答复: [PHP] Re: upload file warning

[yangshiqi]

All right.
I know that it exactly does what it is, and can't be really caught directly
since this happens before the script gets control.
After display_errors = off, I can pick it up from error logs.

Thanks all.

what do you *think* is wrong :| I mean... just *read* the warning :S
And can I catch the exceeded file error before it is

a) it's checked for size and discarded immediately
b) the file is never passed 'back' to the client. It just disappears 
into the abyss that is /dev/null

[PHP] File-handling

[gustav]

Hi there!

Can someone explain the major difference between fgets and fopen? Which is
the best together with plain textfiles? and why?

eof and feof. What's the difF? *don't get it*

When using fget. Is it something special you should think when taking care
of line-breaks? (/n, /r/n ...)

[Ian Firla]

fgets uses the resource created by fopen.

Read the manual:

http://it.php.net/fopen

http://it.php.net/fgets

look at the example:

[PHP] mysql sessions vs flat file?

[Jason Morehouse]

Hello all,
Has anyone had an experience with storing sessions in mysql (or sqlite)? 
 If so, what if any are the performance benefits?  Obviously, there 
would have to be an extra db query per page... but would that be faster 
then opening a text file?

Also, I was trying to post to the php news server, but my messages 
weren't showing up.  Is it read only?  Or just slow?

Cheers,
-J

[PHP] Refreshing page after form submission

[S.D.Price]

Hi, I have a form which when submitted adds a record to a DB. However if
the user clicks back it resubmits the same record.

I have tried using cache control to no avail :

header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header ("Last-Modified:" . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s"). " GMT");
header ("Cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must revalidate");
header("Cache-control: post-check=0, pre-check=0, false");
header ("Pragma: no-cache");
session_cache_limiter("nocache");

I also tried testing for the presence of a submit button so if the user
enters data submits the form and clicks back the page will refresh.

";
} else { 
} 
?>

The problem is I need to display a confirmation message after the user
submits, and with this technique the page always redisplays the (empty)
form after submission.

Any ideas?



Steve

Speed depends on several factors and I would not comment on it. One of 
the main advantages of placing session information in the database is 
that your web application can then be clustered more easily.  The other 
advantage is that if you are on a shared hosting enviorenment there some 
measure of additional protection for your session data when it's stored 
in the database.
The main disadvantage is that you are complicating your application a 
bit and session management errors may become harder to track.

Also, I was trying to post to the php news server, but my messages

I can heartily recommend SciTE (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html)
i believe it has the features you desire, plus, there is a version customised
for php, available here http://amip.tools-for.net/SciTE-CVS.exe

Sure... just acquire the exclusive lock like you would for writing to a 
file, but do the delete / move instead.  Your apps must actually try to 
flock before *every* file operation though if you expect the locking 
system to work.

Yes, have your scripts attempt to lock a separate lock file before performing
deleting or moving operations.

Re: [PHP] Question

[Ligaya Turmelle]

I assume by edit you mean change the value to something completely new. 
 If you are having the user input the new value you 1) must make sure 
it is valid input and 2)move it into the array value (maybe set the 
array as a session variable so it crosses over to the next page instead 
of being re initialized).

Maybe something like:
if(isset($_POST['submit']){
// make sure the input is valid first
$_SESSION['config']['email'] = $_POST['email'];
$_SESSION['config']['meta_author'] = $_POST['author'];
}
if (!isset($_SESSION['config'])){
$_SESSION['config']= array(
'email' => 'E-mail',
'meta_author' => 'Author')
}

[PHP] Problem with loose typing

[Chris Boget]

Consider the following:

  function test() {
static $i = 0;

$i++;
$retval = ( $i <= 10 ) ? $i : '';

return $retval;

  }
  while( $bob = test()) {
echo $bob . '';

  }

You would expect the while loop to go on forever just looking
at the above code.  However, what's happening is that when the
empty string is getting returned due to $i being > 10, the while
loop is resolving FALSE when $bob is set to the value of the
empty string.
Is there any way that I can force this not to happen?  That the
while loop resolves as FALSE only when the function actually
returns a (boolean) FALSE value?

thnx,
Chris

You need to http://php.net/urlencode anything you echo into a HIDDEN INPUT
so that the HTML tags in it don't get used by the browser display
rendering engine.

When you send out the FORM the first time, create a random unique value:
$token = md5(uniqid());
Store that token in your database in a table.
Include that in an INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN with a random unique VALUE=""
When you process the form, mark that $token in the database as "Submitted"
If they attempt to re-process the same form (IE, the $token is already
"Submitted") then you can do something, or nothing, or whatever you think
best.

> I have tried using cache control to no avail :

Browsers and cache control have a turbulent history, and while they are
really nifty for getting good browsers to refresh content, they are not
real reliable.

If you *need* more control over content caching, change your URLs, perhaps
randomly, when you want content to not be cached.

I wouldn't, but apparently you do. :)

while ( ($bob = test()) !== false ) {
  echo $bob . '';
}

should do the trick.

[PHP] How to verify the file after the FTP transfer???

[Scott Fletcher]

Hi!  I'm now stuck on how to verify the file after the FTP transfer.  I'm
writing a script that do the files and database backup and verifying them.
I'm using the Unix machine.  Since I'm using the tar utility via the shell
environment in PHP, like PassThru() or Exec().  I'm using the tar utility
via Exec() for backing up and verifying because it have a lot of tar's
options that I can use.  As for the FTP, I decided to do the Exec() for
transfering and verifying.   Now the only thing left is to verify it.  I
welcome your suggestion and thought on this...

Thanks,
 Scott

RE: [PHP] Refreshing page after form submission

[S.D.Price]

Thanks this was the best solution I used this code as part of form
validation.

// query to check record has not already been added by comparing
submitted title with title of last record
$query_gnewsid_unique = "SELECT MAX(newsid) AS newsid FROM
tblnews";

// execute query
$result_gnewsid_unique = mysql_query($query_gnewsid_unique);

$row_gnewsid_unique = mysql_fetch_array($result_gnewsid_unique);
$newsid_unique = $row_gnewsid_unique['newsid'];


// query to extract last title from tblnews 
$query_gtitle_unique = "SELECT title
FROM tblnews
WHERE newsid = $newsid_unique"; 
$result_gtitle_unique = mysql_query($query_gtitle_unique);

$row_gtitle_unique = mysql_fetch_array($result_gtitle_unique);
$title_unique = $row_gtitle_unique['title'];



if ($title == $title_unique) {  
$message_unique = "You have already entered this record.";  
$unique = TRUE;
}

You can try and check if the user's information already exists in the

I think this should do it.

  function test() {
   static $i = 0;

   $i++;
   $retval = ( $i <= 10 ) ? $i : '';

   return $retval;

 }
 while( ($bob = test()) !== false ) {
   echo $bob . 'ECHO';

[PHP] Mass mySQL update...

[Russell P Jones]

So I populated a mySQL database but forgot to create random ids for each
record.

I have used phpmyadmin to add a varchar(15) column named "id" at the end
of the database for each record, but now am wondering if there is an easy
way to get random ID's into each of these...

The column values for many of the entries are not unique, so I couldnt
just loop through saying where term = $row[term] set id= rand(1, 9)

any other ideas? Any way to refer to a particular row without matching
values?

fgets can be handy to read a large file one LINE at a time.

This is most useful in files that are line-based, such as SQL data dumps,
CSV files, text files, config files, etc. when you want to process their
contents a line at a time and do something to the data.

fget lets you read an arbitrary amount of data -- this is useful if you
just want to transfer the data from point A to B without interpreting it,
or if the data is binary and has some sort of internal byte-structure you
need to tear apart to process it.

For small files, you might as well just use http://php.net/file or other
functions that deal with the whole file at once -- You only really want to
mess with fopen/fget|fgets/fclose if you have files that could potentially
be HUGE, and you can read a chunk at a time, deal with it, and read some
more -- Avoiding trying to suck the whole thing into RAM all at once.

> When using fget. Is it something special you should think when taking care
> of line-breaks? (/n, /r/n ...)

If your data could potentially be coming from Mac, PC, and/or Linux
instead of just one platform, you'll have to write some code to figure out
what to do with line-breaks.

Since I'm always on Linux servers, I generally do:

$data = str_replace("\r\n", "\n", $data); //PC -> Linux
$data = str_replace("\r", "\n", $data); //Mac -> Linux

This converts everything to Linux format, which is what I'll use internally.

Note that the order of the two lines is crucial -- If you flip-flop them,
you'll make a real mess.

If you're not trying to change the data, nor interpret it, you needn't
worry about the newlines.

> eof and feof. What's the difF? *don't get it*

EOF is an acronym for End Of File.

feof is the function used to determine if a file has reached its EOF --
that is, if you have successfully read all of the data, and there is no
more data to read, and the file still seems kosher, so you're DONE.

[PHP] User Groups Mailing List

[Richard Lynch]

Is there any interest in a PHP mailing list for User Groups?

I'm thinking topics along the lines of:
Forming a User Group
Promoting a User Group
Tips&Tricks for increasing attendance and the quality of meetings

Perhaps sharing/swapping resources, recommending speakers.

Posts by experts who are traveling and want to hook up with a User Group
to show off their latest PHP work/technology.

I'd be happy to moderate such a list, and could find some kind of host for
it if PHP.net is not willing/suitable/able to do so.

I know I've had many challenges to keep the Chicago User Group going and
suspect many people could benefit from this sort of list.

Perform an ls/dir on the FTP server once it has completed - if the

Try to use wget or the MS-DOS equivalent to find out exactly what the
web-server is sending out -- which is driving your browser crazy.

Also try to run the script from an MS-DOS prompt:
C:\php\bin\php.exe C:\full\path\to\your\script.php

You'll have to get the paths right, of course, and may have to dink around
with the Environment Variable setting of "path" in "My Computer" (I think
that's where they hide it) so you can have all your DLLs and stuff in the
$path variable.

If all else fails, take a *COPY* of your script, and a *COPY* of php.exe
and a *COPY* of all the DLLs you need, and toss them in a single directory
and try to run it that way.  In theory, Windows .exes look for DLLs in
their own directory first.

'Course, Microsoft tends to break their own rules as fast as they make
them, so no promise on that actually working. :-v

You can use PHP to http://php.net/echo out any kind of content you want,
including HTML if you use http://php.net/htmlentities to make them visible
in the browser and http://php.net/urlencode to send them back and forth in
forms.

That said, you may want to just *BUY* a good IDE like DreamWeaver or the
Zend IDE or Komodo instead of trying to write one from scratch.

If you are having a tough time coding because you can't remember tags and
functions, writing your own IDE is going to be a nightmare.

Perhaps something like this:

my_unset('a'); //unset($a);

Jason Morehouse wrote:

This depends on *SO* many factors...

Is your MySQL database pretty small?

Is your site heavy traffic?

Are most of your sessions short-lived?

Will the MySQL data end up being in RAM and cached?

Sooner or later, the MySQL stuff has to hit the hard drive, one way or
another -- But the user perception could be *MUCH* faster if MySQL caching
is reducing disk access over the course of a short session.

If you're on a high-traffic site, only some benchmark tests on your
hardware is going to tell you for sure.

If you're not, the MySQL solution is not going to be noticably
slower/faster than the file-based sessions, if you're already opening a
MySQL connection anyway.

If you're *NOT* already making a MySQL connection, then you'd have to test
and see which is faster -- or not worry too much about it, as they'll be
pretty close, and on a low-volume site it won't matter which you use from
a performance perspective.

I haven't tried SQLite, but I suspect it's going to be about the same.


Also an alternative viewpoint to another poster:

If you are writing the MySQL scripts to control sessions, and if you
understand how the sessions work (which takes some doing) then, in my
experience, you can debug session problems easier and faster, because you
already have "hooks" in place to track where stuff is coming from and
going to.

Granted, this assumes you've got a good clean working SQL-based session
setup in the first place, which is several days, perhaps even weeks of
work for the beginner, before they really understand all the bits and
pieces and ins and outs of the session data moving around.

GIFs can have lower than that as well.

You can find the GIF format definition on-line -- It's not *that* tricky
to read and understand, really.

I wrote a GIF parser in Lisp one time.  Damned if I remember why...

Maybe they had no GIF support back then, and I was converting it to a PICT
in Lisp.  [shudder]  I was young and foolish. :-)

Might have been the other way around -- writing a valid GIF from a PICT --
which would have been easier, I reckon, since I could have ignored some of
the complexities I didn't need...

When you create that image from the original GIF, you are inheriting the
COLOR PALLETTE that is in that GIF.

The original GIF maker may well have restricted you to, say, 4 colors, in
order to make the GIF really small, none of which colors are white.

I'm assuming you are using http://php.net/imagecolorallocate already, and
are trying to use  255, 255, 255 to get white.

However, if the pallette is only allowed to have 4 colors, and they are
already in use, you ain't gonna get your white color -- Your
imagecolorallocate will return -1 -- Which shouldn't work too good at all
in the rest of your script...

So I'm a bit confused exactly how you got the gray color.

That said, here are some possible ideas.

#1.
Check all your return codes from all your functions.  If you *think* you
are getting a color, but you get -1, something went wrong.  Catch it, deal
with it, and do something smart about it.

#2.
Use http://php.net/imagecreatetruecolor to make your image.
Then use http://php.net/imagecreatefromgif to pull in the GIF
Then use http://php.net/imagecopy to *copy* the GIF into your image.

#3.
There are PHP functions to examine the pallette.  Use them.  Figure out
where the gray is coming from and why.

The easiest thing is to change the '' in your ternary operator to TRUE.

TRUE ain't never gonna evaluate to FALSE in PHP.  Well, I guess you could
hack the source to make that happen, if you were bored enough...

Another option is to use === to test $bob explicitly against '' and/or
FALSE so that PHP's loose type conversion doesn't confuse you.

You could even change '' to 'LOTS AND LOTS' so that after 10, you see
'LOTS AND LOTS'

Or, if you were wanting this to actually be useful, you could do something
like:

$retval = ($i <= 10) ? $i : ('~10^' . log($i, 10));

For the English majors, I imagine there's a http://php.net/printf input
that would let you get things like 'hundreds', 'thousands', 'millions',
etc.

Yeah, a beginner trying to write an OOP MySQL session based system would
take MONTHS, and still get it all wrong with nasty snarled code.

Yep. :-)

http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/phpm

That list consists of several user group leaders, company representatives
(mainly book and magazine publishers), and other notable community
members.

Having another founder on the list would certainly be helpful, if you're
interested in contributing. Eventually, we want to have much more than a
mailing list, however - we'd like to create a resource as useful as Perl
Mongers.

Re: [PHP] Re: I got the mail form blues! HTML/POST/mail() question - Also request for style suggestions

[Monique Verrier]

Thanks for the help already.  I am still struggling.  I didn't have any luck
with urlencode(), but I used htmlentities() and the variable did get passed
as a section of HTML code.  When I sent the mail, however, it displayed as
text within the e-mail message and not as a table.  I was using these mail
headers:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Any other ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you -- Monique.

Your first crude check is to see if the LENGTH of the file is what it
should be.

All your code should be checking that.

There are some built-in tar consistency checks you could run on the
uploaded file to see if tar thinks it's still kosher -- These are not
exhaustive nor would you want to claim that it was a "for sure" good
transfer just because tar thinks the file is okay.

You could also create "signatures" of files on each side, and compare the
signatures.  There are a number of possible algorithms to choose from for
the signature, but http://php.net/md5 should be an easy one.  That leaves
a 1 in 2 billion chance that the files are not the same.

If 1 in 2 billion isn't good enough odds, you *could* go so far as to
transfer the file *BACK* to the original server, with a different name,
and then exec("diff $original $copy") to see if they are the same.  Of
course, this could give a false negative if the transfer *back* was no
good, but the first transfer was actually kosher.

but, my mnd is a blank,

this structure prints out a table with a new row for each item

what I want to do is print out a table 4 columns wide and however many rows

HOW do I loop through the array and  get data   printed 4 times
then a new row started and then 4 more  cells printed, etc

I'm actually the organizer for several Meetup groups as well.

Tell you the truth, I'm not that hot on Meetup's feature set, site design,
or implementation details.

EG:  As an Organizer, I get *way* too many notification emails, and don't
have any kind of fine-grain control, much less the concept that maybe they
should put all my stuff into one weekly update for me.  Sigh.

It's a nice idea, but I don't think they've really sat down and tested it
on normal users.

Months?  Come on..  it's just six functions and a call to

And a good chunck of the code is already written in the example at

Try it the old way -- I suspect you broke things by changing it around...

You definitely need the $name= and the urlencode of the value, however.

 How about this - 

Tell us the OS, version of PHP, the portion of the code it's dying on
(enable some logfile writing if you don't know) and any other *useful*

Did you do any Google searching? I searched for "01650AFD" and came up with
a number of PHP-related links, but haven't investigated yet.

Your message is about as helpful as "PHP is broken, please fix".

Hi,

Fedora Core 3, PHP 5.03, MySQL 4.17, Apache 2.0.52

Recent PHP installation.  I created a phpinfo() page.  When I display it in

Yet when I log on to my server and look for it in /etc, it is not there.

How can I find it???

If you ask the question over and over no one will answer you. You must

An access violation usually means that PHP is attempting to use a memory

Yet when I log on to my server and look for it in /etc, it is not there.
How can I find it???
find / -name php.ini
locate php.ini
If you installed from source, you will have to copy one of the ini files 
from the untared source to the proper location.

[PHP] 4.3.10 breaking things?

[Ben]

Hi All,
I just upgraded to 4.3.10 and have found a number of scripts have broken 
including:

phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-rc1
squirrelmail-1.4.3a + the xss patch
Both of these worked just fine with php 4.3.9 with the switch to 4.3.10 
being the only change that has been made.

In addition pdflib functions pdf_stringwidth, pdf_show_boxed, and 
pdf_get_value (plus more as I am quickly discovering) now require 
additional parameters although the current php documentation appears to 
suggest that these additional parameters are only required when using php5.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

You don't have a php.ini file and PHP is using the defaults. If there 
was a php.ini file, it would be listed in the path, i.e. "/etc/php.ini" 
instead of just "/etc". Sample php.ini files are included with the 
source as php.ini-recommended and php.ini-dist (or file names that are 
close to that). Edit and rename to php.ini and place it in the path 
above (where PHP is expecting to find the file, /etc).

Thank you, Richard. That's what I am looking for.
Your first solution may not be usable, because the variable to unset may
not be a global variable. The second solution (that using eval()) may
have a bug, because the unset() is called in a local-scope of the
function forcereturn() (and so the variable "unset()"ted differs from
the variable that we really want to unset()).
However, there can be used eval() instead of forcereturn():

Nevertheless, this solution has defects for general use: A lot of
expressions with no return value can't be called with eval() (e.g.
eval('break;') is not a good idea).
However I don't say I need to use a break command. All I needed was
already said. Thank you.
--Tomas_Tintera
ps. I want it because it seems to be practical to write the whole
program in a one expression (usually composed of "AND" and "OR"
operators). And it's nice. When reading such a code, you can feel as
when reading poetry ;).

Reverting back to 4.3.9 with the same build configuration options used 
in 4.3.10 has fixed the problems with the various scripts.

Because I haven't found any other mention of others having a similar

Do you use Zend Optimizer?

If so you should upgrade to the latest version:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31134
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31108

I don't use it personally but I figured this might be your issue.

Are there any specific reasons that you need to set the variable to global
scope? 

It's typically recommended that unless you need to, to pass the variable
into the function and return the modified value if you plan on changing it.

RE: [PHP] script PHP to detect IP address

[Warren Vail]

hmmm, perhaps you are not clear about how IP addresses are used (assigned
and reassigned), if your interest is the ip address of a PC connected to
your website or the ip of the website, probably depends on your web server,
for my apache server;

$_SERVER["SERVER_ADDR"] (apache server IP address, at least the one being
used by my connection)
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] (browser IP address, that is connected to my task)

If on the other hand you are talking about a stand alone script, you need to
understand how IP addresses are assigned as needed (there is probably no one
IP address that identifies a single PC in most cases), there are a few
exceptions where fixed IP addresses are assigned, but more often not.
Perhaps if you were to identify what you are trying to find out, asking that
question would get you a more definitive answer?

good luck,

Warren Vail

use phpinfo() function
and look for "Configuration File (php.ini) Path". for example of php 
5.0x, it is normally /etc/php.5.ini

good luck.
