Thank you very much...
This worked:
$message = ${$this-func_name($string)};
and, this worked: (I am going to stick with this)
$message = ${$this-func_name}($string);
However, this did NOT work:
$message = ${$this}-func_name($string);
Lesson learned: I need to enclose the function name
variable in curly braces.
Thanks.

That is strange. Just for kicks, try using curly
braces to make the
statement less ambiguous. Is the variable part just
the object name, or is
it the entire method? See if it works like this:
$message = ${$this}-func_name($string);
or like this:
$message = ${$this-func_name($string)};
Depending on which one you mean.

[PHP] How to build PHP on LINUX with GD?
Hi there, Can it be that complicated to build php with gdlib2 on linux? I thought the gd2 is included in php4.1.1 so just telling php at buildtime to include it. But this is generating errors. So I did download gdlib from boutel, compiled it and tryed to configure php prior build. This does not work. It is never finding the gdlib.so in that library.

[PHP] Duplicate e-mails
I've a php script that gets e-mail addresses from a MySQL database and then sends the same e-mail message to about 100+ addressees. There are no duplicate addresses in the db. When I call the script the e-mails do get send but in duplicate and, instead of linking to a Task Done page, it shows url not found. There is no duplication within the script and the url called is there in the same folder as the script. Is there a problem with php's mail function when it's used for multiple messages? Or is there a processing time limit that makes the script to be processed twice? Scripts are run using Apache under Unix. Thank you! Anthony F.

Re: [PHP] exec on Windows
Scott, I am trying to develop a music scheduling system on Windows using the command line to fire off WinAMP. The first exec works fine, then it stops and says that program execution time has been exceeded. An example would be: exec (winamp.exe M01.mp3); a while loop kicks off the second. I tried to send the output to null winamp.exe null or nul and no luck. Anyone else try this on Windows? Sounds interesting. I take it that it is the PHP script that stops (not the winamp player)!? Looks like you are running into problems with the script execution time limit. Herewith a couple of theories: 1 what happens if you specify that the winamp is to run in its own cmd shell - will control return to PHP 'immediately'? 2 if the problem is time-out, and you can only play one .mp3 at a time, so looping to 'the next' must be dependent upon the preceding track finishing first, what happens if you adjust the set_time_limit to 0/no limit?

- One blank line between variable declarations / inclusions:
?php
$a = don't know;
function do_stuff() {
global $a;
// use $a;
}
?
You should also have a look at the operator precedence (this can
be really annoying, but it saves you brackets - thus resulting in
cleaner code).
Its also always a good idea to comment your code (yes, that's
annoying, too, but saves you _much_ time when resuming your
work after a longer interruption / when working in a team). My
suggestions for comments are as follows:
?php
/*
* Caption of a larger section or a function
*/
function do_stuff() {
echo Now, this does stuff...;
}
?
?php
/* Multi-line comment to explain why you do certain things the
way you do them, if this belongs to a function call, then nicely
arrange it to 80 chars on the right, otherwise leave it
left-aligned
to the indentation.
*/
do_stuff();
do_more_stuff();
?
?php
// One line comment as the caption of a small code block
// that doesn't need comments in each line;
do_stuff();
do_more_stuff();
?
?php
do_stuff(); // Longest comment right-aligned to 80
chars |||
do_more_stuff();// But: // should be in one column.
?
Ok, sorry for this mega-posting, hope it helps.
P.S.: Your code _always_ works? -Wow...

RE: [PHP] Sessions that last for ever
Actually, sites that remember you don't typically keep the same session around. They send a separate cookie that contains just userid information and when you return, they just set the session variables in such a way based off of the userid cookie. If you really want to keep the same session around, just use the function 'session_set_cookie_params()' and set the lifetime to be some huge number, or use the session.cookie_lifetime setting in php.ini.

HI,
I was reading the docs and I see this:
/* This is how it should be done. */
class Cart
{
var $todays_date;
var $name;
var $owner;
var $items;
function Cart()
{
$this-todays_date = date(Y-m-d);
$this-name = $GLOBALS['firstname'];
/* etc. . . */
}
I don't see the point in doing
var $todays_date;
and
$this-todays_date = date(Y-m-d);
The latter works without the need for the var. Why should i use
var?

RE: [PHP] Polymorphism question
A bit late in replying - but what the hay (or is that hey??) oh well...
From my understanding of virtual functions (and it's been at least 3 to 4

functionality and a pure virtual function has no, and can't have, and
code.
Please correct me if I'm wrong

I've also done C and C++ since the 80's.
My experience with virtual, is that there is no base implementation for a
function. Rather, the function is expected to be defined in the derived
class.
The inheritance you describe would have a base implementation (no virtual
declaration), which could be over-ridden in the derived class.
Yes, PHP does have the latter capability.

I am new to PHP but 10 years in C++
One of the cool/powerful things you can do in C++ is the following:
class DrawPlainDialog {
public:
...
virtual Draw(); // implementation draws a vanilla dialog box
};
class DrawStyleDialog : public DrawPlainDialog {
public:
...
virtual Draw(); // implementation draws better dialog
};
Somewhere in my code I have a function like:
void ShowGUI( DrawPlainDialog dd ) {
dd.Draw();
}
ShowGUI can be called with any object that is derived from DrawPlainDialog,
obviously. Only code that calls ShowGUI must be changed when a new
implementation of DrawPlainDialog is used. This feature of C++ to have a
base class pointer (or reference) be able to access derived class
functionality is not something I've seen in any PHP documentation. Does it
exist, and if not is there a workaround for this highly desirable feature?
TIA

It is for example very useful to track different users at the same time, or to send messages from one session to another, or the likes.

I have part of the error on the new page working but I'm running into the infamous no contents in the form after going back. There are some useability issues with forcing the user to hit the back button -- some just don't want to bother. Is there a way to display the form w/original contents and error messages 'without' having to code the entire form twice? I have about 5 forms with 50 fields or so each.

I guess knowledge and imagination doesn't count as tools. I could be wrong. I've been developing websites for the last 7 years. I still use TextPad (coupled with Perl, and UNIX/LINUX) yet I develop on a windoze platform with cygwin installed. I'd suggest using Perl to improve your productivity which I assume is the real question at hand. Will Zend make your more productive than homesite? Now I may be completely wrong. It's just that I've worked with people who use these GUI centric tools and they spend half their time in the air, waiting for their hand to move to and from mouse to keyboard. Learn Perl, not to write cgi (god forbid, even I prefer PHP for this) or necessarily for mod_perl (very good) but just to generate code for yourself. Perl is an excellent tool but you can't get it with a GUI. You use text editors for which there is keyboard command for 99% of the actions you do. If you already KNOW PHP then Perl will be simple.

Subject: Re: [PHP] form submission error trapping
Jason,
I just finished one of my form pages, and I'm really happy with how it
turned out.
I created one php page that both displays the form and validates the
input. When the user hits the submit button, it submits the data to
itself. If anything is missing from the page, the form is reshown with
missing fields highlighted and the other fields filled in. If on the
other hand the info passes the validation test, the information is shown
to screen a new button (hidden form) allows the user to continue.
If you want, I can send you a link to my test site so you can check it
out.

Re: [PHP] form submission error trapping
I guess the real challenge is converting a pre-existing page like the
one I've described into one that can re-populate itself on an error
condition. Building it that way from scratch is merely a programming
task.
That's true, however there are a few ways to cheat :). For example, in
my form I have a State and Country popup menu. Rather than trying to
write code that selects the proper one to match the post data, I simply
create a new entry at the top:
select name=state
?
if(isset($state)) {
$statename = GetStateName($state);
echo option selected value='$state'$statename;
}
?
option value=Select a state
option value=ALAlabama
This works because I've already verified the data. If the data doesn't
pass verification, it would be reset and would fail the isset($state)
test.
Otherwise, most form elements are pretty easy to assign values to.

Re: [PHP] zend studio 2.0
Well I was hoping that article was interesting. It wasn't. I should have known when I saw the use of homesite as an alternative. sure, it was just simple look at zend studio, but it made me wonder why the tool didn`t work on my system :) [yes - i think i know what was wrong, no need to look for bugs in zs2.0 :)] The article had this one interesting line: Like many open-source languages, the biggest problem with PHP up until recently has been a lack of tools. I guess knowledge and imagination doesn't count as tools. debugger integrated with IDE does... I could be wrong. I've been developing websites for the last 7 years. I still use TextPad (coupled with Perl, and UNIX/LINUX) yet I develop on a windoze platform with cygwin installed. what i need from my editor is: - debugger - color coding - syntax check, just to spare time waiting for page showing that i forgot ')' in code I'd suggest using Perl to improve your productivity which I assume is the real question at hand. hmmmlet`s say i prefer php. Will Zend make your more productive than homesite? maybe...that`s what i want to know. Now I may be completely wrong. It's just that I've worked with people who use these GUI centric tools and they spend half their time in the air, waiting for their hand to move to and from mouse to keyboard. i don`t want to have delphi-like ide, i want just a nice debugger with basic options. Learn Perl, not to write cgi (god forbid, even I prefer PHP for this) or necessarily for mod_perl (very good) but just to generate code for yourself. Perl is an excellent tool but you can't get it with a GUI. You use text editors for which there is keyboard command for 99% of the actions you do. If you already KNOW PHP then Perl will be simple. i wrote few scripts in perl, i know it exists, i know i can use it if i must, but, for now, i use php. rash -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] form opens a php window.

Re: [PHP] zend studio 2.0
I hope we aren't going to get another chest-pounding real coders type of argument going here. Homesite *IS* a text editor. It provides an amazing number of shortcuts to tasks, including mouse-based tasks, many of which I guarantee you I can get done faster with a mouse than anyone can typing. It also offers a lot of pseudo-time-saving features as well, for which one would be better of learning to do it manually. But it isn't a GUI in any real sense as, say, Dreamweaver is. TextPad is at least as much of a GUI as Homesite in that respect. I use both of these great tools a lot... none of them are the stigmata of the under-developed programmer. People should use what they want, but don't dump on everyone who realizes that clicking a button or using a keyboard shortcut in something like Homesite or Textpad to create common HTML structures or PHP control structures is always going to be faster than typing them out by hand, no matter how craven a Notepad warrior one might be. Zend looks pretty good in terms of providing what I like in a development environment, particularly real debugging... unfortunately it was definitely not particularly stable when I last tried it in late December. Integrated debugging, syntax coloring, function reference, keyboard shortcuts-- these are all useful tools. TextPad has good PHP dictionaries, Homesite handles PHP well. Homesite is STILL the only editor I have found that enables an easy preview through the server mapping so that I can, with one touch toggle between my editing and the live code through my local development server, something that saves a lot of time vs jockeying between windows with other tools. Not all mouse use is just waving one's hands through the air, none of the programs mentioned are particularly mouse-centric. c -- Chris Lott http://www.chrislott.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] session password problems.

is encrypted with the mysql password('$password') function.
This is my PHP authorise section of the script.
$sql_authorisation = SELECT * FROM account_details WHERE
account_name='$login_username' AND
account_password=PASSWORD('$login_password');
$sql_authorisation_result = mysql_query($sql_authorisation);

This script does NOT work.
However if I change the sql function $sql_authorisation to

so that is only selects the username - it works. there for there is a
problem with me selecting and comparing the password'd user_password.
Any suggestions.
You have to use the query with mysql_num_rows(), not the result of the
query, try:
if (mysql_num_rows($sql_authorisation) == 0) {
And it woudl be better to test for a single row, not the fact that no rows
returned. I would use:
if (mysql_num_rows($sql_authorisation) == 1) {
$user_array = mysql_fetch_array($sql_authorisation_result);
$login_username = $user_array[account_name];
session_register(login_username);

Re: [PHP] zend studio 2.0
Well, as you said, no point in arguing. Just that I think if someone really wants to develop they should learn some better tools than a GUI but it's a question of balance. I think a definition of GUI might be in order. Homesite, for instance, is just a big text editor. It has almost no GUI design features, drag and drop coding, that kind of thing. I think of a GUI as Dreamweaver, or something where you are not using the code directly. Homesite and the Zend Studio are both code editors that provide the same kind of features as TextPad with PHP libraries, clip books and syntax coloring files. Emacs, which I use a lot, is in the same class (not GUI, I don't think). I agree that with GUIs, by my definition at least, one should learn on tools in which they are really working with the code. If they can insert the skeleton of a control structure with one click or not doesn't impact their development (either of themselves or their program) negatively. c -- Chris Lott http://www.chrislott.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi All, I have seen a lot of discussion about this - but no real solutions :) I am getting a two task communication error whenever I try to select a varchar2 element in a query in php4. I seem to be able to select any other kinds of data without hassle. All of my environment variables are set correctly, and I have experimented at length with different NLS_LANG values. The client machine is Mandrake Linux, running php 4.1.1 with oracle and oci8 support compiled in. SQL*Net is able to query the remote db server without any problems at all. Has *anyone* got any experience with Oracle9i and PHP that might be able to help? I would rather use MySQL in a heartbeat, but Oracle9i is a client requirement.

[PHP] help with Header call
Hello everyone,
This is my first post to this list, so I hope that someone is awake enough to help me
out.
I am new to PHP and I have a file that uses a command header. It isn't working like
it is supposed to but I can't seem to figure out why. Below is the last couple lines
of the php file that is giving me trouble.
while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$II=$row[0];
}
Header(Location: $Relative/admin/upload.php?II=$II);
Basically all it does when the whole file is called is return page does not exist. The
file that it refers to is there and the Var $Relative is used in many other scripts
with no probs so I don't think that is it. Is passing the Var $II as part of the
location incorrect?
Any help is welcomed.
If you need to see more of the script to understand what I am talking about, I will
post it.

Re: [PHP] Include file for MySQL insert rows
INCLUDE is not really what you are looking for. INCLUDE is more to read in
files that contain PHP code. If I'm understanding correctly, what you want
to do is to read each line from your file and put each line into a separate
variable. Then, you can create the INSERT statement for each row.
It might go something like this:
$fp = fopen(testsql,r) ;
while ($row = fgets($fp,1024))
{
$query = INSERT INTO catalogwinetmp VALUES $row;
$result = mysql_query($query);
}
It looks like there might be something at the end of each line that you need
to remove before you construct the query. A comma on the first line and a
semicolon on the second line.

Just with more lines (1-18).
But I can not get rid of errors in the

RE: [PHP] form submission error trapping
Simply, to send a form to itself, you can use a special variable called
$PHP_SELF. Here's an example of how to use it:
if ($somevalue) {
header(Location: $PHP_SELF);
} else {
execute some other code...
}
Here, if $somevalue holds true, it will call itself and reload the same
script/file. This code is not very useful at all, but it gets the point
across. If you wanted to pass GET variables to this, then you could
easily say:
header(Location: $PHP_SELF?var=valuevar2=value2var3=value3);
...and so on. You can also use this approach with Sessions if you wanted
to turn the values back over to the form page, assuming you had two
pages: one for the form, and one for form checking and entry into a
database. There are several ways to check forms, whether you want it on
one page or span it out to several pages. You just need to be creative
in what tools are avaiable to you. Here is an example of how you can
pass session values:
header(Location: some_file.php??=SID?);
Here, whatever variables you've registered in session_register() will be
passed to the php page you specify, in this case some_file.php. Hope
this helps. Have fun, and happy coding. :)

Would someone please help? I have looked everywhere and can not find

I am trying to get this to update at midnight instead of every time

do what I need?
I don't know how to run php code as a freestanding executable but it can be
done. For cron, heck, I never remember the syntax either and my gui is no
help so I always go this page that my host put up:
http://www.viaverio.com/support/virtual/admin/unix/cron.cfm
Rule is not to run anything at a give time.
So the following should probably at set to a different time. See above link
for breakdown of fields (what they mean etc.).
Be sure that the time you think it is is actually the time it will run. My
server for instance runs on GMT not my CST or even the EST where the
server is located.
# Execute the vnukelog command at 12:00 midnight (0 0) on August 19
# (8) (aug).
0 0 19 8 * /usr/local/bin/vnukelog
You can always do a man cron to see info for your system.
Any hosting company worth anything will help you with at least once.
I'm not sure where STDOUT goes, I always have it sent to me via email by
putting my email at the top of the cronfile (see above url of info on that).
You seem to be printing to STDOUT in the PHP snippet you sent.
I think you only want to do the update in your PHP script. I'm sure
someone will show you how to do this via PHP, I don't know, I use Perl for
this stuff. Here's how I'd do it in Perl (MyDBI is a private module).
I suggest you check to make sure that your cron job runs properly (you'll be
suprised at the number of times something happens where it doesn't).
use strict;
use MyDBI;
eval {
my $dbh = MyDBI-new(
data_source = 'dbi:mysql:database=x;host=x',
username= '',
password= ''',
);
my $sql = SELECT Subject,body,article_id,Born FROM news WHERE
visibility is NULL ORDER BY article_id LIMIT 500;
my $sth = $dbh-{dbh}-prepare($sql);

Re: [PHP] How to start a secure HTTP session?
To have a secure HTTP session, you must be communicating with a secure web server. This is apache. It has nothing to do with PHP or Linux. You classmate was right. The only difference for SSL is that you use https instead of http. To find out if your server can communicate using SSL, try it. If you try to access a web page using https and the server is not a secure server, you will get an error message. Page connot be displayed. If you are using Apache and you installed it yourself, if you did not do extra stuff to make it SSL, then it is not. For more info, go to main apache web site, www.apache.org, and follow links to apache-ssl and mod_ssl.

A) Have you already confirmed that a valid database connection was made?
B) String values in mysql have to be quoted. For example, where
foo='bar' or where foo like 'bar%'.
C) Error checking on database operations is a really good idea. Even just
a short or die() on the mysql_* calls can help you track down problems
much more effectively. For example:
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(MySQL reports error: . mysql_error() .

Subject: [PHP] phpmyadmin-mysql
Hello,
I'm looking for code to display all my mysql databases in a select.
On change, I want to display all my tables in a select.
Finally, on change, it has to display all record of the table selected:
Print Record
id YR AU BT
1 1997 Fee, Margery Writing Orality: Interpreting Literature
Display in English by Aboriginal Writers in North
America, Australia and New Zealand
Can someone give me a hand getting started?
I would normally use phpmyadmin, but I want to customise something they
don't offer.
