You're seeing raw data and need to specify the mime type with headers. Search the
mailing list archive, there's a few example scripts in there. Just keep in mine that
you need to create a separate script that handles the display of images.

I have php code that takes text input from a webpage and and stores it in a mysql data base.
I tried uploading small images (jpg) using basically the same syntax but they don't make it into the data base.
Does anyone know of a simple tutorial that shows how to do this?
although I'm against storing files in databases...
$file =
mysql_real_escape_string(file_get_contents($_FILES['yourfile']['tmp_name']));
$query = "INSERT INTO yourtable (imgdata) VALUES ('$file')";

Another reason for not storing images in a database - you need to spit
out the correct set of headers before you send the actual image data.

=======================================
1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP
try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You
can download a copy and use it offline also.
Please also try
http://www.php.net/manual/faq.php
for answers to frequently answered questions
about PHP (added by Christophe Chisogne).
2. Try http://www.google.com next. Searching
for "php YOUR QUERY" may fetch you relevant
information within the first 10 results.
3. There is a searchable archive of the
mailing list discussion at
http://phparch.com/mailinglists. Many of the
common topics are discussed repeatedly, and
you may get answer to your query from the
earlier discussions.
For example: One of the repeatedly discussed
question in the list is "Best PHP editor".
Everyone has his/her favourite editor.
You can get all the opinions by going through
the list archives. If you want a chosen list
try this link :
http://www.thelinuxconsultancy.co.uk/phpeditors/
(contributed by Christophe Chisogne).
4. Not sure if PHP is working or you want
find out what extensions are available to
you?
Just put the following code into a file with
a .php extension and access it through your
webserver:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
If PHP is installed you will see a page with
a lot of information on it. If PHP is not
installed (or not working correctly) your
browser will try to download the file.
(contributed by Teren and reworded by Chris W
Parker)
5. If you are stuck with a script and do not
understand what is wrong, instead of posting
the whole script, try doing some research
yourself. One useful trick is to print
the variable/sql query using print or echo
command and check whether you get what you
expected.
After diagnosing the problem, send the
details of your efforts (following steps 1,
2 & 3) and ask for help.
6. PHP is a server side scripting language.
Whatever processing PHP does takes place
BEFORE the output reaches the client.
Therefore, it is not possible to access
users' computer related information (OS,
screen size etc) using PHP. Nor can you
modify any the user side settings. You need
to go for JavaScript and ask the question in
a JavaScript list.
On the other hand, you can access the
information that is SENT by the user's
browser when a client requests a page from
your server. You can find details about
browser, OS etc as reported by
this request. - contributed by Wouter van
Vliet and reworded by Chris W Parker.
7. Provide a clear descriptive subject line.
Avoid general subjects like "Help!!", "A
Question" etc. Especially avoid blank
subjects.
8. When you want to start a new topic, open a
new mail composer and enter the mailing list
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of
replying to an existing thread and replacing
the subject and body with your message.
9. It's always a good idea to post back to
the list once you've solved your problem.
People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject
line of their email when posting solutions.
By posting your solution you're helping the
next person with the same question.

Hey Ed, there are a couple of ways that you can do it depending on your
needs. Probably the easiest way to do it is to generate the entire page
once and cache it for some period of time (1 hour?) and then serve that
page until you determine it should expire.
OR
You could create a static part of a page and a dynamic part of a page.
HTML works best for the static part (obviously :) and then you just get
the php code you need for the dynamic. If this is your choice, then
you'll probably want to cache MySQL query results and as much of the
personalized user information as possible - dbm files can work well for
this.
OR
If there isn't much personal information (but a lot of users... you DO
have a lot of users right? ;) you can be really stingy and store some
user data in a cookie. Usual rules for cookies apply here, but
basically if you have very little personalized info needed for every
page then this can be more efficient than db calls.
OR
Try using one of the software packages out there that cache php byte
code (especially if you have a lot of includes). If you absolutely
demand dynamic generation and want a performance boost, Zend can help
you out a lot in this department.
OR
Some other solution someone more clever than I has come up with :)

The best example of this that I have seen is in the mediawiki software -
the software that powers the wikipedia.
For smaller sites (i appologise if yours is a huge site) all that hard
work is not required. Just install turck MMCache if you are really
worried about speed.

I'm using two-way or two-step caching - I'll try to describe it ;)
conditions:
- wrote special class for cache handling, updating
- using smarty
- using turck mmcache
1. step
- as the data I'm passing to smarty are only array, I've decided to store
this pre-generated array in a file*.
- data are refreshed not periodically but only when changed or if they are
missing*
- in the scrip, where I'm displaying those data, the file is only included
*this is done by my caching class
2. step
- as I'm using turck mmcache, data file is precompiled into bytecode and held
in
shared memory.
I've got HUGE improvement in speed and from-time-to-time server loads disappeared.
From 0.1s per script I've got to approx 0.005s per script, ofcourse it depends on some
other conditions, but generally improvement was huge.

I looked at doing it, wrote a single PHP-page that when I accessed would
make static pages for me (numbering in the thousands), but it was all
for nought as the pieces of code I included in the web pages made for
not being able to get a PHP-session variable and hindering my cart
process. Maybe I could change the code in some way to get the correct
information where I need it, but at this time the functional way to do
it was with leaving the pages dynamic.
That being said, if all you want to do is spit out numerous pages (based
off MySQL data) and put them on the web for people to look at, I would
be happy to shoot you my PHP page to work it out.

Hey Michael, I think you really only need to check the $_SESSION array,
not necessarily each index.
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
// login
header('Location: ' . MEMBER_LOGIN_PAGE);
} else {
// session exists
}
However, if you want to have non-empty values for your session variables
you should use:
if (empty($_SESSION['username'] || empty($_SESSION['session_id']) {
// session indexes username and / or session_id are empty
header('Location: ' . MEMBER_LOGIN_PAGE);
}
There is a fine difference between isset() and empty(). Check the
online manual or this newsgroup for further discussion.

Although you can turn on zend engine 1 compatibility, if you intend to
distribute your code you cannot expect this on most servers. Another
way to pass by value is to use the __clone method.
function test($orig, $clone) {
$orig->x = 'I am the original.';
$clone->x = 'I am a clone.';
print_r($orig);
// should be different since this is a copy, not a reference

Really this is far too broad to be answered here, and unless you're
talking specifically about PHP web application development, it's also
quite off-topic.
If you're talking about diagrams and flow charts, I highly recommend
Jesse James Garret's Visual Vocabulary:
http://jjg.net/ia/visvocab/
If you're talking specifically about PHP application frameworks, then
you'll need to a LOT of reading of the many different frameworks and
methodologies out there (FuseBox, Model-View-Controller, etc), and
formulate your own opinions, but the reality is I've been designing and
developing web apps for over 4 years, and my own framework/methods are
still in constant development.
A lot of them are mentioned on phpPatterns
<http://phppatterns.com/index.php/link/category/34/>, and you can learn
a LOT by getting involved in (or studying the source of) a mature open
source project (I'm currently spending quite a bit of time in
Texpattern's code <http://www.textpattern.com>.
Ask a more detailed question, and you'll get a more detailed answer.

Bruce, you need to start new threads when you ask a new question... a
lot of people don't bother to check out a thread that's already got

anyway (original post is below my response)...
When you say cgi vs. php, I'm going to assume you mean cgi versus apache
module (correct me if I misunderstand). To be honest I don't know
enough about the internals of the apache module to tell you why it's
better for an apache server (would love it if someone could explain!).
What I do know I've gathered from PHP's site... check these out:

[original post]
hi..
a really general/basic question... what is the difference between a "cgi"
app and a php app.. does it really come down to where the app is being run
from..
i mean within apache, if i specify that php/perl/etc... app resides at a
given location, and that files with a certain extension are to be handled by
the perl/php/etc app, then i can handle the processing of the file by the
interpreter anywhere within my site that i grant access to. is there
anything/any reason to have a "cgi-bin" portion of my app, other than good
design practice...
clarification would be useful!!!
thanks..

PHP loads as an Apache module at startup and remains in memory, ready to
process files. Running PHP as a cgi means that Apache has to load and run
PHP each time a PHP file is processed.
Basically, there's a lot of extra work in running PHP as a cgi. There are
some benefits to having the cgi available though. For example, if you're at
a unix prompt and need to process a file. Or, more commonly, if you want to
execute scripts in cronjobs.

For these situations you would be better off using the CLI version of PHP.

Hello all,
In order to use pear mimedecode.php I have a few questions that were not
answered by the documentation.
I have emails that have .zip, .pdf, .txt and .csv files.
Some emails have more than one attachment.
I would like to have a php script to fetch these emails and save only
those with .zip , .txt and .csv deleting everything else.
Can anyone point me how to use mimedecode so that I can keep the
original filename of the attachment. How can I obtain the file name?
Thanks in advance.

Hello together,
I am havin trouble with php regular expressions. I would like to
implement following pattern "Last Name:\s*(.*)\n".
- From following text,
Name: James
Last Name: Jason
Street: abc
I get just 'Jason'. But what I currently get is:
Jason
Street: abc
Obviously the new-line is missed. Any thoughts on this?
sample code:
ereg("Last Name:\s*(.*)\n", $strInput, $regs)
echo $regs[1];
Thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Arik

Donno about regular expressions but with perl compatible you can use:
preg_match('/Last Name:\s*(.*)\n/', $inputStr, $regs);

Thanks for the quick help.
Both ways,
preg_match('/Last Name:\s*(.*)\n/', $inputStr, $regs);
and
ereg("Last Name:\s*(.*[^\n])", $strInput, $regs);
work fine.
However if I have,
Last Name:
Street: Teststreet
(no entry after last name)
Both search strings return me:
- ----
Street: Teststreet
- ----
Also why doesn't "Last Name:\s*(.*)$" work, and neither "^Last
Name:\s*(.*)". Both strings are not found at all - that's why I thought
the php implementation might treat new lines in a strange way.
Can anybody explain these effects to me?
Cheers,
Arik

This is behaviour because (.*) is greedy.
As you noticed, it matched "Jason \nStreet:abc"
/Last Name:\s+(.*?)\n/

preg_match('|^Last Name:(.*)$|m', $haystack, $matches);
should work.

Yes. Create a log file. Pass all GET and POST information to it. Over

The GET stuff is already in your apache log file. The POST stuf you
probably don't want to log because it can be rather huge if you are
dealing with things like file uploads. Jame's suggestion seems pretty
good especially because you cannot get the raw post data for 'known'
content types with PHP.

Hi Guys,
I've just upgraded from 5.0 rc3 to 5.0 release on freeBSD (using the
ports) and now find that HTTP Authentication dosent work.
Here is the test script that i am using:
<?php
~ error_reporting(E_ALL);
~ ini_set('display_errors', true);
~ if (! (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) ||
isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) )) {
~ header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
~ header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
~ echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
~ exit;
~ } else {
~ echo "<p>Hello '{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}'.</p>";
~ echo "<p>You entered {$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']} as your password.</p>";
~ }
?>
And here is the output that i get:
Notice: Undefined index: PHP_AUTH_USER in test.php on line 10
Hello ''.
You entered pass as your password.
As you can see PHP_AUTH_USER is on longer being set. Does anybody else
have this issue or know of a fix?

Hall all,
i have sometimes problems to include images. the reason are substrings
like <? in the image.
in that case the php-parser tries to parse the string and returns the error:
parse error, unexpected ',' in
unforunatly there in no other way to include the image, cause the server
runs in safe_mode and
the image is located in the safe_mode_include_dir. therefore readfile
and things like that wont work.
Any suggestions how to protect an including file for getting parsed?
Thanks in advance.

Even if you could prevent an included file from being parsed, I can't see how
it would help you as you can't assign the contents to a variable. But you say
that you "sometimes have problems" which implies that sometimes it works.
Could you explain how it works?
And anyway why are your images in safe_mode_include_dir in the first place?

We just flush it on the display. the php-script is an image src like
<img src="showImage.php">
The showImage.php does an include of the image which is located out of
the DocumentRoot.
The image is generated by a cron script. Mostly it works but sometimes
we have the problem
described above.
And anyway why are your images in safe_mode_include_dir in the first place?
Cause php-scripts (owned by different uids => therefore the
safe_mode_include_dir ) of various virtual servers make use of the image.

Hi! I saw the php function flock(), since I never used it before so I
thought I would ask you folks a couple of questions.
1) Is this function good or is there a better function somewhere that I'm
not aware of?
2) If the flock() activated the file lock then is it possible that I
manually unlock the file? Like chmod or something through the Linux console
for example.
3) good example of script just in case..
Thanks,
FletchSOD

Yea, read that, very good info there. Alright, I'll make one from scratch
and do some testing to find what need to be add/change/remove to make it
more a rock solid script. Boy, it remind me of Perl.

Nah! I'll settle for a simplier one... file_exists() by checking to see
if the file exist then spit out the error message. Meaning the file is in
use...
