Which unfortunately is installation specific. I.e., if I am distributing a program
and want to install a file which the user modifies to contain the passwords, I have to direct
the user to manually update the permissions of that file to suit his site.

How can I use a password hash to log on to a database server (or for any other login
for that matter)?

i apologize. i completely misunderstood your original post.

in which case, i can think of only two things (not to say there aren't
more): 1. restricting access to the file via permissions, and 2. putting
the file outside of the web root so that it can not be requested via the
web.

You mean the password for the database? Why would the user
need that? If the users need a password to access the site,
then create one for the *site*. Only you and your scripts
need to know what the password for the database is...

And why would they need to recover/discover them?

If other users of the server can "see" your script(s) that
holds the information (username/password) for your db,
then they don't even have to know the real password--
they can just used the hashed ones to access your db.

Or, maybe you want to explain more? :)

If you're on a shared environment and if all the users are
running under the same UID then permissions wouldn't
really matter...

Well, at this point there is no need for those hashes.

Do you have gcc installed? If so, does the user running configure have
permissions to write to the current directory?

The basic pear installation is installed with php by default, if
you want another package its as easy as:

pear install <packagename>

see pear --help for other options, like the nifty upgrade feature.

for starters, that doesn't give me a warning at all.

also, all those escapes arn't needed:

$reg = '/^[a-zA-Z0-9()]{1}[ a-zA-Z0-9()_,.\'"-]{1,999}$/';

The ' is only escaped for php, not the expression. And moving the -
to the end or beginning, you don't need to escape it.

You're going to need to get some sort of backtrace, either from the
core dump or ran interactivly.

Disable php accelerator and see if it happens. You'll most likely
need to reinstall php accelerator.

a backtrace simply shoes the calling stack of functions, very
helpful in seeing why and where its crashing.

#0 is where the program crashed, and the 0x0 means that execution
tried to access a NULL pointer which is illegal, thus the crash.

I disabled it, still happened...

But as soon as I remove the --with-pspell from the php configure it works
fine.

So are you saying I should try and reinstall php-accelerator after I build
with pspell enabled?

SHIT, that did it...
I didn't disable it in php.ini like I had thought, but once I did everything
is fine...
So why is this causing it?

To re-install it maybe I just need to rebuild it?

I don't remember if I had source on it, trying now...

OK, I found that PHPA is delivered pre-built with an .so for each platform
and has not been modified in a long time... Is this a bug in PHPA from
ZEND? Can I somehow get it to work? I would hate to have to run with PHPA
off to offer pspell...

What do you recommend?

Well, you could use an alternative accelerater, one I would
recomend is APC, and happens to be called "Alternative PHP Cache" :)

The biggest advantage is that you can upgrade you're php without
waiting for a third party to make the binary for you. And does
come highly recommended by many.

Home page (seems outdated):
http://apc.communityconnect.com/

Extension page:
http://pecl.php.net/apc

You can install it with the pear utility:

pear install apc

That will fetch the code, compile it against your installed
version of php and install it.

I tried, no luck:

downloading APC-2.0.4.tgz ...
Starting to download APC-2.0.4.tgz (44,606 bytes)
............done: 44,606 bytes
35 source files, building
running: phpize
aclocal: not found
`phpize' failed

So I then tried to do it manually and the INSTALL recommend I run phpsize,
which I don't have on my system in my php directory???

well, crap.. this is getting more complicated than i had expected
:)

If you're willing to take this all the way, you're going to need to
install some dependencies (that I forgot to mention)

You're going to need the tools:

autoconf (version 2.13)
automake (version 1.4+)

Once those are installed, the phpize tool *should* work.

attached mail follows:

I am using the domxml php extension for transforming XSLT, only I have
the problem that it doesnt take some of my <XSL:output> settings into
acocunt. For example when I set ident="yes" it doesn't ident the
output, and when I enabled the "omit-xml-declaration"-attribute this
<?xml> declaration is this availabe, which should not in the output.

The XSL:Output I use:

<xsl:output
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
        encoding="UTF-8"
        method="xml"
        indent="yes"
        omit-xml-declaration="yes"
    />

When I use the exact same XSLT file with php_xslt extension/Sablotron
the output is as expected both settings are taken into account. Does
anyone know if I am doing something wrong in my code? (see code below)
I think it's a bug in the php_xmldom extension, because when I use
xsltproc.exe (standalone version libxsl) the output is okay too.

I also tried it in PHP5RC3 using DOMXSLT (well, the DomDocument and
xsltprocessor classes) and in this one it also works as expected!

I am really clueless, anyone able to help me out?

The code I use for transforming the xml file can be find below:

//
// Process the XML file together with the XSLT file to generate the
apporiate XHTML page...
$xml = domxml_open_mem( $result ); // create a XmlDocument-object
with the return xml file...
if ( !$xml ) {
die( "Error while parsing the XML document. Application has
aborted." );
}

// assign the XSLT stylesheet for this XML document...
$xsl = domxml_xslt_stylesheet_file( $xsl_file );

// process the XSLT stylesheet with the assigned XML document...
$result = NULL;
$result = $xsl->process( $xml );

if ( DEBUG_MODE ) {
$result->dump_file( $output_file );
}
echo $result->dump_mem();
$xml->free(); // dispose the object

I also tried it witht he latest stable release of PHP v5.0 (PHP5RC3)
and this version the result is also as expected. I made use of
DomDocument and xsltprocessor as classes to do the transform, the
phpinfo() page mentions nothing about Sablotron so I suppose it's also
using libxsl (which is mentioned!). This page gives the same versions

YES. You need to set the safe_mode_exec_dir path to be some path
without binaries. Such as: /etc, although that's a bad example. Make a
directory with only root write access and point that config option to
it.

Can anyone explain the purpose of PECL to me besides what it says on the
web page (http://pecl.php.net)?

For instance, the XSLT extension has been moved to PECL, but the
experimental XSL functions are included by default with PHP5. This would
lead me to favor the XSL functions over the XSLT functions since they
would be available more. Does this imply one is "better" than the other?

Is this just simply the PHP-dev team wishing to not bundle as much with
PHP? Can I expect any decent ISP to support enabling an extension listed
in PECL?

Thanks for any info and have a good night!

PECL provides a way to keep a repository of all the extensions that
are built for php, while keeping the core php clean. So basically
its a code seperation.

No. if you take, for example, tidy, you'll see that there is a PECL
version and one that comes bundled in your php code. They are
infact one in the same.

When php is released, it will include a selected few of the latest
stable PECL modules to include in the bundling of php.

IIRC, the goal is to keep the code base of php to a minimal and
include extensions that are favored (or widely used).

As far as XSLT and XSL, the one is prefered over the other.

Hopefully ISP's will be able to support enabling extensions. There
has been more publicity towards the promotion toward PECL, and
hopefully it will be known more than it is presently.

The key really is education for the ISP, since this is relativly a
new thing. If we could convince them that a 'pear install peclpackage'
is much easier than a recompile of php with a 1000 character long
configure line :)

I probably should have edited that part out, I only know that
through rumors. I'm unfamiliar with all the XSL(T) stuff.

If my understanding is correct, it should NOT be XSLT vs XSL
--it shouldn't be :)

I guess it's more on the underlying library. (i.e. Sablotron
vs libxslt)

Yeah, I guess that's what I meant; the "XSLT extension" versus the "XSL
extension" which basically comes down to the libraries powering them.

Anyone have any recommendations which one would be better to use in a
PHP5 project?

When the release for RC1 was announced, this was also
mentioned:

  "XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all
  extensions are now focused around the excellent libxml2
  library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/)."

I guess that includes libxslt so most probably you'd be
better off sticking with them ;)

why can't you do like this.

in one go.

If SOAP seems too complicated for your purposes, you can also have a

Well, if you just use the PEAR SOAP packages, it's pretty easy to do.
No XML at all, it's basically an OO remote procedure call.

I have no idea about the SOAP extension on PHP5....

Just an idea... How about doing something like this:

Retrieve data from the db(utf?) then convert it to the

Do you run the utf8 decoded data through htmlentities()? What does the

Hallo.

Thogh I am not really sure if this solves your problem,
but you should take a closer look at your method setChild().

Your parent-class has a property which you want to be an array.

[snip]
var $child; //array
[/snip]

But setChild() turns it into an object since the passed parameter
($child) is an object.

[snip]
$this->child=$child;
[/snip]

You should rather use something like array_push() or just
$this->child[] = $child;

attached mail follows:

Code I¹m using:

session_cache_expire(0);
session_cache_limiter('private');
setcookie("cookie","",0,"/","iffinet.com",1);
session_start();

I use session_destroy(); in the logout function but the /tmp/sess_* file
does not get deleted. Also the cookie doesn¹t go away even though it is set
to expire at the end of the session. How can I get the /tmp/sess_* file to
go away along with the cookie?

This is a description of the problems I am having:

2 Problems:

1. User A's information will come up when user B logs in instead of user B's
information coming up when user B logs in... User A's information seems to
be cached in /tmp/sess_8ce0348cbf6704f96c2d8094e876ac3b. Any ideas how to
keep this from happening?

2. When a user exits Internet Explorer without logging off and invoking
session_destroy(); the user cannot log back in immediately. If I SSH into
the server and delete /tmp/sess_8ce0348cbf6704f96c2d8094e876ac3b then the
user can log back in.

Do I need to write a shell_exec routine to delete this file when the session
is destroyed? How can I tell from the server that the user has closed the
window?

Thanks again!
