Thanks Mattias,
I should have read my code a bit better -- forgot to set the absolute path for
the directory above docroot.
Works great now!

What's up Rory... actually there *is* a difference. Double quotes are
parsed by the php engine, meaning it goes through and finds variables
and stuff which it can parse, ex. print("Here is a variable:
$variable!"); will print "Here is a variable: The value of the variable!"
Single quotes are not parsed by the php engine, so the same code with
single quotes (print('Here is a variable: $variable!'); will return
"Here is a variable: $variable!" I hope that answeres your question

apart from the visual difference :-)... yes.
with double quotes string interpolation is done. whats that?
run this code to see the difference:
<?php
$varA = 123;
echo ' this is $varA';
echo " this is $varA";
?>
basically use double quotes only when you need it... needing it includes times
when using double quotes saves you having to escape _lots_ of single quotes,
i.e. when it makes code easier to read (JMHO) e.g.:
$str = '\'this\' \'is\' a \'stupidly\' \'quoted\' string';
$str = "'this' 'is' a 'stupidly' 'quoted' string";
---
so now you have at least 2 things to google:
1. string interpolation (+ PHP)
2. string/char escaping (+ PHP)
have fun :-)
attached mail follows:
Double quotes expand variables, that is, if $a = 2, then
echo "The value is $a2";
will print "The value is 2".
Single quotes return strings literally. So, echo 'The value is $a2'
would print The value is $a2

If you want a nice object oriented solution that's easy to use over and
over again which does pretty much the same thing, give this class a whirl.
class page_gen {
//
// PRIVATE - DO NOT MODIFY
//
var $cls_start_time;
var $cls_stop_time;
var $cls_gen_time;
//
// FIGURE OUT THE TIME AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PAGE
//
function start() {
$microstart = explode(' ',microtime());
$this->cls_start_time = $microstart[0] + $microstart[1];
}
//
// FIGURE OUT THE TIME AT THE END OF THE PAGE
//
function stop() {
$microstop = explode(' ',microtime());
$this->cls_stop_time = $microstop[0] + $microstop[1];
}
//
// CALCULATE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BEGINNNG AND THE END AND COLOR
CODE THE RESULT
//
function gen() {
$this->cls_gen_time = round($this->cls_stop_time -
$this->cls_start_time,5);
return $this->cls_gen_time;
}
}
then, on the page you want to time, just put at the top:
require('class.pagegen.php') // OR WHATEVE YOU NAMED IT
$pagegen = new page_gen();
$pagegen->start(); // START TIMING
then at the end...
$pagegen->stop(); // STOP TIMING
$pagegen->gen(); // RETURN GENERATION TIME

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but all I was able to find
was a "bogus" bug report on this issue that did not contain any useful
information. When installing php 4.3.10 on a Win2k3 machine I'm getting
the "The specified procedure could not be found." Error from any php
page I attempt to execute. I don't have any extensions enabled and this
is a completely vanilla install of 4.3.10. Followed the installation
procedure to a tee. It works with 4.3.6 but 4.3.6 has other
show-stopper bugs. It looks like other people are having this problem
as well, though it doesn't appear (at least, not to Google) that anyone
has been able to solve it.
Any information is greatly appreciated, including links to any FAQs that
might be helpful since I haven't found any that contain *any* useful
information on this problem.

Hello,
I want to open files in a directory other than the Document root via
HTTP on the client machine. How do i do it ?
For example I have .JPG files in a directory /toallocate on my Server
running FC2, Apache2, Mysql, PHP5. I allocated certain .JPG files to
some users and moved them to a directory called /allocated and logged
the absolute path in a Mysql Table with the user name. Now we know the
username and the files allocated to him and their path. When the user
logs into his account, he should see the file allocated to him and
they should be clickable links so that when he clicks them they open
in the required software. I tried just providing links to their
absolute path but then it doesnt work because Apache looks for them
relative to the Document Root. Please some one help me in this
concern, I will wait for a quick reply.
Also, Is there a way that I can force the .JPG files to open in a
particular software ?
thanks in advance

Yes, it's possible
Just supose you have the images under /var/images/. This won't be
acceded by apache since it's out of documentroot.
You can set up some alias to /var/images
For example
alias /images/ /var/images/
The problem is, that most servers don't let users access
directories outside the DocumentRoot of the customers VirtualHost.
Also, if you can read that directory, you can create a path images in
your documentroot, and create a .htaccess file like this:
ErrorDocument 404 image.php
In image.php you catch the referrer with $_SERVER['http_referrer'] and
display the image sending the header img/jpeg

No.

Sorry if this has been covered before. I just joined this list.
My host just upgraded PHP to 4.3.10 from 4.1.2. A couple of my clients are
using systems such as PHP-NUKE or various message boards. I hadn't been
paying attention to my log files, but all of a sudden they got huge,
especially the error logs. They're filled mostly with undefined variable
errors, but also a couple others, for example:
[Sun Mar 6 00:35:50 2005] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable:
forum_admin in /home/scott/XXXX.org/html/mainfile.php on line 79
[Sun Mar 6 00:35:51 2005] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in
/home/scott/XXXX.org/html/mainfile.php on line 486
[Sun Mar 6 00:35:51 2005] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined index: 2 in
/home/scott/XXXX.org/html/mainfile.php on line 216
line 79, if ($forum_admin == 1) {
line 486, $uname = $cookie[1];
line 216, $pwd = "$user[2]";
Line 79 is not part of a function or class. It is the first reference to
$forum_admin in the script. The other two are within functions and the
first call within those functions. What's being assigned to both of them
are either in the function call itself or globals.
I do have globals turned on.
Should I worry about any of this? The pages seem to be working fine? Is
this going to slow things down? Should I just turn off the logging of such
errors, if I can?
Thanks for any help. My log files are in the gigabytes with 90% of that
over the last month.

you mean register_globals? Turn it off unless this breaks things in a
major way... even then you should consider recoding if that's feasible.

uninitialized variables + register_globals is usually a bad
combination... especially when we're talking about a varaible like
$forum_admin.
http://XXXX.com/forums/post.php?forum_admin=1&user=whoever
In a simple case the above can happen and someone gains admin rights...
in worse cases you end up with SQL code dropping databases...

ignoring the E_NOTICE errors is a good idea on a production site anyway.
That being said... I would try to fix the code so that the notice
doesn't get produced in the first place.

If you can manage to turn register_globals off that would be the most
important thing. Undefined variables aren't necessarily bad, but they
can lead to obscure bugs (for example, if a variable is set inside of an
included file instead of a main script where you thought it was unset).

this is the part that's causing the problem. u can leave it empty and
let the system put the admin's email id. don't leave it incomplete
though.
i agree that there are logical errors regarding the data he's used,
but that's not why it didn't work.
Robert: u may want to print/echo all the vars for mail() before using
it, helps to debug. check all $POST vars too. this is how i generally
set the headers:
$headers = "From: $fname <$from_email>\n"."Return-Path: $ret"."\n";
i use return path so that bounce messages/delivery failures go to another id.
if u want to add the X-Mailer header:
$headers.= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion()."\n";
(note ^^^ the dot)
if still doesn't work, replace ur \r\n with \n. check manual page for details.
considering that u're possibly mass mailing...

Note: It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable
for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes
an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient.
For the sending of large amounts of email, see the PEAR::Mail, and
PEAR::Mail_Queue packages.

Do you really need this? I.e. is this a linear / quadratic / etc.
fucntion... one where you can start with one known value (Jan. 1 1970)
and build all dates relative to this date instead?
If you just want days since 0 BC / AD you can recreate all of the PHP
date functions yourself... but use a "daystamp" from 0 BC/AD instead of
a "timestamp" from 1970. Or fudge things a little and use 365.25 days
per year...

well, you can simply use the unix timestamp, since the amount of days /
seconds since 0 AD/BC will be a constant (it won't change, trust me),
you can simply add it to that, and add a wrapper function to php's
time(). You'll be working with VERY big numbers in that case, so you can
also do it the other way around; store the amount of DAYS since 0 AD/BC
till Jan 1st 1970, add time()/86400, and you'll have the amount of days
since 0 AD/BC in an integer (or float, depending on how many days that
really are).
You'll just need to find that constant somewhere :)

Hmmmm. Not quite what I'm looking for. I set up some test folders and
files on a development machine to play with your script.
Here's how it was laid out:
The document root for the test site:
"c:\sambar\docs\test"
A subfolder of the doc root
"folder1"
A subfolder of the above folder1
"folder2"
Placing a file called test.php (containing your script) in all three
places (doc root, folder1, folder1/folder2) gives you the following
respectively.
Root: c:\sambar\docs\test\test.php
Document root: c:\sambar\docs\test\test.php
Base: test.php
Include: c:\cambar\docs\test\include
OS: winnt
Include: c:\cambar\docs\test\include;.;C:\php5\pear
Ultimately, this would be the correct folder I would want, but see the
below two tests.
Root: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\test.php
Document root: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\test.php
Base: test.php
Include: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\include
OS: winnt
Include: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\include;.;C:\php5\pear
Root: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\folder2\test.php
Document root: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\folder2\test.php
Base: test.php
Include: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\folder2\include
OS: winnt
Include: c:\sambar\docs\test\folder1\folder2\include;.;C:\php5\pear
I don't see where your script is giving me the include folder I want.
Thanks though.

I'm not sure I'm completely following you. Let's say I had the
following:
Site root"
"c:\apache\htdocs\test"
A subfolder of site root
"folder1"
A subfolder of the above folder1
"folder2"
If I call dirname(__FILE__) from a page in each folder I'll get the
following respectively:
"c:\apache\htdocs\test"
"c:\apache\htdocs\test\folder1"
"c:\apache\htdocs\test\folder1\folder2"
I don't see where that tells me where the include folder would be.

Try running this one:

$file_name = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
echo "File name: $file_name<br>";
$script = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
echo "Script: $script<br>";

If you know how the files are layed out in your application, you do.

No... You missed the point of this whole thread which was explained in
point 1 and point 2 of the "Problem" section.
Restated in different words is how do you write some code which is
dynamic enough to withstand reorganization of folders either on the
same host, a different host (maybe with a different OS too), or a
mixture of any.
In HTML, a css declaration as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Site CSS" href="includes/site.css" />
works regardless of where the page is, where it's moved to, and
regardless of how many folders down it is as long as there is indeed a
folder off the site root called "includes" and as long as there is a
file in that folder called "site.css".
How do we mimic that capability in PHP so pages don't have to be
re-written if point 1 or point 2 of the "Problem" are met?

Leif Gregory

Can't be too hard to calculate it:
1970 * 365 + 1 day for each leap year. Note the rules for leap year, of

I wish it was so simple. Because the dates that may need calculating can be
before 1970.
THis function I have.. and it's semi-working, but I've noticed

Sorry for that all my friends, I just came from a vocation during the
weekend, so I can't read your threads. Thanks for all your help.
The debug_backtrace() is powerful to debug, but when I construct my classes
with simpleTest or other opensource applications, it contains lots of info
that I don't concern on in my application. So I decide to write or find
something a little bit simpler.
I just want to trace my application with the debughelper, when I want to see
what happened in it. Then I can get sth like this:
2005-03-07 11:41:15.355297 soapclient: SOAP message length: 455 contents
2005-03-07 11:41:15.355583 soapclient: transporting via HTTP
2005-03-07 11:41:15.356393 soapclient: sending message, length: 455
2005-03-07 11:41:15.355823 soap_transport_http: scheme = http
2005-03-07 11:41:15.355961 soap_transport_http: host = 172.24.107.244
2005-03-07 11:41:15.356092 soap_transport_http: path =
/BSSRemoteWebService/CustomerService.asmx
The style is $this->getMicroTime().' '.get_class($this).": $string \n<br>";
When I inheritlize my new class from debughelper.
Well, I use php4. Sorry I forgot to declare it. If I use v5, exception is a
good choice.

Yang Shiqi

I have given up on this thread - the logic is all of a sudden lost on me!
I think we gave Yang some good stuff to chew on - last I read he was going
to
dig into exceptions! :-)
hey Yang, if you get stuck with Exceptions somewhere please post to a new
