when you call the 2nd script, new.php, call it like this:
new.php?sign=$data
that is one way to pass it ... or you can keep the variable hidden by using
sessions
1. xmlparse.php
-------------------------------
session_start(); // start a session
session_register("data"); // register 'data' as a session var
$data = "whatever"; // assign a value
---------------------------------
2. now going on to the next script: new.php
---------------------------------
session_start(); // start a session
$sign = $data; // $data should already have the value previously assigned;
since it's in session, the value carries over
echo $sign; // should display "whatever"
-------------------------------------------
try that.
also, you can try doing this in your original example:
<snip>
new.php
include('xmlparse.php')
global $data; // add this line; do a "global" to make sure you
grab the $data var
$sign = "$data";
echo "$sign";
</snip>
Goodluck!

There is NO need for that... When including a file it's as if the file were
inline with the code in the spot in which include() is called. You may want
to use require() to make sure that the file is actually being added. Also
you just need to use $data wherever you want.. Or you can do it like this:
$sign = $data;

hi,
Thnx to all of you... Actually I realized that my problem is slightly more
different and complicated..
The xml output is actually received from a servlet (sorry for saying php
before!:)) and Needs to be directly passed into another PHP which contains
an XMLparser...
The data has to be dynamically fed into the parser... I am trying to make
the parser into a form of a class with a function that receives this
variable but so far Unsuccessful..
If anyone has any further suggestions/ideas, wud be damn gratefull!!
I can post the parser here if needed...
TIA,
sands

My jeeze thats a complex topic! It would requires a small novell to be
written.
But I would like to recommend you to study some literature on database
transaction, recovery and concurrency control, if good, they will even cover
how to counter or avoid these problems.

OK...newbie question it must be:
I want to add an entry into a db tb (using php obviously) and when its added
into the db its gets a sequencially numberred id....now can I retrieve this
id numbe rin the same php coded page as what I create the entry with? If not
what is the best way around it? Create a unique number for the entry before
adding it into db??
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
You can, but there are a number of issues to deal with. One of the
potential solutions is to grab the MAX value from the table id field and
then increment that number for the next inserted record. The problem arises
though when you have multiple users attempting to add records...

That's what I originally did but it can create loads of problems if you
remove entries from the database or something similar.
Is it SQL you're using? If so then i BELIEVE that there is a way of
defining a field to do this automatically, instead of calling a field
'int' or whatever, I remember there being a 'counter' attribute or
something similar. Can't remember it offhand just now. Does anyone
else here know what it's called?

Hi,
yes, you can. If you're using MySQL try to use
mysql_insert_id function - it should solve your
problem.
For more explanations and examples - see manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php
and for all mysql functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php
Greetings

Concurrency and update anomalies problems in the DB environment has to be
dealt with independently of auto-incremental values. These types of problems
will always arise, and thus has to be considered if they might constitute a
problem.

That depends on the database you are using. You need to use sequences.
Some database do not have sequences but they do have auto-incremented
fields, so it is possible to emulate a sequence object with a separate
table with a single auto-incremented field to act as a sequence.
Regardless of what database you are using, you may want to try Metabase
which is a PHP database abstraction package that supports many databases
and abstracts the concept of sequences just like I described. Metabase
is free and is available from here:

Here is my question.
I wrote a script, which gets parameters from db about document (location on
disc, hashed filename and original filename). Then script open this file a
send it to user.
I use this headers
Header("Content-Type: application/download\n");
Header("Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=\"name_of_file\"");
Header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
On Windows it works good, but on Mac it doesn't accept name_of_file and try
save this file with name of script.
What is wrong ? Do you have any idea ??
If I used:
Header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"jmeno_souboru\"");
then this script doesn't work also on Windows with Mozilla. Is there any
error in MSIE on Mac, isn't it ?
Thank you for any idea

Can someone tell me how to use this php.exe file?? The docs are totally
confusing.
Okay - I run a rented unix server that supports php, no problem. But I want
to test my site files offline on my win 2k machine. Online IE displays the
php test files just fine, but offline it ignores the php content entirely. I
want to browse to d:\test.php, for instance -- without using the w2k server
stuff, just browse to file.
I thought the php download of windows binaries was supposed to fix this, but
I can't get it to do anything.

Using the prowser to view a file on your file system will just show the content. The
browser does not have any knowledge of the PHP parser.
A web server on the other hand will be able to run the requested script through a
parser an send the converted document (usually as html) to the browser fopr display.
The binary version of PHP on Win32 works fine with IIS, Apache and other web servers
available on that platform.

Can you help me setup php on my local machine? I ran into a problem trying to execute
php files on my machine.
I followed the directions for setting up php on Windows XP with IIS from php.net's
installation instructions. I ran into one of the problems described in php.net FAQ but
I don't understand how to fix the problems. I highlighted the parts I don't understand
how to fix in bold font and underlined it. I was wondering if you could help me?
9. Windows: I have installed PHP, but when I to access a PHP script file via my
browser, I get the error: cgi error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not
returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
The headers it did return are:
This error message means that PHP failed to output anything at all. To get to see a
sensible error message, from the command line, change to the directory containing the
PHP executable (php.exe on Windows) and run php -i. If PHP has any problems running,
then a suitable error message will be displayed which will give you a clue as to what
needs to be done next. If you get a screen full of html codes (the output of the
phpinfo() function) then PHP is working.
Once PHP is working at the command line, try accessing the script via the browser
again. If it still fails then it could be one of the following:
a.. File permissions on your PHP script, php.exe, php4ts.dll, php.ini or any PHP
extensions you are trying to load are such that the anonymous internet user
ISUR_<machinename> cannot access them.
b.. The script file does not exist (or possibly isn't where you think it is relative
to your web root directory). Note that for IIS you can trap this error by ticking the
'check file exists' box when setting up the script mappings in the Internet Services
Manager. If a script file does not exist then the server will return a 404 error
instead. There is also the additional benefit that IIS will do any authentication
required for you based on the NTLanMan permissions on your script file.
Thanks,
Jeff

PHP is working fine on an NT4 Terminal Server except for mail functions. I
have entered the correct settings in the php.ini file. These were tested OK
in a script. The problems seems to be that the php.ini file is not being
read. phpinfo() expects it to be in c:\winnt, so I put it there instead of
c:\wtsrv. Still no joy. Any ideas
