For a regular expression "|" means OR. You could use explode("|",$file[$i])
for the sam effect. Benchmark split() vs. explode() and see which is
faster...

$matches is going to be over-written after every time through the loop! It
doesn't add it all up.
Add in a
$var[] = $matches;
or something inside of your loop to keep track of them all, then
print_r($var) to see what it contains.

Stop thinking of include files as www.example.com/file.php.
You're including a file that's within the same file system as the original
file, so you just need to provide a correct path.
If you have
/home/example/www/one/example.php
and you want to include
/home/example/www/two/example.php
into it, then you can do two things:
include("../two/example.php")
which will go from the one/ directory, go up one, into the two directory,
and then access the example.php file. This is called a relative path, since
it is relative to the one/example.php file.
or, you can do
include("/home/example/www/two/example.php");
This is an absolute path.
Use whichever you understand. One thing you may come accross that you need
to understand is that all includes, if you're using relative paths, are
relative to the original file. so if one/example.php includes
two/example.php and then two/example.php tries to include another file using
a relative path, it's going to start relative to the one/ directory, no the
two/ directory. You don't have this problem/issue with absolute paths.

What's your actual code? How are you looking for the match in $matches? If

You have 6 parts in your .txt file if you use | as the delimiter. In your
list() call, though, you only give 4 variables. This leaves two parts that
won't be assigned to a variable and it causes PHP to issue a warning.

Use include("new.php"), not the full URL. The way you're doing it now, your
making a brand new request for the _result_ of a .php page. There is no
relation to this page and new.php when you request it in this manner. If you
just do include('new.php'), then it takes the _php_ code (the whole file)
from new.php and inserts it into this file and runs it. So then your
variables will still work.
also, take away the "global $name" calls, they don't do anything.
> ?>
>
> include("http://www.vocalwebsites.com/footer.php";);
Same thing here... You're getting the parsed _result_ of footer.php, not the
code.

To test it I use an html page called Test2.php with a form in it with enctype=\"multipart/form-data\". Here is the source code: Web site - pages form "; ?> It is a standard straight forward image upload situation. You see that the form directs to itself (action=\"Test2.php\") and on top of the page a simple instruction to see if the file uploads correctly. As far as I can see, this is correct code. Note that the any \\ are to escape "" and further \\ (necesary in echo "" statements). However, when I execute the page, I get the following error messages: Warning: Unable to create '/Web/Images/cartel_feria1.jpg': Permission denied in /Web/Test2.php on line 6 Warning: Unable to move '/tmp/php0jHeNE' to '/Web/Images/cartel_feria1.jpg' in /Web/Test2.php on line 6 It seems to say that I don't have permission to execute a file upload on that page. As you can see by the directory specifications this script runs on a Linux. However, I also tried the same script on a Windows machine, with the corresponding directory specifications of course, and with the same result: permission denied.

You would think strtotime("first of next month") would work, but it doesn't.
This does:
$t = mktime(0,0,0,date('m')+1,1,date('Y'));
Gives you timestamp of first day, next month. Format accordingly with
date().

Re: [PHP] Too many connections - MySQL
There is a setting in MySQL for the max_connections. You just need to increase this. If you're using persistent connections, do some research on them and make sure you really need to be using them.

Just so there's no confusion, with double quoted strings, you can do it one
of two ways.
echo "The value is {$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}";
or
echo "The value is $_SERVER[PHP_SELF]";
Neither is any more right than the other. You can always end the string and
concatinate the variable, too...
echo "The value is " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
In that case, you should always use quotes around the key, single or double,
doesn't matter much.

You are mistaken. $_POST['checkboxes'] will only contain those IDs for which
the boxes were checked. If you do not check a checkbox, it's value is not
sent at all. Try it please.
To create the checkboxes, you'd do something like this:
$result = mysql_query("select rowID from table");
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{ echo '"; }
Now, $_POST['checkboxes'] will be an array of rowID values for _only_ the
boxes that were checked (or $HTTP_POST_VARS['checkboxes'] or even just
$checkboxes, depending on your version and register_globals setting).
Then, use implode() to join them all in a string and add them to your DELETE
query.

Load up a page with phpinfo() in it. In the first block, it'll tell you the location of php.ini that the installation is using. If it's only a directory, then that's where it expects to find php.ini, but it's not there. If it's a full path including php.ini, then that's where it is.

Where you have $_GET[option], PHP is assuming that _option_ is a constant,
since strings have quotes around them (array indexes are strings). Since
there is no constant with that name, though, PHP will then assume that you
meant to use a string.
The second "warning" is caused because there is no index in the _GET array
named "option", so it's an "undefined index"
You should be using this:
if(isset($_GET['option']))
{ //code... }

If you can have:
$array = array(array('1','2','3'),array('2','3','1'));
You can use this:
$key = array_search($search_for,$array[0]);
if($key !== FALSE)
{ $array[1][$key] += $add_value; }
Otherwise, with the way you have your array now, you have to search
$array[0][0], $array[1][0], $array[2][0], etc, with a loop.

Some users have reported this happening after about 30 minutes. Garbage collection isn't exact. It's triggered (by default) on 1% of the hits to your site. So if two are triggered close together, then someone can be logged out rather quickly at 30 minutes. If there is a long pause where the probability just doesn't trigger the garbage collection, then it may take longer. > I'm on LInux, PHP 4.1.2, session.cookie_lifetime setting is 0, > session.use_cookies setting is On, session.use_trans_sid setting is 1, and > other configurations as mentioned above. Why are sessions expiring? Comments > and directions to more information are appreciated. Sessions are lost when the file is cleaned up by garbage collection or when the user closes the browser (by default). So, if you wanted to use the existing session handling routines, you could set the cookie lifetime to a large value so the cookie isn't deleted and set the gc_maxlifetime to a large value, also. You could possibly turn the gc_probability to zero, go garbage collection is never triggered. Another option would be to use session_save_path() within your application to save the session files to a separate directory that's writable by the web server. Since this directory is different from session.save_path specified in php.ini, garbage collection will never occur, so the files will not be deleted. You can also define your own session handler to do what you want. Why not just use a cookie to "remember me" though, instead of keeping the sessions persistant? You're going to end up with a file on your computer for _every_ person that visits the site and the file will not go away.

Re: [PHP] Splitting Article Into Multiple Pages
If you use the method, you could use:

I'm sure there are other ways.

Subject: [PHP] Splitting Article Into Multiple Pages
Greetings!
I have a MySQL database of essays that contain some pretty long articles.
I'm using PHP and instead of throwing all the text up on one mile-long page,
I'd like to be able to automagically break up the article among multiple
pages.
I had thought about using multiple text areas for breaking up the story when
it is published, but fear it may be a bit cumbersome for the writers. They
might be able to handle putting in a tag (like ) to signify page
breaks in the text if it's possible that PHP could spot the tags and split
it into separate pages accordingly.
Any thoughts on this (or where to find sample code to get me started) would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Alan

Good point. You'll still run into problems if $string has double quotes
within it, though. So the original suggestion of using htmlentities() still
applies.

Is it also possible > to have it expire after a given amount of time? Sure, just have a PHP script handle the downloads. Store the files you want to protect outside of your web root, that way no one can ever get to them directly. Now, construct a PHP script that's going to control the download. It can check to make sure the user is logged in if necessary among other things. You can construct a URL such as the following www.yourdomain.com/download.php?file_id=XX&code=YY where XX would identify what file they are trying to download. the "code" could be used to relate to a database or separate file that you can check to see if X minutes have passed or not, so you know whether this link is expired or not. If everything checks out fine, you just use a couple header() calls to set the appropriate headers for the type of file you are offering for download and then use readfile() to send the data. The end result to the user will be a download box if everything validates. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

But, you're right that this won't work. htmlentities() by itself will leave
single quotes alone. What you want to use is
htmlentities($string,ENT_QUOTES);
which will convert single and double quotes to entities.

Very true, I agree. For your solution, though, wouldn't it correctly match a
string such as '2,3,11,12' even though there is no entry that's just one?
I assumed that one could be the last value in the string also, though, and
hence the regular expression.
If the 1 can be the last number in the string, then you could also use
something like your solution (looking for ',1,') and include an OR that
checks for the last two characters being ',1' OR the first two characters
being '1,'
Check if that or the regex is faster.

Re: [PHP] Multi-User phpMyAdmin
IIRC, when you use the 'cookie' or 'http' method of authentication, it'll validate everything against the actual mysql.user database and only let them access what they have permissions to. In other words, you set up your users and permissions in MySQL. When they log into PHPMyAdmin, they're actually logging into MySQL and they get the permissions you set for them. ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: "Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PHP List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 3:31 PM Subject: [PHP] Multi-User phpMyAdmin Can anyone tell me a tutorial on how to setup a multi-user phpmyadmin installation?

Re: [PHP] is_numeric fails and don't know why
Well, since is_numeric('.101972E+00') works on it's own, there must be
something else coming with it from the file that makes it fail. Try to
trim() each number before you test it. Maybe that'll help.

Subject: [PHP] is_numeric fails and don't know why
Hi,
I'm trying to read a file that contains a group of numbers, each of them in
one line of the file. I need to verify that the file is valid, so i read
line by line and test if the line is numeric:
...
$line = fgets ($FileDesc);
$line = trim ($line);
if (!is_numeric ($line))
return 0;
...
It doesn't work for the first and last line of the file. Last line is a \r,
so perhaps it's normal, but I don't understand why it fails with first line.
Example:
.101972E+00 (first line)
-.122713E+01
.784379E-01
-.135826E+01
-.217017E+01
... first line is not considered as a number. Rest of lines are considered
as numbers. Where is the problem? Thanks for your help.

That's not a good idea if your trying to check for an empty variable. An
empty text box, when submitted, will still be set and pass isset(). You
should use empty() is that's really what you're looking for.

The problem is your addition, you need another set of paranthesis around the
whole operation.
This will produce your same error:
$test = "the value is " . $c+1 . " dollars";
whereas this won't:
$test = "the value is " . ($c+1) . " dollars";

Yep. If you want to break out of your string to include you're variables,
then use double quotes.
$string = "insert my " . $variable . " here";
not...
$string = "insert my ' . $variable . ' here";
The error is being caused because of the double quote in Value("ad_id") is
being seen as the end of the string.

If elements are only being added with [], then you should be able to keep a count as you go. Easy way would be to add it like this: $array[$x++] = $your_value; Then you'll have ($x-1) as the element just added, if you need it. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

One other thing to mention... searching. If you search your database, make sure you make the search string match the encoding of your database. So if you store the data encoded, then the search string has to be encoded, too.

I agree. And 4.3 has a html_entity_decode() function that you can use to reverse your encode. So, store it in the format that it's going to be viewed in the most, then decode/encode for the exceptions. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Need to check whether a param exists!
if(isset($_REQUEST['page']))

Should work... If not, let us know. Make sure your case match, too.
?page=hello and ?Page=hello are two different variables.

Subject: [PHP] Need to check whether a param exists!
Hi,
All I'm trying to do is check for the presence of a query string, but
everything I try gives me an Undefined Index error. I want to set a
variable $pagename to whatever was passed as the ?page= value, and if
it wasn't passed, set it to some default value.
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=hello
I also tried is_null, tried if($_REQUEST) by itself, also tried all of
these with $_GET, $_POST, $_GLOBAL, but they all give me Undefined
Index error on that If line.

You can't escape double quotes in HTML... it doesn't understand. So, you're ending up with a hidden element like this: HTML will cut it off at the first " because it doesn't recognize the escape character. The way around this is to use htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars() on your string before you insert it into the value attribute of your form element. It will come out decoded on the the other side, so you don't have to worry about that. Hope that helps. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Almost always means you forgot a closing brace somewhere. Count up your {

Well, that means your strings are never equal, plain and simple. Remember
the comparison will be case sensitive. You should be using strcmp() and it's
family to compare strings, anyhow.

If strtotime() doesn't work on the whole thing, then the easy way to get
'Feb' to 2 is to just create an array.
$month = array('Jan' => 1, 'Feb' => 2, 'Mar' => 3 ... etc.
Then, just use:
$lasttime = mktime($t[3], $t[4], $t[5], $month[$t[1]], $t[0], $t[2]);
