You need to put line 6 ahead of all the HTML, ie make it line 0.

Lines 1, 2, and 3 are sending text to the browser.
You need to do your header operations first, THEN output the HTML.
Or put <? ob_start() ?> at the VERY beginning of the file (before any
HTML, before any blank space, before anything else).

Hi there, I need to sort out a "simple" mail script which does the
following. I have started the brainstorm if someone else could help with the
missing bits, where to look, etc:
CHECK POP3 MAIL FOR MSG:
--> crontab, but how???
IF MSG CHECK FROM EMAIL:
--> put mail into array then check from mail against db???
IF IT IS SEND TO EMAILS IN DB
--> mail(blah)
Therefore if an email is sent to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' then it would be forwarded
to everybody in the email db. This is as much as I need so was thinking of
writing my own instead of using something else. Any views?
Cheers, Ian.

Check out either running php from terminal or use wget/lynx to access a
certain page.

That is, if you want to store the e-mail server-side. Alternatively, you
can check destinations and send on-the-fly. Don't forget deleting the
e-mail from the server - I don't remember if it's a setting for
retrieving (flush) or if it's a distinct action for POP3. Alternatively
use an IMAP account and set the mail as read and move old mail to
folders based on date (monthly archives). Obviously, this is a personal
suggestion for a simple server - you could then check from outside using
IMAPS.

Umm....no they can't. pay_first.php is what you send them to if they don't
have a correct session. If the session is correct, show the download page.

Yes, but unauthorized users can still just key in the URL

I have toyed around with dynamically building the file when it is

How can I delete a file as soon as it has been downloaded?

John,
I appreciate your advice here. Please tolerate another question:
Your code example had the comment "//show download code....". That is
what I need. What is the "download code"?
Thanks,

Your solution is pretty easy. Assign a php script that will actually
send the download. At this point, your PHP script can do whatever
integrity checking you need for you to be satisfied payment occurred.
Then all you need to do is send a couple of headers and stream the file
directly to the end user.
I'd suggest headers like this:
<?PHP
/*
I'll assume you do authentication and whatnot up here. Errors,
warnings, redirects, whatever... all go up here. When you're
satisfied, move on to the stuff below. Make sure no other headers
have been sent by this point.
*/
header("Content-type: application/zip");
header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"the_file_name_you_want.zip\"");
// At this point, you may either construct, or stream whatever data
// you want. Just make sure it matches your declared Content-type.
readfile("any_file_you_want.zip");
?>
And done.
If you put the file you send somewhere out of the document root, the
download location can't even be reverse-engineered. This script is the
only way to get that file.

That's the key, right there. Combining that with sessions will make it
so that only people with the appropriate session will be able to access
the download script. Keeping it outside of the web root will make it so
no one can just type in the URL to the file.

Hi guys..
i've got a problem...
i'm remaking a webftp system...
i took some base of it on the web... great..
So.. one of the features is : it appears the name of a directory and how
many files are in it.
like that :
DIR (5) == 5 files on the DIR
i use
$arq=ftp_nlist($connection, "$xanda");
and count($arq) then i got how many files are on this DIR.
that works fine in threee different servers. But on an APPLE server, it
doesn't...
Anybody knows if the APPLE server has a different filesystem that could make
that trouble or any other stuff ?!?
PLZ HELP MEEEE !!!!!
Thnx in advance ...

Hi All,
I've been trying to figure this out based on stuff on php.net but can't
seem to get a result I need.
I have an array:
$formarray = array ("form1" => "var1", "form2" => "var2");
And now I'm using that array to create a form (fairly abbreviated):
while (list($key, $val) = each($formarray))
{
echo "$val:";
echo "<input name=\"$key\">
}
What I'm looking to do is set a value in my input tag if a value has
been set. That is, if this form has been submitted then the variable
$form1 will contain a value (well, $POST[$form1] will but you get the
idea).
I want to test if $form1 has a value and if it does then I can add a
value= arg in my input tag.
I've got as far as working out that $$key will give me the equivalent of
$form1 but how do I then work out if $form1 has a value?

Never mind, ${$key} was what I was looking for - my test case set the
wrong variable and that's why it didn't seem to be working.

You may want to code with E_NOTICE errors showing. To
show all levels, use error_reporting:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
This will show you undefined variables, and then some.
Note that error_reporting is both a function (runtime)
and a php directive.
Most PHP users feel that developing with E_ALL is good.

Philip Olson

hi,
I'm making a quoting system and need to have letters & Numbers inside the
quote number. Now if I was to grab the last quote number inserted into the
db and then do something like
//example of $quoteID value w/out letters
$quoteID = 20120250;
//example of $quoteID with letters
//$quoteID = abc20250;
$quoteNUM = $quoteID + 1;
echo $quoteNUM;
it will work fine .. but the minute i add a letter to this is doesn't... now
I know I can generate random numbers and letters but I need to have some
order about it so the quote numbers are not all over the place... Also as an
addition providing I can get this working .. I would also like to have it so
that if a quote was updated the quoteID would be changed ... eg: if the
quote number was abc20250 after it was updated it would be abc20250-A or
something along those lines ...
Cheers
Peter

Why does it have to be letters and numbers? You're just making more
work. You can use an auto_increment field and not worry about it
(assuming MySQL).
You can also use uniqid() and md5() to make a unique string, but it'll
be 32 characters long. Maybe crypt() is 16 characters...dunno, but you
could try that.

unfortunately they want letters in it ... I know it would be easier to hav
auto_incroment.. and wish I could just leave it at that ..
for the bulk of it i could get away with having no letters but they have
requested to have the letter in the update part .... eg 12345 becomes
12345-A after the update ...

Why does it have to be letters and numbers? You're just making more
work. You can use an auto_increment field and not worry about it
(assuming MySQL).
You can also use uniqid() and md5() to make a unique string, but it'll
be 32 characters long. Maybe crypt() is 16 characters...dunno, but you
could try that.

Okay...here's the "what they don't know won't hurt them solution":
CREATE TABLE (ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, Cnt CHAR(2),
Quote TEXT) AUTO_INCREMENT = 20120250;
Adjust your table accordingly, but the idea is that this auto_increment
column will now start counting at 20120250 and go up from there. So you
can get away with starting at a 7 or 8 digit number and make the quote
IDs look like they want. Use the 'Cnt' column as the "update" column.
Start it out with empty string as default. On first revision set it to
'A', etc. If you select out this column, you can use PHP to "add" a
letter. i.e.
for($x='a';$x<='z';$x++)
{ echo $x; }
That'll print the letters of the alphabet. Use the same concept to add
one to 'A' and get 'B'.
So the client will be happy b/c it looks like they want and you'll be
happy b/c you're using an auto_increment column.

Hi
You could use the auto increment feature of mysql and store the prefix and
suffix as seperate fields in the database like
idnum|prefix|suffix|data........
1234:abc|A
Then just add them together to form the complete order number.

How many emails are you sending? A batch of 100? or just one?
Have you ever successfully sent an email?
Have you tested using just one email address (rather than bulk)?
If you sending a bulk, my guess is the process is taking longer than the
maximum time allowed for a script on your server.
If not, my guess is that mail > PHP has not been connected properly during
install.

Could somebody look at this a tell me way it does not set the
password correctly. I know it has to run at root this has been
handled.
I think my problem is with --stdin. It sets a password but it does not
set it correctly
$cmd = "echo $newpassword | passwd --stdin $user";
return(exec($cmd));

In order to feed to stdin on another process, I think you need to use

e.g my directory structure is like below
/usr/manisha/www/invitation - where all php files are situated
/usr/manisha/incFiles - where all files are situated - from where I want to
read
There are also some files
/usr/manisha/www/invitation/msgFiles - From this directory also I am
reading some files
So you mean to say for the first one read thr direct path for second one
virtual path ?
What is reason behind it ? Is it that for first one it is not possible to
provide the virtual path (../../incFiles )?

You can use an absolute path for both, or use a relative path for both.
You can use ../../etc as your path. Just use whatever is easier for you
to understand and code. It doesn't make a difference.

What I'm saying is that if these files are in the same place, relative to
each other (this includes using "../") then I think it's easier to use
relative paths. The exception to this would be if the relative path length
is longer than the absolute path length

Thanks to all who responded.
I have concluded that - if directory structure is fixed then we shall use
relative path, so that we can copy the code as it is to different server
without changing anything.
But if we are not sure about the path on server - from where the files are
going to be fetched for reading - then better use actual path. We can even
keep the path in some include file and just change that path so only one
file gets changed.

OK - I've read the manual, looked at sample code....and I sadly am
missing something.
I'm doing (basically) this in my form:
<form action="someform.php" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" method="post"
name="replysub" id="replysub">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000">
<input type="file" name="subfile" id="subfile" size="50">
On the page it's submitted to, just to check the data, I did this:
$lineNo = 1;
echo "Dumping file info...<br>--------------------------<br>";
reset($_FILES);
while (list ($key, $val) = each($_FILES['subfile'])) {
echo "$lineNo $key => $val<br>";
$lineNo++;
}
....and I get this:
Dumping file info...
--------------------------
1 name => somefile.exe
2 type => application/x-msdownload
3 tmp_name => none
4 size => 0
Where do I start looking to figure out why tmp_name and size don't get
set? Why doesn't this file get uploaded?
Thanks!

Not that I know of, but webmonkey has a decent tutorial, and the manual is

Hi all,
I have the following code :
**************************************************************
setcookie("currentUserClass", $class, time()+3600, '', '', 0);
setcookie("currentUserEmail", $emailId, time()+3600, '', '', 0);
setcookie("currentUserName", $name, time()+3600, '', '', 0);
if ($role & 8)
{
setcookie("isModerator", 'yes', time()+3600, '', '', 0);
}
***************************************************************
This code works fine in my local machine (all cookie variables are set with
given values). When I took it to another server, only the last cookie gets
set. ie, either $currentUserName is set or $isModerator is set based on the
condition.
To reassure, I interchanged the second cookie (currentUserEmail) & the third
(currentUserName) set commands. Now also only the last cookie set is
available for use.
This is really puzzling me. Any lead will be appriciated.
(I am using a free hosting server running php 4.1 on Linux.)
Regards,
Jagan

This is not entirely a PHP question & I should know the answer,
but ...
I'm trying to figure out how to correct the proper format for
simulating the data sent in a POST. I believe the basic syntax
is
name1=value1&name2=value2 ...
Is this correct?
If so, how are the value's encoded? Is each value surrounded by
""? Do I need to urlencode() each value (without the surrounding
"")?
Any help appreciated.

No you can do
Index.php?name=apokalyptik&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&subscribe=n
o
&&
<?php
echo '<pre>';
echo 'NAME: '.$name.chr(10);
echo 'EMAIL: '.$email.chr(10);

That is correct for GET information, but not for POST.
POST is not passed through the QUERY_STRING like GET is.
If you _really_ want to mimick POST (it doesn't sound
like you do) then consider:
Using PHP, how do I send a http POST without using a form?

I you plan to pass non-url friendly values through
the URL, then using urlencode() is a good idea. For
example:
$words = "Cheese is good";
echo '<a href="yep.php?motto='. urlencode($words) .'">hi</a>';
Which essentially makes:
yep.php?motto=Cheese+is+good
More information on what urlencode exactly does and
related information (like for htmlentities), see the
manual entry:
http://www.php.net/urlencode

The one thing I can suggest is the readline functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.readline.php
That may not be exactly what you want, but it's probably the closest
you're going to get to what you want.

I do not understand why PHP is trying to pull row 2!! I want to create an
array of data and construct a table from a query. The echo of $rows shows 2
rows, so if I'm setting my variable to 0 and incrementing with each loop, it
doesn't make sense to me why it tries to pull row 2. It should stop at row
1 because the next loop would make the variable 2 and the if says if $ii is
less than 2.
WHAT AM I MISSING!?
I have a while loop written to pull data from a postgreSQL database. I have
2 and only 2 rows of data in this table. Probably labeled within PostgreSQL
as '0' and '1'. The browser displays the error message along with the
proper table listed below it!!
Warning: Unable to jump to row 2 on PostgreSQL result index 2 in
/var/www/html/steve/frontdoor.php on line 92
sgaas Steve Gaas
mjohnson Matt Johnson
The code is:
<?
$results = pg_exec($link, "select * from users");
if (!$link) {
print "Could not connect";
}
$ii = 0;
$rows = pg_numrows($results);
if ($rows) {
echo "There are $rows rows of data in $localdb";
}
echo "<BR>\n<HR>";
?>
<table>
<?
if ( $ii < $rows) {
while ($tabledata = pg_fetch_array($results, $ii)) { <--(LINE 92)
$username = $tabledata["username"];
$firstname = $tabledata["firstname"];
$lastname = $tabledata["lastname"];
echo "<TR>\n";
echo "<td>$username</td>\n";

The if statement only runs once. At the time it is run the statement is true
(ie $ii < 2) ...

while ($tabledata = pg_fetch_array($results)) {
$username = $tabledata["username"];

I began to write a function that correctly diveded
up the months into their correct UNIX timestamps and wrote content from a
database accordingly.
I have had an idea that maybe eaiser to implement
but slower. Could one or two people tell me what the think and if it is a good
idea. I am also interested in speed and efficiany of both methods.
The original method is:
I do a few maths functions to get the value in
seconds of each month etc
New Method:
I do string compares with with dates then convert
them to UNIX timestamps.

Just a query ... has any one else noticed this
for($i = a; $i < z; $i++)
{
print $i;
echo "<BR>";}
will print out a right down to yz
but replace the letters with numbers eg
for($i = 1; $i < 10; $i++)
{
print $i;
echo "<BR>";}
and it prints 1 thru to 10
and any one know a reason for this?

... so if it does otherwise for you then you've got a bug in your version of
php!

Can anyone suggest linux based software for translating english to
multiple languages ?
I have a dynamic content database which I need to translate into other
languages. It need to run on my linux server where I can pass a string as a
system call and get back the translated output. Price range can be free to
$600ish. Any suggestions? I can't use any web/hosted cgi, bablyfish, type
applications. It has to run on my server.

To do it efficiently, you need to pre-index the documents. Rather than
starting from scratch, better to see if there's something already written
that can do it for you. For starters, have a look at:

I'm just learning sessions, and thought the class looked interesting on
this page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
So I have this on an index.phtml page and I can see the variables are
being set and all looks good there, however upon successful "login" I
wish to redirect to content.phtml At the very top of content.phtml I
have:
<?php
if( $login->getSessionVar("login") )
{
$booth_id = $login->getSessionVar("booth_id");
$booth_name = $login->getSessionVar("booth_name");
echo "\n<BR>booth_id = $booth_id and booth_name =
$booth_name<BR>\n";
}
else
{
Header("Location: ../index.phtml\n\n");
exit;
}
?>
But it doesn't seem that $login exists or is defined now on this page?
So my question is basically, how can I use the class and the session
variables across multiple pages? Do I need to move the class to an
include file? Do I need to re-create it on each page somehow? Can
someone show me a real working example of this scenario?

Hi all,
I'm busy building a website. I cannot use frames.
Every page can be divided in a table with 3x3 cells.
The row will be my main menu.
The first column wil be submenu.
The middel cell will display the actual content.
| |
<--main menu-->
----------------|-------------- |---------------
sub | main | sub content
menu | content |
| |
----------------|-------------- |--------------
<--footer-->
| |
the main menu will always be the same, same as the footer --> includes
the main content cell depends on which submenu function is choosen.
Some submenu items are:
login
search in database
add to your favourite items
add to basket
Now I was wondering how to build my site. How should I deal with a function like 'add
to basket'. I mean, when a certain item is displayed and the customer wants to add it
to their basket I have call the script add_to_basket.php or something like that.
However I don't want to leave the page where the item is displayed, cause that's
confusing to the visitor. Even more..In the 'sub-content' cell I want to display data
about ordering info, like there are so many items in the basket.
So I have to call upon a script which stores the info about add_to_basket, load a
total new page where 1 table cell changes, namely the sub-content cell, but still
displayes the original product.
So, If I were to use frames It could be done, but now I'm not thinking of frames but
of displaying content dynamically in a tabe cell.
I would very much appreciate your expert opinion on this matter, I'm sure every idea
helps me form my own ideas which I can use.
maybe there are people out there who have done this kind of thing, or know about large
sites which use this same concept....
Any philosophies are much appreciated!

I had downloaded the source for php 4.1.2 from rpmfind.
I compiled the extensions, i had the two necessary files : libphp_java.do
and php_java.jar.
When i try to access excute a simple script done with the java extension, i
have no response, it's take a long time before it's tell me that the page
is not found. When i read the apache log , i see that Apache had crached the
child.
My config in php.ini :
java.class.path=/usr/lib/php/extensions/php_java.jar
java.home=/usr/java/java
