Hello,
I am trying to decide between these two scripts and was wondering if anyone has either
of them
installed. The one thing I need that I can't figure out if either of them have is
whether or not, I
can hide categories (that contain the forums and topics) on the category page and
based on a users
log-in have them enabled. If that is not possible is it possible to create 2 category
pages and
store them in one database, (hosting company only allows one instance of a forum
script to be
installed) one for the forums that everyone that comes to my site can see and another
category page
that will actually only be available in the restricted members only page.
If it helps, here are the links
http://www.phpbb.com and http://www.ikonboard.com
I think I prefer the phpbb forum because ikonboard uses cgi scripts, or it least
that's what it
looks like.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ikonboard has a very nice interface and I know that its very popular but, as
you thought, it is CGI based.
I've never managed to get it working - maybe because I couldnt get Active
Perl working properly (well, it was a 25MHz 486 with 8Mb RAM!!).
If you're more into PHP I'd go with phpbb as you'd find it easier to tinker
around with to get it looking how you wanted.

Never thought I'd see this pop on here :) As mentined before, Ikonboard is
in fact Perl and up until recently was only flatfile. Another you may want
to try is http://www.yabb.info (PHP/mySQL combo)

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the link to another script. I had never heard of that one and will
definitely check it
out.

Hello,
Thank you. I think I want to stick with the php/mysql combo, so will take ikonboard
off the list.

Of course it is possible. (Why would it not be?)
I've don it my self (stored ptrocedures that builds HTML pages),
and especially the full text search you were talking about.

Is there a utility out there that checks for typos, like a spell check but
for code? They are the most annoying things ever and probably the hardest of
errors to find in scrips.
Something simple, even command line would be handy.
Also, its interesting that only one user of the script got the error. What
about all the others? Are they not as considerate as this one guy who
actually reported the problem?

Yeah,
I know it's executed client side, but if the buffer fills up because you
have a lot to send to the client (and the network connection is saturated),
then it might fail, since it cannot do the test. it is unlikely, but
possible. Also, that code you quoted is (out of context) inefficient, so
that might prove why.
Also, it's worth noting that only 1 in 10 people complain about something.
Thus, your one client reporting this error may mean there are 10 out there
:)
Best bet is to get his headers etc (set up a seperate log site? get him to
dump the page for you as you echo variables and debug info? -- you certainly
won't know which strtoupper it fails on if they are all on the same line :))
Also, get him to give you his cookies -- chances are there could be a
datatype incompatibility.
The bottom line i am getting across here is that there are so many
possibilities here for potential errors, (like in many things) that it is
hard to pinpoint what might be wrong.
If it helps, i am more than happy to look at your code and see if i can
break it.
Regards, and now christmas day is drawing to a close, merry new year :)

Ah yes... that would do it. How embarrassing! But another respondent brought
up an interesting question. Why does this error not show up every time? As
written, it is a basic syntactical error. I tested this thing up and down; I
test it in production every day.
Ah.... it's always something.... thanks much.

It's good to program with error_reporting turned all the way up, E_ALL,
which is configured with the error_reporting directive (see php.ini) or by
the error_reporting function:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
Undefined variables, misspelled function names, and various typos will
most likely turn up an error (unless you find a undocumented feature :).
When an error says "undefined function" then it's either:
a) Built-in PHP functions
- A typo
- PHP was not compiled with the given extension. For example,
if mysql_connect is undefined, mysql wasn't compiled into PHP.
b) User defined
- A typo
- Undefined, as in a function library wasn't includ()ed, etc.
If a variable is undefined, it could be a typo because all good little
programs make sure their variables are defined before use :) Anyway this
rambling rant basically says turn up error_reporting and use Common Sense.
And, to keep in mind that error reporting isn't perfect.
If an error stumps someone, searching the archives (or google) for the
error can be helpful. For example:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&s=headers+already+sent
http://www.google.com/search?q=php+%22headers+already+sent%22
Anyway, what was the question again? :)

This error will happen every time. Check your error_reporting setting
*shrugs* See the email I just posted.

It will show up every time PHP attempts to call the (incorrect) function. But the
functions won't be called every time.
For example, due to short-circuit evaluation, if the string is "B" or "P", the error
will never happen.
Also, if your if statement isn't always reached, then the error will not happen.
Finally, not all users will report the error when they get it. But you can deal with
that by looking at your PHP error log file.
I believe there is a way to call PHP from the command line and do a "syntax check" on
a given file. But I have never tried it and I have no idea if it really works. Check
the manual.

because the way && is evaluated.
if the first part of the && expression is false, then it doesn't even
attempt to look at the second part, meaning you get a fastest evaluation
:)...
I think its called Lazy Logic or something, I know its in the PHP Manual
somewhere :)

Hi there,
I've been searching for a PHP implementation of the GNU textformatting tool
fmt (http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html) which provides an
almost optimal linebreak for your text.
I'm not skilled in enough in C programming to implement such a feature for
PHP but I'd really appreciate having this algorithm available in a simple
PHP function.
My question is, if there's anyone who is interested in implementing this for
PHP, so that we can see it in one of the next releases?
I think, the function would be very useful to do some pretty reformatting of
text when for example sending mail or in general doing text formatted
output.
Thanks for your replies in advance,
Dominik

I have implemented exactly what you need in this class to compose and
send MIME messages as it is important that messages to not have more
than 75 characters per line.

You may use these two and not have to bother what version of PHP your
script runs on.
Note that you may have to edit wordwrap if you need to chop exceedingly
long words (this code allows long lines in this case).
Please let me know if you use/optimize this.

You may want to try this PHP Class that displays HTML tables with query
results that may be limited per page. In that case it display links to
go to the next, previous, last, first and some intermediate pages that
you may configure. See the HTML example page. This class works with
MySQL and many other databases:

Merry Christmas everybody.
I am using MS Windows 98 with Apache and following an example in Julie
Meloni's "PHP - Fast and Easy" (Chapter 10) in which she describes file
uploading using PHP on page 168-174.
She has two files:
1) an html form to receive the input from the user for the file to be
uploaded
2) a .php script to accept the variable and use the copy() function.
.............................................................
The scripts are as follows:
(html form)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Upload a File</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Upload a File</H1>
<FORM METHOD="post" ACTION="do_upload.php" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<p><strong>File to Upload:</strong><br>
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="img1" SIZE="30"></p>
<P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Upload File"></p>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
................................................
(.php script)
<?
if ($img1_name != "") {
@copy("$img1", "c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/$img1_name")
or die("Couldn't copy the file.");
} else {
die("No input file specified");
}
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Successful File Upload</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Success!</H1>
<P>You sent: <? echo "$img1_name"; ?>, a <? echo "$img1_size"; ?>
byte file with a mime type of <? echo "$img1_type"; ?>.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
......................................................
My questions:
I am able to upload a file from My Documents to the Apache server however
in her book, she describes that the user can verify that the file was
uploaded to the server by going to:
File/ Open Page / in ones web browser to navigate through their filesystem
to
find the file that was uploaded. There is a screenshot in the book that
shows the .jpeg file on the screen with the browser at:
file:///C/Apache/htdocs/blahblah.jpg
I can't seem to verify that the file exists using this method.
The only way I can verify that the file was indeed uploaded is to go into
the folder within Apache that was specified in the path and check there.
*How can I check by going through the browser window?*
Next question:
When I check that the file was uploaded, the file is saved in:
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/$img1_name
as the *regular *.jpeg name I originally gave it - not the variable - $img1.
Is this correct? Or, should the file be saved as:
img1?
And the last question:
This is the line I received upon sending the file:
You sent: KewpieSmall.jpeg, a 3127 byte file with a mime type of
image/pjpeg.
In her book, it says:
image/jpeg.
What is:
image/pjpeg.?
Many thanks and best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year.

Dear Listmembers,
I just started to structure WEBPRESENCE SERVICES in a way of generating
income for those participating in the venture. We're still building a
portfolio and just finished this site:
http://www.150plusidea.com/
On the "registration" link you see a contact information collection form,
which is connected to a MySQL db on the server via a PHP4 script.
Our GOAL is to develop that CONTACT INFORMATION/REGISTRATION FORM and its
management into a "COOKIE CUTTER" feature for our future clients. The
person which has handled the php scripting is no longer working with us,
hence we're looking for a new programmer who would like to play with us!
Please direct your response to:

I recall seeing a thread along these lines previously, but the search
functionality at lists.php.net is currently offline, and try as I might
to save messages that may prove useful to me in the future, I cannot get
them all.
So I apologize that this may be found elsewhere, or may be rehash for most
of you.
That given, I'm looking for the ability (using regex, i'm sure) to put
something like <foo>booger</foo> into a database (via a form), and have it
translate to $foo="booger" when php sucks it back out.
the eventual use of this will allow me to type something like:
that's very <m-w>tenacious</m-w> of you ...
and have the end output be ereg_replaced (or such) to:
that's very <a
href=http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=tenacious>tenacious</a> of
you ...
so i need to take whatever is within the <mw> tag, define that as
$word, and then replace the whole string (tags and word) with:
<a href="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=$word>$word</a>
follow me?
a simple answer will do, or a point towards an appropriate turorial may
serve me better in the long run
thanks in advance

Hello!
Two items in the new 4.10 change-log caught my attention:
* Introduced a new $_REQUEST array, which includes any GET, POST or
COOKIE variables. Like the other new variables, this variable is also
available regardless of the context. (Andi & Zeev)
* Introduced $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER and $_ENV variables, which
deprecate the old $HTTP_*_VARS arrays. In addition to be much shorter to
type - these variables are also available regardless of the scope, and
there's no need to import them using the 'global' statement. (Andi & Zeev)
However, I can't seem to find any documentation regarding these variables on
the php.net site. Any pointers? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

because they are not documented yet, but, will be. there really is
nothing else to say besides what you quoted, they act like their
counterparts except these new ones are global.
by counterparts i mean _GET == HTTP_GET_VARS so the manual entries on
those will apply. see the predefined variables section of manual and
phpinfo().
regards,
Philip Olson

hmm, now that i\'m trying to program with register_globals=off, what is the new
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS?
maybe there should be a page in the online manual describing these new variables for
easy reference after all, i can\'t find reference to them other than those on the
changelog too.
thanks
David

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS works, as will $_SESSION (after 4.1.0). These
"special" PHP variables are described in the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
Some words specific to $_SESSION are available within here:
http://www.php.net/release_4_1_0.php
An excerpt:
Another neat trick is that creating new entries in the $_SESSION array
will automatically register them as session variables, as if you called
session_register(). This trick is limited to the session module only - for
example, setting new entries in $_ENV will *not* perform an implicit
putenv().

The new vars will be listed and described in the manual eventually (fairly
soon). For now, read the above release notes.

See the docs found here:

Shown there is a way to do this.

What happened when you renamed the ph_gd.dll file to php_gd.dll? Did you
try that?
