The Snoopy class would do this nicely.  http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/

That may be too complicated of class as you mentioned, but it's probably the
best solution for you, and once setup, your task will be very easy to do
with
this class.  I had a similar situation where I needed to do a simple form
post, and found some very basic code, but it slowed by app down so much it
had to be replaced eventually anyway.

[PHP] Complex session issue

2002-07-15 Thread Divyank Turakhia

I have a situation where I have one browser window open for lets say web
application 'x'. Now I want my user to goto application 'y' on the same
domain in a new browser window by passing the authentication information
from application 'x' to application 'y'. I obviously donot want my
session variables to be continued in application 'y'. But at the same
time I donot want to destroy the session of my application 'x'

Since they r in two COMPLETELY separate browser windows, both sessions
should logically be separate. But for some reason IE & netscape take a
new window in the same Instance.

Is there any way I can open a new browser instance, such that the same
session is not continued and a new session in created leaving the old
session as it is?

Or is there any other work around for the same?

[PHP] Re: PHP and Jigsaw

2002-07-15 Thread Richard Lynch

>With Jigsaw's debug facility Enabled, I get two lines on the page and the
>same two lines (without html tags of any sort) in "view source" display:
>X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.1

If these two lines are showing up in the BROWSER, then something is pretty
wrong...

They're supposed to be headers...

So something could be sending out a blank line or something before these,
somehow...

If they are just showing up in debugging output, and they *ARE* headers,
then PHP *IS* getting invoked, and then dying when it tries to execute your
code.

Try using *JUST* this in your PHP document:



It's pretty hard to screw up something that short, so you'll know the PHP is
valid :-)

And, if it works, you get a wonderfully long HTML document spewed out.  It's
so fun to type so little and get so much :-)

> fputs($fp, "--AaB03x--\n");

That looks quite reasonable, EXCEPT:

It's *POSSIBLE* that "Aa03x" will be *IN* the document...  I'd choose a
longer and more random boundary, and maybe even be 100% sure by using
something like this:

$myfile = file('/full/path/to/myFile.xml') or die("Could not open
myFile.xml");
$myfile = implode('', $myfile);
$boundary = md5(uniqid(''));
# Hey, the odds are one in a zillion, but why not?
while (strstr($myfile, $boundary)){
  $boundary = md5(uniqid(''));
}

And I think you need a different boundary for *EACH* part of the multipart
stuff...  But maybe that's just me thinking wrongly...

Other than that, I'm guessing that you *MIGHT* need to somehow "escape" the
contents of the data...

I dunno if browsers and web-servers expect that data to be uuencoded, or
base64 encoded, or anything like that... But if they do, and you don't do
that, well, it ain't gonna work.  PHP has the functions for doing it, I just
don't know if you need them or which one...

But you're definitely on the right track, and you're down to minutia at this
point.

Perhaps:

where posted = max(posted)

assuming no *TWO* are ever posted within the same second, which is a very
dangerous assumption for a busy site...

Can't you just pass in the ID of the actual header you want changed, instead
of only its parent?

Assuming there's not something more subtle going on...

My best rationalization is that Microsoft somehow thinks that the only valid
response to a POST is an HTML document...

Maybe try using Keep-Alive or whatever and sending out some HTML as well as
the PDF, just to see...

Or, just live with GET and move on with life :-)

Actually...

Is the *NAME* of the ACTION= file ending in .pdf?  If it's not, make it be
.pdf, and use ForceType to force PHP to parse it.

Perhaps IE is just upset that you told it to expect an HTML file with the
URL, but then sent a PDF.

I *THINK* ignore_user_abort() is only useful with some browsers...

Or, perhaps, it relies on Apache figuring out that the connection is dead,
and reporting back to PHP, and there's a fair amount of time-lag in that
process...

Or, perhaps, it never really worked very well...

All I now for sure is that I have this vague idea in my head that it's just
not something you can really rely on.

It's still convenient to kill lengthy processes, but not for
mission-critical knowledge of the HTTP status.

If you *NEED* to be sure, I think you're stuck with Java applet/servelet
setup, from what I hear.  (Strictly heresay.)

This is a case where doing echo as you go is not so good, because you can't

$output = '';

Disclaimer:
The following statements are based strictly on heresay:

I don't think the DOM in PHP lets you have any "hooks" for mal-formed XML.

It either is well-formed, or DOM pukes all over your pretty blue suede
shoes.

I think you may be better off writing a SAX parser-based XML algorithm.

You'll be able to deal with the idiosyncracies of your HTML-coders better,
and to recover with more flexibility from the errors.

I think DOM will give you a line number and column (character within the
line) number, and maybe even an XML error message.  But you won't be able to
convince it to just "accept" the HTML and move on with life as it is. 
You'll be forced to "fix" the HTML to match XML specs, which, like is just
wrong, since HTML isn't XML.

>i'm new and i'm trouble with this code :'( can U help me please ??

This would be much easier if you told us what was going wrong...

I'll point out the ones I see, but it's just a guessing game (not a very fun
guessing game).

>while ($cd_tbl = mysql_fetch_array ($result))
>{

>if(is_int("$cd_id") = TRUE)

This will never be TRUE...

"$cd_id" *FORCES* $cd_id to be a string.

And, actually, you want == here, not =
The = is used to store a value in something.
The == is used to test for equality

Since it comes from the database, $cd_id will probably always be a string
anyway...

You can't do this:

>echo "$cd_id";
  ^^^   ^   
^
  ||\   |   
|
PHP seesAnd  \  Way too confused by now...
this as the this  \
beginning   is the \
of a string.*END* of\
that This is junk...
string.

You want:

echo "$cd_id";

Or, since HTML accepts ' as well as ", so long as they are 'matched'

echo "$cd_id";

Or, if you only care about browsers working, and not some pie-in-the-sky W3C
proclamation of style:

echo "$cd_id";


You should, however, realize that many, many, many people will *NOT* have
Verdana font installed.
They will see that icky Times font.
You can list multiple fonts:

echo "$cd_id";

'Course, if you start putting spaces in the font, you *NEED* the quotes:

You may also want to tack \n at the end of every string, so when you do
"View Source" in your browser, you can see something intelligible.

echo "$cd_id\n";

[PHP] Re: is_null question

2002-07-15 Thread Richard Lynch

>It looks like I should be using is_null(), but I'm not sure how to use it,
>especially since all of this is embedded in a print statement.

Disclaimer:
is_null() is new-fangled, and while I assume it matches up with SQL NULL,
it's *POSSIBLE* that PHP's NULL is for something entirely different than SQL
NULL.  Read the docs.

>Instead of just printing Email: $row[1], I'd like to test whether it's null

>if (is_null($row[1])) print " " else print ("Email: $row[0]")

Several options are available.

In all cases, I've replaced the if/else with the trinary ? : operator.  Less
clunky.

$email = is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email;
# Didja know you could just hit TAB instead of that funky \t stuff?  Way
prettier, IMNSHO.
print("$email...");

print("" . is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email . "";

#echo will take as many arguments as you like.
echo "", is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email, "...";

Some of the listings at http://phpusergroups.org are nothing more than a
single person trying to form a group...

I would assume, then, that such additions are welcome, and more likely to be
effective in the long run than just posting here.

Not saying you shouldn't have posted, just that your odds will increase a
lot if you go "on record" permanently as desiring to form a User Group.

[PHP] Re: Multiple Tables -add, edit, delete

2002-07-15 Thread Richard Lynch

>Problem: How do I display all the tblCountriesOfOperation for one 
>tblContacts record SO THAT MULTIPLE COUNTRIES CAN BE ADDED OR DELETED FOR 
>THAT RECORD?

create table contacts(
  contact_id int(11) unsigned auto_increment unique not null primary key,
  name text
);

create table countries(
  country_code char(2) unique not null primary key,
  name text
);

create table contact_countries(
  contact_id int(11) unsigned,
  country_code char(2),
  unique key contact_country_key(contact_id, country_code)
);

This last table is a "lookup" table, or cross-join table, or ...

Lots of names for it.

Basic idea is to just have a running list of contacts and countries "matched
up" by their IDs.

Sample Data:
insert into contacts(name) values('Rasmus Lerdorf');
insert into contacts(name) values('Ze\'ev Suraski');
insert into contacts(name) values('Andi Gutman);

insert into countries(country_code, name) values('US', 'United States');
insert into countries(country_code, name) values('CA', 'Canada');
insert into countries(country_code, name) values('IL', 'Israel');

insert into contact_countries(1, 'US'); # I think Rasmus is still in Silicon
Valley somewhere
insert into contact_countries(1, 'CA'); # But he used to work in Canada
insert into contact_countries(2, 'US'); # Zeev and Andi are mostly in
Israel, but
insert into contact_countries(2, 'IL'); # but come to the US for conferences
frequently.
insert into contact_countries(3, 'US');
insert into contact_countries(3, 'IL');

The above assumes that your table was empty, so Rasmus is 1, Ze'ev is 2, and
Andi is 3...

This "middle" table, contact_countries, lets you associate as many, or as
few, people with countries as you need.

The display code could be something like this:

 METHOD=POST>
$name\n\n";
  
  # Now to display current country selections:
  
  # Crucial:  ' order by name ' lets me run through $contact_countries and
$countries "in parallel"
  $query = "select countries.country_code from contact_countries, countries
";
  $query .= " where contact_id = $contact_id ";
  $query .= "   and countries.country_code = contact_countries.country_code
";
  $query .= " order by name ";
  $contact_countries = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
  
  $query = "select country_code, name from countries order by name ";
  $all_countries = mysql_query($query) or error_log(mysql_error());
  
  $contact_country_row = 0;
  while (list($code, $name) = mysql_fetch_row($all_countries)){
if ($code == mysql_result($contact_countries, 0, 0)){
  $selected = 'SELECTED';
  $contact_country_row++;
}
else{
  $selected = '';
}
echo "
$name\n";
  }
?>
  


This code is untested, but should be okay other than typos...

I hate to say it, but the easiest way to maintain this might just be to

it'll be bloated and crappy HTML, but it'll load into a browser. Then,
when she needs to update it, she just updates the word document, and
resaves it as HTML format in the web root...

You could use mktime() with date, too...

AT seemed flaky when I tried to use it. You can use the Program
Scheduler and have it open up IE with an address. The command line would
be something like 

C:\whatever\path\iexplore.exe http://www.yourpage.com/script.php

And somewhere in the config you can tell it to "End this program after X
minutes". Set that at whatever and IE will shutdown after that many
minutes. Seems to work well if you can't get AT working...

I've written a script that edits a specific line in a text file and saves
the changes to the file for that specific line. I've noticed though that I
can't edit the first line in the file, which would be zero in the array
created by the file() function. When I write the edited data back to the
file I am using "w+" as the mode.

Is this related to the array or to the file mode?

[PHP] PHP and Jigsaw

2002-07-15 Thread Murray Nicholas

I've been trying to get a simple php page to produce any output through a
Jigsaw server.

I've got past the problem of cgi.redirect and now my server launches php and
returns a "page" but it's blank.  There is no evidence of my html or php
code having been seen by the server.  I've run the php script from the
command line and I get the html code I'd expect.

With Jigsaw's debug facility DISabled for the cgi scripts I get the
following html served to the browser:








which produces a totally empty, white page.

With Jigsaw's debug facility Enabled, I get two lines on the page and the
same two lines (without html tags of any sort) in "view source" display:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.1
Content-type: text/html


At this point, my php script file contains only php commands - no html.

Any clues?

Re: [PHP] Apache 2.0 + PHP

2002-07-15 Thread Gerard Samuel

I dont think Apache 2 or php 4.3.x are meant for production boxes..
My opinion, the latest verion of apache 1.3.x and php 4.1.2 (my test box 
is 4.2.1 but thats ok)

Re: [PHP] Date () Help please

2002-07-15 Thread Richard Baskett

$today = date("w"); // $today will result in '1'
$today = date("D"); // $today will result in 'Mon'
$today = date("l"); // $today will result in 'Monday'

Now if you wanted to feed the script something like this:

$string = "01 Jul 2002";
$today = date("l",strtotime($string));

This will result in the long textual day of '01 Jul 2002', so 'Monday' or if
you interchange the "l" in the first part of the date function with "w" you
will get the the day of the week, numeric, i.e. "0" (Sunday) to "6"
(Saturday) or if you use "D" you will get the short textual day so 'Mon'

I hope all of that makes sense to you.  Check out the php manual for the
function date and strtotime.

http://www.php.net/strtotime

[PHP] Date () Help please

2002-07-15 Thread Attila

Hello all,
I am very new to PHP and I have added some minor PHP to my website.  I
would like to make a PHP calander to keep track of things going on.  Could
someone tell me how I can get the first day of every month.

For Example:
01 Jul 2002 was a Monday.
01 Mar 2002 will be a Thursday

I need the dates to start my tables so they insert the numbers in the right
day.

Thanks,
Attila

This _could_ be happening because you're viewing the data using different
systems and software.  Each has it's own character sets.  This could throw
things off, making the output LOOK different, even when it's the same.

The website could be running PHP as an Apache module (or some other 
binary) while the command line uses a standalone binary.  They could be 
using different php.ini files.  They could be different versions.

Re: [PHP] Online Document

2002-07-15 Thread Kevin Stone

I would recommend applying a simple templating system to the file.  Anything
that needs to be extracted out of the page for navigation purposes will be
enclosed in special characters such as a chapter title.. [:chapter =
"CHAPTER 2: Beating a Dead Horse":].  A very simple script parses the file
and extracts these strings to build an interactive Table of Contents.

[PHP] Multi-Part PostToHost?

2002-07-15 Thread Steve Keller

First, thanks to the people who've helped me so far.

I'm a UI designer who's suddenly found himself responsible for a very large
website that integrates services from no less than four different providers,
and I've been dumped into learning PHP on my own under a heavy deadline.

Anyway, I'm catching data from a form post and writing an XML document out
of it. That's done, the server can process the XML correctly. But, from
there, I need that file to be appended to a POST to a script on another
server for processing. I've tried looking up how this is accomplished, and
Richard Lynch was kind enough to point me in the direction of PostToHost,
which got me off to a jump start on how to find more information.

So now I'm at a point where I need help.

After opening the socket, can I declare a multi-part POST and then start
sending the data? Such as:

fputs($fp, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x\n");
fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="variable1"\n");
fputs($fp, "\n");
fputs($fp, "Variable 1 Data\n");
fputs($fp, "--AaB03x\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="files";
filename="myFile.xml"\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-Type: text/plain\n");
fputs($fp, "\n");
fputs($fp, "... contents of myFile.xml ...\n");
fputs($fp, "--AaB03x--\n");

And again, I've only been doing PHP a week, so if I'm following a totally
wrong track here, feel free to smack me around.



As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

~Steve-o

We are currently looking to put a very sizable document on a website so

single user in a MS Word format.  Ideally it would be very nice if the
index would take the user to the index of the appropriate section of the

Your code runs fine on my freebsd box running php 4.2.1 and apache.  I'd try changing 
the header into an echo, and see what you're sending to the browser.  Are you meaning 
to only set the session var one time?  You only set it when it's not set, so if you 
change the value of $_POST['download', the session var will still hold the first name.

RE: [PHP] newbie: mysql statement

2002-07-15 Thread Vail, Warren

I like this form better but it's not clear to me if this would only update
the row for parent='$this->parent' if it were the last row "posted" to the
table.  Depends on whether the max function in the where clause is bound to
the max in the table or the max in the sequence set (I tend to think it
might be max in the table).

"UPDATE header SET parent='$this->parent' WHERE posted = max(posted)"

Otherwise the max(posted) = max(posted) is true for all records (therefore
all records get updated)

RE: [PHP] newbie: mysql statement

2002-07-15 Thread Vail, Warren

If you could retrieve the max(posted) prior to doing the update you could;

SELECT max(posted) from header
WHERE parent = '$this->postid'

and substitute the value in the following query;

Update header SET parent='$this->parent'
WHERE parent = '$this->postid'
AND posted = $retrieved_posted

A subselect would work great here by not in MySQL.

Re: [PHP] newbie: mysql statement

2002-07-15 Thread Martin Clifford

I would rewrite the query as:

"UPDATE header SET parent='$this->parent' WHERE max(posted) = max(posted)"

I would think this to work, though I don't have the facilities to test it, and have 
never needed to do a query such as this.  In theory, it should update ONLY the row 
where the maximum value of the posted column equals itself, thereby being the latest 
date.  Just an idea.

Oops, looks like I missed your Set after the ORDER BY.  I've never seen it
there, usually I see it immediately after the update.  Seem to me some
things in SQL are positional, but could be wrong here.

By using a where clause to identify the postid in the table, something 
like this perhaps:

UPDATE header SET parent='$this->parent' where postid='$this->postid';

RE: [PHP] newbie: mysql statement

2002-07-15 Thread Vail, Warren

not only that, but you seem to be missing any SET field = value to cause
updates to occur.  I suspect the reason that the ORDER BY is rejected is be
cause the database wants to use an index determined from your where clause
to optimize the update process.  Keep in mind that no rows are returned to
you from an update (which is where the ORDER BY is important).

You can do it 2 ways: either using the sockets or with the IMAP functions. I'm
not too sure about sockets, but the IMAP function require the IMAP module to be
loaded.

> - how is it possible to run a php script periodicly?

Depends on your OS. If you're on Linux or similar then use cron. If you're on
Windows NT/2k, use AT. If you're on Windows 9x IIRC there is a scheduler in the
control panel.

There are 2 ways to run PHP scripts from the command line. The first (and my
personal choice since it's cleaner) is to install the CGI version of PHP. The
second is to use something like lynx or wget to run the script via the standard
http interface in which case you need to consider the security aspects of this
carefully.

> - can you mak a short example how to read from a nntp server?

I tries the following:

RE: [PHP] Alley-OOP! ... or not?

2002-07-15 Thread Cal Evans

Building off of what Jay said...

I'm a hardcore OOP developer but agree that you must use it judiciously.
Used in the correct way it makes maintaining/extending your applications
much easier.  There are times though when you don't want it.

I usually find myself coding pages that have PHP in them.  However, whenever
I can abstract a task from the page and move it into an object that can be
reused, I do.  ALMOST ALL of my database interaction goes through objects.
(I do some quickies where I'll code a mysql_query line in the page, but not
often.)

If it is a discrete task (database interaction) or an abstraction of a
physical object (Person, Invoice, Order) then I use object.  The code in the

Hey all,

I've seen quite a few programs that seem to greatly favor Object Orienting
Programming (OOP) in their code.  I don't mean to start a holy war or
anything of the sort, but as a burgeoning PHP developer, I would like the
opinions of my peers.

So how about it, ladies and gents?  Tell me about the Pros and Cons to OOP,

Personally, I've always used regular functions to accomplish my repetetive
tasks, and OOP seems rather daunting for me, but I'm always open to new (and
hopefully, more efficient) ideas!  Thanks!

ok sounds logical. Don't have any experiance on doing anything nntp related
in php.

There are some questions I am wondering about:

- do I have to compile php with a special flag to do this?
- how is it possible to run a php script periodicly?
- can you mak a short example how to read from a nntp server?

Thanx for your help,

Andy

OOP, selectively (emphasis on that) used in PHP can yield untold benefits,
depending on the application. I have found it very handy to create classes
that can be used with a myriad of processes. I use classes for customer and
other objects within our business that can be readily defined. Saves a ton
of coding when something new comes up. If need be new modules or
applications can derive the customer class as it is going to be used.

I have seen folks report that PHP OOP is slow, bullcocka...with today's
processors it is not noticeable (unless your OOP style is bad). Also, PHP
OOP is not true OOP, it lacks some of the rules needed to make it so. Again,
when used selectively I have found it to be a bonus rather than a
hinderance.

Why not try it for yourself?  If it seems helpful then use it, if not then
don't.

[PHP] Detecting network connections

2002-07-15 Thread Brad Harriger

Is there any way I can set up a php script so that it will detect the 
login of the current Netware user on a PC and use that user's 
information to customize a greeting for the user?

Thanks,

Think about the datamodel for a usenet post. Each has a unique id and from there you 
are good to go. 

http://www.workbrazil.com/admin/kb.php

That's a copy of a site I'm working on. I happen to use a Perl script that is run by 
cron and connects to a few newsgroups and uses filters to 
select messages (essentially email) and store them in a mysql table. That script could 
easily be written in PHP I guess.  So you get the 
message and you re-arrange to fit the datamodel of your database and insert it.

About the copyrights. I looked into this a bit and I'm not lawyer but I found nothing 
that said what I was doing would be wrong. I certainly reject 
any copyrighted material which is often posted but all that guy seems to be doing is 
to be reposting. In my case I'm actually culling  data to 
repurpose and if I use chunks of posts from someone I give them credit.

Here is the table I use to store data. I did this quickly and need to pare this down 
to the essentials.
