I think the problem is with the logic above.
$year_diff = 44
$month_diff = 2
$day_diff = -13
Since the $month_diff is positive meaning you're already passed your
birthdate. If the $month_diff is 0 - your birth month, then you need to
check if the if it's past your birth day yet (negative $day_diff).
That logic should be changed to if if (($month_diff == 0 $day_diff 0)
|| $month_diff 0)
Then you're 45 ;)

Is there anything I can do to solve problem? Thanks in advance! The short answer is yes, remove the Chinese characters, however, I think you were looking for something a little more automatic? If the URL itself is causing the problem, maybe you could use the urlencode() and urldecode() functions to make the filename for the URL web-safe. Another alternative that I've used before is to give each file an entry in a DB and use a moniker to identify the file. The DB can handle all sorts of extra functions in the future, such as allowing only specific users to access a file, storing multiple versions of the same file bearing the same name (on the server each version has a unique name, the user need only know that they're requesting template.doc, version 3, etc) and many other things.

Re: [PHP] Questions from a Newbie
Linux can be run as a GUI, using a window manager. Aside from that, have a look at the manual pages on php.net, which give some good examples of how to use the various mysql functions. Also, on your development machine, its a good idea to turn on errors, as it can indicate where these problems are. You can do this from the php.ini, look for display_errors.

Re: [PHP] Questions from a Newbie
gah, i botched that up.
For the first part, you want the following:
$cxn = new mysql($host, $user, $password);
$res = $cxn-query(create database test22:);
if (!$res) {
die(Failed to create database test22: . $cxn-error());
}
Then, reopen the connection with the new data base:
$cxn = new mysql($host, $user, $password, test22);
Then the following code will work.

[PHP] Zip files: generate text file in archive on the fly
I need to provide a download of a zip archive containing three files. This is fairly straightforward in PHP so long as one is working with files that already exist. However, I need to customise one of the files (a simple text file) with the user name and other info before zipping. I see no mention of this in the fine manual, and even googling has led me nowhere.

Ideas? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks! The solution to this seems to be as simple as grabbing the contents of the file using ZipArchive::getFromName (or equivalent), deleting that file in the archive, modifying the contents, then writing the file using ZipArchive::addFromString. Were ZipArchive::getStream able to handle write operations, I imagine you could modify it this way, but reading the file in for modification is much less issue-laden. I haven't tested it, but you could also simply try using ZipArchive::addFromString without deleting the file first. It may just overwrite the file.

It would seem that your script is gobbling memory somewhere. Perhaps you've entered an infinite loop which is simply tacking additional elements onto an array constantly. Without seeing the script itself, it's hard to say quite what the problem might be, but what's evident is that your script is eating memory.

Re: [PHP] Questions from a Newbie
On Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 11:22 AM, Ethan Rosenberg eth...@earthlink.net wrote: snip Tommy - Thanks. As I stated, I am a newbie. 1] I am trying to shorten the learning curve by asking some questions, which I understand are probably trivial. A whole MySQLi list of functions at this point is to much for me. I have to break the problem into manageable parts. 2] It has been my experience that using a GUI does not teach the whole subject. Linux, which is the OS I use cannot be run from a GUI. In the code being discussed, I wish to create a database and add two tables. I also note a MySQL statement that can be used to add data to an existing table, and wish to be able to execute this statement using PHP. So, therefore.. Let us try to answer the following two(2) questions: a] What changes [other than moving the simicolons] have to be made to correct the code. That's why I suggested you to read that section regarding the usage of PHP's MySQL extension. If you still have problems understanding that section or if it's a bit too much, I strongly suggest you start reading the manual from the beginning. It's obvious you're not very clear on the syntax of PHP and you jumped right into the middle of accessing the database and try to manipulate the DB using PHP. What you need to know is the fundamentals 1st: variable declarations and assignments, types of variables, basic outputs (such as echo, print, etc), conditions, loops, etc... In the official manual, all of that is covered up to Classes Objects, not including. Class Objects and there after are for more of PHP5+ and OOP. When in doubt, there is always the function reference. b] What books can you suggest to help w/ MySQL and PHP? I already have the SQL, MySQL PHP, and HTML books in the . for Dummies series. I need something with a little more depth and detail. If you intend to use PHP to access the a DBMS, you need to have a strong grasp of fundamentals of SQL. I mean that as beyond a simple select statement. If you already have that and the fundamentals of PHP, reading that MySQL section I mentioned should give you the understanding you needed on how to use PHP to access and manipulate the data from the DB. One good way to learn to copy the sample codes from the manual and run it on your development box. Make some changes to code after the 1st few runs to see if you're understanding it correctly and that you should be getting the output from the code change as you expected based on your understanding of the material you just read. Reading any books (hard copy or electronic version) are good but you won't truly understand and remember how it works unless you apply that knowledge ASAP, IMO. Learning for me is reverse engineering. That's the fastest way I learn. Thanks to all for your excellent help.

Re: [PHP]About Character Set
oh,it is none of the PHP language's business. you should work on your Apache Server's Configuration Files.

Is there anything I can do to solve problem? Thanks in advance! The short answer is yes, remove the Chinese characters, however, I think you were looking for something a little more automatic? If the URL itself is causing the problem, maybe you could use the urlencode() and urldecode() functions to make the filename for the URL web-safe. Another alternative that I've used before is to give each file an entry in a DB and use a moniker to identify the file. The DB can handle all sorts of extra functions in the future, such as allowing only specific users to access a file, storing multiple versions of the same file bearing the same name (on the server each version has a unique name, the user need only know that they're requesting template.doc, version 3, etc) and many other things.

On Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 01:00:44AM -0400, Ethan Rosenberg wrote: Dear List - Here are some questions, which I am sure are trivial, but I am a newbie, and cannot find the answers online I cannot get the following to work. In my Firefox [Iceweasel] browser, I enter the following URL: [w/ the http] localhost/CreateNew.php All I get is a blank browser screen. The code contained in the file CreateNew.php is: /* * Create Database test22 */ htmlbody ?php $cxn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password); echoCreate database test22; echoCreate table Names2 There's no need to quote $host above. Why your echo statements aren't showing up possibly indicates the script is aborting before it gets to them. In situations like this, check the error logs if possible. If not, break the problem down into even smaller chunks. Do your connect with MySQL and then test to see if the connection actually worked. According to the docs, mysqli_connect() should return an object representing the connection. So check that first: if (!is_object($cxn)) echo Not connected!; else echo Yep, it connected!; ( RecordNum Int(11) Primary Key Not null default=1 auto_increment, FirstName varchar(10), LastName varchar(10), Height decimal(4,1), Weight0 decimal(4,1), BMI decimal(3,1) Date0 date ); As has been mentioned, you're simply echoing these to the page, not sending them to MySQL. That won't work. You have to feed your SQL statements to the mysqli_query() function. See the docs. Also, let me strongly advise you against using upper-and-lower-case field names in your tables. Others will undoubtedly disagree, but I find this a maintenance nightmare in the long run. Note that in some SQL variants (maybe in MySQL as well; I don't recall), you must quote the field names in queries to preserve their case and make the queries work. echo Create table Visit2 ( Indx Int(7) Primary Key Not null auto_increment, Weight decimal(4,1) not null, StudyDate date not null, RecordNum Int(11) ); $sql= SHOW DATABASES; As mentioned elsewhere, this statement won't work in a web context. It only works from the MySQL console interface. There are other ways to achieve this in a programming context, but they involve querying the MySQL meta-tables. Also, to those recommending PHPMyAdmin, it ignores the OP's question, and doesn't help him/her learn anything. It is completely possible to do what he wants programmatically, and often is done that way while installing various frameworks, etc. *You're* welcome to use PHPMyAdmin, but let the OP do it his/her way, and help them along if you can.
