They also don't touch on the extensibility, automation of
expansion with PEAR and PECL, virtually unlimited and
readily-available core modules and scripts, and the vast
implementations the world over.... but who's really paying attention,
anyway? ;-P

My mistake.... I thought that's what `php -a` did.

Thank you Chris, for the insight. The more I think about it, the closer I
get to the same conclusion. I've already made up my mind for php in web
based development. Also, I'm still unable to find a dramatic disadvantage
of php against python on the command line. What's more, I'm actually more
of a sysadmin than a dedicated application programmer. So I can't afford
to put more or less similar languages of the same league under my belt.

Kind regards,

Really interesting. It was a relief for me to see that even a somewhat
biased document written by python champions didn't reveal serious
advantages over php enough to consider dual language programming.

However, there's a general perception of php as a "web-only" language, and
all the comparisons I find -this one included- end up comparing the two as
web programming languages. What I really need is a comparison regarding
pure cli or gui projects.

I found one intersting item though: Under the "What does Python have that
PHP doesn't?" header, there's a bullet stating that "support for all major
GUI frameworks". I know that both php and python have support for gtk. Am
I to understand from this statement that python has also support for qt?

Kind regards,

If I'm not completely mistaken, I think that Python can even
interface with the GNOME libraries. PHP could theoretically do that,
as well, if someone went through and created extensions for it all.

PHP is an excellent command-line interpreter, in my opinion. I'd
say that, in all of my day-to-day PHP programming, about 60% of the
code is for the web, with 35% being run from the command line, and 5%
magically disappearing, to loud screams of frustration and broken
coffee mugs.

I had one of those little screams yesterday when I started using the
PHP's id3 lib when I realized it's crap because it can't delete or write
version 2 tags. Fortunately I found a nice user comment pointing me to
the PHP implemented getid3 lib. An hour later my mp3 collection (several
thousand ripped from my own CD collection of course :) had nice ID3 tags
based on the directories and filenames I had created a few years ago.

Wasn't an issue when I was using XMMS but I just switched to Amarok and
it makes extensive sensible use of ID3 tags :)

n relation to my other posts it is not that the folder permission are not
working, when I put an image inside them the image automatically has a 600
chmod and has the owner is 'nobody'. This means I cannot delete the files.

mkdir('images/'.$customer_id, 0755);
chown('images/'.$customer_id, 'ross');

with this I get a

Ross,

In order to chown from one user to another, you either have to be
root or in the wheel group. The easiest way to handle this is to
either chmod the script that's uploading the files to 6755 (owner can
read/write/execute, group can read/execute, world can read/execute,
runs with user/group permissions), which should (if the server is
configured properly) then make your images owned by yourself. If not,
or to delete existing data, simply do one of the following:

<?
exec('rm -fR '.$dir_with_files_to_delete,$ret,$xc);
$xc == 1 ? $ret : '';
?>

Or....

<?
chmod($nobody_owned_dir."/".$nobody_owned_files,0777);
chmod($nobody_owned_dir,0777);
?>

Then you should be able to modify and delete the files and
directories from your FTP client.

If they are set to 600, and they were created by the web server, then
you won't be able to delete them under your own username, using ftp,
which is why filezilla doesn't work. But you should be able to write a
php script which can delete them when it is called from your browser.
Before you can remove the directory, you will first have to delete all
the files it holds:

$dir = "images";
foreach($files as $file) {
unlink ($dir. '/' .$file);
}

remdir($dir);

Hi,

What I want is to send a complete HTTP request, including special
headers, to another server over a HTTP proxy. Is this possible with
PHP?
I've seen the manual, and it doesn't say anything about proxy. I've
checked the comments on the fsockopen page, and there's a comment
about it for using ICQ status request through proxy, but it seems not
what i need.

Wow.... great job, Robin.... I didn't even know about the
dns_get_record() function myself until just now. I can actually think
of a few places to use that now.... email validation, for one.

Robin,

This is a very good solution, and I thank you for your response. However I
had been experimenting with dns_get_record() before my original post and it
produces strange results on my machine. And your example, on my machine,
produces no output.

<?
$dns_result = dns_get_record("www.google.com", DNS_A, $authns, $addt);

print_r($dns_result);
print_r($authns);
print_r($addt);

/* result
Array

    [0] => Array
        (
            [host] => www.l.google.com

I have same results as you brad,
I have Apache 2.2.3 + PHP 5.2.3RC1, so if you finally get it working,
it's definitely not portable code :P
Maybe it's an option to talk to a whois server?

Hello,

I want to allow uploading of huge video files, which may be as big as 4 GB. But when I try to set

post_max_size = 4G
upload_max_filesize = 4G

in php.ini, it doesn't work and everything in post (posted data) is ignored.

I get a warning about size of posted data greater than some negative number.

I read somewhere that php stores this data in integer.

I have tested it on 64 bit system (php 5.1.6 installed on Mandriva 2007.0) as well as 32 bit system (php 5.2.2 installed on windows xp sp2).

Value up to, I think, 2147483647 bytes or ( around 1.999.. gb) works

We need to allow uploading of 4 GB files. Is there any solution.

Regards,
Sukhwinder Singh

Yeah, don't use HTTP. Seriously, HTTP is a crappy mechanism for
uploading files, especially large ones. And by large ones I mean >~20MB!!

You need to look into maybe a java applet, or just plain FTP/SFTP/SCP
for files that big. HTTP was never designed to handle uploading files of
that size. For a start there is no facility to restart the upload should
it get interrupted and fail.

Thanks for your reply.

So you are saying I cannot do it using php. These files have to be uploaded
locally but using web interface and I have to pass some parameters along
with file upload to update the database after upload is successful. Also I
have to rename the file after it is uploaded.

Any utility which allows this?

Thanks,
Sukhwinder Singh

Rumor has it that uploaded files are stored in memory before being committed
to disk. If so, the amount of free RAM available to PHP would be the limit
to the filesize regardless of the ini file settings.

You should probably use another method of transport for files that large.
FTP immediately comes to mind.

Sounds like you need a Java applet. I have little experience with this,
but I know that quite a few exist. I have no idea if any of them support
sending meta data with the upload. I suggest you start Googling.

I don't think that is the case. File is written to temp directory as it is
uploaded.
And the qeustion is of php having negative values after I specify post size
limit to 4G

You mean ftp client? Like cute ftp. If yes, the problem is that along with
uploading the file I also have to update database to associate that file
with some user etc. It needs to be web based.

I would hazard a guess that you're overflowing a signed 32-bit int by
specifying 4gig, but I could be wrong. It's certainly not the issue.

Even java applets have to hand over the file to some script, in this case
php and php will get it in $_FILES array it seems (in case of japplet). so
the problem will remain.

There is a comment in the documentation for move_uploaded_file() that
indicates the entire file is saved in memory prior to writing to the
temporary upload area. Maybe this is not true. Read it for yourself. Its
just a comment, so who knows?

Also, there is an indication that you may need to tweak memory_limit in
php.ini.

After a quick search I found an applet that handles file uploads, and can
use FTP as the transport protocol.

Not at all true. A Java applet can use FTP to handle the upload and
still pass meta data about the file as an HTTP POST request. There is no
requirement to use HTTP to upload the file from a Java applet.

It is not about how data is going to be transferred but it is about php
having a limit on what it can accept as POST.
But we'll see how it works out. I'll let everyone know.
I am trying japplet for now.

You don't appear to have read what I said. A Java applet can use FTP to
upload the file - PHP does not get involved in that part. Once the
upload is complete the applet can POST to your PHP file giving it
information like where it's put the file and this other information you
need to give it so it can rename the file. This is the only bit PHP gets
involved in and it doesn't involve trying to upload 4 gig over a
machanism that was never designed for it.

Thanks again for replying.

I have read. I have been trying to find out way for last two days.
I can say about jupload and how it seems to work.
It uploads file to server in a temporary directory.
It has postURL parameter. Then it POSTS the data to php file.
Because it POSTS, the php configuration values comes into question.

Here is an example:

Settings in php.ini are 50M for upload_max_fisesize and 50M for
post_max_size.
I used japplet and uploaded a 51.89 MB file.

This is what is in error log.

[08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 54414946 bytes
exceeds the limit of 52428800 bytes in Unknown on line 0

[08-Jun-2007 03:06:29] PHP Notice: Undefined index: File0 in
E:\projects\ice\post_test.php on line 13

File0 is the first file in $_FILES array, as POST fails I don't get that
array.

I uploaded a 48 MB file and it worked without any problem.

Sorry but I couldn't follow. If I understood correctly, there's 50M (or 4G,
for that matter) data, and there's say 5K metadata. First, java applet
uploads the bulk data over ftp to a temp directory on the server
(employing the ftp service running on the server - not apache/php).
If/when the bulk data transfer completes successfully, then the java
applet needs to POST the 5K metadata over http to php. Up to this point I
can follow. But in your example, the java applet transfers the bulk data
itself -not metadata- a second time, POSTing it to php?

If so, then the applet you use (or the parameters it's been passed) should
be broken, I guess.

Kind regards,

Yes you are right. I seems to post complete data.
Actually I want 4GB uploads as uploads will be local so it is not going to
take so much time.
The example of 50 MB I provided was to prove that applet was actually
POSTing to php and php's post and upload limits came into effect.
I am using JUpload. http://jupload.sourceforge.net/

And it POSTs the data to a php script after it uploads. PHP doesn't seem to
allow more than 1.99999... GB

Any suggestion to use some other applet. Any freeware etc. Or one not so
expensive and which overcomes this php's 1.99 gb limit.

"Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness,

Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V

attached mail follows:

I was reading the handbook on the topic of Unix process control. The first
thing it says is:

Process Control support in PHP implements the Unix style of process
creation, program execution, signal handling and process termination. Process
Control should not be enabled within a web server environment and unexpected
results may happen if any Process Control functions are used within a web
server environment.

Does this mean that a machine running PHP to handle HTTP requests should not
also use PHP to implement a Unix style process, or does it mean that these
methods should not be called from the CGI
SAPI<http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php>
.
My impression is that a given machine should be able to use the Unix process
control functions and handle HTTP requests as long as the Unix process
control functions are invoked strictly from the CLI
SAPI<http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php>
.

can somebody clear this up for me?

It says that within a web server environment you should not use process
control functions. It does not say that on a machine that's running a
web server you should not use process control functions.

A "web server environment" does not mean the entire machine. Hope that
clears it up.

No problemo. Just remember, only .php files will match the first
case, while anything containing `htm` will be included in the second
case (.htm, .html .phtml, .xhtml, et cetera). So you may need to
modify it a bit if you have certain cases where you want to remove all
.html files, for example, but not .phtml (an archaic PHP file
extension).

Why? They are both internal PHP functions and are both available (or should

Sounds like a problem with the installation. However, speaking of
deprecated, the mime_content_type() function is deprecated itself.
It's replaced by the PECL extension Fileinfo.

What could go wrong with an installation on a Windows machine that uses the
binaries? Why would it be only these functions (that I can tell) that would
be missing? Is there somewhere I can go and check (possibly using
phpinfo()) to find out if these functions should be available?

Yes, I saw that in the online docs. Unfortunately, we don't have PECL
installed nor could I get it installed any time soon...

basename() works, dirname() works, filetype() works... all functions
seemingly similar enough to, at least in my mind, filesize() such that I
would think that if filesize() is undefined then those other functions would
be undefined too.

Have you uncommented or added `extension=php_mime_magic.dll` in
your php.ini file for mime_content_type()? What about adding
something like this, as well:

[mime_magic]
mime_magic.debug = On
mime_magic.magicfile = "c:\php\extras\magic.mime"

Do you have anything in the `disable_functions =` area of your php.ini?

stat() works, but not if I pass in the actual name of the file. I have to
use fstat() in order to get the proper data. I'll have to check to see if
there are any functions disabled in the php.ini (I don't believe there are
any) but if fstat()/stat() work, I'm at a loss to explain why filesize()
doesn't... :| or, also, why stat() doesn't work when I use a correct
filename.

extension=php_mime_magic.dll is commented out in my php.ini. So that
explains why the mime_content_type() isn't working. That's fine. Is this
DLL also responsible for filesize()?

No, there are no disabled functions definined in my php.ini.

Are you sure the rest of your .htaccess file is correct?
And what does your Apache error log show you? there should be an error...

I assum you are using MySQL, since you didn't specify. Typically,
mysql_query() will return false if the query failed, and
mysql_affected_rows() will return the number of rows affected.

Does file_get_contents() not work with absolute paths? I'm able to

Nothing gets displayed but I see that the file was created and that it has
the data I defined.

What's going on?

That's the strangest absolute path I've ever seen... it seems to have
some kind of non-absolute prefix.

Rob,

Are you using Amarok on Windows, Linux, or other? I have Amarok
1.3.1 on KDE 3.4.2 on Mandriva 2006.0 Community on 2.6.12-12mdksmp on
an i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz w/ 1GB RAM on a desk with a
bunch of crap on it, and all it does is crash for me. I use Totem
instead, occasionally using xine for audio, and usually for video
(different subject). Just wondering how stable Amarok is for you.

I'm running Amarok 1.4.3 (using KDE 3.5.5) on Ubuntu 6.10 (I'm actually
a Gnome user). I used Mandrake up till 10.0, I'll never go back. My
desktop is an Athlon 2400 with 2 gigs of memory (though consumption
rarely goes past half gig unless I'm running several VMWare OSes at the
same time). I started using it about 3 days ago, I've had a few crashes,
but mostly when doing something major like re-scanning my collection
(8000+). Had no trouble grabbing covers, creating playlists, editing
100s of tags within Amarok, etc. Only complaint really is that it's pig
slow when switching to or sorting columns on large playlists (well the
whole 8000 heheh).

I'm a Mandriva dev and would have to say that if you've not used it for
a while I think you'll be pleasently surprised these days. It's come a
long, long way since 10.0!

Also the older Amarok run by Daniel is faily unstable (I'm also a bit of
a KDE dev when I get a mo'!) is fairly old and bug ridden. Whatever your
distro, I'd upgrade your Amarok to the latest stable for the best
experience. FWIW, if you add your sources correctly you can just urpmi
your 2006.0 machine to 2007.1 relatively easily. I've done it on several
machines now (a couple of them remotely!).

Hi all,

Does PHP happen to have something similar to Perl's File::Tail ->

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
