Hello PHP people...
I'm trying to insert a filename (string) into a postgres database field but
the insert query is failing -
Warning: pg_exec() query failed: ERROR: oidin: error in
"abc_abcde012_010_mpeg1.mpeg": can't parse "abc_abcde012_010_mpeg1.mpeg"
in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/filename.php on line 835
Here's the query -
$addFileResult = pg_exec($db->db, "INSERT INTO
files(filename,type,size,uploaded) VALUES
('$this->uploadedFileName','$this->uploadedFileType','$this->uploadedFileSize','now'::datetime)");
Table looks like this -
CREATE TABLE "files"
(
"filename" oid,
"type" varchar(30),
"size" int,
"uploaded" datetime
);
Any Ideas?
Saludos,
Javier

There is no bandaid for this. Your code is simply wrong. You are calling a stroke function without having a path to stroke. You need to fix the code.

Well an answer, even one I didn't want is better than no answer -- I only thought a band-aid might be around as the code did work at one time ... oh well, I guess I'm going to go learn more about PDFlib than I ever wanted to:(
Thanks for the help.

Is this a proper way to see if an insert has failed?
$Query="insert blah into blah where blah=blah"; if (! mysql_query($Query,$link)) { $dberror= mysql_error() }
Is there a better way to do it?

Remember, no matter what you do, some browsers (eg Opera) always show a cached copy when using the 'BACK' button.

Hey all,
Pretty new to PHP... A couple of general questions will help me solve a larger problem...!
1) I need to read all of the names of the files in a given directory
2) read a given line number out of each of these files (just text)
3) write it to a delimited file of some sort
I think I am on to #2 and #3, but #1 I am having trouble with... Any pointers would be appreciated!

Here you go...
if( ($dir = opendir( $path )) )
{
while( $aFile = readdir( $dir ) )
{
//
// Test you really have a file vs. having a
// directory and then do your stuff.
//
}
}
A far better approach though, is to familiarize yourself with the appropriate routines:

You need to check the TYPE of the return value from readdir, because a filename that evaluates to fals will stop the loop.
So you need
while ( ($aFile = readdir( $dir ) ) !== false)
{
// Stuff in here
}
It's in the manual page...

Well, we could help more if you were slightly more liberal with the details of your situation, but...
The most likely thing is register_globals is off in your php.ini, and your script depends on it being on.

Hey everyone... I'm fairly new to PHP, and this is my first post to the list. I've been developing on the web for about 6 years now with other languages, but need some help getting started with this one.
1) This isn't working unless the form is submitted...
if (!isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['step'])) { $step=$HTTP_POST_VARS['step']; }
I get the error: Notice: Undefined index
I need to set Step=1 as default, but set Step=x when form is posted, where x is a value from the submitted form. This to control whether or not to show certain parts of the page.
2) Is there an easier/alternate way to default the value of a variable if it's not already set?
Thanks in advance, Peter

Hrm? You check to see if $HTTP_POST_VARS['step'] is not set, and if it isn't set you try to read the value and put it into $step. That makes no sense. Obviously you will get an undefined index warning.

try
if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['step']) ) { $step = $HTTP_POST_VARS['step']; { else { $step = 1; }
the "!" before isset basically makes it "is not set". Really all you have to do is get rid of that.

Good News! It's working
Bad News. It's not working right.
I pretty much followed the Zend article. 1. My main web site is at /home/sites/home/users/demo/web 2. I have a document site at /home/sites/home/users/demodocs/web 3. I created a directory of files called "/docs/ProjDocs/", and put it outside the web root of my document site at ../demodocs/docs/ProjDocs/. 4. I created a file called "getdir.php" which reads "docs/ProjDocs/", lists the files therein, creates a link to each file, and then redirects to the file "getdocfiles.php" after clicking a link. 5. I created a file called "getdocfiles.php" which opens and downloads the linked file. "getdocfiles.php defines the mime types of all the files I wish to download. 6. I created the headers exactly per the Zend article. 7. I uploaded both "getdir.php" and "getdocfile.php" to ../demo/web 8. Calling "getdir.php" displays my file list correctly. 9. Clicking on a link gives the following error messages and downloads the file to the browser in binary (or something ??)
Can you help me to understand these error messages. I have experimented with omitting the headers. The results is that I don't get the error messages and continue to receive the file in binary.
(NOTE: I get warnings for lines 70, 71, 73, and 74 when trying to open gif or pdf files I get warnings for lines 65, 73, and 74 when trying to open other files.)

------------------------------------------------------------------- There is obviously something wrong with how the headers are being sent. I read that they should be at the top. I tried eliminating all of the code except for the following few lines, and it works. That is, if I click on a link to a jpg file, it loads into the browser properly. This code obviously is not practical. Does it help in analyzing what was wrong with the full code?
<?php header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); ?>

The header() does not necessarily have to be at the top. The answer to this has been covered in the archives umpteen times (even more so than the protecting file download question).

Jochen,
First thing is to always search for an example of what you want. Rarely is anything new under the sun. Well, I have been searching and I have not found any good example ... I do what you want to do in Perl (I have not bothered to do it in PHP). Here is what I do in Perl in plain language:
On every instance of the script I get the current database schema in an array of arrays:
$database = new array( table1 => ( filed=>( type=int, or char or enum or date or lenght=>10 or 20 or 255 tec ) table2=> and so on )
So I have that. Then I want to insert data into the database. I ALWAYS have data in an array that has been parsed and validated and it's in a array of arrays (if necessary) as well.
So then I pass to the function as such This is Perl but you get the idea my $results = $self->{dbi}->insert_into_tables( data_model=>$self->{data_model}, data_hash=>$self->{input}, required=>\%required, tables=>[qw(user_config)], dbh=>$self->{dbh}, );
$self->{data_model} = database schema $self->{input} = the data that my script received from wherever it received it, it is put in an array of arrays as necessary %required = this is weak, but I pass which fields are required and it will fail if no data is associated with a required field tables=>[qw(user_config)], = that is an array of the tables that is in the database, data will get inserted for each table dbh=>$self->{dbh}, = that's the database handler
insert_into_tables = the function that accepts the data and iterates over everything to verify that everythign is what it should be, it returns information that I store in the $results array.
Someone must be doing somethin gsimilar to this in PHP. When inserting or updating you repeat the same code over and over, why not centralize it.
I did not find it. You should post to the DB list.

You can read what the Apache Group has to say about Digest Authentication at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html#digest
It's not really any better the Basic. While user/password is encryted the data is still sent in cleartext. And if someone captures the encrypted user/password values, they can send it and get the page.

I was thinking manually implementing it, if that was even possible. Also, it was my impression that both the latest Netscape and Mozilla supported it as well. I was aware that there's an incompatibility with IE5's implementation with Apache's implementation (and Mozilla's with IIS's as well), but I could not find anything stating whether this issue was resolved with IE6 or not...

Actually, it is better in at least one respect. Since many people tend to use the same password for multiple sites/services, Digest does not allow someone to see the original password. Yes, they may be able to use the hashed version to gain access to a single service, but that would be it. Also, from what I read in the RFC (http://www.merit.edu/internet/documents/rfc/rfc2617.txt), there are techniques to limit replay attacks (even stop them entirely if you don't mind the overhead).
I am not saying that the use of Digest Authentication is ideal, but it is an improvement over Basic authentication and much less costly when SSL (esp. when SSL is overkill for my needs).

Oaky, it was Opera and Amaya, not Netscape and Mozilla. sorry about that... Still, they only worked with Apache, while IE5 only worked with IIS.

Do you mean NTLM authentication?

I think he means what he says - digest authentication.
NTLM authentication is a Microsoft thing and as such is supported by Microsoft products and pretty much no one else.

That is very wrong. NTLM is based on exchanging digest messages. It is not supported just by Microsoft products. There is even an Apache NTLM authentication module for Unix/Linux. Mozilla/Netscape 6/7 support NTLM. So, as you may see this is not just a Microsoft thing, regardless if this is what the original poster meant.
Anyway, PHP is not an anti-Microsoft thing regardless what some PHP users or developers think. PHP has a lot to gain in working with Microsoft products because many users have choosen such products, whether you like it or not.
As a matter of fact, in a recent poll that is still running, 53% of the inquired develoipers use Windows as their production environment to run PHP applications. In some countries the rate is even much higher.
There is a great demand for NTLM authentication among Windows PHP users because that lets user login in Web applications without having to enter their credentials again after already having done so in the Windows logon. That is why I asked if was that the orginal poster could be asking.
I do not use or recommend Windows, but I wish some PHP people stop being so stupidly against Microsoft products because that is like shooting yourself in the feet as more and more of the remaining PHP jobs are Windows based.

No, I had not meant NTLM authentication. However, support for this wouldn't hurt as well, I suppose. What I am looking to do is something like the following:
if browser supports digest authentication use digest authentication else use basic authentication
right now, though, it looks like I will be using basic authentication only, since most browsers support it. If it becomes necessary, I will use SSL to encrypt both the authentication headers (and everything else), but I would like to avoid this if possible. In my case, I am more concerned about someone stealing login information that I am about someone seeing something they shouldn't see. With basic authentication, there is a risk of the first. With digest authentication (done properly), there is only a risk of the second. And since most of the viewable data will be public anyhow, this is not much of a concern... for now...

Just specify both methods by that order and the browser will use the first that it supports.

If you can use NTLM authentication it could be a good thing because it would not require users to enter passwords to access your site. PHP does not have built-in support for it, but there are Web server modules that support it and even handle credentials caching for you.
Anyway, if you are looking for a more browser independent message, you may want to try using forms based authentication using md5 to encrypt the passwords. It will require a Javascript enabled browser but that is more than 95% of the browsers.
Here you may find an example that works that way:
http://www.phpclasses.org/login.html
Here you may find a forms class with an example that demonstrates how that kind of authentication can be used.

The only Apache support I know of is mod_ntlm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/modntlm/). As I understand, this module is very untested and unused. I'm not aware of support in either Netscape 6/7 or Mozilla. Care to give a reference?

I'm not sure where you get the anti-Microsoft sentiment. Microsoft simply doesn't make a habit of using open standards or opening their own (NTLM, for example). Thus, one can logically conclude that support for Microsoft technologies traditionally lies largely in Microsoft products alone. Yes, there are exceptions (Samba), but no one suggested that NTLM was *only* supported by Microsoft products.
If you wish to refute this, please give us a reference to the NTLM specification.
Happy hacking.

There are versions for Apache under Unix and under Windows. Besides that there are Perl based NTLM authentication modules, not to mention support for Java and Python.
Only support for PHP seems to not be available. That seems to be due to the fact that the code is based on libsmbclient that is only available under GPL and GPL code is not accepted for PHP because of the contagious aspect of GPL license.

Thanks. I was not aware of this activity. As the only information referencing NTLM on this page is dated August 8, I think it is safe to assume that Netscape 6 does not support NTLM nor does any released version of Mozilla, correct? Your initial comments seemed to indicate that they do. However, it does indicate that Mozilla support for this is coming (and exists in the CVS snapshots after August 8), so thanks for the link.

Yes, as I also just said, "support for Microsoft technologies traditionally lies largely in Microsoft products alone." There are certain words that remove the absoluteness of statements. For example:
I always win. != I almost always win. I almost always win. == I pretty much always win.
My first comment was very brief, as I assumed most people could infer the longer version quoted above.

The opening sentence of this document proves my point:
"This is an attempt at documenting the undocumented NTLM authentication scheme."
or this statement:
"Since most of this info is reverse-engineered it is bound to contain errors."
The point is, while this "attempt at documenting" NTLM might be perfectly accurate, there is no guarantee of that. NTML is a closed "standard," and there is no documented specification for it. To interoperate with many of Microsoft's closed protocols and standards, people are forced to reverse-engineer something. This is exactly what was necessary for Samba to be created. It follows suit that the more difficult it is to create compatible software with a specific protocol or standard, the less software will be created for that particular protocol or standard. Since Microsoft can build software with the benefit of the actual specification, their software is more likely to support it.
Happy hacking.

The problem with this is that I am attempting to implement a RESTful webservice. I do not want to use PHP's session handling because it tries to do things that I do not want done (like sending cookies). In order to work within the REST principles, I also do not want alter my URLs by passing around a Session ID. As a result, my options are very limited, hence the HTTP Authentication scheme.
Using an HTML form would be nice (and would look *much* nicer), but it still requires me to assign and keep track of some sort of session ID, which would mean the use of cookies or modifying my URLs (either altering the path or adding a querystring).

What I meant is that Mozilla which is indeed the same program just bundled differently from Netscape 6/7 have the support for this.

Actually the feature is older but was not as complete and tested as it is now that the developer released it as official. Look in the Bugzilla report history.

The way you have put it, it sounded as if this authentication method is only useful if you use only Microsoft products alone, which is not true. Maybe you should have been clearer.

Personally I do not care for the rhetoric. What I care is that with this reverse engineered information it was possible to build Samba and HTTP NTLM authetication modules that make viable for non-Microsoft products be used in applications where PHP can be used as a viable solution, thus providing job opportunities for many people like us that have been working mostly with PHP.

if your selling to US users or users already signed up with paypal, then you'll have few problems, if you want to sell to the rest of the world then you will have a high drop out rate due to paypals insistence on loading a US form as default, which your buyer will have to scroll down and find an outside the US link to get to the right page, this tends to confuse the user and annoy them as well as they try to submit the US form.

I am looking to do some sort of content promotion tool for a site that I am working on. Now I am doing this, because the people who are running it know nothing about databases, or exports or anything like that, so I though I would make it easy for them.
So anyway what I have is a "staging" database and a "production" database, now some tables need updates and inserts, some tables need inserts and some can just blow away the table and go from there.
I am starting with the hardest one, this one carries data that is different from production and stage. So the production data in certain fields cannot be touched. So my thought is to compare the two tables, and of course on stage there will be more, so I grab the ids of the ones that are missing on production from stage and write the insert statement, after that is done I then run the update sql to turn the correct data online.
Okay there are other pieces, but where I am having troble is doing the compare, I want it to look at stage and say I have 5 rows, and look at production and say I have 2 rows, now it will say get the ids from stage that dont have counter parts on production.
Any thoughts ????
thanks

None I can think of unless you are using the UNIX Non-Graphical browser
lynx and upon a certain user action you execute:
if User Does A-B-C-D{ shell_exec() "coupled with the lynx commands lynx http://www.RedirectPage" }
That would be kind of silly though considering I don't know of a single person who uses browsers that don't have GUIs incorporated into them...

It seems to me that this is something that you can test pretty easily for yourself. Create a small php test script that tries to create a directory and see what happens.
If you actually do this you'll learn more than if someone provides you with an answer.
In the end, you'll find yourself a much better programmer if you learn how to answer your own questions most of the time - particularly if you learn how to test things to see how they work.
In all honesty, the only way I could answer this question would be to try it for myself - since you can do that for yourself why should I?

I talk about a session array. ($_SESSION)
Bye
attached mail follows:
Your question was already answered but you didn't understand. The $_SESSION var works just like any other. There's absolutely nothing special happening except that anything set to the $_SESSION array is automatically stored in the Session File on the server which you can call into other scripts with session_start(); It seems that Sessions confuse a lot of people but hopefully this make more sense now. :)
<? // page1.php session_start();
$_SESSION[0][0] = 'Row 1: Column 1'; $_SESSION[1][0] = 'Row 2: Column 1'; $_SESSION[0][1] = 'Row 1: Column 2'; $_SESSION[1][1] = 'Row 2: Column 2';
echo '<p><a href="page2.php">- Loop Array -</a>'; ?> ------- <? // page2.php session_start();

I am not sure this will reply to your question, but it is always worth to know this : if you need to save complex data structures such as n-dimension arrays, objects and so on in a cookie or in a DB, then there is a way to convert the data structure into a string with the function serialize(); and unserialize(); see : http://www.php.net/serialize

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... I just need a simple clarification beyond what is in the manual.
When using mkdir()on WINDOWS do you specify the path string to start from where the script that is calling mkdir() is located..?
Like... mkdir(../current/dir_to_be_made,0700);
or do you have to enter the entire path from the main drive?
Like... mkdir(C:/top/current/dir_to_be_made,0700);
The manual didn't specify, and I am trying to trouble shoot why my calls are being denied.

I haven't tried either option lately so I couldn't say for certain but I suspect that either will work so long as you have the paths right. Set up a small test script for yourself and try it. I'm suggesting using a small test script as it lets you test this particular item in isolation so you can figure out what it is doing. Then you can apply what you learn to the script you're trying to trouble-shoot and if it still doesn't work you can then look elsewhere for the problem.

The problem is that if you're sending that number of mail then you shouldn't be using PHP anyway. You should be using some real mailing-list manager.

If you use the wddx serializer you should be able to share sessions across the two systems. Not that I have ever tried it, but that is the theory anyway.

attached mail follows:
is there any reason why i shouldn't put my session_start(); in my include.php (which I include on all my *.php??)
attached mail follows:
I think my session_start; statment is devouring the variables that are posted with my form. Here are the basics (pseudo code):
<? include(includes.php); // the first line of this php file is "session_start();" printr($_POST) //debugging echo ($submit)//debugging
if(form was filled in and posted) check login/password agains mysql database info; else display form;
?>
The weird part is my debugs dont quite match...
$_POST = Array ['username']=>test, ['password']=test-pword, ['submit']=submit; $submit = NULL;
What gives?
attached mail follows:
Please try this:
printr($_POST) //debugging import_request_variables('p', 'p_'); echo ($p_submit)//debugging

If you only want to output static information in PHP, just do this instead:
<a href="bar.php?color=blue">Blue</a>
>In bar.php: ><? echo "You have choosen $color"; ?> // Should print blue? >
This example assumes that register globals is turned on. If it is not working for you, it is likely that this is not the case for you. Try this instead:
<? echo "You have chosen" . $_GET["color"]; ?>
Happy hacking.
