It would look something like this (unfinished, using comments instead of
real code in a few places:
<?php
if(!isset($_GET['height'])){

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var height = //resolution height
var width = //resolution width
document.location.href = document.location.href + "?height=" + height +

Actually you'd get:
%59 %08
because date() does not use percent signs in the formatting. However, and I
think this is what you're thinking about, DATE_FORMAT() in MySQL does use
the percent signs like you've demonstrated.

Lindsey,
For starters,
Does your session code rely on cookies being enabled on the client side?
Or do you pass the session around in the URL?
If < 4.2.0, was PHP compiled with enable_trans_sid
Or is it >= 4.2.0?
I have no idea what MSN8 is -- I thought MSIE was up to about 6, but
I'm a mac user, so maybe you're talking about something else?
My *guess* is that you're on php < 4.2, and you're relying on cookies
for sessions.
For any user with cookies turned off, the session will break.

In an effort to improve security on a server that has many sites, I was hoping
to disable http_uploads in php.ini then enable it in one site with either an
.htaccess:
php_value http_uploads on
or in httpd.conf with
<Directory "/path/to/dir">
php_value http_uploads on
</Directory>
however neither of these are successfully overriding the php.ini value.
Any ideas?

Ummm -- I can find no documentation for an "http_uploads" directive, not even in the
php.ini-dist file. Are you perchance thinking of the file_uploads setting?
Cheers!

couldn't you just get the Java to request a PHP file with it's version
as a GET parameter? that, along with the IP address, should tell you
which browser is doing the reading (except behind large firewalls...),
and allow you to set a variable in your database, or however you're
doing it.
the OS is usually included in the browser identification string.

Hi all,
I have encountered a "tricky" problem with PHP 4.3.1 (installed with
SuSE 8.2).
I don't know if it is a bug or not. Maybe is just me missing something.
What I'd like to do is to pass a reference of "base_class" instance to the
constructor of "second_class" (so that the newly created "second_class"
instance can
call methods from the "base_class" instance.
It seems that if "base_class" constructor directly calls its method
"create()" (that is
responsible of creating the "second_class" instance, passing _$this_ as
constructor
argument) the second_class gets a "copy" of "base_class" instance and
not the real thing.
To test it, I have added an array ($arr) in the base_class and set a
value into it.
If "second_class" really have a reference to the "real" base_class
instance, it should be
able to print its contents, but this just doesn't work.
Please, notice that if in the following code you remove the line
"$this->create()"
in the base_class constructor and add the commented line in the main
body, everything
works fine.
What I am really missing?
Please, help!
Ciao,
Fabio
---- CODE STARTS HERE ------------------------------------------
<?php
class base_class
{
var $arr;
var $class;
function base_class ()
{
$this->arr = array ();
$this->class = false;
// it seems to create another "instance" of base_class
$this->create (); // this line does not work
}
function set ( $val )
{
$this->arr [] = $val;
}
function create ()
{
$this->class = new second_class ( $this );
}

And the error is strange because you're doing
something strange!
What do you want to do ? Be able to access base_class
stuff from second_class ? If so :
<?php
class base_class {
function base_class() { do something ... ; }
var $some = 200;
};
class second_class {
var $foo;
function second_class(&$oref) //constructor
{
$this->foo = &$oref;
}
};
$base = new base_class;
$second = new second_class($base);
$second->foo->some = 100;
// here it is, base_class' some is accessible
?>

I don't think I'm doing anything strange. What I have exposed here is a
simplification of my own class loader. I have the main class that must
load (include and then instance) other PHP classes.
The problem is that if I do instance other classes in the loader
constructor they get a "copy" of the loader instance and not the real
instance reference.
[some your code snipped]
$base = new base_class;
$second = new second_class($base);
$second->foo->some = 100;
// here it is, base_class' some is accessible
I know. If you give a closer look to my own code, you'll see that there
is a line (commented) doing almost the same thing as you. But I need
something else.
Infact, look at the end of my code, there are these two lines:
$b = new base_class ();
// $b->create (); // This line works
if I instance the base_class and outside the constructor i do the create
(as shown in the second line) everything works. And I am actually just
sending ($this) as the argument (look inside the create method code),
in exactly the same way I was doing in the base_class constructor.
The problem is that inside the constructur THE SAME CODE DOES NOT WORK.
I think it's a bug. I have worked around it by doing the two calls, but
I would like to know if it is a real bug or just me doing something wrong.

That code (looked closely) confirms you're doing
something strange :)
A constructor cannot call (or rather should not call)
"itself" while being constructed. It leads to
"unexpected" results.
So technically in some cases you might be able to get
it, but on most occassions you won't, it depends on
how your class is made. And yours recurses, I'm
presuming you wanted that for some reason (??)
On almost all times your data will be still pointing
to your base class (second_class).
So i'm afraid your method is not reliable, dangerous
none the less.
The reliable and correct way of doing it is after your
constructor has finished your class and made it ready
(guaranteed), then you can do what you want to.

Please download it and try installing it - actually Krysalis Foundation
is integrated in Komplete and we know that the installer is build for easy
installation (you could try installing on a Windows machine for maximum
installation speed, as on Linux you might need to install some modules to
PHP - and this means compiling them)

I believe in community and helping people out, if someone is struggling
then I try to help.
When you have been developing for several years it is much easier to produce
code as you have the experience and also the tools. Someone who is just
starting to learn a language it is hard to understand what to do, and
probably scared of trying new things. To have someone provide a bit of code
to help, gives someone confidence to move on. I also have to product code
quickly and sometimes I do not know where to start, manuals are a start, but
usually they do not give the code to do specific things.
My process is: -
Look in a manual
Search the web
PHP websites and newgroups
Then post on a newsgroup
My thought is someone out there has had a simular problem, and solved it,
then hopefully they will share the solution.

While sometimes a new perspective is extremely useful on a topic, I think
the problem is that a huge percentage of people don't try for themselves. If
they've done all the steps in the proposed message, then it tells you to
send a message explaining where you're at to the list.
While it can be pretentious to send someone to the manual if they say "I
read the manual, I can't figure it out", if they haven't even tried doing it
for themselves yet, then it's a very viable first recommendation.
Not to mention that there's MANY different points of views on many different
topics in the list archives that very few people seem to search.
Someone should always try to help themselves first before they start asking
other people to do the work for them. It's just laziness to not even try
before asking.
My suggestion would be to have that message sent to a person just after
signing up once, instead of to everyone on a regular basis though.

Personally, I think one of the worst replies someone on the list can do when
someone new asks a question is send only a link to the manual. It's
presumption that everyone will understand the way the manual is worded.
There have been times when it's confused me and I needed another perspective

more than a link to the manual, don't reply to it.

Subject: [PHP] [Newbie Guide] For the benefits of new members
I have been following this list for the past 1 year. I find it very useful.
Just by following the discussions for a couple of months one can understand
a
great deal about PHP.
What I proposed to do is to send this mail to the list every week. Those who
do not want to be bothered just filter out the [Newbie Guide] mails. Please
feel free to add more points and send to the list.
====================================================
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual
first. You can download a copy and use it offline also.
2. If you can not get answer here try http://www.google.com next. Try
searching for "php YOUR QUERY" and you may be lucky to get an answer within
the first 10 results.
3. Glancing through the list archive at http://www.php.net/archives, should
answer almost all common problems.
4. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong,
instead
of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful
trick is to print the variable, sql query using print or echo command and
check whether you get what you expected.
After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following
steps 1,2 & 3) and ask for help in the list.
5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like
"Help!!", "A Question" etc.
6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing
list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replyting to an existing
thread and replacing the subject and body with your message.
Hope you have a good time programming with PHP.
Best regards,

The best way to combat this is to *say* that you've RTFM and don't
understand it -- this should stop you getting simple RTFM answers. If you
can be fairly precise about what's confusing you, then you should get good,
focussed answers. You might even get a manual editor tuning in who can
improve the manual in the light of your comments.
If I respond with a link to the manual, it's usually because I think the
manual says it as well as (or better than) I can -- not through laziness.
But, yes, I have over 20 years' experience of reading (and writing!)
manuals, and sometimes I may overestimate the usefulness of a manual page to
a beginner -- so I won't be offended if you come back from RTFM-ing and say
something like "I read that, but I don't understand x because y -- could you
explain a bit further, please?".
Cheers!

And don't forget, the user-added notes at the bottom of the functions pages
are extremely useful to see actual code usage along with tips or potential

Those alone offer countless user-generated examples that are usually similar
to content that people on the list might generate.

Hi all,
I’m stuck with this one:
I have an checkout procedure: when people come to the overview page(step
2), they get:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output
started at
/usr/local/www/vhosts/aurelis.org/htdocs/header_aurelis.php:95) in
/usr/local/www/vhosts/aurelis.org/htdocs/store/includes/functions/get_ca
rtID.php on line 14
header_aurelis.php is where actual html output starts (template)
i had a similar problem in my cart. I solved this by adding at the top
of my script:
$cookie = GetCartId();
This doesn’t do the trick now :-(
For your convenience i put the code here:
http://www.aurelis.org/store/checkout_form.txt
and a handler file:

Hi ermelir,
Thanks for your quick response!
The http://www.aurelis.org/store/checkout_form.txt file shows in the
browser with an empty first line: It may be an browser glitch. There's
actually no space in the php file, i.e. it starts at line 1 with <?.
I still receive the error. Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Hi,
the problem is your empty first line:
HTML header will be send if you call a function that send code to client
browser (ex echo or print function) or if you have a empty line between
php
tags. for ex if you have
--------- begin code
<?php
...
?>
-------- end code
the empty first line is send to browser, so the HTML headers are send
to;
remove this line, you won't have errors any more

You already have had the right answer, but I think you could consider
adding this line at the top of your PHP script:
ob_start( "ob_gzhandler" );
this enables HTML compression (on browsers that support it) and allows a
much more flexible headers handling because text is sent back to the
browser when your page is complete.

Hi,
I am using $_SESSION and each php page has session_start() Session
Handling is working fine, except for one problem: when I close my
browser and re-open it again, I am still logged in.
I tested the log in and log out functions and they work fine.
How can I terminate a session when the user closes the browser?
All the while I thought a new session will be initiated when a new

check that the session.cookie_lifetime hasn't been extended in php.ini,

I am doing a 'readdir' on a subdirectory. I did my file naming counting on
it ordering based on numbering... But when I do the readdir it isn't doing
it. My naming convention 002_2003_66.jpg would indicate the 66th picture for
the month of Feb in 2003. This gave me automatic sorting. So I thought. But
it doesn't seem to be doing it. The server is a linux server
((IStop/Doncaster consulting) and I don't see why the ordering is screwing
up. I checked the create dates and that isn't the ordering choosen (I have
pictures from July showing up between pictures from March).
Thoughts, suggestions?

Just sort the $imgFiles array.

You can't predict what order the files will be presented in when you do a
readdir -- you'll probably find they're in the same order you get when you
do a raw 'ls' command with no sorting options, which depends on how the OS
allocates space to store directory information (which almost certainly isn't
in the order files are created!). To get them in the order you want, just
sort them in PHP.
The filename format you've chosen is also not good for sorting -- it may be
ok for this year, but when you start creating files in 2004, you'll probably
get an order like:
001_2003_01
001_2003_02
001_2004_01
001_2004_02
002_2003_01
002_2003_02
002_2004_01
002_2004_02
etc.
(i.e. all files for January, subsorted by year, subsubsorted by image
number; then files for February, by year, by image no.; then March, etc.).
I would recommend a format more like yyyy_mm_nn (e.g. 2003_08_66 for 66th
image in August 2003).
Cheers!

hmm.. this wont sort properly:
002_2003_66.jpg
002_2004_66.jpg
003_2003_66.jpg
Use YEAR_MONTH_NUMBER.jpg
also,

Hi,
I am trying to create an HTML form that has several image buttons on it
and the resulting action depends on which button is pressed.
I first tried using <input type="image" name="test" src="...."> but from
IE on the PHP side I only get $_POST['test_x'] and $_POST['test_y']
defined. I therefore don't know which of the buttons on the form was
actually pressed.
I then tried using the <button type="submit" name="test"
value="mytest"><img src="..."></button>
The buttons render fine but when pressed I get $_POST['test'] being the
HTML code between the <button></button> tags and not the value="mytest"
that I defined. (In Mozilla I get the result as expected).
Is there are a better way of doing this? All I want is to know which
button has been clicked on the form. (The form has to be method=POST)

What do you mean you don't know what button was pressed? You have 'test_x'
and 'test_y' so you know the "test" button was pressed. If you give the
other buttons a different name, you'll have different _x and _y variable
names, so you can still tell which one was pressed.

Then on the form processing script:

Yes, I should have specified more accurately. I have quite a few of
these buttons on one page (approx 30) and really wanted to have the same
name="" for each one and only the value change. The reasoning for that
is most parts of the page are generated from cached content due to heavy
processing requirements on making the whole page.
It is therefore quite difficult for me to change it to something like a
series of name="test1" and name="test2" for all the buttons as the form
being POST'd to would have a hard job trying to work out which names
were valid for the POSTing form.

AW

Diffucult? bah...
<form method="GET" action="page.php">
<input type="image" name="image[button1]" src="pic.gif">
<input type="image" name="image[button2]" src="pic.gif">
<input type="image" name="image[button3]" src="pic.gif">
</form>
Then, on page.php, to figure out what button was chosen, you simply use:
$button = each($_GET['image']);
Now, $button[0] or $button['key'] (whichever you want to use) will have one
of the values of "button1", "button2", or "button3" from your form.
Adapt to your needs.

I'm having trouble explaining this so please bare with me.
Say there is a form hosted on server A on a web page
Something simple like
<form action="submit.php" method="post" onSubmit="window.onunload=null;">
<input name="data" size="25" value="" /></td>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
I have the data on server B in a mysql database that needs to be inserted via that
form.
I have written a script that will grab one record and submit it via the form.
The only problem is I have to keep going back and refreshing my web page to get it to
submit another record.
Is there a way of doing this? Please note I have no access to Server A so I can't just
edit there database. Does this make sense? :)
Thanks

If I understand your question correctly it sounds like you want to
populate a database on Server A with data residing in a database on
server B via a form hosted on server A *grin*. Obviously this is
tedious, and if there are a lot of entries then I would suggest writing
a script to populate and submit the form automatically. If you are lucky
everything will be done via HTML GET method (URL parameters); however,
it is more likely that it uses the POST method. You can do some reading
into posting data via HTML request headers, or you can look and see if
there is a class that does what you want in PEAR or PHP Classes.
HTH,
Rob.

Not sure i understand fully the question...however, you can set up your
own error handling and that will allow you to do what you like with all
errors. You can also trigger your own errors (however, this is limited
to a certain type).

I have a webpage written in the latest version of PHP and need a little bit
of help with a rather pesky cache issue. Part of the source code is as
follows:
page.php
<?
echo "<meta http-equiv=pragma content=no-cache>";
echo "<meta http-equiv=expires content='-1'>";
.
.
.
echo "<embed src=filename.mp3 autostart=true>";
?>
The page does not cache (which is good), but the MP3 file does (which is
bad). Is there a way to NOT cache the MP3 file? I would like to keep the
file embedded within the page, if possible. Thanks!

I've been looking and haven't found anything on this. How do you open a file
then select a line and delete that line?

If your file isn't too large then you can use:
$lineArray = file( $pathToYourFile );
unset( $lineArray[$lineNum - 1] );
if( ($fl = fopen( $pathToYourFile, "w+" )) !== false )
{
foreach( $lineArray as $line )
{
fputs( $fl, $line );
}
fclose( $fl );
}
Note that the above has not been tested. If your file is quite large,
you will probably be better off reading in each line one at a time and
writing out the line to a temporary file when it isn't the line your are
trying to omit. Then replace the original file with the temporary file.
HTH,
Rob.

Warning: untested. This is just to give you a general idea.
$fileName = "blah.txt";
$lineToDelete = "Delete this line";
$fileArray = file( $fileName );
if(( $lineNum = array_search( $lineToDelete, $fileArray )) && ( $lineNum > 0 )) {
$firstPartArray = array_slice( $fileArray, 0, $lineNum );
$secondPartArray = array_slice( $fileArray, $lineNum + 1 );
$fileArray = array_merge( $firstPartArray, $secondPartArray );
$fp = fopen( $fileName, w+ );
fwrite( $fp, implode( '\n', $fileArray ));
}
I'm not too sure if the array_merge() is going to work. I am not sure if
the array_slice() maintains the current key in the new array. If it doesn't,
then you'll end up with jumbled file contents. If this is the case, then
you'll just need to iterate through both new arrays in turn and store the
values in a new array.
$newFileArray = array();
foreach( $firstPartArray as $value ) {
$fileArray[] = $value;
}
foreach( $secondPartArray as $value ) {
$fileArray[] = $value;
}
There might be a better way to do this, but that's the only way that I can
think of personally.

There is a function called, session_regenerate_id, for php4.3.2 and above.
Right now, it just creates a random id. Is there a way to specify the value
of the regenerated session_id? So I can record the SID before I send out
every time.
I tried,
session_id('id_generated_me');
session_start();
This code does write a new SID, but it also resets the session. Which means
I can't get the data set in the previous session.
I also tried,
session_start();
setcookie(session_name(), SID_generated_by_me );
believe it or not, this just puts another cookie in the client browser with
same "session_name". (I didn't even know that 2 cookies from the same
domain, with same session name is possible, I thought one would just replace
the other) And the session is still reading from the old cookie with the old
SID.
I search through the doc, but have no luck. Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes, the problem being that you will always start a new session
this way. You'll have to check to see if the session id already has
been setup.
if (! $_COOKIE['id_generated_me']) {
session_id('id_generated_me');
}
Although technically you can record the SID after the session_start.
session_start();
record_the_session(session_id());

Yes this legal, yet it is up to the client to determain what cookie
value to use. and very unpredictable.

I am trying to get a regex to extract the "Some" and "more text"

Hi,
I use the getdate() function to return today's date in an array. I do this
as I need to separate the day/month/year as to display them in a drop down
combo box in my form. I would like to manipulate my array as such.
1) Find the next Monday (if not already Monday); set the array to this date
2) Add 4 weeks to the above Monday and set another array to this date
any ideas?
Thanks,
Don

Hey Folks:
I'm starting to use PHP 5 on my development machine. The primary XML
parser is changing from expat to libxml. I was curious about the change,
so sought documentation of the new libxml stuff on the PHP site but
haven't been able to find any.
Perhaps someone can steer me toward such documentation and/or answer a
question.
I was thinking that the new XML parser would necessitate scripts use
different function calls. Or will the main functions and behavior remain
the same, but only the library be changed?
If the functions will indeed be different, is there some place to find
docs about these new procedures? They don't have to be great, just give
me an idea of how to start hacking something simple.
Thanks,
--Dan

Hi All-
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to properly
authenticate users using redhat php and mysql. Currently we are using
.htaccess files, but I was thinking it may be easier to manage this via
a php/mysql admin interface... I imagine plenty of authentication
schemes have been put in place but which one might be the best?
Opinions?
Thanks,
Matt

You'll need to prepend "$this->" to the function call.
class bob {
function firstFunction() {
}
function secondFunction() {
$this->firstFunction();
}
}

Apache not running as root is a good thing, but probably is... Since
it appears you are not the admin of the box, ask them to install
Webmin (http://www.webmin.org/webmin) and to give your userid access
to the ssh component.
Webmin is installed, it's just not turned on. I am the administrator of
the machine.
I think he wants to do it from Apache /only/, instead of dragging a
monitor/keyboard to the computer. But Apache is not running as root.
Yes! I want to do a php script that somehow login as root (since apache
is not running as root). Then I want it to start sshd.
I wonder how you can kill ssh. I ssh to my computer 24/7 and never
have I killed it.
I changed some settings and used "killall -HUP sshd" like I've done many
times before. Sure the session is killed, but I've been able to connect
it again... just not this time.

Hi everybody,
I have defined function
function func ($var,$val,&$struct){
// do something
}
if I call this function following way
func('a','b',NULL);
(because sometimes I don't need to set $struct)
apache process (php) crashes without saying word into log...
So, is it bug or feature.
in fact 'func' is method of class and when it's called via :: it uses
$struct otherwise not
php is compiled into httpd
apache is 1.3.27
info of my php follows
PHP Version 4.3.2
'./configure' '--with-config-file-path=/net/etc/conf'

You cannot pass NULL, where a 'reference' was
exptected, it is not legal. Just as any other
constant.
NULL is a constant.
function myfunc(&$p) { ... }

I'm attempting to read a remote file and parse it for data. The problem I've
having is that the file seems to be generated by Perl
(http://alert.dot.pima.gov/scripts/1brpssd.pl) and when I read it the
script-generated portion is not available. When I view the page with a
browser it is displayed just fine. I've tried using the built-in PHP
commands (file, fget, fopen, fsockopen) as well as the Snoopy "fetch"
classes (http://snoopy.sourceforge.net). Any ideas?
