Hi!

I'm using the function move_uploaded_file in order to upload images on a
server.
My problem: It's not possible to upload a *.bmp file. Maybe this is not
possible with PHP's HTTP POST method, but I can't find a documentation.
Does anybody knows, if it's possible to configure PHP, that it's
possible to upload bitmaps?

Thnx,
Guido

I think the problem might be that the .bmp files you are trying to
upload exceed the upload_max_filesize or maybe post_max_size (php.ini
directives) and your script times out.

As far as I know, there is no file extension restriction directive in
php (as far as uploads go).

You snipped the important bit of the question:

"Do I use 200K or 200KB for post_max_size?"

Which that page doesn't answer.

Steve: the answer, from memory, is K - but set it to both and test it. Or
just set it to 102400.

Guido: you're probably running into the max file size problem with your
bitmap. The above link should help you.

attached mail follows:

Sorry if the title implies that I have a problem that needs solving. The
title was meant to imply that I think PHP may have a 'problem' (or at least
a shortcoming) with references.

I am currently in the detailed design phase of a project. There are many
possible ways to do things. One of the possible designs relies on object
references being returned in a function parameter, it would appear that you
can return anything in a function parameter EXCEPT a reference to an object.
So I will drop that particular alternative!

I was just seeking clarification that this was the case or whether I had
just overlooked some function (e.g. dereference($Ref) =& $Object).

As for the bizarre function, well that was just an illustration of what I
meant. It indicates that I can't just return copies of objects (which would
be the default case) because the returned sub-object would not be related to
the returned main object.

Thanks for the tip about returning arrays. I think that's where the final
design lies :)

You can access a string's characters with an index without declaring it
as an array.

$string = "foo";
echo $string{0}; //outputs f

http://www.php.net/substr (has an example)

Maybe this will solve your problem without using preg_split?

You kinda need to realize that

$String = 'FooBar';
print $String[4];

also prints out an 'B'. But this is adviced AGAINST because it is the same
syntax as you do for array elements.

To get a real array, do something like this:

$Array = Array();
for($i=0;$i<strlen($String);$i++) $Array[] = $String{$i};

But if you have a string with char-space-char stuff, split(' ', $String);
would do too.

No, no spaces between letters (otherways
it would be very easy, indeed). So there is
no way to match the "space between alphanumeric
chars" and split on it? I was trying to avoid
the loop solution.

Of course there is. In fact, this example, direct from the manual, does
exactly what you want...

<?php
$str = 'string';
$chars = preg_split('//', $str, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
print_r($chars);
?>

Hi guys,

Column of table defined as primary key. there is violation and error
message from database.

1) First way is to check if the value is already in database and then
contuninue with insert
(this invloes an extra select for every insert and leaves
defined primary key redundant)

What is the best approach to be followed for this scenario.?
what if there are several constrains defined on a table?

cheers

attached mail follows:

If you want to get database errors back in a meaningful format, I'd
suggest using PEAR::DB or another of the DB abstraction classes. They
can return an error which you can then check and handle appropriately.
In addition, it can let you use the same code for multiple database
types (should you even want to do the same thing on another DB backend).

A good point, if that's the way he wants to do things...

In which case, SC needs to be stored SOMEWHERE (DB), and a cron job
garbage cleanout could take place every 1/15/30/60 minutes to remove
SC's without matching sessions, or something similar.

Hiya!

%
% The problem I see is that a cart could be considered abandoned for 4
% days but then become active again because the customer has come back to
% it and has added more products to it. In this case I'd say it was never
% abandoned in the first place and in which case it would be innacurate to
% include it your abandoned cart total.

If you go with the ideas of keeping the cart in a session (and not
decrementing the stock until purchase time) then it's easy; when the
session goes away the cart does and it's abandoned. Have a simple table
of all carts created or even a counter of carts and reference that
against completed carts to get your ratio.

If you go with the ideas of storing the cart in the DB, then either
implement the simple table above for your count as carts get deleted
or just add an 'abandoned' field and keep the cart forever or perhaps
combine the two and note old carts that are due to be wiped as such and
include that analysis in the math against the cart_total_count table.

I shouldn't think so; it would be a bit of extra work, but not a big
deal. If you did, then I'd have a notice somewhere that an item in an
old cart might get sold out from under the buyer (especially if there's
any real or implied guarantee of availability).

I would imagine that Amazon, from another example, has at least this
level or perhaps even doesn't note the stock as "gone". Surely it would
kill them if I ordered 432 copies of my buddy's book, waited until they
said that they had stock again, and then repeated the process.

Do all these companies think that
"PHP is just a kiddie language"?

attached mail follows:

Hello

I am a astudent and my domain area is C++ I am and new
to PHP and all other scripting language. Couldnt hire
a PHP programmer coz of lack of funds :)

The program I wrote was just to learn how to execute a
binary from PHP. My actuall program takes a Name as
the first parameter and generates a registration code
for my software. I wanted a web based interface
wherein a user gives a Name and I can generate a Reg
Code for them and show it as output.

Therefore I do something like this -

./myapp "Karam"

output

a3fdgt567vcx75

Thats it. It only outputs the regcode and nothing
else. This is using some algorithm which is not
possible in PHP so cant use PHP out here :)

I have set the error reporting to full but nothing
happens. The PHP page loads up blank.

Ideally I should be doing something like this -

exec ( "myapp \"Karam\"");

and it should output the regcode?

I dont have any idea about safe mode. My PHP is loaded
up in my Host's server. Can I change the settings? If
yes then what should I do?

Thanks for your help.

Put the following lines at the top of your program:

error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

That will force ALL errors to be displayed. Now do you see any errors?

Do you have any debugging code to confirm that your code is running? Eg:

  echo "Start";
  exec ( "myapp \"Karam\"");
  echo "End";

Before even contemplating changing the settings, read the relevant chapter in
the manual then check its current settings by using phpinfo().

Determines if $item begins with $thumbname.

Same as, but probably slower than this:

if(substr($item,0,strlen($thumbname)) == $thumbname)

If $thumbname does not contain any regular expression syntax characters,
it mean $item must begin with $thumbname to match the expression. Even a
dot is a syntax character, the code should better be:

if (!preg_match("/^".preg_quote($thumbname)."/",$item))

preg_quote will escape special characters. But John's suggestion is better.

1) The php.ini option is user_agent, not php.user_agent. Changing that
has the desired effect.

2) If you want to query google you're better off using the google SOAP
API - it's legal for a start. See the following for more info...

http://www.google.com/apis/
http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/PHP/GoogleAPI/page1.html

3) You're better off looping to get the full contents than trying to
'guess' how big the file will be. Try the following...

<?php
     ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0');
     $url = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=php';
     $fp = fopen($url, "r");
     while (!feof($fp))
     {
         $buffer = fread($fp, 1024);
         echo $buffer;
     }
?>

I am not sure if this could match you requirements but I often use this
pattern:

"INSERT IGNORE... SET VAR=0"
"UPDATE..."

the first query will do the insert if not present a record with a same
unique index key
the second will be redundand if the first succeed and will do the job if the
first fails

both of the query should be designed for not to raise any error

Hi guys,

Column of table defined as primary key. there is violation and error
message from database.

1) First way is to check if the value is already in database and then
contuninue with insert
(this invloes an extra select for every insert and leaves
defined primary key redundant)

What is the best approach to be followed for this scenario.?
what if there are several constrains defined on a table?

the following works:

PHP Code ----

$dom = new DomDocument();
$aboutNode = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement('about'));
$aboutNode->setAttribute('name', 'My Application');

$versionNode->setAttribute('minor', 1);
$versionNode->setAttribute('revision', 5);
$versionNode->appendChild($dom->createTextNode('Its a test'));

$xsl = new domDocument();
$xsl->load('loading.xsl');

$proc = new xsltprocessor;
$proc->importStylesheet($xsl);

print($proc->transformToXml($dom));

You might also want to do it this way...

"SELECT firstname, surname FROM employees WHERE surname =
\"{$_GET['surname']}\""

Just in case their name is something like O'Neil, it won't interfere with
your script.

Good luck,

An even better way is this

//process the surname, add slashes
$surname = addslashes($_GET['surname']);

//make the query
$sqlquery = "SELECT firstname, surname FROM employees WHERE surname =
'$surname'";

This makes sure that if there is signs like " or ', they will be escaped ;-)

Forgot one other thing that improves it even more:

//process the surname, add slashes
$surname = addslashes($_GET['surname']);

//make the query
$sqlquery = "SELECT firstname, surname FROM employees WHERE surname LIKE
'%$surname%'";

You can add these percent signs( % ), in case you want to ensure that we get
results where the surname in the db is somewhat the same as the search
input.

If for example the surname in the database is "neill", and the user using
the search types "neil", then the extra %-signs will ensure that you find
this entry.

thanks all for the help, I substituted GET for POST in

\"{$_GET['surname']}\""

figured that I needed a 2nd php file which was invoked from the submit

While not directly related to your question, this site has good information

I had been running a CGI version of PHP version 3 for many months with
no issues. (I had custom extensions in the CGI version.)

Well, my hosting company decided to enable suexec on Apache (running on
Redhat Linux). As I understand, with suexec enabled, only the owner of a
particular CGI script can execute that script.

Well, we have made sure that the script is owned by the appropriate user
and group. Unfortunately, we keep on getting the following error:

>>>
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmasterislamicvalley.com and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have
done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
<<<

suexec_log has the following log message:

Could someone please advise as to what is going wrong?
(I did NOT modify this script for months. It works fine when suexec is
swithced off.)

Thank you very much.

The following will build a two-level menu as an unordered list, with the
second level appearing if its parent is selected. The variable "$gpid" is
grandparent id for a third level, which is not displayed in this menu. Some
checks are done in order to display a menu item differently if it is the
current page or an ancestor of the current page. (In the design I took this
example from, third level menus are shown in a different place.)

// build menu array
$menu_sql = "SELECT id, parentid, menuname, FROM pages";
$menu_result = mysql_query($menu_sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($menu_result) > 0) {
    while ($menu_row = mysql_fetch_array($menu_result)) {
        $menu_array[] = array($menu_row["id"], $menu_row["parentid"],
$menu_row["menuname"]);
    }
}

// home id is 10
$id = isset($_GET["id"]) ? $_GET["id"] : 10;
$pid = isset($_GET["pid"]) ? $_GET["pid"] : 0;
$gpid = isset($_GET["gpid"]) ? $_GET["gpid"] : "";

// display menu
echo("<ul>");
foreach ($menu_array as $menu) {
    // if the parent id is 0, menu item is main level
    if ($menu[1] == "0") {
        if ($menu[0] == $id || $menu[0] == $pid || $menu[0] == $gpid) {
            echo("<li><a class=\"selected\" href=\"" . $PHP_SELF . "?id=" .
$menu[0] . "&pid=0\">" . $menu[2] . "</a>");
            foreach ($menu_array as $menu2) {
                if ($menu2[1] == $menu[0]) {
                    $subcount[] = $menu2[1];
                }
            }
            if (count($subcount) > 0) {
                echo("<ul>");
                foreach ($menu_array as $menu3) {
                    if ($menu3[1] == $menu[0]) {
                        if ($menu3[0] == $id || $menu3[0] == $pid) {
                            echo("<li><a class=\"selected\" href=\"" .
$PHP_SELF . "?id=" . $menu3[0] . "&pid=" . $menu3[1] . "\">" .

Hello

The output is

StartEnd

I am sure that the linux binary is ok. coz if in the
sheel you just do

./myapp

it outputs

error

seems that the binary is not getting executred. I
think there is some permission info.

if i do phpinfo() i get the following output for safe
stuff -

safe_mode Off Off
safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value
safe_mode_gid Off Off
safe_mode_include_dir no value no value

Thanks for the help.

Good, that shows your PHP program is being executed.

Not necessarily. Now it's time to check the manual entry for exec() to see
what *exactly* that function does. You'll find that you're using it
incorrectly (or it doesn't do what *you* think it should do).

Good, that rules out a lot of other possibilities as to why your program isn't
working.

Hi,
I am totally new to using RSS feeds and need a little help.

I downloaded a few good classes to use RSS but dont know where to get the

Any idea how I can get a feed from Slashdot? or any other good

Hello Ryan,

For fun you might also want to try our XML/RSS Feed for PHP Solution

You might even earn a couple of EUROs because we put into a system an
offer
for someone to write a how-to on how to integrate this feed in a PHP

Basically RSS is just an XML file that you can retrieve from a site using
HTTP. Sites that make feeds available generally have a link to them somewhere
on the site.

In the case of Slashdot, the link is at the bottom of their home page and is
labelled "rss".

Im assuming you have some code to parse the XML...?

Hi,
Thanks for replying.

just had a look at your feed, pretty good but I dont think it will be
useful to the people who visit my site as its too commercial and basically I
want nothing but useful stuff to the visitor who will be a programmer or a
newbie.

The site is going to be "commercially untouched" (no graphics for
advertising etc), something I searched long and hard for but could not find
on the net other than in very few places.
