There is no lower 'specification' because each one is unique.

.mx is administered, for example, by www.nic.mx (I believe), so it is  
their option to subdivide the .mx tld however they see fit.  Each tld  
gets to do this however it wants.  Mexico chose .com.mx and .gob.mx  
(the latter for government sites), for example, while the UK  
chose .co.uk and .me.uk (the latter for personal pages), etc.  Since  
each one of these tlds is managed independently, it would be nearly  
impossible to construct a list of the possible second level domains  
for al the tlds.  Sure, you might be able to get .mx and .uk info  
fairly easily, but what about .cc or .cx or .fj?  And as soon as you  
do construct such a list, it will be out of date.


If you are trying to verify a valid email address or a valid domain,  
there are better ways.

  I doubt this makes a difference, but its all in one vhost.conf file.
The httpd.conf file includes that file.

  So does anyone have any ideas about my problem with curl functions?

I don't have thousands of vhosts anymore, but we used to.  They were  
all in separate files though, by domain, an included with a include /

than target sum).


That seems like a very slow way to do it, I think.

First thing, sort the array, then scan the array backwards for the  
first number under the target sum (in this case, 50).  Then look for  
another number that will add to make the target sum.  So, if you find  
a 90, look for a 10.  If you find it, you're done.  If you don't find  
it, then search for the next smallest number (33) and add it.  Then  
repeat.  If you don't find a match at 83, then add the next smallest  
number, 20.  But that puts you over your target, so you discard 33  
and start over with 50 and the next lowest number, 20.  Now you are  
only looking for numbers <=20.


This might be the perfect place to use a recursive function, as long  
as you are careful to limit it's iteration cycles.


No way is this going to be done quickly.

I agree, I just found several uses for .htaccess that I can not  
live without -- it's great.


What references would you recommend?


Well, I've really just used the apache docs, myself.

I've had quite a lot of fun getting pages looking a certain way with  
no html code (using htaccess to customize the index page).


For example, on my intranet web server I have some episode summaries  
for a few TV shows, and the .htacess for the root folder of those  
summaries is:


Options All MultiViews
IndexOptions +IconsAreLinks +IconHeight=12 +IconWidth=12 +NameWidth=*  
+ScanHTMLTitles +SuppressLastModified +SuppressSize

IndexOrderDefault  Descending Name
HeaderName header.html
IndexIgnore header.html

The combination of the custom header and having just a name and  
description means most people don't even realize it's an index page.   
+ScanHTMLTitles means that each episode's title shows up in the index  
page automatically without my having to AddDescription manually for  
each one.


And that's all before even thinking about adding php code to the  
htaccess file.


But, this is OT to the list.

See, whatever you do in that general vein of thought, your PHP script
ends up needing to get the file.


Well, yes, but at least with a .ht* file apache will never expose the  
contents of that file. This is WHY I do it as a separate file with a  
require() pointing to it.



A php-readable file outside the webtree at least limits risk to users
on the same machine -- and so machine access provides an
authentication barrier.  Not claiming that's insurmountable, mind you,
but it's a real actual barrier of a significantly different nature
than just reading yet another PHP/text file to find the key that reads
the other-other php/text file.


As I understand it then, the .ht* is no less secure because, for all  
intents and purposes, it is 'outside' the webtree since Apache will  
never display it, and you need some other sort of access to the  
machine (ftp, ssh, etc) to access it.  As I understand it, you can't  
even access .ht* files via webDAV.


Course, I'm still rather new to all of this, so if I'm wrong, flame

[PHP] PHP 5.16 and Sihuson

This configuration cause no end of problems, and I finally compiled  
php without the Suhosin-Patch.  Everything is back to normal and  
working.


with the patch, there were numerous errors and problems:

[Wed Oct 18 09:58:05 2006] [error] ALERT - canary mismatch on efree()

etc.

Is it possible to have Suhosin-Patch enabled and somehow avoid these  
heap overflows, or is Suhosin still not ready for a production  
environment?

The Suhosin patch only reports the double free() in PHP so if
anything it's PHP that's not ready for production. You can disable
the patch but that won't fix the bug in PHP.


I've been told the problem is the Zend Engine.

Use preg_replace to replace all numbers with nothing.

$var = preg_replace ( "/\d+/", "", $var );


Nope, that will leave

$var3 = 'abc  def';

it will also leave $var1 = 'abcdef ';

[PHP] Stupid question of the day (Editing text file in $HOME via web)

[Google Kreme]

I have a text file on a server that I want someone to be able to edit  
via the web.  I need it to have some modicum of security, but it's  
nothing particularly important and security is not the main concern.   
I am perfectly willing to simply http-auth it, if need be.


But it need to be easily editable using some sort of simple web form.

The file is unlikely to be much more than 20-100 lines of simple  
text, but there are a couple of things that are important.


1) it has to preserve spacing and 'extended' characters
2) it has to be kept readable to the uid of the directory it is in,  
and not just the webserver, however it can't be world readable  
without some authentication via the web.
3) the file is in $HOME and not in DocumentRoot, though it _could_ be  
moved.


I don't want to install some fancy word-processing sort of engine  
just to give a user access to this file, nor does the file need to be  
html-ized or anything.  It is a very simple file:


(AAA) XXX-NNN, some descriptive text
(AAA) XXX-NNN, some other descriptive text
(AAA) XXX-NNN, some different descriptive text
(AAA) XXX-NNN, John Smith

etc.

So, do I whack up something where I just load the file into a HTML  
Textarea and then write it back (simple enough, though possibly  
rather dangerous), or is there something straightforward I should go  
ahead and use that might find use elsewhere on the server?

Playing Devils Advocate here, but why not store the text in a  
database?


Because the text file is used by egrep/procmail.

The text file should be somewhat secure if you're manually reading  
and writing to it in PHP, making sure that you're the one  
controlling the file name, the file extension (file type), the file  
permissions, and the file size.


Yeah, so just dump it into a textarea and go?

The unanswered question is:

How many people might try to edit it at once, and what will you do to
resolve race conditions?


There will be only one person able to access the file, but I will  
need to somehow 'time-out' a edit if it doesn't get committed.



1. Put the "file" in a database as individual (AAA) XXX- records,
and the "file" can be generated from the DB every time it changes with
a trigger, or every day or something reasonable.  Having individual
records for each line reduces the damage of the race condition to a
single entry needing to be re-done.  You can also more easily find
code to handle the race condition for the DB in a web environment.


That's not a bad idea.  It might be worth the effort to setup the  
database and then simply have a php scriptlette generate the actual  
plaintext.  Hmm.  Worth considering, at least.  Some way of  
generating the plain text only when the file changes would be needed  
though,a s I don't expect it to change all that often.




2. Put the file into subversion or CVS, if all editors are developers.


Nope, it needs to be luser friendly.


3. Forget the web interface, because the file won't really change that
often anyway, and just use 'vi' to make the rare change. :-)


See above.


There likely *IS* a web tool "out there" just like you want...


Yeah, that's what I was thinking.


My first guess would be to check out the various "panel" solutions for
having a web interface that webhosts provide to edit what is
essentially a simple text file, which configures the web server, mail
server, ftp server, etc.  These all have all the exact same issues you
will face, so there might be one that fits your needs.


Any specific recommendations?  The only one of these I am familiar  
with is the absurdly expensive cpanel.

[PHP] preg_split

[Google Kreme]

OK, I have this file:


 $cid=preg_split('^([^,]+),\s?(.*)', $line, -1,  
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);


  }
 ?>


the trouble is, $cid is empty.  The actual file has lots of print  
lines, so I know that $lines is an array with each line for $CID_FILE  
as one element of the array and that $line gets the data from a  
single array element correctly.


What I want is for each line to be an array, split at the first  
comma.  The regex works in BBEdit, where I can search for


^([^,]+),\s?(.*)

and replace with

\2 \1

and it does the right thing, over and over, so the regex is not the  
issue.  It's something that I am not doing right/understanding in  
preg_split.  I've also tried:


 $cid=preg_split('^([^,]+),', $line);
 $cid=preg_split('^([^,]+),\s?(.*)', $line, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
 $cid=preg_split('^[^,]+,', $line, -1);
 $cid=preg_split('^[^,]+,', $line);

The actual code with the extra printing is here:

PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);


Now it has an extra field in the array, but at least it is splitting  
the line.


[6] => Array
(
[0] => (555) 555-5556
[1] => Maggie, Fred, and George Cell
[2] =>

)


2. Why do you need this complex expression to split at a comma?  
This '/,/' would do the trick.  And even simpler

explode(',', $line);


Because I need to split only at the FIRST comma.



Also your regex ^([^,]+) asks the perl regex parser to find the  
beginning of a line at which there is one or more instances of NO  
Comma.  That is, [^ ] is a negation, so that [^0-9] means do not  
match any numbers.


Yes, and ^([^,]+) means, From the start of the line, get 1 or more  
characters that are not a comma and put them in \01.


So that any possible split would gobble up everything after the  
first instance in which the beginning of a line did not start with  
a comma, which would mean that you would get null results.


No, that's not right at all.  As I said, the regex works (and has  
been tested in other ways).




3. Is there a reason why you are using the flag  
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE?


I tried many different variations.

Heh.  This is why I post here.  Last time I posted I was told to use  
preg_split.  Explode is simpler.


BTW, preg_split works it I change $line to trim($line), which is  
needed for explode too, else the 'name' part ends up with a return  
embedded.


Code as it stands now:
  echo ' PHP Caller ID Info for procmail ('.$CID_FILE.') h1>';

  $lines=file($CID_FILE);
  $i=0;
  foreach ($lines as $line) {
 $cid[$i] = explode(',',trim($line),2);
 // This line works too
 // $cid[$i]=preg_split('/^([^,]+),\s?(.*)/', trim($line),  
-1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

 $i=$i+1;
  }
  echo '';
  echo '';
  $i=1;
  foreach ($cid as $line) {
 $count = substr('00'.$i,-3);

 $i=$i+1;

No.  If you need to update a page that is already displayed, you need
