[PHP] Reading part of a file
I'm making a module system. I need to make the actual module then a form to go along with it. The only way I can think of doing this is makign a file and then sectioning the file so that the first part is read and put somewhere on a page them the other part is put on the same page later on or on a different page. How can this be done without reading a certain amount of characters? The actual module part won't all be the same length so...how can this be done?

Subject: Re: [PHP] Reading part of a file
I think what your trying to do is to read one file containing html, and
insert some other html in the middle of the first file. If that's
correct,
you should look into a template class, which can handle that quite nicely.
Other than that, you can break up the first file into 2 parts, a header
and
a footer. Then you would have a page that does a:
?php
require('header.php');
require('middle.php');
require('footer.php');
?
You put your form or whatever into the middle.php file. Lots of pages are
built that way, but templates are more flexible. For templates packages,
you can look into phplib (http://phplib.sourceforge.net/), and smarty
(http://smarty.php.net/).
If I'm off base, perhaps you could explain a little more about what you're
trying to do.

[PHP] Session not Registering
I have a PHP script that logs someone in then takes them to

contents of the session variable, it says this:
Notice: Undefined
variable: _SESSION in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\checker\members\index.php on line 38
Here's the code that registers the variable, or is atleast
supposed to:
if ($dbconn)
{ $querystr = "SELECT user FROM
users WHERE (user = '" . prepareData($_POST['user']) . "' and pass=PASSWORD('" .
prepareData($_POST['pass']) .
"'))"; $result =
mysql_query($querystr,$dbconn); if
($result) { if ($frow
= mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
session_start();session_register('user');
$_SESSION['user'] =
$frow[0];
header("Location: index.php?" .
SID);
exit();
} else
{ $error =
"Invalid username and password
combo.";
} }
Here's where I echo it out:
div align="left"
class="log"font size="2"Logged in as ?php echo
$_SESSION['user']; ?/font/div
Any ideas why it's not working?

[PHP] copying tables
Using PHP and MySQL. I have looked and can't find the answer to this problem. What I am trying to do is to copy a mysql table to a new table name in a PHP script. The reason for this is to keep the original table the way it is and editing the copy. Now, I know that I can go through a loop reading the old table and putting it into the new table, but is there an easier way that would just duplicate or copy the mysql table to a new table name? The reason for all of this is my script will create the original table (a temporary table), populate it, delete what needs to be deleted out of it, then I need a copy of that table for a subroutine that will be running multiple times and need the same information to start off with.

Re: [PHP] copying tables
Hi, I don't have the answer, but when that happens, the first thing I do is dig around in phpMyAdmin(.org)... it's a web based GUI for MySQL, and most of the time, when you do something (like copy a table), it shows you the query used to do it... then you just need to copy it, and integrate it into your php script.

In Perl, all you have to do is open it, dump it to a variable and close it. I thought it would be that easy in PHP too.

RE: [PHP] Opening a file to manipulate it
Try this:
$content = implode('', file('../header.html'));
Or if you're running php 4.3.0 or greater:
$content = file_get_contents('../header.html');
Can't get much easier than that :)

Subject: RE: [PHP] Opening a file to manipulate it
Thanks Ed! Yes, another member here told me to use fread(), which is
what
your link led to if you're not using the CVS version of PHP. (whatever
that
is)
I got it working with this:
?
$file = ../header.html;
$fp = fopen($file, r);
$header = fread($fp, filesize($file));
fclose ($fp);
echo $header;
I'm a Perl guy so I was looking for an easier way. In Perl, all you have
to
do is open it, dump it to a variable and close it. I thought it would be
that easy in PHP too. I guess Perl wins there, but PHP is much better
overall so far. ;)
Thanks again!
Troy

Re: [PHP] MY CLIENT
Geez, how old is that one. Been receiving it for at least a year. And here is is, all spammed up and everything! How did that creep in?

MARYAM ABACHA, the former first lady and wife of the late GEN. SANI ABACHA, the former head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. She (MRS. M. ABACHA), has as a result of the trust and confidence she has in me mandated that I search for a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner, who will help receive some funds which she had in cash totaling US$45m (Forty Five Million United States Dollars Only) into a personal, company or any reliable foreign bank account for safe keeping for a short period of time, since her family bank accounts within and outside the country have all been frozen by the authorities. (I would refer you to the website of .http://www.transnationale.org/anglais/sources/tiersmonde/dirigeants__aba http://allafrica.com/stories/200203180074.html http://www.time.com/time/europe/magazine/2000/27/swiss.html , for further information about these monies and the ABACHAS) This money in question has however, been carefully keptin defaced form and deposited with a security company that has branches in Europe and America. You may therefore be required to travel to any of the branches to collect the money on behalf of my client for safe keeping. It may also interest you to know that she (MRS. ABACHA) and her family have, since the inception of the present democratic government, been placed under partial house arrest, with their international traveler's passports withdrawn pending the resolution of current fund recovery face - off between them and the present RTD GEN. OBASANJO led Federal Government, which from all indications will not exceed this year. She has decided to offer anybody who will be willing to render this tremendous assistance 20% of the total sum, while 5% shall be set aside for incidental expenses. Note that this transaction involves no risks whatsoever, as you will have no dealing with my Country, Nigeria. Rather, you will deal directly with the security company, which is based where the money is right now. Let me have your confidential Tel/Fax Numbers in your response to this proposal. I shall let you into a complete picture of this mutually beneficial transaction when I have received your anticipated positive reply. This matter should be treated as urgent and confidential. This is very important.
