Basically, you don't.

Instead, what you do is use the password that was provided as user
input.  You create a suitable database query where one of the select
criteria is PASSWORD(user_input_password) - then if you get a match they
must have entered the right password.

[PHP] Re: MySQL password()

[Lars Olsson]

To my knowledge it isn't possible to "decrypt" the PASSWORD function in 
MySQL (you need to use MySQL ENCRYPT/DECRYPT for that). However, it's 
possible to use PASSWORD on the user-provided string too. You could try 
the following code:

$query="SELECT * FROM users where username='$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND 
passwd=PASSWORD('$PHP_AUTH_PW');

$result = mysql_query($query)
   or die("Couldn't execute query!");

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
   // user exists
}
else {
   // user don't exist
}

Kindly

[PHP] php extension problem

[p . williams]

We've successfully installed and run PHP 4.0.6. However when we add an
extension for win9x printing we get the message "PHP Warning: Unable to load
dynamic library 'c:\php\extensions/php_printer.dll' a device attached to the
system is not functioning".

The php.ini file has extension_dir=c:\php\extensions and includes the
statement extension=php_printer.dll

Any ideas would be most welcome!

[PHP] Re: ORDER BY from 2 tables

[Paul Dionne]

I am not sure what exactly you mean.  If you are talking about a regular 
query then:
SELECT tblTable1.hits, tblTable2.hits FROM tblTable1, tblTable2 ORDER BY 
tblTable1.hits;

If you are talking about combining the two tables so that all your 'hits' 
are in one column then there are a few ways to skin that cute little 
kitten (in order of difficulty):
1) Check to see if your databae supports UNION clauses. 
2) If not, make a table with the data from the first table then append the 
data from the second table.  Then query for your combined results and 
delete the table from the database.  You may run into problems if more than 
one person tries to do this at a time, so be careful.
3) Or. create an array using data from the first set then loop through the 
second set adding the data from the second set.  Then sort.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Paul

[David Freeman]

I suspect that if your table, as you use it, needs this ordering then
you've got something wrong.  It really shouldn't matter much what the
internal IDs are.

When you extract the data you'll be ordering it by some means that may
or may not include the ID ie. You might sort by date or some other field
in the table, in which case, the ID's are irrelevant - particularly if
you're doing a select that excludes some of the data anyway.

If you seriously need all your id's to be sequential and have no gaps
then I suspect that about the only way you'll achieve it is probably to
drop the contents and enter the information all over again.  Of course,
then you'll need to do the same again if you delete any information from
the table and so on and so on...

There may well be other ways, I've not really looked as I tend to think
a reliance of this sort is counter-productive so I've never needed to
look.

Save all the entries somewhere programmatically,

[PHP] MySQL password()

[Liam MacKenzie]

Hi all,
I do this:


 dbconnect();
  $query="SELECT * FROM users where username='$PHP_AUTH_USER'";
  $result=mysql_query($query);
  $list=mysql_fetch_array($result);
  if ($PHP_AUTH_PW !== $list[passwd] || "" == $PHP_AUTH_PW || "all" !=
$list[domain]){
   Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"EMM\"");
  Header( "HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
  unauthorized();
  exit;
  }
 }




Noe this bit:
if ($PHP_AUTH_PW !== $list[passwd]

My problem is that the password stored in MySQL was done with password(), so
it comes out similar to this as plain text:

072g307j9236a82h3u


How do I Un password() it?

I have RTFM but to no avail.

If you tell me to RTFM again, at least tell me what to search for  ;-)

[PHP] RE: One more question

You'll have to check that the results you get back from the database
actually contains something before you echo anything out.
 
Another way would be something like this
 
$numcols = 2;
$counter = 0;
while (($results = mysql_results(...)) !== false)   // haven't used mysql,
so you'll have to fix this line up :)
{
  if ($counter % $numcols == 0)  echo "";
  // echo image stuff here
  if ($counter % $numcols == $numcols-1)  echo "";
}
if ($counter % $numcols != $numcols-1)  echo "";
 
(if I remember your original post correctly)

I have a table, with 4 columns. One of the column is
ID, a Primary Key, which has Auto_Increment set on it.


Now i have a lot of rows deleted and a lot of
duplicate rows that will be deleted, and all sorts of
stuff happening in the table.. the result is, that the
IDs have become inconsistent. 

What you get is something like 
5,6,9,10,25,32,33 .. and so on. With many IDs missing
etc. 

What i want to do is delete the entire IDs and
generate them again so that they are in one single
order like 1,2,3,4,5... .like this. 

And so that any new entry in the table gets the ID
accordingly. How can i do this?

I'm quite happy to be corrected on this but I have always understood GPL
licensing to mean that any GPL code you include should be available in
source version.  The methods by which you use that GPL code doesn't
necessarily have to be included.  The only relevant example I can think
of is if you include a class in php that is GPL then you have to
distribute the source even if you compile it with zend for your own
application.

It is my understanding, in this situation, that you aren't necessarily
required to release the code you have written as GPL though.  Basically,
I thought that once something is GPL it is pretty much public forever
but that doesn't stop you from including it in your own proprietory work
as long as you include the source for the GPL stuff.

[PHP] Mail issues

[Yves Vrancken]

Greetings,

I have read up on using mail with PHP because I would like to implement it
on my website. I was wondering though, if I should implement safety measures
and if so, what kind of measures, under the following conditions:

1. If I want to give visitors the opportunity to sign up for a newsletter.
All they have to do is fill in their email adress and hit the submit button.
I could then configure the form in such a way that they would be subscribed
to the Majordomo mailinglist;

2. If I want to give visitors the opportunity to send an email using a form
on the website, so that they can submit questions or request information.

Should I really look into securing the mail, or is this is not necessary?

Thanks in advance,

Yves Vrancken

Is it a part of the php? or an additional module?
What can it be used for ?

Please let me know
Thank you.

1. Take out the @ before fopen(), this may shed some light on your problem
2. What does "/home/blurredv/data/".$username."Contact.txt" expand out to
actually be?
3. Does the script have write access to the directory/file?

Copyright and licenses are different things. Authors always hold 
copyrights until their work becomes of the public domain. Before that, 
the copyright is of the author regardless of the license.

No, you can't incorporate GPL code without your software being infected, 
meaning you have to distribute the source of the programs that you 
develop that incorporate GPL code. This basically rules out closed 
source programs like the original poster wants to sell.

Yes, that is the recommended way of dealing with the licensing doubts.

If a explicit license is not specified, yes. If the license does not 
permit what you want to do, like for instance GPL, you may try asking 
the author as well.

Anyway, by popular demand, some time ago I added the possibility for 
authors specify the license they want they code to be made available in 
the PHP Classes site. You may want to notice in a specific License field 
in the classes' pages.

Not all authors bothered to specify their code license. Therefore, some 
time later I am going to mark the classes without a specific license as 
NOT BEING MAINTAINED precisely because many people like yourself really 
need to know.

Yes, I am afraid that regarding GPL I have to agree with Microsoft when 
they say it is a cancer. The problem is that if you want to distribute 
something that incorporates GPL licensed components, your software also 
needs to be distributed as GPL and so it gets contaminated. This means 
that you can't sell your closed source software if you incorporate GPL 
components.

Most people are really not aware of this but because some important 
software like Linux and even MySQL use GPL and so many developers use it 
  without even being aware of the actual license implications (if they 
have read the license at all).

I guess Stallman knew that most people would not read or understand the 
licenses or else many of them would not be adopting GPL as in fact GPL 
based Free as in Stallman free is more restrictive than most people 
intended their Open Source software to be.

Usually I do not recommend GPL at all unless you are aware of what it 
means and that is what you really want it. Usually I recommend BSD 
license or similar like Apache or even PHP license.

Yes, you can use mail() 5th argument or call sendmail directly with the

[PHP] Credit Card Validation Solution updated

[Analysis & Solutions]

Hi Folks:

I'm happy to announce the latest versions of my
Credit Card Validation Solution.  This includes a new JSP Edition and
reworking the PHP and Perl Editions into an Object Oriented paradigm. 

If you're using a version prior to the following, please upgrade:
  Ed.   Ver  URI
    ---  ---
  JSP   4.2  http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ccvs-jsp.htm 
  Perl  4.7  http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ccvs-pl.htm
  PHP   4.4  http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ccvs-ph.htm

An older version of it is also available for Visual Basic at
http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/ccvs-vb.htm

If you're not familliar with these scripts, here's a quick description:

It ensures credit card numbers are keyed in correctly. Includes checks
that the length is correct, the first four digits are within accepted
ranges, the number passes the Mod 10 Checksum and that you accept the
given type of card. Just to be clear, this process does not check with
banks or credit card companies to see if the card number given is actually
associated with a good account. It just checks to see if the number
matches the expected format.

Enjoy,

--Dan

Wouldn't I have this same problem with ANY string encrypted with a key?
Either way the key has to be stored on the server in the most secure way
possible.

They also mentioned with AES_* that you could set the key at connection,
then NOT send it with each query.

I think AES_* is only available on MySQL 4+, so it's ruled out anyway.

DES_* requires MySQL to config'd with SSL, which it hasn't been, so this
option is also shot down.

Thanks *HEAPS* for your info.  I emailed my ISP to bitch to them about all

which has mcrypt() support... so hopefully in a minth or so, things will be

Re: [PHP] Encrypting Passwords - Is it really necessary??

[...]

[...]

My two cents...

I'm generally in favor of encrypting passwords, for the same reason
that another poster mentioned:  People use the same password for
multiple accounts/sites/etc.  I know that I do.  And if I knew that I
just signed up for some account/service and the people hosting it were
storing my password in plain text, I would be a bit perturbed.  I
would think them at least amateurish, probably careless, and possibly
untrustworthy.

With that said, sometimes plain text passwords are called for.  But
when you use them make *certain* you inform the user when they sign
up.  For example, many mailing lists store passwords in plain text and
email you a reminder, with your password, at a certain interval.
These mailing lists usually warn you in advance to not use one of your
secure passwords, since it will occasionally be emailed in plain text.
This is an example of where storing in plain text is fine, because
mailing lists aren't critical things, and the convience of being able
to remind people what their password is outweighs any security
concerns.

If you decide that you want to encrypt the passwords, but you still
want a secure way to remind people what their password is, you can
either use the unique authorization code method that one other poster
mentioned (I have some Perl code that handles that for a project I'm
working on, if you're interested), OR you can use the secret question
secret answer method.  This is where you ask the user to enter a
secret question such as mother's maiden name, favorite color, etc. and
also to enter the answer.  Then later you can ask them the question
and compare their answer to determine if they are who they say they
are...

Try it this way, it will check if it is a jpeg and it has a horizontal
and vertical size so you can be pretty sure it is an image file.
(you do not need the gd package for getimagesize())


/** Check for the type of the image : only allow jpeg's */
$im = getimagesize($_FILES['uploadFile');
if(!($im[2] == 2 && $im[0] > 0 && $im[1] > 0)){

Yes, this is way OT

you can refer back to the original window with

opener

(or it may me window.opener)

I used it once to change the location of the parent window with something
like:





show me something else

I'm thinking opener.location.reload() or opener.location.reload(1) or
opener.location.replace('my_url') might do the same job, but if you know
what URL the script should refresh to (ie, load the same URL again), then
the function above should work as is.

I don't want to send it around in an email.  So, when I get an order, I
notify the staff via email, they jump online, go to a password protected
part of the site, and retrieve the order, complete with decrypted CC#.  THEN
I can trash the CC# off the server.

Are you sure about this? That's definitely not how the specification 
reads (assuming I'm interpreting what you're trying to say correctly), 
and that is not what my experience has shown either.

A secure cookie will only be transmitted when the request is being sent 
over a secure connection, but an ordinary cookie does not carry this 
restriction and would thus not care whether the connection was secure. 
As someone else suggested, if the domain name is changing, then that is 
the access restriction that is keeping the cookie from being sent, not

You could join the developer's list and just read. I joined just to keep up

If the source code in question has *NO* licensing/copyright notice, the
author of the source holds the copyright, and you can't use it legally.

If the source code in question was published under GNU, you're bound by the
GNU license, which I *THINK* let's you use it in a commercial release... 
You'd have to read up on the "examples" of what GNU does/doesn't allow.  I
think the FSF site might have some clear examples.

PHPBuilder itself may or may not require authors to agree that their source
is under some particular license.  You'd have to check each site to see for
sure.

If in doubt, contact the author.  Worst that can happen is they want some
money, or you have to come up with a different solution.  Odds are really
really good that there is an alternative solution "out there" to almost
*ANY* of the publicly available code in those forums, or that you could dig
into them for the core of what they do and write your own from scratch.

You could:

Maybe convince the CLOSE button that it's:

Dunno how that jives with JavaScript's window closing code.

Is 'type' filled in with one of 'Guitar', 'Bass', 'Drum', 'Lyrics' ???

If so, you could do this:

create table types(type_id, type text not null);
insert into types(type) values('Guitar');
insert into types(type) values('Bass');
insert into types(type) values('Drum');

You could then do:

select blah from resources left outer join types on resources.type =
types.type
where artist_id = 'Blink 182'
order by title, type_id

Then your rows will just naturally "fill" the table.

Or, if you could live with the order being: 'Bass', 'Drum', 'Guitar',
'Lyrics' instead, you could use the table you have and do:

select blah from resources order by type where artist_id = 'Blink 182'
order by title

Then, in your PHP script, you'll have to do:

$columns = array('Bass', 'Drum', 'Guitar', 'Lyrics');
$column = 0;
$row = mysql_fetch_row(...);
while($row){
  if ($row['type'] == $columns[$column % count($columns)]){

Like, you probably never *HAD* a /home/usr directory in the first place, so
you basically moved it into "/home" and re-named it "usr" instead of
"ImageMagick..."

To be 100% certain, download the exact same tarball again and do:

diff /home/usr /new/downloaded/copy/of/ImageMagick...

If nothing comes back, you never had a /home/usr/

If it says the binary files are different, something is very, very, very
wrong on your computer...  Way beyond my ken to fix.

You're barking down the wrong well. :-)

If PHP can *DECRYPT* the data in your database, then it's not very secure AT
ALL.  It's just too easy for a hacker to get a script uploaded/installed and
then run it and snatch all the cc #'s

To answer your question:

ENCRYPT will not help, as it's one-way.  You could ask somebody to re-enter
their CC# and see if it's the same as before or not, but not "un-do" the
ENCRYPT.

Plain old ENCODE and DECODE don't even tell you which algorithm is used, so
that's useless.

AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT is using 128-bit encryption, which would be fine,
but *ANYBODY* who manages to read your "password" (aka "key_string" in the
arg_list) could snatch the CC#s.  Since PHP can read the source to execute
to get the password, that makes this suitable *ONLY* if:
1. You are using SSL (HTTPS)
2. You *NEVER* store the password anywhere -- It must be typed by a human
into the web-page to store/retrieve the CC#s.
That doesn't sound like what you want.

DES_ENCRYPT/DES_DECRYPT is using DES which doesn't totally suck, but, again,
the issue is the des_key_files.  If *THOSE* are secure from prying eyes, but
MySQL can still read them somehow, it might be "okay"...  But making it
possible for MySQL to read them, but not "too open" for other users is
somewhat of an oxymoron, maybe.  I dunno enough about how MySQL accesses
these files and if it starts as 'root' like Apache and then does 'su' or
what, but I'd be very, very careful figuring out *exactly* how MySQL can
read these files safely, but a rogue user should have *NO* *CHANCE* at
getting to them.

Bottom line -- You've *GOT* to make sure you have no chinks in the armour.

Re: [PHP] Encrypting Passwords - Is it really necessary??

[Danny Shepherd]

Ok, here's how I do it:

1. User clicks the lost password page:
2. Email is sent to user's registered email address. Email contains a url to
the newpassword page and has a validation code. This validation code is also
stored in the userinfo table (it's the MD5 of current date + time + random
chars).
3. User clicks link and is taken to page.
4. If the supplied validation code checks out, the user gets to pick a new
password there and then.
5. If the user didn't want to change the password (i.e.. the abuse scenario
you talked of) they simply ignore the email - no change occurs.

So :
The passwords can be encrypted in the database.
The system is difficult to abuse.
Passwords are never sent out over email.
User gets to choose own password.

Well it works for me anyway :)

HTH

Danny.

I'm going to go with "YES" on this one.  The problem with being able to
retrieve actual passwords from your database is this:  Most people re-use
passwords across multiple applications.  So, while you may fully intend to
stash passwords access to only your application, you may actually be
storing passwords to people's online banks, work logons, pr0n sites, etc.

You can save yourself a lot of time in the future by taking a little time
now to make sure that plain-text passwords are not retrievable from your
application/database.  If your database server were to be compromised, you
can rest assured that you didn't leak any passwords.  Otherwise, you'll
have to really worry that somebody didn't walk away with a list of names,
usernames and passwords that could be used elsewhere.

While this is true, what I've found in practice is that this rarely
happens (actually hasn't happend yet, for my sites ... knock on wood).
If you find that this becomes a problem, some logic around how often, and
by what method passwords can be changed may help alleviate the problem.

This is the way it should be, and it's like that for a reason - if you have
other tables with relations to the ID in the original table, you may cause
some headaches when the holes are filled up by new rows and they become
related to those other tables.

You may find the function mysql_insert_id() useful. If you'd like to count
the number of rows in a table you can SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table;

That's done automagically, and it's probably best to leave it that way.

It's possible but not recommended, you can just search through the rows and
see where there's a hole.

The most important reason in my humble opinion is that users may use the
same password for serveral sites and therefor he or she can feel safe that
his password isn't abused, even if a hacker grabs the database. For
passwords under 128 chars, md5() is a pretty good solution.

This can be more or less resolved, there's almost impossible to fully
protect your site from abuse but you could for example implement something
like max one new password per day. Another way could be to add an additional
detail, like postal code or something which is easy for user to determine
but (probably) not for other people.

That depends on the type of license (of course). Some licenes are pretty
hard to understand and you may have to ask a lawyer. However, there is an
easy way: just ask the author of the script you're thinking about including
in your product. He can probably tell you real quick (and free of charge) if
you can use it in your commercial product.

Is it really necessary to store passwords encrypted in a mySQL DB for a
membership site if you're not storing sensitive info such as credit card
numbers? How much security does that offer, really, and for whom?

The reason I ask is because I'm trying to implement a "forgot password"
feature on a membership site. But if I store passwords encrypted, I can't
just send the password to their e-mail address, I have to generate a new one
before sending it, which essentially locks that member out of the site until
they get their new password. This has the potential to be abused by a
vindictive person. All they need to know is the member's username or e-mail
address and they can keep re-generating new passwords (locking the member
out of their own account) for a member to annoy them.

If the password wasn't encrypted, I could just e-mail their existing
password. The only annoyance then would be someone sending this password
over and over to another user, but, at least they won't get 20 new passwords
and be locked out of their account as a result.

If anyone else has dealt with this issue, I'd appreciate your insight.

Thanks!

Monty

[PHP] Most compatible way to set cookies?

[Leif K-Brooks]

I am trying to use cookies for logins (I would use sessions, but the 
free host this site is on doesn't support them).  With all of the bugs 
in various browsers influencing cookies, what does everyone think is the 
most compatible way to set cookies?

[PHP] Passing PHP variables into javascript

[Bill Hudspeth]

I am having a problem passing a variable from PHP to Javascript and getting
my JS function to recognize a form element object. I am trying to use the
selection of a particular option in a dropdown menu to control the
visibility of another form control element (another select box). In other
words, when the user selects the third option in the menu named "petsubtype"
, the menu named "chonpetsub" should become visible. Similarly, if the third
option is deselected, the latter menu should once again disappear. When I
click on any of the options in the first menu (i.e., "petsubtype"), I get a
Javascript warning that says "elementname.length is null or not an object".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks in advance, Bill

Do you know you have a typo in that conditional there? Was that your
real code? You misspelled 'else' as 'esle'.

Thank everyone for suggestions.

I followed through on them but unsuccessfully. I looked for any mistake
but
couldn't find it. I tried commenting out lines in chunks and one by one,
without any effect.

the problem stays the same, if the conditional statement is present then
image
is not generated, otherwise the code works and is generating an image.
Also, the image is generating only in Netscape browzer?! Internet
Explorer
does not display the image at all, never, with or without conditional.

Is their some trick i need to know to display images both in netscape
and
iexplorer?

if smone would give it a shot i would be very thankfull! thnks in

[PHP] Public Scripts in a commercial product

[Chris Boget]

If someone is going to be using scripts that they grabbed
from a public forum (PHP Builder, PHPClasses, etc) in a
commercial product (that is going to be compiled with the
Zend encoder and released), what is the protocol, if any?  
Do you have to get permission from the author or anything?
I've read a bit of the GNU Public liscence but I didn't come
away knowing any more than went I started reading it.  So
I figure I'd ask here where I'm sure many of you have this
type of experience.

Re: [PHP] Help Please

[Martin Clifford]

That's not entirely correct, though.  If you are using output bufferng, then you can.  
Also, for example, say this is your file, with the makeshift line representing the top 
of the text editor:

—Start


—-End

That will produce the same error as before, since a hard return was entered before the 
parser began it's work, therefore finishing the headers and sending the data to the 
client for rendering.  Hope this clears something up :o)

Sorry for the off topic post, but this is by far the most experienced list I've found.

I've got a php page that show all the .gif and .jpeg files in an directory via a form

On the same page, I've also got a link that opens a new window, and allows the user to

Is there any way, when the upload window is closed, to force a reload of the other

Re: [PHP] Help Please

You can't send headers after the page has left the server.  If you try to write to the 
HTML file in ANY way, even a hard return in your code, then you are telling the server 
that the headers have been completed and should be sent to the client (browser).

Read the error message. Output started at var/www/html/processing.php:5.
that means line 5 of that file output something to the browser, after which,
you cannot send any cookies or headers.

[PHP] PHP Consulting Quote Format (fro mprevious discussion)

[Matt Babineau]

I seem to remember a previous thread about quotes and how much other
people are charging etc for PHP development. Someone posted a link to a
quote they had recently done, I am looking for a standard format that I
can use to send out my quotes with. Does anyone have anything like this
or remember the thread, I can't seem to find it.

The entire purpose of auto_increment is that you do NOT have to 'set' id when you add 
new records to the field.  Don't reference your 'id' field in the insert statement at 
all.

>So I've 2 questions
>1) Can the next auto_increment value be 'set' by a SQL query

No.  The next auto_increment value is the same as max(id) + 1.  However, just because 
a column is auto_increment doesn't mean you can't specify an id when you add a new 
record, if you like.

>2) Can I get a SQL query to INSERT INTO the first 'hole' it finds in the ID
>column??
Not with SQL by itself.  You'd need to SELECT id FROM table, then use PHP to figure 
out how to fill in the hole.

However, none of this should be a problem; simply allow those holes to exist and find 
some other way of numbering your records.

[PHP] OT - javascript question..

[Kelly Meeks]

Sorry for the off topic post, but this is by far the most experienced list I've found.

I've got a php page that show all the .gif and .jpeg files in an directory via a form 
based drop down menu.

On the same page, I've also got a link that opens a new window, and allows the user to 
upload an image to that same directory.

Is there any way, when the upload window is closed, to force a reload of the other 
page, so the dynamic pop-up reflects the recent upload?

Thanks in advance,

Fw: [PHP] MYSQL natsort() ?

I know that MySQL will do a natural sort on INT fields becuase I often use
an integer for my index.  But I don't know about a FLOAT field.   Seems like
it should doesn't it?  Sorry I don't have a direct answer for you.  You

[PHP] Auto Increment Problems....

[Georgie Casey]

rite,

my primary key column ("id") is set to auto_increment as usual which is very
handy. But when I delete a row, the auto_increment just keeps incrementing
and there's this 'hole' left where I deleted the row!

Apart from this looking ugly, it poses another problem. In my PHP script
where I can add new rows, I query the table, checking how many rows in the
table altogether and set the new id as the next number, but this doesnt work
if theres 'holes' in the id field, as the new record tries to overwrite
another id.

So I've 2 questions
1) Can the next auto_increment value be 'set' by a SQL query
2) Can I get a SQL query to INSERT INTO the first 'hole' it finds in the ID
column??

TIA

[Joel Colombo]

This is a mysql question, cause i can do it with a natsort in php.
question is can u do it directly in the MYSQL SELECT ?
I am wondering if the SELECT statement can have a natural order by.

Table has 5 rows.
field name "number"
values :
10
2
15
30
150

a regular order by "number": generates results 10,15,150,2,30

i need a natural sort
2,10,15,30,150

is there a way to sort FLOAT valuse like this using an order by with a combo
of other functions or something ?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] comparing a variable to value in DB

[Kevin Stone]

No trust me you're on the right track.  You don't need the double ==
operator in the SQL query.  Try something like this...

$query = "SELECT * FROM membersWHERE username = '$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
{
echo "The username $username does not exist.";
exit;
}

To check for blank fields simply ask "... WHERE username = ''".

You should be able to use the fifth parameter ("additional parameters")
that was added in PHP 4.0.5 to properly set the envelope-sender, which
will cause the 'Return-Path' header to be set properly.  Quick example:

';
$from = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$subject = 'hey!';
$message = 'This is the message.';
mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from", "-f$from");
?>

Note that this doesn't do error checking on the status of the mail()
command -- it's just a quick example.  There also may be sendmail config
things that prevent you from setting the Return-Path in this manner;
that's out of my area of expertise, so if the above doesn't work, I'm
not much more help...

[PHP] Preg replace & Query Problem

[Alex Beauclair]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with preg_replace and a mysql query. Here's my code :

$query = $db->query("SELECT style FROM ".$table_styles." WHERE id = '1'");
$r = $db->fetch_array($query);
$style_1 = $r[style];

$query = $db->query("SELECT id, name, description FROM
".$table_categories."");
while($r = $db->fetch_row($query)) {

 $category_id = $r[0];
 $category_name = $r[1];
 $category_description = $r[2];

 $style_1  = preg_replace('/\[url\]/', "index.php?catID=$category_id",
$style_1);
 $style_1  = preg_replace('/\[title\]/', "$category_name", $style_1);

 echo "$style_1\n";
 echo "\n";

}

This is the schema for $table_styles

++-+-+--
---+
| id | name| description
| style |
++-+-+--
---+
|  1| Title Links | The style for the title links on the main page.

The script should loop and replace [url] and [title] with the relative id
and name from $table_categories, however when it is run, it gives out :

Re: [PHP] php.exe from command line

[Evan]

I didn't thought about this, but it's logic (as always).

However I solved my problem:
I've developed a really simple program with C++Builder6 (only ~15 lines of
code :-P) that every X seconds calls the php file (agent.php).
And finally it works!

Thanks for your help,

Simple.  Parameters of the type you described, with the ?, = and &, etc. are
specific to URLs and are handled by CGI, common gateway interface, i.e. the
web server.  See the PHP documentation on $argc[] and $argv[] if you want to
pass parameters on the command line.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php

Your question mark directly after the file name is confusing DOS.
Parameters on the DOS command line need to be separated from the file name
by a space.

Essentially, $argc is your argument count and $argv is an array of the
values of the arguments.

You won't be able to use $_GET when working with variables from the command
line.  It wouldn't be wise to design one script that works from either the
command line or the web browser, plus it would be a major pain in the ass.

[PHP] How would I do this?

[Tony Harrison]

Hi. I have a problem with my tab/lyric site, I need to create an artist
page, where users can view all lyrics/tabs by a certain artist.
Now because im likely to get guitar/drum/bass tabs / lyrics for the same
song, I want to have a table with links as follows (e.g):

Blink 182
-

Whats my age again?GuitarBassDrumLyricsBuy
at Amazon.
DammitGuitarBassDrumLyrics
Buy at Amazon.
MnMs GuitarBassDrumLyrics
Buy at Amazon.

Now I know this would be simpler if I had them in different tables, but I
have my reasons why I dont.
Here is the setup of the table for storing tabs/lyrics..

CREATE TABLE `resources` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`type` TEXT NOT NULL,
`title` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
`content` TEXT NOT NULL,
`user_id` INT NOT NULL,
`rating` INT DEFAULT '5' NOT NULL,
`views` INT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
`date` TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
`artist_id` TEXT,
`amazon` TEXT,
INDEX (`id`),
UNIQUE (`id`)
);

I was thinking I could extract data and shove it into a temporary table, but
that just creates other problems, I think. Anyone got any suggestions?
Please?

RE: [PHP] Disturbing parsing problems

[cteubner]

Sorry to double-post but this brought up something I didn't realize wasn't clear in my 
original post.  When I say:
if () ;
I am using the one-line if/elseif/else syntax, which works like this:

if($foo) echo $bar;
elseif($x) echo $y;
else echo $z;

This is a self-contained if statement, as in C, which needs no colon or braces.  This 
is the first mentioned syntax for if() in the PHP documentation.  However, just to be 
100% sure, I used braces anyway and still suffered the same problem.

I'm coding in Dreamweaver MX and all of the {}s appear the appropriate color, and seem 
to be in the appropriate places when I use the balance braces command. (ctrl+' for the 
uninitiated)
Thanks,
