Whether your user's submitted form data is in $_POST or $_GET depends on what method attribute you've specified in the tag in your HTML code. Take a look at the following HTML example: Now in the file script.php you can access the submitted form values in the $_GET array, using the form field names as array keys. e.g: If you had set the in your HTML, then you could have accessed the form values from the $_POST array within PHP.

Why would i do this long coding in the second page "script.php" the variables values is already available in "script.php" when i do a post or get, if i use $_POST or $_GET to define a variable already available, that seems like a lot of extra coding for no reason.

RE: [PHP] Re: Where and how do i use $_post etc
Let's make some assumptions - 1) having register_globals on is bad 2) we all like to write scripts as secure as possible Given #1 and #2, if you stop referencing variables directly (e.g. as $firstName in the script below) since register_globals is off, it immediately adds a degree of security to your script if you're aware of the difference between GET and POST requests. GET requests are quite easy to fake (just add the variables and values to the URL) and unless you have checks against it, a malicious user could take advantage of this. POST requests are a bit more tricky to fake, but not "difficult" in the grand scheme of things. Either way, in the examples that Piet wrote, there's no "extra coding". Writing the variable names is a bit more key strokes, but given the advantages of having even a slightly more secure script, it's a good thing and worth a bit more typing. -M -Original Message- From: Piet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 26, 2003 6:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Where and how do i use $_post etc Why would i do this long coding in the second page "script.php" the variables values is already available in "script.php" when i do a post or get, if i use $_POST or $_GET to define a variable already available, that seems like a lot of extra coding for no reason.

[PHP] possible bug in PHP function mysql_query() ?
MySQL version: 4.0.16 PHP version: 4.3.2 Problem code: $query = "SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE columnname LIKE '%%'"; mysql_query($query); Results: query fails, mysql_errno() returns 1064 (syntax error) I have tracked the problem down to the WHERE clause; using any other number of digits (except eight), the query suceeds. It seems to be a problem with the comparison logic, because other comparison operators also fail; specifically, I have tested WHERE columnname = and WHERE columnname = '' When running the identical query in PhpMyAdmin 2.5.5 RC1, or at the MySQL command line, the query works without a problem.

RE: [PHP] Maths dumbass
Basically, have an array of # of days per month. Do a quick compare given the month for the # of days. For the sake of example, we'll assume the month in question has 31 days. So, here's some givens: $month_days = 31; $former_plan_days = $current_date; $new_plan_days = ($current_date - $month_days); Now, to get the values: $former_plan_bill = ($full_former_price * ($former_plan_days / $month_days)); $new_plan_bill = ($full_new_price * ($new_plan_days / $month_days)); $total_month_bill = ($former_plan_bill + $new_plan_bill); There you have it. This should work no matter if they get an "upgrade" or "downgrade" in service because it just takes the ratio of days to get the percentage of the price that's owed and then multiplies the full price to get the percentage that's owed.

Check out shell_exec() and its siblings. I'd likely use it like so $output =
shell_exec("perl myscript.pl"); and then do something with the $output
variable

My site, at the moment, uses SSI to call a Perl browser-sniffing script.
I would like to:
1. use php to call the Perl script.
2. then save the values the Perl script outputs as php variables.
Can this be done? If so, how?
Hi, Philip. If you are not 100% stuck on using a perl script to sniff
the browser, you might want to use Phpsniff, a class available on
sourceforge:
http://phpsniff.sourceforge.net
I've used it in many of my applications with excellent results.
Cheers,
Pablo

Hi Radek,
I tried to do something with this and failed dismally.
Is it possible for you to give me a really basic working example of what you suggest?
Thanks,
Philip Pawley

I've been using apache 2.0 and php 4.x for quite some time now, and have
really only seen very minor problems. I did run into some odd problem a
while back, and asked about here - got the standard message about "don't
expect php to work in apache 2.0". It was something to do with
error-handling and timeout, IIRC.
Why not go with Apache 2.0? If you should run into some showstopper, revert
to 1.3 - it's not that much of an effort (provided you don't start using
apache 2.0-only features).

Thanks very much, and Merry Christmas to all--rather rude of me to've been
whining for help all this time and not remembering the courtesy of holiday
wishes.
Okay, I made the change to:
$txtBoxCounter = $_POST['txtBoxCounter'];
$hdnCounter = $_POST['hdnCounter'];
Now I get:
parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in [my path to this file] on line 34
I'm still missing the big picture.

Change:
$txtBoxCounter = $_POST['txtBoxCounter]
$hdnCounter = $_POST['hdnCounter]
to
$txtBoxCounter = $_POST['txtBoxCounter'];
$hdnCounter = $_POST['hdnCounter'];
(Notice the ' at the end of txtBoxCounter and hdnCounter.

Cesar,
Sorry to have taken so long to answer. My day got complicated. Anyway,
here's the code all over again, with the last changes I was advised to
make. I took out the line spaces and added line numbers. But first, the
latest error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in [path to file] on
line 11
Re: [PHP] File Uploads
Hmm, well, to answer my own question, it looks like the following will do. Sorry to make an ass of myself. Hope you were all entertained!!
