I would really appreciate some advice from anyone who has worked with or
developed their own content management system.
This is my scenario, when i have finished creating a site, i want to be able
to add in the CMS with a minimum amount of fuss. I want to be able to get
the CMS to recognize all the tables and somehow allow me to set the tables
and fields that the client can update safely (i.e. if it is an employment
recruitment site then they will be able to add jobs but not job_id). This
will save me so much time rather than having to handcode the CMS for every
site.
I think i have an answer to my problem, and would be interested to hear your
opinion. When i install the CMS it will read the existing tables and create
2 new tables:
CMS_TABLES
cms_table_id(PK)
cms_table_name
cms_table_is_editable
CMS_FIELDS
cms_field_id(PK)
cms_table_id(FK)
cms_field_name
cms_field_is_editable
cms_field_type
cms_field_size
cms_field_is_primary_key
As an administrator I will be able to set fields and tables which are
editable. Now when i go to the database management page i can do 'SELECT *
FROM CMS_FIELDS WHERE cms_table_id = '$_GET[table_id]' AND
cms_field_editable = TRUE
Also does anyone have any suggestions for editing static content?
Any comments here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It all depends on what you will do with the data... The use will dictate
the level of cleaning up.
You MUST clean it up for DB entries as you mentioned, but if you are
only going to e-mail the contents "as-is" to yourself etc, then cleaning
up the data becomes of lesser importance.

If you're going to do anything with it, then you have to validate/clean
it. This means using it in a query, writing it to a file, displaying it
back to the user, using it in an email, etc. For you're very vague
question, I'd have to say the very vague answer is that you have to
clean EVERYTHING.

I've got a multi-table query, (pulling from both an orders and an orders_products
(line items) file), and I'd like to group the output to help reduce multiple
appearances of of the product skus.
The query:
select
orders.orders_id,orders.date_purchased,orders.customers_name,orders_products.products_name,orders_products.products_model,orders_products.products_quantity,
orders_products.products_price from orders,orders_products where
orders.date_purchased='2003-01-01' and orders.orders_id=orders_products.orders_id
order by orders_products.products_model
You get output like
Order Num Order Date Product Code Product Name
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 2003-01-01 12345 product xyz
2 2003-01-01 12345 product xyz
3 2003-01-01 abcde product abc
1 2003-01-01 abcde product abc
5 2003-01-01 12345 product xyz
If I wanted to have the output grouped on any of the fields, how would I go about
doing it?
TIA

Today I collect information from several forms and store it in a cookie:
function formCookie() {
var cookieValue = document.$formName.totalAns.value+'|';
cookieValue
+=document.form1.correct.value+'$test[1]'+document.form1.question1.value+doc
ument.form1.answer.value+'|';
cookieValue

ument.form2.answer.value+'|';
<more lines>
document.cookie = '$ansCookie='+escape(cookieValue)+';expires=';
}
The problem is the cookie soon reaches the 4 kb limit, so I would like to
achieve the same using session. The trouble is, I don't know how to do. I
would appreciate any help that brings me closer to a solution on this.

have a look in the manual:

in the middle of that page are some examples, which may help you.

Hello,
Is there an easy way to change an integer to a 5 caracters string.
For example:
$i = 3 ;
$j = 110 ;
After having changed them:
$i = "00003" ;
$j = "00110" ;
Is there a php function to do so instead of doing this:
if( ($i>0)&&($i<10)) {
$i = "0000".$i ;
} else if( ($i>9)&&($i<100)) {
$i = "000".$i ;
} else if( ($i>99)&&($i<1000)) {
$i = "00".$i ;
} etc...
Thanks :-)

Hello,
Use str_pad, the manual page is available at http://www.php.net/str_pad,
a short example would be:
$i = 3;
$i = str_pad($i, 5, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
This function is described in the PHP manual in the string functions
section, the manual is an excellent place to go first when questions
such as this arise.

You're looking for the str_pad function.
http://www.php.net/str_pad
$i = 3;
$i = str_pad($i, 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
echo $i; // outputs '00003'
Just keep in mind that it won't help you if your input is greater than 5
to begin with, you'll have to check that seperately.
$j = 123456;
$j = str_pad($j, 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
echo $j; // outputs '123456'

You can also have a look at http://nl.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php

Hi,
I have a php script which does some stuff and at the end of the file I have
it include a file which has a form in it. The problem I am having is that it
is missing code. If you go down to the second input - it has a value="0"
field - this does not show up when I view the source from my browser. The
first input value= works fine.
Anyone have any ideas on this.....TIA
i.e. <? php stuff; include("theform.inc"); ?>
This is theform.inc......
<FORM ACTION="stats-write.php" action="post" name="update">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="FromPosted" value="TRUE">
<TABLE ALIGN="center" WIDTH="200">
<TR><TD COLSPAN="2"><HR SIZE="3" COLOR="#63687B"></TR></TD>
</TD></TR>
<TR><TD ID=WD CLASS="main">Player:</TD>
<TD ALIGN=right ID=WD>
<input type=text name="player" SIZE="10" value="<? echo $line['player'];

have a closer look at it!!
compare your first line:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="FromPosted" value="TRUE">
to the failing line:
<input type=text name="goals" SIZE="5" value"0">
I'm sure you can see it :)

Sorry, the line I was actually referring to is the one below. I forgot the
hidden one was even there and serves no purpose and does not resolve the
problem by removing it.
This works: <input type=text name="player" SIZE="10" value="<? echo
$line['player']; ?>">
It also works if I just hardcode a value (value="Bob")
This doesn't: <input type=text name="goals" SIZE="5" value"0">
They are both exactly the same other than the way they get their values, so
I don't see a reason why I'm losing part of the second input line. Just to
be clear, when I view the souce code I see this:
<input type=text name="goals" SIZE="5"> The value= has been stripped from
the code....
Thanks

Look really hard at that second line.. Notice anything missing? I
dont know why its stripped from your browser source but theres an
obvious mistake.

Why is it the following code produces nothing?
$responsesubmitted = FALSE;
print($responsesubmitted);
I have an if statement that says if($responsesubmitted), but it doesn't work.

--------------------[snip]--------------------
because $responsesubmitted is false :)
A "false" value is "empty", while true is "1" in PHP-speech (contrary to
languages like C where false is defined either being "!true" or "0".
In case the execution block after your if-statement doesn't get executed
this construction works just as it should.

If anyone has come across a similar problem to the one described below, and
has a solution I'd be really grateful if you can help me out.
I'm trying to implement a user authentication process where users can click
on an external link to my site. If they're not logged in they get presented
with a login dialog. Once they log in they're redirected onwards to the page
they initially wanted to visit.
The system I have in place at the moment handles authentication using
sessions. The bizarre thing is, while everything seems to work on my home pc
(windows & iis web server, php 4.2.1), on the host server (linux, apache,
php 4.1.2) I get the login screen twice before I get redirected. My hunch is
that it's something to do with when session variable become available after
registering them. (I'm using the sesssion management functions built in to
php 4).

I have seen this as well. Try using netscape or an earlier version of IE
and you will probably find it will work without issue. I posted about this
many moons ago and unfortunately didn't get a solution. I can't recall the
specifics of when it was doing it (and if I remember correctly, sometimes it
would work and sometimes it wouldn't - in the context of a members area
where sessions are used - some pages worked, others didn't - same sessions
method), but on some servers, we had no issues (exactly the same versions of
linux, php etc) and others this happens. There must have been some sort of
variation at our end, but we couldn't see it.
We upgraded to PHP Version 4.2.3, and this fixed it.
Sorry I can't give you any more info. At the time I was having the problem,
I was under a tight schedule and didn't have time to track down possible
causes. As I said, the upgrade helped us (also fixed a few mysql query
caching problems we were having too - caused a few GD ones though). My
guess is that its some sort of cookies problem with windows IE 6 (as that
was the only browser I saw the problem on).

Hi Steve,
Just out of curiosity, when you mention "implement a user authentication
process where users can click on an external link to my site" are you using
the https protocol?
I had similar bizarre behavior with IE using a "Confirmation Required'
script. Worked great at home (localhost), with apache, linux, et al, but with
IE sometimes it worked, most often not.
I finally traced the route of my problem to the https protocol. I found this
quite by mistake -- AOL, Hotmail, and Yahoo users were not being redirected
to my site. Almost exactly the same problem occurred as you describe: if I
clicked the link twice, it sometimes worked. (Btw, I lost a lot of
registrants because of this problem. I finally dumped the whole thing, and
now, users once registered, go immediately to specified areas of the site.
Apparently, with AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail users the https protocol is 'optional'
or 'premium' or somesuch idiocy!)
If you do find the root of your problem, would you be so kind as to drop me
an email with your resolution -- I'd like to get my little script to work.
Hth,
Andre

Hm. I had a similar problem. In my login verification script I would
run through a bunch of checks, verify the login/pass in the database
and if it was correct I would start a session, register the variables
and redirect the user. This wouldn't work most of the time in IE.
For some reason it always took a few tries to login. Then I moved
the call to session_start() to the beginning of the script and it
worked fine. Not sure if this applies to your problem though...

In my case, it was a https website. However, in testing, it was happening
on a normal http website as well. It was something I ruled out trying to
find the problem.

I have a customer who's webhost upgraded their server recently and a script

Check to make sure the file exists, you should probably through some

I thought about this possibility, but it turns out 4 different scripts on
the same server accessing different files from different locations and
using different methods are all failing.

HI, I'm looking to take the data from a CSV file, then upload it into a
mysql databace.
I figure i will need the following.
To count the number of lines ... and cut up each line in its veriables then
entering it into the databace.
I have:
$file = fopen("pricelist-snippet.csv","r");
$buffer = fread($file,10000);
echo $buffer;
This dumps the data to the screen ...
where would i start to making cutting this data up by the line?

I would use something like this (assuming you're just going to read the
entire file and bung it into the database).
Be careful reading large files in, it can fill up PHP's allocated memory
resource. I've used this with 4 meg files though, and its worked ok.
$fp = file("yourfile.txt");
//This reads the file into an array, each element of the array is a line.
Which you can then, test, manipulate, explode etc to put into the database.
while (list($barry, $tbone) = each($fp))
{
//barry is the index of the array element, $tbone is the value of
that element in the array.
echo"Index: $barry Value: $tbone <BR>";
//just insert into the database what you need to.
}

Change your link to something like:
<a href="view.php?file=raceschedule.pdf" ...>...</a>
view.php will NOT be a "HTML page" -- it will be responsible for:
a) some conditional stuff, like checking for a logged in user
b) output an appropriate header for the file type
c) pass through the actual file contents
You would actually want to store the target files outside the doc root, or
forbid apache to serve them directly over http.
There's a decent article here:

image.php would do simular things to what view.php does in the script below.

OK! This makes sense. What is the syntax to do
b) output an appropriate header for the file type
c) pass through the actual file contents
if I were doing an HTML file - if I were doing a PDF file?

Did you read that article? Didn't think so.
It deals with PDF, headers, and plenty of other stuff.
If you still have a question after reading the article and trying the sample

Hi,
Thanks.. i went through your reply and certainly now i
understand the mistake i was making. Quite logical
actually, that i hadn't actually selected the "title"
column. But i'm sure i wouldnt' have been able to
figure this out myself.
And surely, i too try to stay away from Numerical
Indexes.
Well thank you, this does enlighten quite a bit.

readable English language time....
I am getting data from mySQL by the "now()" function....
Please Help
Thank You.

Hi Kelvin,
You can use both PERL and PHP (prefered :-)).
You need to download, compile and install FreeTDS (http://freetds.org). If
you are using PHP you need to recompile it using --with-mssql. This will
enable the mssql extension. You can then create a php script to read the
text file, parse it and create the data in a MSSQL server on a Win32 box
(PHP is running on your AIX box).

I'm having problems figuring this out. This first way gives me a 'Fatal
Error: Cannot use [] for reading in class.php on line xx'
class myClass
{
var $arr = array();
function add_something( $value )
{
$this->$arr[] = $value; // this is the line causing the error
}
}
I've also tried using count() to find out how many items are in $arr, but it
keeps saying that $r == 0... i.e.
function add_something( $value )
{
$r = count($arr);
/*
if( is_null( $r )
{
$r = 0;
}
*/
//print( $r );
$this->$arr[$r] = $value;
}
I've tried this both with & without the commented section & still $r = 0
even if you use '$class->add_something("my value");' 50 times. I'm guessing
once this problem is solved it will work for multidimensional arrays as
well?

$this->arr[] = $value
