[PHP] MSDE with PHP 4
Hi, Has anyone used PHP alongside MSDE? I've recently taken a brief look at freetds which allows a UNIX/LINUX box to talk to an MSSQL/SYBASE server, but I cannot find any metion of MSDE. Can anyone shed any light on this or report any successes? Cheers Lee -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Disabling Browser "BACK" button
An Idea I have just had but not tested. To start:- Page1 - Input Form Page2 - Data Handling (i.e. processing the form) Page3 - Redirect handler. So, User fills in form on Page1 then submits it. Page2 then processes this data and if it handles it correctly it simply sends a redirect (something like a Meta Refresh with time set to 0) to Page3 which then sends you onto the final page. By using a querystring variable and checking this in page2 you could probably get rid of Page3 and have its part handled in page2. I hope this makes sense.

Another interesting point would be to see if your program is made correctly, so your script(s) will handle just the right stuff. That is, if you point your form in Page1 to a Script in Page2, you should be pretty sure that it will handle the right stuff. After all the handling was done, you should be able to unset the variables in order *FORBID* the user to push the REFRESH or BACK buttons, submitting the data all over again. > -Original Message- > From: Petre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 2:50 PM > To: César Aracena > Cc: php-general > Subject: Re: [PHP] Disabling Browser "BACK" button > > I hear you, but how do I know if the POST comes from a valid form > submit, or from a "back" ?

You can have mutiple apache servers running on the same machine as long as you have used the "Listen IP:Port" Directive on each Apache server Instance to limit the IP it listens to. Therefore as long as each site has its own IP address you would not need to use different ports. I am not aware of any ISP/web host that runs like this though, due to the extract resources (e.g. memory & CPU time) required to run the muliple instances.

[PHP] ASP style "application-level" variables
Hi, Apologies if this question has already been asked in the past, but I have only just registered for this list. Does PHP in anyway support ASP style application-level variables in a similair way to how standard sessions are used. Though of implementing this as either files or database records but the additional coding could be more error-prone or eat more system resources than using a feature built into PHP itself. I would be interested to hear other peoples views on this feature. Lee -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] include files or fopen
Hi, I am trying to write a program that is very modular in nature & one of the features I need the user to be able to do is install/uninstall or enable/disable the module though the interface. I have though of 2 ways this could be done, either when the module is installed it adds additional lines to an include file, which means the next time the page is loaded the new module will also be included. Alternatively I though of writing my own config files and using fopen etc to read in the values and store them as appopriate. If I was writing this as a compiled program in C / Java, I would definately use the fopen method as the operation only needs to be done either a program start or when a new module is added. However with PHP the operation would need to be done on each page request. As far as I can tell both methods ultimately come down to opening a file and reading it in, but I would think that the built in include directive would be less of a performance risk that writing my own handler. The problem is by using include files I run the risk of if my script/server crashes half-way though a write or the user makes an error when editing the page directly it would possibly bring down the whole app, where as if I read the values in via my own file & methods I can ensure that the values and syntax are valid before acting upon what is read in. Therefore if my assumptions are correct I am caught between either possibily having a faster program but is possibly not a resiliant to error, or a slower program that is more resiliant and can exit nicely on error. Any thoughs that people have on this would be appriciated. Regards Lee -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Application servers / job priorities ?
Hi, I am developing a portal that will allow users to perform various calculations on their data sets. These calculations (handled by C / Fortran programs) will be run as external processes (and may take up to a few hours to complete). I am wondering if there is something that I can use (either in PHP or as another external process) to act as an application server i.e. allow multiple users to submit requests for calculations, but place these requests in a queue - perhaps associating each calculation with a priority, and handling each request as appropriate. Can anyone suggest anything that may faciliate this? Any links/hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. - Best regards, Lee -- 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] Serious Problems (Apache/PHP/Sessions)
Ive been trying to get IMP 3.0 RC3 (web-based IMAP client) to work under php / apache / imap2000 c-client. When I install php 4.0.6 or 4.1.0 with apache 1.3.20 or 1.3.22 using dso/apxs everything works except for one major problem: After one is logged in (a session is opened) for a while (and other users open sessions), when you click on a page that relies on sessions the page never loads, it just stalls continuosly before timing out to "cannot display page" after about 3 - 4 minutes. If you close your session (close your browser) or clear the /tmp/sessions folder on the server, everything is fine the links work again temporarily. I might think this is something to do with IMP, but Ive tried other IMAP webmail clients, and Ive had the same problem. Ive tried 5 different platform/browser combinations. I have this problem with 4.0.6/4.1.0 and apache 1.3.20+ So next I tried compiling php into apache with -activate-module=php.. and when I do this, Apache segfaults 11 when an imap connection is opened! Ahhh! Does anyone have IMP or any other imap software running under a current version of php apache with a moderate load? Thanks, Lee

[PHP] fputs / fwrites ?
Okay, so I want to open a file, get a small number from it (less than 3
digits) then overwrite a new number (incremented the original by 1) and
close the file.
The goal is to do this in the fastest way possible .. I don't like having to
open the file more than once to do this.
I've tried:
$cfile = fopen("lcnt.txt", 'r+');
$lcnt = fgets($cfile,10);
This results in $lcnt having a value of 1 (from value in text file)
Now, if I increment it:
$nc = $lcnt+1;
then write it back to the file:
$nul = fwrite($cfile, $nc);
It writes starting at where the last read left off -- I want to start at
zero offset so to overwrite the existing value. I can't find a method for
resetting the offset pointer without having to close the file and reopen it
with w+
There must be a simpler way to do this and I have a mental block.

My personal recommendation to you would be to install Apache on Windows with the relevent PHP download, remember that certain features of PHP won't work though a CGI executable with I believe is still the only stable way of running PHP though IIS. I normally have IIS running on a port other than 80 which allows me0 to have both the IIS and Apache available simultaniously. Hope some of this helps.

IMHO they are not very good for storing information that could potentially store multi-line content. I don't recall any programs using multi-line content back in the win-3.1 days. You wish to try using some other form of delimiter (or if available a database). For example. Using "**" to seperate records and "--" to indicate that start and end of the text data, e.g. month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- ** month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- ** month:day:year:time:bands:venue -- Event description, line 1 Event description, line 2 -- This is only a simple example, but may solve your problem. The only issues with doing this that I can see is that it would require a lot more work of the programmer but should not be to difficult to implement.

Some HTML stuff

there is also the question what happened when I include this file from
another file -I think the include should be at the top and then later on the
file should simply call the function - much like H file in C

[PHP] Debugging a Session Problem
I'm moving an application that I'm in the trying to move to a new platform. It was running fine on an older Linux platform with PHP 4.0.3 and Apache 1.3.14. The new platform is also Linux, with PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 1.2.26 -- with register_globals on. (I just upgraded it from 4.2.2.36 to 4.2.2.69 which is the latest rpm on SuSE's site, with no change in the problem.) The symptom is that when I attempt to save a session variable, it creates the session file in /tmp, but with a zero length - no variable names or values stored. (/tmp is globally read/write) This happens not only with the application I'm moving, but also with the "world's simplest global test pages" below. [page1.php] [page2.php] "; ?> You can try it yourself at http://4.43.81.92/page1.php and also see PHPinfo at http://4.43.81.92/phpinfo.php Because no one else seems to have this problem, I assume it's something on my system, or in the way things are set up, as opposed to a PHP code problem. What I'm looking for is any hints or tips of how to begin debugging it and finding how come it will create the session files, but leave them with zero length and no information... Any suggestions would be appreciated... Lee Stewart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yes, cookies are enabled in the browser (and the same browser works with the application on the old system). And no .htaccess files. When I set error_reporting to E_ALL I do get: Notice: Undefined variable: test in /srv/www/htdocs/etrak/page2.php on line 3 which is the reference to $test in echo "test is $test"; because $test was to have been a session variable, but wasn't passed.

RE: [PHP] Debugging a Session Problem
I agree that it's probably a config problem -- somewhere... Yes, the session ID is passed correctly, but since page1.php doesn't end up with any variables or values in the session file, so regardless that it has the right session ID, there's nothing in the session file to restore... The php.ini file is in /etc/php.ini (but that's where it's supposed to be in this distribution), and phpinfo shows it there, and when I turn register_globals on and off there, I see it change both in phpinfo and from a php script.

Yes, it can be better to pass in a variable (by reference if you need
to write to it from within a function and not have it as the value
that you return), e.g.
function doSomething(&$a){
$a = 20;
return true; // to signify success
}
$a = 10;
doSomething($a);
echo $a; // prints 20

Hi, I am using $_SESSION and each php page has session_start() Session Handling is working fine, except for one problem: when I close my browser and re-open it again, I am still logged in. I tested the log in and log out functions and they work fine. How can I terminate a session when the user closes the browser?

[PHP] my i ramble for a while?
I am posting this message to the php.general newsgroup because I used php to construct the dynamic portion of our site and because I value the opinions of many people who frequently post here. I hope that this will not be viewed as off-topic --if it is, I will take it elsewhere. At affero we are beginning to think in terms of publishing certain data to whomsoever might wish to use it for whatever reason. Here's a first cut attempt to provide such a service: http://pws.affero.net/hof/topPatrons returns an HTML ... structure suitable for use as, say, a server side include. Another kind of data which we might publish is what we refer to as a 'dense reputation' or a 'reputation summary'. For an example of a dense reputation you can point a browser at this URL http://svcs.affero.net/user-history.php?u=Poole the dense reputation appears highlighted after the user id on the top line of the page. One of the things that concerns me lately is how to make data such as these available as widely as possible. I have looked in to RSS for a few days and, while I am somewhat confused, I have begun to come more or less to the conclusion that RSS is employed mainly for syndicated news feeds and probably is not appropriate for publishing tabular data and short strings. Maybe some kind of procedure call mechanism, eh? SOAP and XML-RPC seem to be competing technologies, though. If we support one of them, how many sites will be excluded from accessing the data which we wish to make available? Should we support both? XML seems attractive because it can be styled into so many different kind of presentations, but I just can't tell if this would be appropriate. I was wondering if anyone might be able to share thoughts or opinions or experience related to such issues. -lee -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Phasing HTML
OK I am trying to take some content from another site (I have total consent)
and convert all the prices on the site to 5% more. I can get all the content
off the site and display it where I want. I can ereg_replace all the money
to one price such as ($23.50) but I cant change the price based on what it
was before
I am using the following ereg_replace statements to change all the prices, I
have tried several different ideas on how to change them bases on what they
were before but have yet to succeed.
$code = ereg_replace('[^[:space:]][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][^0-9][0-9][0-9]',
(string) $stupid, $code);
$code = ereg_replace('[^[:space:]][0-9][0-9][0-9][^0-9][0-9][0-9]', (string)
$stupid, $code);
$code = ereg_replace('[^[:space:]][0-9][0-9][^0-9][0-9][0-9]', (string)
$stupid, $code);
$code = ereg_replace('[^[:space:]][0-9][^0-9][0-9][0-9]', (string) $stupid,
$code);
I know that the ereg_replace statements arent right for what I want to do
but I need to make them to figure out what regular expressions to use.
Here is what I am trying to make happen:
Select $20.25 from site a
Convert it to $21.26
So basically let P = current price on site A
And P * .05 = price I want to display on my site.

Re: [PHP] How do I hide download link ...
Thanks for the code, I think I am getting there but an empty file gets
downloaded when I load the following script. See any problems?
I verified my server is setup to handle tar files with application/x-tar. I
also replaced ...
header("Content-Type: application/x-tar");
with
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
and it did not make a difference. I am using IE 6 if it matters. Any ideas?

Hi, if using the header command for attaching a file really prevents the user from seeing the actual download link, is it really all that important that the file is read from behind the document root if it is in a very hard to guess directory?

[PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
Hi, I am trying to import some tables from a dump file into a MySQL database from a php web page. What is the best way to do this without using backticks (fpassthru, system, exec or something else) and test for success or failure? I tried the following and while it works, my test for success or failure always produces a "Success" even when I change something to make it fail. I thought system() outputs the last line of the command on success and FALSE on failure. Any examples appreciated. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
Thanks for pointing out the syntax error. I added the space after the -u but
it did not make any difference. It still gives the same result, that is
"Success", when it actually fails. What I am trying to figure out is how I
can tell if it failed (did not create the tables)? The $status variable does
not appear to hold the output of the system() function. Anyone know how to
get the output of system, passthru or exec into the $status variable to
check for success or failure?

Thanks but it still returns "Success" on a failure. If anyone knows if it is even possible to assign the output of system, passthru or exec to a variable to check for success or failure and how to do it, please advise. The $status variable seems to always be empty on success or failure when I try to echo it.

Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Could not get the output (success or failure) assigned to a variable in front of the system call but got it to assign a 0 (success) or 1 (failure) to the return_var argument as you suggested so I am happy. What mixed me up and I still don't understand is the manual entry for system() says ... "Returns the last line of the command output on success, and FALSE on failure." When it says it "Returns", where does it return this information and how can it be captured for comparison? The return_var appears to only return a 0 or a 1. I thought I could capture it by assigning the system call to a variable in front but that appears to capture nothing on success or failure.

Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
Yes, on success the command I am issuing does not produce any output on the command line and thus the $status variable should be blank on success. But when made to fail MySQL does return an error on the command line yet the variable does not hold FALSE as the manual suggests it should or anything else. This suggests, as do a few posts I just noticed in the manual, that one cannot assign the output of system() and perhaps passthru() and exec() to a variable. I think this is only possible using backticks, which I can't use as this needs to be run in safe mode. So I guess I just need to use the return_var as you suggested. Thanks!

Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
Thanks that explains why I did not initially have a space after the -u as I
copied the code from another of my applications that used backticks without
reviewing it. It appears that using backticks is also the only way to assign
the output of a command to a variable as system(), passthru() and exec()
don't appear to be able to do this. Unfortunately this snippet of code needs
to be compatible with PHP installations running in safe mode so I can't use
backticks.

Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
I ran a few tests as well and the few system commands I tried only saved the
*last* line of the output in a variable on success as the manual suggests it
should - better than nothing - but not the entire output as you seem to
suggest you were able to do and what I have been trying to do.

Re: [PHP] How do I import tables into MySQL from web page ...
But if system() thinks it is a success because the command executed, even though MySQL returns an internal error on the command line, why is'nt the last line of the MySQL error message stored in the variable as the system() manual suggests it should be when system() thinks it is a success?

[PHP] Question about using if elseif ...
When viewing examples of using if and elseif I often see the example ending
with an else like ...
if($a == '1'){
echo '1';
} elseif ($a == '2'){
echo '2';
} else {
echo '0';
}
Is there any problem with leaving out the last else and just ending it with
an elseif such as ...
if($a == '1'){
echo '1';
} elseif ($a == '2'){
echo '2';
}

[PHP] search result highlighting / regexp voodoo
At the risk of this looking like a cheap tactic for getting someone else to do my work for me, I'll put the disclaimer at the top. Understand that what I'm looking for is new perspective on a problem that I've spent too much time dealing with. PROBLEM: I want to produce short "snippets" for search result pages. The search results are already partially processed (search terms get wrapped in [strong] tags), but I keep hitting dead-ends with this step. Now, I've tried a wide number of approaches, spent an embarasing amount of time and arrived at no viable solution. Learning regular expressions would probably have been less painfull, but there you have it. REQUIREMENTS: - the snippet should be made up of five words on either side of the search terms. - end product cannot have any unclosed/unmatched tags. SETUP: - Search terms are (already) marked up in [strong] tags with a class attribute of term1 - term3. - No other tags exist in the string (other than aforementioned [strong] tags) EXAMPLE INPUT: The journalist/critic Edmund Gosse begins championing Ibsen in English periodicals. His article "Ibsen the Norwegian Satirist" (Fortnightly Review, January 1873) is later expanded in his book Studies in the Literature of Northern Europe (1879). In contrast, the conservative dramatic critic Clement W. Scott begins writing columns for London's Daily Telegraph; he comes to consider the influence of Ibsen the worst thing that ever happened to English drama. His hysterically negative attack on Ibsen's Ghosts in 1891 will be paraphrased (and reduced to ridicule) by Shaw in the first chapter of The Quintessence of Ibsenism (1891). EXAMPLE OUTPUT: ... journalist/critic Edmund Gosse begins championing Ibsen in English periodicals. His article ... Scott begins writing columns for London's Daily Telegraph; he comes to consider ...
