[PHP] stripping negative number

[Roger Thomas]

I want to convert negative number to its positive equivalent.

$num = -40;
printf("Unsigned value is %u", $num);

output is: Unsigned value is 4294967256

I have checked the manpages and %u seems the right format. Pls advise.

[PHP] $HTTP_POST array

[kalinga]

Dear all,
Is it possible to pass the entire $HTTP_POST array to a function of a class
as a variable?

without doing ...

 $new_classAccount = new classAccount;
 $msg = 
$new_classAccount->addAccount($HTTP_POST_VARS['accountName'],$HTTP_POST_VARS['firstName'],$HTTP_POST_VARS['lastName']);

is it possible to..
 $new_classAccount = new classAccount;
 $msg = $new_classAccount->addAccount($HTTP_POST);

i googled a lot on this but did not find any good code sample.

hope somebody can gide me on this.

Re: [PHP] stripping negative number

[Justin England]

unsigned does not equal absolute value.
$num = -40;
print "Num: $num\n";
$num = abs($num);
print "ABS: $num\n";
will display:
Num: -40
ABS: 40

Why? It's not going to offer any protection. If I know your encrypted
password and am able to access your database using it there is no reason
for me to know what your cleartext password is. In other words if I am
able to read the file containing your password (whether encrypted or
cleartext) then I can access your database.

   print "\n";

(Note curly braces.)

Inside strings, PHP does not parse beyond the first-level subscript by
default; enclosing the whole reference in {} gives PHP the clue it needs to
use both levels of subscripting.

Re: [PHP] stripping negative number

[tg-php]

I believe this is because taking a value and displaying it as an unsigned value 
isn't the same as displaying the absolute value of a number.

Ever take a calculator that does hex and decimal, enter a negative number then 
convert it to hex?  There's no negative in hex, so you end up with something 
odd (like zero minus one equals max value of unsigned hex.. so -40 would be 40 
below the max value or something... don't know exactly how it works but I'm 
guessing that's what you're getting here).

You might want to just use abs() to get the absolute value of the number before 
displaying it.

RE: [PHP] File Locking during *other* file operations

[Robinson, Matthew]

No really good reason that I can think of. I don't see any reason as to
why it wouldn't work with just 'x'.

Must have been having a 'beer' moment.

yes, it should probably clear out stale lock files but the files I
protect with this are better left untouched if the lock fails. I think
that locks fail for a reason and you should find that reason before you
unlock and potentially break something.

How come you use "wx" up there, and just 'x' here?

Is there some reason for that?

One may (or may not) want to consider a mechanism for throwing out
really old lock files, since it's possible your PHP script or
application would eventually fail to remove a lock file...  Or not,
depending on how you code the rest of it.

You need to change it to this:

  print "\n";

You've misunderstood what the unsigned representation means.

The correct function to use is abs().

Well the syntax you have looks OK, did you try it? Perhaps you meant to pass 
$HTTP_POST_VARS?

[PHP] Firefox/IE (sometimes) wants to download .php files from my Apache2 server

[Rinke Hoekstra]

Hi All,
I have a rather odd problem. Since a few days, my otherwise perfect SuSe 
9.0 Apache2 server started to do some funny stuff.
In general, php works fine, and I can do anything I want... after a 
little while Firefox/IE starts asking me whether I want to download/run 
the php file instead of rendering it in the browser.
Sometimes even this doesn't happen, and I just get a regular Apache2 
page stating 'Object not found' (with accompanying lines in my server's 
error_log). A few minutes later, everything works fine again.
(restarting apache also tends to help)

I think the biggest problem is that it is intermittent: sometimes it 
works, and sometimes it doesn't... no way for me to diagnose it.
weird.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Rinke

I don't understand why you want to include header.html before you redirect

By the way, you 'd better to add mysql_escape_string() with the username and

Just be careful.

[PHP] can Header open in a new window?

Hi all, 

I have a PHP script that uses a header("Location: http://"; . $href);
statement that redirects to another page. The problem I have
is that I need this new page to open up in a new window, as the PHP is
being called from an IFrame. Is there a way the Header statement can do
it? or is the header statement the incorrect way to perform this
function?

thanks in advance

Thanks for your answer: the word 'crash' might give me some more

When the problems started I hadn't done anything. I tried to fix it by 
using the auto-updater of SuSE to install the "latest" php4 rpm... this
didn't solve my problem.

[PHP] How do I underline a string using php and fonts?

I have always wondered this and maybe you guys can help.

How do I underline a bit of text using True Type Fonts?

Right now, I am creating imagelines but I don't think that's the most
efficient way of doing it.

Anybody know how to do "underlines" but using the font itself?

Thanks,

This is not an Mime-type problem.

What apache version your runnging.
What RPMs of PHP4 you have installed?

What PHP Apache module you have installed?

[PHP] Re: Firefox/IE (sometimes) wants to download .php files from my Apache2 server

If it works most of the time, just not all the time... it can't really

It's not an incorrect way, it just won't work. The headers don't
control browser behaviours like this - the opening in a new window is
a browser level function, i.e. something defined by an href target, etc
which the browser should (but will not always) adhere to.

The only way I could think of would be to write out some client side
script to make a new window open (JavaScript, etc)

'Fine' when used in a PHP context.
 

and am very computer
literate, but most of the programming I have done is with scripting
languages such as Actionscript, Javascript, PHP etc. I realy have no
idea about compiling source code.
   

If your download is still compressed you need to uncompress it. 
Depending on the download's file extension you will need to use one of
these commands:

tar zxvf php-4.3.10.tar.gz
tar jxvf php-4.3.10.tar.bz2 

Then you change to the source directory:
cd php-4.3.10/
Then you configure the source:
./configure
You will need to add your desired compile options in the ./configure
command.  I have no idea what support you want to build into your PHP.
If you don't either you might look at:
./configure --help
Then after you're done with the configure, you compile the software:
make
Then you probably want to install the software permanently to a
system-wide location (or you might not, I don't know).  On *nix the
usual install locations are somewhere like /usr or /usr/local, which
can be defined in the configure with --prefix if you don't want the
default location.  So then to do the actual install you would do:
make install
Then your php binary will be /usr/bin/php or /usr/local/bin/php.
There's also the configure option to build your PHP as a module for
use with a web server such as Apache.  For that you might use a
configure command something like:
./configure --enable-module=so --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
 

I was just hoping for something in laymans terms I guess...
   

I would guess it's hard to talk about heart surgery without talking
about heart surgery.  Same goes for compiling software.  The commands
are pretty explicit and you have to know what your doing to get the
desired results.  It's no disgrace to not know, once upon a time I
didn't know..  but I read lots of docs, and I asked many questions and
I learned.  I got a few flames along the way but that's part of
knowing *nix I guess.  :)
Several companies I've worked for in the past have brought in outside
consultants when something would come up that we didn't have skills
for in-house.  On that note, you might consider talking with a
consultant or even getting them to do your PHP install for you if in
the end you give up and cannot figure it out.  Make them document the
process as part of the deal.
 

Thanks for your responses.
Wish me luck.
   

Good luck.
 

Thanks for the info.
I do understand that *nix usage generaly relies on a lot of compiling 
software, but I have been relying on pre-compiled RPMs so far. I am by 
no means an expert, or even intermediate *nix user, which is why I used 
the term "rudimentary".

I have been running 6 Linux servers for a small company for about a year 
now learning as I go. I knew nothing about *nix when I started and 
considering most of my other responsibilities leave very little time to 
learn and experiment on the Linux systems I dont think I've done too badly.

P.S. You didnt offend me, I just wanted to explain my situation.
Thanks again for the help.

If you can't get any joy using the image*() functions then you could take the 
scenic route:

1) compose your prose using the pdf_*() functions
2) then use something like ImageMagick's conversion tools to change into 
png/jpg/whatever

I think if you generate a .m3a file with just the full url of your mp3
and send that to download in the browser this will launch the users mp3
player which will then stream the mp3 that was contained in the file.

register_globals has nothing to do with how you pass variables... you still use 
the URL or forms. It only changes how you access them in PHP scripts, i.e. 
using $_GET['var'] instead of $var.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] should contain the script that's requesting the image, 
but it can be spoofed. 

Are you using sessions at all? You could start a session on the main page (that 
requests the images) and then check for the same session on the page that 
creates the images. If a session isn't created (a certain variable isn't set), 
then don't serve the image or serve something else. 

A fun thing to do if you have a lot of people hotlinking to your images is to 
set it up so it works for the first 10 minutes or so but then changes to 
serving some nasty gay porn image (after they've probably posted it to their 
site somewhere)... heh... but I digress...

[PHP] A serious bug? "or" operator gives out diffferent results depending on order of operands

[Bogdan Ribic]

Here's a little test script:

$x = 2;
$y = 10;
$b1 = is_null($x) or ($y > 5);
$b2 = ($y > 5) or is_null($x);
var_dump($b1);
var_dump($b2);

Obviously, it should be false for both $b1 and $b2, but the output is:
bool(false)
bool(true)
Is this a bug? I tried dumping values of two expressions, they are both
boolean and correct value. Tried assigning values to two temp vars and
then or-ing these two, and that gave correct results.
I really cannot see what am I doing wrong. Tried this with php 4.3.2 and
4.3.9, and I get these weird results both times.
Maybe I should herd cattle or something :)

= has a higher precedence than OR and OR is not the same as ||

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php#language.operators.precedence

So you should use

$b1 = is_null($x) || ($y > 5);

The whole point of OR is that it is a very low precedence operator. 
Think of it as being at the bottom of the precedence table (it isn't 
quite, ',' is lower) so you can do:

$a = b() + $c / $d OR echo "false";
That is, do everything before the OR first, then see what that evaluates 
to before applying the OR.  This wouldn't work if it took precedence 
over anything in the rest of the expression.

They are not cookies and they should be deleted automatically by the garbage 
collection process. However, by default, there is only a 1% chance that the 
garbage collection process is triggered when a session is started. So, if this 
is a low traffic server, you may not have triggered garbage collection at all. 
They are not deleted automatically when the session is ended. 

You can up the probability, if you want, but I wouldn't worry too much about 
it. Or you can write your own session handler to handle deleting the files.

This is why your file system must support atime as mentioned before.

this might be coming into play:
http://us4.php.net/session

session.gc_maxlifetime  integer

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

Note: If you are using the default file-based session handler,
your filesystem must keep track of access times (atime). Windows FAT
does not so you will have to come up with another way to handle
garbage collecting your session if you are stuck with a FAT filesystem
or any other fs where atime tracking is not available. Since PHP 4.2.3
it has used mtime (modified date) instead of atime. So, you won't have
problems with filesystems where atime tracking is not available.

[PHP] Destroying session data

[Philip Thompson]

Hi all.
I have multiple pages on a website that uses sessions ($_SESSION) to 
store the data. However, I noticed that in the C:\Windows\Temp 
directory, all the session variables/data files are stored there from 
previous (and current) sessions.

My question is: when the session is "logged out" or ended (via closing 
the browser or however), should these data files (which look like 
sess_fd983aedf93ceeioa8332890bcd, etc) not be destroyed? If not, is 
there a way to automatically destroy them because I don't want to have 
to go in each day/week/month and delete these session data files 
manually? Are these data files considered to be cookies?

Just to clarify, I know how to destroy session variables... I want to 
know how to destroy the files that contain those variables after 
they're no longer being used. I have RTFM and I can't seem to find the 
answer.

Thanks in advance,

create_function -- Create an anonymous (lambda-style) function

The keyword here is anonymous, as in 'not named'.  The anonymous
function you create will have a name but it's not a name you can use,
it's just a randomly generated string for preventing naming
collisions.  That's why you must access anonymous functions with a
variable.

RE: [PHP] Destroying session data

[Vail, Warren]

Closing the browser sends nothing to the webserver and with most webservers,
the server has forgotten that you were ever there.

When using sessions, you connect your browser and request a page, and that
request is accompanied with a session key that is stored in a cookie on the
browser machine by domain.  PHP takes it on faith that IF this cookie comes
with the request, it should match a session datastore, and it looks, and if
it finds one, it uses that session when the session_start() function is
called (now it remembers you, so to speak).

As the script wraps up the session datastore is updated with any new session
data, using a probability factor set in php.ini, it may do some extra
processing to cleanup old "expired" sessions.  Since the page has already
been transmitted in it's entirety to the browser, and the browser should now
be working to render the page, this extra process should have no noticeable
impact on the user experience.  This "Garbage Cleanup" routine will scan the
entire datastore looking for session records that are older than allowed by
another php.ini parameter (gc_maxlifetime), and removes them (gc stands for
Garbage Cleanup).  Keep in mind that this garbage collection will probably
not remove the session that pertain to the browser that triggers the
cleanup, but rather it will remove session records for other sessions that
have not been referenced for a while.

In php you can write your own session management handler routines and attach
them to your php process.  Check out some of the following;

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php

Studying these routines can teach you a lot about how sessions work.

If you can get your users to log out instead of closing their browser, you
have a chance to execute a script that will then kill a session and that
usually removes an individual session data record.

HTH,

Warren Vail

Actually the way most garbage cleanup routines work, the session datastore
will be removed regardless of whether it is "in use" or not.  

Here comes the tricky stuff, if php has sent a page to the browser and has
satisfied your browsers request, and your user is reviewing the contents of
the page to decide his next action, as far as apache and php are concerned,
that users session is no longer "in use".  But, if in the process of
preparing that page, it was using sessions, it would have stamped the
session datastore with a new timestamp, so the garbage cleanup routine would
not consider it an old datastore and remove it.  If the user waits a long
time (longer than gc_maxlifetime in seconds) before doing something, when
someone else requests a page, their session could trigger a cleanup process
and your session could be deleted.

If your script is running, fetches the session datastore, and has not
reached the end of it's processing where it rewrites the datastore with
updated data and a new timestamp, if during that time the file is deleted,
no harm done since the save session routine of your script will make sure
the datastore is created and write stuff back into if from it's memory
image.  I guess that is what PHP would consider "in use", whereas your user
will consider the time he is mulling over his response as "in use", even if
he gets up to get a cup of coffee before responding.

[PHP] PHP4: Using create_function to create an object method

[kermodebear]

Hello all,

I was playing with create_function the other day and found that it is not
possible to use create_function to create a method for an object. Code example:

test = create_function( '', 'echo "Testing";' );
$o->test(); // Will break:
// Fatal error: Call to undefined function:  test()
// in /www/devel/jmiller/include/test.php on line 10
?>

I saw several work arounds for this in the comments section of the PHP manual,
but I did not see anything in the manual that explicitly states that this will
not work. On an intuitive level, it would seem to me that it would and should. 
Using call_user_func( $o->test ) does work.

I did some google searching but I didn't come up with anything that seemed
relevant. Could someone point me to some documentation that explains why
$o->test() does not work? It would seem to me that this would be a useful
feature for dynamically building objects for use in SOAP, for example, without
having to eval() a big block of code.

>From what I understand, in PHP5 there is a magical __call() method for all
classes/objects, but in PHP4 this capability does not exist.

No, I'm not actually trying to play with this in any serious manner, nor do I
intend to write 'real' code that uses this... Just a curiousity and something
to play around with. (o:

Thank you, all.

Your method and action are blank.



You need a submit button.



Submit will pass the vars to whichever page action is set to. The vars
will be in the $_POST array, basically $_POST['name'] and
$_POST['address'].

Whatever page action calls, you can have php check that the submit button
was executed like:

Dear John,

I have just test a sample through the link, but fail...
So, I'm check my php config ( ini file ), and would you mind to tell me which 
setting must be disabled / enabled ?

Thank for you help so much !

Did you read what I wrote? register_globals has nothing to do with how you pass 
variables. You create a form the same way with it ON or OFF... The difference 
is in how you access the variables in the PHP script. In this instance, since 
you haven't specified a method for your form, GET is assumed. So you can access 
the form variables in $_GET['name'] and $_GET['address']. If you used POST in 
your form method, then $_POST['name'] and $_POST['address'] can be used. 
Regardless of the method, you can use $_REQUEST['name'] and 
$_REQUEST['address']... catching on? ;)

John is very helpful and loves to dedicate his time to helping new users. If 
you don't get a response within the next 10 minutes (he's always available), 
just continue to write him and ask him for help. It's the Christmas season,

$_POST is only available from version 4.1.0 of PHP onwards, and is enabled by 
default. If you're using any version older than that you *really* ought to 
upgrade. All this and more are in the link that you had been given, read it.

There is two servers for the test, one is using Fedora Core 2 Linux ( come with
php 4.x.x ), another is using W2k + php 5.xx !

So, I think may be the problem of php config...
But I don't know how to fix the problem ( setting of php config ) !

how might i accomplish this?  phpAds does this when a flash banner is

[PHP] Next page every second

[Greg Wardawy]

Ladies and gentlemen of PHP,
I'm quite new to PHP (coming from Perl) so please don't laugh too hard if 
I'm missing something obvious.
My scenario is as follows:
Connect to the MySQL server->grab the data from the table->display the data 
of the first row on the web page->sleep 1 second->display the data from the 
next row->sleep 1 second... and so forth up to the last row of the table.
I'm able to get the next page displayed by using a link to it (a snippet 
below) but I'm out of ideas how to have the next page displayed every 
second. So far I'm getting tons of tables displayed on the page or tons of 
the variables displayed in a single cell of the table. I could really use 
your help here.
Happy Holidays to all of you and many thanks for any suggestions given.

Greg.

And this was the result of using the form that you originally had or the 
corrected form that Matthew suggested? If you want the form values to be 
available in $_POST then you need to specify method="POST" in your form. May 
I suggest that you get a better understanding of HTML before attempting to 
use PHP?

And just what version is 4.x.x? If you want help you have to be *specific*. 
Although in this case one can presume that Fedora Core 2 is recent enough to 
be shipping with a version of PHP newer than 4.1.0.

> So, I think may be the problem of php config...

You don't need to change any of the default settings in php.ini to make this 
work.

Presumably you want the "next page displayed every second" bit to happen 
automatically? And this "next page" is actually a whole new page? (ie you 
want to display each record on a new page). The only way this can be done is 
to use meta-refresh and construct the refresh URL appropriately (similar to 
how you are currently doing the "next" link).

There's nothing in the php.ini file that would cause $_POST to not work
unless you did something yourself. $_POST is a superglobal var. It's
always available to all pages.

Is php even working for you?

If you just create a test.php with simply:



does anything show up in the web browser?

Re: [PHP] Next page every second

[Sagar C Nannapaneni]

If all you want to display each record one by one at a particular interval
of time
you could do this at one page itself...here is the procedure

1. connect to mysql
2. grab the row you want
3. store the row number in a session variable
4. Add an autorefresh code to ur html..(lot of java scritps are there for
setting the time interval for the page refresh)
5.  when the page again loads grab the row number from session and increment
it by one

hope that the logic will work out...
