Hello
I try to use EXEC function to execute a command line. The command line is
correct but the exec doesn't return anything.
Have you any idea about it ?
I give you my source :
exec('"c:\progra~1\swish-e\swish-e.exe" -w "test" -f
C:/Progra~1/EasyPHP/www/atelier_dev/data/index.swish-e',$out);
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Hi,
'exec' will returm the last line of any output.
The syntax is:
<snip src="http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php";>
string exec ( string command [, string array [, int return_var]])
</snip>
If you include the second parameter, the contents of the output will be
placed in the array, each line being an element in the array.
<?php
$lastline = exec( "$command", $resultsArray );
## print out the results, if any.
for($i=0; $i < sizeof($resultsArray); $i++)
{
## you have to echo out the
## results from each element
## of the array.
echo $resultsArray[$i] . '<br>';
}
?>
HTH!

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Displaying checkbox values selected
Hi all,
would appreciate any help with this (newbie) question. All im trying to do
is to echo on screen the checkbox values selected by the user. Problem is
when submit is pressed, the selected artists dont appear, it just goes back
to the original screen (with empty checkboxes). Below is the code which ive
copied from another site which supposedly should work. Thanks in advance for
help.
in file jukebox.php3
<?
// check for $submit
if (!isset($submit))
{
// and display form
?>
<form action="jukebox.php3" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="artist[]" value="Bon Jovi">Bon Jovi
<input type="checkbox" name="artist[]" value="N'Sync">N'Sync
<input type="checkbox" name="artist[]" value="Boyzone">Boyzone
<input type="checkbox" name="artist[]" value="Britney Spears">Britney Spears
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Select">
</form>
<?
}
// or display the selected artists
else
{
?>
<b>And here are your selections:</b>
<br>
<?
// use a "for" loop to read and display array elements
for($count = 0; $count < sizeof($artist); $count++)
{
print "<i>$artist[$count]</i><br>";
}
}
?>

Since this is dynamically generated, you should be able to determine the
'checked' items. If the value is equal to the value of the check box,
you need to add in 'checked' to the checkbox tab, like so:
<input type="checkbox" name="artist[]" value="Bon Jovi" checked>Bon Jovi

thanks for replies. got it to work. i tried Aziz's solution with $PHP_SELF
but didnt work. this though led me to read about environment variables, and
to cut long story short i changed
register_globals = off to "on" in php.ini file and it worked.

Hi,
Is there an example of a search engine made in PHP which can search in
HTML files (a website made only with HTML)?
And, if possible, without needing a database (maybe a flat text file
database)?
If someone has a piece of code, can he send it to me?
Thanks,
Mircea
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
Well, what you ask for is pretty generic,
so here's my 2 line search engine ;-)
// Regex to match
$data = join('', file('htmlfile'));
preg_match("/ ... /", $data, $matches);

This is my code:
<?PHP
$objApp = new COM("Outlook.Application");
$myItem = $objApp->CreateItem("olMailItem");
$a=$myItem->Recipients->Add("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$myItem->Subject="This is a test";
$myItem->Body="This is a Body Section now.....!";
$myItem->Display();
$myItem->Send();
?>
This is the error I'm getting...
Warning: Invoke() failed: Type mismatch. Argument: 2 in C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\outlook\sendMail.php on line 11
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in C:\Program
Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\outlook\sendMail.php on line 12
What did I screw up?
Thanks,
Ron

Well Invoke() failing can mean a few different things.
1) That you're requesting something that can't be found
2) There's a more serious error (like Outlook already
being loaded in memory a few times)
What exactly is on line 11/12 of your code?
I just finished writing PHP+COM+Excel program to automatically
populate and then print out spreadsheets, so i may be able
to help ya out... but send some more info, thanks.

I assume that the problem is that olMailItem is a constant and not a string
This causes the error:
$myItem = $objApp->CreateItem("olMailItem");
This does not:
$myItem = $objApp->CreateItem(olMailItem);
Of course you have to have:
com.autoregister_typelib = true
in your php.ini or you will need to load the type library manually to define
the constant properly.
Alan.

I'm currently switching from ASP to PHP, so I'm not an MS zealot. I did

You're doing it wrong, then. It doesn't take any more than PHP. There are

ASP has regular expressions and they work quite well.

ASP can too (Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")). I'm not sure why
companies sell products for this.

Because it's a HUGE pain to not be able to quickly comment
out entire blocks of code for testing and development.

Just wanted to stop this whole ASP vs PHP thread before it gets started and
I receive a zillion e-mails from PHP-WIN list (something that already
happened a few times for this particular subject).
For those who want to compare the two scription languages, please do so
between yourselves. Many web sites also have edifying articles on the subject.
I really don't think this discussion is appropriate to this list; I don't
find it very constructive. I'm subscribed to this list because I want to
receive/give help on how to use PHP on Windows platforms, not argue over
which scripting language can do what.
Sorry about the rant, just wanted to avoir an ASP vs PHP war :-)

Who needs this for performance reasons? This short-circuiting is for logic
simplification, thus fewer LOC and easier readability/maintainability.

Actually, this is a nasty omission when the occasional need arises to
comment out long stretches of code.

Not exactly straightforward for the everyday web scripter.

Of course, ASP is fast in IIS. Everyone knows why. Apache + PHP simply
can't be beat by any other web server/scripting language combo in Windows.

Hi I keep getting these install path errors all over the place
(although not on all scripts)
.......install_path=c:\php4\pear.....
On occasion I will change something in the config script and
it will be ok.
I'm a little new to php, can someone tell me what the default
setting should be in the php.in (if indeed that is the problem).
If not, what is this problrm I keep getting
thanks.
