Yeah i guess the cookie doesn't need to be stored on the server since it's in the header anyway. Thanks for clearing that up. Tim-Hinnerk Heuer http://www.ihostnz.com Charles M.

[PHP] move_uploaded_file() problem
Hi, I'm having problem with function move_uploaded_file() under Linux (Slackware 12.2). It simply want execute only that function in php file. So maybe I should add something to http.config file or ? I tried to execute that php file under Windows and it's working just fine (I've copied whole project to xampp's htdocs folder and run it normally).

This is part where I use function move_uploaded_file()
if($_FILES['file']['name'] && $_FILES['file']['size']<55){
$file_name =
"news_".$_FILES['file']['name'];
$image="../_img/news/".$file_name;
//Upload file
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $image);
}
And normaly HTML code:

[PHP] Re: Session variables
Paul M Foster wrote: I'm not too clear on HTTP headers, cookies, and such. So here are questions related to that. Let's say I generate a random number that I want the user to enter in a form. When I generate the number, I store it in a session variable ($_SESSION). When the user submits the form, I check the number they enter with what I've stored in the session variable. Since this session variable survives across page loads (assuming session_start() is appropriately called), how is it stored and recalled? Is it automatically stored as a cookie on the user's system? Or is it stored on the server? And how does a server "get" a cookie? Is it a separate request made by the server to the client? If the value I've asked the user for is *not* stored as a cookie, then is it passed as part of the HTTP submission or what? Thanks for any enlightenment on this. Paul seeing as you're a voomer here's a very mini explanation session has an id a: session id is passed to a user in the http headers users client gets sessionid and stores it in a cookie users client sends cookie with sessionid in it back to website every page load b: on the server a small file is stored in a temp directory containing all the stuff you've stored in session the file is named with the session id when php recieves a request, with a cookie, with a session id in it, then it grabs the related server side session files, pulls the variables from it an makes them available to you in $_SESSION. v simple :p -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I've been using this function for years, it's definitely right. Are you
sure your strings are right? The should be absolute or relative paths to
the file. Usually you'd do something like this Chris showed you. Also,
as you're on a Linux system, make sure that the directory into which you
are trying to put the file has got the right permissions to allow Apache
to do this.

Make sure that the relative path resolves to what you think it does. Try to
make a test with a hard coded absolute path, and do an echo
realpath("../_img/news/$file_name"); to see the absolute path that it
resolves to. It might be that the function does indeed work, but places
files in annother folder than you expect it to.

Re: [PHP] Re: move_uploaded_file() problem
make sure the permissions on the folders are right, so at least read for the
httpd in the tmp folder and write in the destination folder. since its
moving i would make them both writeable to the webserver daemon user.
permissions can be annoying are necessary though...
They caught me quite a few times now, so its one of the first things i would
check.

I use Linux myself, and the Window does stay in the background if it's
already open. You could fix this by changing the onclick a bit:
function details_popup()
{
detailsWin = window.open('about: blank',
'details','width=300,height=200');
detailsWin.focus();
}
More Details
I've not tested this, but it should allow your link to bring the window
to focus even if it is already open and in the background.

No, it's a generic solution, should be pretty much the same across
browsers. Why not download more browsers and test?
I would also add a window.focus() to the body tag in the popup to
bring the window back on top when the user reclocks the link

I think that's what I was considering doing with CSS except it
would be labels only in the content. I only wanted to retrieve the
data record from mysql if the user asked for the specs.
One issue is I don't want to leave the space available on my
regular web page and would like to try not to overwrite something
there - I'd rather have a separate window of some sort that sort
of floats over the web page.
The best way to have the popup work, even with popup blockers is to
have
a link like this:
onclick="window.open('about:
blank', 'details','width=300,height=200');">More Details
The onclick handler is called before the link is actioned, and it
opens
a new window with your settings, called 'details'. When that is
finished, the browser continues actioning the link, looks to find the
window/frame called 'details', finds one, and uses it. This way,
even if
a user has scripting turned off, the link still works and opens in
a new
window.

Ashley,
Thanks, I finally worked on the popup you suggested. That is the
closest to what I am looking for. I'm sure there are some other
settings that could be useful. For example, the popup window gets
hidden behind the primary web page if the user goes back there, and
does not come back if he clicks again.
But, my bigger question is this: Is this solution specific to MS
Windows. What would happen if someone were viewing the website using
Apple or Linus etc?
Here's hoping you see this.
Thanks,
Patrick

It's not just different browsers, it's different operating systems - Apple, Linux, more. I can't download those. Although I have thought about setting up one dedicated machine just to test Linux on such things. I thought the Window function(?) is probably part of MS Windows. Maybe it's also implemented in Linux, possibly others just to be compatible. I'll keep working on this with a little CSS and other options.

There are a lot of browser-specific additions to Javascript, but the code we've all shown here is all pretty generic.

[PHP] Adding Records & Capture The New Record ID
Newbie question... Hi folks, Adding records & capture the new record ID: In the past, if I added a new record from a form in a phonebook file as an example, I would use a web form to fill out the info, and then add and invisible text item that stored a random number in one of the unused database fields. Then, after I inserted the record - I would do a quick query that would retrieve the record ID by searching for the random number Q: is there a better way to retrieve the record ID from the newly added record? -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists 09] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yes. As I stated, it returns the ID of the last record inserted on a given connection. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's one way, to use "mysql_insert_id" (probably the best). But another is simply to read back in the record you just created and check the $row['id']. That's the way I do it sometimes.

For most cases, it's not enough to read back the values you just put in as they may be the same for some people.

Hey guys,

What I have is...

Which when run against my test data, seems to match:
"{:seg 'segname' cache:}"

Thanks guys. This has been bugging me for a couple days.

I used some of your code, but try this variant on for size.
{:seg 'title':}
{:seg 'title' cache:}
DATA;
# For arguments sake, I'll provide the whole code snippet...
$fSegRegEx = "|\{:(seg) \'([a-z0-9\-\_]{3,})\'\s?(cache)?:\}|i";
preg_match_all($fSegRegEx, $dummyData, $faSegMatches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
print_r($faSegMatches);
?>
Not sure what your input is going to be (HTML, XML, etc...) so I used
HTML
Anyways, output from the above code is this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => {:seg 'title':}
[1] => seg
[2] => title
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => {:seg 'title' cache:}
[1] => seg
[2] => title
[3] => cache
)
)
Hope this starts you down the right path.
