I figured out what was wrong with it, thanks for all your help. I hate
syntax errors. I needed to echo the variable when trying to display it and
the double "=" helped resolve the other problem. Thanks everyone.

Yeah but Jay, you didn't allow for an else. Your code should have an
else in there so that even if he's not at home it'll still print the
link, just not bold. ;)

Also, a ternary operator would be best for this.

echo ($subnav == "home") ? "<strong><a...>Home</a></strong>" :
"<a...>Home</a>";

I basically solved this problem of writing a 32 bit float in little endian on
a big endian computer using:
$num2=pack("f",$num);
fwrite($fp,$num2[3],1);
fwrite($fp,$num2[2],1);
fwrite($fp,$num2[1],1);
fwrite($fp,$num2[0],1);

for floating point (I am working on a UNIX [big endian] making a file for i86
[little endian]).

The more info, the better, perhaps some body else will search and find this
if ever the need.

There was a large discussion on this about two weeks ago, check the

You could look at a nice GUI package that does all the database

If you have to move to Windows, at least use Apache. I note in my
server access logs on my Windows test machine that people are trying to
hack in every day and I have a very obscure site just to test my own
clients' web apps. It always looks like some kind of super long url
trying to do some kind of vbscript or something. Apache of course just
spits it right out. I can't even IMAGINE having a real IIS machine open
to the internet for a real site. Its just not done. Don't let them, you
are their last hope; they know not what they do!

Which opens to the notion that Apache isn't really meant for windows,
and Linux or OS X or BSD or ANY unix is simply more stable and secure.
It makes business sense to use them because over the long haul you are
going to spend less time cleaning up after hackers, less time cleaning
up after crashes, etc. It is pure lunacy to go from a successful linux
site to a windows IIS site. It will not be as successful.

That said, with my low volume site, apache on windows server 2003 and
even win XP professional have run very nicely. That might be a nice
compromise for them.

Most likely no one is specifically targeting your machine. Everyone gets
these requests every day.

What's happening is that lots of IIS computers are still infected with
Nimda, Code Red, and SQL Server worms. Those computers have programs on
them that send out their mailicious URL's to random IP addresses in
hopes that one of those IP addresses will be home to an unpatched IIS
server.

If you ever use IIS you can get a tool (free) from MS called URLScan.
It's sort of like mod_rewrite in that it rejects all those strange
requests before they even get to IIS. Good tool. It's meant to only
allow well formed, valid http requests.

hth,
Chris.

That is so funny! :-)

I thought that's what the Web server was supposed to do.

Well, that flies in the face of the filter-pipeline model, doesn't it? One
program, one job.

The web server should do the right thing in the face of a malformed request.

The idea that something blocks malformed requests from reaching the web
server isn't a bad one at all. It ought to be an unnecessary one, but
that's different.

> First of all, security.. Windows is full of security holes

Did anyone mention the weak password encryption that cnet.com talked
about recently? If you get a copy of the password file, you can break
any MSW password in a few seconds. Macintosh passwords takes 4000 times
as long (or 4000 times as much memory). And Microsoft saying "Well, we
don't think it's a problem." or something like that.

At any rate, check the advisory lists, break them down by platform for
management. Make sure they don't overlook Mac OS X Server and openBSD.
Do some research -- the research your management is most likely to
understand is research that is done in house.

I can see it already....

"But Sir, if we do it like this it will make password easily..."

"Screw it", Says the Marketer/Manager/Head of sales, "we have more
important things to do." And slaps down a piece of paper marked in
big red ink "URGENT" over some barely legible small print that says
"Network security exploit: unable to implement BSD's tcp stack
properly"

...Meanwhile, another VIP type person is on his way to the poor

Hello All,

I am trying to create a small MySQL application using PHP. I have a
table of contacts with each record having over 30 fields. I have a
search page where a logged-in admin can search for a particular record
on the basis of certain parameters.

This is a sample code:

$sql1 = "SELECT * from `contacts` WHERE $where";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {

         // Alternate the bgcolor of each row for visibility
             ($even % 2) == 0 ? $bgcolor = "#EFEFEF" : $bgcolor =
"#eeffff";
                 $even = $even + 1;

         // print the actual row
                echo "<TR BGCOLOR=$bgcolor>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[company]</font></TD>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[name_1]</font></TD>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[phone_1]</font></TD>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[city]</font></TD>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[url]</font></TD>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[email_1]</font></TD>
     <TD align=\"center\"><font color=\"#333333\" size=\"1\"
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><a
href=\"profile.php\">Link</a></font></TD>
</TR>";

         // try to register the variable
           $_SESSION['link'] = $row[company];
         } // end while
        // print the end of the table
           echo "</TABLE></body></html>";

The above tables displays the results of the query in a table form
with only the main fields of the record. The last column of the table
contains a link to view the full-contents of the record. when the user
clicks this link, he will go to another script called
"profile.php" which will display all the contents of the record. In
order to do this I will need to store all the primary keys (in this
case the name of the company) of each record from the result set and
then use it to retrieve all the contents. I have been successful in
trying to do this for a single row (record) of the result by
registering it as an session variable called ['link']

I am at a loss to figure out how to store the names of the first column
of the result set i.e. the company name. Is it possible to create an
array of the session variable ['link'] ?? Another approach would be
to get the names of the companies as a separate query and register them
as an array of session variables.

any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks in advance.

in the href put

...<a href=\"profile.php?name=".$row['name']."\">...

Make a seperate array as you loop

$companies[$row['name']] = $row;

in your session store it as

$_SESSION['link'] = $companies;

You can then access it in profile php as

$details = $_SESSION['link']['$_GET['name']]

attached mail follows:

Are you talking about editing mutiple rows at the same time?
if so there is no efficient way to check what row has been edited and which
haven't. What I would is use HTML variable arrays for the names of the
fields.
example you have <input type='text' name='FirstName' size='20'
maxlength='20' value='Allison' > change the name attribute to name =
[data][$id][FirstName], so now you have all variables grouped (note the use
if a fixed index 'data', explination in foreach loop ). Then your script
will loop through the POST variables and do sequential UPDATES
example
foreach ($_POST[data] as $ID => $Field) {
$query = " Update tablename Set First = '$Field[FirstName'], Last =
'$Field[LastName'], .... Where id = $ID"; #List all fields in the set clause
mysql_query($query);

}

The reason for the initial 'data' index is so you can safely loop through a
cetrain part of the post array. If you left that out you would deal with
extra variables like submit, and other hidden fields.

It's a little hard to work with multi-dimensional arrays, so what I usually
do to help me is use the var_dump() on the passed POST array.
So take a look at var_dimp(), HTML with array indexes, the foreach loop
construct.

HOWEVER, if you need to just let the user edit 1 row, what you have is fine
all you have to do is pass the id number thourgh a HTML hidden field. So
when you pull the rest of the fields and spitting out HTML spit this out
somewhere in between the <form> tags :: <input type='hidden' name='id'
value='$id' >

Your page gives me "Warning: extract() expects first argument to be an

Hi all,
If I have the following string:

what is the $pattern should be so that in $regs I have

$regs[1] == "%ANS[1]";
$regs[2] == "%ANS[2]";
$regs[3] == "%ANS[10]";
...

In fact, the $pattern should general enough that $regs will be filled with

%ANS[X]

where X could be any number in any digits (eg. 1,2,10,100,23, etc).

Thanks for any help.

Oh, now your making it more complicated..

preg_match_all('/(%ANS\[[0-9]+\])/', $str, $matches);

And is tested:

Who cares where the cookie was made. If the page is on the same site,
it'll be sent the cookie. Next time try something before posting.

I'm not sure what you mean that PHP should automatically know what goes
into the database, but if you post a detailed description of the
problem you're facing, chances are that someone (or several someones,
more likely) will provide suggestion to help you out.

Feel free to post details if you would like a hand with it.

auto-populate data, as in putting in mock data depending on column type? or
transferring data from another data source.
If the former, you can look at 3rd party sources (I think I saw one from
winSQL), if the latter you can convert any data source to a (tab, comma,
etc.) delimeted file which you can load into MySQL through your own PHP
script or I'm sure there is some php script out there that loads in CVS
files.

I wrote the code.

Here's what's wrong:

You probably have a misconfigured PHP.ini file (it's really common). You
need to set the variable in your php.ini file to false like this:
register_syntax_checking = "false";

That way PHP won't need to perform any syntax checking on the php code.
I've found that the PHP scripts are roughly 15 times faster.

Mind you, you really have to know what you're doing before you start editing
the php.ini file.

In fact I recommend that you don't change your php.ini file without backing
it up first.

and if you've gotten this far, then please don't change your php.ini file.

On Jul 24, 2003, "Matt Palermo" claimed that:

When you converted it to PHP did you include the <form> tags? I received a
similar error until I added the <form> tags. Other than that, try adding a
name value to the form and change 'document.forms[0].action = where;' to
'document.form_name.action = where;'

Except for the fact that I don't have this.php, it appeared to work for me
after the addition of the form tags as posted.

No need to echo out the statement, better to use this method so you
dont have to escape each and every " existing:

// leave php to output html ?>
<A href="javascript:go_where_my_variable_says('this.php');">this
page</a>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
<?php // now back in php mode

With that being said I dont see a php problem here.

attached mail follows:

Okay, I must be missing the totally obvious here...so if someone would be
able to help a poor newbie along the way I'd be most grateful.

The system I'm running this on is, in case it matters, WinXP with IIS 5.1 and
PHP 4.3.2.

Anyway, I'm trying to add a form to upload files on one of my pages. I only
have one small problem, which is when my script is trying to move the uploaded
file to its permanent place.

The relevant part of the script looks like this:

$uploaddir = 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\pix';
$filnamn=$_FILES['userfile']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploaddir .
$filnamn)) {
                    print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.";
        } else {
                    print "An error occured during upload.";
        }

Now, this works partly. It uploads the file. However, it doesn't end up in the
directory called pix as I want it to. No, what happens is that the
file gets named with pix as the first part of the filename. Like if the
file is called pic1.jpg it ends up as C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\pixpic1.jpg

I thought of just adding a backslash at the very end of the $uploaddir
variable but that just leaves me with this error-message instead:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\alterdb\upload2.php on line 25

Line 25 happens to be that $filnamn line you can see above.

I'm at a loss as to what could be the problem so any suggestions to where to
look?

Thanks in advance

Since a ' comes right after the \ it is escaping it. Instead escape the \
so it is interpreted as \ and not the escape character.
$uploaddir = 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\pix\\';

It's looking for a \ character or a \ character followed by the letter n
anywhere within the string $username.

I hope that isn't looking for a Carriage Return, cause it never will...

Just in case it is.... strstr($username, "\n");

This thread's too long. I'm getting confused on who exactly asked the
question..

My Take on thi

/snip
what if the code logic requires that there is some output sent to the
browser.
/snip

In my case I use a Refresh-redirect. I've posted my code on this on this
thread. The way I'm doing it is like this.. (logic)

The header_refresh_html will redirect to "home.php" if user is already
logged in but not before issuing a warning to the user to logout before
logging in again.

The Error msg will be display WAY.. before the refresh/redirect takes place.
(2 seconds) Maybe if through the internet it's not so great,but on my
intranet, 2 secs is long enough for the user to view the message.

====login.php========
if ( check_if_authenticated() )
{
        header_refresh_html("home.php");
        trigger_error(ERROR_USER_ALREADY_AUTHENTICATED, WARNING);
        exit;
}
else
{
        //display login form/msg
}

hello everyone,

Can somebody tell me why meta-refresh is not preferred to do re-directs
?
I know Javascript is browser dependent, so its undependable.

using headers in php requires that no output is sent to the browser,
what if the code logic requires that there is some output sent to the
browser. I am sorry if this is a repeat question because someone
earlier did mention abt output buffering as a way around.

Should be:
'%ANS\[[0-9]+\]'

note also the single quote to avoid needing to avoid escaping the escape:

what you have i think would match:
%ANS9
or
%ANS+

I'm not sure how the nested character classes work with ereg.

Also I would look at the PCRE functions, they are in general faster
than the standard ereg* functions. Unless you require a POSIX
compatible script.

HTH,

Hm..

so what kind of environment are you in CGI?

Is that the exact text that it is returning?
ie execscriptdir/php.cgi

Oh and one last quetion, have you tried using getenv('PHP_SELF')?

I'm not sure if PHP_SELF will make a difference, but i would try it
anyway.

Was --disable-url-fopen-wrapper compiled in php?

You can check your phpinfo() output in that.

unset($myStuff);
or
$myStuff = array();

I usually prefer the empty array method vs. using unset for coding
things like:

$arr = array();
func_to_mod_array($arr);

foreach($arr as $key => val) {
//....
}

If I used the unset function I'd have to check to see if the
