Here's a solution:  It's not a problem.  It's the way it's SUPPOSED to be.
:-)

It's actually a BETTER browser because of that.

That said, if you REALLY want to be certain that I don't run two windows
accessing your site (why you care, I dunno) you could try sending out a
token with each HTTP response, embed that token in each URL/FORM/etc and
then check what comes back against what you expected.

Maybe it's just me, but it sounds to me like you just want all your users
to use IE as if that's the only way a browser can/should work...  That's
not a Good Idea, imho.

Hrmph.

God only knows what Windows 2K might have done with its file permissions
system (or lack thereof)...

What are the permissions settings on the files that work versus those that
don't?

Just for fun, if fgets doesn't like it, does fread like it?

Remote, but distinct, possibility:  Bad hardware.

If the underlying hard drive is kerfraggled, then you *could* see the
behaviour you're getting -- The file seems to open okay, but an attempt to
actually read data conks out on a bad sector.

Can you skip the fgets section ENTIRELY and just fclose() it?  Once the
handle is known to be corrupt (by a bad sector) then fclose() will
probably die, but if you don't attempt to read a bad sector, fclose()
shouldn't have much to do, and should succeed.

Certainly doing a backup and running a disk check wouldn't hurt, to
eliminate the hardware possibility.

[PHP] Inner Join or 2nd Query...?

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,
with wanting to show both product types(Switch, Router etc) and 
Makers(Cisco, Avaya, etc) on the one page in select boxes, I was 
wondering, do you use 2 seperate queries to the database or do you inner 
join to get all in 1..? I have set up different tables with related id's 
etc. So, to get Products.product_name and Products.product_id along with 
what the below query pulls, what wold be best..? I believe if I do a 2nd 
query, than some variables need to be identified with the particular 
query, yes..? Cheers.




JUMBO STATUS

PRODUCT TYPE




$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "grunger");
mysql_select_db("status",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT ProductTypes.product_type_detail, 
ProductTypes.product_type_id FROM ProductTypes",$db);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i=0; $i<$num; $i++){
$myrow=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$product_type=mysql_result($result,$i,"product_type_detail");
$product_type_id=mysql_result($result,$i,"product_type_id");

[PHP] Strange characters

[Carl Furst]

I have a question about an odd phenomenon. It doesn't have much to do with
PHP except that I used strtr to solve it, and it maybe that the problem is
being caused by a setting in PHP, but I would like to get some more
background info as to why this is happening.

 

On a typical Windows system, most applications use the windows-1252
character set. Linux uses UTF-8 or Unicode. The former being an 8 bit set
and the latter being a 16 bit set. 

 

Well I have a form on a website that has to be able to take in text from
MSWord and Notepad and the like. If someone has been using "Autoformating"
in MS Word, the "special characters" get translated into a UTF-8 equivalent.
What's odd is that these 8 bit windows characters become 24 bit
combinations, I think. When I look at the characters in hex they are
represented by 3 numbers first one always being 0xE2.

 

Why is there an 0xE2 beginning the character combination and why does PHP
translate these characters this way? Is there something you can do to
minimize them besides writing some kind of character scrubber?

 

Thanks,

Carl

 

[PHP] protect your CSS files, and possibly other extenstions as well...

[Kit DeKat]

I recently discovered a php method to hide text-based files from remote
users while allowing access to your internal pages and scripts. You can
take advantage of this technique as well to protect your artistic rights:
There are two variants: one for php scriptss and their included counterparts
and another for 'stand-alone' files that are refered to within your own html
-- such as *.css and *.js that can be link'd or src'd via html tags
--
PHP SCRIPTs:
master pages: (index.php, gallery.php, ...)

included pages: (header.php, menu.php, ...)

'include_path/check_constant.inc':

   /*
* PHP Internal Inclusion Verification v1.0
* Author: Tim Maynard, aka: Kit DeKat (kitdekat) (c)09-MAY-2005
* E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*/
   $const = get_defined_constants();
   if( !isset($const["SOME_CONSTANT"]) ||
   ($const["SOME_CONSTANT"] != 'secret_string') )
   {
   header('Status: 404 Not Found');
   header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
   // the following is my path to the standard Apache2 error 
documents which
   // i feel that the standard docs are the best to hide that fact 
that the
   // file was ever there, versus a custom error implying you're 
covering it
   
readfile('http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].'/error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var');
   exit();
   }
?>

--
This should hide all the includes, configs, etc.. files that you have 
lying around.
I should hope that you already have the following somewhere in your 
http.conf
file to protect from direct-remote downloads -- this snippet will 
protect against
files ending in '.inc' and '.inc.php', modify to suit your site:


   Order allow,deny
   Deny from all
   Satisfy All

--
CSS and JS files:
First, you will need to tell php to parse these files, which can be done 
again by
editing your httpd.conf files to add the extensions desired to the php list:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 .css .js
You will take a performance hit for adding the parser to more pages, but
I think its worth the gain in security and your general sanity and 
well-being.
now that php is parsing these files, add the following to the top of each:


   /*
* PHP Internal Inclusion Verification v1.0
* Author: Tim Maynard, aka: Kit DeKat (kitdekat) (c)09-MAY-2005
* E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*/
   if( !isset( $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]) ||
   !strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"],$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]) )
   {
   header('Status: 404 Not Found');
   header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
   
readfile('http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].'/error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var');
   exit();
   }
?>

This is very similar code to the php-scripts, but the change is that it 
is not looking for
the constant anymore (since that doesn't exist once the page is in hte 
browser), but
makes sure that the server calling the file is itself and not a remote 
call from an address bar.

For some reason I always thought exec() only took a single argument. 
That 3rd argument will come in handy now that I know about it.  Learn

I do for as many projects as possible. Nothing like sharing custom tags
across projects. Also something you can't do in PHP is include source
code with a function definition that has already been defined which as
many PHP developers will attest to, causes problems when importing 3rd
party code. With custom tags I can override an existing tag of the same
space/name with different functionality by assigning the compiler with
the tag to override a higher precedence in the configuration.
Additionally I can create custom tags that output other custom tags or
standard tags since evaluation is recursive (at compile time NOT
run-time). Also some of the sites I manage are in the hundreds of pages
and having the template engine index the site's searchable content via a
custom tag is quite convenient.


Blah blah blah blah.


Custom tags aren't just for content replacement as you can see, they can
provide meta functionality at arms length.

Also I like the convenience and clarity of using static accumulators to
accumulate content that will be flushed into a pre-defined position. For
instance a template like the following:







Blh.




And then a source file which will be expanded into the above main layout
template:









Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah.
Something funky with javascript.



As you saw in the main template declaration there were two flushes, one
is static and occurs at compile time saving any run-time overhead, the
other is dynamic and occurs at run-time (which is useful if your code
needs to output javascript).

Anyways, there's way more to all this than I can usually think of when
people ask. Experience, mine in particular, leads me to prefer the
template approach over the PHP approach. And then again my own template
approach over the smarty approach :)

Cheers,
Rob.

Here's a quickie, untested, and probably with some kind of logic errors,
or at least things not quite what you want.

$fulltext = "There is no such great language than php. Amongh those
countries using this language is Germany with a good percentage of
users.";
$words = explode(" ", "php germany");
$snippets = '';
while (list(, $word) = each($words)){
  if (!stristr($snippets, $word)){ //skip this if we already got the word.
$start = strpos($fulltext, $word);
if ($start !== false){
  $end = $start + strlen($word);
  $jumpback = strpos(' ', $fulltext, $start - 20);
  $jumpforward = strpos(' ', $fulltext, $end + 20);
  $snippet = substr($fulltext, $jumpback, $jumpforward);
  $snippets .= " $snippet ";
}
  }
}
reset($words);
while (, $word) = each($words)){
  $snippets = str_replacei($word, "$word", $snippets);
}
echo $snippets;


To Do:

Might wanna store an array of start/end numbers for snippets, then sort by
start, then combine those that "overlap" one end to the next start, *THEN*
combine those snippets, so you don't have snippets out or order, nor
overlapping.

Still, I got ya started...

If you surf to that URL, do you see PHP source, or do you see HTML/nothing?

You may want to use .phps to get source, or .inc if mysite.com is
configured to serve those up as PHP.

You also have to make sure class.php is actually valid code...

I don't think you want || here -- The operator precedence of = and || and
OR are what's biting you in the butt, almost for sure.

echo "fh is $fh\n";

If that doesn't print out "Resource #1" (or some other number) then you've
got it wrong, and you might as well ignore the rest of this script until
it's right.

Also, it's probably REALLY BAD SECURITY that the PHP user can write (r+) a
file inside your DOCUMENT_ROOT!!!

Move the file somewhere else, outside the web tree, and give yourself a
config file to set the path for easy changing/installing.


> for ($line = fgets($fh, 1000); 0 && ! feof($fh); $line = fgets($fh)) {

Dunno what the 0 && is about, but it don't belong there when you're done,
of course...

Re: [PHP] fgets fails after fopen succeeds

[Thomas Powell]

Printing $fh printed a 1.

My original file mode was just "r", I changed to "r+" to see if I'd get 
permissions problems. The file handle seems to be fine. fgets just doesn't 
like it.

The 0 && !feof() was a "commenting out" of the for loop to prevent the fgets 
from running so that I so print the $fh.

This is an adaptation of the following code, which works fine on another 
Windows 2000/Apache setup. Irony is, the original code doesn't work when 
ported. I think I'm missing something in setup or permissions.

I use exec() instead of system()

I find it's rare that I don't want to capture the resulting output (arg 2)
and do something intelligent if the OS returns an error (arg 3)

Re: [PHP] Templating systems for single developers?

[Ligaya Turmelle]

I use Smarty and am the lone developer.  Why - Easiest to give an 
example that I did.

I have my site with 7 pages.  Each page has a minimum of 4 templates for 
it (though 6 is the average).  Time goes on and I decided I wanted to 
completely change the look of my site (currently can't handle the 
increasing amount of data and pages easily) and make it xhtml compliant. 
 Rewrite the CSS and modify the templates to allow for the new changes. 
 Site revamped and xhtml compliant in less then a week.  Couldn't do 
that as quickly if I wasn't on a templating system.  Maybe next time I 
overhaul the site I will work toward making it more accessible.

[PHP] fgets fails after fopen succeeds

[Thomas Powell]

Summary:
fopen returns a file handle, yet fgets doesn't want to read it. I've scoured 
google, php.net , phpfreaks, usenet, etc. It seems to work 
elsewhere.

My setup:
Apache 2.0.47
PHP/5.0.4
Windows 2000

The call:
make_link_list("index");

(the file exists for fopen(), and actually errors if I add characters to 
break it)

My Source Code:



 0) {
 print '' . $line ."\n";
 }
}

Rory you are my hero!  you took the words right out of my mouth, and
yes, I am looking to create a small basic one that isn't bloated with
useless features.  Basically variable replacement mostly.

Anyways, I restructered my code, and as far as I can see there is
nothing wrong with the code, except for that it simply doesn't work :)
 I'm probably missing something blatently obvious but I'll post it and
maybe someone can spot why this isn't working.  Here be the code:

_var = array();
$this->_value = array();
}

//
// ASSIGN A VARIABLE
//
function assign($var,$value) {
if (isset($var) && isset($value)) {
$this->_var[] = $var;
$this->_value[] = $value;
}
}

//
// RUN THE WEBPAGE
//
function run($template) {   
if (isset($template)) {
$this->_template = 'tpl/' . $template . '.tpl';
if (file_exists($this->_template)) {
$file = fopen($this->_template,'r');
$this->_file = 
fread($file,filesize($this->_template));
fclose($file);
$this->_file = str_replace('{' . 
$this->_var .
'}',$this->_value,$this->_file);
print($this->_file);
} else {
print('Template File Does Not 
Exists');
}
} else {
print('Template is not sent');
exit;
}
}
}
?>

The page that run's the script simply looks like this:

assign('sitename',$sitename);
$mm->assign('header',$header);
$mm->run('index');
?>

[PHP] Header Location redirection parameters fail to redirect

[Olav Drageset]

I want url mysite.no to redirect to mysite.com with parameters lang=no 
and ctry=no, but the parameters do not follow the redirection.

mysite.no/index.php is
http://mysite.com/index.php?lang=no&ctry=no'  ) ;
exit;
?>
mysite.com/index.php is
mysite.com Homepage  ";
$lang = $_REQUEST['lang'];
$ctry = $_REQUEST['ctry'];
echo "Country= $ctry  Language= $lang";
?>
When I browse mysite.no mysite.com homepage is shown
with lang and ctry as blank
When I browse mysite.com/index.php?lang=no&ctry=no
parameters lang and ctry are set to no as I wish
I have the server on my own laptop where I also do the browsing. I use 
PHP 4.2.2

I kindly got some answers yesterday that do not seem to solv the 
question so I have made myself more specific. Do anyone have a clue why 
the parameters are stripped from the redirection?
(I am not very trained, but as far as I know the parameters should be 
redirected??!!)

Re: [PHP] numbers as strings

Just as a note I had a bit to test and your version works
$str = "$c$a$b";
does return 012
all I was getting was 12
after looking at the manual I see that PHP was evaluating each piece as a
number so it expected that the built variable would be a number.

[PHP] Templating systems for single developers?

[Murray @ PlanetThoughtful]

Hi All,

If it's a PHP file sitting on a web server I doubt you will get at the
actual source using that method.  Usually when you want to show the
source of a PHP file you configure the web server to show .phps files
as PHP source.  For Apache a line like this works:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Also.. I'd just download the class file and read it from the local
file system.  There's a lot of overhead in including a PHP file
remotely everytime your script runs.  Even if you just cache the file
every so often it'd still be way better than a direct call every time.
 I could be wrong but I doubt the class file is changing so much so
often that you need a realtime include() like that.

Re: [PHP] Editing PDF

[tg-php]

Also keep in mind that any graphics in the PDF, even an uncompressed one, will 
show up encoded... Base64 or UTF or whatever PDFs use.

I also remember reading once that there's data at the end of the PDF that gives 
a pointer to where in the PDF certain data is.  That if you add/remove stuff 
from the PDF itself that you need to update those pointers.  I believe that 
only pertained to encoded and embedded graphics data, not text and whatnot.

We use PDFLib at work.  Basically you start with a blank form (all 
pre-constructed and layed out) and just overlay text and graphics with it.  
You're not really altering what's there as much as generating a new PDF with 
some additional stuff slapped over what was there in a layer or something.

Sorry to be so vague.. but wanted to pass on that info in case it helped avoid 
a pitfall somewhere.

Good luck!

Is it possible your mod_php is using a different php.ini than your cli php?

I use system() instead of exec(), I find it's rare than I don't want

[PHP] dio_read timeout?

[AC]

I'm using dio_read to read data from a serial port via a php cli script, 
this works great.

However I'm unable to get dio_read to timeout if there's no data to 
read. No matter how I formulate the while loop, set_time_out, etc I
can't seem to get it to stop reading and move on.

Anyone have a work around or ideas?
Example snippet, where $fd is a valid file descriptor.
function readData($fd) {
$startTime=microtime();
$endTime=$startTime+'.02';
$data=null;
$i=0;
#while($startTime < $endTime){
while($i < 5) {
$data.=dio_read($fd);
if($data) {
   echo "Here's some data: $data\n";
   break;
}
$i++;
}
} //end function

Re: [PHP] Re: A couple questions about templating

[M Saleh EG]

What is the purpose of your templating system? And what does it solve? 
These questions are the ones I'd ask myself if I was creating one. However, 
there are a lot of them out there so does your templating system solve a 
problem and is a solution? or just "yet another templating class"? 
 As its well known templates are made for several reasons such as separating 
server-side and client-code, separating designers and developers work in 
team environment, theme able and multy layout and language systems... and a 
lot more that could me mentioned. 
 I've personally used the HTML_Template_IT package from pear along with 
Smarty. And now I'm back to normal HTML including for small projects that 
have a short life cycle, for longer life cycle projects I'd use the IT 
package. Will never use smarty again; it just makes another layer in the 
programming not in the system in other words, it becomes another language to 
add to your programming instead of being a component/tier though it provides 
much more flexibility than the any other package available.
 There are a number of articles on Templating I've selected a very 
criticizing article to share that lives at
www.phppatterns.com. I so much agree with
him. At the same time I see a big need for
templating. Here is the link to the article.

Hi,

You may also want to know if php is running OK too. Crackers will
typically knock out php, and then the usual web server tests work, and
your php website(s) will not.

I suppose a curl script would figure that out.

I think I *may* have solved this at my end.

The following statement seems to work:

preg_match_all('/([\w\-]+?|[(]|[)]|\".+\")/U',strtoupper($prep_sql),$sqlarr)
;

I need to test it out with a whole series of different possible combinations
to see if it behaves the way I want it to, but so far the results are good.

If anyone can see any flaws, I'd love to know about them!

Many thanks,

Murray

If you still need to do math on it, just remember you don't have a
decimal anymore. See example above. Make sure you do any math you need
to do before the str_replace. If you're just displaying it, then no
problem.

[PHP] Help with regex: breaking strings down to 'words' and 'phrases'

[Murray @ PlanetThoughtful]

Hi All,

 

I'd very much appreciate some help building a regular expression for
preg_match_all that can differentiate between 'words' and 'phrases'.

 

For example, say I have a string that contains: 'this is an "example of a
phrase"'

 

I'd like to be able to break that down to:

 

this

is

an

example of a phrase

 

My current preg_match_all regex:

 

preg_match_all('([\w\-]+|[\(]|[\)])',"this is an \"example of a
phrase\"',$arr);

 

returns the following:

 

Array

(

[0] => Array

(

[0] => this

[1] => is

[2] => an

[3] => example

[4] => of

[5] => a

[6] => phrase

Note: I'm using this to break elements of a string down to build an sql
string, which is why I'm looking for "(" and ")" characters (ie the
"[\(]|[\)]" part of the regex) and maintaining them in the array. A
real-world example of the the value being supplied to the regex might be
"completed and "January 2005" and not (store or online)" etc. I already have
the logic to handle "and", "or", "not" and "()" but haven't been able to
figure out how to maintain substrings in quotes as a single value in the
array.

 

Any help appreciated!

 

 

Much warmth,

[PHP] Re: Password encryption and password retrieval

[Satyam]

Usually passwords are encrypted using one-way algorithms.  Of course, there 
are two-way algorithms which can be reversed, but time and experience has 
shown that not to be necessary for user passwords.

A one-way algorithm is much like the modulus operation:  15 % 4 gives you 3 
but even if you know the result and the divider, there is no way you can 
guess that 15 was the original number. One-way encryption algorithms do 
something like this, they loose some information in the process so the 
original cannot be recovered (no decryption) even though the encryption 
process is perfectly predictable and reproducible.

Though the impossibility of recovery can be seen as a drawback it also means 
that the system administrator nor the programmer can figure out the 
passwords, thus, my password is safe, even from the administrator or his/her 
newbie junior assistant who dreams with becoming a famous hacker.

Thus, if a user gets his/her password lost, you e-mail a new and urge 
him/her to change it ASAP.

This isn't *quite* editing, but I have had success using FPDF

Hope this helps.

I agree -- that's why the statement "then determine if you can improve
upon their solutions." This wasn't a, "you won't be able to," but more
of a, "look for places where you feel it could be done better" type of
statement.

Templating is tricky. It adds overhead on the processing end, but
increases developer/designer efficiency. Finding a happy medium is the
challenge.

I'm not sure how big Savant is, but it's one that's often favorably
reviewed. I believe the website is http://www.phpsavant.org/

PEAR has a couple of template solutions, but I'm not hear too much about
them, good or bad.

Another one I've seen favorable review on is patTemplate, from the PHP
Tools site: http://www.php-tools.net/

[PHP] apache2/php file manager: security suggestions

[brett]

Hi,

I've written a web based file manager using PHP and running on
an apache 2 server. Before putting it on a live webserver i'd like to get
some security suggestions.

Desired Goals:

1. Read, write text files from a web browser.
2. Files should be owned by me so as not to be readable\writable to other
webserver users or their scripts.

Will running in safe mode allow my file manager to read\write files as
"me" and not as "apache" or the UID of apache?

If i keep my data directory outside of apache's document root, will this
prevent remote viewing of it?

If i keep my PHP scripts out of document root, will they be hidden from
remote viewers?

My likely webtree directory strutcure is this:


Document Root:

/var/www/html/myWebsite

PHP Scripts:

/var/www/php/myWebsite

My data the file manager will access:

/var/www/data/myWebsite

All three directories will be owned by my user id. Apache will be
configured to run scripts from the scripts dir. The data dir will be
opened with open_baseDir. I will set up .htaccess on the data directory.

Combine this with safe mode, and will i have the desired effect?

Thanks,
-brett

You are quite welcome to have a look at my template processor, there
is the start of some documentation at http://kwiktemplates.com/

The actual code is very small and it runs pretty quick, so no need to
cache anything for most sites. I have been using it now for a couple
of years and it hasn't let me down :)

In addition to the valid suggestions thus far, another option which may
suit your purpose is to display an image from webserver2 in the page on
webserver1. You can put a JavaScript redirection in the image's onload
event.

Try connecting to it on port 80, the default for web servers. You can 
actually play around by connecting to a webserver (or mail server) 
through telnet. On the command line just type "telnet website.com 80". 
If the server is up, you should be able to interact with the webserver. 
Type something and press return. If you didn't type a valid command, 
you'll get some html code back.
You should be able to do something like this with all the commands in 
php, I have looked into which ones.

Re: [PHP] Editing PDF

Sam,
I'm not an expert in the area but from what I've seen in the past you 
might want to look into using LaTex or something similar from the

I wouldn't know where to tell you to start.

For that matter I'm not even certain LaTex would be the answer ;-) but 
since no one has responded to you yet I thought that might be a good 
place for you to start looking.

Good luck!

http://us2.php.net/fsockopen

You'll be doing what's termed an HTTP Ping. You make a socket
connection to the other server, perform a GET request on a page
(preferably small), examine the returned headers for a Status 200
(which means OK).

If you get that, the webserver responded and served up the page.

You might just be able to do a HEAD request, but I haven't tried it.

Check the remote server's waiting port - if it's opened the server is working, 
if it's not the server is not working.

The user won't be able to retrieve it's password if you want your application 
to be secure.

The best practice is to flush the password and let the user reactivate it's 
account by providing him a temporary password.

has forgotten the password how can he retrieve the
password(which is already encrypted and stored...the

Once encrypted that's it.  The user can't get it back.  Best thing is to 
ask them to verify additional information and then send a randomly 
generated passwort to the email address *you* have on file for that user.

They can then change it when they login.
Also which encryption method would you recommend. ie.
md5,crypt, etc
of those two, md5.  search the net for discussions about md5 vs sha1...

Re: [PHP] Password encryption and password retrieval

[Andy Pieters]

Hi 

You are doing the right thing storing passwords encrypted!

You may use any of the one way digest like secure hash 1 (sha1) or md5 or a 
combination to generate a hash.

In case your user forgets his password, there is no way to reconstruct it.  
You need to provide an interface where the user can enter their email and the 
script sends a message to the user with a token.  Afterwards, this token is 
used as one time password to login and change the password.

Regards


Andy

I really like Smarty we and use it for our templating needs, but it just
seems a bit

[PHP] String manipulation out of the box solution?

[Merlin]

Hi there,
I am writing an internal full text search engine and do have trouble in 
outputting the text in an apropriate way.

Problem is that if there is more than one word I cant handle the text cropping.
For example:
Search term: php germany
Text from database: There is no such great language than php. Amongh those 
countries using this language is Germany with a good percentage of users.
Text output should be:
...language than php. Amongh... language is Germay with a good...

Similar to the way google does it. I tried it now with a couple of ways but 
failed for most (I tried with strpos and substr).

Is there a solution out of the box with php, or maybe anybody knows a good 
script which does that. This does sound like a standard feature to me.

Thank you for any help,
Merlin

[PHP] Editing PDF

[Sam Smith]

I have an existing PDF file that I want to add text to or make changes to
text with data from an HTML form via PHP.

The PDF looks like this:
20 0 obj<>stream
8;X-DgMYb:(An746bc%oU,Mo*S]"SN?epNo...

That is, not in plain text.

If I wanted to add text to the PDF, e.g., Mr. Jones, where the heck would it
go and what would it look like?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Re: A couple questions about templating

This has all been done before, and I'm assuming that the James knows,
and has seen that before, since he used the same common method names,
as is in many php templating systems. $class->assign has been used in
any templating system I've ever seen(although to be honest I haven't
seen that many).

I don't think the fact that it has been done before should inhibit him
from doing it again. Carrying out the process, is one of the most
educational ways, and perhaps one of the most enlightening ways to see
how a process works.

I'm not sure how many lines of code are in Savant, paTemplate, or
FastTemplate, etc, but smarty has way too many to be used as a
learning tool, and there are times, when you want raw speed, that can
only be delivered via minimal, specialist code. Smarty is also too
complicated to be used by someone without good knowledge of
templating, and one of the best ways to understand it is to write your
own IMHO.

I think this question, whilst centred around templating, offers
opportunities for topics that aren't directly related to templating,
and perhaps PHP Programming in General. One particular area of
potential interest is dynamic code generation.

Would those of you who are experienced with PHP and SOAP give me your

PHP5 has excellent SOAP capabilities with the built-in SOAP extention. 
So, if you are using PHP5, you have no worries.  Hop over to

If you are not using PHP5, then either NuSOAP or the PEAR libs will work.

Everybody else has told you to move the $i++; inside the while { } loop.

I'm not gonna tell you that.

I'm gonna tell you to get out a pencil and some paper, and "walk" through
your code, writing down exactly what data goes where, in which variables,
on each line.

Make yourself a nice big wide columnar sheet of paper tracking each variable.

LINE | $db | $result | $myrow | $num | $i | $product_type |
1
2
3
4
5  | db-link |
6
7  || db-result |
.
.
.

You need to do this.

Trust me.

I would expect it to "just work" if you spelled 'header' correctly...

Are you sure you don't have some kind of mod_rewrite stuff messing you up?

Can you surf DIRECTLY to that URL in your browser and get what you expect?

AFAIK there is no php.ini setting that would affect/cause this...  You
could read through all of php.ini.dist (?) and its comments from the CVS
source in an hour to be sure.
