Even if you don't need it secure, have a login. Dad and mom can login
with dad or mom with no password if all you need to do is give them
their own cookie/session.

Optionally, I just thought that if this was too much for them to
do/remember, they could have their own bookmarks, like "Dad - Yoursite"
(http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?person=dad) and Mom - Yoursite
(http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?person=mom) and set the
session/cookie or whatever you're doing based on $_GET['person'].
I would still opt for the login though, even if not secure.

Hi Shawn -
I was hoping to avoid logging in every time, but that may be the best way.
What I still don't understand is: I thought that Firefox and IE each had their
own cookies, and that I could determine the user by which browser they used. In
other words, Firefox's cookie would be for dad and IE's for mom. But I can't
figure out how to do that. Do Firefox and IE share cookies?
Thanks.

Hi.
No, they all go to a common page. I may have to take Shawn's suggestion and
just have them login if I can't figure another way to do it.

No, they use their own cookies so if you want to do it that way, use:
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] and set the cookie based upon the browser.
Another thought I had was if you can add domain aliases,
dad.yoursite.com and mom.yoursite.com, then they will each have
different cookies.

Hello Jim,
You will need to do some low level ajax coding from the client side with the
onreadychange event. If you're using jquery 1.3 then you can create your own
XHR object with the xhr callback handler.
To learn more about the ready state check out this link:
http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2005/09/xmlhttp_notes_r_2.html
You might find what you're looking for with the following ready state:
"3 - Interactive Downloading, responseText holds the partial data. "

Some browser would like to receive at list N characters (bytes) even if
you force the flush, before the browser will show those characters.
In
any case, the Ajax request will not be completed until its readyState
will be 4, which means the page execution on the server has finished
(released, php has gone, flush or not flush)
For a task like this one you have few options:
1 - launch new thread if your host is able to do it
2 - use a Comet like response (for php I wrote Phico some while ago)
In any case, I hope this stressful operation cannot be performed from thousand
of users or you can say bye bye to the service.
Alternatives:
1 - optimize your database
2 - delegate the job once a time rather than every click (cronjob)
3 - if the bottleneck is PHP, create an extension in C to perform the same task
Hope this help.
Regards
P.S.
Internet Explorer a part, you can read the responseText on readystate 3
which will be called different time (most likely for each flush).
If IE is not your target, you could consider this opportunity to read the sent
stream so far.

Ctrl z suspends the current process running in the shell in linux. Not
sure about winbloze. Probably sends an escape char of some sort.

there is, your control-Z is not a Z at all, and it's only printed as ^Z
so you can see it ... it's actually a non-printing char.
try this regexp for stripping control chars:

The actual value is 0x1A, and it maps to the ASCII SUB (substitute)
control character. The carrot-Z (^Z) representation is how Unix CLI
software would display it. Many control codes that didn't actually do
anything were printed on the terminals with the carrot prefix. Sometimes
codes that did trigger a function in the terminal would be printed that
way to prevent the function from triggering.
Control-Z is a left over from the CP/M days. It was used to mark the end
of text files, since the original file allocation table (FAT) only
tracked the number of clusters assigned to a file. Some MS-DOS and
MS-Windows applications still tack it on to the end of files. I guess
that's their idea of backward compatibility.

Jochem,
Thanks, but this regex did not seem to work for me. At least, not on
Windows. I will not be able to test on linux for a few hours.
I spoke too soon yesterday, too. Control-Z is a problem on Windows, and
not on Linux. However, on linux, control-D is a problem.
Thanks,

Bruce,
Sure thing. So basically what I am trying to accomplish is when this
script runs, a menu is displayed to the user, it looks somewhat like
this:
Welcome
To continue, please select your game mode.
[Mode] [Description]
A.) Mode A
B.) Mode B
C.) Mode C
D.) Mode D
E.) Mode E
F.) Mode F
Q.) Quit.
To begin, please type the mode letter.
Mode:
Then, the below lines of code come into play:
public function getSelection() {
$choice =
$this->validateChoice(trim(strtoupper(fgets(STDIN))));
return $choice;
}
private function validateChoice($choice) {
$choice = preg_replace("/[\x00-\x1f]+/","",$choice);
return $choice;
}
So now the script is waiting for user input. The next thing to happen,
right after this code, is:
private function validate($choice,$display,$input) {
$valid = false;
while(!$valid) {
switch($choice) {
case "Q":
$display->writeCredits();
sleep(4);
exit(0);
case "A":
$valid = true;
break;
case "B":
$valid = true;
break;
case "C":
$valid = true;
break;
case "D":
$valid = true;
break;
case "E":
$valid = true;
break;
case "F":
$valid = true;
break;
default:
$display->writeInvalidChoice();
$choice =
$input->getSelection();
break;
}
}
return $choice;
}
Now, this is where the script loops infinitely. But, this is only the
first method which validates user input. There are several others.
Basically, my script should accept user input, strip anything that will
not be needed (like anything other than letters and numbers) and then
allow the user to proceed, where the script checks to see if the
numbers/letters they entered correspond to the menu's in any way.
Everything in the script runs perfect, except the fact that the control
statements print infinitely. And while I am sure there is something I
could do to this method to make it not loop infinitely, I would also
need to do this to several other loops.
Thanks,
Jesse Hazen

Hi,
Brand new to regex. So I have a cli which runs a regex on users input,
to make sure that only 0-9 and A-Z are accepted. It should strip
everything else. My problem is that when you press control-Z (on
Windows; I have not yet tested this on linux, and I will, but I would
like this to be compatible with both OS's) it loops infinitely saying
invalid data (because of the next method call, which decides what to do
based on your input). So, here is the input code. Is there a way I can
ensure that control commands are stripped, here?
public function getSelection() {
$choice =
$this->validateChoice(trim(strtoupper(fgets(STDIN))));
return $choice;
}
private function validateChoice($choice) {
$choice =
ereg_replace("/[^0-9A-Z]/","",$choice);
return $choice;
}
I have tried a ton of different things to try and fix this. Tried
/\c.|[^0-9A-Z]/, and many variations of \c and the [^0-9A-Z], to no
avail. I also tried using both preg_replace() as well as ereg_replace().
I spent a lot of time on the regex section of the PHP manual, but I am
not finding anything. Any advise on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,

Hi Ashley. That's what I'm doing, but want to limit what gets stored
to just the content. Every page has a drop-down menu of, for
instance, various cities, so I want to exclude that part of the page
in my search terms. I don't want every page to think it has content
on Calgary, Hamburg, Phoenix, etc.
I finally walked myself through the code I had been modifying, and
found that they were parsing it line by line with an fgets (rather
than word by word). So was able to use Stuart's original idea of
surrounding the content with an unique comment line, and setting a
flag to tell whether to parse the line or not. If it found the <!--
start_search --> line, it would start parsing, and stop again when it
reached the <!-- stop_search --> line.
Is also nice that I can then specify multiple sections within the
page if I need to.

You can't have any extra info in a closing HTML tag. This
problem is
usually handled using comments. Something like the following...
<div id="divContent">
<!-- content begin -->
sofihsod hiosdh sdh gus us u sg
<!-- content end -->
</div>
You then just start with you see the begin comment and stop
when you
hit the end comment.
---------
Hmm, they are stripping out the tags before looking at the words,
so didn't work quite as I originally thought.
The solution seems to be to explode the string based on the
entire comment before doing the word-by-word storing. I wrote up
the following test code that seems to work and handles any string
or error I could think of. Am wondering if this is good or is
there better/more efficient code?
<?php
function contentString($pString, $pStart, $pStop){
echo "$pString<br />";
$finalArray = array();
$finalString = "";
$exploded1 = explode($pStart, $pString); // makes array $exploded1
for ($i=1; $i<count($exploded1); $i++) // ignore first item (0)
in array
{
$exploded2 = explode($pStop, $exploded1[$i]);
array_push($finalArray, $exploded2[0]); // array of just the
wanted sections
}
foreach ($finalArray as $value3)
{
$finalString .= $value3 . " "; // " " ensures separation between
substrings
}
$finalString = trim($finalString); // trim any extra white space
from beginning/end
echo $finalString;
echo "<br /><br />";
}
// TEST
$startTerm = "START";
$stopTerm = "STOP";
// test typical string
$theString = "one two START three four STOP five six START seven
eight STOP nine ten";
contentString($theString, $startTerm, $stopTerm); // outputs
"three four seven eight"
// test string with immediate START
$theString = "START one two STOP three four START five six STOP
seven eight START nine ten";
contentString($theString, $startTerm, $stopTerm); // outputs "one
two five six nine ten"
// test string with "error" (2 STARTS)
$theString = "START one two START three four STOP five six START
seven eight STOP nine ten";
contentString($theString, $startTerm, $stopTerm); // outputs "one

Does anyone know how to make a ZIP file using PHP? This is for an
application where the files the user selected will be put into a ZIP
file and then the ZIP file made available for download. Ron

http://www.php.net/zip would be a good place to start.
Or http://pear.php.net/package/File_Archive if your host can't/won't
install the requirements.

If you're hosting it yourself, and it's on a Linux platform, you could
shell out and archive it from there. That'll give you the advantage of
using any compression format the OS supports, and lets you do cool
things like spanned rar archives and such.

The webserver or php environment is probably terminating the script. It will
only run for the max number of seconds set in your php.ini file.

Hi Everyone,
I need to export data from database with UTF-8 encoding to an csv file. I am
outputing html tables with the Content Type set to msexcel.
The chinese texts came out as symbols. I tried
using mb_convert_encoding the text from UTF-8 to UTF-16LE
iconv from UTF8 to gb2312
iconv from UTF-8 to cp1252
Can anyone who has successfully export english text with chinese characters
mixed in to CSV help?
Thank you very much,
Ai Leen

Strictly speaking, a csv file won't contain HTML markup, so you should
probably just stick to delimited value lines in your file. Have you
tried changing the Content Type to text/plain and then save your PHP
script as utf-8. It's this last one that sometimes causes problems, as I
believe it is needed for PHP to correctly output utf-8.

I've been trying to locate this file and could not find it in the downloads
area and got this message when I tried - http://pecl4win.php.net/
"The pecl4win build box is temporarily out of service. We're preparing a
new build system. "
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi.
I'm trying to use the printer functions in my php development.
I add the php_printer.dll in the "c:/php/ext/" path.
I add the line in the php.ini file like that: extension=php_printer.dll.
But that doesn't work and gives the next error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function printer_open().
What can I do?
Thanks for your help!
