[PHP] [Newbie Guide] For the benefit of new members

[Ma Siva Kumar]

===
This message is for the benefit of new 
subscribers and those new to PHP.  Please 
feel free to add more points and send to the 
list.
===
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP 
try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You 
can download a copy and use it offline also. 

Please also try 
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php 
for answers to frequently answered questions 
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).

2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching 
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant 
information within the first 10 results.

3. There is a searchable archive of the 
mailing list discussion at 
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the 
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and 
you may get answer to your query from the 
earlier discussions. 

For example: One of the repeatedly discussed 
question in the list is "Best PHP editor". 
Everyone has his/her favourite editor. 
You can get all the opinions by going through 
the list archives. If you want a chosen list 
try this link : 
http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/ 
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).

4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want 
find out what extensions are available to 
you?

Just put the following code into a file with 
a .php extension and access it through your 
webserver:

 

If PHP is installed you will see a page with 
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not 
installed (or not working correctly) your 
browser will try to download the file.

(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W 
Parker)

5. If you are stuck with a script and do not 
understand what is wrong, instead of posting 
the whole script, try doing some research 
yourself. One useful trick is to print 
the variable/sql query using print or echo 
command and check whether you get what you 
expected. 

After diagnosing the problem, send the 
details of your efforts (following steps 1, 
2 & 3) and ask for help.

6. PHP is a server side scripting language. 
Whatever processing PHP does takes place 
BEFORE the output reaches the client. 
Therefore, it is not possible to access 
users'  computer related information (OS, 
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you 
modify any the user side settings. You need 
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in 
a JavaScript list.

On the other hand, you can access the 
information that is SENT by the user's 
browser when a client requests a page from 
your server. You can find details about 
browser, OS etc as reported by 
this request. - contributed by Wouter van 
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.

7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. 
Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A 
Question" etc.  Especially avoid blank 
subjects. 

8. When you want to start a new topic, open a 
new mail composer and enter the mailing list 
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of 
replying to an existing thread and replacing 
the subject and body with your message.

9. It's always a good idea to post back to 
the list once you've solved your problem. 
People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject 
line of their email when posting solutions. 
By posting your solution you're helping the 
next person with the same question. 
[contribued by Chris W Parker]

10. Ask smart questions  
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[contributed by Jay Blanchard)

11. Do not send your email to the list with 
attachments. If you don't have a place to 
upload your code, try the many pastebin 
websites (such as www.pastebin.com).

Hope you have a good time programming with

But afaik that function is broken, and PHP isn't allowed to use that

[PHP] After calling a Function the Script aborts without any error :-\

[Ben]

Hi Folks,

i got a big problem. I have a script which includes some other script i
tried include, require and require once. The problem is, if i do a
function call to a function in one of these included files, the script
aborts but without any error. The strange thing is, normally require
should give an error if it can't include any file. But the files are
accessible, error reporting is E_ALL. Some functions are callable but
others not and still no error. the only way how i came to this was
putting some die()s to see where 

the script is aborting.

I hope anybody can help me because i have no idea what that could be.

tia.

Ben

You can see if the function exists in you main script...

if ( function_exists ( "functionName" ) ) {
echo ( "Function Exists." );
} else {
echo ( "Function Does Not Exists." );
}
Or you can echo out something in the function you're trying to call...

function whatever() {
echo ( "" );
//  More Code
}

I don't think this is possible with just PHP.  I think you can target 
the form action to open in the new page, but the original page is going 
to stay the same without some JavaScript.

Every application is different. You can't ask a question like this. Even if
people said Yes or No, how is that going to help you?

Re: [PHP] requests per s with php and mysql queries

[William Lovaton]

I have never used any kind of stress tool in my web app.  Right now it
is in production under heavy load and some statistics are:

Authenticated users: 520 (this are the active sessions)
Dynamic requests per second: 25 Average
Max. Dynamic requests per second: 60 to 80 (these are peak values)

When I say dynamic requests I mean just PHP scripts.  Static content
(js, css, images, etc) is not registered here but it is usually 3 to 4
times dynamic requests... so, do the math. ;-)

For this app I'm using Apache 1.3, PHP 4.3 and Oracle 8.1.7

The server is an old compaq with RedHat Linux 9, 2 GB RAM and 4
proccessor with 550MHz each.

I hope it can serve you as a reference.


Regards,


-William

[PHP] Re: PHP/MySQL difficulties on WindowsXP

[Gabe]

I don't know if this is the root of your problem or not, but I tried running
PHP 4.3.5 on my Win2K box and it crashed a lot.  I found out that if you
have PHP configured to run as a SAPI module there are stability issues with
that version (this bug has been reported).  I think the CGI install should
be good though.  I reverted back to version 4.3.4 and don't have any
problems yet with the SAPI module.

Hi, all --

A client of mine wishes to create a web site which does more than just
the typical CMS functions in that what you can see not only depends on
whether or not you have an account but also how old your account is?).
Of course, I'd prefer that it is written in PHP :-)

Any recommendations?

You _can_ run both PHP 5 and PHP 4 on the same server (and even at the

I basically have a phone bill that sometimes has the phone number

When it has the "00" I want to trim it with the substring command.

You need to enclose your regex in /regex/

if ( preg_match_all ( "/^([00])?.*$/", $called, $found ) )

[PHP] htmlentities, links, javascript

[Beau Hartshorne]

hi all,

i have a script that calls a popup like this:

Choices

the & is there to make sure the page validates. the problem is that
some browsers seem to be incorrectly translating this to:

[REQUEST_URI] => /popup.php?name=Choices&product_id=15

instead of:

[REQUEST_URI] => /popup.php?name=Choices&product_id=15

a couple of browsers that have choked on this:

[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows 95)
[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/103u (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/100

i have safari 1.2.1 installed on one of my development machines, and
have had no trouble with the bad REQUEST_URIs. does anyone have some
insight into the problem?

i've posted a demonstration here:

http://hartshorne.ca/sandbox.php

you'll have to view the source of the popup to see if the & was
translated properly.

thanks,

beau

No David, I receive those messages also when I post.  Just block them in 
your mail reader.  As for your CMS question, don't know anything off 
hand that does it, but you can track timestamps in your database and 
show the "special" page for members that joined at a certain date/time 
or earlier.

This message is for the benefit of new 
subscribers and those new to PHP.  Please 
feel free to add more points and send to the 
list.
===
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP 
try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You 
can download a copy and use it offline also. 

Please also try 
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php 
for answers to frequently answered questions 
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).

2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching 
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant 
information within the first 10 results.

3. There is a searchable archive of the 
mailing list discussion at 
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the 
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and 
you may get answer to your query from the 
earlier discussions. 

For example: One of the repeatedly discussed 
question in the list is "Best PHP editor". 
Everyone has his/her favourite editor. 
You can get all the opinions by going through 
the list archives. If you want a chosen list 
try this link : 
http://phpeditors.linuxbackup.co.uk/ 
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).

4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want 
find out what extensions are available to 
you?

Just put the following code into a file with 
a .php extension and access it through your 
webserver:

 

If PHP is installed you will see a page with 
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not 
installed (or not working correctly) your 
browser will try to download the file.

(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W 
Parker)

5. If you are stuck with a script and do not 
understand what is wrong, instead of posting 
the whole script, try doing some research 
yourself. One useful trick is to print 
the variable/sql query using print or echo 
command and check whether you get what you 
expected. 

After diagnosing the problem, send the 
details of your efforts (following steps 1, 
2 & 3) and ask for help.

6. PHP is a server side scripting language. 
Whatever processing PHP does takes place 
BEFORE the output reaches the client. 
Therefore, it is not possible to access 
users'  computer related information (OS, 
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you 
modify any the user side settings. You need 
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in 
a JavaScript list.

On the other hand, you can access the 
information that is SENT by the user's 
browser when a client requests a page from 
your server. You can find details about 
browser, OS etc as reported by 
this request. - contributed by Wouter van 
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.

7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. 
Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A 
Question" etc.  Especially avoid blank 
subjects. 

8. When you want to start a new topic, open a 
new mail composer and enter the mailing list 
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of 
replying to an existing thread and replacing 
the subject and body with your message.

9. It's always a good idea to post back to 
the list once you've solved your problem. 
People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject 
line of their email

Because you do not have an ending delimiter. In fact, you don't have a
starting delimiter, either, but preg assumes you meant the ^ character to be
your delimiter.

This is explained in all of the examples in the manual, but you must
surround your regular expression by a delimiter such as the / or #
character. This is because you can include modifiers after the delimiters to
further create your regex.

if(preg_match_all("/^([00])?.*$",$called,$found))

Although I doubt that'll work like you want it since [00] matches a zero, or
another zero. It only matches one character.

I wouldn't even use preg for this. Just use ltrim() or
if(substr($called,0,2)=='00')...

[Jason Barnett]

Yep, I'd agree with the above comments.  If you're interested in one 
solution, check out HAWHAW, it has a proxy server for detecting/serving 
web pages via regular browsers and mobile devices.  I haven't tried it 
in a long time though, so it might need updating but can still show you 
an example of how to detect mobile devices versus webpages.

[PHP] Re: The Smarty Aftermath

[Justin Patrin]

Justin French wrote:

In the aftermath of the Smarty debate (which turned from intelligent to 
stupid very quickly), I decided to look closely at templating again 
(though not smarty), and I've found one are where these excel in 
comparison to PHP.

Textpattern [1] is a gamma release CMS/blog tool which uses XML 
templating very effectively -- and I can't see an easy way to reproduce 
this with straight PHP.

something might translate 
to the following PHP code:
'cat','b'=>'dog','c'=>'mouse'),'something'); ?> OR


Easy enough, except this is where the XHTML wins:
For the PHP versions, the template designer must have an in-depth 
knowledge of the functions.  He/she must get the parameters in the right 
order, know which ones have default values, etc etc.  Making a mistake 
will generate errors and break code.

The XHTML version on the other hand doesn't ask any more or less of the 
designer than XHTML does.  I can switch the order of the arguments, 
leave some out, etc etc, leaving the hard work to the PHP function on 
the other end to sort it all out.

So, my question is:

Am I missing something in regards to PHP's functions that would give us 
some more simplicity?  The closest I can think of is to pass the 
attributes in any order using 'attr=value', then using funct_get_args() 
to sort it all out:


But this is STILL less intuitive than:
something
Any ideas?  John

Wellthat seems a bit hard to understand to me. Why did you choose 
not to go with Smarty? Or, say, another templating system?

You could do a few things, depending on how much PHP you want in there. 
You could use this kind of syntax:

Where the first parameter is the "key" and the next is the value. Or, 
morre explicitly:
 'dog', 'a' => 'cat'))?>

Or you could even use XML and use XSL or PHP to convert it yourself.

Have you asked your Exchange admins if they changed something? They 
might have turned off relaying.

Also, those domains look a little fishy. localhost.localdomain and

Just installed PHP on a brand new W2k3 Server, and it works flawlessly, but

Migrating the site from a Win2000 box, and everything was perfect, so I

[PHP] help!! Double-byte character problem

[Kelvin]

Hi all,
Is there any function/method in PHP to convert a double-byte character into
its ascii code?

for example, the traditional Chinese charater "§A" is equal to 20320. In ASP
there is a function AscW() to do so. Don't know if we have similar function
in PHP.

thanks,
Kelvin

Re: [PHP] requests per s with php and mysql queries

[William Lovaton]

Hi Merlin,

I use some tools made by my self.  So, I have done some PHP scripts to
gather this info.

The information I gave to you regarding concurrency (requests per sec)
are obtained simply by analyzing the apache logs.  Look at the left, you
will see the date and time of the request, just group all the requests
that are in the very same second.

The active users were obtained analyzing the sess_* files and looking
for a special session var directly in the serialized data.  Ofcorse,
this session var has to be setted by the corresponding app in the user
session.

There are others measures you can get.  One of the most useful ones is
the execution time of the script.  For this, you will have to modify the
apache log format in this way:

LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b %T %P" mycustomlog

and then tell apache to use it:

CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log mycustomlog

This format adds the last two parameters, %T indicates the execution
time of the request and %P is the proccess id of the server that served
the request. Note1: %P is not mandatory, it is just nice ;-).  Note2:
pay attention to the case, it is case-sensitive.

The important one is %T, the time is in seconds and it includes
everything, from PHP input processing to database interaction and PHP
output processing.  As you can see, this is the total execution time of
a PHP script.  The only thing that is not included obviously is the
network transfer time from the web server to the user's web browser.

So, a PHP script digest all the apache log and generates something like
this: (An example of the execution times from my app)


| Seconds  |  Requests  | Percentage (%) | Accumulated (%) |

|0 |2003346 |76.4794 |   76.4794   |

Another thing that I would suggest is that you should profile your
application. May be using something like Zend Debugger if you can or
writting your application with profiling in mind.

First of all, it is easier if your application was made thinking in
reuse of code with a reasonable architecture.  For example, your SQL
queries must be placed in a business loginc layer so you can reuse it
every time you need it.  Extra care must be taken when designing the
API.  Let's see an example of this:

function &getCustomerTransactions($customerId) {
// Here goes the SQL logic: 
// SELECT * from transactions where customer_id = $customerId
}

Inside this function you can take measures of the sql execution time or
the fetch times from the database.  Remember that fetching thousands and
thousands of records through the network takes a lot of time.

Just take an initial time, execute an operation and then take the final
time, do the math (a difference BTW) and log it in a file with the
format of your preference (CSV is a good option).  And finally you might
want to write an script to proccess the log file and show the results.

Ex:
$it = getmicrotime(); // the profiling starts
// Execute something here (usually, a query execution)
$ft = getmicrotime(); // the profiling ends
$totalTime = $ft - $it;
logThis(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"), "", $totalTime);

For high precision measures take a look of microtime().  Look at the
user comments too.
http://www.php.net/microtime

With this you will be able to see the most used functions (queries) and
how much time they take to execute.  Based on this information you will
know what you have to optimize first.

Can someone give me a brief outline of what I need to do or point me to 
a good writeup?

My host makes it tough to run command line code to make files, etc.

I've found a a Linux binary [sqlite.so].   And, they provide a means to

If the error occurs within a table element on a web page, Mozilla won't
display because it's waiting for the '' to begin figuring
out the display properties.

Use 'View Source' if/when this happens.

i can say that i did this but it didnt help in any way but i'll try this

I know that but this is not the case, I dont mix HTML with PHP, I use
Smarty and the error is generated inside business logic functions.

Sometimes it occurs when calling a method in a null variable.  This
usually shows the error message, but sometimes it doesn't and I don't
know why.

I use allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off and sometimes this triggers
the problem:

$x = foo("bar");
$y = foo($obj->getBar());

With this setting in off he two lines of code sometimes fails and some
others doesn't fail.  But when it fails it does it completely silent.

To workaround the problem I have to do:

$tmp = "bar";
$x = foo($tmp);

or

$tmp = $obj->getBar();
$y = foo($tmp);

But what if the function you are callign doesn't need any passed
variable like

$bar = foo(); ???

the more strange thing is, on a lamp environment (SUSE 9.0, PHP 4.3.5),
 the scripts worked, on a wamp (win2k, same PHP) and on a LAMP RH9 same
PHP
it didn't work.

Mmmm... very strange...

can you print_r() the array returned by get_defined_functions(),
get_included_files() and get_declared_classes() and see if every thing
is going on right??  Use the last one if your included file define
classes too.

Can we review the code in the mailing list?? is it big?

[PHP] Including a dynamic variable/file

[Ryan A]

Hi,
I created a "control panel" for a client, he wanted the option of changing
the template as whenever he pleases.
Since he knows HTML I made it very simple by adding a header and a footer.

He simple fills in 2 variables in Config.php:
$client_header
$client_footer

In my scripts I am calling it like this:


but it gives me this error:
Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening '' for inclusion
(include_path='.;C:/php/includes;C:/php/php/class') in
c:\php\www\project14342\client\index.php on line 3

Running tests I see taht Config.php IS getting included...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Ryan

You can compile and install the extension from the source located

You found it on your virtual host machine? or somewhere on the
internet?

I wouldnt trust any old .so laying around somewhere. If its on your
virtual host machine already then you can just add this to your
php.ini (assuming its in your extension path)

  extension=sqlite.so

iirc, that means that 'SITE' isn't supported by the server your

RE: [PHP] looking for remote execution command

[Vail, Warren]

Depends on the machine you are connecting to, but there are a whole raft of
them.
rexec, rpc, rsh, ssh (I've even invoked perl under php to gain access to
perls telnet command, could never get one to work in PHP, seems there is
some handshaking missing (will/wont, can/cant, etc)).  Secure Shell (ssh) is
becoming the preferred method in lots of shops, but if connectivity is
behind a firewall, then any of the others should do just fine.

To find out what is available on the destination machine, signon to it and
look for the deamon processes (rexecd, rshd, etc [don't know them all]).
Note that none of these are PHP functions, you will need to code exec("rsh
...") or something like that to execute the appropriate client (and yes
windows versions of these clients are available if your server is a windows
platform).

BTW, I've never used the SITE command that way with FTP (maybe doesn't mean
much), but I have used SITE JES to connect ftp to mainframe reader/writer,
and followed it with a get specifying a JCL file on the mainframe to be
submitted and spool output to be retrieved as my resulting file.  Perhaps
this might provide a few clues.

hope this helps.

There is a default maximum run time for scripts of 30 seconds (it is

RE: [PHP] how do I make a script wait ?

[Jason Sheets]

Take a look at the set_time_limit function, it will allow you to set the
maximum execution time to a greater value, note that when you call the
function it sets the max time and resets the timer so if you set it to 100
seconds 20 seconds into the script the script will run for a maximum of 120
seconds.

There is a default maximum run time for scripts of 30 seconds (it is
max_execution_time in the php.ini file), so unless you have changed this,
you might be running into the maximum run time.

Dear Chris,

Would you mind to post me a sample about the useful of $_SESSION ?

[PHP] Form variable can't transfer to web page

[Morris Law]

Dear all PHP users,

I have installed a new web server for PHP scripting.
I wrote a PHP form page to submit some variables to
another PHP pages.  After submission, I found that the
variables cannot be echoed out.   The scripts are as simple
like these,



\n";
print "Name: \n";
print "\n\n";
?>


  \nWhat a bold move
this is!\n"); ?>  

What sort of problem relating to installation is it?

Thanks for any inputs and advice.

[PHP] class design

[Andy B]

hi...

i was reading something on phppatterns website about class design. the
reading said that its best to take say a db extraction class that you might
want to write and instead of making one super huge class out of it called
"db" or whatever it would be called but to turn that "db" class into a bunch
of mini classes.
so instead of having:
class db {
//connect functions
//error functions
//query functions
//result functions
//so on...}
you should make:
classes: DbConnect, DbError, DbQuery, DbResult and so on...

was just wondering what the best way to do something like this is... i can
see writing different classes for different sections of db use but unless my
mind is super limmited right now that isnt really 100% possible or
reasonable  considering that some of those classes might only have 1 or 2
different functions in it... but then again i guess super small exact easy
to figure out classes are the best??

for example class DBQuery would have in it: Insert, Delete, Update, Select,
CheckTable, BackupTable, RestoreTable, TableList, DbList and so on... and
maybe that could even be broken down to 2 classes in itself: DbQuery and
DbInfo...

ok time to stop babbling i guess... just trying to figure out how i should
start going about this class writing deal and how to split the files/class
defines...

Unless register_globals is off, you need to use the $_GET/$_POST super-globals 
to access request data.

..so this would become:

  

See the manual () if you don't understand any 
of the above constructs.
