You could try TemplateTamer, it offers good separation of html and code, has
"clean" templates, and it commes with IDE to support template based
development.

Have you checked your log file, usually there is an error in the log
file telling you what went wrong.

This usually happens when non http headers are sent to the server when
it wasnt expecting them, php should be handling this. But to check this
make sure you try sending out a header('Content-Type: text/plain') first
thing in the script then dont do a redirect and see if some text is
showing up that shouldn't be.

[PHP] Strange Problem

[Haseeb]

 
 
Hi all,
this is a very strange problem. i don't know where i am doing something that is causing this. the problem is that i am working on a web portal  entirely in  php. i have a few hidden pages. that do the queries to the DB. now when i redirect to any page for query i get this error
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
 
strangely  when i hit F5 or refresh the page i get redirected to the desired page. i have checked for any whitespaces. there are none. i have checked and double checked this. i am using win2k,IIS, php 4.3.0
 
again i have checked all the files for any space left that could be causing problem but i found none.
 
i hope i make my self clear.

Then my apologies.  I thought php determined the file type on upload,

Makes me rethink some of my own code :) 
Looking for opinions.  Can a spoofed uploaded file hurt a script or a 
webserver??
Reason why Im asking is because, I looked over the magic.mime file on my 
server, and I see that it
doesn't support flash files (I may be wrong), of which I currently allow 
flash files to be uploaded.
So who knows what else it may not support.
I guess, can it really be bad for your script, your server, and/or your 
health??

[PHP] Lots of PHP

[César Aracena]

Hi all,

I'm in the early steps of the design of a portal kid of site dedicated to
Fly Fishing and one of the most relevant section will be a "Shopping Guru"
that visitors will be able to use to determine what is the best equipment
they should buy or bring, in order to catch the size and kind of trout
they want to get, wherever they want to go and whenever they decide to go.

This sounds simple, but I have to take in consideration that my Country
has LOTS of places to fish and every time of year it's different as trout
are never in the same place, so equipments to be used are different
depending the time of year (grouped in two weeks), etc.

A solution will be to start writing several miles of text into text files
or databases so PHP can fire these up and seek for a solution depending on
what the visitor has chosen, but this is an extremely log solution,
specially having in mind that this site will be in two languages.

What would be the best solution for this? I even want to let visitors
select the equipment (what they own), the place and the time of year and
get the kind of trout they will be fishing, or maybe even more ways
around... is this possible? has anyone made something so "intelligent" in
PHP before?

I use PHP 4+ and MySQL 3.4

Thanks in advance,

date() expects a UNIX timestamp to be passed to it. MySQL does not store 
dates as a UNIX timestamp in DATE, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP columns. 
strtotime() will take a MySQL timestamp, though, and convert it to a 
UNIX timestamp.

Also look into using DATE_FORMAT() in your query to format the data 
there so you don't have to do anything in PHP.

Thanks John, your answer is right on the $$$.
Changing the query to  something like : SELECT
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(ProblemStart) as ProblemStart

solved the problem.

Do i feel sheepish... actually double sheepish cause i already solved
this
long ago and forgot about it :(

Hi,

I have this need/want to grab information from sites for my own
usage and wondering how to do it.

Here's an example.

1. Log into finance.yahoo.com (assuming I need to log on)
2. Type the list of shares I want
3. Let Yahoo process it
4. Use PHP or some other scripting language to pull the data and put it into
my database.

Is this possible at all?

RE: [PHP] Grabbing info from other Sites

[Ow Mun Heng]

Hi,

Unfortunately, Yahoo.com is just an example.. The site really does
need Login.

The thing is this, I'm developing for an internal site, (My dept) but I need
to access other dept's site to get info but unfortunately They won't give me
access to query the db directly. Prefering me to go through the site and
input accordingly to grab the data. 

I just find this to be "SO" troublesome as I need to get this data
for every week. Week In.. Week Out and for a lot of items..

But I will take a look at SNOOPY. (hey.. isn't the name snoopy
copyrighted??)

[PHP] Client script opensource plea

[Larry Brown]

This, most certainly OT, is a plea for fellow developers oriented in
OpenSource solutions to help resolve a problem in case you have dealt with
it before.  I have written a PHP app that uses function keys at times to
help speed data processing for my client VIA javascript.  This app works
fine when the client is using IE or Netscape on the windows platform.
However, when the client is on Linux, the function keys are not being
captured on Mozilla or Netscape.  I presented this problem in my Javascript
mailing list and on the RedHat mailing list and no one seems to have had any
experience dealing with it and consequently I haven't a work around.  My
apologies for presenting a clearly OT question, but I know there are a ton
of experienced developers here and I reaching for someone who might have
dealt with this.

Re: [PHP] session data missing

[ulf sundin]

I'm not the admin on the server, so I'll have to manage with the software
provided. And that is php 4.0.6.
I've tried a number of ways to store variables in the session file. This
works:

session_start();
$foo = 'bar';
session_register('foo');

then after session_write_close(); or end of script:
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; will output 'bar'.

just adding variables directly into the HTTP_SESSION_VARS array won't make
them stick in the session file. Use of session_register() seems to be
required.

Hello,


This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Sun, 13 Jul 2003 at 23:12,
lines prefixed by '>' were originally written by you.

Maybe the browser you are using to fill in the form field is using a
different type of line break. Although I have never seen it done, r by
itself can be used to cause a line break and if that is being done your
code will not be detecting it.

It's really strange because I type the following into the form field.

Test

And get this as output.

Do form fields not preserve spacing or line breaks?

You can work it out for yourself. Run over the string, displaying each
character as it's ASCII equivalent with ord(). Eg

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($article); $i++) {
echo ("'" . $article[$i] . "'=" . ord($article[$i]) . ', ');
}

(My guess is that you're seeing the difference between a wrapped line and

Perhaps.  When getting text from a form field, what is substituted for a

nl2br() in the specific case

But in the general case, your code looks ok to me.

echo (str_replace("\n", "", "foo\nbar"));

returns "foobar" here. Maybe $article doesn't contain what you think it
does?

(BTW, I prefer to replace "\n" with "\n", but that's just a style
thing.)

I did not know about nl2br.  Thanks.

But what if say I want to replace a newline with something else, say
.  How would I do that?

[PHP] Replacing newlines (\n) with smething else

[Jason Giangrande]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace newlines with something else.  For this example
I'll use  as the thing to replace a newline with.  This is what I
tried and it doesn't work.

$article = str_replace("\n", "", $article);

What am I doing wrong?  $article is the string to replace the newlines
in.  I tried this with a period and that works as expected.  Can I not
replace newlines this way?

Thanks,

[PHP] Turning string into a table

[zavaboy]

Is there a way to make for example:

// (Column info)
// String 1:
[This column holds
[Col 1]
[Col 2]]
[This second column holds
[Col 3]
[Col 4]]

// (Row)
// String 2:
[Col 1 (row1)]
[Col 2 (row1)]
[Col 3 (row1)]
[Col 4 (row1)]

// (Row)
// String 3:
[Col 1 (row2)]
[Col 2 (row2)]
[Col 3 (row2)]
[Col 4 (row2)]

// How do I turn the above strings into a table?
// Like this:



This column holds
This second column holds


Col 1
Col 2
Col 3
Col 4


Col 1 (row 1)
Col 2 (row 1)
Col 3 (row 1)
Col 4 (row 1)


Col 1 (row 2)
Col 2 (row 2)
Col 3 (row 2)
Col 4 (row 2)



You get the idea...
So, any idea how to do that?
I want it to work correctly no matter how many rows and columns there are.

[PHP] About fopen() for write and PHP settings

[George Papatheodorou]

First of all I apology for my poor use of English of my newbish(?)
questions because I didn't find any solutions the first time I e-mailed
this list. What my problem is:
I am on a server that has these configurations like these:
http://kainga.quasarnet.org/php.php . Let's say my username is user1 and
server files' owner is httpd  . I have a script in my public html dir
that tries to fopen("./somefile.txt", "w") [note: is_writable for this
file returns false but its permissions are rw-rw-r--) but it always
fails. However, when the servers' owner changed the somefile.txt's owner
to httpd the script could write to it without any problem. Is there any
way that I can make the script write to somefile.txt without changing
its owner to httpd (I even changed the file's permissions to rwx-rwx-rwx
and it still wouldn't let the script write to it)? I really need help
with this and I hope it can be solved easily. 
 
PS. Whatever I did PHP would return false on is_writable, which returned
true when the file's owner changed to httpd.
 
Thank you in advance,
 
Arty2

date() expects a UNIX timestamp to be passed to it. MySQL does not store

dates as a UNIX timestamp in DATE, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP columns. 
strtotime() will take a MySQL timestamp, though, and convert it to a 
UNIX timestamp.

Also look into using DATE_FORMAT() in your query to format the data 
there so you don't have to do anything in PHP.

Not to sure how they work together in a php environment, however another

Re: [PHP] Code and Good Design Methods

[Ray Hunter]

True xsl(t) is a language in and of itself along with xpath, xpointer,
and a host of others.

However, it is safe to point out that this is another alternative that
can be reviewed. It possibly may be the hardest to incorporate; however,
it needs to be mentioned as well.

A client-supplied value isn't going to be too useful - it can be spoofed, or
may not be present. (I believe a Windows browser would set the mime-type
based purely on the file extension, though I haven't tested this myself).

This is the most-benefit least-effort choice if it's available, though I
believe that flag has been changed since 4.32[?]

Re: [PHP] Is it possible to test an uploaded file to check the type?

[Gerard Samuel]

The upload process, already collects info on file types when you upload.
From the manual ->
$_FILES['userfile']['type']

The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this
information. An example would be "image/gif".
So,  check $_FILES['userfile']['type'] against a set of allowed file 
types, and you're set...

In my opinion, no.  But Perl has a big head start on php when it comes 
to system scripts (not to mention that PHP is designed for web based 
applications).  I can easily forsee PHP taking over Perl in the system 
area (course, they may both fall out of favor as more and more people 
are using languages like Python and TCL for system scripts).

Re: [PHP] Private and protected variables in PHP 5?

[Marek Kilimajer]

Don't have the possibilities to try it out now, but I think you are wrong:

Example:

class Parent {
protected $var = "test";
function blah($somevar) {
...
}
}
class Child extends Parent {
...
}
$parent = new Parent;
print $parent->var; //ouputs "test"
This will error out, you access a protected variable that is accessible 
only from the class itself or derived classes (using $this->var).

$child = new Child;
print $child->var; //outputs nothing
Gives error for the same reason as above. But if you declare a public 
method in Child class:
function getVar() {
	return $this->var;
}
, then this would work:
print $child->getVar();
as you can see $var is only accessible by objects that are specifically 
Parents, not Children.
Protected variables are accessible also from derived classes, private 
are not. But both are NOT accessible from outside (e.g. using $a=new A; 
$a->var;), but only from within class methods (using $this->var).

You need a web server in order to run the scripts (unless you are
strictly doing it command line).
I have a tutorial that shows you how to setup Apache with PHP on
Windows (its not OS specific, but it can be applied to any Windows
version).

date() expects a UNIX timestamp to be passed to it. MySQL does not store 
dates as a UNIX timestamp in DATE, DATETIME, or TIMESTAMP columns. 
strtotime() will take a MySQL timestamp, though, and convert it to a 
UNIX timestamp.

Also look into using DATE_FORMAT() in your query to format the data 
there so you don't have to do anything in PHP.

Ok, here's another one.  I've never used the php port of TAL, but I've
used TAL a little bit in Zope and it's really nice.  

Here's a link to an article on the zope site about TAL.  One really
good thing about TAL (below) is that HTML editing tools tools like
Dreamweaver, Amaya or and GoLive, for instance, can be used to edit
the templates.  So the Interface Engineers can do their 'thang' and the
programmers can do their 'thang' with less interference.

Looks like you're trying to run it as a shell script, or a cgi program.
 Replace the sh-bang on the first line with 
eg:


Yeah, you just need to enclose the actual script in the opening/closing 
php tags ().  And to run it as a shell script, you can 
either call the script as...

c:\path\to\php\php.exe filename.php (or just 'php filename.php' if the 
php interperter is in your path), or put the sh-bang as the first line 
(before the opening php tag).

[PHP] php script billing receipt

[Duncan]

Hi,

I just finished a script for an US company and now have to provide them 
with a billing receipt stating my work and the price for it.
google didn't come up with anything usefull, most search results came up 
with billing scripts and not an example text of such a billing receipt.
Does anyone have an example text, which you use when you have to charge 
a client for your work?
I am asking because english isn't my first language and instead of 
making s.th. up in my own words it would surely look better, if I can 
present s.th. which is 100% correct :)

Thanks,
Duncan

[PHP] How does PHP interact when using Java?

[Jan Bro]

Hi,
I've just got PHP working with Java. It connects to a remote Oracle DB
with Java and without the Oracle Client installed on my machine,
it's sure a beauty. What I was wondering, what's behind it, I mean how
does it work? I transfer Objects in Java and get data out. How do PHP
and Java interact, after all they are two different technologies.

I've searched google and pretty much every site I could think off, but
I've found nothing more than a setup tutorial.

By the way, I should mention if you have them interact, Apache + PHP
doesn't like java packages at all. PHP blows off with a severe error
message.

thx

The ezmlm package has a number of problems that make it really annoying
to deal with; it has its own way of interpreting message headers which
isn't much related to any RFC.  The primary problem is the fact that it
considers the "Return-Path" header (i.e. the envelope sender) to be the
authoritative address of the sender, superceding the From and Reply-To
headers.  The only way around it is to "spoof" the envelope sender,
thereby falsifying your headers.  Gahgh.

Now ... if you were to write a class to manage Mailman configs ... that
would be useful.  ;-)
