Using personal problems to justify things is not going to cut any ice with 
the crowd that persists in top posting, eg TG has already cited his 
personal problems - the use of crappy mail clients, and "him knowing what 
you were talking about without having to read the question.. because he 
knew what was being discussed in this thread". If they're not going to 
listen to common sense and best practices then they're sure not going to 
care about others personal problems. This is the cue for Robert Cummmings 
to jump and proclaim that people are sheep for following best practices.

This is a mailing list, not email. What you do in your personal email is 
your own business. But when using a mailing list, following best 
practices makes things easier for everybody.

Hi Jochem,

in your post I see:
Last-Modified: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 19:20:30 GMT

and:

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 11924 Jun 22 21:20 foo.jpg

Those two look like they're 2 hours off from eachother! Perhaps Apache 
does some magic on the unix timestamp first?


Just a thought there.

hey Jochem,
as far as I can see, this should work for you:



this is what I thought - actually I originally used dechex() - which gave the
same output as sprintf("%x", ...) ... which is not surprising.

sidenote: I'm actually only using the modification time in the etag right now.
I figure this keeps it a little faster - there is next to no chance to
that the filemtime will change and the file will be the same and using the inode
info is silly because moving the files locally (for whatever reason) shouldn't 
affect
whether a 304 can be given (imho). the fact that this may result in many files 
with
identical Etags maybe incorrect but I don't see the problem as the URL (and 
therefore
the local file) is going to be different.

BIG BUT: apache is not generating the same hexadecimal value for the filemtime 
of a
given file as I get from the various attempts with php

for a given file I get:

apache Etag : 8e6bbb80
mtime via stat(): 1182540030
mtime via filemtime()   : 1182540030
sprintf("%x") Etag: 467c20fe
dechex() Etag   : 467c20fe

the http headers for the URL of the file in question are:

Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 23:00:13 GMT
Server: Apache
Last-Modified: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 19:20:30 GMT
Etag: "8e6bbb80"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 11924
Content-Type: image/jpeg
X-lori-time-2: 1182553213537

an 'ls -l' on the file in question gives (name of file changed to protect the 
innocent):

-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 11924 Jun 22 21:20 foo.jpg

I swear it's the same file but apache is generating the hexadecimal 
representation of the
filemtime differently than a 'straight' dec2hex conversion (ala dechex() and 
sprintf())

doing a hexdec() on the apache generated Etag shows that this is not a question
of mtimes being slightly off (for some reason):

hexdec("8e6bbb80") = 2389425024

I'm stumped, the comments for etag_ulong_to_hex() in the apache source even 
states:

"Generate the human-readable hex representation of an unsigned long
 (basically a faster version of 'sprintf("%lx")')"

I'm rather wary of the 'basically' it smells fishy to me ... rather like saying 
I'm basically
a women - sure there is a resemblance, but bit of investigation will show 
plenty of differences.

I have been checking with static image files (ones that go no where near a 
resampling script)
and the same problem occurs.




my desk is covered in hair :-/

PS - completely offtrack but what's "X-lori-time-2" - I've noticed since not 
long ago,
I have no idea what it is or what purpose it serves, and seemingly nor do the 
search engines.


Assuming your apache is configured to use the inode, modification time
and filesize in its etag.

The function you attached simply converts integers of type long to
hexadecimal strings. It is not the actual function creating the etag
itself.





I'd like to be able to generate an Etag header in php that matches
what Apache generates, I ended up in the apache source code here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/modules/http/http_protocol.c?view=markup







static char *etag_ulong_to_hex(char *next, unsigned long u)
{
int printing = 0;
int shift = sizeof(unsigned long) * 8 - 4;
do {
unsigned long next_digit = ((u >> shift) & (unsigned long)0xf);
if (next_digit) {
*next++ = HEX_DIGITS[next_digit];
printing = 1;
}
else if (printing) {
*next++ = HEX_DIGITS[next_digit];
}
shift -= 4;
} while (shift);
*next++ = HEX_DIGITS[u & (unsigned long)0xf];
return next;
}

1. check your error log (apache error log probably)
2. check phpinfo() for what your memory limit is
3. how many 'lines' are output before the script dies?

it seems very much like your hitting the set memory limit.
have you tried running the script from the cmdline? (cmdline php does
have a memory limit set by default)

at the *very* least your going to use 4 Megs for the data (2M for the
and 2M for the data your sticking in the $mday (etc) arrays - thats on top
of the base memory overhead and overhead for the underlying variable structures
themselves.

ack.

for dynamically, resampled images:
I only do this on the initial request - php generates the image 
after that apache+mod_rewrite spit them out.

I've happily used 'tail -f access.log' and the webdeveloper toolbar and firebug
upto now. but I'll look into Fiddler.

I need mod_rewrite.

this is a tough one - I don't know most of the apache modules, find out
which ones I'm actually using is a time consuming task.

pretty much everything I run is handmade. the page scripts on the server/sites
in question are outputting at 50-250ms - so that pretty good - it's the tons of
images and other stuff (e.g. google maps api js) that's killing the page load 
time.

I use the latest version of APC (thanks to Greg Beaver for the help on setting
up a 'custom' PEAR install) with 'stat check' turned off.

still leaves me with the Etag weirdness.

/home/. is the path on your filesystem, not the path you should
use in your URL.
The code you used on your IIS testing server should work fine.

Hmm, try full URL to the images, like this:
echo " ";

Also, make sure that you can see the photos when going to
http://www.mydomain.com/something/img/the_name_of_a_photo.ext

Are you sure the photo is actually there? What happens if you copy the

you the photo?
And if you refresh, are the same photos missing each time? or is it
different each refresh?

Yes the photos are there.If I copy the url to my browser I can see them and
when I refresh the same photos are missing!



Well, seems like a client side problem.. Try different browser, cleaning cache,

Well, this has nothing to do with your PHP code, if you still need
help with this, contact me offlist with the URL of your site.

So, when you go to the page with this code, you see one of more [X]
right? What do you see when you right click on one of them and click
properties?
Do you see the url to the image? or are there some kind of weird
tokens in the URL?

Yes, I know that you're images are at the correct place and that they
are viewable from outside.

I noticed it too - I tested Etag generation with filemtime - 2 hours and
that didn't give me anything near the result apache is generating (neither
did '+ 2 hours' btw :-).

additionally I checked with the values for FileSize and Inode and php is giving
identical values for those.

the filemtime differences must be due simply to timezone differences -
if I run the value of the Last-Modified header for any given image file through
strtotime() (on the server in question) I get the exact same integer as I do 
when
I run filemtime() on the image file in question.

what the frak is apache using for the file modification time?

Are you sure the photo is actually there? What happens if you copy the
URL of one of the [X] and place it in your browser? Does it display
you the photo?
And if you refresh, are the same photos missing each time? or is it
different each refresh?

Yes the photos are there.If I copy the url to my browser I can see them and
when I refresh the same photos are missing!

Re: [PHP] foreach() using current() strange beahvior

[Nathan Nobbe]

Julien,

i reproduced your experiment and got a different result on the first one.  i
found that the internal pointer does not seem to be affected if there is a
check on the index of the internal pointer during iteration, but if there is
no check on the index during iteration the
pointer seems to get incremented.  needless to say this is rather strange. *
*also *turadg at berkeley dot edu* describes his experience w/ this issue on
the foreach 
documentationin
the user comments section.  he found that by aliasing the original
array
variable the behavior described in the documentation is realized.
i have summarized these findings in the following code segment, which you
can run yourself as well for corroboration

 $v) {
if(current($a) != false) {
echo current($a) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
var_dump(current($a));
}
}
/// check the internal pointer after iteration is complete (should be
pointing at last index)
if(current($a) != false) { // strangely this is still the first index of the
array
echo current($a) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
var_dump(current($a));
}

echo 'experiment 1b.' . PHP_EOL;
/// another run through the array where there is no check on the value of
the internal pointer during each iteration
foreach($a as $k => $v) {}
/// check the internal pointer after iteration this time
if(current($a) != false) { // and now the pointer is the last index of the
array (as expected)
echo current($a) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
var_dump(current($a));
}

echo 'experiment 2a.' . PHP_EOL;
 ALIAS THE ORIGINAL ARRAY VARIABLE
$a2 =& $a; // create an alias of $a for further experimentation
foreach($a as $k => $v) { // first experiment
if(current($a) != false) { // now the internal index is being incremented
echo current($a) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
var_dump(current($a));
}
}

if(current($a) != false) { // and here the internal pointer is the last
index
echo current($a) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
var_dump(current($a));
}

echo 'experiment 2b.' . PHP_EOL;
/// second experiment (no checking of the index during iteration)
foreach($a as $k => $v) {}
if(current($a) != false) { // and the internal pointer is the last index
echo current($a) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
var_dump(current($a));
}
?>

/// this is the output on my machine
experiment 1a.
one
one
one
one
experiment 1b.
bool(false)
experiment 2a.
two
three
bool(false)
bool(false)
experiment 2b.
bool(false)

in summary, COW or not; i think the documentation could be revised a bit to
clarify these subtleties.

The answers lies in the following although it's not terribly clear why
the behaviour is as it is:


Note: Unless the array is referenced, foreach operates on a copy of the
specified array and not the array itself. Therefore, the array pointer
is not modified as with the each() construct, and changes to the array
element returned are not reflected in the original array. However, the
internal pointer of the original array is advanced with the processing
of the array. Assuming the foreach loop runs to completion, the array's
internal pointer will be at the end of the array.


If you understand how PHP copies values then it makes sense. Let me
explain... When the foreach loop is entered $a is copied for use by the
foreach itrator; however, a copy in PHP is a lazy copy. This means that
the the copy is still referencing the original value, and this is why
the internal pointer is still advanced.

Now what probably happens is that when the current() function is used on
$a something internally tells the PHP engine that a modification has
occurred, as such the COW (copy on write) policy comes into effect. This
essentially differentiates a copy since a change is occurring such that
there is now a real and distinct copy. So internally $a had the internal
pointer reset on entry to the foreach loop, current() somehow invokes
the COW policy causing a real copy to be generated, and then the foreach
continues merrily forward with the real copy leaving current() to work
with the original copy. Hope that make sense to you :)

For what it's worth, COW is why if you have a variable consuming 100
megabytes stored in $x and you assign it to $y that you don't end up
consuming 200 megs of memory. Now if $x is a string and you change
append one character to $y, you should find that now you are consuming
200 megs of memory since a real copy is generated when the change is
incurred. This is an optimization strategy.

Cheers,
Rob.

Regardless of additional documentation or not, I think it's rather poor
choice of programming style to mix the foreach construct with the older,
lower level, internal array manipulation and probing functions. I think
that is what should be documented since you just might get weird
results :)

i agree; at least i have never had a need to determine the current index of
the internal array pointer in nearly 3 years working w/ php.
although it is somewhat interesting to experiment w/ the language to see how
it behaves :)

[PHP] Convert Date time into Seconds

[kvigor]

Good Day,

I'm chech if 24hrs has passed between these 2 datetimes:

$dTime1 = 2007-06-21 11:08:09;

$dTime2 = 2007-06-22 07:08:09;

I'd really like to convert the datetimes above into a format I can do 
regular math them.

Browsing around I've found the following code.  But both weren't clear on 
what to pass to them.  Because when I pass a datetime var to them and echo 
the value I get no output please help.
==
function datetime_to_epoch($date)
{
  $break = explode(" ", $date);
  $datebreak = explode("-", $break[0]);
  $time = explode(":", $break[1]);
  $epoch = date("U", 
mktime($time[0],$time[1],$time[2],$datebreak[1],$datebreak[2],$datebreak[0]));
  $datetime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 
mktime($time[0],$time[1],$time[2],$datebreak[1],$datebreak[2],$datebreak[0]));
}
?>
===
function convert_datetime($varStamp) {

list($date, $time) = explode(' ', $str);
list($year, $month, $day) = explode('-', $date);
list($hour, $minute, $second) = explode(':', $time);

$timestamp = mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year);

return $timestamp;
}

//If anyone could elaborate, would be appreciated.

$foo contains a unix timestamp (the time in seconds since the Epoch).

[PHP] Hi. I need your help here

[J S]

Hi. I came across your contact info at php.zend.com and was hoping you could 
help me out with this question.
  I recently installed Rubberwall10, a free software that protects from 
hotlinking and although I managed to installed the software correctly at my 
site, I came across the fact that when I tried to download an image from the 
site to my computer, the image came out with 0 kbs.
   
  Someone who also installed the software made a comment on the internet 
stating he solved the problem adding a trim function to three of the variables 
in the filescrapper.php file. 
   
  My question to you is, how can I do that. I am not familiar with php, 
although I have understood some minimal basics. Adding trim function to $ct, 
$webaddress and $wantedfilename seemed to have solved the problem according to 
the user who solved the problem but did not specify how he did it. Can you tell 
me how I can add trim function to the above three variables?. Your help is 
greatly appreciated. The code is below. Thanks. John

[PHP] Setting Different Temp Directory for Different Application Users

[zareef]

Hi All,


I want to set different temp directory to every users of my  
application. Is it possible. TEMP_DIR is only configurable at system  
level, so I can do it only in PHP.INI or in apache as PHP_VALUE.


Any Idea how this can be achieved using combination of things?

Thanks in Advance.
