If you can find users dumb enough to download and execute a .bat file
from your site, that .bat file can do *anything* *it* *wants*...

You'll have to ask on some kind of .bat list (or perhaps .bat cave)
how to download a file without prompting, but it's got nothing to do
with PHP at that point...

Good luck!

PS *NOBODY* should be downloading your .bat file and running it in the
first place...

Re: [PHP] Application support both chinese and english lang

[Richard Lynch]

A) Try the i18n list on php.net
B) I think Chinese might need UTF-16... Or maybe simplified Chinese
doesn't can be done in UTF-8...  I'm just guessing wildly at this
point...

It should have solved it, unless you've messed up your session data
with the previous script already...

Are you SURE they turned it OFF?  Check phpinfo again.

If all else fails, just change the variable name to something else in
the usr_frm.php script, so they don't "collide" with session data...

You'll have one array of all the 21s, and one of all the 22s.

Honestly, is really doesn't make a damn bit of difference unless you
have ZILLIONS of records in the first place, in which case you
shouldn't be sucking them all down at once anyway...

So write whatever you can figure out what's going on next month/year
without beating your head against the wall trying to read your own
code.

Worry about optimizing only after you identify bottlenecks.

Anything else is optimize-wankery.

I've never seen any browser do anything useful with these goofy tags...

But the Designers seem to luv them...

If you really want scrolling, you'd better put them in a DIV or
IFRAME, I think.

Re: [PHP] WSDL Generator class

[Richard Lynch]

IIRC, the nuSoap.php did what you want, and PHP's nifty new SOAP class
does everything else better...

So run nuSoap once to get the WSDL thingie, and use PHP 5 SOAP for the
rest.

YMMV

I may be out-dated (again) on my PHP knowledge.

Or should I say "still"?

Re: [PHP] Function Declared in Included File Not Being Found

[Chris]

Richard,

Neither removing the if/else nor the function_exists() not call worked.

If I declared the function in the same file I called it works even  
when defining it after the call.


If the function is declaring in a different file than the one I call  
it in and I include the files after the call, it simply doesn't work.  
Unless I did something subtly wrong or am back on the drugs.


This SEEMS contrary to the documentation.

The "issue"  occurs in PHP-CLI 4.4.4, PHP 5.2.1, and PHP 5.2.2.

I'll files a bug report in the hope of an explanation but I'm pretty  
sure that it isn't considered a bug.

Perhaps the if (function_exists()) business is trying to be "smart"
and is run because at the time it was compiled, the function didn't
exist, so you could define the function there -- which is a much more
common idiom than what you are doing, truth to tell...

[PHP] Making code public -- What steps to take? GPL?

[Micky Hulse]

Hi,

I am in the process of writing a simple but useful plugin for a blogging 
application


Long story short, I want to give-back to the community (i.e. free 
plugin), but would like to make an attempt at retaining some credit if 
folks port/use to/in other scripts/blogs/cms apps.


Any tips or links ya'll could share with me?

Anyone have any /* comment blocks */ I could put in my code?

Something like this, for example:

/*
** THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY
** OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
** LIMITED   TO  THE WARRANTIES  OF  MERCHANTABILITY,
** FITNESSFORAPARTICULARPURPOSE   AND

** OR  OTHER  LIABILITY,  WHETHER  IN  AN  ACTION  OF
** CONTRACT,  TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF
** OR  IN  CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR
** OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
*/

Different verbiage, of course...

Or, should I just not worry about this?

Lol! I hope I am phrasing my question right... I have been up all night 
coding, so my brain is kinda mushy right about now. :D


Many TIA's!
Cheers,
Micky

   If you want to retain some credit but don't care about
distribution/modification/redistribution, check out the MIT license (more
commonly referred to as the X or X11 license).  We're using it in a project
that combines PHP and text-to-speech technology.  It allows people to
improve (or degrade) our code, but says that we should still get our names
at the top as the original authors.

You know more than me daniel :P

All current releases aren't packed with any license, and in
sourceforge the PHP license is selected i believe :P

I'd say, don't worry too much about the license, just put your name on
top of the code, and some other nonsense, like:
You're allowed to use this code, as long as you leave above lines
intact., where above your credit is listed of course.

It's not contrary to the documentation. The docs say that a function 
does not need to be declared before use - this is true, so long as it's 
declared in the same file.


When PHP parses a file it first looks through it looking for 
declarations and adds them to the global scope. It then goes through it 
again executing the code. Require/include and their _once versions don't 
get executed until the second pass, and they get done at the point where 
they're called.


So, if you're going to use functions in an included file, you need to 
include that file before trying to use them. If you're using functions 
in the same file, the order of things in that file does not matter.


This is *not* a bug!!

Hope that clears it up.

[PHP] php5 include() problem

[Al]

I've got a cgi file in my cgi-bin folder that I'm calling with include(). It 
worked with php4.

My shared host just upgraded to my server to php5.2.0 and the function doesn't work.  I can't tell if the problem is a 
php5 or server configuration [which may have changed during the upgrade] issue.


If I call the file as a URL directly, it works.
http://www.foo.org/cgi-bin/file.cgi?dir=/test&perms=0755

file.cgi chmods the designated directory's permissions.  It's a cgi with a php 
shebang #!/usr/bin/php

A simple file_exists() shows the file exists OK, TRUE.

I've tried using both syntaxes.

include("/home/foo/public_html/cgi-bin/file.cgi?dir=test&perms=0755");

include("www.foo.org/cgi-bin/file.cgi?dir=test&perms=0755");

Here is the error msg:
Warning: include(/home/foo/public_html/cgi-bin/file.cgi?dir=/test&perms=0755) 
[function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/foo/public_html/EditPage/cgi_file_test.php 
on line 15


Bottom line:  It appears include() is not working right, for whatever reason.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Al

What the heck are you trying to do?
You want the cgi file to be executed? Or is there PHP code in the cgi file?
If you want the first, you should look at exec() or system() or such.
If there's PHP code, there's no sense in passing variables to the CGI
script, and if you remove the variables it will work.

See the examples on this page:  http://ca.php.net/include/
What you probably want to do is to change the cgi script to php and then 
give the full url, incuding http.

Check if the new configuration of PHP allows HTTP calls. Include, 
require, fopen, etc are traditionally for local file-system files. 
Obviously you're calling it via HTTP so you get the parsed output and 
not the source code of the CGI script, but if your host has disabled URL 
opens with PHP 5 then it would explain why it no longer works.

No.

You'll just get "Array" back.

You can do a few things:

 $v1){
foreach($v1 as $k2 => $v2){
  ?>
Actually, you should wrap htmlentities() around each value being echo-ed
out.

Another option is to http://php.net/serialize the data before you send it to
HTML, and then (duh) unserialize it when it comes back.

Or, be REALLY smart, and use session_start() and just put the array in
$_SESSION and don't send data back-n-forth over HTTP, which is A) expensive,
and B) subject to user tampering, and C) inefficient.

Actually, A and C technically depend on your bandwidth versus hard drive
speed, or wherever you store you session data, so, in theory, it could be
cheaper or more efficient to use HTTP...  But I sure doubt it in any real
world hardware setup.

PS Just FYI, internally, PHP's session data is just serialized the same way
you'd do it for HTTP.

[PHP] session destroy callback (onSessionDestroy event)

[Emil Ivanov]

Hi,

I need to do some clean-up when the session is destroyed or values are 
removed from it (expired).

using session_set_save_handler does not work for me, as I don't want to 
rewrite session handling, I just need to be notified when a value is 
destroyed.

Regards,
Emil Ivanov

P.S. I'm dealing with temporary pictures, saved on the disk and their path 
stored into the session and I need to delete them when they are no longer 
needed.

Hi Cayon, thanks for clarification.

I just woke up, so I have not had a chance to really research the best
option for my code... Hmm, a part of me does not mind the things you say

Heheh, well, either way, thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Re: [PHP] php5 include() problem

[Al]

Is there an alternate way to execute a php in cgi-bin so it can do a chmod() on site 
directories as the "owner"?

My approach was the only way I could think of.  Given the obvious problem(s), 
it appears that it may not be a good choice.

Re: [PHP] scrolling HTML tables

[Larry Garfield]

I usually say go ahead and use thead and tbody for semantic completeness.  If 
you're doing anything funky with Javascript, then you can "group" table rows 
by having multiple table bodies (yes, that's legal!) and then operate on each 
tbody separately.

Don't waste time with tfoot.  It's broken.  Completely.  The W3C had this 
brilliant idea to require tfoot to go before tbody, so if you have a footer 
row it appears before the body unless you have a browser that knows to shift 
it to the end of the table, out of lexical order.  Such a browser does not 
exist.  It's completely backward-incompatible.  It's one of the dumbtest 
things the W3C has ever done.

But yeah, tbody and thead are fine, go ahead and use those. :-)  If nothing 
else they're useful for when you start manipulating the table with 
Javascript.

Re: [PHP] Making code public -- What steps to take? GPL?

[Larry Garfield]

Beware also that if you have an "advertising clause" that requires your name 
to stay on it, then you could be preventing GPLed projects from using it.  
The GPL is incompatible with "advertising clause" licenses.  That's why the 
PHP License, for instance, is GPL-incompatible.  (GPL is the most widely used 
Free Software / Open Source license by a very wide margin.)

If you're OK with both open source and proprietary usage, then consider the 
LGPL.  It's compatible both directions, only requiring modifications to your 
code specifically to be shared.  The modern BSD license is even more 
permissable.  It doesn't have a mandatory advertising clause, but IME if you 
have a good drop-in module that has a "copyright Me and released under the 
LGPL, see home page here" type message most people won't bother taking it 
out.  

The people who would try to take credit for your code wouldn't care what 
license it was under in the first place anyway.  

Thank you for sharing your code!
