Hobby or not, when you publish information on the web without a big
message saying "I have no frickin' idea what I'm talking about", you
are
presenting yourself as an authority on the subject. And when you
answer
questions on a mailing list with links to your site you are
re-enforcing
that point.


Just to play Devil's Advocate...

Are you suggesting that every site on the 'net, or even just those
which LOOK like worthy material, without such a disclaimer, IS
authoritative?...

:-)


"People" are stupid, and they believe what they want to believe. If 
they're looking for an answer, they'll take any answer that comes along, 
usually without any concern about the source.


So no, I'm not saything that every site on "the 'net" IS authoritative, 
I'm saying that anyone publishing information in any medium needs to 
understand that people will assume they know what they're talking about.



Taking this a step further, or dragging it out into an open discussion:

I'm not a real huge fan of the folks on this list who post almost as
often as I with links to their own ad-revenue sites, but they are at
least (usually) on-topic and with valid information available to the
reader.

It might be better if they sprinkled in links to php.net or even
(gasp!) a "competitor's" site sometimes, but it's not like total
spamming, eh?

There are even times where I know that there is specific content on
such a site, and I'll recommend it.

SO where do you draw the line?

Seems to me we have to be reasonable about that.

And we also have to expect the Reader to at least have half a clue and
do some basic research about the source[s] of their info, and their
vested interests, and choose for themselves what info to pursue... 
Though based on experience with some posts, that may be expecting more

than will actually happen.  Aim high. :-)


I agree that the reader should realise that not everything they read 
will be accurate, but readers tend to be people and are therefore 
generally stupid. Anyone who disagrees with that either lives in a box 
or demonstrates the point.


Where do I draw the line? I draw the line at mis-information. However, I 
could have phrased my comment slightly better, and for that I apologise.

I think the only way, and I really hope I'm mistaken, is to recompile php

I don't think you can do it from php.ini.

Re: [PHP] Re: Disable Soap Client and Soap Server in php5

[Don Don]

I guess i installed php using apt-get along with the necessary modules e.g. 
soap etc, is it then the case of removing the soap library ? I dont want soap 
removed but just disabled.  Am not really sure if that will work.

Check the SID constant after you've done session_start(). If it has an
empty value, the session is using cookies; otherwise, it'll have a value
of the form 'sessionname=sessionid', which is what is appended to the
URL (or inserted in forms as a hidden value) to propagate the
session-id.

[PHP] Re: DBA flatfile mode

[Al]

See if there is a optimize, clean. vacuum or refresh command.  Most DBs have 
them by whatever name.

Maybe SQLite would be an alternate choice.

Ultraband wrote:

Hello,

I'm using PHP's dba flatfile mode to maintain a flatfile database with a 
few

records. It works good, but I was wondering about how it works. I notice
that after deleting a record, only what I take to be the key part of the
record is removed (the dba_* functions now longer read this record although
it remains in the flatfile), also when I update a record the key part of 
the

record is removed, and another record is added with a new key.

Is this how the flatfile mode is supposed to work? Is there somewhere I can
find a little more on the inner-workings of this? It seems like it could be
relatively easy to debug if it became corrupted (as it is a textfile).

Thanks in advance,
Fidel

[PHP] Search function

[Ryan A]

Hey!

.A little background:
We have a site that has already been made.. a couple of hundred pages displayed 
via SMARTY templates, the site's in Swedish.

The navigation and other parts except for the center is taken care of by the 
templates and other scripts... the center main text is taken from the 
database(mySql) based on $page_id...its in a MySql TEXT field and has all the 
html etc that will be displayed in the center of the page.

End of background..

Now they want to add a "search function" to the site... a simpe textbox where a 
user enters a word or sentance and they get 20 results per page... with a "x.xx 
% closest to your query"  can anybody give me basic pointers on where to start?
Any links/software or articles too would be appreciated...

(I can do the pagentation etc... just the search logic...)

Thanks!
R

One way to do this would be to let the script check itself:

 $end_of_day) {
   exit(0);
   }
   }

   pcntl_signal(SIGALRM, "signal_handler", true);
   pcntl_alarm(300);

Here you set an alarm that checks every 5 minutes to see if the current 
timestamp is greater than the timestamp a minute before midnight.  If it 
is, then exit.  Or set a flag in the signal handler that is accessed 
elsewhere in your script which tells the script that it's time to exit.

I also use NuSOAP with PHP5, all I did is edit nusoap.php and rename the
class "soapclient" to "soap_client".

[PHP] Problem with mssql_query()

I noticed the following in my logs:

Why is mssql_query() saying that it's unable to set the query?  I did some 
searching on Google and found that people were having this problem but that 
was back in 2001 using an earlier version of PHP.  We are using version 
4.3.11 and Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86).


Has anyone had a similar problem?  What was your solution?  Why is this 
happening?

   PHP has two functions that may help you here, Eric --- chmod() and
chown().

   http://php.net/chmod
   http://php.net/chown

   It should be enough to chmod($filename,0644); the file if it's just an
image, or chmod($filename,0755); the file if it's a script.

my opinion a part of a much larger issue that has to do with the anonymous
nature of the internet with regards mailing lists, as well as the kinds of
product review sites/blogs/etc...

there is no 'good' way for the average user/reader to know if what someone
says is really valid!!! if you, (or anyone else) created a kind of
ranking/rating process so that when a given person posts something, you
could quickly check that user's credentials, then you'd make yourself a nice
chunk of change...

Just to play Devil's Advocate...

Are you suggesting that every site on the 'net, or even just those
which LOOK like worthy material, without such a disclaimer, IS
authoritative?...

:-)


Taking this a step further, or dragging it out into an open discussion:

I'm not a real huge fan of the folks on this list who post almost as
often as I with links to their own ad-revenue sites, but they are at
least (usually) on-topic and with valid information available to the
reader.

It might be better if they sprinkled in links to php.net or even
(gasp!) a "competitor's" site sometimes, but it's not like total
spamming, eh?

There are even times where I know that there is specific content on
such a site, and I'll recommend it.

SO where do you draw the line?

Seems to me we have to be reasonable about that.

And we also have to expect the Reader to at least have half a clue and
do some basic research about the source[s] of their info, and their
vested interests, and choose for themselves what info to pursue...
Though based on experience with some posts, that may be expecting more
than will actually happen.  Aim high. :-)

[PHP] Ajax?

[Emil Edeholt]

Hi!

What do you guys use to develop ajax applications and do you have any 
good articles on the subject?


I've just about finished an ajaxish site but it wasn't fun. A lot of 
nesting javascript inside php calls, having to write the logic both in 
javascript and php and so on. The source looks ugly and was time 
consuming to debug.


Thanks!

Kind regards Emil

that
was back in 2001 using an earlier version of PHP.  We are using version
4.3.11 and Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.2039 (Intel X86).

Has anyone had a similar problem?  What was your solution?  Why is this

[PHP] Re: session cookies enabled?

That is what I was intending to do.  How do I find out if 
whether or not the session cookie was accepted using the 
built-in sessions? I found no function for such a test. 


Check the SID constant after you've done session_start(). If it has an
empty value, the session is using cookies; otherwise, it'll have a value
of the form 'sessionname=sessionid', which is what is appended to the
URL (or inserted in forms as a hidden value) to propagate the
session-id.


Interesting idea. 


This brings up a question.  In order to decide whether to use cookies
or SID the built-in sessions must be testing to see if the user's
browser will accept the session cookies.  How do they do that? 


If they do it by the "2 page", send a cookie and see if it comes
back to the second page method we have been talking about, then
somehow, they are sureptiously inserting a forward to a non-
existant page!  Right?  How do they do that? 

Best, 

Craig

Have a look at the various frameworks available since these handle much of
the nasty details:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_application_frameworks#PHP

I've been using Qcodo (http://www.qcodo.com) for a recent web app and am
impressed at how quickly I've been able to develop with it. For
JavaScript/CSS, I've also been using Yahoo User Interface (YUI) components
which I'm also really impressed with: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/

The thing with frameworks and libraries is that everyone will have their

I'm not sure why the job requires you to lease the IDE though - Photoshop is
a bit pricey, but it's not that bad!

no problem but no $_ENV['OS'] variable.  Further, when I check my
phpinfo(); output, there are even fewer $_ENV variables printed than the CLI
offers.

   I'm not certain about this, Cor, but my guess is that PHP 5.x.x may have
altered the default $_ENV output to hide some of this information --- which
is a good thing, in my opinion, because then you won't just have some
run-of-the-mill script kiddie checking out the details of a box for known
security holes.

   Of course, that doesn't necessarily stop  or checking the $_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATURE'] variable for the OS
information so perhaps this response is just one of those white-bread
responses.  Something to chew on, but you really don't get anything from it.

How to get $_ENV variables ?

You can get it other ways:


php -r 'system("set|grep OS");'

HOSTNAME=neptune.local
HOSTTYPE=powerpc
OSTYPE=darwin8.0
POSIXLY_CORRECT=y

Re: [PHP] Ajax?

[Satyam]

I´ve been using the YUI library and, specifically for AJAX, the Connection 
Manager (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/connection/), but also many of the 
other components in YUI.


I find that some of the frameworks are a little heavy, covering both the 
JavaScript side and the PHP server side. In some you deal with the PHP side 
and in some misterious way JavaScript gets sent to the client, but they are 
too obscure for my taste, I prefer to know what goes on.


YUI coupled with Firefox with the FireBug debugger plugin is a great 
combination and on the server side you are quite free to do and use whatever 
you want. And don't miss the videos of the presentations of  Douglas 
Crockford on JavaScrit and the DOM.

Hi!

What do you guys use to develop ajax applications and do you have any good 
articles on the subject?


I've just about finished an ajaxish site but it wasn't fun. A lot of 
nesting javascript inside php calls, having to write the logic both in 
javascript and php and so on. The source looks ugly and was time consuming 
to debug.


Thanks!

Kind regards Emil

If phpinfo() shows them, then that is what is there...

There's nothing magical about phpinfo() function.

It doesn't do much more than your print_r($_ENV)

So unless you are running your script in a *DIFFERENT* environment
(e.g., CLI or CGI versus Apache Module) you ought to see the same
things if you spell $_ENV correctly...

You can't even mess up variable scope, since it's a superglobal...

No, wait...

I think if you write it as a function and then declare $_ENV as
'global' you might actually manage to mess up and end up with your own
$_ENV instead of the real one...  Never tried that, but it might
"break" it.

CLI and CGI and Apache module *are* different environments.

Different things will be available to ENV when PHP runs.

Almost for sure, PHP just blindly passes on anything you are stupid
enough to have crammed into ENV... :-)

I doubt that it strips out anything, for any reason.

There's nothing wrong with installing Apache 2.

However...

As I understand it:

The biggest "win" in Apache 2 is probably the thread stuff.

Some PHP extensions are not thread-safe.

So you have to do "pre-fork mode" of Apache, which, for the most part,
puts you back into an Apache 1.x environment.

For a dev box, Apache 2 would be a FINE selection, especially if the
production server is already Apache 2, or you want to be sure you'll
be able to move forward safely.

Just be sure to stress-test it once in a while, to make sure you're
not introducing a thread-safe issue, if you decide to turn on Apache
thread stuff.

I switch to GIMP IDE ages ago.

All the same features, albeit under different menus, but OpenSource

No, but here's a Tip:

If you spell it that way, the code you write just plain doesn't run,
and nothing tells you what went wrong.

*THAT* particular typo only wasted a half-day for me a couple weeks ago.

   Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone things AJAX is some sort of

   Or am I just talking out of my ass again?  I seem to be doing that a lot

I thought *I* was way behind with my RH 7 main desktop/dev/production
box. [Don't ask why it is all three of those at once...]

Though, I guess, now that the network card conked out (afaict) it's
not a production server anymore.  Oh well.

I don't think I'll ever really grok /sbin/route -n output, but it
looks just like the one that's working, and it's still not working,
and I can swap cat5 cables and the other one works, so I guess it
almost has to be the network card just up and died...  Right???

Dude, it's kind of your JOB to know these things, and if you don't
know them, you can use Google to find out...

Asking a few thousand PHP Developers to explain what Photoshop is, and

Well, it's kind of like walking into a crowded barber shop and asking
what a carbeurator is...

Don't be surprised if the answers you get are 100% wrong, or jokes, or

Re: [PHP] Problem with mssql_query()

[Richard Lynch]

I dunno 100% for sure about MSsql, but I know for sure that MySQL lets
you do wording_id = '8' when wording_id is an INT and PostgreSQL will
simply throw an error, because '8' is not no way no how an INT.  It's
a string.

I suspect MS SQL may be doing the same, in its own unique bland
non-desript way of just saying "error"...

Try losing the '8' and use just 8

You could google for "full text search" and "weighted search" and find
more than enough reading to fill the rest of your life... :-)

With only a couple hundred pages of content, it's kinda hard to really
make a good search engine...

You'd almost be better off just building a form that leads to Google
and using theirs, really.

The same way you would do it.

Actually, they might have just used:

$cookie_name = session_name();
if (isset($_COOKIE[$cookie_name])){
  $session_id = $_COOKIE[$cookie_name];
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST[$cookie_name])){
  $session_id = $_REQUEST[$cookie_name];
}
else{
  $session_id = uniquid();
}

No, that's not how it works.

JUST send the dang cookie on every page.

And check if it's there on every page.

And whatever first page the user gets to, with no cookie, be sure you
send them suitable content for having no cookie.

It depends how "smart" apt-get is gonna be, but you might try:
uninstall soap
uninstall php
re-install php FIRST
re-install SOAP

Since PHP will think SOAP was not there, it won't add in the PHP SOAP
stuff.

If apt-get is "smart" and figures out that you wanted SOAP + PHP
because you already have PHP, you have no choice but to compile from
source and choose what you want, instead of taking whatever apt-get
feels like giving you.

su to root

ps auxwww | grep socketxxx.php

If 'xxx' changes, you could just maybe do:

ps aux | grep socket | grep php

Once you're sure you know what you want to kill, you could use 'kill'
to kill it.

You'll need the process ID number, which is the first number you see
in the row, right after the username.

Now that I've answered your question...


Almost for sure, whatever it is you THINK you should be doing, you've
done something else horribly wrong that is making you THINK you should
be searching for and killing these processes, but you shouldn't.  :-)

Since they already ARE php, it would probably be MUCH simpler to alter
the PHP in your socketxxx.php script, and add a couple lines like
this:



This presumes you actually need the process to die in the first place,
which sounds kinda hinky in and of itself, to tell you the truth...

Most Un*x socket-based processes start at boot and run forever until
the machine is shutdown, or somebody trips over the power-cord.

There probably is a http://php.net/chown, but unless you are running
Apache as 'root' (DON'T DO THAT!) then it won't work.

However, you can use http://php.net/chmod to make the file readable by
you as well as the 'www' user.

It is very frightening, however, to see the group 'wheel' on the file,
since 'wheel' is usually reserved for users that can 'su' to root, and
having uploaded image files in that group just doesn't feel right.

[PHP] Every Wednesday....

[Daniel Brown]

   I've noticed a pattern every Wednesday, I start to go a little loopy
around 1-2:00p in the afternoon.  I can't concentrate, I get restless,
circus music plays louder in my head than normal

   So it should come as no surprise that, when trying to execute a file
that just wouldn't work on one partition, I started literally banging my
head off the wall.  However, when I looked back at my progress up to this
point, it was almost like the command-line history was telling some sort of
story this is actually taken from my log a few minutes ago.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] adventure]$ ./adv

[EMAIL PROTECTED] adventure]$ ./whore MONEY_REMAINING
There is an estimated $2,020 remaining as of 9 May, 2007, at 14:00 EDT.

   At the end there, it just so happened that in the course of less than 60
seconds, a transfer for $100 went out on an automated payment at 2:00p local
time from one account to the next (checking to savings, which I have set to
do at 2:00p every Wednesday afternoon automatically).

   The moral of the story?  It's better to do this:

    than to `strip whore`

[PHP] Scalable Site Architecture

[bruce]

Hi..

In looking for what's required fo a site, I'm trying to find
docs/overview/mentors to talk to/etc,...

Basically, I'm considering what's required in terms of
hardware/apps/functionality for each server to be able to support a
site/system of ~100,000/day

i'm considering:
 http server
 app server (single/multiple)
 db server

Is there someone I can actually talk to who's actually been involved with
the architecting/implemenation of this kind of structure.

Any really good pointers that someone can point me to to get well versed in
this area.

Thanks

[PHP] Apache ErrorDocument / PHP header() interaction does not work as expected

[Marc Liyanage]

I recently worked on error handling and three related issues/ 
questions came up.



1.) I am trying to trigger Apache ErrorDocument handlers by setting  
appropriate HTTP status codes in my PHP code, but I don't get the  
expected results.


My PHP file:


The status code is sent to the browser, but the ErrorDocument handler  
is never triggered, it looks like Apache passes the value on to the  
client, but does not interpret it.


The last posting on this page suggests something to this effect:

http://www.webmasterworld.com/apache/3205630.htm


This surprises me, is that really how it works? In my Perl  
applications running under mod_perl, returning status 500 does  
*both*, send that status to the browser and make Apache interpret and  
act upon the value. What is mod_perl doing differently?


I can actually have two separate status values, one that gets sent to  
the browser (Apache2::RequestRec::status()), and one that is returned  
to the Apache server (the handler() method's return value). Does  
something similar exist in PHP? Or do I really have to replicate the  
ErrorDocument functionality in my PHP code?



2.) In my tests with mod_perl just now I also realized that mod_perl  
will properly signal an error 500 condition to Apache if a Perl error  
such as a syntax error or an unhandled exception occurs. A configured  
ErrorDocument 500 handler will be triggered, as I would expect it to be.


It seems that PHP does not signal an error 500 to Apache when PHP  
code fails. Wouldn't this be a useful addition for exactly this  
reason (ability to use Apache ErrorDocument).



3.) While playing around with set_error_handler(), I also saw that  
syntax errors are not trappable with a custom error handler. I use an  
autoloader that loads classes on demand, and if one of the class  
files loaded at run-time has a syntax error, my error handler is  
bypassed. Combined with the inability to trigger ErrorDocuments  
described above, doesn't this mean that it is absolutely impossible  
to hide such errors from users by replacing them with a "friendly"  
error page when using PHP?


That would mean that I am not even able to emulate the ErrorDocument  
feature in PHP code.

[Farid Jamea]

Hello,

To me this seems to be a very strange problem.

I have a static html page (index.html) that shows correctly on both FF2 & 
IE7.

I splitted the website up into different sections: (header, footer, ...). To 
do this I have used:
--

Some code goes here...

--
 and so on.
When I test my page (now index.php), it shows perfect on Firefox, but in IE 
some stuff are not in their right place. I have checked the source code of 
both index.html and index.php and they seem both identical to me.

Do you know why IE fails to correctly render the page?

Anything involving javascript development has several built in 
debugging facilities
1: Alert dialogs: You may find it a chore to learn how to use them 
effectively. But
   the current content of any variable can be displayed with an alert 
dialog. You
   have to pay attention to how strings are concatenated; with +, The 
actual

   variable name cannot be quoted.
2: Browser error reporting, in Netscape species, javascript console. 
Take a hint,
all source code text should be formated for Unix/Linux ( line feed 
line endings)
If you do scripting on a Classic Mac OS <= OS9, the line endings 
are carriage;

and Windows uses both carriage return and line feed.
return. You will drive your self crazy cussing the console because 
it will not refer

to lines containing syntax errors, but some disrelated lines.
3. View source window in browser to see exactly what the browser is 
getting on

page load.
4. Forms: I have coded special forms just for the sake of development 
and debug
   of javascript apps.  All globals are visible through out the script, 
WITH THE EXCEPTION
   OF SOME THAT ARE DEFINED IN SOURCED JS FILES; Opening a javascript 
window is
   in a function does not seem to register if the function is in a 
sourced file.
5. Patience, patience, patience, some masochism, Several large 
available paper back
   text books. No one will describe all you might need to know about 
issues like rollovers,
   DHTML, etc, Imagination and ingenuity, or the will to search and 
sift through others
   source code until you find what you are looking for, and then making 
it work for you.
  That's it, I have some suggestion that there are systems available 
for javascript but I

  have done without long enough to have my methods and approaches.
One more thing, php and javascript work very well together. I have even 
written a
function to display php variable values as javascript alert dialogs. It 
will not function
as break points for php like it does with javascript, but at least you 
do not have to

decipher php error smeared all over the screen.
And Ajax, even though I have not cracked that particular aspect of 
javascript as yet,

looks very worthwhile.

RE: [PHP] PhP and Java login trouble

I have a question about your suggestion.
Would it not be easier to simply carry the sessionid from the php session
validation to the javascript?
Instead of: if(document.frmlogin.txtusername.value=="")
{
alert("Please Enter Username.");
document.frmlogin.txtusername.focus();
return false;

Why would I want to "re-enter the user name"?
My common sense "which maybe completely wrong" say, YOU ARE VALIDATED IN
PHPBB via issetid, now post to (document.frmlogin.userid.value=="")

This is why I am not catching your angle.

PhP makes so much more sense. This javascript integration is really giving
me a headache!

Suggestions?

Eh? I never sent you to a website.

See this code:

function validatelogin()
{
if(document.frmlogin.txtusername.value=="")
{
alert("Please Enter Username.");
document.frmlogin.txtusername.focus();
return false;
}
if(document.frmlogin.txtpwd.value=="")

document.frmlogin.txtpwd.focus();
return false;
}
document.frmlogin.login.value="Success";
document.frmlogin.action="operation.php?mode=login";
return true;
}


You need to create a *similar* function (eg 'BBValidateLogin()') to 
check different html field names.


For example:

function BBValidateLogin()
{
   var f = document.forms[0];
   alert('username is ' + f.username.value);
}

The username.value comes from this:



where you have name="username"

So take the name="..." and put a .value on the end.

Rinse, repeat until you have checked all of the fields you need to.

Return true for the form to submit.

Return false for it to NOT submit.

Re: [PHP] Search function

Hey!

.A little background:
We have a site that has already been made.. a couple of hundred pages displayed 
via SMARTY templates, the site's in Swedish.

The navigation and other parts except for the center is taken care of by the 
templates and other scripts... the center main text is taken from the 
database(mySql) based on $page_id...its in a MySql TEXT field and has all the 
html etc that will be displayed in the center of the page.

End of background..

Now they want to add a "search function" to the site... a simpe textbox where a user 
enters a word or sentance and they get 20 results per page... with a "x.xx % closest to your 
query"  can anybody give me basic pointers on where to start?
Any links/software or articles too would be appreciated...

Start off with that, if they need something more complicated down the 
line, revisit.

Hi..

In looking for what's required fo a site, I'm trying to find
docs/overview/mentors to talk to/etc,...

Basically, I'm considering what's required in terms of
hardware/apps/functionality for each server to be able to support a
site/system of ~100,000/day


Depends on your app and what you want to do.

If it's 95% "pull content from the database and display it" (eg a page 
from an article), look at creating static html files which get 
regenerated when the content is edited 
(http://pear.php.net/packages.php?catpid=3&catname=Caching)


A webserver should handle 100k hits a day of static html pretty easily.

If you're doing complicated database queries with every page hit then 
you're going to need a lot more database servers than http servers.
