[PHP] PHP 4.4.1 on Apache 2.0.x issue
Hi list, after upgrading to PHP 4.4.1, I'm having the following problem: Apache is running in prefork mode. index.php includes func.php, which defines some functions and connects to MySQL. For a while (1-2 requests) everything runs ok, except mysql sockets keep stacking up. And then - wham, suddenly, I'm getting errors: Cannot redeclare mquery() (previously declared in /home/test/func.php:9) in /home/test/func.php on line 9 If I wait a few seconds, it "works" for a couple of requests again. And then the error is back. What on EARTH is happening? My wild guess is, somehow the memory gets shared, and the previous script is still loaded into a thread when the new one is called, but how can this be happening? I would greatly appreciate any advice... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

My advise is not to use $_FILES['img']['type'] or use it with some switch

Different browsers send different mime types for same image format. For
example on mozila you have image/png on IE you have image/x-png (or vise
versa)
Also the are different mimes for JPEG
image/jpg
image/jpeg
..
image/gif
image/x-gif
You better see what is the type of the image when the error occurs.

Re: [PHP] Convert fake Unicode to real UTF-8
Thanks for the tip! htmlentities() didn't work, as it just converted the
"&" in the string to "&". However, following the trail I did get it
working the other way round, using:
html_entity_decode($row['text'], ENT_NOQUOTES, "UTF-8")
After this call, I had a real unicode text in my output file.
About the question where I saw it - both in phpMyAdmin and in my own PHP
script. It seems to be really stored as an ASCII text in the DB, as a
substr($row['text'], 0, 1) also simply outputs "&".
Thanks for your help,
Andreas

RE: [PHP] PHP from the command line
jasper, what i meant to say is show us the code, as well as the output of the err msgs generated by the connection code. in some cases, the app runs as a different user when the code is run as the apache user or the 'command line' user. if you're going to try to figure out the issue/problem, you need to look at what might be the problem, and prioritize. from my experience: -might be running as a different user -might be some weird setup having to do with the host/port addresses -might be weird php.ini config settings.. -etc.. so rather than guess, let's get the guy's data/information and go from there. but all things remaning equal, i'm inclined to agree that the same code 'should' work. so, give us the data/output, and we'll see what it looks like. i'm also willing to bet that the issue will be something fairly simple/trivial to fix. -bruce -Original Message- From: Jasper Bryant-Greene [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 11:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'Robbert van Andel'; 'David Tulloh'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP from the command line On Thu, 2005-11-03 at 20:58 -0800, bruce wrote: > ok.. > > show us the connection code you're using to access the db.. I think you're on the wrong track. The connection code is known good because it works in CLI mode. What I would like to see is any notable differences between the output of phpinfo() in CLI mode and through your webserver.

Don't worry about being quoted on that -- it most definitely will. Using
decimal values in HTML entities is very common, especially for writing
non-ASCII and non-usual-HTML-entities characters (such as CJK Kanji,
mathematical operators or cyrillic glyphs) without worrying about the
transfer charset. Personally though, I usually convert into proper UTF-8
instead of using entities. It takes a *lot* less space, providing that
the web server is properly configured not to say that the document is
ISO-8859-1 or something.
Personally, I use a seven-liner perl script to convert the official HTML
entitity DTDs into a PHP include file:
print(") {
if(/ $2,\n";
}
}
print("\t);\n?>\n");

If the number of semi-colons is fixed, then explode will do the trick.
$foo = 'Silver Small Corp;X^%\n#\n'; $bar = explode(';',
$foo); echo $bar[0];
However if the number of semi-colons is not fixed, then substr in
conjunction with strpos will do the trick.
$foo = 'Silver Small Corp;X^%\n#\n'; $bar = substr($foo, 0,
strpos($foo, ';')); echo $bar;

The name like "Roch Small Sum" and others dont change, they will be in
there whether there is a value associated with them or not.

explode on this first: '^% -'

[PHP] protect password?
Hello, Some functions need you to provide username and password, for instance odbc_connect. Even though the username/password just has minimum access privileges to the resource, putting it there in clear text in a script gives me heartburn. How do people handle username/password in such kind of cases? I'm sure there must be some way to store critical information in some encrypted format but it's still readable to scripts for authentication purpose. But don't know how.

[PHP] Re: protect password?
I'm not sure if there's a way around this, though there's a few simple precautions you can take. You can put a function that returns the resource in an include file outside of the public html folders, which helps a little bit. It's also always good to give the least permission possible and to only allow connections from localhost. Now I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but someone will probably come along shortly and offer something more in line.

On shared hosts since files to be included need to be readable by the user the server runs as their permissions must be set to: -rw-r--r-- And since every one else who has a site on the same server must also have files to be included set to be readable by the server user, one could easily write a trolling script to traverse the directories of other users on the site and grab whatever info they needed.

They've since made changes to eliminate this problem. All that needs to be done is secure up the directory permissions and the problem goes away. By setting the file readable only by root this problem is completely eliminated. Unless a hacker has the root password, they will not be able to compromise the information in this file.

If you really want a regex.. something like:
preg_match_all('/\s*([^;]+);{5}([^^]*)^/U', $str, $matches);
var_dump($matches);
And you'll have an array of field => values (excuding the Coords field).
I do wonder why this is stored in the db like this.

To fix this, wrap the whole construct in curly braces:

Re: [PHP] Register Globals
I'm guessing it's because of the double quotes within double quotes in the "From" part: mail($to, stripslashes($_POST["subject"]), wordwrap($_POST["message"], 60), "From: $_POST["from"]\r\n"); Your $_POST["subject"] is ok because that's all that's in that part of the parameter, but the part: "From: $_POST["from"]\r\n" ..is going to cause problems because the "from" double quotes interfere with the outside double quotes. Try changing it to: "From: $_POST['from']\r\n" ..with single quotes on the 'from' or put the $_POST variable outside the quotes: "From: " . $_POST["from"] .

No more errors.

[PHP] Unsubscribing from several PHP lists
Hi All, Does anyone know of a way to unsubscribe an email address from the PHP email lists when you can't send a reply to the confirmation email? My host for my currently subscribed email address has an issue with its SSL certificate which means that I can't send replies from that account (which has gone on for months and I've given up on waiting for it to be resolved). For this reason, I'm swapping my subscriptions over to another email account through a different host, but of course the reason why I'm subscribing from another account is also the reason why I can't reply to confirm the unsubscription from the 'broken' account. Any help appreciated. Much warmth, Murray -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] No forums?
AFAIK, there are no "official" forums for PHP. Considering the fact that PHP is a web development tool, such distaste for message boards is ironic at the least. So why exactly there aren't any forums on php.net? One of the fallacies in your argument is that the lack of an official forum on php.net implies "such distaste for message boards". I don't have a big screen TV but I have anything but distaste for them! Also, you should realize that your question could be rephrased as "Why hasn't someone else done all this extra work (creating and managing a forum) because I would prefer it?" The obvious answer, which someone else has already suggested, is that maybe others (or those in charge of php.net) don't feel the need. In any case, if you are sincerely interested in either a support Web forum or a legitimate answer to your question, you may have better luck if your inquiry were more "I would appreciate it if..." or "has an official forum been considered?" and less "this system that you've been using for years sucks and this is why I'm right". All that being said, I think everyone should send me $5. I've monitored this list long enough to predict the most probable replies...

The question isn't about forums sucking, i tend to belong to several mailing lists and have them all go in my proper folders or (gmail) labels. > > R: Synchronizing mail lists and forums is very difficult and nobody will > do it. > MR: There is no need to synchronize anything. I wouldn't say that it is difficult, it is a matter of anyone doing it. I'm half way at the point to enable posting via the web (see sig), but i don't think i will even go that route. At this point it sounds like you just want to get rid of the current ways of discussing topics and just use a web forum. It just comes down to it that the mailing list system isn't going to go away anytime soon nor is the news server. so someone will just have to take the time and write some sort of web forum like application. Besides, because php is a web development tool it doesn't mean that everything that php.net does has to be written in php. I hope you don't suggest to have a web only cvs interface to commit code.

Then you suggest fragmenting the list into 3 factions, those who would continue to use the list, those who would use the forum, and those who would use both. By such a fragmentation of the list, solutions and advice would be spread across multiple locations thus diluting the efficacy of the list.

Knowing this, would you assume that I don't like watching it? The same thing with forum. It's a usual feature, just like website is. Would you be surprised if PHP had no website? Would you ask why it doesn't? > Also, you should realize that your question could be rephrased as "Why > hasn't someone else done all this extra work (creating and managing a > forum) because I would prefer it?" Are you saying that I'm the only PHP user that might like discussing things on a forum? Again, forums are very common. Some people like them, other people like mailing lists. In case of PHP, I find the lack of forum weird, because it's a web development language. Besides, you're implying that maintaining forum is "extra work", while maintaining mailing lists isn't. Extra work for extra users you can live without, eh? > In any case, if you are sincerely interested in either a support Web > forum or a legitimate answer to your question, you may have better luck > if your inquiry were more "I would appreciate it if..." or "has an > official forum been considered?" and less "this system that you've been > using for years sucks and this is why I'm right". I do not see anything horrible in my message. It's not like I'm _demanding_ something, or suggesting to tear down mailing lists. Neither did I suggest that mailing lists suck. In case of php.internals they totally make sense. But I _do_ think that forum efficient in case of high-volume messaging. -- Best regards, Roman S.I. http://sf.net/projects/naturalgine/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Efficiency is about output versus input. Efficacy is about the ability to produce an effect regardless of input. While there is obviously a degree of overlap in their meaning, and while they can be considered synonyms due to that overlap, they are not the same. Just as gargantuan and large are synonyms, they are hardly the same thing in context. As any English teacher will tell you, rampantly replacing words in an essay with synonyms will quickly devolve the meaning into drivel. So now that I've cleared that up, the point I was making in a lot less words, is that by splitting the list into multiple places, one could expect less solutions to be in either place, and while the sum of the parts will probably be equal to the whole, the information would be dispersed and diluted thus reducing the effectiveness (not efficiency though I'm sure that would be reduced also) of both locations.
