Folks,
I was going through PHPlib for the first time to assess whether or not I
can use it on a current project, and it looks pretty clear to me that you
need a DB in order to use the session management.
My environment will be a Windows NT 4.0 SP5 box running Apache
and PHP. I have no DB on the box, and am not allowed to introduce one,
nor am I allowed to rely on an external DB of any sort.
Is there a way to use PHPlib sessions in this environment?
thanks,
-Alan

Hi Alan
I think this is primarily due to the fact that the phplib sessions were
around before php built in sessions.
In the current CVS for phplib there are some files that allow you to utilise
php's built in sessions. This enables you to use file storage for sessions.
I've been using the session4 stuff with phplib for a while and works well,
but this is using db storage. I wouldn't imagine there will be a problem just
using a different session container.
As for the default distribution of phplib I don't know if this can use files
for session storage I haven't had the need to find out.

Session4 without Session4_custom uses native php containers, e.g.
files or mm.

Where is this "session4"?
I pulled "php-lib-stable" out of CVS yesterday and do not see this anywhere. Is this part of the "bleeding edge" in "php-lib" (without the "stable") in CVS?

A better way to set this up might be to use a reverse proxy in front of www1.test.com and www2.test.com. Users would go to www.test.com and the reverse proxy would forward communications between the front-end and the servers in the back, thereby balancing the load. Cookies should still work fine, regardless of the server that actually sets them. (I'm not sure if PHP's built-in sessions would work...)
Since I'm assuming you're using Apache here, you'd most likely want to look into using Squid, which is a kick-ass proxy. Setting up the re-director is a bit of a hastle, since you basically have to write one from scratch, but it isn't too difficult. (There are lots of pre-made ones that can handle things like round-robins, randomness, all that jazz.)

The old standard is ab (apache bench) which comes with Apache. It just sends out HTTP requests so it can be used to choke any web server.

Perhaps not all hosts can understand the Contenet-Transfer-Encoding header. It's a very special feature only supported by a few operating systems with FlexiSpell(tm).

You could count the files in the session store directory.

If you use files you might get the contens of the folder where sessions stored and just count.

Well, you've simply defined a few variables and then a function. Do you expect it to do something?
Show us the context in which this function is used.

you probably want an "or" before that die().

Why not take the off mysql_select_db($db) so that you can see which
particular error is being returned? Or print mysql_error().

How would that work?
miguel
attached mail follows:
if( $db ){
mysql_select_db($db) or die("The site database is unavailable.");
}
To debug, use print( mysql_error ) instead of die to figure out what's going on. It's not that far of a leap in logic.

Usually the mail is delivered directly to a program rather than to a mailbox. The program receives the incoming message as input and handles it as it pleases.

1) Make sure you have built the CGI versions of PHP.
2) Create a PHP script file that begings with a bangpath invocation of the PHP CGI binary. So, if your standalone PHP were located in /usr/local/bin/php, your PHP file would start with:

3) In your script, use fopen, etc., to read from "php://stdin". The incoming message will be there.
4) Do anything you like with the data. Store it in databases, create a reply and mail() it out, etc.
5) You'll have to convince sendmail to deliver mail for one or more addresses to your PHP script file. With qmail it's a matter of creating a .qmail file with |/path/name but I wouldn't know how to do that particular thing with sendmail as I never use it.
Good luck!

You must have control over the Message Transfer Agent (MTA), such as SendMail. Or, if your host uses qmail MTA, you set it up using the dot-qmail files in your user directory.

What are you actually trying to do? If you're trying to make a mailing-list type program then you're better off using an existing mailing list program.
Otherwise with sendmail you can use procmail. It's clunky but doable.

You might want to reference an article from the May issue of Sysadmin Magazine ( http://www.sysadminmag.com/ ) title 'Using Email to Perform UNIX System Monitoring and Control' by Bob Dilworth. On the down side of your question, the article describes how Perl and Sendmail is used to execute commands, not PHP. This should give you some ideas on how to approach it though.

This sounds susspiciously like a Javascript question to me. :)
I wrote a PHP/Javascript system a while back that prints out an event calendar on a client page. The Javascript is copy&paste so you can have the calendar show up on any web page anywhere in the world. It works like this..
The Javascript on the client's page redirects to the PHP script on my server with display_dates and clientid in the URL string. Then the PHP script parses $_GET and extracts the requested data from the database. Then the PHP script does a redirect back to the originating Javascript (known by $HTTP_REFERER) with the compressed data (again in the URL string). The Javascript does some simple parsing and generates the calendar table based on the extracted values.
This sounds a lot like what you want to do. But how you parse the data in Javascript is obviously not a PHP question. Are you're certain this reordering isn't something that can be done in PHP? I guess my real question is what is the Javascript for?

Believe me I certainly don't want to ask a JS ques. here, I am reading tutorials on the web! I already accomplished reordering using PHP, I gave up on php since I wasn't able to pass arrays betn. pages using header(). In PHP when user moves each element and submits up, down, top or bottom there is server-client communication while in JS there will be server-client comm. only at the end when a Done button is pressed. i.e. SPEED :-)

Okay I'm beginning to understand. I don't think you have to use Javascript in this situation you jsut have to be a little clever about how you build your URL string. You can send an array through the URL by splitting up each value like this..
$url = 'http://www.domain.com/index.php?myarray[]='.$myarray[0]; for ($i=1; $i<count($myarray); $i++) { $url .= '&myarray[]='.$myarray[$i]; } header("Location: $url");
You will get $_GET[myarray] on the other side. OR you can do a single comma or semicolon delimited string and then explode(',' $myarray) on the other end to reconstitue the array. Hope that helps.

If your arrays are not huge, why can you not simply use the GET method?
$array = array('mutant', 'zombie', 'psychic'); $temp_array = array(); foreach ($array as $freak) { $temparray[] = 'freaks[]=' . $freak; } $headerstring = implode('&', $temparray);
header('Location: http://www.domain.com/page.php?' . $headerstring);
The above code creates a querystring that should look like
freaks[]=mutant&freaks[]=zombie&freaks[]=psychic
Then, in your "receiving" PHP page, just do something like
foreach ($_GET['freaks'] as $freak) { print $freak; }
Or whatever processing you need to do.

I would definitely use the Dreamweaver/BBEdit combination. Dreamweaver for your wysiwyg layout and then BBEdit for your hard core coding. BBEdit is the best programmers program out there. And Dreamweaver.. Well I hear they will be coming out with a new OS X version soon that will rock your socks :) So look for it.. And my guess is that php will definitely be supported a little more then it already is.. We'll see.. :)
Cheers!

The ultimate Mac editor is BBEdit. I use it night and day. 6.5.2 has syntax coloring for PHP, Perl, Python, JavaScript, HTML, XML, about a dozen other languages too. Runs native in OS X.
Also you can use emacs if you have OS X, it's already installed. But I prefer BBEdit.
BBEdit is only $79 if you "upgrade" to it from BBEdit Lite, which is the free version available at BareBones.com. I asked the BareBones folks how they verify that someone actually has BBEdit Lite since this is free, and they said they don't -- you just tell them you want the discount for the upgrade.
There is also a full version demo of BBEdit that has all of the features, which works for 25 days or something like that. Check it out, I did and promptly ordered my copy within a few days.

I'm told, BBEdit for MacOSX is solid, although I haven't used it. I used to work in BBEdit on OS9. It was the best PERL editors I've ever used. The Mac's seamless integration with the interpretor is something that I really miss. But at the time the Mac did not support PHP so I was forced to Windows/Homesite.. which in all honesty I really like as well even if it is a bit clumsey by comparison.
Oh sorry. So much for long drawn out answers to simple questions eh? :)

BBEdit is by far one of the best basic text editors I have ever seen on any platform. I use 6.1 (waiting on for an upgrade), and it runs OK on 10.1.4. It would be great to see some tight PHP environment to work in, but I have yet to see it.
All BBEdit needs is some sort of ProjectBuilder style integration with PHP to make it great.
In fact with MacOS 10.x you can put most production applications (Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc..) on your local machine and make it quite powerful for testing and development.

I was a diehard BBEdit fan and switched to Alpha for a bit... but BBEdit has *clearly* taken the lead and it's been my preferred editor for over a year again (no intent of ever switching again). OS X integration is very nice (% bbedit file will open up file in BBEdit for example).

BBedit it is. I've been holding off on switching for awhile but I just started using it today and I'm already kicking myself for not switching earlier. There was no problem/learning curve that I was afraid of and I've found a number of improvements over the workflow from Dreamweaver. Thanks for all the input to all that replied.

I'm using PHP v.4.0.6. and PostgreSQL 7.2. Does any one know the equivilant of auto_increment for postgresSQL? For example when creating a table:

can a web page be called and diplayed using the fsockopen and fputs/fgets functions?
so instead of just using a normal href call i use a script and fsockopen (not header(Location: ....) ) etc.?
thanks.
attached mail follows:
I haven't tried this, but why don't you just use fopen with a URL, especially if you don't what to have to deal with the http header.
I would think that if you do the fsockopen to port 80, you will need to use the handshake protocol required by that server which involves the get/put http headers. fopen should handle all that for you.

Place the .mov files outside of your web folders, and write a PHP file that'll control the outputting of them.
You would link to the .php file just like you would a .mov file, but you have the PHP check for a session or something to verify that the user should be able to view the .mov file. If they are allowed, then send the appropriate .mov headers with header() and then output the data.

Can anybody help me with this problem? Basically, I have thousands of MS Word documents. What I need to do is to design an interface that will let you submit more of them into the database, and it should index all these documents, like extract keywords. Is this possible at all via PHP? Also it should index or like re-index existing docs.
I would be greatful for some advise or tutorial that does that.

I have a problem with my variables not being set. I have a file I use for constants and functions, structured like so:
$this = "this"; $that = "that"; . . . function this() { $h = $this; $i = $that; }
function that() { }
Now, when I run this(), $this isn't set (even though it's above it in the same file). I can pretty much guess (when running a function, it won't parse through the whole file, just skips to that function), but I was wondering if there is another solution. I'd hate to separate the variable settings and the functions, but will if I have to.

(the following lesson applies to most programming languages these days)
Each variable has what's called "scope", which defines the context in which it is visible.
There is something called "global scope" which refers to all variables created outside of any function or object. Variables with global scope are then available anywhere outside of a function or object.
Also, each function has its own "local scope". Variables created inside a function have scope local to that function and cannot be seen or referenced outside of that function. This is very good for programming, because it means you can re-use variables like $file and $str without having to worry that you are messing things up elsewhere in your program. Without scoping, writing a program of any serious size becomes a major pain: You have to keep making up longer and longer variable names, and your variables' contents keep getting changed behind your back.
Your $this and $that are created with global scope. This is why they are not accessible within the functions this() and that(). When you referred to $this inside function this(), you created an entirely new variable $this with scope local to function this().
Obviously you need ways to move data in and out of functions. The preferred method is to pass them into functions as arguments and receive the results as the function's return value.
For instance, try running this simple program:
<?
$this = "hello"; $that = my_function($this); print $that;
function my_function($str) { print $str; return "I just said '$str'"; }
?>
The other way to get variables into a function is to import them from the global scope. You do this with the keyword global, as follows:
<?
$this = "hello"; my_function();
function my_function(); { global $this; print $this; }
?>
(in both examples I changed the variable and function names around to eliminate the human confusion caused by using 'this' and 'that' for both).

Is there a difference between the concept of "scope" and the concept of "namespace"? I see "scope" used in PHP and "namespace" used in Python, and while the rules are slightly different between the two of them (such as variables in the global namespace being accessible to a function definition in Python, but not in PHP), they seem to be comparable. Is this the case?

For those of you who write web applications (in any language), what do you recommend as the best way to store arbitrary atomic data for the web application? in other words, data that doesn't really need to be stored in a relational database, as it does not really relate to anything?
In the app I am working on (PHP/MySQL), there are several instances of this. One of them is: a multiplier of 1.5 is applied to any "materials cost" of posters ordered through my app. That is, although the "materials cost" to my employer is, say $0.076 per square inch, 0.114 is the amount that we charge per square inch (0.076 * 1.5). However, this multiplier could change at some point in the future, so I am hesitant to leave the number hard-coded into my page. I would rather have it stored in the database, where my employer can easily update or change it to another multiplier. But it seems awkward to create a table that simply maintains the multiplier:
mysql> SELECT * FROM material_multiplier; +------------+ | multiplier | +------------+ | 1.50 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I suppose I could store a table with two columns, one being VARNAME the other being VALUE, and pull this kind of standalone data out of it, but was curious what other people do when they need to store something like this.

Agreed, this is how I would recommend you do it. I would be careful naming your include files with an .inc extension, though, since .inc isn't parsed by PHP and will be shown as plain text when pulled up in a web browser. I normally name them something like config.inc.php or database.inc.php, etc.
I've gotten into the habit, from working with GeekLog, to put everything into a $_CONF array.
$_CONF["database"] = "MySQL"; $_CONF["multiplier"] = 1.5;
etc...

I let them in a database and a nice administration page so people can change. There are a lot of more information that you can store, such as last time of change, and previous values (so peopel can "rollback" them), who changed, description of the value, related to other values, and there always someones inspired by your app, such as especific to a client, to a part of the webiste, to users, merchants (or vendors), etc....

By the way.. You can include a little script in your .htaccess file or your httpd.conf file so that it will not show .inc files just like it does for .ht files. That's a great idea for the $_CONF array.. That will help me keep some of my variables straight and where they come from :)

I'm sorry, I meant to be more clear --
although include files are great for storing data that will probably not change (but are now in a convenient include file in case they have to change), I was thinking of making this data updateable from within the application. So that my employer, who does not know a thing about PHP or MySQL, can change this information from the "administration" section of the site. Which is why I was thinking of using the database...
... well, I may just keep it in an include file, and if anyone ever needs to change the data, I'll explain in the documentation where the data should be changed. Thanks for the tips guys

I think using the database is a fine idea - even if you just serialize a giant array of configuration parameters and stuff them in a TEXT field (less work to set up, but you'll have to use your PHP admin tool to make changes, thereby forsaking your ability to don your wizard robes and pop open a MySQL CLI session to make changes in front of awed management).

How about storing it in a database like you said with variable and value but when you change a value then you write over your config.inc.php file with a new one. So you get to change the value easily in a database and by using a file you make your app faster without any database access everytime.

What would be the point of using the database then?

You can still have it updateable by a client. Fopen that file read it, change the appropriate values and close it.. Voila! All done :)
