PHP Forum

Hi all: I originally posted this in an HTML forum, but have realized that the solution may (a) require a server-side change or (b) be non-existent. In any case, since the page I'm dealing with is a PHP page and the problem has to do with an auto-inserted "input" element, I'll post it here, too. I'd appreciate any advice, commentary, or even...

I have a new situation I'm facing and could use a suggestion or two, as I don't seem to be able to think in the abstract very well. We have a local server which holds all of our image files. We have a remote server that runs our public Web server and mySQL database. I need to be able to run a script that will: Read the contents of a dir on...

I've cobbled a sort of global "debug" routine by using this function: function debug($str, $strname) { global $debugYN; if ($debugYN) { echo "<br><br>"; } } This function gets included (usually in a header) and then called by

In the attempt to keep the URL and code quite clean, and avoid to have a very loooong url, we have used $_session for storing values trough the pages. Now, we have some clients that doesn't get any result when going on the second page. After studying their browser, the confidentiality setting was at the maximum. On their settings, the site...

Are you allowed to use the following syntax in Mysql 4.0.17-nt : INSERT DELAYED IGNORE INTO `mytable` ( `ID` , `A` , `B` ) VALUES ("'.session_id().'", "2", ROUND(NOW()/10000) ); I am particularly interested in the delayed ignore. I want to make sure that no matter what, the instruction is carried out and that, due to indexes, the data is...

I can't seem to find any PHP CMS's built around PostGRES as a back-end. If I can't find one soon, I'm afraid I may have to build my own from scratch. Maybe make one that utlizes PDO from PHP5 so it's basically DB neutral. Any thoughts?

Hello, With regards to session_regenerate_id(), as Gordon pointed out on a previous post, the parameter to delete the old session was not added until PHP 5.1.0. I am running the 4.3 series, and am trying to manually delete my old session as I am calling session_regenerate_id() on every user request. I do not want PHP's garbage...

Guys, I need to make an automated script that runs every x seconds without using a CRON job. I heard there was a way doing it only in PHP. If you know any function that can be used please inform me about it.

Hola everybody! I've recently come up with a question about projects development. Do you use a project management environment like GForge or SourceForge?

I've used desktop software that allowed import or eport of data in comma deliminated format and had a gui interface that easily allowed columns to be reordered and deleted.

I came across this function as i got a problem with very long-running scripts which use transactions... in the php manual i do not see clearly stated if the function defined will be executed if a timeout is reached.

Hi all, I started programming in PHP recently and have a query about empty $_POST arrays. I can see two scenarios when this could happen. 1. When some tries to directly load the page to which data is being posted (for example, opening www.foo.com/xyz.php directly when a form action is xyz.php) 2. When the user clicks the submit button...

I forgot how to search a newsgroup for text. I took a HD crash and lost the "Favorites" that had that for me. If someone could post that, I'd appreciate it. Same crash took out all my PHP "Favorites". That is one of the things I'm looking for. What are the best places for syntax, tutorials and examples? TIA, ATS

Hi all, I'm sure this is a popular question that comes up every few months here. Indeed, I've looked at some of the past postings, but I would like to ask things differently. Basically, I'm using a flat file to storing data. I have to do this because mySQL is not installed on my web server, and I am not the root user. The amount of...

I have a very basic question about how to include files to be used by another file. I'm trying to include a bad word filter into the guestmap on my website. I know almost nothing about PHP code. I've tried everything I can think of but I keep getting error messages. The bad word filter code I found else where is this: File name is...

Hi all. I am a newbie in PHP. Recently I found that there are mainly two ways to fetch mysql(or other DB) data: by object or by array. What is the main differences between them? Will the server use more resources (just my thought) when fetching by object? Or any other reasons? Thanks in advance for advises.

The second line of this script <?php // current directory echo getcwd() . "<br />"; print ( exec("ls *.*") ); ?> should display the names of the four files (it does in an ssh session) which are located in public_html, but instead it displays just one filename, that of this script.

Hi I am moving a site to a new server, I have been testing it and one of the pages uses move_uploaded_file, but I get a Permission denied.

I have 2 drop-down menus (1) States (2) Shows By State. My question is how do I invoke a re-build of the Shows By State drop-down when the user requests a different state.
