Writing Pseudo For Availability
creating an online store for a project in on of my classes. I've searched around and cant really find how to create some availability scripts. How can I create a script to check our database on whether certain things are available? Any suggestions? Just asking for a good starting point.

Pseudo-cron
Harry Fuecks well known PHP writer suggests for those that have difficulties in accessing “cron” to utilize “pseudo-cron”. I D-loaded it as a zip; it seems quite straightforward and easy to use. As usually with a cron job one is responsible for the php scripts that contains the cron-job to be performed. Also Harry recommends that if in your php.ini setting “short_open_tag” is off to edit the pseudo-cron files and make short tags: <? The full <?php initial tag. If you are interested in D-loading it (it is free under the GPL) http://www.bitfolge.de/?l=en&s=pseudocron (I did left the URL as is so you can see the address) It is clean I scanned both the zip and unzipped files So the question before out of curiosity I give it a try is: Has anyone tried it?

We want readers in our campus be able access to these databases,but we can't tell them the real password in case it be wrongly used.

Pseudo Random Sequence
I am driving myself crazy trying to think of a solution to this - perhaps one of you guys can see a simple solution. The problem is displaying the contents of an array in what appears to be random order, but in fact is a set sequence depending on a given value (e.g. the day of the month). So on the 1st of the month the array is always displayed as: T,G,Q,C,I,N,E,A On the 2nd day you ALWAYS get G,I,A,N,E,T,Q,N The order itself is not important, but what is important is the apparent random sequence is really repeatable. Hope you can make some sense out of this.

Pseudo Code Or PHP Concept
I am very familiar with the syntax, but I've been programming local apps for a decade. I'm not used to writing stateless apps, and I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I know about sessions, and this is what I plan to use, but I am looking for concepts/pseudo code/flowcharts on a basic (but fully functional and secure) login script. I can code one now but I am not sure if I am using good PHP practices and technique? How do I differiantiate between different computers on a LAN being logged in at once? A few lines describing the whole process from first visiting a site, to what happens (in the code) when you login, how the "keep me logged in" feature works and logging out would be nice.

Translating From Pseudo Code
I have variables called preConSA1, preConSA2, preConSA3 and preConSA4. Each can have an integer value of from 1 to 4. What I'd like to do is loop through the values like this: if ($preConSAx = 1) { $preConSAx = $preConFirstChoice; } else if (preConSAx = 2) { $preConSAx = $preConSecondChoice; } else if (preConSAx = 3) { $preConSAx = $preConThirdChoice; } else if (preConSAx = 4) { $preConSAx = $preConFourthChoice; } I'm not even sure I've written the pseudo code right, but basically, what I'm trying to do is find a short-cut way to assign each of the 4 preConSA variables to its respective choice variable. I could do it the long way -- just writing the code block out 4 times -- one for each variable. But I figured there was a more eloquant way to do it.

Creating A Pseudo Filename For Downloading?
I have an interesting problem.... I work for a company that develops software for the building industry and would like to distribute one of our software products via the web. here is the problem The main file sits on my web server. We generate unique URLs for the buyer to download the software. We also generate unique filenames and store it in a database along with the unique URL This in essence is a pseudo filename When the user clicks on the URL that we send him I need the PHP script to initiate the file transfer giving the user the pseudo filename rather than the actual filename on the server I have everything working except for the ability to send the user the pseudo filename! at this moment in time we are sending them the same filename as the file sitting on our server. Is there anyway of doing this with PHP? Edit: In my code I have tried the following header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Type: application/force-download'); // Tells the browser to expect a download header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); // Tells the browser the format of the data header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($realfilename)); // Tells the browser the size of the file header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($uniquefilename)); // Tells the browser the name of the file readfile($realfilename); As you can see I am reading the original filename's properties however using the Content-Disposition header to tell the browser the filename to download!

Function To Parse Pseudo-code
On my website I want to have one array that contains all text-related stuff, like notifications, information, etc. Some of them have variables in it, like: "You have 4 new messages". I thought I mark variables with things like [new] so $new will be [new] so it will be easier to translate. I started writing a parser to parse a specified value of the array. But the values of the variables are defined outside the function and doesn't appear to be seen within the function. This is what I have untill now: <?php /* this is just an example containing one var, but sometimes a string contains zero, and sometimes 10 */ $lang = array(); $lang['new'] = 'You have got [num] new messages' $num = 4; function parse ($var) { ......................

PEAR Availability
I'm starting to look into PEAR, and it looks like there's some interesting stuff in there. I'm wondering how much I can rely on it for a distributed app. If I understand correctly, it's now included in the PHP distro, and installed by default. What version did this start with? Is the default installation just the base class, or are some of the packages included as well? The tricky question is: does anyone have any idea of how commonly it's installed? Do most hosting companies provide it? I know end users can install it for themselves, but I have enough support issues without having to hold users' hands on that.

Checking Room Availability For Hotel Booking System
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having. I've been using Dreamweaver to create a hotel booking system for a friend of mine, using MySQL (version 4.0.21) and PHP 5. The bit I'm struggling with is checking the Room Availability based on dates that are typed into a textfield and then returning a list of the available rooms on the next page. The three tables involved in this function are: CREATE TABLE `room` ( Room_Number tinyint(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, Price_Double_per_Night decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, Price_Twin_per_Night decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, Price_Single_per_Night decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, Price_Double_per_Week decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, Price_Twin_per_Week decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, Price_Single_per_Week decimal(5,2) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(`Room_Number`), ) TYPE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=fixed; CREATE TABLE `room_booking_link_entity` ( Room_Number tinyint(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL, Room_Booking_ID int(11) NOT NULL, Single_Double_Twin enum('Single','Double','Twin') NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(`Room_Number`, `Room_Booking_ID`), INDEX `Room_Number`(`Room_Number`), INDEX `Room_Booking_ID`(`Room_Booking_ID`), FOREIGN KEY `Reference_14`(`Room_Number`) REFERENCES `room`(`Room_Number`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION, FOREIGN KEY `Reference_85`(`Room_Booking_ID`) REFERENCES `room_booking`(`Room_Booking_ID`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION ) TYPE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=fixed; CREATE TABLE `room_booking` ( Room_Booking_ID int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Customer_ID int(11) NOT NULL, Bill_ID int(11) NOT NULL, Date_of_Arrival date NOT NULL, Date_of_Departure date NOT NULL, Number_of_Nights tinyint(3) NOT NULL, Date_Booking_Made date, Status_of_Booking enum('Booked','Arrived','Departed') NOT NULL, Total_Cost decimal(7,2) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(`Room_Booking_ID`), INDEX `Room_Booking_ID`(`Room_Booking_ID`), INDEX `Customer_ID`(`Customer_ID`), INDEX `Bill_ID`(`Bill_ID`), INDEX `Date_of_Arrival`(`Date_of_Arrival`), INDEX `Date_of_Departure`(`Date_of_Departure`), INDEX `Status_of_Booking`(`Status_of_Booking`), FOREIGN KEY `Reference_03`(`Customer_ID`) REFERENCES `customer`(`Customer_ID`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION, FOREIGN KEY `Reference_14`(`Bill_ID`) REFERENCES `bill`(`Bill_ID`) ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION ) TYPE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=fixed; I've just discovered that MySQL 4.0.21 does not support subqueries. I'm basically stuck with this version of MySQL. I think I've got round the subquery problem by using a multi query option as follows: 1.Create a temptable that will store all of the room numbers that have bookings for the particular dates requested as follows: SELECT DISTINCT a.room_number INTO temptable FROM booking_link_entity AS a INNER JOIN room_booking AS b WHERE b.departure_date >$_POST[‘ARRIVAL'] And b.arrival_date < $_POST[‘DEPART']; 2.Left join this with the room table and pull out rows with no match SELECT a.room_number, b.room_number FROM room AS a LEFT JOIN temptable AS b ON a.room_number=b.room_number WHERE b.room_number IS NULL; 3.Delete temp table I've tried doing this in Dreamweaver, but to no avail. I have a feeling it is too complex for Dreamweaver. My php knowledge is very basic and was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers as how to do this in PHP?.

However, I don't want to use the standard "?name=value format."

This works great, the only thing that goes wrong is when I write a single or double quote in my text field, php writes ' or " in my xml file. ie: If I write this into my field: <teachers> <teacher name='Bobby Brown' file='bbrown'/> </teachers> PHP writes this into my xml file: <teachers> <teacher name='Bobby Brown' file='bbrown'/> </teachers> Any suggestions?

Writing To A File
The script below writes to a file and sends back confirmation that all is well. That is working correctly. The problem I am having is when I view the blank data.txt file that I uploaded to the server (and yes, I have put the file permissions to rw-rw-rw) its still blank!!!!!!! despite my little script stating that all is well. The same script works perfectly well on the totalise server. If the answer is to run the script as cgi I am too sure how to carry out the 7 different suggestions advised at the FAQ. I am OK at saving the script with a .pl or .cgi extsion instead of .php but how do I incorporate the extra line of code(#!/usr/bin/perl?) do I use it everytime I open php in the script or just once at the start. What exactly is the base path and how do I check to see if it is set correctly. The script in question is: (basically it handles the data(an URL and a description) coming from a html form and writes these to a file(data.txt) <?php function WriteToFile ($URL, $Description) { /* Function WriteToFile takes two arguments--URL and Description--which will be written to an external file. */ $TheFile = "data.txt"; if(is_writeable($TheFile)){ $Open = fopen ($TheFile, "a"); if ($Open) { fwrite ($Open, "$URL $Description "); fclose ($Open); $Worked = TRUE; } } else { $Worked = FALSE; } return $Worked; } // End of WriteToFile Function. ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Using Files</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <?php /* This page receives and handles the data generated by "form.html". */ $Pattern = "(http://)?([^[:space:]]+)([[:alnum:].,_?/&=-])"; if (eregi($Pattern, $Array["URL"])) { $Replace = "<a href="http://23" target="_new">23</a>"; $Array["URL"] = eregi_replace($Pattern, $Replace, $Array["URL"]); $CallFunction = WriteToFile ($Array["URL"], $Array["Description"]); if ($CallFunction) { print ("Your submission--$Array[URL]--has been received!<BR> "); } else { print ("Your submission was not processed due to a system error!<BR> "); } } else { print ("Please enter a valid Web address!

Writing PHP Scripts Without Using ? In The URL
I plan on redeveloping a website using a PHP and MySQL backend, rather than the static HTML files that are in use now, as it is difficult and time consuming to update. Right now, these pages are indexed in Google, and that is a large source of traffic for the site.

Writing To .htaccess
I read "Blocking Badly Behaved Bots" and its predecessor, and I'd like to ask a relatively simple question: Assuming I already have the bad IP to ban (let's call it $ip), how would I write the IP to the appropriate line in .htaccess, and safely? I'd like to use a relatively simple script like this one: <?php $file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .'/.htaccess' $fp = fopen($file, 'a'); fwrite($fp, "Deny from".$ip.""); fclose($fp); ?> But again, I'm not sure how safe this is, and it doesn't write the IP to the correct line.

Writing A PHP Extension
I have the following questions regarding writing a PHP extension. You don't have to answer all questions. Please answer everything you can. I'd really appreciate it. 1. What is the most common version that's used out there? If I wrote an extension for PHP 4, would it work for PHP 5? Also, is PHP 3 very different? 2. My extension will need to use an external C++ (not C) library. That should be all right, right? 3. When/where/how do I specify whether or not I want my extension to be built-in or external? I know (actually, more like, think) that it is in config.m4 but I don't know exactly how to specify it? 4. This is probably more a C/C++ question, when/where/how do I specify whether or not my library is to be shared/dynamic or static? Also, is that decision relevant only for external extensions?
