i was able to figure it out ... i used $cg->param('name of hidden field') after messing with code.

I have a perl script that runs in cgi-bin directory. I would like to pass a hidden form value to it and assign it a variable in the cgi file. example $i++ while (-e "$c->{target_dir}/$fn$i$ext" && $c->{copy_mode} eq 'Rename'); #needs to be modded to something like $i++ while (-e "$my_hidden_form_field/$fn$i$ext" && $c->{copy_mode} eq 'Rename'); can anyone help a brotha out? Thanks in advance.

let's say I have a string like 'abdc' I would like to return every possible arrangement of that string. Like boxing a lottery number. so the result would be something like array('abcd', 'acdb', 'acbd', 'adbc', 'adcb', and so on ) Is there an easy way to do this, or will have just have use like a ton of loops to make it work? it doesn't not have to be in any special order. i just needs to return all possible configurations of the string. Thanks in advance. P

you pretty much answered your own question in your post .. but here goes. 1. fill out the form and POST that form to the captcha page 2. display the captcha information 3. Add the previous pages POST information to the captcha form 4. send all POST information to the confirmation page. 5. send email if everything checks out. or you could just use a simple "captcha" like field: <label for="check">What is color of this text?:</label> <input type="text" value="answer here" name="check" id="check" /> if would not be AS secure, but at least it is checking for some kind of human interaction.

are you sure all the contents are files? you may need to put something like foreach($filenames as $value){ if(!is_dir('/Library/WebServer/Documents/RandysWebsite/gallery/' . $foldername . '/' . $value)) { copy('/Library/WebServer/Documents/RandysWebsite/gallery/' . $foldername . '/' . $value, '/Library/WebServer/Documents/RandysWebsite/' . $foldername . '/images/' . $value); } } also I cleaned up the code a bit, you had some quotes in there you didn't really need. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.is-dir.php

I was just PM'ed on this post about wether or not I found a solution. well ... I did. So to complete the post .. here is the answer I came up with. function get_status($jobnumber) { //echo 'Processing Job: ' . $jobnumber .'<br/>'; $conn = ssh2_connect($this->_host); ssh2_auth_password($conn,$this->_user,$this->_pass)or die("Cannot Connect"); //build command line to include this jobnumber $command = '/usr/local/bin/invoiced_date.sh ' . $jobnumber; $shell = ssh2_shell($conn,'xterm'); fwrite($shell,"/usr/local/bin/invoiced_date.sh " . $jobnumber." \n "); usleep(350000); $response = fread($shell,100000); /// .... Parse the repsonse however you need to. return $response; } Hope others find this useful also. -C

the content i am trying to examine is being loaded into an iframe using the src attribute. so if i count the innterHTML all i get is 0. that is why i need to return the content of the page that is trying load into the iframe before it gets loaded.

i need to get the char count of the result of a url in php i would do this. $link = 'www.google.com'; $length = strlen(file_get_contents($link)); any help on doing this in javascript would be great. I need to resize some divs and iframes based off of the char count. Thanks, C

thank you very much .. that worked perfectly.

what is the type of field you are trying to insert the information into? if the field type is an int or enum or something it will be error out because of the comma also where is your mysql_query() line? does that have an mysql_error() with it? it should look something like this. $query "INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES ('value')"; $push = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

mysql using the , to separate fields in the sql query you will have to use addslashes() to make mysql ignore the comma

I have an application that we use internally here at the office. The software company provides a Java API. Is there a way to use this Java API with PHP? or am i stuck having to use tomcat and jsp to interact with the api? if it is possible.. can someone give me a working example? the api documentation is located here http://elevenrings.com/dsapi/ for reference. Any help would be great. Thanks, C

yeah .. i just found it at php.net ... i need to look harder before i post. thanks though. C

i have an array $items = array(2008,2008,2008,2009,2010,2007,2009,2007,2010); //i would like to end up with an array like this $newitems = array(2007,2008,2009,2010); not sure how to do this. thanks in advance, C

Nevermind .. i got it working

ok so i got it figured out to a point .. i need to use setInterval(). but why is this simple example not working properly? <script language="Javascript"> function livestatus(){ var output = '#FF99CC'; document.getElementById('testing').style.color = output; } var time=5; var interval = time * 1000; var timer setInterval("livestatus()",interval); </script> <div id="testing" style="color:#03F">SOME STUFF HERE SHOULD CHANGE COLOR!</div> any help would be great. thanks, C

I have a PHP based website that has a little piece of code that looks at database and diplays an image based on the database query. nothing fancy just like this //paraphrased this code just do you get the idea, my actual code works. $query = "SELECT status FROM status_monitor ORDER BY id"; if($query == 1){ <img src="images/active.png"> }else{ <img src="images/stopped.png"> } I would like the graphic to change automatically without refreshing the page if the status changed. Can i do this using ajax? if so, can someone point me in the right direction? I have done ajax calls where i am switching the content of div or span using the onclick but i'm not sure how to do it without user interaction of some kind. i would also like to keep from refreshing the whole page if possible. thanks in advance, -C

how about using the try {} catch {} method and throwing exceptions out to a log file?? that is how i do it. unless you are looking for something else I'm not getting from your post.

you might want to use stristr() instead of strpos to compare, which is what it looks like you are doing http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.stristr.php

I am trying to display the information from an ssh2_exec() call here is my function right now. public function checkJobBilled($jobnumber){ echo 'Processing Job: ' . $jobnumber .'<br/>'; $conn = ssh2_connect($this->_host); ssh2_auth_password($conn,$this->_user,$this->_pass)or die("Cannot Connect"); //build command line to include this jobnumber $command = '/usr/local/bin/invoiced_date.sh ' . $jobnumber; $stdout_stream = ssh2_exec($conn, $command); $err_stream = ssh2_fetch_stream($stdout_stream, SSH2_STREAM_STDERR); $dio_stream = ssh2_fetch_stream($stdout_stream, SSH2_STREAM_STDIO); stream_set_blocking($err_stream, true); stream_set_blocking($dio_stream, true); $result_err = stream_get_contents($err_stream); echo $result_dio = stream_get_contents($dio_stream); } when i run the $command directly on the remote machine (using putty) it works and displays something like jobnumber 111222 was delivered on 8/14/2009 to the terminal screen. any reason why that is not showing up in my php code. just to verify everything is working right I ran the following ssh2_exec($conn,'ls -al >> "testfile.txt"'); when i open testfile.txt on the remote machine, it contains the ls information, so my ssh2 connection is open and working properly. Any Ideas? Thanks, C

you need {} around your $_POSTS i would also get those $_POST inputs cleaned and validated before passing them to MySQL .. major security problems the way it is now.

doesn't matter, we need to see what you have to work with before we can even fathom suggesting a solution.

you will have to give us more info. maybe some code examples of what you are planning to add together.

where is the rest of the form? or the javascript you are referencing with you buttons? you need a form to process any of the button clicks through php
