Well, of course PHP isn't going to change your strings. That would be
a bit intrusive and make some things real hard to do. C won't even do
this. Here's what you want:
$mysql_query('INSERT INTO `'.TABLE.'` (`id`,`name`) VALUES (,'.$name.')');
or
$mysql_query(INSERT INTO 'TABLE' (`id`,`name`) VALUES ('','$name'));
has no effect.
I also tried to
define(TABLE, `mytable`);
which, too, didn't work.
Would appreciate any advice,

You don't need the colon as well as the curly brace on your if. Again:
if (isset($submit))
{
//do stuff
}
Your update query doesn't say anything about the description, I don't
see how it could eb affected.
Also, looks like you're using register_globals. Check out this page

Thanks, I'm making headway. This time when I entered a value and

instead the description field was cleared. The database table has

Countryname is where the actual Country name is stored and id is the country code
Similarly Table 3 - region3
id - region3 where region3 is the state name and id is the region code.
I perform the following query to search the names in the database but the result
only gives me the integer values for Country and Region3. That's because, the code

extract names of country or region3 rather than integer values.
How would I modify the query below?
$keywords are the search words.
You want a JOIN, obviously. I'm assuming you're using Mysql. If you
aren't, you may need a different syntax.
$query =
SELECT id, firstname, familyname, middlename, fathername, region3, region4,
country,
country.countryname
MATCH(firstname, middlename, familyname, fathername) AGAINST ('$keywords'
IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS score
FROM members
LEFT JOIN country ON members.country = country.id
WHERE MATCH(firstname, middlename, familyname, fathername) AGAINST

And do the same kind of thing for region3.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: REG_BADRPT error
In this case, it seems like you're looking for a lot of different and
exclusive things at once. I would suggest not using a huge regex as
they can be hard to create, harder to read, and impossible to
maintain. That said, I do use regexes in some of my code, just not for
something this simple. ;-) I generally use Perl Compatible Regexes as
I understand them better. Try:
if(strlen($pass) 6 || !preg_match('/[a-z]/i', $pass) ||
!preg_match('/[0-9]/', $pass)) {
//bad password
}

That line should validate the variable $pass, which should be greater than 6

I got this regex from regexlib.com and tried to impliment it, but no

what I do it always returns the error. I did a google search and the only

echoed the variable and it did have data in it. Does anyone know why I

Re: [PHP-DB] Begining PHP...Have Questions
You should generally $_POST for all posted variables, $_GET for all
get variables (in the query string / url), and the other
superglobals for other such things. If you don't care if it's POST,
GET, or a cookie, you can use $_REQUEST.
register_globals is a setting in your php.ini. It's best practice to
set this to off. What this means for you is that variables sent by
the user are not registered as global variables. i.e. $username will
no longer work, you have to use $_POST['username']. Search the php
lists for lots more discussion on this matter.
For more on superglobals:

Subject: [PHP-DB] php, javascript and db - your help is needed
Hello,
I have a HTML form with 2 select boxes, lets say students and courses.
When
the from loads for the first time, I fill the students select box with
data
from database. The courses selectbox remains empty.
When the user selects a value from the students selectbox (onchange
event),
I should go to the db to reterive the courses for the selected student
and
fill the courses selectbaox. I found it very complicated to do the
interaction between javascript and php: apparently, I have to submit the
from for the selected student id to be passed as a parameter to php (so
that
php can access the db with the student id and retrieve his courses), and
at
the same time I want the form to stay with the list of students, and the
selected student. This should not be that hard, should it?! this is
something trivial, I hope?
I also tried using cookies, with no success.
If someone knows how to do that, please let me know.
Best Regards,
G. Cohen
PHP is a server-side language, so any further processing can only be
done when the browser sends a new request. You have to refresh *some*
page to get new data.
It is possible to use a hidden iframe to send a request, then parse it
with JS and display it in the main page, but this isn't trivial.

header('Content-Type: application/octetstream; name=' . $output_file .

header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=' . $output_file . '');

[PHP-DB] Re: Am I missing something? Why doesn't php have a 'date' variable
Ross Honniball wrote:
Hello.
I've been using php for about 5 months now. One of the first things I
noticed it was missing was a standard in-built manner of handling dates.
I assumed that, being inexperienced, I was probably missing something
and in time all would become clear.
It's a while later now and I still think it sucks that it doesn't have a
standard date variable type.
Why doesn't it have a standard class or variable type to help process
dates in a standard manner?
Php should offer a DATE variable type (in addition to string, int,
array, object etc.).
Dates could be stored by utilising standard date functions. eg.
$birthday = SetDate('23-07-1985', 'dmy');
Use of this function would effectively declare $birthday as a field of
type date. (note that I wish this was my birthday).
Standard maths could be performed on date fields for comparison. eg.
$newdate = $start_date + $birthdate - 5; // as in days
if ($date1 $date2) ..whatever..;
And of course standard routines for formating dates, standard routines
for showing time between dates / times etc.
This frustrated me so much that I recently wrote a class to emulate, as
best as possible, this level of functionality, which would actually be
quite adequate if Windows didn't suck. But due to some lunatic Windows
limitation, it will only work on dates between 1970 and 2038. Hmmm. Nice
one, Bill (are we in for another 'new millenium' problem on windows
machines in 2038?).
Anyway, am I missing something, or do other people find this a glaring
omission in an otherwise spiffing product?
Ross
PS note that in refering to dates above, I really mean date + time.
PSS Technical note:
As you all know, internally the only rational way to store dates is as a
sequential number from an chosen starting date - eg. 1-1-1960, 1-1-1970,
whatever. Prior dates are simply stored as negative numbers.

You are missing a bit. Integers are generally used for Dates in PHP,
using the UNIX Timestamp format. You can use strtotime() and date() to
convert between timestamp and string formats. Of course, this only works
for dates back to 1970.
You should have come to the list before now. ;-) There's a class in PEAR
that deals with pretty much any date you'll need and has lots of
funcitons for adding, subtracting, formatting, etc.

Would there be a noticeable performance impact when opening the database files remotely? Thanks in advance for any responses, Andy Short answer: if you have more than a simple project and / or one webserver, you don't want to use SQLite. If you're worried baout load balancing I doubt you really want to be using SQLite. It's meant as a simple system. If you're making a large project, you probably want to go with a better system, at least mysql. That way, you can run the DB server on one machine and have both access it. You could even run the DB on one of the webservers and have both webservers use it. As for NFS, I haven't had major problems with it myself, but it's always called the Network Failure System by many people I trust. It can (will) also cause quite a bit of extra network traffic, especially since your database engine will reside on a different machine than the database file, likely causing reading of large quantities of data over the network that just get thrown out by sqlite engine. -- paperCrane Justin Patrin -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You could use PEAR's HTTP_Request and just grab the resulting URL from it.
require_once('HTTP/Request.php');
$req = new HTTP_Request('http://example.com/somescript.asp?pid=1',
array('allowRedirects' = true));
$req-sendRequest();
$url = $req-_url;
That *should* do it.

First off, I need to know how to fetch variables out of the URL. I know this is /supposed/ to be easy...but dammit I just can't get it to work. The other part that's pissing me off is trying to stuff a variable inside my query variable...no matter what I try I get a syntax error..
Yeah, I'm that noob. So were we all.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
The query vars are in the $_GET, $_POST, and $_REQUEST superglobals.
Look up superglobals on php.net to see what they are. Here's a modified
DB query string for you:
$query = 'SELECT page_val FROM boardlady_site WHERE id ='.$_REQUEST['id'];
You will probably also want to change your $page_req vars up above.
This is all likely happening to you because register_globals is turned
off for you in your php.ini. Believe me, this is a good thing. Use the
superglobal arrays instead.

I'm working with PHP 4.3.0 w. MySQL 4.0.14b on Windows XP
I've written my own (pretty advanced actually - or it will be once I get
the code completed) forum system (why? because I wanted to learn how to
handle relational databases with PHP/MySQL, and then I just decided to
complete the thing) ... it uses a multitude of 1-to-many relations
across several tables, to keep track of categories, forums, threads,
posts, perms, users and so on ...
This particular chunk of code is part of the show forum code. What the
first query does is pull out all the threads in the current forum
($forumID ... this valuable is set further up the code), and all the
posts in each thread to find the last post in that thread.
The second query is simply to figure out how many posts are in each
thread. If at all possible, I'd like to combine these two query pulls
(to keep the number of DB pulls per page down - there's currently 1
more, but going to be 2-3 more queries on this page than just this), but
since I'm still rather n00bish at the SQL statements, I can't figure out
how...
Code in question:
// get all the threads in current forum, and for each thread find the
last post
$threadquery = SELECT * FROM hf_threads,hf_posts WHERE
hf_threads.forumID='$forumID' AND hf_posts.threadID=hf_threads.threadID
GROUP BY hf_threads.threadID ORDER BY hf_posts.time DESC;

$threadtitle = $thread['threadtitle'];
$threadmaker = $thread['createnick'];
$threadstart = $thread['createtime'];
// info from hf_posts
$lasttime = $thread['time'];
$lastposter = $thread['name'];
// number of posts in thread
$threadposts = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(SELECT COUNT(`postID`)
AS numposts FROM hf_posts WHERE `threadID`='$threadID')) or
die('Threadposts');
$numposts = $threadposts['numposts'];
// output thread data
echo(tda
href=\showthread.php?forumID=$forumIDthreadID=$threadID\$threadtitle/a/td);
echo(tdbBy:/b $threadmakerbrbAt:/b $threadstart/td);
echo(td align=\center\a

echo(tdbAt:/b $lasttimebrbBy:/b $lastposter/td\n);
echo(td align=\center\input type=\Checkbox\
name=\del$threadID\/td);
echo(/trtr\n);
}
Structure of tables in question:
#TABLE hf_threads:
threadID // ID of current thread
forumID // ID of forum where the thread belongs
userID // ID of thread creator (for perms reasons)
createtime // time of thread creation
createnick // name of thread creator
threadtitle // title of thread
sticky // not implemented yet
closed // not implemented yet
#TABLE hf_posts:
postID // ID of post
threadID // ID of thread where the post belongs
userID // ID of poster (for perms reasons)
name // name of poster
time // time of post
post // actual post content
edit // tracking data of editings
not that it's really relevant in this case, but these 2 tables are
through the relations tied together with 8 other tables handling the
forums and perms and users and statistics and such ... that's the reason
why I want to keep the number of queries down, as it has to do join
searches on a couple of these to handle the perms and other things on
each page...

blog. i also have a column called comNum. each row in the table is an
entry in the blog, and has comments (comNum) i have a variable called
$comNum that is used to count how many comments are per entry in the
blog. example, entry number 1 has 3 comments, and entry number 5 has 0
comments. if there are no comments on the entry, and the user wants to
make one, and if statement decides whether to display or input into the
db. that works fine. now, when i input lies the problem. i want to
input data in a newly created table called $entryNum_comms (xx_comms)
AND add to the number in the comNum column for THAT entry in dm_blog.
example:
i am making the first comment on entry number 74 in db_blog.
comNum in dm_blog should change form 0 to 1 and the data fromt he form
should be inserted into 74_comms, a newly created table for that entry.
example 2:
i am making the 3rd comment on entyr number 94 in db_blog.
comNum in db_blog should change form 3 to 4 and the data from the form
should be entered into the already created table 94_comms.
the only thing i am stuck on is entering the data into the two different
tables.
here is the code im using:
if ($comms==true) {
//define a table name based on main Post number
$theTable = $entryNum . '_comms';
if ($newTab==true) {
//create a table
$sql = 'CREATE TABLE ' . $theTable . ' ( `daUser` VARCHAR(
255 ) NOT NULL ,'
. ' `entryNumb` INT NOT NULL ,'

. ' PRIMARY KEY ( `entryNumb` ) )';
$resulter = mysql_query($sql) or die(There has been an error
creating table: $theTable br / newTab = $newTab);
//insert the values into the table for the comment
$commPost = INSERT INTO $theTable VALUES ('$daUser',

You say you want to make a new table and then put a record in it? I
don't see how that has anything to do with your subject.
You just need to run a create table query first, then insert a record,
then update the comNum in the other table. Three seperate queries.

[PHP-DB] Re: Creating query with multi-dimensional array
Lisi wrote:
I have a form that allows users to edit an entry in a database. It
displays the current values in a textbox/select box/textarea depending
on the type of data (text, enum, etc). The same form is used for
different tables, so no values are hard coded. Field names are retrieved
with a show columns query and then content is retrieved with a select
query.
This works fine for almost all fields, I am having trouble with the
field that is of type set.
I build the REPLACE query by listing the values entered into the form.
The first thing I do is loop through the $_POST variable and create two
arrays - one with the keys, and one with the values. So the variable
$vals is an array that holds the data the user has entered, and in
theory the REPLACE statement could be REPLACE INTO table ($key) VALUES
($vals), if I could list the values of $keys and $vals as follows:
(field1, field2, field3) VALUES ('data1', 'data2', 'data3').
I wrote the following function to loop through the array values and list
them as needed for the query (separated by a comma, surrounded by single
quotes - yes, I know the quotes haven't been added yet):
function print_array($arr) {
//This function takes an array and lists all values in a
comma-separated list
//for easy printing in a query or web page
$count = count($arr);
$last = $count - 1 ;
for ($i = 0; $i $count; $i++) {
if (is_array($arr[$i])) {
/PROBLEM***/
$count2 = count($arr[$i]);
$last2 = $count2 - 1 ;
for ($j = 0; $j $count2; $j++) {
$list .= $arr[$i][$j];
}
/PROBLEM***/
} else {
$list .= $arr[$i];
}
if ($i != $last) {
$list .= , ;
}
}
return $list;
}
The problem is that if a value in the array is itself an array, for
instance a field of type set that has more than one value chosen, it's
not listing the values of that array, just the word array. I tried
making it a recursive function
if (is_array($arr[$i])) {
print_array($arr[$i]);
}
but that also just gave me Array, so I tried duplicating the code, as
you can see in the function above, but this didn't work either. I feel
like there must be something obvious I'm missing, but I just can't see it.
The code for the form itself is
select name=Category[] SIZE=5 MULTIPLE
so it is being passed as an array, and I can do print_r of the specific
variable and see the array values. I just can't get them to print
properly in my query.
The other odd thing is that when I do print_r($vals) it also shows me
Array for the field that is an array, instead of showing me the
values. But when I do print_r($Category) it does show me that it is an
array.
Can anyone help?
TIA,
-Lisi
What code are you using to set $vals. In other words, I'd like to see
what you're doing with the $_POST data before you send it to print_array().

Scott Phelps wrote:
Thanks in advance for reading this:
I am trying to take a query based on user input and selectively output
fields to a table.
Heres the query code:

{
$returned_rows =
array(
array(
id=$field['id'],
lastname=$field['lastname'],

);
}
snip - snip
Now what I want to do is put only the lastname and firstname in a
small table with alternating colors:
Like this:
-
| $lastname, $firstname | --- color=blue
-
| $lastname, $firstname | --- color=white
-
| $lastname, $firstname | --- color=blue
-
Heres the code:
snip - snip
table class=results_inner
?php
foreach ($returned_rows as $value)
{
printf (trtd class='results_blue'%s, %s/td/trbr, $value['lastname'], $value['firstname']);
next($returned_rows);
printf (trtd class='results_white'%s, %s/td/trbr, $value['lastname'], $value['firstname']); }
}
?
/table
snip - snip
The problem is that it only prints one name. Also next() doesn't seem to be advancing
the table so
I am getting duplicates of the one name it does print to the table
Thanks.
First of all,
$returned_rows = array(array(...));
Will just give you an array with one thing in it, however may rows are
returned.
Second, you don't have to recreate the returned row. This should work
much better:
$query_result = mysql_query($query);
$returned_rows = array();
while ($field = mysql_fetch_array($query_result)) {
$returned_rows[] = $field;
}
Third, foreach() is already looping through your array, so you don't
have to use next(). In addition, foreach() loops through a *copy* of the
array, so using next() doesn't actually do anything to the values you're
using. Basically what you're doing in that loop is looping through the
original array *and* a copy of it. You need to just loop once and output
one record in the loop.
Fourth, printf() is pretty slow compared ot print and echo. It is really
only useful if you need extended formatting. If all you're doing is
putting strings in another string, it's much cleaner and easier to read
using print or echo.
table class=results_inner
?php
foreach ($returned_rows as $value) {
echo 'trtd class=results_blue'.$value['lastname'].
', '.$value['firstname'].'/td/trbr';
}
?
/table

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Good Morning,
This post is somewhat OT -- please forgive me. I've spent over 3 days
trying to get sendmail configured and I've lost some patience and
reasoning ability in the process.
I have a Linux (RH9), Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL GUI that creates a
PDF document on the server for web access. We would also like to have the
document emailed to several folks within the company. So I essentially
have to get the PDF attached to an email and routed to our SMTP server. I
have webmin installed and have tried to use it to configure sendmail. When
I execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail status --- Linux says that sendmail
is running.
I'm using this method for creating emails with attachments (which was
posted on the PHP-WIN list several months ago ), but it is failing:
?php
$fileatt = ; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = application/octet-stream; // File Type
$fileatt_name = ; // Filename that will be used for the file as the
attachment
$email_from = ; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = ; // The Subject of the email
$email_txt = ; // Message that the email has in it
$email_to = ; // Who the email is too
$headers = From: .$email_from;
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = ==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x;
$headers .= \nMIME-Version: 1.0\n .
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n .
boundary=\{$mime_boundary}\;
$email_message .= This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n .
--{$mime_boundary}\n .
Content-Type:text/html; charset=\iso-8859-1\\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n .
$email_txt . \n\n;
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= --{$mime_boundary}\n .
Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n .
name=\{$fileatt_name}\\n .
//Content-Disposition: attachment;\n .
// filename=\{$fileatt_name}\\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n .
$data . \n\n .
--{$mime_boundary}--\n;
$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
if($ok) {
echo font face=verdana size=2The file was successfully sent!/font;
} else {
die(Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try
again!);
}
?
I've examined the content of the variables in this expression (from above)
[[$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers) ]] and
it looks ok, though I'm no expert, so I'm guessing that the problem lies
within the sendmail configuration. Webmin has loads of config pages for
sendmail, and I admit that they're overwhelming right now. It seemed to me
at first a relatively simple task to have an email created on the server,
and forwarded to our SMTP server for delivery, but I was obviously naiive
in this assumption. If anyone has suggestions or knows of helpful links or
tutorials, I'd be deeply obliged.
Thanks for reading this long post.

Sounds like a doozy of a problem. Fixing the local machine is a good
thing, but to get around it you could use PEAR::Mail's smtp backend.
require_once('Mail.php');
$mail = Mail::factory('smtp',
array('host' = 'your.relay.com',
'port' = 25,
'auth' = true,
'username' = 'user',
'password' = 'pass'));
$mail-send('[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
array('From' = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'Subject' = 'Test e-mail'),
'This is a test e-mail.');
Note that you can remove the port, auth, username, and password entries
if you don't need them.
You can also use this with PEAR's Mail_Mime package to easily create and
send multipart messages.

You don't have to remember different functions for use with different databases. 4) You never know when you might want to switch to another DB. 5) You never know someone else using your code might want to switch to another DB.

Oracle/SQL Server/MySQL all use slightly different SQL syntax - so if the query you pass in has to be unique depending on the database in hand - you're already having to remember a stack of system specific SQL and will have to code your application to take into consideration all of those different syntax. What I'm trying to say is that abstracting the connection to the database is the easy part, writing an application that will support them all is another matter. Very true. In that case, you can use a package such as DB_DataObject or DB_QueryTool to abstract the SQL as well. Or you can use fairly simple SQL with just a few rules and you should be fine. For instance, always select columns as upper case (for Oracle compatibility) or always convert them to lower case (DB_PORTABILITY_LOWERCASE), always use DB::quoteSmart() for values and DB::quoteIdentifier() for table / column names, etc. The real hairy part is dealing with joins as the syntax is very different across the DBs.

When they win they get a popup, page does not refresh,
to play again it restarts. Is there a way to credit

To handle bounced emails, again it's only a bit of snipped code, the rest is fine. 4) What is this code supposed to accomplish? Bounced emails, if an email is bounced it will do a search and do something if and flag account if it's bad. If it finds an email that is not in the DB it also does nothing. (spam emails mainly go into that account) As for the query. I want to change a value of a field when it reaches a certian value. So was wondering if it was safe to change a value in one field once it reaches a set value. Okay with my program site emails that have a email_setting of: 0 - All emails go to external inboxes and internal inboxes 1 - All emails go to external inboxes and not internal 2 - All emails go to internal inboxes and not external Each user can toggle what they want, ext. is real email addresses... int. is the internal one with the account which is not an email just an inbox. So when it reaches a value of -5 means it's bounced 5 times therefore needs to be set to a lower value so emails are not sent. So I have: field1 field2 field1 - is used for 0 , 1 , 2 value to send emails to inboxes internal and external. Anything set in negative figures no internal or external email will be sent to that user. field2 - is used to track the number of times the email has bounced. So when it reaches 5 I need to handle it and reset filed1 to a negative value. So regarding my first example, it's no longer used by me and won't go back to it. But is example 2 going to work? ... UPDATE users SET email_setting='-1' WHERE emailerror 5 ... will that set email_setting to -1 if emailerror has a value of 5 or more? Yes, it will. -- paperCrane Justin Patrin -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Re: Interbase: How to get table structure via SQL ?
Dizem Pgc wrote: Hi, ...table structure without PEAR ? Is it possible to accomplish this by a sql-statement or do I really HAVE TO install this xtension (PEAR) ? Cuz I've already written a few scripts containing many function calls (self written classes, too). I read the PEAR extension organizes everything with packages. So, if I install PEAR, do I have to change all my function calls? I'd like to find a more 'simple' solution for my problem. (P.S.: Thx to R.Hutchins 4 answering quickly!) Bye, DiZEM No you don't have to install PEAR. It just uses SQL to do it all anyway. This SQL works in other DBs (not sure about Interbase): DESCRIBE table And no, you don't have to convert all of your old code if you do install PEAR packagesthat is, as long as your names don't clash. I highly recommend at least looking at PEAR's DB. Or even DB_DataObject. It gives a lot of (highly tested) high level abstraction and easy to use functions. It's quick to use and shouldn't slow down your scripts any (especially if you did convert everything to use PEAR). Plus you get free updates without having to do all of the debugging and such on your own. Add to that standardization and all of the other packages you can use. :-) -- paperCrane Justin Patrin -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP-DB] Re: oracle: fetch a query result into an array
To make your life much easier, I recommend using PEAR DB. The function
calls are very easy and work for any DBMS (no remembering DB specific
calls :-)). It also gives you lots of added functionality, such as
fetching of an entire result set at once, fetching only one row, or even
fetching one column quickly and without the need to worry about freeing
your resources. Used right, you don't have to worry about memory leaks
or even the DB backend you're using.

That depends on what you're doing. Here's why I can't provide feedback:
1) Your code isn't at all complete, the foreach isn't even finished.
2) Where does the $addresses variable come from and what are you
trying todo with it?
3) What is the mysql table and its columns supposed to represent?
4) What is this code supposed to accomplish?

Re: [PHP-DB] Database Abstraction Layer?
I like PEAR::DB myself, especially since so many other PEAR packages build upon it. To make your code even more DB independant, you can use a package which builds the SQL for you, such as DB_DataObject. It can also quote table / column names and values correctly per DB.

My second suggestion is to use DB_DataObject and DB_DataObject_FormBuilder to create the forms for a table and handle editing the data. It really simplifies things.

Wow, that's lots of code. I'd recommend something simpler. Like:
$mysqlDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($myDate));
$myDate = date('m/d/Y', strtotime($mysqlDate));
No checking involved, just one line of code.

Please do not write a new post by replying to an old post and changing

It looks like your client doesn't have . in their include_path in the
php.ini. They could change their php.ino to have . in it and fix
things quick and simple.
Or, you can use ini_set() to set the value yourself. You'd probably want
