Dreamweaver MX

They seem to have merged all the editing bits of Homesite in with Dreamweaver.

I must say this is the is best incarnation of DW yet, I've been using it 
since v1.2 and find MX great, especially now they've improved there support 
for CSS positioning in the preview window.

I haven't had time to look into the php side of things on it.

I currently use Zend 2.5 which is a vast improvement over 2. The php/html 
code completion is very good. I got it cheap or I probably wouldn't have 
shelled out that much for it. Zend now have released 2.0.1 as freeware, but 
I'm not sure if this is a cutdown 2 or the full thing, but as I say, this 
really is not reflection of how much better 2.5 is.

I use Zend mainly due to the fact that most of my development is on linux and 
due to the fact that it is java, it looks and feels the same  wheter I'm on 
doze or linux.

For a free windows php editor I like phpedit, which despite it's bugs is very 
good.

I also like ultraedit for general editing, etc...

I haven't tried any other as it would consume far too much time and I 
probably never get any work done.

Try

or

AFAIR you can't use array variables straight within strings.

Maybe I'm just about to be proved wrong :)

You can change this either in your php.ini or add it to a .htaccess as;

php_value include_path ".:/path/to/your/dir"

if your system is setup for it.

Hi Alan

I think this is primarily due to the fact that the phplib sessions were 
around before php built in sessions.

In the current CVS for phplib there are some files that allow you to utilise 
php's built in sessions. This enables you to use file storage for sessions. 

I've been using the session4 stuff with phplib for a while and works well, 
but this is using db storage. I wouldn't imagine there will be a problem just 
using a different session container.

As for the default distribution of phplib I don't know if this can use files 
for session storage I haven't had the need to find out.

Hi the function you need is explode.

try

$my_path = explode("/",$PATH_INFO);
array_shift($my_path);

so $my_path[0] will be moneypower using the above
$my_path[1] will be test.html

Whic version of PHP are you using? If it's 4.1 I think php ships with 
register_globals off.

I think you have to access your variables with $_GET & $_POST. I'm not too 
sure as I haven't upgraded yet.

Hi

see this page for more details

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3

You do actually need the file called projects. This is the file that does
all the work.

It didn't quite work exactly as that for me, so here's what I did just in
case you need it.

add the follwoing into  .htaccess under you site root

## set rewrite rule for author
RewriteRule ^/projects/(.*) /projects?rest_of_url=/$1

Then add this to your projects file

$_MY_PATH = explode("/",$PATH_INFO);
array_shift($_MY_PATH);

This will give you the array of elements that come after projects.
i.e /projects/LovePeaceAndBananas/one

$_MY_PATH[0] // this will be LovePeaceAndBananas
$_MY_PATH[1] // this is one

etc

Try this

// $var = variable to check
// $len = length
function check_int($var,$len)
{
if(eregi("^[0-9]{$len}$",$var))

So what error message do you get?

$c->telefono is an array so you will not be able to echo it straight out.
It will echo 'Array'.

Is this what you're getting?

RE: [PHP] How to protect MySQL password

[Matt Williams]

Move it outside the document root

or put a .htaccess file inside the dir to deny access. This will still allow
system access but will prevent other fopen.

[PHP] class problems

[Matt Williams]

Any ideas why this won't output anything

table;
}

}

echo test::showName();

?>

I have other classes along the similar lines but a lot bigger which work
fine.
I'm also using phplib which has a lot of this stuff going on...

I remeber seeing something regarding it in the manual but i don't get how
it's all worked before.

I'm using php4.06 apache 1.3.19 on win2k.

values of image_x and image_y will be set if you use a button.
Also be aware that if someone submits the form via keyboard none of these
maybe set.

You could use a hidden field containing the formname and look for that

This is how I do it.

Use this rewrite
RewriteRule ^/foobar/(.*) /foobar?rest_of_url=/$1

Then everything after foobar/ will be put into $PATH_INFO.

I then call these lines at the top of every page

$PATH = explode("/",$PATH_INFO);
array_shift($PATH);

now $PATH[0] = 23
$PATH[1] = 45
etc...

Get it

Because your function has the same name as your class whenever you
create a new instance of the class the function will automatically
run.

So by creating a new class you are calling the function without
passing any arguments.

either

a) rename the function

or 

b) call the class like this

$my_records = new Display_Records($row, $record_count);

sorry for any wrong use of terminology

If you're using apache and have rewrite enable. you could use

RewriteRule ^/(.*) /my_script?rest_of_url=/$1

or just

I would suggest searching the phplib archives. Using phplib with php 4 has
come up quite a few times.
It should work "as is" but there are a few files in CVS to make use of
php4's native session handling.

I think this is the way it is.

Rather than testing for the value of submit, I have started adding a hidden
field called formname with the value being which ever form it is.
I then look for this instead of the value of the submit button

[PHP] Regular expressions

[Matt Williams]

Hi

I have the script below which encases every occurance of span in a 
tag

The problem is I don't want it to replace any occurance of span that is
inside a tag.
how could I acheive this?
I'm using perl regular expressions to keep the original case of the string.
So, how could I replace occurances of span that aren't in a tag?

Many thanks

M@ ' my regular expressions book is in the post
#



span, span the span";
echo $string.NL;
$search = array("span");
echo "Count = ".count($search).NL;
for($i=0;$i < count($search); $i++)
{
$result =$string;
if(next($search) == false)
{
reset($search);
}
$bgstring = current($search);
$result = preg_replace("/($bgstring+)/ie", "'\\1'", 
$result);

RE: [PHP] highlighting search results (revisited)

[Matt Williams]

Hi James

I'll paste the code I use..

$string = search string entered in the text box.
#
// REPLACE SPACES FOR MULTIWORD SEARCH
$string = str_replace(" ","%",$string);

$db->query("SELECT title,description FROM files WHERE (title LIKE
'%$string%') || (description LIKE '%$string%')");
// SPLIT THE SEARCH INTO PARTS FOR HIGHLIGHTING
$bg = explode("%",$string);
while($db->next_record())
{
$title = $db->f("title");
$des = $db->f("description");
for($z=0; $z <  count($bg); $z++)
{
// reset the array if it's at the end
if(next($bg) == false)
{
reset($bg);
}
$bgstring = current($bg);
$title = preg_replace("/($bgstring+)/ie", "'\\1'", $title);
$des = preg_replace ("/($bgstring+)/ie", "'\\1'", $des);
}
echo $title.NL;
echo $des.NL.NL;

}

###

The above code works as expectedexcept if I search for span and say
class;

now this will highlight span in the search string found from the database
but on the second run ie. hightlighting class, it will re-highlight the
  in the span tags from the original pass.

Do you get what I mean??


preg_replace is used to keep the original case of the results as it's a case
insensitive search

I need to be able to replace only result that aren't enclosed in a class tag

Cheers

Hi James

Yes and no.

I've got it to do that but what if the user enters more than one word?
I need to be able to loop inside the while for each word to be able to
highlight it. I think!
The problem is if someone enters a word which is used within the
hightlighting code. ie. font in your example.
This would then hightlight this again and screw the resulting code.

[PHP] highlighting search results (revisited)

[Matt Williams]

I am trying to write a little search script to search a mysql db.

I would like to highlight the search words for the displayed results, like
sourceforge etc...

After a little help, I have got it to hightlight when searching for one
word. The problem is if I do a search for more than one word it repeats the
hightlighting.

here's the code I got so far

$bg = explode("%",$string);
while($db->next_record())
{
$title = $db->f("title");
$des = $db->f("description");
for($z=0; $z <  count($bg); $z++)
{
if(next($bg) == false)
{
reset($bg);
}
$bgstring = current($bg);
$title = preg_replace("/($bgstring+)/ie", "'\\1'", $title);
$des = preg_replace ("/($bgstring+)/ie", "'\\1'", $des);
}
echo $title.NL;
echo $des.NL.NL;

}
The problem is is I search for class or span it screws up the code as it
replaces the span or class in the original tag.

How could I stop this?
I know this another rex ex thing and I'm gonna get the oreilly book when I'm
next in the city but untill then it's driving me bonkers.

TIA

[PHP] search highlighting

[Matt Williams]

Hi

I'm implementing a simple keyword search.
I want the results to be displayed with the keywords highlighted.
I am currently using this to highlight the keywords

str_replace($string,"$string",$field);

If I search for php, it will find PHP, PhP etc... but using the above only
php will will be highlighted, not PHP.
I've tried eregi_replace but I could only get that to change the case and
highlight that ie. PHP would become php.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how to highlight the string
regardless of case but keep the case for the match.

TIA

[Matt Williams]

Anyway,

The only way PHP can make Word open on a clients machine is if a word
document is sent to the client, or the clients browser believes that is
receiving a word document.

You may be able to open word and insert text client side by using activex or
vbscript but PHP is server side and cannot spawn Word on a clients machine
using COM.

You would have to use COM server side to create the document the send it to
the browser
NB. This requires word to be installed server side.

Hi

Firstly, you need to add your smtp server in php.ini under the [mail
function] heading
ie.

SMTP= smtp.mydomain.com

and secondly your connection to this needs to be open.

I've had php report errors before depending on whether the mail server likes
\r or \n or neither.

But if you're just sending the one liner like above this obviously rules
that out.

you could make your links absolute

you would link to

Hi

OK my thoughts, no disrespect intended.

Is the table Users and not users? Are all the column names correct and are
they really in this tables??

also try
$result = mysql_query($query, $link) or die ($mysql_error())

to see what output mysql is giving as to why the query failed.

As I say no disrespect but you need to go back and try to unsderstand why it
is failing

RE: [PHP] array headaches

I have done it this way...

$menu = array();
$count = $db->num_rows();
for($i = 0; $db->next_record(); $i++)
{
$menu[$i]["name"] = $db->f("name");
$menu[$i]["url"] = $db->f("topic_id");
}

OK, so is there a better way of acheiving the same end result?
and this is what I've got to print the results

while ( list($name, $subarray) = each($menu) )


echo "".$subarray["name"]."\n";

}

is there any better way of doing this??

thanks

Thanks, maybe I should have made myself a little clearer though

I am expecting more than one row to be returned from the db.

So how would I get the all the rows returned into an associative array??
The manual tells you how how it should, but I need to do it from
mysql_fetch_array

I'm not sure but this may cause a problem.

As for getting the redeclare error, are you sure the function is not
declared in the page or any other file that is included.

Sorry if this seems a little obvious..

[PHP] Getting warning using split

[Matt Williams]

Hi

I'm trying to split a string into an array but keep getting the following
message:

Warning: unexpected regex error (13) in z:/www_root/staff.php on line 34

The code is just

$query_string = split("+",$search);

where $search is from a form.

Any clues??

RE: [PHP] how do i hide my .inc files in apache??

[Matt Williams]

I think you may be missing the point on this one.
The question wasn't what to name included files but how to stop apache
parsing or showing the contents of the include files.

The obvious solution of course is to have the included files outside the web
tree.

Order allow,deny

in either your httpd.conf or a .htaccess file will deny users access to your

if(ereg("jpg|jpeg|gif$",$userfile_name))

This will check that the uploaded file has the correct extension.

Where $userfile is the upload field name in the form
