[PHP] Crontabs

2002-06-18 Thread Matthew Ward

I want to set up a crontab using my hosts control panel, and when i go to
set one up there are boxes for how frequently you want the task to run, and
one labelled Command.

Basically, I want to get a PHP script to run every set amount of time, so
what do I have to type in the Command box to get a PHP script to run?

 Yeah, urgh, not exactly what I was hoping on, but I'll give executing perl
a
 try... I want to stay as far away as possible from mod_perl  (It's a long
 story)...

 I was maybe hoping there would have been some kind of perl extension...
 Maybe in a year or two - who knows what people may come up with.

  You can do system calls to perl scripts, and if apache is setup I
  believe you can do mod_perl and php in the same page.

   For example, can I load perl Modules via a PHP script, and execute
 functions
   and procedures that's written in Perl from PHP scripts?

 If your script has the appropriate #! at the top, you can type in the path
 and name of the script.  Say, /usr/home/username/dir/script.php for
 example.

 Make sure the script has it's owner executable permission set (chmod 700,
 for example).

[PHP] How YaBB logs in

2002-05-15 Thread Matthew Ward

I'm currently integrating my site with YaBB so that when you log into my
YaBB forums it also logs you into the whole site. I'm also developing a
script that I'm integrating into my main page that checks the password in
the cookie with the one in the database as a security check.

The problem is, the crypted password stored in the database is seeded with
the password itself, however the crypted password that the YaBB login script
stores in the cookie is seeded with ys, producing two completely different
passwords. So how am I (and how does YaBB) compare these two passwords to
make sure their the same, if their completely different?

[PHP] Re: PHP and mySQL

2002-05-13 Thread Matthew Ward

I presume that quantity is the number of books that the person has
ordered, and therefore it needs to be a variable (ie with a $ infront of it)
and its also best to do the calculation outside of the SQL statement just to
be sure it works, eg:

if ($submit){
   if(isset($booktitle)  isset($quantity)){
  $retrievestock = mysql_query(SELECT stock FROM Book2 WHERE booktitle
= '$booktitle');
  while($getstock = mysql_fetch_array($retrievestock)) {
 $stockamount = $getstock[stock];
  }

  $newamount = $stockamount - $quantity;

  $sql = mysql_query(UPDATE Book2 SET stock = '$newamount' WHERE
booktitle= '$booktitle');
  if(! $sql) { print(Could not update stock amount.);
} elseif(! $submit) {
   print(Your order has not been placed.p);
}

 I am a student working on a practicum problem. I have a mySQL database
that
 contains the books, their title, and how many are in stock.  When a person
 orders one of the books, I want the stock to be adjusted by how many,
 quantity, that they chose when the submit button is clicked.  The scripts
 are written in PHP.
 Here is part of my code:
 PThe book you are ordering:

 ?
 echo  $booktitle ;

 PAdditional Message:br

 INPUT type=submit value=Send your order.
 input type=hidden name=booktitle value=? print $booktitle; ?

  $user = adminer;
  $pass = hoosiers;
  $db = Book Store1;
  $local = jolinux;
  $link = mysql_connect( $local, $user, $pass   );
  if (! $link )
die ( Couldn't open the database );
  mysql_select_db( $db, $link )
  or die ( Couldn't open the $db: .mysql_error() );

  if ($submit){
  if( $booktitle, 'quantity' ){
 $sql = UPDATE Book2 SET stock ='$stock-quantity' WHERE
booktitle=$booktitle
 AND quantity=quantity;
  }
 // $result = mysql_query($mysql);
  }else if(!$submit){
   echo Your order has not been placed.p;

[PHP] Re: PHP file Opening Problem

2002-05-13 Thread Matthew Ward

It sounds like your just trying to open the file straight from your hard
drive using IE. Unfortunately, PHP doesn't work like HTML files or
JavaScript in that its not IE or any other web browser that makes PHP
work. It is actually a server that works out all the PHP bits, puts it all
in the right places in the HTML file and then sends it to your web browser
which then works out how to display the HTML code and displays it.
Therefore, to get your PHP files to work, you have to either upload them to
a host server or install a server such as Apache with the PHP Module on to
your computer.

[PHP] Re: PHP Hosting ...

2002-05-12 Thread Matthew Ward

Instead of switching hosting companies, why don't you just install
phpMyAdmin on your webspace, that way you can control your mySQL databases
in a far more user-friendly way than SSH will let you do

Tim Thorburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message

 Hi,

 I've about had it with my current hosting company as they've turned off
SSH
 for the past month due to security reasons which means I can no longer
 add/remove tables from my MySQL database.  Looking at two other hosting
 companies - SBC Webhosting - www.webhosting.com and Verio - www.verio.com

 Does anyone here use either of these companies?  If so, could you please
 let me know your opinions of each?

 Thanks

Re: [PHP] Search Engine With Boolean Support --Please help

2002-05-12 Thread Matthew Ward

This is a bit of a tricky one, as a search engine isn't just some 10 line
code you can quickly type and expect to work. It'd be quite complex, because
you have to run several queries for each of the boolean types, and you also
have to account somehow for case-sensitivity.

I'm currently working on a search engine to incorporate into my Content
Management System (more info at http://www.inspirationstudios.co.uk/dot/cms)
that incorporates all your requirements so I'll get back to you with some
more coding info once I've worked on it there.

 I don't want to use a module though. I just want to take what a person
 types and parse it so I can put it into a mysql query and search my
 database of data. I share the server and I can't get mnoGoSearch
 compiled in with PHP, so unless there's PHP code I can borrow from it, I
 don't think it will help me.

You can add further variables to the end of your current mail() function to
specify the name of who its from, and the email address that they will send
the message to when they use the reply function on their email program, like
this:
