[PHP] RTFM code snippet
hey folks, hope the new year is treating everyone well.
i was RTFMing yesterday and ran across this piece of code
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
which is similar to stuff i've done
while ($file = readdir($dir)) {
so, what am i not catching with my code, and what is really going on in the
RTFM code with the "false !==" part?
thanks y'all,
mike

this tells me that $myresult is not a valid mysql result resource

if i understand what you are asking, you might try something like
if (is_file($include. ".inc")) {
include($include. ".inc");
} else {
include(custom_error.inc);
}
you may need to execute is_file($include. ".inc") inside a loop so that it
checks in all your inlude_directories.
foreach($dirs as $dir) {
if (is_file($dir.'/'.$include. ".inc")) {
blahblahblah
}
otherwise, if you know 'all' the valid files, you could create an array of
filenames and compare $include to elements of the array.

Re: [PHP] Php.ini file missing
hi michael, to create the directory and file, you'll need to run the terminal application. from there, type sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib to create the necessary directory. you should get prompted for a password. type your own password. you need to do this from an administrator account. the first account created during the install process is an administrator account. are you sure you don't have a copy of php.ini on your system? try locate php.ini from the terminal window. if there is one, you can copy it to the /usr/local/lib directory. sudo cp php.ini /usr/local/lib/ if you don't have one, you can download the distribution from php.net and copy php.ini-dist from there to /usr/local/lib and rename it sudo mv php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini anyone know a better way to just get php.ini? a couple great sites for macosx http://www.stepwise.com http://macosxhints.com hope this helps, mike on 1/13/02 6:03 PM, Michael Sciascia at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > I am new to this list and also to php and I am sorry to already bother you > with a question you might find really stupid, but I looked around for this > information several days now and I couldn't find some good resources. > > I installed php 4.1.0 on Mac OS X 10.1.2 and everything seems to work well, > also with mySQL and Apache. > > I am learning php from a book for beginners full of explanations and > scripts, so in the last days I wrote some scripts which make possible to > send e-mails filling a form on the browser.

aha! see, i didn't understand the whole picture. so, let me see if i can create another question. suppose if (($a_good = ($a == 'a')) && ($b_good = ($b == 'b'))) blahblahblah(); are you saying, that $b_good should always have the result of ($b == 'b') even if $a != 'a'? that's not what my test shows (hi bogdan :) so, is there something other than && that forces the other half to be evaluated? interesting... mike on 8/23/01 5:19 PM, TD - Sales International Holland B.V. at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On Wednesday 16 January 2002 16:18, you wrote: > > I think the cause is, which is lacking in the reply below, that if you have > like > if ((function1(val, val)) && (function2(val, val)) blabla(); > > you still want function2 to be executed because it does things necessary for > your script, however, if one of them returns false you don't want blabla() to > be executed.

Re: [PHP] help installing php
hi juni, although i totally agree with the folks who recommended you compile php from source, maybe it's time you sat down :) compiling apache, mysql and php from source can tax even the greatest patience the first time it is tried. hopefully, here's a couple things to think about. create a directory where you store _all_ your source for everything you compile. lots of folks use /usr/src and i'll assume that here. now, download all the source tarballs you need into that directory and expand them all in there. this should create subdirectories for everything. ie, /usr/src/apache_1.3.22 /usr/src/php-4.1.0 /usr/src/mysql-3.23.40 it's possible that you may need other packages. only you will now what is used on your machine. do you use snmp with php? gd? do y'all also use perl with apache? you'll want to read the documentation that comes with _each_ package you are compiling. especially apache. they know about php. there is lots of good info in there. there are also many sites out there with tutorials on getting these all to compile together. you'll need to decide if you want to compile php as a static or dynamic module. static seems to compile easier for some folks, but dynamic means in the future you only need to recompile php to upgrade it (as opposed to recompiling everything like you are about to do :) the first time you do this, it could take hours just getting it all squared away, and that doesn't necessarily include compile time. after that, it should only take you a few minutes each time. to answer the specific question about apache source, if we assume the directories above, then you would use "../apache_1.3.22". i recommend writing down everything it took to get it all working so you have it for next time. the configure string might look something like ./configure \ --enable-track-vars \ --with-mysql=/usr/local \ --with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.22 \ --enable-trans-sid \ --with-snmp \ --with-ftp \ --with-gd depending on what all you need from php. hope this all helps, mike on 1/18/02 12:09 PM, Juni Adi at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Ok, I'm now in the middle of installing it from > source code.

you really want to read the rfc for this. i think it is 821. google for
'smtp rfc' and you should be able to find it.
here is a function i wrote when i was first learning php, and i'm sure it

not sure if this is it or not, but from the manual

Re: [PHP] mail function fails
hmmm...
i just copied your code and changed the email address to mine and it
worked. $message was set to 'blah'.
this tells me you either have a problem with your email address or
$message.
why don't you echo $message along with "Email NOT sent!".
mail messages are particular about their syntax.

you'll want to take a look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
you can start a session by starting it or by registering a variable.
session_start()
session_register("variablename")
once set, the variables are available as $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["variablename"]
or (depending on how php is configured) $variablename.
on my macos x box, $variablename does work.

php does have constants which are _always_ global.
define ("SCRIPT_NAME", $passed_in_script);
then you refer to it like
my_function() {
printf("script is %s",SCRIPT_NAME);
}
notice there are no quotes or '$' or anything.
i've recently changed $DEBUG to DEBUG for things like
define("DEBUG", 1);
my_db_function() {
$rid = $db->query($query);
if (!DB::isError) {
do_something_cool();
} else {
if (DEBUG) printf("\n",$rid->getMessage())
}

does the first test directory already exist? you may need to make them in
two steps. i believe mkidir has a switch to force it to create any needed

there are a couple of things going on here. first, when you ftp to the
server, you are probably logging on as yourself. php is probably running as
whatever user the webserver is running as. those are most likely two
different users.
one option you have is to ftp the file as the same user the webserver runs
as. this may not really be a viable option.
another option is to create a group on the server, and put your user and the
webserver user both in that group.
when you ftp the file, you will need to make sure it is group writeable. you
can do this from the command line on the server, or from interarchy as well.
in interarchy, after you have uploaded the file, select the file and choose
"Set Permissions..." from the Listing diresctory. then make sure the box for
group write is checked.

Re: [PHP] Re: issues with __sleep() and __wakeup()
cool. you and i were talking about two different things. you are using
__sleep and __wakeup by issuing the serialize and unserialize commands
yourself. i am using __sleep and __wakeup when php automatically issues
them itself when using sessions.
it is my experience that if you have an object and you register that object
as a session variable, and you do _not_ have a __sleep function, then
everything works fine. this is different from having a __sleep function and
not returning anything (or the wrong thing)
