[PHP] Limiting character input in

[Garth Hapgood - Strickland]

Unlike the input fields that use maxlength to define the number of character
allowed. Textarea doesnt seem to have that capability. I want to limit the
number of character to 255.

IS there any way of doing this without having to break my neck about it?

[PHP] Loading an extension

[Octavian Rasnita]

Hi all,

 I want to add an extension (CURL, mysql) to a php program without
specifying it in php.ini (because on some servers I might not have the right
to modify that configuration file).

I have tried using the dl() function, but here is an error I get on the
browser when doing this:

Warning: dl() [
function.dl]:
Not supported in multithreaded Web servers - use extension=ext/php_mysql.dll
in your php.ini in D:\broker\html\cotatii.php on line 6

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in
D:\broker\html\cotatii.php on line 8

Thank you.

Client-side, only with JavaScript.

Server-side, just count how many characters they have entered:

if (strlen($textarea_content) > 255)
{
   echo "Error message here";
}

[PHP] php.ini

[lister]

(on windows) can someone tell me where to define which php.ini gets used?

On my dev box, I installed the zend editor. Now when i do a
  localhost/phpinfo()
from a normal browser window (ie not from within the zend IDE) it says php
is using the <..>/zend/php.ini settings file...

within apache's httpd.conf you can set which php DLL to use, but I cannot
see how php then knows which .ini file to work with? It seems to be
picking up the php.ini from a completely different directory somewhere, so
i am wondering if the zend installer sets some secret registry value that
the php.dll is looking for?

I would have thot something like:

httpd.conf >
  extension=php5.dll

then the dll looks for a php.ini in the same directory.
or does it look in the  or something?


On windows, I installed php/apache etc using the webserv project, if this
is relevant. it seems to give a clean setup of apache, mysql, php etc.

Thanks!

The clue is in the error.

Whatever web server you are using on your Windows box doesn't support
the dl() function (because, as it says, it's multi-threaded), so you
HAVE to set it via an extension command in the php.ini file.

If there is a php.ini file in the php root directory, then that gets
used. Otherwise, the php.ini file in C:\Windows (iirc).  If the php
interpreter (or dll) cannot find any php.ini file, it uses built-in
defaults.

This is because that's the file that it found first (ie, search order).
Zend installs its own php binaries (unless you do a custom setup).

I don't mess with those all-in-one-can installers, but you should read
the documentation and/or install log to see what it has installed where.

It doesn't use a registry setting, I can guarantee you that.

It uses whatever you have defined as your system paths. Open a command
prompt and type in "path" and have a look.

It will search these paths in order and then the local directory too.
I can almost guarantee you have your Windows system32 directory and
standard Windows directory in there already.

If you look in there, I'm very sure you'll find a php.ini file.

I use Zend 3.5 and Apache 1.3 locally too (XP and OSX). I have two
different Apache conf files, one for PHP4 and one for PHP5. Then in my
Windows directory I have two ini files - php4.ini and php5.ini along
with the required php DLLs (there are only 2, one per version, the
extensions remain in the source directory).

When I want to swap from PHP4 to 5 for development I have a small
batch script that copies the respective ini/conf file and restarts
Apache. Works nicely.

You can also set this up (via the path I mentioned above) so it gets
the DLLs from another location, maybe something like c:\php4, but
personally the above works for me, allows switching between the two
versions quickly and it's painless, so there's no reason to change it.

Best regards,

Richard Davey

Hello,

I write to you because I want to ask you something
about PHP extensions.

The problem is that when I start my web server, PHP
module gives me an error: "PHP Startup: Unable to load
dynamic library '...' - The specified module could not
be found". BUT THEY ARE!!! A part of my php.ini file
is:

;;

  extension=php_exif.dll

These lines starting with semicolon shows modules i
was not able to load. I have heared that if you want
to load some modules, you have to load other modules
first. So i tried to shift modules, which i could not
load, to the end of the list. It worked out only for
the php_exif.dll module. Others still do not work.

The question is...what do i have to do to get them
working?
(well in fact i only want to start php_mysql.dll)

PS.: my system is:
OS: WinXP Pro
WEB: Apache v2.0.50, PHP v5.0.2

 You're like pulling the same results from the same query/resultset 
twice (..and stuff). You can't do that, man. You have to redo the query.

See magic_quotes to have it done for you. Although this isn't a
recommend approach if you plan to distribute your application, in
which case mysql_escape_string() is the one.

[PHP] Converting to integer

[Octavian Rasnita]

Hi all,

I get some values from a MySQL table and some of them are in the format
1000.0, 234.0, etc.

I want those values converted as 1000, 234, and so on, but the other string
values need to remain the same.

I have tried using the function is_numeric to test which of the values
returned from MySQL are numbers, but none of them appear to be a number, so
I cannot convert them.

Thank you for any tips.

Use intval($value) to get the integer value.

Because, unless you cast it otherwise, MySQL always returns strings.

You can use either:

$num = intval($mysql_num);

or just cast it:

$num = (int) $mysql_num;

Use PEAR's DB or MDB2 libraries with prepared statements and

$sql = "INSERT INTO someTable(value1, value2) VALUES(?, ?)";
$ins = $db->query($sql, array($value1, $value2));

Just a comment :

Note:  This function (mysql_escape_string) has been deprecated since
PHP 4.3.0. Do not use this function. Use mysql_real_escape_string() 
instead.

So, if you're coding new scripts is better to use mysql_real_escape_string().

Jordi.

If you're using Apache 2 (does not work with Apache 1.3)... then you
can put a directive in httpd.conf:

PHPIniDir c:/php

Re: [PHP] Date handling

[Robert Sossomon]

I'm guessing Red Hat Enterprise or at least the kernel I'm using (which is
the latest RH kernel) qualifies under the Linux category above.  Also, with
the application I'm writing, I need to deal with dates after 2038 too.  So
that is why I'm investigating alternatives - just because I'd like something
that would definitely work on any platform and is 'official' as much as
possible - rather than have my date handling be OS-specific.

How are you entering the date into the Table?  Could you not just rewrite the 
page so that the date information is entered differently, then format it in the 
correct way and dump it into the table?  I would think that it would work to 
solve your problem in dealing with dates, but that is just a guess here.

HTH,
Robert

[PHP] Question on query string

[Stuart Felenstein]

I hope this is a reasonable question:


This is the query string my search page is kicking out
to the results page.  It works fine but curious about
these codes or characters. And I know this maybe
unrelated to PHP, so I'll apologize in advance:
Why is each value preceeded by the %5B%5D ?  I think
the % is for wildcards, but for the life of me can't
figure out what 5B and 5D stand for.

Ind%5B%5D=2&Ind%5B%5D=3&Ind%5B%5D=4&Ind%5B%5D=5..

Thank you 
Stuart

[PHP] copy() not working

[Peter Lauri]

Best groupmember,

I am implementing a script to upload a file to my webserver. I am using this
form that I copied from a working application:

echo '';
echo '';
echo '';

To handle the form I am using this script...

if($File) {
  if(copy($File, $File_name)) {
   echo 'The image was not uploaded!';
  } else {
   echo 'The file was not uploaded!';
  }
 }

It does not even enter the if($File) part (checked it witch echos).

The php-info() can be seen at www.devdws.com/phpinfo.php

Is there anyone that see any errors in the problem? I have checked severeal
manuals and this is how it should be.

- The Best Of Times

[PHP] AW: AW: Bug #30792 [Opn->Bgs]: LDAP module could not be found

[zengerf]

Hello again

Sorry for mailing you directly, I will use the php-general account from now.

Yes I really did copy the modules to system32 (and on the windows folder 
directly too), that does not help. And I reproduced the same error on a second 
server.
And as I said, the oci8 module works without any problems. But when I delete 
the semicolon before the extension entry for ldap and restart IIS, I get this 
error message:

"PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'C:\PHP\ext\php_ldap.dll' - The specified module could not be found." (and of 
course it is there!)

I use PHP since years and I installed it several times. Today I use PHP4.3 as 
ISAPI module because the ldap module with oci8 does not work as cgi under IIS.
And I thought that you do not use windows ;-) that's why I reported this error.
I just want to help! 
But I can run my apps under PHP4.3 or on an Apache. 

It's up to you to fix it or not.
Thank you anyway.

Greetings
F. Zenger

[PHP] XML + PHP is going to eat my shorts

[Jay Blanchard]

Okie dokieI have to parse an XML file and I continue to RTFM, STFW,
and STFA. So I do this...

/* let's parse! */
if($readXML = fopen(XMLDIR."testRecp.xml", "r")){
while($lineXML = fread($readXML, 4096)){
xml_parse($covadParser, $lineXML, feof($readXML));
$darn =
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($covadParser));
echo "XML Error " . $darn . "\n";

}
} else {
echo "COULD NOT READ XML FILE\n";
}

And when the pareser hits the first line of the XML file ...



... it throws an error from xml_get_error_code

"syntax error"

I have done ini_set("short_open_tag", 0);
All of my functions and directives are in place for the xml parser.
I have beaten my forehead against the wall.
I have searched and googled and read and screamed.

Can anyone help me get over this extremely frustrating hump?

This has to be done with JavaScript or some client-side scripting

Re: [PHP] Date handling

Stuart,

The % is an escape character to let the browser know that the character isn't 
allowed in a URL.  The browser then looks at the next 2 characters as a hex 
code for the ASCII character which should be there.

So for %5B, it really is '[', and %5D really is ']'.

You can see what all the ASCII codes are here:
http://www.asciitable.com/

Do you have Register Globals turned on or off?

If they are off (as they should be), this script will not work.

You should really use move_uploaded_file() to move the file rather
than copy.

And check the $_FILES array for your file name, size, etc.

Thanks for the info, will check it out.  I also saw one at

some money.  But I did the trial download to see if it is flexible enough

Hard to tell without seeing the XML source, but could it be a case of
whitespace and/or case-folding? (both of which caught me out on my
first XML project) - I had to use the following:

xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
xml_parser_set_option($this->parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1);

RE: [PHP] Date handling

[Mike]

Ryan,

I had those problems in the past and to simply avoid the matter altogether,
when I store dates I just do so with the time() function.

$cur_date = time();

That way, when I poll the DB, I have a timestamp that I can then use date()
to format in whatever manner I wish.

I haven't run into any problems doing it this way.

About your specific question, if you want to use your preexisting date
format you'll have to do some string manipulation to pull apart the month,
date and year and then format it how you want to. You'll likely have to use
a switch to swap the month from the numeric representation to the text
abbreviation.

But no matter what you do, if you want some flexibility, you'll have to
either change the format in the DB or just do it all on the fly in your
script because the date() function expects you to pass it a timestamp.

You may be able to come up with something clever using strtotime() however.

the *_real_* one takes into account charset of the current connection,

See magic_quotes to have it done for you. Although this isn't a
recommend approach if you plan to distribute your application, in
which case mysql_escape_string() is the one.
Just a comment :
Note:  This function (mysql_escape_string) has been deprecated since
PHP 4.3.0. Do not use this function. Use mysql_real_escape_string()
instead.
So, if you're coding new scripts is better to use mysql_real_escape_string().

Jordi.

[PHP] Array unset

[Bruno B B Magalhães]

Hi,
I my system can handle invisible modules, so they can't show in the  
menu but stills works... here is the code:

$c = count($modules)-1;
for($i = 0; $i <= $c; $i++)
{
if($modules[$i]['moduleVisibility'] == 0)
{
unset($modules[$i]);
}
}
	$m = 0;
	$c = count($modules)-1;
	
	for($i = 0; $i <= $c ; $i++)
	{
		if($modules[$i]['modulePath'] ==  
$framework->modules->module['modulePath'])
		{
			$output .= '
			';
		}
		else
		{
			$output .= '
			';
		}
		
		if($framework->output->get_config_vars('modulename'.str_replace('  
','',$modules[$i]['moduleName'])))
		{
			$output .=  
$framework->output- 
>get_config_vars('modulename'.$modules[$i]['moduleName']);
		}
		else
		{
			$output .= $modules[$i]['moduleName'];
		}
		
		$output .= '';
		
		if($i < $c)
		{
			$output .= '|';
		}
		
		$m++;
		$m++;
	}

	$output .= '';
	return $output;
	
The problem is that when I delete an specific array, it outputs  
something like this:

(
[0] => Array
(
[moduleId] => 4
[moduleName] => Contents
[modulePath] => contents
[moduleAliasPath] =>
[moduleController] => administration
[moduleLevel] => 5
[moduleOrder] => 0
[moduleVisibility] => 1
[moduleType] => none
[moduleStatus] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[moduleId] => 1
[moduleName] => System
[modulePath] => system
[moduleAliasPath] =>
[moduleController] => administration
[moduleLevel] => 5
[moduleOrder] => 2
[moduleVisibility] => 1
[moduleType] => default
[moduleStatus] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[moduleId] => 2
[moduleName] => Logout
[modulePath] => logout
[moduleAliasPath] =>
[moduleController] => administration
[moduleLevel] => 5
[moduleOrder] => 3
[moduleVisibility] => 1
[moduleType] => alias
[moduleStatus] => 1
)
)
So, the question, how resort the numeric values to 1,2,3,4?

Bruno

Php doesn't do anything like this...unless you post a form. Try

[PHP] Is Perl faster than PHP?

Hi there,
it came to my attention that most of the high traffic portals are using perl in 
the backend. Those sites do also apear to me to be very fast in comparison to 
most php sites. Are there any known performance comperissons between the two 
available? Or can one say that PHP or Perl is faster about x percent in general

Does the XML file validate? Maybe post a complete file (or if too long

I had looked at the docs, but didn't check out "Zend", since that word

It is a large delphi library I want to call from PHP, so I don't think
it is easier.

Re: [PHP] Date handling

[Ryan]

Yes, but time() returns a Unix timestamp which has a limit of 2038.  For 
example, what if I would like to calculate the date of 40 years from today? 
I can't do that with the normal PHP date functions.  I would have to use 
PEAR Date or something similar, which is my original question - of what is 
the 'official' PHP way to handle this as calculations with dates is a common 
thing to do.

It really depends on how you're running them.. is PHP or Perl running in
mod_* or is it running as a CGI?

Which is quicker to program in?

Yahoo uses php for some of their stuff, I would say that is a pretty
high traffic site.

[PHP] weekly email idea

[Robby Russell]

On some of the general lists (like I am on the python list), they have a
weekly email that someone puts together and sends out to the list with
tips and urls to things found throughout the week on the mailing list.
People post valuable links and information and it would be a quick
overview of the past week in URLs/quotes/etc.

I'd be happy to take this on initially (the python passes it around to
the more active people every once in a while), just wondering if you
think it would be worthwhile or not. We could even have, "best
javascript question of the week" section in the email. ;-)

Thoughts? I looked over the past several months and saw nothing like
this happening so I thought I'd put the idea out there and would be
happy to try it out for a few weeks. I don't think one email a week
would flood our inbox so any other concerns, comments or suggestions?

Cheers,

-Robby

[PHP] How to path global object

[Hongwei Li]

Hi,

I have a question of how to path global object's values.  Below are some
simplified codes.  It has 4 pieces:

1. tsstart.php: -- this is the start point to be browsed



2. tsdata.php: -- to get data, here I set it as a 2-d array and assign
values to it to simplify the code



3. tsshow.php: -- display the values of $obj:

";
?>

 

 First Row: 
 Second Row: 

Next 
 

4. tsnext.php: -- to display the next 2-d array element's value:

";
include "tsshow.php";
?>

Now, when I browse tsstart.php, it displays:
result-set index: 0
  First Row: 0
  Second Row: 2
and the link "Next"

However, when I click the link "Next", it displays:
new ind: 1
result-set index: 1
  First Row:
  Second Row:

no values are displayed.  Apparently, $obj is not pathed to tsnext.php and
tsshow.php (the second time), but $ind is.  What is wrong in the above
codes?  Can somebody help me?

I greatly appreciate all help!

But you know your library and you have it under control so maybe it's 
easier to write C include files to interface your Kylix library from C 
instead of writing Delphi-Units to interface PHP from Kylix.

So I would try to first implement a C interface (or C++ if it has OO) 
for your Delphi library and then write a simple PHP extension which uses 
this C/C++ interface to use your delphi lib.

When you're building a query string then (in general) there is no need for 
urldecode(). On the contrary you want to use urlencode(), this is done on the 
*value* of the individual parameters.

And about this:  $_POST["Ind[]"], it's obvious you haven't absorbed what I 
said about this particular construct. Please re-read my previous post 
regarding this and try to understand it.

> Or should I do a $_GET['Ind'] = urlencode('Ind') on

If the URL on the searchpage was constructed properly then on 
searchresults.php the values passed can be read from $_GET directly with no 
further processing (ie no need for urldecode() and other such nonsese) on 
your part. But remember, you still need to validate the data you get from 
$_GET (and in general from $_POST etc) before you use them.

[PHP] splitting string

[Afan Pasalic]

I  create a string from other strings:
$string = $string1."\n".$string2."\n".$string3."\n".$string4."\n".$string5;
and then store it in DB.
But, I can't figure out how to split them back?
Tried:
$string_back = explode('\n', $string);
$string_back = explode('', $string);
$string_back = explode('', $string);
Anu help?
Also, is there actially better way to do this then adding \n between 
strings?
(e.g. store form fields name, address, city, state, zip, phone, email as 
a one string in db and later pull them from DB and split them back?)

Thanks for any help!

[PHP] http header script to stimluate upload with drag and drop??

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi!

I wonder is is it possible to have an http header that would stimluate
files/folders upload via dragging over to the browser window?  If so then
what are the sample functions or scripts that make this possible...

URL encoding and decoding is done completely outwith PHP in this case -- the
encoding to %xx is done by the browser, and automatically decoded by the Web
server on the way through to PHP.  You should never see the %xx versions in
your script, and will have no need of urldecode().

The main problem with the above snippet that I can see is that there's very
unlikely to be such a thing as $_POST["Ind[]"] -- form fields with
name="Ind[]" will turn up as an array in $_POST["Ind"] ($_POST["Ind"][0],
$_POST["Ind"][1], etc.).  But the whole snippet looks very odd -- why are
you trying to pass POSTed values as GET variables on (I presume) a form
action??  Can you post a little context to the list to give us some idea
what you're really trying to do.

Cheers!

Re: [PHP] link in ModalDialog

[vlad georgescu]

first of all thanks for response.

and second, some clarification. i have a main window (with a txtarea -
html-editor), from this page I want to open a little page
(upload_img.php) to handle the uploadimg2-onserver and return
path2img-onserver (where was uploaded) on close.

showModalDialog in js open a page in modal mode (on top). this type of
window can return a value (the parent is waiting until child is
closed), but, as I telling you, any link/redirect in modal window
opens a new one instead of opening in the same window. due to this I
can't use POST in upload_img.php.

the solution was in using a non-modal window for upload_img.php, and
returning result with js opener reference
(opener.document.forms[0].htmled.value+= "";)

regards,

Re: [PHP] Is Perl faster than PHP?

[Brent Baisley]

Since both Perl and PHP are scripting languages, I don't think you 
could definitively say one is faster than the other. First and foremost 
it's the talent of the coder that makes a program fast or slow. Perl 
has been around a lot longer and so the libraries (i.e. CPAN) are more 
refined and optimized. For instance, I would say Perl DBI is faster at 
accessing databases than PHP's PEAR.  You don't have to use PEAR if you 
find the overhead too much. And you don't have to use DBI, but DBI is 
so mature I don't know why you wouldn't want to. You could also get 
"compilers" for both languages to speed up your site.

I've seen some really slow Perl sites and some really slow PHP sites. 
The learning curve for PHP is far easier than that for Perl, so you 
probably have many more people using PHP for their sites that aren't 
really that good at scripting. And how many of those slow PHP sites 
were generated from Dreamweaver? If you did extensive tests, I would 
say Perl would probably come out ahead. But that doesn't mean you can't 
create a PHP site that is really fast.

Sorry, I know I didn't answer your question.

Mike - 
Not sure what context would be useful.  The form
action is set to $_GET method.  I should have noticed
POST in there but set those urldecodes via Dreamweaver
bindings.  If you know what those are. Originally the
form was $_POST.  Now -  method="get"  
The search.php form really does nothing with the
arrays.  In searchresults.php I am grabbing the
variables like this:

$HTTP_GET_VARS['Ind']
if (count($Ind) > 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$s_Ind = "'".implode("','", $Ind)."'";

use "\n" instead of '\n'. Special characters and variables between 
single quotes aren't replaced with their ACTUAL meanings, while they are 
when the text is between DOUBLE quotes. So, using "\n" you get a NewLine 
character; using '\n' you will get the raw text '\n' (no quotes)

Double quotes will cause the value to be evaluated as a newline
character.  The single quotes will not.  Use "\n" instead like you did
when you made the string.

You can use whatever works.  I use the pipe | character, it's pretty
standard and I've never seen it used as anything except a delimiter.

Actually it seems like the Zend IDE installed another apache server. But
the situation is more confusing.

When I start my standard apache server (dbl-click the binary itself to
make sure no windows services are redirecting), it is not looking for a
php.ini in the same folder as the binary. It reads in
C:/dev/Zend/etc/php.ini

I think I tracked down the issue to setting which httpd.conf apache looks
for. the directory setup is:

apache/
   /conf/httpd.conf

but this file seems to not be getting used, rather it is using the other
apache install...

1 apache binary
  2 looks for an httpd.conf (search order?)
3 which has a line where to load a php.dll
  4 php.ini is looked for next to the php.dll
 5 php.ini says where to find other php extensions etc.

so somewhere tween 1 and 2 there is a redirect i cannot track down.

i guess its not really a PHP issue, more an apache/zend IDE installer
thing but appreciate any tips...

Zend installs its own php binaries (unless you do a custom setup).

Notice that you used "\n" when creating $string? Do the same here.

You're not using your database like it should be used. Each invidually 
identifiable item should be stored in a separate column. Lumping everything 
into one column makes it harder to extract and process data. Google for 
"normalise table tutorial", or "normalize table tutorial" if you want things 
from a mainly American point of view.

It's returning an array, not an object (I can't speak as to how the
odbc_fetch_object function behaves - it seems poorly documented, but it
looks like you get back something more fancy than a simple object with
named variables).

In short, use odbc_fetch_array and refer to the items as
$rows["COLUMNNAME"] (or use single quotes).

[Scott Fletcher]

I have written lot of http header scripts myself, so I'm familiar with what
they are used for.

Hello all. I have created a few PHP pages on our website where users 
can go a fill out a simple form and submit it to our support 
department using the post method. For users on PC's, this works 
flawlessly. I am getting complaints from people who use Macintosh who 
say that they are not able to type in certain fields. The fields in 
question are text boxes. There is not anything special about the code 
(snippet at the end of this email). They are hitting the issue using 
Safari, Netscape, or IE and with varying versions of each. Has anyone 
out there run into this before?

Thanks

Re: [PHP] splitting string

[Brent Baisley]

The problem is that you are using single quotes, so php is looking for 
a literal \n rather than escaping it to a new line character. Try 
double quotes and then PHP will parse the contents of the quotes, 
looking for escape characters and  variables.
explode("\n")

Use nl2br() to convert new lines to .

I  create a string from other strings:

$string1."\n".$string2."\n".$string3."\n".$string4."\n".$string5;
and then store it in DB.

But, I can't figure out how to split them back?
Tried:
$string_back = explode('\n', $string);
$string_back = explode('', $string);
$string_back = explode('', $string);
Anu help?
Also, is there actially better way to do this then adding \n between 
strings?
(e.g. store form fields name, address, city, state, zip, phone, email 
as a one string in db and later pull them from DB and split them 
back?)

Thanks for any help!
