[PHP] newbie question about code

2010-09-10 Thread Adam Williams
I'm looking at someone's code to learn and I'm relatively new to 
programming.  In the code I see commands like:


$code->do_command();

I'm not really sure what that means.  How would that look in procedural 
style programming?  do_command($code); or something else?

[PHP] stripping first comma off and everything after

2010-06-18 Thread Adam Williams
I'm querying data and have results such as a variable named 
$entries[$i]["dn"]:


CN=NTPRTPS3-LANIER-LD335c-LH107-PPRNP9A92,OU=XXf,OU=XX,OU=X,DC=,DC=xx,DC=xxx 



Basically I need to strip off the first command everything after, so 
that I just have it display CN=NTPRTPS3-LANIER-LD335c-LH107-PPRNP9A92.


I tried echo rtrim($entries[$i]["dn"],","); but that doesn't do 
anything.  Any ideas?

[PHP] html email showing instead of line breaks

2009-09-24 Thread Adam Williams
I have users enter support tickets into a a  form and then it 
emails it to me, I'm trying to get the emails to display when they hit 
enter correctly, so i'm changing the \r\n to , but in the email i'm 
getting, its displaying the  instead of a line break:  here is the code:

How come the email is being displayed with  instead of line breaks?



[PHP] running php script as a user?

I have a page where a user authenticates, fills in some information in

execute a php schell script as that user to write some data to their 
/home/username directory.  Since apache web server runs as the user 
nobody, how will I have that script execute as that user so that it can

Daniel Brown wrote:

In a cursory glance, I've noticed the following code:

htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace('\r','',$_POST["problem"])))

You are using a literal '\r' in your str_replace() function.  This
should instead be replaced with double quotes to translate the \r to
its appropriate EOL character:

htmlspecialchars(nl2br(str_replace("\r",'',$_POST["problem"])))

  


Thanks, I didn't know that single vs double quotes in that instance made 
a difference.  I've made the change to my code.

[PHP] fixing new lines from in an email?

2009-06-26 Thread Adam Williams
I have staff fill out a form that contains a  with their 
problem description and emailed to me when they click submit.  Staff 
will press enter in the text area, but I'm having problems converting 
the \r\n into a new line in the email that is sent to me, here is the code:


$subject = "new support request #".mysqli_insert_id($mysqli);
$message = "Hello, ".$_SESSION["full_name"]." has created a new support 
request.  Please log in at http://intra/helpdesk\";>MDAH

."\r\n" ."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

mail('awill...@mdah.state.ms.us', $subject, $message, $headers);

and here is an example email, notice the \n is still in the body of the 
email, and it needs to be converted to a new line in the email:

why isn't nl2br converting the \n to  in the email?



[PHP] graphical integrated development environment recommendations?

2009-05-01 Thread Adam Williams
With the wide range of users on the list, I'm sure there are plenty of 
opinions on what are good graphical IDE's and which ones to avoid.  I'd 
like to get away from using notepad.exe to code with due to its 
limitations.  Something that supports syntax/code highlighting and has 
browser previews would be nice features.  I'm looking at Aptana 
(www.aptana.com) but it seems like it is more complicated to use then it 
should be.  Either Linux or Windows IDE (i run both OSes) 
recommendations would be fine.

[PHP] how to determine if a mysql query returns an empty set?

2009-04-23 Thread Adam Williams
Is there a way to determine if a mysql query returns an empty set?  I am 
selecting 10 results at a time with a limit statement and need to know 
when i've ran out of rows.  I've only got 2 rows in the database, so 
when I start with row 10, it returns an empty set.  I have the following 
code:


//running this query gives "Empty set (0.00 sec)" in mysql console.

$get_requests = "select form_id, full_name, email, phone, division, 
location, date_format(time_of_request, '%m-%d-%Y %r') as 
time_of_request, contact_time, problem, accepted_by, 
date_format(accepted_time, '%m-%d-%Y %r') as accepted_time, resolution, 
date_format(resolution_time, '%m-%d-%Y %r') as resolution_time from form 
where ((stage = 'Closed') && (email = 'awilliam' )) order by 
resolution_time limit 10 , 10"


//checks to see if it returns nothing, then print that you are at the 
end of the results


   if (!$mysqli_get_requests = 
mysqli_query($mysqli,$get_requests))

   {
   echo "You have reached the end of the results.
   Please press the back button.
   ";
   exit;
   }

but that doesn't work, because I guess an empty set is not false, 0, or 
NULL?

Hi,
Well I'ld say the reason is quite obvious. You have simply not set

// 
 
I'ld use SID

 }

--viewpending.php -

 
 
I hope this helps. try it.

Well the thing is, $_SESSION["username"] is set.  If I change option.php to:

   header('Location: 
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.session_id());

   }
*/
?>

and click on View Pending Requests, it prints:

session username is awilliam




[PHP] header() and passing sessions

2009-04-15 Thread Adam Williams
I need some help passing a session variable with a header() function.  
According to www.php.net/header, the documentation states:


*Note*: Session ID is not passed with Location header even if 
session.use_trans_sid 
 is enabled. It 
must by passed manually using *SID* constant.


so, I'm trying to manually pass the SID, but not having any luck.  Here 
is a snippet of my code:


There is a file login.php which has session_start(); and sets 
$_SESSION["username"] with the username you logged in with from 
index.php and has a form to click View Pending Requests which has the 
action of option.php.


-- option.php --
   header('Location: 
http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID='.session_id());

   }
?>

--viewpending.php --


so you click on View Pending Requests, and the URL in your browser is:

http://intra.mdah.state.ms.us/helpdesk/viewpending.php?PHPSESSID=du75p41hel9k1vpuah799l2ce7

but viewpending.php says "You have not logged in".  Why is that?

This may be best handled in your sorting code.  What does it look like?
  


yeah just a second ago a big lightbulb went off in my head and i fixed 
my code to add a \r\n on saving, and strip it on viewing.  I sort on 
viewing, not sort on saving.  The viewing code looks like:


$biglist = "";

$filename = "/usr/local/majordomo/lists/".$edit;

$fp = fopen($filename, "r") or die ("Couldn't open $filename");
if ($fp)
   {
   while (!feof($fp))
   {
   $thedata = fgets($fp);
   $buildingvar[] = $thedata;
   }
   sort($buildingvar);
   foreach ($buildingvar as $key => $val)
   {
if ($val != "\r\n")  //gets rid of 
empty whitespace lines

   {
   $biglist .= "$val";
   }

   }

   }

//$biglist gets echo'd into a textarea box below.

but now right before it is saved, i'll add a new line

$list .="\r\n";

$fp = fopen($filename, "w") or die ("Couldn't open $filename");
if ($fp)
   {
   fwrite($fp, $list);
   echo "
   Saving Page
   
   
   Your mailing list has been updated.";
   }

fclose($fp);

so that upon viewing, if they didn't press enter, a \r\n will be added, 
and even if they did add press enter on the last line, it'll be stripped 
out upon viewing the list of email addresses.

Hi Everyone! :)

Just a quick question, I've done some googling but haven't been able

someone's website, the website is just static HTML files, and she 
doesn't want to redo the entire website to make it dynamic.


What I am thinking (And please correct me when I'm wrong!) is that if 
I maintain a database with keywords in it, and links to the pages it 
exists on, I can implement the search easily enough without redoing 
the entire website. IE: Someone searches the database for "Flowers" 
and flowers are the main product on: "Flowers.html" and 
"fakeFlowers.html" so on the page, I would display:


Search Term: Flowers

Search Results:
link.to.site/Flowers.html
link.to.other.site/fakeFlowers.html

Is there anything wrong with the way I'm thinking? Or is it that there 
is a better way to search through a static HTML site?

If you enter it in that format MySQL will get it right without regard

I'm running mysql_real_escape_string(); on all of the variables prior to 
inserting/updating them.


I don't see the point in needing to convert it to a timestamp.  The 
length_start and length_end fields in MySQL are defined as date fields.  
All I care about is the date, not the hours/minutes/seconds.  If I 
insert it as date('Y-m-d', $length_start) then when I SELECT it back 
out, I will still have to do a date conversion back to MM-DD- when I 
display it to the user.

   die ("you have entered an invalid date");
   }

so if the person enters 01-15-2008 its fine, but 1-15-2008 dies.

I'm having users enter dates in MM-DD- format.  is there a way to 
check if what they have entered is invalid (like if they enter 1-15-2008

[PHP] handling ' with mysql/php insert and select

2008-01-03 Thread Adam Williams
In my form, I am parsing all the text inputs through 
mysql_real_escape_string() before inserting the data.  however, when I 
look at the SQL query in PHP, when I type the word blah's to my text box 
variable, and then insert it into mysql after being ran through 
mysql_real_escape_string(), it does:


insert into contract (contract_id, responsibility) VALUES (15, 'blah\\\'s')

and when I query the in mysql/PHP it shows:

select responsibility from contract where contract_id = 15;
++
| responsibility |
++
| blah\'s|
++
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

and when I run that select statement in PHP it prints blah\'s on the 
screen.  I want it to print back blah's without the \.  So what are my 
options?  run every variable through stripslashes(); before printing 
them to the screen?

Re: [PHP] how to handle inserting special characters into a mysql field

2007-12-14 Thread Adam Williams
Thanks for all the replies everyone.  I have a question on 
mysql_real_escape_string().  The PHP example page shows:


$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'",
   mysql_real_escape_string($user),
   mysql_real_escape_string($password));

and I understand it uses the %s because of sprintf(), to indicate the 
data is a string.  However, thats not syntax I'm used to seeing.  If I 
rewrite the code to the following below, will it return the same results 
or error when queried?


$user = mysql_real_escape_string($user);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password)
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='$user' AND password='$password'";

[PHP] mysql DATE_FORMAT() question

2007-12-12 Thread Adam Williams

I ran the commands:

CREATE TABLE testtable ( testdate DATETIME);

INSERT INTO testtable (testdate) VALUES (now());

and then I want to select it but format it to show the date only (not 
the time, and yes I know I could use DATE instead of DATETIME, but there 
may be cases where I need to show the time also).  So I run:


select DATE_FORMAT(testdate, '%m\-%d\-%Y') from testtable AS date_column;
+-+
| DATE_FORMAT(testdate, '%m\-%d\-%Y') |
+-+
| 12-12-2007  |
+-+


now my question is, why is the column heading DATE_FORMAT(testdate, 
'%m\-%d\-%Y') even though I told it to be called date_column?

[PHP] parsing text for special characters

I've got an html form, and I have PHP parse the message variables for 
special characters so when I concatenate all off the message variables

parse the text for special characters.  what about if I were to have the 
$message inserted into a mysql field?  how would I need to handle 
special characters that way?


$need_message = $_POST['need_message'];

  function flash_encode($need_message)
  {
 $string = rawurlencode(utf8_encode($need_message));

 $string = str_replace("%C2%96", "-", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%91", "%27", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%92", "%27", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%82", "%27", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%93", "%22", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%94", "%22", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%84", "%22", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%8B", "%C2%AB", $need_message);
 $string = str_replace("%C2%9B", "%C2%BB", $need_message);

 return $need_message;
  }

//and then there are $topic_message, $fee_message, etc and they all get 
concatenated with

$message .= needs_message;
$message .= $topics_message;
$message .= $fee message;

//emails the $message
mail($to, "MMH Suggestion", "$message", "$headers");

Turn notices on. You will then get lots of notices about the use of an 
undefined constant "option".


You should be using $_POST['option'] instead - notice the quotes.

Your HTML should really have double quotes around the attributes but 
that's beyond the scope of this list.



He's still going to get an invalid argument warning though since PHP
will automatically convert the unquoted key to a string and then look up
the value. The problem is that the value doesn't exist or is not an
array as expected.

Cheers,
Rob.
  


Yeah, thats the problem I'm having for some reason.  When I do:

print_r($_POST['option']);

it prints nothing.

[PHP] grabbing source of a URL

I want to grab a URL's source (all the code from a link) and then cut out 
a block of text from it, throw it away, and then show the page.

For example, if I have page.html with 3 lines:

hi


this is line a


this is line b


this is line c



i want my php script to grab the source of page.html, strip out:


this is line a


and then display what is left, how would I go about doing this?  I don't 
know what function to use to grab the page.  for the string to remove, I 
know I can probably do a str_replace and replace the known code with 
nothing.

[PHP] stripping text from a string

Hi, I use a piece of proprietary software at work that uses weird session 
ID strings in the URL.  A sample URL looks like:

The weird session ID string changes each time you login.  Anyway, how can 
I strip out all of the text between the last / and the ? and insert it 
into another variable?  So in this case, the end result would be a 
variable containing:

CC8V7H1JF4LNBVP5KARL4KGE8AHIKP1I72JSBG6AYQSMK8YF4Y-01471

Hi, I think I just figured out my problem...I had to use rtrim($line) 
because I think there was a \n or an invisible character at the end of the 
line that was being passed to the http:// server from looking at the 
server's access_log and error_log files.  So now it works except on the 
very last line it processes, it prints "does not exist", so there is still 
some sort of a hidden character but its not affecting fetching the URLs

[PHP] opposite of array_unique()?

2004-08-04 Thread Adam Williams
array_unique() removes duplicate values from an array.

Is there an opposite function or way of keeping all values in a single 
dimentional array that are duplicates and removing all that are 
duplicates?

for example if I have an array:

array( [0] => 'dog', [1] => 'cat', [2] => 'rabbit', [3] => 'cat')

how do I make it just have array ( [0] => 'cat' )?  i want to drop the 
non-duplicates and trim the array to only have one of the duplicates?

[PHP] single dimensional array questions

2004-08-04 Thread Adam Williams
Here is my snippet of code.  It takes cardnum from the database, removes 
the duplicates for each individual date, and then counts how many discrete 
numbers there was.



//database connect and selection here, now my sql statement:

$sql = "select convert( varchar,eventime, 110) as date, cardnum from events, 
badge where eventtype=0 and devid=1 and events.cardnum=badge.id and badge.type
= 1 and convert(varchar,eventime,110) between '$startdate' and '$enddate' 
group by events.eventime, events.cardnum order by 
convert(varchar,eventime,110), cardnum";

$query = mssql_query($sql);

while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($query))
{

$array[$row['date']][] = $row['cardnum'];
}

$i = 0;
$j = 0;

foreach ( $array as $key => $value)
{
echo 'date: '. $key . ', count: ' . count(array_unique($value));
echo "";
$i += count(array_unique($value));
$j++;
}
$query = mssql_query($sql);

while ($row = mssql_fetch_assoc($query))
{

$array[$row['date']][] = $row['cardnum'];
}

$i = 0;
$j = 0;

foreach ( $array as $key => $value)
{
echo 'date: '. $key . ', count: ' . count(array_unique($value));
echo "";
$i += count(array_unique($value));
$j++;
}
echo "total = $i";
echo "average = ".round(($i/$j),1);



And now my question.  What I need to do is create a single 
dimensional array that contains each number that 
count(array_unique($value)) is counting.  how would I do this?  I can't 
use the SQL query because I have to remove duplicate cardnums for each 
date.

I was thinking of doing:

$patrons = array();

//inside of the foreach have this:
$patrons[] = array_unique($value);

but that doesn't seem to work.  because when I print_r($patrons) its 
creating an array of arrays of an array.  here is from july 1 to july 7th.

[PHP] explode()

2003-11-17 Thread Adam Williams
I am having a user enter a phrase into a textbox, and then I need to 
seperate the words he has typed into variables so I can use each one 
in an sql statement.  I know I will use the explode() function to do this, 
but how will I know how many variables I've created.  For instance, if a 
user types in 3 words seperated by spaces, how will I know i'll have 
var[0] through var[2]?  how about when they type in 2 words or 4 words?  
How will I know how many words they have typed in?  The only way I can 
think of to do this is:

// $var is the input after being ran through explode()

$i = 0;
while ($var[$i])
{
$i++;
}

I will then take the data they enter and create the sql statement:

$j = 0;

$sql = "select subject from subfile where";

while ($j <= $i)
{
$j++;
$sql .= "suject matches '*$var[$j]*'";

if ( $j != $i)
{
$sql .= " and ";
}
}




but I think there has to be a better way to do this.  any ideas?

You don't say which database you are using, but several allow for full

[PHP] sql query/displaying results question

2003-10-23 Thread Adam Williams
I have a php page I am writing with an SQL query.  I am going to query the 
database for a couple of fields.  One of the fields I am querying is the 
title oh the document someone is searching for.  The title will be used at 
the top of the html page and will say:

"you are searching for document number ###: document $title" 

but then later on down on the page when it starts returning your results:

"document $title: document $location"

So I will have 1 query that needs to print the document $title at the top 
of the page and then when it starts showing results.  I won't know what 
the document title is until the database is queried (because they are 
doing a query for keywords in the documents stored in that table in the 
database).  So at the top of the page can I use my $title from the 
database and then when I start showing the results, can I show the same 
document $title from the 1st row returned if I am using a while loop, or 
because I already used $title at the top from the 1st row returned, will 
it want to start at the 2nd row returned when I start my while loop to 
return all of the data?

I want to allow access to a php page but am not sure how I should verify

certain webpage and keep everyone else out.  I have written code to figure 
out what someone's IP is, but am not sure about how I should verify 
whether the IP is in the range of 10.8.4.* or 10.8.5.*.  Any suggestions?  
I was thinking of either using a regex (but I dunno regex so I'd have to 
learn it) to stip off the .* octect and then compare the rest of the IP 
and see if its either 10.8.4 or 10.8.5, or create a for loop and loop 
through 1-254 and cat it to the end of 10.8.4. and 10.8.5. and compare it 
to the IP they are coming from.  Any suggestions on how I should do it?

Here is the code I have to get the IP:

if (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"))
{
$ip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP");
}
elseif (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"))
{
$ip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");

Hi,

when I do that, nothing is written to news.txt, and I'm not sure why.  
This is the entire script:

unable to write to news.txt";
exit;
}

Header("Location: http://archives1.mdah.state.ms.us/news.php"; );
}

News update

Please make your changes below and then click submit:

echo "";
$fp = fopen( "news.txt", 'r' );
while ( ! feof ($fp) )

$line = fgets( $fp,  );
$line = htmlspecialchars(nl2br($line));

fclose($fp);

[PHP] fwrite() question

2003-07-01 Thread Adam Williams
Hello,

I have a block of code:

unable to write to news.txt";
exit;
}

Header("Location: http://archives1.mdah.state.ms.us/news.php"; );
}
?>

and when I access it, I get the error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or 
`T_NUM_STRING' in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/updatenews.php on line 5

and line 5 is:

$success = fwrite( $fp, "$POST_['news']" );

which looks ok to me.  When I take out the " " around $POST_['news'] it 
doesn't generate an error, but then it doesn't write anything to news.txt.  
news.txt is owned by nobody with 755 and apache runs as nobody.

I'd appreciate any help.  Thanks!

Re: [PHP] reading CD information

2003-02-05 Thread Adam Williams
Unfortunately not.  I'm putting PHP on a windows 95 computer and the
person will put a cdrom into the cd drive.  Then they will double click on
a shortcut that will run the php executable with script, and the script
will read the cd label.  depending on what the cd label is, it will call
the correct .exe file on it to load the application.

Its for a library and will be used by the general public, so I am making
it as simple as possible :)

RE: [PHP] reading CD information

It would be in the cd-rom drive of the webserver.  The CD's would be
rotated periodically and the only way I have to identify what is on each
cd and which .exe to run on it is by identifying it by its cd label.  I've
searched google and php.net but haven't found a function that can read cd
labels.  Any help is appreciated.

[PHP] reading CD information

2003-02-05 Thread Adam Williams
Is it possible to have PHP read cd label information?  You know in windows
like after you put in a CD and use Windows Explorer and go to your CD rom
drive's letter it will say like D: (MSOffice2K) or D: (date of burned cd)
or D: (XPProCD), etc...If you know what I am talking about, is there a way
to have PHP read that cd label?
