Personally, I hate trailing {'s
I think this
function blah()
{
switch( $bob )
{
case 1:
$var = "whatever";
break;
}
}
Is much easier to read and follow. As for the exiting question...
The "proper" way is to use the breaks. "They" say that multiple returns in
any function = bad programming. The .0001 second that it takes to break and
return the value will never matter.
Plus, you or someone else may have to add to that function later. Let's say
I wanted to add "</B>" to the end of $retval. If you use the normal way I
can just make one change, return $retval . "</B>"; instead of changing 3
different returns.

Definitely the second style :)
(If we were talking about C(++) then the first would have even been
forbidden by my companies coding standard as well as several coding
standards of other companies I worked for.)
The reason is this - a function has one entrypoint (duh) and one
exitpoint. Jumping out of a function somewhere in the middle leads to
unmaintainable code, and bugs when extending that function and that
return is overlooked. But, as with the indenting and bracket placing, it
is a matter of religion. They would have to torture me for three weeks
to get me to place the brackets like you did in your example :)
function blah()
{
$retval = "";
switch( $bob )
{
case 1:
$retval = "this";
break;
case 2:
$retval = "that";
break;
default:
$retval = "other";
break;
}
return $retval;
}

Amen! For both elimination of trailing {'s , and a good clear break.
I don't know how trailing {'s came about, but I find the blocks are harder
to follow. I consider them HIDDEN rather than trailing, but I cut my teeth
on Pascal, and FoxPro. While we're at it, how about plain old carriage
returns to terminate the line and elimination of the ";"?
I still do a fair bit of work in Visual FoxPro, where the semi-colon
indicates line continuation. Some days I introduce strange bugs when
switching from PHP to VFP, and vice versa.

Well, first I would have to say tat there are a lot of other (better)
languages then Visual FoxPro out there!!!
Check C, C++ sintax.
And to finish, I think Visual FoxPro should change there definition of the
";".

Hi,
This participates the clearest for me,
but unfortunately not usual.
if (...)
{...commands...
switch(...)
{case commands...
case commands...
case commands...
}
while(...)
{...commands...
}
}
else
{...commands...
}
it participates maybe uncomfortable to write,
however, simply to debug...
I learning be doing,
but this already many years... ;-)

coding style? here's what pear has to say :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pear.standards.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pear.standards.control.php
[ example ]
switch (condition) {
case 1:
action1;
break;
case 2:
action2;
break;
default:
defaultaction;
break;
}
[ /example ]
variables can be very useful.
return is cool too.
:)

Very strong agreement here. I think a lot of it depends on your environment.
Some have syntax highlighting and, better yet, syntax highlighting which will
prominently mark unbalanced braces, brackets, etc. Also very nice are things
like a brace-matching hotkey or options to highlight the matching open
character when you close it. If you have all of these tools to help show
syntax, I don't think you need as help from the source formatting. (The only
times I've liked having them on separate lines is when I've been working with
an editor which lacks this)
It also helps to properly indent things. I think code like this makes it pretty
easy to see which code is in which block:
if () {
...
if () {
if () {
// Do something
} else {
// Do something else
}
}
} else {
...
}
This is one thing I've always liked about Python. Forcing people to indent
consistently is a little harsh but it does have the advantage of making strange
code easier to decipher.
>(it drives me nuts to see "} else {" also)
Here, I have to differ - using anything else makes me itch.

"Any sufficiently accurate worldview is indistinguishable from cynicism"
Your coding style is not the most used..
But I must be honest and tell you that I also find the clearest way...
I also use it on all my own code.. It has got the advantage that you always
see all brackets (no need to scroll to the right to find a bracket) and if
you go down on the same horizontal position you should always find a
bracket closing your statement...

Personally I use to use:
if () {
...
}
But I found it utterly horrible to debug. I always missed a bracket, so I
switch to:
if ()
{
...
}
I find that even in multi-thousand line files I can flick my scroll mouse as
fast as I can while still being able to follow brackets using that style.
I just think it's easier to follow and clearer, but I understand why some
people don't like them. I use to hate them...until I started using them :}

Which is better?

case 2:

function blah() {

In other words, is it good practice to exit out of a block (any
block... not just switch; if, for, while) prematurely as demon-
strated in the first example? Or should you do it as demon-
strated in the second example?

I agree with your bracket style not your return policy. oh well :)

Definitely the second style :)
(If we were talking about C(++) then the first would have even been
forbidden by my companies coding standard as well as several coding
standards of other companies I worked for.)
The reason is this - a function has one entrypoint (duh) and one
exitpoint. Jumping out of a function somewhere in the middle leads to
unmaintainable code, and bugs when extending that function and that
return is overlooked. But, as with the indenting and bracket placing, it
is a matter of religion. They would have to torture me for three weeks
to get me to place the brackets like you did in your example :)
function blah()
{
$retval = "";
switch( $bob )
{
case 1:
$retval = "this";
break;
case 2:
$retval = "that";
break;
default:
$retval = "other";
break;
}
return $retval;
}

I would like to see an editor with a built in code beutifier and un-beutifier. I like
the
if (true)
{
} else
{
}
method, but pear standards are
if (true) {
} else {
}
it would be nice to see ultra edit convert it to the first format for me and save it
as the second for pear.

IMHO, I like the second. Too much real-code time to break old
habits. I don't like returning mid-method. I -really- don't like it. =)
As for the placement of braces...I like
/* return type */ function PhpFunction(params)
{
}
I'm usually not too worried about whitespace, either, so I'm all about
if (true)
{
do_something();
}
else
{
do_something_else();
}
Whitespace, IMHO, LOOKS less efficient but has the advantage of
being easier to follow/read/debug. Also more space to put in debugging
snippets
in lieu of having a real interactive debugger with a stack trace. And I've
got LOTS
of diskspace.... =)
function foo($varArray){foreach($varArray as $element){echo "this is
'tighter'\n";echo "but is it really worth it?\";} if (sizeof($varArray) ==
1){echo "1 element";}else{echo sizeof($varArray);} echo "Know what I mean,
Vern?";}

egads... it distracts me to no end to see an if-else block broken up that
way... to me seeing
if( some expression ) {
some action
} else {
some other action
}
is the most normal thing in the world.
Same goes for the { at the end of the expression, such as
for( ... ) {
}
while( ... ) {
}
function SomeFunc() {
}
That's how I've written all my C, C++, JavaScript, ColdFusion CFSCRIPT, and
now PHP.

Does PHP sport an ENUM or SET statement?
Or, equivalent?

Hi Guys,
Is there a method of extracting rows from a MySQL table Uniquely (as in only
once) ?..... For example, when a user performs a search, using two words,
it may return the same row twice if the search is spread over two or more
SQL "selections". An example:
If hypothetical row 129 is a Public House, but the public house doubles up
as a restaurant, a search like this might return the same result twice.
Here is our hypothetical pub:
id = 129
name = The Blue Bell Inn
category = Public House
description = The Blue Bell Inn is a hypothetical pub, in the heart of rural
England. Why not visit, have a drink and perhaps even dine in our fine
Restaurant area.
The user might perform the search, searching by "category" OR by
"description". So if they typed "Public House / Restaurant" as the query,
the following would occur:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE category LIKE 'Public House / Restaurant'
OR description LIKE 'Public House / Restaurant'";
Surely that would bring the same row back twice..... Is there any way of
selecting from the table just once, without having to restrict the search
facility to something like:
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE category LIKE '%$searchtext%'";
as opposed to having the "OR" in as well?
Thanks, as always,
James.

This of course won't select the hypothetical cae in question. Perhaps you
might be betterr off using a dropdown list built from the table of
categories that you are using as a lookup table (you are, aren't you?)

Again, that won't work in this case - you might want to separate the
words in the search string and do an OR search on all the words.

Broadly, in this type of situation the row will only be returned once
notwithstanding that it might meet several citeria.

Surely not. Have you tried it yet? Unless there are duplicate rows in the
table (which should *not* be the case), each row that is matched by that
query should only be returned once per execution of the query.

I'm not sure what you're after. If executing the top example is getting
you unwanted rows, perhaps you could re-post with some sample data and
pointing out which rows are being shown in duplicate. (It might also be a
good idea to re-check your data first if there's any possibility that there
are duplicate rows existing in the db. 'Cuz that's the kind of thing
that's gonna mis-lead you about how SQL queries normally work.)

Hi George,
Yes. Use nl2br(); which converts line breaks (\n) to html break tags
(<BR>). You're better doing it when you pull data out of your database
rather than doing it as it goes in (if you're using a database in the first
place).
Format is as follows
:
$string = nl2br($string);

Hey,
Well, I would write two scripts. One to pregen a reference database and
one to search using that database.
The pregen could use the readdir function that Matthew Luchak suggested.
You could use the fopen command to get the pages.
fopen("http://localhost/name-of-file") will return the rendered page instead
of the page with the mixed-in source. You could then use the striptags()
function. Now you have just the text and it has any dynamic content from
the php code. Parse that file, throw out any words that are less than like
3 characters.
There are tons of ways to store the words and pages, the simpilest being to
just to store the word and then a list of the pages that it appears on.
Maybe even tie in how many times it appears in each page.
Anyway, throw that pregen page into a daily or hourly cron and boom, done.
Then write a search page that just looks for each word, find the correct
pages, and makes links to them.
I don't know of any sites that explain how to do search engines but this way
will work :)

Hi,
I was wondering whether anyone could direct me in the direction of creating
a search function like the one on php.net?
I have tried looking rather fruitlessly to implement a system, would one
possible implementation be to use reference files for the information and
then use string matching to analyse the information, or search the source
.php files (although security issues of revealing scripts).
Thanks in advance
Sup,
You have to make the output write to a file.

check and see if you have create_privilege on the database, and also make

it into mysql from the mysql command line and see if it works then...

Kath,
Thank you, I completely forgot to strip the UserID and Password to MySQL.
The book is called PHP, Fast & Easy Web Development by Julie C. Meloni. The
errata is located at the somewhat famous www.thickbook.com (more
specifically http://www.thickbook.com/books/index.phtml, the book is the
first book listed on that page). The errata was helpful in some situations
where mistakes were noticable, but it doesn't go any further and it didn't
help solve the current problem I'm having. Perhaps I could have made a
mistake in the coding, who knows. All I know is that I tried checking and
rechecking my code and it looks fine to me. It is also the exact script from
the book, yet with the errata's corrections applied as well. Any help from
you or any of our other collegues on this newsgroup would be helpful. Thank
you for your response and attempt to help.

I'm using the mail() function to send email out via the web, and I've run in a problem
with escaped characters showing the slash in the emails.
I get the text for the email ($email_text, lets say) and then I strip the slashes and
put the new version in another variable ($nice_email_text). When using the mail
function, $nice_email_text is the data that gets sent out, but the slashes in the
escaped characters still show up in the messages. (With OE)
Any ideas what would be causing this? The scripts I've made are sending out emails to
customers, and I don't want all the " and ' characters to show up with slashes next to
them.
Isaac,
Something like this worked for me...
<?php
if ($article) {
print stripslashes(nl2br($article));
}
else {
print 'Please <a href="1.php">go back</a> and type an article before
sending.';
}
?>
Where $article would be the e-mail sent out in raw form.

I'm trying to modify and e-commerce site which originally sent an email with
the credit card info in an email. Now they would like to pass credit card
numbers to a payment-processing service. For this particular service,
Authorize.net, you would normally direct the form data to the
payment-processing service. The page is currently setup to resubmit to
itself and validate fields before anything else.
I would like to keep that functionality but I'm wondering how to pass the
values onto the payment-processing center after the validation. The flow
would be, hit the submit button and send the data to the page to validate
the fields and then send the info to Authorize.net. The form currently has
about 15 fields to validate and only needs to pass 3 of them to the
payment-processing center.
I'm still relatively new to this and I'm thinking the only way to pass
variables is through a submitted form or the url and I don't want to put the
credit card info in the url.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using the POST method will prevent the credit card data from being included
in the url. I would still be careful about sending data like this via a
POST to a form handler on an entirely different site. It would be better if
there was some sort of secure socket to transfer the data through.

I have a php file with a lot of user defined funtions and wraper
functions in the this global file. Almost all my pages then use the
funtions in this one file (and variables), this is so I can keep my
website very modulure. However I know that having php go through the
file takes a bit of processor time and was wondering if it would be wise
to break up this global file or (into global 1 and 2) or something and
then only use the global 1 when those function are needed and visa
versa. Am I correct in assuming that if that global file gets too big
PHP is going to have to chew on it longer and therefore hold up the
page?
Thanks

On the last question, technically yes.
The key is, how big is big?
If the global file is less than 1000-2000 lines, I wouldn't worry about it.
If it starts getting so large that it's 50-100k, then yes you should
probably break it up.
Under 40k and don't even worry about it unless you are under an utterly
immense server-strain.

Chris & Paul,
Try using the new pdflib-4.0.0 .... It works great.
Here is what you have to do:
Goto: http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/download/index.html
and download the source for unix.
Unzip and untar.
cd to pdflib-4.0.0/bind/php/ext/pdf
copy * php-4.0.4pl1/ext/pdf --- You may want to remove the current contents
of this directory first...
cd pdflib-4.0.0
configure --enable-php
make - you will get an error indicating that a makefile was not found ...
just ignore it.
make install
Link the newly created libraries to the /usr/lib directory:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpdf* /usr/lib
Next just rebuild PHP as normal only add --with-pdflib.
Have fun...

Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP4.0.4pl1+PdfLib3.03+SCO
Guys,
I've admitted defeat and set up a Redhat 6.0 box which runs the web site and
talks to the SCO server as a database server. I'm doing this for a large
client
who wants a "Business Card Generator" on his site and PDF seems to be the
best
way to go as the printer wants a PDF file with the info to print on his
shells
(pre-printed sheets).
Tried to make this work about a year ago, PHP on Redhat talking to an
Informix
database on SCO, and failed miserably. Took about 15 minutes this time - I
read
the error messages!
The secret was that, even though DBPATH was set on the SCO machine it wasn't
being read by the Linux box. I modified the connect statement to the db to
include the DBPATH - hey presto!
$dbh = ifx_connect("/dbpath/dbname@dbserver", "userid", "password");
Performance is pretty good as well.
For this client this is actually the optimum solution, the SCO box was
running a
National e-commerce solution and acting as a dbserver for his internal sales
organisation as well. This takes the load off the SCO box and probably
provides
some extra security as well.
If you would like more info let me know.

Except if one insert fails and the others succeed, you run into a bit of
sync trouble. This is what transactions are for. You might want to consider
a BDB table type, which supports transactions, then you have the option to
rollback the other inserts if one of them fails.

I'm trying to print this treestructure I've made, but it doesn't seem to print more

subtree array of the children is empty, perhaps because I do not
use the correct reference passing?

all you need is three fields, the categories id, the categories parent, and the
categories name. recusion is tricky stuff :)

Yes thx, but it seems that my tree is build allright, I just can't get it
out on print...
I have in my add() function a printout and from this I believe that the tree
is build allright. All the treenodes are added to the correct subtree
arrays.

I need some help figuring something out that my host denies is his problem.
I have a suspicion that only someone who has run into this problem once before has the
answer.
I have this form which posts to a PHP file. Sometimes I pass a file along. This was
info for a database and a picture along with it. This worked fine for the longest
time. Now it does not.
when I post a file in the form I recieve an "Cannot Find Server". When there isnt a
file posted then the form works fine. I dont understand because I recieve no PHP
generated error messages, but rather a problem finding the site entirely.
Has anyone ever seen this?
Help would be much
Marc Davenport
I have seen this before. For me it was a problem with the post operation.I'd
give specifics, but frankly I can't remember...sorry :(

I would put the code:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
at the bottom of your form page and run the page, without posting a file,
and see what the phpinfo says about file uploading. Perhaps it is disabled.
Even so, I can't understand why you would get a server not found. Hrm, well
maybe this will shed some light.

Did you remember to base64 it? Perhaps some embedded chars
in the binary file are messing with you.

is there a way to compare a value to a preset range.
for example;
$preset_ range = [0...65535]
$a[0] = "12";
$a[1] = "198";
$a[2] = "B";
$ac = count($a);
for($x=0; $x < $ac; $x++)
{
if($a[$x] != $preset_range)
{
$valid = 0;
}
else
{
valid = 1;
}
print($valid . "\n");
}
output should look like:
1
1
0
how is this accomplished in PHP?
thanks.
jason
this works:
$r_start = 0;
$r_end = 65535;
$a = array('12', '198', 'b');
while ( list($k,$v) = each($a) ) {
if ( ($v > $r_start) && ($v < $r_end) ) {
print "[$v] OK<BR>\n";
}
else {
print "[$v] NOPE<BR>\n";
}
}

I can do it, it aint pretty though
<?php
for($c = 0; $c < 65535; $c++)
$range[] = $c;
$a[0] = '12';
$a[1] = '198';
$a[2] = 'B';
foreach($a as $pos => $val)
if (in_array($val, $range))
echo "True <br>";
else
echo "False <br>";
?>
works, just aint pretty.

is there a way to compare a value to a preset range.
for example;
$preset_ range = [0...65535]
$a[0] = "12";
$a[1] = "198";
$a[2] = "B";
$ac = count($a);
for($x=0; $x < $ac; $x++)
{
if($a[$x] != $preset_range)
{
$valid = 0;
}
else
{
valid = 1;
}
print($valid . "\n");
}
output should look like:
1
1
0
how is this accomplished in PHP?
thanks.

One way is:
$min = 0;
$max = 65535;
if ($var >= $min && $var <= $max)
{
...
}
Though I haven't heard of a range comparison, it would be nice if one
existed...especially if it could be something like "0-4, 6-8, 9-21", and it
would return true of the value was within any of the specified ranges.
But I don't know of it's specific existance.

how can i convert the charset in an e-mail from ascii or any iso-standard,
to the unicode-standard, so the webmail can be used outside english-speaking
areas?
Hi there,
Months ago I had a bad time getting PDFlib 3.0.0 to compile with PHP.. After
I succeeded I was so glad I promised myself to never touch it again.. :-)
Well, I now have a barcode font which I need to embed into a PDF document..
I did this a long time ago, but have forgotten what the exact settings were
that I used to accomplish this...
With some searching I suddenly saw that PDFlib 4.0.0 was available.. !! When
I looked at the documentation I got a tinteling feeling in my stomach..
Finally the package comes with all the Tif/Png etc libraries which you first
had to download seperately and try to compile with PDFlib.. Further this
package has also been adapted to PHP (they even talk about it in the
manual!!!) and it seems that you can also load the pdf as some kind of
library when starting the script via the 'dl' function.. ( which I don't yet
have any experience with..)
My question: Who has got some experience with this..? I grabbed a tarball of
php-4.0.4pl1 and pdflib4.0.0..
Compiled both and tried to load the library via de dl option.. PHP can't
seem to find this..
I am now busy to try and do it the old way and compile PHP with the PDFlib
option enabled..
(did copy the /ext/pdf directory from pdflib to my php!)
But if possible I would rather use the option in which the library is loaded
into PHP as an library.. Speed isues aren't important, I want an easy and
flexible way the change PDFlib versions without needing to recompile
anything..
I also read that this was possible with the GD library..
I will be glad if I can hear anyone with some experiences with this new
PDFlib.. I look forward getting this to work!
Thanks in advance..
With kind regards

Hi,
Using the above combination I issue the statement
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable
I have tried using either odbc_prepare or odbc_do with each of the cursor types
SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC
SQL_CUR_IF_NEEDED
SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER
SQL_CUR_DEFAULT
Instead of geting a resultset set with 1 row containing the count I am getting a
resultset as follows:
executing 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable'
NUM_ROWS:9
COUNT
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
I have issued the same SQL statemnt with the Progress tools and with the openlink
odbctest program and they both return 1 row with
the result
COUNT
9
Any help appreciated.

This is just a post to get in the archives. So if someone searches the
archives for this they'll hopefully hit this one and their problems will be
solved. I've battled this for two days..and have finally solved the
problem. I figure that the should help someone who had problems similar to
mine.
when you configure php with gd keep in mind that you need to have libgd.a
in /usr/lib. libgd.so won't do it!
watch:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.19 --enable-ftp
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/src/jpeg-6b --with-png-dir=/usr/src/libpng-1.0.9
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/src/freetype-2.0.1/ --with-gd=/usr/src/gd-2.0.1
--with-imap=/usr/src/imap-4.5 --enable-gd-native-ttf' --enable-calendar'
you have to remember to do a make libgd.a in /usr/src/gd-2.0.1 (or where
ever you untarrred gd)
.a libs are for being statically linked with progs. .so libs are stand
alone, dynamic libs.
then everything works ok
you learn something new every day :-)
If anybody has questions i urge to ask me for a copy of the bash script
that i used to compile php with apache. Mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for all the advice, Brian. If you're referring to a database as
MySQL or any other database technology then I guess I haven't been precise
enough. I'm really quite new into PHP and I'm just using text files for
now. I'm slowly working my way up to MySQL, but fooling around with my
learned skills first.
Thanks!

I just created a class that gets info resizes and stamps an image with
text. It's pretty simple, but works. If anyone wants it email me privately.

Is there a command which will tell me that it is the last in an array?
When I use END it just gives me the value IN the array... I want to know
when I hit the last element in an array...
This is driving me crazy...
Thanks.

Jason,
You can use array_pop() to return the last element of the array -
$last_item = array_pop ($array);
but if you just want your array processing to stop when it's reached the
last item in the array (and avoid the loop) then do something like:
while (list ($var1, $var2) = each ($array))
HTH!

you can get the amount of elements in an array using count()
and use that # as an index value for 1+ the last value
(the last value that's NOT IN the array)
$a = array('12', '198', 'b');
print count($a);
this'll give you "3", which, as you can see,
the last valid subscript of $a is $a[2];

Hi,
I've been playing around with ClibPDF and am pulling my hair out trying
to figure out some functions, specifically, cpdf_rect. and cpdf_lineto.
They seem straight forward enough, but I just can't get them to work.
Here's what I've tried so far:
cpdf_setrgbcolor_fill($pdf, 253, 15, 15);
cpdf_rect($pdf,10,300,400,400, 0);
cpdf_closepath($pdf);
cpdf_fill($pdf);
cpdf_stroke($pdf);
and
cpdf_moveto($pdf, 50, 50);
cpdf_lineto($pdf, 200, 350);
cpdf_closepath($pdf);
cpdf_fill($pdf);
cpdf_stroke($pdf);
Any thoughts? What am I doing wrong???
Thanks,
Grant

this is what i use to scale down an arbitrary .GIF or .JPG
image to 150x150...
$image_name is the name of the original file that you want
to create a thumbnail of...
function save_thumb($image_name,$image_type) {
global $Svar;
$new_w = 150;
$new_h = 150;
$image_path = "/path/of/imagedir/". $image_name;
$thumb_path = "/path/of/thumbdir/" . $image_name;
if ($image_type == "image/pjpeg") {
$src_img = imagecreatefromjpeg($image_path);
}
elseif($image_type == "image/gif") {
$src_img = imagecreatefromgif($image_path);
}
$dst_img = imagecreate($new_w,$new_h);
imagecopyresized($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,imagesx($src_img),imagesy($s
rc_img));
imagejpeg($dst_img, $thumb_path . "_t.jpg");

I have a PHP script which runs a query, and emails the results to me. I am
trying to make Cron run this script.
I can get it to launch my PHP script and it emails me fine, but the problem
is lynx gets caught up in a loop and it doesnt kill off after running the
script.
Is there something I need to add to my cron entry, or do I need to force
some sort of death via the php script ?
Thanks
Chris

Hi everyone! I have the following problem:
I don't want any of my site's pages to be saved on any browser's cache.
Yet, I want all HTML forms to keep their data when the user changes to
another page without submiting and then comes back using the back button.
I have seen changing the session.cache_limiter configuration option to
'private' instead of 'nocache' works to make all forms keep their data, but
then all pages are diplayed from the browser's cache even after refreshing
several times!. I want a point in between, but I don't know how to get
there.
By the way, do you know what do the values that session.cache_limiter can
take mean? (nocache, private and public)
Thanks a lot you are all very kind.
Cheers, Diego.

When you set it to 'nocache' you get a set of HTTP headers that look like
this:
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
That forces things to not be cached anywhere.
The 'private' setting sends these headers:
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: private, max-age=10800, pre-check=10800
The expires header is set to a time in the past to force non-HTTP 1.1
compliant caches not to cache the page. For HTTP-1.1 caches that
understand the cache-control header the page will be cached only in
private caches (ie. the end-user http-1.1 compliant browser) for the time
specified by the session.cache_expire setting.
The 'public' setting sends headers like this:
Expires: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 20:57:16 GMT
Cache-Control: public, max-age=10800
Basically this means that the page is allowed to be cached in both public
(like AOL's proxy-cache) and private caches for the time specified by
session.cache_expire
And no, I don't know of a way to do what you want. I don't think you can
have the back button working and at the same time not allow private
caching.

Leap years shouldn't be a problem? I don't know what DB you are using or
what format you store your dates - but if you can do a query something
like
SELECT * FROM table WHERE birthdate > (NOW()-18years)
using whatever your DB supports for the last bit :-) I _think_ it might
work as is with recent MySQL.

Well, it depends on your DB - for Mysql look for the date_sub or subdate
functions; for anything else, you'll have to RTM :-0

Greetings all,
I'm currently in the middle of developing a rather large piece of software written in
PHP. I'll spare you the details, but essentially it is a glorified FTP client. The
goal here, of course, is to develop a client that will work on any platform. In
theory, this SHOULD work, because PHP runs server-side, therefore eliminating any
problems that would normally arise from differences between the various platforms.
However, it occurred to me that there isn't really a way (that I know of) to directly
address a specific filename on a Macintosh as there is in other operating systems.
For example, in Windows I could type C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BLAH.EXE or in Unix I could
type /var/spool/mail/whatever ... but is there a way to do such a thing on a Mac? Can
you directly address a file several levels deep in the filesystem without using the
MacOS interface itself to do so? The project I'm doing relies on the ability to do
just that, and it would appear that I've hit a bit of a snag.
If anyone can offer any suggestions or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in
advance.
Sincerely,
Shawn Reed

On a Mac it is just diskname:folder1:folder2:blah.txt The colon is the path
delimiter, and is the only illegal character in a mac path.
But I'm most curious as to why you would need this. Presumably you're
writing your client in a web browser? In that case you're never really
exposed to the peculiarities of the client filesystem. And if you're writing
a network client, this would be taken care of by the API.

Hey!
I'm a bit new at PHP, my page's at http://www.marthe.com.
My problem is that the counter on the page, from TheCounter.com, is far too
ugly.
Since I'm updating the page, I'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas on
how I should make one and what I should do.
Greetings,
Marthe
make one yourself:
a table with the data you want to store,
on every hit you insert there info, including Unique Session ID.
then use simple SQL queries to read your stats.
also see
http://www.phpbeginner.com/columns/McDonald/counter
there's an idea for beginners on how else it could work..

this counter'll increment the counter, no matter where are you go the page

Hey!
I tried to make this counter.php-file, that went ok, I think
My problem is to make the count.inc-file, I could make it but I have no idea
how to put "chmod" to "777" in it.
The number I am supposed to insert in the file is that just how many that
has allready visited or what is it?
And, it's just to insert a number, because I'd like it to allready have the
number that's on the counter I have today...
/Marthe
chmod is a *nix command. you do it to the file:
chmod 777 counter.inc
on the command line

Funny isn't it?
The fact is that it is only her to see the error. The site is being tested
on all the browsers, especially on one particular machine in here overloaded
with all kind of different browsers for testing.
Nothing, never seen that error, only her on her browser...
I use cookies to maintain sessions, so if SID (from cookies) is not defined
then it is a very new visitor and we create one. Then session_id($SID) and
there we go...
Nor even her to see the error each time she visits the site, it happens only
once a moth...
really, weird...

I was curious about your post, so I take a look at the module source.
It seems you could be right if O_EXCL is not defined when PHP is compiled.
If
O_EXCL is defined, it creates if there is no session data file.

Hello.
My question is:
How do I detect if mysql_connect() failed when I'm surpressing the error message with
@ like
$linkid = @mysql_connect("host","user","pass");
And how do I, if it failes, get the error message?
The manuel says that it:
[quote]Returns a positive MySQL link identifier on success, or an error message on
failure.[unquote]
In my mind I should be able to detect if it returns an errormessage like this:
if(!$linkid)
$error = mysql_error();
or:
if(!is_int($linkid))
$error = mysql_error();
Noone of theese 2 types works :-(.
I'm using is_int() because the manuel says that mysql_connect() returns an int. (How
can it then return an error message? I thought that an error message would be some
kind if string :-).)
Here comes another problem, when an error occours I should be able to see the message
with mysql_error() (since the linkid not contains an error message.)

Try testing the value of mysql_errno() and echo mysql_error accordingly.

I CAN detect if an erro occours. (just some error I did)
I still don't get any return from mysql_errno() or mysql_error()
I don't iether get a return from mysql_errno() or mysql_error() when I do not surpress
with @ (the function, mysql_connect(), then prints a message.)
Guess I could surpress and write the error message myself, but I just want the
original one, wich I should be able to get with mysql_error()
PS. It is only mysql_connect that do it.

I think this used to be in the docs or notes, but I couldn't find it
when I did a quick search.
As I understand it, mysql_error() and mysql_errno() only return
errors on an active connection. So, if the error occurs on
mysql_connect/pconnect(), they will not return anything. So, you can
do something like:
$LinkId = @mysql_connect(...);
if (!$LinkId) {
call error_function('Unable to connect to database;);
exit;
}
or, more simply:
$LinkId = @mysql_connect(...) or die('Unable to connect to database');
There's no way that I know of to get more details on WHY the connect
failed other than not using the '@' and seeing what the mysql_connect
error message does. In PHP4, you might be able to catch that message
using the output buffering functions, then format that the way you
want. See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php
for more info on output buffering.

Hi,
Any tips on how to speed-up dynamic page loads by either lessening the HTML file
sent or compressing it? I found two ways but don't exactly know how to do it.
1. Enable output buffering with compression. This seems to be only available on
php4.04. Is there a way to do this with php4.01?
2. Remove extraneous whitespaces. I normally program with heavy use of
indention, especially in table outputs, to make code more readable. But the
html files sent out also have these indentations and whitespaces. Is there a
code that can clean these out?
Thanks,
Floyd
you might want to look at mod_gzip

Hi,
I discovered a bug in my program for uploading files, which stores the
filename in the database in order to create a link for it on the web page in
the future. The bug is when the filename makes use of special characters
(e.g. Oplæg). When I create a link to the file, the link works with
Netscape. With IE however, it says that file is not found. I discovered that
if I use the "encoded" version of the file name ("Opl%e6g") it works on both
IE and Netscape. What function or code is used to convert to this format?
Thanks!
Floyd
Could you enlighten me on the advantages or disadvantages and dangers of
turning-on both magic_quotes_gpc and magic_quotes_runtime?
Thanks,

I'm looking to compare if my array values match any digits or alpha
characters with a dot between them... so, if I think I understand Regular
Expressions (from what I could gather from PHP.net and Core PHP Programming
by Leon Atkinson.)
I want to match any of the following:
1.1 or a.a
or 1111.1111 or aaaa.aaaa <-- any number of digits (0-9) or alpha (a-z)
on either side of the dot.
if(eregi("^([0-9][a-z]\.[0-9][a-z]", $myArray[x]))
Is this correct? I think I'm missing something.
Thanks.
Jason
It seems good to me except there is an unbalanced '('...

(eregi("([0-9][a-z][A-Z]\.[0-9][a-z][A-Z]", $myArray[x]))
and don't use character '^' in front of the pattern.

Your parentheses are slightly wrong.
if(
eregi(
"^
(
/* unmatched parens */
[0-9][a-z]
/* only matches one digit or character */
\.
/* matches period */
[0-9][a-z]

You want something like this:
<?php
/* eregi("^([[:alnum:]]+\.[[:alnum:]]+)", $myArray[x]) */
$string = 'aaa.aaa';
$string_2 = 'aaaaaa';
print(eregi("^([[:alnum:]]+\.[[:alnum:]]+)", $string) ? 'matched' : 'no match');
print(eregi("^([[:alnum:]]+\.[[:alnum:]]+)", $string_2) ? 'matched' : 'no match');

There is a GNU Regular Expressions Document out there somewhere if you
want to know most of it inside an out (google.com will probably take
you to it). It's real dry, to say the least.
There's also PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions). That's of
course if you know Perl (ree: perlre).
You didn't ask about books, but I have to recommend _Mastering Regular
Expressions_ (ISBN: 1565922573); Without reading that, I'd be lost.
Hmm, let's see..
PHP Builder's article:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/dario19990616.php3
The perlre perldoc:
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.html
Regular expressions section of the grep manual:
http://www.gnu.org/manual/grep-2.4/html_node/grep_6.html#SEC7
That may be enough to get you off to a very good start. There has to
be some better tutorials out there, but I just can't find any tonight.
(To tell you the truth, I'd buy the book)

I'm a little lost as to the exact function of the following:
^ and $
I noticed in the example below... that when I added the $ to the end of the
expression, I wasn't able anymore to put a non-alphanumeric character in the
end, for example (without the $)
I was able to enter the following and get a 'match'
aaa.a! <-- matched
aaa.! <-- no match
after I put the $ on the end
aaa.a! <-- no match
aaa.aa32 <-- match...
So, am I to understand that the ^ and $ are used to tell the expression that
it *must* match what the expression expects? I guess why I'm so confused is
because -- I thought when you create an expression, that it must match the
parameters of that expression... then what are the ^ $ for?? It's like to
create an expression, but it truly won't work unless you have it turned on
with ^ $ characters.
Thanks.

if you put ^ at the start of your regexp, that means you want the start of
the string to match your expression...$ is used for the end of the string...

Thats what the book said too... but what I'm confused about is the word
START and END -- at what point does the start end, and the end begin? If
you look at my example below
aaa.a! <-- matched
>
> aaa.! <-- no match
>
> after I put the $ on the end
>
> aaa.a! <-- no match
>
> aaa.aa32 <-- match...
It looks like the ^ and $ are actually needed it you want the expression to
work correctly *at all*.
Thanks.

Matches the expression with one or more alnum's before the \. and one

No alnum after the \. If you want to match that, replace the + with a

Yep; more precisely, ^[something]$ matches the whole string.

Sorry if I seem dense. Your answer (although probably right on target)
leaves me still confused :-)
The example you gave me:
$string = 'aaaa.aaaa';
print(eregi("^([[:alnum:]]+\.[[:alnum:]]+)", $string) ? 'matched' : 'no
match');
Now with your example (above) the following MATCHED (when, I think it
shouldn't have:)
(example 1)
aaaa.a!
aaaa.a#$%
aaaa.a23!%
The following did NOT match.
(example 2)
a!.aaaa
a%!.aaaa
aaaa.!a34
Now when I took your example and added the $ at the end, like so:
print(eregi("^([[:alnum:]]+\.[[:alnum:]]+)$", $string) ? 'matched' : 'no
match');
Everything that MATCHED in example 1 no longer matched, and in-fact, just
everything I wanted to match -- matched -- ie. just letters and numbers.
So... even though I had the [:alnum:] tag in the end -- without the $ at the
end it seems pointless?
So, I guess my (dense) question is -- why? Why doesn't it just work with
the [:alnum:] tag? I'm assuming ALNUM stands for Alpha-Numeric *only*?

No problem at all.

Matches because there is *at least* one alnum after the \.
It doesn't care about the ! as long as it found the a.
> aaaa.a#$%
Ditto here.
> aaaa.a23!%
Ditto here.
> The following did NOT match.
> (example 2)
> a!.aaaa
This didnt' match because of ^[[:alnum:]]+\.
There's a [:punct:] between the [:alnum:] and the \.
> a%!.aaaa
Ditto here.
> aaaa.!a34
No [:alnum:] after the \.
Your expression asks for *at least one* [:alnum:]
Changing + to * would make that match.

> print(eregi("^([[:alnum:]]+\.[[:alnum:]]+)$", $string) ? 'matched' : 'no

Right, because it had a [:punct:] before the end of the string and you
forced it to only pick up [:alnum:]'s

Hm - if it's off by other than a multiple of 30 min I would suspect the
system time to be wrong, rather than a GMT offset.
I'm about to head off home, so further correspondence better go to the
list.

Hi,
I'm getting LOTS of bounces whenever I send a message to this list. This is
the only lists from which I'm experiencing this kind of problems. It's very
annoying to receive multiple bounces because of one message.
Some are caused by misconfigured mailserver (solfix.net is a very good
example).
Others are caused by people who forget to unsubscribe whenever they get a
new email addess..
As I said before.. this is the only list I'm experiencing this kind of
problems.. so clean up if you're one of those people mentioned above.. Or
unsubscribe until you've got it all figured out..
Thanks,
B.

Those morons (solfix.net) have been bugging absolute the s*$t out of
me with that stupid subscription request for months. Maybe someone
crafty should send their auto-responder into an infinite loop. I keep
hoping the list-admin will find out exactly who it is and end this
madness.

I have removed [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the lists. That address was
causing a number of the bounces. Gave him a full day to fix his MX
loop...
As for solfix.net. Not sure what can be done about them. There is no
solfix.net address subscribed and that domain is blocked from posting to
any of the lists.

hello,
I have a bunch of "Banner" strings (ie. $banner1, $banner2, $banner3,
$banner4). I have another set of "random" strings that randomly generate a
value 1-4 ($RandBanner1, $RandBanner2, $RandBanner3,$RandBanner4). Now I
want to display $banner1-4 randomly. I plan on doing this by:
print "$banner".$RandBanner1;
but that doesnt seem to work...Anyone got any other suggestions?
Any help is greatly appricaited.
Thanks in advance,
Ray
why not do this:
//generate your random number and save it in $randomNumber
switch($randomNumber){
case 1:
echo "$banner1";
break;
case 2:
echo "$banner2";
break;
case 3:
echo "$banner3";
break;
case 4:
echo "$banner4";
break;
}

you can do:
echo ${"banner$RandBanner"}
this will create a variable for you.
However, I think you should be using an array. Things are getting much

Hi,
has anyone ever seen the message "Network error occured while Netscape
was receiving data ..."
This happens when i save data in my informix database. The values are
saved, but i get the error message when the browser trys to load the new
page. The strange thing is, it happens only sometimes on various sites.
I think it has something to do with the traffic on the site (ca. 400
users).
After inserting a flush() into the page, which i want to load, i get
parts of the new page. I saved this page on disk and had a look at the
HTML, it´s complete, but my browser can´t show it and i get the network
error message.
If i make a "View Source" of the uncomplete page i get:
<TITLE>Missing Post reply data</TITLE>
<H1>Data Missing</H1>
This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the
cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document
by pressing the <b>reload</b> button.
I´m working on NT4, php4.0.4pl1, ODBC-> Informix Database
Thanks for any help!
Claudia
