PHP :: Checking If A Multi-dim. Array Has Been "filled Out"

"Array To String Conversion" Error When Constructing A Multi-dimensional Array
I'm a bit stumped as I am getting a "Notice: Array to String
Conversion" error when trying to do something that on the surface
should be a very simple task - create an array, and write a set of
values to them based on data submitted from POST Fields.

Code below:

$_SESSION["increment"] = array();
$x = 0 // Counter - This will be
incremented

$_SESSION["increment"][$x] = array("increment_bond" =>
$_POST["increment_bond"],
"increment_amount" = $_POST["increment_amount"],
"increment_comm_date1" = $_POST["increment_comm_date1"],
"increment_comm_date2" =$_POST["increment_comm_date2"],
"increment_comm_date3" = $_POST["increment_comm_date3"]);

It keeps throwing out that error, and does not write any of the POST
Values to the array (the POST values are definitely getting sent, so
that is not the problem).

If I dump out the value of $_SESSION["increment"], I get "1A" ?!?

I'm sure that there is a pretty simple mistake lurking somewhere - I
just can't seem to figure it out.

Checking An Array And "splitting It Up"
I'm trying to create an image upload class and got into a little array problem. (File is attached to post. Sorry for the Icelandic) I pass the $_FILES['someuploadfiles'] to $this->uploadskrar and then in skoda() I cycle through the array and the if/else sentence is to filter out the bad apples, the images that don't f meet the standards set,

$this->ilagi_myndir is for pictures that meet the standards and $this->nilagi_myndir is for pictures that don't meet them. Those 2 arrays are are suppose to have the same structure as $this->uploadskrar and i'm not figuring out how.

Error In Page When Checking Http_get_vars("myvar") And "myvar" Was Not Passed In URL String
PHP, coming from ASP coding

if (HTTP_GET_VARS['b']==1){
print "Yes";
}else{
print "No";
}

when "b" is not passed via
(http://www.mydomain.com?b=1

an error occurs and the "NO" is printed but an error is printed too.

How can I check for the value of "b" so that no error occurs if b is
not passed??

example

http=www.mydomain.com

$myvar=HTTP_GET_VARS['b']

causes an error because
"b" does not exist (ie. its not passed in the URL string.

$myvar maybe evaluated as NULL or Empty but the error is printed in
the page, anyway.

Failed To Connect To Mailserver At "localhost" Port 25, Verify Your "SMTP" And "smtp_port" Setting In Php.ini
Warning: mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25,
verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini

in php.ini I have:

SMTP = localhost
SMTP_PORT = 25
SENDMAIL_FROM = NULL
SENDMAIL_PATH = "H:WINNTsystem32" (this is where sendmail.dll is
sitting. H is the drive with w2k)

Other PHP code on that page is working.

What else should I check?

Sticking "if" Or Changes Within A MySQL "where" Array?
I'm not exactly sure how to even ask the question, and I know my terminology
is not good as I'm a SQL beginner, but, here goes.

I need to find a way to make an if statement within an array...or, the
"while" portion of a recordset.

The best way I can ask is show what I mean.
http://oscarguy.mechphisto.net/awardbrowse.php
If you go there and select an award (like Best Picture), leave the year
field alone, and select YES and submit, you'll see a lot of results. And I
have HR's dividing each entry.

What I need to do is group all the entries of the same year, or at least
only put HR's between the blocks of years.
So, I'd have all the entries for 2002, an HR, then all for 2001, an HR, etc.

Here at the bottom I'll include my PHP code I'm using so far.
But I have no idea where to even start looking for an answer...if it's even
possible.
If someone can just give me the name of the function or process or
technique, then I can go Web/book searching myself...I just need a direction
of where to go.

Domain Checking Problem : $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]
I'm trying to insert some html if the browser location is my top level domain (www.mydomain.com) only, and I have the following code which appears not to work :-(

Can anyone cast an eye over it?

How Do I Do Something Like $color = ("red", "yellow", "blue")[$colornum]?
How do I take an index of a literal array, instead of a variable?

That is, say I want to get the short name of a month. Can I do
something like:

$monthname = ("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug",
"Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")[$month];

or do I always have to do:

$blah = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug",
"Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
$monthname = $blah[$month];

It seems a shame to have to create a variable specifically for this
one-shot purpose.

Checking "last Updated" On Remote Files.
How do I check the last updated time on remote files. I'd like my end result to be, a function that takes a list of urls, check the lastupdated date on that file (i.e., home page of someone's blog), so I can then grab the ten most recently updated among them, and print them, in descending order of update date.

SQL "DISTINCT" And Multi-fields
I've spent a couple of hours trying to find some suitable walk-throughs on the net to do what I need to do and failed (I'm thinking "books are good, time for a trip to the library - the internet is overrated".

I want to do this:-

SELECT DISTINCT topic_id,poster_id,post_time FROM phpbb_posts WHERE forum_id IN (<some set>) ORDER BY post_time DESC limit 15;

To get the last 15 posts on a phpBB forum.

The problem is the DISTINCT statement works across all fields - so they'll probably all be unique anyway. I need the "uniqueness" (have to remember that one for next weeks word game) to be operative on the topic_id field only (first field).

An example of the problem is the query will return:-

1536 7813 1121535963 18
2048 3480 1121534535 1
2110 3932 1121530350 4
2110 761 1121518426 4
2048 9663 1121515337 1

Spot the two 2110's in the first column? That's where I need it to be unique and ignore the duplicate.

I'm guessing that "DISTINCT" is not the thing to use, but I can't find anything else.

Any help appreciated (and I suspect I'll be back later for help on the INNER JOIN when I've got this part working to get the username!).

Checking If $user & $pass = " "
if !( $user=="" || $pass=="");
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (id, sn, pw)
VALUES ( '$idhigh + 1', '$user', '$pass')");

It wont load up my page when I try to run it with this in my page, what am I doing wrong? It checks my text boxes to see if the user and pass equals a blank input when the person clicks on the submit button, and if it does, then it does nothing.

Preventing Visitors Ability To "re-visit" A Page Via The "back Button"..
I have a rather complex registration/member sign up form.. which gets a little confused, when a visitor "backs" completely out of the form, then for whatever reason returns to the form. The form contains 'cancel' buttons, which naturally cancel the reg process and redirects them to the document just before they started.

JS provides us with the "location.replace()" method, but I can't seem to find a way to coordinate the use of location.replace() with the posting of the form values. In short, I want to "replace" the first step of the form with the "second step".

I think what's making this tricky, is that each step of the form are located within the "same" page (register.php). The document works like so: The first step is the "Member Agreement" when they click "agree" (submit) the system creates a new row in the temporary register table of the db.

It then issues a registration cookie, which carries the row id, and session value. in addition (for those cookie impared users) we carry the row id and session value in hidden elements. So far, as long as the user continues through the process all is fine, but if they (for whatever reason) back all the way out, and click 'agree' again, the process fails.

I guess I have to find a way to force a reload of the 1st step "if they've gone back" OR "replace()" the first step with the second, so as to prevent the user from going "back" to the 1st step of the register page.

Errors Won't Show Up Even With Error_reporting(E_ALL) And Ini_set("display_errors","1")

If I take out the crap, it prints phpinfo() just fine.

Pagnation - Limit Number Of Pages Between "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlinks
Was hoping for some advice with a part of page navigation....

It works at the moment so there is a "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlink underneath the records. In between the Previous & Next links are the number of pages that there is of these records. e.g:

Previous 1234 Next

This is fine if there are only a few pages of records, but when there are hundreds of pages the numbers are listed and they take up half the web page with them.

How can i make it so only limited 10 numbers of pages say appear between the "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlink and as you progress through the pages they are as do the next 10 numbers of pages? Code:

[regex] Stripping Out "name" And "value" Values Out Of Tags, Aaargh
Searched through the site, but couldn't find the right regex syntax I was looking for.

the thing i want is, to extract with preg_match_all the given values in a tag...

ex.

$str = '<input type="text" name="name" value="value">'
$pattern = some magic stuff I need to know
preg_match_all($pattern, $str, $result);

And in result I want to have the values text, name and value AND it's important that the order doesn't matter
so structure of tags can be <input type =name= value=> or <input name= class= value= type=> etc, etc...

Group Mailing, Want To Suppress All The "to" Addresses In The "to:" Field

'Parse Error' Problem In "isset" And "empty"
I've been having some problems with a parse error that I can't figure
out (PHP 4.3.11 on Solaris9). Sample code:

<?php
// getting strange parse errors on this
class A {
var $value;
function A() {
$this->value = 1;
}

function getValue() {
return $this->value;
}
}

$a = new A();
if (!empty($a->getValue())) {
echo "success";
}
else {
echo "failure";
}
?>

The result of this is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(', expecting ')' in
/foo/public_html/parse_errors.php on line 15

I also get the same effect with "isset", however, testing with "is_null"
or "is_int" produces the correct ("success"/"failure") result. Any ideas?

Reading An Array Of Records From MYSQL Then "Save As" Them Back As Copy
Hi all,

Ok here is what I want to do then I will show you what I have. I have some records in a MySQL DB that I want to store in an array and then immediately copy them back where the only thing that would change would be one field - the date. So here is my table:
-------------------------------------
|userName | date | value |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200005 | 123 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200005 | 345 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200004 | 678 |
--------------------------------------
| joeUser | 199908 | 897 |
---------------------------------------

So if I am querying for the user "theDano" on a specific date (format yyyymm) in this case 200005 (year 2000 month of May)

Here is my array to query all records to fullfill this request:

if ($update=="future")
{
if ($month!="01")
{
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbuser");
if($db)
{
mysql_select_db("dbName",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE userName = '$userName' AND date = '$date' ORDER BY value DESC ",$db);
if ($result)
{
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
$i=0;
while($i < $num)
{
$userName = mysql_result($result,$i,"userName");
$value = mysql_result($result,$i,"value");
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width=Ê×'>" . $userName . "</td>";
echo "<td width=ï`'><div align='right'>" . $value . "</div></td>";
echo "</tr>";
++$i;
}
}
}
}
}

Now I want to take the array of records queried which was:

| theDano | 200005 | 123 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200005 | 345 |

and copy them to look like this back into the database:

| theDano | 200006 | 123 |
--------------------------------------
| theDano | 200006 | 345 |

so you can see that the only thing changed was increasing the month by one. Would seem simple to most but I am having a tough time wirting the code to read the array and increase each date value by "1".

Thank you in advance for anyone that replies. )

Value Of Variable Shown As "Array" When From Included File
I have this statement to find the latest date that a row was inserted
________

$entry=mysql_query("SELECT contact FROM board ORDER BY contact DESC
LIMIT 1")or die ("Query failed:<br>$entry<br>Error: " . mysql_error());

while($myrow=mysql_fetch_array($entry)){
if (ISSET($myrow['contact'])){
$latest = date("d M y", ($myrow['contact']+50400));
}
}
________

This reports the value for $latest correctly if the statement is in the
document.

However when the statement is in an included file the reported value for
$latest is ... Array

Where am I going wrong?

Why Does The Word "Array" Show On A Select Query
I am new to php and MySQL and I'm attempting to run a select query on a
MySQL database which is working fine except prior to displaying the table
with the results from the select query it displays 1 line for each row in
the database containing only the word Array. This is then followed by the
correct results in the constructed table. I am not storing the string
"Array" in my table.

Following is the PHP code for constructing the table from the results
variable.

for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($result); $i++)
{
echo "<tr>";
echo $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
for ($j = 0; $j < mysql_num_fields($result); $j++)
{
echo("<td>" . $row[$j] . "</td>");
}
echo "</tr>";
}

I hope this is enough of the PHP script to solve the problem

Echo "";
I have a search script which returns a page of results, however I'd like the returned page to be in the same format as the rest of my site.
To do this I've tried adding the HTML for my site to my PHP page with echo" " commands. This works for the plain HTML, but my regular pages also use SSI to do other stuff (some of them even execute other PHP scripts to generate tables of data etc). I've tried

echo "";
but it doesn't work as I get a parse error. My question is, how do I go about doing this properly? Is this possible at all? And if not have you guys got any suggestions to get around this?

Any File Size Limit In <PARAM Name="***" Value="***"> ?
I embed an applet in my php script which has a parameter providing an
input file for the jar. Does this file has size limit?

The code is as follows:
<APPLET ARCHIVE="myapplet.jar" WIDTH=372 HEIGHT=360 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0
ALIGN=middle>

<?php echo "<PARAM NAME="data" VALUE="myfile.">";?>

when "myfile" is beyond 15M, my applet cannot load sucessfully, but
while this file is limited like 5M or 7M, it works well.

Does anybody know is the reason caused by php script limit, applet
mechanism, or by different browser?

How To Do PHP "require()" Or TCL "source" In Bash Script
I can't figure out how to explain this any better than
this.

In PHP we have a command "require()" that obtains a file and logically
places it into another file.

I cannot figure out how to do this in bash script as the requirement
is necessary for a migration script to obtain the code from a .cfg
file and then be able for the "parent" script to run the code it
"imported" from the .cfg file, much like PHP's require() or TCL's
"source".

This is what I have so far and it fails:

if [ -f ivc.cfg ]; then
cat ivc.cfg
fi

Anyone really know bash script well please help, it's a barrier for me
not to be able to get just this one piece working.

Fwrite Seems To Add In Unwanted "Array" String
Whenever I add a string to a file usind the folling code it adds "Array" to the begining or end of the string added to the file.

$contents .='heh'
fwrite($descriptor,$contents);
fclose($descriptor);

I have played around with the "a" and tried "w" and "a+", but the "w" will not contain the "Array" string but will over write the files contents.

Error Using Header("", FALSE) To Show Multiple Images From MySQL Db
Many people seems to have problems when displaying multiple images from their database (mySQL db). Often you can read error statements like "Header already sent out ...". To solve this, people often propose to use include files.

To keep the scipt it would be nice not having this problem, being able to sent out multiple headers to a browser without getting these error messages. In the PHP4 manual, we can read an option that can be added to the header statement, Header("xxx",FALSE). It would enable multiple headers to be sent out.

For instance the following statement:

while ($product = db_fetch_object($result)) {
header("Content-type: pv($product->filetype)",false);
echo pv($product->image)"
}

However, it doesn't work. Anybody has any idea why? Does anybody use this option FALSE with success?

I am using an "Action" directive in my Apache configuration to map a

directive is for mapping a handler name to a CGI script in particular.
But it seemed to work at first.

Then a mysterious bug arose: Sometimes it works perfectly, and other
times the output is a totally blank page. It seems that if I haven't
viewed a page for a while, it chooses to do one of these at random
(though it is blank more often than not), and then it persists in the
same behaviour until I reload it many times. (That is, usually a page
appearing blank will eventually display if I reload it many times;
however, only rarely will a correctly-displayed page regress to
appearing blank after reloads.) Checking with `curl -i', it would
appear to a client program that the request was perfectly successful:
all the headers are there (with the correct content-type), it has an
HTTP/1.1 200 OK line, and so on (and there's nothing unusual in the
server's access or error logs), except Content-length is 0, and there
is indeed no content at all after the two newlines.

WTF?? Since when do computers behave non-deterministically? I should
hope, if a program is not going to behave correctly, that it at least
do so predictably and consistently. That would make debugging it much
easier. But what am I to make of this Schrodinger's Bug? How do I even
approach the debugging process?

(Also, if anyone could suggest a workaround, an alternate method of
having a PHP script handle files with a certain extension, then that
would be just as welcome. Though I'd like to stay within mod_php,
avoiding a CGI-based technique, because I'd prefer to not start a
process every time these pages are requested.)

Another "Fatal Error: Call To Undefined Function: Mysql_connect()"Question
I am getting the following error when I try to view a test page in my
browser. This test page just reads a table in mysql and outputs the
results.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/var/web/public/test.php on line 2

I'm using:
Apache 2
MySQL 4.1.12
PHP 4.4.0

I have tried upgrading PHP to PHP5. I went back down to PHP4. I
verified that mysql.so was being loaded. I tried using the OLD_PASSWORD
feature in mysql. Verified that the PHP module is loaded in apache.

What is weird however (at least I think) is when I run the following via
telnet:

php ./test.php

It pulls up the page, connects successfully to the database and displays
the records. No error message.

Checking If A Multi-dim. Array Has Been "filled Out"

I have the following recursive function which is supposed to check wether a multi-dimensional array has any "blank spaces" in it. PHP Code:
