Hey folks,
What we are looking to do is give a specific include path for each site in our
customer base. This running on MacOSX so basically we have sites set up like:
/Users/username/Sites/site.com/phpinc
There can be numerous sites in each users directory and numerous users in /Users.
Basically what we want to do is have each set up to be able to include only from their
include directory, but the boss is wondering if it can be done on one or two lines for
every site total.
Basically looking for something like this:
<Directory /Users/*/Sites/*/phpinc>
php-value include_path = .
</Directory>
or something like it.
Is this possible? Or should we just go ahead and set it in each sites declaration?

Hi folks !
I've got a strage problem I don't know how to solve:
I am calling ImageMagick's identify. If I do that via command line, I get a
textline as result with all images. If I do the same with exec or passthru,
I only get results with certain image-types.
Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be ?
thanks !

Hi,
in my code I am trying to send an email (containing a password) to a user
when he has forgotten his password.
The problem is that security leads to needing to encrypt passwords in the
database. Im using the password function within mysql. Is there any way of
reversing the password function() to get the original password to send out
to the user?
Or are there any other suggestions in PHP to reverse encryption of
passwords. I do understand the principles of encryption and can see the
point of unreversible functions but Im sure that not all applications re-set
passwords with random generated ones but do send out forgotten passwords.
Cheers
B

$pwtestOK=FALSE
It's a bit tricky to make it really secure. If your site is vulnerable to
serious cracker attacks, better find some indepth articles.
What i've seen CMS systems do is take a password from a form and put it as
MD5($password) in the database. MD5 is irreversible but when you let people
login you simply compare it like this:
if (MD5(enteredpassword) == password_in_database)
$pwtestOK=TRUE;
if (!$pwtestOK) {echo 'wrong password'; exit;}

I think it's a one-way hash, like MD5. You could set their password to
something else - a random 8-letter string, for example - and send them that
along with a note encouraging them to change it.
If you want two-way encryption, have a look at AES_ENCRYPT and AES_DECRYPT:

Yeah, umm, Microsoft SQL Server (mssql) is different
then MySQL Server (mysql), I believe the correct answer,
is if your selecing a VARCHAR longer then 255 is to cast it,
example:
SELECT CAST(somefield AS TEXT) AS somefield FROM table;
That will work.

including or requiring a file does not change the working directory, so
if you have this structure:
index.php
A/ClassA.class.php
B/ClassB.class.php
and index.php includes A/ClassA.class.php, from ClassA.class.php you
need to use
include('B/ClassB.class.php');

So I tried including the ClassA file in ClassB

}
i cant get this working. How do i solve this problem
without having both class files in the same directory.

Hi people,
I would like to select news from my database bases on week/year and
month/year.
How can i do this.. I would like to pass two arguments in the query
string, like news.php?week=14&year=2003 or news.php?month=3&year=2003.
Can anybody help me.. Thanks in advance. I have been looking at the
date() and mktime() functions, but is there anyway to determine the date
from a weeknumber? I have been using this:
$yr="2003";
$mnth="03";
$dy="31";
echo "base date: ".$yr."-".$mnth."-".$dy."<br />";
echo "last sunday: ".date("Y-m-d",
mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy-date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy,$yr)),$yr))."<br
/>";
echo "next saturday: ".date("Y-m-d",
mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy+6-date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$mnth,$dy,$yr)),$yr))."<b
r />";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE date>='$last_sunday' AND
date<='$next_saturday').
But i would find it better to use a weeknumber instead

Check out mysql manual, section 6.3.4 - Date and Time Functions, example
$condition='';
if($GET['week']) $condition .= "WEEK(date)='$_GET[week]' AND ";
if($GET['year']) $condition .= "YEAR(date)='$_GET[week]' AND ";
and so on
then use the condition:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE $condition 1";

If you're using mysql you can do something like:
SELECT * FROM news WHERE WEEK(date) = some_week_number_or_another
If you're using some other DBMS check whether it has some similar function.

I have a script that needs to open a remote file on another Web server,
which may or may not be protected (for example, by an htaccess file).
What would be the best way to check if it's protected, and if so,
prompt the user for username and password to open it?
Thanks.

Assuming you are retrieving this file via http/https then it's really
the remote server that will enforce the access control in whatever
manner is uses. I.e., if your script tries to open a file whose
access is controlled by a .htaccess file (and http-basic
authentication) the user will simply get the authentication prompt
when they access your page/php script.

Im having big problems -
I have a script that runs on over 250 Servers, all are running NT4.
here is the script:
[php]
function last_sunday() {
return gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime("Last Sunday"));
}
echo "Last Sunday is returned as: ".last_sunday();
[/php]
Some servers have 'automatically adjust clock for daylight saving
changes' switched on, some have this off - (im in the UK GMT +0).
With daylight saving on the above script returns: 2003-03-29
With daylight saving off the above script returns: 2003-03-30
Im puzzled with this one - any ideas?

Hello people, I have the following strange problem:
I designed a form with Front Page XP, and with PHP I save the fields in a
MySQL data base. All fields work perfect, except one. This is a control to
upload files:
<INPUT type="file" name="f1">
The problem is that in the data base the value selected for the user is not
recorded. Instead of that a value as "/tmp/phpd7Fski" is recorded.
I don't know if my problem is Front Page, PHP or my Web server (Apache)...
As a test I printed the value of the varible $f1:
<?
echo $f1
?>
This shows the following: "/tmp/phpd7Fski", instead the value selected by
the user.
Well I hope somebody can help me, from already thank you very much,

$f1 is the temporary file namen your server, you need to use $f1_name,

Hi,
I have this problem retrieving data from a mssql table with PHP.
I have this in my mssql table column:
Globe and Mail data are retrieved and processed for CustomSearch.
On the R30, the crontab entry:
0 4 * * 1-6 /usr1/applic/ntgm/ntgm_get.pl
will run the Perl script at 4 a.m. everyday to retrieve the data from Globe
and Mail. It will look for the file, retry if not found, until 6 a.m.
Most common problem is caused by the data file not available after 6 a.m.
for retrieval. The system will send an error message to the support team to
alert the problem.
To retry downloading manually, simply sign on to the R30 and run the script
/usr1/applic/ntgm/ntgm_get.pl.
The data file can be found in the done directory and two log files in the
log directory.
WHen I retrieve this data from php to display on my webpage I get this:
Globe and Mail data are retrieved and processed for CustomSearch.
On the R30, the crontab entry:
0 4 * * 1-6 /usr1/applic/ntgm/ntgm_get.pl
will run the Perl script at 4 a.m. everyday to retrieve the data from Globe
and Mail. It will look for the fi
The code I have in my php to display this text is:
$query = "SELECT * FROM knowledgeBase WHERE Title = '$title'";
$result = mssql_query($query);
$line = mssql_fetch_row($result);
echo "$line[2]";
$line[2] because this data is in the second column of the mssql table of the
row '$title'
P.S. I have set the limit of the mssql table to have 8000 character, so it
should exceed the limit, but I just don't know why it takes only 6 lines of
the total 11 lines of what I had in the mssql table.
Please advise! THANKS!

Yeah, I need to find out where to add the CSS extension to my list of
parsable files. I tried just sticking regular PHP code into a CSS file, and
it didn't come out properly. I can't find the place where I can specify what
files to parse, though.

This does relieve the problem of dirty templates, but with some costs in
inreased complexity. With TT you would have less things to do to achieve
similar, but I assume that in the end it is largely a matter of taste and/or
preferences.

Hi,
>From my point of view, XML+XSLT increases complexity
with very less number of advantages.
Fundamental of using XML+XSLT with PHP is to seperate
HTML code from the PHP and database code. But in the
following article, it shows XSL stylesheet comes with
full of logic. Do we really need this approach?? At
this time i think smarty is separating the
presentation from logic in the best manner.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

IMO, Smarty is just an abstraction of PHP. Smarty templates are HTML
templates, but they still contain their own application logic for
looping, etc, and so are still not a real separation (or are *dirty*, as
'rush' calls it).
XML+HTML+XSLT (or Template Tamer from what I can gather) take it the
extra step. The application logic in PHP generates an XML data stream,
which contains no dependencies on output. It is simply data. The XSLT
parser parses the HTML template (which contains _only_ HTML and
placeholders), and when it encounters a placeholder it executes the
relevant XSLT code. This way, the design department can design the HTML
fully, without having to learn PHP, Smarty, or any other syntax. They
just put in placeholder tags wherever information from the XML file is
needed.
There are drawbacks to every abstraction, and templating is no
different. Smarty templates are fast, and are enjoyed by a large user
base for their relative simplicity. XML, XSLT, etc are complex and
verbose, but provide for maximum abstraction. Template Tamer sounds
like it combines the best from both (from what I've heard here).
It is a matter of taste, I suppose. I think that people may sometimes
waste more time trying to maximize the division between presentation and
logic than it's worth. Well written PHP scripts can be almost as good a
template as any (by separating the HTML and just using embedded variables).
HTH,
Pete.

Crystal Decisions provided a resolution to the problem. If the
SelectPrinter method is called, the PaperOrientation method must also be
set.
So, to access Crystal Reports from PHP, the following code is used:
$crapp = new COM("CrystalDesignRunTime.Application");
$creport = $crapp->OpenReport("d:\\athermal\\reports\\backlog.rpt", 1);
$creport->SelectPrinter("winspool", "HP LaserJet 1200 Series PCL",
"Ne01:");
$creport->PaperOrientation = 0;
$creport->PrintOut(False);

- If the PortName is not specified, or specified incorrectly on the

I am in the process of converting an Intranet application from CGI4VB
to PHP. Some of the scripts call Crystal Reports RDC to print to
either PDF or their printer, which is mapped through the network on
the server. I therefore need to call the SelectPrinter method. Any
workarounds or patches for this would be very helpful.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to fix my code so that on the last day of
the month, my code doesn't repeat the months...
What the code suppose to do is, makes a drop down box from which you can
select the month, and if its the current month
the box is already selected.
<select name="month">
<?
for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++) {
if ($i == date("m")) {
print "<option selected value=\"". $i . "\">" .
date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,date("d"),date("Y"))) . "</option>";
} else {
print "<option value=\"". $i . "\">" .
date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$i,date("d"),date("Y"))) . "</option>";
}
}
?>
</select>
Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I can be a moron on this list
sometimes and the clear answer usually comes to me about 2 seconds after I
hit the send button. Do you mean that you don't want any months in the
SELECT control when it's the last of the month? Or you don't want the
SELECTED attribute in the OPTION tags? As far as I can tell, you're not
repeating any months, but you're only listing them once.
Try this (and IMHO a *slight* *slight* improvement in clarity, but again,
that's my HO):
<select name="month">
<?
for ($counter=1; $counter<=12; $counter++) {
print "<option value=\"". $counter . "\"";
if (($counter == date("m")) || (date("d") < date("t"))) {
print " selected";
}
print ">" . date("F",mktime(0,0,0,$counter,date("d"),date("Y"))) .
"</option>";
}
}
</select>
I adjusted it so that you only print out the SELECTED attribute if it's the
current month, and I called $i as $counter, because, to me anyway, it makes
it clearer what is the $counter. If $i works for you, though, there's
nothing wrong with that, and it's not that it's unclear anyway, what with it
in the FOR loop only a few lines earlier. (I'll shut up now about $counter.)
Anyway, I added a comparison above that said if the current date is less
than the last day of the month, then print SELECTED. That's assuming I have
your question right in that you don't want to select the current month if
it's the last day of that month. Otherwise, if I'm wrong, you can take that
comparison and put it just about anywhere.
Help? Doesn't? Am I a complete goof?

Vinesh, there's a fundemental flaw in your logic. The date("d") input will
fail to produce a reliable list if it is executed on any day after the 28th
of the month. Since today is the 31st obviously this is going to cause some
problems becuase any month that ends on the 30th or earlier will return plus
one the month. So February will return March, April willl return May, and
so on. If you wait until tommorrow (the 1st) your function will magically
work. :)
One way to fix this is to build your own array of month names and reference
that instead of using the date() function.
$months = array(1=>"January", 2=>"February", 3=>"March", 4=>"April",
5="May", 6=> ... and so on...);
for($i=1; $i<=12; $i++)
{
$selected = "";
if ($i == date("m"));{$selected = "SELECTED";}
echo "<option $selected value=\"${months[$i]}\">\n";
}

Indeed, I did find somehting ... in the licence FAQ (frequently asked question)
section: http://www.php.net/license/ discusses: (I don't mean to frequently ask :) )
"GPL enforces many restrictions on what can and cannot be done with the licensed code.
The PHP developers decided to release PHP under a much more loose license ..." But
you don't go into any further detail.
What I would like to know is what are the restrictions? A couple of examples would
suffice. In a nutshell ... Something I can document in an academic paper I am
presenting on the utility of PHP & MySQL "combination" and how it improved our
research mindset.

John,
I think the main point is that this question is completely off-topic. Neither
gnu.org nor opensource.org are sites that have anything to do with using PHP.
As for licenses, you can read PHP's here:
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php4/LICENSE?login=2&r=1.22.

No, the php-general list is not the place for you to do your open source
license research for your school paper.

It is possible that is because you don't want to put the time into figuring
things out for yourself. It's a lot easier to post a ton of RTFM questions
than to actually read the manual or research your question. I seem to
recall you having the same problem with the MySQL documentation.

I always put it into a variable.
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/web/www/';
and then use that variable in all of your includes or requires. I also
make an HTML variable that's used in all links and images.
$_CONF['html'] = 'http://www.mysite.com/';
Sure, you have to get used to using this variable everywhere, but it
makes switching server pretty easy.

I have a db with events in it. i would like to pull the events out via php,
but i would like them to be ordered by month number (1-12). When I do this
(Select blah blah From blah Order By Month_Start ASC) it orders the months
by number, but it starts with october (month 10) I am pretty sure it is
doing this because I have no events until april (month 4). So how can i get
it to order the months by their numbers starting with january (1) and going
to december (12) even if I do not have events until april (4)?
