You can also use

$page = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

Re: [PHP] odbc_pconnect doesnt reuse connection

2002-04-03 Thread eric.coleman

I have an IDEA

If your familiar with OOP

Write a class that is like a "WRAPPER" to the ODBC functions.

Then, you can connect once, and keep the connection
ALL this using just odbc_connect

This is what I have done, and if you would like, I can write a quick one.

Re: [PHP] return

2002-03-31 Thread eric.coleman

But to answer your question

The purpose of return, is to "return" a value..

function test($var)
{
 return addslashes($var);
}

$foo = "Yes, I'am Very Awsome";
$foo = test($foo);
echo($foo);
// echo's, Yes I\'am Very Awsome

Understand?

[PHP] Non-Cache in forms?

2002-03-24 Thread eric.coleman

Alright,

When I submit a form, and shoot out an error, such as "Please fill in email address" 
and then send them back to the form, the form seems to be blank...

Why?  What is happening that the form isn't keeping the previously posted data?

My error function looks like so

function crapout($msg, $hidden_msg = FASE) {
echo($msg);
if($hidden_msg != "FALSE") {
echo('');
}
exit;
}

Thanks,
Eric Coleman
