Re: [PHP] Works in html, not when echoed in PHP

2002-11-12 Thread Ernest E Vogelsinger

You didn't show how you construct the JavaScript string in PHP - I'm sure
the problem is with quoting in there.

Have a look at your output in the browser (do a "View Source" or whatever
your Browser calls it), and check the JS your PHP application constructed.
You'll spot the error...

No. The '[]' doesn't have to do with a PHP variable, it only tells PHP to
treat an _incoming_ parameter as an array.

What happens when PHP parses form data is something like:

variable is named "name"[] ?
   yes - $_REFERENCE['name'] = array(v1, v2, v3);
   no  - $_REFERENCE['name'] ? v1;

As to my knowledge it is the only way.

I believe you can do this in JavaScript:

hf = form('myform');
he = hf.elements['myselect[]');

to get a handle to the form element.

I've made quite a number of JavaScripts controlled PHP dialogs containing
the [], they all work like a charm. There's only one thing you cannot do AFAIK:
   myform.myvar[].value = 0;

Here's my original function, now tested and bugs removed, together with

function remove_br_in_pre($string)

$re2 = '/\n?/is';

// setting a variable to "null" defines it, so we don't get

// unset($result) doesn't define it, and is unnecessary
// as it is not "set" at this moment.
$result = null;

// this generates a loop that will remove multiple pre's
while ($string) {

// my original assignment ($arMatch = preg_match(...)) was wrong.
// preg_match returns 1 on match, and 0 on no match.
if (preg_match($re1, $string, $arMatch)) {
$result .= $arMatch[1];

// sorry, forgot to keep the  pairs...
// you need to add a line break instead of the 
// to keep your code formatted
$result .= ''.preg_replace($re2, "\n", $arMatch[2]).'';
$string = $arMatch[3];
}
else break;
}

// if there are no  pairs, $string will be unmodified and the

// either the whole $string, or the remaining $string, to the result.
$result .= $string;
return $result;

The regex modifiers:

I didn't really read the whole thread and I'm not sure if somebody already
told you about decode(). I think that'll do the trick. If not, sorry I can't
be of much help. But Google can help you: (Try: mysql decode password as
your keyword.)

[PHP] Unsetting Array Element

2002-11-12 Thread Monty

Does unsetting an array element make the array smaller? For example, if I
have two elements in an array...

$array = ("title" => "Title of Document",
  "content" => "Ten paragraphs of text in here..." );

...then issue this command...

unset ($array['content']);

...will this make $array smaller and more efficient if I then pass it on to
a function for processing?

Thanks!

[PHP] the "+" become space after a POST request

2002-11-12 Thread xyzt123456

If I type some "+" signs in a form and that I send it by POST, the
result is that the "+" become spaces.

I guess there's an option in the php.ini, but can't find out !

Thanks for your help!

I think php is parsing your js code. Have you tried echoing with single

echo '';



Or better yet, try this:



Yes, this is the same code that "works fine in plain html". Why echo it in PHP if it is static?

RE: [PHP] Trying to e-mail password

I was setting up a news site that is customized for the registered user.  I
wanted that user to have the ability to be able to click a button and have
the password e-mailed to him.  The password function that I used is
password(password) through mysql.  Do you know how I can get the encrypted

Unless you encode your PHP scripts ;) ...with Zend Encoder, perhaps?

I agree. You really need to have your own server, within your own premises,
(physically) accessible only by your own self if you're really thinking
about making your scripts/db/site "secure".

I am not against encoding/decoding passwords in the db. In fact, I'd even
say that it's a good idea to encode names, tel nos., e-mail addresses, etc.

But what beats me is this: This thread is about e-mailing passwords. If
you're thinking about security why would you send your user's password?
Beats me. (Unless of course you're using some kind of digital signature,
etc. and encoding you're e-mails as well...)

Just mho,

Anyway, thanks for your insight. Some of these slightly off-topic issues
are more interesting than the on-topic ones. :-) Maybe our community
needs a historian to collect some of this information for those of us
who are interested (or am I the only one?).

[snip]

It's slightly more than historical - in fact the behavior of GET and POST
is quite clearly laid out in RFC2616
(http://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2616.txt) which represents the
"proposed standard" for HTTP/1.1.

You should probably read the original discussion. The thread was
regarding naming conventions used to refer to variable types, and the
reference to historical information was regarding Rasmus's choice of
get/post for PHP as well as his reasoning.

Also, it should be noted that the HTTP/1.1 specification is a draft
standard, not a proposed standard. See
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html for the latest status of
standards like that.

To start with, data passed within the URI is called "query"

Not exactly. This is like saying the path in a URL should be called
abs_path, since that's what the specification uses. Most everyone uses
the term query string to refer to the section of a URL between the ? and
the # (if any). You're the first person I've seen to call it query. :-)

In plain english, developers SHOULD use $_GET variables only to _compose_
information, not to take some action to _create_ information. We should
always be aware that an URI can always be saved in a link collection
("Favirites"), or used as a link target, as opposed to POSTed data.
