I've never had a use for it untill now, wanting to charge a customer for massive
uploads via file_upload forms... transfer that is not recorded in the apache
logs and therefor not collected for billable bandwidth (while still preserving
IP addresses and avoiding a ipfw counting per IP). Probably a requirement with
limited scope.

thus the interim solution of having PHP write to a seperate log file, then doing
a merge/sort during rotation time.

Will look into it to see if something can be presented without creating more
problems than the solution is worth.

attached mail follows:

Well, I think the solutions or ideas are maybe a bit too involved.
I was hoping that the errors I am interested in were already logged by
default to some obscure location, and I *could* if needed just go and
scrutinize them by hand.
But, it seems like a detailed (specially mysql) error log does not exist
and thus cannot be scrutinized.
Reading some of the possible solutions regarding adding error_log()
functions to existing code leads me to believe that it could be easier
to maybe incorporate those functions into PHP by means of a switch in
php.ini, one could theoretically have two sets of functions, a
mysql_query() for "normal" use that acts as we all know it, and another
mysql_query() (yes, with the same name), that has the error_log()
function call built into it, and the one that gets used is determined by
the (lets call it) mysql_error_log = on in php.ini.
This way, the entire thing will be transparent to both users and
existing/future code.
Granted, I have no idea how PHP is coded "behind the scenes" and if
something like this is even possible, it's simply an idea, and hopefully
some of the more learned people on this list will be able to comment on
the feasability of something like that.

Hi,

I'm currently locked in a battle with PHP and file uploads. I've
searched the list to no avail. I actually found a guy with the same
problem who ended up using perl to make this work. I'm trying to avoid
that.

The problem is, I'm dealing with huge POST uploads (100+ mb). And
everytime you upload a file it stores it in RAM and then dumps the file
to the drive. Is there any way around this? This is extremely
dangerous. Since this customer may have multiple people uploading at
the same time, it could result in a massive memory hit over a long
period of time.

Now I figured PHP would pipe the POST stream into a temporary file
instead of holding it in RAM. This is how it should work right?

_Any_ help would be appreciated before I have to recode this section in
perl.

Thank you greatly in advance! If you live close to me, drinks are on me! :)

Take care everyone,

-reid

Apparently that is how it will work in a _future_ version of PHP. But for now
it's all stuffed in RAM until the complete file is received.

That's crazy. Maybe I don't understand enough of how PHP deals with various web servers and maybe that's why this is the way it is. But man... the way it's done is _very_ silly.

Anyway, thanks for the update Jason.

I am new to using PHP on RedHat 7.3 and am running into a problem with ldap_connect(). When I attempt to run ldap_connect, I get the error:

Call to undefined function: ldap_connect()

The system I am working on has the default install of Redhat 7.3 with Apache version "Apache/1.3.23". It has been suggested to me that I need to recompile either PHP and/or Apache and am still quite new to this. The PHP configure command is:

I am sure that I will eventually figure this out, but in the interim was hoping to gain the advice of others who have previously solved this problem and/or might be able to point me in the right direction.

I will find out about the "phpinfo()". I have looked at the options in cURL and I haven't seen one that would enable it to get the certificate from the credit bureau. I will keep checking. Um, I have used cURL with the credit bureau #2 and they send the encryption packages over and all I had to do is to put it on the PHP webserver and have cURL use it. This make it possible to authenticate to the credit bureau #2. Alright, I'm going to give it a call to the credit bureau #1 to request an encryption packages. Hopefully, they won't say, "what????". :-)

I'd like to post a follow-up to my previous message on this subject. Please still CC me when replying, thanks.

New test code:

" <?php session_start();

if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter'])) { $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter'] = 1; } else { $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter']++; } if (!isset($counter2)) { session_register('counter2'); $counter2 = 1; } else { $counter2++; }

if (!isset($_SESSION['counter3'])) { $_SESSION['counter3'] = 1; } else { $_SESSION['counter3']++; }

echo(sprintf("You have visited this page %d times!", $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter']) . " "); echo(sprintf("You have visited this page %d times!", $counter2) . " "); echo(sprintf("You have visited this page %d times!", $_SESSION['counter3']) . " "); ?> "

Tried these on PHP 4.0.6 (register_globals = On): - counter: doesn't work - counter1: works - counter2: doesn't work (to be expected)

PHP 4.2.2 (register_globals = Off): None of the counters work; same when register_globals = On

I'm really puzzled by this; could someone please point me in the right direction?

Your problem is very simple. You're beginning a new session every execution, without checking if a session is already going. So every time it comes back around it's looking for the variables in the current session, which every time just began.

Check for an existing session first like:

if(!(session_id())) session_start();

I alway knew there is an easier way to do that. Problem is just don't know it. I like your example and it is an wonderful example. I can use it. One quick question. The function, "posttofunction()", is that a make-believe function? I check PHP.net and it doesn't have this function, so I assume you just put it there to make a point about the whole script.

You've got a slow computer and/or you type too slow ;-)

For me it was a case of 'typing' in 6 commands:

1) download php 2) untar it 3) cd 4) configure 5) make 6) make install

Actually I just copy and pasted those commands which took me all of 5 seconds to do. So unless you count the download and compilation time, 12 systems in 10 minutes is in the ballpark.

For me the key to upgrading many servers is to compile once then copy the resulting files to all my other servers. I also compile Apache + mod_ssl + PHP static into one file so usually all I have to do is copy the httpd file to the other machines.

The machines need similar CPUs and identical library versions, but that isn't too hard to do. With Linux it is legal to copy in the new httpd file then apachectl restart to update the server.

Prolly a silly question, but I have a session process that never really ends as it is supposed to allow the user to carry on submitting etc.

So I don't know where and when to end the session, and if it is really nescessary to end a session?

Obviously a logout button will do the trick, but what about aborting users that don't bother to logout? I presume a session will have a timeout value? If so, how does this work? Surely there can't be a physical time allowed for a session to stay alive? What about if I want to have an intranet application that could ( and preferably should) be able to be open indefinately?

Just checkout the session section of the manual and you will find you can set the timeout to what you want.

PHP redirects using the header() function, but it's not very useful if information has already been sent to the browser. ANY information, including a hard return. So if you have a login script, you would start your session, register any variables, then redirect.

<?php header("Location: index.php"); ?>

That would do the trick. But like I said, once the parser begins to write HTML to the browser, then you can no longer send HTTP headers.

If you start your script IMMEDIATELY (well before you output anything) with:

<?php ob_start();

This will buffer output so you can use your header anywhere in your script

and then if you weren't redirected then you send the output with

Yes, it is pretty safe to run ./configure more than once. The 1st time, it create the config.cache and so on. The 2nd time, it use the config.cache and other stuffs instead of starting from scratch. To redo everything from scratch. I believe one of those config.* files need to be removed so you can start again from scratch, not sure which files that need to be delete. But don't delete the original file, config or configure.

Second of all, the list you provided to me. I noticed it is a link file, not a source file because of hte L before rwx. The first three links that point to the 4th file. The fouth file is a link that aren't pointed to anything, so it meant it is a link without a file. That may be why you got the error.

I always rm config.cache before rebuilding with new options so the configure script will pick up the right libraries and new options.

Why don't you just install a copy on the server? If the only access you have is through the mysql monitor program then you must have shell access so installing your own copy of phpMyAdmin should not be an issue.

It's not normal that I've come across. Any hosting company I've ever dealt with (albeit not many, still three different ones), have all offered phpMyAdmin for interfacing with MySQL. And honestly, if the host REQUIRES you to do it, then they aren't worth hosting with. You'll find that will transcend into other areas of how they do business (i.e. technical support tickets, etc).

Currently I'm hosting with http://www.websytz.com, and they have good prices. Another of my sites is on http://www.dzones.com, and they're very good as well.

WebSytz' control panel flat out sucks, but it's usable. DZones has an incredible control panel, but they just didn't have the price I wanted for my current website. There's plenty out there, and since you pay monthly, you lose nothing by switching to another company. The choice is yours.

When they say, "install it on your workstation" are you sure they mean your desktop computer? phpMyAdmin is not a normal install on your desktop (unless you run a server with PHP and MySQL on your desktop, which you may do)

It's very straight-forward to install phpMyAdmin on your web site. And yes, there are severe security implications to consider. You should protect the phpMyAdmin install with either an .htaccess file, or using the "authentication method" to "http" of phpMyAdmin (I'm not sure that's exactly what it's called... but it's close)

If you leave the install of phpMyAdmin unprotected, your database is completely vulnerable.

I can almost guarantee that it's not the second line that is "failing", the problem here is that $result is not containing naything, and that is normally due to the fact that you are not connecting to the db, or the table "tablename" is not there.

I use the following format as my "standard" MySQL connect and query snippet:

$link = mysql_connect("localhost",$username,$password) or die ('Could not connect!'); // suppresses the default error message generated by this function and the "or die()" bit kills the script right then and there should it not be able to connect. mysql_select_db("YOUR_DB_NAME",$link); $sql = "select * from your_table_name"; if ( $result = mysql_query($sql)) { // checks to see if $result contains anything before it even tries to fetch an associative array from it. $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); } else { echo "Empty result set!";

Note also that I use mysql_fetch_assoc and NOT mysql_fecth_array, as 9 out of 10 times, you don't need the array element id's that is returned by mysql_fetch_array.

Try using mysql_query(); instead of mysql_db_query(); The SQL query is the first parameter in this function. The second parameter is a pointer connecting to the mysql server. The pointer is generated by mysql_connect() and you'll also need to select the database with mysql_select_db(). But it's the standard way..

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password"); // connect to mysql server mysql_select_db("mytable", $db); // select database by name $query = "SELECT * FROM mytable ORDER BY id"; // define query to submit $result = mysql_query($query, $db); // submit query if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) // skip if no rows were found { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // .. do whtever.. } } mysql_close($db);

It's also a common practice to put the first couple of lines in a file to include() back into your main script so that you can protect your useranme and password.

Good luck. -Kevin

You beat me too the punch and I think you explained it better than me, but just one minor little thing to note. Where you said..

"if ( $result = mysql_query($sql)) "

This is not a valid way to check if the query has returned anything. mysql_query() returns FALSE on error. So if there was no error but there also wasn't anything returned then the object stored in $result wiill more than likely evaluate to TRUE. For the determining factor you should count the number of rows with mysql_num_rows($result). If the returned value is zero then you know it hasn't returned anything.

Shouldn't it be:

$result = mysql_query($sql, $link_id);

PHP will be quick to tell you that there is a missing link identifier in the mysql_query() call. It's happened to me plenty of times. HTH!

Actually mysql_query should default to the last database connection opened if no link identifier has been specified. So the link identifier to not absolutely required.

It's a very good idea to add some error checking code it'll save you a lot of grief. See examples in manual for details.

Well I think you were correct about not connecting to the db, but I don't understand why. I wrote another little script just to test the connection.

<?php

$link = mysql_connect("servername","username","password") or die("Couldn't make connection."); $diditwork = mysql_select_db("news", $link);

if ($diditwork <> FALSE) { echo "got the db..yeahhhh!"; echo $link; } else { echo "didnt get db...booooo"; echo $link; } ?>

This returns "didnt get db...booooooResource id #1

I don't understand how I can get a resource ID but then not be able to use the "news" database. Like I described earlier, this happens with my other db as well. I can connect to the db through the console or any other client I have on the physical server and do whatever I want with the db's, I'm just having problems with php.

I use the following format as my "standard" MySQL connect and query snippet:

Note also that I use mysql_fetch_assoc and NOT mysql_fecth_array, as 9 out of 10 times, you don't need the array element id's that is returned by mysql_fetch_array.

That should definitely be working. Only thing I can think of is that you're database name isn't correct. You're certain "news" is the full name of the database.. I mean it's not "news_com" or something like that? The $link must be valid becuase the script isn't ending with "Couldn't make connection". So that just leaves the mysql_select_db() function. And the only thing that will make that function return FALSE is if it can't find the database name for that user on the specified server. -Kevin

I encountered that same timeout problem once, and I wound up just installing my own copy of PhpMyAdmin in an .htaccess protected directory on the server, and extending the time limit there. It only took about 10 minutes to set up, and as an added bonus it was a more recent version of PhpMyAdmin than the one the host provided. :)

With phpMyAdmin, just scroll down until you see the dumping section. Select the appropriate information, tick the "save as file" box, then "Go". It'll prompt you to save the file. You just use that file, then, as a query to your next database.

You might want to consider a slightly different approach - that being to use your php code to generate a delimited file of your data and use either mysqlimport from the command line if you can, or the LOAD DATA INFILE sql statement to load the file into your database. That's going to be a lot faster than running 13000 queries through your php script.

What problem specifically are you having? Not clear on what issue you are having?

Displaying the carriage returns?

if you use nl2br($textarea_input) function then this will convert all carriage returns to tags to properly display HTML. Is that what you are looking for?

i use seconds in place of time alot. using the PHP time() function and Date() functions u can do a lot.

instead of a time / date TIMESTAMP field type i use an INT type i then call the $the_time = Time(); and insert that. then u can manipulate the hell outta that INT value from the DB with php's Date() function.

allows u to compare lengths between times and perform much simplier numeric math on the values rather then the 'calender' math. somethings can be trickier like Leaps and stuff, but i found more pors for most of my application needs.

Same data sizes : INT or TIMESTAMP in mysql are 4 bytes and they both give u down to the second.

then to find out today, u just run Date('m-d-Y'); compare those vals to Date('m-d-Y', $DB_VALUE);

there u go.... it is today or it isnt ! out put data accordingly.

I am not sure it works, since isn't tested, but here we go. It's pure Mysql, and it would be probaly easier, faster, and more readable to do with PHP mixed. But where's the fun of it? ;-)

date_field is the name of your date column.

$sql = "SELECT IF(DAYOFMONTH(date_field) = DAYOFMONTH(CURRENT_DATE), 'Today', IF (date_field = DATE_SUB(date_field, INTERVAL 1 DAYS), 'Yesterday', date_field)) FROM table"....

If the date isn't today or yesterday, you will get the date_field contents.

How fast/big is the surfer's computer?

It's the work on THEIR side that matters.

PHP can spew out 813 shots pretty quickly.

For that matter, if the movie itself is static, you can use PHP to just prepare the 813 shots "off-line" and paste it in.

How fast will JavaScript handle the 813-element array is entirely up to the browser/JavaScript computer, not your web-server or PHP.

Turns out the \'s that I was having problems getting rid of were written there from a form post that was used to collect the data. I still haven't found a way to remove them after reading them from the file, but I did manage to change them before they were posted by doing a strtr.

If someone has a way to clearn \'s out of a string brought in from a file, I'm all ears, but it's working now.

If the "\" are showing up in form posted data just do this:

$newtext = stripslashes($oldtext);

The slashes are put before any single or double quote by a nifty little php feature called "magic quotes". By escaping quotes in form posted data you greatly reduce the risk of sql injections and other types of sneaky stuff.

Understood, and as I said before, I'm fairly new to PHP, so I'm bound to make the boneheaded mistakes. But I did try and solve it myself before begging for help :)

Basically, the user enteres some text into a form, posted to a script that catches the data and appends their name and text to the end of a file. Then, on another function on another page, I'm reading that line in and regurgitating it onto a page to generate a list of the last 20 posters and their comment.

$myLine = fgets($myFile,255); print("$myLine \n");

That's it. I figured between those two lines would be something like

$myLine = (stripslashes($myLine));

Which I tried, in several variations depending on which page I was looking at for help. I also tried using strtr instead. Neither of those would remove the slashes before the line was printed to the page. I even tried using a new variable name, as in

$fauxText = (stripslashes($myLine));

in case PHP had some kind of quirk about variables tweaking themselves.

The file that's being read is plain text, btw. So if you want to try and duplicate, just read from a text file.

But, like I said, using stripslashes *before* writing to the file fixes it regardless.

attached mail follows:

> If the "\" are showing up in form posted data just do this: > > $newtext = stripslashes($oldtext);

That's what I'm doing now before they're written to the file.

Right. And what I was also trying to do was keep users from posting characters that would mess up the data being written to the page. It's for a limited audience, but you never know who's going to stumble onto it.

Thanks for that.

It certainly looks like nuking them preemptively is the way to go.

No, I agree with the RTFM statement. A simple search for "remove slashes" on php.net would have resulted in links to all the slashes functions, including stripslashes().

Then you could have tested it using this function, and posted a more meaningful message like:

"I have a file in my disk hierarchy which seems to have \'s added to it, possibly from a form post or something... any ideas how I strip them out? I've tried doing it with stripslashes() using the following code, but it isn't working."

Then we could have checked out your code, and offered more help.

In any way, this code should strip slashes out of a file:

<? $file = "mydir/myfile.txt"; if(file_exists($file)) { // get contents of a file into a string $fd = fopen ($file, "r"); $txt = fread ($fd, filesize($file)); fclose ($fd); $txt = stripslashes($txt); } else { $txt = "File {$file} could not be found"; }

echo $txt; ?>

Which, incidently, was adapted from a sample script in the file section (fread I think) of the PHP manual :P

I know a few of us tend to just reply with RTM all the time, but in reality, it helps you form better questions, and helps you understand your own problem a little better. More often than not, a decent sample script is available for what you want, either in the manual, or in the user contributed notes... but if you at least look at the manual first, you'll be more likely to get good responses, because you post better questions like:

"I've tried to stripslashes using the following code, but it aint working... any ideas?"

... which make it a lot easier to help you.

Mysql 4 can cache queries. You can try using temporary tables, so you can break up joins.

Also, perhaps making a "rawdata" table placeholder. Put a timestamp field on your columns. Make the query and store somewhere the query itself, the results and the time they were last modified. Then when the next query comes, compare if one already exists on the database. If so, only grab the "rawdata", ie, the previous results.

And read Mysql's manual section about optimization if you haven't done so already, since it has important tips.

Are you trying to upload the same image as you did at home? If so, size isn't the problem if you can do it from home. It might be a timeout issue. There might be something in php.ini you can set for timeout. You can specify the max filesize to upload in php.ini also.

You need to look at the differences between your server and the live one.

The only real way to test is to have both you AND another tester (preferably on a slow computer with 56k connection) to try uploading the SAME IMAGE FILE to both servers.

This will rule out problems with the data type (eg blob).

Then test with larger images/files.

Likely problems will be:

- the file size is too big, and the PHP script is timing out before it can finish (check php.ini for differences in script timeouts)

- there is a maximum file size for uploaded files on the server, which is different to

- the file isn't too big, but the script is still timing out (check php.ini for differences in script timeouts)

- the 56k connection (different to your office set-up) means that files upload way too slow, or get interrupted

If possible you should compare your php.ini to the one of the live server, and try to match them up, which will help.

OK - after you do 'make' is there a file libphp4.so in the lib directory under where you unpacked the install tarball? If not, something has apparently gone wrong with the make process or the configure; you might check (I think it is) config.log in the top of the install directory for any clues.

I'm not sure, but it might be --enable-track-vars (unless that is a typo); check with configure --help | grep track

If they are being used in a function you will need to do: function whatever(){ global $HTTP_POST_VARS; . . . }

Hi.

I've got this script that needs to take for examle 02 and increase that to 03. but when i run the script $Num++; it changes 03 to 3;

is there not a function that adds leading zeros onto a string ?

attached mail follows:

you could use: printf("%02d", ++$Num); or if you want to put it back into $Num, use the sprintf() version

have a look at the sprintf() function for full info:

sprintf("value = %02d", $value);

Hi,

what's the best way to log the bad email address' from a mail() loop?

my guess is:

<? $log = ''; $to = 'memy.com'; $subj = 'foo'; $msg = 'blah'; $head = 'From: memy.com';

if(!mail($to,$sub,$msg,$head)) { $log .= "{$to}\n"; }

// write $log to screen, or to a file ?>

But I'm interested in people's experience with what mail() returns: From the manual: "mail() returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise."

Is the definition of "accepted for delivery" dependent on each server, or is there are general definition of what it means?

ie, when am I likely to get a returned value of FALSE?

Also, I'm on a shared server. Is there any way I can specify the email address that bounces return to with either an ini_set or with an email header?

Because my assumption is that there will be email address' that return TRUE, but later bounce.

Can't see what it might be in the php.ini file though.

Thanks in advance,

Justin French
