I need some volunteers to test our WAP/WML portal at
http://mopilot.com/portal/main.php3 You will need a
WAP/WML Browser or a WAP-compatible mobile-phone
in order to access the pages.
In particular, we need to evaluate the proper function if the
cache-headers, forms, etc - just all dynamic information that is
passed from and to the client when using a WAP-browser or
WAP-gateway.
This also includes the implemented session-management. We
noticed some problems with transparent proxys and headers!
[can someone tell me what the 'Age:' header is about????]
Upon your first visit, an email with your password is generated
and sent to you.
Also, if you have a mobile phone or some uncommon device, please
go to http://mopilot.com/ and give us feedback by using our form,
found at the option 'having problems'; This gives us also information
about your user-agent and the used wap-gateway
Your advice and tips are higly appreciated!
Thanks,

PS: If you have own WAP/WML pages, feel free to add them to our
search engine at http://mopilot.com ( using a normal html-browser )

Anyhting can be dropped into Source Safe. You may have to do it manually but
it is easy. Personally, I use VSS to back up my mechanical design files
(ACAD 14) as well as circuit board layouts (ProCAD).
Because PHP is text based (like all source code) you will still be able to
do a DIFF and History easily.

Wow,
Nobody even mentioned some of the Linux editors.....
I use a bunch of them depending on what I'm doing. Most of the Linux ones are
somewhat early in development, but at the some time a small number are in rapid
change and very good. Here's a list of what I use:
* Bluefish
Has drop-down list that inserts ANY PHP function (shows prototype as well)
* Quanta
*Webmaker
*Webdesigner
*JCC
I particularly use Bluefish for the PHP drop-down function prototype
list/function inserter...and custom syntax highlighting. To get the highlighter
to work well from stock mode make sure you use <SCRIPT LANGUAGE ="PHP">
</SCRIPT> instead of <? ?> or your script will be highlighted in all red.
I'm not sure of the URLs of these at the moment...I'm in a bit of a
hurry.....but you can find them at http://linux.davecentral.com or
http://www.linuxberg.com

right, I forgot to mention that. This is the main feature that editplus has that homesite doesn't, being able to run a free compiler like javac or borlands c++ tools and seeing the output nicely in an output window makes it compete very well with expensive IDE's like devstudio. On the other hand homesite has the layout mode which is nice for web designers (i guess, I never used it). So if you're mainly a web designer you might like homesite better, but a programmer will probably like editplus better.
>another feature of edit plus that i love is block indenting ie select >a bunch of code and press and tab and it all indents, press shift-tab >and it reverse indents.
that's nice but I think any good editor also has this. I know emacs and homesite will do this too.

:)
Ok, when you're on last_name.php and don't enter anything in then you go to father_name, father name will redirect you to last_name which notices that now first_name is unset and then redirects you yet again to first_name.php.
You need this in father_name:
header("Location:http://www.startboxes.com/test/validation/last_name.php3?first_name=$first_name");
You also need this in the form on the last_name page:
<input type=hidden value="<?=$first_name?>">
so you can pass first_name off to fathers_name.php
best of luck,

i just recently upgraded php to 3.0.16 and htdig to 3.1.5 and now notice a problem. htdig 3.1.5 uses semicolons [;] as separators for CGI variables, and php doesn't recognize semicolons as parameter separators.
as an example, a search that would have been called as
http://search.cheek.com/results.php?words=scsi&config=linuxkb-scsi&method=and&format=long
is now being called as
http://search.cheek.com/results.php?words=scsi;config=linuxkb-scsi;method=and;format=long
my results.php wrapper [around htsearch] expects $words, $config, $method, and $format to be set when entering the page, but instead of
$words == "scsi" $config == "linuxkb-scsi" $method == "and", and $format == "long"
i now get
$words == "scsi;config=linuxkb-scsi;method=and;format=long" $config == "" $method == "", and $format == ""
is there any way to force php3 to recognize the semicolon as a parameter separator? or will i have to parse these by hand?
thanks!

AFAIK, you don't have to pass arguments to htsearch separated by semi-colons. You may want to look in this PHP Class that is used to simplify the configuration, indexing and searching of pages using htdig.

So, if they're text records <1024 chars, it's a *really* tiny db right now.

Exactly. Moore's law pretty much means that platform investments are only good for 18 months at most. Add in the fact that your first system will be wrong (Brooke's Law), and you don't really _want_ to throw the entire ball of wax into one investment, one company, until you know exactly what you need, and how you need to do it.

When the task is simple, yes. MySQL excels at smallish, flattish, high speed transactions. You cannot have the same kind of design as you would be able to have with Oracle. You will, however, have faster, tighter, design....
> When a DB like this does get massive hits, will PHP4 + MySQL > scale well when a more powerful box is used?
Up to parallel, yes. Then you want to have a two tier (PHP box, MySQL box) system. Assuming you're using cheapie boxes, (as compared to Oracle on Sun), you can do thousands of hits a second on off the shelf dual X86 CPU's, with 512 Mb of RAM, on *nix. As long as you have really tiny transactions, in the right table design, almost any db app can be designed to handle that transaction level.
On NT, well, you've got a bit more overhead there, but even a 600Mhz machine running IIS can take thousands of hits a second.... the usual bottleneck is _not_ the CPU, it'a the bandwidth of the site, the actual internet connection. Here, I'll put it this way: If you have a tiny webpage, say, ten 12KByte graphics, another 4 KByte of text, you have a 124KB site. To send that over the net a thousand times in one second, you need a Gigabit LAN connection. That's 1,024,000 KB per second from two NICs, or a 1 GB internet link. Or, put another way, since a T-1 will drive 1.544 Megabits, or .193 MegaBytes per second, you'll need, oh, 5305 T-1's.
Er.. I doubted my math, so crunch it yourself. See how much of your problem needs to be fixed by _redundant_, _mirroring_ db's and servers, vs a "big box" somewhere. This is why there are db's with powerful replication, so there can be a server hanging off of each major backbone. This is where the high cost db's count in web serving, in *replication* to reduce overall site costs. Try calling your ISP and asking for 5305 T-1's. :-) That's what you need to send out that much per second in web pages, after your transactions. ...
So, here's another way to ask the question: How much of the db cost is for redundancy and replication features? And how long do you think it'll be before your site has 327,200 page views, every day? That's how many site visits it takes to hit 1000 per second to the above pages.

Arthur,
We are using PHP3 with large web applications, but on Intranets not 1000000 hits per second web sites ;) But we plan on migrating to PHP4 once we've undergone full testing, but prelim testing shows huge performance gains of up to 80% on the PHP processing (doesnt improve the DB response of course). That is PHP3 as an Apache Module compared to an unoptimised PHP4 CGI.

AS ALWAYS, It's not what you do but how you do it.
There are very few technologies that cannot perform properly if they're used "properly".
If you have a large scale problem then your application architecture will be most likely to blame for everything that's not fast enough.
For example, you can cache database results, and you can cache page generation results.
This offloads tremendous amount of relational database work, and in the case of scripts or code, far less code has to run to go get a page that has been generated already.
THAT BEING SAID...
Where I'm at now we SOMETIMES let oracle generate the HTML and return that.
This is due to the fact that SSJS sucks, IS SLOW REGARDLESS, and has too many problems to enumerate. ( Yeah, we have SSJS apps, not my fault ! )
PHP blows SSJS out of the water even when running as CGI instead of as the even more cool mod_php.
Additionally, pay CLOSE attention to this little tidbit.
THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONCEPT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA WHEREHOUSING AND DATA MARTS.
In one case, the idea of NORMALIZED data is cool, like for maintenance of the data itself.
In another case, like for serving data to an application the SCHEMA can require numerous wierness, like joins and subselects, and your performance can die because the SCHEMA wasn't written to the application's requirements, but rather to a DBA's idea of what a database should be.
DENORMALIZATION is OFTEN a good thing for web applications. - that is, make a schema that suits your performance purpose, even if people in a university "would laugh at it".
$0.02
I can't imagine where PHP itself would be a bottleneck unless you don't know how to code. Honest.
...Or C, or Perl, or anything for that matter.
And as I've mentioned there's even ways to make SSJS work...
So the moral of the story is LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE and you will be safe... er.

Seriously though pgAdmin is a port from phpMyAdmin for mySQL and is far from finished, I don't think it's their setup thats broken. They have a cvs server up if you'd like to help them out though :)

Hello, Recently I had posted an article about phpstocks.. a program that fetches stock quotes from yahoo.. I had made the source and everything available online, and a few of you had responded with comments/suggestions/questions...anyway.. to make a long story short..
my computer/server crashed.. it was a very ugly crash.. I lost
everything.. including the 60+ hours of work I had put into phpstocks.. if
anyone had downloaded the source to this program.. any version of
it.. could you please email me the tar.gz file .. I will be eternally
greatful to you.. for best results/safety.. if you can email it to me here
and cc it to vlutherlinux.com and vlutherlinuxpowered.com I would really
appreciate it.
PS: Note to Yahav: As you can tell.. I've been side tracked with this fiasco now.. hopefully we can work something out once I get everything back online on my end. :)

Looking to design a site simular to http://profiles.yahoo.com where users can create/login to an account and put in specific information and have a page be dynamically created. Very useful for clubs/IRC/friends/family.
I was wondering if there is any prewritten PHP code for this sort of project. I lack PHP experience to do it on my own, but it is not a priority in my book enough to warrant hiring someone to code it.

Note that allowing ssh root logins from any host with no password will make your system very insecure. This does in no way imply that SSH is not secure, just that you do not know what you are doing if you choose to configure it this way :-)
The point is, MySQL installation can only be as secure as the sysadmin/dba running the system will configure it.

Hi,
I would like to know which virus detector would work with during file uploading for php??
Thank You

I am required to PARSE uploaded HTML FORMS.
I need to EXTRACT <FORM <INPUT etc., relating to forms.
I've just tried using the XML parser, and OF COURSE, it complains about "well-formedness" of things like '<br>' having no </br>.
Since the parser appears to be completing the task I need it for, is it possible to DISABLE the ERROR(s) that the XML parser throws so that I can easily get all the form elements using it ?
It is so close to being useful that I thought I should ask for some guru advice before resulting to alternative means to my ends...
If this is unclear:
I want to upload a form, Content-Type: text/html to my web server.
I want to PARSE IT.
I want output that looks like:
FOUND: <FORM METHOD="POST"
FOUND: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="USERNAME" VALUE="HMN..."
I currently get this output ;)
But I am getting "XML error: mismatched tag at line 11"
I KNOW WHY, but I don't care. I want the error to be ignored.

> Hey,
I have a question that I am hoping will really get to the bread and butter. <statement> I bought the perl dbi book today.. guy at the cash register says "Hey, I heard Perl is dying".-->I was just working with it today!..now, at my work, they praise java blah blah blah....besides the biasedness...whats really going on?? </statement> ANYWAYS,,, IS PERL HEADING FOR A DOWNFALL, OR WILL IT RISE TO THE OCCASION/KEEP PROGRESSING (in this instance, I am thinking more of a web solution etc...)????
So, besides the usual,,,"yeah, its worth it to learn as much as possible" etc.."do what you want" etc....
Is Perl gonna be a program language of the future (and past), or is its days numbered??
Apply off list if you want.

Hi all,
I'm using PHP (3.0.12) and MySQL (3.22.30) to build a db for my books. The search statement isn't working as intended. What I'm after is to be able to enter one or more criteria into the form and have any data in other columns be ignored. It will now return the correct row only if I include the info from ALL columns having data. As I lifted--sorry, adapted--this from the Professional PHP Programming (from the address book example) and theirs works, I must be missing something here. Add/modify/delete all work OK. I get no error messages; the row just isn't returned (I have only a few sample entries, so I know what should be returned. In the interest of brevity I've given only the table layout and the search statement. Some direction, anyone?
TIA,
curt
The table:
mysql> CREATE TABLE books( bookid SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, title CHAR(30), publisher CHAR(30), category ENUM(' ', 'literature', 'history', 'hist_fiction','science', 'humor', 'fiction', 'nonfiction', 'reference'), isbn INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, yearpub YEAR, binding ENUM(' ', 'paperback', 'tradepaper', 'hardcover'), yearpurch YEAR, pricepaid SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, first_ed ENUM(' ', 'y', 'n', 'p'), signed ENUM(' ', 'n', 'y'), bookcondition ENUM(' ', 'near_fine', 'fine', 'as_new', 'very_good', 'good', 'fair'), dj_condition ENUM(' ','near_fine', 'fine', 'as_new', 'very_good', 'good', 'fair', 'none'), comments CHAR(30));
The search statement:
$searchstmt = "SELECT * FROM $tablename WHERE " ;
if ($bookid) $searchstmt .= "bookid like '%$bookid%' and " ; if ($title) $searchstmt .= "title like '%$title%' and " ; if ($publisher) $searchstmt .= "publisher like '%$publisher%' and " ; if ($yearpub) $searchstmt .= "yearpub like '%$yearpub%' and " ; if ($isbn) $searchstmt .= "isbn like '%$isbn%' and " ; if ($yearpurch) $searchstmt .= "yearpurch like '%$yearpurch%' and " ; if ($pricepaid) $searchstmt .= "pricepaid like '%$pricepaid%' and " ; if ($comments) $searchstmt .= "comments like '%$comments%' and " ; if ($category) $searchstmt .= "category like '%$category%' and " ; if ($binding) $searchstmt .= "binding like '%$binding%' and " ; if (first_ed) $searchstmt .= "first_ed like '%$first_ed%' and " ; if ($signed) $searchstmt .= "signed like '%$signed%' and " ; if ($bookcondition) $searchstmt .= "bookcondition like '%$bookcondition%' and " ; if ($dj_condition) $searchstmt .= "dj_condition like '%$dj_condition%' and " ;
$stmt= substr($searchstmt, 0, strlen($searchstmt)-4) ;

Dude,
This looks like an easy one.
The trailing "and" statements appear to be your problem.
This is shoddy code for generic puposes.
Your select statement should be something like this when all is said and done:
select * from sometable where customerid like 'something'
The problem appears to be that the code you showed will ALWAYS result in something that is INVALID SQL like this:
select * from sometable where customerid like 'something' and
And what ?
Loose the and.
If you want all these neato possibilities to work you'll have to write something a little more elaborate.
TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS INSTEAD, - this isn't the greatest logic but it gets the point accross...
$searchstmt = "SELECT * FROM $tablename WHERE " ; $gotone = 0;
if ($bookid) { $searchstmt .= "bookid like '%$bookid%' " ; $gotone = 1; } if ($title) { if ($gotone == 1) { $searchstmt .= " and "; } $searchstmt .= "title like '%$title%' and " ; $gotone = 1; }
if ($publisher) { if ($gotone == 1) { $searchstmt .= " and "; } $searchstmt .= "publisher like '%$publisher%'" ; $gotone = 1; }
Get it ? No TRAILING AND this way...
Hope this is actually your problem, if not it soon will be ;)
