Check out the various HTTP classes, they have features for submiting forms.

hehe, i know how to google, sorry, badly phrased! I meant where is the
best place, i found phpclasses and am *trying* to download what looks
like the exact thing I need the "advanced http client" class. Comes with
a nice example script for posting forms too, luvverly! ;)

Thanks very much m8

You may want to try this HTTP client class. I let you submit forms
including uploading files if necessary. It can collect and send back
cookies as well handle redirection automatically for you.

Hi there,

I am trying to write a pdf file which is created by a php script to the
filesystem.

Here is the end of the php file which creates the pdf document:

.
.
.
$pdf_close($pdf);
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);

Can anybody tell me how to save the file instead of printing it out
directly?

Thank you for any hint,

Merlin

$fp = fopen('file.pdf', 'w');
if ($fp)
{
    fwrite($fp, $data);
    fclose($fp);
}
else
    print 'Failed to open file for writing';

Is it possible to do something like this :

class foo

private $array = array();

        function __construct()
        {
                ...

}

$foo = new foo();

if (isset($foo->bar) == false)
$foo->bar = 'bar';
else
echo $foo->bar;

It seems that isset($foo->bar) return ALWAYS false.
Bug ?

It seems that you are right. I've tried off this code:

<?php

        class OO
        {
                private $elem = array("a" => 1);

                public function __get ($prop)
                {
                        if (isset($this->elem[$prop])) {
                                return $this->elem[$prop];
                        } else {
                                return NULL;
                        }
                }

                public function __set ($prop, $val)
                {
                        $this->elem[$prop] = $val;
                }
        }

$o = new OO();

echo isset($o->a) ? "yes\n" : "no\n";
echo isset($o->b) ? "yes\n" : "no\n";

echo is_null($o->a) ? "yes\n" : "no\n";
echo is_null($o->b) ? "yes\n" : "no\n";

I expected something like this:

        yes
        no
        no
        yes

But got this:

        no
        no
        no
        yes

It looks like isset() can't handle object properties correctly. I'll
post the bug on php.net.

Hi,

    Is this really a bug. I think not.
    There is no variable $o->a or $a->b in the class OO
there is only the variable $elem and $a and $b is a member
of that array
    So ...
    The fact that PHP5 provides __set and __get magic
functions does not mean that the actual variables exist with
that particular name in the class ?
    Perhaps it would be nice to have a __isset magic function ?

Cheers

Next time, please read my post carefully. $a is not NULL, it is 1.
Therefore, isset($a) should return TRUE, which it does normally, just
not when $a is returned via __get().

catalin: Yes, a __isset() method would be ideal, but i still can't see
why isset() shouldn't support the overloaded variables - after all, if
you are able to access such a variable using the __get() method, why
shouldn't you be able to check whether or not it has been set?
Currently, if you want to check whether a variable in the $elem array is
set, you would have to use this:

$a = $o->a;
echo isset($a) ? "yes\n" : "no\n";

Which in my opinion isn't optimal.

Bottom line - if you can access a variable through property overloading
you should be able to use isset() on them as well.

Yes.... but not :-).

With you use these magic functions, when you write $o->a = 'foo', you
create a property in the object. Not ? Even if it is stored in an array
member, __set() create a property and __get() retrieve its value.

Doc says :

>The $name parameter used is the name of the variable that should
> be set or retrieved.
>The __set() method's $value parameter specifies the value that
> the object should set set the $name.

Conclusion :

class OO
{
    private $elem = array();
    public function __get ($prop)
    {
       if (isset($this->elem[$prop])) {
          return $this->elem[$prop];
    }
    else
    {
       return NULL;
    }

    public function __set ($prop, $val)
    {
       $this->elem[$prop] = $val;
    }
}

$o = new OO();
echo isset($o->a) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; # Must return false and return
false effectively, cool
$o->a = 'foo';
echo isset($o->a) ? "yes\n" : "no\n"; # Must return false and return
false effectively, NOT COOL

        Actually i think no property is created; not in the sense of

    The only "real" property of the object is $elem.
    The $o->a, and $o->b are, IMHO, not object properties;
It is true that one can access $o->a and $o->b, but what is actually

    isset() does test for an "actual" variable beeing set, which is

it would be so easy to fill up an object with values without knowing

    On my part I would stick with the usual declaration of properties and

use __set() and __get().
    I think it's much cleaner to say:

> Bug ?

Not a bug, __get() and __set() are called only if !isset($foo->var).

The purpose of __get and __set is to implement transparent getters and
setters without forcing users to do

function setVal($val)
{
$this->val = $val;
}

function getVal()
{
return $this->val;
}

If you are not sure which properties even exist, you probably shouldn't
be using __get()/__set(), or should refactor so that you can rely upon
certain values existing. If absolutely necessary, you can always provide

function ifexists($name)
{
return isset($this->array[$name]);
}

and then you can if ($o->ifexists('a')) instead of if (isset($o->a))

I personally find the __get() and __set() methods very usefull,
especially when constructing object hierarchies. But, as Frédéric said,
they're not sufficient. Either make isset() work with the __get() method
or add a __isset() magic method.

Ave,

I hear you... Even I feel it's a different problem but I don't know what.
My first thought was that HTML or anything doesn't work after the

it does.

Now I don't know what to do, how to make it work. I can't understand what
exactly is causing the problem.

Thanks though.

try this, after you force download of the file, use:

header("Location: close_window_script.php");

where the only code in that file is something like this:

this is a total workaround, but since its the only thing in the document,
its very possible that it'll work, it won't take any more time to load
either because you're using the header() function to forward, so the user
has to download the same amount of info.

This will *not* work. you can't send a file and close a window in
the same request.

Because BLOB data requires tremendous overhead and cannot usually be
indexed by itself. You are better storing the image somewhere in your
system and then storing a pointer (URL, whatever) to the image.

If you are really keen about chaning +1 to ++ and double quotes to

Dammit... I knew that whole "this method should return TRUE or FALSE" would

Hi,

I have a string like this, read from an html file: ' VALUE="16">'
The value could be any number. I am trying to get that number.

I have this so far, i was hoping someone might tell me how to get that
number:

<?php

  $handle = fopen("page.php", "r");

  fclose($handle);

$result = stristr($buffer, 'NAME="c"');

Im not very good at regex, is there an function that would help me?

If you have that exact string and you want to extract just the number,
then a simple regex to delete all non-numeric characters should
suffice.

Ok, so I don't see ' VALUE="16">' in here anywhere -- I think you need
to be a lot more descriptive about the source content and what exactly
you want to extract, and provide a few examples, so that we can cover
all your bases.

Regular Expressions are _probably_ what you need, but you REALLY need
to provide a decent description and multiple examples of what you want,
otherwise we're just wasting time.

file_get_contents() could be helpful here, too...

No. As I understand it means:

"All php scripts inside '/apache2/htdocs/horde' could access to any file
inside '/'". Which is the same as letting the webmail access any file it
needs in the filesystem.

Since each virtualhost is restricted to its home directory, and webmail
is common for all the virtualhosts (http://<virtualhost>/webmail), I
needed to define a rule in a directory basis to let the webmail system
access more than just the file inside the virtualhost home.

Currently I only want to know the exact meaning of:
open_basedir none

Yes I may use it some day. I was trying to simulate an illegal

Ok, I understand what you mean about the if() statement, as its related
to your previous comment above.
But isn't $compare = $perm_total & $user_perm; needed for this to work?

Your checks are something like
if($user['tom'] & $perm['read']) echo 'Tom can read';

Only the 3rd bit is checked, all others are ignored and won't do any harm.

Anyway, the "clean" way of setting permissions is:
$user['tom'] = $perm['execute'] | $perm['write'] | $perm['read'];

$compare = $perm_total & $user_perm; unsets all bits other than 1, 2 and
4, so 0 =< $compare =< 7. However, your first condition already did this.

Understood. It cant be illegal if its set as you described.

Ok.

So here is the updated code ->

-- start code --
<?php

$perm = $user = array();
$perm_total = 0;

// Permissions from some source like a database/file
$perm['execute'] = 1;
$perm['write'] = 2;
$perm['read'] = 4;

// User permissions (predetermined) from sessions maybe
$user['tom'] = $perm['read'] | $perm['write'] |
$perm['execute']; // rwx
$user['joe'] = $perm['read'] | $perm['execute']; // rx
$user['whats_his_face'] = $perm['read'] | $perm['write']; // rw

// Set the sum of "source" permissions
foreach($perm as $value)
{
$perm_total |= $value;
}

echo "<ul>";

// Loop over the users
foreach($user as $id => $user_perm)
{
// Compare user bits to permission bits
$compare = $perm_total & $user_perm;

// Make it an even 4 bit string (for visual effect)
$bits_string = sprintf("%03d", decbin( $compare ));

echo "<li>User: " . $id . "</li>";

     // Check to see if the comparision contains any permission bits
     $can_read = (($compare & $perm['read']) == $perm['read']) ===
TRUE ? "TRUE" : "FALSE";
     $can_write = (($compare & $perm['write']) == $perm['write']) ===
TRUE ? "TRUE" : "FALSE";
     $can_execute = (($compare & $perm['execute']) == $perm['execute'])
=== TRUE ? "TRUE" : "FALSE";

     echo "<ul>";
     echo "<li>" . $user_perm . ' -> ' . $bits_string . "</li>";
     echo "<li>Can Read: $can_read</li>";
     echo "<li>Can Write: $can_write</li>";
     echo "<li>Can Execute: $can_execute</li>";

echo "</ul>";
}

echo "</ul>";

?>
-- end code --

So if thats it, now its time to expand on this idea on my end...

Hi,

How can I get the URL of the page I am on without the 'www.' i.e. just
mydomain.com? I need to enurse this is correct in case the user types in the

I have looked at using substr but if the user leaves out the 'www.' then
substr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 4) would return 'main.com', is there a better
function to use in this instance?

This should be Apache's job - you can configure the webserver to redirect
requests from example.com to www.example.com without PHP's involvement, if
that's what you're interested in.

preg_match() should get you started.
/(\w+\.\w+)$/ ought to match just the primary domain.

str_replace()

You can replace the www. with an empty string.

Does your Apache provide $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']? For me it outputs the
domain like "google.com".

Server name from Apache is not guaranteed to be sans 'www'. Server name
will return whatever the web server is configured as in the httpd.conf

I was told I need to make sure my mail functions are active. Furthermore I

What is my SMTP server? How do I enable it/make sure its working? If it isn't

Use split to break the file down into parts of manageable size, and then
process those.

split -b nM <filename> (where n is the number of Megs you wish each part
to be).

man split

HTH.

Without knowing more information (eg: Any errors, does the script run
completely, partially, or not at all?) I would say that you could
running into the script execution timeout. Check your php.ini file
for max_execution_time and adjust accordingly.

If you are surpassing max_execution_time then you will notice that the
script runs correctly, but it will not finish parsing all of the data.
If you check the DB, do some of the records show up there?

Hi everyone.

Thanks for advice so far. Going to try that split command (looks
useful). IN the meantime, here is the code:

<?php

include "config.php";

// open database
if (!mysql_connect($config['db']['host'], $config['db']['user'],
$config['db']['password'])) {
die ('Can\' connect to DB!');
}

if (!mysql_select_db($config['db']['dbname'])) {
die ('Can\' work with DB! Try do FLUSH PRIVILEGES.');
}

// clear table
mysql_query('TRUNCATE TABLE '.$config['table_name']);

$pattern = '/^([a-z0-9]+[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]) NS [a-z0-9.-]+$/i';

$handle = fopen($config['parsefile'], 'r');

$count = 0;
while (!feof($handle)) {

        $sql = '';
    $buffer = fgets($handle);

$count++;
if ($count>$config['max_count']) break;

     // parse string
     if (preg_match($pattern, $buffer, $match)) {
        $sql .= '("'.$match[1].'")';
     }

     if ($sql) {
        $sql = 'INSERT IGNORE '.$config['table_name'].' (domain) VALUES
'.$sql;
        echo $sql."<br>";
        mysql_query($sql);
        }

}
fclose($handle);

Any ideas? Works 100% ok on a smaller file

Thanks

Process the file line-by-line instead of all-at-once, using fgets().
Check your max execution time, as William suggests.

Hi all.

Having a problem echoing a broken date. Here's where I'm at:

$DateAdvertisedBroken = explode("-", $DateAdvertised);

later, in a table, I use:

$result[DateAdvertised]

How can I change this so I can call the broken date...?

I've tried datebroken [2] etc but no joy.

So this contains an array of (year, month, day) or something similar? You
should be able to grab the values here if that's the case.

implode(' ', $DateAdvertisedBroken)
or use   if needed.
Or did you mean $DateAdvetisedBroken[2] ?

I've no idea what you're trying to ask here. If you're asking how to access
the individual elements in the array $DateAdvertisedBroken, then

1) Know what you're doing by print_r($DateAdvertisedBroken)
2) Then $DateAdvertisedBroken[n], when 'n' is the element you want.

It's only a minor nuisance, but in order to use __CLASS__ with instanceof I have
to assign __CLASS__ to a variable first. Should I bother submitting a bug
report for this? Or am I perhaps missing something...

<?php

class Test {
   function checkObj2()
   {
     //workaround
     $class = __CLASS__;
     if ($this instanceof $class) {
       return TRUE;
     } else {
       return FALSE;
     }
   }

   function checkObj()
   {
     // this causes a parsing error
     // return ($this instanceof __CLASS__);
   }
}

$t = new Test();

echo $t->checkObj(); // can't even test it

attached mail follows:

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand why you would use instanceof on $this. Try
this code:

<?php

class a1 {
}

class a2 extends a1 {
}

echo new a1 instanceof a1; // true
echo new a2 instanceof a1; // true
?>

instanceof defines whether an object is or descends from a class (like
is_a()).

If you want to check whether $this is the Test class or a descendant
class, the simplest way I know is

if (get_class($this) == 'Test')

otherwise, you could use reflection

$z = new ReflectionClass($this);
if ($z->getName() == 'Test')

but that's a bit more cumbersome.

I've been able to use md5 / md5_file to verify file integrity. However when I
try to check crc32's I'm running into some problems. As an example I download
and extract the PHP package for Windows, then when I try to crc32() the file
contents I get a totally different value from what I think I should be getting.
Obviously I'm missing out on some crucial detail(s) here...

<?php

echo '<pre>';

// This is the extracted install.txt from PHP-5.0.1.Win32.zip
$file = 'C:\Downloads\install.txt';
// crc for the file - got from my unzip utility
echo $crc = 'EEED9D44' . "\n";

// reading all at once - buffer added line by line produced same results
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
printf ("%u\n", crc32($contents));

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post. I am having problems

Win2k Pro/ IIS

I'm baffled by this one after updating to PHP 5.0

I called a php script through a batch file scheduled in 'at'. Worked
beautifully in 4.x.

In 5.0, the batch file goes off, but the php script doesn't execute.
HOWEVER, if I run the batch file manually from the command line or if I run
the php file from the command line, both work! It's driving me crazy.

Thanks for ANY help!

Kind of complicated (so probably not the best way) but I have objects I'm
creating with a factory method - and all of these objects *should* be extending
a parent class. It's in the parent class where I'm using $this instanceof
__CLASS__ and alternatives are welcome. I thought is_a was being deprecated
(correct me if I'm wrong) ?

Yes, it probably makes more sense to do it this way. Reflections would be
overkill, all I need is to test for inheritance.

Between your original post and this one (asking exactly the same thing), did
you manage to fit in some research of your own. Like RTFM, or STFA?

FWIW there was a post very recently which explained pretty much all you needed
to know about configuring PHP so that mail() would function correctly. Find
that post.
