Re: [PHP] Trouble with switch statements
Use $_GET["select"] for the switch statement
Some of the people on this list would even recommend you make another
variable first, such as $userselect = $_GET["select"] and use
$userselect as your switch statement, though I think it pointless.
Or turn register_globals on in the php.ini file (not recommended)

Ok...I just recently installed Apache1 and PHP 4.2.3 on my computer and
I've
configured everything. However, I can't seem to get my switch statements
to
accept variable values from the address bar. So if I type in:
http://www.my-site.com/index.php?select=1
It displays the text in the default part of the switch statement. I also
seem to get the following error message every time:
Notice: Undefined variable: select in c:\apache\apache\htdocs\index.php
on
line 51
Here's the code for my switch statement as well:
switch($select)
{
case 1: print "About Stuff Goes Here.";
break;
case 2: print "Music Goes Here.";
break;
default:print "Testing...";

That's impossible to answer!! My guess is that the "few letters" you change affect the way the script runs, so it's probably causing an error. Without seeing *WHAT* you change, I can only guess.

So turn it into an integer. $param = (int)$_POST['param']; It'll be turned into an integer or anything after a string part will be chopped off. 10001 => 10001 1000f => 1000 f1000 => 0 Validating can be that simple. You may also want to check the range of the number. Again, validating is unique to your application. What do you expect the value to be?

It appears that any numeric values passed via the URL (..?param=10001) are
automatically treated as strings. If I pass ?param=1001 to the following
script...
$type = '';
if (is_string($param)) { $type = 'string'; }
if (is_int($param)) { $type = 'integer'; }
echo 'Type: '.$type;
... I get the following result:
Type: string
But, it should be integer because 10001 is meant to be a number. How does
this work for $_GET values?

So, in essence, this would produce a mySQL error instead > of executing the query, is that correct? It depends on what you're doing with $name. Remember, you're just creating a string that has to be logical when it's sent to MySQL SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = '$name' SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = "$name" Either way you do it, you want to make sure that the contents of $name don't have a quote that'll end the name string. If you have $name = "John AND fname = 'Mary'"; and you don't escape quotes, then you have a query like SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = 'John AND fname = 'Mary' SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = "John AND fname = 'Mary' Where the first one will cause an error and the second one will just not match any rows, more than likely. If you have $name = "John' AND fname='Mary"; and you don't escape quotes, you'll get SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = 'John' AND fname='Mary' SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = "John' AND fname='Mary" Where the first is a valid query and could return rows you didn't normally intend for it to return. The second will probably not match any rows again. Now, don't think that double quotes are any safer. You can change $name to use double quotes to manipulate the queries, too. Bottom line is that you want to use addslashes() or magic_quotes_gpc() on any variable you're going to insert into a query string.

$lc_headers .= "X-Sender: <$lc_sender>\n";
$lc_headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$lc_headers .= "Return-Path: <$lc_return>\n"; // Return path for errors

It took me some time to eventually figure this out when I first did this because I was using just \n which doesn't work in the header, but, does work in the body. $headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n" ."Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n" ."X-Mailer: PHP/4.0.2"; You can also add other mail headers such as 'Importance: High' to the headers list. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Getting the "From: admin@site.com" to work
Thanks John, I had the maual in front of me, but I didn't understand that you had to put the 'From:' stuff in a 'header'. That's why it wasn't working. I presumed (wrongly again) that 'headers' were optional, and I got sidetracked by the success of the "To:" field. Thanks for clearing that up.

There is no 'from' field. This must be put in the headers.

You pass a string or an number to your query. You have to make sure the data you're passing is a string, or a number. If you're expecting a number, and use a query like: WHERE id = $id Then make sure $id is a number. You can use is_int, or (int), or whatever. If you're passing a string WHERE username = '$name' Then make sure $name has all single quotes escaped within it. If all of them are escaped, then it's just a string and can't do any harm. If they aren't escaped, then the user can break out of your own SQL and put their own. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is a great suggestion from Rick. I already use this method.

[PHP] Re: mysql_fetch_row options
I use the following function to do this...
function countRecords($query, $dbcon=0) {
if ($dbcon==0) { $ dbcon = connDbase(); }
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) ".$query;
$res = mysql_query($query, $ dbcon); // Query DB.
return mysql_result($res, 0, "count(*)");
}
Here's how it's used:
$count = countRecords("FROM mydb WHERE id = 1001");
All I have to do is provide the query starting with FROM as the function
creates the SELECT COUNT(*) part. Also, the optional second parameter is to
pass the database connection resource ID to the function if I've already
established one before calling this function. This prevents the function
from having to establish a second DB connection for the count. If the second
param is left empty then a DB connection will be made using another
function: connDbase().
$count will contain the number of records that match the query and only
requires me to type one line of code.

[PHP] Re: upload files
I just wrote a file upload script and all the information that I needed was
here in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
There were a couple of "common pitfalls" that it points out, which you
should check. Make sure you've defined the various configuration variables
'correctly' some are:
upload_files
upload_tmp_dir
upload_max_filesize
and post_max_filesize
also check your form to make sure you have an input defined for
MAX_FILE_SIZE and that in the tag you have the proper encoding.
My form used '' and this made a
difference. Something worth checking.

Re: [PHP] passthru problems generating WAVs with mpg123
I'm SURE you've got a good reason, but why are you wanting to generate a WAV
on demand? The loss in file quality occurs going from WAV > MP3, so then
later going back to WAV would only result in a bigger file size, with ZERO
benefit in audio quality.

[PHP] passthru problems generating WAVs with mpg123
I've written a little script for VoiceXML applications to generate a WAV
from an MP3 on demand:
#file wavwrapper.php
header('Content-Type: audio/wav');
$filename = $_GET['filename'];
$mp3dir="/var/www/mp3s/";
$playercmd="/usr/local/bin/mpg123 -m -w - -q -4 --8bit";
passthru("$playercmd $mp3dir/$filename 2> /tmp/playererror");
?>
I request it as wavwrapper?filename=song.mp3, and the browser reads the
MIME type properly, prompts me to play or download the song. I download
it, and save it as a WAV file. However, Mozilla downloads about 1.5M of
data, saves it all to a file, and then displays the downloaded size as
1k. And then when I try to play it back, it won't play; it's like an
empty file. Same thing happens if I try to play it directly. But if I
redirect the output of mpg123 from standard out (so it goes across the
web connection) to a file and then download the file, the file plays
just fine. I figure there's something to do with the way PHP dumps back
the binary data that just isn't working right, but I don't know what it
is. Anyone have any ideas?

You can assign the directly into a variable using something like:
list($count) = mysql_fetch_array($result);
Not sure whether you can do a += into an existing variable though.
Why don't you just stuff the above into a function instead?

(untested :)
$result = mysql_query("select count(*) as cnt from database", $db);
$staticvar += mysql_result($result,0,0);

[PHP] mysql_fetch_row options
There's got to be a better way to go about this: I am constantly doing mysql
queries where I am doing
a count(), so a sample query would be like this: "select count(*) from
database". I'm expecting only
ONE value back exactly, and that's the count results. However, to get this
data into a variable, i'm
having to write code like this:
$result = mysql_query("select count(*) from database", $db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$staticvar += $myrow[0];
$staticvar will never be an array, it's just a simple variable storing a
number. I *could* do it like this:
$result = mysql_query("select * from database", $db);
$staticvar += mysql_num_rows($result);
However, the mysql query will be much, much slower if I do it like this.
Basically, what I'm asking, is how to do something like:
$staticvar += mysql_fetch_row($result);
I want to eliminate step two, and I don't want to involve any temporary
arrays when there's always just one
value. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

[PHP] parsing conundrum
If you know what recursion is and like a challege, here's a puzzle
to keep you up nights. If not, you'll probably just want to mutter to
yourself "what a poor, unlucky bastard" and pass on by.
I'm parsing some data files into a PHP array and am stumped. I'm at
a loss for how to do this without grinding through character by character.
That would work, but my subconcious is nagging at me that there's got to be
a more elegant way to do it that I'm just not seeing, so I'm going to
describe the problem and ask for help before I start grinding.
The app I'm getting this from has 4 data types: int, string, array
and mapping (associative array).
Ints and strings are pretty straightforward, but there's no way to
tell 0 from null int or null string. This is an annoying limitation of the
app that just has to be ignored and dealt with by whatever gets this data
from us. This (among other reasons) make me glad PHP is weakly-typed.
Arrays are indexed from 0 and values can mix ints and strings
freely.
To start, mappings are arrays indexed by ints or strings. Mappings
aren't just arrays, though, they have a "width" (which is really a nested
array that I'm pretty certain is an ugly historical artifact.) Width allows
multiple values for one key and must be the same for all values in a
mapping, though the values (both of keys and their values) don't have to be
of the same type. Mappings can also mix ints and strings.
The tough part is that arrays and mappings can nest inside of each
other and the only characters quoted in strings are \, " and \n. This means
recursion must be used, but I just can't figure out a way to find the
boundaries of each element. Anyone with a clean way to do this (probably
with some kind of crazy regexp) will recieve my awe and gratitude.
Here's an example file[1]:
null_string 0
some_string "Fourscore and seven years ago..."
unset_int 0
an_int 42
negative_int -12
null_array ({ })
null_mapping ([ ])
easy_array ({9,22,"test",})
easy_mapping (["string":3,"foo":"bar",[12]:"I am not a crook!",])
medium_array ({"a string, containing a comma and a \"",23,})
medium_mapping (["str\"ing":3;5;7, 9:"Read my lips.";11;13;,])
hard_array ({"comma, string",({3,4,5,}),({"'\"str'",4,({3,4,({ }),}),}),})
hard_mapping ([17:"str";15,"foo":([ ]);17,"b'l\\a\nh":19;([21:23,]),"tour de
force":({29,31});({([ ])}),])
You may notice the last one is pathological[2]. Yes, PHP will really
let you use " and \n in array keys. The real data do sometimes get about
this complex; consider this a compressed version. As a fun fact, I've
learned vim's % command doesn't work when there's an odd number of double
quotes between your parens/braces.
Calling print_r on the array this generates would return:
Array

[null_string] => 0
[some_string] => "Fourscore and seven years ago..."

Thanks!! There are a number of things that could be wrong, but the most likely is access rights I suppose. The best way to solve this is indeed to turn on more logging in slapd if necessary. Please see slapd docs for how to do this. Stig -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
