The answers to all of these, and much more, are at your fingertips in the
mailing list archives. We have, at length, covered these topics multiple
times, and people have posted a lot of high quality explainations and
arguments to address your questions.

http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/Web/1/0/

Some suggested search terms:
why php
advantages of php
php vs (asp, jsp, coldfusion, whatever. We've done it all)
file parsing

I'm not sure what you mean by 3.b, Web database integration. Could you
give an example of what exactly you're looking to accomplish? PHP's
database support is quite extensive, so I'm sure it's an easy one to
answer.

I still get the ld sig 11 errors! I did a memory test with memtest 2.x and
the memory was ok. I have tried the same instalation on a Compaq Proliant
3000R, RedHat 6.2 with the same result. I also tried on a dual procesor
machine with RH 6.1 and nothing. And on a 500Mhz PIII, 128MB, 9GB U-SCSI
RedHat 6.2 with the
same result. Please help...

I'm trying to compile php-3-0-16 with the following options
with-apxs, with-mysql, with-pgsql, with-sybase-ct, with-xml,
with-zlib,libtiff,ligbjpeg , -with-openssl. I tried with pdflib 3.0 but
PHP does not like it so i removed this last option.

The configure script goes well and most of the make also, but as soon as
the make calls the apxs script I get the message,
collect2: ld was terminated with signal 11

I had compiled apache previously so i would have a fresh apxs script.

So I decided on a static library. The php make went sith no problems but
in the apache amke I get the same error as soon as it tries to compile the
libphp.a file.

Apache-1.3.12 has the following options.
with-openssl, with-rsa, with-mm (memory manager 1.0.2) with-mod_ssl, and
of course with php.

It;s really frustrating.

I know there is a third option compiling as a cgi-bin, but not sure how to
do it. I can;t beleive nobody has had the same problems so it must be
something I;m doing wrong.

Does anyone have a similar build the can send me... Will this work?

Thank all for your help.

A function mysteriously stopped working for me this weekend.

I was calling a perl script using the exec() statement (have been
doing so happily for months).

Now, I'm not getting any results from it.. though the script has not
changed, and it still functions properly from the command line.

I checked the 'return code' and it is 127, which doesn't tell me
much. Does anyone know of a list on the net of what standard error
codes are?

We did recompile the machines kernel recently... would that have effected it?

I also tried the backtick operator... no difference.

If the error code 127 has any meaning... it may help shed some light
on the problem.

Thanks for any and all help.

Doh!!! I know why...it's because when you're accessing the phpinfo() page
it's because the browser currently doesn't have an HTTP_REFERER...so because
the field is blank PHP omits it.

If you really wish to test simply create another online page with a link
simply going to the phpinfo page...then go through the newly created
page....I'll bet you the HTTP_REFERER variable shows up then :)

Craig Vincent

You are the MAN! Though it would've been nice to SEE the blank variable, so I'd
know that it at least was LOOKING for it....

HTTP_REFERER is something that is set by the web server. PHP doesn't know
which variables any particular web server might set. So, a blank variable
list would be infinitely long.

Hi Leon and List!

First, use fopen and fgets to read data in from the url. Then use a regular expression to match the title tags.

Here is some quick and dirty untested code:

/* open a read only stream to a website */ $url_pointer = fopen ('http://www.somesite.com', 'r');

/* make sure that your are not at the end of the file */ while (! feof ($url_pointer)) { /* grab 1k from the url */ $temp_line .= fgets ($url_pointer, 1024);

/* if the line has a closing title tag in it then exit the loop use case insensitive matching (stristr) */ if (stristr ($temp_line, '<\title>' )) break; }

/* find the title tags in $temp_line and extract the content that is between them use case-insensitive matching (eregi_replace) */ $title = eregi_replace ( '.*<title>(.*)<\title>', '\\1', $temp_line);

The are many, many ways to solve this problem - this is just one of the quicker examples to code.

Good Luck!

Zak

attached mail follows:

Thank you! I used this one :

$fp = fopen("$url", "r");

for ($i = 0; !feof($fp); $i++) {

}

if ($build > ""): $build = eregi_replace("<TITLE>", "", $build); $build = eregi_replace("</TITLE>", "", $build); $build = trim($build); endif;

fclose($fp);

$title = $build;

>1. Most users IP addresses change when they log off the internet.

Heck, users can have multiple IPs on one page request! Take a look at what AOL does - I've seen multiple IPs, one per http GET connection, for one user because of their multiple cache strategy. Don't depend on an IP for anything other than identifying a particular connection for a particular request. Other than that, with dynamic proxies/caches/whathaveyous, all bets are off. Unique sessionids & time-out hashes are about as good as you can get with a stateless protocol.

Hi,

I am pretty new to PHP, but a friend suggested that it would be possible to do this via php.

I am running a IIS server on my home computer to display a series of pages. I have already configured the server to process PHP files correctly.

I want to have a button of some kind on a page that can be viewed by a client on the internet, that, when pushed, sends a message to a visual basic program running on the same computer as the server.

It strikes me that this should be reasonably easy to do, but I am unsure on even the basics. If you have any ideas, could you please let me know.

Many thanks,

Alexis.

paulopaulo.com.br 16-Apr-2000 11:04 It would be nice if we could have a mode to return the row as an object, just like mysql_fetch_object(), what do you think? It would be a lot easier to migrate from mysql to oracle.... :)

Do you think this would be possible to write? Is there a function out there that duplicates this behaviour at all (preferably returning the object with lower-case column names.

Im trying to convert my code from mySQL to Oracle with as little hassle as possible, but there are some things in there like mysql_fetch_object that arent converting easily.

Hello Everybody, This is my third try on this topic because of no response. Because of PHP's growth, I'm again appealing to the list for help, in case someone new knows the answer.

I have read all I can find on PHP and filePro's relationship, and I do have it working - sort of. According to the PHP manual and my PHP book "Core PHP Programming" I'm using every filePro function available, but it's still not doing what I'd like it to. Using the function to connect to a map file works, but I'm not sure how useful that is. I can see how many fields are in the map file and see what they contain, but that's pretty useless when it comes to looking at data. I would like to be able to see the data that is in the database, not the data that defines the database. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what the filePro functions are for?

Thanks, Dan

Hi Dan,

I do not use filePro or have access to it, but I will give it a shot! :)

I would guess that this code would dump the data out of the database:

$directory = 'directory_name';

// Connect to the database filepro ($directory) or die ("Sorry I could not connect to a filePro database in $directory");

// Find the number of columns & rows $fields = filepro_fieldcount(); $rows = filepro_rowcount();

print '<table>';

/* Loop through the rows in the database */ for ($current_row=1; $current_row < $rows; ++$current_row ) { print '<tr>'; /* Loop through the fields in the database */ for ($current_field=1; $current_field < $fields; ++$current_field ) { // Display a field $field = filepro_retrieve ($current_row, $current_field); print "<td>$field</td>"; } print '</tr>'; }

print '<table>';

Cross your fingers - and please let me know if this works!

Simply have two file inputs in your form:

When submited the php script will have the usual four variables for each file uploaded, eg:

$file1, $file1_name, $file1_type, $file1_size and $file2, $file2_name, $file2_type, $file2_size.

Hi,

I think that you do not understand very well how forms work. You should learn that before trying to program that in php3. In fact, php is NOT necessary if all that you want is to have a HTML FORM file that submits to a VB application.

In the URL I told you, there is an example that I will change a little bit:

Part of a HTML file (let's call it index.html):

This will pass the variable "name_prueba" in the URL to the VB executable. In the URL because I understand in Windows IIS you should do that via CGI (I am a Unix WebMaster). You should find out how you analyze the URL in the VB application.

I am not telling you that there are others ways to get to the goal.

Still in doubt?

Check out the regular expression functions. Also take a look at strcmp in the string functions.

Change %i to %d or %s. Also, the bareline "count($array);" is extraneous.

Hi Gunnar,

The PHP implementation of printf is different from the C implementation. While %i is a valid conversion specification in C, but in PHP it has no value.

Try using %d or %s instead.

Also, when you are having a problem with a function not behaving as you think it should, try to place the function in the simplest environment possible for testing.

With this previous problem, just doing a print count ($array) would have gotten you on the right track for debugging.

er... there are differences between PHP3 and PHP4, no? User-defined functions are often slower in PHP3. The advantage they have is in *coding*, not parsing. I havn't done the headwork on PHP4 yet, but in three.. oy. Part of the problem is that PHP users tend to think less lines of code is faster (not the case, the two are unrelated in issues of speed), and rather than making the fastest code, they tend to concentrate on making the _smallest_ code. This is assuming a bycycle is faster than a Concorde SST, because it's more compact. :-)

Say you have 30 user-built functions in *one* file, 200 lines of code. Depending on your code base/version, if those are called 10 times per page, you need to include that code for the parser (file call), and then as you go through the page, it substitutes out the function code.... plus you've added 20 useless functions of overhead for *every* parsed page. (Hence, the speed differences between 3 and 4, and the problem with using functions in 3. They *will* bog your execution down)

Lots and lots of overhead in that. If you can strip excess functions out, and speed is your goal, by all means, dump them over the side as fast as you can, and explicitly code using PHP's internal functions. Try two or three variants on your code, to see if, for example, you could get a faster result from a printf or an echo, a faster loop by only testing (if/case) under a smaller set of circumstances, and, if you can, avoid *ever* using requires or includes....

If that's still not fast enough, look into coding directly in C.

Now, of course, this all makes for faster execution, but your code can bloat like mad, or become almost unreadable. If the goal, however, is speed, that is a sacrifice you may *have* to make...

The author of "Real programmers don't use Pascal" once told me of a four line block of code that he worked on optimizing for three solid days. When he was done with it, it was 5 pages of code, and 4000% faster.... ugly as sin, but _fast_.

Well, this would be a PHP4 approach. Some of us are still using quite a bit of 3 (and still migrating from 2). :-) The rules changed a bit.

Hence, my emphasis in this thread between user generated functions, and PHP internal functions.... they are not the same, but user functions can (and do) suck up CPU and RAM when loading and parsing. Here, make a web page with 2Mb of unused functions in the page, and at the bottom: echo "Hello World";

Let me know if it's as fast as only one line, no excess function loading, echo "Hello World";

Right. Different tools for different jobs. If you need maximum execution speed, avoid PHP and use C. If you want rapid development and don't need blistering speed, PHP is great.

Well then, for starters, perhaps you have not noticed my point about speeds in PHP3 vs. PHP4, and that speed coding isn't a one-size-fits-all metality. :-)

No functions, PHP 4, Win2000, custom code: > Three runs: All report 36 seconds.

With functions, PHP 4, Win2000, custom code: > Three runs: All report 22 seconds.

My speeds on PHP3.0.14:

Well, for starters, your functions won't run in PHP3, as you stuck them at the end of the file (and your have to delcare them in the beginning). So, I moved them up, and got: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19 bytes) in /www/functiontest2.php3 on line 3

Well, gee. What's the speed of dark? So:

I ran a 1/10 of the iterations (Dual 500Mhz, 512Mb of RAM, live ldap/mail/web/db server averaging 300-500 active users) on the PHP3 code, 14/14/14 seconds, for PHP3.

To run the second test, I had to move your functions to the top, and got 10/10/10 for the tests. In this code block, with a tenth of the iterations, in PHP3, functions would be the way to go. With half the iterations, I had 53/18/25/28 seconds *with* functions, 25/23/19 seconds without. Why the funky numbers? The server was getting bogged, with 66MB of http processes alone.

> On Windows 2000, 192 (128+64)mb of ram with all other programs shutdown > for testing..... > What do you say now?

I'd say that in PHP, on a large code blocks with many iterations, and enough RAM to hold the entire code block, you have demonstrated a case where functions *are* faster. What is faster in one case is _still_ not the fastest in all cases. I can write hundreds of poorly coded functions that would run horribly slow, or fast non-user-function code, just as you could write clean functions that ran better than explicitly invoked code.

Here's an example of how functions are resource draining:

(code from "Core PHP programming"): <? $start = time(); for($index = 0; $index < 1000000; $index++) { $value += (cos(time()%360)); }

$finish = time(); print("Elapsed Time: " . ($finish - $start) . " seconds<BR>\n"); ?>

And this <? function calculate($period) { return(cos(time()%$period)); } $start = time(); for($index = 0; $index < 1000000; $index++) { $value += calculate(360); } $finish = time(); print("Elapsed Time: " . ($finish - $start) . " seconds<BR>\n"); ?>

Running without a function, I consistantly get %50-80 of the speed I get _with_ a function.... and thats 20%-100% faster by _not_ using functions.... So, now we know that functions are faster, and slower? How fast does the abpove function code run on your PHP4 box?

Slower in 3 than in 4. Always a bit slower, how much you care about the speed loss is up to you. 3 milliseconds is nothing, unless it happens 180 times per page.....in which case those 3 milliseconds are a nightmare.

Requires are _always_ read. Use includes if you're worried about RAM overhead, or stick the native code in there. Requires execute a little faster because they're always in the page, but it slows down the page when you have unused requires.

Yup. Optimize if it lags.

Try other code. Get a faster machine. Use a fast database engine. If you're using 3, upgrade to 4.

You have a slow OS, a slow web server, very little RAM.... check your scripts on a fast OS, fast web server, with PHP loaded as part of the server. It can make a world of difference.

> The Microsoft products are a resource > hogs. I do want to know my options when I go to implement this.

Apache. On *nix. Well, that's not your _only_ option, but it's certainly the most supported one, with the fastest speed options available, AFAIK. Anybody running PHP on a 32cpu box yet?

> Also, where can I find Database performance information for MYSQL vs MSSQL > Server (as unbias as possible).

Unbiased? Heh. Not gonna happen. But I'll try to provide as little bias as possible: MSSQL is a drain if your primary goal is fast, simple, lookups and inserts.

That's because, as a database, MSSQL is designed to do much, much, more than mySQL. If you don't _need_ those features, they're getting in the way. Of course, MSSQL also is limited to slower machines and OS's, so for maximum growth and speed, you might want to look into a more portable engine anyways. If, however, you are limited to slower Win32 equipment, you really should bench _your_ data, with _your_ code.

The problem with unbiased DB testing is that there are so many variables that objective results are near impossible to get, so you really have to test with *your* specific variables (fields, data types, lookup/insert routines, etc.)....

Here's a general bench suite, showing where mySQL is good: http://www.mySQL.com/benchmark.html

One way of reading benchmarks is to remind yourself that they are showcasing their best speeds, and hiding their worst. So as long as you only use the banchmarked features, your data will scream. ;-)

Of course, if you need MSSQL features that mySQL doesn't have, then you're out of luck, without doing something like: a) Using the fast DB for the site input/reporting b) Using the robust DB for analysis, complex structures.

There's no reason to only use one if your speeds and features require two, Heck, some of my websites are using mySQL, btree'd files, PostgreSQL, and LDAP data engines, all for *one* set of transactions....

SO use what you need, when you need it!

Since there is a variable number of fields I need to create the variables (i.e. $group1, $group2) but I cannot get PHP to reference a variable I build in the script like:

while($x < $num){ if($group$x == on){ print " This group is on.<BR>\n"; }else{ print "This group is off<BR>\n"; } $x++; }

I hope this makes sense to someone. In perl it is easy, you references the form array. Can I do this in PHP and if so how?

thanks, Russ

You are on the right track. Look up variable variables in the dox. But to give you an idea, what you would need to do is modify the above IF statement as such:

if( ${$group$x} == "on" ) { I do this same thing semi-regularly and what I do is:

$fieldName = $group$x; if( ${$fieldName} == "on" ) {

that way I can reference $fieldName elsewhere in my code w/o having to stick all the variable parts of the name together each time. HTH

Hi! Is there somewhere in the wild wild web a script for a mail archiv based on php3 and mysql there is a mail-account called archiv... which gets all the mails now I would need a routine (in perl or php3) who puts the mails into the mysql dbase and an php3 interface to search through the mails ...

I have a function that does the following :

Function oci( $conn, $str ) { $stmt = OCIParse($conn, "$str"); OCIExecute($stmt); return $stmt; }

What its doing is basically combining the OCIParse and OCIExecute commands in one function. I dont know THAT much about how the OCI works, but this seems to do the job. Can anybody think of any reason why this could be a bad idea?

Sorry, I'm still confused.. I don't understand how I can use this to link into a visual basic application. All I want to do is to have a form on a page that, when the user clicks the submit button, runs the application on the server and passes the form variables to it.

Hi all, is there a function that automatically cleans a mysql string? I have to insert into a table a user input, and it's filled with " and ' Beside, i would like to avoid the: happynewyear";drop abcd;

input. Is there something to clean a string of characters? I know it should be easy to do it with regex, but i think something already done is a) faster b) better constructed. Any idea?

Thank you, Duccio.

Use the addslashes() and stripslashes() function, i.e.

$string = addslashes($string); [Now do your imsert and these characters should have all been escaped.

"COM/DCOM support PHP 4.0 provides COM/DCOM support (on Windows only) for seamlessly accessing COM objects and instantiating them."

2 questions:

* Does "(on Windows only)" mean that it will only work on web servers that are running on a windows based OS? Or that it will only work for end users browsing your site on a windows based OS?

* Where can I find more information on the above? I've scoured the Zend website and the most I've been able to really find on it is some sample code. Where can I find some really meaty info on this functionality?

Considering that everything else in PHP is server-side, I would guess that you would need to be serving from a Win32 platform ; )

I don't want to get too offtrack of the other part of my question, but I just want to comment that I think that it could go either way (w/o looking at the hard dox which is the other part of my ?) because the apps (Excel, Word, Etc.) are going to be residing on the client's PC.

Wrong. COM objects are strictly server-side. They manipulate applications on the server not applications on the client.

Hmmm... (grinding gears, smoke pouring out of ears..) errr... isn't automation for apps handled by ActiveX - has MS gone and renamed OLE again while I wasn't looking?

It means that the COMs will need to be on the server. Remember php is a "preparser" which implies "before it reaches the client".

I think com objects are a great way to extend php's capabilities, not to mention interface with MTS.

unfortunatly, there isin't a manual entry for it. Of course, theres not a whole lot to say either. Every com is differen and has its own set of properties or procedures.

A good place to start is at www.microsoft.com/com Or visit MSDN for 'nitty-gritty' details.

ActiveX and OLE are subsets of the Component Object Model (COM). DCOM is Distributed COM and dictates how different COM objects are instantiated and utilized between modules (on the same machine or distributed on a network).

I have discovered the problem is with how PHP includes files for support of various databases. This example, includes the informix files, which define things like SQLDATE and such. DB2 also defines these things in it's include files, and it gets included further down in the file that failed. If I remove the Informix support, it will compile fine.

How do I get both Informix and DB2 support in the same binary? Or can I compile the informix or DB2 parts as "extensions" or "modules" somehow?

Please help,

Thanks,

PHP function calls have overhead similar to the way C does. The parameters are passed etc. etc..

Greetings,

I'm getting closer to making sybase 11.0.3.3 and php-3.0.16 communicate. apache-1.3.12 is compiled with DSO and php was config'd --with-sybase-ct=/path and --with-apxs=/path.

When trying to start apache I get the following message...

# apachectl start Syntax error on line 215 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp3.so into server: /usr/lib/libcs.so: Undefined symbol "intl_cstrbuild" /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

It looks like the php lib and libcs.so --> /opt/sybase/lib/libcs.so cannot communicate. Does anyone know what I'm missing?

Many TIA!

In addition to the existing ODBC functions, PHP also has native MS SQL Server support. Are these functions utilizing OLE DB? ODBC? or something else?

The reason I'm asking is because if PHP uses a native connectivity approach, that's awesome! ASP utilized ODBC connections for almost everything - even there MS SQL Server...

I have PHP 4RC1 (as an Apache module) on a Yellow Dog Linux (G4 Mac) with Apache 1.3.12. I have the GD lib installed and the image library stuff is working quite nicely. What I don't quite understand (after many hours of research and trial and error) is how to get true type fonts to work with the image library. I've got Freetype installed on the box (from an RPM) but I couldn't locate where/how PHP (utilizing Freetype) locates fonts and is able to use them as part of the image library. Is there a way you have to install fonts using PHP and Freetype? Is there a way to tell if Freetype support is loaded or being utilized by PHP? Do you have to tell PHP where the font is when you make a call to a TTF function?

All and any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm no programmer, and relatively new to PHP in general. I've been using it for small things here and there, as I find it pretty resourceful. I've been trying to create a small decimal to binary function, but have run into a serious stump. I can't seem to get the output that I want. The conversion is working, but adds a ton of extra information I really don't need to know. If someone could take a look at this function, and point out what I'm doing wrong, or what I could be doing better/differently I would appreciate it. Thanks.

function DecToBin($decimal) {

$binary = "";

while ($decimal != "0") { $bit = $decimal % "2";

if ($bit == "0") { $binary == 0 + $binary; } else { $binary == 1 + $binary; } $decimal = $decimal/2; echo $bit; } }

Before anyone mentions it, yes, I'm aware of decbin(), which is not exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. The problem itself is more about the way I'm doing things, more than the actualy conversion itself. That make sense? :)

Hi Robert and List,

Your code looks very close - there a just a few little points that you need to clear up.

You don't need to put numbers inside of quotes. It doesn't actually hurt anything in this case ( or in most cases for that matter - PHP is quite forgiving )

> if ($bit == "0")

Again, drop the quotes.

> { > $binary == 0 + $binary;

== is a test for equality between the left and right sides of the equation. You want to use a single equals sign instead.

You will also want to use the string concatenation (.) operator instead of the addition (+) operator. The reason for this is that you will end up with a decimal number that is the sum of all of the bits in the number, instead of a sequential listing of all the bits.

Thats about it. :)

Here is a some modified code that includes the changes.

function DecToBin($decimal) { while ($decimal != "0") { $bit = $decimal % 2;

if ($bit == "0") $binary = 0 . $binary; else $binary = 1 . $binary;

$decimal = $decimal/2; }

return $binary; }

print DecToBin(21);

Ok...that one got away from me when I did a typo...here's the original message I was trying to type:

function DecToBin($decimal) { $binary = ""; while ((int) $decimal > 0) { $bit = $decimal % 2; $binary .= $bit; $decimal /= 2; } echo strrev($binary); }

or, if I'm feeling mighty desparate:

printf ("%b", $decimal);

Hey all, I've been messin with this off and on for almost a week now with no luck. Has anyone had any luck with an Authorization script through Apache on Win32? The scriptlet I have is as follows:

<? if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) { header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Private Stuff"'); echo 'Authorization Required.'; exit; } else { print" Authentication Successfull!"; } ?>

I've read on PHP.net about swapping the headers for WWW-Authenticate and HTTP/1.0 401 if you're wondering why they seem backward...to no avail. All I get in my browser is a 500 error, and my error log shows this:

[Mon Apr 24 19:01:21 2000] [error] [client 142.177.195.125] malformed header from script. Bad header=HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized: c:/usr/bin/php3/php.exe

I've tried using HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 but neither work. I do know this works on *nix servers, so could it be yet another of the PHP as CGI Win32 woes? Any help would be appreciated.

For those interested: Apache is 1.3.12 Win32 and PHP is 3.0.16. If I get this to work, it will authenticate users not from a .htpasswd file, but from a MySQL database. I think I covered all the bases, thanks again.

I have a background in ASP, but, I am new to PHP. I have seen from reading through this mailing list that sessions can be managed through the use of text files or temporary storage in a database.

I would like to know if anyone has come up with a way to assign a session variable to memory, and find the memory address from another script. I know there used to be a process similar to this when running a C program on (at least some flavors of) Unix. You would basically reserve a chunk of memory, and add a keyword to it. Then calling this key word from another procedure would allow you access to the same variables. Is there anything like this in PHP? I want to know for two reasons:

1)reading/writing to a text file or database is slow. 2)you cannot store arrays or (ASP word) Dictionary objects in a text file very easily.

Thanks for your help. Adam Erickson Software Engineer Class.com

Use the 'mm' session module to store your sessions in shared memory:

session_module_name("mm");

This is unfortunately not very well documented yet.

It's called shared memory. See http://www.php.net/manual/ref.sem.php

> > 1)reading/writing to a text file or database is slow.

Not necessarily that slow. Reading and writing to a database is often faster than reading and writing to disk (but obviosly not as fast as writing to memory). Also, some operating systems have support for a memory based disk (or something pretty close). For example, /tmp in Solaris is actually allocated in memory/swap and accessing files stored there is VERY fast. That's what we do, store session info in /tmp on Solaris.

Actaully, this is relatively easy with the serialize function.

Hello,

I am about to start writing a new project in PHP, and before I begin reinventing the wheel (or, rather, the multiple wheels, bells and whistles which this project requires), I wanted to find out if there is an existing project similar to this which I can use for inspiration/borrowing code. I've looked on www.php.net/projects.php3, and some of them are similar, but need multiple adjustments, and I don't feel like gunzip-ing and looking through every one of them. Anyway, here's what the project is supposed to do, briefly:

1. Admin:Manage group/user time allocations on a large computing network. An administrator should be able to add/delete CPU time allocated to every group, copy "left-over" time from previous sessions, change passwords, add users etc.

2. Group manager should be able to view how much time his group has, add/update/delete users "attached" to his group (mostly address information), *maybe* change user's passwords.

3. Support interface: should something go wrong, telephone support people should be able to log in and change a particular user's info/password.

Obviously, this would require an authentication mechanism which would identify a user as belogning to one of the three categories and give him the appropriate privileges. The database is Oracle 8. I've got PHP 3.0.11 and PHPLIB installed on my Solaris box with Apache as Web server.

Thanks for you suggestions !

Folks,

Having read Rasmus' piece on PHP Builder <http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/rasmus19990407.php3> regarding the ForceType directive in Apache, I need a little help with something. This is more of an Apache question than a PHP question, but I'm not on the Apache mailing list... :)

I want an entire domain to be affected by ForceType, which is cool if I wrap it in Location tags. But then other files (ie, images) are treated as PHP. What I really want is to be able to 'invent' directories off of the root, and have those handled by PHP. But real ones should be left alone.

So /images/ and /about/ need to just be cool and be fed out normally. But if I enter http://web.domain.tld/look/at/all/of/my/directories, I want the server to create that.

I see 3 options:

1. Make a 404 page that takes care of 'creating' the dynamic directory structure. 2. Put the dynamic directories under a master directory (aside from /), such as /dynamic/. 3. Keep all images and other pages under subdomains. Instead of web.domain.tld/images, use images.domain.tld.

What do y'all think? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Best, Waldo

Hello,

I need to execute scripts contained in several different files, and need to pass arguments to each of these scripts.

Say I have a script called something.php3, as it is displayed on a browser, it should call 5 other scripts sending each one parameters, but I don't want anything to be displayed about the execution of these scripts...how can I do this ?

I looked up exec(), system(), etc. on php.net but couldn't find how...

Hi. Does anyone know where I can download the PHPMySQL package? It's a set of web pages that allows you to manage a MySQL database through a web interface. From what I understand, it's all done in PHP. I've searched the MySQL site, the PHP site, and the list archives. I found something that looked similar by a guy named Klaus, but I don't really think that's it because it mentioned Perl Scripts and I'm pretty sure this is just a bunch of HTML Text documents with PHP script in them to manipulate the database.

Anybody know where I can download that?

Hi,

I am trying to build a shopping cart that is able to add and remove multiple products before checking out and send an E-mail to the seller.

Problems : 1. How do I add rows into a table depending on the number of items placed into the cart? Lets say 3 items placed into cart will create 3 rows, and 9 items placed into cart will create 9 rows automatically?

2. Is there a function to remove only a particular variable and replace with another value? Say item[1], item[2], item[3]... I want to remove item[2]. After clicking remove, item[2] will be removed and item[3] will become item[2].

Please advice thanks.

How do you include a file from another domain? I want to put my db connection info in an include file and place it on a secure server which has a different domain name so know one can access the logon info. I want to keep some credit card info in a table. Is this how you secure your db info from people logging onto the server thru FTP, or is there a better way.

I would appreciate any help and thank you in advance. Clint

attached mail follows:

I think you want to look at http://www.php.net/manual/features.remote-files.php and http://www.php.net/manual/function.include.php for info on how you want to protect your include files.

But no, that's not how it is usually done. Usually, one would configure the web server to not show files that end in .inc (or whatever you want your include files to end with). I know that with Apache, you would just put something like this in httpd.conf (for server-wide configuration) or .htaccess (for directory-by-directory configuration):

<FILES ~ "\.inc$"> Order allow,deny Allow from 127.0.0.1 Deny from all </FILES> <FILES ~ "\~$"> Order allow,deny Allow from 127.0.0.1 Deny from all </FILES>

The first directive disallows any files to be shown by Apache that end in .inc. The second disallows any files to be shown by Apache that end with a tilde (squiggle), as some editors make backup copies of files that end with a tilde when you edit them.
