dunno, what doesn't work exactly
but what if you try:

$array = split ("\n", $contents);
$stuff = array_count_values ($array);
echo $stuff["nuts"];

It should work, but it's becomg a depreciated practice and may break in
future versions. Always quote a non-numeric array key.

Beyond that, use print_r($array) and see if there is a "nuts" key in there
at all.

Hello.

How can i get the IP address of the user who's browsing my current script?
how can i do it via JavaScript and PHP please.

And if i got an IP address such 192.168.0.2
i believe it will be returned as a string....Is there is a function to
encode it to an Integer and the decode it back to a string? or i have to
code it myself?

$REMOTE_ADDR should do the trick (use 'phpinfo()' to see for yourself)

It is a string, so you couldn't make an integer out of it anymore than making
any other string into an integer. The '.' isn't a legal digit.

You'll have to split it up into different blocks (use split)

No! I can encode IP address to an Integer:
192.168.0.1 consider as: a.b.c.d
and now the formula goes:
a shl 24 + b shl 16 + c shl 8 + d

PHP3 (returns a float, not an integer):

function inet_aton($a) {
    $inet = 0.0;
    $t = explode(".", $a);
    for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
        $inet *= 256.0;
        $inet += $t[$i];
    };
    return $inet;
}

function inet_ntoa($n) {
    $t=array(0,0,0,0);
    $msk = 16777216.0;
    $n += 0.0;
    if ($n < 1)
        return('&nbsp;');
    for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
        $k = (int) ($n / $msk);
        $n -= $msk * $k;
        $t[$i]= $k;
        $msk /=256.0;
    };
    $a=join('.', $t);
    return($a);
}

You can use MySql's LEFT() or even substring()
example:
SELECT substring(address,1, 20) as _addr FROM tablename

and you will have to look for field  "_addr" in mysql results.

print_r() does have that bug, not var_dump().

I was hoping to avoid concatenation to make my code more legible (less illegible?).

I take it then that there is no equivalent for the use of ` in Unix.

You need to use the string concantenation operator (a period) to use things
like $test++, else PHP get's confused.

> echo "Value of test: $test++ <BR>";

To get that to work like you want it to, you need only do:

echo 'Value of test: ' . $test++ . ' <BR>';

It's functionally the same, no brackets needed. If you want it to be
evaluated BEFORE it's echoed, you need to use:

echo 'Value of test: ' . ++$test . ' <BR>';

Short answer: nope, sorry lol ;)


Personally though I concatenate every string I have that needs to have a
variable in it. Makes it so the variables are highlighted in my syntax
editor for one thing, but it's also a bit faster to use only single quoted
strings with string concatenation, rather than just stuff them all inside a
double quoted string.

Not that it would really effect you much unless you had a hugely long script
though.

For internet explorer:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/design/color/colorname.asp


Due to the near randomness with which different browsers render color names,
and often some browsers support nearly no color names, to avoid headaches
use one simple rule: Never user color names.

Just stick to hex values unless you absolutely _have_ to use the names.

If you have problems with hex, use this:

http://www.visibone.com/

Great collection of tools to fine the exact color you want.

Simply using addslashes () or the magic_quotes_gpc setting will do fine 
for strings.
For numbers just cast them to int before inserting 'em in the query:
$MyNum = (int) $MyNum;
$Query = "INSERT INTO foo (intval) VALUES ($MyNum)';

Note: This won't do what you expect, since the ".+" part will match as 
much as possible. 
Example: For "This [is a] string [with] multi [brack]ets"
it will match 
"is a] string [with] multi [brack"
A better solution would be "/\[(.+?)\]/"
The '?' after the '+' tells it to match as little as possible.

Little note on the side: htmlentities () is usually better then 
htmlspecialchars (). 
(1) It has a shorter name *g* and (2) it really takes care of *all* HTML 
specialities (e.g. umlauts)

Dear all,

I have apache 1.3.19-3fp and have newly installed PHP 4 using from

My problems are:
1-Apache freezes and nothing goes untill I restart it
2-Webmin stops itself.
Furthermore if I give the follow command it sems that no apache but I am
sure apache is running
look:

[root@proxy mohamedou]# rpm qa|grep httpd
[root@proxy mohamedou]# rpm qa|grep apache
[root@proxy mohamedou]# rpm qa|grep http
                        [--httpproxy <host>] [--httpport <port>]
                        [--httpproxy <host>] [--httpport <port>]
                        [--httpproxy <host>] [--httpport <port>]
[root@proxy mohamedou]# rpm qa|grep apache

I thank U

Moh

Does she use multiple browsers for your site? I think she is doing this.

I'm not sure if session "files" handler is using flock() or not. It could be
failing to open file, since file is locked. (I think it should lock file, since
it's possible to get length 0 file w/o it) This problem will not occur unless
someone accessing web site with multiple browsers that have the same session ID.
This is possible when cookie is used for session.

Since "files" handler is bundled, you have 2 options.

1) Modify "files" handler in session module.
2) Make your own session handler.   (If you use database, why not use the
database?)

Hope this helps,

Her ;)


Seriously though, is it possible that she stopped browsing the site long
enough for the session to expire and be cleaned up by the garbage handler,
then she continued on the page with a PHPSESSID that no longer existed?

In that case the error would occur only once, as a new sessid with the same
number would be created right then.

I was curious about your post, so I take a look at the module source. It seems you could be right if O_EXCL is not defined when PHP is compiled. If O_EXCL is defined, it creates if there is no session data file. -- Yasuo Ohgaki ""Plutarck"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 9bmjl2$rc4$[EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:9bmjl2$rc4$[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > What to fix? > > > Her ;) > > > Seriously though, is it possible that she stopped browsing the site long > enough for the session to expire and be cleaned up by the garbage handler, > then she continued on the page with a PHPSESSID that no longer existed? > > In that case the error would occur only once, as a new sessid with the same > number would be created right then. > > > -- > Plutarck > Should be working on something... > ...but forgot what it was. > > > "Maxim Maletsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > DC017B079D81D411998C009027B7112A015ED114@EXC-TYO-01">news:DC017B079D81D411998C009027B7112A015ED114@EXC-TYO-01... > > > > hello guys... > > > > On one of our websites, where we use sessions, a funny error have > happened. > > > > <err> > > Warning: open(/tmp/sess_b5ad1e0878dee63fa8a780df44af3ea7, O_RDWR) failed: > > File exists (17) in page.japaninc.inc on line 109 > > </err> > > > > The funny side of it is that no one has ever seen it except our manager > > (what a luck) from his PC only.

Then at least the error message should be worded differently. Failure 
because the file exists should be impossible for open (..., O_RDWR)

I believe imagemagick has an option where you can specify a single dimension
(x or y) and it will set that dimension accordingly and automatically scale
the other dimension.  This should be covered in the manual pages or --help
output of the program.

Yeah, it is unfortunate that ImageMagick uses those chars since they have 
other meanings on the cmd line.

just escape it ( \> ) and that should work ( works on a linux box )

I use ImageMagik all the time for thumbnail creations...  this doesn't 
resize the image, it creates a new image, a thumbnail... but the principle 
is the same....

$cWidth = 175;
$picture_src = "fullSize/somepic.jpg";
$thumb_dest = "fthumbNail/somepic.jpg";

$aImageInfo = getimagesize( $picture_src );

if( $aImageInfo[0] < $cWidth ) {
         exec("convert -geometry $cWidth -colors 256 -colorspace 
yuv  $picture_src $thumb_dest" );
}

Hi!

This is what I do:

  if (!empty($picture)) {
    $size = GetImageSize ("pics/$picture");
    if ($size[0] >= '175') {
      $width = '175';
      $height = $size[1] * ($width / $size[0]);
    } else {
      $width = $size[0];
      $height = $size[1];
    }
  }

echo "<img src=\"pics\$picture\" height=\"$height\" width=\"$width\">";

This is a neat bit of code to fill in image height and width info but it 
does not affect the actual file size like resizing the image would

I use cookie to protect my web pages:

setcookie("cookiename", "cookievalue", time()+1800);  // set the expiry
time to 30 minutes

The time zone of my server is set to GMT+8.
The server is running on a Redhat 7, apache and PHP 4 as a apache module.

Now some users always get cookie expired error.  I found that they are from
different time zones, i.e. GMT+6, GMT+5.
The users use IE to access my web pages.

Could anyone tell me how to set the cookie independent of the time zone?

Thanks!

Greetings.

    I am having some problems with the code itself! I have done like so,
that whenever peopel wishes to see the "onliners", I start a function called
DelOld(). This will not decrease server speed, nor create conflicts when
writing to temporary files and so forth.
    Now, I tried to gather the following into an exploded array:

    // the date output
    $date_output = date("Y-m-d-H-i-A");

    As you see, I've seperated all with a "-" so I can simply call [0], [1],
[2],... if I want something. Now, How can I compare if a user is away for
like 10 minutes, or 30 minutes? I have a function called
GetLoggDateofUser($Username) which will retreive the  $date_output, but with
colons and spaces, like so:
    date("Y-m-d H:i A").

    Do you or anyone else have any suggestions?

- Richard






Hi,

Does anyone know how I can list all the files begining with help in one of my 
pages.

So I have a dir which has various files, like so:

help_me.php
help_you.php
help_us.php

Is there some command I can use to select all the files and then print them 
out?

TIA
Ade






$path='/root/helpfiles/';
$dir_handle = opendir($path);

  while ($file = readdir($dir_handle)) {
if ((ereg("help",$file)){
INCLUDE "$path$file";

OR

echo '<A HREF=".$path$file.'">'.$file.'</A>

}
        }

For Palm/PocketPC/blala handhelds one can use AvantGo channels
(http://www.avantgo.com/) to get content to the handheld. Together with
PHP to rip/strip/filter/create the content it's a solution for my needs.

    Is there an easy way to generate generic passwords based on

There is code in the source for NetHack to create pronounceable words.
Also, combining words would probably be somewhat easy.  A lazy coder could
import a unix dictionary file into a MySQL table and do "select word from
word order by rand limit 2" and just combine the results.

I believe there is an article on phpbuilder.com on "pronouncable passwords",
which is probably what you'll want to actually do. Using real words would
just be way too resource intensive.

I'd give you the direct link to the article, but it seems my internet
connection only works for NNTP and ftp downloads...my HTTP has broken for
the moment, and I have no idea why ;(

you could try swapping out some letters with
look-alike alphanum characters to make the password
a bit more secure....

a=@
s=$
d=&

thus, "password" = "p@$$wor&"

Just include() it.

Easiest way I've possibly found is to shove it inside of a function which
will echo it out, but with all the variables in their proper place.

When I want to display something I just use:

$front_page .= 'Text goes here';

In the function outout_html() I just put $front_page wherever I want it to
be displayed (in the main table). If I'd like to change the format a page is
displayed in I can just adjust the function or make a new one entirely, and
I can avoid making a call to string replacement functions.


Seems to work pretty well. I stick the declaration in a global file that all
my scripts use to keep things simple.

I haven't used a tag other than <p>, </p>, and <br> in weeks.

Is there any special way or anything I should know about opening connections
to 2 different databases in a php script?

thanks

Randy





All the database connection functions return a connection identifier which
you can then use in any subsequent database function calls.

I am trying to update two tables at once from a form using two Insert
statements: 

Should I be using two different variable names for $query?  Only one table
updates when I use the same name like this.  2 different variable names
give me an error.

$query = "INSERT INTO $table1 VALUES ('$menu_id', '$server',
'$menunumber', '$menuname')";
$query = "INSERT INTO $table2
VALUES('$submenuid','$submenu','$subrefmenu', '$submreflink')";

$result = mysql_db_query($dbname, $query); 

I use one form using one submit button:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" 
                            action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>">


<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
<INPUT type=reset value="Reset"> 

// Display Results if there are results
if ($result) {

MySQL error 0: menu_id: NULL

You need to run the mysql_db_query() twice. Once for each statement, and between the 
assignments:
$query = ...;
$mysql_db_query(...);
$query = ...;
$mysql_db_query(...);

Hi, I ran into strange problem. I was not able to configure my php.ini file
so it would show up in PHP when running on my IIS5 server (at least showing
up in via php_info()) so I tried to delete all the php.ini files on my
computer (I have a backup though :) and restarted the computer - you know
what, the PHP works perfectly and show the default settings! How come?

I'm using version 4.0.5RC1 as CGI with IIS5 server on W2K.

Has anyone experience the same? How did you get back to controlling you PHP?

Hi there
I have some scripts that do a search in a MySQL database
table.
I want to be able to return rows that match a query, in
order of relevancy.
For example, say I have a table that has the following data

|row_id|  data
|------|-------------------------------------
|  1   |  cat
|  2   |  cat cat
|  3   |  cat cat cat
|  4   |  cat cat
|  5   |  cat cat cat cat cat cat cat
|  6   |  cat
|  7   |  cat cat cat cat
|  8   |  cat cat cat cat cat

I want to do a search that would return row_id 5 first, then

row_id 8, then row_id 7, then 3, etc.
So I want to order the return by relevancy.
What should the sql query look like?
select * from table where data like '%cat%' order by ?????

thanks
-jen

Note that a LIKE query like that is going to be very slow.  You are
better off defining those fields as fulltext fields and using MySQL's
built-in fulltext search capability which will automatically return a
relevance value for each hit.

See http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/u/Fulltext_Search.html

Try "MATCH (FULLTEXT index columns) AGAINST ('keyword')"

Check the MySQL manual at: <http://www.mysql.com> and search for "match 
against" or "fulltext"
You need to build FULLTEXT indexes on the columns you want to search 
before you can use the above syntax.

However, it will search and sort by relevance.

However, note that MySQL does not include stopwords in the FULLTEXT index 
--and it currently considers any word of three characters or less to be a 
"stopword".  So if you really are searching for words as short as "cat", 
this isn't the solution (or else you're going to need to make some 
modifications to the MySQL source and re-compile).

how do I make sure the right connection is being used when I have 2
persistent connections.   is there any documentation on this ?

thanks

Randy






Well, you won't have two persistent connections to the same database (for
the same username/password).  So, as long as you use the link identifier as
the third argument to the mysql_query function (or mysql...whichever you are
using), that is guarantee enough.

Hi,

    Is there any function exists which to open a specific file, then find a
specific word, if found, then replace that word with something else.

re: I know fopen is to open, read, and write to specific file, but not
finding and replacing..

Thank you


Mark





Hello,
something like this:

$filename="your_file_name.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r+") or die ("Could not open file");
$content = fread ($fp, filesize($filename));
$new_content = str_replace("old_word", "new_word", $content);
rewind($fp);
fwrite($fp, $new_content);
ftruncate($fp, ftell($fp));
fclose($fp);

Unless someone knows something I don't, the only way I can think of is:

rename file to backup
Open 'infile' backup
Open new outfile (original)
Go through each line reading from infile writing to outfile until you find
the word on the line.

Then do a string replace for that line and write the new line.

Continue this way thoughout the file until the end.

In addition to the solution mentioned using PHP filesystem functions, you
could use Unix command like grep, sed, etc. called from within your PHP
script to accomplish this.  Or you could use a search and replace program
like rpl (happens to be free) which you can download from
http://www.laffeycomputer.com/rpl.html.  rpl's syntax is very simple - "rpl
'old_string' 'new_string' filename" and you can call it using one of the
program execution functions or by enclosing it within backticks.

Hello,

I am a Newbie at PHP and I have what may be a simple question.

I will try and describe my situation the best I can.

I am trying to setp up a form that does an automatic execution between mine and 
another's site.  I have a list of tasks that need to be done.  They are all the same 
tasks, but each have different variables from the 
database, like codes and amounts, etc.

When I click on "Perform Now" on one of the tasks, it works perfectly., but then when 
I clcik on the next task, it stated that I already did that task.  It appears that it 
is using the same info from the last task, instead of 
updating the form with the new task's info.  Even when I hit refresh it says the same 
thing.  The only way I can go on to the next task is by opening an entirely new 
window.  This defeats the purpose of time saving, 
because if I open a new window, I have to type in my login and password information to 
even get into the admin section.  Then have to click on the link to get tot the page.  
Then I would have to do it all over again for 
the over two hundred tasks I have.

I hope you can understand what I am trying to do.  Is there a code that resets the 
variables to nill, so that it can grab the new info?  

Hopefully, you won't need the code that I've used in order to answer my problem, but 
if you do, I will privately email it to you.

Thank you in advance for your help for my situation.

Anthony

if you have lots of variables, this might be cumbersome, and there's
probably a better way to do it, but this will do what you're asking for.....

Hey Folks:

I am using PHP sessions in IE 5.5 and NN 6 successfully, but I am not able
to retrieve the data from my registered variables in Communicator 4.7. I am
passing the session ID via SID and have turned off cookies in each browser
to simplify testing, although Communicator 4.7 doesn't work with cookies
enabled either.

Research shows that with Communicator 4.7 the session ID is being carried
from one page to the next successfully; however, the registered variables
are not. Outside of the page where they are set and registered, they are
not registered nor set even though the session ID is carried successfully.

session.save_path is set to /tmp. When I start a session in Communicator
4.7, the session file is created in /tmp but it contains no data. When
using IE 5.5 or NN 6, the session file does contain the serialized data for
the registered variables, and everything works as it should.

So, it looks like the problem is that in Communicator 4.7, the serialized
data is not being successfully written to the session file in /tmp. Has
anyone dealt with this problem?

If you're still with me, THANK YOU! I created a simplified test app at the
following URL:

http://puredev.com/session/test1.php

If you would be so kind, open this URL and click on the test2.php link and
you should see the following if the data was retrieved:

Test Results: The session data was transferred.

The code for these two test pages is as follows:

TEST1.PHP

<?php

session_start();
session_register("test");
$test = "The session data was transferred.";
echo "Click this link: <a href=\"test2.php?".SID."\">test2.php</a>";

?>

TEST2.PHP

<?php

session_start();
echo "Test Results: ".$test;

?>

You can also view the results of phpinfo() for me server at
http://puredev.com/session/phpinfo.php.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone could direct me in the direction of creating a search 
function like the one on php.net?

I have tried looking rather fruitlessly to implement a system, would one possible 
implementation be to use reference files for the information and then use string 
matching to analyse the information, or search the source .php files (although 
security issues of revealing scripts).

Thanks in advance





You may not like this answer, but before anyone gets too far along with any
site search engine method using PHP, I would suggest a review of something
like http://www.htdig.org/.  It is free, it works fast and searches your
site just like a web browser so what it indexes is what your viewers see.

Here are some other references:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/archives/1/2000/10/1/104324

http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/archives/1/2000/9/1/103222


I use htdig with great success and index my site each morning so all new
forum posts are captured for use during the day.

there is a good starting point for walking a directory tree and printing
out the names of the files at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.readdir.php

it should be no mean feat to add a search file function and voila....

Which is better?

function blah() {
  switch( $bob ) {
    case 1:
       return "this";

    case 2:
      return "that";

    default:
      return "other";

  }
}

function blah() {
  $retval = "";

  switch( $bob ) {
    case 1:
       $retval = "this";
       break;

    case 2:
      $retval = "that";
       break;

    default:
      $retval = "other";
       break;

  }
  
  return $retval;

}


In other words, is it good practice to exit out of a block (any
block... not just switch; if, for, while) prematurely as demon-
strated in the first example?  Or should you do it as demon-
strated in the second example?

Well, what is more readable, understandable, clearer?

i say the first style.

unneeded variables and other thingies just
obscure things and make it harder to maintain.

How can I do a advanced "string" search in my MySQL tables?

Something like: I have a form with name, phone, age, e-mail... and I want
to fill some of those and search in the database where name has "name
typed in the form" and phone has "number typed in the form"....

How Can I do that by a MySQL command?

I don't know if it's somethin like: select * from users where name like
"%$name%"

regards,

Augusto Cesar Castoldi

SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE name='$name' AND phone='$phone'

Only use the wildcard character '%' if you want to match records with *part*
of the form text contained in the field.  If some of the form fields may be
left blank, you'll have to build the SQL statement programatically so the
WHERE clause only contains the fields that are pertinent to the search.
Trying to work around that by using the '%' wildcard and including all
possible fields in the WHERE clause could greatly increase the time
necessary to run the query *and* it's not helping you learn how to program
efficiently in PHP.

Please can you guide me, I want to use php to update
the following xml with the values the user fills in.
for example add value="" in the "input type text" line
and add checked to the Radio button line. Is there any
functions in php that can be used to step through a
xml and just update the form object lines(e.g. Text,
Radio, Check...) 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="app.xsl"?>
<?cocoon-process type="xslt"?>
<Form>
 <Text  LABEL="NAME" SIZE="24" NAME="Name"/>
 <Radio LABEL="10" NAME="AGE" VALUE="10"/>
 <Radio LABEL="20" NAME="AGE" VALUE="20"/>
 <Check LABEL="stamps" NAME="hobby" VALUE="stamps"/>
</Form>

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,

Thank,
Steve

Please dont cross post like this these questions should be sent to

necessary now is it?

Whenever I try to mail a form I receive this message:

Warning: <?php_track_vars?> is no longer supported - please use the
track_vars INI directive instead in
/mnt/web/guide/corvettebuyers/www/do_sendfeedback.php on line 1

The form is on a UNIX server with PHP installed. The INI directive has me
confused? Thank you.






  I have a text area which the client types information into, but is it
possible to format the text for example if the user hits enter ,then it will
place a line break  there,


TIA
