THAT is a bug in IE as far as I have established. PSP kept insisting on 
switching to palette mode when I select transparent, and on asking 
elsewhere I was told IE can't handle anything more.
Since I can't create the picture - I haven't had a chance to check in

[PHP] Access CLIENTNAME

[Lester Caine]

At the risk of getting my head bitten off I ask this again, as I am not 
getting any help anywhere.

I'm running a PHP system that relies on knowing the location of the 
terminal to handle a lot of '911' (999) type things. I know that 
REMOTE_ADDR can not be relied on, but with fixed IP addresses on a local 
network it works fine. However I now have a customer who has a Terminal 
Server thin client network, and REMOTE_ADDR only reports the server 
address. In order to restore the facilities I need to gain access to the 
CLIENTNAME environmental variable from the browser and return it to PHP.

I've already got the simple bodge - they type it on on login - which is 
simply a joke when coming to use the system. I have a TS logon batch 
file which copies the CLIENTNAME variable to a file from which it could 
be accessed. BUT I have yet to find any way to pass the information.

Can anybody kick me in the right direction, or do I have to stick with a 
drop down list in the logon box and expect everybody to know where they 
are?

Surely VOIP is going to run into this problem soon isn't it? (Not that I 
can see how TS can actually handle the microphone and camera anyway ;) )

[PHP] Incorrect trans-sid placement in PHP Version 4.3.6

[Torsten Scheck]

Hi,
I just stumbled over a problem after I had updated PHP, and I thought I
should share my experience:
I use PHP Version 4.3.6 with '--enable-trans-sid' and deactivated cookies:
session.use_cookies Off
session.use_trans_sid On
And when I use PHP's session feature together with an empty XML tag, PHP
places the Session-ID in the wrong place, if there is no blank space
behind the attribute:

=>

NOT WORKING

=>

WORKING
(BTW: The blank space is optional according to XHTML specs.)
I hope this message helps you to avoid the kind of trouble I had.
See attached test case for further testing and bug fixing.
The php version I use is too old for the bug system. If you encounter
the same bug in a higher version, please report it. Thanks.
Torsten

The full output showing the owner.group would have been nice. Anyway:

is pretty explicit your uid (10029) is not allowed access to the directories 
created by the webserver's uid (48).

The usual workaround is to use the ftp functions to create your directories.

Regardless of solving your scrolling problem, these flush calls are the
wrong way round -- ob_flush() flushes to the layer which is flushed by
flush(), so you should be doing

ob_flush(); flush();

to get an immediate flush of the thing just echoed.

As I understand it, that will *not* work in PHP 5 as it still parses the entire file, 
barfing on the duplicate function definition, before even attempting to evaluate the 
if() at the top of the file.

If you're referring to SpamCease, it seems that these are, on the whole, not
genuine auto-replies but are themselves from a spam email address harvester
masquerading as a spam-blocker and using faked From: addresses.  Ignore them
or set up a rule to junk them.

(Although there does seem to be a genuine SpamCease challenge-response
spam-blocker, all of the emails I've seen here are clearly fakes and not the

Here is a better way to create a dynamaic function:

  $use_cache_code();

You need to come up with a better way to format that array based on how you
want to display it. You can then use {foreach}

[PHP] Working with a new design client

[charles kline]

Hi all,
I have a new client (a design company). They have never developed a 
dynamic website at all and do all their HTML editing using Dreamweaver.

When I build sites, I am used to using a class for pages. Many of the 
pages in this site are totally static except for a few elements (Bread 
Crumb, Nav Bar, etc.). So I am not sure if this method is the best way 
to go...

My big concern is that I am going to totally screw them up if they want 
to edit some details on a page, they are going to have to go in and 
mess with the HTML that gets passed to the drawPage() function. Maybe 
there is a better way to handle this?

I have never used Smarty, which I understand might be a big help in 
these situations. One concern of mine is that I have a tight budget on 
this project and don't want to spend a lot of time learning a new 
system unless I have to.

Thanks for any advice,
Charles

Smarty is one solution, but the concept you need to employ is separating
your display (mainly HTML) from your business logic (the PHP classes). Make
them separate files and then they only edit the templates and don't touch
your PHP code. You can make them plain HTML pages and just include() them,
read them and eval() them, or use any templating solution. It's going to be
the best way to do this.

Probably telling you what you already know, but it sounded like you just
needed to be told it! ;)

Are opposed to using something different for their general HTML editing?

You might be able to convinced them that if they used something like
http://kupu.oscom.org/ that they could be anywhere and modify their
site...then you just store the data in a db..and if you use something
like Smarty, their site will be pretty flexible.

[PHP] Re: Session problems under heavy load???

[BOOT]

Thanks for the replies. For those who mentioned load balancing I am using my
own server so that is not an issue. Loads should typically not hit what they
did while the raid array was rebuilding, however this does seem a little
alarming from a security standpoint! How do security conscious sites deal
with the potential threat of site compromise by overloading a server? In my
case the session variables I am using must be set in order to access certain
pages etc. so in the case where they are lost, access is denied, however I
am sure there are some parts of code where I have not accounted for the
possibility that a variable does not exist!

Re: [PHP] Re: [Q] How to setup Dreamweaver so that PHP scripts are executed?

[Jonathan Haddad]

And if you want to be really extreme, you can edit httpd.conf to use 
virtual hosting and recognize each of the sites you have as individual 
web servers.

Then, edit your hosts file to match the domains.. say I am working on my 
own web site, oldirtyhaddad.com (shameless plug).  I have set up my 
hosts file to recognize oldirtyhaddad and it gets served up locally.  I 
have one of these for each of the 20 sites that I maintain.  I also have 
this set up for phpMyAdmin.  (accessed by typing dbadmin).

If you've got Apache/PHP setup, just go to

[PHP] MAIL function sends as anonymouse@mydomain.com instead of what I specify in php.ini?

[BOOT]

I am sure that this is a problem with my MTA configuration not PHP itself,
but any help would be appreciated.

PHP is set to use sendmail (although I understand that my server may be
using qmail and not really sendmail?)

It seems that whatever SMPT settings I place in php.ini ignores. (SMTP
servername, FROM) and all e-mail is sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for any help!

Re: [PHP] SQL Join query

The only problem there is when you group the LEFT JOIN pictures that

accurate results.

You can't display an image inline. At least, not quite like that. You
*can* use a special img tag with mozilla to display inline, but this
isn't very well supported. Use an img tag to link to another script
and have that script base64_decode the image and display it (with the
correct headers).

Makes no practical difference, works just fine.

You obviously didn't RTFM, those particular settings are for Windows systems 
and are not applicable to un*x systems which you seem to be using (since you 
mention qmail). See examples in manual on how to set the FROM header in un*x 
systems.

Ick! eval() is evil!

What you want here is a function. Make a function which does what you
need and call it.

function doSomething($val) {
  //This is "re-used" code
  echo '$val = '.$val;

No - neither HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or HTTP_CLIENT_IP are returned for any 
browser running on Terminal Server. Just REMOTE_ADDR which is the 
address of the server not the client. Would be nice if HTTP_CLIENT_IP 
COULD be returned, and it would make sense.

[PHP] "count" index prevents ldap_add() after ldap_search() directly

[Chris Shenton]

I'm doing a bunch of LDAP work with PHP-4.3.6 and keep running up
against this annoyance.   If I do an ldap_search() and get the first
entry, I can't then tweak some of the attribute/values and then
directly use ldap_add() to put a new version into the directory.  The
reason is that the ldap_get_entries() function returns any array or
sub-array with a gratuitous "count" index. 

For example, the following code (error checking removed for clarity):

  $results = ldap_search($ldapConn, $baseDN, "uid=cshenton");
  $entries = ldap_get_entries($ldapConn, $results);
  $entry = $entries[0];
  echo "entry=" . print_r($entry, true) . "";

Prints the following (with some tedious attribute/value pairs removed):

  entry=

  Array
  (
  [cn] => Array
  (
  [count] => 1
  [0] => Chris Shenton-2
  )

  [0] => cn
  [sn] => Array
  (
  [count] => 1
  [0] => Shenton
  )

  [1] => sn
  [objectclass] => Array
  (
  [count] => 2
  [0] => inetOrgPerson
  [1] => qmailUser
  )
  ...
  [count] => 14
  [dn] => cn=Chris Shenton-2,ou=Headquarters,o=National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration,c=us
  )


My code then fiddles with the old DN to create a new entry, then tries
to add it to LDAP:

  if (! ldap_add($ldapConn, $newDN, $entry)) {
die("ldap_add failed, errno=". ldap_errno($ldapConn) . ": " 
. ldap_error($ldapConn));
  }


It fails (but oddly, ldap_error() reports Success).  The problem is
the 'count' and attribute-named indices (e.g., 'sn') in addition to
the numeric indices:

  Warning: ldap_add(): Value array must have consecutive indices 0, 1, ... in 
  /home/cshenton/public_html/newhorseadmin/ldap_search_add_test.php on line 45
  ldap_add failed, errno=0: Success


Am I missing something or is it not possible to simply take a search
result, then add it back?  Seems I have to strip out all these
gratuitous 'count' and non-numeric indices each time, which isn't
intuitive, obvious, or the most direct way of doing things.

Thanks.

You have benchmarks to back that up or experience?

I did a benchmark between using include(), eval(), smarty, pattemplate, and
a few others and include() and eval() are always the fastest.

Really depends upon what kind of features you need and what you consider

if you have /var/www/html/ defined as documentroot, as you mentioend
then outside is anything outside the directory html/  so /var/www/php/

Anywhere that's not inside /var/www/html will do, and as long as the webserver 
has access to it.

you should add the create_function, aproach i used, in that
benchmark; I've never tested it but i think it'll probably beat
both in a tight looping situation :)

Are opposed to using something different for their general HTML editing?

You might be able to convinced them that if they used something like
http://kupu.oscom.org/ that they could be anywhere and modify their
site...then you just store the data in a db..and if you use something
like Smarty, their site will be pretty flexible.

heh, think you missed the point. It's not for designing the site, it's
for your clients who don't know HTML markup and can edit their pages.

[PHP] PHP 4 equivalent for convert_uuencode

[Vidyut Luther]

Hello,
 I'm looking at the PHP manual which has http://us3.php.net/convert_uuencode
convert_uuencode as a function, but it's only a PHP 5 function. Is
there a PHP 4 equivalent for this function ?.

Really appreciate any help on this.

Well, I didn't mean speed-wise necessarily, although it means more
parsing. Much better to use a *function* which is parsed once than
include()ing or eval()ing the same code over and over to (possibly) be
re-parsed. It just makes more sense code structure-wise as well.

By evil I mean that it's used for the wrong purposes much of the time.
People aren't aware of the capabilities of the language or are simply
ignorant of good coding style and use eval because it's easy. Heck, I
used eval before I knew how to use $$ and arrays effectively. Here's a
quote that really says it well:

If eval() is the answer, you're almost certainly asking the wrong question.

The message size limit is controlled by your mailer. (postfix, sendmail,
qmail, etc).

Squirrelmail is a nice php-based interface.

Why do you have this in your save_path? this is definately not right. Try:
session.save_path = "C:/php/sessions/"

Make sure that the user that PHP is running as has full access to that
directory and restart Apache. Then try again.

*Maybe* if you *must* use this around *someone else's* code that you
are *not allowed* to change would you use this, but I simply don't
understand why you would do such a thing. You could add the function
name and the bottom part to the file and just include() it. End of
problem.

If this is a "template" that someone else is editing, I would suggest
using a templating system already out there to do the caching and such
for you. This is really a nasty hack. If you want to use PHP-style
syntax, Savant is your friend.

Though, (regardless of SQL database platform) in a case like this, it
MAY be both more straightforward and efficient to use two separate
queries for the pictures and comments, given the one-to-many cardinality
between them.  The above statement causes redundant data to be returned
- it duplicates the pics record for each new comment.  If there are many
large columns in the pics table and many comments to each record there's
a lot of redundant data in a query like that.
 

No, I think you are wrong. There was GROUP BY pics.id so it won't return
duplicate data. And probable overhead is eliminated too I think - DBserver
will optimize and will join data from pic_comments only once for each
unique pics.id.
   

The results will be something like:
id submitter count pic_id comment
1  joe4  1comment1
1  joe4  1comment2
1  joe4  1comment3
1  joe4  1comment4
2  john   0  2NULL
3  jim5  3comment6
3  jim5  3comment7
3  jim5  3comment8
3  jim5  3comment9
3  jim5  3comment10
Exactly. 

To make it REALLY obvious, I'll point out what parts of the data set 
that are redundant by replacing them with stars, using Curt's example above:

id  submitter   count pic_id  comment
1   joe 4 1   comment1
*   *   * *   comment2
*   *   * *   comment3

*   *   * *   comment7
*   *   * *   comment8
*   *   * *   comment9
*   *   * *   comment10
The actual table structure from the original poster (an ex-namesake of 
mine*) would result in seven columns with redundant data, i.e. where 
data is needlessly repeated for every picture that has two or more 
comments..  It wouldn't be hard to find worse real-world examples.

pics table:
| id | submitter | time | date | category |
pic_comments table:
| pic_id | comment |

[PHP] PHP5 - OOP Question

[Hardik Doshi]

Hello Group,

I would like to know which one is the most appropriate
way to implement the following scenario.

For example, I want to display a products catalogue of
100 products. I do have a base class of product which
contains all the basic property of the product
(Product title, product description, product price
etc)and constructor basically pulls the information
about the product from the DB based on the product
identifier (Primary key). 

Now i have two ways to display catalogue.

1. I can write only one query to pull all 100 products
information and store product information to each
product object (With out passing product id to the
constructor) into the collection and later i iterate
that collection to display product catalogue.
(Advantage: less communication with database server
and disadvantage: memory consumption is higher)

2. I can initiate an individual product object by
passing product id into the constructor and
constructor will pull an individual product
information from the DB and at the same time i can
display it (Disadvantage: Lots of communication with
database server and Advantage: memory consumption is
less) If you think about inheritance then eventually
this approach will have lots of database calls.

Please guide me as i am stuck up which way to go.

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
Hardik

[PHP] PHP5+OpenSSL extension not using args nor proper cnf extensions

[User1001]

The "openssl_csr_sign" function forces the use of certificate request
specifications in the 'openssl.cnf' (configuration) file, and completely
ignores the extension sections passed in the "configargs" array.

The (CA) signing functions allow for configuration extensions that are not
defined nor used in generating the certificate request, but
"openssl_csr_sign" does not provide for this, forcing the use of the
request extensions, 

if (req.request_extensions_section) {
X509V3_CTX ctx;

X509V3_set_ctx(&ctx, cert, new_cert, csr, NULL, 0);
X509V3_set_conf_lhash(&ctx, req.req_config);
if (!X509V3_EXT_add_conf(req.req_config, &ctx, 
req.request_extensions_section, new_cert)) {
goto cleanup;
}
}

just before signing the certificate request.


Setting the "configargs" array that the "openssl_csr_sign" function
supposedly provides for the PHP programmer to OVERRIDE definitions in the
OpenSSL configuration file don't appear to be picked up or used:


(debug output from modified openssl.c showing "req_extensions" from "req"
section of configuration file)

req.section_name: req
req.config_filename: /usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf2
req.digest_name: (null)
req.extensions_section: (null)
req.request_extensions_section: v3_req


(PHP program fragment with "openssl_csr_sign" call)

  $configargs = array("req_extensions" => "ssl_only_IT_server_cert",
"x509_extensions" => "ssl_only_IT_server_cert");
  $usercert = openssl_csr_sign($csr, $cacert, $caprivkey, 365, $configargs);


Using the OpenSSL CA.sh script, modified with desired extension sections,
works just fine in signing a certificate and adding the specific
extensions, which are NOT present in the certificate request.

If you expect the products database to grow much, then solution 2 is
your best bet to accommodate much larger numbers. If you expect that you
will only ever have a couple of hundred then solution 1 will most likely
work nicely. Either way, converting from one style to the other is
merely a matter of iterating over retrieved database rows versus
iterating over an array of pre-retrieved items. It should take you less
time than it took you write your post :)

Rob.

You can do both. You can create an object for products and have it
designed to give you details for a specific product, and then you can
have a function that will return products based on a filter...
(sometimes your users want to search for products)..so the same query
can be used but append a filter to it.

With these two options I can see why it is a tough choice. There is
another option you can take. Store the result handle of the query
from #1 into an object, and retrieve a row from the database on
demand.

abstract class DbIterator implements Iterator {

  /* for me only */
  private $current = 0;
  private $data= false;
  private $handle = null;

  /* Force extending object to define this function */
  abstract protected function &getData($handle, $function);

  public function __construct($handle) {
$this->handle = $handle;
  }

  /* Iterator Interface: */
  public function rewind() {
$this->current = 0;
db_seek($this->result, $this->current);
  }
  public function current() {
return $this->data;
  }
  public function key() {
return $this->current;
  }
  public function next() {
$this->data = $this->getData($handle, 'db_fetch_assoc');
if($this->data) {
  $this->current++;
}
return $this->data;
  }
  public function valid() {
return (this->data !== false);
  }
}


class dbProductClass extends DbIterator {
  public $id;
  public $name;
  
  public function __construct($handle) {
/* let the parent decide what to do with $handle */
parent::__construct($handle)
  }

  /* and define this required function */
  protected function &getData($handle, $func) {
$row = $func($handle);
if ($row == false ) {
  return $row;
}
$this->$id = $row['id']

if (empty($row['name']) {
  $this->name = 'Default Name';
} else {
  $this->name = $row['name'];
}
// do any special stuff here..

return &$this; 
  }

  public function tableName {
return 'People';
  }

  /* this is a no no */
  public function __set($name, $value) {
throw Execption("Attempt to write to readonly property");
  }



}

// then..
$result = db_query($sql);
$product_rows = new dbProductClass($result);

// then some more..
foreach($product_rows as $row ) {
  echo $row->field_name1;
  echo $row->field_name2;
}

This will keep communication down to a minimum and memory down to a
minimum usage as well. I hope this wasn't to much, and it is
completely untested.

Hi Justin,
the server was updated to "Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang)" which is 
pretty new compared to the RedHat9 before. ;-)

I don't have root access on the production servers, so I can't enforce a 
certain PHP version. And as there is an easy workaround, you don't have 
to change to a newer PHP version, if you encounter this bug, anyway.

With my post I just wanted to assist those who update their distribution 
and are welcomed by their PHP-applications with a non-working 
PHP-session. :-)

Folks

Has anyone running php 5.0.0 on NT ran into the MAIL() error

Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header

I have tried numerous syntax changes to sendmail_from in the PHP.INI as well as 
setting headers without
success.
