Use "rtfm" sparingly. Treat it as a last resort; a secret weapon. Reserve it for people who ask really dumb questions like "how do I use sessions", or "how do I use mysql", or something general like that, when you know damn well they have not even tried to find out anything on their own.

Jeez. How do you like your help to be given to to?

By saying 'rftm' that is not helping? It's blindingly obvious from the question that the section of the manual to look up would be the chapter on functions.

So to be helpful I should go and copy-paste bits of the manual in my reply?

A substantial number of questions to this list can/should be answered with 'rtfm'. Only recently someone said "why read the manual when it's quicker to ask the list and have some sucker do my homework for me" (or words to that effect).

I'm with Jason on this one... it's reasonably easy to figure out by looking in the manual, reading the section/chapter on functions. it took me about 15 seconds to find the relevant paragraphs and examples:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php

JJ Harrison, look under "default argument values" heading on the above page, and you'll see your answer.

Hello,

I am afraid this is going to be a major fiasco. The idea is good but the meetup site is very badly implemented. It is very confusing. It is very hard to find how to choose a different city from those that are suggested.

When you finally realize that the closest city is too far away from where you live, you have an hard time to discover how to suggest a different city. When you think you have found to how to suggest a new city and do it, it seems that you're suggestion is being ignored.

Is there really anybody behind this site? It seems that it was something that somebody did but is not really maintaining it.

Another point is the choice of the day of the week is not very fortunate either because most people that work can't attend during weekdays. Even Friday night would have been a better idea.

Anyway, it shows that for the small numbers of users that subscribed to the various sites are just a reflex of how badly organized the initiative is. It is a pity. Maybe it should be better to organize something independent of the Meetup site which is only forcing inconvenient constraints of place and day of the week.

Hi,

Does anyone have examples on how to use cookies with PHP? I'm just getting into this and would like to know the difference between stored cookies and non-stored per session cookies. Does PHP support both?

Any helpful URL's would be appreciated.

Thanks, Don

Cookies are stored on the client. Sessions are stored on the server and expires (at the latest) when browser is closed.

> Does PHP support both?

A look at the manual would tell you yes.

That is the Apache directive to compile in the module I think. Using apxs will make a DSO. http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/dso.html

Hi all,

I just coded a cache mechanism for some slow code that looks like this:

$cache_file_name = "cache/$id/$tid". ($showall ? '_all.php' : '.php'); $cache_dir_name= "cache/$id"; if(!file_exists($cache_file_name) || filectime($cache_file_name) + 30 < time() ) { if(!is_dir($cache_dir_name)) { mkdir($cache_dir_name, 0777); } $lock=fopen($cache_file_name . '.lock','w'); if(flock($lock,LOCK_EX)) { include('modules/rally_live/create_cache.php'); flock($lock,LOCK_UN); } fclose($lock); } clearstatcache(); for($i=0;!file_exists($cache_file_name);$i++) { if($i==3) die('<b>Cannot read cache file!</b>'); clearstatcache(); } include($cache_file_name); // *sometimes includes empty file* echo "";

The 'create_cache.php' creates a php code, that later needs to be executed. The problem is, the just created cache file seems to be empty *sometimes* when included, however, if I look at it, it does contain code. I do call fflush($cache_file) before closing it, so I don't see why the file is empty. If anyone can help me, I would be really glad.

Hi all,

I'm trying to generate dynamic buttons with text from mysql database. Everything is fine except that the images are displaying very slow in Netscape 4.7. Internet Explorer, Netscape 6 and Mozilla are very fast. I'm running Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.2.2, GD 1.6.2 on Linux. Also, I have the same scripts running in Windows 2000 and I don't have this problem with Netscape. The following are the scripts:

image.php: <? $s = $_GET[s]; $text = $_GET[text]; $fontfile = "bonzai.ttf";

Header("Content-type: image/png"); if(!isset($s)) $s=11; $size = imagettfbbox($s,0,$fontfile,$text); $dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]); $dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]); $xpad=5; $ypad=5; $im = imagecreate($dx+$xpad,$dy+$ypad); $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,255,255); $red = ImageColorAllocate($im, 255,0,0); $black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);

ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)-1, $dy+(int)($ypad/2)-1, $black, $fontfile, $text); ImagePNG($im); ImageDestroy($im); ?>

button.php: <html> <body topmargin="5" leftmargin="5" marginheight="5" marginwidth="5" bgcolor="#FAFAFA"> <table border="0" bgcolor="#FBE2AA" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="100%" bgcolor="#FBE2AA"> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <?php mysql_connect ( "server", "user", "password" ); mysql_select_db ( "table" ); $query = mysql_query ( "select distinct text from images" ); while ( $result = mysql_fetch_array ( $query ) ) { $text = urlencode ( $result[text] ); echo "<tr><td><img src=\"image.php?s=14&text=$text\" border=\"0\"></td>"; } ?> </table> </td></tr> </table> </td> </table> </body> </html>

Has anyone experience this problem before? I'm not sure whether Apache, PHP, or GD is causing this.

I am running various browsers and have never seen this type of behavior. If the same script is good in IE, NS6, and Moz could it be that there is something with NS4.7? I have just tested IE6, NS6, Moz1.0, and NS4.7 accessing the same script on the same server and saw no problems (save for NS4.7 barfing on some of the CSS).

Check the generated HTML. I think later browsers are more forgiving. Are you using tables? I think table rendering in NS4.7 was really slow.

I have no problem with Netscape 4.7 when connecting to Windows 2000 running the same script. Also, I don't have any nested tables in the html. Any other ideas?

What web servers are you using? Maybe they are returning different headers.

Both are running Apache. I'm using the Windows machine as a development box. The web server and php configuration are very close.

No more ideas. It might be since the Apache code, PHP code, Netscape code is different on Windows. It could also be the network connection from the servers to your browser is different.

So, look at the manual, www.php.net/ereg. Examine the list of functions. Which of them sound like the one you want? Read the manual about that funciton. Write some code according to what the manual says. Does it work? Yes? Great. No? Hack a bit to figure out how to make it do what you want.

Hello again..

I have another compile problem, I'm wondering if someone can help me. I've built and installed Apache 2.0.39 and am recompiling PHP4.2.2. Below are the details..

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-zlib=/usr --with-oci8=`dbhome`

This is the error...

Thanks all.

I think this has been answered a few times in the last few days.

I believe a guy by the name of Aaron searched high and low and found the solution. It will be a popular one so I'll quote him again.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| This will allow you to compile PHP 4.2.x as a shared object into Apache 2.0.39.

Credits to somebody on Google Groups (I can't recall, but I needed an answer to this too a couple weeks back)...

1. Open up the file php_functions.c in /sapi/apache2filter/ 2. Change MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST to AP_MODULE_MAGIC_AT_LEAST (Note the addition of "AP_") 3. Save the php_functions.c file and try running configure again

Keep in mind this is experimental and thus should not be used on production web sites (even though we've been using Apache 2.0.39+PHP 4.2.1/4.2.2 for a few weeks without issues on two of our servers). ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thanks to Aaron for the hard work and dedication finding this neat little hack!!! :-)

Use Apache 1.3.26 with PHP 4.2.2. Apache 2 support is experimental at this time. If you really want to use Apache2, do a search on google.

Yes! But only with the Opera navigator, and while using localhost. With Internet Explorer, doesn't happen.

Well, the original question is actually a good one. I was faced with it when I first tried doing free-lance. I had programming and database experience (MS Access, MSSQL, VB...everyone can barf now), a little html experience but no experience combining the two.

The first people to give me jobs and references were friends. They trusted me and I think that is what helped make the process a success. At first it was very long hours as I studied and learned ASP (barf again), JavaScript, development of graphics and the more advanced HTML options.

I told them that I would charge them about $60/hour and provided estimates of the number of hours it would take to develop something. Truth is that intitally I wound up spending a lot more time on each project than I expected. but kept to my quotes As I learned I was able to shorten the time frame. And I also built a library of code that I was able to apply to other clients. I also developed a list of sites, newsgroups and listserves to get answers or code from when I hit a roadblock.

As for the price, some people balked at that rate. Truth is in Washington DC that was below market. And while some people would say 'well you were only earning xxx when you were at yyy' I explained to them that I had to factor in costs of business that I don't get paid for: invoicing, paying bills, recruiting new clients, software, hardware, my own benefits and so forth.

Overall, while I did not make as much as I hoped, the experience was a tremendous value. Working for one self makes you realize that each hour you are not working you are not making money (um like my spending time to answer this right now <grin>). It really increases your productivity in that way. I also used down time to persue projects that I was simply interested in. There were perks, I got to deduct the cost of my cell phone and DSL as business expenses.

The down side is that I was literally working in my closet. I didn't get out nearly as much as I probably should have. And living where you work is not for everyone. Furthermore, I hated invoicing, paying bills and other administrative matters. When my computer went down (power supply) I had to set up an old computer to use for back up (word to the wise here).

I also had to learn a lot more up and down wind from me. In other words, I had to learn some server administration and even more about hardware specs and configuration. I wound up setting up my home computer as a web server using my DSL connection. I highly recommend this as it will allow you to host your sites until the client approves and you post to their site. It is good to have a working model they can review with you. You will find that they change their minds alot.

If I could do one other thing differently, I would have purchased a laptop going into it. It would have afforded me a lot more flexibility of getting out of the house and working at the coffee shop or somewhere else. I have one now (dual boot with WinXP and Linux-Red-Hat-MYSQL-PHP-Apache), it is worth the extra costs.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Someone posted a link to template contracts yesterday, but I cannot find it in the mailing list archive. If you know of a site, please let me know. Hopefully I dont have any problems coding it. They want the site to accept payments online. Never did that before.

Good day,

I've recently had a need to write a standalone script that needs to fork off a number of children during its operation, and I'd like to use PHP since I've already written most of the functions in a web application I did in PHP. But, I'm now not so sure if that's feasible.

According to the docco, process control is supplied by the "pcntl" module which isn't compiled into PHP by default (and doesn't appear to be compiled into the 4.1.2 Red Hat RPMs that are on the machine). The documentation also describes it as "experimental", although that could just be old documentation...

The program would be a production system... before I proceed trying to recompile support in, could I get some feedback on just how reliable it is? Should I be trying to do this in another language instead?

Thanks in advance,

If by children you mean server processes or OS processes you may be able to use exec() or one of it's variations; http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php Could you more clearly describe what it is you would like to do, such as "run this external script" or "move this file"?

I had considered trying to use something like exec(), but it would have to be written a lot differently. Perhaps the group could give some suggestions?

I need to write a rrdtool front-end that will query a series of hosts and collect information so that graphs can be created for them. All of the information I need is in LDAP, which I've already written neat little functions to retrieve them and process the hosts and "services" which represents the graphs.

So, the program needs to get the information out of LDAP, collect the data sources for rrdtool for each graph (for those not familiar with it, rrdtool doesn't collect the information for you) and then call rrdtool to update the graphs and create the graph files for new graphs, if necessary.

Now, a single-threaded process wouldn't be able to poll all of the graphs in time (most of the time is spent waiting for all of the SNMP replies), so I'd like to have the main program fork off children to actually perform the work. At least, that's the best way I can think of to do it.

The only way I can think of do this without forking is to start up completely separate processes that do the polling, and somehow have them independently figure out which hosts/graphs in LDAP that it has been "assigned" to poll.

I wrote something similar in Perl for MRTG a couple of years ago that had a MySQL backend, but after using rrdtool I am not going back to MRTG. =) Perl would work nicely for what I want to do, but a lot of it is already done in PHP and it would sure be nice to share includes between the two applications.

There's the program. What would people suggest?

If the variable is sent via GET i.e.;

then you could;

$bar = $_GET['bar']; //where $bar is the global to be changed, $bar would now = stuff

Look into the header()-function at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

First rule of header() is: You cannot send any data before you send a header() (if you don't use the Output buffering-functions).

Learning about HTTP protocol helps a LOT with understanding headers. Basically, the headers are generated by the server to tell the client (browser) what to do. If you send ANYTHING (even a hard return) before the header function is invoked then you will get this error.

You have three common options for a redirect.

if you are redirecting BEFORE any HTML is sent to the brower, then PHP's header('Location: myscript.php'); will suit you. And once yopu've been coding for a while, you'll think up ways of evaluating your code so that you CAN make redirects before the first tag (<HTML> or <!DOCTYPE>) are sent to the browser.

You can also combine output buffering (ob_start(), etc etc) to work around this.

Option 2 is a <META> tag refresh, which may work depending on what your code looks like. I *think* valid HTML pages require the <META> tags to be in the head, although many browsers accept them anywhere.

The third option is Javascript, and I'd steer clear from it as much as you can. You don't want to rely on anything client-side (browser-side) unless you absolutely have to... if they don't have JS, then your site breaks. Very un-good!!!!

Well the current web-dev environment here in Melbourne, Australia is VERY Microsoft oriented at the moment. I'm happily freelancing, but have been keeping my eye on the big job websites, just in case that perfect job comes up.

I get emailed about a few jobs every day, and 90% of them are for a M$ environment.

I guess that would be some form of motivational tool for someone to learn ASP -- if there aren't any PHP jobs, then what's the point in knowing PHP?

I'm sure it's just a temporary problem here at the moment, and it'll sort itself out... but if I ever get a week without much work, I'll try and learn a bit of ASP, just so that when a client/employer ask me to use ASP, I can fumble through it, or better still, recommend PHP as an educated alternative.

A lot of places in Canada use MS based web servers and I think PHP is mostly Unix-centric. :-) A lot of applications are only for Windows so a lot of places make the choice to go for Windows web servers. They end up buying an MS solution and most everyone who sells MS solutions is pushing ASP. I'm not an integrator but this is the way it seems to me.

I know what you mean about everything being M$.

I'm a die hard GNU fan and therefore hate everything M$, but I can think of more than one occasion where that attitude cost me some money. I somehow still believe that if I stick to my beliefs and maybe try to convert some M$ people to host their sites/apps on *nix we will eventually take down the evil Redmond devil and open source software will rule the world. </dream>

I know that works but the spec for http/1.1 says it's supposed to have the absoluteURI including the scheme, and host, see http://www.php-faq.com/httpheaders.php#14.30. Kamesh's trouble was he was refering to something like http://mypage.php -- which was missing the host name. I've coded lots of headers() with relative URIs [i.e. header('Location: mypage.php')] without trouble (at least that I know of). Has anyone run into trouble using only the page name? Is this something to worry about or not?

I think only fully qualified domain names and paths are in the HTTP spec but most/all browsers support relative names in Location (not that they have to).

attached mail follows:

>Kamesh's trouble was he was refering to something like http://mypage.php . I figured it would save time to just get rid of the protocol and go relative.

I'm aware of the spec for header, but I have always used a relative URI and just about all the code I've seen uses relative also. I would be interested to know of any possible problems as well. I suppose it would be good practice to start using it correctly. I mean, even with trans-sid set to "on" session ID's are never sent in header redirects or anything containing a full URI anyway so it's not like it's going to mess anything up... unless you moved your code from one site to another and hard coded your full URI in all your header redirects... yikes!!. That's when a main config file would come in real handy :-)

There was no problem with the syntax.. I used the correct syntax in my code: the quotes and both the host name and the script name.. i didnt mention it properly in the mail.. i have also tried it with absolute URL.. as you have mentioned the problem is: session information is not transmitted in redirection.. is there any way of resolving this problem? i wrote a single script that will allow a user to update the db, if he is logged in or it will display the login form if he is not logged .. once he logs in successfully, i call the script again so that he will be able to update the db.. pls help me..

If you have session cookies disabled in your browser then you have to add the session ID to the redirect. If you have your cookies enabled and you are still losing the session then there must be some other problem.

no cookie compatible:

header("Location: http://someplace.com/somepage.php?PHPSESSID=" . session_id() ); exit();

if you have session.use_trans_sid = 1 or you compiled with --enable-trans-sid the session id will be automatically added to relative get or post. Both links that are not a relative URI and header redirects require that you manually append the session id to the query string to keep the session without the need for a session cookie.

I am trying to figure out how to upgrade php from 4.1.2 (which is the default that comes with redhat 7.3), to version 4.2.2. From the small amount of documentation I have been able to find on the subject, it looks like I need to download a rpm. Is this the best way to do it or would it be better to try to use the install files off of php.net, and if the php.net install files are the way to go, how would I go about installing them over the current copy of php. I know this may not be the proper list for this question but I am also sending this email to the redhat list in hopes that someone from one of these two lists can point me in the right direction.

ummm provide an example... i can't think of a time when i know the name of a $var, but can't type it... when would you have a $var but not know about it?

> 2) Is there a way for PHP function to handle a dynamic number of arguments? > In other words, I want to write a function that takes any number of > arguments (strings) and echos each of them with a <br> appended to each of > them.

I'd be doing that with an array:

<? $colors = array('red','blue','green','yellow');

foreach ( $colors as $color ) { echo "Do you like $color?<BR>\n"; }

/* output: Do you like red? Do you like blue? Do you like green? Do you like yellow? */

Or, to wrap it in a function, pass the array colors to a function:

<? // untested

function spitThemOut($array) { $output = ''; foreach ($array as $item) { $output .= "{$item}<BR>"; } return $output; }

$colors = array('red','blue','green','yellow');

echo spitThemOut($colors);

/* should echo red blue green yellow */

The reason I'd start with an array is because you might want to sort it, add to it later, etc etc.

Since you're a newbie, I can highly recommend looking at arrays... after a while, almost EVERYTHIGN seems easier with arrays.

But to answer your question, yes, functions can take unlimited arguments... check out the 1st user-contributed note on this page:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php

Failing that, read the chapter on functions, because there are plenty of options.

Hi,

How do I compare time in php?

Eg. If I have a mysql time field I retrieve stored in $result[0][0] how do I say :

if (($result[0][0] > $result[0][0] plus ten minutes) && ($result[0][0] > '00:00:00')){ .....

}

TIA

You can use date() and mktime() to convert, add, subtract, whatever you can imagine, and display time in many different formats. There are some great examples here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Basically you want to do is convert your time(s) into Unix time and then do your math and convert them back into whatever you want.

You can compare timesamp :

o MySQL part : use UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function http://www.mysql.com/doc/D/a/Date_and_time_functions.html

o PHP part : use mktime() function http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php

Always FALSE !! You can't have $result[0][0] > $result[0][0] plus ten minutes You always have $result[0][0] > '00:00:00' So... TRUE && FALSE = FALSE

MySQL and PHP timestamps are in different formats. MySQL uses YYYYMMDDHHMMSS and PHP uses a unix timestamp, the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970.

You can use UNIXTIMESTAMP(your_column) in your query to get a PHP style unix timestamp.

Although, if you explain what you are trying to do a little better, you could probably do the comparisons a lot easier in your query and not involve PHP at all.

SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_column > your_column + INTERVAL 10 MINUTE AND your_column != 0

That looks equivilent to what you're trying to do in PHP. You might have to say your_column+0 != 0 to get your_column as an integer and not a string.

Thanks to all for the reply,

Sorry it wasn't very detailed, What I am doing is writing the time to a time field in mysql when a user is editing an order. Then when another admin user goes to pick the order, if a time greater than 00:00:00 exists, and that time is less than 10 minutes from the time in the database, he/she will not be able to edit the order. If it is greater than 10 minutes I will assume a connection was lost etc and allow the admin to pick the order.

I would like to be able to check that in the query, so if what you recommended will work I'll try that first.

Thanks, Steve.

Good luck. I had a summer job once (would've been longer if my boss didn't spend all the company money and had to shut the company down) where we used ASP for all our dynamic pages. It's a joke. You go (back) to using dim statements and VBScript! Of course you can use JScript, but that's even more difficult at times. Connecting to a server? There are methods, but error reporting is not ASP's best feature. IMHO, stick with PHP, maybe a bit of Perl, but anything you can do in ASP you can do better in PHP.

uncomment (remove the # at begin of line) the following lines in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Apache 1.3.26 default httpd.conf does lack of this entries. You have to add them instead of uncommenting

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Since PHP Version 4.2.1, »register_globals« are set OFF. This can bring you in problems running PHP-Code not using the $HTTP_GET_VARS methods. To enable register_globals edit the following line in your /usr/local/lib/php.ini:

register_globals = On

You CANNOT reliable set a cookie and re-direct in the same script.

Never gonna work across the board on browsers/servers.

Call it a "bug" if you like (though it's not) but it will NOT work reliably on multiple platforms.

Re-design to just send the Cookie, and then include the page they wanted in the first place.

Also, what's to stop me from setting my own Cookie? Are you using an un-guessable value for the Cookie?

I never rely on JavaScript existing, much less working correctly for something as important as an email link actually working. YMMV.

Well...

There are several options:

1. Make the files be delete-able by "nobody" This, of course, means *ANY* other user on the system can delete them whenever they want to.

2. Use PHP (CGI) running under a cron job to delete the things that are "old" or somehow marked for deletion by the web-page. The cron job can be schedule by a real user, and will have all their powers. This is probably "safest" and "easiest" of all the options.

3. Add another mime-type to httpd.conf and run a *second* PHP as CGI under that mime-type (and filename extension) and then suExec that to run as the owner of the files. Once again, *anybody* who can use the mime-type can then run as that user, so be sure you pin-point the (using httpd.conf <Directory>) this into a directory only *YOU* can put PHP scripts, or you might as well just do 1.

4. Write a sudo shell script that allows *ONLY* the files in question (either restricted by directory or name or something similar) to be deleted by nobody.

There are probably more options...

Ye Gods!

I don't think HTTP POST upload is going to be reliable for *that* size files, no matter *what* you do...

Give them an FTP account or something.

At least FTP can be "continued" (assuming the server/client are configured properly and current) when they lose their connection after 95MB...

HTTP POST can't be "continued", last I checked... At least not on most systems.

Well from the tests I have done it has worked fine. There is no reason why it shouldn't either.

No an option for hundreds of people with massive multi-tier permissions. And considering these people barely understand how to enter their username let alone use an FTP client.

Even though you said "--with-ldap=shared" it just didn't "work"

You'll have to do ./configure again and figure out why LDAP didn't get in there.

For starters, try losing the 'shared' crap. It's just not that big a deal to have it static -- Not worth pulling hair out anyway.

You can log your ./configure output better than usual using:

./configure ... 2&>1 > configure.output &

Then you can use:

tail -f configure.output

to see it scroll by, (control-C to quit) or even: less configure.output to check it later.

It's up to you when to destroy a session.

You can alter the global time out in php.ini, and/or you could update a time stamp on every action in your session data, and if they haven't done anything in a longer time frame than you consider "right", just destroy their session and make them start over.

Keep in mind that for sensitive data, it's all too easy for a user's machine to be used while they are on a coffee-break, so long-lived sessions would not be suitable.

Also, even for public data, users have a nasty habit of forgetting their passwords that you don't make them actually use for a long time, and then you have the joy of pointing them to the "forgot" page to re-issue via email (which is also not suitable for sensitive data) because many will *NOT* think to just try to log in and get re-directed there, much less go looking for it on purpose. Oh no, it's much easier to call you up and ask what their password is, no matter how many times you tell them that it just doesn't work like that, and you don't *know* their password... Sigh.

I'm not sure it matters so much *WHICH* version you use for those packages, as it does that the version you tell PHP you are using matches the one actually *IN* your system...

If you tell PHP you have libpng 1.2.3, and that's the headers it uses, but your OS actually has 1.2.4 or 1.2.2, it's going to crash, almost for sure. The farther apart the versions, the more quickly you'll notice the crash. Very "close" versions might have only a couple functions out of sync that will puke when you try to use them.

Uninstall all the damn RPM's, and install the tarballs. Look inside the libpng/jpeg directory and find the header files. Do a "locate" on the ones that seem pretty likely to have always been there for jpeg (eg "jpeg.h") and make sure you don't have any copies of that in your /usr/.../include/ directories. If you do, get rid of all the *.h files that came from the jpeg library, *and* the libjpeg.so files in the parallel /usr/.../lib/ directory. Then install from the tarball so that there is one, and only one, libjpeg on your entire hard-drive. Remember to do ldconfig after every "make install"

Huh?

Do you mean "last cookie of the same NAME" maybe?

Because that's probably quite likely, and within 'spec' for the Cookie Spec.

They will all be in an array $_COOKIE['foo'] rather than as a global $foo by default -- You can change that in php.ini if you don't care about security, which is a Bad Idea, but might be what you have to do until you convert...

Re-load, and go check your Apache error log.

If you can't find your Apache error_log, just use "print" instead of error_log, but that's not good to have on a public web-site for your internal errors. Exposes too much info to potential abusers.

Use WRAP=VIRTUAL

The other choices for WRAP are morally wrong! :-)

WRAP=VIRTUAL will give you exactly what the user typed -- Not some stupidly-wrapped text that happens to be wrapped at the size of the input box, which is irrelevant to anything resembling reality, much less one that will rip out the line breaks the user *wants* in their text.

Once you've done that, you need to be aware that the *BROWSER* don't give a damn about line breaks. Which is why when you *DISPLAY* the text to the user (not when you store it in the db!) you want to use: http://php.net/nl2br

It does this because you have willfully dis-regarded the warning messages!

You did so by not using error_reporting(E_ALL) at the top of your scripts, or similar setting in your php.ini or .htaccess

As a result, you have some SECURITY HOLES in your scripts.

Until 4.2.x where register_globals was turned off, a malicious user could do:

http://nadrew.com/whatever.php?blah=Hack!

Now, the $blah that your code assumes is blank is *NOT* blank, and I've put stuff into it you've never even considered might be in there... And it might be malicious code.

Now, if you were *REALLY* rigorous about checking values/data/content of *ALL* variables, and not just the ones you *thought* were coming from the user, that would be fine, but since you almost for sure didn't, it's an unacceptable risk.

You may be able to just edit the "httpd.conf" file in the Apache directory and take out the # signs in front of the lines talking about PHP, and it might just work...

If not, you're probably better off un-installing the RedHat PHP RPM, and installing current PHP from source.

Assuming they start as just one big long string, and that it's just like regular email headers:

php.ini Use the path to sendmail there, with the -t as suggested, and *YES* the quotes *ARE* supposed to be part of it:

sendmail_path = "/path/to/sendmail -t"

You may also need to ease up restrictions in sendmail.conf so that the PHP user is *allowed* to send out email, forge headers, and other fun things that are pretty essential to making mail() useful.

You may also want to create a specific new user, different from the usual "nobody", and use that for User in httpd.conf, so that PHP (all of Apache, really) runs as 'www' or 'httpd' instead of 'nobody'

It will stop a few stupid people trying to abuse the lack of restriction on email sending...

Not *really* much of a barrier, but every little bit helps.

There are TWO possibilities: 1. You already *HAVE* MySQL succesfully installed and running and now MySQL is saying, "Excuse me, but this little /tmp/mysql.sock file is telling me that I'm already running!"

2. You managed to crash MySQL so badly that it didn't clean up after itself, and that /tmp/mysql.sock file is a BOGUS version of 1.

You can be *SURE* which is which by doing:

ps auxwww | grep mysql

Either you see some kind of 'mysqld' in there, in which case it's already running, or you don't.

If it's *NOT* running, it's perfectly safe to just destroy the /tmp/mysql.sock file.

If it *IS* running, do *NOT* remove that file -- You will cause yourself major pains if you do.

The header version pretty much hits the browser long before your HTML, and then the browser will immediately move to the new location, and, in fact, PHP probably won't even bother to send your HTML since, what's the point? now that all the browsers are supporting the re-location header.

In short -- No, you can't do that with headers. If you want that 5-second "flash" of a page, stick with META tags.

Depends what you did in php.ini

select firstname from blah where id < 16

select firstname from blah limit 1, 15

Let me know if you like that method or have any objections.

Since I'm always looping through choices in my database, and not hard-coded values, it's really no trouble to do:

while ($id = ...){ $selected = $id == $previously_selected_id ? 'SELECTED' : ''; echo "<OPTION VALUE=$id $selected>...</OPTION>\n"; }

If I *really* want hard-coded options, I'll just put them in an array and do the above.

I try to steer away from javascript as much as possible (and anything else client-side), unless I know my audience extremely well and they are locked into a certain browser and version, i.e. internal applications. But I like that method very much!

create table cart( session_id char(32), item_id int );

Then, if I have item #42, #57, and #314, there will be 3 rows in this table for me:

adsfqweradfzxcvasdfqwer 42 adsfqweradfzxcvasdfqwer 57 adsfqweradfzxcvasdfqwer 314

So you can just:

select item_id from cart where session_id = $PHPSESSID

There's nothing "wrong" with the conditional idea, but you've just got a mistake somewhere in your code.

Surf to the image generation URL (the stuff you put after SRC= in your IMG tag) and see what error messages you've got.

PHP 4 is very aggressive about reclaiming memory.

Don't bother with the unset, unless your array is *HUGE* and you really need it gone immediately... Even then, I suspect you won't find any difference.

> >Hello, > > > >I have this example code: > >function doprint($a){foreach($a as $value)echo $value;} > >doprint(array('1','test','hello','and')); > > > >Question, is the array in memory after the function call? > >So, should it be better to use this: > > > >function doprint($a){foreach($a as $value)echo $value;} > >doprint($temp=array('1','test','hello','and')); > >unset($temp);

There are 2 variants. In the first PHP does not free the memory but there is no variable. In the second PHP frees the memory. The former case is the faster. Which variant is used depends on a constant during compilation.

I used this logout page using sessions a while ago and it used to work great, but now it doesn't work. The only thing i have changed is my version of php. Can someone take a look and see what i have to change?

<? session_start();

$old_user = $valid_user; $result = session_unregister("valid_user"); session_destroy();

then a little further down i have this....

<php? if (!empty($old_user)) { if ($result) { echo "Logged out.<br>"; } else { echo "Could not log you out.<br>"; } } else { echo "You have not logged in; therefore, you cannot logout.<br>"; } ?> It seems to log me out still, but it always gives me the "you have not logged in; therefor, you cannot logout" message. i also checked it with a script to see if my original sessions were actually registering and it seemed that they were. i am stumped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's because you are unregistering the valid_user variable, but, the old_user var you defined early on still exists. So, "if (!empty($old_user))" will equal FALSE, giving you the result you are getting. Change it to "if (!empty($valid_user))".

Is any of the code you posted actually in a Function? What changed for sessions recently in PHP is the register globals option in the php.ini file. Vars are not automatically global anymore, so, you have to do it manually:

global $old_user, $valid_user; $old_user = ... $valid_user = ...

Maybe this is what's causing the problem.

re php info:

put this into a file, put it on your server, and call up the page in a browser:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

it will show the settings for php on your server. As Jim suggested below, you should check the register_globals setting. If register_globals is on, you'll need to use the _Get function. see more on this by looking up register_globals and _Get in the php manual at php.net

okay... if register_globals is off then your session handling is going to change dramatically.

You can read more on it here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

Basically, You still use session_start(); at the top of your page, but you never use session_register, session_is_registered, or session_unregister.

To register a variable in a session use: $_SESSION['user'] = $username; or you can use multi-dimensional arrays... recommended to help keep organized. $_SESSION['user']['username'] = $username; $_SESSION['user']['pasword'] = $password;

You can also use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. I'm not quite sure if there is any major difference in the two except that $_SESSION is new post ver 4.0.6

To end a session simply $_SESSION = array(); session_destroy();

Hi,

I'm still learning PHP. Against suggestions from most of this list I took the Brain Bench test and got in the Master category :) but even at RHIC I scored in the expert range on their test. It must be the similarity to Perl.

Anyhow, I was wondering (and I've asked this in a different way before) if some people with "experience" might suggest certain functions or classes etc. that you only encountered after perhaps writing it yourself. This happens a lot in Perl. Many Perl programmers will write a template system only to stumble upon the vast repository at CPAN afterwards. So I always tell new Perl programmers to search CPAN first.

Allow me to show my ignorance. I use the following site to find stuff before writing myself:

http://www.phpclasses.org/

But I'm not using Pear for anything and never even look wherever it might be. I hope this is not like a Perl programming ignoring CPAN. Ah, I have it in my bookmarks here:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/faq.php

I think this is the standard to follow for documenting code:

http://www.phpdoc.de/

When I installed PHP on my windows box I saw all the things I could do to the ini file. I much prefer to strict environment. I wrote a LOT of code that was not like it should have been.

I would guess that if I wanted to follow an accepted coding standard this would be the one:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php

And that's about it. I name files .inc or .cls or I use .php rather arbitrarily I must admit. Only .php files are returned to a client as that was brought up in a recent thread.

Any tips or suggestions very much appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE. I know that of course I'm free to code however I want. I fully understand that. But having worked on websites where every programmer coded however they wanted ... well, I've become a fan of a standard outside of myself. No point in saying that I can do it however I want, that I know.

Hi all,

I am serializing every get, post, cookie and server variables to log them. I was using mysql to store this data, but I've generated with 900 pageviews a 5 (five) MB table. Now I am using the bz2 extension to accomplish this, but I am not sure if it's the best method.

Are there any better alternatives? I must log this data for every requested page since it's for a bank application (ever had the Central Bank of your country asking for log files? ;-)

Well, it's Friday afternoon and the pre-pub run debates have started :^]

The choice of arguement today is born of the fact that I advised a newbie to always use mysql_close() to close the connection to the database. It's good form and will cover any ills where the database connection fails to close for some other reason (say the user stops the page from loading after the connection is made). I know that it is not required, but always being competitive I thought I would turn to the group for a concensus, whether I am right or wrong.

Hi,

The question was about the use of mysql_close. Use it or not (not when to use it or when not to). So far:

2 says use it 1 says no.

From my read of docs I'd say not to use it. I use the Perl DBI with Apache::DBI and it simply overrides the DBI disconnect so calling a disconnect is only a waste of minimal time and typing when using it.

So, in PHP there are also 2 types of connections:

mysql-pconnect mysql_connect

Well if you are using mysql-pconnect then you would "rarely" use mysql_close() as the docs say

Using mysql_close() isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution. See also freeing resources. __end quote

Okay, so when, when using a persistent connection would I use mysql_close()?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-pconnect.php

says

"Second, the connection to the SQL server will not be closed when the execution of the script ends. Instead, the link will remain open for future use (mysql_close() will not close links established by mysql_pconnect())."

See the above url for information from user comments about cutting down idle connections.

I think it's safe to say one would not use mysql-close() when using mysql-pconnect, although I wonder about the cost of doing that.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-close.php says

> Using mysql_close() isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open > links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution.

It seems to me better to err on the side of caution and use mysql_close(). If you are using a persistent connection then the call to mysql_close() should be overridden but I've got no clue if it's done that way. Seems to be related to opening and closing a file. In Perl the file will close when the script exits and that's fine for quick stuff but once a script begins to grow it allows for bugs.

I vote to suggest use of mysql_close().

alrigh I have switched everything over to the $_Session['variable'] style of session. Next question, I have a little script that used to check if the session was registered and if it was not it would redirect to the login page. How do i accomplish this now that i cannot check if the session is registered? Here is what i have.

<? session_start(); if (session_registered("valid_user2')) { echo " you are registered"; } else { header("Location: http://loginpage.com"); } ?>

How do I check if a session is active/registered or whatever it is so i cn still redirect or assign variables?

I always just register an extra variable to track logged in users. If the user has logged in, it is set to TRUE, if not, FALSE. Then I just do comparisons on that variable.

<?php session_start() if($loggedin == FALSE) { header("Location: login.php"); } ?>

Something along those lines.

After you call session_destroy() session_id() will return nothing.

so you could do this:

// example only session_start(); print "<br>" . session_id(); // now you see it.... $_SESSION = array(); session_destroy(); print "<br>" . session_id(); // ...now you don't! if (! session_id() ) // test it.... now you can be sure. die("no session");

You don't have to close it; it's automatic. Just treat $_SESSION like the regular variable it is. Anything you assign to it will be available on any page you call session_start(). How much easier can it be??

If you really want a message, then on the last line of your file put

echo "Session Closed";

This should do it: for($m=1;$m<=5;$m++){ $varName = 'divId' . $m; $div_id[$m]=${$varName} }

attached mail follows:

for($i =0; $i < 5; $i++) { $offset = $m + 1; $divid[$m] = $div_id{$offset}; }

That should work. You'll most often want to start your arrays with zero, since it is the first pointer position, by default. The offset is so that your initial variables to be stored into the array stay numbered starting at one.

If you are doing this from a form with five textboxes though, just put the name of each textbox as "div_id[]" and it will build the array for you. Hope to help!

I have two tables: member_basic and member_detail. When a member edits their record, they can edit or add data for either table, but, the data stored in member_detail isn't required, so, they can possibly leave these fields blank. By the way, both tables would be linked by a member id.

Here's my dilemma: If they do fill in any fields associated with member_detail, I have to first see whether or not there's an entry in the member_detail table already for that user (based on member id number). If not, I then have to check ALL the form fields associated with this table to see if any data was actually entered so I know whether or not to create a new record for the member in member_detail. If there is already an entry for that member in member_detail, then I can just do a standard UPDATE.

Now maybe this is how it has to be done, but, I was hoping there might be an easier way to do this. It appears it's not possible to UPDATE a JOINed table during a query, which is what I was hoping. I am trying to keep the DB efficient by keeping optional data that may be left empty in another table, but, it's only making my life difficult, so, unless there's an easier way, I may just combine all the fields into one table and be done with it.

Sorry for the long-winded explanation. Any suggestion are greatly appreciated!

You can do this in an if statement;

if(this set of variables is there){ insert to database } elseif(member exists){ update the database }

It really depends on what version you have now.

I'd say the biggest thing to look out for is the register_globals, which is now defaulted to "Off". This will break lots of sites!!! Turn it on unless you want your phone to ring for days. Users should, however, be urged to get used to coding with it off. It can be turned off on a per directory basis using .htaccess.

I have not actually tried this but one of our users reported a problem with setcookie. He was doing this: setcookie('username', $username, "", $protected_dir); The manual says you must use an integer for the expire argument and cannot escape with an empty string so I'm surprised it ever worked at all, but he says it did work before the upgrade. I had him switch to this: setcookie('username', $username, 0, $protected_dir);

Other than that you might have some Redhat specific problems that I'm unaware of. I don't see why you people put up with that rpm crap. :-)

Here is some working sample code that you can build from.

<? $columns = 3;

$pretend_row = array( "test", "test2", "testing", "test4", "testagain", "hello" );

$table = "<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n"; $count = 1; foreach ($pretend_row as $row) { $table .= "<td>$row</td>\n"; if ($count % $columns === 0) $table .= "</tr><tr>\n"; $count++; } $table = ereg_replace("<tr>\n$", "\n", $table); $table .= "</table>\n";

print $table; ?>

Hi all.

Last nite I've came across a problem I wasn't able to figure out by my self. It's not difficult to make a loop that will make new *TABLE ROWS* (<tr>) to show several DB objects in a nice way. what I need to do, is to display 2 or maybe even 3 of this objects stored in a DB per table row, separated in different *TABLE COLUMS* (<td>). how can I achieve this? What I usually do is:

------------------------------ // DB QUERY $query = "SELECT * FROM table_name"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

// NOW THE LOOP for ($i=0; $i<$num_rows; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>"; echo $row[whatever]; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } ------------------------------

but how can I get 2 or 3 columns displaying different db objects? A loop inside a loop?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I just installed the nice and easy one click PHP install to my Windows 98se machine.

I just want to be able to test and practice My basic PHP /MySQL stuff without up loading.

So now what do I do.

I ran the php info scripts and got bunch of weird messages.

How do I get the PHP to work in my browsers IE, NN just as it does when uploaded to my hosting co's servers?

Thanks, -Marcus

You need a web server like M$ IIS or Apache. I would rather chew tin foil than run an IIS server even if it was on a win machine.

You can install the win version of the Apache web server and then just browse to http://localhost/ to view your work.

Marcus,

There is a nice bundle for windows, it's perfect to test basic php/mysql stuff. it includes Apache, MySQL and PHP. You can find it at http://www.firepages.com.au/dev4.htm

It's really easy to use, you just have to run phpdev_start.bat, and you have your website running on http://localhost, with php/mysql support. :). to stop it you run phpdev_stop.bat.

Hope this helps.

Oscar.-

Obiously you need a WebServer too, you can install Apache or Personal Web Server, and configure php to work with it, next you can browse you own server with the address http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1, maybe you will have to install mysql for windows too if you wanna work with databases too.

If you got it installed.

insert a script called php_info.php on the companies webserver.

here is it's contents: <?php phpinfo(); ?>

That will give you lots of info about the configuration of PHP.

do the same thing on your PC.

if they are differant:

Use windows explorer/my computer to browse to C:\WINDOWS\

then find a file in that directory called php.ini.

Check the settings against the ones shown with php info.

change them to the isp/companies config.

Hello,

I am creating a script that takes an uploaded image, creates a thumbnail from it, and saves both files.

The script works great, but the problem is, the files It will have to handle, are high-resolution files (300dpi, 24 bit-depth).. it works fine on regular files (72 dpi), but when I upload a 300dpi image, it says that the image is not a valid JPEG file.

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg: '/home/sites/site1/web/uploadedHi-Res/mo_0001.jpg' is not a valid JPEG file in /home/sites/site1/web/site/designers/doSubmit.php on line 6

The image appears to be valid here, it opens on photoshop, and everywhere, however, once uploaded, the image seems to be corrupted somehow, bc if I download it again, it won¨t open anywhere. Has this happened to anyone else on this list?.. if so, please advise!.

Here is the code for the script if it helps:

if (($filename_type != "image/jpeg") && ($filename_type != "image/jpg") && ($filename_type != "image/pjpeg")) { header("Location:submitError.php"); exit; } else { srand((double)microtime()*1000000); $randomfile = substr(md5(rand(0,9999999)), 0, 6); $upload = "/home/sites/site1/web/uploadedHi-Res"; $upload_path = "$upload/$filename_name"; if (is_uploaded_file($filename)) { Exec("cp $filename $upload_path"); $link = mysql_connect(localhost, 'xxxxx', 'xxxx') or die("Unable to Connect to Database"); mysql_select_db(xxxx); $sql = "INSERT INTO xxxx VALUES ('$designer_valid', '$filename_name', NOW(), 'Pending')"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or die("Query Failed"); createThumbnail($upload_path, $filename_name); header("Location:designSubmitted.php"); exit; } else { header("Location:submitError.php"); exit; } }

This may sound silly, but you are uploading in binary mode right?

Does the maximum uploaded file size directive in php.ini refuse upload, or cut the file off at the maximum?

If you're uploading via a browser, it *might* be chopping it off, resulting in an invalid file.

Try *JUST* uploading the file and saving it to disk, then try downloading & saving that file to disk... compare file sizes, and try to open the file.

If all this works, then you can rule out a file size issue, and look at other issues, like a potential bug with large files or large resolutions.

Hi,

Right now my PHP is set up to use Postgresql. I want to use MySQL now. How do I let PHP know that MySQL is now installed?

thanks, Joel

You don't let PHP know that it is installed. You just have to make sure that PHP is supporting mysql functions (compiled with mysql support) and start using mysql function.. Check out what phpinfo() prints , whether or not there is mysql related info in its output.. Gurhan

Hi, everyone.

There MUST be some creative way to call a user-defined PHP function from an <a href> tag. Does anyone have any suggestions?

For example:

====================================================================== <html> <a href="<?php joe(); ?>"> Click here to start "function joe()". </a>

<?php function joe() { $temp1=10; $temp2=20; $result=$temp1+$temp2; echo "The result of this function is: " . $result; } ?>

</html> ======================================================================

So, if the user clicks on the link, he'll see: "The result of this function is: 20"

Any ideas? Any help would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, I got one. It's kind of crazy, but how about we assume PHP is server side and anything that happens in the browser is called, well, let's say client side. Let's, for argument's sake, say that server side happens first to create the client side code. After the server side part is done, it's done. It can't affect anything client side unless you request another page or refresh the page.

> <a href="<?php joe(); ?>"> Click here to start "function joe()". </a>

<a href="function.php">click here to run function joe().</a>

Then place the following in function.php file:

> <?php > function joe() { > $temp1=10; > $temp2=20; > $result=$temp1+$temp2; > echo "The result of this function is: " . $result; > } > ?>

> So, if the user clicks on the link, he'll see: "The result of this > function is: 20"

And he will, but it requires a page to be requested...otherwise use JavaScript.

Ok, here i made a function that can accept an unknown number of params.

In fact, it's a data interface for a mysql database, when i call the object's constructor it is in possibility to pass any number of table names from 1 to x. Now i got this other class called a data interfacer which sends a certain number of tables to the data interface constructor. I tried doing:

$interface = new data_interface($table1, eval("$table2, $table3, $table4")); $interface = eval("new data_interface($table1, $table2, $table3, $table4)");

and various other tries. The thing is i can't know how many tables can be transfered from the data interfacer to the data_interface. So i could make a if..elseif...elseif until i reach something like 10 tables but still, it's not a good practice, i'm sure there is a way to emulate real parameters when they are needed and skip them in the call if you don't have them.

Can anybody help me out?
