FPDI extends the FPDF class to allow you to import an existing PDF and then 
put data on top of it.  I use it a lot at work.

[PHP] FTP Copy

[Matt Palermo]

I've been looking on php.net, but can't find anything that covers this... 
Basically, I am using PHP FTP to connect to an FTP server and run some 
functions.  I want to copy a directory on the FTP server to another 
directory on the FTP server.  Since there isn't an ftp_copy() function, I 
have to use ftp_get() to bring the file to the local webserver temp folder, 
then use ftp_put() to place it into a different folder on the FTP server. 
This is quite a big pain, since the webserver is not on the same network as 
the remote FTP server, so it must download the file and then upload it to a 
different place (takes a long time).  Is there an FTP that will just copy 
the file/folder from the FTP server without the need to download/upload it 
somewhere else?

Thanks,

Matt

[PHP] Long Shot Question

[Ray Hauge]

Hello everyone,

This is a tad off-topic, but I'm at my wits end.  I'm working on a loan 
calculator for our load advisors to give an estimated monthly payment.  We 
had one, but it was really bad (gave horribly wrong information) and I've had 
to re-write it.  The particular question about this loan calculator is on a 
graduated repayment type.  This is where the loan pretty much starts off 
paying only interest and then increases the payments by a certain percentage 
(graduation factor) every time the rate increase is supposed to happen 
(graduation term)... which is usually two years.

I've looked all over google, wikipedia, and I've even called our servicers 
(who you'd think would help you out, but instead they just tell you they 
can't give me those calculations).  I have found a few other calculators 
online that do this sort of thing, but I can't exactly see the source code 
that way ;)

This seems like a somewhat standard calculation for loans and interest bearing 
accounts. Does anyone know how to calculate the graduation factor?  I've been 
able to figure out it's based off the loan term, loan balance, and initial 
interest rate.

Example:
$30,000 balance
6% initial interest rate
20 year loan term

with those variables you would get a graduation factor of 6.95%

So, the first payment would be $166.53, and then after the graduation term (2 
years) the payment would increase to $178.10, then two years later increase 
again, and so on.  That differnce in payment is pretty close to the 
graduation factor.  It's probably off due to the rounding.

Thanks for placating me when grasping for straws ;)

Ah, I've already used that to construct my amortization table for the standard 
repayment type, but this repayment type was a bit different in that the 
payment changes, and I had to find out the rate of that change.  I think what 
I was looking for was:

Actually, I"m not so sure that's what I was looking for.  These loans are 
student loans, which differ slightly from mortgage loans.  Usually the market 
determines the adjustment in an ARM loan, but these have to increase payment 
steadily so that the loan is still paid off by the end of the year.

At least I think I'm on the right track now.

Re: [PHP] chown(), chgrp()

[Rahul S. Johari]

Here's the interesting things. I did exactly that to begin with... And I
never got the "file can't be chmoded!" ... Instead, I actually got the "Mode
changed to" notification that I had set in the "else {" case.
However... The mode of the file never changed! Even though !chmod didn't say
that mode cannot be changed It wasn't really changing the mode. Which is
why I thought it doesn't work this way.

fileperms() perhaps?

http://php.he.net/manual/en/function.fileperms.php

You'd have to compare the return value against the uid/gid the 
webserver runs as, which can be obtained via getmyuid()/getmygid():


http://php.he.net/manual/en/function.getmyuid.php

Alternatively, you could check if the file exists, then attempt to 
chown/chgrp it. If the chown()/chgrp() returns false, you probably 
don't have permission.

[PHP] Resource problem affecting Curl functions

[Mark Krenz]

  I run a shared webserver with a few hundred vhost containers in
Apache's config.  Recently I got to a point where I added enough vhosts
to cause a problem with curl functions in PHP.  Basically, when PHP
tries to make the curl call to get the webpage, it just hangs the HTTP
request to my webserver.  If I remove a few vhost containers, the
problem stops, if I add them back, the problem starts again.

  I've tried turning up several ulimit values in the apache init script,
but none of those fixed the problem.  I know that its not a problem with
the number of file handles that apache can open because I also had to do

ulimit -n 32768

in the apache init script recently in order to allow more logfiles to be
opened.

  Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing the curl problem?


This is running on:

Apache 2.0.51
PHP 4.3.10
Linux 2.6.13


/proc/sys/fs/file-max is set to 524288

lsof | wc -l  returns 33497 


Thanks,

Mark

ps. I am well aware that I need to upgrade my software so there is no
need to tell me to do that. I'm working on it.

[PHP] Magic method __set won't be called for protected variables

[Satyam]

I have a series of properties set as protected in my class which I meant to 
have them accessed externally through __set and __get.  Unfortunately, it 
seems that since the properties do exist, the magic methods don't get 
called, but then I get an error "Cannot access protected property x", 
which I didn't meant to access directly, that's what I put the __set and 
__get magic methods there.


There is no problem if the variable has another name than the external 
property, if I use $obj->something  and the variable is declared protected 
$_something, the magic methods are called, but then I have different 
'external' names than the 'internal' ones, something which I wanted to 
avoid.


Since I want to have them with the same name, I might declare the variables 
public, but I wanted to use the magic methods to validate the values 
assigned to these variables.


Any ideas?

Thanks

[PHP] DOM: Problem with loadXML(), createProcessingInstruction()

[Chris Boget]

Apparently, loadXML() overwrites the existing structure of the document when 
called.  The problem is that when I try to add a PI (namely a stylesheet), 
it adds it to the end of the document thus making so that the XML is not 
transformed by the client.


To get around this, I thought I could just import my XML string into a 
DOMNode, but I do not see any method for that class analogous to the 
loadXML().  I looked at the possiblity of adding children to the document at 
specific positions (such that I could add the PI as the first child) but I 
do not see a DOMDocument method that allows it.  appendChild() merely adds 
the child to the end of the document.


Has anyone found a workaround for this; a workaround the fact that loadXML() 
completely replaces the existing document structure?


thnx,
Chris

The RTF parser may or may not attempt to account for font sizes...

You're kind of asking a question like:

Does the hammer take account of the size of the nail?

Well, yeah, sort of, if you have the right hammer to match up with the
nail you are trying to use...

PHP is a general programming language, a hardware store full of
hammers, not a specific hammer, and does not directly address fontsize
in a Word document in and of itself.

Individual RTF parsers or Word document handling software might, and
might be written in PHP.  Or they might be written in some other
language, and you could use PHP to run those programs to figure out
the page count within the documents and report that back to PHP.

actually changing anything at all!!

The fact that it's not changing anything is a secondary issue... What
surprises me is that chown,chgrp or chmod doesn't give any error or warning
for the fact that it's not doing anything. Except the is_writeable() which
actually prints "Is not writeable" The if(chown) etcetera continue
printing as if they changed the Owner/Group/Perms Even though they
didn't.

code: 

if (!is_writable("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf")) {
echo "Is not writeable";
}

$fileowneruidb=fileowner("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $fileowneruidb;
$fileownerarrayb=posix_getpwuid($fileowneruidb);
$fileownerb=$fileownerarrayb['name'];
echo "Owner is $fileownerb";

echo "My owner :".getmyuid()."";
if(chown("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf", getmyuid())) {
$fileowneruida=fileowner("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $fileowneruida;
$fileownerarraya=posix_getpwuid($fileowneruida);
$fileownera=$fileownerarraya['name'];
echo "Owner changed to $fileownera";
}

$filegrpb=filegroup("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $filegrpb;
$filegrparrayb=posix_getgrgid($filegrpb);
$filegrpb=$filegrparrayb['name'];
echo "Group is $filegrpb";

echo "My owner :".getmygid()."";
if(chgrp("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf", getmygid())) {
$filegrpa=filegroup("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $filegrpa;
$filegrparraya=posix_getgrgid($filegrpa);
$filegrpa=$filegrparraya['name'];
echo "Group changed to $filegrpa";
 }

if (chmod("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf", 0755)) {
echo "Mode changed to 0755";
}

Yes, it was more of a comment to ther previous comments here rather than a 
factual question for my part, but then again you never know.

Re: [PHP] FTP Copy

[Chris]

Matt Palermo wrote:
I've been looking on php.net, but can't find anything that covers this... 
Basically, I am using PHP FTP to connect to an FTP server and run some 
functions.  I want to copy a directory on the FTP server to another 
directory on the FTP server.  Since there isn't an ftp_copy() function, I 
have to use ftp_get() to bring the file to the local webserver temp folder, 
then use ftp_put() to place it into a different folder on the FTP server. 
This is quite a big pain, since the webserver is not on the same network as 
the remote FTP server, so it must download the file and then upload it to a 
different place (takes a long time).  Is there an FTP that will just copy 
the file/folder from the FTP server without the need to download/upload it 
somewhere else?


You can't do this through ftp itself so I think you're out of luck.

[PHP] preg_replace (again)

[Peter Lauri]

Hi group,

 

I know I am a little bit stupid when it comes to actually figuring out how
to use the preg_match and preg_replace. This is what I am facing:

 

A string like this: This is some _color:pink_ colored text _color_ that I
want to transfer

 

Should convert to: This is some colored text that
I want to transfer

 

Anyone who see a simple solution to this? Right now I have created an ugly
script that do the same thing, but I want to start to learn and use
preg_match.

 

Thanks.

 

/Peter

Does apache have write access to write to yer file, that goes for either o+r 
or that group or user is apache.

http://www.php.net/

Or do you mean rpms (or whatever opensuse uses)? STW?

Better off asking your opensuse mailing list, php.net doesn't build any 
distributions rpms or packages, that's up to the distributions themselves.

Are these vhosts all contained in httpd.conf, or are they separate

Does it make a difference?
