Re: [PHP] Build static with Apache 2.0.35
I don't know an answer to your first question, but I 'm currently running PHP under Apache 2.0.35 and I could only get it work through apxs2 and only with the very latest PHP version (4.3.0-cvs).

Re: [PHP] best way to read a file
you didn't mention file() that one can be pratical because it returns an array of lines (linefeed intact, implode with empty string), but can be memory consuming for large files, because the entire file is in memory the at the same time. some times you don't need the entire file (at a time) .. for example fread() allows you to read a specific length fgets() one text line at a time with max length fgetss() ..and strip HTML.. fgetcsv() or return a line from a .csv as an array.. not really ambiguous, and I think these functions being flexible enough to handle other resource types can hardly be seen as a disadvantage.. bvr. Erik Price wrote: This is a really simple question that I've wondered for a while now... what is the best way to read a file? There are so many different functions for reading files that I have no idea which I should use. readfile() returns its values to standard output -- I don't want to use this, since my script needs to load the data in the file into a variable (it's a .xsl file). fgets() looks like it could work if I made an array out of each line read and then imploded them. fread() looks like the 'main' function for reading from files. fpassthru() -- I guess if you're already in the middle of a file it's a good way to finish? There are other functions for reading files, but they are less ambiguous, with purposes like reading from sockets or certain kinds of files.

Re: [PHP] Why?
2. Definition and Etymology bar /bar/ n. [JARGON] 1. The second metasyntactic variable, after foo and before baz. Suppose we have two functions: FOO and BAR. FOO calls BAR 2. Often appended to foo to produce foobar. foo /foo/ 1. interj. Term of disgust. 2. Used very generally as a sample name for absolutely anything, esp. programs and files (esp. scratch files). 3. First on the standard list of metasyntactic variables used in syntax examples (bar, baz, qux, quux, corge, grault, garply, waldo, fred, plugh, xyzzy, thud). [JARGON] When used in connection with `bar' it is generally traced to the WW II era Army slang acronym FUBAR (`Fucked Up Beyond All Repair'), later modified to foobar. Early versions of the Jargon File [JARGON] interpreted this change as a post-war bowdlerization, but it now seems more likely that FUBAR was itself a derivative of `foo' perhaps influenced by German `furchtbar' (terrible) - `foobar' may actually have been the original form.

Re: [PHP] best way to read a file
not really ambiguous,
(actually, that's what I was saying, that they are -less- ambiguous,
and more specific, but no big deal on that little matter).
ok, misunderstood
Every time I try to use one of these functions, I get an error message
from my browser (not from PHP) that the attempt to load the URL
failed. Is this a sign of running into memory problems? If so, what
can I do about it? It seems that the only file-reading function that
doesn't create this error message in my script is fgets(), but as soon
as I try to implode the lines I pulled with fgets() into one string, I
get the error message again. In other words, every time I try to pull
my XSL file into my script, it happens.
(I would not have imagined I would run out of memory b/c I have
php.ini set to 16M per script and the XSL file is only 8kB, though the
script does do a lot of things.)
Anybody know what's going on here?
Try not to use MSIE when developing or install the debug thingie,
otherwise you will not get sensible feedback on what went wrong during
page load..
Anyway, it's probably not the memory limit, because in that case PHP
reports an error..
Did you even enable-memory-limit ?? If you did, use can try this with
your httpd.conf :
Add somewhere global :
LogFormat %h %l %u %t \%r\ %s %b %{mod_php_memory_usage}n php
Add to mainserver/virtualhost:
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log php
This adds an extra value to the access log entries that indicates the
largest number of bytes of memory used by the script at a time.

Hi, It all depends on what you want Ofcourse you could output the labels somehow and just print that For example by generating HTML or PDF Another option is to connect to MySQL through ODBC and use the data as you would using an MSAccess database I don't think there a builtin functions that allow you to print directly from PHP, however there may be several ways to accomplish this For example you could use COM to open Word with a template document, paste the label text and print it bvr Ivan Carey wrote: Hello and thanks for your help how do I use php and mysql to print mailing lables?

Re: [PHP] HELP SECOND TIME - header for download gzip file using IE and Netscape with HTTP and HTTPS
First thing, do you want the visitor to receive the file as-is (gz encoded) ? Or should it be decoded automatically to text ? In the first case, the browser shouldn't be aware of the encoding type (Content-Encoding header). You should only send 1 Content-Type header. The Content-Disposition header is nothing but trouble, and this is mainly caused by MSIE 5.5 . Microsoft managed to supply an update that changes the behaviour of MSIE 5.5 regarding this while the version still is 5.5 .. So there's no way to tell what header to sent for it to work properly. You could also expiriment with the extra keywords 'inline' and 'attachment'. header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=text.gz' ); But as I said, since browser behaviour varies on this header (even within same browser type/version) it's not easy to implement correctly for all browsers. I'm also not sure wether this header made it to the HTTP1.1 specs, but if you still want to use it I recommend consulting the website of W3C (http://www.w3c.org/), they should at least have some notes about it. bvr.

You don't need regular expressions for this. To match case insensitive, just upper or lower case both strings and use strpos() to find an occurence.

Re: [PHP] Telnet
You can send mail using PHP's mail() function.
On windows this works with regular SMTP (mail server),
on UNIX it executes a binary (local delivery agent) that
may handle the message as desired.
If you really want to sent through a telnet service, you can
fsockopen() to the telnet server and regular file functions
to send login stuff and run the appropiatemail software on
the server ('sendmail'?).
Ofcourse this is not recommended, because it has unnecessary
overhead and you'd be better off using an SMTP script or class
(as noted before) or make one yourself according to the 'SMTP RFC'
(put that in google).

Hi! You could use a plain form and JavaScript to do this. It's fairly simple and it makes for nice little progress bars and graphs and other 'realtime' info. A few tips: - first output the form (completely) - use *implicit* flushing when outputting your JS. - use a new SCRIPT .. /SCRIPT part every time you sent commands (for Netscape) - do all calculations and stuff in PHP, minimize your JS code to something like echo(document.myform.mytext.value = ' . addslashes($newval) .

Re: [PHP] How to find out what country the visitor comes from
The way Google determines what language to use is by checking the Accept-Language header which is added by your browser.

Check with phpinfo() or print_r($_SERVER); Although IP may be more reliable to determine the local language of the visitor's country, it may not at all be the *preferred* language of the visitor.

Re: [PHP] difference !!??
Ok, 1 is IMO not correct, a string should be quoted. 2 and 3 make no practical difference in this situation, although 2 is probably somewhat faster because PHP doesn't substitute variables with their value when they're within single quotes. for code readability it is probaby best if you always use double quotes, and only if it saves a whole lot of escaping $'s and double quotes within the string use single quotes. note that if you like to include both single and double quotes in a long string (HTML for example) but still want to be able to use variables in it, you can use 'heredoc notation'. bvr.

Re: [PHP] how to pass value from popup window to php program
For info on JavaScript functions, like window.open() use google to find resources.
For passing back values to PHP you need a script that does 2 things:
- Ask for the email address
- Handle the address with PHP
Because PHP will not wait for a user to put in it's e-mail address,
these are two separate pieces of code.
You can do this for example by checking if the email address has
been entered:
?php // myscript.phtml
if ($email)
{
// Part 1
} else
{
// Part 2
}
?
Part 1 handles the email address the way you want
Part 2 can be done in a number of ways, as long as the e-mail address
gets entered and send back to the script.
A simple way is using a form:
FORM ACTION=myscript.phtml
INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=email
/FORM
But you could also use JavaScript to create a dialog
and 'redirect' to your script, passing the email address
in the URL, probably something like:
email = prompt(Please enter your address);
document.window.location.href = myscript.phtml?email= + escape(email);

Lose the single quotes, quoting a single variable is nonsense.

The reason it doesn't work is that this subtitution is only performed on

Re: [PHP] Yet another regex question
Hi, To prevent user input from messing with your query you just need to escape the characters used to delimit query values. MySQL for example uses ' (single quote) to delimit values so you should use addslashes() on all values. This will make inserting values containing the ' character work and prevent user input from manipulating your script to run arbitrary queries on your DB server. The practical thing about MySQL is that it accepts quote delimited values even for integer fields. However, if you want to make a 'db safe' integer you can use $var = (int)$var; For more advanced input validation, regular expressions can be very adequate but I'd recommend separating this from previous mentioned 'escaping' which is simply needed for your DB to function properly and safe. greets, bvr.

It returns the STARTING POINT of the nth occurrance of the string. If you
are looking for the first occurrance of the word test and test covers
positions 10-13, the function returns 10, just like the built-in functions
strpos() and strrpos(). $string is the string to be searched; $search is
what you are searcing for; $nth is the number of the occurrance you are
looking for.
Hope you all can make use of this!

Re: [PHP] gd library with GIF support
Hi, The GIF enabled versions are not officially available anymore for reasons stated on GD's website http://www.boutell.com/gd . And even if you were able to get hold of a copy, compiling it against the latest PHP is not that easy and may become harder in time. Therefore it would be recommended to avoid problems in the future and use PNG instead, however, if you want to use transparency in your images bear in mind that a number of implementations do not support this. For example the quicktime plugin that handles PNGs in Netscape 4.x . Unfortunately this makes it impossible to use GD for certain purposes, I had this problem when I was trying to migrate websites from PHP 3 to the latest PHP 4 and was unable to compile the older GD lib against PHP versions 4.05pl1 . Also check this effort to compile later versions of GD with GIF *and* PNG support: http://www.acc.ne.jp/~tam/GD/index.en.html bvr.

RE: [PHP] Fwd: PhpSmsSend remote execute commands bug
I agree, but it may be usefull to tell those newbies that when you execute a command from PHP that will get some parameters from an external source (like a form or a get variable) ALWAYS use the escapeshellcmd() function to prevent users from executing arbitrary commands. bvr.

[PHP] Syntax highlighting through Apache (Re: [PHP] Got a problem I cant figure out)
I just thought of this good tip: To show the highlighted php source without constanly renaming your scripts you can add the the following to your httpd.conf : Alias /src /your/document/root LocationMatch /src/* ForceType application/x-httpd-php-source /LocationMatch Now, for example to show the source of http://localhost/index.phtml you can use http://localhost/src/index.phtml bvr.

Re: [PHP] MySQL Newbie
Hi, You can do the exact same thing but instead of connecting to localhost, you connect to the remote server. To do this with the mysql monitor tool, use the -h command line option, followed by the hostname or IP of the server. If you cannot access the online database directly (possibly for security matters) you can write a simple PHP script that runs your query/queries, upload it to the server and point your browser to it. Creating tables and records like you mention is exactly the same this way, since they're just plain queries. Ofcourse in both cases you would need a MySQL login that has permission to CREATE, which is granted separately from INSERT or UPDATE. bvr.

Re: [PHP] Split files
=Hmm, I'm still come at it from the other way around (all due respect to Jason) - but then I don't recall OpSys details, or know if there is a utility/tool for the job in your choice of OpSys. Well unless it's a *really* obscure OS I'm sure there must be some readily available file splitter utility. No point doing more work than necessary by writing your own file splitting routine :) Think about a multi-volume archiver, like tar.

Re: [PHP] open/read file/directory and file test
Hi! You can find the PHP !manual! at http://www.php.net/manual Try searching for open , opendir, readdir .. or whatever other function you're looking for. If that doesn't give you an answer straight away, you could go back to the manual index and find the appropriate category, like Filesystem functions. About question 3, I think it depends on what you want, but it's possible to get the access time of a file; also see chapter Filesystem functions. Also search the manual for preg (if you didn't figure yet) to see how to use perl style regular expressions. bvr.
