Hi everyone,
 

What's the problem? I have one week to do this. Oh, and did I mention that I
know VERY little about PHP / mySQL. I know NOTHING about ColdFusion or
MSSQL. And to top it off, the site in question contains over 300 .cfm files!
Does anyone have any idea how I could pull this off?

rename all files to .php and set the web server to parse .php files
as coldfusion.

Re: [PHP] ColdFusion / SQL > PHP / mySQL HELP!

[Galen]

Yeah, I'd say it's completely hopeless in a week. PHP is a totally 
different language than ColdFusion. SQL and MySQL may be different. The 
databases alone, as others have mentioned, could easily be a week even 
if you're experienced. Moving BOTH databases and scripting languages 
will probably mean you have to more reimplement, not just duplicate 
exact. Certain features may exist in your current database and not in 
MySQL, making it impossible to port your database as-is and requiring 
massively more function.

If you really want this thing done and don't know what you're doing, 
try giving yourself 6 months. Or more. And a very long read through the 
PHP and MySQL documentation. And lots of posts to the php list when you 
can't figure things out.

You could also try outsourcing your code. If ALL you want is an exact 
copy in PHP, I bet there are plenty off off-shore (well, off the U.S. 
shore) companies willing to do it for a very reasonable rate. I can't 
speak for their design and how easy the code will be to work with, but 
that would be the way to do it fast and cheap (well, relatively cheap). 
But it better be important, because I bet it would be massively cheaper 
to buy another ColdFusion license than to try and re-implement 
ColdFusion in PHP on this scale!

Please post back here and let us know what happened with this. I'm 
guessing you posted feeling pretty freaked out after your boss pushed 
you to do this. Or perhaps you just thought that ColdFusion and PHP 
were very similar and there was some kind of converter or easy process, 
like going from GIF to PNG or something. Unfortunately, that's just not 
the case. If you come back and ask smaller, more specific questions, 
preferably somewhat pre-researched (just spend 3 minutes googling), we 
can help and we promise not to group-lynch you :)

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

[Ma Siva Kumar]

===
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://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/
(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).

[PHP] Simple preg I think

[Dave Carrera]

Hi List,

How do I match an accordance of "./" in a string (without the quotes) ?

I have tried preg_match("/\.\//i", $str);

Which I thought would work , as per the manual, but no joy.

Any help or guidance is appreciated

Thank you in advance

That works for me...

$testVal = "this is the ./command";

if(preg_match("/\.\//i", $testVal))
{
echo "hello";
}

This printed hello, then I removed the slash and it did not match and did
not print hello.  Sounds like it is a logic problem, or the variable is not
arriving as you expected.

Because you dont need echo - include output the html :)
just

Check the documentation http://php.net/include - include returns 1 - 
thats why it is printed out when you do echo :)

[PHP] Re: including an html file!!

[GodFoca]

echo returns 1 on success, so the interpreter first evaluates the expression
inside the echo() call, and thus includes the html file, and then, as the
evaluation returned 1, it echoes 1 to the final file.

You should only do "include(...)", without the echo.

Good luck,

RE: [PHP] cookies malfunctioning moving from windows to linux

[Ryan Schefke]

Thomas/All,

To summarize, my code containing cookies running on windows with a working
php installation (and Apache) executed all scripts containing cookies
perfectly. However, I transitioned my code to a Linux box with a fresh
install of PHP and now my cookies aren't working.  Below is an example of
setting and writing cookie values from one script.  Again, everything worked
like a charm on my old machine.  That's why I think it has something to do
with the Apache or PHP installation settings.

Note - on the new PHP installation I've had to change the "register_global"
switch to "on" in my php.ini file to get my code working.  Now the cookies
don't work...

Please, please help! 



= SET value of cookie =
setcookie ("showpoll_ck", "$ID"); // set cookie to show poll answers
header ('Location: '.$PHP_SELF);
= SET value of cookie =



= WRITE value of cookie =
'; 
if ($showpoll_ck == "$ID") {
echo 'Thank you for your vote.
Results:';
}

echo '';
?>
= WRITE value of cookie =


** PS, I also tried $_COOKIE['showpoll_ck'] when writing value...that
doesn't make a difference, that's why I think it's something with the
install.

Just to clear it out... include does not always return 1.

Thought it is possible to use javascript as suggested by John, the 
recomended way is to use styles to change the appearance of the submit 
button.

Example:

.submit {
 border: none;
 background-color: white;
}
.submit:hover {
 border: none;
 background-color: white;
 text-decoration: underline;
 cursor: hand;
 cursor: pointer;
}

[PHP] Data reading and writing for a chat

[Stephen Lake]

Hey All,

I got a question for you all.
What would be more effiecient for datastoring that is going to be constantly
extracted like in a chat application?
a MySQL database? or a Flat text file?

Right now I am working on a flat text file base but would also like to do it
as a database version too if the performance wouldn;t be hit that bad.

Well, the most effiecient would be the memory :) With some socket 
programming it should be possible to create a connection to each client 
- and a server show sent out the incoming messages to the clients.

But flat file vs. mysql. I would prefer MySQL - it is fast, it can 
handle a lot of request. If you use flatfile, you need to do some 
checking for the if the file is open already - so only one client at the 
time can write to the file - if can be very slow if a lot of users is on 
the chat at the same time and write a lot of messages - cause the whole 
file need to be locked every time a single user write a message.

So in my opinion, you should do some socket client and a server - or use 
a database :)

[PHP] Windows to Linux -- Issues with mkdir()function and picture uploading

[Ryan Schefke]

Hi All,

 

I recently migrated code from my home server (windows) to a dedicated
hosting server (Linux).  I seem to have some issues with permissions and I'm
not sure how to fix it.

 

Take the simple script I wrote below.

=



 

It produces the following error:

Warning: mkdir() failed (Permission denied) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/php4.php on line 3

=

 

 

The above behavior is on the Linux machine.  Now, I run the same script on
my windows box and it works perfectly.

 

In another script I upload .jpg files to a directory.  It was working
perfectly on the windows home server and on the Linux box I get an access
denied error like this:

Warning: Unable to create
'/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/users/client1/album/175
_7538.jpg': Permission denied in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/photos.php on line 226

 

Could someone please?

windows has (afaik in its default settings) no good file-permissions.
the php-scripts usually run as the user the webserver runs as ...
so the webserver-user has to have write-permissions on the directory it 
needs to write to.
so either chown (change the owner) or chmod (change the permissions to 
be writable for the group or even other if needed) the directory.

[PHP] PEAR Mail/smtp sending problem

No errors are generated back to me, but the messages aren't going through.
I can't see the smtp server logs, so I don't know what's failing.

[PHP] CMS with best administration part?

[Khan]

Hello,
I'm looking for CMS that have great administration part. I'm not
interested in site displaying, speed, HTML standards or anything like 
that. I just need stable administration part with modules:

- News with archives;
- Blogs;
- Some users Can be administrators of blogs;
- Link directory;
- Navigation with multiple categories and subcategories;
- Different news for different parts of my web site;
Web site will be very large and it will have almost any module that you 
can find these days :)

I like XOOPS [1]. I also have my eye on Mambo [2]. A friend of mine told 
me that Drupal [3] has best community and if not drupal that I should 
check EZ [4].

What do you think? Which CMS has best PHP coding standards, best 
community, most modules etc...

Any advice is appreciated.
1. http://xoops.org/
2. http://mamobserver.com/
3. http://drupal.org/
4. http://ez.no/
If you know of some other CMS please send link. I know of 
opensourcecms.com but I'm interested in your opinions about project 
future, community etc.

successfully, but fails to update the database. I'm sure I'm about to 
feel pretty stupid, so fire away... just please fire the answer too.

$query="UPDATE $table_name SET company_name='$company',

you have 'company_name' in SET and then again in WHERE. This looks fishy.

Re: [PHP] Query Query

This may sound stupid, but are you actually EXECUTING the query?
$doit = mysql_query($query);

What does mysql_error() says?
Tried to print out the query and execute it directly in the mysql prompt 
or phpmyadmin? What happens then?

Funny how a mysql question gets a lot of attention...

select * from $table_name where company_name ='$mod_dataset'

expect:
 0 rows

[PHP] Windows to Linux -- Getting errors still...

[Ryan Schefke]

Hello,

 

I successfully tested the GD library and several scripts with PHP locally on

my windows machine. I went to test the same php-files on my internet server
(Linux).
But on the server I get the following error: 

 

Warning: imagejpeg: unable to open 'temp.jpg' for writing in
/home/httpd/vhosts/tgwedding.com/httpdocs/tgwedding/photos.php on line 29

I already changed the file permissions but it didn't still work.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem?

 

This is line 29:

imagejpeg($base_image, 'temp.jpg'); //convert and save it to temp.jpg

 

Thanks,

Ryan

[PHP] drop down menu populated from a directory

[Dustin Krysak]

Hi there
What I am hoping to do is have a drop down menu that would be populated 
from the contents of a directory via php. Now The link names would be 
generated by the file name minus the file extension. Has anyone seen a 
tutorial on accomplishing something like this? All of the links would 
be to quicktime movies, but I am hoping to have them embedded in HTML 
(or PHP). So the movie is displayed in a browser

thanks in advance!

This should do the trick:

// opening select tag goes here...

if ($handle = opendir('/path/to/files')) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))

   if ($file != '.' && $file != '..')

   $fileName = str_replace('.mov', '', $file);
   echo '' . $fileName . '';
   }
   }
   closedir($handle);
}

// closing select tag goes here

Haven't tested it. Hope it works and helps ;)

Torsten Roehr

Hi,
you should give it a path, i.e. ./temp.jpg or a full absolute path.

[PHP] Simple calender

[Ryan A]

Hey,

been looking at a lot of calenders most of them are either too big for my
use (whole page), not free, in javascript or  too complicated.

I require a calender that is simple, loads fast,small and not javascript,
the closest I found is at:
http://scripts.franciscocharrua.com/calendar.php

just two problems with it,
1. It does not have the days on top (eg: s,m,t,w,t,f,s - sunday,
mondayetc)
2. (not required but would be nice if it would) allow me to link from the
days of the calender to some page/s

I guess I could modify the above calender as it pretty good + open
source...but if anybody is using a calender already which is like the above
+ the 1 or two points I wroteyour response would be appreciated. ;-)

Thanks,
-Ryan

[PHP] triggering php scripts...

[Chris Wagner]

hello,

i am wondering if there is a good way to trigger a php script from a web
page *without* sending the user to a new page or opening a new browser
windows.

for instance, suppose you wanted to make a button/link on a web page
that, when clicked, would cause a database entry to be decremented. 
however, you do not want to refresh the page or open a popup window or
any stinky little tricks like that.

or, if this is not possible, does anyone know how to trigger a php
script when someone accesses a particular file from an apache server? 
or if a file from a particular directory is downloaded...


thanks a lot!

Use a virtual include to call the php script.

I don't think you can do that unless the php script is used to access the file 
or perform the download you speak of.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP Coding Standards

[Travis Low]

I have to say I like everything about the PEAR coding standards except for the 
K&R bracing style.  I much prefer:

  if( foo )
  {
 blah;
  }
to
  if( foo ) {
 blah;
  }
The latter form (K&R) conserves vertical space, but I find it a lot harder to 
follow.  Harder to move blocks of code around too.  I'm sure plenty of people 
disagree, so of course this is IMHO.

cheers,
Travis

Re: [PHP] CMS with best administration part?

[Justin French]

Also checkout Textpattern (in gamma right now, with g1.19 due in the 
next few days, which should be pretty much perfect for everything I've 
ever wanted).

http://www.textpattern.com/
FWIW, it *is* standards compliant, has clean/smart PHP code, has a 
beautiful interface, an amazing support community, an awesome 
developer/owner (Dean Allen), nice plug-in architecture, role based 
permissions structure, unlimited blogs (actually, they're sections of 
the site with categories and sub-categories), so it's really a CMS the 
feels "bloggy".

And as of g1.19, Textpattern will be open source.
What it does lack (I guess) is maturity and an abundance of plugins.  
But on the other hand, it has everything you want (I think), right out 
of the box, and a great community to help you write plugins.  At the 
moment it lacks message boards and things like that, but everything 
will be there eventually.

Even at this early stage, every other CMS I've ever used (and even the 
one I've spent a year developing part-time) pales in comparison.  It 
may not do "everything" right now, but it will -- trust me.  This thing 
will crush MT, Wordpress, and everything else out there, and will never 
cost you a cent.

I can't speak highly enough of it right now, and the future is very 
bright.

[Jeremy Johnstone]

Just as an FYI, the following line will get your email a lot of spam points in 
SpamAssassin:

$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";

Also, I don't know if this has already been suggested, but there is an awesome 
class named htmlMimeMail which will handle your needs perfectly. Google it 
and you will have everything you need.
