[PHP] PHP reading wrong Linux folder
Hello! I'm running PHP 4.2.3 on a Linux web-hosting server. Right now I am trying to work with a PHP script (MLM Multi List Manager, in case it matters) to handle mailing lists. It works terrific on one server, but on another one it has a very strange problem that I was hoping someone would know how to solve. The script is running from a directory, let's call it "phproot". 1) The script first opens up a filename in "subdirectoryA," reads the contents, and closes the file. 2) Then the script does some business, opens ANOTHER file, this time in "subdirectoryB," makes some changes, and closes that file. (It does all this using variables. So, the script in the "phproot" directory does the first bit of business with "$folder1/$file1", then does the second bit of business with "$folder2/$file2".) So what's the problem? The problem is that when the script does the stuff in step 2, instead of just reading and writing the file in "subdirectoryB," it for some reason creates a new subdirectory UNDERNEATH "subdirectoryA"--so now the file I *wanted* to access remains untouched, and instead I have a brand-new directory, "phproot/subdirectoryA/subdirectoryB"! Why is this happening? It's like the script somehow got "stuck" in "subdirectoryA" and now treats it as the root directory from which the script is running. Is there some sort of php.ini setting that's wrong here, some environment setting that causes this weird behavior? Like I said, the script itself worked fine under another setup, so it's not a fundamental script flaw. Any ideas?

[PHP] How do I call a CGI script from PHP?
I'm new to PHP and want to build a basic page. The one thing I cannot find any documentation on is the seemingly simplistic question of how to run a Perl script. I just want to execute a site-tracking script from my PHP page, nothing fancy. .In SSI, I just use the "#exec cgi=" line--is there an analogous command in PHP? Thank you for your help!

Re: [PHP] Kerberos authentication
Well, UC Santa Cruz uses a Kerberos server to authenticate students and faculty onto their network.

[PHP] Newbie needs help with MySQL and multiple databases
Hi, im fairly new to php and mysql and need a little help. im running a forum community and would like to have it run on multiple databases because of performance issues others have encountered using the same software on on database. My question is is it possible to have the software connect to 2 different databases depending on which is needed? and if so will users need to login again when accessing the second database (their user info will only be on the second database.)

Re: [PHP] how to :: multi select
Hi Thomas.
You need to name each checkbox a different name.
alternatively, you can name them with array naming convention.
i.e.
1-1
1-2
2-1
2-2
Checking off 1-1 and 2-2 would create the following variables (assuming
register_globals is on) in the target php script for the form:
$array1=array("value1"=>"Y","value2"=>"");
$array2=array("value1"=>"","value2"=>"Y");
Hope this helps

Okay, so you just want to know the age in years. Must you use php? Here is a
solution using mysql :
SELECT name, dob, CURDATE() as today,
( YEAR(CURDATE()) - YEAR(dob) ) +
LEAST( SIGN( DAYOFYEAR(CURDATE()) - DAYOFYEAR(dob) ), 0) as age_in_years
FROM test_age;
Here is the output :
+--+++--+
| name | dob| today | age_in_years |
+--+++--+
| jim | 1990-08-02 | 2003-08-03 | 13 |
| paul | 1990-08-03 | 2003-08-03 | 13 |
| tom | 1990-08-04 | 2003-08-03 | 12 |

| sam | 1990-12-31 | 2003-08-03 | 12 |
| sam | 1991-01-01 | 2003-08-03 | 12 |

| sam | 1991-09-02 | 2003-08-03 | 11 |
+--+++--+
9 rows in set (0.01 sec)

dob date default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

[PHP] Simple cookie question
This may be a stupid question, but I'm trying to set up a system where I can take a poll from visitors to my website and then set a cookie so that they can't vote more than once (until they clear their cookies at least). Problem is, I don't want to put it at the top of my page, because what if somebody opens up a poll but decides not to vote, then later changes his mind. The cookie will prevent him from voting. I want the cookie to be set right after the user clicks the vote button, but every time I do that, I get an error about headers already being sent. Is there any way around this?

[PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()
I have a couple of scripts that fail with the error of: Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in... I'm new to both SQL and PHP and I'm wondering if I have some setting turned off or what. Here's the piece of code that is failing (the second line fails): $result = mysql_db_query($dbname, "SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY id"); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); Thanks for your help in advance!!
Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()
Well I think you were correct about not connecting to the db, but I don't
understand why. I wrote another little script just to test the
connection.
FALSE)
{
echo "got the db..yea!";
echo $link;
}
else
{
echo "didnt get db...bo";
echo $link;
}
?>
This returns "didnt get db...booResource id #1
I don't understand how I can get a resource ID but then not be able to use
the "news" database. Like I described earlier, this happens with my other
db as well. I can connect to the db through the console or any other
client I have on the physical server and do whatever I want with the db's,
I'm just having problems with php.

Subject:Re: [PHP] Help with msql_fetch_array()
I can almost guarantee that it's not the second line that is "failing",
the problem here is that $result is not containing naything, and that is
normally due to the fact that you are not connecting to the db, or the
table "tablename" is not there.
I use the following format as my "standard" MySQL connect and query
snippet:
$link = @mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password) or die ('Could
not connect!'); //@ suppresses the default error message generated by
this function and the "or die()" bit kills the script right then and
there should it not be able to connect.
mysql_select_db("YOUR_DB_NAME",$link);
$sql = "select * from your_table_name";
if ( $result = mysql_query($sql)) { // checks to see if $result
contains anything before it even tries to fetch an associative array
from it.
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
} else {
echo "Empty result set!";
Note also that I use mysql_fetch_assoc and NOT mysql_fecth_array, as 9
out of 10 times, you don't need the array element id's that is returned
by mysql_fetch_array.

; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1
; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID
; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 0
; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
; The path for which the cookie is valid.

[PHP] Session woes
Hi All, I have a bit of a problem using the session management functions in PHP4. (PHP 4.1.2 in fact) I have a "order wizard" system on my website that is using PHP sessions to track values entered on the various forms across all pages of the wizard. at the start of each page i am issuing the "session_start();" command. Session ID's are passed in the GET string as part of the URL, and form values are posted.. each page submits the user data back onto itself (I have all my validation etc at the top of the document) - thus if the user fails to enter certain values, the page doesnt move into the next step, but instead alert them to their errors. if the form values pass, the form will move on to the next page using a header(location: nextpage.php) command. the problem I have, however, is that on the third page of my wizard, if the user submits only some of the required fields, it submits back onto itself and displays an error as required, but the problem is that when you fill in the missing fields and move on to the next page (in effect back onto itself first, then on to the next page) the fields that had their values missing, are not passed along... Does this all make sense? I can provide all the code samples if need be. I have tested this scenario using a PC running apache under Win2K, and also on a Unix box with Apache - same problem.

[PHP] reading email from stdin
I am working on code that will allow me to read email that is directed to a PHP script (via .forward files) for various purposes, as part of an integrated Intranet project. I have hacked a bit at it and came up with code that "works" for the tests I can throw at it, but I'm not confident enough with my understanding of SMTP to put my code into live use. The most difficult part I've had is preserving the headers so that they can be individually edited but also reconstructed to forward the mail to another address. My question then, is: - does anyone know of any code libraries that exhibit the kind of functionality I'm talking about (the ability to read a mail message from stdin and store it in variables or as an object) Or, if there is no such code already written - is there anyone on this list who is very familiar with SMTP and would be willing to look over my code and point out all the things I am probably to be missing? Thanks - Matt Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS - Having posed that question, I decided to go look at the source for Mailman and Majordomo before I sent it. It seems they both use a C wrapper for running the scripts that receive mail. Does anyone know why that is - security? Performance?

[PHP] Re: Returning non-references still allows access to membervariables?
Regarding the earlier behavior I noticed regarding references: now I've
come across something REALLY weird. Check this out:
myString = 'hello';
// Test function
function testObject()
{
global $object;
// Make a copy of the member variable (no '&')
$newString = $object->myString;
// Return the COPY
return $newString;
}
// Grab the return from the function (notice the '&')
$copiedString = &testObject();
// Modify it
$copiedString = 'goodbye';
// Print the original and the copy out
echo "=== array ===\n";
echo $object->myString . "\n";
?>
Here's the output:
=== array ===
goodbye
Huh?! I even made a copy inside the function! Note that just as before
(see original message), the following change "fixes" things:
function testObject()
{
global $object;
// Create a reference to the member variable
$newString = &$object->myString;
// Return the reference
return $newString;
}
Now the output is as expected(?):
=== array ===
hello
Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I don't think this is at all
the correct behavior.

[PHP] Returning non-references still allows access to member variables?
Howdy all,
I have stumbled onto a reference behavior I cannot explain. Here's my
problem: I'm trying to return a copy of a member variable. The function
is not declared to return a reference, but it seems as if the user can
override this. Here's a non-object example:
Running this yields exactly what you would expect:
=== array ===
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
string(3) "baz"
}
=== copiedArray ===
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
string(3) "baz"
[3]=>
string(4) "quux"
}
So far, so good. This is as expected (even if the caller tries to use
the '&', he's getting the reference to the copy). Now instead of a
global array, let's try the exact same thing with a member of a global
object:
array = array('baz', 'bar', 'foo');
// Same function as before, only it's returning a member variable
function testObject()
{
global $object;
return $object->array;
}
// Grab the return from the function (notice the '&')
$copiedArray = &testObject();
// Modify it
$copiedArray['lyx'] = 'quux';
// Print the original and the copy out
echo "=== array ===\n";
var_dump($object->array);
echo "=== copiedArray ===\n";
var_dump($copiedArray);
?>
Here, I would expect that the results would be exactly the same
(remember, there are absolutely no references in the declaration of
testObject() or in the body; everything *should* be a copy). Here's what
gets printed when this is run:
=== array ===
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(3) "baz"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
string(3) "foo"
["lyx"]=>
string(4) "quux"
}
=== copiedArray ===
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(3) "baz"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
string(3) "foo"
["lyx"]=>
string(4) "quux"
}
Whoa! $copiedArray is now a reference for the member variable! But look
what happens if I redefine the function slightly:
function testObject()
{
global $object;
$array = &$object->array;
return $array;
}
Now I get what I expect again ($copiedArray doesn't point to the member
variable after calling testObject()). So what gives? Why is "return
$object->member;" exempt from the return declaration of the function?
This is an interesting "feature". Not very intuitive...I'd call it a
bug. Has anyone else noticed this? The above behavior happens with
scalars (e.g., strings, numbers) too, not just arrays.
By the way, I'm using PHP 4.2.3.

It was definately included. I know this two ways.

2. I used the exact configure string I used for the module version,

PHP does not support multiple constructors. But, It does support

func_get_num_args():
function issue() {

$args = func_get_args()
} else {
// do something else...

just one little point (i'm glad i don't have to give a setuid lecture) personally
i would make sure that the location of the check file is extremely secure.
under normal circumstances, any user could write the rreboot file and cause a reboot
also, remember to remove the file again in rc.local before cron starts etc.
but i like the idea. its much more secure (from a web perspective).

[PHP] New to PHP form attributes
Hi, I am new to PHP and am more used to JSP. My question is - if I submit a form to a php3 page using action=="" for some processing all is well I can see that form data. After the processing the page is redisplayed - but the data originally sent persits (in the request) this can be a pain if the user was to hit the refresh button then the data is submitted to the server again and if for example the php page does an insert into a database then a new row would be created etc... Is this normal behaviour of php and jsp ? I am not sure but I am noticing it now with php ? Should I be clearing the data from the request somehow after I have done my processing?

[PHP] Newbie scope revisited
I posted a couple of days ago inquiring as to why some inhierited PHP code was not working. I determined that scope was the issue. The overwhelming response I got back pertained to register_globals.

[PHP] Forms
Hi, This is probably more of a javascript question but thought someone here might have an answer. I have a form in a pop up windoe I want this form data to be submited to the window that opened the popup - how can I do this? I have tried setting the target attribute on the form tag to window.opener() but that just opens a new window. Any ideas? Thanks _ Tired of 56k?

The 'size=1' in a select doesn't mean there is only one object in the select, it means only show one object, or one row. 'size=3' would show three rows at a time.

Re: [PHP] Re: Opening large file problem - fopen
Do you have long lines? If not try this:
$file = "error_log.txt";
if (($fp = fopen($file,'r+') !== 0)
{
// Increment the 1024 sufficiently to read enough data, fgets
automatically stops at \n
while ($line = fgets($fp,1024))
{
if ($line != "") echo($line."");
}
}
Alternatively, do you know what the last char or the first char in each
line is? (i.e. an end-of-record or start-of-record identifier)
Try this:
$file = "errors.txt";
$file_size = filesize($file);
$byte_count = 0;
$fp = fopen($file,"r+");
$last_char = "";
while ($byte_count < $file_size)
{
$chr = "";
$eol = "";
$line = $last_char;
while ($eol == 0)
{
//Use this for EOR checking, replace the $EOR with your EOL/EOR char)
if (($chr = fread($fp,1)) === 0 || $chr == $EOR) $eol = 1;
else $line .= $chr;
/** Use this for SOR checking
if (($chr = fread($fp,1)) === 0 || $chr == $SOR) $eol = 1;
else $line .= $chr;
$last_char = $chr
**/
$byte_count = $byte_count + 1;
}
if (trim($line) != "")
{
//Do Something
echo($line."");
}
}
this will need to be modified if you have a multi-byte EOR/SOR, but
hopefully this will give you a good base.

RE: [PHP] I love/hate FrontPage - need another HTML editor.
Have any of you tried using EditPlus? (www.editplus.com) This is a great little editor for HTML, JavaScript, and PHP. You can download extra modules for color syntax hilighting of practically any language you can think of including many different databases. It has some nice useful HTML features and good handling of multiple documents... and most importantly, you don't have to worry about it mangling your code. It is helpful while also staying out of your way. The more I use it, the more I like it. It is simple, elegant, and it gives me all the control that I want. Its inexpensive and comes with a thirty day trial. Check it out. BTW, I do not work for EditPlus or have any association with them other than that of a satisfied customer.

RE: [PHP] I love/hate FrontPage - need another HTML editor.
Sadly, no. As far as I know, it is a completely windows product. I am currently developing on a Windows box using Samba to access the files on my UNIX box from windows. Its not necessarily the best way of doing things and it requires two computers, but it seems to get the job done, and since I need to use Windows anyway for my company's standards of MS Office and Outlook, its tolerable. When running exclusively in UNIX, I run Elvis, a graphical vi with syntax hilighting. XEmacs also is not a bad option, but Elvis is much faster.

This is a standard question where you have two tables that need to be linked in a many-to-many relationship. The answer is that you need a third table, called for example ProjectBids. It has two columns, one for Bid ID and one for Project ID. Each row links one bid to one project. You can enter as many rows as you like, so each bid can be linked to one or more projects, and each project can be linked to one or more bids. But are you sure you have a many-to-many relationship? It sounds like each bid might be associated with just one project. In that case you could just have a column in the Bid table that contains the Project ID. -- 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]

fputs($fp, "$xmlstring");

[PHP] preg vs ereg (performance)
I am in the process of writing an application that does a lot of parsing in
which performance is the key. In the process, I performed some rudimentary
speed testing that yielded some interesting results. Rather than keep them
to myself, I thought I would share them.
I am currently parsing out the contents of general webpages, so for the test
case, I used a string that contained the html to generate a fairly standard
select list (with 31 options). For the first test, I merely wanted to pull
out the name of the select element. I used the following two parsing
commands in a side-by-side timing comparison and ran each in a loop 5000
times to get a larger time value:
preg_match(
"/name=[ ]?(['\"])?((?(1)[^\\1]|[^\s\>])+?)(?(1)\\1|[\s>])/i", $string,
$arr );
eregi( "name=[\"']{0,1}([_0-9a-zA-Z]+)[\"']{0,1}", $string, $arr );
Note: The preg_match expression is actually far more accurate that the eregi
as well as complex. It handles the case of "name=34 multiple>" as well as
"name='my select'". Both expressions were also case insensitive.
The results:
preg_match
Timer: This page was generated in 0.26572799682617 seconds.
eregi
Timer: This page was generated in 1.2171900272369 seconds.
The preg_match is considerably faster than ereg and much more powerful (the
PHP homepage for the documentation), and while the syntax takes a little
adjustment (if you have never used Perl before), it is not that difficult to
convert to. When I replaced all of my eregi statements with their
preg_match equivalents, I found that the parsing portion of my page went
from .46 seconds to .23. When it comes to regular expression pattern
matching, I have come to the conclusion that the only option is preg_match.
Inspired by this revelation, I decided to test preg_split vs split vs
explode. It was not nearly as interesting, but I thought I would post my
results nonetheless.
Using the same string as above, I decided to split the string by the
", $string, $arr );
explode( "", $string, $arr );
The results:
preg_split
Timer: This page was generated in 0.23138296604156 seconds.
split
Timer: This page was generated in 0.22009003162384 seconds.
explode
Timer: This page was generated in 0.14973497390747 seconds.
This really is not too surprising when it comes to explode. If there is no
complex pattern matching, always use explode. preg_split vs split was a
little surprising given my findings above, but in general, it looks like
while there is not much of a difference, split has the slight edge.
Summary:
* If you are doing regular expression matching in a string, use preg_match.
Not only is it much faster, but it is much more powerful than ereg.
* If you are splitting a string by a simple string pattern, use explode.
* If you are splitting a string using regular expressions, use split unless
you need the functionality of preg_split.
Disclaimer:
I have not done exhaustive performance study of all of the possible
scenarios to find discrepancies, but from my observations so far, the above
conclusions have held true. If anyone has any other information, please
post it for us all to share. I hope some of you have found this useful.

include("/file.inc");
require("/file.inc");
include("..\file.inc");
require("..\file.inc");
include("\file.inc");
require("\file.inc");
but it doen't like any of them. :(
I don't want to use a full path relative to the root of the drive or

development server is setup differently to the real web server.

With the editor completely run through a web interface and *preferably* doesn't allow the people access to HTML code. Now I know that's a tall order so I'd settle for anyone out there to let me know any suggestions of completely online web editors (with or without HTML code access).

RE: [PHP] easy quickie..
_Your_ browser has a back button.. great.. There are many situations in which the back button may not be visible/available/appropriate. You may also not want to go back in your _history_, just back to the previous page - and possibly set some variables in the page request. It is far more than a "duplicate" of the back button.

RE: [PHP] XML Parsing Problem
Hi there, This is not a bug.. this is expected behaviour. The string would be chopped up into 3 parts because you have : 1. a string: "Follow-up To Critique of BeOS " 2. a predefined entity : "&" 3. a string: "amp; Mac OS X" There are not actually two ampersands.. you have & followed by amp; - this is so that once it has been parsed you end up with & which will display correctly in most HTML browsers. Note that & is a usually a predefined entity in XML and so will be replaced with "&". HTH Matt. -Original Message- From: Ben Gollmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 January 2002 00:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] XML Parsing Problem Hi all - I'm experimenting with PHP's XML parser for an application that maps XML tags to MySQL database fields. As a test for my parsing program, I've been grabbing XML from the Slashdot news feed (http://www.slashdot.org/slashdot.xml) and inserting it into a database. This is very simple data - blah gets inserted into the 'title' field, etc. However, when there are some strange characters in the title field, the XML parser seems to choke. Here is an example. The title of a recent article from Slashdot looks like this in the XML file: Follow-up To Critique of BeOS & Mac OS X Don't ask my why they have a double ampersand in there... Anyway, the XML parser returns this as three sets of data, instead of one. The array that I get looks like this: $myArray[0] = "Follow-up To Critique of BeOS " $myArray[1] = "&" $myArray[2] = "amp; Mac OS X" This is the data I get back from the parser, BEFORE putting it into the database. I'm echoing each array field to the screen, just to make sure. So I know it has nothing to do with MySQL. The double ampersand shouldn't make a difference - the XML parser should not be interpreting HTML...right? Also, I don't get an error code or error string from xml_parse(). Anyone have any ideas? This is a subtle bug - in fact I had been satisfied with my XML parsing code, and was well into the rest of my application when I happened to notice this.

To do this you will have to point the HREF in your IMG tag to a PHP script. >From that script you should do this: - Pass the correct content-type header (default for PHP is text/html) for example: - Set the cookie as usual - Then send the contents of the image you would like to display, for example: bvr. -- 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] --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: [PHP] XML Parsing Problem
well thats just the way XML parsers work, according to the parser, what you have there is not a single string element, you have three child elements (the parent node being the ).. two string nodes broken up by an entity node. In other circumstances, this behaviour can be very useful.

But why does it break the string up into 3 parts? I think it should just return "Follow-up To Critique of BeOS & Mac OS X".

Related to my last question about the cookies in images, is there any way to get the referrer from the calling page without passing it as an argument to the image generation script?

RE: [PHP] More on images...
Buh. That's the problem. There's no assurance that in will be used from a PHP script, so I can't do that. Mrrr. Let me explain what I'm doing, and someone can pipe up if they have a better idea. I'm writing a tracking module for a shopping cart system, so that we can track where people came to our site from, and correlate that information with whether or not they ordered. Right now, I'm trying to do this with a php script in an image tag, so that I can set the cookies I need. However, I need to be able to get the referrer from the page that is calling the image, and I can't assume it's php. Any advice?

If you have session management then you could just register the variable and it would exist on the next page. Billy --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
