Who was pointing fingers? I pointed out that hacking the live site with no version control and no backups wasn't being a good IT professional, and then I suggested where to find some of the missing files (Google cache). I also pointed out that I had changes outstanding and not backed up too, i.e. I'm hardly claiming to be the good IT professional either.

Using CVS is well worth the extra 5 minutes I spend at the beginning of a project setting up the repository. When I take over some project that didn't use CVS, the first thing I do is put it in CVS. Usually I find crap like foo.php.bak, foo.php.better.bak, foo.php.good, foo.php.broken littered all over the source tree. Some idiot obviously made them because they didn't use a versioning system. The really sad part is, all these files are usually right there in the production tree. As far as backups go, CVS is on another machine, production and staging are sometimes on the same machine, sometimes on their own machines. Either way, the source exists in 3 physical locations... cvs, dev, staging. And I run nightly backups of CVS.

[PHP] Version Control Software
After reading a topic on the list here about someone losing their website, and having a minor mistake on my own that cost me a week's work on a file (basically, tested the file, then uploaded to the live site and took the daily backup off the live site.. only to find the file was messed up.. and had to go to the weekly backup off cd to recover it, losing a week of work).. I'm wondering if anybody knows of a version control software program that may fit my needs. Basically, I'm looking for something that runs locally, not on the live site, that I can edit the files on the dev computer, and store old versions on the dev computer, and then just publish off of the local onto the live site whenever I need to. Anybody have any suggestons/ideas on how this should be done, and what program is a good fit? Thanks for any help, Ben
[PHP] [scalability, performance, DoS] To or not to process images at runtime
Hello, My next project will be a kind of online photo viewer. All of these photos will need to have watermark applied to them. The problem is that, depending on the picture, different watermarks need to be applied. The easiest solution would be to process these picture at runtime using GD, apply the watermark(s) and serve them. The other approach, would be to pre-process them (maybe using GD) and create different copies on the disk, the obvious advantage being that it could be served directly via the webserver (apache), but, it would be much harder to manage (need to fix a watermark error? Re-process and re-create the images on the disk...) and would take much more disk space. I would rather process them at runtime, per request, however, this site will probably have lots of traffic. So, I've reached a deadend. Could someone share his/her experiences and thoughts and help me decide? :) FYI, The application would be custom built from the ground up using PHP 5 (Not sure if we will use a framework, if we happen to use, it will be probably CakePHP). At first, there would be no clusters, proxies or balancers, just a plain dedicated server with a good CPU, about 4GB RAM and lots of disk space. PS: I've put DoS in the subject tagline meaning Denial of Service as I think that maybe dynamic processing of images X lots of request could result in DoS. Thanks in advance, Marcelo.

Does subversion meet your needs? You can check out a working copy that's your dev copy, then check in changes and push to production whenever you want.

Thanks,

I'm confused as your code looks like it's already doing what you're
asking. It's hard to tell without seeing what bind_param() looks like.
But just a thought to use arrays in one of two ways:
// 1.
$this->db->bind('ii', $id1, $id2);
function bind () {
$args = func_get_args();
$this->statement->bind_param($args);
// then bind_param() can count the number of args and use them
}
//2.
$this->db->bind('ii', array($id1, $id2));
function bind ($var, $ids) {
// pass thru to bind_param()
$this->statement->bind_param($var, $ids);
// then bind_param() can use the $ids array
// or count the ids and send individual args to bind_param()
}
As I said, it's kind of hard to tell without knowing exactly what you
want to achieve.
One of the more elegant ways that I have seen is to pass required args
and then an array of args that the receiving function can use, like:
$this->db->bind('ii', array('someoption'=>$id1, 'feature'=>$id2,
'action'=>'doit'));
Need more info on the desired outcome.

[PHP] Uploading Large Files - Strange Issue
Hello group,
I have a very strange issue coming up when uploading large files ( about
30MB). The problem is it works fine on my computer (and two others that I've
tested), but it doesn't work on my client's laptop. It comes up with error
code - 0 (which is upload successful), but the actual file is not on the
server. Here is my error checking code:
if ($sizeOK && $typeOK) {
switch($_FILES['items']['error'][$number]) {
case 0:
if(!file_exists(UPLOAD_DIR.$file)) {
$success =
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['items']['tmp_name'][$number], UPLOAD_DIR.$file);
}
else {
$success =
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['items']['tmp_name'][$number],
UPLOAD_DIR.$postDate.$file);
$cp = true;
}
if ($success) {
$result[] = "$file uploaded successfully";
}
else {
$result[] = "Error uploading $file. Please
try again.";
}
break;
case 3:
$result[] = "Error uploading $file. Please try
again.";
default:
$result[] = "System error uploading $file. Contact
Webmaster.";
}
}
elseif ($_FILES['items']['error'][$number] == 4) {
$result[] = 'You chose not to add this file.';
}
else {
$result[] = "$file cannot be uploaded. Maximum size: $max.
Acceptable file types: pdf and mp3.Error number: " .
$_FILES['items']['error'][$number]."";
}
=
So for some reason on his computer it doesn't go to the switch statement
(case 0), but goes to the very last else statement.
So he always get this message:
>bigfiles.mp3 cannot be uploaded. Maximum size: 51,000.00KB.
>Acceptable file types: pdf and mp3
>Error number: 0
Yet, it always seems to work when I do it on my computer.
Any insight into this issue would be very helpful.
Thank you.

Benjamin Darwin wrote: Anybody have any suggestons/ideas on how this should be done, and what program is a good fit? Personally I think subversion is best suited for web projects (which can have high graphics churn) and git is best suited for code projects (which have text differences). I'm really loving git the more I use it for various projects, but I really don't think I'd be bothered with it's complexity if you are new to VCS. Subversion is great. You can can either run a repository locally or remotely and check out your "working copy" to do the actual changes, and commit back to the repository when you are done. If you keep your repository store locally, then make sure you have a good backup policy there! Personally, I keep my subversion repository on a central server in the office. It's connected via a standard ADSL but I can SSH in from the outside world. Live servers connect directly into it to do their checkouts for actually running the site. I do this on demand so it doesn't matter if the office server is offline etc. as I just make sure it goes online before updating. That way I'll usually have a full local checkout on my dev machine, the master repository and of course the live servers. This is quite reassuring from a backup perspective :D If you do go for subversion, I can recommend Trac as an excellent web based frontend to the repository to allow you to view it nicely. It also has a wiki for keeping notes and a ticketing system; with a few plugins I wrote (WorkLogPlugin, ClientsPlugin) it is ideal for tracking time spent on various tasks for various clients in order ot issue invoices etc. As for frontends, on Winblows, Tortoise SVN is the defacto one, but if you use Eclipse there are a few options there (Subclipse and Subversive) too.

It is likely that it is not PHP causing the issue. What browser is he

What browser is he using? What are his security settings for the browser? Have you viewed the source of the upload form on his browser? [/snip] He is using IE7 on Vista, he has a number of fishing add-ons (I don't remember which exactly since I've seen his laptop only once before this problem arose). Also he's been using "You send it" service just fine. That's what bums me! Thanks for such a quick response.

Disk-space is cheap, especially if you don't need to be worried about backup etc. I'm not sure why you think applying watermarks in an off-line process would any less manageable than doing it on-line. > FYI, The application would be custom built from the ground up using > PHP 5 (Not sure if we will use a framework, if we happen to use, it > will be probably CakePHP).

Sounds like you are planning to do the processing off-line then. You could even do a mix - if you've got a lot of photos (millions and milloins), applying the watermarks could take a while in itself, so you could leave that running slowly in the background, but combine it with an on-line process that does on-demand watermarking (when the photo is displayed). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] php File upload
Hi, on a linux system (Suese 10.2) with 1 GB memory its not possible to upload via http a 1 Gb File. Thats no limit problem on my php config. i can look the mem stats when uploading and the growing tmp file. If the temp file has 900 MB, Main Memory free is 0 and the script aborts and php deletes the tmp file. Why don't php use swap memory ?
