Well, it is rather inefficient code. Applying a regex just to break a
string up on a single character is a waste. You should be using explode()
instead of split() here.

As for what it does, if you read php.net/list and php.net/split it should
be pretty obvious.

php.net/split says:

  Returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string
  formed by splitting it on boundaries formed by the regular expression
  pattern. If limit is set, the returned array will contain a maximum of
  limit elements with the last element containing the whole rest of
  string.

So, in your example it will return a 2 element array. Everything before
the first space of the string $row['time'] goes in the first element, and
everything after the first space into the second element.

php.net/list says:

list() is used to assign a list of variables in one operation.

In your case that means that the first element in the array returned from
the split() call ends up in $date and the second element ends up in $laik.

I am a newbie in this area so please be patient for my silly question :)

I have a bad experience coding in PHP. I create a home page in PHP,
index.php. Within this PHP code, it calls functions which are placed in
other file. I notice that the page title changes to something that I don't
want it to be. My question is..

1. Why the page title changes?
2. How to make the title not to change when making function call?

Thanks

attached mail follows:

My code is quite long so I try to make it short by describe it instead of
posting the code here. Please tell me if you need more information.

There are two functions in a file named a.inc. One function is named
output_header($title) and another function is named
output_content($content). The former is used to set the page title and the
latter is used to printout the content of the page.

There are many files that contain HTML code, which assemble for a very nice
page frame, e.g. file1.inc for the menu bar and file2.inc for the footer.

In the index.php, it starts by setting the page title to something, for
example "Home Page". Then comprise the page frame by including file1.inc
and file2.inc. In between, it calls the function output_content($content)
to print the content of the page.

Thus, the code will look like this...

<?
..
output_header("Home Page");'
..
require(file1.inc); //print the menu bar
output_content("Some message as a page content");
..
require(file2.inc); //print the footer
?>

When I open the index.php through my IE5, the page title is not "Home Page"
but http://www.xxx.com/index.php instead.

Hope this information is good enough and thanks for trying to help.

This is probably an HTML problem, not a PHP problem. To see what is going
on, run your program, save the resulting HTML into a file ("save as" in the
edit menu on your browser) and look at it with a text editor.

It could be that you are confused about the way your browser displays the
title. It should appear at the very top of your browser window, not in the
address line.

When you include() a remote file eg:

http://www.xyz.net/config.php

it only includes the OUTPUT of http://www.xyz.net/config.php. Thus if all
config.php does is assign some values to variables, ie produces no output,
then the result of the include is nothing.

Basically if you have a correctly configured webserver then there is no need
to worry about people remotely including your scripts (because all they see
is the HTML produced by your script).

attached mail follows:

All included scripts inherit the variables of the parent script, so you could test for numerous server variables like the name of the parent script (PHP_SELF), or the domain name being used, etc etc. If it's not what you expected, spit out an error.

something like

<? if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == "mydir/myscript.php") { // do all this stuff } else { // do nothing } ?>

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] might be a better option than $PHP_SELF, given that you would include a config file on every page.

Other users on the same server *shouldn't* be able to include() in this way though, if the server is set-up right.

Nothing is ever 100% secure, but if your host hasn't even attempted to plug these holes, change hosts.

As far as people go on other servers, they can only call your script via HTTP, and get the *output* of the script, not the script itself.

1. if your config file doesn't output any text or HTML to the browser, then they'll get a blank document

2. if you name all your included PHP scripts with .inc (or anything other than .php) AND set a .htaccess file to forbid *.inc files from being server via HTTP, then there is very little chance of another webmaster obtaining your passwords et al over HTTP.

My .htaccess file has:

<Files ~ "\.inc$"> Order Allow,Deny Deny from all </Files>

Good luck!

How?

Would their $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] not be the same?

attached mail follows:

Maybe you could create an include directory outsite the root of your webpage,

like this

<Website Name> <include> <-- Here are your inlcude files <HTDocs> <-- Here is yourwebsite

then use: include "../include/<include filename>";

In this way, the only scripts that have acces to these files are the files located on the website. so no other sites, and users on the same server, can include these files.

Because the open_basedir directive can make sure other users on the shared server can't read/include your files.

Only if the sysadmin running your web server allows it, which they should not.

Not quite, but if you are on a shared server hosted by somebody else, there is a potential problem. If somebody can figure out the name of the function that opens the database, they could call it, potemtially giving access to the data. You could use the solution posted by Justin French to make sure that the function does nothing for them when they call it.

As other people have said, your hosting organisation should set the system up so that nobody can read your PHP code, and that nobody outside the host computer can include it. However, I think it would be difficult for them to stop another user on the same server including your code.

If you run your own server, you can set it up so that each webmaster is locked into a private environment, but it's messy. According to me, you would need a separate copy of apache for each site, each running under a different user, and they would need to run on separate ports, which is a nuisance.

But probably the password is in variable so if you can include() the file with the password and cored dump the php you can view it. I've found a bug or two that core dump PHP and saw my secrets there. Even function or variables with mangled names will not help you.

You did not specify your circumstances in your original posting, so there is some confusion.

One web server can handle many domains. An ISP offering shared hosting will run their server this way, because it is cheap.

So, there are at least two cases:

(1) Several webmasters running the same domain. They should be part of a disciplined team, so this should not be a problem.

(2) Several domains, each run by one webmaster (or one team), possibly each in a different organisation. If you run the domain www.somedomainorother.com, that will be in the HTTP_HOST entry. If somebody running another domain calls the function that opens your database, the HTTP_HOST setting will be different. The suggestion is to write your open function to check for this.

How can i do that

===========HERE=========== import_request_variables("G", "saci_"); echo $saci_modo."<BR>"; echo $saci_color."<BR>"; echo $saci_size."<BR>"; =========================== Tested it! It worked! G stands for GET You can use P or C for POST or COOKIE The order of gpc is important the later overwites the former...see docs(XCVIII. Variable Functions)

Thanks to those who helped me last time about creating image, but now there is another problem... I'm making a thumblain like this:

$base_size = 300;

$size = GetImageSize($image1); $kof = ($size[0] > $size[1]) ? $size[0] : $size[1]; $koef = ($base_size / $kof);

$new_w = (int) $size[0] * $koef; $new_h = (int) $size[1] * $koef;

$dst_img = ImageCreate($new_w, $new_h); $src_img = ImageCreateFromJpeg($image1); ImageCopyResized($dst_img, $src_img, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_w, $new_h, ImageSX($src_img), ImageSY($src_img)); imageJPEG($dst_img, $image2);

Andf I get $image2 with 0 bytes... If i write imageJPEG($src_img, $image2); I get good image, so there is some problems with ImageCopyResized... Does anybody have any ideas about this?

Oh don't worry about this... I've already found the mistake...

Hi list!

Something I use quite often when programming in ASP is the Server.MapPath method. This method expects a virtual path (on the web server) and returns the corresponding psysical path. I haven't seen this anywhere in PHP, so I've hacked my own little routine to do this (see below). But I still have two questions:

a) Is there perhaps a built-in function I can use instead? I browsed through the manual quite a lot, but I haven't found quite like this.

b) If there isn't a built-in function, perhaps you could help me make my function better? It seems I use a lot of code for this TINY problem...

Here's the function: <snip> // This function calculates the physical path for a given virtual path. function map_path($virtual_path) { // Deklarera necessary variables as global global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

// Find out where this file is located in the psysical file system $script_filename = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];

// Find out where this file is located in the virtual file system $script_name = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_NAME"];

// Calculate which folder in the psysical filesystem that corresponds // to the root folder in the virtual filesystem $psychical_root = substr($script_filename, 0, strlen($script_filename) - strlen($script_name));

// Calculate which folder in the psysical filesystem that corresponds // to the given folder in the virtual filesystem $psychical_path = $psychical_root . $virtual_path;

return $psychical_path; } </snip>

Kindly

I think that you have something like this:

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME] == '\foo\bar.php'

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] == 'c:\wwwroot\foo\bar.php'

and you want to use this to derive the root 'c:\wwwroot'. You can use one of the standard string edit functions. Something like this:

$baseName = ereg_replace( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME' . '$', '', $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);

The first argument is regular expression. This one matches the script name as long as it appears at the end of the string. The second argument is the replacement string (nothing), the third is the string to search.

I cover regular expression pattern matching in my introduction to PHP (see below).

However, the root directory is an Apache variable and these are passed to PHP in another array. I can't remember which right now!

hi! i have a problem in my project.the problem is that suppose we have the date for the whole of the month and two different files r there. i have to pick one file of the current date that is say today and the other file of the yesterday.but the problem is that if the current date is monday then the in yesterday file i have to pick for saturday and not the sunday.broadly speaking i mean to say that the difference between the today's date and yesterday's is not fixed as there can be a holiday for say 4 days inbetween then in yesterday i need the date 4 days before. so i need some query to handle this as soon as possible as its very urjent.the query should be in MYSQL.that is the query should be such which can pick today's date and the date of the working day before the today's or the current date.

I don't store anything in date format (eg YYYY-MM-DD)... I store them as a unix time stamp -- see time() in the manual.

Then it would be pretty easy to get today's stamp using time(), then look for the two files preceeding that stamp, (ORDER BY in SQL) which would presumably be today's file/row, and the one preceeding it (usually yesterday, but could be a few days before).

something like: SELECT * FROM table WHERE stamp < $now ORDER BY stamp DESC LIMIT 2

should give you the two stamps you need... a simular thing could be done with other date formats in MySQL, but I've never worked with them sorry,

SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_date_column <= CURDATE() LIMIT 2

That assumes there is only one entry per day. Tell us if it's otherwise.

Hi there, I am having trouble to install pear. This seems to be needed by a webmailer called horde. somehow the pear comming with php4.2.2 does not contain a certain log class. Here is what the faq says about this problem: http://horde.org/faq/admin/trouble/index.php#t51 5.1.21 "Fatal error: Undefined class name 'log' in ..." [Horde 2.x]: Your PHP PEAR implementation is missing the PEAR Log package. This is a common problem with the PHP 4.2.1 PEAR for example. You can install it via the network if you have a standalone php/pear command. See the file horde/docs/INSTALL for more information on how to install the required PEAR packages this way. Otherwise you can download the Log package (e.g. from http://pear.php.net/get/Log) and manually install them inside your PEAR directory. You may also need to install the modules Mail_Mime and Net_Socket as well.

For more detailed instructions on install PEAR modules, see the PEAR documentation at http://pear.php.net/manual/.

--------- Ok... so far so good :-( I did take a look at the pear php page and this takes me to another step to install a webinstaller:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.web.php

So I did try this to :-( But this results in following error msg:

prob try and install via cvs , thats the whole lot though, but it works , also search http://pear.php.net for the package and then copy it to that dir

also make sure the include dir to pear is setup in php.ini

usually /usr/local/lib/php or whereever pear is sitting

I am creating an application where it would be useful to write and store script in a field in a MySQL database and create a loop to process the array of the code contained in the field. Conceptually, I think it sounds reasonable but I am uncertain of what kind of process I could use to have the code in the field variable read properly within the loop. Somewhat analogous to an include in HTML. The file would be read as though a single script file though the included material has come from a text field.

This would be really useful for me since the code could be modified in the database outside a smaller application without changing the files. Any ideas here on how I might do this from anyone that has attempted anything similar? I have set everything up but just can't figure out how to bring the script text in the field into the file properly. Help much appreciated.

Probably your best solution is to write your own mini script and write an interpreter for it!

Well, Just make a PHP page that shows what you want. Use a META-REFRESH tag to have it refresh itself every 60 seconds (I'm assuming that'll work in the "toolbar"). I'm not sure of the specifics for vBulletin, but the database structure isn't that difficult. Just pull use LIMIT to pull out the latest post, format it, and display it on the page...

Do you still need help? Maybe you should get more specific as to what you want...

I will do that and see if it helps, but why should that make a difference? I would like to know what I am doing wrong in general.

Help still needed.

I just went back to the code and looked. Making $ItemNum does not make a difference. And the object which is passed to it is part of the class which is global anyway.

Use print_r() or var_dump() on $ItemNum outside and inside of the function and compare.

Hi,

does anyone know of an elegant way to get the Url of the current frame in a php variable.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Patrick

PS I know that PHP_SELF will provide the url of the main frame

attached mail follows:

the only way would be with javascript, but remember, this would be done AFTER the page leaves the server (client side), so it will be quite messy.

or you could try keeping track of what the sub-frame is doing with sessions... each time you change it's URL, update the session variable.

or you could re-think your code design so you don't have to rely on something so complicated :)

I guess knowing the reason why you need to do this might enable us to give you more help.

I would like to include a style sheet based on the url; the references to the style sheet are stored in MySQL.

I guess the way to code this would be to use php to create the javascript code with the list of style sheets.

I think something is wrong with the way I am calling ldap_modify, but I'm not sure exactly what, from the scripts and tutorials I've been looking at/experimenting with:

$ds=ldap_connect("online-leagues.com"); if ($ds) { $r=ldap_bind($ds, 'username', 'password'); // Search surname entry $sr=ldap_search($ds, 'cn=online-leagues.com', 'uid=testing'); echo "Search result is ".$sr."<p>"; $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr); echo "dn is: ". $info[0]["dn"] ."<br>"; echo "first cn entry is: ". $info[0]["cn"][0] ."<br>"; echo "first email entry is: ". $info[0]["mail"][0] ."<p>"; echo "st = ". $info[0]["st"][0] ."<p>";

$info[0]["st"][0]="stchanged!";

ldap_modify($ds, 'uid=testing,cn=online-leagues.com', $info); echo "Closing connection"; ldap_close($ds);

} else { echo "<h4>Unable to connect to LDAP server</h4>"; }

The error returned is:

Fatal error: LDAP: Unknown Attribute in the data in /usr/local/www/sites/online-leagues.com/htdocs/ldapform.php on line 31

I looked up the error on google but didn't find anything..

Running ldapsearch from the command line on my box, the record looks like:

# # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL #

# online-leagues.com dn: cn=online-leagues.com objectclass: top objectclass: organization objectclass: CommuniGateDomain cn: online-leagues.com o: www.online-leagues.com

so I think the dn is right, but I'm not 100% sure now. Any ideas?

Thanks, Chad

attached mail follows:

I think your problem is that you are passing the output of ldap_get_entries() directly back into ldap_modify(). ldap_get_entries() returns an array of result elements whereas ldap_modify() is expecting a single element.

So, to change the 'st' attribute for the uid=testing record, you should simply do:

$data['st'] = 'stchanged'; ldap_modify($ds, 'uid=testing,cn=online-leagues.com', $data);

If st takes multiple values, use:

$data['st'][0] = 'stchanged'; $data['st'][1] = '2nd value'; ldap_modify($ds, 'uid=testing,cn=online-leagues.com', $data);

Hi there,

Can anybody give me a hint on how to install this PEAR successfully on my php version (I guess now it is installed inside the other php standalone version)

Do you mean how can you get MySQL to present the data in sorted order or how can you get the browser to display the results in neat columns?

Depending upon the question, you either want to use a SELECT query with an ORDER BY clause or you want to output the result within HTML table tags.

Hello,

I have just finished re-compile and re-install apache 1.3.26, php 4.2.2, openssl 0.9.6d and mod_ssl... But when I start the apache by running : apachectl startssl

php and https can't for work with apache, then I check the file "httpd.conf" : I found : <IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so </IfDefine>

<IfDefine SSL> AddModule mod_ssl.c AddModule mod_php4.c </IfDefine>

And there are no the following lines into httpd.conf :

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

So, I try to modify the setting by these :

#<IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so #</IfDefine>

#<IfDefine SSL> AddModule mod_ssl.c AddModule mod_php4.c #</IfDefine>

<IfDefine SSL> #Listen 80 Listen 443 </IfDefine> Listen 80

And then add these lines into httpd.conf also :

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

After that, I try to restart the apache by : apachectl startssl...

OH...php is ok for work with apache, but https can't for work with apache again !

So, can you help me more ?

Thanks.

Not sure if this is a PHP question but I've traced the problem to a PHP statement.

I have a form that when submitted, displays a PDF document in the browser (using a PDF library). When I click on the back button, it should redisplay my form but instead, displays a warning that data has expired and I need to refresh. Now this never happened until recently so I look at recent changes and traced the problem to one single PHP statement at the top of my file:

session_start();

I am using sessions to pass values between pages and so added the statement to my page so that I could check the value of a variable. When I comment out the above statement, I am no longer prompted to refresh.

Question: How can I have my cake and eat it to?

Thanks, Don

This is generally caused by using POST as the form's methods. Try using GET instead.

I know nothing about ASP.

attached mail follows:

I think he means XML WebServices (probably using SOAP)

It's not too difficult, there are a few SOAP classes for PHP now, simply send your SOAP encoded request to the server, via HTTP, and decode the SOAP response that you get back.

There's also a SOAP module for PHP (alpha release atm) at http://phpsoaptoolkit.sourceforge.net/phpsoap/

If you're after an all in 1 solution you might want to look at nusoap - but it was really buggy the last time I used it, so I don't recommend it at this time.

I've heard something about another all in 1 solution that's quite promising - but it's behind closed doors atm.

This is a part of my code for my data interfacer class which takes an SQL RESULT RESOURCE and gets the field from it. Problem is, i can't get the primary key out nor the auto-increment flag out. Before, the same script (or so, it was modified but not that part) was working fine. I tried it on several tables and on several database servers and i still can't get the PRIMARY or AUTO_INCREMENT flag out. In fact the only flag that is returned is: NOT_NULL. (When i ECHO the mysql_field_flags(...) i get only notnull).

Furthermore, i can't seem to get the data, that i will check more in detail, my most important part IS the primary and auto-increment flags.

Thanks in advance if you can find something.

Here is the complete code that you need:

//Execute the query twice to get the fields and a result for the values $result = $this->mysql_server->send_result_sql($this->query_builder->generate_select() , 1); $fieldlist = $this->mysql_server->send_result_sql($this->query_builder->generate_select() , 1);

//get the first row to insert values in the interface $data = mysql_fetch_array($result);

//Used for the field flag fetching $curfield = -1; $fieldcount = mysql_num_fields($fieldlist);

//Loop the data field definition and add the field in the end for($curfield = 0; $curfield < $fieldcount; $curfield++){ //Get the current field $datadef = mysql_fetch_field($fieldlist, $curfield);

//Reset the data $primary_key = 0; $auto_increment = 0;

//Get all the other params from the field definition $fieldname = $datadef->name; $sourcetable = $datadef->table; $datatype = constant("MYSQL_NDT_" . strtoupper($datadef->type)); $fieldvalue = $data[$datadef->name]; $datasize = $datadef->max_length;

//Get the field flags and explode them immediatly $fieldflags = explode(" ", mysql_field_flags($fieldlist, $curfield));

//Check all the field flags foreach($fieldflags as $key => $value){ if($value == "primary_key"){ $primary_key = 1; }elseif($value == "auto_increment"){ $auto_increment = 1; } }

It looks like your code could use "variable variables" to help you out.

::::::: END OF OLD CODE :::::::::::::

** this check will always be true - because you just set $frmGame equal to a value... *** What you want to do at this point is use variable variables (where the variable name is actually a variable itself.

::::::::: NEW CODE :::::::::::

> > $var_frmGame = "Game" + $GameIdx; > > $frmGame = $$var_frmGame; // The "$$" is used for variable variables > > if ($frmGame) {

:::::: END OF NEW CODE :::::::

** the above snippett is was I wrote to show the results of the dynamic (looped-through) variable $Game1, $Game2, ...

I use this method when the number of form elements is variable. Instead of hardcoding the number "17" you might make a variable in the incoming form with the count of form elements (simply increment a variable with each printing of the form variable... then at the end of the form make <input type="hidden" name="elementcount" value="$count">)

Then you can make the above for-statement look like this:

> > for ($GameIdx = 1; $GameIdx <= $elementcount; $GameIdx++) {

Does any of this make sense or help in any way?

-Mark

attached mail follows:

If you made an array for your buttons, then you could use PHP's looping constructs to process the array. Write the input tag like this:

<INPUT NAME=Game[1] VALUE=1>Chicago

The processing code will then have access to the array $Game indexed by the game number, e.g., $Game[1].

I am looking into different password encryption solutions.

i started using crypt()

then changed to mcrypt()

which was not any good cause of the high ascii characters

then i read about converting the high ascii characters to hex .

Is this the ideal way to encrypt passwords or is their something better.

Thanks

Randy

Just base64 encode the mcrypt output if the non printable chars bother you, though I don't really see what the problem is, unless you're pushing the output to a web page.

The crypt() function will generate a standard UNIX crypt password that other programs can understand. UNIX crypt has some limitations (only using the first 8 characters is the major one) but it's good enough for most people and is probably the most widely supported.

If you want something stronger, you can use md5(). The examples on php's documentation for this function should help you if you're interested in having other programs use it (to have it the right format and length).

I found that the some of the high ascii characters would not store right in the database or something cause when i went to compare them, the comparison would fail.

Anyone know the workaround with the situation here? Here is the sample script. The problem is I include the XML tag into the PHP variable and it messed up everything. It all had to do with "?" here since PHP use it also.

--clip-- <?php $XML = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Product>Apple</Product>"; echo $XML; ?>

Thanks, FletchSOD

Try:

<?php $XML = "<"."?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Product>Apple</Product>"; echo $XML; ?>
