PHP :: Browser/OS Info

Putting Info Into A DB / Passing Info Between Pages
I have run into an issue...I have posted previously, but my scenario has changed.

Here is the situation...

If a user clicks on a link ('abc123' for example) I want to insert into my database some predefined information about 'abc123' - I have assigned a value that is echoed in future pages for 'abc123'.

So, what I need is some mechanism to, when a user clicks 'abc123', have a pre-defined username and password be entered into the database. I need this so future pages can utilize the session values.

How To Get Header Info
I've been trying to extract the status codes from http header information to find whether a page is 200 ok or 404 not found by using an fsock() connection which works.

Info From MySql DB
Problem : I have a table in mysql with titles as such :

ShipIDNameMcostCcostBuildETA(there are more)

I run the query :

for($i=1;$i<=9;$i++){
$query = "select Name, Mcost, Ccost, BuildETA from ships where ShipID=$i";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die("Query failed");

I want to refer to "Name", "Mcost", "Ccost" and "BuildETA" so i can use them to build a table. So i need to assign them to variables in an array so i can loop to make a table with as many rows as there are "ShipID"'s. The thing is that all the ways i have tried of refering to individual column names have failed.

PEAR/Info.php
I tried to use Example 49-1. Using PEAR_Info

This is not showing PEAR installation information on local/remote server.
What I see local, I've no file Info.php in package PEAR in PEAR directory.

My Web host say, they've installed PEAR, and I can use PEAR.

Getting Info Into A Object..
I'm sitting and trying to understand this OOP - and need to create a
class wich can do the following..

ShowBlocks() - Displays the data wich is inside it - If empty creates a form
wich sends the info back to the Object, wich show the stuff..
AddBlock( $type ) - Creates an empty blok - wich is addet to a blocks area
object...( Or somethin like it )
Store() - safes the info into a file, and updates mySQL...

I have figured out most of the stuff but the way to get the empty block ->
creating form with some different strings/textbloks and a file -> putting
stuff into object -> now showing what its looks like and aking if i want to
add a extra block....... now showing x blocks then asking if i want an extra
block - i haven´t got a clue of how to do it !

Does anyone of you have an example with an object thats goes : See im a
empty object -> here you can put an line into me -> see im not empty now (
showing the string) do you want to add an extra line ? - ect ect..

Help Need Php Security Info
I need to put on a demo of a php security flaw and how to fix it. Can anyone
point me in the direction of a good doc and fix example ...

Getting Caller Id Info
I am developing an application where I need to read the caller id
from an incoming call. The only info (for now) I need is the caller id
info, so that I can display the propper caller info on screen if so
desired.
I was thinking on using asterisk (asterisk.org) for this with
appropriate 2FXO/2FXS card but I do not know if this is just overkill
(asterisk for this). Do you know of any other solution/way of getting
the caller id and passing it to PHP?.

Getting Info From A Website.
I have been doing PHP for over a year now but when I came round to
writing a script I discovered that there was a reasonably sizeable gap
in my knowledge that I didn't even know where to start finding out
about. Anyway this is a reasonably nooby question:

If I have a script on http://url-a.com/script.php and I want to get
some dynamic information of my friend's site at
http://url-b.com/info.php , How can I get it? I need to use get
variables in getting it and it must also be server side.

Drawing Info From D/b
I'm trying to get sum info from my database, but its only returning the first record, and not any after that Heres my code: PHP Code:

Php Form Info...
have a form, with a text input "fieldname".
method POST

$var = $_POST["fieldname"]

$var is then used to search in mysql

select * from table where jobtype like '$var%'
OR jobtype like '%$var%'
OR jobtype like '%$var'
OR jobtype like '$var' order by date asc;

basically i'm doing a search for any string that matches the searched
input, being at the beginning, middle or end of the jobtype column.

query works great, except when the string contains the 4-letter word
'info' such as information or informative
then the mysql query breaks down and give the usual:

Error performing query: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'ORDER BY date ASC' at line 1

Now after much debugging, i found out that the php _POST variable
treats anything with info as a numner of 0 value.
inf is treated as text, nformation is treated as text, but anything
with info gets a 0 value.

Searched php.net and couldn't find anything related to this feature,
looked under security to see if it was related to that, but nothing.

User Info
How can i be able to show a users profile after they have logged in of course? But i dont want a user to edit another users profile. I am using sessions.

Verify Info Was Placed In Db...
Hey, i am having trouble finding out how i can verify that the data that i inserted into my db realy got there, and if it did to redirect me to another page. and if the data didn't get inserted to re-direct me to a diffrent page.

I'm Getting The Same Row Of Info Repeated
I need to access data from a database and repeat the display for how many rows there are...Well I figured out the whole repeat thing I just can't make it go to the next row when it outputs... Code:

Pulling Info
Here is what I I am trying to do.

select * from table where fname='fname' order by 'time_sent' desc <-- This works

what I am trying to do is:
select * from table where fname='fname' and opened='y' and opened='n' and opened='r' order by 'time_sent' desc <-- This doesn't work :(

the entries in opened are

y, n, r, a

I only want it to pull y,n,r and list them where fname='$fname' only

I tried googling for a solution with very little luck. Anybody have any ideas how I can accomplish this?

This is a contact us script that sends an e-mail to me with the the three fields i made e-mail,name and message. The script is supposed to bring the user to a thankyou page after submitting. but for some reason i get this error cannot add header info headers already sent. here is the PHP code:

Getting Table Meta Info
I can query a table in a MySQL database for meta info using

SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'images'

That gives me a single row result of info (Name, Type, Row_format, Rows,
Avg_row_length, etc. But how do get one field from that record in PHP?
Here's what I have so far:

$sqlstatement = 'SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'images''

$result = mysql_query($sqlstatement) or die("Query failed : " .
mysql_error());

I don't know how to reference a field from $result.

Editing Info In A File
I am using a tab delimited file to provide information for a page to be displayed. I have used fgetcsv() to get information from the file, and it returns an array of information. I was wondering if there is a way I could change information in the file. For example lets say that $content[2] = "This" how could I change it so that, $content[2] = "That". I know how to change the variable to a different value, but I haven't figured out how to change the actual file.

Photogallery/ Getting Info From Directory.
I am trying to create a photogallery on my website. I have pictures files in one directory, with lots of different names.

The thing is, I want to 'know' all these file names and put them in an array/string. I don't have a clue though how I should retrieve all those file-names that are in that certain directory $dir.

I have been browsing through the filesystem helpfiles on php, but I could not find one function that does this. Did I overlook this function, and if, what function should I use OR should I write my own function, and how would you recommend I would do that?

Info In URL (Short Question)
Sometimes on a website you see a url

Info On OOP Error Systems
This is a general computer question, but I'm writing in PHP so I'll
post this to comp.lang.php.

I've been writing a content management system. I've a Singleton object
that keeps track of all errors and stores them in an array. As things
work right now, I write out each error message individually. I'm
thinking that as the code grows, this system will not continue to
scale. Right now my software consists of 1.4 megs of PHP code. I don't
know how many error messages there are, but a reasonable guess is 1800
(I've 900 functions and classes in 900 files, and I'm guessing two
error messages in each, on average). You can see an example of what I
mean below, setFilterObject is a fairly standard class method, with 3
possible error messages when things go wrong. As you can see, I've
written out each error message in English.

There are a number of problems with this. One is that at some point I'd
like to internationalize the software, which I assume means making it
easy to rewrite the error messages in other languages. Therefore, I
assume I'm making a mistake by hard-coding them as English. The other
problem is that it takes a lot of time to write out these error
messages, and the error messages constitute a growing percent of the
code.

I know that as software project grow some system is usually put in
place to regulate error messages. Can anyone point me to tutorials or
books that have good info on this?

function setFilterObject($filterObjectName=false) {
$imported = $this->controllerForAll->import("IntfFilter",
"ExteriorFilter");
if ($imported) {
if ($filterObjectName) {
$filterObjectName = ucfirst($filterObjectName);
$filterObjectName = "Filter".$filterObjectName;
$this->filterObjectName = $filterObjectName;
$this->filterObject = &
$this->controllerForAll->getObject($filterObjectName,
"ExteriorFetch");
if (is_object($this->filterObject)) {
return true;
} else {
$this->resultsObject->error("In the command setFilterObject(), in
ExteriorFilter, we expected to get an object called
'$filterObjectName', but we could not find it.", "ExteriorFilter");
}
} else {
$this->resultsObject->error("In the command setFilterObject(), in
ExteriorFilter, we expected to be told the name of a filter object we
should look for, but we were given an empty string.", "ExteriorFetch");

}
} else {
$this->resultsObject->error("In setFilterObject(), in
ExteriorFilter, we tried to import the interface IntfFilter, but we
were unable to.", "ExteriorFilter");
}
}

Where Do They Go? How Can I Gather Click Info In PHP
I was wondering if it is possible to find out what people click on, using
PHP.

For example, I have a PHP page with an email link and some third party links
(e.g. www.someone-else.com). I want to know where people go.

My own solution would be to make the link not to an email or a third-party
website, but to another page along the lines of

<?php
//check out where it came from and where it is going
//write info to database
header = {where it should be going}

?>

I am not sure if you can do this with email, but I am also wondering if
there is an easier/smarter way to do this.

Host Info Script?
Is there a script that can tell you about your web server example proccesing power memory how many people on server.

PHP, MySQL And Snippets Of Info ...
I'm looking at storing snippets of details in MySQL about what credit cards
a business excepts. Rather than have a whole column for Visa, another for
Amex etc ... I am looking at having a column called payment types and
inserting multiple codes ... e.g. ViAmBcCa

Is this a good way of doing things? To me it'd be a lot cleaner and limit
amount of Db work to be done. Is this a sensible way in your opinion? What's
the best way of getting the info back out via PHP? Put in a delimiter e.g.
Vi-Am-Bc-Ca- or keep codes to two digits and split by that length?
