    Hi all. I'm maintaining a database of engineers with some php pages linked to an Oracle database. I would like to be able to maintain a record of how long it has been since a user has last logged in to update their profile and if it has been a year automatically send them a notification. I'm not sure how to implement a timer that would check each users profiles. I was just hoping that someone could suggest an approach as I haven't as of yet figured out how to tackle this. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    I'm pretty new to PHP and I took over a project for someone. I modelled all my pages after his and it was just how he did things. I'll look into using $_POST instead. Thanks for the heads up. Ah ok, thank you.

    Hi al. I'm encountering a weird error where my form doesn't get submitted unless I click it 2 times. I don't mean double click, but only after I have submitted it twice. I just wanted to see if someone could take a look at my code to see if there is something obvious that I am overlooking. Thanks for any insight. **EDIT: I don't know where those boxes came from. I can't see how to remove em... <?php // connection statement require_once('../Connections/pubs_db.php'); // additional functions require_once('../includes/functions.inc.php'); require_once('../php/functions.php'); // build the form action $editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] .

    I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. It turns out that even though Dreamweaver was telling me that I had changed the permissions on my folder, on my web server it was not changing. I had to SSH in and chmod it. That, and I had to use the absolute path for my destination. Thank you!
  6. Paul_Bunyan
    I'm still trying to figure this out so I thought I'd bump the thread to see if anyone had any other ideas where I might be going wrong. Thanks for the help so far!

    Ok, so I found my temp directory for files and it's permissions are already set to 775. I'm still getting this error: Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/1215800976.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: & Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/fsfiles/ref/infocenter/fsweb/files/phpKk35Ea' to 'images/1215800976.jpg'

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'm now using move_uploaded_file but I am having trouble locating my php.ini so that I can see where my temp file is located.

    Hello. I am having problems uploading photos to my web server. I have set the permissions on the file "images" to 777 via dreamweaver but when I submit the upload I still get the error message: Warning: copy(images/1215797607.jpg) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied I am using code found on this page (http://www.reconn.us/content/view/30/51/): I thought it was a permissions error at first but now I am wondering if there is something I may have overlooked in the code. Thanks in advance. <?php //define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb define ("MAX_SIZE","100"); //This function reads the extension of the file. It is used to determine if the file is an image by checking the extension. function getExtension($str) { $i = strrpos($str,"."); if (!$i) { return ""; } $l = strlen($str) - $i; $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l); return $ext; } //This variable is used as a flag. The value is initialized with 0 (meaning no error found) //and it will be changed to 1 if an errro occures. //If the error occures the file will not be uploaded. $errors=0; //checks if the form has been submitted if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) { //reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading $image=$_FILES['image']['name']; //if it is not empty if ($image) { //get the original name of the file from the clients machine $filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']); //get the extension of the file in a lower case format $extension = getExtension($filename); $extension = strtolower($extension); //if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error and will not upload the file, //otherwise we will do more tests if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "png") && ($extension != "gif")) { //print error message echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>'; $errors=1; } else { //get the size of the image in bytes //$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is the temporary filename of the file //in which the uploaded file was stored on the server $size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']); //compare the size with the maxim size we defined and print error if bigger if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024) { echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>'; $errors=1; } //we will give an unique name, for example the time in unix time format $image_name=time().'.'.$extension; //the new name will be containing the full path where will be stored (images folder) $newname="images/".$image_name; //we verify if the image has been uploaded, and print error instead $copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname); if (!$copied) { echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>'; $errors=1; } } } } //If no errors registred, print the success message if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors) { echo "<h1>File Uploaded Successfully!

    Ah ok. I figured it out and I feel pretty dumb. The table in Oracle was a char(20) so the value was being stored with the extra whitespaces included. So 151 was stored as "151 ". Thanks for the help!
  13. Paul_Bunyan
    Interesting results. So, the expected value is being echoed. But the correct drop down option is not being selected. So for example, when I select a record with the value 151, the drop down box shows the default value as "Not Applicable. 151"

    Here is the source that is generated: <tr> <th align="left" valign="top" scope="row">Total Jumps: </th> <td align="left" valign="top"> <select name="total_jumps" id="total_jumps"> <option value="NA" >Not applicable.</option> <option value="19" >< 20</option> <option value="21" >20 to 49</option> <option value="51" >50 to 99</option> <option value="101" >100 to 149</option> <option value="151" >150 to 199</option> <option value="201" >200 to 249</option> <option value="251" >250 to 299</option> <option value="300" >> 299</option> </select> </td> <td align="left" valign="top">*ND</td> </tr>
  15. Paul_Bunyan
    Ah, sorry I wasn't specific. It doesn't select the correct option. It always selects, "Not Applicable." . I tried your solution mbeals, but I still can't get the right option to be selected. I also tried all of the variations given by Jabop. Thanks for the help so far

    Hello. I am attempting to make an update page where an admin can modify existing records. I am running into a problem when I create my drop down lists with php and I can't seem to find the error that I am making or a thread with the same problem. I am reading from an Oracle database and grabbing my record with the following code: <?php $select_doc = "SELECT total_jumps FROM mars_reports WHERE rec_id=".$rec_id; $doc = $pubs_db->Execute($select_doc) or die($pubs_db->ErrorMsg()); $com = $pubs_db->Execute("commit") or die($pubs_db->ErrorMsg()); ?> As a test I have been echoing out the results to make sure that I am reading successfully: <?php echo $doc->Fields('total_jumps'); ?> I get the expected value. However, when I try to create my dropdown list in my form with the correct value selected by default, it does not work. Here is the code I use w/in my form: <tr> <th align="left" valign="top" scope="row">Total Jumps: </th> <td align="left" valign="top"> <select name="total_jumps" id="total_jumps"> <option value="NA" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="NA") echo "selected"; ?>>Not applicable.</option> <option value="19" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="19") echo "selected"; ?>>< 20</option> <option value="21" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="21") echo "selected"; ?>>20 to 49</option> <option value="51" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="51") echo "selected"; ?>>50 to 99</option> <option value="101" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="101") echo "selected"; ?>>100 to 149</option> <option value="151" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="151") echo "selected"; ?>>150 to 199</option> <option value="201" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="201") echo "selected"; ?>>200 to 249</option> <option value="251" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')=="251") echo "selected"; ?> >250 to 299</option> <option value="300" <?php if($doc->Fields('total_jumps')== "300") echo "selected"; ?>>> 299</option> </select> </td> <td align="left" valign="top">*ND</td> </tr> Thank you for any insight you may have into my problem.
