You can also use something like:
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;url=$from_page\">";
depending on your needs.

Or with javascript:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.location =
'http://where.to.go.com/example.php?param1=<?=$param1?>';
//-->
</script>

Take a look at the header() function.
http://php.net/header
To redirect you can use: header("Location: http://www.example.com/";);
You can also use something like:
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;url=$from_page\">";
depending on your needs.

It works with document.location = '...'; too. I use only this method and
it worked on all browsers...

There's no need to use a meta tag to mimic HTTP headers. PHP provides
the header() function.

Hello.
I try to compile PHP 4.4.2 from source on Mac OS X 10.4 server but I
am getting error messages. The the install configuration runs just
fine using the following options:
./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/php
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/lib
--with-apxs --with-iconv=/usr/local/php
--with-zlib=/usr
--with-mysql
--enable-cgi
--with-gd
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/php
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/php
--with-t1lib=/usr/local/php
--with-jpeg-dir=/sw
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local/php
--with-curl=/usr/local/php
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/php
--with-mhash=/usr/local/php
--with-expat-dir=/usr/local/php
--with-gettext=/usr/local/php
--with-dom=/usr/local/php
--with-dom-xslt=/usr/local/php
--with-dom-exslt=/usr/local/php
--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local/php
--enable-xslt
--with-ldap
--with-xmlrpc
--with-xml
--with-iodbc
--enable-sockets
--enable-trans-sid
--enable-exif
--enable-wddx
--enable-ftp
--enable-mbstring
--with-mime-magic
I might also add that the current PHP installed on the server is the
one from entropy.ch. This install would be absolutely perfect for my
needs, except the fact that PDFlib is compiled directly into PHP. I
do not want pdfLIB compiled into PHP, because I like to update PDFlib
to 6.0.3.
The make command fires always an error saying that "In file included
from /path/to/php/source/sapi/apache/sapi_apache.c:24:" followed by
ten or more lines saying "... error: httpd.h: No such file or
directory" and last line: "make: [sapi/apache/sapi_apache.lo) Error 1".
I also tried a very basic install of PHP:
./configure --with-apxs
but the error remains. Looking into the file sapi_apache.lo I saw
that it wants some source files from the Apache distribution, right?
I tried to just copy those files into the same directory as
sapi_apache.lo is in but then I get other error messages.
I am not that familiar with compiling from source so please be
patient with me.
Google was not my friend...
What can I do?
Regards,
frank

I think you are missing httpd-devel package. At least on Linux is called
something like this.
Also look for /usr/sbin/apxs(2)
If you are with apache 2.x you should use --with-apxs2[=/usr/sbin/apxs2]
Good luck

Maybe try to configure with the direct path to the apache source files...
--with-apxs=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs

Hi List !
I'm playing around with HTML_AJAX PEAR module and came to a strange
situation .
Consider following code :
<div id="target" style="border:solid 1px"> This is where the result will
be printed </div>
<center>
<form onsubmit="return !HTML_AJAX.formSubmit(this,'target');"
action="/ajax/test1.php" method="post" name="frmTest" id="frmTest">
<div>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td style="white-space: nowrap; background-color: #CCCCCC;"
align="left"
valign="top" colspan="2"><b><center>Login</center></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top"><b>User:</b></td>
<td valign="top" align="left"><input name="user" type="text"
/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top"><b>Password:</b></td>
<td valign="top" align="left"><input name="pass"
type="password" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top"><b></b></td>
<td valign="top" align="left"><input name=""
value="Authenticate"
type="submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form></center>
Nothing special here. This actually works.
HTML_AJAX.formSubmit(this,'target')
send the request and get what is printed from test1.php in the DIV with
ID=target.
The problem is when i try to change the ID of the DIV with something else .
Whatever ID i choose the script does not work as expected. It does not change
the innerHTML of the div but the content of the FORM.
Looking at the generated code from server.php i notice this:
formSubmit: function (form, target, customRequest)
{
if (typeof form == 'string') {
form = document.getElementById(form);
if (!form) {
// let the submit be processed normally
return false;
}
}
if (typeof target == 'string') {
//I think we MUST go here but it seems we don't...
target = document.getElementById('target');
}
if (!target) {
//I guess we enter here but we shouldn't.....
target = form;
}
..........................
The script seems to be OK but...
So generally this script works ONLY if the DIV is with ID=target and function
called like this : HTML_AJAX.formSubmit(this,'target')
If i change the div with ID=alabala and call the script with :
HTML_AJAX.formSubmit(this,'alabala') it does not work.
Any ideas ?

I would like to know from some of you how you go about it?
In our framework, we use a few methods, depending on what needs to be
done in what way...
If you look at our wiki module, we use AJAX to check for valid PageNames
when using SmashWordsTogether. In our other forms we use a form
validation object that checks for numeric, alphanumeric, textonly etc on
form submission.
It sounds as though the AJAX route is more what you are looking for. If
you would like some help let me know, or ask on our developers list.
hi Paul.
Thanks for the reply. So what do you do if someone enters illegal characters in one of your form? Do you inform the user and prompt them to enter the fields again or do you just strip out all the bad
characters and enter the rest of the info into the database?
Im concerned with what to do once a user has added the bad characters. I will
be using a regular expression.
thanks in advance

depends on what "illegal characters" are...
If I want a name, I will discard anything other than text for instance.
Send an error message to the user and get them to refill the input box.
Not sure what the question is?

Ok thats perfect. So best is to prompt user to reinput their information. Thats
exactly what I was asking.

Hi guys.
I've just read an article that gives a good explanation about escaping single quote characters with slashes, the author then says that magic_quotes_gpc can do this for you if enabled on your server,
he then he also mentions how if your magic_quotes_gpc are not turned on/enabled that you could use addslashes() with the same result and when retrieving info from the database that we need to use
stripslashes().
All seems hunky dory but then he concludes that magic_quotes_gpc that they are evil as we have less control over the information we receive. Which does make sense. So should i avoid magic_quotes_gpc
all together? my local development server has them enabled and when testing the input of a textfield that does a select query I input 'hello' (including single quotes) and it works really well with
the single quotes escaped. But my live server has them disabled and therefore the single quotes break the SQL statement. So on my live server should I enable magic_quotes_gpc or should I use
addslashes() and stripslashes()?
Thanks in advance.

IMHO,
it really depends on a couple of things...
1). how you use it
and 2). How much control you want...
If you have a single point of entry for database actions, like a class
that mimics the database structure and handles updates, inserts,
deletes, then it makes sense to turn them off to give you the control,
as with the single point of entry you can easily add/strip slashes. But
if your design allows for many points of entry it becomes problematic to
make sure you are adding/stripping slashes in all the appropriate areas.
So, I would say that magic_quotes is a tool, it has some limitations,
but can also be helpful. So it really depends on the wielder of the
tool if it should be used or not.

I have an image library on one site that I want to be able to access from
another, but I actually want the image downloaded and cached to the new site
(so that it doesnt keep taxing the image server).
I allow the file() command to pull from other sites, can I do this with just
the file('http://www.site.com/image.jpg";); - or how would i do this?
