Hello

I understand you are planning to display a PDF file inside a browser, yes?

I believe it would be a security major risk if a server side script was 
able to list available applications on the client side. This may be 
possible with M$-script technology, but I would be very worried if it was 
possible with PHP. Please correct me if I talk nonsense...

Maybe a link to Adobe's Acrobat Reader download page is your best bet.

you've got many interesting options with this function.

Re: [PHP] Efficieny: Include vs Array vs Function

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi,

On a busy site (where the milliseconds start to matter) the chances
are that the operating system has your include files cached so the
load time is probably not a factor. If you install some of the php
token caching systems (zend and others) the speed is even better.

Gentlemen I do believe I have been misunderstood. What I meant was that 
there are ways in which you can save pounds perhaps by the bucketfull 
with possibly much less effort. For example I recently ran into a $1000 
software where the most commonly used query was running against a table 
that had a non-numeric primary key. This same key was being used in 
multiple joins. Surely that can be optimized to get a huge gain in 
performance?


As to using header and footer includes I found that system really
frustrating trying to follow the html. What I have switched to is
templates where the site layout is a template and each php page
generates the content and passes it one include file that does the
final mix. this way my html developer has control over the html and
can edit it as one file most of the time.
Processing templates also consumes  a bit of extra clock cycles.

No plans from us, no.  Running a certification program is a lot of work 
and I would prefer to see developers develop, not try to manage a 
certification program.

As for the www.expertrating.com thing?  Never heard of it.  If a resume 
crossed my desk with a reference to something like that on it I would 
probably chuckle and think the person got bilked out of the $9.95 it 
apparently costs.  It may of course be very good, I have no idea, I just 
don't hold certification programs in very high regard in general.

Basically it all comes down to how good you can actually prove yourself in

Unless they are internationally and industry recognised like the
Novell, Cisco, Oracle or Microsoft certificates it's probably not
worth the money (if any?) involved in obtaining it. You would be
better off spending your time working on a solid portfolio that
showcases both sites AND code that you've written. If you already have
those then I don't see how that expertrating thing can hurt, but don't
bank on it holding too much sway.

It's not a reg exp, but it will work:

if (is_numeric($val) == FALSE || strlen($val) <> 8 || substr($val, 0,
3) !== "100")
{
// $val doesn't match
}

Conversely:

if (is_numeric($val) == TRUE && strlen($val) == 8 && substr($val, 0,
3) == "100")
{
// $val does match
}

(Code not tested, but you get the idea I hope)

I took 10 minutes yesterday and checked out one of their free tests on
computer literacy or something like that.  The questions were poorly
worded, rife with misspellings, and had illogical choices.  Some choice
snippets:

  "This exam is best viewed using Internet Explorere 5.0 or above"
  
  Q1:  "You have a mouse attached to your computer which suddenly stops
working. You quickly replace the mouse with another one which has
been manufactured by a different company. Will it work?"

(my options are "yes" and "no".  "there is no way to make an
 accurate guess" is not an option)

  Q27: "If you are looking for information about a certain subject on
the Internet, what is the quickest way to get started?"

  Q?:  "Where is the Calculator located in the Windows Program menu?"

(my options were 4 different Windows menu paths)

You can be the judge based on that, I suppose.  If their PHP "exam" is
anything like this one, though, the final certification will mean
nothing except that you gave them $10.

True...the only good thing is they are going after the dolts for only 10$,
with new users
coming on the net everyday they are trying their luck. I've seen a couple of
sites like this
top--sites being one...NO1 bastards& spammers as I wrote and told them,
there was also a
site "selling" the installation of OSCommerce for $450 !!

Cant really blame these guys for trying , but I doubt they will get many
people as a person who
goes for their "PHP exam" would know programming and computers...which will
tell them pretty
soon this is a scam.

Hey everyone,
Been looking for a catalog cart system to sell purses online for a client
that is either cheap or free and plugs into
2checkout for payment processing.
Saw a few good ones via google,hotscrips etc that go via mals-e and others
before coming to zenCart (zen-cart.com)
its free, quite a few features, and (according to the site) easy to
customize the design...

Anybody have any idea if its any good? pros? cons? recomendations?

[PHP] Changes in php.ini have no effect

[Harry Sufehmi]

(sorry if this post is a double for you, but I didn't get it and it doesn't exist in 
the archive - so I assume it was never posted before)

The following is a question that seems obvious, but somehow manages to elude me until 
today ...  :-}  hopefully someone here could point out my stupidity in this case.

Problem:
Changes made in c:\winnt\php.ini doesn't have any effect even after restarting Apache.

Steps tried:
# looking for other copies of php.ini - none found
# entering the related values in Apache's httpd.conf file instead - works for some 
values, but not for others.
# entering the related values in Apache's .htaccess file - doesn't work at all

PHP version: 4.3.3
phpinfo() output - http://www.harrysufehmi.com/inf.php

If you at the output of phpinfo(), it stated that the configurations were read from 
c:\winnt\php.ini - but it got several different config, such as:

# php is installed at c:\php\php-4.3.3\ --- not c:\php4
# extension_dir is set to c:\php\php-4.3.3\extensions\ in php.ini --- but phpinfo() 
says different things
# php_gd2.dll is enabled, but not according to phpinfo()

Any pointer will be very much appreciated.

[PHP] db design path based

[Age Bosma]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a new db for a website and I've got an idea on how 
it should work but I can't seem to figure out what the best way would be 
if it comes to the design of the tables in the db.
Maybe I'm just looking at the the wrong way...

I would like to make the website completely db driven but path based.
TO get rid of the ugly uri's like 
index.php?pad=blaat&naar=sjips&bestand=opti I would like to use 
mod_rewrite so the same page can be accessed using 
www.domain.nl/blaat/sjips/opti. This part isn't realy a problem.

The problem is how should this be implemented in the db?
In the db the different levels have to be known so "sjips" is a 
subcategory of "blaat" and "opti" is a subcategory of "sjips" agian.
In the db the name of each category and page has to be stored.
This has the be easily extendable because at first there might not be a 
subcategory of a subcategory. Imo there shouldn't be a different column 
or table for each category to list it's subs, am I right?
What I could be is created a table with e.g. 3 columns, one containing 
an unique id for each category and page, one containing each unique name 
of that category of page and one column containing the id of its parent.
I'm not sure if this would be a good thing to do from a coding point of 
view because you have to contact the db multiple times to get all the 
information about on specific category or page, wouldn't you?

It look like a simple concept imo but it might be the lack of sleep not 
getting me think strait anymore...
Am I overlooking something?
Am I creating problems which aren't there?

Cheers,

Age

[PHP] Re: [PHP-WIN] help with _PHP_SELF and changing a paramter in URL...

[Firman Wandayandi]

Hi Leo,

Actually I do this with preg_replace().

A code might like this:

--- begin code ---

// if url taken from browser url address
$querystring = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$newurl = preg_replace('/(var1)=([0-9].*)&(.*)$/', '\1=20&\3',
$querystring );

// if url taken from string
$url = http://www.foo.com/test.php?var1=20&var2=10
list(, $querystring) = explode('?', $url);
$newurl = preg_replace('/(var1)=([0-9].*)&(.*)$/', '\1=20&\3',
$querystring );

--- end code ---

Good Luck,
Firman

Unless you want to allow something like '10064893A' to match, use:

I missed this part, so here's my take with the solution I provided (I'm

foreach ($name_array as $person) {
$lastname_element = count($person) - 1; //index of last element
echo "" . $person[$lastname_element] . ", ";
echo $person[0] . "\n"; //zero (0) is the first name
}

It doesn't reverse the name (as required), which although you could
say "give me element 1 of each array to get the lastname", this doesn't
work with names such as "firstname middlename lastname" (like the OP
requested) :) because now the lastname is in element 2 so you'll have
to do some extra checking malarky to get it.

I'm assuming this is in a MySQL table.  Is that correct?  This is
probably something that will better be answered on a MySQL list.

Assuming that it is MySQL, how are you deciding which month an item is
in?  What if it starts in March and ends in April?  Should it be
considered to be in March or April?

MySQL's COUNT[1], GROUP BY[2], and DATE_FORMAT[3] will be helpful to you.
Something like:

  SELECT COUNT(*) AS num, DATE_FORMAT(end_date, "%Y-%m") AS yearmonth
FROM yourtable 
GROUP BY yearmonth 
ORDER BY num;

might work[4].

[1] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GROUP-BY-Functions.html#IDX1452
[2] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SELECT.html
[3] http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Date_and_time_functions.html#IDX1341
[4] This query assumes that end_date is sufficient to determine which
month something is "in".  Also, it relies on some potentially
MySQL-specific syntax.

have you considered the size of your includes? maybe cutting the size
down by splitting them into more concise files would help? in this way
you could more precisely include what you needed and leave the rest out.

Sometimes having less included files with more content is more efficient
than having a lot of small files, an example would be making a seperate
include for each function, this has its advantages especially in smarty's
case but can be inefficient because you must fetch each file from disk which
has overhead.

I'd suggest profiling your code, use the PEAR Benchmark class and use PHP's
memory usage functions to determine what parts of your code are consuming
the most resources and taking the longest amount of time to execute, then
try some experiments and profile each experiment to determine the most
efficient solution.

Different versions of PHP, different application frameworks, and
applications in general will respond to optimization techniques differently,
for example there is little sense in spending 40 hours optimizing variable
usage in a program to increase performance when 75% of the program is
database server bound, your time would be better spent optimizing the SQL.

In my commericial websites I have modified my application framework not to
connect to the database, start output buffering, start the session and do
other overhead if specific constants are declared.  For example if I have
contact.php that does some mailing stuff and requires Smarty I can define
TEMPLATE_ONLY and only templating related files will be included and
initialized.

Doing this optmization made pages roughly 50% faster that did not require
session or a database connection and also reduces the load on the sql server
because you are not connecting unless you actually need the connection and
still benefit from having a single connection call instead of connecting in
each function or file.

[PHP] Array to String conversion error

[Alex Hogan]

Hi All,

 

I have a function that gets a single field from a mssql db. That field
contains data that is then parsed out to represent a survey's results.

 

The function;

function quesresults(){

$query = "SELECT sur_ans

   FROM au_survey";

$result = MSSQL_QUERY($query) or die("Can not execute query
$query. ");

$row = mssql_fetch_array($result);

$thearray = explode('__', $row); - This is line 40

$i = 1;

foreach($thearray as $topelement){

foreach(explode('--', $topelement) as $element){

echo $element;

echo "";

}

echo "question $i"; 

echo "";

$i++;

}

}

 

When I call the function I get;

Notice: Array to string conversion in \WWW\mypath\srvyclass.inc.php on line
40
Array
question 1

 

What am I missing?

$test = new test();

$test->Load($_Get['id']);

$_SESSION['save'] = $test;

?>

 

In my second page I want to retrieve my object



 

Require 'test.inc.php';

Session_start();

echo get_class($_SESSION['test']);

?>

 

When I do get_class($_SESSION['test']); I got the message
"__PHP_Incomplete_Class" instead of "test"
 

Can you explain me where I can have made an error.

 

What's going on here is that you haven't redefined your class for PHP in 
the second page. When PHP saves your object, it saves only its data, not 
its functions and such. Are you sure you're defining your object 
correctly? Have you tried instantiating a test() object in the second page?

$row is an entire array. you don't explode an entire array, you only
explode the contents of an element of an array.

print_r($row) will give you some clues.

you'll need to access a specific element within the array. like:

$thearray = explode('__', $row[0][0]);

unless i'm wrong, the above.

[PHP] array $_POST problem

[Joey Kelly]

Hello,

I have a SuSE 9.0 Linux server running PHP and Apache2 (my phpinfo() data is 
at http://redfishnetworks.com/~jkelly/test.php), and my problem is this:

I've got a sticky problem that I need to solve. I've just turned on 
register_globals in my PHP php.ini file, and therefore have to run my form 
variables through $_POST:

$variable = $_POST[$variable];
echo $variable;

The problem I'm having is that the script Im trying to refactor worked great 
before I turned register_globals off. The script posts an array, and I can't 
seem to figure out how to $_POST the array.

Here is the script with register_globals OFF (this is on my old server, by the 
way, running SuSE 7.3), as you can see the script works fine with 
register_globals off:
http://joeykelly.net/materials.php

Here is the script with register_globals ON:
http://redfishnetworks.com/~jkelly/materials.php
Notice the huge nested array at the bottom when you click [SUBMIT]? That's my 
trouble.

In both cases, changing the extension from .php to .phps shows you the source 
code. As you can see, above the form I've tried several attempts to access 
the data, all of which seem to fail.

My question: What am I doing wrong? I suspect that I'm having trouble with 
nested arrays, etc.. The thing that bothers me is that the data is available 
(see the array printout at the bottom?).

If I can't make this work, I'm going to have to resort to munging a bunch of 
scalars ($quantity1, $quantity2, etc.), which to me is an awful kludge that 
I'd rather not sign my name to.

Thanks for any help.

If you don't know in what way PHP sends the POST data, then the best
solution is simply to view it:

";
  print_r($_POST);
  echo "";
?>

(Or you can var_dump the whole thing)

By looking at the structure like this you'll soon see how to access
the values inside of it rather than second-guessing all the time.

It seems like the array is posted just fine.

How is it failing?  Looking at the source, you are definitely on the right
track.

Upon post, you need to get materials as such:

$materials = &$_POST['materials'];

to list out the quantity, you can do any the following:

foreach( $materials['quantity'] as $quantity ) {
  echo $quantity . '';
}
foreach( $materials['description'] as $description ) {
  echo $description . '';
}

for( $i = 0; $i < 5; $i++ ) {
  echo $materials['description'][$i] . '::' . $materials['quantity'][$i] .
'';
}

Personally, I'd rename your form elements to:

$materials[$item][quantity]
$materials[$item][price]
$materials[$item][description]

No, it actually states:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path  C:\WINNT

which means that it's looking in C:\WINNT for your php.ini file, but hasn't
found one -- if it found a php.ini there, that line would have read:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path  C:\WINNT\php.ini

As you're on Windows, my guess is that the old hidden extension trick is in
play and you've actually got a file called something like php.ini.txt -- try
turning off the Windows option that hides recognised extensions, and taking
another look.

Cheers!

function that does the inverse? i mean, if you have /var/www/html/script and
applies function unmappath, it returns /script and if apply mappath to
/script it returns /var/www/html/script. somebody has something like this?

Good one but I just checked (from command prompt) and indeed php.ini is there (not 
php.ini.txt), double-checked as well just to make sure.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

I didn't post the original message; I was responding to Tommi, who asked
about calculating the "count of date per month".

Your method will have all rows returned to PHP, and require PHP to count
the rows afterward.  If you would do this:

  SELECT COUNT(whatever) FROM table WHERE MONTH(your_date) = '03';

then your result set will only have one row (the number of matching
rows), and you don't need to do any additional counting work.

However, all of that is for the OP, not for me, so I'm CCing the list
back in.

[PHP] local (config) value not overriding master

[Fredrik de Vibe]

Hi

On the system I'm working on atm, php is set up with a non-modifiable
php.ini, but I can make php config changes in httpd.conf. The changes
I make are reflected in the "local value" row in the output from
phpinfo() while the values from php.ini are in the "master value" row.

This seemed to be working fine until I tried to override the
disable_functions value. The master value has ini_set disabled, I have
removed it from the local value's disabled_functions (phpinfo() agrees
on this), but I still can't use ini_set (it is still disabled).

I might be missing something important here (probably am), but I can't
see why (tried googling and going through the docs, but I couldn't see
any reference to this). Can anybody shed some light here?

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] PHP Sessions - One Server, Many Terminals

[Damon Abilock]

I'm having a problem related to PHP sessions in a school computer lab
environment.  I have a script that uses sessions to keep track of a user and
their work on the system.  It is being used by a school in a computer lab in
which the students just have terminals -- they all access the same server
computer to run programs and do not have hard drives of their own.  They are
running software called "ClassLink" (see www.classlink2000.com) in this lab
(I'm not sure if that is really an important detail or not).

The problem is that everyone that students accessing the script on these
different terminals start seeing eachother's work, which implies that the
session information is not unique to each terminal (I expect that if I
printed out the session ID on all of these different terminals, they would
all be the same).

Is there anything that I can do about this?  How do I get my script to
recognize that it is being accessed by different terminals, even though it
is really only one physical computer (the server that all of these terminals
have a view into)?  Is there any other solution?

Cheers,
Damon

On the machine running the client (web browser) or the machine running the

On the client, no.  At least, I hope not.
On the server... ?  Maybe.  Maybe if you ran a login script that wrote the
username to a file that PHP read.  I can't really think of a clean way of
doing it.

Seen some interesting ways on doing this on the client. Basicly you run
a bash script ( on autostart for example ) and pass the login-info which
are saved in the enviroment to the server to make sure the user is known
by the server as well.
Another way could be to check wether the REMOTE_ADDR has authentificated
to the samba-server within a spec. timespan.

Why are so many people telling this poor person to escape their quotes? 
That WILL NOT WORK in HTML. The correct way to do this is to use 
htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities(). In fact, this should always be 
done on dynamic values in an input or any other HTML data that should be 
displayed literally, such as for within textareas.

[PHP] Re: PHP Sessions - One Server, Many Terminals

[memoimyself]

Damon,

Sessions have to do with requests being sent by browsers to the web server. Each time 
you close all the windows of your browser on your computer and start the browser 
again, a new session is started. I suspect that since all your users are essentially 
using 
the same web browser (since their monitors and keyboards are not really separate 
computers, but peripherals on the same machine), a browser window open on one 
terminal is keeping alive a session started by another user on another terminal when 
she or he first started the browser. Does that make sense? Anyway, if that's your 
case, 
then I don't believe there's anything that can be done.

1st with the array $_FILE
2nd with $HTTP_POST_FILES
i've used the 1st, but my program give many erros, and when using the 
2nd, everything was fine.

the 1st is avaiable from PHP 4.1.0, and im using PHP 4.3.4.
Can someone tell me why does not work ???

Re: [PHP] Efficieny: Include vs Array vs Function

[Rob Paxon]

Jason Sheets wrote:
Sometimes having less included files with more content is more efficient
than having a lot of small files [...]
I'd think in my case, this is true.  Generally, nothing is in these main 
include files that aren't needed by every page.

I'd suggest profiling your code, use the PEAR Benchmark class and use PHP's
memory usage functions to determine what parts of your code are consuming
the most resources and taking the longest amount of time to execute, then
try some experiments and profile each experiment to determine the most
efficient solution.
Profiling is something I've been doing a lot of in the past week or so, 
via various debuggers.  I wasn't aware of a PEAR Benchmarking class, 
I'll have to check it out.

In my commericial websites I have modified my application framework not to
connect to the database, start output buffering, start the session and do
other overhead if specific constants are declared.  For example if I have
contact.php that does some mailing stuff and requires Smarty I can define
TEMPLATE_ONLY and only templating related files will be included and
initialized.
Doing this optmization made pages roughly 50% faster that did not require
session or a database connection and also reduces the load on the sql server
because you are not connecting unless you actually need the connection and
still benefit from having a single connection call instead of connecting in
each function or file.
I have done similar things.  For instance, sessions are only useful to 
me for people who are actually logged in, so I recently dumped my custom 
PHP sessions handler and made my own session system.  It takes a lot 
less code than my handler and only connects to the database if the user 
sends over a session id.  The database connection is then closed if the 
proceeding script doesn't need it or it is opened later if needed, in 
the case of no session.  It creates a session only through the log-in 
script.  This way, sessions are only created and read for those who 
choose to log in, which is obviously far, far less than %50 of visitors. 
 In the end, it works out to the database only being opened when needed 
and I've found this to make dramatic difference, even on my sorry old 
local enviroment.

I'm glad to see this topic got so many different responses.

Thanks fellas

[PHP] session problem (i think)

[Nick Rout]

I am running Apache/2.0.48 (Gentoo/Linux) mod_ssl/2.0.48 OpenSSL/0.9.6k PHP/4.3.4

I have a drupal site set up, http://rout.dyndns.org/cagc

Since some time on Sunday i have had the following error appear at the
bottom of the page:

Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini 
settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0

I then cannot login to the site. Some of the site functionality is there
(ie you can view the basic pages etc, but anything that needs a login to
acheive is no good)

When I search google I seem to find that this is a php error, although I
cannot see a fix anywhere.

Can anyone tell me where to look in order to sort this out. I am a php
newbie, so if there is any other info I need to provide please let me
know.

The problem with this is that PHP is server-side, so the following is sent
to the browser:



Thus, the same problem exists on the client-side, because the output is
identical.

To reiterate what others have stated, escaping quotes is good for PHP, and
HTML entities are good for HTML.

[PHP] creating a mailbot in php

[Leonard B Burton]

Greetings,

I have been trying to come up with a script in PHP to take an email and do a little 
parsing and upload the data into a mysql database.  However I have had a couple of 
glitches.

Would someone be so nice to send me the code to just get it to do something (like 
update a counter or anything) simple that I will be able to tell if the email is 
getting  to the script or not?

My host has an option that allows you to easily make an alias [by way of an html form] 
that will send emails to certain files and I can not tell if it is not working or if 
my script is not working.  I have tried to read around and could not figure it out.  I 
wish I could RTFM but I cant find one.  The few pages I found on the net do not give a 
good enough explaination.  Thanks,
