Re: [PHP] mysql problem

[Josh G]

Ok, I've fixed the problem, it seems there's some major differences
between the linux / win32 ports of the client.

instead of

blah integer primary key auto_increment

which works on windows, I used

blah integer not null auto_increment primary key

and now it works... I love computers, I really do.

Nope, I've been using autoincrement on that box for a year or so.

It's not a copy/paste thing, cause I'm getting it when I type the lines

[PHP] mysql problem

[Josh G]

Hi, sorry to post this here, but it's driving me crazy. On my local
machine, the following works no furys:

create table category (category_id integer primary key auto_increment,name
varchar(255) );

But on the production machine, I get:

ERROR 1064: parse error near 'auto_increment,name varchar(255) )' at line 1

Any idea why It's driving me nuts..

Re: [PHP] Here you have, ;o)

[Josh G]

Definitely, I agree, but I think it would be better if WSH was simply
patched, perhaps with a way to sign scripts, and non-expert users
can't give them root permissions, and that scripts should not
ever be able to send emails without a user confirmation, no matter
what permissions they have. Perhaps do the same thing with trying
to run a program or load a COM component.

[PHP] Mail classes

[Josh G]

Hi,
I'm wondering what're the best classes available for reading/

I want to do a webmail solution (for myself at first), and don't want

Any pointers?

Re: [PHP] my bugaboo.

[Josh G]

If replacing " characters for output to html, don't replace them with ''
(two single quotes), replace with the magic value " (including
the semicolon), which is a special html entity that means "put a
quotation mark here"

Search google for html entities for more.

Re: [PHP] List of all file extensions

Basically, what he's saying is that the extension can be anything. It's 
only convention (and only on pc/unix) where it's important to determine
what kind of file it is. On advanced filesystems, such as HFS+(mac),
beFS(beos), and such the type of file is kept as an extended attribute
and you can call your jpeg image myimage.doc and it will still get 
sent to the correct application when you double click on it. I think ntfs
and hpfs have the ability to do this, but it's not implemented.

Mime types are things like tex/html and image/jpeg that describe what
kind of file you're dealing with. They are what beFS uses to keep track
of what's in a file.

The reason for extensions is that in unix/windows/dos, all files are the
same, they have no type, they're all just a string of bytes, and the
original inventors or unix needed a way to tell one file from another.

Sounds like an installation problem, I can't really help

Should work, don't know the problem. Try having a
script called test.php that consists only of



then point your browser at http://yourdomain.com/test.php
and see what happens.

Not sure I understand the question. You just need links
to the pages as if they were ordinary html. Or you can
access one script from another by using include(); 

I think you need to read through the first few sections of
the php manual, at http://www.php.net/ as it covers a lot
of these issues.

Oh no! This here is a religious issue, get's asked every few
days, and there's no answer. Use whatever you like. Some
peope love vi and emacs (unix), some love homesite, textpad,
or (myself included) ultraedit on windows.

This is more a html problem thant a php problem, but you
need to use stylesheets... here's an example, paste it into
a html page and play around with it...




<!--

a {color:blue; text-decoration:none; }
a:hover {color:#ff8080; text-decoration:underline; }

-->



this will change colour in explorer.

This one's a biggie... Methinks you should master some of
the simplre things first, then ask this one by itself ;-)

Another tip... The more specific the question, the better,
longer answers you'll recieve.

Just a thanks to everyone on this list, for being helpful, and for
being tolerant. It seems it's a rare thing these days.

Just thought I'd let you guys know, that back when I was learning
PHP (i'm a bit of an old hat by now), this list really helped me out,
so now I'm try to contribute as much as possible, although that 
doesn't seem like too much sometimes :)

Re: [PHP] Automatic incoming mail notification

[Josh G]

Depends on your mailserver. Most mail servers can redirect incoming
mail to a program, I know sendmail can. In your case just make the first
line of your script #!/path/to/php/bin/php and that should do the trick.

Sorry I don't know how to make sendmail do it, only that you can.
Check the man pages tho, shouldn't be too hard.

Subject: [PHP] Automatic incoming mail notification


Hello All!

Sorry for this off-topic posting but this is extremely important for me.

I need a php script to be called each time my email mailbox recieves a new
email message. One way is to have a cron job running and get the php script
to check my mailbox every few minutes to see if there are any new emails and
do the needfull if there is one.

But I guess that there should be a way for the mail server to initiate some
action based on the reciept of a new mail in a particular mailbox. I don't
think trhat sites like Yahoo and Hotmail use cron jobs to sense new emails
in a user's mailbox. Another possibility might be that the checking is being
done every few minutes by the client application.

if anyone has any idea about the methodology being followed by Yahoo and
Hotmail, please be kind enough to pass it on. If anyone is aware of a mail
server otr a mailserver addin which would enable automatic notification and
initiaition of script on the reciept of a new email, please pass the info
on.

I am on Redhat 6.2 with cyrus as my mail server and am using PHP4.

Thanks in advance

Re: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???

[Josh G]

It comes down to one simple thing:
You cannot know how much a project is worth to a client. If they're
willing to pay you $5000, it's worth $5000, wether you think it's worth
$500 or $5. If I buy a pack of basketball cards for $2 that has
ten cards in it, then they're worth 20c each. If suddenly some
collecter says "ohmigod you have a jordan rookie card in there, i'll
give you $3000", it's now worth $3000, because that's what
he is willing to part with to own it.

In short, any skill, service, or product, is "worth" the amount of money
you can exchange it for" this is how the stock market works
(sometimes), it's how just about everything works. If they're willing
to pay it, you should charge it. They can go somewhere else, noone
is holding a gun to their heads.

Everything is a game. You want the most money possible for it, they
want it for the least amount of money, you compromise on something
you can both live with, or you don't do business, and next job, you
have to start over.

Some people won't look at you if you charge less than $150/hr, some
people won't look at you if you chargre more than 40 it's just the
way it is.

True for PHP+Mysql, but not for all databases. Oracle for example,
will run out of cursors in a week or two on a low-traffic site if you

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Variable Creation from Forms

[Josh G]

It is what you're looking for, you just need to think it through a little.

instead of

> $chk_$row["field"]

try

$foo = "chk_" . $row["field"];
$bar = $$foo;

or if you're trying to do something else, you may need

$foo = "chk_" . $row;
$bar = ($$foo)["field"];

as I'm not sure which order of execution you want to happen on that
line, since it's not valid :)

Re: [PHP] Dynamic Variable Creation from Forms

Not *sure* i understand the problem, but this may be the solution:

$foo = "hello";
$bar = "foo";
$foobar = $$bar;

$foobar now contains "hello".

Re: [PHP] Exit Function

[Josh G]

by the way,

if ($foo = $bar)

will return true simply if $bar is not null, i think you want

if ($foo == $bar)

thought I'd point that out, cause if you don't know return that nasty
one would probably bite you on the ass next :)

Re: [PHP] passing data between pages?

[Josh G]

easy - http://www.yourserver.com/path/to/yourfile.php?v1=foo&v2=bar

will create two variables, $v1 and $v2, with the values of "foo" and "bar"
respectively. note that the first variable is preceeded with a ?, all others
afterwards with an &.

Re: [PHP] Maximum execution time exceeded!

[Josh G]

Of course, you have this code:

> while ($prescene2 == 0) {
> $i=$i+1;
> }

Where $prescnene2 is not modified, hence you get an
endless loop. When you increase the timeout, that loop
just gets longer to run.

> Action application/x-httpd-php-source "/php4/php.exe -s"
> AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php4 .php .inc .htm

why not:

> Action application/x-httpd-php-source "/php4/php.exe
/path/to/showsource.php "
> AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php4 .php .inc .htm

and using a php program that takes the input params and shows the
source for whatever file you're trying to look at?

I just pulled that out of my ass tho, dunno how viable it is as an idea
or a server directive, somebody out there correct me?

Re: [PHP] What "PHP" Stands For....

Yeah, it used to be called PHP/FI for Personal Home Page / Form 
Interpreter I do believe. Not sure about the "Interpreter" but I think
that was it.

Re: [PHP] [php] - alphabetizing

[Josh G]

Just build an assosciative array like so

$arr["person1"] = "string1";
$arr["person2"] = "string2";
$arr["person3"] = "string3";

$arr = asort($arr);

this should do what you're looking for.

Nice... has a lot of cool ideas in it, a few of which I'm also working on
for the templating part of a content management system I'm working
on in my spare time (like compilation, except i'm going to do it at 
save-time, not 1st run-time, since i control the publishing functions).

Re: [PHP] date problem: some months have 5 weeks... how I discover which ones?

[Josh G]

can't think of exactly the math, but get the weekdayday of the 1st,
divide how many days in the month/7, and it should be easy enuff.

use a combination of date() and mktime() to get the first day of the
month methinks.

Hey!

A little bit of definition:

- a year has 365/7 ~= 52 weeks;

How do I discover what months have 5 weeks and what have 4?

True, but iirc it's not xml compliant, and might not be a good habit,

Re: [PHP] How do I do to update part of a string?

[Josh G]

You can always use the simple str_replace or my old fave,

$newstring=implode($withthis,explode($this,$oldstring));

replaces all instances of $this with $withthis in $oldstring

Re: [PHP] password() ::: and it's return...

[Josh G]

Well it's up to you wether or not to encrypt passwords, but it's very
irresponsible not to. If somebody cracks your system, chances are
they'll get passwords that can be used on accounts your users have
in other places, so your customers suffer more than they should for
your lax in security.

People say "but if they're in my db then the damage is done" but
you're not the only one out there, and like it or not, there's no way
anybody can manage a different password on every damned site
that makes you sign up.

Yeah, but this simply means that the password is stored somewhere

process.

Re: [PHP] password() ::: and it's return...

[Josh G]

There are a few ways to go about this-

1) The "secret question" method, where the user enters a question
only they would know the answer to upon signing up, and they can
use this to get in if they forget the password. Which begs the
question - why use a password in the first place?

2) Administrator intervention- a request is made to an administrator,
who sets a new password on behalf of the user.

3) Email a generated password- Generate a password, and email
it to the user. However, malicious users could do this to shut off
other people's accounts, so perhaps you should have a two step
process:

a) the user says "I've lost my password" and an email is sent to
said user's email address...

b) the email contains a link to a script, which only then generates
a new password and sends it back to the user. This makes sure
that whoever it making the request at least has access to the
email account listed for that user, and you can be more sure that
nothing too shady's going on :-) Oh, and for verification, the
link could be something like

http://your.site.com/scripts/newpw?oldpw=foo&user=x

where foo is the md5() password already in the database, so in
order to spoof the link the hacker would already need to know
the password or have db axs in the first place :)

Hope I've given you some ideas.

I'm not sure I understand the question. What exactly do you mean? Are
you talking about returning it from the client already encrypted? Not sure
if anybody does that, as JS doesn't have a whole lot of useful encryption
stuff in it, and iirc the md5() algorith is rather lengthy.

Unlink works on some installations, not others. I think it works on NT
but not 95 or perhaps the other way around. Why is this? Unlink is
hardly an unsupported system call in windows! Anybody know?

Re: [PHP] logging page views, which method is better????

[Josh G]

Another technique is use a quick-and dirty save of one line to a text
file, and have a cron script or somehting similar simply run every
day or every few hours that reads from your home-made log into a
db table, and then empties the file.

yeah you can do that, don't know about other phones, but for nokia
you need the cable, a phone with the appropriate plugs (ie a 5xx0 /
6xx0 / 7xx0 / 9xx0 model phone, not a 8xx0 or 3xx0 model), and
the nokia data suite or free alternative if they exist for your operating

I agree... In fact the last major project I did by myself was even better,
it was

layout_textbox(array(

vname  => "user_name",
desc=> "Enter your name",
size  => 20,
pixel_size => 120, //Just for better control in IE
max_size => 30 ));

doesn't matter what order they go in, and the function puts
defaults in for missing variables.

you get the idea... made coding slightly longer, execution slightly
slower, but maintainince 100% faster, no more looking up queer
function definitions every time you wanted to change the size or
value of something.

Plus, when i changed all text fields in the system to simple ones
with a different stylesheet, I simply update layout_textbox function.
Couldn't use stylesheet, or buttons would be affected as well...

Almost exactly the same, save it would be

layout_open_table(array(.));

foo foo foo

layout_close_table();

Didn't think anybody out there did it the way I do :-)

Re: [PHP] Re-engineering print()

If the system() doesn't return something, try using the backticks (left of
the 1
key) like so:

$s = `/path/to/php /path/to/yourfile.php`;

Re: [PHP] Re-engineering print()

[Josh G]

$s = system ("/usr/local/whatever/php/bin/php /path/to/your/file.php");

This should be what you're after. In PHP4 there _may_ be some way
to use the inbuilt buffering for that purpouse, but I doubt it.

Perhaps this could be added to the language? It would be a good
counterpart to eval()...

Why this??? It's redundant, isn't it? Wouldn't

$s= implode("\n", file('template.php')); do it?

Re: [PHP] looking for a PHP editor

[Josh G]

I went to their homepage, and couldn't find a link to download
the actual program, just some example stuff, and it says "coming
soon"... Is it out there somewhere and I'm just retarded, or are
you mob on a beta list or something???
