[PHP] C++, $_POST -> php-cgi
Hi,
i'm planning to create a win32 http server that supports cgi. Does anybody see
the problem in C++ -source? Php doesn't give any output, but if I don't set the
rfc3875 environment variables, all output comes
normally (expect post and other variables aren't set).
Only what I'm able to set is $_GET -variables as
script arguments.
So how can I set post variables and others, like RAW_POST_DATA?
The c code above lets php to read the script by itself and post -variables are
written to stdin pipe. Output
should be able to be readed from stdout (problem is
that there are no output, even not the headers).
I hope that you understand what I mean...
-
Test script: (D:\test.php)
-
-
C++ source:
-
#include
#include
#include
int main()
{
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa = {sizeof(SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES)};
sa.bInheritHandle = 1;
sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = NULL;
HANDLE hStdoutR, hStdoutW, hStdinR, hStdinW;
CreatePipe(&hStdoutR,&hStdoutW,&sa,0);
SetHandleInformation(hStdoutR,HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT,0);
CreatePipe(&hStdinR,&hStdinW,&sa,0);
SetHandleInformation(hStdinW,HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT,0);
STARTUPINFO si = {sizeof(STARTUPINFO)};
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESTDHANDLES;
si.hStdOutput = hStdoutW;
si.hStdInput = hStdinR;
char env[255] =
"REQUEST_METHOD=POST\0CONTENT_LENGTH=17\0CONTENT_TYPE=application/x-www-form-urlencoded\0SCRIPT_FILENAME=D:\\test.php";
if(!CreateProcess(NULL,"php-5.2.9-1-Win32\\php-cgi.exe
D:\\test.php",NULL,NULL,1,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,env,NULL,&si,&pi))
return 0;
CloseHandle(hStdoutW);
CloseHandle(hStdinR);
DWORD dwWritten = 0;
//Write post data here?
if(!WriteFile(hStdinW,"var=post+variable",20,&dwWritten,NULL))
return 0;
CloseHandle(hStdinW);
char buf[1000] = {0};
DWORD dwRead = 0;
while(ReadFile(hStdoutR,buf,sizeof(buf),&dwRead,NULL) && dwRead != 0){
printf(buf);
}
printf("|\n\nEND");
CloseHandle(hStdoutR);
getch();
return 0;

[PHP] Re: crypt()
you can use md5() which will create an encrypted string that cannot be encrypted, or you can use something like base64_encode() which has the inverse base64_decode, that way you have an encrypted string in the database but if for example a user loses their password, instead of setting a new one, you can retrieve the old one. This of course won't be as secure, but anyone that gains access to your db will not be looking at the real password and will have to know to decrypt it using base64_decode(). hope that's informational, -ApexEleven -- ------>> Jasper Howard :: Database Administration Velocity7 1.530.470.9292 http://www.Velocity7.com/ <<-- "Aaron Todd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I have developed a PHP based site that requires users to login.

[PHP] Re: Sessions & session_start() & my problem
that was a bit confusing, but it looks like you call session_start() more
than once in a script. You only need to call it once, and you need to call
it before any headers get sent, at the top of the script is a good place. If
you're scripts are already setup like that just ignore me. Oh, also, if you
include a file that has session_start() in it you'll get that warning too.

Re: [PHP] Closing my Window after Download
try this, after you force download of the file, use:
header("Location: close_window_script.php");
where the only code in that file is something like this:
<!--
window.close();
//-->
this is a total workaround, but since its the only thing in the document,
its very possible that it'll work, it won't take any more time to load
either because you're using the header() function to forward, so the user
has to download the same amount of info.

the checkpermission(); function should be run before php can pharse anything

when I did this in a shared hosting environment, I looked at phpinfo() running on the server in question, then changed all values in my new php.ini to be the same as the one on the server.

[PHP] Re: sorting multidimensional array by a second level value
the way i did this was by structuting the array like this $array['href'][0] = 'www.com.com'; $array['description'][0] = 'blah!'; etc... then use the array_multisort function like this To sort by "href": array_multisort($array['href'],$array['description'],$array['time']); a key point is that the first element in array_multisort is what the others are sorted by. You can also use flags to get the type of reorder you want. if you're getting the data from a database, try sorting in the query, it'll make your life a lot easier. anyway, hope that helps, -- -->> Jasper Howard :: Database Administration ApexEleven Web Design 1.530.559.0107 http://www.ApexEleven.com/ <<-- "Chris Lott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I have an array $links like this: > > [1] => Array > ( > [href] => http://www.poetrymagazine.org/epstein_sept_prose.html > [description] => Thank You, No > [time] => 2004-09-17T17:30:32Z > ) > > [2] => Array > ( > [href] => http://110am.com/projects/manuscript/ > [description] => Manuscript > [time] => 2004-09-16T19:25:14Z > ) > > I'd like to sort the array based on one of the values in the field > href, description, or time.

Re: [PHP] deleting directories
its pretty easy to make your function recursive, all you need to do is
test if the current file is a directory (if (is_dir($file)){run
function} else if (eregi('/_vti_cnf/',$file))), then delete all files
as long as they are located in a "_vti_cnf" directory. And I'm sure
I've done something wrong that won't please someone on the list, but
hopefully this baic idea works and someone will be able to improve on
it.

Re: [PHP] Images in PHP and MySQL
If you're uploading a file then you can make a script that reads the temp file into the database (otherwise you need to muck around with image functions and I'm not the one to ask about that), something like: $image = mysql_escape_string(fread(fopen($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], "r"), filesize($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']))); Then you just put $image in the db under a BLOG field type. This is what I did when I needed to save some images to a db and it seemed to work fine. Make sure you save the file type to the database so you can display the image properly. When you are ready to display an image, just create the html for an image and set the source to a php script that will output the image: And in the display_image.php script do something like this: That code was modified a bit from its origional function (forcing download of the file) but I think it should just work, but there's always the chance I messed it up somehow. hope that works for someone, -Jasper Howard On Mon, 27 Sep 2004 19:05:16 -0500, Jim Grill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1) there is no need to fiddle with directory permissions to write images. > > 2) if the content is sensitive you have the added security of the database > > password (and the fact that the database is ususally not directly > > accessible). > > 3) a mysqldump gives a backup of all images along with other persistent > data > > > > Other disadvantages follow: > > 1) excessive load on the server for loading each image > > 2) the load mentioned above causes a slow down in the script > > 3) images usually need to be written to file before using GD for > > manipulation, inclusion in PDFs, etc. > > > That's a very good list. > > I just wanted to pipe in on this one thing: > > "3) images usually need to be written to file before using GD for > manipulation, inclusion in PDFs, etc." > > There is actually a function for this: imagecreatefromstring() > > I'll don't want to touch the rest of this topic though. :-) > > Jim Grill > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- << Jasper Howard - Database Administration ApexEleven.com 530 559 0107 --->> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] array sort question
Sorry for the empty reply (miss slide of the finger on my touch pad). You can use array_multisort(); The code would look something like this, remember, this is untested code so be warned before any flaming is done: //CODE //You need to restructure your array like this: $menu["ID"][1] = 5; $menu["Title"][1] = "Test 1"; $menu["ID"][2] = 3; $menu["Title"][2] = "Test 4"; //Then run array_multisort array_multisort($menu['Title'],$menu['ID']); //END CODE Like this it will sort alphabetically or numerically (which ever needed) ascending. You can put tags after the first variable like this: array_multisort($menu['Title'],SORT_ASC,SORT_STRING,$menu['ID']); If there are any more keys in the $menu array you need to list them after the $menu['ID'] key so they will be sorted according to the $menu['Title'] key. The first key you put into array_multisort() is the one that the rest get sorted by. -Jasper Howard On Fri, 1 Oct 2004 22:44:50 -0400, Paul Bissex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 1 Oct 2004 19:12:30 -0700, Ed Lazor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Any ideas on how I could sort this array by Title? > > > > $menu[1]["ID"] = 5; > > > > $menu[1]["Title"] = "Test 1"; > > > > $menu[2]["ID"] = 3; > > > > $menu[2]["Title"] = "Test 4"; > > > uasort() is what you need here. > > Also see the usort() documentation page for an example of how to write > the comparison callback function that you pass to uasort(). > > pb > > -- > paul bissex, e-scribe.com -- database-driven web development > 413.585.8095 > 69.55.225.29 > 01061-0847 > 72°39'71"W 42°19'42"N > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- << Jasper Howard - Database Administration ApexEleven.com 530 559 0107 --->> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Including function libraries
it seems possible that this is the problem, you called it,
"checkLoggedIn()" in your script then tried to call,
"checkloggedin()". Notice the caps aren't there when you tried to call
it.

Re: [PHP] sort multidim array
This was just discusses in quite some detail. Everyone decieded that usort() was the best and a couple peopel agreed that array_multisory() works just fine. Check out that convo to get some pretty good details on how to do this.

Re: [PHP] exec and system do not work
Ethan,
A return code of not 0 means an error occured.
Probably /var/www is not writable. Test that one by doing this:
$a = is_writable("/var/www);
var_dump($a);
If that says anything else than (boolean) TRUE, you can't write in the
directory.
Sincerely,
Jasper Kips

I would like to suggest to you a different approach, which would be more dynamical: First, you would have a table which stores the number of arguments of a certain entry, something like record_id num_of_arg You would store the num_of_arg entry in a PHP variable, say $num. Then you would proceed to use "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS \'entries_".$num."\' ...some more code..." to create a table which can store precisely $num arguments per record. Then you add it to that table using standard MySQL. Effectively this groups all records into tables according to $num. The only thing here is that you probably need to call the database two times: - first to get num_of_arg to be able to call onto the right table - second to get the data But as the number of arguments would go into the thousands, no huge join would be necessary. Only thing is, that you would have very wide tables (I don't know how wide MySQL can go). Creating tables on-the-fly as necessary seems to be something you could consider, but again I stress that I don't know performance details. There might be something quicker. So far for my 2c. Hopefully, it is of some help. Best regards, Jasper Mulder -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A small remark:
I think it is good programming practice to place such static if-clauses before
the while statement.
This prevents a lot of redundant checks and thus saves time.

[PHP] Need experience with OOPHP
Just the short week that I have been subscribed to this list, I have encountered numerous code examples using the new OOPHP. A bit of a culture shock, but since I also code in Java regularly, no conceptual difficulties occur. Only thing is now, that I would like to improve my OOPHP skill by writing some useful classes; I don't see any possibilities in my current ensemble of projects and therefore was wondering if anyone had some small project for me, which I would then try to implement. Preferably, I would get some response afterwards on where to improve, thus making me a better programmer. I stress I have quite some experience with the old, procedural PHP. Anybody interested?

As a second try, what happens if you add right here the line
$sGen = urlauth_gen_url($sUrl, $sParam, $nWindow, $sSalt, $sExtract, $nTime);
Because it seems as though you just declare three functions in the code
without calling them...

In PHP, single quotes do not allow in-line variable substitution. My guess is that it will work if you use $_POST['p'.$i] or $_POST["p$i"] instead. Further, please mind your punctuation and language use - here I also refer to the other posts you made.

Suppose that $arrays is your array of arrays.
Then is
$res = array();
foreach($arrays as $item){
$res[$item['cat_name']][] = $item;
}
what you are looking for?

Unfortunately, many people decide that everything is relevant, even for a long thread. Still, this should not mean we have to flee to the opposite of no quoting. You will agree that quoting your message above will be clearer than just replying without quote. Personally, I think that incorrect spelling is far more annoying than the quoting; that is, if it does not originate from incapability due to English (whether it be British or American) being not the native language, as opposed to spelling errors because of vapidity. As for the readers of this list, I am sorry to go into this non-PHP subject, but I couldn't really let this pass. Best regards, Jasper

According to the postgreSQL docs, there might occur an error as the sum() output is coerced to have a 9 digit precision (so at most 999,99 as a value), and as this is different from the PHP float interpretation, they might yield different results in case of overflow. However as python supports arbitrary integer arithmetic, overflows should not occur. At the moment, still overflow errors seem the most likely explanation. Does your table consist of very large values (occasionally perhaps)? Could you give us an example? Best regards, Jasper

[PHP] Relative includes and include_path
Hi all, On the the include_path php.net says: "Using a . in the include path allows for relative includes as it means the current directory. However, it is more efficient to explicitly use include './file' than having PHP always check the current directory for every include. " (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.include-path) While this does not state that starting every include with "./" is equivalent to having an include_path that is ".", it does suggest exactly that. However, I tried this in the field, and came to a different conclusion. (I included my experiment below.) Is the idea that those two are equivalent wrong? Am I doing something wrong? Is something strange going on? Can anyone clear this issue up for me? Thanks, Jasper --- The experiment: On a machine where the include_path is ".", I had the following file structure: - A.php - B.php - C.php - file.php - sub/includeA.php - sub/includeB.php - sub/includeC.php The content of the files: A.php B.php C.php file.php includeA.php includeB.php includeC.php Now if you visit A.php or B.php the file will be included successfully. Obviously, C.php fails to include anything. includeA.php works all the same, but includeB.php can't find file.php. includeC.php, on the other hand, finds it just fine. This would suggest that include_path being "." means you can include from the path of the current file, while starting your "./" means you start looking from the current parh. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] mail()
mail() returns true if the email delivery worked, false if it failed. However, occasionally the email delivery will work, but will fail at a later stage (a "delivery failed" message will be returned to the sender) - you can check for this by having a script check the mailbox that was sent from, and get all delivery failed messages. parse them for the email address and then you will know that it failed. jasp Tim Thorburn wrote: Hi, I've made a script that loops through a MySQL database and sends a message to all users with an email address on file.

[PHP] Re: Fetch Information Via a link
Hi Eric
What you need to do is make another PHP page, maybe info.php, which will
fetch the info field from the DB and display it.
So for example, assuming the eventname field is unique, you could make
the info like something like:
information
And then make info.php fetch the info field from the DB, for example if
you were using MySQL:
// page header HTML here
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT info FROM table WHERE
eventname='{$_GET['eventname']}'"));
$info = $row['info'];
print(nl2br($info));
?>
// page footer HTML here
Obviously you will need to change that to suit your site, and you may
want to add some security to the $_GET variable being passed to the
MySQL server to prevent attacks. Other than that, hope this helps.

Thanks, Kevin
Without going into too much detail, you just need to use one of the
examples you found on PHP.net to create the thumbnail, and then rather
than calling something like:
imagejpeg('filename.jpg');
once you've created the thumbnail, call this instead:
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg();
That will output the jpeg image to the browser. Obviously this would be
in a separate file called from the main script in an img tag, like:
A couple of pointers:
1. You'd want to do input checking on the file GET variable to ensure
no-one could get hold of stuff they shouldn't.
2. Make sure you don't output anything else in the file that outputs the

John Hinton
When you use setcookie(), it sets a Set-Cookie header in the response to
the browser. The browser will then send the Cookie header with
subsequent requests.
The server has no way of knowing about the cookie until a subsequent
request, but you could either code around it or write your own setcookie
wrapper, something like:
function setcookie2($name, $value="", $expire="", $path="", $domain="",
$secure=false) {
$_COOKIES[$name] = $value;
return setcookie($name, $value, $expire, $path, $domain, $secure);
}
It's probably better just to think up an alternative way to do it though.

$query = "INSERT INTO users (avatars) VALUES ('$avname')WHERE id
='$user_id')";
Also - it looks like an UPDATE might be more suitable for what you want,
given that you've got a WHERE clause tacked on the end. Google for a
good SQL tutorial; the PHP mailing list is not the place to learn SQL :)

here you store an empty array in the $vars member array, under the key

now you are adding elements to this array under the 'arr' key in the

you just removed b from the array under 'arr' in the $vars member array.

this should show something equiv. to:

Re: [PHP] HTTP status code
The default Apache error handler is not called when PHP sends a 404
header. The code that does Apache error handling happens *before* PHP
gets in the loop, and checks to see if the script being referenced
exists, which it indeed does, whether it sends a 404 header or not.
Tested on Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.1.
If you really want to get the default Apache error handler to appear
then either readfile() it or redirect to it.

Apache supports SSL/TLS. Therefore the credit card data can be encrypted in transit to you (you'll probably need to shell out for an SSL cert). Your credit-card processing gateway will provide SSL/TLS encryption for your connection to them (be it via SOAP, REST, whatever). If you really have to store the data for any reason, PHP's mcrypt extension allows you to encrypt it before storing it in the database. But avoid storing it if you can. There you have it, end-to-end data encryption.

No, I did that.
First off, the required public before the function call was not
included, secondly, Jasper is var_dumping the key of the array, not the
array it self.
Public is not required. I always put it regardless, but if you leave it
off then PHP defaults to public for compatibility reasons.
Jochem's code, which behaves incorrectly, does var_dump. Mine just
returns the array key as you would expect. That's why Jochem's doesn't
behave correctly with arrays.

But if they don't call a close() method, then in the future if you do need that functionality... it's not there. Of course, it wouldn't exactly be a rewrite to make it close the connection at the end of every script before PHP did, if I'm proven wrong and it one day is necessary. I'd only need to change the database objects layer. Wrong, you would just be doing the same thing PHP does... closing the connection at the end of the script. What happens if you need to open 20 connections to 20 different databases... are you going to keep them all open? I guess you would since it sounds like you don't have a facility to close them. I don't think what you're doing is incredibly obscene, I mean 90% of PHP developers are doing the same thing. 90% of the coding population can't be wrong... but one that same line of thought... when you open an image file or text file for reading or writing... do you close it? Or just leave it open for PHP to close at the end? I mean PHP will magically close all resources for you, there's obviously no need to close it... or maybe there are valid times when you need to close a resource yourself, I dunno, I feel like I'm out on a limb here ;) Yeah, I can see your point. Simple answer though: my framework isn't designed for connecting to 20 different databases :) It's designed for normal database-driven websites -- where there usually a maximum of two connections (master and slave), and often only one connection, open. I guess I'm just gambling the time-saving benefits of not having to call $db->close() or whatever all the time, against the slim possibility that I might one day have to write a new framework to deal with apps that do 20+ DB connections at once. The framework is fairly light anyway as it's built on top of PDO, so a rewrite is not a huge deal. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene General Manager Album Limited http://www.album.co.nz/ 0800 4 ALBUM [EMAIL PROTECTED] 021 708 334 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You're assuming that a) PHP will continue to be a forgiving language when it comes to items like this and b) your script is going to exit normally. The reason this is a 'documented feature' is because PHP is trying to make up for sloppy programming. You shouldn't rely on the language to clean up your toys for you. If the script exits abnormally the connection is still closed. Test it. I'm happy to gamble on a) as because I have said in earlier posts I am very confident this behaviour will not change in the forseeable future. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene General Manager Album Limited http://www.album.co.nz/ 0800 4 ALBUM [EMAIL PROTECTED] 021 708 334 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[snip] Thanks -- does the "persistent connection" thing hold the server up until released? How does that work? MySQL is threaded so will not be "held up" by any connection. Obviously the more connections the more of certain resources it will be using, but it doesn't block for every connection. The exception, of course, being if you have something going on at the MySQL protocol level such as LOCK TABLES or a transaction. That will hold up certain other queries. But that's at a whole other layer. -- Jasper Bryant-Greene General Manager Album Limited http://www.album.co.nz/ 0800 4 ALBUM [EMAIL PROTECTED] 021 708 334 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No. They are email headers relating to the tracking of replies and the internal tracking of emails on the mail server. It should be safe to leave them out, in fact the body of the message (from BEGIN:VCALENDAR to END:VCALENDAR) is likely to be all that you need. Google for a VCalendar spec.

And yes you can, at least in MySQL, and probably in others. If you're using a version of MySQL prior to 4.1, though, you can't do subqueries, which means that you'll need to reformulate your query with joins. Also DISTINCT isn't a function. The expression should be: SELECT DISTINCT query_expr ... not SELECT distinct(query_expr) ...

You can use strtotime() to convert your string date to a PHP date. and
then calculate it from that.
However, I'd strongly recommend using a real MySQL date field to store
the date. There's no reason not to, and then you can use MySQL native
functions to do a lot of the calculation.

If you stick with a string data type, then I'd use the following to
convert it to a UNIX timestamp (seconds since 1970-01-01) and find the
number of days since 23 August 2003:
$unix_timestamp = strtotime($mydata->StampDate);
$timestamp_2003 = strtotime('2003-08-23');
$days_since_2003 = ($unix_timestamp - $timestamp_2003) / 60 / 60 / 24;
$days_since_2003 now contains the number of days since 2003 for that
date. You'd have to aggregate all your records to get the average hits
per day.
As I said, though, you should be using a MySQL date field. Have a look
at the MySQL manual for the corresponding functions to the above --
there's probably a quicker way with MySQL too.

It's pretty good, but I would've done:
$itinerary = explode('|', $booking->booking_flight_details);
foreach($itinerary as $item) {
$item = explode(',', $item);
$path[] = array(
'location' => $item[0],
'country' => $item[1],
'datetime' => $item[2]
);
}
That's really just a matter of preference though.
