Hello Matt,
Of course it does not, but as i've already said file() with strlen()
can be used. :)

Not on binary files. For an image that's 4494 bytes, file/join/strlen gives
me 3512. And since file() on a remote file is downloading it anyway, you
might as well do it right:
$fp = fopen('http://example.com/image.jpg','r');
while (!feof($fp))
$image .= fread($fp,1024);
echo strlen($image);

Hello Matt,
So does that problem have a solution?

Hello all,
I have ran across this error a number of times, and for those of you who
are or will pulling out your hair, read on.
When you get a:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION' or `T_FUNCTION' or
`T_VAR' or `'}'' in your_script.php on line 2149
Check to see if you have all of you { and } intact.
The error could be thousands of lines away, but the error message may point
to the end of your file.
I notice this behavior when I am working on class definitions and forget to
open close a block (switch, for, while) in a method in the class somewhere.
Hope it helps someone.

A couple of more pointers:
Check the line right before the parse error for missing }) or ;
Always close your curley braces right after you open them and then insert
your code lines between the braces. {} This will prevent you from
forgetting to close your braces.
Never write a single script with 2149 lines of code ;)

Hello,
I have a form with multiple checkboxes.
Their names are the same ie all are befname and their values are dynamically filled
from a data base.
When I check multiple boxes I expect that an array of the values with the array named
befname is sent to the results page. In my example the form action is inschk.php
If an array is sent to inschk.php how may I get the multiple values out of it.
If this can be done I then will insert the different values into a database.
At present if I check multiple checkboxes I can only see the value of the last
checkbox that is checked.
Thanks,
Ivan

Rename your form name to "befname[]" Then you'll get them all... this is
in the manual somewhere if you need more info on it... don't remember
exactly where.

Hola Daniel:
Te escribo en castellano ya que veo que el inglés no es tu idioma natural.
Creo que el error se produce al concatenar las variables, acordate que para
indicar que las variables con cadenas tenés que encerrarlas entre "", yo lo
definiría así:
$user_birthdate = "$birth_year-$birth_month-$birth_day"; // 1982-12-08
Saludos

I have a file that contains settings and there are a lot of comments in
there and a lot of variables. An excerpt of the file looks like below. My
question is, is it possible to change only certain variables? For example,
I want to set just the db variables, is it possible for me to input the new
values in a form and replace only those in the file without having to
rewrite the entire file?
$mailtype = 0; # 0 - sendmail, 1 - SMTP
########## Database Info ##########
$db_name = "name";
$db_user = "user";
$db_passwd = "pass";
$db_server = "localhost";
########## Directories/Files ##########
# Note: directories other than $imagesdir do not have to be changed unless
you move things
$boarddir = "."; # The absolute path to the folder (usually can be left
as '.')
$sourcedir = "./Sources"; # Directory with source files
--- End Message ---

You cannot make changes to a file without writing the entire contents of the
file to disk. On the other hand, you do not need to manually re-create the
entire contents. Simple read the file into a variable and use regular
expressions to replace the old lines with new ones and then write the file
to disk. For what its worth, I cannot think of a justification for keeping
any settings other than database settings in a file. I would recommend
keeping all settings, other than database access settings, in a database.
This makes accessing and updating the settings much easier. The only reason
database settings must be in a file is because you obviously cannot access
the database without them (unless you use default settings in the php.ini
file).

[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 <br /> 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.

I saw a download for it a few days ago but I am curious to know:
A.) how stable is it
B.) Is there offically a known 'make' one must have on linux to install it?
3.7.7 ok? (Freetype I found out 3.7.8 or higher according to a developer of
freetype)
C.) what are the new features and when is it officially up from php.net?
Unless I am a picklehead and I missed it was released like today or yesterday
Thanks

Hello,
Slight Problem:
----------
This piece of code:
session_start();
unset($testvar);
session_register("testvar"); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"] = "testval";
print "Global: $testvar | Track_var: " . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"] . ".<br>";
$testvar = "testglobalassign";
print "Global: $testvar | Track_var: " . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"] . ".<br>";
Produces this output:
Global: | Track_var:
Global: testglobalassign | Track_var:
--------
Now, The other HTTP_*_VARS works just fine. I dont know where to go to fix this. The
Php.ini file says:
register_globals: on
and I compiled it with --enable-track-vars (even though it should be on by default)
PHP version is 4.0.6 with apache 1.3.22
Anyone seen this problem or know how to fix?
Thanks,
Andrew

It looks like it is working as expected. You must note two things.
First, session variables are updated to new values only when you explicitly
call session_register or when the script ends. When you call
session_register, the session variable will have the value that the global
variable had at the time the session_register is called. In your case the
variable is not set so the session variable is empty. When the script ends
the session variable is assigned the value held by the global variable when
the script ends. This is why you get "" when you try to print the session
variables. They have never been updated.
Second, the HTTP_SESSION_VARS array is read only. You cannot assign values
to session variables this way. You can only assign values to session
variables by assigning values to the global variable that has been
registered with the session. This is why neither the global or session
variable was changed in the first part of your example.

hi all!
i have the following problem:
1.im loading 5 colums from a mysql-table into an array:
$threads = db_query("SELECT title, date, body, poster, board_posts_ID FROM board_posts
WHERE msgkind = 'thr'
ORDER BY date DESC");
everything fine so far...
2.im trying to list them line by line:
while (list ($title, $date, $body, $poster, $msgID) = mysql_fetch_array($threads)){
print (" <tr>\n".
" <td><a href=\"view_thread.php&parent=".$msgID.
" \">$title</a></td>\n".
" <td>$poster</td>\n".
" <td>$date</td>\n".
" </tr>\n");
}
here is the problem:
there's always one line(row) missing (i.e. if there are 17 rows in the db, 16 are
being displayed in the browser).i've tried the same code with mysql_fetch_row()...no
difference in the outcome.
please reply to this msg if you can help,
thx in advance, Chris
