[PHP] How to show user country (internet connection) on a page
Hi everyone,
I would like to show the country of the user provider during the navigation.
I haven't problem with provider located in europe, simply this code:
$indirizzo_cliente = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR];
$i=0;
$fp = file
(http://www.ripe.net/whois?form_type=simplefull_query_string=searchtext=$
indirizzo_cliente);
while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fp)) {
if(strstr($line,country)!=){ // or other fields like person, address
etc etc
$almenouno = true;
$lineaok[$i]=$line;
$i = $i +1;
}
}
if($almenouno==true){
echo Dati rilevati:BR;
}
for($i=0;$icount($lineaok);$i++){
echo $lineaok[$i].br;
}
THE PROBLEM cames when a want to show the country of providers located in NORTH
AMERICA,
in this case I have to send the query by POST (ARIN DATABASE).
So I can't match both the results of the two interrogation and then choose the
right one in the same php page.

[PHP] die function
Hi all,
I have a machine that must insert in cron in a mysql db in another
remote machine.
The problem is that I cannot know if the connection in the first
machine (adsl) go down because no entry in the machine log is
generated. I would like to redirect the die function in a e-mail that
say me what happens.
I found a script
?php
function die_script($errmsg)
{
print $errmsg . /body/html;
die;
}
?
and I tried to insert a mail() before die function but I cannot call
the function in this way:
or die(Connection failed: . die_script());
But no email is generated.
How can I do?
Thanks

Re: [PHP] Re: Renaming Directories
Hello Daniel!
In the code it says:
echo rename($path_old, $path_new) ? done\n : failed\n;
I assume that this line is supposed to actually rename the directory.
Why did you wrote echo before rename?
Try to change the code to:
if (!rename($path_old,$path_new)) {
echo failed\n;
}
else
{
echo done\n;
}
May this helps!

You want to search it via DOMXpath-query() using a value that comes from a $_POST value. If the page that posts the data via a form to the search script IS NOT encoded in UTF-8, then the value must be converted to UTF-8 before it is used in the query expression. Else, if the posting page IS UTF-8 encoded, then the $_POST data does not need to be converted before being used in the expression. Is this correct? AFAIK... yes, this is correct. Also, if the $_POST data comes from a UTF-8 encoded page, and it needs to be sanitized before use, will the basic PHP string functions work on the data (e.g. htmlentities, stripslashes, trim, preg_replace, etc)? If not what do I have to do? I believe that PHP uses ISO-8859-1 as the default encoding, but there are ways around it. htmlentities() will let you specify UTF-8 encoding. Remember that your DOMDocument may / may not be whitespace-sensitive, so be careful about how / if you trim(). I don't know how well stripslashes, preg_replace, etc. work with UTF-8.

Perhaps, do db query first, then for each option (perhaps as a foreach

Steve,
These can be a PITA. Here's how I've done it.
1. Create a function to determine which is selected:
function is_selected( $option_expression )
{
if ($option_expression)
{
$retval = selected;
}
else
{
$retval = ;
}
return $retval;
} // end of function is_selected
2. Build your list of selection, in this case a list of classifications
fetched from a database;
$option_class is the variable holding the list of options:
$sql = select * from class;
$result = mysql_query( $sql );
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
{
$nClassKey = $row[nClassKey];
$cClass = $row[cClass];
$selectval = is_selected( $nClassKey == $nClass );
$option_class .= option value = \$nClassKey\
$selectval $cClass/option;
} // end while $row = mysql_fetch...
3. Then display it this way in the form:
Select name=nClass
? echo $option_class ?
/select
Hope this is helpful - Miles

Re: [PHP] Forms
The way I did:
# taking values from DB
$query = mysql_query(select * from VALUES)
$result = mysql_fet_array($query);
#create an array of all values of dropdow menu
$values = arra('value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4');
# create SELECT form using for loop
echo 'select name=category id=categoryoption selected=true
value=Option ValueOption Value/optionoption
value=line-/option';
for($i=0; $icount($values); $i++)
{
# if value from DB is equal to value in SELECT form set it as SELECTED
$selected = ($result['value_from_db'] == $values[$i]) ? 'SELECTED' : '';
echo 'option value='.$values[$i].' '.$selected.'
'.$values[$i].'/option';
}
echo '/select';
and it work just fine for me

Hello, This is the only programming list I participate in so that is why I'm asking my question here. I hope no one objects greatly! So my question has to do with planning a project (not necessarily a website in general, but a programming project specifically). I've got Visio 2003 and a pad of paper with a pencil. I'm pretty much willing to try out different methods although I prefer a visual approach. I've googled on this subject quite a bit in the past but haven't really found anything that satisfies me. That is, I've found some short documents on flow charting, but nothing directly related to programming (and what symbols to use, or how detailed to get). I've also tried just writing out some pseudo-code but that always tends to get a little messy when I try it. If I start writing code outright I find myself rethinking a lot stuff once I'm already pretty entrenched in what I've got. Of course this turns into being a major pain going back and revamping stuff. Anyway, I'd like to hear some feedback from the audience as far as what works/doesn't work for you as well as some keyword recommendations that I can feed Google with.

AD
You'll need calculate.php to setcookie(). Then on the *next* index.php
invocation $_COOKIE['yourcookie'] should get updated with the value you
wrote to the cookie.
The only way to refresh calculate.php is to finish output to the
browser and then refresh index.php. Although perhaps using a session is
better than using a cookie in this case?
I guess I don't grok your problem because the way you described it seems
trivial.
?php
function calculate($var) { return The value of var is $var; }
/** From the browser / cookie / whatever */
$input = 11;
$output = calculate($input);
setcookie('yourcookie', $output);
/** And now you do whatever you want with output */

[PHP] Building modular applications (long)
Hello, So I was thinking about building some modularity into future projects and wanted to bounce some ideas off my fellow list members. My definition of modular application is: A modular application is one that can have it's major functions added/removed with the click of a button, or the creating/deleting of a file without breaking the application on any level. The user should be able to add/remove a module* from the filesystem and have the application update itself automatically without any (or very little) interaction with the user of the application. For example, here is what I've come up with at this point for how a modular application could be built. First of all there would need to be some kind of script that controls/integrats/manages the individual modules. I imagine this task to be performed within an include file that is included at the top of every file in the application (let's call it adjuster.php). This include file would determine how to build the main menu based on certain factors within the applications directory tree. Said another way, this file would take an inventory of the available modules and build a menu based on what it found. In this way a module could be added/removed without any interaction** from the user and the menu would update automatically. This in and of itself is not difficult. What I think the difficult part of it will be is finding the appropriate way to construct modules. At this point I'm imaging a directory called modules/ where each directory within the modules/ directory is a module itself. It would contain all the classes and functions associated with that module as well as a definition file for that module (could be a simple .txt file). Adjuster.php would read the modules/ directory and recursively discover each module and then build the main menu accordingly. Having said all that I think what I'm looking for is some feedback from experienced person(s) on the list with building modular applications. I can see this being really helpful for something like a shopping cart, CRM, or CMS app. Thanks, Chris. * In the short time I've been thinking about what a module is I've determined it to be one of a few things (or a combination thereof). A module could be (a) a single file, (b) a set of files, or (c) a directory containing one or more files and/or directories. ** Not having any interaction with the user does not have to be a requirement, but it would sure be helpful when upgrading the application. For example: Customer comes to your website, buys a new module (or downloads for free, however you choose to license the software), and simply adds it to the module repository. Yadda yadda yadda, a new, full functional menu option is available. p.s. Are there any lists out there that deal with programming in general? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Some snippets of ideas that should be useful to you:
Build a table that relates secret tokens to filenames:
create table downloads (
token char(32) unique not null primary key,
filename varchar(255),
whattime time_stamp
);
Generate a secret token:
$token = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
Put the file they asked for and the token in the table:
$query = insert into downloads (token, filename) values ('$token',
'$download');

Re: [PHP] Re: http authentication with safe mode enabled?!
I have no idea what to do to deal with this. There is only one .htaccess file, which is in the top-level directory of my account with my ISP. And I've even put You can always add more .htaccess files in more directories, or edit the one that's there. AuthType None in there, but it doesn't change anything. The fact that the uid of the script is appended to the realm specified shouldn't require any changes in the code, or should it? No. It would only invalidate any saved logins or passwords from the old realm being managed by the browser. Different realm == different login/credentials needed. I really don't have any more ideas of what to do. What is probably important is that apparently my ISP upgraded his version of PHP to 4.3.10 which is now CGI instead of a module. That's your ISP being silly, not PHP 4.3.10 changing That said, HTTP Authentication WILL NOT WORK with CGI. It is disabled in PHP source because, because your password would be transmitted insecurely from Apache to PHP, and the PHP Team is not willing to do that for obvious reasons.

Re: [PHP] Re: fopen
On Sat, March 19, 2005 6:48 am, John Taylor-Johnston said:
chmod($defaultfile, 666);
http://php.net/chmod
has examples that tell you exactly why this is wrong...
666 is decimal.
The 666 you want is Octal.
They ain't the same number.
What does the at_sign mean at the start of this line?
@ $results = fopen($datafilename, w+);
@ means you are IGNORING any errors this generates.
It's usually a really bad idea unless you have some more code for error
checking.
if (!$results) { die (Our results file could not be opened for writing.
Your score was not recorded. Please contact the person responsible and
try again later.); }
flock($results, 2); #lock file for writing
fwrite($results, $filestr); #write $filestr to $results
flock($results, 3); #unlock file
fclose($results); #close file
This is an incorrect way to try to flock a file for writing.
You should:
1) Open the file for READING.
2) flock that file handle, so only YOU have access to that file.
3) Re-open the file for WRITING, now that you have control.
4) Write your data
5) Release the lock.
Your application, as it stands now, has a race condition between the open
for writing and the flock, which sooner or later, WILL bite you in the
ass.
Probably.
Maybe.
If $filestr is small enough, the Linux OS has locking built-in. Windows
may or may not (and I don't care enough about Windows to remember, much
less look it up). FreeBSD and other OSes may or may not also have locking
at OS layer. I wouldn't rely on it, though, since it's trivial to do the
5 steps above.

Re: [PHP] Download system
How about setting up symbolic links on the server in a tmp directory. You could use the values from your database table to create the sym links. Have the sym link be the token name and then have it linked to the real file name. You could then have a cron job running to clear the sym links at set intervals.

Re: [PHP] Custom errors handling class problem
On Fri, March 18, 2005 12:46 am, Mihai Frisan said: I use a custom errors handling class, which set one of its methods as the php errors handler. All works well when I use this class in a file with only procedural code (all errors are caught by the custom errors handling class), but if I instantiate another class in this file, and in this class I have a error, this error is not caught by the custom errors handling class that I defined, instead is caught by the implicit php error handler. My question is what can I do to make my custom error handling class catch all the errors, even if they are in another class that I have instantiated? Some errors are simply too heinous for PHP set_error_handler to catch. See user notes on php.net/set_error_handler for discussion. I think that's where it is... Maybe in bugs.php.net At any rate, if you are hitting one of these errors, it has nothing to do with your class, and everything to do with what set_error_handler simply cannot cope with. If your PHP source code simply cannot be parsed, those errors will not get caught by set_error_handler. That could be what's in your class file. You'd have to tell us the error message and maybe even show us the lines near the PHP error message. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Full-text searches sucks?
Hey all,
I just put in a search function for a site using mySql full text, i am
running it on my local server for now.
I am running it on two fields: ad_sub and ad_text
The results i getting are really quite bad, this is how i am testing it out:
1. I wrote an insert statement and looped it 700 times, so i have 700 test
records in the db which are identical
2. I found two words which are in the ad_text of the insert statement and
wrote a search statement like so:
SELECT *,
MATCH(ad_sub, ad_text) AGAINST('want to') AS score
FROM blk_ads
WHERE MATCH(ad_sub, ad_text) AGAINST('want to')
ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 0,40;
2a. I have checked many times and this text want to use a full. is
present in the ad_text field
but mysql gives me no results.
Reading up on full-text I came accross this useful piece of info:
you should add at least 3 rows to the table before you try to match
anything, and what you're searching for should only be contained in one of
the three rows. This is because of the 50% threshold. If you insert only one
row, then now matter what you search for, it is in 50% or more of the rows
in the table, and therefore disregarded
which means because I i getting a match for well over 50% of the
records...its disregarding it.
Now i am in two minds if i should use this or go back to the same old dirty
way...of exploding the search and using LIKE '%%' for each word
Comments/suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan

Re: [PHP] ODBC Errors and Undefined functions
Oh and Jay... since no one else has found the answer it would be nice if you could post your solution here when / if you find it. Accoding to the source, these two functions require something to exist: #ifdef PHP_ODBC_HAVE_FETCH_HASH PHP_FUNCTION(odbc_fetch_array); PHP_FUNCTION(odbc_fetch_object); #endif Elsewhere in the source is this: #if defined(HAVE_DBMAKER) || defined(PHP_WIN32) || defined(HAVE_IBMDB2) || defined(HAVE_UNIXODBC) # define PHP_ODBC_HAVE_FETCH_HASH 1 #endif So you need to meet one of the above requirements to have those two functions available. According to the changelog, many of these checks were added in early 2003 (4.3.2) not that this has to do with you but when documented these should be taken into account.

flock($results, 3); #unlock file
fclose($results); #close file
This is an incorrect way to try to flock a file for writing.
You should:
1) Open the file for READING.
2) flock that file handle, so only YOU have access to that file.
3) Re-open the file for WRITING, now that you have control.
4) Write your data
5) Release the lock.
Your application, as it stands now, has a race condition between the open
for writing and the flock, which sooner or later, WILL bite you in the
ass.
Probably.
Maybe.
If $filestr is small enough, the Linux OS has locking built-in. Windows
may or may not (and I don't care enough about Windows to remember, much
less look it up). FreeBSD and other OSes may or may not also have locking
at OS layer. I wouldn't rely on it, though, since it's trivial to do the
5 steps above.

your example looks pretty solid, but the code above does not escape the
$StudentNumber, $Exercise1, and $Exercise2 variables. If any of these
variables contain data that when placed into the SQL string interferes
with the SQL itself, you'll have unexpected failures and also a security
hole if untrusted users can populate those variables. The solution is
to wrap any strings or untrusted input like that in a call to
mysql_escape_string(), like so:
$sql = INSERT INTO $table
(StudentNumber,Exercise1,Exercise2) values ('.
mysql_escape_string($StudentNumber).','.
mysql_escape_string($Exercise1).','.
