[PHP] Re: Updating a single line in a file
For small DBs and where I don't expect very heavy traffic, I simply put
everything in an array, where the keys are unique.
Arrays are quite easy to work with for your type of application
Here is a snip I wrote recently
function write_data_file($courses_array){
$file_str= base64_encode(serialize($courses_array));
//base64 required because of special chars
$fh = fopen(DATA_FILE_FP, "wb");
if(!$fh) die("Code error in update_data_file(),
\"DATA_FILE\" could not be opened. Check file system.");
if (flock($fh, LOCK_EX)) { // do exclusive lock
fwrite($fh, $file_str);
flock($fh, LOCK_UN); // release lock
}
else die("Code error, could not lock \"DATA_FILE\". Contact tech support.");
fclose($fh);
//No need to restore data dir and file to 755 and 644.
return;
}//end function
To get your array back just like it was.
function get_all_courses(){
$file_str= base64_decode(file_get_contents(DATA_FILE_FP));
//base64 required
return unserialize($file_str);
//returns data array
}//end function

Hi,
What is the best method to update a single line in a text file?
I have a file made of identifiers, that is pointed on by a htaccess file and
used by a server to give access to a web site.
The file content is like this :
login1:pass1\r\n
login2:pass2\r\n
loginn:passn\r\n
loginn1:passn1\r\n
lastlogin:lastpass\r\n
This file can be modified in three ways
update a single line when a user updates its profile
delete a single line when the webmaster makes a user inactive
append a line when the webmaster makes a user active
the difficulties are :
there is not the same number of users and lines in this file,
we dont know at which line are the identifiers of a user,
when updating identifiers, we must keep new line characters at the end.
So what are the best functions to use to read and rewrite the file?
file() which puts all the content in an array, including the new line
characters? (if so, we need to use array_search() or array_keys() to find
where are the identifiers
fread() or file_get_contents() which puts all the content in a string? I
tried this way and use eregi_replace() to find where are the identifiers,
replace them by new value. But sometimes, I get errors where the new line
characters are suppressed between two users identifiers or where an
identifier is repeated like this :
loginx:passx\r\n
loginx:passx\r\n
loginn:passnloginn1:passn1\r\n
loginn2:passn2\r\n
Here is my code :
I know in "deleting" case, the eregi_replace pattern is so that the new line
characters will not be removed, but this is not a problem
I'll try to use file() function and array_keys() and let you know.
Thanks

[PHP] Paypal IPN and PHP
HI All, I am putting together an site and will accept payments via Paypal's IPN. I have came across many classes for this so I am curious if anyone has any recommendations? Does anyone know if the IPN framework has changed since 2003 as it seems that the latest information I have on it is from 2003. I have looked around the Paypal site and it does not indicate when or if any changes have been made. I mainly need to know so if I use a 3rd pty class I will not have to pull my hair out.

for($i = 0; $i < $j; $j++ ) {
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result, $i);
echo $field->name;

Hi, You can look at my script.

[PHP] Invoices
HI All, What do you all use for keeping track of invoices? I looked at a few open source projects (including http://billing-software.us/) and it seems that there is not really a good Open Source Project out there for invoices. Am I wrong? What would be nice is a project with a good API that would allow other projects to use its invoice handling capabilities. It would be nice if it weren't designed for one specific situation. Have I missed the boat here? Is there a nice OS Invoice program that will do all this? Has anyone considered starting one?

[PHP] Mail function problems
Hi all, Has anyone had this problem before? I have a web server that resides on a windows platform (According to phpinfo()). I used the php mail function to send out a test message to make sure that the mail function would work when needed. I sent out the test message and I didn't get an email sent to me. This is what I did, I created the following variables: $to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $subject ="Test"; $message ="This is a test" $headers = "From: Paul " . "<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Sender: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; $headers .="X-Mailer: PHP\r\n"; $headers .="Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\r\n"; I put them in the mail function as parameters mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers). Ok now this is what is found in phpinfo(): sendmail_from no value no value sendmail_path no value no value SMTP no value no value smtp_port25 25 Do these values need to be set? if so, how do that on a remote server? I don't think I have access to the httpd config file or php.ini file. Thanks Paul -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] array_search function bugged?
The following code does not produce the correct results (for my
purposes):
function code($str, $match, $formula)
{
for($i = 0; $i < count($str); $i++)
{
$formula[$i] = array_search($str[$i], $str);// <<==|| no bueno
//print $formula[$i]; not right
if($formula[$i] < $i)
{$str[$i] = '';}
}
//print''; //- etc (lots more code)--->
The code takes a string of ascii letters forming a word and is supposed
to create a list of indexes
in the proper sequence for reconstructing the word. The object of the
code in context is to take
any word and create an array of unique letters with no repeats so that
gd can be used to produce
images of each letter. The letters are then reassembled in the browser
to form the word. The
$formula above is supposed to tell the browser in what sequence to
display each letter, including
using the same letter image in repeat locations. For this it fails
miserably.
These are the results of test steps:
dissatisfaction (the test word)
Processed input string: dissatisfaction (code output at key step to
verify)
at creation of formula: 012245128410511314 (formula sampled at ' no
bueno' line in code)
from browser source array: 012245128410511314 (formula pasted from
browser javascript source)
The letter images spell out:
disstfisntidfiiait which is in accordance with the formula as far as I
can tell.
Is this a bug or am I misusing this function?
server platform: FreeBSD v6.0
Apache version: 1.3.34
php version: 5.1.2
There is one other weakness I've discovered, if arrays are created in
one code sequence and are called
to print in loops more than once or processed in different code
sections. The second time the same array
is called it has significantly degraded, loosing values from index
positions.
the seems to be no bug report accommodation in the php.net site so I'm
posting here.
Thanks in advance,
JK
