He said "at least 2 decimal places", not "exactally two decimal places".

What I dont understand is that your examples are not consitant. You
want 2 or more decimal positions, so as if there are more than 2, to
leave what exists. But your first example, you truncate the last 0. Is
that a typo, or intentional?

What's so hard about this?
He wants two or more *significant* positions preserved. Show to at least
two decimal places, trailing zeroes truncated beyond the 2nd decimal place.

I am not sure what he is after, but I don't think it has to do with
significant figures (if that is what you meant). If that was the case,
12.400 should remain 12.400. Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal
are significant.

Perhaps. But he's saying that, for his purposes, they're not -- if anything
to the right of the last shown zero existed, it would be reflected in the
output.

When using something like this:

How do I also insert a field not in the CSV. For example there are 8

I think you need to make a second index that just consists of the one column
ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title)
if you want to search on just that one column.

Subject: [PHP] need help with MySQL full text searching!!!!
Hi
I have a table which contains 3 fields (ID, Title, Abstract) the title and
abstract fields have been fulltext indexes like this:
ALTER TABLE biblio ADD FULLTEXT (title,abstract);
that worked fine, however my problem is whenever I want to do a select
statement only comparing 1 of the columns to inputted data ( in a Select
statement):
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title) AGAINST
('$searchString')");
It gives me this error: Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list.
It appears that i cant just compare a single fulltext indexed column if
there are other fulltext indexed columns. When I try it with both columns
then it works but I just want to compare 1 column. eg:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Biblio WHERE MATCH (title, abstract)
AGAINST ('$searchString')");
So is there anyway that I can just compare 1 column with text entered? Do I
have t make some sort of temporary table to do this? All the examples I have
found show the select statement with 2 columns or if they use 1 coumn its
because there is only 1 column in their table.
Any help would be appreciated!
TIA
Angelo

This is a MySQL question, first of all.
Second, you need to rename the column in each table to 'savedccactivity' if
you want to order the whole result by that.
(SELECT foo AS column FROM table1)
UNION
(SELECT bar AS column FROM table2)
UNION
(SELECT abc AS column FROM table3)
ORDER BY column DESC

Hello,
This is a little off topic but I do need some help. I have had IE 6 for
about a month now (just got a new computer in June and have been using IE6
since). When I first started running it, it was fine. A few weeks ago,
though, all my fonts have greatly increased and I have done nothing that
would cause this.
If I make a webpage that has <font size="1"> then IE will display the font
at size 3 or 4. I have no idea why either. I have put a default style sheet
on IE to make all the fonts a certain size but this is getting annoying
since only some are getting resized.
I have run the Accessibilty wizard on Windows XP Pro but it did nothing. For
reference, here is my accessibility settings in IE6:
http://www.melchior.us/ieissues/acc.gif
If I turn off the style sheet option, then here is what all the fonts look
like:
http://www.melchior.us/ieissues/font_big.gif
Now if I turn on the style sheet, this is what the fonts look like:
http://www.melchior.us/ieissues/font_small.gif
If anyone has any ideas how to fix this, please let me know! I've already
tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE but there was no luck. Please reply
soon.

Is your text scaled? That's the only reason I think of.
View > Text Size > Medium (default)
You might be on Larger or Largest.

p.s. FIRST POST!!

Ctrl-MouseWheel will increase or decrease the text size in an IE browser
window. I've found that I've accidentally increased the font size since I
use the Mouse Wheel quite a bit. (As well as CTRL-W to close an IE window
if one pops up)

Hmm, yeah, you're probably right. I probably did push CTRL+MouseWheel since
I use it a lot and CTRL+C. Thanks for the info.
The power surge did do a lot of funky stuff to my files. I found bits of
messed up code here and there and my date was set to 2069. Thank goodness

Maybe it was your brothers but definitely not a power surge. If a power
surge were to interfere with your computer in a negative way it wouldn't
change the size of your font in IE.
Do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse? Is it possible you pressed
Ctrl-Scroll up/down at the same time at any point? Probably. That's the
most likely situation. It's really a handy tool, try it out.

I didn't see the original thread, but judging from the title, this is how
you'd do it:
<input type="hidden" name="serialized_array"
value="<?=htmlentities(serialize($array))?>">
And to retrieve:
$array = unserialize(stripslashes($_POST['serialized_array']));
(assuming magic_quotes_gpc is ON)

Notice your form method is POST, not both GET and POST. The HTTP request sent
after a user submits this form will be a POST request, even though you do have
GET variables. Try not to confuse GET/POST variables with GET/POST request
methods.

Hi all,
I have a string that for all practical purposes should probably be a

Hello,
PHP 4.2.2
I'm working on a cart program right now and I can't properly log the
user out. The only way I've been able to get a different session id is
by closing all browser windows and reloading the site.
Scenario:
I go the site I'm working on and click the login page. I have 'echo
session_id();' in the login page so I can see the session id. I fill in
my username and password and click "login". I'm then sent to a
processing page that actually fills in the session variable with some
data (i.e. username, session id, security level, etc.). I then redirect
back to the login page with header("Location: login.php");.
Now that I'm back at the login page I still see my session id (and as
expected it is the same). Then I click "logout" and am taken to a logout
page. The logout page is as follows:
<?
// start the customers session
session_start();
session_destroy();
setcookie("user_info","",(time()-3600),"/");
header("Location: {$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]}");
exit;
?>
Here is another version of the same file that I've tried using:
<?
// start the customers session
session_start();
session_unset();
session_destroy();
header("Location: {$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]}");
exit;
?>
As far as I have been able to find out (by surveying other people and
RTFM'ing) I'm doing it correctly, but for some it's just not working.
After I click logout I would expect to be sent back to the login page
and see a different session id displayed, but instead I'm presented with
the same session id. The only way I can get a different session id is by
closing all the browser windows and starting over.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris.
attached mail follows:
You have the same session id, but there is no data in it, so what's the
problem? You should still consider the user logged out since the session is
empty, right?
If you really want, upon logout, make a new session id with session_id(),
md5() and uniqid().

In order to use the set_cookie method to kill a session_id you need to
specify the name of the session, you have used 'user_info' but nowhere in
your code do you specify the session_name("user_info") as the sessions name.

Then something is wrong in your code. If you properly clear the session of
all of it's contents, then even if I pass the same session id on the next
page request, it should see me as a new user since there is no data in the
session.

Ok, then maybe I'm misunderstanding how sessions work and/or how they
are supposed to be used.
What is the point of having a unique ID for each session if the only
thing that matters is the data stored within it? Why have a session id
at all if it can't be used to uniquely track a user?
Just for the sake of example, let's say I write the session id to a
database each time someone hits the login page and successfully
authenticates. If the session id doesn't change between each user (using
the same computer, let's say in a public school library) then it would
appear that I've got much less use than I realy do.
Granted someone wouldn't really do it this way but I'm just trying to
make a point.
Chris.
p.s. I'm new to this list as you may have noticed and so far this is the
only list that I've been on that doesn't use the list's address as the
return address. Do I have to manually put it in the To box each time?

Well, it can, and it does. I guess it's all in how you use it. If my session
id is "abcd", then when I log out, your program should erase all of the data
in the session and forget that it ever knew about a session called "abcd".
That way, even if I log in with the same session (since the cookie wasn't
deleted, probably, which is probably the cause of this whole problem), then
I will be a new user and not related to the old user/session in any matter.

Ok that makes sense. Then in this case, what can you see that I'm doing
wrong that isn't deleting the cookie?
In my first post I showed that one of the versions of the logout page
that I used had this line in it.
setcookie("user_info","",(time()-3600),"/");
Shouldn't that take care of the cookie?

Like someone else said, that'll take care of a cookie called "user_info".
Your session cookie is named something else, usually PHPSESSID, IIRC.

You guys can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe what is referred to
here is SUEXEC.
This allows a virtual domain instance to run as any specified username
and group.
You are not setting the UID of the script but rather any script fun for
that domain. This way you don't have to chmod 777 or chgrp apache
files. The virtual server instance is set to run as you (usually) and
thus has the same permissions you do.
You may have to compile or recompile apache to get this to work for
your set up (requires you specify a path where SUEXEC files exist)
among other things.
hope this helps...
now... any regexp's response out there? :-)

What is your aim?
a) to have the site *work* on a server with rg off, or;
b) to re-engineer your site to be safer and more secure, taking

If it's a, then look at my example on weberdev, or just switch them

If it's b, then I hope your code is well organised and documented,
because it's a lot of work... I've done it on a few of my sites, but
they were all < 200 scripts.
1. you need to recognise which GET variables are being used in which

$page with $_GET['page'], then test test test to see if everything
still works.
2. do the same for POST variables (little easier, because you can view
the contents of your forms to get a list -- if you haven't got it all
documented somewhere).
3. review your session code (hopefully it's one include file, not 100's
of files), replacing your old style code:
<?
$foo = 'bah';
session_register('foo');
// etc
?>
with
<?
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bah';
// etc
?>
Then find all occurrences of $foo and replace it with $_SESSION['foo'],
etc etc.
Test test test.
4. Review your cookies implementation (if any), and replace all your
$cookieVars with $_COOKIE['cookieVars'].
Test test test.
That's the four biggest areas to worry about. I ended up re-writing my
session code from scratch, and wasn't using cookies (other than session
ones), so it was a relatively pain-free job, especially with a good
search/replace text editor doing most o the work for me.
I can also recommend doing a back-up of the entire site first, and
turning off register globals before you start. So that you're testing
the 'broken' code from day 1.
Good luck!

Its like when someone tells you to 'take the next exit'.. is it this exit
comming up or the one after that....

Hey sorry I just joined this list and I don't think I have seen the
original post so I'm just responding to a response.
Haseeb,
Certain things have to do with programming style, other things are just
bad practice.
Here is an example of coding style:
V1:
function additself($number) {
return $number += $number;
}
V2:
function additself($number)
{
return $number += $number;
}
Personally I prefer V4.
Now let's talk about bad practice.
It's bad practice to do what you used to do. That is, to have one huge
file that contains ALL your functions and objects/classes that will ever
be used in your program. To find out just *how* bad it is you can test
the time it takes to include that file using microtime().
Then, after you've split up the file, do the same test and see how much
quicker it is to include three small files than it is to include one
huge file.
You should split up your files by purpose and not by which page they are
included in.
For example, let's say your building an ecommerce store from the ground
up. You'll likely have some functions that perform certain tasks. i.e.
accessing the database, managing your cart, managing users.
Don't be tempted to create different include files for all the different
pages in your cart. Just group them by function/purpose and include only
the files necessary.
Sure it may cause a litle more overhead than if you created include
files specific to each page, but in the long run it will be much less
overhead than if you included everything in every page.
Hope this helps,
Chris.
p.s. I'd appreciate any comments on what I've said that can help improve
my method.

_____hi,
i have heard a lot of people commenting about the coding style of other
programmers. i think everyone has his own style. but i also say that there
should be a standard that should be followed by everyone. i know that there
are many good tutorials that explain how to code. anyway i have my own
style. i like keeping all the functions in one file and the include the file
whenever i need any function. now there are few problems in that. i prefer
writing functions for almost everything sometimes the functions file grows
to over 5,000 lines. now this is not good. when ever i need one simple
function i had to include all the file. now i also don't like keeping
functions in every file that uses it. this is becoming a big problem for me.
also i have seen some programmer that prefer to use only one file as front
end and place switch or if conditions and include other files depending on
the condition. i think its good way of doing things but when the magnitude
of the projects grows i find it very difficult for me to keep working. i
find it very hard to concentrate.
this is the problem, i have thought of the solution i.e. divide the
functions into files. and then include only that file that has the function.
but i thought i would ask you people how you handle this. may be i would

A nice idea that can never fly. It might work for basic programming
but you have to realize there are many ways and styles that people
develop - often times based on their idea of "proper" coding
philosophy. OO code is a perfect case in point. Pure OO coders (the
ones that realize Small Talk is the ideal OO model *shrug*) will have a
different style and implementation. This thread talks about using
include files (and thus classes) as a good way to split up code. The
problem is, the code i've seen, the reason for using the classes isn't
to write any object code at all (where is the inheritance?) but rather
to keep thing organized. PHP suffers from the fact that there is a
huge difference between the most basic of programming skills (it's an
easy language to pick up) and the folks that have been writing OO code
all their life (C++, Perl, Java, etc.). I've seen it in Perl - I
cannot code in the same style as a friend of mine (Randal Schwartz).
He simply thinks on a much higher level than I ever will and thus his
coding style will always be more sophisticated.
Just my two cents...

In making an array:
I have 7 checkboxes, which make up the array information. I currently use
implode to make the array, however that array only consists of the
information that it checked.
What I need to do now is make it so the array will always be 7 items, but if
there isnt a checkbox for the item, I want inserted to be a 0.
Example
item1[x]
item2[x]
item3[ ]
item4[x]
item5[ ]
item6[x]
item7[ ]
would return = 1,2,0,4,0,6,0
instead of what it does now. 1,2,4,6
I tried placing in the lines before the implode command, saying that:
if($array[0]=="") { $array[0]="0"; } else { }
if($array[1]=="") { $array[1]="0"; } else { }
if($array[2]=="") { $array[2]="0"; } else { }
if($array[3]=="") { $array[3]="0"; } else { }
if($array[4]=="") { $array[4]="0"; } else { }
if($array[5]=="") { $array[5]="0"; } else { }
if($array[6]=="") { $array[6]="0"; } else { }
But this just made the values of the array become blank.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Phillip

You could name the checkboxes such as
<input type="checkbox" name="item[0]" value="0">
<input type="checkbox" name="item[1]" value="1">
etc...
Then, since you know you have 7 boxes
for($x=0;$x<7;$x++)
{ $final_array[$x] = isset($_GET['item'][$x]) ? $_GET['item'][$x] : 0; }
or
$ar = array_fill(0,7,0);
$final_array = $_GET['item'] + $ar;

Well, you can't do anything about a very large file except increasing
the size in php.ini.
As for them being logged off and then submitting a file, you'll handle
it the same way. Upon realizing the session is invalid, but a file has
been submitted, you save that file in another temp folder and save the
information in the session. Upon correct revalidation, you load the
information for the file back into $_FILES, the form information back
into $_POST, and then run the original page that was reqested.

if you plan on using it, it might be wise to get on the php-dev mailing

Disclaimer: Things listed as experimental should always be treated as such and
never relied upon to have a consistent API or not break.
That said, I recall that the current sockets extension maintainer desires to
label the extension stable as soon as possible. This means that it is highly
unlikely that the API will change. In addition, I have used it extensively and
have found it to be very stable under a number of conditions. I treat it as a
stable extension myself.

If you are compiling from source, use your normal configure but without
reference to --with-apxs and a binary executable will be created. If you
are using 4.3 I think there is a php-cli which should do what you want.

I have plenty of use for the so called 'crap'. I know how to use a
