Any idea why the HFS and Rendezvous modules had to be commented out in
order for PHP to work?

"If you have only used the PHP that came with OS X before:
You may need to comment (place a # at the start of the line) the
following lines in your Apache Configuration (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf)
file:
LoadModule hfs_apple_module libexec/httpd/mod_hfs_apple.so
AddModule mod_hfs_apple.c
LoadModule rendezvous_apple_module libexec/httpd/mod_rendezvous_apple.so
AddModule mod_rendezvous_apple.c"

You should not comment, if you do so you cant start apache at all

I wonder why the tutorial say that

attached mail follows:

Ok, I am trying to fix a bug on a site I didn't write, and I looked for
examples on www.php.net and couldn't find what I needed.

Here is the line of code in question:

mail($email, "XXX - Conference Registration Confirmation", $message,
"From: confirmationsXXX.com\r\n" . "Cc:lindaXXX.com;
infoXXX.com");

The Cc isn't working, and it looks strange to me. I want to find an
example of mail() using Cc: so I can see if it's using the correct syntax
and everything. Plus I want to change everything to variables, but I can
do that once it is working correctly.

Can anyone direct me to a good example or tell me what's wrong?

Thanks!

Try using something like:

I would have thought it needs a space after Cc: and before the email
address. Look at the example code here:

This looks like a bug of the mail() function. Have you tried separating
the recipients in Cc: with , instead of ; and also add a space between
Cc: and the first address?

This is *not* a bug of the mail() function, please change your
template for these replied messages.

';' is not a proper seperator for addresses. see rfc2822

I did not say that is the bug of the mail() function. In case you are
not aware, the mail function has many different bugs depending on the
PHP version and the system it is used in.

I guess you'll have to create the admin frontend/backend yourself. The
package is mostly for presenting/displaying calender data.

Take a look at the package description for its intended use and features.

I'm not storing sessions into the database right now, but I have before and

Hello all,

Are there any pre compiled rpm packages from Fedora Core 2 yet?

If not, I will most likely built it myself.

Thanks.

attached mail follows:

In Oracle, a stored procedure executes under the owners identity, not under the identity of the caller. Therefore I have knowed that many applications use packages to execute insert, update, select, delete statements instead of give user privileges directly on table. I'm creating a web application using php and Oracle, but I want to use this programing method, I would like to have some example to help me to understand, do you have one? This method is suitable on web applications?

hi..

a really general/basic question... what is the difference between a "cgi"
app and a php app.. does it really come down to where the app is being run
from..

i mean within apache, if i specify that php/perl/etc... app resides at a
given location, and that files with a certain extension are to be handled by
the perl/php/etc app, then i can handle the processing of the file by the
interpreter anywhere within my site that i grant access to. is there
anything/any reason to have a "cgi-bin" portion of my app, other than good
design practice...

clarification would be useful!!!

thanks..

attached mail follows:

This is one of those questions that will get lot's of different answers
depending on your responders perspective. This is my view;

PHP can be executed as a CGI or as a MOD by Apache (or most web servers).
This means that Apache can load a fresh copy of PHP with each browser
request to the server (CGI), or it can load PHP on startup, or first request
(MOD) and can continue to use that version for each subsequent browser
request to the server (on .php files only, of course). Interestingly
enough, I believe Perl can be executed by Apache in either fashion as well.

Apache gets config parameters, when PHP is available, that tells it where to
find the PHP modules, and will load them from there in either case. The
server also has a "Base Directory" where it expects to find it's
html/php/perl/etc documents and will make sure the appropriate interpreter
is used based on the document file type. There was a time when the first
line of the script (beginning with a splash/bang; i.e. #!/usr/local/bin/perl
) determined the interpreter, and this may still be available in Apache. It
should still be possible to even write "C" programs and execute the compiled
binary as a "CGI", which means in this case no interpreter is required and
form input is read from stdin and html is sent to the browser via stdout (if
you are familiar with C). While C may produce the fastest code, you should
find PHP is much more suited for developing web applications than almost any
other option.

Just to add to the confusion, PHP can be executed from the command line of a
telnet session, or more commonly by a "cron" timer program, which I have
also heard referred to as running PHP as a "cgi". The syntax for that is;

/path/to/php /path/to/php/script.php

Hope this helps a bit,

Warren Vail

As I know, if you run PHP as a module for Apache is faster than running
as CGI. Also Python scripts can be run as a module(faster) or as CGI. The
main disadvantage for Python as a module is that you don't get all the

What happens is that I get the first three params and then nothing.

Any ideas?

Hi Alex,

I'm going on the assumption that since you're using a URL parameter
in the include, you have fopen_wrappers enabled, and the URL is
external to your current site. Otherwise you'd just be doing a file
system based include.

I'm not certain if PHP is clipping the parameters. Though I would
discourage this form of include for several reasons described below.
Depending on the intent of your application, you may be using the
wrong function.

What are you trying to do? Pull the code of a php script into your
script, or display the HTML output of a web page embedded in existing
content?

If you're trying to display the contents of another web page within
your own, you may want to look at readfile(), read(), fopen() or even
make a direct HTTP call to the server using sockets. Readfile() will
read and output the HTML generated by the called page. read() and
fopen() will get the output of that page and make it available to you
for your own processing. These may be more suited for such a call,
since you'll likely need to strip <HTML><HEAD...</HEAD><BODY> and
</BODY> tags out of the returned document (presuming your existing
document has already displayed these).

If you're trying to actually include the *script* code for execution
within your program, this is a really dangerous thing to do. It means
the called server gets to execute arbitrary code on your server. The
code might not be arbitrary since you control it- but if your DNS were
hacked, it means a clever hacker could actually insert a different
script.

Another point to consider- if you just want to display the HTML output
of the included page, don't use include. If the external site were
misconfigured, it may output raw php source rather than the interpreted
HTML page. If this happens, that code will be run on your server in
your current execution context. Again exposing you to arbitrary code
being run on your server.

Hope this helps,
James Harrell

Subject: [PHP] Limitation to URL params on Include()?

Hi All,

Is there a limit to the number of url parameters(other than the 256
limit) that you can have on a file that you are including?
I have a file that I'm calling..,
include('http://mydomain.com/block_display.php?id=1&ttl=1011&cnt=268&lnk
=129&prv=202');
where the parameter values are record sets.

What happens is that I get the first three params and then nothing.

No, the url is on my site...

I have a file named block_content.php that is nothing more than a
display block with graphics for effect.
Instead of making several different display files I want to use a single
one and just assign a different value to the variables $header,
$content, $link.., and such. Then I can have as many of the content
blocks on the same page as necessary to display content summaries.

If I am headed in the wrong direction please let me know.

Display HTML output.

Hi Alex,

In that case, make your include file local; don't use the
URL, use a relative path to the file. Make the include
file have a function you can call or be an object you
can instantiate.

ex: block.php
<?php
function display_block($header,$content,$link,$andsuch)
{
// php code here to output HTML using echo... or
?>
... direct html output here ... and a
variable output such as <?php echo $header; ?> and
some more html, blah blah blah
<?php
} // end of display_block function
?>

Then in your main program do:
<?php
...
include_once("block.php");
...
...
display_block($header,$content,$link,$andsuch);
...
...
display_block($header2,$content2,$link2,$andsuch2);
...
...
?>

Or as an object:
...
$block=new Block($header,$content,$link,$andsuch);
$block->display();
...

I am using a db class which has the following method for cycling through the

function nextRecord(){

where queryID is set by running the query. It works fine and I can run it
as follows

$sql->query("select * from clients");
while ($sql->nextRecord()){ echo $sql->getField("name");}

Problem is, I want to have the array shuffled so the rows are randomly

mysql_fetch_array call and $this->queryID but nothing seems to work...any

Hi Edward,

first you are using $this->record and then $this->Record (r / R)?

Have you tried adding this line?:
shuffle($this->record);

Don't use the sign, it is bad practice.

I'm not sure what this is for.

Where in the world did $test get set from?

if $test is expected to be the value of $this->record, then all
your going to be doing is shuffling the order of the columns.

brian...

there are a number of ways you can do this... you can easily write a
script/app in perl (i'm assuming that php provides something similar...)
that allows you to contact the google url, and submit your "target url" as a
query in the google submit. you can then easily parse the results to see if
you find your "target site" in the respone...

if you can't find what you want from php.net/etc... use perl.. check out the
"www::mechanize, html::treebuilder, etc.." from the cpan.org site...

I found the docs in the API download iirc. It says "After you
download the kit, simply unzip it and open the file "README.txt" to
get started." on:
http://www.google.com/apis/download.html

Plus you can search the web for free sample PHP scripts people made
for use with the Google API.

You can search for info:http://www.somedomain.com/somepage.html .

To do it programattically you can use the Web services API. If you are
using PHP 5 already, you can use this class that queries Google in a few
lines using the SOAP extension:

MySQL is no longer embedded in PHP, as of PHP 5. Depending on your
platform, you will either need to build PHP 5 with support for MySQL, or
you will need to modify php.ini to load in the MySQL extension.

Thanks for the explanation! I understand now why it works on windows and not
linux and to the comment of "Who cares what happens on a Windows box?" I do.
This script needs to be cross platform usuable. Its no good using code that
defects on different operating system. Now someones explained i can work

I don't think so. Plus, the entire setup is a bit complicated and you need
FreeTDS as well as UnixODBC installed, plus some /etc configuration "magic".

FWIW, I have an article on the subject. It's in Romanian, but the commands,
configuration files and testing PHP code are clearly marked and are of course
universal, so perhaps you can make do with just some copy&paste.

Why is UnixODBC necessary? I've been using PHP and FreeTDS to connect to a MS SQL 7
server for the past 2+ years and I've never touched UnixODBC. Is there something
I'm missing by not using UnixODBC as well?

...You have a good point, Curt. We could modify the code just a little
bit for the same then. Instead of exploding with "/", we may opt for "-"
explosion. Typically, I have observed users using one specific format
for their entire application. A simple change in the function can make
the function suit their requirements.

...I believe Indiana and Arizona do not honor daylight savings time.
They switch back and forth from EST to CST (Indiana) and MST to PST
(Arizona) if I am not mistaken. If it is not applicable to a particular
user(s), they should not use this function. This function could be
useful for only those who intend to use it.

...Good point. I should write something with strtotime(). Thank you.

...I used the above method to indicate to users what is going on. I did
not use switch :: case because I did not want a month-to-month checking.
I wanted to check and process for only months 4 through 10 and for only
those dates in month 4 & 10 that made a difference between CST and CDT
(or any time zone change, in that case).

Is there an ini-file setting so that objects are
passed by value as in PHP 4? If so, how long is this
likely to be supported?

I believe this is possible with the following setting in php.ini:

zend.ze1_compatibility_mode = On

This should turn on PHP5's backwards compatibility with PHP4 (meaning
that the objects are passed by value instead of by reference... the old
way).

I have php code that takes text input from a webpage and and stores it in a mysql data base.
I tried uploading small images (jpg) using basically the same syntax but they don't make it into the data base.
Does anyone know of a simple tutorial that shows how to do this?

although I'm against storing files in databases...

$file =
mysql_real_escape_string(file_get_contents($_FILES['yourfile']['tmp_name']));
$query = "INSERT INTO yourtable (imgdata) VALUES ('$file')";

To protect certain web pages on my site, I am using the following code
inserted at the very beginning (top) of the page:

<?php
    include_once( 'init.php');
    if( isset( $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['session_id'] ) == FALSE ||
       isset( $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['username'] ) == FALSE ){
           header( 'Location: '.MEMBER_LOGIN_PAGE );
    }
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
... Dreamweaver template code here...
</html>

Is this a recommended way of doing this?

Next, to initialize the session, a login page posts the username - password
information to a PHP script, check_login.php. The login info is checked
against a database and, if all is kosher, a new session is created and the
user is dispatched to the site's home page. Here's the relevant code:

<?php
    include_once( 'init.php');
...
    $username = trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['username']);
    $password = trim($HTTP_POST_VARS['password']);

... if username and password check out, initialize a session...

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['username'] = $username;
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['session_id'] = crypt( $password );

header( 'Location: '.SITE_HOME_PAGE );
...
?>

Does this make sense? Am I missing something? Any review, advice, etc.,
would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Michael

Just a quick comment. It's recommended to use $_SESSION instead of
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS, $_POST instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS, etc. Look at
the docs about superglobals for more.

Hi all,

I'm trying to locate an up to date list (at least sometime in 2004), that
lists major companies (i.e. like Yahoo) that utilize PHP for their website
(or at least part of their website). I've google'd and searched php.net to
no success.

Thanks,
