You can use JavaScript. Something like: form.submit Google "javascript form submit"

Did you set the headers of the page to display an image type and not just text/hml?

Well, we use a lot of joins across multiple tables and there isn't an easy way through Propel to join tables with no PK so manual SQL is the easiest way to go. A lot of what we do is beyond me but all of our senior devs say that there is no way to do what we need through Propel. So unfortunately, we've had to break out of the framework more time then we would have liked.

PHP in a Nutshell, very good.

Unfortunately, HTML does not require either ' or ". So you have to compensate for that too.

At my job, we have used the Symfony framework to build a (more like 3) rather LARGE apps. We had to basically build massive extensions to the code such that it's almost a whole new framework. Anywho, I was just wondering what you all though of it as far as usability, practicality, comparison to other dev frameworks out there... As for me, I think it's just so so. I think YAML was a bad choice for config files and the propel DB layer is too restrictive with PK's and such. We had to revert back to manual SQL too many times to count. Though I do very much like the general organization and file structure of everything. Easy to know exactly where you need to go to fix something. B

Hey all, I've been working on a class called ripCURL that is built upon the cURL libraries for PHP. Basically, the class makes it easy to automatically navigate through web sites and store/parse the content. I built it on my on time (so that my evil corp. can't steal the rights to it) to be used at work. However it seems very useful for integrating multiple sites together and automatically retrieving content for live updates, DB storage, etc. Please have a look and let me know of any bug/funny things that occur. The code is located at http://ripcurl.sdsustudent.com or at Soruceforge.net under ripcurl. The tutorial and documentation is at the first link in PDF or .doc format. The basic structure is like so: [code] <?php require_once('ripcurl.class.php'); $rip = new ripcurl(); $rip->ripRun('http://www.somesite.com', 1); echo $rip->getRawHtml(); ?>[/code] Thanks, Brandon C.

I think you would be better off using preg_replace() and doing something like this: [code] <?php $stopwords = array('and', 'or', 'i'); $search = $_POST['search']; foreach($stopwords as $word){     preg_replace("/\b$word\b/i", '', $search); } echo $search; //Clean search string ?> [/code] I that will work for words within the string but I'm not sure about starting or ending of the string...maybe something like: preg_replace("/(^|\b)$word($|\b)/i", '', $search); instead...but I don't know if that will work. You may need something like a lookbehind or lookahead. Someone here that's better with preg expressions will be able to help you out. Or post this in the regex forum.

Also, where are you setting the $name variable? Shouldn't matter as all results should return if it has no value...just wondering though.

Never worked with phplist but you need a mail server running on the same machine...something like sendmail. Do you have that (permission to send mail from that server, etc.)?

What does the array have to do with the file? Does the array have the file contents (guessing not since PHP can't find the file)? Or does the array have file names? Some code might also help. What's in the uploaded file?

This.. <?php getImages('$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/domains/[domain.com]/public_html/headers', 'myShow');?> needs to look like this... <?php getImages($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/domains/[domain.com]/public_html/headers", 'myShow');?>

Need a little more explanation...

It is with curl if your getting errors from curl. You need to tell curl not to verify the host or peer... CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0 CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0

Sorry, posted that before you wrote last two questions. Do you want to know how to get from the $data results to readable text inside the file? You have to first decide how you want the data to be...tab delimited, comma, etc. Then just cycle through your results and build it. foreach($results as $result){     $data .= $result[0] . "\t" . $result[1] . "\t\n"...etc; }

Maybe something like: [code] <?php $sql = "Your statement here"; $results = $db->query($sql); foreach($results as $result){     //format into whatever type file here....tab, comma, etc     $data = ....... } $file = "/tmp/".md5(time().rand(5, 100)) . ".txt"; //get unique filename...might be overkill $fh = fopen($file, 'w'); if(fwrite($fh, $data)){     echo "<a href='$file'>Download results</a>"; } fclose($fh); ?> [/code] Then just clean out the /tmp directory whenever. Though be careful where you create the file. Be sure Apache can access it.

I think he means &$value usage. The & in this case means to pass a value by reference, not by value. Typically used in a functions declaration.

PHP is a server side language. You can't use it to grab files from a visitors computer unless they submit the files to you through form data. Might be some kind of javascript thing to do that but I have never seen it.

Well, in the code it looked like there were some session variables being set but I'm guessing that was Dreamweaver code too if you weren't aware of using sessions. Sessions are used to maintain data across pages during a visitors stay on the site. As far as work, I actually can't take on any more jobs at the moment. Awfully busy as it is. Thanks for the offer though. I'm sure questions posted here will get answered...eventually. Thanks

Yucky...Dreamweaver code.... 1) I don't see where you are even setting the $url to which you are redirecting the person to. 2) Do something like this: [code] <?php if (!isset($_SESSION)) {   session_start(); } $loginUsername = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; mysql_select_db($database_testconn1, $testconn1); $sql = "SELECT username, password, url, access FROM users WHERE username='$loginUsername' AND password='$password' LIMIT 1"; $user = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query($sql, $testconn1)); if(count($user) > 0){     header('Location: '.$user['url']); }else{     header('Location: login.php'); } ?> [/code] Might be missing some session settings but that can be thrown in there anywhere. It's short and to the point....should work, unless I made a syntax error or something like that (which I probably did). Also, you should be filtering your $_POST stuff.

Whenever I process directories I always test for . and .. and simply continue; past them. They will always generate errors so it's best get warned when you need to and prevent the ones you know will always give errors.

I tried the exact string and urldecode() turned it into a "/"...Not sure whats wrong... Where are you using path information in a URL string...I'm not seeing it in the code. I only see you outputting the results.

Looks like you are using "\" instead of "/" to end your HTML tags. Probably getting turned into a tab (\t) somewhere along the line which would make all <\td>'s look like <  d>.
