Re: [PHP] Pirate PHP books online?
Jim Moseby wrote: The problem with that, though, is that a lot of publishers require exclusivity, so an author is bound (no pun intended) by contract not to publish elsewhere - including on their own website. The idea of even offering an electronic version should be to drive sales for the hard copy. Maybe offer a Condensed Version electronically, that has enough content that readers can get enough of a feel for the product to drive a buying decision. Throughout, make reference to the full version having more complete content, complete with an order now link. This method worked well for Readers Digest! Or watermark the .pdf with something that uniquely identifies each copy - this could be done with a script at the time of the order. Maybe the name of the original buyer, or the order number, etc. Doesn't prevent the piracy, but does give traceability should you wish to pursue the pirate.

Re: [PHP] Multiple sessions
Stut wrote: I'm confused as to why you need a solution to this 'problem'. How likely is it that you'll have 2 users trying to access your site on the same machine at the same time? If it is likely (although I don't see how) then you need to design your session data as an array keyed on the username, but that would be very insecure. In short are you trying to solve a perceived problem when no such problem actually exists? Think about it for a while before jumping to working around it. There are times when it's handy, but not often. For example, when I'm debugging my code it is useful to be able to log into my application's admin module (which uses sessions to ensure admin rights) without blowing away my user session. In my case, I flick between Firefox and Konqueror. It would be nice to be able to separate the sessions generally though. The case where you have several accounts is just one example.

$var = ³a

I would like for the the entire ³while² statement result to be in a
variable for use outside of the statement. Is that possible?
Try this:
$result = mysql_query(³SELECT filename, page_title FROM table²);
$var = ; // Make sure $var is empty.
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$var .= ³a // Note the period before the equals!
href=\²$htmldir{$row[filename¹]}\²{$row[page_title¹]}/abr /²;
}
echo ³$var²;// Echo $var to the screen.
The .= instead of just plain = will append the result to $var instead
of over-writing it, so by the end of the while loop $var will contain
the whole thing. Then, just echo $var once at the end of the while loop.
Note - script not tested...

What you do is check to see if you have any input, if not then display the form, if you do then validate the input and skip the display. 2) I have a drop down menu on one of my form fields. What I want to do is if a certain item is seelected I want to have a new textbox appear below the drop down menu. Is there a way to do this in php? It depends. If you want the text box to appear immediately then no, you'll need JavaScript. If you're ok with the user hitting submit and being re-desplayed the same page, this time with the text box showing, then that is trivial in php.
