Thanks for the tip. You raised one other question I have - PERL.

I know nothing about it, but I just wondered how it fits into the big 
scheme of things. Am I correct in understanding that PHP is, in the 
broadest sense, a more user friendly PERL equivalent, and that people 
who have mastered PHP still use PERL for doing certain advanced 
functions that PHP can't handle?

PHP and Perl really aren't interchangeable.  There are alot of tasks 
that they can both do, and I'm sure a few items that one can handle that 
the other cannot, but it all boils down to what you want to do.  If all 
you're wanting to do with a programming language is create web sites and 
middle-tier web applications, stick with PHP.  Perl can handle it quite 
well, but wasn't designed for that task, whereas PHP was/is.  I cut my 
teeth on Perl in the mid-90's, and still use it today for some system 
admistration tasks, but I can't think of a reason where I would choose a 
Perl CGI script over a PHP application for web development.

[PHP] How do I write to an XML file

[Tim Burgan]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction
regarding how I can write to an XML file.

I'm new to PHP - I've just figured out how to basically write data to a
text file.

What I want to do is have a user submit data (email address & a question)
via a form that is written to the xml file, then have a  support person
add an answer to the xml file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tim Burgan

Re: [PHP] Returning Newbie (Disoriented)

[Freedomware]

OK, here are three more questions:

1. I visited Apache's download page at 
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi  It says the best version to 
download is 2.0.48.

Then it lists the following:

Unix Source: httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5]
Unix Source: httpd-2.0.48.tar.Z [PGP] [MD5]
Win32 Source: httpd-2.0.48-win32-src.zip [PGP] [MD5]
Win32 Binary (MSI Installer): apache_2.0.48-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi [PGP] 
[MD5]
Other files

My operating system is Windows XP Pro, so I assume I want to download 
Win32 Source or Win32 Binary - but which one? What's a MSI Installer?

2. Do you know of any instructions for disabling the Windows IIS server 
before I install Apache? I remember going through this process before, 
and it was quite a hassle.

3. What's the best PHP program to download, and would I download it from 
 www.php.net?

Thanks!

[PHP] Making coockies valid for multiple domains possible?

[Merlin]

Hello everybody,

I am working on translating my site into multiple languages (i18n). Each 
different language is hosted on the same server, but on a different 
subdomain.

example:
de.server.com - german
en.server.com - english
Here comes the problem. Sessions are validated through coockies on my 
site. The system checks if the coockie is valid and compares it with a 
sessionid inside the database.

It seems to me that coockies are only valid for one domain for security 
reasons.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to make that coockie valid for multiple domains?
Thank you for any help on that.

Regards,

Merlin

Re: [PHP] Returning Newbie (Disoriented)

Scratch the first two questions - I figured out the MIS Installer and 
downloaded it, and it looks like the IIS server isn't installed on my 
computer.

But a couple other questions popped up when I began installing Apache:

What do I type in for "Network Domain" and "Server Name"?

I have over a dozen websites, or are they asking for information that 
relates to my computer?

Or should I just pick my biggest website and list www.geobop.org under 
"Network Domain," then get the "Server Name" from my ISP?

Thanks.

I've read the pages, it doesn't give very good examples from what I've seen,
but here is the page:


http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#ini.session.cookie-domain

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you set this in your php.ini or with
session_set_cookie_params() to server.com, it's valid across any sub
domains, whereas if you set it to de.server.com, it would only be valid in
the de.server.com sub domain.

Or possibly try *server.com. I havn't played with this, since I only use
cookies when I manually set them, not for sessions.


Hope this helps,

Jake

Yes, it is...

See: http://cz.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

When you set parametr domain to ".server.com" - see carfully, there are two
dots :) - the cookie will be available for all subdomains...

As written on http://cz.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
"server.com" should be enought, bud it's recommended to use ".server.com"...

XML files are just plain text files. If you can write to text files
already then you can write to/create an XML file too.

Well, server name is your main domain... Network domain... Hmm... Not sure
if that's where you enter your IP or your top-level domain...

Try network domain: geobop.org, servername: www.geobop.org... The installer
is just confusing really.. It's much easier to just open httpd.conf in
notepad.. It's very well explained.. :)

About PHP... Download PHP from snaps.php.net, to the right, there's windows
vversions of 4.3.* and 5.0.*... They are the development verisons however...
Usually works (I use them)...

If IIS is installed... Goto the services controll panel and disable it...

If you got dozens domains, mod_l33t is highly recommended, but it's only for
Apache 1.3 which I use under both Me, 2k and XP btw... Apache 2.0 just cause
problems with PHP... Well, I haven't really confirmed it yet, but if you
read on the php.net manual page, you'll see it's not recommended yet...
Unless you run as CGI which I wouldn't recommend for anything in this
world... It's much slower, and the computer is slowed down noticably after
about 50 requests... At least it was like that for me with my old setup...

Thanks for the tips, but there's one thing I should point out - I won't 
actually be using Apache with my online domains (at least, I don't think 
so). I'm just going to use it on my computer to preview and test web 
pages before I publish them to my websites, which are hosted by ISP's 
that use Apache servers.

But if I'm using it only locally, and I also have PHP on my computer, 
then I should probably take your advice and download Apache 1.3.

I'm not really sure what I'm talking about (yet), but it should become 
clearer once I get Apache installed!

Nothing wrong with having 3 versions of Apache 1.3 and 5 or so of Apache 2..
.:) I got PHP4.3.4, 3.0.17, 5.0RC1-dev, at least 5 different perl versions,
two versions of TCL, same with python, I got Apache modules for all of these
as well... Sure isn't nessecary, but I'm sure learning lots from it...

Use full uri. But the user needs to be online while viewing the xls file.

Web archive is a simple textfile (zipped if I remember well) very 
similar to multipart emails. To see how it looks save a spreadsheet in

[PHP] Did I choose the correct download?

[Freedomware]

My operating system is Windows XP Pro. I was advised to download Apache 
1.3 if I want to work with PHP, so I went to 
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and found the Apache 1.3 download 
section.

It offered the following choices:

* Unix Source: apache_1.3.29.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5]
* Unix Source: apache_1.3.29.tar.Z [PGP] [MD5]
* Win32 Binary (Self extracting): 
apache_1.3.29-win32-x86-no_src.exe [PGP] [MD5]
* Other files

I assumed Win32 was for all Windows programs, but the first line of the 
README file says, "Apache is an HTTP server, originally designed for 
Unix systems. This is the version of Apache for Microsoft Windows 2000, 
NT, 98, and 95 systems."

Why doesn't it mention Windows XP? Do I need to download another program?

[PHP] Apache - Previewing Pages with Dreamweaver

[Freedomware]

Well, I downloaded Apache and PHP, installed Apache, and was had a bunch 
of questions to ask - until I tested Apache and discovered it's already 
working!

I go into Start Programs, then click Control Apache Server > Start, and 
the little black window opens. I click  to close it.

But before I wade through all the documentation, I thought I might speed 
things up by cutting to the chase. My first goal is to be able to 
preview web pages made with Dreamweaver on my new Apache server. Then 
I'll install PHP and get it up and running.

In preparation for using Apache/PHP, I began listing PHP/MySQL as the 
testing server in my site definitions. (Apache isn't listed as a choice.)

That screwed things up immediately, but I could access my pages by 
simply accessing a web page I created with links to all the websites on 
my computer.

Now that I have Apache installed, I need to figure out what I have to 
fix in either Apache or Dreamweaver so that I can preview pages directly 
in Dreamweaver.

The URL prefix for each of my defined websites is http://localhost/

I just discovered that if I try to preview the home page of a website 
that has NOT been defined, I get the following message:

"To preview pages containing server-side code, you need a testing 
server. Would you like to specify one now?"

If I go through the process, choosing PHP/MySQL, I get an error message. 
But if I cancel out of the process, the page defaults to the correct 
URL, such as file:///C:/sites/geobop/index.php or 
file:///C:/sites/geobop/index.php

So here are three questions:

1. Do I need to fix something in Dreamweaver or Apache?

2. When everything's correctly set up, should the URL's of web pages on 
my computer begin with file:///C:/sites/ or "localhost"?

3. Since my testing server is PHP/MySQL, does that mean I won't be able 
to preview my pages at all until I've also installed PHP?

Thanks.

Hi,

It works. I decided to add .html to the list of extensions that will be

[PHP] I am totally nuts/banana. Please somebody help me with an include problem.

[Webmaster]

Hello,

please can somebody help me. I am going nuts.
Really I am close to totally freaking out.

I have a problem that seems minor and ridiculous but cost me already 3
working days.

I have a working php/mysql homepage and used to use Ommnihttpd until 3 days
ago.
I installed the latest versions of Apache and php4 3 days ago on Windows
2000.

No matter what I do my script can not include another file from a directory
on the same level in the directory tree.

I have the following directory structure:

c:\webpage\classes\_dentonaproject\page_dentona.class.php
c:\webpage\classes\design\page.class.php

In the file page_dentona.class.php the first line says the following:

require_once('../design/page.class.php');

The following error message comes up:

 Warning: main(../design/page.class.php): failed to open stream: No such
file or directory in
D:\dentona_new\classes\_dentonaproject\page_dentona.class.php on line 2

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../design/page.class.php'
(include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in
D:\dentona_new\classes\_dentonaproject\page_dentona.class.php on line 2


I wrote a test.php file in the _dentonaproject directory:



and put this into the design directory:



and it works fine.

What could be the problem. Really I am getting grey hair.
Is there ANYTHING in the php.ini file httpd.conf that could cause this?

I looked them over about 50 times.
Thx webmaster

Have you tried putting the full path in the include or require

[PHP] PHP Installation Questions

[Freedomware]

I'm running Windows XP Pro and just installed Apache 1.3. It appears to 
be running, so I guess I'm ready to install PHP.

I visited http://snaps.php.net and downloaded the latest PHP program - 
CVS (5.0.x-dev). I'm reading the installation instructions at 
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-src/win32/install.txt and find them fairly 
confusing.

First, it says, "There are two main ways to install PHP for Windows: 
either manually or by using the InstallShield installer."

I definitely want to do it the easy way, but how do I access the 
InstallShield installer?

But it appears that I first have to do two other things:

1. Stop Apache

2. Decide whether I want to install PHP as a CGI or something else (a 
module?)

So how do I stop Apache, and should I install PHP as a CGI or choose the 
other option? I'm going to be using PHP on websites, primarily to make 
server side includes and, eventually, to do some work with databases.

The instructions say, "Once the installation has completed the installer 
will inform you if you need to restart your system, restart the server, 
or just start using PHP."

I assume this refers to using the InstallShield, which renders just 
about everything else on the installation instructions page moot, right?

If I use the InstallShield, will I still have to install the Windows 
extensions, or are they installed automatically?

Later, the instructions talk about Installing PHP on Windows with Apache 
1.3.x. It says, "There are two ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 
1.3.x on Windows. One is to use the CGI binary (php.exe), the other is 
to use the Apache module dll. In either case you need to stop the Apache 
server, and edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf to configure Apache to work 
with PHP. We'll refer to either of these files with httpd.conf in the text."

Is this all done automatically if I use the InstallShield?

Thanks.

The problem here is that you are using forward slashes ( / ) when your 
operating system uses back slashes ( \ ) to distinguish directories.

If you change your include statement so that is uses back slashes ( \ ), 
it should work.

  I don't want to sound like a jerk, but most of the questions you have 
been asking are thoroughly documented on places like the PHP and Apache 
websites, and in the README files.  This list is here to help, but it's 
best if you do a bit of research first before posting a question to it. 
 Check the documentation of the app you have a question about first, if 
you don't find the answer there, try Google, if still no luck, then this 
list is a good "next stop".  As for your questions

That should not be a problem -- PHP translates for you if necessary.  In
fact, it's probably better to use forward slashes since (a) it's portable
between platforms and (b) you don't have to worry about escaping backslashes
in double quotes.

Cheers!

Re: [PHP] How do I write to an XML file

[memoimyself]

Hello Tim,

On 12 Jan 2004 at 17:50, Tim Burgan wrote:

Writing to an XML file works the same way as writing to any other file: you need to 
open 
the file with fopen(), append to or overwrite the file contents with fwrite(), and 
close the 
file with fclose().

However, In order to do something useful with the XML in your files, you'll also want 
to 
read the file right after opening it (i.e. before writing anything to it), parse the 
XML, insert 
new elements/attributes/text nodes into the XML, and then write that to the file.

The XML parsing and manipulating can be accomplished with the DOM XML functions  
(see chapter XXIV of the function reference section of the PHP manual) or the XML 
Parser (Expat) functions (see chapter CXI of the function reference section of the PHP 
manual). Both sets of functions are PHP extensions, which means they are not enabled 
by default; on *nix systems, you need to compile these extensions when installing PHP, 
 
and on Windows systems you need to enable the extensions in the php.ini file.

Alternatively, if you cannot or don't want to install/reinstall PHP on the web server 
you're 
going to use, you can use PHP classes that emulate the DOM XML extension. The best 
ones I know of are miniXML (http://minixml.psychogenic.com) and Domit! 
(http://www.engageinteractive.com/domit/); both are free and come with fairly good 
documentation that will explain how to use them. There probably are a couple of 
classes out there to do Expat-style (chunk by chunk) parsing, but in your case you'll 
probably want to stick with DOM-style parsing.

Good luck,

Erik

H... I can't locate a file named httpd.conf, but the conf folder 
contains two files named httpd and httpd.default, which appear to be

They both end with this:

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#
#ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

#ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log

#
* * * * * * * * * *

So I'm assuming you're teling me to change it to this:

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.

Right? And do you think I should do it to the httpd file, the 
httpd.default file or both?

There really should be one named httpd.conf.. Otherwise, that might be the
one named httpd if you have extensions on filenames off (not recommended in
any way)... Also, it should be
LoadModule php5_module C:/PHP/php5Apache.dll
sorry, my misstake.. :)

Depends on the configuration of your server. Apache as standard will
run as "nobody", so when files are uploaded that is who owns them -
nobody. This user has very limited access rights and you won't be able
to move the files to anywhere that isn't pretty wide open.

Some hosts (well, Pair Networks at least) offer a PHP wrapping script,
which allows you to run PHP scripts as your local user, so you can
upload files anywhere - this is what I use and it's great.

Alternatively, you could upload them to a temp directory (within your
web root) and use a CRON job to move them where you really want them
at set intervals, again if executed with the right permissions this
would also work.

PHP itself cannot open a web page, it's a server-side language and
doesn't have any control over the client like that.

What it can do however is echo out the HTML required to make it
happen. Either some JavaScript, or a link with the TARGET attribute
set to be $launch.

Or with PHP you could do:

Header("Location:$launch");
die;
Make sure that nothing is outputted before this is called though. The 
variable $launch should also be an absolute URL.

PHP itself cannot open a web page, it's a server-side language and
doesn't have any control over the client like that.
What it can do however is echo out the HTML required to make it
happen. Either some JavaScript, or a link with the TARGET attribute
set to be $launch.

[PHP] Re: PHP Installation Questions

[Freedomware]

H... The first installation ended with this message:

"Sorry, the software to automatically configure the Apache httpd.conf 
file has not yet been written. You will have to configure Apache 
manually. See the install txt file for more details."

It then occurred to me that I forgot to tell you that I'm installing PHP 
4.3.4; there was a problem with 5.0, so I downloaded 4.3.4 instead.

So instead of adding this to my conf/httpd file:

LoadFile C:/PHP/php5ts.dll
LoadModule php5_module C:/PHP/php5Apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
I replaced every instance of php5 with php4, so the conf/httpd file ends 
like this:

# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#
#ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
#ServerName dummy-host.example.com
#ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
#CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#
LoadFile C:/PHP/php4ts.dll
LoadModule php4_module C:/PHP/php4Apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
* * * * * * * * * *

But I get the same error message.

Then I replaced the four lines I added to the conf/httpd file with three 
lines I copied from the Installation.txt:

   LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
   AddModule mod_php4.c
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
I still get the same error message. However, on all three occasions when 
I clicked out of the error message, I got a message telling me PHP was 
successfully installed.

Do you have a hunch what I should do next? Thanks.

Is there some current timeline for php5 though? like approximate release
date, release month, anything?  We're evaluating whether or not we want to
start a new project using PHP5 or PHP4, and I'd really like to make a push
for PHP5.

This occurred to me too, but I couldn't find the thread to respond...

I think he means that the server may be returning an incorrect
Content-type header for jpeg images. IE is especially notorious for
(incorrectly) ignoring this information if it can match the file extension
to a file type registered on the local machine.

In an ideal world, all http clients should respect the Content-type header
to determine the file type. A .jpg should be Content-type: image/jpeg

Normally this is set in your server configuration. However, if they are
being served by a script that is outputting the raw data to the client,
you may need to send this header from the script.  That would explain why
Mac users see the problem only with uploaded images (did you say?).

In PHP you would set the Content-type header like so:
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

Hello,

Really I am close to totally freaking out.
I have a problem that seems minor and ridiculous but cost me already 3
working days.
I have a working php/mysql homepage and used to use Ommnihttpd until 3 days
ago.
I installed the latest versions of Apache and php4 3 days ago on Windows
2000.
No matter what I do my script can not include another file from a directory
on the same level in the directory tree.
I have the following directory structure:

c:\webpage\classes\_dentonaproject\page_dentona.class.php
c:\webpage\classes\design\page.class.php
In the file page_dentona.class.php the first line says the following:

require_once('../design/page.class.php');

You should realize that the base directory is the one where the script 
called by the browser resides. If you have file

c:\webpage\index.php

that contains

require_once('classes/_dentonaproject/page_dentona.class.php');

then in page_dentona.class.php you should still use

require_once('classes/design/page.class.php');

The working directory is c:\webpage\ in this case.

Hope this will help you.

If so please send him/her an heads up to check his/hers inbox.

that mail was resent at the 8th of january 2004.
Or if someone knows if that guy has a lot on his plate just send me an mail 
to let me know if he usually replies within the month or two months.

To open the URL in a new window, you MUST use javascript.. You can 
output a HTMP page like this:
   

  window.open('otherPage.html');

Like all things, it depends on what the function is doing.

If the function is already displaying output, then there is no need to 
return a particular value, although a habit from my C++ days (no doubt 
caused by the compiler warning: not all paths return value) is to add a 
simple return; at the end, to ensure that the function will return.

If the function is setting values, a good thing to do is to return the 
result (which will be a true or false) so you can see if the value is 
being set or not.

Classes that use PEAR return objects (usually of PEAR:Error) if there 
was an error in the class.

If all your function is doing is printing output, no need to return 
anything, since the success of the function will be apparent once you 
call it.

FWIW,

Well, that's not exactly true if the allow_url_fopen directive is enabled.
You can open Web pages just like local files:

$handle = fopen('http://www.example.com/', 'r');

Hope that helps.

Output this to a new file each time and then use a blind page refresh

$output = "

var popurl=\"$launch\"
winpops=window.open(popurl,\"\",\"width=400,height=338,toolbar,location,
directories,status,scrollbars,menubar,resizable,\")
}
openpopup()

";

if($file=fopen($pop.htm, "w")) {  //open file for writing

}

And then do this:

Header("Location:pop.htm");

From the Newbie Guide :

6. PHP is a server side scripting language.
Whatever processing PHP does takes
place BEFORE the output reaches the client.
Therefore, it is not possible to access the
users'  computer related information (OS, screen
size etc) using PHP. You need to go for
JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript
list.

[PHP] Re: PHP Installation Questions

[DvDmanDT]

Errm.. Ok, don't download the installer.. That'll just bring you more
problems.. :s The easiest way is to just download the *-win32.zip file, and
extract to c:\php, and possibly move all files cause the extraction proggy
might place them in C:\php\php-4.3.4... when you want them in C:\php... Now,
in php5, the dll's are placed somewhat different... Here's a snippet from my
httpd.conf:
###
# PHP 4
LoadFile C:/PHP/php4ts.dll
Loadmodule php4_module c:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll

# PHP 5  (deactivated)
# LoadFile D:/PHP5/php5ts.dll
# Loadmodule php5_module D:\php5\php5apache.dll

# Associate files
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


If you add them as the last lines, you don't need that AddModule line.. That
loadfile line is there to ease upgrades, you can workaround that if you move
some files...

You want:

 ...
}
You should always use isset to check if a variable is set, whether it is 
a straight variable, an array index, or an object member.

Re: [PHP] php doesn't work in html files

The facts is that EVERY html (php embeded or not) will be processed by PHP,
which is totally unnecesary and a waste of time.

The best practice is to append the .php extension to your php files. If your
your working for production you must consider that your host provider won't
agree to put his server to process every HTML as a PHP file.

Re[2]: [PHP] how to open a webpage

Depends on your meaning of the word "open" though doesn't it? :)

I think the original post meant it in the context of "pop open", as
opposed to file accessing it.

Well, we're interested in stability.  I figured since php4 had been out for
a while in "stable" form, it would be more stable than php5.  Is this the
case, or is there a good feeling that php5 will be considered "stable" in
the next couple months?

It's not free, but I use "HTTP Interceptor" for Windows which is

[PHP] to array or not to array..

[Edward Peloke]

Ok,

This is probably a basic question, I am just looking for opinions and
examples as to the best way to handle this...

I cycling through a query and displaying results to the user such as ...

usernamecan add can delete
eddieY N
frankN N
martha   Y Y

each of the 'Y's and 'N's represent a checkbox.  The user can click
checkboxes for several users then click the update button.  When they click
the update button, I then need to loop through and make updates to the table
for each client.  What is the best way to handle this?  Should these values
be put into a multidemensional array keyed off the users id then loop
through the array to insert into the table?  Should I not use an array and
just someone loop through the results?

Thanks,

So, should I write that header to the actual image file prior to the image
itself?

:)

I'll admit that while IE is incorrect for ignoring this information, I think
it is also important for browsers to be flexible enough to understand what a
file means to make the experience for the end user smooth.

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] compile php

[shawn_milochik]

Easy solution:  Use wget.
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

If you're not familiar with wget, you can Google or e-mail me.  Basically,
a command of:
wget www.yahoo.com
results in an HTTP request to Yahoo and you will find an index.html in the
directory from which you ran the command.  In your case, you don't
care about the resulting file.  What you care about is that your page can
be requested, causing your PHP to run.  ;o)

Alternately, you can do something horribly clumsy, like having merak call
"iexplore.exe http://localhost/myPage.php";, but that's ugly, and you
don't want dozens of browser windows to build up on your webserver.

I'm assuming that you're using a Windows server due to your reference to
"exe" files.  If I got that wrong, wget is still your answer -- it's an old
Unix command, available also on Linux, FreeBSD, and, I imagine, Mac, since
it's now a BSD.

Please post your results to the group, in case they might me useful to
someone.

Note:  You can just drop the .exe files from that unxutils .zip file into
your windows\system32 directory.

[PHP] MySQL query

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

   I need to query for record within a certain date stamp.  The 
datetime field contains the createdon information that i need and is in 
the following format:  2004-01-11 21:40:50

   What I'd like to do is search for records that are between 
2004-01-09 and 2004-01-04.  The time is to be ignored, just the date is 
what I need to search by.  Is there a way to do this within an sql 
query, or do I have to do some PHP processing of the datetime field to 
get what I need?

Actually sorry, inverse the seconds (put the 00:00:00 onto the lower
date, the 4th) so it encompasses the whole period. You might actually
be able to not even include the seconds, try it and see what happens.

You'll want to do it in the query, although PHP could help a little.

Even though you want the time to be ignored, the easiest way to do this is
to actually search from 2004-01-09 00:00:00 through 2004-01-04 23:59:59.
Since the "00:00:00" and "23:59:59" are "constants" you can just have PHP
add them to the date string or hard code them into your query. Given that
format, the query would be as simple as:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE datetimefield BETWEEN $start AND $end

Where $start is "2004-01-09 00:00:00" and $end is "2004-01-04 23:59:59"

If you don't want to do that processing, then you'll need to use another
method.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE TO_DAYS(datetimefield) BETWEEN TO_DAYS($start) AND
TO_DAYS($end)

Where $start is "2004-01-09" and $end is "2004-01-04".

There are other methods, too, but the end results is you need to take your
"datetimefield" and get it into the same format as $start and $end.

If you're using MySQL 4.1, there is a DATE() function (I think) that'll
allow you to do this:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE DATE(datetimefield) BETWEEN $start AND $end

Where $start is "2004-01-09" and $end is "2004-01-04".

Hope that helps.

   Assume I don't know what those dates are.  I need to search based on 
whatever the current date is, and search between 2 and 7 days back.  The 
dates in my previous post were simply an example.

[PHP] Installing Preconfigured Packaged Over Apache

[Freedomware]

I was able to install Apache fairly easily, and it appears to be 
working, but PHP is way over my head. So I downloaded a preconfigured 
package called XAMPP, from http://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-en.html

The specs say it includes Apache 2.0.48, which I was told is not good 
for working with PHP; I understand Apache 1.3.29  (the one I installed) 
is best.

So can I install a preconfigured package with Apache 2.0.48 over Apache 
1.3.29, without removing Apache 1.3.29? If so, what's the best way to 
proceed? Is there a simple way to switch the PHP connection from Apache 
2 to Apache 1.3, after which I would uninstall Apache 2 (after I get 
Apache 1.3 and PHP up and running)?

Thanks.

Should have said that in the first place. :)

SELECT * FROM table WHERE TO_DAYS(datetimefield) BETWEEN TO_DAYS(CURDATE() -
INTERVAL 2 DAY) AND TO_DAYS(CURDATE())

The "2" in the query can be a PHP variable ranging from 2 - 7, if you want.

Thanks Shawn,

That works great, I am messing myself up, however because I am using
checkboxes so when I run this, if I have unchecked the checkbox, the value
doesn't come through and I want an unchecked box to be 0 for example so I
may need some javascript...

[PHP] Globals problem - $_REQUEST good solution?

[Ryan A]

Hi,
I am getting some variable from another program an the main problem is its
coming mixed...
eg:
some get and some post

So far I have coded this with register globals on because I didnt know which
way it was coming..
now i want to do it with globals off...

After going through the manual trying to find an answer I came accross
$_REQUEST, is this a good
solution? because I have never used this before or is this as bad as having
globals on?

Thanks,
-Ryan

Can only one option be checked per user (like can add has to either be

not just use radio input types.

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
the user can).

Re: [PHP] to array or not to array..

[Justin Patrin]

The way I deal with this is one of two ways. An easy way is to populate 
hidden fields in the page with the indexes of the users, thwn loop 
through those, checking the indexes of the arrays sent back.


User 5 

User 7 
Another is to loop through, say, records from the DB and use their IDs 
for the indexes of the arrays.

[PHP] permissions with bash scripts in php?

[Jas]

Something I have never tried... seems fairly straight-forward but I am 
running into problems.

My problem is that I need to call system to restart a daemon service 
like so...

$cmd = "/path/to/shell/script/script.sh";
system($cmd . " &> /tmp/error ");
?>

Script contains this command...
#!/bin/bash
/path/to/dhcpd -cf /path/to/config/dhcpd
So far so good right?  I mean it works from a command line so why not 
from php.  Lets check some permissions...
httpd as Apache:Apache
script.sh as Apache:Apache

Upon inspection of 'error file' in /tmp I find this...

unable to create icmp socket: Operation not permitted
Can't create new lease file: Permission denied
And...

Can't bind to dhcp address: Permission denied
Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
bootp in /etc/inetd.conf.   Also make sure you
are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
includes a bootp server.
So lets set a sticky bit on the script.sh and /path/to/config/dhcpd
$> chmod 1777 /path/to/config/dhcpd
$> chmod 1777 script.sh
So far so good but I am still recieving the same error, if anyone has 
some good tips on what would be the most efficient & SECURE way of 
starting this service please point me to the tutorial Thanks a ton.

I just picked up on this thread.. but you can just initialize the variable
as 0, then if the box is checked it will have the new value. What's wrong
with this?

[PHP] class design question

[rogue]

hi there.

i am working out the finishing touches on a authentication class that 
uses mysql to store the time of last access and some other goodies.

my question is, when developing a class that uses a database, what is 
the best way to handle the database bit? for now i just set the 
connection in an .inc file and include that in the class, but there has 
got to be a better way - especially for portability sake.

thanks for any suggestions.

is the apache user and group able to run the script from the command line? I
know under rh9, you have to be root to start / stop / restart just about all
the services.

Just an idea.

Just tried that and I am getting the same error.  I guess what I am 
really looking for is a way to have apache restart the service without 
adding the apache user in the 'sudoers' file.

RE: [PHP] class design question

[Giz]

If you're going to the trouble of making an authentication class, you should
consider also using a database connection class, and modifying your
authentication class to make use of it.  You might want to roll your own,
although there are numerous classes that already exist.  

As for "portability" I'm not a big fan of designing for it where databases
are concerned.  People always talk about portability, but how often do they
move applications from one database to another?  The reality is relational
databases have many differences, and many different contention and locking
schemes.  I firmly believe in using the best features available in any
database I'm developing for.  

With that said, adodb is a well known database portability library that has
been around for a long time and been used in many projects.  I personally
like the simplicity of ez_sql which can be found here:
