We are running a webform, that asks for user ID and pass, then passes it on
to a .php3 file that shows them a page to continue (not a security thing,
just a tracking thing).

This .php3 file, called login.php3 works just fine in IE but when viewed in
netscape it simply shows a white screen.  We did a "view source" and all of
the php file is there, and it doesn't show any errors (HTML errors blink in
the 'view source' with Netscape).

Any ideas why the code below is not working right in Netscape??

I don't see any closing table tags.  IE allows people to get away with
a vast number of errors in their HTML, which is why you can see it in
IE.  As per the HTML spec, closing table tags are required.

Good web design rule of thumb: Always check against Netscape.  If it
renders in Netscape, odds are it'll render in IE.  The reverse is not
true.

Try closing your table here... or putting the new table in a <td>.  Netscape
is very picky with tables.

Sounds like you may be missing a piece of a table. Make sure all your table,
tr, td type tags have a closing tag.  IE is more forgiving...

Mainly because your closing 'table' tag is missing its slash.
The duplicated 'head' and 'body' tags probably aren't helping
either.

    http://validator.w3.org/

Actually, always run sites through there, it's useful (sometimes a bit
picky.)  For things like missing table tags, it's very helpful.

I find dealing with Netscape browsers a pain.  So many people complain that
IE doesn't follow the standards, but I find it the other way around.
Especially when it comes to Stylesheets, even using CSS Level 1, which is
like 5 years old.  Netscape just plain ignores alot of attributes, or
handles them different from the spec, that it makes it such a pain getting a
page to look the same in both.  Arg

Better still, download the 'tidy' utility from the same site - or even
better, use a free editor like HTML-Kit (www.chami.com) that embeds
'tidy'

I use HTML-Kit, it's a good solid editor and there are bunches of plugins
for it (PHP, ASP, PERL, etc)
and it's freeware to boot.

Thanks for HTML-Kit, I'll try it out.

I believe <?php is needed if you want your scripts to be valid XML.

I`m writing one html class for my own usage, but I`ve got some
problems. Take a look at the example: $ht ->
row(2,'','first,second'); This works fine ('first,second' represents an
array). But now, when I want to do something like that: $ht ->
row(2,'','$something,second'); then it displays $something and second, but
I don´t want $something, rather the value of it. When I write just $ht ->
row(1,'',$something); it works as expected. 

Note: Don`t ask about the other atributes, they are not important. How
could I get it to work? If I do something like this: $ht ->
row(2,'','".$something.",second'); Then still, it echos me
".$something." and second, but not the $somethings value (and the second).

I hope you understand what I need.

Thanks in advance,

In single quotes (') variables are not evaluated. Use double quotes (") 
instead.

Use " not '

And if you can't seperate the root directorys of the secure and not secure
servers, you can setup and aliases directory under  the secure server and it
will be the only one that can see that dir.

Hi!
Does anyone know of some good examples of sessions?


--
Evelio Martínez





this is as simple and complex as it gets.

session_start;
session_register("my_var");

now say we do:

$my_var = 5;

any script, page, whatever you serve that calls $my_var will return 5.
Once you change the variable, $my_var will now be that new value in every
bit of code.

All you have to do is call session_start; on every script that will use your
session variable.

ONLY call session_register() ONCE for each of your variables. If you call it
once on one script and the variable it set to 5. And then you register is
again it will lose the value and will be reset. So, usually you test for it
in an include (which contains you session_start;).

if (!isset($my_var)) session_register("my_var");

Easy cheesey.

HI,

Pick up a copy of the "PHP Developer's Cookbook". They devoted a whole
chapter to sessions.

I just wanted to try this:

I take a link : http//www.xy.com/index.php?contents=HOME

There I echo contents

<?php echo $contents?>
<div align="center"><?php echo $contents; ?></div>

It should display HOME? But it does not !

Two possibilities I can think of:

(1) Is your echo statement above within a function? If so, you have 
to globalize it, or pass it as a function parameter:

        function zaphod($beeblebrox)
        {
        return  '<div align="center">'.
                $beeblebrox.
                '</div>';
        }

        echo zaphod($contents);
or

        function zaphod()
        {
        global $contents;
        return  '<div align="center">'.
                $contents.
                '</div>';
        }

        echo zaphod();

See
        http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php

for more info.

(2) The register_globals parameter is not set. This must be on if you 
want GET/POST/COOKIE etc. parameters to be automagically converted to 
variables. This can be set in php.ini, .htaccess, or httpd.conf, and 
can also be programmatically set and checked via ini_set() and 
ini_get(), respectively. If this is NOT set, you'll have to refer to 
your GET parameter as

        $HTTP_GET_VARS['contents']

I'm still learning PHP, but...

Why are you echoing it twice? Also, the first line, shouldn't it be:
<?php echo $contents; ?>

Looks liek you dropped the semi colon

The semicolon is optional if a closing PHP tag ("?>") follows.

I've put together a fairly simple XML parser that outputs embeded objects
as a DOM. You can see that the XML files get parsed correctly (print
"Open: $tag" etc for the proper functions..) and built the DOM correctly
(print_r ( $this->dom ) at the last close_tag () call) but even after
displaying the variable that holds the dom it for some reason resets that
variable to the previous value ( example set $this->dom = 'goatpoo' ) as
soon as it leaves that function although the other variables accessed all
keep their proper values.. this happens even if i change the name of the
dom variable. i checked and no where i can see does it rewrite that
variable. i am using an object for the parsing xml_object() or whatever
it's called sets it.. i was wondering if there might be a bug in PHP or am
I just doing something wrong? I can supply my source if you like. Thanks.

Hum... I wouldn't like it, anyway. Hmmm, is there any other way to pass
"stdin" to an external program, other than using echo and a pipe?. I've
also tried by placing echo and gpg in the php "exec dir" and chown'ing
them to the uid.gid of the php script, and it didn't work.

Thanks.

Yup, grammar error, I meant "prints to stdout" :)

Certainly, my typo in the post :)

I've seen a lot of Chatsites that run without Clientside Java, it can't be
such a weird approach,
I don't think the admins of the System the chat is going to be run on would
like an irc server on their machines.

I have a basic shopping cart setup
and I am curious as to how I go about
being able to handle real-time credit 
card transactions. I realize there are
card services like cybercash and such,
but how do I go about hooking cybercash
up to the existing cart? (the host already
has a merchant connection kit)

on standard transaction servers where you post a string containing the
transaction info (card, name, amount, login, password, etc) do the
following:

get a merchant account
sign up for authorize.net, ccnow, ibill, etc.
use an application called cURL to post the info to the server from php.
dump the returned message into any array.
look at the array and dependent on what is returned, either mark the
purchase as successful, forward them to a thank you page, update the db,
whatever and ship it.
otherwise forward to a page that says what went wrong.

this is a concise overview, as writing the actual code is beyond the scope
of this thread, especially considering you did not post the actual code it
will work with.

if you're hacking code from another app, you may just want to consider
writing a cart form scratch. it ain't hard. if you're decent with php, any
cart you write will be better than any pre-existing one. because you can
code it to fit your needs to a TEE.

anyway to make mail() function to use port 25 on a defined SMTP host
instead of the raw/direct spooling as by default as it uses sendmail on
local system, what happens when SMTP server is a different box
alltogether ?

for example:

echo('<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> function Done()
{alert("Changed!")}</SCRIPT>')
echo('<select name="myname" size="1" onchange="javascript:Done()">')

I've done this.
Once I did everything in CF.
Today, I do everything in PHP and have not looked back.  PHP is faster,
easier and far less taxing on the server than CF.

Basically, once you know the syntax and functions of PHP, converting is
pretty easy, although time consuming.  What you need to do is create the
same functionality in PHP, then you take whatever HTML you had in the CFM
files, and use that either as an include file or you can include it directly
in the PHP.  Just remember to change all those #variables# to $variables.
As long as you keep the same names, porting the sites is not that hard.
Although I feel for you since you have 500 pages to do.  Unfortunately I
don't know of any utility that can do this automatically; perhaps it's time
we who know both languages make one...

The push for a change from CF to PHP was not a monetary consideration but
the ways that PHP and CF differ.  For example, while not an 'officially'
supported product (meaning there is no 800 number to call and have your hand
held) it is MUCH easier to get help from a mailing list (such as this one)
than it is to get an answer from Allaire.  Also, either it was our
configuration (doubtful) or CF but it does not seem to be very stable on
*NIX platforms which is all that our servers run.  PHP is also more powerful
with the ability to do more in the way of functions without having to worry
about writing custom tags and then worry about somebody using them in a
malicious manner, you simply write a function and then user server side
security to lock it down in a directory that is unreachable by the public.
There were more reasons, but most of these were personal.

<back on topic>

I have been trying to think of a way to use XSLT to transform CFML in to
PHP, but since HTML and CFML are not necessarily valid XML I am not to sure
if this would work.  It would seem to me though that if you could write an
XSLT template for each CFML tag then you could do this relatively easily.
If anybody has any ideas as how to make XSLT ignore the fact that every HTML
tag does not necessarily have a closing tag I would be happy to _try_ to
write an XSLT stylesheet.

Hey Coders,

I know there's a couple premade scripts to grab weather on hotscripts.com. I wanted to 
know if anyone has a simple method to fetch the day's local weather from something 
like yahoo. All I really need is the temperature, condition (rainy, sunny)and maybe 
windspeed. If I could include the icon for the condition that would be good too. 
Anyone have a simple solution for this that I can dump into my code?

Thanks.




try http://www.gimpster.com/php/phpweather/index.php it's not simple
solution though...

Using combinations of:


$string=implode(file("http address"), "");
$array=explode("<some starter tag>", $string);
$array=explode("<some end tag>", $array[1]);

$endString=$array[0];

With the odd ereg_replace() to tweak the data you
can grab info from wherever you want.
However, you should get permission from the site,
since this would count as a hit/page view on their site.

Hello,

I'm interested in a comparison study for using PHP vs. Perl for CGI
programming.  Specifically, I'm looking for information comparing the
two in terms of speed, memory usage and efficiency.  Any information or

Thanks,

Kurt,

I fought with this same problem for about an hour today.  For me there 
was something changed when the file was downloaded that made it 
corrupt... I think it was a LF to a CR + LF or something.  I tried Dling 
the file with Lynx on a linux machine and it was still corrupt.  My fix 
was to DL the file on a windows machine and then FTP the file to my unix 
box in ASCII mode (NOT BINARY).  I don't know why or what was causing the 
problem, but that is how I fixed it.

Now I'm trying to install it ;)

Hope that helps

LOLOL

        Ya know, I get half of my business this way... they think they don't want
me to fix there site... until I send them their database dump and passwords
retrieved from invalid form checks or unsecured image directories...
Jonathan actually did this guy a favor, an embarrassing favor, but it
wouldn't have been if he had gone the right path with his complaint.

Wait, isn't that 2 lessons?

In one of your posts you posed a url to a script you were working on...and I
backed up a directory and it gave me a directory listing...one folder was
/admin/ it gave another listing...then showed phpMyAdmin and then it gave
your full db schema...no passwords or anything...i was able to insert a

Funny enough, the function you are looking for is:

urlencode();

The docs are your friend.

there's fsockopen from which you might make a telnet client, methinks, but
you'd have to know the protocol etc...

look for it at the manual.

If you are just looking for something better than the ms telnet program,
look at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/.  it is so much
better than telnet.  I don't know if that is what you mean, though.

I am trying to write a text file on my server, but I am getting the 
following error.
Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1

Here is my code for the text file.
$file = "/path/to/my/server/$userid.win";
$text = "\n";
$fp = fopen($file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $text);
fclose($fp);

I am getting this error BEFORE it tries to write the file.

Can anyone offer any ideas or solutions?

Thanks

Does anyone know how to pull a function reference from a class method?
Here's why,

class myclass(){
        var $myarray;

        function mysort() {
                /* User sort fails */
                usort($this->myarray, $this->mycompfunction);
                /* Or */
                usort($this->myarray, "mycompfunction");
        }

        function mycompfunction() {

        }
}

The sort fails because the member function mycompfunction() is not
referencable. Any ideas?

HI is it possible to do what i have shown with the 3 php files under? I want
that a variable stored in a another php file like this, and then i want to
get the stored variable  from a 3rd php file. How can i do this, i have
tried it but it does not work. When i get the variable in the 3rd php file
it is empty. It seems like i cant store variable outside the function, and
then use it in other functions in the same php file. Is that true! In JAVA
and C++ this was a piece of cake...
Thanks in advance from a frustrated student from Norway.

--------------
php file called setget.php
<?php
$temp;// I want to use this as a storing variable until i need this value by
calling the getvariable function

function setvariable($subject)// storing the variable temp
{
$temp=$subject;
}

function getvariable()//getting the variable temp with its stored value
which was set by function setvariable
{
return $temp;
}
?>
----------------------------------------------
 php file called set.php
<?php
require("setget.php");
$setvariable="subject";//seting the variable
setvariable($setvariable);//storing a value to the variable in setget.php
?>
-------------------------------------------------------
php file called get.php
<?php
require("setget.php");
$data=getvariable();
print "$data";//gettin what i stored in set.php by calling the function in

You'll want to read the section of the manual dealing with variable scope, 
especially as it relates to functions.  The section on passing by reference 
may also be of interest at this point...

Here's my script. This is a known working script when I use ASP. Why won't
is wotj with PHP.

function submitForm(f, strPage) {
 errormsg = "";

  errormsg = errormsg + "Please enter a login name.\n";
 }
 if (f.email.value.search("@") == -1 || f.email.value.search("[.*]") == -1)

Here's the button.

Any help would be great.

Pat,

Try using the escape char like this:

<input type=\"button\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Add User\"
onClick=\"submitForm(this.form, 'adduser-do.php')\" style=\"width=150\">

Because it's a pain to have error messages popping up all the time?
Here is what I do with every query I every write:


$query="yada yada";
$result=mysql_query($query, $connection);
if($result=="" || $result=="0")
{
 //if it is a page for my use, I print the error
// if it is a page for the general public, I email the
//error to myself, and print "There was a problem
//completing your request", or something like that.
 print "Error : ".mysql_error($connection)."<br>\n";
}
else
{
 while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result))
 {
  //do whatever you want to do with the data.
 }
}

I greatly prefer this to display "0 is not a mysql result index" for
everyone to see, if/when something goes wrong.

Anna





Try to put this immediately after the mysql_query:

echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>";

I think this outputs your error.

WHy PHP is not showing SQL syntax (or any) errors?

I'm using Win98Me with Apache 1.3.12 and PHP 4.x.

it works... if I run a correct query it runs normally, but if I go like:

$query="selct nonexistingfield from nonexistingtable with all crazy syntax";
mysql_query($query);

it doesn't tell me there's an error... in fact it doesn't show anything...
why is that?

Yes, I subscribe to this PHP-XML mailing list, but it is very low volume.  

I'd encourage anyone considering using XML/XSL/SOAP/RSS to join this list,
so that XML and SOAP can be easily used with a PHP web app environment.  

I've used ASP/COM when I really wanted to use PHP, but the Microsoft SOAP
servers/listeners made XML communication much easier, especially since I'm
new to SOAP.

hi

Can you tell me how to  track the current url by using PHP? for example,
Mike is visiting http://www.celebritieszones.com/showthumb/britney_spears/1/
and i wanna make a PHP script so it tells Mike that he is currently browing
http://www.celebritieszones.com/showthumb/britney_spears/1/

I tried to use

$url_array=explode("\",$REQUEST_URI);

But it didn't work. It showed Array instead of the URL when i tried to
display it.

Please help. Thanks

Of course, trying to print $url_array will print "Array".
You just turned the $REQUEST_URI string into an
array (that being what explode does).

If you want Mike to know the name of the file he's on,
print $PHP_SELF.
The info the location bar (not counting the root domain name)?
print $REQUEST_URI.
The domain name?
$HTTP_HOST

Hello everyone,

Alright, what's wrong with this script?  I just get one big blank image.
I want the script to sequentially pull up each pixel off the template image,
and copy them pixel by pixel to the second image.

Actually, what I want to do is to process the pixels BEFORE I write them,
but this
is just a test to make sure I can write them.

I don't understand why it doesn't work.  But it has something to do with my
imagecolorallocate
function, I just know it.

Mr Lynch? Anyone? :-)

Thanks
Dan

============================================================================

<?

$template = "images/alpha-shadow.jpg";
$alpha = imagecreatefromjpeg($template);
$alphasize = getimagesize($template);
$alphawidth = $alphasize[0];
$alphaheight = $alphasize[1];

$x=0;
$y=0;
$im = imagecreate (500,500);
imagecolorallocate($im,255,255,255);

while ($y <= $alphaheight){

while ($x <= $alphawidth){

$alphacolor = imagecolorat($alpha, $x, $y);

$alphaindex = imagecolorsforindex($alpha, $alphacolor);


$red = $alphaindex["red"];
$green = $alphaindex["green"];
$blue = $alphaindex["blue"];

$pixel = ImageColorAllocate($im,$red,$green,$blue);

imagesetpixel($im, $x, $y, $pixel);

imagecolordeallocate($im,$pixel);

        print("($x,$y) $red $green $blue <br>");

You might try this, putting the escape character around the userid.>

$file = "/path/to/my/server/\"$userid.win\"";


 Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1

What's in $userid?





My apologies.  I should have said what line the error was on.  The problem 
lines was $text = "\n";.  I tried an experiment and put a space before the 
\ and that got rid of the error.  Go figure.

thanks for pointing that out.  i've not had showstoppers with make

Hi All,

        Anyone wrestled with the Zend Debugger Setup.
Having downloaded the test drive of the IDE and Debugger and the test drive
license file
followed the docs to the letter. It still isnt running. once i include
zend_extention="/usr/local/Zend/ZendDebugger.so" in the php.ini file
apache wont restart.
Using Apache 1.3.14 & PHP 4.03pl1
debug mode is not enabled as the docs say so this should all work fine
also its not exactly clear where that line should be in php.ini
I have sent the query to Zend as well
but maybe the list will be quicker

Cheers
        Steven
