[PHP] problem with my class

[Luke]

Hi guys,

I've been learning about object oriented programming and I wrote this test
class but it doesn't seem to be working, it throws no errors but doesn't
insert anything to the database either. I have made sure that the data being
sent when the class is instantiated is valid.

I'm probably missing something simple here...

I have already

class RecipeCreator
{
private $rtitle;
private $problem;
private $solution;

function __construct ($t, $p, $s)
{
if(!isset($t, $p, $s))
{
throw new Exception ('Missing parameters for
__construct, need $title $problem and $solution');
}

$this->rtitle   = mysql_real_escape_string($t);
$this->problem  = mysql_real_escape_string($p);
$this->solution = mysql_real_escape_string($s);
}

public function saveRecipe()
{
$query = "INSERT INTO recipe (title, problem, solution)
VALUES ('".$this->rtitle."',

   '".$this->problem."',

   '".$this->solution."')";
mysql_query($query);
}
}

Many thanks,
Luke Slater

Are you actually calling your public function?

$x = new RecipeCreator('a', 'b', 'c');
$x->saveRecipe();

You might want to insert some error reporting...

echo mysql_error(); and alike

Why redirect? That sucks as a user experience. Why not simply put an
alert somewhere prominent on the page with the message you want to
convey? That way you can have it on every page and not interrupt the
users use of your site.

Yes I am doing that. The query seems to be going through all right too I
tested the syntax in mysql query browser and tried mysql_error() but there
was nothing.
I think there's an issue with the __construct because when I wrote a method
in there to return one of the properties of the function, it turned up
blank! As I said before the variables I'm passing in are definitely valid...

If you do it manually does it work? Maybe the account is over quota.

And what happens when you instantiate your object without parameters?

$foo = new RecipeCreator();

It should throw and exception. This way you at least know if your
constructor is functioning properly.

And take a look at the message you throw when the parameters are not
set. The parameters are named $t, $p, $s but the message in the throw
statement uses $title, $problem, $solution

did you try echoing out the query and run it from phpMyAdmin or
something similar?

I changed the variables to $t $p and $s because I thought by naming them
with $title $problem and $solution may have been getting them mixed up
somehow.

I figured out the problem, which was that I was actually calling the
saveRecipe() method without the parentheses.

Too long programming in Perl -.-

Just to be clear where are you running your ftpData function from?
Your local computer? Where is the PDF file coming from? I hope from
your local computer as well.

How does your Source and Dest variables look like? Full paths?
Have you tried your firewall? (Assuming both script and file is coming
from local and your firewall is on whitelist mode.)

I agree, and you can still try the cookie method to not show the
message, but it's not a big deal if they don't get the cookie/it expires
etc., because the worst thing that can happen is that they see the message.

RE: [PHP] ftp_put issues

[James Hill]

The ftpData function and in fact all the php stuff is running online on my
webserver. The pdf file is on my local machine, I'm trying to upload the
local pdf file to the server using ftp.

 

The dest variable I have tried with the full path:

/var/www/html/Docs/DU/DU1.pdf

And with just the DU1.pdf along with ftp_chdir.

 

The local file path is being passed through a html form and consists of
L:/mypdfs/testpdf.pdf

 

I've disabled my firewall to try that to no avail.

Just to be clear where are you running your ftpData function from?

Your local computer? Where is the PDF file coming from? I hope from

your local computer as well.

 

How does your Source and Dest variables look like? Full paths?

Have you tried your firewall? (Assuming both script and file is coming

from local and your firewall is on whitelist mode.)

 

Cheers

Hi Luke,

class RecipeCreator
 {
 private $rtitle;
private $problem;
private $solution;

function __construct ($t, $p, $s)
 {
if(!isset($t, $p, $s))
 {
 throw new Exception ('Missing parameters for
 __construct, need $title $problem and $solution');
 }

I think the problem was with the $title. As above, you defined the private 
variable $rtitle but you were trying to call the variable later as $title.

 

Cheers.

Alugo Abdulazeez.

I think that explains your problem, in order to upload a file via FTP
your FTP client GENERALLY must reside on the same computer as your
client, in your case your FTP client sits remotely elsewhere (which is
your PHP script) and your file is on your local computer.

A simple HTTP file upload should fit your 100K file nicely.

Cheers.

The problem was already solved. But I feel like mentioning, that the
Exeption is just "naming" the variables with their content...
the class reads the vars as $t, $p and $s and it dowsn't matter at all
if you call ist with new foo($BAR, $whatever,
$somethingveryverydifferent), as once in the class only the VALUES
count. and yey're being assigned to the function vars $p, $t, $s,
which are being set to PRIVATE vars $rtitle, $problem etc.
Conclusion: The variable handling has no errors!

David, please refrain from top-posting.

As for cURL login/session handling... I have an automated script that
connects to a phpBB bulletin board, and here are the settings that
have worked for me:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "{$homedir}cookiefile");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "{$homedir}cookiefile");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, session_name() . '=' . session_id());

I would think CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION and the CURLOPT_COOKIE* options
are most important for resolving your issue.

RE: [PHP] PDO fetch_obj - question

[MEM]

 
Thanks. I will see. The script for my database was been generated so, I will
doublecheck this uppercase "issue"...

Regards,
Márcio
2009/4/15 Thodoris 
 
Hi there,  I’ve made a fetch_obj and, as stated on some sites, it returns a
anonymous
object where the properties will have the name of our columns database.
However, when I do this, I notice that instead of giving me the column names
as they are typed on the DB I get them uppercase. So, when my database field
is “id_dog” to retrieve the property properly I have to search for “ID_DOG”
 Why is this? Is this a normal behavior?
  Thanks a lot,
Márcio

 
I have just dumped an object using var_dump retrieved with pdo fetch object
method:

object(stdClass)#3 (4) {
 ["id"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 ["cat"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 ["cod_sin"]=>
 string(6) "120014"
 ["cod_uis"]=>
 string(2) "26"
}


and it seems quite normal to me. Try to see your table info using:

describe `tablename`;

To see what are your table's fields .

Try to include more info about your system, php version etc in case you
reply. It will help us to help you.

Done. No problem at all. The scripts as generated the database columns with
uppercase.

Re: [PHP] bug or expected, mbstring.func_overload not changeable by .htaccess 5.2.8/5.2.9

[Andre Hübner]

Hello,


Besides the .htaccess which might be an apache configuration problem if
you use ini_set("mbstring.func_overload",2) in a script of this
directory does it work?

no, also the ini_set does not work for this Directive.


In addition to this heck your apache configuration to see if you allow
.htaccess to be parsed.


apache and .htaccess are ok
i added a scond line which changes mbstring.encoding_translation from off to 
on without problems:


Directive Local Value Master Value
mbstring.encoding_translation On Off
mbstring.func_overload 0 0

.htaccess:

php_value mbstring.func_overload 2
php_flag mbstring.encoding_translation On

Can you confirm or rebut this behavior?
Should we go to internals list?
Thanks,
Andre

[PHP] Need Your Help :) I'm Just About Creating File Uploading Service

[Nitsan Bin-Nun]

Hi List,

I have been thinking for a while about setting up my own rapidshare.comclone,
Few days back I went really serious with this and came up with some ideas.

This is where I need your help, my partner and I have been thinking about
the
system that the website should run on.
We came to conclusion that we are going to write it in PHP.

There are several issues that came up during the mind-storm:
First, how we can keep the files out of being published as direct links?

My first idea was to host them one directory up from the http directory.
It seems good but how I would deliver the files to the users?
We are talking about unlimited file-size hosting so that means that we
will have to stream the files somehow... and they will be BIG (it's
defendant,
about 700MB~ each)

We thought of letting users pay by SMS'es, whats your ideas about it?

I'm generally looking after a "do" and "NOT do" list of creating a file
hoster ;)
If you have any general ideas / precautions that would definitely make my
partner and I happy :)

Thanks in Advance,
Nitsan

With files of that size and the transfer speed of most broadband
users, you will almost absolutely have to use a Flash/Java uploader
app in order to ensure the files finish before server/browser timeout.

As far as hiding them from being accessed directly, I think you're
right--the file itself will have to be outside of your web root. I
would probably use a middle system to grab a request from your page,
verify that it did in fact come from your page (maybe with a
time-sensitive hash value) and then retrieve the file's contents based
on the validity of that hash value.

Just a thought.

php wrapper.
It validates (session id or whatever) that the client has permission to 
access the file, and then sends the real file.


$archive = /path/to/some/tarball;
$tarname = "something.tar";

header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: private",false);

header('Content-type: application/x-tar');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $tarname);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
if ($fp = fopen( $archive , 'rb' )) {
   $sendOutput = "";
   while ($l = fgets($fp)) {
  $sendOutput .= $l;
  }
$outputLen = strlen($sendOutput);
header("Content-Length: $outputLen");
print $sendOutput;
} else {
// for whatever reason we failed
die();
}



We are talking about unlimited file-size hosting so that means that we
will have to stream the files somehow... and they will be BIG (it's
defendant,
about 700MB~ each)


Then I suggest setting up a torrent instead of direct download.
You can have protected torrents. I don't know how to set them up but I 
use them - there's a torrent site that requires I log in from the same 
IP as I'm running the torrent client from, for example.


If you want to provide service for those who can not use a torrent 
client, use an ftp server to serve the files - so that ftp clients 
capable of continuing an interrupted download can be used.


700MB is really too big fot http. Sure, it works, but it is better to 
use a protocol designed for large binary files.

:D

rest of the code is copied from a file I use to serve content that is 
outside the web root.


That's one of my rules - the web server never has write permission to 
any directory inside the web root (I don't want a server bug to allow a 
cracker to trick the server into writing a file it then directly serves).

How is 700MB too big for HTTP?  Ever download a linux distro?  Ever
benchmark FTP vs HTTP, the overhead is minimal...

A torrent is only fast or faster because you can get various pieces of
the file from various peers or servers on the internet, simultaneously.
I don't expect that people uploading their private photos of their
girlfriends want them shared in any way, except with the eventual
recipient.

I download linux distro's all the time - er, whenever a new CentOS is 
released.


It's not overhead that is the issue.
It's being able to continue an interrupted download that is an issue.

Some http clients may be able to, though I suspect that would require a 
non standard extension to http that both client and server understand.


Also - many people use a temp filesystem (aka ram disk) for www 
downloads (I doubt a majority but those of us who are smart) - where the 
file is initially put until all the pieces have come down before it is 
finally saved to the destination. Using tempfs for that requires less 
disk IO because your www downloads are typically small, so no need to 
write to disk until you have it all when it can do the write at once.


700MB can easily fill that temp filesystem, depending upon the size of 
your tempfs (and what else it is being used for).


Serving via ftp - virtually every ftp client out there knows how to 
resume an interrupted download, so it is much better suited for large 
downloads than http. And serving via ftp/torrent - the user is far less 
likely to be using a tempfs as a staging area that can result in a bad 
download.

The point of torrent isn't speed - but because torrent is excellent at 
dealing with interruption in network before the download is complete, 
and far less likely to result in a bad download.


In fact - I've used torrent to fix files that were improperly downloaded 
without having to download them again.

But a torrent in this case is entirely unsuitable as the op said. As far
as I'm aware, HTTP is fine for downloads, and it's served me fine using
it, but uploads are a different matter. Using FTP for both would
certainly solve a lot of issues however.

Re: [PHP] Need Your Help :) I'm Just About Creating File Uploading Service

[Nitsan Bin-Nun]

You are definitely right, but there is one thing that you didn't knew and
I'm sure that you didn't take into account - usually the files on the server
will be DVD rip's that are typically 700MB~ in size, every second movie that
people will download will contain some interrupted pieces, although that
these small pieces won't affect the file that much in order to keep it out
from playing. Most of the video players know how to player these corrupted
files and will handle them good.

And for torrent - this is a good solution but this is not what I'm after,
I'm going to set up an HTTP file hoster, not a torrent tracker ;)

Any other ideas regarding serving the files and hosting them will be very
appreciated!!

Thank you guys for all the ongoing help in this list ;)

Kind Regards,

I download linux distro's all the time - er, whenever a new CentOS is 
released.


It's not overhead that is the issue.
It's being able to continue an interrupted download that is an issue.


Resuming interrupted downloads when you are using php to serve a file 
not in the document root is probably even trickier.


If you don't mind your server doing that, then go ahead and use http - 
but it will result in increased bandwidth from browsers that crashed, 
network hickups, etc.

Neh, we don't have plenty of these in Israel, don't count it in as an issue.

Serving the files won't be an overkill for my harddrive / cpu usage /
anything else?

There is a better way to serve the files with/without PHP and keeping them
outsite of the HTTP root?

Thanks in Advance,

If you want to use http the code I provided in my first response works 
very well for files I serve outside the web root.


make a dummy directory in the web root.
In that dummy directory put a single php file - called "dummy.php" or 
whatever.


Have that file check the users credentials etc. (IE via session id) - 
and have


$thispage=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

put a .htaccess file in the dummy directory containing:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^*\.iso$ dummy.php

That way a request to /dummy/something.iso

is handled by dummy.php - which then can figure out what file is wanted 
via the $thispage variable, verify the user has permission to download 
it via sessions etc. (and sends a 403 header if they don't), verifies 
that the file exists (and sends a 404 header if it doesn't), and then 
uses the code I outlined in my first post to grab the file from the real 
location that is outside the web root and sends it to the requesting client.


It works quite well for me.

That assumes apache is your server, you have the mod_rewrite module, and 
allow .htaccess override (if you don't want to allow .htaccess overide 
you can put the rewrite directive right in the http.conf for the dummy 
directory)

Re: [PHP] Need Your Help :) I'm Just About Creating File Uploading Service

[Nitsan Bin-Nun]

It's really simple and I wrote several of these long time before, but I
thought that there might be an option of serving the files w/o using PHP to
read it and send the headers and chunks using only htaccess for the serving
and PHP for the validation of the session.

There might be - I'm not familiar with such a technique though.
You may be able to use php sessions to enter an IP into a database (or 
flat file) that standard apache access restrictions could use to 
determine whether or not to send the file.


IE upon succesful login from 192.168.15.7 - that IP is added to a list 
used in an apache "allow from" directive.


The potential problem I see with that is the IP address you associate 
with a session may be a proxy.


But there may be solutions to that.

[PHP] cURL Download

[Robbert van Andel]

I've been struggling to download a file from a network file share using
cURL, or whatever else will work.   All I want to do is get the contents of
a text file.  But when I run the code below I get this error "Error: 37 -
Couldn't open file \\server\share\test.txt".  I'm running my website on a
linux box, but the server is on a Windows file server.  I've verified that
the file share works when I use Windows Explorer and that the server can get
the file via the command line using smbclient.  Any help would be
appreciated.

Getting $file\n";

// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

// grab file and pass it to the browser
echo "File: " . curl_exec($ch) ."\n";
echo "Error: " . curl_errno($ch) . " - " . curl_error($ch) .
"\n";
?>

Thanks,
Robbert

[PHP] array manipulation

[PJ]

The more I get into arrays, the less I understand.
I have a ridiculously simple task which excapes me completely.
I need to ouput all fields in 1 column from 1 table in two phases sorted
alphabetically.
So, I have the query, I have the results. But since I need to split the
list into 2 parts, I need indexes. I cannot use the table index as it
does not correspond to the alphabetical order of the data column. In
order to get the index, I sort the resulting array and that now gives me
34 arrays each containing an array of my results. Wonderful!
But how do I now extract the arrays from the array?

Here is what I'm trying to do:

$SQL = "SELECT category
FROM categories
ORDER BY category ASC
";
$category = array();
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($SQL, $db) ) !== false ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results) ) {
$category[$row['category']] = $row;
}
sort($category);
//var_dump($category);
echo "";
$count = mysql_num_rows($results);
$lastIndex = $count/2 -1; echo $lastIndex;
$ii = 0;
$cat = '';
//print_r($category['0']['category']);
foreach($category as $index => $value) {
$ii++;
if ($ii != $lastIndex) {
$cat .= "$value, ";
}
else {
$cat .= " & $value";
}
$catn = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $cat);
//echo "$category";
echo "
", $cat, "

" ;
}
}
echo "";

What should I be using in the foreach line?
Please help!

Sorry, bout that.
My brain wasn't working right.
It was a lot simpler than I thought. Forget the foreach.
I used a counter. :-[

[PHP] catching up

[Tim | iHostNZ]

Hey guys,

Just trying to catch up to the rest of the world again. Prob wont be able to
read all the php mail.

Just one thing: Maybe PHP should be renamed to PFP (PHP Free Processor) or
something. A recursive acronym sort of suggests that you cannot be free or
break out of this infinite loop. What do you think? It could introduce
another variable call it $f (for FREE of course, nothing else you dirty
minded people), you get the idea.

Btw donations on my website are not abused, but rediculously low. I was
planning to make my CSV to SQL program free software, but without donations
im afraid ill have to fight a court case with the guy who owns me.

i love diet coke or coke zero is even better. advertisement not intended.

RE: [PHP] pup

[ramesh.marimuthu]

Hi,

I'm new to php.
Say I have a check box which is checked already. Now I need to uncheck
it and when I press the submit button, I should get the unchecked value.
Can anyone help me on this.

One.php

if($qry[0]!=$login_type)
{
echo "".$slot_value."";
}
else
{
echo "".$slot_value."";
}

One.php calls Two.php
Two.php

$enable_slot= $_POST['enable'];
$uncheck_slot= $_POST['uncheck'];

if ($enable_slot){
echo "$enable_slot";
foreach($enable_slot as &$a) {
echo "".$a." --unreserve";
}
}

I get only the results only if checked. I think I'm doing a mistake in
the code in red font.

Re: [PHP] cURL - Error 400

[David]

Hi,

Sorry, that didn't work. The website is still returning error 400 with
CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION and CURLOPT_COOKIE enabled.

I did some experimentation in Firefox by blocking and deleting all cookies
from the site. When I then visited the site, I was able to reach the logon
page without returning error 400 so I doubt it's cookies that is the
problem.

I also tried changing the HTTP headers to:

Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Which didn't work either.




Thanks

Hi,
 
I'm new to php.

Say I have a check box which is checked already. Now I need to uncheck
it and when I press the submit button, I should get the unchecked value.
Can anyone help me on this.

One.php

if($qry[0]!=$login_type)
{
echo "".$slot_value."";
}
else
{
echo "
".$slot_value."";

}

One.php calls Two.php
Two.php

$enable_slot= $_POST['enable'];
$uncheck_slot= $_POST['uncheck'];

if ($enable_slot){
echo "$enable_slot";
foreach($enable_slot as &$a) {
echo "".$a." --unreserve";
}
}

I get only the results only if checked. I think I'm doing a mistake in
the code in red font.

When you uncheck a checkbox in an HTML form, it will not be submitted.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#checkbox

The part on the above page talking about "only "on" checkbox controls can become 
successful." is the key here.

The successful part links here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#successful-controls

This explains that the definition of a successful checkbox submission is one that is  
"on".
To have a checkbox in the "on" state means that it has to be checked.

So, any checkbox that is /not/ checked is considered "off" or "undefined" will 
not be submitted because it is not valid.

Or something like that... :)

Thanks Jim. Is there a way to get the value of that unchecked box?

Maybe create a hidden input tag right next to it that references some default 
value.

Why are you wanting to get a value if it is not checked?

If this is what you are looking for are you sure that a checkbox is the right 
form input type to be using?

You could use an array system in your checkbox form section.?

Basically, take your check boxes.  I am assuming that you have a defined list 
of what is expected?  Correct?

Have your elements setup like such:



 Room #1
 Room #2
 Room #3
 Room #4
 Room #5


Then on your processing page, you know that you have 5 rooms, 1 - 5.

With this information you can check to make sure that something exists



Something like that should do the trick.
