Poke them in an array, and use asort() or sort()with the sortflag 
parameter set for numeric. I think that should work.

The optional second parameter sort_flags may be used to modify the 
sorting behavior using theese values:
Sorting type flags:
• SORT_REGULAR - compare items normally
• SORT_NUMERIC - compare items numerically
• SORT_STRING - compare items as strings

[PHP] Sablotron and remote URI's

[Darron Froese]

For some reason - this works just fine:

$processor = xslt_create();
xslt_run($processor, 'diary.xsl', 'test.xml');
print xslt_fetch_result($processor);
xslt_free($processor);

While this doesn't work at all:

$processor = xslt_create();
xslt_run($processor, 'diary.xsl', 'http://baby.froese.org/baby.xml');
print xslt_fetch_result($processor);
xslt_free($processor);

Fatal error: cannot read from URI 'http://baby.froese.org/baby.xml' in
/home/darron/public_html/baby/xslt.php on line 38

Can I not read from a remote URI?

I can segfault the server at will if I use fopen to work around that URI
problem:

http://baby.froese.org/baby.xml";, "r");
$xml = fread($fp, 1000);
fclose ($fp);

$processor = xslt_create();
xslt_run($processor, 'diary.xsl', $xml);
print xslt_fetch_result($processor);
xslt_free($processor);

?>

Any ideas?

I tried to update to 4.0.7-cvs just now but for some reason I can't get it

I've got PHP 4.0.6 compiled and working properly with this configure script:

[PHP] Sablotron configure options...

[Darron Froese]

Do I need to use "--enable-xslt" as this bug report seems to indicate?



Or are these enough to enable Sablotron and get XSLT processing properly:

--with-sablot
--with-xslt-sablot
--with-expat-dir=/usr

It appears to be basically functional - transforms work just fine with
static .xsl and .xml files - but I am seeing a few segfaults at other times.

I tried removing "--with-sablot" and adding "--enable-xslt" but then I get
this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: xslt_run() in
/home/darron/public_html/baby/xslt.php on line 37

When I try to use all four - it doesn't compile:

--enable-xslt
--with-sablot
--with-xslt-sablot
--with-expat-dir=/usr

Re: [PHP] Sorting IP Address Data

[Chris Fry]

Chris,

Understand the problem now.

All you need to keep is the last octect of the IP Address.

The following code snippet generates an array entry for each ip. The array is
then sorted and the result prepended with the base IP.

";
 $aryIP[$i] = $strIP;
}
sort($aryIP);
for ($i=0;$i<=255;$i++) {
 $strIP = $strBaseIP.$aryIP[$i];
 print "IP = $strIP";
}
?>

Pretty rough and ready but it should point you in the right direction.

If you need to sort IP's from differnet subnets then you need to split the IP as
per the previous suggestion.

Chris

Until they submit the form, PHP has nothing to act on.

For this problem, you need a client-side solution:  Javascript

only partly correct. it can't be done using PHP (and since we're in PHP
discussion list I'll presume with "Can't be done" you were referring to
PHP), because it's a SERVER-SIDE language and by hitting refresh you're not
actually sending any formdata to the server. you could, however, get some
client-side scripting language to store cookies everytime data is changed in
the form-fields. JavaScript would be a good start.

check at www.javascriptsource.com - they probably have a similar script that
you can then slightly adapt.

Using a frameset prevents the GET url from appearing in the browser
window, if that's all you want to achieve -- and you don't need lynx
compatibility.

Here's a dummy frameset that should get you started.  Just put it in a
file by itself, perhaps named "myscript.html"

Also notice the second frame uses "myscript.php" as its source:

You're supposed to technically be able to save COM objects out to a CORBA idl;
however, that may be far more work then the original poster wanted to do.

MS did join the OMG, and there are supposedly some tools out there, but 
nothing as
easy to use as java2idl.

[PHP] Re: Sorting IP Address Data

[Gregory]

That looks clumsy, but it will work :
you could make a multidimensional hash (treat it like table) like
ips["first"][x]
ips["second"][x]
etc
it is like table "ips":

first  |   second   |  third  |   etc
-
127  |0   | 0   |
127. |0   | 1   |
etc

using split() function
and sort it by one of the dimensions with array_multisort
and then make every line of this table a string with something like
implode().
:))

[PHP] $HTTP_REFERER problem

[pekesan]

I know that some browsers doesn't gives support to $HTTP_REFERER variable ( 
lynx in example). I am thinking on checking the browser ident (with 
HTTP_USER_AGENT) and managing $HTTP_REFERER as a session var in those cases 
who doesn't give support. But it would be great that if somebody found 
another solution shares it with me.

Thanks in advance , and compaints about my English,

[PHP] Re: Advanced Form Processing HELP

[Lang Sharpe]

Can't be done AFAIK. Because your webserver never receives the information 
when the page is reloaded, you can't send it back to him when he reloads.

Re: [PHP] Re: force download in IE -- conclusion

[Elias Santiago]

Not necessarily an answer but on my work (a computer center for medical
students) we use a propietary Perl web-based course software and when doing
attachments on email messages on the system's bulletin board, the system
sends a header with "appplication/octet-stream" and IE 5.5 "attaches" the
.html extension to some downloads (not all). It is a known IE 5.5 bug, the
only way we have done to try to circumvent it (doesn't work everytime) is to
use the "Save Link As" feature, and sometimes that does the trick.   IE 5.5
is buggy.

[PHP] Re: how to disable the automated "userID/password" in Internet Explor er

[Elias Santiago]

You need to go to:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Content (tab) -> Autocomplete -> clear the box
beneath "User names and passwords on forms" also press "Clear Passwords" if
you're concerned about passwords being remembered. Just check/uncheck the
options you need.

[PHP] Sorting IP Address Data

[Chris Aitken]

Hi all,

Just a quick one,

I am pulling a whole Class C list of IP addresses, and im trying to sort 
them in order, but im getting it displayed

127.0.0.1
127.0.0.10
127.0.0.100
127.0.0.101
127.0.0.102

etc. Is there any other way to sort this thinking they are numbers, rather 
than text ?


Thanks

[PHP] Advanced Form Processing HELP

[Arcadius A.]

Hello !
I have a simple form ("feedback.php") that could allow users to send me
seedbacks... the form is processed(email is sent ) by the script
"confirm.php".
My question is :
How could i make the values filled in the  form  remain unchanged even after
the user click on  the browser "Refresh/Reload" button without submittingf
the form ?
So , I would like the user not to loose the data he has  filled in the form
...even after a realod
My idea is to pass the vulues of  $smane , $smail etc in the URL  during the
reload.. but I still don't know how to get it done ...

Here is may "feedback.php"

Re: [PHP] The future of PHP

[Elias Santiago]

Just by looking at M$ history we all know that their only interest is
$$money$$.  Even if the product is not fully tested/bug-free and if 20% of
it works, they spit it out and leave the dirty work (and headaches) to the
system administrators and everyone else who's not a "plain non-technical
user" just trying to get their memo or spreadsheet done.  Then after that,
either M$ continues to "develop" the product with their famous "Service
Packs" or drop support after 1-3 years and force everyone to move in their
stream (which continues to produce $$money$$ for them).

Re: [PHP] Any point in learning ASP/JSP etc?

[Elias Santiago]

I have learned (and used) both PHP and ASP.  However, when I was beginning
with PHP, I always made it first on ASP then re-implemented on PHP.  I
always found PHP to be easier, shorter (but more powerful) logic (scripts
are shorter than ASP).

I guess it has served me well, I have learned to do it "the HARD" way and
then learn to do it easier and in a short time with PHP.  I guess it is  the
experience you have with programming: all the "tinkering", discoveries of
unusual command and function behaviors (c'mon we ALL have been tru this!),
OS and web server particularities, etc.  That's the kind of background any
employer would like to know and I have to agree with John in that point.

I specialize in PHP and MySQL on Windows NT/2K with IIS/Apache.  I know it's
impossible to be good in everything, but at least knowing a good piece from
each is not bad either.  For example, you don't have to be Picasso to paint
a house!  I have to admit, that not all people have the *aptitude* to do
this type of work, that's what makes the difference between exceptional
individuals and "plain Joes".  I can't judge myself on what type I am, or
believe that I'm something I may not be, that's a judgement others have to
take about me.  I just do my best to be on the "exceptionals" list.

my 2 cents.

Personally I would be a hell of a lot more worried if I was in the Java
camp.  M$ with .NET and especially CLR is gunning directly for Java and
its position in the enterprise.  PHP will roll with the punches and work
alongside .NET and CLR and always keep up with all the latest technologies
out there because PHP is developed by and for the web community.

Name a single interested web-related technology that PHP can't interact
with.  I can't think of one.  And as more come out, we'll find ways to get
PHP to talk to them.

can you drop or create tables ?

If not then your sql daemon permissions are messed up.

stop the daemon, chown -R mysql.mysql /path/to/mysql/data,
restart the daemon.

I don't know if you refer to this list or other one, but I've been a
webmaster since 1993 and in computers in general since 1988 and I also
consider myself of the "advanced" type.

He MAY be right, may not.  XML is just not so standardized (if in doubt look
how IE and Netscape each implement it "their way") I consider XML like
"freestyle HTML".   I know this technology has great potential but if
developers don't decide on how to standardize it, it could die young.  PHP
however (as an avid follower) is on a "fast track" and even Microsoft
considers it a strong contender to ASP.  However, both PHP and XML
technologies are just scripting engines.  Products like the Zend engine are
just starting to scratch the surface for truly dynamic, cached, real-time
web applications.  I'm not saying that either PHP or XML (or any other
technology that comes along) is going to die or leave the other "in the
dust" but look what has happened with Java, it has certainly lost momentum.

[PHP] The future of PHP

[Thomas Deliduka]

A little background... Skip to "THE JIST" if you wanna make this quick.

I am on this webmaster's list where most of the people are fairly new
webmasters. They're just getting the hang of things. I am probably one of
the only advanced ones on there (not to toot my own horn really) and I'm one
of two who use PHP (the other is just learning.)

I tout PHP and MySQL as awesome, which they are, but I don't say they're the
only technology out there.

There is another guy, a kid, who is a major Java guy and he's BIG into XML
and JSP.

Some guy on this list asked what a good dynamic web solution is, I
immediately chimed in and said PHP was great, free, and on most all linux
hosts.  Told him how powerful it was and what could be done with it.

This kid chimes in and says, something to the affect of that if the guy
wants to live in the past and not let his website go anywhere then he should
go with PHP but JSP is the wave of the future and it's more powerful, and
has the backing of the almighty Sun and the Open Source community (as if PHP
doesn't).

THE JIST

So, the jist is, what does PHP have to offer to the web in the future?  I
think it's still a viable option that will be around for at least another
6-7 years. This kid thinks it's shelf life is another 3.  What do ya'll
think?

Forrtunately , no. I wouldn't want someone wandering around in my machine 
and grabbing files at random.

But you can allow the client to select and upload files, which you could 
then display in a text box. See the manual section on handling file 
uploads.

Have you tried which php or locate php? If you don't have shell access 
you'll have to fiddle around with backticks or whichever of system() and

RE: [PHP] Any point in learning ASP/JSP etc?

[Dave]

I would say that depends on what platform you wish to market yourself on.

Being of *nix mind...  PHP works beautifully for virtually all aspects of Web
based scripting, and personally i use it for a vast majority of server scripting
as well.  And if not, it isn't a far cry from Perl syntax and train of
thought...

Then again, i personally wouldn't touch a windows box for the purpose of web
server/web hosting, and as such my background is perl/PHP and like minded shell
scripting.

I know I wasn't born with inate knowledge of VBScript or JScript, so one would
have to learn those anyway.

Some kid coming out of 3 years of school with a mitful of languages that they
were "introduced to" is no better off that the same kid who spent 3 years
learning the ins and outs just PHP or ASP...  just means that one has a poor
chance of getting an entry level job at either camp(MS/*nix)...  the other has a
slightly better chance of getting hired at only one.

And the desire to learn new and interesting things is always tempered by the
limited time to perfect ones chosen skillset.

In short, your best bet is to choose a camp...  MS based or *nix based...
master what is popular in the one you choose.

Yes. Normally you can escape with \" but in this case I think you will 
find that the array will not be parsed inside double quotes, so you need 
to concatenate the various parts of the string with .

Breaking your code down a bit to make it more easily understood:

echo '';
echo 'http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mcst&strt1=';
echo $amyrow["address"] . '&city1=' . $amyrow["city"]';
echo '&stnm1=CA&zipc1=&cnty1=4">Map';
echo '';

I don't know.  I've learned both PHP and ASP, and neither of them have

The fact is, you are going to learn what you are going to learn.  If you 
want to go with PHP only, that's your choice.

RE: [PHP] Any point in learning ASP/JSP etc?

[Jack Dempsey]

Seb,

I think the answer, tho it may not be a great one, is to become a
jackofalltrades-verygoodatallofthem kind of person if you truly want to
make yourself stand out...

Whether you love php or not, you have to respect the power it gives you
and the ease with which you can develop with it. However, it isn't the
end all language. No one would ever make that claim. If you truly want
to become a good programmer, then you should be able to look at a
problem, understand what you need, and then pick a language from your
arsenal. You could be Rasmus, but if your boss will not accept PHP, and
you don't know anything else, you're stuck...

I know what you mean about being good at one, or know many. I myself
have taken the latter approach. My Java skills aren't nearly as good as

PHP isn't default on Microsoft systems
You have to learn a new language for PHP: ASP is basically either
VBScript
or JScript around some objects.
To answer the question in your subject line, I think that if you were
interested in programming, you should want to learn any new technology
that
you could.  Plus, the more languages, the more employable, I would
think.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-fetch-row.php

"To step through the result more than once, you can call odbc_fetch_row()
with row_number 1,

result. If a driver

So, if using 1 as the second arg doesn't work, your ODBC driver sucks, and
you have no recourse?...

There *IS* some explanatory text about what happens depending on which args
you fill in.

Presumably you use "" for any args you don't care to fill in.

> The manual states that three of the arguments are superfluous, depending

Use "" on args you don't care about.  The function doesn't need them, but
PHP only allows leaving out arguments at the end of the list, not the
middle, so the "optional" argument language feature was probably not all
that useful.

> Can anyone please point me to a working code example or provide one?

That I can't do...

As near as I can figure, the pk_qualifier and pk_owner, and fk_qualifier and
fk_owner args are not needed?  Or, perhaps, if you specify them, the result
set is filtered down some way...

Try calling it with "" for all the arguments you don't understand, and see
what you get.

When you CREATE a table, you can declare a given COLUMN as a "FOREIGN KEY".
If you didn't do that, this function is pretty useless to you...

PS  If you do figure something out, contribute to the notes, eh?

By definition, this must be true.  (Short of some stupid JavaScript hack

You'll have to design your system such that everything you need to build a

You may have simply run out of process space or hit some OS limit or...

Don't.  Point them to /temp/$PID or something to get output you can use.  I
got no idea how to do that, mind you, but there has to be some way...

If nothing else, alter your logging to include a process ID, and output them
all using http://php.net/error_log

>I also noticed when looking at the output of 'top' i see few httpd
>processes crashing saying , this happens more rarely when i

By any chance do you have Oracle compiled in?...  There's some compile-time
configuration switch you need to use to re-compile to get rid of those...  I
forget exactly where I found that info...  Maybe ChangeLog?

>The benchmark scripts should log errors if there was no response from
>the server but i dont get any of those errors in the logs.

Have the benchmark scripts log much, much more, and narrow it down.
For example, add a line at the begining and end of your script logging the
process ID and that it's starting.

I suspect the 100 processes you see starting aren't *REALLY* starting, cuz
you're out of process space or there's some limit, and they live only long
enough to print "Unable to fork" or somesuch.  PHP itself never really gets
going.

Look for something like "get_field_names" or somesuch.

This is probably not the best design for doing Movie Reviews, so hopefully

Use http://php.net/strlen on your binary value.  Use http://php.net/filesize
on your input file.

Also, you either typed too fast, or you left out the global statement or
something.  The code as posted won't work, unless backtick operates in
global space or something really weird...

More as an exercise to get back into the swing of PHP, I have created the
PowerBall number generator. (for those of you un-aware, the powerball is at
$200 mil).

Took me a while to figure out using arrays, and the array_unique function.
It also incorporate the imagepng function.

Thanks to CC Zona for pointing me to the function I needed to get the job
done!

The page is at http://www.usrlinux.com/pball.php

welcome.

Enjoy!

RE: [PHP] 2 NEWBIE QUESTIONS

[Matthew Loff]

1)  strftime("%T on the %D", strtotime($yourdate));

Should produce:  00:12:45 on the 08-22-2001  

You can check the manual page for strftime() to see different ways to
format the time to your liking:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php


2)  The way you're trying to do that sounds a bit unnecessary, but take
a look at eval()

Subject: [PHP] 2 NEWBIE QUESTIONS


1) Is there any PHP command that'll convert a MySQL database timestamp
into a format that humans can read?!! For example, I want to change
"20010822001245" into "00:12.45 on the 22-08-2001"?

2) This is the hard question. I have a script that gets values from a
database and then includes a php page which contains "echo $variable"
code to get the values from the database onto the page.

What I want to do is have the PHP page code in the main script instead
of being included externally. So i tried putting the code into a
variable and then including, but it didnt work. Then I tried echoing the
variable but the PHP code isnt executed.

If you dont fully understand my question, mail me. I'm really stuck and
NEEDD HELP!!!

TIA

\n";
 return $unix;

You could add a $dateformat input variable, and execute Date() 
inside that function using it ... but I'll leave that one up to
you. This will change it into a unix timestamp acceptable to 
the date() function.

It sounds like you might be coming at this one from an odd approach... 
for one, include()'ing a file doesn't execute it externally, and it's 
probably the best way to do what I think you're trying to do, since you 
can then change the one include()'d file in order to change all your 
page layouts...

Re: [PHP] MySQL trubs

[hunter]

sounds like you need to make sure the password in phpMyAdmin and the
MySQL for the user running the app are the same. You can reset the users
password with mysqladmin -u username password new-password and then edit
the phpMyAdmin config and make sure everything matchesalso, one
small suggestion, you should run a DB admin app for anything production
or accessible that uses root, you should create or select a user and
grant them the appropriate privileges to run phpMyAdmin. This could lead
to a potential security breach on a machine thats accessible.

[PHP] Executing perl scripts in a unix environment running php cgi-module

[Shane Reid]

Running the cgi-module trying to execute a perl script, dug through the
archives found something that would at least return something:

exec("/full/path/to/file.cgi", $results, $errorCode);
while (list(,$line) = each($results)){
  echo $line, "\n";
}
if ($errorCode){
  echo "OS Error: $errorCode\n";
}

It spits out nothing but but an error code of 2 ... so basically what i get
from it is OS Error: 2.

Anyone know another method of including a cgi script similar to SSI 

[PHP] Mcrypt: just a little tip:-)

[Alex Piaz]

Hi Folks!

I am working on a project where I need to encrypt some data that will be 
decrypted later by a visual basic application and also receive encrypted 
data from that application and decrypt it on the webserver. To exchange the 
data, I did some xml and everything went fine, but I can't tell you the 
same about the encryption.

We chose to use BLOWFISH cbc to encrypt the data on both ways (php and vb). 
On php I am using the mcrypt module and at the vb side, the guys are using 
a dll version of the Blowfish algoritm.

Well, we are starting to fight each other, me and the vb guys, because we 
can encrypt and decrypt data on our own applications, but the encrypted 
data from php cannot be decrypted by visual basic, and vice-versa.

Of course the key and the iv are the same on both sides and the data is 
converted to hexa before the encrypt process. I did a lot of tests 
according the manual and some other sources, and everything seems to be ok. 
The vb guys are telling me the same and we are all on a dilema now, and the 
time is becoming short

If anybody knows something about it please let me know. Another point of 
views on doing this are welcome too.
Sorry for any language mistakes I did.

Regards

Alex

[PHP] Mac PHP'ers -> New PHP editor!

[Michael O'Neal]

Hi all.  I just stumbled across this earlier this week.  It's an app called
"JaneBUILDER" that helps with some of the PHP tedium of connecting,
selecting, and grabbing data from your MySQL db.  I was amazed at how fast I
put together an admin section for a client...3 minutes generated 10 pages!!!
Here's a little blurb from their website:

What is JaneBUILDER?


JaneBUILDER is a visual editor for PHP. JaneBUILDER allows you build complex
PHP pages with mouse clicks and menu items. The files created are native PHP
(text) files (that can be opened by any html tool or text editor) and
uploaded to your web server for deployment.

JaneBUILDER Philosophy:

JaneBUILDER is simple tool that lets you build PHP pages extremely quickly.
JaneBUILDER is not a replacement for your current HTML editor. Nor, is it a
replacement for your current text editor. JaneBUILDER is a tool that lives
in and lets you work in between these two worlds. We call it middleware for
your middleware. We think you'll love it so much you will add it to your
current arsenal of web tools.


I certainly don't work for them, but I think it's a cool app.  Windows
version on the way, apparently.

[PHP] Re: mysql_db_name not working (solved)

[Peter Ostry]

For those who might run into the same problem in the future:

If functions like "mysql_db_name" are not working and you get no 
mysqlerr, then most likely your PHP installation is messed up. Maybe you 
see the same behavior than we: phpinfo shows old and wrong stuff in the 
first section, i.e. an old servername or the wrong PHP version even if 
you installed a different one. phpinfo must never show wrong information!
In our case PHP is static compiled with Apache, I guess the Apache 
installation was not clean either.

This kind of error is easy to see if you install phpMyAdmin: you do not 
even get the index page. We finally connected to a running MySQL 
database on a production server, got the same result and could therefore 
isolate the problem - PHP or the combination Apache/PHP.

We run Solaris 2.8 on a Netra T1 AC200 and we are not familiar to this 
system yet. And we did more than one installation on this machine, maybe 
one or more were not correct. Since a complete new install of 
Apache/PHP/MySQL on a other Sun (X1) worked, we knew what to do:
Delete all previous installations of Apache and PHP. Make a fresh and 
empty /usr/local/ directory. delete all config files you might have in 
different locations. Unpack the downloads - all latest stable - only 
with gtar (important!) and compile only with gcc (important!). Now we 
are up and running, just the PHP library for dynamic image generation 
could not been installed - we are working on it.

Richard Lynch, thank you for your help. Your guess that there are 
accidently different libraries involved, pointed us in the right 
direction.

[PHP] MySQL trubs

[Michael O'Neal]

Hi. I've recently set up phpMyAdmin on an OS X 10.1 server.  Everything was
fine, and it set up great.  I then restarted the Apache server and am
getting this message:



Warning: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/Mangotest/phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php on line 351

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost'
(Using password: YES) in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/Mangotest/phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php on line 351
Error 

MySQL said:  Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)


I've been mucking around the command line for a while, but can't figure out
how to reset my root password.  It *was* setup with a root password, but it
won't let me in now.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I am on the digest.  Thanks.

[PHP] Re: Please Help - getting a hightlight depending on selected page

[Gabe da Silveira]

Okay, well you could either put code like this into each td cell like 
this:

>

That is kind of ugly, however.  A more elegant solution would be to make 
an array containing the links then do a loop kind of like this (I'm just 
typing the code off the top of my head, so there is likely to be some 
errors):

$menuItems = array('Home', 'Introduction', 'Changes & Cuts', 
'Scores', 'Orchestra', 'Synthesizers', 'Sound System', 'Articles');
$i = 0;
foreach ($menuItems as $item) {
   if($sect == $i) {
  print "$item\n";
   } else {
  print "$item\n";
   }
   $i++;
}

The obvious problem with my solution is the links will also presumably 
have to be entered into an array, and I don't think the foreach 
construct can work on two arrays simultaneously, but you can use the $i 
variable as the index to your second array.

They array is simply not designed for you to use as if it were your

What you want to do is this:



You are changing $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['count'], but I'm betting the *GLOBAL*
variable $count is not changing, and *THAT* is what was registered, and
*THAT* is what gets save.  $count in the global name-space.

[PHP] Re: Please Help - getting a hightlight depending on selected page

[Martin Hughes]

OK here's the code in the page:






 Welcome

Home
Introduction
Changes & Cuts
Scores
Orchestra
Synthesizers
Sound System
Articles
21st Century Les
Misérables
Information
Discussion Forums






I am using this 1 page as the php 'template' with content added depending on
the url. For example, to go to the synthesizers page the url is:
index.php?sect=5&id=0&page=31

where sect=5 is the part that sets the menu highlight (the menu is alway the
same, hard-coded into the page - all I want to do is change the css id="sel"
from Home to Synthesizers.

Cheers

Martin

[PHP] Help alleviate the U.S. Nursing Shortage and Profit in the process

By the way, we have quietly announced our nursing recruitment plan in the web site.

It would seem like the nursing shortage here would be for years to come.

I was just thinking if we should have a strategy that goes beyond mere tactical 
recruitment but more toward seeding for the future ... e.g., scholarships for 
deserving nursing students? Can you imagine how many good, but possibly impoverished 
people we can help this way? Maybe we should ask Auntie Andy and Auntie Chata to come 
out of retirement and help through their school in Bulacan. What do you think?

[PHP] Question

[Gustavo Luis Pereira Verly]

Hello, I have the next problem and I don't know how can I have the solution:

I wan to read a socket output, and format the lines, but

first: Can I make some kind o "sizeof" in the buffer that I'm receiving?
That's because the read of the socket it's very slow; and if I read for
example 256 for the length of the packet, and the server send me just 117
characters (include spaces) what happened with the others 139 characters?? I
got another problem, because the second packet, must to have 117 character
as length, and the PHP, read part of the first packet (this 139) and part of
the second. and its very slow, and finish by timeout.

second: can I cut the lines when I found the \n between each one?

Thanks everybody

Gustavo

[PHP] Re: force download in IE -- conclusion

[David Minor]

I ran some tests of different header configurations of 6 browser/platform
combinations to find out what worked and what didn't.  I didn't cover all of
the platforms available, just those that my user-base uses, so this isn't
complete.  

combinations tested was IE5.5, NN4, NN6 for Windows 98 and IE5.5, NN4.7 for
Mac 9.1.  I tested all of these browsers using/not using 'attachment' in the
Content-Disposition header.  and also changed out the Content-Type header
with 'application/octet-stream', 'application/download', and '*/*'.

Here's the summary and what I did to make things work as well as possible.
My goal is to prompt the user with a save-as dialog for an mp3 file.

IE5.5 for Mac always uses the quicktime plugin to play the file no matter
what the disposition or type is.  (also no matter what the file extension
is.  Couldn't figure out how to trick it to download the file.)

IE5.5 for Win98 would attempt to download the file if ("content-disposition:
attachment; filename=") attachment was there.

All 3 of the Win98 browsers would do prompt with as few clicks as possible
when content-type was "application/octet-stream".  Therefore,  I test in my
script for the Mac users and give them "Content-type: application/downlaod"
while I give other users "Content-Type: application/octet-stream".  Of
course, this doesn't help the IE5.5 Mac users who still have to use
"Downlaod Link to Disk" routine to get a save-as prompt.

Anyone who sees different ways this could be done, please respond.

Here's my code:

if (eregi("mac",$HTTP_USER_AGENT))
   $type = "application/download";
else
   $type = "application/octet-stream";

// stream file to user
header("Content-Type: $type");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($tmp_file));
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
readfile($tmp_file);

[PHP] pointers in php

[Christian Zonsius]

Hi,

I have a problem with pointers in php.
In the following code the parent object should be a pointer to class Main
($this), but it's a copy ...

Any ideas ?
Thx Chris

parent = &$parent;

}

function Modify($text) {

$this->parent->B->text = $text;

}

}

class Sub_B {

var $text = "untouched";

// constructor

function Sub_B(&$parent) {

$this->parent = &$parent;

}

}

class Main {

// constructor

function Main() {

$this->A = new Sub_A($this);

$this->B = new Sub_B($this);

}


}

$test = new Main();

$test->A->Modify('test');

// this method should work, but doesnt (should return "test" instead of
"untouched")

echo $test->B->text."";

// parent isnt a pointer but a copy so absolute addressing works

echo $test->A->parent->B->text."";

?>

Re: [PHP] sessions and sessionfiles

[Jay Paulson]

in the php.ini you can set the garbbage collection higher than 1 but that
puts a bigger load on your computer... what garbage collection does is that
it goes through and deletes all the session files that have expired due to
the setting of the session.gc_maxlifetime.. so right now with the way you
have things set up is that 1 out of every 100 session requests php will go
though the session files and find the ones that are older than 1440 seconds
and delete them... if you set 1 to 100 then every time a session request is
made php will go and find all the files that are over 1440 seconds and
delete them.. as you can see that would be a huge load on your computer...
:) hope that helps!

[PHP] sessions and sessionfiles

[Danny]

Hi there,

well...I'm tired of searching so I'll drop a note here.
I've been busy working with php (4.0.6) sessions lately for an online
shopping cart, which works really great.
Only problem is, the temporary session-files are not removed after a certain
timeout occurs.
The "session.gc_maxlifetime"-variable is set to 1440 seconds, which means
the temporary session-files should be deleted after 24 minutes of inactivity
from the client side. Unfortunately, nothing of a kind happens.
A way around this problem is adding a cronjob which deletes session-files
older than say 3 or 4 hours or so.
I'd rather see a better solution...anyone?
And is there any information available on wether or not the error of not
deleting session-files has any consequences for newly created sessions?

Anyone out there, if you have a serious and professional solution, please
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks!

Happy php-ing! Danny.

RE: [PHP] strange error

Heya!

All adive given so far is good. You might also want to check for a

If you've got something like:
-


html 1

html2

You'll get an error in the last line, where the  resides.

Hope this is a helpin'

Try to post some code, particularity the lines that come just before line 
142.  A parse error usually means that something on the previous line is 
wrong, at least, that's been my experience.

You may have not put an enclosing '?>' at the end of your code, or you may
have missed a closing bracket or quotation mark somewhere.

I guess you haven't closed the , before your 
code.
Otherwise, the php parser will think that it's still parsing php code,
which results in an parse error.

[PHP] session_write_close()

[Gabor Gludovatz]

Hello,

I'm having problems with sessions. Since I use MySQL to store sessions, I
always have to call session_write_close() at the end of every page,
otherwise session variables don't get saved.

If I use PHP's built-in 'files' method to store session vars, then
everything works fine, I don't need to call session_write_close() and even
so the variables get saved and are restored correctly.

Is it a bug? Or is there something I don't know about?
