I hope this hasn't been asked too many times before because I've done an archive search and cant find the answer to my question.

I presently have much of my web site (www.home-fires.com) dynamically generated using PERL scripts. I have a need to reduce image
sizes and my host supports this functionality via PHP and imagemagick. (They will not support this for PERL however even though its
available) .

My question. Is it possible to dynamically generate a page using a PERL script that will in turn be interpreted as PHP by the
server since I dont/wont have the option of ending the filename with PHP.

My hope is that their is some directive that I can output at the start that will invoke the PHP interpreter so that my output will
be run as a PHP script rather than just HTML.

Thanks,

Generally speaking a script will be interpreted by one or the other.
I'm pretty sure that if you generate perl code from a perl script, the
interpreter doesn't run on the generated output - it's output. I can't
say for certain that simply generating php output from a perl script
can't be made to work, but I'm almost certain that it isn't intended
to.

I would however think that it would be possible to generate the php
output to a file and then do a header forward from perl to that file or
possibly execute the php interpreter from the command line and pass it
the php file as input.

Its kind of ugly, but its possible to call a php script thru a system()
function in Perl. You could write a php script to do the resize work for
you, and call it like...

system ('/usr/local/bin/php resize.php');

... in Perl. I don't prefer doing these kinds of things, but I guess I
don't personally have a better solution to your problem. Maybe someone else
does?

Why bother going through a system call? If you have apache loading both
mod_php and mod_perl, you can call (include or whatever) through normal http
methods.

Well, I'm a little light on technique....so bare with me...
I've got pages that are dynamically created via a perl program. The final
HTTP output depends upon input to the perl script.
I would like the output of this script to be interpreted as a .PHP page so
that I can take advantage of PHP functionality within that page.

Since I dont know what my page will look like prior to running the perl
script with its various inputs, I dont think I can do what your suggesting.

Maybe I'm not understanding what your saying and I'll admit I'm a novice at
all of this.

You're planning on piping perl into php? That sounds like fun.

Wish I knew which post you were replying to here, because I can't tell
what was suggested, much less speculate much on why it doesn't look like
it will work.

Anyway, if I wanted to be able to use some graphics libraries that my
hosting company made available for php but not for perl, I'd do the
graphics manipulations on php pages and be done with it.

(It seems odd to me that your hosting company doesn't want to load the
perl modules. That might have me wanting to drop the hosting company and
fire up an openbsd box to host my own.)

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good PHP book?

I tried the "Learn PHP in 24 hours" book, but it was incredibly light on
details. I'm looking for a book that has at least a complete function
reference and is geared towards the intermediate to advanced level
programmer.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,

I'll scond the O'Reilly books. I have Programming PHP and Web Apps w/PHP &

Addressing only the issue of the complete function reference, you can do
no better than the annotated online manual.

When I first started using PHP there was a dearth of books; I diligently
dloaded the manual and printed it out, only to find the online version much
more convenient. That was on a dialup connection, too.

Addressing examples, etc., there are an awful lot of good tutorials out
there for PHP, once a couple of those are worked through you pretty well
have what you need.

Use TOP in conjuction with mssql_data_seek() to get where you need. Since
you can't specify a starting point with TOP like you can with LIMIT, you
seek() to the starting point. All other concepts still apply.

Hello everyone,

Do you know how to calculate the number of days between 2 dates?

So far, I used that function:

        $a=mktime("","","",$month1, $day1, $year1);
        $b=mktime("","","",$month2, $day2, $year2);
        $c=($a-$b)/(60*60*24);

The problem is one date is prior to 01/01/1970, the mktime function does not
work.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

I dont know how exactly to explain this but will do my best, i have many of
the following lines in a page:

each line of course has a differient id[] value and package value.

Everything is working fine with the just id[] value but now i need to add
the package value too...but the problem is when i submit the form all the
hidden fields are getting submitted when i only need the hidden "package"
value of the ticked checkbox...is there any way to do that? or alter the
above so that each id[] can have 2 values?

In the above example i am getting upto 5 id numbers.... after i get the
numbers i am using it like so:

if(isset($id[0]))
{do things}

to get a better idea of what i am talking about if the above is just too
darn confusing check out http://bestwebhosters.com/search.template2.php

Further to that... if you need to add more columns of information. Let's
say:
        Text Name name="textname[id]"
        Checkbox name="checkbox[id]"
        Different checkbox name="otherchkbox[id]"

If you set them all up to use arrays, you can process the form quite
nicely like this:

        foreach ($_POST["textname"] as $id => $value) {
                // access other items with:
                $checkbox = $_POST["checkbox"][$id];
                $other = $_POST["otherchkbox"][$id];

}

I'm sure there are other ways of doing it, but that's the one I like. :)

Hey all.

Interesting problem here, at least for me ;--):

How to generate php pages using fopen() without having php code evaluated in
the written pages?

For example, if build_pages.php runs a db query and, based on the result
set, produces a test page using fopen(), how to avoid having php code
getting evaluated?

Here's an example snippet:

*********************************************************************
// Set read & write paths
$write_path = "C:\\apache\\htdocs\\client_site\\files\\";
$write_path = $write_path . "example_page.php";
$read_path = $doc_path . "build_pages.php";

// Read file to variable & close
$fr = fopen($read_path, "r") or die("An error occurred while opening
$read_path");
$text = "";
while (!feof($fr)){ $text .= fread($fr, 100000); }
fclose($fr);

// Create example page
$fw = fopen($write_path, "wb") or die("An error occurred while opening
$write_path");

// Write data to example page
$make_page = fwrite($fw, $text);

fclose($fw);
*********************************************************************

Give a holler for more info -- I know the question is a little vague -- I'm
still figuring out how to implement this solution..........

Or try to describe what you're trying to do and
what the you see as a problem.

Both fread() and fwrite(0 don't interpret the
PHP code in files that they are reading and
writing.

Hi php-general,

a friend of mine is trying to set up an automated mailing function.
The platform is Windows & he's using the last PHP release at this
time.
He asks me how to do it with Exchange, because it doesn't speak SMTP
or not correctly? What is the matter? Is that true? But that's not
really the question... could somebody point me to some documents where
I could find out, what has to be done to make it work?

Thanks

PS: On the manual page of http://www.php.net I couldn't find anything
about php & exchange...

I do not see what he means by not speaking SMTP correctly. Anyway, if it
receives e-mail that you get, it also can relay messages that you send.
I think in the worst case you need to authenticate.

In that case you may want to try this class for composing and sending
messages. It comes with a sub class for sending messages via SMTP that
supports authentication.

http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage

You also need this class for the actual message delivery:

Hi,

Hope you can help me:

How can i do the following in PHP:

When a variable is for example:

$a = 7

I must do the following 6 * X and 1 * Y, but when $a = 4 it must only do 4 * X.

So every when the value is odd i must do # * X and # * Y..

Some examples or hints are very welcome! Sory that this is maybe a little bit vague... Questions? e-mail!

Regards,

Frank

attached mail follows:

this is untested but should get you going down the right road

and this is assuming that you add the value = (6*X + 1*Y)

you didn't say that, so I am just guessing.

<?php

$var = 4;
$x = 1;
$y = 2;
$value = 0;

if ( ($var % 2) == 0 ) {
$value = ($var * $x);
} else {
$value = ( ( ($var-1) * $x ) + $y );
}

echo $value;
?>

Give this a shot, it should give you the results that you are looking for.
But remember, this is untested, and just a guess as to the results you are
looking for.

Hey,
I am getting something like this:

I will be getting upto 5 of the above values, Thanks to John Holmes (from
this list) I know how to enter it into the database but how do i create a
session with the above?

The reason why i want to do this is,
1)user picks upto 5 packages to save to his account (done)
2)if the user is already logged in then the insert query is run and all goes
well (done)
3) if the user has not logged in then it should be saved as a session and he
should be presented with the login screen, after he logs in the insert query
should be run from the session data.....without the user re-picking the
packages(not done)

I was able to do the above (point 3) when i was working with a simple array
(eg: id[]=1) but am unable to do so when working with the newer one
(id[something]=1)....

Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ryan

Have you tried:

$_SESSION['id'] = $id;

Since you have register_globals on, I guess you'd use:

Session_register("id");

maybe... :)

in the future a search of the archive first, or a search of php.net

We call quite a lot shell command in our system, e.g. /sbin/ifconfig, mv,

When we are using Red Hat+PHP 4.1.2+apache1.3, that's fine, no problem
But when we switch to Red Hat 8.0+PHP 4.2.2+apache2 , the system is fine,
EXCEPT htpasswd.

yes well i dont know how they do it , but as soon as i joined the mailing
list apart from viewing the list in outlook news viewer i started recieving
shit loads of spam to my domain email , same with the mysql list , i joined
the mysql list work and i now recieve tonnes of spam everyday , and its
spread like a virus i think other people in the company having the same
domain are recieving spam too now :|

so do they get the emails from the archive ? ?if so password protect

Not necessarily from the archives - they might as well subscribe a bot
address to multitude of lists, and simply parse the mails for _real_
addresses. As soon as you post for the first time their bot will add your
email to the database.

Unfortunately a subscription confirmation is of no real value - they would
simply confirm the bots address...

And, to be honest: don't you want to "impress your girlfriend"?

So what your saying is that we password protect from ppl googleing up
answers so one person can avoid spam? I personaly think that day will be
a sad one. As of right now I see no php value to this thread so a;;
rplies will be nicely sent to /dev/null .

PS. Look into a good e-mail filter.

Hey,

Change it in php.ini or in an .htaccess file.

It's always a matter of personal likes and dislikes. If you feel
comfortable with it, then stick to it (I do it sometimes, not always, as I
feel it's more important to try to hide stuff like private instance data
than to blindly adhere to rigid coding standards, as long as you can read
your code two months later)

>Question: Is there a better way in classes to access/modify var's other than

That's how OO is meant to be. Do it this way, even if the language doesn't
enforce it. There's _really_ only a very small performance loss (approx.
0.01 msec per access). However take care - accessing _big_ data (like huge
arrays, for example) using access functions may instantly measurable
decrease performance, since variables are _copied_ unless you're using
references.

>a variable or accessing it. Sure, I'd like to be able to use a VB style
>Set/Get property but who wouldn't??

Why don't you do it?

class CSampleClass
{
var $m_a = 'value a';
var $m_b = 'value b';

        function &Get($varname)
        {
                if (array_key_exists($varname,
get_class_vars(get_class($this))))
                        return $this->$varname;
                // demo only
                echo '[', get_class($this), "::Get: class variable doesn't
exist: $varname]";
                return null;
        }
        function &Set($varname, $value)
        {
                if (array_key_exists($varname,
get_class_vars(get_class($this))))
                        $this->$varname = $value;
                else
                        echo '[', get_class($this), "::Set: class variable
doesn't exist: $varname]";
        }
}

$sc = new CSampleClass();
echo "m_a = ", $sc->Get('m_a'), ", m_b = ", $sc->Get('m_b'),
", other = ", $sc->Get('other'), "\n";
$sc->Set('m_a', 'new data for m_a');
$sc->Set('m_b', 'new data for m_b');
$sc->Set('other', 'new data for other');
echo "m_a = ", $sc->Get('m_a'), ", m_b = ", $sc->Get('m_b'),
", other = ", $sc->Get('other'), "\n";

Haven't really seen this one flamed over on this list before, but maybe
someone will step in an freak out later on. At any rate, you make the
assumption here that Hungarian notation somehow inherently prevents
errors. This is believed by some to be true, and by others, to be
false. Hungarian notation does provide a set of tools for helping to
prevent errors, true--but any proper coding convention does that. Past
that, there is little to choose between them except personal
preference.

There are compelling arguments both for and against any given
convention, and all have their adherents. In the end, one must be
chosen--and for this project, one has been. Personally, I think it is
an excellent choice.

That's the price of a loosely-typed language. Buys you more than it
costs IMHO, but I understand if you differ. :)

Well, you could check out the experimental overload extension at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.overload.php, which may be what you're
looking for. Otherwise, just be careful with your references to try to
keep array/object copies down, and use accessor methods.

Well, at least you didn't mention emacs or vi. ;)

Ok, I've got answers concerning the learning curve and maintainability
and some pros and cons that I have found very useful.

Now the one last point that I would like to really find out about is
persistence. I keep hearing that you can get *true* persistence with
jsp/servlets/beans/whatever. I'm still trying to find out more details
on this as I can't see how you can get that since HTML is stateless and
whatever the backend is it all eventually turns into an HTML connection ...

Sessions in PHP are nice but as everyone knows they don't allow for true
persistence. And if you want to have your objects persist over a
session, that's even more work (and in my short programming career I
have not yet found a case where persisting a PHP object across a session
was worth the trouble/overhead).

Can anyone offer an opinion on this? Is persistence with jsp that much
easier compared to PHP? And if true persistence is possible is it all
it's cracked up to be?

I've often dreamed of being able to have true persistence but if I had
it maybe I wouldn't find it all that useful once I'd had a go with it.

Thanks,

Jean-Christian Imbeault

hi!

i run some really big apps (crms/email/shopping
carts/directories/forums/etc) that make use of persistance type data but
NEARLY all of it is just put in and removed from the DB - just all kinds
of little/big functions that need to maintain some data or state(s) of
some data - my system averages 20 queries per second - thousands and
thousands and thousands of simple queries - the only persistance is with
mysql connections

just my two cents

Hi,

As a matter of curiosity I've created a little script that will check what
screen resolution visitors to my site are using and store the information
into a MySQL database.

So far, I'm recording the users IP address, screen resolution, and the
date/time they visited. Now I'd like to be able to use this same script
for all my pages - but I don't want to have to add in a page title each
time I want to use the script, nor do I want to make page titles in PHP for
all my pages.

Is there a command in PHP that can get what's between the <title> and
</title> tags? I found a few scripts that can get page titles if they are
given a URL to go seek - but these scripts seem to store most of the pages
HTML code in memory and I don't think my web host would enjoy that.

TIA

Forgive me if my question is confuing, but I am confused so asking the
question properly is difficult.

Currently, I have a PHP application that produces barcodes in HTML. It
uses the following line:

  // Create the Barcode
  if ($obj) {
     if ($obj->DrawObject($xres)) {
         echo "<td><img src='./image.php?code=" . $barcode . "&style=" .
$style . "&type=" . $type .
                 "&width=" . $width . "&height=" . $height . "&xres=" .
$xres . "&font=" . $font . "'></td>";
     } else {
         echo "<td><font color='#FF0000'>" . ($obj->GetError()) .
"</font></td>";
     }
  } else {
    echo "<td><font color='#FF0000'>Obj is false; Barcode = " . $barcode
. "</font></td>";
  }

where image.php is creating the image. Now I need to do the same thing
except for a PDF file.. In the following code, I am reading in a JPEG
file, but I want to avoid the use of a file, and want to use a "data
stream" instead.

$fn = "dsc_5525.jpg";
$fh = fopen($fn, "r");
$data = fread($fh, filesize($fn));
fclose($fh);
$image = $pdf->jfif_embed($data);
$pdf->image_place($image, 50, 0, $firstpage);

In other words, I want to put the barcode date into $data and I am not
sure how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

  How do i find schema of my active directory or ldap
server using php functions.

  e.g., in RDBMS it is possible to write a query to

Is there any function in php or c to know what is the

Hi,

I know what the problem is, I also have no "cure" for it though - I'm still
investigating.

libcrypto (part of OpenSSL / SSH I believe) come standard with FreeBSD as
part of the source tree, installed in /usr/lib. There you should have a
libcrypto.so.1 & 2. SOMEWHERE a certain port also installs a libcrypto.so.4
in /usr/local/lib, and that is the culprit. Where it comes from, I don't
know as of yet.

mod_php for some reason, links against the libcrypto.so.2 as well as
libcrypto.so.4 and those two libraries conflict and cause the core dump. I
have reverted back to my old PHP (4.1.2) and it is still working fine now.
From what I can see, it's only the newest PHP (4.3.2) that has this problem.
I should actually take some time to bring this to the attention of the port
maintainers, but as I said - I'm not 100% yet on what the 3rd port is in
question here (that installs libcrypto.so.4).

You can check what your PHP is linked against with ldd. Basically, there
should only be one module type of each, and not 3 or 4 of the same (like I
had with libcrypto).
