I didn't think that PHP could run w/o one though, so my idea was to use a
text browser, have it run the script, then exit out. As I said, I was
probably wrong ;)

Build the CGI version of PHP and you can run it from the command line like
any other interpreter.

Actually, that's exactly how it's typically done, using wget or lynx.
Yes, you can compile a standalone version of PHP and use it directly,
but most hosts do not have that. So, you add a line to your cron file
that calls up your PHP script through lynx. Your script shouldn't return
anything, just do what it has to do, or it should redirect output to a
file or email. You can use the -dump switch for lynx to dump any output
that does occur.
I know he said he did not want to invoke it from a browser, but I think
he meant that he didn't want to have to physically go to and load up the
page himself.

Hi..
or should I say.. Hi fellow Aussie mate .. :)
Yeah I am in oz too and asked some hosting questions a while back..
Your host has only 2GB downloads on the UNIX plan and also that's at US$15
p/m.. isnt that a tad pricey?
I was looking into powweb.com or aletia.com at much cheaper pricing and
larger services (200mb storage, 10/12Gb p/m,etc)
What do you think of these..
Thanks...

for this part I can say it works very well, you just encode your code with the command line encoder, upload it to wherever and it runs (if the zend optimizer is running) and the code is very unreadable.

Hi all,
ok, here is my problem.
I have a table in my db which is like this:
id name parent_id 1 menu1 0 2 menu2 0 3 menu3 0 4 menu4 0 5 sub1 1 6 sub2 2 7 sub3 3 8 sub4 6 9 sub5 7 10 sub6 9
which would be a tree like this (well, not actually a tree, more like a couple of linear linear lists starting from a point where parent_id == 0):
menu1 -> sub1 menu2 -> sub2 -> sub4 menu3 -> sub3 -> sub5 -> sub6 menu4
or something like this :)
The table always has less than 200 rows, so I just go right ahead an read all values into my array $categories. So now everything is let's say in: $categories['id'] $categories['name'] and $categories['parent_id']
I now make my $tree array and push every array from categories on it if it meets $categories['parent_id'] == 0 to start with
for ($i=0; $i < count($categories); $i++) { if ($categories['parent_id'] == 0) $tree[] = $categories[$i]; }
Now comes the hard part where help would be appreciated. How do I recursively run through $categories and add all the subs to the right $tree?
If you have any ideas I would be very glad.

Hello
I use a class to parse a RSS feed, my problem is that when the distant site is down my own site is stuck (because my class waits for an answer that doesn't come..) The logical answer is to use a fsockopen before to control the connection. Reading the doc I see : int fsockopen ( string hostname, int port [, int errno [, string errstr [, float timeout]]])
fsockopen allows to control if the hostname is up and running
My problem is that hostname returns the home page that is in HTML, the page that I want is a php page.
HTML page are not often down (only when all the server is down) php pages are often down (because mySQL problem or PHP problems)
So I'd like to be able to control if a specific url is OK and not only the hostname.
How can I do that ?
Thanks in advance

Does the class already use fsockopen() to make the connection? If not, then throwing in a call to that function won't do anything. It's a fundamentally different way of having PHP get the data, and the class would have to be rewritte.
I'm also not clear on what you're really asking. You want to set a timeout but you only want it to apply to pages that you are guessing were generated by PHP, because you don't think that pages you guess are static will need it? Why would it hurt to use the timeout there too?

Hey all, This question is mainly mySQL related however I believe the problem maybe caused by phpMyAdmin which is why I am posting it here. Anyhow does mySQL tables allow for a mix of char / varchar columns? Because if I try to create a table in phpMyAdmin for example: CREATE TABLE generic ( title char(20) NOT NULL, title_alternate varchar(40) NOT NULL ) TYPE=MyISAM; it will always be stored as: CREATE TABLE generic ( title varchar(20) NOT NULL, title_alternate varchar(40) NOT NULL ) TYPE=MyISAM; and I am unable to force it to char. The only reason why this is a problem is char columns are quicker to process thus it would be ideal to mix such columns rather than be forced to create another table for example, Thanks for your time, Scott Reismanis

The way you're doing it now, you're first ERASING whatever value passed from the URL, with
$file="";
and then trying to use it...
If this ' $file="" ' is some declaration attempt, just drop it, you don't need to declare variables in PHP. Just check if $file has a value and then use it.
For example,
if ($file != "") include($file);
Hope it helps.

attached mail follows:
I would advise against doing that unless you really know what your doing. Doing it that way will allow anyone to type in any file on your server that PHP has access to and load it, or possibly load a file off of another server.
That said, if you have a url like page.php?file=foo.inc
Then that value will be present in $_GET["file"] (PHP 4.1+) or $HTTP_GET_VARS["file"] (PHP <4.1)
include($_GET["file"]); include($HTTP_GET_VARS["file"]);

This was replied to already by me and others. Didn't you read the replies?

-----Original Message----- <script language="php"> $file = ""; //the above is defined from the url include "$file"; </script> It could be what I was typing in the url bar. file.php?file=foobar.inc -----Original Message-----
Hmm, so you define $file in your url as "foobar.inc" and then, in the page itself you take change $file to be "".
At least, that's how I'd read it. I'd suggest, it's not an overly good idea to include a file like this as someone else has already mentioned.
In any event, your fix would have to be something like this:
<script language="php">
If (!isset($file) || empty($file)) { $file = "some file"; } Include "$file" ;
</script>
That way you're only going to over-write the contents of $file if it's already either unset or empty.

attached mail follows:
A simple example might be (unoptimised for clarity):
http://www.myserver.com/someurl/page.php?file=home
<?php
// Get the file from the url - assuming PHP > v4.1.x $file = $_GET("file");
// Remove case sensitivity $file = strtolower($file);
// To stop people including just ANY old file, we are going to use a switch // to validate the page they are after. All include files have been appended // with .page in order to stop /etc/passwd being outputed (for instance). switch ($file) { case "main" : case "home" : case "elephant" : case "..." : { include "pages/".$file.".page"; } default : { // "unknown.page" could be an error message giving out a 404. include "unknown.page"; } } exit;
?>
Switch is one way of doing it, you could also do it through array's (using in_array) if you wish all to have the same action. Switch's allow you to specify different actions for different pages (when you move onto session validated pages you'll find that ability invaluble) ... Also comes in useful when your variable parsing script is in the same php file as your display script. [Id give examples but Im too tired to be bothered heh]

Some links I've found:

It's a bit difficult for me choosing the right one to start with. In Delphi it's easy to create a SOAP server but with PHP it seems a lot of hand work. What I need is like declaring the published functions and the SOAP implementation creates the WSDL and everything for me or vice-vers: create the needed PHP code from a WSDL.

http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/index.php
This work is being developed further for PEAR but they have no stabe version yet:
With very few code lines (applies to PHP and Delphi) I was able to - create a tiny web service that responses with a greeting to a given name and that contains some functions that return the current average server load, memory usage etc. - made a tiny application in delphi (had about 10 lines to write) that can call each of these functions and display them in a dialog box.
it worked from scratch! :-)) I'll have a more in-depth look when I have time but the current implementation seems quite good and is easy to use. (need a way to create the WSDL file however).
Cheers, Udo

Please HELP!
PROBLEM
When a php script uses mail() and sendmail, if the e-mail address is not right, the e-mail is returned to the envelope sender (the hosting provider), NOT to the "From", "Reply-To", "Return-Path", or any other additional headers included in mail().
Apparently, this problem is faced by any user who utilizes a hosting provider.
SOLUTION
I've found 2 php classes (developed by Manuel Lemo) that address this problem.
The first, email_message.php was built to send MIME-encoded messages.
The second, sendmail_message.php extends the first by addressing the return-path problem.
Unfortunately, the first parses the message to allow sending MIME-encoded messages. For many who are only sending plain text messages, this is unnecessary processing.
HELP NEEDED
I would like to consolidate these 2 classes and eliminate the parsing. Unfortunately, I'm a newbie and need help from the pros.
If anyone is interested in participating in this project, please e-mail me
directly at afrodriguezatt.net.
After completion this "new" class would be submitted to www.phpclasses.org for everyone to use.
Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean, but the class does not parse the message, but rather encodes it in a way that it will not be refused by some mail servers.

Encoding in MIME is generally a requirement for sending messages, but even if it were not usually required, what would be the importance of not doing it?
You can always send your messages directly to the recipients SMTP server with this class:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/14.html
But if you do not format the message according to the MIME standards, chances are that your message is refused, bounced or even discarded by some SPAM filter.

Ok.. Have you recently updated your php system?
Reason I ask is the way you are using the functions mysql_connect and mysql_select_db are quite ... "bad" to say the least
You should have permissions setup for a root account or something in your mysql.user table and then you can do this:
$DB=mysql_connect("localhost","root","password");
notice I now have a user/pass arg and also I am assigning the handle of the connection to a var ($DB)
then use:
mysql_select_db("smpk2",$DB);
and that should work fine as long as user and pass are right and db exists.. (and server has mysql running of course :P )
if not.. let us know..
If you want to know how to setup users and permissions for MySQL.. give us a yell.. be glad to help out..

Hmm...let me see if I can decrypt that message. Apparently you were denied access with user nobody and you were not using a password.
Read the manual page on mysql_connect(), you're missing some arguments.

Hi all,
I have a mySQL database running with PHP4. I have constructed a search form ($searchSite) which returns results in a results page & now I want to have the word that was entered in the search form highlight in the results page.
eg User enters a search for products using the word " gardening"
Results page might return:
"this shovel is a great gardening tool" and "to be a expert in gardening, you will need"...............I want the word gardening to be bold wherever it is displayed.
My results page has the following code to display search results: BTW it works like a dream...I just want to jazz it up a bit.
<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE Description LIKE '%$searchSite%' OR Keywords LIKE '%$searchSite%' OR CatName LIKE '%$searchSite%' ");
blah blah blah
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo("<tr bgcolor='#FFFFFF'>"); echo("<td width='93'><div align='center'><font size= '2' face = 'Arial,Helvetica,Sans serif'>" . $row["Description"] . "</td>"); echo("<td width='93'><div align='center'><font size= '2' face = 'Arial,Helvetica,Sans serif'>" . $row["ProductName"] . "</td>"); echo("<td width='93'><div align='center'><font size= '2' face = 'Arial,Helvetica,Sans serif'>\$" . $row["RetailPrice"] . "</td>");
?>
How do I do this to highlight my search words?
Thanks, any ideas much appreciated by this PHP newbie.
DC
attached mail follows:
If you want to highlight the EXACT search string, do a str_replace() on $row["Description"], $row["ProductName"], etc etc, replacing the search phrase with <B>$searchSite</B>. Pretty simple.
<?
$description = str_replace($siteSearch, "<B>$siteSearch</B>", $row["Description"]);
$productName = str_replace($siteSearch, "<B>$siteSearch</B>", $row["ProductName"]);
?>
But, I'm guessing the search word is possibly more than one word??? If that's the case, you may wish to highlight each word individually:
If that's the case, split the words in $searchSite into an array, and loop through through the array, replacing each word with <B>word</B>.
Something like (untested):
<? $searchWords = explode(" ", $searchSite);
foreach($searchWords as $key => $word) { $row["Description"] = str_replace($word, "<B>$word</B>", $row["Description"]); $row["ProductTitle"] = str_replace($word, "<B>$word</B>", $row["ProductTitle"]); } echo $row["ProductTitle"]."<BR>"; echo $row["Description"]."<BR>"; ?>
Although this will need further tweaking, because it's case sensitive (searching for "dog" and "Dog" will produce different results, it doesn't account for dog* (doggies, dogs, etc), and is perhaps a little limited in other ways, but should get you started).
A well constructed reg exp instead of the str_replace will cover most of this, but i'm no good at them, and str_replace is quicker, IF it's all you need.

I can't seem to figure out the following.
I use the http upload functions a lot, works great!!.. For some months now I have been using a small PHP program which I use to upload PDF files of scanned documents and insert them into a Mysql table..
Normally these files are small (<250 kb), but I now have a PDF of 1 MB... When uploading files I run the function: chunk_split(base64_encode($binaryfile)); to encode it, this to transform the binary file to text.. (Works great!!!)
When the query was called to insert the data, nothing happens, also no error from mysql... Only think I can think of is that the mysql query string is to long.. ?? (The data when encoded is about 1.3 MB of text)..
This is the source code..
if (!($userfile_size == 0)) {$fd = fopen ($userfile, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($userfile)); fclose ($fd); unlink ($userfile); echo "Eerste RAW: ".strlen($contents); $encodes_data = chunk_split(base64_encode($contents)); $userfile_name = str_replace(" ", "", "$userfile_name"); echo strlen($encodes_data)." - Displays text size <BR>"; //Works right! mysql ($databasename_boekhoud, "insert mubo_boekhoud_images (data, originalname, groep, type) values '$encodes_data', '$userfile_name', '$groep', '$userfile_type')"); // mysql_error(); //No error given..? }
Any suggestions are very much appreciated...

Instead of uploading to Mysql, why don't you store the file at a directory and on Mysql only the path to it?
Retrieving files from the hard drive is much faster than doing the same on Mysql, and also access to manipulation (insert, update, delete, etc...)

G' morning!
Can someone tell me where to find the various options for the Header function as it relates to M$ Excel? Last week, thanks to this list, we found a way to open a worksheet in the browser and display data retrieved from a database. The worksheet opens with no gridlines, I would like to see gridlines. Are there options that can be placed in the header function. I have looked at MSDN and did a Google search that did not reveal much of anything.
Here is the header info being used...
header("Content-Type: application/x-excel"); header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"excel.xls\""); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");

Nope, it's not an Excel file. It is a PHP file imitating an Excel file, calling data from the DB and generating the worksheet on-the-fly.

Yeah, I was going to say that. How ever you format the HTML is how it's going to show up in Excel. Excel is just going to translate the HTML tables into it's own. Same goes for colors, bold, underline, center, etc.

[snip] This is intriguing me, are you opening up excel in a browser window or just printing out html tables?? I am confused. [/snip]
I am using PHP to query a database and create an HTML table based on the information in the database (in this case it it a large crosstab query). This is set up to open Excel in a broswer window (inline) and display the data in a worksheet. All normal Excel functions can be performed on the worksheet without changing the data in the database. These worksheets then can be saved to the user's local disk. They can always run the original query again by requesting the worksheet/page again.
Link pointed to php page that will send to browser <a href="test.php/test.xls"> Stupid IE trick, the .xls file does not 'exist', but will fake out Excel to open the .php 'page' in a worksheet. Also, make sure to include header information listed in previous e-mail at the top of the PHP page.
The steps are; 1. Create a PHP file with the header info 2. Do a PHP request to the database. 3. Use the results to create an HTML table within the PHP 4. Open this table in a spreadsheet
HTH!

Why bother posting a perl forum here !
YaBB is a leading FREE, downloadable Perl forum that allows you to provide a real-time chat and support system for your visitors. While chat programs allow people to talk directly, you have to be on them 24/7 to please everyone. With forum software like YaBB, you can talk any time, and everyone can join or read the conversation. So get visitors coming back, for interesting discussions, fun chit chat, or needed support without having to spend thousands of dollars.

Write a regular expression to extract it. See manual -> Regular Expression Functions (Perl-Compatible) for an example which you can use as a starting point.

I find caching to be extremely helpful. I have a complex property layer for my php based web engine/library. These properies have several levels of dependency and inheritance which can take as many as 15 queries to build. Then I cache the tree and it is reduced to a single query on subsequent page requests. Also I found a 30% load time improvement when I installed the PHPAccelerator compile cache which is excellent considering the amount of optimizations I have in my code. Thus to close I must say there are different types of caching to suit different needs and whether one or the other is suitable depends on what you want whether it makes sense to cache the data.

I see a PHP page that adds an entry to the database then goes to a page that says Your entry has been entered from the PHP page. what I am looking for is how to redirect after that page has been submitted and the entry is added to the database and the page tells me that I have entered the information into the database IF I would like to add another entry in to the database, again using php. I dont think I submitted this to the wrong group. I thought for a moment that I might get hammered for asking a mixed javascript, php, mysql question, but I thought that someone would actually see what I was trying to do. But just to let you know I just worked around the problem by closing out that php tags entering some jscript and and html and then re-opening the php tags. So thank you any hoo.

Hi All,
I have a script that uploads files via my browser. Works fine under RedHat 7.0 but on a RH 7.2 server it crashes on files over at least 10MB. Files under 3MB work fine.
Any suggestions? I've looked around for a php config file that might specify the max file size but so far have found nothing. Could this be an imcompatibility on RH 7.2?
Thanks in advance, Linn

I think you can also limit the size with a hidden input on the form... like this:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2048000"> the value corresponds to the number of bytes. so this would be for 2 MB..

D'oh! You're right, I went back and checked php.ini and found upload_max_filesize but it's already set to 200M, I'm assuming that means 200 MegaBytes. So I don't think that's the problem. I don't have the hidden tag set in the page code so that shouldn't be a factor either, right? I'm a real rooky at php programming.

Yeah I am in oz too and asked some hosting questions a while back..
Your host has only 2GB downloads on the UNIX plan and also that's at US$15 p/m.. isnt that a tad pricey?
I was looking into powweb.com or aletia.com at much cheaper pricing and larger services (200mb storage, 10/12Gb p/m,etc)
What do you think of these..

Yes and no. You can pass variables to a php script with the normal HTTP POST ang GET methods, however it's done with javascript.

You can use PHP to write HTML or Javascript. You can submit data to PHP through GET, POST, COOKIE, values. Those are your options.
So, if you have a PHP variable, that you want to pass to Javascript, then you do this.
<? $my_php_var = "foo"; ?> <script language='javascript'> my_js_var = '<?=$my_php_var?>'; </script>
Now, to get your JS variable back to PHP, you have to include it in a form, or tack it on to a URL. You can put it in a form as a hidden element.
Hope that helps,
---John Holmes...
attached mail follows:
Unless you're doing HTML as a halfway between Javascript and PHP, you cannot do a POST method (obviously). But you can always pass values in the URL string.
Access the URL string in Javascript with "document.location.search". Access the URL string in PHP with "$HTTP_GET_VARS" or "$_GET". You can generate a URL with variables then do a Header redirect to automate the switch. Use "document.location.href" in Javascript and "header('Location:') in PHP".
Read up on these methods and you should be all set.

I am using the mysql sum() function to return the "sum" of a bunch of dolor amounts stored "float" values. But what I get back it something like this "98.199998855591" it is to precise. All I want is the dolor amounts added up and rounded up to the closest penny. Is there a better value type to use or a function that will return the information properly formatted.

MySQL has a decimal column type which allows you to specify to how many decimal points the number is stored. http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Column_types.html
If you want to do it via PHP, you can format the number via number_format() and that will give you the 2 decimal points as well as the commas where needed.
Also, both PHP and MySLQ have round() functions to format the numbers.

I would like to be able to make a client side HTTPS request from one of my pages. From searching around, I see that I can do everything I want using the CURL library. But the ISP I am using does not have the CURL library installed.
I'll ask them if they'll install this library. But, assuming they don't, do I have any other options for doing what I want?

Even if they don't have it compiled into PHP, they might have curl installed and available from the comman
