UNIX gurus:

How can I get a PHP script to run or execute from a UNIX command line and echo the stdout back to the terminal window?

For example,

> execute/run??? file.php

What I really want to do is create a cron job (which I do know how to create) for the script. The script doesn't really echo any results back, but logs its results. The script it too time consuming to be run by having someone running the script through a web browser and waiting for it to complete.

Thank you very much.

Check the archives on this...

But you need the executable php

And on top of the file:

example.php

#!/usr/bin/php -q <?php

...stuff here ?>

Then chmod the script to be executable and you can run from commandline. For cron jobs just put it in the cron file and put the path to the file...

Also in the archives are discussions on how to do this using lynx, which does not require an executable PHP, but does require that the script reside somewhere in the document root of your web server...

No you need to authenticate via POP3 protocol. You may want to try this PHP class for that purpose:

Some resources are easily renewable and others aren't. If your log entries take up all your drive space (and you share a partition with other more valuable things), or you have a resource leak (memory, database connections, etc.), you can quickly grind your server to a halt.

Hi.... I've just made this script to update a binary file for my BIND 9 DNS server.

======================= $WorkFile = "domains/db.nom.za"; $buffer = file($WorkFile);

$DBfile = implode($buffer, ""); $DBfile = ereg_replace("$domain.nom.za. IN NS $fqdnold[0].", "$domain.nom.za. IN NS $fqdnnew[0].", $DBfile); $DBfile = ereg_replace("$domain.nom.za. IN NS $fqdnold[1].", "$domain.nom.za. IN NS $fqdnnew[1].", $DBfile); $DBfile = trim($DBfile)."\n";

$fp = fopen($WorkFile, 'w'); fwrite($fp, $DBfile); fclose($fp);

=======================

Basicall I want to find "dub.domain.com IN NS dns.example.com" and replace it with "dub.domain.com IN NS dns1.expample.com". Note the '1' and still maintain the format of the file...

My script keeps adding and extra line to every line even when I told it to trim.

Any please help

Did you even _try_ to do your own debugging before asking the list? You know what the problem is -- extra lines -- so where in your code are you adding extra lines (hint "\n").

Try using just '\n' not '\r\n' as notepad doesn't understand carriage returns, hence the funny little square.

Hi,

New to the list and hoping someone might be able to help me.

I have been using PHP scripts that are to maintain a company address book with a lot of data about contacts, both inside and outside the company. The scripts, which are generating html pages and reading input values back in, have been working fine with PHP 4.2.1 as a library module for apache 1.3.26 and openldap 1.2.13. However, openldap 2.0.23 and 25 have been generating errors with these same PHP scripts, specifically in the ldap_add() and ldap_modify() functions.

The problem comes when fields in the html pages are left empty, which is normal for this application. For those familiar with the ldap_add/modify functions in PHP, the array that is passed in has some values, say for example title, fax, mobile, ... left empty, and therefore NULL (I have checked, they really are NULL's stored in the array). When the values make it to the ldap server however, they appear to be no longer NULL's, but a "#0", and through debugging output on the ldap server, I have seen it is generating an "invalid per syntax" error.

The ldap servers have been complied from source and installed on a SuSE linux professional 7.3 system. Hardware resources are no problem (640Mb RAM, 2Gb swap, 800Mhz processor, 130Gb HDD space with 6Gb free on the working partition with this stuff)

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can address this problem. It is important that null values can make it into the ldap server as putting in other values to try to work around the problem will mess up other applications that use the ldap server, as will not inserting the fields into the ldap server.

Ian

The following code segment demonstrates the problem:

<?php $ds=ldap_connect("localhost"); // The LDAP server is on this host

if ($ds) { // bind with appropriate dn to give update access $r=ldap_bind($ds,"cn=ShnetAdmin, o=shnetdemo", "thepassword");

// prepare data $info["cn"]="John Jones"; $info["sn"]="Jones"; $info["mail"]=""; // <----- NULL VALUE HERE // The following lines also produce the same result....... //$info["mail"]=NULL; // <------- NULL value here //$info["mail"]="\0"; // <------- NULL value here //$info["mail"]; // <------- NULL value here $info["objectclass"]="person";

// add data to directory $r=ldap_add($ds, "cn=ShnetAdmin, o=shnetdemo", $info);

ldap_close($ds); } else { echo "Unable to connect to LDAP server"; } ?>

Which produces the following segment of debugging output on the ldap server, started with "slapd -d 255".

No, you didn't understand. I'll make a simpler example. Let's say I did use :

ErrorDocument 404 /phpinfo.php

/phpinfo.php exists, it just does phpinfo();

If I call http://localhost/dontexist?plop=foobar I will see the phpinfo, and I will see variables like :

REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES: File does not exist: /var/www/dontexist REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING: plop=foobar REDIRECT_REQUEST_METHOD: GET REDIRECT_STATUS: 404 etc

but $plop won't be set, and there is no way to get the variables back. In POST method I won't even see the REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING at all. So should this work, if not why, and is there a way to fix it ?

Thanks :)

I seem to remember some discussion about this ages ago - there was some difference between how ErrorDocument works in httpd.conf and .htaccess - you might try the latter and see if there is a different result.

Then again, I might not be remembering correctly, so ...

Well it could have been it, but it doesn't work neither trying to set the ErrorDocument into a .htaccess file.

The problem is I am not even sure where is the trouble, and if it should work or not (I guess it should), so I don't know exactly where to ask, the dev list maybe ?

I seem to remember from when I was toying around with this that $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] was still available. Even if $_GET isn't populated you could manually parse the REQUEST_URI. Of course I may be misremembering... If it's not available on your install let me know and I'll setup a test case on my server...

Well it still is in GET method because the url does still exist with the ?plop=foobar but in case I want to use POST method (which I will as my form has huge textarea) everything disappear. Also this is a turn around I don't like, I would first understand why it doesn't work, and if I can fix it.

In my opinion, certification doesn't count for much. The Microsoft certs are proof enough of this, but even many of the Linux certs are pretty shallow when you look at what they cover and how they're tested. Most employers know that you can either do it or you can't.

Anecdote: I once asked a networking/hardware professional whether a RedHat certificate would make me more employable in his eyes. No way was his answer, he was more interested in what I could demonstrably do (and had already done) than in the paper.

I don't have any advice about how to get into the industry. I have only just joined it after working 10 years as a teacher. I started building sites for community groups, built web apps for schools, got a few paid commercial jobs, built up a portfolio, and finally got a fulltime web development job at a tertiary institution.

The ease/difficulty of getting into the industry probably depends greatly on economic circumstances. But I know that in my case, knowing Linux, Apache and PHP/MySQL (plus demonstrable experience, not necessarily commercial) was what clinched it for me. Where I live (NT, Australia), Linux really is making inroads into the mainstream.

One thing that might look good on a CV is involvement in an open source project, at whatever level.

I can't think of a way to do it in the page itself... Unfortunately (there could be a way, I just can't think of it - frazzled after a day of work), but if you're using forms on your page, then set the values of some hidden form elements to the JS variables you want to use, and pass them along. You could have the page refresh itself to give you the variables, too. I'm sure there's a better way, though. Good luck,

one method that i have found works for me (albeit not so pretty, neat, or concise) is to pass js variables through a url request. Ok follow me for a little if you will (it's bulky, but it works!)

1) user loads a page (e.g. your-domain.com/index.phtml) that page contains the javascript which determines the user's browser width and height. 2) the page automatically refreshes immediately to another page along with the variables (e.g. /index2.phtml?h=xyz&w=abc). 3) on the new page, php can use the variables passed via the URL as if it were posted with the GET method from a form.

ok, i admit it's messy, not ideal, and lame, but it works.

Since I don't know a fraction of what the php gurus here know, the programming on my site may be messy, bulky, and more complicated than it needs to be- but at least it gets the job done : )

hope it helps

Hello,

I'm trying to understand module init/shutdown of PHP and Apache httpd configuration.

Server version: Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) httpd.conf: StartServers 8 PHP 4.2.1

I just added log messages to init/shutdown function of XML module:

PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(xml) {

char msg[1024]; sprintf(msg,"%d - XML: MINIT CALLED!", getpid()); zend_error(E_WARNING, msg); ... }

PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(xml) { char msg[1024]; sprintf(msg,"%d - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED!", getpid()); zend_error(E_WARNING, msg); ... }

Then when httpd is started, following messages appears: [18-Jul-2002 10:12:03] PHP Warning: 5607 - XML: MINIT CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:12:03] PHP Warning: 5610 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:12:09] PHP Warning: 5610 - XML: MINIT CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 ...

Now, shutdown httpd (there are 9 calls):

... [18-Jul-2002 10:13:54] PHP Warning: 5619 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:54] PHP Warning: 5618 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:54] PHP Warning: 5617 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:54] PHP Warning: 5616 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:54] PHP Warning: 5615 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:54] PHP Warning: 5614 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:55] PHP Warning: 5613 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:55] PHP Warning: 5612 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0 [18-Jul-2002 10:13:55] PHP Warning: 5610 - XML: MSHUTDOWN CALLED! in Unknown on line 0

Is above right behaviour? I think that should be something like:

MINIT is called once with process id P1, for example when httpd is started. MSHUTDOWN is called once with same pid P1, when httpd is shutdown. I also checked global init/shutdown functions but it seems like not used at the moment.

How can I make Apache and PHP work just like I want?

Cheers,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you guys are talking about here, but it seems to me that you believe that including a block of code and calling it as a function are just two different approaches to the same thing, and nothing more. It's true that they can be very similar, but I think you are overlooking one of the major benefits of functions.

You speak of passing variables and making them global as if it were simply a necessary evil. Have you stopped to consider that there are times that variable scope works in your favor? There are times when you do NOT want variable $a inside a function to be the same as variable $a outside of it.

Functions (and classes) are all about code modularization. Let us say that you have a particular set of code that you know you are going to need to execute several times. So you decide to put it in an external file and include() that code whenever you need it. In this case, all of the variables you use inside that code are global. But, this is not a problem because you are aware of which variables are in use, so there are no conflicts.

But let us say that later on you, or some other programmer entirely, want to use your code again in a completely different program. Now, because all of your variables are global, you (or they) have to stop and think...."now lets see, this code references $var_a and $var_b...am I using those variables already for other purposes?" If the new program is already using those variables, for some other purpose altogether, then suddenly your included code has clobbered those variables, and now you have bugs. You have introduced a namespace conflict, and this is an example of poorly seperated functionality.

The whole idea behind modularization is that you are creating a "black box" so to speak, a chunk of code that performs one function, and one function only. It should present a *minimal* interface to the outside world. This means that if I have a black box that say, gives me the current local time in a particular timezone, I should be able to feed it the name of the timezone, and it should give me back the current time. I should NOT have to know how it works inside, or care. I feed it one value, and it returns another value. Now, if I have implemented this code as a simple block that is include()'ed, now I suddenly have to concern myself with how it works...i.e. I have to know, if nothing else, what variable names it is expecting, and I have to make sure that I am not clobbering any of those variables inside my main script.

As far as I know, every non-trivial programming language (or scripting language) has the concept of variable scope. It behaves differently, but the concept is still there. For example, in Perl, a variable that is referenced in a function (or subroutine) is global by default, unless you use the "my" keyword, which makes it only visible inside the subroutine. PHP is backwards from this...it defaults to assuming you want a local copy of the variable, and only makes it global if you tell it to. But imagine if there was no such concept as variable scope, and all variables were global. We'd end up with variables names like $a3t463tew34 just to make sure we're not conflicting with another named variable...

If you're saying that you have a group of variables, let us say 10 or 15 or so, that you want to be global EVERYWHERE, then there are easy ways to accomplish that, and still retain the clean seperation of functionality that a function or a class would give you. I would put the names of the variables inside an array and then globalize them by iterating through the array. Example:

$superglobals = array("var1", "var2", "var3", "var4", "var5", "...");

Now inside the function you can do this:

function somefunction ($somevar) {

global $superglobals; foreach($superglobals as $varname) { global $$varname; //resolves to $var1, $var2, $var3, etc. }

//Other stuff here

}

If I have completely misunderstood the thread here, please forgive my rambling post. :-)

To add to this. If you're passing too many values to a function, then maybe that function isn't broken down enough. I remember hearing/reading that if you need to pass more than, I think, 5 or 6 values to a function, then you're passing too many.

Assuming register_globals is off:

session_start(); foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $name => $value) { $$name = $value; session_register($name); }

Remember, $name only contains the name of the variable, not a reference to the variable itself. To create a new global variable with the name "$name", you have to use a variable variable, hence $$name.

Session_register, however, only requires a string which contains the name of the variable you want to register. $name will provide that by itself. In your example, by leaving off the dollar sign, you are referencing an undefined constant called "name"...

Yes. The topics you'll want to look at (in the PCRE chapter of the manual) are: case-sensitivity, character classes, capturing subpatterns, and the documentation for preg_replace_callback(). One of the things you'll need to do is define for yourself what constitutes a "word" for your purposes. Does a single letter word get counted as a "word" (i.e. "i")? Is there any non-alphabet character that can validly appear within the thing you call a word (i.e. "hi-fi", "mst3k")? This is why there's no single ready-made solution.

> Also is there one for removing multiple spaces? > > i..e given "A B C D E" it would give "A B C D E".

Yes. Again, character classes will be your friend, as will preg_replace(). Just decide which of the whitespace characters you mean to include in that definition of "multiple spaces"...

Before preg_replace_callback() was introduced, preg_replace() used to have another an "f" modifier which had similar functionality. I'm not sure whether that modifier was available back in PHP3, but here's the relevant quote about "f" from an old set of PCRE Syntax docs:

If I recall correctly (which I may not), an example would look something like this:

$output=preg_replace("/(\w+)/f","'***' . strtolower($1) . '***'",$input);

Hi,

I have generated a .csv file from a .dat file using a VB program. Now this .csv file needs to be imported into my mySQL Database Table on the internet, using phpMyAdmin.

The problem i'm facing is that the file, while uploading, stops somewhere in the middle. The upload just gets stuck.

Possible reasons :

1. Number of rows is too large. About 100000. Does mySQL Support these many rows? Is yes, is it possible to upload these many rows from a client to a table on the internet using phpMyadmin?

2. Internet connection. Due to the mere size of the file in terms of no. or rows, maybe my internet is not able to send all the data. I dont' know.

Now can anyone suggest a possibly solution? Can i break up the file automatically and send or something?

Please help..

First off, does your mysql DB allow you to connect remotly (not including phpmyadmin). If so, I'd suggest www.anse.de/mysqlfront, and use that to connect to the database, and import the .csv through that. I can see the file maybe not fully uploading, due to possibly the max file size in php, as 100,000 rows of data must be approaching at least 1mb (might be wrong there too, depends on the data).

But, if you have the mysql terminal software installed on your localhost, and your host/user combo is permitted to log in to the database, you can log in to the database from your machine. Something like:

mysqlimport -h remote.host.com -u username -p databasename file.txt

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_MySQL_Database_Administration.html#mysqlimport

Otherwise, break up the file into smaller pieces and see how that works.

For starters, this is a PHP list, not MySQL.

Check out the LIMIT statement in the MySQL manual.

Or, if you have a primary key field like id and you KNOW that id#2 will be there, then it's a simple

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id='2'

But in the case where id#2 has been deleted, you really want to pull out id#3, the new second rown in the table... in which case you'd use limit

make sense?

Probably you don't have the Register Global turned on in your php.ini, try using $_GET['usernm'] and $_GET['passwd'] or change your php.ini

Simple.. just edit your php.ini file in your windows directory. Search for "register_globals" .. it will have "Off" in front of it.. switch it to "On"

I am planning to setup a web server of using RedHat Linux. The purpose of the web server is to provide product information for only registered customers. I plan to send the HASP parallel port keylock to the registered customers. Can I use PHP to monitor the status HASP parallel port keylock in the client side? Is there any idea for ensuring the website piracy? Thanks!

No you can't. PHP is server-side and has no access to client machines. You could _maybe_ do it with JavaScript and then pass on the info to PHP with a redirect or something like that.

Same server - it has parameter $imapcon which can be assumed as connection to one server only.

Imap functions is just interface for IMAP protocol.

In my very limited Linux experience I found out that if you just ignore the RPMs and install the tarballs in instead everything works great. It's what I usually do.

If you cannot avoid using RPMs you might want to check for the --force option. But IMHO it's stupid to waste the solid experience you already have.

I have a simple script that attempts to upload a file and save it on the server. When I click send file I get this error message 'Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/upload.php on line 5 Couldn't copy the file!'. The file is being uploaded from a Win 2000 machine and the php script live on an apache web server on a linux box. I have chmod 777 the 'image' directory. Any ideas? Here's the code -

-- upload.html -- <html> <head> <title>Upload a File</title> </head>

<body>

<h1>Upload a File</h1>

<p><strong>File to Upload:</strong><br> <input type="file" name="img1" size="30"></p>

</form> </body>

</html>

-- upload.php -- <?php

if ('img1' != "") {

copy($img1_tmp_name, "images/".$img1_name) or die("Couldn't copy the file!");

} else {

die("No input file specified"); }

'img1' is a string and will never be empty. You probably mean if($img1 != "") However, I'm not sure this will work in this case.

Try this instead. (Taken straight from the PHP-manual. A real good resource!)

<?php if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['img1']['tmp_name'])) { $filename = $_FILES['img1']['tmp_name']; print "$filename was uploaded successfuly"; $realname = $_FILES['img1']['name']; print "realname is $realname"; print "copying file to uploads dir"; copy($_FILES['img1']['tmp_name'], "/place/to/put/" . $realname); } else { echo "Possible file upload attack: filename" . $_FILES['img1']['name'] . "."; } ?>

If you use PHP < 4.1.0 you must exchange $_FILES to $HTTP_POST_FILES

Hi I'm doing some reading on sessions and how it works etc, and have a concern (which is probably fed by my ignorance on the topic). The couple of "simple session examples" I have found in the PHP/MySQL book by Luke Welling & Laura Thompson gives a simple 3 page session example where the session is started on the first page, a variable is registered as a session var and then has a link to the next page where the session_start() is called and the session_var is echoed to illustrate the workings of a session. My understanding is that PHP will either use cookies to store the session ID on the client's pc, or send it via URL, so, assuming that cookies is a no-go, can I now assume that PHP will attach it's session ID to each and every URL located on my .php page? The reason I'm asking is as follow: I did the little excersise, and then deliberately rejected my browsers call to process the cookie, and then the script didn't return the variable as it did previously... And now, assuming that I can assume that PHP will attach the SID to all URL's , how does it know to which URL's to attach, or am I supposed to manually attach them, leaving me with another question, If I have to manually code the SID into the URL, then the whole session "coockies if possible" approach doesn't seem to work???

Can someone explain it in more detail for me plz? Thanks

attached mail follows:

Taken straigh from the manual: (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php)

[quote] There are two methods to propagate a session id:

- Cookies

- URL parameter

The session module supports both methods. Cookies are optimal, but since they are not reliable (clients are not bound to accept them), we cannot rely on them. The second method embeds the session id directly into URLs.

PHP is capable of doing this transparently when compiled with --enable-trans-sid. If you enable this option, relative URIs will be changed to contain the session id automatically. Alternatively, you can use the constant SID which is defined, if the client did not send the appropriate cookie. SID is either of the form session_name=session_id or is an empty string. [/quote]
