Thank You so much John and Michael. SHOW TABLES LIKE 'a%' worked like a
charm and was exactly what I was looking for. I guess my searches were
using the wrong keywords. Kind of figures. Some of my searches were
turning up 1000's of results.
How do you know whether it's an "active" a* table or not? Will you be
dropping a table that someone is actually using?
I will be shutting down the script at a certain time each day to run some
things like this for maintenance. So none of these should be active and if
they are, it won't hurt anything. The customer can just wait until the
maintenance time is over. Approximately 10 mintues.

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?

Yes, you need to give imap_set_quota() a username and password of an
account that has administrator privileges on your IMAP server. If you
were using Cyrus IMAP you'd use an account that's specified in the
"admins" section of /etc/imapd.conf. I don't know how this is handled
in Courier or UW, but I assume the mechanisms are similar. I suggest
checking the documentation for your particular IMAP server...

Hi Rui,
I have Windows XP, Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.3.0 also. My php_domxml.dll
extension works just fine. Did u copy all files from c:\php\dlls to your
c:\WINDOWS\system32 directory? Also is your extensions path is set to
c:\php\extensions in your php.ini file? I hope that works.
Best regards,
Davy Obdam

Hello PHP.
I'm running Linux Mandrake 9.0 with Apache 1.3.26 and PHP 4.2.3 and I'm
trying to get the XML parser "expat" to work. I get this error:
Call to undefined function: xml_parser_create()
I have installed expat from the Mandrake Control center, but I dont
think PHP found that out :-)
I checked out the manual and found a tip:
libexpat.a: $(OBJS)
ar -rc $@ $(OBJS)
ranlib $@
but i do not know what to do with it ?
How do I get the XML parser to work with PHP ???
Kind Regards Lasse Tarp

I mean that if you use the following code into welcome.php file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
Print "Welcome <b>$user</b>";
?>
</body>
</html>
You can pass directly this line: http://domain/welcome.php?user=nameofuser
into the address bar and the nameofuser specified as variable User, must be
visible in the following example:
"Welcome UserName"

No idea what you mean html module, but it looks like a register_globals problem.
I completely agree. But for the sake of beating a dead horse.
The value you are looking for in this instance is located in the
appropriate global arrays($_GET,$_POST,$_SERVER, etc, etc)
So basically, you could do the following (in your welcome.php file).
$user = $_GET['user'];

Consider the following:
page1.php
<?php
// initializing soap server object, blah, blah, whatever here.
// the important function, dumbed down to the barest essentials.
//
function test() {
$retval = "";
$xml = "<root><row><element>test</element></row></root>\n";
$retval = serialize( domxml_open_mem( $xml ));
return $retval;
}
?>
page2.php
<?php
require_once( 'nusoap.php' );
// this is immaterial; don't dwell on it ;p I'm just dumbing it down.
$parameters = array();
$soapclient = new soapclient( 'http://somepage.php' );
$xml = $soapclient->call( 'test', $parameters );
$xml = unserialize( $xml );
$xml->dump_mem();
?>
In the test function, if I just serialize the $xml, return it and then call
xmldoc_open_mem on the unserialized return string, it works fine.
But it doesn't like it if I do the above. I'm getting the error:
Warning: dump_mem() [function.dump-mem]: Underlying object missing or of
invalid type
Warning: dump_mem() [function.dump-mem]: Cannot fetch DOM object
Why isn't the serialization of the DOM object not working that way?
thnx,
Chris

I'm switching from a MySQL environment to PGSQL and I'm
going through and trying to learn the differences between the
two. I've come across some issues that I can't seem to find the
answers to in the docs or on the web. I'm hoping someone can
help me out.
* MySQL has a function to reset the result set so that it can be
iterated through again - mysql_data_seek(). I don't see that there
is a similar function for PGSQL. Is that true? If so, in order to
reset the result set you have to perform the query again? Isn't
that a waste of resources?
* For PGSQL, you can get the database name, the field name
even the *host name* but you can't get the table name from a
particular query?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

pg_result_seek() should perform a similar function. In most cases you wouldn't
need to use that because if you're going to be using the results more than
once you could store them in an array.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Surely for any particular query, _you_
would know what table(s) is/are being used?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But a valid point nonetheless.

That's not necessarily true. Certainly not if you are using an
abstraction layer to access the database. Take PEAR for example.
When instantiation on object, you give it the relevant connection
information (user, pw, host and perhaps a dbname that may or may
not be the dbname that gets queried later on). So sure, you can
access those member variables (except maybe dbname; I don't think
that gets stored) which is also information you can get
programatically using built in functions. But let's say you pass
a query to the query() method that doesn't use the dbname that
you used when instantiating the object. That's certainly valid.
But now, there's no way (ok, there's a way but it isn't necessarily
accurate) to get the dbname for the query that was just run... apart from
requiring the programmer to pass the dbname as another paramter
to the query() method You can do this in mysql. I just don't know
why you can't do this in pgsql.

Sorry, you've lost me. In your OP you say you wanted the "table name", but now
you're talking about the "dbname"? For dbname, you can use (oddly enough)
pg_dbname().

The things that bothered me the most:
o Pg doesn't have DATE_FORMAT(), or the types SET and ENUM.
o Changing database structure is harder. With PG, I usually found it
easier to dump, edit, then reload the database to make changes I did
in MySQL with ALTER TABLE.
o The command line program's exit command starts with a \. It took me
a long time to find that...
The command line interface for pg is much better.
o Large result sets are returned in less, and the command editor feels better.
o There are lots of cool things you can look at with the \ commands in
the command line program. try \help
o You can see the source code of the queries that make up the \ commands.
I don't remember exactly how, but it is either in \help or the man page.

pg_fetch_array() has a third parameter that specifies which record to return.
In most cases you wouldn't
need to use that because if you're going to be using the results more than
once you could store them in an array.
I disagree... You have easy access to the entire result set, in any order,
with either database. You are wasting time and memory making another copy
of the data.

The basic answer to why the interfaces to the databases differ is because
the PHP interfaces reflects the C interface provided by the database
authors. Most PHP extensions are just wrappers that allow you to call
existing libraries.

pg's date functions are pretty abysmal compared to mysql's.

These aren't standard and handling these in PHP does require a bit more code.
So you're probably better off using an extra table instead.

pg's ALTER TABLE doesn't really let you alter much at all which makes
prototyping a pain.

Use CTRL-d, it's a very commonly used "exit command" which gets you out of
almost anything -- mysql, psql, ftp, telnet, ssh etc.

Yes, I am looking for the table name, not dbname. My

That's not necessarily true. Certainly not if you are using an
abstraction layer to access the database. Take PEAR for
example. When instantiation on object, you give it the relevant
connection information. When you pass a query to the query()
there's no way (ok, there's a way but it isn't necessarily accurate)
to get the table name for the query that was just run... apart from
requiring the programmer to pass the table name as another
paramter to the query() method You can do this in mysql using
the mysql_tablename() function.
I just don't know why you can't do this in pgsql.

I'm not sure what SET is, never used it, but ENUM is totally
unnecessary in Postgres because it supports foreign keys. If you want
a particular field to only allow ENUM('red', 'blue', 'green') then
create a lookup table, insert these values into it, and then set up a
foreign key. This is more standard anyway, and if you need to update
the set there is no need to touch the database schema.

True, changing schema is a major PITA with Postgres. My only real
complaint about it, in fact...

Unless I missed something, that function doesn't work with unix timestamps.
Is there anythin internal to PG that allows you to convert to and from unix
timestamps?

That's how I did it and it was, indeed, a pain in the butt... But there was
some good that came out of it. When I created the MySQL tables, I didn't
have foreign keys (wasn't using InnoDB), constraints or anything like that
so in recreating the tables, I was able to implement those things to make
life easier down the road when reworking the code and the logic.

To convert TO a unix timestamp:
select date_part('epoch', lastlogin) as lastloginf;
or
select extract(epoch from lastlogin) as lastloginf;
To convert FROM a unix timestamp:
select to_char(timestamp 'epoch' + unix_timestamp, 'FMMM-DD-YYYY
FMHH:MI AM');

And there is the major benefit of using Postgres...not to mention
sub-selects, views, unions, etc. Once you get used to these things
it's very hard to give them up.

Either you're confused or I'm confused :)
mysql_tablename() is used in conjunction with mysql_list_tables() to get the
names of the tables defined in the specified database. It cannot "get the
table name for the query that was just run...". And another thing, you _know_
the query "that was just run", and presumably the tables used is part of the
query itself, so why would you need another function to tell you should
already know? Can you give an example of what you're trying to do?

Indeed. And I'm going to take every advantage in using
them in my code. I figure when all is said and done, the
scripts will run so much faster because it won't have to
be doing those things programatically.

No, it only works on pg's date/time formats.

Best to store date/time in pg's format rather than unix timestamp.
If you've got legacy data which are stored as unix timestamps then you can do
one of the following:
1) Do a one time conversion from unix timestamp to pg date/time
2) Manipulate the dates in PHP instead
3) Write your own function in pg to convert them on the fly

You are right. The function I was thinking of was
mysql_field_table()
I knew I should have consulted the documentation and not
relied on my memory. :p

That's not true in all cases.

Sure. And this is what prompted my message initially. PEAR's sql2xml only works
with mysql because there's no way to get the table name programatically. When you
are using an abstraction such as this, unless you pass another argument to the primary
function, you have to go through hoops within the abstraction just to pull it out of
the
query.
The code for sql2xml can be found here:

A quite anusual problem - and I can't figure it out..
My script, using the usort-function works properly
on my local php-environment (PHP 4.0.6) but not
on my server, running php 4.1.2!
I've read in a documentation, that php since 4.1.0
doesn't accept zero as return-value of the compare-function.
But that value never occurs in my script!
There are no error messages,
the server just stops interpreting my script
after 7 calls of the compare function -
no farther commands are recognized!
The max. execution-time isn't exceeded;
i've tested that.
If I replace usort, and use a bubblesort function instead,
everythings works fine.. I use:
> for ($a = 0; $a < count($zeile); $a++)
>
> for ($b = $a; $b < count($zeile); $b++)

> $c = sortieren($zeile[$a], $zeile[$b]);
> if ($c < 0){ $temp = $zeile[$a]; $zeile[$a] = $zeile[$b]; $zeile[$b] =
$temp; }
> } }
It's a strange problem, isn't it?

Hi all,
First of all, apologies if this is a question that has already been
asked and answered, but a quick search of the archives didn't turn up
anything - perhaps because it's hard to think of good keywords...
I'm experiencing a bizarre problem with PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 2.0.40 -
both the versions that shipped with Red Hat 8.0. I don't know what's
causing it and it may not actually be PHP's 'fault' at all, but I'm
hoping that some kind soul here will be able to help me out!
I have several PHP web applications which have large text boxes (Wiki
sites etc.). Usually, they work fine, but sometimes, if a large-ish
amount of text is entered, the server seems to receive a mangled mess
which includes the full text but with a second copy of part of it
inserted somewhere at the end. You can edit the page again, remove the
extra content and save, but it'll just get added back... I originally
suspected this must be a problem with the PHP scripts themselves, but
now find that it happens with several different independent things so
can't be that simple. Furthermore, it worked happily on my previous
setup with Apache 1.3 and a slightly older PHP.
Also, image and other file uploads seem to be deeply broken: it'll
accept and store an image, but on then trying to view it I find that the
file size is much bigger and most of the picture has just become plain
grey... this may or may not be related/the same problem, but I would
imagine that if the same thing happened to binaries as does to text it
might have an effect like this...
Anyone seen this before? Any suggestions/things to try? It's driving
me mad...
Thanks very much,
Simon

I would strongly suggest using Apache 1.3.x instead of Apache 2.
Apache2+PHP simply is nowhere near stable.

in the httpd.conf file,
i 've given the scriptAlias
as ScriptAlias d:/work/ to be treated as /first/
so, when i jus type in http:/localhost/ i get the
screen one usually gets when the apache is sucessfully

I'm trying to redo a db lookup into a function. The function is placed in a
class called tracking and declared thus:
function setCurrentDevGroup($devID)
{
// start original routine
$query = "SELECT dev_group FROM tracking WHERE (computer =
$devID)";
$sth = $adb->prepare($query);
if($sth)
{
$res = $sth->execute();
$resulttable = $sth->fetchrow_hash();
$lookuptable = $resulttable["dev_group"];
return($lookuptable);
}
//end original routine
}
This is called from the code as:
$tracking->setCurrentDevGroup($this->ComputerID); // $this->ComputerID is
// known as eg 5.
In the page which relies on the value of setCurrentDevGroup I get:
Call to a member function on a non-object in
/www/htdocs/dev/include/irm.inc on line 2857
Line 2857 is the one starting "$tracking->" above. Obviously I'm doing
something wrong here. What?

Just a guess, but where did $adb inside your function come from? It
doesn't appear that you've instantiated it.

Specifically, if it's instantiated elsewhere in your code and it's in the
global scope then you need to declare it as global within your function:
function setCurrentDevGroup($devID) {
global $adb;
/// rest of function

Hello,
I have a multi-lingual site and was wondering if anyone knew of a PHP function to
detetct a browser's preferred laguages.
I know I can parse it in the _SEREVR var [HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => fr, fr-ca;q=0.75,
en-us;q=0.50, en;q=0.25
But I was just wondering if somewhere PHP already had a function. Something like:
var array get_lang();
where array would be:
"fr"=>0.75
"fr-ca"=>0.75
"en-us"=>0.50
"en"=>0.25
Also I'm guessing that q=? is a score of some sort. With highest score being the
preferred one?

My guess is that your best bet is creating either an HTML or RTF

and it should be fairly easy to work with--you can save a template with
placeholders and simply replace them, since it's entirely text-based.

I don't want them mucking around in my code and potentially screwing it
up. Not to mention having a huge 'email' text in between those
HTMLMESSAGE markers is ugly as hell and ends up making the color-coding
in HomeSite all kinds of whack at the end of it.
I tried to use:
$message = <<<HTMLMESSAGE
include("/pathto/customer_email.php");
HTMLMESSAGE;
But $message has the literal string instead of including the file. Grr..
(wouldn't it make sence that an include() should be parsed FIRST with
the contents put in place basically? This seems like a 'bug' not a
feature.
I also tried:
$filename = "/pathto/customer_email.php";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$message = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
But all the $username, etc. are treated as literals and if I use
<?=$username?> in the customer_email.php the field is blank (like it's
being parsed but doesn't have a value for it or something), instead of
being converted to their actual PHP values. I also tried to put the
"global" keyword in the customer_email.php file at the top.
Is there no way to accomplish this?

Hi,
I am sending information from Flash to PHP and ideally I just want to send
an array. Would php treat the info as an array or a string? If it is the
latter, is there a way that I can convert the information into an array? In
Flash you can use the .split action but I'm not too sure of the PHP 4
equivalent.
Thanks
