if I refresh the page the error goes away.... and if I shut off the
output buffering the error never occurs....
I am running PHP 4.3.10 on our server... could it be a problem that
exsisted in this version
Thanks for your help!

Do you mean that you have a page like this, for example:
1.php
<?php
$variable=85;
if( $variable>85 ){
do things;
}
?>
And you wish to permanently change the value of $variable to 86?
You could use file rewriting functions to do this. Look in the manual for
fputs, fread, fwrite and their friends.
If you wish to change the value temporarily for a single user visit
(session), use a session variable to store it. If you wish to change it for
a period of time, then perhaps consider using a class to retrieve the
variable.

If I were you I'd have a file just to define those kind of values (ie.

Hi,
I've had a similar problem. The download always stopped at exactly 2.000.000 bytes.
You have to work around that with:
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
if($fp) {
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fread($fp, 1024768);//see the huge buffer to read into
}
} else {
//whatever error handler
}

Catalin,
Wow, that worked great, thanks.
I'm curious why you set a static buffer of 1024768... why not just do
filesize($file), as shown at http://www.php.net/fread ? Is it better
for memory usage to have a potentially smaller buffer? Also, you may
want an fclose($fp) after the file has been downloaded.
So is this a bug in PHP 5 or are they just purposely limiting the
abilities of the "readfile" command?

Hi,
Indeed a fclose($fp) is needed (wrote it as an example :)).
1MB is more than enough as a buffer. If you have a 53MB file,
what will happen then ?
I have no idea if it's a bug or a feature. Either way I did lose
some hair over this when I switched from PHP4 to PHP5.

Just for your information there was a topic on this a few months ago.
It definately wasn't intentional - Rasmus didn't know about it until then.

Attach is the first 85 line of the moodle install
script.What I would like to know is, if I put
some code like this after the use of $CFG->
$default_classes = get_declared_classes ();
print "<br>" . "THE BEGINNING = ";
foreach ($default_classes as $class_name)
print 'the class is ==' . $class_name . '<br />';
shouldn't I see the class that $CFG was instantiated
from?
Thanks.

Okay, I got a reply from a moodle user pointing
me to an archive, apparently someone had the same
question. The answer seems to be that $CFG is
an array dressed up as an object.The books that
I'm learning from don't show this concept. Could
some kind soul give an example.

http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.object.php
When you use the uninitialised $CFG as an object, an object of class
stdClass is created. You can then assign and read stuff to and from its
properties, basically like you said, as an "array dressed up as an object".
There's no real reason for doing this although it may be a hack because
some of the required files in that script may expect a $CFG object to exist.

I have one other question that I would like answered.
One of the respondents in the archive file to the
above question said that "in PHP objects don't
have to be explicitly instantiated", could someone
point me to some docs that explains this.The person
never did give an explanation.

The post I just sent to the list regarding your earlier question
explains this. If you do not instantiate an object before using it, it
is automatically instantiated as an object of the stdClass class. You
can then add and read attributes, like an "array dressed up as an object."

We are using PEAR as our database abstraction layer for connectivity to
MSSQL. It seems that, for some inexplicable reason, that our code is
losing it's connection to the sql server.
We have a section of our site where users can come in and fill out a
form
to get an insurance quote. Once the form is submitted, there is quite a
lot of back end database processing, both read and write, which is
happening
against the same set of tables for every submission. If just a few
people
access the site at the same time and submit the form concurrently,
things
are alright. But once more people start doing so, it seems to cause the
sql server to hang. In the middle of the process, one of the users will
run
a query which causes a problem (and it's not the same every time) and
in the middle of the process for the other users, when it goes to try to
connect to the database again (via one of the class' that are getting
instantiated and executed as part of the overall process), PEAR returns
an error saying there is no database selected. The DSN has the correct
data and it works when there are fewer users, but for some reason it
says
that the db has not been selected.
So it seems that the cause of that error is in the connect method of the
mssql class. We are using persistent connections but for some reason
when it goes to try to execute the mssql_pconnect it seems as if the
connection PHP has to MSSQL has been severed? But whatever has
happened, the only resolution to the problem is restarting apache. As
soon as we restart apache, everything starts working again (for the most
part). Though, if multiple users go in again and submit the form, PEAR
returns that same error (no database selected), the system then hangs
and an apache restart is again required.
I've gone through all of our code and for the life of me I cannot figure
out
what might be causing the connection to sever in such a way. As far as
I can tell, we aren't leaving any open transactions (though, the
symptoms
seem to indicate that may be the root cause?) and we really aren't doing
anything funky with regards to the queries we are running against the
database
(other than the sheer number of queries - the application requires
*alot*
of database processing). So I'm wondering if anyone else has run up
against a problem similar to this.
We've run this test against 3 different servers and the exact same thing
(as described above) happens on all 3.

Subject: Re: [PHP] PEAR and MSSQL
Without wading through all the code and queries it might be difficult to give you an exact answer, but maybe some of us can point out a 'gotcha' or two that you can check.
One that jumps to mind that I had issues with using ADODB (abstraction layer), and it was mostly with speed but I could see it causing other issues, is connecting and disconnecting from the database too much.
Here's some pseudo code:
Bad -
foreach $insertlist as $insertdata {
dbconnect();
dbinsert($insertdata);
dbdisconnect();
}
Good -
dbconnect();
foreach $insertlist as $insertdata {
dbinsert($insertdata);
}
dbdisconnect();
I was doing it inadvertantly because of the way I had things structured and my use of includes and such. Once I figured out that was causing a LOT of slowdown, I was able to do just one connect and disconnect in a script with lots of insert, update, select, etc statements in the middle.
It's possible for a database to reach max # connections and such. If you have a lot of people hammering at a system at once, you may not be closing the connection properly and/or creating too many connections. SQL Server should handle a lot, but even it has it's limits.
A random factoid about SQL Server.. and I don't remember the specifics, but if you use IDENTITY (?) to grab the last inserted ID, you'll get the last inserted ID for any user, not just the the current user who just did an insert. I believe you use INDENTITY (double sign) to specify the current user's last insert.
Some of our developers at my last job had an issue with hitting the wrong ID (on a trigger I believe it was) and causing a mess. I could see where something like that could cause a script to go nuts. Just a (probably unrelated) 'gotcha' when it comes to SQL Server.
I'm sure someone else has some snakebites they can share :)

I've had similar problems in the past, only in my situation it was connecting from a
Linux machine to MSSQL via FreeTDS. However, from your description it seems like
our problems MIGHT have the same root cause. I would suggest that you try the
following:
(1) Disable persistent connections. This is just my own personal experience, but
I've never been able to get PHP's persistent connection mechanism to work reliably,
at least with MSSQL. My experience is that it causes intermittent problems which
all seem to indicate that the connections eventually become unreliable or unusable,
and the persistent connection code doesn't seem to be able to recover from this
situation gracefully. At least with normal connections you don't have to worry
about a problem with one request persisting to the next.
(2) MSSQL Server seems to have a problem with applications that open many
connections in rapid succession. Disabling persistent connections will exacerbate
this problem, as a connection will be opened for each request. It seems these
problems are caused, at least in part, by SQL server limiting the number of incoming
connections it will queue up. This behavior can be controlled by adjusting MSSQL's
WinsockListenBacklog setting. The default setting is 5, which means that the server
will queue up a maximum of 5 incoming connections. The server will then reset any
new connections that come in as long as the queue is full. In my situation, I
adjusted this value to 10, and this had a HUGE affect. We still have problems from
time to time, but now they are very rare and they could probably be eliminated
completely by adjusting this number even higher, I just haven't gotten around to
doing that yet.
For more information on how to adjust the WinsockListenBacklog setting, see these MS
knowledgebase articles:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=328476
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/154628/EN-US/
The following PHP bug reports seem to be related to this:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19541
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29074
Try disabling persistent connections and adjusting the WinsockListenBacklog to 10
and see what results you get.

Looks OK-ish - there's a missing '{' on the third line but apart from

You can simplify the if-block as below, which might save you as much
as a microsecond or two :-)
function countNested($array){
$total = 0;
foreach ($array as $value) {
$total += is_array($value) ? $this->countNested($value) : 1;

Does anyone here remember that on php 3 the file extensions were
.php3? That made moving to php4 easy- files ending in .php3 was parsed
as 3, and files ending in .php were parsed as 4. Why not do something
similar when moving to 5 or 6?

-------------------------------------------
Hello
I am using PHP v5 to write an intranet. The site is hosted on a windows 2000
server running Apache. I want to incorporate some form of Windows
authentication to allow or deny access to given resources based on usernames
and group membership.
I am trying to accomplish this using LDAP. I am able to connect and bind to
our Active Directory server (also Windows 2000) from PHP, but when I want to
perform a search, I need to know what the base record is. This is in the
format o=my company, c=the country it is in.
This is where the problem lies. How do I find out this information? Is there
some facility in Active Directory that allows me to see what the actual
name-values are for all the records (like sn=rees)?
The line of code causing the problem is this: $ds is a bound connection to
the LDAP server
$sr=ldap_search($ds, "o=company name, c=uk", "sn=g*");
It returns "Operations error"
Thanks in advance

stick this in a auto_prepend_file (or at the top of a global include:

probably the php.ini you are editing is not the same as the file php is using

This was submitted through a simple web contact form with a message,
subject, and body form fields. The hakor submitted the above as the
body of the message 3-4 times than seemed to give up (although he did
send a few obnoxious threats). I don't believe this did anything
because
1) I never got a bounce message from the made-up address he attempted
to send to ("wmlhlkgyre.org")
2) I believe that since the mail function already sent out the
headers, any subsequent "headers" would just be ignored. Or they would
be treated as text since they occurred in the message portion and not
parsed literally.
Not sure that there is any risk here, but I'm shrouding my contact
script (changing the form variables and script name to something less
obvious) just in case.

I tend to agree on things like this. If it's a generic problem then I
think it does everyone some good to discuss it in the open. Although I
can see the point of not discussing specific problems with specific
applications, at least not until a fix is in and notices have been sent
out. Then I think it falls back to the "it does everyone some good to
have it in the open" senerio. I learn a lot from my mistakes, but I also
learn from other's mistakes too, if I'm given the chance.

I was wondering the same thing. That it would just send the message and
the MTA's would ignore any other addresses listed in the actual message
text.

I think I'm just going to generate some random number to submit to the
processor and if it's not there then ignore it.

Hello all!
I am readjusting my brain from years of procedural programming and I'm
rapidly improving my ability to program object-oriented PHP. I'm no
expert but I am keen to get my hands on as much good teaching material
as I can.
I already have a good appreciation for OO concepts BUT I often tie
myself in knots (code myself into a corner) because I don't know how to
plan my OO projects "correctly".
Can anyone recommend some books that describe:
- how to plan OO projects (PHP specific would be good but isn't necessary)
- how to use UML (is UML what I am after?)
- OO design patterns for web applications
Thanks for helping me become a better programmer!

Blimey! I'm not a regular to these lists so I certainly didn't expect
replies from two names I recognise and respect from my years of
trawling the internet for valuable PHP and CSS information!
The books you both recommend look like exactly what I am after, with
the slight caveat that I am actually using PHP4 at work and these
books seem to focus on PHP5. I appreciate the real improvements PHP5
has over PHP4 with regards to OO but I have been a little hesitant to
make the leap. Perhaps now I will do so.
I've also been toying with a subscription to PHP Architect since it
first came out. It felt a bit to advanced for me back then but maybe
now I'm ready for it. Congrats Marco - I think you've bagged a new
subscriber!
(I've had StyleMaster for a short while now so you've already done
your work John!)
Thanks John and Marco for your swift replies, I'll be sure to check
out those books.

I really think you ought to take a look at PHP 5 -- I used it for my latest
project (I'll admit that I only did so because the project was an experiment
and I had nothing to lose, but I'm happy I did anyway) and it made a big
difference, well beyond the OOP stuff.
Incidentally, Jason's book on Design Patterns covers *both* PHP 4 and PHP 5
(when appropriate, there is code for both versions, and the differences in
implementations are explained).

Use ssh. You will have to setup remote key authentication from svrA to
svrB (so that a password will not be needed), and then in your script
you would call:
system('ssh svrB /path/to/scriptToRun');

The ampersand does not make it optional. It passes it by reference...

To make the second variable optional, give it a value in the argument
list when defining the function...
function doEmail ( $username, $link = NULL ) {

apparently the ampersand means to treat $link as a reference, not as
an optional argument:
http://www.softwareprojects.org/php-functions-12.htm
I think the way to do it would be to set a default value in your
function so that if a value is set by the calling statement that
would override it:
function doEmail($username, $link = false)
{
if ($link !=== false)
{
// "doEmail($arg1, $arg2);" gets sent here
print "$link $username";
}
else
{
// "doEmail($arg1);" gets sent here
print "$username";
}
}
haven't tested this, but give it a try.

As others have noted, the ampersand tells the function to grab a
reference to the variable passed.
There are two ways to do optional arguments:
1) Set a default value for the argument (must be last argument in the
list, or else all other arguments in the list must also have default
values):
function doEmail($username, $link = null) {}
function doEmail($username, $link = null, $linkName = '') {}
2) Parse the argument list via the func_* functions:
function doEmail($username)
{
$argCount = func_num_args();
if (1 < $argCount) {
// Retrieve second argument, from a 0-based array:
$link = func_get_arg(1);
}
...
}
function doEmail($username)
{
$argCount = func_num_args();
if (1 < $argCount) {
// Retrieve all arguments
$args = func_get_args();
// Remove $username from it
array_shift($args);
// Get $link:
$link = array_shift($args);
}
...
}

Do you mean remove the last member of an array? If so check out
array_pop() at www.php.net
raz
attached mail follows:
you use the unset() function:
unset($array[$key]); // http://www.php.net/unset
you can reindex the keys if they are numeric with:
$reindexedArray = array_values($array); // http://www.php.net/
array_values

I previously built a sticky form with dynamic checkbox array's.........
The form works beautifully thanks to help from Jochem Mass and Kathleen
Ballard.
I now have a slightly different problem...I have built an email form to send
the form data.
I copied and used the following code which works great in the sticky
form.....
if (isset($_POST['gmev']) && is_array($_POST['gmev'])) {
foreach ($_POST['gmev'] as $gmev_day) {
print "<p>You have registered for the: <b>$gmev_day</b> Good Morning East
Valley Event.</p>";
}
} else {
print 'You are not registered for any events!';
}
The results is this:
"You have registered for the: September 9th Good Morning East
Valley Event."
Now when I use the
