Hello there,
Is there a way to check if a variable is passed by reference or if it is
just a copy. With something like is_copy or is_reference?
Thx in advance.
attached mail follows:
Why do you want to do that? To check whether a variable is passed by
reference or value look at the function prototype. If you clarify the
reasons why you want to do that it would help.

If your code doesn't already "know" which it is, you've screwed up
somewhere.

Hi group,
I am having a site all encoded in UTF-8, and it works fine. I use AJAX a lot
to send data back and forth to the server.
I have one service that requires that I send the data in windows-874
encoding (SMS gateway in Thailand). So is there anyway I can take the data
that is UTF-8 and then convert it to windows-874 and then send it to the SMS
gateway?

This is just a parrot of previous answers to similar questions.

You could also contact the Thai folks and find out if there is
anything "close enough" to Windows-874 to use.
From my limited understanding, sometimes the difference between 2
encodings is sooooooo minor that you're only screwing up a couple
characters, and only a linguist cares. :-v
I also suspect that MS, in typical fashion, may have "stolen" (no!) a
character encoding, renamed it windows-874, and it's really really the
same thing as an OSS encoding of another name.

Hey!
I have not heard of such a script, sounds kind of specialized, guessing you would have to make this mate... shouldnt be _very_ hard to do thought.

You may want to try Googling for "PHP micropayments" and "PHP
microeconomy" and similar words. I think that's what it's called...
It's also entirely possible that the Merchant Account agreements
specifically prohibit this kind of economic model, as it puts a great
deal of the Security in your hands, instead of theirs, but,
ultimately, their exposure to Risk is even higher than yours. So the
answer might be "You can't do that" :-(

Ok, I've set up a username and password using Grant All Privileges, blah.

can't run the script from the command line even when I su to root. I am in
a virtual hosting situation so not sure if that's it. Does it not know what
to do with localhost in a virtual hosting situation when running it from the

just seems to die:

$this->password);
echo "after connect";
From the command line, it never prints the after connect...just seems to die
without error...or at least no error to the screen and I do have a check
right after to kick off the mysql error if there is no connection ID but
again, I am su'ing to root so I thought it would always have rights. Not
really sure what to do next.

Hi,
(sorry for top-posting)
This is the great way PHP-cli lets you know it hasn't got any MySQL
support :)
Enable that, and you're good to go. Mind you, PHP-cli has a separate
php.ini file.

su root or not does *nothing* to help you run MySQL and do database
things.
MySQL has a user called 'root' but it's not in any way, shape, or form
related to the OS 'root'.
Well, okay, the *idea* is the same, and the *name* is the same... But
that's it!
The *only* thing that matters to MySQL is the username/password used
to connect, and what permissions have been granted in MySQL to that
username/password.

Get rid of the , at least until you figure out what is going on.

Don't bother su-ing to root. It has no effect on MySQL whatsoever.

Just to verify that this is in fact the problem you should remove the
'' sign from mysql_connect. '' is a way of supressing errors, you
specifically WANT that error. Is there a reason you have the '' there?
If the error is 'Undefined function mysql_connect' then you do need to
get MySQL support compiled in... If it is available on the apache
module it should be available to the CLI as well.
If there is no 'undefined function' error then you should also be
calling 'echo mysql_error()' to see what the error is after connecting.
That error is going to give you more info than any of us can.

Yep, I get called to undefined function so I need to somehow re-compile the
cli version? How do I give support to just the cli version? I'm going to
the docs now.

Hi gang:
In one of my snip-its, namely:
http://xn--ovg.com/pdf
I was generating a pdf document after the user filled in a form. I
had been cleaning the user input by using --
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
-- even though I wasn't using MySQL (the code was a cut-paste from
some other code I had).
However, everything worked!
But, a couple of days ago it suddenly stopped working. Now, I get the
following error:
Warning: mysql_real_escape_string(): Access denied for user
'nobody''localhost' (using password: NO) in ...
When I comment-out the offending statement, it runs. I replaced the
statement, but wonder what happened -- when did using
mysql_real_escape_string() require a password?
What's up with that? Any ideas as to what happened?

Hi Tedd,
According to
http://nl3.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string
The function requires a MySQL connection. If there is none, it
will try and create one. That fails now. Possibly you could use addslashes()?

Ivo

Don't use addslashes. Keep using mysql_real_escape string but make
sure you have a valid link identifier like Ivo said.
string mysql_real_escape_string ( string unescaped_string [, resource
link_identifier] )

One of two things happened.
Some auto-connect script is no longer running, or the 'nobody' user in
MySQL got nuked.
Cuz you used to be connected to MySQL, and it was using MySQL database
information to do the escaping.

mysql_real_escape_string talks back to MySQL to ask it what character
encoding you are using, so it knows how to correctly escape
multi-byte/unicode/funky characters for MySQL usage.
Take out the "_real" bit, and it's doing a "fake" version that ignores
multibyte/unicode/funky characters.
So, short term, just delete '_real' from your function call, and it
will act exactly like before, except with the caveat that any
unicode/multibyte/funky characters may not be escaped the same way as
they were.
> What's up with that? Any ideas as to what happened?
One also has to ask WHY you would use MySQL's escaping for data that's
not going into MySQL.
That's almost certainly "wrong"
Though I confess, I'm sometimes at a loss how to properly escape
certain data for certain situations...
Here's an example:
Take the Subject of an email.
Sure, I've sanitized it to be sure there are no newlines for header
injection.
But now how do I properly escape it to be sure it's a kosher email
subject?
Where's the PHP function smtp_escape()?
I'm just passing it on from one user to another. I don't want to
munge it, nor make any assumptions about its format. It's just "data"
to me.
But to SMTP, there are bound to be all kinds of "rules" about it that
I have no desire, much less time, to research, code, and test in as
thorough a fashion as I should to be Professional.
And every developer who sends an email with PHP needs this, right?
So of the myriad PHP functions available, which one is the right one
to escape an email Subject.
I'm *NOT* asking for an answer to this specific question about email
Subjects!
I'm looking for a guide, a chart, a grid, an organized systemic
documentation of what data should be escaped how as it travels through
the "glue" that is PHP...

Richard:
Yes, according to:
http://us3.php.net/mysql_real_escape_string
The use of the statement looks for a MySQL connection and if there
isn't one, it tries to connect and thus producing the error I got
when it failed.
The answer to "WHY" I did it is that I cut/pasted the code from
another script. I was only concerned with cleaning the input and not
with using MySQL -- it was just one statement in several to scrub
various inputs.
However, I would have thought that if the code was going to fail, it
would have done so immediately. But it instead, it ran for weeks
without failure until just a few days ago. I checked the script
almost daily to see if it ran.
While it seems very unlikely to me, I must have also tested code that
opened a MySQL connection before testing that script. Strange
circumstances.
Thanks for the clarification.

Richard:
I realize that you are not asking for an answer, but for a guide --
however -- isn't the real problem here simply one of injection? Just
stop the user from injecting stuff in the subject and that would fix
it right? Or, am I underestimating the problem?

Hello,
I am writing a web page that contains some php code the will
send/receive a message from a java application running on our server.
The php code successfully sends a message to the server but will not,
as far as I know, receive the message back. The only way I know this is
that I attempt to echo out the message that is received and nothing
prints...
I am very new to php so I am using 'class.ClientSocket.php' written by
Juan M. Hidalgo to do all the communications...
What is odd is that I receive no errors either from either side.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You could try contacting Juan and/or the Java guy who wrote the code...
You should also start reading class.ClientSocket.php and figuring out
how it works and adding debugging statements to see what's going on.
Ye Olde 'echo "got here\n";' is often the best answer in this situation.

============================================================================
IEEE Software Special Issue
Rapid Application Development with Dynamically Typed Languages
Call for Papers
Publication: September/October 2007
Submission Deadline: 1 February 2007
============================================================================
Dynamically typed programming languages were once seen as slow, unreliable,
and suitable only for small throw-away tasks. However, their ability to aid
rapid systems development and to facilitate the pervasive, mobile, and
frequently updated systems that are increasingly in demand in the modern
world has led to their stock rising considerably.
While developers are ever keen to find out more about the details of dynamic
programming languages, managers are interested in finding out how they can
complement existing approved languages without diluting their organizations'
technical focus.
We thus solicit contributions in several areas related to dynamic
programming languages. Topics of interest include:
* Dynamic programming languages "in use".
* Organizations' experiences in integrating dynamic programming languages
into their existing language menagerie.
* Experiences of and techniques for using dynamic programming languages
effectively (including efficiency and scalability concerns).
* How dynamic programming languages have evolved and how they might
develop in the future.
* New techniques in challenging areas such as metaprogramming, reflection,
dynamic reconfigurability, and mobility.
For detailed author guidelines, please visit:
http://www.computer.org/software/author.htm
Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and tables, which
count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits may be
rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the theme's scope
will be peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for magazine style,
clarity, organization, and space.
For more information, please contact the Guest Editors Laurence Tratt and
Roel Wuyts at dyntratt.net.

If you get no answer here, php-internals is a potential source, for a
quick reference to the right part of the source where that bit of code
lives.
Also try finding it for yourself in the source, or http://lxr.php.net
Good Luck -- It would certainly be very cool to have this extension
OpenSourced and added to PECL. Hint, hint.
Note that OpenSourcing it and adding it to PECL might get another
developer interested in fixing your current problem, too, so it's a
win for you.

Check the operator precedence, as you might need $a = ($b || $c); but
there's nothing to stop you from using it if it make sense in context.
These basic operators are quite clearly documented in the manual...
Hint, hint.

Might I suggest instead that *EVERY* lesson have a Security focus for
a few minutes on whatever issues are relevant to whatever is being
discussed -- and if you can't think of anything relevant to the
lesson, a general review of Security or a Security Tip unrelated is
never a Bad Idea.
If I was lucky enough to have somebody hire me to teach PHP, that
would be my approach.

There are no dodgy characters for e-mail. What you may need is to encode
those characters to send them by e-mail. You may need to use
quoted-printable for bodies and q-encoding for headers.
If you are not sure how to do that, you may want to try this MIME
message composing and sending class that takes care of that for you:

Is .htaccess enabled at all? by default apache doesn't have it
enabled in most installations.
If you can, set this on a per directory setting in your virtualhost
setting within a <Directory> or <Location>, instead of turning on
.htaccess.
