I need to establish connection to the server first, send in my login
packet and before reading the server response.

The same error when I also use the below function:

$fp = stream_socket_client("$con:$ip:$port", $errno, $errstr, $timeout);

 if (!$fp) {
 echo "$errstr ($errno)"; //"$errstr ($errno)\n";
 }

[PHP] PHP ping and exec() hangs apache

[Kamil Walas]

Hi,

I stuck with strange error. I have following code:


Address doesn't exist. When execute script from command line everything 
works fine. But when I go to the file by Firefox it hangs out and apache 
need to be restart. This is a Virtual Server with PHP Version 
5.2.6-pl222-gentoo. When address exists it works fine. Only problem is 
when it doesn't respond and apache hangs.


I copy file to apache at my local apache and everything works fine. My 
apache is with Version 5.3.0alpha3-dev at windows XP.


At old server with php4 everything works fine.

I suspect that something wrong is with apache configuration but I don't 
know it for sure and couldn't find it.


Thank you,
Kamil Walas

Re: [PHP] PHP scalability problem

[Marc Steinert]

Have a look at APC. APC is a bytecode cache, that stores bytecode generated of your PHP scripts, so 
that your PHP code don't need be parsed every time the script is invoked.


http://pecl.php.net/package/apc

I was able to increase the performance of my PHP scripts dramatically.

[PHP] getting file location

[Grega Leskovsek]

I have made a CMS with editing files. When I display the file name it
shows something like "../subdir/filename.php"
How can I display the actual filename that's on the web: like
http://localhost/subdir/filename.php or even better if it is possible:
http://domainname/subdir/filename.php ?

Thanks in advance, Grega from Slovenia

What's in $con? I'm guessing "tcp" in which case the first parameter
to stream_socket_client is wrong. See the manual for details:
http://php.net/stream_socket_client

In future please consult the manual and double-check that you're
passing valid arguments to the functions you're using before asking on
this list.

Which part of "See the manual for details" confused you?

You're passing ...

"$con:$ip:$port"

... which based on the above will translate to ...

"tcp:xx:xx"

... which is invalid. It should be ...

"$con://$ip:$port"

... which will translate to ...

"tcp://xx:xx"

... which is a valid value.

Please, read the damn manual ... carefully!!

I have made the correction but the error remiins:

 $timeout = 30;




 $fstream = stream_socket_client("$con://$ip:$port", $errno, $errstr,
$timeout);

 if($fstream){

My guess is that the IP you're trying to connect to is wrong. Can you
telnet to that IP/port combination on a command line?

There's like 37 different things it could be, none of which have
anything to do with PHP. You may find someone on this list willing to
help you out, but your better bet would be to find a list more suited

[PHP] continue working after finishing up with the http client

[Tom Worster]

what options are there to do the following:

1. receive request from client (including post data)

2. do some work, update the db, prepare output for client

3. send output and finish up with the client

4. do some more work that might take considerable time, updating the db some
more

it would be convenient and efficient if step 4 took place within the same
process as steps 1-3. but output control seems not to be sufficient:
ob_flush(); flush(); sends the output but leave the client waiting for more.
is there a way to close the connection as though exit; were called but
without quitting the script?

alternatively the script could start another process, copy over whatever
data is needed and disconnect from it. but that has its overheads on the
server.

are the other possibilities?

Good God, Leondard, did you just look up every single PHP mailing
list you could find and send the question to all of them at once?
Send questions like this to the General list, and leave it at that
next time.  People will eventually reply, just have patience.

it is a web app.

let's say for example that we're processing an ajax query. say we can
normally generate and deliver the response to the client quickly but the
speed depends on a cache with a relatively low miss rate.

now, when we get a cache miss, imagine that generating the client response
from scratch takes significantly less time than generating and inserting the
new cache entry corresponding to the query. so we want to send the response
to the client and then process the cache entry.

without getting into whether or not this cache design makes sense, my
question in this example is: what options are there for ending the http
transition and then continuing on to do the cache update work?

[PHP] Facelets for PHP

[David Greenberg]

Hi all,
It is very likely that there is already a framework out there somewhere that
does this, and that my searches are just too primitive to find it.  Please
bear with me.

I would like to structure a site where every page is written in pure XHTML.
 In addition to the standard XHTML tag validation, I would like to reference
a tag library that allows custom "components" to be added to a page.  For
instance:

  Input here
  


I would then like to use PHP to translate this into XHTML that can be sent
as an HTTP response.  Moreover, I would like to be able to define custom
components using XHTML pages.  The concept comes from Java Facelets.  The
main point here is that PHP generates a minimal amount of XHTML/JavaScript
for each component, while the pieces are put together by running a PHP
program against a pure XHTML file.

Is there already a framework within PHP to do this, or would it require
custom development?

Certainly the possibly implementations are endless, and something like XSLT
would be a natural step towards one.  I am, however, holding out some hope
that a framework already exists, and that I won't need to worry about this.

Thank you,
David

You either continue processing then-and-there (exec(), or whatever) or
you put the job in queue to be dealt with at your leisure.

The queue is the better solution if you're concerned about processor
load, as you can prioritise it. The exec() is simpler to implement.

Re: [PHP] Facelets for PHP

[David Négrier]

Hi David,

I know at least one framework that can do it. It's called Xaja:
 http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja/doc/

In fact, it is doing much more than just providing facelets since its main
purpose is to provide reverse ajax features.
It already supports a number of custom tags, and especially, it provides a
wrapping of the ExtJS Javascript library.
You can have a look at the doc here:
 http://www.thecodingmachine.com/ext/xaja/doc/widgets/about_widgets.html

The technique to write additional components still lacks documentation but
if you have a look at the code, it is not that difficult.
And I can provide some help.

I'm sure there must be other frameworks around providing custom tags. Any
one know another one on the list?

Regards,
David.

Disclaimer: I am the main developer of Xaja :)

You should *NEVER* trust the client with anything remotely important.
A, it creates more of a dependency on the client side software required
to use your application, and B, it has the potential to be a *MASSIVE*
security risk.

Not really. The most common use may be that, but xsl can convert an
XML document to pretty much any format you want and can even convert
between compatible encodings. (You would lose something to try to
convert from Chinese to Latin1, obviously, but you should be able to
convert from Latin1 to UTF-8 or from UTF-8 to UTF-16 if desired.) It
is even possible to go from XML to PDF. (I haven't tried it, so I
don't know how well it works.)

Exactly. The input XML document and the XSL stylesheet must both be
valid XML, but the output can be just about anything you want.  You
could have an XML table definition and use XSL to translate that
structure into a valid SQL statements using that table in a specific
SQL vendor dialect. Those could be anything as simple as generating
CREATE TABLE statements to build a script to create a database or as
complex as building stored procedures against those tables.

[PHP] not a shopping cart

[PJ]

I am setting up a b2b product site where food professionals can order
unique regional products. For this I have to implement a simple series
of pages that display the products and prices. Using php/mysql/css I
load the products, prices etc. with ease.
I have no use for any shopping carts as that is always encumbered by
huge overhead.
I am wondering what might be the best way to incorporate inputs that can
be dynamically loaded and then calculated and submitted for email
confirmation to client? Perhpas there is some sort of script out there
in freebieLand?
I'd appreciate any suggestions, pointers > or examples.

Moreover, you can transform XML into JSON via specific XSLT
True, I forgot to mention it in my post, XSL just transform, and similar 
structures can use the same XSL so another reason to prefer it over php in the 
html.

[PHP] Confirmation email caught by spam filter

[LAMP]

hi,
I use the following code (from php.net) to send confirmation email to 
the person that just created an account:


 $headers ="MIME-Versin: 1.0\n" .
"Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; 
format=flowed\n" .

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" .
"Reply-To: Orders \n".
"From: Orders \n" .
"X-Mailer: PHP" . phpversion();
   mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);



$subject is something like "[MyDomain] Your new account", and $body is 
just few plain text details  about person who created the form.


The same code I use to reset a password: a visitor enters his/her email 
address and the link with session ID is sent to entered email address.


The problem is the confirmation emails and "reset password" emails are 
very often caught  by email filter and finish in Spam/Junk folder, or 
even stopped by ISP. What am I doing wrong, or what to do to improve the 
code?


Also, how can I get bounced emails?

Thanks,

Afan

RE: [PHP] continue working after finishing up with the http client

[bruce]

hi tom...

if i understand your state diagram/workflow process. your server repsonds to
the client request, with two actions...

 action 1) return data to client relatively fast
 action 2) insert the data into your cache (or whereever) which takes
time...

is this correct?

do you have to somehow use the 'new'/updated cache data in the future
actions with the client...

it might be possible for you to have a setup, where you have an external
cron process, or other continually running process that does the cache
insertions

What mail program is PHP using? Did you check out the
$additional_parameters (5th parameter) for the mail() function? If
you're using sendmail and the envelope from address is
'nob...@mydomain.com', you can pretty much assume they will get dumped
as SPAM regardless of what you set in the From: header.

$subject is something like "[MyDomain] Your new account", and $body is just

The same code I use to reset a password: a visitor enters his/her email

The problem is the confirmation emails and "reset password" emails are very
often caught  by email filter and finish in Spam/Junk folder, or even
stopped by ISP. What am I doing wrong, or what to do to improve the code?

Also, how can I get bounced emails?

right. the "5th element" was www...@... (return-path)
I added on the end of the mail() '-ford...@mydomain.com'

Though, where/how can I setup the get bounced emails? Shouldn't bounced 
email be sent to "return-path"? I just sent few emails with non-existing 
email addresses and didn't get anything back?

Re: [PHP] not a shopping cart

[PJ]

I was afraid I would get this kind of reaction, but it is not what I
want or need.
As I mentioned, all these shopping carts are overbloated for the kind of
application I am creating.
I do not need all the heavy baggage that come with them. I have looked
at them, played with them some years back even and never liked them.
What I am looking for is something simple that can be used on one page
and that, at the most will give me a final page summarizing the choices
that have been made in several other pages and then totaling and sending
the results to the client. No shopping cart, no frills, no chills, just
a confirmation of the order.
Let's not forget that a b2b client has no time for all the pretty lace
and candy wrap. He/She makes a quick choice, clicks on
submit/do-it/or/confirm button and goes back to whipping his crew (in
the kitchen, I suppose). I rather suspect that I will have to drum this
little thing up by myself.
To explain the procedure for client:
1. Click on navigation choice among categories
2. Pages loaded from db (may be several for each category)
3. Select quantity from input boxes (box is either empty or has number
entered - this is stored somewhere)
4. Do the same for other pages...
5. When finished, click the finish/submit or whatever button. Go back to
work.
6. Back-end tallies the selections adds them enters choices in db and
send confirmation to client and to company to  fill order.
7. Post-back-end is up to the company to fill and deliver. Payment is
taken care of by company processing credit card and then delivering goodies.
That's about as simple as it can get. No shipping complications, no
credit complications. Just click and go.
All the unnecessary overhead is eliminated by first time registration
and credit check with confirmed username and password. Otherwise, baby,
you don't get nothing from this site. Public access and frills are not
on the product pages unless we ever go that way in the future.
Believe me, it works... we've done it before and were years ahead of
everybody...until 9/11... blew us off because they blew away some of our
clients and their clients as we... and then we had someone fresh meat
nerds coding and they rather stumbled over their own heels in the
programming, but that's another story.

Thanks, anyway.

You need to look at where you are sending the email from, and how that
mailserver is configured.  The email content of a non-spam email is
hardly ever enough to get it classified as spam.

> Also, how can I get bounced emails?

Put in the correct envelope address.  Use the '-r' option.

Does the filename include the path?  Does the image with said filename

PJ, don't get on your high horse...

the first post had very little detail as to what you really wanted, which
you explained much better in the second post. Its the question that is as
important, if not more so than the answer.

I too have coded similar sites and carts, but I found it easier to code my
own...its older code now and not something that would stand well to the test
of time.

If I were to do this again, I would implement an ajax scheme to load the
cart, have a view/edit cart page, a cc processing page and a confirmation of
payment / email confirmation page.

You can't display the image that way due to differeing headers in required
for html and images. Change your image code to call a page that specializes
in handling the images and the headers needed by changing to something like
this:

echo "\n";

where the show_image page calls the image out from the db and display it as
below

Please reply all.

The img tag is used to tell the browser where the image is located, it
then loads the image.  If you have the binary image data in the DB then
you probably need to have a PHP file with a get var as the img src and
then have that PHP file actually output the image data:




//image.php
header("Content-type: img/jpeg");
$filename = $_GET['filename'];
//do your SQL select and fetch using filename or whatnot to get the
image data, I assume from 'ePhoto'
echo $row['ePhoto'];

Thanks!

sure. but it was just an example of use of such an output and connection

this was part of the example, yes. but another example could be that you
process a web client's html form request, then send the client its response,
close the client connection and then proceed with a whole bunch of complex
logging of what was done.

yes. this is one of the proposals david otton made, both of which are
reasonable but do not enjoy the convenience or efficiency of doing the "end
work" (e.g. the cache insertion) in the same process and memory space as the
script that did the "front work" (e.g. processed the cache miss and sent the
ajax response). doing the "end work" in a separate process comes with the
overhead of serializing and communicating data to the other process.

i found a web page suggesting that you can get a client to close the
connection if you set ignore_user_abort(), then send Connection: close and
Content-Length: <#octets> headers, then send the response followed by
ob_flush and flush. can't say i'm in love with this.

in the absence of a tidy way to close the http connection to the client in
mid-php script, i think the queue will be my better bet. if i use mysql to
implement the queue then i'll have some convenient options for handling it.

Are you sure it's crashed and is not just waiting for a reply from the
remote server. How long do you leave it running before you assume it's
crashed? I see it's set for a 1millisecond wait response, but what is
the -c1 flag, as I'm not familiar with all the flags of a Windows ping,
and a quick Google didn't reveal it.

i've run into this. among many factors that can be involved, the sending
smtp server needs to be in address block that isn't black listed anywhere,
e.g. don't try sending from a comcast address.

also, you server needs to handle greylisting.

it may help to set an spf record.

in one instance i ended up using a well known mail hosting provider and
sending the mail to their smtp server with authenticated smtp over ssl,
which can be done quite easily with pear mail. i.e. pay the hosting company
to worry about getting the emails through.

I assume the file in question is not the one actually running the
script?

You could trim the periods from the filename string, and then attach the
domain prefix:

$prefix = 'http://domainname.com/';
$full_url = $prefix . trim($filename, '.');

Also, a word of warning. You shouldn't really let *anybody* edit a page
in such a way that they can insert their own PHP into a page. It's a
security risk, and should really be avoided if you can at all help it,
even if only for a single user. If you must let them enter simple PHP,
have you thought instead of having them enter something else (like
template-style commands) that can be checked and interpreted by your PHP
code, e.g. they enter this:

%%navbar%% 

and it's replaced by your navbar code. That way, anything your code does
not recognise, is not able to cause any gaping security holes on your
server.

I've also seen this happen where the address that the mail was sent from
is different from the MX record for the domain the email says it is sent
from. The only way round this is to have the MX and A records point to
the same server.

That's only true if the image is stored in the database as a BLOB or
somesuch. If the database is just storing the filename of the image,
then it may just need the correct directory path prefix. Go into your
browser, right-click and check to see what path and filename the browser
expects to find the image file. My guess is it's not the same as where
the image actually is, and you need to add the path before opening the
http://domain) or a relative one, and relative paths can include the ../
directory if you need to move up the directory tree.

Since this is a system where people won't actually pay you, and you
aren't fulfilling the orders, it should be fairly simple.  The carts
that I have seen are normally more bloated as you have stated, though
there are some that are just a "cart" where you select products. These
normally include the shipping, tax, and then payment logic for
paypal/google, etc. though.  I haven't used any, but this looked cool:
http://www.dragdropcart.com/ but it's $30.  And here is the first
tutorial I found on a search:
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/MySQL/Building-A-Persistent-Shopping-Cart-With-PHP-and-MySQL/

Based on many of your other posts, you've already done everything that
is needed here with the possible exception of the email.  Here is the
basics of the user interface, however you need to think about the admin
interface to add products, etc.

1. login user/start session
2. query db for categories and list them
3. when user clicks on a category, query db and list all products in
that category
4. each product has a text field where the name is the product id and
the value is the quantity that is entered by the user
5. when the user clicks submit, you add the post vars to the se

Do you get the just the file name or the full path to the image on the

Re: [PHP] Re: Displaying images

[Miller, Terion]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I have this now, but still no image 
showing up

It is stored as a blob in the database.

on the output page I am calling it like this:



Then on the image.php page I have this:





This page isn't working and if I try to browse this page it wants to open it 
with an editor, it won't view in the browser.

What am I doing wrong? Is it the code or the data?

Thanks

I was assuming that ePhoto was the actual binary data?  If so then you
need something else here like id or something.  I just used filename as
an example.  If ePhoto is actually the filename then you are OK here,
but not below.

Ummm...  This can't work.  What is ePhoto???  The data or the filename?

I don't know what your fields are, but if ePhoto is the BLOB, and you
have an id field, then try this (assuming that you have selected id in
your query and it is an integer):



//image.php
$id = (int)$_GET['id'];
$sql = "SELECT ePhoto from eagleProjects WHERE id=$id";

I guess you could look for a language that has a parser with 0

Thanks, Paul. 

I have done some more experimenting, and have a better handle on what is going 
on now, so
I don't think I will fall into any unexpected holes (apart from  by being 
careless!)

If you enter a value directly (eg. $a[0] = 000a; ) it tries to convert the 
input to a
number, and rejects any input it cannot convert (such as 000a). However if the 
value is
quoted it is stored internally as a string.

If the data is stored as elements of a string, and is exploded into an array no 
attempt is
made to interpret them, and they are stored as strings in their original form. 
They appear
to retain this form, but if they are compared with some other value the two 
values are
adjusted until they are of the same type, and then they are compared.  The 
results often
seem absurd at first glance. For example 000A < 2 < 10, but A > . I think 
the reason
for this is that if the values can be treated as numbers they are compared 
directly, but
otherwise the one with less characters is right padded with spaces, and then 
there are
compared as strings. Thus '000A' < '2   ', and 'A   ' > ''.

If the values are compared as strings (using strcmp or SORT_STRING) the results 
are
entirely logical if all the strings are of the same length. If the strings are 
of
different lengths the shorter one is again right padded (probably with spaces) 
and then
the two are compared.

These points are illustrated in the following test programs.

 Test 1. Values entered directly ';
$i = 0; $n = count ($a);
while ($i < $n)
{
echo ' $a['.$i.']: '.$a[$i].' = ';
$j = 0; while ($j < $n)
{
if (($i != $j) && ($a[$i] == $a[$j])) { echo $a[$j].', 
'; }
++$j;
}
++$i; echo '';
}

// Test two data:   
$ss = 2000;20e2;2.e3;2.E3;2.000e3;4000/2;4.0e3/2.0;20E2;;000A;A000;2;0010;
A;10;20;21';
$a = explode (';',$ss);

echo ' Test 2. Values exploded into array ';
$i = 0; $n = count ($a);
while ($i < $n)
{
echo ' $a['.$i.']: '.$a[$i].' = ';
$j = 0; while ($j < $n)
{
if (($i != $j) && ($a[$i] == $a[$j])) { echo $a[$j].', 
'; }
++$j;
}
++$i; echo '';
}

// Test 3.
$b = $a;
sort ($b, SORT_STRING);
sort ($a);
echo '   Sort normal.';
$i = 0; while ($i < $n)
{
echo '$a['.$i.'] = '.$a[$i].'';
++$i;
}

echo '   Sort string.';
$i = 0; while ($i < $n)
{
echo '$b['.$i.'] = '.$b[$i].'';
++$i;
}
?>
Results:

Test 1. Values entered directly. All values are converted to the simplest form 
on input.
 
$a[0]: 2000 = 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 20E2,

[PHP] PDO -> Nested selects allowed?

[Stephen]

For my photography website, I have a photo gallery, and the user first 
sees a list of categories. They can click down to see thumbnails, and 
again to see individual photographs.


I want to enhance this to, with the category listing, show the first 
thumbnail.


I have a category table, a photo table and the photos and thumbnails are 
files.


The photo table has a category_id column and a filename column.

Now, I Googled a bit, and it is not clear that

i) Select the categories
ii) Loop through the result set
iii) Within the loop select the filename will work

Does the select within the loop clobber the result set of the category 
selection?


I saw suggestions to fetch the entire result set into a PHP array, or to use

|$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY, true);

The queries I have created are:

$categoryquery = 'SELECT c.category_id, c.category_name, 
c.category_description,
 COUNT(photo_id) FROM gallery_category as c LEFT JOIN 
gallery_photos
 as p ON p.photo_category = c.category_id GROUP BY 
c.category_id

 ORDER BY c.category_order';
$catthumbquery = 'SELECT photo_filename FROM gallery_photos WHERE 
photo_category=:cid

 ORDER BY photo_order LIMIT 1';

and the PHP code I have drafted is:

try {
   $stmt = $dbh->prepare($categoryquery);
   $stmt->execute();
   while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
 $id  = $row['category_id'];
 $name= $row['category_name'];
 $description = $row['category_description'];
 $count   = $row['COUNT(photo_id)'];

 $stmt2 = $dbh->prepare($catthumbquery);
 $stmt2->bindParam(':cid', $id, PDO::PARAM_STR);
 $stmt2->execute();

 $result_array[] = "\t\t\n" .
   "\t\t\t" .
   $name . " ($count)\n\t\t\n \t\tclass=\"categorydescription\">" .

   "\n\t\t\t$description\n\t\t";
   }
 }
 catch (PDOException $e) {
   echo "Building category list failed: " . $e->getMessage();
 }

Thanks to those who can help!

[PHP] spawning a process that uses pipes - doesn't terminate when webpage download is canceled

[Flint Million]

so here's the scenario..

I have a site that uses php with a database to offer sound files to
users using streaming methods.

the request page has options, allowing the user to modify the sound
file in various ways, before having it sent to them

Here's the problem:

The method i'm using to feed the data to the user is to run the source
file through various piped commands, with the resulting audio being
dumped to stdout, and then using passthru in php to get that data to
the enduser.

here's an example, for serving an MP3 with its pitch/speed changed by sox:

passthru("lame --quiet --decode \"" . $in_file . "\" - | " .
 "sox -V -S -t wav - -t wav - speed " . $speed_factor . " | " .
 "lame --quiet " . $lame_params . " - -");

This works just fine, except the problem is if the end user aborts the
transfer (e.g. stops playback in the media player, cancels download of
the mp3, whatever) then it leaves behind both the sox process and the
decoder LAMe process along with the sh that's running them. the only
process that exits is the final encoding lame process. If the sound
file runs to completion, everythign exits properly.

But this obviously means enough "cancelling" of downloads means the
server ends up with a huge batch of stuck processes! And I even tried
simply killing the 'host' sh process, and the lame and sox processes
remain anyway. The only way I've been able to deal with this is
manually killing the lame and sox processes directly.

is there any way I can make this work, such so that if the user
cancels the transfer, all relavent processes are killed rather than
just the single process that's feeding output into php?
