Passing variable to PHP script

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle&APEX...
I would like to upload a file to server filesystem, but I could not fid a way this to be done via APEX?
(I somebody can give me a solution You are welcome)
I know how this could be done in PHP so I created a script, but I need then to confirm to the database that the file is uploaded. To do this I need to have variable transferred to my PHP script.
I've tried to build a button to pass the value with ?var=:P5_value, but only "P%_value" is passed as text not the value of this variable.
How this can be done?
Any suggestions?

Hello,
You should use the webdav functionality in XE.
http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html
then you get the best of both worlds you get files in the database but they can be accessed as if they are in the filesystem.
Note: APEX need to be replaced with HTMLDB for Oracle XEI have no idea what you are saying here, HTMLDB and APEX are the same thing.

Passing variables from PHP to AS3

I am trying to get variables retrieved from a MySQL database
by a PHP script into my ActionScript 3.0. script. To test I have
created a simple instance of dynamic text called date_txt, and put
the AS3 code below into the actions layer:
All I want to do now is replace the hardcoded date values
with variables passed from the PHP script (also shown below).
Can anyone suggest a VERY simple way of passing the PHP
variables $tgt_year, $tgt_month and $tgt_day into the AS3 code and
let me know what modifications I need to make to the PHP to make
the variables available to Flash?
Thanks, Will

Hi dzedward,
I tried the code you posted at
http://forums.flashgods.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=98
with a little problem. Why is it that the value from event.data
after complete loading has the value of the entire script of PHP
script?
At first, I have this error:
The markup in the document following the root element must be
well-formed.
I replace the following codes: ########
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var theResult:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
var lastName = theResult.client.lname;
With this one: ########
trace(event.target.data);
and has this output: #########
<?Php
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><clients>";
echo "<client><lname>test
sdfsaf</lname></client>"
echo "</clients>";
?>
instead of this output: #########
<client><lname>test
sdfsaf</lname></client>
Please help me out.
Thank you

How do I enable Data Management if Passing an extra variable to PHP script?

Im trying to use dynamic SQL tables on my PHP server so I need to pass the table name to the PHP script. I don't understand why the Data Management system that sets up CRUD won't allow this extra parameter. It says it can only have one input: item. I can get all records, but when I try to create, update, or delete I get an error.
Or is there another way I can pass the tablename variable to the php file before I call any functions?
Thanks!

I use it but does not work for me.
It does not integrates.
You can tag on url value pairs onto your php function call such as:
http://www.yourpath.php?tablename=tablenamesears
You can then extract tablename, by using get in your php script:
$tn = $_GET['tablename'];
This $tn can be used anywhere in your php script as a dynamic value for table targeting.
You can pass as many value pairs as you wish, every preceding pair must be in the form:
http://www.yourpath.php?tablename=tablename&action=update&author=admin
Hope it helps

Passing variables from PHP to Flash

I have a contact form that works. The user enters their info,
hits submit, and their info is emailed to me. I need to figure out
how to have the PHP script send back a confirmation that the email
was actually sent. I can't get the php to echo just a "yes" or
"no". Here is what I have so far:
Flash code to bring in PHP variable to notify user if mail
has been sent or not:
function receive_response(e:Event):void
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);
var email_status = new URLVariables(loader.data).success;
if(email_status == "yes")
status_txt.text = "Success! Your message was sent.";
timer = new Timer(500);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, on_timer);
timer.start();
else
status_txt.text = "Send failed! Please email or call us";
and here is my entire PHP Code. The code in bold at the bottom
is where it is supposed to pass the "yes" or "no" as the variable
success
<<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<?php
// Create local PHP variables from the info the user gave in
the Flash form
$senderName = $_POST['userName'];
$senderEmail = $_POST['userEmail'];
$senderMessage = $_POST['userMsg'];
// Strip slashes on the Local variables
$senderName = stripslashes($senderName);
$senderEmail = stripslashes($senderEmail);
$senderMessage = stripslashes($senderMessage);
$to = "info@*******.com";
// change this to reflect your site
$from = "contact@*********.com";
$subject = "Contact from ***********.com";
//Begin HTML Email Message
$message = <<<EOF

$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$to = "$to";

echo “success=yes”;

exit();

Passing Variables From PHP to Java Applet ?

I took one page of a project which was written entirely in PHP, and translated it into a JAVA applet, so as to support better GUI funcitonalities (immediate calculation and display of Time/Billing data, on LostFocus events...stuff like this).
In any case - I need to pass four variables from the php scripts, to the Java Applet. I had initially, written them out from the php scripts to an html file on the server, and read them in from the applet doing something like this:
. this.m_TheURL = new URL(url);
 InputStream in = m_TheURL.openStream();
 DataInputStream data = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(in));
 while ((unparsed = data.readLine()) != null)
// parsed the strings here and got my variables
The URL I read from, was the same file I wrote out to from the PHP scripts. This worked fine - until I told my boss about it, and realised that this wasnt going to work - because the applet updates a MySql database, and issues regarding multiple users became apparent.
The Applet has to get these variables from the previous PHP page, the same way it had - before my applet was an applet, and it was just another PHP script page.
The PHP pages are passing variabes using CGI, and a PostGet function. My applet has to do the same thing.
Anybody know how I can do this - safely ?

Updated some code... in case people wanted to use it....
<?php
class JavaApplet {
 var $param;
 function setParam($name, $value) {
 $temp1 = array("name" => $name, "value" => $value);
 $this->param = array_merge($this->param, $temp1);
 function delParam($name) {
 foreach ($this->param as $key => $value) {
 if ($key = $name) {
 unset( $this->param["$id"]);
 function echo_html() {
 echo '<applet code=TimeEntry.class width=600 height=90 >';
 foreach ($this->param as $value) {
 foreach ($value as $key => $value2) {
 echo '<param name="' . $key . '" value="' . $value2 . '">';
 echo '</applet>';
$applet = &New JavaApplet;
$applet->setParam("name1", "value");
$applet->setParam("name2", "value");
$applet->setParam("name3", "value");
$applet->echo_html();
?>

CF variable to PHP script

Situation:
My main site is coded in CF. My forum is coded in php. I am
in the process of creating a single uniform log in and don't want
to pass the log in information retrieved by CF via URL. I know
passing by session is out the picture, and I'm not trying to repost
by form, so I was thinking about using a cookie to store the
infomation and then destroying it after log in.
Question:
What is the safest way to pass a cf variable to php?

All the data is on the same database, just that one set of
tables I created myself and the other set was created dynamically
by the forum's set up script.
So far I pull the members info for log in on the primary site
(via email & password). In doing so, I pull the members
username (not id as previously mentioned), and now need to use the
stored username and password to log into the forum.
Just saw your responce Dan, I'll give that a try. Thanks. And
you too Mike.

Accessing passed arguments from php script?

I have a php script which will pass an argument which I need
to turn in to a coldfusion variable, how should I go about doing
this?

I am developing a cf application to interface with the PLESK
control panel's Event manager to dynamically setup cf security
sandboxes when a new domain is added to PLESK. Plesk uses encrypted
php3 files and with the use of the event manager API I can pass the
new domain name to any script. However, I cannot alter the way
PLESK sends the param <new domain> therefore a cfhttp post is
impossible. All I can do is path the new domain as an argument to
the file IE: myscript.cfm.
I have tested passing the new domain to a bash shell script
and then using bash to drop the new domain name into a database
then using CURL to execute the .cfm file which sets up the new
sandbox. This is tested and working on Linux servers but now my
task is to do the same for Windows servers, hence I would prefer to
keep all the coding under cf

How to pass variables to shell script?

I have a shell script which uses the touch command to change the date of a file. To run the command on the command line the syntax is:
set-file-date.sh <file> <date>
I'm trying to run it from an automator workflow, so I'm prompted for the date, then the workflow iterates over the finder items, i.e., files, and changes the date of each files.
The problem is in the "Run Shell Script" action. The $@ is substituted with the file names selected in finder, so this will echo the file names:
for i in "$@"; do
echo "$i"
done
What I want to do is something like this:
for i in "$@"; do
set-file-date.sh <DATE VARIABLE> "$i"
done
But I can't prompt for the date value, and pass it to the script. I've tried using the "Get Value of Variable" and the "Ask For Text" actions. I can either get the file names from finder OR the text input in the "Ask for Text" action, but not both.
Is what I'm trying to do possible with a shell script?
-Thanks

This is standard AppleScript text concatenation...
set howManyWords to do shell script "wc -w /path/to/file | awk '{print $1}'"
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -t 'Corpus' -m '" & howManyWords & " words were added to the corpus.'"
in other words, just use the & to concatenate the parts of your text together.

Passing variable from php into flash, help please

Here are what I'm having:
<?PHP
$testVal = "This is a test";
$test = urlencode($testVal);
$out = "test=". $testVal;
echo $out;
?>
// and this is my flash file
function getData() {
// Prepare request
var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/test.php");
urlReq.method=URLRequestMethod.GET;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(urlReq);
function completeHandler(evt:Event) {
var vars:URLVariables = URLVariables(evt.target.data);
trace(" TEST = ", vars.test);
trace(" TEST = ", unescape(vars.toString()));
// and below is the ouput
TEST = undefined
TEST = test=This is a test
I've tried with several different ways to get ONLY the value of the variable - that means I only want to have "This is a test" returned, but I either got "undefined" or the whole thing "test=This is a test", instead.
I'm new to Flash and PHP. Please help.
Thanks

There's no need to write any fake variables out, Flash does not need that. OK, here's a simple PHP script like yours - I called it test.php
<?PHP
 $testVal = "This is a test";
 $out = "test=". $testVal;
 echo $out;
?>
And the AS to call it:
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.mydomain.com/test.php"));
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded, false, 0, true);
function dataLoaded(e:Event){
 trace( e.target.data.test);
You will see 'This is a test' traced to the output window.

Cannot pass variables from PHP to actionscript 3.0

I am using CS3 and I write the following code as to pass variable to flash from PHP
Actionscript
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/moodle/value.php");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler);
var myValue: String;
function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void{
 var myvariable: URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);
 myValue = myvariable.values;
 trace(myValue);
PHP file
<?php
 echo ('values = 8');
?>
But I always get the error and cannot get the values by using trace();
Before i try to use "myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;" I still get the same error.
Error: Error #2101: The String passed to URLVariables.decode() must be a URL-encoded query string containing name/value pairs
 at Error$/throwError()
 at flash.net::URLVariables/decode()
 at flash.net::URLVariables$iinit()
 at flash.net::URLLoader/flash.net:URLLoader::onComplete()
Can anyone help me?

The error is fixed.The new version is like that
Actionscript
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/moodle/value.php");
myLoader.load(myRequest);
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onCompleteHandler);
var myValue: String;
function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void{
 var myvariable: URLVariables = new URLVariables(e.target.data);
 myValue = myvariable.values;
 trace(myValue);
php file
<?php
 echo "values=8";
?>
The output finally is "null" in flash file. Why does it happen? It should give me 8 when I input trace(myValue);

Getting error when passing variable to Matlab script

Hi
I am using LabVIEW 2013 Version 13.0f2 (32bit) and MATLAB R2014b (Version: 8.4.0.150421) in Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1).
I am trying to pass measured data to a matlab script to plot but I get errors.
I have made a small program to make the problem easyer to solve and I get this error
Error 1050 occurred at LabVIEW: Error occurred while executing script. Error message from server: ??? Reference to a cleared variable A.
. in MatlabTest.vi
I tried the solution mentioned in http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4475BC3CEB062C9586256D750058F14B though it was intended for an older version. This gave me this error instead
Error 1048 occurred at LabVIEW: LabVIEW failed to get variable from the script server. Server:"??? Undefined function or variable 'num'.
" in MatlabTest.vi
The problem occures when I try to access the input, in other words I can have inputs to my script as long as I do not use them.
How can I solve this?

MatlabTest.vi ‏7 KB

Thank you so very much.
I shold of cours have realised that that was what happened but I always use the three clearing lines (close all, clear all, clc) in the beginning of a script to make sure that no old and irrelevant data corrupts my script and did not think about when the inputs were generated.
Again, Thank you!

Passing variables from shell script to separate sqlplus script

Hi, I am having issues passing variables to a separate sqlplus script invoked by the shell script, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
DB_NAME=TEST
PWD1=PA55W0rd
echo exit | sqlplus / as sysdba @${DB_NAME}.sql ${DB_NAME} $PWD1 >> ${DB_NAME}.sql
exit 0
The script picks up the $DB_NAME variable fine, and therefore invokes the required sql script.
However, when I pass the variable $PWD1 to the sql script I get an error.
The script creates a database link:
create or replace procedure new.link
is
begin
execute immediate 'create database link TEST
connect to TESTSCH identified by '$PWD1'
using ''TEST''';
end;
exec new.link;
output is:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at "NEW.LINK", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
any help appreciated!

SQL*Plus passes the arguments to the script as if executing the file using the SQL*Plus START command. If no file suffix (file extension) is specified, the suffix defined by the SET SUFFIX command is used. The default suffix is .sql.

Data items you wish to pass to parameters in the script. If you enter one or more arguments, SQL*Plus substitutes the values into the parameters (&1, &2, and so forth) in the script. The first argument replaces each occurrence of &1, the second replaces each occurrence of &2, and so on.

Your script was including a Unix style substitution, not an SQL*Plus script substitution, so that's seems to be the most likely cause of your problem.
And still you haven't come back to say whether it's worked for you or not... leaving others guessing as to whether you still need help.
