If someone is smart/crafty enough to actually hack the server and gain

is the least of your problems.
a, make it as hard as possible. do everything you can to make the hack 
harder.
b, a webmaster may have perms to admin the server but maybe should not have
access to the 'app' via its interface as a 'super user'
c, it allows you to send a hash of the password over the wire (rather than
not encrypting or encrypting the password on the server) and check that.
d, it sets the bar just high enough (for my clients at least) that nobody
will attempt to try and change the passwd. if it was plaintext then you could
just replace it, if its a hash then you have to generate a hash in order to
replace the 'super user' pwd.
but yes, if someone 'owns' you box then you have bigger problems :-)

Ok, so I use asort(), and I don't get the result I wanted. Instead I get the

access the array now?

$nar = array('lma-bg51' => 1, 'mcr-vh14' => 2, 'gmc-rr21' => 5, 'amh-fg23'

Re: [PHP] Pop-up message

At the risk of being shouted at because *I* know it's not a PHP problem!
I have a page that is being refreshed every 30 seconds or so, and 
displays a list of 'tickets' waiting to be dealt with on a list from a 
database query. No problems there, but a couple of sites now want me to 
add a pop-up warning when a ticket is added that has a staff ID matching 
the logged in user.

I can drive a sounder in the target browser, but need kicking in the 
right direction for a method of adding a pop-up window. Ideally it needs 
to be browser agnostic, which is where the problem comes given the 
pop-up blockers and other 'toys' that are being added to the browser end 
of things.

So can anybody point me in the right direction for a CURRENT method of 
achieving this, many of the bits I've found so far are somewhat 
antiquated, and fail in one way or another :(
I don't know about 'CURRENT' but you have atleast 3 options:
1. if its an intranet app then just tell them they have to add the intranet 
server
to a trusted zone (and that the browser should allow popups
2. dump your popup info in an absolutely positioned div and make the layer
visible on top of the rest of the page (with a js link that hides the layer 
again)
3. use a js alert(), which you might consider ugly... BUT its modal, its not 
blockable
(other than if js is turned off completely!) -- a user is therefore forced to 
read the
alert and click OK in order to continue.
if you want to do something that is triggered by page onload() then you can use 
this
function to add the handler to the document.onload event without breaking any 
other
js code (functions) which have already been 'attached' to the onload event:
function joinFunctions()
{
var newfunc = '';
for (var c = 0;c < arguments.length;c++) {
if ( arguments[c] ) {
var func=arguments[c].toString();
newfunc+=func.substr(func.indexOf("{")-1);
}
}
return new Function(newfunc);
}
example:
window.onload = joinFunctions(
window.onload,
function() { alert('Hey User you have been assigned some new 
tickets!'); }
);

no limit on php side, perhaps 2^31 if you do calculations.
I´m browsing a table with PHP from MySQL, and something is wrong, if the 
table has more than 5047 records, the browse appears blank. Additionaly, if 
make the browse in a child window (target="_blank"), the limit becomes 
lower: 437 records.

My SQL query is:

The way I "solve" the problem is adding LIMIT 5047 to query (or 437), just

Echo out your sql query and see if you get what you should.

Hello Jackson
Are there any circumstances under which the cvjobcats table would have

not, you really don't need to use the LEFT JOINS. Instead you coudl do 
something like this:

SELECT cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job, 
jobcat.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcats
WHERE cvjobcats.cv=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats_jobcat = 4 AND

Listen, I don't have the foggiest idea what pam_auth() does.  Maybe it's
some PHP code that you have... but I have never seen it.  So unless you

you have verified that by doing?:
print_r($_POST);
and you can confirm that you can authenticate against PAM via
another means (outside of php) with those same credentials?
have you followed all the steps mentioned here?:
http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~ccunning/pam_auth/INSTALL

This is a example of how I'm using the function:
pam_auth($_POST[uname], $_POST[passwd], &$error)
in the mean time...
do: $_POST['uname']
and not:$_POST[uname]
not that that will fix your problem!
and seeing as you are using php5 the '&' sign preceeding the $error var
is not really cool either - the function should define that its passed by 
reference,
call-time-pass-by-reference (or whatever the  its officially called) is
depreciated.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Also agreed... although he probably didn't intend it to come out that
way, it was quite a rude question to ask.

All of this being said: believe it or not there actually *are* some open
source ERP apps out there.  I even know of one that is written in PHP.
While it looks quite promising it is nowhere near completion.  Perhaps
if Morty is truly interested in an open source ERP app he might decide
to help out that project?

Details to possibly follow...

Re: [PHP] software catalog

Hey!
Thanks for replying.

Hot scripts and script search ware the two places which i checked out first
before writing to the list, then google, because I dont need a jackass who
has been on the list for 2 days telling me to f***ing google for it, just
coz it would make him feel happy with himself :-)

I dont want to build this from scratch as I am sure there must be quite a
few out there, i'm just surprised that nobody has recommended one that they
used or heard about other than Chris (from this same list)

A very basic cart would do but searching for shopping cart php gives me
hundreds of results, its really hard sorting through all that trying to find
one that caters to just software selling.
I have not checked SF as yet, thanks for the tip, will hit that immd after
this email.

In the meantime if anything comes to mind please drop me a line.

Thanks,
Ryan

Generally an "Internal Server Error" is caused by server
misconfiguration(s).

Start out by checking your scripts for any ini_set() functions that
might have caused a problem (not likely, but hey give the guy the
benefit of the doubt).

Ask your sysadmin how errors are handled... for example what error code
will the server send when you have E_ERROR in a PHP script?  If the
answer is "Internal Server Error", then check out what you modified last
night and try to find that E_ERROR.

Did you create the PHP files as a different user?  More directly, are
your PHP files readable by PHP?

Did you enable any extensions last night?  Or disable any extensions for
that matter?

Did you touch PHP.ini?

Finally... did he update the PHP installation (new version, new php.ini
file, new apache conf file / changed IIS, anything)?

two, but sometimes it says there are like 8 or 9 messages that bounced.   Has 
anyone looked into this or have any information regarding this?

Reply to the list.
Where are _YOUR_ error logs?  I have no idea.  I don't know what web 
server software you're running, how you installed it, where you 
installed it, etc.

Honestly, if you don't know where your error logs are, you really need 
to RTFM for your web server software.

[PHP] Newbie Variable Question

[Jackson Linux]

Hi, All,
A php variable question.
I've done this to take the requested category from the URL  
(www.foo.com/file.htm?r=1)
and use it to build the page:

if (isset($_GET['r']) && !empty($_GET['r'])) {
$r = "'{$_GET['r']}'"; //Set the variable $r to mean the category number
$fields = '*';
} else {
$where = '';
$fields =  
'cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,  
jobcat.category';
$sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort";
}

$sql = "
SELECT  
cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat 
.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND  
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id";

In this case $r comes out literally to the number surrounded by single  
quotes (ie, '1'). And it works great.

But I need *just* the number for something later (to fetch an include  
based on the category selected by $r). Since I've set the value of the  
field cv.category to mean the english translation from the intersecting  
table, using

 asks for  
cv.'1'.include.php ... And I need it to ask for cv.1.include.php

How can I make a variable to fetch the literal number from the field  
cv.category?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [PHP] PHP 5.0.3 and base64 encoded cookie value issue?

[Pink Floyd]

Greetings,
 I tested Richard's suggestion below, and it appears
that 'urlencode' is not the function that I want.
 Are there any other options? Does anyone know what
PHP uses internally to 'munge' the cookie? I looked at
the php.ini doc's and I could not find any option to
turn off whatever 'encoding' PHP uses internally.

>From the spec, it appears that the encoding of cookie
is recommended but not required. Obviously, our non
php server uses base64 encoding for the cookie. So the
question would be can we plug-in a handler to change
the  decoding for what-ever php uses or even better to
turn it off?

Thanks
MK

[PHP] imagedestroy()

[Edward Vermillion]

Sorry if this is an old subject but it's new to me. I have a 'default' 
Fedora Core 1 installation of Apache2 v2.0.48 and php v4.3.8. I've 
noticed a problem in one of the scripts i had written a few months ago, 
but I was testing it on a Red Hat 8 system at the time and I'm not sure 
if the memory limit is default on that system or not. Anyway, what I've 
got is a script that is generating thumbnails from a batch of images in 
a directory, about 5000 images are being counted. While the script 
worked fine when i wrote  it a few months ago, on the different system, 
I was recently trying to use it and was repeatedly getting memory limit 
errors at an 8MB limit. What the script does is load an image in 
memory, create three different thumbnail sizes for the image, 
imagedestroy() is being called after each thumbnail build to kill the 
thumb, and then finally I'm calling imagedestroy() at the end of the 
iteration for that image to kill the original in memory before going on 
to the next image. What it appears to me is that imagedestroy() is not 
actually freeing the memory for use on the next cycle. While this 
doesn't really effect the scripts I have that are just generating 
thumbnails from a single image, the batch scripts I have are 
continually failing after about three iterations. I did increase the 
memory limit enough to get the script to finish, and php is apparently 
doing it's job in cleaning up when the script finishes so there's not a 
real threat to the server if I run the scripts during slow times. But 
it is a bit annoying that the function isn't working as it should. I 
noticed a few memory issues in the bugs pages relating to gd, and the 
resolution stated that it was a gd problem,  so I didn't want to bother 
the php maintainers with another one. What I'm wondering is if anyone 
else has noticed this behavior, and aside from increasing the memory 
limit, have you found an alternative? I'm really trying to keep the 
scripts I have portable, so I haven't looked at ImageMagic, but I was 
wondering if the shmop functions might be the way to go with this. I do 
have reservations about using that though since it's not a 'default' in 
the build and I have some servers that I have no control over the 
software side of things, and I am trying to make these as generic as 
possible. If you've gotten this far thanks, sorry it turned out to be 
so long, but this is a rather important problem in what I'm coding.

Hey!
Thanks for replying.

Hot scripts and script search ware the two places which i checked out
first before writing to the list, then google, because I dont need a
jackass who has been on the list for 2 days telling me to f***ing google
for it, just coz it would make him feel happy with himself :-)

I dont want to build this from scratch as I am sure there must be quite
a few out there, i'm just surprised that nobody has recommended one that
they used or heard about other than Chris (from this same list)

A very basic cart would do but searching for shopping cart php gives me
hundreds of results, its really hard sorting through all that trying to
find one that caters to just software selling.
I have not checked SF as yet, thanks for the tip, will hit that immd
after this email.

In the meantime if anything comes to mind please drop me a line.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ever heard of the paragraph?  You should look into it

Strange that imagedestroy() is not freeing memory because, well, that's
what it is supposed to do.  I checked bugs.php.net and didn't find any
bug reports that match this description.  IMO you should submit a bug
report there and let the developers assess the problem.  My guess is
they will want to fix this.

Hi, All,

I've done this to take the requested category from the URL  
(www.foo.com/file.htm?r=1)
and use it to build the page:

if the category number is really always supposed to be an integer
(and that it must always be greater than 0, actually in 'real' DBs
an id doesn't have to be a positive number, zero and minus-numbers
are also fine) then:
if ( isset($_GET['r']) &&
 !empty($_GET['r']) &&
 ($r = intval($_GET['r'])) )
{
 // ...
} else {
 // ...
}
if you are sure that $r is a positive integer there is
no need to wrap it in quotes for use in the SQL, or
why not place the single quotes directly in the SQL:
$r = 1;
 $sql = "
SELECT 
cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id";
// OR
 $sql = "
SELECT 
cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = '$r' AND
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id";
i.e. DONT WRAP change $r into a string which contains an integer wrapped in
single-quotes - JUST LEAVE IT AS AN INTEGER.
if (isset($_GET['r']) && !empty($_GET['r'])) {
$r = "'{$_GET['r']}'"; //Set the variable $r to mean the category number
$fields = '*';
} else {
$where = '';
$fields =  
'cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,  
jobcat.category';
$sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort";
}

$sql = "

cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat 
.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND  
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id";

In this case $r comes out literally to the number surrounded by single  
quotes (ie, '1'). And it works great.

But I need *just* the number for something later (to fetch an include  
indeed - STORE THE NUMBER IN $r - leave the single quotes out of it!
based on the category selected by $r). Since I've set the value of the  
field cv.category to mean the english translation from the intersecting

 and then this will 'just work'
 asks for  
cv.'1'.include.php ... And I need it to ask for cv.1.include.php

How can I make a variable to fetch the literal number from the field  
cv.category?
if you a really stubborn SOB then you could do this:
$r = "'1'";
$x = (int) str_replace("'",'',$r); // warning this is lame

not really - what matters is that you understand typecasting in php.
a string when cast to an integer will always be zero unless the string
begins with numeric chars, in which case php will take all the numeric chars
it finds until it comes across a char that is not numeric and return those chars
(I don't know exactly how it handles decimal points and minus signs in such as 
case)
echo (int) "1string";
echo (int) "string1";

[PHP] PHP5.0.3-3 on RedHat

[Bronislav Klucka]

Hi,
does anybody have PHP5.0.3-3 rpms files for RH9? I also need imap, 
openssl, curl, etc. :)

I'm looking every day on internet, but I cannot find it.

Re: [PHP] Re: Newbie Variable Question

[Jackson Linux]

Jochem and everyone,
Thanks, this solved the problem.
Regarding someone's much appreciated comment:
[this]...allows any user to simply change the value of "r" to 
something more to
their liking. given the reset of the code that you included in your
first message, who knows what nice holes they'll find in your code when
they do that. depending on where you go with this, they could end up
with information for/about another user, a nice sql injection on your
database, the ability to hack your system, or something else equally
amusing.

I agree, and actually had thought of it. I appreciate your reminding 
me. Because I am new enough that I still find a magical thrill every 
time I pull *anything* from the database, I have been approaching this 
from this point of view:

1. Make db
2. Try to get page to connect
3. Try to print what I want by setting the variable $r so I can point 
to it
4. Fix it so that if someone asks for anything other than an existent 
?r=x  it kicks back a webpage which just shows links to existing pages.

Which brings me to the next question, which I'll post in a second!
Thanks again everyone!

not really - what matters is that you understand typecasting in php.
a string when cast to an integer will always be zero unless the string
begins with numeric chars, in which case php will take all the numeric 
chars
it finds until it comes across a char that is not numeric and return 
those chars
(I don't know exactly how it handles decimal points and minus signs in 
such as case)

echo (int) "1string";
echo (int) "string1";

[PHP] Question re empty query

$fields = '*';

Re: [PHP] Shared variable / exclusive locking?

[the_roibm]

ok, so the solution is shm or shmop, but there is something I'm not
sure about it...
the way I wanna go is shm and sem and the things that are clear are:
- use sem to block multiple processes(or threads) writing to the same shm block
- there is no need to use sem for reading since multiple
processes(threads) can read safely from the same shm block

what is not that clear is... what happens when a process reads and
another writes exactly at the same time? do the read operations behave
like some sort of transactions that ensure you get the content
available in the shm block at the beginning of the read even when it
is changed during the read? I guess this is not the case, so how would
you handle this properly?

You have 3 conditions in a single expression. Split that expression up 
into multiple expressions, so you can check each (or a combination of 2) 
individually.

so, instead of:
if (isset($_GET['r']) && !empty($_GET['r']) && ($r = intval($_GET['r']))){
do:
if (isset($_GET['r'])) {
if(!empty($_GET['r']) && ($r = intval($_GET['r']))){
// do whatever
} else {
// something boring
}
} else {
// not set
}

It's been a long time since I've done it this way, but I think it's 
something like this (I'm sure someone on the list will correct my 
errors)

Download and extract the source.
CD to the source directory...
>$ ./configure --add-your-options

>$ tar -cf php-5.0.3xx.tar php-5.0.3xx/
>$ rpmbuild -ta php-5.03xx.tar
Untested, but I think that's the steps.  You can also try 'make rpm' 
after you configure the source.  I seem to remember something along 
those lines.

Course, if you're going to go thru all that trouble, you could just 
build it all from source, and bypass the whole RPM process. ;)

[PHP] how can I determine the built options of PHP

[Uwe Galle]

Hi,

some applications like Horde require special build options, eg.

--with-apache or: --with-apxs
--with-gettext
--with-mysql
--with-mcrypt
--with-iconv --enable-mbstring --with-mbstring=all
--with-gd

I don't want to setup my own build environment at the moment because I dont 
have the tools available now. I downloaded the PHP 5.0.3 Windows Binaries 
and want to know what options these Binaries were build with. How can I find 
out this? With phpinfo I didn't find this information.

Thanks for any help.

You don't and you can't. PHP does not interact with the client (like you are thinking it does) and 
Javascript does not interact with the server. They are completely different and not related, except 
that PHP can send Javascript to the client for the client to interpret.

its not strictly correct to say javascript is 'clientside'.

It's a bit confusing at first but once you understand it, you'll wonder why it ever didn't make sense.

[Jason Barnett]

I'm not 100% sure what options are used in the Windows build by default,
but for windows everything is wrapped up into extensions.  You need
mysql, you enable the appropriate mysql .dll.  You need Apache, you use
the appropriate apache .dll.  And all of that is controlled through
php's ini and/or the apache conf file.

Now if you *really* want to build PHP on Windows you can get a free
(GPL) compiler.  Just go download cygwin and use gcc.

Hi there,
my Server worked fine for several month now with php 4.3.4.
Since a few hours (without changing anything for the last days) PHP

I have no idea where to start searching for the problem as the logs

Jackson got that bit from me - I don't think he is fully aware of what that
expression is doing!
the 'sum' of those conditions determines that either $r is 'good' or 'bad'
(whether $r is garbage or not set didn't seem like a difference worth bothering
with)
into multiple expressions, so you can check each (or a combination of 2) 
individually.
this is a good idea to better understand what is going on!
so, instead of:

Since a few hours (without changing anything for the last days) PHP 
reboot? lame yes, but maybe it works.
otherwise specify some server details here.
check if files (e.g. the php binary, conf files) have changed
(maybe a very recent filetime?)
doesn't 'know' basic commands as mysql_connect() or session_start() ...
(e.g.: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() )
I have no idea where to start searching for the problem as the logs 
don't tell anything about it!
mysql is an extension but session_start is core I believe - very odd
that session_start() is not defined.
Thx for help in advance.

It's part of a game. In the RPG there are dates which the players would like
to be able to convert from our calendar to that one, and back again..

Aye.. it's nearest day, and according to calculations should have repeatable
results. So what is date X today should also be it tomorrow (after the
calculations of course). That's what i've noticed so far. when I add a date
and convert it and then convert it back it is a different date.

It's mostly the past. The RPG is set in Egypt and the beginning of the
society in egypt has been taken as year 0. The start date I think is
obvious, but I do not understand an end date of a calendar.. Perhaps I'm
just blond.. but could you perhaps explain that one?

I've found where the problem came from: I was using PHP 4.3.9 (sorry for

I have removed 4.3.4 via Yast and want to compile 4.3.10 now.

[PHP] Best way to validate a date

[David Bevan]

Hi all,

I'm looking to validate a date submitted through a
form and I cannot decide which would be the best way
to do it.  The form of the date needs to be:
-MM-DD.
At the moment I'm torn between using a regex,
something like: 20[\d][\d]-[0-1][\d]-[0-3][\d]
or using the checkdate() function.

Does anyone have any pros and/or cons to implement one
method over the other or other methods you may have
used?

Thanks,
David

I agree but thats not a reason to write to this list with that crap, I
replied to him with two words...the first word started with a F and was four
letters, the second was a three letter word :-)

I also agree with the bloke about boycotting that site and I vote we also
write "bad things" about that site on all the websites we control :-D

As for the spam part, writing one email to a person I think cannot be called
spam...but I think this falls into spam as he wrote to the list which spills
out to many many peopleits as good as if he copied all the addresses
from the list and used a mass mailer to mail the message/crap/spam to all of
us individually

My $0.02

Re: [PHP] Help with dates

[Jochem Maas]

...
Why re-invent the wheel?

It's part of a game. In the RPG there are dates which the players would like
to be able to convert from our calendar to that one, and back again..

In order to do that I need to find the exact days since the year 0
BC/AD.
why is OBC relevant, I read later on that you take the start of egyptian
civilization as zero. is that not much earlier.
whats the structure of the egyptian|rpg calendar?

However, the functions php provides only allow up to the unix epoch.
Could you guys give me some pointers on how to accomplish this,
accurately?
Take a look at the MySQL date ranges -- They may have a data type that
allows for more than just 1/1/1970 to 3/??/2038
If not, consider using PostgreSQL which has VERY extensive and flexible
date support, for ranges MUCH larger than 0 BC/AD.
http://postgresql.org
I believe PostgreSQL even supports time scales on the order of geological
events and for astronomical purposes, though not with "day" accuracy.
+1 on using a DB to calculate and format dates on this one :-)
I'm guessing Kevins probably written an SQL statement before and he's
already proved he can RTFPM (P for PHP)
I am assuming that by "accurately" you mean "to the nearest day" since you
spoke of "exact days", right?

Aye.. it's nearest day, and according to calculations should have repeatable
results. So what is date X today should also be it tomorrow (after the
calculations of course). That's what i've noticed so far. when I add a date
and convert it and then convert it back it is a different date.
show us some code :-)

But you didn't define how far into the future you need to go.
Current time?
A few years out?
Stardates from Star Trek?
You have to specify a start date, end date, and accuracy to choose a
correct calendar system.

It's mostly the past. The RPG is set in Egypt and the beginning of the
society in egypt has been taken as year 0. The start date I think is
obvious, but I do not understand an end date of a calendar.. Perhaps I'm

[PHP] shell script - disable log output

Hello...
I'm writing a shell script that uses error_log function to log some

message to the log file.

Code I use (php5 on unix):
*
#!/usr/local/php/bin/php -q

OUTPUT:

My error message

How can I prevent the error messages from being echoed to the client?

Better use checkdate, since it checks if the date really exists (not 
just well formatted).
Mabye do something like this:

list($check_year,$check_month,$check_day) = explode("-",$date);
if (checkdate($check_month,$check_day,$check_year))
echo "Date is valid";
else
echo "Date is not valid";

[PHP] Question regarding simplexml predefined constants

[Allan, David (ThomasTech)]

In reading the documentation on simplexml predefined constants, I see a note
that says these were added to "PHP 5.1.0".

Am I reading that [future] version correctly, and I can expect that these
are to be released in a forthcoming stable release, and in fact do not yet
exist in the version I am using (5.0.3)?

[PHP] Quickform - edit form

[Leonie \(phpgroup\)]

I've set up a form using Quickform. I've got it working a dream. My 
problem is at the moment it only adds records to the database. I would 
like to also have an edit form. I don't know what is easiest. Amend the 
existing form so it enters data and edits it, or have two different 
webpages.

Also I'm having trouble working out how to assign data to the form. Can 
anyone point me to an example?

It comes down to the amount of information that you can store in memory.
 Consider: my start date is 6000 BC.  And I believe that the universe
will end around, say, 320 Quadrillion AD.  And I want accuracy in my
calendar (that is I can convert time) to the nearest second.  Good luck
finding a computer that can easily handle that!  Heck, good luck even
trying to store all of the seconds of the calendar as bytes on the computer!

This problem is related to the Y2K "bug".  Back when hard drive storage
/ memory was more expensive they needed to find ways to express more
information with less technology.  So they traded accuracy for
efficiency and dates were stored with two digits in each year.  It was
ok though because the expected life of the program wasn't supposed to be
beyond 2000.

So getting back to *this* problem... what exactly is the relevant span
of time?  Will game time in the RPG extend for thousands of years?
Hundreds of thousands?  Would it really be ancient Egypt once you make
it past 0 BC?

So decide on an upper limit for the game calendar.  And decide the
accuracy you need (nearest day, etc.) and then you can create functions
that will do the necessary date conversions.  It can be in PHP or in the
DB itself... but that's the next step in the decision process.  :)

That is a safe assumption.  The dev team has been working on the 5.1.0
release for some time now and I guess the documentation team got to this
one early.  And no, they do not exist in your current version (5.0.3).

Besides, I can't change the syntax of the error_log which is used with

[PHP] Creating Reports with PHP

[Mike Smith]

I am trying to find a systematic way to develop reports for our custom
web app. What I've done in the past is basically create a query, dump
it to an HTML table, and put a link to open the report in Excel. I
would like to develop a report system that would allow a user (I have
2 advanced users that are comfortable at creating SQL queries) to
copy-and-paste a query into a form, identify how the report should be
grouped and add basic functions like sum() a particular column. Not an
outstanding solution security wise.

I'm currently investingating phpreports
(http://phpreports.sourceforge.net/). It looks promising, but it's not
working in my environment (Windows, SQL Server 2000)...yet. It's
getting there, but are there any other "reporting" packages anyone
could recommend? phpclasses.org had several, ,but they were MySQL
specific. I'd like, ideally, to be able to use MSSQL,Postgres or MySQL
(ADODB or PEAR).

TIA,
Mike Smith

I always go for the "one form" system, because otherwise you have double
the work to do (opening two files) every little change, and invariably one
of the forms drifts out of sync when (not if, when) you forget to change
the other form and...

Assigning data to the form mostly consists of using the VALUE= attribute
in HTML tags, except TEXTAREA where it goes between opening/closing tag.

Basic logic flow:



   //form data here


Yes, you display the form again with the data to edit, right after an insert.

That's by DESIGN, since it will help catch "ooops!" on data entry by
re-confirming with the user what they just did.  Better data entry is
good.

Use either HTML_QuickForm::setDefaults() to set defaults for all 
elements or HTML_QuickForm_element::setValue() to set value for 
individual elements. Former is simpler, and if you name the forms 
elements after the table columns, you can directly pass in array fetched

What problem?

Looks to me like you did "make install" and it worked fine...

Re-start Apache and see what happens.

You'd want to do more than just echo the output, of course.

"the log file"...

*WHAT* log file?

A shell script has no pre-determined log file, really.

Actually, it's almost for sure STDOUT at that point, or maybe STDOUT, but
I doubt it.  If you were coding PHP engine and needed to send error output
somewhere under shell circumstances, you'd think STDOUT would be "it"
right?...

So you can probably re-direct 2 (STDOUT) to somewhere to get the error_log
output where you want it.

I think in most shells that turns into:
test.php 2> /var/log/test
YMMV
It's up to you to figure out re-directs in your shell of choice.  Good luck.

You should probably use can use set_error_handler to trap errors -- though
that will not catch error_log output, I don't think.

You can also use set_error_reporting() to get rid of errors entirely,
though that's not recommended.

Here's your IDEAL calendar:

Your start date is 0 BC.

So let's make that be represented by: 0
Day 1 is, errr, December 26, 0 BC, represented by: 1
Day 2, December 27, 0 BC, represented by: 3
.
.
.

You can now calculate what's 2 billion+ (0x to be precise) days
later, and that would be the last date you could conveniently represent in
a 32-bit integer.

Do you expect the characters/events in your RPG to extend beyond 2 billion
days from December 25, 0 BC?

If so, then a 32-bit integer, one integer per day, simply won't cut it.

If not, then the above is an "ideal" date system.

Now, that was your "ideal" system.  Find a system that comes close to that.

http://mysql.com
http://postgresql.org

PS Historians are ready to shoot me for using 12/25/ as 0 BC, but
that's their problem, not mine.  It's an RPG.  We're not looking for
historical accuracy here!

phpinfo() lists the paramters used to compile PHP, so they *should* be
there, even under Windows, I think.

If not, do this:
php -i | grep GD

Either you see GD, or it ain't in there.

That said, under Windows, you just uncomment the php_gd.dll line in
php.ini and you're done.

I don't really need it to log into a file, but I wanted to prevent it 
from echoing to the screen.

So I guess there's no way to prevent from error_log() (using defaults) 
to echo to the screen (STDOUT).
error_reporting() affects on errors produced by PHP itself. I tried to 
set it to 0 before the call, but it didn't help.
set_error_handler() affects on trigger_error() and not on error_log().

It seems that the extern lib I use should use trigger_error() (or 
user_error()) function instead, which is the traditional way to report 
user-defined errors.

Thanks for your help all...

It's entirely possible that imagedestroy() works fine, but you've got some
*other* memory leak going on...

Hmmm.

Okay, show us some "before" and "after" values.

It's *GOT* to be something not unlike urldecoding if it changes + to space.

Damn!  PHP's urlencode might use %20 instead of + (or vice versa) so then
the urldecode and urlencode are not be true inverse functions, for
space/%20/+ scenarios.

For starters, you should quote uname and passwd.

It's clear you also have error_reporting too low on your development
server, or PHP would complain about that.

You should not have the & in there.

Finally, according to the pam_auth FAQ, if you using a passwd or shadow
file, your user has to have read permission to read that file.  Seems like
the most likely reason for failure, based on what little info you give
us...

Since the data only changes when you write it, at the end of the script,
you could maybe get away with the transaction only being in the
session_save handler, and be sure to rollback or commit your business
logic before that.

That would for sure take a lot of discipline, and might even be downright
impossible for what you need, but it's worth pondering.
