Re: [PHP] Redirects in PHP
Search engines frown on using meta refresh because of abuse problems. Some engines won't index the page period and all of them penalize you at the very least. While it will work as you described, you're sacrificing search engine positioning to use it.

Re: [PHP] Redirects in PHP
You're absolutely right. Thus, the need for a server-side redirect. You can use meta refresh as long as the time is set to around 10 seconds without being penalized. I guess you could include a message that you are going to be transferred in 10 seconds, then provide a link for the impatient types, like myself, to get there quicker. michael On Friday 13 June 2003 11:30 am, Zak Johnson wrote: > On 2003-06-13 10:34-0600, Michael wrote: > > Search engines frown on using meta refresh because of > > abuse problems.

[PHP] Redirecting to index.php from index.html
I'm a relative newbie to PHP coming from the Zope/Python/DTML world. Does anyone know of a good way, short of a javascript, to redirect from index.html to index.php. Also, can I use PHP to test for browsers, then redirect them to the appropriate page. In DTML/Python it would be : = 0> This can be called from anywhere in the page.

Here is my actual code so you can look at it and see what I am doing
something wrong. I know I must be, since I don't see how php could become so
popular for site development when it appears to be so difficult to do a
simple test and redirect.
It works fine in forms such as:
" maxlength="50">
But I have yet to be able to do a redirect after a test.

[PHP] calling user-defined php functions from tag
Hi, everyone. There MUST be some creative way to call a user-defined PHP function from an tag. Does anyone have any suggestions? For example: == Click here to start "function joe()". == So, if the user clicks on the link, he'll see: "The result of this function is: 20" Any ideas? Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks! -- Michael -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] calling user-defined php functions from tag
Hi, Justin.
Thanks very much for the reponse.
Yeah, this is a SUPER simplified form of my question, so please don't
expect it to make sense. Heh.
Basically, I have a php file with dozens of functions in it. I want ONE of
them to get called when a link is clicked.
Currently, I achieve this with the use of HTML forms. My form generates a
list of options. And the user has to select an option, then click the
SUBMIT button.
But I want to make it a one-step process, whereby the user only needs to
click on the option.
Of course, you can't achieve this in a form with JavaScript, but the
JavaScript code won't let me execute a server-side php function
(obviously).
And I don't want to just shoot the link off to another page (even though
that's what it was designed to do). I want to call a very specific
function.
Tricky, I know. :(

Re: [PHP] calling user-defined php functions from tag
Hmm.
Hey, Mathieu. Many thanks for the reply. However, I currently AM using a
form. What I'm trying to get away from, is the two step process:
1. pick your option
2. click submit
I'm trying to get a one-step process, where the user can click on a link,
and that calls the function.
JavaScript won't work, because it's client side, and can't be used to call
a server-side php function (unless you tell me some neat trick I don't
know about yet). See my struggle now?

[PHP] Hiding the remote server
Is it possible to write a script that: 1) gathers information 2) upon clicking a "submit" button, "posts" this information to a remote server for processing. 3) the remote server, by default, will generate results and display on it's own web page generated dynamically. 4) can we "intercept" this response back to the browser, parse through the information and generate our own presentation of the page on our site? Example: http://www.siteA.com/change_password_script (I don't know what kind of scripting this is, but it is dynamic) Site A has this interface that takes in the username, old password, and new password. If we change the password at Site A, we would be brought back that same page with a result displayed. What I need is: http://www.mysite.com/my_change_password_script.php?action=change-password Present my own look and feel. Collect the same information (username, old password, new password), and send to: http://www.siteA.com/change_password_script The challenge is that we don't want the url of Site A appearing at any one moment. So we need to get responses from the remote server, parse through for results, and display this information: http://www.mysite.com/my_change_password_script.php?result=success Is this possible at all with just PHP scripting? I am just guessing can the header() function be used to send information like a form-POST? and receive responses that is parsable prior to printing to the browser?

[PHP] MSSQL/PHP Query Help
Hey guys... I'm currently using PHP, FreeTDS, and Sybase libraries to access a database on an MS SQL 2000 server. Things are going fine, except for my more complex queries. Here is an example: SELECT Servers.Name, Nics.MAC FROM Servers INNER JOIN Nics ON Servers.ServerId = Nics.Server WHERE (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA81F")) OR (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA76F")) OR (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA32D")) OR (((Nics.MAC)="0002B34DA31D")); This query isn't even as bad as it's going to get, but I get the error: "Sybase error: Invalid column name '0002B34DA81F'." I get this for each Nics.MAC entry that I make. If I don't include the "WHERE/OR" statement, the query runs fine. The query runs correctly on the MS SQL server itself, but I can't get it to work here. I assume that PHP just passes the query to the SQL server directly, so there must be something that I'm missing. Do I need to escape more than just the quotes? If there is anything I need to know about PHP and MS SQL before I go on, I'd love to hear it. ;-) Michael -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Wait/Timeout
Hi! I've been using PHP to write shell scripts and was wondering how to implement the following: - I have a menuing system - If a user does not give an input within a certain amount of time, I want it to go to a default value I checked the PHP functions page and the closest thing I found was "sleep" which isn't quite right. I'm sure this is a common thing, so does anyone have any suggestions? Again, this is a terminal program and not a web CGI. While I have your attention, I also wanted to create one of those "spinners" while users wait for longer tasks to complete. I tried using the ncurses stuff to print and erase characters, but it didn't seem to work. What is a good way to create a "spinner" so that users know that the program is working. For those who don't know what I mean, I'm thinking of something like... - (backspace) \ (backspace) | (backspace) / (backspace) etc. etc. Thanks in advance!

[PHP] Re: Wait/Timeout
Well, the problem is this. I work for an all-Microsoft company that is currently being forced to take on a number of Linux servers. They have this framework that allows for the automated installation and configuration of servers based on a number of Windows 2000 staging servers and a SQL server. The problem? They want the same framework to build out Linux servers as well. So basically I had to find a way to get these Linux servers to talk to the existing framework. It didn't seem so bad at first, but I had a hell of a time getting the Linux box to talk to the MS SQL server. ODBC didn't seem to work nor did the variety of Perl modules that I tried. The only thing I got to work was PHP (Sybase) and FreeTDS. I really wanted to do this in Perl, but alas, I'm forced to do it in PHP. That's the story. ;-) Michael - Original Message - From: "Taylor York" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Michael" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 9:47 AM Subject: Re: Wait/Timeout > Hum.

RE: [PHP] Include an encoder into PHP distribution?
I've tried installing it but I need MS Visual Studio C++ so they have to make it even easier. Windows Installation Notes == To build Turck MMCache on Windows platform you will need MS Visual Studio C++ 6.0. Step 1. Compiling Turck MMCache - Unpack php sources. - Put mmcache sources under "ext/mmcache". - Put "php4ts.lib" into "ext/mmcache". - Copy "main/config.w32.h.in" into "main/config.w32.h". - Open project file "ext/mmcache/mmcache.dsp". - Select release configuration and build "mmcache.dll".

Oh my god thanks Curt! I don't know when they added that in for windows but now my scripts are flying. My scripts are pretty bloated since I'm using both smarty and adodb and my times were hovering around 1.5 seconds but I installed mmcache and I'm at 0.14 seconds now.

I like POB too but it's an obsfuscator. To fix your $email problem just do a search for $2d4g3a5sd and change them all to $email.

[PHP] merging arrays quickly
say I have
$array1 = array("name"=>NULL,"thread"=>NULL,"id"=>NULL);
$array2 = array("0"=>"fred","1"=>"3","2"=>"");
I want $array1 to have the values of array2 - or $array2 to hve the keys
of $array1
A foreach loop works fine to do this - but I was wondering if there is a
quicker way to merge the values of one array to another array.

Re: [PHP] php applications
This was about half of my point, writing these applications in PHP is difficult, it is a task to be overcome. PHP requires cajoling into being useful. Your solution to "use the Java extension" is peculiarly ironic - yes: Use Java! If the only language you know is PHP i'm sure it looks very capable, and i was, several years ago, in this position (wanting to write various desktop apps in it) the wise and experienced freenode gurus then told me to learn the right tools. Despite how it may look from the myopia of primarily PHP development, PHP isnt a desktop-capable language. It would take a great deal of time and effort to do in PHP what would take a handful of lines in python, due to the extensive library support. Many PHP programmers goes thru' the phase of wanting to write 'http servers', 'irc clients', etc. in PHP. It would be irresponsible to not point them in the direction of more capable languages, when they are in fact, greatly more capable. Eddie Drapkin wrote: While the technology is pretty immature at the moment, due to its under-use no doubt, saying that PHP is never the tool for a desktop application is pretty inane. While the primary developmental lifecycle is geared towards web development (who's arguing that?), there's nothing really pervasive preventing people from using it for desktop apps. Given the recent focus towards closing memory leaks internally and the control of the (new, iirc) garbage collector, I wouldn't say it's a bad idea, resource speaking, to write in PHP (certainly no worse than Java). There's sound support, GTK support, CUPS support, Windows COM / printing support, so the support for the APIs is certainly there (and where it's not, there's ways around it, like with the java extension). Just because you have a hammer that's only been used for nailing particle board doesn't mean it's not suited for hammering into plywood! The only issue I see with PHP is the relative difficulty of making "stand-alone" applications that are bundled with a statically compiled PHP executable, but that shouldn't be too hard to overcome, with a little bit of time and creativity.

[PHP] odd behavior of stripos() with === operator
HEllo all,
After pulling my hair out for several hours trying to figure out why my code
wasn't working I built this little test and ran it, the results are interesting
in the least, and to me, surprising. It is possible that I have done something
wrong, but I checked and rechecked this in the documentation.
It appears there is either a problem with the === operator (or my brain...)
If you don't mind, I'd like to see what you all think.
I am running php 5.2.0 on a linux redhat 9 box with Apache 2.2 (the php 5.2.0
install is brand new, perhaps I set it up wrong?)
anyway here is the code I wrote, and the output from it...
$found = stripos("abcdefg", "abcdefg");
echo "found = stripos(\"abcdefg\", \"abcdefg\");\n"

Hello again,
I have tested and re-tested this to the point I am confident to update this
post with my findings...
given: $haystack="abcdef" and $needle="abc"
any use of " stripos($haystack, $needle) === TRUE " will return a FALSE RESULT.
In other words, if there is ANY chance that $needle will be found at the very
beginning of $haystack (index = 0), you CANNOT USE "=== TRUE", you must use
"!== FALSE".
To me this behavior is counter-intuitive. If something is "!== FALSE", then
"=== TRUE" should also be correct.
I understand why a string found at the beginning of another string returns an
integer 0 (the index at which the needle was found in the haystack) from
stripos(), however, my point is that you SHOULD be able to test this for a TRUE
condition as well as for a FALSE.
I'm not sure why the === operator does not handle this condition, since the
wonderful people at PHP foresaw the problem and fixed !== to handle it, I would
like to see the === fixed to handle this as well (if it is even possible, not
sure about how this is implemented??)

Thanks for your reply Stut.
I understand that the integer 0 and FALSE are different and I read the manual
so many times my head hurts, heh.
There are a few ways to work around this, probably more than I know. (according
to the documentation for strrpos() you could test the return from stripos() for
is_bool before using it), or (perhaps, cast the return from stripos() to a
boolean, although integer 0 probably casts to false :/, I honestly didn't test
this {see >>>}), or (easiest solution...just suck up and use !== FALSE all the
time :D )
My point in posting this was threefold,
1) to help others who may not know that stripos() returns an INTEGER 0 when the
needle is found at the beginning of haystack, and/or don't realize the
implications of that.
2) My main point is that !== works, so should ===. If !== knows the difference
between integer 0 and boolean FALSE, why doesn't ===?
3) to get feedback from the community and deepen my understanding of PHP.
So, I thank you very much for your reply :)
Regards,
Michael

Nothing at all wrong with using "!== FALSE" :) I am doing so NOW :)
However, I DIDN'T know that (integer) 0 !== FALSE and (integer) 0 === TRUE are
not the same thing, perhaps someone else will gain from my experience here.

Re: [PHP] odd behavior of stripos() with === operator *LAST POST*
This will be my last post on this thread of discussion. Thanks to all who replied, I have it figured out. I guess my only problem with the way the !== and === operators work in this situation is this: Logic dictates that if something evaluates to NOT FALSE it must be TRUE. Regardless of the type, regardless of the species, breed, flavor etc. if !== evaluates to TRUE then === should also under the same conditions (all other things being equal) if !== evaluates an integer 0 to TRUE, so should ===, it can't be true and still return a false value. The !== and === operators work differently, they should be complimentary. Sorry if all this has inconvenienced anyone.

Using the tags you describe here, and assuming the source html is in the
variable $source_html, try this:
$trans_text = preg_replace("/(.*?)()(.*?)(<\/div>)(.*?)^/s","$3",$source_html);
how this breaks down is:
opening quote for first parameter (your MATCH pattern).
open regex match pattern= /
first atom (.*?) = any or no leading text before ,
the ? makes it non-greedy so that it stops after finding the first match.
second atom () = the opening tag you are looking for.
third atom (.*?) = the text you want to strip out, all text even if nothing is
there, between the 2nd and
4th atoms.
fourth atom (<\/div>) = the closing tag of the div tag pair.
fifth atom (.*?) = all of the rest of the source html after the closing tag up
to the end of the line ^,even if there is nothing there.
close regex match pattern= /s
in order for this to work on html that may contain newlines, you must specify
that the . can represent newline characters, this is done by adding the letter
's' after your regex closing /, so the last thing in your regex match pattern
would be /s.
end of string ^ (this matches the end of the string you are matching/replacing
, $source_html)
closing quote for first parameter.
The second parameter of the preg_replace is the atom # which contains the text
you want to replace the text matched by the regex match pattern in the first
parameter, in this case the text we want is in the third atom so this parameter
would be $3 (this is the PHP way of back-referencing, if we wanted the text
before the tag we would use atom 1, or $1, if we want the tag itself we use $2,
etc basically a $ followed by the atom # that holds what we want to replace the
$source_html into $trans_text).
The third parameter of the preg_replace is the source you wish to match and
replace from, in this case your source html in $source_html.
after this executes, $trans_text should contain the innerText of the tag pair from $source_html, if there is nothing
between the opening and closing tags, $trans_text will == "", if there is only
a newline between the tags, $trans_text will == "\n". IMPORTANT: if the text
between the tags contains a newline, $trans_text will also contain that newline
character because we told . to match newlines.
I am no regex expert by far, but this worked for me (assuming I copied it
correctly here heh)
There are doubtless many other ways to do this, and I am sure others on the
list here will correct me if my way is wrong or inefficient.
I hope this works for you and that I haven't horribly embarassed myself here.
Good luck :)

Re: [PHP] Need help with RegEx
I just realized I neglected to explain a couple of things here, sorry...
My method will only work for the FIRST occurrence of the div tag pair in
$source_html.
The reason this method works is that you are telling preg_replace to replace
everything that matches the match pattern, with just what is contained in the
third atom of the match pattern. Since we are matching everything between the
start of $source_html and the end of $source_html (the (.*?) atom at the
beginning, and the (.*?)^ atom at the end) your return value ends up being $3,
or the contents of the third atom of the match pattern, which represents the
text between the opening tag and closing tag of your div element.
hope this makes sense, I'm writing this at 5am heh
Cheers,
Michael

The End of string symbol ^ should not be included. I tested the above function

[PHP] preg_replace problem (or possibly bug)
I am currently writing a forum system, but at the moment I have a bug that no one can seem to get to the root cause of. Basically I am using preg_replace with the pattern as "'\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[/url\]'is". However for most links it works fine but for others it just doesn't render the bbcode to a link, we were trying to get to the root cause of it here http://michael-m.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=view_topic&id=31&page=1 but we failed. I'm not really that good with regular expresions so that might explain why. Also we had never noticed these problems until about 3 days ago, but I see no reason why it could have started. All help will be greatly appreciated, you may use the username php and the password php to log on to do your own tests but please keep the testing to the topic (and the spam forum if necessary).

[PHP] stripos kills my script but strpos is fine?
I'm trying to use stripos as a faster and less resource-intensive
alternative to preg_match with the i flag, but I'm getting some strange
behavior.
Here's a test script that demonstrates the problem:
---
$days = array("Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun");
foreach ($days as $d) {
echo "Checking day: $d";
if (stripos($d, 'T') === 0) {
echo "Day is Tuesday or Thursday";
} else {
echo "Day is MWFSS";
}
}
?>
---
When I run this as-is, it prints "Checking day: Mon" and stops. When I
change stripos to strpos, it runs all the way through doing what it's
supposed to. It's as if stripos calls 'die' somehow and strpos doesn't.
AFAIK, stripos should behave exactly like strpos except
case-insensitively. So in the function above, it should make absolutely
no difference which one I use.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
PS: Ignore the fact I'm using days above, what I'm really doing has
nothing to do with date handling. That was just a convenient example to
demonstrate the problem.

[PHP] set_time_limit behavior
Hi,
I am trying to figure out why a script that is set to time out after 30
seconds will run indefinitely. For example,
set_time_limit(30);
echo ini_get('max_execution_time'), "";
echo date("H:i:s"), "";
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
{
sleep(10);
echo date("H:i:s"),"";
flush();
}
echo "Done!";
result:
30
13:54:09
14:10:50
Done!
As you can see, this script ran for over 14 minutes. I have read that
max_execution_time is bound to CPU time, and I am not sure how this
translates into being able to effectively use this parameter.
Comments / insight extremely appreciated.

Re: [PHP] set_time_limit behavior
Hi Jim,
I certainly did overlook the ramifications of the sleep function. I
modified my script so that sleep is not called:
set_time_limit(1);
echo ini_get('max_execution_time'), "";
echo date("H:i:s"), "";
while (true)
{
echo date("H:i:s"),"";
flush();
}
This did time out! But, oddly it timed out only after 10 seconds. Any
ideas of why the discrepancy?
Thanks,

From the online manual:
The set_time_limit() function and the configuration directive
max_execution_time only affect the execution time of the script itself. Any
time spent on activity that happens outside the execution of the script such
as system calls using system(), the sleep() function, database queries, etc.
is not included when determining the maximum time that the script has been

[PHP] PHP support for hexadecimal
Hi,
I have a question about PHP's support for unsigned integers. I was trying
out the following code fragment
$val = 0x8000;
$hexval_str = sprintf("%X", $val);
echo $hexval_str;
result=
-8000
It seems here that I can not represent $val as an unsigned integer. Since
settype does not have unsigned types, does anyone know how I can use sprintf
to format an unsigned value?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!

[PHP] Is this potentially a problem?
Hi everyone! I wrote a script which utilises semaphore and shared memory. It polls the shared memory for an event before breaking from the polling function. I wrote another script that the sets this event in shared memory. How I tested the script was as follows: I ran 3 ttys, two of them running the polling script. Naturally they will be waiting for the event to be set. And on the last terminal, I executed the event set script. Upon execution, both polling scripts were seen to have terminated their polling. Everything seems to be acting accordingly, except for the warning message that appears on both terminals running the polling script. Here is the warning message: Warning: Releasing SysV semaphore id 1 key 0x7b2 in request cleanup in Unknown on line 0 Is this warning message potentially a problem? Or could I just turn off this warning in the php.ini? How can I prevent this message from appearing if it is not potentially dangerous? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Re: BBCode?
This will replace all versions (open and close) of bold, italicize and
underline tags with brackets using preg_replace.
$text = preg_replace("/\[(\/)?([biu])\]/","<\\1\\2>",$text) ;
- find [ = "\["
- match IF slash exists = "(\/)?"
- match one of the following = "([biu])"
- find ] = "\]"
- matches get put into 'memory' (\\1 \\2) even if not found (ie. slash
didn't exist).
- replace with "< 'first match' 'second match' >"
- NOTE : in PCRE regexs, brackets and forward-slashes are special
characters and must be escaped (preceded with a back-slash) when
looking for them as regular characters.
Even if you do not know PCRE yet, don't hamstring yourself looking for a
solution that is too complicated and time-consuming. EREG does not work very
well on this type of problem.
Buck up, learn PCRE and use this type of solution (if you find something that
works for you, use it...by no means does the code above cover every tag
you 'may' want to use).
Builder.com has a pretty good regular expression checker for PERL-style regexs
that make PCRE pretty easy.

Hi,
If you're using PHP on a unix/linux with sendmail you can set the
envelope sender via the 5th parameter to the mail function,
additional_parameters. Normally the envelope sender is the username
that your web server process runs under (usually "nobody" if you're
using Apache), but you can set it to either your email address or an
email address you have setup specifically to catch bounces. Example:
mail('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'Test email', 'This is a test', '',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
Most MTA in existence will route DSNs to the envelope sender, not the
From: header.
Note that sendmail will add an X-Warning header if the user your web
server runs as isn't considered a sendmail "trusted user". The
quickest way to fix this (on Redhat machines anyway) is to put the
username in /etc/mail/trusted-users. Other systems and sendmail
installations may differ, so YMMV.
HTH...

[PHP] Undefined variable error message
All of the PHP scripts hosted on a Linux server I'm working with have suddenly begun producing an error message: undefined variable 'variablename' This occurs wherever a variable name is referred to. I'm concerned about this for two reasons: 1 Will I have to go through each script making substantial alterations? 2 Has the configuration of PHP been altered in some way without my knowledge? The latter would suggest fairly significant security issues. Does anybody have any ideas as to how this might have occurred and the quickest way of resolving it? Or of links to possible solutions?

RE: [PHP] date part[Scanned]
You could use the explode function to break the string down into its different elements with '/' as the delimiter. Problem is if you're allowing users to input the date into a text box you can't be sure how they'll enter the data. The better option is probably to constrain what they can enter with drop down boxes for year, month and day.

Re: [PHP] libcrypt.a and solaris 8
I've recently compiled PHP (4.2.3) with openssl support on a Solaris 8 system. openssl does not have a libcrypt.a library - it does have libcrypto.a. How did you install openssl and what is your configuration line for PHP? I've found it to be best to configure openssl so that it installs somewhere like /usr/local/ssl and to configure php to look at that directory for the openssl linking. It might also help if you told us what error message you're getting. ..michael..

Yes, you need to give imap_set_quota() a username and password of an account that has administrator privileges on your IMAP server. If you were using Cyrus IMAP you'd use an account that's specified in the "admins" section of /etc/imapd.conf. I don't know how this is handled in Courier or UW, but I assume the mechanisms are similar.

from users;

I'm not sure what SET is, never used it, but ENUM is totally
unnecessary in Postgres because it supports foreign keys. If you want
a particular field to only allow ENUM('red', 'blue', 'green') then
create a lookup table, insert these values into it, and then set up a
foreign key. This is more standard anyway, and if you need to update
the set there is no need to touch the database schema.

True, changing schema is a major PITA with Postgres. My only real
complaint about it, in fact...

Just a guess, but where did $adb inside your function come from? It
doesn't appear that you've instantiated it.

To convert TO a unix timestamp:
select date_part('epoch', lastlogin) as lastloginf;
or
select extract(epoch from lastlogin) as lastloginf;
To convert FROM a unix timestamp:
select to_char(timestamp 'epoch' + unix_timestamp, 'FMMM-DD-
FMHH:MI AM');

And there is the major benefit of using Postgres...not to mention
sub-selects, views, unions, etc. Once you get used to these things
it's very hard to give them up.

I don't know of anything built into PHP. There is a Win32 API call
called GetShortPathName that would return the information. Maybe you
can search and find a small binary that makes that API call and
returns it's result. Another option is to use Perl. If you can
install ActivePerl on your server you can use the following script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32;
use Getopt::Std;
use File::Basename;
our ($opt_p); getopts('p:'); my $path = $opt_p;
if (!defined($path) || $path eq '') {
print "Please specify a path with the -p option, for example: ".
basename($0)." -p \"c:\\my long path\"\n";
exit;
}
my $short_path = Win32::GetShortPathName($path);
print $short_path;
exit 0;
