PHP :: Calling For Data To Be Displayed Using The URL

Everything After ' Character Is Not Displayed
I have been getting strange behaviour when using ' in by textboxes.

eg inputting the following
this is some test text ' and so is this

is saved to the mysql database ok as

this is some test text /' and so is this (with add slashes)
or
this is some test text ' and so is this (without add slashes)

mysql field is VARCHAR(255)

but when I retreive the data and display in textboxes on my web page, text
area type (below) is ok
<textarea class='BodyText' style='WIDTH: 85%' name="textarea"><?php echo
$opta; ?></textarea>

but input type (below) cuts everything off after the ' character. However
this does not happen with other characters such as " or /
<input type='text' class='BodyText' style='WIDTH: 85%' name='test'
value='<?php echo $opta; ?>'>

can anyone explain this behaviour and have a solution so that text with any
' characters in it is fully displayed?

No PHP Displayed In Browser?
I am new to setting up servers and am tring to set up a server to test my websites so I do not have to rent web space anymore.

I have Apache 2.0.55 running on my machine now. I used the windows install version because I do not know how to build it from the source. I have configured PHP 5.1.1 like the install files explained. the service starts without any errors that I can see.

My problem is when I try to test a simple PHP script I get nothing in my browser. The browser will display regular html though. If from a command prompt window I type php -i I get the list of settings I am suppost to see in my php script with phpinfo(); .

Can anyone tell me what I missed or something to try and help?

Image Cannot Be Displayed, Because It Contains Error ...
the script that show image is:

<?php
include('dbinfo.inc.php');

mysql_connect($localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query = "SELECT file,filesize,filetype FROM user WHERE id=1;";

header('Content-Type: '.$filetype);
header("Content-Disposition: attachement
");
print $file;
?>

i want the image directly so, i use this:

<?php
include('dbinfo.inc.php');

mysql_connect($localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query = "SELECT file,filesize,filetype FROM user WHERE id=1;";
$result=mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();

$file=mysql_result($result,0,"file");
$filesize=mysql_result($result,0,"filesize");
$filetype=mysql_result($result,0,"filetype");

header('Content-Type: '.$filetype);
print $file;
?>

Load Time Displayed Question
I was looking at a couple of pages yesterday that were coded in PHP, and at the bottom was a "Page loaded in ______" blurb at the bottom. Good example is at www.digitaljedi.com.

PHP Nuke 8: Security Code Not Being Displayed
I've got PHP Nuke 8 installed and running but I've run into one problem. First of all, everything installed fine without any errors. After Nuke was installed I added the following modules: Shout Box, Leaderboards, Gallery, and Sentinel. Prior to installing ANY modules with just PHP Nuke installed the Security Code was readily viewable on the login page (both for users login and admin login pages). Without remembering exactly when the security code image disappeared, all I can say is it's not viewable now.

PHP & Frames; Why Is The Full PHP Code Displayed In Frame?
Having completed a whole stack of PHP files, tested them (worked fine), I now have to let these pages be displayed in my client's website.
But said client has done his website in frames.

When I put in code like:

<frame name="main" src="myphpfile.php" >

what get's displayed in that frame is the full php code

Example: echo $name
instead of the actual name

so the browser is not sending the code to PHP first, it seems. How do I fix this?

I presume it's not a matter of, you can't have frames in a PHP/MySQL site.

Random Order Help Request - Prevent Previously Displayed Objects
I have a query that is showing new items in a store based upon their
inventory date. The problem with my Random order sort is that when the
"next" link is pressed, the random function is called again and I may see
the image previously displayed rather than go through the entire new
inventory.

WHERE (`Catalog`.thumbnail LIKE '%-04.%' or `Catalog`.thumbnail LIKE

PHP Pages Getting 404 Error, "Page Cannot Be Displayed"...
I tried putting this into the PHP Installation forum but don't get any answers or suggestions there so I'm going to try it here and hope it doesn't get moved.

I'm on a Windows 2003/PHP 5.22 setup. I'm TRYING to upgrade from PHP 5.02 which did work on my server and quite well. I followed the upgrading and installation instructions layed out on the PHP.net set -- I still can't get it to work.

The install dumped all the PHP related files under "c:program filesphp". I've ensured that path is in my windows PATH statement for my env vars. I've also verified that "c:program filesphpphp-cgi.exe" is in my Web Service Extensions listing in IIS and the status is set to "Allowed".

From the command-line, I can execute my "test.php" file that has the phpinfo(); info function in it and it works fine. It's only when I try to use my web browser to access the php file that I get the 404 error, "page cannot be displayed". I know that IIS in general is working ok because I can point it to the default http://servername/iisstart.htm and it resolves to that page just fine. It's only when I change it to http://servername/test.php (which has my phpinfo()) function in it when I get the 404 error.

My web server just doesn't seem to be interpretting PHP files anymore and I can't figure out why.

No PHP Error. Just "Page Cannot Be Displayed"
I was wondering if someone could explain why I'm receiving this error. It's
like a 404 error but I think it might be something else.

Basically, I have a page where a user inputs his email address. The system
is supposed to look up the email address and send the associated password to
that email address. It worked up until a few months ago. Note that the
validation works. So, if the user tries to submit a blank text box, it
returns an error. If the email address is not found, it returns an error
"Email not found." But if the email is valid, it just dies. This code
worked a few months ago when I initially wrote it....

Calling Url.
Is it possible, with php, to figure out what the "calling url" is ?

Let's say I have a track.html (with some php code) and if someone
clicks on a link to track.html I want to see the url where that visitor
came from.

Calling CVS In PHP
Howdy does have any PHP fuctions that allow me to run CVS?
Here's what I've tried so far:

Calling PHP Within PHP
I have a script that is on serveral sites. It changes constantly, so updating 10 sites is a hassle. What I wanted to know if there is a way to call PHP within PHP, using php itself, or javascript, etc. Simply because I'll place the file that is going to be called on a seperate location where all sites can call from it.

Can it be called in a .js file? Using <?php at start ?> at end? or is there a easier way?

Calling Perl From Php?
I have a site all in PHP, for login, auth, session management, etc. I have to interface it with a banks perl scripts to do credit card transactions. Their wrapper perl script expects a few arguments, including a hash with all the data.

Calling Cgi As SSI Inside PHP??
Hello, i wanted to know if it is possible to execute perl scripts from inside PHP-scripted pages...

i have tried adding php to the SSI section of my apache server config file... SSI will work fine once i do that... however that will prevent any of the PHP from functioning inside the page.

Is there any way i can go about having both execute, and work in the same file?

Currently the page has around 2 small PHP scripts, and a cgi poll with the SSI inserted in it. I have tried changing to a PHP include, but that only works for PHP produced files... can i include a cgi file from PHP in a different format, and have it execute?

Calling Functions
Could someone out there give me information on how to call a function from a click event? Is it possible to do in PHP or do I need to write it in javaScript? What I would like to do is click the next record button and have all of the fields in my form change to hold the data of the next record in the table.

Name Of The Calling Method

{
echo "Hi, the calling method is ...";
return true ;
}

MyFct();

Calling TCL Function From PHP 4.3
I'm just picking up PHP, and am really appreciating the transition, however,
I'm running into somewhat of a loggerhead. I'm trying to find a way to
utilize our existing code infrastructure (primarily written in TCL), while
providing an outlet for new technology (aka PHP). It seems that Tcl isn't
really well suited for integration with HTML pages (Rivet is fine, but not
as fleshed out as PHP seems to be). I was wondering if there is any
mechanism in which I can make embedded calls from PHP to TCL libraries? My
first priority would be for these processes to be somewhat embedded (ie:
avoid using a cgi-approach to invoke a new instance of Tcl each time the
particular page is requested via Apache).
