I'm trying to create a form whereby I can edit the variables with just the form.
It will be something like a form for me to change the database
details(username,server,password) in a .inc I'm using.
Is there anyway for me to pass information into another file's variable and have it
saved in there?
If anyone have seen Newspro (CGI) before, when you edit some parts in a form, the
information will be saved. How can it be done in PHP?

I though in flipping through the manual that I had come across a command
that gives the location of where the script is being run from, but I
have been searching for half an hour and can't find it now. Isn't it
something like $php_self? Anyone kow what I am talking about?
Thanks,
Andrew V. Romero
to reply personally, remove all numbers from address.
Hey!
You could use 'phpinfo()' to find what you seek. $PHP_SELF does give you the
current location of the php script, but with 'phpinfo()' you could read
about other
values that supply miscellanies related information.
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Hi,
I have set up a form to register the users to the site. The users are
allowed to register only once. When the user submits the form the same
script will check the validity of the form and displays error messages and
if okay, updates the database.
I want to set up an option in the form in which when the user once submits
and after that if they click on the back button (browser back) it should
say the 'page expired' as I have seen with some Perl scripts. The users
should not be allowed to go back to the page and resubmit. Can any body
suggest a way to accomplish this.
thanks

You can use javascript and set the history length to 0
<script language="javascript">
<!--
history.length=0;
// -->
</script>

Hi,
Anyone able to tell me where i can get a traceroute php script from?
I've got mysql & php running in a windows millenium
system (yes, sad, I know), and I'm running phpmyadmin 2.1.0
Anyway, I have a database with three cells of information:
item_name
item_list
item_description
Each cell contains numerous pieces of data seperated
by a ¤ symbol (for exploding into an array). There is alot
of data in each cell, and when I go to choose "edit" or
"delete" the browser does nothing.
I thought it was just an IE error, but the same happens
in Netscape 6.0 and Netscape 4.8. So I skimmed through
the source, copied the URL and pasted it into a new window.
Only about half of the URL pasted. The only thing I can figure
is that the address is too long. If this is the case, I'm trying to
find out if anyone has tried converting phpmyadmin to use form
buttons as opposed to parsing the data directly through the URL
as a way to bypass this.
Or if no one has tried that (and god I hope you have) does anyone
know of another database management program like this that DOES
use form buttons?
I need the suexec feature. so i recompile the php4 to cgi. but i have
hundreds of php scripts under the existing web site. it's not a easy task to
add the line
#!/usr/local/bin/php
to each php file.
Anyone know is there any easy way to configure the httpd.conf without modify
hundreds of php files? Thanks in advance

If you can't modify apache to do what you need, you could always write a
perl script to open up every file named *.php and add the line to the
top....it wouldn't be that hard, especially if you have any experience with
perl...

It's much more than that. Perl doesn't cache compiled scripts either, or
rather, its caching is extremely limited, and IMHO pretty much unusable
(e.g., you have to restart the server every time a script changes). PHP
alone is as fast as Perl (and slightly faster, as the benchmarks
show). PHP coupled with Zend Cache is probably several times quicker than
Perl for most Web purposes.

Hi Chris,
The Zend Encoder does what you've described (compiles your php script so if you look
at the source, you see just "garbage").
To encode files with the Zend Encoder, you don't need anything but the Encoder itself.
To run the encoded files you need to have the Zend Optimizer. The people you program
the components for will need to install it on their server (it is freely available for
download at http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-optimizer.php).

Yeah,
I just can't figure out how to do it.
Anyone care to enlighten me?

Sounds like you just need to use $PHP_Self with your other variables after it,
that way it gets the right settings
ex:
echo $PHP_SELF$color$etc

Subject: [PHP] form post without pathinfo
Hi :-)
How can I convert from this:
<form method=POST action="<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?>/approve">
</form>
...snip
} elseif ($pathinfo == "/approve") {
do something...
to something that posts to itself without altering the path?
My problem is, I'm using themes which are dependent on the path, so if I post
using the method above, the path changes and screws up the images, colors, etc after
the user submits.
TIA!
