Yes. Do NOT use IP adresses as identifiers. Just forget about it. People share connections, e.g. when they are in the same building or when they are using the same proxy. People use domestic/consumer internet connections that have dynamic IP addresses. Identifying people by their IP address is therefore stupid. If it is just to have a key to some data, you could try using a GUID. And check when you generate one that it doesn't already exist (though the chance is extremely small, it is not zero). Or just use some serial number like everyone else does ;) It may look boring to make files like order0001, order0002 etc. But it works.

[PHP] Content Management System in php
I have been looking into some of the CMS' that the php community provides. Now I wonder what the common thoughts about these are. Are they fit for deployment into professtional organisations or simply still on a "idealistic-website" level? I made a trial installation of php-nuke and frankly i'm very impressed on some matters, like its sceduled posting and admin interface. However it lacs some features in the ability to apply a own design, its forum has something left to desire so on. It might work for a site like /., but I doubt it would work very well on a corporate nework. PostNuke might even look a bit better and dynamic. Am I wrong about this? Do anyone got any experiences with eZ publish? What interests me in a CMS, are subjects like: -Ability to use role/group-based access. -Forum options (access/theading/moderation s.o.) -Ability to easily make a design/theme that fits a strict and "ready-set" design. -Ability to incorporate existing web-modules/pages/sites I would very much like to hear your thoughts of this...

[PHP] PhP 4.2.1 (and various)
Hi! I've recently upgraded to 4.2.1, but i have gotten a lot of problems with it. First of all my pbpBB 2.0 forums stopped working (http://utge.dyndns.org/phpbb2/index.php). When you try to log in i get an error, malfomed header request? (im not on the actual machine now :)). I also have problems with logins to my site (jaggu.org). After messing a lot to get sessions working again, I have tracked down the consisten problem to the Header () function. A comment in the manual says "@" should be put in front of all function calls before header(). I tried that, to no use. So my question is, why has that changed, and what do we do now to authenticate users and redirect them to anothe page? And what the hell is this "@" thingy, i cant see to find anything on it in the manual, and search doesnt work for chars like that. I hope you guys can clarify this for me.

That is all well, but if php 4.2.1 interprets any
output (as errors not only screen errors) as something
that is sent before a header in a redirect, there is
no other way (that i'm aware of) around it.
Like this:
$user=$Session["user"];
if(!$Authorized)
{
header ("Location: http://jaggu.org";);
}
this will not work, you have to write:
@$user=@$Session["user"];
@if(@!$Authorized)
{
header ("Location: http://jaggu.org";);
}
To actually get the redirect.
On http://jaggu.org/info.php, you can see that
display_errors = off
In any case, I think you are onto something. I will
try to narrow down logging, to see if that might be
the problem.
Thanks for helping!

It might be "= =" which should be "==". If not, try:
$timespread =array
(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0);

Then you can at least establish where things go wrong.

Thanks for the reply, but it didnt help :)
The code is without errors. What I submitted was
written on the fly to illustrate what i tried to do.
Here is the actual code...
$playername=$_GET['player'];
if (!$playername)
{
..print HTML form code...
}
else
{
if ($playername)
{
$_SESSION['playername']=$playername;
header('Location:
http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/UTGE/index.html');
}
else
{
die ("something gone wrong! Do it properly");
}
}
I also tried with ~all in logging and without logging
at all.

Re: [PHP] Re: isset($a->b) even if $a->b = null
yes, but that assumes you have a defined class. if $a comes from
mysql_fetch_object() for instance you have just a stdobject, and this
method will produce an error.

Re: [PHP] what is my dns ip address
the source of the problem is gethostbyaddr(). it seems to have a 4,5 second timeout, so some lookups time out after 4,5 seconds, while most of them are resolved in < 0.1 second; a radically performance difference. the user written gethostbyaddr_timeout() on the gethostbyaddr man page overcomes this problem, but unlike gethostbyaddr() requires a specific dns address, which seems unavailable from php at the moment. parsing nslookup and similar things seems like a workaround. where does one propose a dns_ip() function which returns the system's default dns ip address? or better yet, to add a timeout value to gethostbyaddr(), or in some other way ensure that lookups return quickly, whether they have an answer or not. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

thanks, but that won't work. i need to see post data from other people out there, not my own data. still a mystery to me why php doesn't let developers see incoming raw data.

[PHP] utf-8 in $_POST
hello does php have any built-in functions to convert post data from whatever format it arrives in to whatever format i wish? example: i use iso-8859-1 internally, and even specify accept-charset=iso-8859-1 in my html, but some browsers (phones) send utf-8 anyway. do i have to manually check if CONTENT_TYPE says "utf-8" and then convert the $_POST array elements one by one, or does php have any built-in functions to ease this? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] utf-8 in $_POST
i specify iso-8859-1 in both header and body:
if two different people post the norwegian phrase "Godt nytt år"
(happy new year), it may appear in the following variations:
[CONTENT_TYPE] => application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=iso-8859-1
$_POST["input"] = "Godt nytt år"
[CONTENT_TYPE] => application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8
$_POST["input"] = "Godt nytt år"
i was just wondering if php had some setting or function that would
make it auto-convert $_POST data into one specific encoding. otherwise
i seem forced to do something like this in the beginning of my php
script:
if(ereg("utf-8", $_SERVER["CONTENT_TYPE"])) {
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
$_POST["key"] = convert_utf8_to_iso8859($value);
}

Re: [PHP] utf-8 in $_POST
the user agents in question are various mobile phones, which as you might guess are premature technology and have their own ways with things. here is an example posting from a Samsung D600 which insists on posting form data in UTF-8 even though i serve it ISO-8859-1 and it claims to support all character sets. [_POST] => Array ( [message] => Norwegian characters: øá ) [_SERVER] => Array ( [HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET] => * [CONTENT_TYPE] => application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => SAMSUNG-SGH-D600E/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 UP.Browser/6.2.3.3.c.1.101 (GUI) MMP/2.0 ) i would consider switching to utf-8 if i knew how make the windows version of emacs work fine with utf-8 text files (and still work with iso-8859-1 files as well).

[PHP] crc check for JPEG file exists
hello is crc32() an acceptable way of managing whether a JPEG file exists (in a database or similar collection)? i mean doing a crc32() on the binary data of the JPEG file, and then check the database if there is already another entry with the same CRC. the database has relatively few images (some thousands). is there any chance of collision (two different JPEG images generating the same CRC) that is anywhere near likely, or is this extremely remote? advice would be appreciated. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] getting timestamp for first day of current week
hello
how do i get the TIMESTAMP for the FIRST DAY of the CURRENT WEEK (ie.
monday 00:00:00)?
i tried using strtotime("monday"), but:
- when i use it on a monday, i get monday THIS WEEK
- when i use it on tuesday thru sunday, i get monday NEXT WEEK
i tried "last monday", "monday this week", "this monday", etc. but
nothing helps.
this code proves the issue (2 july is a monday, 8 july is a sunday)
for($d=2; $d<=8; $d++) {
$time = strtotime("$d july 2007");
$date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("monday", $time));
echo "$date\n";
}
is this a bug, or a locale issue? at any rate, how do i get monday 00:00:00?
thanks!

Re: [PHP] getting timestamp for first day of current week
what i need is that "monday" means "monday this week", regardless of
whether i ask on monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday,
saturday or sunday.
the way php works now, i have to something like this:
if(date("l") == "monday")
$from = date("Y-m-d"); // if today if monday, just give today's date
else
$from = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("last monday")); // when asking on
tuesday thru sunday
it would be nice if strtotime understood the form "monday this week".

I don't see how you figure "clearly makes a mistake". For instance the
following script illustrates a VERY clear behaviour that doesn't seem
mistaken to me, it seems more like a design choice:
You'll notice that it always presents the first such date from TODAY
ONWARDS.
With that in mind it is trivial to get the date YOU want.
Cheers,
Rob.

[PHP] getting the "next" element of an associative array

chris for your suggestion to work, the internal array pointer of $array would first have to be set to point to the current element ($index). but how do you do this? this may seem like childs play, but i actually can't find any documented php function for this. it would be something like: array_set_internal_pointer($array, $index); On 12/07/07, Chris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Olav Mørkrid wrote: > let's say we have the following associative array: > > $array = array( > "red" => "ferrari", > "yellow" => "volkswagen", > "green" => "mercedes", > "blue" => "volvo" > ); > > then we have a current index into the array: > > $index = "yellow"; > $current = $array[$index]; > > now: how do i get the key of the next array element (in this case "green")? > > $next = ?

[PHP] repetition of tedious references
consider the following statement: $language = isset($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]) && $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] != "" ? $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] : "*"; when using strings in arrays that may be non-existing or empty, you have to repeat the reference *three* times, which gets excessive and unreadable. is there any way to only have to write $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"] only once? i know it's possible to supress "is not set" with @, but that just seems wrong in case there really is an error in the statement. i love php, but this is one of my pet peeves. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] repetition of tedious references
if the string is not set, you will get an "undefined index" error when
calling isused(). that's just the problem. you can't reference an
unset string without doing isset first, so putting isset inside the
function is simply too late.

Re: [PHP] repetition of tedious references
rob, yes i thought of this, you could possible even do
function magic($array, $name, $default=null ) {
return isset($array[$name]) && $array[$name] ? $array[$name] : $default;
}
$string = magic($_SERVER, "HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE", "*")
however i wish php would have some built-in support to solve the issue.

Re: [PHP] double output from trigger_error from command line
sorry. still get it twice.

trigger_error(\"hello\", E_USER_ERROR);"
PHP Fatal error: hello in Command line code on line 1
Fatal error: hello in Command line code on line 1
- if i do error_reporting(0) then i get NO lines at all. and if i do
error_reporting(E_NOTICE) and then trigger_error("hello", E_NOTICE) i
get two again.
so there must be some setting beside error_reporting.

My error_reporting level was at 2039 and I did not see the double messages.
But I think you need to manipulate the error_reporting level.
Maybe something like:
php -r "error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); trigger_error(\"hello\",
E_USER_ERROR);"
"Show me every report except E_NOTICE, and then trigger an E_USER_ERROR
which says 'hello'"
