RE: [PHP] session problem using headers

you're passing the PHPSESSID incorrectly, it seems you must do something like this: or header("Location: nextpage.php?$SID"); what you're doing now will go to page "input.php?=SID" instead of "input.php?938sa9fa98f7daf987a9s" (or similar) > -Original Message- > From: David Allen [

RE: [PHP] Re: How to convert a string into a mathematical expression?

be *extremely* careful. eval() is like spawning another PHP interpreter... it'll execute *any* code that you give it. people could type in unlink(); and such commands and really trash your webserver. > -Original Message- > From: Philip Hallstrom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Subject: [PH

RE: [PHP] forms and IP numbers

no offense, but that's a bad kludge for the problem. however, if you really want to do that, you could try checking $SERVER_NAME and $HTTP_REFERER and other enviornment variables like that... what would be easier (and better practise) to do is to verify that the incoming username is valid...

RE: [PHP] Re: How to maintain a variable between PHP pages (sessions?).

sessions or cookies is the way you probably want to go. you could pass the variable around to each and every form, but that is a pain in the ass, and extremely prone to errors. on the first page, where you check the user's ability to use attachments, you could simply set a cookie setcookie('co

RE: [PHP] The need for strong typing...

you could easily write yourself a typing function to take care of all that (as someone suggested previously) using the same familiar syntax as you want to use in the function definition. function pay($fromaccount, $toaccount, $amount, $memo) { $good = checkInput($fromaccount, "int", $toaccount

RE: [PHP] Strong typing?

and as far as i know, perl's 'strict mode' has absolutely nothing to do with typing of variables... use strict; will force you to define all variables with "my $var;" or "local $var;" before you assign values to them or try and use them... but it doesnt do anything about enforcing typing... in

Here is my code to turn a directory full of *files* into thumbnail images. im sure you can adapt it to your own needs... the code is a bit long-winded, but it was my first attempt at writing thumbnail code, so forgive me ;) // example call to the function make_thumbs('./pictures/cavern/', './

the RPM is a binary. if mysql support is not in the RPM, there's no way to add it if you want to install PHP the simplest way, get the sources and compile it yourself as a stanalone binary (NOT using --with-apache or --with-apxs) then you can tweak it however you want, and compile in suppor
