Re: [PHP] Why this doesn't work ?

2005-10-24 Thread Jordan Miller
why don't you just echo your $query to see if it is coming out  
correctly, before even trying to mess with mysql_query()? I think you  
should be able to see the problem from there.

Hi,




Make this line instead
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error() .  with the  
query $query;

and you'll likely see the error.




Here it goes:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that  
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to  
use near '(login) FROM formacao WHERE login = 'a'' at line 1

Re: [PHP] Declaring vars as INT ?

2005-10-21 Thread Jordan Miller

Hello,

you could treat your variable as a string, and use the is_numeric()  
function (but this will include floats, too). To answer your question  
precisely and accurately, you may have to do regex matching since you  
are out of the bounds of int.


However, why, *exactly*, are you trying to confirm that your string  
is an integer? It seems to me kind of cumbersome and unnecessary. If  
you provide more explicit information on what you are trying to do,  
your overarching goal for the script, including what are your inputs  
and intended outputs, along with some real code, we can probably find  
a solution that will do what you want without mucking about like  
this. Just my two cents.

Is it better  for memory usage to have a potentially smaller

So is this a bug in PHP 5 or are they just purposely limiting

Re: [PHP] Funky array question

2005-10-16 Thread Jordan Miller

Hello,

what have you been trying for comparison so far that has not been  
working?


if you have php 5, you would want to use stripos, which is case- 
INsensitive, not strpos, which is the opposite.
Also, note the warning on the man page. you would want to use a  
triple equals sign !===false because stripos could return a zero or  
an empty string which is actually ==false.


http://www.php.net/stripos/

if you do not have php 5, i would use regex so you can get case  
insensitivity.

Re: [PHP] why does this not work?

2005-09-27 Thread Jordan Miller
javascript is a client-side language, while php is a server-side  
language... the value you are passing to $width only exists on the  
client side, therefore the php server-side boolean fails.


i think you will have to pass the client-side calculated variable of  
screen.width to the php server before you can do this properly,  
probably through a POST form or GET request. nice idea, though  
(dynamically loading css based on screen resolution).

to get rid of potential double spaces after the explode, you could do:
foreach ($words as $word) {
if (!empty($word)) {
$first = $word;
break;
}
}
echo $first;

This will always return the first word.

mixed array_pop ( array array )

array_pop() pops and returns the last value of the array, shortening

NULL will be returned.


Note: This function will reset() the array pointer after use.

Example 1. array_pop() example

?php
$stack = array(orange, banana, apple, raspberry);
$fruit = array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
?
After this, $stack will have only 3 elements:

Array
(
   [0] = orange
   [1] = banana
   [2] = apple
)
and raspberry will be assigned to $fruit.

Hey Ken,

The variable you want is already a superglobal known as $_SERVER

Do something like this to get started:

Good luck.

2005-09-15 Thread Jordan Miller
do you have log files? the page you linked to was generated by  
webalizer. is there a reason you can't use that (or Awstats, or  
something similar)? you probably don't need to reinvent the wheel  
here... though you may need to tweak your webserver to put more  
information in the log files so you can see all the stats you desire.

Hello,

I was wondering if there was way to generate domain statistics by

I just need some basic info like:
Monthly Traffic( Sites, Kbytes, Visits, Pages, Files, Hits )

Example: http://server18.internetserver.com/stats/1800homecare/

If it is possible can I also create a Log In for that page?

I would appreciate any direction.

Re: [PHP] Deny access from certain hosts

2005-09-14 Thread Jordan Miller
if people are allowed to post copyrighted images to your bulletin  
board, shouldn't you have some sort of password protection anyway?


negating that, i would do it with PHP and not Apache. rather than  
simply serving up the file raw:

img src=image.gif

why not setup a php script to do URL referring blocking:
img src=getFile.php?img=image.gif

in the getFile.php file, you could check the referring URL, and then  
present the file, or not. you would need to move the images out of  
the web tree, though, so people couldn't bypass your script.



it sounds like you need to reconsider what you really want, though.

Can you do that with .htaccess?

you need single quotes around $subnum in the sql statement. don't  
know why you seem to be arbitrarily leaving them off (put them around  
$uv and $duration, too!).


also, you should never insert stuff directly from a user into a

Re: [PHP] Sessions , expiry times and different time zones

2005-09-08 Thread Jordan Miller
As I said, **rather** than relying on cookie expiration. This  
*necessarily* means that you will need to set the cookie expiration  
to sometime way in the future, like next year (or more dynamically,  
use the date() and mktime() functions to always set the cookie  
expiration to + 1 yr from today). If you do this, you will have no  
chance of the cookie itself expiring; therefore you can rely solely  
on the $_SESSION variable. The cookie will contain the session id  
that the webserver will be able to use to repopulate the $_SESSION  
variable as long as $_SESSION['expiration'] is still in the future.  
If $_SESSION['expiration'] is in the past (or is empty) and you issue  
a session_destroy() and a setcookie(), the cookie can be destroyed, too.


I have written something similar to this in the past, and it behaves  
exactly as you would like and expect. Another benefit is that this is  
more secure than relying on a cookie-supplied expiration time.

Re: [PHP] Better timestamp explanation to the client

2005-09-08 Thread Jordan Miller
methinks you should convert the datetime to a unix timestamp with  
strtotime(). then you can compare the difference between this  
timestamp and a unix timestamp of now to find if you have logged in  
within a min. of the previous time. Then, once you know what text to  
display (e.g. Less than a minute ago!), you can format the original  
datetime timestamp with the date() function to be however you like.  
You may have to read the manuals for all three of these functions  
several times. good luck!


actually, you may be able to do simple operators (e.g. , , or -)  
with the datetime as is, without having to convert to a unix  
timestamp. NOW in datetime format can be gotten with:

$now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

i'm not sure though. just try it!

Re: [PHP] Assign values in foreach-loop

2005-09-07 Thread Jordan Miller

Hello,

You simply need the $key variable, then you can set a new value for  
$arr[$key] for each array element:

?php
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
foreach ($arr as $key = $value) {
   $arr[$key] = $value * 2;
}
// $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8)
?


http://www.php.net/foreach
If you have PHP 5, you can perhaps more efficiently do this:


As of PHP 5, you can easily modify array's elements by preceding  
$value with . This will assign reference instead of copying the  
value.


?php
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
foreach ($arr as $value) {
   $value = $value * 2;
}
// $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8)

I think $arr1 is only a temp-var, so the assignment won't reflect

Surely I can do it with a for-loop, but those arrays are a bit

Couldn't you store an expiration time directly in the $_SESSION

Re: [PHP] how to divide string

2005-09-05 Thread Jordan Miller
If  you are using php 5, don't forget about str_split, with 4 as the  
second parameter.

http://us2.php.net/str_split

so you could do:
echo implode(br /, str_split($string, 4));

if you still have php 4 or earlier, look at that page anyway as there  
is a workaround function in the comments for earlier  versions of php.

Re: [PHP] Help: Get the value of pi up to 200+ digits?

2005-09-01 Thread Jordan Miller

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.precision

precision sets the number of significant digits, *NOT* the number of  
digits displayed after the decimal point.


If you want to get pi out to 16 decimal places you need a precision  
of *17* because the beginning 3 is a significant digit.


Your code does exactly this, displaying pi with 15 decimal places.

Re: [PHP] running process in the background

2005-08-31 Thread Jordan Miller
Oh wait... you are not specifying your $_POST variable. you need to  
use the key for $_POST. just do a print_r($_POST) to find the key  
from the $_POST array that you are looking for. also, i would not  
pass a $_POST variable directly to your shell without escaping it  
somehow, first...


foreach ($_POST[$key] ...

Jordan



Did you try also sending stderr to /dev/null rather than stdout only?

I think the syntax is to add a 21:
foreach ($_POST as $kid){
`php run.php param1 param2  /dev/null 21 `;
}

This should put each process in the background and suppress all  
errors and output. Does that work?

Re: [PHP] Nested IFs Problem

why not rewrite it to be more concise... i can't see a problem at the  
moment. are you sure you can do a  comparison operator on the  
'12:00' and '2005-10-02' string?? Maybe if you are using 24 hr format  
you could just get rid of the : on both sides of the operator to  
have the  properly evaluated... do the same for the date comparison.


just try each if statement individually. then, when you find the  
problem, rewrite like this:


if ((putFirstExpressionHere)  (putSecondExpressionHere)   
(putThirdExpressionHere)) {

// success
} else {
// failure
}

you may not need anything fancy like a class for regular breadcrumbs

breadcrumbs with a simple function.


for the extreme version, just store an array of recently viewed pages  
in a session variable, and parse this array when displaying each page.

 Most of the breadcrumb classes out there (at least the ones that

breadcrumbs.
 What about on non-structured sites like Wikis? For example, on  
DokuWiki, it
keeps track of your last 4-5 clicks in a breadcrumb trail on the

the page. Amazon.com http://Amazon.com's recently viewed pages is

Re: [PHP] Problem with SimpleXML

2005-08-24 Thread Jordan Miller

Yes, simplexml can do this easily. See:
http://www.php.net/simplexml



Example 7. Setting values

Data in SimpleXML doesn't have to be constant. The object allows  
for manipulation of all of its elements.


?php
include 'example.php';
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr);

$xml-movie[0]-characters-character[0]-name = 'Miss Coder';

echo $xml-asXML();
?
The above code will output a new XML document, just like the  
original, except that the new XML will change Ms. Coder to Miss Coder.




Uros, it looks like you want to change one of the attributes; you  
will need to use some of this code to handle the attributes:




Example 4. Using attributes

So far, we have only covered the work of reading element names and  
their values. SimpleXML can also access element attributes. Access  
attributes of an element just as you would elements of an array.


?php
include 'example.php';

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr);

/* Access the rating nodes of the first movie.
 * Output the rating scale, too. */
foreach ($xml-movie[0]-rating as $rating) {
   switch((string) $rating['type']) { // Get attributes as element  
indices

   case 'thumbs':
   echo $rating, ' thumbs up';
   break;
   case 'stars':
   echo $rating, ' stars';
   break;
   }
}
?



regards,
Jordan

[PHP] syntax for two comparison operators

2005-08-24 Thread Jordan Miller

General question,

Is there a technical reason why PHP does not allow comparison  
operator expressions like the following:


if (2  $x = 4) {}


I prefer this concise way as it is common for mathematics  
expressions, and much easier to grasp physically on first glance.  
From what I can tell, this expression can currently only be written as:


if ( $x  2  $x = 4) {}


Would adding this syntax to PHP be incredibly difficult or lead to  
performance slowdowns?


I think I remember reading that PHP always evaluates expressions from  
right to left, so I guess there may be a considerable codebase change  
required. Maybe there could be a default function workaround for this  
or some other way to automagically process these more concise  
expressions without too much of a slowdown?? Just curious.

Re: [PHP] Week Days

2005-08-19 Thread Jordan Miller

Yo,

All you need is the mktime() command.

do something like:
$futureDate = date(Y-m-d, mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $today+ 
$daysToAdd, $year));


Jordan


http://www.php.net/mktime
mktime() is useful for doing date arithmetic and validation, as it  
will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range  
input. For example, each of the following lines produces the string  
Jan-01-1998.


?php
echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 1997));
echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 13, 1, 1997));
echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
echo date(M-d-Y, mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 98));

You need to use absolute URLs for the images.

ALternatively you can embeded images in the actual HTML messages

Re: [PHP] PHP MySQL insert

2005-08-18 Thread Jordan Miller
besides just escaping your strings, i think you are having a quoting  
error:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

Commas should not have to be escaped, and indeed the  
mysql_real_escape_string() function will not escape commas. After  
escaping your input data with this function, I would make the $query  
text a bit more technically correct:

Change this:
$query = insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2) values (NULL,  
'$data1', '$data2');

to this:
$query = insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2) values (NULL, '. 
$data1.', '.$data2.');

echo $query.br\n;

to ensure proper handling of all data in the sql commands.
If you echo your $query before the insert, what do you get? This is  
always a good practice when you're having trouble.

Re: [PHP] optional argument when creating a function

apparently the ampersand means to treat $link as a reference, not as  
an optional argument:

http://www.softwareprojects.org/php-functions-12.htm

I think the way to do it would be to set a default value in your  
function so that if a value is set by the calling statement that  
would override it:


function doEmail($username, $link = false)
{
if ($link !=== false)
{
// doEmail($arg1, $arg2); gets sent here
print $link $username;
}
else
{
// doEmail($arg1); gets sent here
print $username;
}
}

haven't tested this, but give it a try.

Re: [PHP] How Can I delete an Item of one array

2005-08-17 Thread Jordan Miller

you use the unset() function:

unset($array[$key]); // http://www.php.net/unset

you can reindex the keys if they are numeric with:

$reindexedArray = array_values($array); // http://www.php.net/ 
array_values

Re: [PHP] mail()

2005-08-17 Thread Jordan Miller

Did you install sendmail?



http://www.php.net/mail

Requirements

For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the  
sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use  
another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the  
appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first  
look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/ 
usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended  
to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that  
compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.

Re: [PHP] Help correcting a form mailer problem...

2005-08-17 Thread Jordan Miller
wherever you think you are adding data to the gmev array, you are  
merely adding the on string. I would search your script for the  
string on and you will find the problem.


what you need is the value in the HTML form to be the text you want  
inserted into the array, such as:

input type=checkbox name=gmev[1] value=September 9th

Re: [PHP] Help correcting a form mailer problem...

2005-08-17 Thread Jordan Miller

Ted,

On your sticky page, your checkbox input commands no longer have  
their corresponding value attributes. Just add those back in, and  
you will be all set (you only have the value attribute set on the  
event_reg.php page, NOT on the event_reg_calc.php page). This is your  
only problem.


i.e. change the code so that the output here:
http://www.passeycorp.com/event_reg_calc.php
will change from this:
input name=gmev[] type=checkbox id=gmev checked=checked/
to this:
input name=gmev[] type=checkbox id=gmev value=September 9th  
checked=checked/

Re: [PHP] sending HTML (incl. embedded images) to browser

2005-08-17 Thread Jordan Miller

Hi Jake,

You don't have to do anything special, you just have to have  
standards compliant HTML output.


What is the HTML for the IMG tag output to the browser (i.e. go to  
the web browser, load the page in question, find the img tag, and  
send us this text). I think maybe your images are just not in the  
right directory or are not being referenced correctly.


also, what is the actual PHP code used to print the img tag? maybe  
you're not escaping quotes correctly...?

Is there a good tutorial out there (I can't seem to find it) on how

[PHP] PHP 5 limits readfile to 1.9 MB?

the minimal code needed for download:

header(Content-Type: application/pdf);
header( Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\$filename\);
$len = filesize($file_to_read);
header(Content-Length: $len);
@readfile($file_to_read);

php.ini file for both php version 4 and 5 contain the following  
settings that may be relevant:


allow_url_fopen = On
