[PHP] PHP & QUERY_STRING
Hello, My web server hdd just crashed, and I have replaced and rebuilt it with a new drive. All of my websites have been transferred over the the new site from backup, and I am having a problem with PHP seeing GET variables. My searching says that I should look in the php.ini file, but cannot see any settings that would apply. Can any one help, eg http://webserver/stav.php?Action=Run stav.php Any suggestions or pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi there. When an array is 'used' with something like do while I can't re-access it later in the page. It is as if the array gets used up and doesn't exist. The array is from a select statement using myself. I have inserted a duplicate array with a different name to get around this but figure there must be a simpler way. Any ideas please?

[PHP] file functions and clearstatcache

I have a function that checks whether a file exists and loads it like so

if (file_exists($bar))

include($bar);
}
}
According to clearstat cache, its use is for files that change often.
In my case the files are static,
so I wanted to be clear, as to whether I should/shouldn't be using
clearstatcache() in my sudo function??

Re: [PHP] SQ: what does the & sign do
Its a Reference Operator. You can use it to reference variables to one
another, like $a = &$b; meaning that anytime you change the value of $a it
would change the value of $b
Used for functions works in the same way. Its a way of improving the scope
of a variable. Instead of passing a value to the function and working with
that value only in the function, its a reference to a global function and
will change the value outside the function.

[PHP] Full-Duplex communication
Hi, We have developed a client-server application where the server needs to send asynchronous data to the client. Now since we are using Apache/PHP/MySQL, the client needs to poll the server periodically for information. I was thinking if there was some way to get around this basic problem. I understand that this is how things are supposed to work, but it would be just great if i could PUSH data from the server to the client, using HTTP. Since HTTP is a request/response based protocol, Apache would not send any data to the client asynchronously. So what i was thinking was - If i tell the server to allow Keep-Alive connections, and increase the timeout value and max requests, I would effectively have a constant TCP connection. Now the only problem would be of sending asynchronous data to the client. Solution? Here goes - If there was some way in which i could get hold of the file descriptor(socket) that is being used by apache to write data to the client, then i could, from a PHP script also send any data to the client using the socket functions of PHP since i already have the socket with me. This would mean that the client doesnt have to poll the server for data any more... and if the connection does get closed, the client could reconnect to the server asking for another keep-alive connection. Now I know that this is probably the wrong place to put such a query - maybe the apache list would have been better. But since I'm using PHP out here, i thought i'd give it a try. Does the solution sound very outlandish? Are there any pitfalls? And finally, how do i get hold of the socket?

Hi! I'm looking for an answer to your questions as well, so if you do find a solution on other lists, could you please post it here as well? Regarding the issue, your proposal wouldn't make for full-duplex as far as I understand since I don't see how the client would be able to send any data on the same connection _after_ getting connected. What are you using on the other end of the pipe (on the client)? Plain HTML? Flash? Java? Something else?

You'll have to come up with a regular expression to check for bad characters. How complex are the equations?

[PHP] Java PHP Integration
I was wondering if anyone uses php to call enterprise javabeans?
I wrote a java class that is accessed by some php code. This java class
calls an EJB and gets a custom object returned to the java class called
report. When I returned the custom object to php to reference, everything I
try to ouput in the object gets outputed as "Object".
Tried this way
$Client = new Java("Custom.Client");
$Report=$Client->getTheReport(String str);
echo($Report->Jobs[0]->getjobnum());
And this way
$Client = new Java("Custom.Client");
$Client->getTheReport(String str);
echo($Client->thereport->Jobs[0]->getjobnum());
Any help or links to anyone that tried this would be useful.

Re: Re: [PHP] Full-Duplex communication
Hi, Tx for your very prompt reply. Yeah, I'll post the solution as soon as I find it someplace. Let me outline the problem in more detail - Client (VC++) calls a PHP script on the server, specifies the connection type as Keep-Alive. The PHP script, somehow (still a big question) gets the socket on which the apache server has received the client request (so that it can send data to the client later) and stores it in a database. Now whenever another PHP script wants to send data asynchronously to the client, it gets the socket from the database, and just calls a write() on it. Since the connection is still open (Keep-Alive), the client receives the information, and doesnt have to poll the server periodically. The application of this is indeed destined for a messaging product, and could benefit a lot of other areas as well. The only thing that is needed is the socket from apache. Someone somewhere knows how to get this done, i'm sure :) Possibly a hack into the PHP module can get this done, i'm open to suggestions. Tx, Vinod.

What I gave was a very simplistic example. The numbers are actually going to be table.fieldnames and the values in those fields are going to be referenced to get the actual number used in the equation. However, once I interpolate the fieldnames to numbers I guess I could run the equation against some sort of regex to make sure that it's valid. hmmm Might be easier than I thought.

Re: [PHP] Secure eval();
Are you sure you have to run it through eval()? It sounds like you're creating a query. Couldn't you just create the query dynamically, then put it in a mysql_query() function?

Try some kung fu? Never heard it put like that before. :P
I am kind of creating a query. The equation is going to look something like
this:
(({table1.field1} * {table2.field2}) + {table3.field3})
Then I'm going to get the values in those fields and parse the above as if they
were macros (which, in a sense, they are). That could yield something like:
((8 * 5) + 3)
and it is that equation that I'm going to need to eval. So I don't think I'll be able
to do this in a query.

That's line 14. So, "install" isn't set, but you're using it as if it
was.

You have different error reporting levels on the different servers.
One option to solve the problem is change error reporting. The more
preferable thing to do is this:
if ( empty($_POST['install']) ) {
$install = '';
} else {
$install = $_POST['install'];
}

Re: [PHP] Mcrypt: Blowfish or Twofish or no fish?
hiya, twofish runs at just over 25MB/sec when compiled into a test VC++ application, blowfish runs at 18MB/sec. As far as I remember, if you use the same keylenght (256 or 128) then you should get around the same level of encryption (probably not exact, but if one was that much weaker there'd be a warning on the Mcrypt page).

RE: [PHP] timezone problem
Here's what I was just thinking. This timezone seems too complicated and what do you guys think about me just displaying all the times in GMT and then allow the user to set to their local time by selecting a pulldown list of all the times GMT -11 to GMT +12. set local time to 1:10pm set local time to 2:10pm set local time to 3:10pm set local time to 4:10pm . . .

[PHP] Post form values - script flow
I am very new to PHP about two hours. I have a search page that I post back

determine what function to call. I either call a welcome message function
to be printed to the page or a function to search a database and build a
table of results. I have included my script belowMy question is: Is
this a good way to handle search forms with PHP? Since I have no examples
to work from I am not sure what the proper way is.
Thanks for the help.

Re: [PHP] Post form values - script flow
Looks good Tim.
if you're going to do it this way, make sure register_globals is set on in
your php.ini. also you check isset($srch) AND strlen(trim($srch)). in most
cases, both checks won't be necessary. unless you have high error
reporting, and php will complain if you check a variable that hasn't been
set yet.

Make sure you check if the tables are valid and present
in the database. But like others have suggested, you
should *really* look for a better way to do this.
Putting text into a database and then blindly eval()'ing
it later on is just begging for trouble.

What version of php are you using? In PHP versions before 4.2.0 needle was not
allowed to be an array.

[PHP] substr....what does this mean? (newbie)
Hi ppl,
Can you tell me what does this mean?
if (substr($text, -1) == ".")
{$test = substr($text, 0, -1);}
I know the if part searches the $text from the starting for the "."
I am just confused about what the second and third arguement does in the
substr. (Second line)
I know that this is an easy question for you PHP guys out there,
and I know i will get an answer,
so I thank you all in advance.
Cheers
-Ryan A.

Rijndael is the AES (http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/) block cypher of choice. You can take it all the way up to 256 and its a standard. Of course that can mean one of two things: it was approved either because it can be broken, or because it is infact good. How paranoid are you 8-) I don't know though how fast it is.

RE: [PHP] substr....what does this mean? (newbie)
-1 is the index of the char number you want to examine.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php
So that code is checking the last char of the string
to see if its ".", if it is, it returns everything *except*
the ".".
Please consult the online manual in the future...
it wants to be your friend.

One problem (syntax issues aside) is that it doesn't seem to be checking
for anything remotely similar to a valid email address.
Here's what we use. Not 100% perfect but closer than most, I think:
function validate_email ($addr)
{
return
preg_match('/^[^\'"\s,;]+@([a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9\-]*\.)+[a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9\-]*[a-z0-9]+$/i',
trim($addr)));

[PHP] OOP with PHP
Yesterday, I read in the archives somewhere that in PHP, class attributes are all static attributes (class variables), not instance variables. (Figures, I can't find it again, so I can't provide a link.) In other words, the attributes apply to every single instance of an object. This contradicts my limited experience with OOP in PHP, but I hoped someone could confirm this before I write up this giant class I'm working on. Thanks!

You don't need it unless you expect the file will have changed during a
single execution of your PHP program (i.e., the .01sec - 30sec that it
takes to run). This does not sound like anything you need to worry about.

[PHP] smtp
I am trying to use the "smtp class" from phpguru.org with a mysql database
using PHP. My question is this. I understand that I can send out email to
multiple email addresses using this class. How can I populate these arrays
with the email addresses. The fields that would have all of the addresses
in them would be the ones that have [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the address.
$send_params['recipients'] = array('[EMAIL PROTECTED]'); // The recipients
(can be multiple)
$send_params['headers'] = array('From: "' . $mailer . '" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>',
'To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' , 'Subject: ' . $mail_subject
);
I figure that I would be using a while loop like the following:
while($query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
$row=mysql_fetch_object($result);
// This is where I would use something to add $row->email to the arrays.
}
Thank you in Advance

I just noticed in your code that you call fetch_row and
fetch_object...that's going to mess up things. just call one or the other.

[PHP] Mail() function performance/optimization question
Adding a mail() step to my page increases the page load time from an average of about 2 seconds to nearly 8 seconds. That would be OK if the page completed displaying all the text and then just kind of hung there while the mail() function finished. The page I am using, by the way, is a 5-column/3-row table listing some project information, pulled from a MySQL database. Is there anything I can do to make this appear more responsive for the user? It would be nice if it was actually more responsive, but the illusion will do just fine. I¹ve tried moving the mail() function around in the order, but no matter what it causes part of the page to not finish displaying until mail() has completed. Wes

Restart your web server when you make changes to php.ini.
Also, note that these functions are for the printer on the server, i.e.
where the code is running.

Re: [PHP] How to simultaneously send HTML *and* start download?
Use PHP to write a META-REFRESH to the file that's going to be downloaded,
or a php file that controls the download. Basically, you show them an HTML
page that says the download will begin, the META tag refreshes after X
seconds to the actual file, and the download box pops up.

I was obviously overlooking the simple solution. But, just out of curiousity, does that mean that you *can't* do what I was at first trying to do - that is use PHP to send a file and some HTML as some kind of multipart content to a browser? -- == D.

Thanks, Billy! That's really helpful. I'm curious as to the significance
of the number 12399. Is this just a random number used as a separator,
or does it indicate the length of one of the parts? (In other words
should I alter the boundary marker to reflect the content I'm sending?)

[PHP] Which weblog package
I'm in charge of setting up a web site/community for a non-profit group. We are looking for a few key features: weblog, forums, a calendar, possibly web-mail (not all of these need to be offered in the same package, of course). Other features may be added as time goes on. To start with, I'm focusing on the weblog. I've been browsing around & come accross several: PHPSlash, PHPNuke, PostNuke, Thatware, and of course Slash... Whichever package I use must be stable for a low to moderate volume production site, have reasonably simple administration (some moderator-level admins may be non-techical), a high degree of aesthetic customizability, and it must be stable. As a user, I am very partial to the features offered by Slash 2.0. but not being a Perl guy, would much prefer something PHP based. In addition, anyone who has ever attempted to install Slash knows that there are few programs that have more absurd requirements (They strongly recommend that you recompile MySQL, PERL, and Apache to run it. Oh, yeah, they also do not recommend you run PHP on the same site...) What have you had luck with? What hasn't worked out? I like Slash, but is it worth the hassles?

Re: [PHP] printer_open
hiya,
there's not that much you can do directly (i.e.: without some activeX
controls which the client has to accept and then only work on IE),
you can print a document in JavaScript with window.print();
Something like this would work if you wanted to print the document on
screen:

RE: [PHP] Re: Mcrypt: Blowfish or Twofish or no fish?
It is a one way hash that many people use for simple encryption...however, it should not be used for encrypting sensitive information...some people have used it for encrypting data contained in files... For example do a md5 hash then encrypt the hash Thanks, Ray Hunter -Original Message- From: Thalis A.

Re: [PHP] Full-Duplex communication
For your specific problem, I think Mr. Lemos has provided a viable solution (using print() or echo() and flush() whenever you need to, instead of grabbing the socket and write() to it). My problem however is how you envision solving the communication the other way around (i.e. when the CLIENT wants to send data to the server).

[PHP] "Zend Timeout Window" crashed due to an Access Violation. -- Any ideas?
Hi there!, I've been testing some code for a company and I'm encountering something which I've never found before, right after making a call to a simple DB abstraction class which basically just makes a call to odbc_connect, then odbc_do, and then loops through the data saving the value of any field which is inside a passed array. Every time it access's this class, Norton crashguard pops up with the following: "'Zend Timeout Window' crashed due to an Access Violation." "Zend Timeout Window" is hidden, and I assume only exists for the lifetime of a PHP interpreter request. Does anyone know of a documented or undocumented problem using odbc_* under windows that causes the underlying Zend system to croak? TIA, Dw.

[PHP] do I need sessions?
I've an array $layer in php, I pass this to javascript, JS can then
add/remove elements and I get it back in php. I do this using:
layerDesStr = ''; // php to JS
// JS to php
for(var i = 1; i < layer.length; i++) {
goURL = goURL + "&layer[]=" + layer[i];
}
document.location.href = goURL;
I retrieve them in my php code using $HTTP_GET_VARS["layer"]
This is fine when the user uses JS to modify the array, but if the user
uses JS to modify it and then wants to do some operation on it in php,
this variable ($layer) doesn't show up, because now
$HTTP_GET_VARS["layer"] is not defined.
My ques. is how do I save the variable betn. successive clicks by the
user, do I need sessions? I tried the foll. without success:

Re: [PHP] How to simultaneously send HTML *and* start download?
I just thought that members of this list following this thread might
like to know the results of my experimenting with this technique:
All tests on Linux (testing on Windows 98 tomorrow):
* Mozilla 0.9.9 worked perfectly.
* Netscape 4.78 appeared to work but downloaded file was very
slightly larger than original (can't tell if that's a problem
because it's a Windows binary).
* Konqueror 2.2.1 downloaded the binary, but opened a file save
as dialog defaulted to the script name not the name in
Content-Disposition, and failed to display the HTML.
* Opera 5.05 (don't have 6.0 yet) crashes instantly and crashes
X with it!
I'll let you know (if you're interested) the results of testing on
Windows tomorrow. Look like it might have to be the meta http-equiv
refresh technique after all (although I'm worried about the browser
attempting to display the file instead of saving it with that
technique).
Thank to everyone for their help.
Best, Darren
