I need to get the fully qualified host name of the local machine, like
"server.somewhere.com". Sounds simple, right? Seems not.
I'm running a CLI script in PHP 4.3-cvs (on OpenBSD) so I have no HTTP
or other global vars to look at, and it doesn't seem to be lying about
in my environment (not that I want to rely on that anyway).
The posix_uname command doesn't include the domain on non-GNU OSs. I
can get the hostname, but not the domain. Can I get it through some
other PHP command?
I'd really prefer not to resort to platform-specifics like rummaging in
/etc and parsing config files or doing something silly like a reverse
DNS lookup...
On some OS, this will give me the hostname:
$hostname = `/bin/hostname`;
However, it doesn't give me the domain, and it's highly platform
specific (i.e. it won't work on Win).
This seems like a pretty fundamental function that should be a
built-in, but it doesn't seem to be possible to do this in a
platform-independent way.
Have I missed some php_fqdn() function?
Any better ideas?

Hello,
I have:
$x = array('str1','str2','str3');
I want to convert that array to a valid javascript syntax as:
var x = ['str1','str2','str3']
I can do this in PHP:
echo sprintf("x=[%s]", join(',', $x));
but that would produce:
x = [str1, str2, str3]
is there is a fast way (other than doing a loop) to have join put quote
around each array value before joining? so final result looks like:
['str1','str2',...
Thanks,

Elias,
did you actually tried that? Because it does produce what you want...
<?
$x = Array( 'str1', 'str2', 'str3' );
echo sprintf("x=['%s']", join("','", $x));
?>
produces:
x=['str1','str2','str3']

Nope. Why would they type it? The session is managed by PHP's session functions... if 'page.php' has a session_start() call, it will assign a PHPSESSID.
Yes, they may acidently "bookmark" or "favourite" a session ID, and you'd have to read up / test on the implications of this, but given there are only three options, you have to work through them.
If they work for amazon, they can work for you... If you rule out cookies and POST, then guess what you're left with :)

Won't work, or you don't want to use them?

Why would the user have to type in a URL with a session id? Your session ids are only good while the user is active and they will expire after a certain amount of time.
> % Why do you not wish to use URLs? > > Because they're cluttered and it puts the session ID also in the user's > goto cache.
Again, why does that matter because that ID is only good while the user is active. When they log out, it's worthless, or after a certain amount of inactive time, it's worthless...

Hi
How to set cookies using header() function and using setcookie function?
Setcookie('testcookie','Balaji',time()+3600,'/','10.145.0.1',1);
If I want to write same thing with header function how can I do that?
Is it like
header("Set-Cookie: name=testcookie,value=Balaji,domain=10.145.0.1,secure=1")
or
header("Set-Cookie: testcookie,Balaji,10.145.0.1,1")

I'm wanting to use PHP to make updating an entire site easier by using include() [I think that's the function] to include navigation bars, notices, etc. on multiple pages. What's the best way to do that, and is it possible to keep the included files from being indexed/viewed on their own (possibly by password protecting [htaccess] the directory they are in)? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
The best way to do this (it's only my opinion, I'm sure there are many other ways but this way works for me) is to create a .php file and fill it with your most commonly used functions. You can use a .inc file, which is probably recommended, but you will need to tell the server not to display this file. You can do this in php.ini but it will complicate things right now.
For a header, use a function name like drawHeader() or something and then put all your database connection, navigation, page formatting etc in that function.
Then, on all your pages, you just need to add the following at the top.
<? include("yourincfile.php"); drawHeader(); ?>
This will draw you header the same on all pages that you include the above with. If someone navigates to yourincudefile.php all they should see is an empty page because all the code is inside functions.
Hope this helps Andy.

Yes that is the proper usage.
Maybe you could check the referrer and only display if from the webserver? I can't remember if a .htaccess would work with that sort of thing, as password protecting would of course require a password :) Unless this isn't a public site and you want a password.

Yes, you can use .htacess for that purpose though you don't need to password protect the folder. I'm sure if you check the archives you'll find a way to do it.

www.phpdoc.de - used by PEAR, scattered documentation http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net - lots more documentation, hate the framed output http://www.ez.no/article/articlestatic/35/1/42/ - eZ phpdoc, from the people who make the eZ CMS
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who uses these - how widely are they used/supported, how buggy, how well do they follow JavaDoc?

Everyone,
I've had a simple download script working where a user would click on a link and the program would send word or excel headers instead of HTML. The file would then be opened in the appropriate program and the user could save/edit it.
Now that we've loaded everything under SSL, it doesn't work.
Here are the headers I send:
header("content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name='excel'"); header("content-disposition: attachment; filename=" . $filename . ".xls");
Now, the pages in question are just regular HTML tables. If there is a export2=excel in the URL, then these two additional headers will be sent. The dialog to save/open the file pops up, but when you try to open/save the file, IE says it cannot be found. If I put in a echo before these two headers (or comment them out), the page is shown correctly as HTML, so the code is correct.
Are there any special headers I have to send to enable this file download while under SSL, or is it something else I'm overlooking?
Thanks for any help.

Does it work with a different browser? Smells like an IE bug to me.

Doesn't everything with IE smell like a bug?
Anyhow, it works fine with Netscape. Opera will not open the file, but will save-as just fine when prompted.
I'm off to search MS...<deity of choice> help me...

I believe in miracles. I have searched Microsoft and the first link was actually related to my problem...
Okay, I found an IE issue where downloads over SSL will choke when you send a no-cache header. It says to use a no-store cache-control header, instead. I tried this:
header("cache-control: no-store"); header("content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel; name='excel'"); header("content-disposition: attachment; filename=" . $filename . ".xls");
and I'm still getting the same thing. Is the no-cache cache-control header sent automatically by PHP at all? I don't have one set explicitly in my code.
Any help is appreciated.

Nope, PHP does not send that.

John,
problem is broken HTTP/1.1 implementation of Internet Exploder. Make your server downgrade to HHTP/1.0. e.g. for apache:
<example> <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# # The following directives modify normal HTTP response behavior. # The first directive disables keepalive for Netscape 2.x and browsers that # spoof it. There are known problems with these browser implementations. # The second directive is for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0b2 # which has a broken HTTP/1.1 implementation and does not properly # support keepalive when it is used on 301 or 302 (redirect) responses. # BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive BrowserMatch "MSIE" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
# # The following directive disables HTTP/1.1 responses to browsers which # are in violation of the HTTP/1.0 spec by not being able to grok a # basic 1.1 response. # BrowserMatch "RealPlayer 4\.0" force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "Java/1\.0" force-response-1.0 BrowserMatch "JDK/1\.0" force-response-1.0
</IfModule> </example>
copy BrowserMatch line in SSL virtual server section too.

Hi,
I wonder if any of you have experience, sending variables in the url without using the ? character.
When sending variables this is the normal way to do it: /foo.php?id=12
But I have read that the following URL should work: /foo.php/12/
and then fetch the id in this way: $id = ereg_replace('[^0-9]', '', $PATH_INFO);
I have even seen it in function but the problem is that I can't get it to work on my local apache server. When I try to write /foo.php/12/ I get a '500 Internal Server Error' and in the apache error-log I can read that 'Premature end of script headers: c:/php/php.exe'. Does anyone know what could cause this error and why the url isn't working??
thanks

Try mod_rewrite to apache... http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html Else try http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000526.php3

Kenni,
I asked a similar question several months ago and got a lot of terrific info from the list. First some links:
See this related link:
Q "How can I pass variables to a script in the url like /script/var1/var2?"
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/124
Includes tutorials for doing it in PHP, mod_rewrite and/or mod_mime.
and
Search Engine Friendly URLs with PHP and Apache http://www.evolt.org/article/Search_Engine_Friendly_URLs_with_PHP_and_Ap ache/17/15049/index.html
Search Engine Friendly URLs (Part II) http://www.evolt.org/article/Search_Engine_Friendly_URLs_Part_II/17/1717 1/index.html
and finally:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html
The approach I used was the Apache web server's mod_rewrite (rewrite engine) and then apply the appropriate rules to an htaccess file. If you have the rewrite engine installed (and loaded in your httpd.conf file), then try the following in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^foo\.php(./*) $ http://your domainname.com/foo.php?id=$1 [R]
The '.' is a concactenator in the rules so it must be escaped unless used as such. If you wanted to add an ending forward slash for foo.php/12/ then perhaps use (./*/) HTH,
Nicole PS - many thanks once again to all who helped answer this question for me!

Elliot,
PHP works just fine with ODBC, using the iODBC Driver Manager as per the HOWTO at http://www.iodbc.org. This should work against FMPro under Windows as well.

Jeff,
ODBC should work just fine - you can just link --with-iodbc as per the HOWTOs on www.iodbc.org. If you use a native driver than the Informix client needs to be installed on the same box.

You got to be kidding me!!!! I use similar code and a sample of yours and I got just about the same error message as what Jeff Bluemel got. I checked the PHP Info and it showed that I had the libmcrypt accepted but no supported ciphers. Then I posted two seperate unanswered posting until I stumpled onto this.
I did not understand why mcrypt is required along with the libmcrypt. Libmcrypt is just an combination of mcrypt and extra stuffs. The url, php.net/mcrypt said to use libmcrypt and it mentioned of no mcrypt. So, it was no wonder I had problem. Now I know I did not ask the right question in the PHP newsgroup. I am glad to see a solution to this problem. Thank you for the responses and your solution to the problem as it help with Jeff Bluemel, it now helped me too. Thank you!

P.S. Do I compile mcrypt before libmcrypt or is it the other way around?

Never mind that! I found the answer when I did the Google search. It said mHash come first, then libmcrypt then mcrypt. So, that's what it should be. Yea, it can also be libmcrypt 1st then mhash then mcrypt. I got what I need to know which is that libmcrypt should come before mcrypt. So, it fit with what Tom Rogers said.

I'm using the builtin sessionssystem in some soloutions I've made but I'm not totally satisfied with the headers sent from it. Especially I dont like the following line: Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
The header above causes me some problems and I would like to exclude this on "some" pages. I read that its maybe possible to remove the whole line completely, but I just want to do this in certain phpfiles. Is this possible?

1) This is a PHP list, not an SQL help list
2) The SET clause goes before the WHERE clause

Perhaps, you can increase your RAM. Better yet, take Win2k and IIS off and install Linux and Apache. I'm sure next time you'll ask, "why is it faster?"

Edwin, I have no interest in getting into a Win2K/Linux debate. There are strengths and reasons for using both systems.
I run other applications (ASP, .NET, iHTML, MSSQL) without any problems, and they all work very quickly. Win2K is my primary development environment as it matches the systems my clients use.
So, I just need to know if there are some tweaks I should be considering to speed up PHP?

Of course... Most of the time I code on my Windoze machine. (Besides, I use it most of the time for writing to the ML :) But the only test server I have is a linux box.

I see. (Sorry about my first comment.)
Well, I'm not really aware of any (ini) settings that would drastically change the speed PHP. However, there are some programming techniques (already discussed in the list) that would "speed up" your scripts. (e.g., "caching" the results of your sql query on a text file and calling that file later on perhaps, etc.) But if you're already doing something similar, I guess, the bottleneck would be the hardware.
Add more RAMs if possible, change to a faster harddisk (SCSI or use RAID), get another PIII-800 and upgrade your motherboard to dual CPU, etc.--I'm sure your boss (if you have one and if you can convince him/her that it's necessary) will even be happy to get you a new workstation. You're running a lot of other applications so I'm pretty sure you'll benefit from a faster machine.
Why do the other app run faster? I don't really know. But, maybe, IIS is just friendlier with its relatives...
Just my opinion...

Hi Jeff,
I manage the website for the credit report reseller. We don't normally use cookie but we use session only. You were expressing some concern about someone knowing the session id. What we normally use is we used the encrypted session id and use use long aphanumeric number. This make it hard for someone to crack the code. We also use certain features that check the session id and if it is a mismatch, we logged the user out. The only problem we had is that when the user closed the browser, the session was not destroyed but we have a work around to it. That is when the user logged in again, we can tell if it is the same user or not and issue a new session id. We also use the feature like logging the user out if the user is idle for 15 mintues.
If you want a copy of the sample code and analyze it then give me a holler! Then I'll post it here. By the way, I enjoyed your other posting about the encryption problem with libmcrypt. I had the same problem as yours until I read it and found out that I need to install the mcrypt too. So, I filed the PHP bug making a request that the documentation be updated to include more information about mcrypt.

Hello all,
I am trying to use php to read through an html file and replace all image paths, like such:
Change "images/firstimage.gif" to "http://www.blah.com/firstimage.gif" ... Change "somesuch/images/secondimage.jpg" to "http://www.blah.com/secondimage.jpg"
So I am going through the file and matching the image path strings, stripping them down to just the image name using "basename", and then adding "http://www.blah.com/" onto the beginning of them. Except it's not working, and I'm not sure where my logic has gone awry. Instead of replacing each image path with its respective image name, it is replacing all image paths with the *same* image name.
Here is the code. (Yes I'm new, I apologize for the mess, there are a few lines in there I'm using for debugging purposes, to show me what it's doing.)
<? $filename = "newexample.html"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
while (preg_match('{(")([A-z0-9_/-](\/))*[A-z0-9_/-]+(.gif|.jpg)}', $contents, $matches)) {
echo "<b>MATCHED:</b> ".$matches[0]."<br>\n";
$base = basename($matches[0]); $newimage = "http://www.blah.com/".$base; echo "<br>base: ".$base."<br>"; echo "new image: ".$newimage."<br>"; echo "<hr>";
$contents = eregi_replace('\/*[A-z0-9_/-]+(.gif|.jpg)', $newimage, $contents);
print $contents;
}
fclose ($fd);
?>

Jennifer--
A couple of things. eregi_replace does not have a limitation parameter, which means that if you use it *all* the strings that match your pattern will be replace with the new pattern. In your case, if I read your code correctly (and I may not--I'm doing this from memory), the eregi replacement you perform will change *all* the paths you have in your file, and not just the first one, which, I believe, is what you're looking for.
Also, there shouldn't be any need to make the replacements one by one. A single replacement should be enough if all the original paths have to be transformed into the same URL.
For example:
ereg_replace ("{/images/}{test.(jpg|gif)}", "http://www.microsoft.com/images/\\2", $t);
This would replace any occurrence of "/images/*.gif" and "/images/*.jpg" to "http://www.microsoft.com/images/*.gif" or *.jpg respectively (once again, double check my regex...doing this from memory). If you *do* need to change each occurrence individually, then you should use preg() instead, which uses Perl syntax and has a limitation parameter.
Also--a minor thing and I'm sure you thought of it, but you're not saving the file at the end :-)
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Marco

I send hidden variables from a form to a php. In the php I have the following code to convert the global vars sent:
If (isset($_GET['foo'])) $foo = $_GET['foo'] else $foo = 0;
But this only works using the "GET" method!
Thanks for your answer.
attached mail follows:
You can use $_POST in a similar fashion to retrieve values from form that have been posted with the POST method.
Also, you can use $_REQUEST to catch both at the same time. In this case, you may have a problem if the same variable is passed through both GET and POST, in that one will override the other depending on how your php.ini is set up.

Hello All,
I have a script which is using mail() to send an e-mail message. It seems to be working, yet taking as long as 60-65 seconds just to send the e-mail. The e-mail has no attachments and only has one line in it. Does anyone have experience with this issue. I am using "PHP/4.0.6" on "Linux Redhat" with "Apache/1.3.22". Also, not to mention when I test it with IIS, I get a "Failed to Receive" error. Thanks for any help.

attached mail follows:
Hey John--
Couple of ideas:
1) Is your sendmail configured as a relay? As such your PHP process may have to wait for the e-mail to be relayed before returning, which might explain why it's taking so long. The same might happen if your machine is very busy (although that has never happened to me)
2) Under IIS, you must configure a mail server in order for mail() to work, because Windows does not have an MTA similar to sendmail installed by default. You can do so in your php.ini file. Note that the MTA doesn't have to be on a separate computer--if you use Windows SMTP and configure it properly it should do just fine to use localhost as your mail host.
Hope this helps.

Possibly. But temp files created during execution should be destroyed when the script exists. So either copying or moving shouldn't make any difference. Besides that I think the difference is strictly semantic. Another possibility is that this is a browser cache issue. -Kevin

.phps files get cut off while trying to access them in a browser.. anyone ever have a problem with this?

I attempted to write a oage that you can chat on with php. It ended up being a page that reloads itself all the time which isn't really what I wanted. But I didn't know how to do it differently. Is there another way? I heard something about flush()? Kind regards, Oliver
attached mail follows:
You can have your script enter a loop to check for data in a database. If data output it then calls the flush() function to output to the browser. Then sleep for some time, then wakeup and repeat. You may have issues with some browsers using this technique, but generally it does work. The key is that you never close the connection to the browser. You'll also want to occasionally output some invisible content, otherwise the connection_status() stuff never give the right value (at least not in 4.1.2) It struck me that these functions update their flags on output only. Which means you need to output something to the browser to detect that the user has hit stop, or has disconnected.

Thanks for the answer, but that was a little bit too complicated for me. I know more about javascript. How do I do such a loop? Something similar like set_interval in javascript? What invisible content do I have to output? And what do I have to output to the browser to detect if the user's still active? Olli

Another way is to use javascript with PHP to pull the database every so many seconds. I have seen this in I think it was PHPChat. Been a long time however.

Simple trick (well, not so simple, but kind of a Columbus' Egg):
1) Create an <img> tag in your web page that is hidden
2) Point the img tag to a php script that returns:
1) An image with a pixel width of 1 if there is new data to pick up from the server 2) An image with a pixel width of 0 otherwise
3) Create a javascript that refreshes the image every second (or every two seconds, or however often you feel necessary--the more often, the more responsive and "real time" your chat system will be).
4) Add an OnLoad event to the img tag that points to a Javascript that checks the width of the newly reloaded image. If the width is one, then you reload your chat text content (which you may want to put in an iframe to avoid having to reload the whole page).
I don't have a script to show unfortunately, as it would probably be too complicated and long for the list (and I have no time to write it...<sigh>), but hopefully, this will give you the gist of it.

Well, that's pretty much how I've done it. And it is pretty crappy... Olli

Oliver--
I'm afraid I wasn't too clear! If you do it the way I'm suggesting, your page will look like it's reloading ONLY when there is new data available, and not continuously. PHPChat is an example--it looks really good and doesn't do any of the annoying things that reloading the page usually does (like the stupid click click click in IE).

It sure does. I didn't say it was perfect :) But at least it doesn't constantly reload, which is fine if you have a limitted number of poeple entering the room. Otherwise the invis pixel things sounds a lot superior, even though you sit there polling the machine. For 1x1 pixels :)

Hey everyone,
Does anybody know what the current support / functionality for PHP with sockets is? According to the documentation, all the socket_ functions should be included in PHP >= 4.1.0. I'm currently running 4.2.1 and PHP doesn't seem to recognize these functions (socket_send, socket_write, etc).
Anybody know if there's anything special I have to do to get it working?

Yep, if you're using UNIX and compiling from source, you must add this switch to the command line when you're configuring and compiling PHP:
--enable-sockets
(e.g.: ./configure --enable-sockets). If you're using a prepackaged version (RPM or Windows) then you should look into the documentation for your version to see if this extension was included when the package was compiled from the source.

Hello, I have a question that I was hoping somebody here could answer or atleast point me in the right direction.
I maintain a series of mailing lists for our organization. Currently, I edit the distribution lists myself, but I would like to offload this administration to the departments themselves. Ideally, I could set up a web site that would let them edit the dist file themselves, and then save the changes. The php file would simply load up a text file from a fixed location, and then display it in a form. The user could then edit and save the file to the same location from where it was opened. Basically, I need a very simple text editor done in PHP. Unfortunately, when I search for “PHP text editor” I get development tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated, -Hitesh

Subject: [Fwd: Re: [PHP] Chat with php]
Ok, off the top of my head (please don't be upset if it doesn't work right off, because I'm doing this from memory):
Web page:
<script language=javascript>
function checkimage() { if (document.all.image1.width = 1) { document.all.fr1.src="http://www.mysite.com/chat.php"; } }
function reloadimg() { document.all.image1.src="http://www.mysite.com/img.php"; setInterval ("reloadimg()", 2000); // every 2 secs }
</script>
<body> <iframe name="fr1" src="chat.php">
<img style="display=none" src="http://www.mysite.com/chat.php" onLoad="javascript:checkimage();"> </body>
In chat.php you simply push out whatever is in the database (the whole thing--or you come up with some method of just printing out what has changed since the last poll, which is trivial and beyond the point here).
In img.php:
<?
function checkdb() { // This returns true if new data is available }
$filename = (checkdb() ? '1pixel.gif' : '2pixel.gif');
header ("Content-type: image/gif"); readfile ($filename);
?>
1pixel.gif is a one-pixel wide image, while 2pixel.gif is two pixels wide (it just occurred to me that you can't have a zero-pixels wide image, which would be quite pointless). The script basically reads in either file and spits it out after setting the content type.
Once more, this script, as is, probably won't work because it was programmed in my messy head rather than in a proper PHP environment, but it should give you an idea of what needs to be done. In particular, remember to use the "display" CSS attribute rather than visibility so that the image will not take up any space on your page.
Also, an apology--I seem to have mailed some messages twice by mistake. I was checking e-mail between eating my lunch and trying to get a tie on and things might have gotten a bit out of hand ;-)
Let me know how it turns out!

Thanks, I will try that script as soon as I find some time, probably tomorrow. But it seems to do the same thing as reloading would do: clicking all the time. But I'll try it tomorrow. Kind regards, Oliver

Apologies for what's probably an extremely newbie question..
Is there any way to have a database return its auto_increment field during insert? I have two different tables, when one inserts, I'd like to be able to assign the value of the new auto_increment field to another field in another table.
I guess I COULD go and make the second table auto_increment along with it, but that would require a complete rewrite, and I'd like to avoid that...
Anyone have ideas, suggestions, or preferably.. an answer to my question? :)
Thanks -Jason

If you're using MySQL:
mysql_insert_id
If you're using MSSQL, you need to execute SELECT IDENTITY right after
your insertion operation. The result will give you the ID of your last
insertion. This won't work well if you're doing a bulk insert, though.
