There are several helpful people on the list, but you have to ask specific
questions. If you want someone to do it for you, then you should give folks
an idea what what you're willing to pay per hour or for the entire project.

I have been using the mkdir function sucessfully on my windows test machine, but when
I uploaded my pages to my hosting server (which is linux) I get a permission error
when the mkdir function is called. I know I can create directories because I can do
it fine when I am using ws-ftp uploading pages...any ideas? Here is the mkdir call..
mkdir("$uname",0777);
Thanks,
Eddie

The problem is that your webserver is not running as "you"...it's
running under a common user (probably nobody or apache) and that user
does not--and cannot--have access to your folder for security reasons.
You can try creating the directory through ftp via PHP.

Ok here is what I need help with
I need help with how to set up the layout of this project
1st I know I need a create account page for owners to create
there username and password.
Then once they successfully filled in the form they are logged in
And taken to the Team choice page..
Then once you click that you are taken two your team page.
Their you can view all team stats, Roster, and Schedules
For NFL and Fantasy Team Schedule
Then you would have links on your team page
That would be like
Claim
Drop
Trade
Submit starters
Claim
Would take you to a page that showed you all of the available players,
with there stats and bye week.
You would then choose your player by checking the box to the right of
the total stats column.
Once you hit claim is one of the hard parts for me.
The player claim after selecting him and hitting saved. Will have a
decision of being added to the roster or denied added to roster, there
are three ways that are denied. 1.over roster size 2. over salary cap
3. after deadline.
If over Roster size you are take to Roster to drop player to get under
rosters size
Then take back to the page to claim player then hit claim on player and
save and the transaction is completed. This is the same thing for the
salary cap if decision is
Under $40.000.00.
This is a major problem for me. Im not sure how to link all of this
together.
I Can create normal pages and tables and forms. But the paths and php
code I need
Help with..
Drop
You can always just drop a player and his name would appear on the free
agent list in real time fashion.
I want all this to be done I Real time fashion and also I want emails
sent to me as they were done. And completed.
Trades
Trades can happen the same way has the rules 1 2 3 for claim players
They have to meet all criteria.
But the interface I want side by side teams and owners be able to choose
the players and hit check and save..
If met all criteria it happens and I get email. Then you see the players
traded on there new Teams.
Submit starters
Can be a table with check boxes and hit save total players aloud to
start we can determine when site is made
Then once you hit save you are back at you team page. But it has to be
in before you league deadline.
Once starters are submitted I want owners to be able to go to a page to
view all starters that all owners did for that week.
And I need to have all these issues done in real time.
And my database is setup in mysql
Would any want to help me with this please get with me asap
I need to be able to talk to you thru the end and make sure I do shit
right.
I want to do all the work, just need a teacher. Please any help would be
greatly appreciated.

As they say, "Just Do It". Ask specific, PHP-related questions as you have
them. If you don't know anything about using PHP and MySQL, buy one of the
many fine books available on the subject. Or, you could just pay someone
to do it for you.

If your looking for a book Karl, I would suggest PHP
Advanced by Larry Ullman.
Very easy to follow, very quick to help you figure out
things.
Takes a small amount of knowledge to learn, probably
should know some programming.
Thought that might help

Questions such as? If you have fairly specific questions then they are usually
answered quite quickly on this list.
Open-ended requests such as yours, as you've found out for yourself, are
usually ignored.
Honestly it looks as if you're trying to do something beyond your current
capabilities and you don't even know where to begin.
If this is a commercial project just save yourself some grief and pay someone
to do it for you.
Otherwise start small. Try the many tutorials that are available on the web,
learn about how to connect/retrieve/display information from a database, how
to perform user authentication etc. Once you've broadened your knowledge you
may be able to see where the pieces fit together and then you can start your
project.

Well, I don't think there's a book that would tell you how to do things
"all the way". Besides, if there is, programming wouldn't be fun anymore ;)
Start from small things--I'm sure you'll be glad that you did...
> And still leaves with lots of questions.
Bring 'em in one by one--I'm sure there's a lot of people here who will
be willing to help esp. if you throw in specific questions :)

Sorry for the inappropriate cross-posting Sterling. I was explicitly
looking for answers from people with inside knowlegde about the direction
development on the scanner is likely to go. I'm a little confused by your
answer: I take it you think I'm relatively safe leaving off the ?>. Did I
get your meaning correctly?

I agree it's bad style - feels kinda like leaving off </html>. On the other
hand, I've got a situation where it's very easy for any of a number of
developers to break binary output in an unobvious way by editing quite
unrelated files (related only by a big tree of common includes). I'm
looking for a practical solution.
I can configure *my* editor (though it might take me some time to learn how
to do this in emacs). When dealing with a team of people, each with his own
religious convictions re text editor of choice, it's difficult enough to get
everyone to use spaces instead of tabs.
I know this is undocumented (I spent a lot of time reading archives of these
groups before posting). I have a hunch, though, that this is the kind of
fundamental behavior of the scanner that's not gonna change any time soon.
If it does, I hope it will break catastophically rather than mysteriously.

Hey,
Got a problem using the header function on a file upload page to redirect
the user back to a web page. Here's the code:
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
$filedest = "/home/$directory";
if (copy($clientfile,"$filedest/$clientfile_name"))
header("Location: http://www.webfusion.net.au...";);
else
print("Error");
Any ideas on how i would get this to work. The error which shows is
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent....
Thanks in advance.

Try removing all leading spaces between the shebang and the beginning of

Thanks Ernest for your suggestion.
I tried you idea with forward and backward slashes and
nothing seem
to change. I still see the return_var of 128. PHP is
trying to tell me what
the problem was, but I am unable to find what 128
means. Any idea as
where the the "return_var" for the "system" and "exec"
commands are defined?
Thanks

Just a little point-out that I used max() not count() because I need to
loop on the *largest value* in the array, not how many *elements* are
actually in the array. But the logic is still sound, and it is true that
calling a function is sub-optimal it seems, even though my array doesn't
change in any way when the for loop is called. PHP still calls the max()
or count() function each time anyways. So alas, I have to create another
variable that serves one single purpose and has a very finite lifespan.

Thanks all for taking the time to help me out. I
finally got the problem resolved. It appears that PHP
was trying to use cygwin1.dll and could not find it.
I am not sure why; I didn't think I even need
cygwin to run php w/ Apache. Once I put a copy of
cygwin1.dll in my system32 directory, my c++
.exe file started running.
Hope this helps someone else. If someone knows why
PHP needs any cygwin dlls, I would be interested in
knowing the reason.

it seems my last post failed, let me try again:
I just compiled/installed apache/php4.2.3 with postgres
support. the default php.ini-dist is used. I added
extension=pgsql.so
but when I start apache, error_log shows it can't find
pgsql.so.
after some trial and error, I found the following line in
the default php.ini causes the problem:
extension_dir = ./
if I comment this line out, apache can load pgsql.so fine.
I also tried to change to
extension_dir = /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429
this also solves the problem.
My question is: is the default value in php.ini incorrect
or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

I've been noticing that with Windows XP session variables migrate between
open browser windows, where in other versions of Windows the session
variables are kept within the browser window that they were initialized in.
The problem with this is that it seems like my website gets confused by
this, and thus people are unable to properly use some of the functionality.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered problems like this, and if
so, how they managed to solve the issue.

Jason,
I'm running Windows XP with Apache and PHP 4.2.0. I never experienced such a
problem with XP and sessions. I did, however, have to change the session
path in the php.ini file for the sessions to save to the correct temporary
directory. Maybe you have overlooked that?

While testing my site with various browsers, I've run into a viewing problem
in IE6 and Mac/IE5.1.
In IE6, all I see is a line (which would be the base of the picture), while
in Mac/IE the output is 1" wide x 4" high and highly distorted. (that's why
I set height to 'auto' - to allow for varying heights).
I'm wondering:
Is my code at fault:
<?php
/* lotsa code here */
$_SESSION['px'] = "1";
session_write_close();
. . .
. . . <td align='left'><img src='/pix/{$_SESSION['rpix']}' width='120'
height='auto'></a></td> . . . ";
/* Is an 'alt=??' necessary in there? */
?>
Or is it a browser issue?
The code works well with Opera 6.01, Mozilla 0.98, and Konqueror 2.2.2
Any help where to look would be greatly appreciated.
Tia,
Andre

I want to know recommendations securing GET | POST | SESSIONS or other data
in WebPages.
One site I may be developing for the local govt has the need to take and
receive data from a database and data will be past with GET | POST |
SESSIONS.
Any recommendations regarding this would be welcome.
The server is a national web host, one of two I may be using... both of
which are reasonably secure.

Make sure that you're using SSL (https).
Also, (maybe not directly related though...) if possible, separate your web
server from your database server. And also, you might want to create
different database users for different purposes (i.e. one user can ONLY
select, another ONLY for updating, etc.). You can even forget about a user
that can delete data--you can always do it yourself offline or at least not
via the web server.

Assuming 1 character = 1 byte, then strlen().

Just write the string to a file first then check the filesize. This should
work (I think)
even if you're dealing with multi-byte characters wherein 1 character = 2
bytes
(or more?).
There's mb_strlen() but I don't think it'll be useful though...

I have a database that stores a value of the type double. I do a SUM()
query on the column and return save the value to a variable called,
'$amount' which I divide into a fixed value (5000) . The math works out
fine when $amount < 1000. However, when $amount > 1000, then the decimal
places are wrong.
// successful query, now fetch the data.
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
if (!$row) {
return (-1);
}
$dollar = $row[0];
$tmp = ($dollar)/((double)5000);
echo $tmp;
return ($dollar);
$amount = 1,104.40
the result of echo, $tmp is displayed as '0.0002'. What's wrong here? The
problem only occurs when the value is greater than a 1,000? Could the ','
messed the computation up somehow? I did another computation
$a = 1000
$b = 5000
$c = $a/$b;
Thanks,
-Peter
$c does equal '0.2' which is correct.

why don't you submit it to a php script (instead of using the mailto ) and get mail()
to email it to you, you could also process it and save the info somewhere.

Why don't you try something like this first. Create a form that
1. When a visitor clicks on "Submit", the entered data would be echoed to
the browser.
Simply googling for "forms php", I found an interesting tutorial:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/phpmanual/page/tutorial.forms.html
Try it first or the others in the results page. (I didn't really read it but
it looks good.) Then,
2. After that you might want to learn how to validate the data entered--you
don't want any bad/malicious data being sent to you or to your server, no?
(Again, you can google for this or even search the archives how to do it.)
3. THEN, perhaps you can learn how to send mail using forms. You might want
to do some reading first in the manual:

Sorry about that guys, here is a bit more info that might be useful:
I forgot to tell you that I'm working on a Windows XP box with full rights,
which means the default temporary directory is C:\WINDOWS\Temp and there are
no limitations on what I can and cannot access on the system (running as
system administrator). I did change that default to C:\PHP\tmp_uploads. I
ran this script with the default temp directory as well, same result.
I tried the code at http://www.php.net/manual/sk/features.file-upload.php
and listed the results of the test below. I simplified the code a little,
and here it is:
--------------[clip
start]--------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
if ($submit) {
if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])) {
echo "The temporary file exists";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack.";
}
echo "<br> Filename: " . $_FILES['userfile']['name']
. "<br> Mime-Type: " . $_FILES['userfile']['type']
. "<br> File Size: " . $_FILES['userfile']['size'] . " bytes"
. "<br> Temporary File Name: " . $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
. "<br> Error: " . $_FILES['userfile']['error'];
} else {
?>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="img_upload.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<?php } ?>
--------------[clip
end]--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what's happening:
2. When the submit button is pushed, the files are uploaded through the form
but the temporary file is never created on the system. I did a search on the
entire C: drive for the temporary file that should have been created, but
it's not there.
Here is the data received after the file is supposedly uploaded with a GIF
image:
The temporary file exists
Filename: icon_processing.gif
Mime-Type: image/gif
File Size: 408 bytes
Temporary File Name: C:/PHP/tmp_uploads\php93.tmp
Error: 0
Here is the data received after the file is supposedly uploaded with a JPG
image:
The temporary file exists
Filename: Sunset.jpg
Mime-Type: image/pjpeg
File Size: 71189 bytes
Temporary File Name: C:/PHP/tmp_uploads\php95.tmp
Error: 0
NOTE: The error code 0 means that there was no error uploading the file.
THE QUESTION: Shouldn't PHP automatically create a temporary file of the
uploaded image? Is there something I'm missing in the php.ini settings?
If you have any other questions that might help you further your probe into
this problem, please let me know. Thanks...

Assuming that you webserver really does have access to write to those
directories then ...

... you didn't read the manual like I suggested. Because otherwise you'll know
that "the file will be deleted from the temporary directory at the end of the
request if it has not been moved away or renamed."
If you didn't 'simplify' the example and removed the all important copy() or
move_uploaded_file() then you would have had something that worked!
