Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, the problem is not in getting the code to execute - I know it
is for two reasons:
1) the setcookie(...) is being triggered because I have cookie warnings
turned on in the browser, and it warns me that a new cookie is being
received.... and it shows me the expected content of the cookie
2) the reloacation via the header is occuring as expected.
It's just that the cookie being set isnt being retained on the browser....
(oh - and as a side note, there would only ever be 1 match for the returned
mysql result... which is why I didnt loop through them... there's either a
row returned, or not... and if not, then the rest of the code that wasnt
included in the msg handles that situation)
What I'm wondering though, is.... in the page which sets the cookie ok,
there is no redirection.... it executes:
setcookie("YONKAMEMBERID",$insert_id,time()+31536000,"/",$PHP_HOST);
inline, and then displays the page.
In the page which doesnt set the cookie, there is redirection occuring
setcookie("YONKAMEMBERID",$login_id,time()+31536000,"/",$PHP_HOST);
Header("Refresh: 0;url=/");
It's the exact same code -- just a different variable setting the value, and
the header call afterwards. (though even when I comment out the header(..)
it still doesnt work.)
Something just isnt right somewhere.
Is it the path of the script being exeuted that's causing something strange
to occur??
I really am at a loss....

The other poster was correct in their reply, but a more fitting reply is
that $PHP_SELF is NOT a "constant". A constant would be something like...
define(PHP_SELF,"cow");
All PHP code would then show PHP_SELF as "cow".

Hm, you might try executing mp3info (if it's installed) after the file has

Relax, you don't need a regex. See <http://php.net/parse_url>

There's no extended replace in textpad.. More specifically you can't do
extended replace if the files are not all Open.
On the other hand there's no , parantheses, bracket maching in HomeSite.

Hi, I would like to check whether a variable, $type, is equal to a
number of different possible states. I know I could use
if ( $type == "abc" || $type == "bcd") { $a = b }
but this would get a bit clumsy if I had to check whether it is say
one of 20 different things.
What I was wondering is, is there a better way of doing this? I will
occasionally need to add another option as well, although I don't mind
a simple code edit.
Cheers for your help, Donald

Here's an appropriate example, one of a few ways you may do it :
$state = 'Wa';
$state = trim(strtoupper($state));
$states = array('WA' => 'Washington', 'OR' => 'Oregon', 'ID' => 'Idaho');
if (in_array($state, array_keys($states))) {
echo "you chose <b>{$states[$state]}</b>, a state in the pacific NW!";
} else {
echo "you've chosen <b>$state</b>, an inferior state indeed.";
}
In the above, we make sure the chosen state is a $states key/index as
array_keys creates an array of keys, from the $states array, like so :
$keys = array('WA','OR','ID');
If $state is in this array, bingo! That's one way, it all depends on what
you're doing exactly. in_array() is a nice little function btw, that's
the point of this post :) Check out array_keys and array_search too.

You could also try using a regular expression to get out whatever you need
(if it's a string). Something like the following:
preg_match_all("/[abc|def|ghi]/",$type, $matches);

"Overusing OO features: PHP is not an object oriented language, while it
does provide object oriented features, you should always be conscious of the
fact that using PHP's object oriented features will significantly slow down
your code."
- a quote taken from Sterling Hughes' "top 21 PHP programming mistakes"
listed on the Zend homepage.
How true is this?
I've been coding in PHP for years now and have almost always written
software in the same general way..My code is *totally* object oriented. I
have individual classes for individual modules(parts of the application) --
everything is in a class.. I've never really noticed a problem with PHP's
execution speed but then I write applications in PHP, not just dynamic web
sites so the things I write rarely get a whole lot of traffic (most apps are
intranet apps and are not available to everyone on the net)..
So... Is this a bad way of doing things in PHP? Exactly what is
"significant" slow down that Mr. Hughes talks about and does anyone have any
real-world examples that might back up what he says? I am in the process of
writing some benchmarks but would still be interested in any and all other
data from other sources...
Thanks!!

We too have been developing using an OO approach for awhile - definitely

we've standardized more on our coding style in PHP4.
I would not doubt that there's some overhead with an OO approach. Enough
to make a significant slow down? We run a moderately high volume site -
the code base is pretty OO when it's called for, and we've not noticed any
significant speed issue. Something going from 20ms to 40ms or 50ms might
be a 100% or greater speed decrease, but it's still pretty darn small.
If the OO approach lets you code significantly faster than you would
otherwise be able to, continue to do so. If speed is an ultimate factor,
and you don't use OO in PHP, don't start. (Code in assembly or C if speed
is a necessity.)
The real-world small penalty you may pay in OO execution time might more
than be overcome by getting a project done days or weeks quicker than you
would otherwise have been able to.

His series of articles ("top php programming mistakes") is great, and
I've heard good things about his "PHP Cookbook" but Hughes is way off
here. There is some additional overhead with OO code but there is *very*
little difference in speed (less than 5% in synthetic benchmarks, and
much less in more complex php code) - certainly not the "signigicant slow
down" that he claims.
IIRC, later in the article series, Hughes admits he isn't an OO fan, so
he's probably a bit biased. Maybe he knows of some case where OO PHP code
runs really slow, but since he doesn't present any data to back up his
claims I suspect he just guessed that OO PHP would be slow (ie - he made
it up!).
I don't use OO for everything I do, but if the project is going to be over
1000 lines or so, I find OO code easier to maintain. YMMV.
For testing, I used two simple test files that both printed "hello
world" five times. I did the benchmarking with ab (apache
bench). The OO one:
<?php
class bench {
function test () {
print "hello world!";
}
}

The non-OO version is the same, but without the class stuff. The non-OO
version averaged 580 req/s, while the OO version averaged 550 req/s. This
was on a 600mhz pIII with 256megs of ram running Apache 1.3.19 and PHP
4.0.5 on a Linux 2.4.3 kernel.

Thanks for the help, but the example given does nothing at all.
It has me stumped.
I got my first example working up to the point where you enter the password
but it is not storing the passwords.
Bummer.

I am new to PHP having converted from ASP (don't beat me up, it just took me
a while to see the light)
MY QUESTION: What in PHP acts like the 'server.mappath' function in ASP? It
gives you the ability to determain the root of the web site and use it as a
reference.
MY PROBLEM: I have been able to use '/some/folder/whatever.gif' to point to
the image folder with GIFs inside no matter where I am in the site in the
HTML part of my pages. It doesn't seem to work includes in the <?PHP ?>
tags. I either have to use
'http://www.mysite.com/some/folder/whatever.inc' -OR- '../../whatever.inc'.
Any ideas?
INFO: I am running Apache with PHP4.03 installed as a module
Thanx in advance!!
I have installed CPDF lib instead. Installation was a breeze. I didn't want
to break my RAQ4 with too many config options when it's running live sites.
PDFLib and CPDF carry almost the same type of licenses.

Someone on the list mentioned a way to check if a classed is already
declared so it will only declare it once. I can't find it in the
archives so if someone knows how to accomplish this I would appreciate
it if you send me the code.
Thanks in advance.

It should work to have this after your opening HTML tag in index.html:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=start.php" />
I want to do the following:
1/ open a file via a web page
A/ Parse out the function names in a class
B/ Parse out some strings between two 'template block' like markers
C/ return the names/strings as pull down menus
2/ run a web application to modify the calling sequence of the functions
in the class via some input selection by the user.
3/ copy the original version to:
<original_file_name.php.old.highest_num_ext_found+1> i.e.
exists: <file_name.php> AND <file_name.php.old.12>
copy: <file_name.php> AS <file_name.php.old.13>
modify: <file_name.php>
3/ rewrite the section between the 'template block' like markers in
<file_name.php> with input from user.
My guesses are that:
1/ The new file created by the webserver will only have permissions
for the webserver/webserver-group access. **I** won't be able
to access it.
2/ I have to temporarily change the permissions of the file to modify to
<all> write so that the web server can access it.
Any one have suggestions on how to do this in the script and retain
permissions on
the new created file?

Hello all,
My apologies if this is has been answered before or if this is considered
beginner material...but I am trying to make something of a linked list using
PHP. However, with the absence of pointers, I'm wondering if references
will do the trick. For example:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
class node
{
var value;
var child;
var parent;
}
$top = new node();
$top->value = "hello";
$test = new node();
$top->child = &$test;
$test->parent = &$top;
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Has anyone attempted anything like this before or can anyone think of a
reason that this will not work? Thank you!
- Steve
Does anyone know what the sequence argument is suppose to be? More
importantly, what the numbers stand for "2,4:6"?

hi all,
On one of my sites we make extensive use of variable passed through the
url, particullarly for browsing the main content of the site which is
organised into main and sub categories, eg
browse.php?maincat=Weather&subcat=sunny kind of thing.
I understand from colleagues who know much on these things that public
search engines bots (eg google) stop parsing thru that part of the site
when they reach a '?' (I could well be wrong on this).
a way around this that I have heard is installing the mod_rewrite module
in apache and mapping browse/weather/sunny to
browse.php?maincat=weather&subcat=sunny.
Would this in fact even fix the problem? Its a hard thing to test!
Does anyone have any experience using this? And what is the advice from
people on how best to get google&co to spider your site and find your
content effectively?
Thanks in advance
Tom
