zencart php question
Hi all, I am trying to set up a shopping cart site for my son using zen cart. When I try running the install program I get the following: Warning: main(version.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/aamehl/aamehl.net/yehci.com/zen-cart/zc_install/includes/application_top.php on line 25 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/aamehl/aamehl.net/yehci.com/zen-cart/zc_install/includes/application_top.php on line 25 I gather I need to set some parameter in the configure.php file? What I did was create a zencart subfolder on the remote server to test things out until he gets a site name etc. could this be a problem?

Re: php question
Quoting Andre E. Bar'yudin [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I assume that the problem is related to how PHP handles the response from your browser. Mozilla probably doesn't provide the response character set, during form submission and Konqueror does, hence the difference between them. Now, when PHP doesn't have a response content type it probably assumes some default (say, iso-8859-1) and escapes every out-of-the-range character by HTML entities. OK, a little test - which I told Arye to do, but decided to do myself: I wrote a small CGI: #!/bin/bash echo Content-type: text/plain echo cat - And I created a small form: HTML HEAD TITLETest/TITLE META HTTP-EQUIV=Content-type VALUE=text/html; Charset=utf8 /HEAD BODY FORM ACTION=cgi-bin/foo.cgi METHOD=POST INPUT TYPE=text NAME=foobar SIZE=50BR INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=send /FORM /BODY /HTML And then I used the form, and submitted the Hebrew name Avraham in Mozilla and Konqueror. Result in Mozilla: foobar=%26%231488%3B%26%231489%3B%26%231512%3B%26%231492%3B%26%231501%3B Result in Konqueror: foobar=%D7%90%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%94%D7%9D So it is definitely *not* PHP which sends out the HTML entities, but Mozilla itself - as you can see, the cgi itself is pure bash.

Re: php question - SOLUTION
Going a bit further on my research, I found how to make Mozilla behave like Konqueror, and do it in a standard way. In the FORM tag, you have to add an ACCEPT-CHARSET=UTF-8 attribute, like this: FORM ACTION=cgi-bin/foo.cgi METHOD=POST ACCEPT-CHARSET=UTF-8 Now go and convince everybody who has a web site to add that thingy to their site... (Thanks to Andre for pointing out that it maybe a charset issue in the client).

Now, when PHP doesn't have a response content type it probably assumes some default (say, iso-8859-1) and escapes every out-of-the-range character by HTML entities. I've repeated your test, with a little correction to the meta tag. My HTML reads: HTML HEAD TITLETest/TITLE meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8 /HEAD BODY FORM ACTION=cgi-bin/test.sh METHOD=POST INPUT TYPE=text NAME=foobar SIZE=50BR INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=send /FORM /BODY /HTML The test.sh script is the exact copy of yours. The output for the Hebrew word ivrit reads: foobar=%D7%A2%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%AA Browser version: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru-RU; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021017 Now, when I put YOUR meta-tag, the result for the same input is: foobar=%26%231506%3B%26%231489%3B%26%231512%3B%26%231497%3B%26%231514%3B which corresponds to your results. The reason is, that in my opinion utf8 is not a legal codepage name (at least for Mozilla, although Java eats it as an alias to UTF-8, as far as I remember). Probably Konqueror does support this name too. So, maybe the original poster just made the same mistake - used something else instead of UTF-8 as his charset option. Regards, Andre.

No, the original poster did not do such a mistake (if it ain't clear enough, I am the original poster). However, Herouth's suggestion to add accept-charset=utf-8 seems promising.

Re: php question
AF which turns ampersands, quotes and angle brackets into entities, AF as well as htmlentities(), which turns every non latin1 AF character into a numbered entity. You'd think I found my AF function, but the problem is that the latter function does not AF show up in any of the php files, so I am at loss as to what AF function does the translation. Would http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php help you?

I know now that not even that funtion (which, BTW, was not juxtaposed with htmlspecialchar() in the php book that comes with quanta 3.0) features in phpnuke, so Herouth must be right (but I'll check it today). Anyway, as far as the main problem: Problem is that paragraphs in numbered entities are not entirely displayed as rtl, in that the paragraphs are left justified and the bulleted lists are backwards, even though the entire section is between span dir=rtl.../span tags. Spans are not the answer, because bulleted lists are considered blocked entities. Each of them should have a DIR=RTL or an appropriate CSS entry. To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference between numbered entities and proper characters, because at least theoretically, all numbered entities are converted to the proper characters before the rendering is done. I tried that, and it is a solution. Note that adding a dir=rtl attribute in the body tag will help, too, but will mess up all those left to right blocks. Is there something other than span that will have the same effect, including on li and p elements?

php question
Hi, I modified phpnuke to allo utf8, and started filling the site with content (although for now the search function has been disabled because I expect it not to do Hebrew yet). Then, after viewing a Hebrew article as html source, I noticed that instead of unicode chararacters I got numbered entities. A quick look at teh MySql table revealed that everything was stored in numbered entities (what a waste of space). Problem is that paragraphs in numbered entities are not entirely displayed as rtl, in that the paragraphs are left justified and the bulleted lists are backwards, even though the entire section is between span dir=rtl.../span tags. So I figured somewhere in that software must be a function to turn everything that is not latin1 into entities. I couldn't find such a user defined function (yet) but did find one standard function called htmlspecialchar(), which turns ampersands, quotes and angle brackets into entities, as well as htmlentities(), which turns every non latin1 character into a numbered entity. You'd think I found my function, but the problem is that the latter function does not show up in any of the php files, so I am at loss as to what function does the translation. My question: what other php function may be doing translation of unicode to numbered entities? What should I look for? Anybody familiar with phpnuke out here?
