Nope. As others have pointed out, your Location header is improperly
formed.

However, your immediate problem is that, regardless of whether $foo ==
'something', you *always* set the Location header to to_previous_page.php.

So, even if you set it to to_another_page.php previously, you're
overwriting it.

Hope that helps.

The reason it works after you put die() after calling your first
header() is because once you send the location header, you can't send
other stuff.  Using die() causes script execution to end, which lets the
header work.  So put something in there that causes script execution to
end (e.g., exit()).

The proper code (including the properly-formed URL mentioned by others)
is something like:

   if($foo == 'something'){
   header('Location: http://www.example.com/to_another_page.php') ;
   exit();
   }else
   {
do another thing in here
   }
 
   header('Location: http://www.example.com/to_previous_page.php');
   exit(); // for good measure

Also it should be an absolute URL otherwise it might break on some (standards 
compliant only) browsers:

  header("Location: http://www.example.tld/another_page.php";);

Headers have to be pretty accurate, or it will cause trouble.
And your redirect header is not quite correct.
It should be this:
header("Location: another_page.php");
and NOT header("Location:another_page.php");

What you need here is a space between "Location:" and the URL.

Your code is (mostly) fine. The only part that didn't work is the final
"the form has been submitted" section because it comes after the HTML
page end. Move it to the start. Also, you don't have a closing form
tag.

The following is your code, changed slightly.. try it and see but it
works perfectly here (PHP 4.3.2, Apache, Windows). I added the echo

[PHP] weird header() (bug may be)

[adwinwijaya]

Hello php-generaler's ,

  I have a script like this :

  if($foo == 'something'){
  header('Location:to_another_page.php') ;
  }else
  {
   do another thing in here
  }

  header('Location:to_previous_page.php');


  I got a problem ... when $foo == 'something' .. it wont redirect me
  to to_another_page.php  but if I put die(); after calling
  header(); .. it will work ...

  is this the bug ?

  I use php 4.3.4 ... and Apache 2.x

Both can do it, but it depends heavily on what type of date format it 
is. If it's a normal mysql date or datetime (not a timestamp) then you 
can grab it, then do:

$seconds = strtotime($field1) - strtotime($field2);

strtotime() does a good job of converting just about every type of 
formatted date.

If you're using a timestamp, there aren't any deliminators. I'm not sure

if strtotime() will parse those as you want. In this case (and the 
other, actually) you can easily use SQL.

SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(field1) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(field2) AS secondsBetween

FROM table

What exactly do you mean by "the regular libraries included"? Basically using 
the PEAR libraries will save you from re-inventing many wheels, the downside 
being the extra overhead required. www.phpclasses.org is also a great source 
of classes/libraries.

If it can't even do that then it's not surprising it can't handle

not your code.
Stick "echo phpinfo()" at the top of your form code - does it work?

I guess because the times when a value will be an array vs. a straight
variable are probably so small that it's un-necessary overhead on
PHP's behalf to have to treat every single element as a potential
array. Far easier to just stick [] on the end and tell PHP it is.

I recently encountered this issue and as far as I can tell it has
nothing to do with PHP.  In my case it was caused by some arcane problem
which occurred when installing the os and software (Apache, PHP,
PostgreSQL, etc.) straight from a RedHat cd instead of downloading and
compiling the source files.

Everything worked fine except POST method uploads.  Whenever I attempted
to upload a file it would not upload properly, and if I was using a
textarea to post a large chunk of code to a page for processing the code
would also get mangled somewhere after clicking the submit button and
before it was accessible via the $_POST array in the receiving script.

The only thing I was able to surmise was that the problem had something
to do with the "vanilla install" (as my sysadmin described it) of
Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL.  When I moved the project I was working on
to its permanent home (an actual Dell server with everything compiled
properly from the source) the problem disappeared altogether.

I also tested it on a number of other production machines here and it
worked fine on all of them.

If possible I would suggest you take your code to another machine and
test it out there as I would wager that the problem is within your
system, not your code or PHP settings.

I know this isn't an answer per se but I hope that is of some use and
will save wasted time in trying to figure out the problem.

Cheers,
Pablo.

[PHP] Re: replace ' with "

[Kim Steinhaug]

Depending on the use you might also want to look at this one :
htmlentities()

If working with mySQL inserts consider this aswell :
mysql_escape_string()

And finally, javascripts in HTML doesnt like either the ' " or the
equivilant htmlentities. I just wash them away direkt if i need to
output something into a javascript statement, eg.
   

The above example caused me alot of headaches when the text inside '
contained either ' or ", and even the entities also messed up.

Re: [PHP] mutliple select form not passing multiple values

[Ben Ramsey]

Ah-ha!  I missed that, and I always do.  Let's hope I don't anymore. 
While we're on the subject, why is PHP set up this way?  Why can't it 
just add the elements to the array automatically, since adding the 
square brackets to one's HTML form name is not a standard practice?

[PHP] mutliple select form not passing multiple values

[Ben Ramsey]

I'm running PHP 5.0b3, so I'm not sure whether this is an issue with the 
version of PHP I'm running.

I've got a select field in a form that is allowing multiple selects:


Banner Manager
Calendar of Events
Contacts
Elections
Emergency Notices
Employment Opportunites
FAQs
Files & Downloads
Image Gallery
Links
Meetings & Agendas
News & Articles
Notices of Public 
Hearing
Procurement 
Opportunities
Publications
Weather Information


I'm posting the data to another script, in which I have the following:

print_r($_POST);

The only thing that is being saved to $_POST['modules'] is the last 
value (15).  When I count($_POST['modules']), I only get 1, so I know 
that it's not passing back an array of numbers like it should.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi,

basically, gzip is only about compression of data. If you want compress

width gzip.

This code:

yields this result:

Why? GMT should be 5 hours ahead of EST, not 5 behind. Right? What am I

Are you perchance running your script on a machine with an active firewall? I had all 
sorts of session-related problems and spent ages trying to figure out what was wrong 
with my code until eventually I read somewhere that ZoneAlarm might interfere with 
sessions. I shut down ZA and — guess what? — there wasn't anything wrong with my 
code after all. Now whenever I need to test scripts involving sessions I disconnect 
from 
the Internet and shut down ZoneAlarm.

Hope this helps,

Erik

echo time() isn't an input value.

If it can't even do that then it's not surprising it can't handle
$_POST values either, there is something else at play here and it's
not your code.

Stick "echo phpinfo()" at the top of your form code - does it work?

If it doesn't even echo out time() then you have something very wrong

Your code is (mostly) fine. The only part that didn't work is the final
"the form has been submitted" section because it comes after the HTML
page end. Move it to the start. Also, you don't have a closing form
tag.
The following is your code, changed slightly.. try it and see but it
works perfectly here (PHP 4.3.2, Apache, Windows). I added the echo
time() line so you can see if the page reloads or not:


";
echo time();
}

Just FYI, strtotime() provides date/time validation for free - check the
input using strtotime() and date('Y-m-d H:i:s') to get it in the form you
want.

An alternate, simpler PCRE would be:
'/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}/'

Though note that unlike strtotime(), it won't tell you whether the date is
illegal.

Post your code and more importantly, turn register globals off again
and learn to code without them on - they're a security nightmare.

[PHP] Getting image size for a compressed flash movie

[Shaunak Kashyap]

Is there any way in PHP to get the height and width attributes of a
compressed flash movie? I have tried getimagesize() which seems to work for
uncompressed flash movies but will not work for compressed movies.

I think it means you need to put a delimiter around your regex...
Typically you would use slashes (preg_match("/regex/")) but the character

[PHP] Using a perl regex

[Verdon Vaillancourt]

Hi,

I am trying to use a perl regular expression to validate a form field where
I am allowing someone to edit a sql date-time stamp in the format of
'2004-02-05 21:43:34'.

I have found a pattern that works (at
http://www.regexplib.com/RETester.aspx?regexp_id=93) which is;

20\d{2}(-|\/)((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))(-|\/)((0[1-9])|([1-2][0-9])|(3[0-1]))(T|\s)
(([0-1][0-9])|(2[0-3])):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])

However, when I try to use it in a php if statement like this;

if 
(!ereg("20\d{2}(-|\/)((0[1-9])|(1[0-2]))(-|\/)((0[1-9])|([1-2][0-9])|(3[0-1]
))(T|\s)(([0-1][0-9])|(2[0-3])):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])",$date_time)) {
echo "You must provide a date and time in the format -MM-DD
HH:MM:SS";
echo "";
}


It doesn't match and allow valid strings through.

Any suggestions?

TIA, 
Verdon

Ps. Please cc me in any replies to list as I am in digest mode.

[PHP] Newbie questions

[James Marcinek]

Hey Everyone,

I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask:

1.) Are there built in libraries to connect to DB2?
Nothings clear from the documentation I've read. I see
that there's libraries for Oracle, Informix, MySQL. 

2.) If there is a DB2 library(support or whatever its
called, someone enlighten me please with the correct
term!) does anyone know if the Red Hat rpm comes with
the option to support this turned on?

3.) I'm just coming across some information about
PEAR. My question to this: Is it better to use PEAR
than the regular libraries included?

Anything else anyone could tell me would be great!

Thanks,

James

RE: [PHP] Sessions on Win2k

On 11 February 2004 16:39, Alex Hogan contributed these pearls of wisdom:

> Session_start() has to be the first thing at the top of the

Er, no.  session_start() itself generates headers, so it doesn't matter whether it 
goes before or after other headers.  It also doesn't matter how much code is before 
your session_start(), so long as none of it generates any actual page content of any 
kind (and that includes whitespace).

So it could be perfectly valid to have a session_start() on line 768, if everything 
preceding it is PHP initializations and logic -- and the error message isn't about 
headers being output at the wrong place, so I'm guessing that isn't it.

Unfortunately, I don't have any real idea what *could* be the problem here, but I 
wanted to stop the OP haring off on a wild goose chase...!

Re: [PHP] HELP: Nested include(...)'s take relative paths not intuitively

[Samuel Ventura]

Hi there again people,

I looks like this thread turned into a 'include' usage
discussion. Well, nothing wrong with that.

The conclusion seems to be that ALL level of nested
included inherit current directory reference for
relative paths from the very first script ( that in
$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME] ) that calls them. 

I just wanted to clarify my need, even I know some one
may think it is not a good idea to depend in nested
includes in higher level subdirs for default/inherited
script behaviour.

I came to this question when trying to design a
framework for my personal site with the following
requirements.

1. Full frame integration (for frame I mean same menu,
links, etc.. around the content of a specific seccion,
no the html frame tag)
2. Full modularity of subseccions, it means to me, put
a subseccion in a subdirectory an it should be ready
to go. Of course I need to make some includes standar
for this to work.

All this is cleanly implemented with includes for
inherited defaults up to 1 level of subseccion depth.

Since I want second-level-depth (or subsubseccions)
not to know about what is above them, I came to need
this NESTED includes and that is where all started to
fall apart with the problem I already described.

I will start looking for a diferent aproach.

Thanxs to u all.

RE: [PHP] array data

[Shaunak Kashyap]

It is not the correct way because $colors being an array, the HTML code for
the hidden input element will look like this (once the HTML has been
generated by PHP):

[code]

[/code]

What you probably want to do instead is something like this:

[code]


 // close loop
[/code]

This will create the following HTML (for the given example)...

[code]




[/code]

... and File2.php will do its job as desired.

Are you using classes? If so that should naturally break your project
down into more meaningful chunks.. i.e. you could have a user class,
an order class, etc etc.

If not then you'll end up with hundreds of functions in a single file
which will become a nightmare, so split them into more sensible groups.

Bear in mind that it is PHP that has to load and use the file, not the
web browser. So to be honest I would say you can easily fit all of
those constants in a single file - my common include at the moment is
35k.

There is no "standard" so you have to find your own middle ground. I
don't know which article you are referring to though. Some things make
sense, some make you think "now that's a good idea" and others are
just downright stupid. Trust me, you will NEVER find two PHP
developers who do things the *exact* same way. That doesn't mean write
bad, poorly formatted code - it just means no-one can turn around and
tell you "it's wrong".

How are you viewing the attachments? It's hard to tell where the issue is
with that description.

Look at the source code of a regular email with attachments and then compare
it to the source code of the email and attachments you create with PHP.

Heh.. I was just giving a heads up, not threatening.

I personally don't care for .inc files that are in the web root. The ways to
deny access to them vary across web servers and platforms, so it makes
distributing your code a hassle. I know the issues with giving it a .php
extension, also, but at least those issues I can control and fix and are not
related to the OS or webserver.

error:

 

[code]Failed sending email :: PHP :: 

 

DEBUG MODE

 

Line : 234

File : /home/mcpain36/public_html/forum/includes/emailer.php[/code]

 

It does not send them an email about how the admin has to turn on the
account. How can I fix this?

 

Thanks,

 

Russ

 

P.S. Sorry if this is a nuisance.

Please.. try ;)

I used to call the file common.php until we had a rather large debate
about the correct naming convention for PHP include files on the PHP
Community list where various people convinced me that .inc is the
correct standard for include files.

I hope you are also denying access to .inc files otherwise we could view
your file as plain text. Same goes for INI files used with parse_ini_file()
that are stored in the webroot.

Only if you want to pass an exit value, i.e. exit(101); otherwise just plain

When using SQL there will always be overhead that could otherwise be
avoided. Personally I use a file called common.inc which is basically
my global include file - it has nothing but variables I need set (no
functions, etc - they are held elsewhere) and files I need to include.
It sits at the root of my project and is included on every page. It's
the only file that needs to be included.

This is a matter of personal preference though - others will do it
like this, infact that is how .NET works to a degree via the
web.config file, but you may find a way which works best for you.
No-one can say if its wrong or right, but it would definitely be
quicker than a SQL query :)

Here is what I have right now. It produces the same file content as is read

$search = "item";
$replace = "poem";
mkdir($replace, 0777);
$section1 = file_get_contents("table_create.php");

str_replace() doesn't affect $section1; it returns the subject with the 
replacements, so you'd need:

$section1 = str_replace($search, $replace, $section1);

Of course, you'd know this if you had RTFM ;-)

That makes sense...

Is it also recommended that an application local config file be used to set
all the globals that will be used throughout?  Right now I'm using the db to
hold all the vars that I want to make available for all apps.  Is this
something that shouldn't be done this way?  Is there a performance factor
that I should be aware of?  The tests I have done so far show an improvement
in the performance from what I am upgrading from, but (that's another
story):-]

You need to assign the output of str_replace to something:

$new_section = str_replace($search, $replace, $section1)

Only if you always want to round *down* the equation. For example
flooring a result of 4.99 will give you an integer of 4 whereas
round() (or ceil()) will give you 5. It depends on the situation as to
which is most useful.
