Re: [PHP] How to get data from database with a click

[Viraj Kalinga Abayarathna]

try java scripts, there is a function called "onChange()", you can attach
this
with your combo box and can submit (SELF) the form upon the content change
in
combobox.

I have done this long time back, i'll send you the coding if still i have
that script in my
archives.

Maybe you should be using the LOAD_FILE() function in your query?

Quote:
LOAD_FILE(file_name)
Reads the file and returns the file contents as a string. The file 
must be on the server, you must specify the full pathname to the file, 
and you must have the FILE privilege. The file must be readable by all 
and be smaller than max_allowed_packet. If the file doesn't exist or 
can't be read due to one of the above reasons, the function returns NULL:

mysql> UPDATE tbl_name
   SET blob_column=LOAD_FILE("/tmp/picture")
   WHERE id=1;

Hi,

I’m coding a function that will create a set of directories using execution
of shell commands within the function. Then the function saves different
sizes of images in each directory. Later in the function I open one of these
directories to list the content in them. The problem is that the directoris
don’t exist when the function is trying to list the content in them. When I
execute the function again with exactly the same parameters there is no
problem, then the directories exist!

I’m thinking that the shell commands are somehow set in some kind of buffer
or queue and are not executed until the rest of the php code is executed?
Could this be true? If anyone has anything to say on this I’d appreciate it.

BTW I'm using RH8.0 and PHP 4.2.2

Hope I can be of any help again .. what you are doing seems rather
complicated... what if you have your checkboxes like:





and the recieving script just doing:

if (isset($_POST['colors']) && is_array($_POST['colors'])) $colors =
join(':', $_POST['colors']);

PHP will only register indexes in the $_POST['colors'] array for the boxes
that are checked, all your colors are in one array, so one simple join would
do the trick .. won't it? The if in front of it is just to prevent any
"undefined index" notices .. might you have E_ALL set as error level.

.. wait .. getting a message .. yeah, there's a better way

$colors = (isset($_POST['colors']) && is_array($_POST['colors'])) ? $colors
= join(':', $_POST['colors']) : '';

now your $colors variable will always be set with a string value.

Hi,

I have a form with checkboxes that POSTs to a PHP script.

What is posted [ from phpinfo() ]:

_POST["color-1"]on
_POST["color-4"]on
_POST["color-6"]on


Parser:

I can work with the output I am getting, however, I am curious why I am

There is more post data than this.

Your logic, as jennifer pointed, isn't probably what your
expecting. You're POST data has a value of 1 somewhere.

Also, ereg is very expensive for doing exact string matches like
you are doing there, best to use the str* functions avaible to do
tasks like this.  ie:

if ('color-' == substr($ThisVar, 0, 6))
 
And then no need to explode into an array and then extract the
value (more overhead).. since the format is known you can do
something like:

$colors .= substr($ThisVar, 6);

HTH,

Curt

Do you have anything else in _POST that's equal to 1?  I didn't look up
order of operation, so I may be off here, but your if condition might not be
doing what you are expecting.  Try using parentheses to group it like this
if(ereg("color-", $ThisVar) AND ($ThisVal=="on" OR $ThisVal==1)){  (I'm
guessing that's what you want).  Why are you using ereg anyway?  You're not
using a regular expression so strstr would work just as well and be slightly
faster.

$_POST;

Also it is now a superglobal in php 4.3 and doesn't need to be
global'ed inside of functions.

Obtain a backtrace of the program (assuming your on unix):

Run gdb with php as the program:

> gdb /path/to/php


when the gdb prompt somes up type the word 'run' with the options
and filename you would normally would pass to php:

(gdb) run [options] phpfile.php

Once it finishes with your crash then type 'bt':

(gdb) bt


To kinda understand what this all means you can read this
documentation under 'Locating which function call cases fault':

That is because the browser is sending in the POST data:
MI=

Thus, php does set it to ''.

Use something like this instead:

  if (strlen($_POST['MI'])) ...


btw, you should really quote your array keys.

Re: [PHP] Function arguments

[Jim Lucas]

Most of my program functions use the first approach

I have what ever must be given because the nature of the functions only
exists because it does certain things.

I then have the last argurment passed be an array.  This will contain all
the data that I might want to use inside the function other then the
required fields.

for example I have a 'BOXTOP()' and 'BOXBOTTOM()' function set.

for the 'BOXTOP()' function I require the first argument but after that is
an array.

with this, I can customize the with of my box and if it isn't given it
defaults to a predefined with.

I can do the same thing with themes, colors, borders, cellpadding,
cellspacing, etc...

Then it will pass this same information to the corresponding 'BOXBOTTOM()'
function.

This keeps things very nice and clean.

inside the 'BOXTOP()' function is a mess, but once it is how you want it,
you will find that it is very easy to work with functions formated like
this.

c.

 

Basically it is just a lean and mean content editor I wrote that saves 
anything (html, php, yada yada-you-name-it) to a database.  I use it 
inside an "environment framework" system I created which controls 
logging in and using the editor. So you go to the 'site', log in, and 
then you can run the editor and whatever other apps you have been given 
user-level access to.  Your access level also determines what content 
you can access.  Low level access users can edit only their own 
content.  "Super elite" users can view/edit all content of all users, 
and as well can edit the HTML/PHP, etc. of the site itself.   As "super 
user elite", you can also select the content editor and edit the source 
code (PHP) of the content editor.  Really, you can edit any application 
that is inside the environment framework system.  ...hmmm.. Based on a 
setting defined for each peice of content in the database, when you 
click 'render', some PHP files may be written to a specified file system 
while other content 'chunks' stay in the database and never rendered out 
as files.  These chunk files can but do not contain PHP... this is used 
for just content or referencing actual content chunks.. so I created a 
very basic macro psuedo language using PHP.. I call it metaChunk but I 
imagine the name may already be taken, otherwise this email acts as my 
copyright to that name according to the Berne Copyright convention.  :)  
LOL ... An example of a content 'chunk' as seen in the editor (just an 
example that does not *really* exist - just typing junk from my head 
that would parse):

Hello !!$:varuser!!
You have logged in !!$:logins!! times
!!displayChunk:menu.js!!
!!displayChunk:userscreen!!
!!includefile:funk.php!!
The output is of course an HTML document that the end-user sees in ye 
olde browser.

This is all a couple of years old and since then I have found others 
that have developed similar things.. lots of CMS systems and macro 
languages.  someone said my metaChunk psuedo lang looks like 
"struts", which I have yet to see for myself or bother to read about.  
So Chunks can include and run PHP, display and render other chunks, and 
display variables.  One day I may expand it.  I'd like to release all 
this to open source but I just cant afford to do that yet, and a 
contract with my employer is another deterent.  I am guessing others out 
there are in the same boat.  I have been PHP'ing since late 98 but 
working on this stuff specifically since 2k.  In my 3 years of 
developing this stuff, I have made a point to not examine open source 
code so as to keep everything 'original'.  I am just an old school 
programmer/ex hacker from the 80's that refuses to rip others off as I 
have already been ripped off a time or two in the past both in the music 
biz and the technology biz, including *major* media companies to say the 
least

If you were to put  inside the database as a 
content 'chunk', it will just display the PHP to the web-browser instead 
of actually executing the code.  All in all this whole deal just makes 
my life easier since I dont need my users being able to exec any code.

Just FYI, this project started in late 2000 after my return from Los 
Angeles where I was recording at Paramount.  I bought a Commodore 64 SX 
at a yard sale for $5.00 US.  I got a copy of CNET 10.0 BBS out of a 
dusty old box and set it up for fun.  It became my reference point for 
the first few months to create a BBS like system for the web which was 
similar to the old days of BBS, unlike the majority of BBS type systems 
on the web today.  Just trying to be unique and different in my own 
old-school way.   I blab about all of this vaguely at my doomstar.com 
site, which implements these tools and my employer is also allowing me 
to reuse my codeBase in applications I develop for their clients.

Note to all:  please send private replies as any further discussion 
could quickly become 'off topic' for the php-general list.  I am 
interested in meeting other like minded people whom already know how to 
code and just want to throw ideas around for fun and inspiration.

Thanks for you interest in my work!  It is greatly appreciated.

So true.. I use PHP a lot to dynamically generate DHTML and JScript,

jscript/dhtml results. My latest project is dynamically generating "cool

A while back, out of sheer boredom, I wrote a PHP script which 
dynamically generates a PHP script using database results, saves it to a

"grabs" and executes the new script.  I havent used that for anything

What you could do is this:

$query = "SELECT field_name FROM table"
$result = mysql( $dbname, $query );

while( $dataRow = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) {
  echo '';

}

On submission, all your checboxes will be here:

$_POST['checkboxes']

and you can iterate through that to see what fields/checkboxes
were set.  No fuss, no muss and no billion if( isset( $checkbox )).

You could name them as:

Then $_POST['choice'] will be an array of the boxes chosen.

then you can loop through it with foreach($_POST[box] as $BoxID => $Value)
.. I assume the recieving script knows what boxes it expects?

code, dereferencing a null pointer, or (in C) inadvertently using a
non-pointer variable as a pointer.

This script has no doubt worked before, so some other codition exists.
Things like this are generally created by infinite loops or improper
variables.

According to http://php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php,

Variable-length argument lists

PHP 4 has support for variable-length argument lists in
user-defined functions. This is really quite easy, using the
func_num_args(), func_get_arg(), and func_get_args() functions.

No special syntax is required, and argument lists may still be
explicitly provided with function definitions and will behave as normal.

If you want to display the tags (actually show ), use 
htmlentities(). If you want to remove the tags, use striptags().

[PHP] Segmentation Fault

[Jackson Miller]

I am running a PHP script from the command line that is returning 
"Segmentation Fault".  I run a lot of script from the command line and have 
never seen this before.  I don't even know where to begin.

I know that PHP is set up to run scripts from the command line and plent of 
other scripts run.

This particular script is not doing anything out of the ordinary.  It is 
opening a database connection, opening a .csv file and inserting rows into 
the database.  How in the world could this Seg Fault?

You will want to use regular expressions and functions associated with

[PHP] Foreach POST VARS problem

[Kris Yates]

It seems to me that this used to work but I guess something has changed 
somewhere between PHP 4.2 and 4.3?

I am running PHP 4.3.2 as an Apache DSO on an FBSD box.  If it is not 
obvious, I am trying to parse checkbox form POST results as seen below:

   $colors="";
   foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $ThisVar=>$ThisVal){
   if(ereg("color-", $ThisVar) AND $ThisVal=="on" OR $ThisVal==1){
   $newVarA=explode("-", $ThisVar);
   $colors.="$newVarA[1]:";
   }
   }
*Warning*: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in 
*/devda1/htdocs/2binteractive.com/htdocs/0new/content/lanskyShopAdmin.php* 
on line 2

I guess I just need to know what this variable name has been changed 
to.  I searched the PHP.NET manual for $HTTP_POST_VARS and got no results.

Thanks in advance & sorry for the dumb question..

[PHP] preg_match issue

[Pascal S.]

I have a function that checks the syntax of a string using preg_match. This
function is used in a loop and always hangs on the same string (7 out of
many more).

However, the function acts as expected when used individually on that string
(ie when the array of strings to loop on is reduced to just the "problem
string".

The string and the preg_match are:

$text = 'C56_3, C55_3, C57_3, C59_3, C58_3, C52_3, C50_3, C53_3, C54_3,

Possibly. It depends on what you're trying to model. We're getting way off
topic for PHP, though.

What you gave above is called an adjacency list model and the other example
given was a nested set (or tree) model. Each has it's advantages and
disadvantages. I recommend counsulting your good friend Google if you're
interested in the details. :)

As you sit there and wait for us to answer, you could have taken the 5
second to run this yourself and test it.

If register_globals is ON, then yes, that's how you do it. You may want to
actually assign a value to $magazine and $company in the first script,
though, if you want to see any results.

If register_globals is OFF, then you should do it this way:

Page 1:
session_start();
$_SESSION['magazine'] = 'some value';
$_SESSION['company'] = 'some other value';

Page 2:

Magazine: 
Company:

[PHP] cron

[Richard Lynch]

Not specific to PHP really, but it all started with a simple PHP script I
was automating...

I've used cron/crontab on a zillion machines, and it always worked
flawlessly.

Well, once I'd get the actual shell commands and permissions right anyway.

But this time...

The cron jobs just aren't having any effect.

crond is running, and has been /etc/rc.d/init.d/crond restart 'ed
tail /var/log/crond shows the jobs happening
/etc/cron.allow and /etc/cron.deny did not exist
adding the user to /etc/cron.allow had no effect
The 'root' user is being used
MAILTO= is set, with no output

Using the simplest stupidest cronline:
0 * * * * echo -e ".\n" | mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it doesn't work.

There are no 'bounced' emails for the 'root' user on this box.

It's as if some higher power is intercepting any cron job and killing it
without letting cron know about it.  Weird.

The machine is a dual 64-bit (quad?) CPU, which I guess I've never used
before, but I'll be damned if I can see how that would screw up cron...

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.20-19.8smp #1 SMP Tue Jul 15 15:01:43 EDT

I'm bemused and defuddled.

[PHP] Acessing session vars

[Ed Curtis]

 I just started using sessions and am having some trouble understanding how
to pull values out of sessions to use in another page.

I set the values as:

session_start();
session_register{'magazine');
session_register('company');

The data is saved as a session because I can read the file located in my

Now I click on a link and go to a different page and I do:

session_start()

Should I be able to retrieve the values in this fashion? I'm using php

Oops after reading my post to your post I see that is what you

the 0 problem can be fixed by checking strlen($_POST[MI]) or

[PHP] redhat 8: upgrade php from 4.2.2 to 4.3.2

Can someone please give me instructions as to what I should do? (Maybe

how to install a new version of php from source.. etc.)


Thanks a lot!

actaually 0-9 will never match that regexp.

print preg_match('/^[[:alpha:]]{1,1}$/', '1');

yields: 0

The reason is that 0-9 is not alpha. You should use [[:alnum:]]
instead. Or better yet /^\w{1,1}$/

Re: [PHP] Category and sub-category logic

[Richard Baskett]

Wouldn¹t it just be easier to do a relationship table as in

Personnel 
emp  ID   parent

'Albert'  1 0
'Bert'2 1
'Chuck'   3 1
'Donna'   4 0
'Eddie'   5 4
'Fred'6 0
'Joe' 7 6

This way you know the ID of the person and the parentID if they have one,
otherwise they are a 0 which means they are the parent..  Seems like this
would be a much easier way of doing it doesn¹t it?  And only one SQL
query...

[PHP] howto set locale only once

[Martin Leja]

Hi,

setting locale with setlocale() to subsequently get localized time strings
e.g. works fine. But this way the setlocale function gets executed every
time. How can i set the locale only once?
Can i specify the locale in the config file php.ini?

I'm using php as apache module on a linux debian system.

RE: [PHP] Determining where a function is called from..

[Wouter van Vliet]

WHOW .. what a great new function in PHP4.3 .. I now have my errorlog
populated with stuff like:

[Fri 15 Aug 2003 17:34] [error] [database] You have an error in your SQL
syntax near 'DELETESBLAH' at line 1
-- -> database->execute() @ HTML/tmp/test.php line 3
 -> database->dberror() @ lib/class.database.inc.php line 63
-- -> logging->error() @ lib/class.database.inc.php line 173

only 'bad' thing is that it converts my function names to all lowercase ..
logging->error() should actually be Logging->Error() .. well, think I'll
have to live with that :(

Thanks you all !

Have you studied this:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.debug-backtrace.php

You may also want to invoke phpinfo() at the place the
error is occuring.

There are more nice functions on:

Nope .. I hadn't studiet the ref.errorfunc.php in this search.. I did some

Thank you all for helping me .. of course, debug_backtrace() was what I

Curious...

empty("0") is going to be true. So, !empty("0") is going to be false, so you
won't "catch" the zero.

Yes, you will have to update all of the right and left numbers to the right
(or higher) than the node where you are inserting. Deleting is basically the
same method done in reverse, but can get complicated when you delete a node
and have to determine what to do with the children.

I'd recommend, if you're really interested in this, to do some searching on
nested set tutorials. You could specifically search for Joe Celko who has
written a lot of information on the topic.

While it seems like a big deal to have to update all of the numbers, it's
really not. It can be done with a single query (with subselects). Yes, it's
more costly than inserting a name into an adjacentcy list model, but it's
worth it for all that you gain from the nested set model.

Maybe it thinks it's the letter O, have you tried using a font that puts a

It's just about possible, but you have to do it by hand. You need the
__LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ magic constants. Eg
function makeerror ($errorstring, $function, $line)
{
die ("Error: $errorstring on line $line in $function");
}
makeerror("Can't connect to database", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__);

I have a fairly standard way of handling errors in classes that I can
discuss in more detail, if you want.

[PHP] PCRE regexp bug ?

[tpc]

I use preg_match to validate the Middle Initial field of a form and so far
it works, except yesterday a user submitted a "0" (zero) as a middle
initial!  My regexp is:

if (!empty($_POST[MI]) && (preg_match('/^[[:alpha:]]{1,1}$/', $_POST[MI]) == 0))

I tested it with 0-9 and my regexp catches every digit except 0.  Curious...

RE: [PHP] Re: regex problem

[Wouter van Vliet]

So, what you want is to pretty much use this regex

/^(.*)([^\/]+)\/([^\/]+)$/

when matched on this URI, the backreferences will contain

\\1 partner/
\\2 name
\\3 contact.html
\\4 .html

> > partner/name/contact.html

I have not tested it, but I just guess it will work ;) Wanna know why? I'll
tell you :D

- It first looks at the beginning of the string and will go on untill a the
next pair of () start (partner/)
- That happens there where there is a string containing any character, but
not a slash (partner)
- as a seperator another slash is added
- it starts to match the last part of the url and looks up untill the end.
Again a string containing no slashes

Hope it does do what I expect it to do .. ;)

Re: [PHP] Graduated fills using PHP Images

It's possible. I have just been experimenting with
it using ImageCreateTrueColor().

See the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatetruecolor.php

You still have to use ImageColorAllocate() to get
a color but you can deallocate it right after usage
and you can use as many colors as you like (whereas
with normal 256 color images you can't use more
than 256). The process didn't noticably slow my
1 Ghz PC down.

I made some nice fades in two directions too:
http://www.chipdir.nl/adprov/adb/cdb/468_60/08en.png

BTW. I made it look like the upper text has been pressed
downward into the material and the lower text has been
pressed upward out of the material. (Using alpha
channel coloring.)

Let me know if you want to see the source code...

RE: [PHP] Determining where a function is called from..

[Wouter van Vliet]

Thanks David,

I noticed the __LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ magic constants too, but they don't
really contain the values I was looking for, as they have the current
function and line in it. But what I want my Logging class (I have one too
:D) to display is what I am about to illustrate with an example:

script: index.php
-
01  $Database->connect('host', 'database', 'username', 'password');
(...)
20  $Database->execute('DELETE news WHERE id IN ()');

-> this would produce an error in my Database class, error in sql syntax

script: class.database.inc.php
--
  2 class Database {
  3
  4 var $C; # Connection resource
  5 var $S; # Settings
  6 var $L; # Log Object
  7 var $R; # Result
  8
  9 function Database($Host, $Database, $Username, $Password) {
 10 global $Log;
 11
 12 $this->S = Array( 'host'=> $Host,
 13   'database'=> $Database,
 14   'username'=> $Username,
 15   'password'=> $Password
 16   );
 17
 18 $this->L = $Log;
 19
 20 return true;
 21 }
(...)
 55 function execute() {
 56 $this->connect(false);
 57
 58 # Prepare
 59 $Query = $this->prepare(func_get_args());
 60 $this->dblog($Query);
 61
 62 # Execute the query
 63 $this->R['resource'] = @mysql_query($Query,
$this->C) or $this->dberror();
 64 $this->R['affectedrows'] =
@mysql_affected_rows($this->C) or $this->dberror();
 65
 66 return $this->R['affectedrows'];
 67 }
(...)
171 function dberror() {
172 if ($String = mysql_error($this->C)) {
173 $OldType = $this->L->setLogType(L_STDOUT);
174 $this->L->Error('[database] '.$String);
175 $this->L->setLogType($OldType);
176 };
177 }
178 };

I could fairly live with passing __LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ at some places,
but not in my index.php (seperating front- and backend). What I want
dberror() to pass to my logging module is something like "You have an error
in your sql syntax at line 1, called from index.php on line 20". The first
part being just the mysql error, after the comma from where the errorfull
query was called ..

Thanks once more,
Wouter

Ps. or am I really wanting too much now?

It's just about possible, but you have to do it by hand. You need the
__LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ magic constants. Eg

function makeerror ($errorstring, $function, $line)
{
die ("Error: $errorstring on line $line in $function");
}

makeerror("Can't connect to database", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__);

I have a fairly standard way of handling errors in classes that I can
discuss in more detail, if you want.

This should be the fully qualified domain name or IP address ofhte
SMTP server that you want to use. If you look in your configuration
in Outlook, you should be able to find the SMTP server that you have
access to. But note that if that server requires SMTP AUTH (username
and password to send mail), you can;t use PHP's mail function
directly,. You'll need to use one of the mail classes.

This is correct. It should be the email address from which teh mail
should be sent. I beleive PHP uses this as the SMTP MAIL FROM
parameter (not to be confused with the From: mail header ).

heh, that is true. Although I havn't benched marked it but it
prolly is somewhere around .01 difference :)

your not the one that needs to be flamed, it seems that everytime a
topic of 'regex' is posted there is always 20+ in the thread with
101% of them not doing what the person wants. Not to mention the
OT'ness of the post.

Mod rewrite is a powerful tool and you can accomplish what you are
doing several different ways.  As you can tell most people have
been giving attempts to fix your problem without success. This is
because it is not entirely clear what you need done.

Good idea,

but does not work either - surprisingly! -

There should be a clean way with regex for this task.

RE: [PHP] Category and sub-category logic

[Mark]

I'm trying to get a handle on this algorithm as well. If you add
additional children to a parent record, doesn't that require
renumbering all the rgt and lft values in the lineage? For example
(table shamelessly stolen from a website):

Personnel 
 emp lft  rgt 
 ==
 'Albert'  1   12 
 'Bert'23 
 'Chuck'   4   11 
 'Donna'   56 
 'Eddie'   78 
 'Fred'9   10 

If I want to add 'Joe' as a subordinate to 'Fred', doesn't that mean
I have to change the lft values for Fred, Chuck, and Albert? Yes,
deleting definitely seems easier. I'm curious about adding...

[PHP] Determining where a function is called from..

[Wouter van Vliet]

Howdy Fellas,

I've got this problem .. not really a problem but still some thing to my
disliking. For a project I wrote some database handling class, no big deal.
When a function from this module is called with a query containing an error,
or some other error occurs inside this class it reports to my that an error
occured inside that class. "Line blabla of class.database.inc.php". But what
I really want to know is on what line the $Database->select() or such was
called so that I can effectively trace the error.

So, for effective error reporting I would like to know if there are
functions or constants containing
- the script-name a user-function is called from
- the linenumber of this script a user-function is called from

- And maybe it would even be doable to get an entire stack-trace of files
and lines and functions to the point an error (or any other thing I would
like to trace to) occurrs.

Thanks,
Wouter

ps. or do I want too much now?

Re: [PHP] Turck MMCache Feedback, Please

[Jason Sheets]

Hello Andrei,

I've been using Turck MMCache for over 6 months now.  I use it on 
several severs including FreeBSD (2), Windows (1) and Linux (3).  I've 
been very happy with Turck MMCache and as of the last few releases it is 
actually faster than Zend's product though not by very much (granted 
could be within margin of error but it is still very nice and neat). 

Turck also has the Turck Loader for clients that don't want the full 
power of Turck MMCache but need to be able to run Turck MMCache encoded 
scripts.

You can use the command line php file to encode scripts  or I also wrote 
Turck MMCache PHPCoder, a web based front end to Turck MMCache that also 
allows you to restrict execution and prepend/append code to each file 
such as licensing control code or copyright stuff 
(http://phpcoder.shadonet.com).

Bottom line I don't have a machine running PHP I don't have Turck 
MMCache installed on and I have aeen a tremendous performance increase 
since I installed it.
