RE: [PHP] using xp home

[Jason Merrique]

Hi Danny,

If you're going to be using PHP for testing purposes on your home PC,
I'd recommend installing EasyPHP. It's basically Apache MySQL and PHP
bundled together. It's pretty easy to set up, just run the installer,
then start the program and you have a PHP enabled webserver.

You should be able to get it at www.easyphp.org

Cheers

Jason

I second that,

What I like the most about WSFTP is that you can edit files on the

[PHP] SQLite: getting field information (type etc)

[Robert S]

I am trying to port a small database application (php, MySQL) to sqlite.
How can I find the type of an arbitrary field?  In other words, what is the
equivalent of mysql_field_type() and mysql_field_flags() in sqlite?

I read something on the sqlite group recently that recommended using
pragma_show_datatypes in a query, but I couldn't get this to work and the
example on the newsgroup was written in C.

Could somebody please enlighten me?

The characters will still actually be there (view the source to see)
it's just that HTML won't render them the way you're expecting. The
spaces will be converted into a single space and the
line-feeds/carriage returns won't do anything either unless you're
using a fixed-width font.

Two choices: Convert the non-displaying characters to their HTML
equivalents (i.e. space to  ) or wrap the text in a  tag.

nl2br() should do that.

Usage: nl2br($foo)

$foo is your textarea variable.

RE: [PHP] Slight cleaning of code needed in str_replace command.

[Dave G]

Jason,
Have no worries, I'm not looking for anyone to write my code for
me. It's precisely because the str_replace command is so simple that I
figure if the results are strange that there is something I don't
understand. And I want to understand it, not just be given code to copy
and paste.
As it turns out, by experimenting with the var_dump() command
that you recommended (which I wasn't aware of), I learned that what was
going wrong was that the line breaks coming out of my MySQL DB aren't
just \n, but \r\n. So swapping around the elements I was replacing, and
experimenting, was not going to do me much good until I knew this.
So now it's working, and largely thanks to the suggestions you
gave. I would never have been able to guess on my own at using
var_dump() in order to get at the solution. Please don't assume that
just because a query is simple that it means that the person asking is
not willing to work or that they haven't already attempted to work at
it. Sometimes it just means that the person asking doesn't know all the
angles possible.

Thanks for your help.

[PHP] Split a string on a space, not in side an HTML tag.

[Stuart Gilbert]

Hi, I'm trying to get a 500 character split of a string, I only want 
about the fist 500 characters, I would like to split on a space, which I 
have managed to do so far, but I would also like the split to not take 
place inside an HTML tag, so that I don't end up with weird looking pages.

I was trying to use strip_tags() error checking to tell me whether I my 
string was valid html or not. If it's not valid html then I would like 
to split before that part of the html begins. Possibly even as simply as 
removing the last 10 characters (to the nearest space) until I get valid 
HTML.

Can anyone help me get a way to split my text at around the 500 
character mark without breaking any HTML which may be inside the string 
I am displaying on the page?

Also, if you're interested in the strip_tags() problem I was speaking 
about then take a look at: http://better.domain.name/php/strip.php there 
is a link to the source on the page.

Regards,
Stuart Gilbert.

[PHP] Character Encoding Problem

[roland]

Hi

I'm trying to encode text entered into an html form.  In dreamweaver,
special characters seem to be encoded as “ (a curly quote) for
example, which I assume is utf-8.

Here is my code snippet:

htmlentities(html_entity_decode(strip_tags(stripslashes(trim($data,
ENT_QUOTES), ENT_QUOTES, "utf-8")

but this does not seem to return the encoded value.  I've tried all the
character sets, but none of them seem to do anything apart from the windows
specific character set, which doesn't return the value I want.

I've tried using html_entity_decode with uft-8, but it throws an error
saying that the function doesn't support MBCS (Multibyte character sets???)

I've also tried using utf8_encode() before trying to html encode, but this
doesn't work either.

Any help gratefully appreciated

Thanks In Advance
Roland

It's good to know you've solved your problem. I hope you appreciate that my 
suggestions will be of more use to you in the long run than a straight 
forward answer to your problem. It's better to teach someone how to fish than 
to do the fishing for them.

[PHP] Connection handling and output_buffering

[neko]

Hi guys,

Was reading through:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.connection-handling.php
And I was wondering how PHP handles script termination when you have 
'output_buffering = On' in your php.ini?

If I have a long script that does lots of database stuff for example, 
and is riddled with echo() function calls, how will php handle a user 
clicking stop in their browser half way through?

I'm guessing that it WILL continue execution to the end, then when you 
send the buffer back to the client it determines that the client stopped 
the request and it terminates.

I guess some simple testing will suffice!

You're going to have to put that switch logic someplace, though - the
usual way to approach this situation is to have a central dispatch
function/file which checks the user's permissions, and then makes
subrequests to specific display functions for drawing the individual parts
of an interface - disply_nav(), display_login(), etc. Adam suggested the
Factory pattern, but your desired behavior sounds much more like the
Command pattern to me:
http://www.phppatterns.com/index.php/article/articleview/96/1/1/

It's probably cleaner to have all your permissions logic in one place, and
not mess with multiple identically-named functions. It feels like asking
for trouble, to me - your philosophy of laziness is truly admirable, but
you could be creating a serious maintenance headache for yourself down the
road. :)

[PHP] preg guru again.....

Am trying to do a strange thing with php..

Extract the urls from the Internet Explorer index.dat history files

Here is a snippet

+Springsteen&m=phrase&ps=20&o=0&wm=wrd&ul=&wf=1ð­ð­ð­ð­
it breaks down in the following elements
the :date: in the format mmddmmdd
The expression I'm using is
(":16[0-9]:")
ie matching the : with 16 digits :
I'm using  to match the url part  (taken from php manual - thanks).. 
however am getting all the illegal characters - nulls, binary, etc back 
as its a binary file

preg_match("/^(.*:\/\/)?([^:\/]+):?([0-9]+)?(.*)/", $contents, $match);

also I want to allow / ~ ? & characters as well as http: file: protocols

Complete string is
preg_match(":16[0-9]:/^(.*:\/\/)?([^:\/]+):?([0-9]+)?(.*)/", $contents,

Of course it doesnt work !!!

RE: Re[2]: [PHP] Self Submitting Form

[Sam Masiello]

Ah ha!

I think I found where the problem lies(and also our confusing
disconnect).  Even though you and I were doing pretty much the same
thing, your case worked fine in the instance where the parameter being
submitted in the self submitting form was only one word.  If you changed
your test case to something like "hi there" (which is what I was using
in my testing), it breaks.  Why?  The parameter needs to be urlencoded
first.

Thank you very much for your help and suggestions, Toby!  I really
appreciate your time and effort in helping me to see the light.

I described a situation where MSIE for Windows would not post all of a
form's fields under fairly unique circumstances. This problem occurs in
MSIE 5, 5.5, and 6 (with the most recent hotfixes applied). No other
browsers seem to be affected. When:

1. A form is submitted with the enctype attribute set to
"multipart/form-data".

2. No http header is sent to explicitly select a character encoding that
matches form input, or if the http header and xml prolog and/or meta
http-equiv="content-type" tag do not select the correct character
encoding[1].

3. The user has input a character into one of the form fields, such as
[TM], a curly quote, or some other character that could have been
copy-pasted from a word processor, that is not defined in the character
set identified by some combination of an http header, xml prolog, and
meta tag.

4. There is at least one unchecked checkbox on contained in the form
(thanks Pablo!).

MSIE will not return all of the name/value pairs sent in the posted form
to the server. If you check the checkbox, the form will post normally.
The earliest reference to this problem that I could find was in a German
Usenet post[2,3], where the special character was the Euro sign.
Although the behaviour is a little buggy, we can't blame MSIE for
getting it wrong.

I've posted a new version of my page that sends the correct header:



And that uses the correct meta tag:



I've omitted the xml prolog because of other problems that it can cause
with MSIE 6.

The page is still posted here:

I'd recommend installing EasyPHP. It's basically Apache MySQL and PHP
bundled together. It's pretty easy to set up, just run the installer,
then start the program and you have a PHP enabled webserver.

You should be able to get it at www.easyphp.org

Cheers

Jason

I second that,

What I like the most about WSFTP is that you can edit files on the
remote site. Very handy!

What happens if you echo out $query to the browser window and try to
copy and paste the query into  a command line mysql session (be sure to
connect to the database using the same authentication credentials that
you have in the script)?  Does it work?

[PHP] PHP Alternative to IFRAME?

[Nicole]

Is there a PHP alternative to an IFRAME? Here's what I mean.

Is there a way to include a file in my php document that will be positioned
where I want it, like an IFRAME? I want to have it aligned right with text
wrapping around it and I know IFRAME is not compatible with Netscape
browsers.

Thanks

No, of course not. PHP is a server-side language. IFRAME's (and
anything related to page construction/display) is client-side.

You're mixing technologies. If Netscape won't display something, there
is nothing PHP can do about it. You need to think of another layout
technique that it can display.

You shouldn't wrap the column names in quotes. Try:

$query = "INSERT INTO invoices (ip, total, creation, first_name,
email, session, last_name) VALUES ...

If that doesn't work there is probably an error between the query, the
query data and the SQL table structure. Post the SQL table layout so
the values can be checked.

[PHP] passthru and GET parameters

[Guillouet Nicolas]

Hi all,

I am trying to use htmldoc with passthru function : 

passthru("htmldoc -t html --quiet --jpeg --webpage --footer --bottom
0.2cm --left 1.78cm --right 1cm --top 0.2cm '' $options $filename");

where $filename is urls, it works fine but not with GET pamameters :
 if $filename is like
'http://host/file.php?PHPSESSID=**&value=1', passthru is
waiting for the command.

I think the trouble comes from the char '&', I have the same result on
command line except if I use quote for the filename. And when I watch
the process created by apache, the command is send without quote or
quotation mark even if I put some in the filename.

How can I do ?

Thanks

I have not used squirrelcart, but I do really like eShox
(http://www.eshox.com) most of my clients use it and it has great
configurability.

Most of my clients use either Authorize.net or 2checkout.com, both seem to
work quite well, especially with eshox.

again, you're mixing things up. php doesn't have anything to do with
this EXCEPT that it sends html to the client. you have to decide what
html should be sent to the client.

you should join a list such as webdesign-l or thelist to ask this kind
of question.

Yes absolutely, but again this is still an HTML issue.

Say you've got a PHP file that has all of the HTML in it that you
want, other than this little box. At the place where you want the
content of that box to appear you need to use something like this:



Whatever is contained in the "little_box.php" script will then appear
in exactly that place in the final page.

Of course you're going to need to arrange the HTML in both files to
make this work, but I think it's what you are after.

[PHP] saving form data

[Charlie Fiskeaux II]

I'm using a prebuilt Perl form mailer script for a project, 
but because the form is so long, my client would like to 
give the user the ability to save the data and come back to 
finish it later. I was hoping to be able to code this part 
in PHP (because I don't know Perl), but I'm fairly new to 
PHP and don't know how to get one form to go to two 
different places. Because the target of the form is the Perl 
script (for emailing the submitted form), how can I grab the 
data from the form with PHP?

RE: [PHP] saving form data

[Sam Masiello]

If the PHP configuration doesn't have "register_globals" turned on in
the php.ini file, you will be able to access the form variables via the
_POST array like this:

$_POST["my_form_var"]

Of course, substitute my_form_var with the correct variable from the
form that you are submitting.

If the server does have register_globals turned on you can access the
variables just as they are named in the form.  For example, if you have
a text input field named "lastname", you can access the value in that
text box using the variable $lastname.

HTH!

Just as a note, check out www.md5crk.com.  They aim to do just this and

Here, here, PGP adds more benefits as long as you don't leak your
private key.  You could always try and wrap everything as a mime message
or zip the two together.  Also, place a link to the pgp signature in the
README file.  Not that anyone ever reads those though. ;)

Re: [PHP] Detecting Binaries

[Axel IS Main]

Guys, this isn't THAT stupid of a question is it? From my perspective, 
the way PHP seems to see it is that I should already know what kind of 
file I'm looking at. In most cases that's not an unreasonable 
assumption. Unfortunately, that's only good for most cases. PHP is rich 
in ways to work with the HTTP protocol, but has no way of detecting 
whether it's opening a text file or a binary file. To me this is a 
glaring omission. There has to be a way to do it, even if it's a 
round-a-bout or backdoor kind of way. Nothing is impossible.

Re: [PHP] Detecting Binaries

[Axel IS Main]

Yes, and in fact that is what I am doing now. This is a spider bot 
though, so I'm having to think of every single type of binary file that 
could be linked to on the web. So far I'm up to 28 with no end in sight. 
What about a .com file? I can't omit links that end in .com can I? That 
would be counterproductive to say the least. Also, the function that 
does the checking just keep getting longer and longer, which makes the 
spider go slower and slower. Granted, the thing is pretty fast if it has 
enough BW to work with, but still. This could eventually turn into a 
script killer. Detecting whether the stream from file_get_contents(), or 
fopen() for that matter, is binary or not and going with that result is 
the elegant solution to this problem. There has to be a way to do it.

Well you can do a check on the mime type of the file.  eg.

$mimes = array("1" => "application/octet-stream",
   "2: => "image/jpeg",
etc.
For more info...
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php
Just like the upload file function you can check for the mime types...
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
Just a thought, might not be a comlete solution however.

Even Windows doesn't *know* what type of file you've got until you

You could say it's a glaring omission from operating systems too,
because most succumb to this. The only way to tell for sure is to read
in the header of the file and parse it. If you are blanket rejecting
all binaries - good luck, it'll take ages. Another solution might be
to just treat the file as text regardless and strip out every byte
that is above the standard ASCII value. Hello CPU upgrade requirement.

[PHP] PHP 5

[Karl Timmermann]

Hi,

I am new to the list, so sorry if this has been asked before. I was 
wondering if anyone knew of an approx. date for the final release of 
PHP 5.0? I ask because I have a project to do semi-soon that uses XML 
and I would rather wait for PHP 5 and use the SimpleXML extension to 
make things easier. My client does not want to put beta software on 
their server, which is why I can't use B4.

Thanks!

There's no way you can add the CRC after calculating it without modifing 
the CRC for that file. If you add the CRC after you have calculated it, you 
are indeed modifing the file, so the CRC would change.

If you want to just check the script file itself, you can create a custom 
CRC calculation for your scripts that calculates it just for a section of it:


//{CRC-START}
... your script stuff here
//{CRC-END}
?>
Just calculate the CRC between the tags and add it. Be sure you don't 
modify the contents between the tags (carriage returns, etc), since it will 
change the CRC of the file.

Also remember that the CRC will change if you upload the file through FTP 
in ASCII mode between Windows/Linux, so the CRC check will also fail.

You could trying writing a script to check the first several bytes of
the file for control characters.  If the first 1kb is >= 20% (randomly
pulled from my head) control characters it's a safe bet it is a binary
file.  This is not 100% accurate, but it's something to play with that
doesn't rely on mime types or file extensions, both of which can easily
be inaccurate.

It will be released when it is done.  AFAIK there is not a release date
yet at all.  It will be released when enough bugs are fixed and enough
people do not complain about it not working right when they use it.  If
you want to shorten the time to release you can always go and fix some
bugs. :)

The difference isn't as obvious as you might think. Opening a binary
file into a hex editor will show you this. Your brain can determine if
the codes in-front of you are "English" or not, but from a pure logic
point of view that's a little harder.

Also bear in mind that on Unix ALL files are binary files. It is up to
you to determine the type of the file contents as you see fit. For
example you can check for line-terminated data.

It would be wise to check for characters from 0 to 31, if they appear
then it's almost certainly (but not guaranteed) binary.

One spin off on this design would be to setup a naming convention to
your functions.  Action_List() could become:
Action_List_nouser()
Action_List_user()
Action_List_admin()

You could have a function that pairs a "List" call with the user's state
and generates the function call:
$func = 'Action_' . $func_name . '_' . $user_state;
$output = $func($args);

You can aggregate this with the Command pattern Michal mentioned
earlier.  I would recommend using a variation of the Command pattern to
collect your actions, then use the Factory pattern to manage your user
states and select the appropriate set of actions.  This will give you a
lot of flexibility down the road at the expense of some additional
programming now.  You should not need to create abstract classes for
each action, however you will need classes to handle creation,
execution, etc. of these classes.  IMHO laziness is a boon to
programming, over implementation will be the death of us all. :)

Here's another non-OO solution.  You could define these functions in
their own files.  For example, hold all the admin versions of these
functions in an admin include, do the same for user, etc.  Then include
the appropriate file based in the user's state and proceed from there. 
You will not need to worry about having duplicate function names, though
the implementation will be somewhat unique.  Also, if a user changes
state you will have to issue an HTTP redirect to reload the correct
functions.  Fortunately, I would guess that would rarely, if ever,
happen in the middle of a script's execution.

In looking for a non-OO solution, my opinion is that option 1 would be
the best.  It is easy to implement and documentation/code reading will
be easier as time passes.  Having multiple functions with the same name

Yes things are really not that bad. However expect to give up somewhere

support multiple databases mainly :-)  ).

Well, yes, you're going to lose some processing time using an 
abstraction layer, but IMHO the pros far outweight the cons, even if you 
don't need ot support multiple DBs.
  1) Many very useful utility functions which will give you the data 
you want and automatically free resources for you, such as getRow(), 
getAll(), and getOne().
  2) Good and easy to use error handling (this is very important, 
believe me).
  3) A unified architecture for mysql and Oracle. You don't have to 
remember different functions for use with different databases.
  4) You never know when you might want to switch to another DB.
  5) You never know someone else using your code might want to switch 
to another DB.

The company I'm at now had an abstraction layer of their own (for all of 
these reasons) and it wasn't nearly as good as PEAR DB even after all of 
the work I put into it. I just didn't have the time to deal with it all 
on my own. I'd much rather use PEAR DB which has lots of developers 
working on it and using it, finding bugs and making patches. :-)

That abstraction only abstracts the functions to connect to, select and
query the database, surely? Oracle/SQL Server/MySQL all use slightly
different SQL syntax - so if the query you pass in has to be unique
depending on the database in hand - you're already having to remember
a stack of system specific SQL and will have to code your application
to take into consideration all of those different syntax.

What I'm trying to say is that abstracting the connection to the
database is the easy part, writing an application that will support
them all is another matter.

Alright, well with any txt based system, your probably going to run into
problems with multi-users (multiple browsers) updating the DB.

Reguardless, if you must use txtbased, I recommend SQL-Lite, it supports
SQL statements, and is very small and very fast.

Very true. In that case, you can use a package such as DB_DataObject or 
DB_QueryTool to abstract the SQL as well.

Or you can use fairly simple SQL with just a few rules and you should be 
fine. For instance, always select columns as upper case (for Oracle 
compatibility) or always convert them to lower case 
(DB_PORTABILITY_LOWERCASE), always use DB::quoteSmart() for values and 
DB::quoteIdentifier() for table / column names, etc.

The real hairy part is dealing with joins as the syntax is very 
different across the DBs. This can be solved by simply not doing them or 
using a syntax that most use. Or you can try to use DB_DataObject, but 
I'm not sure it works for all DBs yet.

Yeah, I thought as much. I think if I was creating an application to
be distributed open-source on the Internet it'd make life easier
for other developers if it used something like the PEAR-DB class, but
when you're building your own/companies site and know the environment
it lessens the value somewhat.

Assuming that's decimal, you're including 0x09 0x0a and 0x0d which are, 
respectively, tab, line feed, and carriage return. That's off the top of my 
head, which means two things: (1) i may be forgetting something, and (2) I 
need a life ;)

I'm not up to speed on this thread, but perhaps you could (ab)use some 
techniques from natural language processing? May be overkill, though ;)

You do it by including an email header that instructs that the message be
sent as an attachment, like the following:

$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subj = "Testing an attachment";
$mess = "This is the test message.";
$headers = "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt\n";
$mailsend = mail($to,$subj,$mess,$headers);

This will send the message in $mess as an attachment with the filename
test.txt.

Good Luck,

You can't make one form submit to two different scripts sadly, but to
be honest if you're going to write a PHP script to capture this
information - why not make it do what the Perl formmail script does
too? (i.e. send the email) and remove the Perl script from the

Let me rephrase - check for the existence of characters 0 through 31
and count how many there are. Set a percentage weight yourself and
figure out in your script if you deem the quantity too many or too
few.

The count_chars() function will be absolutely ideal for this.

[PHP] Problem deleting a cookie...

[Dave O]

Hi all.  I'm currently experiencing a problem deleting cookies on a test 
server.  Before I go on, here's the server info:

Server 1
--
Apache 1.3.29
PHP Version 4.3.4
Server 2
--
Apache 2.0.48
PHP Version 4.3.4
Previously running PHP 5.0.0.a4
I've got a technical support app running on Server 1.  Well I wanted to 
add some features and started playing around with PHP 5 and Apache 2 on 
Server 2.  So, I tried out some of my scripts that used the following 
for using cookies.

Here's what I use to set the cookie.
$value=(time() + 9000) . ":$uid:$username:$gid:$fullname";
SetCookie("Trackookie", $value, 0, "", "server.mssystems.com" );
Here's what I use to delete the cookie.
SetCookie("Trackookie", "", time()-3600, "", "support.mssystems.com" );
Now, creating the cookie is no problem.  Deleting the cookie is where I 
started having problems on Server 2.  At first, I thought it was PHP5 so 
I went to PHP4.  However, I still kept having the same problem.

Looking at the headers using Mozilla Live-Headers I was able to see that 
this was sent from both servers:

Set-Cookie: Trackookie=deleted; expires=Sun, 23-Feb-2003 22:47:22 GMT; 
domain=server.mssystems.com

However, if I look at the Mozilla cookie manager, I still see the cookie 
there for Server 2.  If I try the same thing on Server 1, the cookie 
gets deleted without any problems.

I suspect it may be due to my using Apache 2 and downgrading won't be a 
problem, but I wanted to check first if anyone had been experiencing the 
same problems.

I should add, though, that I was a little overzealous and added quite a 
few extensions on Server 2 in order to experiment with them.  Have there 
been any reports of extensions causing confllicts with cookies.

Thanks and I appreciate any general comments or advice about this.

Sorry, didn't proofread my initial message.  I wish it were that easy as 
what you pointed out.  Here are the actual commands used in the script

Server 1 (support.mssystems.com)

Set cookie:
$value=(time() + 9000) . ":$uid:$username:$gid:$fullname";
SetCookie("Trackookie", $value, 0, "", "support.mssystems.com" );
Delete cookie:
SetCookie("Trackookie", "", time()-3600, "", "support.mssystems.com" );
Server 2 (token.mssystems.com)

Set cookie:
$value=(time() + 9000) . ":$uid:$username:$gid:$fullname";
SetCookie("Trackookie", $value, 0, "", "token.mssystems.com" );
Delete cookie:
SetCookie("Trackookie", "", time()-3600, "", "token.mssystems.com" );
As I stated in the initial post, the only difference between the two 
servers is the apache version (1.3.29 vs 2.0.48).  These are virtual 
hosts and the php directives are the same for both servers.  This just 
seems very puzzling.

I'd actually prefer to keep it all together, because it's a lot easier to

[PHP] Finding out the local path to a file.

[Simon Fredriksson]

I'm wondering if there's a way for PHP fo know the local path of 
REQUEST_URI. I've used a script to list directories, in order to replace 
the looks of the traditional Indexes look (apache). By setting 
DirectoryIndex to a fixed file (/list/lister.php) that file is now 
executed whenever there's no other indexfile in the folder. But how can 
I let it know which folder to work in? Let's say that it gets 
example.com/~simon/files/ as URL. All the local variables I've seen by 
using phpinfo() point to the location of the file, not the folder I'm 
requesting.

Any ideas?

there for Server 2.  If I try the same thing on Server 1, the cookie 
gets deleted without any problems.

I suspect it may be due to my using Apache 2 and downgrading won't be a 
problem, but I wanted to check first if anyone had been experiencing the 
same problems.

I should add, though, that I was a little overzealous and added quite a 
few extensions on Server 2 in order to experiment with them.  Have there 
been any reports of extensions causing confllicts with cookies.

Thanks and I appreciate any general comments or advice about this.

Re: [PHP] Detecting Binaries

[Axel IS Main]

That's not bad, but I found a way to do it simply using chr() and 
passing it a value. It turns out the if I go 0-31 Almost nothing will 
get through. Even the simples html has something in there from that 
list. However, by just looking between 14 and 26, one more than carriage 
return, and one less than escape, it worked really well. I crawled a 
site with a large number of jpg, gif, mp3, wav, and pdf files. Of the 
100's of binaries there only one pdf got through. Not a bad record. I 
also found that in order for this to work I have to process the URLs. 
This makes things really slow so I'm going to have to use both this and 
the "check for extension" function together. Still, I can worry a lot 
less about getting my index weighted down by binary files. The code is 
pretty basic at this point, but here it is:

   // Check for binaries
   $ckbin = 14;
   while($ckbin <= 26){
   $ck = chr($ckbin);
   $cbin = substr_count($read, $ck);
   if($cbin > 0){
   echo "Killing off binary file URL: $url\n";
   $kill = mysql_unbuffered_query("DELETE FROM search WHERE 
url_id='$url_id'");
   continue 2;
   }
   ++$ckbin;
   }
I know it looks kind of funky out of context, but it works really great.

Let me rephrase - check for the existence of characters 0 through 31
and count how many there are. Set a percentage weight yourself and
figure out in your script if you deem the quantity too many or too
few.
The count_chars() function will be absolutely ideal for this.

 

RE: [PHP] saving form data

[Gary Sanders]

Charlie,

Can you make the submit target be the PHP script and have the PHP script
call the Perl script to send the email?

[PHP] system / exec Question...

[Gary Sanders]

Title: Message



Hello... I'm using 
with PHP with Windows XP.  I just set it up today and terribly new to PHP 
(1st day).  Anyway, I'm having a problem calling an .exe file with system 
and exec.  I can call lots of other programs, but not this one.  Can 
you tell me what's the best way to debug a problem like this - or how I enable 
the debugging options?  
 
Thanks,
Gary

__FILE__ will also do it.

Well you could try using an HTTP 302 Found or 307 Temporary Redirect, but IIRC 
clients must not redirect the request unless the response is received in 
response to a GET or HEAD request, so you'd have to use GET. I seem to 
remember reading something about uploading files, which is kinda difficult 
with GET...

Possibly your best option would be to send a POST request through the HTTPD 
via a socket- there are libraries out there to help you do this easily, try 
PEAR, hotscripts, phpclasses, etc.
