[PHP] IE won't post on Windows, but will on Mac
Hello, All, I've given myself two black eyes and a bloody nose on this one, and I'm sure it's a simple solution. I have a form on the php page "entry.php": At the top of that page, I have the PHP code: With IE 5.2 on Mac, I submit this form and I see "POST" echoed at the top of the page. With IE 5.5 on Windows, I submit this form and I see "GET". How? Why? What the? I've tried playing with different encoding types and content-types, and nothing changes the results. I also tried setting my IE 5.5 security settings to lowest and enabled everything possible. No matter what I do, I can't POST the form. Can anyone tell me just what in tarnation is going on here? Many many thanks... Jed -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Martin, Thanks for responding. I just checked for any post variables and none were set. The problem revealed itself because I originally had: And "do something else" was always being done.

Re: [PHP] Caching Problem
Hi, Roland,
There might be a better way to do this, but you could try to use the
header() function after your upload takes place to redirect the browser to
the same page, using GET. Something like...
http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].");
}
?>
Or something like that. HTH,

Re: [PHP] MySQL and Array's REALLY simple question but I'm notGETTING it .. Ugh..
Hello, Steve,
When you call mysql_fetch_array the first time, you are accessing the data
from the first row of your results and then moving the pointer to the next
row. So, when you call mysql_fetch_array the second time, it is already
starting with the second row of your results. Try something like this
instead:
");
mysql_select_db("actionregs", $sql2);
$top_level = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM williams", $sql2)
or die("Could not do query ");
print "";
print "Action IDOwnerTechnologySummary";
while ($tabledata = mysql_fetch_array($top_level)) {
echo "";
echo "$tabledata[0]";
echo "$tabledata[6]";
echo "$tabledata[2]";
echo "$tabledata[3]";
echo "";
}
print "";
?>
You may need to pull the table data array items into variables before
echoing them. Does this work?
HTH!

Re: [PHP] Upload Progress
There really isn't a great solution for this, that I know of. It's one of the few things that makes an argument for ASP over PHP, as far as I'm concerned (if you have the luxury of choosing). Below is what I did once to try to get around the problem. It worked *okay*. The bummer is that I had to ask people to enter the size of their file in a field. (Rough estimates were okay.) Then, as soon as somebody hit the submit button on my form, I popped up a small, modal, progress bar sized window that was actually two frames. I passed the file size value from the form field to the top frame. In the bottom frame, JavaScript created a bordered equal in pixel length to the number of MB of the file being uploaded. The top frame, a PHP doc, would then refresh every three seconds, executing a filesize() on the uploaded file, converting it to MB, rounding up, and then using DHTML to resize the width of a blue-gradient gif contained in the of the bottom frame of the progress bar window. Typically, this worked okay for me. It wasn't the prettiest progress bar in the world, but it did the trick for most people. HTH!

Re: [PHP] Upload Progress
Sorry, I wrote too quickly. I meant that the file size field value is passed to the bottom frame. And JavaScript is used to resize the gif, not DHTML. (Used to be DHTML when I was adding nbsp instead of resizing an image.) HTH, Jed On the threshold of genius, Jed Verity wrote: > There really isn't a great solution for this, that I know of.

Re: [PHP] Upload Progress
Yikes, I sort of lied. It's been awhile... Clients uploaded files from an intranet server to an external servier via their browser and ftp_put. It wasn't local machine to remote server. Sorry! Best of luck, Jed P.S. I wonder, though, if there isn't some way to execute a script with exec() to get the info through the file system. There was some talk awhile back about using flush(), too. If you haven't already, check the archives for that one...

Re: [PHP] Upload Progress
You're right about it costing more money. But we had one server handling a bunch of uploads, most of them over 25 MB, and 99% being instigated by very impatient, not very technical, people. People who kept canceling and canceling, despite our directions, because they thought it was stuck or frozen or taking too long. It was worth $150 for us to buy the ASP component (I think we used ABCUpload, maybe?). The development time required for a creative PHP solution -- and one that might not have worked as well -- would have been dramatically more expensive than the almost out-of-the-box solution with ASP's components. (And much of the site was already written in ASP.) Other than that, you'll get know argument from me about ASP vs. PHP. I'm head over heels for PHP and, in any context other than the one stated above (and maybe one or two others), I would choose to use God Blessed PHP over anything else. Cheers! Jed P.S.

[PHP] Javascript to PHP?
Hello, Folks, My apologies if this has been asked a thousand times. I've just joined the list. I can't find any information on passing JavaScript variables to PHP on the same page (i.e. not through the POST information of a submitted form). Is this because it's not possible? To take the load off the server, I'm trying to do a bunch of string manipulations and loops in JavaScript and then hand that info off to PHP once it's done. Any insight is appreciated!

[PHP] Newbie Q: Fetching vs. Looping
Hello Again, Folks, I've been testing this for a while and keep coming up with mixed results. In general, is it faster and more efficient to query a MySQL database once with a large SQL select statement and then loop through the huge resulting table? Or does it make better sense to perform a number of smaller queries with smaller resulting tables? This is the kind of stuff they just don't seem to talk about in the manuals.
