Re: [PHP] compiling on freebsd
what are you using for your flags when you do ./configure normal should be ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs Things like that. if you ran ./configure nothing will compile the libphp4 for you. there is a Install file which will walk you thru the setup also on the manual on php.net under installation there is a freebsd section.

I'm trying the following code, but I get a strange error:

for ($i = 0; $i 100; $i += 10)
{ $fp = fopen($Url, r);
while($fp !feof($fp))
{ $sLine .= fgets($fp, 4096);
}
... do some further things with $sLine
fclose($fp);
}
How can I get more information about the error occuring? Warning: No

Google is probably trying to send you a cookie in which case you cannot use

[PHP] Unlucky Situation Involving CURL
I'm developing a website that has the unlucky situation of being situated on a host that does not have CURL installed on it. This is basically what I'm trying to do: $ch = curl_init(); /// initialize a cURL session curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL,https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Rate;); /// set the post-to url (do not include the ?query+string here!) curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); /// Header control curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); /// tell it to make a POST, not a GET curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $y); /// put the query string here starting with ? curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); /// This allows the output to be set into a variable $xyz $xyz = curl_exec ($ch); /// execute the curl session and return the output to a variable $xyz curl_close ($ch); /// close the curl session Basically what this will do is send an XML file to UPS, to get shipping rates which are returned as an XML file from UPS. The script has to sit and wait for an answer from the UPS servers. Does anybody know of a way of doing this without using CURL? Jason Cathcart
[PHP] Problem with Apache/SSL/Perl/PHP + LDAP
Hi All, I have searched all over the web for an answer to this, but I can't seem to find one :( I have a custom Apache installation with mod_ssl, mod_perl mod_php and Chili!Soft's mod_casp. When I originally compiled this, I didn't need LDAP support from php, so it wasn't compiled into it. Now I need LDAP support, I have tried re-compiling and am having problems. When I compile with --with-ldap everytime I start Apache, it fails and reports this error in error_log : Syntax error on line 1158 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration If I compile without --with-ldap then Apache works with no problems. Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? Is this a common problem? Does anyone know what I can do to fix it? I have tried using PHP 4.2.0, but this produces the same problem... I have included my compile options below : OpenSSL (v 0.9.6b) # cd /usr/src/openssl-0.9.6b/ # sh config no-idea no-threads -fPIC # make # make test mod_ssl (v2.8.5-1.3.22) # cd ../mod_ssl-2.8.5-1.3.22/ # ./configure --with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.22 mod_perl (v1.26) # cd ../mod_perl-1.26/ # perl Makefile.PL \ EVERYTHING=1 \ APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.22/src \ USE_APACI=1 \ PREP_HTTPD=1 \ DO_HTTPD=1 Apache (v1.3.22) # cd ../apache_1.3.22/ # SSL_BASE=/usr/src/openssl-0.9.6b \ ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/apache/ \ --enable-module=env \ --enable-module=setenvif \ --enable-module=mime \ --enable-module=mime_magic \ --enable-module=negotiation \ --enable-module=alias \ --enable-module=userdir \ --enable-module=dir \ --enable-module=autoindex \ --enable-module=access \ --enable-module=auth \ --enable-module=asis \ --enable-module=include \ --enable-module=cgi \ --enable-module=actions \ --enable-module=status \ --enable-module=info \ --enable-module=log_config \ --enable-module=imap \ --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \ --add-module=mod_frontpage.c \ --enable-module=ssl \ --enable-shared=max \ --disable-shared=perl # make # make certificate # make install PHP # cd php # ./configure \ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-ldap # make # make install # cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini -- Thanks Andrew McCall Internet System Administrator I.C.T.

[PHP] Predefined variables in PHP 4.2 vs. older version
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php says: -- In PHP 4.2.0 and later, the default set of predefined variables which are available in the global scope has changed. Individual input and server variables are by default no longer placed directly into the global scope; rather, they are placed into the following superglobal arrays. You can still force the old behaviour by setting register_globals to 'On' in your php.ini file. -- Changing php.ini is not an option in most virtual servers. Is there a way to reliably detect PHP version and have $PHP_SELF replaced with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] when executed in 4.2 or newer? This way I would avoid putting out separate versions for PHP 4.2 or newer. Thanks, Pekka http://photography-on-the.net/ee/ - Pekka Saarinen http://photography-on-the.net -

I strongly recommend reading the date section of the manual... it takes all of 5 minutes, and you would have come across strtodate(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php ... which can accept almost any English date/time phrase (like next month), and convert it to a Unix time stamp... combined with date()'s ability to accept a given timestamp (as well as the current time), you get exactly what you want in three lines :) ? $today = date(j-M-Y H:i); $next_month = date(j-M-Y H:i,strtotime(next month)); $last_month = date(j-M-Y H:i,strtotime(last month)); echo Last Month: $last_month BR; echo Today: $today BR; echo Next Month: $next_month BR; ?

I need an external polling application that needs to feed data into a database. The database interface is web driven through php. The problem with php is that it cannot spawn itself to multiple threads - this is a requirement of my poller to reduce the poll time. Perl works perfectly for this, but I do not want to re-invent all database abstraction in perl. So is it practical, secure, the right thing to have the poller in perl posting XML data to a php web page which then feeds data into the database? Any other suggestions?

[PHP] SSL_SESSION_ID detecting client renegotiate
Hello, I am considering using SSL_SESSION_IDs as part of my authentication/session management scheme. (Using Apache, mod_ssl, PHP 4.1.2) However, the fact that for example Internet Explorer forces renogiate of the SSL session (every 2 minutes) causes problems to the session management. Is there any way to know (interact with apache mod_ssl) when the renogiation is done. By example, the goal would be to know within PHP if the newly renegotiated SSL_SESSION_ID 123671253761253765123765312 is continuation to the previous SSL_SESSION_ID for the logged-in user or to notice if the SSL session is comptely fresh and new and does not have anything to do with previous session. If I understood the SSL documentation correctly, this should be possible as I understood that there is some inheritance in the renogotiation. Or am I completely lost here and the SSL session is built from scratch upon renogitation.

[PHP] Sessions and Load Balancing
Dear group, My hosting provider is using Load Balancing (4 servers, Apache 1.13.20 / PHP 4.1.2). I started the developing of a site with the idea of using sessions. Can I continue using sessions when I point the session_save_path to a directory on my domein? Or do I run into problems? I thought that the SID returned to every browser (client), so when I store the session on my domein, every server can find the ID, right?

[PHP] Newbie Book Database Question
Howdy, I have been developing with ColdFusion for nearly five years and want to learn PHP.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Book Database Question
I recommend The Manual. www.php.net/manual/en/ Honestly it's the best book you can read in the beginning. There are tons of examples and comments and you'll know exactly what's going on. No, you don't have to read every function, but at least read the first page for each category, that'll give you an idea of where to look when you have questions. After you've read that, then start on some tutorials. I've never touched a book for PHP. You don't need it with all of the free resources online. As for databases, yeah, MySQL is generally more popular because it's easy to use and is available on almost any platform. I've never seen a windows binary for PGSQL, although you can compile it yourself. PG is more robust and implements more features, but for most websites, these are features you'll never need.

Re: [PHP] Parse Error - Help? (AGAIN)
I don't have your original code (which, btw, you shoudn't ever post that
much code without explicitly saying what the error was, what line it was
one, highlighting that line, and saying what you've done so far), but these
errors are caused by not giving a default value to a variable, basically.
If you have something like this:
if($id = 5)
{
//whatever
}
and $id hasn't been assigned a value, then you'll get that warning. In
previous versions of PHP, you wouldn't get the warning, you'd just get
FALSE.
So, before you test the value of a variable, or echo the value out, make
sure you've assigned it something.
if(!isset($id)) { $id = 0; }
Hopefully that's not too confusingit's hard to explain.

Copy and paste the parse error into your e-mail. Also, try placing

The above is a creative way around using superglobals, but I recommend
that you start learning PHP using them. An excellent, if somewhat easy,
challenge will be to take any of the PHP books (every single one I've
seen has used the deprecated register_globals=on method), use it to
learn PHP, and simultaneously use the appropriate superglobal prefix for
the variables. Thus, when the PHP book discusses making a GET method
form or including vars on the querystring in a href attribute, make sure
that in the receiving script you use $_GET['varname'] instead of
$varname (as the book will no doubt use). Same for $_COOKIE, $_SERVER,
$_SESSION, $_SERVER (read the man page for this one), and $_POST.

[PHP] Structuring script execution
Hi,
A page is loaded from two different places.
1st call:

2nd call:
a href=cribsheet.html?action=*download=txt
Inside cribsheet.html:
if ( $action == '*') {
if ( isset( $download ) {
downloadFile( $download );
}
echo 'html';
echo 'head';
...
echo '/body ';
echo '/html';
}
function downloadFile( $type ) {
header ...
$fp = fopen( $txtfile, r );
fpassthru( $fp );
exit;
/* need exit else the rest of the script is output as well */
}
On the first call everything is fine.
On the 2nd call (of course) the script stops execution. even sending
header( Location: otherfile.html) won't work 'cos I get a msg saying
headers already sent.
I *think* my problem is working out how to structure which file contains what
but for the life of me I can't figure it out - just go round in circles.

Re: [PHP] how to make array_search start from 0?
Just looking at the manual here and it explains quite specifically that
array_search() is meant to be used with associative arrays, not indexed
arrays. I think the best way to do what you want is to do is to set up a
loop and test each index against eregi(); If true then you know your index.

RE: [PHP] Parse Error - Help? (AGAIN)
What does the ! in if(!isset($id)) { $id = 0; } do?
It checks for the false return. If isset($id) returns false then the
'if' statement with (!) returns you true, and, as you just guessed, it
will assign a (0) to $id.
this bit does in general: checks if $id has been assigned anything, if
it's empty it gets assigned 0. Correct? Then I can use if($id)
statements later on without having PHP return Undefined Variable

To stop receiving the messages from undefined variables add this at top

Re: [PHP] how to make array_search start from 0?
If the key is 0, array_search will return 0, it does not
start at 1.
$arr = array('apple','banana','cranberry');
$key = array_search('apple', $arr);
print $key; // 0
If 'apple' was not found, $key would then equal
to boolean false. Be sure to use === false
to check failure because 0 == false. For example:
$fruit = array('apple','banana','cranberry');
$findme = 'apple';
if (($key = array_search($findme, $fruit)) !== false) {
print Key ($key) was found from value $findme;
} else {
print Sorry, $findme was not found in array \$fruit;
}
Again, remember, 0 == false. == !=, === !==. So, 0 !== false.
Wow that sounds confusing. :) Also consider the sexy array_keys()
function.

Doh! My apologies you're absolutely right. I just tested it.
-
$search = 'bar';
//$myarray = array ('hello' = 'world', 'language' = 'php', 'foo' =
'bar');
$myarray = array ('world', 'php', 'bar');
$result = array_search($search, $myarray);
echo $result;
-
Using the associative array array_search() returns 'foo' and using the
indexed array it returns '2'. So it works with both array types and does
not require an array starting at index 1. Live and learn. :)

Re: [PHP] Parse Error - Help? (AGAIN)
I guess I missed the last line part, my bad.
Yes, you've got the idea for isset(). ! means NOT. So isset($id) will check
to see if $id is set, it doesn't care what the value is. !isset($id) will
see if $id is NOT set. A variable can be set and have an empty value, or be
false, null, etc.
The idea behind undefined variable is that you must assign a default value
to to the variable before you print it out or use it in a comparison. You
can adjust your error_reporting() so you don't get these errors, but it's
better to leave it on and make your code work. You can see they are just
warnings, and your code will still work. It's an easy way to find typo'd
variable names. Also, when register_globals is ON, you might use $id and
expect the value to be passed through the URL. By getting this warning when
you check $id, you should realize that the variable needs to be validated,
because it can be anything coming through the URL.
Hope that helps.

1.
No, it doesn't. The key here is in the big warning at the bottom of the manual entry
for array_search (http://www.php.net/array_search), which says:
==
Warning
This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which
evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or . Please read the section on Booleans for more
information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.
==
So, if what you search for is at key 0, array_search will return zero, which evaluates
to FALSE if you do an == (or !=) test on it. Unfortunately, the return value for not
found changed for version 4.2.0 -- it used to be NULL, but is now FALSE, so you will
have to write your test accordingly. Something like this should do it:
Versions prior to 4.2.0:
$i = array_search('abc', $arr);
if (!isnull($i)):
// 'abc' was found
endif;
4.2.0 and up:
$i = array_search('abc', $arr);
if ($i!==FALSE):
// 'abc' was found
endif;
Cheers!

Re: [PHP] how to make array_search start from 0?
I can see what u are saying. Its all about the ===
Anyhow.. this thing does not work in a loop. I guess this is my prob. There
might be something wrong with the boolean. I tryed it with different
settings, but still wrong:
Here is what I mean:
$fruit = array('apple','banana','cranberry');
$findme = array('apple', 'notlisted');
foreach($findme AS $value){
if (($key = array_search($value, $fruit)) !== false) {
print Key ($key) was found from value $valuebr;
} else {
print Sorry, $value was not found in array \$fruitbr;
}
}
Replys:
Key (0) was found from value apple
Key () was found from value notlisted
So there must be still something wron in th stmt.
Thanx for your help,
Andy

If the key is 0, array_search will return 0, it does not
start at 1.
$arr = array('apple','banana','cranberry');
$key = array_search('apple', $arr);
print $key; // 0
If 'apple' was not found, $key would then equal
to boolean false. Be sure to use === false
to check failure because 0 == false. For example:
$fruit = array('apple','banana','cranberry');
$findme = 'apple';
if (($key = array_search($findme, $fruit)) !== false) {
print Key ($key) was found from value $findme;
} else {
print Sorry, $findme was not found in array \$fruit;
}
Again, remember, 0 == false. == !=, === !==. So, 0 !== false.
Wow that sounds confusing. :) Also consider the sexy array_keys()
function.

One more question. Is there any way to use this with part of a string?
Example:
function checkfruitlove($string){
$fruitarray = array(apples,oranges);
if($string == I love .in_array($fruitarray).!){
$return = I do too!;
}else{
$return = I don't!;

$answer = chechfruitlove(I love oranges!); //returns I do too!
$answer = chechfruitlove(I love pears!); //returns I don't!
[PHP] array_search
thats why you do not have a key which is not found. Try to replace $findme
withthis: $findme = array('banana', 'cranberry', 'not in there');
Will return: Key () was found for value not in there
So there is a bug.. but well hidden :-(

[PHP] PHP Security Leak
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to make a login site more secure. Since I'm not really sure if I've explained myself well enough and don't really know how else to say it, I'll just give examples and then you guys can follow suit and mention some oversights: I have a regular logon: username and password. What it does is, when the user types in a name and pword, it forwards to another PHP page (a 'middleman' page that is there just to compare usernames and pwords), validates by checking the SQL database, then header forwards to the login page. A cookie is created, and voila, you're allowed into what we'll call the 'account pages'. Now, here's my 'security' (notice the quotes): 1. You can't log in when the URL includes a username and/or a password (so that no one can make direct links). 2. Same with an account page: you're redirected to the login page if you include a username and pword when linking to an account page. 3. The 'middleman' page also has this protection: you cna't directly link to it with a username and pword in the URL. Basically, users can't get into anything when they include a username and pword in the URL. 4.

[PHP] using html select as array
Hi list, In my system I have multiples choices of language that user selects using drop down menus. So I've named this dropdows language[] and grab it as php array, and with looo i insert it into mysql as registers. But now i need to put a text field that the user can type any language that is not in the dropdown. my question is how can i know when this was typed when i do the select to update the user itens. I mean, when i select and populate your preferences to update, how can i know that this info is from the input text??? Thank's Rodrigo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Re: Newbie Book Database Question
Hello, Chris Montgomery wrote: Howdy, I have been developing with ColdFusion for nearly five years and want to learn PHP. For someone who has never done anything with PHP before, what *one* book would you recommend as a good primer to get started learning PHP? Professional PHP Programming is a good one. Kind of outdated but gives you an idea about the language. For all the rest search the web. Also, do most PHPers use MySQL as your database when building dynamic web sites, or do you prefer alternative databases like Postgres? From what I have seen from afar, MySQL seems to be the dominant one, but I have read that Postgres is more robust. That is right. MySQL is good enough for many needs, but postgreSQL is much more. It is more stable, robust, quick and has way more features. From both DBs pgSQL is closer to Oracle than what mySQL is.

RE: [PHP] PHP Security Leak
-Original Message- From: Liam Gibbs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 8:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] PHP Security Leak I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to make a login site more secure. Since I'm not really sure if I've explained myself well enough and don't really know how else to say it, I'll just give examples and then you guys can follow suit and mention some oversights: I have a regular logon: username and password. What it does is, when the user types in a name and pword, it forwards to another PHP page (a 'middleman' page that is there just to compare usernames and pwords), validates by checking the SQL database, then header forwards to the login page. A cookie is created, and voila, you're allowed into what we'll call the 'account pages'. Now, here's my 'security' (notice the quotes): 1. You can't log in when the URL includes a username and/or a password (so that no one can make direct links). 2. Same with an account page: you're redirected to the login page if you include a username and pword when linking to an account page. 3. The 'middleman' page also has this protection: you cna't directly link to it with a username and pword in the URL. Basically, users can't get into anything when they include a username and pword in the URL. 4. Obviously, you don't get access if your username and password don't match anything in the database (thought I'd mention it even though it goes without saying). 5. You can't login from a page that isn't on the server. Is there any validation or security holes that I'm overlooking? at least this two: 1. Use SSL 2.

Re: [PHP] Parse Error - Help? (AGAIN)
I would agree that performance-wise, there may be little difference in how fast a script runs. And for pre-defining variables, sure you can get away without doing that and php will happily help you out. However, I find it easier to debug my code knowing whether or not I remembered to assign a value to my variable and where the heck it got assigned from. :-) I would also like to point out that the combo of not registering globals and having all errors reported will ensure you get the right data type when using the same variable names for _POST, _SESSION, et cetera data. I had a few scripts that behaved differently than I though because I was looking for the value of $foo and not realizing that my $foo was grabbing my session data instead of what I thought I was assigning it to. I changed my php.ini and now I tear out far less hair this way ;-) # Nathan - Original Message - From: Maxim Maletsky (PHPBeginner.com) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Nathan' [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'PHP' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 12:18 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Parse Error - Help? (AGAIN) You know, I once said the same: better fix the notices and keep the code clean. But as I've done several performance tests I came to a conclusion that there's no much difference debugging the code yourself or let PHP doing it. Often predefining manually a variable resulted to me being even more 'expensive' then when PHP debugs it. I think it is wise using this feature of PHP. The only reason not to is for having the full control of your code.

(AGAIN) I'll second that one... always better to code with register_globals = Off and E_ALL reporting level IMHO. # Nathan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
