am trying ot get php to behave on my system. SO please, if you can, please

What is wrong with having a look at the default one(s)
that is/are delivered with PHP?

Contact List or Address Book

Can someone recommend a script for a Contact List or Address Book?

I've looked at many that are available, but would like to solicit other
ideas.

I am looking for a solution to manage and make available the 1000's of name
and numbers that a family accumulates. I want to make this information
available away from the home, and have a host with:

PHP Version 4.3.3
Mysql Version 4.0.15-standard

Php-projekt seems to have the features in Contacts that I would like,
especially import and export. I would like something with a simpler
interface, though.

Is there a PHP book that might cover something like this?

I don't have the programming experience to do this, of course, but maybe I
should attempt it.

I've rambled on a bit, but think this is a topic that many people are
interested in.

Any ideas?

I noticed that Message-ID: <Z6adnWl3oY4LiU ai4p2dnA@comcas t.com> from Ed

You should - it's just a simple database app.

This tutorial shows how

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/21/index2a.html

If you have a PHP enabled server, you don't need to do all the
installation. Skip to

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/21/index2a_page4.html?tw=programming

and upload your .php files to your server via ftp.

I will look into this. Thanks for the link. I appreciate it.

Also, thanks for finding my post in the wrong thread!

I'm going to re-post.

Re: PHP ini file..

Tim,
I think Sharif has suffered the same issues as me...
As a total newbie to programming let alone PHP, I am totally confused by the
options available to configure PHP.
I have tried to select the options I need after reading the documentation
but quite frankly I have not got a clue and am totally confused.

Like Shariff, I too am running WinXP pro (as test Server) with Apache 2.0.43
, PHP 4.3.1. and MySQL.
I have code that I know works on a mates machine but I am buggered if I can
get it to work on mine, he's goneaway for Xmas so I can not get a copy of
his PHP.ini or Httpd.conf, I am pretty much convinced the only differance
can be the configs.

I have apache installed c:\program files\apache group\apache2, PHP installed
in C:\php with the DLLs and php.ini copied to the c:\windows\syst em32 dir
and Mysql resides in c:\MySql.

I can get connection to the Mysql database and can get the apache server
page to be displayed so i know its running, also the phptest.php screen but
if I try to run any PHPcode I get undecleared variable warnings and
something about Headers that Can not be sent... I have looked at the
forums..about the various errors.. some people say the headers issue is
something to do the the path to browscap.ini and error_reporting (7) is
needed to kill the some of the notices...I am lost....Quite frankly all I
and Shariff need are known working examples of basic setups and a couple of
instructions as to where to put files to match the .ini's..

Any example you can provide for a stupid noobie like me would be VERY VERY
much appreciated... Hopefully I can then look at the code structure, watch
how they work and learn...

Cheers

"undeclared variable warnings something about Headers that Can not be sent"
is pretty vague.
You will get a lot more help if you post your exact code from phptest.php
and your exact errors.

Error Checking

Based on Geoff's recommendation, I've decided to jump in to a simple
database app for contacts.

I'm in the early stages of the tutorial, and find a need to error check, to
see if I am connected to the database and so on.

For instance I'm getting this error:

Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result
resource in /home/(rest of path omitted) on line 9
firstN:

I know from reading through messages in this group that I shopuld include
some error checking in the example.

For instance, I've modified the tutorial to something more relevant for me:

<html>

<body>

<?php
$db = mysql_connect(" localhost", "user", "password") ;
mysql_select_db ("database_cont acts",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM peeps", $db);
printf("firstN: %s<br>\n", mysql_result($r esult,0,"firstN "));
?>

</body>

</html>


All of which generates error as noted above.

What error checks do I need to include?

Thanks.

$db = mysql_connect(" localhost", "user", "password")
or die ("Connect failed: " . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("database_cont acts",$db);

$result = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM peeps", $db);

Never proceed to using a resource handle before checking you actually _have_ a
resource handle, instead of 'false' returned by an error; see above.

The error handling above is OK for debugging but you should handle it more
gracefully for production code.
