Re: Select a record where value contains substring

Give me a real-world example of what you want because you're sort of all over the place on how you want the query to work. You really only have a few options

-- LIKE matches some_inner_string_here
WHERE string LIKE '%inner_string%'
-- LIKE matches whole_string
WHERE string LIKE 'whole_string'
-- WHERE IN matches a group of things
WHERE character IN ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D')

Re: how to do interactive form validation

Place an empty span next to the inputs and then instead of alert("Your blah met our requirements."); do something like

<input id="passField" name="passField" type="text" /><span></span>

var checkdiv = document.getElementById('passField').nextSibling;
checkdiv.innerHTML = "<img src='somecheckpassimage.jpg' alt='OK' title='OK' />";

Re: Help of Script

You can't block the user from doing anything in PHP or Javascript. You have to use a platform language like C/C++/Java/etc. I will repeat myself, you will NEVER, EVER be able to control a user's machine from the browser whether that be Javascript, or PHP, or ASP, or anything else.

Re: send email from localhost to other email accounts

Im not sure but I think you cant send mail from a home made server like apache, etc.
I guess if you wanted to you might have to hand out some cash and make your localhost a full fledge server, which you may or may not be inclined on doing.

All you need is to set up an SMTP server. Most linux distros come with 'sendmail' installed which is probably the most popular. I have no idea how to do it in Windows.

Re: Using AJAX results in PHP form

this.options[ this.selectedIndex ].value

is exactly the same as

this.value

when applied to a select box.

In getstates.php, your do{}while(); should be just while(){}. And remove the mysql_fetch_assoc after your mysql_query call.

<input name='<?PHP echo $currentrow;?>_Zip'." type='text' value='' size='10' maxlength='10' />

Remove the ." after _Zip', so

<input name='<?PHP echo $currentrow;?>_Zip' type='text' value='' size='10' maxlength='10' />

There's a lot of other stuff. for instance, why did you write your own AJAX connection library instead of using jQuery or Prototype or something else?

It doesn't always have to be EOT, it can be any string as long as the end is the same. Heredoc is used over quotes strings because you don't have to worry about escaping anything save $. In 5.3 PHP is getting nowdoc which is heredoc but wont parse anything, including variables.

Re: PHP XML DOM Get Childnodes and Attributes

@Josh, PHP 6 doesn't exist yet and wont for a long while :)

For lonestar. getElementsByTagName returns a DOMNodeList which, when iterated over, each entry is a DOMNode which can act as a DOMElement which has the function getAttribute($attr_name); So you can do (in theory, see php.net/DOM):

$elemlist = $someDom->getElementsByTagName('link');
foreach($elemlist as $elem) {
  var_dump($elem);
}

Re: help on php-mysql oop

Hi.
Sure, I can give you an example.
It's pretty basic at this point, but I assume you are going to be adding your own methods to it.
Note that I don't store the actual password used for the connection, but rather a SHA1 has of it. (For security reasons)
And I don't allow the outside code to alter the stored database connection information. (No reason to allow that, really)
Also note that I use the constructor to connect to the database.
If you want the class to support reusing an instance for multiple connections, you will need to create open() and close() methods.
<?php
class MySQL_Database
{
    /** The database link,.
     * Used by the code to execute queries and such **/
    private $dbLink;

    /** Connection property values **/
    private $host; // Host name. E.g. "localhost"
    private $user; // Name of the MySQL user
    private $dbName; // Name of the database to use
    private $password; // A hash of the user's password

    /**
     * The constructor.
     * Establishes a connection to the database.
     * @param string $host
     * @param string $user
     * @param string $password
     * @param string $dbName
     */
    public function __construct($host, $user, $password, $dbName)
    {
        // Connect
        $this->dbLink = mysql_connect($host, $user, $password);
        if(!$this->dbLink) {
            throw new Exception("Connection to database failed.");
        }
        if(!mysql_select_db($dbName)) {
            throw new Exception("Failed to set the database.");
        }

        // Set getter values.
        $this->host = $host;
        $this->user = $user;
        $this->dbName = $dbName;

        // Create a hash of the password and store it.

Re: How to resize images

I do not understand why we (the programmers) use unnecessary huge buggy codes of our own for resizing images??!! As we've phpThumb, custom image resizing functions are just a history. Then why do we manually write those codes again and make our script buggy!
Yes I know what I am saying. I was using my own codes for image resizing and one day I got problem with corrupted images and got no solution. Then I used phpThumb and the problem is fixed..
To know more details please visit this

Because that's how programmers work. phpThumb didn't magically appear, there was some dumb guy/gal saying "Well I don't like that library, I'm going to write my own and name it phpThumb." It just so happens other people started using it. So, of course, there are still programmers that say "Well, I don't like that library I'm going to write my own."

Most of the time it's because in programmers' heads their code rocks and everyone else's sucks.

Re: PHP Code for Mailer

Hmmm, just something to say, I have never seen anyone user the round brackets to take post data...
you were usering $_POST('egnejg');
it should be $_POST;
And you can't use EDO twice I think you must use a different three letters for instance FOD...

Yeah $_POST('something') would throw an error saying that a Function name must be a string, so switch to []. As for the HEREDOC, you can use the same delimiter as many times as you wish.

There are a few things that dont look right but :

- Check your names of the $_POST fields as they contain bad naming conventions
- Last line should be "echo $theResults;" no quotes
See that gets anything on the page?

Re: File upload issue!

It seems to be a max execution time error. I got some other error messages as well for the image resizing but I always get these but they resize anyhow.
Just changed the max execution and input times to zero for now as that will give it unlimited and will allow me to find out if this is indeed the issue.

If it were a maximum execution time issue you would get "Maximum execution time of X exceeded by FILE. This is indeed a puzzling question.

Re: Retrieving changing remote content?

Yep make another file called page.php then use JavaScript and AJAX to retrieve it once your document is ready.
In this page.php you use file_get_contents() to retrieve the files contents.

Note that you cannot use AJAX to fetch content from a domain other than the one the script runs on. The browser will not let you execute cross-domain AJAX requests.

Re: Can't find line breaks

What the code does is reads in the file into an array with each index being a line. What the loop does is goes through each line and checks to see if it starts with your first key which is a series of numbers followed by |. So 3335| or 67341|. If it doesn't match this pattern then it is assumed that it is part of the last row so it is appended to the last row and it continues from there.

Re: Can't find line breaks

This is a bit of a tricky one but you could do something along these lines:

$somefile = file('blah');

$rows = array();
$row_counter = 0;
foreach($somefile as $line => $content) {
  if(!preg_match('/^[0-9]+?\|/', $content)) {
    $rows[$row_counter] .= $content;
  } else {
    $rows[++$row_counter] = $content;
  }
}

$rows should contain your corrected array
