Clearly, I'm going to have to get on the PHP short bus.  I was never any
good at bitmasking.

In the meantime, I've got it working.  Not elegant, mind you, but working
nonetheless.  Thanks.

[PHP] Re: Algorithm....

[Manuel Vázquez Acosta]

I suggest a bit's mask technique; since max(i)=96, you can represent a day
by 96/8 = 12 bytes = 3 (32-bits integers).

TimeFrameA is an integer representing the first 32 15-minutes chunks(0-31),
TimeFrameB represents 32-63, and TimeFrameC 64-95.

If a bit is 1 the you that 15-minutes chunk is marked as "busy", 0
otherwise. It is easy to find which is the first 'busy'bit in each
TimeFrame:
// at least one bit is marked as busy
if (TimeFrame <> 0)
{
mask = 0x8000;
while (mask & TimeFrame == 0)
mask = mask >> 1;
}

Hope this helps (I think it saves both memory and time)

[PHP] Algorithm....

[Bob Eldred]

I'm working on a calendaring script right now, and am stuck on a
programmatic way to figure something out.

Basically, the work day is broken down into 15-minute intervals, where the
value of a given interval can be figured as $hour=floor($i/4) and the
minutes can be figured as $minutes=($i%4)*15.  So 32 = 8:00, 33=8:15, etc.

Currently, it's relatively easy to pull up a day, and block out those times
that are already taken up with appointments.  I'm throwing them all into an
array ($available_times).  So, that array would look like:

32=>yes
33=>yes
34=>yes
35=>yes
36=>no
37=>no
38=>yes
39=>yes

etc, for someone who has a meeting from 9:00 to 9:30.

Now, what I'm trying to do is check when they schedule a new meeting so that
they don't overlap their times with something that's already taken up.  So,
in the array given above, if they select 8:30 as the start time, I'd like
them to be able to select 8:45 or 9:00 as the end time, but nothing later
than that, as the time from 9:00 to 9:30 is already taken up.

And I'm stuck trying to figure out an approach to this.  Preferably one that
I can throw into javascript so they can fix their errors before it ever hits
the server.

Any help appreciated.

Bob

Just a followup. I found out that the PHPTest showing just a blank
page was a mistype in my config.inc.php file. It now shows me the
login screen, but when I login it does not do it. If I create a new
user via the PHPTest interface, it does indeed create the new user,
but I can't login with that one either.

I know I'm asking about a specific app here, but the problem spans a
few apps, and the problem is the same with all of them (namely,
authentication won't work).

Thanks again.

[PHP] Problems with authentication (I think)

[Leif Gregory]

Hello all,

What I have:

Windows webserver running PHP 4.34 and MySQL 4.0.17.


The knowns:

Doing the PHP test works and I get back all sorts of information,
and PHPBB2 works as advertised with no problems, so does PHPMyAdmin.


My Problem:

I've tried a number of PHP scripts to do various things (some just to
play around and learn, and some because I really want them on my web
server.) The three problems I usually encounter with the problematic
PHP scripts are:

1. When I hit the page, it just returns a blank page. This happens
   with:

   PHPTest http://www.resynthesize.com/code/phptest_info.php
   Proxy http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbp/

   
2. When I hit the page, it needs some authentication for login, and
   even though it appears to take the login, nothing really happens
   (i.e. it didn't log me in, so I can't go anywhere. This happens
   with:

   Scubaman Dive Log http://www.ivains.com/scubaman
   Directory Indexer http://autoindex.sourceforge.net (only when I
 enable the authentication for user logon,
 otherwise it works fine) 
   
   
3. Parts of the PHP script work, but others don't. This happens with:

   GoRedirector http://www.studentplatinum.com/scripts/ (It will
   return the values from MySQL that are in there, but I can't delete,
   add, or administer it in any way, nor does the actual PHP
   redirector itself work.)
   

I don't know enough about PHP yet to really know where to start
looking. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thought it had
something to do with Global Variables being disabled in the php.ini
file, but I re-enabled that to test it, but it didn't help.



Cheers,
Leif Gregory

PHP is a server side scripting language, which means it is parsed by software on the 
server before anything is sent to the client. That's why you don't see any PHP code if 
you look at the source of a web page on a client machine.

The opening and closing of windows, on the other hand, is something that happens on 
the client side and depend on the client's browser, among other things. PHP has 
*nothing* to do with the client's browser other than the fact that it receives some 
identification information from the browser. In order to pop open windows or do 
anything 
else on the client's computer, you'll need a client-side scripting language, i.e. one 
that is 
processed on the client's computer. One such language is JavaScript, which will take 
care of all your window-opening needs.

Hope this helps,

Erik

I'm taking a class & we are probably not going there for a while. It

I think you want to use $_POST not $POST
Yep, thanks. I guess I can add the $_REQUEST in the template file so 
maybe it's not too compicated.

[PHP] Opening a popup window?

[Shaun]

Hi,

I have a form on a page. If certain options are selected on that page I need
a popup window with a select option on there to appear. How can I make this
happen with PHP, or do I need to use some JavaScript?

Thanks for your help

I had the script below working to extract the results of $POST[thumbs].

[PHP] crack extension and gecos info

[Seth Hollyman]

One of the really handy things that the cracklib library does is
evaluate whether a password is based on a user's gecos information.


The php crack extension (--with-crack) allows me to test password
strength, but it doesn't allow me to specify the users name/gecos
information.  Instead, it uses the information of the current user (in
this case, the uid of the webserver process).

Is there a way to provide the equivalent of the gecos data to
crack_check() somehow?

Yes, you can use elementary javascript to achieve that goal.

Just make a link (anchor) as you normally would and make the value of its

name of the form you wish to submit. As with a lot of client-side scripting

[PHP] Re: Scope: global $GLOBALS[]

[Paul Furman]

None of them need global, just that initial config that calls them up 
with includes, that's where the variable is killed. I print the in & out 
value for every page & that's where it ends.

I have no idea why.

What would destroy the variable? All the other pages get it from that 
page just fine but that page it comes up as undefined and global simply 
defines it as empty. I tried static so it doesn't go away. I'm 
re-setting $pics from the settings page where I put it in a $POST, 
refresh, get it from the $POST & assign it to $pics. I even tried 
grabbing it from $POST in the config file to jump the gap but it's 
killed in $POST too! I thought $POST was a superglobal. What would make 
that lose it's value?

Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] * populate menu from directory *

[David T-G]

Dustin --

You have started a new thread by taking an existing message and replying
to it while merely changing the Subject: line.

That is bad, because it breaks threading.  When you reply to a message,
your mail client generates a "References:" header that tells everyone
to which posting(s) your posting refers.  A good mail client uses this
information to build a "thread tree" of the postings so that it is easy
to see just how they relate to each other.

With your posting style you successfully torpedoed this useful feature;
your posting shows up within an existing thread even though it is
completely unrelated.

Always do a fresh post when you want to start a new thread.  That means
that you do not select any sort of "Reply" when you start your message.
You can save the list address in your address book (or equivalent) for
convenience.

1) There are lots of gallery scripts out there, so you might look around
and avoid reinventing the wheel.

2) If the files are in the same directory as the script, just open the
dir and walk through it.  Be sure to not present '.' or '..' in the menu
(but still check whatever input you get back anyway).  If they're off in
some master directory, then do the same thing but look over there.

3) If the file paths are stored in a database, just connect to the DB and
pull the list and then loop through it just as in #2.

I'm not sure. To be clear, you're saying that the following two things do
not behave the same for you:

header('Refresh: ...');



Is this right? I suspect that you might be comparing these instead:

header('Location: ...');



If this is the case, the difference in behavior is due to:

1. Different headers.
2. Different response status codes (setting a Location header also changes
the status code from 200 to 302).

If this is not the case, I'm honestly not sure why the behavior would be
any different, since browsers that support http-equiv are supposed to
interpret these exactly as if they were real headers.

Hope that helps.

In case this wasn't clear, I can elaborate...

Let's use some fake domains:

1. payment.org - the payment processor
2. yoursite.org - your Web site

As a user, I want to buy something from yoursite.org, and you use a
payment processor for this purpose. I click a link from your site to
theirs, so http://payment.org/... is displayed in my browser. I enter some
credit card ifnormation, and click the button, and this happens:

1. payment.org verifies my information, charges my credit card, etc.
2. payment.org sends an HTTP request (typically a POST) to a URL at
yoursite.org, where you receive payment notifications. You make the output
of this page appropriate for the end user.
3. payment.org displays the output of your page to the user.

So, after I (the user) click the submit button, I see a "thank you" page
of some sort that was generated by yoursite.org. However, my browser still
shows that I am on payment.org's Web site.

To recap, payment.org is playing the role of a Web client (browser, for
example) when communicating with yoursite.org's payment notification page.
It uses the output of this page (the HTTP content) to use when it
communicates back to the user, at which time it is playing the more
typical role of a Web server.

Hope that helps.

You're right, but I don't think this means that we must disagree. :-)

In my opinion, this simply falls into the narrow category for which the
http-equiv attribute was created. If you want to specify an HTTP header in
the content, it's your only option. This is such a case. Because the
payment processor is the one acting as the Web client, it is they who
receive your HTTP response. They only display the content of this response
to the end user, so any headers you set are probably discarded (or maybe
the payment processor is redirected?).

However, this has lead to people using this same approach in the 99% of
situations where it is not necessary. If the user's Web client is
receiving your HTTP response in its entirety (the usual situation), you
can set any HTTP header you want the "right" way.

I don't have the URL handy, but there is a site somewhere that has been
conducting extensive tests to determine which headers have good http-equiv
support among various browsers. While Refresh is pretty well supported,
other headers are not, and the most consistent support for any header
definitely lies with it being sent within the protocol where it is
intended.

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] PHP REDIRECT

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Nopes,

What happens is that the gateways include your page instead of posting 
to your page.

For example if you visit a site that uses worldpay as a payment service 
provider you will see their banner on the thank you page after
payment is made.  In such cases the header functions will not work 
because it's too late to send them.

hope this is a better explaination.

[PHP] Scope: global $GLOBALS[]

[Paul Furman]

I checked the manual but I still don't get it.
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
I'm setting a variable $pics with a form by post method. It's on a 
"screen" that is included, then it needs to be applied to another 
"screen" that will take it's place when it's all re-processed.

template
  include header
  include SCREEN (picture or settings)
  include footer
Now, the template sets $pics to a default and then I can pull up the 
picture screen and setting $pics global makes it work but if I go to the 
settings screen to change $pic, it doesn't stick, even if I set it 
global there. I'm not sure if I need to set global once in the template 
or not there but in each screen I want to use it.



template:

global $pics;
if (!isset($pics)){$pics = 8;}
picture screen:

global $pics;
# works fine with the setting 8 from the template
settings screen:

global $pics;
print $pics; #for debugging, always follows template setting
if (!isset($pics)){$pics = 5;}
  if ($_POST){
if (isset ($_POST['thumbs'])){
  $pics = $_POST['thumbs'];
  print "settings have been changed";
}
}
?>

Sounds like a scope problem. I suggest using $_FILES['fichier'] inside the

[PHP] File input in form

[marc serra]

Hi, 

 

I'm designing a form with an file upload process.

 

So I've wrote something like this:

 



 

 



 

 

This work perfectly and now I got my file valid_form.php which receive the
data:

 

In that page I want to call a function to store file like this

storeFile($fichier);

ps :when I write : "echo $fichier_name" the name of the file is displayed.

 

My problem is that in the function storeFile when I want to save data I got
an error and when I write:

"echo $fichier_name;" nothing appear like if it doesn't know my
file..

 

So can you please tell me how to call a function with file in parameter to
store it.

 

Thx in advance,

 

Marc.

You're missing the point of what Chris is saying.

http://example.org/";>

and

header('Refresh: 10;URL=http://example.org/');

are both doing the same thing just in different ways. The http-equiv 
meta tag was created to allow static HTML pages to specify HTTP headers. 
With PHP you don't need to use that, you can actually send the browser 
the actual header. IMHO it's a better way to do it, but I can't actually 
see a reason why I feel that way.

Well, how about this situation as a reason:

You must do authorization, then force a file download, and you want to also
display a link to the file with the typical "click the link below if the
download does not start automatically". I couldn't figure out how to display
a page (after authorization), then use the PHP header redirect to force the
download while keeping the same page display. However, using a meta refresh

easy solution.

Am I overlooking a better solution?

I assume by meta refresh tag, you mean this:

http://example.org/";>

What most people seem to not realize, is that the http-equiv attribute is
just a way to specify HTTP headers in a meta tag. This is handy when you
want to do so in static pages, but PHP has a more proper way to specify
headers:

http://www.php.net/header

This creates a real HTTP header, and there is no reason for any PHP
developer to use a meta tag for this purpose.

Hope that helps.

Use the Refresh header:

header('Refresh: 10;URL=http://example.org/');

Hope that helps.

[PHP] PHP/ MySQL Login Module

[Pushpinder Singh]

hello everyone.

I am using PHP and MySQL on my website. Till now I was using a 
Login module with sessions, but the look and feel was not quite up to 
the mark. I have the functionality working just fine. I was wondering 
if I cold get my hands on a 'Login' module like www.zend.com (and other 
sites as well ) uses on their site.  i.e. the small rectangular box in 
the top frame on the right hand corner.  I am also looking at 
google.com , but have not come across anything till now. Pl let me know 
if you guys have anything, that might be useful.

Thanks in advance

Re: [PHP] php as cgi with static libraries?

[Marten Lehmann]

Hello,

You will need to build php yourself, take a look at configure --help:

$ ./configure --help | grep static
  --enable-static[=PKGS]  build static libraries [default=yes]
that's what I already did (--enable-static=db4), but after that a 'ldd 
php' still showed me references to libdb.so. I don't want to build php 
with absolutely no dynamic libaries, only certain libaries shall be

There are other ways - spam bots can actually subscribe to the list
and then just reap the email address of anyone who posts. Or of course
just scan the web version of the list archives.

I bet. It's annoying, but not as annoying as when you post to the list
and get a stack of Delivery Reports, Out of office replies, user
mailbox full errors and various other things back again from the
actual "subscribers".

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] problems with spam

well,

Interestingly enough I found the listserv. It's not one of the PHP lists in
case you're interested.

As for my email being harvested because I wrote it out
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Well I'll change it to
something else. :-)

Regarding deleteing and filtering. You bet like everyone else who belongs to
numerous listservs I hit the delete button often. It wasn't surprise -- it
was trying to pinpoint the listserv and give a heads up.

As it is members of one listserv has gotten swamped. The response there was
a deluge of "me too!"

There are probably spam bots out there that harvest the PHP list
daily. I'm not sure what you expect any listserv admin to do about it
though, by their very nature this is unavoidable.

Zend IDE 3.0.2

The biggest benefits for me:

Code Profiler - find out which parts of your code are running slowly.
Debugger - find out why.

Both accessible from the IE toolbar plugin (browse to the page/form
you want to profile and hit the button).

Very nice editor. Powerful search/replace (although no better than
Homesites which is what DW uses IIRC). Syntax checker, good Project
and CVS support, auto-complete and the very very useful function
in-sight feature which will give you pop-up suggestions to finish off
your function - i.e. type in "str" and as well as showing you stuff
like striptags or str_replace it'll also should you any functions you
have that start with "str" (stream_file for example). This is very
neat in big projects with loads of functions. Works across classes
too.

It's quite expensive, but the code profiler has paid for itself
several times over already and hey - it's by Zend, so you're kinda
supporting PHPs future too in a way.

[PHP] PHP IDE

[Alex Hogan]

Hi All,

 

I was just wondering what different IDEs everyone is using and why.  I am
asking to see if there are advantages in working in one over the other,
other than personal preference of course.

 

I currently work in DW MX 04.  But I would like to know the pros and cons in
the others being used in production environments.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

alex hogan

You won't, but you will find standards that some people adhere to. Feel

How is clearly structured code a mess? The line count is irrelevant.
Your preferred version is a scramble of tags and code, mine is clearly
defined per line, works in my IDE of choice (as well as others with
brace matching) and follows the attempts out there of PHP coding standards
(mostly inherited from the C++ fraternity). That's why *I* like it.

We're not going to agree on this, but you're still wrong in saying the
version I posted is "messy"; it couldn't get any cleaner even in an
html escaping context. Each to their own.

JW> It should be judged by its substance (ie the other factors) and not style. All

That's like saying a piece of art should not be judged in its use of
colour, but on the image itself - when in actual fact, they're both
as important as each other.

Children (and indeed adults) pick up bad writing habits by reading
"sloppy" prose, you implicitly learn the style in-front of you even if
the message itself comes across loud and clear. I see no difference
with code. You're saying "if it works, what does it matter what it
looks like". I don't agree, it matters a lot.

JW> Good coding techniques/practices/styles have their own books.

Everything has its own book, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be
encouraged/implied in the more "beginner" titles out there. It's their
responsibility as well. They should teach how to avoid spaghetti
coding and how to structure code so you can return to it a few years
down the line and not think "wtf is going on here?".

JW> Just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you should not judge a
JW> programming language book by its coding style.

We can leave this here because this will continue going around in
circles - but I strongly disagree. You can tell a LOT about the
overall quality of a script by its coding style and structure - just
because its printed in the pages of book I see no reason why they
should be treated any differently.

Re: [PHP] How to access $_GET while using mod_rewrite

[Chris Hayes]

I am using mod_rewrite which makes it impossible to use the $_GET function.
that depends...
if you would translate the fake url
  www.yoursite.org/par1/val1/parameter2/value2
to
  www.yoursite.org?page.php?par1=val1¶meter2=value2
you are ready.
Check the net for quite some examples.
Here is what it looks like:
cc=br&pr=04&lcarray=1&idarray=816083
Has anybody an idea on how to put this into an array to make it accesible 
like this:

$para[cc]
$para[pr]
etc.
Ok if you want to do it that way, what about this idea:

$array1= explode ('&','cc=br&pr=04&lcarray=1&idarray=816083');
then walk through array 1
and for each item in it array1
{
list ($key,$val)=explode ('=',$array1[$i]);
$$key=$val;
}

Try parse_str() (http://www.php.net/parse-str).

[PHP] PHP + Oracle and UK locale

[Harry Sufehmi]

(Redirected by "Harry Sufehmi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)

First sorry if this email was already received by you, I sent this originally on the 
weekend but didn't seem to be showing up in the list, so trying to repost again today.

I've setup phpBB in my company using Oracle as its backend. Everyone's happy with it, 
but there's one small annoyance - the pound sign (british currency symbol) kept on 
getting stored as hash sign (#).

Anyone encountered this problem before?

I've tried a lot of things - searching on web and newsgroups (not easy when everyone 
else referred to pound sign and it turned out to be the hash sign..!), installed the 
latest version of PHP, setting up the proper environment variable (especially 
NLS_LANG="ENGLISH.UNITED KINGDOM.UTF8") in .profile & httpd.conf & using putenv() in 
the script itself, and so on - still no joy.

The database itself uses UTF8 charset and AMERICA.AMERICAN locale.

If I use sqlplus, it's correctly entered as the pound sign. But using a PHP test 
script, it was still fine just before it's submitted to Oracle, INSERT it, then it's 
suddenly turned into hash.

Please feel free to enlighten me on this matter.


Thanks!
Harry

[PHP] How to access $_GET while using mod_rewrite

[Merlin]

Hi there,

I am using mod_rewrite which makes it impossible to use the $_GET function.

However, it should be possible to do the same with a function.

I figured out how to get the parameter string out of the url, now I am 
stuck in splitting those values into associated array elements.

Here is what it looks like:
cc=br&pr=04&lcarray=1&idarray=816083
Has anybody an idea on how to put this into an array to make it 
accesible like this:

$para[cc]
$para[pr]
etc.
Thanx for any ideas on that,
