try:

your terminal shell is case sensitive. If that doesn't work do an
'echo $PATH' and make sure your php binary is in one of those
directories.
I love OSX even though I don't use it :)

I've got a site with a login authentication script in a file called
login.php. Every page has a simple session check on top of it, as well
as line that captures the name of the file the user is trying to view.
The idea is that if the user tries to go straight to an inside page
without logging in, they get sent to the login page (index.php) with the
variable $file marking the page they wanted to view. When they log in,
the $file variable is sent to login.php and (if $file is set) login.php
returns them to the page they were trying to view using a simple header
redirect: header("Location: $file");
Problem: instead of sending them to the page they wanted to view, they
get sent to this URL: login.php?file=/dir/file_name.php?v=123
What's going on here? Why doesn't "Location: $file" return the contents
of $file? The session check as well as login.php code are below. I'm
stumped here -- thanks!

If this is on the login.php, $file has been set here. That will overwrite
your $file paramater (assuming your using register globals.) Thus
you get your behaviour of url:
login.php?file=/dir/file_name.php?v-123

The Location: header requires a correctly formed URL, ie http://...

What do you mean? Have you checked that $file contains what you expect it to
contain? Putting $file inside double-quotes doesn't magically transform its
contents.

Well, this isn't the case. You see, neither RFC 2109 nor RFC 2965 are perfectly
in synchronization with the implementation of cookies. The best specification
to reference is Netscape's original, because this is what the browsers adhered
to originally, and little has changed since. As mentioned in the PHP manual,
the specification can be found here:
http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
Also, if you will run a quick test, you will observe the behavior I described
in my earlier message. I was not making it up. :-)
Hope that helps.

Hi,
have around 20 sessions setup and want to delete one of them...
eg:
I have the following sessions:
one
two
three
four
five
etc
I want to delete "four", what should i use? am puzzled by the manual which
offers these two options:
unset($four);
session_unregister($four);
which is better? I am starting my sessions with this kind of statement:
$_SESSION['blah'] = $_GET['blah'];
Also any idea how many sessions I can have "on" at one time? or is there no
limit? I couldnt find anything on that in the manual.
Thanks,

unset($_SESSION['blah']);
unset($_SESSION['four']);
Remember: don't use session_register, session_unregister, or
session_is_registered when using the $_SESSION var.

my guess is limit on file size on system. although that isn't an
authoritative answer.

Hey justin,
well, i just got done toying around with a little function that can
do almost all of what you want.
With a little regex magic and the nice little function
preg_replace_callback() I made it almost 100% combatible to html.
It will choke on some badly formated attributes though, thats the
only thing to get fixed.
Here is the code and test:

If you have enough space, you could download the tidy binary yourself and
stick it in ~/bin/tidy. It's about 155Kb. Then, you can do whatever you
want with it.

Well you've left out some important information so I'm going to use my
detective skills here.
1. Are you printing this text to the page?
Or are you...
2. displaying it within in another (or same) textarea?
If you're doing #1, the reason is because the browser doesn't interpret
\n as a new line on the screen, only in the source code. Therefore you
need to send your data through nl2br() first. That will replace all the
\n into <br>.
If you're doing #2 you shouldn't have any problems because the textarea
treats \n as a newline unlike case #1. If indeed you are doing #2 and
you are still getting bad results you're probably doing something
somewhere else, in which case you should submit some code.

I have an inherit problem where a large portion of my user base are mac
users (designers and musicians). I've tested every WYSISYG editor I
can find, and only one of them (editize.com) works with macs -- and
even then, it's not particularly stable at all, and requires a very new
version of Java installed. Furthermore, whilst I don't have a problem
paying for something that works, the asking price of US$180/domain
*seems* a little high IMHO.
I'd also question how clean and standards compliant the source code it
produces is... I'm aiming for XHTML 1.0 strict at the moment, with a
heavy reliance on site-wide CSS, rather than an in-line style of
mark-up and styling.
But, it may end up being the only option :)

Hi Curt,
No I didn't see a post about space on /tmp... Using df it shows the file
system to only be about 70% full, so there's plenty of space there. Did
you mean something else?
Any other thoughts on where to look?
Thanks,

You could use an iframe or you could turn on output buffering, when
output buffering is enabled you can send headers after normal output has
been sent. Just do ob_start(); at the top of your script. Not the most
elegant way of doing it but it would work and not require you to use an
iframe.

hi there , i have an issue trying to split content into pages , we have a
popup with content and a background image with a set height , when there is
more content the background repeats , theoretically i'd want to split the
content into pages after a given length or line length or where it meets
the background image height how can i do this ?
attached mail follows:
It depends on how complex your "content" is.
I've had a few unsuccessful attempts at this as it gets too messy. Assuming
your "content" contains html (like news), it means you have to ignore tags,
but your tags may have images, in them, etc etc, further adding to your
alignment woes. Also, splitting tags may mean that a <tag> may be without a
</tag> on the same page. Doing it automatically is just too cumbersome.
One technique I employ now is using a <!--PAGE--> comment tag inside the
html content, and then split the page using this delimiter.
It works quite well, allows me to break within a table or if the table runs
over, it means I have to close the table and open another one.
Ultimately, it's not ideal as it requires manual labour, but if you're
dealing with HTML content, that's the only way. It also allows you to
remassage your pages relatively easily if you're swapping over templates.
The "proper" way to do it is if you're original content is XML, then you
would write XSLT to chunk up the pages. I just assume not because it's
unlikely that you would.
This problem of decoupling presentation with representation is hard to avoid
if your original content is already coupled to pre-existing presentation.

This can be easy.
1. Make sure the content does not adjust itself based on the size of the
browser window. That is to say that the space that contains the content
should be a fixed width.
2. Then you need to calculate how many words you can legitimately fit
into this fixed space without going over.
If you 150 words will fit in the space but go right up to the very edge
and are almost spilling into a new "page" you should pull the number of
words back to 120 or something to try and make sure that the text will
not spill over.
You can be more precise if you use a fixed width font like Courier New.
If you use a variable width font (not sure if that is the technical
term) you'll have to do a little more guessing because 10 i's are not
the same width as 10 w's.

The primitive, basic way to do this is:
1. grab the entire document and explode it on " "
2. determine how many pages there are
3. display the first page (120 words)
4. on the next page start back at 1 except when you get to #3 go to #5
instead.
5. display the next 120 words by multiplying the page number by 120 and
continuing until pageNumber*120+120. For example, you're on page 2, and
your showing 120 words per page. That would be 2*120+120. Words shown on
page 2 are 240 through 360.
6. continue until all pages are done.
Make sense?
Chris.

you again.

Is there a reason this can't be solved with a CSS background-repeat: repeat-y;
? Or is download time of individual pages an issue?
This is really a client-side issue. The math is going to vary depending on
each user's settings- which font is used, the size of the font, random
browser stupidity, etc. Even if you try to specify such things, you'll have
issues. If you try to use a specific font, what if the user doesn't have it?
What if they have vision problems and have ordered fonts to be larger than
usual? IMHO it would be better to just use CSS and put everything on the same
page

But the problem with this is that people don't like really long pages.
It makes them (I've read this in a few places and I know I feel this
way) feel like it's going to take forever to read a really long article
instead of maybe five "screen length" pages.
I think pages are a good idea for long articles but I agree that it's a
sticky situation to try and accomate everyone, especially with the
original posters requirements (wants more than one page because of the
background).

Excellent point. A compromise, then?
How about using the background-repeat: repeat-y; and not trying to do any
math. Just decide how long the content should be, and wrap the page at the
next sentence. That way, you make the end users happy, but don't risk an ugly
page. For 150 characters, (untested)
<style type="text/css">
background-repeat: repeat-y;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<?php
$x = 150;
while ( $c != '.' )
$c = substr($str, $x, 1);
echo substr($str, 0, $x);
echo "</p><p><a href=\"popup.php?startchar=$x\">Next page</a></p>";
?>
</body>

your example doesnt work , and the whole purpose of this is because the

Hi,
I have a set of checkboxes (around 38) which will be sent to me via a
post(eg: <input name="noPlatform" type="checkbox" id="noPlatform"
value="1>)...if the checkbox is checked then session "noPlatform" should be
created...AND only the checked ones should be registered all others should
be unset.
one way to do this would be to something like this:
$noPlatform = (isset($_POST['noPlatform'])) ? 1 : 0;
then set the session or via using a if and isset...
but that would mean doing that for the whole 38 fields...I think I have seen
something like this done via a loop (for, while or foreach or a combination)
but cant find it in my old mail or the archive.
Thanks in advance,
-Ryan

Well you could do
foreach ( $_POST as $var )
${$var} = ( isset($_POST[$var]) ? 1 : 0);
but that's really sloppy. If possible, I'd go more for something like
$vars = Array(
'noPlatform',
'littlePlatform',
'lotsaPlatform',
'yoMommasaPlatform');
foreach ( $vars as $v ) {
${$v} = ( isset($_POST[$v]) ? 1 : 0 );
}

Hi
try this:
html code for all of checkboxes:

php code:

foreach($_POST['ch_box'] as $ch_box_id => $ch_box_value) {

I would like to create a script that reads a file name that follows a
specific format and have it parsed into 2 variables. The format is as
follows:
cli_info-ACCOUNT-USERNAME.dat
The two variables that I would like to get out of this are the ACCOUNT and
USERNAME. The rest of the information can be discarded. I can get the
entire filename into a variable, but I am not sure how to parse it properly.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,

One method would be to use the preg_split():
list($extra, $account, $username) =
split('/[-.]/', 'cli_info-ACCOUNT-USERNAME.dat', 3);
or a a preg_match():
preg_match('/cli_info-([^-]+)-([^.]+)\.dat/', $str, $matches);
$account = $matches[1];
$username = $matches[2];
This is assumint that account wont contain a '-' and username wont
contain a '.'.

I'm writing a script to be run from the command line. It controls my DAT
autoloader (tape changer) and runs tar so that I can automate my backups.
With the -M option, tar will prompt for a new tape when the current tape is
full. How can I get the signal from tar that the tape needs to be changed?
Is there another way to interact with external programs other than, exec,
backticks, etc.? I'm running 4.3.2-cli on FreeBSD with POSIX and pcntl

It sounds like you are wanting to write an interactive shell script. If this is
the case (e.g., I didn't misunderstand), you should probably use expect instead
of PHP.
Hope that helps.

Have you checked out the -F option for tar? It may prove helpful:
"If you want more elaborate behavior than this, give tar the
--info-script=script-name (--new-volume-script=script-name, -F
script-name) option. The file script-name is expected to be a program
(or shell script) to be run instead of the normal prompting procedure.
When the program finishes, tar will immediately begin writing the next
volume."

Hi all,
I am new to PHP and just tested out using NuSoap to query Google database.
The code is written by Harish Kamath. However, it doesn't work without error

nusoap.php class file and put it in the same directory with nusearch.php,
which query Goodgle database and I have Google's licence key for its APIs.

All,
I came across the following inconsistency between PHP 4 and PHP 5 Build
2195(Jul 24 2003 20:10:21). The error makes sense. I am just curious
about the version inconsistency. Is this due to a change in PHP 5 (as part
of the class enhancements) or is it an oversight?
For my information, please advise.
==Example==
I can initiate a class before it is defined in version 4, but not in 5.
<?
//filename.php
//you can initiate the class before it is defined
$page = new PageClass;
class PageClass{ blah...blah...blah...; }
?>
will work in PHP 4, but will generate an 'Underfine Class' error in PHP 5.
In PHP 5, the above must be written as
<?
//class must be defined first
class ClassName { blah...blah...; }
//class must be defined before it is initiated
$page = new ClassName;
?>
This error makes sense, as you cannot use something that doesn't exist.
I'm mostly curious about the inconsistency between the two versions.
This is not a big issue, but I am curious? Any comments?
