Would this still work even if "safe_mode" is on?

Ternary conditional operator:

echo()'s shortcut syntax:

  http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.echo.php

The only two that I know of... I think.

[PHP] [Newbie Guide] For the benefit of new members

[tech]

=
This message is for the benefit of new subscribers and those new to PHP.  
Those who  do not want to be bothered just filter out the [Newbie Guide] 
mails. Please feel free to add more points and send to the list.
==
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en 
first. You can download a copy and use it offline also.

2. If you can not get answer here try http://www.google.com next. Try 
searching for "php YOUR QUERY" and you may be lucky to get an answer within 
the first 10 results.

3. Glancing/searching through the list archive at 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general , you can find many of the 
common topics discussed repeatedly and can get your answer from those 
discussions. 

4. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead 
of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful 
trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and 
check whether you get what you expected. 

After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following 
steps 1, 2 & 3) and ask for help.

5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like 
"Help!!", "A Question" etc.  Especially avoid blank subjects. 

6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing 
list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replying to an existing 
thread and replacing the subject and body with your message.

7. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes 
place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to 
access the users'  computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using 
PHP. You need to go for JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript 
list.

8. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved
your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their
email when posting solutions. By posting your solution you're helping
the next person with the same question. [contribued by Chris W Parker]

9. Ask smart questions http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Or, you can just declare it inside you're  tags (as mentioned previously). Also, 
depending on the charset you're using, you might need "shift_jis" instead of "euc-jp". 
("euc-jp" is recommended though esp. if data is coming from a database.)

Quanta works fine for me. ( http://quanta.sourceforge.net/ ) And you don't have to buy 
it ;) Actually, as long as you can change the default font used (and assuming you have 
the fonts installed), *most* editors should do just fine.

Temporary tables are only accessible from the MySQL connection that created 
them.  Using pconnect it was a crap shoot as to whether you would get the 
same connection on the next page load.

Temporary tables should only be used (from within PHP) for the current page 
view.

I did this blog where I create a temporary table to store entries while editing
them (spell checking, preview, etc). The problem I was having is that sometimes
the temporary table is created sometimes not. For every transaction with MySql I
used mysql_pconnect(). Since I changed to using mysql_connect and regular tables
instead of temporary tables everything seems to work fine, has anyone experienced

Well I suppose that depends on exactly what you are looking to get out
of it.  Conferences can be many things.  For instance, you have an
opportunity to meet people and network (with possible employers,
clients, partners, and the like).  Also, you can learn A LOT in three
days.  And for some people a classroom learning style is better then a
book.  And for us vulcans a book is all we need.  It's all about the
individual.

These gatherings are most likely for people sponsored by their employers, don't
imagine participants come out of it $500 smarter then they went in. If it makes
you feel good to hang out for 5 minutes with "the big guys" then borrow money and
go, if learning is your goal, a good book and mostly practice will get you there.
I used to read about these RedHat certification 2-3 days sessions for around
$2000, does anyone in his/hers right mind believe he/she can become a Linux system
administrator in 3 days?

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP|Con insane pricing

I've been hearing a lot lately about online donations. People setting up
paypal or whatnot accounts to have people donate for new boobies, new
clothes, new whatever. Maybe you could set up a paypal donation fund for
people to help pay your way there. Now admittedly it's not going to be
all the rave like chipping in for a new set of boobies, but hey, who
knows, maybe you'll get to go to the conference AND get a new set of
boobies.

Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] PHP|Con insane pricing

[Jeremy Johnstone]

Let me also say, that I fully think their price is fair. It's right in
line with most other conferences (if not cheaper). I was just clarifying
that the $495 price is not all inclusive. I wish I would be able to
attend, but unfortunately money is tight right now for me, and I can't
afford it. I most likely will be speaking at the next one (assuming they
accept my submission when it comes time) and money won't be an issue.

P.S. - In regards to the email below, if you did that you would have to
factor in extra gas money, and $10 a day for WIFI access from the hotel.

[PHP] Oracle 8i problem connection with pear

[ORLANDO POZO]

  Hello, mailing-list people, I need help about connect 
the RDBMS Oracle8i through PEAR library, look this code

Test DB Class - PEAR


NAMEPHONEADDRESS

  //connect
  require_once('DB.php');
  $db 
=DB::connect("oci8://system:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/orcl");
  // message
  if (DB::iserror($db)) {
die($db->getMessage());
  }
  //issue the query
  $sql ="SELECT *
 FROM S_CUSTOMER";
  $q =$db->query($sql);
  // message
  if (DB::iserror($q)) {
die($q->getMessage());
  }
  //generate table
  while ($q->fetchInto($row)) {
  ?>
  




  }
  ?>
  
  

  When I execute this code, I receive this output:

  DB Error: extension not found
  NAME PHONE ADDRESS
  I think that is a problem with the DSN in the 
connection (oci8://system:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/orcl)

  I put oci8 for the db type, user: system, pass: 
manager, 
and db: orcl
I could connect oracle8i with PHP, but using ODBC methods, 
I want now connect oracle8i through the PEAR library.

  If someone know, please give me a hand, thanks.

[PHP] Language filter

[Kris Reid]

Hi All

I have a website with a standard html form on it. Every now and then some jerk submits 
the form with some dirty words.
This is then seen by my clients which as you can imagine is very unprofessional.

I want to build a language filter but can't think of good way of doing in it.
The best idea I found on the net was to have a DB of dirty words.
Then when someone submits the form check their entree against the DB.
This seems a little labour intensive and won't work if someone submits something like 
youraf*&!head.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Kris

[PHP] simple online form stuck at !isset($first) condition

[Wei Wang]

hi, all,

I have this code at http://weiwang.freeshell.org/formprac.php and the execution kept 
stuck at
the condition part of:
if(!isset($first)) {
show_form();
}

Even if I input some text into both field and click submit, the execution wouldn't go 
to any other
conditional branch and be stuck at this one. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It's not about parenting but about money management.  It's pretty cool

No kids.  Full time programmer.  Putting as much away as possible and
hoping to retire at 40.

Well it does depend on the fame (or infamy) of the speaker.  If you want
Bill Clinton to speak for you be prepared to cough up a couple hundred
grand.  If you want somebody else well::shrugs::

But remember that all expenses paid part.  Let's say a meal costs $5 a
person (to be cheap).  That's not a lot of money.  But rooms can cost
upwards of $100 a night (probably at least $60 even with the discount). 
So that plus food + everything else for the speaker can add up.

Of course, I haven't seen the finances of this conference.  But I would
suspect that $495 is a reasonable price.

I'm sure that, like most conferences and trainings, the assumption is that
people will attend who are either employed in the subject area -- in which
case they need to get their employers to ante up -- or are independent
contractors in the subject area -- in which case they need to treat it as a
legitimate business expense for tax purposes.  It's not a "friends of PHP"

If you consider the average salary for a computer programmer is probably
$40k - $50k (at least in the US) this is not insane.  (Heck, it's less

You can  lazily suppress errors on the fly like so

the @ will suppress error messages being sent directly to the browser.

Then put someVal in both forms. When you submit a form, only the data in the

Re: [PHP] multiple FORMS on same page problem.

[CPT John W. Holmes]

You can only use one form, as you've figured out. You can have PHP determine
the action for each button, though..

In a form with two buttons, say names "submit1" and "submit2", only one
variable will be set when the form is submitted, the actual button that was
clicked. So you can use logic like this in PHP.

http://www.yourdomain.com/page5.php";);
}

Now, on "page5.php", to get $_POST back, just do:

$_POST = $_SESSION['post'];

That's assuming you have session_start() on each page and you don't have
anything in $_POST already on "page5.php" that you want to retain.

RE: [PHP] multiple FORMS on same page problem.

[Vail, Warren]

I don't know of any rule that says you cannot have two submit button in the same form.

Of course, if you need to know which was clicked, you will either need to name them 
differently or detect their values in your form processing routine.  If the button is 
clicked that should take you to another form simply do a redirect (after processing 
all $_POST information);

header("Location: new page");
exit;   // I always use this because 
processing continues after header

good luck,

This won't work is your PHP code has comments using /* */ syntax in it
already.  I always just through an if(false){ } around huge portions of
mixed content that I want to comment out.  Unless you have unbalanced curly
braces in the chunk you want to comment out, it should work.

Remove the chunk of mixed code and save it into an external PHP file,

that one line in or out as needed.

/* and */ appears to work:


HTML


That'll just display "bye"... You just have to start the comment in PHP mode
and end it in PHP mode. Any breaking out of PHP mode to display HTML will be
commented out.

If you have mostly HTML with some PHP thrown in that you want to comment
out, HTML comments will work, also, so long as you start the comment in HTML
mode and end it in HTML mode, like this:


HTML

HTML

Which will just display "HTML" twice. The center part is commented out.

probably the easiest way is to just do this: 




that way php will take everything inside the  tags and comment them 
out, regardless of if they are html or php or whatever.

hi,

RE: [PHP] What is wrong with this code ?

[Carl Furst]

If should use double equals for comparison.. if ($doWork == 1) { etc here}.
Of course doing multiple tests like this you are better off using switch
case...


Switch ($doWork) {
Case 0:
Exit;
Break;
Case 1:
DoOne($arguments);
Break;
Case 2:
DoTwo($arguments);
Break;
}
each number after the case statement is the value that $doWork will be
tested against.. look up Switch in the php manual, it's behavior can be a
bit weird especially if you forget to "break" if you don't break it's like
an OR statement/gate;

This is sloppy, put the quotes around the key string "doWork".

You just assigned 0 to $doWork, try using 0 == $doWork

Once again, assignment when comparison is probably intended.

Yet again with the assignment.

Another assignment, but now it's a string, not even any consistency.

Looks like you're a coding slob IMHO.

[PHP] PHP|Con insane pricing

[Jeremy Brand, B.S.]

Does anyone know a way to attend the PHP|con west as an observer 
in Santa Clara, CA, US on Oct. 23rd without spending tons of ca$h?

The pricing seems insane, and geared towards people with lots of 
spare money...

I would love to hear specifically the Advanced track on Oct. 23 
(Michael Radwin, Sterlin, Thies, George Schlossnagle and JimW), 
but I'm not going to shell out $495 (the cheapest non-student 
rate) for it.

Thanks,

[PHP] Re: installation help

[Shadow]

You didn't configure something right. I would go over the install steps
again.  I installed Foxserv on NT without IIS but I did install 4.3.2 on
Windows 2003 server and found the instructions here a god-send.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php
Basically you need to make sure that php.ini is in \windows and
php4isapi.dll in \windows\system32.  I also had to configure IIS to allow me
to run scripts.

[PHP] Updated PayPal IPN class for PHP

[Jeremy Johnstone]

Unfortunately it seems PayPal has broke IPN processing for PHP users
recently. This is important news because a good majority of the people
using IPN with a PHP script are no longer able to automatically process
payments, and PayPal offers nothing to help PHP users who are having
trouble. In fact they claim that they changed nothing and that it is the
user's fault that it suddenly stopped working one day. The problem
actually is that PayPal now seems to require your IPN script to follow a
http redirection. After trying almost everything, within reason, to
avoid this redirection, it seems no matter whether you use GET or POST
and HTTP or HTTPS they force you to follow the redirect. The solution to
this problem is to use cURL so PHP can follow the redirection and thus
get the VERIFIED or INVALID response from PayPal. A new PHP class which
works perfectly with the current PayPal IPN (and should always work even
if they fix the bug) is available at http://www.scriptdevelopers.net. It
is a modified version of the class by Pineapple Technologies which is
commonly used all over the Internet and is a drop in replacement for
their paypal_ipn.php class. If you use a class named paypal_ipn.php,
then most likely you will need to get this updated version. The script
is licensed under the GPL.

I was recently involved in installing PHP 4.3.2 on a NT 4 server with IIS 4.
We followed all of the installation instructions, but whenever we tried to
run a test script through a browser to see if PHP was installed correctly,
all the page did was load.  And load and load and load.  It never displayed
the text it was supposed to, and it never errored out.  Anybody have any
ideas?

I also had phpinfo run as a script through the server, with the same
results.

It's not very clear what you mean with "dreamweaver extension for 
smarty". Smarty in not a piece of dreamweaver. Smarty is a standalone 
project, not made bi Macromedia.
Usully template files used by smarty use .tpl or .html extension. But 
that is not something special related to dreaweaver.

[PHP] Oracle8i PEAR Connection problem

[ORLANDO POZO]

 Hello, mailing-list people, I need help about connect 
the RDBMS Oracle8i through PEAR library, look this code

Test DB Class - PEAR


NAMEPHONEADDRESS

 //connect
 require_once('DB.php');
 $db 
=DB::connect("oci8://system:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/orcl");
 // message
 if (DB::iserror($db)) {
   die($db->getMessage());
 }
 //issue the query
 $sql ="SELECT *
FROM S_CUSTOMER";
 $q =$db->query($sql);
 // message
 if (DB::iserror($q)) {
   die($q->getMessage());
 }
 //generate table
 while ($q->fetchInto($row)) {
 ?>
 
   
   


 }
 ?>
 
 

 When I execute this code, I receive this output:

 DB Error: extension not found
 NAME PHONE ADDRESS
 I think that is a problem  with the  DSN in the 
connection (oci8://system:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/orcl)

 I put oci8 for the db type, user: system, pass: manager, 
and db: orcl 

I could connect oracle8i with PHP, but using ODBC methods, 
I want now connect oracle8i through the PEAR library.

 If someone know,  please give me a hand, thanks.

[PHP] Win2K and trans_sid

[Adam H. Pendleton]

I am running Apache 2.0.47 with PHP 4.3.3 on a Windows 2000 server, and 
I am having some trouble getting cookie-less sessions to work.  I've 
search around trying to figure out how to get this to work, but most of 
what i have found is people going to other way.  To be clear, I am 
trying to use PHP sessions *without* cookies (none at all).  To do this 
I have set use_cookies to 0 and use_trans_sid to 1, but all that does is 
break sessions altogether.  Is there a way to get this to work?  What am 
I doing wrong?  Is what I am trying to do even possible with the PHP 
session handler?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

>From the different PHP mailing lists archives i found

solution. Let me know if you guys know any better
solution for printing the reports.

Currently i am testing report module with the FPDF
library. My main goal is to print addresses
information of all the users. Now the critical part is
how can i set the page break if some user's record is
not completed on the particular page(Meaning, some of
the addresses information for particular user on the
first page and remaining on the second page). I would
like to set page break in the PDF when such kind of
conditions occur. Does any one know about it?

I didn't see this the first time, you should be calling:

 I think too that application/pagemaker should work for .p65 and .pm7
as well as .pmd (Page Maker Document). I think .qpx is a Quark Express

.pm5application/x-pagemaker
I'd guess that can be extended to pm7 and 65 - I've seen x-pagemaker5 as

pmd is also pagemaker according to filext.com, as well as some software I've

QXP is a good one, and you may need to ask the manufacturer of the software

You'll have to build one.

If you know what characters are causing trouble, you could just use 
str_replace on them. Or you could use htmlspecialchars() and then run 
str_replace to convert < and > back into brackets.

You could also use get_html_translation_table() to get the conversions, 
remove the < and > conversion elements of the array and then use strtr() 
to do the conversion.

Re: [PHP] navigation question

Thanks for your reaction,

You are right about your conclusion how I think the code should work. I am
indeed trying to run the script off one server (my_domain1) and then
attempting to "feed" the function a directory structure off another server
(my_domain2).

I suppose the function opendir() only work for a directory at the same
server. When someone can tell me what I can do best. Because I just started
with PHP and I read this code in an example, I realy need some help if you

Having done some coding for the print industry i can tell you that pm7

qxp and .pmd though.

RE: [PHP] Sessions doubt

[Javier Tacon]

In PHP >= 4.3.3 versions, start a session when you have a session started already, 
causes a notice error and the second call is ignored.

In older versions, the second call is ignored without errors (assumes the first 
session started)

Put this to your top.php:

@session_start();

And then, remove all the session_start from the others php files, when you are done, 
remove the eat '@' in the session_start() (isn't smart)

Hi,
I have a small (simple?) doubt, if you know the answer kindly reply.

I have a top.php and bottom.php template files so that the whole site has
pretty much the same look and feel, then I have around 150 scripts that call
this files such as index.php or something.php like so:



I am relying heavily on sessions, right now its become an habit for me to
have session_start(); on every page as I start to write it, but have started
seeing some funny results as I have a session_start(); in both the calling
file and the top.php

do I really need to have it in both or just one?
or does it really matter at all?
 if just one it should be the file that is calling top.php right?

Thanks,

Has anyone experienced exclamation points ! in their emails from no where?
This is a really strange thing I have been noticing lately in emails I send
to myself via PHP.  When I send an email from 2 different machines using 2
different smtp servers, I still get the exclamations in the email.

Any ideas what on earth is causing that?

Example:

the!ir is an ex!clamation in my e!mail that I did not pu!t there.

Why??

[PHP] Re: php sockets was Re: [PHP] socket_write eats data - solved

[Daniel Souza]

Probably your problems about "i can send about seven messages per second"
may be relationed to
OS's tcp connection stream buffering... try to flush every fd after write to
it. I wrote a multi-threaded (pcntl_fork())
application in phpcli using many sockets and they worked well... array
iterations are fast and easy too, as they have
only one level... so I believe that this is really relationed to socket
flushing stuffs...you can also use select() to determine
when a fd is ready for write and implement a "write spool"... only a ideia,
but probably will spent more time with the same
results... well.. flush then may resolve it.

Subject: [PHP] Branching to a page


Back in the earlier days of PHP, pages were not cached so I developed a 
method of "branching to a page" by opening a new socket.  Since it has 
worked over the years in quite a variety of applications, I have not 
changed...but maybe I should.  Are there any glaring deficiencies with 
doing this:

  // Verify the Session ID
  if ($session_id) {
  ...
  } else {
bounce_post($server, $path, $url, "abort.php", "");
exit;
  }

Where "bounce" is defined as

  function bounce_post($server, $path, $url, $page, $info) {
$http = new http;

$fp = $http->http_fpost($server, $path . $page, $info);
if($fp) {
  print '';
  fpassthru($fp);
};
  }

Re: [PHP] navigation question

[Petre Agenbag]

The function is correct, BUT, it looks like you are trying to run this
script off one server and then attempting to "feed" the function a
directory structure off another server.

Your code will work "as-is" if you run the script off my_domain2, but it
won't work if you run it off my_domain asking for a directory structure
located on my_domain2.

I am not sure that opendir() can work like this, and you would probably
need to look at some remote file functions like the ftp functions...
