Hello,
What would be the best way to get a page variable like this:
www.domain.com?page=home
to show up when a user types in:
www.domain.com
My current fix is to have this:
header("Refresh: 0; URL=http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home";);
... on a index.php page on the root.
Is there a way I can do this and avoid having a page that just does
redirection?
Thanks for help.
Cheers,
Micky

On your web server you can configure 'default pages'. Apache and *nix type
servers seem to favor the "index.html" type default pages while Microsoft's IIS
goes for the "Default.htm" just to be different. But you can add default pages
to a list in the order you want them accepted.
For instance, if you use PHP a lot (which I think we all do :) but you have a
lot of directories that just have static HTML in them, you might have:
index.html
index.php
(or vice versa) as your default pages list. If it doesn't find any of those in
the directory being accessed, then you should get your good old 404 error.
Should just be a matter of adding "start.php" to your defaults list in whatever
priority order you want.
I think that'll do it for ya. If you're going through an ISP, they still may
have a way that you can set your defaults, possibly through .htaccess or some
other Apache type prefs setting mechanism.
Good luck!

Great! Thanks for the quick response, I really appreciate it. I had a
feeling it was a fix at the server level. :)

You could also check to see if $_GET['page'] contains a value, and if it does
not, then redirect it. Something like this:
if($_GET['page'] == ''){
header("Refresh: 0; URL=http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home";);
}
Granted that isn't validating the $_GET['page'] variable input for security,
but that should at least get you going. Also, that assumes that all your
pages use the GET query to specify which page they are on. If that's just
for the initial page, then you'd have to do some more qualification.

You probably want to check mod_rewrite.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

I'm confused...
why does everyone use a refresh??? According to me, that's not what a
refresh is supposed to be used for (!). Why don't use a
header('Location: http://www.domain.com/start.php?page=home'); for it?
It's more in-line with RFC's

Good point... I actually should start using Location instead... seems
to make more sense. Thanks for pointing that out. ;)

Apache's .htaccess:
DirectoryIndex start.php index.php index.html
In start.php:
// instead of redirecting, just set page
if (!isset($_GET['page'])) {
$_GET['page'] = 'home';
}
If, for some reason you /can't/ change the directory index page, make an
index.php with this:
// again, no redirect necessary
$_GET['page'] = 'home';
require('start.php');

I just got a new web server with RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 on it. It came
with MySQL 4.1.x and PHP 4.3.9 on it. I uninstalled the MySQL 4 and put
MySQL 5 on it. When I run a PHP script that has a DB connection in it I
get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/var/www/html/mysqltest.php on line 5
I check the PHPINFO and see:
Configure Command has '--with-mysql=shared,/usr'
And "dbx" supported databases has 'MySQL'
However, there is no MySQL section.
I checked in the '/etc/php.ini' file and see:
[MySQL]
mysql.allow_persistent = On
mysql.max_persistent = -1
mysql.max_links = -1
mysql.default_port =
mysql.default_socket =
mysql.default_host =
mysql.default_user =
mysql.default_password =
mysql.connect_timeout = 60
mysql.trace_mode = Off
What is missing that would keep me getting the missing functions error? I
restarted apache of course.
Thanks,
Jonathan

I would read the contents of the directory into an array, then use the
sort()[1] function.
Example code (wrote the below code so I could generate a dynamic html
drop-down menu):
...
...
...
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
# Loop through directory and add files to array $html:
while ($file = readdir($the_dir)) {
# Check if it's a file, and it has a valid extension:
if(eregi("(\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$", $file)) {
# Add file to array $html:
$html[] = $file;
}
}
# Close the stream:
closedir($the_dir);
# Generate the drop-down menu:
if($html == null) { die("There are no files in this directory!"); } //
If no content is found, alert user.
...
...
...
From here, in your case, I would just apply one of the PHP sort
functions on the $html var and then print/echo your results from
there...

I tried the script but it keeps saying it is not an array!
Hmm, I just set-it-up on my server:
http://www.ambiguism.com/php/readDirSort.php
Seems to work for me. Code:
$file_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/php/test/';
$the_dir = opendir($file_path);
# Loop through directory and add files to array $html:
while ($file = readdir($the_dir)) {
# Check if it's a file, and it has a valid extension:
if(eregi("(\.pdf|\.html|\.htm|\.php|\.txt)$", $file)) {
# Add file to array $html:
$html[] = $file;
}
}
# Close the stream:
closedir($the_dir);
# Generate the drop-down menu:
if($html == null) { die("There are no files in this directory!"); } //
If no content is found, alert user.
sort($html);
foreach($html as $html => $value) {
echo '<br />'.$value;
}
Keep in mind, the above code is very minimal... you could probably
spend a bit of time making more secure/robust... I pulled it out of a
function I use.
You might want to read-up on sorting via PHP.net (in comments section)
for more robust user-defined functions...
Hth!

Micky

I'm kind of a newbie so speak sllllooooowly.
I've got a problem with validating radio buttons that seems to be harder
than I think to solve. I've got ten items set up like this:
Green: <input type="Radio" name="color1" value="1" /> <input type="Radio"
name="color1" value="2" /> <input type="Radio" name="color1" value="3" />
and son on out to 10.
Then I've got Red: <input type="Radio" name="color2" value="1" /> and so on
out to ten again.
So I've got ten colors each with 10 radio buttons so that they can be ranked
from 1 to 10. The problem? Well, obviously, the user can only pick one
value in the row for each color. That part is simple. BUT I also need to
make sure that they only rank one color with the value "1" and, of course,
only one color can have "2" and so on. How do I validate this so that they
get a warning before they submit that user has picked more one color with
the same ranking?
An additional complication: They don't have to answer or rank all the
colors. All they really need to do is rank one color to copmplete the
question.
I created an array with the answers and then used array_count_values to find
out the frequency but that chokes on color rankings that are left blank.
How do I assure that only one color is ranked at any one value?
I hope my question makes sense. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I am also assuming you actually do know the basics of MySQL and PHP and
are looking for that next step - past the beginner stuff.

I agree. I have seen this book alone take "coder" to developer.
It is not a beginner's book - but will help you get closer to expert
faster than a two foot stack of beginner level material (again, assuming
you "are looking for that next step....") Leave section five
(Extensions) until you are more experienced.
"High Performance MySQL" by Zawodny & Balling, O'Reilly -- not PHP
specific but essential if your MySQL databases will have heavy load on them.
