PHP - Relative V Absolute Location

well good moring dear folks - hope you are all right and everythings is fine across the atlantic

today i have a  question regarding server-paths - and the absolute and relative in a linux-[opensuse 11.4] lampp-system
well i just installed something in to my Lampp on openSuse  11.4

while setting up  this application - (it is a joomla 1.7.3 ) i wonder how i name the paths


   public $unicodeslugs = '0';
   public $feed_limit = '10';
   public $log_path = 'D:\\Xammp\\xampp\\htdocs\\pre1/logs';
   public $tmp_path = 'D:\\Xammp\\xampp\\htdocs\\pre1/tmp';
   public $lifetime = '15';
   public $session_handler = 'database';



what cou you thinks how shoud i name the paths
well you see above this was a windows box where the pahts originally were taken from

love to hear from you

hey guys i know there is various script about to locate user (country, latitude and longitude) by ip...but can anyone suggest a good one which is free please?   thank you

I have a script that runs in the command line. Is it possible to get where the php interpreter file is?

I know I have it running from "C:\php\php.exe" but If I give the script to someone else, php.exe may not be there, and it may not even be a windows operating system, so is there any command to get the location of that file?

Directory structu

/home/~test/public_html/soap/
    .../xml/
    .../bin/
    .../products/browser/

In file /home/~test/public_html/soap/bin/products/browser/test.php, I include another file and call it's function:
Code: [Select]
require("../../xml/processXML.php");

$xmlData = generateXML(....);

In the /home/~test/public_html/soap/xml/processXML.php, I have the following code:
Code: [Select]
function generateXML()
{
     exec("../bin/code.cur");
}

The problem is the exec("../bin/code.cur") fails of the relative path issue.  I did a getcwd() before the exec() and it returned /home/~test/public_html/soap/bin/products/browser.  I have tried using dirname() and no help.  I hope this is clear enought to understand where I am coming from.

Thank you.

ok so i am using relative timestamps on my forum. if a post was created less than 1 hour ago then it will display something like 32 minutes ago. If it was posted more than 1 hour ago it will display "posted today at 10:00pm", or if it was older than 1 day then it will display the absolute time stamp. My question is how do i get them to update automatically like facebook does? i would like to use jquery for this but after searching i cant make heads or tales of any of it.

so to sumarise i would like the timestamps to update without having to refresh the page.

Thanks

I'm trying to put a variable in a header("Location: /?p=$url");
Is this even possible?

hi guys , i know with link youll use the name tag to load a location on the page but i need to know how to use it in php.

i have a main page with details at the top of page, half way down i have comments and then the user can add comments to them.

currently if you click post a comment its ok but i want to load that comment at the top (scrolled down to location) once you click submit to post your comment as it loads the same page again.

this is the views as pages loads with the comment box at bottom.


this is how i want the same page to load , half where down where the comment is placed.


i want it to work the same as a forum , post your message then you see your message at top of page of that thread all thought the message is actually like the 12th post in the board.

Hi guys, I am making a simple program which fetches an array of variables on my table. Basically, I want to map the location of a unit which is plugged into a certain location.

The layout consists of 40 locations. I'll be representing them using tables. Lets say I have a table with 1 row and 40 columns which portrays the 40 locations. Lets say, collectively all 40 locations are on Area 238. So each location is labeled 238-1 ... 238-40). In my database I have a field called portNumber which has a value of say 238-11. Now I want the code to check all those data entries with the portNumber LIKE 238, and highlight all rows which return a value. Those without value will remain white. Also the highlighted values should check is the field isHistory is set to 0 otherwise, it won't return the value.

Here's the code I did so far:
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Location Mapper</title>
</head>

<body>
<table width="800" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <th colspan="40" scope="col">SCMST 238</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <?php
     $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "123456") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("orderstatus") or die(mysql_error());
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM superdome WHERE portNumber LIKE '%238%' AND isHistory='0' ORDER BY portNumber ASC")
or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($sql) != 0) {
echo "
    <td width=\"20\" height=\"30\" scope=\"row\">&nbsp;</th>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;</td>
";
}
?>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

So if the query for mysql_num_rows return 0, nothing should be highlighted as shown in the pictu


but if the query for mysql_num_rows return a value, all values in the array should be highlighted as shown:


Location 5 and 40 are highlighted.
Really need help on this one... Thanks!

How do I find the location of the php executable? Running CentOS, and it's not at /usr/local/bin/php...

I was wondering if it's possible to retain loaded files and the current error setttings after a

header("Location: xxxx.php")

is issued, for example in this:

// Start up the session - not used yet but there just in case
session_start(1);

// Enable the Autoloader and initialise it
require_once 'Autoloader.php';
Autoloader::init();

// Check if the application has been installed yet ----------------------------
if(!file_exists('Engine/config.php')){
    session_write_close();
    header("Location: install/index.php");
    die();
}

And I get a class not found error when I open the install/index.php

session_start(1);
// @todo: Disable this in the production version .... I already did this in the main index -- do I have to do this on all pages that may error?
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT);
ini_set("display_errors",1);

// Because we jumped here, we have to reinstall the autoloader -- why?
require_once '../Autoloader.php';
Autoloader::init();

While I can understand I wouldn't want this if I was firing off to a completely different site, is there anyway to retain the settings within the same server environment or do I have to reset everything as above. I even tried using session in the hope that this would 'remember' but it didn't work.        

Any thoughts on this function? Basically what it does is take the current users location ($location) and a relative path ($link) and convert it to a valid URL. I do know that this does work on my example, but does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Code: [Select]
<?php
$location = "http://mysite.com/pages/images/docs/myfile.html";
$link = "../../games/game.html";

function resolve_url($current, $link){
$ui = (object)parse_url($current);
$domain = $ui->scheme."://".$ui->host;
$levelsA = preg_split("/\.\.\//", $link);
$levels = 0;
foreach($levelsA as $l){
if(empty($l)) $levels++;
}
$currentA = preg_split("/\//", $current);
$length = count($currentA);
array_splice($currentA, -$levels - 1);
$currentA[] = preg_replace("/\.\.\//", "", $link);
return implode("/", $currentA);
}

echo resolve_url($location, $link);
?>
Thanks!

this little piece of code doesn't seem to work:

Code: [Select]
if($rs_teamcheck['team_id'] != $team{
header( "Location: http://domain/page.php" ) ;}
If I replace the header location part with an echo the output is fine, so why isn't the redirect working?

Hi,
Im new to all this coding stuff but get by ok with help from the wealth of info on the internet however in this instance i cant solve a PHP redirect issue im having.
Ive got a very simple php script to redirect to a secure paypal item link using the header function.

header("Location:https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=XYX96W3MSFQZ6");

The problem is when the script is called upon in IE it loops endlessly however works perfectly in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and the Andriod stock browser.
I originally tried the redirect directly within the meta tag although this failed on all browsers so now i have the meta tag point to this PHP file. (The meta tag is in a script that submits form data and displays a temporary 'redirecting...' page.

Has anyone expirenced this problem before or know of ways to fix it for IE? Could it be an issue with security in IE because the paypal link is secure?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
