Well, technically, you could do it. You could network the two together, and then map a network path to the files on the other server.

We had a request for this type of setup a couple months ago. The only logic behind it was a guy who didn't have any idea what he was talking about reading somewhere that you should have 3 servers per application you setup. 1. Web Server, 2. File Server, 3.

[PHP] mcrypt warning
Hi All,
I have the following function:
function encrypt ($x) {
$ini = parse_ini_file ($GLOBALS['INI_PATH']);
$td = mcrypt_module_open ('tripledes', '', 'ecb', '');
$iv = mcrypt_create_iv (mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size ($td),
MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256);
mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $ini["key"], $iv);
$encrypted_data = mcrypt_generic ($td, $x);
mcrypt_generic_deinit ($td);
mcrypt_module_close ($td);
return bin2hex($encrypted_data);
}
I get the following PHP Warning in my logs, however, the code executes ok:
[Wed Jul 9 10:25:49 2003] [error] PHP Warning: mcrypt_generic_init(): Iv
size incorrect; supplied length: 0, needed: 8 in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs-uat-retail/include/nocheck.iostream.class.php on
line 87
I have read into mcrypt, tried a couple things, but nothing will get rid of
that error. Could someone show me what I've done wrong?

[PHP] Array Sorting, 2 items...
Hi, Trying to accomplish: I want to sort my array by two columns. The array is setup: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => CHECKING [ba_type] => CHECKING [1] => 10132200 [loan_number] => 10132200 [2] => 1049 [loan_id] => 1049 [3] => MONICA [first_name] => MONICA [4] => MERCHANT [last_name] => MERCHANT [5] => 2003-07-17 16:15:32 [approved_date] => 2003-07-17 16:15:32 [6] => ACH Debit [type] => ACH Debit ) [1] => Array ( [0] => CHECKING [ba_type] => CHECKING [1] => 10154654 [loan_number] => 10154654 [2] => 1055 [loan_id] => 1055 [3] => RICH [first_name] => RICH [4] => LABO [last_name] => LABO [5] => 2003-07-17 16:15:32 [approved_date] => 2003-07-17 16:15:32 [6] => ACH Debit [type] => ACH Debit ) ) What I'd like to happen is first sort by ba_type, and then sort by loan_number, so that I end up with a nice output similar to; CHECKING 101234 CHECKING 101544 CHECKING 101573 SAVINGS 101112 SAVINGS 101224 VISA 101110 VISA 101998 Keep everything groupped together in their respective ba_type, and put the numbers in numeric order. I've looked at usort, and many examples of it.

RE: [PHP] Array Sorting, 2 items...
Hi,
Yeah, I did get it from a mysql_fetch_array(). I have:
ORDER BY
payment_methods.ba_type ASC,
loan_info.loan_number ASC
However, what it does is first orders it by ba_type, then it goes through
and re-orders it be loan_number, not keeping the ba_type order intact. I
would have much rather handled it all with the SQL, but it just doesn't seem
to work. Here's the entire query:
SELECT payment_methods.ba_type, loan_info.loan_number, loan_info.id AS
loan_id, cust_info.first_name, cust_info.last_name,
transactions.approved_date, payment_types.type FROM loan_info, cust_info,
transactions, payment_methods, payment_types WHERE payment_methods.id =
transactions.payment_method AND payment_types.id = transactions.trans_type
AND cust_info.id = loan_info.cust_id AND transactions.loan_id = loan_info.id
AND transactions.trans_type = 1 AND (transactions.approved_date >=
'2003-07-09 00:00:00' AND transactions.approved_date <= '2003-07-22
23:59:59') AND (loan_info.loan_number LIKE '101%' OR loan_info.loan_number
LIKE '136%' OR loan_info.loan_number LIKE '707%') GROUP BY loan_info.id
ORDER BY loan_info.loan_number ASC
Maybe I'm doing something wrong there?

[PHP] just looking for some opinions...
Hi, Just looking for an opinion on how you would do this... Let's say I have a number: 1281924 The rules call for removing "1280+", meaning remove 128 and all 0's that come after it, until you run into another number. In the end, it would leave 1924, and everything else on the beginning would be gone. How would you setup your logic for this? -Dan Joseph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Now, since I'm only about 25% up to par with RegEx, can anyone point me to
a good site that explains them? I've got a couple more things to do on the

RE: [PHP] Opinions on Micro$oft .NET
Hi Jay, www.asp.net is a good site for learning about the ASP side of .NET, its the web application side. Basically Visual Basic for the web. .NET is also C++, C#, J#, and VB .NET. I personally like developing in Visual Studio .NET, but I donno about for web applications. I use to do ASP for a living, now I do PHP. In some ways, I liked ASP better, but in a lot of ways, I like PHP better. Perl was my favorite. I used that at my last position. Anyhow, that'll get you started.

RE: [PHP] Opinions on Micro$oft .NET
Hi, If you're just doing web applications, there is a FREE dev environment right on www.asp.net you can download. Visual Studio gives you added languages like C#, J# and C++.

RE: [PHP] trying to match the front and end...
Hi, > Question: > Where is this number coming from? Couldn't you just use a substr() based > upon it's length and not deal with a regular expression? Its a bank account number coming from a database. We're reformatting it for ACH processing. The number could be: 23408234980423 with a rule of remove 12453 from beginning, and remove 0423 from the end, that would leave us with 2340823498. The rule could also read to remove 234 from the beginning, and 43985 from the end, leaving us 08234980423. The length of the number is also dynamic. I guess I just found it easier to go over it with a couple regular expressions, then got to thinking maybe I could combine it into one.

[PHP] trying to match the front and end...
Hi Everyone,
I've searched the high heavens for a method of doing this... Here's what
I'm doing... First, the code..
$middlenum = preg_replace("/^".$this->start_num."/", "",
$this->ach_acct_num);
$middlenum = preg_replace("/".$this->end_num."$/", "", $middlenum);
In a nutshell, what I want to do is chop off the front and the back.
Example:
I have: 1234567890
I want: 456
I have a start num and an end num. start = 123, end = 7890.
This is working fine as I have it above, however I'd like to combine it into
one regular express, instead of two. Can someone give me an example of
matching the beginning and end at the same time?

Re-reading it, I can see it definitely appearing as one. I just have a feeling that I overuse objects. Sometimes I don't even take advantage of what they can do, and use 'em as glorified functions. I can atleast say it keeps me organized, but then again, if its sloppy in the performance area, I'll probably change my ways.

The one that Mike gave didn't seem to do anything, John's will work if it
can match the beginning and the end successfully. I should probably explain
myself further.
Sometimes there won't be anything to replace at the front, and sometimes
nothing at the end. So it'd still need to do the front and/or end wether or
not they both exist.
Is there a way to tweak these to do that?

Put the connect info into a php file (i.e. connect.php).

RE: [PHP] Opinion on a method....
Hi Jon,
the ini file looks like:
hostip&user&password&databasename
after I import it, I split it up, and assign each to a variable name.
I also have it outside the doc root, and it gives a generic error msg for
every error in the system (db related, or not).
Should this do it?

Does this filename.ini contain the code to connect to your database? If so,
I usually do two things with this file:
1. put it outside the document root, so users can't browse to it
2. put any code that might output something (an error message, for example)
inside a function, so even if it is run, nothing will happen - you need to
include() it and then call the function yourself.
If it's just connection information, with no code (I'm a bit confused by the
.ini extension :-) then just make sure it's somewhere outside your document
root.
> Is XML a solution?
I don't think XML is inherently any more secure than plain text - it's all
down to how you store and transmit the data.
Cheers

RE: [PHP] Opinion on a method....
Hi, Thanks to everyone for the input. Reason I'm not using an include is simple. The file does not contain any variables, it just has a line of text that is & delimited. I guess I was just looking at the include() method as insecure. I can see how it wouldn't be now. Thanks to everyone! -Dan Joseph -Original Message- From: Jon Haworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Opinion on a method Hi Dan, > the ini file looks like: hostip&user&password&databasename > after I import it, I split it up, and assign each to a variable > name.

As Kevin said, why not just use include()?

That a-z0-9 is where you can do it. Just add ! or . or ? to the end:
a-z0-9!?.
Also, if you want upper case letters, make sure you add A-Z:

[PHP] file output, columns, etc...
Hi All, Need some help here. I have to format a line with each piece of the line being a fixed set of characters in length, wether its a mix of spaces and letters, or all letters. Here's an example of the line: 06?4111ABDALARM333 N COUNTRY CLUB CANTON DD8 In this file, for instance, CANTON's space on the line has a length of 13 characters. If 'CANTON' is not 13, I have to fill with spaces. Is there some sort of report formatting functions or osmething I can look at to lay out the structure of the line and then drop in variables to it and have the line format itself w/o me having to calculate the length of each variable and put spaces at the end accordingly?

Its kind of ugly, but its possible to call a php script thru a system()
function in Perl. You could write a php script to do the resize work for
you, and call it like...
system ('/usr/local/bin/php resize.php');
... in Perl. I don't prefer doing these kinds of things, but I guess I
don't personally have a better solution to your problem. Maybe someone else
does?

breakl
}
Under case 0, I'd like to do a few things, and then if a certain condition

I suppose you could do something like:

Store that file outside the docroot. That way there is no chance they can get it from the web site.

A sample of what my ini file resembles is: [mysql_info] host = 192.168.1.1 uid = username pwd = password dbn = database They end up in a $INI array, and the fields are $INI['host'], $INI['uid'], etc..

RE: [PHP] PHP Certification
Hi, > basis is way beyond what any of us have time for and personally I find the > value of such certification programs extremely questionable. Questionable? Did you mean useless? Honestly, I've got a friend with a CCNA, he's sitting in an ISP's call center answering phones. He doesn't have a degree, and no one wants to talk to him. I also have a relative who recruits for Microsoft. They told me that the MCSD is meaningless. On a more positive note, there are several sites that I've run accross that offer PHP certifications. I believe www.brainbench.com is still around.

You have to use the first one if you have register_globals set to off. If you have it on, you can use either, however, the second is more insecure. -Dan Joseph -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Regular Expression
Hi Everyone,
I am currently using this piece of code to validate wether or not an
address has only letters, numbers, #, or - in it:
if (!ereg("^[A-Za-z0-9 #-]{1,20}", $_POST["address1"])) {
$error = 1;
$msg .= "Address must only contain letters, numbers, #, or -.";
}
However, if I put any valid character as the first, and then any illegal
characters ([EMAIL PROTECTED], etc) after that, it passes it as ok. Can someone tell
me
what I am doing wrong with the regex?

It sure did do it. Thank you! I didn't realize that the $ did that.

RE: [PHP] PHP|Con insane pricing
Hi, I know a couple people who put together a Con once. It wasn't a large one, it only took up one hotel conference room, and the budget was kept low. The least he could sell tickets for was $250-$300 (somewhere in there) each. That was without him turning a profit. Now, take into account a con like this one wtih keynote speakers (most likely paid), a large staff, a larger room (and probably multiple rooms), more food, more drinks, more advertising, and $495. That really isn't that bad.

[PHP] printf....
Hi Folks..
printf ("
Search
by Borrower
by Loan
Number
", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
);
I have that code, and I get this error:
Warning: printf(): too few arguments in /home/sites/site8/web/index_test.php
on line 34
I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. I've looked
thru archives, examples, and pages of a book all about printf, and this just
doesn't add up to me.. Anyone see the problem?
