  Thank you, Daniel.

  Inserting a call to debug_print_traceback() (with a terminating
semi-colon) at the top of the ErrorHandler404() function produces no visible
output (and nothing in the application directory or in ~/). Will someone
suggest either how I properly use debug_print_traceback() or otherwise learn
what's failing as I try to invoke the application and transferring control
to the error handler?

  There has to be something either in the index.php, or a function it's
calling, that cannot find the opening display. I need to learn what's
happening so I can get this application running here.

[PHP] Debugging Help Needed

2011-04-12 Thread Rich Shepard

  I'm not a PHP coder, but I have an application written in PHP (CMS Made
Simple) that stopped working when I upgraded postgres to 9.x. I seem to have
most of the problems fixed (those with adodb_lite) but now need to track
down why I get a 404 Page Not Found error when I try to invoke the local
application. BTW, I'm running php-5.2.17 on Slackware-13.1.

  Running 'php index.php' from the application subdirectory to the document
root directory, I learn the code to search in the directory structure. It
turns out to be misc.functions.php, and the specific function in that file
is ErrorHandler404(). However, I have not been able to trace execution to
learn just where this function is being called.

  Looking at the PHP manual I see there's a function called
debug_print_backtrace(), but I have not found how to properly use it. When I
insert it at the top of ErrorHandler404(), php throws an error when I try to
run index.php:

function ErrorHandler404()
{
  debug_print_backtrace()
#if ($errno == E_USER_WARNING) {
@ob_end_clean();
header(HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found);
header(Status: 404 Not Found);
echo '!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN
htmlhead
title404 Not Found/title
/headbody

produces:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '@' in
/var/www/htdocs/cmsms/lib/misc.functions.php on line 223

  How can I determine where ErrorHandler404() is being called so I can fix
the problem and get the application running again?

  Oops! Too long since C and Python doesn't use semicolons.

  Adding that, I remove the error but do not see the printed backtrace.
Please suggest how I can determine the source of the page not found error,

[PHP] System log in problems

Hi All

Let me start by saying I am not 100% sure this
is the correct board to post this to. I hope it is
because as i have watched this list it contains
some very helpful people.

I have search for an answer to this and cannot
seem to find it.  We have a subscription based
site that is developed mainly with php and mysql.
We have one person who each time he attempts
to log in it just rolls back to the login page. With
almost 2000 users this is the only time we have
come across this problem. He is not running your
average system at his home the details are.

Operating system is Ubuntu 7.04 released in April 2007
 also using Firefox Version 2.0.03
Mozilla/5.0 (x11; U; Linusi686; en-US;rv:1.8.13) Gecko/200611201
Firefox/ 2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-feisty)


I can login using firefox and ie no problem but am running a
more common windows system. Is there something on our
end that could be causing this problem for him?

Thanks in advance

 I am trying to run a php script via cron. Problem is, that it

 Currently it looks like:

 Most likeley because the webserver root for the project is:
 /home/www/project/

 So if I go into this dir and execute:

 it workes. But not with the full path. What do I have to enter
 into crontab? It
 obviosly does not work with the full path, but how to change into

It is probably because the cron daemon cannot find the php binary in its

RE: [PHP] JavaScript Enabled?

2004-03-29 Thread Rich Gray
 Can anyone suggest a suitable means for detecting if a client browser
 has JavaScript enabled or not?

 I know this isn't exactly PHP related, but I need to make sure my PHP
 script offers an alternative in a friendly way and not a JS error, but
 I just wondered if there was a foolproof method of doing this?

Er ... how do you generate a JS error with a JS disabled browser?

I don't think there is a 100% reliable way of detecting server side whether
a client browser has disabled javascript. However what you could do is to
use a script/script block to spit out javascript enabled code using
document.write() which will be ignored by disabled clients and then use
noscript/noscript tags to enclose whatever stuff is necessary for the
disabled clients?

Just a thought

RE: [PHP] Alternatives to Flush()

2004-03-24 Thread Rich Gray
 I do have a database and have considered using it in conjunction with
 cron.  However, I don't like the disconnected nature of the solution.
 There could be up to a minute delay before cron picks up the request.

 There's got to be another method similar to using flush(), that causes
 the lengthy processing to immediately start as well as redirecting the
 visitor to another page.

Hi Ron

Well if it is really critical that the batch job runs within seconds of
being requested by the web process then you have several alternatives apart
from using database/cron ... here's a few examples with various levels of
simplicity of implementation...

. Kick off a cli script to run the batch job using exec() or similar..
. Implement a web service using XML-RPC or SOAP - i.e. call an API on the
XML-RPC/SOAP server and let it do its stuff...
. Have a custom background script listening on a socket - send a request to
that socket from your web page...
. IPC through shared memory...
. probably loads more...

Here's some quick comments..

. You need enctype=multipart/form-data on your form for file uploads
. Watch out for max file size being exceeded -- check the php manual on
'Handling file uploads'
. If register_globals is off on your server you'd better start looking at
using the $_FILES superglobal (check the manual)
. use move_uploaded_file(...) rather than copy(...)

RE: [PHP] PHP's MySQL Query Length Limit? (Long SQL failing!)

 I have a script that accepts large files (images) and inserts them into

 all getting the image into a string and running addslashes() on it.
 Then I go and use it with a mysql query. This is something I've coded
 dozens of times, but now there's a twist. The files are bigger than
 I've ever worked with. In theory, I didn't think there would be a
 problem, but there is. When I try in insert a file of about 800K or
 larger (9-10 MB is as large as I ever try to insert) the insert fails.
 The query is written correctly AKAIK, but no data reaches the table I'm
 writing to.

I'd hazard a guess that it is probably your MySQL server settings that are
cause of the problem - in particular check the max_allowed_packet_size (?? -

[PHP] Persisting MySQL connection accross scripts

2003-11-01 Thread rich
How can I establish a connection with a MySQL database and have it persist
accross multiple script files?

I've found the mysql_pconnect() function but this doesn't seem to do the job
- which is fairly logical actually because the connection is stored in a
variable:

$connect = mysql_pconnect();

and that variable $connection won't be available in another script.

I would have thought there would be a straightforward answer to this as it
seems that its someting which must be done fairly regularly.

The only workaround I can think of is sending the username, password and
database name to every script.  But how would you do this securely?

When establishing the initial connection I got the username and password
from a form which used the method=POST method.

But if I want to have a link to a script, say 'add_item.php', how can I do
it securely?

a href=add_item.php?username=? echo($_POST['username']): ?password=?
echo($_POST['password']): ?.../a

would not use the POST method.

I could use forms for every link but this seems ridiculously
over-complicated!

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

[PHP] Using two XSLT stylesheets

I have the data encoded as XML and am writing the queries

The generates a result tree which needs to be proceesed by
the second.  But I can't find a way of doing this. I've tried:

xslt_process($xh, 'library.xml', 'simple-search-get-results.xsl',
 -- 'results.xml', NULL, $params);

$data = xslt_process($xh, 'results.xml',
 -- 'simple-search-display-results.xsl', NULL, NULL, NULL);

and:

 -- NULL, NULL, $params);

$data = xslt_process($xh, $results, 'simple-search-display-results.xsl',
 -- NULL, NULL, NULL);

neither of which work at all.

Any ideas?

[PHP] Shouldn't script errors show in my browser?

2003-10-17 Thread Rich Fox
I hope this question is not too stupid! When I have an error in my script,
it seems to me that the web server, or in my case the php CGI module I am
using for testing, should send something back to my browser displaying an
error message. Instead, I can write any garbage I would like in my php
script and the browser just shows me a blank page. Is this because I am
running php as a CGI module?

Thanks,

Rich

 Try cranking your error reporting level up in php.ini

 http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php#ini.error-reporting

 Check the display_errors directive while you're at it. Don't forget to
 restart the webserver.

 Also, sometimes errors don't show because they're embedded in HTML.

 Eg

 font face=? echo($fake_variable); ?

 would return

 font face=br /bNotice/b:  Undefined variable:  fake_variable in
 bfile.php/b on line b1/bbr /

 And you'll have to examine the un-parsed HTML to find the error.

[PHP] Re: Use include function (newbie)

2003-10-17 Thread Rich Fox
But *why* does logic.php need html.php?

There is no recursion issue, or endless nesting of includes, because
html.php refers to logic.php as an action for a form... this does not
include the logic.php code into the html.php page.

 I make a site where I list data from a mysql database. I want to divide
the
 task into 2 parts. The 1. php is the logic.php an the 2. is the html table

 I plan that the form action in the html.php file call the logic.php but
the
 logic.php includes the html.php.

 I mean:
 html.php
 form action=logic.php
 ...

 logic.php

 include('html.php');

 On the html.php user can view data and use last, first, next,... buttons
to
 see the whole table.

 Question:
 Is it a right way to do this task or this reqursive calls overloads the

[PHP] Nested queries don't work

2003-10-15 Thread Rich Fox
I have the following code querying MS SQL Server

$query = SELECT * FROM mytable;
$res = mssql_query($query);
$nr = mssql_num_rows($res);
for ($i=0; $i$nr; $i++)
{
$a = mssql_fetch_array($res);
$query = SELECT * FROM anothertable WHERE id=.$a['anotherID'];
$res1 = mssql_query($query);
$anr = mssql_num_rows($res1);
...
}

This does NOT work! It seems that the 2nd query steps on the results of the
first one! Can someone verify this effect? I am 99.999% sure this is what's
happening. Who is the bonehead responsible for not implementing this for MS
SQL Server?

[PHP] Reloading a specific window

2003-10-02 Thread Rich Fox
Warning for server side purists: My php scripts use javascript to popup and
close windows. So this question, although posted to a php newsgroup, has
elements of javascript too. Gasp! No flames please.

I have a main window which I will refer to as mainwindow
(window.name='mainwindow' in the onload event). The script loaded into it is
mainListing.php. From mainListing.php I popup another window, with a form
and a save button. The form's action is action.php

In action.php I update the database and then would like to: (1) refresh
mainwindow so it reflects the database changes, and (2) close the popup
window.

I have been reading, tweaking, trying different things but nothing is
working. Currently, the action script does:
...
elseif (isset($_POST['btnSave']))
{
   .. update the database, then ...
header(Location: .$_POST['CallingScript'].?ID=.$_POST['ID']);
exit;
}
...

This reloads the popup window, and then I have a close button to close the
popup. Then I have to refresh the browser window manually to see the updated
table from the database. Can I get some advice on how to accomplish (1) and
(2) above?

Many thanks,

Rich

Re: [PHP] Reloading a specific window

2003-10-02 Thread Rich Fox
This does not work, when I replace my header function with:
elseif (isset($_POST['btnSave']))
{
.. database update, then...
$ostr =  OUTPUT;
 script language=javascript
  document.window.opener.reload()
  self.parent.close();
 /script
OUTPUT;
 echo $ostr;
 //header(Location: .$_POST['CallingScript'].?ID=.$_POST['ID']);
 exit;
}

several things happen: the database update does not happen, the mainwindow
does not reload, and my form disappears from the popup frame and this frame
is blank.
I am probably doing something very stupid.

[PHP] for loop break and continue

2003-09-25 Thread Rich Fox
Hi,
Is there an equivalent to the C++ 'break' command to stop execution of a for
loop? I know I can use 'goto' but I don't want to unless I have to.

for ($i=0; $i$n; $i++)
if (some condition)
break;

And, what about 'continue' which skips the rest of the code in the for loop
and immediately goes on to the next iteration?

Thanks,

[PHP] using a php variable in javascript

I have a page with the following code:

[PHP] Opening new browser window

2003-09-19 Thread Rich Fox
I would like to open a new browser window from within my php script
(edit.php), a window in which another php page is run (search.php).
search.php should be able to receive $_POST vars etc. from edit.php. I am
not sure that the javascript solution to popup a window is correct, because
then the popup does not behave normally.

By normally, I mean that when I use javascript to popup a new window
(search.php), and in search.php I have a form

form action=searchAction.php method=post
 input type=hidden name=caller   value=window.opener.location.href
 input type=hidden name=ID   value=? $_GET['ID'] ? 
 input type=hidden name=Type   value=? $type? 
 input type=button name=btnOKvalue=OK
 input type=button name=btnCancel   value=Cancel
/form

clicking OK or Cancel does absolutely nothing. So, I would like to avoid
javascript and simply open a new browser window to run search.php. What is
the accepted way to do this in php?

have been done a zillion times by other web programmers already.

I have a php page (edit.php) with a form with some text fields and a select
menu (select1). I want users to be able to add entries to the select1 menu,
and would like to use a popup window to do this. In the popup window, the
user is presented with a form with a select menu of all possible entries.
The user can make multiple selections from this list in the popup, and when
the popup's form is submitted, I want the select1 menu in edit.php to
reflect these additional entries selected from the popup.

Those are the requirements. Should be easy, but I am finding it very
difficult to tie the pieces together.

Any advice or url of a relevant tutorial would be greatly appreciated.

 The soluction to your problem was resolved from the first reply (by

Yes, however I was simply asking Chris to explain to me more as it didn't
make sense to me (because I hadn't read the manual fully). I mistakenly
expected the $_SESSION array to hold copies of assigned data not references
to the global namespace variable ... my expectations were based on PHP's
current default behaviour of pass by copy rather than by reference.

It seems with globals on it can become a minefield eg below where a script
happens to define and use a variable with the same name as an entry in the
$_SESSION array...

?
// script_a.php - developed by dev A
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'dev A saves some data';
header('Location : script_b.php');

?
// script_b.php - developed by dev B
session_start();
$test = 'I am another variable in the global scope that happens to have the

[PHP] Returning FORM vars from popup

I have a popup window, itemSelect.php, from which I would like to reload the

easily enough, with this test code in itemSelect.php:

 input type=button value=Close
onClick=window.opener.location.reload();window.close()
/form

Not surprisingly, this doesn't work. My calling page reloads and the popup
closes, but the onClick code bypasses the form and newparam doesn't get
passed. What, please, is a good way to  accomplish passing newparam (and

Thanks, but no I don't think so ... session_register() is deprecated ...

Quote PHP manual:

Caution:
If you want your script to work regardless of register_globals, you need to
instead use the $_SESSION array as $_SESSION entries are automatically
registered. If your script uses session_register(), it will not work in
environments where the PHP directive register_globals is disabled.

 Nope, but $test is a GLOBAL variable, and therefore would be set to -1
 within $_SESSION as all GLOBALS are, as you pointed out earlier,
 registerd with $_SESSION. If $test is within a function it is a PRIVATE
 variable, local to the function only, unless declared as a GLOBAL.

[PHP] Session data getting lost

2003-09-16 Thread Rich Gray
Hi

I'm running v4.2.3 on RedHat v7.0 and am getting some strange behaviour with
the $_SESSION superglobal... below is a script to demonstrate the problem...
Whenever the $_SESSION array gets re-created by session_start() the reloaded
test entry is set to -1 however at no time does this value ever get assigned
to the $_SESSION array ... it seems to be picking up the initialised value
of the variable that gets assigned to the array...

It works fine on Win2K albeit v4.3.0 of PHP.

Anybody come across this before?
Cheers
Rich



?php
session_start();
$test = -1;

echo 'htmlbodyInitial script load ... $_SESSION value is
'.(isset($_SESSION['test']) ? $_SESSION['test'].' it should be 999...' :
'not set yet').'br /';

$test = 999;

$_SESSION['test'] = $test;
?
form action=? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ? method=post
input type=submit name=but value=do it
/form
?
echo 'br /After the assignment $test is '.$test.' and the $_SESSION value
is '.$_SESSION['test'].'br /';
?
/body
/html

The output from the 'initial script load' line is shown below ...

Initial script load ... $_SESSION value is not set yet (first time only)
Initial script load ... $_SESSION value is -1it should be 999... (all
subsequent submits)

RE: [PHP] file

2003-03-28 Thread Rich Gray
 hi all!

 i have a simple program to open and write a file.
 but the file is not getting created.
 can anyone please spot the mistake?
 giving the code below.

 thanks a lot,
 diksha.

 ?php
 echohi?how are u doing??;
 $fp = fopen (sandrew.html, w);
 string=htmlheadtitlehi/title/headbodyi am

 fine/body/html;
 $contents=fwrite($fp,string);
 echo '$contents';
 fclose($fp);
 ?

Hi Diksha
Some comments...

. Your string variable needs to be defined and referenced as $string not
just string  - unless this is a typo in your post
. fwrite() returns an int - you are assigning this int to $contents - what
exactly are you expecting $contents to be set to?
. Does your user or web server process have the permissions to create files
in the directory?
. What does readfile('sandrew.html'); after your fclose($fp) return?

 Whats wrong

$mydate should be a unix style timestamp not  a MMDDHHMMSS type
date/time format...
Check the functions time() and mktime() to help you generate unix

RE: [PHP] Microsoft SQL Server varchar(500) field text concatenated at 255 characters.

2003-03-28 Thread Rich Gray
 Hi There.

 I am using PHP 4.3.0 on WIN32 to query data from a Microsoft SQL Server.
 One field I am requesting is type VARCHAR size 500. For some reason, PHP
 is returning only the first 255 characters of the text from that field.

 If I change the field type to TEXT, all of the data in that field
 is returned.

 Unfortunately, an ASP application is also using that database,
 and when I change
 the field type to TEXT, it pukes completely.
 I would rather try to resolve the issue in PHP than waste my time
 looking at ASP code.

 Has anyone got an idea why this might be hapenning?

 Many thanks.

 Scott

Hi Scott

I believe this is a problem because of the relatively old TDS libraries used
by native access methods...

Possible workarounds are...

. cast the data to TEXT before returning it
. use ODBC which doesn't have this problem IIRC

RE: [PHP] Persistent values between executions

2003-03-10 Thread Rich Gray

 I have some sets of values that I have stored in several tables in a mySQL
 database.  These don't often change, but are referenced on every
 single page
 view.  While each call is quick, as a gross the load on the server is too
 high.  I would like to know if there is a way to have these sets of values
 remain persistent in the server's memory between calls from browsers, like
 environment variables, to reduce the back and forth calls to
 mySQL.  As the
 data from the calls are almost always the same, it would seem easier this
 way.

 Any thoughts?  Comments?  RTFM suggestions?

 Mike

Use a 404 handler to build static html pages from the database. To refresh
the content just delete the static content - this could be done
automatically at predetermined intervals using cron or similar.

 Hi all,

 I am using PEAR DB to get my results as an ASSOC ARRAY. How do I echo

I presume you mean area_name...

Try this - SELECT a.area_name as area_a, b.area_name as area_b FROM tbl_1
x, tbl_2 a, tbl_2 b
Then you can refer to the columns as $array['area_a'] and $array['area_b']

RE: [PHP] Uploading file problem

2003-03-06 Thread Rich Gray
 I'm very new to PHP, so I hope no one is offended by reading my very basic
 questions.

 I have created a web form that saves some data to a database and uploads
 three files, copies them to a new directory, and renames them.  From my
 work machine and home machine, it works great for me - there are never any
 errors.  When my boss tries it, two of the files work fine, but the other
 fails at the copy.  I have watched him do it, and it's not user error.
 What could the problem be?  I'm stumped!

 I can include code or links if needed.

 Thanks,
 Amanda

From what you say above I'd check the permissions on the 3rd target
directory to check if it allows writes by the web server process. Are all 3
files going into the same directory? Is the server *nix or Windows?

Your php.ini still has the default /tmp session save path which is OK on
Unix but squawks on Win32. So you will need to reset the directive
session.save_path to c:\temp or any other valid scratch directory on your
windows machine you will probably also need to bounce IIS as well to
pick up the new settings if your running as an ISAPI module

The second and third errors are a knock-on effect of the 1st problem so fix
the bad session temp directory and they will probably disappear.

RE: [PHP] quick echo output

 Ok most all programs I see they use ?php echo $somevar; ?
 within the html.
 Now I have always used the shortened version ?=$somevar? Is
 there a reason
 why I should not use this?  I've never had any problems with this way of
 doing things, but I just don't see anyone else using that format..

I think it's because the '=$blah' syntax relies on short tags ? ... ?...
and short tags can upset XML parsers... as a result short tags aren't
supported by all hosting providers  so your code could break if ported

RE: [PHP] Get variable from PHP before submit

 I'm trying to implement the following functionality into the file 
 test.php:
 
 When I scroll down the page and then hit a button, the page 
 should remember
 the scrolled position, refresh the page and then scroll down to the
 remembered position. I've almost managed to make this work, but 
 only almost.
 
 The first time I click one of the buttons, the page won't scroll, 
 but after
 that it works fine. I think the reason for this is that the function
 hentKoordinat() gets called before $teller is set. hentKoordinat() uses
 $teller.
 
 Anyone know a way to make this work?

RE: [PHP] php.ini

2003-03-01 Thread Rich Gray
 Rich,
 I've checked my php.ini files on my drive and all I've got is one.

 The php_gd2.dll file is in:

 C:/PHP/extensions

 There was no default folder called extensions when I installed
 PHP so I made
 a directory called extensions under PHP.

 Everytime I take out the semicolon in the .ini file, the page
 won't load and
 I've got to shut down Apache server manually.

 If I put the semicolon back in, the page loads fine.

 I don't have a clue.  Somewhere between the .ini file and Apache something
 is very screwed up.

 TR

You said in your earlier post that in your php.ini your extension_dir is set
to C:\PHP\ - this is wrong it should be c:/php/extensions
If the extensions directory was not there and you had to create it manually
then where did you get the php_gd2.dll from?
The extensions sub-directory should be there for a normal installation - did
you install from zip?

RE: [PHP] Random not working?

 Hi All,

 I'm trying to get a random record each time this script runs;
 Only it's giving me everytime the first record back.. No random at all..

 $row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
 echo $row-naamstad;


 Version info;

 PHP 4.3.1
 Mysql 3.23.54

 When i'm trying to excute the SELECT statement in phpmyadmin; i'm
 only getting the first record back and when i'm taking off the
 LIMIT 1 it will display all the records in ascending order so
 also not in random..


 Regards,

 Frank


Frank

This really belongs on the MySQL list but there was a known issue with
RAND() on 3.23.54 - can you upgrade? If your table has an auto_increment ID
column then a workaround would be to use rand() in PHP to generate a random
ID then use that with a 'where id = '.$id in your query...

RE: [PHP] 4.0.6 to 4.3.0

2003-02-07 Thread Rich Gray
[snip]
  
   After upgrading from 4.0.6 to 4.3.0
  
 
  Most probably because with 4.3.0 register_globals is set to OFF
 by default -
  where does $attach get set?
 


 Nope, I do have register_globals on in php.ini

 Its being set in another file like this:
 form enctype=multipart/form-data name-doit action=send_message.php
 method=POST

 input type=file name=attach size=68

 It behaves like, if ($_GET['attach'] != none) or ($attach != none)
 is always true.

 If I attach something it goes through no prob, if I do not attach
 something
 it still goes through but with all the error messages and an
 empty attachment
 at the recieving end. Only thng that has changes was upgrading
 PHP from 4.0.6
 to 4.3.0

Hi Brian

Why are you using $_GET[] when your form is submitting via the 'post'
method? Secondly for file uploads why are you not using the $_FILES[]
superglobal array?

  superglobal array?
 
 I did not write the app, just trying to figure out why it stopped
 working after upgrading PHP. You think that's the problem?

Well try  ...

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['attach']['tmp_name'])) {
// Blah Blah Blah
}

 Ok, I am sure this has been discussed but I have not been keeping up with
 the listserv.  I am using sessions so to test, I blocked all
 cookies and of
 course the sessionid is then in the url.  How can I hide it from the
 url?...or is this even possible?

 Thanks,
 Eddie

If you disable session.use_trans_sid in your php.ini then session id's will
not get passed via the url if cookies are being refused. But then of course
your session support is gone for that particular browser/user.

RE: [PHP] If... Else.. I'm not getting it!

2003-01-25 Thread Rich Gray
You are using the post method not get so $_GET[] should be empty.

Does this version of your code work?

?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$vname=$_POST['vname'];
echo hello $vname;
} else {
?
form action=? echo ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ? method=post
table
trtdInput yourname/tdtdinput type=text name=vname/td/tr
trtd colspan=2input type=submit name=submit/td/tr
/table
/form
?php
}
?

Hi,

Thanks, but i'm a kind of a newbie in PHP and what i've read it's better to
have the register_globals = Off!!! If you look at my code you see that i'm
using the $_GET variable.. This works fine!! It's the IF.. ELSE what gives
me a lot of trouble!

RE: [PHP] Starting sessions, registering variables, destroying sessions with global_variables off....

2003-01-24 Thread Rich Gray
Phil
It should be as easy as ..
?
session_start();
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';
?
You'll need a session_start() on all pages that will be using the
$_SESSION[] array.
Is your session.save_path pointing to a writable directory? Do you see any
errors in the server logs when you try to start a session?

I just switched from a 4.06 server with global_variables ON to a 4.22
with global_variables OFF



Can someone give me a quick run down of how to set/unset variables and
register/destroy sessions with PHP 4.22 (global_variables OFF).



I've been all through the php.net manual and still can't figure it out.



I know that I have to use $_SESSION['foo'] instead of just $foo now, but
for some reason I can't get session_start(); to properly start a
session.



Any ideas??



Thanks!!

There is some discussion as to whether my globals are on or not ... I am
using session_register to name my sessions, and then the global command
later on on the individual pages to remember which session it is we're
looking for.

It would be simply priceless if sessions were broken in 4.1.2 - and make
much sense in the long run.

RE: [PHP] Form Validating Class (OOP misunderstandings...)

PHP does not yet support private methods ... your problem with getValue() is
most probably because register_globals is off in your php.ini try
substituting $_POST[] for $HTTP_POST_VARS[] and it may start to work...

Subject: [PHP] Form Validating Class (OOP misunderstandings...)


Hello everybody,
I'm working on a class but having a lot of problems... probably my
understanding of PhP-OOP is not so good ...
Here's the class: I found it on the web and I've tried to personalize
it to fit my needs...

?php

class FormV
{
var $errorList;

function FormV()
{
$this-reset_errorList();
}

function getValue( $field )
{
$value = $HTTP_POST_VARS[ $field ];
return $value;
}

function isEmpty( $field, $msg )
{
$value = $this-getValue( $field );

if( trim( $value ) ==  )
{
$this-errorList[] = array( field = $field,
value = $value, msg = $msg );
return true;
}
else
return false;

}

function isString( $field, $msg )
{
$value = $this-getValue( $field );

if( is_string( $value ) )
return true;

else
{
$this-errorList[] = array( field = $field,
value = $value, msg = $msg );
return false;
}
}

function isEmail( $field, $msg )
{
$value = $this-getValue( $field );
$pattern =
/^([a-zA-Z0-9])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)+/;

if( preg_match( $pattern, $value ) )
return true;

else
{
$this-errorList[] = array( field = $field,
value = $value, msg = $msg );
return false;
}
}

function isError()
{
if( sizeof( $this-errorList )  0 )
return true;

else
return false;
}

function get_errorList()
{
return $this-errorList;
}

function reset_errorList()
{
$this-errorList = array();
}

function stringConvert( $field )
{
$value = $this-getValue( $field );

$value = html_special_chars( $value );

$value = stripslashes( $value );

$value = strtolower( $value );

return $value;
}

};

?

Ok.
I think that the getter is *totally* wrong but I'm not able to debug
it, because it's private (I think...). Also the stringConvert() method
sucks, maybe I'll split it in some others accessor methods, for a
better design.
Now I'm totally lost, I don't have a clue how to continue, I've tried
for hours and hours to make it work, but didn't succeed :(
Any suggestion on improving and other enhancment for a good form
validating class is really really appreciated.

TIA,
Nicholas

RE: [PHP] setcooke(...) before header(Location: XYZ) - Cookie doesn't set!

2003-01-21 Thread Rich Gray
Mike
IIRC this is a known bug with IIS (not PHP) when it gets the http redirect
it junks the cookie - sorry I can't remember much more detail than that...
Workaround maybe is to spit out an HTML based META refresh redirect tag
instead of using the header() call.

HELP!
I know I'm new at this so please don't laugh.  But I can't get this to work!
I am using Microsoft IIS with the latest PHP installed.
Here's a smple:

.
.
.
setcookie(testCookie, testValue, time() + 3600, /);
header(Location: http://newpage.php;);
exit;


Later, I pull the cookie:

echo $_COOKIE[testCookie];

and there is no value.  If I don't use the header function at the end, and
write something to the page, it works fine.
Why does this cookie not get set?

Thanks a ton!

Subject: [PHP] PHP and MySQL queries


Hi,

I am having a real problem with variables in PHP and trying to query my
MySQL database. I have a form that a user inputs information and then that
info is used to query my database, but it's not working. I don't get any
errorrs and it appears every thing worked, but nothing gets displayed (see
code below). I know the info is getting passed from the form as it appears
correct in the address bar of my browser. The query below also works if I
use the command line in MySQL and hard code the information.

Any help is appreciated.

http://etc/etc?FromTrade=TRUEname=1from=2

$query = select tmanager.idn, tmanager.total, troster.idp, user, position,
points from troster join treference
join tmanager where tmanager.idn=treference.idn and
treference.idp=troster.idp and tmanager.name like '$name' and
troster.player like '$from';

$results = mysql_query($query) or die(Query failed);

while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

 echo $line[idn];
 echo $line[total];
 echo $line[idp];
 echo $line[position];
 echo $line[points];

This just displays an empty page. So it appears the query found nothing, but
like I said, it works from the command line and there should be one entry
(see below). So I have to assume it is a problem with the variables.

+-++-++--++
| idn | total  | idp | user | position | points |
+-++-++--++
|   1 | 746.75 |   2 | Trevor  | F|  45.00 |
+-++-++--++
