$str = 'helloworld';

if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z]*$/",$str))
echo "only letters";
else
echo "failed";

2. only letters and spaces

$str = 'hello world';

if(preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z\s]*$/",$str))

Right, Shilpu. I'll try that.

What would be the exact installer which will let me have the MySQL Server
and the Query browser? I know this is the wrong forum but I am just giving
it a shot. When I do Start -> All Programs -> MYSQL, I used to get only
above options. I have lost the installer and the actual MySQL website has
quite a lot of things.

locate my.cnf file. Its in your mysql directory. And your mysql directory is
somewhere in wamp install directory.
Open the file with notepad/wordpad and change the port number.
Its written just like this,
port= 3306

Change is to
port= 3307 or whatever port you like.

Then restart mysql.

But remember, all you php app need to connect mysql through that 3307 port
which is not standard.
So mysql_connect() functions  params should be tweaked.

Since I have another Java app running and points to the same port 3306, when
I tried to configure with EasyPHP, I had a conflict.

How about configuring EasyPHP at a different port? In that ways, EasyPHP's
MYSQL and my external MySQL will never have a conflicting situation.

Does that make sense?

He's got that much (with the exception of the FTP server) up and running
with EasyPHP. The issue he has now is getting his existing Java app to
use the MySQL server from EasyPHP to avoid conflicting ports from the
two MySQL systems installed. It can be run all as one with different
users, and might be better now asking a MySQL list, unless anyone on

You can consider XAMPP. (www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html)
It has everything in it.

Mysql server, Apache server,  PHPMyAdmin, PHP, Perl and an FTP server
Just install it and its configured.

Just put your files in htdocs and they will be up and running.

I use this to package my intranet php application.

Do you have an example of the code you're using, like a bare bones

[PHP] session data

2010-06-01 Thread Colin Finnis
I'm having a problem with session data. I have a login setup which holds the 
user ID and password in the session data once the user has initially logged 
in. When the user goes to a new page or accesses a pop up window the users 
session data is validated against a list of IDs and passwords held on the 
system rather than forcing them to log in each time. As far as I can work 
out this is fairly standard stuff for this sort of process. It works fine in 
Firefox but is very inconsistent when used in IE 7. On occasions when a new 
page is accessed the users is forced to login again. The reason for this 
appears to be that the variables in which the ID and password are stored 
don't exist. I have a whole load of trace code which gives me various 
information and session ID is apparently being picked up correctly. The 
weird thing is that if you reload the page it will then work correctly. I 
have tried adding session_write_close as I thought the data was not being 
written out correctly during the initial login. This code has been developed 
in eclipse using an Apache web serve and works just fine in this 
environment. I am trying to deploy it to an IIS serve to which I only have 
limited access and cant debug it in this environment.

I realize that you have used EasyPHP. For others wanting to do this, 
Bitnami(http://bitnami.org/) has a WAMP stack too. What's nice is if you want 
to add Postgre, there's a module that installs into the stack too. There are 
other modules/apps that also integrate into your WAMP stack, so you don't have 
to have separate apache servers running all those different apps.

Tried that just now and didn't work.

The Java code which talks to the DB has a different username and password
than the one installed with EasyPHP. I might be missing something very silly
here. Damn me!

Not sure if that would work here. I gave that a shot and there was a port
conflict.

I actually want to learn how to set PHP environment in bits and pieces

Re: [PHP] Set up MySQL + Apache 2.2.4 on Win XP.

2010-06-01 Thread Shreyas
Thanks, Ash.

I was able to set things up with EasyPHP 3.0. I had to uninstall my MySQL
and Apache to get this work. I have to figure out how I can ask my java code
to look at a separate instance of MYSQL while the EasyPHP's instance runs
too.

Anyone has encountered this before?

Shreyas

The editor you use won't matter. EasyPHP installs Apache, MySQL and PHP
in one install, and gets it all working together easily on Windows.

Rather than install the separate components have you looked at a
pre-built stack? A lot of people swear by the WAMP install on Windows.
For my own experience on Windows, I've found EasyPHP to be an absolute
doddle to use, and can have you up and running with all the modules you
need within minutes.

PHP'ers,

Please do not curse me for this.

I am having a tough time to get this up and running. Can someone point me to
a document which will help me do configure so that I can start learning and
working on PHP ASAP? Please. I have attached the files under consideration.

Here is my details :

MySQL - 5.x

Apache - apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

PHP base - C:\PHP

As said in the subject, I am trying to create a screencast based

I hope PHP.net does not have a problem with it.

Just want to confirm that PHP.Net rules and policies do not stop me

++ doesn't give back. As there is no need to do any backtracking, this

I can't find where to turn it off either, but I did notice when you type
something like that, when you type in the content in the " ", when you type
the last ", it overwrites the end quote, so you don't end up with two.
phped works this way too.  Helps me at least.

Why the double ++ in the expressions there? Surely one + would match the
1 or more characters that you need and the second one would just be
surplus?

Use preg_match() to find an expression within a string. You can use
something like this to grab check if a string contains only letters or
numbers:

if(preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/'), $string)
{

}

[PHP] Another NetBeans Question

2010-06-01 Thread tedd

Hi gang:

Here's my first NetBeans question:

How do you turn off the automatic insertion of quotes when you're editing?

For example, when I type , I end up with id=""content">. The editor see's me type a quote and then 
automatically inserts another quote.


I've reviewed all the preferences and don't see a place where I can 
turn that off.


Cheers,

tedd

It's got to do with PHP because all the code which handles all this
customer data, etc., is PHP. (It's all internal to my network.)

You could use mcrypt_*() functions to encrypt the credit card numbers,
no problem. Some of the methods of encryption possible with mcrypt are
very strong.

The original question was if there was an alternative to forcing the
user who wants to access the CC number to supply a separate password in
order to access the information. The apparent answer (given the original
constraints) is no, there is no alternative.

Peter:

Yes to the first.

I am sure there are all sorts of situations, but in most of the 
problematic ones I've encountered the clients want to have customers 
logon and have all their credit card information automatically filled 
into their forms for purchase. This requires that somewhere on the 
site all customer's data are kept in a manner that can be accessed 
and used -- and therein lies the problem.


Clients (mine) often think that a web site should be as safe as their 
brick and mortar operations and as such offer similar services -- 
namely having a past customer's data waiting and available for 
immediate purchase without having to brother the customer for it 
again -- like having a card file.


Unfortunately, the security aspects of the web require different 
thinking -- the web is not brick and mortar, which provides both 
concern and opportunity.

tedd

When you say "client" in this context, what do you mean? The ultimate

The "client" here would have been my client -- the person who pays me 
for my service, owns the web site, and is selling product. It is he 
who has the agreement with the credit card processor and in this case 
it was a PayPal Merchant service.


In the documentation and code PayPal provides there are levels of 
accessibility/failure you can assign to authorization. You can set it 
to FAIL if the zip code or CCV are not correct -- however -- it 
defaults to requiring only the name, expiry date, and credit card 
number to be correct to PASS.


While working on this, I found that the cost for the less secure 
transaction was higher than for the more secure transaction.

As I noted above: the question is not whether it can be done, the
question is whether you want to be the next critter in the limelight
because *you* couldn't do it.
 However, glad to hear you're not looking to do this. That brings up
the next question though: what's this got to do with PHP? If I was to
store any information like this, I certainly wouldn't code my own
storage system with built-in encryption. I would rely on one of the
many adequate cryptography programs available, made specifically for
encrypting and storing data safely.

No to #1, yes to #2.

As for #1, companies like Godaddy do store this information, so I know
it can be safely done.

But no, we do #2. If we were doing #1, I would turn this over to some
gateway and not save the info.

I'm not sure any of this has to do with laws. It has more to do with the
PSS and the rules of individual credit card companies (Visa, American
Express, etc.).
