ORDER BY RAND can be very unefficient on large tables.

Hi,

I'm using pdo-oci on php-5.2.2 against an oracle-10g server, using

'--with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.3/client/lib').

The problem...:
I make a simple php script that makes a select from a table. The table
contains spanish characters so I set the enviroment variable NLS_LANG to
SPANISH_SPAIN.AL32UTF8 before running apache (also tried other values 
that
use iso8859-1...). If I run the script in console (using the CLI 
version of
php) the returned data is in the desired collation, so I can see the 
spanish

special characters like "ñ", "ó" and so on... The problem is that running
exactly the same script via HTTP (apache2) I always get question marks
replacing the special characters...

I tried many things... I export the enviroment variable as root and as 
the
user running the apache daemon, I modified the apache init script to 
export
the variables just before starting apache, I tried using the putenv 
function

in php code and no luck at all...

I realized about something that maybe is related... a php script 
running in

CLI can access any environmental variable, but no any env-var running in
apache... for example the following code: 
will return my locale setting in CLI but returns nothing via http... 
is it

normal?

TIA!




Maybe you have the AddDefaultCharset directive from Apache2 set to 
ISO-8859-15 instead of UTF-8 (or even off)? I have worked with php-oci8 
and php5.2 without any collation problem this far (using ñ € ans so on...)

Re: [PHP] Static methods have access to private members

[Miguel J. Jiménez]

Theodore Root escribió:
I have a question regarding static methods in PHP5.x. Specifically, it 
seems that one can access member variables declared private from 
static methods, just as you can from instance methods.  I was 
wondering if this is by design, or if this "feature" might go away.  I 
have worked up an example, hopefully it won't get mangled:


myVar = "Example";
   $vars[] = $tempVar;
   return $vars;  }
}


$test = TestClass::loadAllObjects();

print_r($test);


?>


This code executes fine on PHP 5.2.0 with no errors or warnings, even 
though one might say that I have accessed the private $myVar from 
"outside" the instance of TestClass created in $tempVar.  This 
"feature" is useful to me because I'd like to create a static method 
on my DB-persisted objects that lets me load an array of all of a 
given type of object from a database, building each one without having 
to use setters/getters for each member variable (not because thats 
difficult, but because its nice to be able to have private members 
that can't be accessed at all from the outside world), while avoiding 
"lazy loading".  So essentially, my questions is, is the above 
functionality intended?



Thanks!

-TJ

Mmm pardon me if I am wrong but I think you have accessed the private 
variable using an instanced object inside the static method and what you 
are returning is fine... You did not access the private variable using 
$this->myVar ...

Thanks for the answer.

Nah I checked and apache has support for both latin1 and utf8 charsets, I
tried anyway forcing the output of apache to iso8859-1 and to utf8 but no
luck...

I'm almost convinced it's something about php reading the NLS_LANG
environment variable because if I just unset this variable php-cli (and even
oracle's sqlplus directly) behaves the same way as php-apache does (displays
special characters as question marks).

You've missing an open bracket in your INSERT statement. This is
causing your prepare() to fail, returning FALSE rather than a
statement object. You then call bind_param() on that and because it's
not an object you get the fatal error.

[PHP] Confused about how exactly to output image using imagepng function

[Dave M G]

PHP list,

I've looked at the manual entries for imagepng() and 
imagecreatetruecolor() functions for helping me to create a temporary 
image for a CAPTCHA system.


However, I'm clearly messing up, as what I'm outputting is a bunch of 
ASCII gibberish to the screen.


What I think I need to do in principle is first create the image with 
imagecreatetruecolor(), then define it as a PNG (?), then display it.


So I've got something like this:

$image = ImageCreate($width, $height);
ImageFill($image, 0, 0, $black);
echo 'width="' . $width .'" alt="captcha" />' . "\n";

ImageDestroy($image);

As mentioned, this isn't working, so there's a fundamental concept about 
how PHP creates and displays images that I'm not getting.


I'm trying to output an image that, ideally, won't be stored as a file. 
Or, if it has to be a temporary file, to delete it immediately after 
displaying it.


What part am I not understanding?

Thank you for any advice or information.

It's quite simple, a second PHP script should generate the image, not
the same as that isn't gonna work.

as src expects an url where the source is located, and what you are
doing is that you're giving the source right there.

so you should have a second script called image.php or such with code:
$image = ImageCreate($width, $height);
ImageFill($image, 0, 0, $black);
Imagepng($image);
ImageDestroy($image);

and then in your first page like
echo '' . "\n";

don't forget to send proper content-type header before the image data

header("content-type: image/png");

or something like that

[PHP] A Guide to running Apache 2, PHP 4 & PHP 5 on Windows XP

[Richard Davey]

Hi all,

I'm very happy to announce that I've just released my comprehensive
guide to installing, configuring and running Apache 2, PHP 4.4.7 and
PHP 5.2.2 on Windows XP. The guide is broken down into small
manageable sections and contains over 50 screen shots of the entire
process, so you won't go wrong while following it.

It covers everything from installing Apache, to setting up a Virtual
host to switching between PHP 4 and 5. A troubleshooting section and
further advice rounds-off the guide.

You can read the guide here: http://wamp.corephp.co.uk

Please send comments / suggestions / typos to me.

Suggestion: get rid of Windows XP and use a real OS

Comment: Vista doesn't count

Typo: http://wamp.corephp.co.uk/help_01.php
  "If Apache HAS worked previously in the past"

  You have "previously" and "the past" redundancy since
  previous implies the past and past implies previous.

You could select multiple operating systems from the list. 50% of them
used Linux too. It didn't show how the results were mixed though, i.e.
of the 70%+ that used XP, did 10% or 90% of them also use Linux.

I thought it interesting none-the-less.

Viruses? God, that old bullshit ladened chestnut*. At least come up

   It seems to me as though the OS argument is almost ignorant enough to
equate as, "I have no desire to be a pilot, so to hell with teaching anyone
else to be."

   PHP is meant to be as cross-platform as possible, and to have an open
source project *REALLY* succeed, it needs to be accessible on a variety of
platforms and distributions.  One may only have access to a Windows machine
at home, work, or school, and/or may not be able to modify something as key
as the operating system.  Additionally, perhaps they need to interface said
OS with Microsoft-proprietary software or something only available on a
Win32 machine.  To discount a tutorial on how to do this is ludicrous I
guarantee that not one of us here has gotten to where we are now --- let
alone where we'll be in the future --- without the help of an online
walk-through or two, even if someone, somewhere, considered it to be less
than worthwhile.

   I am a Linux user myself - at work, at home, and even in my vehicles.
While I prefer the Linux operating system as a whole over any other, it is
just that --- I *prefer* it.  Sure, I push for others to at least give it a
try, but I'm not going to classify someone as an "idiot" because they choose
not to get off of the Windows platform.  I just fail to see how such
closed-mindedness is in any way beneficial to the evolution and advancement
of the open source community, and moreover, technological advancements as a
whole.

   So with my two cents in there as well, we've almost got enough for a can
of soda to get the bad taste of this conversation out of our mouths.  I vote
for ginger ale, so that it will calm Greg's stomach after the "virus
protection racket" ad nauseum the poor guy experiences.  We don't need any
vomit on our nice, clean list.

How about installation time. Just clocked up 6.5 Hours re-installing XP on a

Of cause running Eclipse - it does not matter what the OS is :(

In a roundabout way, having to run a virus scanner is not a 
very 'competent use of the CPU', or 'effective memory management'. Or 
maybe Greg wanted to point out that Windows *is* the virus?

The "Argumentum ad populum" reference I made is quite applicable.
Otherwise, if not to lean on argumentum ad populum, why would he make a
reference to 70% of the poll using Windows XP?

I had 500 things I wanted to change, then I switched from Windows to
Linux in 2000 and found that they had been addressed. Sure enough
though, I'm working on a new list. There's only a few things on it
though ;)

Nah, Windows is certainly not the virus. It's more akin to a gaping

1. The virus and malware protection racket - M$ spent billions of
dollars and several years making Vista and just like normal it's fully
exploitable and insecure.  Vista currently has 22 critical exploits
listed at securityfocus.com and it's only been out how long?  If 22
security researchers are willing to publicly give up their findings do
you have any clue how many are keeping their findings secret to sell
to the highest bidder?  Do have any clue how much a working windoze
exploit goes for nowadays?  You think all those botnets just happened
by accident?  All together now, everyone thank M$ for your daily spam.

2. Perpetual Upgrading - you can use Ubuntu Linux 6.06 Server Edition
until 2011, fully supported.  How long til you're forced to upgrade to
Vista?  How long before your WinXP install is no longer supported?  I
would further argue that upgrading a Ubuntu Linux OS is painless.
When 2011 comes around, I can do `apt-get update; apt-get
dist-upgrade` to move on.  No trips to CompUSA to shell out hundreds
of dollars, no upgrading my hardware, none of that.  Gentoo Linux is
very simple to upgrade too.  I relinked my make.profile to the 2007.0
version and `emerge -uDN` away I go.  I have a Gentoo box that I've
upgraded that way for 4 years now.  I have a FreeBSD box that I
brought all the way from 4.0 to 6.2 by doing `make buildworld` once a
year or so.  Microsoft hasn't a clue how to make a simple forward
upgrade path for their lusers.  But that's how Intel likes it.

3. Bloat - 1.5+ hours to install Vista then finally you get to start
installing 'apps'.  At that point you find out Vista doesn't support
your two year old 3com ethernet card.  3com!  Fucking 3com is not
supported?  Jesus Christ.  With Linux you install for 20-30 minutes
and immediately have 99% of your apps ready to go.  The hardest thing
to decide is what color I want to make my bash prompt this year.

4. Hostile treatment of customers - M$ is currently choosing to not
sue 'opensource' for 235 patent violations.  They still want money
however, and without showing anyone which patents are being violated.
RedHat Linux has stated they will gladly indemnify their users without
anyone paying any M$ tax.  I hate RPMS as much as the next guy but a
bad day fighting RPMS dependencies is still better than a good day
fighting M$ viruses (or virii depending on how far north your grade
school was located).

I always correct people when I hear them say 'computer virus'.  I
explain how it's a 'Microsoft virus' because in all likelyhood it only
affects the idiots running a windoze OS.

5. Predatory Practices - How many companies have been eaten alive by
M$ over the years?  More than I can count or care to list.  Innovation
my ass.  This guy got tired of listing them and gave up several years
ago it seems:  http://www.vcnet.com/bms/departments/catalog/yrcatalog.shtml

6. .NET - proof M$ really wants to be a bank instead of a software
vendor.  Subscription based software?  Give me a break.

7. IE7 - My transparent pngs are almost working, almost.  Guess they
are trying not to do too much at one time.


You can read more on the web:
http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+sucks+because

1.62M results, but you probably already knew that being in the M$
loving majority and all.

Yeah I'd take installation time as a valid reason why XP sucks
sometimes :) I was very pleased to see that Vista installed in next to no
time at all, but let's not go there... one day someone will invent an
OS as powerful as my old Amiga used to have!

It's simple.  In the job interview you ask, "Will I be able to use
Linux (or Mac OS) as my primary desktop OS?"

When they say no, you get up and leave.  I've done it twice in the
past year or so.

I could only image the stupidity I would have found once inside the
door if they exhibited that level of clueless-ness in the interview.
One company actually told me they were afraid I would be pirating
software unless I used a windoze OS that could be 'audited' by their
sysadmins.  I blinked a couple of times, got up, and walked out.

Yay, some decent arguments! I don't deny any of them, I only take
exception to being called an 'idiot' by yourself for the OS I have to
use. You have no idea at all what I do for a living, what apps I need
to run, what software I have to develop, and I'm afraid the area in
which I work (games/movie industry) is not a Linux friendly one in
the slightest.

You see for all the upgrading wonders and angelic like behaviour of
your OS creators, it doesn't count for shit if I can't use it for
work, and there - as is probably the case for the vast majority of
people stuck with Windows - is where the buck stops.

their development platform, and a fair few who also choose to use it as 
a production platform. I can't believe there is anyone in these 
categories who doesn't know that alternatives exist, and who don't have 
the necessary skills to research the differences and make an informed 
decision.


So, from me, congratulations Richard, excellent work, keep it up.

Well in all honesty, my original post was tongue in cheek, I didn't
think it would go on and on from there.

BTW, could someone get behind me and give that stick thing that's poking
out a pull. I've been having trouble walking lately ;)

Bh, come on, help a guy out. IT CHAFFES!!

Re: [PHP] Download speed limit

[Ovidiu Rosoiu]

limiting speed by using sleep in your script is a very bad idea. for a 
350 MB file, with a 20 KB/s limit the script would take aprox. 5 hours. 
you can see how this is totally wrong. even skyrocketing the timeout, 
it's not a good solution.
Use a web server mod for dynamic bandwidth limiting. See 
http://www.topology.org/src/bwshare/README.html, maybe it will help you.

Your browser should not be seeing PHP code, so you might want to start 
by making sure your web server is set up to process PHP files properly.

I don't know if this will fix your problem, but you have an extraneous comma
after'"dba" => "/tmp/wiki.dbm",'.  Also try enclosing NULL in quotes and see
if your problem goes away.

Re: [PHP] Download speed limit

[Rangel Reale]

Yes, it seems to be bad thing, but this limit is because the big files are
non-critical, but I can't let them hammer the customer's connection, using
all the bandwidth. The internet connection is slow (500kbps ADSL), and they
have the critical applications running on it. It is no problem my download
taking 5 hours, event if the connection is broken I can continue the
download after.

I will look at the link you posted, thanks! But if there is a php solution
for this, that would be better for my application.

[PHP] Tipos about which CMS use

[robert mena]

Hi there,

I'd like to replace my 'intranet' site with a CMS system to speed up
the edit process.  Some of my requirements are :

- written in PHP  :)
- mysql based
- documented/'well structured' - to allow development of customizations
- ability to define which pages or sections are public and which are
private (and in this case which users can access)
- use AJAX (not mandatory) but since some access to the page will come
from dial-up to reduce the need to transfer entire html just to update
a search or list contents..

thanks

[PHP] Can't link image directory?

[Haig (Home)]

Hi everyone,

I have a simple script that scans a directory and will output a list of sub
directories as a hyperlink.

Script is working fine. Only problem I have is that if there is a
subdirectory called "Image", my script won't see it. If I rename that
subdirectory to anything else, it will see it.

If I use a standard href line to link that "image" subdirectory, that's fine
but then it won't show up alphabetically when the other folders are linked.

Any ideas?

Haig

Use the url parameter to work out the send rate.

[PHP] sessions from own php-extension

[HeavyWave]

Hi there

I'm writing my own php-extension in C++. Can I call ext/session
functions or somehow use sessions in my extension?

Re: [PHP] Re: Tipos about which CMS use

[Larry Garfield]

WordPress is a blogging app, not a CMS.  It's a good blogging app, but it's 
not a CMS.  Do not confuse the two.

Being a Drupal developer I have to recommend Drupal.  A lot of places are 
using it for intranet type stuff.  (http://drupal.org/)

But really, this question is asked about every 2 weeks.  Search the archives 
and you'll have enough emails to read to keep you busy for a week just on 
this one topic.

[PHP] Problems with SSL and stream contexts on 4.x branch...

[David Preece]

Hi,

Well, this has been fun. I'm not normally a PHP guy, but right now I  
need to move some data from an HTTPS server into PHP. Problem is that  
I'm trying to do it properly, confirming that the servers certificate  
says what it should and that it isn't self signed (i.e. the chain of  
trust extends all the way up to the root). I've been at this for  
getting on for two days now and have got this far:


if (function_exists('openssl_open')) echo('Not a dumbarse');
$sc=stream_context_create();
$rtn=stream_context_set_option($sc,'ssl', 'verify_peer', true);
$rtn=stream_context_set_option($sc,'ssl', 'allow_self_signed',  
false);
$sock=fsockopen('ssl://development.atomicdroplet.com',443,$errno, 
$errstr,30,$sc);

if ($sock) {
fwrite($sock,"GET /msg_serve/123/ HTTP /1.0\r\n\r\n");
while ($contents=fread($sock,8192)) echo $contents;
fclose($sock);
};

Now, I actually just tripped across the fsockopen call using a stream  
context (my IDE autocompleted it for me) and it's not covered in the  
docs. I also wanted to use stream_socket_client but realistically  
have to target the 4.x branch, probably all the way back to 4.3.0.


The error I get is #36, "Operation now in progress". Commenting out  
the two stream_context_set_option calls makes it work properly ...  
but also completely defeats the purpose of trying to establish the  
real identity of the other end.


I could also use curl, but it seems rare that it is installed.

Any guidance is gratefully received ... as I said, this has taken  
rather a long time and my patience is wearing thin :(

[PHP] showing source

[James Lockie]

This almost works but all my < and > are replaced with "".

   // open this file to show the source
   if (($fh = fopen( __FILE__, 'r' )) === FALSE){
   die ('Failed to open source file (' . $_FILE_ . ') for 
reading!');

   } else {
   $tags  = array( "<", ">" );
   $safe_tags = array( "\\<", "\\>" );

   print "\n";

   // read the file line by line
   while (! feof( $fh )) {
   $currentLine = fgets( $fh, 255 );
   $noTags = str_replace( $tags, $safeTags, $currentLine );
   print $noTags;
   }

   fclose( $fh );
   print "\n";
   }

ok if its only your application thats going to use this data, you could

1. setup a ftp server that does bandwidth limiting. Then your 
application downloads the file via ftp.


2. rsync has a bandwidth limiting option aswell.



But, if there is no other way, this will be the way!

Have you tried something like this?
