AVS systems I've used don't ask for the street number. They ask for the
entire address and they do the matching for me and return a code
indicating what portions matched. For one client in particular an AVS
fail allows the order to go through, but it is flagged as peculiar and
requires someone to manually reject or allow the order to be fulfilled.
This was necessary since a lot of AVS failures were encountered for
regular clients.

If I had to make a choice given your system, I think I would just grab
the integer value of the first address line. No concatenation, and no
fussing with a second line...

$number = (int)$input;

Cheers,
Rob.

Re: [PHP] logic for grabbing what we need from user-input addresses for AVS?

2008-10-18 Thread Waynn Lue
AVS generally only exists for us and canada and parts of the uk, if I
remember correctly. Usually they're just looking for the beginning
part of the street address, not the concatenation or anything else
like that. No need for apartment numbers, for example if you're just
looking at avs.

If you're doing a full credit card auth, though, that's a different matter.

[PHP] logic for grabbing what we need from user-input addresses for AVS?

2008-10-18 Thread Govinda

Hi all

This is not exactly PHP, but an issue that we have to work out in code  
(whatever we use) -
I am working on a shopping cart site which will have orders from any  
country.


To cut down on fraudulent orders, our cc processor (whatever we call  
them), to enable "Address Verification System (AVS)",  accepts a var/ 
value which is "The numeric portion of the street address".  It is  
"Required for AVS".  Now to get this from what the user input, I can:


- just read the *numeric* characters off the front of the first (of 2)  
address text inputs, stopping grabbing them once I reach any non- 
numeric char., or I could
- get *any* numeric  chars input in that text area and concatenate  
them all together (if there is more than one continuous run of them), or
- get *any* numeric  chars input in *either* of the address text areas  
and concatenate that all together (if there is more than one  
continuous run of them), or

- (what are the other possibilities?)

I am asking you guys/gals using AVS:  what are they looking for?  The  
docs make this clear that they want: "The numeric portion of the  
street address", but just because I can't think of addresses that  
don't match a pattern I am thinking of does not mean they don't exist  
or are not valid.  And how should the logic of my algorithm be written  
if it was just for USA addresses?  ... and more importantly - if I am  
writing it to handle addresses from any country?


Thanks for any insight/logic based on experience,  ;-)

I'm trying to create a form with a loop. I need to append a value to a field 
name each time through the loop. For Instance:


while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$x=1;
	echo "";	echo

echo "";
$x++;
}

the name value quantity needs the value of x appended to it. quantity_1,

I've done a similar thing for a system at work, but I have noticed that
it sometimes creates buggy FLVs from WMV clips. It might just be the way
that the encodings differ, and despite working for a media company, I
still have no idea about all the differing rates (frames, video, audio)
inside of one clip, so I think it may just be my bad understanding of
it.

I've not used a library to achieve paging but doing it at the database
level is a must really, as you don't want to retrieve large data sets,
only to work on a small sub-section of them. As I've no experience of
using libraries for this, I've always coded the queries myself. LIMIT in
MySQL comes in real handy, but if you're using an older version of
MSSQL, then you will have to use nested selects like this:

SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM
(
SELECT TOP 20 * FROM table1 ORDER BY column1
)
ORDER BY column1 DESC
)
ORDER BY column1

Obviously the syntax is not entirely right, but it should help you get
the general idea for a query that returns results 10-20.

In addition to the video it creates three png files, from the first
few frames of the video. I choose one of these pngs (rm the other two)
and use it as the thumbnail for the video in the flash-based player.

Well, leaving out the default value at the 2nd if statement makes a
difference and that's what I did.
Here is the code I changed again ..

Set to $_GET['search'] or an empty string


Only set if there is a $_GET['search']

I'm going to wager that any script that does this is punting to an

If you want top page data then you absolutely should NOT retrieve the
entire set of results (unless they are less than your paging length).

Use a paging system that takes a query or can build the query itself.
Most decent libraries or frameworks have something already built to do
so.

and this is good:

$search = '';
if (isset($_GET['search']))
{
$search = $_GET['search'];
}

what's the difference? I really can't see?
to me is more the way you like to write your code (and I like the top one :-) )?

thanks.

Security is a mindset and if your data is not that important, sessions and
some quick authentication checks are fine. If you're like me and the
application is used by large international retailers and your data included
PII (personal identity information) and PCI (credit card) then is far more
important and needs to be handled appropriately.

If it eats up more CPU cycles to better validate the user and their
application authentication, so be it. In my case, its better to be safe than
sorry. Those mistakes could get very expensive

Table library? Y'know there's a dedicated paging library in PEAR,
imaginitively called "Pager".

My Datagrid does this for you. You simply give it a database
connection, along with an SQL query, and it does the rest:

[PHP] paging at which level

2008-10-18 Thread Alain Roger
Hi,

i would like to know what is the best approach for paging ?
usually i use PEAR and page thanks their table library, but to avoid high
transfer of data from DB to PHP page it is better to do the paging at
database level.
I would like to know what is your point of view on this topic and what do
you use to do ?

thx.

Re: [PHP] web shot script

2008-10-18 Thread Nitsan Bin-Nun
In general thats what I would do:
Install firefox on the server,
Open FF, take a screen shot, paste it to whatever graphic editor you have,
Save the current image to a directory
(This idea can be done in PHP, more than that, I have already wrote it,
if I were able to find it I would have been attached it already ;) )

The other options is using something like www.browsershots.org (as far
as I remember thats their URL) and pay them to get the first places on
their queues.

There is also a free website-thumbnailing website but it updates the
images once a year or half so for me it doesn't usefull at all.

HTH,
Nitsan

Hello All,


Does anyone know of a script to capture web pages and store the image?

Trying to see all of my sites screenshots and have it updated on occasion.

 

Thanks!
