Hi,

I have managed (with some struggle) to compile an extension for PHP.

I tried to open a test page, loading the extension wit the dl command,

or simpler yet, REMOVE WINDOWS SCRIPTING HOST!

It does nothing useful (or at least the few useful things it does are things
we can easily live without).

All it does is open every possible door on a windows box to viruses and
hackers.

Without the WSH, none of these worms will work.

Hi all, need some help about socket functions.

I try tu use socket function. This is my script:

if (($sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) { echo "socket() a echoué - raison : " . strerror($sock) . "\n"; }

And this is the error I always get : Fatal error: Call to undefined function: socket() in d:\myscript.php on line 175

I'm using PHP with WIN NT. The error is the same with PHP Version 4.0.5-dev , or PHP Version 4.0.4. I've installed PHP from binary code, not with re-compiling source.

First question : is socket function installed on php version for windows ? Second : if yes, where is the problem.....

Thank you for your help,

François Tissandié.

in php you need to use the function fsockopen() instead of the socket()

check up the php manual for the scoket cunctions at

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php

you can also download a good example of a class that uses the socket functions to send and recieve email from http://myprojects.cjb.net/

Download the Kazzam Intranet Email System code from here which has the class and the example of how to use it for sending and recieving email

is there limitations on file upload.. such as file size when using <input type=file>???

thanks

attached mail follows:

The maximum filesize for file uploads is either set in the php.ini file using the setting

upload_max_filesize = 2M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files

or you can also specify the maximum file upload size at runt time as follows <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="_URL_" METHOD=POST> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000"> Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File"> </FORM>

attached mail follows:

well!

Nice question. I haven't gone beyond 2.5 MB on any occassion.

but I guess theoretically this should be possible by setting the maximum upload file size setting using the methods already discusssed. Another thing that you might want to look out for in this case would be the maximum execution time of the script

take a look at the max_execution_time setting in php.ini and the set_time_limit() function in the php manual.

don't forget to tell me the results of this experiment of yours. :) :)

Shouldn't matter as the file is uploaded *before* the script is invoked.

Hi; I'm getting this error: >>> Unsatisfied dependencies for mod-php3-mysql-3.0.8-2: mod-php3 >= 3.0.8 <<< What does it mean and what should I do about it (if anything)? TIA, BenO

attached mail follows:

I am not very sure of what exactly does this this mean but I guess that the particular module that you are installing requires a cversion of PHP that has to be greater than 3.0.8.

This is just a guess. I aplogize if it's wrong.

Hello all.

I'm running PHP4 as Apache module under Linux. I would like to know good script coding style.

I should not write long comments in code or not? With Zend Cache, comments should not matter. How about w/o Zend Cache? If I want to write long comments, should I get Zend Cache? Or can I ignore the overheads? For example, 50KB of comments for 25KB code - total 75KB script size. (Not considering disk access/load overhead. I would like to know PHP4's overheads)

Whether I should split source code so that PHP4 can parse/compile as little code as possible or not. What is the best coding style you suggest? For example, 200KB script containing all code vs. split into several source files and load 100KB on average when it executed.

What is your opinion?

Thanks in advance.

O.K. I still got the problems. I`ll paste everything needed here and please, if anyone knows how to make it work, let me know.

*First, the part of the form is the following:

the enctype in my form tag is ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" and METHOD = POST

*The code that actually *should* take care of the upload process to mysql, is the following:

if (isset($file) AND $file != "none" AND strlen($file)>2){ $file_data = fread( fopen($file, 'r'), filesize($file) ); $theq = "INSERT INTO pildid (file_name,file_type,file_data,tyyp,subid,picnr) VALUES ('$file', '$file_type', '".addslashes($file_data)."','travels','$it','0')"; $result = mysql_query($theq); }

And the errors I get, are':

Warning: fopen("C:\\ajutine\\Kevad.jpg","r") - No such file or directory in /home/einfeldt/public_html/bt2/reis.php3 on line 62

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/einfeldt/public_html/bt2/reis.php3 on line 62 INSERT INTO pildid (file_name,file_type,file_data,tyyp,subid,picnr) VALUES ('C:\\ajutine\\Kevad.jpg', '', '','travels','9','0')

I am not sure on how to help you with this out, this is because I've never done so before. Why would you put files inside a database. Just copy them in some folder and name within a logic, inserting only a small string in your DB or even without it. Then call the graphic.

This is easier, faster, reliable, extendable.

All these different databases support files to simply not to lose the war with their competitors. Not much programmers use it.

If your error reporting level is set high enough, php will complain about $foo[bar] unless you have defined bar as a constant elsewhere.

Unless the array key (or any other kind of key, like these in functions or in SQL statements) is an integer you should insert it between quotes.

Let's say that stings should be treated as 'strings' and integers can be treated as integers.

I had heard someone on the list say that it's always best to use quotes, for the same reason as XHTML, where every value MUST have quotes.

But honestly I've been using only NO-quotes all year and find it much easier to read. And NEVER any problem!

Also makes it easier when you need to use an array variable inside a quoted string:

print "Hello there $client[name]";

Bad practice alert!!!

If your php error reporting level is set to show warnings (which it should be on your development machines) then referring to $foo[bar] will give Warning: Use of undefined constant bar - assumed 'bar' in whatever/yourscript.php on line n

So php only works in this case because it couldn't find bar in it's list of constants, and guessed at the mistake you made. This just slows things down.

I can't see any advantage at all to missing the quotes out.

Your example could be written

print "Hello there {$client['name']}";

Sorry to sound stroppy :)

Several people have mentioned that this is a bad practice, but no one has mentioned why...

There are two gotchas you have to look out for, that quotes will prevent. First, if you are using some_word as an array index and someone decides that it would be a good name for a built in function, constant, or statement all of a sudden all of your programs will break.

Second, take one of your programs that uses some_word all over it, and add:

define( 'some_word', 'something_else' );

into one of your include files, now life gets very interesting:

$X[ 'some_word' ] = 'foo'; $X[ 'something_else' ] = 'bar';

echo $X[ some_word ]; // prints bar

echo $X[ 'some_word' ]; // always works as expected.

attached mail follows:

$foo[bar] only works for backwards compatibility. In fact writing bar without '' means that it's a constant and if that constant value is defined it will be substituted instead of the bar. If it's not defined it defaults to the string 'bar'. So if you want to do it right (and faster) do $foo['bar']

yeah... that can work, I think it's a little less messy than what I've done... I did it like this:

for each checkbox I did echo "<input type=checkbox name=checklist[] value=$id> Cb1 <input type=text name=asset_$id>";

then I check if isset(${"asset_".$id}) in my code... it's working fine... but it's kinda 'dirty'... I'll try yours... thanks! :) ____________________________ . Christian Dechery (lemming) . http://www.tanamesa.com.br . Gaita-L Owner / Web Developer

I've noticed a problem with the config.m4 in the ext/java directory.

Basic issue I'm running redhat 7.0 with the sun jdk installed in /usr/java/jdk1.3

I type in really simple after doing a buildconf

I have my JAVA_HOME and PATH's setup to get all java exe's.

configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-java=/usr/java/jdk1.3

now when I go to do a make it's trying to use zip and not jar, so what I did what I changed line 23 to match line 21 and everything compiles correctly.

So it sounds like autoconf is not recognizing the PATH statement in my system.

I'm not experienced enough with the autoconf and automake to really make this change so it works properly since I know that I didn't do the right thing to get it working.

if someone else has a suggestion on how to fix it properly please let me know, and hopefully the CVS tree will get updated.

I've seen this 'text images generators' but I would like to know where I can find some explanation about image manipulation like merging/mixing two or more images. Something like, I have a background image and some small image elements that will be somewher on that background image...for example, my background image is a table and I have some images like a book, a pen, a paper..and so on, and what I want to do is to create a final image where sometimes it will show two books and three pens on the table...sometimes it will be just a pen on the table... Have you ever seen something like that and where I can find information about that?

From your mail, I understand that you cannot proceed past the compilation step. I've seen the same on previous versions of PHP for Linux, but now this is solved. Maybe the Solaris version didn't got the same fixes... Anyway, PHP will look at ORACLE_HOME for the required libraries which has now different semantics for Oracle. Now(Ora.8i.later) ORACLE_BASE points to old (Ora.8.0.xx) ORACLE_HOME. The new ORACLE_HOME should be $ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6 (or whatever version you have). Hope this helps. -Stathis.

Simple. Add each username and password to a plain text file. Once an hour, have another script running under root's crontab check that file for entries and create the users.

Sorry, I made a small mistake in my code ...

this is correct:

$contents = file ($file); for($i=0; $i<sizeof($contents); $i++){ $staff .= eregi_replace("this", "with_this", $contents[$i]); }

$fp = fopen ($file, "w"); $fputs ($staff); fclose ($fp);

Hi list.

I have a strange problem with a PHP script (WinNT/Apache/PHP4/MySQL).

The line of code

$dayname = date("D", mktime(0,0,0,$cmonth,$eventdate,$cyear));

should, if I understand it correctly, fill the variable $dayname with the three-letter abbreviation of the day of the week for the date I supply.

I have $cmonth=3, $eventdate=26, and $cyear=2001. I would expect this to put "Mon" in $dayname, given that March 26th 2001 is a Monday. However, my script displays "Tue" which is a bit peculiar.

As if that weren't enough, it isn't consistent in getting the days wrong. For example:

November 30th 2000 was a Thursday. It gets this right. December 14th 2000 was a Thursday. It says it was a Tuesday. January 11th 2001 was a Thursday. It says it was a Monday. February 11th 2001 was a Sunday. It says it was a Monday. March 26th 2001 is a Monday. It says it is a Tuesday.

What am I doing wrong? Is it something to do with last year (officially it wasn't a leap year but as 2000 is divisible by 4, many people thought it should be)? I'm in GMT so unless it's a BST thing I'm not being affected by a local time zone.

All help gratefully appreciated....

Cheers Jon

attached mail follows:

Don't worry. False alarm. My bad. (etc)

Hint for people experiencing a problem like this in the future: when passing variables to mktime(), ensure $cmonth=3 and not $cmonth="March", I find it helps a *lot* :-)

Moral to the story: when having difficulties, echo your variables to the screen....

If you mean why would any script bother using a hidden form field to hold a value between html pages as opposed to holding it in a db field, I would answer there are reasons. One would be to use a hidden form field as a buffer so that you don't have to change a field's value until you are sure you want it to be in a persistent state. An example might be letting a user review values they have entered into form fields before committing them to the DB.

I've been using PHP for over a year now and have been successfully running three different websites developed with PHP, but I've never done anything with classes or objects. Even when returning data from a mySQL database, I use mysql_fetch_array() instead of mysql_fetch_object().

What am I missing by not using objects and classes, other than reusability? What are the real benefits to using OOPs in PHP?

attached mail follows:

I find the ability to write something once (say a mysql_connect(); statement) and be able to run it on any page just with $db->connect(); is pretty cool.

While that may not seem cool, if you some day change a a PHP statement that exists on many pages, this lets you change it in one place, instead of having to copy it to dozens of other places.

Also, what happens if you change your database password and now need to change a bunch of pages to have the new password?

Problem solved in OOP, because the vars are all in the same file.

You don't need OOP to keep your database connections in a separate file. You can either use classes or not but it's really just about style.

problem solved by building modular INC (or include) file... all the vars are in one file, and are included at the top of every other file, just as a class file would have to be.

depending on the nature of what you are doing, one of the things that i like about using classes is the ability to group functionality under a larger structure, the class. Instead of having a series of disconnected functions, i can instead write them as class methods.

another feature that is a basic feature of oop stuff is the idea of inheritence. So you can have a base class (CAR) that defines behaviour common to all instanaces of that class (var wheels, var door, method car start, method car turn signal on, etc...) Then you can subclass the CAR class to define specific behaviour for a particular car model (SPORTSCAR - var turbo, method car turbo on, etc..).

again, depending on what you are doing, this can be very beneficial. I suggest you start small and also take a look at other people's code. You will find alot of classes out there that make alot of sense and can give you ideas of new ways of doing things....

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any links to information relating to PHP vs JSP where PHP is my language of choice and another developer is recommending JSP but I know nothing about JSP to help me convince the buyer that PHP is a better choice.

A question that was raised is that PHP cannot be integrated with C++ for large functions etc.

My response was that I haven`t found a function that PHP cannot handle therefor integration was not a requirement

Anyone else have any valid upside or downsides to the languages which could help

Thanks Ade

Thanks that fixed it. I didn't realize there were two version of this variable. Why? Hmm, strange that the other one worked fine with IE but not Netscape. I thought all thi was done server side, so what the heck does the browser have to do with it?

As far as I know, $PHP_SELF is the variable and NOT $PHPSELF. It works in IE because if no page is printed in the tag, it just reloads the same page anyway. If you look at your html source while using $PHPSELF, you will probably see something like this:

Netscape realizes this is invalid html and complains, IE simply reloads the current page.

No, that can't be it, because it actually gets resolved....I have echo'd it out to the screen to verify, and it DOES get resolved in IE.

I am trying to avoid some concurrency problems by using locking tables in mysql. Problem is, I already locked the tables and still had a concurrency problem.

Our first guess is that since we are accesing the table with the same user, then when it ignores the log since it is the same user. But this cant be the way it works. I imagine its per process, not per user. But then, we are using persistent connections. Does this influence table locking ??

any ideas or thoughts on this are greatly appreciated... I know I am missing something here.

Can anyone think of any downside to this idea?

Set Apache to run as user/group "www:www"

Set ownership of PHP files and folders to "www:www" And set permissions to 700 So that ONLY Apache can read them.

Now - even if I give someone shell access to my box, or someone finds my personal login password, they still can't read my PHP passwords to MySQL.

(Of course I'd have to be user "www" when uploading changes/files to the website.)

Any other paranoid people tried this? Any downside to it?

Yeah ... I can create a .php script to read anything that is www owned, and then just run that using a webbrowser... It'll have www permissions just like your programs do.

Unfortunatly in a multi-user, php-module mode enviroment, making .php files secured from other users on the box is a near impossibility. Your best bet is to run php as a CGI program and use Apache's suExec functionality. This way you can keep all your php files under your login id's ownership.

I tried searching the list archives to see if anybody had a solution for this, but no luck. I even tried grabbing cdb 0.55, which somebody said worked, but still no luck. I would appreciate any help anybody could give me.

Thanks,

I'm wondering if I should organize the functions for my project into a single large file and have only one include/require, or break the code out into separate function library files and use a number of includes/requires.

With a single large function library I'm guessing PHP would parse this every time a page is called. So I could loose some overhead by separating my database functions into one file, my administration functions into another, my presentation functions into another, etc... then only including the function pages necessary - likely cutting the amount of code being parsed in half for any given page.

But then I begin wondering about the speed of making a require() to each of these files. maybe three to five requires per page.

Lastly, what about caching or compiling the function libraries so they're not being parsed each time?

Any advice on this?

I know you can replace A or B or C with D but can you replace A with B and C with D exclusively with one call to ereg_replace or does this need to be done seperately?

Hi All, I am writing a catalog and shopping cart. Our clients want a image on the page for the product. The page is a template generated on the fly. I could put the images in the db and call it from there, but I don't like doing that. Is there another way to put the pic on the page?

TIA Gary

Gary,

Put the path to the pic in the database, and the pic in the filesystem.

Ususally much faster, unless you have a very large number of pics in a folder.

In my humble opinion, I would place the actual images in your web directory and put the file names into the database so build your image tags.

Sure the db can store the actual image data, but I really believe that the filesystem is the better medium for the raw files.

Name the image relating to the product ID to keep the many files organized and unique.

My two cents.
