The last line cannot be producing the warning; it does not refer to a file.
Please show us the EXACT error message.
Are you certain the file was opened? Did you try to print $stuff after reading it?
Did it have the
info you thought it should?

Subject: [PHP] Warning: 1 is not a valid File-Handle resource - HELP!
Ok, I am a bad coder. :( I can't figure this out at all:
$fileID = fopen("nicknames.txt", 'r');
$stuff = fread($fileID, filesize("nicknames.txt")); fclose($fileID);
if (strlen($stuff) > 0) $priorNickNewLine = "\n";
$nicks = explode("\n", $stuff);
The last line produces the Warning.. why? I am trying to read contents from
nicknames.txt and split
according to the newline character so that each nickname is an array element.
What did I do wrong? :(

I would recommend you to always check if the file was opened successfully.
Simply add this after your fopen..
if ($fileID === false) { // 3 '=' signs checks
variable type and value
die("Error opening file. $php_errormsg"); // you will need
track_errors = ON in php.ini to use $php_errormsg.

You can still use one page and use a "middle-man" technique. The part
that processes the form input would redirect back to itself after the
data is inserted into the database, thus getting rid of the post data.
So subsequent refreshes of the page will refresh without attempting to
repost the data.
This post is merely for reference and, hopefully, to help out some
other person that runs into the same problem.
I solved my duplicate form post problem using that middle-man
technique you guys mentioned, but i did it in a little more user friendly
way than using a complete page and redirecting back to the original. (thus
preventing some design problems on my specific site)
I used some javascript to open a small window, it has the code to
insert the comment into the database, thanks for the user input and
immediately closes and refreshes the original, showing that last inserted
comment. Works very smoothly, and if the user connection is fast enough, he
doesnt even notice the window.
If anyone needs the code, feel free to email me, ok? I am just not
posting it because its a bit long, and might unnecessarily clutter the
list. :-)
Thanks for all the help, guys, you got me in the right direction.

Also for reference, but I would recommend to everyone that they not rely
on Javascript and simply do all of this in the main window. With Pop-Up
Blockers and different browser versions, Javascript should be avoided if
possible unless you really know what your audience will be using (or
don't care).

I subscribe to your opinion, i spoke too soon. It seems i cant
pass the form vars to the new javascript window, and i dont have a clue why
not!
Quite simply, if instead of opening a new window, i use the exact
same code on the main window, all the vars are passed, if i use javascript
to open a new window, no php vars are passed on.
So i apologize for my early cry of victory, it quickly turned into
a cry of despair. bah. Any ideas on how to get it working? PHP doesnt pass
vars to javascript new window?
(going for the main window approach for now, thanks john)

Maybe I'm missing something here but I'm not sure why you consider it more
user friendly to pop-up a window (and have it disappear automatically). If I
was a user I would be thinking "what the hell was that?". And if their
connection was fast enough that they don't even notice the window pop-up &
disappear, and just see the main page refresh how different is that to the
'one page and use a "middle-man" technique'?

Ok, i admit my donkeyness. :-P It takes the same time to popup,
close and refresh, than it does to redirect and refresh.
One thing that popup would prevent would be the browser history, i
mean, if that popup method worked, if the user clicked on the "back"
browser button, it would take him to where he came from. If i use that
redirect method, the back button takes him to the redirect. Still trying to
figure that one out. Would be nice to make the browser history "forget"
that redirect. :-P
But you are right, Jason, time wise i was wrong in going for the
popup, not to mention those other very relevant facts john mentioned too.

I don't think a server redirect shows up on the browser's history list! Try
it.

Yeah, you should be using a header() redirect, not a javascript or META
REFRESH redirect...

Well, i tried, but i get an error saying that all the headers were
already sent to the browser. :-P
I used:
header('Location: http://www.blahblah.com etc');
I placed this header right after all the database writes.

2 ways around that.. make sure you send that before any other ouput... Even empty
lines etc.... In other words nothing before <?php and nothing after ?> Not ever a
carriage return.
or start of with ob_start() and end with ob_end_flush();

Well, yeah, the idea is that you don't output anything on the
"middle-man" page, only do your inserts and that's it.
The error message tells you exactly where the output is starting, if
that's a mystery to you (output started in file.php:2 means line 2 of
file.php).

You can also enable output buffering on your middle page, this will
allow you to output data and set cookies, send headers, etc at any point
in your script.
You can enable output buffering globally with php.ini, with an .htaccess
for specific directories or use the output buffering functions to enable
them for just a script or even part of a script.

Hello friends,
I have to put results of various departments in our school website. All results will
go in the Mysql database. The problem is formatting the output. I have output
something like this where the numbers shown are student marks :
Quote
Passed with Grade A :
Adm nos : 8177 9822 1750 0059
Passed with Grade B :
Adm nos : 6614 8375 0837 1647 5490 3758 7388 7799
Passed with Grade C :
Adm nos : 9968 0298 1297 1254 4208 4911 6194 9903
Unquote
I made a multiline textboxes and used PHP script and input this in a LONGTEXT field in
MySQL. Then I used PHP to output this field in a webpage. The formatting, carriage
return, tabs etc are lost. Formatting is very essential in this document for us.
Can someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks
Denis

Two ways to do this...
One just use
echo "<pre>";
for($i=0; $i < sql->rows; i++){
echo $values['grade'];
echo $values['admno'];
}
echo "</pre>;
or create a table
<table>
for($i=0; $i < sql->rows; i++){
<tr>
<td>$value['grade']</td><td>$value['grade2']</td><td>$value['grade3']</td><td>$value['grade4']</td>
</tr>
}
</table>

Your problem is that HTML does not recognize newline or tab characters.
The easy fix is to just surround the line by <pre> which will cause the
newline and tab elements to show up.
The hard fix, but nicer looking one, is to output your data in a table.

Thanks John and Michael.
Please note that the following is my code :
Quote :
if ($result=mysql_query($sql)) {
$numofrows=mysql_num_rows($result);
Print "Greengrass database has found the following result that matches
your search";
print " <br>\n";
print " <br>\n";
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
Print " Identity : ".$row[GGID]."<br>\n"." ";
Print " Organisation name : ".$row[OrgName]." <br>\n"."";
Print " Organisation country : ".$row[OrgCountry]." <br>\n"."";
Print " Organisation Address : ".$row[OrgAddress]."<br>\n"." ";
Print " Results : ".$row[Results]."<br>\n";
print " <br>\n";
print " <br>\n";
}
Unquote.
In the above code, I want to format the text in only one field and that is
the field named "Results".
Where do I put the <PRE> </PRE> tags for formatting the text contained in
the mysql field "Results"?
Thanks
Denis

How about around $row[Results]?
print " Results : <pre>".$row['Results']."</pre><br>\n";
Note the addition of the single quotes, which you should get in the
habit of using (so you don't get Undefined Constant errors on a machine
with a stricter error_reporting() level).

Hi there,
I'm trying to get PHP 4.3.0 compiled on a SuSE Linux 8.0 box.
./configure goes well but when I try the make command, I get the following
error message: php /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++, and
the installation fails. The lstdc++ is in the library libstdc, which is
under /usr/lib.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thanks and cheers

Ok, I reinstalled IIS 5 and PHP 4.3 and it's working but the sessions
aren't. I get this error:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]:

I haven't edited the php.ini file yet but I'm not sure what to set it to.
Right now it says this:

What should it be for Windows XP Pro?

It can be any directory that IIS can write to.
c:/php/sessions/ (if that folder exists)
works just fine. The IUSR_<computername> user on your computer must have
permission to write to that directory.

Wherever you want them... C:\windows\temp if you have that.
win??? does not have a /tmp directory link *nix boxes do, so just give it a valid
directory to write to where you don;t mind having a bunch of session files.

You could try adding the path of the grab_globals.lib.php (or that of all of
all the lib files) in the php.ini file in the directive include_path like
this :
include_path =
".:/usr/local/lib/php:/some/other/path:/absoute/path/to/your/lib/dir"
I dont yet have PHP 4.3.0 so this is from ver 4.0.6

Does it help if you use --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf
instead?

Hi
Anybody knows how to embed a image file to a php file, not as html;
for example;
<img src="yy.php" />
embedding a image file in yy.php file.
Thanks everybody
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
yy.php should contain
<?php
header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); /* or gif or whatever... you can
also take a look at getimagesize() to get the type of the image
automatically */
readfile(THE FILE);
?>
it's extremely important that there is no whitespace before the <?php
tag and after the ?> tag.

I'm not sure how MySQL works under Windows, but you should either use
double backslashes (\\) instead of single backslashes or use forward
slashes (/) instead. MySQL is trying to escape your string.

Im trying to send email using mail() to a .info email address and get an
error message. I assume the function parses the email address and doesnt
accept anything that isnt the customary .net, .com, etc. addresses. How can
I get around this?

Usually it should work. Maybe a spam-filter from your provider or sth. like
that. What kind of error message do you recieve?

Hi y'all
I'm probably trying to do something ridicolously trivial, but here goes:
I'm building a form for sending mail of my website. The idea is simply
that people plop in their address, the message, and pick a subject line,
and then click send.
It will then show how the message will look, and people will then have the
option to either correct it, send it there and then, or just dump the
whole enchilada...
Q 1:
Well, building the form and making the page preview the message is the
easy part. But how do I make the page retain the message so that I can 1.
actually send the thing after the second submit, and 2. make it fill out
the form when user wish to alter message (or there's an error) ???
This is the code for the preview part (HTML + PHP):
<span class="txt">This is the message as it will look with all
headers:</span>
<pre><?php
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$from = "Metalbunny website <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>";
$replyto = $HTTP_POST_VARS['sender'];
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/ascii;
charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: ".$replyto."\r\n";
echo("To: ".$to."\n");
echo("From: ".$from."\n");
echo("Reply-to: ".$replyto."\n");
echo("Subject: ".$subject."\n");
echo("X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion()."\n");
echo("MIME-version: 1.0\n");
echo("Content-type: text/ascii; charset=iso-8859-1\n");
echo("\n".$message);
?>
</pre><br>
<br>
<span class="txt">Do you wish to send this message?</span><br>
<form method="post">
<button name="send" value="true" type="submit">Yes, send
it</button>
<button name="correct" value="true" type="submit">Nah, let me
correct it</button>
<button name="cancel" value="true" type="submit">Never
mind...</button>
</form>
The first button is to actually send the message, and show the "Thank you"
page, the second is to reload the form and fill out the fields. Haven't
figured out how to work the last button.
Q 2:
The manual doesn't really say it that clearly, but do I need to have the
content-type field when the message is plain text already?
And should I be adding a Date: field, or does the mail() function figure
that out itself?
My incoming mail server does not accept messages without a date field, so
if I need to add it, I'd really like to know. It also doesn't like
messages with more than 1 of each field...(except received-by).
TIA
Rene

either put the fields you want as hidden fields in the preview page
or
store them as session variables
Q 2:

plain text is the default

I'm not sure - have you tried it ?

just look at an email in your inbox and copy the format of the date field.

I have researched this and can't find an answer. Maybe I am just looking
in the wrong places or not putting the correct keywords into the search
engines. So any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using MySQL with PHP.
I have some PHP scripts that create tables in a database that are meant to
be temporary but can't actually create "TEMPORARY" tables to do the
job. That isn't the problem in itself. The problem is that sometimes if
the script is stopped prematurely, it doesn't get to the drop table
function in it. All of the tables that are created for this start with an
"a" and follow with a random number. What I need to do is to create a
script that I can run that will delete all tables that start with an "a" in
the database. Again, since the table name is randomly generated except for
the starting "a", I will need the script to find them and drop them.
Has anybody done this before? I would sure appreciate some help here.
Thanks
Steve

Basically just do a a php script the sends the sql "show tables";
Then do a strchr() to see if "a" is the first letter in the resuts and if so do a
delete table.
Just yo play safe do a dump of your db first.

Or even better, use SHOW TABLES LIKE 'a%' to just get the a* tables and
drop each one.
How do you know whether it's an "active" a* table or not? Will you be
dropping a table that someone is actually using?

an excerpt from php man pages says that:
"This function requires the imap_stream to have been opened as the mail
administrator account. It will not work if opened as any other user.
...
...
$mbox = imap_open ("{your.imap.host:143}", "mailadmin", "password");
"
my question is, where do i set this admin called 'mailadmin' with password
'password'. do i set it in courier/uw for example?
