i'm doing a POST to an https server using fsockopen(). after doing the writes, i do fread($fp, 4096) until feof($fp) returns true. this seems to work fine, except that i get an SSL protocol error on the last read.

*I think* you need to have Oracle installed even if you wouldn't really connect to it but instead connect to a different server. Since I installed Oracle with most of the Linux installations that I did, I haven't really tried enabling Oracle support in PHP without Oracle on the same server. In other words, I haven't really tried configuring --with-oci8 without supplying the path (e.g. --with-oci8=/path/to/oracle/ ).
PHP will look for the needed file when configuring so I don't think you can really get away without installing Oracle first. (Of course, you can just try to find out what files are needed, ask a friend to give you a copy, "trick" php that it exists, etc.--it might not work though...)
Anyway, if you need Oracle, try the OTN site. There's one that you can use for development.

Your machine does not need Oracle Server installed, it needs Oracle Client installed. These are two completely different things.
So, try this in your command prompt:
echo $ORACLE_HOME
if you get a result, means the client is there and you can recompile php --with-oci8=$ORACLE_HOME
That will compile the OCI8 extension with all the required headers.

To connect to a database you will need the networking code and specifically the tnsnames.ora file. Check for this. I think it unlikely to come with php since it is proprietry code. Its only the Oracle client installation you would need (not server) and only the networking code.

It certainly looks that way.

Yes this is right too. I greabed the SRC RPM for PHP 4.2.2 and edited the spec file to include --with-oci8 but it now throws the following errors:
checking for Oracle-OCI8 support... yes, shared checking Oracle Install-Dir... checking Oracle version... configure: error: Oracle-OCI8 needed libraries not found error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.47391 (%build)

Luckally I had downloaded the Oracle-Linux (Version 8i) installer a few weeks ago incase this problem arised. but the installer is currently taking 98% of my CPU with the Java Runtime and it doesn't seem to be doing a lot else (not even a GUI window yet ..... 20 minutes later). I fear this is too OT for the list though.
If anyone does know if I can "trick" PHP by just copying some files from the Oracle-Linux.tar then this would be a great help though.
Thanks all for your support.

/* untested */ function days($str_from, $str_to) { $from = strtotime(isset($str_from) ? $str_from : 'now'); $to = strtotime(isset($str_to) ? $str_to : 'now'); if ($from > $to) { $x = $from; $from = $to; $to = $x; } $rslt = $to - $from; // number in seconds return (int)($rslt / 86400); // return days (1d = 86400 secs) } Hope this helps,

Robert,
I've been looking at this myself over the past couple of days.
I gather the best approach is to convert your dates into UNIX timestamps.
For example:
$first_unix_time = mktime($hour1, $minutes1, $seconds1, $month1, $day1, $year1);
$second_unix_time = mktime($hour2, $minutes2, $seconds2, $month2, $day2, $year2);
Subtract the one from the other to give the difference:
$difference = $first_unix_time - $second_unix_time;
The result will be in seconds so you'll need to convert this depending on the format you require.
For example, to convert the difference to years you might do:
$years = floor($difference / (365 * 24 * 60 * 60));
Hope this helps,
Michael Egan

Justin,
Many thanks for the reply. I didn't provide enough detail in some spots, and I'll attempt to clarify.
> Seems to me like this would generate a lot of extra server traffic, and a > little confusion... The only benefit I can see is that you're getting rid of > ugly page URLs.
User experience is very important to me. I'm creating a tool for other people, and as far as I'm concerned my users "own" the URL that the user sees and bookmarks.
> So, your URLs will actually look like > http://www.site.com/article.php?PHPSESSID=12413523245546453
No problem, since the user will never see this and other session properties using this Invisible Get method even with cookies disabled. (Even it it turns out that I still need to pass the session ID to the "user URL" for people with locked cookie jars, that's okay.)
> Nothing I can see in your code/idea changes the fact that EACH INSTANCE OF A > SCRIPT NEEDS TO MAINTAIN STATE (carry the session around).
That's fine. You and Ernest convinced me that it was silly to try and reinvest the wheel. Now I'm only concerned with the wheel experience.
> 2. bookmarking/linking/etc... essentially what you're saying is that one > URL, page.php, will do many different things (like present many different > articles), based on session information... this doesn't sound to good to me...
Yuck, yeah...what I have in mind is not that evil. :^P The page will be basically the same, but the objects on it need to retain their state during a session.
For example, let's say I have 50 "spinner" objects on a page. All spinners have a value that must be persistent, plus buttons/links that increment and decrement. Those buttons/links call "submit.php" to pass changes to persistent variables back to itself.
> You *may* want to consider the apache mod_rewrite stuff.
The article was very interesting and I may use it for some other stuff, but I need to call submit.php to put the objects properties into my session globals.
> Just one last note... PHP sessions, by default, store the session variables > in files transparently (ie, you don't have to do much), NOT a database. So, > writing a script that requires sessions will NOT require MySQL.
Thanks for the clarification. Yesterday was my first experience with PHP sessions, and I didn't quite get it.

The best is not good enough! :O) They shouldn't keep transient session information in the URL.
If the only drawback to Invisible Get is the (unnoticeable) serving of the tiny interim page, I think this could be a really good solution.

Your method assumes something about your users: that they click on links. This may be unlikely, but what if a user uses the 'copy URL to clipboard' (or equivalent) feature of their browser? It could be pasted into an e-mail, posted to a newsgroup, etc.
While 'Invisible Gets' may handle the general case, they do not entirely solve the problem.

Exactly -- this is the problem that's solved by using my Invisible Get method. With this method, the URL doesn't get filled with session object properties which aren't useful (or wanted) outside of the current session.

I've been staying out of this discussion as I've been sure there was something I was missing, but this comment I really don't understand -- if you use PHP's built-in sessions, all that gets into the URL (maybe, if cookies are disabled) is the session ID -- *everything* else is kept server-side and keyed off that ID. You've got to propagate the ID *somehow* -- with cookies if the user allows that, but otherwise by putting it in the URL; how does your "invisible Get" prevent that?
Yours confused...
Cheers!

By the time the page appears, PHP is done. So for any changes that happen after the page loads, you need a way to get that back into PHP.
The "Invisible Get" method allows you to use GET variables for this without filling the URL with effluvia (like temporary object properties) that you wouldn't want bookmarked.
For example, take my "spinner object" example. By using Invisible Get, after clicking on the "increment spinner" button the user sees
rather than
<http://www.getsome.com/submit.php?spinnerValue=38>
And, as far as I can tell, there are really no drawbacks other than having to serve a tiny, unnoticeable interstitial page. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can generate even that on the fly with JavaScript, but I don't know anything about JavaScript.

It's simple, which is one thing I like about it. My submit.php looks like this:
<?php session_start(); header('Location: ' . $_REQUEST['target']);
reset ($_REQUEST); while (list ($key, $value) = each ($_REQUEST)) { switch ($key) { case "target": break; case "PHPSESSID": break; default: $_SESSION[$key] = $value; break; } }
echo " "; // NN4 requires that we output something... exit(); ?>
Then to send a new value for a variable, I just have link that looks like <http://www.domain.com/submit.php?variable=3>.

I'm curious...your redirect doesn't include the session ID, so how you maintain session information for people who don't have cookies enabled? It's always been my experience that trans sid doesn't append the SID to header redirects. You have to do it manually (I use the SID constant for this purpose).
Of course, the above would work for clients that send the appropriate cookie, but if you're using cookies anyway why go to all this trouble?
I apologize if I'm not understanding what you're trying to accomplish...

When I test on a browser with cookies disabled, I imagine I'll find that I have to do that. That's okay, though.
> Of course, the above would work for clients that send the appropriate cookie, > but if you're using cookies anyway why go to all this trouble?
Because (for example) you can't have a button on your page that adjusts a property (represented as a PHP session variable) of some object on a page. Instead, you have to use GET variables, PUT variables or cookies to pass data to the next page.
GET variables seem to be the best choice for non-form items. The problem with GET variables is that, normally, you see them in the address bar. This is user-unfriendly, allows people to bookmark URLs that won't work outside of their session, etc. Today alone, 3 out of 4 URLs that people IM'd me didn't work, because they were filled with session-specific properties.
<http://www.getsome.com/?spinnerValue=38>
My Invisible GET method avoids all of this.

If I understood you correctly you want to accomplish something like
a) you have a file upload form b) user clicks "upload", and a progress meter is displayed c) when the upload is done, the progress meter will be at 100% and vanish or tell "finished" or something like that
I'm afraid this cannot be done very easily. What you'd need to know at the moment the user clicks on "upload" would be the actual filesize, and the average transmission speed so you can estimate the pace to go from 0 to 100. And, you need both values at the client's, a server side script is not yet active at this time.
I'd suggest to take the easy road (seen on a couple of other sites)... Create an animated gif with a progress bar constantly scrolling. In your form's "onSubmit()" method (at the client's side!), do a window.open() with the appropriate parameters to generate a small window without any controls, sized sufficiently to just contain this gif.
The URL of this popup would be a PHP script (with the same session ID of the uploader) which would basically do this:
if (!$_SESSION['popup_opened']) { $_SESSION['popup_opened'] = true; send_popup_html(); } elseif (!$_SESSION['xmit_done']) header('HTTP/1.0 204 No Content'); else send_close_html();
send_popup_html would add a header to refresh the popup: header('Refresh: 1; URL=http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?SID);
send_close_html would simply send html like <body onload='window.close();'>
I hope you get the idea... Basically the crucial stuff is the refresh header for the popup url that causes the client to _try_ to refresh every second. As long as the transfer is not finished, the popup script simply replies with "204 No Content", so the browser would change nothing with the popup. When the upload is eventually finished, the refresh request succeeds, but the only stuff the client receives is a javascript closing the popup...

There's no way to know the percentage of the file that's uploaded, so you can't have a true progress indicator. You could just use a little popup that shows a 'wait, we're doing something' graphic that the following page closes when it loads.

Hello guys,
I have a question:
How can I create a drop down menu where the choices are the days of the month, displaying always the next 7 days?
What I mean is, create a drop down menu and show the today's date, next day, and next...
Example: Today is 12th, then the menu shows the following option to be choosen 12/11/02 13/11/02 14/11/02 15/11/02 16/11/02 17/11/02 18/11/02
Tomorrow 13th will display 13/11/02 14/11/02 15/11/02 16/11/02 17/11/02 18/11/02 19/11/02
and so on...

You'll need to use some combination of time() & strftime(), and whilst not strictly necessary but highly recommended strtotime().

You need a two-phase operation on this:
1) isolate all <pre></pre> elements preg_match('/(.*?)<pre>(.*?)<\/pre>(.*)/is', $string, $armatch);
$armatch now contains: [0] all, ignore this [1] everything before <pre> [2] everything within <pre></pre> [3] the rest after </pre>
2) go on and replace all <br>'s here: preg_replace('/<br>\n?/is', "\n", $armatch[2]);
The whole stuff would look something like
/* UNTESTED */ function kill_br_within_pre($string) { $re1 = '/(.*?)<pre>(.*?)<\/pre>(.*)/is'; $re2 = '/<br>\n?/is'; $result = null;
while ($string) { $armatch = preg_match($re1, $string, $arMatch); if (is_array($arMatch)) { $result .= $arMatch[1]; $result .= preg_replace($re2, "\n", $arMatch[2]); $string = $arMatch[3]; } else break; } $result .= $string; return $result; }
This assumes that all <pre> are properly closed with </pre>. As said, I didn't test, but it should work this or a similar way.

hi, i tried to implement the code, but it does not work if the string:
a) doesnt contain any <pre>..</pre> b) doesnt contain any <pre> c) doesnt contain any </pre> d) contains multiple <pre>..</pre>'s
so i altered it a little and this is what i came up with:
<? function remove_br_in_pre($string) { unset($result); if (!preg_match('/(.*?<pre>)(.*?)(<\/pre>)(.*)/is', $string)) { if (!preg_match('/<pre>/is', $string)) return $string; else $string .= "</pre>"; } while ($string) { preg_match('/(.*?<pre>)(.*?)(<\/pre>)(.*)/is', $string, $arMatch); if (is_array($arMatch)) { $result .= $arMatch[1]; $result .= str_replace('<br>','',$arMatch[2]); $result .= $arMatch[3]; if (!preg_match('/<pre>/is', $arMatch[4])) { $result .= $arMatch[4]; return $result; } $string = $arMatch[4]; } else break; } } //test string $param = "test<br>test<br><pre><br>testing<br>testing<br></pre>test<br>test<br>test<pre>test<br>test</pre>testing<br>test"; echo remove_br_in_pre($param); ?>
now, i've tried it in a few different scenarios and it seems to be working, although the function might be redundant and far from pretty - it gets the job done. however, i have a question; what does the "is" in //is denote? ;-) (doesnt it feel great to have code sniplets you have no idea what they do in your scripts? ;-))
also, do you see any direct "bugs slash features" in the current function? i'm not usually asking someone who spends his freetime helping others "baby sit" my code, but this was my first day using regular expressions so i've been taking a few sure shots.. so it would be great if you could just take a quick glance at it.

this is just a shot in the dark, beware. but i think you could make use of the system() function and pass the output to a file.

No if it works use it, but if you choose to go with system() you will need to pass the command through escapeshellcmd() as a security precaution.

Hi list,
has anyone ever experimented to "melt down" the php engine to a few hundred KBs ? By leaving out not needed libraries/functions ?
What i am searching for is a very small webserver (exists) and a very small php-engine through which the webserver can process php-scripts.
We want to use it for demos. We are developing dynamic files, but to create demos and send them to the client as as zipped HTML we always have to rewrite things in html-hardcode or a type of javascript-mimikry
if we had a php-engine of about 500 kB, a webserver of 200 kB and 100 kB scripts & images, we could pack a whole, self-executing dynamic webpage demo into an e-Mail-attachement of 800 kB.
We don't want to send a full Apache and MySQL and PHP engine binaries of about 25 megs via e-Mail. Or Oracle ..
Has anyone ever done something like this ?

Yup. So you can have:
print "I'm a $variable";
instead of the messy javascript way:

So you can put variables inside quoted strings. Without $ how would this work?

It also means you can have variables that are the same name as function names.

I just seemed to me that to add $ everywhere was more work (and not as aesthetic as a plain word) than using some other syntax for print. But, in fact, it could have been designed so you could still use
print "I'm a $variable";
without the use of $ in other uses of the variable (like in assignments and references to it), right? Rhetorical question.

But the language could still support variable evaluation within strings without requiring the '$' to always appear in front of a variable name.
So, a '$' within a string would mean "treat the following identifier as a variable to be evaluated". I believe that this introduces no inconsistencies & removes the ugly $s that litter PHP programs.

I guess this could be true. But I don't understand why someone would need an "easy" way to identify variables? Why not an easy way to identify function names? Or constants?
In any case, I don't recall anyone complaining that they had trouble "identifying variables" in C, C++, Modula, Pascal, Java, etc.

You can't change the language at this date, and still call it PHP. There
is a LOT
of PHP code out there. I can question, but expecting it to change is not
realistic.

Well, perl and PHP use the $ for slightly different reasons, it seems.
In perl, the *thing* in front of a variable name ($, , %) indicates
what context the variable is being used in (scalar, list, hash).
Depending on what you want your variable to do, using a different
character makes all the difference. The leading character is not a part
of the variable name.
PHP seems to use the $ more for readability, and possibly for making the language easier to parse (and, of course, the aforementioned string-embedding). Since all variable types (scalars, arrays, objects) seem to use the $, it seems more for syntactic uses and less as something that changes how the object behaves.
However, I like having it there. It (as someone else mentioned) helps me quickly see where variables are used, both in and out of strings. It also probably helps syntax-highlighting text editors read the code more quickly, although it may be just as easy without.
All I know is when I think back to programming C++, I can't imagine how I could deal with variables that didn't have something in front of them to separate them from barewords.
Oh well.

It's a design decision that works well for me too. I don't see it as a particular waste, considering that there are other wastes I'd like to get rid of. PHP is a maturing language and there is (imho) still a lot of ground to cover.
BTW, it's not a matter of "questioning"... as far as I'm concerned it'a matter of "considering" what the consequences of any change that is made to the software are. Consider the amount of damage that turning register_globals off has made--all you have to do is counting the e-mails the list gets every day; I counted up to ten in a day--and you'll see that changing the dollar sign convention, a much more pervasive convention, can be a disaster.

Quite right. But, having developed a couple of interpreters myself, I assume there's some sound reason.
Think of how an interpreter works. It parses the sourcecode in realtime, not as a compiler. People must _wait_, every time, until it is finished, not only once like a compiler. Thus designers of interpreted languages like something that can easily be distinguished, so you don't need to lookup a lot of hash tables to identify a symbol, or to resolve amiguities.
That's why the '$' preceds a variable name. Simply said, when the parser sees a '$', it knows which symbol table to look it up. If a token doesn't have a '$', it can be found in the table of keywords of the language's state machine.
Easy explanation, huh? Simple example: taken that a PHP application consists of 1000 tokens, 200 of the tokens are variable names, and 800 non-variable tokens, the interpreter would either 200 times look up the wrong symbol table (if it chooses to lookup the keywords first), or 800 times (if it looks up the entity table first).
Simply saves time...

esp. in C++ you usually tend to use your own prefixes - something like 'm_' for member variables, '_' for statics or locals, etc. It even goes further using the hungarian notation (which I'm a great fan of).

Yeah, I wondered about that. Having heard that C was designed in part for the parser. A parser with no lookahead (or maybe 1 char of lookahead) was used, which is why hex numbers start with "0x" instead of being suffixed with "_16", just to contrive an example.
I would be curious to hear the author say whether this played a part in his decision.

Hi all,
I was hoping to find some code examples or tutorials on using PHP/MySQL with Japanese text. The site I've built is very close, but apparently a very small subset of the characters become garbage when pulled from the database into a form to be modified and resubmit to the database. Text in <textarea> tags seems immune -- it's only the text pulled into <input> tags.
I've tried to follow the PHP documentation on handling multibyte characters but without practical examples it really just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I'm not currently using encoding or output buffering at all -- I've just set the language to be "shift_jis" in a meta tag.
Thanks in advance, -Step

You mean in your html pages? That wouldn't really work unless you've configured php to handle multi-byte characters. (Maybe not necessary in 4.3.x versions...) Besides, you also need to configure MySQL to handle the Japanese characters. You need to check your configuration/settings in your my.cnf and php.ini.
Without any code snippets and environment info, it'll be hard for anybody to help out...

}
However, this does not work. It appears that you can't unset the $_POST['form'] array element.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I know I'm probably missing a few very obvious things here... but I am a newbie.

unset() works for any variable - also for the superglobals like $_POST. Try this:
--------------------[cut here]-------------------- <xmp> <?php print_r($_POST); echo 'F1 = ', $_POST['f1'], "\nF2 = ", $_POST['f2'], "\n"; unset($_POST['f2']); print_r($_POST); ?> </xmp> <form method="POST"> <input type="text" name="f1" value="<?php echo $_POST['f1'];?>"> <br> <input type="text" name="f2" value="<?php echo $_POST['f2'];?>"> <br> <input type="submit"> </form> --------------------[/cut here]--------------------
What error do you get? Make sure you're using the correct case - PHP is case sensitive in variable names and associative index keys...

All, Does anyone know where I can find information on generating MS Excel files, with PHP?
I was able to generate the Excel file (so I thought), but Excel cannot open the file. Can someone point me to some references, tutorials and/or samples?
Please help.

Easiest way is to just create an HTML table and send it with Excel headers. Exel will open it right up as a spreadsheet.
There are some classes that allow you to do more complex things, too, but I can't remember any URLs.
Google is your friend.

November 12, 2002 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT phpDocumentor version 1.1.0 http://www.phpdoc.org Download: http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
The phpDocumentor Development team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor version 1.1.0. This exciting release is a stable release of phpDocumentor.
phpDocumentor is the most advanced auto-documentation system available for PHP. Similar to the auto-documentor included with PEAR, phpDocumentor parses documentation comments in the PHP source to create hyperlinked API references for projects. Unlike the PEAR auto-documentor, phpDocumentor is extremely fast, has excellent documentation included, and the ability to parse any legal PHP syntax.
phpDocumentor is the only auto-documentor written specifically for PHP that supports output to formats other than HTML. Through the use of "Converters" similar to JavaDoc's doclets, phpDocumentor can interface parsing output to any template with minimal coding. In addition, a pre-alpha Converter to PDF output is included along with 8 choices of HTML output and a pre-alpha CHM converter
Other features include: --parsing any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same file --fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax ($string = <<< EOF, for example) --error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of documentation tags --extensive documentation of the package, including a detailed specification for tags and templates --open source, GPL
Changes since 1.1.0rc2 include: --VAST improvement in the PDF Converter --stabilization of the Smarty Converter --a new default HTML template, phphtmllib
Changes since 1.0.0 include: --addition of a converter that uses the Smarty template engine --addition of a PDF Converter --addition of a CHM Converter
PHPDocumentor is already used by several PHP projects including PostNuke Content Management (http://www.postnuke.com), phpHtmlLib (http://phphtmllib.newsblob.com) , and phpRPC (http://phprpc.sourceforge.net/)
To Download, go to http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

In your php.ini file you can turn on all the errors have have them displayed...
I would suggest doing that and you should see some errors if there are any.
Have you verified that dates in the database via mysql command line or gui application.

I think you should put quotes around all of these values 12 exept null or change null to '' ///

Dont we all forget 'things' after vacations eh? ;-) I think you forgot a ' somewhere...
$query = "INSERT INTO mararegistro (visitorid, fname, lname, borndate, address, city, country, phone, how) VALUES (null, 'c', 'c', '12', 'c', 'c', 'c', 12, 'c')";
You forgot to put single qoutes around 12. Now it should work

You may always do two things to spot any error like this:
a) set error_reporting to a value where the error will be shown, e.g. "error_reporting(E_ALL | ~E_NOTICE);" This will override the INI file for the script instance
b) cluster your code with "echo" statements to see the value of certain variables.
