Hello,
How to print out the following array $test so that the print order is by the
fourth[4] key? I need to print out all arrays in $test so that the data is
ordered by the fourth key in ascending order.
$test =Array (
[0] => Array (
[0] => 5
[1] => 2
[2] => sika
[3] => sika.php
[4] => 1 )
[1] => Array (
[0] => 8
[1] =>2
[2] => Hono
[3] => hono.php
[4] => 1 )
[2] => Array (
[0] => 7
[1] => 2
[2] => Kameli
[3] => kameli.php
[4] => 4 )
[3] => Array (
[0] => 6
[1] => 2
[2] => koira
[3] => koira.php
[4] => 2 )
)
The way that the data is strored to $test makes it difficult/impossible to
sort stuff the way I need here while reading it from DB.
Thanks
-Will

Hello William Stokes,
1 write a callback function:
[php]
function cmp_forth_value($left,$right){
return $left[4]<$right?-1:($left[4]==$right[4]?0:1);
}
[/php]
2 use the usort function
usort($test,'cmp_forth_value');
Best regards,

hello,
if I can still contribute to this topic, I suggest you never use simlinks.
We experienced very bad maintenance problems at a customer : when copying new
files through FTP, the simlinks were often erased or overwriten.
And this occured on every upgrade of the scripts.
This would not occur with a simple and stable include_path setting. Moreover,
one can set the include_path dircetly from PHP, allowing for example 2
applications to define their own include_path.
Finaly, simlinks are not available on win32 platforms.
So, the include_path should be more stable (considering FTP) and more flexible
than simlinks.

WHOOPS!

SORRY!
... and use full pathname when you go to read a file.
Anything else is more like playing an Adventure Game than Programming.
I can see arguments both ways for when to work out the symlink, so
you'd have to take this up with Internals to get a change made...

Shouldn't that have been: "never use broken FTP clients"?
NB, I hope I got the quoting right, but if someone got misattributed,
please blame the original quoting.

not completely true - windows does have something they like to call hardlinks -
which pretty
much do the same thing:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/fsutil_hardlink.mspx?mfr=true
that said I also would recommend using a well thought out include_path strategy
over a solution that
uses symlinks, given the choice. of course Karl is living a deployed,
production system
and he probably does not have the luxury of *just* switching over.

Hello everyone,
I store files on the server (.pdf, .doc, .txt, etc.) which are
referenced by entries in a database. The filenames are only stored in
the database and are not BLOBs.
What I'd like to do is to be able to show a web form wherein a user
can choose stored documents on the server and send it to an email.
What's the easiest way to go about this? Specifically, what's the
easiest way to read a file from the server and send it as an email
attachment.
Best Regards,
Matt

I would suggest you to use http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ that is a
featured class for sending e-mails from PHP scripts. It supports file
attachments too. Messages can be sent over sendmail or direct SMTP with
the PHPMailer.
(Untested) example:
require_once "class.phpmailer.php";
$mailer = new PHPMailer();
$mailer->AddAttachment("/tmp/myattachment.pdf","Attachment.pdf","base64","application/pdf");
$mailer->AddAddress("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$mailer->Subject = "PDF Attachment";
$mailer->Body = "This is a message with PDF attachment.";
$mailer->Send();

Hi all,
I got a doubt about the str_replace function.
<?php
$string="avenue 1, ave 1";
$words=str_replace ("ave","avenue", $string);
echo $words;
?>
the php code above will return me "avenuenue 1, avenue 1". i expect the
result will be "avenue 1, avenue 1". any idea of how can i get such result?
Thank you

Kencana

That'll also make "average" into "avenuerage". A word-boundary assertion
should (admittedly, I didn't check) be fine on both sides: '#\bave\b#'.

the mapped drive should not be a problem. I definitely think it's a permission
issue,
of course I could be wrong.
the following bug report *might* give you a clue as to whats going on:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22153&edit=1
I have a feeling the bit about setting the permissions of the Share
to Everyone (on the server) is a good place to start. (the point about
having to login to the share manually before php is able to connect is also
noteworthy)
also bare in mind that a Drive/Directory has a set of permissions that are
seperate to the permissions of a Share that is defined for said Drive/Directory,
(something that has always confused me a bit) - both need to be setup to
appropriately
> Is there a way to use a UNC path?
things I came across suggests this can work - something like?:
$dir = opendir(""\\\\your.ip.add.ress\\your_share"");

quite likely - but you never know until you give it a shot - weirder things

I would get the systems running exactly the same version just to rule out that

if what you say is true then it it would be a great way of determining if the
it is the ODBC driver that's the problem, and if using MSSQL extension make the
problem
dissapear then you have a solution (given that it has to use an ODBC driver
underneath,
you will still be conforming to the client's requirements by not connecting
directly).

Hi there,
I do have a text value inside a variable: exif[FNumber] = 56/10 which I
would like to save as a float value: 5,6 into a database.
How can I compute this 56/10? I tried things like calculate() or math()
but did not find the propper function to do this.
Can anybody help, please?
Thank you in advance,

if you know the string is always in the form: "number / number"
you might do something like:
<?php
$str = "56/10";
$bits = explode("/", $str);
$num1 = floatval($bits[0]) / floatval($bits[1]);
echo $num1;
?>
another way to go *might* be to use eval() - note that eval() is
almost *always* the wrong solution to a problem:
<?php
$str = "56/10";
eval("\$num1 = {$str};");
echo $num1;
?>

You could use exec() but that's not good practice due to the security
implications.
I'd extract the two numbers using explode() on the / and then just use the
division operator.

$str = "56/10";
eval("\$num1 = {$str};");
echo $num1;
?>
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
thank you that works. But unfortunatelly the notation out of this
calculation is with a comma instead of a point. is there a way to have
the output with a . instead of a ,
Example: 5.6 instead of 5,6
thank you for your help,
Merlin

Hi there,
I do have a text value inside a variable: exif[FNumber] = 56/10 which I
would like to save as a float value: 5,6 into a database.
How can I compute this 56/10? I tried things like calculate() or math()
but did not find the propper function to do this.
Can anybody help, please?
if you know the string is always in the form: "number / number"
you might do something like:
<?php
$str = "56/10";
$bits = explode("/", $str);
$num1 = floatval($bits[0]) / floatval($bits[1]);
echo $num1;
?>
another way to go *might* be to use eval() - note that eval() is
almost *always* the wrong solution to a problem:
<?php
$str = "56/10";
eval("\$num1 = {$str};");
echo $num1;
?>
Thank you in advance,

sorry my fault. It does output a point.

Hi,
To send email confirmation (after registration or to administrator after
Contact us form is submitted) I use the "standard" way:
function send_confirmation($to, $subject, $message)
{
$header = "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$header .= "From: Vernon Company <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$header .= "Reply-To: Order Processing Dept.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
}
send_confirmation($SalesEmail, $Subject, $Message);
It works fine, though, few times email was blocked and finished in
Junk/Bulk/Spam folder.
Now, I have to start sending emails as html. Not big deal.
But, it's so easy to get blacklisted if you make a mistake and I wanted to
grab and use good email class to do this. OUr web server is php5 based.
Was looking on phpclasses.net for the class but there are tons of them.
Can somebody recomend any class? Something simple.
Thanks for any help.

not to sound like an ass (there's at least 3 people out there that will hear me
going 'Eeee Aw'
regardless of what I say so what the hack) - but this has been mentioned about
3 times on
the list on the last week, it's one of these ones things that keeps coming up.
this is a good example of why scanning the list on a regular basis (and/or
doing the
occasional search in the archives when your looking into a problem) is a really
good idea.
I can't emphasize enough how much I personally learn from just reading questions
and answers on this list - many a time I've [vaguely] remembered reading
something
that I didn't quite understand at the time but 6 months later I was confronted
by a similar problem and I was able to solve the problem in a fraction of the
time
that it would have taken if I had not read whatever thread was relevant.
an extension to this is trying to answer questions that you don't actually know
the
answers to ... the act of trying to figure out someone else's questions/problems
can often be a great way to increase your skills ... additionally it's good
practice
for solving the problems you encounter in your own work, I remember when I first
started out that trying things out, researching and debugging problems was
often a
very daunting proposition [that never-ending-story feeling] ... I have found
that
the more practice the less impedance I find when it comes to figuring out
something
I'm stuck on ... this is pretty obvious I guess, but worth mentioning.

Jochem,
I'm reading most of the posted questions/answers on the mailing list
because of exact reason you mentioned. You're right. But, don't remember
any that can help me with this issue. Though, wasn't detailed and give a
chance to missed these. :)
In general, yes, you're right, I could/should spend a bit more time
scanning Archive and most likely find the answer there. Accept your
critisizm and applogy.

murphy's law number XYZ: whatever your looking for is always in the
last place you look :-)

I'll freely admit to writing that 'advice' to also remind myself
to eat my own dogfood. ;-)

it was not meant as critism - definitely no apology please!
I was just a bit surprised that you didn't catch the earlier
references to phpmailer.

Hi,
I'm searching for an efficient way to use unpack on binary data within a
variable (php 5.1.something). In the past I was doing
fopen
fseek
unpack( fread(...)
fseek
etc.
Now this time I need to do the same, but I don't have an actual file: my
data is only in a variable and I don't want to operate on a file but the
variable within.
I was thinking about using substr() and passing the small chunks of data
I need to the unpack() function.
Question: does this work without problems on arbitrary binary, maybe
containing zero-byte values reliable?
thanks,
- Markus
