I don't know javascript but I'm curious if someone might know a way to use javascript (or some other method) to set another input field - EXPDATE - to contain the value "MONTH &amp; YEAR" combined prior to submitting the form? ... and in this case the form is going outside my site and other reasons so it's best to set this up prior to submitting the form. -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek dealtek&lt; at &gt;gmail.com [db-3] </pre> dealTek 2013-05-25T20:33:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229244 <pre>Hi, i'm facing a problem and i don't know where to start and in fact, how to do it. Situation: Users of my website should be able to save their resume files + cover letters on my webserver. problem: how to make their file SECURED from any hack ? I mean only file owner and web administrator (so in this case... myself) should have access to those files. never user B should be able to access, read or download files of user A. my guess: i was thinking to store files outside public_html folder, in the following way: /resumes/user A/resume A /resumes/user A/cover letter A /resumes/user B/resume B - US /resumes/user B/resume B - ES /resumes/user B/cover letter B Questions: 1. how can i allow user to have access to folder/files outside public_html ? 2. how can i secure that user A has access to his own files ONLY ? i searched on internet for some help but i did not find anything really revelent...only theory and no really in details. I need your help. thx. </pre> Rafnews 2013-05-25T11:38:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229236 <pre>Hello list, I have a php script that creates a variable number of forms based on a $_POST variable from a preceding page. It then takes the data input into the form and neatly packages the result into an email sent to an email address (eventually to be a ticketing system). Almost everything on the page works great. The only thing I can't seem to get working is how to verify that the fields in the form are not left empty using javascript. The syntax I'm using seems like it should work, however when I leave one or more of the fields empty, the email gets sent anyway with the missing data. Here's the app I was hoping someone might be able to suggest a successful approach: &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;LDAP Form&lt;/title&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $requestor_email = $_POST['requestor_email']; $num_forms = $_POST['num_forms']; } echo "&lt;center&gt;You will be creating $num_forms accounts today.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; for($counter = 1;$counter&lt;=$num_forms;$counter++) { echo '&lt;</pre> Tim Dunphy 2013-05-25T00:07:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229230 <pre>Hello, I am usin json regulary, but in one script I have mistery: echo($decrypted_data)."\n\n"; var_dump(json_decode($decrypted_data, true)); echo "\n"; var_dump(json_decode('{"result_ok":true,"result_message":null,"client_name":"Radek Krej\u010da"}', true)); I got: {"result_ok":true,"result_message":null,"client_name":"Radek Krej\u010da"} NULL array(3) { ["result_ok"]=&gt; bool(true) ["result_message"]=&gt; NULL ["client_name"]=&gt; a" } string(13) "Radek KrejÄ You can see, that in $decrypted_data, is stored valid (by my opinion) json data. If I use this variable in json_decode, I got "null". And if I manualy use data displayed on screen, I got valid array. Where I do mistake? If I remove client_name (so no utf8 is in json data), situation is the same.

It's working on the other machines and loading all the extra modules happily. </pre> Lester Caine 2013-05-21T19:08:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229200 <pre>I registered a SMS web service and I have username and password and there are methods as follow which I can use: balance receive send send to all send advanced status status advanced suppose I have a form and I will get the phone number from user also I have user name,pass and url of the web service like $phone['number'],$user,$pass,$url I don't know what exactly I should do to force the php code read from the functions of the web service does including the url enough?

The problem is that when you read a ticket, you see each ticket entry (row in DB) but they tend to accumulate the previous entries text since the customer replied to an email. A thread if you will. I'm trying to strip out the "duplicate parts" (cosmetically on the front end via a checkbox, in case the support person needs to see the actual unaltered version such as in cases where the algorithm may be too aggressive and rip out important pieces inadvertently). One challenge I'm running into are situations like this, where the text is embedded but has been slightly altered.

I feel puzzled about this feature. Even if the current session id is identical to the one one being set, session_start will send a new cookie. I want to know why session_start behave in this way.

I have read various things about them, but I'm curious at this point which would be best to learn for the present and future. I'm usually working on small to medium size projects. I understand that PDO has an extra abstraction layer so it can work with / convert to other databases like oracle and others fairly easily, but some have said that PDO can be a bit slower the MySQLi? So I would really like to hear opinions on the best choices of either MySQLi or PDO. Also I'm also trying to learn OOP, so I'm looking for a very good working PDO and/or mysqli database class - to get started with, that has all the basic needs like UPDATE - INSERT - DELETE - QUERY etc. That would be very helpful.

Mostly needed for basic pages, but I also have some longer reports (more than one 8.5" x 11" page) and it would be nice if the pdf was able to split it up without losing part of the font when crossing page boundaries etc... -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek dealtek&lt; at &gt;gmail.com [db-3] </pre> dealTek 2013-05-18T01:05:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229125 <pre>Hey Folks, I'm looking to refine my PHP 5 OOP skills.

I'm running on a Mac with a Centos VM (via VirtualBox). Was running from from our SVN server. New repo, now running from GIT. The checkout is on my local machine (using Netbeans, LESS, etc.) The VM is running Apache and PHP V5.4.15 During the move, I've got some permissions issues, which I simply don't understand enough to a) resolve myself, b) know what to ask for to get the right help in solving the issue. I've been told that the permissions on my mac via the shared folder through VirtualBox to the Centos setup is where my problem lies. But I don't know. Is there anyone who can give me definite help here? I can manually create the directories, but that's just daft. Nothing LOOKS any different between the two repos, but I don't know how to tell beyond comparing ls outputs. Any help would be good. </pre> Richard Quadling 2013-05-16T14:33:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229118 <pre>I'm having a problem with webtrees ... http://webtrees.net/ My copy is running on http://webtrees.lsces.org.uk and you will see that it is throwing an error relating to the session handling. Running Apache 2.2.22, PHP5.4.14, MySQL 5.5.31 ( http://lsces.org.uk/phpinfo.php ) If I comment out the session_set_save_handler() section of session.php then I can log in and use the site. Have tried reworking that as a SessionHandlerInterface without any success. As far as I can see, the 'write' function of the handler is not being called and while there are various notes about problems with PHP5.4 blocking access to the write and close functions, none of the fixes I have tried have resulted in a working setup. Anybody seen this problem with PHP5.4? http://lsces.org.uk/hg/webtrees/file/dcf6ff358108/includes/session.php#l334 is the code that seems to be failing. </pre> Lester Caine 2013-05-16T08:43:34 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.general/229106 <pre>Hello mates, Perhaps this seems to be a silly question, but it is not to me, here is the scenario: I know how to import CSV files with PHP to a MySQL database, the thing is, that CSV file is automatically feed by a third-party application, I want to do something to add just the new records, not all the records again. Any idea or example, will be really appreciated. Thanks! </pre> Carlos Sura 2013-05-11T04:57:08 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.php.general
