pretty unsecure when it's not
encrypted as it's only text. does php provide functions to ecrypt XML while
on transit or should I use other technics than XML?

yes they can be trusted as they are partenairs but they are not all under my
control

OK, if there are only a limited number of these "pre-defined bits of data"
then the easiest way is probably just output it as plain text (you don't say
what kind of data you're sharing) in an easy to parse format (CSV, XML,
whatever you're comfortable with).

If your webserver is SSL enabled you could just make the data available only
via login on SSL. It's relatively easy to setup the clients to login
automatically. PHP supports encryption if you install the necessary libraries
and configure PHP accordingly (manual > Mcrypt Encryption Functions). However
the client has to be configured similarly so that it can decode the stuff.

Hi David,
Thanks for your help. I've taken out the @ character, and added the
error-trapping code to my file.
The results:
When I run the file, nothing untoward is reported, and I end up with a blank
screen in IE / Moxilla Firebird / Opera. There are no errors reported.
In the Apache error log, there are no error or movement messages reported
for this operation.
In the Apache Access Log the following is reported:
"127.0.0.1 - - [12/Dec/2004:13:23:19 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1494

127.0.0.1 - - [12/Dec/2004:13:23:32 +0000] "GET /mysqlconnectcomplete.php
HTTP/1.1" 200 -"
I have the usual permissions on the database server which is accessible via
the command prompt with no problem.
I have the MyODBC driver installed and configured just in case PHP is
looking for it for some strange reason.
I've pasted the code below this message:

You should be looking in the "PHP error log", the location of which is defined
in php.ini.
Alternatively put the following at the beginning of all your development code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
That will display errors as they occur (as well as log them to file if php.ini
was configured to do so).

Hello!
Currently I'm playing with LDAP referrals in a PHP application and
I've reached a point, where it's not clear if there's some kind of
misunderstanding on my side, or if there's a problem either in the
PHP functions or the OpenLDAP server here...
The attached mini script tries to access the local LDAP and searches
for objects containing the uid attribute. The LDAP tree contains two
referrals which point to an external server which definitively has additional
objects containing uid attributes. The plan is to get all objects that contain
the uid attribute - from all trees.
I'm trying to make use of the rebind feature. Since there's no propper
documentation on "how to use" this function, I've been trying several
methods till this moment (anonymous bind for testing), the external
servers get connected, but the search query doesn't seem to show
any ambitions to get executed.
Do I need to do everything manualy (get_first_reference, etc.) or am I
just blind? Any hints would be greately appreciated :-)
Component information:
PHP: 4.3.9 (Debian sarge)
OpenLDAP: 2.1.30 (Debian sarge)
I'm not sure if this should go to php-db instead - if so, sorry :-)
Greetings,
Cajus

Hi Group Members
i have a problem with function empty()
i use it to check if user entered the form fields and store it in array
for example :
if (empty($Game_rating))
$errors[] = "You didn't enter the Online Status for the Game.";
the problem when the user enters 0 in the form field
the empty function returns the error.
can i use another function that doesn't return false when the 0 is passes ?
any help plz ?
--- End Message ---

How about:
if($Game_Rating == "")
$errors[] = "You didn't enter the Online Status for the Game.";
This should work for you.

Is $Game_rating supposed to be an integer? If so, then make it one and
check for <= to zero.
if(!isset($_Game_rating) || (int)$Game_rating <= 0)
{ $errors[] = "You didn't enter the Online Status for the Game."; }
Now you _know_ $Game_rating is an integer above zero and is safe to
display and/or put into a query.
Simply checking for
if($Game_rating == '')
will throw notices on some setups about an undefined variable (depending
upon error_reporting level) and will allow text through when it's
supposed to just be an integer.

I use this function which I find is very useful:
function isEmpty( & $var )
{
return isset($var) && strlen(trim($var)) == 0;
}

i use it to check if user entered the form fields and store it in array
for example :
if (empty($Game_rating))
$errors[] = "You didn't enter the Online Status for the Game.";
the problem when the user enters 0 in the form field
the empty function returns the error.
can i use another function that doesn't return false when the 0 is passes ?
any help plz ?
try to use isset() instead of empty.
empty() will be true if:
1. it contains 0
2. it is empty
3. or it contains white space.
but, for example if $x = ' ' ; .. isset() will return true instead of
false. So try to trim($x) before doing isset.

How do you reference command line arguments in php?
i.e., chkmd5.php file.md5
I am wanting to reference file.md5. Since the output of md5sum is not in the
RFC I am having to manually parse each md5 and detect whether it is in
Win32, Linux, or BSD format. And since php has good built in md5() support
it helps out.

I'm not sure what you meant by that (since an md5 checksum is an md5
checksum) but...

I think you're looking for "argv":

PS
Btw, it's "php-geNeral" and not "php-geMeral" ;)

What I mean is that a Win32 md5sum outputs like
hash *file
Linux:
file:hash
-or
hash:file
and BSD:
(file) hash
So if I run md5sum -c file.md5 and it was created on another platform,
md5sum will not check md5. The hash will be the same but not the file
output format. That is all.
And since php has good built in md5() support it helps out.

It is much easier to just ask you guys though.

I realize that I can use the strip_tags function to remove HTML. But I
don't want to remove HTML tags. I just want to make sure all open HTML tags
are closed. For example if they user submits HTML with a <table> tag and
never closes it, then the rest of the page will look screwed up. I still
want to allow them to use HTML, but I want to close tags that were left open
by them. This way it allows them to use HTML and it won't screw up the rest
of the page.
Thanks,

Do you *TRUST* the people typing the HTML to not attack your server, or
others, with cross-site scripting attacks?
If not, go re-read the manual about strip_tags, and pay particular
attention to the second, optional, argument.
but just make sure that ending
tags exist, so it doesn't screw up the rest of the page. Strip tags
would
just wipe out the HTML rather than allowing it and ending it safely.
Strip tags will allow you to wipe out *DANGEROUS* HTML which will make
your web server a source of problems not only to you, but to me as well.
Please use strip_tags to allow only the tags you *NEED* the users to be
able to use.
It will only take you seconds, and it will save you (and us) a lot of
grief in the long run.

You still need to control it. This would certainly fuck up your page:
<div style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left:
0; right: 0; bottom: 0; background-color: red;"></div>

The problem was solved by making symlinks from the actual location of
the png headers (/usr/local/include/libpng) to a slightly higher
location (/usr/local/include). Previously attempting to point
"--with-png-dir=" to either /usr/local/ didn't work. I found the tip
about making symlinks to correct this issue by sheer luck.

Thank you for DAO class that you recommended to me.
I would like to read the Pear and Metalstorage documentation (& tried
it) first before deciding which one I would like to use ;)
