Hi All,
Go figure... I sat down today to get some more work on my current

position of the array, but I haven't a clue as to how this might be
accomplished. I've been all over google and php.net, but I'm not finding
anything that will help me do this.
Basically all I want to do is something like this:
if( current_arrayPointer_postition == n ){
... do this
}else{

foreach isn't really like that. it uses (IIRC) an internal pointer of
it's own leaving the userland pointer where ever it is.
but:
$n = 5;
// make a new array with numeric keys starting at 0
$array = array_values(array);
// loop it
foreach ($array as $key = $val) {
if ($key == $n) {
echo I got five on it;
} else {
echo usual suspect;

Anyone know of a built-in PHP function that can assist with this, or can
you point me to a resource that could help me code a solution?

Thanks all for the helpful suggestions. Actually Jochem's suggestion was
just what I needed. I was stuck at just how to test where the pointer
was and couldn't see a way out. I knew there had to be a simple, elegant
solution, but apparently was over-thinking it. Jochem put things back

not in the context of foreach() (I'll repeat the oneliner here
because tedd's old and has a crap email client ;-):
php -r '$r = array(a,b,c); next($r); $K = key($r); foreach ($r as $k = $v) { echo $K

current() is akin to key() in that they both work on where the array pointer
currently is. not that current() returns a key ;-)

Re: [PHP] testing on a local server
Well Jay was showing you where you could pick up everything you needed. On Windows XP the IIS server is not installed by default you have to select it as a component to install, so I'm not sure if you would have IIS installed either. If you want a simple and quick solution go to the link that Jay sent and download that installer you'll get Apache/PHP/MySQL and some other tools for development.

RE: [PHP] Testing on the local server
allison not familiar with dreamweaver to know if it can act as a webserver. i strongly suspect that it's simply an editor, but not an actual server, that can be used to interpret/display php code. that said, you'll have to have access to a webserver. IIS is a webserver from msoft. apache is a webserver from the open source community. there are other servers as well you'll need to decide which, if any, you need/want to setup. you might be better served by telling the list just what you're trying to accomplish. do you already have a webserver where your dreamweaver files are being displayed? the other suggestions that you've gotten have been from people who've pointed you to all in one apps. this may/may not be the best solution for you. -bruce -Original Message- From: Allison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 9:03 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Testing on the local server First of all, I'm completely new to PHP and pretty new to web programming/management in general, so if you respond, try not to use any really complex terms or anything that I may not understand! right now I have an existing PHP site that I downloaded for editing.

First of all I need to know that these are same which I can do with

Iterate through the string and count the number of capitalised letters.
You can do something like this (untested pseudocode)
$myStr = Fred;
$numOfCapLetters = 0;
$curLetter = '';
for( $i = 0; $i = strlen( $myStr ); $i++ ) {
$curLetter = $myStr{$i};
if( strtoupper( $curLetter ) == $curLetter ) {
$numOfCapLetters++;
}
}
then just compare the $numOfCapLetters for each string.
thnx,

Here's my guess at how these sites do that: (1) User visits login page, no cookie is set. (2) User enters username and password in the login page form, clicks the submit button, and the login page form posts back to itself. (3) The login page has logic at the top to check and see if the form has been posted...if so it verifies the user's credentials, sets a cookie, and then redirects to the first page of the application. (4) The first page of the application (main menu or whatever) checks to see if a cookie has been provided. If not, it displays the warning that the user has disabled cookies. So, the app sets the cookie and then immediately redirects to the page that checks the cookie. To the end user it would appear that the cookie was set and checked in the same page.

I think it's more to catch errors.. for example.. if I typed this:
if ($foo = FALSE)
You will not get an error since you are assigning $foo the value of FALSE
while if you did this:
if (FALSE = $foo)
PHP will throw up an error because you can not assign FALSE the value of
$foo :)
That's the only reason that I can think of.

Re: [PHP] testing for negative numbers
Hi Rasmus:
Yes, I'm totally aware of case sensitivity...and basically the script
you wrote here is exactly what I'm trying to doing. This is a problem
I've been having with several scripts...always when the number is
negative. I've also echoed my variables just to make sure they are in
fact negative numbers. This is an odd thing I've been dealing with for
a while now.
This only happens when the value is negative. But anyway, here's the
part of the script I'm encountering the problem at:
$result = $Database-Query(SELECT * FROM
.DBT__MATRIX_STRUCTURE_CONTENT. WHERE content_id = '.$tmpParentId.');
while ($row = $Database-FetchArray($result))
{
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][ID-PARENT] =
$row[parent_id];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][ID-DIR]= $row[dir_id];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][TYPE] =
$row[content_type];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][FILE] =
$row[content_file];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][TITLE] =
$row[content_title];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][VERSION] =
$row[content_version];
if ($row[dir_id] 0)
{
$resultc = $Database-Query(SELECT * FROM
.DBT__MATRIX_STRUCTURE_DIR. WHERE dir_id = '.$row[dir_id].');
while ($rowc = $Database-FetchArray($resultc))
{
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][PATH] =
$rowc[dir_path];
}
$Database-FreeResult($resultc);
}
if ((int)$row[dir_id] 0)
{
$resultc = $Database-Query(SELECT * FROM
.DBT__MATRIX_STRUCTURE_ROUTES. WHERE dir_id = '.$row[dir_id].');
while ($rowc = $Database-FetchArray($resultc))
{
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][ALIAS] =
$rowc[dir_alias];
$tmpArray[$tmpCount][PATH] =
$rowc[dir_path];
echo xxx; exit();
}
$Database-FreeResult($resultc);
}

I'm using PHP version 4.2.3
Whether I have a negative number in an array, for example:
$myArray[ID] = -2
Or the number comes from the database, for example:
$row[id] = -2
I cannot get this simple operation to work:
if ($row[id] 0)
Instead, positive or negative, it seems to think this expression is
always true:
if ($row[id] 0)
It's like it takes the absolute value of the number (whether the number
is 2 or -2, it thinks it is 2)
I've tried many things, including type casting using (int) in front of
the expression.
Nothing has worked.
Any ideas why in the world this is happening? Thanks.

Well, I just tried your test script and that works just as it should, so I must be having some other issue.

Re: [PHP] testing for negative numbers
Okay, I'm an idiot. It *was* making it to the statement, but the row_id in the table matrix_structure_routes are actually positive numbers, so when it gets to that point I need to use the absolute value. The reason for using the negative and postive counterparts are to determine which type of directory it is (and therefore which table the meta information is stored in).

Re: [PHP] testing if a query was successful
As quoted from the manual: A non-FALSE return value means that the query
was legal and could be executed by the server. It does not indicate anything
about the number of rows affected or returned. It is perfectly possible for
a query to succeed but affect no rows or return no rows.
Always test your query with the assumption that you will return a non-FALSE
value. This is an important lesson to learn as it is more robust and can
save you from quite a bit of frustration. For example..
$result = mysql_query(SELECT... ) or die(Invalid query: .
mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
{
echo Query executed but no rows were selected.;
exit;
}
$result = mysql_query(UPDATE or INSERT or DELETE... ) or die(Invalid
query: . mysql_error());
if (mysql_affected_rows() == 0)
{
echo Query executed but no rows were affected;
exit;
}

}
but i also want a query test that goes something like this:

RE: [PHP] testing a query for success--code doesnt work
Just grab your qu
?
$affected_rows = mysql_affected_rows($query);
if ($affected_rows==0){
print No rows updated;
}
else{
print $affected_rows. rows have beenupdated.;
}
?
or something along those lines...but also add in your check to see if the
query ran without errors.

Subject: Re: [PHP] testing a query for success--code doesnt work
yes that is what i needed.. how many rows were changed as well as how did
the query run in general... i want the:
if($query){
ok message
}
else{
fail message
}
but i also want a query test that goes something like this:
if(0 rows were updated){
message saying nothing happened
}else{
message saying the record was actually updated
}
if i can get some code example for that...it would help
tnx

I believe as long as the update was successful (no errors) it will say
'message if successful'...I think you are wanting to know if rows were
updated or not...not whether or not the query ran ok.

if($query){
message if successfull...
}
else{

Re: [PHP] testing a query for success--code doesnt work
* if the update does not have anything to work on
it does not mean it is a failure! except when you
EXPECTED it to update something.
Right, and the function doesn't care what you expect
anyway. :-)
* i'm not sure whether if ($query) is the proper
way to check this. for trapping development errors i
always suggest:
$q=update members set company=\$company\, ...
$query=mysql_query($q) or
die ('hrDB update failed in '.__FILE__.' line
'.__LINE__.'brQuery was:'.$q.'brmysql
reported:'.mysql_error());
His way of trapping an error was fine, actually, though it
is a bit more elegant to say:
if (!mysql_query($sql))
{
echo Error;
}
To die() on error is great for debugging, but it isn't very
elegant in production (without some good custom error
handling, in which case it is fine). Testing whether the
function returned true or false allows you to take any
action you desire.
His logic was the only real problem. For some reason, quite
a few people seem to not understand what an error is.

Re: [PHP] testing a query for success--code doesnt work
FYI unlike the other mysql result functions mysql_affected_rows() works on
the last query *only* and does not accept a results pointer as input.
So this will result in an error...
$result = mysql_query(UPDATE.. whatever);
$affected_rows = mysql_affected_rows($result); //== invalid identifier
Simply leave the $result out of the function...
$result = mysql_query(UPDATE.. whatever) or die(Invalid query.);
$affected_rows = mysql_affected_rows();
if ($affected_rows == 0)
echo font color=redThe query ran but no rows were updated./font;
else
echo font color=green.$affected_rows. were updated./font;

RE: [PHP] testing a query for success--code doesnt work
thanks!...my fault... I had never used it...been using mysql_num_rows so
that is where I took the example.
Thanks!
