it's trivial with Javascript, but if you don't want to use that it's still
doable.

There was a message posted today for a script viewer that is probably what
you guys are looking for.  It can be found here:
http://www.angorasoftware.com/scriptviewer.html

This windows application is designed to show a parsed script file without
the need of a web server. This may be useful for CD-ROM distribution,
Stand-Alone materials, and other uses. The application starts the php
executable with a file parameter, showing the result in a HTML format.

Hope this helps.

Yowza!

Thanks Phil.
I went to the site above and found out that they also have a new site at
www.httrack.com, and that the thing is  also available for Linux and
Solaris.
I downloaded and simply launched it (as usual, you have your
three-screens-load of switches) and it correctly parsed and saved the
files in a safe format (index.html and then index.html, where 
is an alphanumberic combo).
Works great: anybody looking out for a quick way to move some PHP site
to a CDRom should go take a look.

Thanks again

[PHP] Problem with cookie

[Mihailo Dzigurski]

Hello,

I need cookie that will expire in 15 mins. My server is in different time
zone than most of my clients. When I set cookie, the cookie is already
expired when it reach clients. I use setcookie("Test", "1", time()+600).

This problem only happens with IE, Netscape is working fine?!

Is there any solution for my problem?

Regards,
Mihailo.

[PHP] Problem with passthru

[Manuel Forget]

I use passthru to launch an Unix command but after it's done (I verufy the
execution of the unix prog) , it seems that php does not work anymore. The
loading of a php page is infinite.
First, I think that the unix shell does not send to php the end of the
command, so I use "&" at the end of the command in passthru but it doesn't
do anything better.

Re: [PHP] session problem using headers

[David Allen]

Thanks for your email. I did the changes you suggested, and the page  is now
going
to" input.php?=" ie no record of the SID.

I added the following lines to the code.

echo "SID: $SID";
and
echo "SID: $PHPSESSID";

and $SID was not displayed i.e just SID: was displayed. I guess this is the
problem.
For some reason,  SID is not assigned a value. However, PHP is creating a file
in /tmp
on the server called sess_09591b3e465294959ecde0ee41f6c188 and as I said in
the last e-mail, sessions with cookies is working fine.

Thanks again for any ideas. I am using php 4.0.5 running on Sun Solaris

[PHP] "report" generation with PHP

[Matthew Garman]

Hello:

I wrote an small web application that interfaces a Microsoft Access
database.  The database is fairly small and simple: it is a listing of
employees, their phone number(s) and their department.  My interface
allows folks to view the phone list, search for a name, list by
department, etc., and allows certain users to update the phone book (add
employees, change phone numbers, etc).  It's a fairly "typical" phonebook
application.

The Access database has a macro in it that allows for the generation of a
report.  The report is a nicely formatted listing of all the employees and
their phone numbers, grouped by department.  Everybody fits on one page.
The whole purpose of this report is to be printable, and so that the one
page phone list can be distributed throughout the factory.

Now I want to be able to generate this report from the web.  It doesn't
have to use Access (and I would prefer that it didn't, so I can convert to
MySQL).  But I don't know of a nice (and easy!) way to generate such a
report.  Using HTML tables isn't acceptable---when you print, you still
get the header and footer that the browser adds (and it's unacceptable to
have everyone modify their browser's setup).  Furthermore, the printable
list has to look as close as possible to the original, because if I start
changing formats, people will get upset.

So I'm not really too sure where to start on this one.  If anyone could
offer some suggestions, and point me in the right direction, it would be
sincerely appreciated!

Thanks,
Matt

[PHP] php file extensions with IIS

[Matthew Garman]

I installed PHP 4.0 on an MS Windows 2000 server (running IIS 5.0).  It
processes files whose extension is ".php" but displays files with ".php3"
and ".php4" extensions as text.

I might have specified such behavior in the original installation.  But
now I can't find out where to associate other extensions with the PHP
engine.  Mainly I want to install the phpMyAdmin package to get started
with MySQL (and get rid of MS Access :), but all the PHP files in that
package are named with ".php3" or ".php4" extensions.

By the way, I've been using Linux exclusively for the last few years, so
I'm not too Windows savvy.  But I'm working at an internship where
everything is Windows-based, so I'm a bit lost (but feeling more at home
by using great open source packages like PHP and MySQL :)

Thanks!
Matt

RE: [PHP] the triple equal sign?

> What is the '===' ?

You can not only compare if the content of two variables
is the same ($a == $b) - you can also compare the type (integer, float...)

$a = 1;
$b = 1;

$a == $b -> TRUE

$a = "1";
$b = 1;

$a === $b -> FALSE  because $a is a STRING and $b is a INTEGER!

[PHP] how to strip just the tag from html file?

I've created a "printer-friendly" version of a page (PHP/MySQL) and want to
have just the  tags automatically removed.  I thought about using

exceptions so that they would not be removed too.  How can I do this?  Thank

Re: [PHP] Re: Problem with cookie

[Justin Farnsworth]

You may have different behaviour between browsers, but you
are never going to be able to use this method reliably because
of the vagaries of "times" encountered on the client side.
Just look at the postings to this list, supposedly more
sophisticated computer users, as some postings are dated
1972, last month, 2010 et cetera.

[PHP] Exec, system, passthru didn't work

[Reuben D Budiardja]

Hi,
I tried to execute the following command from the web interface using a 
system call
/usr/bin/play a_wave_file.wav

I tried exec, system, passthru, and shell_exec. None of them worked, that is 
I didn't hear any sound played. Note that I'm sitting here on the server 
itself, and tried it with a web browser in the server. The command is 
executed fine when I just copy it and run it in terminal. I also made sure 
that nothing blocked the sound card, that is, the sound card was not in use.

However, if I tried to run the same file using php as command line, it works 
find.

exec, system, passthru returns the value 2, which I don't know what it means. 

Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Cannot add SNMP support

[Robert Covell]

I have been trying to add snmp support into PHP 4.0.4pl1 and 4.0.6 without
success.  The box currently has ucd-snmp-4.2.1 on it and is working fine
with our mod_perl installation.  When we configure it with --with-snmp
and --enable-ucd-snmp-hack it configures fine and lists the it has found
SNMP.  The compile goes smoothly but when I try to run it returns:

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  snmpget() in ./snmpmonitor.
php on line 2

It is like snmp is not even compiled in.  Our configure options are:
./configure  --with-gd=/usr/local/gd1.3 --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--enable-debug=no --enable-track-vars=yes --with-msql=/usr/local/Hughes
--enable-ftp --enable-snmp --with-snmp=shared --enable-ucd-snmp-hack

We did notice that configure stated that in order to use the shared libs
elsewhere we should use libtool or 1 or 3 other options.  Not sure how to do
this part.

When we do it without the "shared" option for --with-snmp or replace it with
/usr/local it returns:

Re: [PHP] sending to large mailing list

[Adrian Teasdale]

Richard

Thanks for this email.  I have done that and used flush(); on the next page.
It does seem to be taking a long time and I was wondering if people use
other methods.  For example, one of the scripts I have seen can use either
"mail", "sendmail", or "smtp" as options.  I was wondering if going direct
to sendmail would be a better approach?  The idea is that this database will
expand to quite a few thousand in the near future and I want to know that
we'll be able to handle it :)  The problem is that I "cleverly" added the
feature that each email has a salutation which personalized to the persons
name!

Thanks for the help

RE: [PHP] how to strip just the tag from html file?

[Adrian Ciutureanu]

$printerFriendlyContent = eregi_replace(']*>', '', $htmlContent);

You can also use
$printerFriendlyContent = eregi_replace('src="[^"]*"',
'src="images/spacer.gif"', $htmlContent);
to preserve formatting (spacer.gif = 1x1 px transparent)

[PHP] submitting free-form text to a database

[garman]

Hello.  I'm creating a simple "Classifieds" PHP application.  It allows users 
to view classifieds by category, and add new items to the database.  For now, 
I'm using MS Access 97 as my database (although eventually I would like to 
switch to MySQL).

Anyway, one element of a classified is the description.  I have a "textarea" 
box where the user enters a description of the item he is selling.  If the 
user's input contains an apostrophe (aka a single quote "'") or even a double 
quote, the code gets confused.

A single quote is used around values in an SQL update command.  So if the 
value itself contains a single quote (or multiple single quotes) I get an SQL 
error when trying to update the database (understandably so).

When the user input contains double quotes, PHP gets confused and thinks other 
form variables aren't set, which then confuses the SQL update command.

What kind of form processing do I need to do to fix these things?

Thanks,
Matt

I forgot to mention that I already looked into the PDF extensions.  Although
it looks like it would do exactly what I want, the PDFLib isn't free for
commercial use.  As an intern, I'm not in a position to make purchase
decisions (and I'm pretty sure my supervisor won't pay for it either!).

Thanks anyway,

[PHP] sessions . . . .

[Jon Yaggie]

i have  three pages all begin with session_start()  one fo the variables i register on 
the first page si $directory which is used to create a unique and temp directory for 
user files.  in the first this is some stuff saved tot his directory.  in the second 
page there is information pulled fromt this directory.  in the third when i try to 
save to it i get the following erros


Warning: fopen("/body.html","a+") - Permission denied in 
/home/www/hvacsites.com/SiteBuilder/control.php on line 35

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in 
/home/www/hvacsites.com/SiteBuilder/control.php on line 36

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in 
/home/www/hvacsites.com/SiteBuilder/control.php on line 37

from the code

 $pg_info .= "";
 $file = "$directory/body.html";
 $handle = fopen($file, "a+");
 fputs($handle, $pg_info);
 fclose($handle);

as you can see in the error $directory appears not to be there.  i didnt unregister 
it.  i didnt change it.  where did it go?  and what might have cause this??

Honestly speaking, when mailing lists grow to (somewhere past trivial)
numbers that are large it's best to use software that is designed to be
efficient at handling those numbers of people. I use ezmlm to handle a few
lists that total about 2000 people, others use majordomo or another such
list. ezmlm has options to interface w/ mysql should you want to.

The administration, handling of bounces, etc. can overwhelm!

I was originally using regular expressions to achieve the same effect as 
addslashes().  But I switched to addslashes() anyway, and the problem 
persists.

My guess is that MS Access uses a method other than slashes to escape quotes.

Probably ''

Turn on magic_quotes_sybase in your php.ini file and it should work.

Does it work from the shell if you su to the web server user id and try to
run it?  99% of shell exec issues are permission-related.

It _is_ another line; it just happens to starts with whitespace. 
check RFC822.

If you have the whole message in a string (psuedo-code):

list ($h,$msg) =split("\n\n", $mailmsg);

$h=str_replace("\t", " ", $h);  //  -> 
$h=str_replace("\n ", " ", $h); //   ->  
// i.e. continuation of prior line 

$hdrs=split("\n", $h);

If I remember the best things with M$ oriented database, is to to double

RE: [PHP] sessions . . . .

[scott [gts]]

any number of things could happen to the $directory variable...
it could be out of scope, gotten overwritten or unset by another
function, or it might just never have been saved to the database...

but the real problem with that code is that there are no 
error checks on the file functions.  that is a bad thing.

you should *always* check file operations for errors.
$fp = fopen( ... ) or die("Cannot open");

Luiz

I can see from the error message the variable is empty in control.php.
however there are two pages of script before it where it does exist.   So
the problem is why isnt it also available in this part of the script?  i
have started the session on this page also which should make it avaiable.  i
do register more variables on this page but i never reregister $directory

[Steve Brett]

don't echo and printf do different jobs ?

as i understand it echo will dump anything to screen, fprint will accept
formatted text args like "you owe me %d dollars",$owed_amount) or something
like that.

i kind of use print by itself (harking back to the old days of basic etc)
but use echo quite a lot. only use printf when i have to put cash amounts in
and stuff like that.

Try researching regular expressions. In PHP, look at the preg and ereg

You prolly mean print; There may be some minor differences from echo,

[PHP] escape char hell

[Steve Brett]

hi,

i've got myself into a bit of a mess. i have a database with approx 4000
records (mysql) and when  i populated the database i was given 4000 text
files with the product name as the file name and the description of the
product as the contents.

so i set up a text field in the table to hold the descriptions and wrote a
script in php to handle the import. all went well, client impressed etc, but
now i'm running into problems with allsorts of escape chars in the
description field and am looking for a script that will strip the escape
chars from the database ...

anyone had similar problems ? new records added to the db now have all html
chars translated on input and translated on query.

many thanks,

Steve

Re: [PHP] echo vs printf

[Steve Brett]

i seem to remember reading somewhere that print acts like (is) a function,
presumably returning false if  it cannot print to screen, whereas echo just
dumps it.

also you can drop vars in print like

print "you have $points points";

whereas to echo it you'd have to concatenate the string.

[PHP] infinite loop problem

[Florin Covaciu]

HI,
my bigest problem in the last two weeks is that I can't figure this out:
- I ' m running a script which contains an infinite loop, and displays
something from time to time, with flush() method.
- this script seems to be working with one IE window openned.
- I open a new window (CTRL + N)
and the script still works
- on the third window nothing happens (the new window doesn't display the
output from the script).
This is until I stop (by pushing the stop button) one of the others
windows(as if the new window waits for the ones before to finish something).

The same thing works perfectly in Netscape, or Opera. No mather what
version.
And also if I start another IEXPLORE proces for every window in which I want
to have this script running all of them will work.


How can I solve this problem,
Please, if You have any Idea of how to solve this problem send me an email
to:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is the script code:



 Untitled





";
while(0!=5)
{
  $i=$i+1;
  $s=$s+1;
  if($s==1000)
  {
echo $i."";
$s=0;
 sleep(3);
  }
  echo " ";
  flush();
}
?>

Re: [PHP] echo vs print (was echo vs printf)

[Sheridan Saint-Michel]

Ummm.  I am not sure about either having a return value... but

print "you have $points points";

and

echo "you have $points points";

have identical output.  You can drop a variable into an echo statement with
no problem

Do you know if there is a function to find out if a variable contains a

Re: [PHP] echo vs printf

[rm]

Actually, you can do the same thing with echo.

echo "you have $points points";

As I understand it, echo is not a function it's a
language something or other, supposedly it runs
slightly faster than print given the same output.

however, given it's Monday, I could be wrong.

[PHP] string replace using ereg

[Jeroen Olthof]

hi,

I want to replace strings in string using a key / value array as the
replacemant contract
basicly,
I want to find a open en close tag, pick out the word in the middle and
replace it by the value of the key that match the picked out word.
example

<> <>

should result in

this is a test this is a test

well, The below code works for only one replacement cause when I add another
on the same line. it will pick out
test>> < "this is a test" )

$OPENTAG = "<<";
$CLOSETAG = ">>";

while ($line[$i]) {
ereg($OPENTAG."([^*]*)".$CLOSETAG, $line[$i], $regs);
$newString .= str_replace($this->OPENTAG.$regs[1].$this->CLOSETAG,
$ASSIGN[$regs[1]], $line[$i]);
}

RE: [PHP] echo vs printf

[scott [gts]]

from the manual:
[print is a language construct [EMAIL PROTECTED]]
The print() function returns a boolean indicating the status of the call. If the
write was successful, print() returns 1. If not, it returns 0. This can be used to
detect when the client has closed the connection, and appropriate measures taken. The
builtin echo does not provide this same service.


can anyone else think of any other difference between
print and echo ?

i use print, becuase that's what i'm used to...
but i'd be curious to find out if there really
is any significant differences between the way
echo and print both work.

read the docs for ereg... i hardly use it, so i dont know
for certain if it will match. (althouth the use of "^" at
beginning *and* end suggests that it wont do what you expect)

preg will match "aol.com" with this regexp:

preg_match('/aol.com/', $string )

[scott [gts]]

even numbers are even becuase they're divisible by 2
w/o a remainder... use this property to your advantage:

if ( $num % 2 ) {
print "$num is odd";
}
else {
print "$num is even";
}

To do what you want, throw a loop statement around the preg_replace

Re: [PHP] session problem using headers

[David Allen]

Further to the last e-mail the plot thickens...

If cookies is turned on, the line

echo "SID: $PHPSESSID";

displays the session id. I thought the whole idea of using $PHPSESSID was so that
sessions
would work with cookies turned off! Am I missing something here?

I disabled cookies via the preferences advanced tab in Netscape.

RE: [PHP] Re: echo vs printf

[Gonyou, Austin]

print, echo, and printf are all available to help different coders code in
their own style. So if you're used to just using echo in "shell", or print
in perl/basic or perhaps printf, in c/c++/java/asp, there you go. Make a
language easy to get stuff out of, and you can have a really quick user
base.

Couldn't he just do something like

It just seems like using ereg for this is like killing a fly with a

Re: [PHP] mysql ERROR: Update Query Failed problem with 4.0.6

[David Wartell]

I know a lot of people are having this problem too because there is a bug report with 
the same/similar description for many
different platforms.

Here is how I got things to work.  I did this with the latest php4 dev CVS snapshot 
(which also has the same error) but it should
work on 4.0.6 also.  I believe this problem is a problem with different version of the 
MySQL API that PHP is using.  MySQL just made
some changes to their API with the last couple of versions the latest 3.23.39 is what 
I am running and what I experienced the
problem with.

Build PHP with --with-mysql but DO NOT specify the path to mysql.  By not specifying 
the path mysql will use its built-in static
version of the mysql client lib.  There is a warning that doing this this way will not 
work when using mysql-auth apache module but
I use the latest version of mysql-auth and found no problems.

good luck

-David

Does anyone know of other lists, or better yet, have a text file of
free email domains?

FWIW re: dmoz.or,  provides an index of topics and

think the content material is over 500megs, but it's
free. It's in some sort of text format, I can't seem

hehe... that's what regular expressions are for.
they're extrememly powerful... but that doesnt mean that
you should only use them for extremely complicated situations.
they work great everywhere... 

if you dont like "overdoing it", you might as well loop
thru the string character by character, C-style.  :-)

RE: [PHP] submitting free-form text to a database

[scott [gts]]

for the quotes thing.  you must have single quotes around the
values that will go to the database, and you must escape single
quotes inside the value with either "''" or "\'" (at least in 
MySQL, both work)

and as for the database... IMO, you should download MySQL now and
save yourself a ton of trouble porting/updating code later on.

MySQL is free, fast, good, stable, etc.  Everything i hear about
Microsoft databases leads me to believe that they're buggy, slow,
and incompatible with most other databases.  

if you write the entire thing for MS-access, you'll probably have
to re-write half the database access code when you decide to
switch to MySQL... so better to do it sooner than later and save
yourself the work down the road.  :-)

[PHP] Re: free email providers

[Inércia Sensorial]

  Hi,

  I am not trying to discredit your decision to don't accept free emails,
but look for example my situation. The only email accounts I have are on
free email providers. I also connect to the internet using a free ISP, so
there's no pratical reason to use a paid email. So it would be impossible to
confirm my account on your service. If it is a public service, where anyone
can sign up, I think yo should reconsider your decision, unless there is a
strong reason behind to not do it...

Maybe some variable that can be called at the bottom of the page or

I encounter many sites that now refuse free email addresses.  That
alone is a practical reason to use a paid email or paid ISP.

I don't expect the free ISP concept to live much longer.  Look at
NetZero's share price.  They are in danger of delisting by nasdaq
soon.

Yes, that is our intention.

Free email addresses are virtually untraceable.  You can provide
totally fraudulent information when signing up with most of them.

That is unacceptable for our purposes.

You need to open the file before you can actually write to it

try this:

fwrite($fp, $articletext);
fclose($fp);

[PHP] true type fonts

i am creating images using true type fonts.  i have uploaded all my fonts into one 
directory on the server(/fonts)  

some fonts like arial.ttf work.  however other show up as boxes.  they are beautiful 
but not quit the desired effect.  what is the problem any idea?  it cant be a 
scriptproblem can it? it has to be the files or maybe server set up?   i have done 
this before with no problem so i am stumped at what the difference here is and why 
some work.

I can only guess what you mean here, but I think that's a good point. Maybe 
the play program wouldn't work withough a controlling tty. Do you know how 
to check, or any work around?

[PHP] Quoted-Printable Encoding

[Sheridan Saint-Michel]

I am trying to put together a script that e-mails web pages (similar to the send page 
functionality in IE).

Is there a function that will convert HTML from plaintext into Quoted-Printable 
Encoding (ie = becomes =3D) so I can 
e-mail it?

Or will one of the encodings available (ie rawurlencode) work in it's place?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know what to say, my comment was based on

http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1/fid/40

note the author.

I ran your code in both windows and linux and got
faster speeds, on a regular basis, for echo. That
said, the speed differences were not great(minor is a
good description), I think the greatest was half a sec
for 1 million loops.

But, I'm not sure if there is a version available in PHP without compiling

[PHP] return

Here's my code:


I know this isn't the correct usage of return, but how to I get the $month
and $year variables so I can print them after I've called the expDate()
function?  Currently, nothing is printed to the browser.

You cannot use "return" twice like that.  The function will
exit immediately after the first valid "return" call it hits.
To do what you want, you can do this:



function expDate($date, $returnMonth, $returnYear ) {
$month = substr("$date", 0, 2);
$len = strlen($date);
$year = substr("$date", $len-2, $len);
$returnMonth = $month;
$returnYear = $year;
}

$month = 0;
$year = 0;

expDate( "11/2002", &$month, &$year );
print "$month $year";

--

The "&" operator passes a variable by reference.

Alternately, you can do:



function expDate($date, $returnMonth, $returnYear ) {
global $month;
global $year;

$month = substr("$date", 0, 2);
$len = strlen($date);
$year = substr("$date", $len-2, $len);

}

$month = 0;
$year = 0;

expDate( "11/2002" );
print "$month $year";

--

Though, I try to use "global" as little as possible.

Re: [PHP] Quoted-Printable Encoding

[Sheridan Saint-Michel]

I tried the imap_8bit function, but got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_8bit() in
/home/www/foxjet/admin/mailer.php on line 44

I do not have control over what is compiled on my hosts machine.  They are
running PHP 4.0.4pl1

I am not sure how to tell what has and has not been compiled, but I threw up
an info page here

http://www.foxjet.com/info.php

Are there any other functions I could use, instead if imap_8bit?

No wonder, because you don't assign the returned value of expDate to
anything..

well, if you want to return two values, I'd suggest to use an array,
like so:

function expDate($date){
  $month = 08; // whatever
  $year = 15; // whatever

  $return_value = array(
"month" = $month,
"year"  = $year
  );

  return $return_value;
}

$date = expDate("4711");
print $date["month"] . " " . $date["year"];

There's more than one way to skin a cat - if not directly from PHP to PDF,
why not PHP to a .TeX LaTeX file, then use exec() to run latex and dvi2pdf
on it.  No license restrictions there that I know of, and you can get some

That's true :)
I usually set cookie expireation at least 100 hours or use no expiration(session
cookie) to deal with wrong clock in clients.

I guess original poster can use 'max-age' to set shorter  cookie life time
safely.
(Sorry I don't use max-age, so I didn't mentioned it in previous post)

I'm interested in the claim that IE does not accept cookie which expires in less
than 7200 sec. is true or not. If this is true, for which versions.
