Well, I have to hedge a bit. HTTP/1.1 supports pushing multiple files through a single HTTP connection. Apache supports this, but browser support is minimal. But I would think it's theoretically possible for PHP to emulate the behavior of Apache in sending the multiple files down the same connection. I wouldn't want to try to make this work, myself.

Wild Guess: Try using \r\n instead of just \n, so you're in strict compliance with RFCs.

Check sendmail path in php.ini Use phpinfo() to be sure it's what you think it is. Use \r\n instead of \n Use 'From: ' instead of 'FROM:' (note spacing) 'Reply-To: ' ...

The maximum string limit in PHP is documented as "How much RAM do you have available?" It seems unlikely that your RAM is limited to 120 email addresses. :-)

There are frequently limits set on To: and Cc: fields in various mail packages.

Change the configuration of your mailer, or use Cc: or break the mailing up or use Manuel Lemos' (or other) mail class.

This hasn't happened yet but sure will some day (probably a Monday):

Emacs make backup files with an extra tile at the end of the filename. As you all know these files never gets parsed by PHP if you haven't made a rule for it in your http.conf - which I hasn't. So, this is a security threat and therefor the ~files must be removed:

rm *~

Doesn't backspace reside too close to the Enter key? One day I will slip 8( This is especially annoying for us in Sweden where asterisk and tile also are next to the enter key.

You have been warned! Solution: Make 'rm *~' an alias.

Hi!

I'm using a database to store specific info from other web pages. basically wget downloads them, awk strips all the extras stuff and adds a some text to the variables. basically the line is this:

$firma=ETL; $ost=112.50; $myyk=113.25; $mutuus=113.50;

if I write it into a php3 file, it work normally, but when I include the line from another page (from a html file, if it matters), it just show's it on screen. I there a way to to not show it and use the lines as a variable. (mysql will then update the info based on those variables)

Any help will be appreciated.

Vim (www.vim.org) has excellent support, once you put "syntax on" in it's ~/.vimrc (though it things .lib and .inc files are COBOL ;) The file "filetype.vim" can be changed to specific whatever file extensions you consider to be PHP.

Yeah, just don't copy or link the .vim file to other filetypes such as phtml.vim, it wont work - you need to alter th filetypes configuration file instead (really easy).

Hi,

The MSSQL code in php is only available in PHP4, and I think you are using php3. What you can do is use an ODBC interface, like iODBC or unixodbc (see their respective .org domains for more info). Those interfaces can then be used to access ODBC compatible platforms using products like ODBC-ODBC bridge (www.easysoft.com) or Openlink's software (www.openlink.com). There is also an xml based ODBC product available which is opensource, but I haven't tested that one (yet). If you have further questions, search the mailinglists from www.php.net for ODBC , lots has been said on the subject.

goodluck,

Sorry for such trivia...

I'm starting to use PHP on a linux box and I'm trying to convert my asp page to PHP on Linux. I have many ASP pages that connect to MS-SQL 7.0. I do not know how to do that in PHP on Linux. The manual makes only reference to the commands not how to install and some sample code. There is a reference to a php_mssql.so but I cannot find it. There is also a reference to an "interface file", but no information on it...

Please help.

Could you clarify that? It makes it sound like PHP3 doesn't have any MSSQL calls, which it does. They only really work in you're running PHP3 on an NT box, but they do work. 8)

Has anyone used the xml based ODBC product? I've also heard about it but haven't had the chance to play with it. If there's someone out there who can give it a little "review" in terms of ease of use, power under the hood, etc... that would be pretty damn cool.

ewps.. thanks for the correction on the php3 part. The xml calls could/should (?) be integrated into php asap it seems..they would make it even better then now. The calls would/should resemble the ones which work with the mssql function on NT as i just learnt ;)

Hi:

I've installed PHP 3 on a Win 98 machine running PWS. Once I did that, I was able to get a short TEST.PHP3 script to run, and if I name it TEST.PHTM3 it also runs, but if I name it TEST.PHP it just comes straight across (no PHP processing). I ran the [php_iis_reg.inf] file and used RegEdit to verify that all 3 extensions (PHP, PHP3, PHTM3) are registered, but PHP files aren't processing. Any idea what could be causing this? When I look at the files in explorer, all three are identified as PHP Script files, and when I double-click them, they all open a DOS window & display the processed output. I also tried installing the 4 beta and got the same results.

Also, I found that I had to turn on the Execute option within Web Sharing in order to get PHP running (instead of just turning on Scripts like I had to for ASP files). Is that the correct behavior?

Thanks, -- Greg

Yes, I agree but I don't want the file to be owned by a different user ! I just want nobody (who runs httpd) to be able to create a file in a directory owned by nobody (itself) !!! I don't understand why a file or directory can be created by 'nobody' in the directory owned by 'someuser' but a file cannot be created by 'nobody' in a directory owned by 'nobody' w/ permissions set to 777 ?

Excuse me for my insistence but I would like to understand the reason !!

I suppose that the control is made upon the owner of the script which tries to create a file but it also could be done upon the owner uid of the directory (which in that case is the same that the uid of the running process).

>Your httpd process is running as user nobody and thus all files are owned by user nobody. That's what I want, but in SAFE mode, PHP only allows files (owned by user nobody) to be created in a directory owned by the same user that the owner of the script but not in a directory owned by the user nobody.

Because safe-mode and unix-level permissions don't have very much in common. If the script that is creating the directory is owned by 'nobody' then this script can indeed create another directory owned by nobody in a directory owned by nobody. Otherwise it cannot.

It could, but that isn't how it currently works unless you use the open-basedir feature.

**********************************************************************************************

For PHP, I like Professional PHP Programming, Wrox Press, ISBN 1-861002-96-3. Seems well-written, especially for a newbie (me), though I'm only through 1/4 of

the book. Also, they're using a combination of PHP, Apache and MySQL throughout

the book, which is the same setup I'm using.

For MySQL (newbie here too), I too have the O'Reilly book which I like (other than the book's spine falling apart after too short a time). Another one I've been fingering but haven't bought yet is MySQL, by Paul Dubois, just out in the past month or two. The author is one of the writers of the MySQL manual, and a few minutes browsing through it gave me a veryphp good impression. It too delves into PHP, Apache, etc.

Lotsa luck,

Curt

Depending on which web server you use.... if you use apache you could put a .htaccess with a filesmatch (i think) for *.pdf and set it to "require group PDFUSERS" or something similar.

If you wrap them in a simple PHP layer, sure. One that spits out the auth headers and then serves up the pdf file through a simple Header() call to set the PDF content-type followed ReadFile() to actually fetch the file and send it out. The PDF files should be placed outside of your web tree.

Kevin,

I tend to do something like

$searchterm = strtoupper($searchterm);

$qry = " select * from news where upper(title) like '%$searchterm%' or upper(story) like '%$searchterm%' ";

Since oracle likes are case sensitive. You may also want to escape characters such as quotes, single quotes etc.

This is exceedingly easy. People have given you str_replace solutions, but they don't seem to have actually read your question. $PHP_SELF and $SCRIPT_NAME both return the full path to a page, so if you want to take all of that off, you'll need the help of regular expressions. Try this:

$myFile = $GLOBALS["SCRIPT_NAME"]; $myFile = preg_replace("|^.*/(.*)\\.php3?$|", "\\1.jpg", $myFile);

The part "^.*/" strips off all of the directories. The part "(.*)\\.php3?" is matched at the end of the string with the 3 being optional just in case you use that instead of .php3 as your file extension. As you can see, I then append a .jpg extension.

See? Easy.

No problems at all, I have even have the oracle_auth and oracle_owa apache modules running fine. It is just the php that is not behaving.

Hi, I want to add a web interface to my linux ib4.0 database. I tried to compile PHP3.0.14 as an Apache module using '--with-interbase --with-apache=...' option. This was done correctly, but now i am unable to compile the Apache itself. "./configure --prefix=... --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a" fails telling me that some gds libraries couldn't be found. Maybe it's because i'm using a little bit "outdated" version of Interbase.

If someone uses PHP+Interbase solution, please give me an advice.

Thank You .. Jan Rychtar hojansin.cvut.cz

That's what I thought at first, too--but I found the problem, and it blew my mind. It's proxies (as you also hinted at). The whole URL apparently got stored via HTTP-GET (i.e. query string), and the "order" was getting resubmitted from time to time by the proxy checking to see if the page was still there. That explains the weird regularity of the resubmitted orders (the timeframe is different for each users, but the time interval for each user is nearly exactly the same each time--usually a matter of days).

I've already worked around it by switching to POST (which I should have had from the beginning--silly me) and cycling through the HTTP_POST_VARS by echoing INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" fields to pass the data on to succeeding pages. Now everything seems to work. As an added insurance policy I've added a random element to the order number, and assigned the number earlier, to ensure that the orders are unique. (Until now it looked as if the orders were all different, which I only spotted because of the timestamps.)

So the lesson of this? Don't use GET for order forms...aaarrrgggh...

On a side note, I'd like to add a shopping-cart like function to the site I'm working on, but would prefer to do it without a database (for hosting reasons, and also I've never used it, so I'm gunshy of trying something new on an important project). Would anyone recommend cookies? Or some other way? Obviously I'd need to store the shopping cart data somewhere...

Thanks,

John

For PHP, I like Professional PHP Programming, Wrox Press, ISBN 1-861002-96-3. Seems well-written, especially for a newbie (me), though I'm only through 1/4 of

the book. Also, they're using a combination of PHP, Apache and MySQL throughout

the book, which is the same setup I'm using.

For MySQL (newbie here too), I too have the O'Reilly book which I like (other than the book's spine falling apart after too short a time). Another one I've been fingering but haven't bought yet is MySQL, by Paul Dubois, just out in the past month or two. The author is one of the writers of the MySQL manual, and a few minutes browsing through it gave me a very good impression. It too delves into PHP, Apache, etc.

Lotsa luck,

Curt

I installed phpMyAdmin on NT recently and have not run into any problems so far. All I did was get the latest versions of PHP4, MySQL, and Apache working and then I copied phpMyAdmin into my webspace. When I pointed my browser at it it worked. No hassles.

phpMyAdmin is a pretty flat application in the sense that it doesn't call or invoke scripts within subdirectories so it doesn't have to deal too much with the issue of / versus \ when specifying paths. The only subdirectory is an image directory. The images appear to work fine which was puzzling because the code references images with a unix forward slash - or I'm missing something.

I did want to ask the question about what approach people use to create file references that work on NT and *nix.

I was thinking of defining an $OS variable in a configuration file and then changing its value when I move from my scripts from my NT box to my Unix box.

$OS = "nt";

Throughout my scripts, I would then check the $OS variable and set the file path accordingly:

if ($OS = "nt") { $path = "images\foobar.gif"; } else { $path = "images/foobar.gif"; }

echo "<img src=\"$path\">";

Is there a better way to create cross platform file references?

If you only care about unix and NT don't worry about it. NT is quite happy with '/' as a directory separator. Win95 and 08 on the other hand are not!

With 60 columns in your table, it sounds like you could normalize that data more efficiently. Having more tables with fewer columns and only grabbing the data you need to display (as opposed to SELECT *) should boost performance. I also agree with the comment re. indices. This could help a great deal.

HI all, I'm making my first mysql site and have a question about the best way to create my tables. The site is a business directory. I have two types of listings free and paid.

free list contains these fields category, subcategory, business_name, address, city, state, zip, phone

& paid list contains all of the above plus url, email, description

I intend to put the records on the page 10 at a time with all paid listings before the free listings. my two questions are:

1. would it be better to make a freelist table and a paidlist table, or a listing table and say an extrastuff table and then join them.

2. depending on how #1 is answered how would the limit clause be written?

Faking posts is my specialty. Here at work, we've used PHP for a multi-tiered back-end, and in order to do so, some of our scripts have to do posts to other pages to get information back (provision accounts, do billing, etc.) If you read the HTTP 1.0 RFC, you can learn exactly how information must be passed. Here's a modified version of the function we use in order to fake posts:

function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send, $port = 80, $authorization = "", $socks=FALSE) { if ($socks) { // This is a file we use to do an fsockopen from behind a firewall // to the outside world. include ("socksify_fsockopen.php3"); $fp = socksified_fsockopen($host, $port, &$err, &$errstr); } else $fp = fsockopen($host, $port);

$data_to_send = "xml=$data_to_send";

// Fix the blocking mode... it doesn't quite work right yet. set_socket_blocking($fp, TRUE); $length = strlen($data_to_send);

fwrite($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.0\n"); if($authorization != "") { fwrite($fp, "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($authorization) . "\n"); }

fwrite($fp, "Host: $host\n"); fwrite($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"); fwrite($fp, "Content-length: $length\n"); fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\n\n"); fwrite($fp, $data_to_send);

// Make a nice value for us to use to slurp up the results we get // back from the linkup file.

$results = ""; while(!feof($fp)) { $results .= fread($fp, 10000000); }

fclose($fp); return $results; }

Notice how this function can not only poke through a firewall, but it can talk to an authenticating server so long as you know the username. You could also use this function to continually poll username / password combinations so long as the server lets you.

Especially notice the $data_to_send variable. Right now, I'm just sending a variable called XML, but if I were to download a page from a site, I could engineer a version of this function that would post to the recieving page exactly what I wanted.

In case I haven't already gotten my point across: POSTS ARE EASY TO FAKE! The only real secure method for blocking this kind of faking is to make note of which scripts your pages submit to, and use the following apache directive (Here, I'm telling Apache to apply protection to all .php or .php3 pages.):

<Files ~ "\.php3?$"> <LIMIT POST> Order deny, allow allow from 255.255.255.255 # Or whatever your host IP is. </LIMIT> </Files>

Then you can check through $HTTP_POST_VARS for the value the last page should have submitted. In my example, I'd want: $HTTP_POST_VARS["xml"]

Hope this helps.

I have Oracle tables set up in UNICODE which are being used to build multiple international sites in multiple languages. This works fine until we start to work with Japanese. I'm assuming the Oracle client will handle translation from Shift-JIS to UNICODE and back if I can set the right environmental variables at the right time.

Well I don't know about the database, but just one suggestion. Have you set the codepage for the page and text you want to work with for the web browser, like: header("Content-language: ru"); header("Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-5");

Obviously you need to find out the codepage for Japanese.

But I guess this is not your problem as it sounds like you already use several other languages.

Oh just one more thing, I think Japenese is: iso-2022-jp So if that is correct you would do header("Content-language: jp"); header("Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-2022-jp");

I think, you will have to check that.

Hi everyone, just wondering, why vars set by DEFINE(...) do not work in a sql-query. Can anyone tell me why?

e.g. DEFINE("_DB_MAIN","database"); DEFINE("_TAB_MAIN","some_table"); //$tab_main="some_table";

$query="select * from _TAB_MAIN" $res=mysql(_DB_MAIN,$query) etc..

If I replace _TAB_MAIN with $tab_main, it works.

I would appreciate any help on this.

I have recently used PhP and MySQL to create a website. It's worked out pretty well. However there is a mysterious problem that causes the site to be horribly slow when viewed through a windows browser (particularly on NT) but pleasantly fast when viewed with a (any) Macintosh browser. I'm not sure whether php might be the problem or what the **** it is. Has anybody had similar experiences? Any suggestions much appreciated!!

Hi!

I'm fairly new to this and although I know how to write code, I'm still not pretty sure about the way .html's and .php3's are treated by the web server. Therefore, let me first explain what I mean:

Say I have a file named helpers.html, which contains (actually much more than!) the code below. I want to execute one external .php3 file named "/php3/helper_day.php3" ONLY inside a particular cell of the table. The reason why I want to do this and not having a single file named helpers.php3 displaying both html and php3 built in, is because this file is constantly being "edited" by a web graphics artist which does not have a clue about php3, but masters for instance, DreamWeaver. The php3 code gets all mixed up by DreamWeaver making it unusable, and I have to keep tidying it up, everytime the graphics artist adds an icon or changes a bit the layout.

So, I'd really prefer to have the code written on a different file, and somehow executed only when required!

Below is a description of where I would require the code to be "called" from, marked in comments with ***!

--- File: helpers.html ---

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="pt-br"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"> <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"> <title>Helpers Schedule</title> </head> <body> <table border="1" width="50%"> <tr> <td width="20%">Saturday</td> <td width="80%">    </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20%">Sunday</td> <td width="80%">    </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

--- End of File ---

Any kind help?

Hi, (in PHP3), I'm trying to do this: replace the first letter in a string with the first letter surrounded by tags, like "Hi all!" becomes "Hi all!"

I'm still pretty bad at ereg, I've been trying to do it but can't seem to get it to work.... Any tips? I've also looked at all the string functions, but there doesn't seem to be one for this kind of thing.

Thanks for any help!!! Peter, Medellin Colombia

here's an example code, I think there could be a faster way.. but this one works: <?php function tagme ($string){ $opentag = ''; $closetag= ''; return $opentag.substr($string, 0,1).$closetag.substr($string,1); } echo tagme("Hi All"); ?>

it's allways faster to use string functions that regular expressions. so it's not that bad i guess.

I would like to connect to an SQL Server with PHP (on my NT box) and I understand that only PHP4 has that functionality.

Is it worth running? How is it? It is stable enough?

Hi,

I've got a textfile containing details about a person in the format:

<member> <name>Joe Bloggs</name> <email>jbloggsyahoo.com</email> <address>14 Foo Sreet Area City Country</address> </member>

This file has been read into a variable $memberdetails.

What would be the best way to extract values for variables $name, $email, $address, etc. from $memberdetails ? I've tried using a combination of substr(...) and strrpos(...), but the code just ends up being far too long winded and complicated.

Thanks in advance.

You could use the XML parsing functions in PHP. You'll have to rebuild PHP if it wasn't built with --with-xml.

It looks to me from some of the traffic on the PHP4 beta mailing list that the XML support will be someone less bare-bones, but I don't really know what it amounts to. If someone more familiar with what's coming up XML-wise in PHP4, any comment would be much appreciated. I've written some code that uses the PHP3 XML parsing routines to construct a tree corresponding to the XML document, but my code seems incredibly awful and ugly to me and I'd be glad to see something better.

Has anyone worked on the Employee Time tracking for project and Project Management type of application using PHP and mysql? I am developing one for my company and looking for ideas, If there are resources I can look at.

I don't think NT RAS will do what your after, as it is strictly dial-up AFAIK.

We use RAS in our company for a single off site user. With DNS and WINS setup, the off site user has complete access to the LAN, just as any other local node. If all you need is HTTP access, you don't need to mess with WINS, you'll just need DNS.

I would suggest making your LAN world accessible via a firewall/router (LRP comes to mind www.linuxrouter.org). LRP should even give you most of the security you need.

This way, you don't need any additional phone lines at your site. Off site clients will simply need internet access of some form.

You can create a sub-domain such as extranet.yourdomain.com. You can use apache's .htaccess (Not too familiar with this yet as far as how secure it is).

You could go one further and create a VPN (virtual private network). S/WAN (I think that's it) will do this for you under Linux. I know NT has this service available too, but I don't recall what additional software (if any) is needed. It's been a while since I researched this.

You may want to check out www.linuxberg.com and look over some of the how-tos. If it were me I would go with a Linux based solution. It will cost you less, and it seems you already have experience with it.

If your any thing like my company, you have a few outdated machines just sitting around collecting dust. You can probably use that along with LRP and do everything you need.

Of course this is all theory based on research I did over a year ago and my recent discovery of LRP, but I am quite certain this is a good direction to look towards.

Hi,

We already use NT authentication from PHP in the 'normal' Intranet situation, so that would not be a problem. Does RAS work from all sites our employees are going to be, like for example banks, transport companies, etc? Another thing is, is NT really secure enough for this kind of stuff?

Maarten (btw, once i get this mess sorted out, i'll document it, and i'll throw in some extra pointers to php and Intranet/Extranet plans)
