That issue specifically, no. However, portable code is desirable even
if your code is confined to a single machine.

Any host that upgrades the PHP version (a major upgrade considering it
would be 5 - 6) without notifying Customers isn't a very good hosting
company, and you really should change to a better one (Rackspace are
good). Even 1and1 don't do that and they're pants (IMO).
Plus you need to consider how long they would take to use PHP6
exclusively - my guess it would be at least a year; probably longer.
> Have you

Nope. Why? It's not even out yet in beta and therefore not worth my time
considering. ISTR having read something about a 5.3 release, which I
read would have namespaces. That needs consideration before any PHP6
release.

It does not matter if the customer was notified. Even if he is
notified, he needs to update his code.

A year is nothing! I have projects from 7 years ago that I know I need
to update "when I get around to it".

That really should be expected. You can't expect something to last
forever without tweaking it on occassion. And in the case of going from
PHP 5 - 6, the "tweaking" required may well be major, becxcause it's a
major version change.

Well "when you get around to it" makes it sound as though it's not
exactly important.

Exactly. That's why it should be written in a relatively portable
fashion from the beginning. To avoid pitfalls later on.

Right, I can still create new connections that perform well, with no
noticeable delay when talking to sendmail. The mail queue doesn't grow.

I disabled all the limiting features of sendmail without result
(QUEUE_LA, REFUSE_LA, confBAD_RCPT_THROTTLE...)
The user sending emails is "trusted" by sendmail, and the sending
program is located on the sendmail machine.

Mail is sent via PHPMailer. PHPMailer offers to send mail via PHP's
mail() function, or by calling the sendmail program or using SMTP. SMTP
may use persistent connections or not. All these modes were tested and
they all slow down after a while.
I didn't notice anything special in the maillog or other logs on the
machine.
Thanks for your help.

No need to use SMTP then. You should just be calling sendmail to drop
the emails into the queue. And that should not be slowing down.

They _all_ slow down after a while? How many emails are you sending in
this way?
It's easily tested. Just generate a script with 10000 calls to the
mail() function (send to denis+NNNNNamoureux.com with NNNNN = random
number). If that goes through without slowing down, mail() and your
sendmail daemon are not to blame.

All,
not really PHP related, but I figured someone here would already
have solved this problem.
I've got a page with a single <img>. I change the src attribute
dynamically using javascript. Although the images being served all
have long expiry times, Firefox still does a conditional get to which
apache says "304" as it should.
The issue is - I'd like this page to appear to be as "real time" as
possible, and the occasional delay caused by the conditional get is a
nuisance. My images are clearly cached, so how do I prevent Firefox
from doing the conditional get ? There must be some HTTP header I can
use.

You can use either or both of 'Expires' or 'Cache-Control'

I've just now added 'Cache-Control' - I was already using 'Expires', but
that wasn't sufficient. Thanks.

Ah, there you go... "show_body_only". I was too lazy when I used tidy a
while back to look through every option, so a quick preg stripping
sufficed :)

That depends... if I'm the webmaster and I want to input arbitrary HTML,
then htmlpurifier is unnecessary.

OP said "users." Strip tags doesn't bother with tag attributes so
that is a security hole. Any regex type solution will encounter the
same set of issues.
Htmlpurifier actually strips down and re-builds your html from the
ground against a nice whitelist filtering system that you can
customize to your needs. No nasty tags/attributes will get through
unless you want them to.

You have messed up the brackets. This -
strlen(trim($name) == 0 )
should be -
strlen(trim($name)) == 0
Then the script does what you want.

Why should the server folder name matter? Make it a hash and store the user
provided name in a db. Then when presenting the data to the user just show
the user provided name as the folder name. This would also handle multiple
users trying to use the same folder name for their stuff.

It may be that the whole folder hierarchy is publicly accesable. Some

Here's a way to get a 2-dimensional array of results that you can loop
through when needed. Don't know if it's what you need, but it's useful
when you have more than 1 row as a result.
<?php
function fetchObjectsAsArray ($sql)
{
$result = mysql_query ($sql);
if (!$obj['count'] = mysql_num_rows ($result)) { return null; }
while ($rows[] = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { }
foreach ($rows as $array) {
foreach ($array as $field => $value) {
$obj[$field][] = $value;
}
}
return $obj;
}
?>
Have fun!

Hello all,
I am just trying to see if I can connect up with my internal FTP server from
our website. The server is accessible from the outside world, as we can log
in using a client, etc. I am not really sure how to troubleshoot this, but
below is the script that I have. I "found" it on the net (and can't remember
where), and changed it a bit for my needs. It would appear that the call to
'ftp_connect' is where it fails. I tried this with both a URL as well as the
actual IP address, both error at the same place with the same error. Is
there a way to get an actual error message that is a bit more explanatory as
to what is happening?
<?php
$ftp_server = "FTP.URL";
$ftp_user = "USER";
$ftp_pass = "PASSWORD";
echo "Trying to connect with $ftp_server using $ftp_user, $ftp_pass";
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to
$ftp_server");
if ($conn_id) {
echo "Logging in as $ftp_user, $ftp_pass.";
$login = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);
// try to login
if ($login) {
echo "Connected as $ftp_user$ftp_server\n";
} else {
echo "Couldn't connect as $ftp_user\n";
}
// close the connection
ftp_close($conn_id);
} else {
echo "Could not establish connection";
}
?>
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Afternoon,
Just had word of a freelance project on for the next 4 weeks, start
immediately, basically 1 static site (design already done) - an easy
job, and 1 static site + a bit of PHP, breadcrumb, site search - it's
200 GBP a day (so about 4k for the next 4 weeks), ideally for somebody
who can pop into edinburgh to meet the client/agency and maybe work on site?
I was offered but I'm committed at the minute, it's through a reputable

if you have the time free.

Hi,
I have this HTML/JS page that switches images clicking on the radio
buttons and call template.php with the image ID as parameter:
http://portulan-online.net/einstein.html
Now, I need to make it a PHP page, because it is going to receive a
parameter from the URL that calls it and pass it as is to template.php
So, einstein.php will be called with a parameter (satellite):
http://portulan-online.net/einstein.php?satellite=123
After that, in einstein.php, I do:
$satellite = $_REQUEST['satellite'];
Next thing, I need the action in the JavaScript to be, for example:
http://portulan-online.net/template.php?id=3&satellite=123
What I don't know is how to mix the "PHP variable" satellite with the
image ID here:
document.getElementById('image1').src =
"http://portulan-online.net/einstein-" + ID + ".png";
I've tried putting einstein.php all inside an "echo", but the radio
buttons and the submit button stopped working.
Does anyone knows how to do this ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mrio Gamito

You could do that. Also, I'd suggest using $_GET instead of $_REQUEST.
Request works,b ut it is very broad. $_GET is more specific/secure.

Mrio:
The key here to remember is that javascript uses
ID and php uses NAME for inputs. So, if you put
your variables in that form and they will work
between javascript and php. Such as:
<input type="radio" name="rad" id="rad" value="2"
onclick="javascript:GetImage(this);">Einstein 2
Note the change of "this" in your js call -- you
can do that and not have to provide the number.
Also put in an action="whatever" into your form
and collect the selection via $_POST['rad'];
That will do what you want.
Cheers,
tedd

Looks like someone's working with the police academy, or something
similar. Reminds me.... I think I have to recert my CEVO and EVOC....
Anyway, using spaces in HTML form name and ID compartments is
illegal, and you're not encapsulating the data in quotes. So HTML
thinks that the first word of the bunch is the name of the form
element, then skips the rest. For valid HTML:
<?php
// foreach....
echo "<td><input name=\"".str_replace(' ','_',$key)."\"
type=\"checkbox\" value=\"".$value."\"></td><td>".$value."</td>";
?>
Otherwise, if you still want to use spaced form field names, you
can enclose them in quotes (as shown above) and the browser will
probably automatically urlencode() the data on submit.

Look at the source of the page that this script generates. Your input
tags look like this
<td><input name=Main Classroom type=checkbox value=Main
Classroom></td><td>Main Classroom</td>
See the problem? The html attribute values have spaces in them. As far
as your browser knows "Classroom" is supposed to be an attribute like
type and value. Since it doesn't understand it it drops it.
Here is some code, notice the \" surrounding the ".$key."
<?php
$vars = array("Main Classroom" => "Main Classroom",
"Break Out Classroom" => "Break Out Classroom",
"Gym" => "Gym",
"Firearms Range" => "Firearms Range",
"EVOC Track" => "EVOC Track");
echo "<form method=post action=twocoltests.php>";
echo "<fieldset><legend>Equipment Needed</legend>";
foreach($vars as $key => $value){
echo "<div><input name=\"".$key."\" type=checkbox
value=\"".$value."\"><label for=\"".$key."\">".$value."</label></div>";
}
echo "</fieldset>";
echo "</form>";
?>

attached mail follows:
I have a class that is throwing the error:

abstract class parent

protected $a;
function __construct($set = NULL, $special = NULL)

self::$this->titles = array_merge(self::$this->titles, $special);

{
self::$this->titles = array_merge(self::$this->titles, $special);
parent::__construct($set, self::$this->titles);

}
Basically parent is an extensible tool for holding data with titles that
dictate behavior later in the script. Eventually I will have a dozen or
so different child classes each using an identical API. But first I
need this constructor to work. The parent constructor just tacks the
array of titles from the $special attributes onto the end of the $titles
array.

You're using a Hebrew version of PHP?
That means something along the lines of "two times the two marks" in Hebrew.
However, in your case, you're checking the error on the wrong
line. Look at your foreach() statement. It should instead read as
follows:
<?php
foreach($set as $key => $value) { // You just missed the $ before value.
?>
Also, check this line:
<?php
if (array_key_exists($key,$this->titles)
?>
You're missing a ')' to close the if() statement. It's not
causing this problem, but it will cause a problem afterward.
