Hi folks,

Version 1.0 of my POP mail client "PHPost" is now available for download
(it's freeware) at http://webgadgets.com/

There's one problem that's bugging me though. The script checks for the
mcrypt module and uses it to encrypt/decrypt the contents of the session
data file. If it's not available it base 64 encodes it (not really secure,
but better than plain text storage).

Anyway, it seems to work fine with or without mcrypt except for one thing.
PHP is running as an Apache module (FreeBSD, latest Apache) and the Apache
process itself will die with a seg fault immediately after the php script
is processed. From the users point of view everything seems fine since it
happens after the page is displayed, and Apache just fires up a new process
to replace the dead child. This only happens if I use the mcrypt functions,
yet they appear to work properly (the file is encrypted and decrypted
properly).

Any thoughts?

You can see how I'm using the functions if you look at the source to PHPost.

Hello,

Do I need to get new GD files and change php.ini or chan I just change the

H-

You might want to make sure your version of GD supports JPG format.

If I'm not mistaken newer versions of GD don't support GIF anymore and
the earlier versions of GD didn't support JPG but PNG format has always
been supported.

Maybe it's related to GD and not PHP at all.

Just a thought.

You probably don't have, or didn't point your compile to, the jpeg
library. If you still have your PHP source and compiled stuff, look in
config.log for clues - search for libjpeg.

Hi. I'm a converted Perl guy. While I generally like PHP better than Perl, I do severely miss the Perl operator qq, which allowed statements (in my case, lengthy SQL statements) to be written on multiple lines.

$this = qq|Select * From xsdfs Group by date Order by id |;

Is there anything similar to this in PHP? I've been unable to find it if there is.

If there are multiple lines returned, you'll only get the last line in $return.

buy Meloni's "PHP Essentials" or the "Teach yourself PHP in 24 hours" to start. They are made for total beginners. Then move on to "Professional PHP programming" or "PHP4 Bible". That will give you a better start.

Hi,

get an editor which suits your needs and demands, a server and (if needed somr database app) and just do it by trial and error.

tutorials on php: www.phpbuilder.com www.webmonkey.com www.devshed.com

feed any search engine with "php tutorials" and find more.

good luck Johannes

Some useful linux install instructions found here for apache/php/mysql...:

http://www.e-gineer.com/instructions/

And lastly, don't fear the manual. It may seem scary right now but soon you'll find just how useful and wonderful it is. Don't worry about understanding it all but getting the words boucning around your head is a good thing. It's also good to know how to use a function first :)

The best way to learn is start reading and coding. Code any and everything your heart desires and be sure to add interesting features to your code. Also read and print out this :

What I want to do is to use an object to create a site.I plan on initiaizing the object on my page index.php, and just recycling index.php with different variables, so that I get different pages. Ideally, I want the object to read a site config file, so that I can modify the site config file for different sites which use the same backend, and have each sites page read that. What is the process of object creation in php4? What happens when you call new objectname? Where could I find this out (short of reading the source - I need to do this by tomorrow...)

You'll be reinitializing the object on every page request - objects aren't perisistant across requests. You can make the data in that object persistent - basically recreate the object every page with the old data (PHP4 sessions would be one way to go here) but you won't be able to make the objects themselves persistent.

Hi!

What do you think is best..: - have alot of small .php (files)? - or a few big?

What's good & bad with these solutions?!

Execution time!!!!!! Big files if not well developed = large exec time meaning server timeouts.

small files = less timeouts and better debugging and modularity which ALWAYS better. Modularity allows you to plug in and pull out pages with out rendering you whole site unusable.

Of course you can have a few big files and some small files with it, depends on what the big files do, Classes and common functions can be grouped together.

Depends, usualy i dont have scripts over 1000 lines. I like to have a few larger files in my directory seperating different similar functionality in them, I think it's also a good idea to have all functions in one file, makes them easy to find. But alot of small php files can also work, I would reccommend you try some different solutions out and find your own style.

you have any numbers for this? I think small files with slam code takes as much memory?

ok well depends on how you define small :) functionality for a special function on a site can go up in many lines too.

attached mail follows:

If you are serious about developing PHP scripts one of the major advantages of modularity is the ability to reuse with great ease. Developing large files that contain many functions that are not related WILL reduce that.

Try using files that you can resue and adapt to any situation.

attached mail follows:

one of the nice things of dynamically created sites is the ability to protect your site from people just using your code and potentially harming not just your site but others.

The code that is used to the site sometimes have some very hesitive data and data manipulation routines that you don't want getting out.

Hi All,

Quick rookie question for you......

I have a PHP page where I'm manipulated data and re-organized the data in table. Now I want to write out the page containing the table data with the HTML file extension. How would I go about writing out an HTML file from within a PHP Page.

Thank you, Rob McMahan, Jr. Interlink Group Inc. rob.mcmahanilg.com

If you mean write to disk, you'll need the Filesystem functions; fopen, fwrite and fclose probably. You'll need to have the data you want to write out stored in an array, and you'll need to be aware of permission issues when trying to create files with fopen.

Running linux RH 7, apache and php 4.04 as a module. I have a web pagewith an image that is chopped up and regrouped into a table. There are a few spots on the image that link (a href="") to other pages and I use some javascript for rollovers. Now, within the table, I have two input fields and I have another word which is part of the larger image that the user clicks to submit the form. This is done with <input type="image" src="xxx">. The image can be clicked which in turn calls a login script, if the form data is found in the database a session is started and a few session vars are registered. The SID is passed along with the URL and everything works fine. My sticking spot is that I would like the image that is used as the "submit" button for the form to also use "MouseOver". In my above outline, the image works fine as a submit button, but I am afraid people may not think to click there to submit thier login info.

I tried the following javascript to the form page which gives me my "mouseOver" functionality but thats where it stops.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"> function sub() { document.mainlogin.submit(); } </SCRIPT>

......

My login script creates a session and then uses header()(and I append the SID) to forward the user to the main page where I again issue "session_start" to continue the session. In the browser, after pressing the submit image it just stays there, but on the server I am having two sessions created. I presume one for the loging script and another when session_start is called on the main page. One session contains the appropriate registered vars but apparently the SID is not being passed from the login script to the main page. The only thing I have played with is the form, not the login script or the main page. When I dont use javascript for submitting the form everything works fine, yet when I implement javascript to submit the form it ceases to function. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure but I think register_globals or something like that could be the problem. I'm pretty sure that with this set, you don't have to use the $HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTT_POST_VARS arrays. Without it set, you are forced to use these arrays.

register_globals = on: $HTTP_GET_VARS['testme']; // will have form info $testme // will have form info

register_globals = off: $HTTP_GET_VARS['testme'] // will have form info $testme // will be empty

I could be completely wrong, but I think this is how that works.

Apologies if this has been addressed earlier.

I'm using session.auto_start under an apache-ssl driven site, and it seems that the sesion ID cookies aren't being sent with the "secure" flag set. As a result, the browser is effectively ignoring the cookie.

Is this an obvious configuration problem that I'm too dumb to figure out, or should I actually be worried?

Hi folks

An unusual problem (I think) with how to save state in an error class.

THE AIM is to consolodate PHP errors, user errors and failed asserts into one common format, which can then be written to screen, logged, emailed or written to a socket in any combination required.

THE MECHANISM is to a) register callbacks for the PHP generated errors and assertions, and to b) put user errors into the php system with trigger_error(), so PHP routes them to the error callback function.

The callback functions instantiate the error class and pass through the parameters. The class then handles the error output and calls the appropriate error handler.

THE ISSUE is that unlike a normal class, it may be called in the background by the PHP error handler, so there is no calling function to return a value to. Also, as the PHP errors are only WARNINGS and NOTICES, the PHP error handler may call the class a number of times during a single script. So as I understand it, any values stored in the class properties will be lost as the class is re-instantiated.

So my question is this - given that the class can be called multiple times in the background, how can state be saved so the application can decide what action to take in response to the error?

The best I have come up with so far is to set a global constant:

function _set_error_state() { if ( in_array( $this->error_number, $this->terminal_error_list )) { if ( !defined("REDIRECT_REQUIRED") && !DEBUGGING_ON ) { define( "REDIRECT_REQUIRED", TRUE ) ; } } } This means that in production mode, the first terminal error encountered will set a GLOBAL which can be accessed by the wider application. The error handler is set in the same way.

This seems to work fine, but it feels like a bit of a hack. Is there a better way to get this done?

I am very new to this game, so apologies in advance if any of this doesn't make sense.

Thanks

You need to use:

Try quoting the index key (which is, after all, a string), and moving the variable outside the double quotes. Since that leaves just plain string text, you might as well turn the remaining double quotes to singles too. Save an extra microsecond or so <g>.

echo $myrow['id'] . '<br>';

What I did for something like this was: I donwloaded all the information that I'm (probably) going to use and store it in variables/arrays, but I don't display them. Only after an event happened, like onClick, I display the relevant information using javascript, since javascript can access a php variable.

I don't if this can work for your problem. But the idea basically is download everything first from server side, and display what is necessary from client side. That way you minimizing the reload/refresh, which take painfully long time for some of the clients.

Hope that helps Reuben D. Budiardja

in the onCLick event of the checkbox call a javascript function. In that function use a window.open() method to open aother browser window, using the open() methods various properties to control how that browser window looks and feels. For the URL for that browser window, make it a PHP script passing an ID. That script would run against the server and database, returning the results in whatever HTML format you include in that browser window. Works similiar to a popup but allows you to run a dynamic script instead of loading up on javascript arrays or variables when the page loads.

I got it working, and YES... PHP did understand the commas as separators just like in C...

so what I have now is

for(reset($array),$count//this removes the 7 top elements of an array...

I wonder if I did a function like array_sshift(&$array,$number_of_elements) it would work fine... I'll try...

By doing this:

I got the same results from my benchmarks, also. Unless you want to change variable in function and get modified value, do not use reference. Without reference, PHP4 executes script faster. Due to reference counting in PHP4, probably.

If you have a month "2", you need a year as well since February's days vary according to the year, so:

$daysinmonth = Date("t", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 1, $year));

By any chance is that "print" line occuring within a function? The fact that it prints fine then becomes "blank" later sounds like a classic global scope vs. local scope symptom.

That depends a little on what you mean.

Making it _look_ like Windows Explorer should be easy. You can create HTML tables to mimic the layout and some gifs to mimic the graphics and create it using PHP from your data fairly easily.

Making it _work_ like Windows Explorer will be much harder. Trying to duplicate all the menu functionality and all the right click functionality with any degree of crossbrowser reliability will send you spiralling into JavaScript Hell.

Thanks!

I just need to browse the fields from the table, that's it.

Some ideas please.

Try CHECKED for checkboxes - SELECTED works for dropdowns.

Send some code to the list, ie the full statement? If you're in an echo "........" statement, of course you can't drop into <?if {}?> commands, etc.

Use that code, $avail just isn't evaluating to 'n' so try this somewhere above it :

$avail = 'n';

And it will be checked otherwise it won't. And btw, you tried setting value="n" that won't work unless this script submits to itself AND the user checks it before submitting so it'll remain checked.

What are you wanting to do and where does $avail originally come from?

Philip

Well, this little snippet works for me...

<?php $avail = 'n'; ?>

<?php if(isset($avail)) { echo "Value of AVAIL: $avail"; } ?>

If you aren't getting the value you expect in $avail you may have problems.

Hi, I need a way to POST data to another script on another server, without using a form and without using GET (i.e. foobar.php?name=value), I then need the user to be sent to that page (which now has the data).

Is that possible? I found some functions (PostToHost), but they only POST the data and do now direct the user to the site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

BTW: I can't use sessions or anything like that.

Hello! I am relatiovely new to PHP and I need help with the "fsockopen". Well I use this to check if the server is online or down. But that's not exactly what I wanted it to do. I have this "downloads page" and I am more into detecting if the "remote files" are available for download or not. Can fsockopen do this? If so, how could I do it? And if not, what's the solution I can use? Thank you.
