Did you write the code for the fork();

Can you modify it? Read the fork, exec and clone man pages. This might help you a bit understand the behaviour.

If so just call exec from the forked process... this will create a new process instead of a child one. Then call exit() in your forked process.

I need some sleep right now, my brain is in low gear....

Here's what I'm trying to do.

Basically have 3 HTML columns (<td></td>) printed to a web page but have them in alphabetical order from top to bottom and then continuing onto the next column. Like you would see in an index of a book.

This code works fine except for when there are 4 items (dbrows) to be displayed. ceil($rows / 3) (see below) becomes 2 so it allows two items in each colum resulting to only 2 HTML colums being displayed.

Can anyone come up with a better way to do this?

---------------- Start -------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

for ($j=1; $j<20; $j++){ $rows = $j;

print "\n\n\n\n";

print "<table border=\"1\"><tr><td valign=\"top\">\n\n";

print "<table>\n";

for ($i = 1; $i < $rows+1; $i++) {

print "<tr>\n"; print "<td>Data</td>\n"; print "<td>$i</td>\n"; print "</tr>\n";

if ($i % ceil($rows / 3) == 0 ){

print "</table></td>\n"; if ($i != $rows ){ print "<td valign=\"top\"><table>\n"; } } } print "</tr></table>\n\n"; print "</td></tr></table>\n";

print "\n\n\n\n";

print "<p>"; print "<HR>"; print "$j"; print "<HR>"; print "<p>";

}

> Can you email me the URL to NuSOAP and the PEAR SOAP pages?

I don't know much at all about the PEAR SOAP because it is still in testing. As for NuSOAP, I've just started using it myself and it seems to work well for what I've written so far. You can find NuSOAP here:

http://dietrich.ganx4.com/nusoap/index.php

> Also, do you (or anyone) have any comparative information on these two > methods/classes?

Sadly, no. In fact, I'm relatively new to SOAP. I started looking into SOAP and PHP not too long ago and read about both NuSOAP and PEAR. Since PEAR was still in testing, I decided to fool around with NuSOAP and it's been working great. Of course, since I'm still so new, I could very well be doing things ass backwards. :p

Check your register_globals settings! Either switch it on (bad) or start your scripts with $PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] or replace all $PHP_SELF with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. If you don't know what register_globals is check the Manual!

Could anyone tell me, is it possible to connect to a persistent socket after it has been opened by a different script? There is little documentation on this function. I did a quick search on google and lots of people say you can't, some say you can but its really hard and the rest go..."pf what??"

Thanks

Sure. Think of it like a persistent database connection in Oracle, where the listener is on socket 1521 for everyone.

The persistent part saves you from the 3-way handshake when you use the same socket on subsequent page requests. The only caveat is that you can only do one thing at a time, but this is typically handled for you at a lower level in the form of a queue. If I remember correctly, you can specify the size of the queue in your function call(s).

One last question, do you know how or what method I would use to do this via a php script? Everything I've tried fails. Like

Makeconnection.php <? $mysocket = pfsocketopen('my.server.com', '1234'); ?> --------------

testconenction.php <? fputs($mysocket, "VERSION\n"); echo fgets($mysocket, 255); ?>

if I call the makeconnection.php script and then call the testconnection right after it fails with invalid file resource error.

You will need to have everythng on the same page. Your program ends once the page does. Here are some examples straight from the manual.

<?php $fp = fsockopen ("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br>\n"; } else { fputs ($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: www.example.com\r\n\r\n"); while (!feof($fp)) { echo fgets ($fp,128); } fclose ($fp); } ?>

The example below shows how to retrieve the day and time from the UDP service "daytime" (port 13) in your own machine. Example 2. Using UDP connection

<?php $fp = fsockopen("udp://127.0.0.1", 13, $errno, $errstr); if (!$fp) { echo "ERROR: $errno - $errstr<br>\n"; } else { fwrite($fp,"\n"); echo fread($fp, 26); fclose($fp); } ?>

pfsocketopen() is persistent and stays open even after your script has finished running until either the timeout period is reached or it gets disconnected/closed....I think. I just don't know how to access it after you script ends.

attached mail follows:

Cool... Maybe I will learn something.. :-)

Well in that case (I already deleted you last mail), where are you keeping the file pointer?

You will need to register the var somewhere.. In a session perhaps?

Send me your code... I will play with it...

I just tried something similar,

echo "<pre>\n";

if ($p == "1") { $mysocket = pfsockopen("172.24.200.2", "1372"); echo fgets($mysocket, 255); echo "<a href='con.php?p=2'>Send Data</a>\n"; } else { echo (isset($mysocket) ? "It's set\n" : "Not set\n");

echo $mysocket; fputs($mysocket, "cntmpusr;tmppass\n");

//while (!feof($mysocket)) //{ // echo fgets($mysocket, sizeof($mysocket)); //} //fclose($mysocket); }

echo "</pre>\n"; ?>

this is the output I get once I've set the socket and tried to send data down it.

------------------------------------- It's set 0 Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in con.php on line 17 -------------------------------------

So I guess you can't pass sockets like that :/

Two comments from the manual that are interesting:

php dot net at domainofdarkness dot com 29-Jan-2001 04:26

OK, WRT to the p* functions opening a new connection when one already exists. It is my understanting that (under Apache anyways) this is on a per-process basis. If you do a 'ps auxw|grep httpd' on your server you will see more than one process. What p* does is make a p-connection on one of those processes only, the one that actually handles your request. Chances are that when you hit the page again it will be answered by a different process. I'm guessing if you keep hitting reload you'll get around to the original process again and there will be no error message or second connection open. Anyhow, this is true of all p* functions; they open not one connection per server, but one connection per server _process_.

venuti at sissa dot it 13-Sep-2001 11:48

Don't expect to be able to open a persistent connection within a script and resume it from a different script, not even if you save the value of $fp with session_register (in fact, $fp is a resource id and cannot be saved in this way). I did not find an (easy) solution to this problem.

attached mail follows:

Yes I saw those but what it made me think, what's the point of a persistent socket if you can't use it again? And that very last comment

"I did not find an (easy) solution to this problem."

to me implies there is a solution out there, it's just not easy. Well I hope there is one about. Anyway back to google :)

Well if you do find the solution please let us know. I would also like to add it to my PHP lib archive. I suppose it would be there for stuff like command line PHP.

i think you could, after enough iterations and if the server allows, get to a point where each process has its own persistent socket. in the script, first detect if the persistent socket already exists. if it does, use it. if it doesn't, open a new persistent socket. that process now has a persistent socket that you can use.

if there is enough traffic, eventually each process will have its own persistent socket.

of course, this only works well if the server (the process monitoring the socket on the box you're opening a persistent socket to) allows it and is written to allow multiple "simultaneous" access to the service without getting corruption (it may be necessary for the server side process to have explicit communication or locking between the multiple processes spawned (or locking within the same process, if it uses select()).

NOTE: i have not tested any of the above, it's just an obvious extension to the comment about persistent sockets being bound to the particular web server process.

Hi Chris,

I made your suggested change to php.ini and I show local value 1 and master value 1. Does it mean raw data populates the variable $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA when this is == 1 or does it mean that raw data is visible within phpinfo() when value ==1 in php.ini file? Just curious because, though the val is now 1 in my php.ini (and I restarted apache), I dont see any data in phpinfo() output related to this var. Did I miss something?

Thanks

Sorry, it just populates that variable (to my knowledge). I do not think it is ever included in phpinfo() anywhere, though that would be nice to have when it is on.

Hi all,

I've just finished a PHP/MySQL mailing list. Basically, I'm having problems with my sendmail function. It takes an array of e-mail addresses ($addresses) and loops through it, e-mailing each one using an SMTP class I found (the only identifying comment in it is "SMTP Class By TOMO (2001/09/14)"). The problem is, it's very slow. The typical array of addresses sent to this is 100 to 500 elements large. The actual mailing list has over 7000 members, but the e-mails are sent out to a geographical region. Ideally, though, this function should be able to handle mailing to the entire member base.

Here's the offending function (with private stuff altered). Currently, it will only send to about 50 of the addresses before Internet Explorer times out and cuts it off (perhaps five minutes or so). Note that this is without catches, so it skips to the 'else'.

If I comment out the sending part, as shown, the operation takes a split second and the log is written correctly, so I know the problem lies in the sending of the mail. The only solution I can think of is to make the user send things in chunks of 50 or so addresses, but I'd like to avoid this inconvenience if I can. Any ideas?

// Sends e-mail to the specified list of member e-mail addresses. function ncSendMail($addresses, $subject, $body) { // Delete last log file. $ftp = ftp_connect("ftp.somewhere.net"); ftp_login($ftp, "someone", "something"); ftp_delete($ftp, "/sendlog.txt"); ftp_quit($ftp);

// Create new log file. $sendlog = fopen("ftp.somewhere.net/sendlog.txt">ftp://someone:somethingftp.somewhere.net/sendlog.txt", "w"); fwrite($sendlog, "Last Mailing Result\r\n"); fwrite($sendlog, "Generated: ".date("m-d-Y, h:i:sa")."\r\n\r\n"); fwrite($sendlog, "The e-mail attempted is reproduced below.\r\n"); fwrite($sendlog, "Subject: ".$subject."\r\n"); fwrite($sendlog, $body."\r\n\r\n\r\n");

// Get the automail 'footer' from the 'automail' table and append it to the body. $body .= ncGetAutomail("footer");

// If there are catches, then for each member in $addresses, parse the subject and body for catches and substitute where appropriate. if ( is_string(strstr($body, "%FIRSTNAME%")) || is_string(strstr($subject, "%FIRSTNAME%")) || is_string(strstr($body, "%LASTNAME%")) || is_string(strstr($subject, "%LASTNAME%")) || is_string(strstr($body, "%EMAIL%")) || is_string(strstr($subject, "%EMAIL%")) ) { $mysql = ncConnect(); fwrite($sendlog, "Beginning to send messages...\r\n\r\n"); foreach($addresses as $address) { $this_subject = $subject; $this_body = $body; $dbresult = mysql_unbuffered_query("SELECT lname, fname FROM members WHERE email = '$address'"); $dbrow = mysql_fetch_row($dbresult); $this_subject = str_replace("%FIRSTNAME%", $dbrow[1], $this_subject); $this_subject = str_replace("%LASTNAME%", $dbrow[0], $this_subject); $this_subject = str_replace("%EMAIL%", $address, $this_subject); $this_body = str_replace("%FIRSTNAME%", $dbrow[1], $this_body); $this_body = str_replace("%LASTNAME%", $dbrow[0], $this_body); $this_body = str_replace("%EMAIL%", $address, $this_body);

$smtp = new smtp("smtp.somewhere.com"); if ($smtp->sendmail($address, "somebodysomewhere.net", $this_subject, $this_body)) fwrite($sendlog, "Successfully sent to member \"".$address."\".\r\n"); else fwrite($sendlog, "Failed to send to member \"".$address."\".\r\n"); } fwrite($sendlog, "\r\nFinsihed sending messages."); mysql_close($mysql); }

// If there aren't catches, send the plain e-mail. else { fwrite($sendlog, "Beginning to send messages...\r\n\r\n"); foreach($addresses as $address) { //$smtp = new smtp("smtp.domain-mail.com"); //if ($smtp->sendmail($address, "somebodysomewhere.net", $subject, $body)) fwrite($sendlog, "Successfully sent to member \"".$address."\".\r\n"); //else // fwrite($sendlog, "Failed to send to member \"".$address."\".\r\n"); } fwrite($sendlog, "\r\nFinished sending messages."); }

// Return. fclose($sendlog); return true; }

If an email address resolves in DNS immediately then an email may be sent very quickly. If not, DNS timeout can be in minutes. You could try using the dig program to look for MX or A records for your email addresses.

If you have a lot of customised emails to send then trying to do them on a web page is not such a good idea. I suggest doing them via a cron/at job, where there will be no timeout.

Okay, that does sound more efficient. I'd love to give this a try, but to be completely honest I haven't done much from the shell other than basic commands and managing MySQL. I do know that my host allows me to use crontab, though, and most other common *nix programs.

Could you (or any of the other readers) explain how I would go about using cron or at to do what my function is trying to do?

Am I happy I'm not your hosting provider! :-) They will probably flip if they see you send out 7000 e-mails.

Anyways.... crontab -e from a shell allows you to create a cronjob.

from a shell just "man crontab"

Cheers, Mike

Actually all PHP4 code is compiled before it is executed. What the author of that book suggests is pre-compiling a script. The difference between a standard script and a pre-compiled script is the time it takes to parse the code. You might pre-compile scripts that are going to see heavy use on your server. Or you might pre-compile a very large script to avoid the inherent latency in the interpretor as an optimization step.

The only encoder I know of is Zend Encoder ($2400) at www.zend.com.

Here's the deal though. If you don't know that you need to pre-compile then chances are you don't have to. The benefits to the casual programmer are negligable.

OK, I am mktime() challenged. Can someone please explain these results to me?

I have some test dates in October of 1998. For the days numbered 1-7, mktime() does not care whether I have a leading zero on the day or not, I get the same timestamp regardless, e.g., both a '7' and a '07' for the day number give the same timestamp. However, for the days 8-9, I get different timestamps for each if I use '8' versus '08' and '9' versus '09'. In these latter two cases, mktime treats both '08' and '09' as '0', and it gives the same timestamp as Oct 0 1998. What's up?

The code is below if you want to have a look.

Did you see this in the manual?

"The last day of any given month can be expressed as the 0 day of the next month, not the -1 day. "

I wonder if 0 has some significance in the month also?

with a 0 at the start php will treat it as an octal base number and 08 and 09 are not legal octal values. You have to use intval() on them.

Hi!

I know that it can be done with certain variables that can overwrite another variable. Like ....

$test = "123"; $other = "xyz";

$test = $other;

What about the Array? Can this be done?

$array_test[1] = "abc"; $array_test[2] = "jkl"; $array_test[3] = "$%(";

$other_test = $array_test;

echo $other_test[1];

Would the result be "abc"???? Does it work that way? I need something that would work with one array to a different array.

Yes you can simply assign arrays like

$a = "0"; $a = "1"; $b = $a;

We have a good size PHP libary -- about 370KB of source code. Its one class with a multitude of small functions in it. just doing a require_once() on this library appears to use about 5MB of memory.(the change in VmSize in /proc/self/status)

Is this a normal ratio of PHP source code size to executable size?

that's a huge class. is it feasible to split it into smaller classes that do smaller things?

i only ask. i haven't looked at any includes that are that big. haven't had to, i don't even use classes, i just have function libraries, each library file holding only related functions possibly with includes only for other library files that it needs itself (never including anything just because something downstream will need it, the downstream should include its own requirements itself), so i haven't tried to measure the amount of RAM something like that would eat, although 5MB for 370K of source does seem excessive, unless you've got complex data structures in there, or you're storing the all the rows of an SQL query in an array or something similar (i've seen a lot of that with programmers i work with, they store entire result sets in arrays to make them easier to work with, without considering just how much RAM such arrays would eat if the result sets are large). tiger

I don't know if I'm talking bullshit, but don't forget that each parameter or return valeu in php, if not explicited as a pointer, it's a copy of the full parameter. This way, any

function a(myclass c) { return c; }

would create another copy of "c" in memory. Things get a bit larger when you go with linked-list like structures in classes, where you have to take really good care to don't duplicate data. If you're not taking care, then maybe 5MB is normal.

IMHO, I agree with splitting the class into smaller functions. 370KB is a big thing, that maybe useless. PHP isn't Java so you're not suposed to do a "class mysite"

Its splitable to some degree, not clear how much as the functions are used in many overlapping combinations.

I didn't make it clear -- the memory is consumed before the code even executes -- just doing the require_once chews up the memory before any of the class gets used. I didn't write it, but I scanned through it and didn't see much in the way of data structures (small or large) being allocated.

There is a good chance that the problem is that your HTML table is screwed up. Make sure you close your row and table; it wasn't in the code you provided.

If that doesn't fix it, check to ensure that you have the correct number of cells per row.

Well, I have been chaning different settings the past few days and noticed that my messages had not been posted to the board. Finally got it going.

But here is my question, now that my email IS working.

can you override the engine setting in the virtual host block

I am running Apache 1.3.26 & PHP 4.2.2

ie:

in the global area of the httpd.conf file I put php_admin_value engine Off

and then do the following for my VirtualHost blocks

<VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot /some/path/public_html php_admin_value engine On </VirturalHost>

When I do this. PHP doesn't parse the files.

It just prints the php code in the sent page.

Is this possible, can it be done, and if so, how?

Hi,

i am currently working with sessions and how to secure them as much as possible. In an older script of mine, i used session_is_registered() to take care of this, but according to the manual: "If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(), ..." - i can't use this anymore. Well, so i wondered: how do you or would you make sure that s.o. won't be able to hijack the session? Also any recommended URLs about this matter are more than welcome as well :)

I am currently only checking the IP, but i read about issues with AOL users about this, since it can happen that their IP changes while browsing the site. S.o. mentioned checking the referer and so making sure, the script comes from the own server, but when using redirects or stuff like that (or the browser doesn't support this properly - as read in the php manual), then this isn't 100% working as well.

So, start nuking me with your comments ;)

Hi,

There's actually another thread on this topic at the moment... quick summary:

1. you can't rely on the IP address 2. you can't rely on the referrer

It's been suggested on the list that you could record the user agent into the session, and check against that -- keeping in mind that the user agent may be null, and that this would not prevent someone with an identical useragent from hijacking the session... it's more like an added layer of protection :)

Check out the recent thread "prevent session_replay"

you'd probably have to fopen/fgets or file, and then parse for the function start and end and read the contents. i don't know of any functions in PHP that will let you do this automatically so you'll probably have to do this by hand. or pass it off to an external parsing program (written with whatever you prefer, flex and bison?) which returns the contents.

sorry, i know that's not much help. but it looks like you'll have to do this the hard way. you don't have to do a full parse though if all you want is the text. you just need to identify function bodies, where the function body starts and ends, how to associate the function body with the function name, etc. you could probably do this even with just some basic text processing code instead of writing something using a lexer and parser. although the full lexer/parser path might be better (you can probably still avoid lexing or parsing most of the rest of the language).

out of curiousity. what do you need this for? :) tiger

Actually you should be able to get mcrypt working with PHP on Windows (mcrypt is not distributed with PHP because of the legal issues surrounding exporting encryption).

If you visit the PHP manual page for mcrypt at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php you will see the following under Requirements:

Windows users will find all the needed compiled mcrypt binaries here (http://ftp.proventum.net/pub/php/win32/misc/mcrypt/).

You should be able to add this as a php extension in your windows php.ini file and then mcrypt functions should be available to you under windows, there is no need to use other software.

I'm glad to see mcrypt support for windows because it finally allows me to use my favorite PHP encryption library between both platforms.

you have embedded double quotes inside a string delimited by double quotes. use single quotes to delimit the string (since nothing inside is a variable).

or escape your internal double quotes with a backspace, e.g.

echo (" internal double \"quotes\" should be escaped");

note: if you have ssh or console access to your server (or to a testing box), you can always run the command line php interpreter to see what syntax errors there are. e.g.,

php -l syntaxErrorTest.php

will show you syntax errors in there.

You need to esape your quotes in the HTML as in

echo("<table border="0" width="125" height="27">");

should be

echo("<table border=\"0\" width=\"125\" height=\"27\">");

Or, another option is to use single-quotes in the HTML:

echo("<table border='0' width='125' height='27'>");

That way you can include variables in there if you see fit (since the string itself is still double-quoted), and you don't have to worry about escpaing the double-quotes.

I'm not sure I totally understand... but...

to pause... sleep(10); i.e. 10 second pause Everything stops... not just output

you can buffer everything and only output it when you want....

look at ob_start

But a warning... your server or the clients might change the expexted behaviour.

I beleive you can use output buffering to stop anything from being displayed until the very last moment. Or you can code your page with tables. I know IE wont' render a table until the last </table> (I beleive), so this could stop your html from showing.

Or if there is going to be a long pause, you could make a intermediate page that displays this will take minute. This page would have a meta refresh that keeps refreshing itself checking the status of your job. Once the job is complete on the next refresh it will notice the job is done and voila display the results.

Sure, just read the following:

As a reply for your second question, you can always assign the output to a variable and echo the variable in the end of the script.

Andrew,

my application is of customer service tries to recharge the balance on a pin, and it is over their charge limit (the customer service personnel) then I was thinking I would display a header for a few seconds telling them the recharge failed, and why. however, I think I will just out it in highlighted text instead (and flashing if I can figure that out).

Thank god the <blink> tag in HTML was removed. Don't know how long you've been working on sites, but I started at the same time the first NSCA Mosaic browser came out. About 10 years now.

They had <blink></blink> back then, and everyone starting using it just about everywhere! Imagine trying to read complete pages that were blinking.

The first HTML chats would allow tags inserted... so someone would open a <blink> tag and not close it to make the whole page blink.

Anyways... the way I would do it today is to make an animated gif with the text blinking and just load that.

Well a few ways you can do it... how precise does it need to be?

You can have PHP write the mails to files with the time to be sent in then or in the filename; like somerandomstring.200301021545 Run a script from cron that would look at the files, parse the time and if it's time to send them just direct them into sendmail.

If you cant get to cron or to write scripts on your server. You can always put some include in a busy page of your site. Put it at the end after a flush call. But of course in someone wants his mail at 03:00 and you donrt have much traffic it might be late. It can check for the files and mail the contents if it needs to.

Might also be otherways but that's one.

Hope this helps...
