[PHP] Re: Can't execute external program

[n.g.]

sorry , i have made mistake.

`option +exec' is not required, and there is no such apache option.

maybe you're running php in safe_mode ?

[PHP] Re: Can't execute external program

[n.g.]

or `sample1.new' was created in some other directory, for exampe, the
cwd of apache server process.
do a search to find it , or use full path in your commandh line.

I find it funny that you say 'fix them' - one of the things [some of] the core
developers are looking to get rid of is this shorthand syntax
(according to posts on internals@lists.php.net) ... something
to do with XML compatibility ... for now its valid php syntax though :-).

[PHP] Passing objects between pages

[Matt Monaco]

What is the best way to pass an object between pages?  Currently I am
first
serializing, then doing a base64_encode, this doesn't seem entirely
efficient.  (Especially the encode).

I am however using the encode because I have the serialized object as the
value of a hidden form element.  I can only have alphanumerics here.

[PHP] Any performance experiences to offer?

[Tim Meader]

Are there any benchmarks that people are aware of comparing
PHP4|PHP5|PHP5.1 as far as performance is concerned? I mean, it's easy
to say that performance is improved... but what's the baseline?

Was PHP5 faster than PHP4 for identical code? Thus making PHP5.1 even
faster? Or was it a case of PHP5 being a bit more bulky than PHP4, thus
PHP5.1 bringing it more inline with the old performance. I'm looking to
upgrade of PHP 4.4.1 installs, but I'm holding off on PHP5.1 until
eaccelerator (open source PHP accelerator) becomes compatible. As it is,
PHP5.0.5 is the last supported version. But if 5.0.5 is slower than
4.4.1, I'll hold off.

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] array woes

[blackwater dev]

Hello all,

I have some array code driving me nuts.

I am pulling from a db:

select id, vehicle, has_quotes from cars where active=1

I then loop through these and build an array that contains the id's and cars.

while($res){

$cars[$res[id]]=$res[vehicle];
//here is the problem, when has_quotes is 1, I call another function
to grab the quotes
   if ($res[has_quotes]>1){
$cars[$res[id]]=grabQuotes($res[id]);
   }

}

The grabQuotes function returns an array and works fine.  THe problem
is when I go to display these, I cycle through the car array printing
id and vehicle name.  I do a check so if vehicle name is an array, I
print out the quotes from the inner array, problem is I have lost the
vehicle name!  How can I fix this?

[PHP] swaping numerical index for keys

[Pooly]

Hi,

I've an array :
$ls_statfields=array(
"rfile" =>0,
"file" =>1,
"dev" =>2,
"ino" =>3,
"mode" =>4,
"nlink" =>5,
"uid" =>6,
"gid" =>7,
"rdev" =>8,
"size" =>9,
"atime" =>10,
"mtime" =>11,
"ctime" =>12,
"blksize" =>13,
"blocks" =>14
);

Which is the correspondance between the numerical and keys for stat
before PHP 4.0.6 :
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.stat.php

What would be the fastest solution to transform the result from stat
to the one with the keys (before 4.0.6 :-) ? (i.e. Exchanging
numerical indexing the for hash keys in the ls_statfields ?)

[PHP] Re: array woes

[Matt Monaco]

Within grabQuotes(); if you do a var_dump($arg); (where $arg is $res[id]) is 
your vehicle name displayed?  If it is, and you're using it correctly, make 
sure you're returning the value you'd like correctly.  It might help to post 
your grabQuotes function as well as the code that displays $cars[].

function addAssoc($ary_stat)

while ($assoc = each($ls_statfields)) {
$ary_stat[$assoc['key']] = $ary_stat[$assoc['value']];

return $ary_stat;

This should do what you want.  I'm not sure if you want to remove the
numeric keys entirely, but after this function they still exist.

If it was a PHP bug I think a few more people may notice it ;)

Try dumping out the values of the arrays, see what they say:

print_r($_GET);
print_r($_POST);

etc

Re: [PHP] Passing objects between pages

Well the functions won't need to be copied, but can't you put
the properties into a MySQL or other database? Then on a page that you need
the properties you pull them from the table?

Re: [PHP] $_GET and $_POST arrays not working

[Stephen Johnson]

You would access them by declaring them as regular variables and then using
the regular variables in your code.

 


As a side note - please do NOT turn global variables on in your php.ini
file.  There is a good reason for why it is shut off and "good" php does not
need to have it turned on.

Hope that helps .

PHP5 code is faster generally, and OOP is also accelerated a lot

Wow somehow I fixed the error, I don't really know how... oh well

Re: [PHP] Re: $_GET and $_POST arrays not working

[Matt Monaco]

Somewhat, but its what you need to do for the post and get arrays to work. 
What you need to do is make sure check the values in the global variables 
before you use them.  For example if on one page you have a form for a user 
signup and  on the next page 
$_POST['userName'] should be checked for things like quotes and other 
characters that will alter your SQL statement before you actually INSERT 
that value into your table.

Re: [PHP] Passing objects between pages

[Matt Monaco]

I know the functions don't need to be copied.  I would like to easily 
transport the objects (not the class) between pages using a form.  I'm 
pretty sure the serialize() function can't be avoided (otherwise all that 
will be passed is a string with a value like "Object ID: #55") but how can I 
get around the base64_encode() so the serialized object can be the value of 
a checkbox?

$obj = new MyClass();
$obj = serialize($obj);
$obj = base64_encode($obj); //I would like to eliminate this line



So on the next page I have to decode and deserialize

$obj = $_POST['fieldName'];
$obj = base64_decode($obj);
$obj = unserialize($obj);

echo $obj->member;
$obj->function();




"Unknown Unknown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Well the functions won't need to be copied, but can't you put
the properties into a MySQL or other database? Then on a page that you need
the properties you pull them from the table?

There is an article about HTTP on Wikipedia.org and from there you find
a link to RFC2616.

In that case you might want to look at tcp/ip and http over ssl too.

No.  Things like $_POST and $_GET are global arrays and work regardless 
of the register_globals setting.  The information you're handing out 
above is wrong and dangerous.



What you need to do is make sure check the values in the global variables 
before you use them.  For example if on one page you have a form for a user 
signup and  on the next page 
$_POST['userName'] should be checked for things like quotes and other 
characters that will alter your SQL statement before you actually INSERT 
that value into your table.


ie they should be sanitized.  Things like mysql_real_escape_string() or 
adding slashes (depending on your magic_quotes setting) should be done 
prior to inserting any data.  Also, you should check to ensure that it's 
the data you expect; if you only allow usernames to contain 
alpha-numeric characters, then you should check for that.  Toss is out 
if it contains something else.


Best rule of thumb:  Never trust user input, regardless of the 
register_globals setting.

I apologize, but I've never been able to access $_POST and $_GET in any

If you have a form like this one one page...






And this on page2.php...



And the output on page2.php is not 'bar' when you submit the form, 
something is very wrong with your install.

I'm not sure how you are getting 'string(1) ""'  with php5.0.x you
should have either:

  string(1) "1"
  string(0) ""

The upgrade from .4 to .5 depends on how you installed it
originally, if you installed it from source then you can
re-configure .5 with the same options as you did with .4, you can
get your configure command with something like:

  php -i | grep 'Configure Command'

Re: [PHP] Re: $_GET and $_POST arrays not working

[Matt Monaco]

Well, I turned them off and it worked as it apparently should.  It was just 
a setting I read I had to make for globals to work the first time I install 
PHP.  I've made that change ever since.
I've always wondered why these variables - which I consider really 
important, need to be turned on.

That depends...
For typical PHP4 applications (little to no class stuff) I've heard of
benchmarks showing PHP5 to be slower than PHP4. These issues should be
fixed with the 5.1 release. If you intend to make use of OOP features
then PHP5 is not only faster but a lot of them simply aren't available
with PHP4.
