Re: [PHP] Max script size

[Jeff Held]

Transfering data between mysql servers.  I create a mysql insert file via
file system, ftp the file to another server, then exe it...all on a
schedule.

I know there is a better way, but this way is very fast, well until the file
got to big.  My solution now is to break it over two files (easy).  I just
wanted to see what someone would say.

Re: [PHP] setting function variables

[CPT John W. Holmes]

From: "Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
> I seem to learn something new every time you or Jennifer post (many
> others as well). I never knew about variable functions. Cool!

You're welcome. I wouldn't recommend that solution exactly (an abstraction
class would be better), but the functions do come in handy.

For example, I use variable function in one of my validation classes. I have
a main method called check() that is passed a "type" and a "value". The
"type" must match a method in the class. The check() method does some
default checking and then passes the $value to the $type() method for
further checking...

class Validate
{
  function check($type,$value)
  {
if($empty($value))
{ return FALSE; }
if(method_exists($this,$type))
{ $retval = $this->$type($value); }
return $retval;
  }

  function number($value)
  {
if(preg_match('/[^0-9]/',$value))
{ return FALSE; }
else
{ return $value; }
  }
}

Where "number" is one of the types that'll be validated.

$val = new Validate;

$val->check('number',$_POST['somevalue']);
$val->check('date',$_POST['somedate']);
$val->check('phone',$_POST['phone_number']);
etc...

Where you'd have a phone() and date() method in the Validate class... I
think that's the only place I've used variable-functions... or
variable-methods, rather. :)

[PHP] Max script size

I have a 6MB PHP script that just won't exe on the live server. It works on

You may be trying to unsubscribe from a different email address that the

you kept it, should have the address in it. Failing that, have a look at 
the headers of any message from the list for a clue as to the subscribed

an appropriate set of headers available to refer to.

Re: [PHP] magical file writing truncation

this is magical, evening seperating the file open, and file write into 3
stages, it still looses half my $text, but again, if i write $text to it's
own file, then it's perfectly fine, and all contents go inside...

i have this...


  print "start: ".strlen($newStartContent)."";
  print "text: ".strlen($text)."";
  print "end: ".strlen($newEndContent)."";
  touch($newFile);
  $fp = fopen($newFile, "ab");
  $bytes = fwrite( $fp, $newStartContent );
  $totalBytes += $bytes;
  print " - ".$bytes." written";
  fclose( $fp );
  unset( $fp );
  $fp = fopen($newFile.".txt", "at");
  $bytes = fwrite( $fp, $text );
  $totalBytes += $bytes;
  print " - ".$bytes." written";
  fclose( $fp );
  unset( $fp );
  $fp = fopen($newFile, "ab");
  $bytes = fwrite( $fp, $newEndContent );
  $totalBytes += $bytes;
  print " - ".$bytes." written";
  fclose( $fp );
  unset( $fp );
  print "Total size written ".$totalBytes;

i figured i would totally kill $fp each time with an unset just incase. in
the above example the $text is being saved to a different file, and the
write is fine. take the ".txt" off so it saves to the same file, and it cuts
off half the $text again.

truly magical... i'm gonna have to rethink this whole thing aren't i? ah
well...

thanks again for the help...

I've looked at these:

http://www.midgard-project.org/
Midgard looked good but I couldn't get the admin to work right, and it
requires php-4.2.2 or lower (which drove me a little nuts at first).
It's optimized for php as it's functions are written in C and become
built in php functions with --with-midgard, plus it has a mod_midgard to
link into apache.  Midgard allows lots of customization and you could
place php code just about anywhere.  Runs on *nix only and requires
access to add modules to php and apache.

http://www.tikiwiki.org/
TikiWiki had lots of cool features.  It looked to me to be more suitable
for a community CMS (baseball team etc) rather than a general CMS. All
php.

http://www.geeklog.net/
There's also GeekLog, with a similar community slant as TikiWiki, and it
was reviewed in last months php-architect magazine. All php.

http://www.typo3.org
I agree with what Nick Tabbet said.  Of these 4 CMSs, this one has the
most refined user interface, and most general purpose features.  It's
written in all object oriented php and will easily install on an ISP
hosted system.  Quick setup 1-2-3, and your ready to go.  It does have a
long learning curve, but anything complex does.  Since it's all OO, has
it's own TypoScript code to design content and big, it will really
benefit if run with a php accelerator to cache the intermediate code.
Has good tutorial for getting started, and another good intro to it's
templates.  It's more for small to mid-sized sites, as anything larger
should be written in native C, C++, etc.

Re: [PHP] easier than switch

[Nicholas Robinson]

As, in this case, only one of the variables is non-null, then you could use 
the string concatenation operator and this would return what you want.

i.e. type = $_POST['news'] . $_POST['dreams'] . $_POST['storys']...

I think I've used the same variable name in different forms on the same page, 
as only one form submission occurs at any one time there can't be a conflict 
and PHP doesn't care where the POST'ed variable came from.. So, you could 
rename news, dreams, etc. to be type and extract the result directly without 
having to fiddle around.

Lines 78 and 79 read like this:

$img_numbers = $qryResults("SELECT COUNT(img_id) AS TotalImages FROM images
WHERE category_id = '$row[0]'");
$img_count = $qryResults($img_numbers,0,"TotalImages")

The variables are specified as

$runQuery = 'mssql_query';
$qryResults = 'mssql_result';

Any ideas of why it would be doing this?  Everything works fine when I don't
try to use the variables.

Re: [PHP] Question on class syntax

[Robert Cummings]

The :: operator is used to access a static class method. In other words
you can use the class method without creating an instance of the class.

Alternatively you could have used the following less effcient syntax:

$cleaner = new htmlcleaner();
$value = $cleaner->cleanup( $value );

Cheers,
Rob.

PHP is in general can handle binary strings, now if cURL can

I don't see how.  The data when recevied is already in pieces through the

1. Remove all of the single quotes from the configure line above where I
have appended --with-fdftk=/usr/local
2. In the PHP directory (where the php library files are) run the
configure line (you can paste it and then hit enter). Much stuff will
traverse your screen real estate.
3. When the user prompt becomes available type "make" and hit enter.
Watch more stuff.
4. When the user prompt becomes available type "make install" and hit
enter. Watch more stuff.
5. When the user prompt becomes available restart Apache.

Support for FDF should be in place now (I will warn you that it may not
go as easily as I have listed it here). Run the phpinfo() page again and
check the line.

Let us know...

Re: [PHP] Passing Values between Pages : $_SESSION / $_GET

Hello again,

I would appreciate if someone could help me out with this one.

Thanks again

Hello All,

 I am using php and mysql in my application which allows users to  
search/query a database. The database is cast and has about 32 rows  
per record. When the user fires the query, the result is in the form  
of a table that contains only the 6 important rows of the entire  
record. Also there is a provision to allow the user to see the full  
record set by clicking on the link under the 'complete profile'  
contained in the table. (as shown below). The name of this script is  
lookup_results.php

Here is the result for a companies in city = 'Charlotte' / Primary key  
of the table is the name of the company.
---

-
Company Name Main ContactCity Website

To see the complete profile of the company I use  
href=\"full_profile_1.php?name=".$row['company'].
So once we are on the full_profile_1.php, we can see all the contents  
of the record. Also we display a form where we can edit the results in  
place. The logic works like this.

// full_profile_1.php LOGIC



session_start();

if (isset($_SESSION['validuser']))
  {
if($submit)
  {
   update the changes that the user has made to the form
  My question here is  " How do I get the name of the company  
that was passed to this script as a $_GET Parameter. I cannot use the
  $company because it is out of scope. The only other option  
would be to use $_SESSION['link']  i.e. Store the names of the
  companies in a  session array. So now the array as per the  
example above would be {'PSG','TFNA', 'Micro', 'CNN' } . The way this
  will work is how do I get the index of the 'link' array that  
is applicable in this example.

   Here the name of the company would be $company  =  
$_SESSION['link'][0];
   If we had clicked the second row of the results table the  
name of the compnay would have been 'TFNA' i.e. $_SESSION['link'][1]
   and so on. How do I pass the index. ???



  }

   else
  {
  $company = $_GET['name'];
  USE  
 ANDdisplay all the rows of the record where company_name  
='company'

 }

  }

else {
 redirect the user to the ERROR Page
}
// end of pseudo- code

Thanks in advance guys. I know this may sound a lil' vague , but I  
have tried to present the logic and the problem.

displayed a form with all the details about the company. On the same

[PHP] Formatting an ascii characters in php?

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi!

I use the cURL to send and receive data regardless of what data format
is the data in.  There are certian ascii characters in the data, like 'LF'
for line feed, 'CR' for carriage return, etc.  This time I came upon a
problem where one of those ascii character caused PHP to get tripped up.
So, is there any PHP function or script that can translate the ascii
character into a text format where I can read each of those character to see
which one is causing the problem so I can be able to fix the problem.  Any
know of any of such PHP feature that can do those conversion?

[PHP] Possible bug w/ open_basedir?

[Dan Brown]

 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm running a Mitel SME Server v5.6, which is based on RedHat 7.3,
on which I've upgraded PHP to version 4.3.2 (stock PHP version is
4.1.2).  Since I upgraded to 4.3.2, I've encountered a recurring, but
intermittent, problem with any of my PHP apps--IMP, phpBB, phpmychat,
ISMail, etc.  Frequently, these apps will come up with blank pages. 
When this happens, the following error is logged in the system log:

Aug  8 10:10:27 e-smith httpd: PHP Warning:  Unknown(): open_basedir
restriction in effect. File(/opt/ISMail/maillist.php) is not within
the
allowed path(s): (/home/e-smith/files/ibays/howtos) in Unknown on
line 0

The "File", of course, varies with the app in use, but the allowed
path is always the same.  Reloading the page will usually load it
correctly.

There is no open_basedir restriction in my php.ini.  The only place
this restriction is set (with this path) in httpd.conf is in this
block:


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
php_admin_value open_basedir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/howtos


I never encountered this problem with PHP 4.1.2, but it's been
happening pretty frequently since I installed 4.3.2.  I haven't been
able to figure out any pattern to when it's going to happen, but I've
heard from some other SME users that they're running into the same
thing.

It seems to me that this may be a bug with PHP, but I'm not sure
what to do to confirm or disconfirm that.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.  Thanks!

Hi.
 I want to change the include_path of the php.ini. I tried uncommenting it,
and changing the path, but everytime I use phpinfo() to check if it changed,
it displays this as the include_path:

.;c:\php4\pear

And when it loads, it loads then reloads and reloads and etc. to give the
effect of it blinking. What is going on?

I have PHP 4.3.2, Apache 2.0.47, and MySQL 4.0.14 running on Windows XP Professional.

Re: [PHP] Old version of PHP

I'm working on an ongoing project that depends on a shared webserver 
running
an old version of PHP (4.1.2 I believe). Is there any good reason to

have it
upgraded to something a bit more recent? I have a notion that upgrade
attempts may have been snubbed out by the way things like 
register_globals
are now handled by default, the perception being that newer versions 
of PHP
are incompatible with older code.
the register globals "event" happened on 4.1 (from memory), so any 
install over that should be straight forward.  in any case, it's just 
one simple directive that needs to be changed in the php.ini file... 
can't see how this should be an issue.

i think the best reason to keep up-to-date on the versions is that each 
new release is "better, more stable, etc etc"... i haven't ever heard 
anyone on this list say "i prefer 4.2.3 over 4.2.4" :)

as a programmer, i hate it how some hosts refuse to keep on top of the 
upgrades... really useful functions in newer versions aren't available.


Mainly I'm concerned that code I test on our in-house server running
version-current PHP will depend on function calls and language 
constructs
that the production server's vintage PHP interpreter lacks.
exactly... there isn't a HUGE number of differences between the current 
release and what they've got on the live server, but there are 
exceptions... i was making good use of file_get_contents() on my LAN, 
but had to write a user-function to replicate it when running on the 
live server which is stuck at 4.2.3 for the moment.

it's almost a case of "don't upgrade your LAN until the production 
server upgrades", but I prefer "convince you host to upgrade, or move 
host" :)

In this exemple with output beffering it is possible to select the maximum

is it possible to select the maximum compression level too
when writing in a file like below ??

$gzp = fopen($output_file, 'w');
gzwrite($gzp, $content);
gzclose($gzp);


I think that the default compression level here is 6,

Hi,

I am Dipesh from BG Broadband, India. I am working on linux-php. I am
trying to configure freetds with php, but it does not allow me to connect to
mssql server 2000.

The problem is not related  to login. I can ping the server.Using command
'tsql' i can connect to the database. So the problem must be with the
configuration of freetds with php. It doesn't work with perl too.

tsql -H "host" -p 1433 -U dips

worked

I have tried various version of freetds like 0.53 and also 0.61.

I have to use version 0.53 only but I just tried 0.61 so please give
solution regarding this version only.

With 0.53 I am getting error as

connect: Connection refused
DB-Library: Login incorrect
With 0.61 I am getting error as
src/tds/login.c: tds_connect: 172.16.3.36:4000: Connection refused
I have configured freetds with the following options

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds0.53 --with-tdsver=7 --enable-msdblib
make
make install
Also I have configred PHP with the following options
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs'
'--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds0.53/' '--with-odbc' '--with-mysql'

'--enable-dbase' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-filepro'
'--enable-track-vars' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
make
make install
Then I copied the php.ini-dist file to /usr/local/lib/php.ini and then
restarted apache.
But I can't connect to it and the above error was shown.
So please help me and thanx in advance.
Suggestions are appreciated...

Depends on what your needs are! If you read the beginning of each (mostly 
each) chapter you'll see what the requirements are for using the functions 
covered in that chapter. The requirements are broadly:

1) Builtin, ie there's nothing special you need to do to get that 
functionality.

2) Provided by a library bundled with php (ie included with the php tarball). 
To use these, you usually need to configure with something like 
"--enable-XXX". 

3) Provided by an external library. This requires that you install the 
required library from other sources -- it is not provided with php. To use 
these you usually need to configure with something like 
"--with-XXX=/some/directory".

If you're compiling your own php then you need not worry about those.

Because if you don't compile with zlib then the files that you create will not 
be compressed (which is a bad idea).

There must be loads of tutorials that covers installation. Try "LAMP".

Probably more than you need. Just decide what functionality you need, look it 
up in the manual and see what the requirements are.

[PHP] Table listing of months

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

   I have the following snippet of code:


 // contents of $monthlyarchivereverse is generated by a different
 // piece within a content managent system.  The data, or format
 // can not be changed.
 $monthlyarchivereverse = array("/08/index.html August 2003",
"/07/index.html July 2003",
"/06/index.html June 2003",
"/05/index.html May 2003"
   );
 $monthlyarchive = array_reverse($monthlyarchivereverse);
 function lightdark($rest) {
   if ($rest%2) {
 $color = "#eee";
   } else {
 $color = "#fff";
   }
   return $color;
 }
 foreach ($monthlyarchive as $string) {
   list($link, $month, $year) = split(" ",$string);
   $shortmonth = substr($month,0,3);
   $a[$year][] = "$shortmonth";
 }
 reset($a);
 $array_first_key = key($a);
 while (count($a[$array_first_key]) < 12) {
   array_unshift($a[$array_first_key], " ");
 }
 foreach ($a as $year=>$list_of_strings) {
   echo "\n";
   echo " $year\n 
\n";
   foreach ($list_of_strings as $key=>$date_string) {
 if($key%4 || $key==0) {
   } else {
 echo " \n \n";
   }
   echo "  ".rtrim($date_string)."\n";
 }
 echo " \n\n";
 }
?>

   Which when run, will generate a table that looks like this, with 
each month hyperlinked to its respective link from the array:

   +---+
   | | | | |
   +---+
   | | | | |
   +---+
   | May | Jun | Jul | Aug |
   +---+
   I now want to change this, to something like this:

   +---+
   | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr |
   +---+
   | May | Jun | Jul | Aug |
   +---+
   | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
   +---+
   ...where only those months that have an associated hyperlink will be 
linked, and the others will just be displayed without a link.  How can I 
achieve this?

Where on earth did you get all those versions from? 

And did you follow the installation instructions in the manual -- in 
particular the bit about copying the header file(s) and library file(s) into

RE: [PHP] trying to match the front and end...

[Dan Joseph]

Hi,

Its a bank account number coming from a database.  We're reformatting it
for ACH processing.  The number could be:

23408234980423

with a rule of remove 12453 from beginning, and remove 0423 from the end,
that would leave us with 2340823498.  The rule could also read to remove 234
from the beginning, and 43985 from the end, leaving us 08234980423.

The length of the number is also dynamic.

I guess I just found it easier to go over it with a couple regular
expressions, then got to thinking maybe I could combine it into one.  What
suggestion would you have?

You're calling the cleanup() method of the "htmlcleaner" class.

You could also have:

$ob = new htmlcleaner;
$value = $ob->cleanup($value);

You can use the first method without having to actually make a new object.
Whether that's better or not depends upon your application. It basically
turns your "object" into a function repository.

Assuming that you have a process page that stores the submitted choice, have

Or better yet, I like it when my original page never leaves and a popup

What I would do would turn off register_globals and then use
import_request_variables on all the pages. 

You could set up a auto_prepend_file to be include for all the
files.  This would make things transparent and protect your
$_SESSION vars.

actually, you might want to urlencode it.

Ok, but that only makes me realize the further extent of the problem.

If the HTML file that they upload has '<' or '>' entities, then 
these characters will be displayed in the text area as '<' and '>' 
symbols.  So when  the text is submitted from the textarea, all of the 
user's HTML entities will have been destroyed.

Any thoughts on this problem?
Yep, of course. :)

If there is a < in the file, when you apply htmlentities(), it'll 
come out in the HTML source as < and appear as < in the 
rendered . So... it's not an issue.

I'm curious. Is there an advantage to using the above format, rather

$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM sti_tracking ORDER BY
$reSort_Recordset1 $direction_Recordset1";

[PHP] static method and $this

[messju mohr]

hello php-general,

i found this thread in the mailing-list archive:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=104182777004472&w=2

to summarize: if you call a static method FooClass::foo() from within
an object-method (for example:

class BarClass {

  function bar() {
Foo::foo();
  }
  
}
$obj = new BarClass;
$obj->bar();

)


FooClass::foo() will have a reference "$this" defined that is a
reference to $obj.


i noticed recently that this still works in the beta1 of php5.

my question: does anybody have a clue if this is a well-known and
supported feature? or is it just a side-effect and using it can be a
bad design-decision in the long run?

greetings
messju
