RE: [PHP] Using while as for...

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

this is how you'd do it, in any of three ways,
depending on the values you want to start/stop with.

//counts from 0 to 10
$count=0;
while ($count <= 10) {
echo "$count, ";
$count++;
}
print "";

//counts from 1 to 10
$count=0;
while (++$count <= 10) {
echo "$count, ";
}
print "";

//counts from 1 to 11
$count=0;
while ($count++ <= 10) {
echo "$count, ";
}

RE: [PHP] Help INSERTing to MySQL

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

you dont need to have a list of field names if you insert
the exact amount of fields that exist in the table...

if you have fields Name and Email, you can do:
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ('myname','[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
without a problem.  however, if you have fields 
Name, Email and Password the previous code will break,
since MySQL would complain that you're inserting
too few (or too many) pieces of data into the table,
and it cant decide which data goes where

RE: [PHP] Download PHP from Linux machine?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

well, you could load lynx, then type "G" (go) and
type in "www.php.net" on the address bar, then
navigate your way to the download page from there.
(it's only one page deep into the site)

that's how i did it at work on our linux machine.

RE: [PHP] ++$i and $i++ whatz the difference?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

one is post-increment, and one is pre-increment:

POST-increment ($i++)
$i = 1;
print $i++;
print "\n"
print $i;

prints :
1
2
becuase $i is printed out and *then* it is incremented, so
the next print statement prints out the incremented value,
not the print $i++; statement

PRE-increment (++$i)
$i = 1;
print ++$i;
print "\n"
print $i;

prints :
2
2
becuase $i is incremented, and *then* printed out.

RE: [PHP] Last Element in an Array?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

you can get the amount of elements in an array using count()
and use that # as an index value for 1+ the last value
(the last value that's NOT IN the array)

$a = array('12', '198', 'b');
print count($a);

this'll give you "3", which, as you can see,
the last valid subscript of $a is $a[2];

as a test, try removing the shebang line from your

"/usr/local/bin/php myscript.php"

i've used the CGI version for months now with apache
for my website, and frequently use PHP from the shell
to test out ideas and code snippets and i've never

im not sure that i understand the question, but the way
i've got my apache/PHP configured, i dont ever see
the actual path to the PHP binary.

what type of problem are you having ??

PS: i never use shebang lines in my PHP scripts;
i have apache configured to handle *.php files
as PHP code.

RE: [PHP] two data base connections on one page

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

look at the manual def's for both:
mysql_connect
and
mysql_db_query

if you have multiple database connections active, 
remember to *always* use the linkid of the database
you want to talk to

RE: [PHP] [OT-ish] Optional Extras.

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

off the top of my head, you could try using a 
"lookup table" to define the extra options...

ford_spec table:
id  desc
--- ---
1   air conditioning
2   whatever

ford_cars table:
car extra1  extra2
--  --- -
'contour'   1   0
'probe' 0   1

"contour" would have "aircond" but no "whatever"
"probe" would have no "aircond" but would have "whatever"

so to add more options specific to a manufacturer, 
you could make an entry into "ford_spec" and then
create an "extra3" field in "ford_cars"... this system,
at least, would enable you to have as many extras
as you wanted for each manufacturer, and have
different options available for different manufacturers.

i dont know how efficient this would be, and there are
probably a bunch of better ways to do it, but i've seen
this method used before by someone who developed
a batteries catalog and needed to store different
manufacturers with different options for their batteries.

RE: [PHP] error_log not obeyed

does the directory exist?

does php or apache have the right to create new files
in /var/www/logs/? 

if the file exists, are the permissions set correctly on it?

keep in mind that the user that owns apache usually
has very limited powers

RE: [PHP] How to prevent people from downloading images

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

there are two answers to this:

1) it cannot be done.  as long as that image is on the person's
computer screen, it is physically impossible to prevent that
person from saving the image and using it.
(a simple tap of the "print screen" will take a screenshot
on windows machines, as someone else mentioned)

2) if you used java or some form of server-side script to pass
the binary data directly to the browser, it would make it much
harder for the "average" websurfur to "steal" the image,
since he/she wouldnt be able to just right-click on it and
select save as... (as someone also mentioned, he bought
a java class that did this)

but like i said before, if that image is viewable on the computer
monitor, it's impossible to protect it if someone wants to steal
it bad enough.

you could also do it this way:

$nfile = "new.file.txt";// new file

$string = "original";   // what needs to be replaced
$replace = "replacement";   // what to replace it with
$data = file($ofile);   // original file's data

$fp = fopen($nfile,"w") or die("Cannot open for writing");
while ( list(,$line) = each($data) ) {
$line = preg_replace("/$string/", $replace, $line);
fwrite($fp, $line) or die("Cannot write");
}
fclose($fp);

$r = copy($nfile,$ofile) or die("Unable to copy");
$r = unlink($nfile) or die("Cannot unlink");

even a blank line at the end of a file that you're
include()ing will break header.

you could use output buffering, but i dont think
you really want to go to all that trouble for a simple

RE: [PHP] PHP/Apache security question

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

if the script is running as user "scott" group "scott",
then it can only alter/read/execute files that the user
"scott" has access to... nothing else.

of course, if you have user "scott", group "users",
and have user "tom" in group "users", then any files
that have the group read/write/exec permissions set
could possibly be "vulnerable" to other user's scripts.

RE: [PHP] Can PHP execute a refresh to a new page?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

i've been using the header("...") approach myself, but
was curious to see if there's a builtin PHP function that
will accomplish the same thing

im a kind-of new PHP programmer, and havent really
been exposed to too much of the language yet,
but i found it quite odd that such a function seems to
be absent from the core language, since it's a web
based language... and moving a browser from one
URL to another is quite common among web scripts.

RE: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

with slight modifications, yes... that will work.

1) PHP doesnt support built-in regexp's
   (which is a constant sore in the side of any perl programmer)
   so you'll have to ditch the /:/ for ':'

2) you have to declare lists as list(), unlike the
   assumed behaviour in perl when it sees () = ...

this is how you'd do it in PHP
  $str = 'C:programs:this:that.exe';
  list($one, $two) = split(':', $str);
  print $one ."\n";
  print $two ."\n";

not very different, but different enough to be annoying :)

RE: [PHP] Can I select only the newest record?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

there are two ways that come to mind of doing this if you're
using some kind of auto-incrementing field (not necessarily
AUTO_INCREMENT, but any field that increases [or decreases]
with time)

this will select the entire row, but limit the query to only
return 1 result (and depending on how your order, this
result could be the highest/lowest value of the field):


(to get highest value of field id)
SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1;

(to get lowest value of field id)
SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;


PS: there's probably a more efficient way to do it,
but this is what came to mind at the moment...

RE: [PHP] more on trimming

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

well, there are two solutions,
1) for variables with only whitespace to be trimmed
2) variables with whitespace and \n to be trimmed

1) solution:
the way i'd do it too is regexp... very similar to your solution
(you're on the right track, but just needed to take that final step)

  $var = "This is a variable  ";
  print ".". ereg_replace('( +)$','',$var) .".";

this will print ".This is a variable."
the regexp replaces all whitespace at the end with nothing.
"$" means to match at the end, and "( +)" means to match one or more spaces

2) solution:
for text with mixed linebreaks and spaces, i cannot seem
to find a single regexp that'll compile, so i came up with a bad
emulation of perl's s//g (global replace) by using a while
loop to keep checking if there's any more crap that needs
to get cut off the end...
  $var = "This is
text with linebreaks and spaces 

";
  while (ereg("(\n| )$", $var)) {
$var = ereg_replace("(\n+| +)$",'',$var);
  }
  print "$var\n";

prints:
"This is
text with linebreaks and spaces"
(with no further linebreaks *or* spaces after the word "spaces")


PS: if anyone out there is more familiar with PHP/regexps than i am,
could you please send me an email explaining how to get global
pattern matching (ala perl's s///g command) in PHP??
i cannot seem to find any switches for ereg that make it match global

RE: [PHP] location

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

you could possibly store the name/password as cookies, so 
that they're available to the PHP script without the user having
to type them in more than once per session (or even longer
if you set the expire date properly)
i know that cookies are horribly insecure, but for purposes
of a very simple validation routine, cookies are sufficient)

if ( !validate_user($ck_name,$ck_pw) ) {
  print "you are not logged in, please go log in";
}
else {
  print "you are logged in";
}


function validate_user($ck_name, $ck_pw) {
  //make whatever calls you need to the database
  //to see if this name/pw combination are valid.
  //return 1 if good, return 0 if bad
}

RE: [PHP] search

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

it's such a complex question and answer that i really think
you need to ponder some more fundamental design concepts
before you ask for advice on actually coding the thing...

such as what type of database layout fits the type of
information you will be storing/searching/retrieving,
how you want to categorize the information in your
database, how the interface will look and operate
(do you want to allow boolean expressions, or just
search for any occurence of any word in the search field)

to get a very simple searcher thing working, it's not very
hard (ive done it in perl/MySQL for a site that had about 20
static HTML pages and some news stories in a database table)
and it took me about half a day

however, you have to know what you want to accomplish
beforehand or else you'll bang your head against the wall
quite often during development :)


if you're going for an exremely simple searcher with few features
and not too much flexibility, i'd reccomend creating a keyword
lookup table that simply relates keywords to the thing they
refer to (HTML page, PHP page, etc...)

the table might look a bit like this, if you had two pages and
a total of two keywords:
key| page
--|
"foo" | "firewall.html"
"bar" | "vpn.html"
"bar" | "firewall.html"

then, when people entered either "foo" or "bar" (or "foo bar")
into your search field, the resulting query would be a list of
pages that were associated with either (or both) of those keywords.

"foo" = "firewall.html"
"bar" = "vpn.html"
"foo bar" = "firewall.html" and "vpn.html"

yes, that will work... however, if you're trying to select from

selecting the LAST_INSERT_ID wouldnt work...

RE: [PHP] Simple REGEX?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

well, if the only characters that you want to allow are 
alphanum/space/underscore, you could use a
perl regexp to match against anything *other* than
those things...(a positive match would indicate that the
string being matched had invalid characters in it)
use this:

preg_match('/[^\w\s]/', $input);

(to see an explanation of why this works, please read
the bottom of my email... i give a short breakdown of it)

if you want to allow any more characters, simply place the
character you want to allow within the brackets, and any
instance of that character in the string to be matched
will be ignored (rather than matched) 
for example, to allow periods and question marks in
your input (without getting a positive match on the regexp),
modify it to look like this: '/[^\w\s\.\?]/'


what will match and what will not match using this regexp:
print preg_match('/[^\w\s]/', $t);

$t = "ea!ti_t99";
will print "1" since the "!" will match the regexp

$t = "Hello one_two"
will print "0" since nothing matches

$t = "How *are* you"
will print "1" since the "*" matches


the regexp works like this:
[ ] = character class
^ = not
\w = alphanumeric
\s = space

the character class brackets are just to let the regexp
know that the things inside of it are to be matched one
by one against the string.  "[suv]" would not match the entire
string "suv", but rather "s" or "u" or "v", so "[\w\s]" would 
match any string that had an alphanumeric character or
whitespace in it.  since you want to find strings that 
have NOT-alphanum or NOT-space, you simply negate the
character class that will match alphanum and space, by
adding a "^" to it... making it "[^\w\s]" (match anything
that is NOT an alphanumeric or space character - meaning
match any string that has invalid characters).

if you want to allow other characters into your input, just
add them into the character class.  if you find that you need
to allow "?" into your input, use this "[^\w\s\?]"... and it will
match any string that does NOT have alphanum/space/?,
meaning that it will match any string with invalid chars.

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

any good .conf files?  
...mine reads like a stephen king novel :)

it's easy... if you go to php.net and read thru their
installation documentation, there are about 4-5 lines
total that you need to add to your httpd.conf 
(at least when you install php as a stanalone cgi)
to get apache to properly handle php content...

took me about 5 minutes to add the lines, restart
apache, and get my first "Hello world" php script
to greet me :)

im using win2k myself, so if you have any severe
trouble, i could possibly help you out...

RE: [PHP] Count of multi-dimensional array

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

it's not very elegant, but i havent come across any PHP
core function that will do what you asked, so here's a little
loop that will return the total length of a multidimensional
array

$total = 0;
for ($i=0; $i < count($myarray); $i++) {
$total += count( $myarray[$i] );
}
print $total;

in your case, it will (should) print "8"

RE: [PHP] Determingin if cookies are useable?

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

hmmm... what i would do is set a cookie named
"cookies_enabled" in the very beginning of your site,
and check for the presense of that variable in places
that you need cookie functionality... 

logically, if $cookies_enabled isnt set, it means that the
cookie doesnt exist (and thus cookie support for the
browser is lacking or dismal)

RE: [PHP] checking image extensions

or, a bit more concisely, you could use a regexp...

to allow only jpg/gif/png file formats, setup the
regexp to match on those three formats, and
yell at people who submit anything other than
those three


$imgName = "one.jpg";
if (! preg_match('/\.(jpg|gif|png)$/', $imgName) ) {
  print "file format is not supported!";

well, CSS support in netscape 4 is abyssmal to begin with,

[PHP] using a regular expression to trim whitespace

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

there's a much easier way to get rid of whitespace
and linebreaks at the end of a variable than using a
looped ereg_replace (as i previously suggested)

1) use trim()
2) use preg_replace('/\s*$/', '', $input)

both will cremate spaces and linebreaks

RE: [PHP] REGEX prob

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

did you check the value *before* writing it to a file?

before trying to solve any problem, you have to know
where to look perhaps the problem lies with the file
instead of the regexp.

the following code worked great for me:

Lnk';
$html = preg_replace('/&flag=(\d{9})&PHPSESSID=(\w{32})/', append_url(), $html );
print $html;
save_url($html);
die("Done");

function append_url() {
  return "&new_url=this";
}

function save_url($html) {
  if ( !($f = fopen('test.txt', 'w')) ) {
die("Cannot write file");
  }
  else {
fwrite($f, $html);
fclose($f);
  }
  return 1;
}

?>

RE: [PHP] PHP as CGI

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

i had a very similar problem when i first setup PHP/Apache
on my linux box... i forgot to add a line to my httpd.conf
and got all sorts of "Cant find this" "Cant find that" type
of errors

my mistake was that i did not set ScriptAlias and Action
correctly, and thus apache was having all sorts of
problems executing my scripts becuase i put the physical
path to php after my Action directive, rather than alias it
via a ScriptAlias directive..  (silly me thought i could do
away with the ScriptAlias and just point to it directly)

make sure you have both of these (or something similar)
in your httpd.conf file:

ScriptAlias /php/ "/physical/path/to/php"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php"

(and make sure to "killall -HUP httpd" after any changes to
the conf files, although you probably knew that already... :)

hope it helps.

yes... the "dimension" of an array is basically how many

1D = $this[];
2D = $this[][];
3D = $this[][][];

with a slight modification, that code works perfectly:

my code produces:

suppress printing $key, and you'll get the output you want.

if i use your code verbatim, i get a parse error becuase of the
variable name starting with a digit, but as for the error *you*
describe, when i put the loop inside of a function, and fail to declare
$twod as global, i get the same error:

"Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object ..."

make sure you declare all globals as "global $varname" in your
functions... PHP is basically the reverse of almost every other
language (things are local by default, global by declaration)...

[PHP] ASP / PHP / embedded scripting (possibly OT)

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

i dont know too much about ASP, as i've never had to use it,
but i thought ASP as more of an enviornment (or meta-language)
rather than an actual programming language (becuase VBscript
is the default language for ASP pages, i always assumed that
other languages could be utilized in place of VB(yuck))

could you use any other language aside from VBscript
if the client mandates ASP, or is ASP tied to VB/Microsoft?

the reason i ask is becuase i heard about a perl product that
would basically do almost the same thing as PHP (put perl code
in the HTML document, and the server would parse thru it
when someone requested the page)... and i always thought
that ASP was the meta-language that governed the rules
for embedded programming (use  -Original Message-

[PHP] some more about include() and require()

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

include() will only load the file if the include() statement is encountered
during the execution of your script
if (1==0) {
include("file");
}
the file will never be include()'d, since the if/then will always fail.

require() will always put the contents of the file being requie()'d
into your script, regardless if it is executed or not...
if (1==0) {
require("file");
}
the contents of "file" will be placed inside of the if/then,
even though it'll never be executed.

also, include() is evaluated every time it is encountered,
whereas require() is only evaluated once...

**
**From the PHP.net website documentation**

The include() statement includes and evaluates the specified file.

If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default
configuration), you can specify the file to be include()ed using an URL instead of a
local pathname. See Remote files and fopen() for more information.

An important note about how this works is that when a file is include()ed or
require()ed, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML mode at the beginning of the
target file, and resumes again at the end. For this reason, any code inside the
target file which should be executed as PHP code must be enclosed within valid PHP
start and end tags.

This happens each time the include() statement is encountered, so you can use an
include() statement within a looping structure to include a number of different
files.

include() differs from require() in that the include statement is re-evaluated each
time it is encountered (and only when it is being executed), whereas the require()
statement is replaced by the required file when it is first encountered, whether the
contents of the file will be evaluated or not (for example, if it is inside an if
statement whose condition evaluated to false).

RE: [PHP] system()

is there something with the PHP system command that
makes it unable to spawn nohup background processes

perl and PHP are closely related, so i cant really understand
how an external perl program would be able to do things that
PHP couldnt (at least in terms of this specific problem)
would a PHP call to "system('nohup ... &')" fail, or are your
reasons for suggesting an external program based on
something else other than simple feasability?

ive never had to do anything like that before, and im not
on a linux computer right now, so i cant test it myself.

RE: [PHP] Session support in PHP (buffering output to browser)

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

there was an awesome article on phpbuilder about buffering output,
controlling when things got to the browser... so that you could
set cookies/headers anywhere in your script (or, as he talks about,
gzip content on the fly beofre outputting it to the browser)

http://phpbuilder.com/columns/argerich20010125.php3

PS: for anyone who doesnt know about phpbuilder.com yet,
it is a very very good site, full of very very good information

RE: [PHP] Libraries (OT)

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

well, i agree about writing some of my own libraries it helps me
get to know the language and the features that i am using better.

Libraries are a "Good Thing", it's just that i've seen loads of people
ask questions (on other lists mostly, since im new here) about things
that they'd know about if they had rolled their own modules once
in a while.  personally, i feel that it's problematic when a person uses
another person's libraries/modules/code without really understanding
what the code does...

RE: [PHP] mysql problem

[..s.c.o.t.t..]

ahhh... yes...   :)

the linux version is much stricter when it comes
to table definitions... 

i had the same problem trying to declare an INDEX
for my table too for linux, any key that
you use as an INDEX on a table must be declared
NOT NULL (whereas the win32 port doesnt seem
to care very much)...

for future reference, i reccomend trying out your
SQL code in the MySQL monitor (the command line
utility that comes with the server)... generally
the error messages are *MUCH* more helpful
than the ones i get via PHP

Re: [PHP] MySQL execution order?

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

mysql executes the queries in the order it recieves
them, (so if your program's logic executes a select
before an update, you'll never see results from the
update in your select... at least not normally :)

Are you able to access the MySQL monitor program?

if so, verify that the data really does exist
before running your script (maybe the SELECT
is failing beucase the actual data is incorrect,
not the code...)

go into the monitor and execute your SELECT
statement, then run your PHP script... if
the results still disagree, post some more
information...

try @fopen(...)

prepending a '@' to the mysql funcs will suppress error

you could just tar/gzip up the entire tree,
open a regular FTP session and FTP it all over
in one shot.

trying to write the whole thing in PHP is a waste
of time if the sole purpose is to move files as
easily and quickly as possible.

RE: [PHP] Re: How do you keep your scripts secure?

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

since PHP is executed before any otuput is shown to the browser,
all you have to do is keep a server between your code and
the other person.

unless i am horribly mistaken, you can turn off options to
allow people to view PHP source code via their browser.

RE: [PHP] Password Generator?

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

you could try swapping out some letters with
look-alike alphanum characters to make the password
a bit more secure

a=@
s=$
d=&

thus, "password" = "p@$$wor&"

OOooo...

it drives me nuts when i see beginning brackets

i like to start brackets on the same line as the

if (...) {

else {

(it drives me nuts to see  "} else {" also)

RE: [PHP] PERL vs. PHP

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

PHP was started as a suite of perl programs... it is heavily
influenced by perl.  if you understand PHP and are comfortable
with it, you should not have any problems learning Perl.

there are some very important differences between the two
languages that you need to keep your eyes open for, 
things like variable scoping (perl vars are global by default)
and variable prefixes

@varname = array
$varname[1] = item in the array

%varname = hash (assoc. array)
$varname{'name'} = element of the hash.

PHP kind-of smoothes over the perl approach to variables
and makes *everything* $varname, $varname[1], $varname['name']


IMO, perl allows you greater control over a number of 
things that PHP doesn't address, but that's mainly becuase
perl is older and has had more time to  build up funcitonality
and also becuase perl's focus is larger than web-based projects
(so you can use perl to do some things that you probably cant
do in PHP, like create daemons and servers)

all in all, if you know and love PHP, you'll probably find a
friendly home in Perl.  :)

i program in both PHP/Perl, and the concepts are

granted, there are some similarities to C++,

ahhh... sorry.
i thought the history of PHP was a bunch of perl scripts
that were used to keep track of website statistics or
somethign guess i was wrong.

but since you replied, can i ask what influenced you most
when developing PHP?  

personally, i see perl influence everywhere in PHP,
but maybe i'm just not familiar enough with C
to recognize a lot of C influence.

RE: [PHP] Another easy question!

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

it depends.

is it a char restriction that MySQL is placing on you?
e.g. a TINYTEXT field type can only contain 255 chars,
whereas a TEXT type can contain 16MB (or something like that)

if it's a PHP restriction, you'll have to wade thru
PHP scripts to find the function that checks the
length, and alter that function.

however, if it's a MySQL limitation, all you need to
do is log into the MysQL server and issue some
ALTER TABLE statements

well, one idea is to serialize the array and put

or, with no form, try this:

why not just support the =~ binding operator

the learning curve is smaller than most people think...

if you are willing to learn, and refuse to be
intimidated by the reputation that has been built
up around linux, i doubt you'll have any
problems installing and running/using it

in a lot of ways, i think linux is probably a more
"natural" OS for programmers... we're used to big
scary text files where a single incorrect semicolon
can cause unheard of errors in far reaching parts of
the code linux is much the same way... a single
obscure config file can bring down your entire
system if configured incorrectly :)

[PHP] Multiple select box and form submitting

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

i apologize in advance if the answer to my question is
glaringly obvious.

i've got a multiple select on a form and want to
find out *all* selected values.

the form looks like so:


First
Second
Third


when the form submits, $form['category'] is not
an array of selected values, but rather a single
value.  even if i select two or three things,
$form['category'] is still one value.  can
anyone tell me how to get a list of all selected
values in the box?

thanks in advance...

RE: [PHP] Variable question

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

this also works, since you mentioned that you're trying to
get away from evalling an "echo" statement.

$bob = "Roy";
$s = 'Hey there $bob';
$s = '$somevar = "'. $s .'";';
eval ($s);
print $somevar;

prints: "Hey there Roy";

personally, i think that using regexps to implement 
an entire symbol parsing engine to do what you ask
is something that you really do not need to do.

instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, use
the free ferarri that PHP provides you :)

RE: [PHP] conversion script

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

if you're renaming to .PHP, i assume that you'll
be using PHP.  use PHP to solve your problem:

This was taken directly from the PHP.net site:

if ($dir = @opendir("/tmp")) {
  while($file = readdir($dir)) {
echo "$file\n";
  }  
  closedir($dir);
}

as others have said before, "read the documentation".
it really does help.

RE: [PHP] php, snmp, and mibs

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

as someone else suggested... a regexp is probably the
thing you want.

since i have no idea what the format of a MIB is,
i cannot give you any example.


but to find dotted num's, use something akin to this:

preg_match_all('/(\d+)(?=\.?)/', $MIB, $matches);

And even though it's much less elegant than the
solution by Sean below, you could also use 'eval'

 $toast = array("wheat", "rye", "pumpernickel");
 $numbreads = count($toast);
 for ($index = 0; $index < $numbreads; $index++) {
eval("\$column$index = '$toast[$index]';
echo \$column$index . '';") ;

RE: [PHP] Check this out -> http://www.hotscripts.com/webpoll/results.php

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

that's an extremely biased poll... considering that
it's a *scripting* website.  it's only logical that
a majority of people going there would choose a scripting
language (and since PHP is so newbie friendly, it also
makes sense that it has such broad appeal to the
newbie web-programmers at the site)

and besides, a whole lot of people use PHP on microsoft
platforms, so i doubt that the redmond behemoth is shaking
in their boots  :)

RE: [PHP] I need an authentication method that is good... any Ideas? - please help

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

the way i do it for sites that need minimal to medium
is to generate a session id whenever a user comes to
the site.  this session id is stored in mysql table
and as a cookie on the user's computer.  when the
user logs in correctly, the username is stored in
the database with the session ID (not as a cookie, 
only the session ID is saved as a cookie).

i try and make it my goal to never store any usernames
or passwords on the user's computer.  the existence
of the session ID is enough to allow me to look up
that ID in the database and see if the user logged
in correctly in the past few hours (expire time is ~6
hours, so after 6 hours of inactivity, the id is
cleansed from the database)

at the top of ever PHP page that requires a 
valid login, i check to see if the user has
a session ID stored as a cookie, then look up
that ID in the database to check if it's valid.
if the ID is valid, i check to see if a username
is also stored in the database.  if there's a
valid username stored alongside the session ID,
then the user is recognized as being logged in.
if no username is in the database, then i ask the
user to log in.

the session table has these fields:
id (the generated session id)
lastused (last time the user accessed a page)
username (the username that the user logged in as)

(password information is stored in another table)


so... basically, if the user logs in correctly,
it will generate a random session id and store
the username in the database.  *only* the session
id will be stored on the client.

when the user comes back to the website, if the
id in their cookie matches an id in the database
*and* the username field has a valid username,
the user is not asked to log in again.  if the
session id is not found in the database (or is
expired) the user is directed to a login page.


any comments or thoughts on my method are welcome;
especially any weaknesses that you may find in my system.

thanks

RE: [PHP] Encryption Problem

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

quite possibly you did not compile PHP with mcrypt
library support.

for linux distrib's, mcrypt is not default, you have
to specify ./configure --with-mcrypt to get mcrypt
functionality (i dont know whether it's included
by default with the win binary, but i doubt it)

do the phpinfo() thing and see if mcrypt is there.

RE: [PHP] php 4.04pl 1-3 for red hat 7

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

check php.net and read the 'README' and
'INSTALL' files that come in the .tar.gz file
for more detailed information.

very basically, you want to get the sources,
untar/zip them, run configure, then build the
thing and test it (you can do all of this
as an unprivileged user).   then install as
root (or whatever account has the necessary
privileges)

(replace php. with whatever the PHP
tarball is named)

at the prompt (you dont need to be root) type:
tar xvfz php.tar.gz
cd php.
./configure --enable-trans-sid
make
make test


if you didnt get any errors, then (as root) type:
make install

then configure your webserver and
restart the webserver 

if you have any specific troubles, let me know,
i've config'd PHP on three different redhat
linux installations using apache and havent
had any problems yet.

[PHP] Sessions: suggestions and comments

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

what i did was implement my own session class
so that i can have a single session variable ($s)
and have it handle all my session needs via
an OO interface ($s->CleanUp(), $s->Update(), ...)

consequently, all of my session data is in a 
simple assoc. array that's a variable of the
session class (sdata) so i can get to all of
my session data via $s->sdata[...]

i update a value by: $s->Update('name', 'newvalue)
and start the session: $s = new Session( $cookie_sid );

no mucking around with multiple global variables
and such... no registering of variables and worrying
about PHP's internals - just one object (and thus,
one variable) is all i need for session handling.

i dont understand why more people dont use
assoc. arrays for their session needs...
ive never used PHP's built-in session handling
so im not too sure of it's limitations, but
are there any (good) reasons why more people dont
use associative arrays as their session variables?

for example:

instead of having a mess of globals:
$username
$firstname
$session_id
$this
$that

you could just register one variable and
use it as an assoc. array to store all of
the values you needed.  ($svar, for instance)

$svar['username']
$svar['firstname']
$svar['session_id']
$svar['this']
$svar['that']

this would enable you to take an arbitrary number
of variables and cut it down to *one* single assoc
array seems to be a rather large benefit in
doing things this way... so i cannot figure out
why i dont see more people taking this road

--

i come from a perl background, so im used to
using hashes (assoc. arrays) for lots of things.
i get the feeling that not very many people on
this list (newbies, at least) are familiar
or comfortable with assoc. arrays.

any comments are welcome :)

RE: [PHP] How send a file usig PHP code ?

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

send the proper HTTP headers and then output
the contents of the file here's what i 
used when i had to prompt the user for a
download box for arbitrary binary files
(.gif, .zip, .png, .pdf)

you might be able to not tell the browser
the size of the data, but it's best to
offer that information if you have it.

print "Content: $filename\r\n";
print "Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"$filename\"\r\n";
print "Content-length: $size\r\n";
print "Content-type: application/octet-stream\r\n";
print "\r\n";

then start outputting the actual data
from the file.zip

that should work.

RE: [PHP] BSD/GD/PHP/APACHE/SOS

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

i did it for linux.

basically, what i did was to get GD and the other
libraries, 'configure' and 'make' them all

then, go into the PHP directory and tell PHP's
configure script where GD and such reside:

ex: ./configure --with-gd-dir=../gd-1.8.4/ --with-jpeg-dir=../jpeg-6b/ 

somthing similar to that should work

RE: [PHP] BSD/GD/PHP/APACHE/SOS

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

did you compile apache yourself?

try compiling apache yourself and then compiling
PHP as a stanalone-CGI (as opposed to server module)
and see if that helps any of your prob's.

RE: [PHP] sanity check please

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

well, besides the fact that your code is interpreted
and the only data that makes it to the browser is
what you decide to output (or error message, but they
can be turned off/silenced)

i dont see how a surfer could get your PHP source code
via the webserver.

[PHP] compiling PHP4

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

has anyone had trouble compiling PHP and GD on a linux/redhat
machine?? (what baffles me the most is that it compiled
flawlessly on another, almost identical, machine)

could anyone offer suggestions or hints, or perhaps
suggest a good website/discussion/archive that
might address GD-PHP compilation errors?

thanks a bunch.

Re: [PHP] PHP Book Recommendations

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

I agree...

The red book "Professional PHP Programming"
(WROX "Programmer to Programmer" series)
is an exellent PHP book

but, if you're looking for novice level stuff, WROX
also published a companion called "Beginning PHP4".

i was fluent in perl when i picked up the professional
one, and had no problems with it... but i wouldnt 
reccomend it to people with little or no programming
experience... the professional book seems to take for 
granted a grasp of fundamental programming concepts,
if you're a true novice, get the "beginning php4" one
first (and then professional :)

Re: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

i'd use split, to split the value up into an array:

if this is your url
  $url = "/pages/error.php?/pages/login.php?user=scott";

and use this code:
  $thing = split('\?', $url);
  print $thing[0] ." \n ";
  print $thing[1] ." \n ";
  print $thing[2] ." \n ";

output will be:
  /pages/error.php 
  /pages/login.php 
  user=scottx

Re: [PHP] ereg match problem

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

this will work...
(if you wnat to check against any other possible domains,
just add it into the "|" separated list...
(com|edu|cc|uk|org|tv), and so on.

(the following regexp should be all on one line)

preg_match("/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\@([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.(com|edu|net|org|tv)/", $email);

Re: [PHP] Where do i look up return status codes?

[..s.c.o.t.t.. [gts]]

for system("perl test.pl", $retval);
and exec("perl test.pl", $ary, $retval);

the value of $retval is the value that the perl
script "test.pl" returns, (not a perl status code).

as someone else suggested, go and look for
exit(126) statements (or just exit(), if exit
returns the value of a variable, and not the
constant "126") within the perl script and you'll
probably find a little note as to *what* the 126
means...
