Close- this is what actually worked-

header ("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");

But thanks- it got me on the right track, anyway (i wasn't aware server responses were sent from the header)

It doesn't log it in the error_log or send the 404 error page, but i have a custom error page- so i just include() it... works beautifully, and agents like wget understand there's nothing to grab.

... and how do you get the server to send a 404 error if the browser calls a page that doesn't exist with a suffix that is marked to be parsed by php?

Yes You can

header ("404 Not Found");

should work

How about limiting results?

eg limit the return page value after a certain number (say 10) to every 5 pages, then 50 pages a la google.

Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ..15 ..20 ..50 ..100

This can be done relatively easily

eg (untested)

for ($count=1;$count<=$pages;$count++) { // loop thru //set modifier for page display if ($count < 10) $iMod = 1; elseif ($count <50) $iMod = 5; else $iMod=50; if ($count % $iMod==0) //Are we on an exact iMod boundary? print "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?offset=$count\">$i</a>   \n"; }

Hi,

Thanks. Instead of using next and previous I am giving the page number at the bottom of the page (see lastminute.vvmm.net/nextweek.php). The problem is that if there are, say 35 pages, the page numbers go off the screen. This is the snippet:

if ($nopage>=$limit) {

echo ("<center><table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"> <tr> <td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"1\">Pagina</td>"); for($j=1; $j<=($nopage); $j++) { //$next = $limit*($j-1); $xi = ($j-1); echo("<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"1\"><a href=\"$PHP_SELF?npage=$xi\">[$page[$j]]</a></font> </td>");

} echo(" </tr> </table></center>"); }

Thats the standard, but because of the other systems involved in delivering msgs then I don't think it possible just to do that without the co-operation of a third party smsc.

for those who are interested there is a good wap/sms server, open source and generally funky.... kannel (kannel.3glabs.org)

It's all you need to server wap, but sms does requrie a contract (=cost money) with a service centre

Check that it is actually executable by the user that your webserver runs as.

Checking the output of exec might give some insight.

I figured out another way to solve this. But, I need to know the downside, if any.

I chmod the directory to 2777 and leave Apache as is. Obviously this opens the directory up to danger if someone hacks in.

Hey I did it. A special thanks goes out to Michael Kimsal for giving me the idea of output buffering. Here is the code I used. Hope this helps

ob_start(); // Start output bufering include ("$filename"); //$filename is the file you want to include $x = ob_get_contents(); //Set the contents of the output buffer to variable x ob_end_clean(); //Stop output buffering and flush its contents without giving output. If you want it to give out put change this line to ob_end_flush();

Once again thanks to everyone who helped :-)

> Why on earth would you prefer java servlets?

Hmm... Let's see;Java is a full-fledge, totally OOP and awesome programming language but not a scripting language. Speed (will be mentioning this later), having total control over whatever you want (exception handling, db pooling, caching, syncrhonization, threadding, etc. etc.), ease of use, etc. etc. I mean, come on;)

> veins as well), therefore its imho much easier > to do web programming with php.

That is what I saw, but as I said, I didn't see a lot of difference between perl and php, I mean, C++ and perl are very different, likewise java and perl or other languages, but PHP has a very similar syntax.

> FYI, JSP is the slowest to my knowledge.

The first request is slow since JSPs are compiled into servlets (java classes)... But, then it is not bad... In fact, I saw some comparisons showing that servlets are kicking ass! But, again, I mean, this all depends on how you design/configure the system, one simple example:java used to crap out (before 1.2, don't know the latest situation, but heard that it is better) after 40-50 threads per jvm, so if you have more than 40-50 concurrent requests, starting couple of servlet engines on different jvms and using apache dispatching improves the speed a lot! Likewise, tricks like using caching, staying away from classic traps (i.e. using StringBuffers instead of Strings when needed), minimizing garbage collection, etc. etc. Also, with the introduction of JIT and hotspot capable JREs, java is doing pretty well these days...You can check comparisons at rasin servlet engine page.

> No, its not available on Windows, but then > again, why on earth would you want to use Windows? ;)

Same here;) I am supposed to implement this sytem on windows 2000...But I totally agree! I would definitely prefer linux or other unix systems over windows...

If you really need > shm on windows, submit a patch, hint, its just a mmap() :)

Well, what I meant was something like ease of sharing data in java (using static variables) and dealing with synchronization is extremely easy in java... Also, FastCGI is not that hard as far as I could see, but I am not an expert in that area;)

> You can use Files or SHM management, or write > your own custom session backend using for example MySQL.

Using a database in the backhand is what huge sites are doing, but they have huge boxes to run these databases and very fast network infrastructure. Do you think overhead of serializing/de-serializing session for every request via the database is a lot? Files again is??? I don't know... As you specified SHM is not very nice either (dealing with synchronization might be messy).

> No. Its compile and execute everytime

??? Don't you think using perl and printing out html from the code is faster than this? I mean, parsing the whole html doesn't seem very good???Actually, this is what I was scared of. I mean, for example say you have an html that consists of blocks... Making every block an include is clean, but this time, php engine has to read all of these includes, and parse the html+php and compile/run php everytime a request is made??? I am not sure about this?

> Yes, but do you want your web designer going > through your perl code

Hmmm, good point, hehehehe...

Thanks a lot for your time and I appreciate your comments.

Actually, as far as I know, you can configure tomcat or other servlet engines to start multiple servlet engines (JVMs) and the dispatcher code makes sure that every user goes to the same JVM for subsequent requests. So, you can scale with this architecture...

Actually, I was asking the low-level information, I mean something like web server receives the request, hands this over to mod_php, that requests a thread from the worker threads, so on so forth...

Anyways, once again, thanks for your time... Baho.

That's exactly what it means. Apache on Unix is non-threaded.

Well, since there are no threads involved here there is no pool of worker threads or anything like that. You simply have a process that grabs a requests, branches off to mod_php/mod_perl and sends the result back.

I wouldn't say it was clean to split everything out into separate files. I tend to do something more like:

<? include 'logic.php' ?> <HTML> tags tags tags <? my_func() ?> More tags <? another_func() ?> More tags <? footer() ?>

ie. don't necessarily use 1 file per block, create functions that are defined in a single file and call those instead of including a new file. If you really do want to separate it, have a look at a cacheing templating system like Smarty which lets you keep this per-file separation but it caches the combined logic.

How do you echo your html, do you put the html in your functions and escape the double quotes? There is some extra load there echoing all the html?

Thanks.

echo HTML? I do this:

<? php stuff..?> HTML stuff <? more php stuff ?>

I drop out of PHP mode to display raw HTML. If I have a lot of HTML with a lot of PHP variables tossed in, I do:

<? $test = 'test'; $one = 'one'; echo <<<EOF This is a $test. And here is another $one. EOF; ..more php code... ?>

Or sometimes simply:

HTML stuff <?=$variable?> and some more HTML stuff.

A web server program is running in my office.

Much as I don't like to defend MS, I'll take a stab here.

By 40-50 people in an office, I presume you're talking about an intranet of some type - 40-50 aren't constantly hitting it (meaning 40-50 requests per second all the time), but 40-50 are using it throughout the day for various tasks.

You don't give the machine specs, but I'd hazard to say, if it's moderate equipment, that there's some DB optimization (or VB optimization) that could be done. 40 people lightly hitting a machine shouldn't cause much of a problem regardless of language used, unless there's some extremely bad coding going on.

Are you closing DB connections? Are you avoiding putting objects in session and/or application scope? Are the DB queries optimized properly (proper indices on tables, etc)?

Those are just a few things I'd look for. Yeah it'd be great to have you switch to PHP, but some optimization issues are universal, and if it's written poorly in one language, chances are it'll be written poorly in another.

Regardless of this, we still recommened PHP to most clients because of the cost issue as well. However, since you've already paid for this software you're running (right?) it's probably worth it to take a while to optimize what you've got first.

I would agree that the DB is probably the biggest bottleneck...

Are you connecting to the DB via ODBC? I'm not an expert at DB stuff outside of the MySQL realm, but I've heard many say ODBC is horribly slow. I don't know ASP that well, but could someone comment on ADODB? It uses OLEDB, not ODBC, correct? I've read that OLEDB is much faster.

First and foremost, as Michael said, optimize your SQL... That's the first thing I'd do... Then, check and see how you are connecting to the DB...

I think I can safely say, that if you switch to PHP/MySQL, that using MySQL native libs to connect to the database are fastest... But I have been wrong in the past...

It may not be a performance thing based on software in use, it could be coding problems with the current software.

If you are having problems with 40 - 50 users, you may want to look at where things are locking up. Table locking because of badly designed update queries can freeze a good system because of contentions.

How do you handle concurrent locking - what does your code look like for the initial 20 seconds to load page / slow loading pages?

Run some performance monitoring on sql server, it has good tools for this, as does win2k.

How much ram do you have? sql server eats ram. (buy more, depending on whether your monitoring tells you its needed - look at paging). There are lots of nt tuning faq's out there. Check what you have before dumping it for something else.

I learnt from someone once its better to find out and understand the problem than to avoid it. It may come back and bite you.

That said, php is more scalable than vb (flamebait), but its equally easy to write bad code in both. SQL Server is a bit of a behemoth, but feed it nicely (ram), and it generally behaves (*unless you are russian nuclear materials database admins - see slashdot for more.)

First, using split() on such a simple delimiter is a waste. Use explode(). And yes, PHP does not support automatic dereferencing of returned arrays like that.

I try to avoid having my functions generate HTML. But yes, when they do I use the same approach. You can have functions that look like this:

<? function foo() {?> HTML Stuff <? } ?>

That is, a function that does nothing but output HTML.

Zope is very good but badly documented. The other things to consider is hosting, which is relatively expensive as there are not that many people who do it. Also the fact that you will have to learn python (which is not a major issue but is probably a much higher learning code than PHP) is something to consider.

I started developing an e-commerce site in Zope but switched to PHP because the lack of documentation was driving me nuts. This is a particular problem because zope is far from a traditional language. Its bad enough trying to get your head round a new paradigm when the documentation is good!

Simple answer: $HTTP_REFERER

Complicated answer: You can't. Not reliably, anyway.

You have two ways:

1)Recompile PHP (as it comes with source code) and put your decryption functions just after the reading of the .PHP and before getting it parsed.

2)If you want to do a windows solution w/o modifying source code then you have to hack into the PHP code and add your new functions: The idea is to set a hook on the CreateFileA() and ReadFileA() windows APIs and replace them with our new functions that only decrypts PHP files (in memory) and them returns them to PHP.

Very simple,

you can use functions like this to copy file from an HTTP server to your local harddrive: function my_copyfile($src, $dest) { if (!$fp = fopen($src, "rb")) return; $fpo = fopen($dest, "wb"); while (!feof($fp)) { $t = fread($fp, 4096); fwrite($fpo, $t, 4096); } fclose($fp); fclose($fpo); }

in combination with the use of RegExps to parse HTML pages and extract the filenames that you want to extract....

Check if the browser transmit the Session ID in the first http connection, and if the SID transmitted in https is equal to the SID transmitted in http... it's possible that turning https to http cause that php think that it's another domain...

Look at the settings in php.ini or use ini_alter function...

i don't know if it will work, but try to use x[rec_pd4][] as select name and remember that x[rec_pd4] will result as an array, not a string!! instead of ==, you can use the in_array function to check if a value is in the array...

Make it an array:

<input type="radio" name="radios[]" value="1">One <input type="radio" name="radios[]" value="2">Two

In your PHP script, you can then easily parse the $radios array.

I meant I improved my own versions, not you're version. That's why you can't find the improvement on you're code. If that's what you meant...

Not realy any kind of club... just lazy typing; RE stands for Regular Expression.
