[PHP] unable to execute external program

[Sagar C Nannapaneni]

Hi,

I've compiled an external program in my linux server.
That program creates a pdf file taking a html file as input.
when i run it thru the command line its working fine.
But when i tried to execute the same command from php
with exec() command its not working.

Note that from command i'm logged in as root. And i'm
using PHP as another user on the same server.

Any other suggestions to run a command line commad thru PHP??

[PHP] PHP5 & FreeTDS

[Craig Donnelly]

I had FreeTDS and PHP 4.3.x working fine, then I upgraded my PHP

installation to PHP 5.0.3, now It isnt working.

On the page where I connect to the MSSQL server I get the following error:

Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to
server: 172.16.xx.xxx in /var/ftpusers/tarot/tarot/admin/sqltest.php on line
4

This worked fine before, and I tested it on another box which is also
running freeTDS with PHP 5.0.1 and it

connects fine. Anyone any Ideas??

Regards,

Craig

Hello Jochem,

Don't be a 'tard... Just because someone doesn't explicitly state they
didn't read the manual entry first don't assume they didn't because
you know what they say about assume.

So to make a troll happy, here's exactly what it does with one array
given as an argument:

"If only one array is given and the array is numerically indexed, the
keys get reindexed in a continuous way."

Wow... Oddly enough that sounds exactly like what he wanted, and hence
my suggesting it to him.

JM> you think???

Now.. On to the part where the "I think" applies.. Since they do not
give an example of a single array being used as an argument, I  had to
rely on memory from when I needed to do that nearly four months ago.

I know I used array_merge(), but I didn't remember if I had to assign
it to a variable or not.

JM> hit the manual: http://www.php.net/array_merge (thats 30 chars to

No duh and if you're using Firefox, you can even do something
really weird like give the php.net website a keyword (oh, "php" seems
to work nicely), and set your location to "http://www.php.net/%s"; and
amazingly enough you can just type in "php array_merge" and
automagically it takes you right there. That's only 15 chars... Much
more efficient than your suggestion.


JM> probably array_merge() will do what he wants but there maybe

His array is numerically indexed. It does exactly what he wants.

RE: [PHP] PHP + MSSQL win32 / SOLVED

[Vincent DUPONT]

Hello,

I found the problem about my last message (see below).
This relates to a bug in 4.3.10 release with MSSQL extension
Bug #31372

I downgraded to PHP 4.3.8 and the problem was solved.

Thank you for your attention and replies

Subject: [PHP] PHP + MSSQL win32

Hi

 

I try to use PHP with MSSQL on a WINXP station.

Usually, on win32 systems this works very well, but today I can't
understand the problem.

 

I can connect and execute SELECT statements

When I try to INSERT , DELETE or UPDATE a record, I have a PHP ERROR,
and a MSSQL error "code 15457" in the mssql logs

The insert executes, but I would like not to have the php error...

This seem to be a problem with grants or permissions, but I can't find
where. Even if I log with the 'sa' account I have the error.

 

I use PHP 4.3.10 and MSSQL2000 on winXP pro

 

Any tip would be nice.

 

Moreover, I have found a ini file parameter that is not documented :
mssql.datetimeconvert=Off

Do  you know what does this mean??

 

Thank you

Vincent

RE: [PHP] unable to execute external program

[Robinson, Matthew]

I think you've answered your own question.

Check the permissions on the file. Can it be executed by the other user?
Is it in the path? What error do you see in the log?

ls -l
chmod

might just be your friends ;-)

[PHP] mysql improved extensions affected_rows

[Tom]

I've just started playing with the php5 improved mysqli extensions.
I have the following code:-

$updateQuery = "UPDATE client SET status = 'INACTIVE' WHERE clientName = 
'Tom'";

if ($mysqli->query($updateQuery))
{
   $updateCount = $mysqli->affected_rows;
   echo "updateCount = $updateCount";
}
else
{
   excpetionHandler("updateFailed: ".$updateQuery);
}
?>
This returns "updateCount = 1"
However, when I check the underlying table, there are actually 4 rows 
updated (and yes, before anyone asks, I have repeated this several 
times, correctly resetting the data before each run)

Is this a known bug, or am I doing something stupid?
(php 5.0.2, apache 2.0.49)
Thanks

Right.
What I think he means (MTAM in progress!) is how could you bundle up the 
source PHP code with, say, a simple CLI version of PHP and throw all of 
that into an executable file.  For Windoze, I suppoze.

Not that I really know how to do that.  :)

Well you can always store the array in a variable and just pass the 
variable to the function as the third parameter.  At least it would look 
prettier.

$vars = array("a"=>"1","b"=>"2","c"=>"3");
foo("cat","dog",$vars);
is there any other way to define the array?

nope, that's the only way
Well... I suppose that you could create an object and then treat the 
object like an array (i.e. PHP5), but I doubt you want to do this unless 
you have a specific purpose for using the object in this way.

But, I'm asking just in case I've missed it in the docs.

[PHP] Is this a bug?

[Rory McKinley]

Hi
Probably a trivial question
While trying to use mysqli on my dev machine, PHP returns the following:
Fatal error: Trying to clone an uncloneable object of class mysqli
After STFW I have found a solution that involves swiching off 
compatibility with Zend Engine 1 in php.ini.

However, after going to bugs.php.net, it seems that it has not been 
logged as a bug.

So, the question would be - do I log it or am I wasting their time?

A couple of things to try:

(1) Try defining a TDSDUMP file before the connection attempt and see if it 
provides
any hints as to why it failed.  I normally do this via:

putenv("TDSDUMP=/tmp/tdsdump");

before the connection attempt.  Make sure to remove this after you're done 
testing,
this file can get very big very quickly.

(2) Install Sqsh (http://www.sqsh.org/) and see if you can connect with it.  If 
not,
it may give you more information on the connection failure than PHP does (just
guessing here)...

Re: [PHP] delete part of array

[M. Sokolewicz]

that only works for numerical indices.
However, if you're sure that neither null values, nor false values are 
supposed to be present in the array, (that means, they MIGHT be, but 
should be removed anyway; or just not be there at all,) then you could 
try array_filter with no callback-argument :)

Another easy way would be:
foreach($array as $key=>$val) {
   if($val === '') {
  unset($array[$key]);
   }
}
hope it helps

Re: [PHP] Data Enryption

[Christophe Chisogne]

Greg Donald a écrit :
function encrypt( $string )

$key = '&[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$result = '';
for( $i = 1; $i <= strlen( $string ); $i++ )
{
$char = substr( $string, $i - 1, 1 );

This is roughly equivalent to an 'xor' 'encryption', trivial to break.
Ex Read first few pages of 'Applied cryptography' of Bruce Schneier.
Imagine someone feeding 'AA' to the encoder.
By simply diffing hex codes with 'encoded' string, the key is
recovered. By encoding a string made of char(0), the 'encoded'
result is even... The key (ok, perhaps repeated a few times).
As perhaps it's not obvious for beginners, note that it can only work
with 7bits datas like ascii, not 8bits datas (latin1, ex french
accentuated chars, etc). So you cant 'encode' binary datas with it.
-- ord() + ord() is in [0-255] + [0-255], ie in [0-510], above 255.
PS I found code shorter, easier to read and maintain by using
   a simple 0-based index, and by avoiding hard-coded values
   -- especially passwords, keys, etc ;-)
   Example of what I mean:
function encrypt($str, $key)
{
$result = '';
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
$char = $str{$i};
$keychar = $key{$i % strlen($key)};

Never used bCompiler, but does the exe just run from the command-line?
You might want to take a look at this:

http://www.roadsend.com/home/index.php?pageID=compiler

I was testing it out only today and despite needing a LOT of work re:
documentation (and IDE features) it does the job quite well. The
Windows EXE it built failed to include the required run-times though,
which was a bit poor. Still, got to be worth looking at.

No, can't do that.  I'm used to stuff like that from Perl as well.  It has been
brought up a few times on the internals list (check the archives for named

Right.

What I think he means (MTAM in progress!) is how could you bundle up the

source PHP code with, say, a simple CLI version of PHP and throw all of 
that into an executable file.  For Windoze, I suppoze.

Not that I really know how to do that.  :)

[PHP] Downloading Images

[John Camp]

I was able to successfully make a very simple http proxy - turns out the 
php documentation has the code for this =] - but now I need a way to 
display images. I figured the best way would be to download the images 
to a temporary folder, then parse the html to point to the images on my 
server instead. The problem is that I do not know how to download the 
images.

Also if anyone has a link to a parsing script it would save a good 
amount of time.

Thanks for any help.

Re: [PHP] delete part of array

[Sebastian]

thanks Leif, not too many think like you :)
some people are on this list just because they think they are some genius in
php, then when someone with less experience asks for help they bitch and
basically tell you to find your own solution or read the manual, that is the
first place any REAL php coder would go for help FIRST, but it doesn't
always solve a problem thats why there is a thing called MAILING LIST. :)

[PHP] [HAB] Force Browsers to encode in utf8

[OOzy Pal]

Dears,

My html templates are encoded using utf-8. When the
browser reads the files as .html it encodes it fine
and my characters looks fine. However, when php reads
the files and sends them to the browser the files
looks ugly and unreadable. How can I force the broswer
to encode the pages in utf-8.

While trying to use mysqli on my dev machine, PHP returns the following:

After STFW I have found a solution that involves swiching off

However, after going to bugs.php.net, it seems that it has not been 
logged as a bug.

So, the question would be - do I log it or am I wasting their time?
I think they will probably disregard it, I believe that when Ze1compat 
mode is on the object is at some time being truely copied where under 
'normal' situations (ie. using the ZE2 object model) assigning the 
object to another var will merely create a reference - since, 
apparently, creating a copy of the object is not allowed you get the 
error when the engine trys to clone it (when you assign the created 
object to another var, possibly when returning it from a function/method).

Also I recommend switching off ZE1Compat mode if you don't need - it 
means you get all the cool stuff from PHP5 - like proper object 
referencing (i.e. no more worries about using ampersand to pass objs by 
reference etc)

Without actually running it (I'm too lazy!), I'm pretty sure this won't work
correctly -- the count($array) is being recalculated each time round the
loop, so each time you do an unset() it will reduce by one, resulting in the
last few elements never being checked.

It should, however, be perfectly possible to use foreach in the same way:

  foreach ($array as $i=>$value) {
 if (empty($value]) {
unset($array[$i]);
 }
  }

so my point stands - if your going to help why not grab the nearest

writing both versions in the mail and makes _you_ look better IMHO.

indeed it is! thanks for the tip :-) , I might add though that people
choose a close/fast mirror rather than www.php.net itself to help 
offload some of the traffic - my preferred mirror is always way faster 
the www.php.net, which is a nice when your hitting the manual 20+ times 
a day.

BTW: took me a few mins to figure out where to set this: in the 
bookmarks details dialog (via the bookmark manager - and possibly other 
routes) if anyone else is interested.

I personally couldn't tell what exactly he wanted to filter out of his 
array (false, '' or NULL) or whether he cared about the difference in 
this case. I was merely trying to encourage porper understanding of the 
function rather than using something which works under the current

There are a few.

http://www.pspad.com is my favorite, and it'll syntax highlight a good
number of programming languages. Plus you can download the PHP
documentation in .chm format from php.net and use it from within
PSPad. It's freeware too.

These sort of threads are good every now and then I think.  Especially
since it has been so long since I read this list on a day to day basis.

I assume windows by your mailer.  html-kit was good when I used windows
on a day to day basis several years ago.  I wish there was an html-kit
for linux.. gvim is my old stand by on windows and linux and does a
pretty good job of syntax highlighting but no completion/options based
stuff. gvim in combination with a browser ready to hit the manual pages
is all I use nowadays.

I am interested to hear what other folks are using.

goog == good? me thinks yes! wonderful little freudian slip (i.e. maybe

> php editor program to help with the syntax. Know any goog ones?
this depends on what you are looking for, some people prefer fully 
integrated IDE environments, other people (like me) often prefer 
standalone editors (e.g because its often easier to combine with 
existing tools you use etc):

I really like Textpad on windows (29 Bucks to register - which I think 
is worth it), its simple, fast, robust, lots of plugins/addons/etc, 
custom syntax highlighting, integrate your own tools (e.g. I have CTRL+4 
setup to do a 'php -l' on the current file - 'php -l ' does syntax 
checking).

On *nix I tend to use 'nano' for quick stuff (I am slowly learning Vi, 
but its a tricky beast to control ;-) when in a shell.

On the IDE front - I'm actually really impressed with the Eclipse IDE, I 
keep firing it up and liking it more and more - its not PHP specific at 
all but has plenty of PHP related addons/customizations available for 
it, pretty amazing stuff + its available on both Windoze and Linux and 
its free :-)

At the end of the day once you get comfortable with PHP and you've 
memorized a bunch of the most used functions, you won't have much 
trouble writing it whatever tool you happen to have available!

hope you enjoy PHP as much as I do.

Your terminology is a bit off, but you can solve your problem by adding
this to your php.inie file:

Not too much on this topic, but to save youself a few cpu cycles, you 
could put your size outside of the for loop

$size = sizeof ( $array );
for ( $i = 0; $i < $size; $i++ )
Putting it inside the for() makes it call that function on every loop.

does it help if you add the following statement to your php file(s):
header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
the call to header must occur before any output is done.
also you may wish to investigate the usage of (and your current settings

mbstring.internal_encoding
mbstring.encoding_translation

I'll second HTML-Kit. It's an excellent program (once you customize the
way it handles the tab key).

[PHP] Help with encryption

[Brian Dunning]

Howdy all -
I have RTFM and STFW and I still can't get encryption to work. What I 
finally ended up with from the PHP documentation is long, unwieldy, 
confusing, and doesn't work. I give up. I threw my big mess away and 
would like to start from scratch.

Could anyone point me to a web page or other documentation that shows a 
SIMPLE example of encryption? I need two-way encryption & decryption, 
not a one-way hash. I'll be using this to obfuscate get parameters.

Any pointers appreciated. Thanks all,
- Brian

okay, you didn't show the regexp you currently have no worries - I

Greg,
I hardly dare ask, but here goes anyway... do you use a visual client 
for subversion? the reason I ask is that I found cvs a nightmare until 
someone pointed me to tortoiseCVS - which is just too easy to use!
And I just noticed tortoiseSVN exists which seems to be the subversion 
counterpart...(can't tell if the projects/devs are related or whether 
the name is merely a little mark of respect towards its cvs counterpart)

Also did you step over to subversion out of need for extra functionality 
or was it originally down to curiosity - personally I'm still struggling 
with the concepts of branches and tag too much to dive in and learn even 
more powerful functionality.

BTW: I just want to reiterate that I'm sorry for offending you in the 
first place and the fact that my attempt at humour missed the mark.

There are many things you could have done wrong.

One of them is not correctly setting up your mail program in php.ini,
which is  kind of like not turning register_globals "ON" except that you
*SHOULD* set up your email program in php.ini, and you should *NOT* turn
register_globals "ON"

Meanwhile, you should also check the return value of mail() and you should
check your mail logs for whatever program you think is sending your email.

How many rows actually had 'Tom' for their clientName?...

I mean, is the '1' wrong because it should be 4, or is it changing records
it shouldn't?

You'll need to send that char-encoding header thingie, I suspect.

[PHP] calling php functions as library or cmd line

Does anyone know how to write php  libraries in a modular way so that you
can both test the libraries/functions on the command line with arguments
and/or use the php library as a part of your web code with 'require_once()'
syntax?  Sort of like how Python or Ruby works?

[PHP] Preventing execution without inclusion

[Adam Hubscher]

From within the application, I use one page to include 
classes/variables and so on. Is there a way (I may have been missing it 
in the documentation for PHP, however I didnt see anything related) to 
prevent a user from directly accessing/executing *.php by the file 
making sure taht it was only included by index.php?

For example:
config.php defines:
function __autoload($class_name) {

$class_name = strtolower($class_name);
include_once('class.'.$class_name.'.php');
}
as per PHP5 example
1 (the preferred way): user accesses 
http://www.example.org/index.php?function=Join, this loads the class 
NewUser and begins its implementation. Because of the __autoload, it 
includes class.join.php, in order to utilize the class.

2 (the wrong way): user accesses 
http://www.example.org/includes/class.join.php without going through 
index.php.

I am trying to prevent 2 from even occuring, utilizing a piece of code 
that would check if index.php had included it, or not. This code would 
be in the beginning of all the class files, at the top, before any other 
 code was to be executed.

As of yet, it has eluded me...

I apologize too. Here I am, the moderator and owner of five other

Isn't that one of the moderator credos though? "Do as I say, not as I

I agree that handing someone the silver platter every time they ask

I can agree with that. I'll fix mine.

Do you reckon you can handle two "I think"'s is a 24 hour period?


I think you can do this in IE too, but it's more difficult. When I
used to use IE way back when, I think I set up google as my search
engine instead of MSN and did something like that.

It coulda all been a dream too... :-)

I wasn't quite sure either but thought I'd give it a shot.

At any rate, getting OT.

Talk at you later. It's time to go home and play with the baby's mama.

[suspicious - maybe spam] [PHP] [suspicious - maybe spam] strange in MySQL Query.

[adwin wijaya]

Hi...
I have an query for mysql that looks like:
SELECT "group" as type FROM mytable WHERE id ="101010"
UNION
SELECT "individual" as type FROM myothertable WHERE id="101010"
The strange result if only one result displayed from myothertable, so 
the "type" will become "indiv" instead of individual.

But when I tried to switch the query become :
SELECT "individual" as type FROM myothertable WHERE id="101010"
UNION
SELECT "group" as type FROM mytable WHERE id ="101010"
it could displaye the result correctly. I dont know why .. is this mysql 
bug ?
