Wouldn't it be better for us that post on the list if the list was
configured so that the replies only go back to the list and not also
to the poster?

I was particularly affected by this spam flood as I got literally hundreds
of messages, as much as those that I have posted to the list since October.

Since the list is allowing all this spam to get back to the poster, more
and more I find myself restraining to reply to messages from PHP lists
because there are always people now and then that have their mailboxes full
or some misconfiguration and it is not fair for posters to pay for those
troubles.

AFAIK, the list is managed by software that handles bounces properly, but
the way it is configured it is not preventing posters to be spammed back
for their contributions. Please do something, configure the list to set
replies only to the list and not the poster. All of use that have been
spammed back will appreciate.

Yes. You can use usort. First you must define a sorting function. Something like:

function ar_sort($a,$b){ if ($a['hits']==$b['hits']){ return 0; } else{ return ($a['hits'] < $b['hits']) ? 1: -1; } }

//Then you need to call it with usort.

usort($ar_values,ar_sort);

At least I think this should work.

Hi all,

I have a bunch of pages that I'm password protecting. Security doesn't need to be great, so my scheme is for each page to check for a "isUserLoggedIn" cookie. If the cookie is there, the page continues normally. If it's not there, it does a redirect to my login form page (login.php3). Also, when a page redirects to the login form it passes its own URL (using $PATH_INFO) to the login.php3 in the querystring. Then, the form passes the URL to the to the form's backend script (loginAction.php3) in a hidden variable. Finally, loginAction.php3, after seting the cookie on a successful login, redirects to that URL it was passed, which is the page the user tried to go to in the first place.so you end up at the page you wanted go to in the first place (instead of some generic "Welcome!" screen).

There's one problem: when loginAction.php3 sets the cookie, and redirects to the desired URL, it looks like the cookie isn't quite set yet, because I get the login screen again! If I log in a second time doing exactly the same thing, everything's fine.

My guessy diagnosis is this: because cookies are defined on the browser, the server only hears about them from the browser. So the flow is like this:

Browser Server ------- ------ Try and go to a page Check to see if the login cookie exists (let's assume it doesn't) Redirect to the login form (passing it the page theuser tried to go to)

Submit login form Check password (let's assume it's okay) Set the cookie Redirect to the page the user tried to go to in the first place

NOW - on the final redirect, the desired page is loaded by a request from the server, not the browser. That may not be 100% technically accurate, but my point is when the server processes the page it's been redirected to, it's not going to see the cookie since the request didn't come from the browser. So it will fail the "is logged in" test and put up the login form again. When the user submits THIS form, it sends the cookie over, so all is well.

I figured most of this out as I wrote it just now. So my questions are 1) am I right, and 2) are there well known workarounds, blah blah blah.

Thanks, Chris

attached mail follows:

I don't use php4 yet, but in php3 using forms you can pass an array by naming the input in question with brackets after the name (eg. name[]). example <form action=wherever method=post> <select name=array[] multiple> <option>one <option>two <option>three </select> </form>

Whatever the user selects will be passed as an array. I haven't tried it but I bet <input type=hidden name=array[] value=$array> would work too.

Not sure quite what u mean? Something like this?

The directives in .htaccess can be alternatively placed in httpd.conf or whatever. The prepend file parses the request URI and decides what content to deliver. If a request is recognised, we set a 200 header and send the appropriate content and if not we set a 404 header and send a nice page with an error message.

In this scheme it is also necessary to have "index.php3" included in a DirectoryIndex directive somewhere (srm.conf?).

Is that the sort of scheme u had in mind?

Hello,

I am looking to a way to search using ldap url. The reason is that some attribute values contain url's.

Like the attribute memberurl, it is a group attribute to contain a URL to all the users in that group.

memberurl: ldap:///o=mycompany??sub?(&(objectclass=inetorgperson)(ou=Department))

So I would be able to grab the memberurl: value, then find all the people for that group.

Is this possible in PHP?

Same problem here :-(

I'm running NT4 SP5 with Apache 1.39 and PHP Version 4.0b4pl1 and MySQL 3.22.30-shareware and phpMyAdmin 2.05 doesn't now work in IE5, or IE4. I can load the page left.php3?server=1 on it's own but

from the framset displays nothing. I don't even get an 'unable to load page' message from IE5.

phpMyAdmin DOES work (sort of) when accessed by a WFWG 3.11 machine using IE3, and it DOES work when accessed by a WebTV emulator from the NT machine, and it does work via Lynx on the NT machine.

Also it doesn't seem to work in any version of NN from either the NT machine or the WFWG one.

> Just wondering if anyone else has had any problems and if >anyone has a possible solution. >

Each page produced by PHP4 has

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0b4pl1 Content-Type: text/html

before the <HTML> tag. If I save the source of the index.php3 page as index.html and then edit it to remove the lines before the <HTML> tag then the two frames load OK, but of course the include doesn't happen.

Think I saw another Email on the list (or might have been a bug report) that mentioned the X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0b4pl1 Content-Type: text/html bit on every page but the solution given seemed to be altering the http headers that Apache sends but as Apache was fine with PHP3 I think the problem lies with PHP4. Maybe the next beta will sort it.

Maybe u could add this line in your php.ini file

expose_php = On

it will stop PHP from exposing that it is used to generate the pages, and maybe it will prevent this error too..... Haven't tested it thou.... Not using PHP4 myself..... Just a theory. :)

Thanks for the suggestion but I'd already tried both options of expose_php

With expose_php = On I get

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0b4pl1 Content-Type: text/html

<HTML> and then the rest of the page

and with expose_php = Off I get

Content-Type: text/html

<HTML> and then the rest of the page

In both cases there are two line breaks after the text/html bit, before the <HTML> tag. The <HTML> tag is the very first line of the .php file.

Maybe I'll have to revert back to PHP3, it's just my hosting provider is using PHP4 on their web server and I don't want to do a load of coding and then find it don't work when I upload it to the web.

Thanks again,

You have a mis-configuration of some sort. CGI scripts *have* to spew out a Content-type line. The fact that yours is showing up in the content of your page means you misconfigured your web server and it is running the php cgi in a strange manner. You could of course run php -q to turn off the content-type, but the real fix is to fix your web server config.

Ran php -q test.php from the command line and the Content-type line was missing. So I edited the Apache httpd.conf as follows

Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe -q"

But the test.php couldn't be displayed from the browser, so I edited the line back to

Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

And now it works! No Context-type line displayed in the browser. No idea why it works, as far as I can see the line in the httpd.conf is exactly the same as when the Context-type line was being displayed, but it does work now.

So my server configuration WAS incorrect.

Many thanks,

Dave

I just finished writing a program using GD with .gif creation. I then changed it to .png images by changing the header and imagegif() to imagepng() and everything worked great. Check your header and try it. If that doesn't work there must be something else wrong.

Hello,

Using php3.0.11, client browser IE5. As usual, I inserted my require function in the beginning, and just after (before everything else in my page), I make a "setcookie", I got an error coz the cookies was sent too late. I remove the require and insert the files directly in my page and everything works good. Have I missed something when I say "require" dont send anything to the client ? or something else ?

Check the beginning and ending of the require()d file to ensure that there are no blank lines before or after the <?php and ?>. Also check the rest of the file to make sure nothing is being printed out. For instance, if the original file is something like:

===main.html==================================== <?php require( "file.inc" ); setcookie( . . . ); . . .etc. . . ?> ================================================

And the required file is: ===file.inc===================================== <--- Blank line here could screw it up. <?php /* This is the require()d file */ $something = "somevalue"; /* do whatever, as long as it doesn't output anything */ ?> <--- Blank line here could mess it up too. ================================================

In theory, output before the setcookie() is the only thing that would cause the error you're finding.

Cheers,

Torben

Hi I am new to PHP. Just installed PHP4beta4Level1, mysql3.22 and Apache1.39.12 on a Windows98 box at home - all from binaries And it works GREAT: kudos to all of you for ironing the install problems out on Windows. There is one small thing though:

the browser keeps displaying a message - "Content-Type: text/html" followed by the usual expected html content. Don't seem to be able to get rid of the "Content-Type: text/html" Any of your comments will be greatly appreciated.

[I have gone through the php.ini, then Apache's httpd.conf, looked through FAQ, and the online php.net e-mail archives, but am still missing something obvious?].

Tried this first: <html>

Hi Ya'll,

I am currently doing some things as root with a PHP CGI running as root. I know, I know, pretty good security issue.

(BTW, I would love to get some input on holes I should plug with that, but I have beat it up pretty good and haven't been able to compromise security myself, know how the scripts work and all of the variable names)

My question:

Is there a way to run one apache that has normal ownership, with PHP, AND run another apache that has PHP and runs as root? Or would it need to be on a different port? (I would prefer to avoid that) I would like to have one parse all .html files, and another parse all .htm files. Files that need to be run as root would have the .htm extension.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Warnings? Flames? :)

attached mail follows:

But to answer one of the original questions, you do have to run them on different ports. If you have a firewall, you could probably configure it so that one external IP address maps to the daemon running on port 80, and another IP (port 80) maps to the 2nd daemon running on port 8000 (or whatever).

Alternatively, if you have 2 separate network adapters on the machine with 2 separate IPs, you could bind one Apache to one IP, and the other Apache to the other IP (using port 80 for both).

I suppose you could force the scripts to be handled by one or the other server by having it do a redirect for all of the scripts that that particular server doesn't handle.

My gut feeling though is that you're better off figuring out a better way to do what you're trying to do. Consider that once you have an Apache daemon running as root, you're exposed to security issues. Limiting what files get processed by this server probably won't improve the security issues by much if at all, and it just complicates the overall site configuration.

Check phpinfo() again and make sure that it contains someting like:

Oracle-OCI8

Oracle version: Compile-time ORACLE_HOME: Libraries used:

> My application fails (actually never returns, I fear) from the OCILOGON > function.

try:

putenv("ORACLE_SID=PROD"); putenv("ORACLE_HOME=/usr/local/oracle/8i/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5"); // or whatever your $ORACLE_HOME is $conn = OCILogon($user_id,$password,$remote_db) or die (OCIError($conn));

That should give a little bit more info as to why a connection failed.

Can the box with php4 / webserver make a connection to the Oracle database server using sqlplus? If it can't then your problem is in your sqlnet.ora or tnsnames.ora files.

Is it possible using PHP to resize an image?

What I have currently is a program where you can upload images into a database, but I'd like all the images to be the same size.

Tnx in advance

I use pnmscale through a system call for that.

-Rasmus

attached mail follows:

Jason,

Rasmus says 'pnmscale', and he's the man. But, I had never heard of it before (even though 'which' determined it was on my system, in /usr/bin). So, just in case you can't use it, you might try 'convert', which comes with some X11 stuff (so I'm assuming you'll have to get it off a machine with X). Mines in /usr/X11R6/bin. Here's a little code on how I used it:

$file = "/some/path/to/write/file/to.jpg"; $URL = "http://www.website.com/some/image.jpg";

exec("lynx -source $URL > $file"); // trying to get it via php would give // me an invalid image... don't know // why, something I did wrong, but this // was easier, anyway, and the script // isn't used very often

$size = GetImageSize("$file"); if($size[1] > 200) { // $size[1] is the y (vertical) $newy = 200; $ratio = ( 1 - ( ( $size[1] - 200 ) / $size[1] ) ); // keep the perspective $newx = round( $size[0] * $ratio );

$convert = "/usr/X11/bin/convert -quality 50 -geometry $newx" . "X$newy $file $newfile"; exec($convert); }

You might want to change the quality from 50. There are literal dozens of options (blur, flip, etc).

Hope that helps,

Hans

This is not public yet, but it has been a while since I started working on a general purpose login/subscription API precisely for application integration. It features user management, user group management, arbitrary resource access permissions management, etc..

I've been working on this on my own, but I have had plenty of requests from other PHP users willing to use a similar system as I have in this site, except that what I am doing now is much more advanced and complete.

http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html?login=1

> 2. they each have their own session management

The session management in the system I have developed allows for the usual login/logout procedures. It won't be as powerful that the support that comes with PHP 4 but it will work under PHP 3 which maybe important if you can't control which PHP version is available on the server.

> 3. some use specific DB backend and don't allow users definable >table/column names for DB

I use a powerful database abstraction layer named Metabase that not only completely abastracts the access but also is able to install database schemas (tables, fields, indexes and sequences) from independent schema description files defined in dedicated XML format.

In a upcoming release Metabase will feature something that is important to minimize table name collision and table definition reuse. It will let you define table bases from which you may define your database tables. Tables bases are sets of fields and index definitions.

You may tell in your database schema definition that you want to define a table based on one or more given table bases. You may specify additional prefixes that are added to the table base field names for the based tables you want to create. Your table may have other table fields defined by yourself besides the fields that were defined in the table bases that were used.

This provides a sort of multiple inheritance for table definitions while it lets you avoid potential name collisions between table base fields and your additional fields. This flexibility may be seen as a way of providing some object orientation features to relational database programming.

Look here for the currently available version of Metabase:

Right.

Not to take the deserved merits of PHPLIB, but one reason I would not rely on it to provide truely database independent access is that there seems to be no support for datatype consistency and this is bad for application portability.

Think for instance of date field representation. Each database vendor ships their DBMS with default date field representation format. If you try an application of yours based on PHPLIB and switch the database driver, chances are that when you need to process date fields it will break because you are not guaranteed that dates come out from the database with the same day, month, year order and field separation.

This is one of many sensitive issues that are handled transparently in Metabase. In the case, all dates come out in the ISO 9601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) and you may always rely on that.

Right. This is one of the cases where the table bases of Metabase will come in handy.

Hey, guess what: that place exists for over 8 months ago in the address I pointed you above. It provides what you are suggesting and much more. It is very popular among those that know it (over 5.000 subscribers by now).

The issue of duplication of efforts have been repeatdly discussed and the conclusion is that there is little intention to merge stuff into only one repository because people don't seem to agree on how it should be provided. So, PHP core developers decided to start their own named PEAR. It is under development and it will be based on PHP 4.

Yes, putting a link in php.net to PHP Classes repository would be a good idea but so far there was no initiative to do so. I think it would be in the best interest of PHP community to have the link listed there as they for other sites. But it takes good will on the PHP core developers to do so.

Yes, I think there are plans for that in PEAR but I suppose it requires some PHP 4 features to have it done automatically.

Yes. I use similar conventions in my personal projects.

The typical approach is based on drivers of polymorphic classes of objects that handle the access to each type of DBMS. So, instead of having functions with big switch/case constructs for the all supported DBMS, you would classes for each type of database that implement their own version of the database access functions you need.

Maybe you would like to try this package named Metabase that provides both DBMS independent access and management of databases. With it, besides developing database independent applications, you can easily install and maintain database schemas (tables, fields, indexes, sequences) using a custom based XML format to define your application database schemas.

Matjaz,

In my experience use PHPLib or at least look at it. Its excelent. They impliment DB connections as a class that is quite nice. I used PHPLib on an earlier project, but since then we have rolled our own DB Abstraction layer and its really not that hard. The only limitation we found with PHPlib was the fact that you could only connect to one database system at a time (ie: per page), and we plan to use several (but it wasnt as big an issue as we thought becasue we still havent come acros that requirement).

How would you do it? Would you put all database related sentences in functions like that: (or do you have any better idea)?

global dbtype

function opendatabase { case dbtype = "oracle" oracle.dbopen case dbtype = "mysql" mysql.dbopen }

Greetings,

I need a smidge of help. My OS is FreeBSD 3.3, MySQL is version 3.22.27 (installed from the FreeBSD Packages collection), Apache is 1.3.12, PHP3 is 3.0.15 (both installed by hand from source).

What I want to do is have a bit of code that will create a new MySQL database, create an appropriate table, then fill the table with data.

Here's a bit of my code:

<?php mysql_connect("<my hostname>","root"); $stamp = date("U"); mysql_create_db("dc_".$stamp); $mydb = mysql_select_db("dc_".$stamp); $createresult = mysql_query("create table test (name char(20), fname char(20), id int)"); $inresult = mysql_query("insert into test (name,fname,id) values ('1000', 'March', 25)"); $outresult = mysql_query("select * from test"); echo mysql_result($outresult,0,'id'); mysql_close($mydb); ?>

The Database is created successfully. The TABLE is never created. I get NO warnings or errors on the line that SHOULD create the table. The only warning I get is on the echo command, because the $outresult contains no data.

I can run mysql from the command line and duplicate the create string to the letter and it works fine. Also, I have tested inserting into and selecting from existing tables with no problems whatsoever.

I have looked at my grant tables, and rootlocalhost as well as root<my hostname here> have CREATE privileges granted.

What's going on? Any help would again be greatly appreciated. :)

Try:

echo mysql_error();

and see what you get. You can have an error in the SQL without having an error in the page, so you won't see any error in the page, but mysql_errror() will output it.

Hello all,

I found a strange thing on this script:

It will print the letters from 'A' to 'Z'(that is I want to do), but(!) also 'AA' to 'AZ, 'BA' to 'BZ and so on ending by 'ZZ';

If I change the for(;;) condition to $c < 'Z' the output is correct(without the letter 'Z', of course).

Can someone explain me this.

The question should have been, are your PHP applications ready for PHP 4? The greatest problem is with incompatibilities. Some incompatibilities are listed but others aren't. One fact is certain is that those incompatibilities are meant to be and if you want to move to PHP 4, first make sure your PHP programs are not affected by the incompatibilities.

Another issue is the the current state of PHP 4 is beta. That means that there are incomplete features and bugs to be solved. I am not moving a production site to PHP 4 until it is officially released as not beta. Even then I will wait a while until some overlooked bugs are fixed.

Right. Personally I wouldn't take the risk of the temptation to move to PHP 4 because I don't want to put up the pain to downgrade because of some bugs that I was not aware that were there. Some people give on the temptation to move, but it's their risk. Just be a little patient if you have a critical sites online. While you wait, nothing stops you from try PHP 4 offline and see how it goes. From my experiences I can tell you it goes pretty fast.

Hi,

I am designing a site where a user has 1 month's free membership, but has to subscribe after that.

I am having great problems in trying to work out how to calculate the remaining number of days their free membership has, SIMPLY, and not by breaking the dates down into their separate components (Year, Month, Day).

I can work out what the current date is, and can get the initial joining date, both in the same format, but how do I subtract one from the other?

FYI the format both dates are in is: YYYYMMDD so I just get: Currentdate: 20000315 Joiningdate: 20000218 which of course makes 97 when the latter is taken away from the former.

The joining date is taken from a Timestamp field set to a length of 8.

I have had a look through the manuals, but there is no mention of date calculations that I can find, and I have had no luck with the archives either.

Also I have a question regarding the Current date...Is this the date taken from the user's computer, or from elsewhere, and if elsewhere, then where? I am just worried that someone could turn back their computer's date and get extended free usage of the site.

I would appreciate any advice that can be offered, but could you please reply direct to me, as I am set on Digest mode.

Many thanks Alexis

this may help; i wanted to do a similar thing just recently to generate some statistics. i assume you're using mySQL? if so the the command to_days() should work. it converts a date to the # of days since year 0, which then allows you to subtract. if not mysql it at least gives you an idea of the type of thig to look for. not necessarily the best way, i'm sure..but workable.

heres a query: $days_left = mysql_query("select ((to_days(Joiningdate()) - (to_days(Currentdate))) from database");

I've developed an application that uses PHP and PostgreSQL to implement a very extensive search engine.. In the beginning there was a need for this search engine to search flat files as well as the database (And qualify the results between the two), at the time I chose to use grep and temporary database tables (it was a feature addition 2 days before the final release date)..

This was all well and good --- until the database grew to over 20,000 records (and about 18,000 flat files).

So, now my method of having grep search the files, return the filename (the files are named by the ID of the record), insert those IDs into a temporary table and make the SQL query qualify all other search results with the temporary table is crazy slow (as one could imagine).. The bottleneck is a combination of grep opening and closing each of the 18,000 files, then adding several thousand records into a database. Multiply this by the number of simultaneous users ( 50-60 ) and you'll see an idea of the mess I created!.

So I'm stuck and I'm emailing for ideas, thoughts and opinions on what the best solution to this problem might be..

I need something that's fast, the fastest solution I can think of would be to

#1 Use an indexing search engine for the files, something like glimpse.

#2 Don't use temporary database tables.

Big problem combining the two searches in a fast way...

I've got lots of ideas -- I'm not going into them because I would love some new input.

Thanks!!!!

Hi, Not sure what type of "flat-file" are you talking about. Are they ASCII type file (ie HTML, plain text etc) ? There is an OpenSource search engines that you can use it supports number of RDBMs like PostGres and MySQL and has its own robot to "crawl" the site. The problem is that in order for the robot to index these files, they need to be referenced in the URL ie <a href=""> maybe you can use the robot other way I dunno. The site is:

http://mysearch.udm.net/

Thier site seems to be down at the moment (well for me anyway :))

Or you could try htdig

Hope this hopes

Everything else is working ok..

Looks like there is a bug in the mktime function for PHP 3.12.

Here is a routine that demonstrates the problem.

The routine prints out 3 dates per line.

Let FDM = First Day of Month

The routine prints out the dates corresponding to:

FDM - 2, FDM - 1, FDM

In the output below, you can see that the mktime function starts acting wonky around the end of march.

<? $year = "2000"; for ($i=1; $i <= 12; $i++) { $ts1 = mktime(0,0,0,$i,-1,$year); $ts2 = mktime(0,0,0,$i,0,$year); $ts3 = mktime(0,0,0,$i,1,$year); echo date("Y-m-d",$ts1); echo "  "; echo date("Y-m-d",$ts2); echo "  "; echo date("Y-m-d",$ts3); echo "<br>"; } ?>

I will submit this as a bug report if I don't hear any feedback telling me I missed something. The errata have a comment on this problem but doesn't look like it has been submitted as a bug report.

Regarding those messages that you were receiving:

I was receiving those messages too. It is due to the way that ezmlm, which runs the PHP mailing list, works.

<antelioyahoo.com> has obviously requested the mailing list archives for the PHP list, but has underestimated the size of them.

When the 3MB limit on his Yahoo! mail account was hit, the mail started bouncing.

As ezmlm has been only relaying your messages, the Yahoo! mail daemon thought the message was coming from you, which that particular message was originally.

The thing to do is wait until antelioyahoo has deleted enough messages out of their account that they will be able to receive messages before you start emailling them abuse.

If you want to know more, then just drop me a bell.

Other warning messages, unsolicited vacation auto-responses, etc, are due to ezmlm relaying your message on to thousands of subscribers to the PHP list. Some of those subscribers need to receive the boot IMHO until they stop their autoresponders or empty their accounts.

BTW, those naughty bounced messages don't pass through the php mailing list usually, so ezmlm will be unable to know it is happening.

Hi, How many connections can I have to Oracle. I assume that when using OCIPlogon if to users simlutaneously use a page, and there's no free connections in the pool, then a new one is allocated, am I right? Well, how many connections can we have before Oracle shits? I remember seeing this in the list, I just don't remember what it was.
