I placed an example of your code on my site.
I simply pasted exactly what you had, minus the actual mailing portion.

If you check the box you will see the array, if you do not check the box no 
array.

Forgive my prior post, I had not woke up yet.
So the wording is missing things though, yet not put to email mid sentence.

Code from site.

if(isset($_POST['reallife']))

print_r($_POST);

I tested your code and besides adding a form to the beginning it works.

If you want to see the results of the posted for try.

print_r($_POST);

you can see every position of the array passed and validate they are passing as 
intended.

Try this.

//if reallife is not set (Checked it will not pass)
// I am pretty sure I read where someone had responded with the isset


if(isset($_POST['reallife']))
{

print_r($_POST);

myself php.  The php portion will be posted first, than the html form 
related to the php.  I've got the code inside tags similar to the "code" 
tag which only serves to serarate the php code from the html form.

$name = $_POST['firstname'] . ' ' . $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

if($_POST['reallife'] == "on")
{
$to = 'b...@benbrent.com';

$subject ='test email two';

This actual code that is on the portion of my hosting account which I 
use as my test server.  In my opinion, it's much cheaper to pay for a 
hosting account to use as a test server to teach myself php than it is 
to pay some collage professor to teach it to you only to be slapped in 
the face by having him assume you're learning php to be a freelance 
coder working for a company that does freelance work.  The truth is, I 
only have an interest in learning php to use in my own business and when 
I get good enough, I may do some freelancing on the side on sites like 
Scriptlance, but my main focus will be my own business and for anyone to 
have the audacity that I plan on working for someone else my whole life 
pisses me off, so that's why I'd much rather teach myself than to take a 
college class on php.

Thanks,

hello,

I'd like to know the proper code to use in a php script that processes a form with a checkbox in order to send one email if the checkbox has been checked and another email if the checkbox hasn't. I tried if($check == true) and I tried putting the word "true" in double quotes, and both of them caused the "unexpected variable" syntax error. The only problem is, all I could think to use was that line of code I just used, I'm not sure what the proper syntax is for checkbox when using the if statement to send one email when the checkbox is checked and a different email when it's not checked. I'm wanting to send an email to the site admin with the information given by the person who filled out the form that contains the checkbox.

Thanks,

Ben

Ben:

Here you go:

and if you want to make it sticky:

Hello,

i have installed php 5.2.14 on an embedded system. I have run a couple of
test scripts and everything works fine,
 but i can't get "shell_exec" to work. When i invoke "shell_exec", the
script doesn't get interpreted, instead
i get prompted to download the whole .php file. I have tried both /bin/php
and /bin/php-cgi- same problem.
When i try to execute it per command line instead of web server, with both
php and php-cgi i get "Segmentation fault"
and nothing happens. I use busybox http as a web server, if it's relevant.
Does anybody have an idea what the problem
might be? Any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Boyan

It seems most probably a permission problem.  If I were you I would
check the permissions on the bin directory and the files in it.  PHP
will probably run under the uid of the webserver, which, on most
systems is either "apache" or "nobody" depending on the configuration.

Hello Richard,

thank you for the prompt reply. I just tried to follow your suggestion, but
i couldn't solve my problem:

1. I  have started the server with user "nobody". All the binaries i was
trying to execute(e.g. /bin/ls) were "chown"-ed to the user "nobody"
Problem presisted. Than i "chown" -ed /var/www to the user "nobody". Than
the php and php-cgi interpreters as well- same thing.
I tried the same with users "adm" and even "root"

2. I than gave the executables all the permissions possible("777"- i know it
is dangerous, but i am just testing)- still nothing.
 I copied the binaries from /bin to /var/www and tried to execute them
with all kinds of permissions and "chown"'s- didn't work

3. Than i moved to the command line interpreter: i tried to execute it in
/var/www and in the home folder. The permissions were also adjusted. I
executed it with root privileges- i always get "Segmentation fault". One
more thing- if i omit the arguments in shell_exec( "$output = shell_exec();)
i get "Missing parameters" but no "Segmentation fault"

After going over this a thousand times in my head and on sever.
Here are a few reasons why a shell_exec will not function.

First I tested the PHP CLI
Can I see my version of php.
$output = shell_exec('php -v');
Echo $output;
If I am not getting the information about the php version. Is shell_exec for
php and http on?

In your php.ini file there will be a section called disable_functions.
If you are sure that shell_exec is not in the list.


If neither of these are an issue for you, It has to be a permissions issue.


I do not claim to be an expert in the shell_exec area of php, I cannot
duplicate your error.

Gary:

Both locations? I think you are confusing yourself.You either have the images stored in the database OR the file system, but not both.

However, I think you have the images stored as files within the file directory, such as:

http://yourdomain.com/images/picture1.jpg

Now, in your database you should have only the path name stored (i.e., images/picture1.jpg) and not the image. However, I usually only store the file names and NOT the path. That way I can move the images to where ever I want and only change their reference in the HTML.

To recap, to show any image you use the HTML img tag, such as:

<img src="images/picture1.jpg">

To tie this statement to a database, you need to pull out the image name (or file path) from the database and use that. Something like this:

$query = "SELECT file_name FROM pictures WHERE id = '$id' ";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die();
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$file_name = $row['file_name'];

And then in the HTML you would use:

<img src="images/<?php echo($file_name);?>">

If you can get to this part, then we can deal with placing a watermark on the image before showing it.

Please let me know when you get this part to work.

Cheers,

tedd

PS: There is no need to use a LONG BLOB in your database -- that's just a waste of space.

Thank you for your reply.

I have the images being displayed in the browser fine, my issue was that I 
was not able to get the watermark to show up.  I believe the issue was here

$img=imagecreatefromjpeg($_GET['pic']);

in that 'pic' is asking for the image that I wanted the watermark displayed 
on, and what I put in did not work.  Since the image file name is being 
stored in the DB, I tried

$row_WADAimages["image_file"]

as well as a few others.

What do you suggest I changed "longblob" to, and is it safe to do so?

Again, thank you for your help.

if they are stored in both locations.

 Gary:

 Both locations? I think you are confusing yourself.You either have the
 images stored in the database OR the file system, but not both.

 However, I think you have the images stored as files within the file
 directory, such as:

 http://yourdomain.com/images/picture1.jpg

 Now, in your database you should have only the path name stored (i.e.,
 images/picture1.jpg) and not the image. However, I usually only store the
 file names and NOT the path. That way I can move the images to where ever
 I want and only change their reference in the HTML.

 To recap, to show any image you use the HTML img tag, such as:

 <img src="images/picture1.jpg">

 To tie this statement to a database, you need to pull out the image name
 (or file path) from the database and use that. Something like this:

 $query = "SELECT file_name FROM pictures WHERE id = '$id' ";
 $result = mysql_query($query) or die();
 $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
 $file_name = $row['file_name'];

 And then in the HTML you would use:

 <img src="images/<?php echo($file_name);?>">

 If you can get to this part, then we can deal with placing a watermark on
 the image before showing it.

 Please let me know when you get this part to work.

 Cheers,

 tedd

 PS: There is no need to use a LONG BLOB in your database -- that's just a
 waste of space.

gary:

At some point you're going to have to learn:

1. The difference between a VARCHR and a LONGBLOB. Question: If you are simply storing the name of an image file, then why use a LONGBLOB to do that? Please look up the difference between the two and post your findings here;

2. The GET (again) is *not* the way to get the name of the image. I have shown you how to pull the name of the image via a database call -- so why do you go back to your old code telling me what the problem is? If you already know what the problem is, then why ask me?

3. If you want my help, then use what I have shown you instead of going back to your past problematic solution.

It looks to me as if you are not willing to learn but rather are looking for a simple solution. I am not going to write your code for you.

Now, please use my last email and write code to present an image as I demonstrated to you. When you can do that, then we can address how to put a watermark on the image. However, if you fail to do that and continue to bring up old nonsensical code, then I will discontinue commenting re this thread.

Cheers,

Ok, that was pretty messy code. But what I could glean from it is this. (See your code at http://pastie.org/1262989).

Line 238: <table border="2" cellpadding="0" width="100%" ><tr><td width="auto"><div class="WADADetailsMainImageArea"><img class="WADADetailsMainImage" style="border:#FFFFFF 6px solid" src="images/<?php echo $row_WADAimages["image_file"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_WADAimages["description"]; ?>" /></div></td><td valign="top" width="25%"> <div class="WADADetailsSubHeading" style="padding-left: 15px;">This photo was taken in <?php echo $row_WADAimages["where_taken"]; ?></div>

You've got an img tag there, indicating the src of:

        images/<?php echo $row_WADAimages["image_file"]; ?>

Is this the image file you want to watermark?

The code there has me confused. Is this all one script? Or is it multiple scripts?

If it's all one script, it won't work the way you intend. The script emits data before it gets to the point where you have set up to watermark the image. Thus, the point where you call header to change the Content-type won't work. Then there is more data emitted after the image.

Am I reading this correctly? Is it all one big script?

If it is, what you really need to do, is at the point where you want the watermarked image to appear, is put out some HTML like so:

<img src="watermark.php?src=images/<?php echo $row_WADAimages["image_file"]; ?>" .. other stuff ..>

Then put that code you've got in lines 247-272 in the script watermark.php and it should work as is.

Hi
Using a php search form produces a nil return on any information that is
capitalised within a mysql database; retrieval is fine for non-capitalised
data. Could someone tweak this please? The relevant code I think is as
follows:

// Description is a BLOB in MySQL... we need to UPPER the blob
//values to make the search case-insensitive.

        $query = "SELECT C.*, A.surname, A.name, A.surname_prefix, A.id AS user
FROM pbcs_user A, pbcs_join_table_user_app B, pbcs_appointment C        ".

"WHERE A.id = B.user_id AND B.appointment_id = C.id ".

"AND LOWER(C.description) LIKE '%".strtolower($search_for)."%' AND

C.start_time > $start_time AND C.start_time < $end_time ORDER BY
C.start_time";
        $result = pbcs_db_query($query);

Thanks
Michael
Melb, Aust.

Why are you using a BLOB?

You are just storing text data, right? If so, then a VARCHAR will work.

Additionally, using a BLOB changes things somewhat in that all data are stored as binary strings and as such makes all comparisons case-sensitive. Too many double negatives for me.

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate facebook to show the wall in a site.

ok, i generate the auth_token here:

https://login.facebook.com/code_gen.php?api_key=API_KEY&v=1.0

And put the rest connection configuration here:

$facebookArr = array(
"appapikey" => $appapikey,
"appidkey" => $appidkey,
"appsecret" => $appsecret,
"appcallbackurl" => $appcallbackurl,
'cookie' => true,
'token' => $token

);
        $fb = new FacebookRestClient($facebookArr['appapikey'],
$facebookArr['appsecret']);

        $result = $fb->call_method('facebook.auth.getSession',
                        array('auth_token' =>$facebookArr['token'],
'generate_session_secret' => true));

Its work, but only the first time, if i refresh i get this exception:

exception 'FacebookRestClientException' with message 'Invalid parameter'

If i generate the token again, its work for the first time again.

Please someone have any recent tutorial to integrate facebook to some php
site?

There isn't a php user. If php scripts are executed through the web server,
