I thought shm and shmop were both system V? I may have misunderstood
because in PHP they are accessed with a key, whereas POSIX shm is
usually accessed via a name.

Of course I could be wrong. :-)

that goes for both of us, I was going on guess work really, based on the fact
that this page mentions System V:

        http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sem.php

but this pages mentions only 'Unix Shared Memory':

        http://php.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php

I was kind of hoping thse 2 extensions were not actually [doing] the
exact same thing hiding behind 2 different (which seems silly)

maybe a bigger egghead can shed some real light on the matter
(including the discrepancy between key/name that you mentioned).

The User Contributed Notes (*always* read those!) make it clear that
shmod is NOT Sys V.

It looks like it's not POSIX either, but I could be reading too much
into it...

Seems more similar to POSIX than Sys V, from my limited
experience^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H reading. :-)

It's possible that "name" was changed to "key" just to be more
consistent with the SysV stuff as a migration.

Ok, I just downloaded the source and looked at it. shmop is definitely
using the System V Shared Memory interface. The user contributed notes
say it differs from sysvshm. I take that to mean PHP's sysvshm module.

shmop uses shmget, shmctl, and shmat which are the System V shm
functions (need to use ipcs and ipcrm to manage them). Posix shared
memory uses shm_open(), mmap(), and shm_unlink().

Guess I'll take the source for shmop and make posixshm and contribute it
back to PHP. Unless someone else has already done it.

Thanks for checking into this for me. Gotta love open source, when in
doubt read the source. :-)

if you didn't find it and we didn't find it then it's not out there
(in the open at least)

but to be sure check with the guys at internalslists.php.net ;
and they might have some tips/pointers/gotchas for you.

if that was the case his error would have mentioned something about an
uncaught exception.

as it stands I find the WARNING inappropriate - you are forced
to use an if using this new-fangled object ALWAYS because a failed
connection may occur (it's a valid but undesired program state, no?) and you
have no way of checking this before the WARNING is spat out.

in this case, mainly because the WARNING is being generated inside an
object constructor, php/mysqli should be throwing an exception - which can be handled
in a programmatically sane way ... e.g.:

try {
        $db = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');
} catch (DBServerException) {
        echo "I'm sorry our database server seems to be sleeping"; exit;
} catch (DBNotFoundException) {
        echo "I'm sorry our database seems to have been deleted by a digruntled ex-sysadmin"; exit;
} catch (DBConnectException) {
        echo "I'm sorry our database doesn't like the look of you - your not coming in"; exit;
}

(and I seen/heard php devs state multiple times that failed object
constructors should throw exceptions on failure - actually there not much else
you can do given that return values are invalid from within the context
of an object constructor)

sidenote: where exactly do you put the to suppress the error in this line?:

$db = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');

Since it is the 'new' operator which is issuing the WARNING, as far as
I can tell, you should put it in like this:

$db = new mysqli(...);

It's POSSIBLE to put in front like this:
$db = new mysqli(...);
when the assignment itself issues the error, such as:

list($x, $y, $z) = each(array(1, 2));
//note the lack of a third element to assign to $z

But it seems excessive here to need it in front of $db...

With all the __toString and SPL array/object mumbo-jumbo going on, I
never know what's going on anymore with these things...

I found out that new mysqli doesn't throw an exception during it's
construction. The way I figured out how to deal with it was to do this:

$db = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'badpass', 'test');

With this in place no warning messages are displayed and then I can
follow it up with a check for any errors using mysqli_connect_errno().
I was a little surprised to see it not use an exception as I thought
that would be a better mechanism to know something is wrong when dealing
with objects. Either way, it was a simple fix. I just want to thank
Fernando Chure for pointing me in the right direction.

Nice idea, unfortunately it doesn't work that way. In order to have the
__autoload function work properly for session'd objects it needs to be
declared before the session is started. AFAIK when auto_start is on the
session is started before any PHP is evaluated. I had to shift one of my
frameworks around so that the __autoload was declared before
session_start was called.

I think Jochem may be on to something with the idea of using
auto_prepend_file but I can't say for certain whether this is done
before or after the auto_start. If it is before then you could declare
the __autoload function in the prepended file and it should work.

Another possibility...

Do a session_write_close() to kill of the auto_start session.

Then, using session_name() and session_id() and
session_set_cookie_params() force your OWN session control, completely
independent of the auto_start session, which you can do AFTER you have
done your include()s

This should allow you to do what you want with the fewest conceptual
changes, at the price of a bogus auto_start session being wastefully
used by your webhost -- which seems pretty brain-dead to me, but there
it is.

Evil. Pure evil.

Personally I'd rather go through the hassle of either mail-bombing my
current host until they realise how stupid they're being, or simply
switch host.

It's a theory, more than fact, obviously, as I wasn't involved in the
meetings where MS engineers decided to design/code this specific bit
of IE.

Consider these facts, however:

MS has brain-dead simple .xyz -> file-type-handler Operating System.

'.doc' extensions could have been trivially mapped to
'application/msword' or 'application/vnd.ms-word'

Instead, IE falls back to a generic and content-devoid
'application/octet-stream'

I suppose we could attribute this to sheer stupidity, but I'm going
with malice as the operating factor.

The "Content-Disposition" header was originated in MIME email.

It was then abused by MS IIS for HTTP, for which it was never intended.

And it *still* doesn't work across the board, no matter who made it up.

Please take the time to figure out WHY QualComm wrote that RFC.

Pay particular attention to the history of MIME EMAIL and HTTP server
headers.

Also take note: QualComm does not, to the best of my knowledge, have
any invested stake in HTTP servers. MS does. MIME Email, QualComm
has much invested. As with any documentation, pay attention to the
players, and where their money comes from, while you read.

Errrrr.

One of the earliest HTTP RFCs specifically states that the client
program MUST treat application/octet-stream as a file to be
downloaded. Not MAY, not SHOULD. MUST.

Unfortunately, I cannot find it right now, as I keep finding these
stupid MIME email crap RFCs instead, which apply to email.

All I know is that the RFC number is a heck of a lot lower than 1521.

And I know that every web browser ever built works this way, but not
every web browser ever built works with Content-Disposition, not by a
long shot.

MIME *email* headers, specifically introduced to deal with HTML
enhanced (cough, cough) email, being back-ported to HTTP, is the
stupid part.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

A good experimenting tool for Regex is "The Regex Coach"

I can't recommend it highly enough.

There's a couple places where it differs from PHP, and you have to
escape stuff in PHP once you figure out what PCRE wants, but it's
definitely a very good laboratory for PCRE.

Sometimes, though, experimenting only leads to more and more
frustration, as PCRE can seem quite random, rather than designed...

Honestly...

My answer would be "Don't do that."

Use include_path so that you never need to use ".." in your includes,
and use full pathnames when you go to read

WHOOPS!

My fingers slipped and I keyboarded to "Send" button.

... and use full pathname when you go to read a file.

Anything else is more like playing an Adventure Game than Programming.

hi, im Budi,

recently i have some problems here with displaying jpeg image in firefox
browser. at first, when i tested my web page using IE it jsut works fine,
but when i decided to test it using Firefox 2 the problem occurs. some of my
images left undisplayed. but the things that i cant still understand is the
other images (which is have the same type -- jpeg) are still displayed well.

another unusual thing is :
1. when drag on the image it still indicating that there is an image, but
with full white color.
2. say that my image file name is tes.jpg 200x200 px, then, when i copy the
image location, it is still showing the right name, say fooofoo.com/tes.jpg,
but when open that image (typing the name fooofoo.com/tes.jpg in the
browsers address bar) my browsers window title displaying "tes.jpg (GIF
Image, 1x1 pixels)"

so.. what problem that i really dealt with?

Hello,

I have a newbie question regarding URL parameters. The PHP script I
wrote need to read parameters passed in from a URL, so as an example

http://my.domain/myscript.php?name=me&age=27

and my script would use $name to get the value for name and $age to
get the value for age.

Everything was working fine until the sysadmin did a upgrade of the
PHP server, and $name and $age both give me nothing.

I am just wondering if the latest version of PHP has changed the way
to access url parameters. If so, what would be the correct way of
doing it? Please help. Thanks.

You'll probably get 50 answers to this, but here's probably what happened.

There's a setting called "register globals" that will turn your name=me and age=27 into $name = "me" and $age = "27". It used to be turned ON by default. This was generally considered to be bad security, so it now defaults to OFF.

To get these variables, just use the $_GET system variable.

$name = $_GET['name'];
$age = $_GET['age'];

Easy!

Best of luck!

I'm leaning towards yes.

> Some people don't know everything that you do

I don't know everything either, but register globals has been covered
here in depth for the entire length of time since the default value was
switched. There's this thing called the archives. There's also this
thing called "knowing the technology you use".

Not responsible for administering the server is fine, but php.ini is
part of PHP and he did state he wrote the script. If you're suggesting a
PHP developer shouldn't need to be aware of the associated ini
configuration (regardless of whether they can admin it) then you also
need to get your head out of the sand.

Cheers,
Rob.

Hi,

I am desparately looking for a solution for importing address book from aol
webmail to my browser. I found some commercial solution (such as,
http://svetlozar.net) which was done using cURL. But couldnt find any php
classes to implement it. Anyone can help me how to implement this ? As far
as i could go is this code which can successfully log in to aol :

<?php
$login = 'abcd';
$pass = '1234';

$url = "https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp";
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)";
$postvars =
"screenname=".$login."&password=".$pass."&submitSwitch=1&siteId=aolcomprod&mcState=initialized&authLev=1";
$cookie = "cookies/test";
unlink($cookie);

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "E:/aol_grab/curl-ca-bundle.crt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postvars);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$content = curl_exec ($ch);
file_get_contents("http://d02.webmail.aol.com/22250/aol/en-us/Suite.aspx");
//print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
//echo "\n\ncURL error number:" .curl_errno($ch);
//echo "\n\ncURL error:" . curl_error($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
unset($ch);
echo "<PRE>".htmlentities($content);

Hi,

Can someone make me an example of simple reading a *.txt file on a hard
drive
and displaying that file with a echo command or some loop or anything
path to file:

(C:\Program Files\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\test_folder\test1.txt) btw the
script is in this folder to.

Full code please.

Thanks in advance!

This just dumps the content to the browsers. You could use file() instead if
you want to loop thru every line.

$file = "test1.txt";

if(file_exists($file)) {
        if(is_readable($file)) {
                if($file_content = get_file_contents($file)) {
                        echo "<pre>";
                        echo $file_content;
                        echo "</pre>";
                } echo "Something went wrong";
        } else echo "Cannot read the file '$file', check permissions";
} else echo "The file '$file' does not exist in this directory";

You should learn how to read the manual, because in the end we will not do
this kind of things if it already is in the manual.
