There is a mistake in your code with the way you are trying to provide multiple
values for the objectclass attribute.

Your code first assigns "organization" to the objectclass, then replaces this by
assigning "uidObject" to the same variable.

I think what you need is
$info["objectclass"][0]="organization";
$info["objectclass"][1]="uidObject";

This is the way you assign multiple values to an attribute.

I suspect that from the error message you were getting your LDAP server was
doing schema checking and probably the rules were not allowing an entry that was
missing the objectclass "organization".

I don't think "DESC $table_name $field_name" is valid SQL, is it?...

DESC is DESCENDING in an ORDER BY clause...

Perhaps if you used DESCRIBE?... Is that what you are doing?...

There are built-in functions for getting the table definitions and so forth.
They may work better...

DESC {table name} [{field name}] is a valid expression in MySQL. It's a synonym for the DESCRIBE keyword. Though the query could still be failing for any number of reasons (invalid table name, invalid field name, older version of MySQL that doesn't support that syntax, etc.).

Throw in die(), mysql_error(), $php_errormsg; turn down error_reporting, and/or turn off display_errors...anything but using the sign by itself (a surefire way to never clue in to much stuff is silently going wrong).

Hmm, maybe the prefix '' suppresses the returning link-identifier. Just a suggestion!

attached mail follows:

From experience with oracle, desc only works in an sql prompt, not through code. So use the more lengthy method

in mysql: SHOW FIELDS FROM $table_name

in oracle: SELECT c.column_name, c.data_type, c.data_length, c.data_precision, c.data_scale, c.nullable FROM sys.dba_tab_columns c WHERE c.owner = '$owner' AND c.table_name = '$table_name'

The usage of the output buffer is interesting, but it is still based on highlight_string(). What I want is a function, in plain PHP, which runs on the server, not on the client, act as a pretty printer for php code, expandable for my own functions. Has nobody ever written a better/customizable highlight_file()-function?

attached mail follows:

I second that, EditPlus rules!

It's also very easy to create your own custom syntax highlighting rules, templates and auto-completes so it can highlight custom libraries, etc. that you use. For example, if anyone's using Manuel's excellent Metabase database abstraction class, I've uploaded syntax files, etc. for the XML tags it uses to describe the database schemas.

Hey sorry 'M' about my last post...

I was giving you ideas mixed with how to access an IFRAME ;)

anyway to access frames you have to do like:

window.parent.framea.window.document.forma.texta.value = window.parent.frameb.window.document.formb.textb.value

attached mail follows:

framea and frameb don't know about each other, but their document and their window should know both of them.

So, you can use document.framea... and document.frameb... to access each other's variables.

Also, if these variables are coming from PHP, and if you are using FRAMEs mostly for looks, and not so much to save downloading one of the frames all the time, another alternative, avoiding JavaScript, which you can never trust to be on, much less to work properly when it is on, is to actually send all your links back to the main frameset page, and pass the variables down in parallel:

---- main.php ---- <?php $foo = isset($foo) ? $foo : ''; ?> <HTML> <FRAMESET> <FRAME SRC=framea.php?foo=<?php echo urlencode($foo);?>> <FRAME SRC=frameb.php?foo=<?php echo urlencode($foo);?>> </FRAMESET> </HTML>

---- framea.php <HTML><BODY> <?php echo "foo is $foo \n"; ?> <A HREF=main.php?foo=bar TARGET="_top">bar</A> <A HREF=main.php?foo=different TARGET="_top">different</A> </BODY></HTML>

---- frameb.php <HTML><BODY> <?php echo "foo is $foo \n"; ?>

I think you just want:

And, since proce won't do much with an empty $line1 anyway, you can probably get rid of the if() parts.

Or use "global $line;" or add $line to the $GLOBALS array, so that the function's local changes to $line carry over into the global namespace.

Assuming that you are using the ISAPI version of PHP, it is probably crashing because that version of PHP is not very stable. You should upgrade to 4.0.6 which contains improvements in that area, but it is still not perfect. If you find 4.0.6 unstable either change from ISAPI to CGI or if you can, change from IIS to Apache and use the Apache module version of PHP.

OK, cool. :) I *think* I'm using the ISAPI version. Unfortunately, I don't have much control over the server situation for this particular site...

Here is the "culprit" -- This is going to fire up a sendmail process for every single email.

You are going to choke your server to death with tons and tons of sendmail processes.

Actually, after about 50 of these, the mail() function is going to fail. With an "Unable to fork" message, I think. Then, a few of those early sendmails will finish, and your loop will still be going, and some more will go through okay, until you're back up to 50 concurrent sendmails, and some more will choke, and... You'll never be able to keep track of which ones worked.

Here is an excerpt from some code I wrote recently.

This uses PostgreSQL, so you'll have to adjust it a bit.

Hopefully the comments and debug output I've left in there until this is in production awhile will be sufficient as-is.

Better more general-purpose code is available in Manuel Lemos' mail class at UpperDesign and several other SMTP email functions/classes. This is pretty raw and unplugged, but that's the way I like it :-)

*ALL* of these lines are needed to essentially replace the one line above...

<?php # This is to be run as a cron job. # This script: # Opens the SMTP port # Initiates an SQL transaction (thus making this script thread-safe) # Grabs any queued email, in "liame" order, and for each email: # Attempts to send that email via SMTP # Snags the emailid from SMTP # Updates the database with the emailid and marks that email "sent" # # I may also code it to: # Move any sent emails from "queue" to "sent" # Or maybe I'll do that in another script, to reduce execution time of this one

# Open SMTP socket: $smtp = fsockopen('localhost', 25, &$errorno, &$errorstr, 2.0); if (!$smtp){ if ($errno){ die("SMPT returned Error #$errno: $errorstr \n"); } else{ die("Unable to open SMTP \n"); } } # ... and let SMTP say "Hi": $greeting = fgets($smtp, 1024); switch((int) $greeting){ case 220: # Everything is beautiful echo $greeting, " \n"; break; default: die("SMTP was expected to greet us, but said \n$greeting \n"); break; }

echo "Saying HELO \n"; flush(); # Now, we say "Hi" back: $bytes = fputs($smtp, "HELO listbaby.com\r\n"); if (!$bytes){ die("SMTP wouldn't even take our 'HELO' \n"); } # ... and let SMTP say, yeah, yeah, let's go: $gotit = fgets($smtp, 1024); switch((int) $gotit){ case 250: # Everything is beautiful echo $gotit, " \n"; break; default: die("SMTP didn't like us when we said HELO \n$gotit \n"); break; }

# Now, we're ready to start spewing out the emails!

# I'm not real clear if I need both the transaction and SELECT ... FOR UPDATE ... # But I reckon having both won't hurt, eh?

# Serializable is "more" transactional than the default: /* But I don't have that in my version... Hopefully you do... $query = "set transaction isolation level serializable"; echo $query, " \n"; flush(); $serialize = pg_exec($connection, $query); */

# Hmmmm. What I *really* want here is to mark the emails I'm sending # as "pending" right away for all transactions to see, # so if *another* copy of this script runs in parallel, no duplicates are sent... # I'm going to ignore this for now, really, and just not run two in parallel, # because I haven't quite figured out which isolation level does that... $query = "begin transaction"; echo $query, " \n"; flush(); $transaction = pg_exec($connection, $query);

# liame is "email" backwards -- As I understand it, SMTP can go faster if it your emails # are pre-sorted by destination.

I'm betting on your ISP having a version of PHP so old that the URL-wrapper isn't in the file() function, so it can only open local files, not URLs.

You *may* be able to fopen("http://www.php.net", "r") and read it that way -- The file() function lagged behind fopen() in terms of when URL support got added, I believe.

Use <?php phpinfo();?> to check the PHP version on your ISP box, and nag your ISP to upgrade to something from this doggie-decade.

Here's the deal:

mysqld, the database server, has to be running and sitting there waiting for mysql, the client, to be able to talk to it.

Before you can use any of the other mysql things, you *MUST* run mysqld (or safe_mysqld).

So, start up an extra DOS Windows, and run mysqld.

It will start up, and then just sit there. It's not hung. It's supposed to do that. It's now a database server waiting for somebody in another DOS window to do something interesting to talk to it, like mysql.

2 choices:

#1 (for the real hacker geek) Compile your C program *into* PHP as a function, using the PEAR stuff. You may need to use PHP's http://php.net/serialize function to turn your array into a giant string and write a C routine to unserialize it, or, by the time you get done converting your program to PEAR, it will just accept your PHP array as an argument.

#2 (pretty slick, though...) Run your C program using http://php.net/psockopen and use http://php.net/fputs to spew your data at it one line at a time.

Well...

Neither of these solutions is practical, much less elegant, but...

I *THINK* that if you wrapped everything in an http://php.net/eval you'd be able to stick an in front of it and suppress parse errors... But don't quote me on that...

Another option would be to write a PHP page that fetched (using fopen or file) the PHP page you really wanted, and then parsed the results looking for a PHP parse error message, and then either sending the results on out or, err, doing whatever it is you want done.

Your final option, of course, is to "Use the source, Luke" and either (A) alter it to actually allow a higher level of error_reporting that suppresses even parse errors, or (B) whip up a try/catch mechanism to donate back to PHP-Dev in your copious spare time. Yeah, right :-)

IIRC, Thies posted once that the Environment variables *must* be defined in the environment, before PHP starts, for things to really work properly.

That's all he said (IIRC), so I don't know why it would matter, but if Thies *did* say that, you can bet that it's right :-)

> is there a function to get the mime of a given file? if so what?

Probably not...

For starters, PHP doesn't really know much about mime-types, because they are defined by Apache*, not PHP.

Secondly, mime-types *can* change on the fly in different directories based on .htaccess files, if your httpd.conf has .htaccess turned on. ISPs turn it on for their customers to have whatever weird-o file types they want. Dedicated boxes turn it off and set them all in httpd.conf for a big performance gain. Checking for, and reading, an .htaccess file in every directory above the current one for every single file served is pretty expensive. So any such function would either return suspect results (ie, subject to change by .htaccess) or would require the URI of the file, not just the name, and be rather slow.

Post why you think you need this function, and maybe somebody will have a suggestion for how to work without it.

* If you are working under Windows, I have no idea how they decide what the mime-type of a file is, and I don't really want to know...

if you dont know PHP that well, you should implement it in a language that you know, then work from that and translate it into PHP.

i used to do that with perl/PHP when i was first learning PHP... sometimes, things are more obvious when expressed in a language that you're more familiar with.

Hi Everyone,

I want to thank the response I've gotten for this posts but unfortunately non of them have helped significantly. I don't know PHP that well so ideas you give me I can't implement.

If someone could either A.) Do it for me :-) B.) Show some examples that directly relate to me

It would be more than greatly appreciated.

I can usely figure things out, but I guess I'm just slow to this.

Hello,

I have a script that does TV/Tour listings for artist, I need it to sort the list automatically so that it goes in date order but I have absolutely no idea. I have put together the script with little to no PHP skills so it look pretty horrific.

If you could help me out with figuring out how to fix it, it would be muchly appreciated.

How about solving both problems at once? :-)

Yes, go with the N:N (the technical term for that car_option table) relation, *AND* give yourself a weighted search engine to boot!

create table car (car_id auto_increment...); create table option (option_id auto_increment...); create table car_option(car_id int4, option_id int4, key(option_id));

insert into car(name) values('Chevy Nova'); insert into car(name) values('Lexus'); insert into option(name) values('a/c'); insert into option(name) values('power window'); insert into option(name) values('power locks'); insert into car_option(car_id, option_id) values(1, 1); insert into car_option(car_id, option_id) values(2, 1); insert into car_option(car_id, option_id) values(2, 2); insert into car_option(car_id, option_id) values(2, 3);

NOTE: The Lexus has all those options (at that price it had better!) and the Nova, well... It has a/c! :-)

Now, assume the user wants everything, so you have: $options[1] $options[2] $options[3] all "set" to some value by your checkbox.

#Untested code. $query = "select count(car_id), car.name from car, car_option "; $query .= " where car.car_id = car_option.car_id " $query .= " and (1 = 0"; # 1 = 0 is a "starter yeast" for the following: while (list($option_id) = each($options)){ $query .= " or option_id = $option_id "; } # finish off our options OR list... $query .= ")"; $query .= " group by car_id ";

--with-zlib-dir works and --with-zlib doesn't? :-) :-) :-)

If you got it to work, leave it alone :-)

Please re-install the distribution

I'm guessing that PHP is not finding one or more of libexpat and/or Sablotron, whatever those are, so while you asked for XSLT, whatever that is, you can't have it bacause PHP can't find the stuff it needs to provide it.

See if there's some --with-libexpat-dir or --with-sablotron-dir (or similar) directives you can use to tell configure where to find the stuff it needs.

Oh yeah: Add this to the http://bugs.php.net database, since the error message is just a little bit bogus, eh?

> It's pretty easy to use PHP to update MySql server through the web sever. Is there an easy way to use PHP scripts to update the MySql sever in a standalone mode (without the web sever)? Any sample scripts?

You use the same scripts, but a "different" PHP.

If you are on Windows, you can do:

c:/path/to/php.exe -q c:/path/to/your/script.php

and it will run it.

On Un*x, if you compiled PHP from source, go back to the source directory and copy "config.nice" to "config.cgi"

Then, edit "config.cgi" and take out the line that says: --with-apxs=/path/to/your/apxs

Or, if you compiled as a static Module, the line that says: --with-apache=/path/to/apache/source

Then, make "config.cgi" executable: chmod +x config.cgi and run it: ./config.cgi

It will (hopefully) produce a binary file called "php".

Last time I did this, I had to rip out some fancy stuff like GD or TTF support or something, because I couldn't get it to compile as CGI (stand-alone) with some things... YMMV.

Throw that file some place convenient, like, /usr/bin and make it world-executable: chmod +x /usr/bin/php

Then, you can call PHP scripts from the command line a variety of ways:

#1 /usr/bin/php -q /path/to/your/script.php

#2 Add a line to the tip-top of a PHP script: #!/usr/bin/php -q

Now, all that compiling and stuff *may* be just too geeky or tricky or something for some people. There is a hack (slow, inefficient, ugly) way:

You can use "wget" or "lynx --dump" from the command line to "surf" to a page, which wastes an HTTP connection for as long as that script takes to run. But it works. :-)

Once you've got that working, several cool things are possible:

cron jobs, to run PHP scripts at specific time intervals. See man cron, man crontab, and man 5 crontab

PHP shell scripts for people who consider Perl ASCII soup [like me :-)]

Web pages that do double-duty as shell scripts, if you don't mind either very bare-bones web-site, or some <TAGS> in your shell output :-)

I think you just run it and it does things, and it all then works...

It's been ages since I did it though...

Those are really name.x and name.y in HTTP, but since "." is not allowed in a PHP variable name, you get "_" instead.

So UPS is using, almost for sure, name.x and name.y in their "variables".

(Well, they probably have something else as well, but if you give them name.x and name.y, they'll convert it like they always do.)

Search the archives for Rasmus' "posttohost" function from way, way, way back when.

Or they're using an image input named "name"; for instance, as a graphic button. When the user clicks on it, HTTP automatically passes the click's x and y coordinates as {input's name).x and {input's name}.y.

Before spending too much time hassling over this, it might be worthwhile to check with UPS about whether they're even using these two values. If they're being passed from an image map or something, they may care ("click on the shipping center nearest you", etc.); OTOH, if it's just a standard submit button, they may be ignoring that variable anyway.

Almost for sure, yes.

You'll need to transfer by hand any info that must transfer.

You need those \ in there to store it into a database.

If you don't use a database, you can turn MagicQuotes off in php.ini

If you *do* use a database, you can use http://php.net/stripslashes to strip out the slashes.

If, after turning off MagicQuotes, or calling stripslashes, you find you need them back in there after all for something, you use http://addslashes

Hey Marcus,

Lots of different ways...first, the \ is being added because you have magic_quotes turned on...you can use set_magic_quotes_runtime to turn them off in a specific script, edit your php.ini file to turn them off completely, or just do a string replace - replace \' with ' and \" with " best of luck, jack dempsey

You can use stripslashes($yourvar) for this.

You can this behavior off by setting magic_quote_gpc to off in php.ini. Please not that if you'll try to insert this values to a database without the slashes, your queries will break, and they'll become security breaches.

Think about this:

$query = "select * from users where username='$u_name'";

and the user enters into the $u_name field: ' and '1'='1

Ouch...

However, if those dashes were escaped with slashes, the query will execute and return no values.

Never trust input from users, always check it.

I might be wrong, but if you did something like this..

<?php

$somevar = your database stored data; $somevar = stripslashes($somevar);

echo $somevar;

would work quite well, I think.
