How Do You Pass A Variable Via A "pseudo-directory" Or URL Prefix?
I've searched everywhere for this but I'm not sure exactly what to
search for.
What I am trying to do is pass a variable to a php script via the URL.
However, I don't want to use the standard "?name=value format." I want
to either pass the variable as "value website.com" or
"website.com/value" where the script is stored in some directory
"website.com/script/index.php" and the value gets stored in a variable
declared within my php script.
I have seen this done but I just need some guidance on how to go about
doing it.

FTP_login + $pass="" And $user=""
I use the following scrit in an Intranet with the user name = "" and the password = "" : <?php $ftp_server = "192.168.25.25"; $ftp_user = ""; $ftp_pass = ""; $conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server"); if (@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)) { echo "Connected at $ftp_user@$ftp_server "; } else { echo "Can't connect with $ftp_user "; } ?> I have the following message : Connected to 192.168.25.25 Warning: ftp_login(): 'USER': Invalid number of parameters in E:www est_ftp.php on line 26 I tried to : ftp_login($conn_id, "", "") but i have the same result...
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 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.
Can't Install PHP - Keep Getting "Invalid Directory" Error Regarding The Path To Apache Httpd.h
I've installed Apache 1.3.36 on my Redhat EL 3 machine. Now I'm trying to install PHP 5.1.4. I can not get the ./configure command to work. I keep getting this error: configure: error: Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/local/apache/include So then I run this command: find / -name httpd.h which should find every file on my machine with the name "httpd.h". These are the results I get: /usr/local/apache/include/httpd.h /home/shelley/apache_1.3.36/src/include/httpd.h So I've rerun the ./configure command, using this first: --with-apache=/usr/local/apche/include and since that didn't work: --with-apache=/home/shelley/apache_1.3.36/src/include/httpd.h but I get the "Invalid directory" error with both addresses.
Make PHP Find Windows Directory. I Need The Php Equivelant To "%WINDIR%"
I've written a small gui for PHP.ini but I don't know how to make PHP find the windows directory itself. You'll probably understand better when you see the code below. I'm currently using the line: Code: $PHP = new Config ("c:windowsphp.ini",";"); And that works fine but only if PHP.ini is in c:windows. I tried Code: $PHP = new Config ("%WINDIR%php.ini",";"); but that dowsn't work, I need something that finds windows dir. itself, Any ideas? You can see an example of it at http://213.152.46.100/gui/php-config.php (Uses a temp PHP.ini so you can't mess nothing up, feel free to play about with it)
How Can I Remove Session Files In The "tmp" Directory?
How Can I Remove Session Files In The "tmp" Directory? I have just started working with "sessions." A Unix server stores a temporary file in a "tmp" directory. The temporary files include a string of numbers for the sessions variable. I need to devise a way to remove the temporary sessions files from the "tmp" directory on the server. If you would, please respond and indicate: 1). What is the best way to remove the sessions files from the "tmp" directory? or 2). What is the best way to handle the sessions files in the "tmp" directory?
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.
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:
Listing Directory With "grep"
I'm using the readdir function to list in a php page all the files into my directory, Is there a function that permit me to list all file grepping the "rom" word?

[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...
'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?
PHP "Calender Like" Pop Up To Select Date And Store As Variable In Mysql Format?
I use to have this feature on my site about two years ago when i hired someone. It would allow the user to select between two different dates, via a small calender, save it as a variable then query the database. Does anyone know where I can find the script for the small calender? I think it must of been populated by an external clock since all the dates were accurate etc. July 21st was on a saturday.
Aren't Session Variable Preserved Using "Header('Location: Xxx')"?
I am trying to pass some info to another page on my site. I set "session_start()" in page 1, assign a session variable to a value, then execute a "header('Location: ....')." But on the target page I don't get any session variable values! BTW, I used a relative location in the Location header, not an absolute URL. The behavior looks like it started another session, but it should not have.
How To Store HTML Code (with " ", ' ') Inside A Variable In Php Script?

How should i do it if i had something like <HEAD><TITLE='PHP foo'></HEAD>?

"Admin Mode" Variable. Safe Method?
I'm currently developing a site that lists a number of articles using a PHP loop that pulls data from a MySQL database. In this loop (i.e for each article) I have an IF statement: if ($adminMode == true) echo 'Administrator only stuff'; Basically, the site will either operate in normal mode if the $adminMode variable is false, otherwise it will operate in admin mode with all the extra admin content therein (like an 'edit' or 'delete' link for example). Now, in order to set the $adminMode variable, I have a seperate file called admin.php which is protected by a .htaccess password. In the admin.php file, I have this: $adminMode = true; require_once 'main_page.php'; The $adminMode variable is never passed via a POST or GET and every administrator function checks the $adminMode variable is true before executing. My question is this: is this method safe?
Check Variable Against A List (cf. Mysql "in")
Is there a PHP way to see if a variable is a member of a list? E.g. I want to know if $a is in the following list: "apple", "orange", lemon". I know I could loop through an array of values, or I could do a series of "or"s in an IF statement, but I'm looking for something easier and more elegant. I know in mysql, I could do a query like 'select * from table where id in ("value1", "value2", "value3")'..
Echo "<!--#include File="top.html" -->";
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 "<!--#include file="top.html" -->"; 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.
$Variable Won't Work In "if" Statement
The PHP code below is a snippet from an image upload script on which I am working. If I extract the $AllowableImageHeight variable value from the MySQL database the " if" statement works - but the value of $AllowableImageHeight is "zero". However, if I assign the value to the $AllowableImageHeight variable within the script like so: $AllowableImageHeight = "50"; the "if" statement works just fine. As a test, I have echoed the $AllowableImageHeight variable outside of the if statment - it outputs just fine whether the variable is extracted from the MySQL database or whether the variable is assigned on the script page. I can't figure it out. I've been wrestling with this problem since yesterday. If I extract the variable from the MySQL database it outputs in the browser but it won't work in the "if" statement. However, if I assign the value to the variable directly on the script page the variable works perfectly fine in the "if" statement!!
Call_user_func() Vs. "variable Functions"
I was looking at the PHP function "call_user_func()" (http://us3.php.net/call_user_func). It appears that this will solve a design problem in the app I'm working on. (I'm writing a class that will allow a PHP programmer to call their own custom functions.) However, in the comments a couple people mention "variable functions". E.g., "You should avoid this function and use variable function calls instead!" What are "variable functions"?
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.

Mysql/php - "LIMIT" And "ORDER"
In the following fragment of code, I am querying a database that in order to display a list of films. The list is very long and I would like to offer the possbility to restrain the range of results showned by page keeping in mind that the user should be able to browse forward or backward data if applicable. I know that I have to add the LIMIT method in the MySQL query but I have a hard time figuring how not to get lost in setting it dynamically in the PHP script. Then I have a second question. Is there a more elegant / straightforward way to deal with the display order of the data (cf. $ot, $od and $oy)? Code:
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. PHP:------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ $query_RS_award = "SELECT * FROM $award WHERE id != Ƈ' ORDER BY year DESC, w DESC"; //$query_RS_award = "SELECT * FROM $award WHERE year = "$year""; $RS_award = @mysql_query($query_RS_award, $connection) or die("Couldn't query: " . mysql_error()); $totalRows_RS1 = mysql_num_rows($RS_award); while ($row_RS_award = mysql_fetch_assoc($RS_award)) { $award_id = $row_RS_award['id']; $award_tblid = $row_RS_award['tblid']; $award_award = $row_RS_award['award']; $award_year = $row_RS_award['year']; $award_category = $row_RS_award['category']; $award_won = $row_RS_award['w']; $award_film = $row_RS_award['film']; $award_nominee = $row_RS_award['nominee']; $award_note = $row_RS_award['note']; if (!($award_category)) { $award_category = "n/a"; } else { $award_category = $award_category; } if ($award_won == "1") { $award_won = " - Award Winner"; } else { $award_won = ""; } $display_block_Award .= "YEAR: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_year</span><br>FILM: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_film</span><br>CATEGORY: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_category</span><br>NOMINEE: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_nominee</span><span class='normalText12BoldWhite'>$award_won</span><br><blockquote><span class='normalText12White'>$award_note</span></blockquote><hr>"; }
Cookies And "include" Or "require"
i'm having a problem with my setcookie() instructions. Although there are absolutely no html tags in front of them,for some reason PHP3 sends me back the message "oops...php3_SetCookie called after header has been sent"... I do however use two "require" calls, one to a file with a .php extension, and one to a file with an .inc extension. At the beginning of each files there's a Could the cookie failure and the include functions be related ? In my text, I have even wiped out any HTML tags such as "bold, paragraph, line break" tags, even in "echo" commands, but to no avail what am i doing wrong ?
Why Use "Stripslashes" And "Addslashes" Function

PHP Variable "supernaturally Set" - How Is This Possible?
print_r("From index.php 20: $prefix: stateXML = $stateXML<P>"); foreach (array('state', 'country') as $prefix) { print_r("From index.php 21: stateXML = $stateXML<P>"); ${$prefix .

Question About Using "global" On One Page Then Using The Variable On Another Page
I am taking over an exisitng app. I have the following function on one page: function check($v) { global $user; return $user->validate($v[1], $v[0]); } And it reference $user on the next page. Register_globals are set on the existing server but I am moving to a new server where it is not. The code of the next page is lilke: session_register('user'); $user=$_SESSION['user']; I also want to turn it around so it's: $_SESSION['user'] = $user; But that fails - $user is empty. By the way, $user is an object. Any ideas to how to make sure: $_SESSION['user'] = $user;
How To Count "Hit" And "View"

Pass A Querystring Through <a Href="mailto:xxxx .... Using PHP Variables
I'm trying to send a link with a querystring as the body of an email message. My HTML syntax looks something like this: <a href="mailto:xxx@yyy.com?Subject=<? print $subject ?>&Body=<? print urlencode($url) ?>">Send an Email</a> (I've had to URLENCODE the variables first, and it works. If I don't do so, then it doesn't work.) The problem occurs when it is time to display the encoded version. It automatically translates it into the appropriate URL in certain email clients (like OUTLOOK) but leaves it encoded in others (like Groupwise). Basically, I would like to be able to email a link in the body with querystring in such a way that it appears on ALL email clients. I've tried lots of things, but nothing seems to work.
Make "blabla" Into Keywords As In "php.net/blabla"
I know this must be documented, but I cant seem to find it. How would you transform the URL into values? Like how php.net does; www.php.net/date does a search for "date" in their database... I have built a simple search function on my site, and I would like to do the same.. anyone who knows how? Or who has seen an article in the subject? Or has any other tips?
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?
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. ) Dano
