Automated batch processing with PHP

Is it possible with PHP to write a script that calls a PHP function (i.e. for batch processing) each day at a specific time, automatically. Let's says for example I want to create a PHP script that runs automatically on my http-server, each morning at 2am, to perform archiving and generate automatic...

Email Prompt while waiting for mail() to return

My email script is working perfectly, and I want to take it a step further. How do I get my script to display a nice little animated gif with a message saying: "Please wait while we attempt to send your email." while waiting for the mail() function to return, which will then of course repo...

The script works perfectly when the image is within the proper file size constraint. However, the moment the file is larger than my MAX_FILE_SIZE setting, the $_FILES array does not get filled. So I can't manage to catch the error to display a user-friendly message to my not so very technically tale...

Im using action="$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']" on my form. When the form submits, and I check the error and size values of my files, they are empty. I assume that the file was not uploaded due to the MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field setting, and therefore there appears to be nothing in $_FILES to check ...

Display an upload error attemting uploading a 2 large file?

I have a php script that uploads an image to my mySQL DB. My MAX_FILE_SIZE setting has been set to 1000000. Now, how do I get my php page to display a nice message to my visitor when he has exceeded the allowable file size. I know its not possible with JavaScript, due to security reasons, and I'm al...

Thanks for the help guys. The solution was then to drop the validation javascript into the onsubmit, have it return true. I also used a hidden variable which javascript set to true which php would check to see if it can proceed with adding the advertisment. I used <?php echo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?...

Okay, the bit you explain here Kadanis, is similar to what I tried. So once validate() has returned true, my .php must redirect to itself so it can access the $_POST variables to post data to the database.

Hope I am making sense :?:

Making sense feyd. Thanks for the prompt response. Just had a brilliant idea however. I just need to get my brains around it. How about this Program the Submit buttons onclick event to behave as follows: - perform JavaScript validation - and if it returns true - do the PHP bit, but the idea is quite...

HTML form --> JavaScript validation --> PHP processing

Just a simple question. I have an html form, which calls a JavaScript function validateData() via action=javascript:validateData() tag. Then validateData() basically - validates the data, which I'm okay with. After javascript validation is complete, I would like javascript to sort of redirect to the...

Got it! Thanks guys!

Code: Select all

$string = str_replace(Array("\n", "\r"), '', $string);
worked perfectly. Now that my variable is being stripped of all newlines and thingies, my page is no more confused!

Much appreciated!

I think the above commotion was not necessary, so I'll rephrase my question to be more clear:

How do I remove special invisible newline characters, not indicated by \n or \r from a string?

Problem with newline/linefeed in string variable!!!

Hi all! First of all, I'm no PHP Guru. I need help removing a newline/linefeed artifact or special (invisible) character from a string, but it does not show up in for example Mozilla's source viewer as an escaped \n or \r. The source viewer displays the following: area = new HyperTextArea('welcome',...
