[PHP] PHP 5 limits "readfile" to 1.9 MB?
Hello all,
I am new to this list and I have searched the archives to no avail. I
am having a peculiar problem when upgrading to PHP 5: My downloads
are now limited to the first 1.9 MB of the file in question, with the
download either terminating at 1.9 MB or seemingly continuously stuck
in a downloading process at 1.9 MB. The code in the PHP script has
not changed and all parameters that I could find that are relevant to
this problem are given below:
the minimal code needed for download:
// $file_to_read is the complete path of the file to download
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header( "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"$filename\"");
$len = filesize($file_to_read);
header("Content-Length: $len");
@readfile($file_to_read);
php.ini file for both php version 4 and 5 contain the following
settings that may be relevant:
allow_url_fopen = On
max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each script,
in seconds
max_input_time = 300; Maximum amount of time each script may
spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may
consume (8MB)
post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
Some additional details:
All files less than 1.9 MB download fine
It is not a corrupted file, because all files larger than 1.9 MB fail
after 1.9 MB
The connection is not timing out (download of 1.9 MB takes only ~15 sec)
Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Marc Liyanage's PHP 5.0.4
Fails for both Safari and Firefox
Fails regardless of "inline" or "attachment"
Fails regardless of "pdf" or "ppt" content-type
This PHP code ALWAYS works for Marc Liyanage's PHP 4.3.4 with the
same settings, above
What am I doing wrong??? Any other parameter in php.ini I should have
set? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
thanks,
Jordan

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP 5 limits "readfile" to 1.9 MB?
Catalin,
Wow, that worked great, thanks.
I'm curious why you set a static buffer of 1024768... why not just do
filesize($file), as shown at http://www.php.net/fread ? Is it better
for memory usage to have a potentially smaller buffer? Also, you may
want an fclose($fp) after the file has been downloaded.
So is this a bug in PHP 5 or are they just purposely limiting the
abilities of the "readfile" command?

You have to work around that with:
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
if($fp) {
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fread($fp, 1024768);//see the huge buffer to read into
}
} else {
//whatever error handler

Re: [PHP] optional argument when creating a function
apparently the ampersand means to treat $link as a reference, not as
an optional argument:
http://www.softwareprojects.org/php-functions-12.htm
I think the way to do it would be to set a default value in your
function so that if a value is set by the calling statement that
would override it:
function doEmail($username, $link = false)
{
if ($link !=== false)
{
// "doEmail($arg1, $arg2);" gets sent here
print "$link $username";
}
else
{
// "doEmail($arg1);" gets sent here
print "$username";
}
}
haven't tested this, but give it a try.

Re: [PHP] mail()
Did you install sendmail? http://www.php.net/mail Requirements For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/ usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.

Re: [PHP] Help correcting a form mailer problem...
wherever you think you are adding data to the gmev array, you are
merely adding the "on" string. I would search your script for the
string "on" and you will find the problem.
what you need is the value in the HTML form to be the text you want
inserted into the array, such as:

Re: [PHP] Help correcting a form mailer problem...
Ted,
On your "sticky" page, your checkbox input commands no longer have
their corresponding "value" attributes. Just add those back in, and
you will be all set (you only have the "value" attribute set on the
event_reg.php page, NOT on the event_reg_calc.php page). This is your
only problem.
i.e. change the code so that the output here:
http://www.passeycorp.com/event_reg_calc.php
will change from this:
to this:
checked="checked"/>

result is - "You have registered for the: on Good

I am missing the value of the variable even though I am receiving

are present.
I really don't know what to do about correcting the problem. Any

Re: [PHP] sending HTML (incl. embedded images) to browser
Hi Jake, You don't have to do anything special, you just have to have standards compliant HTML output. What is the HTML for the IMG tag output to the browser (i.e. go to the web browser, load the page in question, find the img tag, and send us this text). I think maybe your images are just not in the right directory or are not being referenced correctly. also, what is the actual PHP code used to print the img tag? maybe you're not escaping quotes correctly...?

If I need to set up the filepaths with variables I can figure that out, but not sure what functions to use to set the paths up. You need to use absolute URLs for the images. Still, some mail programs and webmail sites disable remote image displaying by default as images may be beacons to spy on users. ALternatively you can embeded images in the actual HTML messages and they always display properly. That is done with MIME multipart/ related messages. You may want to take a look at this MIME message class that can be used to compose messages with embedded images.

Re: [PHP] PHP MySQL insert
besides just escaping your strings, i think you are having a quoting
error:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
Commas should not have to be escaped, and indeed the
mysql_real_escape_string() function will not escape commas. After
escaping your input data with this function, I would make the $query
text a bit more technically correct:
Change this:
$query = "insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2) values (NULL,
'$data1', '$data2')";
to this:
$query = "insert into testtable6 (indx, col1, col2) values (NULL, '".
$data1."', '".$data2."')";
echo $query."\n";
to ensure proper handling of all data in the sql commands.
If you echo your $query before the insert, what do you get? This is
always a good practice when you're having trouble.

Re: [PHP] Week Days
Yo,
All you need is the mktime() command.
do something like:
$futureDate = date("Y-m-d", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $today+
$daysToAdd, $year));
Jordan
http://www.php.net/mktime
mktime() is useful for doing date arithmetic and validation, as it
will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range
input. For example, each of the following lines produces the string
"Jan-01-1998".

Re: [PHP] Problem with SimpleXML
Yes, simplexml can do this easily. See:
http://www.php.net/simplexml
Example 7. Setting values
Data in SimpleXML doesn't have to be constant. The object allows
for manipulation of all of its elements.
movie[0]->characters->character[0]->name = 'Miss Coder';
echo $xml->asXML();
?>
The above code will output a new XML document, just like the
original, except that the new XML will change Ms. Coder to Miss Coder.
Uros, it looks like you want to change one of the attributes; you
will need to use some of this code to handle the attributes:
Example 4. Using attributes
So far, we have only covered the work of reading element names and
their values. SimpleXML can also access element attributes. Access
attributes of an element just as you would elements of an array.

* Output the rating scale, too. */
foreach ($xml->movie[0]->rating as $rating) {
switch((string) $rating['type']) { // Get attributes as element
indices
case 'thumbs':
echo $rating, ' thumbs up';
break;
case 'stars':
echo $rating, ' stars';
break;
}
}
?>

[PHP] syntax for two comparison operators
General question,
Is there a technical reason why PHP does not allow comparison
operator expressions like the following:
if (2 < $x <= 4) {}
I prefer this concise way as it is common for mathematics
expressions, and much easier to grasp physically on first glance.
From what I can tell, this expression can currently only be written as:
if ( $x > 2 && $x <= 4) {}
Would adding this syntax to PHP be incredibly difficult or lead to
performance slowdowns?
I think I remember reading that PHP always evaluates expressions from
right to left, so I guess there may be a considerable codebase change
required. Maybe there could be a default function workaround for this
or some other way to automagically process these more concise
expressions without too much of a slowdown?? Just curious.

Re: [PHP] Assign values in foreach-loop
Hello,
You simply need the $key variable, then you can set a new value for
$arr[$key] for each array element:
$value) {
$arr[$key] = $value * 2;
}
// $arr is now array(2, 4, 6, 8)
?>

If you have PHP 5, you can perhaps more efficiently do this:
As of PHP 5, you can easily modify array's elements by preceding
$value with &. This will assign reference instead of copying the
value.

I think $arr1 is only a temp-var, so the assignment won't reflect

Surely I can do it with a for-loop, but those arrays are a bit

Re: [PHP] Sessions , expiry times and different time zones
As I said, "**rather** than relying on cookie expiration". This *necessarily* means that you will need to set the cookie expiration to sometime way in the future, like next year (or more dynamically, use the date() and mktime() functions to always set the cookie expiration to + 1 yr from "today"). If you do this, you will have no chance of the cookie itself expiring; therefore you can rely solely on the $_SESSION variable. The cookie will contain the session id that the webserver will be able to use to repopulate the $_SESSION variable as long as $_SESSION['expiration'] is still in the future. If $_SESSION['expiration'] is in the past (or is empty) and you issue a session_destroy() and a setcookie(), the cookie can be destroyed, too. I have written something similar to this in the past, and it behaves exactly as you would like and expect. Another benefit is that this is more secure than relying on a cookie-supplied expiration time. Jordan On Sep 6, 2005, at 8:51 PM, Dan Rossi wrote: client cookie expires hence no more session ...

Re: [PHP] Better timestamp explanation to the client
methinks you should convert the datetime to a unix timestamp with
strtotime(). then you can compare the difference between this
timestamp and a unix timestamp of "now" to find if you have logged in
within a min. of the previous time. Then, once you know what text to
display (e.g. "Less than a minute ago!"), you can format the original
datetime timestamp with the date() function to be however you like.
You may have to read the manuals for all three of these functions
several times. good luck!
actually, you may be able to do simple operators (e.g. <, >, or -)
with the datetime as is, without having to convert to a unix
timestamp. "NOW" in datetime format can be gotten with:
$now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
i'm not sure though. just try it!

Hi,

Any ideas on the simplest way to make it look like this:

we *just* had a post similar to this. It's easy, just use the date()

Re: [PHP] whats wrong in this program.
I think I finally understand what you are trying to do. I don't see
any reason why you need to use the token functions, and I would

to sort the elements of an array... see the end).
I believe this will do what you are trying to do:
//Tokenizer for Babu
$str = '10,12,14-18';
$commas = explode(',', $str); // $commas will be an array of three
items in this case
// Final Values will go into the $final array
$final = array();
foreach ($commas as $value) {
// If one of the $commas elements contains a dash, we need to
get the range between them!
if (strstr($value, '-')) {
// Explode based on the dash. This code assumes there will
only be a single dash
$rangeValues = explode('-', $value);
foreach (range($rangeValues[0], $rangeValues[1]) as $number) {
$final[] = $number;
}
} else {
// If $value does not contain a dash, add it directly to the
$final array
$final[] = $value;

echo "All your values in the range $str are ".implode(' ', $final);
// Prints "All your values in the range 10,12,14-18 are 10 12 14 15

if people are allowed to post copyrighted images to your bulletin board, shouldn't you have some sort of password protection anyway? negating that, i would do it with PHP and not Apache. rather than simply serving up the file raw: why not setup a php script to do URL referring blocking: in the getFile.php file, you could check the referring URL, and then present the file, or not. you would need to move the images out of the web tree, though, so people couldn't bypass your script. it sounds like you need to reconsider what you really want, though.

Re: [PHP] why does this not work?
javascript is a client-side language, while php is a server-side
language... the value you are passing to $width only exists on the
client side, therefore the php server-side boolean fails.
i think you will have to pass the client-side calculated variable of
screen.width to the php server before you can do this properly,
probably through a POST form or GET request. nice idea, though

Re: [PHP] Funky array question
Hello,
what have you been trying for comparison so far that has not been
working?
if you have php 5, you would want to use stripos, which is case-
INsensitive, not strpos, which is the opposite.
Also, note the warning on the man page. you would want to use a
triple equals sign "!===false" because stripos could return a zero or
an empty string which is actually "==false".
http://www.php.net/stripos/
if you do not have php 5, i would use regex so you can get case
insensitivity.

Re: [PHP] Funky array question
sorry, I am mistaken here. I forgot that "!==" is the same functionality as a "===", in that the comparison is made by value *and* type.

Re: [PHP] Funky array question
one more thing... if you have php <5 and >= 3.0.6, you could use
stristr for case insensitive comparison without having to deal with
the slower and more cumbersome regex.

Try that.

I want to create an array like this:

Sort of like a small database in memory. Then I want to compare
each of the rows coming out of a MySQL call, which are sentences,
against this array to see if the FIRST TERM in each array element
is present in the sentence, and then display the SECOND TERM from
the array for each sentence. Make sense? So for these two
sentences, and the above array, here's how I want it to output:
"He used blue paint" - A nice color like the ocean.
"The flower was yellow" - Very bright like the sun.
Can someone help me out with the code needed to search the
sentence to which FIRST TERM appears in it, and retrieve the
SECOND TERM? I've tried too many things and now my brain is tied
in a knot.

Hi,
Indeed a fclose($fp) is needed (wrote it as an example :)).
1MB is more than enough as a buffer. If you have a 53MB file,
what will happen then ?
I have no idea if it's a bug or a feature. Either way I did lose
some hair over this when I switched from PHP4 to PHP5.

Catalin,
Wow, that worked great, thanks.
I'm curious why you set a static buffer of 1024768... why not
just do filesize($file), as shown at http://www.php.net/fread ?
Is it better for memory usage to have a potentially smaller
buffer? Also, you may want an fclose($fp) after the file has
been downloaded.
So is this a bug in PHP 5 or are they just purposely limiting
the abilities of the "readfile" command?

Hi,
I've had a similar problem. The download always stopped at
exactly 2.000.000 bytes.
You have to work around that with:
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
if($fp) {
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fread($fp, 1024768);//see the huge buffer to read into
}
} else {
//whatever error handler
}

Hello all,
I am new to this list and I have searched the archives to no
avail. I am having a peculiar problem when upgrading to PHP 5:
My downloads are now limited to the first 1.9 MB of the file
in question, with the download either terminating at 1.9 MB
or seemingly continuously stuck in a downloading process at
1.9 MB. The code in the PHP script has not changed and all
parameters that I could find that are relevant to this
problem are given below:
the minimal code needed for download:
// $file_to_read is the complete path of the file to
download
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header( "Content-Disposition: inline; filename=
\"$filename \"");
$len = filesize($file_to_read);
header("Content-Length: $len");
@readfile($file_to_read);
php.ini file for both php version 4 and 5 contain the
following settings that may be relevant:
allow_url_fopen = On
max_execution_time = 300 ; Maximum execution time of each
script, in seconds
max_input_time = 300; Maximum amount of time each script
may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script
may consume (8MB)
post_max_size = 200M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
Some additional details:
All files less than 1.9 MB download fine
It is not a corrupted file, because all files larger than 1.9
MB fail after 1.9 MB
The connection is not timing out (download of 1.9 MB takes
only ~15 sec)
Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Marc Liyanage's PHP 5.0.4
Fails for both Safari and Firefox
Fails regardless of "inline" or "attachment"
Fails regardless of "pdf" or "ppt" content-type
This PHP code ALWAYS works for Marc Liyanage's PHP 4.3.4 with
the same settings, above
What am I doing wrong??? Any other parameter in php.ini I
should have set? Any suggestions are much appreciated.
thanks,
Jordan

Re: [PHP] Declaring vars as INT ?
Hello,
you could treat your variable as a string, and use the is_numeric()
function (but this will include floats, too). To answer your question
precisely and accurately, you may have to do regex matching since you
are out of the bounds of int.
However, why, *exactly*, are you trying to confirm that your string
is an integer? It seems to me kind of cumbersome and unnecessary. If
you provide more explicit information on what you are trying to do,
your overarching goal for the script, including what are your inputs
and intended outputs, along with some real code, we can probably find
a solution that will do what you want without mucking about like
this. Just my two cents.

Re: [PHP] Why this doesn't work ?
why don't you just echo your $query to see if it is coming out correctly, before even trying to mess with mysql_query()? I think you should be able to see the problem from there.
