i'm sweating on this one :
function sql_fetch_row($res, $nr)
{
global $dbtype;
switch ($dbtype) {
case "MySQL":
$row = mysql_fetch_row($res);
return $row;
break;;
...
}
it iz used in a php_layer.php from phpnuke, but somehow it gives errors... if i put a
"@" like this:
$row = @mysql_fetch_row($res);
i get no errors, but no result either. Where stands the @ for? I can't find any info
on thizz, what's wrong?

But an @ before a function suppresses error messages, it doesn't make errors go away, so it's doing precisely what it is supposed to. I also see two ;'s in a row, perhaps that is the problem, or perhaps the query was bad and that renders fetch_row useless. We or anyone would have a far better chance of helping out if you explained what the error is... it will be alot easier than debunking the code of phpnuke on our own.--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---Hi, I've about had it with my current hosting company as they've turned off SSH for the past month due to "security reasons" which means I can no longer add/remove tables from my MySQL database. Looking at two other hosting companies - SBC Webhosting - www.webhosting.com and Verio - www.verio.com Does anyone here use either of these companies? If so, could you please let me know your opinions of each? Thanks -Tim--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---Hi, In my seemingly never ending search for a decent hosting company, I've contacted some customer service people from Verio who tell me a very interesting story ... they're currently upgrading their PHP to version 5 ... which I find odd as there's only mention of 4.2.0 on php.net ... So my question is, was the guy I was talking to knowledgeable of inside things, or did he not have a clue what he was talking about? Thanks -Tim--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---He has no clue. There is no PHP 5. The next version will be 4.2.1 next week and probably 4.3 after that. -Rasmus On Sat, 11 May 2002, Tim Thorburn wrote: > Hi, > > In my seemingly never ending search for a decent hosting company, I've > contacted some customer service people from Verio who tell me a very > interesting story ... they're currently upgrading their PHP to version 5 > ... which I find odd as there's only mention of 4.2.0 on php.net ... > > So my question is, was the guy I was talking to knowledgeable of inside > things, or did he not have a clue what he was talking about? > > Thanks > -Tim > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---Hey Tim, I'm using 321go.biz for my hosting needs. Not a single problem so far and around 30-90 minutes for each support question to be solved which i think is pretty good. They are slightly expensive though but i joined for the Java part, got PHP free! Now that i'm into PHP I see they also offer PHP Jpeg support.... Anyway, hope that was helpful.

TCL 1, PHP 0
Ok, I am frustrated.. here is my code and this portion has to be done in
PHP. I have a frame that can only be accessed if 1 of 2 things occur:
1) if $HTTP_REFERER has a specific value
2) if your nickname passed in the query string is found in the existing
nicknames.txt file found in /chat/nicknames.txt
Here is the code:
<?
// Security measure to prevent bookmarking of page unless nickname exists
in nicknames.txt
$contents = "";
if (!preg_match("/\bchat_process_nickname\b/i", $HTTP_REFERER)) {
$canAccessChatroom = 1;
if (strlen($nickname) < 2) $canAccessChatroom = 0;
if (!file_exists($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/chat/nicknames.txt"))
$canAccessChatroom = 0;
if ($canAccessChatroom == 1) {
$fileID = fopen($DOCUMENT_ROOT. "/chat/nicknames.txt", r) or die ("could
not open file");
if (!$fileID) {
$canAccessChatroom = 0;
} else {
$contents = fread($fileID);
fclose($fileID);
}
}
if ($canAccessChatroom == 1 && strlen($contents) == 0) $canAccessChatroom
= 0;
if ($canAccessChatroom == 1 && !preg_match("/[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+/",
$contents)) $canAccessChatroom == 0;
if ($canAccessChatroom == 1) {
if (!preg_match("/\b$nickname\b/i", $contents)) $canAccessChatroom == 0;
}
if ($canAccessChatroom == 0) {
echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content='1;URL=http://"; . $SERVER_NAME .
"/chat/chat_login.php'>\n";
echo "<script>\n<!--\n location.href='http://"; . $SERVER_NAME .
"/chat/chat_login.php';\n\/\/-->\n</script>\n";
}
}
?>
No matter what I do, however, the file cannot be accessed if it exists and
causes damage galore. Can anyone out there help me figure out what I did
wrong; I'm completely stumped and may have to rewrite this portion of the
chatroom in TCL, all of my TCL scripts have had NO problems whatsoever
accessing the txt files.

Notes:
o What version of PHP?
o Is register_globals on or off? i.e. are you sure $DOCUMENT_ROOT
has a value and that you're not trying to open '/chat/nicknames.txt'?
o Quote the 'r' in the fopen() call.
o Try this all with error_reporting(E_ALL) and fix (not with '@')
everything it complains about.
o Your second regex checks that $contents contains at least one alpha-
numeric or an underscore or a hyphen. Looks like it should be
checking that the string contains *only* those characters.
o fread() takes 2 parameters, not one.
o 'damage galore' doesn't tell us anything. What *exactly* is the
current result of running the below?

This will bail on the first directory entry which has a name which
evaluates to false. Try it after 'touch 0' in the directory you're
scanning....the examples in the manual show how to do it safely.

Have a look at
ADDDATE() and SUBDATE()
mysql> SELECT DATE_ADD("1997-12-31 23:59:59",
-> INTERVAL 1 DAY);
-> 1998-01-01 23:59:59
DATE_FORMAT(date,format) will also be very helpful to
use in your queries, allowing you to return your mysql
date in a human friendly format of choice.

Hello all,

print_r(array_values ($ips));
And well i am getting nothing!

OK, this is an "authentication with PHP newbie" question...
Env:
WinNT 4.0, SP6a
PHP 4.2.0
Apache 2.0.36
MySQL 4.0.1
Development/sandbox
Trying to get accustomed to PHP 4.2.0 and PHP's preference for
register_globals off, I have register_globals off.
However, when I try to use $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW, my script fails
(attempting to validate username and password credectials against MySQL...no
error message and my login failure message does not show up, even after
three unsuccessful challenge responses.
When I set register_globals on, I am successful in gaining authorization
(ie, the header('WWW-Auth....' is correct, the script works, the MySQL
connection works and the query works).
How, then do I define th $PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW variables up front
with register_globals off?
The docs offer nothing that has led me to a logical answer.
TIA!!
Mike =====>script copied below
<?php
// Check to see if $PHP_AUTH_USER already contains info
if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
// If empty, send header causing dialog box to appear
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Authentication Area"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "You can't get in!";
exit;
} elseif(isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)){
// If non-empty, check the database for matches
// connect to MySQL
$db=mysql_pconnect("host", "username", "password")
or die("Unable to connect to database.");
// select database on MySQL server
mysql_select_db("mydb",$db)
or die("Unable to select database.");
// Formulate the query
$sql = "SELECT username, password
FROM auth
WHERE username='$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND
password='$PHP_AUTH_PW'";
// Execute the query and put results in $result
$result = mysql_query($sql);
// Get number of rows in $result. 0 if invalid, 1 if valid.
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if($num != "0") {
echo "<P>You are authorized!</p>";
exit;
} else{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Authentication Area""');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "You need to login with correct credentials.";
exit;
}
}

They are in the $_SERVER superglobal. Change your references to them
to...
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
and
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']
You might want to read up on what register_globals actually does since
it's clear that you don't fully understand it yet:

Thanks, Stuart.
I'll admit I don't "fully" I understand register_globals. Beyond that, I am
sure I am not clear on the value of NOT using register_globals. I am wading
through the docs constantly. Haven't quite finished.
Regardless, thanks for the assist.

I have a script where I need to get the text from line number "$line" in
file "$filename" then save it to a var ($text) and then print it. For
example, in the file lamb.txt (just an example file):
"Mary was
a little lamb, whose
fleece
was as
white as snow."
I need to get line number 3 ("fleece") and print it ("print $text").
How would I go about this?

fopen() the file and call fgets() three times. The return from the third
fgets call will contain the third line (including the terminating newline,
so strip() it if you don't want that).

But a database does not have to be installed on the server for you to make use of a database.

It's a benefit of PHP. Unlike certain other languages, PHP gives you finer control over how things are sent. The side-effect of this is that you are able to attempt things that don't make sense and can't work. If you want to use setcookie() anywhere within your PHP program, then just call ob_start() at the top of your code and go to town. miguel--- End Message ---

Argh!
I hate it when one little annoying thing starts up right when I think I have
the coding finished! I have the following code:
if($last_name) {
printf("%s
%s's<br><b>%s</b><br>%s\n</td>",$first_name,$last_name,$year,$color);
} else {
printf("%s's<br><b>%s</b><br>%s\n</td>",$first_name,$year,$color);
}
So if the person has a last name in the database, print "John Doe's 1990
Red" and if they don't, print "John's 1990 Red".
This is in a while() statement, and it works except that on one particular
query, the last record that comes up has a NULL value for the last name, but
rather than printing $first_name's it prints $first_name $last_name using
the last name of the previous record!
Am I missing something there? Do I need to clear out a variable somewhere?
It seems like since $last_name isn't even called in the else statement, it
shouldn't even be showing up!

It would seem the only way this could happen is if $last_name evaluates to
true. Two suggestions:
1) Make some extra change in one of the printf statements so you can see
which one is really being called.
2) If that doesn't illuminate anything, show a little more code.

--- Begin Message ---Thanks for the debugging tip... Seems that the 'else' statement wasn't being called at all, so for some reason $last_name was evaluating to true even though there's a NULL entry for that record/field. I used a different query, where a person with a NULL last_name showed up first, and the 'else' statement still wasn't being called but there was no $last_name showing. Anyway, I added "ORDER BY last_name" to my mysql_query() statement and for some reason the 'else' statements started working. Any ideas on why that would be? I'm glad it works now, but I'm a little confused as to why it works.

Hi,
I am trying to send html pages via email, that is instead of sending plain text format
to the client I am trying to send Rich Text using mail function of PHP. At first I was
sending
--------------------------
Hello Bob,
Thanks for downloading this from my site
--------------------------
BUT for Rich Text I am doing
--------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN'>

<font face="Verdana" size="2">
Hi,
<br>
Thanks for downloading this from my site
</font>
</td>
</tr>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------
But what happens is instead of sending html page it sends as a text with all code
displayed as it is without being parsed.
Please tell what can I do to send rich text emails as the this one u are reading to
the clients using PHP mail function.
Kind Regards
