Re: [PHP] 301 redirect returning 302 instead

If you're using PHP 4.3 or later, header() lets you set the response
status code with the third argument. Otherwise, sending a Location
header sets the response status code to 302.

If you're using an old version of PHP, you should try reversing the
order of the header() calls in your example, if you haven't already.

Hope that helps.

My reading of that URL makes it sound like a Squid cache, with
configurable GET args being seen as relevant.

But, heh, 100 to 6000 improvement is definitely good for Windows users.

Hello all,

I'm new to this list. To not flooding the bug tracking system I hope
to clarify some of my understanding here.

I am referring to the (now bogus) bug report
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39356&edit=2. This happens after my
upgrade to PHP 5.2, where the code shown produces a "Fatal error:
Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?". Same testing code
reproduced below:


a = $a;
$a->b = $b;

$test = array($a, $b);

var_dump(in_array($a, $test));


I think this is not rare for a child item to have knowledge about its
parent, forming a cross-reference.

This code runs with no problem in PHP5.1.6, but not in 5.2. Ilia
kindly points out that "In php 5 objects are passed by reference, so
your code does in
fact create a circular dependency.". I know the passed by reference
rule. What I'm now puzzled is, why this should lead to an error.

To my knowledge, despite the type-casting issue and actual algorithm,
in_array() should actually do nothing more than:

function mimic_in_array($search, $list)
{
  foreach ($list as $item)
if ($search == $item)
  return true;
  return false;
}

Which means:
1. in_array() isn't multi-dimensional.
2. in_array() doesn't care about the properties of any object.

That is, I don't expect in_array() to nest through all available inner
arrays for a match, not to mention those are object properties, not
arrays.

So here is the question: Why should in_array() throws such a "Fatal
error: Nesting level too deep" error? Why should it care? Is there any
behaviour I don't know?

Thanks all in advance.

It doesn't have to be written in PHP.

Compile the following program and try it from the command line:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (2 > argc) {
return printf("usage: %s \n", *argv);
}
char *old = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
printf("old: %p \"%s\"\n", old, old);
char *loc = setlocale(LC_ALL, argv[1]);
char *check = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
printf("check: %p \"%s\"\n", check, check);
if (0 == loc) {
printf("setlocale: \"%s\"\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}
return printf("new: %p \"%s\"\n", loc, loc);
}

Put "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" in your apache config
and call the above from the script below, does the output differ?

foo.cgi:

#!/bin/sh
printf "Content-Type: text/plain\r\n\r\n"

You're probably running this from a web server, and that often runs as
nobody. Apache is typically started as root to allow it to listen(2) on
port 80. This process running as root doesn't handle http requests
itself, it fork(2)s, the child process switches its effective user id to
nobody and then handles the request(s).

> > why?should the folder belong to 'root' too?

Filesystem nodes are owned by the effective user id of the process that
created them. See chown(2), open(2), setuid(2) for details.

That does not affect this.

Not at all. umask influences the mode ("permissions") of the created
file, but is completely unrelated to ownership.

[PHP] ChangeLog PHP 5.2.0 - Fileupload

2006-11-04 Thread Christian Heinrich

Hey all,

I've just examined the latest Change-Log for Version 5.2.0 (see 
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php for details).


Seems to be fine, but I couldn't figure out one point.

The changelog talks about


Added RFC1867 fileupload processing hook. (Stefan E.)


and I actually don't know what is meant by that. I've looked up that RFC 
but it appears to me to be about multipart/form-data only. I confess 
that I haven't read it completly, but it didn't really seem to be 
talking about what I wanted to know.


So, could anyone be so kind to explain me what is meant by that and what 
its used for?


Thanks in advance.

Greetings from Germany

Yours sincerely
Christian Heinrich

You put the data in a directory outside of the webspace and use PHP

control access to the file.


By webspace, I'm referring to the directories outside of the ones  
used to store and serve your webpages.  This directory structure  
would serve as an example for where you store your webpages and where  
you store your data separately from the webpages:

[PHP] postgreSQl and images

2006-11-04 Thread Alain Roger

Hi,

I create a table with some large object (ref: OID) to store some images.
When my PHP will display some data, it will also display the images stored
as OID.

However, i've read that before i must restore the image by exporting them to
local (on server) file.

isn't it easier in this case, to simply store the path and file name of file
to DB and just read the data to display image on PHP pages ?
what is the purpose in this case to store image a bytea / large object ?

moreover, how my php code will load image from DB and stored there as OID ?
isn't it too much complex in comparison with just storing path and name of
image ?

thanks a lot,

Al.

there is no simple way to determine if the locale was set because setlocale() 
is returning
false even when a locale has been successfully set, given that for each 
langauge I have a list
of locales (to be able to handle different server/OS setups) I can never be 
sure which locale
in the list was actually set - now I suppose you could check the output of a 
locale aware function
to see if the output is in the desired locale BUT this would mean having to 
have some know output
to check against for each locale - that sounds like a recipe for messy, 
horrible (and quite
likely brittle if not unreliable) code.

I could be wrong, but I think date('e') tells us where your SERVER is.

Or, more accurately, what time zone your server was configured to tell
us it lived in, no matter where it really lives in the physical world.


Yes, this seems to be the case.

The function is correct.  Your understanding of its purpose is incorrect.


Figures. Just like calculus :)


date('e') is there so that the server can know what time zone *IT*
lives in, not what time zone *I* live in.

There is a reason why all those web forums let you set your time zone
in your preferences... :-)


Actually, there are those who have it already filled it. Take for example:

Put it this way:

then you probably cannot get it.


I figured that, and that was the first place I went looking.


If you *do* use the IP->country db, please allow a manual override for
those users whose IP is wrong in the db, or who are using some kind of

Of course. That was in the original plan.

that server seems to be in holland (so am I) and it's not even giving me the 
correct
selection. my guess is they either set the TZ to the servers TZ or take some 
kind of guess (ip database?).

I would use javascript to determine the user's local TZ by comparing a timestamp
written into the javascript output with the current time given by the 
javascript Date object ...
you can then offer a pre-selected TZ value in a selectbox.

just a thought

I don't know about the command line pear app, but I don't see how they
either (a) could, or (b) would want to, stop you from using the individual
pear libraries. Unless they scan all the files you ftp to your site.

Just upload the ones that you require.

Some downloadables that use the Pear libraries include the ones that they
require.

You do however have to remember to set the include_path before you include
any pear libs - preferably in a config file, but if your host is not being
nice, you can http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php

WebFtp sounds sucky. I can't imagine it integrating well with any apps.

I have a postgreSQL database in UNICODE (UTF-8 in v8.1.4 and UNICODE in
v8.0.1).

Via my web application i type a sentence in Slovak language and it is stored
into DB without any slovak characters. Instead of that, all particular
characters are replace with \303\251 or \303\206 or \304\314 and so on...

I was thinking that issue was coming from DB encryption but on 2 different
versions of DB (see above) i get the same result.
after, i was thinking that it was coming from my web browser, but even if i
setup character mode in central europe and Slovak language as default
coding...nothing change...i tried on IE and Firefox.

Last step, i tried to type directly from my PhpPgAdmin (direct typing
sentence there to DB), and i realize that when i click on save...the changes
appear in DB aswritten above (e.g. : \303\251,...)

My latest test was to write via PhpPgAdmin (directly to DB) the UNICODE of
slovak character contained within my sentence...so i used ý, í and
so on...
if i do that, those code are correctly saved into DB and when my PHP code
show web pages, all sentences are correct.

I can not imagine to write a special interface to convert slovak characters
to unicode everytime that user would like to type something new.
Something else must be badly setup...

Please, could you tell me where to search because i'm confused now...

thx.

Alain

No you don't.

depends.

Keeping track af thousands of small images... in my case anyway.
makes it very easy to keep track of what you got'n not.

the usual way?

depends again. You wouldn't be in my shoes storing all those small images on 
the fs and then keep track of them. 

either you end up with a had as method of grouping them together, 
moreover you can have thousands of small files inside one dir with an id name 
to it, and yes the last one, thousands of directories with one file inside...

no, no and nono

Alain,
 Why are you not using pg_dump command from the shell prompt of
postgresql administrative user account for doing backup? If you do
so, then you can restore backuped data in any postgresql server.

[PHP] Trying to create an encryption method

2006-11-04 Thread John Meyer
I'm trying to create this encryption method for puzzles (nothing super
secret, just those cryptograms), but this seems to time out, can anybody
point out what I'm doing wrong here:

for ($i=1;$i<=26;$i++) {
$normalAlphabet[$i] = chr($i);
}
//now, to shuffle

for ($j=1;$j<=26;$j++) {
do {
$k = rand(1,26);
} while ($k == $j || (strlen(trim($normalAlphabet[$k])) === 0));
$arEncryptedAlphabet[$j] = $normalAlphabet[$k];
$normalAlphabet[$k] = "";
}
$arNormalString = str_split($normalzedString);
$encryptedString = "";
for ($i=0;$i=65 &&
ord($arNormalString[$i])<=90) {
$encryptedString = $encryptedString .
$arEncryptedAlphabet[ord($arNormalString[$i]) - 64];
} else {
$encryptedString = $encryptedString . $arNormalString[$i];
}
}
return $encryptedString;
}

Both the inner loop and the outer loop are using $i, meaning the outer 
loop will never end since it gets reset in the inner loop.

Re: [PHP] Protecting Streaming Audio

2006-11-04 Thread Adam Gittins

Thanks. :)
That's an idea... Few questions. Grab the file and sendt it to someone, that
would work with a download but would it work with a streaming audio file,
because that has to be opened in realOne player or windows media player? I
was searching PHP.net documentation for a way of grabbing a file - what
function would be used?? Sorry about the silly questions..

Sincerely,
Adam

You put the data in a directory outside of the webspace and use PHP

control access to the file.

By webspace, I'm referring to the directories outside of the ones
used to store and serve your webpages.  This directory structure
would serve as an example for where you store your webpages and where
you store your data separately from the webpages:

/www/www.somesite.com/htdocs
/www/www.somesite.com/data

Re: [PHP] 301 redirect returning 302 instead

2006-11-04 Thread ianevans
Chris,

I just posted this to php-internals in response to someone else, but this
tale of woe shows the problem:

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://...";);
exit();

produces a 302.

header("Location: http://...";);
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
exit();

produces a 302.

header("Location: http://...",false,301);

produces a 302 and, for good luck,

header("Location: http://...",true,301);

produces a 302.

Everything's producing a 302. So you can see the dilemma.

No, there is no loop nesting.  The OP's indenting is 
misleading.  Here's a reformatted version:



for ($i=1;$i<=26;$i++)
{
$normalAlphabet[$i] = chr($i);
}

//now, to shuffle
for ($j=1;$j<=26;$j++)
{
do
{
$k = rand(1,26);
}
while ($k == $j || (strlen(trim($normalAlphabet[$k])) === 0));

$arEncryptedAlphabet[$j] = $normalAlphabet[$k];
$normalAlphabet[$k] = "";
}

$arNormalString = str_split($normalzedString);
$encryptedString = "";

for ($i=0;$iif (ord($arNormalString[$i])>=65 && 
ord($arNormalString[$i])<=90)

{
$encryptedString = $encryptedString . 
$arEncryptedAlphabet[ord($arNormalString[$i]) - 64];

}
else
{
$encryptedString = $encryptedString . 
$arNormalString[$i];

}
}
return $encryptedString;

}


The script spends eternity executing the do...while loop.  John, 
display your values at each loop while your code is running to see 
where your problem lies.


By the way, are you aware that chr(1) isn't 'A'?   It's hex(01).  'A' 
= hex(40) = dec(64).  Your array $normalAlphabet is not going to 
contain the alphabet the way it's written now.


Regards,
Paul
