On which platform do you run?

set display_startup_errors = On
so that you eventually will see any php initialization problem (like the
folder where session data is stored being not accessible because of
permission restrictions...I say that because I ran into this problem)

to recap, code should be on first page:

<?php

session_start(); (not necessary if session_auto_start=1)
session_register("a");
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["a"]="something";

and on second page:

<?php

echo "Value of a is: ".$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["a"];

should return:

Value of a is: something

Okay. This solves the problem w/the warnings

It is actually on

Done. Nothing changes at all...
my variables are saved (session_register("a") returns true) but from the
second page,
wich code is:
<?session_start();
print $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["a"];
print "<br>$a";
?>
i do not see anything at all...

more suggestions?

thanks in advance

Does anyone know some good programs (or other ways) to download an entire dynamic website?

Thanks

I'm trying to get a "working..." informational dialog or window going with my PHP page but I'm not getting anywhere. Here's the situation:

When the user clicks on a link that has to gunzip a very large file, I want a popup to say "Working..." while the file is uncompressing. Then, when the file is uncompressed, I want the "Working..." popup to close itself and then the parent window to load a new URL (where it will use the uncompressed file).

I've tried doing this with Javascript and window.open(), but I'm having no luck. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Is the uncompressing taking place on the server? or on the local (user) machine? Sounds like it's on the server.

The problem is, you have no *real* way of knowing how long the de-comp will take (due to other factors, like server/client load, etc etc), so how do you know when to go from "working" to "done".

So, i'm trying to figure out WHY you're uncompressing a file on the server that will be used by visitors over http.

Seems wrong to me. Increased server load, more programs, more problems, slower server response time, increased user anger, etc etc.

Enlighten me as to why, because I may be missing something.

When I use the fsockopen command onto an IP address that does not exist, the page will freeze until it's execution time is up. Right now I have it executing the external ping command and reading the results from that. Does anyone have a better idea using maybe a OS-independent scanner or some code to remove that process?

Thank Ye Kindly Brian

attached mail follows:

Make sure you pass fsockopen() the optional timeout parameter, and that the timeout is less than the maximum script execution time.

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php

Hello, what he explained with GetVariable works fine. I just want to add that you do the opposite, sending value to flash via php, by echoing the querystring in a php file and use LoadVariable to read the value and display it in the flash movie.

Hello all,

Is is possible to just append to the end of a file using fwrite??? Currently I am reading the contents for the file into an array then add to the array what I want and rewrite the file from the array... And well that is just silly... How else would I do this??

attached mail follows:

when you open the file with fopen(), use the 'a' (writing only) or 'a+' (reading and writing) arguments ie: int fopen ("somefile.txt", "a");

"... * 'a' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. * 'a+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. ..."

When I use Javascript with PHP i run into one problem. When I get the data i need from the database it often has a lot of <br> and \n (new lines) in it. The <br> are no problem when converting a string to a Javascript string, but the \n are. The string has to be all in one line.

example: <? $temp = "here I am"; ?>

This is not working!! But this would :

<? $temp = "here I am"; ?>

Can you help me please?

thanks Jens

attached mail follows:

use nl2br() http://www.php.net/nl2br

or, alternatively, use a regex to strip out the newlines

hope this helps.

Hello, I have read http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php and did not find out a quick solution on how to set a cookie that will NEVER expires ?

Please try this: <? echo "996448234192168122"=="996448234192168125"; ?>

php 4.0.6, Debian Potatoe Linux.

Does this happen only on my computer?

you are right. <?php if (6448234192168122==6448234192168125) {

echo 'A' ;

} else { echo 'B' ; }

I tested with 99644xxx and 964xxxx It printed A. However, if you are down to 644xxx is prints B which is correct.

A couple of snippets from the PHP manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php: "The size of an integer is platform-dependent, although a maximum value of about two billion is the usual value (that's 32 bits signed)...If you specify a number beyond the bounds of the integer type, it will be interpreted as a float instead"

...and...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php "The size of a float is platform-dependent, although a maximum of ~1.8e308 with a precision of roughly 14 decimal digits is a common value...Never trust floating number results to the last digit, and never compare floating point numbers for equality. If you really need higher precision, you should use the arbitrary precision math functions or gmp functions instead."

Hi,

I am sure there is an easy way to do this...

But when my script is done doing whatever I want it to do - RATHER than print text and all to a page, I want the browser (within the same window) to go to a specific URL

Can this be done - let's say for example to: http://www.yahoo.com

Thanks!

I am new to MySql but wanting to use PHP to update and maintain a database. I thought I might use MySql.

I have installed MySql, and in PHP have created a database called 'mydir'. I am trying to find php functions to add new records/fields to the database, but all I can find are functions to query and get information from a database.

Can anyone help or point me into the direction.

Help me!

I'm working with sessions and having some difficulty. I have my session_register(variable) at the top of page 1 and page 2.

I use the session_unregister(variable) at the bottom of page 2, everything seems to work fine at this point. The problem is,

sometimes the user needs to visit page 1 but doesn't nessessaraly have to visit page 2. I've noticed that my variable

sometimes contains values that are concatenated due to the fact that the user never reached the session_unregister(variable)

on page 2. What do I do? I can't unregister it at the bottom of page 1 or at the top of page 2 since I need to pass the value

of that variable to page 2. I tried to use the session_unregister right before the session_register at the top of page 1 but

that didn't work. The variable was still concatenated. What do I do?

Hi from a recent PHP convert,

Having a heck of a time declaring and accessing 2 dimensional info in an array. any input on where to start looking for the answer would be greatly appreciated.

I want to have a base array of 5 elements. The first 4 elements are variables, and the fifth is an array of 2 elements. seemed harmless enough at the time;)

Coding conventions suggest access to the first level of elements is: $basearray[base_numerical_offset][$basearray_variable] and this works great for accessing the first 4 elements of the base array.

Accessing the fifth elements' variables in the next dimension is where it fails for me: $basearray[base_numerical_offset][$subarray][sub_numerical_offset][$subarray_variable]

The documentation/snippets/samples, etc. have been to no avail; still can't get to elements in the second dimension properly. Attempts to populate the second level array trahses the entire structure.

I have the following declaration: $out => array($name, $srch, $sel, $case, $qvalues => array($vals, $valtypes); $out is the name of the base array $qvalues is the name of the sub-array under the base array "$out" I need for each $out array to consist of a name, srch, sel, case and then a variable number of qvalues array elements that each have single vals and valtypes elements.

Use the following snippet to see what happens; it's not what I had hoped to see. I hope I'm just doing something wrong..

Thanks, Ken. mailto:hoppyaustin.rr.com

$out = array($name, $srch, $sel, $case, $qvalues => array($vals, $valtypes)); echo "<pre>"; $out[0][$name] = "free"; $out[1][$name] = "next"; for ($i=0; $i<2; $i++) { echo "<br> OutIndex: ", $i, " Name: ", $out[$i][$name]; }

Hello,

I have created a predictionscompetition and some code counts te total score of a match of a person. On the screen it workes, but in de database it goes wrong. Each person gets the total of the last person. There must be something wrong with the update statement. I hope someone can help me.

Cheers, Martin.

$number = MYSQL_NUMROWS($result); $i = 0; WHILE ($i < $number): $naam = mysql_result($result,$i,"naam"); $uit_gr = mysql_result($result,$i,"uit_gr"); $uit_te = mysql_result($result,$i,"uit_te"); $ru_gr = mysql_result($result,$i,"ru_gr"); $ru_te = mysql_result($result,$i,"ru_te"); $minuut = mysql_result($result,$i,"minuut"); $toto = mysql_result($result,$i,"toto");

/* Count everything*/

$t01 = $u1+$r1+$b1+$m1+$t1; $sqlb = "UPDATE voorspelling1 SET totaal='$t01' WHERE id_voorspelling = '$id_voorspelling'"; $resultb = mysql_query($sqlb); PRINT "$naam $uit_gr $uit_te $u1 $r1 $b1 $m1 $t1 $t01<BR>"; PRINT "$t1<BR>"; $i++; ENDWHILE;

So $t01 is PRINTed correctly but is incorrect in the database? Check mysql_affected_rows() after the query is run to see if any changes were made to the databse. The only potential problems I see off the top of my head are the single quotes around $t01 and $voorspelling in the query. If either of those are numeric values, then you must omit the single quotes. Hope this helps...

Say I have a large php script that first verifies a login, then allows templates for INSERTING, UPDATING, & DELETING various records-- I need to have separate templates load for each set of steps, but I only have the vaguest of ideas as to how I can activate the CASE required just by using links/submits (the biggest issue being that vars have to pass through various parts). For security reasons, GET isn't really an option.

Ok,

I know most of you integrate your code into some for of e-commerce to accept credit cards. I want to know what your favorite credit card gateway (authorization) provider is.

Preferably, I am looking for a gateway that allows you to connect to their server directly through the code, via sockets, as opposed to posting data a URL and receiving the response on another script.

However, if there is a solution to those types of gateways (that do redirect back to a script after authorization) to get around that and communicate directly with the gateways code from the SSL URL without having to do that redirect BS, that would be great too. I am thinking this could possibly be obtained using CURL from inside the code?

Basically, let me know what your favorite company is to accept credit cards, as seemless as possible with your PHP code. And, hopefully it isn't any that require the actual browser to send data anywhere else outside my site (i want my code to handle it all behind the scenes).

Thanks!!!

I'm trying to develop an application that uses "search engine friendly" URLs, by reading everything after test.php as the variables necessary to display the requested dynamic content. I'm encountering the following strange results with $PATH_INFO.

Scenario 1: Running Apache 1.3.20 (SAPI) on WIN2K with PHP 4.0.6.

Calling test.php/foo/bar with the contents: <? phpinfo(); ?>

Produces the result (among everything else): HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_INFO"]: /foo/bar

However, an <? echo "Path info: $PATH_INFO"; ?> produces an empty result. Same with $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["PATH_INFO"].

Scenario 2 (a & b): Running a) Apache 1.3.12 on WIN2K w/ PHP 4.0.6 (cgi binary) or b) Apache 1.3.12 on Linux with PHP 4.0.4pl1 (cgi binary)

Produces a 500 internal server error.

{more code]

$string=substr($string,x,y);

on and on, but string always representing the same data just in a different format or a diffect section of the data.

odd question, but if variables are stored in memory until the script terminates, that includes old unused variable, isn’t it more efficient, memory wise, to reuse old variables that reference, in effect the same basic data, rather than create new or additional variables

Hi,

I'm writing a web survey in php and trying to set session timeouts. I have a main script that starts the session and displays the pages. Is there a way I can make the session timeout if they idle for too long?

Thanks,

Nigel

attached mail follows:

my favorite way "to session" people is by sticking an MD5 hash string to every browser (except the once having it already) as a cookie valid for the next 32 years or so. Then I log their actions in a database. This way I can practically do any kind of checks as long as user accepts cookies, otherwise I would issue them a static GET variable sticking to every URL.

So, answering your question: - YES. If you would be sessioning users in the same way as I do, you would be able to log them in a db with a time stamp and check against it on every request - "your own clock is the best clock".

Besides that, you can also keep setting cookies for a limited amount of time and then check if the variable exists or not (expired and thus not sent) - a silly traditional method, but works.

Sessions also have their own customizable lifetime. Which works in the exactly same way as cookies do. read on php.net/sessions

Check the php.ini file, it has some settings to set the session timeout.

Other than that, on each page view I write a variable to a session file so that I know which sessions truely are active. I use the session deletion script from http://database.sf.net to make sure any sessions older than X seconds are removed by the script run through crontab.

ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1040 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1837 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1839 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1841 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1844 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1846 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:1848 ESTABLISHED TCP dell:3306 javascript-of-unknown-origin.netscape.com:2501

As you can see, there are multiple strange connections to the SQL port. I cant locate whats causing all these connections but I'm certain it has something to do with the persistant connection.

This leads to a huge burden on my computer and I think it runs out of connections cause every 10 mins or so Apache says it cannot connect to the SQL server and I have to restart the Apache service to get it going.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Marc.

P.s. I am in the process of d/l the latest mySQL but I have little faith in this problem being fixed in it.

How about, send us your ./configure line and we might be able to tell what's wrong with it instead of guessing?

This information is output in the phpInfo() output.

I have done something like this. For the site I am working on, the user must log on. At the logon screen I check

if(getenv("HTTPS")!="on") { header ("Location: https://logon_screen"); }

every page has an include that checks $HTTPS as part of the sessions and validation. If https!="on" then it kicks you back to the logon screen.

you could do the same using

if(getenv("HTTPS")!="on") { header ("Location: https://$SERVER_NAME/$PHP_SELF"); }

I think

Don't know if that's what you're after, but it's what I've done and I have a high index of suspicion that it is working...

You'll want an ereg_replace:

// Strip all invalid characters from the username $username = ereg_replace("[^0-9A-Za-z]", "", $username);

or:

// Detect invalid characters in the username if (ereg("[^0-9A-Za-z]", $username)) { echo "Username contains invalid characters."; }

<? srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000); while (count($selectednumbers) < 5) { $randomnumber = rand(1, 200);

if (!in_array($randomnumber, $selectednumbers)) { $selectednumbers[] = $randomnumber; } }

//$selectednumbers is now an array with 5 items between 1 and 200. ?>

This should work well enough to give you the general idea ... sorry if it doesn't, I grabbed some old code and modified it so I didn't embarrass myself too much by posting spaghetti code. :)

Jason gave you a better way to do so, but if you want a "readable one", then this code might work for you:

function get_rand_array($from=0, $to=0, $keys=0) { $rand = Array(); if(!$keys) Return $rand;

if($keys>=($to-$from)) { Return $rand; // Doesn't make much sense, does it? }

while(True) { $tmp_num = rand($from, $to); if($keys>sizeof($rand)) { if(!in_array($tmp_num, $rand)) $rand[] = $tmp_num; } else Break; }

Return $rand; }

$random_array = get_rand_array(1, 200, 5);

echo '<PRE>'; print_r($random_array); echo '</PRE>';

All,

After a frantic week of development and digging into the bowels of the PHP scripting engine, I've produced an initial version of a run time accelerator. This works for Linux only, and the current version was built with RedHat 7.0.1, PHP 4.0.6, and Apache 1.3.12 and 1.3.20. This is a shared library extension to the Zend engine with a one line config entry to the php.ini file to enable it.

I put together a site this evening with some notes, a few performance indications, and the downloads at http://212.67.208.211 It is currently far from optimal, but it halved the processing time of the index.php file on that site for example so it's working in the right direction :-)

I started this basically because I wanted it to speed up my own site code, but then thought that every one (well, us Linux users anyway), should be able to have it too. As I say on the site, this may not work 100% reliably yet, and it's only a week old, but now passes all my tests and some complex scripts, so is well on the way.

I welcome any feedback.

Nick

Hi. Yes, it caches the result of compiling scripts and loads the compiled code on subsequent runs, thus bypassing the parsing of source code entirely - unless the source code has changed and the compiled code is stale.

Right, and neither is the accelerator at the moment, and it may very well never be, although there's no particular reason for that. But the scripting engine is as it's part of PHP, and that's what I explored in order to write the accelerator.

And now that I've studied the engine pretty intensely I've a good idea for some of the optimisations that their optimiser is probably having a go at. It's been a few fun, late nigh, and at times intensely frustrating, evenings, but I'm happy with even the sub-optimal current performance gains.

attached mail follows:

STOP asking this question again and again.

attached mail follows:

I have been playing with the idea of making some application backend services using pcntl (for singaling and fork)+ sysvsem's (for synchronisation).

However while reading thru the sysvsem source code, i noticed the behaviour of the semaphores in PHP is basicly as a 'lock' (as one would use a file lock w/ flock()). From what i understand from my advanced unix programming book, and the linux man pages, this is not what semaphores are supposed to be (though they can be abused to be so).

The way one would -expect- semaphores to function on a unix platform is best described in "Linux Programmers Guide" at http://uiarchive.uiuc.edu/mirrors/ftp/ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/programmers-guide/lpg-0.4.pdf (page 46 and on).

A short sumary would be: a semaphore is a resource counter (not an absolute lock).

The main this is that a process other then the process that acquired the semaphore can decrease the semaphore count, thus releasing it for another client. Another big difference is that a process can set the semaphore count lower then zero (0 == locked). This sometimes can be usefull for Client / Server synchonisation.

Example usage for a typical Client / Server program flow using semaphores / signals :

Server : create sem sem acquire setup envirioment fork children

Multiple Clients: repeat (wait for sem acquire) { send signal to Server communicate with server, get 'buffer' process buffer }

Server:

while (Fill data into buffer) { semaphore release (!); Sleep(infinite or untill time out); }

-> Sleeps untill interupted by signal (signal send by Client/Child) -> In signal handler: Send 'buffer' to client that acquired semaphore return; will cause the program to go back to main loop, sleep was interupted, so goes to while (fill buffer) again. Also note that the Client -never- calls semaphore release. The server does that once the resource is available again.

Rinse and Repeat till end of time, or end of data :-) This will distribute the data to be processed over all the different clients (since semaphores guarantee a linear processing of clients, so all clients get there equal share).

Last, i don't see why the implimentation as exists, requires 3 semaphores. It all seems kinda kludgy and quick-hack for a specific project, and not 'sysv semaphores implimented in php'. (please forgive my rude assumptions)

Does the maintainer (Tom May) want to work on this, or anyone else? I'd be happy to help out, but my last C coding days are over 6 years behind me, so i don't feel very confident to lead this project.. So any/all help and/or comments would be apreciated.

Also i noticed a potential security hole in the exisiting source, at line 190 of sysvsem.c it uses

semget(key, 3, perm|IPC_CREATE);

However, perm is not zero'd to 7 bits before being used, thus allowing extra flags being added to the call, which presumably is unintentional, since it allows nasty flags to be passed to this call. perm is gotton from arg_perm, which is a lval. What i imagine you 'should' do is zero out all non-relivant bits, basicly AND perm with 0x777. this will clear all bits other then the (file style) permission flags.

This, ever so slightly adapted from the example in the docs for readdir, should do what you want

<?php $handle=opendir(’.’); // replace . with whatever while (false!==($file = readdir($handle))) { if ($file != "." && $file != "..") { echo "$file\n"; $file_ary[] = $file; //The extra bit:-) } } closedir($handle); ?>

The response you're replying to was a tad harsh, but this question is becoming a Frequently Asked Question and when it looks like the asker hasn't put in the least effort to do some research on their own (ie, go look at search engines, PHP websites, etc) then people do tend to get annoyed - the list is here for general help and discussion, not to hold people's hands when they don't even try.

I'd suggest your first stop should be the Manual, since it has entire sections dedicated to Flash, and then you should browse the list archives.
