RE: [PHP] Re:Re: [PHP] help for me about session
Looks like you are mixing JavaScript syntax with PHP, and that doesn't
work since JavaScript runs on the browser machine, and PHP on the server
(document.form.NextCourse.value is a syntax you will find in JavaScript,
not PHP).
Try something like this;
?php
Startsession();
If($_SESSION[NextCourse] == 1) {
do something here on 2nd pass
} else {
do something here on 1st pass
$_SESSION[NextCourse] = 1;
}
?
Make sure sessions are enabled on your server, you can confirm this by
executing php_info();

I believe it should be:

By the way you have your statement, I think you are only
looking for
the 1. You might try the following instead.
if($NextCourse == 1){
do something;
}else{
do something else;
}
?
ok. the key problem is when I click the button to submit.
the value of $NextCourse is not the value of value
of document.form1.NextCourse.value.
just is the pre page's $NextCourse,that's say null;
how can i get document.form1.NextCourse.value?
How are you passing the variable $NextCourse to this script?

RE: [PHP] I need do paging in php, I use ODBC Access
Somebody did paging in php for data origin in ODBC Access? I need an algorithm for doing this, please Help me! I assume by paging you are referring to a scrolling algorithm that allows you to view only a small portion of your query result set. The algorithm that comes to mind is dependent on the database that ODBC is connected to. If the database is MySQL, the query that would allow do this is the SQL LIMIT clause, where executing and re-executing the query will return only a portion of the sequence set produced by the query; $query = SELECT .$columnlist . from my_table where col1 = \sold\ order by order_date .LIMIT .sprintf(%01d,$rowno)., 10 ; If $rowno = 0 the query will return the first 10 rows If you add 10 to $rowno and re-execute the query, it will return the second set of 10 rows And so on. I have used ODBC to access Microsoft SQL Server and DB2 Databases, and I believe neither support the SQL LIMIT clause, although I am not as certain about my memory of MSS as DB2. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. The only approach left that I could come up with is to transfer the entire sequence set to your application, and count the rows, perhaps only displaying the rows you want to show. This is obviously not very efficient (in fact, with enough rows it may prove impossible because of memory limitations), but it will produce what appears to be a paged result.

RE: [PHP] Are sessions unreliable?
I have had similar things happen but in every case it turned out to be a program bug in my code. It was usually something I looked at over and over and I saw the way it was supposed to work, but because I missed a detail it was not working that way. I would suggest you find someone to look over your code and help you with the debug process. I found many bugs just trying to explain to someone clearly how it worked. I suppose it could be a browser problem, but you need to solve those as well, or at least handle them gracefully. Do you make it a practice of having multiple browser instances open at the same time. I believe they will each normally get their own session key, and if you get your hands crossed, you will be looking at the symptoms in the wrong browser, bottom line, test, test, and test, then get a second set of eyes to look at your code, show them how it works, they don't need to really know a lot about PHP, or even programming for that matter, they will ask questions that as you try to answer them, you will find your problems. I have never found a legitimate bug in PHP Sessions, I have on the other hand found I was inconsistently using session handler routines, and before register globals was turned off, I was finding form variables that clobbered my session variables (or maybe it was the other way).

RE: [PHP] Amazon/eBay API
There is a PHPNuke (web portal application) module that will allow you to open an Amazon Store on your website. NukeAmazon http://www.PrecioGasolina.com/ I'm still looking for an eBay feed, I think the barrier there is that I heard eBay charges some big bucks to be able to access the interface. Amazon on the other hand recognized the power of having a proliferation of front-ends promoting and selling their products and provides access pretty much for free (there are features you can pay extra for if you are inclined). Don't know if eBay will ever come along. Apple, even today, doesn't recognize that IBM gained it's dominance by giving away its bios listing and hardware specs (and some of its business) in the very beginning, while apple looked at that type of move as giving away income it was intitled to receive and jealously guarded it's monopoly, even sueing vendors in some cases. eBay probably feels they already have a monopoly on auction sites and don't need to give their stuff away.

RE: [PHP] Printing
That is because Windoz, for all it's faults, provides a bit of an interface for applications to exercise some control over printed output, and even attempts to make it device independent. Don't know if Gnome, or other GUI's provide something, but if you write the output intended for a printer to a physical file and then post that file to your print spooler using a exec() function that should do the trick. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php I suspect you would use the unix command to cause the file to be spooled to the printer as you would manually (I seem to recall an lpr command being involved, but don't trust my memory). This carries with it all the caviates about whether or not you know who your website visitors are, and what happens when multiple users try to trigger printing (who loads paper in the printer?). Another potential snag is, will you website user (usually nobody) have permission to print (execute the lpr command)? Unless gnome or kde is involved, don't know how you could detect your printer types, since your program will need to know which pcl (printer control language) is required.

PHP General,
The Situation:
I'm retrieving some email addresses from a database. I want to be
able assemble all the addresses into one string that I can use in the
mail() command. At no time should there ever be more than about 5 email
addresses collected from the database. I want all addresses to appear in
the To: field so everyone receiving the email will know who else has a
copy.
The Problem:
I can't quite figure out how to take the results of the
mysql_query() and assemble them into a string. In my experiments so far,
I either get a mysql_data_seek(): Offset 0 is invalid for MySQL result
index error, or my mail function sends to a blank address.
What I've Tried So Far:
My own code is obviously flawed in syntax in logic, so I searched
the manual and this list's archives under the terms array,
concatenate, convert, append and string in various combinations.
However, while I learned some interesting tips on a variety of topics, I
suspect I'm missing some essential description that will lead me to the
command I need.
The Question:
How do I take the contents of an array and turn them into a single
string?
For Reference:
Here is the code I have. I know it's flawed, but hopefully it will
give an indication of what I'm trying to achieve:
--code--
$tantoQuery = SELECT forum_members.emailAddress AS email FROM
forum_members, event_tanto WHERE forum_members.ID_MEMBER =
event_tanto.tanto AND event_tanto.event =' . $show . ';

RE: [PHP] Re: mediator between PHP and Perl (with sessions)
Eli, Sessions work just fine with CLI (Command Line Interpreter), although there is little need for them as a CLI script, since once started the script does not wait on user clicks of a browser for it's next set of input, therefore no need to use sessions for passing information. Most CLI scripts are started via a cron process, and if started from a webpage, the items passed to the script can be passed via command line parameters, or if passed as session variables, the session key needs to be passed to the CLI script, since CLI scripts don't have access to cookies. One advantage of using session variables when starting a CLI script, is that the session may be able to pass bigger values than can be contained in a command line. (Command line variables can be accessed in the argc/argv array like in c) and once passed this way the sessions are no longer needed since your CLI script will run to completion. If your server is a NIX box, you may have access to the character after the command name that will cause it to run as a separate shell script, but you will need to set the timeout to allow it to run long enough, and if you do not use the separate shell character, the script will be interruptible by the user who started it by clicking a button like stop on his browser. The unserialize function is indeed used for sessions, but with most newer releases of PHP register variables is turned off, which means the variables are not restored automatically (you will find them in the $_SESSION array). Sections of the manual you may want to reread are as follows; http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php (good illustrations of what happens in sessions) http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php (notice the notes on register variables). http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php to allow script to run longer. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php for starting a cli script (don't forget to start php). hope this helps, Warren Vail -Original Message- From: Eli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 7:07 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: mediator between PHP and Perl (with sessions) It's quite easy to pass the session variables to the script.

RE: [PHP] getting a number range from user input.. (weight)
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I had a long commute tonight.
Suppose you load an array in high weight order (from the zone that applies).
weight value
.5 9.45
1.0 10.71
1.5 11.97
2.0 13.23
load them into an array where like so;
select weight, zone$zn, from postage_costs
// looping thru returned rows, load an array ;
$zonearray[] = array($weight, $value);
// then performing lookups;
unset($postage);
foreach($zonearray as $entry) {
list($wght, $val) = $entry;
if($wght = $actualpkgweight) {
$postage = $val;
break;
}
}
if(isset($postage)) // here you have the minimum postage to cover the
package.
else // here you have a package that weighs more than your largest
weight
You can probably figure ways to streamline this, but I think it may answer
your basic question. The best solution is one that works for you reliably,
and there have to be at least 50 ways to do this. This is just one.
good luck,

I have a fixed range of weights from .5 to 20.0 Kg (kilogram) and for

Because for each of the item below:
weight value
.59.45
1.0 10.71
1.5 11.97
2.0 13.23
I must get the exact value, so let say for example. I have 1.3 it
should fall under 1.5 the idea i had was to do this, so i can detect
where the number should fall..
Put the weight ranges in a MySQL table and use the BETWEEN operator to
retrieve the appropriate weight.
Something like:
fromweight, toweight, value
0,0.5,9.45
0.501,1.0,10.71
1.001,1.5,11.97
Then, the following SQL statement will pull the appropriate value:
SELECT value FROM weights WHERE 1.3 BETWEEN fromweight AND toweight

RE: [PHP] getting a number range from user input.. (weight)
You can probably figure ways to streamline this, but I think it may answer your basic question. The best solution is one that works for you reliably, and there have to be at least 50 ways to do this. This is just one. Hmm. Personally I would have thought the best way to do this is to get the db server to perform as much of the selection work as possible, thus the suggestion of using a BETWEEN operation in a WHERE clause of an SQL statement. In theory perhaps, the better approach kind of depends on if he is looking up the cost of one shipment or many. Databases, like you indicated, are optimized for looking up this kind of information from large record sets on a hard drive and a good database will try to cache as much of their last result as possible for use in the next query, but once cache cannot be used, performance drops dramatically. For one lookup on an single order, the direct DB approach probably would produce faster results, but I doubt the user would be able to see the performance difference on one order (can you see a savings of 200 milliseconds), and for processing multiple shipments, avoiding multiple db lookups would produce faster results. I did forget to include an order by weight clause in the query which would be required for my solution (and would add an overhead), and probably not required for the DB solution, hopefully he figured that out. Bottom line the real best solution is the one that works for him, that he understands and can change if needed. He probably would have a tough time measuring things that could cause the DB approach to suddenly not be able to use cached contents, like DB server load from other applications, etc., and if he is processing multiple shipments factors outside his control, like other apps, could impact his applications performance.

RE: [PHP] Is there any way of knowing User Currently Logged On?
If it throws out garbage, you should be able to execute the who command on
the remote system, which should show users that are currently signed on to a
Unix or Linux system and if you do it all in the perl script, you can format
the output to look pretty much the same (in case you haven't figured it out
the @users_list is an array, very similar to PHP arrays actually [IMHO]).
If you modified the perl script to detect the garbage, it could simply do a
telnet connection and execute the who command. There are probably ways
that use privileged commands similar to the one used for your windows
solution on remote Linux Unix, but I don't know them, and I'm not sure it's
a good idea to use them in a PHP script, but you can get opinions the other
way as well. If all your machines are behind the same firewall, away from
the internet, the risk could be less if you have a good firewall. For your
telnet connection from perl look for the net:telnet perl module at
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/ , if you know PHP you will find
perl quite easy I think.
Good luck.

RE: [PHP] Help needed Postgresql and PHP
Extracting name and addresses from postgres as a comma separated values CSV file should be doable with postgress utilities or scripts. Assuming you have access to a word processor like Microsoft Word, that has a Mail Merge capability, where your letter can be merged and printed with names and addresses from your CSV file. Factors affecting the wisdom of this approach are; * The volume of letters you expect to print and the printers you expect to use (bubble jet ink cartridges are expensive). * If name and address are the only substitutions in the letter. Greetings, additional content may require more that a CSV solution. * Special bulk mail requirements like zip code sort and selections should be doable in postgres. * For really large volumes you will need to break down the workload for multiple printers in a fashion that makes sense. If you want to reinvent the wheel by developing your own mail merge process, I would recommend against it, unless there is some significant gain by doing that. I'm guessing that your have already considered this, but are looking for some other solution for some reason that is not apparent to me.

I have a suggestion that would allow you to take charge of what is going on with your sessions. Install your own session handler routines, storing your own session data in your own database table. These functions would need to be loaded on each page before you execute the session_start() function on each page. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php Since the Garbage Cleanup and session read function is now under your control, you can establish the session expiration that is appropriate for your application, independent from the PHP default for the site. Be careful, however for the parameters that control the life of the cookie in the browser, they can also cause the session to be lost if not set properly. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php This may sometimes seem intermittent, since the cookie will expire from the time first established in the browser, and if you are only aware of the time from the last page, and the cookie goes away, the session will appear to have been destroyed. good luck, Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Jason Barnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: PHP Sessions Question On garbage collection, it happens sometimes within seconds and sometimes within minutes.

PHP relies on a server side interpreter that normally runs under an apache web server and you reference those files by having your browser fetch those files through a URL that maps to your PHP files, beginning with something like http://hostname.com/program.php. If you opened the files directly with your browser, you have bypassed the apache server and PHP interpreter, which of course, would not allow the PHP code to actually be executed.

RE: [PHP] Installing PHP on 2nd Windows Drive
There is only one port 80 (the port used by your browser by default to connect to apache), choose a different port for the second instance, and you should be ok, but all url's will have to have a non-standard port number. Same is true for MySQL (different port number, but same conflict). Configure your 2nd MySQL to listen to a different port, and make sure that all your PHP code connects to MySQL using the different (non-standard) port number. I'm guessing two things; 1) if there are other common dependencies, like system registry (there is only one per machine) you will run into those and 2) other configuration dependencies (like things that need to be on the C: drive) will pop up (like php.ini?). My recommendation would be to get a 2nd cheap machine, and network them. My experience at doing this tells me machines are less expensive than the headaches you are going to have with conflicts.

I am looking for a comparison of features supported by PHP vs those supported by Perl.

RE: [PHP] Calling PHP functions from within javascript
I suspect you need to be careful how you use the term call. It is possible for javascript, which runs on the client side or in the browser, to cause the browser to perform a form submit, and if the action field of the form points to a php script on a server server side, then the php code will execute on the server, processing the form content on the server and sending new results in the form of html and javascript back to the browser client side. That may have appeared to you as a call but most PHP developers would not use that term. Two items you may not have control of yet, is that in this case the PHP always runs on the server machine, and javascript always runs on the browser machine, and the only way they can both execute on the same machine, is if the server and browser are both on the same machine. The PHP will always run in the memory space of the server, and the javascript runs in the memory space of the browser. The only exceptions to the last statement is when the PHP runs from the command line, at which time it is not communicating to a browser (often referred to as a CGI, even though it isn't) and the only time, I believe, that javascript can execute on a server is using an old product, that I have only heard of but never used, referred to as server side javascript. hope this helps, Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Nitin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:52 PM To: Jake McHenry; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Calling PHP functions from within javascript First thing is, it's possible, i've done it in the past myself, it's just not working due to some reason.

Don't know if this will help, but I worked on one implementation that involved writing a daemon (we used perl, but php would work as well) which runs as a user privileged script (started from cron), and waits for a connection from my web app, and verifies that the request is coming from the proper server and script, executes the ssh, and returns the controlled result to the web app. We also used this daemon to fork some processes and create multi-threaded collection process (but that's another nut). In my case the apache web server tasks ran as a user named nobody, which had no system privileges at all, a common safeguard, on RH Linux.

RE: [PHP] Mailing List
Allowing scripts to run without some kind of time limit may not be prudent, but settling for the timelimit imposed on online web pages is not reasonable either. I would recommend you reset the time limit to something reasonable to perform your email tasks on the computer you have available. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-time-limit.php As long as you don't have a run away program, I can't think of any reason not to allow it to have the time it needs to get the job done.

RE: [PHP] Reading URL is changed
What Dan says is true,,, IF there are other form fields on the form where your user is making his choices. Since the hotlink fakes a Get type of header, and does NOT cause the other fields be submitted as well, any last minute changes to those formfields will be ignored by your form processing routine. On the other hand, if the click is the only value to be transfer the hotlink technique should be adequate.

RE: [PHP] Controlling browser windows with php?
Since PHP executes server side and not in the browser, you may want to resort to something that runs in the browser, like Javascript, which PHP can output as part of the html it feeds to the browser. check out http://www.hotscripts.com/ for lots of handy examples of how Javascript opens an additional window on the browser, note that the URL for the new window can point to another PHP (server side) script to fill it with information.

RE: [PHP] Writing to files
Not sure I understand how you concluded that web server should not create files, it certainly should not be able to create files on client machines without permission of user (which it cannot do). Users should not be able to upload files to the server without the permission of the web application, but if a web application performs the upload and controls where the file goes and what is in the file, that would be safe. If the web application completely controls where temporary files go and what goes in them (variables) then how is that unsafe? On the subject of using the database, check out which environment variables that actually control session management (you can do this by running the phpinfo() function. There are two major configuration options which you have full control over; 1. If the sys admin controls the default configuration of where to write the session data (usually points to /tmp directory), then the session_set_save_handler function is your way to override those parameters. 2. In fact if you read the routine that performs garbage collection (deletes expired session data) session management will pass to that routine the parameter that controls the default lifetime from the sysadmin's setup data, which you as the writer of the routine are free to ignore and use your own. Only caveat is you need to include these routines in every page that records data to a session (no big deal). I wish you luck on this, you seem to have been advised on some rules, by people who didn't know what they were talking about, or perhaps you understood their recommendations out of context, and that makes it hard for you. I really think session management is the way to resolve your problem. It would be interesting for you to get a couple of opinions on the subject of creating files on a server. You could create routines that would write to physical files in these save_handler functions and put them in your user directory if you like, but I would not mix these files in the same directory as your application code, perhaps a sub directory. I would be willing to bet there are log files that are updated on your server every time someone accesses one of your web pages.

RE: [PHP] Talkback or community type participation.....
Deron,
By doing a Post to itself, this form will cause an error everytime someone
clicks the Back button on the browser (after the first post, of course).
What I do is have two forms, first invoked with a get via hot link or
redirect.
Form_1.php checks to see if variable $s has been passed (in the URL, of
course), if not it initializes and displays the form. The Form action on
this displayed form indicates to Post to Form_2.php.
Form_2.php displays nothing, just processes variables on the form. This one
would insert the row, and to avoid thread problems (multiple simultaneous
inserts, from multiple users) has a unique autoincrement variable as the
primary key to the table (MySQL will make the insert thread safe). When
the insert is successful this routine redirects the browser back to form_1
like so;
Header(Location: Form_1.php?s=$insertid);
Exit;
When control is passed to Form_1.php again, this time the variable $s is set
and the row is retrieved from the table (instead of using initialization
values) and displayed in the form giving confirmation of the updates that
were done.
Because Form_2 redirects to Form_1, Form_1 is the only one on the browser
history list(each separate instance is tracked, of course), and it is always
entered via a Get, meaning that the browser does include the passed variable
values in the history list (it doesn't do this with a Post). And the Back
button works. In the Post error you are working toward, the browser
complains that it does not have a record of the Post variable values (the
Data Has Expired).
There may be other ways to deal with this, but this is one way that I have
found that works.
Good Luck,
Warren Vail

wondering if there was a better way to do this or not. Everything works
great so far except for a couple little things. Once the $submit is clicked
and runs the INSERT data into the table... I am looking to be able to have
the page auto refresh and display the new entry as well as the form again.
Here's my current code: (I have this built into the main review page via an
include. The entire page can be viewed here:
http://www.metalages.com/2002/reviews/reviews-test.php?band=Evergreyalbum=I
n%20Search%20of%20Truth
Feel free to post a dummy message, nothing is live yet, all in test mode :)
you'll notice once the entry is submitted also, if you try to refresh the
page it wants to readd the data again. any help or guidance appreciated, I
am a self professed still learning this stuff! kinda guy.
?php
if ($submit) {
// Process Form
$DBconn = mysql_connect(localhost, user, pass);
mysql_select_db(databasename, $DBconn);
if (!$DBconn) {
echo( pUnable to connect to the .
database server at this time./p );
exit();
}
$sql = INSERT INTO talkback (band_id, album_id,
talkback_name,talkback_email,talkback_comments) VALUES
('$currentid[0]','$currentid[1]','$talkback_name','$talkback_email','$talkba
ck_comments');
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo Thank you! Information entered.\n;
} else {
// display form
?
form method=post action=?php echo $PHP_SELF . ?band=$band .

RE: [PHP] Re: Empty form variables when uploading, Help please???
Interesting because I have used multiple submit buttons on forms for years.
Each can have a different name, and even if I use the same name for all of
them, which I often do, each can have a separate value. Each will cause all
other form fields to transmit their variables in their usual manner, but
obviously I will only receive one submit button( the one that was clicked).
If all are named go with different values (what displays on the button),
all I have to do is;
Switch($go) {
Case Add: something; break;
Case Update: something, break;
Case Delete: something else, break;
}

File: [PHP] Re Empty form variables when uploading, Help please.txt
In a form you can't really have 2 submit buttons.
Either a submit submits or it is just a button.
That's because the var name is already submit (check out your
http_post_vars).
And you have it twice!
Change one of them and make it just a button (HTML4).
Recheck your post-vars.
This should help.
Otherwise you're loosing your post vars somehwere in the fire-wall.
That's bad!

Hi everybody,
I hope someone is able to help me with this, I've been having this problem
for a couple of months now and I have not been able to find a solution. I
have a form to upload a file which submits to itself, and has two submit
buttons, one called eliminarfoto (deletephoto) and salvar (savephoto),
but for some weird and unexplainable reason (it only happens to some users,
not all of them) when they hit any of these two submit buttons, the form
returns empty variables.
This is part of my script, has anybody had a similar problem before??? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [PHP] Dissapearing Session Variables (long post)
Jason,
I had a similar problem using a php session table in MySQL to store session
data, turns out my data item was too small to contain all my registered
session variables, I changed the definition of the data column to TEXT and
that seemed to do it. I also found that I needed to run addslashes() before
updating the column and stripslashes() retrieving it (turns out some of my
variables contained characters that MySQL was sensitive to, and others that
caused serialize/unserialize problems).
Not sure this is your problem, but it's worth checking.

Subject:[PHP] Dissapearing Session Variables (long post)
Hello! I'm trying to figure out why my session variables keep hiding
Background:
On my site, I have a login box, which allows you to login. This login box
works as expected. It authenticates the provided credentials against my
database, and then sets some pre-registered session variables to values
pulled from the DB. What I am experiencing, is that my session variables
will be defined, and then lose their values when the first link is followed.
I've placed a reference to $PHPSESSID into the title of the page, and note
that the $PHPSESSID remains constant. Is there something in my code that is
causing this? Is there a way that I can rewrite my code to help avoid this?
Here is my index.php, other relevent code to follow:
?
include(include/user.conf);
if (!$theme) { $theme = default; };
include(include/core_functions.php);
if ($AuthAction) {
switch($AuthAction) {
case login:
include(include/db.conf);
$sql = SELECT uid,username,password,first,last,acl FROM users
WHERE username='$username' AND password=PASSWORD('$password');
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ('Unable to execute SQL
Query.');
$dberror=mysql_error();
$dbnum=mysql_errno();
if ($dberror) {
$AuthErr = $dberror;
} else {
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if ($num !=0) {
$sess_uid = mysql_result($result,0,uid);
$sess_acl = mysql_result($result,0,acl);
$sess_fname = mysql_result($result,0,first);
$sess_lname = mysql_result($result,0,last);
$sess_uname = mysql_result($result,0,username);
$sess_auth = 1;
} else
$AuthErr = FONT SIZE=-1 COLOR=REDLogin Incorrect!/FONT;
};
};
break;
case logout:
break;
}
};
if (!$action) { $action = tba; };
if (!$title) { $title = $PHPSESSID; };
if (!$headline) { $headline = H2An E-Haven for Displaced
NorthpointersH2; };
include(Themes/.$theme./.$theme..theme);
?
Here is user.conf:
?php
if (!$PHPSESSID) {
$sess_uid = ;
$sess_acl = ;
$sess_fname = ;
$sess_lname = ;
$sess_uname = ;
$sess_auth = ;
session_register('sess_uid');
session_register('sess_acl');
session_register('sess_fname');
session_register('sess_lname');
session_register('sess_uname');
session_register('sess_auth');
};
?
Shouldn't this work? I reference the session variables within functions,
but that shouldn't effect anything. I always make sure to call global for
each variable before I use itany ideas?
Thanks in advance!

RE: [PHP] Problem: Sybase, PHP and multiple result sets
I appreciate the clearer, more detailed description. Unfortunately, I
probably cannot help as much with this one. If it were my problem, I would
try finding and downloading the source for the Sybase modules, then look for
someone to contact in the notes. I would also exhaust any contacts I have
with Sybase, mostly because much of the original code for the interface
modules probably came from them originally (derived from their old C
interface modules).
Another approach would be to try to unload the source for the Stored
Procedure, and try to split up the queries (I believe the results you are
seeing are produced by a UNION, but I'm not certain). Sybase can compile
its query procedures on the fly, with only slightly longer run times, or you
could create a new procedure from what you find and store that one.
Good Luck,
Warren Vail

No, you seem to have missed my point entirely. So I'll explain in a
little more detail.
I run a stored procedure. Let's assume I run it from the interactive
utility and not from PHP for the moment.
SP_SOMETHING_OR_OTHER PARAM1 PARAM2 PARAM3
The database returns:
foo bar
=== ===
1020
3040
field1 field2 field3
== == ==
string bla 15
nothing bla 12
As you can see, it returns TWO result sets. One with two numeric
columns. The next with three columns, the first two string and the
last numeric.
This is, of course, just an example.
Now back to the web interface.
If I use PHP, I get only the first result set. That is, I write
something along the lines of:
$rs = sybase_query( SP_SOMETHING_OR_OTHER PARAM1 PARAM2 PARAM3,
$conn );
while ( $row = sybase_fetch_row( $rs ) ) {
echo $row[0]; // and so on
}
This will only display the results of the first result set - the one
with the two fields, foo and bar.
There is no way for me to reach the second table generated by the
query. This is supposed to be the significant table.
Now, in ASP, there is something like
set rs = rs.NextResultSet
Which sets the rs to the second result set, the one with the three
fields of mixed types, at which point you loop, just like above, and
retrieve the new information. This method or an equivalent of it is
not in the PHP documented set of Sybase functions.
I hope I made myself clearer. And by the way, you don't have to sell
me on the uselessness of ASP, the general uselessness of Microsoft
etc. - I don't use any Microsoft products, even at work.

RE: [PHP] Problem: Sybase, PHP and multiple result sets
The ability to select a set from a previously selected set is possible in Sybase because the database supports creation of temporary tables and the select insert. PHP (which is often packaged with MySQL) does not attempt to mix database (SQL) with it's own scripting language (unless someone is working on this). ASP on the other hand will sell you anything that consumes resources thereby encouraging you to buy the bigger software, requiring bigger hardware (An old IBM marketing plan, and my personal opinion). When you talk about a result set in PHP you must be referring to what is returned by MySQL, not PHP. Perhaps someday MySQL will have temp tables and SELECT INSERT capability. On the other had PHP does a very nice job of looping thru the result set.

Now, in ASP (sorry...), there are calls that allow retrieving the next result set from the current result set. So in effect the result sets are a linked list and you can access all of them. In PHP, however, the result set returned is the first one, and I don't see any method for retrieving the next result set. Does anybody know of such a method? Does anybody have a suggestion for workaround? Basically, in most of these cases, the important result set is actually the last one, not the first, as the intermediate result sets are mostly temporary results.

RE: [PHP] Re: storing array in mysql
I never seem to be lucky enough to be sure of the type of data stored in a
php array, since php handles mixtures of types so forgivingly, and because
most of my data comes from forms, with users key in what they like,
including double and single quotes, parentheses (and especially commas, how
do you prevent breaking up your array and putting it back together with a
different row count because someone keyed in a comma?), etc. I would think
you would have to go to a lot of trouble to make sure that an array contains
only numeric data, or only strings that did not contain problem causing
characters.
You are right about more space being required for serialize, I often have to
resort to TEXT data types to provide enough space in the column for data
(65k runs out fast), and that is a bit slower as well.

Yes true, you can use serialize.
But since you know the format of your $array variable (which is simply
holding one data type) you can safely use split() and join()
better and smaller when stored in that field because they are comma
seperated.

You'll probably get as many approaches as replies. How about the following;
after you have connected to mysql and selected the database;
$query = SELECT * FROM table;
$result = mysql_query ($query)
or die (Query b$query/b failed. The error message was
.mysql_error ());
// The following wipes out any trace of a memory table in the working $table
element
$table = '';
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_row ($result)) {
$table[] = $rows[0];// add the row to a working table
}
mysql_free_result($result) // always do this as soon as you can
$top = sizeof($table);
$halfway = ceil($top/2);// round up if odd
$col2 = $halfway;
echo TABLE;
for($col1 = 0; $col1 $halfway; $col1++) {
echo TRTD$table[$col1]/TD;

RE: [PHP] Code check please
Andreas,
I'm not sure about code that appears to be missing like an execute query
function or checking the number of affected rows to make sure that the
insert worked, but clearly your insert code is not properly formed. The
query could also be impacted by whether the columns are defined with special
attributes like DATE, etc. Assuming that all columns are defined as
character strings the query should look like;
$sql = INSERT INTO tabell (fornamn, efternamn, email) .
VALUES(\$fornamn\, \$efternamn\, \$email\);
I've found that I often have problems trying to use single quotes in sql
queries so I avoid them. I notice that you also included a semi-colon in
the query text, while this works when piping a file of queries into the
mysql command, it does not work from a program. The semi-colon in a command
stream into the mysql command actually signifies a point to stop and execute
the preceding text as a query and after executing that query, continue on
from the next character.
hope you got it working,
Warren Vail

RE: [PHP] Code check please
It just occurred to me that one thing that will kill a query is special
query characters imbedded in your strings, like quotes (single or double).
This can be resolved by the
$resultstring = addslashes($sourcestring);
this should escape special characters normally used to signal key components
to the mysql query processor.
of course when you select the column you need to run it thru;
$resultstring = stripslashes($dbcolumnvalue);
to get back your original value.
good luck,

RE: [PHP] Saving to a file
Rosen,
Depends on where you want to save the file.
To get the manual http://www.php.net/docs.php.
To Save to a file on the machine running the browser;
make a form that outputs absolutely nothing except;
header(Content-Type: application/octet-stream);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.txt);
while(list($key,$val) = each($prod)) { // the echo below sends the file
contents
$id = $val[0]; // data was loaded to array $prod as follows;
$nm = $val[1]; // $prod[] = array($productNo, $productDescr);
echo($id,$nm\r\n);// use \r\n if going to windows browser \n if going to
unix
}
To Save a file to the server machine hosting your website;
use normal fopen, fputs, etc (see the manual)
good luck,

RE: [PHP] session_register()
Jennifer,
I could be wrong but this is what I think you have;
When the session_register is executed the session contents are partially
updated.
Your first test actually executed the session_register that posted the
variable with 0 string length, because the variable had not yet been
initialized (the bad return is the only indication of this).
Your test that the variable is registered would seem to suggest this.
You then changed the variable value and failed to register this new value.
The second page found the only value you registered (the uninitialized
variable with zero length) and displayed that.
You can identify what actually happened by viewing the session file contents
after your two pages are displayed.
hope this helps,
Warren Vail

Not in my experience.

It returns 1.
The variable name and it's value should be written to the file
with the same name as session_id()?
Yes, here's a sample from a session file: superUser|s:3:Yes;
Here's a sample session filename: sess_01bc2e24aa5291300887948f0af74899

}
else {
echo testing is not a registered variablebr\n;
}
$testing = Let's see if this works.;
?
a href=page2.php??=SID?Go to next page./a
The output of the above page, gives me
session id is e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
session_register did not work
testing is a registered variable
Go to next page.
and page2.php contains
?php
session_start();
echo session id is .session_id().br\n;
echo Testing: $testingbr\n;
?
The output of page2 gives me
session id is e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
Testing:
I am totally confused. First off, why isn't it registering the
variable? There is a file named e35c2893382e28a14fa0455302edb06e
in my /tmp directory, but it is empty.
Second, if it isn't registering the variable then why is
session_is_registered(testing) returning true?
