Re: [PHP] Re: A native Windows binding for PHP
Another way to make money on free software is consulting. Many organizations don't have the time, resources, or interest in adapting free software for their needs. cheers, Travis Manuel Lemos wrote: Hello, "Rubem Pechansky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message.. I have designed and successfully prototyped a native Windows binding for PHP. This binding is already capable of doing dialogs, controls, and a lot more with very few lines of code. PHP can thus be used as a tool for developing native Windows applications, so it can compete with several much more expensive languages/environments. Go to http://hypervisual.com/winbind/ for more details. This library will eventually grow into a full-fledged IDE. I believe this idea has great potential in the low-end market given the enormous installed base of Windows users and the ever-growing interest about PHP. I'd like to open the code source *and* make a profit at the same time (although I'm not sure if that's possible), so I'm open to any ideas or business opportunities regarding the large-scale development of this product. What do you think? Does this idea have potential? Would any serious company be interested in investing on a project like this? I think that once you have opened the source code, it is hard to make a profit just from its development. On the other hand you can always open the source of the library and develop closed source extensions or tools that make the development of your library more powerful and useful so it will be an advantage for people to buy those extensions and tools from you instead of developing themselves.

Re: [Re: [PHP] PHP editor]
You are correct, but I believe the bandwidth savings is small. What I usually do for my apps is allow the admin to configure whitespace trimming.

This reduces the code size somewhat, while still leaving the HTML human-readable (newlines are intact). cheers, Travis Arthur Radulescu wrote: What I meant was that it is obiously that eliminating the spaces but not by a blind replacement, the new lines characters and even the tabs will reduce the size of the page which will result in a faster loading and less bandwidth consumed...

Good point, though if this is a concern, the OP will probably use the built-in enforcement of referential integrity and transaction support of whatever database they are running. I don't know what an "OP" is, though I'm not sure it's relevant to my point. What I'm saying is that I don't think it's a good idea to back up a live database, because at that point you can't enforce referential integrity any more. If a single database is spread over files A, B, and C, then in the time it took for a naive backup to grab file A, files B and C may have changed such that the database cannot be restored to an internally-consistent state using files A, B, and C. At this point, enforcement of referential integrity would actually work against you. Bottom line is that I wouldn't trust a backup of a live database, ever. I would take every step to avoid relying on such a backup. *cough* postgresql ;) However, I agree -- don't back up the database directly -- use whatever utilities the database provides to dump the database, then back up the dump.

Re: [PHP] overloaded, overworked ereg statement?
Break it up a little. Try something like this:
$title = preg_replace( "/.*/i", "", $file_text );
$title = preg_replace( "/.*/i", "", $title );
Ditto for body.
Since you're looking for certain tags, it stands to reason that you're
primarily interested in characters after "<" characters. So this might be faster:
$chunks = split( "<", $file_text );
for( $i = 0; $i < count( $chunks ); $i++ )
{
if( 0 === strpos( $chunks[$i], "title" ) )
{
# Title starts after the next ">", so get it.
# If you're careful, you can modify $i here
# as you gather up the title.
}
if( 0 == strpos( $chunks[$i], "body" ) )
{
# Body starts after the next ">"
# Modify $i, but be vewwy caweful.
}
}
The de-commenting is left to the reader.

[PHP] SuExec and PHP
Greetings. We have a need for our PHP scripts to run as the user and group associated with each Apache virtual domain on our Redhat server. Currently, all PHP scripts run as nobody.nobody. I know that the apache suexec module allows CGI scripts to run as the user and group of the virtual host, but that doesn't seem to be the case for PHP scripts run under the apache php module (mod_php). So my questions are: (1) Can we use suexec to force PHP scripts (running under mod_php) to run as the user/group associated with the virtual host? If so, how? Are there any special configuration tricks to make this happen? (2) If we CAN'T use suexec with mod_php, I assume we can run PHP as CGI to solve our problem. However, I'm worried about performance. Have any of you done this on linux? Is it difficult to configure? Do you have to audit all of your PHP scripts? Etc., etc. I did read the pages http://www.php.net/security.cgi_bin and http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.apache.php, but did not come away with clear answers to my questions.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 - instanceof
An instance only exists after it has been instantiated. So you can't know anything about an instance (== an object) beforehand. It's like knowing a person before they are born.

Re: [PHP] A work around my HTTP_REFERER Prob...
How about something like this:
Write a script on server 1 to accept "username" and "password" parameters. If
successful, it echoes "1", if not, it echoes "0".
On server 2, you do something like this:
$s = file("http://server1?login.php?username=$username&password=$password";);
if ($s[0])
{
# User is logged in.
}
You can also write the script on server1 so that it only returns 1 if the
request came from server2.
Disclaimer: I know this scheme isn't airtight, but it beats relying on the referer.

We have two servers:
1. USA - holds most of our databases, and E-mail. but specifically, the

We wanted to be able to allow people to login on on server 1, and getr
authenticated etc, and then get redirected to server 2.
Using http_referer we would confirm that they came from server 1
However, as I discovered, that is not possible.
So what we did was this:
On the login form on server 1, the referering URL to server 2, contains a
varibale called 'secure'
we asign that variable that value of '4654376534' and divide it by the day
(eg: if it's the 12th of may, we divide by 12.. 7th of June, we divide by
7)
I know that this is crackable, but it's just a stop gap measure...
My problem today is this:
It's not confirming the values?
See my code below
session_start();
$today_day = date("d");
$code1 = ($today_day+1) * $secure;
$code2 = $today_day * $secure;
$code3 = ($today_day-1) * $secure;

$_SESSION[logged] = 'true';
$login_info = "You are now Logged in";
} else if ($_SESSION[logged] == 'true') {
$login_info = "You are still Logged in";
}
=
I start by getting the date $today_day
As we're in two time zones, I don't wanna get caught out by the time
difference, so I've created a +/- 1 each side ($code1-3)
and fianlly, asigned the master input variable (the decoder)
Now it all works great..! (all variables echo what they should) however,
I'm not getting logged in?
I'm really stumped...
any ideas?

We have a need for our PHP scripts to run as the user and group associated with each Apache virtual domain on our Redhat server. Currently, all PHP scripts run as nobody.nobody. I know that the apache suexec module allows CGI scripts to run as the user and group of the virtual host, but that doesn't seem to be the case for PHP scripts run under the apache php module (mod_php). So my questions are: (1) Can we use suexec to force PHP scripts (running under mod_php) to run as the user/group associated with the virtual host? If so, how? Are there any special configuration tricks to make this happen? (2) If we CAN'T use suexec with mod_php, I assume we can run PHP as CGI to solve our problem. However, I'm worried about performance. Have any of you done this on linux? Is it difficult to configure? Do you have to audit all of your PHP scripts?

Re: [PHP] making changes on arrays
Hi Katie,
The foreach construct operates on copies of the array values. I usually just
stick to C-like syntax:
for( $i = 0; $i < count( $array ); $i++ )
{
$array[$i] = doSomething( $array[$i] );
}
cheers,
Travis

I want to have an array, perform an action on the

permanently affect the values in the array. Here's
something I've written to test it out how I thought it
could be done:
I'm guessing by now someone can see my error, but I
don't know enough programming to spot it. What I
thought would happen is my values would have the
backslash removed in the second print_r(). What I
would want is for any changes made in the array
(meaning my "values") to be permanent in the array
afterwards. If I can accomplish the code above, I
figure I can create my own functions to affect changes
on values or at least better understand what I'm
looking at in other people's examples/comments at the
online PHP manual.
Thank you in advance.

Re: [PHP] Select from 24 tables
This isn't always desirable, or even possible. I once designed a database to hold characteristics for a series of 70 different tests. There were about 50 different characteristics used in various combinations for each test. Each characteristic could be one of many values. So the characteristics tables all looked like this: id, name, value And the test tables looked like this: id, name, value And the mapping of characteristics to test looked like this: test_id, characteristic_id This is actually a gross oversimplification, but you get the idea. Displaying test results typically required joining 30-40 tables together, but since each characteristic table was small (10-15 entries), performance was acceptable. So do as John Nichel first suggested, and do this: select c1.id as characteristic1_id, c2.id as characteristic2_id from characteristic1 c1, characteristic2 c2 etc. cheers, Travis John W. Holmes wrote: Dave Carrera wrote: Hi List, How do I select data from 24 table in my database.

Michal Migurski wrote: In my experience, it's usually a safe assumption that if you have a bunch of tables all structured identically and used in similar ways, you should probably merge them all into a single table with an extra column that corresponds to whatever differentiating characteristic used to distinguish your original tables. I.e., go with John Holmes' suggestion before you're really up the creek. Up what creek? You didn't really provide any technical justification for your suggestion. In my experience, the best way to deliver a quality application is to start with a fully-normalized database schema, then de-normalize it slightly here and there if performance is really a problem. But I've rarely had to do that. In most cases, an upgrade to a faster server with more memory solves the problem more quickly and cheaply than an application re-write would. On the other hand, I've been called in many times to deal with application problems that arise from using "mashed-together" schemas such as the one you propose. John W. Holmes wrote: > The first thing you need to do is reorganize your database schema and > put all of this into one table.

I don't think it's a good idea to optimize the database schema for the sake of the programmer, who only has to write the SQL one time. Later, when the customer wants to fix bugs, or add enhancements, the pain is far greater. That's usually when I get called in, long after the original programmer has flown the coop. The only times I ever purposely deliver denormalized applications such as you suggest are when the customers are asking for quick-and-dirty stopgap solutions. Then it makes sense to optimize for the application writer. However, I have found that stopgap solutions have a way of becoming permanent. These days, I usually turn down such jobs. cheers, Travis -- Travis Low <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.dawnstar.com> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] php user management functionality
I wrote a job-tracking/workflow management application called Willow Job Tracker. You can download a copy of the free GPL version from here: http://dawnstar.com/index.php?display=ProductDetails&id=780 And there's a demo here: http://dawnstar.com/wjtf/ Login to the demo using admin/admin. Currently, only the MySQL DB is supported, but you can add support for other databases by implementing the Db.class.php for each database. Also, there are no provisions for denying based on IP, but you could add that pretty easily. Though I question the utility of that, since so many people live behind firewalls. As for user registration, you'd have to clone the Add User page to make a Registration page, but that should be pretty easy too. Other than that, I think it has everything you listed. You'd have to rip out the job tracking stuff, but frankly, you could just remove the links and leave the code. There is also extensive documentation to help you get started with your customizations.

Re: [PHP] Select from 24 tables
Hi Michal, Getting back to the original posting, I'm basically saying that I don't think it's a good idea to structure or restructure a database for the sake of simplifying a few SQL statements. Especially if the data being joined is in separate tables for a good reason. Regarding optimizing for programmer/bug-fixer/etc, after thinking about it, I realized that what constitutes "optimization" really depends a lot on your development situation, so I'll refrain from further comments on that. I probably shouldn't have brought it up, sorry. cheers, Travis Michal Migurski wrote: Up what creek? You didn't really provide any technical justification for your suggestion. Up the creek of having to call for help on php-general because you have 24 identical tables you need to join, having never performed a join before. The "pain" only occurs when writing the SQL statements to join the tables. I don't think it's a good idea to optimize the database schema for the sake of the programmer, who only has to write the SQL one time. I wholeheartedly disagree. :) I think that optimizing for the sake of the programmer, the bug fixer, and the possible inheritor of the project is a /great/ idea. Servers keep getting faster, while the human attention span and rate of familiarization with code stays approximately constant, so optimizing your development time is at least as sensible as optimizing SQL select performance, which is probably better handled through well-chosen indexes anyway. Optimizing for the programmer usually translates into thinking about the humans who will need to interpret your code, and making it easy to pick up the gist of your intent. A 24-table join is not a typical characteristic of what I'd consider a well-planned DB schema, whose meaning can be quickly grokked by a newcomer to the project. If all those 24 tables store the same kind of data, then there's no reason to split them up. Of course, we haven't seen the specific usage of those tables in this thread, but I'm basing my posts on the assumption that it's better for the OP to have a "marbles" table with a "color" column, than tables named "red_marbles", "blue_marbles", 'green_marbles," etc. If that's not the kind of data we're talking about, then I stand corrected, and John Nichel's initial response is all that's needed. A huge table count is often evidence of a need for some refactoring. --------- michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/cahttp://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- Travis Low <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.dawnstar.com> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Cpanel accounting library

I'm working on some scripts to manage the [cpanel] accounts directly from PHP
(Scripts will be GNU/GPL licensed).
After STFW, I've not found any good documentation on it, just the short
samples on http://www.cpanel.net/remoteaccess-php.html
I haven't found anything more detailed on their site. I just ended up looking
at the scripts themselves. They are just wrappers around the scripts that are
part of the cpanel installation. If you find more documentation, I'd love to
know about it.
At this moment, I have access to some servers with the accounting libs
installed, but I have no access to the fonts (Which could help to make
it work).
I didn't have to do anything with the fonts. What problems are you having?
If anyone can post a link where to find good docs about this cpanel lib,
and, if possible the source code for it, it will help me so much.
Here's a snippet:
# cpanel idiotically outputs html rather than
# programmatically-useful error codes. Thus, we have to manipluate
# the output before and after calling cpanel function.
flush();
ob_start();
# You can get the $cpkey from the WHM. The rest are yours to fill in.
createacct( "localhost", "root", $cpkey, 0, $domain, $acctuser, $acctpass,
"packagename" );
ob_end_clean();
# Now we check after the fact to see if account was created.
# This is a VERY WEAK test, needs improvement.
$accounts = listaccts( "localhost", "root", $cpkey , 0);
$keys = array_keys( $accounts );
$account_found = NULL;
for( $i = 0; $i < count( $keys ); $i++ )
{
if( in_array( $domain, $accounts[$keys[$i]] ) )
{
$account_found = TRUE;
break;
}
}
There are a few gotchas with this API. For one thing, createacct() always
returns the string "Account Creation Complete" no matter if the account was
created or not. You have to verify the creation some other way.
For another thing, the createacct() function writes directly to the output
stream. So all of the stuff you see when you create an account the normal way
(using the Cpanel web interface) will be displayed unless you stop it. That's
what the flush() and the ob_* stuff does.
If you find more information, that would be great. We can trade notes.
cheers,

Re: [PHP] Get users MAC-address of visitor
I don't think you can get that information. The packet at the MAC level is encpasulating the IP datagram. When the datagram is passed along to another network (e.g. through a router), another MAC packet is constructed, and the payload (datagram) of the original MAC packet is placed into the new MAC packet. At that point, the original MAC address is lost. cheers, Travis Yngve wrote: Hi! I wonder how i can retrive the MAC-address of the visitor using PHP? What i am thinking about is using the MAC-address instead of the IP-address to ban troublesome users from forums etc. If i just use the IP-address some users will just change it. I know that it´s possibly to spoof the MAC address but it´s much harder than just changing the IP-address. Do you think that there is a big speed penalty by using the MAC-address? I could just use it when the users first arrives to the site. Then he/she could be logged in using a session the rest of his visit. I could also store the MAC-address of the user in encoded form in a cookie so that i won´t have to retrive the MAC-address "the hard way" on every visit. Comments and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [PHP] Grab a range of rows from a mysql result
select * from foo limit n, m n == starting index, zero-based m == maximum number of rows to return. You probably shouldn't cross-post to different mailing lists. cheers, Travis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need to grab a range of rows from a mysql result resource. The resource is made up of 1000+ records from a mysql table that I am breaking up to make my PHP application run faster. I have figured out how to compute the range but I don¹t know how to pull out a group of rows within a range from a mysql result resource. Anyone have any insights into how I can do this in PHP?
