[PHP] php and caching

[Alex]

Hi,

I have a few pages on my site that contains dynamical content that must be
"processed" each time the page is loaded. But I'd also want to allow the
users to be able to use the back button of their browser to go back to forms
and that these forms still contain the information they entered (instead of
being cleared).

Can someone give me a hint on how to accomplish this if there's a way to do
it?

Thanks,

Alexandre Soares

[PHP] Re: php and caching

[Alex]

But my  main page, for instance mail.php, includes top.php and bottom.php.
But top.php must be processed each time because it prints on every page on
my site if the user has new messages. But if all pages are cached, then it's
always the cached version that's printed to the user, so even if he has new
mail, it doesn't show (because the page is directly taken from the cache
instead of being re-requested).
So I don't want this situation to happen, but i'd want users to be able to
make use of their back button without clearing the forms. Is there a
solution around this problem?

Thanks alot!

If the page itself is never cached to force dynamic php pages to always be
"fresh", is there a way to cache only images to reduce bandwidth usage?

Thanks, (and thanks for all your good advices!)

[PHP] Re: $object->function($parameter)->function();

[Alex]

If I am not mistaken, this feature is coming in php5, but is not yet in php4

"Chris McCluskey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message

Hi there, I've been using PHP for about 2 years now and absolutely love
it!  Our company uses it as our main development language, so far
though, there is one thing that has been annoying me for a while now..
the following line of code will not work:

$object->function1($parameter)->function2();

I receive a parse error when i try to call another function off of the
object that function1 returns.  I know this is possible in java:

object.function1(parameter).function2();

VB:

object.function1(paremeter).function2

and i'm sure C++, although i'm not too familiar with that language.

My question is, will or is there any support for this kind of call in
PHP?  or is there another way that i should be doing it?  as for now,
here is my work around:

$tmp =& $object->function1($parameter);
$tmp->function2();

Thank you in advance!

Well, if you really wanted to, you could create a php script, and then have
a meta refresh tag set to refresh the page whenever you want, and then just
leave the page open in your browser :p

[PHP] open_basedir

[Alex]

My host currently has open_basedir() enabled, and unfortunately, they don't
know how to disable it :p

I'd like open_basedir() disabled because it would make my life easier, I can
hide certain files underneath the web root.

So I've done some quick research. I'm looking at the ini_set() function:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

If i have my host insert this line into php.ini, and restart the apache
server, then everything should work just dandy, right?

ini_set(open_basedir, FALSE);
?

the php.ini file is also not user configurable.

[PHP] fsockopen/curl failure, ipv6 warning??

[alex]

Hello.

I'll try wording my question more succinctly in the hopes of getting a response from 
some kind soul.

I'm trying to do a SSL post to a particular secure server, but all methods are failing 
to connect.
curl gives an error 6 = "Couldn't resolve host", and fsockopen (using the 
OpenSSL-dependent ssl://
method) fails with the following warnings in the error log:

   "PHP Warning:  fsockopen(): unable to connect to [secure.host.name]:443
PHP Warning:  fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: no 
address associated
with name (is your IPV6 configuration correct? If this error happens all the time, try 
reconfiguring
PHP using --disable-ipv6 option to configure)"

(I've tried reconfiguring php with "--disable-ipv6" and reinstalling, but I continue 
to get the same
message).

What could be causing this?  Any and all insights welcome!

(Platform Info, btw...
OpenBSD 2.9, PHP 4.3.2, Apache 1.3.27, ModSSL 2.8.14, OpenSSL 0.9.6, curl 7.9.8 -- 
I've installed
curl 7.10.5, but PHP configure refuses to see it even when I specify the path,
"--with-curl=/usr/local/curl" -- it uses the default 7.9.8 install in /usr/local no 
matter what I
do.)

Thanks in advance...
Alex

[PHP] ftp_rawlist problems

[Alex]

I'm writing a script which crawls through ftp servers, retrieving file
listings and saving them to a DB so they may be searched.

What happens, is the script connects to the ftp server, and asks for a
listing of a directory. The ftp server apparentally sends the script the
file listing, but then the script hangs. I have absolutely no idea what
causes the problem.
To combat this problem, I have a loop which keeps looping until ftp_rawlist
actually returns something valid.
 $files = false;
 while (! is_array($files))
 {
  $files = ftp_rawlist($conn, $dir);
 }
That, along with
ftp_set_option($conn, FTP_TIMEOUT_SEC, 3);
Seems to fix the problem for now, but I would still like to know what's
going on.

Please note...
I'm running PHP 4.2.1 as a module with apache 1.3.x on a win2k machine. The
server I am using for testing, if it should make any difference, is
Filezilla 0.7.2.
Also, this problem does not occur every time a directory listing is
requested, but perhaps every 15-20 directories. In any case, which directory
php stalls on is random.

If anyone else has ever encountered this problem, or has any idea what is
going on, I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say :).

- Alex

[PHP] LWP::Parallel in PHP

[Alex]

Hello all!
I am looking for PHP analog of Perl LWP::Parallel.
I need to fetch several URL(pages) from PHP at the same time.
I have a script which fetch 5-10 URL, each URL fetched 0.5 - 2 sec.
Totally it's about 10 seconds in average.
I suppose if I fetched them parallel I would speed up the script 5 times.
I am looking mostly for PHP solutions.
(Hope they exist :)

Have anybody faced with such problem?
Any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated.

Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/first_module.so' 



then , i've tried setting the extension_dir in a .htaccess file..
still , the same result..


i have developed a small module , but I can't use it..
my site is hosted on an service provider , and they don't allow me to copy the module 
to extension_dir or to change the php.ini..


what should I do ?

Thanks

[PHP] download queue

[Alex]

I'm considering start up a small download site with the large amount of 
excess bandwith I have on my site, however I thought it would be cool to 
put some sort of download queue up (you know, so all my bandwith doesn't 
get eaten up when 500 random people suddenly decide to download a 500meg 
 file i've put up.

In any case, I'm once again to the point where I know what I want, but 
the logic of it escapes me. If anyone has ever done this before, seen 
the code behind this before, or knows basically how this would be done, 
I'd be more than happy if you would share your wisdom with me.

Hey,

I've got a script which used to generate a random quote. It worked fine

Say we have 4 quotes with QuoteID's of 1 through to 4
The script would grab a number of rows, and generate a random number
between 1 and this value (being 4 in this case) This worked fine untill,
one of the quotes was removed and another added, leaving 4 quotes once
again, but the last one had an ID of 5. The problem is the Random number
generated is between 1 and 4, so the final quote is never shown..
I tried using the RAND() function in the MySQL statement it's self, but
it's not random enough...
Then I thought of doing this:

Select all the Quote ID's from the DB.
Store them in an Array.
Generate a random number between 1 and the last ID.
If the Random Number matches a Quote ID, then display the quote,
otherwise Generate another
But I couldn't get the code to work. Any suggestions on either how to
write the above, or made the MySQL RAND() function, more random?
how about if ($randnumber == 4) $randnumber++; ?

I've installed Apache2, php 3.0.17 on Windows 2000 machine.

Everything works fine except when I call my script with some extended
characters (from Central European charset - ones with diacritics which

Can't encode them, can't avoid them.

Any ideas?

[PHP] session & obect : session_start and require_once - Incomplete object

[Alex]

Hi,

I have problem accessing object stored in session with PHP.

SUMMARY
*

The doc says I must put the object definition
(require_once("MyObject.php");) before the session starts (with a
session_start() ). If I do that
- OK I can get my object from session
- OK my object is "casted" in MyObject object type

SAMPLE / the problem
***

But my code is organised in several sub-scripts (Object oriented, simplified
dor the explanation) :
The request.php is performed through part_1.php and part_2.php with 2
include calls
- request.php starts the session and do some initialization stuff.
- include("part_1.php")
do some business things here
call some object and try to read them from session
- include("part_2.php")
do some other logic here
end the response sent to the browser

As you already understand, the session starts BEFORE PHP enters part_1.php
and it is too late in part_1.php to put the object definition with the
require_once.
I cannot re organise my php files, since part_1.php is as its own business
logic and I want to use it elsewhere.

The object which is thus restored from session is not "finished". If I do a
var_dump on it I have something like :
object(__PHP_Incomplete_Class)(3) {
  ["__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name"]=>
  string(6) "classe"
  ["n"]=>
  int(1)
  ["sub"]=>
  object(__PHP_Incomplete_Class)(2) {
["__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name"]=>
string(9) "subclasse"
["i"]=>
int(1)
  }
}

instead of
object(classe)(2) {
  ["n"]=>
  int(1)
  ["sub"]=>
  object(subclasse)(1) {
["i"]=>
int(1)
  }
}

It looks like there is a special intermediate object of type
__PHP_Incomplete_Class.
 If another object is an attribut of the session stored object, it is also
incomplete.
If I try to call some methods on it it throws an error saying the object is
incomplete and I cannot call methods or attributs on it.

TEMPORARY SOLUTION
**
What I do actually is making a kind of copy of this object trough
introspection and explicit casting :
$myObject =& convert("MyObjet", $IncompleteClassInstance) ;

But :
- this is not very convenient
- the MyObject must support a constructor with no arguments since the
process of conversion is :
* create a new instance of MyObject with no arguments (new
MyObject( ); )
* copy the attributes of the incomplete instance in this new Instance
  recurse if an attribute is itself another object
* return the new instance

QUESTIONS
***

Any idea about standard object casting in PHP ?
The process between class def and session starting if my session is auto
started (change in my php.ini) results in an error.
Thus I can affirm there is a bug in the session handling of PHP :"It is not
possible to store object in session if we use auto started sessions"

[PHP] format date

[Alex]

I just started with php and am  trying to display a query result for a date
field as mm/dd/ instead of  mysql's  -mm-dd. I looked through some
books and found the use of DATE_FORMAT to covert the dates. Is there any
other way to format the date?

Thanks

My script looks like this:

  $month_1 = ($date_month_1);
  $day_1 = ($date_day_1);
  $year_1 = ($date_year_1);
  $month_2 = ($date_month_2);
  $day_2 = ($date_day_2);
  $year_2 = ($date_year_2);

  $query = "SELECT * FROM tablename where date >= '$year_1-month_1-$day_1-'
AND
date <= '$year_2-$month_2-$day_2'";

  $result = mysql_query($query);

  $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);


echo "Number of records found: ".$num_results."";

  for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)

[PHP] can't get it to work

[Alex]

I'm trying to write code that will return all records found between certain
dates(e.g. 2001-01-30 through 2002-01-30). I created a html form with pull
down menus for both dates but when I try to run it I get a parse error and
can't figure out what's wrong.

Thanks,

Alex

Here is the php code:

$month_1 = addslashes($date_month_1);
$day_1 = addslashes($date_day_1);
$year_1 = addslashes($date_year_1);
$month_2 = addslashes($date_month_2);
$day_2 = addslashes($date_day_2);
$year_2 = addslashes($date_year_2);


$query = SELECT * FROM table where date  >= '$month_1/$day_1/$year_1' AND
date <= '$month_2/$day_2/$year_2';

$result = mysql_query($query);

$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

echo "Number of records found: ".$num_results."";

for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
  {
 $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
 echo "".($i+1).". ID: ";
 echo stripslashes($row["id"]);
 echo "First name: ";
 echo stripslashes($row["fname"]);
 echo "Last name: ";
 echo stripslashes($row["lname"]);
   }

?>

Re: [PHP] Formatting timestamp date in MySQL

[Alex]

Hello,

I just started with php and I'm also trying to format mysql date -mm-dd
into mm/dd/. I looked through some books and they describe the use of
DATE_FORMAT to covert the dates. Is there any other way to format the date?
Thanks Alex

My script looks like this:

  $month_1 = ($date_month_1);
  $day_1 = ($date_day_1);
  $year_1 = ($date_year_1);
  $month_2 = ($date_month_2);
  $day_2 = ($date_day_2);
  $year_2 = ($date_year_2);

  $query = "SELECT * FROM tablename where date >= '$year_1-month_1-$day_1-'
AND
date <= '$year_2-$month_2-$day_2'";

  $result = mysql_query($query);

  $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);


echo "Number of records found: ".$num_results."";

  for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
  {
 $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

 echo "".($i+1).". ID: ";
 echo ($row["id"]);
 echo "First name: ";
 echo ($row["fname"]);
 echo "Last name: ";
 echo ($row["lname"]);
 echo "Date: ";
 echo ($row["date"]);

[PHP] Patch: Specify temp directory

[ALeX]

Hi,

some time ago I created a small patch to make it possible to specify
the temp dir by the php.ini.

It can be found here:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60524
(my latest patch (against 5.4.3) also works for 5.4.11 and 5.5.0a3)

Now I do wonder if anything will happen or if that's it?

I would really appreciate if the patch would be included and hopefully
also some other people.

Regards,
ALeX.

Re: [PHP] Help needed with mysql import

[Alex]

You shouldn't have a default value in an auto increment field. You can set 
AUTO_INCREMENT to 0 and start with 1, but as auto increment is a unique field 
and its automagically incremented, you should not set a default value on it...

Re: [PHP] something about dates in mysql

[Alex]

Just a correction, dates in mysql are not strings by any means, they are stored 
in 3 bytes (date and time or 8 bytes for datetime) and that's nowhere enough 
for a string, however the representation of the date is a formatted string, so 
for all intents and purposes any comparison to a date field should be using 
quotes like mentioned already.

I think the problem is $this->getTable() returns non-object.

There is nothing wrong with using multiply  "->" as long as return-value

Re: [PHP] imap_search ?

[Alex]

Imap remains open after you search and doesn't close until you call imap_close. 
Firstly the code shouldn't be written like that, while should not operate on a 
fail condition of a function exec, that's just bad coding practice and that's 
what causes a loop here. If there are no messages in the email box, imap search 
will return false, and you will have a loop until it gets a message... 

Here is what your scrip does:

First run:
Get all messages
Gets array of messages
Fails while condition
Fetch
Print
Delete all
Exit

Next time:
Get messages 
Gets false (no messages)
Hits while loop where by it will continue to send imap requests until a message 
hits the mail box (your almost infinite loop)
.

Re: [PHP] String eval assistance

I'm not sure as to why strpos does what it does here, at least its not 
immediately obvious, but, a solution to this would be to use a regular 
expression search, it would be more exact, it has never failed me, and it will 
be faster; I recall reading that preg functions were faster at then str ones, 
though I can't recall where...

The function strcmp() simply evaluates two strings and reports back 
-1, 0, or 1 depending upon their  alphabetical relationship.

Re: [PHP] mysqli_query() returns NULL?

[Alex]

If you were to use the proper object form of it, you'd spot the mistake, as it 
will tell you that you are trying to perform an action on a non-object. 

It might be a bug, or the developers might not have cared figuring that if you 
threw it in an if(!...) it would validate as false anyways. But it.might be a 
bug or an oversight. It might actually be falling through some ifs and 
returning the result that was instantiated as null, I dunno...

Hey everyone,

After reading the documentation for mysqli_query(), I was lead to 
believe that on any error it would return false.  However, through a 
stupid mistake, I discovered that when I specify an invalid value for 
the database link identifier (in my case, I accidentally passed an 
integer), instead of false I get a return value of NULL.  Does anyone 
know why?

Thanks!

[PHP] GD error on 4.3.7: fatal libpng error

[Alex]

Hi!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, or if this is a bug or
something I'm doing wrong.

My host recently upgraded to 4.3.7, and since then, GD support for PNG's has
been broken. Accessing GD PNG images directly shows the following error
message:

Fatal error:  imagepng(): gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Incompatible libpng

On my Windows server at home, also running PH 4.3.7, it works fine.

Have I done something wrong or have I found a bug (which I then need to
report in the bug tracker)?

[PHP] Unique ID - again

[Alex]

Hi folks,
I'm using usual md5(microtime()); to create IDs, but now I've encountered a
problem with that. I need to create explicitly 6 digit unique
number(decimal). Yes, I know I can use for/while loop to fill a string with
digits, but is it ABSOLUTELY sure that the random will never return same
number when seed is microtime()? It is very important as the number will
identify a bank transfer...

Is there any other way than checking with all previous IDs? Or some MySQL
function to do this for me?

thank you
Alex

[PHP] notice prevents setting cookie in 4.3.0RC2?

[Alex Pukinskis]

I've been having trouble with a script that works fine in 4.1 and
4.2.3, but doesn't work in 4.3.0RC2.  It seems that if your script
generates a php notice (which is logged, not displayed to the screen)
something gets output anyway; this prevents setting cookies.  Here's
the simplest example I could come up with:



Since $undefinedVariable is undefined, we get the following in the
server log:

PHP Notice:  Undefined variable:  undefinedVariable in
/home/www/dev/pLogin.php on line 2

which is fine; unfortunately, it's followed by:

PHP Warning:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
in /home/www/dev/pLogin.php on line 3

This shouldn't happen because display_errors is set to Off (which to me
means that nothing should be output to the user when there is a notice.

Can someone who's running 4.3.0RC3 try this script? (You probably have
to make sure error_reporting  is set to  E_ALL).  If this has been
fixed in RC3, it should say "Cookie set".  If it says "Could not set
cookie", it seems to me like this bug should be reported.

By the way, is there any easy way to see what's changed in pre-release
versions of PHP, short of digging through the CVS logs?

[PHP] Can I Copy a directory using PHP?

[Alex Ciurea]

Hello,

I want to write a script that makes a backup of a database directory.

Actually, to copy all database files to another directory.
I've figured that I have to use the "copy" function of the PHP, but the
function doesn't works only with files?



Is it possible to copy the entire directory to another location, using PHP?
I presume that is more "resource-friendly" than to copy the directory
file-by-file.


Thanks and best regards,
Alexoiul

[PHP] Need some help in "exec"-attack

[Alex Ciurea]

Hi all,

this is my situation:
I want to execute some comands using 'shell_exec':

$command=shell_exec("ls -la /usr/dest_dir;cp -R /usr/source_dir/1.php
/usr/dest_dir;cd /usr/dest_dir;ls -la");
echo "$command";

Actually, these commands:
1)ls -la /usr/dest_dir
2)cp -R /usr/source_dir/1.php /usr/dest_dir
3)cd /usr/dest_dir
4)ls -la

This is what I get:

total 8
drwxr-xr-x2 mysqlmysql4096 Jan 13 13:29 .
drwxr-xr-x   18 mysqlmysql4096 Jan 13 12:25 ..
total 8
drwxr-xr-x2 mysqlmysql4096 Jan 13 13:29 .
drwxr-xr-x   18 mysqlmysql4096 Jan 13 12:25 ..

the first 3 lines, before the 'cp' command
the last 3 lines, after the 'cp' command.

As you can see, no changes.

I've looked in the logs of the apache webserver and i've found this line:

cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/dest_dir/1.php': Permission denied

Note: source_dir and dest_dir are both owned by mysql

Another thing :

cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/dest_dir/1.php': Permission denied

The path begin with a back tick . Is that normal?

Re: [PHP] Need some help in "exec"-attack

[Alex Ciurea]

:( Yes I've realised that.

It seemed to me that is more efficient to make a copy of that files, rather
than a mysqldump.

but Yes, in order to access files of the mysql directory, I have to give to
the webserver all the rights, solution that I don't aproove, for security
reasons.

Oh, I get it Jason,

it's okay the idea of mysqldump


Now i see it's more efficient mysqldump rather than my stupid thought.

[PHP] PHP 4.1.2 session problem

[Alex Shi]

Hi,

I am sure at least I was not a newbie in the topic I am talking about.
But this problem made crazy. I was hoping for a bit of help please.

The problem is: you have to make double correct logins to get into 
the session protected area. Here is the situation:

1. server configuration:
PHP 4.1.2,
Rapidsite/Apa/1.3.26 (Unix),
FrontPage/5.0.2.2510,
mod_ssl/2.8.10,
OpenSSL/0.9.6e 

2. the the login script:


3. in the session protected area, each php file must be added with
following code at very begining:



Again, with the script above, the problem is: you have to make 
double correct logins then you can get into the protected location.

The similar scripts have been used in many different projects but 
only this one get so weird result. So I would prefer to say session 
behaviour on this server is abnormalHowever, I do hope I myself 
made something wrong thus the bug is possible to be fixed...

Thanks for any help in advance!

[PHP] text to image

[Alex Shi]

Hello,

I am thinking to create php script to dynamically convert a text string to
image. My questions are:

1. with a given text string, say "hello, world", is it possible to
dynamically
convert it to an image? and what php built-in functions can be utilized?
2. if I want to use true-type verdana font, can I just upload the windows
font file to the web server (linux) and use php to load the font?

Thanks in advance!

[PHP] recursion?????

[Alex Davis]

Ok ... here is the sitituation... I am creating a registration form.
What I have so far works ... the user registers using this form and the
form calls another page that will check the validity of the data
(checking for username availability, etc...). If there is an error,
display the error and have the user GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN <- This is
the problem I want to fix.

What I want to do is have the registration form, on submit, check the
data validity right then, if there is an error, redisplay the form with
an * next to the field that is incorrect. This way the user does not
have to go back and try again, it will be there in front of them.

Basically, have the form action call itself  hince the recursion.

Any suggestion/examples?

Thanks,

-Alex

[PHP] again, dynamic image of text string

[Alex Shi]

Hi,

I am using following script to generate a dynamic picture from 
a text string. It works fine for both my developing server and the
application server (a virtual host). Both server are Linux RH. 



The ImageString utilizes a php built-in font to generate image. 
However if replace this function with ImageFtText() (see the 
commented line), it will get error on both servers. 

On my developing server the error is "no ttf support". I checked 
phpinfo and in the GD section it says it does not have ttf support, 
so I would assume a recompiling with ttf support will resolve the 
issue.  

On the application server since the server API is CGI but not 
Apache, all type of errors will be shown as 500 internal error. 
I checked the phpinfo in its GD section ttf support is enabled. 
I tried several different types of fonts but all get same error. 
I found those font files from windows and uploaded them to the 
server. I don't if the Windows fonts could work for Linux.

[PHP] Is this an unique user name???

[Alex Davis]

Ok... I am trying to have this registration page search a table in a db 
to find out if the user name supplied is unique. Here is the syntax that 
I used but it does not seem to work:


.

$var_UserName = addslashes($_POST['User_Name']);

.

$query  = "SELECT * FROM company_info WHERE UserName = '";
$query .= $var_UserName."'";

$result = mysql_query($query);

// This is where the problem come in... I tried these two options, both
// failed.

//Opt1
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

if( $num_results > 0 ) //this user name is not unique
{ // exec the error methods }
else
{ // add record to db }

[PHP] PEAR AUTH :: Need some advice

[Alex Piaz]

Hi Folks!

I am working with pear auth package in order to authenticate some users on 
a project.

Well, I have a mysql table with the following columns:

uid
username
password
name
I can authenticate the user against his username/password without problems, 
but I need also to include the uid, name and age on the session generated 
by Auth. The only data I get is:

Array
(
[auth] => Array
(
[registered] => 1
[username] => geddylee
[timestamp] => 1047172433
[idle] => 1047172433
)
)

The desired results should be:

Array
(
[auth] => Array
(
[registered] => 1
[username] => geddylee
  [uid] => 2112
  [name] => Gary Lee Weinrib
[timestamp] => 1047172433
[idle] => 1047172433
)
)

I read the docs and the mailing list archives, but find nothing about it.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] ob_start -- output buffer problem

[Alex Lance]

Hi all,

to quote from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php

> void ob_start ( [string output_callback])
>
> An optional output_callback function may be specified. This function
> takes a string as a parameter and should return a string. The function

My callback function does not get called unless I manually call
ob_end_flush().

I'm not interested in calling ob_end_flush() at all,  I want my callback
function to be called "when the output buffer is flushed to the browser
at the end of the request" so the question is why isn't this happening?

here's my example:

msg("got to initialize");
}

function finish($page) {
$this->msg("GOT TO FINISH!!!");
return $page;
}

function msg ($msg) {
$msg = "\n" . exec("date") ." ::: ". $msg;
$fp = fopen($this->msg_file, "a") or die ("cannot open ".$this->msg_file);
fputs ($fp, $msg, strlen($msg)) or die ("cannot write to ".$this->msg_file);
fclose($fp);
}

}

?>


But if ob_end_flush() IS called then the error log WILL have the "GOT TO
FINISH" message.

Any ideas on why the output is not being flushed automatically?
thanks
Alex

[PHP] How to set a timeout limit for a call of a connection?

[Alex Shi]

Hi,

I have a script in which there is a call to open a remote file:

fopen ("http://www.somewhere.com/file.php?foo=bar";, "r");

Sometimes if www.somewhere.com is down, it will stuck at the function
for very long a time. I hope to setup a timeout limit for this function
(just
this), so that it won't stay very long to wait for a result, but just quit
if the
call take a time longer than timeout limit, and then go on for next steps.

Thanks in advance!

I checked the manual. From the example, it is apparently that timeout only 
works for the handle setup by fsockopen, but not for fsockopen itself.

I have found that to make sure it works with all browsers you want to put
quotes around the filename in the content-disposition header.

header( "Content-tpye: application/zip" );
header( "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"yourfile.zip\" );
readfile( "/path/to/yourfilname.zip" );

the reason I say this is because without the quotes, some browsers insert
a "[1]" or something similar without them.

Re: [PHP] This line does not execute...

[Alex Ciurea]

Ok Tod, this is what I understood so far:

1) image.php should generate for you a barcode;

2) you placed an echo statement inside image.php and nothing happens

Marek have good ideea: try to see the html source code, the code that is
interpreted by your browser.

the executable file ./image.php probably don't run.
try to see, from your shell (i think you use linux) if u can run a php
script. e.g.:  ./myscript.php

There is no way to tell if the download completes, I don't think, that is
a client side thing that if you send the content-length header it should
know if the file downloaded successfully or not, the browser does not send
a "success" signal back. Also, if you put quotes around the filename in
the Content-Disposition header, it will save the file with the exact
filename you specify, the RFC doesn't specifiy that it has to be this way,
but I have found that putting quotes around it makes it work for pretty
much any browser I have tried.

For your other problems, I would deconstruct them one by one and try and
get a piece of it working and then put the pieces together, it sounds like
you are trying to get too much done in one pass and it is causing you
problems.

Cheers,

The problem with is_numeric() is that something like "4e4" comes up as
true, because it could be construed as a HEX value.

You can unset the variable www.php.net/unset but also I would recommend
using if(!isset($variable)) instead of just if(!$variable) its a little
more clear as to what you are really trying to see I think.

or, if u realy want to use the print function, try this:

>>>>>>
print("$myString", %s);
>>>>>>

Re: [PHP] is my server working

[Alex Ciurea]

oh, I see. My bad, my mistake...

I also have had problems with apache/php in the past. The apache couldn't
parse the php files. All the php tags were interpreted as normal text and
displayed to the browser.

So, try :
>>>>>>
phpinfo();
>>>>>>
into one of your php files.

it should work if your apache/php server is configured properly.


Good luck!

Yes I believe this is an excellent solution for MS planforms...
But how about UNIX/Linux/FreeBSD based applications?

[PHP] conditional image generation problem

[Alex Maslov]

Hi,

I have a problem with conditional image generation. If I generate an
image without any conditional statments, then everything works fine. But
if i introduce conditional statment, then no image is generated in
either case of the condition.

Has anyone dealt with this dilema before?

Thanks in advance,
alex

P.S.

I am generating a hit-counter image.

The set-up is very basic:
if admin looks at the page, then image should be generated and displayed

if anyone else loads the page, no image should be generated.

my code goes smth like this:

[PHP] Preg replace & Query Problem

[Alex Beauclair]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with preg_replace and a mysql query. Here's my code :

$query = $db->query("SELECT style FROM ".$table_styles." WHERE id = '1'");
$r = $db->fetch_array($query);
$style_1 = $r[style];

$query = $db->query("SELECT id, name, description FROM
".$table_categories."");
while($r = $db->fetch_row($query)) {

 $category_id = $r[0];
 $category_name = $r[1];
 $category_description = $r[2];

 $style_1  = preg_replace('/\[url\]/', "index.php?catID=$category_id",
$style_1);
 $style_1  = preg_replace('/\[title\]/', "$category_name", $style_1);

 echo "$style_1\n";
 echo "\n";

}

This is the schema for $table_styles

++-+-+--
---+
| id | name| description
| style |
++-+-+--
---+
|  1| Title Links | The style for the title links on the main page.
| [title] |
++-+-+--
---+

This is the schema for $table_categories

++--+--+---+
--+
| id | name | description
| picture  | comments |
++--+--+---+
--+
|  1 | PHP  | PHP is a powerful open source language. | icon3.gif   |
0 |
|  2 | ASP  | ASP is microsoft's dynamic web language.| icon2.gif  |
0 |
++--+--+---+
--+

The script should loop and replace [url] and [title] with the relative id
and name from $table_categories, however when it is run, it gives out :

I'm really not sure what's going on, can anyone help me ?

[PHP] Update of the problem w/ code - conditional image generation problem?!

[Alex Maslov]

Thank everyone for suggestions.

I followed through on them but unsuccessfully. I looked for any mistake but
couldn't find it. I tried commenting out lines in chunks and one by one,
without any effect.

the problem stays the same, if the conditional statement is present then image
is not generated, otherwise the code works and is generating an image.
Also, the image is generating only in Netscape browzer?! Internet Explorer
does not display the image at all, never, with or without conditional.

Is their some trick i need to know to display images both in netscape and
iexplorer?

if smone would give it a shot i would be very thankfull! thnks in advance for
your help.
