Hello,
It doesn't look like it - a note in the constants manual entry reads:
"PHP has no way of recognizing the constant from any other string of
characters within the heredoc block"

Can anyone tell me if it is possible (and how) to use defined constants
within "here document" content? I've not been successful finding anything
on this in the online docs.
Thanks!

You simply could have tried it - it's trivial.
The answer: no, you cannot have a constant within a string, be it heredoc
or quoted. A constant must always reside on "native code level".
However you can easily concatenate strings and heredocs - both of the
examples below work correctly:
define('A_CONSTANT', 1);
$text1 = <<<EOT
This heredoc text contains the constant A_CONSTANT (
EOT
. A_CONSTANT . <<< EOT
) outside the heredoc construct...
EOT;
$text2 = "This quoted text contains the constant A_CONSTANT (" .
A_CONSTANT .
") outside the string quotes...";
echo "$text1<br />$text2";
Output:
This heredoc text contains the constant A_CONSTANT (1) outside the heredoc
construct...
This quoted text contains the constant A_CONSTANT (1) outside the string
quotes...

My apologies - by rereading my message it sounds straightforward arrogant
which it wasn't meant to be. I was referring to your statement "didn't find
anything in the online docs" that led me to the perception you didn't even
try it - sorry for that (but there are so many posters asking questions
that wouldn't even arise if they only had _tried_ it).
Hope my suggestion helps though :-)

What I would recommend is PHPmyAdmin. I believe it's open source and written
in PHP specifically as a utility for mySQL.
I'm sure you can find it at sourceforge.net (or a similar site) .

I need to create some simple web forms for entering, changing, deleteing
information from a fairly simple MySQL database. This is to be for internal
use, so doesn't have to be really fancy or have alot of error checking.
I could make a form for each table myself, but I would think their is an
easier way...

Hi Tony
Still battling GD I see :)
Are there any errors in the Apache error.log?
What happens if you change your php.ini directive to ...
extension_dir = C:/php/extensions

Rich,
I've checked my php.ini files on my drive and all I've got is one.
The php_gd2.dll file is in:
C:/PHP/extensions
There was no default folder called extensions when I installed PHP so I made
a directory called extensions under PHP.
Everytime I take out the semicolon in the .ini file, the page won't load and
I've got to shut down Apache server manually.
If I put the semicolon back in, the page loads fine.
I don't have a clue. Somewhere between the .ini file and Apache something
is very screwed up.

P.S.
If you get a moment, maybe you could send me a .txt file of your php.ini
file along with you php_gd2.dll setup.
That way I could check line for line.
Many thanks,

You said in your earlier post that in your php.ini your extension_dir is set
to "C:\PHP\" - this is wrong it should be c:/php/extensions
If the extensions directory was not there and you had to create it manually
then where did you get the php_gd2.dll from?
The extensions sub-directory should be there for a normal installation - did
you install from zip?

Not sure I understand ... are you saying that
mysql_connect('localhost:3307','user','password') connects to the master
server? Can you describe the problem in more detail?

This really belongs on the MySQL list but there was a known issue with
RAND() on 3.23.54 - can you upgrade? If your table has an auto_increment ID
column then a workaround would be to use rand() in PHP to generate a random
ID then use that with a 'where id = '.$id in your query...

You might try getting the random number before the query.

Thank You, group by users.id did the trick, but now i have another
problem, i want to select users with no photo as well, all with same
sql statment, so far i have
SELECT users.id, users.gender, users.year, users.month, users.day,
users.username, users.city, users.country, users.feet, users.inches,
users.cm, users.openingLine, profiles.bodyType, profiles.ethnic,
profiles.smoke, profiles.drink, profiles.children, profiles.religion,
profiles.moment, photos.file FROM users,profiles, photos WHERE
users.id=profiles.userid GROUP BY users.id
It works fine selecting random photo for user, but doesn't select users
with no photos.

Hi,
Thanx for yor reply. Well It worked for me with the same query when I used
"HAVING" instead of "where". This is what I got from Mysql Database. However
the solution that you have showed is reall good as well.

Hello,
As related to my earlier question
select date_format(date_add(arrivaldate1, INTERVAL nights1 DAY), '%Y-
%m-%d') as dept_date1 from mytable where ('dept_date1' BETWEEN
'2003-02-01' AND '2003-02-10')
The above query is valid but returns 0 because 'dept_date1' is treated
as a
string. I want dept_date1 to be treated as date so that it can be
compared.
I hope it is possible...
Thank you!

1) Put that folder outside the document root of your webserver so they
cannot be retrieved by accessing their URL directly
2) After authenticating, server the files using readfile() or similar.
You could even use the ErrorDocument directive in Apache to run this.
Consider this deirectory layout:
~newmanpj/
+ -- htdocs <== the web root (home of hidden_files.php)
| + -- hidden_files <== an empty directory, only .htaccess
available
|
+ -- hidden_files <== the directory holding your files
The .htaccess file within the hidden directory contains
ErrorDocument 404 /hidden_files.php
Now when a user requests
http://www.newmanpj.com/hidden_files/somestuff.html, the hidden_files.php
will be triggered by apache, having $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'] set to the
requested URL.
hidden_files.php does the following:
1) Check if the request is for a hidden file:
No => serve a general 404 Error message
Yes => continue
2) Check authentication:
Not authenticated => goto login (or return 401 Authenticate)
Yes - readfile(requested_file)
Hope this helps,

Subject: [PHP] .htpasswd and PayPal generated passwords
I use PayPal to generate a username and password and then write them
to the .htpasswd file. If I were to switch to using a database (because
.htaccess seems to always prompt twice!) how would I perform the
comparison for the passwords? It would seem that everytime you generate
an encrypted password it's different. So how would you compare them?
Also, does anyone know what the encryption method used by PayPal is?
Thanks for any help...

I'm building a site that allows ppl to upload images. PHP was compiled with
the GD lib so I'm able to verify all sorts of info about the image for
validation. However, I was wondering if there is a way to convert a
non-jpeg image to jpeg just by using the GD functions as opposed to using
unix command line utilities and system/exec functions (the hosting company
doesn't like that, and personally, i don't like the 'cross ur fingers'
aspect of php/commandline stuff).
Some browsers don't like some image types and we're trying to make jpg the
standard extension, though we allow ppl to upload BMP, TIF, GIF, PNG, and
JPG files.
I can get the image and put it where I want on the server, but is there a
way to finesse the GD lib to create a jpeg from whatever image type they
upload? If someone just has an idea that may or may not work, I'm open to
suggestions, pseudo-code is welcome. Seems that somewhere in the GD lib's
capabilities there's a way to squeeze out what i want, but I can't grasp it.
Thank you,
screamingpanda

Store it where? It depends if the place you store it in and the
comparisons there are going to be case sensitive or not. Most database
fields are going to be case sensitive while a PHP comparison will not
be.
> I have a script the checks for names and ...
>
> Mark is not the same as mark, or MaRk ...
In PHP when you test with an "equal to" (==) they are not the same. You
can use the strcasecmp() function to compare string case insensitively,
though. In a general database VARCHAR field, they would be the same.

Greetings All...
Usually I am helping others on the list but this time I am asking for
help!!
I was wondering if someone could offer some clarity for me as
my years of using Apache has never seen the following as a possibility.
Background: This server is using PHP along with Apache
If a server (entire box) was I/O bound and wasn't coping with the load
then
would Apache simple close the connection (I think this) or serve a 404
error.
The reason for asking this is not that I have gone Mad but that a
consulting firm is trying to tell us that our server is I/O bound
and serving 404 errors. I just can't see how.
Thanks to all.

If your server is IO bound and not CPU bound in most cases it will
continue to serve requests as long as the maximum number of concurrent
connections is not exceeded or they don't timeout.
In any case your server should not give a 404 error because of being I/O
bound, 404 means document not found, they may be mistaking it with a
server too busy error message.

For example, say i want to send a mass e-mail at 5:00pm every night which
contains the latest updates to the website. I know how to generate the mail
and then send it to everyone's e-mail in a MySQL table. But how do i set it
to run automaticaly?
Answers for both Linux and Windows systems would be nice...
2. How do i open a HTML file, extract all the text and then break up the
text into variables..
For example, i've got a HTML files which all have the same structure

Using the layout you are showing:
1) Read the file
2) Split headers from body (delimited by an empty line)
3) make an array from the headers, splitting each line by ': '
// Disclaimer: untested
// step 1
$hf = fopen($file, 'r') or die("Can't read $file");
$buffer=fread($hf, filesize($hf));
fclose($hf);
// step 2 - now you have the chapter ready
list($headers, $chapter) = preg_split("/(\n|\r|\r\n|\n\r){2,2}/s", $buffer);
// step 3
$headers = preg_split("/(\n|\r|\r\n|\n\r)/s", $headers);
$arkeywords = array(); // for the "array" method, see below
foreach ($headers as $line) {
list($var, $value) = preg_split('/:\s*/', $line, 2);
// you may rather use an associative array instead of variable names
// the "variable" method:
$$var = $value;
// the "array" method
$arkeywords[$var] = $value;
}
You now have the "body text" in "$chapter", and either an associative
array, or the named variables of the header lines.
>3. How do i open a Word Document and extract all the text?
You might try Word2X (see http://word2x.sourceforge.net/)
Disclaimer - never used it, just been told about it by my friend Google
(question was "Winword conversion Linux").

Untested:
if (preg_match('/^http:\/\/[^\.\s]+\.[^\s]+\/$/i', $string))
// valid string
else
// invalid string
Should match a string beginning with 'http://', followed by one or more
characters that are no dots or whitespace, followed by a dot, followed >by
one or more characters that are not whitespace, and terminated with >a
slash. The terminating 'i' makes the search case insensitive.
I've also been looking for this information. Can you please point me to a
list of those string codes? My search for them in the documentation has been
fruitless.

This can't work since there are no slashes to strip...
stripslashes() strips certain slashes from a string. Assume you have a
textarea where the user enters "Thank's", so PHP converts this to
"Thank\'s" (assuming magic_quotes is set to on). Using stripslashes() here
will get rid of these slashes.
BTW - the sample you've sent will output "Thank's" - what are you doing
what you didn't show?

Well, only diff is it's a POST from a textarea. With
magicquotes on, you're right, it makes "Thank's"

Use stripslashes().
Try this example:
<?php
$var = $_REQUEST['blah'];
echo '<xmp>$REQUEST[\'blah\']: "', $var, "\"\n";
$var = stripslashes($var);
echo 'stripslashe\'d: "', $var, '"</xmp>';
echo '<form method="post">',
'<textarea name="blah">',
$var,
'</textarea><br />',
'<input type="submit"></form>';
?>
You will notice the textarea transmits "Thank\'s" which is displayed in the
first line, and stripslashes() removes the backslash and displays "Thank's".
Note that you also must use the stripslashe'd data when constructing the
textarea.

You're doing everything right. If you have a look at the datfile you'll
notice there are NO backslashes. Right?
Ok, so the culprit must be fgets() - and indeed this can be found in the
online manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php), in the
user comments:
php at silisoftware dot com 13-Jun-2002 06:44
Beware of magic_quotes_runtime !
php.ini-recommended for PHP v4.2.1 (Windows) had magic_quotes_runtime set
ON, and that addslash'd all input read via fgets()
So the solution here is to either add stripslashes() after your datfile
read, or to use set_magic_quotes_runtime(0) (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-magic-quotes-runtime.php).

add this line vefore and after stripslashes() and see what you get:
echo '<xmp>', $poem, '</xmp>';
If I type "I've set it up" it should read
I\'ve set it up
I've set it up
or your stripslashes is not working.

Just a short followup to your note, though I hope to come back to it when
I get a breather.
Yes, anything is possible if you have the gumption :-) You sound like
you've been around the web a bit and aren't scared, so feel free to dig
in and try it. PHP is a fairly easy language to grasp, especially if you
speak any perl.
I enjoy the SAMS PHP Developer's Cookbook, though there are others out
there I'd love to have. I'm one of those coders who would love to work
up a quote for the job if you're still in the market for hiring.
I like the idea; I once put in a bid on a sailboat cabin reservation
system for a fellow who ran a cruising sailboat with about 8 berths, and
this sounds quite similar. I like little businesses like that who aren't
afraid of some technology :-)
HTH & HAND & at the very least Good Luck!
:-D

I have a form that allows someone to upload a text file, the contents of
which will be inserted into the database. When I fread() the file, there is
some garbage at the beginning and end of the text.
Here's what the text looks like:
This is the sentence of text.
Here's what it looks like after uploaded and fread():
*ch?¡®ºdä?º†Ím This is the sentence of text.SORT~€ÿÿ
The text file being uploaded is a BBedit file, which should be a plain text
file. I'm not sure where this garbage is coming, and if there's an easy way
to remove it before I put this into the Database. I searched the PHP help
files for an hour and searched here, and couldn't find anything related.
I'm using PHP 4.2.3 on a Redhat Linux server.
Thanks.

Are you using Apache2? IIRC, there was a bug where data would get added
to the POST data, or something along those lines...
What if you just look at the file with a regular text editor? Do you see
that data there after it's uploaded and written to the server, or does
it just appear into the data when it's fread()?

John, when I open the file in a text editor I don't see the garbage, just
the text. I have Apache 1.3.22 on my server. I'm not writing the contents to
a file once uploaded to the server because I want to store it in a database
field. The garbage is added to the DB just as it appears when I echo the
variable to the screen after the file has been uploaded.
Also, I'm doing the fread() on the tmp_name after the file is uploaded,
because I don't need the file once I read the contents into a variable.
I was wondering if changing the "enctype" parameter in the <form> tag would
make a difference (but I don't know what to change it to). Currently it's
set to "multipart/form-data".
Thanks!

Has anyone successfully gotten fusebox for php to work on AIX w/
4.3.1? The server I am using has globals turned off, but I have this in
the index file,
extract($_SERVER);
extract($_GET);
extract($_POST);
extract($_COOKIE);
but all I get is a blank screen. The code is fine because when it is run
on a regular linux box, it works fine.
Anyone offer any tips?

I know this is a php forum. Please don't be upset with
me, but I have a JS problem which nobody I know can
seem to figure out. Here goes:
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var w1 = "1000";
var h1 = "672";
if (w1 <= screen.width){
if (h1 <= screen.height){
document.write("<a
href="/pics.php?view=popup&image=2003-01-January/image1.jpg"
onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'popup','1000','672','no');return
false;"><img
src="/pics/2003-01-January/image1-thumb.jpg"
border="0" alt="Image 1 of 64"></a> ")}
else{
document.write("<a
href="/pics.php?view=popup&image=2003-01-January/image1.jpg"
onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'popup','1000','screen.height','yes');return
false;"><img
src="/pics/2003-01-January/image1-thumb.jpg"
border="0" alt="Image 1 of 64"></a> ")}
else{
document.write("<a
href="/pics.php?view=popup&image=2003-01-January/image1.jpg"
onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'popup','screen.width','screen.height','yes');return
false;"><img
src="/pics/2003-01-January/image1-thumb.jpg"
border="0" alt="Image 1 of 64"></a> ")}
</script>
I am trying to make a popup window for a big image to
match it's size using php's getimagesize() function,
setting that in the browser as var w1 and h1. Then
trying to get JS to popup a window with or without
scroll bars depending on your screen size... I know
this is complicated. But it's fun. if anyone knows
anyplace that I am messing up, or wants to see the php
of this w/ the JS, let me know. Thanx to all for your
great advise.
-Dade

Shouldn't you be escaping some quotes here? The "string" your sending to
document.write() is delineated by double quotes, but there are double
quotes within the string itself. I'm sure that'll cause a JavaScript
error. Escape double quotes within the string with the \ character.
document.write("<a
href=\"/pics.php?view=popup&image=2003-01-January/image1.jpg\"
onclick=\"NewWindow(this.href,'popup','1000','672','no');return
false;\"><img
src=\"/pics/2003-01-January/image1-thumb.jpg\"
border=\"0\" alt=\"Image 1 of 64\"></a> ")}

I am wondering if anyone out there has some really good references in
regards to scripts distributed as open source using the GPL. In the last
three years that I have worked on open source projects I have seen several
people "steal" a program, change the name and then try to distribute it as
something else.
So I am wondering what people here prefer to use for a license, is there
anyway to combat these kinds of people, etc.
Why do I ask now? Because it has happened again, only this time, the person
is actively marketing this "new" script.

They're doing nothing wrong as long as they distribute the source under
the GPL.
