the logic behind this particular one doesn't work... if it's either not one,
or not the other... it'll always be true... unless both are set to exactly
the same...
the logic if($action=="a1" || $action == "a3" ) should work find tho, coz
it's checking to see if either is true...
check what $action is actually set to by doing a print just before your if
statement, and then stick two print's inside the if... true and false, in
the respective place...
hope this helps...

[PHP] magical file writing truncation
so i'm writing to a file, but it's truncating part of the content, but not as i'd expect... see the code below, it writes to the file fine, and everything should be there, no errors. the problem occurs when it gets to writing . for some reason, it's truncating the content. but i'm not sure why, or how? if i change the way i treat the $text before i put it into the file, it'll truncate more/less. no idea why, or what it depends on to truncate this stuff. i tried playing with wordwrap also as maybe it didn't like sticking more than xxx characters per line, but this made no difference. i'm writing a file that is over 5000 characters long. the file writing seems to be fine with short lengths. like i said, the code works fine, and the print $newContents prints out exactly what it should write. however when it gets to writing (2 lines later) it's truncated the $text portion of the $newContents, but it shouldn't even have any recognition of their being any difference? surely? i'm hoping that i'm missing something simple with variables passing by reference or what-not, but i can't find anything to suggest it in the manual. i'm not passing by reference as far as i know, but this is the only way i can think of what the problem can be. FYI: i'm using urlencode as certain characters are causing problems with the XML structure of my files, and this seems to solve it nicely. help??? much appreciated... -skate- code $newFile = "xml/".$type."/".$now.".xml"; while(file_exists($newFile)) $newFile = "xml/".$type."/".$now++.".xml"; $text = $_POST['text']; $text = urlencode(stripslashes(nl2br($text))); $newContent = "\n"; $newContent .= "\n"; $newContent .= "\t\n"; $newContent .= "\t\n"; $newContent .= "]>\n"; $newContent .= "\n"; $newContent .= "\t".urlencode($_POST['title'])."\n"; $newContent .= "\t".$now."\n"; $newContent .= "\t".$text."\n"; $newContent .= ""; print $newContent; touch($newFile); $fp = fopen($newFile, "wb"); fwrite( $fp, $newContent ); fclose( $fp ); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I didn't see anything right off of the bat. You may want to output the text both ways and then compare them using http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php apart from the fact that the slashes are there in one, and not in the other, there is no difference... $fp = fopen($newFile, "wb"); $bytes = fwrite( $fp, $text ); print $bytes." written"; fclose( $fp ); ... tells me that 5287 bytes were written, and my file shows the full text... $fp = fopen($newFile, "wb"); $bytes = fwrite( $fp, $newContent ); print " - ".$bytes." written"; fclose( $fp ); ... tells me that 5520 bytes were written, but opening the file shows that half the text is missing... the number of bytes wrtten seems to be correct. if i run a strlen() against each string, then i get the same length as bytes, so that sounds about right... but the files just aren't right. everything would point to the fact that everything is happening correctly... but it just isn't... i really can't get my head around this one at all. could it possibly be a windows issue??? i know windows can be an arse in dealing with files, but i can't see how it could pick up on a variable inside PHP and truncate it? obviously there's no simple solution here... can anyone point me in the way of an alternative way of doing this? i could try the file write in 3 stages, first part of content, text, end of content, as they seem to write fine seperatly. arse... thanks loads for your help so far tho jay... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

sorry, i'm probably not the best person to give a full working example. my
code works for me, but it's a little sloppy. check the php manual. look-up
associative arrays.
lets see if i can't give you a quick example tho...
"
for( $c=0; $c<4; $c++ ) //4 coz there's 4 key fields
{
//print the id's
print "";
print "ID";
for( $i=0; $i<$n; $i++ )
print "".$content[id][$i]."";
print "";
//print the titles
print "";
print "TITLE";
for( $i=0; $i<$n; $i++ )
print "".$content[title][$i]."";
print "";
//print the text
print "";
print "TEXT";
for( $i=0; $i<$n; $i++ )
print "".$content[text][$i]."";
print "";
//print the date
print "";
print "DATE";
for( $i=0; $i<$n; $i++ )
print "".$content[date][$i]."";
print "";
}
print "";
?>
like i said, this isn't the most glamorous way of doing it, and you really
should look this all up in the manual before trying it out. but if you run
this code (and you have a db to back it up) you should get a table with the
format i think your after...

Can someone please tell me how i change the following code:
if (!ereg("^[0-9]{5,5}(\-[0-9]{4,4})?$",$postcode))
to a UK postcode QQ1 1QQ
When i fill out the form it tells me that the postcode is not valid and i
think it is because it is in zip code format.
Thank you
Andy

Re: [PHP] Php.ini doesn't exit
you can set _some_ directives directly in php check the manual for the set ini options, can't remember the exact function... php will work without an .ini file, but will have all defaults set. again, check thru the manual to see what the defaults are. - Original Message - From: "Javier Carreras" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 11:01 AM Subject: [PHP] Php.ini doesn't exit > Hi all, > > Where does PHP get its settings if php.ini file doesn't exist? > > BTW- I want to enable sockets that are not enabled.

Re: [PHP] Newbie
could this not also be solved by switching register_globals as on? reading through the error, it looks like that's what it's complaining about. there is security risks to turning this on, which is probably why it doesn't suggest doing it, but depends how secure you need your site to be? and also how much you want to check the security and patch it up if necessary? - Original Message - From: "Burhan Khalid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ilyas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Newbie > Ilyas wrote: > > Hi all > > > > I downloaded the oscommerce online shop.

Re: [PHP] Array Question
look into things like JOIN and SORT BY in MySQL, they're quicker and more efficient than PHP for doing DB stuff (so i'm told) took me awhile to get my head around JOIN, but once you've got it, you'll never be without it ;) "Mark McCulligh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I have two tables that I want to display together as if they were one table > and order them by a common date field. > > Because I am using MySQL I can't use the usually way I would do this.

Re: [PHP] Passing data between the web to an Intranet
as another solution (and not knowing mysql replication myself, so can't comment on this) you could connect remotely to your MySQL database that is on your intranet, and dump the data straight into it. it really depends how open to the world that system is, or can be, and how security concious you are. or you could have some kinda XML output or DB dump from the online website available, and have your local CRM machine access that every 5 minutes or less... just 2 other solutions, maybe not the best, but they'd do the job... - Original Message - From: "Jason Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Passing data between the web to an Intranet > On Wednesday 26 March 2003 16:40, Steve Jackson wrote: > > > Sorry.

Re: [PHP] connecting to mysql db
leaving the connection open creates security questions, and also leaves resources
open, what if a user closes his browser window, how do you know to close the
connection?
if you really want to make it simple, you can edit your php.ini to have the username
and password as default in there, but again, this can be a security risk.
i'm afraid the best way is to include connection code on every page...

Re: [PHP] substr() on part an ereg() capture
couldn't you just do substr( $blah, 0, 55)
or something similar?
