I'm not Justin but I have a question. I would like to write a billing
database to keep track of my hours for clients. I would like to
keep track of what date I've been paid through and then create
a report for the hours that I haven't been paid for yet. How do I
-best tell the database when I've been paid
-there may be more than one entry for each day
-create a report for the dates since I was last paid
Jeff Oien
It should be just as simple as understanding the following terms and when
they should be used:
- entity
- attribute
- relationship
- cardinality
- first normal form
- second normal form
- third normal form
- fourth normal form
- boyce-codd normal form (BCNF)
- fifth normal form (could ignore this one if not going hard-core :)
The normal forms are the most important - if you know and understand them,
they will basically build a wholesome relational database for you (up to
fourth normal form) ... the only decisions to be made beyond what fourth
normal form will 'make for you' is how far you want to go in splitting up
entities...

First up, thanks to everyone for the quick replies!! Went out to lunch,
came back, lot's of replies -- thanks :)
I'll have to dig through the hard drive, and find the data stuff that i
was working on a while back, so that we can discuss a real world example.
I'll probably post it late today or tomorrow.
Justin
It seems foreach() operates much faster than equivalent while() loop.
This is result is not what I expect. Foreach() operates on copy of array and I
thought it would work a little slower than while().
Anyone has a good explanation why foreach is faster? i.e. What kind of overhead
cause this?
I'm using PHP4.0.4pl1 as Apache DSO on Linux.
and curious about this result.
Thanks.

Copies aren't necessarily copies - Zend includes a feature where a new variable
will point at the old one until something changes - if all you're doing is
reading that data, that never happens and it never needs to copy the actual
data.
Your while loop does two variable assignments in each loop and I doubt the
underlying engine is smart enough to play the same trick with the variables in
a list() assignment. Even if it was, it'd still have the difference of doing it
twice with whatever additional overhead list() imposes.
Disclaimer: This is all speculation. I could quite easily be wrong. If you want
a sure answer, take a look at the source.
Thank you for your reply, Chris.

I completly forgot about this great PHP4 feature!!
It raises another question:
Huge/large function parameter, that is passed by value, does not have to be a
reference unless programmer needs to change the value?
I changed the test code to see what happens. The result was the same. This
implies programmer should not use pass by reference unless programmer want to
change parameter. (This fact makes my PHP code cleaner :-)
Function parameter: Pass by Value and Pass by Reference.
Parameter: Single 512KB string read from /dev/urandom
Iterations: 100,000 times

Agreed. list() or/and each() must be making the difference.

I agree with you and it sound fair explanation to me.
>From now on, I decided to use foreach instead of while whenever appropriate.
I'll look into the source when I have a time.
It's a great finding to me that I don't have use "pass by reference" for large
parameters.
Thanks again.

Is the session data created? If you are using file or user session handler, you
should be able to see file or record for the session. If you are using file
session handler, what is directory permission for session data storage? Nobody
need to have write permission usually. (You are using Apache on Linux, right?)
Sounds like it is the problem to me.

Then , as I wrote previous mail, you should at least have session data files
there. (I forgot the exact name. I think it contains session id) Do you see any
session data files? Is your session id changing everytime? or you don't have
session id at all? Do you see session module info in your phpinfo? Is it
correct? Do you use E_ALL for error reporting? (You may see some errors like
oops header already sent)
Something must be wrong, since your environment is similar to that I have.

Certainly are there data files which look like "sess_sessionid" in /tmp and
changed everytime when I reload the web page. And sessoinid is the same as
the value of cookie variable, PHPSESSID. Up to this stage does things seem
to go well. I think so.
phpinfo result looks correct...almost.
*THERE'S NO HTTP_SESSION_VARS* in PHP variables!! although I used session_start()
and session_register()! It is incorrect, isn't it?
I can see session module info in my phpinfo and it is correct. ;(
Surely I set
error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
and no error/warning messages in the page.
YO> Something must be wrong, since your environment is similar to that I have.
I found something!
If I set register_globals to Off in php.ini, then session *seems* to work well.
In /tmp, session data file contains both of variable name and value and I can
use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["variable"].
BUT, as before is there no HTTP_SESSION_VARS in PHP variables section of phpinfo.
I'm so confused and think things are getting weirder. ;(

I set "register_globals = Off" for many reasons.
Session may not work with "register_globals = On"??
It may be a bug. How about post it as a bug, if you don't like it and there is
no such a bug report.

I think you might found a new bug in phpinfo().
I don't see HTTP_SESSION_VARS in PHP Variables section neither!! I didn't notice
it.
Question is 'Do developers consider this as a bug or the way it should be'.
How about post a mail to php-dev list?

I hope I can pose this question sensibly.
I'm working on an application that will supply somewhat sensitive
information to users that are authenticated against another server, and
I'd like to know how this is possible:
The user request a "home" page that will sit on an NT/IIS /ASP server, and
they will be authenticated at that time (I don't know anything about IIS, so
the details are unknown to me). This "home" page will provide a URL to
pages on my server (which runs UNIX/APACHE/PHP3). Since the user was
authenticated on the IIS server, I wondering if there is any way for the
USER_AGENT to automatically be authenticated on my server (sort of a
hand-off of the authentication between servers) , without the
necessity of re-entering a userid and password.
Security for this application is important (we're behind a firewall) but
not crucial. I'm just trying to come up with something reasonable.
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody,
I haven't made any changes to my system lately. This box is running Win2k
w/ SP1. Whenever I try to run php.exe, I get the following error:
Application popup: php.exe - Entry Point Not Found: The procedure entry
point ??_U@YAPAXI@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library
MSVCRT.dll.
Does anybody have any idea why this occurs? This also happens when I try to
run Paint Shop Pro. So it's not PHP itself. When PHP is started on boot,
the error is logged to the event log.
Anybody seen anything like this before?
Thanks,

checked in the manual but didn't see anything that would seem to help me
do this. Thanks for any help.

Wasn't this already asked and answered today? Anyhow, see the example for
readdir; you just need to expand the second example with a test (regex,
substr, whatever) that tests for .txt on the end of the filename.

Wow, that exact question was asked. Sorry everyone.
Thanks anyway.

Hi all,
I have a question about localizing PHP scripts. I understand that for basic
localization one can have a "strings" file for each language, which contains
string variables and values such as:
<?php
$title = "Welcome!";
$error = "An error occurred.";
?>
Then, in the scripts just "include" the language file at the beginning and
simply call the strings by their variable names. The issue I have is when
embedding variables within these strings. Suppose I need to call the user
by his/her first name, in the strings file I would have a variable like
this:
$greeting = "Welcome! $first_name";
The problem is, the strings file is loaded at the beginning of the script
before $first_name was set, so the $greeting string will come out as
"Welcome! ", with $first_name being an empty string. Even if I loaded the
strings file after the $first_name variable is set, the problem still
remains - when $first_name variable is changed, the strings file has to be
reloaded.
What is the best way of dealing with this problem? Is there a place to find
"best practices" on localizing PHP software?
Tao
You can use constants:
in your language file
define("HELLO", OLA);
in your script which includes the language file you can write
$greeting = HELLO . " $first_name";
print $greeting;

Have a look at the gettext extension for a (IMO more elegant) alternative.

I want to use php to call a java class to update database.

I have already specified the database driver on the java.class.path in

and have test the class can work well in dos.
Can anyone tell me where is the problem?
Thx all
Is it possible to use different parts of one php script for multiple
html forms? I am not seeing how people create multiple pages of html
forms with each form importing information from the previous form.
Right now, for each html form page I have, I create one php script to
handle it but it would be nice to have just one php script in which only
certain parts execute depending on have variables have assignments. One
way I was thinking of doing this is to have the html forms just keep
posting the information to itself whenever the submit button is hit and
then using a series of if else statements to evaluate where the program
is in relationship to the forms, would this type of system work?
What do you guys do?
-Andrew V. Romero
To reply personally, remove all numbers from address.
Use switch with includes for each step.
switch()
{
case 1:
include(filestep1.php)
break;
case 2:
include(filestep2.php)
break;
default:
include(form.php)
}
but this way you can have a hierarchy....
and possibly run form one section into the next..
switch($step)
{
case 1:
include(filestep1.php) //list products
case 2:
include(filestep2.php) //list categories
break;
default:
include(form.php) //show list of options.

Mmm, that's pretty much how I do it. You can dynamically assign values to
the Submit button as required and check the value of the Submit variable
to determine what your next action might be. Couple this with some
includes also based on the Submit value and voila.....

use if statements
if( $submit ){
print "I love Montana";
>>>put form #2 in here w/ action = $PHP_SELF make sure you set $submit2 to
some value
)
elseif( $submit2 ){
print "Part two of script";
}
else{
>>>put your form in here w/ action= $PHP_SELF
}
This is a quicky but hopefully you get the idea. Just assign values to
different variables. Post the info back to $PHP_SELF and test for the
existence of those variables in your if statements. Your single php script
could span an unlimited number of pages (as far as the end user is
concerned).

Actually - do it in the reverse order, because then you can do error
checking and gracefully "drop back" to a previous step if there's an
error.
ie:
if ($step == 3)
{
// do stuff
}
if ($step == 2)
{
// do stuff
}
if (!$step)
{
// do stuff
}

Like some mentioned, reverse-programming is kinda crucial for error
checking. About FORMS, yes you can have multiple forms aslong as the dont
mismatch, you can even assign names to the forms for them to remain
distinct.
like <form name=bla ..... > I think it might even be possible to get that
formname and then see what you do with each form. The other way round with
if statements or switches works well though.

A curiousity appeared in some code I put together almost six months ago
now. The site owner emailed me the output of our script which pulls
together a collection of $HTTP_POST_VARS, and emails them off as a plain
text document with some other information. Strewn about in one of these
emails was &#somenumber; style html escaped character. The number 61623
over and over at seemingly random locations.
Aside from mail(), trim() and some sundry case manipulation functions
I've used nothing I can think of that would cause characters to be altered
this way. Has anyone got a suggestion that might lead me in the right
direction?
Much thanks,
Rob Salmond.

If you are using Apache, have a look at the 'AddHandler imap-file map'
which apparently allows you to use server-parsed imagemap files.

Err ... did you look at the output of

I'm sure some combination of
$SCRIPT_FILENAME, $SERVER_NAME, $PHP_SELF, or REQUEST_URI is what you
want.

i'm guessing you want a create clause:
CREATE TABLE foo ( id INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, firstname
CHAR(20), age INT);
you'll want to tweak this to meet your needs, but it should do the
trick...

Use cookie for session. It seems there are some browsers that will not take
cookie on initial request, and fallback to URL mode. See notes session section

An idea is to put the session id in your web page addresses.
e.g. http://level1/level2/12123234234234234234/test.php
Then setup your web server to filter all addresses to remove the session id
from the address before it is displayed in the browser window (you can set
apache to do this) so the user won't see it.
You can then write a little code to get the session id from the address (the
full address including session should be passed to your app). And then
recreate the session etc..
I've got some code at home demonstrating this technique. I can send it to
you later of you want it.

Well, you waited about two hours. That's not much, even for a mailinglist

How do I round up a lot of decimal number like 10.232656898 to be 10.23 ? Should I use
this?
$num = 10.26564787;
$Rnum = round($num);
What would be the function I am looking for and how?

Try:
$num = 10.26564787;
$Rnum = round($num, 2);

the point is that you can't replace part of a flat file. you can append to
the content or replace it all. if you want to replace part, you need to read
it all, amend the relevant line and then replace it all.

php works server side. you cannot get user to run anything in php without
resubmitting (posting or whatever) ... you need javascript if this is
something you can do client-side, if not you'll have to live with some sort
of resubmit.

I just want every customer on my site get his own unique id as his directory
name but the pages requested are all processed by the root.
Such as: customer1's url is http://www.mysite.com/2000123/
customer2's url is http://www.mysite.com/2000124/
^^^^^^^UID
and the pages requested are actually processed by http://www.mysite.com/
I want it to implement security and personalization. I don't want to use
.php?uid=XXX because of lazy. :)
thanks.

Im new to PHP and want to know if it is possible to reference PHP scripts

If so what is the syntax?

Hi!
I'ld like to announce the availability of a database abstraction module,
called 'dbx'.
It gives you the ability to code your database-enabled php-templates once
(for a specific database), and port to a different database later by just
changing the string "odbc" to "mysql" (e.g.) once. This assumes that you
have not built database-specific SQL-statements, of course. It still
actually uses the php database modules, so they are still a requirement.
What is taken of your hands is the looping through rows and fields (for
odbc) or just through rows (mysql) to retrieve your data. It gives you the
data in an array immediately, for both odbc and mysql.
For more info, read the documentation at http://www.guidance.nl/php/dbx/doc
It's freely (well, there is a license :-) available (incl. source and
documentation) at http://www.guidance.nl/php/dbx
Limitations:
- so far it only supports the odbc and mysql module. Additional databases
could easily be supported too, so if you're a coder...
- only works with php4
- you must compile it yourself (but it compiles on Linux and Windows, I've
tried :-)
Any questions, remarks, whatever, please mail them directly to me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as I'm not subscribed to this list. I'ld be happy to
help, though!
Cheerio, Marc.

Hi
I need to execute an sql statement a certain number of times based on a users input
/* number of times to execute
$NumCases = $HTTP_POST_VARS['txtNumCases'];
/* sql to run
$GetDetails = sqlexecute("select b.accno,b.debttype, c.surname, c.initial
,c.firstname, c.id_number, c.maidenname, c.addr_line1, c.addr_line2, c.addr_line3,
c.addr_code, c.telnum, c.postaddress1, c.postaddress2, c.postaddress3, c.postpostcode,
c.bankname, c.accountnumber, c.accounttype,m.magdistrictname from bad b, client c,
magdistrict m where b.accno = c.persal and m.code = b.magdistrictcode ");
I presume i need a while loop or someting similar but im really confused as to how to
implement it.
Please note that I am running an Interbase database
Any help would be greatly appreciated
What about wrapping it in a FOR loop:
for ($counter = 1; $counter <= $NumCases; $counter++) {
// do the sql stuff
}
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.for.php)
I don't think the type of database will make any difference to this.

Hi,
I have a seious problem with the mail function. It does not send the emails.
It returns 1 but does not send them. I think it may be a problem with
sendmail permissions. Can you help me? Please.
What are the main differences of running PHP as a DSO Module or as CGI?
I had some problems running as DSO, cuz I need the mssq70 extension and
everytime I ran a script it caused a GPF in php4ts.dll. So I switched back
to CGI and the error disapeared.
I wanna know if I'm loosing something with CGI.

Hi All,
This might be a really dumb question - I'm a bit of a newbie.
I have a hosting account that provides PHP, but it hasn't been compiled with
the IMAP libraries, and I really need these functions. Is there any way to
link the IMAP lib locally (ie: without root permissions)? I've used Perl
before and know that similar is possible.
Any help is much appreciated ...
Many Thanks
James Marshall

No, you have to compile PHP with the IMAP library! Try to contact your
provider an ask if they could install the library!

In ASP, you can have something like:
<snip>
<%
select case something
case "this" do that
case "those","them" do other
case "crap","doesn't matter","whatever" do nothing
case else print error
end select
%>
</snip>
IN PHP you can't do cases like that, because like in C, u must have a
constant, not a list of them.
Is there anyway to get pass this? Doing a case for each thing even tough it
does the exact same thing as 10 others is going to get a little stupid code.

On the latest version of Apache I have heard you can run Compiled C binaries

This command works without problems on a local unix server.
However, when I tried the exact same code , $sortmail =
imap_sort($mailbox,SORTSIZE,1) on a remote imap server running on mac,
it produces problems. (no error messages)
I am unable to check the error messages as they are none. And adding on
to that, the HTML have been terminated without any error messages
without completing the entire html closing tags.
All functions works, except imap_sort?
Anyone? any ideas?

2 problems.
1. Delete the ';' after the while loop. With that there the for loop will
never run.
2. If you want to print everything, you will need to change $i =1 to
$i =0 in the for loops.

Anyway, my money is still on use strict vars . . .
-- Larry Wall in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Currently in-house our intranet is made up of Windows NT, IIS, and
ColdFusion. We've also settled on MS IE as our standard browser, and use
advanced authentication for logging into the intranet. This provides
employees with one click access to the intranet without having to manually
and physically login.
We've been tossing around the idea of switching our Intranet to Linux,
Apache and PHP but we would then lose that Advanced Atuthentication
process, no? And to even complicate it even a bit more, if accessing the
intranet internally through the network (a combination of Novell and NT)
nobody should be forced to login (it being an automatic process) but if
they access the intranet externally though the internet they have to be
prompted for their normal network login information.
Are my managers smoking crack, or do the advanced developers here think
this is do-able? And if so, where could I find more information on setting
this all up?

date( "l", $timeStamp ); // lowercase "L", or you could use "D"
Look up the date() function. The documentation is your friend.
