So, you still have a "blank" page? Check the resulting html source code 
and see how it looks like. Also, do you have "display_errors = On" in 
your php.ini?

Btw, see if changing this:

to this:

  echo $myrow["title"];

makes any difference.

Just my 2 cents...

Re: [PHP] variable string names

John's solution is the better one. But if you really wish to stick to 
your own,  try and use eval() to complile $where$i.

Yes, you can use variable variables, like others have suggested, but why
not just use an array? Almost every implementation of variable-variables
seems to be a work around that's used instead of arrays. 

Where are all of your $where variables coming from? If they are from a
form, just name them as "where[]", then simply loop through them using
foreach($_POST['where']) and check them all. This makes your code more
dynamic as you can add/subtract "where[]" elements and your "processing"
code doesn't change. With a variable-variable solution, you have to
change the number of loops you run each time to change the number of
"where" elements you have.

[PHP] Re: save to file

Enough answers, I think? If you want EACH value of $_POST on a new line, 
then why not implode with \n instead of \t?

Now you get only one big line, because you only WRITE one \n.

I haven't had any "disk full error" experience so I'm not sure

[PHP] Re: help needed building query string based on which form fieldsthat are filled.

2003-02-02 Thread Edwin Boersma
Don't get your question right, but you get all your vars in the 
querystring after submitting the form. There, you should check on 
whether or not the var is filled (i.e. $var <> "" or so). There's no 
other way :-( so your guess is pretty ok.

BTW: use Javascript to modify the submitted values.

 There is a bug in PHP 4.3.0 regarding the use of arrays
 in strings.  The following gave a parse error before
 PHP 4.3.0:

   print "Do not do this: $arr['key']";

 Now it gives an E_NOTICE error due to changes to the string
 scanner.  In PHP 4.3.1 it will no longer give a bogus E_NOTICE
 and instead it will work (no parse error either).  Surrounding
 the array with {braces} in the string works regardless, so:

   print "You can do this: {$arr['key']}";

 Regarding this question, don't write it like that but instead
 do the following (no quotes needed):

   echo $new['company'];

 For those wondering about this bug, see:

   http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=21820

 The string documentation has been updated to demonstrate
 the array in string phenomena (except the bug hasn't been
 mentioned as I'm waiting for it to be committed first).

   http://www.php.net/types.string

 Sunfire, you aren't seeing this E_NOTICE error because your
 error level is turned down (by default).  Put this on top
 of your script to see them all:

   error_reporting(E_ALL);

 Philip

I'm not sure how your customer_email.php looks like but consider this:

Running the first script should echo:

Well, first, increase the size of your field, say VARCHAR(100) then in your form, use 
"maxlength" like this:

  

That would prevent them from entering more that 50 characters. (At least, that's how 
it should work.) But, just to make sure, count the characters entered using strlen()

Mmm, I don't think anything like that exists--at least, not yet. There are or no sites

that would translate your entire encyclopaedia automatically as well... :)

Well, for gettext's translations, I believe the translators are real humans (and 
they're native speakers) so you can expect a high quality translation that serves its 
purpose...

Mmm, I'm not sure if I understand this correctly but I don't think PHP will "just 
decide" that your string IS a number and *formats* it.

Consider this:

';
  echo $var2; // echoes 

?>

As you can see, PHP didn't "touch" the string version...

Anyway, I don't think the conversion to an exponential notation is peculiar to PHP--my 
math teacher required me to do the same :)

The double quotes aren't really necessary unless
1. You have a comma in the field
2. You have double quotes in the field

So,

  1,foo,"Harry said ""what is it""",foo

Interesting comments! ...not sure if I understood everything though :(

Anyway, for Justin's original problem, I think it'll be solve by "simply"
doing two things:
1. Add " GMT" to the end of the string being passed to strtotime().
2. Use gmdate() instead of date().

Ex.

 1039558389
  // without it, echo $my_stamp  --> 1039525989

  $my_stamp = strtotime($my_date);
  echo "$my_stamp";
  echo gmdate('D, d M Y G:i:s', $my_stamp);

  // Conclusion: Using strtotime() with GMT will create
  //   a timestamp that if used with gmdate() will produce
  //   desired result whichever timezone you run the script.

?>

That should work. If not, tell me about it later--I'm more than happy to be
corrected. But for now, I'll be taking some rest :)

If I understand the problem correctly and if my understanding of the
functions are correct, I'm not sure if you'd really need something like
this. Consider this:

";
  echo "GMT Timestamp: $timestamp_gmt";

  echo "This script was run on: ";
  echo "$run_local  (DATE with Local Timestamp)";
  echo "$run_gmt  (GMDATE with GMT Timestamp)";

?>

As you can see, although the timestamps are different, they produce the same
results. So, *I think*, using gmdate() and gmmktime() would be enough. (Or,
if you insist on using strtotime(), consider the example(s) in the "User
Contributed Notes" I mentioned earlier.)

I hope this give you some hints.

I'm not sure if I understand this correctly but don't you think you don't
need strlen($contents) up there? Also, try fopen($file,"wb").

And here,

...doing "$contents = substr($contents,$size+1);" would actually cause you
to lose some data.

Try this instead:

  if ($fp = fopen($file,"wb")): // add "b"
$size = 4096;
 while (strlen($contents)){
   $temp = substr($contents,0,$size);
   fwrite($fp,$temp); // remove $size
   $contents = substr($contents,$size);  // remove "+1"
 }
 fclose($fp);
  endif;

I didn't test so I'm not sure if it'll work--just some ideas...

You can actually treat $str "like" an array so

  $str[0]

would be "i".

If you're after something else, check the archives for more info:

In that case you'll find that info by clicking Tools -> Account -> Mail ->

I think you're in the right track.

Running these would produce different results:

-- script 1 --
$s = '0';
switch ($s){
  case ($s > chr(47) && $s < chr(58)):
echo 'Yehey!';
break;
  default:
echo 'Boo!';
}

$s = 0;
switch ($s){
  case ($s > chr(47) && $s < chr(58)):
echo 'Yehey!';
break;
  default:
echo 'Boo!';
}

BTW, there's no problem if you use "if...else" clause...

Putting a space (or some other character) after the character in question is
actually a good "workaround"--though not really a solution :(

Anyway, this kind of problem also exist with Chinese characters used in
Japanese (sjis encoding).

There could be various ways to handle this but here are some:
1. Try using a different encoding. Like utf-8 or some other Chinese
encoding. (In Japanese, you can use euc instead of sjis.)
2. Creating your own addslashes function for "escaping".

These are basically from the Japanese ML: (It's, of course, in Japanese.)

By the way Samuel,  there's a patched version of php that I've mention here:

The patched version corrected some problems having to do with multi-byte

other info in the site I mentioned above but I'm afraid they're all in
Japanese so...

Anyway, I justed to post some ideas that might help.

Right, I might be typing faster than I am thinking... :)

Still, just make sure that PHP is using the php.ini file that you think it's
using. The file that _you_ check didn't change but _php_ might be looking
somewhere else... Of course, I could be wrong--haven't used
FreeBSD/Ports--only linux.

  echo '';

shows a good view that you have a table with two columns.

If you'd like to sort these, then I think you might be able to do something
like this:
1. Instead of printf()'ing your 's or 's inside the class/function,
why don't you try "putting" it inside an array? (Maybe with array_push() or
something.) Then,
2. If you already have an array, perhaps you can use one of the functions
here for sorting:

I think one way you can try is to use JavaScript's onClick() with

If you have using a new php.ini file, perhaps you can compare it with an old

Well, most probably you'll be able to find it inside your mysql/bin

True. But I think you missed one thing--I wasn't even talking about your

I said, "programs" that was "run on the users' pc". You don't even need a

I think you're referring to JavaScript and NOT Java.

But, whether it's Java or Javascript, you cannot really pause/stop the
browser then do something to "complete loading the page." (Unless you press
"stop"--but this would require you to reload.)

Anyway, Javascript (if you're referring to it) doesn't have that kind of
function (AFAIK). Javascript can hide/unhide element on your form. It can
also enable/disable a checkbox, for example. But those functions would only
work AFTER the page is already loaded--and _not_ while it is loading. (Also,
*after* the Javascript file--if you're using and external one--is already
downloaded inside the your visitors' disk, etc.)

- E

PS
BTW, Javascript (support) can be turned off by your visitors--maybe you
already know that...

And... not all browsers supports Java. (But then again, you don't even need
a browser to run Java! What am I saying here?...)

Not really...

Of course, you can use javascript. (I think somebody just posted--er, kindly
posted--a sample code...)

You can also use CSS to make the header, etc. be "fixed" on different
location of your browser window. However, this approach works only on
browsers that support that css. (e.g. Mozilla-based browsers like N7, etc.
or Opera 6...)

How about another approach using "iframes"? (Personally, I don't like frames
or iframes...) It might work for you.

But then again, the best way IMHO, is to divide your table into different
sections or pages. Do you really need to keep them in one page?

Just some ideas...

2. Is it even necessary to "pause"?

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly but you can try using
the sample code in the manual for uploading files. Then, instead of moving
it to your desired folder, you can just move it first to a temporary folder.
This way, if one decided to cancel/abort, you can just unlink() or do some
cleaning up of the folder later on. (May not be the best way but I think
it'll work...)

Just use your imagination, you might just find a better way :)
