[PHP] Sending e-mail via socket

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello everyone,
I've just subscribed to the list, and I already have a question.
what I need to do is to send mail using sockets. Actually, the
built-in Mail() function is great and I wouldn't have to search for
something else if I didn't need more than one message to be sent at a
time. Say, I have ten or a hundred of users who want to receive a
notification about new blog entries. If I use the mail() function in
the loop, it will be performed too slow since it constantly opens and
closes the door, I mean, the SMTP connection.
So I need an alternative.
And here's what I'm doing:

";
$connect = fsockopen ("smtp.yandex.ru", 25, $errno, $errstr, 30); 
if ($connect) {
$out="HELO localhost\r\n";
$out.="MAIL FROM: $from\n"; 
$out.="RCPT TO: $to\n";
$out.="DATA\r\n";
$out.="Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"; 
$out.="To: $to\n"; 
$out.="Subject: $subject\n"; 
$out.="\n\n"; 
$out.=$message." \r\n"; 
$out.=".\r\n"; 
$out.="RSET\r\n"; 
fwrite ($connect, $out);
fclose ($connect);
} else {
die ("Error: ".$errstr." ($errno)");
} 
}

socketmail ("arthae...@yandex.ru", "this is a socket mail test",
"Testing mail sending");
?>

And what I get is absolutely nothing. No errors, no warnings, no
message in the mailbox.
So three questions:
1. What's wrong with my script?
2. How to look where the error exactly is? Can't get server logs for
some reason (will talk to tech support probably).
3. How to do the same thing but with an ability to send multiple
messages without closing the connection after each message?

Thanks!

Hello Rene,

Can't do that since the message is personalized: I need to put in the
user name ("Hello $username") and some other data, so the BCC is not a
solution, unfortunately...

  Sorry Kevin, How do I do that? Excuse me if it's a stupid

Be polite :-D

Make sure your class waits for the other server's greeting
before you send HELO/EHLO.  ;-)

I need to store variables to send then between pages. I don't need the

Here are the pages where I store and retrieve the variables.

Hello Martine,

As you have been already told, the  is not always supported.
However I'd suggest you to do the following (since I love this form of

 «»

 Note: I put within the tag only the variable.

Hello Ashley,

And if the site is full of that code?)) I think it's worth to learn
what's really the reason of the fact that it doesn't work. Besides
that, it's more readable for me.
And the right thing that was said here is the following: check the
php.ini settings and change them if possible.

That's still using short tags. The time you save on typing is nothing
compared to the time you spend trying to figure out why your script
doesn't work since you moved servers, or copied it to your live server,
or why you are having trouble using XML...

Re: [PHP] Re: Web Design

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Nathan, Parham and all,

Actually, I confirm that you can code if
you're blind. Parham, you have probably
seen me on the other accessibility-related
lists, so no need to say that I'm blind
myself, too). I have a chance to have a
wife who is also a programmer and
designer, so we make our projects always
together and I don't bother myself with
the visual things.
By the way, I have looked at Mantis bugtracking system. It seems to me
rather accessible except of the visual CAPTCHA needed during the
signup process. Will think what to do: either to search for another
solution or to modify the code implementing a logical CAPTCHA
developed by ourselves).
Anyway, glad that there are people like you, Nathan, here around.

Hi Parham,

Long term, I would suggest viewing this as an ideal opportunity to move
to strictly back end PHP only; thus negating and skirting around the
visual issues; it is often more fun this way any way!

Jobs such as web service integrations; payment service provider
integrations and similar provide a broad scope and some enjoyable jobs.

Additionally, there are often many good bug fixing and optimisation jobs
that stay well clear of the visual side of output.

I'm sure many will be keen to work with you, I know that I for one do
not view your blindness as a disability when it comes to coding, and I'm
hoping that I'll have the chance to work with you next time a suitable
project arises.

Many Regards,

Nathan

The best of all suggested bugtrackers is JotBug, on my opinion. But it
works only with SQLite databases, and I have no access to such one

Any solutions?
P.S. I'd use Trac, but since I have no own server yet, we have no
access to Python, either... Only Php, MySql, Perl.
I have looked at Bugzilla... seems to heavy for our service).

[PHP] How to redefine a function if it doesn't exist?

Hello everyone,
Sorry, I've forgotten how to do this...
I need a quoted_printable_encode function but it's available only
since PHP 5.3. How do I redefine that function only if PHP version is
lower than 5.3?
Would it be valid:
function quoted_printable_encode ($str) {
$x=quoted_printable_encode ($str);
if (!isset($x)) {
// blah blah, alternative code
} else {
return $x;
}
}
Is it valid code or not?)

Well. I'm not a fan of mantis. Mantis has some annoying bugs and the
codebase seems weird.
It basically works, but that is all about it.


I quote http://sqlite.org/about.html :

So you don't need "access" to such a database.

Subject: [PHP] MySQL query not working!

Hi there,
Here is a snippet of code... that doesn't work for some reason. Please note 
that I have put some

@mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

statements, to see if MySQL gives an error. I receive nothing other than the 
file starting to download. This is supposed to be a file download counter:

[code]
http://www.qwitter-client.net/' . $_GET['file']);
}
else //it's the first time we're adding this file to the DB.
{
$query = "insert into " . $table . " (filename, hits) values ('" . 
$_GET['file'] . "', 1)";
@mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
header('location:http://www.qwitter-client.net/' . $_GET['file']);
}
?>

Re[2]: [PHP] MySQL query not working!

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Parham,

I know what the @ operator does (it stops PHP from reporting errors
and makes it ignore error_reporting() or any INI directives) but I
don't understand why to use it here, with mysql_query() function.

Andre,
The @ operator is used for error catching statements. When you put:

@mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password') or die('Could not 
connect.');

If PHP fails to make a connection, the script execution is stopped, and the 
error message between the apostrophes is given.

And, I found out what the problem was; I should have put:

if (mysql_num_rows($result))

rather than just

if ($result)

Thanks!

They use it for tracking the bugs of their software (obviously):

They have bad documentation but I tested the software and seems to be fine.

[PHP] convert a string into an array

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello everyone,

It's quite simple but I'm still stuck.
What I need is the following: I have an array as a parameter of my
custom function. However, I'd like to allow users to enter a string
instead of an array. In this case (if the parameter is a string), it
must be replaced with an array containing only one item - actually,
that string.
What I'm doing gives me (presumably) errors;
function Send ($tonames, $toemails, $subject, $message) {
...
if ((!is_array($tonames)) || (!is_array($toemails))) {
$tonames[]=$tonames;
$toemails[]=$toemails;
}

I can't give the new array a new name since I address it further in a
loop as my function's parameter... hope you understand what I'm
saying)
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] contant /

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Jack,

I have tons of errors like this and now I'm eliminating them, so I'll
tell what to do:
1. Put apostrophes (single quotes) around the array item:
$auth['company_name'] instead of $auth[company_name];
2. (Just a suggestion) It's better to put the SQL tables and
fields between grave accents (backquotes).

I get a couple of errors like this one for undefined variable:

PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: s_company_name

And this one for undefined contstant

PHP Notice:  Use of undefined constant account_type - assumed 'account_type'

 

I am putting a piece of code from each so that hopefully someone can explain
what I need to do to correct this, I know it still runs OK, but want to
eliminate error/warnings as much as possible.

 

 

CONSTANT CODE:

if($_POST) {

 

 

   if($username && $password)

  {

  f_db_open();

  $q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM uas_users WHERE
user_email='$username'");

  $auth = mysql_fetch_array($q);

 

  if($auth['user_password'] == $password && $auth['user_email'] ==
$username && $auth['account_status'] == "Approved")

 {

 

 

 $type = $auth['account_type'];

 

   mysql_query("INSERT INTO logon_log (user, date, time)
VALUES ('$username', NOW(), NOW())");

 

 
f_put_cookie($auth[user_name],$auth[user_email],$auth[account_type],$auth[co

So the first two print statements generate NO notices, while the second
obviously generates:

Notice: Undefined offset:  1 in /home/shawn/www/test.php on line 11

Notice: Undefined index:  test in /home/shawn/www/test.php on line 12

This sucks.  A bug???

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');


$a = 5;
print $a[1];
print $a['test'];

$a = array();
print $a[1];
print $a['test'];

[PHP] How to do i18n better?

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi everyone,

I posted this in the PHP-i18n list, however got no answer so trying
here).
We are making a blog platform (http://oire.org/) which is provided in
several languages (currently they are Russian, Ukrainian, and
English).
Now the i18n process is made as follows: we set a cookie on the site
and depending on it we select the language to display the site in. We
have three (currently) interface files: rus.lng, ukr.lng, and enu.lng
(for English US). the format is the following:
define ("MSG379", "Welcome!");
etc. I know that PHP does support somehow exporting the strings into a
.pod file. Maybe it would be better to do that? If so, how can I do
it?
Could you suggest me maybe a better solution than we currently have?
Thanks a lot!

Consider checking out http://php.net/gettext - it's the set of
functions in PHP for i18n.

With regards to language switching, you should consider using a url
hierarchy for it, instead of just serving all pages with changing
content.

That's the check I did on the last site i worked on (vicestyle.com) The
user agent string is checked for a language and the site uses that. If
none is found (bearing in mind that there's no hard and fast rule about
what can go into a UA string) then it defaults to English.

Links within the site itself allow the user to change their language
afterwards, and you could store that in a cookie to it remembers their
choice.

Thanks,
Ash

reply to all works, but then we end up with 2 messages, and if you have
your mail client set up to filter mail into folders, then each message
ends up in 2 different places.

I've replied to several posts on the list, and I forget that the reply

unless I send them again.

Subject: [PHP] Security/Development Question

Hi folks,

 

This isn't really a PHP question per se, but could apply to any
language...

 

I have a public facing web server, which we have a software component
that helps protect us from SQL Injection, and the like.

 

We recently have added a very small web application that is vendor
supported. They said it's not working, so I investigated. I found that
our software protection was blocking their pages because they are
actually passing entire SQL queries in their form POSTs. Now, the app is
SSL protected, and they claim the queries are not executed - only
inserted into the database to be used later. They also said it's
protected by the ASP.NET framework authenticationnot sure about any
of that.

 

My concern is passing SQL queries in this way is not best practice - am
I wrong? Please let me know how you would react to this?

 

See below for the stuff they are passing in the POST (obvious things
like table names have been changed):

 

/wEWBQLciq6UBwLEhISFCwLa2223bD3wK3+56LBAKc37iSDEsHMFjpB6o1vHld19wT+Tt3sY
8E&CRITICAL_RESULT&on&Declare @critical varchar (40)

set @critical = (select top 1 code from table where id = 'clr7' and
thename = 'critical')

 OPR_SECD.REC USER_REC_NO,

 RESULT.*, 

 (SELECT RESULT_DESC FROM table WHERE code = RESULT.RES_MSTR_CODE)

OPR_SECD.RECNUM) MBMD_EMAIL,

Just a basic question.
I have my class starting like this:

Class OireMail {
// these are required
public $smtp_server="";
public $domain="";
public $from="";
public $login="";
public $pass="";

And then go the function themselves.
I was told that it's better to put the initial variables in the
__construct() function. What are the advantages of doing that and if I
need to do it, how would I call the class from another file then?

Should I pass those variables as parameters of that function? And what
if I need to change their values?)
Thanks!

The advantages of initializing the variables in __construct() is that 
whenever an object of the class is created, the variables have the 
values you expect.

If you don't put them in __construct(), you will have to create another 
method which will have to be called after you have created the object 
using the new operator.

Ultimately its the same thing, __construct() is called automatically, 
only that's the difference.

stmp_server = $smtp_server;
$this->domain = $domain;
$this->from = $from;
$this->login = $login;
$this->pass = $pass;
}
}

// Let's create a generic email class and supply all the params.
$Mail = new OireMail('Server', 'Domain', 'f...@domain.com', 'login',
'Passw0rd');


// A more specialised version of the class with all the required params pre set.
Class SpecialisedOireMail extends OireMail {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct('SpecServer', 'SpecDomain',
's...@specdomain.com', 'SpecLogin', 'SpecPassw0rd');
}
}

// Let's create a specialised version. Note - no need to supply params
as the sub-class deals with that.
$SpecMail = new SpecialisedOireMail();

var_dump($Mail, $SpecMail);
?>

outputs ...

Re: [PHP] Joomla FrameWork ::

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Nick,

That means that the function SetVar is situated in the jRequest class.
So if you want to modify the function, for example, you need to know
where the class jRequest is situated.

Subject: [PHP] Joomla FrameWork ::

I am trying to understand how the joomla framework works, i see an heavy usage 
of  "  ::  " in its code, here an example:

function edit ()
{
JRequest::setVar('view, 'single');
$this ->display();
}


from my really basic php understanding in the function edit i call a function 
setVar() and i pass the paramter 'view' and 'single' in it then the output 
($this) is passed to the display() function.

My question is what does :: means? an more precisely referring to the example: 
JRequest::setVar('view, 'single');   how do you read it and how do you manage 
it?

[PHP] Inserting rows with missing IDs

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello everyone,
It's not a strictly PHP question, however since I use that with PHP,
I'm asking it there.
How can I accomplish the task of inserting rows into MySql database
with missing IDs? Say, I have rows with IDs 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 17, and
195. How do I make the check that allows to insert firstly the missing
IDs and only then apply the auto-increment?
Thanks!

Nope; they're not. They are blog entries that were deleted along with

Why are they missing? Were they present at one time then deleted? If so,
were they used as foreign keys from another table or referenced in
queries for other data that may still reference those empty rows?

Think about the ramifications of old data in other tables that may be
inherited when new rows are assigned a deleted ID.

Using PHP, you could find the missing IDs by using the following steps.

1 - Get the current maximum ID.

SELECT max(ID) as Max FROM table

If you aren't interested in the ones before the first valid ID then
also retrieve the min(ID).

So you end up with $MinID = 1, $MaxID = 195.

2 - Get all the current IDs.

SELECT ID FROM table

So you end up with $KnownIDs = array(1,2,3,5,9,12,17,195);

3 - Use the range() function in PHP to build an array from the lowest
id (or 1) to the highest id.

$RangeIDs = range($MinID, $MaxID);

4 - Use array_diff($RangeIDs, $KnownIDs); to find the missing IDs.


So ...



outputs ...

Array
(
[3] => 4
[5] => 6
[6] => 7
[7] => 8
[9] => 10
[10] => 11
[12] => 13
[13] => 14
[14] => 15
[15] => 16
[17] => 18
[18] => 19
[19] => 20
[20] => 21
[21] => 22
[22] => 23
[23] => 24
[24] => 25
[25] => 26
[26] => 27
[27] => 28
[28] => 29
)

[PHP] A simple question, however it's urgent

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello everyone,
Just can't imagine what happens. There is the simplest function in the
world:

function LineBreaks ($str) {
$what=array("\r\n", "\n", "\r");
$with=array("");
$str=str_replace($what, $with, $str);
return $str;
}

And... it does work on one site and doesn't on another. Same hosting
provider, same settings, all the same.
When I call
$_POST['uwork']=LineBreaks($_POST['uwork']);
Nothing happens. Yes, it does see \r\n's but it doesn't replace them
with 's. Tried built-in nl2br(), but no result...
Thank you!..

Hey Ash,

I do a print_r($_POST) and see there the \r\n's. Please don't pay
attention to question marks, there is some Cyrillic here:


Original POST:

Array ( [uwork] => 
asdfsadf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdf [lid] => 23 
[stud] => 1587 [sfac] => 3 [stid] => 9 [report] => 0 [Add]

=> ? ?? ) 

Modified POST: 

Array ( [uwork] => 
asdfsadf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdfasdf\r\nasdf [lid] => 23 
[stud] => 1587 [sfac] => 3 [stid] => 9 [report] => 0 [Add]

If nl2br() doesn't even work, are you really sure that those character
exist in the string? Just for our own sake, could you demonstrate how
you determine that the carriage return and line break characters exist
in the string?

You shouldn't actually be able to see the \ chracters, so I would assume
that you're escaping them somehow and magic quotes are getting in the
way on the live server with the problems.

Have you checked the magic quotes settings on both servers. Also, as a
general rule of thumb, if something stops working on a new server, check
to see if the setup is the same. Compare the output of phpinfo() on both
of them first, as that will show you any obvious differences.

[PHP] preg_replace: avoiding double replacements

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello everyone,

Sorry for bothering you again.
Today I met a problem exactly described by a developer in users' notes
that follow the preg_replace description in the manual:
info at gratisrijden dot nl
02-Oct-2009 02:48 
if you are using the preg_replace with arrays, the replacements will apply as 
subject for the patterns later in the array. This means replaced values can
be replaced again.

Example:
 and OLDTAG with the ';

$patterns 
= array(
'/BOLD/i', 
'/OLDTAG/i');
$replacements 
= array(
'', 
'');

echo preg_replace 
($patterns, $replacements, $text);
?>

Output:
We want to replace > with the <>tag> and  with the 


Look what happend with BOLD. 

Is there any solution to this besides any two-step sophisticated trick
like case changing?
Thanks!

Well, for the example you gave, why use regex?  Check this out as an example.

 and OLDTAG with the 
';

$regex = array(
'/BOLD/i',
'/OLDTAG/i',
);
$oldtags = array(
'BOLD',
'OLDTAG',
);
$replacements = array(
'',
'',
);

# Original String
echo $text."\n";

# After regex is applied
echo preg_replace($regex, $replacements, $text)."\n";

# After plain tag replacement happens
echo str_replace($oldtags, $replacements, $text)."\n";

?>

See if that works for you.

Re[4]: [PHP] preg_replace: avoiding double replacements

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Peter,

Hm... I see I need to specify what I'm really doing. Actually, I need
to change the letters in the text. It's a famous and ancient crypting
method: you divide the alphabet making two parts, then you change the
letters of one part with letters for other part (so A becomes N, B
becomes O, etc., and vice versa). it works fine and slightly with
strtr or str_replace... but only if the text is not in utf-8 and it
doesn't contain any non-English letters such as Cyrillic what I need.
What my regex does is the following: it sees an A, well it changes it
to N; then it goes through the string and sees an N... what does it
do? Surely, it changes it back to A! I hoped (in vain) that there
exists a modifier preventing this behavior... but it seems that it's
false(
Thanks!

Use better regexes: either match for word endings or use a delimiter
in your markers (i.e. ###BOLD### instead of BOLD).

You normally want output in the same range that you encode from (i.e.
you're remapping within the alphabet, not within the entire range of
printable characters) if you're doing a caesar/rot13.

Ash,

Actually it's not the Caesar cypher itself (see

your way of transformation seems to me the best for a while)

If you're wanting to use the Caesar cypher (for that's what it is) then
why not just modify the entire string, character by character, to use a
character code n characters ahead. For example, a capital A is ascii 65,
you want to change it to an N to add 14 to that. Just keep n the same
throughout and it's easy to convert back.

[PHP] One more time about regexes

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello everyone,

Sorry, but I'm asking one more time (since it's really annoying me and
I need to apply some really dirty hacks):
Is there a way making preg_replace() pass through the regex one single
time searching from left to right and not to erase what it has already
done?
I can give you a real task I'm accomplishing but the tasks requiring
that tend to multiply...
Thanks a lot!

Re[2]: [PHP] One more time about regexes

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Adam,

You did understand me exactly and perfectly).
Ordering arrays is a good idea but I don't know how to do that
exactly.
For instance, there's a cypher called Polybius square. You write in
the alphabet in a grid like this:
1 a b c d e
2 f g h i j
3 k l m n o
4 p q r s t
5 u v w x y
6 z

There is a way where i/j are equal to make a 5 by 5 square but for me
it's equal since I'm working with a 33-letter Russian alphabet, so no
way to make it a perfect square.
Anyway, a letter has two coordinates and is represented by a two-digit
number. For example, E is 15, K is 21, Z is 61 and so on.
So we have a word, say, PHP. It will look like this: 412341.
What does preg_replace do? Exactly, it's searching 41, then 12, then
23, and so on.
I tried to make a loop:
$length=mb_strlen($str);
for ($i=0; $i<$length; $i+=2) {
$pair=mb_substr($str, $i, 2);
$pair=preg_replace($numbers, $letters, $str);
}

It already smells something not good, but anyway.
If I do that, I have one more problem: say, we have a phrase "PHP is
the best". So we crypt it and get:
412341 2444 452315 12154445
Then the parser begins: "41=>p, 23=>h, 41=>p, (attention!) \s2=>"
I marked a whitespace as \s so you see what happens.
I might split the string by spaces but I can't imagine what a user
inputs: it might be a dash, for example...
Sorry for such a long message but I'm really annoyed with this
preg_replace's behavior. And it's not the only one task to
accomplish...
Thanks a lot!

If I'm understanding correctly, Andre, you want to perform a replace
operation, but you're observing that there's an element of recursion
happening (e.g., you replace one item with its replacement, and then the new
replacement is also replaced.)

To my knowledge, this won't happen with a standard preg_replace():

$string = 'Bil & Tom & Phil';
$pattern = '/&/';
$replacement = '&';
// outputs Bil & Tom & Phil
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);

However, if you're using arrays to pass in the patterns and replacements,
then one array item could later be replaced by another (see comment and
example on this page by info at gratisrijden dot nl):
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

If that's the case, you have to carefully structure the order of the array
items so-as to preclude one replacement having the opportunity to override a
subsequent replacement.

Sorry if I misunderstood.  You might want to create a simple example of code
showing what you're working through.

Adam

Subject: [PHP] Convert UTF-8 to PHP defines

We use PHP defines for defining text in different languages. As far as I 
know PHP files are supposed to be ASCII, not UTF-8 or something like that. 
What I want to make is a conversion program that would convert a given UTF-8 
file with the format

definetext1=this is a text in random UTF-8, probably arabic or similar text
definetext2=this is another text in random UTF-8, probably arabic or similar 
text

into a file with the following defines

define('definetext1',chr().chr().chr()...).chr());
define('definetext2,chr().chr().chr()...).chr());

Not sure if I'm using the correct chr/ord function, but I hope the above is 
clear enough to make clear what I'm looking for. Basically the output file 
should be ascii and not contain any utf-8.

Any advise? The html_special_chars did not seem to work for Vietnamese text 
I tried to convert, so something seems to get wrong with just reading an 
array of strings and converting the strings and putting them in defines.

Re: [PHP] Inserting, storing, outputting dates and selections

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi Dave,

Let's look and see)
1. You can re-format your date so that it will fit the needed format
for MySql:
$_POST['EndDate']=date("Y-m-d", $_POST['EndDate']);

 2. There's a PHP
 function called
 isset() that checks
 whether a variable is
 set. But you probably
 will find this one
 much handier:
if (!empty($_POST['EndDate'])) {
// blahblah, inserting into database
}

3. This is quite simple, I think. You write:
Choice 1
What would you like PHP to write in the DB? It has nothing to write at
all) You should do this instead:
Choice 1
Choice 2

So now you have values to insert)
Hope I could help you!)

Subject: [PHP] Inserting, storing, outputting dates and selections

Hello,
I've got two questions which are probably fairly simple, my issue is
i'm staring at this so long it's blurring together.
I'm working on a form to insert data in to a mysql database. I've got
a startdate and and enddate field in the database both of type DATE,
i'm needing this as i'm wanting to do a calculation against the date
and only display records greater than or equal to the current date. My
understanding is dates have to be entered as 2010-06-02 with this
format.
I'm having several issues: the first of which is I entered a date as
probably a user would as June 2, 2010 and on the display page got all
zeroes, is there a way i can be more flexible with my data entry,
enter it, then store it in the format mysql needs?
My second issue is that the startdate field is NOT NULL while the
enddate field is. On submission I only want those forms that are
actually in the post data to get inserted in to the database, and
displayed, i.e. if enddate was not entered I shouldn't see all zeroes
in the field in the database, if using the mysql commandline client,
or all zeroes in displayed output. I'm not sure how to conditionally
insert or display a field based on whether it's set.
My last issue, not on dates, is on a selection box. I've got two
choices to choose from, choice1 and choice2 just for this example. If
a user goes through and selects nothing I want choice1 to be
automatically selected on form submission, if a user selects choice2
then the form should go with that. Here's my code.


Choose*:

 - choice1 - 
 - choice2 - 



On form submission the php script processes it and enters an empty
field in the database if the user doesn't select an option.
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello Carlos,

Something like this (assuming that the field with the type of the user

$f=mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT `Status`, COUNT(*) AS

Re[2]: [PHP] Do you have some standard for defined the variable in program language?

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello viraj,

As for classes, it's suggested to start a class name with a capital:
class MyBestClass {
...
}

As for functions and class methods, there are lots of people who name
them like this:

function the_greatest_function_in_the_world () {
...
}

Maybe it's readable and great, but I have a little problem: I'm using
a screenreader, so the word "underscore" (and its Russian equivalent)
is too long for me. So I prefer

function TheGreatestFunctionInTheWorld () {
...
}

However, just discussed it with my wife. She prefers the same method
as me, though she doesn't use any screenreading software for
developing.

$firstName is the most readable.. for variables.

does anybody have negative thoughts on using the same naming format
for method/function and for class names?

Semi-safe,

.htaccess is prevented from being served by configuration options (which 
come as default), however these can be overwritten so best to check by 
doing a GET on the resource URI.

This doesn't prevent them from being exposed via other processes though, 
for instance a poorly coded 'download.php?path=/path/to/.htaccess' could 
still expose the file.

Typically, its obviously better to store only a hash of a password 
rather than the pass in plain text, choosing the strongest algorithm you 
can; password security is of course relative though, a sha-512 of 
'password1' is far from secure.

A good way to approach encryption for files is to openssl_seal them 
using a public key which is only available to your application - this 
doesn't negate insecure code, but it at least ensures the raw files are 
encrypted securely enough to negate any of these worries. (just keep 
your private key safe, preferably in a pkcs12 w/a strong 64char+ pass)

Best,

Nathan

[PHP] Making multiple RSS feeds for the blog website

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi everyone,
We are developing a blog service website.
What we need now is the ability to make multiple RSS feeds from
several pages (an RSS of each user's blog, a feed from each timeline -
timelines are our representation of users' favorites; a feed filled
with comments to a separate entry, etc.). What would be great is the
following: a user enters, say, in my blog and sees the mark that there
are RSS feeds. Then he/she clicks the mark or presses a keystroke
(Alt+J in IE8, for instance), finds the feed and double-clicks on it.
Then he/she can either read the feed or subscribe to it. The feeds
have usually file extensions of .rss or .xml.
Question: how do we do that with PHP?
Thanks!

Re: [PHP] Re: Making multiple RSS feeds for the blog website

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Michelle,

Hm. link rel="alternate"... that's a good one, thanks (btw, you say me
that I should RTFM, but if I knew what to read).
Now there are two questions:
1. How do I do those .RSS files with PHP? All of mmy blog entries and
other stuff are in MySql. There are classes that can echo the
appropriate data as RSS, but there will be more .PHP files, not
.RSS/.XML ones. So how do we manage that?
2. Should I make a separate .RSS file for each type of feeds (blog
feed, comments feed, timeline feed, news feed)?
thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am trying to write a simple php page using an sdk. The SDK api contains all 
wsdl files which do all the work.

There's a soap.php which has all the functions and stores the output in 
$response.

My
 php page includes soap.php and a function. The function is handled by 
soap.php and it will get the date from the appropriate wdsl file and 
store it in $response. It is stored in xml format using utf-16.

If
 I run my php page frmo console, I get the output fine. If I run it from
 a browser, the page is empty but if I "view source", the date is there.

What do I need to do in my php page to get $response actually displayed in a 
browser.

Thanks

[PHP] RegExp question: how to add a number?

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi everyone,
I hope you're doing well (haven't written here for a long time :-)).
The question is as follows: I have a regexp that would do the
following. If the string begins with "Re:", it will change the
beginning to "Re[2]:"; if it doesn't, then it would add "Re:" at the
beginning. But (attention, here it is!) if the string starts with
something like "Re[4]:", it should replace it by "Re[5]:".
Here's the code:

$start=mb_strtolower(mb_substr($f['Subject'], 0, 3));
if ($start=="re:") {
$subject=preg_replace("/^re:(.+?)$/usi", "re[2]:$1", $f['Subject']);
} elseif ($start=="re[") {
// Here $1+1 doesn't work, it returns "Re[4+1]:"!
$subject=preg_replace("/^re\[(\d+)\]:(.+?)$/usi", "re[$1+1]:$2", $f['Subject']);
} else {
$subject="Re: ".$f['Subject'];
}

I know there actually exists a way to do the numeral addition
("Re[5]:", not "Re[4+1]:").
How do I manage to do this?
Thanks!

is, all I could think to use was that line of code I just used, I'm not

I noticed that some websites such as

fascinating poll service. And I am just curious about how it prevents user
from polling the same poll for more than once. Or more accurately, I am a
dynamic IP user. And I found that if I have polled once for a certain poll
and after some time, I changed my IP when I got connected to the Internet
again, I cannot poll the previous one for the second time. So I am confused
how polldaddy  can figure out that I
have polled even if I had changed my IP. Is there any way to achieve that?

Subject: [PHP] rewriteTextLinks.php - make URLs in plain text clickable

I'm posting this in the hopes that it will be of some use to someone.

I've put together a little regex function for finding and transforming 
links in blocks of plain text into clickable links while applying some 
heuristics to handle the more common edge cases.

Unlike so many solutions I've found online this one handles more edge 
cases including periods and commas at the end, surrounding parentheses, 
trailing periods on only the domain part, etc. etc.

Re[2]: [PHP] Redirect output to a file on the web server

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Steve,

Btw, the built-in mail() function is to slow to send such amount
of mail. Consider using SMTP (if you don't).

Subject: [PHP] empty() in email message

I have an email message

$msg =  'Name: $fname ' . ' $lname\n'
. "Phone: $phone\n"
. "Email: $email\n"

and it works fine, however in this message there are about 30 variables that 
are being called...as such

. "Order: beefschnitzel $beefschnitzel\n"
. "Order: beefstrips $beefstrips\n"
. "Order: cheesesausage $cheesesausage\n"
. "Order: crumbedsausage $crumbedsausage\n"
. "Order: chucksteak $chucksteak\n"
. "Order: cornedbeef $cornedbeef\n"
. "Order: dicedsteak $dicedsteak\n"
. "Order: filletmignon $filletmignon\n"

I want to only send the message if the submitter enters an amount in the 
form for the corresponding variable, instead of having a bunch of empty 
messages.  So I have been trying to use the empty() function as such:

. if empty($beefolives){''} elseif (isset($beefolives)) { 'Order: beefolives 
$beefolives\n'}

But I am getting the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you

[PHP] Common session for all subdomains?

Hello php-general,
I've got a question: I have a site http://oire.org/. Then we started

How can I manage it in the way so the session valid at

[PHP] About sessions and subdomains

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi everyone,
Sorry, this might be a stupid question, but still.
Once  upon  a  time  I  had  done  so  my sessions were handled on all
subdomains of my website (shame on me for doing so!).
Now, when I comment out the line
session_set_cookie_params(0, "/", ".oire.org");
in  my  header  file,  I got an empty $_SESSION array after submitting
every single form on my website.
For  sure,  signing  out and back in, as well as cookie removing, were
tried several times.
Thanks in advance!

[PHP] Simplifying MySql queries

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi all,
I'm using in my PHP script the following four MySql queries:
$q1=mysql_query("SELECT *FROM`CandidateQuestions`WHERE
`Category`='1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$q2=mysql_query("SELECT *FROM`CandidateQuestions`WHERE
`Category`='2' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$q3=mysql_query("SELECT *FROM`CandidateQuestions`WHERE
`Category`='3' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$q4=mysql_query("SELECT *FROM`CandidateQuestions`WHERE
`Category`='4' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");

and  here  goes the question: is there a way to make these four in one
so  strictly  one  random  question  is  selected from all of the four
categories?
Thanks!

Using an empty string and the empty() function in this way can lead to subtle 
and hard to find bugs - for example if $z = 0, the code will not be executed. 
Note the list of things that are considered empty:

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php

Instead, consider setting the default value for $z to boolean false:

function MyFunction ($x, $y, $z = FALSE) {
  if ($z) {
// do stuff with $z
  }
}

In this way almost any value in $z will trigger the conditional code, 
including 0 or an empty string. The exceptions are FALSE and NULL. If you 
explicitly need to react to a NULL value, use is_null() to detect it. 

Cheers,

Mark

K&R here, unless existing guidelines are in place... CodeIgniter
framework and ExpressionEngine wants folks to use Allman.

I use a programming lang called Objectscript at work, and it will give
an error if there is not space between the "if" and the first "("...
For example:

if(...) <-- errors out.

I have had to learn to put a space in there:

if (...)

So I don't forget, I do this for everything now... I actually kinda
like the breathing room now.

Speaking of spaces, I am not a fan of putting spaces around the argument:

if ( foo == baz ) {

I definitely prefer this:

if (foo == baz) {

More on spaces: I am so glad that most PHP folks I know use tabs for
indentation and not spaces! Oops, did I just go there? Oh no I didn't!

Good thread! Thanks for that link Tedd!

Cheers,
Micky

after upgrading vomn php 5.2.10 to 5.3.0 I get a lot of errors. I changed

The typo3 installation ins still working. 

So - how can I prevent php from printing out this errors on the beginning at

Any Ideas?

In case you're actually trying to test if a variable was passed or not
that doesn't work (as it doesn't detect NULL passed in). Use
func_get_args() as that gives you any and all arguments passed to the
function, excluding defaults.

That said, if you're making use of optional parameters and need to
check if anything was passed in, you're almost certainly doing things
wrong.

Re: [PHP] Submitting data to MySQL database using HTML/PHP form

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello Nazish,

first  of  all, I'd suggest you to remove all of the quotes around the
variables:

mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die("could not connect!");

the same is to be done with the query itself.

Second, add an "or die" to the query:
mysql_query($insert)  or  die  ("Unable  to  add user to the database:
".mysql_error());

This  way  you'll know what exactly _MySql_ says for an error if there
is any.

and third just tiny thing... it's not >? but ?> :-).

Subject: [PHP] Submitting data to MySQL database using HTML/PHP form


  Hi there,

I am creating a login page for my website. The users' information will be
stored in a MySQL database. I have a registration form on my home page, and
a separate file called "login.php" to process the user values. However, the
entries are not going to the MySQL database (however, the values can be
entered successfully using the command line).

I'd appreciate your insight on why the form entries are not making their way
to the MySQL database. Much thanks in advance!

This is the code for the form:


  Username: 
Password: 



This is the code in login.php:

?

It's a simple form which I will develop further once the basic submission
process has been ironed out... Thanks again for any insight!

Hello Nazish,

Try to do the following in your login.php:

$login$password$insert";

 So we'll see the result.

  Thanks everyone! However, when I click the "submit" button, the url simply
moves to http://localhost/login.php (from home.php) and it is a blank page
(apart from asking whether it should remember the password for future use).
The values still do not move to the database.

I included most of your suggestions

a) added mysql _error()
b) different names for the variables
c) removed double quotes
d) changed ?> (silly error!)
e) modified the $insert query

The code now looks like this:




I could insert the values using the command line, and it was updated in
MySQL, but it doesn't work through the form... it just goes to a blank page
on login.php. I'd appreciate any insights on why that's happening.

  Update:

I added "echo" statements after mysql_connect and mysql_select_db to check
where the code was broken. These statements show up on the login.php page
after submitting the form, which means the MySQL connection works. So, the
problem seems to lie with the *$insert *query... ideas?

[PHP] Resizing an image

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi everyone,
Image  processing  is  a part of Php language completely unknown to me
:-(.
So   there  is  my task: I need to process an uploaded image. We allow
uploading  of  gif,  jpeg,  and  png images. If an image is wider than
600px, it should be proportionally resized to the width of 600px.
Yes, I've just read about ImageCopyResampled().
My questions are:
1.  what  are the restrictions of ImageCopyResampled()? Can I make a jpg
image  from  a jpg one, and a png image from a png one? And what about
gif's?
2.  I  don't  need to output the image as the script output, I need to
upload it as a file (replacing the uploaded larger file). Could I make
it with fwrite and then copy it to the server? All of the examples give 
header("image/jpeg")...
Thanks!

  Like every other technology, XML needs to have a use before it becomes
a useful tool. Just using XML because it's available quickly leads to
headaches, as it isn't the best tool for all scenarios (config files
written in XML for instance). That said, XML is awesome for a lot of
things ... however, without having a better grasp of XML you're
unlikely to know whether it'll fit your needs.

If for no other reason, learning XML and related technologies is worth
it simply because the rest of the world uses it. So get to know it,
then you'll be able to actually judge if your project can benefit from
it.

Peter

For config files I would suggest plain text config files - in the style of

key = value

php has built-in functions for reading those, so parsing them is very
fast and easy. See
http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php

I heard of arrays in the following context:

So *that* would be done much better and cleaner with arrays.
$FoosArray=array(5, "orange", 88);
if (in_array($foo, $FoosArray)) { ... }

  how many entries are you talking about, ie., how many conditions?  
Obviously 
if you have more than 4-5 it's going to be easier to code up as a case 
statement (?) rather than an if/else.

Never in all my days have I ever heard of using an array for such a 
determination though.

[PHP] Wiki formatting class or something similar

Hi everyone,
I  allow my users to put some Html into their blogs. I filter it using
a  great  tool  called HtmLawed and written by Dr. Santosh Patnaik (if
you're reading this, many thanks to you!).
However, I would like to give them a possibility to mark-up their text
in  a  more  convenient  way  for beginners (such as Wiki or something
similar).
I searched through http://phpclasses.org/ but didn't find anything.
Could you suggest me something?
And one more question: maybe some of you already have a handy solution
to process smilies? Say, a user writes ":)" and this is replaced by an
image in my directory.
Thanks in advance!

MarkItUp is a favourite plugin editor of mine - will allow you to work
with a lot of different syntaxes and users don't need to know them.

http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/

If you're considering sanitizing html instead of using a markup
language to convert into html, I'd read
http://blog.astrumfutura.com/2010/08/html-sanitisation-the-devils-in-the-details-and-the-vulnerabilities/
before settling on any tool to do the job. Far as I can tell, HtmLawed
isn't actually capable of sanitizing properly, according to the author
- unless it's since been updated to fix the problems mentioned in the
blog.

Peter

Re: [PHP] Custom function

Hello Ashley,

By  the  way,  the  non-last  optional parameter can't be missed, am I
right? In some languages we could write something like:
function test ($a, $foo=50, $bar=true) {
// ...
}

Then call it like this:

$m=test("blah", , false);

meaning

$m=test("blah", 50, false);
This is impossible in PHP, isn't it?

function load_advertisement( $web_page_reference ,

This sets a default value for a parameter, which you can check for
within the function itself and use it if it differs from what you set.
Set it to something that it shouldn't be, like null or something.

Also note that these parameters have to occur after any that don't have
a default value

Hello Grega,

What do you mean by uniqueid(idlog)?

  Can smbd please look  at this sentence - I got an error and do not
know how to fix it - I am still very unfamiliar with MYSQL:

CREATE TABLE log (  idlog int auto_increment not null,  imepriimek
varchar(50),  clock timestamp,  action varchar(30),  onfile
varchar(100), filesize float(6,2), uniqueid(idlog) );

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '(idlog) )' at line 1

Re: [PHP] Bold links

[Andre Polykanine]

Hello tedd,

I'm standing up and applauding you.
Really, I'm... quite touched. There are too few people that care about
us,  I  mean,  JAWS  users.  Of course, we, my wife and I, develop accessible 
websites
ourselves but... there is lots of inaccessible stuff out there.

Really?

How does the blind via readers, such as JAWS, understand what a  is?

First, never use  -- or  for that matter.

Second, use  or  instead. Readers can understand and 
render STRONG and EMPHASIZED text, but not  and  text -- those 
tags mean nothing and that's the reason why they are not encouraged 
for use and even removed from XHTML.

Third, if neither of those tags (i.e.,  or  ) work for 
you, they try using a class (or an id) with a css rule of:

.whatever
{
 font-weight: bold;
}

or

#whatever
{
 font-weight: bold;
}

Cheers,

tedd

[PHP] Short tag: why is it bad practice?

[Andre Polykanine]

Hi everyone,
Many  times  I heard that the following two peaces of code are written
in a bad manner:
1.


2.

Your   e-mail:   
...


As for now, I use both quite often. Why is this considered not kosher,
I mean, good coding practice?
Thanks!

This is always a source of confusion.

http://www.bin-co.com/php/articles/using_php_short_tags.php

 is generally NOT what the short tags controversy are about.

It's the use of   vs. 

While it is true that the 'short_open_tag' directive enables both (for some
stupid reason), the issue is that it's poor form to use JUST  (asp tags).

Using  way

This topic was very heated when the core PHP developers were going to remove
the http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php
