you just name the form elements as array elements, e.g. with explicit keys
name='array[0]' name='array[1]' etc.
or allowing php to assign the keys
name='array[]' name='array[]' etc.

then the array is an element of $HTTP_POST_VARS[] when the form is posted

Hi Guys / gals,

I ran a test recently sending emails to a list of clients (1000 or so)
from a PHP / MySQL powered system.
When sending via Sendmail this was VERY slow, taking several minutes to
complete.
When I switched over to Qmail the whole process takes only 10 or 15
seconds.
Seems it's the MTA that causes the biggest overhead in the equation... and
Qmail is so much nicer than Sendmail!
Cheers,

Andy

IIRC it is also an area where the Windows implementation of PHP is superior (for a pleasant change) on a volume/performance basis (I read somewhere that this is because a stub SMTP service is included in the interface).

That is because you have configured sendmail to send messages immediatly if possible. If you configure it to just queue the messages and not wait for having them delivered right away, it will pratically as fast as qmail because it will be doing as less.

I don't get where people get these ideas. Queuing messages to the local SMTP server as is done in PHP for Windows, is the slowest way to queue messages because it requires a TCP connection where each address has to be accepted individually by the SMTP server.

This is very slow when compared with direct injection of messages in the mail queue which is what Unix MTAs do.

There seems to be better ways to queue messages under Windows than just send them to the local SMTP server.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create a "transparent download" using a script (the script would run from my local machine) that will request a file from a remote server, that looks like this (https request): https://www.httpsserver.net/Pages/Download.asp?usr=test&pass=test&from=05/01 /02&to=09/03/02 This link will trigger an excel file download.

I tryed with fsockopen() and fopen() but no luck. Also the Header ("Location: $myurl") starts the download but redirect the user to httpsserver. Any ideas and hints to start this transparent download would be much appreciated. Maybe to use a popup window?

Many Thanks, Radu

Do you have SSL library installed? check that PHPINFO() i guess.

You can also try to run curl() (if they have SSL support).

Otherwise, It will be hard to implement SSL from pure PHP sockets functions.

There is a download script (commonly used for restricting downloads to members, etc) on Zend.com... if you can't find it (in tutorials or articles), let me know.

It should give you a good understanding of the principals, and a decent head start on the code, as it did for me.

I don't think there will be any problem with SSL (https://) as long as your server is set-up for it...

I'm having a problem with socket read, it's only reading one character. This may not sound so bad, but when you think that while it's reading all those one characters, it cannot read anyone else's (it blocks).

Can anyone explain, or have a better way of doing this?

Code below: <?php set_time_limit(0);

define('MAXLINE', 255); define('LISTENQ', 10); define('PORT', 10000);

function killDaemon() { global $listenfd, $client;

socket_close($listenfd); $msg = "Daemon going down!\n"; for ($i = 0; $i < count($client); $i++) { if ($client[$i] != null) { socket_write($client[$i], $msg, strlen($msg)); socket_close($client[$i]); } } print "Shutting down the daemon\n"; exit(); }

function closeClient($i) { global $client, $remote_host, $remote_port;

print "closing client[$i] ({$remote_host[$i]}:{$remote_port[$i]})\n";

socket_close($client[$i]); $client[$i] = null; unset($remote_host[$i]); unset($remote_port[$i]); }

$listenfd = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); if ($listenfd) print "Listening on port " . PORT . "\n"; else die("AIEE -- socket died!\n");

socket_setopt($listenfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1); if (!socket_bind($listenfd, "127.0.0.1", PORT)) { socket_close($listenfd); die("AIEE -- Couldn't bind!\n"); } socket_listen($listenfd, LISTENQ);

for ($i = 0; $i < 1; $i++) $client[$i] = null;

while(1) { $rfds[0] = $listenfd;

$nready = socket_select($rfds, $null, $null, null);

if (in_array($listenfd, $rfds)) { print "listenfd heard something, setting up new client\n"; for ($i = 0; $i <= count($client); $i++) { if ($client[$i] == null) { $client[$i] = socket_accept($listenfd); socket_setopt($client[$i], SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1); socket_getpeername($client[$i], $remote_host[$i], $remote_port[$i]); socket_write($client[$i], "Welcome to my test server\r\n"); print "Accepted {$remote_host[$i]}:{$remote_port[$i]} as client[$i]\n"; break; } } if (--$nready <= 0) continue; }

} //end of master loop ?>

There is a perfecting good working example of file uploads on php.net... never quite sure why people re-invent the wheel all the time.

In the example (at http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php), they make a call to move_uploaded_file()... until you do that, and move it to where you want, it IS in the temporary location, set my php.ini, although it may get deleted at the end of the script if it hasn't been moved elsewhere... you need to move the uploaded file to an area within your disc hierarchy.

I'm new to both PHP, LDAP and SSL so I'm really asking for direction on where to start.

I have an OpenLDAP server on a Linux box, and a Microsoft ISS on Windows 2000 with PHP-scripting. I have made a couple of PHP scripts that access the LDAP database for reading and writing. All works fine so fare.

I have installed a certificate on both the Web server and the LDAP server and moved to https communication between the client and the Web server. Now I want to move to SSL communication between the Web server and the LDAP server.

I can make an ldap_connect with the ldaps://hostname/ parameter but what next: How can make an ldap_bind command? How can I encrypt and decrypt the data? How do I specify a key/certificate for encrypting and decrypting?

Hi all,

I'm setting up a test server with Apache 2.0.40 and php. I downloaded the latest php4 snapshot, compiled and installed it (a real PITA, but I managed), added

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

and

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

to httpd.conf, but my browser still doesn't show a php test page, it rather prompts for download.

This is on Solaris 8, and AFAICT apache is configured for prefork. What did I miss?

# ./bin/httpd -l Compiled in modules: core.c mod_access.c mod_auth.c mod_include.c mod_log_config.c mod_env.c mod_setenvif.c mod_ssl.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_mime.c mod_status.c mod_autoindex.c mod_asis.c mod_cgi.c mod_negotiation.c mod_dir.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_so.c

http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp has some tutorials.. It helped me understand the basics of XML and what it can be used for.. They also have some XSL(T) information and tutorials (http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp) as well..

Sorry for the off topic, but in fact XML is not that hard to learn, it's just custom markup that needs to follow certain rules. The important part is the parser or the program logic to work with the XML documents, IMHO.

Sorry again.

Hi folks,

I might be late to the game with these questions, but I've just been bit by the register_globals=off situation.

I'm trying to figure out the scope of what I need to change to accomodate register_globals=off, and I need some help.

Looking around php.net, for example:

'If register_globals = on, the url http://www.example.com/test.php?id=3 will produce $id.' I can only assume with register globals being set to off, the reverse of this would be true. If so, how do I get the value of id in that case?

Kelly

attached mail follows:

use

$_GET[id]

in the place of $id for each instance. Like if you had $new = $id + 1 change it to $new = $_GET[id] + 1

and such...

Right, but you need to insert your code block in a way that it is executed and then returns the name of a swf to load. Right now you are loading the client side object/embed tags that then calls another PHP file that returns the name or value of your SWF. You need to combine the two files and return the value of the SWF on the first parse so the filepath is there once the object/embed tags are rendered on the client side.

I hope that makes sense, -- Mike

I don't thin I understand that... :) Can you give me an example. Or if I understand correctly, I have to use "interface", a .swf file (caled with <object> tags) and this .swf file have to get information (data form database) throught .php file...?

I would like to enter a "while" loop, but: I want it to be like this:

when $a has a value, while $a... when $b has a value, while $b... (same statements as with $a) when $a has a value, and $b has a value, while $a and $b

this is based on a search system in which the user can enter a, b or a and b.

Where are you generating the query and fetching the row?

And what are the queries being run?

Possibly a better way to do the first bit would be as follows:

$and = ""; if ($itemname) { echo $n." ".$name."</font>"; $and = " and "; } if ($itemcolor) { echo $and.$c." ".$color."</font>"; }

(I've condensed the multiple echo statements into one to reduce the number of lines, but this is more about the logic)

Depending on what your query is searching on and returning, you may be able to do it in a single query.

}

so the above if statements handle the same problem. if $itemname has a value, print $n and $name if $itemcolor has a value, print $c and $color if $itemcolor has a value and $itemname has a value, the following will be printed: $n $name "and" $c $color

After this if statement, a while statement is entered:

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_row($itemname)) { a lot of echo's }

but what if, itemname is empty, but itemcolor is not. or what to do if both have a value?!

I hope this explanes my problem more clearly!?

Closing frames and windows is done client side, so PHP can't do that. Besides, closing these things is done with Javascript, so you can't around it if you want to add this functionality.

Hi,

I'm looking for a PHP (among other things) Line Of Code counter. Has anyone used any descent ones? I was thinking of writing one myself, but, if there are others available, I might as well save the time.

There is much debate over the appropriateness of LOC as a measurement, I have chewed up a lot of time with discussion over this so I'm not going to bite this time :)

I like this quick and dirty solution which doesn't count lines with just braces or just whitespace. nor does it count C++ style comment lines. I have it in my .bashrc file:

alias countcode='cat *.inc */*.inc */*/*.inc */*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*/*/*.inc */*/*/*/*/*/*/*.inc | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*$'\'' | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*[{}][[:space:]]*$'\'' | grep -v '\''^[[:space:]]*//'\'' | grep -v '\''^<?//'\'' | grep -c '\''.*'\'''

Then from my linux command line I just type countcode. And yes I know I could have come up with something better than */*/*/..., but like I said "QUICK AND DIRTY" :)

Cheers, Rob.

Virtuoso http://www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso can do the opposite - represent tables and SQL queries, either from relational data in Virtuoso or another back-end database (including MySQL and all the usual suspects) and provide an XML document in real time for PHP to use.

Virtuoso Universal Server is available as a free download - let me know what you think.

I have a project that I need some help/suggestions on (actually, it's been "there" for over 3 years now, I just never addressed it.) I need to, somehow, make our company website "easier". When I say easier, I'm referring to how data gets posted on it. 90% of all of our pages contain prices for our products/services. A typical product/service page would consist of three main elements:

- a description of said product/service - a price matrix - comments, notes and other pertinent information

Some products are listed together right now and this will change (I will be listing everything on its own page, makes it easier to maintain later.)

The price matrix varies by product/service. Some are small (a few columns, few rows), others are massive. I could possibly break down the comments section as well into smaller pieces (service time, notes, links to related services, etc., etc.), but for now these are the three main parts I will concentrate on.

Right now, we have well over 500 pages of static information, and it gets to be a real pain whenever things get updated, or we change our products/services (some disappear, new one get added.)

Things I want to do:

- convert this site into a dynamic one, where I can very easily change the layout of things whenever it comes time to revamp the site into a new design. - insert all the products, their prices and related data into a database (which would tie in with the above item, maybe by means of functions, say, 'function show_product('inkjet_prints')' and have it create a page to present) - make it so that those responsible for price changes can make their own changes to the database, so I don't have to deal with it every time.

I suspect many of you will tell me to use phpMyAdmin for the latter, however I need to keep in mind that these people are illiterate, and trying to teach them how to use something is like teaching a cat how to use the toilet (and even that has better success.) So, I would prefer some other method. Maybe a form page that has everything on it (top field for description, bunch of little input fields for the price matrix, and the stuff at the end), however I don't know how efficient that would be, specially on large matrices.

I'd like to hear from people with some real life experience doing this. My whole issue with wanting to do this now is because of health issues. I'm trying to cut back on the amount of work I need to do.

For those wanting to browse and see what kind of structure I have to deal with now, feel free. The site is listed in my signature.

I have not worked with any of the templating systems, but here is a home-grown one. Separate the page HTML into 3 pieces. Two of the pieces form the "shell", which is the HTML that is constant across groups of pages. The third piece is the HTML that varies with each page. Build the two shell files so that they form an empty <td>, into which the dynamic piece goes:

<? include("htmlShellHead.inc"); buildCurrentPage(); // or another include() include("htmlShellFoot.inc"); ?>

Then, if you need to add a right-hand sidebar, for example, you just edit the shell files, and all the pages using that shell get updated at once. Simple way to update the look and feel across the whole site.

Sounds good.

Making your own forms is probably best. We have done this with Java applets, which may be overkill for you. The main thing to think about here is authentication: making sure people can access only their own data and nobody else's. Also, make sure everyone involved shares a clear idea of who bears responsibility for update mistakes. If the user has the ability to change their data, they have the ability to screw it up. Make a clear oversight plan: how much reviewing of their changes you will do before the changes go live, etc.

Good luck!

Only three people will ever get to do these updates, and I'm one of them.

Zip, none, no reviewing at all. At least, not from my part. They get to do their own damned reviewing, and if they screw up, being that they're the president and VP, they get to deal with the customer, not me. Not customer service.

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hi

I have a problem with caching on IE 5.1.4 on Mac Os X. (PHP 4.0.5)

The page I want to use is a simple file upload page that works by:

<?php if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'] == "submit") { then upload the file... } ?> Rest of document.

The form action returns to the same page (to allow you to upload another file).

This works fine, but if you press the refresh btn, the file keeps uploading pictures. If you click in the address bar & press return, this does not happen.

I have included the http headers to prevent caching as described in the documentation, but this hasn't seemed to work.

Is this a quirk of the browser/os combination or is there something i'm missing.

TIA

Roland

attached mail follows:

Hi, Roland,

There might be a better way to do this, but you could try to use the header() function after your upload takes place to redirect the browser to the same page, using GET. Something like...

<?php if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit'] == "submit") { then upload the file... header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."); } ?>

Or something like that. HTH, Jed

Use header("Location: page.php"); to redirect the browser, you should allways do it after a post that changes or adds or deletes some data on the server.

Oops. There was an extra period at the end there (after PHP_SELF).

[snip] Our box recently went down and after reconfiguring it we're left with a semi-operation mySQL. One error I'm getting is this:

mysql> select region from clip_art where region is not null and released = 'yes' group by region; ERROR 1: Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sqld0e_76_1.MYI' (Errcode: 13)

Removing the "group by" clause prevents the error. [/snip]

Using perror 13 I get;

rootmyserver:/var/www/htdocs# perror 13 Error code 13: Permission denied

So perhaps /tmp/ or #sqld0e_76_1.MYI has the wrong permissions

I don't think that there is a method to return it. I looked through php.net (searched millisecond and milliseconds) and found some things which might point you in the right direction.

If you are looking for milliseconds on the current time, see the examples on microtime(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.microtime.php

Here is a summary of how to get milliseconds:

list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); $milliseconds = (((float)$usec/1000) + (float)$sec);

I haven't tested this out, but it looks right.

I don't know how to work with XML... I know that it's a good standard to pass information between computer or applications, but I don't know how to separe my data from my presentation on my PHP projects.

I always use OOP, I organize all the data in databases and clases, but I always have to put some code on my presentation files, like index.php, viewstock.php, and it will be great if I can organize my projects so the presentation can be handled by any designersm, at this time I always have to make the changes on the presentation files because I am the one who know about PHP.

Can you give some example about how to separate the data from the presentation using XML and databases? Or can you tell me about a project where I can see it?

Thank you.

Ok, thank you.... just one more doubt Is it threading safe?

For example: At 13:30:10 [Proccess 1] cliente request index.php At 13:30:11 [Proccess 1] index.php is putting the content of the querey into index.xml At 13:30:12 [Proccess 2]a new client request index.php At 13:30:13 [Proccess 2]a new instance of index.php is invoked and it starts to put the content of the query into index.xml, but [Proccess 1] is still working with index.xml

What happends?

what would be the best, most efficient way to print something every three times a loop runs

for ($i=0; $i<$num_products; $i++) { echo "something"; }

this happens every time it runs and has to stay that way but every three times i want to print additional info.

Any help appreciated.

attached mail follows:

add the following:

if( $i % 3 == 0 ) { print("something else"); }

You might need to vary the zero in that equation to get it to print at the "right time" by which I mean, the above will print "something else" on the first iteration of the below loop.

This is basic, and syntax is not checked...

if( is_array( ($words = split( '[[:space:]]+', $GET['keywordInput'] )) ) && count( $words ) > 0 ) { // // Initialize query. // $qString = 'SELECT xx, yy, .. FROM foo_table ' .'WHERE ';

// // Create condition clause from word list. // foreach( $words as $word ) { $qString .= "zz LIKE '%".addSlashes( $word )."% AND "; }

// // Trim the extraneous AND. // $qString = substr( $qString, whatever goes here to trim AND );

// // Perform query. // }

Hi Javier,

I think parsing the listing into a multidemensional array is the answer. But actually, I do not yet know how that would look like in PHP. But I can give you an example of how it is done in ActionScript (Ecmascript).

file_arr[n] = [name, date]

Now you can sort file_arr by file_arr[n][0] (name) or file_arr[n][1] (date).

Hope it helps, Timo

I think

for($i=0; $i<100;$i++){ // do something sleep(1); };

makes more sense.

If that is already to much sleep:

$sleepinterval = 10; $s = $sleepinterval; for ($i=0; $i<100;$i++) { // do something if (!$s--) {sleep(1);$s = $sleepinterval;}; };

On every 10th (or whatever you define as $sleepinterval) iteration, the interpreter will sleep for a second.

But this still aint a sophisticated load balancing :-)
