[PHP] Fixing Invalid Characters in RSS Feeds.. ?
I wrote a custom blog/CMS script that I use to generate RSS feeds. Every so often, in the process of cutting and pasting from other sites I will inadvertently enter a bad character that RSS doesn't like which causes the whole feed to break. (For example, versions of quotation marks or long dashes). My solution now is to check the feed at feedvalidator.org and then edit any offending characters by hand. Does anyone know an easier way to do this? In truth, I'm not sure I know what kind of characters are valid and which are not and why. Is there an easy way to validate and correct any incoming text?

[PHP] Restarting windows from php
Does anyone have any idea how to restart windows from a php script?
I tried the following:
exec('SHUTDOWN -r -t 01');
or
exec('SHUTDOWN /r');
I received the following warning message: Warning: exec(): Unable to
fork [SHUTDOWN -r -t 01].
I never used this kind of functions before. What's wrong? In IIS for
"Execute Permissions" I have "Scripts and Executables". What
permissions should I set for the Internet Guest Account? Or something
else caused the problem, not the permissions? Please help me.:)

Re: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Hi,
I think, Karl says that to how to shutdown the server.
This is posible with rundll, or using Win32API functions.
This is the detailed information about how to use Win32API functions
in PHP:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.w32api.php
So, also this is an information about ExitWindows() API function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/exitwindows.asp

Re: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
First off, windows has no clue what a fork is, much less the command
'shutdown -r -t 01'.
You can get a windows based version here for windows 2000,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317371&sd=tech
If you on windows xp or 2003 servers I'm not sure how this will work
now that MS in there infinate wisdom has implemented the shutdown/
reboot logging stuff where you have to tell it why your rebooting or
shutting it down. (IMHO the dumbest thing ever)
>From personal experiance I would test this on a local machine first
before putting it on a production system, as they don't always act the
way you intend them to.
Second, why are you having to reboot the system? Is an application
stopping or something else like that because it would be easier to
restart the service / application than rebooting the sytem if thats
the case.

While you can call shutdown directly from exec - some things are best
not called like this. PHP will be left hanging waiting for the process
to finish, so you'll get a really nasty shutdown going on without
properly ending your sessions.
You'd be better off looking at COM scripting it to be honest. Or write
a Windows application that does what you require (closes down all
services smoothly, reboots, etc) and exec that, providing your IIS
user has the correct permissions to do so.
The warning most likely comes from IIS, or your php.ini settings - I
just tested "shutdown -i" on Apache (in WinXP) and it ran without any
problems.
Best regards,
Richard Davey

RE: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Could be that he's trying to use PHP to restart the server. Or could be using
php via command line or through a system like GTK or Winbinder. It's worth
noting that you should make sure you're restarting the machine you think you
are, but the question still remains... is this possible and how is it done?
If shutdown can't be forked, is it an issue of PHP spinning off the program and
not and returning control to PHP before the program is finished (so they run
concurrently)... if that's the case, is there a way to make PHP give full
control to the program it calls?
If just using EXEC to call a program is considered 'forking', is there another
method? Could you use PHP to EXEC a script file that ran shutdown instead?
Would this behave better?
Is there a way to do this and/or any tricks to making it work?
I think that's the question being asked.

RE: [PHP] Restarting windows from php
Just out of interest, how is the restart going to authenticate itself to get
up and running?
I used to do something like this between two servers - but the were Macs and
I was using Frontier and it did work, but not without the odd mishap.
If you just want to do it remotely (without recourse to PHP), look at VNC.

Re: [PHP] redirect based off server string
Try doing a pattern match on the server string and then using Header
to redirect them if its coming from the old server:
if (preg_match("/ces.ncsu/i", $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"])) {
header("Location: http://www.nc4h.org";);
}

[PHP] REGEX for query
Howdy boys and girls!
I have a rather interesting issue. I need to locate every query in every
PHP application we have for an integration project. I have started doing
some research, but I wanted throw this out there as a little exercize
because it is interesting.
Several queries are written as
$variableName = "SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE glorp = '12' ";
Others are written as
$variableName = "INSERT INTO bar (foo) ";
$variableName .= "VALUES ('".$foo."') ";
And still others may be written as
$variableName = "SELECT foo ";
$variableName .= "FROM bar ";
$variableName .= "WHERE glorp = '12' ";
while('stinky' == $caca){
$variableName .= "AND poot = '" . $caca['texture'] . "' ";
}
How would you begin to get the queries using PHP? Regex? Other methods?
I am working on isolating where the applications live right now, but I
would be thrilled to read your opinions and methods.
Thanks!

[PHP] Re: Re[2]:[PHP] Restarting windows from php
Richard, thanks for the pointer on the shutdown command, nice to see them implement that in 2k3 and XP, I don't use them on a regular base and sure don't use them in server environment. As for the fork, windows can't preform a fork of a process. There are API's out there that can do this for windows such as perls Win32::Process, or using the MKS Toolkit, i think the developer or interopertablility versions will do this. If you have documents showing that windows can do a fork, I would like to read about it, however the last time I checked this was not possible, maybe they are trying to implement this, if so thats great, it will be a plus for them.

There are a couple of possible causes here. First I would try this

system('shutdown -r -t 1 &');
I don't have a windows machine I can restart at the moment to try this,
but you might have more luck with system than with exec.
Another possible cause is that the user the web server runs as doesn't
have sufficient permissions to initiate a restart. While the error
you're getting doesn't appear to have anything to do with permissions I
would certainly consider it a possibility.

Assuming unix, I'd do the following from the root of the application to get a list of files that contain queries: $ egrep "=[:space:]*\".*\b(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE)\b" * -ril That is assuming that you always assign a query to a variable before executing it, and the select|insert|update is always on the same line as the assignment operator. For example, the above would not catch: $variableName = "SELECT foo "; But if you're reasonably sure you don't do that anywhere then it might be enough. I'm assuming that at some point you're going to want to update those queries, or the code surrounding them. I'd use a good editor that supports regex searches across multiple files. I'd suggest jEdit (www.jedit.org); it's quite powerful and free, but your favorite editor may have similar functionality already. My next step would be to load all of the files that egrep found for me into jEdit, then do a regex search across all buffers for a similar pattern ( =\s*".*\b(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE)\b ). jEdit also has a feature known as HyperSearch which opens a dockable window that lists every occurrence by file and line number, and allows you to jump from occurrence to occurence by clicking on each one. I'd then hit each one and do the appropriate update (that is, assuming the update in question isn't so simple that it can be done with a global search and replace). Anyway, that's how I'd do it. Hope you got something out of this... :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] dynamic object instances
Hello List,
I would like to create an object inside a function with its classname
and a parameter list submitted by the function call.
function create($class, $parameter) {
$obj = new $class($parameter);
return $obj;
}
This is working very well. But I have not every time the same count of
parameters for a class constructor.
If this is a normal method call of an object I can realise it like this:
$ret = call_user_func_array(array(&$obj, 'method'), $parameter_array);
The $parameter_array contains as many entries as the function needs.
Works well too.
But how can I write a function to instance objects with various count of
parameters in the constructor?
I know, can do this with an eval. But I would like to find a solution
where I don't need an eval.
thanks for all answers,
Thomas

[PHP] Re: Fixing Invalid Characters in RSS Feeds.. ?
Hello, on 08/10/2005 10:05 AM Greg Schnippel said the following: I wrote a custom blog/CMS script that I use to generate RSS feeds. Every so often, in the process of cutting and pasting from other sites I will inadvertently enter a bad character that RSS doesn't like which causes the whole feed to break. (For example, versions of quotation marks or long dashes). My solution now is to check the feed at feedvalidator.org and then edit any offending characters by hand. Does anyone know an easier way to do this? In truth, I'm not sure I know what kind of characters are valid and which are not and why. Is there an easy way to validate and correct any incoming text? There is no such thing as invalid RSS characters. All characters are valid as long as they are properly encoded to include in XML documents. If you are not sure how to do it, you may want to take a look at this RSS writer and XML writer classes that do it properly: http://www.phpclasses.org/rsswriter http://www.phpclasses.org/xmlwriter -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Use the func_* functions, along with array_shift(). In addition, you'll
need to use either a standard-named static instantiator, or the class
name as the constructor method:
function create($class) {
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args); // remove $class from the args list
// Do this if using a standard-named static instantiator method
// across classes; in this case 'init':
return call_user_func_array(array($class, 'init'), $args);
// Or use a function named after the class name as the instantiator
// method (ala PHP4):
return call_user_func_array(array($class, $class), $args);
}

[PHP] Gathering CPU info from Linux and FreeBSD and placing it into a MySQL db
Hey all, First time poster to this mailing list, but I've been lurking for a week now, and it seems like there are a lot of helpful people on this list. I hope to help others out with problems I can answer for them in the future. Now, I have an important task at hand. My company has assigned me to write a script that will log into both our BSD and Linux boxes (we have about 400 boxes), gather up all the information about each system (Operating System, External IP Address, LAN Controller, Video Card, USB devices, Serial Port, Amount of Memory, # of Hard Drives, HD Brand, and HD Type (ide ata scsi raid)). We've gone over a few ideas, although we're not set in stone which route we want to take, or if there is an easier solution to this task at hand. Heck, even if there is something that has already been coded and can act as a foundation for this project would be grand. Okay, so here's what we've come up with so far: 1) Using parts of PHPSysInfo - Hack apart this script I found called phpsysinfo. I've already hacked it apart and it only displays what we're looking for. You can see what I'm talking about if you visit http://morano.hopto.org/phpsysinfo/index.php - Use the XML portion of the script to export all gathered data into an XML file. - Take the XML file and import it into the MySQL db 2) Finding a script that already does all this already (Ideal Solution) - I'm open to ideas on this one. After snooping around Linux and BSD, I've gathered that using a combination of sysctl, uname, and dmesg would get me the results I need, but this seems like the hard way, unless someone has already implemented a solution using these tools and PHP. Finding a script that already does everything I want IS the ideal solution, the trouble is finding it. I know it can be done, but I've been bashing my head against the wall for the past day and a half now. My head hurts and has a couple knots due to the wall being so thick, so now I turn to you folks in search for some guidance. If there is anything else I can answer to help clarify my task at hand, please let me know. I'm stepping out for lunch, but I'm pretty much stuck at work until a solution has been found, so I'll be checking the mailing list frequently (about every 5 mins!). The URL I provided to contains everything that is needed to be gathered. Also, if there are other resources such as forums, web site tutorials, script archives, etc. that I might be able to find answers from, I'd love to check them out. Thanks in advance.

Re: [PHP] html_entity_decode () for …, ’, etc.
Hi Marco
To awnser you question I do not know why it is excluded from the default
decode array. Maybe it could be that these are multibyte characters (any
takers)?
You can get a list of the entities that are changed
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
echo"";print_r($trans);echo"";
to add some extras as you have below, use something similar to
function htmldecode($string)
{
$trans = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
$trans[chr(0xe2).chr(0x80).chr(0xa6)] = '…';
$trans = array_flip($trans);
return strtr($string, $trans);
}
$string = "…&";
echo htmldecode($string) ."\n";
Note: obviously hex e2 80 a6 make up the hellip chars.
Hope this helps
Cheers

The Content-disposition header is a made-up bull-crap thing that came
about with "html enhanced" (cough, cough) email.
If you want *EVERY* browser to download something, forget this header and
use:
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
The Content-disposition will, on *SOME* browsers, on *SOME* OSes appear to
be useful for getting the filename in the dialog prompt for "Save As..."
to be the filename you want.
Unfortunately, it does *NOT* work universally.
If you want a UNIVERSAL solution, make the URL look like it's a "static"
URL and have the filename you want to be used appear at the end of the
URL.
Converting dynamic to static-looking URLs is covered in many places.
Google for PHP $_SERVER PATHINFO
Under no circumstances should you be using headers like "audio/mpeg" if
you want me to download it -- I guarantee my browser will open that up in
an MP3 player. Many other users will also have been led through the
process to make that happen.
But if the browser doesn't download "application/octet-stream" it's a very
very very broken browser.

RE: [PHP] Gathering CPU info from Linux and FreeBSD and placing it into aMySQL db
Can I ask why you are trying to write a script that from what I understand goes to each box to retrieve the data instead of pushing the data to the central db? You could write a little script in PHP that gathers the required information and then does an insert into your database. Then from the database you can create a webpage that is a view of all of your machines. On the local machine you can schedule your script to run every X minutes via crontab. If I misread your email and headed down the wrong path please let me know.

Try something much more simple than "SHUTDOWN"
Can you do "DIR"?
exec("DIR", $output, $error);
echo "OS Error: $error\n";
echo implode("\n", $output);
I believe "Unable to fork" translates into:
"I can't even start an MS-DOS prompt up, much less run your command!"

First, you have to figure out for sure for sure what user/account PHP runs
as.
should clarify that.
Next, log in as that user and see if you can shutdown the machine.
If that *USER* can't do it, with a human typing, it's for sure PHP won't
be any better at it.
Next, figure out where the shutdown command actually lives, and provide a
FULL PATH to it:
C:\Windows\System32\blah\blah\blah\blah\shutdown.exe
You never know for sure if PHP's user is getting a full logged-in shell
with all the $PATH ($path?) stuff, or some kind of half-assed crippled
shell. Use a full pathname for everything, and you can ignore this issue.
Use the extra arguments to exec() as I did in the "DIR" example so you can
get the output from the Operating System about what happened.
Shutting down from PHP is not really any different from shutting down from
any other program or an MS-DOS prompt -- shutdown will terminate PHP
cleanly, just as it terminates every other program cleanly.
WARNING:
Seriously consider what happens if...
You get this to work, and some Bad Guy who hates you gains access to your
web page somehow.
They can write PHP script on THEIR server to hit that page, oh, every 5
minutes, and your box will never be up long enough for you to do anything
remote with it at all.
Or a disgrunted employee could put a Scheduled Task on the box to do it
internally.
Or...
You REALLY need to be certain about the security/usability implications of
this before you finalize it.
Lock down access to that page as much as you can.
SSL, password protected, maybe even have the script record a time-stamp
when it's run, and refuse to run itself more often than 3 times in one
24-hour period.

RE: [PHP] Gathering CPU info from Linux and FreeBSD and placing it into aMySQL db
Hi Nate, We are a hosting company. We use this Mambo-like CMS called CATS, which pretty much tells us what company owns what server(s) in our data centers. CATS will provide us with a list of details on the specs for each machine they own, which include the specs I listed (memory, # of cpus, etc.) Someone in our company deleted the table within the MySQL db that listed our 400+ machines. Since IT is slammed with other tasks, they have assigned me to this job. This is a step by step as to what I've decided needs to happen, in order for this task to operate (somewhat) smoothly. 1) Read IP addresses from a tab-delimited file, which will follow the format: abc.com 64.64.64.1 domain.com 255.213.6.4 blah.co.uk 29.42.200.9 etc.net 13.14.15.255 2) Assign the $domain variable to the domain name in each line, then assign $ipaddress to the actual ip address 3) Take $ipaddress and ssh into each box (we have a private/public ssh key set up) 4) (This is the undecided step) Run script to gather the necessary server information and export info into either a)CSV or b)XML 5) Take exported file and upload it/email it to my box/my email address 6) Take exported file and create a script to import the information into the CATS MySQL db (not handled by me, but I can easily take over responsibility on creating this script and implement it into my code) 7) Lather, rinse, repeat :) Hope this helps to clear up some information.

The Content-disposition header is a made-up bull-crap thing that came

If you want *EVERY* browser to download something, forget this header and
use:
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
The Content-disposition will, on *SOME* browsers, on *SOME* OSes appear to
be useful for getting the filename in the dialog prompt for "Save As..."
to be the filename you want.
Unfortunately, it does *NOT* work universally.
If you want a UNIVERSAL solution, make the URL look like it's a "static"
URL and have the filename you want to be used appear at the end of the
URL.
Converting dynamic to static-looking URLs is covered in many places.
Google for PHP $_SERVER PATHINFO
Under no circumstances should you be using headers like "audio/mpeg" if
you want me to download it -- I guarantee my browser will open that up in
an MP3 player. Many other users will also have been led through the
process to make that happen.
But if the browser doesn't download "application/octet-stream" it's a very
very very broken browser.
if i don't use Content-disposition IE downloads the file as "unknown"
(mp3, exe, or otherwise) with no extension and the names the file you
are downloading becomes the name of the script that was called. lol?

So here's what you do. Go ahead and RENAME your PHP script to "next_hit_song.mp3" Then use .htaccess to tell Apache that it's *REALLY* a PHP script even though it ends in .mp3 application/x-httpd-php That is what I mean by making the URL look "static" IE is so [bleeping] stupid about URLs and content-type and rich media, that you simply cannot give it any room for a mistake. Consider the MP3s and m3u s on the pages here: http://uncommonground.com/ http://uncommonground.com/artist_profile/Ellen+Rosner Every one of the MP3/m3u files you can find there is really a PHP script. They just happen to end in .mp3 and .m3u so IE can't [bleep] up. The dynamic MP3 downloads (and streams) have the MP3 ID3 tags inserted at download time, so the artists can correct typos or give me info like song title and whatnot lonnng after the actual mp3 is created, identified, and cataloged. The m3u playlists are coming out the database from queries with all kinds of "interesting" properties. New playlist every day on the homepage. Different playlist every download on the calendar pages: http://uncommonground.com/events.htm While you are there, check out that PDF. Yup. That ain't really a PDF, it's a PHP script.

[PHP] Redisplaying information from a HTML form
Hi there I'm absolutely new at this so forgive me if none of it makes any sense! I'm trying to write a page which lets you apply for tickets. I've written it in PHP and used simple variable names for all the input fields. Upon clicking submit, I want the form to be checked for incorrect formats and blank fields. I've managed to write the checking program in such a way that clicking submit launches an 'error' page which displays at the top of the page which field is wrong, and then redisplays the form. (The form redisplay is done using a function which uses the variables I used in the HTML form page). My problem is this: when the 'error' page comes up all of the text boxes will quite happily redisplay the data that was put into them, but I have a couple of drop-down boxes and radio buttons which lose their value. Is there a way I can make these boxes and buttons retain their value? Thanks Ravi Gogna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hello List,
I would like to create an object inside a function with its classname
and a parameter list submitted by the function call.
function create($class, $parameter) {
$obj = new $class($parameter);
return $obj;
}
This is working very well. But I have not every time the same count of
parameters for a class constructor.
If this is a normal method call of an object I can realise it like this:
$ret = call_user_func_array(array(&$obj, 'method'), $parameter_array);
The $parameter_array contains as many entries as the function needs.
Works well too.
But how can I write a function to instance objects with various count of
parameters in the constructor?
I know, can do this with an eval. But I would like to find a solution
where I don't need an eval.
to keep it easy have your ctors be able to except an assoc array as the first
argument as an alternative to its normal arg list - or just use an assoc array
period - that combined with a call to expand() in the ctor.
then... something like:
function create($class, $params)
{
if (!class_exists($class)) {
return null;
}
return new $class( $params );
}
btw if your on php4 your probably what to be using lots of f'ing '&' signs.
alternatively it's either:
1. use eval() - yuck
2. make all your objects have empty ctors and force them to have an _init()
method that actually does the work e.g.
function create($class)
{
if (!class_exists($class)) {
return null;
}
$params = func_get_args();
$params = array_slice($params, 1);
$o = new $class();
call_user_func_array(array($o, '_init'), $params);
return $o;
}
3. re-evaluate what you are trying to achieve with the create function.
maybe you need a factory base class instead? (for instance)

This will not work, since it is like calling a static class method, and
$this is not allowed to be used in static methods.
I solved this with eval() function.

I believe that this is the kind of clever, evil stuff the OP was trying to
avoid...
(evil - eval :-) - besides eval is very slow - not something you (well me then)
want to
use in a function dedicated to object creation which is comparatively slow
anyway
(try comparing the speed of cloning and creating objects in php5 for instance
regardless - nice one for posting this Eli - I recommend anyone who doesn't
understand
what he wrote to go and figure it out, good learning material :-)

Re: [PHP] Redisplaying information from a HTML form
Ravi Gogna wrote: Hi there I'm absolutely new at this so forgive me if none of it makes any sense! I'm trying to write a page which lets you apply for tickets. I've written it in PHP and used simple variable names for all the input fields. Upon clicking submit, I want the form to be checked for incorrect formats and blank fields. I've managed to write the checking program in such a way that clicking submit launches an 'error' page which displays at the top of the page which field is wrong, and then redisplays the form. (The form redisplay is done using a function which uses the variables I used in the HTML form page). My problem is this: when the 'error' page comes up all of the text boxes will quite happily redisplay the data that was put into them, but I have a couple of drop-down boxes and radio buttons which lose their value. Is there a way I can make these boxes and buttons retain their value? short answer: yes. longer answer: either generate some javascript to set the correct option or when/if you use php to 'build' the selectboxes add the string ' selected="selected"' to the HTML of the option that should be selected, for checkboxes you would add the string ' checked="checked"' to the relevant radiobuttons (or checkboxes).

But using the _init() function as you suggested is actually tricking in a way you move the constructor params to another function, but the initialization params should be sent to the constructor! I guess that it would be better if PHP will add a possibility to construct a dynamic class with variant number of params... ;-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] How efficient is OOP in PHP5?
Hi all, I have heard that "function style is 400% faster than OOP in PHP", and give a little agreement. So in the past year, I write more PHP code in function way while less in OOP way. This morning, I read an article called "How efficient is OOP in PHP" according to the author's test, writing PHP code in procedural way(functions) is 200%+ faster than OOP way. But this article is written in 2003, now, I am using PHP5, how about the performance of OOP in PHP5? Could any one give me more efficient references? Any suggestion or help will be greatly appreciated. Qin Jianxiang -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Sockets and SOAP
Hi, I want to implement a client-server relationship between a PHP server application and another .NET client application. I want the connection to be kept alive, so I use the socket routine running till disconnecting. I also want to transfer the data between the server and client using SOAP envelopes. How can I send SOAP envelopes (requests & responses) through the same socket? If it's not possible with PHP's SOAP library, is it possible with other SOAP library for PHP (such PEAR:SOAP)? -thanks, Eli -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If it's MySQL, then just do an SQL query with a WHERE clause like this: WHERE updated > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 YEAR) Jasper -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: date field
In PHP, you could do something like:
$updated = strtotime($db_result['updated']);
$one_year_ago = strtotime('-1 year');
if ($updated < $one_year_ago) {
// updated date is older than a year ago
}
