here are two regexps that might do what you want

"\w" matches alphanum (1-9a-zA-z)

IMO, the best way to check for non-alphanum chars is to check for "\W" (upper case is negation of alphanum, which will match only non-alphanum).

if (preg_match('/^\w+$/', $data)) { print "entirely alphanum } if (preg_match('/\W+/', $data)) { print "Contains non-alphanum!!"; }

(0-9a-zA-Z_) actually. Don't forget that zero and underscore!

Yep, works nicely as long as including the underscore as one of the alphanumeric character is acceptable for your purposes.

Is there any function that can fetch a time of last modification of the remote document.

For example I have a links based on the MySQL database, and I want to know what linked site was most resently renewed.

Thank you

What I do is put a timestamp in the database, using the time(); function, select it and format it.

Hey,

This is not what BRACK a.k.a. Youri meant (it seems that Youri is being misunderstood daily...)

He meant that if you can see when the remote server pages have been updated by their respective webmaster. I personally don't think that there is a way you can get this information from *ANOTHER SERVER*. But I hope I have clarified Youri's question once again.

Hi folks

Strange goings on with PHP_SELF and mod_rewrite

On my development server, PHP_SELF gives me the original request url, before it is rewritten.

I have moved the app onto a shared production server, and now PHP_SELF is givimg me the path AFTER it is rewritten.

Which is the "correct" behaviour, and what is causing the "wrong" behaviour?

Any advice much appreciated

I've been working with register_shutdown_function() to have the browser kick of a long running script and move on to other tasks. I was having problems where the browser would sit and spin untill the function was done running, then would display the page. I tinkered with flush and fflush (i'm writing to a file also) but that didn't work either. Flush showed me the screen, but the browser still keeps the connection open untill the function was done running. It seems to be caused by the mysql query or result and the loop of the result set. Below is some of the test script I put together. I'm using the PEAR DB_mysql class. I'm using the sleep where the part of the real script takes some time to run.

Has anyone dealt with this before, does anyone have any ideas? The only idea I've thougt of so far is to load the record set into a 2D array and then flush the result set. That might allow the browser to disconnect before the time comsuming job starts.

Any suggestions will be appriciated.

<?php include "DB/mysql.php"; $db=new DB_mysql; $db->connect($dsn);

echo "hello"; register_shutdown_function("tester"); exit;

function tester(){ global $db; $sql="SELECT * FROM table"; $result = $db->query($sql); while($row = $result->fetchRow(2)){ sleep(5); } } ?>

I don't think the problem is the open source nature. Corporate people usually do not see flaws on it. But they do not see the advantages too because there is little advertising.

Especially here in Canada I find it very hard to find any kinds of contacts for companies using PHP. My previous employer that I was with for 3+ years insisted on Micro$oft products and wanted to go with ASP.

My current employer, a HUGE media/newspaper in Ontario goes with strictly Java.

Is it that people still are hesitant to go wth open source based technology?

Hi,

I am another person having trouble with the exec command. It has worked for me in the past, but not with the perl script I'm trying to exec today.

Here is my code:

$command ="/home/kyelateas/cgi-bin/test.pl"; exec($command, $return, $status); if ($return) { $return = implode("\n", $return); print "<pre>Data = $return\n\nStatus = $status</pre>"; } else echo "No data returned";

I have two perl scripts. One of them simply prints "hello world" 4 times with a newline after each time. This works fine and the php page prints out the "hello world" statement 4 times.

The problem is that I have another perl script which is a test script for an interface to an ecommerce server. It returns several lines of info describing the transaction. It works perfectly from the command line, but I can't get php to return any data when I use the above exec code on it. It's strange to me because from the shell they are pretty much the same. Type the path and name of the file to execute it and it returns a few lines of output. Why would this be any different for php? I know the script that connects with the ecommerce server takes a bit longer. Could that be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Here's the deal: I swear this code worked to set a Cookie on IE 4.0 for weeks. Now when I went back to the site, it isn't setting the cookie. I isolated the script into its own file with nothing else before or after and am still having no luck.

<? if (! $ArtPrintSession && $CheckingOut != "1") { $temp1=date("U"); $temp2=getmypid(); $SessionID="s".strval($temp1).strval($temp2).strval(Rand()%1000); SetCookie("ArtPrintSession",$SessionID,time()+60*60*24,"/"); } print "$SessionID"; ?>

Here's what I've tried: * Clearing the cache and erasing all other cookies. * Setting the Cookie rules to "Prompt" and then "Accept All" * Uploading this program to another website of mine which does successfully send cookies to IE 4.0. However, this script doesn't work. * Uplading the script to the server in both ASCII mode and BINARY mode. * Closing and restarting IE. Shutting down and rebooting the PC. * This script DOES work with NETSCAPE.

Even when sent to "Prompt before accepting cookies", I don't get a reaction on IE. This same copy of IE is accepting cookies form other sites.

I know it's going throught the IF statement because a $SessionID is generated and printed out.

Is there a bug in the script, or is this an IE problem?

Hi again,

I can't really see much difference in the example you gave?

But if it may have something to do with the "casting of an unknown fraction to int", I'll use floor() instead of casting. Same result:

floor((8.85-8)*100) = 84

I find that quite odd. I tried a few variations:

floor((8.85-8.0)*100.0) = 84 floor((8.84-8)*100) = 83 floor((8.83-8)*100) = 83 floor((8.82-8)*100) = 82 floor((8.85*100)-(8*100)) = 85

Thanks Tim and Daniel.

$PATH_INFO works perfectly. The really nice thing is I can have a form post to it... Also good call with the base href. I would probably have forgotten it and just used absolute links.

This is a follow-up to my previous cookie post.

I discovered that the bit that Internet Explorer 4.0 didn't recognize a cookie as valid when I included an expiration time.

This Works: setcookie ("ArtPrintSession",$SessionID);

This Doesn't Work: setcookie ("ArtPrintSession",$SessionID,time()+3600);

I also tried setting the expiration time earlier in a script and assigning it to a variable: $ExpTime = time()+3600 setcookie ("ArtPrintSession",$SessionID,$ExpTime);

That also didn't work.

The $ExpTime values look like: 997317780

What's the bug???

My question is that i am about to start a database and i have been asked to make the login/password like htaccess, now they also want to be able to modify passwords ect.... so i was going to do it with mysql.

I have seen or been told that there is something where you can use sql/php and make it use something that look like htaccess but is not.

is this true?

if so where would i start looking for something along these lines..

You don't need session_register() with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. Just assign vlaue. If you want to unregister, just use unset().

Using session_(un)register() with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is tricky. So don't use. (You can save lines, too)

If they didn't click on the submit button, then they didn't click on the submit button, and it's not "set" by the browser.

Check if the variable you care about inserting is set instead.

Almost for sure you're going to have to read it byte-by-byte and parse it...

Here's a start: <?php $path = '/path/to/bacache.xxx'; # 'b' is only needed on Windoze, but shouldn't hurt Un*x $file = fopen($path, 'rb') or die("Could not open $path"); while (!feof($path)){ $author = fread($file, 300*100); # You may or may not need to convert each byte somehow... # Is a C int 2 or 4 bytes this week? Sigh. $top = fread($file, 4); # Now, *THAT* almost for sure needs converting... # Maybe you'll be lucky and hexdec will do it... $uptime = fread($file, 4); $touchtime = fread($file, 4); $busystate = fread($file, 4); } ?>

You'd probably want all sorts of error-checking in there...

Not sure what is going on, but try viewing the output of your server via a text-based telnet (IE Un*x).

telnet yourserver.com 80 GET /index.php HTTP/1.0

Hit return twice after that GET line.

No. This will register a variable whose name is literally '$name' over and over, which (A) is not what you want and (B) $name isn't a valid varible name anyway.

Lose the ''s

Also, you only need to session_register $name once, outside the loop, not umpteen times.

> $$name = $value[$x];

I think you need $$name[$x] here... You're blowing away all your arrays with scalars, otherwise...

Same thing about '$name' here.

> $$name = $value; > } > }

> Can anyone help me on this ?

This sounds like a pretty weird thing to do... Do you *REALLY* have that many POST variables and you want them *ALL* registered?

> Also what is register_globals ?? Should I have this on or off ?

If it's off, you are stuck with using $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS all the time -- $name will not exist unless you explicitly set it.

The alleged "increase" in security from turning this off is quite debatable since the real issue is about not using variables you haven't initialized (turn on E_ALL) and never trusting user input.

The speed-up is probably not measurable unless you have an insanely high number of variables you are POST/GET/COOKIE-ing back and forth, which is wrong anyway.

See PHP-DEV archives for details, since somebody erased my user-contributed notes to the web page. :-^

I believe you want chown, not chmod, in order to set the file's group to set:

chown [user]:[group] filename In this case:

chown :test test

You can do this for test and *ALL* subdirectories/files using -R

chown -R :test test

If you want the *USER* test to own the file as well:

chown test:test test

man chown

maybe be useful.

A) This would only work immediately after an INSERT, which may or may not be useful

B) Technically, this might not be the most recent 5 if *OTHER* inserts have happened in between your call to mysql_insert_id() and the query for the last 5 in a non-transaction situation. If you have transactions going on, this can get a bit confusing, depending on what kind of transactions etc...

A final note: While I can't imaginge how/why/when it would change, I'm not at all certain that an auto_increment ID field is really the best way to get the most recent inserts from a dba point of view. I generally use a time-stamp for that purpose, to be more explicit that I'm getting records created most recently, rather than the coincidence of having the highest IDs.

Actually, I guess if the project is small enough or if you're really anticipating millions of records and don't need creation date for other purposes, I'd go with the ID field after all.

If I hit reload and re-post the same data, you'll need to detect that somehow...

Put a unique HIDDEN variable in your FORM, log it to the database when you see it, and if you see it a second time, don't increment $Stage.

The other possiblity is to use:

Any reload will simply pass back the same old Stage the browser got in the first place.

Why are you adding a \n there? That pretty much pukes the rest of the headers, since it's a newline you've forced in, and now the other stuff is part of the data, not the headers...

Also, use application/octet-stream for download, I think.

> header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file_name"); > header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

Is this the full path or a relative path? I never trust relative paths when it comes to file-system operations. But I have a low trust-value in computers, software, and life in general. :-)

If you did it right, it would work. :-)

Hi,

I would like to know ..is it possible to let my client resize the picture from the browser instead of having a default height and width. If yes, can you give me some idea of how to do it.

Hi,

I am running PHP 4.06 on Windows 2000 with IIS 5. I am running PHP in CGI mode.

I seem to be getting "CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: "

Why is this error happening ? Please dont ask me to shift to DLL mode of running PHP as it gives worse problems like access violations etc.

It would be really helpful if someone could tell me as to how correct the same.

Thanks, Karthik.

Read, and follow the instructions on this matter as documented towards the end of the install.txt file which came with your distribution.

Hello,

I have a customer who wants to implement Paypal instant payment notification on his website. Basically, he wants a script that emails a custom message once a customer purchases an item. Instant Payment Notification has the ability to do this.

However, I have a couple of questions:

-- Is this really the best method? We're going to implement a shopping cart on the site, too, so Paypal might not be the best solution. -- Does anyone have sample code for Instant Payment Notification?

If you'd like more information about Instant Payment Notification, you can go here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/acc/ipn-info Note that this requires you to login with a Paypal account.

Here's a brief synopsis taken from the above page:

How It Works When a customer makes a payment to you, PayPal will post a notification to your server at a URL you specify. Included in this notification will be all of your customer's payment information (e.g. customer name, amount) as well as a piece of encrypted code. When your server receives a notification, it will then post the information, including the encrypted code, back to a secure PayPal URL. PayPal will authenticate the transaction and send confirmation of its validity back to your server.

After you have activated Instant Payment Notification, your server will be sent a notification every time you receive a payment, this notification will be sent as a hidden "FORM POST" to the URL you specified, and will include all of the payment information. The FORM variables for the notification are listed below:

To me, this seems kind of like a hack -- i.e. there should be a better way to do this, perhaps as part of a (free or low-cost) shopping cart and payment prcoessing system. Also, there seems to be no way to test this without sending the Paypal user money. (I am going to contact Paypal about that one.)

Any experiences, good or bad, and advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Erica

Actually it doesn't seem like too much of a hack, except that it seems to be not a realtime operation (otherwise why would they need to contact your script?).

Good points:

1. PayPal contacts your script to tell it about the transaction, this script could be anywhere.

2. Requires verification from PayPal.

3. Encrypted transaction identifier from PayPal means you don't have to protect your receiving script with SSL.

Bad point:

1. Sounds like it's not realtime.

I think I saw a code to list the files, subdirectories and the files in the subdirectories of a simple directory in this list some time ago, but I didn't save it. Considering the quantitie of messages in this list, It's quite dificult to find this specific code, so ask the person who did it or someone else to write this code again.

I'm using this one:

$publico = ftp_nlist ($servidor, "public_html/publico"); $cont = 0; while ($publico[$cont]){ print "$publico[$cont]<br>"; $cont++;}

This code doesn't show the files in the subdirectories and it requires ftp connection. Not very efficient.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a problem if I just write "thanks in advance"??? It's easier then writting back to thanks everybody :)

Hi Guys,

When naming classes and function's within the class(and even functions(probably more so?)) do you use a common string infront of everything? For example HM_function_name()

The reason I am asking is because what if you want to easily intergrate a class/function with lots of other classes/function and then you find out there is two with the same name?

Any thoughts on this would be good!

That's right... Checking _too_much_ is useless. But you let me how you check too much? Checking whether or not a variable is set doesn't take any performance. Getting errors and warnings... that sucks. Some guy worked at this company who -we found out- hardly ever checked the results of his db-calls... just because that wouldn't look nice in his code. I mean... what kind of a person are you then. You won't believe how many errors and warnings his code produces. If you use functions calls and don't check the returnvalue(s) your just asking for trouble. And come on... tell me how much performance it takes to see whether or not the returnvalue is true or false after a db-function that takes up about 5 or 6 seconds. Then you're gonna complain about the performance you lose by checking if that db-function succeeded? Tell me... you have any warnings and/or errors logged to your logfiles? Or do you have the errorreportinglevel set to absolute nothing? You ever check if anything goes wrong? How the h*ll can you guarantee functionality of your site?
