Don't worry about quotes - the problem is that you have HTML markup inside
your <textarea>. You just need to convert < and > to < and >,
respectively, in your link text. The functions htmlspecialchars() or
strip_tags() can do this for you.
i.e.:
<?
echo "<textarea>" . htmlspecialchars($link) . "</textarea>";
?>
When the form is submitted (and when it's viewed), those entities will be
converted back to their real characters automatically by the browser.
Cheers

Simon-
Thanks for the tip...I trued using the htmlspecialchars() which allowed the
remainder of the form to display properly, but left no value in the
textarea. Then I noticed a difference in the method I was using compared to
yours - I'm still learning the ways of PHP so it will take me a while to
determine the significance of the syntax differences:
Mine: <td width = "60%"><?php echo $linkurl . '<br><textarea
value="htmlspecialchars($linkurl)"></textarea></td>\n' ?>
Yours: <?php echo "<textarea>" . htmlspecialchars($link) . "</textarea>" ?>
I wanted a graphical representation of the present link displayed above the
textarea and then attempted to use php's substitution to build the text area
within the same string. I updated my code to be more like yours and arrived
at:
<?php echo $linkurl . '<br><form>'?><?php echo "<textarea>" .
htmlspecialchars($linkurl) . "</textarea>\n"?>
which seems to make the parser behave as I intended.
Anyway...thanks!

Is it necessary to include the 'http:' in the DB field?
It would make your life a lot easier to drop it.
You would then store the url values as
www.mydomain.com
Then, modify your code to add the 'HTTP' whenever it encounter a URL, or
wherever you will create a link.
This would eliminate the need to deal with special characters...

Ah, the HTML <TEXTAREA> element does not support a VALUE attribute so your
way will not work. :)
Unlike <INPUT> tags, the contents (value) of a textarea should be inserted
between the <textarea>...</textarea> tags, rather than as an attribute.
Hence what you need is:
<td width="60%"><?php echo $linkurl . "<br><textarea>" .
htmlspecialchars($linkurl) . "</textarea></td>\n"; ?>
In the outputted HTML this will give you:
<td width="60%"><a href="http://www.blah.com">Blah</a><br><textarea><a
href="http://www.blah.com">Blah</a></textarea>
Which should render as a link, followed by a textarea with the HTML code for
that link. If you want the first link to render as code as well then you
need to run it through htmlspecialchars() too.

No it wouldn't, as the http:// is not the problem, the problem is the HTML
markup. What Paul could do is have two DB fields, for the URL and the link
text, and then form the <A> tag at runtime instead of in the data. But this
maybe is not what he wants.
Eg
<?php
$linkurl = "http://www.blah.com";
$linktext = "Blah";
echo "<a href=\"$linkurl\">$linktext</a>";
?>

Why store the html in the db? Why not have multiple db fields, say url and desc
then when you grab them from the db to be outputed put them into the html
print '<A HREF="'.$url.'">'.$desc.'</A>';
Then you wouldn't have to input all the html when it gets stored in the db, not
have to worry about quotes, or htmlspecialchars();. Also out of curiosity are
you stripping all tags but <A> from the input? Wouldn't want to get any nasty
users inputting <META> refresh tags or anything...

Karl's version of Parkinson's Law: Work expands to exceed the time alloted it.
This must be why you guys get paid the big $$ <g>. I _never_ thought of
looking at the HTML for errors, doh! Given the nature of the user who will
be inputting the data (familiar with HTML) I will probable keep this
'quick-n-dirty' for now - I do like the multiple fields concept for future
mods as it will allow for less-HTML literate users to easily build their
links.
Thanks a bunch!

Hey...Bruno from Brazil :)
Try this
while ( list ( $key,$value ) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS) ) {
echo "$key: $value<br>";
}
This will list every variable that was past to the browser.
Enjoy!

Actually, you may not have to do all that.
you can use implode().
By default, implode will join an array, with the supplied character.
So, if you have
$list = (one two three four);
you can do
$all = implode("," , $list);
to get
$all = "one,two,three,four";
This works pretty well...
enjoy!

a quite neat (though maybe no more efficient) way would be ...
$keys = array_keys($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$key_list = array();
foreach($keys as $fred)
{ $key_list() = $fred."='".$HTTP_POST_VARS[$fred]."'";
}
$updateString=$updateString.implode(",", $key_list)."'";
... I haven't tested the detail of this but the theory is sound, I'm fairly
sure.

Your syntax is a bit convoluted there :-P
You could just do:
<?php
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $var => $value)
{
$vars[] = "$key=$value";
}
echo implode(",", $vars);
?>
I've created a simple form that uploads file to my server. I noticed that
I'm having problems when I use Internet Explorer 4.5 and 5.0 on the Mac (I
haven't checked it yet on the pc). It may have something to do with the path
to the file. When I use Netscape, the entire path is displayed in the form
field prior to upload. IE only displays the file name, no path. Is there a
way that I could force the path along, echo maybe?

Hi, I'm trying to disable phplib, and I have a .htaccess file consisting of the line
php_value auto_prepend_file none
And now I'm getting a 500 internal server error. Can anybody shed some light
on what I'm doing wrong?

It sounds like your Apache configuration does not allow the php_value
directive to appear in an .htaccess file. Check your error_log for a
description of the problem.
In httpd.conf (or access.conf) find an applicable <Directory> block and
check the setting of AllowOverride.
I'm not actually sure what the override setting you need is, but you could
try Options or just All.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#allowoverride
Example:
<Directory /www/htdocs>
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>
Of course, if you're able to edit httpd.conf then you could just put the
php_value directive directly in there. :)

I'm not sure what is the original function design of session_destory().
Committing that, my code does not delete currently registered session data
from memory. This result in writing currently registered session write to
session database again unless programmer explicitly unregister them.
If you want to delete session data in memory, you can do that in
pg_session_destory() or anywhere in you can use
session_unset() to unset all session variables.
User session handlers are called in this order.
session is started explicitly or implicitly
then pg_session_open() called and data is read using pg_session_read()
at that time programmer can see session variables. (If programer
calls my pg_session_destory() it only deletes data in db and
data is still in memory)
connection is closed.
pg_session_write() is called (since session data is in memory, write back
to
session database)
then pg_session_close() is called.
I thought deleting only session data in database would give more freedom
to programmers while working session variables. It might be better to put
session_unset() in pg_session_destory(), if it suppose to.

Hi!
I have used your postgresql session functions in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php with few changes.
I have a login.php page that register 3 things
- the pg_connect string,
- a login flag to indicate that we already have done the login
- actual time
In a second php page I test
- if login variable is set, if not I redirect to the login page.
- if time has expired, if affirmative redirect to login page
I have added a "pg_session_destroy" in your "user functions" to delete the
actual session but when
I reenter in the login page the session_start() re-creates the data I have
just deleted with the same session_id.
I would like to know how to issue a new session without closing the browser?
What did I missed?
- Working with php 4.0.4
- php.ini contains
session.auto_start Off
session.cache_expire 180
session.cache_limiter nocache
session.cookie_domain no value
session.cookie_lifetime 0
session.cookie_path /
session.cookie_secure Off
session.entropy_file no value
session.entropy_length 0
session.gc_maxlifetime 60
session.gc_probability 1
session.name PHPSESSID
session.referer_check no value
session.save_handler user
session.save_path /tmp
session.serialize_handler php
session.use_cookies On
- track_vars and gpc_globals are not enabled

Hello,
I've been reading a LOT on how to solve my problem today, but haven't been
able to come up with anything yet.
Here's my problem:
I have an html file that contains many table rows like this:
<tr><td>Item1</td><td>Item1 Again</td></tr>
<tr><td>Item2</td><td>Item2 Again</td></tr>
<tr><td>Item3</tr><td>Item3 Again</td></tr>
<tr><td>Item4</tr><td>Item4 Again</td></tr>
And so on. I want to search this html for a table row that has 'Item3' in
the first cell. And the second cell should contain 'Item3 Again'. I know
that I can do this with something like this:
$file = fopen("http://localhost/html.html", "r");
$data = fread($file, 10000);
$results = eregi("<tr><td>Item3</tr><td>Item3 Again</td></tr>", $data);
However, this won't exactly work for me, because that contents of the
second cell will change daily, so tomorrow, the third table row could look
like this:
<tr><td>Item3</td><td>Item3 Has Changed</td></tr>
I was thinking I could use sscanf() to do this, but couldn't get anything
to work. I've tried everything I can think of.
Sorry if the explanation of my problem was hard to understand, I don't
exactly understand it myself. Thanks everybody!!!
Regards,
Tyler Longren
Maybe something along the lines of:
$results = eregi("<tr><td>Item3</tr><td>[a-Z 0-9]</td></tr>", $data);

You just need to use a regular expression with eregi:
<?php
$data = "<tr><td>Item3</td><td>Item3 Has Changed</td></tr>";
eregi("<tr><td>([^>]+)</tr><td>([^>]+)</td></tr>", $data, $regs);
echo $regs[1]; // "Item3"
echo $regs[2]; // "Item3 Has Changed"
?>
A good guide to regular expressions (which are absolutely indispensible if
you want to do much work with strings) is here:

hi there.
is there a way to tell crontab to do:
"run script every 5 mins for 1 hour"..
i have this mass email script that is so huge that i need it to chunk into
records and make sure that it will run every 5 mins for 1 hour.
Thanks for any help.
put a sleep(300); at the end of your while() loop - I did this on my mass
mailer and it worked like a charm.

Yup, it will...
A good idea is to call exec() of a cgi script which sends email without time
outs.
CGI has it cute feature - never times out. I've seen it in some software.

The array is formed before the page is called. This is then passed to the
page which prints it out.

remove []...

use isset($action1) and isset($action2) to test each.
the nice way to do it would be for them to have the same name but different
values as you would do with alternative submit buttons, but I haven't ever
needed to find out how to do that and doesn't seem to be quite that simple.

Hi...
I have a file, say temp.txt. It's just a kind of logging file. When my
system write one line data to this file, is there any real time way to know
this event from php (or other scripting language) ?

from PHP - now, but you can set a script which will check the file size each
minute and if finds it different does something.
It will have to run under cron.

In fact the Maintainers of the PDFlib-Extension in PHP change from PHP
4.0.5. That means, that those functions, already mentioned in the manual
will work from then on I guess. I also wondered why those functions are
mentioned, although they do not work yet.
The fix you mentioned, was not really correct, because the
comment-parser at php.net replaces the <?php with <?php to avoid
trouble with html-tags I guess. The fix describes there was just how to
do an example pdf with for example php4.0.4pl1 and pdflib 3.0.3, because
there is no pdf_new() in this versions. it worked fine for me and I hate
the thought of changing my just finished pdf-project to the new
functions.
you'll find a short text about pdflib and php 4.0.5 at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php
There is a small text with the heading "Confusion with old PDFlib
Versions".

I tried to check if teh field has set a vaule in it before submit using isset with the
sniplet below
if ((isset($AgeChild))=="false") {
$AgeChild = "NA";
}
The resule is that it always displays NA whether or not it has vaule in the field,
what is the correct way of using isset for this purpose? Or should I use empty() ?

if you removed the quotes around "false" it should work (as currently
"false" is being treated as a string) but another way to do this is
like :
// if not set then ...
if ( !isset($AgeChild) ) {
$AgeChild = 'NA';
}

isset(): generally spoken, returns true if a variable is _defined_,
regardless of it's actual value:
isset($myvar) => returns false
empty($myvar) => returns true
$myvar = "something";
isset($myvar) => returns true
empty($myvar) => returns false
$myvar = "";
isset($myvar) => returns true
empty($myvar) => returns true
unset($myvar);
isset($myvar) => returns false
empty($myvar) => returns true
My advice: avoid comparing to false or true (and since these are constants,
don't put them in quotes ;->).
// bad way
if (isset($myvar) == false)
// better way
if (!isset($myvar))

If the result is always something, for instance in the worth case it is
'N/A'
then do:
if($AgeChild != 'N/A')
you can continue
isset check if the variable has at least a byte in it.
so this will return true:
$var = ' ';
if(isset($var))
echo 'got something in it';
Just check for what you know is inside (or not inside) the variable.

People
I tried to check if teh field has set a vaule in it before submit using
isset with the sniplet below
if ((isset($AgeChild))=="false") {
$AgeChild = "NA";
}
The resule is that it always displays NA whether or not it has vaule in the
field, what is the correct way of using isset for this purpose? Or should I
use empty() ?

Yes. It allows cache proxies to cache the page. That means e.g. if Joe X
(using ISP Y) fetches that page, *all* users of ISP Y will get the same
page afterwards (including all his private data).
Well, in practice proxies won't cache results of POST queries, but it's
still a big security hole (never trust programs you don't admin yourself)

if (preg_match ('/\.(gif|jpg)$/i', $filename, $matches))
{
echo "Congratulations, it's a " . $matches [1] . "!<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Wrong file type!<br>";
}
Explanation:
/.../ are the "regular expression quotes", i.e. the real expression is
between these slashes
The "i" after them means "do a case insensitive match" (a "pattern
modifier")
\.(gif|jpg) means "match if the string contains a dot followed by either
"gif" or "jpg""
The dot has to be escaped (prepended with a backslash) because a dot in a
regexp has a special meaning: "match any char". The escaping makes it
behave as a literal dot
The "$" means "here has to be the end of the string" (an "anchor")
=> the entire pattern means
"match if the string ends with a dot followed by either 'gif' or 'jpg',
and ignore case for this"

Hi,
I wondered if anyone knew what would be the better method to use to see if a file has
been sent/uploaded?
method 1:
if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name'] != "none" && $HTTP_POST_FILES['file'] != "") {
method 2:
if (@$fp = fopen($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],"r")) {
method 2 seems to work better, and seeing as I have to open the file on the next line
testing to see if its there seemed the better way to do it?
How can I find out how long my scripts take to execute?
I'm currently using..
$stimer = timer();
// code ......
$etimer = timer();
echo "\n\nPage processed in: ". ($etimer-$stimer);
Function timer() {
$milli = explode(" ", microtime());
return $milli[0];
}
Which works but is their a better way to do it?
Thanks,
Matt

=> it is sent as is, the browser sees a tag that's unknown to him and
simply ignores it. I.e. that doesn't work.
Use the proper HTML entities for the brackets:

Nope unfortunately that does not work :(
Firstly using MAX() will not work as that finds the largest value in the
group; SUM() would be more appropriate as it finds the total for that column
in the group. But you can't group the data here (you want to select all page
rows from the table) so these grouping functions are not usable.
He will need to do two queries:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT SUM(hitcount) FROM pages");
list($totalhits) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT (hitcount / $totalhits) * 100 AS
percentage FROM pages");
?>
I think...

That explains the 0.
$confidential == "yes"
This is a little tricky. The numeric value of 'yes' is 0, so it
evaluates to the same thing as 0 == 0, which is true. True has a
numeric value of 1, although all values besides 0 are considered true.
You might want to look at the === operator which checks that both the
value and the type of the operands is identical.

Hi,
how can I determine size of directory with subdirectories? if I see
at "ls -l" it returns directory size 4096. I want to know how large
is directory (with files into) without looping all files ...
thanx,

Hi!
Check ou this website:
THe problem is that when u Click on anyof the links on
the left..
Currently only the Equity link..It will check for a
cookie in your browser, if cookie is found then It''ll
show u the content but if not found it'll redirect to
lohin.php page.
Before redirecting it will also store a cookie in the
browser named camefrom.
SO then On the login.php page a user enters username
and pasword and Submits.. if user is found then It has
to get the Cookie value like this:
$goto = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['camefrom'];
header ("Location: $goto");
but the problem is that it goes back to login.php
instead of equity.php
Si there any possible reason for this..?
Thanx!
Cheers!~

What does it mean when I get the line 'posix_getpwnam(username) failed with
"Error number not set" in /xx.php3 on line ##' printed? It doesn't return
anything anymore.
