I say, "I dunno". :-) It seems to follow C's printf(3) conversion
specification. If a decimal point is needed for a float, it must also
have a digit in front of the decimal point. This is kind of annoying if
I want to print decimal-only values without preceding zeroes. Maybe
money_format() is a better solution.
: BTW, what's the 1 used for?
Specifies the minimum character width of the conversion. See PHP's
sprintf() docs for more details.

Hi, Eugene,
If I get rid of the 0 and tried this:
$price=.65;
$f_price=sprintf("%1.2f",$price);
It displays "0.65" in my Mozilla browser correctly. What do you say then?
BTW, what's the 1 used for?
cheers,

RE: [PHP] Newbie Question regarding Syntax
I would encourage you to use double quotes instead of single quotes inside the PHP code. After this, you must comment HTML double quotes so the PHP engine does not consider these as part of its code. I would type your example like this: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">".$row_rep_RS['repEmail'].""; ?> Note how the only concatenated string (using periods) is the variable $row_rep_RS[] and the double quotes inside the HTML link were commented using a backslash.

[PHP] newbie question
I just setup php on my linux box and have been messing with a tutorial,
and have had some issues.
The tutorial says any name=value pairs in the querystring "automatically
creates a variable with the name and value the querystring indicated".
This does not seem to be happening.
I have installed:
RedHat 9.0
Mysql 4.0.13
PHP 4.3.2
I have connected to databases, displayed info from database but cannot
get data from the form into the database.
I have also not been able to get $PHP_SELF* to display anything.
Here is a sample code I have been using:
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
mysql_select_db("mydb",$db);
// display individual record
if ($id) {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees WHERE id=$id",$db);
$myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
printf("First name: %s\n", $myrow["first"]);
printf("Last name: %s\n", $myrow["last"]);
printf("Address: %s\n", $myrow["address"]);
printf("Position: %s\n", $myrow["position"]);
} else {
// show employee list
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employees",$db);
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// display list if there are records to display
do {
printf("%s %s\n", $PHP_SELF,
$myrow["id"], $myrow["first"], $myrow["last"]);
} while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
} else {
// no records to display

}

RE: [PHP] Newbie Question
you have 2 functions named DBField. This was ok until 4.3. After 4.3 you
couldn't re-declare a function like this.
PHP does not allow for overloading like Java and C++ (It looks like that's
what you are trying to do)
Check the docs for overloading. There is some support for it but it's a bit
of a kludge. (IMHO, etc.)

Re: [PHP] PHP Newbie question
Steps: 1. Install PHP. Already installed? 2. make a file accessible via browser and call it test.php 3. put this into it: "; phpinfo(); ?> 4. Now, access that file. If you see "Hello World" outputted followed by a long blue-gray table with lots of server data - means everything worked and you could go to the sites like PHP Beginner (www.phpbeginner.com) or many others to read some tutorials and still code to keep testing. If you get asked to download a .php file then make sure you installed your PHP with Apache right (requires some editing of httpd.conf, read the manual) Cheers, -- Maxim Maletsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bryan Cassidy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote... : > This might sound stupid but what the hell.

[PHP] newbie question: need a script
hi all, I got a html page, on which I put a form, with quit a lot of questions (all kinds: textboxes, dropdowns, check, radiobuttons, ...). Its for an online survey Im doing. Now Im looking for a php script that puts all the data in a textfile, the moment someone clicks on Submit. It should write all data (also the values of the radiobuttons and stuff) in one line in a textfile, the fields seperated by ; eg. If there is a field left blank, there should also be a blank field in the txtfile. (reason: i want to be able to import it in some other programs). The next time someone fills in the form, id like the script to open the file again and simply add a line, with the answers of this next person. Ive been looking everywhere, but didnt find nething that was of much use; mainly there are a lot of scritps out there to mail the results to an emailadress, but I want it in a txtfile. I dont know how to write php, so perhaps someone could help me by telling me where to find it... (Cant even read php, so configuration should be very easy and clear) Thanks a lot Tharkis -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] newbie question
This is very simple
To access variables from GET form, which you would use request.querystring( ) for in
ASP,
use the $_GET array in PHP, e.g. $var = $_GET{'var'}
To access POST form values, which you would use request.form( ) for in ASP, use the
$_POST
array in PHP e.g. $var = $_POST{'var'}.
Cheers!

RE: [PHP] newbie question
It depends on the version of PHP, in older versions you just use the
variable name ie in your example just use $var to access it's contents. In
new versions, with register globals turned off use $_GET['var'] to access it
ie:
Print $_GET['var']
Will print numberx

As mentioned a couple of times on that include page, you can just use ini_set() directly in your application to set include_path. eg. That will run through each directory listed in your include path.

Re: [PHP] Newbie question about UNIX command-line directives
I wasn't clear before. The problem I'm having, and most of the others folks who commented, with include is really with "include_path". A good bit of the problem seems to be my virtual host's environment. Most things I've tried with directives in an htaccess don't work and the error log says "not allowed" etc. I appreciate your help.

Re: [PHP] Newbie question about UNIX command-line directives
What does include have to do with DirectoryIndex? And what exactly is your problem with include?

Re: [PHP] Newbie question about UNIX command-line directives
The problem may be due to the fact that my environment is Apache Unix. I spent about two hours today pouring over the php on-line manual "include" spec and trying dozens of combinations. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php There must be at least 20 user contributed notes at the bottom. It is incredible that such a basic php function should be so obtuse and ill defined. I'm going to give your other suggestion a try tomorrow.

Re: [PHP] Newbie question about UNIX command-line directives
Does your AllowOverride include "Indexes"? If it doesn't, you can't put
DirectoryIndex in a .htaccess.
httpd -L is your friend.

Re: [PHP] Newbie question about UNIX command-line directives
Appreciate the feedback, but.
The .htaccess approach appears to fit my situation best; but, I've not
been able to get it to work.
I have a folder with a php script and that folder has several
sub-folders each with a small configuration script. I'd like the entry
point to be a subfolder and main script [in the parent folder] to be
"symbolically" executed.
I'm familiar with the DirectorIndex and use it often, but only for
defining the default file for the particular folder.
Could I be doing something wrong? Or is there another htaccess directive
that may work?
Thanks.

In a PHP script, you can do this -- if permissions are favorable:
exec('ln -s ../afile.php index.php');
> Is there some way to do this [e.g., with a htaccess file]?
In an .htaccess file, you can put this
DirectoryIndex afile.php

It makes a link in the file system. -s makes the link symbolic.

I'm on a virtual host without a shell account and need execute a UNIX command. ln -s ../afile.php index.php Is there some way to do this [e.g., with a htaccess file]?

[PHP] Newbie question about SQL result formatting
Ok, this is totally newbie but I just started messing around with PHP after programming IBM's NetData for a while. My first big problem I haven't been able to solve myself is how to format the result of an SQL query into HTML code. In the (MySQL) database, I have one field for very long texts. One test entry looks like this: -- test test test -- But when printing the result, even with HTMLENTITIES and HTMLSPECIALCHARS, just looks like: - test test test - How do I convert the result to HTML code, I especially want the linebreaks!! The answer is probably very simple /Kris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Newbie Question on Efficiency : Follow-up Question
PHP loads everything up before it starts doing anything. It's only going to execute the code it needs to, though, of course. I asked this question a while ago and got that answer. The process of loading all of the code is minimal, though, compared the actually executing the code. ---John Holmes... > -Original Message- > From: Michael Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 7:26 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP] Newbie Question on Efficiency : Follow-up Question > > OK, if I understand C++ correctly, if I write a program and #include > or something similar and compile the program it only > compiles with the used functions in it, right?

OK, if I understand C++ correctly, if I write a program and #include or something similar and compile the program it only compiles with the used functions in it, right?

Re: [PHP] Newbie Question on Efficiency
If you have have a large number of functions, it might be better to separate them into a few files that you can include as needed. I use one file that contains functions needed by every page. I have a few other files that contain functions that aren't needed by every page, so, I include them only on pages that need them. But most functions go in the main include file used on every page. Separating them will also minimize some overhead if you have a lot of functions. Otherwise, if your include files aren't War & Peace in length, one include file is fine.

He may also consider the position of the inc/decrementor.
Example (note that the first element of an array has index 0):
$a = Array(1,2,3,4,5);
$i = 1;
executing
echo $a[++$i]
will output
3 2
echo $a[$i++]
will output
2 2
In both cases $i gets incremented, but the value used to access the
array might be before or after the increment takes place, according to
the incrementor (or decrementor, if you use --) position. A subtle, but
often very handy nuance.

On restarting my PC and trying a very simple php script, I get the error at the bottom of this email. Unfortunately there isn't much help for the InstallShield version of PHP on the web site. I'd rather get this version working rather than install the manual version. Can anyone help? Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly. This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive. For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual page for CGI security.

Re: [PHP] Newbie question to everybody....PHP
I have never really understood why people have problems with arrays. Just
think of an array as a table of values. A one-dimensional array would be
a table with a single column and each row has a number (or index)
assigned to it:
+---++
| 0 | Apple |
+---++
| 1 | Orange |
+---++
| 2 | Banana |
+---++
In PHP this simple array could br created like this:
$fruits[0] = 'Apple';
$fruits[1] = 'Orange';
$fruits[2] = 'Banana';
Or there is a shortcut:
$fruits = array('Apple','Orange','Banana');
Now, the row numbers (or indices) do not have to start at 0.
$fruits[7] = 'Apple';
$fruits[10] = 'Orange';
$fruits['foo'] = 'Banana';
Would create a table like this:
+-++
| 7 | Apple |
+-++
| 10 | Orange |
+-++
| foo | Banana |
+-++
As you can see, row names don't even have to be numbers. When using
non-numerical array indices like this the array is sometimes referred to
as an associative array, although in PHP we don't really differentiate.
The shortcut for creating this array where you name each row would be:
$fruits = array(7=>'Apple', 10=>'Orange', 'foo'=>'Banana');
and obviously, to display an element you would do:
echo $fruits['foo'];
To loop through and display every value in the array you can use foreach:
foreach($fruits as $value) echo $value;
If you also want to display the row name (also known as the index or the
key):
foreach($fruits as $key=>$value) echo "$key: $value";
Now, what really seems to confuse people are multi-dimensional arrays, but
they are exactly the same. A multi-dimensional array can be thought of as
a table with more columns and you give each column a name as well now.
Just like a tic-tac-toe board:
01
+---++---+
| 0 | Apple | 1.99 |
+---++---+
| 1 | Orange | 2.99 |
+---++---+
| 2 | Banana | 0.89 |
+---++---+
So the Apple element would be in position 0,0, Orange would be 1,0 and
0.89 would be in position 2,1. Or in PHP you would write this as:
$fruits[0][0] = 'Apple';
$fruits[0][1] = 1.99;
$fruits[1][0] = 'Orange';
$fruits[1][1] = 2.99;
$fruits[2][0] = 'Banana';
$fruits[2][1] = 0.89;
That's of course a bit wordy. If you think of this slightly differently,
consider that each row is actually a small array of two items. The fruit
and the price. So you could also write this as:
$fruits[0] = array('Apple',1.99);
$fruits[1] = array('Orange',2.99);
$fruits[2] = array('Banana',0.89);
And then further breaking it down, we see that $fruits is just an array of
arrays, so it could actually be written as:
$fruits = array(array('Apple',1.99), array('Orange',2.99), array('Banana',0.89));
and again, you don't have to use simple numbers to name your rows and
columns.
NamePrice
+---++---+
| a | Apple | 1.99 |
+---++---+
| b | Orange | 2.99 |
+---++---+
| c | Banana | 0.89 |
+---++---+
$fruits = array( 'a'=>array('Name'=>'Apple', 'Price'=>1.99),
'b'=>array('Name'=>'Orange','Price'=>2.99),
'c'=>array('Name'=>'Banana','Price'=>0.89) );
Looping through a multi-dimensional array is a little trickier:
foreach($fruits as $k=>$arr) {
echo "$k: ";
foreach($arr as $kk=>$val) {
echo "$kk: $val ";
}
echo "\n";
}
If you run that code on the $fruits array you will get this output:
a: Name: Apple Price: 1.99
b: Name: Orange Price: 2.99
c: Name: Banana Price: 0.89
So basically you loop through all the rows and then inside each row
iteration you loop through each column.
This is about as complex as you are ever likely to get. You may end up
with 3-dimensional or higher arrays, but there really is no difference.
The display loop will of course get more complex as you will need another
level of looping. For a 3-dimensional array you would have items like
$fruits[0][0][0] and your display loop would be:
foreach() {
foreach() {
foreach() { }
}
}

1. I have dug deeper into arrays than I care to remember. 2. Absolutely not. 3. See http://www.php.net/sleep and http://www.php.net/usleep Glad to hear you're converting to PHP! It's an amazing language, and I don't see it going away any time in the near future. Hope you have fun, and be sure to ask if you have any more questions. I always try and answer questions on the list if I have the time, and know the answer.

Re: [PHP] Newbie question to everybody....PHP
Hi! 1. I believe every serious programmer out there uses arrays on a regular basis... 1.1. ...exactly because there are so many problems virtually unsolvable without them. Take for instance the case of a product page where people would fill in ordering quantitites. My recommendation would be not to study arrays, but rather try solving problems using them - that way you'll have a better chance to remember what you've learned. But then again, that's me - maybe you learn better in other ways. If you want to sleep, you can use sleep($seconds). But why in God's name would you want to do that?

Re: [PHP] Newbie question to everybody....PHP
Why would you want a scripting language to sleep, there is no such thing as a loop in a web page (yes, I know it would be possible, but it would lock up a users machine). I know you can set up the apache daemon to run on-demand to conserver resources, but I think you are getting mixed up between compiled and interpreted (aka scripting) languages.

My code looks like the following: You can't use PHP to change the content of an existing frame. You can use Javascript, but it gets ugly real fast. So you will need to regenerate *all* the frames with each request. This requires maintaining state across the frameset and the child frames. You could do that either by embedding a GET string in the URL of the frame pages, or using cookies. I prefer the GET option as it works for all users. ...R. p.s.

Hubert, It may just be the way you typed it in the email but your "products.php?tosend = 1" has spaces in it. This will truncate the tosend parameter and give it a null value.

I assume you mean that you can see the value in the URL, but when you access $tosend, it has no value. You should be able to get it from $_GET['tosend'].

[PHP] newbie question: templates with frames
Hello to all. Please help me in this problem of mine. I have an html template with a
frame. I'm using phplib's templating functions to replace values in the templates. How
do i also replace values both in the main template (frleft.htm) and in the html page
contained in the frame? My code looks like the following:
set_var("test", "nyahahaha");
$tpl->set_file(array(base => "frleft.htm"));
$tpl->parse(DefaultPage, base);
$tpl->finish(DefaultPage);
$tpl->p(DefaultPage);

[PHP] newbie question: how to recompile PHP?
Hello all,
I hope my newbie question don't bother you
too much.
I've downloaded the latest PHP for windows
but when I try to use it I get a message
that I have to re-compile it.
("You may disable this restriction by recompiling the PHP binary
with the --disable-force-cgi-redirect switch.")
Can anybody tell me a couple of words about
how to recompile PHP? Or this error message
is just an issue of php.ini?
I got the sources but what kind a compiler
do I need, where from I can get it?
