[PHP] User/Group rights system?
Hello, Does anyone know of an open source "user/group" based permission system built with php/MySQL? That is, the effective rights for any user on a specific secured object are computed from various permit/deny permissions assigned to the user or any of the groups he/she belongs to. PEAR::Auth seems only to support basic user authentication. Thanks, David __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[PHP] Clean Open Source PHP extranet app?
Hello, I am looking to create a simple "extranet" type application similar to http://www.basecamphq.com/ written by 37signals. Basically I just need a way for users to share files/projects/messages. In fact, I would just go ahead and pay for Basecamp except that it's closed source and it's only available as a hosted service. (??!?) Is there a similar open source application written in PHP/MySQL? Googling for such a project just returned a bunch of PHPnuke/Portal type applications. Not at all what I need. Any ideas? Thanks, David __ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!

[PHP] passthru() problem
I'm trying to get the output of a shell command with PHP This is the command I'm Trying to execute, I also tried using system instead of passthru Both cases "passthru" and "system" Outputed "2" but should have outputted something like this: standalone FTP daemon [17899]: 21852 geiri[ 4h45m] (n/a) STOR /UPLOAD_HERE/moviemusic/The Soprano's - Music from the HBO Original Series KB/s: 143.87 client: client.client.de [12.2.2.3] server: 62.145.135.125:2121 (shiiit.serbinn.com) location: /MP3/ Music/ Any Idea about what could be wrong
[PHP] POSIX seteuid and similar
Hi, I am trying to create a small php program where I can control users processes. As far as I see I require Apache to run as root in order to do this (Note: I wish to access it via a webpage run through a browser). At the moment all pages are executed as user 'apache' (UID #48 in this case). Other than giving apache root access which i hear is a very bad thing to do, what other ways can i use the posix_seteuid() functions and the like. Any help at all will be really appreciated.

Re: [PHP] [Newbie Guide] For the benefits of new members
I believe in community and helping people out, if someone is struggling then I try to help. When you have been developing for several years it is much easier to produce code as you have the experience and also the tools. Someone who is just starting to learn a language it is hard to understand what to do, and probably scared of trying new things. To have someone provide a bit of code to help, gives someone confidence to move on. I also have to product code quickly and sometimes I do not know where to start, manuals are a start, but usually they do not give the code to do specific things. My process is: - Look in a manual Search the web PHP websites and newgroups Then post on a newsgroup My thought is someone out there has had a simular problem, and solved it, then hopefully they will share the solution.

If they've done all the steps in the proposed message, then it tells you to send a message explaining where you're at to the list. While it can be pretentious to send someone to the manual if they say "I read the manual, I can't figure it out", if they haven't even tried doing it for themselves yet, then it's a very viable first recommendation. Not to mention that there's MANY different points of views on many different topics in the list archives that very few people seem to search. Someone should always try to help themselves first before they start asking other people to do the work for them. It's just laziness to not even try before asking.

It's presumption that everyone will understand the way the manual is worded. There have been times when it's confused me and I needed another perspective on the topic.

Those who do not want to be bothered just filter out the [Newbie Guide] mails. Please feel free to add more points and send to the list. 1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual first. You can download a copy and use it offline also. 2. If you can not get answer here try http://www.google.com next. Try searching for "php YOUR QUERY" and you may be lucky to get an answer within the first 10 results. 3. Glancing through the list archive at http://www.php.net/archives, should answer almost all common problems. 4. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable, sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1,2 & 3) and ask for help in the list. 5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A Question" etc. 6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replyting to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message.

[PHP] strtotime no longer accepting many dates?
I recently upgraded my system, and all of a sudden strtotime won't handle a
date/time prior to the unix start microtime..
For example echo strtotime("1965-01-01"); returns a -1 (e.i. invalid
date/time format). According to the PHP4 docs:
Note: The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901
20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (These are the dates that
correspond to the minimum and maximum values for a 32-bit signed integer.)
But dates between 1901 and 1969ish don't work anymore... Is there another
date function to convert a date to a negitive unix timestamp??? Please help.
Thanks David

[PHP] how to trap eval error?
Hi,
i am new to this list as well as to PHP. i am in a situatin where i want to
eval a string like:
eval('$return = $function($input);');
where $function is a string specify a function to call and $input is the
input parameter for the function. $return is just whatever is returned by
the $function. my problem is that if $function is NOT defined anywhere, i
got a fatal error like:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ...
does anyone who how to trap this error if it can be trap at all? what i have
done so far is something similar to:
set_error_handler('myHandler');
eval('$return = $function($input);');
that doesn't seem to work at all as 'myHandler' is never called. i have
alose tried to check $php_errormsg but that doesn't seem to be helpful as
well. as a last resort, i tried:
error_reporting(E_USER_ERROR | E_USER_WARNING | E_USER_NOTICE);
set_error_handler('myHandler');
eval('$return = $function($input);');
that does seem to make the error stop appearing but my handler is still not
called. any idea?
thanks!

thanks for the tip but i am sure you mean:
eval("\$return = \$function(\$input);");
otherwise the variables gets expanded before they get to eval and i end up
with a syntax error. i found a solution (hopefully) with:
if(function_exists($function)){
eval('$return = $function($input);');
}else{
// function does not exists
}
which works quit nicely for now. not sure if that's a good thing to do.
thanks!

Midgard is not exactly a layer above PHP, it's an extension to PHP, exactly like the session extension, or the gd extension. Here is my own point of view (far from objective, cause I'm from the Midgard team ;): Midgard is a CMS, like MySQL is a DBMS. MySQL has it's own module in php4/ext, as well as pgsql, oracle, etc... That gives users the choice of what DBMS they can use with PHP. I don't mind *at all* if Zope, or Websphere or whatever other CMS has its own module in php4/ext (in fact, that would give users more choice, thus that'd be better).

[PHP] eregi_replace help!
Hi,
I have a rather annoying eregi_replace which I can't get to work.
I have a string, $page which contains a webpage. In the page links are
denoted like so:
###LINK###Link Name###URL or Section###ELINK###
There are a number of these in $page.
I need to use eregi_replace() to replace the above string with a proper
link:
Link Name
Not too bad, right?
However, If need to do some manipulation on the "URL or Section" bit.
If it is a URL (begining with "http://";, "ftp://";, etc) then it just needs
to be put there, ie:
###LINK###PHP###http://www.php.net/###ELINK### = http://www.php.net";>PHP
But if it is a section on the site like this:
###LINK###Hello###Main.Section 1.Section 2.Hello World###ELINK###
It need to be replaced with this:
Hello
Here is the rather long (an not working) eregi_replace call I have:
$page = eregi_replace("###LINK##(.*)(.*)###ELINK###", "http://";, \\2) ? trim(\\2) : (strtolower(str_replace("\\",
"_", eregi_replace("(/|
|:|\*|\?|<|>|\|)","_",trim(\\2.".php")).">\\1", $page);
1. I dont think the regular express is really right
2. I'm getting the message "Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\'
(ASCII=92) state=1 in c:\users\david\help\www\generate.php on line 24"
serval times, which is the above line.
Any ideas on how to make this work would be great! Thanks!
Regards,
David

[PHP] Loop an INSERT 10 rows from a Form
The form is no problem but how do INSERT 10 ROWS with one insert
statement. I figure some kind of loop like I did with the form.
When form is submitted:
$query = "INSERT INTO songs VALUES ('$id',
'$songname','$rating','$video', '$album_id', '$movie')";
$result = mysql_db_query("movies", $query);
if ($result) {
// worked
This is the form:
ID:size=3>
Songname:
Rating:
Video ID:
Album ID:size=2 maxsize=3>

[PHP] Problem Inserting Array of Rows from form
I am trying to insert an array of rows or values from a PHP form into a
MySQL database. There are six columns in the table songs: id, songname,
rating, video, album_id, movie.
Here is what I get when I submit the form
Add songs for Record Array
INSERT INTO songs VALUES (' 1, blah', ' ***', ' 45', ' 2', ' ')
id[0]=: 2 this is debug code
INSERT Failed, check the code.this is debug code
The problem seems to be with this part:
for ($i=0; $i<= $songsinalbum; $i++) {
$vals .=", ('$id[$i], $songname[$i]', '$rating[$i]', '$video[$i]',
'$album_id[$i]',
'$movie[$i]')";
}
// $vals=preg_replace("^,", "", $vals);
$vals=preg_replace('/^,/', '', $vals); // chop leading comma
Complete code:
When the user presses submit on the form this part executes:
mysql_connect("192.168.0.1", "mysqluser", "mypassword");
$vals=' ';
for ($i=0; $i<= $songsinalbum; $i++) {
$vals .=", ('$id[$i], $songname[$i]', '$rating[$i]', '$video[$i]',
'$album_id[$i]',
'$movie[$i]')";
}
// $vals=preg_replace("^,", "", $vals);
$vals=preg_replace('/^,/', '', $vals); // chop leading comma
$qry="INSERT INTO songs VALUES $vals";
echo $qry;
$res=mysql_query($qry);
Here is part of the form:
ID:
Songname:

Re: [PHP] Problem Inserting Array of Rows from form
I did add mysql_error which helped me solve part of the problem: I was missing a
single quote in the $val line after $id[$i] and before songname : Here is the
corrected code but there is still a problem,
$vals .=", ('$id[$i]', '$songname[$i]', '$rating[$i]', '$video[$i]',
'$album_id[$i]',
'$movie[$i]')";
old code was:
$vals .=", ('$id[$i], $songname[$i]', '$rating[$i]', '$video[$i]',
> '$album_id[$i]',
Now the problem is it only inserts one row into the table, when there should be
more than one row inserted.
Here is the updated code and a sample entry:
Songname:
Results:
Add songs for Record Array
2INSERT INTO songs VALUES (' 2', ' test', ' ***', ' ', ' 1', ' ')MySQL error 0:

Re: [PHP] Re: Problem Inserting Array of Rows from form
I will try without single quotes for the id and other fields which have numeric
values. For the original issue I was missing two single quotes. I was missing
a
single quote in the $val line after $id[$i] and before songname : I really
don't need the quote for id since it is a numeric value. Here is the
corrected code but there is still a problem,
$vals .=", ('$id[$i]', '$songname[$i]', '$rating[$i]', '$video[$i]',
'$album_id[$i]',
'$movie[$i]')";
old code was:
$vals .=", ('$id[$i], $songname[$i]', '$rating[$i]', '$video[$i]',
> '$album_id[$i]',
Now the problem is it only inserts one row into the table, when there should be
more than one row inserted.

[PHP] Pass variables with PHP_SELF?
How do you pass a variable that was passed from one form to another form and then to PHP_SELF? The first part works fine: I passed a variable from one form to another page with a form using blah.php?id=$id&songsinalbum=$songsinalbumbut when someone submits the second form the value of $songsinalbum is not passed when using PHP_SELF. Do I have to pass to another page? I want to use PHP_SELF -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] cURL - Error 400
Hi I was wondering if anyone could please help me with this cURL script since I keep getting error 400 from the web server: http://pastebin.ca/1392840 It worked until around a month ago which is when they presumably made changes to the site. Except I can't figure out what configuration option in the cURL PHP script needs to be changed. I can visit the site perfectly in Lynx, Firefox and IE. Thanks
Re: [PHP] cURL - Error 400
Except I also need to POST data to the server to login. After I've logged in, I then need to use cookies to maintain a session. Doing that via file_get_contents() just isn't possible.

Re: [PHP] cURL - Error 400
Hi,
Sorry, that didn't work. The website is still returning error 400 with
CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION and CURLOPT_COOKIE enabled.
I did some experimentation in Firefox by blocking and deleting all cookies
from the site. When I then visited the site, I was able to reach the logon
page without returning error 400 so I doubt it's cookies that is the
problem.
I also tried changing the HTTP headers to:
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Which didn't work either.
Thanks

Yes, I've already tried CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION. I believe it was included it
in the code I initially uploaded to pastebin.ca.

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that it doesn't require a referring site.

[PHP] change database from mysql to mssql
Hi all I have been using mysql as the database for my PHP application. Now my manager ordered me to use Microsoft SQL Server as the database. I have been using the mysql interface to access the database, so I have to change my code. Which database interface should I use, ODBC, ADO, mssql or PEAR?

[PHP] 'application' variables not available? Alternatives?
Hi I am looking at converting a large project from ASP to PHP, and have read that there is no equivalent of global.asa in PHP. It is probably easiest if I describe the problem starting with how the ASP does it: Project uses global.asa to load a lot of 'global' constants and variables into memory. This includes translations for the web site in a number of different languages. These are loaded from text files so that changing them is easy. These items when loaded in global.asa are as if they are in an associative array which is available to the whole application - it is not destroyed when the page is destroyed! Any ideas how I could handle this in PHP? The ASP method seems sensible, as the data is much too big to load for every page, and too common to load only when required. Holding it in memory and it having application wide scope like this is fast. Loading only parts required at execution from, say, a database would surely be too costly in db calls? Anyone have any ideas about what I could do? Many thanks, David -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Compiling PHP with external mySQL libraries
1) Does adding 'shared,' as a ./configure option mean the module is compiled as an external, dynamically loaded module as compared to the module being statically linked into the 'exe' file? So that adding 'shared,' means I must add a line in the PHP ini file to load the extension (or load with a funcion call). 2) When configuring PHP with mysql support by something like '--with-mysql=/usr' does it automatically create a shared module? i.e do both these following configs produce the same result '--with-mysql=/usr' and '--with-mysql=shared,/usr'? The reason I ask, is I see many PHP info pages that specify '--with-mysql=[DIR]' without the 'shared,' bit, and they do specify an external library with the [DIR] part, but in the mysql info section 'MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE' shows as 'external'. I thought 'shared,' would have to be added to create an external dynamic loaded module? Thanks for the help!

[PHP] Confused on Session Register
Hi All
I was trying to write a PHP session and was confused whether to use
session_register or $_SESSION.
Anyone know when to use either of these? (Or an interpretation of the
following line)?
Use of $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is
recommended for security and code readablity. With $_SESSION or
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS, there is no need to use
session_register()/session_unregister()/session_is_registered() functions.
Users can access session
variable like a normal variable.

[PHP] How to obtain unique XML Elements
Anyone have a simple technique for obtaining a unique list of elements from an XML file? Am looking for something that will identify the first opening tag ie and the single tag so that I get an array of tags that I can print out. Having a bit of trouble with regex to get something to work. Basic idea I had is to open file, read through each line with regex, add matches to array, and then do unique elements of array and write to another file.

[PHP] File uploads...
Hi all,
I am updating a site accounting for register_globals = off. I have a
page which allows for the uploading of a number of files. The page sends
these in an "array" of files.
The destination script used to have:
if ($AttachmentCount > 0) {
foreach($userfile as $key => $value) {
AddAttachment($BPFNo, $value, $userfile_name[$key],
$userfile_size[$key], $userfile_type[$key]);
}
}
Where attachmentcount was a variable which could be 0 (no uploads) or
more (counting the number of $userfile[] variables there should be.
AddAttachment is a function that actually saves the attachment into a
database.
How would I re-do this?
What I would preferably do is have the script AddAttachment for each
$_FILES[] there might be. If I need to change it from an array type
($userfile[]) in the calling script, I can easily do this.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Re: Re[2]: [PHP] need advice on template engine
Hi, Smarty is trully fantastic - relatively easy to learn and use and is very powerful. I used to use the phplib template engine which was also impressive but Smarty is much more sophisticated. Some great things about Smarty:- - site pages can be cached (can save masses of time if the server is having to re-create the same database backed pages) - a well written, extensive and thorough manual (a must if you are to use Smarty to its max) - the Smarty 'presentation' code resides with the html and is consequently separated from the php code . This may be said by some to be a bad thing as the point of the such template engines is to separate the html from programming code; however I have found that in the case of phplib templates (and no doubt many other template engines) html was, by necessity, finding its way into the programming code and also the code to manage the generate the templates could become quite bulky. Smarty is practically and conceptually more elegant in that it separates 'all presentation related code' (html and smarty constructs) and logic (ie. your php), what's more, the actual lines of code that I have to write is reduced as a result.

[PHP] Re: Help Please
I can think of a couple of ways to tackle this: 1) The purest way is to do with your database design - a typical order processing database will contain a table for products, a table for customers, a table for orders, a table for order lines and so on ... If this is implemented correctly (ie the tables are correct) you should be able to do an grouping and aggregate type query on the order line table that will return the number of any particular product sold and from there you can apply the correct price. You'll need to understand relational database design to do this yourself (a v good topic to know if you're doing much in the way of database backed sites anyway). The O'Reilly Book Web Database Design with Php and MySQL uses a wine order processing application as a running example throughout (although this appears to be principally about using Php with MySQL rather than database design itself it may be worth checking out) 2) More along the lines of your suggestion below you can use the MySQL '+' operator .Every time you sell an item you can run an update query which goes something like:- UPDATE table_name SET num_of_items_sold_field= (num_of_items_sold_field + 1) WHERE product_id_field = the_product_id You can then use the value in 'num_of_items_sold_field' to determine product price. You may want to check out the MySQL list as the issue appears to be principally a database rather than a php one. If at all possible I would advocate the first approach - a properly designed database will generally always pay divis in the long run. Hope that this helps.

[PHP] Thank you all for your help.
I corrected the typo and and $_POST works correctly now. I don't know why it didn't work the first time I corrected the typo (I think that I had to re-publish my web site or somesuch), nonetheless it is working now. Thank you all.
