Jay,

The $to variable is enda.naglenightsol.net
Then the emails are pulled from the database in the following order:
email1, email2, email3

The result is:
enda.naglenightsol.net gets a copy of each message (fine since its the
$to address for each mail)
email1 gets a copy of each message
email2 gets his message and the one for email3
email3 gets his own message

Any ideas?

Hi all, i know this isnt strictly a php question but
thought you would be a good group to ask because of
your experience.

Is there any security issues with passing data via the
POST method from a webserver to a different webserver
running ssl. For example:

webserver1

<form name='form1' method='POST'
action='https://webserver2/login.php'>
<input type='hidden' value='lalala' name='data'>
</form>
and then just using <?$data=$_POST[data];?> on
webserver 2 to retrieve the data?

Thanks for any help in advance.

There are always security concerns, regardless of your approach. Nothing is
perfect. However, sending data over an SSL connection offers a very high level
of security.

I'm not sure if it is relevant to your task, but you might like to know that
the client, not the Web server, is who sends the POST request to "webserver2".

Hope that helps.

Vince,
You also need to escape the $, so instead of
." if ($_GET......
use
." if (\$_GET.....

You may have to escape the single quotes.

I have written two pretty lame code generators. The first one did not use
"templates", the second one does. You've got the lines of code in your
"builder" script. I recommend moving those lines of code out, and put them
into a template, then use str_replace() to change the template as/where
needed.

Subject: [PHP] using fwrite to create PHP files

Hi all,

I wish to use fwrite() to create a small PHP file. So far, when I attempt
to do this, php parses the contents of the file that fwrite needs to
create. Eg, I have this:

$new_id = mysql_insert_id();
// create brand new file
$new_file = fopen("/var/www/html/$sitename/$submitted_url", "w");
$new_file_content = "\n"
." <?php \n"
." if ($_GET['preview'] == \"y\") { \n"
."
readfile(\"http://www.foo.bar/${'sitename'}.display?${'sitename'}id=$new_id&
preview=y\"); \n"
." } else { \n"
."
readfile(\"http://www.foo.bar/${'sitename'}.display?${'sitename'}id=$new_id\
"); \n"
." } \n"
." ?>";

write($new_file, $new_file_content);
fclose($new_file);

Note that $sitename is defined earlier in the script.

I know that $new_id and $sitename get expanded, as I tried this:

$new_file_content = "hello world. Look at my ${'sitename'}.display and my
$new_id";

and the new file was created with the above text and the two vars
expanded. My problem lies in the fact that I need to put "<?php" tags
inside the contents of $new_file_content. I'm not sure how to do that w/o
generating lots of errors. As you can see in my above example, I've tried
to escape the double quotes, but that didn't seem to help. PHP insists on
processing the "if" line instead of ignoring it.

I'm running 4.3.3 under apache 1.3.28.

Any help would be most appreciated!

You need to escape the dollar signs in your string.

Well, you can (if I'm not mistaken) create PHP modules using C++. You
could also create shell scripts you could exec(). PHP isn't really
meant to be a server control though. So anything you do should be
really beefy security. (i.e. make sure any idiot can't just go to your
web site, pass in a get, and change the settings of your ethernet. :-D
)

I'm trying to figure out ways to tweak my scripts for performance.

I've figured out that all mySQL queries should use indexed ids for
speed. (For anyone who doesn't know: mySQL indexes fields with PRIMARY
KEY, UNIQUE, or AUTO_INCREMENT in them. This means they're stored in
binary trees internally, so access time is negligible for an INT PRIMARY
KEY AUTO_INCREMENT).

But how much overhead is there in:

$link = mysql_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die("");
$db = mysql_select_db($database,$link) or die("");

Would it be beneficial to run a single one at the beginning of every
script? Currently I have a bunch of functions each with their own
calls.

You can create an index yourself:

KEY [index_name] (index_col_name,...)

Of course. One call is faster than a bunch of calls.

You should only "connect" once in your script. It's usually in an include
file to make things easy.

While multiple connections will just return the first connection, anyhow,
why do the extra work, right?

Yes that was what I was thinking. But I was also thinking that I would
need to global the $link and $db variables and run mysql_query() with
them in options. So I'm wondering how much work coding it will save.
Or will it default to the mysql connection active in the main program?

It'll default. You only need to pass $link and $db to mysql_query() and the
other functions when you have multiple connections open to multiple
databases at the same time (something that is rarely needed).

Hi!

I looked at the rand() at php.net which spoke about min and max random
number. So, I use rand(0,9999999999) to get a 10 digit random number but it
only return an 1 digit random number that is displayed at '0'. So, I tried
rand(0,9999) with 4 digit random number and got the random number. So, why
does it not work with 10 digit numbers?

It probably wraps the standard C rand() function which only takes an
unsigned integer which is usually 16 bits.

I looked at the rand() at php.net which spoke about min and max
random
number. So, I use rand(0,9999999999) to get a 10 digit random number
but it
only return an 1 digit random number that is displayed at '0'. So, I
tried
rand(0,9999) with 4 digit random number and got the random number. So,
why
does it not work with 10 digit numbers?

I believe its the OS he's using. to avoid this use mt_rand()
instead since this one is more efficient and system INdependent.

Great guide here Ma Siva Kumar... I am a little guilty of not doing
this, actually recently too... As I think most of us are at one point or
another... Although I would like to add alittle something, maybe just
alittle guidance for newbies and seasoned professionals like yourself!

1. Helping those newbies out there helps promote PHP & Opensource
stuff... This is HUGE... Even if we have to hold someones hand through
the first steps.

2. Most of understand the descriptions and explinations on the PHP.nt
site... But sometimes they are alittle vague (seldom though)... And most
people see them as very very technical... And they need some people to
translate for them...

3. Tutorials are a great way to learn PHP... There is so much out there.
I am by no means an advance PHP programmer... But more of an
intermediate one... Often I do go through tutorials, but still am left a
little puzzled... So I ask people on these mailinglist for
clarification... I found that people here have a wealth of knowledge to
make people like me(RIGHT BRAINERS) understand... Heck if it wasn't for
some of these guys here, I would still be trying to understand
arrays....

Bravo Ma Siva Kumar... Good guide...

Cheers!

Hi all.
Will PHP remove variables from memory when script will NOT use them in rest
of code?
for example:

<?php
$tmp=true;
if ($tmp) // here is $tmp used last time, will it be removed from memory?
...
... // $tmp is NOT in the rest of code
...
...
?>

or I must use allways unset()?

Thanx

yes, you must use unset() to remove a variable, otherwise it will stay

attached mail follows:

No, not random character generation.

Currently the application I'm working does the following:
1. from an array that defines HTML components (like a table row, input
field, file upload, etc), and,
2. from an array that defines PHP components (like sql queries, file
upload, assigning values to variables, etc), and,
3. a library of HTML components (like the HTML to display; a table row, a
search box, a text area, etc),
4. take all three of the above and do a (fairly) complex suite of
str_replaces and then file writes, output .php and .tpl files, resulting in
a (hopefully) functional application.

Primary advantage:
as the application developer (as distinct from the code generation
developer), you only have to build arrays. The arrays can be built from
HTML forms, or XML, or ...?

Secondary advantage:
if you need to build multiple instances of the application with minor
changes, it's trivial to build and maintain.

Tertiary advantage:
you have a common "framework" (though not technically a framework) for all
deployed applications. It's relatively easy to "upgrade" the applications,
or swap out sections of the code with improved code.

Hi Folks,

I've got a (in my eyes) very strange behaviour from my RedHat Linux 9.0 box.
I needed to upgrade my PHP version to 4.3, since that's the version on the
production server and well .. test and production should match pretty good
;). Since self compiling didn't work. All errors with apxs and stuff. And I
just found out about the new RH9 version with php4.3 I decided to get the
packages from that distribution into my test server.

Started with downloading the php packages. Ended up installing 20+ packages
because of all dependences. From httpd->mod_perl->Perl, pam, sendmail even.
Glibc of course. All seemed quite well. And from the commandline it works
quite well. PHP files get parsed through apache, but somehow it fatals on
"undefined function mysql_select". I've tried restarting apache a coupla
times. Restarted mysql a coupla times. Even rebooted the server a coupla
times. Installed the new mysql package. But nothing works. The mysql
functions stay undefined.

From the commandline it all works normally, though..

(ow, now suddenly the error changed to just "Error 500, Internal server
error")

thanks for any help ..

mysql_select by itself isn't a function. Are you using other code to

It sounds like you're having problems using the rpm package system.
I would suggest you ask these questions over on redhat for support
on using rpm's.

I'm trying to give PEAR a try and am currently following it's tutorial at:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-fetch.php

Now when I put this code into a PHP file I get a parse error on line 49
which has:

while ($row = $result->fetchRow()) {

I don't see what would cause the error, maybe the object syntax? I'm new to
PHP objects so little help.

Use the LIMIT clause in your select statement:

Add a LIMIT clause to that statement. The syntax is described at the URL I sent

You should have 2 or 3 php.ini files....usually

You pick the one that you want to use and copy it into /etc/apache while
renaming it php.ini. My current php.ini file is comprised of 775 lines
of information and directives. As I understand it the .ini is not
required, and probaly is not affecting the rand on your machine.

Ok, the reason I was getting this error seems to be related to Safari on OS
X. When I copy code segments in Safari and paste them in BBEdit they
generally looked ok, although there were extra spaces inserted in some
places. I then turned on show invisible characters and it made it even more
clear that something was up.

I'll detail it more later in my blog and then forward it to apple in a bug
report. For now I'll move to Mozilla for this.

BBedit has a feature called 'zap gremlins' which can help you seek and
destroy non-printing characters that cause problems. I always found this
to be an issue when copying from flash to bbedit - there would always be
null character stuck at the end, which would stop the script cold at that
point.

Hello..

Is there a way of setting the extension_dir by not modifying php.ini ?

i've tried with

ini_set("extension_dir","/home/alexcos/www/phps");
dl("first_module.so");
Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/first_module.so'

then , i've tried setting the extension_dir in a .htaccess file..
still , the same result..

i have developed a small module , but I can't use it..
my site is hosted on an service provider , and they don't allow me to copy the module to extension_dir or to change the php.ini..

what should I do ?

Thanks

according to ini_set() documentation, extension_dir can only be set
in php.ini or apache.conf

I'm assuming that this is on some hosting site. You can contact
them to see if they are willing to work with you on being able to
load a custom module.

As the hosting company, they most likely wont have you just enable
any module you want (especially a custom one) because you can
override a lot of security issues within a php module.

This code can't be clearly evaluated, There are several things that
can be wrong

global $currentTag may be:
  not assigned
  not all uppercase
  have a leading or trailing space
  not be one of the 'case' values

$data is empty.

Anyways, it is overwriting itself because of begin and start tags. I didn't

What is an average amount of variables that a session should have.

I have a good knowledge of basic PHP but have never worked with sessions
