Hi !

actually, php is working as a shared object module in apache, which is
dynamically loaded thru a .so file. I will look into this and see if there
is away of initialising these env vars to a value at startup o webserver ..

U absolutely right when u say 1 can set these environment vars, using func
putenv() etc.as in PERL. I have already tried setting te vars PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to the correct value, but it doesn't seem to work at all
..
There seems to be something to do with conf of PHP, something in the
php.ini, or may be a FreeBSD specific problem ..

Hi!

I have the following class for checking a credit card

do like:

{

I believe this class is from WeberDev and I believe it comes with lots of

Hi!

Well the Class that I had sent earlier was really
complicated. SO I just found an easier script. Can
anybody tell me how this should work. If it returns 1,
0, -1 what should I do?. I am a begineer so please
bear with me.

there is noe.

in fast-cgi mode you scripts are executed the same way as if you were running as an apache module. there's no support to keep your script alive over request-boundaries (yet).

Thanks, that's right. Too bad. So the major advantage of FastCGI for PHP is, when your web server does not support mod_php, ie. when you're using something else than Apache. In Apache mod_php does about the same as FastCGI PHP does.

Too bad...

Hello! I want to uninstall PHP and Apache but I installed them according to the quick install instructions on the PHP site.

<put_on item='asbestos battle armor'> Urgh That's a rule back from ye olde COBOL days

------------------ function blah() { switch( $bob ) { case 1: return "this"; ------------------

This clearly says: "If $bob == 1, we return "this" (no further processing needed)"

Your preferred style: ------------------ function blah() { $retval = "";

switch( $bob ) { case 1: $retval = "this"; break; -------------------

... says "If $bob = 1 set $retval to "this" and continue processing"

That's misleading. And harder to understand, because it requires that you read through the *entire* function up to the "return" at the end, keeping track of which parts were processed in your case etc.

Taking this to a more complex example, what is more readable?

----- Ex 1 --------- function WriteIt ($Basename, $Data) { $retval = true;

$FP = fopen ("$Basename", "w"); if ($FP) { if (fwrite ($FP, $Data) == strlen ($Data)) { fclose ($FP);

$FP2 = fopen ("$Basename.copy", "w"); if ($FP2) { if (!(fwrite ($FP2, $Data) == strlen ($Data))) { $retval = false; } fclose ($FP2); } else { fclose ($FP); $retval = false; } } else { $retval = false; } } else { $retval = false; }

return $retval; } -------------------

or this:

------- Ex 2 -------- function WriteIt ($Basename, $Data) { $FP = fopen ("$Basename", "w"); if (!$FP) return false;

$Ret = fwrite ($FP, $Data); fclose ($FP);

if ($Ret != strlen ($Data) { return false; }

$FP2 = fopen ("$Basename", "w"); if (!$FP2) return false;

$Ret = fwrite ($FP2, $Data); fclose ($FP2);

if ($Ret != strlen ($Data) { return false; } return true; } ---------------------

</put_on>

Personally, I hate having the {'s on the next line. I always trail them in others code when they have them on the next line :)

I <<<'s out larger blocks. never need to switch between html and php mode in the code. I feel that makes it more clean. but this is as individual as preference for blondes, brunettes and redheads :)

Print out the PHP manual, place it on the altar of your local church, run around it 42 times dressed in ritual aborigine war fashion, sacrifice the caffeine-rich fruits of a south american plant by crushing them and pouring boiling water over the resulting dust.

And when you're done with that, take the manual and read it.

Thus you will find enlightenment.

Actually did that... plus sacrificed several small rodents, rubbing their internal organs all over the manual... in hopes that the PHP Gods would be kind and giving.... went into a cave for 12 years, then came back out ... having learned and understood much... but still no SET or ENUM.

I've since burned the manual, and tattooed PHP on my forehead.

all you need is to write cron file (with your preferable script) running every week. Than read customer list information (connect to pop server, or customer database, or if every customer has an email, just read from customer table), then use your preferable smtp mail to send an email to that customer.

maybe it's not as fast as you want, but it won't take your web server to handle the job.

With 30,000 users I recommend using a mailing list so your mail server can do the heavy crunching. Since you probably run PHP as an Apache module and I suspect your user database changes here are a couple of options to consider.

1. Create a cron job to periodically pull the email addresses from the DB and dump them into a text file that the MLM (mailing list manager) expects (may require an additional step depending on your MLM).

2. Install PHP as a CGI and have it do the same as in option 1, but do directly from your PHP script that sends the email. I say CGI so you can make the script owned by any user you prefer and don't have to make the directory containing the file world writable/readable.

If you choose not to go one of these routes you can try grouping email addresses together (perhaps 50 at a time) and batch listing them in the bcc header. You'll likely have to increase PHP's timeout setting in php.ini or within the script itself. I don't recommend this method b/c it will be *much* slower and you will not be able to take advantage of some of the nice features of your MLM that you should really use for a list this large. FYI, there are also methods for accessing SMTP directly (which avoids the mail() function completely). I know there's a class at http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/ and there are others elsewhere.

Is the relaying being done via a PHP script? If not, I'm confused why you put PHP and Apache in your subject and why you posted this to a PHP list. There are Redhat and mail server mailing lists that would be more appropriate in that case. In any case, you'll get better help if you check your log files and post relevant messages found there, post lines from config files, etc. If Sendmail previously worked on the box, let us know what has changed recently about the setup.

I just sent a post yesterday on how to get this to work. I does work well. Here is the post I sent yesterday:

Try using the new pdflib-4.0.0 .... It works great. Here is what you have to do:

Goto: http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/download/index.html

and download the source for unix.

Unzip and untar.

cd to pdflib-4.0.0/bind/php/ext/pdf

copy * php-4.0.4pl1/ext/pdf --- You may want to remove the current contents of this directory first...

cd pdflib-4.0.0 configure --enable-php make - you will get an error indicating that a makefile was not found ... just ignore it. make install

Link the newly created libraries to the /usr/lib directory: ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpdf* /usr/lib

Next just rebuild PHP as normal only add --with-pdflib.

Have fun...

Hi there,

Months ago I had a bad time getting PDFlib 3.0.0 to compile with PHP.. After I succeeded I was so glad I promised myself to never touch it again.. :-)

Well, I now have a barcode font which I need to embed into a PDF document.. I did this a long time ago, but have forgotten what the exact settings were that I used to accomplish this...

With some searching I suddenly saw that PDFlib 4.0.0 was available.. !! When I looked at the documentation I got a tinteling feeling in my stomach.. Finally the package comes with all the Tif/Png etc libraries which you first had to download seperately and try to compile with PDFlib.. Further this package has also been adapted to PHP (they even talk about it in the manual!!!) and it seems that you can also load the pdf as some kind of library when starting the script via the 'dl' function.. ( which I don't yet have any experience with..)

My question: Who has got some experience with this..? I grabbed a tarball of php-4.0.4pl1 and pdflib4.0.0.. Compiled both and tried to load the library via de dl option.. PHP can't seem to find this..

I am now busy to try and do it the old way and compile PHP with the PDFlib option enabled.. (did copy the /ext/pdf directory from pdflib to my php!) But if possible I would rather use the option in which the library is loaded into PHP as an library.. Speed isues aren't important, I want an easy and flexible way the change PDFlib versions without needing to recompile anything.. I also read that this was possible with the GD library..

I will be glad if I can hear anyone with some experiences with this new PDFlib.. I look forward getting this to work!

Thanks in advance.. With kind regards David Bouw

Greetings. (the thread was too far down to be read by anyone)

I am having some problems with the code itself! I have done like so, that whenever peopel wishes to see the "onliners", I start a function called DelOld(). This will not decrease server speed, nor create conflicts when writing to temporary files and so forth. Now, I tried to gather the following into an exploded array:

// the date output $date_output = date("Y-m-d-H-i-A");

As you see, I've seperated all with a "-" so I can simply call [0], [1], [2],... if I want something. Now, How can I compare if a user is away for like 10 minutes, or 30 minutes? I have a function called GetLoggDateofUser($Username) which will retreive the $date_output, but with colons and spaces, like so: date("Y-m-d H:i A").

Do you or anyone else have any suggestions?

Good point. I assumed that if the original poster didn't know how to accomplish 3 DB inserts within a PHP script then transactions and rollbacks were a little too advanced to get into (and the DB being used was never stated).

Or, even better, just use addslashes();

$query = "INSERT INTO table VALUES = ( " . addslashes( $formField ) . " )";

That way the quotes will remain in the value to display.

This isn't the Problem. The string was cut in the input field, not in database. Addslashes should be used before saving to database, though.

I don't use ereg(i)? much myself but for a perl compat regex I would: /^(([0-9a-z](\2*))\.([0-9a-z](\2*)))/i the \# refer to parenthized matches starting at 1 and counting left parens. The match array index you will want is $myArray[1]. if you don't mind matching 1a2.1a2 you can use /^(([0-9a-z]+)\.\1+)/i

or 123.456 /^([0-9a-z]+\.[0-9a-z]+)/i

I'm looking to compare if my array values match any digits or alpha characters with a dot between them... so, if I think I understand Regular Expressions (from what I could gather from PHP.net and Core PHP Programming by Leon Atkinson.)

I want to match any of the following:

1.1 or a.a

or 1111.1111 or aaaa.aaaa <-- any number of digits (0-9) or alpha (a-z) on either side of the dot.

if(eregi("^([0-9][a-z]\.[0-9][a-z]", $myArray[x]))

Is this correct? I think I'm missing something.

(Note that since the parentheses are unbalanced, the above will thorw a parse error.)

Since it's eregi, you don't need both [a-z] and [A-Z]. And by putting the digits and letters in separate character classes, the pattern can only match strings with one digit followed by two letters, a dot, another digit, and more more letters. IOW:

1ab.2Cd 3zY.9MX

(etc.)

Since the goal is to match like this...

> I want to match any of the following: > > 1.1 or a.a > > or 1111.1111 or aaaa.aaaa <-- any number of digits (0-9) or alpha (a-z) > on either side of the dot.

...try something more like this..

eregi("[0-9a-z]+\.[0-9a-z]+", $myArray[x])

...which would match as shown in the samples, where a single matched character on either side of the decimal is repeating. (change the plus signs to asterisks if "any" number of letters/digits can include no letters/digits.)

Check the error reporting level http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php. See the reader comment regarding E_NOTICE. It may be only that the error reporting level is set differently than your previous machines.

It sure sounds like the right function for your purposes. Or are you really trying to do an..

if(!isset($var) or empty($var))

...? Because if you do it like that (isset check first), the warning won't come up, even on E_ALL.

When you set it to 'nocache' you get a set of HTTP headers that look like this:

Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache

That forces things to not be cached anywhere.

The 'private' setting sends these headers:

Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: private, max-age=10800, pre-check=10800

The expires header is set to a time in the past to force non-HTTP 1.1 compliant caches not to cache the page. For HTTP-1.1 caches that understand the cache-control header the page will be cached only in private caches (ie. the end-user http-1.1 compliant browser) for the time specified by the session.cache_expire setting.

The 'public' setting sends headers like this:

Expires: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 20:57:16 GMT Cache-Control: public, max-age=10800

Basically this means that the page is allowed to be cached in both public (like AOL's proxy-cache) and private caches for the time specified by session.cache_expire

And no, I don't know of a way to do what you want. I don't think you can have the back button working and at the same time not allow private caching.

Thats very interesting. I normally use Netscape 4.7 myself, I find 6 to be a resource hog and just plain slow. I tried your site and as you pointed out, with 4.7 the registered var does not show. Yet, when I fire up IE all works fine. I guess what I find strange is that I am using sessions on a site I am working on right now. I have cookies off since I was getting strange behavior depending on OS and browser so I opted just to pass SID with URL as well. I register a handfull of session vars and on my site everything works fine with all the browsers (4.7 included).

Maybe someone remembers my post about my session-problem. Pretty much the same type. session gets registered just fine, but the var's are not being serialized() and put into the session-file. I never really relized that this only happens if I work at home, which is with a netscape 4.75 (running on OpenBSD). It just happens about 20% of the time. But *if* it happens, it will happen until I closed the browser and reopened it...

I have seen this running netscape 4.72, so all the reports seem related to netscape 4.7x. Last time I tried to work on this problem, I saw the error 10 times in a row (close the browser, reopen, login, repeat). Then I started putting debug statements in the code, and the problem went away, couldn't reproduce it. Sigh.

I posted about this same problem over a year ago. I finally gave up and reverted back to PHP 3 techniques of 1)generating a sessid, 2)registering the session by storing the sessid and the variables in a mysql database and 3)passing the sessid in the url. This works like a charm. I'd be curious if anyone has any comments on this.

I have a display_error function in PHP that I want to generate a screen with some information about the error, send us email, etc. The problem is that sometimes it's called after the headers have been sent and in the middle of a page. Is there a way to 'clear' the screen and putup the error stuff?

Is there a down side to registering a var with the session more than once? I.e. which would be preferred and why in a frequently accessed page in a web application:

session_register('var');

If (!session_is_registered('var') session_register('var');

FWIW - either way seems to work without any apparent issues. Seems the first way avoids a seemingly unnecessary conditional operation.

Hello,

Vox2Vox needs 2 developers for a short project. They don't need to work on site. The company is in Miami/FL and the developers can be anywhere. Please send Curriculum Vitae with your answer... Contact me directly.

Pre-requisites:

- Availability: NOW!!!! - 3 years experience minimum programming PHP (I mean needs to know very well PHP 4 - no bull please) - LDAP experience or equal DB experience (LDAP is a specialized DB...) - Some knowledge in Perl (needed for Mirapoint interaction - I explain more about that later - not a big deal though) - Good Javascript experience (The project works over frames and popup windows - so the developer should handle easily the interaction between them) - Good knowledge of browser capabilities for IE and NN (the project should be IE 3 and NN 3 compatible since some users of the project will be on Latin America/Europe/Asia)

Quick Description of the project:

Unified Communication (UC) is a reality today. Vox2Vox is a telecommunication company that work with Voice over IP (VoIP) communication between countries, linking a uOne Platform from Cisco (Vox2Vox is a platinum member) with a Public Switched Telephony Network (PSTN) around the world. This short project targets the launch of the alpha version for the UC online (internet) client (since we have phone and fax interfaces also). Basically the interface for the web is a e-mail client with some extra capabilities, and all those are already supported by the MiraPoint 2000 server. Our job would be to create a new interface, that would integrate this with our look and feel and with uOne. The uOne interaction is by LDAP. No concern with security is needed at this first phase, what make the project not so complex. More info after the approval of the candidate.

Time Frame:

Explanation of the project: 3 days - april, 25th to april, 27th) Development: 2 weeks (april,28th to may, 13th)

Payment:

Depends on developer experience. Per project type of payment (not per hour).

Project Leader:

Romulo Roberto Pereira Senior Internet Specialist Phone: 305.444.7433 E-mail: rpereiravox2vox.com

Thank you!!

Rom

P.S.: Depending on the results of the work of each developer, it would requested the help of the developer again on the Beta-1, Beta-2 and Final Beta developements also. Those will have better time frames.

Hi,

I discovered a bug in my program for uploading files, which stores the filename in the database in order to create a link for it on the web page in the future. The bug is when the filename makes use of special characters (e.g. Oplæg). When I create a link to the file, the link works with Netscape. With IE however, it says that file is not found. I discovered that if I use the "encoded" version of the file name ("Opl%e6g") it works on both IE and Netscape. What function or code is used to convert to this format?

Thanks! Floyd

I've heard a lot of people asking for info on imagemagick & php. I've created a small class that resizes images, gets info, and stamps images. It's nothing to call home to mom about, but it works.

I'm needing to have a form that pulls a bunch of database fields into it and then allows you to modify the fields and does the subsequent update in the database. This seems like something that has to be done all the time. Is there a right way to go about doing this? Some kind of class library or anything? Or do I just kind of code it up? Thanks for any responses.

Not recommended (you *should* use the ToolBox routines and create an 'alias' resource for the file), but yes, you can do what you're trying to do.

"Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:My Interesting File.txt" ------------ -------------- ----------------------- Drive Name Folder(s) Filename

You'll hit other snags doing it the way you want to, because the MacOS is not like DOS or Windows or Unix. (well, okay, OS X is like Unix, but that's not the point here...). If you're writing an application on the Mac, you should use the routines in the Mac Toolbox to do things... that way, your code will work on *any* Mac, not just the one(s) that are configured exactly like your test machine, with exactly the same hard drive name(s), exactly the same foldername(s), etc. Regardless, we are straying far from the topic of this list, since it has absolutely nothing to do with PHP. :)

This function:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fflush.php

Has no example on how you would code with it. Does anyone know?

It mentions "buffered output" how do you buffer output?
