[PHP] Use a Server or Client Socket?
Hi all,
I have this situation now that requires socket programming. But I am not
sure how to realise the requirements in programming whether as a client or
server
The requirement is like this.
I have to connect to an external server constantly to listen for incoming
data. How can I make sure that the connection is there all the time? Upon
receiving the message, I will have to response back an acknowledgement that
the message is received. I can also send data to the server. From my
requirements, I understand that there will only be one connection. Therefore
the data exchange need not be in sequence.
Currently, what I have is a server programmed using the socket library.
Server logic :
socket_create
socket_bind
socket_listen
while(true)
{
socket_select
if(new connection)
{
add to connections array
}
else
{
if(can read)
{
read incoming
response back
}
else
{
//error or connection close
if(error)
{
print error
}
else
{
print connection close
remove from connections array
}
}
}
}
I am planning to include a check somewhere in the codes for maintaining the
connection between my server and the other server. Where should I place it?
Also, I need to initiate a connection to the external server and then
listen. Where should this piece of code be insert at? Is this the right
approach? Or I am over killing by writing a server if this can be handle in
easier manner.
Hope that I have been clear in the above.
Thanks for helping

[PHP] explode() an array and grep out a string
Hi all.
Is it possible to explode an array and have it exclude a certain
string. I currently have an array that is an ldapsearch that returns
sub-accounts of a parent account. These accounts are then displayed so
customer can either change the passwd or delete them.Thing is
ldapsearch returns everymatch which includes the parent account, which
is already listed on the page as the parent account. I would like to
eliminate the second listing of the parent account where the
sub-accounts are listed.
This is where the array is collected:
$search = ldap_search($connection,"dc=isp,dc=com",
"ispParentAcct=$sessUsername");
$entries = ldap_get_entries($connection, $search);
$num = $entries["count"];
if ($num) {
$sessSubAccounts = "";
$i = 0;
while ($i < $num) {
$sessSubAccounts .=
$entries[$i]["uid"][0] . "|";
$i++;
}
}
One thing I would like to point out is that I did not have this problem
before, but when I updated to a new version of openldap the following
ldapsearch would no longer return the subaccounts:
$search = ldap_search($connection,"dc=isp,dc=com",
"homeDirectory=/home/$sessUsername/*");
Any idea why that may be?
This is where the array is exploded:
if ($sessSubAccounts) {
$accounts = explode("|", $sessSubAccounts);
while ($i < count($accounts) - 1)
?>

Re: [PHP] Need a way to automate user logout
I used cron to do this as well; but i devised a much simpler, elegant solution that is cross-browser and event-based and not schedule-based. I basically have a javascript include file that instantiates a function that counts down in T-minus 10 minutes fashion. at 9:30 the browser pops a window and says "you appear to be inactive; would you like to continue working?" clicking on yes closes the popup and resets the timer; not clicking expires the popout which redirects the parent page to the logout. clicking on "log me out" basically circumvents the 30-second countdown straight to the logout. to handle the alt+F4-happy crowd i devised a way to pop a special logout window when the browser is closed. this child window destroys sessions and makes database logs; this window closes itself. this happened to work for me, YMMV. ~phillip jackson "Craig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I can write a script in > > perl, php, java, u name it, but how do I have it run on a set > > schedule? > > Thanks > > > > Christian > > you will want to use the cron command. run 'man cron' at a shell prompt > to > get the manual page that will explain the finer points. =) > > HTH, > Craig > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I am. There may be a problem with include_once, something about where it's placed and so on... But anyway I would advise you to not generally rely on include_once() or require_once(). These are just meant to protect you from making an error, but you should check to see that you don't use include_once() on the same file many times. It's bad practice to include one file several times. One tip i would give you, is to set up one file, something like "define_classes.inc.php", which is responsable for including the classes and defining them. In this way you can just include define_classes.inc.php in the scripts where you need classes, and your work will be a lot more structured. I personally use this system on my web-site, and it does that i don't have to be worried about if I am getting the correct classes, because I get them all through define_classes.inc.php Eric -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Use a Server or Client Socket?
Hi Tan,
If you are connecting to another server you are using a client socket
you do not need to make a server socket. If you need to listen for
connections make use of a server socket. To give you an example your
browser makes use of client sockets while apache makes use of server
sockets. That is an over simplified view of things but hope it helps you
understand things better.
Generally working with client sockets is easier.

[PHP] Beginner amazes self with image gallery script!
This PHP stuff is too cool!
Thanks for getting me over the hump folks.
Here's my work in progress:
http://hills.ccsf.edu/~pfurma02/index.php?SCREEN=ecards.php
Only the 'next' button works for now but still I'm darn impressed with
myself . This will work on any folder of pictures with a subfolder of
thumbs!
(source code below)
My question is, I'm updating the pages by creating a url back to the
same script with some differing $_REQUEST settings for the page number
(&PAGE=2) and on a smaller screen this bumps the page back to the top.
Is there a better way to do this with some kind of update image function
without getting into incompatible javascript or CSS or am I following
normal procedure? Of course I'll want to be able to click each thumbnail
to bring it into the big picture box, for now it's just displaying the
first image on the page.
Here's another example of such a thing that leads me to believe I'm on
the right track:
http://butterflies.bruciesusenetshit.info/butterflies
# if the following is going to take an external url it'll need work
if (!(chdir ($imagedir))){
print "invalid directory";
}
$fh=opendir($imagedir);
# extract & count pictures
while ($file = readdir($fh)){
if (strstr ($file, '.jpg')){
$pictures[] = $file;
}
}
# check picture sizes [LATER TASK]
$thumbsize = 100;
# verify if page number too high & loop back
$pic_count = count($pictures);
$pages = ($pic_count / 6);
if ($page > $pages + 1) {
$page = 1;
$_REQUEST ['PAGE'] = "1";
}
?>
Current gallery:
"> back
page:
print "$url&PAGE=$next";
?>"> next
;
# while the picture number has not exceeded
# the current page
# and total images
while ($pic_num <= ((6 * $page) - 1)
and ($pic_num <= $pic_count - 1)){
?>
# create thumbnail image tags
?>
alt="" border=0>
$pic_num = $pic_num - 6
?>
# create large image tag
#need to verify pic_num in last or empty page
?>

Hi everyone,
I am using OS X v10.3.2 and just discovered that I can't send mail using

According to phpinfo(), PHP is configured with sendmail.
Before upgrading to v10.3, I did not check if the mail() function worked
in v10.2
The script I'm using does work on other servers.
Make sure the path to sendmail is correct in your php.ini.
Ensure that sendmail is installed.
Check to see if sendmail is running.
Make sure sendmail is configured to relay for localhost.

Assuming that you're trying to add something to the end of an existing file:
either fopen() using mode 'a' or use fseek().

I lock CMS database records during editing so multiple users can't edit simultaneously. It's easy to unlock the records via PHP if the user goes to any other area of the CMS or if she logs out. The problem is that users often don't log out, and sometimes leave directly from an edit screen. I tried using the Javascript onunload event to open a new window which runs a PHP script to unlock the record then close itself, but that doesn't work if pop-up blocking software is being used.

Try this:
$parent_account = 'parent_name';
$ldap_results = array('account1','account2','parent_name');
$results = array_diff($ldap_results, array($parent_account));
$results will now have only account1 and account2.

This is not an answer, but it is a solution. I don't ever rely on
include_once. If someone else uses my include files they may not use
include_once. Instead I use the old C/C++ trick of defines:
I use the following structure for creating unique constants to prevent
collisions:
{projectname}_{classname}( include ? _INC:)
A global class outside my projects:
_CLASS_NAME
The class FooBar in my Rule The World project:
RULE_THE_WORLD_FOO_BAR
The config include in my Rule The World project:
RULE_THE_WORLD_CONFIG_INC

[PHP] Re: function only available if PHP4 compiled using --enable-exif
If you're on Windows, you should see a file by the name of php_exif.dll in your PHP\extensions directory. It should've come with the distribution. Depending on the way your php.ini file is set up, you may either leave this file in its current location, or you may need to copy it to your windows\system32 folder. (I have extension_dir in my php.ini file set to c:\PHP\extensions\ so I left the file in that directory.) After checking that, remove the semi-colon (;) from the line before extension=php_exif.dll in the list of extensions in the php.ini file. Then, restart IIS. The extension should now work, and you didn't have to recompile anything. -Ben Paul Furman wrote: Does this mean I need to recompile from source code?

Not sure if there is a more elegant way but:

Another possibility is to pipe the expression to bc, which could do the
input check for you, and probably covers a lot of syntactic ground.
Slightly less resource-efficient, but you don't have to reinvent the
wheel (untested, unix only):
$result = shell_exec("echo '${expr}' | bc");

It sounds like you may want to set the page to not be cached. Here's
what I use to prevent pages from being cached:
function noCacheHeaders() {
header('Expires: Tue, 1 Jan 1980 12:00:00 GMT');
header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate,
post-check=0, pre-check=0, no-transform');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
}
This should prevent proxies, browsers, etc from caching your pages.

Both eval and piping to bc via the shell work but open up big security
holes if you are not careful. If you have bcmath or gmp enabled in php
I recommend looking at these functions:

Re: [PHP] Use a Server or Client Socket?
Hi Raditha,
Thanks, I have a better idea of how to write the codes. But I wonder, to
check that the connection to the external server is on, where should I
place the code? I need to do this every 10 minutes. If the connection is
dropped, I have to reconnect. Where should I place this check? If I
place it in the while(true) loop, I will be checking every few
miliseconds rite? That will be too frequent. What about in another
script? Will I be able to check that the connection is on?

Hi Tan,
If you are connecting to another server you are using a client socket
you do not need to make a server socket. If you need to listen for
connections make use of a server socket. To give you an example your
browser makes use of client sockets while apache makes use of server
sockets. That is an over simplified view of things but hope it helps you
understand things better.
Generally working with client sockets is easier.

Hi all,
I have this situation now that requires socket programming. But I am not
sure how to realise the requirements in programming whether as a
client or
server
The requirement is like this.
I have to connect to an external server constantly to listen for incoming
data. How can I make sure that the connection is there all the time? Upon
receiving the message, I will have to response back an acknowledgement
that
the message is received. I can also send data to the server. From my
requirements, I understand that there will only be one connection.
Therefore
the data exchange need not be in sequence.
Currently, what I have is a server programmed using the socket library.
Server logic :
socket_create
socket_bind
socket_listen
while(true)
{
socket_select
if(new connection)
{
add to connections array
}
else
{
if(can read)
{
read incoming
response back
}
else
{
//error or connection close
if(error)
{
print error
}
else
{
print connection close
remove from connections array
}
}
}
}
I am planning to include a check somewhere in the codes for
maintaining the
connection between my server and the other server. Where should I
place it?
Also, I need to initiate a connection to the external server and then
listen. Where should this piece of code be insert at? Is this the right
approach? Or I am over killing by writing a server if this can be
handle in
easier manner.
Hope that I have been clear in the above.

Re: [PHP] Use a Server or Client Socket?
Hi Raditha,
Thanks, I have a better idea of how to write the codes. But I wonder, to
check that the connection to the external server is on, where should I
place the code? I need to do this every 10 minutes. If the connection is
dropped, I have to reconnect. Where should I place this check? If I
place it in the while(true) loop, I will be checking every few
miliseconds rite? That will be too frequent. What about in another
script? Will I be able to check that the connection is on?
Regards,
Ai Leen

Hi Tan,
If you are connecting to another server you are using a client socket
you do not need to make a server socket. If you need to listen for
connections make use of a server socket. To give you an example your
browser makes use of client sockets while apache makes use of server
sockets. That is an over simplified view of things but hope it helps you
understand things better.
Generally working with client sockets is easier.
best regards

Hi all,
I have this situation now that requires socket programming. But I am not
sure how to realise the requirements in programming whether as a
client or
server
The requirement is like this.
I have to connect to an external server constantly to listen for incoming
data. How can I make sure that the connection is there all the time? Upon
receiving the message, I will have to response back an acknowledgement
that
the message is received. I can also send data to the server. From my
requirements, I understand that there will only be one connection.
Therefore
the data exchange need not be in sequence.
Currently, what I have is a server programmed using the socket library.
Server logic :
socket_create
socket_bind
socket_listen
while(true)
{
socket_select
if(new connection)
{
add to connections array
}
else
{
if(can read)
{
read incoming
response back
}
else
{
//error or connection close
if(error)
{
print error
}
else
{
print connection close
remove from connections array
}
}
}
}
I am planning to include a check somewhere in the codes for
maintaining the
connection between my server and the other server. Where should I
place it?
Also, I need to initiate a connection to the external server and then
listen. Where should this piece of code be insert at? Is this the right
approach? Or I am over killing by writing a server if this can be
handle in
easier manner.
Hope that I have been clear in the above.
Thanks for helping

[PHP] Can I do this?
Can I include a script on another server doing this?
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM '.$table.' where number like '.$number.';';
http://foo.com?list.php?number=16
include("http://elsewhere.com/list.php";);
My $sql is error-ing - obviously. http://elsewhere.com/list.php is not receiving
$number. Can I even do this?

[PHP] PEAR DB 1.6.0RC5 released, please test it
Hello Again: Another release of PEAR DB was made yesterday, 1.6.0RC5. The most important change was fixing the bug for people who use arrays for the DSN information when connecting. It also adds a new method called quoteIdentifier(), which is used for delimiting identifiers (such as field names and table names). I'm planning to issue the stable 1.6.0 release on Tuesday. So, please download the package and test it out. File bug reports if stuff doesn't work or is unclear.
