[PHP] update more "same" fields at the same time

all with one submit.
One of the many ways to do it:
When writing the form, number the fieldnames with the ID's of the items.
Separate name and ID with a clear character like '__'
In the receiving page, split the name again.
Then build a query for every record. I'm not sure whether you can string
multiple queries, separated by a semicolon (;), have a try.
this is a principle code (not working but it shows the idea) for checking
every incoming variable
for [each $key, $value in $_POST]
{if (! strpos('field',$key)==false)
{ $key=explode('__',$key);
$ID=$key[1];
mysql_query(UPDATE mytable SET WHERE ID=$ID)
}
}

Re: [PHP] Question about $_GET
Forms have two distinct methods. GET and POST. if the form has a
method of POST vars are stored in $_POST, ditto for GET.
Use $_POST['id'] not $_GET['id'] if your form uses the POST method.

I think that that is a really bad advice.
Let me explain.
For one, the single quotes are not in the way here because the query is
written between double quotes.
Then, leaving out the single quotes like Marek suggests will only work
because PHP is too programmer-friendly.
But the indexes of such arrays should always be quoted, because they are
strings, and not the name of 'constant' values. If you do not quote them
PHP will first try to look up whether you defined id somewhere, as a
constant (with define ('id','value');). Which you did not, so PHP will fail
to find it. Only then PHP will gently assume that since there is no
constant defined with the name id, that you meant 'id'. Valuable processing
time wasted for no reason.
Set error_reporting to ~E_ALL if you do not believe me.
I would support the $_POST suggestion by Jason.

I believe you, but try it first:

this is *different*:

If you want to update all the records that have subcat = $_GET[a] with
the same values then you can do somethink like this:
$subcat = $_POST['a'];
$qsubcat = $_POST['subcat'];
"update tables set
field1=$_POST['textfield'],field2='$_POST['textfield1']' where
subcat='$qsubcat'"
I don 't know if this query will execute correctly because i don 't know
the datatypes of your table fields.
I prefer writing update and insert php scripts independed from select
pages.It 's easier to read.

Re: [PHP] Question about $_GET
Frank,
This is frustrating because there are several things at work here...
-- firstly --
Page data (POST or GET) is ALWAYS 'character' type when received into your
script -- whether or not that's how you use it in your application/database
So most times you need to "settype($id, "integer") in order to use the values
in the particular case of database queries where the data=type is some numeric type
-- secondly --
MySQL query syntax generally _requires_ character data to be 'single quoted',
whereas integers should be unquoted
So if your Newsid field in the MySQLK table structure is character type then use
the single quotes if integer the _unquotes in the $query
((Your error messages imply that this is
likely one of the probs with the code.))
-- lastly --
For some reason (beyond my grasp) the variable substitution in PHP behaves
differently for _simple_ vars ($var) as opposed to _complex_ vars like
$_POST["somevarname"] and $arrayname["$othervar"]
So the conmbined solution to at least give a try
===
settype($id, "integer"); // assuming that the MySQL field-type is an integer
$id = $_GET['id']; // change to what I called a _simple_ var ;-)
// then place $id in the query as unquoted
$query = "SELECT Newsheadline, News, Contact FROM news WHERE Newsid = $id";
Hope that helps,
Tom Henry

Let's put this straight when referring to items in an array inside a
double-quoted string that is the correct syntax to use. IE:
$query = "SELECT Newsheadline, News, Contact FROM news WHERE Newsid =
{$_GET['id']}";
Your problem now is clearly one of SQL syntax as the error states so
explicitly.
If Newsid is not numerical type then you need single quotes around the
expression that it is being compared to. IOW your query should look like:
$query = "SELECT Newsheadline,
News,
Contact
FROM news
WHERE Newsid = '{$_GET['id']}'";

[PHP] dynamic variables in a while loop?
Hi everyone.
I am more of an ActionScript person, but I have to do this one in php.
Should
be easy for everyone familiar with php syntax...
Here is what I want to do:
I am getting several variables into a Php Script such as:
help1 = "yes" / "no"
help2 = "yes" / "no"
.
.
.
helpX = "yes" / "no"
I need to check whether the variable is true or false, and according to that
add
1 to a counter variable.
Something like this I'd do in ActionScript, but dont know about php
[CODE]
$i = 0;
While (++$i <= 8) {
if ([help]+$i=="yes"){ // this line produces an error...
$counterYes += counterYes;
}
}
[/CODE]
Do I have to initialize all variables before I can use them in php?
Thank you very, very much for your time and your help!!

You can't pass an array thru the URL. What you need to do is serialize() it then urlencode() it (or maybe rawurlencode()). Then you can put the resulting string in the URL.

I think you need to read the PHP manual page on variable variables:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php -- and the one
on string operators:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.string.php

I assume this is a typo for $counterYes += 1 ...!

No -- but, presuming these values are coming from a form, or a query on the
URL, the other thing you need to take account of is the configuration
setting for register_globals. If it's on, then fine, the above will work
with appropriate amendments to suit PHP syntax; if it's off, then you have
to use the $_POST[] or $_GET[] array as appropriate, and in fact the
variable variables stuff is not relevant because the array index is just the
HelpX string.

Just wanted some opinions on the best way to produce well-formed xml from a php object. In my case, I was toying with the idea of a generic way to product an xml file from a PEAR DataObject - the idea being that a 3rd party requests data, I extract from mysql using Pear's DataObjects, then tell that objects to produce xml (or pass it to a transformer or something).

Re: [PHP] update more "same" fields at the same time
At 14:29 15-1-03, you wrote:
> not with the same data
>
You can put your data and the primary keys in arrays and exec a loop
but the data[0] must be the data for the id[0],
data[1] must be the data for id[1] etc.
The loop should be something like this:
for (int $i=0; $i<=total_records_select_returned -1; $i++)
update table set field1='$data[$i]' where id=$id[$i];
I 'm not sure for the syntax but the idea is correct.
That would work good and is shorter than what i did (and accidently mailed
to myself in stead of to this list):
You split the record ID and value in two form elements while I lump the
fieldname with the recordID into the form element name.
I have table with six records in it. I can use "while" to display them all,
but in form. Is there any way I can edit all six records, and update them
all with one submit.
The way i understand the question is, you have several records (or rows) in
one table that you want to edit on the same page.
One of the many ways to do it:
When writing the form, number the fieldnames with the ID's of the items.
Separate name and ID with a clear character like '__'
So to make this do something like
1. make a query to select the items, select the values you want to show as
well as the record's ID field, from now I will call that $recordID.
Echo a tag
2. Loop through the query result with your favourite loop structure and in
the loop echo each record somehow like this:
echo ' ';
In the receiving page, split the name again.
Then build a query for every record.
With fieldname 'fieldname':
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)) //walk
through all form results, key is form_element_name
//and
value is value.
{if (! strpos($key,'fieldname')===false) //only
with variables starting with the fieldname
{ $keybits=explode('__',$key);$recordID=$keybits[1]; //split
the recordID out of the name of the variable
$query="UPDATE mytable SET fieldname='.$value.' WHERE
recordID=$recordID";
mysql_query($query) or die('Problem updating data );
}
}

Just use concatenation (.) as follows: $query = "select newsheadline, news, contact from news where newsid = '" . $_GET['id'] . "'"; This builds $query using three separate strings. The first and third strings are double quoted, and the middle string is your variable. Note another difference is that the value of $_GET['id'] is going to be surrounded by single quotes once $query is constructed.

[PHP] fgets and Macs
Hello all. I was doing some reading and found that fgets() doesn't work so well with a text file created on a mac, and php.net has a fix. It would be wonderful if my php.ini file actually contained the variable "auto_detect_line_endings." How can I solve this problem? Is my only solution (without upgrading php) to convert the text files to unix format? Or am I looking in the wrong place for that value?

I think to achieve that you need to have a certain amount of rights, so you
may have problems to get modules in Apache or .htaccess (see below) working
when your ISP does not want to help you.
I've heard that Apache's mod_rewrite module can be very powerful in doing
things like you propose.
But I had to find another way and i have now put a .htaccess file in the
main directory of my website with a redirect in it:
ErrorDocument 404 /redirect/redirect.php
So this means that when people ask for a directory or file that does not
exist, they do not get the standard 404 error message, but they are send on
to the file www.mysite.org/redirect/redirect.php. BUT! it is very important
that you do not write www.yourdomain.org because then you loose the
information in the URL.
So then you come to the redirect.php file.
In this file you should see the original URL in $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL']:
$path=trim($_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL']);
The way i did is was to use such links (Search Engine friendly!)
www.mysite.org/news/1224
www.mysite.org/researcher/SLanger
I would then split the URL at the slashes like this:
$path_bits=explode('/',$path);
And then i forward to the longer urls i normally use:
switch (strtolower($path_bits[1]))
{
case 'news':
Header("Location:
http://www.sense.nl/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&mode=nested&order=0&thold=0&sid=".trim($path_bits[2])
);
break;
case 'researcher':
Header("Location:
http://www.sense.nl/redirect/research.php?".trim($path_bits[2]) );
break;
default:
Header("Location: http://www.sense.nl/redirect/404.html";);
}
404.html would send real 404's to a polite message.

Yes. I use mod_rewrite to do this. If you have access to httpd.conf, that is the best place to put rules. You can also put rules in .htaccess if that is your only option, however, you take a performance hit for doing it that way. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html#InternalAPI - Brad -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Is there a way to substitute HTTP_REFERER for PHPSESSID ???
My company's website rely heavily on $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] and it use Session ID also. Problem is HTTP_REFERER is not reliable because it's data come from the web browser, just like javascript in a way. When I use the Hier Menus or the javascript, 'location.replace', it prevent the HTTP_REFERER from working and it instead show a blank. I have been experimenting with a new sway of checking. Is there a way that Session ID that can completely replace the HTTP_REFERER? HTTP_REFERER have been a lot of help for my company's website because it prevent the direct access attempt without logging in. This is pretty important for the credit bureau.

[PHP] imagecreatefromjpeg crash
Greetings,
I am having a very peculiar problem trying to use imagecreatefromjpeg
(indeed, ANY of the imagecreatefrom... functions)
under both Windows and FreeBSD.
First off, here are my server specs:
Win: apache 1.3.23, php 4.2.1, GD 2.0 or better
BSD: apache 1.3.26, php 4.2.3, GD 2.0 or better
And now the problem:
I am trying to use imagecreatefromjpg() to load in an image so that I can
copy parts of it to other images. Here;s the code:
$orig = imagecreatefromjpeg('46880_img.jpg');
// initialize the image parts for the email form
$cell1 = imagecreate (468, 29);
$cell2 = imagecreate (231, 25);
$cell5 = imagecreate (468, 26);
//copy the parts of the original banner to the individual cell images
imagecopy($cell1, $orig, 0,0,0,0,468, 29);
imagecopy($cell2, $orig, 0,0,0,29,231, 25);
imagecopy($cell5, $orig, 0,0,0,54,486, 26);
$c1 = imagejpeg ( $cell1, "cell1_img.jpg",80);
$c2 = imagejpeg ( $cell2, "cell2_img.jpg",80);
$c5 = imagejpeg ( $cell5, "cell5_img.jpg",80);
$c7 = imagejpeg ( $orig, "orig_img.jpg",80);
On windows, I get:
"php.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows".
The apache error log shows:
"Premature end of script headers: f:/nusphere/apache/php/php.exe"
On BSD, I get:
DNS error in IE
Netscape just waits forever.
If I comment out the imagecreatefromjpeg function, the script behaves as
expected on both systems:
The imagecopy functions complain that the original image doesn't exist.
Note: I have tried to fopen the image, and use imagecreatefromstring with
the exact same results.
Is this a problem with GD?
Is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Keith

I have a script that turns certain words into links. That I am having
no problems with, it is when I want to turn the links back in to plain
text that I am having the problem. Below are my examples. And I know
my regex is being greedy but I don't know how to stop it from being so
damn greedy I thought the ? mark would help but it didn't. Any help
would be appreciated. So here it goes:
The code:
$strStr = "This is USF at Tampa. This
is USF at Tampa.";
echo $strStr."\n";
$strStr = preg_replace("/(Tampa)<\/a>/","\\1",$strStr);
echo $strStr."\n";
$strStr = preg_replace("/(USF)<\/a>/","\\1",$strStr);
echo $strStr."\n";
The output:
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at Tampa.
This is Tampa. This is Tampa.
This is Tampa. This is Tampa.
The expected output:
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at Tampa.
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at
Tampa.
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at Tampa.

[PHP] OOP
Hi, I've been doing a little OOP lately and have a few questions. I want to build an application, there a re lots of elements to the application: Authentication, Database, Presentation, Error Handling etc. Now, I want to code this cleanly and make it reusable. So, a class for each of these elements would be a good idea? Say I have an Authentication class. It has to run on it own. Should I build database, error methods into each of my classes? That seems to defeat the point in the first place?

Well, a /U at the end of your pattern will make it so the regex isn't
greedy. That may solve your problem.
Or you could try matching "/]+>(Tampa)<\/a>/"
which will match an , followed by a >.
So it essentially makes it ungreedy.

I was hoping someone would say that :) How could I code that though. I've only just started with OOP and don't understand how I can inherit methods to classes? Is it a good idea to create a new object within each class which, for example, needs to do database stuff or should I inherit the methods?

Yeah, that's the best recommendation. Especially if you plan on distributing your code for others to use, where you have no idea of the error setting on their machines.

[PHP] Security in included PHP files
I am beginning work on a new web-based application using PHP and MySQL. I have been doing a lot of reading about PHP security and web application security in general to make sure I am up-to-date on what is known in this area. My style of PHP is to name all included files with a .php extension and of course this raises the problem of people accessing these script files directly. My main question is if all of the code inside an included PHP file is put inside one or more functions this should prevent anyone from running any of that code by directly calling that PHP file correct? There is no way for them to invoke a function just from a URL assuming I have no code at all outside the functions. And this leads to another question... if I encapsulate most of my variables inside one or more classes doesn't this help protect against attacks also? Is there a way for someone to set a class variable to a value just from a GET or POST request (or even file or cookie)? As long as I am carefully validating what information I put into the object variable this seems to be a way of adding another layer of protection. Any thoughts or comments regarding this and any other issues I should take into consideration regarding security are welcome.

Re: [PHP] Question about $_GET
I agree with Chris, the quote should stay there to prevent confusion.
Nevertheless, I often run in the same problem. Sometimes, the only way to
fix it is by removing the quotes ($_GET[id]).
I know PHP documents goes against this, but it dosn't always work with the
quotes.
Perhaps the dev team can look more into this.

Re: [PHP] Security in included PHP files
I agree these are good solutions and I have considered them. However, I am looking for an all-inclusive solution that is code only within PHP that allows the admin of the application to copy the files to their server and not need to do any server specific configuration. That is why I don't name the included files with .inc. It would require configuration of the server to prevent downloading of those files and I don't want to require that step of people who choose to run the app on their server. Thanks for the input!

Re: [PHP] sending array
This method seems to have a size limitation (which is very small).
If your array is (relatively) large, page two will not display the
passed values.
I'm not sure the url string became too long or if the problem came from
SERIALIZE(). Just beware.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
It's not a PHP bug. Many PHP programmer tried to their best to use
HTTP_REFERER so they can keep track of which webpages on the current website
did the user last visited. That way, they can keep out the unauthorized
access to the website without first logging in to the website.
Well, my company's website use both SSL and Session ID. They are good for
starter but they aren't any secure if anyone can make a direct access
without logging in. That's where I use HTTP_REFERER to see what last page
did he or she visited, if the last page being visited is outside of my
company's website then php moved the end user to the login page. It is
pretty effective.
The common problem with the browsers is that they aren't compactible so
HTTP_REFERER don't alway work right and sometime return a blank if those
three are being used. I had been observing it for a few years. Those three
are 1) HierMenus, 2) location.replace('') and 3) location.href=''. When
either one of these are in use, some browsers return with a blank in
HTTP_REFERER.

Re: [PHP] All Request to the same script
have you tried
==idex.php===
switch($op) {
case "intro":
include("welcome.php");
break;
case "about":
include("about.php");
break;
case "contact":
incldue("contact.php");
break;
default:
include("welcome.php");
}
You would then list your links (in the html pages) as
About us
About us
Back to home
Note: You can substitute 'index.php?op=about' with '?op=about'.

Re: [PHP] Security in included PHP files
Have you thought about moving your include files outside of the web directory? i.e.If your site is in ../apache/htdocs/web/mywbsite_folder then move your include files to ../apache/my_include_folder/ or something similar. -john =P e p i e D e s i g n s www.pepiedesigns.com Providing Solutions That Increase Productivity Web Developement.

Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
try looking at sessions,
if they don't have a login session id send them to the login page otherwise they are
logged in so let them see the page.
works for me

Subject: Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem
It's not a PHP bug. Many PHP programmer tried to their best to use
HTTP_REFERER so they can keep track of which webpages on the current website
did the user last visited. That way, they can keep out the unauthorized
access to the website without first logging in to the website.
Well, my company's website use both SSL and Session ID. They are good for
starter but they aren't any secure if anyone can make a direct access
without logging in. That's where I use HTTP_REFERER to see what last page
did he or she visited, if the last page being visited is outside of my
company's website then php moved the end user to the login page. It is
pretty effective.
The common problem with the browsers is that they aren't compactible so

This places a large restriction on your ability to provide the best solution. However, there are still a couple of things you might consider, though I'm not sure if you will be fond of them: 1. Force those who install your software to place include files outside of document root. I know a few applications that check this and will output an error with a brief description of the security hazard if the include files are found to be under document root. This way, you can be assured that by the time people get your application to work, the include files will no longer be under document root. A similar notion is to combine this with a Web-based installation program, where your application relocates the include files during installation. 2. If your users are using Apache, you can include a .htaccess file in the top-level directory of your application that denies access to *.inc files. Maybe something like that will work for you.

Re: [PHP] Regular Expression Help in my PHP! Sorry if wrong group
Thanks for the response. I found this web page
(http://www.itworld.com/nl/perl/01112001/) right after I submitted my
question. It was great for explaining regexp's greediness.
1lt John W. Holmes wrote:
I have a script that turns certain words into links. That I am having
no problems with, it is when I want to turn the links back in to plain
text that I am having the problem. Below are my examples. And I know
my regex is being greedy but I don't know how to stop it from being so
damn greedy I thought the ? mark would help but it didn't. Any help
would be appreciated. So here it goes:
The code:
$strStr = "This is USF at Tampa. This
is USF at Tampa.";
echo $strStr."\n";
$strStr = preg_replace("/(Tampa)<\/a>/","\\1",$strStr);
echo $strStr."\n";
$strStr = preg_replace("/(USF)<\/a>/","\\1",$strStr);
echo $strStr."\n";
The output:
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at Tampa.
This is Tampa. This is Tampa.
This is Tampa. This is Tampa.
The expected output:
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at Tampa.
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at
Tampa.
This is USF at Tampa. This is USF at Tampa.
Well, a /U at the end of your pattern will make it so the regex isn't
greedy. That may solve your problem.
Or you could try matching "/]+>(Tampa)<\/a>/"
which will match an , followed by a >.
So it essentially makes it ungreedy.

[PHP] Version Upgrade on Apache/win
Hello all, I'm having trouble with upgrading my php 4.1.1 to 4.3. I have Apache 1.3.2 /php 4.1.1/Mysql 3.23.39 on winME. It has been running fine but I can't make php 4.3 work. I have installed 4.3 to a directory next to my current php. I put 4.3 in /php43 and have php 4.1.1 in /php in the same directory. When I switch the directory in httpd.conf to php43 and restart Apache it says it can't LoadModule php4_module /php43/sapi/php4apache.dll but if I switch back to /php it starts right up. All of the files in php exist in php43. The names are all the same anyway. The two installations of php appear almost identical but Apache doesn't like the new one. What am I missing ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] HTTP_REFERER work without a problem....
That wouldn't work if there is already a Session ID, so that's where
HTTP_REFERER come into play.
Try it out by logging to any webpages with Session ID. Then copy the URL
address with the Session ID already there. Paste it into an email and send
it to a different computer. On the new computer, substitute a couple of
alpha-numeric characters with a different one. Like replace any of the 5
characters with a different 5 characters. Finally, copy the URL address
with the alter Session ID and paste it into the URL address of a browser and
press enter. You'll find yourself being able to access the website without
logging in. The $_SESSION data would not exist but it gave the hacker what
they need to break in and hacker aren't pretty dumb, they can figure out to
make it work along the way.
What so ironic is that the SSL can be established anyway.

The recommended way to refer variables inside doubled-quoted strings is
enclose them in braces {}. Thus:
"{$_GET['id']}"

Can you give examples where it doesn't work?
