Hi Robert, maybe your variable doesn't exist. Try using if(!isset($variable)) { missing-message } else { show $variable } I hope this helps. Bye, Marcel -- registered Fli4l-User #0388 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Testing MySQL 4.0 ; detaching queries
Save the queries on different files, one for each query. Then make a script that will read all these files and execute the queries, maybe run it as a cron job, and delete the succesful ones . With several files will be easier to spot an error if occur, just open it and see the query. Okay, it's not much 'on-the-fly', because doesn't have all agreggated processes from the whole script running, but your queries will be tested... -- Julio Nobrega No matter where you go, &this.

[PHP] Re: Testing for the presence of HTML
This may not actually be a problem. If you are expecting that users may enter links as html you can still use nl2br and get a decent result. The only time this would be a problem, would be if the users actually entered as they filled in the form. In my experience, it is highly unlikely that a user will write their own as they fill in a form, even if they do enter other html such as links. Fred Richard S. Crawford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... My database contains a field which may or may not contain HTML code, depending on what a particular user enters when they enter the data. Here's the challenge: If there is HTML code in this field, then print the text with interpreted HTML. No problem at all. If there is no HTML code in the field, then I still want the data printed nice and neat; the users will probably use line returns to make their text look somewhat decent. So, assuming that $text contains the contents of this field, then what I want to do is this: if (!HTMLin$text) then $text = nl2br($text); What's the best way to check and see if HTML is present in the field?

Re: [PHP] Re: Testing for the presence of HTML
Unfortunately, I also have users entering complex HTML code such as tables; which, if each tag of a table is on a separate line, renders badly with nl2br(). I mean, really badly. You have no idea.

[PHP] Re: Testing Alert: Significant changes to DOM-XML
[This mail goes out to php-dev, php-qa and php-general and has its Reply-To: set to php-dev!] Hi Zak, thanks for the mail, I was thinking about writing such a mail myself but was to tired I guess. Yep, the CVS note to the latest ext/domxml changes state it clearly: # Testers/patches/contribs welcome. The actual changelog can be found here [1]. Also for anyone out there who has no idea about CVS: It won't help me anything filing bug reports against any released source code of PHP out there. Please use the HEAD branch when filing bug reports. See CVS instructions at http://www.php.net/anoncvs.php how to achive this. Although I don't expect a rush on this ;) I want to give out some simple rules for anyone helping us getting domxml more stable: .) If you have a reproduceable crash with small self-containing script with no other external dependencies than loading a file -> don't forget to use the bug reporting system! Do not mail me privately about it! No, I'm not lazy or whatever but I wan't to broaden the audience reading about the bugs (two eyes see less than more eyes) and it also helps me keeping track of all the problems. .) If you have a reproduceable crash but can't create a small self-containing script, there are three options: 1) still try to create one (prefered) 2) Provide backtrace in your bug report ('bt full' command, not normal bt) 3) give me access to your devel system (no, no joke. This has worked in the past, it can in the future) But no promises. .) Before reporting, try creating a testcase which is suiteable to run on the command line of PHP (read: with the CGI version). Apache is nice but it adds some extra work when handling the bugs I prefer the reproduceable scripts which use the CGI version for testing and don't contain any fancy tags but newlines and such instead. The find bug/fix it cycle is much faster without apache. Again, I'm not lazy, but I'm also using MSVC for debugging and although I'm not a windows fan I've seen myself being faster chasing down bugs with it then with gdb (doh!). .) Patches can go directly to me; but please also tell me why and what and give a testing script and not only send a diff to me. Of cousre, anyone with the proper karma is encouraged to fix it himself (you might want to check back if I'm not currently working on it). .) NEW FEATURES No, I do NOT plan to add now featuers. I'm just interesting in making the current version more stable but time doesn't permit to expand this scope. But you're still encouraged to use the bug report system to put your feature requests there or do it yourself. What I wrote done seems normal to me and I do not explicetely prefer this for domxml but anything else too. Saves mit quite lot of time.
