Hi,
I'm trying to compile an extension for Postgre support which I will either
load in the php.ini or use the dl() function.
Both methods fail right now. The dl() function gives me verbose though.
I compiled the module like this:
./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/Apache/apache_13 --with-pgsql=shared
make
I entered the php_4.0.5/modules directory. I see two files pgsql.so and
pgsql.la.
I copy both to /usr/local/lib (where my libs sit as specified in php.ini).
I restart the server and I get an error saying a shared library (libpq.so.2)
cannot be found.
I went to /usr/local/pgsql/lib and copy libpq.so.2 to /usr/local/lib.
Now I get the following error:
Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/pgsql.so' -
/usr/local/lib/pgsql.so: Undefined symbol "zend_ini_boolean_displayer_cb" in
/public_html/inc/mainfile.php on line 3
Whats the deal with this? I am compiling right? Should php have produced a
different libpq.so.2 file elsewhere?
THANKS!!!

untested!
<?
if (strlen($word) < 17) { $padding = 17-strlen($word); $word .= str_repeat('
', $padding); unset($padding); }
?>
The reason for the if statement is that str_repeat will produce an error if
17-strlen($word) <= 0 and that'll break your script....of course you could
remove the if state if you're positive the # of characters in $word never
exceeds 16.

I am trying to pull html code out of a database to put in page
something like this which I have stored in a database under cheader

<title></title>
</head
<body>
<div align='center'>
<img src="../autowebpages/autosetup.gif'
width='406'height='158'border='0' alt=''></div>
It seams all I have to do is put <?echo $cheader?> at the top of the
page and it should work just like putting variables into a page.
But is does nothing. I would look in the manual or the archives but I
don't no wear or what to look for. It seams this should be simple what

It sounds to me like you're trying to store PHP code in the database and
have it execute it before sending it to the browser, is this correct?
If it is:
You can't do this just like that. Your PHP code is text in the database,
and when PHP pulls it out and echo's the whole thing it'll just send it
to the browser. You might need to use eval(). More info:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php
If it's not:
I got the wrong idea, so please explain some more. :)

Hello Richard,
Never Mind It was a stupid mistake I am querying all the data in a
function and forgot to add the variable to the global list work just
fine DU!!

Richard,
Forgive me for stating the obvious. How are you filling the variable
$cheader? If you are simply putting an echo command without pulling the info
from the database first you will obviously be getting nothing.

Hi Henry, I'm not too familiar with Cron, but check the man pages for cron
and crontab (type 'man cron' or 'man crontab', or type 'man man' if you've
not used man pages before).

Hello all,
I'm trying to loop the $HTTP_POST_VARS variable like an array like this :
$index = count($HTTP_POST_VARS);
for($i=0; i < $index; i++) {
$itens = $HTTP_POST_VARS[$i];
}
But it is not working.
Can anoyone tell me how to do it?
Thanks,
Carlos Fernando.
Oops. I've got a typo : $itens[]
Here's the correct code :

no, you are trying to get an $HTTP_POST_VAR[integer]... it is not there. The
keys are your variable names, therefore this is correct:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$val) {
$itens[] = $val;
}
will fit everything form ..POST_VARS into $itens array. BUT you'll loose all
the key names, knowing nothing of where these values came from.
try rather do this:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$val) {
$itens[$key] = $val;
}
this will result you true:
if($HTTP_POST_VARS['var_name'] == $itens['var_name']) {}

Maxim,
This is great. Thank you very much !!
I really appreciate your explanation since I did not get anything this good
in any of my books.
Since all the values that I need to retrieve are CheckBoxes that are Named
C1,C2,C3,C... I have done the following and it worked :
function RetrieveItens() {
global $Itens;
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$index = count($HTTP_POST_VARS);
for($i=1; $i <= $index; $i++) {
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["C$i"]))
$Itens[] = $HTTP_POST_VARS["C$i"];
}
$index = count($Itens);
return $index;
} // function RetrieveItens

I love ini_get() for instance, for finding "include_path".
Is there anyway to find "include_path" in php3, since ini_get() is for
>= php4?

IIRC Rasmus was one of the main people involved in bringing PHP to life, it
also resembles BASH because of involvement there, if this is wrong maybe
Rasmus can tell me off list or anyone may be able to point me to some info
that I can read.
Anyway as a general rule, there is no point in antagonising any coder that
produces code that's Open Source and under the GPL lic, now if you had a
200k contract to produce code that was specified, it would be entirely
appropriate. I read what was said as its not a focus point, but was not
ruled out.

What is the ticks feature and where can I read about it? The only
reference I could find was in the PHP-DEV archives back in September
about something you call by doing register_tick_function() . . . but
nothing substantial in the way of documentation.

Well, if anyone can be said to have invented it, it's Rasmus. At some
point around 96 (?) he was approached by Zeev and some others who
suggested to recode what was then PHP/FI from scratch. The outcome was
PHP 3.0 . . . shouldn't someone write a history of PHP?
A little anecdote I keep telling is that back in '97, when I asked my
very first question on this list, it was answered within less than half
an hour by the mighty Rasmus himself! Having worked with M$ stuff mostly
up until then if felt, wow, this is like, I post to Microsoft and get an
answer from Bill within the half-hour! I was undecided then as to which
scriptiong environment to go for. This won me over.
Cheers,
Frank
IMHO, one of the main attractions of open source software is that the
creators themselves are easy to contact. Getting a question answered by a
company usually involves talking to customer service, who gets an answer
from a supervisor, who asked the lead of the programming department, who
asked the guys in charge of the parts of the code your asking about, who
read through some internal documentation and maybe the code itself, to get
the answer.
With open source your questions are usually answered by someone who actually
works on the code itself. And sometimes the people who actually 'invented'
the product are the one's you're talking to!
To me, that's just really cool. It's the main attraction to open-source and
small companys for me; you get to talk to the people in charge. Suggest
something good and it may get done. It's like being really rich without
being able to buy anything. ;)
Which is precisely why it's wise to treat everyone in the community with an
equal level of respect, because you're already talking to the people in
charge.
The PHP Group, Zend, and individuals like Rasmus control what PHP will and
won't support. None of them do it on there own. There are no real dictators
who control the flow of PHP's future, which is how open-source is suppose to
be.

Hello.
I am having a problem when trying to "view source" via my IE browser.
When I try I get the following error:
"Cannot open the
php_submit.php C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\8DMZ02HJ\www.yahoo(1) file.
Make sure a disk is in the drive you specified."
** Above I just tried viewing source on Yahoo's home page as an example.
Now, interestingly, the "php_submit.php" file was one of the first PHP files
I created when I first started
playing around with PHP on my PC. For every time I try to "view source",
this file is mentioned as above.
The second file (ie. 'www.yahoo(1)' ) is different for every page I try to
view source on.
I have checked with Microsoft's technet and found no help and tried all that
was suggested. I am now
thinking that maybe my PHP installation may have caused this.
I do not recall this error happening JUST AFTER I installed. I think I
could for awhile and then all of
a sudden I could not.
I am posting this question in a few other PHP newsgroups as I am unsure
where this would fall under:
php.dev
php.doc
php.general
php.windows
Thanks to anyone who can assist.

yes, i have discovered recently that php is not as fast as it
is hyped to be. don't get me wrong. php is fast, but it depends
on how you arrange your scripts. if you include a lot of library
code (PEAR, etc etc), the overhead would increase and increase.
i thought php has always cached compiled scripts (since it is
fast enough for me so far), but the fact is it does not. without
cacher like apc or zend cache, mod_php is no better than cgi,
except it avoids per-request forking and configuration parsing.
why oh why doesn't php/plain zend cache scripts in the first
place? :-/

Steve

PHP is developed in a way that no feature is added that would harm the
performance or usability for the vast majority of people (80-90%+). Caching
would speed individual scripts, but what if you have a very large amount of
scripts or a few very large scripts? Or what if your scripts aren't used
very often and you don't have plenty of extra memory (and who does?)?
PHP's design would have to be significantly changed and altered, and many
people wouldn't use it anyway. Thus the perfect solution is just to use an
outside product. As we can see from APC and Zend Cache, caching is obviously
not very easy to accomplish. If it were, we probably wouldn't be talking
about this in the first place ;)
The only thing that needs to be changed in PHP, IMHO, is to allow
pre-compiled scripts to be handed to it for execution. Thus developing a
cache would be much easier, I'd imagine.
The way I'd think a cache would work best:
When a script is called rather than calling PHP, have it call Cache instead
of PHP directly.
The cache checks it's memory and sees if that script has been compiled. If
so it checks to ensure the source hasn't been altered since compiling it,
then it has PHP execute it and serves it out (if the page has no dynamic
pieces which change for each request like printing out the time, Cache could
just hand the page out without calling PHP).
Cache can be configured to store the most popular scripts, the one's that
are naturally the slowest, or it can be told to handle certain scripts
regardless of their popularity. And you would be able to tell it what's the
most memory it could use.
Sounds great, but if it were easy someone would have already done it.
Currently any language is only as fast as the programmer makes it. You can
write pure assembler code which trudges along at a truly embarrasingly slow
rate. PHP is no different. It doesn't matter what language you're using, the
more code that has to be run the slower it's going to be. The more librarys
you use the slower and more memory intensive the code. It's beyond reason to
think it would be any other way.
PHP is slower in code execution than the C it's written in. *pauses for the
"duuuhh!" reaction to wear off*
That's how every scripting language works, and it is completely, utterly,
and impossibly unavoidable.
Trading simplicity for speed is unavoidable, unless you want to code in
hexadecimal. PHP remains to be the best trade off between simplicity and
speed, which means that there will always be a faster language than PHP. But
IMHO, none are both faster and easier. Otherwise I wouldn't be using PHP ;)

Hi All,
I have a form where i let people choose a file to
upload, but i want to limit them to image files only.
So i want to only allow the .gif and .jpg to be
uploaded. What i tried doing was this:
if ($filename_type == "image/gif")
-- upload file
otherwise give an error message!
but for some reason this doesn't work. It uploads any
kind of file without complaint! So what am i doing
wrong? Is there another operator to compare strings
for instance? Or what is the problem?
Thanks!

== is perfectly fine for string comparison. Try doing a
echo "'$filename_type'";
and (generally) a phpinfo ();
to see what's passed to your script.

I'm trying to test the gz_handler, among other things, but I have no idea if
the output is actually gzip encoded.
I'm using PHP 4.0.5 as an Apache module, and here's an example of a test
script:
<?php ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>
<p>This should be compressed.
[bunch of text here just to ensure it's big enough to be encoded. the file
size is about 5700kb]
<?php ob_end_flush(); ?>
I'm using IE 5.5 to view the page, and PHP shows the
HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING"] variable as "gzip, deflate", so
the browser is saying it supports gzip content.
Now the question is, how do I actually know if the browser is getting gzip
content?

You could try using wget with a custom Http-Accept-Encoding: header

First, i'm sorry if this is an out of topic subject, but i've try to post
this email to one of postgres mailing list, and i can't find any help there.
i wish, if one of you know the solutions of my problem, you can share it
with me.
i create a little stored procedure using plpgsql from pgaccess. function
input is table name where the function will simply iterate along each record
in the table and raise notice for each of them.
when i run this function from shell command using : select
browse_table('sex'), the function error with error message 'ERROR: parser:
parse error at or near "$2"'. As i concern, this error came from the line i
mark because the function can't receive variable 'table_name' to generate
query.
i'm new here, so can some body help me, please....
the source code is below.
===========================================================
DECLARE
table_name ALIAS for $1;
each_row RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR each_row IN select * from table_name LOOP ==> i believe this's an
error source
raise notice 'row';
END LOOP;
END;
===========================================================
function description :
function name : browse_table
returns : bpchar
parameters : bpchar
language : plpgsql
-toto-
Hello,
you should execute your select statement as an dynamic query, because plpgsql assumes
that there is valid / parseable query (and not a string containing a query) after the
"IN".
( the skeleton for iterating on the result of dynamic queries)
FOR record | row IN EXECUTE text_expression LOOP
statements
END LOOP;
so you may use this as follows:
FOR each_row IN EXECUTE ''select * from '' || table_name LOOP
raise notice 'row';
END LOOP;
I don't test it, so maybe there are some mistakes in it.
It's possible too, that you must prepare your query itself into a text variable before
use in FOR IN EXECUTE LOOP.
I suspect that EXECUTE was added in v7.1.
hope this helps,
Papp Gyozo

Hi
try:

or if your db supports sub selects:
select * from score where scorevalue=(select MAX(scorevalue) from score)

ey guys,
what are the functions that's disabled if "safe_mode" is On?
also, what I just did now is disabling the functions exec() and system() just to
prevent shell commands.
but, how do i disable something like `ls -l /` ? the backticks.
Thanks guys

(1) $open is defined in frameset.php
(2) frameset.php outputs a HTML page with the frameset definition
(3) when the browser receives this, it issues two new requests, one for
"onlineview.php3" and one for "footer.html"
So you don't *include* onlineview.php3, you just reference it in the HTML
code.
do a
<frame src="onlineview.php3?open=<?= rawurlencode ($open) ?>">
instead (i.e. pass $open as parameter to onlineview.php3).

Lose the -news in the email address if replying direct
It's a feature of PHP that it automatically escapes data submitted in
PUT/GET/etc.
It's nice in that it adds to how secure PHP code is, but it can be a hassle.
Not sure if there is a function which removes escape characters will leaving
normal backslashes alone. If you REALLY need to turn it off I believe it's
the magic_quotes_gpc option.

It didn't seem to be happening with POST which is why I thought it odd, but
that probably means I didn't test properly :-)

Out of curiousity, what are the security implications? Presumably a failure
to validate input properly leading to unintended actions, but I can't think
of any examples to help me decide whether to turn this off.
Thanks for the quick response.

Most default to set magic_quotes_gpc on - otherwise, to safeguard against
(amongst many other things) mysql or other database errors, all fields that
aren't integers would have to have addslashes() applied to them. Try
entering a string like this:
$string = "<a href=\"http://www.php.net\";>PHP</a>";
$string = stripslashes($string);
$insert = @mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (string) VALUES ('$string')")
or die (mysql_error());
And see how fast you run into errors ;)

Hmm...SID is a constant, and when it's set it is present in $GLOBALS.
But when I run this:
<?php
define("CON1", "Hi there!");
echo CON1;
print_r($GLOBALS);
?>
...the constant exists, but is not present in $GLOBALS. Weird...anyone know
why this happens? (I'm using 4.0.5)

Find a good command line programm that does resing and use exec or system to
do the thumbnailing
Fopen >> fwrite >> exec.
If you are on linux I suggest using NetPBM.

nahhh, if you're doing a lot of images on a page, doing a system call for
each one would generate entirely too much overhead, imo.
check out the built-in image manipulation functions in php.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php
there is a function called ImageCopyResized() which is probably what you would need to
use. i used to have a thumbnailer written in php but alas, it's been so long ago,
that i forgot how i wrote it. :)

I'm creating a filter to re-write webpages, and everything is going fine.
I'm trying to strip out anything using the <SCRIPT> tag, and here's what I
know works:
$file = eregi_replace("<script.*>.*</script>", "<!-- RWW: Scripting
killed -->", $file);
But I use PCRE functions, so I don't want to use ereg in one place and PCRE
in another, so I tried:
$file = preg_replace("#<script.*>.*</script>#i", "<!-- RWW: Scripting
killed -->", $file);
Thing is, that doesn't work. And I don't know why.
I assume that the brackets are what is causing the trouble, but what do
those brackets do in PCRE that requires they be escaped? But escaping them
doesn't seem to work either...
So, what's wrong with the second piece of code that isn't wrong in the
first?
Thanks in advance.
