The code that follows is from Welling and Thomson's book on PHP and mysql
(page 372)
I've tried it on Apache/ MS Windows 98 / PHP and I get the following line:
"No quote available."
My questions...
1. Why can't I retrieve the present stock quote?
and
2. What does the variable
$quote
represent in the script?
I cannot find what the variable -or array - $quote has been assigned to.
Please see:
echo $quote[1];
below
Thanking all in advance.

You get that message when it doesn't match the
pattern "(\\\$[0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)" in the returned
data.
$quote is set by eregi();
All this stuff is in the php documentation:
http://php.net/eregi

To illustrate what's wrong with the code from the book,
this code works:
$symbol="ibm";
echo "<h1>Stock Quote for $symbol</h1>\n";
$theurl="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s={$symbol}&d=v1";;
if (!($fp=fopen($theurl, "r")))
{
echo "Could not open the URL";
exit;
}
$contents= fread($fp, 1000000);
fclose($fp);
if (preg_match("/(<b>[0-9]+\.[0-9]+<\/b>)/",$contents, $quote))
{
echo "$symbol was sold at: ";
echo $quote[1];
}
else
{
echo "No quote available.";
}
echo "<br>"."This information retrieved from<br>"."<a
href=\"$theurl\">$theurl</a><br>"."on ".(date("l jS F Y g:i a T"));

do you mean?
// load your csv
$fp = fopen('your.csv', 'r');
while(($line = fgetcsv($fp, 4096)) && $line[0] != $_GET['id']);
// the loop terminated...possible outcomes are a match or EOF, in which
// case $line will be boolean and not an array
if (is_array($line)) {
// you matched the correct line, now use the contents of $line array
} else {
// a match was not found; do the appropriate thing
}

Subject: [PHP-WIN] CSV. Parsing a defined row?
Hello, i couldnīt find an answer in the NewsArchive.
How can i parse a CSV file, and show a defined row taken from an url.
I have got this link www.something.com/something.php?id=234
the CSV example:
id,article,category
233,art1,cat1
234,art2,cat2
235,art3,cat3
I do know how i can parse a whole file with fgetcsv, but not how to

extension=php_dbase.dll
>From what I can see in the manual, they could all refer to the three same
things :-)

Count your quotes...your string is
href="javascript:window.open("
At that second quote your string ends. Use single quotes inside the
doubles, or single quote the entire string and get rid of the slashes.
Something like:
echo 'href="javascript:window.open("addfossilpage.php?me=' . $folder_id .
'","width=43 0","height=450" )">';

I forget your earlier post...if you have PHP on a Windows server I
believe you can safely enable this option in php.ini.

I am a secondary student who runs VBulletin forum from my house. I am the
administrator and everytime I connect to it from school, the schools ISA
server caches my username and password. I was wondering if there was a PHP
fix to this type of situation. People in my school who use the forums are
being able to post stuff under my name from around the campus. Any insight
appreciated.
Thanks!

Any version supports the GD library if you install it that way. But
without knowing your platform it's hard to guess what you might have to do
in order to get things going.

Can anybody help me!!!
In my Windows2000 machine I use Apache 3.24 and PHP 4.0.6 and all is OK.
But when I transfer my code to work machine (Apache/1.3.22 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux)
mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.2 PHP/4.0.6 mod_perl/1.26)
the following script returns FALSE.
<?php
define(COUNTRY_OPTION, preg_quote('value="') . '(.*)' . preg_quote('">') . '(.*)' .
preg_quote('</option>'));
$aaa = "<option value=\"100\">ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA</option>";
echo (eregi(COUNTRY_OPTION,$aaa,$regs))?"TRUE":"FALSE";
exit;
?>
