RE: [PHP] PHP and CGI

2002-02-12 Thread Job Miller


You can not include php as the output of a perl cgi.

the server processes the cgi request, and spits out
its results.  if the result is php code, it isn't
reprocessed by the server.

javascript can be printed out, because it is the
browser that processes js.  php is not processed by
the browser.

in the cgi, use:

$output=`/usr/local/bin/php script.php';

print $output;

or something like that, where you call php directly
and than show the results of the call to php.

I don't recommend this, just think it might be a
temporary solution until you come up with another
approach.

  Good day,
 
  The php file can have whichever extension that you
 want, provided that the
  webserver understands which application is
 associated with which
  extension.
 
  If you want to run a PHP script as a CGI or
 without the webserver , just
  install the PHP standalone executable.  This is
 done by default with many
  RPM packages, and can easily be done with a
 tarball.
 
  To run the script, just put:
 
  #!/usr/local/bin/php
 
  (or whatever location it's installed into) as the
 first line of your php
  script.  Your CGI program can run this program
 like any other
  shell command
  and get the results.
 
  Also, if the extension is .cgi , your web server
 should
  understand that it's
  a cgi program and exec it appropriately.

 I did some research in the archives on this,
 but couldn't
  come up with
  a
 straight answer.

 I have a CGI script that uses and HTML
 template/form.  I
  would like to
embed
 a PHP script in the template to take some of
 the values of the
CGI and put
 them in a database.  I set up the database,
 wrote the PHP, but now
  find
that
 the CGI script apparently won't recognize my
 PHP.

 Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to
 do?

 The CGI is a preset thing I can't re-write
 in PHP (at least for
now).  And
I
 don't know much CGI myself.

 Thanks!

 -Mike

Re: [PHP] Re: Post CGI variable to PHP

2002-01-10 Thread Job Miller

to post to a PHP script from within perl, you would
either define a form in the perl script that has a
submit button whose action is a php script, or you can
use the LWP module in Perl to generate a POST for you.

this will post the stuff to the php script and fetch
the results.  it isn't a redirect with hidden args.

  use LWP::UserAgent;

  $ua = LWP::UserAgent-new;

  my $req = HTTP::Request-new(POST =
'http://www.perl.com/cgi-bin/BugGlimpse');

 
$req-content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

  $req-content('match=wwwerrors=0');

  my $res = $ua-request($req);

  print $res-as_string;

 I have no idea how to combine PHP and Perl - not

[PHP] mysql transactions/rollback

2001-10-18 Thread Job Miller

without save points and rollback what is the best way
to replace all records for a user that might have been
edited with their new values.

I have read the mySQL manual about this.

Update is out of the question (as the manual
suggests).  I can't track which ones changed, because
they could have been reordered or overwritten.

my approach which I know sucks is this:

insert all the new records with a flag attached to
each one.

if insert goes ok, delete all the ones without the
flag that belong to that user and turn flag off the
newly inserted ones.

this way if something happens in the insert, i still
have the old data in there. as opposed to delete, than
insert, and if insert fails, rollback before delete.

I know there must be a common good solution to this. 
can someone please fill me in?

TIA,

Job

Re: [PHP] Re: mysql transactions/rollback

2001-10-18 Thread Job Miller

yes, thank you though.
not in MyISAM tables, which is what mine are, and
again according the manual, you slow things down
significantly for transaction support.

is it worth it? instead of my previously suggested
method of handling it? or is there something better?

[PHP] associative array syntax question

2001-10-03 Thread Job Miller

why does: print $a[$b['b']] return:

parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or
`T_NUM_STRING'

but if I do it in two steps like:

$c=$b['b'];
print $a[$c];

it works fine.

I have tried dozens of syntax combinations using
quotes, no quotes, on one or both and can't get
anything to work.  any help would be greatly
appreciated.  The two step method is annoying.

Re: [PHP] associative array syntax question - got it!

2001-10-03 Thread Job Miller

Maxim,

I figured it out.  Thanks for your help

PHP can't interpolate within string when nested
associative array is used.  the nested aa must be
appended with dot notation, and if you try to print it
within the outer quotes it balks!

print td$a[B]td.$quotes[$a[B]].td
   ^  ^^ 
 A  B

This works, B switched with A won't work though.  
 

Thanks again,

 no luck with that either.
 I do the same thing in Perl all the time.
 can it have anything to do with the fact that the
 inner part is a fetch from a mySQL DB which returns
 an enumerated array,
 so b is actually a constant (drop the quotes)
 referring to an index in
 the result?
 
 i tried $a[$b[b]] and $a[{$b[b]}], etc..
 
 nothing works..
