Why not lease a dedicated machine in your favourite flavour. That way you
have the reliability of a hosting company that monitors 24-hrs, provides
generators, UPS, etc. but will have full control over site, configuration,
etc. There are many dedicated servers available in NT/2000/Linux/Cobalt
Raq/etc. that start at < $100 USD/mo. Understand, though that you are
responsible for updates, etc. including security.

My thanks to all for the input. I will be taking a closer look at leasing a
dedicated machine which will still give me what I am after, ie. ability to
compile, install, upgrade, software when/where I need but without some of
the sysadmin headaches.

Thanks again to everyone !!

I've written an alternative PHP documentation tool. You can get it from:

That's wrong. JavaDoc utilizes the Java Compiler. Check the PEAR repository there's a JavaDoc like tool in it.

Could anyone help me out with how to print the entire contents of a database as an Excel file? I'm familiar with the header:

header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");

just not sure how to go about it beyond that. I have this code and am not sure what do do after it. Thanks. Jeff Oien

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $Event = $row['Event']; $First_Name = $row['First_Name']; $Last_Name = $row['Last_Name']; $Title = $row['Title']; $Organization = $row['Organization']; $Phone = $row['Phone']; $Email = $row['Email']; $date = $row['date']; $id = $row['id'];

attached mail follows:

Excel spreadsheets are in a proprietary format as far as I know.

However, if you output the database one line = one row, and tab delimit the lines, Excel will notice you're importing a text file and give you some appropriate options (select delimiter, etc).

I'd go for tab delimiting over comma delimiting, since your text fields will probably contain commas but will *very* *exceedingly* rarely have tabs.

I've ripped some code out of phpMyAdmin to do this (ta Tobias, if you're watching ;)) - I can post it if you want to.

While not directly involving PHP, you certainly open up a database table in Excel, just create it as a pivot table or data import from a DSN. You can create spreadsheets based on specific SQL queries and table joins, that Excel will work happily with.

Hope this helps!

The header will make netscape offer you a download of the file, and IE will open it in a excell format.

For the display, just put your result in a nice html table and excell will convert it, it's quite simple.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print "<tr>\n"; print "<td>". $row['Event'] ."</td>\n"; and so on...

I know very little about php, but since you have already received a bunch of useless answers, I thought I add my guesswork.

In php 4 you can access MS documents through Microsofts OLE interface. That means you can manipulate an .xls file as you would be able to in VisualBasic. You should look for something called COM in your documentation.

I should add that I have never done it in php, only in perl...

Goodluck

Hello Keith, thanks very much. Sorry because I forgot explain following: picture files really are uploaded to host server, because I check temp file and they are ok (I check $userfile_temp variable). My problem is: I can't move, copy, rename or anything else other than 'open and read' this file. Whenever I try exec copy commands I receive 'copy command denied for /web/.....'. You know temp files will be deleted when script terminates, so I die with my pictures in hand.

Thanks again

Well, you want to store them in the database anyway, so "open and read" is sufficient. And for retrieving them you don't need GD. So you should have no problems.

attached mail follows:

the much easier method is to change all your code extensions to be either parsed or forbidden in httpd.conf

<Files *.egn> AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files>

AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc .php .php3 .phtml .egn .wml

that will protect agains people typing the url in their broswer to get the code. to prevent people from ftp'ing in and getting others code, not just their own use protftpd, this will allow every user to have their own root dir.

DefaultRoot ~/wwwroot/

in the users home dir, ie. /home/lee make a symbolic link callred wwwroot to where ever you want their home ftp dir to be.

ln -s /home/httpd/vhosts/lee.com /home/lee/wwwroot

done.

hey murph,

i have the same issue...the only thing i've found so far is the zend encoder....cept it costs money...too much for me....so, if you're worried about keeping others from looking at it on your server, i suppose you could change perms...but then you'd have to make sure they can still be accessed on the web....if you are selling them or putting them on others servers, i really don't know what you can do....

Great! I was hoping it wasn't only me. This is the same problem that I am experiencing, which I posted here earlier today.

I am using a similar setup, only I'm using RH 6.2.

I can produce the problem if the post-process page is extremely large (hundreds of kB). This is accomplished easily if you try to send back an mp3 file, for example. Anyway, if I cancel the stream in mid-send, the file itself gets written to the error log. I can make this happen repeatedly. I've tried the same code on Apache 1.3.12 + php 4.0.1 and php 4.0.3pl1 and it does /not/ happen. So far, I can only make this happen w/ Apache 1.3.14 + PHP 4.0.4pl1. I'm also currently fetching other versions of the two to see if it is isolated on 1.3.14 + 4.0.4pl1.

I want to note that it doesn't matter if it's text or binary, if it's large enough for me to cancel in mid-stream, it'll end up in apache error_log.

very strange.

You are not alone, Seth

Have a look at http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/barry20000731.php3 for an overview of db design and http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/joe20010104.php3

I havent read either in depth but they seem OK.

As a nice litle SQL overview i often recommended http://w3.one.net/~jhoffman/sqltut.htm which is a nice handy overview of all the various SQL commands.

Have fun.

(Funnily enough out of all my textbooks on DB design my favourite refresher on Normalisation theory is a photocopy of a chapter from a "Visual Basic 3 and Databases" pretty embarrassing but i've helped several people with it ;)

First up, thanks to everyone for the quick replies!! Went out to lunch, came back, lot's of replies -- thanks :)

I'll have to dig through the hard drive, and find the data stuff that i was working on a while back, so that we can discuss a real world example.

I'll probably post it late today or tomorrow.

I'm having a ton of trouble trying to get pictures to display. At first, I thought I had the problem fixed - but that's because the pictures reside on my machine.

Friends--

I know (at least the claim) that PHP can do marvelous thing to Flash files (with libswf), presumably including "streaming" realtime feedback of a script's action.

But I find the Flash user interface just buttugly and like LiveMotion instead. LM can readily create SVG. So two questions please:

Is there an existing library for SVG manipulation? Are there enthusiasts for this option?

If SWF is indicated, is there any known difference so far as libswf is concerned between Flash and LiveMotion generated SWF?

Many thanks.

Best, Ted

In php.general, you wrote: >I know (at least the claim) that PHP can do marvelous thing to Flash >files (with libswf), presumably including "streaming" realtime >feedback of a script's action.

It can't. PHP can generate Flash files directly (and using Ming - it beats libswf handily - http://www.opaque.net/ming/) but cannot edit existing movies. Since Flash allows you to load other Flash movies on the fly, you can mix static and dynamically generated Flash movies into the same presentation. As an example, you might have a master interface which is carefully hand-tuned in Flash/LiveMotion and has specific areas where generated movies are loaded.

Flash does offer the ability to load content from URLs, but not in a live fashion - you need Director / multi-user server for that. Since Director allows Flash objects, you could theoretically have your Flash interact with the server by sending communications through Director / MUS, but I haven't personally done this. Since Flash / Director performance will already be pathetic, introducing any sort of network overhead would probably reduce it to comical levels.

>Is there an existing library for SVG manipulation? Are there >enthusiasts for this option?

SVG files are XML, which means you can use either of PHP's native XML parsers to do low-level manipulation (the entire SVG + scripting option should be very similar to conventional HTML + CSS + JavaScript work).

If you're doing much at all, I'd strongly recommend you develop the appropriate function libraries / objects using the underlying primitives. I'm doing this with some extensive Flash generation and it greatly civilizes things - you cannot plan ahead too much with this.

>If SWF is indicated, is there any known difference so far as libswf >is concerned between Flash and LiveMotion generated SWF?

libswf / ming can't edit existing files; if you're using LoadMovie, either one should be identical. On thing which may be an issue is Action Script - if LiveMotion doesn't support it or causes problems "navigating" the action script variable hierarchy, getting multiple movies to cooperate would be difficult and kludgy.

I use PHP for pretty much everything. So I have Apache set to parse all files as PHP. But that's never been a problem before. (This is a new server, therefore new Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.)

Any ideas?

Apache isn't hanging - it's just keeping its existing subprocesses at hand in case some new request comes in. If apache would spawn a new subprocess on each request it would be painfully slow.

Hello everybody,

How does the behind the scenes work by PHP exactly go? Does the PHP thread remain active so long as the information is sent to the visitor? Or will PHP parse the code and send it to Apache which will send the data to the user itself?

The reason that I'm asking this is I'm writing a statistics add-on for one of my sites and was wondering whether the code below would give the time in which PHP parses the code or in which the data gets streamed to the user.

$time_one = microtime(void); fpassthru($file); $time_two = microtime(void); // + here will be the code to calculate the difference // betweeen $time_one and $time_two

Would I get information about my server (parsing time) or would I get some information about the requesters internet connection (how fast will my files get to the user). Both would be pretty important!

PS What are the advanced statistics programs out there? I wouldn't mind seeing a sample report (any commercial or non-commercial).

Thanks in advance in advance!

Yours, Lauri

Here is what happens... I am skipping a few steps here and there.... etc..

you type url and run.

the broswer finds the server... the server looks at he extension of the document and sends the page to the php engine. The engine parses through the doc, writing to the buffer (unless told to stream info) The page is completed... the engine returns an ok to the server.. the server then dumps the buffer out to the browser.

All through this process there is a live thread between your browser and the server. unless you send a cancel.

One minor addition - the connection will close when you hit cancel but the PHP code can continue running if you choose. This can be quite handy if you want to make sure your code can finish running or clean up nicely before quitting.

1 Apache receives the request and determines that it's a PHP script. 2 PHP parses your code 3 PHP executes your code 4 PHP passes output back to Apache 5 Apache sends output to the browser (optionally through things like SSL) 6 Apache finishes request (e.g. logs it, closes a non-persistent connection)

The catch is that steps 4/5 may repeat - this depends on your output buffering setup. PHP can wait and send everything when the script finishes, send output in blocks or send every output from each echo/print immediately. (PHP can also do things like compress that output on the fly, but that's a separate conversation)

>The reason that I'm asking this is I'm writing a statistics add-on for one of >my sites and was wondering whether the code below would give the time in >which PHP parses the code or in which the data gets streamed to the user.

You'd get the time needed to read the file and either send it or add it to the output buffer (depending on your output buffer config as mentioned above). By the time your code is executed, PHP will have already parsed your script (with the exception of things like conditional / variable include()s and require()s), so you'd only get the time required to execute the code, not parse it.

If you want to get round-trip times including transmission to the user, you'd need to have some way of getting the user's browser to record a second request, which introduces a lot of potential variables.

It might be interesting to see how something relying entirely on client-side calculation like the code below would compare with other approaches (e.g. Header("Location: measure.php?start=" . time()) where measure.php just does $elapsed = time() - $start). It should remove almost all of the server-side latency and, in theory, would give some reasonable indication of how long it takes to transfer a file over the intermediate network connection, which would give you a reasonable idea of available bandwidth.

(Disclaimer: completely untested code written just now which has never been seen by anything other than vi. Caveat programmer.)

<html> <head> <script lang="javascript"> Start = new Date();

function record_elapsed() { Now = new Date(); Elapsed = Now.getTime() - Start.getTime(); recordTimeImg = new Image(); recordTimeImg = "recorder.php?Elapsed=" + Elapsed; } </script> <? flush(); /* send this as quickly as possible */ ?> </head> <body OnLoad="record_elapsed();"> ... a fair amount of text / HTML ... </body> </html>

Really?!?

How do you choose to have the PHP script continue even if a browser leaves/dumps? I've always wanted to do that. Didn't know it was possible.

Why not simply use "ab" (the benchmarking app that comes with apache)?

The new install may be using a different php.ini file, or someone may have recently changed a php.ini setting. There's a new-ish option called "disable_functions" which can be used to selectively turn off functions--system() and exec() being two of the more obvious targets for this. Call phpinfo() to check whether a global or local setting is preventing those functions from running.

To get around this, I supose I need a few lines of code that first test if my file exist and then if it doesn't I will have to create it using the touch command?? Any other ideas?

Is this a *nix server? In which case you may have problems with the directory permissions. Note that the directory as well as file permissions must be set to allow the webserver user to read and write if you wish to create files. Also the directory structure must at least allow access down the tree to the point where you are working.

If the permissions on the file were right, I think yes.

To point out another possible problem

$answerFile = "$questionFileName-A.txt"; Then I go along and open this later with $wa=fopen("$answerFile","a");

Actually the fopen attempts to create the file if it doesn't exist. But I'd be worried about the $ in your filename? If php tried to parse that as a variable you may get unexpected results? I think that $answerFile might contain the value '.txt' Try echoing it and see....

Ok, Assuming that your school server is an *nix system I think I know the solution.

Apparently fopen () works fine if you just append to an existing file, but fails if it has to create a new file. So - do you have write permissions for the directory you place the file in (creating a file means modifying (i.e. writing to) the directory) ?

If I'm right this won't work as well.

I use a MySQL table to localis(z)e both words & printf formats:

If the phrase structure is likely to be different, you store the printf specification as well. example:

body_beg(SITENAME.' '.nls('Statistics')); // title & open body ... $ds=formatdate($dte); // localized date string ... printf('<H5>' .nls('Statistics for') ."</H5>\n", $ds); ... printf('<H5>'.nls('Topsignupurls').' </H5>', 30, $ds);

For programs, use system() (if they can accept arguments in a comand string and return values to STDOUT). For libraries - only if you wrote a PHP extension using those libraries. PHP programs have no C-style access to memory, so they can not communicate with C libraries that not aware of PHP.

You can't do that with PHP as it's *server-side* scripting language. Image caching must be done client-side, using for example JavaScript.

Try this in the HEAD section of your HTML page:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"> <!--

if (document.images) { img01 = new Image(); img01.src = "path/to/your/image.gif"; img02 = new Image(); img02.src = "path/to/your/other_image.gif"; // and so on... }

Hello all

One part of the task that I have been recently been assigned involves creating a 'code archive' of sample applications for a certain Visual Basic control. The idea is that a web visitor can download code snippets and the associated Visual Basic project file in a .zip file. By playing with the code snippet (of which there are about 100), the web visitor can then learn more about how the Visual Basic control works.

The code archive should have all the usual features: description of how the code snippet works, date entered into the archive etc. In a nutshell, the code archive should look something like the one at:

http://www.zend.com/codex.php

Before I start work on my own, I was wondering if anyone else had created such a code archive? Or whether there perhaps exists one as an open source project somewhere?

If you have any idea where I could get such a (set of) script(s), I would love to hear from you.

What help can PHP offer me - i.e., how can I write my hypothetical findDepth() function? Please help!!

COROLLARY 1:

If the hypothetical function findDepth() returns the appropriate string, does it _need_ to be echoed or will just putting <?findDepth();?> in the correct place work?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm stuck for serveral days now on the following problem : whatever I try, i can't get the openssl_seal function to work. Even the sample code in the documentation doesn't work. I precise that the .dll is well loaded, I don't get any error while trying to call the functions of the openssl lib.

I use PHP 4.0.4 on a NT4 server, with IIS. I also tried PHP 4.0.4 on a WIN2K server with IIS and Apache. Same result.

I use the following code :

---------------------------------- $data="test data";

$fp = fopen("test.cer", "r"); $cert = fread($fp, 8192); fclose($fp); $k = openssl_get_publickey($cert); openssl_seal($data, $sealed, $ekeys, array($k)); openssl_free_key($k);

echo $sealed; -----------------------------------

$k returns a correct id BUT $sealed and $ekeys remains ALWAYS blank/false, as if the seal function didn't work at all.

I used certs generated by openssl.exe on NT, with bit depth for RSA encoding of 384, 512, and 1024, the result is the same. $sealed is always blank.

I precise that with the same certs/private keys couples, the functions openssl_sign & verify are working perfectly.

So anyone has an idea of the problem ?

Thanks for your help,

eXXos.

Hi, I am trying to use the Function ArrayCompare, but it always has an error in "if(($key = array_search($element, $array2)) == false)", and also I couldn't get the page of http://www.stivesdirect.com/e-mail-disclaimer.html Would you please give me a clue? Thanks!

function ArrayCompare($array1, $array2) { $answer = new Array() foreach ($array1 as $element) { if (($key = array_search($element, $array2)) === false) { $answer[$key] = $array2[$key]; } } return $answer; }

this will return an array that is a copy of the first array with only those elements that are not in array2. If you only want the first one either just use the first one( foreach(){ ... break;}) or put a break in the if.
