Check the output of phpinfo().

Re: [PHP] If Statement with more than one conclusion

2002-01-03 Thread Adam Baratz

Switch statements work well for these situations as well.  They might be
faster than checking for the item in a list from an array since an array
must be created and searched through.

General programming tip: your method *definitely* wouldn't work.  The or
operator has precendence over the == operator, causing those clauses to be
broken up like this:

$ext=="com"
"net"
"org"
"info"

Only one of those statements needs to be evaluated to true for the contents
of the if statement to be evaluated.  The first one will only be true if
that's what's inside $ext.  The others will always evaluate to true since a
string of anything is considered "true" as a boolean.

As a switch:

> If($ext=="com"or"net"or"org"or"info"){
> Then do this
> }

switch($ext)
{
case "com":
case "net":
case "org":
case "info":
// then do this
break;
}

Your friendly PHP manual will give you more information on the use of
switches.  They're useful for more than just this kind of situation (namely
when you want to process many possible inputs for one variable).

Re: [PHP] MySQL error... but it works!!??

2002-01-05 Thread Adam Baratz

You'll have to give more code, which line you get that error from, etc., to
give us a better idea why it's "not working."

However, a quick tip:

> $crdate = date("Y-m-d");
> $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sites WHERE creation_date = '$crdate'
> AND status = 'T'");

These two lines can be condensed since MySQL has a built-in function to get
the current time/date:

SELECT * FROM sites WHERE creation_date = NOW() AND status = 'T'

I've seen it in the package list for Cygwin, there may be a full port as
well, check Postgres' web site.

Re: [PHP] PHP Parsing Database Text

Yes.  Pull out the text with your method of choice and then use the eval
function passing it the string of text to parse as its only parameter.
