If he kept the old wife, he needs to talk to both wives. If not,

No this is not true, since types conversions can be different between a
and b, a and c or between b and c. If you want the above logic to be
true then you must use === for equality based on type also.

PHPis following the rules of type conversion which are not necessarily
commutative (hope that's the right term).

A non-numeric string equals 0 by the rules of string to integer type
conversion (that's not entirely true since I think the first numerical
portion is the part converted as per atoi()).

> and a string equals true, but the reason

A non empty string equals true according to the rules of string to
boolean type conversion, unless (I think) the string is '0'.

> the bool doesnt equal the int is because when the string and int are

You are talking about bool, string and int with respect to a bool-int
equality check. This is confusing, only two values can be compared. From
what hat did you pull the string?

> did that make sense? am i right?

You didn't make sense :)

Re: [PHP] Odd Code Error.

ok, i read the section, but even so

if $a == $b
and $a == $c
then $b should be equal to $c

but php is saying otherwise?

this sounds confusing i want to try n get my head round it

a string equals a integer of zero, and a string equals true, but the reason
the bool doesnt equal the int is because when the string and int are
compared, the string is zero (because it has no numerical value)?

did that make sense? am i right?

Looks fine to me...

$test == $test2: $test is not an empty string and thus evaluates to
 true.

$test == $test3: $test is converted to an integer to compare against
 $test3. Conversion of $test to integer results in 0,
 which happens to be equal to $test3

You should read the section on type juggling.

you should be able to use the local filesystem, and reffer to it relatively!

[PHP] IRCG - php windows extension HELP!

[Marc Greenstock]

I'm trying to install IRCG as an extension to my Apache 2 PHP server running
on Windows XP. Trouble is IRCG for windows comes as a standalone package,
that doesn't seem to load in as an extension to php declaired in php.ini.

I've typed in all the extensions but i continue to get an error for each dll
that the module can not be found.

Has anyone installed IRCG as an extension for windows?

Re: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

[Miles Thompson]

Use xmlReceiver to trigger the back end PHP script. Have that script 
generate XML which you parse in Flash. Plain text will work, but a single 
quotation mark in the text sends you off to never never land. Here's an 
example:

xmlReceiver.load( "http://"; + host + "feed_xml_article.php");

I know it's not a socket, but it's plenty fast.

Regards - Miles Thompson

PS What good would a socket to PHP do, anyway? (I probably just revealed my 
ignorance!) /mt

try removing the dot and /

so

that should work on windows and unix platforms, i dont think windows likes

on different clicks around the website. A piece at a time, however MOZ
and Opera are fine.

[PHP] PHPSESSIONID altering each time the page is loaded in IE

[Tarrant Costelloe]

As the subject says, I posted this bug report on the official php bugs
page http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26950 and have now changed my
storing of user information to use cookies as such:

setcookie("cookie_auth_memberID", $row['id'], time()+604800,'/');
setcookie("cookie_auth_Username", $frmUsername, time()+604800,'/');
setcookie("cookie_auth_Password", $frmPassword, time()+604800,'/');
setcookie("cookie_auth_Group", $row['membergroup'], time()+604800,'/');

However anyway, on displaying my PHPSESSIONID in Internet Explorer 6, I
am now noticing that on the refresh of any page (by clicking on any
internal site link) the PHPSESSIONID is changing! This doesn't
happen in Mozilla or Opera, any ideas folks?

Top of each page looks like such:

session_save_path("/home/tazonlin/webs/www.planet-tolkien.com/sessions")
; 
session_start();

[PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

[Marc Greenstock]

I am doing the same thing at the moment,

I'm building a Flash/PHP/MySQL chat system capable of handling over 1000
users online at one time.

GET and POST just doesn't cut it, so I began to explore other avenues, and
XML Socket's seem like the best and only option. But I expect to burn the
midnight oil on this one.

Just an FYI that doesn't appear to be covered in the docs, but for which
I received confirmation on the internals list a couple of months ago,
you don't need to have the closing tag ?> if your included file doesn't
need to exit PHP mode. This is an undocumented (I think it's still
undocumented) feature and can prevent the accidental inclusion of
whitespace that can bugger headers :)

Cheers,
Rob.

I would recommend using it whenever you can. It may require a few extra
lines of code here and there, but you know for sure what 'type' you are
dealing with. This is especially good when dealing with user input.

Of course u answered your own question,

Make sure you have GD2 though you dont want crappy pixelated images.

If you want a class already made up check out
 http://pear.php.net/package/Image_Transform

i have done a custom class, which had to include a nconvert driver as there
is no farhn gd on a php3 server at work.

Stop and read the for loop.  You're saying "starting with the current

Unless you have a time machine, the year will always be greater than

Interesting. I wouldn't have expected that. However, that is how it

Extremely odd what's happening here :s

I just doesn't make sense why the if condition should do this...

Maybe you could search in the PHP Manual for more info on this.

However, i did one thing that made that not work.

EA is Equal To NFH see $EA";
}else{
echo "EA is NOT EQUAL to NFH see $EA";
}
?>

Here I use the strict comparison operator, and it writes out the last
sentence.

Very odd this code

[PHP] Specifying file paths in Windows

[Todd Cary]

I moved an application from Linux to my Client's NT system and is_file 
cannot file the file on the NT system.  My directory structure is as 
follows:

c:\webroot
  \application
\php_code
  \filedir
The code is

if (is_file("./filedir/test.txt")) echo "Found it!";
else echo "Not found";
This is working with Linux, but it does not work with NT.  Can someone 
tell me why it does not work?

RE: [PHP] Odd Code Error.

[Martin Towell]

I've come across this recently too. I think what's happening is that PHP is
converting "NFH" to an integer, which would be zero in this case. Thus zero
== zero is true...

Try doing type checking too:
if ($EA === "NFH")

When comparing strings either use '===' or one of the string comparison 
functions.

[PHP] drop down list of years puzzles me

[Bill Green]

This works to create a drop down select box of numbers 1-12:

for($i=1; $i < 13; $i++) {
echo "".$i."\n";
}

This doesn't to create a drop down box of years:

$curr_year = intval(date('Y'));
$range = 10;
for ($y=$curr_year; $y < $range; $y++) {
 echo "".$y."\n";
}

When I check for errors:
$curr_year = 2004
$curr_year is an integer
$range = 10
$curr_year + $range = 2014
$y = 2004

But my select box is empty... as in:



What is it that I don't understand?

What you need is legal advice, not PHP advise.  As such, this is really 
off topic, and frankly, if you're willing to trust the legal advice you

I will offer this piece of advice -- which is reasonably on-topic to 
application developers:  Use common sense and common courtesy when it 
comes to this sort of stuff.  Don't make it hard to unsubscribe, 
provide clear, simple instructions on how to unsubscribe on every 
email, remind them they signed up, remind them they can leave any time, 
and don't waste their time with worthless emails.  If you do all that, 
you're going to be in good shape for most incoming laws, as long as the

Re: [PHP] php running as user apache

[Nirnimesh]

Yeah, I tried turning safe mode on, but I'm not able to accomplish
what I set forth to.
Suppose I want to upload files to a directory called "repository".
Now what should be the ownership and access permission of this directory
be such that:
1. php (running as user apache) is able to upload files, and store in
"repository"
2. no one, but this uploading script ( with uid == myuid ), is able to
write to this directory.

I'm able to get the php script to write to this directory only if
"repository" is world writable and it has ownership myuid:myuid.
But what good does this make anyway, for the directory is still
world-writable.

By the way, if this thing is really possible by turning safe-mode on,
why on earth is it turned off by default?

Nirnimesh.

[PHP] Odd Code Error.

[Jonathan Pitcher]

I am so frustrated at the moment with coding.  I had an odd error with 
some PHP coding.  And in the process I came across this error.

Please try this out!! Because for me on my machine it does the first 
part of the if statement.  I can make a work around in my code to fix 
the error.  BUT I would rather know why this is evaluating incorrectly.



	$EA = 0;

if ($EA == "NFH")
{
echo "EA is Equal To NFH see $EA";
}
else
{
echo "EA is NOT EQUAL to NFH see $EA";
}
?>
Thanks in advance.

1) Assign your query to a string (eg $query), and echo() it so you know what 
your query is.

2) Make good use of mysql_error().

Bonus tip: look up "variable scope" in the manual.

[PHP] Downloading Question

[Rogelio J. Samour]

OK, I'm at my wits' ends with this problem. I have a download page that 
sends the correct
headers to the browser and downloads a blob file from a MySQL table. 
Everything works
great on Mozilla, Netscape, and IE until I try to download a Zip file. 
What's puzzling is that
the SAME EXACT file works in Mozilla/Netscape but DOES NOT work on IE. 
Tha is, IE
somehow manages to corrupt the file when it moves it from the temp 
directory,
rendering the downloaded file obsolete and useless. Here is the code for 
the headers
I send:

[php]
 Header ("Pragma: public");
 Header ('Expires: '.gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T", time() + 3600));
 Header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
 Header ("Cache-Control: no-store, max-age=0, no-cache, 
must-revalidate"); # HTTP/1.1
 Header ("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);
 Header ("Cache-control: private");
 Header ("Content-Type: $datatype" );
 Header ("Content-Length: " . $FileObj->size );
 Header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
?>[/php]

So any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

[PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

[Ben Ramsey]

I guess that's good enough reason for me.  As far as connecting with 
sockets, though: you should connect from Flash to the PHP file, not from 
PHP to the Flash file, I think.  And, in order to do that, you would 
need to ask some people who specialize in Flash and ActionScript, so the 
boards at Macromedia.com may be the best place to ask.

Then again, I could be absolutely wrong. ;-)

[PHP] info.php something missing (REMOTE_USER)

[Ian C roberts]

I have a problem with login fields.  Whenever I get to my horde/imp 
login screen php dumps into the username field,

	

I cannot seem to find an answer as how to prevent this.
I am using,
OS X 10.3
Apache 1.3.28
Horde 2.2.4
IMP 3.2.2
PHP 4.3.3 (with imap2002e)
Here is the config line I have to configure php,
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-zlib=/usr 
--enable-ftp --with-mcrypt=/sw --with-xml --with-gettext=/sw 
--with-imap=/usr/lib --with-imap-ssl=/sw/lib --with-mysql 
--with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock

I have to adjust the dns.c file for bind 8 compat.

It compiled ok, everything works except for this problem that Im having.

I noticed that the REMOTE_USER is set to this value .  
This is located in my Environment bit of the info.php.  But on my home 
machine which is set up the same, I don't have a large Environment 
part.

I still have no idea how to solve this.  It has made it's mind up that 
I am called  ''.  I have tried to recompile php but to 
no avail.  is there a configuration in php.ini that I can set?

Thanks again for listening.

Re: [PHP] authentication problems!

[Scott Taylor]

by "using HTML" I meant, typing the address in to the broswer as 
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/protected/file.pdf or as using the 
HTML: http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/protected/file.pdf">Link... 
or using the header:  header("Location: 
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/protected/file.pdf");

>also, there is no problem retrieving a pdf after passing http basic 
authentication (I just double checked this on a client's site and was 
appropriately prompted with a pdf handling dialog box after I 
authenticated).

Of course there is not problem if the user is entering the information 
him or her self.  But just using this code:

   $file = 'http://miningstocks.com/protected/Dec03PostPress.pdf';
  
   //now view the PDF file
   header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
   header("Accept-Ranges: bytes");
   header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
   readfile($file);   

from a PHP page where no authentication has occured does not work at all.

Let me say, if this is not clear, that I do not want unique usernames 
and passwords for users.  I want one username and password that WILL 
NEVER BE SEEN by the user. 

The way that I had planned was to keep ONE username and password which 
would allow access to all the files in a MySql database.  After the user 
entered his name and email address, the username and password would be 
fetched off the database, and then authentication would occur with this 
username and password and the user would be served the file.  The 
authentication would be completely transparent to the user.  But the 
different ways to authenticate transparent to the user either do not 
work or reveal the username and password (making it pointless to even 
protect the files in the first place).

Best Regards,

Scott Taylor

also, there is no problem retrieving a pdf after passing http basic

now, http basic assumes that the id/pw are in a file/database/etc. the

so, for this to work, you'd probably need some type of registration 
page that will store the id/pw info that the apache server will query 
against. [i strongly recommend using a database, not a file, due to 
file locking issues.]

other approaches to this general issue include a URL mapping scheme. 
e.g., the public URL would drive the user through a one-time 
email/name collection process. when the user passes that they are 
served the document from the actual storage location. they can be done 
in a way that the true document URL is never shown.  obviously you'd 
have to do this in a way that would give the fake URL as a .pdf so 
that the client will handle things correctly.

Subject: [PHP] authentication problems!
I am about at my wits end trying to find a good solution to this
problem.  I've asked various portions of this question to this mail list
and still have not found exactly what it is I am looking for, but here
it goes.
I'm looking for a way to protect my files (this would be pdf files,
image files, etc...other things then text/php files) so that for someone
to see a current file they will have to enter in their email address and
name.  Seems fairly simple, and yet I can not figure out how to do it.
I've been told of the following alternatives:
Protect the files with HTTP auth (basic, or use SSL if very paranoid),
then, after entering the info into a database:
1. just link to http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/protect/file.pdf
(either directly using html, or use headers).  The problem:  if using
HTML, the username & password is easily seen.  If using headers, this
does not work (it is not seen as a PDF file) - my best guess is that the
auth headers get passed along and so it does not work.  Of course, I can
load a PDF using headers if the file is not in a protected directory
without any problems at all.  But then again it wouldn't be protected to
begin with.
1.b. It was later suggested that I could link to
http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/protect/file.pdf and use an apache
rewrite statement to change every protected file to exclude the username
& password. But I've posted to an apache group and they have said that
this CAN NOT be done.
2.  link to something outside of my httpdocs directory.  Unfortunately,
I am on a shared server and do not have a private folder (or at least my

[PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection

[Ben Ramsey]

Flash has the ability to read in text files, so you could use PHP to 
output data in the correct format and use Flash to read the PHP script 
like it reads a text file.  We did this in ASP once upon a time.

Here's a tutorial about reading text files into Flash:
http://www.virtual-fx.net/tutorials/html/loadtextfile.htm
Also, from what I understand, Flash now has a great XML parser, so you 
could use PHP to generate XML and Flash could read in the XML as 
variables.  You might want to look into that, but I think it's only 
available in the newest version.

Thanks for the tip. (My errands were cancelled, so I'm still here!)

Isn't "print" a function used to make printable web pages? I'm not sure 
how to plug it in. Below is a snippet from my head section include:

if($includea1 == TRUE){
echo '';

echo '';

Would I change it to something like this?:

Someone else suggested that MySQL would be a big help with a project 
like this. I haven't touched that yet, but I'll have to get it connected

[PHP] generate drop down list from DB and display info on new page base d on selection

[Montagna, Dan]

Hello,
 
I'm new to php/mysql and have been looking for help on this for a little
while.  I've searched around a bit but can't find anything close enough to
what I'm talking about here.  I want to create a drop down list from a mysql
db table (I know how to create and populate the table) that displays one
field [community] .  Then I'd like to select the community, submit my
selection and bring up a listing of projects for that community on a new
page.  The concept to me doesn't seem that difficult and something like this
must be posted somewhere...If anyone can either get me started or point me
at an example it would be really helpful.  Thanks

We use XMLRPC to communicate between flash & PHP. I presume it can be
coupled with sockets if you should need a permanent connection as well.

It has worked perfectly for pretty much anything we throw at it (It allows
you to send any PHP or Action script native data type, e.g. arrays,

Re: [PHP] What a difference a / makes!

[robert]

Look at the one for yt and one for Alaska.  If there is a difference in 
the code in 1 place that is probably why it IS working on the yt page.  
That's where I would start.  Then I would put in an alias in my web 
configuration to point css /home/web/css or whatever so that you can go :

echo '';

The thing you do need to check is your $continentcode especially, as 
that is the one that links between pages and the style sheet (unless I 
missed where it was assigned based on something else).  Also check to 
make sure you have ' appropriately.  I find an odd number of ' in your 
example and if you are not careful then you have cut off a piece of the 
echoed code.

That will cut down some on code as well as help with the figuring out of 
where the issue is.  I personally use print  " " for things like that, no having to join the 
information together, the server does the work for me.

[PHP] Online Testing package using PHP and MySQL

[Pushpinder Singh]

hello all,

   I am trying to develop an online testing module using PHp and MySQl 
on a Mac Platform. The module will need to have users authenticated 
before they can take the test. After that the system should take care 
of storing the scores of the users intp MySQL..Since I currently use 
Dreamweaver MX as the IDE, I decided to try out CourseBuilder, which is 
a built-in extension to Dreamweaver, Has anyone out there used other 
packages. I have used CourseBuilder, but it seems to me that 
CourseBuilder is linked to Pathware, which is a DB module (now owned by 
LOTUS i.e. IBM)

Thanks for your comments.

[PHP] authentication problems!

[Scott Taylor]

I am about at my wits end trying to find a good solution to this 
problem.  I've asked various portions of this question to this mail list 
and still have not found exactly what it is I am looking for, but here 
it goes.

I'm looking for a way to protect my files (this would be pdf files, 
image files, etc...other things then text/php files) so that for someone 
to see a current file they will have to enter in their email address and

this CAN NOT be done.

2.  link to something outside of my httpdocs directory.  Unfortunately, 
I am on a shared server and do not have a private folder (or at least my 
_private directory which is contained with httpdocs will not work - I 
get the same problem that I do with authentication - it does not 
recognize the file as a PDF at all).

3.  use a prebuilt class (such as snoopy or Emanuel Lemos).  This looks 
as though it is the only option available to me at this time, but It 
doesn't look as though it as a good one as it will add a lot of code to 
something that seems as though it should be VERY simple, and it means 
that I will have to go through the documentation to use this.

If anyone has any ideas it will be much appreciated.

[PHP] What a difference a / makes!

[Freedomware]

I have a relatively trivial problem that's driving me up a wall. I've 
tracked it down to a specific character - / - , and I still can't solve 
it! I think it's a relatively simple problem, though my explanation is a 
bit lengthy.

I'm working on a site with pages for each of the 50 states that uses PHP 
includes and echo statements. The problem seems to derive from one of 
four types off pages:

1. The head section on each main page
2. A single included page that's inserted in each head section
3. another included page (state/top) inserted in each page
4. A series of style sheets specific to state regions (north, south, etc.).
Below is a snippet of code from the page that's included in the head:

echo '';

In the main page, three echo values are used to form links to style sheets:

' . $periods . ' is replaced with ../../../../,
' . $continentcode . ' is replaced by na (for North America)
' . $mycode . ' is replaced by each state's postal code (ak, wa, etc.)
This is an example of a style sheet URL they form:



Below is a copy of a main page's head section, which ends with the include:




Below are the URLs of the head include, the top include I'll mention 
next, an example of a state page (Alaska) and an example of a regional 
style sheet (the North):

http://www.freedomware.us/includes/state/head.php
http://www.freedomware.us/includes/state/top.php
http://www.freedomware.us/world/na/us/ak/
http://www.freedomware.us/css/na/north.css
This is all the code from a top include. Just skim to the the lat few 
lines, where it says "banner":


$todayDate = date("m-d-Y");
echo 'Freedomware > World > ' . 
$mycontinent . '
   > ' . $mycountry . ' > 
' . $myname . '';
echo '
' . $myname . '

  ' . $mynickname . 
'
  
“There are two 
lasting bequests we can give our
  children: One is roots. The other is wings.”
Hodding Carter, 
Jr.
  
  ';
echo '';
echo ''
?>

"banner" is a layer (div) with an invisible spacer image. It is replaced 
by various background images defined by the regional style sheets.

Below is all the text from one regional style sheet, North:

/* CSS: Freedomware > CSS > NA > NORTH (The Far North) */

div#title { color: #009; }
#subak { background: #009; color: #ff0; }
td#tdcenter { background: #fff; }
h1 { background: #009; color: #fff; }
div#banak { background: url(../../../images/banners/na/ak.gif) no-repeat 
50% 0; }
div#bannt { background: url(../../../images/banners/na/nt.gif) no-repeat 
50% 0; }
div#bannu { background: url(../../../images/banners/na/nu.gif) no-repeat 
50% 0; }
div#banyt { background: url(../../images/banners/na/yt.gif) no-repeat 
50% 0; }
.subtitle { color: #009; border-top: 1px solid #009; border-bottom: 1px 
solid #009; }

Notice that this code from the top include:

echo '

id converted from id="ban" + $mycode to id="banak" (Alaska), id="banyt" 
(Yukon Territory), etc.

So here's the problem. The top banners don't show up on some pages 
unless I add the character / to the head section. An example is Alaska, 
which requires a / before "north":

$mycode = 'ak';
$mywebring = '/world/na/us/ak/';
$myregion = '/north';
But the head section for Yukon Territory works the way it's supposed to, 
with no / before north:

$mycode = 'yt';
$mywebring = '/world/na/us/ak/';
$myregion = 'north';
All three states linked to the Pacific Northwest top include won't work 
without the extra / - Washington, Oregon and the province of British 
Columbia, illustrated below:

$mycode = 'bc';
$mywebring = '/world/na/can/bc/';
$myregion = '/pnw';
Another weird example is Idaho, which appears to work as it should 
online, but I can't see the top banner on my local site unless I add the /.

Also, I don't necessarily have to add a / before the continent code; 
I've also fixed it by adding a / to the state postal code ("mycode").

I thought the problem could be traced to this snippet from my head 
include, specifically to the code between continent code and my region - 
'/'.

echo '';

That particular / should be included in every style sheet URL. By adding 
an extra url before "north" in Alaska's head section, my URL should wind 
up with two forward slashes - css/na//ak.css Yet I only see one when I 
view the source code.

Thanks in advance to any tips, as I may be gone for most of the day.

I don't think you can do this without mod_rewrite, but you can do this:

http://example.org/name/denny =>
http://example.org/cgi-bin/script.cgi?userid=denny

Just make name a PHP script, and use the ForceType directive in your
.htaccess file:


 ForceType application/x-httpd-php


In this script (name), you can reference $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] to get the
rest of the URL. Parse it, redirect the user, or do whatever you want from
there, although it's probably better to just serve the user's request
instead of forwarding to another URL.

Hope that helps.

[PHP] URL translation like mod_rewrite

[Denzil Kruse]

Hi all,
 
My hosting company won't let me use rewrite rules in my Apache configuration files, 
and told me to use "the php header() functions and a .htaccess file" instead of the 
rewrite rules.  I don't know php and I'm looking over some php help files right now, 
but I found this list and was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  Or 
tell me that this won't work.
 
What I want to do is have a visitor to my web site enter a userid after the domain 
name, and have apache or php grab the userid and send it to a script.  Something like 
this:
 
http://domain.name/denny  =>  http://domain.name/cgi-bin/script.cgi?userid=denny

Can this be done with php?  I already have another page with a login form that will 
send someone to the script.  For marketing reasons, I don't want login forms or other 
ways of getting them there.  I'm assuming the use of the .htaccess will involve the 
normal popup box asking for a userid/password.  Can that be avoided?

Thanks

Denzil

You need to use session_start() before any headers are written.

You have to put it at the top of the page prior to anything else.

Okay... I guess I could see that. The include is going to start in HTML
mode. That's why the above works because you're starting with HTML. If the
include file is all PHP code, then the file is still going to start in HTML
mode, though. So you have to open PHP mode with http://www.php.net/)

I have a couple of pages that are sprinkled with flash, this is how I
got it to
work (from the macromedia site)
-sorry for the bad word wrapping
