[PHP] Alternative to cURL

[Paul van Schayck]

Hello everyone,

I want to send a form to a different server without user input. Auto fill a  
form ($_POST or $_GET). People will still click a link. So it could be a 
client-side sollution. cURL is the logical sollution but is there an 
alternative, client or server side.
I was thinking about FSockOpen and putting a header() inside so the 
location in the browser looks like the other domain. Would this be 
possible.

Regards,
Paul van Schayck

Hey Chris,
After reading your post I too downloaded SlickEdit...I personally use a mix
of Zend and EditPlus
Just opened slickEdit and it seems a bit complicated but more java
oriented...mind telling me why you have such a preference for this?

Hmm.. I downloaded Slick Edit and didn't think it was any better than
the free HTML-Kit. Have you ever used HTML-Kit and if so, what do you
think is so great about VSE?

I didn't spend a huge amount of time with the configuration of VSE but I
couldn't get it to view my Japanese pages properly. Can you set the
character encoding in VSE?



Chris.

p.s. My vote is for HTML-Kit from www.chami.com.

It's actually C/C++/Java oriented.  But you can set up and configure a PHP
extension.
As to why I like VSE, it is highly configurable and has a fairly powerful macro
language.  Just about every piece of internal functionality (ie, any of the menu
options, highlight text, cursor movements, etc) are set up as macro functions.
As a result, you can assign them to any custom button or add them to just about
any right click menu (right click and select 'Edit This Menu' at the bottom).

Little useful toys such as paren & brace matching, automatic indent (even for cut 
and pasted code), customizable syntax highlighting, JavaDoc comments aware, 
different emulation styles (emacs, VC++, etc), Tagging[1], etc.

As I said before, it has definitely increased my productivity.

Re: [PHP] Foreach Array Help

[Marek Kilimajer]

foreach(array_expression as $key => $value)

So you are looping the array key and it is a scalar value (int).

Okay, total newbie when it comes to arrays, and I could really use some

[PHP] where is my session data on my new server?

[David T-G]

Hi, all --

We have some existing code running under php 4.2.3 on a FreeBSD 4.5
server and we just lit up a new php 4.3rc1 FBSD 4.8 server to handle our
growth (yay! :-)

All of our scripts source a central include file which sets lots of
things including some session variables, one of which is $pw.  When you
get to a password-protected page, we check $pw and if it is correct you
continue ahead but if not (either empty or wrong) it's unset and then
you're prompted.  We session.save at the end of the page.

On the first server when you enter the password and hit the button the
page comes back up with $pw set and in you go.  On the second server $pw
is always empty and we are endlessly prompted.

I ran a phpinfo() comparison and didn't see anything markedly different
(except for how the output is formatted, which made things delightfully
more challenging), but I also don't know for what I'm looking.  I also
don't know what other information I should provide, but I'm hesitant to
bomb the list with two phpinfo() outputs :-) so I'll hold off on that
until someone asks for them.

Do you have any pointers to what I hope is a very simple fix?


TIA & HAND

Well, rather than post two complete phpinfos, can you hone it down to just those 
entries which *are* different.  I'd particularly be looking at all the session.* 
entries (obviously!), as well as register_globals, and possibly variables_order.

It might also help to post a (short!) fragment of the relevant code.

Cheers!

[PHP] Help needed - Dynamically Zip Files & Sub-Directories

[TWSC HQ]

Hi everybody -

What is wrong with this php zip class (file : phpzip.inc.php)?

I've got this code on one page:

require("phpzip.inc.php");
 $z = new PHPZip();
 $z -> Zip("directory_name/", "out.zip");

where all files and sub-directories + files should be zipped into the zip
file called out.zip

trouble is the class does zip the files in the "directory_name" directory
but does not include the subdirectories and their files.
Works on Windows server but not on unix server

Thanks!

this is the class:

[PHP] Re: header() function for displaying an opened PDF document.

[Scott Fletcher]

Well, now, I get an unknown file type.  I have already specified the
application type.  This was yesterday.  Today, I get the file type as
'Acrobat Control for Active X'.  That doesn't look right...  Oh well...
Will have to play around and see what can I do to make it work better.  A
couple of months ago, I worked on making hte downloading and/or opening the
executable file from the website and had this similiar problem.  What helped
me to solve this problem is not to use the readfile() function, but with
fopen() instead.  We had customers calling about problem with downloading
but we got fewer customers calling us if I use the fopen() function instead.
I put in more header script and it also reduced the problem for IE user.
Then finally solved most of the problem by putting in the exit() function at
the end of hte header script.  It seem that IE don't know how to tell if the
downloading or opening/running had begun.  Kind of suck, though

That's my best advice.  But I guarentee this is not a PHP problem and that
there is no work around for it other than to fix what's wrong on your

Re: [PHP] Re: header() function for displaying an opened PDF document.

[Chris Hayes]

It might help to have a peek at how the php Pdf libraries are doing this 
(www.php.net/pdflib, fpdf.org, www.ros.co.nz/pdf) . There are a lot 
of  things to worry about with pdf, not the least the fact that older 
acrobat readers will give plenty of errors when the page is not send fast 
enough  and many other reasons.
The safest workaround might be to save the pdf on the server, and then use 
headers to tell the browser where to find it.

[PHP] Re: php convert html to pdf

[Scott Fletcher]

Not sure why you're thinking of installing.  So, I downloaded the zipped
file and extract it.  All I see are a couple of files in PHP.  All you can
do is to upload the file, 'HTML_ToPDF.php' and perhap one other file to the
Web Hosting account you have there.  Then on your existing webpage, you just
insert the include file into that php script, whip up some scripts and
voila, you have a working feature...

I looked up in the readme file and it said
--snip--
Installation



There is no real installation other than requiring the file. See the

examples directory for help in how to use the class.

--snip--

But then if the Web Host service doesn't support hte PHP pear, then from the
readme file showed a link to the PHP Pear website and you can safely get a
couple of files to be upload to the Web Host.

They all are only a scripting file, not a installation file or anything.

Re: [PHP] Re: header() function for displaying an opened PDF document.

[Scott Fletcher]

I'm using the library from www.fpdf.org.  I currently using the method on
storing the file to the server because of two features.  One so I can have
php script to use the email to pick up the file and send it to my boss.
Two, an optional option to view the billing invoice.  I am beginning to
think that it might not be a browser problem after all.  But something with
the fpdf library.  One way to test my theory is to grab a working pdf file
on my machine and put it on the server, have php point to it and see if it
can be display without a problem.  If there's problem then it had to do with
the poor scripting I made on the php header.

Right now, I'm thinking of using hte HTML conversion to PDF feature.  I
haven't found this feature on the Internet until recently when I saw an
earlier PHP newsgroup post yesterday.  The reason is because it's quicker
that way, I'm trying to finish the project so I can leave my job.  So, I
would like to make this project be simpilier for any future hired web
programmer.

You have two mutually exclusive possibilities there.

Probably, what you want to do is something like:

$code['assign'][$i]['aid'] = (assign ID);
$code['assign'][$i][$j] = (whatever you want here);

(which, for simplicity, translates into something like:)

$code['assign'][1]['aid'] = 1;
$code['assign'][1]['1'] = 11;
$code['assign'][1]['2'] = 12;
$code['assign'][1]['3'] = 13;
$code['assign'][1]['4'] = 14;
$code['assign'][1]['5'] = 15;
etc.

[PHP] Pidget - The PHP5 Widget Library

[Luke Ehresman]

Hi Everyone,

I'm fairly new to this list, but have been around PHP for a very long
time.  I'm the original author of SquirrelMail, the webmail client
written in PHP4.  As I have been doing web development, I noticed the
alarming trend that most web applications have a hacked-together
interface.  It is hard to create a standardized, unified interface in
web programming languages like PHP.  As a solution to this, and to test
out the wonderful new capabilities of PHP5, I wrote Pidget -- The PHP
Widget Library.

Pidget is a library of graphical widgets that get rendered in HTML.  If
you have done any GUI programming in QT or MFC, it is very similar.
There are layout engines and widgets that interact with it.  Anyhow, it
is completely in PHP5 using the great new object oriented features.  As
far as I know, this is the first large-scale project that is fully PHP5.

Why amd I writing to this list?  The company that I work for, and who
sponsored Pidget's development, CommNav, has decided to create an open
source project out of Pidget.  It is my hope that as PHP5 gains
adoption, so will Pidget.  Web applications designed with Pidget have a
much cleaner separation of display and logic (HTML is not printed out
inline).  For more information, visit the website!

http://www.pidget.org

Thanks,
Luke

[PHP] header() function...

[Tristan . Pretty]

We've just moved sites, to a new URL...
on the home page of the old url, I simply had a page that was;

http://www.newsite.com);
?>

All good, any requests to that page, were cleanly redirected to the new 
site.
I know this cause I tested it many times...

Now on the stats for the new site, we can record no referals from 
http://www.oldsite.com
yet I know I (and my co-workers) went to http://www.oldsite.com and got 
redirected to http://www.newsite.com
Can someone confirm:

Does this method or redirection interfere with the web server logging 
visits?

Cheers,
Tris...

[PHP] Invoking the PHP interpreter form a suexec CGI PHP program.

[Andrey Petrov]

Hi

I have configured successfully a PHP application to run as a CGI application
with apache/suexec.
The following program runs as expected:
#!/usr/bin/php -q


this program can be run from the command line, as a regular CGI script, or
as a suexec CGI script.

If we modify it like this:
#!/usr/bin/php -q

it works as a regular cgi program, or when run directly from the command
line or when run thru mod_php4. But it does NOT work as a suexec CGI
script.
It seems that you cannot launch another PHP interpreter process from within
a suexec CGI PHP script.
Any suggestions?

/usr/bin/httpd -v
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix)  (Red-Hat/Linux)

/usr/bin/php -v
PHP 4.3.3 (cgi) (built: Sep 17 2003 15:57:16)
Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies

p.s.
the same program written in perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print ("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
print (`/usr/bin/php -v`);

works perfectly as expected without any problems under suexec.

[PHP] Accessing HTTP_PC_REMOTE_ADDR var fails sporadically

This works sometimes, and sometimes I get a blank value for

Anyone know why this might happen? Should I be using a different global var

[PHP] Re: $PHP_SELF and include all variables?

[Shawn McKenzie]

$_SERVER['GET'] will give an array of all get vars in the URL.

Or maybe:

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

Which gives the entire get query string in the URL.

Re: [PHP] Re: header() function...

[Scott Fletcher]

In that case, you most likely would find the 'www.oldsite.com' in the ACCESS
log or whatever it is.  As for the redirecting, nah, there shouldn't be any
interference.  The webserver just record the browser's request into the log
file, then come the header() for redirecting, then the webserver retrieve
whatever the file is as specified by the header() redirect then record the
data into the log file, then send the webpage back to the web browser.

The webserver just recorded whatever is requested by the browser and
whatever is specified from the PHP Module/CGI/ISAPI, and/or user defined
script from the webpage.  Unless there is a configuration setting somewhere
that said otherwise about the log files.

[PHP] Re: Passing variables between pages

[Gabriel Peugnet]

Like John said:

You can use:

In the second page:
$user = $_POST['username'];// sent by the first page
...
echo "

...
";

So, when you submit the form, in the third page you will be able to get the
username.
$user = $_POST['username'];

Yo can do this in N number of pages. If you always pass and obtain the
variable via POST or GET no matter how much pages yo use. In the 20th page
you'll get the variable.

[PHP] Pulling variables from a URL

[Frank Tudor]

I have a URL including variables...  It looks like this:

http://registration.php?username=11&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I can't pullit into the next page's form

Here is what is in the form and other things I have tried:

$username = $_HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];

echo $_GET['$username'];

echo $_POST['$username'];

This page sumbits with PHP_SELF if that helps with this puzzle.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Also I do have an include file that looks for session
information but Ihave disabled it to see if I can pass
variables.

It should be:

You shouldn't have the dollar sign in the brackets.
$ represents a variable the entire $_GET['username']
is the variable.

I see a few things:

1. Pullit is not a word. :-)
2. http://registration.php is not a valid URL (until php becomes a TLD).
3. $_GET['$username'] refers to a variable named $username, not username. You
should try $_GET['username'] instead.

Hope that helps.

RE: [PHP] Pulling variables from a URL

[Carl Furst]

If you are using the variable $username as a variable variable type thing..
like you don't know what username is going to be each time...

Use double quotes:

$_GET["$username"];

that will make PHP interpolate the variable and use whatever value $username
is as the name of the $_GET var. Single quotes ''' tells PHP 'take the
$tring as is and don't interpolate anything'

you HAVE to do that.. you can't do... if you have the register_globals
directive on for example ${$username}.. no no no. Doesn't like that.


double quotes say "interpolate $variables". However I have discovered (at
least in php 4.2.3) that you cannot use subarrays in double quotes like "my
var in the subarray subarray: $array['subarray']['subarray']" That doesn't
seem to work.. it comes up blank.

[PHP] Session question

[Susan Ator]

What would cause the loss of a session in these circumstances:

php page with search form - session good
search form calls perl script
php page with search results - php wrapper for perl search form
displaying output - session good
php page gotten to from link on php search results page in perl
search form output - session lost | new SID set but SID cookie not displayed
when showing phpinfo. Same php page gotten to from another direction -
session good.

This is pretty slim as far as details go but it pretty much sums up the
problem.

Does anyone have any idea where the session information is getting hosed?

Thanks,

Susan

[PHP] header() refresh vs location

[Chris Hubbard]

All,
I have done a number of searches.
I have read the online documentation and user supplied comments.

I recently ran into problem using:

-some code here to create session and set variables-
header('Location: index.php');

where the sessions would sometimes get "lost", they wouldn't make it to the
index.php page.  A print_r on $_SESSION would display an empty array.  And
yes the sessions are getting set properly.  The same code works on three
different servers, with no modifications.

So a friend recommended using:
header ("Refresh: 0; url=index.php");

I haven't seen documentation for "refresh" in the header function.  Is there
any reason to use one in lieu of the other?  Any comments on 'refresh'?

As I said, I've looked at the online documentation:
this page: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php doesn't have the
word "refresh" on it.
this page: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616 doesn't have the word
"refresh" on it.
this page: http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php does have
the word "refresh" but it's not relevant.

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Re: header() refresh vs location

[Kevin Stone]

The Refresh directive is a valid header.  I've used it for many years and it seems to 
be supported by the majority of browsers.  However I've never read anything that would 
indicate that Refresh works any differently than Location.  The only difference is 
that Refresh allows you to set a number of seconds before redirecting to the given 
URL.  As to whether or not it will solve your problem is something only you can answer.

[PHP] BUG: sprintf(%u) and ip2long

[Daevid Vincent]

Could be my not understanding of something, but I think there is a bug in
using ip2long() and sprintf(%u) as indicated on this page:
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php

Look at the example below:

//this conversion seems broken
//  $startIP_long = sprintf("%u",ip2long($QRange1));
//  $endIP_long = sprintf("%u",ip2long($QRange2));

$startIP_long = ip2long($QRange1);
$endIP_long = ip2long($QRange2);

echo "QRange1 = ".$QRange1." and QRange2 = ".$QRange2."";
echo "startIP_long = ".$startIP_long." and endIP_long =
".$endIP_long."";
echo "startIP_long = ".long2ip($startIP_long)." and endIP_long =
".long2ip($endIP_long)."";


The first //commented block will give:

QRange1 = 192.169.12.40 and QRange2 = 192.169.20.40
startIP_long = 3232304168 and endIP_long = 3232306216  
startIP_long = 127.255.255.255 and endIP_long = 127.255.255.255

(wtf did the "127.255.255.255" come from?!)

While the second works properly...

QRange1 = 192.169.12.40 and QRange2 = 192.169.20.40
startIP_long = -1062663128 and endIP_long = -1062661080 
startIP_long = 192.169.12.40 and endIP_long = 192.169.20.40

[PHP] Finally, PDF Header for PDF stuffs that work....

[Scott Fletcher]

Finally got some PHP header to force IE to display the PDF document right
from the file from the server.  Due to most of IE bugs, this script will
help.  It can be either getting a file from the webserver as this script is
or you can change the PHP header to use the attachment instead.

Re: [PHP] Slow searches in large database

[Cesar Cordovez]

Hi!

I think that you will need a "keyword" table to speed up this procedure. 
 The basic idea is to create an index of words in your fields, 
therefore you will not use "like" but "=" making things run much, much 
faster.

The steps for doing this are:

1.  Every time you save a record in the table docs, take all the text 
fields in it and separate it into words.  You can use explode to do 
this.  Like for example: $words = explode(" ", $record["fieldone"] . " " 
.$record["fieldtwo"], {etc, etc});

2. save in the keyword table the non repeating words in the array with a 
reference to the original document, for example the document id.

3.  Then, if you want to search for, let say, people you will do:

select distinct(docid) from keywords where word='people'

and you will have a list (cursor) with all the documents that have the 
word "people".

Very fast.

For an example of this, go to http://www.alenet.com and search for 
something.  With very little more effort you can add a spelling thingy 
(type peeple on the search field) and "porcentajes" for each document.

I use the exactly the same procedure in a 5000 record database, and the 
time it uses to search is about the same that in alenet.com

Cesar

An example of one of our search strings is:

select docs.* from docs where 1 and CY IN ('GB')  and (TI like
'%searchstring%' or PD like '%searchstring%' or ND like '%searchstring%'
or DR like '%searchstring%' or DS like '%searchstring%' or DD like
'%searchstring%' or DT like '%searchstring%' or RN like '%searchstring%'
or HD like '%searchstring%' or TD like '%searchstring%' or NC like
'%searchstring%' or PR like '%searchstring%' or RP like '%searchstring%'
or AA like '%searchstring%' or TY like '%searchstring%' or AC like
'%searchstring%' or PC like '%searchstring%' or RC like '%searchstring%'
or RG like '%searchstring%' or AU like '%searchstring%' or TW like
'%searchstring%' or CO like '%searchstring%' or AB like '%searchstring%'
or TX like '%searchstring%')

Well, it does, though the difference may not be so obvious. The Location header
accompanies a response with a status code of 3xx, which tells the Web client
that the resource has moved. This matters when it comes to things like Google
indexing your site. Google will fetch the new resource and consider it the same
as the original resource as long as the status code was 3xx.

It is also more transparent; a 3xx response does not exist in the client's
history mechanism (well, it's not supposed to), so a user who clicks back won't
be sent forward immediately (making the back button appear broken or disabled).
I'm not sure if Refresh is interpreted as being transparent in the history as
well, but in my current browser (Galeon), it is definitely not.

Oh, and the original problem was likely due to a relative URL being used in the
Location header. This is a violation of the protocol and can cause problems
with certain clients.

Hope that helps.

The Location header requires an absolute URL. This example demonstrates a
violation of the specification and can have unknown results.

Re: [PHP] header() refresh vs location

[Matt Babineau]

In this example, index.php would be a violation i think. however you
don't need to provide an absolute URL, you could provide / or ever
/index.php

I say this because the header specifying the Host had already been sent.

so you could do Location: Host + Relative_URL or Location: Relative_URL
since the browser already knows what Host you are connected to.

I could be totally wrong, just my experience in the path month or so.

Cheers!

[PHP] Re: Foreach Array Help

[Jed R. Brubaker]

First of all, thanks for the response.

Here is where I am getting lost:
In $code['assign'][1] - "1" is the assignment ID, and I would like the array
to be able to hold a billion of these different assignments all with
conceivably a billion codeapply ID as in $code['assign'][1]['codeapply'][3],
where "3" is the codeapply value. In other words, because each of these
items directly under assign and codeapply are arrays because they hold
sub-info, I have made the keys of these items the values.

So - am I approaching this whole array thing wrong?

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Display a JPG Image (continued)

Hello all again,

  I am still having trouble opening a jpg image using

header("Content-type: image/jpg");
$file = "docs/picture1.jpg";
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file" );
readfile($file);
The reason being that IE on the win platform does not seem to recognize 
the file extension. Mozilla on the Win and Mac Platform behave 
properly. Someone, suggested that just using image/jpeg. Even that duz

Suggestion welcome. Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Re: Foreach Array Help

[Jed R. Brubaker]

Never mind - I figured it out.

While I was traversing like this:

foreach ($this->code['assign'] as $assign => $details)
{
foreach ($assign['codeapply'] as $codeapply => $ca_details)
{

}
}

I had set up $assign to be the key value, and likewise not be an array. I
changed it to:

foreach ($this->code['assign'] as $assign => $details)
{
foreach ($details['codeapply'] as $codeapply => $ca_details)
{

}
}

and it worked beautifully. Thanks to all of you who got me going in the
right direction.

In HTTP/1.1, the Host header is required, but not in HTTP/1.0. Also, the
specification is not for us to decide; it has already been written. The
Location header requires an absolute URL.

[PHP] PHP 4.3.3 and Apache 2

[Mike Morton]

I know this has been discussed in the past - but I wanted to check in with
the group to see if anything has changed.

I have the opportunity to start with a clean webserver running Apache
22.0.40 with PHP 4.3.3

This is a fairly high volume site that will be run on here - with a great
deal of MYSQL interaction.

In the past I have read that php is not ready for apache 2 (or vice versa -
whatever the case...) and there are some problems with stability.

Is this still the case?  Is it time to run a production site with this
combo?  Any experiences with other high volume sites running an apache 2/php
combo?

Any suggestions are appreciated :)

TIA

Here, $assign is a key from the $this->code['assign'] array.  Since,
according to the array above, assign has only one element, and the key to
that element is '1', $assign will always be one and this code run through
just once.  $details is an array with three key/value pairs.  They are
'type' => 'Transcript', 'rows' => '603', and 'codeapply' => (an array).

> > > foreach ($assign['codeapply'] as $codeapply =>

> > > {

So, looking at this it looks like what you actually want to do is:
  foreach($details['codeapply'] ... )

$details['codeapply'] has a single key/value pair, which is ('1' => (an
array)).  This array can be reached by using $ca_details['codeset']... etc.

Correct. Also, a 3xx response should not render the content that is
included with the response, unless the client doesn't support 3xx
(rare) or the user wishes that the browser not to redirect
automatically.

The refresh header will render the html and start the timer for the
refresh once the rendering is done, which does effect the history
of the browser.

[PHP] Re: Pulling variables from a URL

[Gabriel Peugnet]

Every body have already gave you the answers.
Just one more thing:

the method you are useing is GET because you are passing variables in the
URL so use of $_POST doesn't work.

the only line you need is
$username = $_GET['username'];

after this you can do any thing with $username.

Loading the whole file in memory and not doing anything with it

This also doesn't effect IE.

I'm trying to track progress etc..say running and how each run gets'

Anyway, when doing the mysql_fetch_array, I need that data to somehow 
not get lost once the while loop has completed, also, I need to stack 
the array so that phplot can run w/ it... The data that gets passed to 
phplot.php should look like the following, but..that's only b/c I'm 
printr inside the while loop...You cannot pass the DrawGraph function 
inside the loop and expect it to function it correctly.

If someone would like to give me some ideas/tips/pointers it would be

Re: [PHP] Server Slow After PHP Error

[Timothy Hitchens]

I would suggest that your Apache process has not finished with PHP
processing eg. loop etc etc

Remember that HTTP/1.0 allows (4) four connections and HTTP/1.1 allows (2)
two connections so if you have a long process eg a HTTP/1.1 stream coming
from the server or the server believes that the connection has yet to
finish then it would appear to you as the server is slow ... when this
happens next try from another box and you should see no problems.

[PHP] cURL > Authorize.Net > Super slow processing times!!

[Matt Babineau]

Hey All-

Just built a cart, and I want to connect it to Authorize.net with cURL
and I am able to do that fine. The problem is, it takes a while to
process the transaction. Sometimes the user's browser just sits there
for 5, 10 or even 30 seconds before the page finishes processing and
they are taken to their confirmation receipt. I was wondering if anyone
had any similar experiences with Authorize.net or would know how to
speed this process WAY up. Its just too darn slow.

It seems that my web server takes forever to process the transactions
which make it look like the page is timing out to the user. I have a
fast server, at a great hosting facility. Does anyone have any examples
of really fast authorize.net code?

Here is how my code works:

1. user enters payment info
2. hit sumbit and goes to payment processing page
3. pages sends transaction to authorize.net
4. user is redirected to receipt page using header(Location) upon
success otherwise back to payment page upon failure.

I am using an Authorize.net class off zend.com for the processing,
you'll find I submitted an updated version to them a few months ago.

Does anyone have a better way of doing this? or have any suggestion for
"the best" speed related solution?

Thanks!!
Matt

Are you saying readfile() somehow avoids loading the whole file into

Correct, readfile() doesn't load the whole file into memory.

Imagine if readfile did read the whole thing into memory. and you
have a script was sending 100MB files to the users and then 10 people
happend to come across your site at the same time. your system will
require, at minimum, 1000MB's of memory to send the files. And cross your
fingers the site doesn't get posted to a BBs.

[PHP] class/object design

[Chris W. Parker]

Hey peeps.

Let me try to make this simple. Right now I have a base db class that is
moved solely for interacting with the db. It opens the connection, runs
queries, and returns the results of those queries. Along with this class
I've got some other classes (I'll call them "upper" classes) that are
used to interact with different aspects of my project. For example I've
got a Products class (used to add/delete products, etc.) and a Category
class (used to add/delete categories, etc.).

Currently I'm extending the base db class into these "upper" classes.
i.e.

class DB
{
function dostuff ()
{
}
}

class Products extends DB
{
function dothings ()
{
$this->dostuff();
}
}

On this list I read a post that suggested I not do it this way but
instead instantiate a DB object within each method of the "upper" class
whenever necessary (as far as I understood the recommendation).

This sounds like a good idea except that this would mean I'd be creating
and destroying a DB object each time a method in an "upper" class needed
to access the db. The way I'm doing it now requires that I only
instantiate one object for the entire page and let any method in that
"upper" class to share the connection.

With my limited knowledge of OOP the only solution I can see would be to
use a constructor in the "upper" class to instantiate the object when
the "upper" class object is instantiated.

Am I making sense and does anyone have any suggestions or comments to
add? Maybe something to straighten me out?



Thanks,
Chris.

[PHP] Sessions Question

[Jake McHenry]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to set up sessions, but have been having problems. I
created an online time clock for my company using php and a mysql
database. It's everything that my boss wanted. The only problem is, he
told me today that he is planning on selling it to our partners. The
actual software and database will reside on my server, but I will give
them their own database.

I started designing it about 2 years ago, and the machine that I was
working on at the time had register_globals=on, so I built my
scripting around that. I didn't know much about php at the time, but
have learned an immense amount since then.

Since a people are now going to be accessing the time clock from
outside my company, I need to turn register_globals off, and turn
sessions on. My problem is that all my variables are declared locally
in the individual files, and are being passed by forms to $PHP_SELF,
and all of the variables and their values can be seen in the address
bar.

This never concerned me while being inside my firewall, since it was
only my employees and I. I knew what was going on.

I've read a lot of documents on the net concerning sessions, but still
can't get it to work right. Whenever I try to go to another page, or
submit a time, it either doesn't work at all, or it works, but the
value that's in the variable is stuck there, and I can't change it
without closing the browser and starting over.

Can someone point me in the right direction here?

RE: [PHP] Sessions Question

[Chris Hubbard]

Jake,
it would be helpful if we could see your code.

That said...

first you need to identify what information you need to track in the
sessions, and whether you're going to use php sessions (the $_SESSIONS
array) or build your own mysql based session tracker.

to use php sessions:
you will need some place where you set up/create the sessions.  typically
this is the login page.  let's assume you'll use the login page.  The logic
for the login page goes something like this:
1.  present a form for logging in (usually username/password)
2.  on post, clean the posted data (remove html, special characters, etc)
3.  check the cleaned username/password against the data in the database
4.  if the username/password is valid, create your session and assign
variables to it like this:
session_start();  //create the session
$id = session_id();  // create a unique session id
session_register("id");  // register id as a session variable
session_register("name");  // register name as a session variable
session_register("email");  // register email as a session variable
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;  // assign the unique session id to session array
$_SESSION["name"] = $data["name"];  // assign the username to session array
$_SESSION["email"] = $data["email"];  // assign additional values (after
regisering them) to session array

5.  now either redirect to your main application page, or create another
page with links to that main applicaiton page.  In either case every page
where you want to use sessions has to start with:
session_start();

for example:
http://www.mydomain.com/login.php";);
}else{
// the body of your code goes here.
}

7.  so with all that the pages you want to access session in should have a
structure similar to:



Hope this is helpful.

What exactly are you trying to do and what is it failing? Try showing us
the code in question.

Are you receiving any errors messages?

Are you making sure to start the session with 'session_start();' on each
page the session needs to be accessed?



HTH,

One quick note - if you're starting a session then you can't user the
header() function afterwards. You'll get the lovel "headers already sent"
error. 

Be sure to use an alternate method of redirection if you're starting a
session before your redirect logic takes place.

RE: [PHP] Sessions Question

[Jake McHenry]

Sorry, I sent that last email directly to someone... Here it is again.

Here is my index file, it's the smallest of the set. This would be a
huge post if I would submit one of those. Config.php has config
options, time.php is basically getting the system time and then
manipulating it, instead of in each file.

I tried what you mentioned, almost exactly, missing the register id,
but I was using the $_SESSION for all my variables, and that's where I
ran into not being able to change them unless I would close the
browser and start over. And yes, I was using session_start() at the
beginning of all my files.

If the person puts in username: admin, then it basically dumps the
entire database onto the screen, with some manipulation of course,
otherwise, it only shows the individual employees data.

I also know I have to change the way people log in, I need to hash the
password and compare the two instead of all plain text.

Thanks,
Jake

RE: [PHP] Sessions Question

[Chris Hubbard]

Mike,
I don't get the "headers already sent" error.  here's the code I'm using:

if ($_POST)
{
$result = cleanData($_POST);
$sql = "SELECT `id`,`username`,`password`,`email` FROM `users` WHERE
(`username` = '". $result["username"] ."') AND (`password` = '".
md5($result["password"]) ."')";
if ($conn->query($sql))
{
// if name and password match
while (!$conn->movenext())
{
$data["id"] = $conn->value("id");
$data["name"] = $conn->value("username");
$data["email"] = $conn->value("email");
}
// Now create the session
session_start();
$id = session_id();
session_register("id");
session_register("name");
session_register("email");
session_register("sections");
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;
$_SESSION["name"] = $data["name"];
$_SESSION["email"] = $data["email"];
header("Location:
http://ubb.atlantic-records.com/gallery/admin/index.php";);
}else{
// if name and password don't match
header ("Refresh: 0; url=login.php");
}
}

One quick note - if you're starting a session then you can't user the
header() function afterwards. You'll get the lovel "headers already sent"
error.

Be sure to use an alternate method of redirection if you're starting a
session before your redirect logic takes place.

Jake,
it would be helpful if we could see your code.

That said...

first you need to identify what information you need to track in the
sessions, and whether you're going to use php sessions (the $_SESSIONS
array) or build your own mysql based session tracker.

to use php sessions:
you will need some place where you set up/create the sessions.  typically
this is the login page.  let's assume you'll use the login page.  The logic
for the login page goes something like this: 1.  present a form for logging
in (usually username/password) 2.  on post, clean the posted data (remove
html, special characters, etc) 3.  check the cleaned username/password
against the data in the database 4.  if the username/password is valid,
create your session and assign variables to it like this:
session_start();  //create the session
$id = session_id();  // create a unique session id
session_register("id");  // register id as a session variable
session_register("name");  // register name as a session variable
session_register("email");  // register email as a session variable
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;  // assign the unique session id to session
array
$_SESSION["name"] = $data["name"];  // assign the username to
session array
$_SESSION["email"] = $data["email"];  // assign additional values
(after regisering them) to session array

5.  now either redirect to your main application page, or create another
page with links to that main applicaiton page.  In either case every page
where you want to use sessions has to start with: session_start();

for example:
http://www.mydomain.com/login.php";);
}else{
// the body of your code goes here.
}

7.  so with all that the pages you want to access session in should have a
structure similar to: 


Hope this is helpful.

Chris

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to set up sessions, but have been having problems. I
created an online time clock for my company using php and a mysql database.
It's everything that my boss wanted. The only problem is, he told me today
that he is planning on selling it to our partners. The actual software and
database will reside on my server, but I will give them their own database.

I started designing it about 2 years ago, and the machine that I was working
on at the time had register_globals=on, so I built my scripting around that.
I didn't know much about php at the time, but have learned an immense amount
since then.

Since a people are now going to be accessing the time clock from outside my
company, I need to turn register_globals off, and turn sessions on. My
problem is that all my variables are declared locally in the individual
files, and are being passed by forms to $PHP_SELF, and all of the variables
and their values can be seen in the address bar.

This never concerned me while being inside my firewall, since

How do you make a session time out?

and how do you make a session end if a person leaves your site?

session_destroy() I'm pretty sure, from what I've read.

Okay, I thought the hack of doing this (scan.sh) might work, but running
some timing tests, it's apparent that it's not...
The more IP addresses I schedule to scan, the longer it takes to return my
browser page.

#!/bin/sh
/bin/scan &

And while if I run it on the command line in bash, it works just fine, PHP
seems to STILL wait until the /bin/scan is done. UGH!

I tried this exec() suggestion and that didn't work right either.
exec("/bin/scan & > /dev/null 2>/dev/null");

Then I thought I might try this
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-fork.php
But frustratingly, "Process Control support in PHP is not enabled by
default. You have to compile the CGI or CLI version of PHP with
--enable-pcntl configuration option when compiling PHP to enable Process
Control support. " and I'm using RPMs without the ability to recompile, as
this PHP code is to be deployed on many boxes that are all ghost images of
the one I'm developing on.

Rasmus or someone in the know, please tell me how I can fire off a process
without having PHP wait for the return.

I'm doing:

$time_start = getmicrotime();
echo "executing scan.sh";
exec("/www/datasafe/scan.sh &");
$time_end = getmicrotime();
echo "command took: ".($time_end - $time_start)." seconds";

And I see things like 7, 14 and 28 seconds depending on if I use a /24, /22,
/21 CIDR range for the IP address subnet. Furthermore, calculating the list
of IP's to put in the db doesn't take more than a second or two in all
cases. And I don't think that the mySQL overhead is taking up the other
time.

Daevid.
