afaik you're right, it's supposed to be fully unicode. or at least -was-

however, how long until it is production stable... when i am sure
someone can hack together a patch to make saveHTML unicode capable :p

I did a little reading on the issue and I don't think php 6 will fix it.
The issue is with libxml2 - it mutilates utf8 when exporting to html and php function wraps the libxml2 function. 

The solution?
I don't know - but perhaps using saveXML() and then using a translation tool (maybe xslt?) to convert to HTML.
I actually had a function I wrote using preg_replace (started out as a wordpress plugin someone else wrote) but it could not properly handle cdata blocks - I'll see if I can find it. 

I don't use it anymore as I use saveHTML() now for html output.

Maybe running iconv on the output would fix it?

I tried to the best of my abilities. it looks like it was reported as
a bug years ago, but classified as not a bug or something.

I tried iconv, I am not the best hacker when it comes to encoding manipulation.

At the moment this was the best workaround someone had posted, and I
have not sanity checked that this gets into MySQL then back out on the
webpage properly as UTF-8, but it -appears- to work

html_entity_decode($dom->saveHTML(),ENT_QUOTES,"UTF-8");

not to mention i swore i tried saveXML and it didn't work either. but
maybe it was because the output was unusable...

Hi,

I need to convert video files to FLV using php.

The only solution that I found is to use ffmpeg, but because I am using
shared hosting I am not allowed to install it on server.
Do you know any other ways to convert any video file types to flv using PHP.

Thanks for help!

Best Regards,
Gevorg Harutyunyan

Don't waste CPU power of shared servers for video recoding.
If you need that, get a dedicated server without other customers who
would probably be affected by you using lots of cpu power.

Besides that, if you cannot install own (compiled) software on it,
you'd have to use a pure php solution which would be HORRIBLY slow.

use ffmpeg.

there is an ffmpeg-php extension but it's kinda buggy and i am not
sure it supports enough for what you want. but using ffmpeg for it is
pretty simple. just system() the calls to it. google for it

i use php-fpm + nginx + have one allowed job per server for each of my
webservers. dual core with 2 gigs of ram and normal sata disk. no real
problems to complain about sharing the two.

Thanks guys, but as I understood that extension also requires ffmpeg on
server, correct me if I am wrong.
So anyway I need ffmpeg on server. Some day, when I will have dedicated
server I will use ffmpeg for sure, but now
I need other solution.

there's some third party encoding services out there, and if you host
with softlayer, they have media transcoding services they offer for
their hosting customers (not sure the cost, but it's pay for what you
use)

Subject: codeigniter 'secure, non-secure content' pop up message in IE7
To: [email protected]


Hello Experts,

I badly need your help. My developed site's some pages are HTTPS, and
other parts are HTTP. When I try to access the HTTPS page in IE it
comes up with "secure & non-secure content " warning. I search on
google to find out the solution. but almost every site suggest to
change the IE setting. But, its not wish way to tell every visitor's
to change  the IE setting. So, I want to stop this message with some
coding. while searching, I found some advice to make all image to
HTTPS, for https pages, I followed that, but still i am getting this
same pop up warning. Is there any other way to solve my problem? Any
one can help me on it? Please do reply.

Make all images, javascript etc work with https.

That's the only IE will not complain about it.

Look at the generated source code and try to find any files that are
included by absolute URL (search for http://) those have to be
eliminated. Make sure everything uses relative paths or comes over
SSL.

Yes. or absolute paths without protocoll and host. ;)
works:
src="/foo.bar"
src="./foo.bar"
src="https://otherserver/foo.bar";


And also be on the lookout for blank src= attributes like in a iframe
<iframe src="" id="foo">
A bug in IE will show the mentioned popup when you have such code.
Solution: src="javascript:void(0)"

Just be aware that it does have a few bugs you may need to work around
or patch. The SourceForge tracker is at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=26031&atid=385707>. I
submitted two reports last year against 1.73 which the tracker says were
summarily closed with no comment and apparently no action. The first one
is listed as fixed in the change logs for 2.0.3 and 2.3, but that was
not recorded in the tracker.

1. Incorrect line ending character. RFC 2821 and 2822 require CR/LF line
endings. PHPMailer only puts in the LF. Just because most current
clients can handle the single character is no excuse for doing it wrong.

2. Invalid use of Return-path for Sender. When you request a Sender
header, the email is written with Return-path instead. According to
those RFCs, the latter is reserved for use by transport agents and may
be rewritten or replaced anywhere in the chain. It should insert a
Sender line instead.

On FF 2.0.0.6 Ctrl-I brings up the info page - perhaps 3.0 changed that?

The encoding informnation is in the headers sent - try using e.g.
wget -S to see what your server is sending.  Or sent me a link
off-line, and I'll check for you.

I actually thought you were going to point out to our guest that this is a 
mailing list for PHP-related issues only. And we're not here to get paid for 
our opinions are we??? I won't blame anybody going for the offer though but the 
point remains, this is a PHP-Mailing list.

Cheers.

I believe there is some kind of filter for SPAM emails and emails not
related to PHP. Question is: How come some emails still make it to this
list? Anyone to shed some light on this topic?

Thanks,
V

Hi Richard,

You don't wanna be rude to me now do you? I'd pretend I didn't see that.

Quite frankly, I asked myself that same question earlier but I thought Dan was 
in charge of such stuffs. He's been very quiet on a lot of things lately. Hey 
guys, does anyone know where Dan's been? i'm guessing he's gone on a short 
course or maybe AWOL.

Cheers.

pretty sure he has answered this question a few times before.
The gist was, (IIRC) - some can get through..  nothing to do about it.

    I'm still here.  This had been marked as SPAM over here, so I
never even saw it until now.

    And yes, whether we like it or not, SPAM will get through.
Because of the nature of the list, it would be difficult to develop a
pattern with today's AI technology to "learn" enough about the message
content to block SPAM on this (technical) list without blocking a good
portion of legitimate mail as well.  Even the obvious stuff is mostly
unfiltered --- we rely on each subscriber using a decent SPAM filter
on their side.

    I'd personally recommend setting up a dedicated Gmail account for
the lists, and then if you want it all in the same place, use their
IMAP/POP3/forwarding/etc. features.  In the history of email, the only
better SPAM blocking stuff has been a pair of scissors applied to the
power cord.

The reason why you are starting to confuse yourself is that you are still considering doing some part of this by including javascript in the solution -- there is NO need.
Just receive what the user submits and process it server-side before mailing -- pure and simple.
That way not only can you clean the submission, but you can count the words and put that count in the subject line like you wanted. This really a simple problem. You are complicating it by including javascript.

Hello,
I am trying to extract a number out of a string that is in utf-8 and contains chines characters. 

This unfortunatelly does not work:

                preg_match('{(\d+)}', $details, $m);
                $number = $m[1];

I also tried to utf8decode it, but still, no luck.

Does anybody know how to overcome this problem?

Regards, Merlin

That's simple, there's no "chines" characters in Unicode.

Hi gang:
I'm gathering information from a user, storing that data in a db, and then showing it back to the user. It's a simple process and can bee seen here in this address book demo (not real people): 

http://php1.net/a/edit-db-demo

I gather information from the user via a $_POST[]; like this:

   $last_name = trim($_POST['last_name']);

Then I pass it through mysql_real_escape_string() like so --

   $last_name = mysql_real_escape_string($last_name);

-- and then I put that data into my table via an UPDATE.

Then when I pull data from the table, I do this --

   $last_name = htmlentities($row['last_name']);

-- and show that data to the user. That's what I'm supposed to do right?
So, why is it that when I enter the name "O'Brian", the entry comes back "O/'Brian"? 

So what's wrong and how do I fix it?

Cheers,

tedd

Good.

Yes, but add ENT_QUOTES as second parameter to htmlentities, so that
php will convert single 'quotings', too.
You might want to use htmlspecialchars($str, ENT_QUOTES) to preserve
special characters liek äöü and alike.
If you're using UTF-8, you want to add 'UTF-8' as the third parameter
for the given html*() function.

this happens, because you have php configured to automatically apply
addslashes() to every predefined user-input scope like _GET, _POST,
... just turn it of or call stripslashes *before* issuing
mysql_real_escape_string()..

like that :

"UPDATE `foo` SET `bar` = ".
mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_POST['yourself']));

Beware of typing stripcslashes('see the C?"), as it will not strip
anything without further options. ;)

Ave,
Does anyone have any knowledge on connecting a FoxPro table (.dbf, dbase) using ODBC on a Mac OS X? I've been googling but not much is turning up. Some information is available on ODBC Connections using PHP ... very little on Mac OS X ... and absolutely none to do with a FoxPro dBase table. 

Thanks.

I started caching some of the static files on my application,
I was wondering - Lets say I have an article on my website and I *want* to
cache it. How will I cache it AND will be able to make my visitors
"re-cache" it if it has been changed?

I read how to do that on static pages, but couldn't find any reference that
does not use mod_expires (since I don't have it)...


And, if I am already sending a message,

How do I use *Header set Expires* (on htaccess) and specifying "in a week"?
Couldn't find any answer to this question as well..

Hi all,

Ok. Here is a code that I'm studying:

class Connection extends PDO {
        private $dsn = 'mysql:dbname=testes;host=127.0.0.1';
        private $user = 'root';
        private $password = '';
        public $handle = null;

   function __construct( ) {
        try {
          if ( $this->handle == null ) {
                $dbh = parent::__construct( $this->dsn , $this->user ,
$this->password );
                $this->handle = $dbh;
                return $this->handle;
           }
        }
…

Can I replace this part:
$dbh = parent::__construct( $this->dsn , $this->user , $this->password );
        $this->handle = $dbh;
          return $this->handle;

By this: (?)
$this->handle = parent::__construct( $this->dsn , $this->user ,
$this->password );

And put a return on my getHandler method? 

If so, is there any special reason that we should know about using a
structure like this?
$dbh = parent::__construct( $this->dsn , $this->user , $this->password );
        $this->handle = $dbh;
        return $this->handle;




Thanks a lot,
Márcio
