Hi,
I previously asked a question about getting undefined function errors in my
script and someone mentioned that it may be that I am calling it from within
an if or else statement. This turned out to be the case. Now the question -
is there a way around this? What I need to do resolves around many different
conditions, and depending on the what's what I call the necessary function.
I have looked my script over and over and can not see any other way of doing
this. I am fairly new to PHP and maybe there is a better way, and I'm open
to suggestions.
TIA
Example:
if ($a == $b) call function one;
elseif ($a > $b) call function two;
elseif ($a == $c) call function two;
elseif ($a < $b) call function two;
elseif ($c > $b) call function two;
elseif ($d == $e) call function two;

An undefined function error has nothing to do with where you are calling
the function from. It has to do with whether or not you have defined the
function you are calling.

Hi all ,
i want to generate the thumbnail of an image but I want my php to be

You are going to have to depend on something. If you don't want to use
GD, you are going to need some external mechanism which will have to be
available.

Along with the othe suggestions, Netpbm is something that you can package up
with your application so that you are always sure it's available to it.
http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/
Better yet, take the time to write an Image Abstraction Layer that'll
function just like a Database Abstraction Layer. You use the same functions
no matter what and depending on the config, either GD, Imagemagik, Netpbm,
or whatever is used to do the dirty work.
Does anyone know of such a project or want to write one?

Use "convert" (a part of ImageMagic), it's almost a standard on any unix
machine and if not you can always compile it even as a user on a shared server.

I have a question regarding the use of the $_COOKIE autoglobal and
include() or require() tags.
I have a script (index.php) which gets cookie variables. This works
fine, and the cookies are accessable through both $_COOKIE["cookiename"]
and $cookiename.
However, then in the script I have a require tag (essentially like
require('http://www.mydomain.com/common.php')) line. I call this line,
and within that file (same domain) the $_COOKIE[] array as well as
variables such as $cookiename are all blank. I cannot figure out for the
life of me why this is occuring.
The cookies are set with a path of "/", and if I access common.php
directly, the variables are there and accessable. They just don't go
through an include() or require(). I don't understand why this is, since
the PHP documentation says that all variables available to the parent
file at the time of an include() or require() tag are available to the
included file also.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Any help would be
appreciated.

The most likely scenario is that common.php is being processed by the web
server & PHP before being included into your code. This would be causing
a second HTTP request from your web server to your web server for the
included code ... there are no cookies on the HTTP request for the
included code, /and/ the variables available to the parent are not
available to the included code. You effectivly get the output of
common.php, not included code.
Try this:
- copy common.php to common.inc (or some other extension that your web
server is not configured to hand off to be parsed by PHP).
- in the parent code, include() the common.inc URL instead of the
common.php URL.
Let us know if that helps or not.

That doesn't seem to work. This might be because my require tags also
send variables (e.g. common.php?variable=1)--would this make a call to
a non-PHP extention file fail?
What happens is that the calls seem to produce no output (but they don't
fail). In other words, require() returns true, but the data that I
wanted common.php to display doesn't end up being displayed.
As to whether common.inc was able to actually receive the cookies, I
haven't the foggiest idea, and there's no way to tell if I can't get it
to output anything.
Thanks,
Luke

You've already demonstrated that you know included code inherits the
parent's variables at the scope where require() is called ... so I'll
leave it up to you to determine whether or not the "?variable=1" is
necessary. I dont' know if it breaks require(), but I doubt it.
Here's the trick: visit the URL of the require()'d code with a web
browser. If you don't see /code/, then your require() won't work. If you
do see the php code ... all of it, including the start & end tags ... in
plain text, then you're on the right track; your code should be able to be
included into the parent.
You're trying to include /code/ into some parent code, so you don't want
the processed result of the PHP script (unless it's more PHP code).
If this doesn't get you closer, post a simple example of what you're
trying to do. I routinely include PHP across domains for various reasons
... I know it works, and works well ... it will for you too, I hope!

Is common.php on the same server as index.php? If so, then (unless you have
special reasons otherwise), you should NOT be including via URL but via the
local filesystem:
include('local/filesystem/path/to/common.php');
What does common.php do anyway? There is a whole world of difference between
including a file via URL and via filesystem.

Hi all,
I'm storing a bunch of images in a MySQL database. I use a small PHP script
to load the appropriate image from database and flush it to the browser.
Because this script flushes in content-type image/jpeg (or similar) it can
be used as IMG SRC. So images can be shown on a webpage using the following
HTML: <IMG SRC="image.php?id=2">
This works perfectly fine but the browser (IE) does not cache these images.
On one hand I do understand why -- the image source is a script, not a
static image file, so the browser qualifies the resulting content as
dynamic. On the other hand though: in my setup image.php?id=1 is (as good
as) eternally the same image and for image.php?id=2, image.php?id=3, etc.
the same thing. So it would be no problem if the browser would cache f.e.
image.php?id=1 as if it is a static image. It would even be desirable
because it saves bandwidth.
So actually the issue is: how can I get browser to cache image.php?id=1 (...
etc.) just as it caches image1.jpg (... etc.)?? The only thing I've thought
of is using mod_rewrite to rewrite URI's like image1.jpg into image.php?id=1
but I haven't tried it yet -- don't know if it's a logical idea.
Thanks in advance,
Tim Molendijk

Hello,
I think you have two possibilities:
* use session_cache_limiter() : you can find the explanation at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php
I guess you need the 'public' setting.
* Add the headers yourself: for example at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php you can find the
headers which are sent to not cache the page. You can add the headers
which tell the browser to cache the page.
To be honest: it doesn't always work here.. for some reason, IE
sometimes still refuses to cache certain pages.
Kind regards,
Dries Verachtert

image.php needs to send appropriate headers for caching... of course, i have
no idea what they are, because i've never done dynamic images :) don't
*think* mod rewrite will affect/help anything here.

Check out phpclasses.org. A quick search for "graph" returned 10 classes.
Another 3 for "plot". One may work out for you, or lead to something else
more helpful.

HTML questions. You'll be interested in the HTML spec, specifically:
Frames: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#adef-target
Links: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html
In both of your examples, you need to put a target on your anchors as
specified by the HTML spec in the section about frames.

I have compiled and installed both the newest versions of Apache and PHP
with support for modules so I can use PHP with Apache. When I try to start
the Apache server I get an error which reads.
Syntax error on line 230 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server:
/usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: __dn_expand
I have no idea why it is doing this. Please, any help would be much

Put the files in a directory named in the include_path such that you don't
have to mess with any kind of path information within the programs. That's
what it is there for.
If you have to move the include files which would you rather do:
a) change the include_path in php.ini, httpd.conf, or .htaccess.
b) edit every file in the project to change the path.
I have a group of common include files most of my sites use, and another
group of files for each domain. The include path for each web sites is set
in the webserver configuration, and looks like this:
<VirtualHost www.somedomain.com>
...
php_value include_path /web/lib:/web/hosts/www.somedomain.com/lib:.
</VirtualHost>
You can group files into directories under the include_path to keep related
include files together.
include( 'category/program.inc' );
will search every directory in the include path for a subdirectory named
'category' containing a file 'program.inc' to include. Very handy!

If "php_value upload_max_filesize " is fixed then there is no need to use
preg_replace. Just use a simple substr_replace() or similar.

Hi all,
I am about to write a CMS for a news section which I'll also adjust so
that I can use for pages across the entire site. People should be
allowed to edit/add/delete/archive/preview and upload pictures to a
maximum of say five. My 1st question is does anyone know of some Open
Source software which might save me some time?
Also what would you suggest the best way is to add pictures to an
article? I can upload 1 picture giving it the same ID as the news
article but what if there are 2/3/4 etc? how would you go about this?
Then there is the problem of where to put it in the article, I was
thinking about uploading the picture and then putting the html in the
form text box with the rest of the article for the user to move around
as needed but does anyone have any better ideas? (it might scare some
users so does anyone have something simpler?) Also what's the best way
to set-up a preview function? I was thinking that I should add checkbox
which makes the article live so that the user could preview the page
first from a link but is there any better way to do it?
Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone
Quick question:
I'm running debian and have apt-get php and openldap. openldap works,
as does php. I'm now working with the ldap functions and here is where
I'm stuck.
I can see from phpinfo() that ldap has been compiled in:
'--with-ldap=shared,/usr'
My problem is the following error on ldap_connect();
undefined function: ldap_connect()
So where do I look now?
Will I need to get the source and compile it?
Thanks,
Pete

I'd suggest posting this to a debian group as well - perhaps first

PHP 4.2.3 on Apache 1.3.27 on FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE;
Apache runs with uid/gid 80/80 and php is loaded as module.
For some reason all PHP scripts on my box run in root's environment
instead of one created by apache.
This is the environment section from phpinfo:
http://ra.phid.ae/phpinfo.html
And I guess it should look like this: http://ra.phid.ae/phpinfo2.html
The issue remains if I rename the php.ini to something else to get the
default values and restart apache.
CGI scripts (perl) have the right environment, so i'm pretty sure it's
a PHP thing.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Well, it shouldn't, so I'm beginning to suspect that your $foo doesn't contain what
you think it does. According to the PHP manual, 'the following values are considered
FALSE: the boolean FALSE itself; the integer 0 (zero); the float 0.0 (zero); the empty
string, and the string "0"; an array with zero elements; an object with zero member
variables; the special type NULL (including unset variables)'.
As "\n" is none of those, it should be ==TRUE (but, of course, !==TRUE).
Cheers!

Well, I was just quoting from the manual, so that sounds worthy of a bug

No, there mustn't -- this I am sure about. As I said before:

If you are looking for a complete solution (calendar, contact, to do,

I downloaded it and started playing with it about 2 weeks and like what
I see. Totally overkill if you just want a Calendar.

Hello all,
I am using a javascript alert box in one of my php pages to tell the user
they didn't fill out all the required fields. As I check each field, if it
is blank I am adding to the alert string:
$alertstring="Missing Mandatory Fields";
if ($fname==''){
$alertstring=$alertstring."First Name";
}
............etc
I am then out putting the code with prints.
<? Print "<script> alert('$alertstring') </script>";
This all works fine except I want each empty field of the alert box to be on
it's own line. I try adding \n to the lines of the alert string but it
prints out the \n. How can I format this string so that it shows correctly
in the alert box?
Thanks,
Eddie

Just you use '\n' but you have to do something wrong. Look this:
$x = 'Fill fields:\nfirstname\nsurname\nfirm';
echo "<script> alert('$x'); </script>";
On the screen you get:
Fill fields:
firstname
surname

It works in Netscape and Internet Explorer.

You reset the password to something new... either manually (a person) or

md5 is one way encryption.

No. You send them a new password. Ideally, the only person who should
know the unencrypted user's password is the user themselves.

Can't do this with PHP, which is server-side. You can, however, use PHP to generate

Use PHP print/echo statements to create the JavaScript code, just as you would HTML
