PHP - Unexpected Output When Downloading .csv Using Header Function

Here is my function which almost works as expected:


<?php
function find_value($array,$value)
{
for($i=1;$i<sizeof($array);$i++)
{
if($array[$i] == $value)
{
echo "$i . $array[$i]<br />";
return;
}
}
}
?>


And I call the function like so:


<?php
$names = array('Jason','Mike','Joe');
$name = 'Joe';

find_value($names,$name);
?>


And the output is:

2 . Joe

According to my understanding of Arrays, Joe would be index 3 BECAUSE my counter starts at 1 in my for loop??? Why is the result like this? What am I not understanding here?

I need to know if what I am doing will even work.

I have a .php page which submits information into a form to a insert_form.php page which then parses then information and adds it to a DB. In this insert_form.php page I have a function which is being called which is located in another .php file called function.php. This function adds images to the file system and will display errors if anything happens to the user. I do this by doing a header redirect:

Code: [Select]
header('location:link.php?error=error message that i want to display');
The problem is the function is working because the images are being loaded correctly, but if something happens to the images and the header redirect gets initiated, its not redirecting.

I need to know if the header redirect would work when being a function in another file or not.

thanks

Code: [Select]
header("Location: index.php?x=y") , i had seen people having this problem when i was asking too.. about adding GET values to a change header function... Anyone still need this help?

Code: [Select]
        header('Location: ' . $register_success);
Code: [Select]
    $register_success = 'register_success.php';
The header function above gets executed after a successful registering, and the variable is stated in the path.php file, which gets included into the header.php file, which also is included into the page, and also into the page with the register form.

The register form is contained in the path model/register/register_script.php, and the file register_success.php is in the same folder. The problem I am having is that the header function does redirect to controller/register/register_success.php this used to be the previous location of that file.

I am wondering is the old path saved somewhere in the cache, and this all is actually a caching problem? It does not seem to be a caching problem of the internet browser because I cleaned the cache out.

What else could be the cause for this problem? If it is a caching problem, which cache could be, as in in which location?

I just edited the tablerate.php in magento, and now I am getting this error, but I don't know what's wrong. Anybody here can help me? The error message reads "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '*', expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in /home/echoshom/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Shipping/Model/Carrier/Tablerate.php on line 50"   Attached is tablerate.php Attached Files  Tablerate.php   9.23KB   2 downloads

I have a single dimensional array of item characteristics called $item[ ], I get the above error when I try to define the functon parameters like this function bread_crumb($item['id'], $dbc)   However when I change it to this the function works fine $id = $item['id'];
function bread_crumb($id, $dbc)   Can you use an array to define a function's parameters and if you can how do you do it?   Thanks

Well I have a script that executes a scan on a system set to run infinitely, and I need it to echo out a message each time it loops through, but I don't want it to echo out the message with the next loop message below it, and the next one below that etc... I've tried using the flush(); function and been messing around with that with no luck. For security reasons I don't want to release any of the processing code, but here is the basic construction of the script:

<?PHP
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
$RepeatIt = -1;
for($g=1; $g!=$RepeatIt+1; $g++)
{
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***

$ScanMessage = ":.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: ".$MobName." (SCAN #$g) :.:.:"."<br/><br/>";
echo $ScanMessage;

***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
}
?>

At the moment it's returning:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #1) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #2) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #3) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #4) :.:.:

So what I want it to do is just delete the scanning message and replace it with the next scan message so while running this script you would see just the number increment on the same line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I've got a few hours in this, read the manual on return (and it appears my print_r should be working!).. And I am unable to get print_r() to output the contents of my function array.

What am I doing wrong?

function getStateName()
{
$stateName = array("Alabama","Florida","Nevada");
return $stateName;
}

echo "<pre>";
echo print_r($stateName);
echo "</pre>";

I wonder if some kind-hearted person can help me?
I am trying to download a video file which has a wmv. The protocol is either mms:// or http://

I can see the video in my browser but I cannot download it using curl or wget in a program and I need to download a few of these.
They are publicly viewable so they are not private stuff.
The URL is http://210.150.12.140/vod11/tepco/other/1111_01.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf
or
mms://wmt.stream.co.jp/vod11/tepco/other/1111_01.wmv

All I get at the moment is a text file of less than 1K and not the movie itself.
How would I download this file please?
Thanks
Paul

Hello everyone.
I have a problem with some of my php script.

I have some php code that downloads a remote file and directly outputs it to the user. It works and all, it's just that when I do it on my Ubuntu LAMP server, downloading a file takes up a lot of ram. On my Windows WAMP server it works correctly and doesn't use up so much ram. Is this a problem with my code, or is it a server configuration?

Below is the code I use to download the file.
Code: [Select]

   session_write_close();

    register_shutdown_function('function_name');
