  - Help with scripts to add records to a databaseI am following the tutorial at
    http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/
    The source code is on the website on the left hand side
    http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/static/tutorials/phpmysql/example.zip
    
    My software:
    PHP version 4.3.4 on Windows 2000
    MYSQL version 4.0.16 on Windows 2000
    Apache version 1.3.29 on Windows 2000
    
    The problem is I cannot get the database to add a new records aside from
    the auto-increment field. All the other fields are left blank when the
    add.html is subitted.
    
    I have the add.html with the following code exactly the same as the
    source code.
    
    <form action="insert.php" method="post">
    First Name: <input type="text" name="first"><br>
    Last Name: <input type="text" name="last"><br>
    Phone: <input type="text" name="phone"><br>
    Mobile: <input type="text" name="mobile"><br>
    Fax: <input type="text" name="fax"><br>
    E-mail: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
    Web: <input type="text" name="web"><br>
    <input type="Submit">
    </form>
    
    The insert.php
    <?
    include("dbinfo.inc.php");
    mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
    @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
    
    $query = "INSERT INTO contacts VALUES
    ('','$first','$last','$phone','$mobile','$fax','$email','$web')";
    mysql_query($query);
    
    mysql_close();
    ?>
    
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  - security compromisedHi newsgroup,
    
    it appears someone has broken into my site. This morning I found about 20
    files (each called index.htm) suddenly featured this line:
    
    <IFRAME SRC="url-of-bad-site" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1></IFRAME>
    
    and their last modified date was set to today between midnight and 1 GMT. In
    some files, this line was placed directly after the body opening tag, in
    others it was just before </body>. In one file where the whole document is
    written in javascript, they had even escaped their quotes!
    
    The malicious url is www.b00gle.com/fa/?d=get
    I have no access to the raw server logs and my own log script shows no
    strange hits around that time.
    How have they done this? And what can I do about it? I ask here because the
    site uses PHP a lot but I guess there are more appropriate places to ask.
    Thanks
    Ivo

  - Dynamic SQL query helpHi all,
    
    First off, I'm a newbie.
    
    Can someone help? I have been fighting this for 3 days now and can't
    figure out what's wrong.
    
    I'm trying to create a SQL query based off of $HTTP_POST_VARS. Here's
    the code:
    
    foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value)
    {
    $sStr=array($key . "=" . $value . ", ");
    
    $search=join(",",$sStr);
    
    echo $search; //echoing here to print $search values.
    
    $query="Select * from employee where"."?".$search;
    
    }
    
    echo $query;
    
    The problem is: I have 7 fields on a search form. I never know what
    and in what combination someone will search with. I was wanting to
    build a query based off of the values that HTTP_POST_VARS receives. I
    can get the full 'query' string up to the echo $search statement. But
    2 problems happen. What I want to search on is there, but, when I add
    it to the $query= statement, I only get the last value of
    HTTP_POST_VARS!!! Nothing else. I'm frustrated. Maybe someone could
    help me with the code to be able to build the SQL statement on the
    fly. The other thing that happens is my $search=join statement leaves
    a comma at the end of the last HTTP_POST_VARS which would (when it
    works) create an error in the SQL statement and I need to strip that
    last comma out so the statement doesn't fail.
    
    Thanks for your help!

  - $$$$$$$$make money online$$$$$$$$50,000 for only $5 in two months? You gotta be crazy! How can you
    make $50,000 for only $5? Well, that's what I was wondering too until
    I came across this letter.
    
    First of all, IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL! (Call 1-800-725-2161) if you have
    any questions about the following opportunity to make $50,000.00 and
    that probably WITHIN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS!
    
    Well, here it goes: A little while back, I was browsing these
    newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar
    to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks
    with
    only an initial investment of $5.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this
    must be a joke," but like most of us I was curious, so I kept reading.
    Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and
    address
    stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in
    the
    bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at least 200
    newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it.
    
    As I mentioned before, like most of us I was a little skeptical and a
    little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out
    with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it
    is indeed legal!
    
    What are the basics of each system and why are they legal? Each
    system
    follows the same basic steps which define a business by offering
    others
    the ability to get involved using the system you advertise in
    newsgroups
    on the Internet and accepting a small fee for the requests of those
    who
    respond to be added to your mailing list. Yes, you will be in the
    business of creating your own mailing list. Their requests to be
    added
    to your mailing list which is sent with a $1 fee for your service
    define
    a legal business opportunity under U.S. Postal and Lottery Laws --- a
    legal business opportunity for you which is covered in title 18,
    sections 1302 and 1342 of the U.S. Postal and Lottery Laws.
    
    Now, what one does, or does not do, with the mailing list being
    constructed is a personal decision. One could decide to do nothing
    with this list, to use it as a tool in building another business or
    expanding an existing business. This decision is up to the creator of
    the mailing list -- this decision is up to you.
    
    Make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
    information off of it as you need it. The process is very simple and
    consists of 3 easy steps:
    
    STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
    each
    piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 5 $1.00
    bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so the bill
    will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next,
    place
    one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now
    have
    5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
    phrase
    and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this.
    THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL! Mail the 5 envelopes to the following
    addresses:
    
    #1 G. Duchacek
    1825 Lee Janzen Drive,
    Kissimmee Bay,
    Kissimmee, FL. 347347
    
    #2 T. Roberts
    4810 Meadow Lark Lane
    Paso Robles, CA 93446-4220
    
    #3 D. Wild
    32 Ridgeview Circle
    Milan, Oh 44846
    
    #4 Smith
    935 E. South
    Independence, MO 64050
    
    #5 t. rojas
    42-40 212st apt 3a
    bayside, ny 11361
    
    STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
    the
    other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc.....) and add YOUR Name
    as number 5 on the list.
    
    STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
    close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
    least 200 newsgroups. (There are over 35,000 groups with more being
    added all the time) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you
    post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the
    newsgroups?
    Well do exactly the following:
    
    FOR NETSCAPE USERS:
    1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News",
    which
    is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a
    message box.
    
    2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used,
    something to catch the eye!!!
    
    3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter
    exactly
    as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember to add
    your
    name to number 5 and move the rest up)
    
    4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above
    the
    send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTIL YOU
    SAVE
    IT. (so you don't have to type this 200 times :-)
    
    5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first
    copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner)
    
    6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and
    click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the
    'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now
    click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click
    on
    attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once
    on
    your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. If you did this right,
    you
    should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be
    shaded.
    NOW POST AWAY!
    
    FOR INTERNET EXPLORER:
    It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this
    entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same
    time
    to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have
    the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to.
    
    Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy
    subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the
    article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR
    ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and
    re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for
    each
    newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!! THAT'S
    IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away,
    after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each
    newsgroup!
    
    **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
    MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
    
    **If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free
    Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply
    use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able
    to
    find it.**
    
    That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
    days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
    amount
    of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a
    name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE
    ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
    
    Now the WHY part: This entire principle works because it is in a
    format
    of an upside down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you
    will see to it that the tree continues because they want to get
    money.
    Those below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash
    etc.
    Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low
    example).
    So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now, each of
    the
    5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each
    ith my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original
    5,
    that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
    posts
    with my name at #3 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
    additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
    MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will
    make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of
    those
    625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 letters with my name at #1 and they
    each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! With a
    original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses
    is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those
    figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make:
    
    at #5 $15.00
    at #4 $225.00
    at #3 $3,375.00
    at #2 $50,625.00
    at #1 $759,375.00
    
    Your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting
    in
    the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the list,
    putting
    your name at number 5 and start posting again. The thing to remember
    is
    that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet
    and
    reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! And this will
    go on and on and on and on.... get the picture? Well, there's over
    5,000,000,000 people on the world and most of them will eventually end
    up being hooked into the Internet. So there are virtually unlimited
    resources. Of course this will work the best at the very beginning so
    the faster you post, the better for YOU!
    
    So can you afford $5.00 and see if it really works?? I think so!
    People
    have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
    money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are
    tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the
    Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try?
    Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands
    of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
    HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure
    you
    print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone
    that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make
    sure everyone is playing fairly.
    
    Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the
    basic
    idea to make the money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and
    reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the
    way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with your
    name
    in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the people
    already
    on the list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew
    someone
    who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or
    eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their
    lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This is the fairest and most
    honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without
    costing anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and
    e-mail lists for future dollars. Please remember to declare your
    extra
    income. Thanks once again.

    I wouldn't say it's spaghetti code but it could do with a clean-up.

    If you're returning out of the function there why do you need an else?
    PHP will automatically skip that block if it's not going to process that
    code path.
    
    --------
    // If user is already logged in then check credentials
    if ($_SESSION['user'] && $_SESSION['pass']){

    ...
    
    reverse that:
    
    if (!isset($_SESSION['user']) || !isset($_SESSION['pass'])) {
    return false;
    }
    
    You remove a huge if block which isn't needed.
    
    --------
    query('SELECT * FROM vendors WHERE ID = '.$HTTP_GET_VARS['id']);
    --------
    
    Go to this website and read everything you can find:
    http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/
    
    You have sql injection here that needs attention (and if it's here I'm
    sure there could be other spots too).
    
    Also HTTP_GET_VARS is old, change it to the newer $_GET['id'] syntax.

  - M'I-5,Perse cution ' harassm ent at wo rk-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    -= harassment at. work -=
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    
    Once I stopped watching television and listening to. the radio at the end of
    1990, "they" had to find other ways of committing. abuses. So they took what
    must be for them a tried and tested route; they get at you by. subversion of
    those around you. Since they wouldn't be able to do that. with my family or
    friends, that meant getting at people in the workplace to. be their
    mouthpieces and do. their dirty work for them.
    
    They supplied my employers in Oxford with details from what was going. on in
    my private life, and what I and other people. had said at my home and
    accommodation in Oxford. So people at work repeated verbatim words. which
    had been said in my home, and repeated what I'd been. doing recently. Often
    the most. trivial things, the ones from your domestic life, are the ones
    which hurt most. One manager in particular at. Oxford continuously abused me
    for ten months with verbal sexual abuse, swearing, and threats to. terminate
    my employment. After ten months. I was forced to seek psychiatric help and
    start taking medication, and was away. from work for two months. I spoke
    later with a. solicitor about what had happened at that company; he advised
    it was only possible to. take action if you had left the company as a result
    of harassment, and such an action would have to be started very soon. after
    leaving.
    
    Over. a year later the same manager picked on another new worker, with even
    more serious results;. that employee tried to commit suicide with an
    overdose as a result of the ill-treatment, and was forced. to leave his job.
    But he didn't take action. against the company, either. Abuse at work is
    comparable to. that elsewhere in that tangible evidence is difficult to
    produce,. and the abusers will always have their denials ready when
    challenged. And even if a court accepts what you say happened, it. still
    remains to prove that abuse causes the. type of breakdown I had at the end
    of 1992. In a recent case before a. British court, a former member of the
    Army brought a case against others who. had maltreated him ten years
    previously. Although the. court accepted that abuse had occurred, it did not
    agree that depressive illness necessarily followed, and denied. justice to
    the. plaintiff.

  - php to generate java-scriptAnyone have a good method of grabbing the current page and reading data
    from it?
    
    For example:
    <?PHP
    // find all form fields for current page
    function FindFormFields( $page ) {
    if( empty( $page ) ) {
    $data = -1;
    } else {
    if( ( $fh = @fopen( $page, "r" ) ) === FALSE ) {
    $data = -1;
    } else {
    while( !feof( $fh ) ) {
    $line = fgets( $fh, 512 );
    if( eregi( "<input type=\"", $line ) ) {
    $data[] = $line;
    }
    }
    fclose( $fh );
    }
    }
    return $data;
    }
    
    echo FindFormFields( "http://php.net" );
    ?>
    
    The above code would output the following:
    Array
    (
    [0] => <input type="text" name="pattern" value="" size="30"
    accesskey="s" />
    
    [1] => <input type="image"
    
    )
    
    Now for the problem I am having and a description of what I am trying to
    accomplish:
    
    I want to dynamically generate a form and in doing so I would like to
    dynamically generate the following javascript features for said page
    - javascript form validation
    - javascript form field focus
    
    The problem is if I call the current page that is being generated such as
    <?PHP
    echo FindFormFields( "http://" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );
    ?>
    
    Not only does it take a helluva long time to load the page but it also
    creates a nested array with duplicate values.
    
    My best guess is that the order in which the page is being generated has
    something to do with the lag as well as the nested array with duplicate
    values.
    
    Could anyone help me or point me in a better direction for performing
    these actions?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Jas

    You didn't search very hard.
    
    On this page:

    Read the bit under "Installation".

  - Help with Flat File Database Image GalleryI don't have a database available, so i'm writing an Image Gallery with
    a flat file database.
    
    I have an Add Page:
    Uploads Image file, and saves $filename and $caption to text file:
    captions.txt
    
    Captions.txt is in format:
    photofilename.jpg|caption to do with photo here.
    
    I can easily read out each individual part from the captions.txt file to
    display the photo and caption on a display page. I also have a delete
    file that unlinks the photo, using the info in the captions.txt file,
    but i can't figure out how to remove the entire line from the database
    file based on the filename...??? Basically I want to click on an image
    like this:
    <a href=delete.php?filename=phototodelete.jpg> and have the delete.php
    file unlink the picture, and then erase the line in the text file, that
    begins with the filename (phototodelete.jpg).
    
    I guess i need to search through the data file and when i match the
    filename, erase the line... I'd appreciate any help with that!
    Cheers
    Matt

php-general, PHP is rendered like a txt file I am new to PHP, trying to learn the ropes if you will. Now, I
published a .php file to a web server through FTP about an hour ago,
expecting it to be rendered like an HTML file, except with a .php
extension. I was surprised to see it came out looking like a text file.
Can anyone help me with this, or tell me what I did wrong? Thanks.

The web server doesn't know about php. It is an add-on _at the server_
which many web hosts charge extra for. Either get your host to support
php or set up your own for development purposes - (That's not a single
button click but there's plenty of documentation.)

  - Example from www.php.netI was trying Example 2147, which reads:
    -------------------------------
    <?php
    $string = <<<XML
    <a xmlns:b>
    <foo name="one" game="lonely">1</foo>
    </a>
    XML;
    
    $xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
    foreach($xml->foo[0]->attributes() as $a => $b) {
    echo $a,'="',$b,"\"\n";
    }
    ?>
    -------------------------------
    It says that 'The above example will output:
    
    name="one"
    game="lonely"'
    
    However, in my case it outputs nothing.
    (I'm running php-5.1.6 under Fedora-6.)
    
    Is there an error in the example;
    or is the error mine?

  - Arrays : returning a reference to an array item ??Hello folks,
    
    I am currently storing a set of objects inside an array,
    
    $itemlist = array();
    $itemlist[] = new item("myitem");
    //...
    
    and I am looking to develop a search function, which returns a
    reference to the found item.
    
    function &search_item($itemlist,"myitem") {
    //...
    }
    
    I am trying to figure out how to obtain a reference to a given item in
    an array.
    Indeed, foreach() and each() seem to work on copies of the data in the
    array.
    For example:
    
    $array = array("a","b","c","d");
    print_r($array);
    foreach($array as $v) $v="xxx";
    print_r($array); // $array is unchanged
    
    reset($array) ; while(list(,$v)=each($array)) $v="xxx";
    print_r($array); // $array is unchanged, again
    
    Would you have any idea how to achieve what I am looking for ?
    Thanks in advance,

  - PHP to create Printable formatHi all..
    
    Right now, I am trying to do generation of report using PHP in which the
    report should be in a printable format later on.
    
    Is there any solution to use PHP to accomplish such task??
    
    The report is viewed in a web browser and how should I create a navigation
    link or something whereby user can click on it to view it in a printable
    format and print it ??
    
    Another example site which demonstrate such feature would be:

  - Going crazy about binary postHey all,
    
    I'm tearing my hair out over this one.. I'm using EasyPHP, and trying to
    write a script which receives binary POST data from a client program of
    mine. I've put together a simplified example which demonstrates the
    problem. The data looks like this:
    
    (String showing the length of the following binary)(Character
    #10)(Binary data)
    
    My PHP script looks like this:
    
    <?
    include('databasedef.php');
    set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
    $chandle = mysql_pconnect($servername, $username, $password) or
    die("FAIL");
    mysql_select_db($database, $chandle) or die ("FAIL");
    
    $handle=fopen("php://input","rb") or die("FAIL");
    
    $c=fgets($handle,20);
    
    $picture=mysql_real_escape_string(fread($handle,$c));
    
    $query="INSERT INTO ".$table." (Picture) VALUES ('".$picture."')";
    mysql_db_query($database, $query) or die("Failed Query");
    
    fclose($handle);
    mysql_close($chandle);
    ?>
    
    Although I get the right number of bytes in my MySQL database, they're
    corrupted! What setting am I missing here? The files being stored are
    less than 40k in a MEDIUMBLOB field.
    
    Cheers,

    Yes, more than likely. You need permission within the grant tables for
    Site A to connect to it from host Site B.

  - sending variable to include fileHi, I'm pretty new to php but I've been working on a site and have a
    problem I can't fix, though it's probably pretty simple.
    
    Basically I have an index.php file that includes a header.php file. I
    attempt to pass a variable to it as follows:
    <?include("header.php?page=Home");?>
    
    Then the header.php file contains this code:
    <?php
    $page = $_GET['page'];
    ?>
    <html><head><title><?$page?></title>
    
    I want $page to contain the string "Home" of course, but it ends up
    being nothing but an empty string.
    
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  - Reccomendations for a good file manager script.
    Hi!
    
    I would like a nice php based file manager script so when someone goes
    to a directory they can see the contents and be able to download
    files.
    
    Currently my Apache can do this but the rows are limited to 25-30
    characters long and that makes identification of files a little hard.
    
    I know there are an array of files out there which is why i am asking
    for recommendations. :)
    
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  - PHP & ActionScript sendAndLoadHi,
    
    I have an upload application written in PHP and Flash. The PHP page
    gets the file information via $_POST. Moreover, the user never
    actually visits the PHP page, rather Flash sends the information to the
    PHP page and then loads the result, all in the background. Is there
    anyway that I can conitnue the PHP session when doing this or does the
    user have to visit the PHP page?
    
    Thanks.

  - piping php-generated xml to flash
    Hello,
    
    I'm building a photo gallery using flash as a front-end to a mysql
    database. I use php to query the database.
    I was wondering if it was possible to generate xml into a stream that
    would be directly piped to flash.
    See, normally one would use php to write an xml file that would then be
    read by flash eg.
    
    xmlData = new XML();
    xmlData.load("query_results.xml")
    
    what I want is this: xmlData.load("query.php") where query.php would be
    something like
    
    <?php
    
    echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>"
    echo "<images>";
    echo "<img_data>";
    echo "<val title=\"$title\"/>
    echo "<val path=\"$path\"/>
    echo "</img_data>
    echo "</images>
    
    ?>

  - Identifying user's pick from selection listI have an application that uses PHP to access a MySQL table and
    extract rows which match the user's search entry. Data from the
    matching rows are loaded into an HTML selection list, and the user can
    scan the list and highlight a selected item.
    
    My question: In PHP, what is the syntax for identifying which row is
    highlighted?
    
    My goal is to pass the unique row ID of the selected item to a
    subsequent form where all the fields will be displayed for the user to
    edit.
    
    I already have the code that loads the selection list and the code
    that displays the fields. I just need to know how to determine the
    highlighted item.
    
    I have two PHP books, and both discuss loading the selection list, but
    there is no mention of what to do next.
    
    Thanks!!

  - Solaris 9: Can't build libjpeg shared object for php useI realize this is the php group, but I have a question that recurses

    My objective is a pure 64 bit shared object installation of php 5.0 on
    UltraSparc Solaris 9 compiled with the Sun Compiler version 8.
    
    My problem is that EVERYTHING builds great EXCEPT that the 6b
    distribution of JPEG will NOT build a shared object, thus gd cannot
    include support for JPEG, thus php loses that functionality.

    As you can see from line 41 above, configure is convinced libtool
    cannot support shared libraries. I modified the configure script to
    output the location of the libtool being used (line 25) and the value
    of LTSHARED (line 24).
    
    Has ANYONE out there successfully milked out a shared object from the
    6b distribution of libjpeg ?? This is the only thing holding up my
    build.
    
    Thanks in advance,
