Hi. I use allways the include built in function to conditionally select the php script that build the web page.

[PHP] Really weird problem: cross-server databasing *g*
Hi folks! Let's say you have two servers, on the first one ("A") you have your website containig all those nice php scripts and co but only a crazy small database (2 megs), on the second one ("B") you have a really big database available but the problem, that the provider won't allow you to access the database from any other place than from your account on B. That wouldn't be the problem, but B opens pop ups each time, you open a website there - and that couldn't be the solution. Has anyone an idea how to access the database on B without opening a webpage there (and with this, without opening a popup) from server A? ANY help much appreciated!

[PHP] problem with ereg() and ereg_replace()
Hi, I have a strange problem with ereg() and ereg_replace(). I have a Linux RH 7.1 machine running apache and php4. On this server, if use ereg() or ereg_replace() with "{" or "}", for example, ereg_replace( "{key}", "word", $a_string); The web server will return following warnning msg: Warning: Invalid content of \{\} in /var/www/html/scrip.php on line # * # stand for the line number of ereg or ereg_replace. But I have used ereg/ereg_replace on many other php4 web servers without any problem. I guess this must has something to do with php configuration. I reviewed/compared phpinfo of my machine with other machines, couldn't find anything signaficant difference. Please, in these community, anyone can help me out. Thanks in advance!

[PHP] Re: loop? or conditional problem
Your SELECT statement is returning way more rows than you expect, I think, since it will return the number of users times the number of members minus however many there are that have the same id... I don't think you wanted that... I suspect you want a sub-select where you don't get any users who are members, or maybe no members who are users... MySQL *might* let you do: select ... from members where not id in (select id from users) OTOH, I don't really understand what you are trying to do in the first place, but I suspect there's a much easier way to do it... -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out?

Daniel, It doesn't get much easier than Philip Greenspun's "Loquacious" (http://www.greenspun.com/com/home.html). Philip begins the description of his free comment server thusly: "You have a Web server with static pages. You want users to be able to add comments dynamically to any of your pages. However, you don't want to turn all of your Web pages into computer programs. You don't want to sweat your way through all of Web Tools Review and learn how to run your own Relational Database Management System-backed Web site. You don't want to spend the rest of your life backing up and maintaining the relational database." Try it you'll like it. It's not PHP though (TCL likely). Best regards, Matthew A.

[PHP] potential preg_replace bug; unsure however
I built a Perl-style regex to match function calls in C-like languages where $name is the functions name. The functions are assumed to accept a single string as parameter. Here it is. /$name\s*\(\s*\"(.*)\"\s*\)\s*;/s The expression is successfully preg_match'ed on a stream of code, but when preg_replace is passed the same expression it does not return. The piece of code I tested this with was fairly small so that an increased demand of computation time is unlikely be the reason for this behaviour. Substituting the subexpression (.*) by ([^\"]*) remedies this. The version of the PHP install is 4.05. Any ideas? D.

Re: [PHP] $str[0] vs $str{0} was : generate random ascii string
Hi Philip, Yes, I have a choice of PHP3 or 4 and this script happened to be in PHP 3 so I just tweaked it. I didn't realize that one day $chars[mt_rand(0,$chars_len)] would "no longer work", but at least it is backwards compatible now. I've made a mental note of that for future reference. PHP 3 also barked at is_numeric() which I just changed to intval() I should really do better bounds checking. How about: $len=intval($len); if (!$len) $len=8; kind regards, bill Philip Olson wrote: > It appears the only change you made was : > > > $tmp .= $chars[mt_rand(0,$chars_len)]; > > >From : > > > > $tmp .= $chars{mt_rand(0,$chars_len)}; > > Which is strange. the [] use on strings has been depreciated in favor > of {} as of php4 but I don't know at what version {} came into being > exactly.

Here's what worked: function randomString($len) { global $seed; $tmp = ''; $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; $chars .= strtoupper($chars); $chars .= '0123456789'; if (empty($seed)) { mt_srand ((float) microtime() * 100); $seed = TRUE; } // weak error checking mechanism if ($len < 1 || !intval($len)) $len = 8; $chars_len = strlen($chars); for ($a=1; $a <= $len; $a++) { $tmp .= $chars[mt_rand(0,$chars_len)]; } return $tmp; } Philip Olson wrote: > Hi Bill, > > Here's a quick hack, should get you on your way : > > function randomString($len) > { > global $seed; > > $tmp = ''; > > $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; > $chars .= strtoupper($chars); > $chars .= '0123456789'; > > if (empty($seed)) { > mt_srand ((float) microtime() * 100); > $seed = TRUE; > } > > // weak error checking mechanism > if ($len < 1 || !is_numeric($len)) $len = 8; > > $chars_len = strlen($chars); > > for ($a=1; $a <= $len; $a++) { > $tmp .= $chars{mt_rand(0,$chars_len)}; > } > > return $tmp; > } > > That was fun :) > > Regards, > Philip Olson > > On Sat, 1 Sep 2001, bill wrote: > > > How can a random string of only letters and numbers be generated? > > > > I'm stumped so far on how to avoid including symbols. > > > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] generate random ascii string
Hi Bill, Here's a quick hack, should get you on your way : function randomString($len) { global $seed; $tmp = ''; $chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; $chars .= strtoupper($chars); $chars .= '0123456789'; if (empty($seed)) { mt_srand ((float) microtime() * 100); $seed = TRUE; } // weak error checking mechanism if ($len < 1 || !is_numeric($len)) $len = 8; $chars_len = strlen($chars); for ($a=1; $a <= $len; $a++) { $tmp .= $chars{mt_rand(0,$chars_len)}; } return $tmp; } That was fun :) Regards, Philip Olson On Sat, 1 Sep 2001, bill wrote: > How can a random string of only letters and numbers be generated? > > I'm stumped so far on how to avoid including symbols. > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] generate random ascii string
Hi, If you have random string including symbols just take them of with regexp. Look at the manual for regular expresion functions. Hope it helps. Sean C. McCarthy SCI, s.L.

The Directory of the particular user might be set different and therefore be the reason for the upload. 2. Max File Size. I'm assuming that you are trying the same file for all people, but if not then the one person that can upload might just be uploading a smaller file than the rest. Just a thought. You may want to use is_uploaded_file() and move_uploaded_file() if you are using PHP 4.0.2 or greater. hope this helps cheers, marc davenport -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Richard pointed out to me in a personal letter that anecdote may not be the right word here (thanks, Richard :).

Much can be done - we all know that. But: (1) Most of that requires either mucho $$ or heaps|truckloads|... of time. Rasmus certainly has neither and the zend people already spend their time doing the really important thing (improving the language). So such marketing campaigns have to come from other people. (2) American corporate culture (hmm, rhymes with "vulture"... :) listens to the players with the most money. MS, Sun, Oracle, ... So the only marketing plan that has a good chance to work is "Somehow make about 5 billion dollars within a year and burn half of it for glossy ads etc". I certainly won't do this... (3) http://php.net/usage.php Period. Marketing really isn't the most important thing to do :) Conclusion: PHP's future looks bright, everyone is working hard to make it even brighter, and we all can dance happily around on the flowery meadows (except when working of course :) -- Christian Reiniger LGDC Webmaster (http://lgdc.sunsite.dk/) Error 032: Recursion error - see error 032 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] loop? or conditional problem
Okay the the script is attached below. i am baffled at the problem. as you can see the script does a rather simplistic generation of passwords. it then writes them into two files. the problem is the first time i run (i am running it stand alone) it works fine and the result is two files with 32 entries (and the mysql entries are also correct). the second time i run it. i (there should be 44 new entries make one file with 76 entries and another with 44) however what i get is a file with 1233 entries and another with 1201. now i admit the code is not beautiful but my concern is more of what is causing this. i have checked the variables both $i and $rows appear fine. when i look at the text files what i see is it assigns the 44 entries and then repeats them. all i can figure is it is the conditional or whiel loop? why does it work perfect the first time?? members.id"); $rows= mysql_num_rows($results); if($rows != 0) { while($info = mysql_fetch_array($results)) { if($info[0] != 0) { $ids[] = $info[0]; $lnames[] = $info[1]; } } mysql_free_result($results); $i=0; while($i < $rows-1) { srand((double) microtime() * 100); $pass_letter_key = array_rand($letter); srand((double) microtime() * 100); $pass_num1 = mt_rand(0, 26); srand((double) microtime() * 100); $pass_num2 = mt_rand(100, 926); $strip = trim($lnames[$i]); $lower = strtolower($strip); $infochop = substr($lower, -5, 4); $username = $infochop.$pass_num2; $password = $pass_num1. $letter[$pass_letter_key].$pass_num2; $respass = mysql_query("SELECT password FROM users WHERE password='$password'"); $pass_row = mysql_num_rows($respass); if(!$pass_row) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO users(id, username,password) VALUES('$ids[$i]', '$username', '$password') "); $complete = fopen("complete.txt", "a+"); $input[] = $ids[$i]."\t".$username."\t".$password."\n"; fputs($complete, $input[$i]); fclose($complete); $i++; } mysql_free_result($respass); } } $new = implode("", $input); $newtxt = fopen("new.txt", "w"); fputs($newtxt, $new); fclose($newtxt); ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
