Hello,
I've been looking at this to long, and am not seeing the issue. When i
had the below php code set to !empty instead of !isset as it is now I
got the value of the name variable echoed back, yet on sql insert that
field, along with all others are empty, though no error is generated,
just a bogus record is inserted.
When I changed to !isset I'm now getting the die statement echoed as
if no value was passed from the form. This is not the case, I filled
it out completely.
Can anyone tell me where this code went wrong?
Thanks.
Dave.
Html form:
<h3>Fields marked with a * (star) are required.</h3>
<form method="post" action="">
<div>
<label for="txtname">Name*:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" /> <br />
</div>
<div>
<input id="reset" name="reset" type="reset"/>
</div>
<div>
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
php Code:
// Check if fields are isset
echo "Field Checs.<br />";
if (!isset($_POST['name'])) {
echo "The value of Name is " . $_POST['name']. "<br />";
} else {
die('ERROR: Missing value - Event Name');
}

Sure.

.... the line above.
(Hint: isset != empty)
(Another hint: with !empty(), you told PHP, "if it's not empty."
Now, with !isset(), you're saying, "if it's not set.")
(Answer: Remove the exclamation point from !isset().)

More importantly ...
isset != !empty
$a = Null;
$b = '';
// $c = undefined;
$d = 'Hello';
isset($a) = False vs True = empty($a)

I would prefer to use is_array() here:
if (is_array($val))

At this point, you've just proved that $val is an array (whichever test you
use!), so simply foreach it like one. I know you know how to do that as you did
it with $_REQUEST above!

I need to know the values of the array (IE to know what the user is

Thank you.

Hello,
I've got what is probably a simple question. I've got a site with a
footer include file. I want to have a section that displays the last
time the page was modified. So for example say the index.php was last
modified today and another page was modified two days ago. When the
include is run on the other page it says something like this page was
last modified and it would be two days ago, but for the index file I
get this page was last modified and today's date.
Thanks.
Dave.
Dave:
A bit late but try this:
<?php
echo "Last modified: " . date ("F d Y H:i:s.", getlastmod());

Wha--? I never heard of that function before (getlastmod)! Kewl.

Thank you for your answer Ted, You are right, well, I do have my
login form, but what I do not understand is how to implement switch
statement.
switch ($level){
case 0:
include ("admin.php");
break;
case 1:
include ("sales.php");
break;
case 2:
include ("superuser.php");
break;
}
Try:
case 0:
header('location:admin.php');
exit();
break;
Instead of includes.
Now I'm wondering if every page has to have something like:
if ($level==2){
} else {
}
Of course, you must check the level of permission granted to the user
before allowing them to see any protected page.
I would suggest using a $_SESSION['level'] during logon to set the
level of permission and then on each protected page do something like
this:
$level = isset($_SESSION['level']) ? $_SESSION['level'] : null;
if($level < 2)
{
// redirect to somewhere else
header('location:admin.php');
exit();
}
// this will allow the super-user (level 2) to see everything
while redirecting everyone else elsewhere

Hi All,
Need help in resolving the below problem-
I would like to get the whole comma separated string into an array value-
1. $postText = "chapters 5, 6, 7, 8";
OR
2. $postText = "chapters 5, 6;
OR
3. $postText = "chapters 5, 6, 7";
What i have done so far is-
preg_match('/chapter[s]*[ ]*(\d+, \d+, \d+)/i', $postText, $matches);
The above will exactly match the third value $postText = "chapters 5, 6, 7";
By Above $matches will contain a value of : $matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';
Now i need a SINGLE regular expression which can match first, second
variable above or any number of comma separated string and IMPORTANTLY
provide me that whole comma separated sting value (as above) in single array
key element like below-
$matches[1] = '5, 6, 7';
OR
$matches[1] = '5, 6';
OR
$matches[1] = '5, 6, 7, 8, 9';
Also I have to use regular expression only as the flow of the code does not
permit to use any other method to get comma separated string from the
master/base string.
Thanks,
Gaurav Kumar

Not tested, but I think it should work:
preg_match_all('/(\d+),/', $postText, $matches);

Try ...
preg_match('/chapters? ?((?:\d++(?:, )?)+)/im', $old_string, $a_Matches))
chapters? ?((?:\d++(?:, )?)+)
Match the characters “chapter” literally «chapter»
Match the character “s” literally «s?»
Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving back
as needed (greedy) «?»
Match the character “ ” literally « ?»
Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving back
as needed (greedy) «?»
Match the regular expression below and capture its match into
backreference number 1 «((?:\d++(?:, )?)+)»
Match the regular expression below «(?:\d++(?:, )?)+»
Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible,
giving back as needed (greedy) «+»
Match a single digit 0..9 «\d++»
Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible,
without giving back (possessive) «++»
Match the regular expression below «(?:, )?»
Between zero and one times, as many times as possible, giving
back as needed (greedy) «?»
Match the characters “, ” literally «, »

I understand that technically there are more than 52 weeks in a year.
Well at least google says 1 year = 52.177457 weeks.
So I run the command:
php > echo date('W' , mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, date('Y')));
53
As you can see the result is 53.
Any thoughts on this?

Hello guys, i was just doing some testing and was wondring if echo is faster
than print or print_r. I think since echo is a language construct and
print_r is a function, echo is faster.
Please let me know.

People in the past have said that echo and print as actually the same call
within PHP core system. I have never dug through the core code that makes up
PHP so I cannot confirm this claim.
print_r on the other hand is a totally different thing. It takes and processes
strings, arrays, objects, etc... So, with that said, it will be much slower. It
has to detect what type of object it is and then deal with all the pieces. And
then in the end, output everything to the screen.

Hey Brandon, do you think you could spend some time reading the Google
talk manual? It's kind of irritating seeing your "Brandon Rampersad
wants to chat" spam on the list repeatedly.
As for which is faster... your assertion is right.
Cheers,
Rob.

than print or print_r. I think since echo is a language construct and
print_r is a function, echo is faster.
Please let me know.
Thanks

biggest difference:
http://php.net/print
print() returns 1, always - which means it's returning a value
http://php.net/echo
doesn't return anything
Sara Golemon's "how long is a piece of string" blog post
(http://blog.libssh2.org/index.php?/archives/28-How-long-is-a-piece-of-string.html
which appears to be down or something right now) I believe shows the
different opcodes (using VLD - http://pecl.php.net/package/vld)
This is a micro-level optimization. I believe echo is "faster" or
"less intensive" because it does not need to return a value, but on
modern CPUs saving a couple ops is probably not that big of a deal
(even thousands of them) - I think the general consensus is "there is
really no difference" last I saw. Only very very small optimizations.

Well,
I've captured using wireshark both communications:
The one that works
POST /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Y_BS_SIP_DEV:cc_soap_snd_sip_dev
HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "http://sap.com/xi/WebService/soap1.1";
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Host: X.Y.Z.W:50000
Content-Length: 535
Using cUrl I tried to mimic the behavior. The content is the same (I've
even tried to reproduce some of the headers). but I get an error.
POST /XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:Y_BS_SIP_DEV:cc_soap_snd_sip_dev
HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic Ym9sOmJlbW9sMjAxMA==
Host: X.Y.Z.W:50000
Accept: */*
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
SOAPAction: "http://sap.com/xi/WebService/soap1.1";
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1
Content-Length: 535
Any ideas?
