I am trying to restore  a mysql db from a remote location

below is the function it is working fine when i am passing local location, but gives error on passing remote location

Code: [Select]
function restore($path) {
  $f = fopen('restore.sql' , 'w+');
  if(!$f) {
   echo "Error While Restoring Database";
   return;
  }
  $zip = new ZipArchive();
  if ($zip->open($path) === TRUE) {
   #Get the backup content
   $sql = $zip->getFromName('adobe4u_new-sqldump.sql');
   #Close the Zip File

   //$command = "mysql --user=root --password=password --database=adobe4u < restore.sql";
   //exec($command);

// Name of the file
$filename = 'restore.sql';


 
// Temporary variable, used to store current query
$templine = '';
// Read in entire file
$lines = file($filename);
// Loop through each line
foreach ($lines as $line)
{
// Skip it if it's a comment
if (substr($line, 0, 2) == '--' || $line == '')
continue;
 
// Add this line to the current segment
$templine .= $line;
// If it has a semicolon at the end, it's the end of the query
if (substr(trim($line), -1, 1) == ';')
{
// Perform the query
mysql_query($templine) or print('Error performing query \'<strong>' . $templine . '\': ' . mysql_error() . '<br /><br />');
// Reset temp variable to empty
$templine = '';
}
}
// Restoring END
 
   #Delete temporary files without any warning

Hi,
I'm trying to auto login to a website(created by me ;-) ) using the curl. as I am new to this I don't know how to make this possible.

following is the code I tried but this is not submitting the data in the other site. the 'usr_name' and 'password' the field names in the page  "http://localhost/myproject/users/login". and I have given a print_r in that site and it is displaying

Array ( [loginType] => L [step] => confirmation [usr_name] => dasd@hotmail.com [password] => test123 )
but not submitting the form.

please help me....

this is the code i've tried..I got this from web...




$login = "http://localhost/myproject/users/login";
$param="loginType=L&step=confirmation&usr_name=dasd@hotmail.com&password=test123";
$c = curl_init();
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $login);

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookies.txt");
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookies.txt");
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $param);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
echo curl_exec($c);


thanks in advance....

I have a html form that submits to another website. Everything works fine in firefox and chrome however
the data is duplicated in IE. Is there some quirk in IE when submitting a form to a different website?

Hey guys I usually code in C and I started looking into PHP which I think is pretty good. I'm wondering if there's a function that can be used to execute a command from a remote server on my local machine???

As example if I'd like to have a PHP page/script running on my server which when logged onto would display me a page with buttons like "PING, NETSTAT, IPCONFIG, TRACERT" and when clicked on it would exec those commands but not on the server but from my machine??? So that I would get the PING from my local machine to google.com instead of from the server to google.com

??? making any sense ??? thanks

Hi I have a table class and functions I want to call in another function but can't get it working. Some help will be very welcome.

It seesm that the new table class is not working in this function if I pass the values to it, I have tested the class, it does get the post values I post to it so $_POST['id'] are being received as well as all the other $_POST's but the table class and find function is not working, it works fine if I don't put it in a function..

function edit() {
   
   if (isset($error)){ $error.="Please fix the error(s) above";}
   else {

      if ($_POST['id'] <> "") { 
                   
         $update =& new table($db, 'publisher');

         $update->find($_POST['id']);
         $update->name       = $_POST['name'];
         $update->url        = $_POST['url'];
         $update->contact    = $_POST['contact'];
         $update->address    = $_POST['address'];
         $update->phone        = $_POST['phone'];
         $update->email        = $_POST['email'];
         $update->save();

         $error = "The Publisher has been edited";   
                }
   }
  }

Is this even possible? I'm trying to call function nameGen from in the function nameGen but I just get an error saying cannot redeclare. I only want it to return $newName when it is not in the array $takenVals. can this only be done with another loop and a constant somewhere?

Code: [Select]
$newVarVals = array();
$takenVals = array();
$varCount = count($varArray); // contents are set else where and is fine
for($i = 0 ; $i < $varCount; ++ $i)
{
function nameGen(&$varCount,&$takenVals){
$newName = rand(0,$varCount);
if(in_array($newName,$takenVals))
{
nameGen(&$varCount,&$takenVals);
}
else{
return $newName;
}
}

$newName = nameGen(&$varCount,&$takenVals);

$takenVals[] = $newName;

$newNameToKeep = '$_'.$newName;

$newVarVals[] = array('oldName' => $varArray[$i], 'newName' =>  $newNameToKeep);
}

error: Cannot redeclare nameGen()

but i get unidentified function? lol isn't functions global wtf?

I'm writing a program that allows users to input a stock and view a historical price chart. Code is straight out of libchart charting library. Problem is, user is supposed to enter the stock symbol from a form handler (index.php) which then passes the symbol as a variable to the charting function, which doesn't get called at all: <? php   function index() { chart($_POST['userinput']};    }  ?> .   <?php   function chart($stock)   {   $prices=getdata($stock); //returns array of prices from yahoo finance   $data=analyzer($prices); //produces metrics to be charted   graph($data); } ?> //plots the metrics, outputs .html   chart.php works on its own, as I've verified by hardcoding $argv='ibm'; in its code body. But index.php can't seem to call chart.php, as I've verified by including an echo/var_dump line in chart.php (doesn't get executed at all). It doesn't have anything to do with form handling either, as chart('ibm'); doesn't call chart.php either.  I don't understand how a 6-line piece of code can be so problematic. All files are in the same folder, btw.   Thanks.

Hi all,

I am new here and I really thank God that I found this forum! I have read the materials here on working with cURL on javascript-form-submission pages. However, I can't to get my script to work. Can anybody here please help me out or drop me a hint on where to correct my script?

==Situation==

My company utilizes http://www.myfax.com/free/ to send our company faxes. My task is to write a code that would submit files for faxes electronically.

Note: The site also requires e-mail confirmation but I haven't get to that stage yet. I have run tests on submitting fax requests both by code and manually through the site, and have confirmed that the code doesn't work on the submission level because I managed to receive confirmation e-mails for manual submissions. Also, I tried my script with different staff email addresses because I figured out that it blocks only the same e-mail address from sending more than 2 faxes a day.

Code: (php) [Select]

I've made this code for a very simple registration form practice:

 

  //assign form variables
  $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
  $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
  $username = $_POST['username'];

  function clean_names($dirty_name) {
      strip_tags($dirty_name);
      str_replace(' ', '', $dirty_name);
      ucfirst(strtolower($dirty_name));

      //return $dirty_name;
    }

  $names = array($firstname, $lastname, $username);

  if(isset($_POST['register_button'])) {

    //  WHY IS THIS FUNC CALL NOT WORKING??
    foreach($names as $name) {
      clean_names($name);

    }

    echo "First Name: " . $firstname . "<br>";
    echo "Last Name: " . $lastname . "<br>";
    echo "Username: " . $username . "<br>";

  }

The values are returned but they haven't been put through the clean_names function.
I'm really new with PHP. Can someone tell me why this isn't working? Thank you

I am getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in C:\xampp\htdocs\Work\Store\store.php on line 154

when I run the following code:

Code: [Select]
function categorySearch($sql)
{
$res = mysqli_query($this->conn,$sql);
$this->results='<table>';
while($cRow = mysqli_fetch_array($res))
{
function getCategoryName($cRow[0])
$this->results .= '<tr><td style="border: thin solid #000000;">' . $this->cat_str . '</td></tr>';
}
$this->results.='</table>';
return $this->results;

}


Line 154 refers to this line:   function getCategoryName($cRow[0])

Can anyone see what the problem is?
