Re: [PHP-DB] Files stored in mysql
Here is one way to do it. It happens to be the way that I use for a group of folks that have authentication levels of access to pdf. I store all of the pdf files above the www folder. This keeps them out of prying eyes. You of course could store them in a database. the security levels for the pdf are in the name of the pdf itself. Such as: thomas_korea_2_General-Travel-Info.pdf where thomas is a group of people getting access to the files. where korea is a particular region of their responsibility where 2 is the security level that the thomas group must have to see this file. where General-Travel-Info is the public or displayed name for the file. Now here is how it works, the user logs in. A session records his group and his security level which is stored in a users database. Once authentication is done, the dir of pdf files is read and exploded on the underscores. Every file that fits this user (group and security level) is displayed with the public name with the hyphens replaced with spaces -- such as General Travel Info That data is displayed as a link which when clicked reads the real file out to the browser such as header(Content-Type: application/pdf); header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$file_access_name); @readfile($file_access_name); . This is one way to do it. Of course you may want to read the files out of the database in your case.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysql check boxes
I was confused for a moment about the use of the two checkboxes in your
request -- now I understand that you actually use the word checkbox for
two different items in your post. 1) is for the field in the table where
binary data is fetched and 2) is for an actual HTML form checkbox that is to
precede each row of data.
Your script only displays #1 -- the data from the database. Here is what
you need to do to see the checkbox before the data in each row.
echo input type=\checkbox\ name=\c_box\ value=\$checkbox\ $id
$checkbox $testField br;
I am assuming a couple of things with the above code -- but this should get
you to the place where you can work it out.

Re: [PHP-DB] Still having a form problem
The array that you are using quantity[] has an automatic index populated for it: Meaning that if you have page1 that has the following code: FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=./page2.php INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT /FORM and assuming that we ordered 1 of the first item, 2 of the second item, 3 of the 3rd, etc Then the array will be passed to page2 as follows _REQUEST[quantity] Array ( [0] = 1 [1] = 2 [2] = 3 [3] = 4 [4] = 5 ) All you need to do is explicitly specify the index of quantity[] on the first page and use the SKU or Part Number as the index. (I made up some part numbers to show you how to do it) So, now your code will look like this: FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=./page2.php INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[b54] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[t3fl] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[8956798] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[A-E3600] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=TEXTBOX NAME=quantity[SA-8] VALUE=BR INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT /FORM Now the array that is passed to page2 looks like this: _REQUEST[quantity] Array ( [b54] = 1 [t3fl] = 2 [8956798] = 3 [A-E3600] = 4 [SA-8] = 5 ) Voila!

Re: [PHP-DB] URL question
a 404 script is the way I would handle it. Modify what the server does when it finds a page that doesn't exist. Currently the server issues 404 headers and displays a brain dead message about not being able to find the page. Change that so that the server issues 200 headers (tricking the client which has friendly error message enabled) and pick off the part after the .com/ and do a look up for the item. If found, proceed as expected, it not found display, a brain dead 404 message. How do you modify the server? Either modify the 404 directive in Apache or one of the other lesser products or setup a .htaccess file on their domain The .htaccess has a line that says: ErrorDocument 404 /new.php Which means when the page is not found display the page /new.php Build your product look up and place it in the file new404.php Be sure that the first line of new.php is ?header(HTTP/1.0 200 OK); That's the header that tricks the Friendly Error Message I wish I had come across this info as easily as you just did!

Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2005 13:45:45 +
Hi guys!
I have a basic form to upload files, my problem is about the mime type.
I use $type= $_FILES[$file_uploaded]['type']; to check the mime-type of
the
fila as I want to allow only .jpeg.
I have then a test like:
if ($type==image/pjpeg || $type==image/jpeg)
{
...
}
Upload working fine if I send red.jpg.
However if I rename the file in red, php recognizes it as
application/octet-stream and not jpeg.
I'm working under linux and for me the extension is not required for a
file, I thought the mime-type was encoded in the file itself and was
independent of the extension.
Any clue on that?
Any other php function I should look at?
The cookbook and pear both use $_FILES[ ] ['type'] so I have no idea
here.
Thanks,
Melanie

Re: [PHP-DB] using POST data for a readfile
Trap for the referral page in the callFile.php page.
Allow the proper referral page to pass (could be multiple pages if you
choose) but if the users modify the URL of the GET the referral page will be
blank or perhaps more precise the referrer var will be empty and
nonexistent.
Do a phpinfo and look for the var:
_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]
this will allow them to try to modify the url and you will know who is
attempting it -- if you'd care to know that info.

this works fine, but I just would like to use a post instead of a get, to

getFile($fileId);

Almost. But since this is not horseshoes nor hand grenades...
Here is a trap for A/N characters:
if (eregi(^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$,$GP[sifre])) {
corrections to your code:
Move the carat to the outside of the bracket -- I think the carat inside the
bracket means negation (I think). You want a starting character anchor so
that your code translates to start with any of the following.
Add the plus sign after the brackets -- means one or more of the preceding
characters
Add the $ after the + sign -- means only the preceding character can be at
the end of the line. Without the $ as an end anchor the user would be able
to put non-A/N characters at the end of the line of A/N characters and your
code would not trap it.

example, if the the last page only have 2 records, the tfoot will
appear

i am wondering how can i use PHP to fix the position of my header and
footer
PHP cannot help you here, it's the wrong tool for the job (it's a
hammer
not a screwdriver so to speak).
You need to (*must* !!!) use CSS to position and specify the height and
dimensions of the thead and tfoot thus :
thead {
display: table-header-group;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
height: 36pt;
width: 100%;
}
tfoot {
display: table-footer-group;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 36pt;
width: 100%;
}
These should apply *reasonably* well to position your thead and tfoot
row
groups in the same place on each printed page (adjust as desired). You
*cannot* use PHP to guess the height of the page areas reliably unless
you are using a fixed pitch font such as a dot matrix line printer. And
even then it's somewhat guesswork (I've done both).
But if we're assuming that you're users have laser printers you *must*
use
CSS to do the print layout, PHP line height guessing will not work for

Re: [PHP-DB] Working with multiple tables...
What is the nature of the userid? is it something assigned by one of the
systems? or is it chosen by the user himself? or is it a constant such as
am employee ID?
Here's how I would approach it:
query the tables for the occurrence of the userid and obtain the system name
at the same time.
with the results, build a multidimensional associative array with userid and
system name such as
$prior[$row[system_name]][$row[userid]] = grey;
Then in the code for the page loop though the systems with the userid such
as:
foreach ($prior as $system) { // This will hit your systems one
after the other
if ($prior[$system[$userid]]) { // if this variable exists, it will
test as true
$color = grey;
} else {
$color = black;
};
};
That would be my starting stab at it. I hope I understand enough of what
you're trying to do and that perhaps you understand what I am trying to do.
Let me know if this needs clarification.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Working with multiple tables...
I am working on revising a web request app that I have already
developed. The app basically provides a list of system names with
checkboxes for a user to select to request accounts on the systems. One
feature I am intending to add is that the app should check a separate
database of user accounts to see if the user already has an account on
the system. I think I could get it to work by making a query of the
userid for each system, but this seems quite inefficient. I would
rather somehow have a single query that gets a list of system names and
also checks the user account database at the same time to determine if
the user already has an account. Then I would like to display ALL of
the systems, but grey out the ones that the user already has accounts
on. Can someone help me figure out the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP-DB] undefined function error
It could be possible that mySQL is not enabled in your installation of PHP. Let the server parse a page with phpinfo() in it and read the results. Look for mySQL enabled. Perhaps the reason it runs fine on another server is that the php on that server has mysql enabled.

Re: [PHP-DB] variable and MySQL
I think I understand your question. Perhaps what you want is not a variable
variable -- but a variable (determined from the context).
Variables always vary depending on the situation as opposed to a constant
which - uhh -- stays constant. Combine the variable and the constant in a
new variable first with concatenation.
$question_pointer = $xxx . _name_en;
$get_question_data[$question_pointer]

$get_question_data[{$test}_name_en]
${get_question_data[$test_name_en]}
but nothing works any help would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP-DB] Error with Where Clause
use backticks (read -- not single quotes, not double quotes, but backticks) to quote your fields such as where `1091vote038.state` = `109caucuses1.state` It is possible that the code is interpreting the 109 part of your table name as a integer. That just might do it.

[PHP-DB] file() fails to read https
I am writing php code on a Unix server which reads a call to Micro$oft SQL statement via asp on an IIS server. I am using file() to get the results. This works beautifully: $fcontents = file (http://www.domain.com/URLSearch.asp?Info=$info;); The results of the query are in $fcontents. Pretty standard php stuff. However, when I make the same call on a secure connection (as in) , $fcontents = file (https://www.domain.com/URLSearch.asp?Info=$info;); I get the following error message: Warning: file(https://www.domain.com/URLSearch.asp?Info=$info;) - No such file or directory in /home/mysite/phplib/getinfo.php on line 4 The only change in the entire code is the s. Let me see if I can answer some questions before they are asked: Yes. I am actually getting real content on the non-secure connection. Yes. The secure connection is really functional on the other server. (I can actually cut the above address and paste it into the address bar and get the results that I am expecting.) So, my question is How do I read this secure file? No one even mentions https in the file() function section of php.net. Thanks, Mark
