[PHP] Parsing commands to a program

[Liam MacKenzie]

Hello,

I was wondering, how would I pass commands to a program and print the
results on my screen?
For instance, to add an FTP user the command would be:
"pure-pw useradd joeblow -u ftpuser -d /home/joeblow"
How would I make a php script do that and display it's output when it's
done?

Thanks,
Liam

[PHP] script running under certain user

[val petruchek]

Hello, php-world!

I know my question a little offtopic;), but:

we have apache running under user "nobody".

now we want to change this user to another one on certain folder.
We want php to run under this new user.

We cannot change set httpd.conf to do it.

can anyone give an example of such solution?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] Can this be done in PHP?

[S.Murali Krishna]

Based on the GET_VARS you can identify the image and do some 
mapping stuffs to get the sitename. Then you can construct your header
accordingly with 'Location:' parameter to view that site.

Re: [PHP] Check Boxes and updating records. (HELP ME....)

[Yogesh]

Hi! I've developed something like this recently, i'll explain to you how
i proceeded, maybe that'll help you to solve your problem :-)

Here goes:
I have the following tables:
1. users (primary key: user_id)
2. categories (primary key: category_id)

Now, the users may be in different categories, i.e. there is a many-to-many
relationship between users and categories, thus i create the table
user_category which contains the following fields:
1.user_id
2.category_id

Now, for the part where i display the users for modification, i first query
my table users, to display all my users

$all = "select * from users";
$result = mysql_query($all) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
// i have a link on each user, e.g.
echo '";
}

}


This should do the trick!
You can try it and modify it to suit your needs. :-)
Now you can check new values and post your form to process the modification.

If that still doesn't work, please let me know, and i'll give you the
solution on Monday cos my stuffs are on my pc at work :-)

[PHP] [URGENT] PHP as an apache module on windows under cygwin

[Stephano Mariani]

Hi!
I am very new to both windows and PHP (coming from a solaris
environment), so please excuse me if the answer is glaringly obvious.

I have built and installed apache (1.3.23) on a windows 2000
Professional (SP2, build 2195) box with cygwin (1.3.9, I believe). The
build supports many of the modules included with apache and supports
shared objects. Some of the modules are built as shared objects.

Is there a way to use the win32 binaries with apache? I keep getting a
win32 error when apache tries to dlopen the php module.

If not, how can I build php 4.1.1 as a shared object for apache? Please
assume no knowledge on my part.

TIA

Stephano Mariani

Re: [PHP] Parsing commands to a program

[Jason Cox]

How I've done it in the past is to dynamically build the command string and
then pass it through the exec function like so:

$cmdStr = "pure-pw useradd joeblow -u ftpuser -d /home/joeblow";
exec($cmdStr);

The exec call won't display output but I believe if you use system($cmdStr)
it will.  I don't think this method will work if the useradd program prompts
for a password.  The exec and system calls just execute the command and
exit.

[PHP] Adding 6 digits to a str?

[Andy]

Hi guys,

I am trying to force a int to be 8 digits. If it is only 3 dig filling the
first ones with 0.

Anyhow I tryed it with type casting, but it does not matter what I try, I
always get an addition.

E.g:
  $member_id is: 136
   should be: 0136

Here is the code, which is still returning 136:

   for($i=0;$ihttp://www.php.net/)

Re: [PHP] Adding 6 digits to a str?

[Jeff Sheltren]

Why is it that you want to represent an int with leading 0's?  Is it just 
to print it out that way?  If that is the case, then you can use the printf 
function for formatted printing.

Hello,

I was wondering, how would I pass commands to a program and print the
results on my screen?
For instance, to add an FTP user the command would be:
"pure-pw useradd joeblow -u ftpuser -d /home/joeblow"
How would I make a php script do that and display it's output when it's
done?

Thanks,
Liam

How I've done it in the past is to dynamically build the command string and
then pass it through the exec function like so:

$cmdStr = "pure-pw useradd joeblow -u ftpuser -d /home/joeblow";
exec($cmdStr);

The exec call won't display output but I believe if you use system($cmdStr)
it will.  I don't think this method will work if the useradd program prompts
for a password.  The exec and system calls just execute the command and
exit.

[PHP] Limiting time of PHP script.

[Andre]

  I've a little PHP script that waits for commands and reply to them, it's 
setup to run from inetd, and so acts as a server.
  My problem is that I want to limit the time this script will wait for a 
command (in this case, a line, read by fgets), but set_time_limit seems to 
only count the time PHP spends executing the script, and not the time it 
waits for a line to be read, like the manual describes it.
  Is there a way to limit the time fgets will wait for a line, or another way 
to solve this problem? Any help is appreciated!
  Below I've attached part of my script.

Thanks!

What you are describing is called SPAMMING, something
we really, really dislike.

Answer to your question: yes, it's pretty simple, but PHP
is generally a language for web applications, I think Perl
is more suited for your needs.

And no, I do not want to teach anyone how to send 1,000
email to 1,000 different persons.

Hi Emile,

Have you tried to benchmark it?

Generate, say, something like 10e5 functions with random names and body.
and time it.

phpinfo()  will show you all the server variables 
at your disposal, including $QUERY_STRING.

parse_url()  is also a useful one to know about.

And explode()  will parse that comma-delimited list 
of coordinates into an array so you can access the values individually.

Cheers!

Hmmm.

I've also heard it described as a newsletter.
Or a mailing list.

A good program that does this is http://www.kingmailer.com/

Thirty bucks, with a built-in SMPT server.

Re: [PHP] Address unknown

[Jim Lucas [php]]

instead of using an image map, put the image in



and when you click on the image.  it will submit the form, which you can
have pointing at someplace.php,
and then when you parse the GET/POST vars you can look for the variables
someplace_x & someplace_y.
this will give you the x / y axis you are looking to find.

There are several very good reasons to need to do this.

PHP would suffice here just fine--and we are trying to dispel the
myth that PHP is a web-only language. However, in a case like
this, I'd suggest checking out a proper mailing list manager
such as majordomo or ezmlm.

You are confused. Spamming is sending the same message to the same
person more than once.

What I think you mean is unsolicited e-mail. The original poster did not
mention whether the people he wants to mail want to receive his
messages, so you can't assume that is necessarily unsolicited.

There is absolutely nothing in sending messages to thousands of users in
Perl that can't be done in PHP.

I am the developer of the PHP classes site. The site sends out regularly
notifications about new classes made available to about 30.000 users.
Each notification on takes 4 seconds to queue. The local mail server
takes care of delivery.

So why bother posting?!?

[PHP] Re: IP based redirection

[LaserJetter]

Don't worry, I'll post back to yourmessage with something relevant!

I would recommend redirecting according to what language the user has
selected in their browser as an IP address can be unreliable e.g. someone in
India could be using an IP address which is registered to an English
speaking company.
If you only wanted to allow certain users access to certain pages (those
using IP addresses which you know are from an Indian ISP) then this method
would be ok. You can read the $REMOTE_ADDR or $X_FORWARDED_FOR variables
from any PHP page usually and this will give you the IP of the user.

If your site is running on Apache web server, it has a built in language
selection 'service' which loads a page with a different file extension
depending on the language chosen by the user. If the user had [en-gb]
selected (english - uk) as their first language and a request is sent for
index.htm, Apache will produce index.htm.en instead but it will appear to
the user as index.htm (this might only work though if you request index.htm
by typing http://www.youraddress.com/). Similarly, if the user had [in]
selected for Indian Apache would produce index.htm.in
You have to enable this in httpd.conf and there's more infor in the Apache
docs I think.

One example is sending an update to all of the members who have created 
accounts on your site.  This wouldn't be considered spamming, because they 
have requested that you help keep them informed.

[PHP] Using IP as an identfier

[Razorfish]

Last week a thread went by that was a discussion on the merits of using the
REMOTE_ADDR as an element of several parts to "secure" (other unique items
were to be the USER_AGENT, etc.).  I'd like to incorporate the lists
collective wisdom.

What was the list's conclusion on this matter?  It seems that the IP can be
problematic due to proxy servers, and some AOL'ers can morph during their
session.

I think you are confused...  Unsolicited e-mail is in fact the
definition of spam!

Secondly, reasonable assumptions can often be made, for example, when I
see a message from you, its almost guaranteed that you'll be plugging
PHPClasses, or Metabase, or both.  Assumptions are why killfiles were
invented.

Ben, how you approach this will depend on how you have the data 
stored.  Let's assume two things:  you have the e-mail addresses and names 
in a database and know how to retrieve and store them into the variables 
$email and $name.  That said, create the body of your text:

$body = "
Dear $name,

Here are recent developments on our web site... etc.
";

Then use the mail function (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php) 
to send the letter to the person like this:

mail($email, "Site update", $body, "From:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]");

The next thing you'll probably start wondering is how to send fancy e-mail 
instead of those generic text based ones...  PHPBuilder has an article 
you'll want to check out located here: 
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/kartic2807.php3.

Re: [PHP] Re: Address unknown

[hugh danaher]

Thank you for your help regarding parsing the url (Hey, go figure, they
named the function almost exactly the same as my question.).

I am still at sea about getting all the information from the url header.  If
I leave the brackets empty [e.g. parse_url() ] I get an error saying I have
a parameter mismatch.  When I fill the brackets with $query_string, I get an
answer but it's in the form of an array.  Finally when I echo the array, the
"query" string echos in the "path" slot.  Any ideas?
Hugh

$p=parse_url($QUERY_STRING);
echo $p[host]." 1 ".$p[path]." 2 ".$p[query]." 3 ";

[PHP] Securite problem

[Roebie]

Dear all,
I have a index.php3 file in a password protected directory (on Windows)
which calls two other files with
require_once("../code/anolislib2.php3");
require_once("../code/pageslib1.php3");
These two files are in another (not protected) directory. When I try to open
index.php3 with IE5.5 nothing happens. The files are not included, I get no
error message and no code at all is executed.
Why is this and what can I do about it ?
Thanks for any help.
Roebie

I believe that require() and require_once() have a problem with relative paths.

See here for more info:

Re: [PHP] Securite problem

[rpruitt]

There are a few issues that could be involved, but the glaring big one is that
require_once() only works with PHP 4

The php3 extensions make me think you should simply use require()

[PHP] Re: Securite problem

[Roebie]

I have tried absolute paths but that does not solve the problem.
Unlike the filename extension suggests I am using php4.

The problem seems to be the password protection. When the three files are in
the same directory (be it protected or unprotected) everything works fine.
When index.php3 is in one directory and the other two files are in another
directory everything works fine but only if both directories are protected
or both are unprotected.

That including a script that is in a password protected directory is not
allowed seems reasonable to me, but the other way round ...?

Take a look at http://www.php.net/header, particularly the
Content-Disposition portion of it:

<<
If you want the user to be prompted to save the data you are sending, such
as a generated PDF file, you can use the Content-Disposition header to

You'll need to choose the correct content-type and filename of course.

No, with time, people started confusing definitions. You may not be
aware of it because you were too young and by that time you probably
even did not knew about what was the Internet. AFAIK, spam was, in the
early days when there was not even the Web, what was called to
cross-posting the same message to multiple newsgroups. Remeber Monty
Python sketch, they were complaining of more of the same spam.

Since often spam is also unsolicited, people started confusing concepts.
In mailing lists and newsgroups like this, messages are only unsolicited
when they become completely off-topic, which is not the case. You ought
to study a little history first before you decide to make any of my
message yet another pointless personal attack.

Sterling, you seem to be sick if you are watching every message I post
to jumping in to attack me or my work.

I was not even promoting the PHP Classes site. If I were I would post
its URL, which I didn't. I was sharing my knowledge on sending messages
to a large number of recipients. It happens that my knowledge on bulk
mailing is based on my experience sending notifications to the site
subscribers.

Since you are so obcessed to attack me probably because of possible
stupid envy, you could only see my message as another plug to promote
the site.

Sterling, get a grip, you would do much better in get rid of those
unjustifiable sick feelings that you hold against somebody like myself
that is still bothering to contribute to the PHP community providing a
PHP component sharing site that is accessed by many tens of thousands of
PHP users.

Another thing, is that you are so ungrateful because whatever I do to
let people know about the PHP Classes site is to bring people to the
site not only to share and benefit for each other PHP components, but
also to provide a substantial audience not only to the components that
the users share, but also to the reviews of PHP books like your own: PHP
Developers Cookbook.

http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/products.html/id/0672319241

I even tried to make a nice review, as usually I do with all books I
review because I know that it takes a lot of time to write a good book
and in the time you spent writing it you would probably earn more money
working on some paid PHP project than whatever you may ever earn from
selling the book.

I know that it isn't much, but 710 users went to Amazon eventually to
buy the your book because of this review. It is an humble contribution
to compensate for your effort and of other PHP book writers.

Anyway, I am considering discontinuing this section of the PHP Classes
site because it is not providing enough income to cover for the site
expenses. Now, after I read your personal attacks I wonder why am I
waiting to discontinue it when all I get for attempting to promote the
site to bring in more audience also for the book reviews, is just
personal attacks from authors like yourself?

Of course this hurts me bad, but I am kind of used to the hostility that
I get of envious unsensible PHP developers like yourself.

Right, now, if you do not have anything nicer to say to me, please don't
even bother to mail me.

Manuel Lemos

I do not advice anybody to send personalized bulk mail, even less in
PHP. It will take a lot of time to just queue the message in the local
relay mail server and since each message has to be stored separately in
the mail server queue disk consuming a lot of space.

What I recommend is to just queue a single message with all recepients
in Bcc:. This is better done with qmail using qmail-inject because you
do not have to actually add Bcc: headers to the message, just the
recipients addresses, one per line,  and then headers and the body of
the message. You may want to try this class for composing and sending
MIME messages. It has subclasses for queing with PHP mail function, SMTP
server, sendmail and qmail.

http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/9

If you can use it, I recommend to use qmail because it is much faster
than the other alternatives to queue message to be sent to many
recipients and also provides very good means to figure exactly which
addresses are bouncing your messages so you can process them eventually
unsubscribing the users in question, thanks to its VERP capability
(Variable Envelope Return Path). http://www.qmail.org/

If you want to send messages regularly to the same group of users, I
recommend that you use ezmlm-idx because it provides very efficient and
secure way to handle subscriptions and messages bouncings.
http://www.ezmlm.org/

I don't recommend the patches of ezmlm that let it be interfaced with
user lists maintained in MySQL or PostgreSQL. I doubt that those
databases are faster to query than DJB's cdb user list databases. Also,
I don't think that most people want the user to be deleted from a
database if it's address is bouncing for too long (11 days).

Anyway, you may want to look into this PHP web interface to create and
setup options of ezmlm mailing lists. It also comes with a SOAP server
interface that you can use to provide Web services to subscribe,
unsubscriber, verify and count users in ezmlm mailing lists.

Yep.  Here's an excerpt from the Email Abuse FAQ:

'First, a short lesson on the term "SPAM". Spam describes a particular kind 
of Usenet posting (and canned spiced ham), but is now often used to 
describe many kinds of inappropriate activities, including some 
email-related events. It is technically incorrect to use "spam" to describe 
email abuse, although attempting to correct the practice would amount to 
tilting at windmills.'

[PHP] use_trans_sid

[Justin French]

Hi,

When I run phpinfo(), use_trans_sid is set to 1 (assume 1 = enabled) on
both my test server, and on my live server.  Great!

Only trouble is, when I disable cookies in my browser, the sessions are
lost (in this case, each page asks me to login, rather than only once).

Is there anything special I have to do to ensure I have a system which
uses cookies by default, and use_trans_sid as a second option, without
have to carry the SID around in the URL? (page.php?)?

I have an image file which is a map of the local area.  I want to put symbols on the

My site has imaging enabled and I can create graphs from scratch, but this has stumped 
me so far.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

code? below:

$image=imagecreate(400,400);  // created image

// source image info
$source="map1.jpg";
$imageinfo = getimagesize($source); 
$source_00=0;   //  origin (0,0)
$source_width=$imageinfo[0];
$source_height-$imageinfo[1];
$image_00=0;   //  origin (0,0)


imagecopy($image,$source, $image_00, $image_00, $source_00, $source_00, $source_width,

While I've never done this before,
 couldn't you use a session and have session variables tied to the user name
and password and then have the logout function kill the session?

If you feed parse_url() something other than a URL (a query string being a 
URL *fragment* rather than a URL itself), it's not surprising that it will 
return weird results.

When you echo $QUERY_STRING, what value are you getting?  For...

I'd expect it to be "98,165".  IOW, pre-parsed, no need to parse_url().

[PHP] testing for cookies capable client (browser)

[Justin French]

Hi,

Is there a simple method for checking if cookies are enabled (able to be
set) on a browser?  The only method I can think of is setting the
cookie, then refreshing the page (or going to another URL) in order to
tet if the cookie exists... which sounds messy.

I'd prefer not to use anything client-side (javascript etc).


Has anyone got some code (simular to above, or a better solution) or
examples they can post?

It is the only reliable method, but make sure if you try persistent
cookies first to fallback to session cookies if persistent fail.

The user may have a cookie enabled browser with Javascript disabled.

[PHP] FastTemplate Not Working after PHP Migration

[Chris Williams]

My service provider has migrated from V4.0.1?? (not sure of exact version
because it’s history) to V4.0.6.

Under V4.01?? I was using FastTemplate and it worked fine now under 4.06 I
am getting the following error. Warning: Invalid content of \{\} in
FastTemplate/class.FastTemplate.php3 on line 213. I am aware of and have
implemented the FastTemplate patch for version 4 (I had to before this
upgrade took place). Also I tested my parsing script on two other servers I
work on, one with Ver 4.0.4pl1 and another with V 4.06. Both of the other
environments execute FastTemplate with no complications.

Since I’m no expert on the installation of PHP I’m not sure what to tell my
service provider other that “My Scripts Don’t Work Any More”. Any advice on
phrasing this complaint would be helpful.

Regards,
Chris Williams

[PHP] RANT: Why doesn't PHP have built-in support for dynamic image generation?

[Erica Douglass]

Forgive my grumpiness, but I've spent the last several hours trying to
install GD, etc.

Let's be honest. PHP needs built-in support for creating dynamic images. JSP
already has this. Heck, you could even make it a configure option. As it
stands now, you have to do the following:

-- Install GD
-- Install all of GD's numerous dependencies
-- Install zlib
-- Install freetype
-- Install libttf

THEN you have to compile PHP with all of the requisite options to enable GD
here and Freetype there, and PHP often won't compile without specifying
/path/to/various/options, so you have to dig around your system to find out
where everything was installed. This results in a long and unwieldy
configure statement which often does not work.

PHP needs to have a simple configure option called --enable-dynamic-images
or something similar. This should use built-in libraries that are downloaded
with the PHP source to create PNG images. Images can then be created with
standard PHP functions. This would be much more useful than relying on
several third-party solutions which do not easily work with each other. This
would also have the benefit of being more portable -- as I plan to release
my code to several different people running different types of servers, I
would like to minimize compatibility issues.

If anyone has a better solution, feel free to email me. As it stands, I am
very frustrated with this, and I haven't yet seen the light at the end of
the tunnel.

Thanks,
Erica

Re: [PHP] file validation

[Mike Frazer]

A slightly less cumbersome method than the while() loop below would be a
foreach() loop:

function check_file($filename) {
if (!$lines = file($filename)) {
return false;
}
  foreach ($lines as $line) {
$num_pipes = substr_count($line, '|');
if ($num_pipes < 2 || $num_pipes > 4) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

Same result, probably absolutely no measurable (and we're talking fractions
of microseconds here) difference in speed, but much easier to read.

Re: [PHP] RANT: Why doesn't PHP have built-in support for dynamic image generation?

[Ed Lazor]

Hi Erica,

I feel your pain - I've been dealing with the same thing this week.  I 
finally got the compile to complete and the system up and running, but it 
was painful.  It seemed like everything was finished, but I've noticed high 
server loads (.8), trouble accessing web pages (I tested using wget and it 
had to try 6 times to get the page and kept reporting EOF in headers), and 
my MySQL server keeps reporting errors communicating with the web server, 
and dropped connections to the MySQL server.  Safe to say, something didn't 
work and I need to start over and pray for the best.

Have you gotten it to work properly?  If so, what files did you use and 
what steps did you take in the install?

-Ed

Re: [PHP] RANT: Why doesn't PHP have built-in support for dynamicimage generation?

[Weston Houghton]

Anybody interested in working on a PEAR module to interface PHP with
something like ImageMagick directly? I would love to see it. Maybe if I am
unemployed long enough soon I can work on it myself. Not that I really want
that to happen...

I think that might be the best solution for PHP's lack of image
functionality though...
