I was looking over a tutorial on Php builder on making search engine friendly sites. While i got the concept of the tutorial and have it working here. I was wondering is it possible to get a php script to run out of the home directory of apache.

tutorial: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim19990117.php3?page=1

in the tut they redirect any calls to files in /local/ to a php file in the root of the site.

I'd like to if possible redirect it to script that's stored outside of the home folder for apache.

Why you ask? 1. One file to update for any number of websites. 2. So clients don't go touching it. (i know permissions could solve this. but the reason one is more important.)

In my .htaccess in the root of the site i have

Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule local.*$ local.php

Works fine..

but when i change it to a directory outside of the root it never gets to process or give an error.

Any ideas? is it possible?

Cheers

.htaccess only works for the document root directory and below. You could try making a symbolic link to the directory in the document root (I don't know if this will work).

RTF is not a closed format. Just dig in the Internet and you will find the specs. OTOH, Office 11 XML will not be understood by any of the previous Word version, if anything else for a while now.

Hi,

In asp there is a session timeout function that allows the session to end after the session is INACTIVE for x seconds/minutes ! How do i do this in php ?

Is there a way to open a php page in internet expl. without having a url/adress bar or a back and forward button , if so how do i go to work?

I asked this before, but say for instance - the user is busy on a secure page , but without logging out he enters another url in the address bar.The session of my page , does it end or does the session carry to the next page ? If so how can i stop it ?

thanks , shaun!

You can set the lifetime of the session in php.ini. session.gc_maxlifetime is the time after which, inactive sessions will be deleted. session.gc_probability controls the percentage chance that the garbage collection (session deletion) will be triggered with each session_start(). You can also set some of the cookie parameters. All the details are in the manual, give it a try. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php > Is there a way to open a php page in internet expl. without having a > url/adress bar > or a back and forward button , if so how do i go to work?

No, use javascript.

The session cookie will remain on his computer. It's only good for your site though. If they return, the session will still be active, unless it's been they wait over X minutes and the session file on the server is deleted by the garbage collection.

Remember how HTTP works. All your web server does is process requests. You can't tell between requests if the user went somewhere else or not.

Hi joskey,

Your mail came through fine ... but if you want to run a mail-server, and have got either windows or novell netware, take a peak at Mercury, it's free, has POP and SMTP, and inludes a listerver and advanced filtering:

www.pmail.com

It's extremely stable, only license quirk is that you may not send mail to more than 50 people without having their concent first (spam protection).

That's, er, odd?? Dunno whether you might find anything useful from

http://www.google.com/search?q=upload+file+content+type+form+multipart+ima ge+php&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

(unwrap that). As I understand it, upload by form has nothing to do with ftp - it's part of http - and I assume that it is intended to do an 'exact' copy? Perhaps a code snippet, just in case anyone can pick something odd about it.

Quod subigo farinam

attached mail follows:

I've had 2 thoughts on this one. They're fairly uneducated an just meandering speculation, but it's my tuppence-worth so...

My initial thought was this: I believe the Content-Type: MIME header is added by your browser. HTTP standards say that anything sending a file over HTTP is supposed to tell the recipient what type of file it's sending. It does this by adding the Content-Type: header at the start of the stream. Normally, PHP will read this header and put it in the $_FILES['userfile']['type'] variable. Perhaps your Linux browser adds the header in such a way that PHP cannot extract it properly, and simply thinks it's part of the file? You could try checking the $_FILES['userfile']['type'] variable to see if it contains the correct MIME type.

It then dawned on me that I know either Apache or PHP (can't remember which, possibly both, but most likely Apache) can so some clever stuff where it fills in missing MIME type headers by analysing the file being transferred. It's possible that your Linux browser is not sending a Content-Type: header and so Apache tries to fill one in and it's APACHE that is adding the iffy header that PHP doesn't recognise. Alternatively, it's possible that your browser IS adding the header, but Apache doesn't recognise it, so adds another one. PHP happily extracts the first one, but doesn't spot the second one so it creeps through.

Of course, all that could be wrong as I'm not an expert on file uploads, but it might be a place to start looking.

Yes, I'd considered that. That was what I'd gone looking for in config files etc. I'd hoped to find a switch for ftp transfer mode. Didn't find one though.

However, partly because of your email and partly because I noted that the file size increase was the same every time (27 bytes) I decided to load it into a hex editor.

What I found was that at the top of the file, the following had been added:

-----8<----- Content-Type: image/gif

-----8<-----

I also found that if I remove these two lines the image will display perfectly.

So, my next question is, why does my linux box add this to an uploaded image and my windows box not do so? Can someone make a suggestion on where I should be looking? Is the addition of this information a server (Apache) thing? Or is it a php thing?

You're not executing the query, or selecting a db. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you have more than one "orderid" and more than one "shipping" your queries will return all of them. I'm not sure if this is what you want, but if it is, you really should be using something like mysql_fetch_array() instead of mysql_result(). If you're looking for just one result, you should change your SQL to somethere like this....

SELECT `orderid` FROM `databasename.receipts` WHERE `some_unique_key` = 'some_unique_identifier'

function get_order_id_receipt($orderid, $shipping) { //Get order ID from DB to pass to receipt. $conn = db_connect(); $query = "select orderid from receipts"; $shippingquery = "select shipping from receipts"; mysql_select_db ( YOUR_DATABASE_NAME ); $orderid_result = mysql_query ( $query ); $orderid = mysql_result($orderid_result);

$shipping = mysql_result($shippingquery); //return $orderid; }

>>> $query = "select orderid from receipts"; >>> $shippingquery = "select shipping from receipts"; >>> $orderid = mysql_result($query); >>> $shipping = mysql_result($shippingquery);

$query and $shippingquery are not result sets.

$this_var = mysql_query ( $query ); $orderid = mysql_result ( $this_var ); mysql_free_result ( $this_var ); $that_var = mysql_query ( $shippingquery ); $shipping = mysql_result ( $that_var ); mysql_free_result ( $that_var );

However, I don't think you're going to get the desired result from mysql_result() unless you're only planning on returning one piece of data.

Hello,

you can access SAP tables direct via the native database interface for example via the Oracle interface. All you have to know is what is inside the different tables and you have to get the password or a read only account to SAP tables from your DBA. ;-)

For example the creditor tables are bsik (open bill) and bsak (paid bill, when I remember correct) and debitor tables are bsid and bsad and parts of adresses are stored in table kna1 and so on.

Good luck. I've done a lot of coding with direct access to SAP. It works, it's fast and it's not proprietary and you do not have to spend tons of money for SAP ABAP lessions.

best regards Gerald

I am battling with the same problem on both IE and Netscape on Mac OS 10.2. Is this a Mac thing?

I ammended your code in the hope that something was being passed that only looked like a space..

<?php echo $_POST['test'].'<br>'; for($n=1;$n<=strlen($_POST['test']);$n++) { echo var_dump(hexdec(substr($_POST['test'],$n-1,1))); } php?> <form actiom='test.php' method=POST> <input type=text value='' name=test> <input type=submit value='submit'> </form>

If I enter a+b it returns: a b int(10) int(0) int(11)

I can't ask users to enter a<PLUS>b or some such code, there must be a solution. I don't belive this is going to defeat the collective brains of the PHP list!

Here is a fudge that uses Javascript to convert the + into {PLUS} then PHP converts it back again. The only problem is Javascript is only converting the first +, so a+b+c becomes a+b c.

Try

function get_order_id_receipt($orderid, $shipping) { //Get order ID from DB to pass to receipt. $conn = db_connect(); $datequery = "select date from receipts where customerid = '10'"; $query = "select orderid from receipts where customerid = '10'"; $shippingquery = "select shipping from receipts where customerid = '10'"; $date_result = mysql_query($datequery); $date = mysql_result($date_result,0); $orderid_result = mysql_query($query); $orderid = mysql_result($orderid_result,0); $shipping_result = mysql_query($shippingquery); $shipping = mysql_result($shipping_result,0); return $orderid; return $shipping; }

See http://fi2.php.net/manual/fi/function.mysql-result.php

But with mysql_result you'll get see one CELL only. Maybe you need to use something like

$dates = array(); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array( $date_result)) { array_push($dates, $row["date"]); } return $dates;

And what if someone's last name *is* Mackenzie? Or Macdonald? Or any one of several others I can think of that exist in both forms?

Hi Rene,

You should consider the fact that, even as surnames, names like Mackintosh and Mackenzie (and as someone else suggested here 'Macon') generally should NOT have a capital letter. Mackintosh is an English name, not Scottish, and people who spell it with a capital K have gotten their ancestry mixed up somewhere!

Anyway, perhaps a way around this would be to have a known exceptions list? You could just stick all your Mc/Mac code inside: if (in_array($lastname, $mcExceptions)) { ... }

At the end of the day, it's really up to the person how they capitalise their own name, but I guess mind reading is (currently) a bit beyond PHP.

-----Original Message----- From: -<[ Rene Brehmer ]>- [mailto:metalbunnymetalbunny.net] Sent: 30 October 2002 7:54 pm To: php-generallists.php.net Subject: Capitalizing names etc. part II - found a solution

Hi y'all

A while back I requested help for properly capitalizing names out of passed string values, as ucwords() and tokenizing didn't do the trick.

Some kind soul gave me this scripple to work with:

> $text = "What?No delimiters,shit happens here.this solves all > problems."; preg_match_all("/(\w+[,. ?])+/U", $text, $words); > foreach($words[0] as $part) $uwords[] = ucfirst($part); $text = > implode("", $uwords); echo $text;

Which didn't work at all (even changing the variables to match my own), but only got me several errors for each line...

My task was to make it take a string like "firstname_middlename_firstlastname-lastlastname" and properly capitalize it. Also wanted it to do it correctly with names like O'Connor, MacEnroe, McCarthy and such... The scribble above would be able to do it with the O'Connors and name-name formats, but useless with Mac/Mc names ... plus the above script part didn't work at all on my system (PHP 4.2.3 on Apache 2.0.40 on WinXP Pro).

OK ... so I wanted a compact structure that could do this easily, and correctly, on ANY name I threw at it...so I've spent a couple of hours finding useful functions in PHP that would do the trickery easiest ... and ended up with this:

$name = $HTTP_GET_VARS['name'];

// pull real name out of $name $realname = ""; // okay, let's get the names cap'ed correctly... $startat = 0; // these vars are used for substring pulling $stoplen = 0; // parse 1, find funny chars and cap after them for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($name); $i++) { $ltr = substr($name, $i, 1); // pull out letter i of name $stoplen = $i - $startat; // set the stop point for substring // if current letter is a marker if ($ltr == "_" | $ltr == "-" | $ltr == "'") { // add substring $realname .= ucfirst(substr($name, $startat, $stoplen)); $startat = $i + 1; // set new start point for substring } if ($ltr == "_") { // if space, add space $realname .= " "; } elseif ($ltr == "-") { // if dash, add dash $realname .= "-"; } elseif ($ltr == "'") { $realname .= "'"; } } // the last name won't be added in parse 1, // this piece adds the last name AFTER checking and capping for Mac/Mc // so this is essentially pass 2 $lastname = substr($name, $startat, $stoplen + 1); // find Mac/Mc $maclen = 0; // we set this to zero to make it easier to check for found if (strstr($lastname, "mc") != false) { // if Mc is found... $maclen = 2; } elseif (strstr($lastname, "mac") != false) { // if Mac is found $maclen = 3; } if ($maclen > 0) { // add the MacSomething with proper capitalization $realname .= ucfirst(substr($lastname, 0, $maclen)); $realname .= ucfirst(substr($lastname, $maclen, strlen($lastname))); } else { // if we can't find Mac/Mc, just add the last name... $realname .= ucfirst($lastname); } // end namegame

The curious thing is that this actually runs faster than the strtok() + ucwords() combo I had before, plus it does the trick correctly, everytime. If anyone can see a more efficient way of doing this, I'm all for it.

Do note that I've intentionally made it so that the last word of all names won't be added to the $realname, until it's determined whether or not it starts with Mac/Mc. The point to this is simple: It's a lot more complicated to scan for the Mac/Mc after the full name is assembled, than it is while it's being built. My structure also ensure that if someone's called something like Mackenzie for first name, it will not be incorrectly cap'ed, as it only does the scotch-check on the last names...

If you can do this simpler, or have any comments for this way of doing it, please let me know. You may freely copy and dsitribute this as you wish.

I use e-navn.dk. They've got an international branch called dotserv.com. They've got blindingly fast support ... I've had them reply to support requests by e-mail in a matter of hours ... on a saturday...

The Danish one is among Scandinavias cheapest and most respected/used webhosts.

You can get whatever you want there. Their solutions are all mix-and-match based. CGI, and PHP, and mail comes with free with all webhotels, ASP with some (it depends on size what get included). Anything else is extra for a small fee...or you can buy bigger and get it for free.

They offer Personal CGI (make/use your own), Perl, Perlscript, SSI, PHP, ASP, JSP, Frontpage support, MySQL, Access, Postgres, SSL, besides what comes with the hotels.

You can run Real video, and they offer modules for e-shopping sites. Guaranteed 99% uptime, 24/7 support, free traffic, 155 Mbit line...

Just contact them about your needs, and they'll give a fixed price per month ... you just pay as much in advance as you want ...

Enough commercials: For the Danish host (e-navn.dk), go here: http://www.enavn.dk/cgi-bin/index.cgi?ref_id=hPaB5xsMCT7GwywY8R5ZN5fbAdGMraP3

I use phpwebhosting and I've always found them to be very quick with their support response. They're also very friendly and helpful, and happy to go that little bit further for you. Need a feature that isn't listed? No harm in asking them and they'll generally do whatever they can to provide it for you.

They're also the only hosts I've found that don't have a strict bandwidth/transfer limit, and so won't go charging you per Mb. This is especially surprising at their price point ($9.95). I've found slightly cheaper hosting in the UK (which is actually where I'm based) but I just prefer the "We won't set limits if you won't abuse it" attitude of phpwebhosting, even though I don't have a remotely high traffic site! I've never found the thousand-odd miles of water between us to affect communication in any way.

Anyone like to recommend a good host with good uptime for a high traffic site? The host would need excellent technical support as well as be feature rich (Multiple MySQL database support/listserver/SSL support etc.)

I have been trying out phpwebhosting.com and they seem very good but I am not happy with their technical support which is very slow response time. We are based in Europe and they are in the US which might lead to problems as they haven't answered any of our queries. Saying that they have a good automated process in place which is easy to use.

Anyone out there have high volume sites with a feature rich hosting solution?

Any examples of Phpwebhosting welcomed as well.

Great feature set, superior support, and so-far perfect uptime/performance in hardware, software, and bandwidth. I definetly recommend them to anyone looking for quality hosting.

>You are contradicting yourself. Most mailing list programs put all >recipients in Bcc: and queue only on message, so it is the same thing >that you are recommending against and for it.

But most listservers generate a new message for each receiver. Most mailservers, my own included, do not accept more than 5 recipients in the bcc field...50 total for to and cc combined (some allow more).

The limit's there to prevent spam. Also it would be abuse of the intent to use bcc for the entire list of receivers. Also you cannot have a bcc without a to field anyway ...

>Spam filters that discard messages which the recipients are in Bcc: are >wrong, just like everybody that filters messages with general criteria >like that. Anyway, it is their problem if they discard messages arbitrarily.

If the bcc field is the only field with a receiver, then the message is malformed and should be rejected. The To:, Subject:, and Date: fields are required to fullfill RFC 822. If you only get Bcc: and no To:, then the message should be bounced, that's how alot of spam used to be addressed, and some still is.

I've never met an ISP that would refuse bulk mailing, as long as you can proove that you've got concent from the receivers for the messages. My mail server handles all the concent things itself, and sofar my ISPs have not complained about the up to 3 digit amounts of message that go out each day, with up to 4 digits coming in...

I have a site hosted on a shared server and if I try to generate an email with more than 75 BCC addresses it will not be sent. I was instructed to use the listserve software that they provide to do mailings like this. They don't disapprove high volume mailing, but they do have a problem if you use BCC. I guess that it's either harder on the server or because its most likely spam.

On my dedicated servers (another company) we can do whatever we please, but I do think that a large number of filters are tipped off by a high volume of BCC's ...

Noah,

If you delete the webmaster email key you might find that it makes up some non-existent e-mail address based on your server name.

You could try adding an 'Errors-To: errorsyourdomain.com' header in the e-mail which is supposed to tell the receiving server to send any errors to a specific address. It's never used by anyone so chances are there are servers out there that will ignore it, but it's worth a go. Then, depending on what e-mail client you have, you could have a rule that did some clever jiggery-pokery and removed the offending address from the list without even bothering you.

Depends what you mean by "last". You can either do a select with an order and a limit: SELECT foo FROM bar ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 1

Or you can get the last primary key with PHP's mysql_insert_id() function.

Hi,

This is generally a *very* bad idea. If a visitor to your site enters "4/3/01", do they mean the 4th March or the 3rd April?

I find the best thing to do is provide three drop-downs: one contains numbers from 1-31, one contains the names of months, and one contains numbers from 2000 onwards. Using this, it's impossible to enter a date that could be interpreted in more than one way (although you still can do things like 31st Feb, so you still need checkdate).

If you absolutely must do this you can always break the date up into components (split on the delimiter) and pass the components to checkdate().

Generally it's better to have complex code that works than simple code that doesn't.

There's nothing like that, you have to create it yourself. I personally hate the three drop down method that someone else suggested, but that's just me.

I prefer to have a text box like you, but tell the user what the accepted format is. You can then write a simple function to parse their answer and make sure it's correct. You can also use that function to convert it to a Unix timestamp or MySQL timestamp.

I prefer to accept my dates in the military format of DDMMMYYYY or DDMMMYY (17NOV75 or 17NOV1975).

I use this function to validate the input:

//check that date matches 17nov75 or 17nov1975 format. //if it does, returned as mysql format date yyyymmdd function date($input,$label,$format) { $retval = false;

//defaults $month_array = array("jan"=>"01","feb"=>"02","mar"=>"03","apr"=>"04","may"=>"05","jun"=>"06 ","jul"=>"07","aug"=>"08","sep"=>"09","oct"=>"10","nov"=>"11","dec"=>"12"); $days_in_month = array(31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31);

//verify date matches 17nov75 or 17nov1975 format

if(eregi("^([0-9]{1,2})-?(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)-? ((19|20)?[0-9]{2})$",$input,$regs)) { //convert month to number $regs[2] = strtolower($regs[2]); $month = $month_array[$regs[2]];

//make days two digits if it's not already $day = $regs[1]; if($day < 10 && strlen($day) == 1) { $day = "0" . $day; } if($regs[3] < 100) { //account for 2 digit year //< 30 = 20xx //> 30 = 19xx if($regs[3] < 30) { $year = "20" . $regs[3]; } else { $year = "19" . $regs[3]; } } else { $year = $regs[3]; }

//verify day does not exceed days in month if(($day <= $days_in_month[$month-1] && $day > 0) || ($day==29 && $month==2 && $year%4==0)) { $retval = $year.$month.$day; } else { $this->error[] = $label . ": date has invalid day"; } } else { $this->error[] = $label . ": date does not match format of 17NOV75 or 17NOV1975"; }

return $retval; }

"ebcdic2ascii() is an Apache-specific function which is available only on EBCDIC based operating systems (OS/390, BS2000)." -php.net/ebcdic

What kind of text??? Usually, the text is in ASCII? Do you want to convert to the actual numerical representation (ie A == 0x41)? If so, you can try bin2hex(). if you want it in decimal, prolly hexdec() in a foreach on a explode("\r\n", chunk_split($whatever, 2))'d bin2hex() string... I say that because I think bindec will convert the whole string at once, not char by char...

date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+1 month"))

returns December 1st! This happens when you add 1 month to any day that doesn't exist in the next month. Quite annoying that you have to handle it like this:

date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+1 month",strtotime(date("Y-m-1"))))

How about

echo date('y-m-d',strtotime('next month last day'));

How about - and a little more complex ...

$mydate = date("d")!=1 && date("d",strtotime("+1 month"))==1 ? date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+1 month")-86400) : date("Y-m-d",strtotime("+1 month"));

to summarise - if you perform your "+1 month" and it creates a day of 1, but the current day isn't 1 - do the same calculation, but a day less ... otherwise - do the month more. I haven't tested it - but it should give the results you want.

How about

Actually I only needed date("Y-m") so my solution works fine, and I didn't consider the problems with hard coding 1 into it. But thanks for the replies.

You could maybe use array_flip, change the value, then array_flip again.

Or create your new key=>value and unset() the old one.

$array[$new_key] = $array[$old_key]; unset($array[$old_key]);

I can set the page size with pdf_begin_page(), but if I set it to legal size I still have to change the printer setting to select the correct paper. Otherwise it just scales the page down to fit letter paper.

Someone has insisted they've seen PDFs that automatically select the proper paper, but I can't find an option for it.

Hello everyone,

I upload some files on my server. If the number of lines of a file exceeds 159, I want to erase the file.

Actually the unlink() function doesn't work, I have this error : Warning: Unlink failed (Permission denied) in D:\Data\WebSSL\tm\RFP\upload2.php on line 78.

My code is :

$num = 0; $fp = fopen ("temp/$i","r"); while ($data = fgetcsv ($fp, 1000, ",")) $num++; echo "number of lines : $num"; if ($num>150){ echo "you have too many hotels"; unlink("temp/$i"); } fclose ($fp);

Do you have a clue ??

Cyrille.

attached mail follows:

Unlink function isn't broken, you just don't have the correct rights set on the files, so PHP can't erase them, fix the permissions and that will take care of that error.

It probably isn't supported in windows. Unlink is (in C) in the unistd.h file. It provides a way to remove a file based on the unlink syscall (which i sincerly doubt is available from Win32). Looking at php.net/unlink... yep fourth comment: "unlink() function dosen't work with windows98, but it dose work on NT with apache server".

If memory serves, there is an $OS variable... if not, check phpinfo(). You can do something like...

if ( stristr($OS, "Win") ) exec("echo 'y' | del $file"); else unlink("$file");

is there a php command that could determine if the end of a page has been reached according to their print driver? I'm need to print out a report that could be multiple pages. I need to be able to put column headings & page numbers.

I tried to do what your talking about, never found a way, other then guessing where it would end with a lot of test runs. We ended up switching to writing out PDF's which is much more scientific where you can just check X,Y coordinates to see where you are on the page.

Might not be the best solution, but you _could_ create PDFs of your data, then print those...? Really clunky, but you could do nice formatting type stuff...
