[PHP] [PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP] PDO prepared statements and LIKE escaping

Sorry - switched address to the wrong list :(

How would those handle something like "a string that ends in 100%"?  


Personally this is one of the reasons that PDO has never attracted me.
Providing the tools to flatten some of the differences between *SQL*
variations is just as important as flattening the name differences in functions.

My own use of LIKE tends to process the string and then add the wrapping %%
when passing it to the param array, but do all databases HANDLE 'escaped %' in
the LIKE data? Firebird allows a escape character but you need to include it
in the SQL
LIKE '%100#%%' ESCAPE '#'
But I think MySQL actually uses \% to achieve the same thing -
and the ESCAPE '\' is then optional?

[PHP] An appeal to your better nature

[Richard Heyes]

Hi,

Seems my 1and1 server has finally gone kaput taking my website with
it, and in the tradition of all good IT professionals, I have no
backups. :( So this is an appeal to you to ask if you have downloaded
anything from phpguru.org at all, could you please send it to me so I
can try to rebuild my site.

A big thanks.

I can't see a timestamp field in your code, but I'm assuming you've got
one? 

SELECT *,SUM(timespent) FROM timetracking 
WHERE engineer= AND
month(timestamp)=month(date_sub(now(),interval 1 month))

[PHP] SOAP / Server Communication

[stuart tonner]

Hi,

At the moment I've taken over a group of individual systems that all do their 
job well enough independently, but all need to talk to one another. For 
example, one system handles stock levels, one system handles sales leads, 
another handles special offers, etc. etc.

A complete rewrite is in order but as a step towards that, I'd like each part 
to be able to communicate and keep the other systems aware of their own status. 
eg. the special offers system needs to know whether there is stock of a 
particular product.

Each system is running on a separate server and I need that level of separation 
to continue, what would be the best way of setting this up? I had used SOAP a 
while back on other projects but would this be the best solution in this case? 
Is there something better suited?

To give a rough estimate of the data, the special offers system will only hold 
roughly about 100 offers and be changed every month or so, the sales leads are 
only catching incoming website form enquiries (maybe about 50 a day) and the 
stock levels can change maybe once or twice a day but only normally by either a 
mass import or removing a sold product.

Thanks for any help / advice!

I'm sorry Richard, seems that my browser doesn't hold the history long

Forgive me to ask, but how come that you don't have much copies of your 
work? Do you work straight on your server?


I've got my editor (UltraEdit Studio) setup, that it makes a backup of 
the file I'm editing every 5 minutes with a timestamp and the full path. 
Besides that, we use SVN (wich is not that difficult to setup and manage).


So, if your server is your food (so to speak), you'd better take a look 
at the simple things that might rescue you some day. Nowadays there are 
little NAS devices with RAID-0 support (like My Books from Western 
Digital), that gives a good backup solution for a quick buck. Off 
course, you can always step up to better solutions and methods.


Doesn't your hosting provider has a backup facility? Maybe rent another 
webserver (could be virtual) and mirror it with rsync? I don't know. 
there must be something that suits your needs.


I wouldn't like to loose my stuff, but I can't afford much for the best 
solutions either. It's not that my job depends on it, but personal data

I do, via WinSCP (now). This normally would be fine, except I haven't
made any backups. Doh.

Yes, fortunately my PEAR stuff is all fine since it is in
(unsurprisingly) PEAR cvs.

I think from now on I'll be doing a million backups a day. Or,
alternatively, one.

I'd use a VCS like Subversion for websites, and just do a checkout on

[PHP] Fatal error: Cannot redeclare

[Kai Kauer]

Hi @all,

I was just installing the Moodle-Version 1.9.2 at our university. It was 
installed without any problems. But during testing and preparing for use I 
got this error message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare make_log_url() (previously declared 
in /global/WEB_DAT/documents/fme/institute/get/lehre/course/lib.php:25) 
in ./lib.php on line 54

This error is only shown in the course administration (e. g. adding or editing 
courses). Other function do not have any problems. I tried to find 
single "include" or "require", but didn't find any (there are 
always "inlcude_once" or "require_once" commands used). If I try to 
deactivate the function this error is shown again with the next function.

Does anyone know a solution? Or does anyone know where I can ask for a 
solution? I posted this also at the moodle-forum.

Thanks for help
greets 
Kai
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english.

This is usually a result of the same function include script being
included twice, and thus, the function being defined a second time.
Check ./lib.php on line 54 and see if it's including itself, or if -
for whatever reason - there's two entries in that file starting with
"function make_log_url(***)".

In hindsight, I'd rather have done the same.  All the car got me
was the ability to get back and forth from a job I didn't like, to
take out the girlfriend and spend the money I didn't have, to incur
more headaches that I didn't really need, and to get me that speeding
ticket that I didn't really want.

I don't see any way around it, nor do I see it as defeating the
purpose of prepared statements. I also don't see that this is any
special limitation of PDO when compared to any other database library.
How can any escaping mechanism know that in one case you are looking
for a literal percent sign and in another you are using a wildcard?
You have to provide it with hints, which is what the escape character
does.

Escaping a percent sign inside a string literal used as the pattern
for a LIKE comparison is not the same thing as escaping single quotes
within a string. Most of the time a percent sign in a pattern will be
a wildcard; matching a literal percent sign is usually the exception.
If you fail to escape a percent sign in your condition, the query will
still execute successfully. You may get more (but not less) results
than you desired or intended, but it will still work. However, if you
fail to escape literal delimiters like single quotes, your query will
not (usually) run at all. (And if it does run, it will likely produce
undesired results or side effects, which is the definition of SQL
injection.) As I see it, this is one of the purposes of prepared
statements.

Fortunately, I am quite familiar with your example. However, I am more

  anotherFunction ($args[0], $args[1], $args[2], $args[3], $args[4],

  // And continue counting up to a random number where I don't

Of course, even if I did hard-code this nastiness, anotherFunction()  
would still complain about whatever parameters were not used. So, args  
0 and 1 are filled, but 2-5 are not. "Warning! Warning! You can't have  
args 2 through 5, stoopud!"


Alas, I feel I must take a different approach to solve this problem.

$args[5]);

  // And continue counting up to a random number where I don't

Of course, even if I did hard-code this nastiness, anotherFunction() 
would still complain about whatever parameters were not used. So, args 0 
and 1 are filled, but 2-5 are not. "Warning! Warning! You can't have 
args 2 through 5, stoopud!"

Hi Phillip

Why not use a foreach()?



That way you can send as many arguments as you please, without any ugly 
hardcoding...

But isn't that *exactly* what func_get_args() allows you to do:

1. send any number of arguments to your own function - check!
2. grab each one of those individually - check!
3. send them each to  - check!

Not to stick a finger in Richard's bleeding wound... but a 1TB
hard-drive is less than $200 CAD. And you can get 6GB of Google mail for
free if you're really feeling the pinch. 8GB USB thumb drives are around
$30 CAD, and DVD blanks are like 25 cents a piece. I don't see the cost
issue.

Regardless of any backup solution... my stuff is usually in 3 different
places:

- my locale dev machine
- CVS repository on my other machine
- live deployment

Now the database is a different matter. But Richard has mentioned he's
missing CSS files. Even without a distinct CVS machine, his stuff could
have been in 2 different places.

OMG! Richard, so sorry to hear this. I have been like that, not having a
backup at all. Now I have done my masterpiece about a year ago, and have it
on backup on DVD at 4 different locations as well as 3 webservers, 1 USB
stick and, as Rob pointed out, in my Gmail account.

I know it's hard and can cost you quite a sum if you don't have backups at
all (thank God my customers always sign a contract where it says that data
backup is their responsibility, not mine). Once, it cost me 7.000 Euros :o(

Sorry to say that I have never downloaded from your site, just wanted to
give you a little pad on the shoulder. Sometimes it's not too bad to start
from sratch (by god, i have done it many times until I learned about data
backup *lol*)

Cheers mate! Don't worry, things could be worse!

[PHP] Date formatting issue

[Don Don]

Hi all,

I've got dates in the following formats e.g.

August 05, 2008, 10:14 am (e.g. today's date)
August 04, 2008, 7:08 am (e.g. yesterda's date)
August 03, 2008, 9:08 am (e.g. in the past)

I am trying to format these dates do I can display them like this

Today at 10:14 am (today)
Yesterday at 9:08 am (yesterday)
August 03, 9:08 am (if its not today or yesterday then display the month and 
day and time only)

Can anyone help with tips on how to achieve this ?

Cheers

Check out date() and mktime() -- http://www.php.net/date
http://www.php.net/mktime

Both of those should get you in the direction of formating dates.

[PHP] Echo in __GET()

Is the a way to have an array, or use __get() to provide different data 
if you are echoing a variable, rather than if you are using it in a 'if'

If $month equals date("m") and $year equals date("Y") and $day
equals date("d") - 1 then it's yesterday.

If $month equals date("m") and $year equals date("Y") and $day
equals date("d") then it's today.

If $month equals date("m") and $year equals date("Y") and $day
equals date("d") + 1 then it's tomorrow.

Otherwise, echo date("F d, g:i a");


As Dan Joseph mentioned, read up on date()[1] and mktime()[2], and
I'd also recommend strtotime()[3].  Moreover, take the logic above and
code your PHP to match it. A simple if/elseif/else or case/switch
block will do it for you.



1:  http://php.net/date
2:  http://php.net/mktime
3:  http://php.net/strtotime

1.  To get last months date, you can use strtotime("1 month ago")
instead of mktime.
2.  I don't see anywhere in the code where you are limiting by date.
Try using > and <.  Between is tricky on dates.

  You can predefine function parameters:

Hi Phillip

Why not use a foreach()?




This isn't exactly what I'm wanting to achieve. I don't want to send  
each parameter individually, I want to send them all at the same time.  
It's *almost* like I want to create a string of parameters that I can  
send..




But, of course, this won't work because now 'sendThis' is a single  
string - not what I want. Thanks for the thoughts anyhow. =/


~Philip


That way you can send as many arguments as you please, without any  
ugly hardcoding...

Sounds like you want the standard varargs behaviour from C ? Where you
can "gather up" a list of arguments as a va_list and pass that as an
argument to vfprintf() et al.

[PHP] Newbie problem: Php script not running in browser.

[V S Rawat]

I have put the first php script to hello.php file:


  
   PHP Test
  
  
  Hello World'; ?>
  


I am on xpsp3, wampserver 2.0, having apache 2.2.8, php 5.2.6, MySQL 5.0.51b

http://localhost/ is E:\wamp\www

I put the hello.php file to E:\wamp\www. drag/dropping it to browser
shows the above source code in ff3/ie6

putting it to E:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\htdocs and drag/dropping it
to browser shows the same source code.

However, putting it to E:\wamp\www\php_ex but giving
http://localhost/hello.php shows a blank screen

I have forgotten some situation where it had appeared as

Hello World

'; ?>

on the browser.

E:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\conf\httpd.conf file has the lines:
LoadModule php5_module "e:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.6/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

On double clicking the php file in windows explorer, it opens in notepad
for edit, instead of getting opened in firefox that is my default.

Please give me the starting push.

If you simply drag-and-drop the file from an explorer window into
Firefox, Firefox will display the page directly from the file system
instead of serving it through your web server. (You can tell this
because your address bar will say file:///E:/wamp/www/hello.php.) Your
browser won't parse the PHP as script; it will just think it is
malformed HTML and it would show the output you listed above.
Double-clicking the file, or dragging it into IE will try to open the
file with whatever program is associated with that extension in
Windows. (If there isn't a file association for *.php files, it will
either prompt you for a program to handle the file or it might do the
same as Firefox. I'm not sure, and I'm not really interested in
changing my file associations to test.)

IF the file is located at E:\wamp\www\hello.php AND PHP is configured
correctly AND your web server's document root is E:\wamp\www\, THEN
opening http://localhost/hello.php should work.

Ok, is it possible to send any number of variables to db->bind() in

Or, if someone else has a better db abstraction method, feel free to 
educate...

  // Combined your argument string and function call

}

myFunction (1, 5, 'Hi');

// This will result in calling anotherFunction as such
anotherFunction ('1, 5, Hi');

anotherFunction (1, 5, 'Hi');

If this isn't what you are looking for, please explain a little more!

Problems I see with the above:

* good IT professionals use version control AND take backups
* good IT professionals work on dev servers and migrate to test, prod
* good IT professionals don't tend to claim "guru" status themselves :)

Having said that, I'm about to commit yesterday's changes to Subversion
and run another backup whilst touching wood!

Checking Google's cache should give you an idea of what you had up
there, and the rebuild is always better than the original anyway...

Errata for those of you reading this in the archives, newsgroups,

I'm sure Jim meant to say, "It could be a sleeping snake" above.
So don't worry about him trying to get 1337 with his h4x0r skillz by

Don't lump the developers into the bin for the sys-admins.  When I took
my current position over 2 years ago I started pushing for upgrading to
PHP5...and it's just barely getting done now.

Addendum:

* Good IT professionals don't usually criticize one another in a
public forum in the above manner, if nothing else than out of
professional courtesy.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you entirely:

You can pretty much do anything you want with that.
