Hi All,

Thank you for your replies. To be perfectly honest I wanted to make my post
look like a repost because the first reply I got seemed rather flippant to
me:

[snip]
Can PHP recognise dates that are UK Bank Holidays?
[/snip]

Yes http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I didn't want to start a posting war - ironic now I know - so I just started
a new thread.

Ryan, I may be getting out of my league here, but if the makers of PHP
didn't care about us here in the UK then why was this function created:
gmmktime();

I know reposting like this is wrong but I was just trying to make a point.

Sorry guys

RE: [PHP] Let's start a php-advanced list!

[electroteque]

This has come up many times before and I really don't think it will work.
Splitting advanced users from beginners means that there will be nobody to
answer the beginner questions which means they will get posted to the
advanced list where the people with the answers are.  It is a
self-defeating separation.  Having everyone in one big lump means that
both camps and all the camps in between learn from each other.

The other question is who decides what is advanced?  Chances are what you
think is advanced may seem trivial to me, or vice-versa.

I agree totally with rusmus here, sorry but what make you so elite ? Where
here together, i'm sure you came here like myself along time ago as a newby,
do your bit and show your "advanced knowledge" by answering questions. If u
dont want anyone emailing you offlist just say so, dont get a huff about it
later ;)

What has *that* got to do with UK users? The fact is that for historical 
reasons all timezones are based off GMT (or UTC). Thus any kind of 'portable' 
timekeeping will have to be based off UTC. For instance the mail that you're 
reading will have it's Date: header expressed with reference to UTC. In short 
having functions that help convert local time to and from UTC is a good 
thing. Don't kid yourself into thinking that gmmktime() is there for UK 
users' sake :-)

> I know reposting like this is wrong but I was just trying to make a point.

Which is? In most cases reposting at such a short time interval will only 
annoy a lot people.

I think its fairly obvious I am not an advanced PHP programmer. That's why I
said I may be getting out of my league!

I guess the point I was trying to make was that I didn't want to continue
the previous thread.

I can see this is a contentious issue, I wont do it again :)

I think it was 4 hours apart, one at 7am another at 11am but still .. google first,

If you feel the need to repost, wait at least one day. This *is* an 
international list and people *do* live, work and play in different 
timezones.

And in any case reposting the exact same question will still annoy people no 
matter what the time interval. If you do repost try to bring something new to 
the table, some signs that you have been doing some work of your own whilst 
waiting for a response to the earlier post.

Something like ...

I've read the manual, chapter X, section Y and haven't found an answer to my 
problem; 

OR: 

I've googled for "abc xyz" and haven't found anything useful.

OR:

I've tried "this", "that" and "other" and I still couldn't get it to work, 
because I was expecting "something" and got "something else" instead. 

... would hopefully convince people that you really did try to solve the 
problem on your own and only used the list as a last resort and wasn't just 
sitting on your backside, twiddling your thumbs and waiting for someone to do 
your work for you.

Re: [PHP] odd, sporatic upload problem ...

Hi,

The most likely reason that one guy can't upload when everyone else can 
is because he is behind a proxy that limits the size of post data.

It should be obvious why this will not work. And, why should this be an
issue? You are free to participate and choose what discussions you want
to be a part of (unless your delete key is broken) as well as discuss
whatever topics you want (OT), advanced, intermediate, or beginner.

SO what's your real point? Are you annoyed by questions that you think
are beneath you or what?

WTF? isnt this the second time today this has appeared on the list?

Dude, other than the people in the UK nobody cares about
UK bank holidays...search google for this query and maybe someone from
there has written something for it..or read the manual a couple of times and
you'll see that the bottom question is a real dumb one.
Ryan:  Well, that's not a very nice way to treat someone on the list, 
even if it was the second time you'd seen the question in the same day 
or even if it was a question that is obviously in the manual.  Some 
people are just at different proficiencies in their learning process and 
don't yet know to go to the manual for certain questions.  If we treated 
every newbie like this, then we wouldn't have people coding in PHP!

Shaun: Consequently, the question was a valid one that the manual could 
not answer, and the short answer is, "no."  PHP does not have an 
intrensic way of telling on what dates UK banking holidays fall (mainly 
because not everyone coding PHP lives in the UK).  You will need to 
write your own function for this.  The easiest way would be to just look 
at a calendar for several years in advance and just plug all the dates 
into an array and test the array to see if today's day is in there.  If 
it is, then today is a banking holiday.

Hope that helps.

Hi _uncle_ Ben,
I have nothing against newbies or newbie questions even though I may read
questions like which is the
best shopping cart, best PHP IDE etc 3+ times in a month, or why
register_globals are better off or why
"this code does not work" when its just a semicolon missing...although I
must say the most frequient seems
to be then ones where people write to the list without even trying to do a
single word search on google.
I too was a newbie and compared to some
guys on the list I still most certainly am. But when you write a question
that does not get answered the first
time round...then retry a bit later is just downright irritating. If the guy
wrote some code a bit later on to do
his "holiday thing" and hit a wall...I and a crapload of people here will b

Wowee..Now isnt this a nice response with people taking sides and
everything. :-)
Shaun,

I didnt say they didnt care about you in the UK, or any particular place,
I'm not in the
states (or from there) but from Sweden, read the below part and tell me how
it sounds:

"Hi, anybody know how php calculates Swedish postal holidays?"

The above will get me a couple of replies on reading smart questions or some
asking:
where the  is Sweden?
( :-p maybe..depending on the lists mood)

Now this would get me answers:
Hi,
I have searched the archives and google for a function that lists Swedish
postal holidays,
I found nothing, anybody know if anybody wrote such a function?

(a couple of hours later)

Ok, since you guys didnt answer (or I got smartass answers)
I have noted down all the holidays, put then into an array (or the DB) and
now am
doing this to calcalute it blah blah blah...but the results I am getting is
blah blah blh heres
my code..any ideas on what i am doing wrong?


If you read the above you immd know that the person who wrote the above has
searched
and is trying to solve their problem, not hopeing we will write the code for
you, correct me if
I am wrong (anybody on the list) but the list is for people who have taken
the first step/s and
then need help, there are exceptions of course, like for instance someone
says: "I forgot the
function that does this: (description here) can someone remind me please?"
or "sometime back
(insert topic here) was discussed...I need to use that solution anybody
remember what it was?
I couldnt find it in the archives" etc etc

And for the record, I didnt "single you out" the post was just

True, When I started learning PHP one of the guys who answered most of the
questions
for me and a lot of people was Capt John Holmes, now that dude knows a
load of
php (I mean that as a complement). If there was an advanced list he would
probably be
in it and very unlikely that he would also be in the "newbie" list to help
which would have
made my learning curve that much harder. Some other guys who are really
helpful and
advanced are Jason, Chris, Chris, David to name a few..take all of them out
and put them
in the advanced list...and the newbies, not-so-newbies etc will follow just
coz we have no
choice when we run into problems. If only newbies and average knowledge
dudes are in
the "not advance list" it wont work coz the blind leading the blind does not
work.

[PHP] Scripts for customer - service provider web available?

[Denis L. Menezes]

Hello friends.

I am in a hurry to make a website where suppliers can advertise their
products and services and customers can place their requirements so the
requirements can be matched with the service providers.
Also vistors should be able to seek suppliers and customers.

Can anyone tell me where I could find a ready made scripts program that does
the above?

Thanks

[PHP] PHP and Apache Using up all memory

[Juan E Suris]

Hi!

I have a problem with PHP and Apache, where Apache uses up a huge amount of memory. 
What happens is that I have a PHP script that creates a file on the fly and sends it 
directly to the broswer (as an attachment, so that the user can save it). The problem 
is that when the file is big and the client download speed is slow, the Apache process 
uses up as much memory as the file size. My guess here is that PHP keeps writing data 
as fast as it can, and Apache caches it in memory until the user can download it all.

Is there any way to avoid this?

My apologies if this is an obvious question.

Thanks,
Juan

[PHP] Changing Default Charset

[Junaid Saeed Uppal]

Hello There,

I am on a shared account server ( virtual hosting ) given by my provider. I
want to change my charset that php uses to utf-8 but the default setting is
some other charset. Can I put some local directives in the directory of my
proggie to force php to use charset( UTF-8 ) instead of the regular charset
defined in php.ini

Hrm... why the switch() statement?  I can see the need for validating
user-submitted data, but to make it a little more flexible, maybe
something like this:

   

To add more valid actions, you can just extend the array of valid
actions, rather than adding clauses to the switch statement.

[PHP] extra breaks in sent out emails

[Scott Taylor]

I am entering some text into a webpage, then using $_POST on the next 
page to recieve it.  It then should email the $_POST to an email 
address.  The problem that I am encountering is that I am getting an 
extra line break on every line.

If I enter

a
b
into the textarea (which is the variable through POST) and do a 
character count it only shows 3 - the a, the \n, the b.  Yet in the 
email address it comes out as:

a

b

Why is this?

BTW: I am on a windows computer but the server is a unix server.

Best Regards,

Scott

Could you post the code you're using to write your $_POST variable to 
the e-mail message?  I seem to remember coming across a problem like 
this in the past, and I'd like to see your code to see if it jogs my memory.

Thanks.

BTW, it shouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you're entering 
the data into a form from a Windows computer and processing it with a 
script on a UNIX machine.

[PHP] domain.org/?page=pageName method

[Barýþ]

A general thing to do while coding a site is to
include header.php at the top of the file (and
footer.php at the end of file). Another method is to
put these header and footer files together in
index.php and including the desired page between them.
We get the desired page from the query string:
domain.org/?page=pageName
$page = $_GET['pagename'];
include $page.'.php';
Is there any important difference between these two
methods? What can you say about the advanteges or
disadvanteges of one to the other?
Assume that including undesired pages is prohibited. I
mean don't write about page=../../secretpage

Thanks...

[PHP] Mail fifth parameter

[Enrico Comini]

 I have to send a email to a server where is very important the
"Return-Path" to match the identity.

If I use mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "object", $message,"From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
"Reply-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
."Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]);

I see in the received message that return-path Is not that I want.

I try to use the fifth parameter ( "[EMAIL PROTECTED])  but I am in
safe mode then I see the warning : the fifth parameter is disabled in safe
mode.
There is a workaround for this problem ? safe_mode = on is impossible for
this server !

You need to connect to smtp server (port 25) and send the mail this way. 
There are classes that will help you, e.g. smtp_mail class from

Re: [PHP] Let's start a php-advanced list!

[Galen]

Hello All,

You do make some excellent points. Maybe an advanced list isn't the 
greatest idea. But at least listen to what I had envisioned:

My goal was to provide an area that fosters stretching PHP. Big 
projects, unusual projects, weird hacks... all kinds of advanced stuff. 
I have thought that providing an "advanced" area might make people more 
likely to post stuff like "Look at this..." and provide some intriguing 
discussion and such. Not that it's impossible with php-general, but 
reading 150 posts (or at least the subject) makes it easy for that type 
of thing to get lost.

Obviously, the community doesn't think this is a good idea, and I do 
see validity in many of your points, so I'll drop this topic unless 
someone else wants to pursue it.

Re: [PHP] Let's start a php-advanced list!

[Marc Greenstock]

Interesting topic,

However I don't necessarily agree that newbie's wont get their question 
answered.

There are a lot of helpfully people out there, a lot of them are 
advanced in their programing but find the satisfaction of helping, or 
mentoring someone into advanced programming who is less advanced. I know 
that when i started I posted messages at phpbuilder in the newbie area. 
I found more often than not I would get a response from someone who 
cared, and would treat a newbie for what he or she is rather than a just 
a plain old idiot.

My point is; yes advanced users would be separated from beginners, but 
most of the questions asked in the beginners list would be answered by 
advanced programmers looking for a bit of 'fuzzy wazzies' :)

Two thumbs up for the idea.

[PHP] imagecreatejpeg locks php

[kringla]

First, some ranting about safe_mode.

Results from ini_get with safe_mode=On
[memory_limit] => Array
(
 [global_value] => 8M
 [local_value] => 8M
 [access] => 7
)
And the manual says:
PHP_INI_ALL - 7 - Entry can be set anywhere
So I figure I have access to change memory_limit?

But when I do that with ini_set("memory_limit", "32M") the memory change 
is ignored. I still have just 8M to play with. If i turn of safe mode, I 
am able to change the memory limit. Please tell me if this is correct 
behaviour or not.

My problem is that i uploaded an image, and when I try 
imagecreatefromjpeg, php dies with a warning about runing out of memory. 
I then turn off safe mode, restart apache which takes very long time, 
hit imagecreatefromjpg; and it then works. But not with 8M in safe_mode.

Is there any method in Linux to monitor the resource usage of 
php+apache. Yes, I have checked with top, ps, procmeter3 and free, but 
all seems fine and dandy. Absolutely normal. So is there some kind of 
'php internal memory usage' measure i can do?

I would like to be able to resize big images without any hangs in php 
after call to imagecreatefromjpeg(...). Is functions in php supposed to 
'stop and hang' the parsing of php-files until apache is restarted when 
they exceed their memory boundaries. I don't think so. Looks to me like 
gd have to do some asertions or something.

So I took some time and make all function calls call-by-reference and 
removed all stupid stuff like $image = adslashes($source_image); that 
allocated new variables (yes,  i still call addslashes...) to lower the 
memory usage. Maybe it did, but I still am unable to resize images 
bigger than 200 kb.

do something like this:

function output($action){
  $output = ''; //if no file we return an empty string
  $fname = 'data/'.$action.'.txt';
  if(file_exists($fname){
$file = file($fname);
foreach($file as $value ) {
  $output .= "$value";
}
  }
  return $output;
}
if(isset($_REQUEST['action'])){
  $out = output($_REQUEST['action']);
}

Hrm... why the switch() statement?  I can see the need for validating
user-submitted data, but to make it a little more flexible, maybe
something like this:

   

To add more valid actions, you can just extend the array of valid
actions, rather than adding clauses to the switch statement.

[PHP] Need Help in shoppin cart

[New Session]

Sir,
I am a web developer, I had made many sites like shooping cart, mangement
leads etc.
 Iam comfortable in PHP as well as in ASP & iam ready to make sites in just
$500.Sites made by me are running successfully and doing great job .I can
make site having following facilities.

 Admin Panel:

 Nice & easy Admin Panel able to make Superuser or subusers.
 Able to log the subusers activites.
 Order management.
 Newsletter management.
 Products management.
 Categories management
 Auto mail generation in case of stock out of order.
 Shipping management.
 Multiples photos for each products.
 CMT management(To dynamically add page later on, or for dynamic contents).
 Bulk Upload(CSV).
 FedEx, Freight, or UPS Shipping
 Sales Tax Integration.
 etc as per client request.

 Front End:

 Nice user friendly Front end with search facility .
 Secure Socket Layer enabled.
 Online linkpoint integration(Credit Card processing).
 Authorization  enabled.
 Drop Down Floating dynamic menus
 Ability to register for fast checkout processing.
 Subscribe for newsletter.
 Product Purchase & Total Shopping cost on every page.
 Ability to track order status
 Auto mail generation on change in order status.
 etc as per client request.

Below are the description of the applications I had made:-

1. The site selling vehicles. It would involve a comprehensive zip search on
dealers within the locality from which a visitor submits   a request. The
concerned dealers would get the request on their corresponding  dash boards
to pursue the leads.The site has a simple backend for adding / modifying /
deleting vehicle categories and descriptions.

2.  The site can help you fulfill your goal of buying or selling your dream
property.

3.  The site is integrated with our online content management tool, thereby
giving the site owner complete control over the content  management.

4.  Site features SSL eCommerce and an interactive JavaScript quote form.

5.  The site has a front end of one page and further access is only
available to their retailers. It consists of a very complex admin panel in
the backend which is capable of Creating accounts for new retailers and fix
a profit % for each retailer. which would  mean that when a retailer logs in
he'd see a price list with the profit % added to the base price. This list
would appear different to  each retailer, as pertaining to his
profile.Administrator can set a different product list for different
retailers. This means that a retailer interested in a particular category/s
of product would only see that category/s and not others. This facilitates
quick order  placement.Administrator has a facility of being notified by
email after each order placement. He can also have generated, various
summary and detailed reports.

6.  The site offers it's wholesale dealers a facility to register with it
and place orders. There is a full fledged backend administration panel
associated with the site, for managing the orders.

7.  The site is a totally back-end driven site. The site admin can create
new links and pages on the fly and populate them from the DB. The admin
panel features an DB import and export tool which is useful to import-export
a large huge amount of data at one go.

8.  The site administrator can send regular preformtted HTML news letters to
the registered clients through the site. The news letters can be fully
customized through a web admin panel.

9.  An online store for great educational products for children. The site
offers a complete online shopping cart capable of accepting payments online.

10.  A shopping cart of artwork. It provides an easy way for art-dealers to
contact various customers.
The site contains variety of categories under which the artworks are
displayed. All payments are via SSL under Linkpoint.


Thanks

Re: [PHP] PHP and Apache Using up all memory

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi Juan,

What you can do is to switch off output buffering. If it is a really 
large file you might want to generate the file offline and deliver it 
using the more conventional hyperlink.

all the best

Juan E Suris wrote:

Hi!

I have a problem with PHP and Apache, where Apache uses up a huge amount of memory. What happens is that I have a PHP script that creates a file on the fly and sends it directly to the broswer (as an attachment, so that the user can save it). The problem is that when the file is big and the client download speed is slow, the Apache process uses up as much memory as the file size. My guess here is that PHP keeps writing data as fast as it can, and Apache caches it in memory until the user can download it all.

Is there any way to avoid this?

My apologies if this is an obvious question.

Thanks,
Juan

Re: [PHP] domain.org/?page=pageName method

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi,
I think this is largely a matter of personal opinion. However even 
though you have taken every precaution against illegal content there is 
always a chance of someone getting throughwtih the

domain.org/?page=pageName approach. So perhaps it's a little bit more risky.

A general thing to do while coding a site is to
include header.php at the top of the file (and
footer.php at the end of file). Another method is to
put these header and footer files together in
index.php and including the desired page between them.
We get the desired page from the query string:
domain.org/?page=pageName
$page = $_GET['pagename'];
include $page.'.php';
Is there any important difference between these two
methods? What can you say about the advanteges or
disadvanteges of one to the other?
Assume that including undesired pages is prohibited. I
mean don't write about page=../../secretpage

Re: [PHP] Mail fifth parameter

[Raditha Dissanayake]

It's an often overlooked fact that you can pass additional headers in 
the fourth parameter. I do belive you should use \n and not \r\n
then your code will look like

mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "object", $message,
"From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ".
"Reply-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
"Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]);

If I use mail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "object", $message,"From:

."Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
I see in the received message that return-path Is not that I want.

I try to use the fifth parameter ( "[EMAIL PROTECTED])  but I am in
safe mode then I see the warning : the fifth parameter is disabled in safe
mode.
There is a workaround for this problem ? safe_mode = on is impossible for
this server !

As mentioned in another post, the Return-Path header can and usually is
overwritten by sendmail when it does the actual sending.  

In addition to a previous suggestion, one way to reliably set that
header is to use phpmailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) which has
the option of using an smtp server rather than sendmail directly.

Re: [PHP] PHP and Apache Using up all memory

[Juan E Suris]

Right now I am genereating the file offline and using a hyperlink, but that
creates double the disk I/O. It reads some files (which the big file is
based on), writes the big file, and reads the big file (to deliver it when
the user clicks the hyperlink). If I could just create the file and deliver
it as I create it, I would save the write/read to/from disk of the big file.

Output buffering is off in php.ini:
output_buffering = Off

So that does not seem to be it. Maybe the problem should be address on
Apache instead of PHP?
Thanks,
Juan
