The results from IN BOOLEAN MODE are not sorted in order of relevance, from
what I can see in the docs. More info can be found at 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Fulltext_Boolean.html

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, BOOLAEN MODE may not be what
you want.

Ok I have a general problem.
I have a textarea on an html form.
Well when the user get's to the end of the textarea, it wrap's around. The problem 
with this is that unless they do a carriage return, the text entered into the textarea 
is a very long line. So when ever they submit the form, the string in the textarea is 
just one long line without newlines or carriage returns.
How do I add linefeeds every few words?

[PHP] Benchmarking a script

[Anguz]

Hello,
I have a script I am optimizing and want to compare the before and after 
in speed. So I wrote a few lines to loop this script but I have a 
problem. In the script I'm optimizing there's some function definitions 
and when the script starts the second iteration it throws an error 
because the function already exists. How can I modify my benchmark code 
to make it work? This is what I have:

=0; ){
ob_start();
$bench_time1 = array_sum(explode(' ', microtime()));
// script start 
// script...
	// script end **
	$bench_time0 += array_sum(explode(' ', microtime())) - $bench_time1;
	while(@ob_end_clean());
}
echo 'Tot Time: ' , $bench_time0 , 'Loops:' , $bench_n , 
'Avg Time: ' , ($bench_time0 / $bench_n) , '';
?>

Thank you very much in advance.

[PHP] ISAPI vs CGI

[Vincent DUPONT]

Hi, 

I have a script that need to run on ISAPI module on one server and on CGI on anther 
server.
I would like my code to be able to react differently depending on the CGI/ISAPI mode. 

How can I detect the running mode of PHP??
is there a $_SERVER variable or anything??

Alternatively you can set 'output_buffering = Off' in php.ini and just carry 
on using echo/print.

I don't know. But you've asked the right question. Take it a step further by 
doing 

  print_r($_SERVER);

on both servers and see if there's something you can use to differentiate the 
two.

[PHP] Re: Benchmarking a script

[Jason Barnett]

Well you could put all of your function definitions into a separate 
file.  Then, just include the function file before you loop through the 
code that uses the functions.  Or as an alternative you could also do:


But this really isn't a good idea.  Try to put the function definitions 
into a separate file if that's feasible.

[PHP] session_is_registered gets session values only after doing some output first !?

[Frank Rust]

I try to check if a session is registered. This works fine if
I first do some output
  echo "abc";
  if (!session_is_registered('userid')) { do_something(); }
  else { redirect_to_somewhere(); }
and I can't redirect to another page ...

If I comment out the echo statement I get always false and
$_SESSION is empty, but I could redirect somewhere...

I tried php 4.3.1 and 4.3.7 with apache 2.0.45 both the same.
On a Windows box the same program runs fine.

Can anybody help?

Thank you Jason. The problem I'm having is that part of what I'm 
benchmarking is having to define the functions compared to having not 
to. Basically part of the speed improvement is taking big parts of the 
code out of functions, so I need the definitions there :/

You ought to make sure that the session was already started before
trying to work with it.
Either start the session implicitly via session.auto_start = 1 in your
php.ini so a session is always started automatically or explicitly start 
it via session_start().

As long as the session is not started the session-array ($_SESSION, 
HTTP_SESSION_VARS) is not set.

Dear sirs,

Actually I am using virtual server and I think I have no write to use
crontab/ But this methods become to me interesting. I will try to learn more
about how to use crontab and where can I find that in my virtual server?

If I use include in my script, I need to wait result of included script and
it takes some time because included script should connect one of the my
other server and write some data there for backup reason. Actually this
backup reason is not so important to slow my main script. Thats why I don't
want to result of the backup writing.

If memory serves, you shouldn't use the $_SESSION variables in the same 
script that will use session_is_registered.  I just checked the online 
documentation and yep, that's the case.  Are you trying to see if a 
session has been started?  See this:

[PHP] Parsing entities in XML attributes

[Gabriel Birke]

Hello!
I've got an XML file that has the following tag:

I parse it with the following handler (simplified a bit):
function start_tag($parser, $name, $attrs)
{
global $text;
if($name == "CUSTOMTEXT")
$text = $attrs['TEXT'];
// more tags here ..
}
When I echo $text in a HTML page, I see a linebreak - just as I 
intended.

One of our customers has the script installed on his server and he 
doesn't see a linebreak but sees  printed out. He has to write 
the tag like this:


Now I've got two questions:
1. Which tag is correct XML?
2. What is the cause of this?
I'm running the script with PHP 4.1.2 and EXPAT Version 1.95.2
Don't know what our customer has running.
With best regards

Yes it is possible. It requires that you have COM and a way to search
the internet for the answers. Google, being your friend and mine turned
up this little snippet of code.

Visible = 0;

//$contents will be the string you want to convert to a Word document
$word->Documents->Add("$contents");

$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("filename.doc");

$word->Quit();

$word->Release();

This isn't exactly a PHP issue, it's your operating system.  For Linux 
you use crontab, for Windows you use Scheduled Tasks.  Talk to your web 
hosting company for information on how to do this (or if it is an 
option).  Some tips to get you started:

You can use the function php_sapi_name().
It tells how php is connected to the webserver..

I think you only have to change one line of your php code:

[PHP] CSV explode problem

[V Patel]

I have a csv string. But the string also contains other strings with commas.

Explode is not working with this kind of string. For example,

1,2,3,"this string gets parsed , at the comma"

Result of explode(",",string) is
1
2
3
this string gets parsed
at the comma

But what I want is
1
2
3
this string gets parsed , at the comma

I am not fluent with regular expressions. If anybody could help.

Thanks,
Vp

[PHP] Trying to create and save a DOM XML file.

[Eric L. Sammons]

I have created an XML, via php, and doing a dump_mem() everything looks as 
expected.  Now I need to have it write to a file.  I have found the function 
DOMDocument->save(); however, when used it appears that it is unknown.  I 
believe this may be deprecated or because I am using domxml_new_doc() to 
create the document.

So I have:
$doc->save("/tmp/test.xml");

This does not work

Thoughts?

you have this in your previous email $doc->dump_mem() .  Just do this 

$file = $doc->dump_mem();

then write $file to a file.

Input is a large string. We have no control over the file, so its not

[PHP] PHP-based XML utilities

[Jason Barnett]

Hey all, I've been working a lot more with XML recently and it seems 
like there's been a fair number of other people using XML too (based on 
the moderate number of XML-based problems showing up on this list).  So, 
I thought I might build a form with PHP that helps people trying to work 
with XML documents.

If people are interested, I'll publish the source online (not on this 
list).  But if I'm going to do that, I need to know what features people 
would find most helpful for their XML development / debugging.

The list of form features that seem most helpful to me:
- Simple creation of xml nodes.
- XML function reference.  I'm thinking I will just link to PHP's online 
documentation here.
- Full qname expansion.  Some xml documents use namespaces; with this 
users can click on a localname and see the resolved qname.
- XPath highlighting.  Enter an XPath expression for your document, and 
the script returns the source with all matching nodes highlighted.
- Validation, with syntax highlighting when an error is found.

I also might do:
- XSLT function reference.
- Before & after snapshots of an XSL transformation on a given xml 
document.  Perhaps this would also allow the user to click on one of the 
xml nodes from the new document and see which transformation affected 
this node.

By creating an html form to handle this generation, I'm hoping that 
myself and other people will be able to solve more of their xml problems 
on their own.  Comments?  Suggestions?

Jason

Here's a funciton I cooked up to deal with this:

/**
 * does a regular split, but also accounts for the deliminator to be 
within quoted fields
 *  for example, if called as such:
 *   splitQuoteFriendly(',', '0,1,2,"3,I am still 3",4');
 *  it will return:
 *   array(0 => '0',
 * 1 => '1',
 * 2 => '2',
 * 3 => '"3,I am still 3"',
 * 4 => '4');
 * @param string deliminator to split by
 * @param string text to split
 * @param string text which surrounds quoted fields (defaults to ")
 * @return array array of fields after split
 */
function splitQuoteFriendly($delim, $text, $quote = '"') {
  $strictFields = explode($delim, $text);
  for($sl = 0, $l = 0; $sl < sizeof($strictFields); ++$sl) {
$fields[$l] = $strictFields[$sl];
$numQuotes = 0;
while(fmod($numQuotes += substr_count($strictFields[$sl], $quote), 
2) == 1) {
  ++$sl;
  $fields[$l] .= $delim.$strictFields[$sl];
}
++$l;
  }

  return $fields;
}
?>
Just do a splitQuoteFriendly("\n", $csv), then loop through the 
resulting array and do splitQuoteFriendly(',', $line).

hmm... on top of the suggestion greg donald gave, i don't think posting

[PHP] Re: Benchmarking a script

If you have an apache webserver setup you should look into the ab,
apache benchmark suite. This will give you a very good tool to
benchmark your files in its correct environment without altering your
code.

If youre on a windows plattform and cant locate the ab.exe tool
please tell me and I'll email it to you, I remember I spent some time
finding it.

[PHP] bad programming?

[Amanda Hemmerich]

We just moved a bunch of code from one web hosting company to another.
Now, one of the pages no longer works.  I have been sort of starting from
scratch, and the first line is still not working.  Am I using something
that I shouldn't be?  Here is a code snippet:

if ($REQUEST_METHOD=='POST') {
   for(reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
  $key=key($HTTP_POST_VARS);
  next($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
 $this = addslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS[$key]);
 $this = strtr($this, ">", " ");
 $this = strtr($this, "<", " ");
 $this = strtr($this, "|", " ");
 $$key = $this;
   }
}

The part that's not working is the $REQUEST_METHOD=='POST' line.  If I
replace that with if ($login) (and $login is the name of the submit button
on the form), it works fine.  I am leary of using $login...any other
suggestions?

Thanks.

[PHP] Re: bad programming?

[Kim Steinhaug]

Could be something about the server environment,
you could try changing to :

$_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]

Run a phpinfo() and see what variables are active on your new
server. I know that IIS webservers lack alot of the variables we
take for granted mostly.

[PHP] SQL Case sensitivity

[Gabe]

I hope I don't get too chastised for a double post ( posted in .db first 
), but I'm hoping someone can help me.

I'm using PHP with ADOdb ( and an MS Access 2000 db ) to write a simple 
SQL statement but was running into some case sensitivity issues.  Here's 
my SQL currently:

SELECT autoQuesID,fldQuesTitle,fldBody
FROM tblFAQ_Question
WHERE fldBody LIKE '%$strSearchFor%';
All I'm trying to do is have the users search string searched for in the 
"fldBody" field.  However, I'm having problems trying to get it so that 
the search is case-insensitive.  For instance:

If I search on "Airline", I get 1 record.
If I search on "airline", I get 0 records.
I make the value of $strSearchFor lower case ( using strtolower() ), but 
I don't know how to get it so that the contents of the "fldBody" field 
is lower case also.  I can't seem to find any functions or operators 
that remove the case-sensitivity.  However, I have tried this where 
clause to no avail:

WHERE LCase(fldBody) LIKE '%$strSearchFor%'
Any help would be much appreciated!

Dearest Colleague,

Start writing your project now. No one on this list or the PHP list is going 
to write this code for you. Either list will be glad to help you with 
problems you are having with code that you have written. Neither list is 
going to produce your project for you. I would suggest looking at 
sourceforge.net for pre-written code.

[PHP] Filesize

[Jay Blanchard]

Boy you'd think that this would be simple, but I get no filesize with
the following

for($i = 4; $i < count($arrDirectory); $i++){
if(is_dir($arrDirectory[$i])){
if($theDir = opendir($arrDirectory[$i])){
while(($theFile = readdir($theDir)) !== FALSE){
$theSize = filesize($theFile);
echo $theFile . "\t" . $theSize . "\n";
}
}
fclose($theDir);
} 
}

Heck, I even get some warnings...

PHP Warning:  filesize(): Stat failed for cw.tol.1040606180942.txt.gz
(errno=2 - No such file or directory) in
/usr/local/www/data.default/test/dvdArchivePackager.php on line 50

[PHP] Get users MAC-address of visitor

[Yngve]

Hi!

I wonder how i can retrive the MAC-address of the visitor using PHP?

What i am thinking about is using the MAC-address instead of the IP-address
to ban troublesome users from forums etc.

If i just use the IP-address some users will just change it. I know that
it´s possibly to spoof the MAC address but it´s much harder than just
changing the IP-address.

Do you think that there is a big speed penalty by using the MAC-address? I
could just use it when the users first arrives to the site. Then he/she
could be logged in using a session the rest of his visit. I could also store
the MAC-address of the user in encoded form in a cookie so that i won´t have
to retrive the MAC-address "the hard way" on every visit.

Comments and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Yours supersinerely, Yngve

Re: [PHP] Get users MAC-address of visitor

[Travis Low]

I don't think you can get that information.  The packet at the MAC level is 
encpasulating the IP datagram.  When the datagram is passed along to another 
network (e.g. through a router), another MAC packet is constructed, and the 
payload (datagram) of the original MAC packet is placed into the new MAC 
packet.  At that point, the original MAC address is lost.

cheers,
Travis

!== is correct, check the manual. If you had a directory named 0, !=

[PHP] issue with inheriting private property from abstract class in php5rc3

if anyone can, would you please explain why the below code does what it

$this->test += $i;
}
}
$t = new TestInstance();
$t->addToTest(3);

Do you make people login? If you do couldn't you just flag troublesome

Do you have E_STRICT turned on? If not, I believe PHP5 lets you access

you create a new property of TestInstance that is public (the default).

[PHP] attach ICO [icon] files to a file thru php

[grahama]

is it possible to attach a custom icon [like an ICO file on the server] 
 to a file thru php ?

I want to automatically generate  a generic text file [ which is XML 
that launches a Quicktime Movie] that has a custom icon attached to 
it...
then, I want to automatically send that newly created file in an 
email...with a user id code for verification

the php used to generate the text file [minus the icon] would be 
something like:

' . "\n" .
'' . "\n" .
'';
Header('Content-Type: application/x-quicktimeplayer');
Header('Content-Length: '.strlen($buffer));
Header('Content-disposition: inline; filename=theMovie.qtl');
print $buffer;
?>

is this possible?

Re: [PHP] Re: I don't want to use include

If calling the backup function can wait till after your output is generated, then
you can echo/print the output call  " flush(); " and then call the backup routine.

Then the backup won't apper to be slowing down as it is running after the output is

Re: [PHP] issue with inheriting private property from abstract class

[Justin Patrin]

It's still a member, it just can't be accessed by the sub-class's
methods. If you call the parent's methods or a method in the parent is
called that isn't defined in the subclass, the private property is
still there are still used as normal.

[PHP] Php newbe need help with a script

[PHPme]

Hi There!

I only "used" php and never did any scripts
in the last time by my self. Now i searched
a script but its so frustrated - i didnt had
found anything that i can use for my needs.

I want to get a script that can do the following:

If a user visits my Website - the visitor should
get send to a rendom url from a link list.

Example .../myscript?=page1 should open a url
.../myscript?=page2 an other one and so on.

There are a lot of scripts for it i know but
i want that the users only see a page one time
in 24 hours (ip-block list) and on the next visit
an other url. If he refresh a lot of times and all
links are visited the last link should stay as standard
til his IP go expired (maybe a  use with a cookie can
be used too).

Is there anyone who can help me a bit?

Thanks a lot!

I think one could argue that that test:private shouldn't even be
there. To me that test:private would imply that is TestIntance's
private variable.

[PHP] Determine whether $_GET has a value

[Terence]

Hi,
Say you have a querystring - index.php?myname=joe
To determine whether myname has a value I have come to the following 
conclusions / shortcomings when using one of the following:

ISSET = as long as the variable myname exists it's set, but there's no 
guarantee of a value

!EMPTY = if your name = 0 (zero) then it's considered empty, for all 
else it seems to work

STRLEN = I have found this to be the only sure way to know.
Is there any other way, or should we always use a combination of ISSET 
and STRLEN?

There is an inherent problem in the varying ways that people interpret
"has a value."

> guarantee of a value

If it's set, it has a value. There's no guarantee as to what value, of
course, but that's not what isset() is meant to tell you. It only tells
you whether the variable is set.

To me, the only way for a variable to be defined and not have a value is
for it to be set to null:

$foo = null;

isset(null) returns false, so this follows what I would expect. I can see
a valid argument that isset() should return true for this case (since
you're setting the variable), but I don't agree with any of the arguments
that say isset() returns true when it should be false. Well, I also agree
with the way it handles null, but I understand the confusion with that
one.

> !EMPTY = if your name = 0 (zero) then it's considered empty, for all 
> else it seems to work

Yes, this one is a bit weird. For integers, it makes perfect sense. For
example:

$foo = 0;

Here, it is clear that I intend $foo to be an integer, so 0 is pretty much
what I would consider empty. However, if I have a string:

$foo = '0';

I may no longer consider 0 to be empty. Unfortunately, this is not what
empty() will indicate, so I can understand the complaints. This is just
one of those (rare, in my opinion) cases where a loosely-typed language
can be tricky.

> STRLEN = I have found this to be the only sure way to know.

It is best to decide what you really want to test for. "Whether something
has a value" is terribly ambiguous, and thus, there is no way to test for
this in a way that will satisfy everyone. It's far too open to
interpretation. Just imagine what your has_a_value() function might test
for (if you were to write one), and I think you'll begin to see how others
might disagree with your approach.

If you simply want your string to not be of zero length, strlen() is a
fine test. You might want to throw a trim() in there if you don't consider
whitespace by itself to count.

Lastly, I think you'll find this to be a good reference:

Hope that helps.

You're going to need to obtain the jpeg library, a simple
  pkg_add -r jpeg

Will add the library, and when you configure php:

  ./configure --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local [other options]


Might be wise to read this part of the handbood:

Re: [PHP] Re: Php survey+database

[Joel Kitching]

I think he wants us to tell him how to set up PHP and a database, and
then write some PHP code to add survey results to the database.  So,
get on it!

George Schlossnagle gave a good talk on this last night at NYPHP. His
slides aren't up yet, but they should appear here soon:

http://www.schlossnagle.org/~george/talks/

If you want to buy a book, his Advanced PHP Programming is a good title:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672325616/ref%3Dnosim/chrisshiflett-20

Another good one is Upgrading to PHP 5 by Adam Trachtenberg, which should
be available in a few weeks and specifically explains OOP in terms of
what's different:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596006365/ref%3Dnosim/chrisshiflett-20

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Sort a text string by last word before separator

[Evan Nemerson]

If I were you I'd use preg_match_all() so you get the first and last name as 
separate elements, then use usort() to create a custom sorting function based 
on strnatcasecmp()

Be careful about middle names and the such.
