Here's a snippet of code from a site I built. It shoud be enough code for you to accomplish what you want without really having to understand it. I suggest taking the time to understand it though. If you're curious what it looks like in action here's one of the pages generated from the full script that the code below was pulled from. http://www.tysonchandler.com/news_3.html (that's an underscore, not a space).
$sql = "SELECT * "; $sql .= "FROM articles "; $sql .= "WHERE active = 1 "; $sql .= "ORDER BY article_date DESC, article_source ASC ";
$result = mysql_query( $sql, $GLOBALS['handle'] ) or die( 'No records.' ); $num_records = mysql_num_rows( $result );
$limit_rows = 8; $pages = ceil( $num_records / $limit_rows );
if ( empty( $page ) ) { $page = 1; $limit_start = 0; } else { $limit_start = ( $page - 1 ) * $limit_rows; }
$sql .= "LIMIT $limit_start, $limit_rows ";
$result = mysql_query( $sql, $GLOBALS['handle'] ) or die( 'No records.' );
$page_next = $page + 1; $page_prev = $page - 1;
if ( $page_prev >= 1 ) { $output .= ' <a href="/news_' . $page_prev . '.html'; $output .= '">Prev Page</a> |'; } else { $output .= " Prev Page |"; }

Is it just me or is this site blazingly fast? Are you using some cache-tricks or something? Or du you just have an over-powered under-loaded server?
I could use a bit of speed at my own site.. :-)

Subject: [PHP-DB] howw do I programm a PREV & Next mechanism in PHP?
Help Please!!
Hello!
I'm making a database wich can be viewed and modified through a webbrowser using PHP and MySQL.
I users wants to browse records from my (mysql) database, and the user can decide how many records he/she wants to see per page. There should be a Previous and a Next button on each page to brows through the records.
(This is a very common situation wich is for example used by search engines.)
My problem is, I really don't know how to make a Prev and Next system. I tried already a lot but it doesn't work.
Does somebody have a PHP script with this working and can you send it to
me please (or just the part with the prev/next meschanism)?
It would help me a lot!
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I have looked into the archives but im not sure what im searching for so I decided to ask here.
What I want to do is, on my FreeBSD box running PHP and MySQL, to have a system which will take any email sent to a specific address, and pipe the body of the email to PHP (or even to a perl script). Once I have the body of the email as a variable, I can do all my parsing and extracting etc to do with it as I need, but im baffled on where to start looking to get this done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Chris

What are you using for an MTA? If for example you are using sendmail, you can set up an alias, via an entry in /etc/aliases which pipes the incoming mail to a script, which could be a php script. Of course, you would need a php binary. Similarly you can set up an alias file with qmail which passes the email to a script.
This is a common technique for say creating web based mail list archives.

Most mail servers use qmail, so i will explain how to do it with qmail
For your qmail accounts, you will have .qmail files(e.g. .qmail-default
.qmail-webmaster and so on), open one of these files, now add the bottom of
it |preline /path/to/php /path/to/script.php or you can do it with perl the
same way, but with your path to perl, The email its self will be stored in
stdin, if you want ot read it in php you can just go fopen("php://stdin",
"r"); if you want to use it in perl, just do stdinarray=<stdin>; it's an
array, make sure to chomp() your results, from there you can prase the
email, and check who it is, reply the the email, delete the email from the
mailbox, what ever you want... :D

Thanks for the help & tips. I guess I'll use ".inc" for files that are included (as opposed to being run directly) and block access to them at the server level. Hmm, since the directory always has an index.html, clients will never see the filename anyway and could only run it by guessing at the name, so it's a small point.

I have a file containing ~100 lines of text, each perhaps 100-200 characters in length. I need to retrieve line $n from the file, where: $n = $julianday % $nlines;
$julianday = today's date (from localtime[7]) $nlines = no. of lines in the file
Method A 0. fopen() the file 1. read the file line by line with fgets() and count the lines ($nlines) 2. compute the required entry: $n=$julianday % $nline 3. rewind() the file and read it again until entry $n is found 4. fclose() the file
Method B 1. read the entire file into memory: $lines=file("myfile") 2. compute the required entry: $n=$julianday % count($lines)
I appreciate that this depends on the no. of lines in the file and the size of the file. What I'm looking for is opinions on whether the use of file() is more efficient than fgets(). It needs more memory, but it eliminates reading the file twice.
Thanks.

Unless you are on a super busy page on a super high-volume server, just file() it.
If you're on a super busy page on a super high-volume server, file() it anyway, and then ap benchmark it to see if it's "slim enough" -- And if not, profile it to be sure it's the file() that's killing you, not something else.

Today, I upgraded our development web server from PHP 4.02 to 4.06.
the exact configure string was:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib --enable-versioning --with-ldap=/usr/local
None of the support files (apache, mysql, mcrypt, openldap) were changed only the php tarball from their website.
Now I have this interesting problem:
the source: <? require("templates/virt_cust.inc") or error("Fatal Error");
produces this error message: Fatal error: Failed opening required '1' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/httpd/html/distsupp/templates/virt_cust_form.php on line 2
The file is there and it works fine when I remove the "or error(..." code from the end of line 2. It appears that adding this code causes require() to interpret the file name as a boolean TRUE.
This problem did not happen with 4.02.
Does anyone know of a configuration option or anything I can correct to make this syntax work again with 4.06?
attached mail follows:
Require is not a function.
It's a language construct.
As such, it has never had a defined return value.
You can try include instead, just for fun, but you'd be better off to code it cleaner and check something that virt_cust.inc does or sets and erroring out if that didn't happen.
require 'template/virt_cust.inc'; if (isset($customer)) error("Fatal Error");

You'll probably be surprised to know that the server is a Cobalt RaQ4, marketed by Sun as a "server appliance". The box has a 450 mHz processor and 1/2 GB of RAM. It's hardly a cutting edge server in terms of processor speed, though I've been fairly pleased with the RaQ line since its inception and continue to work with them heavily since I do a fair amount of server administration and application development for hosting companies and other businesses running RaQs. The perceived speed is partly due to the fact that the box operates under a modest load, is in a data center with good connectivity and your browser likely caches the images which are shared among all pages. There is no server-side caching. All of the content on it is generated dynamically, though I could easily create static pages for that particular site. I'm also a big fan of controlling related web pages from a single PHP script by configuring Apache to point requests to this script using the AliasMatch directive so that the end user and search engines thinks the content is static and the URLs don't get cluttered with ugly query strings. However that doesn't improve speed, it actually degrades it.
Hope that helps,

Bottom line: Unless you go hard-core with suexec, anything you set up can be figured out and potentially abused by any fellow users on the ISP.

I just sent an email just before reading this, to the developers I report to. I suggested that we take out the nice little feature I worked so hard on. I dont think it would be benificial to people Im writing it for, if it doesn't work for a great number of people who have their websites on a shared server.

It is just you and some other people similar to you. Thought this question was up for a while :-)

Is it really true? I always though it wasn't. AFAIN: Long time ago require() was working this way. But now, require() and include() are the same. Loaded only when needed.

Well, it has it's pluses and it's minuses, it is extendable, though OOD works a little different in it. But hey, it compiles on the fly, remember? That's a plus for developers, especially newbies.

OK, true. But, this is necessary if you want PHP to automatically connect to different DBs. A plus to portability and a minus to... (to what?)

That is why Sascha Sunmann wrote PHPLIB and (Stig?) Bakken created PEAR (released with every PHP distribution, btw - just waiting for you to use it)
phplib.netuse.de php.net/pear

This is outdated. Look int othe archives - I had this discussion with Zeev close to a year ago - since PHP 4.0.(something) require and include behaves in the exactly same way.
Test it yourself on the latest release of PHP:
require.test.php ---- <?
echo 'included?';
if($go) require 'require.error.test';
?> ----
require.error.test ---- <?
echo '<H1>yup!</H1>';
parse error;
?> ----
Access it with: 1. require.test.php?go=e
And then try it with: 2. require.test.php

What is the best way to change linux passwords using a web .PHP interface? I currently allow FTP access to php enabled webhosting sites; which use safe mode, thus use real linux accounts.
Thus far I thought I would:
Write a real short C program which would call allow to go setpasswd <username> <passwd> passwd could perhaps be the crypt() version to provide better security? it would just call passwd, and ensure that username is not 'root' and a few other accounts ;)
Then I would put that program within the directory of executables allowed in safe mode. And just have a plain http post form to update the password, running over HTTPS.
Does this seem a good plan ... or are there better?
It also begs the question; how do I authenticate an account using php ... to login to their 'change password' feature? I have already spent alot of time trying to merge password files for different uses; Windows shares, Linux ones, for samba, and this and that, so it'd be nice to now have yet another passwd file :)

-- Sigurd Magnusson Director www.totallydigital.co.nz
attached mail follows:
First off, if you don't already know, the linux passwords are stored in the /etc/passwd file (unless you have a shadow suite installed, in which case /etc/shadow would be a good bet.) Basing this on a shadow file, the file is a text document with one user per line. The entries are stored in the following format: username:passwd:last:may:must:warn:expire:disable:reserved. All you really need for changing the password is the passwd section, although the other sections could be useful.
The password is not stored as plaintext, has been crypted (may be a new word...). Now, if you aren't familier with crypt, it is based on the DES, which is a symetrical algorithm. The password (called salt in this case) is a two character string chosen from [a-zA-Z0-9./]. This means there are (getting calculator out...) ((2)26+10+2)squared=4096 possible versions of the string.
Now I don't know if a different salt is used for each user or if it is uniform throughout. I'll put together a script that crypts my password with every salt string possible and checks it against my shadow file, then tries that salt with other passwords on my box. Fun project.
So basically, you would have to find the correct salt, crypt the new password, then use PHP's file functions to manipulate the passwd/shadow file- which brings up yet another problem- security. Do you really want to give PHP access to your passwd/shadow file??? Also, if I were you I would verify their old password too... just in case bob tries to change sue's password.
If anything in here is outdated or just plain wrong please tell me.

Hmmm mandrake 8 uses a different algorithm... not md5... outputs 34 characters, $ and / included (i think DES outputs alpha-numeric only. not sure though). I sent an e-mail to a mandrake mailing list, until then here's what I wrote before I actually looked at my /etc/shadow file. Should work for other distros...

---You might be interested in this too:
Copied from http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php
If you do virutal hosting, you can turn safe mode on and off for different Apache Virutal Hosts using the php_admin_value directive. This also allows you to have customised maximum execution times, disabled functions, etc. By placeing a base_dir for each virutal host, this means PHP CANNOT access files below this heirachy; strongly recoomended for cutsomer hosting.
Eg:
[VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80] DocumentRoot /var/www/html/safephphost/ ServerName safephp php_admin_value safe_mode 1 php_admin_value open_base_dir /var/www/html/safephphost/ php_admin_value sendmail_from phobo#paradise.net.nz [/VirtualHost]

Perhaps if you show how you are doing this, it might be easier to help. Are you for instance using the return_var argument?
And in some cases, 0 is a valid return value; some programs may not return a value at all.

Exactly my thoughts but it seems we are more in the minority. My neighbor mentioned his girlfriend taking a web class and he complained that they use Notepad for their editing. "Who uses Notepad?", he asked. Yet he was suprised when she was showing him a thing or two. WYSIWYG editors are nice for general things like layout (I use Dreamweaver to help layout any table in a table stuff) but I haven't ran across a editor yet that makes solid code.

hi all,
I've been asked to do some work on some servers where php can only run as cgi. Unfortunately it seems that php has a bug which means that

Are there any workarounds for this? Is it fixed in the cvs versions?

I believe errno.h should be in one or more of these places where PHP can find it:
/usr/include /usr/src/linux-blah-blah-blah
Or, try this: updatedb <---- might take a while locate errno.h
Figure out why errno.h isn't where PHP expects it to be, and make it be there by copying it or creating a symlink (man ln)
Odds are good that if errno.h is missing, is every other .h file sitting next to it, so get them all in one go.

Not sure you can set it on a site-by-site basis or within Directory in httpd.conf or not though.

Did you spell apx like that or apxs like you should?...
You should have ended up with a libphp.so to throw into Apache's modules directory, not a binary for /usr/local/bin...
You needed that binary for cron scripts anyway, though :-)

It *should* be able to... That's the whole point of the darn things. :-)
Is 0x576a the correct key?... Sure PHP isn't treating that as a string or something?
