Assign Userid To A Session Variable
When a user logs into my system, i assign their userid to a session variable [php] $_SESSION['userid'] = $myrow[0]; [php] and then a user logs out, i do the following [php] $_SESSION['userid'] = '' session_write_close(); [php] so, when a user clicks on a link to a page they should only see when logged in, i do the following test [php] if (isset($_SESSION['userid'])) { header('Location: members.php3'); } [php] but the logout does not seem to work for some reason? userid still seems to be set after running the logout script, any ideas? am i doing something silly?

Assign Value To Variable
Is there any way I can use a function to create a variable and assign a value to it? I have a Perl script that returns some LDAP information: sn=Shore givenname=Mike logintime=20041008153445Z logindisabled=FALSE Instead of parsing this text and assigning the values, I was wondering if a function exists where I can pass a variable name and a value, and the variable would be created. ie. somefunc("sn", "Shore") Would create the variable $sn and assign the value "Shore" to it.

Assign MySQL Function Result To PHP Variable
I know to use: mysql_fetch_row($result) to convert a row from a SQL query result set into an array for use with PHP. but in the case of SQL queries that return one value, such as calls to MySQL functions, is there another PHP mysql api function I should use. For example, right now I use a "workaround" technique from PHPBuilder: $result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename"); list($numrows)=mysql_fetch_row($result); Rather than using this "workaround" code is there a way to simply assign the result of the MySQL function query to a variable. $result=mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename"); $numrows=mysteryfunction($result);

Trying To Unset Single Session Variable Unsets Entire Session
I have all the data being stored in session variables, so when the student puts in his student ID, it passes it from one page to the next. After the student votes, I use a function called logout that checks if the vote was counted, then uses session_unset($_SESSION['studentID']) and I also have a place that passes an error through session to let the user know of various problems with their login, such as if they have already voted. if voting is disabled, or if there are no candidates to vote on. The problem I am having is when I use session_unset, it unsets ALL session variables, not just the ones I want. php.net says not to use session_unregister if register_globals is disabled, which it is. What else can I do? I need to be able to unset only $_SESSION['error'] (the returned error message) and $_SESSION['studentID'], instead of unsetting the whole session.

Loop Through Array And Create Variable Session Variable Names
As part of my user authentication class I've written a method that sets session variables. I pass an array to the function by reference which contains elements populated with information from the users table in the DB (name, street, country etc) At the moment the function looks like this: /* Set the session variables for easy access to user data */ function _setSessionData(&$userData) { $_SESSION['loggedOn'] = true; // Logged on $_SESSION['userID'] = $userData['UserID']; $_SESSION['username'] = $userData['UserName']; $_SESSION['password'] = $userData['Password']; $_SESSION['firstName'] = $userData['FirstName']; $_SESSION['surname'] = $userData['Surname']; $_SESSION['email'] = $userData['Email']; $_SESSION['street'] = $userData['Street']; $_SESSION['city'] = $userData['City']; return true; } What I'm wondering is if it is possible to loop through the $userData array, and dynamically name and populate the session variables rather than listing them all and assigning like I have?

Check If Session & Session Variable Exist
I'm setting up a basic "shopping cart" using a multi-dimensional array stored in a session. I want to check if the session exists & if the cart has anything in it to determine whether or not to display "view cart" or "nothing in cart" - easy enough to do. BUT, I don't want to just session_start and then check if my variable is registered - or count() the variable (I'm thinking - why start a session if there is no need to at that stage?). Seeing as you can't session_start(); before sending headers to the browser, I thought I could run this function at the very top of every page that needs to know if the cart has items in it, while trying not to start a session if one DOESN'T exist: PHP Code:

Best Ways For Mass Mailing
I would like to understand which are the best ways to send bulk mailings like for newsletters and so on ( not spamming, always to receivers who opt-in ). I am not looking for code for now , I have found some very interesting classes and I also have my own scripts, I just want to know all the options available and why one is better of another . So, if have to send just a few copies to, say, less than one hundred people I can use the mail function, If I have to send , say, 20 thousand emails I will have to hire dedicated mail servers, but what if I have to deliver a few hundreds emails ? What is usually the max limit using my shared hosting before moving to a dedicated mail server ? What is the best way ? maybe splitting the delivery in batches using the default mail ( sendmail ) or by SMTP ?

Gettext Vs Custom Ways
Does anyone here have experience with PHP gettext functions? I'd like to know how they work better. Also, is gettext more efficient than serializing the language strings into language files and unserializing them at each request? I found this on Google saying that some guy sped up gettext, but I have no idea how fast it was in the first place: I was planning to just unserialize the appropriate language file at each page request and then use the strings kind of like phpBB does (language strings are assigned to constants and the needed strings are assigned to the template engine per-page). It seems to me that this would be easier to deal with than using _() and an English string to encode every string before sending it to the template engine.

Better Ways Compare Strings: Exact Matches
I'm creating a lot of arrays. Some of the arrays carry words that get duplicated... For example: $aCities = {"Durham", "Raleigh", "Raleigh-Durham", "Salem", "Winston", "Winston-Salem" } I've been using stristr alot but that ends up meaning that I must take the arrays out of alphabetical order and in the end it complicates things on my part. I'll comparing it to the strcmp() function right at the moment but I ran into some difficulties with strcmp() a couple nights ago, along the lines of having to convert the strings in the array lower-case (all my arrays are currently stored in a ucwords() format). The dashes in the names also present a bit of a problem. The way I'm currently doing the comparisons... function GetCity($sSearchThis) { $aAllCities = GetAllCitiesArray(); // make sure parameter is lowercase $sSearchMe = strtolower($sSearchThis); foreach ($aAllCities as $sThisCity) { if (stristr($sSearchMe, $sThisCity) !== FALSE) { return($sThisCity); } // default to raleigh return("raleigh"); } What's the best way to accomplish this or is there a better way under the following conditions: (1) The item passed in IS a string (not an array). (2) A default string is always returned when no match is found. (3) The alphabetical order of the array must remain alphabetized. (4) The dashes are not required.

What Are Normal Ways To Scale Up PHP's Default Settings For Growing Traffic?
PHP comes with certain defaults, set in php.ini. Among these, scripts time out after 60 seconds, I think. The default memory limit for a script is, I believe, 8 megs. I assume that when people do large-scale sites with PHP they scale these numbers up. If you have a content management system running every aspect of a large corporate web site, including a database back end that employees use for important, secret, protected information, then I imagine there is quite a lot of processing that might be needed for every request. A limit that I run into all the time is the memory limit. If I get a large amount of info back from the database, and then try to store the return in an array, it is easy to go over the default 8 meg limit.

For some reason this doesn't happen. The variable gets assigned a variable but once it is passed over to main.php, the session variable is not there anymore. Here is the code for main.php: if (!empty($_SESSION['sname'])) { ?> <p>Welcome</p><?php echo($_SESSION['sname']);?> <?php }else{ printf("failed..."); //header( "Location: index.php" ); } For some reason I always get the "failed" message....
