[PHP] Graphics question
I have created a webpage that builds a table and graph using the GD functions. When I switch to another page or select a different month to build the table for, the graph.jpg does not rebuild. I have to press reload to make the graph render using the new data. I have used imagedistroy($pic) in the hopes that this will work, but it didn't. To elaborate on the situation, I first call imagecreate, then run the code to create the bar graph. I then use imagejpg($pic,$graphname) (or something ot that affect. I don't have access to the code at home). I then show the picture using echo ""; Finally I call imagedestroy($pic).

That would cause an error like "call to undefined function." But thanks for the suggestion.

[PHP] Includes inside includes
I've written a class that is calling an include
function to include a setup file. The problem is that
the setup file is in another directory than the class.
I'm including the file using:
include ("../common/setup.inc");
Is there a way that i can make the relative path
inside the class definition specific to the class
definition, not the page that is including the class
definition. I have trouble when I include the class
definition. I get an error that it cannot include
"../common/setup.ini" whenever the class is called
from a directory above common.
I hope this makes sense. and thanks for your help.

[PHP] XHTML and dynamic javascripts
I am working to convert my website to XHTML and ran into a compliance problem with several dynamically created javascripts. According to the XHTML specification, embedded javascripts are now supposed to now be enclosed with . The problem is that it's not supported by IE or firefox and throughs javascript errors.

[PHP] PHP CLI Problem
I am having trouble with a PHP CLI script I wrote to help manage my website. The site is on a shared hosting server where the PHP installation is set up as a CGI. The script creates some backups of my databases and sends them to Amazon's S3 service. First off, the script runs great from the command line when I type "php5 backup.php" but when I type ./backup.php I get an error: "bash: ./backup.php: No such file or directory". I thought maybe this is a problem with the top declaration in the script "#!/usr/local/bin/php5". The problem is that it appears the server has several php5s I can reference /usr/local/apache/share/cgi-bin/php5 /usr/local/bin/php5 But it doesn't matter which one I put at the top of the script, I get the same error. Okay, so I can live with having to type "php5 backup.php". However, when I try to make a cron job from the script, the script never runs. The crontab entry looks like this 1 0 * * 2 php5 /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/htdocs/oregonswimming/administration/backup/ backup.php > backup.log I know the backup never runs because I redirect the output to a file and have an email sent to me upon conclusion of the script. The log file doesn't show anything nor do I ever receive an email. My web host will not provide any support for scripting, so I'm hoping someone here can help. Questions: * How do I determine what to put at the top of the script so that I can just call "backup.php"? * What, if anything, do I need to do to make the script work from cron? I've seen some comments on the web regarding PHP CLI when PHP is a CGI, but none of them seem to apply to me. Thank you in advance for your help.

RE: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
I guess I spoke too soon. Even though the script runs from anywhere (that I have access too), when I put the perl script in a cronjob, the php script just refuses to run. There's no output, just the output from the perl script. And yes, I did set up the perl script to print the output of the php script. Any ideas? Is there some special consideration I have to give to the fact that my PHP installation is setup as a CGI? I've never had this much trouble getting a PHP CLI script to run.

RE: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
D'oh. I wondered why I got that email while I was driving. Thanks for the security tip. I had actually planned on protecting those scripts after I was done getting them to work. I removed the shebang, verified the script still works from the command line but it still doesn't work with Cron. I tried adding `which php5` and that didn't work. If I run it as php, then I'm stuck using php4, so that's not really an option. Cron works on the server because I have several perl scripts running through cron with no problems. In fact, I would probably give up on this given the problems I'm having and write in perl, but the perl modules for Amazon's S3 service are poorly documented and I was not able to figure them out. There are no cron logs and the output is not sent to me after a job has completed. -Original Message- From: Daniel Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 7:52 AM To: Robbert van Andel Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem On Feb 6, 2008 1:55 AM, Robbert van Andel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: [snip] > First off, the script runs great from the command line when I type "php5 > backup.php" but when I type ./backup.php I get an error: "bash: > ./backup.php: No such file or directory".

In this case, use /usr/local/bin/php5, which will almost undoubtedly be compiled as a CLI object, while the ../apache/share/cgi-bin/php5 is most likely a CGI binary or (less likely) Apache module. However, keep this part in mind, as with the first paragraph, for later in the message. > Okay, so I can live with having to type "php5 backup.php".

Are you certain that the user under which the script is executed via cron is yourself? On rare occasions (some BSD boxes, Cobalt RaQ RHL variants, et cetera), cron will not always run as the local user. It may run as 'cron', 'crond', 'daemon', 'nobody', 'unpriv', 'anon', or as whomever the sysop has it configured. > Questions: > * How do I determine what to put at the top of the script so that I can just > call "backup.php"? Doing that is not such a great idea, and here's where the first two paragraphs come into play: remove the interpreter designation line (the first line, containing the #! characters). Make sure the script is enclosed in tags. You can find scripts that written to specifically run as crons that instead have the interpreter designator, but it's just one more thing you'll have to manually change when porting from one system to another, or if your host updates their configuration. PLUS: Keep in mind that, even when using an interpreter designator, you *still* have to enclose your code in the tags (or, if short_open_tags is on, which it probably is, just use tags). Why? Because PHP is set to parse *only* code between those tags, and even if you run the CLI with the -r flag (which allows you to run code without the tags), it will only run /one line/ of code per call. (See: `which php` --help -OR- `which php5` --help) So if you absolutely want to run it as ./backup.php from the local directory, or /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/htdocs/oregonswimming/administration/backup/ backup.php, here are the steps to do so: 1.) chmod 755 /kunden/homepages/23/d117947228/htdocs/oregonswimming/administration/backup/ backup.php 2.)

[PHP] RSS Generation
I am working on creating some RSS feeds on my website using PHP. I'm still learning RSS but it seems easy enough. I managed to create the RSS giving the file a PHP extension. When I tried saving it with an xml extension and adding a .htaccess file to the directory in which the file was saved, I get prompted to save the file instead of being able to view the file in a browser. The only line in the .htaccess file is AddType application/x-httpd-php xml. First off, and I'm sorry that this isn't a PHP specific question, but does RSS require an XML extension? And if it does, how do I get the server to serve the PHP file correctly if I rename it with the xml extension? Thanks, Robbert van Andel

session_start and I found that by adding session_cache_limiter("none")
before session_start resolved the problem

Re: [PHP] question about using sql server with php
We use a linux webserver but have a need to connect to MSSQL databases.
Since I used Fedora, I was lucky enough to find the PHP-MSSQL package but
that has only been available via yum recently. My first attempt at
connecting to MSSQL was much more difficult when I was using FC3.

If you want to get the lastname value of the array you supplied you would do

$value = $foo['facets'][0]['lastname'];
This would give you the HTML form that you have stored in your array.

XSL can display the contents using a bear in mind tho that it also copies the node name. example: copied stuff copying only the inner content can be achieved by doing a select="." however you'll need to have the current node be the one that you want copied. this can be done by using a If anyone else knows of a better way _please_ let me know :) When working with XML and going to HTML ..

RE: [PHP] PHP and XML
Yes, I resolved the problem today by installing this RPM via yum. I had assumed it was already installed because I was able to do some XML parsing without it. I was able to get the XML transformed and it looks good, if I do say so myself :) Robbert -Original Message- From: Rick Emery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 8:05 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP and XML Quoting Robbert van Andel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks, I'm investigating XSL and it looks pretty good.

RE: [PHP] Linux/PHP and Windows/MSSQL
There are freetds rpms out there as well as mssql rpms. I got it to work on a Fedora Core 1 box but since upgrading to Fedora Core 4 I was not able to find any rpms for either because they are not available for PHP5 (yet). If you find any I'd love to know. Sorry I can't point to where I got them with the older version of PHP because those notes are at work.

I set up a proof-of-concept application, using Gentoo Linux (with which I'm most familiar) as my base. Being a compile-from-source distribution with a lot of packages available, I simply had to set the "mssql" USE flag and emerge freetds and php. Voila; connectivity. Not surprisingly, now that my organization has decided to go with PHP on Linux, management wants to use a commercially supported distribution (Red Hat or Novell/SUSE). I was surprised to discover that I couldn't find RPMs for freetds, nor could I find php-mssql RPMs, and the php RPMs available in the yum repositories weren't compiled with --with-mssql. Is my only recourse to build freetds and php from source? I'm certainly capable of doing it, but I won't be the server administrator and I think it defeats what management wants to accomplish with a commercially supported distro (package management with easy updates). Is anybody in a similar environment that has an easy solution, or can anybody offer advice?

[PHP] PHP and MSSQL on Linux
A few months back I wrote the list asking for help making a connection to a MS SQL database from our linux webserver. At that time I was able to make a successfull connection on Fedora Core 1 after installing php-mssql.rpm and a freetds rpm. When I upgradd to FC4, I was unable to continue my project because the RPMs had not been built for PHP5.0.4, whic is the version we run now. Today, I was able to get the version of php-mssql I needed and installed it successfully. I am able to make a connection to our ms sql server using tsql. There is a mssql.ini file in the php.d directory and the mssql.so file is in /usr/lib/php/modules/. Using the get_loaded_extensions fuction, I see that mssql is a loaded module and the phpinfo() function shows me mssql configuration files. All indicators tell me that I should be able to connect. Obvsiously, since I'm posting to the list, you can guess that it's not working. The error message I get back is useless as I'm only told that the connection failed. Does anyone know anything else I need to check to get the connection working? Upon troubleshooting, I found that there is no traffic going to database server when I used TCPDUMP. There is traffic going when I use tsql. Thank you, Robbert van Andel
[PHP] PHP from the command line
I run a linux webserver with Apache and PHP5. Does anyone out there know why a php script would work from the command line but fail when running it through a web browser? In particular, I'm trying to get a connection to an MSSQL server but PHP fails to connect when I run the script with a web browser. My regular scripts (i.e. ones without any mssql functions) work fine from the browser. When I run the script from the command line, the connection succeeds. Any idea if this is a PHP error or an apache error. If this is an apache error, does anyone know what I need to search for to find an answer? Thanks, Robbert van Andel
RE: [PHP] PHP from the command line
>From the web, all I get is that the connection failed. Nothing more useful than that. PHP_INFO tells me that it sees the MS SQL ini file and the MS SQL configuration settings are displayed further down the list. The username and password work in the script because I am able to connect using the exact same script from the command line. -Original Message- From: bruce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 7:28 PM To: 'David Tulloh'; 'Robbert van Andel' Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP from the command line what's the error that you're getting from the web php app... also, what do you get from the php_info() for the web app? this tells you a great deal of information regarding your php/web setup (if you didn't already know!) get us the information and we can help track down your issue... also, is there a user/passwd setup to access the mssql db? -bruce -Original Message- From: David Tulloh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 6:22 PM To: Robbert van Andel Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP from the command line Many linux distributions use a different php config file for the apache and cli versions.

RE: [PHP] Re: post and variables
Essentially, Ross, you can use $_POST variables as a regular associative
array. $_POST values come from the posted values in a form. If you have a
form element called table_name, and your form uses the post method (as
opposed to the get method), your script would have $_POST['table_name']
available to it. As the example below shows, you can then check its value.
The value of $_POST['table_name'] is the value that was entered in the
corresponding form element. In this case, you're looking to see if it's
equal to 1. If you want to output the value of a $_POST variable, you could
do something like
echo "The value of table_name is {$_POST['table_name']}\n";
or if you don't have a free flowing input box you would probably want to
output the value with htmlentities or htmlspecialchars.
echo "The value of table_name is " . htmlentities($_POST['table_name']) .
"\n";
I hope this helps. The previous posters are right though, there is lots of
documentation out there

RE: [PHP] undefined index and php
The question mark and colon is the equivalent for the iif function. It's a short hand for if/else. You start with the expression, and if true, do what's after the question mark and if false, after the column.
