[PHP] How to add new user to the domain
Hello, Any one please let me know how to use PHP to add new user to a domain for using mail (sendmail). And also any funtions to check the availibility of a domain name. Regards, Anan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Re: Using fopen()/fread()/fscanf()
Alright, I see that this is probably the way to go, but I'm dying here. I
have this:
$filename =
fopen("http://www.kinyradio.com/juneaunews/latest_juneau_news.html";, "r");
$contents = fread($filename, 100);
preg_match_all("|+[-a-zA-Z0-9,. ]+|i",
$contents, $out);
print_r($out);
And it returns this:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Injured hiker [1] => Toy guns looked real
enough [2] => U-S Forest Service Chief visiting [3] => Millions in
compensation divided up [4] => Alaska Air [5] => One car [6] => Services [7]
=> Talkeetna ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Injured hiker [1] => Toy guns looked
real enough [2] => U-S Forest Service Chief visiting [3] => Millions in
compensation divided up [4] => Alaska Air [5] => One car [6] => Services [7]
=> Talkeetna ) )
This is definitely progress, but the headlines are truncated. I have a
feeling this has something to do with linebreaks, but I don't know how to
account for those. For example, $out[0][0] should read "Injured hiker
rescued on Mt. Juneau" and $out[0][2] should end with "...Alaska for the
first time".
The manual entries for preg_match and preg_match_all pretty much assume you
have a working knowledge of reg expressions, which I don't, and a google
search turned up a bunch of pages, none of which I could understand enough
to be of help. So, any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure why you're using fscanf() and why it doesn't work. I would use
preg_match() on $contents.

[PHP] Re: multiple search
After executing the exact script I get the following (rough)error:
Warning: Undefined offset: 1 in :/Inetpub/co2_busters_mk2
The script(Which is being executed about 25m away) soon cause my computer to
fill up up it's memory(96mb used to about 256)
That is why I couldn't give you the message(IE crashed).
It is looping forever for some reason(I've never filled a client's computer
that fast before!)
How can I fix it?
Or if you cant tell me what does the error mean?

Assuming that the and tags are closed and you want everything in
between then try this:
preg_match_all("|(.*)|i",
$contents, $out);

You want to read up on "Pattern Modifiers" and "Pattern Syntax", that's where
all the regex black magic is explained.

[PHP] Login / Authentication Class
I've been developing a simple (protecting nuclear secrets it aint) login /
authentication class library.
This code is designed to -
1. check unname & password are completed
2. check uname & password contain only permitted chars (a-z,1-9)
3. match user against dbase user table
4. generate a unique session token
5. store session token in dbase
6. set client side session cookie
I've attached the code here in the hope that it may be of use to some of
you. I also welcome any feedback regarding problems / security shortcomings
or ways it can be improved.
Happy Coding...
Notes -
-- dbase is postgres (dbase stuff should probably should be abstracted to
make the code platform independant)
-- password encyrption is done using CRYPT_STD_DES rather than md5 because
of legacy data (passwords in current dbase are crypted like this)
Here's the code...
begin index.html >>
end index.html
begin doLogin.inc >>
uname = $uname;
$this->pass = $pass;
$this->cookieName = "cookieName";
$this->authUser();
}
// validate & authenticate
function authUser(){
// check that both uname & password are complete
$this->loginDataComplete();
// check uname & pass contain only valid chars
$this->validateLogin();
// create dbase object
$db = new db();
// encrypt password
$cryptedpass = crypt($this->pass,"CRYPT_STD_DES");
// select user & password from dbase
$userQuery = pg_exec($db->db, "select oid, adminuser from user where
username = '$this->uname' and pass = '$cryptedpass'");
if (pg_NumRows($userQuery) != 1) {
$this->halt();
} else {
$user_oid = pg_Result($userQuery, 0, "oid");
$this->adminUsr = pg_Result($userQuery, 0, "adminuser");
// generate unique md5 crypted session token
$this->createSessionID();
// write session token 2 user table
$resultSessid = pg_Exec($db->db, "update user set sessid =
'$this->session_id' where oid = $user_oid");
// set session cookie
$this->setSessionCookie();
// authentication complete
// redirect 2 welcome page here
}
}
// check uname & password are not empty
function loginDataComplete(){
if ((!isset($uname)) || (!isset($pass))) {
$this->halt;
} else {
return;
}
}
// do login char validation
function validateLogin() {
if ( (!$isValidUname = $this->validateChars($this->uname)) ||
(!$isValidPass = $this->validateChars($this->pass)) ) {
//$this->halt();
} else {
return;
}
}
// validates login against permitted chars
function validateChars($what){
$isValid = (ereg("^([A-Za-z0-9_]*)$", $what)) ? true : false;
return $isValid;
}
// create unique md5 encrypted session token
function createSessionID() {
srand((double)microtime()*100);
$this->session_id = md5(uniqid(rand()));
return;
}
// set cookie with encrypted session token
function setSessionCookie(){
$issetCookie = setcookie($this->cookieName, $this->session_id,
time()+7200); /* expire in 1 hour */
if (!$issetCookie == 1) {
$this->halt();
} else {
return;
}
}
// record logon attempt 2 in log
function recordLogin(){
$log = new log;
$log->record();
}

RE: [PHP] Re: MySQL - PHP combined log
I guess I missed the part where you wanted to implement something w/o changing existing scripts. There's no easy way to do it right now. You could write a script that'll run in the background and combine all of the error logs together. You can turn on error logs for PHP and for MySQL.

There's no reason to store images in a database. It's a waste of time
and it's a slower process than just loading it off the disk.
If you still want to know how to do it, search the web. This question is

Re: [PHP] PHP Security Advisory: Vulnerability in PHP versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1
Hi, 1. Every peice of software has bugs - PHP still bugs - it always will have. Deal with it. 2. It is no-one's responsibility other than your own to *test the software*. Anyone using any form of software in a production environment has at least one test bed to install new versions of software on to test for security. 3. You dont have to upgrade! You should, but you dont have to... its down to the system administrator to assess the need. 4. If your software requires register_globals to be set "On" in the php.ini then your software is badly coded and quite possiblty insecure in its own nature. 5. At the end of the day, we arent choosing YOU to use PHP... you chose PHP for your own reasons. If you dont like it - Microsoft will be happy to take chunks of money off your hands for a Win2k Server with IIS and ASP on it. The grass it always greener huh. - Dan >> Who said anything about M$?

Where might these warnings be? I just perused this URL:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
especially where it talks about the {} syntax, but I see no such
warnings of future deprecation. I also followed a provided link here:
http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/using-strings.php
but that also doesn't mention this warning. Is this in fact syntax that
will no longer work in some future version? If so, I'll start using {}
everywhere I embed variables in strings, but I was unaware that stuff
like this:
"This is a $variable embedded in a string"
might no longer work. If you have URLs, I'd love to read up on this.
Thanks!

[ straying even more off-topic... ] > It's doing this as a favor to you. If it displayed the "From" you'd know > less about the message than you know this way. I replied to Michael off-list, but since this popped up again... Pine uses a value called 'index-format' (configurable in the main config screen) to determine how and what to display for your email. Each piece of information (date, subject, author, etc...) that shows up in your index is represented by a 'token'. Pine has a stock set of tokens that it uses, but you can change the format to appear however you want. The default token is 'FROMORTO', which displays the 'from' address, unless 'From' is one of your own addresses (defined in pine's "alt-addresses" list); then it displays the 'To' value. To change this, simply define your own index-format, and use the 'FROM' token instead of 'FROMORTO'. More info is available by going to Pine's config screen (m, s, c), searching for 'index-format' (w index-format ), and hitting CTRL-G to bring up the help.

[PHP] need some help on stratagy... (php/mysql/javascript)
I have an embedded object in my webpage which will play a DVD movie right in the page (provided you have a disc in teh dvdrom drive). One of the javascript methods attached to this object returns the current time. OK, on to the php/mysql part. I have a mysql database which has a table to catalog camera shots digramed like so: ___ |*shot_num| | start_time| | end_time | |__| * = primary key During play, I have a javascript function which continuously gets teh current time and puts it in an input field called cur_time (clever huh?). So my question is... what is the best way to have a second field called shot_num which is continuously changing? It can't be good to query the database continuously, even if it is a small query, can it? What is a good stratagy to work with here? I'm still a bit of a novice with php/mysql, so be gentle.

Re: [PHP] control structure question
For steps and sequences, I always use switches. Most commonly associated with the
"action" variable, it would look like this:
switch($action) {
default:
// what to show if no variable exists, or is set to a value
// that is not acceptable below
break;
case "add_file":
// what to do in the even that a file needs to be added
// to the database.
break;
case "remove_file":
// what to do in the even that a file need sto be removed
// from the database.
break;
}
Basically, whatever the value of $action, that is what section of code will execute.
Hope that helps!

[PHP] PHP 4.2.2 install woe: cannot stat libs/libphp.so
I tried to upgrade from PHP 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 due to the security bug announce in the web site. When I do make install, it stopped with errors. The following are the last few lines from the output: [activating module `php4' in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf] cp libs/libphp4.so /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so cp: cannot stat `libs/libphp4.so': No such file or directory apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=1 make[1]: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/php-4.2.2' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 When I checked the directory libs, there are only files libphp4.a libphp4.la I tried to make symlink called libphp4.so to one of this files, and then the make install run without error.

Re: [PHP] control structure question
So refering back, i re-wrote the original example using the switch syntax...
switch (true) {
case doStep1():
case doStep2():
case doStep3():
error();
break;
default:
valid();
}
Each case expressions is evaluated, until one of them evaluates to a value
equal (==) to the switch expression (in this case a boolean error flag).
The error() code will only be called if one of the doStep() evaluates to
false.
And the valid() code will only be evaluated if the switch reached the
default, which means that none of the above check returned false
I think for this example the switch syntax is more elegant than using a
series of if() statements.
Thanks,
Javier

You can suppress the error messages of ANY function by placing an @ in front

$result = @mysql_query($sql);

So, it meant I have to use the post request that would send the data to my company's PHP webserver and somehow convert it into xml and send it to that credit bureau by cURL.

Assuming I understand you correctly, to surpress errors from PHP
functions simply put an '@' symbol before the function. This will
surpress the error message from PHP but will still execute your 'or'
statement, storing the message in your array, e.g.:
$result = @mysql_connect('blah','blah','blah') or
some_error_function();
or I guess you could also do:
$result = @mysql_connect('blah','blah','blah');
if (!$result)
{
$error_array[] = mysql_error();
...
}

[PHP] Re: OO Programming - get practical
If i can suggest... I'm working on a project for the Quebec Junior Major Hockey league and i found out that objects can be quite usefull in a large scale web application like this one. What i am doing is an object that connects to the database and stores pertinent information into it. Also, i have other objects called collections which read from the database in an uniform way. My junior programmers here don't understand the basics of OOP but they do like it, because it simplifies their work. They just need to know the object methods and properties, how to use it and they do. They don't even have to do complex request to the database anymore, all my objects do it for them. My point is, OOP is great and it INDEED should be pushed much much more into our common day programming of anything, should it be webapps or normal executables. If anyone is interested in developping a package of classes that could greatly benefit SQL Reading/Writting and Data manipulation i'd be ready to invest some time into it with other people so we can create a completly standalone reader/writter class for any situation, table and fields.

Programs do what you tell them to do. If you write something on the client and then tell it to get data from (or send data to) the credit bureau, why would you expect it to communicate with your server? If you want it to send/receive from your server, then you need to tell the program to do that. Also, PHP is a server side language, so, if you wrote something client side, what language did you write it in and you might be better off asking on a list for that language. > So, it meant I have to use the post request that would send the data to my > company's PHP webserver and somehow convert it into xml and send it to that > credit bureau by cURL. Is there a way to do that?? Sure. Make an HTML form on your server where users type in the input. You need to then design a script that handles the data the users submit. I don't know how you want the data formatted nor how data gets submitted to your credit bureau, so I can't state anything specific on the remaining steps. Anyway, when you're writing your HTML form in the first step, the action attribute in the tag should lead to that second script you made. --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] XML vs. PHP manual???
Ha ha, I'm so used to "html" instead of "htm". :-) It have been my thought that I write a script as a post method to send data to the server then have hte PHP webserver do the dirty work. I haven't figure out how to get PHP to put in the xml stuffs into the data and send it to the credit bureau. The documentation said the data need to be in XML format when sending and receiving the data. Before, I use the serial stream of data with the format setting according to the guideline in the manual I got from the credit bureau. Well, we don't want the customer to access that credit bureau site since they aren't a programmer, just somebody who want to see the inquiries. Lots of them don't know how to use SSLs. It doesn't seem to be a good idea to create a software and give it to the customers. Also, throught the server can I be able to tell if the data is a hit or not a hit, whether the add-on stuffs being used or not, etc. The person name in the inquiry, all together, would I be able to put into the database for billing purpose.

[PHP] Oracle persistent connection limit
Is there a way to limit the total number of persistent connection to an oracle database? I know this functionality exists for MySQL through a setting in the php.ini but I haven't found it for oracle. I am in an environment where we have about 10 users that connect to oracle from each of 10 webservers that each have about 20 apache processes and I would like to use persistent connections but the resulting 2000 connections would overwhelm oracle. I am looking at reducing the number of users but that will be a large undertaking to go through the entire codebase. Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] Script Testing Portal Connections...
Um...did you happen to modify this to have a valid IP address or host
name for $host and a valid port number for $port? It would also help to
have a valid path for $command that is going to talk to a daemon on the
port you specify (ie. making a connection to port 80 and asking for
/usr/games/fortune is not to going to get you far). If you have made
those modifications and it's still failing, some information about what

It dies i.e it executes the die statement: "SetUp Failed!" as shown
in the code... I have got an accept statement after it but if its not
reaching this satement there was no point in posting it up...

RE: [PHP] Re: does this mean ....
popen() opens a named pipe to a program - you can read and write to it if the program you're piping to supports that kind of interactivity (mostly you just read the output from the command). However, in this case, I don't think you want either popen() or fopen() (certainly not fopen() - that just opens a file and that's not at all what you want). You can use a system call or just backticks around the call to useradd (if it's on the same server as your web server). If it's not, you'll have to use sockets and or xmlrpc or some other messaging service. BUT...you probably know that useradd requires root privs. So you either have your webserver running as root (a really really bad idea), or you have it configured to allow suid programs or you have useradd as suid root - also not really good ideas. Maybe you want to take a look at a program called Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/) that already does what you are talking about. I haven't used it for several years, but as I remember, it was a pretty handy tool. ..mike..

How do I get the certificate information from that website and display it? I can use print_r($GLOBALS) but it only display the certificate from this PHP webserver. So, how do I get the certificate information from that website?? Thanks, FletchSOD -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] secure sockets
I'm trying to connect to a Java application that's listening on a socket using SSL. I am trying to use fsockopen with the address beginning with ssl://, but it doesn't work. There's no error message that I can find, it just doesn't create the file-handler. Here's some sample code: That returns: Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/home/research/htdocs/tests/secure.php on line 8 Warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/home/research/htdocs/tests/secure.php on line 10 0 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/home/research/htdocs/tests/secure.php on line 20 Thanks in advance for any help, Josh Levine -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Credit card checks?
Correct. Your first "parsing" of the credit card number could be done
by the web server, just to check its length and format: you could use
strlen() function in PHP to count the digits, to verify it is correct.
You could strip the dashes with ereg_replace("-", "",
$credit_card_number) then count its length.
To actually verify that the card submitted is a number assigned by VISA,
your system would have to connect via LinkPoint, AuthorizeNet, or a
service like that. They do address comparisson, bank assigner id
comparison, and much much more. Without a merchant account, your PHP
could only verify that it "appears" to be a valid credit card number.
The only other option is to get your local bank to hook you up with a
merchant account and transaction equipment, and you could just run the
cards "by hand". That option doesnt sound very fun but some folks
prefer doing biz that way.
I dont know about AuthorizeNet, but LinkPoint has an API written in PHP
that is supposed to be inexpensive, and easilly integratable into any
PHP apps. I heard it was only $125.00.. Not a bad price for a few
hundred lines of code. I am in no way affiliated with or trying to
advertise for these companies. Hope this helps, Kris

[PHP] Object problem
I just wrote this message in the wrong list so i'll be short...
I have two classes:
- mysql_connection
- data_collection
data_collection REQUIRES a mysql_connection object to work. So i decided to
pass this object in the constructor for the data_collection, but when i do
so it seems it creates a copy of this object and doesn't use the object i
had previously created...
I tried to do function data_collection(&$mysql_server){
...
}
But even the & sign like they say to use on the php.net web site doesn't
work, it creates a copy of the object. The only way i found to bypass this
problem is to do:
my_collection->mysql_server = &$mysql_server;
which will assign a reference of the mysql_collection object to my
collection, but this means i need to modify something like 45 files of my
web site and also i have to add some init settings because they where done
in the constructor where you needed the connection...
please help me out!!!

[PHP] parsing
Okay,
I want to know if anybody has a clue which is more efficient,
processorwise/parsingwise:
this:
--
echo
"".$somevar."".$somevardesc."";
or this:
--
echo "{$somevar}{$somevardesc}";
I almost always use the first method (just seems more readable to me), but
with all of the discussion popping up about curly brackets, i was wondering
if it really makes a difference? Any vets out there care to put in their
$0.02?

[PHP] Re: parsing
try
echo "$somevar$somevardesc";
which is probably better than the other two but don't quote me on that!
You can just include the variables because you have used " rather than ' (I
think it works for echo as well as print)

[PHP] HELP: COM(CDO.Message)HTML vs TEXT
Greetings PHPers. For those of you with MS COM experience or those who want to know
how to send a MULTI MIME type message read on.
I'm trying to find out the syntax for sending an HTMLbody and TEXTbody in the same
message thus making it a TRUE MULTI message. (see code)
This is what I have... what am I doing wrong??? Any Clues?
$message = new COM('CDO.Message');
$message->To = $myList[$i];
$message->From = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$message->Subject 'My Subject Line';
$message->TEXTBody = "This is my plain Text Body!"
$message->HTMLBody = "HTML STRING HERE";
$message->Send();
Do I need to declare the HTML body first?
Do I have to set the AutoGeneratedTextBody property to false?
Commenting out the TEXTBody line sends a auto generated text body by default, but I
was hoping to be able to customize my TEXTBody with a bit more control.
Your comments are always GREATLY appreciated.

Re: [PHP] parsing
I just benched it. If there is a difference in performance then it is too
small to detect with microseconds. I'd say there's no need to parse the

[PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
I am hoping someone can help me with a desperate problem I am having I know nothing about PHP and hoping that it might be able to solve a problem I have with HTML tables. I want my web background to cover the entire screen regardless of screen size. The background has a header, a left side nav and a footer. I want the footer to be on the bottom of the screen or bottom of the text, which ever is greater. If you go to www.v3.aru.org.nz you will get an idea of what I'm talking about. If you are using IE 5.x or greater it should show correctly. I used the HTML table tag height=100%, however this is not a valid tag and therefore Netscape ignores it. Also if I use it it wont validate as a true complaint code, which I want it to. So can I use PHP to create a table or place the background images to create a header, side nav and footer with the middle white section adjusting to screen size. I don't want to have to greater multiple sites for different resolutions and would rather have one template that all pages call by an include statement (That's the ASP command, think I saw the same command in PHP) Any help or solution would be appreciated as I have been searching the net and working on this for weeks and I'm getting nowhere.

Re: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout

Re: [PHP] Getting the day if given a date
You can use the one or the combination of:
date();
mktime();
strtotime();
eg:
echo date("l", strtotime("22 July 2003"));
Check the php online doc for explanation of each function.

RE: [PHP] PHP creating table for HTML layout
I have had some success with something similar to what you want to do, using frames.

Nope. PHP is running as part of Apache. PHP can ask Apache to write stuff into its own log. That's one of the features of http://php.net/error_log NOTE: If you are running PHP as a CGI, this probably ain't gonna work, because, as noted, you need access to those logs, and PHP running as a CGI is a separate process and probably can't convince Apache that it's kosher to write into its log files.

There *IS* a setting in php.ini to log every error. However, it only logs PHP errors, not unreported MySQL errors. I think you *MUST* write some PHP code to get MySQL errors to appear in the first place, and you'd have to write even more code to get them to be considered PHP errors -- I *THINK*. Never turned on this feature, so can't be 100% certain. >How are people out there managing the scripts/script errors caused by >users on their systems? Or is it a case of "handling the crisis when it >happens"? In most cases, dedicated applications *ARE* using a common 'include' file and the Project Manager or Lead Developer will kill you if you don't. In a shared ISP sort of environment, you just have to educate your users, and be sure you make it easy for them to Do The Right Thing. Does their default include_path have a non web-tree directory conveniently placed in their home directory for them to throw their db_connnect.inc file into it? My ISP does that, but I dunno if the rest are that smart or not. He called the directory 'php' instead of 'include' like I would have, but I can live with that. :-) Actually, he provides a db class pre-built in a file in that directory, along with some custom pre-built PHP scripts like guestbook and Tour Calendar... But that's because he focuses on a particular market. >You see, as administrator, I need to be able to quickly see who are >coding in such a way as to leave security holes, or even worse, cause >the server to crash due to poor coding.

You won't catch a security hole by logging anyway, I don't think... Though I guess you could pull out the file names and make sure they aren't in the web-tree and aren't, say, world-writable (shudder). 1000 PHP files? That's not that many :-) If you need to log every MySQL query specifically, that's *probably* gonna be a debugging feature (not recommended for production use) in /etc/my.conf, assuming a recent install following the instructions that come with MySQL. If you installed with Triad or an RPM or anything like that, you're on your own. It's actually fairly hard to bring down the whole machine using PHP and MySQL -- You'd have to work at it, or do something incredibly stupid... Locking up or killing off a single Apache child is less unlikely (still not common) but that usually takes care of itself with Apache children doomed to die within a certain time-frame or # of requests. So you run enough Apache children that it doesn't matter if a few get locked up for awhile. >Are there any admins out there that have policies about scripting >practices on their systems; ie, checking a script from a user before it >is allowed to be uploaded etc? Possibly. But that's *GOT* to be very resource-intensive on the human side, and probably not useful for most situations. I think the actual answer is that *MOST* admins are looking at the "big picture" and monitoring their machines rather than try to force users into a single channel or scrutinize every line of code. If you try to force users into a single channel, you'll either make them all frustrated and drive them away, or there will be so many who find some work-around that it won't really be effective anyway. I think we can safely say that scrutinizing every line of code is not an option for most. Set up a monitoring system of your critical services (HTTP, MySQL) and just focus on quality of service, rather than perfection of your users. While I understand your concerns, I think you're focusing too much on the details of what could go wrong, and missing the forest for the trees. If something does go wrong, there will most likely be physical evidence (logs, error messages, top output) that you can use to find the problem quickly. In the rare cases where it doesn't, be prepared to turn on logging and take the performance hit until you *CAN* find it. Another suggestion: Provide a "development" setup for your users. If they have an easy place to put scripts/database calls and pound on it before it goes into Production to a live audience, they'll more likely use that and make sure the damn thing doesn't take down anything before going "live" -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: htt

My bad.
It's the square brackets for an array that is deprecated.

Right before Example 7-3.
I haven't quite got the hang of using {} inside of strings yet... It just
looks so ugly :-)

[PHP] MySQL equivalent to append?
Greetings, is there a mySQL syntax command equivalent to appending information to a text record.
