RE: [PHP] mail() silly question
As a general rule, use ' ' for literal strings and for strings you want escaped characters and such to take effect. Example: echo 'foo\nbar' will echo foo\nbar where as echo foo\nbar will echo foo bar Hope this helped.

Here it comes: I had a mail (specifically in the headers) function call like this: $header = ; $header .= 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $header .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n; $header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n; $header .= Reply-To: .utf8_decode($nombreVar). .utf8_decode($apellidosVar).$mailVar\r\n; $header .= X-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion().\r\n; $header .= X-Priority: 1; and the mail(...) function always returned TRUE, but the mail was NOT sent. After hours of... trial/error debugging, I noticed from an example that it should be: $header = ; $header .= 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' . \r\n; $header .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . \r\n; $header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . \r\n; $header .= Reply-To: .utf8_decode($nombreVar). .utf8_decode($apellidosVar).$mailVar\r\n; $header .= X-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion().\r\n; $header .= X-Priority: 1; Question: Why? What's the real difference between $header .= 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' . \r\n; and $header .= 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; ? If somebody knows, please let me know!

[PHP] Authentication script working in firefox but strange results in ie7
I mostly use Firefox but still I check to make sure everything works in IE7
and other browsers equally as well. I had strange results here. I have a
simple login form(user/pass field and submit button). I have the actual
login request script in a common php file. I have an Authentication class
that handles my auth stuff. With the code the way it is, it works perfectly
in firefox. However, in IE7 when you log in it shows the restricted stuff
but as soon as you navigate anywhere else you no longer have access. If you
login again then it works fine just like the first time you logged in using
firefox.
Now if you change $_SESSION['uid']== to !isset($_SESSION['uid']) then it
works perfectly on both browsers.
Anyhow, rifle through the code -- just something to think about. Anybody
else have a similar issue before?
Web Code:
Restricted stuff:
?php
if ($_SESSION['uid']==){
$ops-postLogin($e);
}else{
?
Logged in stuff(Restricted stuff)
?php } ?
Common snippet:
if ($_POST[action]==login){
$auth = new
Authentication($host,$user,$pass,dbname,http://aerocore.net/;);
if
($auth-verifyCreds($_POST['username'],$_POST['password'],base_contributors
,id))
{
$_SESSION['uid'] = $auth-retId;
$auth-failSafe();
break;
}
}
Authentication:
class Authentication extends SQL {
public $errorMsg;
public $retId;
public $clean = array();
public $fail;
public function __construct($host,$user,$pass,$dbname =
null,$fail)
{
parent::__construct($host,$user,$pass,$dbname =
null);
$this-fail=$fail;
}
public function failSafe()
{
header(Location: {$this-fail});
}
final public function sanitizeLoginCreds($user, $pass)
{
$this-clean['username']=strip_tags($user);
$this-clean['password']=strip_tags($pass);
if (!ctype_alnum($this-clean['username'])){
$this-clean['username']=; }
if (!ctype_alnum($this-clean['password'])){
$this-clean['password']=; }
}
final public function verifyCreds($user, $pass, $table,
$retVal = null)
{
$this-sanitizeLoginCreds($user,$pass);

[PHP] When and when not to use ' and
I noticed today when I was using mysql_fetch_array something weird happened.
Database:
| id |
1
Code:
$colVal = id;
$foo=mysql_fetch_array($someresult, MYSQL_ASSOC);
Now all I wanted to do was get the value of 1 into the variable $bar. Please
assume $someresult was the direct product of mysql_query(select * from
thistable);.
$bar = $foo['$colVal']; // didn't work
$bar = $foo['{$colVal}']; // didn't work
$bar = $foo[$colVal]; // worked
$bar = $foo['id']; // obviously worked
What I don't understand is why the first or second option didn't work.
Can anybody shed some light on this?

RE: [PHP] OOB problem, super stumped.
Jim,
I put the link identifier back and made your recommended changes and now
everything works perfect. Can't thank you enough.
Is the reason you have to call the parents __construct() method because the
open mysql connection only exists within the scope of the object it was
created in, unless specified otherwise(calling parents constructor)?

You didn't call the __construct() method of your parent.
The above code, should be like this
public function __construct($host,$user,$pass,$dbname = null) {
parent::__construct($host,$user,$pass,$dbname);
echo Auth constructed;
}
You were forgetting to call to the parent and have it initialize the DB
connection.
In the second part, the $auth-verifyCreds() call, it didn't create a
valid db connection to pass as the second arg to the mysql_query() call.
And by not passing the $this-conx as the second arg, you are telling it
to use the most recently opened mysql connection.
Hope this clears up why it was failing on the latter mysql_query() calls.

RE: [PHP] OOB problem, super stumped. (resolved)
Strangely enough the only thing that was wrong was: $this-result=mysql_query($query, $this-conx); I removed $this-conx so it looked like $this-result=mysql_query($query); And now everything works perfect. I also fixed the line you recommended I fix. I must have overlooked that =D. But anyhow, problem solved.

So the next query has a null resource and so fails and generates the error you are seeing. You've already set the value of $this-conx in your connection() method so even if you did return the resource identifier it would be redundant.

$start = 0;

isset($_GET['page'])
is_numeric($_GET['page'])
$_GET['page'] = $page

Subject: [PHP] Too many records to display in one web page
Hi All
I am developing a web site that interacts with a MySQL database. When I
run
a query and display the records in a web page, this can become a problem
because there might be too many records to be displayed in one single web
page so I am trying to divide the total number of records and display them
in multiple pages. Let's say, if the query returns 100 records then I
would
like to display the first 10 records and then put a navigation bar where I
can go to the next 10 or return to the previous 10 records
Is this done at a SQL or PHP level ? any experience on doing this ?
Thanks a bunch
Eduardo

RE: [PHP] What does mean?
Heredoc is truly a great thing. You'll learn to love heredoc whenever you have tons of stuff you need to print instead of escaping php. A great example is output that comes from classes, where you can't break the class into multiple code blocks. Just don't forget that heredoc end part has to be on the very next line with no whitespace to start. Confusing at times. Cheers! -BRIAN Ok, let's gather some stats to see how many people actually use the heredoc syntax. I created this quick little form to gather the data.
