[wdvltalk] RE: Looking for instant messanger script
Here, I compiled it for you... http://www.aol.com/downloads/aim.exe ;~#) j/k... I don't know of any, and based on the nature of ASP, I don't see that it would be reasonable. Both sides would have to initiate a reload of any page, or have them timed to reload. Neither would be a pretty solution. The nature of IM requires a connectioned protocol...and of course, ASP and jscript even are connection-less, out-of-scope processes. Pretty sure you're gonna need Java, at the minimum. J.R.

[wdvltalk] RE: php include oddity in foreach statement
Stephen, I'm using html-kit which is probably similar, using colour and bold to show what is happening. Of course it needs me to know what it is signifying, which is beginning to happen! But the quotes do not stand out, though sometimes the part affected is visible by being the wrong colour. But it is the old problem of when it is not there one needs to know it should be! I do seriously need to visit the optician; there is just that slight loss of definition, and I was set up with reading, monitor and other glasses, but my eyes seem to change with some regularity - sometimes the change is improvement! Code, of course, needs a high definition. --- And that has made me search to make the face larger;12pt is quite good. Perhaps I'll spot the typos more easily - and work out the script author's errors with less aggro! Code completion sound good, so I'll have a look. Off to Google..

[wdvltalk] RE: php include oddity in foreach statement
Jon, Just to update. It was a missing single quote at the end of an echo line. Now I get the error appropriate to the fact that the script can't access Amazon, which is as it should be. Cleary there is some difference, too, inside a foreach; until these variants are clear it makes fro a very furrowed brow. Still, I am at least getting close to the point I wanted to be at two months ago... Thanks for the help.

[wdvltalk] OT: Copy/Backup Software Recommendations Please
What do you folks use for your copy/backup software when copying/backing up to CD? When I bought my CD Writer I got a copy of Nero bundled free with it. Research using Google seemed to show it was the most popular. Now, however, I've discovered that it does not back-up multi-level directories! I've sent two requests to Nero to ask if there is any way round this and got the usual answer from "Technical Support" of Zilch both times!! Fortunately I found out before it was too late - but I need something that will handle multi-level directory copy and/or back-up automatically. The real reason I need this (apart from doing backups) is for the work I do for Health and Safety for small firms where I want to copy several hundred documents that are in a variety of multi-level directories to give a set to each new client. These are the basic policies, procedures and so on they will need to meet legal requirements. I have them set up in Word and automatically drop their logo (if any) into each one so they get a customised set. As Nero won't do multi levels, it takes me around an hour each time to produce the CD with everything on in a way that the client can follow the logical sequence of them when producing their own manuals. Many of my clients are barely computer literate (one or two barely literate in any form!!) so whatever I supply really does have to be the proverbial "idiot-proof" Any suggestions for an alternative would be welcome!

[wdvltalk] RE: php include oddity in foreach statement
Joseph, > And I have had to take more quotes away! PHP's quote handling is a bit strange and can take some getting to grips with :-) Strings inside double quotes are parsed, meaning you can do this sort of thing: // my pet is a cat $pet = "cat"; echo "my pet is a $pet."; Strings inside single quotes aren't parsed, so you can do this: // my pet is a $pet $pet = "cat"; echo 'my pet is a $pet.'; If you want to show the variable, you have to concatenate it: // my pet is a cat $pet = "cat"; echo 'my pet is a '. $pet; This extends to pretty much everything: // new // line echo "new\nline"; // new\nline echo 'new\nline'; Single quotes are a *tiny* bit faster, but the big advantage of using them is that you don't end up with messy escape characters. For example: echo ""; To stop the PHP interpreter thinking your echo statement ends at any of the quotes in the HTML, you have to escape them with the backslash. If you use single quotes you sidestep this neatly: echo ''; When you're accessing arrays you can use either, but again single quotes will be slightly faster: // either of these will work $foo = $bar["baz"]; $foo = $bar['baz']; Just to through a spanner in the works, there are some constants that will work in arrays without any quotes - they're easy to spot though, as they're usually in capitals (like DOCUMENT_ROOT). > unexpected $end in c:\easyphp1-7\www\books.php on line 118 > the closing '?>' is line 117 You're probably missing a semicolon somewhere :-) Cheers Jon The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

Jon,
120 apostrophes and deletions later I can confirm that that wasn't it!
Would you believe it moved on when I took the quotes away from DOCUMENT ROOT
?And wants double quotes round 'echo' strings
And I have had to take more quotes away! But now I am getting this, and I
can't remember how I solved this on other files.

[wdvltalk] Happier - a lot, but stupid php undefined function
Joseph wrote: As if the inbuilt faults weren't enough I had to develop one all by myself! The 'form' file that was giving trouble` had entirely the wrong contents!!! I had typed in a php file, which is a later part of the script. Joseph wearing dunces cap and standing in the corner. Tim: We've all been there, Joseph, no need to stand in the corner. Speaking for myself, I still do similar things occasionally and have to step back and take three deep breaths before re-attacking a non-bug. Missing tables, missing procedures, missing permissions [uh, not to mention things like the webserver not being turned on]...it's all a part of the game. All this kind of stuff can happen before you ever code a single line. :-) Tim The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.

Try sticking quotes round the array indices (the bits in square brackets):
foreach ($xml_tree['PRODUCTINFO'][0]['DETAILS'] as $product) {
You may not need then on the middle one if it's only ever numeric.
It's also worth checking your array is being filled correctly before the
foreach() - a good test is to use print_r, like this:
echo "";
print_r ($xml_tree);
echo "";

[wdvltalk] RE: php include oddity in foreach statement
Jon,
I tried that and no effect; I found a 'tyop' (which describes it perfectly)
and no effect. The file begins with two other includes which cause no
problem - even though (by error) I at first had a cut and paste of one of
those it still produced the error.
This is the foreach:
foreach ($xml_tree[PRODUCTINFO][0][DETAILS] AS $product) {
Followed by a set of lines which are variations on this cut and paste
$product_manufacturer = $product[MANUFACTURER][0][VALUE];
These are part of a script to get to Amazon. I am testing without getting
amazon codes, but I can't why that should produce this error;there is an
error report for 'service down', which I do expect to see.
