Re: [PHP] MySQL and PHP
Brandon,
Please do some 'homework': Will the native query run from the MySQL command line, or
in a admin tool? Have you
tried varying the number of fields? What are the column specifications?
In and amongst this you might like to check where you should have spaces (a) for
legibility (particularly if
you're asking us to read it to help you), and (b) for machine parsing requirements.

Try using single quotes rather than doubles in the values e.g.

QUERY:
INSERT INTO page_properties
(page_name,open_menu,top_image,title_image,side_images)
VALUES(30daypolicy,comp_info2,top_aboutus,titlebar_aboutus,30da

If mail is working, then agree with your point about config.
Appendix B. Using PHP from the command line
Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s [-v] [-i] [-f file] | {file [args...]}
-q Quiet-mode. Suppress HTTP Header output.
-C Do not chdir to the script's directory
-c path Look for php.ini file in this directory
PHP is case sensitive (whereas Windows is not).
Where is the .ini file? (not the PHP.exe file)
Does this help?

Re: [PHP] Display a mesagge and redirect (newbie)
Niklas, No good, since meta starts counting when page is first opened, so Don't think this is applicable - When is the page opened: after the script reaches the meta, or after the script concludes and the web server sends the page to the browser? If the latter, then the speed of the connection affects the browser wait until the page is (temporarily) displayed, but not the period of display. Yes if the page being temporarily displayed is bloated, then the redirect-time period must be chosen with due care. Ultimately it seems way too complicated, but you could use PHP output buffering. By then I think the JavaScript alternative will sound far more attractive...

This text gets sent using mail() -- works great for everything but Outlook which seems to lose all the line breaks and generally mungs the formatting to heck. I've tried sending a Content-type: text/plain; header ... doesn't help.

Thus use of persistence does not buy you into other issues. =If I leave it there, you're going to come back with another question, aren't you!? =This is my understanding. A connection is set up to enable communication between the PHP script and the RDBMS. The connection is exclusive to the script and only lasts the life of the script. Now let's look at the word script. Each user/browser is processed within the (Apache) web server as a separate child process. If the process calls for PHP processing, then what happens in one process within the web server is kept quite separate from what's happening in another process. This applies even if they both use PHP, and even if they are both running the same PHP script, and even against the same MySQL db/tbl, ie because of the way Apache works, there is no 'sharing' of connections/cleverness in a bid for extra 'efficiency'. =Thus there is no way for my (connection) use of the db to interfere with your (separate connection) use of the same, in terms of AUTO_INCREMENT, INSERT IDs, and suchlike. =I'd really like to hear from someone who can talk more authoritatively on the subject though! =Regards, =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] mysql_insert_id?
Hi Jimmy, 2 because the (function argument) controlling feature is the connection, it is not possible for another concurrent user to 'steal' your ID or influence the ID returned to you - it's all Ok, assume you are correct, but what if you are using persistent connections (ie pconnet)? don't worry, persistent connection is per-child-process basis, so concurrent users will use different connection to DB. the only problem i can think of might occur with pconnect is, last_insert_id() will return you the last inserted ID from previous 'session', not current 'session'. to prevent this, you should call last_insert_id() only when your INSERT query executed succesfully. =Of course a right-living boy like me, cannot conceive of why one would look up LAST_INSERT other than immediately after the INSERT/UPDATE command... =However this is an interesting thought and you are right. There are differences between the MySQL LAST_INSERT_ID and the PHP MySQL_ =The MySQL manual (6.3.6.2 Miscellaneous Functions) talks about Returns the last automatically generated value that was inserted into an AUTO_INCREMENT column...The last ID that was generated is maintained in the server on a per-connection basis., and a number of other if-s, but-s, and maybe-s that will get everyone going. =(However I believe it also answer's Martin's question!) =What I have noted is that the PHP manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php) works slightly differently (and possibly more simply), as well as emphasising the immediately after relationship between this call and the preceding INSERT.

Re: [PHP] mysql_insert_id?
Hi Jimmy, the only problem i can think of might occur with pconnect is, last_insert_id() will return you the last inserted ID from previous 'session', not current 'session'. to prevent this, you should call last_insert_id() only when your INSERT query executed succesfully. =Of course a right-living boy like me, cannot conceive of why one would look up LAST_INSERT other than immediately after the INSERT/UPDATE command... calling last_insert_id() after INSERT is the number one rule of course :) What i mean was, what if the INSERT query fail, but the script still execute the last_insert_id() function? Most probably the returned value would be wrong, because it will return the last_insert_id of previous INSERT query (from previous 'session') =right living was a (poor) joke following your previous post's .SIG file aphorism...not a criticism. Now that you have mentioned the possibility, I can imagine the odd (very odd) use for collecting an ID from a preceding interraction (with the database). =session is not the correct word/its use is potentially confusing (perhaps that's why it's in quotes?) - persistence refers to the continuing connection between PHP and MySQL. =What I have noted is that the PHP manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php) works slightly differently (and possibly more simply), as well as emphasising the immediately after relationship between this call and the preceding INSERT. I might be wrong, but i think PHP's mysql_insert_id() must be using MySQL's API function call. Meaning, it will return whatever value MySQL return. Or in other word, mysql_insert_id() and last_insert_id() will return the same result. I have look thru the manual link above, and i think the phrase immediately after in the manual is more to advise the user to do mysql_insert_id() immediately after the INSERT query, because last_insert_id value might get overwritten by the newest one. the immediately after phares in the manual doesn't mean that PHP's mysql_insert_id() function is somehow tied to the previous/last INSERT query, so that if the INSERT fails then mysql_insert_id() will intelegently return the correct value. just my 1 cent =Agreed it would seem perfectly logical that the PHP function simply calls the MySQL source function. However it is also possible that in order to save time the LAST_ID information is built into the resultset coming back from the INSERT - thus when mysql_insert_id() is called PHP would not need to go back to MySQL/last_insert_id(). On the other hand, the apparent differences between the two manuals may simply be in the expression of two authors... I don't know [but would welcome competent advice!] =the immediate advice is transparently logical best practice. =I'm not sure that I've understood your last point. The comparison/difference, as I read/understood it, is that if the INSERT works then both functions will operate correctly. However if the INSERT fails, then MySQL's last_insert_id() will return the ID of the last record successfully inserted during the connection (whenever that was) - without necessarily any recognition of an immediately preceding failure. Whereas PHP's mysql_insert_id() is keyed to the resource identifier and returns zero if the **latest** INSERT failed for some reason (and the rationale for my earlier comments/comparison). =My thinking is that the PHP rationale makes the most/safest sense to me, and if I'm 'in' PHP it seems best to stick with that 'mode' than to go 'out' to MySQL to find the 'same' answer. =Intriguing stuff, =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Re: [PHP] need help looping through each record with a query -stumped
Brian, first off, Martin your suggestion looks great but I don't think its SQL syntax is supported by MySQL. It's a good start though - gives me something to work with :) =until it is tried, you won't know! From an SQL point of view it looks ok. In fairness to Martin, from the 'further information' given since it may not do everything you want... Unfortunately, since this database is ancient and far from normalized/optimized, neither table uses unique id's. So looking at the scores table the fields are Username, Month, and Score. Another big dud is the fact that the Month field is varchar, not a date field. So this makes it difficult to sort, as Mehmet suggested. And this also makes it difficult to write a function to automate the 3 consecutive month aspect that's required. That's why I had to code to look for specific months - this month (January) counting back 3 (December, November, October). Students have until the end of the month to take the monthly test - so they can maintain certification if they have passed Dec., Nov., and Oct.'s tests. Or, if they have taken and passed January's test, they can be certified if they've also passed December and November. Make sense? 4 months total: if the first 3 are passed and/or last 3 are passed the student is certified. ... =regardless of the age of the database, the data appears to be normalised (to the description given) however it is definitely NOT optimised. You will notice that each of the contributors has been attempting to work in MySQL, but you still have the other option - that of tidying up and debugging your torturous PHP code! The PHP effort can be used to attempt to 'recover' from the poor database structure, but as you have observed, at some cost - particularly if you ask yourself how you are going to get things to work in February... The problem with persisting in this is that you have a weak database structure AND you have some hairy (hard to understand) PHP code as a work-around (and may God bless all who sail in her)! =like the others, my recommendations consist of revisiting your business rules and then 'optimising' the database/data structure - best to fix the problem at its source! =the idea that the NAME of each month should be used for processing is causing major problems. The name of the month is a LABEL, ie is very useful at the tops of reports, letters, newspapers, etc. It is NOT a tool for calculations. If you'd like to take a look at the archives of the PHP discussion list, you'll find my contribution on this topic dated a few days ago entitled: counting with dates (help!) talking about the three primary date formats and their uses. =So if I sit a test this month (January), and the last month of last year (December), and the second-last month of 2000 (November) [and with blinding arrogance, let me assume that I would pass each with flying colors (cough, cough)], and further assume that I haven't sat any other tests [much more my speed!]; the current logic (apparently) credits me with a certification!? [thank you] Now before anyone following this labrythine logic starts to laugh, let me say that there are good reasons/procedures that might be in place to prevent such a stupidity happening - but they will almost certainly also make the process of keeping historical records more difficult. =how does the system keep track of people who do not sit a test during a particular month? =and the other way around: if I sit the test today and fail [please no jeers, I'm very sensitive] do the rules allow/is it possible for me to 'resit' during January. Thus is it possible for me to sit (and pass) single tests in Nov and Dec, but sit two tests in Jan - one a 'fail' and one a 'pass'. If so, are you looking at my last three tests with a view to certification, or are you looking at my last three passes (during the pertinent three months)? =further: can we assume that a record will be entered into the scores table regardless of whether the person passed or failed? (I have assumed so) =while on this theme, how is the system to react if tests are not held during a particular month, eg the certification center is closed for summer/Christmas vacation, or out of respect for September 11? =another question about 'rules': the problem description indicates that it is possible for a person to have sat January's test already/early in the month, but it is also possible that (s)he has not. Are the tests held on a particular date for all candidates, or does the system allow each candidate to pick his/her own test date? (which also implies that the January date for all candidates will either be the same, or is potentially very different) - this may make it easier/harder to define an SQL query. =finally, if I have understood correctly, certification is calculated by three 'month' units, not 90-days. Thus the rule is not three passes in the last 90 days, but is in fact (today) something like the last 100

RE: [PHP] counting with dates (help!)Hi Sander, (and Chris, and Martin) $today = date(Ymd, mktime(0,0,0, date(m),date(d),date(Y))); $last_week = date(Ymd, mktime(0,0,0, date(m),date(d)-7,date(Y))); echo ($today - $last_week); The result is a number like 8876 (20020107-20011231 = 8876) But in date thinking it should be 7! No, that's the difference in time represented by the number of seconds. You still need to work with it a little more. 8876 / 60 = number of hours /* 60 = number of seconds in an hour */ 8876 / 60 / 24 = number of days. /* 24 = number of hours in a day */ =I'm sorry but neither the above, nor the suggestion of Julian dates was correct (in all cases). The two numbers ($today and $last_week) generated in the PHP code above are in CCYYMMDD format (as used by MySQL to store dates, BTW). =So you are correct (Sander): 20020107 less 20011231 equals 8876 =but this number is meaningless. If the formulae proposed above are applied, the answer is not 7 days. =Similarly (Julian dates = CCYYDDD format) 2002007 less 2001365 equals 642 =However let's jump forward in time, to tomorrow (hey what's 45 minutes between friends?): 20020108 less 20020101 equals 0007 =and: 2002008 less 2002001 equals 007 =woohoo! How come they 'work' tomorrow but not today? Because (using the first format) whilst the last and second to last digits represent days (hence it 'works' tomorrow), the preceding pair of digits represent months, and the procession of days into months is not a decimal progression. (smack your forehead into the wall now...but don't do it too often, because no matter how good it feels, it'll feel a whole lot better when you stop!) =this is also the reason that using a Julian date format won't work - they look like decimal numbers (look like a duck), you can perform arithmetic on them (walk like a duck), but if your calculation spans a year-break you will discover that they are not really decimal numbers (and they bark like a dog). =The three main date formats are: 1 CCYYMMDD (as mentioned above) because it is the way MySQL does things. You can't use this for 'real arithmetic' as we've just discussed, but you can do comparisons, eg is 'today' 'yesterday' (when I was young...) 2 dd-mm-ccyy (or variant) which is the way humans like to read their dates. This is for appearances, and once again not for arithmetic/logic.

Re: [PHP] Formats with PHP
Hey Steve, Im need to generate an email and Im trying to keep the exact spacing I use when I define the body of the email. When the email is sent and i view it with Outlick Express or simply use Pine, the spacing is all out of wack. (Too many spaces here, not enough spaces there) I think i need something like Perl's Format features but not sure. Any advice ? Is this a plain text email message or MIME encoded, eg HTML? If the former, then the spaces have been inserted by 'authoring' program. If by spacing you are referring to vertical spacing/wrapping, then that is limited by some email clients. Have you ECHOed the message body prior to message transmission to verify when/where the spaces are added/subtracted? =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] how to create html tables in php
Hi Sander, I made a database with bookmarks, these bookmarks are catogarized by type. Now I want to display those bookmarks in tables by category. This works already fine. The only problem I have is that the tables are very difficult to handle. I want to make 4 tables in a row (so that will be 4 dif categories with bookmarks) and after that, the next table should start under the first one. Like this categorycategorycategorycategory xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxx categorycategorycategorycategory xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xxx (x = a weblink ;-) The (dutch) website where you can find a full example for what I mean: http://www.startpagina.nl/ The description (above) shows category-columns of a regular/uniform length/height, so that the second set of four category headings all appear on the same line. The web page example does not look like this, but the next category starts immediately under the last entry of its columnar predecessor... How are you retrieving the bookmarks from the database - all in one query, or a series of queries to retrieve a category at a time? (I'll assume the former) Here are two ways to implement in PHP (depending upon how you want to 'visualise' the data): 1 table - see the data as four columns Set up a two-dimensional array in RAM, and by working through the db-resultset a row at a time populate the table with column-row data by working down each column until the category changes and then shifting over one column, etc, then print the table with two (nested) loops to output one row at a time across the columns until all of the table data has been dealt with. (You could view the resultset as a 'buffer' and really get complicated to 'save' RAM, but my advice would be to get the above working first, and then try any optimisation ideas) 2 resultset View the resultset as a single column of bookmarks (or read it into a single one-dimensional array), depending upon your chosen db and PHP's retrieval mechanism you could set up four 'pointers' into the resultset - one for each column, then read one result-row from each of the four pointers (incrementing as you go) to immediately output within each of the four output columns. Programmatically, it would be a lot easier to implement the flow the categories horizontally, eg category xxx xxxxxx category xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx xxx category xxx xxxxxx xxx Enough to get you going?

Re: [PHP] Weird database stuff.
Third db question today: do folk know there is a (lightly loaded) '[PHP-DB] list' with
some v.competent members?
Hi Alexander,
- Original Message -
Let me start by laying out some facts:
SELECT e.NAME AS customer, g.NAME AS driver_lastname, g.FIRSTNAME AS
driver_firstname, $CommonSQL, COUNT(g.NAME) AS number FROM ENTITY e, ENTITY
g, EXPERTISE_FILE f, DAMAGE_CASE d WHERE (f.CUSTOMER = '$CustomerID') AND
(e.ID = f.CUSTOMER) AND (g.ID = f.DRIVER) AND (d.OWNER_EXP_FILE = f.ID) AND
(f.DATE_REPORT BETWEEN '$StartDate' AND '$EndDate') GROUP BY e.NAME, g.NAME,
g.FIRSTNAME
The query above is one of the statistics gathering queries in my application.
This one will run flawlessly.
If however I add this condition: AND (f.DRIVER = '$DriverID') before AND
(g.ID = f.DRIVER), the script will eat all CPU and RAM (and eventually swap
aswell) on my PowerEdge 2500SC.
If I run both queries from inside psql (I use PostgreSQL), they -both- (!)
complete within split seconds...
If I leave set_time_limit() on the default of 30 secs, my script will time
out somewhere around these lines (though it seems like coincidence...):
function CalcDenied
(
$Requested,
$Agreed
)
{
$Denied = $Requested - $Agreed;-- Timeout here
if ($Denied 0) -- Sometimes here
{
$Denied = 0;
}
return $Denied;
}
To me, this does not seem to make any sense, especially since the first query
(without the additional condition) runs fine, whilst it has to return many
more rows.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?
=I've got this sinking feeling that suggests I'm missing something obvious, but ...
=Have you tried ECHOing those long SELECT statements in PHP to see how they resolve,
before throwing them at
PostGres? Have you tried putting an ECHO into CalcDenied() to ensure that you are
getting what you, er,
$Requested and that it agrees/$Agreed with what you expected? (sorry, had to ask) -
the $CommonSQL bothers me
for some reason...
=I don't use PostGres, but the clause that you introduce does not require another
index/table/resource, so on
the face of it I can see no problem with the SQL - except consider using:
GROUP BY customer, driver_lastname, driver_firstname
=Apart from the time-out point, why do you link the SELECT and the function - what
data passes between them (is
it ECHOed...)?
=Are you sure that the function is not being repeatedly called until the script times
out (default time is
30secs) because of some never-ending loop condition - how many times is it being
called per data-row? How many
data rows are we talking about here?
=Sorry if they're just 'shots in the dark'!
=Let me know,

If you send the same message over and over wouldn't it be a LOT wiser to BCC
the rest of the people? This way you are MIME-encoding the attachment over
and over which consumes a lot of resources. MIME-encoding a 10MB file will
suck up a P-III 600 for 20 to 30 secs or so depending on other background
processes and diskspeed. MIME encoding the same attachment a 1000 times
doesn't appear really fast to me. Also, with all the headers you use, you
could just as well open a socket to the SMTP service, then you could have
additional error checking I guess...
Just some thoughts..

Re: [PHP] Re: mail() w/ mailing lists
Is is advisable that I mail lots of users from a database via one call to mail() ? why not make a loop and send to one email at a time. if you have over 1000 I would use something else than mail(), ex direct to smtp with sockets. Henrik, It is my opinion (too?) that mail() is difficult to use in a non-trivial application. I have not used/investigated sockets. I have had good success with a 'wrapper class/function set' for mail(). I'm wondering if I should also look at what you have proposed. What does the extra effort of using sockets give you that using a decent wrapper for mail() wouldn't? For example do you get a 'msg sent' confirmation advice? Does the socket-based connection require more than standard access (Id/pswd) to the SMTP server? -is it both Linux and Windows compatible? -is it both in-house server and ISP compatible?

Re: [PHP] Date help (no not that kind)

1005452940 = startcheck
1005451980 = dob
win32 php4
Let's start with perceptions because there's a couple here that have the potential
to hold you on the
side-benches whilst everyone else has a date and has made it to the dance floor...
The manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php) says, strtotime --
Parse about any english
[sic] textual datetime description into a UNIX timestamp. The key word is any and
the fact that it is not
all.
//$today is CLEARLY between the two dates I'm testing with but no is
always returned.
Er, no - it is not clear! A quick geography/horology lesson: the rest of the world
either do not use the same
date system or do not express the Gregorian calendar the way Americans do. Today no
one has a problem with a
date written as 11/11/2001, but when 10/11/2001 is written down, does it mean
yesterday (10-Nov-2001) or one
month back (11-Oct-2001)? In America, the two formats are known as American
(MM/DD/CCYY) and European
(DD/MM/CCYY) format.
Moving to the format used in the code above (2001). A format of this nature is
widely used because it
facilitates sorting/comparisons - ah but watch those perceptions, if you were
comparing/sorting/performing
arithmetic on two dates, one in Oct and one in Nov, then the convention will have to
be CCYYMMDD = century,
year, month, then day! BTW you will see the logical flow of this ever decreasing
period/increasing precision,
and how it can be kept going into CCYYMMDDHHMMSS and thereafter depending upon your
needs, time base/available
utility functions, etc!
The function is called 'string to time'. In other words, a series of alphanumeric
characters are passed, and a
date-time is returned (in the form of a UNIX timestamp). Given that there are many
perceptions involved in
interpreting what the incoming string of digits means, some dates cannot be
unambiguously expressed/resolved (eg
yesterday's date).
It's always a good idea to add some 'debug echoes' to new code, just to be sure that
your perceptions agree with
the computer's implacable logic - I added to your code:
echo Todaydate=$todaydate~;
echo brToday=$today~ Startcheck=$startcheck~ DoB=$dob~;
echo br.
Today=.date(Y-M-d,$today).
~ Startcheck=.date(Y-M-d,$startcheck).
~ DoB=.date(Y-M-d,$dob).~;
and this was returned:
Todaydate=2001-11-11~
Today=1005436800~ Startcheck=1005510600~ DoB=1005509700~
Today=2001-Nov-11~ Startcheck=2001-Nov-11~ DoB=2001-Nov-11~no
The last no is the original output, but before that you can see 'why' - if the date
values/definitions are
modified, the code works exactly as (I perceive, is) required.

Re: [PHP] regular expression
Wow, there are some long and curly ways to use RegExp-s aren't there? I'm not very
good at them (and I hear that
they can be expensively inefficient) so I tend to look elsewhere.
Check out pathinfo -- Returns information about a file path
array pathinfo (string path)
pathinfo() returns an associative array containing information about path. The
following array elements are
returned: dirname, basename and extension.
- the basename result appears to give what you have requested: with all entered
directory names but NOT
assigned their names to file name
However you then go on to talk about qwert.txt.ru = qwert.txt.ru.
I'm not sure what pathinfo() does in this situation with regard to its extension
result. Perhaps you will test
and advise!? Nor can I be sure that the previous contribution will address that part
of the problem. Does having
a filename containing multiple dots (placed in the appropriate directory) contravene
the specification?

In this situation, one of the mysql_fetch_... functions might be a better choice because both data fields could be extracted in one operation. Apart from 'efficiency', the other reason for my saying this (I have never used _result()) is that I can't see where the manual talks about what _result() returns when it gets to an end-of-data situation (the _fetch_ functions return FALSE and are thus perfect for use in controlling while loops). Now to logic. May I offer a short programming lesson? If you are an experienced programmer and this is 'talking down' to you, I apologise. However this question has been asked (in a few guises) a couple of times recently, so lets get an answer up on the FAQs/archives... This program requires two processing loops: one to cycle through the available topic data, the other to display results in a two-column HTML table. Most of us think in terms of starting at the beginning (get the data) and working through to the end (display the results) - from the script provided it seems a reasonable assumption that you have done exactly this, and that everything is working properly (up to that last step before the end). However computers are logical but not rational. Sometimes it is worth starting at the end and working back towards the beginning! The 'second loop is described as being responsible for presenting the results (in this example, a table with two columns). There are three logical parts to the entire process: setting up the HTML code for the table, looping through the rows (and columns), closing off with the end of table HTML code. In pseudo code it looks like: prepare the web page (as necessary) and echo the TABLE tag for each row of the table echo the TR tag echo the first column (TDdata/TD) echo the first column (TDdata/TD) echo the /TR tag echo the /TABLE tag and close the web page Quick aside: with two columns the above is acceptable. If there were numerous columns, but also because the other processing required here brings added complexity, an inner loop might be appropriate, thus: prepare for each row TR for each column echo the TDdata/TD /TR finish-off Now let's talk about the topic-data loop process. Again, divide the logic into three parts: setting up MySQL and SELECTing the primary data, looping through each of the SELECTed records, and cleaning up afterwards. The existing script is neatly laid out to show this. In pseudo code, the script's logic becomes: set-up db and query table for each row returned perform secondary query/assemble and format full report data present topicId, topicName, and counter close down That being the case, can all of the processing of individual (in-bound) data records be packaged into a user-defined function? (modular programming) If the function returns true/false as well as the next data record, then the boolean state can be used to detect the end-of-data condition: set up while ( not end-of-data ) getnextrow() close down OK, so much for all that, how do the two halves get put back together? There are two loops, one cycling through HTML table tags, and the other cycling through a DB recordset/resultset. Because the output format is the important part/has the higher number of logical components/subdivisions, it must dominate the logic. Thus the data-provisioning part should be inverted - instead of squirting out data like a hose, which the HTML then has to be 'fitted around'; it should be set up like an on-demand drip feed, so that when the HTML requires a 'squirt' of data, it is delivered, one swallow at a time! Let's do this in two stages - first of all, with no data processing (ie just reporting/important part first). Combine the two set up code-blocks, and the two close-down code blocks and outline the HTML processing: prepare the page (as necessary) and echo the TABLE tag set-up db and query table --- for each row of the table echo the TR tag for each column echo the column data (TDdata/TD) echo the /TR tag --- echo the /TABLE tag close down (the DB) But how do we know how many rows to put in the table? Answer: we don't, and so have to set up the loop controls accordingly. if you prefer to continue using for-loops you can control these by use of the numOfRows = mysql_num_rows ($result) code; or if you make the outer into a while-loop then the idea of the boolean (mentioned above) brings a process-while-there's-still-data logic into play: Function getnextrow(...) perform secondary query/assemble and format full

[PHP] PHP templates vs XML
In an on-again-off-again desultory style, I keep trying to find the time to study template systems - and quite separately see if I can find a practical use for XML. The idea of a template system is that the HTML code/presentation of the final view to the user/browser, can be devised/maintained quite separately from the PHP code required to pull data out of the back-end db/processing/whatever. Correct? The systems I've looked at do this by allowing you to put 'tags' into the HTML which are subsequently expanded/replaced with 'real data' by the template processor immediately before presentation to the browser. Now, again broadly speaking, XML allows us to define our own tags, which are subsequently ... Correct? So: when would you use a template system and when would you use XML? (and thus: on which one should I concentrate my research? ) Any all pointers/references to online information sources will be much appreciated. =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] Displaying please wait
Is there someone 'up' on the way Apache works who can offer some comment please? Th how do I display 'please wait' question was asked by someone (else) last week. The standard answer is no - server-side PHP assembles an HTML page, and when it is completed the whole page is transmitted from the web server to the browser. However is this strictly true? I managed to do something warned about in lesson two of ComSc 101, and put my PHP into a never-ending loop (hey, after all these years, it's just to keep me humble...). What was happening was that a database record would be read in, a whole pile of debug 'echo's sent to the screen to demonstrate the processing, then the next record, and so on... the governor/loop limit code failed and was stuck on 'true' so while true loop forever... What I saw on the screen - particularly the behavior of the scroll bars, was that a certain amount of data (let's call it a 'buffer') was produced within Apache, and then it would be sent to the screen, then there would be a short pause, then another 'buffer' load would be displayed in the browser, then a pause... This behavior similar to response from a long-distance www link or taking stuff down a slow dial-up line from an overloaded server; BUT everything on my machine is local ! Does this mean that Apache retains a certain amount of the page internally, but once the volume grows, Apache relieves storage pressure by transmitting even though the whole HTML page has not yet been resolved? If so, any idea what the 'buffer' size might be? Or is there any way to adjust that 'buffer' size HTML page by page? Enquiring minds and all that... =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] how to recognize local or server execution?
John,
Netscape! Differences between servers AND differences between browsers AND differences
between in-browser and
command-line operations!
Isn't life fun?
Like you I'm messing around with some of these differences as part of a bid to
'convert' an existing set of
scripts from browser i/f to command-line. At present I'm putting up with all the HTML
output - that's a ToDo
'soon' I guess; but have fixed the time-clock base so that everything is converted
back and forth between
UTC/GMT and local times.
Like you I have rolled-my-own function which uses the following two variables:
SetSuffix($argv[0],
$GLOBALS[SERVER_NAME]);
$ServerName is used to work out which (Apache) Vserver is running the script, whereas
$directory is used to work
out where code is being run from (at the command line). The main decision being driven
from here is whether to
run off the 'production' or 'test' database - I've just tweaked that from code I wrote
some weeks ago around
another global. I guess I'll now have to emulate your plan and now work out how to
control all the output, if
not logging, then displaying at the command line/green screen as opposed to the
browser.
Regards,
=dn
Thanks for the idea. I have just resurrected and had another play with my
'testbench.php', running it from both
IE/Apache and in a DOS box.
It includes the following code:
[...]
Thanks (also thanks to the others for the useful comments ideas).
I don't have $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[SERVER_NAME]
or $GLOBALS[SERVER_ADDR] or $SERVER_SOFTWARE
probably because my server is netscape (nsapi?). They
are all blank. Yes I declared them 'global'.
I ended up with these functions which seem to do the trick, at
least for my server and NT.
function isonserver()
{
global $PHP_SELF,$argc;
return $argc==0 isset($PHP_SELF) $PHP_SELF;
}
function getpagename()
{
global $PHP_SELF,$argv;
return basename(isonserver() ? $PHP_SELF : $argv[0]);
}
function getlinedelimiter()
{
return isonserver() ? \n : \r\n;
}
The pagename is critical to my site, because the code needs
the page name to recognize certain suffixes and 'special page
names.
Perhaps it is only sufficient to test for $PHP_SELF and not $argc,
but I threw in $argc==0 anyway.

Re: [PHP] HELP: Syntax Needed
Jokes aside, I still don't get it.
=the word it is part of the difficulty everyone faces in thinking about whether they
could help or not - what
it is, is not apparent
1 there is a problem with a mysql_pconnect() call, and
2 there is a problem with a mysql_query() call.
Which one is it?
=the confusing presentation of the question, even more confused by the lack of
substance/focus in the rejoinder,
is not helping.
=the very first suggestion that those who have answered more-or-less this exact
'pconnect' question many times a
week for ..., is a not-so-subtle hint to RTFM (and/or to review the list archives).
When you read up about how
to write variables and constants, and how to use the mysql_... functions, then more
will become obvious, and
less sarcasm will come your way.
=worse, you have quoted incomplete/inaccurate code fragments, so immediately the
question arises: what else has
been left out? (the answer being closely related to it).
=The manual clearly says that missing out certain calls may not matter because MySQL
will make assumptions and
attempt to carry on, but the instant problems arise, surely it would be better to
follow all the examples in the
manual - which step through all of the calls, in sequence?
=next point: if you have a problem with a series of instructions, go back to first
principles, break things down
and throw in echo/printr statements to 'prove' any and all assumptions - particularly
the first time you try out
some code.
=last point: EVERY call to a client-server function should be checked (there's RTFM
again), this will show if
the fault lies at 'pconnect', at 'open', and/or at the 'query' stage.

well formed questions sent
to the list this week will be answered for the same price as one!

Why doesn;'t this?

It doesn't work?! Neither does:

Re: [PHP] switch-statement overrides use of global arrays?
Imar,
The global array is being defined in the mainline, but not populated. What happens if
you set element 0 to some
value (to take up some storage space first) and then try the switched function calls?
When you say Alas, this also emptied the array each time I went from one function to
another via the switch
statement. do you mean that the array definition line is inside the same loop that
causes the switch statement
to be revisited?
(it shouldn't be - put it right at the beginning of the 'mainline' and ensure that it
is not re-executed (which
would indeed 'reset' the values))

[PHP] Debugging aids (after the style of: Error management)
Don't you like the side-benefits of this list, eg that someone comes up with a question that gets your thought processes running or suggests an idea you'd not otherwise come up with!? So further to the question: How can I know the line and the file from where a function has called. I already know __FILE__ and __LINE__, but I don't want to transmit them in arguments. is there a debugging facility in PHP which displays a 'map' of which functions have called which? So for example, a script crashes at line_56 in file_fred.php, which is what we've all come to know and love; but I'd like to know that it got there by the mainline calling FnOpen(), which called FnInitialise(), which in turn called FnUncleTomCobbleighAndAll(), where some incompetent happily three layers down tried to share out the spoils by dividing by zero (or whatever)... Looking in the manual I started with: Chapter 8. Constants Predefined constants A constant is a identifier (name) for a simple value. As the name suggests, that value cannot change during the execution of the script (the magic constants __FILE__ and __LINE__ are the only exception). A constant is case-sensitive by default. By convention constants are always uppercase. but if these two are the only magic constants then I'm out of luck there. So I meandered through the PHPINFO and environment variables, but nothing stood up and popped me in the eye.

Re: [PHP] how to recognize local or server execution?
Thanks for the idea. I have just resurrected and had another play with my
'testbench.php', running it from both
IE/Apache and in a DOS box.
It includes the following code:
-
echo br.sizeof($argv).~Array of Args passed to script=;
while ( $element = each( $argv ) )
{echo br; echo $element[ key ]; echo = ; echo $element[ value ]; }
echo brhr\n;
echo br.sizeof($argc).~Cmd line params passed to script=$argc;
echo brhr\n;
-
In the browser it responds with:
-
0~Array of Args passed to script=
1~Cmd line params passed to script=0
-
In the DOS box it produces:
-
br1~Array of Args passed to script=br0 = c:\data\webs\brucedev\testbench.php
brhr
br1~Cmd line params passed to script=1brhr
-
Which is a vaguely fascinating difference, but sadly, not one that adequately
distinguishes between different
execution environments.
I'm most intrigued that my first expectation proved to be incorrect:
-
print check if running as CGI module: ;
if ($PHP_CGI) {print yes;} else {print no;}
and
$sapi_type = php_sapi_name();
if ($sapi_type == cgi)
print You are using CGI PHP\n;
else
print You are using .$sapi_type.PHP\n;
-
produces the following results in both 'environments':
-
check if running as CGI module: no~
and
You are using CGI PHP ~
-
My script goes on and on, trying to work through as much of the PHPINFO() output as I
can find the means/the
manual descriptions to generate. There are substantial differences in output, eg no
Apache information is
presented to the DOS box. So the number of, ie sizeof($HTTP_ENV_VARS) also differs
markedly.
The $GLOBALS[SERVER_ADDR] suggestion intrigued me, because it returns an IP address
when a server is involved
(haven't looked this up, I assume it's the IP of the Apache server?) but when running
in the DOS box there is no
server so it returns '' (empty string) or quite possibly ( !is_set() ).
Not being at all experienced in dealing with environment variables, I was hoping for
further
clarification/inspiration.
=dn
may be
$argv
Array of arguments passed to the script. When the script is run on the
command line, this gives C-style access to the command line parameters. When
called via the GET method, this will contain the query string.
$argc
Contains the number of command line parameters passed to the script (if run
on the command line).
In case you have any parameter
hope this helps... and this should work on windows too.

Re: [PHP] Re: Loading message
I suspect that PHP does all of it's work and, only when complete, will it
send the generated html to the client.
No matter what you try and do there's no way you can output the progress of
your script to the browser while it is still being parsed.
I could be wrong, but this is my understanding of it.
Is your script really taking that long to be parsed that you need a loading
progress bar or is the html (including graphics etc) just very big?
=ok, so why not display a stripped down first page which displays LOADING etc, and
which then immediately calls
another page, ie the one that does the heavy processing?
=the timed redirect is managed through a HTML meta-tag. I've used it with native-HTML
pages, but not tried to specify a
.PHP page (yet)
=give it a go!
=dn
Anyway,
Hope this helps

I will try experimenting with that.
But my situation is:
A page with multiple php file includes. The page loads on to the includes,
loads them and continues to load the includes below.
I want to display some sort of text while the include still isn´t loaded.
Likewise i would like to display some sort of loading message while a
database search is active.

Subject: [PHP] Re: Loading message
the page won't ever showup unless the webserver finishes
processing the PHP
file, therefore the Loading ... will appear while the page is
waiting for
its component to finish loading (images, javascripts, flash files, )
therefore what you're asking for has a javascript solution:
1)make a div with width and height about 1000 and absolute position w/
z-index=1000
2)add a body.onload event so that when the pages loads you hide
that layer.
3)that layer can hold any text or tags as you want like: Please
wait
this division's code:
div id='loadinglayer'
style='left:0;top:0;width:1000;height:1000;position:absolute;z-ind
ex:1000;ba
ckground:black'Please wait/div
body onload='hidelayer()'
/body
script
function hidelayer()
{

document.all['loadinglayer'].style.visibility=hidden;
else
document.layers['loadinglayer'].visibility=hide;
}
/script

Subject: [PHP] Truncating Lines
Hi,
I have the following code, which reads in an html file
$fd = fopen(somefile.html, r);
while (!feof($fd)) {
$buffer = fgets($fd, 4096);
$body .= $buffer;
}
fclose($fd);
I am then mailing this:
if (mail($username. .$email., $mailsubject, $body, From:
.$Fromname. .$Fromaddress.\nContent-Type: text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1
))
All works fine, except when a particular line in the html file is unusually
long. Where this is the case, the mail gets sent but the long line truncates
(the last character on the line being ! (exclamation mark)) followed by the
remainder of the line on a new line. This obviously causes problems when
trying to display the HTML.
Strangely though, if the recipient of the mail is a local user (i.e. a user
residing on this box), the line does not truncate and the HTML source
remains intact. Equally, if I write out the contents of $body to the screen,
the HTML source is intact.
I suspect Sendmail may be the culprit, but I'm not sure.
I realise I could keep my HTML source lines to a certain length, however
these are often created dynamically so it's not that straight forward.

Re: [PHP] Package mechanism
I have a need for a package mechanism like that provided by TCL. We
write a
lot of code in reusable libraries and often encounter the situation in
which
an application uses a particular library but requires at least version X
or
greater.
The require(), require_once(), etc. functionality doesn't provide any
version
checking facility and I'm not aware of any other such mechanism built
into
PHP.
I played around with the following which kind of emulates the TCL
behaviour:
In each library I set a variable that contains that file's version
number
(automatically populated by CVS keyword expansion). I then replaced my
require() statements by a customised version which takes version number
arguments.
So, in my application script I have, for example:
require_once(package.inc);
package_require(libraryfile.inc, 1.5, 0);
...
And in package.inc I have:
function package_require($file, $minVersion, $maxVersion) {
require_once($file);
// Code to check if $file is within the specified bounds
}
The obvious (potential) problems with this approach are with respect to
scope. Most of the libraries I use contain function and class
definitions and
I'm not at all sure about the consequences of declaring these from
within
another function (package_require()). To my surprise, though, it seemed
to
work. No errors were generated and I could happily use the classes and
functions as usual. I'm a little nervous, though, about problems that
are not
immediately visible.
Secondly, there is the problem of global variables. Any variables set in
the
global scope in the library files are now in the local scope of the
package_require() function. I cannot put 'global' declarations for each
of
these as I would have to know about each and every one of them in
advance
which prevents it from being a general solution.
Does anyone else have some good ideas about this issue?
Are there any plans to implement this in PHP itself where it properly
belongs?
Douw,
As to the first question: if package_require($file, $minVersion, $maxVersion) was set
up to only return the assembled
filename (not perform the require call), and the require_once($file) nested that
function call and was placed in the
'mainline', would that allay some of your concerns?
require_once( package_require( $file [, args ] ) );
- but what if there isn't a suitable candidate? Would there be some advantage to
setting package_require() to return a
boolean (suitable include file found - success/failure) and then:
package_require( $file [, args ] ) ? require_once( $file ) : die( 'or whatever' );
which 'blends' quite happily into a list of require_once() calls - but could be an
if-then-else construct if you prefer
that presentation.
As to the last question, I can't say, but I was recently asking for a tidy method to
keep development/test and
production code/includes/databases separate and ended up writing my own name-handler,
much as yours...

Re: [PHP] Package mechanism
Douw, It's kind of eerie the way your reply appears in my email before I can see my intervening post!!!??? Perhaps you're just more important than me (bow, scrape, simper...) Thanks for the feedback and additional ideas. =HTH I had also though that it might be necessary to separate out the require_once() and the version check. I would rather do the require_once() first (unconditionally) and then the version check rather than the other way around for performance reasons; ie. require_once($file); if (!package_require($file, 1.5, 0)) die( 'or whatever' ); =you want the 'good news' before the 'bad'? If we did package_require( $file [, args ] ) ? require_once( $file ) : die( 'or whatever' ); we would presumably have to open $file twice (once for the check and once for the loading), although a decent file system cache would presumably ameliorate this). =have no detail of what happens within package_require(). What is the 'checking' logic? =I assumed (!?) that you might be using a directory level 'scan' of 'include-dir' for possible code-candidates. Is it necessary to actually open the file (prior to the 'require' itself) or is the file name sufficiently indicative? eg I'm working on Req_MySQLv3.php (my own higher-level access/error checking routines) at the moment. I'd prefer not to go the route of having many versions of each library lying around and having to assemble an appropriate filename, especially on deployment servers. I'd rather that there is a single version and the application simply indicates failure if it is not recent enough. =seems reasonable - as long as the first thing that happens after the delivery of new code to the production environment is that someone checks that all the requisite linkages do in fact, work. If on the other hand, this is not a script that is repeatedly called, but is perhaps the first in a 'conversation', eg a login screen, then the overhead is insignificant, and if its possible to assume all checks at this stage will 'assure' the version relationships for the rest of the scripts in the conversation you only need to do it once for the whole conversation. =I'm intrigued though (as mentioned, I tried working through such a procedure a while back) - back to the question about 'logic', if that's not 'prying'... =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] parsing a string
John,
Two inter-dependent problems:
1 a means of identifying a cipher within the text
2 a means of replacing the cipher with HTML code
1 there are a limited number of graphics formats (.GIF, .JPG, .PNG, etc) and the
number you are prepared to contemplate
may be even shorter. Thus it would not be difficult to use the filetype as a means to
trigger a RegExp - and thus have
no need for a label mechanism at all.
2 I'm finding RegExps a bit hairy too. However there are a number of illustrations
'out there', eg in PHP and Perl web
site articles, and I'm sure there are some you could borrow/amend - I'm coming up to
needing one fairly similar if you
want to 'trade'/division of labor.
Now I just know you're going to say that so far I've dealt with just the first
component of [bird.gif,this is a bird] -
and just like every Canuck, you'd be right (or at least that's how the rest of us
humor you(s))! First let's restate
that cipher as
space+bird.gifthis is a bird
where space+ is at least one character of them immediately prior to the file name.
Now you can see that the very same
RegExp that recognises/pulls out the graphic filename, should also be able to pull out
the alt-text, because that is
enclosed within quotes (ie just as the HTML will require it). Because the quotes
(could even offer the user/author a
choice of single or double!) are paired, and the first is immediately after the
filename, you won't have problems with
other quoted strings getting caught up/misinterpreted!
It takes a warped mind...
Warped enough for you?

Subject: [PHP] parsing a string
I'm reading some HTML text from a file and echoing it to
stdout. The HTML text contains IMG but I would rather
have the server do the work of looking up the image size.
I know how to lookup the image size with getimagesize().
My problem is in coming up with a good format for embedding
a reference to the image in the text and then writing the code
to parse it.
So instead of this:
here is some text img src=bird.gif width=100 height=20
alt=this is a bird and here is more text and another
image img src=plane.gif width=123 height=23
alt=this is a plane and more text
I would like to have something like this:
here is some text [bird.gif,this is a bird] and here
is more text and another image [plane.gif, this is a plane]
and more text
Crossing line boundaries is not an issue - each text string
is complete. I need to be able to dump out the string until I
see a reference to an image, then extract the name and alt text,
handle it (by emitting IMG) and continue to echo text from
the string until I encounter another image reference.
My problem is in coming up with a syntax for this and then
to write the code to extract the information.
In the above example, I'm using the syntax:
[filename,text]
but it's conceivable that the HTML text might also contain
[some plain text not related to images]
so I thought about some of these:
{filename,alt text} - not good, text might contain {plain text]
@filename, alt text@
img(filename,alt text)
Using the same @ delimiter at each end might make it easier
to use explode() to split the text. But perhaps img(filename,text)
is more elegant, but it might need more skills than I have in using
regex to recognize it and extract it. Also I need to figure out how
to extract and echo the plain text around it.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

[PHP] PHP Filesystem functions/reference table
Isn't it fun when people asking questions on the list spark off your own thoughts/inspiration!? Has anyone seen a tabulation of the functions in (manual: IV Function Reference XXVI. Filesystem functions) that shows which functions [don't] work under what conditions? eg Col1: function name, Col2: if it works under *nix/Windows/etc, Col3: if it works for remote files/URLs Please advise, =dn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
