I would create an array of characters according to your definition of English characters, and then check to see if any of those characters are in the string.
But since the trend appears to be in moving toward Unicode, the "official" distinction of an English character vs any other language's character is becoming blurry -- at least in the field of information delivery.

Carlos,
I may misunderstand you but surely the easiest way to copy a file from one computer to another is by ftp? Log into a shell on computer 1, ftp to computer 2 and transfer whatever files you want. This may be by a simple script and does not need php (did I say that?).
On the other hand, php has ftp functions you can use to do it with php (assuming you compiled php with ftp).
HTH Regards

Recently I have caught on to XML, and I think it truly is a good idea. Because XML was *made* to store data I believe an XML flatfile database is (perhaps) one of the best ways to store data because it can be easily exchanged. Therefore I would like to embark on the feat of trying to create xml_db_lib, which (as the name suggests) will be a library of XML database functions. This includes everything from adding data, to querying the data. It would greatly help if anyone could point out a PHP application to me that uses a XML database so I can get a better idea of the inner workings of it, also if you have any suggestions I will gladly hear them...

Are you saying that when you are logged in as "nobody", you can execute "chown otheruser directoryname"? If that is so then PHP, which runs under Apache which runs as "nobody", should also be able to execute that command. But I wonder if you really can execute that command -- why would "nobody" have permission to change the ownership of a file to "otheruser"? I certainly hope that "nobody" doesn't have superuser privileges on your system.
Try using chgrp instead -- you can have "nobody" belong to group "otheruser" and change the group of the file to "otheruser".
NOTE: You're better off running Apache as some other username (like "apacheuser") and under some other group (like "apachegroup"). Several other systems run under "nobody" on most Unix systems, so you could compromise those if "nobody" is compromised.

Good day.
As you've probably surmised, chown needs to be run as the root user, even if the file or directory in question is owned by the user wanting to make the change.
Setting up sudo access should work properly. Ensure that the service is actually running as "nobody" and not another unprivileged user.
However, it should be mentioned that this is a very, very insecure method! The chown operator was designed more for PHP command-line scripts that would be run as another user. You may want to re-evaluate why you are changing ownerships of directories from a web page, and determine if there is a safer, more secure way of doing what you want.

Subject: [PHP] chown ..opperation not permitted
Hi all,
My config is Apache 1.3 with PhP4 loaded as a module.
I have a script which makes a directory. This directory is owned by nobody.nobody because that is what apache runs as. But, I want this directory to be owned by a differrent user. So, After making the directory i use the php command chown to change the directory ownership. Now, I get an error saying opperation not permitted.
I figured this is because of some security problems... So i try dropping in to the shell using teh backtick operator and by also setting up sudo to give access to the chown command to user nobody....this does not work from my php script BUT, it does work fine if i enter it on a shell line...
There must be a simple way that I can implement the chown function in php? Any ideas???

The 'chown' command can only be executed by the superuser.
The next question to ask is, why do you want this PHP-created directory to be owned by a different user?

So then your "chown" command's permissions do not allow "everyone" to execute it? If this is not the standard setup, so I would speak to your system administrator and find out why "chown" is not available. On most systems I've seen, chown is a standard utility that both its owner, members of its group, an everyone else on the system has access to. This means that "nobody" has access to it as well. Whether or not "nobody" has permission to change the ownership of a file to someone else is another matter entirely.

Yes, I wouldn't give "nobody" privileges to do anything with sudo. You're better off making "nobody" a member of the same group as the other user, and using chgrp.

He wants the third sunday in february which can't be handled by your code :) since the third sunday could fall on any number of days. The following isn't very optimal but will work (not syntax checked either).
$i = 1; while( $i++ <= 7 ) { // // First we find the first Sunday in February. // if( date( '%a', mktime( 0,0,0, 2,$i,2002 ) == 'Sun' ) { break; } }
return date( '%s-%m-%Y', mktime( 0,0,0, 2,($i + 14),2002 );
Generalization of the above is left to you as an exercise *grin*.

I have tried a few different methods to try and get this to work however I think I am missing something. All of the documentation I have read on php.net states that this string should work as is...

I hope I'm reading right... it seems you want to filter OUT files with the extension '_4444.jpg' the above check appears to be filtering out everything BUT these files. I think you want the following check:
if( $file_names != "." && $file_names !=".." && !eregi( '_[0-9]{4}\.jpg$', $file_name) )

Well, I love PHP, but this sounds more like a job for C/C++. The reason being is the socket support in C/C++ is way better than that found in PHP. Harder to code mind you, but better in the end.
Also, you might want to check out some exisiting applications that already do this sort of thing, there's no need in re-inventing the wheel. I use htdig and it works swell for small projects where you need to index a small to medium sized website for later searching.

I learned from the manual and coded up a quick page-reader/status checker using fopen and fread - and thought I was fairly clever for something so 'quick and dirty'. However perhaps this approach would not work if something a bit more 'demanding' was required. Please would you explain the advantage/necessity for using sockets (would appreciate pointers to any reading/tutorials).

Hi All
I was trying to write a PHP session and was confused whether to use session_register or $_SESSION. Anyone know when to use either of these? (Or an interpretation of the following line)?
Use of $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS with PHP 4.0.6 or less) is recommended for security and code readablity. With $_SESSION or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, there is no need to use session_register()/session_unregister()/session_is_registered() functions. Users can access session variable like a normal variable.

when I insert it into the database like: $query = "INSERT INTO $tablename4 VALUES ('0', '$entername', '$date', '$eventdate', '$eventheading', '$eventbody' )";
for the $eventdate variable the word "array" is inserted.

I've got the best one out there. Automatically determines the card type from the card number. Accurately checks cards from American Express, Australian BankCard, Carte Blache, Diners Club, Discover/Novus, JCB, MasterCard and Visa.

Hi, I am just not seeing what is wrong with my code.
Can anyone tell me if there is anything wrong with the following function?
function set_material_id($material_id) { if (!preg_match('/^\d{1,3}$/', $material_id)) { return false; } else { $this->ff_material_id = $material_id; } }
The value being passed to this function is "1" (contained in a POST form field named "ffmaterial0"), yet it is returning false. I have a test in my script that looks like this:
} elseif (!$ff_instance->set_material_id($_POST["ffmaterial{$ff_counter}"])) { die("set_material_id() method of \$ff_instance failed");
And I am getting the "die()" error message. $ff_counter is 0, the first iteration of a for loop.
Can anyone see a problem with this, or at least confirm that I'm not crazy?

Well you don't return true anywhere... default return is false which is what happens if the else statement is reached.

EUREKA! Thanks so much Rob! I too busy wondering how the preg_match was failing to notice that I didn't even have a return true!

It may just be the way you typed it in the email but your "products.php?tosend = 1" has spaces in it. This will truncate the tosend parameter and give it a null value.

You can't use PHP to change the content of an existing frame. You can use Javascript, but it gets ugly real fast.
So you will need to regenerate *all* the frames with each request. This requires maintaining state across the frameset and the child frames. You could do that either by embedding a GET string in the URL of the frame pages, or using cookies. I prefer the GET option as it works for all users.

So, that $14.95/year he saves on his own domain name is split between, what, 10 clients and each one is saving $1.50/year? Wow! That's over 10 cents per month he's saving his clients!.
Maybe he should get rid of the phone lines too - that would save even MORE money, and mean even CHEAPER prices for people! There's no end to how much money he can save us!

gd is the correct tool for your job. But there are some caveats.
You will need to be using gd-2.0 or better to get satisfactory results for this sort of work. gd-2.0.1 supports: bicubic interpolation for scaling images 24-bit (true colour) images
Make sure your images aren't being converted to 8-bit at any stage of the scaling/cropping process. Use ImageCreateTrueColor to create images.
Oh, and there's a bug in either php-4.1.2 or gd-2.0.1 where scaling and cropping with one operation using imagecopyresampled fails. I use a work-around of cropping with imagecopyresized and then scaling with imagecopyresampled.
The large file sizes could be improved by reducing the quality of the JPEG compression. Also, once the images have been scaled smoothly, there will be fewer sharp edges allowing JPEG compression to be more efficient.

Hi, I am using the example code at php.net to FTP a file to a remote server.

Thanks Kevin, someone else suggested using global variable too. I didn't want to do that but I think this is the only way around it.
So if I use a global variable called $row_number and $row_number++ as I print out each row then if two people are viewing the page, there would be two $row_number variables keeping track of the running total for their respectively page, right?

Hi AJ, very interesting way of displaying a folder tree. Never thought of it that way. The problem I see is that you are limited to the depth of the tree because you can't just keep adding a new folder number to the end of the path. And the total number of folders is limited by the number of digits you assign per level. Also why are you using a hex?

It is possible to get all of your folders in a single query if you add a field to your database table that encodes the folder hierarchy positions.
Example:
id path name == ========= ======= 1 1 Home 2 12 Products 3 123 Fruits 4 124 Vegetables 5 1235 Apples
Here we encode the path using one digit per hierarchy level. The path encoding for any folder equals the path encoding of its parent plus the encoding of its id.
If the digits are hex, then this works as long as there are no more than 16 elements in any level of the hierarchy. If you need more, you can use multiple digits per level. I use 8 hex digits to encode 4 byte int's at each level. You would have shorter path names using base 60.
In PostgreSQL, to get the Products directory and all its subdirectories, in order, use:
$root = "12";
$result = pg_exex( $db, "SELECT * FROM folders WHERE path LIKE '{$root}%' ORDER BY path ASC");
Sorry, I don't know MySQL, but all you need to know here is that the '%' char above is a wild card character, like '*' on the command line.
Now you can iterate over the records stored in result. They are in the proper order. The level of any record is the length of the path string divided by the number of digits per level.
Hope this helps.

I think your best (if not the only) option in PHP is Metabase.
http://www.phpclasses.org/metabase
This is a PHP databases abstraction focused on application portability. AFAIK, it is the only one that provide complete and true data type abstraction. This means that for instance if you have to deal with dates in your application, Metabase assures that you only have to deal with a single date format (ISO 9601 - YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS) even if the underlying databases use other formats. So, when you switch to a different database, you do not have to touch a single thing in your application other that the choice of database type option.
Metabase goes farther, it also abstracts database schema installation and maintenance. This means that it provides a way to describe a schema of database tables, fields, indexes and sequences using a simple XML syntax. Then the Metabase manager class will install it for you in the target database that you use. If you move to another database, Metabase can export the database contents in the same XML format and then you may reinstall the schema in the new database type without loosing information.
Here it is an example of a Metabase schema:

http://www.phpclasses.org/metabase
<snip spam>
you could also use PEAR (http://pear.php.net/) which has a more than adequate abstraction layer for various databases.
But, I doubt even metabase can rewrite your SQL queries for you so that it's optimized for postgres AND mysql (and any other option you would like to choose).
you're much better off either picking one DB system, or use both but maintain seperate SQL for each, to provide full optimization.

PEAR does not offer a good means of writing portable database applications because it does not have data type abstraction support.
This is important because different databases represent data types differently. For instance, Oracle, unlike other databases, does not have individual time and date field types, only a single type that represents both a full timestamp with time and date. This means that if you just want to store a date on the field you have to use the whole timestamp field and discard the time part. Metabase handles that for you. PEAR does not provide any support for this level of database portability.
I think this is an important point to mention about this limitatation of PEAR because I noticed that a lot of people that use PEAR did not know about it because they develop applications that only deal with text and integers that need little or no conversion, besides any eventual quoting.
As soon they need to use other data types like date and time, when they need to run their applications in different databases, they realize that PEAR was not a good idea because, unlike Metabase, it doesn't handle datatype representation format differences.
This may not be a problem for you James, but it is a problem for a lot of database developers that really care about portability because it costs a lot of time and money to maintain the applications that need to work with different databases if you have to tweak your application to handle the differences of the databases.
This is the main reason why Java JDBC provide such an high level of database application portability, that in the PHP world only has parallel with Metabase.
> But, I doubt even metabase can rewrite your SQL queries for you so that it's > optimized for postgres AND mysql (and any other option you would like to > choose).
Metabase does not rewrite queries. You need to know Metabase better. It just converts datatypes of between a database independent format that applications use and the native database datatype format, if and when the develop wants that.

Being completely new to PHP I went to this site for help on how to print reports. Thanks for all the ideas.
I guess being a newbe, I was wondering if this is kind of the standard way most of you do all your reporting.
Based on all the help I got, I did the following: 1. Wrote a report writer with multiple header breaks, multiple total breaks. Selection of data in the detail , headers, and totals. Selection of 5 sort orders, and join selections. They select who gets copies of the report (up to 100 in the selection). 3. They give the report a name, and can execute it anytime. Or it can be fired with date triggers defined in item 1. Like every Friday at 10AM. etc. 4. I wrote a report file system. When a report fires it shows up in your IN-BASKET. When you delete it it goes to the Waste-Basket for 10 days. The file has the name of the report, number of lines, number of pages, who owns the report, when run and any comments set up in the report definition in item 1. 5. All reports run on the server, so they are fast. The report is stored in mySQL only once and everyone who gets the report has their IN-BASKET point to it. 6. Anyone can file the report or copy the report to multiple files or mail it to anyone. For example file a report from IN-BASKET to the Daily-Log file etc. The mail basically creates another entry in the recipient's IN-BASKET. 7. If you view a report it brings up as many pages at a time as you want (default is 5). you can move from page to page with arrows, or bring up the another section, or the whole report. You can print the report.
I know this is a fairly simple reporting system. Just wondering if I'm on the right track.
Thanks again for all the help..

First of all, if the page is called using a form the POST variables are not posted. Secondly, included files do not seem to be able to access global variables in the same way.

Probably the fastest way to keep session profile information is by serializing the data array into a string that will be encrypted and then stored in cookie. The security weakness of this method is that if the secret key leaks, hackers may use to forge new sessions.
A more secure but eventually less scalable method is to store the session data in a shared memory cache, so you minimize database accesses to just one after the server is restarted. This is probably the one you want to use as long you know how to deal with shared memory and semaphores.

My understanding was that htaccess authentication was more secure that session based because of the porblems of session hijacking???

Yes, but where I know I can't tell you because it is part of a proprietary system. Maybe somebody else did it like this and documented somewhere but I have no knowledge of that. Anyway what part didn't you understand?

I guess you mean HTTP based authentication. No, AFAIK that is very unsecure because you can't end a "session" because browsers cache authenticated passwords and only drop them (of they do, IE may not do it) when you quit your browser. If you leave your browser terminal for some time, somebody may come in and take advantage of your account privileges.

PHPLIB has session management via shared memory. I believe it's a little flaky, but certainly a good start.

I think I understand all of it. Serialization of a session (or session object) is fairly straightforward and I know how to store that in a cookie. I was just hoping there was a "cookbook" out there. Don't have any classes on your site that do this do you? ;-)

The physical security of the users machine is their responsibility. I'm looking for good security, ease of implementation, and scalability.
At the moment it seems to be a case of "pick any two".

I'm successfully able to retrieve and display information for year='1991'. It works great. However, if I replace '1991' with any other year that I KNOW there's a matching record for, I get no results. So if I were to replace year='1991' with year='1990', no results would be produced although the same query given directly in MySQL will give results. Make sense? This same problem happens with other fields too, it seems really selective. I can use WHERE color='red' and get results, but color='black' returns nothing, although there are matching records. Taking out the WHERE in the above code will return all but the first record in the table. I fixed that just by putting a dummy record first, but that still shouldn't be happening.
Any ideas? I need to get this fixed but I'm not sure what's wrong!

What is that line above for? It's probably swallowing your first record. Get rid of it. > // while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
Use this to avail yourself of extract correctly while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { extract($row); // Not needed with extract $generation = $row->generation; // Not needed with extract $year = $row->year; // Not needed with extract $owner = $row->owner; // Not needed with extract $email = $row->email; // Not needed with extract $pic1 = $row->pic1; // Not needed with extract $tmb1 = $row->tmb1; > printf("<img src='%s'><br>", $pic1); > printf("<small>%s</small><br>",$generation); > printf("<b>%s</b><br>",$year); > printf("%s<br>",$owner); > printf("<a href=mailto:'%s'>%s</a><p>", $email, $email); > printf("<a href='%s'><img src='%s' border=0></a><p>", $pic1, $tmb1); > } > > /* Free resultset */ > mysql_free_result($result); > > /* Closing connection */ > mysql_close($link); > ?> > > I'm successfully able to retrieve and display information for year='1991'. > It works great.

Try the mods above; make sure that you quote the year value if the year field is text, and perhaps stick in a mysql_error after your query to see if any eror is coming back from mysql.
Is there any chance that you have stray white space in your year fields? If year is a char type and SELECT * FROM cars WHERE year LIKE '%1990%' works, you likely have stray junk in your db.

Let's say I a variable called $var1 and it's values is "one"
...I want to access them by doing something like this...
$i = 1; if ("var".$i == "one") echo "Hello!";
...I want the combination of "var" and $i to equal $var1
How do I do this?? The code I just wrote will not print out "Hello!"
THANKS!!!!!!! Phil

You can use variable variable names by adding another '$'. so if $i == 1 and $var1 == "one", you can do this:
$var_name = "var".$i; if($$var_name == "one") echo "Hello!";
That should work, Justin

Hi all,
Currently i've got a config file for each website, and I split it into essentially two config files, based on the server name, so that I can have 1 file for both my local server and the live server.
something like:
<?
if($local)
{
$cfgAdminEmail = "justinindent.com.au";
$cfgReportErrors = 1;
$cfgSendMail = 0;
}
else
{
$cfgAdminEmail = "webmasterfoo.com";
$cfgReportErrors = 0;
$cfgSendMail = 1;
}
?>
But of course, there's more like 20 config elements. The small problem I'm having is making sure that I keep both halves (live and local) the same (but with different settings).
What i was hoping was that there may be a way of writing the config once, and having it work in both situations, perhaps with a switch, or with some other language construct I have no idea about:
I know this isn't the answer, but I was hoping for something like:
<?
$cfgAdminEmail = "justinindent.com.au|webmasterfoo.com";
$cfgReportErrors = "1|0;
$cfgSendMail = "0|1";
?>
Where both the options "local|live" were declared in one hit.
Whatever solution there is (arrays? switches?) it has to be easy to maintain, otherwise it's a step backwards I guess.
Any suggestions appreciated, or pointers to stuff in the manual i've never heard of!!!

You could do it by making each variable an array with a key of 'local' and 'live' like this:
<? $cfgAdminEmail = array("local" => "localaddress", "live" => "liveaddress"); etc. etc. ?>
Then you could set something like $server to "local" or "live" and refer to the var's by $cfgAdminEmail[$server];

I have a directory on my server that contains log files for all my virtual hosts. I'd like to create a (web) login page where each owner of those vhosts can use to gain access to their individual log files. Ideally by using the same login they have on the system (their physical log in).
My problems are, a) each login need only access to their log files, no one else's, and b) some logins will have more than one vhost (and consequently more than one log directory).
Right now I have the directory structure setup as follows:
/main logs/ /main logs/<vhost 1> /main logs/<vhost 2> /main logs/<vhost 3> etc. etc.
So, if the owner of <vhost 1> logs in, I want them to be "dropped" within /main_logs/<vhost 1>/ to see their log files. But, I don't know how to tie the different vhosts that belong to the same user together.
(I suspect someone might ask why, so I'll also note this: The reason I have this setup is because I run statistics on each log file, and it's those reports that the users get access to, not the actual physical log file)
I'm open to suggestions.

Hi Tyler,
Thank you, I checked the permissions and the ownership, all ok, but by inserting the absolute path in the page, the code is running and get the expected output from the script. I realized that I made the same mistake in the php.ini file, I updated the include_path statement to
include_path = ".:/var/www/htmls/php/includes" and now can simply reference the class file without the path and it is working fine.
One question, what is the significance of the colon (:) in the include_path directive?
Thanks,
Andrew
