[PHP] call_user_func_array how to use on object php >= 5.3
I am working on code that implements a delegate design pattern, this makes use of the call_user_func_array function. I am having trouble with this particular line in PHP 5.3 return call_user_func_array(array($delegate, $methodName), $parameters); $delegate is an object, and not simply the class name in a string. This works in versions of PHP lower than 5.3, but it seems as though the behaviour of this function was changed in 5.3, requiring you to pass the class name, meaning that the method will always be called statically. So my question is, is there any way that I can emulate the functionality of call_user_func_array that was present in PHP < 5.3? I would prefer not to use eval, but would like to retain the ability to call methods within objects dynamically. Sorry if I am not making myself clear, advice and input would be appreciated.

[PHP] Variable Names
Hi, I seem to be having a problem in assigning a value to an array where the array is called dynamically. e.g. the physical name for the array is "my_array", so: my_array[1] = "test"; works fine. $array_name = "my_array"; $array_name[1] = "test"; does not work. I have tried $$array_name[1] = "test"; but to no avail. Here is my code /** * Adds any posted values from the application form to the session */ function add_form_to_session() { foreach ($_POST AS $key => $value) { if (is_array($value)) { foreach ($value AS $subkey => $subvalue) { $_SESSION['ses-app-form']->$key[$subkey] = $subvalue; //echo "value: ".$key.""; } } else { $_SESSION['ses-app-form']->$key = $value; //echo "value: ".$key." = ".$value.""; } } } Any Ideas?

[PHP] Removing PHPSESSID - CGI Install
Hi, I have PHP installed as a CGI module on my server. I want to stop PHPSESSID from appearing in the URL when a users cookies are turned for just one account. My hosting company says that this is impossible - they would have to change php.ini and that would affect every account on the server. Also if PHP is changed to an Apache module then they won't support it. Is there no other way around this? Removing PHPSESSID is very important for SEO purposes...

Re: [PHP] Including files from another site
Hi, Thanks for your reply, sorry I should have been a little clearer in my explanation. Here goes... I have a dedicated UNIX server with many websites on it. On this server I have also created a Content Management System which has a database which I use to store HTML content for all the other websites. Each website has a database connection to the CMS database to retrieve the HTML for its pages. Each website that uses its own database has a folder called /cms and in here I keep all the database admin scripts for that website. I want these pages to only be accessible from within the CMS website and nothing else. So when the user is in the CMS they can click on database admin and it will include the pages in that websites /cms folder. My Question is how can I ensure that the CMS is the only website that can access these scripts securely? Thanks for your advice.

[PHP] Including files from another site
Hi, I have created a CMS where all sites on our server are administrated from one central site, and HTML content is stored in the CMS database. I want users to all control their sites database functions from the CMS site, but I want to keep the database and database admin scripts in the individual website account to keep things simple. So I need want to be able to include these scripts within the CMS site but keep them secure. I have tried using frames but I can't keep a session going in the database admin scripts, is there a better way to do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] SSL & XML File Download Problem
Hi, I have a site that allows users to download xml files. I have the following php script which prints the results of the query to the browser.

Hi, I am creating a site where users record details of their clients and record their progress. The whole point of the system is to reduce the amount of paper work and store everything online. The problem here is that each user will have their own forms to fill in on their clients, some will record different data to others and some will have more forms than others. Therefore I believe I am correct in saying this would be impossible to store in a database as each user would require their own fields etc. One other solution I have thought of is to have each user create a set of PDF forms when they sign up and each time they fill one in they upload it to the server for storage.

[PHP] Holding links in a database
Hi, I have a table in my database that holds links for individual pages on my site: mysql> DESCRIBE Page_Links; +---+--+--+-+-++ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---+--+--+-+-++ | Link_ID | int(11) | | PRI | NULL| auto_increment | | PHP_SELF | varchar(100) | | | || | Action| varchar(100) | | | || | Link | varchar(255) | | | || | Link_Text | varchar(100) | | | || +---+--+--+-+-++ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) The links that appear on each page depend on PHP_SELF i.e./users/index.php and $_GET[action] variable i.e. add_user. This all works well until there is a problem with the form validation, for example if I am on the add_user.php page and I click to add a user I am taken back to the users list, the action is insert_user and I display the links accordingly. However if there is a problem with the submission i.e. the user leaves a field blank then they are redirected to the add_user.php page, the action is still insert_user but I would not want the same links to appear on this page. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
