Just doing session_start() will create the file. Are you also
session_register()-ing your session vars? The $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array
isn't like the $_SESSION array introduced in PHP 4.1 -- it's values are not
automatically registered. You still have to use session_register(), thus:

    session_start();
    session_register('foo');
    $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] = 'bar';

HTH

Check the register_globals setting in php.ini. If it is set to "On", then
code like this:

session_start();
$foo = 'bar';
session_register('foo');
echo $foo;

If register_globals is set to "Off", then code as you are already doing:

session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] = 'bar';
echo {$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']};

Kirk

attached mail follows:

ok, so now the variable names are registred and stored in the file. But
without values.
check this:

--firstpage.php----
session_start()
session_register('foo');
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] = 'bar';
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; //outputs bar;

transport by a href to:
----secondpage.php----
session_start();
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo']; //outputs nothing

---
checking the contents of the file called /tmp/sess_{session_id}:
!foo|

I guess it should be something like !foo=bar|

but, as I said, the values doesnt seem to stick in the file, just the names
of the variables.

I must be doing something wrong.

Make a choice here..

=> session_register('foo');
=> $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] = 'bar';

Use either the session_register() function or the session global array. Not
both.

This is because count() returns the number of elements in the array, but because the indexes start at zero the highest offset is count($parts)-1 -- so when you try to access element count($parts), PHP throws a wobbly.

pathinfo() should do the job for you.

I don't think create_global() is of any use to you in this situation --
you're just wasting the time taken to do the function call and return. Just
do either:

function org_display_title_code()
{
global $page_title;

echo 'This is title1 -> ' . $page_title;
}

Or:

function org_display_title_code()
{
echo 'This is title1 -> ' . $GLOBALS['page_title'];
}

Cheers!

Don't put either php4apache.dll (or equivalent) or php4ts.dll in your
Windows directory. Put the files for each version in separate directories
specific to the version (say, C:\php\4.3.2\dlls and C:\php\5.0.0\dlls), then
in your Apache .conf file specifically name this location in your LoadModule
command -- for instance:

Module php4_module c:/php/4.3.2/dlls/php4apache.dll

This has worked fine for me for a while now.

Cheers!

Mike

attached mail follows:

Well, it is not possible to run two seperate php4ts.dll file in the same
file path with the same file name even though they have different version.
One workaround to it would be to compile the older version into a different
file name while making sure the script point to that different file name but
it got to be tough to do that. Because you'll be modifying the codes and
compile it, into windows files and so on.

Use htmlentities() to convert quotes to HTML entities.

I think if php runs under IIS and IIS is set up to do so, the variable

U should probably look at how activex does it. I know that asp scripts
do it all the time and possibly some com objects can set that for you.

I have connected to exchange and used the username login (they type in)
to authenticate against.

Depends on how you have structured your tables. There should be a common
field between the tables on which you can join.

From your question, it seems you're more concerned with how to get
the file from the user to the server. To upload a file, you need the
following format for your web form:

<form action="upload.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
Upload file: <input type="file" name="upfile"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

That will let you move the file to the server. How you email it from
their is a whole 'nuther matter.

Can this be done automatically with PHP?

I want a file to be written to the root directory by PHP and not have to
get the web server admin to change ownership privaleges on the root.
Basically does anyone know how to get PHP to see what the server name
and group is and then assign the writing rights to the script?

This will allow me to generate a file on the fly.

Think about it, permissions are there for a reason -- to prevent users from
doing what they shouldn't be doing.

Run the script as root. Not recommended, unless you know what you're doing.

> This will allow me to generate a file on the fly.

But _why_ do you need to write to the root directory? Why not just write to a
directory where you *do* have permission to write to?

You can explore the possibility of Web Archives. This is how a web
archive starts:

MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Document-Type: Worksheet
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="----=_NextPart_01C3461B.AE5C1F00"

This document is a Web archive file. If you are seeing this message,
this means your browser or editor doesn't support Web archive files.
For more information on the Web archive format, go to
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/office/webarchive.htm

------=_NextPart_01C3461B.AE5C1F00
Content-Location: file:///C:/8B52764B/obrazok.htm
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/html; charset="windows-1250"

<head>
<meta http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dwindows-125=
0">
<meta name=3DProgId content=3DExcel.Sheet>
<meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Excel 10">
... and so goes the head tag.

<table x:str border=3D0 cellpadding=3D0 cellspacing=3D0 width=3D512 style=
=3D'border-collapse:
  collapse;table-layout:fixed;width:384pt'>
  <col width=3D64 span=3D8 style=3D'width:48pt'>
  <tr height=3D17 style=3D'height:12.75pt'>
   <td height=3D17 class=3Dxl1511330 width=3D64
style=3D'height:12.75pt;widt=
h:48pt'>halo</td>
.....

As you can see it is a simple mime multipart message with some html tags
in it, there are plenty of classes that can help you to build this.
Image will be in another part. Also check out the above mentioned link.

attached mail follows:

I have a script that contains style sheets and I can't seem to link it on my
Windows 2000 IIS server. It works perfectly fine on my Windows XP IIS server.
Here is what I am trying to do. The index.php file (which links to the style
sheets) is located in the MyScript folder and inside that folder is another
folder called themes (where the style sheets are located). I am doing the
following, which works fine on a Windows XP IIS server, but not my Windows
2000.

// Path to script files (absolute file path)
$HomeDir = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/MyScript/";

// Name of style folder
$ThemeFolder = "default";

//--- Then later in the page, I link the style sheet like this ---//
echo "
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'
href='".$HomeDir."themes/".$ThemeFolder."/style.css'>
";

Like I said before, the style sheets load up fine on my Windows XP IIS server,
but not the Windows 2000. In order to get it to work on the Windows 2000 IIS
server, I have to link the style sheets relative to the folder I am working
in, but I want to be able to move certain files into other directories without
manually linking each one, so that's why I am linking them from the absolute
home directory.

Is there some setting in the php.ini file that deals with this? If anyone has
suggestions, please let me know. I assume the above code would work on Linux
systems without problems (given the correct home directory path). Can anyone
verify this? Thanks a lot.

Hello,

This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Wed, 9 Jul 2003 at 12:51,

Doing this will mean that your script will only work correctly when viewed
on webserver computer. Remote browsers will not be able to access the
style sheet as you are referencing it as a file on your server machine.
Is this what you intended?

Well, I managed to track down the problem. The PHP system was set to use
/tmp for its session.save_path but there was no /tmp directiory.
Strange because on my test site I don't have a /tmp directory... I'm
guessing my ISP has taken care of that separately.
Anyway I created a tmp folder and everything seems fine.

The obvious thing to do is change all instances of "EMail" to "emailaddress"
or somesuch, and see if the problem still exists. Do you know anyone on AOL
who isn't having the problem?

Your guesses as to cause seem reasonable to me, but without an example of
their browser to test against, you're working blind.

Hmm... or maybe AOL is doing something wacky with onsubmit()?

Hmmm... I'll give that a try. And to the best of my knowledge this is
the ONLY user having the problem. I don't know for certain that others
are using AOL but I'm pretty sure they are and aren't having the
problem.

Hi List

Firstly, thanks for the replies and mostly for the accommodating
attitude to this, arguable non-PHP subject.

I don't want this thread to become a flame war on why one should use
XML, or why not.
I do have personal issues wrt XML and the way it works, and although I
cannot *yet* see the need, it doesn't mean that there isn't one.

My original post should have made this clear, but it seems it didn't.

I have laid to rest my reservations wrt XML, and am more interested in
understanding the entire process in the hope that 1) I will "see" the
need, and 2) understand how all those XML jargon fits together ( XML,
XSL, XSLT, DTD, DOMXML, phew...)

That was why I gave a brief summary of where I am atm wrt understanding
what it is.

What I still don't know much about, and at last, this is where the PHP
comes in, is once I have this XML file, whereto from here using PHP (
you see, it should be clear that I want to use PHP as my "one and only"
trusty tool.

As I stated, and correct me, the XML file contains the structured data,
and the XSL file contains the "look and feel" and the XSL file is
written in XSLT language.

My understanding is further that, again focused only on web applications
here, one would have an XML file in your web folder, along with it's XSL
file. These files would be "linked" by means of calls or references to
each other inside the files.

Having these two files (oh, and the dtd which can be used to verify the
XML, but doesn't seem necessary from what I can see), as I understand
it, gives the basis from where one would then parse the XML into XHTML
in order to actually "see" anything in a browser via one of two routes:
1) client side via the browser's built in XML parser -> arguably leaving
the old Netscape/IE gap wrt compatibility, or 2) server side parsing
with the built-in XML parser that comes with the webserver (IIS or
Apache in my case) -> with this approach being in my mind the "best" if
you want to make sure you don't run into browser issues.

This is where my PHP question really starts:
On apache.org they talk about the XML support of apache etc, and in the
PHP documentation there are lots of XML functions and yet more jargon
like DOMXML etc, which is not clear for me what to do now (should I
elect to parse server side).

If someone can just give me a quick and easy "tour" on what to do and
what is needed from here to actually parse and display the contents
correctly, I should have enough to keep me busy for a while, and
hopefully help me to increase my knowledge and understanding so I won't
ask stupid questions on this list ;)

Thanks again for the input.

U should read the docs on domxml. There is alot of examples in there on
how to do that and xslt.

Here are tons of tutorials to on phpbuilder.com, phpbeginner.com.

Does anyone know of any articles on integrating PHP, MySQL and Flash to
perform a drag and drop routine for updating a db?

Specifically, I have a client who is _INSISTING_ that I integrate a drag and
drop feature into his railcar storage application. He wants to be able to
view two railcar storage tracks, Track A and Track B, then drag and drop
cars from Track A to Track B ( or Track B to Track A ). Once he positions (
orders ) all the cars properly on each track, I need to update a MySQL db to
reflect the changes.

I have already developed the above feature so that he can do this
'textually', but he is _determined_ that he must have the graphic 'drag and
drop' feature.

There may be another method ( Javascript ? ) to accomplish the same effect.
I am certainly open to any advice and/or opinions. Any pointers would be
_greatly_ appreciated.

Thanks,

Why don't you just write a program in Java? It would be simple to do,

Randy,

Flash is so damned graphically oriented, but the graphic bits aren't
necessarily connected to bits of data ...

I'm just talking off the top of my head here .... w/o knowing any specifics
of your requirements.

Assuming you have n cars, then two tracks would have to be created, each
with n track elements. I guess these would be an array of movie clips.

Then a set of "car" movie clips would be created, each car loaded with the
information necessary, at a minimum, to uniquely identify it.

These get loaded on to one track, each car superimposed over a track element.

Then the cars can be dragged to the appropriate places on the "tracks".

When everything is positioned just so, then clicking "Update" would process
each track array, updating the database with the car and track-position data.

So, having blabbered on, I'm not much wiser. but this is much like a puzzle
game isn't it? How do the Flash games store their state?

It would also be nice to be able to shove a car in between two other cars.

So, if this model works, the bottom layer (scene?) has to be able to
identify what overlies it.

Try posting this on FlashCoders.

Cheers - Miles

Hi, Let's get right to it...
When I try to do this:

<?
echo $_COOKIE['test.1'];
?>

It doesn't work (needless to say there is a cookie that goes by this name)

So, when I did this:

<?
        foreach($_COOKIE as $cook => $val) {
        echo $val ." -> " .$cook ."<br>";
        }
?>

I got:
ec1c9edd209143432f36fsd29af410ef27 -> test_1

Notice the _ (underscore) instead of . (dot)

So I though that you couldn't have dots in your array names... Just to
be sure I wrote a small test program like this:

<?
$d['donald.1'] = "Donald duck";

echo $d['donald.1'];
?>

This however gave me the output:

Donald duck

So... anyone know what's up?

I believe that if you do it manually in a script, it works fine. But if PHP
gets/sets the value from POST, GET, COOKIE, etc. it converts the dot
to an underscore.
Using the same test script (using donald.1), store it in a cookie and then
retrieve it. Send it as POST or GET then try to display the value. Really
good odds are that the dot will be converted. Again, I belive this is in
the documentation, but I can't rightly remember where. :|

Because, when register_globals is set to On, the names of all GET, POST and
COOKIE parameters will be used as variable names, they may only contain
characters which are legal in PHP variable names. PHP automagically
converts all other characters to _ on the fly as they are loaded into the
$_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE arrays and, if register_globals is set, the
equivalent global variables.

> So I though that you couldn't have dots in your array

There's no problem with this -- it's purely that GET, POST and COOKIE names
must conform to PHP variable naming rules.

This is documented, if somewhat minimally, at
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php#language.variab
les.external.dot-in-names.
