[PHP] Call another program from withing a program
I need to know if I am doing this the right way or if there is a better way
to do this.
Scenario, two programs. program_1.php and program_2.php. Based on case
statement, program_1 could possibly call program 2.
Example:
switch ($page) {
case '1':
break;
case '2':
do_some_stuff();
break;
}
The only way I could get that to work was to do a require/include or
redirect. Example:
Exmaple 1:
switch ($page) {
case '1':
require "program_1.php";
exit;
break;
}
Example 2:
switch ($page) {
case '1':
print "";
exit;
break;
}
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks
Kevin

[PHP] mysql_query maximum size
Hi there, Just wondering if there is a maximum size to the sql that can be passed as a mysql_query, either from mysql itself or from the php side of things?

[PHP] Spawning a background process
Allo, Basically, my question is.. how do I do this? I am actually (for various .. and probably stupid... reasons) trying to spawn a php process to run in the background.

[PHP] Cookies and Sessions
Allo, I seem to have run into a couple of problems with a project I am currently working on. First one is that the project has a login feature that tracks the user using cookies. The client alas has a desire to have multiple sites and have the login to other sites in his group seamless (in as much as he would like no additional logging in). Since the login feature uses cookies this requirement isn't quite fulfilled... ok, let me be honest, it ain't filled one little bit! The one thing I do have in my favour is that all the sites (at the moment anyway) have the same SERVER_ADDR. Is there anyway I can set a cookie using and IP Address rather than a URL. I have tried this with little success (setting the path to ""). As a side note, I would like to be able to use sessions more but I am running into some (very) peculiarities. I have a library which starts the session and then I regester variables till my heart is content. Trouble comes when I want to view them in another page... nada! If I do a 'session_is_registered' on the variable it returns true so it seems to have the sessions set up just not updating the values.. not sure. Now I can set up small two file proof of practice examples but when I integrate into my existing project code I suffer from all manner of wierdness .. the most notable being the complete lack of persistence. I know it is a bit of a shot in the dark in as much as I have provided little in the way of diagnostic information, but would any of you bright bunnies be able to give me some pointers as to what I might want to look into to get more of a clue as to what is going on?

[PHP] ImageFill Segmentation Fault
Allo, I am trying to do a dynamic image as a welcome type thing for a site using the GD libraries. I was working on a development machine with 4.0.6 and GIF support and things worked fine. When I (finally) was able to check out the live machine it was 4.0.6 but no GIF support. Ok , I think no problem.. I got PNG. So I converted the image to PNG and rejig the code but it doesn't work now. I am getting a segmentation fault from imagefill when I try to use an image resource created using ImageCreateFromPNG.

RE: [PHP] HTML Table display based upon field contents
Hi Robb, I am a newbie so I wanted to ask a stupid question.

I've tried several approaches and need to know what you recommend. I've created three totally different tables and put the HTML code for each into a database. Then I used PHP to insert the relevant code into the page depending upon the contents of a field in a different database. Result - the appropriate code is inserted properly into the HTML. Problem - the HTML table I'm trying to insert contains PHP code which is not executed after being inserted. Because sometimes the HTML table needs 4 rows and other times only 2, I tried enclosing the appropriate s in a PHP IF statement (see below). Problem - PHP IF wasn't executed, both s embedded appeared on page anyway. And, sometimes, the relevant s will include PHP code so this embedding technique won't work. Should I simply describe the entire relevant s on one line, appropriately escape them, assign the to a variable and then use an ECHO to put them on the page?

RE: [PHP] Variable just not Behaving Itself.
Hey,
I was looking at your code and should that not be an If - ElseIf - Else
structure? The way I read this is it first checks to see if the var is set
to 'Permanent' and sets $UserStatus. Then regardless of the previous test it
does another test on the $Emp_Status_Rqmt to see if it is 'Contactor' and if
not it then sets the $UserStatus to 'Flexible'. So if someone is Permanent
this would still end up setting the $UserStatus to 'Flexible'. This might be
the root of your problem.
Excuse me if I have misread the code. :-(
HTH

-Original Message-

...
$Emp_Status_Rqmt=$row["Emp_Status_Rqmt"];

if( $Emp_Status_Rqmt == 'Permanent' )

if( $Emp_Status_Rqmt == 'Contractor' )
{
$UserStatus = 'Contractor';
}
else
{
$UserStatus == 'Flexible';

which echoes OK until I change the value to something other than Permanent
or Contractor. It simple echoes resource ID #n

All the recipes can be stored in a MySQL database, and then you can use a simple couple of queries to produce the recipe list and the recipe pages dynamically. This also has the advantage that it's very easy to search the recipe list when it becomes larger, and if you ever want to change the layout/presentation of the whole system you won't have to recreate all the recipe pages. The DB could have several columns labelled: id, name, ingredients, method So, the form page (lets assume it's called add.php) could submit to itself which then adds the recipe to the DB with a query like: INSERT INTO recipes(name, ingredients, method) VALUES($name, $ingredients, $method) This is only a very simple example which could be extended to use another table for ingredients for a recipe. Don't forget to sanitise any input coming from the form with mysql_real_escape_string() for inserting it into the DB. The list.php page could just use a simple query like: SELECT id, name FROM recipes And then create a link to each recipe in the form: recipe.php?recipe=id (where id is the numerical value used in the DB) and that would then use a query like: SELECT * FROM recipe WHERE id=$recipe MySQL is available on most hosting that you'll find has support for PHP, and every Linux distribution I've seen has it too.

Aye.. it's nearest day, and according to calculations should have repeatable results. So what is date X today should also be it tomorrow (after the calculations of course).

Well it's relevant to make a baseline so that I can calculate the difference
from then until now. That's the only reason thusfar.

A year consists of 769 days, 13 months of 63 days a month, except for month
13 which has 14 days. Every month has 7 weeks of 9 days, of course month 13
is the exception. A day is 24 hours.

WEll I don't understand why an end date is important or what is meant with

blond", so I made it so that when I am dumb or anything, I'm blond (which in
fact I am - dark blond) :-P.

I don't know much about JavaScript or VBScript, but I believe there is an action called "OnKeyPress" or something to that effect. If that's there, writing a function that accepts the key pressed and replace it with another character, while the original pressed character is stored in a shadow array?

[PHP] OT - Help creating Tables
Hi, I am working on a program for a clothing manufacture and need some help designing the tables for the database. I have to track the inventory levels of each style by color and size and can not figure the tables out. Here is the information I need to track. Style number Color Size (can have from 1 to 10 different sizes) Also need to track the transactions. Receipt Number for incoming inventory and Invoice number for outgoing. Can anyone help me figure out how to setup the tables? Once that is done, I think I can get the rest working. Thanks!!! Kevin

Re: [PHP] Object-oriented $_REQUEST?

I feel that a 'request' class wouldn't be appropriate for the $_REQUEST
array. The reason being, is that there isn't to that class other than
the $_REQUEST array, and a bunch of 'get' methods. If this were to be
expanded upon by adding filtering user input, then it *could* be more
useful. IMO an entire class just to handle retrieving data an array (or
4 if you include GPC and request) would become unnecessary overhead.
But then again, maybe I am missing the point of this 'request' class.

[PHP] Template Problems
Hi, I have 3 domains: www.example1.com, www.example2.com www.template.com I have a PHP website on www.template.com with a database. in this database I have many tables one of which is sites, which has a list of the sites using the template with a site_id. Example of this data is: Site_id, URL, Name 1 www.example1.comExample 1 2 www.example2.comExample 2 All of the other tables have the site_id in to relate to what site should be shown what information. However I can't have the user seeing the url as "www.template.com" instead it needs to say what they typed in for example "www.example1.com" I need to somehow redirect the user from "www.example1.com" (but mask the url) to "www.template.com" with the correct site_id passed through for every single page they visit (which says what data the template should load) which I would manually set in example1.com, this would then allow the user to browse the site and goto the next one when they want.

[PHP] PHP Template Trouble
Hi, I am trying to have 1 template site and have an unlimited number of websites using this template site to call there own information. The sites are exactly the same except for the database, each of the sites also needs there own URL, for example one of these urls may be www.example1.com and the other www.example2.com. These sites are identical apart from the database they call to, one will call to a database called example1 and the other example2.

Re: [PHP] PHP Template Trouble
Hi, Yes there was an error, I never meant to post 3 times it backlogged in the system and my bulk detector picked up the email from php.net asking me to register my email so sorry about that. I am actually using Windows IIS, there is a IISRewrite which does the same as mod_rewrite, however the problem I had using that is you can only change the bit after www.example.com so for example if i had www.example.com?cat_id=5 i could rewrite that to www.example.com/games/ however I didn't find a way of rewriting the entire URL to make it look like a different site, if that is possible however I'll look further into it but at the time being I have found no way. Thanks Frank Arensmeier wrote: Kevin, there is no need to post the same question three times to this list. Your chances on getting helpful responses won't increase.

Re: [PHP] PHP Template Trouble
Brad, I cant thank you enough!!! This has been getting to me for weeks.
I simply moved the mapping of the URL's so that all the URL's point to
the same website, i could then use that http _host to pick them up and
then i've basically used this to query the database and give me what I
want. It was so simple in the end but I never even thought about doing
it this way, i knew there would be an easy solution though.
It works perfectly, finally i can get some sleep.. now just got to get
around to fixing all the installation!
Well, I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but this should work.
config.php does not need to be dynamic in this scenario.
1. Copy index.php and config.php into each site's directory.
2. Change the $db_name variable in config.php to use the correct database.
".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."";
print "This site is using the database name \"{$db_name}\"";
print "";
?>
If you can't get it to work using this method, I give up :P
Cheers ;)

Then you end up with one copy of the files and how ever many sites you
need.
No frames, no duplicated code.
It's been a long time (5+ years) since I worked with Windows/IIS, sorry
I
don't have more specific instructions on how to do the above.
Hope that's enough to get you started in the right direction.

Hi Brad,
That sounds like a good idea however:
Where would config.php go? If it goes on the www.solution.com side of
things, then $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] will always be www.solution.com and if
it goes on another then it would be www.example1.com.
What you have put would be the kind of solution I am looking for but
its
the $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] variable that would need to be posted through
correctly, even if using frames on www.example1.com (using them to load
www.solution.com) $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] would still equal
www.example1.com
Thanks

You may try to use COM to convert MS Office files to HTML, something like
$doc = new COM('somewordfile.doc');
$doc->saveAs('somewordfile.html', 10);
$doc->close();
Hi Thanks for that, the com library seems the way to do it, just a bit
unsure what I would need to do, I take it I would need to install the
office suite on the server, would I also need to install all converters
on the server too? for example would i need to install the adobe acrobat
printer, so that I can call the print function and print it to that
printer, then move the output file to where i want??!
Could you provide just one example of how to open a word doc, print it
to a printer (say an adobe printer) and move it to a folder on the system?!
What security holes would this leave open and is there any other
information regarding security I could up on?

[PHP] Read Through PHP Files
Hi, I am using the function fopen to open a word document, loading the contents into a variable and then using a substr_count to count the number of times a certain string is found, this is allowing me to search through the file and say how many times the word appears, I can even use str_replace to highlight certain words. However Microsoft word seems to put a lot of rubbish in the header and footer, I am wondering is it possible to filter this rubbish out to get the exact document. I also tried using fopen to open a PDF file, but as PDF is handled differently it came up completely different with no words at all, just full of rubbish. Is there anyway I can get this information using a simple fopen? I am basically trying to create a search engine which can read within files similar to google. The only problem I would have after I have done all this is actually weighting the search results, however I would probably have to create the results first and then finally go through the results to try to weight them.

Yeah there's a good reason for that. You're not ending yoiur PHP tag! :-P
Joking aside you're on the right track. This IS the way to do it. You
should never rely on the browsers cache to re-input form values in a

[PHP] Re: How do I include specific files?
Hi Roddie,
The require or include functions will do this for you, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
Paths are absolute to the file system, not where the web server path starts,
eg suppose your file is at
/usr/home/www/riddie/phpscripts/somedir/script.php
you would include a file (into script.php) from the phpscripts directory
using either
require('/usr/home/www/riddie/phpscripts/myincfile.php')
or
require('../myincfile.php')
but
require('/phpscripts/myincfile.php') would not work as php does not work
from paths set by the webserver.

[PHP] PHP adding slash to MySql results
Hi, I have just noticed a problem reading MySql data with PHP running as an apache module. Basically, any data retrieved from MySql that contains a single quote (and no doubt other characters too) is displayed with a slash in it when printed by PHP. For example: $surname = "O'Brien"; print "$surname"; displays - O'Brien - while $surname=mysql_result($result,0,"surname"); print "$surname"; displays - O\'Brien - even thought doing a select from the shell shows that is stored in mysql without the slash My ISP reciently upgraded from 4.12 to 4.2.2 and i wonder if this has anything to do with this, as these scripts did not ass slashes in print outputs before and have not been changed. I'm sure this is some PHP configuration thing, but magic quotes are off, and in any case I assumed this applied to incoming data only? What do I need to change and can I do this within a .htaccess file so it can easily be applied to all my scripts without changing them?

[PHP] JSRS/PHP Calendar Script
I'm looking for additional tutorials/examples for building an events calendar service using JSRS (Javascript Remote Scripting) and PHP/MySQL. But ideally I'd rather use a pre-made script if one exists. I have several other projects that I need to complete and I'd rather not get side-tracked. So if someone has already developed such a script I'd be very interested. Much thanks, Kevin Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] php4 / sessions
Hi,
I'm trying to get a session variable to work. Here's the code at the start
of my script:
session_name('CLIENTFILTER');
session_start();
session_register( 'client_filter' );
As I understand it, the variable $client_filter should now be available to
me? But I can't see it with either just $client_filter or even
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['client_filter'].
It's definitely setting a cookie in the browser, but it doesn't seem to be
picking up the variable on subsequent pages.
I'm on PHP 4.0.6 with register_globals turned on. (Apache on Solaris)
Any help greatly appreciated
TIA,
- Kev

Re: [PHP] php4 / sessions
The variable must exist before you can register it in the session..
$client_filter = 'filter';
session_register('client_filter');
..or simply..
$_SESSION['client_filter'] = 'filter';

Fw: [PHP] Question about "if" statement evaluating (0=="string") as TRUE
When you define $no, you define it without quotes, so PHP assumes it is a
numeral. What you're asking in your conditional statement is: Does the
numeral 0 equal the integer evaluation of "string". The answer is True.
But when you put $no into quotes you cast it as a string. Now what you're
asking is Does the string "0" equal the string "string". The answer is
False.

Re: [PHP] Difference between 2 Dates
Again the solution is to convert the dates into timestamps for easy
comparison. In your case you can use the strtotime() function. I believe
that -mm-dd is a standard date format that the function will recognize,
is it not?
$ts1 = strtotime($date1);
$ts2 = strtotime($date2);
if ($ts1 > $ts2)
{
// .. blah blah blah.
}

[PHP] PHP Auto-Responder
I need a solution to activate a PHP script when somebody sends an email to a specified account. I've looked into procmail and sork and find that I am in way over my head. I know my way around PHP well enough but I'm more than a little dense when it comes to Unix commands. I wouldn't even know how to install procmail, let alone use it. So is there a more "Plug n' Play" solution that I can unzip, upload to my FTP account, modify a few variables, and just have it work? Perhaps through sendmail which is already installed on the server? Surely the problem is universial enough that somebody has come up with a solution. I appreciate any help tracking it down. -Kevin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] old getenv?
The only way to get at HTTP_REFERER is either through getenv(),
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS, or $_SERVER. There is no other way around it. But since
the methods are universial there shouldn't be any harm in just using the
Find/Replace command in your editor.
I found one (rather odd) reference that suggested getenv() may not return
certain values if Register Globals is turned on, but I do not believe it is
true.

[PHP] Displaying first 20 characters of a comment
Hi. I am trying to find out what the best way is to display only the first 20 or so characters of a comment. The comments which are entered separately by users are stored in a MySql database. I am displaying a list of the last 5 entries on the home page and then linking them to the relevant comments and details. However the comments are to long so I want to display only the first portion, kind of like a intro for users to get an idea and then read further. I am not sure if it is best to do it with the select statement or format it with the PHP.

Re: [PHP] PHP complied code
Actually all PHP4 code is compiled before it is executed. What the author of that book suggests is pre-compiling a script. The difference between a standard script and a pre-compiled script is the time it takes to parse the code. You might pre-compile scripts that are going to see heavy use on your server. Or you might pre-compile a very large script to avoid the inherent latency in the interpretor as an optimization step. The only encoder I know of is Zend Encoder ($2400) at www.zend.com. Here's the deal though. If you don't know that you need to pre-compile then chances are you don't have to. The benefits to the casual programmer are negligable. -Kevin - Original Message - From: "Manuel Ochoa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 1:46 PM Subject: [PHP] PHP complied code > > I recently read a book on PHP and the author breifly said that if you compile the PHP code it would improve the performance. > > Is there a way to compile the code? > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Session Question
In most cases, Yes. Calling session_start() for the first time sets a cookie on the client's computer containing the session id. At the same time the function creates a matching session file on the server. You register whatever variables you want to this file so that when you call session_start() on another page it looks for the cookie, retrieves the session id, and makes the associated variables in the file available to your script. I suggest you read the manual. It's all there... http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php -Kevin - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 03, 2003 11:10 AM Subject: [PHP] Session Question > > Does php use cookies for sessions even if you don't explicitly use cookie > functions to save session data server side? > > TIA, > > Ed > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Variables that persist through reload?
That's just the browser's cache, nothing to do with PHP. Not all browsers
will cache succesfully. If you want to guarentee that variables will be
stored for later retrieval (or for repopulating a form) then you need to
use sessions or store the content of the variables in a database.

Okay let me take another hack at one of your questions and maybe I won't
screw up this time. ;-)
PHP has no functional control over the HTML content. You could make it
easier on yourself by writing a function that outputs 'selected' or null
instead of coding a separate conditional for each form element, but other
than that this is the only way to do it.
