Hi

I am running a LAMP setup consisting of Debian (testing), PHP4, Apache2, and
MySQL 4.

When I installed php, I used apt-get, and included in the list of modules
was libapache2_mod_php4 php4 php4-ldap ...

PHP works fine, and a test phpinfo() brings up all of the expected
parameters (at least I think it does).

The one thing that doesn't work is ldap. I have enabled the ldap modules -
a2enmod ldap - and this doesn't throw an error, it just prompts for the
apache restart which in turn restarts fine.

BUT if I run a very simple ldap_connect (see script) I get this error;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect()
in /www/stevedev/vhtdocs/ldap/index.php on line 27

So it appears that the ldap hasn't got itself running with php.

The very simple test script I used was;

$ds = ldap_connect('ldap.<our server>.net');
if ($ds) {
    ldap_bind($ds);
    echo 'connected';
} else {
    echo 'not connected';
}

Has any one got any ideas of why this error get thrown?

Regards
Steve

Hi,

I'm using FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org/) to create a... PDF.

I'm trying to use a variable inside an instruction, but i'm getting
errors or malformed PDFs and i can't figure how to overcome them.

This instruction

$pdf->Cell(60,10,'Powered by FPDF.',0,1,'C');

inserts a line in the PDF, starting in coordinates 60,10 of the sheet,
without border (0), breaking to the next line (1) and centered (C).

Now, i want to use this with a variable:

$pdf->Cell(40,10,'CV de ' . $full_name . ',' . 0,0 . ',C');

The problem here is that the part ,0,1, is not stringed, while C is.
So, what i get in the PDF is

Curriculum Vitae de Mário Gamito,0,0,C
(Mário Gamito == $full_name)

So, how to "unparse" the ,0,1, in the middle of the instruction ?

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

If I break down this argument to a simpler form, you are using:

$pdf->Cell(40,10,'CV de Mario Gamito,0,0,C');

You aren't supplying the last 3 arguments! What I *think* you're going
for instead here is:

$pdf->Cell(40,10,"CV de $full_name",0,1,'C');

Just don't include it as part of the string argument at all (the 3rd
argument). Currently it looks like the 0,1 in the middle of the
instruction is just text that you are inserting into that cell location.

First of all thanks for asking this question because I was in need of building PDFs and lo and behold FPDF works great so far!

I haven't messed around with this package at all yet (I am currently going through the tutorials) but what I notice is that your quotes are messed up (I think).

Notice that in the first example it is: ,0,1,'C');

Your example is: 0,0 . ',C');

I think it should be: 0,0,'C');

So I would write your line as:

$pdf->Cell(40,10,"CV de $full_name ",0,0,'C');

HTH,
Chris.

So turn off error reporting for those levels:

    error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE);

That means you are using PHP5, so you can use second argument to
set_error_handler()

$string = '4:gaming,5:hardware,3:software,8:security';

what is the best way to explode then loop this string after its taken apart.

output should be something like:

$id = 4
$cat = gaming

etc..

im just looking for the best/fastest way to do this. the string can grow to
200 or so bytes, maybe more.

should i list(), while(), explode it, or should i explode it and foreach it?
or..?

thanks.

while is faster than foreach. check the iterator section in SPL for details.

Obscuring access to information is not a safe security policy, it just makes

real gain.

If you have lousy security, you can have it in MySql or in your directories.

(this post has been made to php-install aswell)

Hi Everyone. I'm having a little problem here. Was wondering if
anyone else had encountered this. Currently I'm building PHP 5.0.4
(issue is with .3 aswell) and it's being built on a RHES 3 update 3
machine.

The following freetype rpm's come installed on this deployment:

freetype-2.1.4-4.0
freetype-devel-2.1.4-4.0

I can not get freetype to work with PHP unless i download the source,
./configure; make; make install ... was wondering what the differences
would be between the RPM's noted above and a simple install. (The
configure is located below)

  imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, "ARIAL.TTF",
  "Testing... Omega: &amp;#937;");

When I compile my own freetype and install, and compile php against
it, the above works. When I don't, the above does not work. I would
really love to get this working with the supplied RHES RPM's. If
anyone has any idea I sure would be interested!

Thanks

Oops. Silly Gmail hotkeys.

What are you guys using instead of mysql_result() when using MySQL 4.1
and the 'improved' MySQL functions? mysql_result() went away and the
next best thing I can find is mysqli_fetch_array() with a little
iteration. Thoughts?

It's because the session is managed through cookies and they don't expire
until the next load.

You can:

1. Set the expiration time to time in the past using
session_set_cookie_params();
2. Stop the cookies and use GET method.

*Note* You don't need to use session_register() if you use $_SESSION.
In fact this probably isn't even doing what you think it is. Using
$_SESSION indexes is the preferred way to go about using sessions.

The __destructor() method is supposed to be about killing the class
(Request). It's probably bad practice to be changing $_SESSION vars
inside of there even if that $_SESSION var affects your class. Here,
read this page and maybe it will make more sense to you:

http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php

Heck, look at the user contributed notes since one of them will directly
affect this idea of yours.

If the reference count for $req is greater than 0 (i.e. there is a
Singleton) then __destruct won't be called. And why should it be
called? Because, again, __destruct is for cleaning up the class while
the object is getting destroyed.

attached mail follows:

I have searched for this in the FAQ's, News Archives and Googled for it
and cannot seem to find the answer. Please help.

I have a script that simply echo's a query string variable to the
screen. This works on a previously configured linux box with PHP4.0, but
not on a newly created Windows 2003 box with PHP5.0.

Here is the URL sample:

http://www.blahblahblah.com/hello.php?pg=1

Here is the page sample:

<?

  echo $pg;

?>

On the Windows box, I get "Undefined variable".

I suspect that something in my php.ini is not set correctly to allow
this but I cannot find what that is.

Now, I realize that I should probably NOT be using the variable directly
but rather initializing it via _GET or by some other method because
using it directly makes the code nearly impossible to read. But, I am
trying to convert some existing code not written by me that runs on this
Linux box to a Windows machine and whoever wrote this made RAMPANT use
of this method of accessing query string parameters. Thus, I am stuck
having to get this to work until I can find about 50,000 hours to conver
all of the code.

Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated.

Should have checked the manual.

$10 will get you $20 that register_globals is OFF.

No doubt a lesson is contained herewith...if you are working on a
windows machine now, grab yourself a free copy of Textpad from Helios
(google for it) and use their wonderful search and replace function -
you'll get it done sooner than you think - honest!

How would a search and replace tool know which variables to
replace/change/convert or not?

It turns out it's easier than I was expecting. No voodoo! I got my
CueCat (usb version) today, plugged it in (on Linux, haven't tried
Windows yet) and scanned a barcode I generated. I tried it at the
console. It type out the correct part number and sent a carriage
return!

I'm using a script to generate the barcodes (3 of 9 or Code39):
http://www.sid6581.net/cs/php-scripts/barcode/

Just foreach through an array of part #'s

foreach($array AS $val)
    echo "<img src=\"barcode.php?barcode=$val\">\n"; //see barcode.php
for other GET options

There are plenty of other barcode classes and phpclasses.org, but this
does what I want. Barcoding doesn't seem quite the mystery I thought
it would be.

Thanks,
Mike

The sample on the website will display image to small for 16
characters. There is an options to adjust the widthXheight of the
generated image to display more I found the longest part number we had
and based my image width on that (+5). There are other options
(phpclasses, hotscripts), but this works for now. I may evaluate some
other options as I get into it.

you don't really need to use the ming lib for
something like this---there are a couple different
ways to do this, depending on which version of flash
you're using:

Flash5---use loadvariables...check documentation

FlashMX--use the loadVars object---check out
http://actionscript-toolbox.com/index.php for more
info on this

another (much simpler) way that i believe works for
both versions is to pass the data along via parameters
in the embed/object tag---specifically the URL
param---

That's a relay error. It's actually a good thing. If your server is
setup to allow sending email without logging in, that's generally
called an open relay. That's where spam comes from. You can configure
your mail server to allow relaying from only the local machine. Then
you wouldn't have to login before sending mail. But you should only do
that if you really know how to configure your server. And if you really
know how to configure your server, you probably wouldn't do that.
You should look into another PHP mail function, like the PHPMailer
class library. This will allow you to authenticate with the mail server
before sending email. Then you won't have to create an open relay.

Hi there..

I´m using Apace 1.3.31 and PHP 4.3.8 in a Windows 2000 enviroment.

I´ll have to migrate the whole site to Windows 2003 enviroment, using IIS 6.0..
Should there be any problem about that, or not?

I mean, should it all go fine, or is it possible for the code to fail in some
parts?
Just in case you need to know, I´m using "register globals" on, and I´m also
using some Pear functions (Excel_Spreadsheet).

The people I´ve asked about this yet, have told me that it should go fine as
long as I keep the same PHP version.
(I should install PHP in the IIS, configure it to recognize the php files, and
then copy the php files)

Thank you all!
Pablo
