I am unable to provide a better definition that "user defined variables".
User defined variables are variables that are declared by the user. User
here means the creator (or maintainer of the script).

So for:

After...");
   print_r($globals);

return $globals;
}

globals();
?>

You will get: Array( [a] = A [b] => B [c] => C ). $a, $b and $c are user
defined variables.

This is a script vars.php

I called http://localhost/vars.php?a=1

I get : -

Before...Array ( [GLOBALS] => Array *RECURSION* [_POST] => Array ( ) [_GET]

Re: [PHP] $GLOBALS example script on php.net

2011-03-06 Thread Ashim Kapoor
It doesn't though, it creates a copy of the $_GLOBALS super global array,
removes entries that will have been set by the system (i.e. it leaves
user-defined variables) and then returns the ones that are left, so in that,
the user note is perfectly correct.

What has me puzzled is how unsetting LEAVES user defined variables ? Why
would that happen ?

Dear Ashley,

I do follow the part when it creates a local copy of $GLOBALS.

When it unsets them, is there a subtlety of unset that it ONLY unsets system
defined entries? Could you please explain this ?

against my better judgment, I believe this is what you are looking for.

# Get your starting string
$pieces = "47406|Detroit";

# Break it into the parts you are looking to use
$parts  = explode("|", $pieces);

# Empty temporary array
$tmpHolder = array();

# Loop through parts list
foreach ( $parts AS $part ) {

# Create a single statement and stuff it in your tmp array
$tmpHolder[] = "regions.name LIKE '%{$part}'";
}

# Join all the parts together, placing an OR between each element.
$string3 = join(' OR ', $tmpHolder);

RE: [PHP] Globals or Super Global Variables To Be Reused from For Loops

2008-11-06 Thread Alice Wei

Hi, 


  Sorry, I cannot use that because I am supposed to turn the string into 
something that looks like regions.name LIKE '%47406' OR regions.name LIKE 
'%Detroit', which I had to fix $string3 variable to   

  $string3="regions.name LIKE '%" . $stringChunk2[$j] . "'";

  The goal is that the $message variable would be only a $_POST['message'] 
variable so that the where clause can be generated dynamically. 
  The code I have above is part of my where clause in the full SQL statement I 
intend to
construct, which means I have to reuse this $string3 variable somewhere
else.
  
This is what my global declaration looks like: 

  if ($j <$count_chunk_2) {

 $string2= " OR ";
 $string3=$string3.$string2;
 global $string3;
   }
 else {
 //Don't do anything
   }
   echo $string3;
  }
echo $string3;

   The last $string3 echo only gives me regions.name
LIKE '%Detroit' according to the current construct and not regions.name
LIKE '%47406' OR regions.name LIKE '%Detroit'. Is there something else I should 
do to have it give me the same output as the echo $string3 as I have had after 
the second to last curly brace? 

Thanks again for your help.

Alice,

The big problem here is that you are resetting the $string3 variable in the
loop

  for ($j=0; $j<$count_chunk2; $j++) {

 $string3= $stringChunk2[$j];//  <<<-- resetting
the value
 if ($j <$count_chunk_2) {
$string2= " OR ";
$string3=$string3.$string2;
  }
else {
//Don't do anything
  }
  echo $string3;
 }


I am not sure of your goal since you have not stated it, but it certainly
should be easier to just replace the PIPE  with the OR

$message = str_replace("|", " OR ", $message);

This is exactly the same as:
$myclass = new myclass();
as far as I've ever been able to tell, except that $GLOBALS is a
super-global, so it will "work" inside a function as well as outside.

For a brief period, it seemed like people were hot on using that instead
of 'global' in a function, so they didn't have to understand scoping.  Or
maybe it was the guys tired of trying to explain scoping to newbies who
were hot on it. :-^

Seems to me, you'd be better off understanding scoping rules and using
'global' so if you ever want to use another language, you'll have the good
programming habits, knowledge and skills you'll need.

But that's just my personal opinion.  Somebody gonna post and disagree
with me, almost for sure. :-)

The only simularity it has to register_globals ON is that you don't know
what method provided the value. It could be POST, GET, or COOKIE.

But... if you're validating the data properly anyhow, it really shouldn't
matter where it's coming from. I use $_REQUEST for everything, that way I
can change the method of my forms if I need to without affecting my code (or

Well .. it basically just "Contains a reference to every variable which is
currently available within the global scope of the script. The keys of this
array are the names of the global variables.". Since $GLOBALS itself is
global, that too is contained.

So: 


var_dump(isset($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS
']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBAL
S']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBA
LS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOB

]['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS
']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBAL
S']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBA
LS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOB

GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS'][
'GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']
['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS']['GLOBALS'
]));

Will still print out true. the displaying of *RECURSION* is to prevent, well
.. ehmm, recursively printing out the $GLOBALS array over and over again.
This is something new in PHP 4.0.4. Read the manual on page
http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php:

Note: Prior to PHP 4.0.4, print_r() will continue forever if given
an array or object that contains a direct or indirect reference to itself.
An example is print_r($GLOBALS) because $GLOBALS is itself a global variable
that contains a reference to itself.

You should be able to put an .htaccess file disabling globals into /www/,
then put an .htaccess file enable globals into /www/theApplication/.  If
this setup causes problems, feel free to report back.

You can enable them on a per directory bases with .htaccess, take a look 
at http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php.

I recommend using the .htaccess method rather than globally turning on 
register globals.

Create a script that outputs phpinfo().


This will tell you where the php.ini file should be (it probably isn't 
there right now). Copy php.ini-recommended to the location that 
phpinfo() told you it was, and name it php.ini. Make the necessary 
changes to php.ini. Restart Apache. You should be all set.

Well, I'm kinda guessing here, but it probably goes something like this:

   global $GLOBALS;

is the equivalent of doing

   $GLOBALS = &$GLOBALS['GLOBALS'];

but this causes $GLOBALS to be a local variable within the function, so the
sequence PHP executes probably goes like this:

(1) set up $GLOBALS as a local variable of the function, masking out the
true (super)global $GLOBALS.
(2) look up the 'GLOBALS' element of this new local $GLOBALS -- this is NULL
as no value has yet been assigned to the local $GLOBALS!
(3) create a reference to the NULL obtained from this lookup, and assign
that to the local $GLOBALS.

So what you've ended up in the $GLOBALS which is local to the function is a
reference to NULL, hence the behaviour you're seeing.

Like I say, this is all guesswork -- albeit slightly educated guesswork,
based on my scant and very ancient (over 20 years ago!) experience of
writing bits for a couple of interpreted languages.  Maybe a PHP internal
person might come along and tell me how close I got...!! ;)

Maybe it has to do with the fact that the $GLOBALS[] array has a copy of
itself inside the parent.

kinda weird but it looks like this

$GLOBALS['key1'] = 'value1';
$GLOBALS['key2'] = 'value2';
$GLOBALS['GLOBALS']['key1'] = 'value1';
$GLOBALS['GLOBALS']['key2'] = 'value2';

don't ask me why, but it seems odd to me to do this.  A little redundant if
you ask me.

Re: [PHP] Globals

I can't speek about the first problem, but about the second one.

You are not setting the variable $blah as a global variable.

Try this instead

$GLOBALS['blah'] = 'bob';

and that should work.

You need to look into scope when refering to variables and functions.

One usually use stuff like mysql_connect() and friends to connect to 
databases. If you're using 'post' (as in HTTP POST) then aren't you in fact 
accessing a webserver which returns data from a database as opposed to 
accessing the database directly?

Perhaps you could elaborate on what your setup is and what you're doing. For example, 
what do you mean by "sending data to a database machine using POST"? The usual method 
of accessing a remote database does not involve the use of "POST".

Assuming line 22 is (it would help if you told us _which_ is line 22)

  $smarty->assign("message", $message);

and assuming that you _really_ have defined $smarty in the main code then I 
cannot see what you're doing wrong.

Does $smarty->assign("message", $message work in the main loop (ie when not in

RE: [PHP] $GLOBALS ???

2002-07-05 Thread Lazor, Ed

Is this true? :

Session variables are tracked whether or not a visitor's browser supports
cookies.  The session id is automatically appeneded to each url on the site
if the user's browser doesn't support cookies.

This represents one of the major differences between setting your own
cookies and using sessions.

-Original Message-
Haven't seen this post on PHP newsgroup.  What I mean by that is, let's say
I use the "header("Location: test.php?SID&data=Yes!");".  I now know that I
would have to use the data in the URL.  But for SID, this will apply but I
want to know is, is there any PHP code that will do this behind the scene
without needing to use the URL.  $_COOKIE can do this but I can't use
$_COOKIE because if the user's browser had the cookie disabled, then it
wouldn't do me any good.

Correct you can add the data as a URL parameter.  Or, you could set a

-Original Message-

Let's say .

--clip--
Page 1 -
$data = "Yes!";

header("Location: test1.php");

Page 2 -
$data = $GLOBALS['data'];

echo $data;

This one does not work!  Does this ever work at all or do I need to do the

Re: [PHP] Globals bug??

2002-07-01 Thread troy

When I said "process" I meant "request". Sorry. Is it possible that the PHP
globals are being used across requests (i.e., within the same process)? We
noticed this when upgrading from a version of PHP (4.0.6?) prior to the new
super-globals being added to PHP 4.1.2. 

The code in this case is so straightforward that I can't see any other
explanation. The variable in question comes from the URL. For example, if the
URL is http://foo.com/page.php?var=abc, $var in the PHP is a different value 
in these rare cases.  And the variable we use here is in a very specific 
format and it is a valid value just that it's a different value from the one 
in the URL. 

Also note that we've only seen this problem when the variable has a longer
string than the one in the URL. Using the URL from the above example again,
$var has a value like "abcdef" which is valid value but longer (in addition to
being wrong). It's as if PHP is re-using memory from a previous request and is
not truncating the string properly for the next request.

Does that make more sense? Possible?

Are you using any opcode cache? Are you sure it is another process or

I don't see how.  But if what you are saying is actually happening, then
it is a Linux kernel-level bug if memory is leaking from one process to
another.  No matter how badly we screwed up in PHP, the kernel prevents
such a screwup from infecting a separate process.

I'd suggest having a close look at your code.

If you refer to a POST or GET (or COOKIE or SESSION or SERVER) variable 
as $_POST['variablename'] or $_GET['variablename'], then it will 
automatically be global.

In PHP 4.1.x or later

RE: [PHP] globals in functions

2002-04-13 Thread Cal Evans

1: Globals are bad...m'kay.
You should never use globals.  If your function needs a variable, you should
pass it in. There are exceptions to this rule but it's not a good idea to
program normally this way.

2: Is this a form?
It sounds (from the way you word it) that the variables are part of a form.
If so, pass $_POST into your form and it will be able to evaluate them.  If
it's METHOD=GET then use $_GET.  This is also a much more generic way to
program since if you add a new variable to the form, you don't have to make
it global in this function.

if (myFunction($_GET)){
echo "Everything is hunky dory!";
} else {
echo "Blow Chow";
}

function myFunction($formArray=null){
if (isNull($formArray){
return false;
}

if (isarray($formArray)){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
} // function myFunction($formArray=null)

WARNING: I have not tried the code above.  Use at your own risk.  But the
concepts are there.

Re: [PHP] $GLOBALS

It gives you the content of the querystring variable ref and id. eg.
page.php?id=20&ref=value

> What is $GLOBALS?

$GLOBALS is an array wich contains all the varibles in the "global variable
scope". http://dk.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

You can get an overview of all the variables by using the print_r()
function: print_r($GLOBALS);
http://dk.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php

> What are the parameters ["HTTP_GET_VARS"]["ref"]?

["HTTP_GET_VARS"] is also an array, and it contains alle the variables from
the querystring. And ['ref'] is a querystring variable.

If you use a form with method="GET" and submit it all the field names and
values are stored in a global associative array called HTTP_GET_VARS as
name/value pairs.

I'm not sure what was changed. As far as I can see, the global version of
$test and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["test"] still reference different memory
locations, and they are not the same variable, *while on the current page*.
However, if register_globals is "on", then the global version gets saved to
the session file, and will be in the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array on the next
page.

";
echo "sess array version of test = ".$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["test"]."";
?>

well thats a strange one isn't it. I would double check your php.ini make
sure it wasn't changed, also check the phpinfo() output to see if its
accually using the right php.ini file

http://php.net/manual/function.phpinfo.php

can you use the GLOBALS array?

echo $GLOBALS['foo'];

I dont quite know what to say more, thats a strange one you got there :)
