Yes it should be. I hope it isn't so advanced that you can't
understand what exactly I'm doing. That would rather defeat the
purpose of me writing that up.

My appologies for that, I havn't tested the site in mozilla/netscape
yet, only IE and opera. I'm actually downloading mozilla right now.

Hi,
I need some help with the copy() function in order to allow a user to upload
an image. The image will need to be in a folder that I can access it's URL
for display in a page.
The hosting company, www.dreamhost.com, isn't too helpful with my requests
for help.
I have the following code:
$webServer ="/home/campuscb/ftp.campuscorkboard.com/adimages/";
$destFile = $webServer;
$destFile .= $img1_name;
if($img1_name!=""){
copy("$img1","$destFile") or die("Couldn't copy the file");
}
else{
die("No input file specified!$img1_name");
}
Dreamhost claims I must have Anon FTP activated in order to use the copy()
function.
I went ahead and set Anon FTP setup on the server. According to the admin
panel, I have the following settings:
Path:/home/campuscb/ftp.campuscorkboard.com
Directory blocks are on except for Stor
When I run it, I get the following message in the browser:
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in
/home/.paco/campuscb/campuscorkboard.com/upload.php on line 28 Couldn't copy
the file
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James

I can confirm that the funtion works fine using php 4.3.0. on Mac OS X.
While this may not be of any help, I will test on a later install on
a test server.
Thanks,
John

Subject: [PHP] rand() function not working right
I'm using the latest php and the rand() function isn't working properly
when
giving it any min and max arguments.
It does work without anything between the () but if I put a min and max,
then only the min value always gets chosen.
Is that a bug? Is that new?
I'm not using an old php version, and it makes no difference to seed or
not.
I've switched to mt_rand() and it seems to work fine with min/max so far..

it works find with 4.3.3RC1 on unix. I'm curious if this is an OS
issue, what OS are you running php on?

Greetings People,
Now basically I am trying to set up an easy way to have key value pairs
listed in a DB, and then be able to call the name of the key as a variable
later in the code of the page and list the corresponding value in the DB. I
am almost there. However I just need to figure out some scope issues with
functions.
I want to create variables with names on the fly through a function and
have them last beyond the life of the function.
However I do not want to have to declare each key/variable as a global
variable in the function, will defeat the purpose of this.
I have the following DB table
sao_key sao_value
app_past_enroll 1
something 0
something_else 1
yet 1
I have the following function
function key_value ( $mysql ) {
if ( $sao_row = $mysql -> fetchRow() ) {
do {
${"$sao_row[0]"} = $sao_row[1]; // Create a
variablle to pull the radio variable name
} while ( $sao_row = $mysql -> fetchRow() );
}
}
I have the following code
$sql = "SELECT sao_key, sao_value FROM staff_app_options
$sao = new MySQL ( $sql ); # Create an object with the above query
key_value ( $sao );
echo 'Past Enrollment = ' . $app_past_enroll . NL;
echo 'something = ' . $something . NL;
echo 'something_else = ' . $something_else . NL;
echo 'yet = ' . $yet . NL;
So how do I get the script to read $app_past_enroll as a variable after it
has been created by the function?
Thanks for your help.

Hey all,
Nevermind this. I just solved it myself.
I found out it does not matter when you decalre a variable as global (other
than I guess before you use it)
So I made my function this way.
function key_value ( $mysql ) {
if ( $sao_row = $mysql -> fetchRow() ) {
do {
global ${"$sao_row[0]"};
${"$sao_row[0]"} = $sao_row[1]; // Create a
variablle to pull the radio variable name
} while ( $sao_row = $mysql -> fetchRow() );
}
}
and it works like a charm.

Hello,
If you want an elegant solution, you should grab Krysalis Foundation
from http://www.interakt.ro/products/Krysalis/.
It is an open platform that will allow you to easily publish content into an
XML/XSL approach, and will take all the configuration hassles away from you.
Then create site with a preferences module (see the Komplete Lite sample
for this), and then detect the user client in it using the standard PHP
server variables, and choose a set of XSL files (skin) to server your
content dynamically for the specified client.
This means that you will write the application logic once, and the
presentation layer multiple times, and everything will then function
naturally in the KRysalis MVC approach (one controller, one model, multiple
views choosed dynamically)
