A better option may be to just use mod_rewrite.  Something along the
lines of:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$  $1.php [T=application/x-httpd-php,L]

You should verify this with the mod_rewrite docs, but this should only
rewrite a request for whatever.html to whatever.php if whatever.html
doesn't exist.  I suppose you could also add a condition to only do the
rewrite if $1.php exists.


I tried something similar to the above. I had a directory that has 
sample php scripts that I use for explaining a concept.  I was hoping 
that the following mod_rewrite would take all requests for .phps and 
parse them as x-httpd-php-source, but it doesn't work, as phps files are 
parsed as php.


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+\.php)s$ $1 [T=application/x-httpd-php-source,L]

Does anyone know of a way to make this work? Is it even possible?

Rasmus:

  A few months back you posted some Apache settings that allow one to 
run both php5 and php on the same Apache instance using mod_proxy 
(iirc).  Can you please post that again? I can't seem to google for it 
in the archives.

Whoops!

If you've set php.ini to ALWAYS start a session, then you don't need
session_start() after all. Sorry!

You may still be experiencing the bug where session data comes back as
"string references"

var_dump($_SESSION);

in several places.

If you see & in front of your strings, then that's your problem.

That object is tightly tied to the connection.

It ain't gonna survive  either.

I guess...

If it's working for you, and you are aware that the object you create when
you un-serialize has lost some of its inherent properties, I think, then I
guess it's okay.

Does it actually work?  I mean, can you iterate through the rows it returned?

I guess my first question should have been:

Why?

What do you gain by serializing and unserializing a result object?

NOTE:
It's possible the mysqli API is *so* different from mysql API that the
properties I'm thinking of aren't there any more.
Or maybe it's only in PostgreSQL that some connection-specific properties
are tied to a result resource?

It's pretty rare that you REALLY want to blindly copy ALL $_GET arguments,
but you can:

$get = '';
reset($_GET);
while (list($k, $v) = each($_GET)){
  $get .= "&k=" . urlencode($v);
}
$get[0] = '?';


But you should *PROBABLY* be checking for specific values in $_GET, making
sure they are "clean" and passing on only those values.

$kosher = '[^A-Za-z0-9\'"\\. ,-]';
$name = $_GET['name'];
$zip = $_GET['zip'];
$zip = (int) $zip; //Assuming only 5-digit zip code will ever be used in
this application
$zip = sprintf("%05s", $zip);
$name = preg_replace($kosher, '', $name);
$url = "?name=" . urlencode($name) . "&zip=$zip";

You can probably do this in SQL faster than in PHP.

[PHP] getting the email addresses in a sendable format.

[Ross]

Hi,

I have a database of 300 email addresses retrieved with a select statement.

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

  $email_addresses[] = $row['email'];

  }

But I have having trouble assiging them to the variable $recipients. Really 
what i want is to convert

$email_addresses[0] = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$email_addresses[1] = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
$email_addresses[2] = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

into

$recipients= "[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]";

Two points here...

(i) I believe php uses comas (,) instead of semi-colons(;) between the email 
addresses
(ii) does the space between addresses matter? I would rather have it as my 
user could see the recipeints more clearly.

You want the implode() function using a line like this:

$recipients = implode(', ', $email_addresses);

This will create a string of all the values in each element of the
$email_addresses array, separated by a comma and a space (of course you
can change this to anything you want). You can find more information
about the function here:

http://www.php.net/implode

> (ii) does the space between addresses matter? I would rather have it as my

As far as I'm aware, any standards compliant mail server will just
ignore the extra whitespace so you are free to insert spaces if you so
desire.

RE: [PHP] Two websites need to share part of one database, suggestions please

[Nathan Tobik]

This seems to be the best option of the one you presented.  If you start
duplicating data you will have a situation where your data will get out
of sync eventually.  You can have a lookup table with the keys to the
items that belong to website two, just look in the lookup table to get
your key, then get the row.  This eliminates the need to have an extra
column on every table.  Best of luck

Nate Tobik

4. Add a field to each table that will differentiate which website the
record belongs to. e.g. 'SELECT * FROM orders WHERE website = 2'.

Now that I'm thinking about it, this option seems to ultimately be the
same as #1. I can't think of any inherent benefits to this option.


Which option should I go for? Is there another option I'm not
considering?


Thanks!

If the field is a numeric type (e.g. INT) as opposed to numeric data
being stored in a character field (e.g. a telephone number) then it is
not only unnecessary to quote the value, it's also incorrect useage of
SQL, although you'd probably get away with it in most database systems.

I agree. What's best is to ensure the val is of the proper type before
sending it to the db. Try casting it first; if the value is blank, it'll
cast as 0 (though that may not be optimal, either, if your record could
be 0):

$query = "DELETE FROM sheet1 WHERE id = " . (int)$id;

Also probably best to check if it's empty, something such as:

if (!empty($id)) {
$query = 'DELETE FROM sheet1 WHERE id = ' . (int)$id;
} else {
echo 'Argument $id was empty';
}

HTH!

If the id field is numeric and the $id is not set the query will return
a syntax error due to the query being seen as this...

SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id = ;

The problems multiply when the id field is of the auto-increment type.
Some RDBMS have settings that will allow conditionals, such as WHERE
id=1, to be evaluated as TRUE or FALSE, which accounts for my previous
statement. id, in this case, may be a bad example because most
developers would like a more qualified conditional match before a
deletion occurs. I would never let my development team use the id (or
whatever it was called, especially an auto-increment field) for record
retrieval or deletion. In general you would not have to use quotes
around fields that are INTs, FLOATs, etc.

P.S. Paul, click reply-all when sending messages back to this list. I

You can't make several definitions of constructors. What you _CAN_ do is
to use func_get_args ( www.php.net/func_get_args ) to determine how many
args were passed :)

[PHP] PHP 4.4.0 Released!

[Derick Rethans]

Hello!

The PHP Development Team would like to announce the immediate release of 
PHP 4.4.0. This is a maintenance release that addresses a serious memory 
corruption problem within PHP concerning references. If references were 
used in a wrong way, PHP would often create memory corruptions which 
would not always surface and be visible. The increased middle digit was 
required because the fix that corrected the problem with references 
changed PHP's internal API. PHP 4.4.0 does not have any new features, 
and is solely a bugfix release.

A separate release announcement is also available. For changes in PHP 
4.4.0 since PHP 4.3.11, please consult the PHP 4 ChangeLog. 

Release Announcement: http://www.php.net/release_4_4_0.php
Downloads:http://www.php.net/downloads.php#v4
Changelog:http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php#4.4.0

Check out http://php.net/glob. This might not be the best way to do it 
if you have *lots* of files since it returns all matches in an array.


A regex to match might look something like \d\d\d\d\d\d\-\d\d\d\d\.txt 
but I'm no regex expert.

[gmourani]

Hello,

I've upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.8 and PHP 4.4.0 and get the following error
durring compilation.

chmod 755 /var/tmp/php-4.4.0-root/usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp4.so

Look like PHP still check for version 0.9.7 even if 0.9.8 is now
installed. Does someone on this list have a patch or information to fix
this problem? Thanks.

I don't bother with perfect tag validation, and I doubt the phpbb
bbcode people do either since they average about 2-3 exploits a month
on Bugtraq.

I allow a specific set of safe html tags and I provide a preview
function.  Even after that, if the user goofs up I allow a specific
time span in which to edit the post to correct the goof.

If you stick to the plain vanilla HTML tags such as i, b, u, etc then
BBCode is pointless - I agreed on this with you several posts ago. I
don't however use it just for that, I use it to let thousands of kids
add a little sparkle to their messages/profiles with colours, images,
etc -- without them having to have good CSS/HTML knowledge (most of them
could handle a font tag, but that'd break my XHTML Trans). This is the
point I argued all along to which I get "it's not really a security
benefit" (no, it's a user benefit) and it's a "misuse of cpu cycles".

For people I hold in such high regard, I'm ashamed at the lot of you :)

Not that I'd let an install of phpBB anywhere near a site I run, they
didn't invent BBCode, and in all fairness to those guys the majority
of their exploits are elsewhere.

Ditto. I just don't force them to use HTML.

PST is normally -8:00GMT. Currently it is -7:00GMT because of Daylight

instead of hardcoding the 7.

[PHP] how to get time cost for MySQL query

[x]

Hi, Is there any MySQL lib function which can provide time cost for last
query?

Since we can see the time cost each time we query MySQL through MySQL
console (such as 75 rows in set (0.01 sec)), so I am wondering there is
already an existing function which will return the value...

Thanks

[PHP] Problem installing in Win2003 Server SP1

[Grosz, Steve (IPG IT)]

I have been trying for several days to get PHP 4.x installed on my
Win2003 SP1 server.  I am doing the manual (isapi) install.  I modified
my php.ini file, I think correctly. And added the extension into
IIS6, pointing to the \php directory and the php4isapi.dll file.

When I try to view a php file, even one that returns the basics showing
if PHP is running or not, I get a 'page can't be found'

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Steve

The issue is that in php you can't definitely say what type a variable

[PHP] still trying to cURL.

[Jon]

I have minimal experience with cURL but have had some success with it.

I am trying to download some invoices that are posted every month.  I am
able to get a login to the https: and get the first few pages but when I try
to get the invoices I get an error page with this content.

HTTP Status 500 -


type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it
from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
 ..
39 lines of error messages

Everything seems to work fine up to the point that I am given a jsessionID
on the third page that is curled.  It seems to be writing the info to the
cookie file but I don't know if I am handling it incorrectly or if that has
anything to do with it.

I have downloaded LiveHTTPHeaders version 0.10 available here
http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/index.html to see if I was missing any of
the information that has been passed and having compared the log file I can
say that I am passing the same information as the mozilla browser.  does
anyone have any suggestions.

and an RTFM is fine but I have been over several of the links posted
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/ so if you tell me RTFM please send my idiot self
to the correct page.

Check out http://php.net/glob. This might not be the best way to do it 
if you have *lots* of files since it returns all matches in an array.

A regex to match might look something like \d\d\d\d\d\d\-\d\d\d\d\.txt 
but I'm no regex expert.

[PHP] creating of multi dimensional arrays with unknown depth

[Ben-Nes Yonatan]

Hi all!

I got a string which include information for categories that I need to 
build, the string is built like this:

$string = "val1~~val2~~val3~~val4~~val5"

Now, I want to create from this string a multi dimensional array and not 
one dimension array as explode('~~', $string) will give me.


The desired result from this string is:

$array['val1']  = 'whatever';
$array['val1']['val2']  = 'whatever';
$array['val1']['val2']['val3']  = 'whatever';
$array['val1']['val2']['val3']['val4']  = 'whatever';
$array['val1']['val2']['val3']['val4']['val'5]  = 'whatever';

My problem is that the number of the dimensions is really unknown and 
can be changed from 1 to 20 as far as I know.


Is there a way to create such a dynamic depth in an automatic way and 
not by using lots of if's?


Thanks in advance,
Ben-Nes Yonatan

[PHP] Help installing on Win2003 server?

[Grosz, Steve (IPG IT)]

Can someone tell me where I can find some detailed instructions on how
to install PHP on a Win2003 Server?  I've tried to install it using the
PHP instructions, but it doesn't seem to be working, think I'm missing
something.
 
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Re: Security, Late Nights and Overall Paranoia

[Evert | Rooftop]

The point is..

If you for example only allow  and  doing this with bbcode 
would require extra cpu-cycles to convert [i] to 


I don't really agree with this, because I think escaping the html + 
replacing bbcode would require less cpu cycles then scanning the string 
for invalid html and escaping them.


Maybe someone has the time to benchmark this?

Whatever the outcome will be, I would still prefer  over [i] because 
I'm a standards guy =)

Evert

Thanks for the example.

But I'm still at a loss as to what strategy I should take regarding

Should I create two databases where one database has the product
information and the other does not? Or should I create one giant
database with duplicate tables? That is, one database with 'customers'
and 'customers_two'?

[PHP] Ugh. Need some advice...

[aaronjw]

Sorry for the OT guys but I really need some advice.

I've just started a new company with a friend/associate of mine where we
will be selling about 5 products for now.

Obviously, I don't require a major front-end but I do require excellent
functionality for the back-end. Order Management, export to Quickbooks,
Affiliate/Referral Management, etc.

Due to a time issue I kind of need to get this in place rather quickly and
given the Quickbooks export featurer that's required... development of
this on my own makes it more unlikely.

Can anyone recommend a software package (free or paid... don't care) that
does what I am looking for? Like I said, simplistic in the front-end, but
full featured in the back-end.

Oh, and it must be VERY easy for us to integrate our current
design...quickly.

Thanks and once again sorry for the OT.

will be selling about 5 products for now.

Obviously, I don't require a major front-end but I do require excellent
functionality for the back-end. Order Management, export to Quickbooks,
Affiliate/Referral Management, etc.

Due to a time issue I kind of need to get this in place rather quickly and
given the Quickbooks export featurer that's required... development of
this on my own makes it more unlikely.

Can anyone recommend a software package (free or paid... don't care) that
does what I am looking for? Like I said, simplistic in the front-end, but
full featured in the back-end.

Oh, and it must be VERY easy for us to integrate our current
design...quickly.

Another possibility would be adding a new table that relates products
to sites. This allows a one (product) to many (sites) relationship
without changing the products table. The same could be applied to the
other tables.

That is because your php code made the directory and is therefore the owner.

 There is not going to be 1 easy solution that you can just magically tie in 
to your existing design. No matter what solution you chose, you are going to 
have to hack around to get it all working (any pre-written script). If it 
"DOES" everything you need, then you are not going to get any further with 
any other product. You are eventually going to have to succumb to 
integrating it with your existing design because the only other choice you 
have is writing your own cart/back end.

Thanks. Appreciate your words.

I agree with you. Just a question now of whether to hire them to do the
design integration or attempt to figure it out ourselves. With a new
start-up, money is one thing we don't have while time is something we do
have.

The sadder part is, I could probably write the cart/back-end in the same
time it took me to figure out the templating but obviously with less
features.

Thanks again for replying.

Re: [PHP] Two websites need to share part of one database, suggestions please

[André Medeiros]

XML is quite easy. Let's say you're making a search for books, and you
have site1.com searching site2.com for some stuff.

site2.com could have some sort of "back end" like

http://site2.com/_backend/search.php?keywords=a+book

That would search it's database for the keywords "a book".

It could generate XML like:



1
A Children's Book


2
A Book about Everything!



To do this request, PHP has the fopen command, that will allow you to
read from URLs too (see http://pt.php.net/fopen).

After reading the XML code into a string, just parse it. There are
hundreds of classes on phpclasses.org. Just take a pick :)

I hope this was helpful. If you need me to explain something more
thoroughly, let me know.

Good luck :)

According to the manual
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php), you should be
using the same connection.

If I might make some recommendations: unless you're doing something
unique as part of the login process, it might be worthwhile looking at
the LiveAdmin authentication system.  It's available via pear.  It
allows you to set up authentication containers, which can be an XML file
holding your usernames/passwords, or a database like Postgres.  It also
has containers for permissions.  I've tested in a couple of simple apps
and it works fairly well.

If LiveAdmin doesn't fit your needs, then you might look at Propel
(http://propel.phpdb.org/trac/), it's an object persistence layer which
provides a couple of benefits: 1) it abstracts your database so you
don't have hand-coded SQL scattered throughout your PHP code and you
don't have to mess around with the details of connecting to the db; 2)
it provides a pretty sweet build tool that takes an SQL schema
definition (marked up in XML) for a database and generates not only your
SQL to create the tables but also your PHP classes.  Then in your
application you only need to be concerned with using the generated
classes.  

I realize this isn't what you asked about, but I've used Propel in a
couple of small web apps and I've been really happy with it.  It cut the
number of lines of code in my main application by almost half.
Moreover, it helped simplify making changes to the db: if I need to
change a field in a table, add/delete a field, or add a whole new table,
I simply make the change in my schema file, re-generate my PHP classes,
and then use the new classes in my app.  I don't have to search through
a bunch of code to find all the instances of a particular SQL statement.

HTH,
Tim

I see what you're saying. But that won't work in my situation because I don't 
simply want to read data from a specific site. I need to also 
modify/create/delete product records and coming up with something in XML will 
just add an extra level of complexity (that doesn't seem necessary).

Thanks for your input though.

[PHP] Some CLASS file help, should be a quick answer...

[Matt Babineau]

Ok so I set a variable at the top of my class definition

var $tmp;
< bunch of functions>

Function $func1() {

$n = $this->result_from_another_function($var1, $var2, $var3); //
this function returns an ARRAY
//print_r($n);
$this->tmp = $n;
}


When I try to set $this->tmp = $n, it doesn't work!? But if I print_r($n)
the array that gets returned by $this->result_from_another_function($var1,
$var2, $var3) gets printed out and I can't understand this!! There is
plenty of data in $n, but not in $this->tmp!!!

I've read a couple tutorials but none explain this very wellanyone have
any thoughts?

i want to delete lines which start with '[' and 'TYP'. i have multiple such 
files.i have used strstr method. i have written code for it, but it results in

It's likely the browser is uncomressing it before you ever see it.  I
would telnet to port 80 and make an HTTP request to see for sure.

"w" will open the file for WRITING, a fresh, new, EMPTY file.

You want "r+" or "a+" or "w+" or something similar.

All we know so far, from the code that you've posted is:
1. You've done something wrong
2. It's not actually *IN* the code you showed us; it's somewhere else.

Throw more code up in pastebin or something.

What is the EXACT error message?...

An error message isn't "nothing" -- It's an error message.

But of the 3,234,689 possible error messages you are seeing, it's hard to
tell which one you've got.

That's not a valid array construct...

You can't have $array['val1'] be a string ('whatever') and also an array
(['val2'])..

Or is that 5 different examples?

[PHP] Quidelines for Site visitor counter

[William Stokes]

Hello,

I would like to add a visitor counter to my site. I know that there are 
plenty of free and nice applications/scripts for this avalable but I would 
like to write my own. I'm at the moment thinking either to make graphical or 
text based user interface for this statistics counter. So I'm asking your 
advice on how to draw those nice graphs with PHP? Any online manuals or 
books that can help since I've never done anything like this before. The 
server supports drawing graphical stats with PHP.

Here's a link that shows roughly what I'm looking for:

Thanks

Re: [PHP] how to get time cost for MySQL query

[Richard Lynch]

Try doing an "explain $query" query.

I *think* MySQL might cache the query/results enough that you'd get an
accurate estimate...

You could also turn MySQL Logging on.

Or, rather crudely, time it in PHP:

$query_start_time = microtime();
$result = mysql_query($query);
$query_end_time = microtime();

It's not going to be 100% accurate, of course, as the overhead from PHP to
MySQL is there, and if you get a *TON* of data in the query, then there's
maybe a LOT of overhead there...

But maybe you're better off including that anyway.

Re: [PHP] libssl.so.0.9.7

[Richard Lynch]

Check if you've got "leftover" 0.9.7 library sitting around.

Perhaps you put 0.9.8 in /usr/local/lib, but 0.9.7 is still in /usr/lib

If you have "locate" you can just do:
locate libssl.so

and see what turns up

It wouldn't be any easier/harder, really...

Your method/function definition would still have specific data types it
expected to receive.

Your function call would still know what data types it is dealing with,
and would call the right one.

Actually, it's a bit "harder" in weakly-typed languages, as the
interpreter has to do more work at the instant the function is called, to
determine what types are used.  In C++, you're the compiler *KNOWS* what
the types are at compile time.

Re: [PHP] still trying to cURL.

[Richard Lynch]

Try closing your cURL handle and making a new one before you get the page
that's giving you trouble.

Sometimes cURL maintains "state" that it shouldn't.

You'll maybe need to get the Cookies "by hand" from the header and send
them back as headers -- Not sure a Cookie Jar can survive a new handle.

That's guaranteed not the issue -- unless the performance would suck too
badly...

Lisp has loosely-typed data, and had multiple constructors log
before C++ was a gleam in Strousap's (sp?) eye.

The real issue, most likely, is not making PHP so [bleep] complex nobody
normal wants to use it :-)

If you want a fancy graph, use JPGraph (?) -- Google for "PHP Graph" it
will turn up.

If you just want to draw some numbers in an image:
