Hey there,
I was just looking at the date/time functions
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php) and I can't seem to find a
function that can format a date that is supplied in the format of a DATETIME
column.
So, I was wondering, is there a function that can format it properly or
should I let the database handle the formatting (I'm really new to SQL, I
didn't come across anything to mod in the select statement yet). I could
ofcourse split it on space for a time and a date var and then split the date
on -'s for years, months and days but efficient is something else I think
:-) In the archives I saw some examples doing exactly that, but nothing with
a single function (unless home defined ofcourse).
Kind regards and TIA

You should be able to use strtotime() to transform the datetime string
into a UNIX timestamp, which you can then format back using date().
However, this is a very circuitous way--either use SQL to format it or,
if your DBMS supports it, have it returned already as a UNIX timestamp.
The actual SQL commands depend on which DBMS you actually use.

You can use the DATE_FORMAT() function in your SELECT query to format
the date however you want it. Or, you can use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() to pull
it out in the unix format and then use the PHP function date() to format
it.

Using MS Win 98 / Apache Server:
I'm trying to test a form box using the php mail() function.
All is well when I fill in the text boxes and hit submit.
I receive the e-mail.
The form action in the html page is:
<FORM ACTION="http://localhost/getform.php"; METHOD="POST">
_Now_
when I copy both of those files which are:
1. The html file for the form box
- I have now changed the form action to read:
<FORM ACTION="http://www.narrowsburg.org/getform.php"; METHOD="POST">
and
2. the .php file for the script
and publish them to my site which is hosted on my ISP's MS Server, and then
input data in the form boxes and hit submit:
I now get the following:
..........................
NOTICE: Undefined Variable: name in
d:\inetpub\www.narrowsburg.org\getform.php in line 7
........................
Then, when I check my e-mail I get a message with no input data from the
variables like the name, e-mail, address, etc.
Thanking all in advance who might help me out.

Best guess, your local server has register_globals on and your ISP
doesn't. However, without seeing your code it's going to be difficult to
tell for sure! :-)

Hey Anthony--
It's definitely a register_globals problem. Your ISP has turned it off
because it's generally considered a significant security risk.
The best way to solve it is to use the superglobal $_POST to access your
post data. In your PHP script, change all the variables that you take
from the form into their $_POST[''] equivalent (see below for a rough
example--I put the assignments at the beginning because I wanted to
touch your code as little as possible). Also, keep in mind that you're
not performing any checks on the data--I'm sure you want to do it once
you've sorted the current problem out, but the way it is now you're
leaving yourself exposed to a number of possible attacks.
$thename = $_POST['thename'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$bizname = $_POST['bizname'];
$contactname = $_POST['contactname'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mailing = $_POST['mailing'];
$town = $_POST['town'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$cat = $_POST['cat'];
if (($thename == "") && ($email == "") && ($description == "")) {
header("Location: http://localhost/n_proserv_x.html";);
exit;
}
$msg = "This e-mail was sent from:\n";
$msg .= "Sender's Name: $thename\n";
$msg .= $thename ."'s business name is: $bizname\n";
$msg .= "The contact person is: $contactname\n";
$msg .= $thename. "'s phone number is: $phone\n";
$msg .= $thename. "'s e-mail address is: $email\n";
$msg .= $thename. "'s mailing address is: $mailing\n";
$msg .= "Town: $town\n";
$msg .= "State: $state\n";
$msg .= "Zip Code: $zip\n";
$msg .= $thename."'s category is: $cat\n";
$msg .= "and the message is: $description\n\n";
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce";
$mailheaders = "From: $thename\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply to:$email\n\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

Yep.
That did it. Thanks again Marco.
Two more questions:
1. Can you give me some examples about:
"leaving yourself exposed to a number of possible attacks."
and
2. Where can I pick up the PHP magazine in your post sig.

I got a generic ³text to png on the fly² script which works fine but I want
to change it so that the image only the size of the text. (so the text has
no border, or padding around it) For and example of what I want to do check
out: http://www.spoono.com/font/?string=This is what i want to do&.png
I have the script:
<?
Header("Content-type: image/png");
if(!isset($s)){$s=8;}
$size =
imagettfbbox($s,0,"/home/xelerix/public_html/font/fonts/04B_03__.TTF",$text)
;
$dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
$dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
$xpad=9;
$ypad=9;
$im = imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad);
$bg = ImageColorAllocate($im, 102,102,102);
$white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255);
ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2), $dy+(int)($ypad/2), $white,
"/home/xelerix/public_html/font/fonts/04B_03__.TTF", $text);
imagepng($im);
ImageDestroy($im);
?>
The text for the image is called from a url like
www.xelerix.com/font/font.php?text=Hi
Thanks!

By their very name, I would guess these two values are used as padding to give
a border around the text. Try removing them.

I am a PHP beginner so this error may be a stupid one. Anyway, I'm
trying to write a simple addition script. The client enters two numbers,
then my script (adder.php) adds them. However, when the script is run, I
get "Parse Error On Line 3" I have no idea exactly what I have done wrong.
Here is the script.
<?
print ("Your first number is:$firstnumber\n")
print ("Your second number is:$secondnumber\n")
$answer=$firstnumber+$second number
echo ("The answer is: $answer\n")
?>
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

PHP code lines must end with a semi-colon (;).
Also, HTML newlines are <br> (not \n)
Some PHPs won't like the short tags, recommend: <?PHP

Hi all,
I have several tables from which I have to fetch certain products &
categories based on customer selection. The tables are as follows:
Table 1 - Categories
catid (autonum)
catname
Table 2 - Sub categories
subcatid (autonum)
subcatname
Table 3 - Products
prodid (autonum)
prodname
Table 4 - Relationships
Catid
Subcatid
Prodid
Now, the question is how to fetch all the sub-categories let's say that
are related to category 0001. I know it's as simple as relating two
tables in one query, but I don't remember how. Any help appreciated.

Jason, again, I RTFM, but did not get it working.

The FM manual says:
"$_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended"
So I am using "PHP Version 4.1.2" (and "4.2.3" on my localhost to test offline)
Ok. I quit using $HTTP_POST_VARS["familyname"].
With a little rethinking, I have this working, I hope.
Now ... is there a cleaner way to assign my variable "familyname"?
Pseudo code:
if _post["familyname"] exists set session variable
(no sense in setting it until I post it)
if _session["familyname"] exists, $familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
I'll have about 30 variables. Going to be alot of lines. There must be an easier,
cleaner way?
<?php
#session_name("TestALS");
session_start();
if (isset($_POST["familyname"]))
{
session_register("familyname");
$familyname = $_POST["familyname"];
echo "Yay: \$familyname= $familyname<br>";
}
if (isset($_SESSION["familyname"]))
{
$familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
echo "yay session works, \$familyname= $familyname<br>";
}
--- End Message ---

I haven't followed the rest of the thread, but how about using a
function?
function getvar ($varname)
{
if (isset ($_POST[$varname])
{
$_SESSION[$varname] = $_POST[$varname];
return $_POST[$varname];
}
elseif (isset ($_SESSION[$varname]))
return $_SESSION[$varname];
}
session_start();
// You don't need session_register anymore
$familyname = getvar('familyname');
and so on--just one line per variable.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Marco

When faced with this problem I tried the following (works)
The top section of PHP code just reads the POST return array
and plops it into a series of successive _SESSION vars
Included is a FORM to use that shows the simple code at work
HTH
TomHenry
================ Tested =================
<?
session_start();
//echo "<HR>List the _POST key/val pairs<P>";
// Try to cycle though the _POST vars
// and use them as input to creating _SESSION vars
while(list($k,$v)=each($_POST)){
$_SESSION[$k]=$v;
//echo "_name_ <b>".stripslashes($k)."</b> _value_
<b>".stripslashes($v)."</b><br>";
}
// easy way to peek at the contents of what we just did
echo "<hr>print_r of the \$_SESSION array<P>";
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<hr>";

Sessions depends on a number of factors
including your version of PHP and the setting of register_globals.
The FM manual says:
"$_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended"
So I am using "PHP Version 4.1.2" (and "4.2.3" on my localhost to test offline)
Ok. I quit using $HTTP_POST_VARS["familyname"].
With a little rethinking, I have this working, I hope.
Now ... is there a cleaner way to assign my variable "familyname"?
Pseudo code:
if _post["familyname"] exists set session variable
(no sense in setting it until I post it)
if _session["familyname"] exists, $familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
I'll have about 30 variables. Going to be alot of lines. There must be an easier, cleaner way?
<?php
#session_name("TestALS");
session_start();
if (isset($_POST["familyname"]))
{
session_register("familyname");
$familyname = $_POST["familyname"];
echo "Yay: \$familyname= $familyname<br>";
}
if (isset($_SESSION["familyname"]))
{
$familyname = $_SESSION["familyname"];
echo "yay session works, \$familyname= $familyname<br>";
}

Marco (or anyone)
What is the difference between:
$familyname = getvar("familyname");
and
$familyname = getvar('familyname');
What do single quotes do, as a general rule, that double cannot (he asks remembering
something, but not sure what)?

John,
PHP looks for "$vars or {$vars} to parse in the string" when double quotes
are used... whereas when single quotes are used, it won't parse/substitute
the vars.
<?
// works:
echo "My favourite fruit is {$fruit}";
echo "My favourite fruit is $fruit";
echo 'My favourite fruit is '.$fruit;
// doesn't work:
echo 'My favourite fruit is {$fruit}';
echo 'My favourite fruit is $fruit';
?>
So, when you're not using $vars, using single quotes will be marginally
faster... perhaps not important on small sites, but very important on big
ones, and a decent habbit to get into :)

Instead of
while(list($k,$v)=each($_POST)){
$_SESSION[$k]=$v;
//echo "_name_ <b>".stripslashes($k)."</b> _value_
<b>".stripslashes($v)."</b><br>";
}
why not just
$_SESSION = array_merge($_SESSION,$_POST);
???

Hey, I dont know how much easier it will be but it is faster, you could
use a switch statement.
switch ($_SESSION['familyname'])
{
case 'name1':
do something;
break;
case 'name2':
do something;
break;
default:
do this if the variable doesnt match a case;
break;

Hi all,
Anyone out there have significant experience using the PHP/ldap
interface? It appears to me that it's missing some important
functionality, but I might just not be seeing how to do it.
I have a user-management application which needs to manage an openLDAP
user base of several thousand users. For adding users, we need a way to
get the next available UID number without creating a race condition
where two users could simultaneously grab the same UID number.
The question of how to best do this (on the LDAP side) has been hashed
over quite a bit on the openldap-software mailing list. Without
repeating all that discussion, the conclusion is that we need to grab a
"highestAssignedUid" attribute of the "ou=users,dc=example,dc=com" entry
and increment it using an attribute modify operation like this:
dn: ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
delete: highestAssignedUid
highestAssignedUid: 500
-
add: highestAssignedUid
highestAssignedUid: 501
This solves the problem, because LDAP modify operations are atomic, and
this modify operation will fail if the 'highestAssignedUid' attribute no
longer has the value that we grabbed (eg 500). So if we grab the
highestAssignedUid, and then our increment fails, we just back off and
try the whole thing over again. If the increment succeeds, we know
we've got a unique UIDnumber.
But here's the problem: The PHP/ldap interface doesn't seem to have any
way of supporting this type of modify, where one value is deleted and
another added in a single atomic modify operation. ldap_mod_replace()
and ldap_modify() replace /all/ the values of an attribute, irrespective
of previous values. ldap_mod_del() will delete a specific value of an
attribute, and ldap_mod_add() will add a value to an attribute without
replacing existing ones, but if I have to make two function calls I've
lost the crucial feature, which is atomicity, and reintroduced the race
condition.
Is there any good solution here?
TIA for any advice,
Carl

Not sure if it will be quicker or not, but I don't think you NEED a regex:
- get rid of 'for more information'
- split on 'See' into $pre and $code
- trim the bits down
- wrap $code in a URL
- glue it all back together
UNTESTED CODE:
<?
// string
$str = 'Windows 2000 Hotfix (Pre-SP4) See Q322842 for more information';
// set up
$ms = "http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;";;
$suffix = 'for more information';
$splitter = 'See';
// do it
list($pre,$code) = explode($splitter,$str = str_replace($suffix,'',$str));
$pre = trim($pre); $code = trim($code);
$str = "{$pre} See <a href=\"{$ms}{$code}\">{$code}</a> {$suffix}";
echo $str;
?>
If this gets heavy traffic, u may want to test which is faster -- or you may
not care!!

Why not:
1. place a .htaccess file in each existing client/developer directory
switching the value to ON -- being careful to ensure you don't wipe over an
existing .htaccess file!!
2. switch the value to OFF in php.ini
This means all current clients will have continued support for ON, and all
new ones will default to OFF. If existing clients which to go with OFF,
they just delete the .htaccess file.
OR the vice-versa can be done... advise clients that you are moving to OFF
in a month, explain the benefits, and make a .htaccess file available to
those who don't want to migrate... so that their stuff doesn't break.
Most developers will know which way they're writing code.
You ultimately need to:
- change the default to OFF
- allow existing clients to "patch" to ON

Hi people,
I have a question, i would like to use PEAR in some of my applications,
how can i download and iinstall PEAR on windows. I have Apache 2.0.43
with PHP 4.3.0 RC3 installed on a windows XP machine. I read on
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/faq.windows.php .....
To make PEAR work on Windows, you simple need to add the PEAR
installation dir (e.g. c:\php\pear) to the include_path directive in
your php.ini.
Well i thats easy, but i dont have a pear directory? Making a new
directory is easy also;-), but...... How and where do i download and
instal the PEAR packages on my machine... Thanks...
Best regards,..

PHP version: 4.2.1
OS: RedHat Linux 8
Apache version: 2.0
My problem is that I can't execute more than one (SSI include) on my website JUST for
PHP file.. so there is NO problems at all if I include HTML or SHTML files.
Anyway, if I include 2 PHP files into any page, the first INCLUDE statement would
execute correctly and print out the file output, but the second INCLUDE statement
would NOT execute, and instead, the statement printed in the page source as it is:
<!--#include virtual="sympoll/poll.php?id=2" -->
notice that this problem was not exist in my server before I upgrade PHP from 4.1.2 to
4.2.1 and Apache from 1.3 to 2.0 and Linux from 7.3 to 8.0 !!
any idea?

Anyway, if I include 2 PHP files into any page, the first INCLUDE statement would execute correctly and print out the file output, but the second INCLUDE statement would NOT execute, and instead, the statement printed in the page source as it is:
<!--#include virtual="sympoll/poll.php?id=2" -->
notice that this problem was not exist in my server before I upgrade PHP from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 and Apache from 1.3 to 2.0 and Linux from 7.3 to 8.0 !!
any idea?
Hey, you could try using the PHP include
<?php include('path/to/file') ?>
or
<?php require('path/to/file') ?>
