You're site is incredibly slow...
You host it on your local PC?


From my home IP I get ping results of ~170 ms, from a damn fast server

I get ping results of 60 ms, it should be less than 5ms from the
server, and less than 10ms from my home connection...

Re: [PHP] File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs

You don't appear to have read what I said. A Java applet can use FTP

you need to give it so it can rename the file. This is the only bit 
PHP gets involved in and it doesn't involve trying to upload 4 gig

Thanks again for replying.

I have read. I have been trying to find out way for last two days.
I can say about jupload and how it seems to work.
It uploads file to server in a temporary directory.
It has postURL parameter. Then it POSTS the data to php file.
Because it POSTS, the php configuration values comes into question.

Here is an example:

Settings in php.ini are 50M for upload_max_fisesize and 50M for 
post_max_size.

I used japplet  and  uploaded a 51.89 MB file.

This is what is in error log.

[08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Warning:  POST Content-Length of 54414946 
bytes exceeds the limit of 52428800 bytes in Unknown on line 0


[08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  File0 in 
E:\projects\ice\post_test.php on line 13


File0 is the first file in $_FILES array, as POST fails I don't get that 
array.


I uploaded a 48 MB file and it worked without any problem.


Ok, I think I see where your confusion is coming from. I'm not 
suggesting that the applet I'm describing already exists - it would be 
something you'd have to write or commission someone to write for you.


Every existing file upload applet I've ever come across uses HTTP POST 
to upload the files, but this is not what you need. It will almost 
certainly have to be a bespoke solution.


Another way you might approach it would be to define a naming convention 
for uploaded files and accept them via normal FTP upload. The user then 
visits your website and fills in a form that will tell your PHP script 
where to find the file as well as giving it the other information it 
needs. Setting up a secure write-only FTP server is well documented on 
the net, but is well beyond the scope of this mailing list.

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs

[Sukhwinder Singh]

I will again suggest http://radinks.com/upload/ .  It does not use POST to
transfer huge files.


Thanks everyone for replying.

I had a look at that. My problem is that along with uploading file I also 
have to post some other information as well. File names are randomly 
generated. Jupload seems to do the work other than that POST problem. Client 
is asking for web based solution. I cannot ask him to do ftp.


PHP's handling of uploaded files is confusing. I have added logging to the 
script to which jupload posts. Logging suggests that php file is only 
accessed after file is completely uploaded by jupload. I also checked apache 
access logs. Entry in apache log appears only after file is completely 
uploaded.


Another thing that came up with this jupload is that as soon as I hit upload 
button, a file named phpxx.tmp (xx is any number) is created in temporary 
directory and its size starts growing as upload happens.


If applet doesn't post to php even at start then how come the temporary file 
is named phpxx.tmp.


I tried to upload file on internet using jupload and it seems to me script 
is timing out even when I have specified 1 hour as timeout.

set_time_limit(216000);

137 MB upload seemed to time out. and the set_time_limit doesn't seem to 
have any affect.


Now the even if I accept php's 1.99 GB limit. What to do about this timeout? 
Do I have to set it in php.ini? Why woudn't it work through the above 
function?


Stut is suggesting it has to be custom made as this kind of solution doesn't 
seem to already exit. A solution where some applet etc. only passes that 
information to php which is needed to move the file and update the database.


Thanks,

Absolutely correct - the data sent with an HTTP POST will be completely 
uploaded before the PHP script is started. Likewise, the entry in the 
apache log will only be done once the request is completed otherwise it 
doesn't know all the information it needs.

The applet *does* POST to PHP. However, it has the option to upload to 
an FTP server "the choice of using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP connections 
for your transfer" (from the website).

Indeed, that is what I'm suggesting. However, I *do* think the solution 
exists, but I've only ever seen it on specific websites. I've never seen 
a product that can do this sort of thing.


If you don't mind me asking, what are people uploading? 4gig is a lot 
for a single file of any type except maybe DVD images. Is there no way 
the user can upload several (read lots) smaller files instead of one big 
one?

You certainly can be "approximate" when coding. It's called heuristics
and it's an absolute necessity in many areas of software development.

Absolutely, and what about fuzzy logic -- that method is based upon

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs

Stut, thank you very much for explaining things and trying to help.

The applet *does* POST to PHP. However, it has the option to upload to an 
FTP server "the choice of using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP connections for 
your transfer" (from the website).


So it seems applet posts complete data to that php file handling script 
(rather php engine),*as soon as upload button is clicked*, rather than 
uploading first and then posting to php. That is the reason for name 
phpxx.tmp of temporary file.


As that seems to be the case; there is no real benefit in using applet (in 
case of http) other than that progress bar which is already supported by php 
5.2


It also seems that php engine only hands over control to php file after the 
file is completely uploaded that is why my custom logging doesn't start as 
soon as upload starts. It only starts when file is already uploaded.



The timeout is likely coming from Apache. It has a limits similar to PHP.


Tested on two servers. Both cases it seems to fail if it takes more than 30 
seconds.

I get an error:
[08-Jun-2007 20:15:06] PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 
seconds exceeded in \handle_upload.php on line 2



If you don't mind me asking, what are people uploading? 4gig is a lot for 
a single file of any type except maybe DVD images. Is there no way the 
user can upload several (read lots) smaller files instead of one big one?


It is not people that are uploading things. It is admin, and admin is local 
to server. I won't want to try uploading 4 GB over internet. And yes these 
are dvd files. They are going to be uploaded for streaming. But along with 
uploading of files som other fields also have to be uploaded. Client is 
showing examples like http://www.attachmore.com/Whysubscribe.aspx which 
claim unlimited upload size. I assume they are using custom activex 
controls.


Looks like I have to post that php's upload limit of 1.99 gb to php internal 
mailing list.


Thanks again,
Sukhwinder Singh

Actually I need to get the root domain from the URL as a previous step to a
WHOIS query.  You can't do a WHOIS on "www.example.com".  It has to be
"example.com" only.

dig www.example.com  doesn't always give the information I need either.

I think DNS is the way to go, but need to figure out why dns_get_record()
returns an empty "authns" array for some of us but works properly for Robin
and for the example in the manual.  I haven't found anything yet, but I'll
keep searching.

Thanks,

Brad

The OP might want to take note of this comment on that page...

If you want to upload files larger than 2 gigabytes, then you can't use 
Apache 1.3.x or 2.0.x.  You need to use Apache 2.2.x, as explained on 
the "New Features in Apache 2.2" page:


Large File Support
httpd is now built with support for files larger than 2GB on modern 
32-bit Unix systems.  Support for handling >2GB request bodies has also 
been added.

That's no problem, it's what I'm here for (I knew there was a reason).

The applet *does* POST to PHP. However, it has the option to upload to 
an FTP server "the choice of using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP connections 
for your transfer" (from the website).


So it seems applet posts complete data to that php file handling script 
(rather php engine),*as soon as upload button is clicked*, rather than 
uploading first and then posting to php. That is the reason for name 
phpxx.tmp of temporary file.


As that seems to be the case; there is no real benefit in using applet 
(in case of http) other than that progress bar which is already

It also seems that php engine only hands over control to php file after 
the file is completely uploaded that is why my custom logging doesn't 
start as soon as upload starts. It only starts when file is already 
uploaded.


I think you need to read up on how an HTTP POST request works when it's 
handled by PHP because some of what you've written there indicates that 
you don't quite have it. When you hit the upload button the browser 
makes a connection to the server and the PHP engine gets invoked to 
handle the request.


The engine then reads the entire HTTP request, including the file data 
that is being uploaded. That temporary file is created by the PHP engine 
to temporarily store the incoming data. Only when the entire request has 
been read does the PHP engine start running your PHP script.



The timeout is likely coming from Apache. It has a limits similar to PHP.


Tested on two servers. Both cases it seems to fail if it takes more than 
30 seconds.

I get an error:
[08-Jun-2007 20:15:06] PHP Fatal error:  Maximum execution time of 30 
seconds exceeded in \handle_upload.php on line 2


That's the PHP timeout kicking in. There is another setting in php.ini 
(I forget what it's called) that tells it how long it is allowed to wait 
for the request to be read, but looking at that error I'm not convinced 
that's what's causing that timeout. It's very difficult to tell without 
seeing your script.


If you don't mind me asking, what are people uploading? 4gig is a lot 
for a single file of any type except maybe DVD images. Is there no way 
the user can upload several (read lots) smaller files instead of one 
big one?


It is not people that are uploading things. It is admin, and admin is 
local to server. I won't want to try uploading 4 GB over internet. And 
yes these are dvd files. They are going to be uploaded for streaming. 
But along with uploading of files som other fields also have to be 
uploaded. Client is showing examples like 
http://www.attachmore.com/Whysubscribe.aspx which claim unlimited upload 
size. I assume they are using custom activex controls.


If you look at the screenshots on that site you will see that they 
install something on your machine that provides the upload capability. 
Look specifically at the screenshot that shows the user right-clicking 
on a file in Windows and selecting to upload it. That's not a 
"web-based" solution, and if your client is pointing to it as such then 
they don't really know what they've talking about (like most clients in 
my experience).


Looks like I have to post that php's upload limit of 1.99 gb to php

Definitely worth doing, but don't be surprised if you get the same reaction.

No, those are for initiating an FTP connection from the server on which
PHP is hosted.

The applet you use currently might be doing that, yes. So you should
write another applet, which transfers the file by ftp and posts other
data and file location to php after the file transfer is complete.

I think that's what Stut and others are telling you for a while now...

Yes I didn't know. But I learned by actully experimenting with it and 
discussing on this mailing list.

It is not everyday that you have to deal with such issues.

Sites like these calim that you can use your web browser to upload 10 gb 
files. http://www.sendyourfiles.com/features/?web-mail

But clients forget that they are using some kind of plugins.

That's the PHP timeout kicking in. There is another setting in php.ini (I 
forget what it's called) that tells it how long it is allowed to wait for 
the request to be read, but looking at that error I'm not convinced that's 
what's causing that timeout.


I think what you wanted to write was max_input_time.


It's very difficult to tell without seeing your script.


My script does nothing more than get the file information, move it and 
update the database.


Looks like I have to post that php's upload limit of 1.99 gb to php 
internal mailing list.

reaction.


Yes I expect the same response :-). "Don't upload 4 gb files over http"

The only thing M$ designed is "obsolescence builtin". But they do have a 
habit of patenting things invented by others.

As with most open source projects it is simply not possible for M$ 
to "buy" them. Sure, they may be able to "buy" or hire the main 
contributors to a particular project and influence which direction it 
takes. But if interested people don't like the direction in which M$ is 
taking the project they can simply fork it. IOW there is no way M$ can 
embrace and extinguish an open source project. This is something that M$ 
has to learn. In the past they were able to destroy _really_ innovative 
products by buying the company and squatting on its technology (ie kill 
off all development and let it die off). For _merely_ innovative 
products, M$ just stole what it needed and if its lawyers couldn't get 
the owners of the stolen technology to back down, they just paid the 
token fine that the courts usually imposed.

But somewhere in the guts of the approximate calculations there are 
_precisely_ defined limits. Anyhow, please illustrate how you would use

   Yeah, like I've said in other posts, I've been using Mandrive
since before Connectiva got in the mix, and it was Mandrake.  The
first version I jumped on was Mandrake 7.2 (Odyssey) back in 2000,
after jumping off of Redhat 7 (Guinness).  I usually upgrade about
once every year or so, going to 8.1 (Vitamin), 8.2 (Bluebird), and 9.2
(FiveStar), but used FiveStar from 2003 until last year when I made
the huge leap to 2006.0 Community.  Freaking amazing.  So since 2000,
I've been using it at home, in my vehicles, and even used it as a
requirement for hire when a new company wanted to bring me on (which
is from where I'm typing right now, in fact).  I haven't bumped up
versions yet on any of my machines, so 2006.0 is my most recent
installation, and I rarely use it for a production server (though
almost always for my local test and development environments), but as
long as Mandriva keeps everything in the spirit of the original
Mandrakelinux project, I don't see myself jumping ship completely.
I'll add a CentOS server or play with an Ubuntu distro here and there,
but Mandrake will always be home to me.

Yes, it's called PyQT. For purely non-web work Python beats PHP hands

Perhaps it would've been better to say "it is _available_ on more 
platforms". No doubt given enough dedication you can probably get both 
Python and PHP to _run_ on most platforms. However as an example, Python 
(albeit an older version) is running happily on Nokia S60 phones, whereas 
AFAIK there are no PHP running on said phones.

Also Python supports all the major GUI bindings whereas PHP only supports 
GTK (AFAIK).

Precisely defined limits are not the same as precisely defined values. I
might precisely define the amount of entropy on a random value as being
some formula based on the current temperature of my CPU. The formula is
quite precise, but the value is only precisely known after I take the
temperature... and even then it probably doesn't serve me to know it
explicitly unless I'm verifying results. If I then take that random
value and use it to make other decisions then the end result isn't
exactly precise.

Taking this to a world of expansion... everything we do as humans
probably comes down to a precise formula, all our thoughts and all our
actions based on those thoughts. But what isn't so precise, is knowing
all the variables that impose themselves upon the decision making
process at the atomic/sub-atomic level.

As for how this affects the aspect ratio of an image... it doesn't
really, but the person who said that "You can't really be 'approximate'
when coding" didn't exactly confine it to the question about aspect
ratio and an image.

Cheers,
Rob.

The end result isn't "precise", but it will always exist between some
very real and very price possible values, those controlled by the min
and max temp of your CPU.

You are never going to be happy with such large uploads over HTTP, imho.

Nor are your users, for several reasons:

  Browser timeout completely outside your control
  Too many users will think they have to sit and wait to finish

Sort of...

You'd have to read Apache and PHP sources to see how it all works for

It's entirely possible that Apache and PHP conspire to handle the
upload, and do things about the upload, but you won't have any access
in php script to it, most likely, until it's all finished.

That said, check out Rasmus' recent patch to PHP which allows for an
upload progress meter -- It's entirely possible you could glean
something useful from that...

It's posting to Apache which is talking to PHP to handle the upload,
but it's a "team" process, and your PHP script has zero access until
it's done.

You have to define "timing out" more clearly...

Often-times, a browser will give up, even if the upload is proceeding
normally.  We cannot fix broken web browsers.  No matter how much we'd
like to. :-)

Then the timeout isn't coming from PHP, but from another source.

Apache may be timing out, a buggy browser may be timing out, the
Internet connection may simply not be stable enough for a sustained
transfer...

A 1.99 G limit is probably file-system based...

You cannot affect file upload in a PHP script, because the upload
occurs (or fails to occur) long before your PHP script begins to run

Perhaps you should look at Flikr's application that they implemented

... and the resolution at which the temperature can be measured. But we
digress, this is merely a specific example, there are many more metrics
that can be sampled to give an extremely large range of values.

If it tried to upload and then do a separate POST, then you'd have no
way to connect the two events, as HTTP is stateless.

Or, rather, you'd need to overlay some kind of protocol on top of HTTP
that would maintain the state to tie the upload to the POST.

It's not "impossible" but nobody has bothered to do it because HTTP
file upload works "okay" for normal uses, and if you have ginormous
files, you'll be better off using FTP anyway.

But do feel free to write and release an Open Source solution to this
problem.

[PHP] Faulting module php4ts.dll

Actually only admin will upload files and that to locally. That is why I am 
not worried about wasting 15 minutes to upload it through browser.





PHP's handling of uploaded files is confusing. I have added logging to
the
script to which jupload posts. Logging suggests that php file is only
accessed after file is completely uploaded by jupload. I also checked
apache
access logs. Entry in apache log appears only after file is completely
uploaded.


Sort of...

You'd have to read Apache and PHP sources to see how it all works for

Only if I was a C programmer :-). Not even java programmer anymore.





Another thing that came up with this jupload is that as soon as I hit
upload

temporary
directory and its size starts growing as upload happens.


It's entirely possible that Apache and PHP conspire to handle the

Yes, that is what is happening.




That said, check out Rasmus' recent patch to PHP which allows for an

I have my own ajax script. which uses php 5.2 to monitor progress. The 
problem is php's limit of around 1.99 GB. You have missed few posts.

http://www.nabble.com/RE:-File-Upload---post_max_size-and-upload_max_filesize-in--GBs-t3884697.html

In my first email I had specified that when I set php limit to 4G it starts 
complaining about maximum post  length (as it becomes negative). It seems to 
store values in integer or something.


Also even apache 2.0 complains about invalid content length when I try to 
post 4 gb file. I have checked logs. May be apache 2.2 solves this problem.

The name of the uploaded file is all it would need to connect the two

If by protocol you mean pass an identifier in the POST to tell it what

Try this:

01 )download the full version (.zip package) of php 4.3.11, unzip it in 
a temporary folder, search into the unpacked folder for: php4ts.dll;


02) make a backup copy of your php4ts.dll, and execute copy/paste this

You've got a fair chance that it won't crash anymore once you upgrade to 
anything newer. 4.3.* is not being maintained anymore, 4.4.* would 
probably fit better for you, though PHP 5.2 would obviously be best if 
you don't have any problems with BC between php 4 and 5.

[PHP] Determing Content-type from request header when Apache installed as CGI

[Chris Sommers]

I read many notes on apache_request_headers() about simulating this function
when Apache is configured with PHP as a CGI. In looking at the $_SERVER
variable definition, I do not see the Content-Type variable listed. Does
someone know how to extract this in an Apache PHP CGI configuration?

And I'd wager those values too have precise minimums and maximums. You
can pluck an "approximate" value from between them however you like,
but I'm still waiting for evidence that that value will never lie
between some very tangible limits, and still be of any kind of
real-world value in your code. Due to the very nature and way in which
CPUs work, and the effect this passes up through to any language that
cares sit on it, at the end of the day if the architecture itself
cannot deal with 'approximate' values, anything that happens on the
higher level will always be reduced to a value that exists between two
very solidly set limits. If you don't impose those in your code, what
happens beneath will impose it for you regardless. I'd be happy to
read some papers or code that you feel demonstrates what you're trying
to get across if you have any links.

Taking that statement literally, it apparent that code has to be precise. 
You cannot have "sort of a while loop here" and "kind of an if statement 
there" :) 

So whilst the algorithm that you use may rely on imprecise (fuzzy) values, 
the way you code that algorithm has to be precise. I think that about

[PHP] PHP Corrupts URLs

[Nathan Corvino]

I have a php script that gets a url from a GET query parameter.  I have 
been running this script on PHP 5.2.2 on Ubuntu Linux, and everything 
works as expected.  I have just installed PHP 5.2.3 on OS X via 
MacPorts, and the same query parameter url has any single quote 
characters escaped with a backslash when I retrieve it from $_REQUEST.


$url = $_REQUEST['url'];
print($url);

Thanks everyone for replying.

I had a look at that. My problem is that along with uploading file I 
also have to post some other information as well. File names are 
randomly generated. Jupload seems to do the work other than that POST 
problem. Client is asking for web based solution. I cannot ask him to do 
ftp.


PHP's handling of uploaded files is confusing. I have added logging to 
the script to which jupload posts. Logging suggests that php file is 
only accessed after file is completely uploaded by jupload. I also 
checked apache access logs. Entry in apache log appears only after file 
is completely uploaded.


Another thing that came up with this jupload is that as soon as I hit 
upload button, a file named phpxx.tmp (xx is any number) is created in 
temporary directory and its size starts growing as upload happens.


If applet doesn't post to php even at start then how come the temporary 
file is named phpxx.tmp.


I tried to upload file on internet using jupload and it seems to me 
script is timing out even when I have specified 1 hour as timeout.

set_time_limit(216000);


The php script that you are posting to does not get parsed until PHP has 
control of the upload.

There for, you cannot override the timeout with uploads.

afaik, you are using the stock php.ini setting while you are uploading.

look here

http://us.php.net/set_time_limit#33462
and this
http://us.php.net/set_time_limit#54765

I think you are running into an Apache time limit, not php



137 MB upload seemed to time out. and the set_time_limit doesn't seem to 
have any affect.


Now the even if I accept php's 1.99 GB limit. What to do about this 
timeout? Do I have to set it in php.ini? Why woudn't it work through the 
above function?


Stut is suggesting it has to be custom made as this kind of solution 
doesn't seem to already exit. A solution where some applet etc. only 
passes that information to php which is needed to move the file and 
update the database.

I never said they wouldn't be tangible precise values, but the
likelihood of you computing the complete set of possible outcomes
approaches zero as more range is added.

The very nature of existence and perception relies on the tangible. We
can imagine infinity but we cannot experience it. Since you can't
experience beyond a certain threshold of possible outcomes, the result
set is no longer tangible to your perceptions.

Cheers,
Rob.

This should not be taken to mean that if one changes php.ini, that the

You CANNOT change the file upload time out with set_time_limit,
however, because the file upload happens BEFORE your PHP script begins
execution.

The time limits affecting file upload can only be set:
  a. in http.conf, for various Apache settings, if any (off-topic)
  b. in php.ini or .htaccess
 b1. you'll need to crank up max_input_time, I think
 b2. max_execution_time for sure
 b3. memory_limit while you are at it, probably

You of course have to crank up upload_max_filesise to way beyond what
you expect for an uploaded file.

[PHP] OO Problem / Using Singleton Pattern / Extending mysqli

[Lee PHP]

Hi guys,

For the life of me I can't figure this out. I have two classes as follows:

1. Config.php (based on the Singleton pattern; gets/sets properties).
2. Database.php (also based on the Singleton pattern; extends mysqli).

-- BEGIN CLASS CONFIG --
 $line) {
if (ereg("^#", $line) || ereg("^[[:space:]]", 
$line)) {
// Ignore the comments and blank lines.
}

else { // Get properties from the file.
$tokens = explode("=", $line);

self::$INSTANCE->setProperty(trim($tokens[0]), trim($tokens[1]));
}
}   
}   

return self::$INSTANCE;
}

/** Set a property. */
public function setProperty($key, $val) {
$this->properties[$key] = $val;
}

/** Get a property. */
public function getProperty($key) {
return $this->properties[$key];
}

}
?>
-- END CLASS CONFIG --

-- BEGIN CLASS DATABASE --
.
*
* Extends PHP's MySQLi.
*/

require_once("Config.php");

class Database extends mysqli {

private static $CONFIG;
private static $INSTANCE;

public function __construct() {

}

public static function getConnection() {
if(empty(self::$INSTANCE)) {
self::$CONFIG = Config::getInstance(); // ERROR HERE
self::$INSTANCE = new Database();
}

return self::$INSTANCE;
}
}
?>
-- END CLASS DATABASE --

Now, in one of my unit tests, I call `$CONN =
Database::getConnection()` and receive an error message, "Fatal error:
Call to undefined method Config::getinstance() in
C:\xampp\htdocs\rsfs\php\classes\core\Database.php on line 23".

Can anyone tell me why the Database class can't see the Config class?
If it's any use, here's my unit test that's breaking:

-- BEGIN UNIT TESTS --
.
*
* Test class for Database class. */

require_once('../../external/SimpleTest/unit_tester.php');
require_once('../../external/SimpleTest/reporter.php');

require_once('../../classes/sys/Database.php');

class DatabaseTest extends UnitTestCase {

private static $CONN;

public function testConstructor() {
$CONN = Database::getConnection();
}
}

$test = &new DatabaseTest();
$test->run(new HtmlReporter());
?>
-- END UNIT TESTS --

[PHP] Problems connecting to mysql

[Tom Cruickshank]

Hello,
   I was using a FAMP (FreeBSD Apache MySQL PHP) server for some web
development I was doing. Then I had to switch over the php pages to a Linux
box, however, the database is still on FreeBSD. Does that make any
difference?

The reason why I ask is because I keep getting this error.

I use "die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());"
Could not connect: Can't connect to MySQL server on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (13).

If I use "die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_errno());"
Could not connect: 2003

I did some research on error 2003 and it appears that I would see this if
communication access was not established.

However, if I try connecting to the mysql database using the command line
I have no problems.

Mysql -u some_user -p -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

This only started after I started using linux as web server and freebsd as
database.

If there is a more appropriate mailing list to ask this questions, please
feel free to direct me towards it.

Tom

Granted, you need to take into account limitations outside of php. ie...

Since the database is on FreeBSD, it's a seperate machine?
This probably means that you're not allowed to connect to the machine
by LAN, but only through localhost, and you should take a look at your
mysql config file on the FreeBSD machine.
Where do you run the command line? on your freeBSD machine or your Linux box?

Re: [PHP] Re: File Upload - post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in GBs

[Sukhwinder Singh]

I think the problem occurred as I specified size in php.ini using 4096M or 
4G. Then just now I specified as 4294967294 around 4(GB) and I am getting 
the POSTed values. *Locally, on windows xp* this is working but when I set 
these values as as 4294967294 on Mandriva with php 5.1.6 and Apache/2.2.3. I 
get nothing in post as post_max_size turns negative and it won't allow any 
content greater than negative value.


I am still trying. I Installed Apache 2.2.4 on windows. Now file is being 
uploaded properly but file was still not moved. I had added a check


if ($file_details['size'] > 0) // do moving, update databases


and it was being returned negative. The logged it and $_FILES showed this 
for a 3.28 gb file


Array
(
   [File0] => Array
   (
   [name] => FC-6-i386-DVD.iso
   [type] => application/octet-stream
   [tmp_name] => C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.COM\LOCALS~1\Temp\php77.tmp
   [error] => 0
   [size] => -769771520
   )

)

I have removed this file size check and file *Uploaded Successfully*.

I haven't changed memory limit at all. Script time out I had to specify in 
php.ini file as one hour. Even though time of around 6 minutes should be 
enough to do the move_uploaded_file and update database but set_time_limit 
had no effect.


Any guess upgrading to php 5.2.1 on mandriva will solve problem as it 
already has apache 2.2.3?

RE: [PHP] Problems connecting to mysql

[Tom Cruickshank]

It is definitely on a separate machine.

I have host as '%' in the user table in the mysql database.
When I used the command line "mysql -u some_user -p -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
It was in a local and remote setting (ie, done in the linux machine and
freebsd machine). 

If it didn't work via command line, it would give me a starting point to
work on, as of right now, I just don't get it. I'm starting to think
something somewhere is not compatible or configured. But in my opinion it
*should* be possible to connect from a linux to bsd box and vice versa.


Hope this Helps.

Re: [PHP] PHP process control

[Richard Lynch]

I believe that in CGI or CLI process you'd be okay, as the "fork"
happens in its own process, and can only mess up PHP, which is fairly
safe.

In PHP as Module, you risk thread-safety issues in a big way with any
PHP extensions that aren't thread-safe.

And nobody is 100% sure on any of the extensions (or anything else,
really) being thread-safe or not.

I suspect that in FCGI, you're in the same boat as in PHP Module, and
the documentation hasn't quite caught up to FCGI as a paradigm, but I
could be 100% wrong on that...

Google for the error message is always a good idea.

You'll probably find suggestions about editing your php.ini and
un-commenting php_openssl.dll or somesuch.

You'll also find issues regarding not actually having that DLL -- You
*must* get the exact DLL that matches your PHP version.  No other will
do.

IIRC, that DLL also relies on a second or third DLL named [mumble]
[something something something] sea.dll

I don't actually use windows, so don't know, but this is my guess,
based on previous posts here.

Can you run it in a second script and get the file contents, without
opening and writing the file first?

I don't think so, but MAYBE mysql_affected_rows would return that data...

If any of the rows fail, I'd expect the mysql_error() would have some
kind of error message in it, and your result would be === false, I
think.

Another option would be to do a select count(*) before and after, and
subtract the difference.  You could also compare that to the number of
lines in the file, and "know" if it all went okay.

Wrap it all in a transaction, if there's any chance another process
could be adding/deleting rows at the same time.

The fact that filesize is "failing" and stat is "failing" when you
give a specific filename suggests to me that your filename is at
fault.

Try things like:

echo file_exists($filename); // if it's there, it should be TRUE

$path = dirname($filename);
$dir = opendir($path) or die("$path is not there\n");
while (($file = readdir($dir)) !== false){
  echo $file, ": ", filesize("$path/$file"), "\n";
}

This will list all the files in the directory -- which may not be the
directory you think you are looking at, ESPECIALLY if you are using
relative directories.

Ok, did you check the logs of Apache if any detailed error is reported?

And what about the logs of your MySQL server on the FreeBSD box?

Oh, and PHP code maybe?

Since the database is on FreeBSD, it's a seperate machine?
This probably means that you're not allowed to connect to the machine
by LAN, but only through localhost, and you should take a look at your
mysql config file on the FreeBSD machine.
Where do you run the command line? on your freeBSD machine or your Linux
box?

I think you have to go pretty far back in PHP history (in 'net time)
to find that to be true...

Not 100% sure, mind you, but pretty sure.

If it's been running fine for a long time, and just started this, look
to an external cause, such as a recent Windows patch or..

Or, honestly, maybe it's time to just upgrade anyway...

It's even possible that you did an upgrade ages ago when you went to
4.3.11.11, but you didn't re-boot, and a recent re-boot has finally
kicked in your php 4.3.11.11 upgrade, long after you actually THOUGHT
you upgraded. :-v  Done that before...  Always double-check phpinfo()
output after you think you've upgraded.

A request has a Content-type header?...

I don't think it works like that...

Re: [PHP] Problems connecting to mysql

[Richard Lynch]

It's possible that PHP on the Linux box has a different mysql client
driver version than the FreeBSD box...

I would expect a more detailed error message in that base, but maybe
not...

Your command line in Linux could be using yet another different client
version.

Check output from these:

mysql -v

On both boxes in all combinations, and see if the version numbers all
match up.

I think you have to go pretty far back in PHP history (in 'net time)
to find that to be true...

Not 100% sure, mind you, but pretty sure.



I also think that the thing about memory limit is not true these days. I 
have been able to upload 3.28 gb file with memory limit specified as 128 MB. 
I also commened about it earlier but was referred to php manual. The manual 
says that yes, and I head read it myself but didn't increase the memonry and 
it still worked

[PHP] Intercepting fopen, mysql_connect, and similar functions for migration

[Kelly Jones]

I'm migrating a website from one server to another, and my file paths
and dbs have changed.

For example /a/b/c/foo.txt on the old machine is at /x/y/z/foo.txt on
the new machine. The MySQL db "foo" on the old machine is "bar" on the
new machine.

Can I intercept fopen() and mysql_connect() so that when PHP does
fopen("/a/b/c/foo.txt"), I magically (using Zend functions or method
overloading or anything else) convert it at runtime to
fopen("/x/y/z/foo.txt").

Same thing so that mysql_connect("foo") becomes mysql_connect("bar").

The code is badly written: doing a search/replace in the code wouldn't
really work. I really want to "hook" fopen()/mysql_connect() and
similar commands so I can tweak their args before they actually
execute. Is there any hope?

Sort of like an LD_PRELOAD for PHP?

Remove the @ next to the mail function, probably there's a warning 
somewhere. Additionally, are you sure that your mail server is actually 
working?

[PHP] Sending mail on OS X

[Christian Cantrell]

Hi, all.  I'm sure this question has been asked, but I was not able to
effectively search the forum archives, so I'm having to ask it again.

I'm trying to use the mail function to send email on OS X, but the email
gets rejected by the mail server I'm sending to.  I get messages in
mail.loglike this:

"The IP you're using to send email is not authorized to send email directly
to our servers."

I tried sending mail through another server using the SMTP and smtp_port
settings in my php.ini files, but the settings seem to be ignored (perhaps
they are Windows only?).  Can anyone tell me how I can successfully send
test emails on OS X?

Also, the From header does seem to be getting successfully set.  Is there
anything wrong with this code?

mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'php test', 'this is the message.\nthis is another
line.', 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'."\n\r");

Thanks,
Christian

This is a problem with the destination mail server rejecting mail from 
the machine you're sending it from. It has nothing to do with the 
contents of the email or with PHP. Your best bet is to email 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever the real domain you're sending to is) 
and ask them why your IP cannot send mail to their mail server.

Coming from a mail server admin point of view, this message to me would 
mean that the mail server is using a service like Postini or some other 
3rd party mail filtering system, and mail servers at bar.com are 
allowing mail to come from the relaying servers at the 3rd party mail 
filtering system.


Just a thought.
