that's not true.

you can call a static method with the "::" notation.

like ClassName::method();

there's doesn't need to be an instance to do that.

not sure if that's true for all of PHP4 or just 4.04 or whatnot.

Except that it will throw a warning in PHP4 if $var is not set. => isset () should be used.

If you have output buffering on then you need to flish the buffer (see the manual) otherwise it should happen automatically.

I think if you use flush() you can send it continually. Rembember to end every line or the browser will not understand that it shall show it. Tables can also give you problems, they do not show until they are closed.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on converting my site to PHP/MySql.

I need to figure out a way to import several thousand text files into the database while applying certain PHP functions to them.

From now on, when a user submits a new document, it gets a random docid assigned to it using the following method:

$time = time(); $rand = Random_Password(5); $docid = $time . $rand;

Random_Password is defined as:

function Random_Password($length) { mt_srand((double)microtime()*10000000); $possible_characters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; $string = ""; while(strlen($string)<$length) { $string .= substr($possible_characters,(mt_rand()%(strlen($possible_characters))),1); } return($string);

After they fill in a form and paste thier document, the following fields are submitted to the database:

$query = "INSERT INTO documents VALUES ('$docid', '$category', '$subcategory', '$date', '$subject', '$title', '$author', '$email', '$language', '$grade', '$level', '$city', '$state', '$county', '$school', '$zip', '$authors_comments', '$teachers_comments', 'N', '$docdata')";

Now, the million dollar question is: how do I import the several thousand text documents I already have while applying this formulae, aside from manually submitting each one ;-)?

Here's an example of one of the text documents: Currently, all text documents have exactly the same format: -------------------------------------------------------------- $docid $subject $title $author $email $language $grade $school $country $author_comments $teacher_comments $date -------------------------------------------------------------- The only thing that changes are the fields after the colon and the body itself. I realize that the current text files do not have all of the information for the new database such as $subcategory, I'm going to have to grandfather the old text files in somehow. Also, there are certain fields that are enums in the database, so I need to make sure that each field conforms to that, eg; one of the subject fields in the database only allows for "Computers and Internet" not Computer, so I need to rewrite that string before placing it in the database. I also need to change $grade from any alpha strings to a percentile grade, eg: [b-B]=92 (see database format below).

-------------------------------------------------------------- Document ID : 100 Subject : Computer Title : internet beyond human control Author : Email Address : Language : english Grade : b School System : ohio state university Country : USA Author's Comments : tom dodd Teacher's Comments : well done Date : 5/96 --------------------------------------------------------------

More homes, companies, and schools are getting hooked online with the Internet during the past few years. This change has started to become the new way of life present and future. The Internet system is

And here's the database format: CREATE TABLE dox ( id bigint(20) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, docid varchar(20), category enum('Language Arts','Sciences','Humanities','Arts','Special Subjects','Other'), subcategory enum('Physics','Biology','Chemistry','Math','Computers and Internet','History','Economics','Geography','Law','Religion','Philosophy','Black Awareness','Countries','Drugs','Education','Environmental Awareness','Politics','Health','Sex and Sexuality','Female Awareness','Art','Movies or TV','Music','Sports','Charles Dickens','Shakespeare','Biography','Fictional Stories','Astronomy','Mythology'), date varchar(10), subject varchar(200), title varchar(200), author varchar(200), email varchar(50), language enum('English','Danish','Dutch','Finnish','German','Spanish'), grade int(3), level enum('High School','College','Other'), city varchar(15), state varchar(15), county varchar(15), school varchar(45), zip smallint(5), authorcomments varchar(200), teachercomments varchar(200), approve enum('Y','N'), docdata text, PRIMARY KEY (id), UNIQUE id (id) );

I realize that this is a lot, but from what I have read since being subscribed to this e-mail list, you guys have talents that are far above and beyond the scope of this. Thank you so much for your help (and wisdom!).

No answer, but a question. I noticed you're using, in effect, two id's for each entry, a id number and a doc id number. The first is accomplished thru auto-increment. Wouldn't it be easier to us just one id number, a=LAST_INSERT_ID(id+b) and reserve the first 10k numbers (b), whatever is needed for your old files then run a php code to format your old entries and increment those 1 - 100000....and forget about random numbers. If I'm not mistaken, if you generate random numbers you'll have to check, to be on the safe side, to make sure the random number wasn't used for someother doc.

attached mail follows:

the first field, ID, is just for keeping a standard sequence and isn't called from any web pages. The second ($docid) is a random field which is called from a web page, which makes it harder (if not impossible) to guess/hack. This makes it a bit more secure.

A note about the old docid #'s, my intention is to replace the old $docid with one in the new format. And, since the random docid is based (partly) on the time at which it was generated, there's not much chance of it being duplicated.

Hi Folks:

I just wrote a basic XML parser using the parse_xml() function set. Does what I want on the first document. But, if I try to run a second document through, it chokes saying "junk after document element."

All of the files are valid and parse okay if I just send one file through. Also, the program runs fine if I redeclare the parser before parsing each file. While this works, having to redeclare the parser each time seems far from efficient.

So, is there a better way to handle this, please?

Sample code is below if you're interested.

Thanks,

--Dan

<?php

# Declare Parser Once. # Only works for first file.

# NOTE: 'StartHandler', 'EndHandler' and 'CharacterHandler' # functions left out for clarity.

$Parser = xml_parser_create('UTF-8'); xml_set_element_handler($Parser, 'StartHandler', 'EndHandler'); xml_set_character_data_handler($Parser, 'CharacterHandler');

$DirHandle = opendir("./StartTest"); while ( $FileName = readdir($DirHandle) ) { if ( ereg("^file.[0-9]{5}$", "$FileName") ) { $Contents = implode( '', file("./StartTest/$FileName") );

if ( xml_parse($Parser, $Contents) ) { echo "\n<br />Yipee!"; } else { echo "\n<br />UGH! "; echo xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($Parser)); } } }

Hello All...

I wanted to write a program that would search google for specific keywords from my database, and report to me if it found my domain, and if so what page it was on.

Well it works, and it's very cool I might add, but then it fails... :( But it doesn't fail right away.. I have had it fail as fast as 5 mins into exec, and as long as 1 1/2 hours into exec... and when it does fail, it spits out 1 error over, and over, and over, just as fast as it can (i think it gets stuck in the "for").. and the error says something about "invalid file handle resource"...

I am testing it with 4 domains, and 90 keywords, and only having it search the first 50 pages.. It takes a domain from mysql and then gets the list of keywords to check. It then calls google and checks each keyword page for the key domain.

Below is a copy of my code as it stands right now. I don't expect anyone to have a quick answer to this problem, but I am hopeful that someone might see something in the code that could be done better.. hopefuly.... :)

Hmm. What's that 'or brake' stuff? 'brake' is used as a constant, but you don't show what it's defined as. I assume what you're going for is an 'or die()' function call...?

This happens because you are dealing with DOS text in a unix environment. You can use dos2unix utility in order to correct this problem. Remenber, always transfer text files unix->dos->unix using ascii mode.

I don't understand. It's appending Content-Type to all of the files. I tested a few other files like tgz files and it put a content type in them as well. Since the files are being uploaded in a browser form, shouldn't the unix / dos issue be eliminated?

That's a php 4.0.4pl1 BUG.

Hi folks!

I am a used C programmer and now my company decide to switch every non performance critical web stuf to php. Since i am just a php beginner i have some questions i could not find anywhere!

As you may know, C does not provide any kind of support for garbage collection, every thing you want to be done you have to tell (in C) by yourself. But in PHP i have no ideia about how it manages memory. for instance:

In C:

str = (char *) malloc(10u);

if i decide to alloc new memory for str (just for explanation purposes), and i do:

str = (char *) malloc(33u);

i would be in trouble, cause the reference for the previous allocated pool of memory would be lost. The approach could be to save the previous references or use realloc.

Now, my doubt: How PHP deals with this:

$query = "select * from apm where id=3";

/* do my processing */

/* and set query to a new string */

$query = "Query done without errors";

What will happen with the previous allocated memory for $query? I don't like my application eating memory without releasing it after they are no need any more.

May some one explain how to prevent such scenarios ?

Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation.

best regrads.

You dont need to worry about mem mangement as PHP does it all for you.

Hello,

I am trying to update an Oracle 8i CLOB field. I have looked at previous messages on the list and am trying the following:

$sql="update murtland.articles set title='$title',release_date=TO_DATE('$release_date','YYYY-MM-DD'),body=:body text,sections='$sections',mod_date=TO_DATE('$mod_date','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),mod_userid=$userid where articleid=$articleid"; //echo $sql; $stmt=OCIParse($conn,$sql); $bodytext = OCINewDescriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB); OCIBindByName($stmt,":bodytext",&$bodytext,-1,OCI_B_CLOB); OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT); $bodytext->save($body); OCICommit($stmt); $bodytext->free(); OCIFreeStatement($stmt); OCILogoff($conn);

However, this gives me the error: invalid LOB locator specified.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Chris

$count = 0; while ($count <= 10) { echo "Number is $count <BR>\n"; $count++; }

I think - if you're feeling obscure - that

$count = 0; while (($count <= 10) && print 'Number is '.$count++." <br>\n") {}

will work too. As will - using alternate while syntax -

$count = 0; while ($count <= 10): echo 'Number is '.$count++." <br>\n"; endwhile;

See:

No, but a cookie that expires in ten years is almost as good. I bet no one will have the same cookie file long enough for that to expire.

What are some methods for persistant user tracking?

I need to limit the number of times a person can search for certain material without forcing them to create a login.

Currently I am using cookies to limit the number of searches a person can do but, quiting and removing the cookie file easily defeats that. Storing their IP address locally would work but then not everyone has a static ip. Would grabbing the MAC from their ethernet card be doable? Again alot of people use modems.

Any thoughts or resources you know of? tks mitch

You need to use server side cursors. You may want to look how that is done in Metabase, a PHP database independent package that has a function MetabaseSetSelectedRowRange($database,$first,$limit) that may be used before executing a query and it works like if you are using the LIMIT $first,$limit query of MySQL.

You may want get Metabase for free here:

http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/20

You may also want to look into this Query result table display class that uses this Metabase feature to display query results split in pages:

I've had PHP installed through the RedHat RPMS listed below.

php-imap-4.0.4pl1-3 php-manual-4.0.4pl1-3 php-4.0.4pl1-3 php-ldap-4.0.4pl1-3 php-mysql-4.0.4pl1-3

Unfortunately, I discovered there's a bug in this version, so I need to remove the rpms and install PHP by compiling the source. I've been playing with it for a few hours, but haven't had any luck, so I figured I'd ask here. What's the easiest way to compile PHP and load it into Apache?

If I understand correctly, because of the rpm, PHP resides as the file /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so

Apache loads PHP with the following command in httpd.conf LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

I'm not sure (can someone confirm please?), but I assume Apache is loading all of the modules as DSO. Is the goal is to remove the rpms and create a new /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so file by compiling the PHP4 source code?

If so, how do I go about it? The directions for PHP make it sound really easy. I tried them tho and the php files just show up as plain text. Here are the instructions I tried (that didn't work).

-Ed

$ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs $ make $ make install

If you get an error telling you that the apxs script could not be found, look for it on your system and if you find it, provide the full path to it as: --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs

Next you must copy php.ini-dist to the appropriate place (normally /usr/local/lib/php.ini) and edit it as necessary to set PHP options.

The only thing left to do is to edit your httpd.conf file and make sure the PHP 4 mime type is there and uncommented. You need a line that looks like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Then restart your server (apachectl restart) and you should be able to serve up PHP files now. Make a test file called test.php and put some PHP tags in it. Like <?phpinfo()?>, for example.
