Hi there
I've used a tool called asp2php to convert all my asp files to php
files, but now in ASP you have the global.asa file. I've converted this
to global.php. So now part of it looks as follows:
function Application_OnStart()
{
extract($GLOBALS);
$Application["ConnectionString"]="PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA
SOURCE=MYDB;UID=myuser;PWD=mypwd;DATABASE=mydb";
return $function_ret;
}
Now from one of the other pages:
<?
include "global.php";
session_start();
session_register("Login_session");
session_register("Outlet_session");
echo $Application["ConnectionString"];
?>
But I get the following warning:
*Warning*: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers
already sent (output started at C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\spar\admin\global.php:52) in *C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\spar\admin\login.php* on line *3
On line 52 in global.php there is nothing. This is the end of the file.
Line 3 in login.php is:
session_start();
*echo $Application["ConnectionString"];
also doesn't print out anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
Louis

Unless you are specifically doing a header() call this is caused by
sending output to stdout.
On line 52 in global.php there is nothing. This is the end of the file.
Is there a line of blank text at the end of the code? This has been
known to cause this problem and while it isn't obvious from viewing your
code... it's being sent as content. Or at least this is oftentimes what
causes this error.

I am not sure what you problem is here. I think that you are trying to put
a page break into HTML. If so them have a look at
http://slackerhtml.tripod.com/stylesheets/pagebreaks.html
However this is for CSS2 comparable browsers IE4 and above, I have not
tested it with other browsers.

How can what be done? My best guess is you want to echo the variable as
part of the HTML page:
echo $echowrite;

You need to be more specific about what does happen, and what you want

You appear to be just starting out in both HTML and PHP. I suggest
following a few online tutorials at W3C schools.

Hello Ron,

if (preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/"),$str) {
echo $str;
}
There may be a more efficient means, but this will work.
Basically if there are any lowercase, and/or uppercase, and/or
numbers, it'll echo $str.
The '+' means one or more times.
You could write it like this too:
if (preg_match("/[a-z0-9]+/i"),$str)
Which is a bit shorter. The 'i' means case insensitive so you can get
rid of the A-Z part (or vice-versa a-z).
Another possibility is:
if (preg_match("/[\w]+/"),$str)
which is shorter still.
'\w' means letters and numbers, but also the underscore character, so
it may not be what you want.
Hope it helps.

No, you aren't na idiot. You just don't how to do it, nobody knows
everything.
I think you can use strlen(); it returns an integer with the lenght of the
variable (0 if it's blank).
Don't worry, I learned this function some weeks ago...
Happy new year, bye bye.

Surely there is a manual page somewhere for "Perl Compatible Regular

Hint: actually, never mind, it's worth making you go read that page.

Aaron,
is_string() will return true even if there are no alphanumeric characters in
the variable, even if the variable is empty. My best guess is that is_string()
will not work in this case.

Hi
I have a header which I just include every time from all my pages, but
the headers caption needs to change according to the page which has been
loaded. I've tried global variables, but as soon as I jump into a
different session they seem to lose their values. So, what I did was
created a table in the database with two fields pagename and header.
Pagename is the name of the page and header is the header which I want
to display, then I can send the page name as a parameter to a query to
get the header.
The only problem now is the header doesn't know what the name of the
page is that is loading underneath it. At first I thought I could use
HTTP_REFERER, but this would only be true if the page is the loader of
the header, which is not always the case.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers
Louis

Uhmmm.. Lesse. I did something similar to this when I wrote some code
to give me the headers from webservers. I had to use regexps to do
it.
Basically you could do something like this:
<?php
//Creating the filehandle for our input file
$fh=fopen("myIncludeFile.html", "r");
//Seeding the while loop below with the first line of the input file
$line=fgets($fh);
while (!feof($fh))
{
$line = fgets($fh);
//Once we hit the <BODY> tag, start echoing out lines until we hit
</BODY> if (preg_match("/<BODY/i", $line))
{
while (!preg_match("/<\/BODY/i", $line))
{
echo $line;
$line = fgets($fh);
}
}
else
{
$line = fgets($fh);
}
}
fclose ($fh);
I didn't actually test this, but it should work. I just took some
odds and ends pieces from something else I wrote that was similar.
There's room for improvement. Like right now it'll continue
processing the outer while loop after the </BODY> but since </HTML>
usually follows on the next line I didn't think it too inefficient.
You could make the outer while stop by ANDing with the condition of
the inner while loop.
As always... There's going to be other ways to do this. Some of them
are probably a heck of a lot better than mine.

Are you using the same SAPI and context on both maschines?
The mssql extension can give different results depending on the context
the driver is used in (OEM to ansi convertion). If your data is stored in
a binary column (not a text column) it should not matter though.

It's true that googling would produce a list of PHP-happy editors, but the
intended question seems to be more along the lines of "What does everyone like?
Use? Prefer?" That's not something that's always found on lists you'd get
off of google.
Helpful responses aren't always ones that are technically correct.
