[PHP] mcal installation
Hi, I am working on a site that requires extensive calendar math on it and read about PHP and using mcal with it. I tried configuring mcal to work with it and was wondering if anyone has had any success getting it to work. I followed all the steps I could find, but I have no idea how to set up individual user directories or even if the thing works. I don't even get any errors or output. I make the mcal function calls and... nothing. If anyone has any experience with getting this installed and configured, I would be much appreciated. thanks, johnny p. --- John Patton, CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gameloop, Inc. http://www.gameloop.com Austin, TX 512-699-5534 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] mcal installation
yes. I installed both the libraries. I followed all the directions on the mcal web site for installing it. johnny p. > -Original Message- > From: Sam Masiello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 3:17 PM > To: johnny p.; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP] mcal installation > > > > Since you didn't mention it specifically, I thought I should ask: > > Did you also download the mcal library or did you only include -with-mcal > when you compiled PHP? > > Sam Masiello > Systems Analyst > Chek.Com > (716) 853-1362 x289 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -Original Message- > From: johnny p.

RE: [PHP] mcal installation
Ok, I think I might have it installed correctly, but I'm not sure how to use it. Does anyone have an example on how to create a calendar mailbox, create a calendar event in that mailbox, and then list it? I think that might be my problem. I might not be creating the calendar correctly. thanks, johnny p. > -Original Message- > From: Sam Masiello [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 19, 2001 4:23 PM > To: johnny p.; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP] mcal installation > > > > Did you restart your web server after recompiling PHP? > > Please be more specific on the steps that you did along the way > (perhaps do > them again and copy and paste your command lines to the screen so > we can see > exactly what you did).

[PHP] file storage/downloader...
Ok, here's the prolem: I'm trying to create a feature on my site similar to xdrive.com. Basically I want the user to be able to upload a file and have it stored on my server. I also want to have the ability for the user to download the file at a later time. Account authentiaction is handled, no problem, but I have no idea where to put the files. I create a directory, it may be guessed and even the filename might be guessed and any user may be able to download the file, breaking user authentication. If I store the file in a non-apache directory, how does the user download the file? My goal is to have the second scenario work, create a directory for each user for file storage, and somehow get the user to be able to download it after being authenticated. I do not want to use .htaccess files for this, either. I want it to be seemless with the rest of the features of the site.

I would love to use my database to store the files, but there may be more that 4GB of files, and the documentation says only some OS's support file sizes larger than 4GB. I use RH6.2 and I think this would apply to the ext2 filesys. Perhaps switching to the 2.4 kernel would be a good idea later, and I'll see about changing it then, perhaps. But I like the suggestion about creating a directory for each user and have a script create the links and send the files. thanks again, johnny p. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PHP] login authentication / session handling...
Ok, I'm probably asking something that's been asked rediculous amounts of times before, but I'll go ahead and ask again since I'm finding it difficult to find a common method, or a preferred login and session handling process. So, here goes... I am trying to do what everyone else in the web industry is doing, but I'm a bit new to session handling and login authentication. I have apache + mysql + php4 + ssl on my RH6.2 machine. I have --enable-track-vars on and this is my current setup: 1. login page has username and password text boxes and a link to my https login.php page. 2. after submit, login.php starts a session, opens the database, checks username and password, if valid ?? sets session variable $LOGGED_IN or something like it, sets $USERNAME, and loads the default php page for the user. If not valid, sets a session variable indicating the error, loads the login page again and displays an error message. login page destroys the session. 3. default page loads and check the value of $LOGGED_IN. if 1, then continue loading page for $USERNAME, otherwise loads login page with error. All other pages follow this same procedure. Questions about this: - I also want to have a timeout on the login, user configurable. How would I add this in? Initially a 3 hour timeout would be nice. I'm storing last login and last activity times in the databse as TIMESTAMP values. Should I check this along with $LOGGED_IN before loading the pages? - What is the default timeout on a session? Can I configure that somehow? I can't seem to find a way to make php changes... someone mentioned php.ini somewhere, but I've modified this file with no effect. Even when moved to the configured directory for php.ini (found by doing phpinfo() call). Any assistance, although most likely redundant, would be appreciated. There's so much to sift through and perhaps if someone just points to a good doc on authentication processes, that would help.

RE: [PHP] Unable to fork???
It means there's a limit on number of processes for your user id. If you're using bash, try typing 'ulimit -a' and see how many user processes you are allowed to have. ulimit -a prints out all the limits that are imposed on your user account. then try increasing that number to something higher by typing 'ulimit -u '. If you're using a different shell, do a man on the shell and look up ulimit. johnny p. > -Original Message- > From: Daniel Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 8:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Unable to fork??? > > > I continue to get following error when trying to execute > external program: > "Warning: Unable to fork..." > Anyone know what this means? or how to fix it? > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] Is correct ??
Ahh, date math... I spent 2 weeks trying to solve this once. I'm not
exactly sure what you are trying to calculate here. If you want the
number of days since the year 1601, no problem. I'm not sure where you
get your 1461 from, tho...
here's an algorthm I did in perl, which is fairly similar:
my %day_counts =(1 => 0,
2 => 31,
3 => 59,
4 => 90,
5 => 120,
6 => 151,
7 => 181,
8 => 212,
9 => 243,
10 => 273,
11 => 304,
12 => 334);
$day_count = (($year-1601)*365)+(int(($year-1601)/4));
$day_count += $day_counts{$perp_month};
$day_count += $day;
# leap year
if (int(($year-1600)/4) eq 0) {
if ($month > 2) {
$day_count++;
}
}
# adjust for leap year values that aren't a leap year
foreach my $key (1700,1800,1900,2100,2200,2300,2500,2600,2700) {
if ((($year == $key) && ($month > 2)) || ($year > $key)) {
$day_count--;
}
}
If anyone cares to translate into php, might be nice to have, but
doesn't php have a pretty good set of calendaring functions already?
haven't used 'em yet, but i looked at 'em a little...

RE: [PHP] Symbolic link fails when User Authentication comes in
If you miswrite a CGI script and have lots of system calls, someone could send a command to your script that creates a link to, say, your password file, or something else, and then be able to view it through the web. If you have other users on the system the security hole opens wider. There are plenty of other reasons, as well. I would look for security information on various security websites, like insecure.org, securityfocus.com, etc.. Subscribe to some BUGTRAQ security lists. You will be surprised what is and is not a security hole. And, the more "features" you enable on your site, the more security concious you need to become.

RE: [PHP] Chopping up a comand line return.
Well, I could update your perl code a bit, and try to help with your php
question at the same time...
first of all, i would use he following in perl to avoid the `ls` system
call:
**
$some_dir = "/your/dir/to/read/from/$author";
opendir(DIR, $some_dir) || die "can't opendir $some_dir: $!";
# sorts last modified time, most recent first, and only returns files in
the directory
@files = sort {(stat("$some_dir/$a"))[9] < (stat("$some_dir/$b"))[9]}
grep { -f "$some_dir/$_" } readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);
**
so, given the perl version... here's the php version:
**
$some_dir = "/your/dir/to/read/from/" . $author;
$DIR = opendir($some_dir) || die "can't opendir $some_dir: $!";
while (false!==($file = readdir($DIR))) {
if (filetype($some_dir . "/" . $file) == "file") {
$mtime = filemtime ($some_dir . "/" . $file);
$files[$some_dir."/".$file] = $mtime;
}
}
closedir($DIR);
asort ($files);
reset ($files);
**
PHP's filemtime is equivalent to perl's (stat())[9], which returns
the modification time of a file.
PHP's filetype($file) is equivalent to the grep check in Perl for file
type of file.
All the others are identical.
enjoy,
johnny p.

RE: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming???
Ok, I just started my own company and finished work for my first client (shameless plug here: http://www.alamosawinecellars.com). The problem I had wasn't in pricing my work by what it's worth and how much time I put in it, but pricing it in a way that would work for my client. I ended up making roughly $10/hr., maybe less, for the effort, but I ended up with an extra $1000 in the bank. If I wanted to charge more, I would have had to take a walk and look for another client. My price wasn't based on an hourly rate, but on the project and my client's company size and ability to come up with enough to cover my time. The part of the project that took all my time is in a backend admin tool that allows the client to update their pages whenever they need. The data is all stored in a mysql db. Anyways, I have noticed that for some clients, like my first, charging too much will lose them. For other clients, like medium sized companies, charging too little will send them hunting for someone else. Very bizarre environment to work in, but my suggestion is to judge your prices based on the client's perspective. Interview the client and try to get an idea of what they're looking for. Look at what the client thinks they're getting. Use anything you can to find out what the client's price range is and then set your prices in the middle. And also, everything can be negotiated. my 2 cents... johnny p. > -Original Message- > From: Siim Einfeldt aka Itpunk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 02, 2001 10:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Pricing for PHP programming??? > > > > > >As a PHP programmer and COO of a development and consulting shop, the > >emphasis on hourly rate is something that really amazes me.

I agree.

RE: [PHP] Which Regex library?
well, i would try this:
ereg('([0-9]+\.){4}', $email, $res);
I'm not sure if that will work, but your expression is definitely not
correct. I would reduce it down to its most basic element, perhaps, and
try that:
ereg('[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+', $email, $res);
If that works, then just use that.

RE: [PHP] Parse error on blank line...
I'm not sure where it is, but I agree that you are missing a curly brace
somewhere. Take a break from your code for a bit, come back to it, and
start matching braces. I suggest getting a coffee or some tea.
