Ok, Help me out on this one.

As far as i can tell, xml documents store data..pretty much just a dababase. Now please, correct me on anything I say incorrectly...But i just cannot seem to grasp the point of using XML over MySQL.

Can anyone direct me to a page with xml in use? Something that can help me grasp what its all about.

Thank you,

attached mail follows:

Hi,

XML, eXtensible Markup Language. Meta-language. XML allows you to create your own variables and meta names. You should read some doc about it. Btw your question has nothing to do with PHP but really with XML you should take a look to the XML's mailing list they will help you better than we can.

I didn't understand xml at all until I started using it . I asked pretty much the same question as you (what is it good for?). Now I will almost always use xml in any app I work on.

One application that is simply wonderful is xsl transformations. This allows you to take xml and transform it into html, wml, pdf, rtf , etc...

What this ultimately means to me is seperation of presentation from logic and data which makes for a very flexible and easy to maintain application.

I have made a php class to make a database query into xml in the form of: <record><fieldname> value </fieldname></record>

Now stuff I used to do that took a whole page to code nows uses about 5 lines. This is a real world benefit for me.

Spend some time learning about xml and you won't regret it

attached mail follows:

I'm writting an application, a control panel for a web site, and it will be great if I can separe data from presentation, I know that I have to work with XML and XSL but I didn't understand how it works.

Can you give me a simple example?

Let guess that a client request index.php, and I have index.xml for the data, index.xsl for the data transformation and index.php, how it works?

Thanks Juan, and other listers,

I have this example,

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Figure 7-3</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <? //check for file upload if(isset($UploadedFile)) { unlink($UploadedFile); print("Local File: $UploadedFile <BR>\n"); print("Name: $UploadedFile_name <BR>\n"); print("Size: $UploadedFile_size <BR>\n"); print("Type: $UploadedFile_type <BR>\n"); print("<HR>\n"); } ?> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="7-3.php" METHOD="post"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="4096000"> <INPUT NAME="UploadedFile" TYPE="file"> <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Upload"> </FORM>

</BODY> </HTML>

and the result is this after I uploaded a file

Local File: /tmp/phpnYLV2J Name: 323lake.jpg Size: 48254 Type: image/pjpeg

But I couldn't find the uploaded file, nor the /tmp/phpnYLV2J path. Do I normally do a copy after the upload? Can I just change the tmp path and filename when I upload? Thanks.

You are doing wrong... you are checking for the temp file and after that you are deleting the temp file, you should copy the files first

This is your code

if(isset($UploadedFile)) { unlink($UploadedFile); // Here you are deleting the temp file print("Local File: $UploadedFile <BR>\n"); print("Name: $UploadedFile_name <BR>\n"); print("Size: $UploadedFile_size <BR>\n"); print("Type: $UploadedFile_type <BR>\n"); print("<HR>\n"); }

You should write something like this

if(isset($UploadedFile)) { copy($UploadedFile, "/uploaded_files/" . $UploadedFile_name); // Here we first copy the temp file to a secure path, you should change the /uploaded_files/

// path print("Local File: $UploadedFile <BR>\n"); print("Name: $UploadedFile_name <BR>\n"); print("Size: $UploadedFile_size <BR>\n"); print("Type: $UploadedFile_type <BR>\n"); print("<HR>\n");

Hi Øystein,

PHP is interpreted on the server side, JS on the client side. I guess thats what you need to realize. Try starting with less complex stuff and just concentrate on one language at a time, in the beginning.

Hi Jim,

I had the very same strange issue with a cfg var not changing. It worked after using ini_restore(). (I played around with ini_set() before. Did you as well?)

I am not sure if it has anything to do with it. It sounds pretty illogical. But PHP ignoring a setting in php.ini sounds illogical as well, so it might be worth a try.

could it be that you want to do the following?:

   // primary php
   $foo = $_REQUEST["foo"]
   // I guess you want to do something with $foo here.
   $outputfromsecondaryphp = file("secondary.php?foo=".$foo)

Hi David,

in PHP, you can not access associative arrays with index numbers (and your mysql row arrays will be of the associative kind).

But Chris posted a kludge recently:

//snip Just for kicks ... here's something pretty ugly (I'd never use it), but neat if you're interested (or somehow really have your heart set on using integers). There are probably a handful of other ways to do this:

$test = array ( 'a' => 'A', 'b' => 'B', 'c' => 'C'); $test_keys = array_keys( $test ); print $test[$test_keys[2]]; // Prints "C" - Same as print $test['c'];

Hi,

I will appreciate if you have some sample code about opening a file from a UNIX server.

This is the code I wrote for this issue:

<?php // test program

$conn_id=0; $fich = fopen("servidor/afiedt.buf">ftp://usuario:claveservidor/afiedt.buf","r"); while ($fich[$i]) { echo $fich[$i]; echo "<br>"; $i++; } ?>

This is the message error/warning:

Warning: File not found in d:\apache\htdocs\lee_fichero2.php3 on line 3 Warning: file("servidor/afiedt.buf">ftp://...servidor/afiedt.buf") - No such file or directory in d:\apache\htdocs\lee_fichero2.php3 on line 3

In the other hand, my php version is 4.0

In the help of the command fopen(), it says:

If filename begins with "ftp://" (not case sensitive), an ftp connection to the specified server is opened and a pointer to the requested file is returned. If the server does not support passive mode ftp, this will fail. You can open files for either reading or writing via ftp (but not both simultaneously).

phpinfo() returns me the following ftp topic:

FTP support enabled

I just don't know what more can I do ...

Thanx in advance

If the remote file already exists on the ftp server and you attempt to open it for writing, this will fail. If you need to update existing files over ftp, use ftp_connect().

You should also read www.php.net/feof, www.php.net/fread You can't echo the var of fopen, you must use fread and verify you're not at the end of the file with

Eric,

I am certain I've said this on the list a few times, but here goes again. There is always going to be an inherit problem with trying to send multiple emails via a web interface IF you want to personalise each one. The reason for this is that each email has to be generated and qued individually on the mail server, which eats up server performance dramatically. Depending on your server, you will hit a snag somewhere (at 10 people, or 100 people or 500 people, or 10000 people), because either the server or browser will timeout, or the sysadmin of your host will shut you down for eating up server processing time.

The solution is to NOT send personalised emails. Send ONE email with everyone in the Bcc: field, and it should take maybe 3 seconds to que the email to 50,000+ people.

Another solution is to move your mailing list to a dedicated ml service provider (like sparklist), who will send a minimum of 50,000 emails anywhere you like, personalised, in HTML and plain text, blah blah blah for the minimum of US$50/month.

Currently I have one client who demands personalised emails. Luckily, it's a small list (200 people), and I break the send-out down to batches of 20 emails, split apart by 2 minutes (this could be done manually, or with META refresh tags, or even javascript).

Regards,

Justin

And why does the whole process even have to be web based? Fill out the form with the data, and submit sort-of a batch job, recieve a report in your inbox when it exits, c'est la vie.

Also, if using sendmail, you will benefit if you only queue up the mail, not attempt to deliver it upon submission, and let sendmail deliver it in a normal queue run. This way many/all messages destined to the same mail server will be delivered in one large transaction, not many small ones. A small gain, but it adds up.

I believe you may need serialize/unserialize here. Use serialize($array) to create a simple variable that can be passed, then at the other end, use unserialize to restore it.

If you are in a session you can register the array and it will be available on the next page, once you finish working with the array, just unregister the array.

File2.php session_start(); Work with $foo session_unregister("foo");

in your shell do: ldd `which php`

it will most likely say something like: 'libmm.so.11 not found'

you will then need to find the 'mm' library on the system, perhaps with: find /usr/lib -name \*mm\* find /usr/local/lib -name \*mm\* and set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly, or call the PHP binary with the library preloaded: 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libmm.so.11 php'

or I might be way off base ;)

Hey all. I do most of my coding on win98 before uploading it to my web host running linux. I'm running the windows versions of apache/mysql/php. I'm using the cgi version of php. I also run the personal firewall software, zone alarm. When zone alarm is running it slows php/mysql down so much that the script usually times out. I have given these programs the permissions that they need in zone alarm. Zone alarm doesn't keep them from running, it just makes them really slow. It doesn't run slow unless I query the mysql DB from a php page. Php in and of itself is not slow, just when used in conjunction with mysql. Also, when I use mysql from the command line it doesn't seem to be slow.

I know this isn't necessarily a php issue, but thought maybe some of you may have run into a problem like this before and would know a remedy.

Any help appreciated.

The real problem could be in the include files though!

You might start doing the following 1) check if your internet server allows access to the other directories (like ../recycle and ../). I suppose that you did not forget to copy these files too ;-) 2) compare the php.ini of your test system and the internet server. Differences might give a clue to the problem 3) view the source code of the 'blank page' . Is it realy blank? It might contain a bit of HTML output that can give a hint of were your script stops 4) include error_reporting(E_ALL); as first line of code in your php-scripts. It might help debugging 5) does your internet server have access to the database? Is it the same database? Arre the access rights the same? 6) run this script on both machines and look for differences in the outputs: <?php php_info() ?>

Good luck

Eh.. unchecked code, but what about:

$this->b[0] = new one; $this->b[1] = new one;

$test = new two;

Instead of $this->b[0] = new one(); $this->b[1] = new one();

$test = new two();

If no luck try to include error_reporting(E_ALL); as first line of your script.

Good luck
