[PHP] #2003 - The server is not responding
I uninstalled my old versions of apache, mysql and php then installed wamp on my computer. everything seems to be working when i access localhost, except when i go to phpmyadmin. I get this error on screen "MySQL said: #2003 - The server is not responding"... so i updated the config.php file but still i get the same error. does this have to do with the old password or username that i used before with my old mysql? or is it something else entirely? some help would really be appreciated -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] rewrite hyperlink tags with a regular expression containing forbidden words
Hi, i'm french, i'm using regular expressions in php in order to rewrite hyperlink tags in a specific way before apache output is beeing sent to client. Purpose is to replace href attribute of any A html tag by a javascript function calling an ajax loader. Currently I have wrote that: $pattern = '/(.*?)<\\/a>/i'; $replacement = '$5'; $html_mark = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $html_mark); it works, but it's too permissive, it replaces too much links (some links with some get parameters must stay unchanged) I don't really understand my pattern...it's a little strange for me...lol I wouldn't like to rewrite links that contains any of the following words in get parameters (query string): noLoader noLeftCol skipallbutpage skipservice i would like to rewrite only link that begin with 'http://dev.netdoor.fr' or '.' examples: http://dev.netdoor.fr/index.php?page=./comptes/index.php&noLoader&noLeftCol&idx=6&bdx=423&skipservice";>test =>must be not rewritted! name =>must be rewritted like this : name Please help me...:0) best regards nicolas
[PHP] Dynamic refresh dropdown list
I have a selection form with multiple dropdown lists, let's say A, B and C.
If the dropdown list B is changed, then dropdown list C should be updated.
To get this done, I use a small javascript
function reload(form)
{ var val=form.B.options[form.B.options.selectedIndex].value;

}

This works fine, BUT all other dropdown lists are also reset.
So if I select another A, then another B, then also A is reset to its prior
value.
Any idea how I can refresh a specific dropdown,
without affecting all the other dropdowns ?

[PHP] magic quotes
Hi all,
I've been having a problem with a setting on a test server and
production server. My test server has magic_quotes_gpc off, but the
production server has it turned on. I've no access to the php.ini for
the production server and don't want to change the setting on my test
server.
Searching on the internet, I found some ways to deal with this kind of thing:
use a .htaccess file to turn magic_quotes off by saving a text file
with the line:
magic_quotes_gpc off
Or making a function to strip slashes like this:
if (magic_quote_gpc()) {
stripslashes_array($_GET);
stripslashes_array($_POST);
stripslashes_array($_REQUEST);
stripslashes_array($_COOKIE);
}
What do people on this list usually do with this kind of problem. To
me, the .htaccess seems the easiest solution, since I don't have to
change any scripts.
cheers
Phil P.

However, if you end up doing it at runtime, then it's best to use Environment/magic_quotes_gpc_off.php in PHP_Compat. magic_quotes_gpc has been very inconsistent between PHP versions so a generic stripslashes_array() function is unwise.

Nate, check your EGPCS settings (variables_order) to make sure you
have a P in there.
If that doesn't work, there's another configuration or scripting
error somewhere, because I assure you, the $_POST superglobal works
just fine in every version of PHP since 4.1.0.
Also, you can try doing a dump of $GLOBALS. This way will show
them cleanly, but won't print_r() the arrays, of course:
$v) {
echo "".$p.": ".$v."\n";
}
?>

On one of our test boxen, we recently upgraded to PHP-5.2.3 and all of a sudden started getting Internal Server Errors.

Cor,
That's a JavaScript issue, not a PHP issue, so it should really go
to the proper list. However, at first glance, I'd say that you should
call your specific element because, as you have it right now, you're
resetting the whole form, which is causing all fields within said form
to be reset in tandem.

Re: [PHP] magic quotes
Phil Princely wrote:
thanks for all the help.
My code was wrong in the first post, I just copied it straight from
the web. This one works:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
stripslashes_array($_GET);
stripslashes_array($_POST);
stripslashes_array($_REQUEST);
stripslashes_array($_COOKIE);
}
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
set_magic_quotes_runtime() has no effect on magic_quotes_gpc.
function stripslashes_array(&$arr) {
foreach (array_keys($arr) as $k) {
$arr[$k] = stripslashes($arr[$k]);
}
}
This function breaks arrays, ignores keys, and takes into account none
of PHP's inconsistencies with magic_quotes_gpc.
As I said before, if you need to do it at runtime, use the PHP_Compat code.
Here's the two relevant files, if you can't use the PEAR installer:
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/PHP_Compat/Compat/Environment/_magic_quotes_inputs.php?revision=1.3&view=markup
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/PHP_Compat/Compat/Environment/magic_quotes_gpc_off.php?revision=1.7&view=markup
I tried searching for setini, but came up with nothing, except this:
setIni('magic_quotes_gpc', 'Off', $inifile); // didn't work: unknown
function
ini_set() is probably what you're thinking of, but magic_quotes_gpc is
applied before your script is executed so it will have no effect.
That's why the only option at runtime is to reverse it.

M. Sokolewicz wrote: Good day, I've been struggling with this problem for quite a while now, I've looked on google, but to no avail, documentation doesn't help me out either. Now, I know this isn't a pure php problem as such, but rather a problem in the cooperation of apache2.2, php and fastcgi. So, here's what I have I compiled php with --enable-fastcgi by itself, php works fine. I've installed mod_fastcgi and apache 2.2.4, which work fine aswell (well, apache does, mod_fastcgi is hard to tell :)). I've got the following in my httpd.conf: ScriptAlias /fcgi-sys/ /usr/local/apache2/fcgi-sys/ Options ExecCGI SetHandler fastcgi-script Action application/x-httpd-php5-2-3 "/fcgi-sys/php-cgi" AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5-2-3 .php5 So, I start up apache (apachectl -k start), it doesn't show any errors or anything. Opening my browser and going to localhost shows the html page I expected to see. So that works. I've made a file phpinfo.php5 with the contents Now, when I point my browser there, I recieve a 403 Forbidden error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /fcgi-sys/php-cgi/phpinfo.php5 on this server. Thinking this is probably some permissions issue, I've temporarily chmodded the php-cgi binary and the php script to 777. After doing that: nothing changed, still the same error. Ok, so I checked apache's error_log, and saw: [Mon Jul 16 20:09:33 2007] [error] [client 192.168.2.100] client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/apache2/fcgi-sys/php-cgi [Mon Jul 16 20:10:36 2007] [error] [client 192.168.2.100] client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/apache2/fcgi-sys/php-cgi [Mon Jul 16 20:15:04 2007] [error] [client 192.168.2.100] client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/apache2/fcgi-sys/php-cgi ok, that's weird... Well, I decided to google this, and the few pages that talked about this (or something close to this) all stated that it was due to apache being closed down pretty much by default, and they recommended easing the restrictions a bit by adding a .htaccess file in the webroot with: AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Allow from all I did that, no help. I even added a Options +ExecCGI just in case, but that did not help either. However, if I (from the commandline) skip apache and simply issue a: /usr/local/apache2/fcgi-sys/php-cgi /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/phpinfo.php5 > phpinfo.html it will run just fine, showing the exact output I expect, and the phpinfo.html file is visible via the browser just fine aswell. So, I'm guessing this is an issue in apache-configuration or fastcgi-configuration, but I'll be damned if I know what to do now... any pointed would be welcome. cheers, - Tul So, I'm guessing that although fastCGI is one of the recommended ways to go (it's been named a lot on internals lately), there's little (understandable) documentation about setting it up (in combination with php) around, nor really many people who would have a clue as to what might be wrong here?

Re: [PHP] Sessions Lose Form Field Data When Back Button Used?
From: Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That has to be your code re-setting the session variables or something. PHP won't do this automatically for you. Well I suppose it's "or something". Try this code. Name it test.php: Test Field1: Field2: A) With session_start commented out as above: A1. Go to the test.php page in your browser (using the GET method) by typing in the URL. A2. Enter something in Field1. (Do not enter anything in Field2.) A3. Press Submit. Next to Field2 should have text, "*Required". A4. Press your Back button in your browser. Field1 retains its contents. B) With session_start uncommented so as to be called (Edit test.php to now call session_start): B1. Follow steps A1 to A4 above. Field1 has lost its contents! Where did my code reset a session variable? C) If I add many line break br tags immediately before the submit input tag, so that you are required to scroll down to see the Submit button, after step A4 you will notice that the page reloads when using sessions, but seems to be cached by the browser when not using sessions. If this is the case, can I instruct PHP to let the browser use its cache while still using PHP sessions (i.e. session_start)? This behavior occurs in (standard?) FF 2.0.0.4, and IE 7. It did not occur on an obscure FF which also reports version 2.0.0.4, named "FrontMotion Firefox Community Edition".

Re: [PHP] Upload Tracker.
i use a program called upload progress meter, it can be downloaded here: http://pdoru.from.ro/upload-progress-meter/ I just wrote an ajax function to return the % of the download, and filled a div on each upload. It depends on how often you poll for the %, but most likely it won't be a smooth transition from 0-100% it will jump, 0, 12, 28, 38, 52, 71, 88, 92, 100, or something similar. you will have to phpize the function and install it as a dynamic module, but it works for me. hope this helps.

RE: [PHP] double output from trigger_error from command line
if i do a trigger_error() when running php scripts from the command line, each error is echoed twice. this is annoying. does anyone know how to make each error display only once? c:\>php -r "trigger_error(\"hello\");" PHP Notice: hello in Command line code on line 1 Notice: hello in Command line code on line 1 My error_reporting level was at 2039 and I did not see the double messages.

You seem to want linked select inputs. Take a look at this forms class.
It comes with a plug-in that does exactly what you want. It links select
inputs, so when the value of one input changes, the following input
switches the group of options without reloading the page. Here is a live
example that you can see in action:
http://www.meta-language.net/forms-examples.html?example=test_linked_select
There is are even variants of this plug-in that can retrieve a dynamic
set of options from a database. There are variants for MySQL or any
other database using Metabase or PEAR::MDB2 database abstraction API.
You can also watch a tutorial video here:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/video/1/package/1/section/plugin-linked-select.html
You can download the forms class from here:

There is an extension named uploadprogress that requires PHP 5.2 but it can run with PHP 4.3 and 4.4 using special patches. To make it useful you can try a plug-in of this forms class that can display a progress bar while the form with files is being uploaded.

All kinds of stuff, and to keep your site a) readable and b) safe. For example, some people occasionally find a need to write an o with an umlaut over it. And sometimes they might type that right into a database form of some kind. And if that's being output, it needs to be converted to an HTML entity so it will actually show up as an o with an umlaut, instead of, say, capital A with a tilda followed by a paragraph symbol. Now, in some cases, if you are using UTF-8 (or UTF-16) and if the browser is supporting that, and if you've got the right headers and META tags, most modern browsers will do the right thing... Or not, in the case of the reply window I'm typing into right now, which has turned your name into: Nisse Engström instead of: Nisse Engström Of course, it may get re-converted to who knows what before you see it, but I'm not seeing the right thing...

Otherwise, it's a Javascript/Ajax feature, with PHP being relegated to not doing much of anything about the progress meter. Why the BROWSER doesn't provide this feature everybody wants is beyond my ken... Surely the browser has some clue how many bytes are uploaded and how big the file was. How tricky could it be for Firefox/IE to poke those values into a couple variables somewhere? Instead we have a zillion JS hacks by developers generating tons of traffic back-n-forth to the server to ask it how many bytes it has received so far... -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

RE: [PHP] magic quotes
E. One thing you CAN do is to put something not unlike this: Your dev server will be slightly "slower" when it attempts to find the include files in a path that does not exist. Your production server will find the files where they belong and bail out before it tries to find a C drive that has no meaning. Crude, but effective.

There are barriers to access you can implement to varying degrees of success, but if my browser can show the image to me, then I've got the image, and what I do with it after that point is beyond your control. Most of the barriers you can implement are crude hacks that will annoy legitimate users more than they are worth. If you want to have the hi-res image unavailable, but the thumbnail is freely available, you pretty much just put the hi-res outside the webtree and authenticate any way you like...

Some browsers will reset to blank, others will "remember" what you typed last time.

It's still browser-dependent, really, but now your browser isn't doing what YOU want for your form-filling-in-experience... There's still nothing you can do about it from PHP, unless you want to make the user who LIKES it that way have a miserable experience, since you force their browser to not behave they way they expect it. > I even modified my code to check for isset($_SESSION) to not call > session_start again, but no joy. You have to call session_start() on every request to have sessions working in that request... I doubt that you want to skip that for any page involved in your FORM processing...

Is this possible? Not really... I mean, you could send them an email with an HTML "enhanced" (cough, cough) body that has a "click here" and a plain text link that goes somewhere else, and if they click on one or the other, you know if their current email reader, which might not be their usual mail reader, does or doesn't do HTML enhanced (cough, cough) email... You really should ask them when they subscribe, so they can CHOOSE if they want plain text or that bloated blight upon the land known as HTML enhanced email.

PHP is more Unix-like in quickly spitting out an answer, rather than MS-like in having some monolithic "answer" object hanging around forever. This has pros and cons, of course. Focusing on the "pros" and the "shared nothing architecture" the point is that to "scale up" you don't have to do anything but throw more servers in the web-farm. There is not single point of failure big-iron-required box that needs to grow with web traffic to hold the one big "answer" that gets bogged down under load. > 2.

(I know that this probably > doesn't have a definative answer) It really depends on where/how you store session data, but I suspect that doing "new x()" is way cheaper than creating sessions if you aren't already using them. If you already HAVE session data, and you are just tossing one more item into the $_SESSION array, the extra bytes is probably not all that significant. Only a test on your hardware under load will tell you for sure, of course. > Anyway my feeling is it probably shouldn't go in the session as its > not a client object. What's a client object? Don't tell me. Think about it and draw your own conclusions. :-) PS Yes, one can store sessions in memcached. Another nifty trick is to encrypt your session data, and if it's less than 4K, just make it be the value of a cookie. This cookie value will "travel" with the user even in a distributed server app. You then only need to read/write memcached for "large" session data. Some more info here: http://hostedlabs.com/ PPS Do give the PHP way a fair shot, and do some real-world testing before drawing any conclusions wrt the Java way.

So far, you've identified that "include" no longer "works" Can you describe in what way it no longer works, and provide any error messages?

Unless he wants filectime, for when the file was created, even if it's
been modified in the past week...
"older" could mean that, in some contexts...
I think finding all the .txt.asc files would best be handled by
http://php.net/glob unless your PHP version is too old and you need to
http://php.net/opendir and http://php.net/readdir to look at each file
in turn...

Other portions of a web application will too easily be "confused" by what you've modified as the application grows.

I'm suggesting that the constant barrage of emails they generate make them de facto spammers for some recipients at some email addresses, and offered one such example.

Perhaps your day job should stop paying you, because after you've spent that time, you'll never get it back? I choose to spend my time developing an intellectual product because current laws provide me some reassurance of ROI, just as you choose to work for your employer because current laws provide you some assurance of a paycheck showing up. If you think the laws are wrong, get the laws changed. But stealling (or whatever you want to call it in semantic name games) is ILLEGAL, and a violation of the author's reasonable expectations, and, imho, that alone makes it "wrong" until you can get the law changed. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

Re: [PHP] Sessions Lose Form Field Data When Back Button Used?
From: Chris Shiflett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is a characteristic of the caching headers that session_start() sends. Although not directly related to your question, I think the following article articulates this in sufficient detail: http://shiflett.org/articles/how-to-avoid-page-has-expired-warnings Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/ As soon as you said caching headers, it all made sense. Would adjusting session_cache_limiter before calling session_start maintain the old behavior (until we redesign the application to save the user's form field data)? Good stuff at your link. Thanks.
