Re: [PHP] how to select a file on a random basis?
Ok well that array idea could work.. but what's the filename format of these files?? if they're all contigous or in some kind of pattern there maybe a faster and easier way such as if you have them for example named: file1.ext, file2.ext or some pattern or other.. then you can just use random number func's to do some work with you and all should be good.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] How can I access the value in a variable whos name is in a string
simple..
try this:
echo eval($variablename);
then again why are you eval()ing at all??
why can't you do this:
$var1="var2";
$$var1=13;
echo $var2;
//or perhaps even better:
//echo $$var1;
seems simple enough.. haven't tested but theory is there I think..

Re: [PHP] Complex(ish) Question for Newbie
well personally I have never had a good time with mysql_num_rows.. dunno why.. never
seemed to have worked the way it should for me..
anyway point is if it works for you good, otherwise do what I do to get a rowcount and
just:
$sql_count=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM table_name",$DB));
and then you can just refer to it via $sql_count[0]...
anyways after that it depends.. what do you want to do?
if for example you want a "page" listing system in which you have say 1000 records and
you want to display only 30 per page or something and users can "browse" through by
hitting "prev page" and "next page" etc.. that's easy to do...
just be more specific on what you want to do..

Goody another easy to answer one :) no harm intended.. it's a perfectly good question Okay first is it sorted how you want? if so you can use the LIMIT start,len feature of mysql.. for example: select * from table_name order by col_name limit 5,10 will select records 5 to 15 (5+10) if of course there are 10 more to collect otherwise it will just return whatever it finds from the select that is ordered by col_name.. quite simple.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] (newbi)mySQL query question
try this:
$query = "SELECT code FROM links WHERE sort_text LIKE '$letter%'";
Note there are now single quotes (') identifying the string of the LIKE operator and
also the assignment operator (=) has been replaced with the proper LIKE mySQL operator
that allows for string search arguments.

This doesn't have a huge amount to do with PHP but,
I have the following code for my SQL query:
$query = "SELECT code FROM links WHERE sort_text = $letter*";
I get an error.
What I want to do is be able to specify a letter and have the rest be undefined eg
if $letter was t
I would get TecEco, Tiny, and Trailer
and if $letter was b I would get Basket and Ball.
Could any one show me the correct syntax off their heads?JJ Harrison

Re: [PHP] Self Destruct code
Well I share heavily with whoever the starter of this post was..
see yes.. upfront half payments are indeed much better..
but.. (and I assume here) when you are younger and have a smaller reputation
it's harder for clients to understand that.. so you usually end up with this
problem of having a site.. but like they could reject offer at last moment
or worse yet.. personal experience here 3 months ago.. you upload to their
server..
the business changes hands.. server ftp passwords change.. you lose contact
mysteriously with your contact. and voila.. pftt. in a puff of smoke.. your
hard worked site.. has no connection to you anymore.. you can't remove/touch
it.. and noone answers you..
You ring them back EVERY afternoon for a week straight... always being told
they will ring you back ASAP...
BULLSHIT.. what a load of crap...
No reply calls... No emails... Nothing.. Zilch.. and more importantly.. NO
F***ING MONEY!!!
Soo.. You have ISP bills, mobile bills, maybe rent/family/living costs (not
in my case), Uni text books, transport, webhosting etc.. and no money..
Yes.. That's a personal tale... Quite sad... But I have moved on..
It get's worse.. I was bitten twice by same client.. First site I made for
him.. Was for their main biz.. And that took like 3-4months to FINALLY get
paid.. Then I did the 2nd one.. and yeah.. you know the rest.. :(
Anyway here's a tip..
Remember.. in this kinda work... "YOU'RE THE BOSS" ... so go like this..
Go to the little biz you wanna do a site for.. or if you're offered that's
even better and be straight, to the point and barely flexible.. Don't let
them get you..
AND don't sell yourself cheap..
Try this: "I can make you a site for $850 that will allow you to perform all
you have asked and has room for expansion later on when your company grows..
I may also charge you a small fee of $5-10 per month for maintance and
hosting costs"..
the maintance fee of course is just some bonus "fixed/guaranteed" income per
month... 5-10 bucks is crap but once you do 50 sites.. it counts for a
little more pocket money...
Hey don't stop there..
Site I am doing now for a popular local biz (comp shop) is 650 for site,
nice a cheap once-off. and AUD$20 per month to cover their www domain name
payments and help towards my hosting..
And my hosting is SOO cheap that I could easily fit like 12 of these sites
similiar to this one on my server on my current plan.. and therefore be
making nice little profit.. :)
Anywayz.. back to your story..
Hahahah.. I must laugh.. Yes the thought occured to me without hesitation
when they f**ked me over.. but as I said.. I had not planned for it,
therefore I had no "backdoor" as such.. and as I had no FTP access anymore i
was well done for..
Lesson learnt: Don't mess with biz men :)
This time? Muhahahah.. Cos every site I build uses more PHP and MySQL than
you could shake a stick at anyway its quite easy for me to put a file or
just a special little "function" that allows me to easily.. hmmm yes.. you
got the idea...
Yeah I think it's a good idea.. Maybe not destroy (although it'd be nice)
but just render unusable..
Like it's quite simple really..
If you let's say use a header kind of file for each and every page of site
(like I do) to load up global vars and format of site etc.. than you can
haev something in there that handles it..
For a quick example:
Let's say you have your files all use (include/require) a header.php
Then in your header.php just add these lines
-
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["site_power"])) {
if($HTTP_GET_VARS["site_power"]=="off") unlink("/test.tmp");
else {
$powerfile=fopen("/test.tmp","w");
fclose($powerfile);
}
}
if(file_exists("/test.tmp")) exit("This site has been temporarily disabled
due to payment complications.. Please check back soon.");
--
that's about all there is to it.. Should work fine.. Some of you may say:
"USE $_GET instead" but I have always used the $HTTP_*_VARS idea.. and it
works.. and it's compat with newer versions still of PHP so as far as I can
see it's all ok.. but replace if you want.. up to you..
Yeah basically just format up a little message for them... and that'll be
shown if you send the get name=value pair to ANY php file on your site
containing something like: /file.php?site_power=off
you can turn it back on with just passing on in there.. optionally you may
want to use a password kinda of idea too.. just combine md5 if you want to
do soemthing like
if(md5($HTTP_GET_VARS["site_power"]))="41d67d9b067b00ed2ce76af695767644")...
..
which happens to be md5 of: "mypassword_off"
so you get the idea..
Well
Re: [PHP] Who's having a good hosting experience these days? {!?}
Hmm
Brisbane eh?
Heard of Bribie Island?? Up north.. oooh, say 40mins drive 30 mins if
your speeding abit :)
Yeah.. That's me home :P
Yeah love the crap restrictions they give you on broadband here in Aus eh?
Lemme guess: Telstra? You shoulda gone with optus.. I love Telstra (dad
works for them) but Optus give you 15Gb p/m on their cable package.. So..
I'd have to weigh up telstra loyalty for value :)
Of course that's dependent on area and geo. location too...
Anywayz.. I can't get any broadband at ALL here yet.. But ADSL has been
installed in exchanges over xmas holi's and should be hopefully rolled out
for us to use soon :)
Ok well.. Hi to a fellow Aussie :) spose I should be saying something
appropriate like:
Cya later mate!

Re: [PHP] MYSQL ERROR CONNECT
Ha.. Aussie person too eh?
Ok.. Have you recently updated your php system?
Reason I ask is the way you are using the functions mysql_connect and
mysql_select_db are quite ... "bad" to say the least
You should have permissions setup for a root account or something in your
mysql.user table and then you can do this:
$DB=mysql_connect("localhost","root","password");
notice I now have a user/pass arg and also I am assigning the handle of the
connection to a var ($DB)
then use:
mysql_select_db("smpk2",$DB);
and that should work fine as long as user and pass are right and db exists..
(and server has mysql running of course :P )
if not.. let us know..
If you want to know how to setup users and permissions for MySQL.. give us a
yell.. be glad to help out..

If a user can get the crypted value off your server, AND also figure how to trick the PHP engine into accepting a session cookie that wasn't created on your domain, then that would be either: a) you have dangerous and volatile PHP scripts that allow users to perform such nasty tricks b) your server security should be greatly improved..

I could just pass the key or something around instead and then in my PHP header that runs on each and every page just reload a array with all the details anyway.. instead of passing around the array.. oh and as for "reauthenticating" well that's done because.. well stupid really when you think of it.. Unless they breach PHP as mentioned above, and trick the session system, then there is little need to keep auth'ing them.. Haha.. Actually I just looked at my code.. Sorry I was mistaken.. due to the complexity of my site. it doesn't actually "reauth" as such.. instead it checks to see the "status" of the user and does some log updates.. (to keep track of user's still online etc..) ... when I say status.. I mean if I ban/block users while logged in.. the changes happen AS SOON as they view another page on the site and they get a lovely page telling them of their predicament :) Anywayz.. very interesting topic.. I will keep an eye on this..

Re: [PHP] Secure user authentication
that is a good suggestion.. Using SSL to perform "sensitive" logins.. and then using some sort of "hidden" or "encrypted" passwords in your sessions should provide a nice level of security and comfort.. ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Presumably you have a Javascript implementation of your algorithm, which runs on the login page - otherwise you'd just be transmitting the password in clear text from the browser to the server, right? If you don't do this, how do you deal with getting the password from the user to the server so you can authenticate them? If you do, how do you deal with people who have Javascript disabled?

[PHP] Secure user authentication
Hmm yes good question.. Security was (still is) a major for my organisation's site and I did something a little unique and robust.. I love programming and I hate "stealing" (some call it borrowing) other programmer's scripts/code from the web.. therefore I write it _all_ myself.. Trust me.. Sometimes this is a dumb attitude to take such as when I created my first Perl discussion forum.. still running I think (http://the-radix.hypermart.net i think) and that consisted of this huge perl system to maintain the files etc.. for members and the forum.. Anyway! off the sub now.. I used sessions and pass around the array of columns for that member/user .. but the password is put through my own fairly unbreakable (yes.. I am serious) password key system.. An idea to make your own safe keys to pass them around or use for authenticating is simple maths and a crypt() or my preferred: md5() function.. I simply do some lovely maths like for each char of pword I loop through them and append them onto the entire pword string plus the length, get the md5 of that.. then md5 that md5 with the md5 of the previous result and then do some maths, pick some specified characters (like every 3rd or whatever you wish) .. strrev( reverse the string) md5 that again, all md5'ed again.. :) haha, you get the idea.. SO basically you'll end up with a nice 32 char string which is QUITE safe to pass around and the chance anyone's gonna decrypt it IMHO is about zilch, buckley's, zut, nil, null, zero.. And all you have to do, is when they login once, just run the password they entered through this "algorithm" and check it against the stored algo'd password.. Ah yes that's the next thing.. the DB passwords will also have to be proc. using your algorithm.. So it's kinda like a key security idea.. you are not meant to decrypt md5 hashes.. instead recreate it using what you are supplied and then compare both hashes.. Simple :P Ok hope that helps ::::::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A.

Hey..
yeah I might..
I don't know if I am right or just blabbering crap
but try to add these param's to your regex statement..
preg_split("/\0/i", $buffer);
note the i.. It should let it read past newlines.. although you're prob is
with null (\0) chars..
as I said.. Don't know if I am on the right track.. but it's worth a go eh??

Re: [PHP] Auto refresh when data changed in Mysql
You could use Headers to tell the browser to expire the page "now"..
header ("Expires: Mon, 1 Jan 1990 05:00:00 GMT");// Date in the past
header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// always modified

header ("Pragma: no-cache");
something like that should do it..

[PHP] Apache: SERVER_NAME gone?
Hi Y'all... Ok. I just got Apache 1.3.xx and I have PHP4.1.1 and MySQL 3.23.47 on WinXP Pro... I am currently using IIS5.1 with PHP4 and MySQL but I'd like to move across to Apache.. Catch is? I have hunted through all the FAQ's for Apache and there is no mention of how-to configure Apache to actually execute PHP's... So I went into the PHP doc's and there is a small mention.. So I finally get the php's to run.. BUT.. when I call $SERVER_NAME in my php's like I always have.. The variable seems to no longer exist... what gives?? Thanks all.. I am sure it's just a name change or something that Apache uses.. Or maybe I have to register the PHP global var's somehow through Apache?? don't really know.. Anyway thanks a heap in a advance because I'd really love to start delving into this great subdomaining/.htaccess world :) Thanks again..

[PHP] Attachments
I have read briefly through past topics..

Re: [PHP] SQL Warning
Hey...
Ok Firs Mike.. Yes I have been "fixing" some of her scripts and saw she used
this too..
Unbelievably I also so this point about the string in the string without
concat op's but incredibly it works..
Now back to reason why it don't work..
Okay Jenny..
Hi again :)
Next..
Do you have anything actually IN your table ({$config["prefix"]}_users) ??
If so does the username in it match {$session["uid"]} ??
If it doesn't and mysql_query returns a error cos a) table don't exist or b)
some other sql error such as column name wrong etc..
Then mysql_fetch_array will cough up error..
This happened when I setup your scripts on my box.. And whenever I setup any
scripts in which I don't yet have any records matching the query so
mysql_fetch_array goes nuts..
Ok.. Hope it helped..

[PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
Sorry double posting.. Yes.. that's right Michael.. Both styles are correct and are parsed exactly the same.. They obviously both are part of the specifications of the PHP interpretor and structure OTHERWISE they wouldn't work would they? :P And yes, it's to do with what is more comfortable for the programmer.. As long as the programmers at the end can read it easily enough that's all that should count.. Considering that: if(exp) statement; Is quite legal in all the languages I stated before then it is quite valid to use it as I see fit.. Hopefully you're not trying to impose on us the standard because standards are simply made for the sake of clarity to the developers.. Not the users... Obviously anyway :P Bye ::: : Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] : A.K.A. The_RadiX : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ABN: 64 235 749 494 : QUT Student :: 04475739 :::
[PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
Hmm sorry all
yes it seems I misread some crucial parts myself..
That whole
if(exp) {
statement
that's a load..
if you want a one-liner conditional statement do:
if(exp) statement;
and that's it.
yes also michael you are right..
I use the:
if(exp) {
blah blah
} else {
blah blah 2
}
concept as well and find it the best
that whole wasting of lines:
if(exp)
{
yabba
}
else
{
yadda
}
is terrible..
Sorry bout that guys.. Didn't really understand the message till I reread
email..

[PHP] Better standards in PHP-coding
I don't know who you are Frank..
But I understand and support you entirely..
I could write my own 1500 word post like you..
But you've covered it all
I always see the { } pair used when there is only one statement, and also
this weird
if(expression)
{
statement
}
else
{
statement 2
}
blocks are VERY weird and hard to understand.
I prefer and use for every lang. Including C++, Object Pascal, java, PHP,
Perl:
if(expression) {
statement block
if(expression2) {
statementblock 2
}
} else {
statement if
}
in a text editor these blocks are easily read and the double spacing (not
tabs) I use makes it REALLY easy to find and track code during debugging..
sometimes I see loops in conditional statements mixed with functions and
this neverending mass of curly braces and I am very confused trying to fix
their code..
SO I try as hard as possible so suggest my method as it makes reading much
easier..
I do understand where you are coming from with your starting { being in
line
with the actual expression it refers to... Hmm yes but as I always indent
for loops, conditional expressions, etc.. anything that needs curly braces
I
will easily see that if the code doesn't return back to the first column
something is wrong
Eg..
if(exp1) {
if(exp2) {
..do that..
} else {

[PHP] Re: globals in functions
Just one thing... Is there an easier way than having to manually place "global" in each function...?? Other than passing by parameter? Like is it possible to actually declare var's in PHP as global? thx.. ::: Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] PHP MySQL Hosting services
wow.. 10-15gb.. where do you get that kinda hosting and for how much?? Here in Aus it'd cost you a packet.. Don't know where abouts in the globe you are though.. Here in AUS my host only gives me 1gb p/m and 50mb space... for AUD$399p/a that's USD$198... bit of a ripoff I think. but unbelievably they're one of the cheapest I have ever seen in AUS and best quality... ::: Julien Bonastre [The-Spectrum.org CEO] A.K.A.

Re: [PHP] Closing curly brackets?
No it's okay lots' of people post general HTML questions in here..
I love studying other people's..code style...
You really need to work on your style I think.. No offence but it's quite
hard to read.. I had to painstakingly (thank God it was fairly small script)
space it all out and set the format all nice so it made sense.
The hardest thing in the world I think is trying to read anothers code :)
anyway after this process I finally saw where the error most possibly is
occuring.. the formatting of my style made it really easy to pick out..
ok.. I have attached it anyway.. so it should retain it's formatting.. make
sure you have wordwrap off if your using some old text editor
I strongly suggest getting a good text editor if your planning on coding a
lot.. I use TextPad 4 and I love it.. It has full code colouring, PLENTY of
features for text-searches and replacement, macros etc... multiple files..
there are so many diff. text editors out there like it, but they are much
better than Notepad once you get the hang on them... trust me :) I used to
use Notepad for around 3-4 years for all my Javascript, Java, Turbopascal,
Perl... e.. terrible really.. hard to read..
anyways
yes I believe you are putting that closing brace in the right spot (as in
the spot you said it "should" work but doesn't due to the parse error) but
you unfortunately that's not where the problem lies.. You somehow have put
one TOO many closing braces further up in your code around this part:
$thisoption="";
}
}
} <== one of these should be taken out
//check if form has been submitted
if($submit){
see how there's 3 closing braces?? try with two and then also put in one
where you thought you were supposed to:
echo "You have $quantity of this item and it's id is $iid";
}
// it seems like the first while statement's closing curly bracket should go
here but if I put it here I get a pars error.
} //<== This is the one you were missing..
} else {
//if the form has not been submitted run the following
?>
hope it helps.. if not please email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] would love
to find out how it goes... what are you making anyway? some kinda virtual
creature/pet game?? sounds fun :)

Fw: [PHP] Image Uploading not taking place
yes.. well from a quick glance the problem lies not in the MAX_FILE_SIZE or
not using the HTTP_POST_FILES
but more in the improper usage of the "copy" function
I saw it briefly and thought.. hmmm never used it.. but's it's param's look
wonky..
so yes I was right after a quick lookup on the function..
therefore point of story:
try this line instead:
copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],
"/img/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], );
and I strongly believe your problem will be fixed...
tell me if not..
good luck..

Re: [PHP] limit posts and have a next page?
Yes I have built many a forums and product listings/search engines like this.. simply make it check using COUNT how many rows there are total.. now let's say your viewing page 1.. so we can see listing 1 - 10 therefore the first offset is 1 so the next set will logically be 11-20 so with this info: 10) echo "Next Page >>"; ?> now as you can see I use $HTTP_GET_VARS["page"] here so this means that the page will add in the GET var by itself as the user browses around the place.. For extra functionality: (code from before plus some new bits) 10) echo "<< Previous Page"; if($item_count-$page>10) echo "Next Page >>"; ?> this simply adds a backward control to the form as well.. from here you can design it as you wish... generally placed in a table on bottom left and right, using this same system you can also expand it to create a numerical fast page index at the bottom with a listing of available pages (1 2 3 4 5 6) as links etc.. endless possibilities.. okay then...
