Here's a newbie question. I installed the Windows CGI InstallShield
version of PHP to use with the MS Personal Web Server I already have
working perfectly on my system.
On restarting my PC and trying a very simple php script, I get the error
at the bottom of this email. Unfortunately there isn't much help for
the InstallShield version of PHP on the web site. I'd rather get this
version working rather than install the manual version.
Can anyone help?
Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This
means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI
variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.
For more information as to why this behaviour exists, see the manual
page for CGI security.
For more information about changing this behaviour or re-enabling this
webserver, consult the installation file that came with this
distribution, or visit the manual page.

I fell for this some time ago - but the trick is that
1. You don't do for ($i=0; $i<99999999999; $i++) { echo "Line $i<br>\n";
} in real life - you do stuff, call object methods, run queries,
whatever, and in between those you have both html and php - and the
remote machine waits for you to do all the "extra" stuff and _then_
waits for you to switch in and out of php for several times. I'm
thinking about switching in and out of php in a "really-mixed" context -
such as having blocks of html inside if() and while() blocks, stuff like
that where you get to parse quite a number of php tags.
2. Your server doesn't only serve one client at a time - I'm surprised
that you're starting with commercial sites and this piece of information
isn't *always* present in your mind.
However, as I said in my original mail, "there's an urban legend saying
that [...] I don't know if that's true". So... I don't know if it
actually slows things down or not.

I think it is a case of horses for courses - you are working on what sounds
like a fairly small project, and "templatizing" your code may be more
trouble than it is worth, so whatever feels best for you...

This whole discussion made me really curious - so you might want to

I was getting a typical 2.5% more for pure PHP with the original order -
switching them increases the difference to about 6.5% more for pure PHP.
Make sure you run it several times before drawing any conclusions, BTW.

I can think of one other reason you would use pure... possibly not very
valid, but still...
Imagine you have a page where, if a password passed from another page is
correct, you want to show some data on the Web page, but if the password is
incorrect you want to show a warning and under no circumstances let them see
the data. If you used mixed, they could simply read the source of the page
to see that data... but with pure, the only source on the page is what PHP
actually prints out, so they won't see anything they shouldn't.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, you may want to try this PHP Classes that provides different levels of e-mail address validation.

The lack of an MX record doesn't necessarily mean mail will not get through, so you cannot use that as a test for whether the address is valid.

Why can a user force php to create a session he's giving the name in the URL? Do you want me to list an half a dozen ways to get rich now with this holes? Does anyone understand the malice of this? Anyone can offer you a click on a session he's going to visit later and hijack from you? Anyone can post data in a black hole of his own and pass it around secretly? Anyone can place precise strings in a precise file location on a server? How is it that a user can force to have any session string, passed in the URL, being created, even when cookies are fully funcional and enabled? Is it possible that there is no policy on creating a new session? There so much fuzz about register_globals, and we let the user create the sessions they want? Shouldn't we check that's us who issued the ticket?
How is it that I cannot find a decent reply to these questions?

As of 4.0.2, stuff is only loaded when it's needed. So, in your example, only 50k is brought in.
Note, this is yet another case where it pays for me to read the manual before posting! I was still thinking in the old way, where include() was conditional and require() was always done.

You could do some sort of exec() or system() type call. For example, on a NetBSD (and similar unix type machines) you can do "ps -o rss,command"

PHP has a built-in mechanism for logging high-watermark memory usage by scripts. Make sure you compile PHP using --enable-memory-limit then you can modify your Apache LogFormat and stick %{mod_php_memory_usage}n in there somewhere which will be replaced with the peak memory usage for that script in bytes.

Hi,
I'm having troubles trying to insert form data into a mysql db, the thing is my client wants table data to be splitted, I mean some data comes from the first form, and the rest from another form. Then this is a portion of the php script.
// Add together proper fields to enter birth date $fecha_nac = $ano_nac + "-" + $mes_nac + "-" + $dia_nac;
// Open mysql db mysql_select_db("intertur");
// SQL query insert all data into a table $query = "insert into RegistroPersonas values ('".NULL."','".$nombre."', '".$apellido."', '".NULL."', '".$direccion."', '".$ciudad."', '".NULL."', '".NULL."', '".$pais."', '".$telefono."', '".$fax."', '".$email."', '".$login_usuario."', '".$clave."', '".$fecha_nac."', '".NULL."', '".NULL."' '".$sexo."', '".NULL."', '".NULL."', '".NULL."', '".NULL."' )"; ----> My problem is NOTHING gets inserted !!! ----> I filled all empty fields with NULL values ----> It connects to the db but does nothing else // Do query $result = mysql_query($query);
// this script has a form at the end, where the remaining fields are // filled // and calls the next script, where the tables are altered // there and the empty fields filled with the values retrieved
I suppose to use Update in the next script , to enter remaining data, but I'm not sure because the first field auto increments, and is the primary key.
TIA

MySQL has it's own NULL, you should probably be using that rather than PHP's.
> // Do query > $result = mysql_query($query);
Do some error checking -- how would you know what's going on if you don't check!?!
1) echo $query; // to check that it looks OK 2) $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); // to display any errors

Hi All,
I have being working on PHP perl compaitable regular expressions for the last month and cannot work out how to program a preg_match_all that will get the "file.html" from the following examples:
<a href="file.html"> <a href='file.html'> <a href=file.html> <frame src="file.html"> <frame src='file.html'> <frame src=file.html>
The preg_match_all I have below only works for <a href="file.html"> but not for the other variations...
preg_match_all("|href=\"?([^\"' >]+)|i", $data, $links);
I tried the preg_match_all below, but that didn't work...
preg_match_all("|(href|src)=([^\"']+)?([^\"' >]+)|i", $data, $links);
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael.

I want to have a php script processed on a daily (eg 9am) interval. is there some way to automate this from within the script or do i need to schedule this with an external app?
has anyone had any experience with this previously?
thanks Daniel
attached mail follows:
it needs to be scheduled.
- on *nix, a cron job will do it - on mac, a program like iDo Script Scheduler (combined with a simple applwscript) will do it - on windows, i believe there are tools to do this, but not sure what they are
alternatively, i set up a HTML page as my 'start' page on IE, which acts as a portal, running a few scripts... since i open my browser about 360 days a year, it's pretty reliable, and i've got a failsafe in there to make sure the scripts are only run once per day.

One way of doing this is to set up a cronjob that has Lynx call the script.
There is a flag that is usually added as well ... I'm not sure right now but it could be '-dump':
lynx -dump http://your/script/url.php
This has been covered a few times in the archive if you want to check the details there.
This assumes that you are on a Linux/UNIX server, and that PHP is an Apache module, not a standalone CGI installation (where you could call the script directly without using Lynx).

Actually, /usr/lib/php is a directory most likely. You need to make sure you compiled the binary at compile time, and then (on Linux) it would be installed to /usr/local/bin/php.

Simply refer to them within double quotes as if they were words:
echo "This is $DOCUMENT_ROOT at $row['location'].<BR>";
or bundle them together as a string:
echo "This is " . $DOCUMENT_ROOT . " at " . $row['location'] . ".<BR>";
You can shove as many variables as you like into the string like this...

Try this:
foreach ($Tags as $key => $value) { ... }
In that loop you will get all entries of $Tags[] one at a time, and $key will be the name of the entry you seek (like 'issue-name'), and $value will be the value held at that entry.

Hello friends.
Pls excuse me if this is too simple a question.
I have a mysql database running with PHG scripts for member registration, find members etc which is running well. Now I want to make a system to send the username and passwords to members if they have lost them.
the way I am doing it is : when the user logs in on the 1st page with his email address, I take him to the second page where I ask the favourite question from the database for which he must answer, then I check that the answer is correct in a third page and send his email. My problem is that I do not know how to remember the variable between the 1st and the third page. I can manage between two pages but not between three pages.
Can someone help how I can remember the email address between the above three pages?
Thanks very much Denis

You don't need to 'remember' the variable between the 1st page and the 3rd page.
> Can someone help how I can remember the email address between the above > three pages?
You pass the variable(s) from the 1st page to the 2nd page. Then again from the 2nd to the 3rd.

I would think that if $a were a number that
echo $a;
and
printf('%d', $a);
would produce the same output. Is this correct?
Either I'm missing something, or PHP gets very confused when dealing with some numbers. For example, the following program
<? $result = 0x9E3779B9; echo $result printf('%d', $result); ?>
produces
2654435769 -1640531527
I get the same kind of unexpected results when doing arithmetic on such numbers.
Is this tickling some kind of known bug in PHP? or am I misunderstanding something?

It's not a bug, just an 'inconsistency'. Both are correct... if you have a calculator that supports hex, type both those results in and convert to hex. Both should say 9E3779B9. The first result treats 9E3779B9 as an unsigned 32-bit value, the second result treats it as a _signed_ 32-bit value. If you use
printf('%u', $result);
(assuming PHP supports the full range of C printf() format specifiers), it should print out 2654435769 as does the straight echo.
It seems echo treats numbers as unsigned...
When doing arithmetic in code, you should always be prepared to handle signed and unsigned.

You can't use echo or print in your image - you have to use ImageTTFText or ImageString or any other Image function. If you go to PHP.net and search the Image functions you should be able to find some helpful things that you can use. You also have to initialize your colors with ImageColorAllocate.
I have a meeting until about 1:00, but if you're still having problems let me know and I can email you some example code this afternoon.

Subject: Nothing will execute after calling imagejpeg.
Hello, My name is Kris Johnson. I 'm hoping you can give me some direction on a problem I am having.
After calling imagejpeg nothing else will work. I have tried echoing html, echoing just a word in quotes, as well as a using a location header. I do not get any errors or warnings, but whatever command I use simply doesn't work. As a test I remarked imagejpeg out of the code and as soon as I did this the commands after worked fine. I tried changing the filetype to png but still get the same problem.
Have a nice day Kris
