[PHP] Code works alone but not with other code.
I've got this chunk of code (included) that used to work fine in a
script up until a couple of weeks ago. Nothing has changed in the php
page at all, it just quit working. If I take this chunk of code and
place it alone in a php script it works just fine, but only by itself. I
don't understand what's going on and don't see anything that would make
the script seem like it's just skipping this chunk of code, without
errors, when I run it. I'm using PHP 4.4.4-8 mand MySQL 5.0.32 on Debian
Etch.
The code does use nested MySQL queries, it worked before but I thought
maybe something changed in PHP or MySQL recently in updates that might
have broken it, but there is another chunk of code in the script that
uses nested queries as well that works fine just as it had been.
I also have another script that has recently broke and seems to skip a
section of code as well without errors. There are no real similarities
between the two that I can see.

This would have saved lots of your time, our time, everybody's bandwidth and would avoid your asking everybody again for the next error you make. We all make errors, none of us is above that, that's why, at least in my case, I never fail to add the or die() at the end.

$item[] = $_POST['phone'];
$item[] = $_POST['category'];
$item[] = $_POST['copy'];
$item[] = $_POST['pic_style'];
$item[] = $cost;
$item[] = $image;
session_register('item');
In the session the item is known as 'item'. What I need for it to be is
'item1' so when the customer chooses another product I can increase $count
by 1 and have the next array with values stored as 'item2'.

I've been using GD for the past few months and it's very inconsistent on thumbnail quality even when the quality setting is at maximum.

I've read through the archives and run through some of the suggestions
given for progress bars and pop ups with animated gifs and haven't had
much luck.
I've had the most luck using the pop-up window method. In the
element I call onSubmit="{open some window here}" This works as the pop-up
appears while the file is transferring. Here's where I run into problems.
I've tried all kinds of examples found on google and can never get it to
work right.
In the script where my form goes to, I'm supposed to use a on
the page containing the form. Either my pop-up stays open or I close the
parent window.
Does anybody have a working example I could work off of so I could please
my boss. Personally, I didn't want to do this but he thinks we should have
these flashy things on out site.

[PHP] Building a query string
This list has helped me out alot and I hope it can do it one more time.
I need to build a MySQL query based on 11 different options from a form.
Some options will have values others will be checkboxes to say include in
the query.
How I thought about going at it was using a default query string and add
additional strings to the default string based on results of the form.
$query_str = "SELECT * FROM listings WHERE id > 0 ";
if ($garage != "") {
$garage_str = "AND garage = '$garage' ";
//add $garage_str to $query_str//
}
This would continue through all eleven options then produce a query string
with all included query options needed. Can this be done this way? If so,
how do I add a string to a string?

Ed

[PHP] Multidimensional Arrays
I'm trying to submit multiple values to a variable within an
tag by using a value such as value="this,that" There are multiple
statements on this form each counting up from 1 using $count and
$listings as such.
This and That
That and This
On the recieving side I'm parsing many instances of these using the
following method
$count = 1;
$listings = 3;
while ($count <= $listings) {
$listing['$count'] = $_POST['listing[$count]'];
}
This example works fine if I need to get the full value (this,that) or
(that,this). What I'd like to do is break this into a multidimensional
array so I have approximately the following depending on what they choose
for each example.
$listing[1][0] = this
$listing[1][1] = that
$listing[2][0] = that
$listing[2][0] = this
Hopefully this example is clear enough that someone will understand what
I'm doing. I tried the following with no luck.
$listing['count'] = $_POST['listing[count]'];
$listing['$count'] = explode(",", $listing['$count']);
Any takers? Thanks.

to pull values out of sessions to use in another page.
I set the values as:
session_start();
session_register{'magazine');
session_register('company');
The data is saved as a session because I can read the file located in my
/tmp directory.
Now I click on a link and go to a different page and I do:
session_start()
Magazine:
Company:
Should I be able to retrieve the values in this fashion? I'm using php
4.1.2.
Thanks,
Ed

[PHP] Problems with variables and PHP/HTML
I am currently using Apache 1.3.26 and PHP 4.2.3 on a Linux box running Kernel 2.0.36 My trouble is in passing variable from within a form submission or within a URL. I can get a From submission to work if I declare the variable and resubmit it to another variable name. I.E. form field name = username passed to readform.php in readform.php $username = $_POST['username'] I can then user $username Used to be you could just use $username as a variable if it was passed from a form to another script. Now I have $username defined and useable but if I try to add it to a URL such as: It becomes a null value or doesn't get passed at all. I thought this might have something to do with track-vars but track vars are enabled by default in PHP since before my version. When I compiled everything I compiled PHP as a DSO. Any ideas?
