Same here - but since I only use the newsgroup interface I suspect
something is wrong ;)

I did email my host and -owner for this list about it...
Not promising that will produce any action on either end.
While it seems to affect a lot of us, it doesn't seem to actually HURT
anything much, other than one more email to delete every few weeks.

Everyone, eh. You must not be on many lists. I don't have any
problems with bugtraq or any of the other ezmlm lists I'm on.
php-general is the only one I've seen sending me ezmlm-warnings.
This sounds more like the php guys don't have their concurencyremote
set (it defaults to 120) or some other issue. I'm sure if the list
admin will ask on the ezmlm list someone would be glad to help them
get their setup tuned correctly.

In opposing the Federalists, [Jefferson] ushered in a
kind of sustained partisan activity that had never existed
before. Initially called the Republican party, it became known
in the era of Andrew Jackson as simply the Democracy;
later on, it was called the Democratic party. But even the modern
Republican party, formed in 1854, chose its name in part to honor
Jefferson. -- Joyce Appleby on Jefferson

You can build the RPM from the source....
rpmbuild -ta php-5.0.3xxx.tar.gz
It will put the RPM somewhere like /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/

It's been a long time since I've done it this way, but I think it's
something like this (I'm sure someone on the list will correct my
errors)....
Download and extract the source.
CD to the source directory...
>$ ./configure --add-your-options
>$ cd ..
>$ tar -cf php-5.0.3xx.tar php-5.0.3xx/
>$ rpmbuild -ta php-5.03xx.tar
Untested, but I think that's the steps. You can also try 'make rpm'
after you configure the source. I seem to remember something along
those lines.
Course, if you're going to go thru all that trouble, you could just
build it all from source, and bypass the whole RPM process. ;)

Jochem and everyone,
Thanks, this solved the problem.
Regarding someone's much appreciated comment:
<snip>[this]...allows any user to simply change the value of "r" to
something more to
their liking. given the reset of the code that you included in your
first message, who knows what nice holes they'll find in your code when
they do that. depending on where you go with this, they could end up
with information for/about another user, a nice sql injection on your
database, the ability to hack your system, or something else equally
amusing.</snip>
I agree, and actually had thought of it. I appreciate your reminding
me. Because I am new enough that I still find a magical thrill every
time I pull *anything* from the database, I have been approaching this
from this point of view:
1. Make db
2. Try to get page to connect
3. Try to print what I want by setting the variable $r so I can point
to it
4. Fix it so that if someone asks for anything other than an existent
?r=x it kicks back a webpage which just shows links to existing pages.
Which brings me to the next question, which I'll post in a second!
Thanks again everyone!

Hi,
This:
if (isset($_GET['r']) &&
!empty($_GET['r']) &&
($r = intval($_GET['r'])) ){
$r = "{$_GET['r']}"; //Set the variable $r to mean the category number
$fields = '*';
$sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort";
} else {
$where = '';
$fields =
'cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,
jobcat.category';
$sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort";
}
//Make the sql based on the joining of the table and intersection table
$sql = "
SELECT
cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat
.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id";
Works whenever there is an ?r= specified. When there is no r specified
it chokes on
WHERE cvjobcats.cv_id=cv.cv_id AND cvjobcats.jobcat_id = $r AND
jobcat.jobcat_id=cvjobcats.jobcat_id";
because there's no value to $r.
it also opens me up to allowing anyone to state *anything* after the ?.
So can I make an else statement which will say that if there's no r= or
a wrong r= or even no ? at all then it should print a menu to $r's
which actually exist in the database? How?
Thanks in advance!!!

You have 3 conditions in a single expression. Split that expression up
into multiple expressions, so you can check each (or a combination of 2)
individually.
so, instead of:
if (isset($_GET['r']) && !empty($_GET['r']) && ($r = intval($_GET['r']))){
do:
if (isset($_GET['r'])) {
if(!empty($_GET['r']) && ($r = intval($_GET['r']))){
// do whatever
} else {
// something boring
}
} else {
// not set
}

for starters WTF is the preceding statement for???
$r is already set if it exists by the expression in the if statement...
($r = intval($_GET['r'])

> $sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort";

this else block will fire if $r is invalid or not set.
that means this is where you should write some code that
either redirects to the 'list' page or outputs a list somehow.

you already have one - its just that your abusing it to set some completely pointless

that leaves him completely open to SQL injection.
but your right in that writing this:
$r = "{$_GET['r']}";
... is just plain wasteful, pointless and looks ugly.
and given the fact that $r is already set (see above) there is
no need to set it again at all.

Jackson got that bit from me - I don't think he is fully aware of what that
expression is doing!
the 'sum' of those conditions determines that either $r is 'good' or 'bad'
(whether $r is garbage or not set didn't seem like a difference worth bothering
with)

this is a good idea to better understand what is going on!

Okay, guys,
I hope I'm getting closer with your help here but I am still highly
confused (that's actually a general blanket statement these days).
I've taken your advice and made several changes,

No, I didn't and I actually still don't. I've implemented the change
below, breaking up the if(isset)$_GET['r']) bit (making it easier to
follow indeed, thank you!) but I am confused as to how to break that
three-condition statement split based on that change.

The code below is where I am now. I'm trying to document a bit better,

$sort = "ORDER BY cv.sort"; // Assemble the category items in
r=x
} else {
// Is this where I'd say IF no $r is set then redirect?
}
}
//Make the sql based on the joining of the table and intersection table
$sql = "
SELECT
cv.cv_id,cv.category,dates,cv.job_title,cv.company,cv.job,cv.sort,jobcat
.category
FROM cv, cvjobcats, jobcat
$where
$sort
";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$cv = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$table_of_contents = array();
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " .
mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
exit;
}
</snip>
Thanks in advance!!

ok, so the solution is shm or shmop, but there is something I'm not
sure about it...
the way I wanna go is shm and sem and the things that are clear are:
- use sem to block multiple processes(or threads) writing to the same shm block
- there is no need to use sem for reading since multiple
processes(threads) can read safely from the same shm block
what is not that clear is... what happens when a process reads and
another writes exactly at the same time? do the read operations behave
like some sort of transactions that ensure you get the content
available in the shm block at the beginning of the read even when it
is changed during the read? I guess this is not the case, so how would
you handle this properly?

I agree but thats not a reason to write to this list with that crap, I
replied to him with two words...the first word started with a F and was four
letters, the second was a three letter word :-)
I also agree with the bloke about boycotting that site and I vote we also
write "bad things" about that site on all the websites we control :-D
As for the spam part, writing one email to a person I think cannot be called
spam...but I think this falls into spam as he wrote to the list which spills
out to many many people....its as good as if he copied all the addresses
from the list and used a mass mailer to mail the message/crap/spam to all of
us individually

Hi,
some applications like Horde require special build options, eg.
--with-apache or: --with-apxs
--with-gettext
--with-mysql
--with-mcrypt
--with-iconv --enable-mbstring --with-mbstring=all
--with-gd
I don't want to setup my own build environment at the moment because I dont
have the tools available now. I downloaded the PHP 5.0.3 Windows Binaries
and want to know what options these Binaries were build with. How can I find
out this? With phpinfo I didn't find this information.
Thanks for any help.
attached mail follows:
I'm not 100% sure what options are used in the Windows build by default,
but for windows everything is wrapped up into extensions. You need
mysql, you enable the appropriate mysql .dll. You need Apache, you use
the appropriate apache .dll. And all of that is controlled through
php's ini and/or the apache conf file.
Now if you *really* want to build PHP on Windows you can get a free
(GPL) compiler. Just go download cygwin and use gcc.

phpinfo() lists the paramters used to compile PHP, so they *should* be
there, even under Windows, I think.
If not, do this:
php -i | grep GD
Either you see GD, or it ain't in there.
That said, under Windows, you just uncomment the php_gd.dll line in
php.ini and you're done.

javascript is a scripting language, there is no theoretical reason that it can't be used as a serverside
scripting language, but the fact that practically nobody in the real does says something :-). anyway
its not strictly correct to say javascript is 'clientside'.
as for calling a javascript function directly from php code, forget about it.

1 round trip:
1. a (php) webserver gets a request for a page.
2. the server runs the requested (php) script.
3. the server sending some output to the browser.
4. the browser interprets the output.
the output is generally a webpage - this can include
<script> tags that contain/include javascript. when the
page is parsed and rendered by the browser the javascript you
included will be run.

Since a few hours (without changing anything for the last days) PHP

I have no idea where to start searching for the problem as the logs

mysql is an extension but session_start is core I believe - very odd
that session_start() is not defined.

I've found where the problem came from: I was using PHP 4.3.9 (sorry for
misinformation in the first mail) but it was overwritten by a suse

I have removed 4.3.4 via Yast and want to compile 4.3.10 now.
./configure and make test work fine, but when I use 'make', it only
shows a few lines and doesn't install successfull:

Aye.. it's nearest day, and according to calculations should have repeatable
results. So what is date X today should also be it tomorrow (after the
calculations of course). That's what i've noticed so far. when I add a date
and convert it and then convert it back it is a different date.

It's mostly the past. The RPG is set in Egypt and the beginning of the
society in egypt has been taken as year 0. The start date I think is
obvious, but I do not understand an end date of a calendar.. Perhaps I'm
just blond.. but could you perhaps explain that one?

why is OBC relevant, I read later on that you take the start of egyptian
civilization as zero. is that not much earlier.

+1 on using a DB to calculate and format dates on this one :-)
I'm guessing Kevins probably written an SQL statement before and he's
already proved he can RTFPM (P for PHP)

It comes down to the amount of information that you can store in memory.
Consider: my start date is 6000 BC. And I believe that the universe
will end around, say, 320 Quadrillion AD. And I want accuracy in my
calendar (that is I can convert time) to the nearest second. Good luck
finding a computer that can easily handle that! Heck, good luck even
trying to store all of the seconds of the calendar as bytes on the computer!
This problem is related to the Y2K "bug". Back when hard drive storage
/ memory was more expensive they needed to find ways to express more
information with less technology. So they traded accuracy for
efficiency and dates were stored with two digits in each year. It was
ok though because the expected life of the program wasn't supposed to be
beyond 2000.
So getting back to *this* problem... what exactly is the relevant span
of time? Will game time in the RPG extend for thousands of years?
Hundreds of thousands? Would it really be ancient Egypt once you make
it past 0 BC?
So decide on an upper limit for the game calendar. And decide the
accuracy you need (nearest day, etc.) and then you can create functions
that will do the necessary date conversions. It can be in PHP or in the
DB itself... but that's the next step in the decision process. :)

egypt is pre 0BC, even Discovery Channel admits that :-)

You'll be way better off finding an existing calendar that "fits" your

Here's your IDEAL calendar:
Your start date is 0 BC.
So let's make that be represented by: 0
Day 1 is, errr, December 26, 0 BC, represented by: 1
Day 2, December 27, 0 BC, represented by: 3
.
.
.
You can now calculate what's 2 billion+ (0xFFFFFFFF to be precise) days
later, and that would be the last date you could conveniently represent in
a 32-bit integer.
Do you expect the characters/events in your RPG to extend beyond 2 billion
days from December 25, 0 BC?
If so, then a 32-bit integer, one integer per day, simply won't cut it.
If not, then the above is an "ideal" date system.
Now, that was your "ideal" system. Find a system that comes close to that.
http://mysql.com
http://postgresql.org
PS Historians are ready to shoot me for using 12/25/0000 as 0 BC, but
that's their problem, not mine. It's an RPG. We're not looking for
historical accuracy here!

You may be stuck with:
<?php
$uid = posix_getuid();
exec("groups $uid", $output, $error);
if ($error) echo "OS Error: $error<br />\n";
echo implode("<br />", $output);

You'd want to do more than just echo the output, of course.

Hi all,
I'm looking to validate a date submitted through a

At the moment I'm torn between using a regex,
something like: 20[\d][\d]-[0-1][\d]-[0-3][\d]
or using the checkdate() function.
Does anyone have any pros and/or cons to implement one

Better use checkdate, since it checks if the date really exists (not
just well formatted).
Mabye do something like this:
list($check_year,$check_month,$check_day) = explode("-",$date);
if (checkdate($check_month,$check_day,$check_year))
echo "Date is valid";
else
echo "Date is not valid";

I cannot change the error_log() params, since it is cored in extern lib
I use.
Is there a way to prevent the default error_log() from being outputed?

Try....
error_log ( "My error message" );
Don't know if it will work, but it's worth a shot.

Checked. That's not working, since the operator prevents logging of
errors/warnings/notices that caused by the expression following, but
doesn't prevent from the expression to be executed.
Besides, I can't change the syntax of the error_log which is used with
defaults: error_log(MSG);

Basically, I cannot change the line of the error_log() since it used in
extern lib. I can only add lines before the include (that calls it) to
prevent this, or call php with some other params (on the first exec line
#!/usr/...), but nothing helps so far for this situation.

"the log file"...
*WHAT* log file?
A shell script has no pre-determined log file, really.
Actually, it's almost for sure STDOUT at that point, or maybe STDOUT, but
I doubt it. If you were coding PHP engine and needed to send error output
somewhere under shell circumstances, you'd think STDOUT would be "it"
right?...
So you can probably re-direct 2 (STDOUT) to somewhere to get the error_log
output where you want it.
I think in most shells that turns into:
test.php 2> /var/log/test
YMMV
It's up to you to figure out re-directs in your shell of choice. Good luck.
You should probably use can use set_error_handler to trap errors -- though
that will not catch error_log output, I don't think.
You can also use set_error_reporting() to get rid of errors entirely,
though that's not recommended.

I don't really need it to log into a file, but I wanted to prevent it
from echoing to the screen.
So I guess there's no way to prevent from error_log() (using defaults)
to echo to the screen (STDOUT).
error_reporting() affects on errors produced by PHP itself. I tried to
set it to 0 before the call, but it didn't help.
set_error_handler() affects on trigger_error() and not on error_log().
It seems that the extern lib I use should use trigger_error() (or
user_error()) function instead, which is the traditional way to report
user-defined errors.
Thanks for your help all...

You might even be able to put 2> /dev/null at the end of your #! line...
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q 2> /dev/null
But I dunno if that's gonna work...

An awful lot of scriptes use die() and error_log() when they should be
using trigger_error()...

die must die. :-)

That is a safe assumption. The dev team has been working on the 5.1.0
release for some time now and I guess the documentation team got to this
one early. And no, they do not exist in your current version (5.0.3).

I would use the same page. Have the page determine whether or not the
page is being used to add an entry or to edit an entry. Then act
accordingly.

Without some code my response is going to be sarcastic.

<?php
echo "<input type=\"text\" value=\"$yourVariable\" />\n";

I always go for the "one form" system, because otherwise you have double
the work to do (opening two files) every little change, and invariably one
of the forms drifts out of sync when (not if, when) you forget to change
the other form and...
Assigning data to the form mostly consists of using the VALUE= attribute
in HTML tags, except TEXTAREA where it goes between opening/closing tag.
Basic logic flow:
<?php
if (...){ //Detect some indicator that you want a "new_record&qu
