[PHP] Automatic Form Generation with PHP

[debbie_dyer]

Hi

We are shortly to release the next version of Form Generator Pro (automatic generation 
of HTML form/PHP processing code) and are looking for some comments on the way in 
which we intend to make the software available.

Due to the fact that we cannot distribute this PHP application without comprising 
copyright (the Zend Encoder is not an affordable option for us - we are a small 
start-up business), the current version of Form Generator Pro is only available for 
use online at the C U Online site which is fine because 1. it only generates mail 
forms and 2. it's free. However this won't work for version 2 because version 2 
automatically generates forms for MySQL databases by querying the database for table 
information (field lengths, types etc). Opening up connections from our server to 
other servers to get database info is not an option - for security reasons (and also 
many MySQL servers are set up to only accept local connections anyway for this reason).

To resolve this problem, the software has been split into 2 parts. The part that 
retrieves the database information sits on the customers server (secured). Field 
definitions are then extracted and sent to the generator which remains on our site. I 
will stress here that no actual database data is sent between the 2 servers, nor any 
MySQL server usernames or passwords - just the field lengths, types etc of the 
selected table. Access to the generator will then be sold as opposed to selling the 
actual software (although mail form generation will remain free). This is not an ideal 
solution but it seems to be the only way to make the software available and at the 
same time protect copyright.

I would be grateful for any thoughts from other businesses/developers on this solution.

[PHP] Getting a mysql set info

[Henry]

Hi All,

I would like to get at the SET information for a particular field in a MySQL
database.

I know how to get the type, length, name and flags alla the manual pages
but;

If I have a field which is of type SET ('one','two','three','four') how can
I get at this information from within PHP in order to generate a collection
of checkboxes for setting the field in HTML.

Any Help Much Appreciated

Henry

Re: [PHP] Re: session_start function breaks flush function in 4.2.1

[Chris]

Michael,

Thanks for the detailed reply. After some tests of my own I'd realized it
was the trans-sid parameter that was giving me problems. In 4.2.1, php is
compiled with this parameter set by default - it would appear.

I'll give your idea a try - thou' I'll have to reinstate my script, since
I'd written a work around - basically I echo the message, and recall the
script with a meta refresh to do the actual processing.

Thanks again,
Chris

I can't speak for the differences between 4.1.1 and 4.2.1, but maybe
the following information will help you:

On my site I have a custom error handler than displays a "friendly"
error message screen and emails me an error report.  I use output
buffering because if an error occurs I don't want this friendly error
message screen to be rendered in the middle of whatever else was going
on when the error occured...I get the contents of the buffer and then
and then call ob_end_clean() to empty it before I display the friendly
error message.

I noticed that this was not working properly on one section of my site
that used sessions.  I noticed that if I called session_start() and
then an error occured, I got the error message in the middle of the
the page, just as if I hadn't cleared the buffer.

I then discovered why...  I am using trans sid support to perpetuate
the session id, and apparently this is implemented internally using an
output buffer.  Trans sid buffers the page output, then rewrites the
hrefs and insert the hidden form values before flushing the buffer to
the screen.  Apparently you can start multiple buffers, and they are
stacked.  If you call a buffer function such as ob_end_clean(), it
*automatically* operates on the last buffer in the stack...i.e. the
buffer that was most recently created.  In my case this buffer what
the trans sid one, and NOT the one that I started.

To make a long story short, I had to end up calling ob_end_clean()
TWICE...once to flush the trans sid buffer and once more to flush
mine.  Maybe something similar is at work with your problem.  Try
calling the flush function twice back to back and see if that makes
any difference...

If anyone knows of a way to determine how many output buffers have
been started or are currently active please let me know...

Re: [PHP] Getting a mysql set info

[debbie_dyer]

You need to use SHOW COLUMNS FROM table LIKE 'yoursetfieldname'

You can then retrieve the values from the ["Type"] column which will look
like - set('val1','val2'...etc) - you will need to parse this string

[PHP] Newsletter Script

[Sascha Braun]

Hi,

I wanted to write an Newsletter script. So I created two tables in my Database. One is 
storing the Newsletters and one is Storing the bunch of folks who want to have them.

Everything works fine, I can write the Newsletter very easy in my selfwritten admin 
tool, but when I send the Newsletter
only the first person in the list it getting this awfull Newsletter.

Here is the script which sends out the Newsletter:

if ($_REQUEST['action'] == 'send') {

 $Query = "SELECT * FROM newsletters_db WHERE id = '".$_REQUEST['id']."'";
 $Result = mysql_query($Query, $connect);
 $arrResult = mysql_fetch_array($Result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
  $MailQuery = "SELECT * FROM newsletter_db";
  $MailResult = mysql_query($MailQuery, $connect);
  $subject = $arrResult['head'];
  $message = $arrResult['text'];
  while ($arrMailResult = mysql_fetch_array($MailResult, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
  
   mail($arrMailResult['address'], $subject, $message,
 "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\r\n"
."Reply-To: info@$SERVER_NAME\r\n"
."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()) or die(mysql_error());
  }
 echo 'Newsletter erfolgreich verschickt.';
}

Would be nice if i could get a hint =O)

[PHP] Ftp_size returns wrong file size

[Rudolf Visagie]

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know why ftp_size returns the wrong file size? I get 1069602
bytes instead of  1065635 (which it should be) and 10458669 instead of
10419043. A difference of 3967 and 39626 does not really give me any clues.
I know the manual says that not all servers support this feature, but then I
suppose I should get -1 and not a numeric size.

What are you going to do about customers who don't have PHP? To run the

First: Check if you send headers:
  header('Pragma: no-cache');
  header('Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 GMT');
  header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, private');

Second: If your appache sends "HTTP 1.0" try to change to "HTTP 1.1".
"HTTP 1.0" "do not know" Cache-Control.

In the german apache Mailinglist somebody wrote some like this:

a) aktivate the modul mod_expires.so
b) Fill in the lines
# enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
# expire php pages after a minute in the client's cache
ExpiresByType text/php A6

into httpd.conf

But I don't really know if it works (:0

Thought about I maybe have to write

application/x-httpd-php

instead of text/php

Please tell me if it works

Re: [PHP] Re: Automatic Form Generation with PHP

[debbie_dyer]

Hi Henry

Well the software generates the code to process the forms as well (eg for an
insert form the code to check required fields are not empty, perform any
data validation and insert the record into the db) as well as the forms
themselves and this code is in PHP. You can choose to generate a sticky form
where you would get 1 PHP page (containing a mixture of PHP and HTML) or
non-sticky where you would get separate HTML & PHP pages for the
forms/processing. Because all this generated processing code is in PHP
customers who don't have PHP either wouldn't be interested in the software
or if they were interested in the software they would need to install it -
both to use the software and also to be able to use the processing code that
it generated.

Hello!
I want to write a line into a file (called $script) wich goes like that:

 echo "`date` 192.168.10.123 is down, lets call the admin. I was
sleeping for 10 Minutes | smbclient -M Computer

This is what i have tried:
exec("echo "echo "`date` ===> $ip is down, lets call the admin. I
was sleeping for $var_timer_rechner1 Minutes" | smbclient -M $popup_1" >>
$script");

The problem is that after
exec("echo "
its command ends due to that ".

I tried \" to let php ignore this " but then it doesn´t write my " anymore:
 exec("echo \"echo \"`date` ===> $ip is down, lets call the admin. I
was sleeping for $var_timer_rechner1\" | smbclient -M $popup_1\" >>
$script");

this is the result:
echo Wed Sep 25 12:29:17 CEST 2002 ===> 192.168.10.1 is down, lets call the
admin. I was sleeping for  | smbclient -M Server

but i want:

Re: [PHP] Re: Automatic Form Generation with PHP

Hi Debbie,

That's fair enough. How are you ensure that only valid servers request
information from the field enquiry part?

Otherwise people might be able to use this part to gain access to the
database structure if not the actual data.

Shouldn't you have some selection criteria after

??

Other than that if its not dying and you actuall do have more than one
recipient I cannot see it.

[PHP] looping through array with list()/each()

[Kevin Porter]

OK so I've done this hundreds of times, but this time I cannot get it to
work.

Please cast an eye over the following code and output and tell me why $k and
$v are not being set:


Code:
-

$ser = array( 'first', 'second', 'third', 'fourth', 'fifth' );

reset($ser);
while ( list($key, $val) = each($ser) );
{
echo "\$key = $key, \$val = $val";
}

-


Output:
--

$key = , $val =

--

I tried giving the $ser array numeric keys and string keys, both made no
difference.


thanks,

- Kev

Re: [PHP] Re: Automatic Form Generation with PHP

[debbie_dyer]

Hi Henry

On set up of the side of the software that sits on the customers server a
table is created for users. Adminstration screens are provided for
adding/deleting users and a user can only gain access by logging in and they
can only log in if a record exists in this table. The whole thing (on this
side) is secured by cookies. After logging in the software attempts to
connect to a MySQL database using the host, username, pass & db name
specified in a mysqlvars.php file - these vars are never passed across the
network. No usernames/passwords either for MySQL or access to the software
are stored in the cookie - the cookie is authenticated using a checksum
value.

The generator side is secured by sessions but again no MySQL vars are sent
across nor any access usernames/passwords for the customer software. What is
sent between the servers is: 1. the customers email address and password for
the generator (encoded and different from their MySQL/customer software
username/passwords) and. 2. table structure information which has been
retrieved. This information could of course be intercepted but could be of
no use to a hacker without a valid username and password for the MySQL
database.

If you disagree please tell me. It's this aspect of the software (security)
that causes most concern as with any application enabling online access to
databases.

Re: [PHP] MyPHPNuke1.8.8-1 *** Nuked ***

[Miles Thompson]

Some themes are not as fully worked out as they should be. At the MySQL 
console, use this to reset the them to PostnukeSilver.

mysql> update nuke_module_vars set pn_value = 's:14:"PostNukeSilver";' 
where pn_id = '9'

The "s" denotes a string
The "14" is the length of the theme name
Make certain the name you use matches the case used in the directory 
holding the theme.
The closing ";" must be included.

I also tried clicking and swearing, but the system would not respond. 

Hope this helps - Miles Thompson

Small typo:

while ( list($key, $val) = each($ser) );

change into:

while ( list($key, $val) = each($ser) )

Remove the ";"

single and double qoutes in the whole file

PHP limitation that scripts have 30 seconds to complete. This can be
changed in PHP.ini or with a function call at the beginning of the
script.

RE: [PHP] slashes added before '

[John Holmes]

Use stripslashes() on the text before you write it to the file. Where is
this text coming from? The slashes are probably getting added by
magic_quotes.

[PHP] pretty simple problem in mailing a dynamic page

[usha]

I just want to email a dynamic page ( So I designed a page consisting  of datas pulled 
from db and are formated with html tags: here in below code $d is such variable to be 
mailed)

But the problem is that, instead the code contained in $d is sent.

The code is as such:
$ebody="$d";
mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "The subject",$ebody,"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n");

Cna anyone give me solution for this pretty simple problem.
Regards
Usha

Re: [PHP] slashes added before '

[debbie_dyer]

You probably have magic_quotes_gpc in php.ini off on your Windows platform
and on on your Linux platform

Magic_quotes_gpc automatically applies addslashes to POST, GET and cookie
data if its on.

Use stripslashes to remove it or to write code thats portable - write a
function like:-

function stripData($data) {
  return ini_get('magic_quotes_gpc') ? stripslashes($data) : $data;
}

Hi,
 
I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to get sessions to work on
my local machine.
 
I am using easyPhp 1.6 to run my design platform, but have been unable
to get the sessions to work.
I tried the pages on a website and all worked so its not the scripts.
 
Any suggestions appreciated.
 
Thanks

[PHP] replacing literal " in string

[ROBERT MCPEAK]

Could somebody help me with the correct syntax for an ereg_replace to
replace literal occurences of the quote character in a string.  I can't
seem to get it right.

In other words, I have a form input variable -- that literally may look
like this:  "some_value", and I want it to literally look like this:
some_value.

I tried:
$key=str_replace ("\"", "", "$key");
and other variations but can't get it to work.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

[PHP] Authentication on NT??

[Per Lundkvist]

Hi
I have installed PHP on a Windows NT Server 4.0 and it works (almost) fine!
The thing is that I get the "Enter network password" - prompt when I first
go to a PHP-file. Not if I go to an ASP file.

So if I just hit enter in the prompt, I get in to the PHP-page and can
continue surfing.
I guess it has something with Anonymous user to do, but I dont know what?!

hi all.

i'm interested in creating a php game that generates a page of random (ish)

waldo, they're taken to the next, slightly harder level.

anyone think that sounds fun?
any pointers, tips, advice, criticisms?

Does anyone have a good php script that will test (i.e. benchmark) my MySQL
machine and my Web server?

Thanks!

This is for java, javascript, or flash, not much to do for php.

Give ab a go - it comes with Apache, you should find it in your bin/
directory.

"man ab" for all the gory details.

Re: [PHP] where's waldo

[@ Edwin]

True. Perhaps.

But, I think, you can actually do something like that WITH php. Say
PHP+Flash or PHP+Javascript...

Of course, if you're able to do something like this just by using
PHP+Javascript (and HTML only), most probably, you can just take a peek at
the code and find out where "waldo" is... ;)

One more thing... if you store your 'waldo co-ordinates' data in a text
file, make sure it is in a directory outside of the webtree...

Re: [PHP] replacing literal " in string

[Kevin Stone]

Robert,

That str_replace() you wrote should work.  But you might also try these
variations..

$key = str_replace('"', '', $key);
$key = str_replace(chr(34), '', $key);

Good luck,
Kevin

Good idea!

And your idea about this is also great:

  

It should work...

I forgot that there was someting like that in HTML... :)

Re: [PHP] authenticating and redirecting with special access

[Bryan Koschmann - GKT]

Chris,

That is a very good point. As stupid as it sounds, I forgot about the
include() statement (still new I guess, not used to all this extra cool
stuff!).

When I was suggesting the .htaccess, I was thinking more of the "require
valid-user" and thinking maybe the php could tell it whether it is a valid
user, but now as I look at my logs, the php login doesn't actually log the
same type of username, so I guess that wouldn't work.

I'm curious though, the file I need to include is just an html file, and
also has links to others in that same directory (along with images). ow
will this work, since the links would be trying to point to something in a
web location?

Thanks for all your help!

Bryan

[PHP] Time is off?

[Brandon Orther]

Hello,
 
I am trying to figure out why Squirrel Mail is giving the wrong time.  I
did a basic script   and the time is off in that
script too.  I have checked the server time and the server hardware
clock.  They are both on.  Does anyone know a reason that the php time
would be off?  I am thinking maybe a setting in the php.ini or
something?
 
Thanks for any help,

[PHP] Cronjob

[Daren Cotter]

I have PHP installed on a Cobalt RaQ550. I know there
are two ways of installing PHP, one as a binary, and
one as an Apache module. I am pretty sure PHP gets
installed as an Apache module for the Cobalt
installation.

My problem, is that I absolutely NEED to run a PHP
script using crontab. The script needs to send
numerous queries to a database every hour. Is there
any way I can accomplish this, directly or indirectly?

[PHP] Re: Cronjob

[Philip Hallstrom]

You could setup cron to run lynx or some other command line web browser...
something like:

0 * * * * /path/to/lynx -dump http://server/path/to/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1

Then as the first thing in that script you will probably want to set the
time limit to 0 so it doesn't time out...

[PHP] Output Buffering - Am I using it correctly?

[Jay Blanchard]

Howdy group!

I am outputting a rather large data set to an Excel spreadsheet from a MySQL
database on a healthy FreeBSD server. The Apache server is on the same
server as the database. The code looks like this



Now, even though I have set ob_start() the headers get sent (as it says in
the docs; "While output buffering is active no output is sent from the
script (other than headers), instead the output is stored in an internal
buffer. ")

The Task Manager shows that the processes on my local machine for EXCEL.EXE
go to the maximum available CPU cycles and stays there until the spreadsheet
is either delivered or the system times out. I thought that using output
buffering would lower use of client system resources. Is this not true?

Thanks!

Jay

Hi Brandon,

Well, date("h:I") means "display the hours (in 12-hour format), followed by
a colon, followed by a 1 or a 0 depending on whether daylight saving is in
effect", so you're unlikely to get the correct time from it ;-)

Give either date("h:ia") or date("H:i") a try - these are 12-hour and
24-hour times respectively.

[PHP] Fw: Speed of the PHP Parser MySQL vs. textfiles

[Holger Heinze, Portalmeister GmbH]

Hi people, maybe someone here has experience with this question:

We have to create a CMS System for beginners. For storing data, we have 3
possibilities:


1. Store Data in MySQL, query the database, inlcude the dynamic content via
php.

echo $mysqldata[headline]."\n";

2. Store Data in Textfiles holding the Data like this:



This would mean, we just include the preferences file at the top of the php
script generating the output page. (A lot less coding i think)

3. Generate HTML pages (soc. cache) everytime the user makes changes to his
pages.


I just had an argument with a co-worker and I would like to have your guys'
opinion on this:

Combination 1: Store frequently changed info in 1. MySQL Database and rarely
changed data in 2. Textfiles that are included.

Combination 2: Store frequently changed info in 1. MySQL Database and rarely
changed data in 3. Plain HTML Cache files.

I won't say which one is mine! ;-)

So, which one would you guys prefer, and what do you think is faster ...
Included Textfiles or HTML or MySQL ?

We also of course have to take the time and complexity of the coding into
consideration.

Thanks a lot for any answer!

(Also thankful for urls to php parser benchmarks etc...)

Re: [PHP] Output Buffering - Am I using it correctly?

[Kevin Stone]

Output buffering is doing nothing for you in the given example.  It does not
reduce client side resources... if anything it increases the usage
serverside resources.  Perhaps you are thinking of gz compression?  You
might use a combination of ob* functions and gz* functions to minimize
bandwidth requirments.. but there's no guarantee that your user's browsers
supports it.

Re: [PHP] Re: Cronjob

[Daren Cotter]

Thanks for the info Chris, it works!

How do I pass arguments to the script? I'm assuming
it'd just be:

test.php arg1 arg2

The stuff I've read says $argc should be the count of
the # of arguments, and $argv should be an array
holding them...but when I do a simple:
print "# of Arguments: $argc\n";
It prints nothing, not even 0

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gzcompress() in
/var/lib/apache/htdocs/swbcabs/gen.php on line 89

I guess that this means I am out of luck here. Anyone know a cleaner method
for delivering spreadsheets?

Thanks!

Sorry to butt in :)

Arguments to web scripts are done in the format:
page.php?arg1=data1&arg2=data2

So you would use that full string as the lynx path.

Hope this helps :)

Re: [PHP] Re: Cronjob

[Daren Cotter]

Jason,

I'm not using a web script any longer, I'm using
command-line (I determined that it is installed on the
server).

I read about $argc and $argv, but when I call the
script passing two arguments, both $argc and $argv are
blank. Is this a php.ini setting I need to change or
somethign?

[PHP] Explorer-like "drill down" interface

[Richard Fox]

I have two questions:

1. I would like to build a php page that contains a Windows explorer-like drill down 
mechanism, where clicking the '+' beside an item will expand the sub-items below 
(which can also have a '+' or '-' on the left) and clicking the '-' will collapse the 
item. Is there any existing code for that or hints how I can do it?

2. I have allowed packets through my firewall destined for port 3306, the mysql 
server. So I can connect to the server from a remote machine. Are there any known 
security vulnerabilities in the mySQL server? 

Many thanks,

Rich

Re: [PHP] Explorer-like "drill down" interface

[Bill Farrell]

Hi Richard,

There are a couple out there... I created one for
myself (V1."un") that does something similar...  It
relies on a couple of support files for mime-types and
icons.  Here's the code... if you like the idea, I can
zip up the icons and extension-to-mime folders and
send it to ya.  My website (www.jwfarrell.com) is
supposed to be online later this afternoon (after a
week of promises from my ISP), so you'll be able to
look at the code in action.

Re: [PHP] Re: Cronjob

[Jason Young]

I can't say I'm really too familiar with the php commandline..

You're using /usr/bin/php (or equivalent) and attempting to use your 
exec() that way?

If you do 'php -?' you'll get a list of commands that you can use, and I 
don't see a way to pass cmdline arguments as variables..

Having said that, I Just went and looked further into it.. if I make a 
test script, and at the top I put:
$hi = $argv[1];

then $hi becomes whatever you've specified as the first argument.. I'm 
assuming this is what you want?

To clarify:
phpfile.php contains:


Running the command "php -f phpfile.php test" returns "test"

Does this help at all??

Are you sure its not already there? Commonly in
/usr/bin. Try a "which 
php" and see if it finds anything?

I'm think you're all forgetting about register_globals being off by
default these days... The following may help:

$argc = $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['argc'];
$argv = $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['argv'];

HTH,

Believe me, if I could have taken that way out I would have done it. I am

Re: [PHP] Re: Cronjob

I'm using a PHP script. I got a PHP script to run
mysql queries no problem, but the trouble is I need to
pass off arguments to the script (those arguments
shape the queries).

[PHP] dynamic website

[Donahue Ben]

I have a general question of a dynamic website using
PHP4 and mysql database.  If there are many, many
users visiting a dynamic website at once, will it
cause the database to be bogged down with so many
users visiting the website?  If so, how do you around
this problem.
  

  Thanks, Ben

Daren,

This post from Robert explains why you're having trouble :)

I forgot the PHP version on my machine doesn't have the register_globals 
problem.

THAT should work.

In any case, register_globals is ON for my server.

I don't understand why this isn't working? I'm doing
exactly what the manual says. What could I be missing?

RE: [PHP] Output Buffering - Am I using it correctly?

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
 I am researching some classes 
[/snip]

OK. One of the silly classes fails, saying --

Fatal error: No parent class available in this context in biff.php on line
52

line 52 is --

49 function BiffWriter()
50  {
51  error_reporting (E_ALL);
52  parent::BiffBase();
53  $this->_fill_AA_notation();
54  }

This is on a server with PHP 4.04. Does anyone have any clues as to why it
might not work?
ACCCK! I am so frustrated at this point that I would almost rather write
spreadsheets by hand!

Thanks for your help!

No idea the following worked as expected for me:

Script:


Execute:
php foo.php blah

Output:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
Content-type: text/html

blahThis Works

[PHP] PHP and M$ Access

[Reuben D. Budiardja]

Hello,
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. But can PHP work with MS Access, for 
example if I want to develop a web database application? Does the API exist 
for that?
The system is going to be like Linux/Apache/PHP as the web server, and 
Win2k/NT with M$ Access as the database. I am wondering if php can access the 
database, just like the way it does with MySQL, for example. 

I am not really familiar with M$ stuff, since I usually use MySQL or Oracle. 
But I have a client who insist to use M$ Access. 

Thanks for any respond.

This is something that will need to be done on the Apache level with
rewrites, I believe.  The PATH_INFO hack is a useful one, but if you
don't want to call a script directly, I think you'll need a rewrite.

There also may be another way to do it in Apache, but I don't think
there's anything in PHP you can do to accomplish this.

print_r($GLOBALS);

This just prints out a bunch of info (seems to be
unimportant)...what am I looking for in this?

What about something like this:

1. Script loads. Script writes everything to some file.
2. Script is finished writing everything to file.
4. Script does a browser redirect and the user starts downloading the
file normally.

It just seems like the server doesn't want to have to deal with
streaming a large database result set to a web browser.
