note 52352 added to ref.gmp

I did further research and figured out a solution, that i felt was sufficient for the purpose I wanted it for which was, I needed to change a binary representation in a db to signal user overall status within the system for multi statuses eg: check that they have received a comfirmation email or has been banned or rejected and so on whatever you need to signal PS: the script below is if you using ADOdb with PHP 5.0.4 not tested else where under Windows XP SP2 like in my instance <<<<<<<<<<=============>>>>>>>>>>>>> <?php function change_status($users_id, $change_flag, $conn) { $sql = sprintf("SELECT users_status FROM users where users_id = users_id"); $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM; $rs = &$conn->Execute($sql); foreach($rs as $k => $row) { $record = $row[0]; } $xor1 = base_convert($record, 2, 10); $xor2 = base_convert($change, 2, 10); $xor3 = ((int)$xor1 ^ (int)$xor2); $xor4 = sprintf("%b", $xor3); $sql = sprintf("UPDATE users SET users_status = '$xor4' WHERE users_id = $users_id"); $ADODB_FETCH_MODE = ADODB_FETCH_NUM; $rs = &$conn->Execute($sql); } //accessing the function: change_status(1, "1010101010101", $conn); ?> ========================== i hope some has the same problem I had and finds this useful... ;-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.gmp.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52352 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52352&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52352&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52352&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52352&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52352&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52352&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
