As did your web server, apparently. :)

So what page are you trying to load? It obviously doesn't exist. Your 
login script is probably trying to redirect you to a page that doesn't 
exist.

Your immediate problem is that you're using IE. Use another browser, and
you should get a more informative error message.

Yeah, I think it's easier to manage this sort of thing by using some sort
of identifier in the URL, even if it's not the only one. No matter what,
this requires that some code be written.

The site you mentioned does, but it is easy to refresh to the same page

Hmmm, I would contend that PHP, particularly running inside stateless 
HTTP, doesn't know one client from another except by the code you write 
that makes it recognize them, or that uses defaults to do so.  If you 
only look at the default $_COOKIE["PHPSESSID"] to figure out what 
session you are handling then you get one per client, but if you had a 
way to set multiple cookies (easy) and to know which one you cared 
about on the next page load (harder, but at least it seems doable in 
the URL) then you can run multiple sessions.  Maybe that's what you 
meant by "roll your own" ...

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

[Ma Siva Kumar]

===
This message is for the benefit of new 
subscribers and those new to PHP.  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. 

Please also try 
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php 
for answers to frequently answered questions 
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).

2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching 
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant 
information within the first 10 results.

3. There is a searchable archive of the 
mailing list discussion at 
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the 
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and 
you may get answer to your query from the 
earlier discussions. 

For example: One of the repeatedly discussed 
question in the list is "Best PHP editor". 
Everyone has his/her favourite editor. 
You can get all the opinions by going through 
the list archives. If you want a chosen list 
try this link : 
http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/ 
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).

4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want 
find out what extensions are available to 
you?

Just put the following code into a file with 
a .php extension and access it through your 
webserver:

 

If PHP is installed you will see a page with 
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not 
installed (or not working correctly) your 
browser will try to download the file.

(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W 
Parker)

5. 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.

6. 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 
users'  computer related information (OS, 
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you 
modify any the user side settings. You need 
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in 
a JavaScript list.

On the other hand, you can access the 
information that is SENT by the user's 
browser when a client requests a page from 
your server. You can find details about 
browser, OS etc as reported by 
this request. - contributed by Wouter van 
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.

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

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

9. 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]

10. Ask smart questions

PHP.

You can do this with a Refresh header:

Hope that helps.

you could try something like this

ob_start(myCallBack)
.
.
ob_start();
include "aPHPFile.php";
$footer = ob_end_flush();
ob_end_flush()

function myCallBack($inBuffer)
{
//process
return $inbuffer.$GLOBALS['footer'];
}


Depends what you are trying to achieve over a simple include at the
end???

Thanks, it is set right, but I see some other things are not. 

these other bits are set in a .htaccess file in the root of this
applications htdocs tree. When I execute a test.php file in the same
directory as the .htaccess file I presume the output of phpinfo() should
relect whats in the .htaccess file? If not, I assume I should be looking

The default lifetime for session cookies is until the browser is
closed. You can run multiple sessions as long as they are to different
domains I think. I am pretty sure PHP can only handle 1 session per
client but you could always roll your own on top of that with
cookies/and or ID's

You can do it with a header.  I think something this simple will work:

header("Refresh: 120");

or in the  area:

print "\n";

If you want to refresh to an explicit URL:

header("Refresh: 120; URL=http://...";);
print "http://...\";>\n";

PHP itself cannot do this. You can use PHP to output a meta refresh
tag however which could be set to refresh every 2 minutes, understand
it is the HTML that is refreshing the page though - not PHP.

Mail is usually passed to your program via STDIN, so:

  $STDIN   = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
  $doo = fread ($STDIN, 100);

I have had questions about this for a while.  What is it about closing 
and reopening the browser that PHP "notices" and that invalidates the 
old session?

Also a comment ... I think with the right combination of session_id() 
and session_name() calls you should be able to run multiple sessions on 
the same browser at the same time.  I have never tried it but I did 
have a client with an interest in it and I looked enough to say "well, 
I think this is feasible -- we'd have to try it to be sure".

Check in php.ini session.auto_start it should be off if you want your

The problem with this is that PHP is server-side, so the following is sent
to the browser:



Thus, the same problem exists on the client-side, because the output is
identical.

To reiterate what others have stated, escaping quotes is good for PHP, and

[PHP] creating a mailbot in php

[Leonard B Burton]

Greetings,

I have been trying to come up with a script in PHP to take an email and do a little 
parsing and upload the data into a mysql database.  However I have had a couple of 
glitches.

Would someone be so nice to send me the code to just get it to do something (like 
update a counter or anything) simple that I will be able to tell if the email is 
getting  to the script or not?

My host has an option that allows you to easily make an alias [by way of an html form] 
that will send emails to certain files and I can not tell if it is not working or if 
my script is not working.  I have tried to read around and could not figure it out.  I 
wish I could RTFM but I cant find one.  The few pages I found on the net do not give a 
good enough explaination.  Thanks,

Leonard Burton

Re: [PHP] Efficieny: Include vs Array vs Function

[Rob Paxon]

Jason Sheets wrote:
Sometimes having less included files with more content is more efficient

I'd think in my case, this is true.  Generally, nothing is in these main 
include files that aren't needed by every page.

I'd suggest profiling your code, use the PEAR Benchmark class and use PHP's
memory usage functions to determine what parts of your code are consuming
the most resources and taking the longest amount of time to execute, then
try some experiments and profile each experiment to determine the most
efficient solution.
Profiling is something I've been doing a lot of in the past week or so, 
via various debuggers.  I wasn't aware of a PEAR Benchmarking class, 
I'll have to check it out.

In my commericial websites I have modified my application framework not to
connect to the database, start output buffering, start the session and do
other overhead if specific constants are declared.  For example if I have
contact.php that does some mailing stuff and requires Smarty I can define
TEMPLATE_ONLY and only templating related files will be included and
initialized.
Doing this optmization made pages roughly 50% faster that did not require
session or a database connection and also reduces the load on the sql server
because you are not connecting unless you actually need the connection and
still benefit from having a single connection call instead of connecting in
each function or file.
I have done similar things.  For instance, sessions are only useful to 
me for people who are actually logged in, so I recently dumped my custom 
PHP sessions handler and made my own session system.  It takes a lot 
less code than my handler and only connects to the database if the user 
sends over a session id.  The database connection is then closed if the 
proceeding script doesn't need it or it is opened later if needed, in 
the case of no session.  It creates a session only through the log-in 
script.  This way, sessions are only created and read for those who 
choose to log in, which is obviously far, far less than %50 of visitors. 
 In the end, it works out to the database only being opened when needed 
and I've found this to make dramatic difference, even on my sorry old 
local enviroment.

I'm glad to see this topic got so many different responses.

Thanks fellas

[PHP] Re: PHP Sessions - One Server, Many Terminals

[memoimyself]

Damon,

Sessions have to do with requests being sent by browsers to the web server. Each time 
you close all the windows of your browser on your computer and start the browser 
again, a new session is started. I suspect that since all your users are essentially 
using 
the same web browser (since their monitors and keyboards are not really separate 
computers, but peripherals on the same machine), a browser window open on one 
terminal is keeping alive a session started by another user on another terminal when 
she or he first started the browser. Does that make sense? Anyway, if that's your 
case, 
then I don't believe there's anything that can be done.

Why are so many people telling this poor person to escape their quotes? 
That WILL NOT WORK in HTML. The correct way to do this is to use 
htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities(). In fact, this should always be 
done on dynamic values in an input or any other HTML data that should be 
displayed literally, such as for within textareas.

On the machine running the client (web browser) or the machine running the
server?
On the client, no.  At least, I hope not.
On the server... ?  Maybe.  Maybe if you ran a login script that wrote the
username to a file that PHP read.  I can't really think of a clean way of
doing it.

[PHP] PHP Sessions - One Server, Many Terminals

[Damon Abilock]

I'm having a problem related to PHP sessions in a school computer lab
environment.  I have a script that uses sessions to keep track of a user and
their work on the system.  It is being used by a school in a computer lab in
which the students just have terminals -- they all access the same server
computer to run programs and do not have hard drives of their own.  They are
running software called "ClassLink" (see www.classlink2000.com) in this lab
(I'm not sure if that is really an important detail or not).

The problem is that everyone that students accessing the script on these
different terminals start seeing eachother's work, which implies that the
session information is not unique to each terminal (I expect that if I
printed out the session ID on all of these different terminals, they would
all be the same).

Is there anything that I can do about this?  How do I get my script to
recognize that it is being accessed by different terminals, even though it
is really only one physical computer (the server that all of these terminals
have a view into)?  Is there any other solution?

Cheers,
Damon

[PHP] local (config) value not overriding master

[Fredrik de Vibe]

Hi

On the system I'm working on atm, php is set up with a non-modifiable
php.ini, but I can make php config changes in httpd.conf. The changes
I make are reflected in the "local value" row in the output from
phpinfo() while the values from php.ini are in the "master value" row.

This seemed to be working fine until I tried to override the
disable_functions value. The master value has ini_set disabled, I have
removed it from the local value's disabled_functions (phpinfo() agrees
on this), but I still can't use ini_set (it is still disabled).

I might be missing something important here (probably am), but I can't
see why (tried googling and going through the docs, but I couldn't see
any reference to this). Can anybody shed some light here?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't post the original message; I was responding to Tommi, who asked
about calculating the "count of date per month".

Your method will have all rows returned to PHP, and require PHP to count
the rows afterward.  If you would do this:

  SELECT COUNT(whatever) FROM table WHERE MONTH(your_date) = '03';

then your result set will only have one row (the number of matching
rows), and you don't need to do any additional counting work.

However, all of that is for the OP, not for me, so I'm CCing the list
back in.

No, it actually states:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path  C:\WINNT

which means that it's looking in C:\WINNT for your php.ini file, but hasn't
found one -- if it found a php.ini there, that line would have read:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path  C:\WINNT\php.ini

As you're on Windows, my guess is that the old hidden extension trick is in
play and you've actually got a file called something like php.ini.txt -- try
turning off the Windows option that hides recognised extensions, and taking
another look.

Cheers!

How is it failing?  Looking at the source, you are definitely on the right
track.

Upon post, you need to get materials as such:

$materials = &$_POST['materials'];

to list out the quantity, you can do any the following:

foreach( $materials['quantity'] as $quantity ) {
  echo $quantity . '';
}
foreach( $materials['description'] as $description ) {
  echo $description . '';
}

for( $i = 0; $i < 5; $i++ ) {
  echo $materials['description'][$i] . '::' . $materials['quantity'][$i] .
'';
}

Personally, I'd rename your form elements to:

$materials[$item][quantity]
$materials[$item][price]
$materials[$item][description]

If you don't know in what way PHP sends the POST data, then the best
solution is simply to view it:

";
  print_r($_POST);
  echo "";

(Or you can var_dump the whole thing)

By looking at the structure like this you'll soon see how to access

[PHP] array $_POST problem

[Joey Kelly]

Hello,

I have a SuSE 9.0 Linux server running PHP and Apache2 (my phpinfo() data is 
at http://redfishnetworks.com/~jkelly/test.php), and my problem is this:

I've got a sticky problem that I need to solve. I've just turned on 
register_globals in my PHP php.ini file, and therefore have to run my form 
variables through $_POST:

$variable = $_POST[$variable];
echo $variable;

The problem I'm having is that the script Im trying to refactor worked great 
before I turned register_globals off. The script posts an array, and I can't 
seem to figure out how to $_POST the array.

Here is the script with register_globals OFF (this is on my old server, by the 
way, running SuSE 7.3), as you can see the script works fine with 
register_globals off:
http://joeykelly.net/materials.php

Here is the script with register_globals ON:
http://redfishnetworks.com/~jkelly/materials.php
Notice the huge nested array at the bottom when you click [SUBMIT]? That's my 
trouble.

In both cases, changing the extension from .php to .phps shows you the source 
code. As you can see, above the form I've tried several attempts to access 
the data, all of which seem to fail.

My question: What am I doing wrong? I suspect that I'm having trouble with 
nested arrays, etc.. The thing that bothers me is that the data is available 
(see the array printout at the bottom?).

If I can't make this work, I'm going to have to resort to munging a bunch of 
scalars ($quantity1, $quantity2, etc.), which to me is an awful kludge that 
I'd rather not sign my name to.

Thanks for any help.

$row is an entire array. you don't explode an entire array, you only
explode the contents of an element of an array.

print_r($row) will give you some clues.

you'll need to access a specific element within the array. like:

$thearray = explode('__', $row[0][0]);

unless i'm wrong, the above.

I got problem when i want to save object in session.

 

I got my first page when I create my object and save it to session:

 



Require 'test.inc.php';

Session_start();

 

$test = new test();

$test->Load($_Get['id']);

$_SESSION['save'] = $test;

?>

 

In my second page I want to retrieve my object



 

Require 'test.inc.php';

Session_start();

echo get_class($_SESSION['test']);

?>

 

When I do get_class($_SESSION['test']); I got the message
"__PHP_Incomplete_Class" instead of "test"
 

Can you explain me where I can have made an error.

 

What's going on here is that you haven't redefined your class for PHP in 
the second page. When PHP saves your object, it saves only its data, not 
its functions and such. Are you sure you're defining your object 
correctly? Have you tried instantiating a test() object in the second page?

[PHP] Array to String conversion error

[Alex Hogan]

Hi All,

 

I have a function that gets a single field from a mssql db. That field
contains data that is then parsed out to represent a survey's results.

 

The function;

function quesresults(){

$query = "SELECT sur_ans

   FROM au_survey";

$result = MSSQL_QUERY($query) or die("Can not execute query
$query. ");

$row = mssql_fetch_array($result);

$thearray = explode('__', $row); - This is line 40

$i = 1;

foreach($thearray as $topelement){

foreach(explode('--', $topelement) as $element){

echo $element;

echo "";

}

echo "question $i"; 

echo "";

$i++;

}

}

 

When I call the function I get;

Notice: Array to string conversion in \WWW\mypath\srvyclass.inc.php on line
40
Array
question 1

 

What am I missing?

Sometimes having less included files with more content is more efficient
than having a lot of small files, an example would be making a seperate
include for each function, this has its advantages especially in smarty's
case but can be inefficient because you must fetch each file from disk which
has overhead.

I'd suggest profiling your code, use the PEAR Benchmark class and use PHP's
memory usage functions to determine what parts of your code are consuming
the most resources and taking the longest amount of time to execute, then
try some experiments and profile each experiment to determine the most
efficient solution.

Different versions of PHP, different application frameworks, and
applications in general will respond to optimization techniques differently,
for example there is little sense in spending 40 hours optimizing variable
usage in a program to increase performance when 75% of the program is
database server bound, your time would be better spent optimizing the SQL.

In my commericial websites I have modified my application framework not to
connect to the database, start output buffering, start the session and do
other overhead if specific constants are declared.  For example if I have
contact.php that does some mailing stuff and requires Smarty I can define
TEMPLATE_ONLY and only templating related files will be included and
initialized.

Doing this optmization made pages roughly 50% faster that did not require
session or a database connection and also reduces the load on the sql server
because you are not connecting unless you actually need the connection and
still benefit from having a single connection call instead of connecting in
each function or file.

have you considered the size of your includes? maybe cutting the size
down by splitting them into more concise files would help? in this way
you could more precisely include what you needed and leave the rest out.

I'm assuming this is in a MySQL table.  Is that correct?  This is
probably something that will better be answered on a MySQL list.

Assuming that it is MySQL, how are you deciding which month an item is
in?  What if it starts in March and ends in April?  Should it be
considered to be in March or April?

MySQL's COUNT[1], GROUP BY[2], and DATE_FORMAT[3] will be helpful to you.
Something like:

  SELECT COUNT(*) AS num, DATE_FORMAT(end_date, "%Y-%m") AS yearmonth
FROM yourtable 
GROUP BY yearmonth 
ORDER BY num;

might work[4].

[1] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GROUP-BY-Functions.html#IDX1452
[2] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SELECT.html
[3] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Date_and_time_functions.html#IDX1341
[4] This query assumes that end_date is sufficient to determine which
month something is "in".  Also, it relies on some potentially
MySQL-specific syntax.

It doesn't reverse the name (as required), which although you could
say "give me element 1 of each array to get the lastname", this doesn't
work with names such as "firstname middlename lastname" (like the OP
requested) :) because now the lastname is in element 2 so you'll have
to do some extra checking malarky to get it.

But yeah, there are a few million ways to skin this cat.

I missed this part, so here's my take with the solution I provided (I'm 
including the print-out of the  tags):

foreach ($name_array as $person) {
$lastname_element = count($person) - 1; //index of last element
echo "" . $person[$lastname_element] . ", ";
echo $person[0] . "\n"; //zero (0) is the first name
}

There can be any number of reasons. None of them having anything to do with
