RE: [PHP] capturing reloads
The only way I know is to use sessions.
Each time they load the page, you would check a session variable that you
use store the status of a specific page. E.g.
if($_SESSION['ReloadStatus']['ContactUs'] == true)
{
//Page has already been loaded once. This is a reload.
//[ Your code here ] --\\
}
else
{
//Page hasn't already been loaded. This is the first visit.
//[ Your code here ] --\\
//Register this page as loaded:
$_SESSION['ReloadStatus']['ContactUs'] == true
}

RE: [PHP] Trouble getting $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
You should encase the $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in print_r() or you will just get
the word "Array" printed. But I doubt that will solver your problem because
it seems that $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is empty.
Also, print_r() does not include any HTML formatting, so you will need to
look at the source for the page in the browser to make it readable.

I need to have the contents of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA because of
non-regular uploads (from browser to my home-made WevDAV server
implementation

do, it is always NULL. I guess the following script should return
SOMETHING in $HTTP_RAW_POST DATA if "always_populate_raw_post_data = On" is
added to the php.ini file (and yes, I've restarted apache :-)... so, why
is it empty and how can I get the RAW post data? My PHP version is 4.3.2.
test.php:

echo("Raw post data decoded:

[PHP] XMl Parsing within PHP
Hi, I am trying to create a Class that will parse an XML document. It all works fine as individual functions but I cant get it to work as a class. For example, when I do the following in my class: xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_parser, '$this->startElement', "$this->endElement"); xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_parser, "$this->valueHandler"); I get an error message: Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler $thiss->startElement() in c:\program files\apache group\php\My_includes\Class.xmlTranslator.php on line 90 Now I presume this is because I am trying to call methods of my class.

FW: [PHP] Re: Building an XML Parser Class
Thanks for the link. Sadly it doesn't really apply to what I am trying to do. My class literally translates the Xml Document into an associative array. PHP's functionality for working with XML documents is way too limited for me to do what I need to while still keeping my code legible. That's why I am changing it into an array first. As I said, the code works perfect. All I need to do is to be able to call a method of the parent of the Xml Parser. I presume the Xml Parser is an object even though it is created with $MyXmlParser = xml_parser_create(); Instead of say: $MyXmlParser = new XmlParser; -Original Message- From: Greg Beaver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 5:01 PM To: Donald Tyler Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Building an XML Parser Class http://pear.php.net/XML_Parser :) Greg -- phpDocumentor http://www.phpdoc.org Donald Tyler wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to create a Class that will parse an XML document.

Tried that already, all it does it change the error message to: Warning: xml_parse(): Unable to call handler () in c:\program files\apache group\php\My_includes\Class.xmlTranslator.php on line 90 I guess this is because its looking within the xml parser object for a function called $this->startElement.

[PHP] Lost Connection to MySQL server during query
I have a script that is processing data from a single table and splitting it into smaller normalized tables. The script takes anywhere between 5-10 minutes to complete, and as it runs it constantly outputs a report on its progress. The script seems to run fine the first time I run it, but with subsequent runs (To see if it incorrectly creates duplicates of records etc), after a couple of minutes the script ends with an error message saying "Lost connection to MySQL server during query". During the first run, the script is mostly just chopping up the data and placing it in the new tables, and doing a little comparing. But during subsequent runs, all of the records in the new tables should already exist, so the script see's this, and instead of creating new records, it compares them to see if its correct. Does anyone have any idea why it would be losing connection all the time? This is just being run on a test server at the moment. Being used as the server and also the client, configured as follows: Windows XP Tablet Edition PHP 4.3.3 PHP Extensions: XmlRPC MySQL 4.0.14 Apache 2.0.47 Please help, this has been making my life hell for a week now!

[PHP] Resizing a jpeg stored in a database
Hi, I have a question that I hope you can answer. So far I have accomplished the following: Storing a jpeg in a MySQL database Retrieving the jpeg from the database Sending the jpeg to a browser and displaying it correctly Creating dynamic PNG images in PHP Resizing the dynamic PNG image in PHP Now I need to combine the two processes. I am storing jpegs in a database, and I want to write a script that can serve the image as either a thumbnail view or a full view. How exactly would I go about this? I was hoping I could just load the image from the database and then insert it into an object I created with "imagecreate()". However I don't seem to be able to find any functions that will allow me to do that. I noticed there were functions to import images from files or URL's. Does this mean that I will first have to save the image as a file on the hard drive and THEN import it into the image object? Thanks in advance for your help. Donald Tyler

Are you sure the MySQL server is running? Can you connect from the
command line using the same credentials as above?

Let's get a hair more info, try
if(!($Connection = mysql_connect('localhost', '**',
'**'))){
print(mysql_error() . "\n");
exit();
}
It also has the added benefit of shortening the code

RE: [PHP] mysql.lock file location
Yeah I do that too. But I was reluctant to do that with something that
just seemed like a fix for a problem that shouldnt even exist.
If the server with my scripts is configured correctly, then I should
never have to specify a .sock file. I hope...

You can set default mysql settings in php.ini which allows you to set a
socket
file. Then you leave the default settings out of mysql_connect all
together.
I _think_ that you can then connect with
mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") and it will use the
socket
file set in php.ini.
If that doesn't work you can try editing the client section of
/etc/my.cnf
Also, I always set up my apps in a way that the db connection is only in
one
place and just called from all the scripts that need it. You can do
this
with an include or using object oriented coding. This way if you ever
have
to make a system wide change you don't have to go to all the scripts and
change it.
Hope that helps.

[PHP] Restarting Apache without screwing up running scripts?
Hi, We are building an Intranet for our company and I was wondering how people deal with having to restart the server when its running an intranet. Obviously if there is a complex process running and the server restarts in the middle of it then its going to screw a lot of stuff up. The only thing I could think of was to script the Intranet in such a way as I could go into the admin section and simply disable it, then all the currently running processes would finish, but the system would refuse to start any new ones until I re-enabled it again. Just want some advice, thanks. Donald
[PHP] Problem connecting to remote MySQL Server
Hi, I am publishing a site I have developed and I am having problems with the scripts being able to access the remote MySQL server. When I try to connect using the PHP scripts I just get an error saying that access is denied. I can access it fine from my machine using PHPMyAdmin so I know that remote access is being allowed. I have also connected to the web hosting server via SSH and have connected successfully to the MySQL server via the MySQL client at the terminal from that machine. So I know the server that the scripts are running on also has access to the MySQL server. Here is my script. Please let me know if you have any ideas why this would be happening: - --- Here is the error message: MySQL Error 1044 : Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to database 'Belvedere' --- My DB_Host is specified as a domain name. e.g. db1.myhost.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Sessions within new windows
Hi, Not sure if this is a PHP or Browser issue but here is my problem: I have a site that has a members section. In the news area, when a user clicks the link for an article, it pops open a new window a requests the article via a PHP script. What's happening is that when the new window pops up, the script isn't getting the session info properly. I changed it so that the page opens up in the main window instead of a new one and it works fine. I presume this is because the browser is not sending the session ID to the script when opening the new window. Does anyone know of a way for me to fix this without embedding the session ID in the URL? I thought the only criteria that the browser used when deciding if to send a Session ID or not was if the page is located at the same domain name. P.S. Its Internet Explorer 6 I am using. Thanks.

There could be something you're not seeing and assuming it's correct. But
typing your code into the email we aren't getting the full story.
Can you actually attach your scripts to an email and send that? Copying and
pasting then into the email won't necessarily provide all the info needed to
solve your problem.
For example: I once uploaded a PHP script to the server and for some reason
on the way up extra character were placed in the document that did not show
up in most text editors. I had to use a very basic terminal text editor to
see the added characters.

if a script calls antohter like 'include('http://site.com/index.php');
Why would I get a syntax error on line 1 of index.php when it looks like

Yes your right, thats exactly the problem. I didnt even realize he was
doing that.
By including the PHP file via HTTP, you are including the OUTPUT of the PHP
file, not the actual PHP file itself.
e.g.
by including a file with the following code:
you would be including the word "Hello" as PHP code, which is obviously
going to cause a syntax error.

I've never tried to do an include via HTTP, so maybe I'm clueless, but
it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to try doing a plain old
file include, using exactly the same file. I have the feeling it would
be interesting to know whether that would work or not.

Yes that is true. But I would strongly recommend against doing that.
You should never include anything over HTTP. Its extremely messy, 100%
insecure and just a very very bad idea.
You should have all the files you need to include located on your web
server.

Yes. I read the manual which provides no clear explanation (I suspect
that whoever wrote it didn't actually know how it works). So I decided
to test it. It does exactly what you say it does. I made an include file
like this:
';
?>
If you inlude that using HTTP, it outputs "Hello world!"
Seems like a strange thing to do, outputting PHP code on a Web page, but
it's not without conceivable usefulness.

FW: [PHP] Flash-PHP Socket Connection
We use XMLRPC to communicate between flash & PHP. I presume it can be coupled with sockets if you should need a permanent connection as well. It has worked perfectly for pretty much anything we throw at it (It allows you to send any PHP or Action script native data type, e.g. arrays, Booleans, integers etc. back and forth across the web) Obvious security implications about, so be very very careful with what you do with the data received. Trust no one! Not even your own Flash Client. -Original Message- From: Eric Bolikowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Flash-PHP Socket Connection Hi everybody I'm working on a site that will be based on Flash, PHP and MySQL.

I have googled for almost an hour now, and I can't seem to find any interesting. The only info I find, is about sending data between Flash and PHP with HTTP GET or HTTP POST.

RE: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection
We are just about to try and get this working with sockets ourselves. Our intranet currently does exactly what you are trying to do, but without using sockets. In reply to your question, there is no one site for XMLRPC really. I suggest you read up on the following subjects: XMLRPC document specification: http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec Flash XML object: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/tools_xmlobject.html PHP XMLRPC implementation: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.xmlrpc.php Using XMLRPC instead of the previously mentioned methods of loading the PHP output as a text file has the following benefits: 1. Complete freedom to communicate a complex data structure, including multidimensional arrays. This is difficult if not impossible to do with simple PHP text output. 2. Data types are kept intact when being transferred. E.g. there is no confusion as to whether: 1 = integer: 1 1 = string: 1 1 = Boolean: true 3. XMLRPC is an industry standard. Using it will allow other developers to easily build clients for your server side script should you wish. 4. PHP has full XMLRPC functionality built in; Flash has XML functionality built in. There is a little extra work involved in extending the Flash XML object to an XMLRPC parser (or you could try one of the OpenSource alternatives), but I recommend building one yourself if you have the time, it really helps you understand XML. -Original Message- From: Eric Bolikowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 4:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection Hey Ben I know it may sound nuts, but I really want to make a socket connection between a Flash and a PHP file.

$File = fopen($FilePath, "r");
$FileContents = fread($File, filesize($FilePath));
$src= imagecreatefromstring($FileContents);
$width = imagesx($src);
// Shrink the image to the maximum width
// Maintaining aspect ratio
if($width > $new_w){
$height = imagesy($src);
$aspect_ratio = $height/$width;
$new_h = abs($new_w * $aspect_ratio);
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($new_w,$new_h);
imagecopyresized($img,$src,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,$width,$height);
ob_start();
imagejpeg($img);
$FileContents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
imagedestroy($img);

you can then either save the filecontents as an image, or place it in a

RE: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection
You would use sockets if you were developing a client/server application that was making a LOT of requests very quickly. Opening and closing connections using normal HTTP methods gets slow when carrying out such intense data communication. A good example would be an online game where you need to constantly know the location of all players all the time. -Original Message- From: Miles Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 7:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Flash-PHP Socket Connection Use xmlReceiver to trigger the back end PHP script. Have that script generate XML which you parse in Flash. Plain text will work, but a single quotation mark in the text sends you off to never never land.

RE: [PHP] Problems with $_POST
This is the method I recommend also.
The token method works fine, but is slightly harder to implement.
Basically you would keep the function that creates the record separate from
the page that shows confirmation of the record being created.
e.g.
1. User visits:
www.mysite.com/accounts/pages/NewInvoice.php
2. User fills out form and clicks submit, forms "Action" is:
www.mysite.com/accounts/Functions/CreateInvoice.php
3. After CreateInvoice.php has successfully made the invoice, WITHOUT
printing any other output, you use the header() command to send them to:
www.mysite.com/accounts/pages/InvoiceSuccess.php

RE: [PHP] textfields showing php tags & code
There is nothing wrong with your code, I just tried it on my site and it
works fine.
Try and run the function you posted on its own, without adding back anything
that you removed, just to make sure you didn't inadvertently remove the
problem.
If it works, then you know where to look, if it doesn't work, I would check
your webserver and see if anyone has messed around with the PHP
configuration.
Someone must have changed something if it was working before.h

Yes thanks, that will do it. I wasn't aware you had to pass an extra param
to get it to create a new connection.
Both the connections were in separate objects and they were being specified
every time I did a query or select db, but since I didn't add that extra
param you mentioned I guess they were really the same connection even though
they were two separate private variables in different objects.

It depends, how are you creating the connections, and where are you keeping
the connection ID
and when you query, or select database, or anything to do with the
databases, do you make sure you specify that connection id?
//Notice the TRUE, that creates a new conenction, and doesnt use the
existing connection (hence returning a different id)
$sqlconnection1 = mysql_connect('test.com', 'username', 'password');
$sqlconnection2 = mysql_connect('test.com', 'username', 'password', TRUE);
then when you select databases and query youll have to specify that
connection!
//choose DB 1 on connection 1
mysql_select_db('mydata1', $sqlconnection1);
//choose db2 on connetion 2
mysql_select_db('mydata1', $sqlconnection2);
//and querying
//this will select the table named table from the mydata1 database
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE name='me'", $sqlconnection1);
//this will select the table named table from the mydata2 database

Re: [PHP] Compiling PHP Source guides
I did RTFM. The exact page you linked to in fact: QUOTE: Requirements In order to have these functions available, you must compile PHP with support for the mysqli extension. END QUOTE That is the whole point of my request. I need a guide explaining *how* to compile the PHP Source. John Nichel wrote: Donald Tyler wrote: Hi, I am looking for a guide on compiling PHP 4.

Donald Tyler I'd say RTFM, but I don't want to offend anyone's sensibilities, so... http://us4.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php MySQL up too 4.0... http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php MySQL >= 4.1 http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysqli.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

END QUOTE That is the whole point of my request. I need a guide explaining *how* to compile the PHP Source. The directions to compile the PHP source *are* on the page at http://us4.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php -- you compile it using the "make" steps in the directions there. (But it seems the problem is that you don't recognize those as compilation instructions, which is understandable if you're a newbie. The page also says that Basic Unix skills (being able to operate "make" and a C compiler) are a prerequisite, so you probably should find a person you can rely on to deliver those skills repeatably or teach them to you, which is not something you really get from a mailing list. Get a good intor Unix book. After all, you wouldn't expect that if you subscribed to a heart surgery mailing list and said "I'm a complete newbie -- can you tell me how to do a quadruple bypass?" someone would step you through it? Yes, there are differences in degree, but...! :) OK, I guess I'll try to read the instructions again. I *have* tried reading them on multiple occasions but its just greek to me. I do have a rudimentary knowledge of *nix stuff and am very computer literate, but most of the programming I have done is with scripting languages such as Actionscript, Javascript, PHP etc. I realy have no idea about compiling source code. I was just hoping for something in laymans terms I guess... Thanks for your responses.

Basic *nix skills usually include knowing how to configure, compile, and install software from source. The PHP docs explain in very explicit detail how to do it, and I have to say you won't find any more hand holding than you get with PHP documentation. The 'F' in RTFM really means 'Fine' when used in a PHP context. and am very computer literate, but most of the programming I have done is with scripting languages such as Actionscript, Javascript, PHP etc. I realy have no idea about compiling source code. If your download is still compressed you need to uncompress it. Depending on the download's file extension you will need to use one of these commands: tar zxvf php-4.3.10.tar.gz tar jxvf php-4.3.10.tar.bz2 Then you change to the source directory: cd php-4.3.10/ Then you configure the source: ./configure You will need to add your desired compile options in the ./configure command. I have no idea what support you want to build into your PHP. If you don't either you might look at: ./configure --help Then after you're done with the configure, you compile the software: make Then you probably want to install the software permanently to a system-wide location (or you might not, I don't know). On *nix the usual install locations are somewhere like /usr or /usr/local, which can be defined in the configure with --prefix if you don't want the default location. So then to do the actual install you would do: make install Then your php binary will be /usr/bin/php or /usr/local/bin/php. There's also the configure option to build your PHP as a module for use with a web server such as Apache. For that you might use a configure command something like: ./configure --enable-module=so --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs I was just hoping for something in laymans terms I guess... I would guess it's hard to talk about heart surgery without talking about heart surgery. Same goes for compiling software. The commands are pretty explicit and you have to know what your doing to get the desired results. It's no disgrace to not know, once upon a time I didn't know.. but I read lots of docs, and I asked many questions and I learned. I got a few flames along the way but that's part of knowing *nix I guess. :) Several companies I've worked for in the past have brought in outside consultants when something would come up that we didn't have skills for in-house. On that note, you might consider talking with a consultant or even getting them to do your PHP install for you if in the end you give up and cannot figure it out. Make them document the process as part of the deal. Thanks for your responses. Wish me luck. Good luck. Thanks for the info. I do understand that *nix usage generaly relies on a lot of compiling software, but I have been relying on pre-compiled RPMs so far. I am by no means an expert, or even intermediate *nix user, which is why I used the term "rudimentary". I have been running 6 Linux servers for a small company for about a year now learning as I go. I knew nothing about *nix when I started and considering most of my other responsibilities leave very little time to learn and experiment on the Linux systems I dont think I've done too badly. P.S. You didnt offend me, I just wanted to explain my situation. Thanks again for the help.
