Re: [PHP] simple math computation..

[Louie Miranda]

i found the culprit. i remembered, that i use to pass the value with..

number_format($totalCost, 2, ".", ",")

so the values being received by my computation has a "," comma 4,000
so that is why i always get wrong values.

thanks again!

[PHP] different behaviour converting float to integer

[Tomas Kuliavas]

When php 5.0.2 converts float to integer, it uses biggest possible integer
value. Other php versions overflow and use negalive integers.

How to reproduce it:
echo (int)0xde120495;

Expected result (php 5.0.1, 4.3.9 and 4.1.2):

-569244523

Actual result (only php 5.0.2):
--
2147483647

Is this a standard behaviour of all future php versions or some error in php?

OS details: Linux Debian Sarge

PHP compilation details (vanilla php-5.0.2.tar.bz2):

You could just create a new function for that: alloc_no_exception
There's no need to change every call, you'd only need to change the
calls that can take a NULL result.
I find it hard to justify such function
Why?
I think a large number of data handling functions would benefit from
such a function.
And it'd make PHP more robust.

Olaf, PHP is an open source language is it not?  Since you're so smart why

Because I don't have time to fix every bug (I encounter) in every open

[PHP] Using php4 AND php5

[Dobermann]

Hi all,
I'd like to know how to install both php 4 and 5 on the same server, 
for example with .php4 and .php5 extensions.

I tried editing some part of the source code to change the way Apache 
calls php (with application/x-httpd types) but I never get apache to 
start :(

I heard about compiling one version as module and the other as cgi but 
did not try myself...

If anybody has an idea... :)
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Using php4 AND php5

[Bostjan Skufca @ domenca.com]

Compile another apache apache with php5 and make it listen on port 81, use 
different pid file and different error_log, recompile your current apache 
with modules mod_rewrite and mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http enabled. Then make 
current apache forward all .php5 requests to second apache via proxy module 
like this:

RewriteEngine   On
RewriteRule (.*)\.php5$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}:81$1.php [P]
(add this to each virtual host definition)

the trick about logs is that everything is logged with your primary apache 
server, so you do not need to open all vhost logs on your secondary apache - 
you need errorlog though :)

Bostjan

Because it is an hack to work around the lack of support for detection 
of corrupted data in zlib.

In the end you will be able to handle the failure of zlib but you will 
not be able to tell whether it failed because the file was too large to 
decompress or because it failed due to corrupted data.

I think it would be better that zlib would be able to detect corrupted 
data so you could eventually tell the user that the file is corrupted 
instead of misleading with a message saying there was not enough memory.
I know zlib itself doesn't crash due to invalid input.
However, even in that case, what do you do with valid input that causes 
out of memory errors?

[PHP] session timeout

[Philip Thompson]

Hi all.
I have users log into my site to perform certain actions. However, I 
want to create a timed session so that it automatically logs them out 
after a certain amount of time. I am using 
`session_set_cookie_params()` to create the amount of available time 
that the user is logged in.

But my question is: how do I test to see if the session has timed out? 
Once the session time has elapsed, are the $_SESSION variables 
automatically destroyed or what?

Thanks in advance,
~Philip

session.gc_maxlifetime sets the session lifetime.

Session garbage collection occurs occasionally when session_start() is called.

Cookies are not reliable, as they are client side. One can easily extend 
this period to infinity. You should instead store the login time in a 
session variable and check this variable on each request.

[PHP] PGP commands problem

[Alexandru E. Ungur]

Hi all,

I have a little problem with signing e-mails from PHP.
The little piece of code giving me headaches is this:

 $tmp_file");
exec("cat $tmp_file | pgp -sta -u Alex -o $tmp_file");
?>

If I run it from shell with 
# php -f pgp_sign.php
it works as expected, I get one temporary file containing
the unsigned data, and one secondfile with an extra ".asc"
extension, with the data signed with the chosen key.

If I run it from the browser however it just shows loading
loading..., loading... forever! It never gives an error (well,
I did not wait forever, that's true, my time on Earth is limited ;)
and it never gets "loaded" either. When I look at the files
that it should create, I see the first is created ok, but the
second is not. The test script, does belong to nobody user, 
just like the /home/nobody and just like the user the apache
is run under:

httpd.conf:
...
User nobody
Group nobody
...

PHP Safe Mode is Off and in the error log I see this:

Pretty Good Privacy(tm) Version 6.5.8

[PHP] Session.gc_maxlifetime?

[Suhas]

Hello,

I just want to make sure that I understand this concept.

When i read thr' docs,

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which
data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up

and default value is 1440.

My guess is :

A.  1440 seconds from last visit to the page (where session id is used), 
B. 1440 seconds from session_start() function call

My general understanding is a session can be idle for 1440 seconds. If
a php page tried to refer to a session which is been idle more than
1440 seconds, there is very little chance that page will access to
session data.


Can any one please explain or send links or more docs on this?

Thanks in adv,

Suhas

[PHP] bitwize '&' operator trouble

[Jim Grill]

I ran across this problem with php 5.0.2 in Linux. This problem did not exist before 
and this code was used in php 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2-dev, and several other cvs snaps 
along the way -all on Linux.

\n";

// Netmask = fullmask - number of hosts.
$netmask = pow(2, 32) - $numHosts;

print "netmask: $netmask\n";
print "human readable netmask: " . long2ip($netmask) . "\n";

// address to number
$ipLong = ip2long($ip);

print "ip2long ip: $ipLong\n";

// here is where the problem is:
print "(\$ipLong & \$netmask): ".($ipLong & $netmask)."\n";
// PHP 5.0.2-dev (cli) (built: Sep 21 2004 14:39:26)
// prints out "-1062731776"
//PHP 5.0.2 (cli) (built: Sep 24 2004 13:58:57)
// prints out "1084751872"

// ...and so the following always fails:
// If the ip is not equal to (itself & netmask) it cannot be on the network boundary
if ($ipLong != ($ipLong & $netmask))
 echo "Ip NOT on network boundary!";
else
 echo "Ip IS on network boundary!";

I'm sure there are other ways to test if an ip is on a the network boundary of a given 
CIDR and I'll appreciate any examples of that. However, I am more interested in why 
and'ing these two numbers returns a different value now. I'm unable to find any clues 
in the docs.

C is correct - 1440 seconds from session_write_close(), either called 
explicitly by your script or implicitly when your script ends. But it 
happens not long after session_start(), so you might consider it the same.

My general understanding is a session can be idle for 1440 seconds. If
a php page tried to refer to a session which is been idle more than
1440 seconds, there is very little chance that page will access to
session data.
You are right

RE: [PHP] Session.gc_maxlifetime?

[Vail, Warren]

This is my understanding;

When you use session_start(); in your script it sets a condition that will
cause a session write of the contents of the $_SESSION array to the session
repository (by default a file whose name contains the session ID) when the
script has ended.  At that time the record timestamp (file last modified
date/time) should be modified or reset to the current time.  To answer your
question below, I believe technically the timestamp is very close to the
script end time for a script containing a session_start() call (not the
actual time of the session_start() call is executed).

Periodically the gc (garbage cleanup) process is invoked, at which time all
sessions whose timestamp is checked to see how old they are and if they
precede the current timestamp minus the gc_maxlifetime value, they are to be
removed from the repository.

Notice that the processing above is accomplished when the script has ended
(sent it's last output to the browser).  By invoking the gc process at this
time it never has a direct impact on the response time or the users
experience, unless they are awfully fast with the mouse.  I have in the past
found that the GC routines are not invoked every invocation of a script, but
rather a "probability" factor causes the GC routine to be invoked on only
some percentage of the calls to session start to avoid adding needless load
to the server (i.e. say 10% of all script executions may trigger a call to
the GC routine).  To offset this I had to make sure that when
session_start() retrieved old session values (session_read), I had to add
checks to make sure I wasn't reading an old session that had expired but had
just not been cleaned up yet.

You can learn a lot about sessions by coding and testing your own
session_handler routines;

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php

There are lots of other good tutorials in books on php programming.

Hello,

I just want to make sure that I understand this concept.

When i read thr' docs,

session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number of seconds after which data will
be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up

and default value is 1440.

My guess is :

A.  1440 seconds from last visit to the page (where session id is used), 
B. 1440 seconds from session_start() function call

My general understanding is a session can be idle for 1440 seconds. If a php
page tried to refer to a session which is been idle more than 1440 seconds,
there is very little chance that page will access to session data.


Can any one please explain or send links or more docs on this?

Thanks in adv,

Suhas

Not quite. As long as a session file exists that matches the session ID passed to the 
page, it'll load the data. This occurs even if the session file is older than the 
maxlifetime limit. 

Here's how this works. By default, there is a 1% chance that a visit to a page with 
session_start() will trigger garbage collection. _IF_ garbage collection is triggered, 
it'll look in the session directory and delete session files that older than the 
maxlifetime setting (using the last access time, i think). If a request is made for a 
session ID whose matching file has been deleted, then the file is just created again, 
empty. 

Since garbage collection is triggered randomly, some session files can live for over 
the maxlifetime setting. If you have low traffic to your site, the 1% chance of 
triggering garbage collection may only occur every couple hours. So session lifetime 
will effectively be anywhere from 1440 seconds to hours. If you have a high-traffic 
site, then the lifetimes stay around the maxlifetime limit and only go over slightly. 

If you want to ensure sessions are timed out at a set time, then store the time the 
session is created within the session itself, check it upon each access for a "time 
out", and update the time upon each user action. I prefer the "good enough" solution 
of garbage collection, though, since most programs don't require a hard time out value.

[PHP] Generating MySQL Tables

[Pete]

Is MySQL off topic for this list?  If so, I apologise.

I am supplied with various text (CSV, etc) data files, which I need to
manually massage before I import into the main database.  I feel that I
can deal with them better by turning them into SQL tables first.  I know
about LOAD DATA INFILE, but this requires a table to exist, and I don't
know the format of the table until I receive the text file.

Is there any simple way of automatically creating a table and then
importing the data?

If not, I think that I will have to create a dummy table, with, say, 50
blob fields (some text fields are 'a paragraph full'), and work from
there.

Of course, it doesn't need to be fast to run.

There is a php-db list that is more on-topic than php-general, but so

Most csv files I have dealt with contained a header row.  You can
parse that out and make a create table query with it using text
fields.  You could then insert the data and have MySQL analyze and
suggest better optimal fields than the text fields.  Kind of a kludge
but if you need to be general this way woudl work although it's pretty
inefficient compared to knowing the data up front.

You might want to check out the PEAR File package, it does a lot of
the same things you will be doing:

[PHP] Function declaration failing on return value

[Whil Hentzen]

Don't get too excited; this is an awfully lame newbie question.

I'm trying out my first functions and can't get past some sort of stupid 
syntax mistake I'm making. I've cut the following snippet directly out of the 
online PHP manual and put it in a PH page, like so:


Test function

Square of number/b>

 





When I run the php page, I get

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_RETURN in /var/www/html/afi/sq.php on 
line 12

I've experimented with a half dozen different functions and variations, and 
I'm always getting the same 'unexpected T_RETURN' error. This is pretty basic 
but I'm outa clues.

I've searched the archives for the last 3 mo for T_RETURN (and user-defined 
functions) as well as the online doc; no relevant hits.

[PHP] Question about handling credit cards

[Ed Lazor]

I'm looking at online stores and it seems like a lot of them maintain copies
of credit card numbers.  Is this true?  That seems like a "bad thing" to me,
especially in terms of liability and risk of hackers.  On the flip side, it
seems like there are legitimate reasons.  For example, if you bill the
customer when products ship, rather than when the order is received.  Or, if
the customer decides to have instock items ship now and back ordered items
ship when they arrive - which results in two shipping charges.

How do you guys handle this?

Re: [PHP] Question about handling credit cards

The best way to store credit card numbers is to have them encrypted when
they are stored in the database, and decrypted when they need to be
used, that way it will be safer for the most part

I cut this directly out of the online manual and put it into my PHP page. If 
I've got a typo, then there's an error in the manual.

I also cut the entire PHP page into my email. Nothing missing or hidden.

I'm stumped.

I retyped everything in changed all the names... now it works. Looks like 
there are hidden chars in the html that I cut out from the online manual.

"That's weird".

[PHP] PHP "make install" writes to httpd.conf

[Robert Cummings]

Anyway to choke PHP's behaviour of adding the following to httpd.conf
when you make install:

LoadModule php4_module /some_dumb_location/libphp4.so

I use a customized layout for my compilations, and this always messes
things up since apache doesn't complain about the location, and then it
stops accepting connections on the configured ports. At any rate, I
don't think it's PHP's business to be modifying my httpd.conf file
without my say so, or at least it should give me an option to opt out :)

PHP even ignores that my httpd.conf has perms 444 *heh*.

[PHP] Recursive Interpolation

[Chuck Wolber]

Greetings,

I've seen a few posts from the middle of last year discussing the problem 
of recursive interpolation:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=105543152906744&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=105542523331255&w=2

It seems there's a HEREDOC method of hacking through this problem. In the 
meantime, is there any other way?

Here's a description of a problem I'm having and how it would be nice to 
see it solved:

Database *FIELD* with text data in it. The text data contains sentences 
interspersed with $foo['bar'] array variables. The idea is that when one 
selects this field, PHP will interpolate $foo['bar'] with the currently 
defined $foo array variable. This allows for "form letter" like dispatches 
to be created.

Given a variable $text that contains data retrieved with array variables, 
It'd be useful to see something: $text_i = interpolate($text) which 
recursively interpolates based on variables in the current namespace.

Granted, this opens up a *WHOLE* mountain of problems (circular references 
anyone?). Is there any traction on an idea like this? Any other solutions 
that aren't so hackish as HEREDOCs?

Thanks,

[PHP] something wrong with $_SERVER var

[Merlin]

Hi there,
I am experiencing a strange behaviour with $_SERVER vars.
Somehow the var: $_SERVER[SERVER_PORT]  seems to be 443 even if
it is 80. I had following statement inside my app:
if ($_SERVER[SERVER_PORT] == '443' AND !$SSL){
header("Location:http://".$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST].$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]);
exit;
}
This was to redirect ssl url to standard protocol (due to relative links on the 
page).

Some users with IE could not load any pages anymore (ssl was disabled). The 
normal url was not loadable and only a white screen showed up. Did not happen 
with firefox most of the time. But why?? The server port was not 443 so the 
statemetn could never become true?!

Any ideas? I am lost :-(

What is a "html textarea replacement script" ?

I could be wrong but it sounds like javascript, not PHP.

You can start by putting a space between the "Location:" and the rest of 
your URL.

[PHP] email templating system

[adwinwijaya]

Hello php-general,

Currently I use Smarty for page templating system, and I am happy with
this. But is there any way to produce a file with smarty instead of
displaying it as a page.

I want to use this as email templating, I want to create an email and
I have a template like smarty and I want to assign it just like
smarty. Is there any templating system that suitable for me ?


Example:
[email.tpl]

Hello {$user},

Welcome to {$name_of_web}

regards,
{$system_administrator}

[email.php]

$email->assign('user', $user);
$email->assign('system_administrator', $system_administrator);
$email->assign('name_of_web', $name_of_web);
$email->send('/templates/email.tpl') ;

i'm trying to return values/information from a perl app to a php app. what's
the best way??

foo.php

$vars

the issue i'm having is that perl only seems to allow an app to have an

arrarys. should i simply write the perl return values into an output file,
and read the output vars from the output file in the php file...

Yes, that is what you mean. fetch() is going to parse the smarty "email" 
template (where you have your IF, FOR, smarty variables, etc) and return 
the parsed template to you. Then you stick that into mail().

If you want to use $email->send(), then you'll have to modify the smarty 
class or write a class that extends smarty and implements the send() 
method.

There are some notes on the apache_note() manual page that suggest it 
could be useful. Perhaps you could put a serialized value into an apache 
note in Perl and then retrieve it in PHP?

how does using serialize allow the information from the perl app to be used
by the php parent app. unless you're implying that the serialized
information is stored in an external file, that's then read by the php

I believe that PHP has facilities for executing external processes and saving 
the text of the output (I've done just a sprinkling of PHP, so I'm limited 
there). But if that is the case, there is nothing preventing you from having 
the Perl application print out the desired data in a structured format 
(comma-separated values, tab-separated, or even mock-XML) and having the PHP 
then parse it. Indeed, if you output it as XML, I believe that PHP has classes 
built-in that would allow you to effectively go straight to having a DOM 
representation of the data.

The method I've come up with in the meantime, I believe is much more 
effective than heredocs, but still an ugly hack:


function interpolate ($text, $msg_variable) {
$msg_key = '_FP_VAR_';
   
   
foreach (array_keys($msg_variable) as $key) {
$token = $msg_key.$key;
$text = preg_replace("/$token/", "$msg_variable[$key]", $text);
}
   
   
return ($text);
}

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

[Gnanavel]

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. Only quote the relevant parts of
an email when replying. Do not Quote
everything (including huge code snippets) 
only to say "I agree", for instance.
[contribued by Paul Waring]

10. 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]

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

12. 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).
[contributed by Burhan Khalid]

Following these guidelines will ensure that 
you get effective responses from the list
members. Otherwise, your questions might not 
be answered.

Hope you have a good time programming with 
PHP.

What's ugly about it?  I saw your earlier post I was actually planning on
responding and suggesting something exactly like you just came up with.  My
version had the $token surrounded by markers, such as

This is a ?:token:?

but that's the only difference.  I think it's fairly clean and logical.

The only problem I can see with this approach is that it's inefficient as
$msg_variable gets larger or the $text gets larger, since you're iterating
through every key of the former, even if the token isn't in $text, and you
run preg_replace() once for each token, but that shouldn't hurt you unless
you really have a heavy traffic site, IMHO.

I toyed around with using preg_replace_callback() for this eariler, but the
only problem with it is that you can't create a callback that accepts more
than just one variable (the array of matches).  This means I couldn't get
the equivalent of your $msg_variable passed to the callback, so I had to
make it global in the callback function (yuk).  If it weren't for that it'd
be a perfect solution, because preg_replace_callback would only be called
once and the function wouldn't need to iterate through all of $msg_variable.
It's times like that that I miss Perl's more powerful variable scoping
rules.  Ah well...

RE: [PHP] Best and easy html text area replacement tool?

[Warren Vail]

I guess I have no patience with the "topic police" since it's difficult to
develop a good PHP "user interface" without the use of JavaScript, and I
consider anything that involves getting the most out of PHP "on topic", but
since I'm in charge of absolutely nothing, all I can do is provide a little
information.

I've actually used a couple of these JavaScript add-on's and like the
structure and reliability of HTMLAREA.

http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/

It provides a nice plug-in interface that other developers have used to make
JavaScript extensions available that includes;
* Image Upload Manager
* Spell Checking (On a Unix/Linux host)
* Enhanced Table Formatting
* Multiple Language Capability (haven't look too close at this one)
* Even something for Audio (haven't looked at this, either)
* And probably some that I haven't mentioned (doing this from memory).

And the price is the same as PHP (free).

Good luck,

Warren Vail
