That is incorrect. mysql_real_escape_string is a php function, not mysql.

Mostly true: mysql_real_escape_string is a php function, but it's
provided by the mysql extension as part of the mysql client libraries
(which explains the name). It doesn't do anything significantly
different to addslashes(), which is purely a PHP internal function.
If you are writing database independent code, you should probably
prefer addslashes (or things like adodb::qstr).

Actually, it's both. And yes, you *do* have to be connected to the
mysql server.

mysql_real_escape_string() takes into account the current characterset
of the database. addslashes() does not.

Hummingbirds never remember the words to songs.
attached mail follows:
I've recently released version 1.0 of the WASP framework for PHP 5.
http://wasp.sourceforge.net
And I'm in the final draft stages of a How-To article:
http://fioca.com/brian/wiki/index.php/How-To_Write_a_Simple_Blog_in_WASP
WASP is a lightweight but powerful framework written in the spirit of
(but rather different than) Ruby on Rails. The purpose, really, is
to utilize all of the enhancements made to PHP in version 5 to build
a reusable framework for large applications.
I'm looking for volunteers to try out the How-To to see if it works,
makes sense, and is easy to follow and complete. Any contributions
will be properly credited in the final version.
I'm also looking for contributors to the framework, especially in the
areas of Windows support, and ensuring it works on many database
platforms.
Check it out and send me an email if you'd like to contribute, or
join the mailing list and send contributions there.
Thanks!

First thing to check is that your server has permissions to read the script,
as there seems to be a permissions problem here. More details about your
server setup might help to diagnose this further...

When I open 404.phtml directly from browser ererything gone OK, no error
message displayed.
It looks like a different access method to the script on 404 error.
I've tryed to create 404 script by
other php script (to get server process uid on file), but it's still not
working.

I want to insert an "=" between capitalized letters and none capitalized

to end att for example bindings and but a "\n" between bindings and

Hi all
I have some problems when I make a string containing the following
"Malmö, Asunción" to capital letters and then save it to a file.
I use the following to make it to capital letters:
$msg = mb_strtoupper($msg, "HTML-ENTITIES");
And this works just fine, everything looks as it should, but when I save
it to a file, this is how it looks:
"MALMÖ, ASUNCIÓN
It seems it has problems with "ó" and "Ö", does anybody know how this
can be solved? I have tried some different encodings but nothing helps,
I'm using PHP 4.3.2.
Thx in advance for all help.

into html entities... these entities (in the form '&' + xyz + ';') are
shown in the browser as the relevant char.

The problem is if I don't specify and encoding even an echo() on the
string shows strange chars when I have made a mb_strtoupper() on the
string. With HTML-ENTITIES at least it looked ok when you made an echo()
but when saved in file it looks bad.
Does anybody now what I can do in order to make the string into capital
letters, be able to save it to a file and looking as it should look,
that is: Asunción and not ASUNCIÓN?

I have tried every encoding which could be found in:

But nothing seems to work, I don't have any problems displaying the
funny chars in the browsers, there are some encodings which works fine
for that, the problem is when I save it to a file using fwrite().

Hi,
I m creating a cache system, and i have a problem: PHP takes a lot of
time opening the file. (Im using 2.6.9-1.667smp and XFS)
* For files less or equal 6 Kb, takes arround 0.02-0.03 miliseconds - its ok
* For files arround 35 Kb takes arround 0.2-0.4 miliseconds - too much.
What can I do to make faster opening files?
**************************************************************
Source code:
if(file_exists($filename)){
$modified_date=filemtime($filename);
if(time()<($modified_date+1 * 24 * 60 * 60)){

$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
echo $contents;
}
}
**************************************************************
Thinks that I have tried:
* fopen is *much* faster than include
* filemtime is faster than filectime
* Pear Cache its too much slower (0.5-0.7 milsecond per file)

You could try using file_get_contents instead of fopen/fread/fclose
and see if that makes any difference.
Also possibly try stat instead of filemtime? It would at least cache
the file stats on the 2nd run through, etc.
At the end of the day though any hard drive operation is going to be
relatively slow. Perhaps there is another way to do what you need that
avoids opening all the files? At the moment you appear to be checking
every files modified time then opening it. Perhaps you could get back
a directory listing instead and parse the modified time from this,
rather than check every single file?
Cheers,
Rich

faster disks.
alternatively if you have RAM to spare you can mount a RAM partition
and write and read all your cache files from there (I do it on
some machine with session files too)
there is also file_get_contents()

Bearing in mind that average access time on a 7200rpm HD is around
8ms, those numbers sound too good to be true anyway. You could
configure some kind of software disk cache on your system, or ideally
a hardware caching RAID controller and it could improve things
dramatically, but not down to that kind of level (which represents
about 200x what a single disk system might be expected to deliver).
Otherwise as Jochem says, use RAM for your cache in the first place.

Just about any mail server will accept mail from anywhere for local
delivery. But if you are not sending email to a user account local to
that mail server, the mail server is going to want you to
authenticate. Without authentication, the mail server would be an
open relay (no security), which is how spam gets around.
Some mail servers are setup to allow any email to go out as long as
it originates locally, like PHP running on the mail server or the
local network. This is still a limited open relay (weak security),
since it can be compromised by spoofing. The built-in PHP mail()
function does not currently support authentication, so you would not
be able to use a mail server that hasn't been setup for your computer
to send email without authenticating.
What you should look into is the PHPMailer class, which supports SMTP
authentication.
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
I probably should have just said this first instead of giving a
tutorial.

i think you can, may be you would like to read the manual of your
sendmail program,
about how to configure it as a smart host.
and if neccessary, tell it the un and pw you used to authenticate
yourself to your smtp server.

attached mail follows:
MSFT allowed spaces? They were behind in allowing spaces (and long
file names) Apple allowed them far before MS, and Unix allowed spaces
far before Apple. Unix just assumes a space is a command/parameter
delimiter first and part of the name second. Just like multiplication
takes precedence over addition unless you use parenthesis, a space
takes precedence as a delimiter unless you use quotes.
Spaces are permitted, underscores just means you don't have to use
quotes to explain what you mean. It's like saying Unix doesn't allow
you to use capitals in the file name because it won't find "filename"
it you type "FileName". It's a feature of a case sensitive file
system available in most forms of Unix. It also caused a lot of
confusion and frustration to people developing web sites under
Windows and posting to a Unix host.
Telling users to use underscores is a work around that works as long
and everyone uses underscores all the time. It's still better to have
knowledge of what's going on and why so when one does encounter a
file name with a space they know how to reference it.
I would say one of the lousiest things MSFT did was reversing the /
to reference paths in DOS.

escapeshellarg() works quite well, why you say its still failed? did u try?
do a
<?php echo escapeshellarg('Dir That (Won't Move)/'); ?>
will produce
'Dir That (Won'\''t Move)'
and this does fit into shell, even `(' and `)' is not escaped,
for in bash, all thing quoted in single quote will be treated as one
whole string and any meta character wont be interpreted by the shell.
so , please first try, then post your problem.

all born, to be dead
attached mail follows:
I just started working with a new company and they handed me some of their
php code for me to look over. I noticed that they have a TON of include
files being called into their scripts. For example, instead of having one
file called functions.php and then having all their functions in that one
file they have put each function into it's separate file and then have a
define_functions.php file that creates each function. However, within the
function itself it declared something like this:
function xyz($abc) { return include(xyz_func.php); }
function abc($xyz) { return include(abc_func.php); }
I was wondering isn't this putting a bigger load on a server by including
so many files for each function? Also, I was wondering what everyone's
opinion was on this approach in terms of maintenance. Do you think it's
better practice to put all your functions in one file or do it in this
manner?
thanks for any input!

How many are there? I don't use functions in that way, but I do a
similar thing for class files (minus that "definedfucntions" part of
course).
You could of course combine them all together, and yes it *would* be
faster for the script to execute as there is far less drive activity
going on. But then it's a trade-off between maintaining that single
massive file, as opposed to updating smaller chunks. If it's a real
issue looking at something like Zend Encoder would help.

Isn't it more work for PHP, or rather the Zend engine, to keep track of
a bunch of functions that aren't being used, not to mention the memory
it takes to load in one huge file. I agree that putting each function in
it's own file is going a bit too far in the other direction.
I tend to group functions together by purpose into seperate files. Kind
of a happy medium. You don't have a bunch of includes in the code and
you don't have a bunch of functions in memory that aren't being used.

Oh. My. God. Is this ugly. OK, it works, but that's not the way how one
should abuse include().

First of all: Yes, it increases the load, but not as much as one might
think. Modern filesystems are pretty good at caching so after the first
access to your scripts after some pause (caches cleared) there is a big
overhead but for subsequent page requests the overhead will be almost
negligible. So: Favor well organised file collections over big bloated
single-file function libraries!
But: Don't do it this way! Group the functions into similar ones (e.g
all functions regarding mail into functions/mail.php) and put each group
in one file. Rule of thumb: Starting at over 500 lines you begin to get
more problems at maintaining your script files. Then it makes sense not
only grouping the functions into one file per function group but into
directories containing one to many files (e.g. functions/mail/send.php
and functions/mail/receive.php).
Following this you should of course start to not include your whole
function library in each request but to implement some library loader.
You could do this in your pages:
// your index.php (if using this for all pages) or something
// you include in each file
// this is a page sending html mails so I need this:
$used_libs=array('mail/send','html/create');
foreach ($used_libs as $lib)
{
include('functions/'.$lib.'.php');
}
You could extend this concept to check if the requested files exist and
you could add some array with libraries that you want always to be
included. You could also create a mail/all mechanism that includes all
of the files in one directory.
And with PHP5 you have even more choices. You could use classes instead
of functions. Even if you don't want to instantiate objects you could
use them as "namespace simulators" in a static way. Instead of
function mail_send() {}
you could write
class Mail
{
public static function send() {}
}
This would then be called via Mail::send(). What's the advantage? Well,
you can cretae an autoloader for classes with PHP5. If you write it so
that the class Mail is in the file classes/Mail.php then you can
autoload the class on access so you can
Mail::send()
without having to explicitly include anything! Youd wouldn't have to
configure your scripts since only those classes you use will be
included. This of course reduces your server load.
So, long enough a response ? ;-)

I know this problem from my early PHP days. If your problem is that you
want to include some class or function libraries then the simple
solution is: Do not include inside the function or class but let the
class or function just return the path name!
So instead of
function include_lib($name)
{
$path='functions/'.$name.'.php'; // or more werid stuff
include($path);
}
include_lib('test');
do
function lib_path($name)
{
$path='functions/'.$name.'.php'; // or more werid stuff
return $path;
}
include(lib_path('test'));
Perhaps your problem is exactly of this type or similar.
