No, due to some browsers waiting for all a complete document object 
before outputting text. Even with browsers that will parse and 
display a partial feed, you really can't achieve a smooth effect due 
to network latency. The best thing to do is to work with JavaScript 
and CSS. Look into the setTimeout() function in JavaScript and use it 
to step through different color values for your text using CSS.

Or, just use an animated gif.

I guess its for make use of cookie's secure option. (Send cookie only when
encryption (SSL) is enabled)
I haven't look into code, so I can be wrong.

Your suggestions returned a parse error:  I don't know.. I'm new to this.
You said something about file(), could you explain that?  Maybe that's the
problem.

<?
if($formSubmit) {
$newsSubmit = file("news.txt");
$fp = fopen("news.txt", 'a');
fwrite($fp, $frmName);
fclose($newsSubmit);
} else {
include ("newsForm.php");
}
?>

---

---

All the variables are true.  When I "post" the information to a nother file from
the form, it works.

This is the form script, if you're wondering..

<HTML>
<TITLE>Submit news</TITLE>
<BODY>
<form action="newSubmit.php" method="post">
 <td>Name:</td>
 <td><input type="text" name="frmName" size="24"><br>
<td>Email:</td>
 <td><input type="text" name="email" size="24"><br>
<td>Subject:</td>
 <td><input type="text" name="subject" size="24"><br>
Message:
<textarea name="message" rows="8" cols="70"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name ="formSubmit value="Submit">
</BODY>
</HTML>

I've been trying to compile php4 on Windows.

Almost there, but I haven't figured out how to resolve this, except to yank
COM stuff out of the source.

Haven't figured out how to compile oci8 either, but that's secondary to the
initial obstical.

With RC1 and the latest snaps, there are unresolved symboles in the compile:

Linking...
   Creating library ..\Debug/php4nts_debug.lib and object
..\Debug/php4nts_debug.exp
internal_functions_win32.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
_VARIANT_module_entry
COM.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _php_char_to_OLECHAR
COM.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _php_OLECHAR_to_char
COM.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _php_pval_to_variant
COM.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _php_variant_to_pval
..\Debug\php4nts_debug.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Please enlighten me.

Thanks,

-Joe

Anyone know why I get this warning?

Warning: Bad escape sequence: \. in validate.inc.php on line 142

CODE:
Line 142: if (!eregi("index\.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
blah blah blah;
}

I didn't know there was any other escape sequence possible in RegEx!

I have error reporting set to
error_reporting(32+16+8+4+2+1);

and that's pretty picky error reporting. Still, I don't get what's wrong.

In a way, there is another "escape": using square braces.

eregi("index[.]php",$PHP_SELF)

Hi all.

Firstly apoligies to those on the list who receive every email to the
general list in their inbox like I do :-)

I've just spent a rather frustrating five days (15hrs/day) trying to compile
php 4 for use both at the command line and within apache 1.3.12
(openssl/mod_ssl).

I've scanned the lists and internet looking for solutions to the issue
outlined in the subject above and have found the following solution, which I
am posting for future refernce, so hopefully it will help others.  This is
the procedure I used to produce the php binary (CGI) but the mods to build
the apache stuff are minimal.

I haven't tested either of these yet but I think there are 2 options for the
apache side of things:
FOR APXS:
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs (or wherever your apache source tree
is)
FOR STATIC?:
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 (or wherever your apache source tree is)

Add either line to the Build_php4 script below.

If anything in here looks really wrong can somebody please modify it
accordingly and repost it.

If this is considered an inappropriate post, can somebody let me know a
better place to put it (or even better a Web Site to put it on).

The issue is with PHP not being able to find the compress and uncompress
routines when calling/compiling using the MySQL libmysqlclient library.
The 2 routines in questions belong to the Zlib compression.
(The nm tool can be used to show that the routines are marked as "UNDEF"
which means they are from another externally called library)

The scenario/setup
------------------
SCO Openserver 5.0.5
mysql-3.23.28-gamma
php-4.0.4pl1 (although I tried 4.0pl2 as well)
apache_1.3.12
zlib_1.1.2

Everything I build is from /usr/local/Build
I use /usr/local (the default) for the --prefix option to configure scripts.
I also have things like GD, OpenSSL, Mod_SSL, BerkeleyDB (what a drama) and
a whole bunch of stuff froim the SCO Skunkware brigade
(http://www.sco.com/skunkware).

What I did (My scripts etc)
----------
The first tricky thing I found was to ensure that programs could find the
libraries when required.  Much searching of the NET came up with some things
I have put into a script:

-------/usr/local/bin/LD.sh-------
#!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/local/lib/mys
ql
LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/local/lib/mysql
SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/local/lib/mysql

if [ -f /usr/local/openlink/openlink.sh ]; then
  . /usr/local/openlink/openlink.sh
fi

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBPATH SHLIB_PATH
------------------------------------------

I note that by default SCO looks for libraries in /lib and /usr/lib.
Creating symbolic links from /usr/local/lib etc into /usr/lib also seems to
work, rather than the variables.
I am not a C programmer so I have no real idea what the 3 environment
variables are and I believe that there is another one called LD_RUN_PATH as
well, but I don't seem to need it.
On the apache front, I modified my apachectl startup script to call this
script with ". /usr/local/bin/LD.sh" (the dot is crucial) to import the
variables into the script before starting apache so apache can find the
libraries and openlink stuff as well.
For Linux users this stuff is unnecessary (I think) as you can modify
/etc/ld.so.conf to add any non standard directory like /usr/local/mysql/lib
(the default I think).
Then run ldconfig to rebuild the list (I can't remember if a reboot is
necessary but I don't think so) and voila, linux can find the libraries
required.

MYSQL
- with zlib compression enabled
- my libz.* files reside in /usr/local/lib

Configured MySQL ready to run make with the following script:
---------Build_mysql------------
rm -f config.cache
./configure \
  --prefix=/usr/local \
  --enable-assembler \
  --enable-large-files \
  --without-debug \
  --with-comment \
  --without-bench \
  --with-named-z-libs=z \
  --with-berkely-db=/usr/local
--------------------------------

PHP4
1) I modified the PHP configure script (using information from a previous
post regarding modifying Makefiles) to add -lz (to have PHP include the Zlib
libraries any time is uses mysql).
In my case the relevant lines were:
25577
Changed From MYSQL_SHARED_LIBADD="-lmysqlclient $MYSQL_SHARED_LIBADD"
Changed To MYSQL_SHARED_LIBADD="-lmysqlclient -lz $MYSQL_SHARED_LIBADD"
25657
Changed From LIBS="-lmysqlclient $LIBS"
Changed To LIBS="-lmysqlclient -lz $LIBS"

2) Configured PHP ready to run make with the following script:
Most of the stuff is irrelevant to the issue and some of the options are
ignored, but I haven't work out which ones yet.
I think having the with-openlink line means the the without-iodbc line is
ignored.

---------Build_php4-------------
rm -f config.cache
./configure \
  --with-openlink \
  --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local \
  --with-dbm \
  --with-mysql=/usr/local \
  --without-iodbc \
  --enable-discard-path=yes \
  --enable-magic-quotes=yes \
  --enable-track-vars=yes \
  --enable-memory-limit \
  --enable-trans-sid \
  --enable-versioning \
  --enable-shared=yes \
  --enable-static=no \
  --disable-pear \
  --disable-xml \
  --disable-bcmath \
  --disable-calendar \
  --without-gd \
  --without-cybercash \
  --without-mod-dav \
  --without-gdbm \
  --without-ndbm \
  --without-db2 \
  --without-db3 \
  --without-cdb \
  --without-dom \
  --without-gettext \
  --without-hyperwave \
  --without-icap \
  --without-imap \
  --without-ldap \
  --without-mcal \
  --without-mcrypt \
  --without-mhash \
  --without-custom-odbc \
  --without-pdflib
--------------------------------

The php binary when installed (in mycase) in /usr/local/bin works and
preforms all of the SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE stuff I have thrown at it so far.

It you run the ldd command on it you get this.

# ldd /usr/local/bin/php

dynamic linker: /usr/local/bin/php: file loaded: /usr/lib/libiodbc.so
dynamic linker: /usr/local/bin/php: file loaded:
/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so10
dynamic linker: /usr/local/bin/php: file loaded: /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1
dynamic linker: /usr/local/bin/php: file loaded: /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
dynamic linker: /usr/local/bin/php: file loaded: /usr/lib/libc.so.1

NOTES:
There is probably a whole lot of stuff that is a bit wrong with what I have
done above, but a functioning binary was all I was after.  I would
appreciate any feedback on this.

Okey, sorry about that.

Communicating with a servlet via http is not different from other
php-http-methods:

For example:

# First declare some parameters which shall be sent to the Servlet/JSP

$eqid = '1';
$oparameter = 'tablist';
$nocolumn = '1';

$request = '?eqid=' . urlencode($eqid);
$request .= '&oparameter=' . urlencode($oparameter);
$request .= '&nocolumn=' . urlencode($nocolumn);

# Then it is just a simple as reading a file via http (NOTE! the client does
not care whether it is a file or a stream)

# To be able to access the server I must also submit a userId and a pwd.

$elements =
file("http://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/servlets/XQuery".$request);

Then all you have to do is to iterate the returned array (there are many way
ie: for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($elements); $i++)).


If you want to split the stream with a RE you can try to use a method like
this one:

function readandsplit($filename, $separator) {
   $fd = fopen($filename, "r");
   $contents = "";
   $chunksize = 1000;
   do {
    $tmpstr = fread ($fd, $chunksize);
    $contents = $contents.$tmpstr;
   } while (strlen($tmpstr) == $chunksize);
   fclose($fd);

   # And for example use the preg_split-method which takes the RE and splits
the string
   $elements=preg_split($separator, $contents);

   return($elements);
}

I am having some problems getting PDF support enabled with PHP4.04pl1

Using FreeBSD 4.2, Apache 1.3.9, PHP4.04pl1 and Pdflib 3.0

When doing a PHP ./configure, I see :

  Checking whether to include Pdflib 3.x support... /usr/local yes
  (and)
  creating ext/pdf/Makefile

when doing a make, I see:

  making all in pdf

When doing a make install, I see:

  Making install in pdf

But when running the standard example code through MS I.E 5.5, I see 

  Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new()
  in /usr/www/htdocs/index.html on line 6

Anyone any ideas on this one ?

Regards

Phil.

Is it possible?

Have anyone made a script that allows you to grab a file from another URL directly 
from the server so that you don't need to download the file and upload it again?

fseek will help. With it you con move the pointer to the file beginning.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fseek.php will have details.

Hi!
I wonder if it is possible to delete a file using unlink and a time
function.
I wont the file to be automtically unlinked after a month.

I am very thankful for any help.

Regards
Jan Grafstrom

Joe,

I love you!! (In a 'Happy I now have something working' sort of way of
course)  :)

It hasn't finished (it's still running now), but it is sure going *alot*
further
than it had before.

There is a timeout, that should halt a script if it runs too long.  If you
can, check
php.ini
set max_execution_time to something greater than 30 seconds, see if that
helps.

Thank you Michael. I will look for mime_mail classes.

I know this is completely stupid but how can i take something with a single
quote '  and replace it in the string with \'

Ex:
Bain's Deli
to
Bain\'s Deli

$fieldcontents = strtr($fieldcontents, "'", "\\\'"); -or-
$fieldcontents = strtr($fieldcontents, "'", "\\'");
doesn't work. I feel dumb, but my brain isn't going yet this morning.

Thanks,
ken

Nevermind, stumbled across addslashes().

What a wonderful language. :)

Yo!
Does anyone know how I can change a line in a textfile?
I want to find a specific line, and then change it a bit...

Hi!

This is what you want:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php


The preg_replace-method uses a ordinary RE to search and replace.




Hoppas det går vägen!

I'm thinking about building a PHP script that loads an entire database on a 
weekly basis, based on a text catalog.

The reason I'm doing it, it's because the catalog is too generic and has 
lots off stuff to be done in it (such as lots of string replacements and 
'fixing') before I can really parse it and create the insert statements.

The doubt I have is this: it's kinda of BIG catalog, I'm talking about more 
than 20MB of text files, and I have to 'clean' the whole DB and load it 
entirely again (I don't make the rules, this is how it works)...
I'm worried about the time it will take and the memory it'll cost, so I was 
thinking of a step-by-step solution, like break the process into several 
'steps' that of course would be carried out automatically.

Like I'd have
<?php
do this this this and that
reload the page to go to the next step
?>

So... just by reloading the page, I get a good 'memory cleaning' so I can 
be sure everything is going to get carried out??... there are steps that 
I'm worried about taking over 30min to finish, like loading the main table 
with 140.000 rows...

thanks...

I don't know exactly what you are asking.

But I'm running a script as we speak that is pulling 75000+ rows from
an oracle database over ODBC (from a remote server) and creating
a table in a local mysql database, dumping all records into it.

> Have you looked into javascript/java?

This client has worked up a Power Point slide presentation that he wants 
me to duplicate on the web.  I had a PHP solution that was working fine, 
but then he decided to jazz up his Power Point presentation some.  The 
adding a single line of text at time didn't seem to complicated so I was 
going to see if I could find a PHP solution to it that would work with 
all browsers.  But now he's decided that he wants motion involved with 
it too, so I guess I'll start learning a little more about FLASH.  I did 
discover I have an Adobe program I have can use to create FLASH files so 
I guess I'll try that route and just warn him that he may be eliminating 
some web visitors this way (actually I'll probably keep the old PHP 
slide show and give them an option). 

Thanks everyone for your input into this.
Greg

Is it just me, or do parse errors get reported by the engine even if you use
your own error handler?

I've registered my own error handler with "set_error_handler()", but it
doesn't get called on parse errors -- the manual seems to hint that this is
the case (without actually saying it), and I searched the list archives and
came across someone who hacked the PHP source to make parse errors get
passed to the error handler. Anyone know for sure?

Dean.
