1) State what exactly you're looking for -- what features are must-have, what 
are nice-to-have etc.

2) State what packages you have already looked at. Give a short evaluation of 
each with what you like and dislike about them.

Based on this people can then give an *informed* opinion. This way people will 
not point you to packages that you've already tried and did not like, or 
packages that do not have the features that you require.

No, not normally. If you just display the code, it'll show as plain PHP code and not be run. However, if it makes its way into an include file or eval() call, then it could be evaluated.

do i have to htmlspecialchars every entry?

Depends on your program. For most text, yes.

I don't like this because it doesn't protect your content from being
misinterpreted.  It should be more like:

        Jay asked <?php echo htmlentities($Question); ?>, then...

Of course you could call htmlentities() on all of your variables in a
previouw block.  But then you cannot use the variables again unless you
undo it with html_entity_decode().  It's a bit of a mess.

Also, I find inlining to be less flexible and less extensible than some
kind of template system.

"There is a difference between the two, but speed-wise it
should be irrelevant which one you use. print() behaves
like a function in that you can do:

$ret = print "Hello World";

And $ret will be 1

That means that print can be used as part of a more complex
expression where echo cannot. print is also part of the
precedence table which it needs to be if it is to be used
within a complex expression. It is just about at the bottom
of the precendence list though. Only "," AND, OR and XOR
are lower.

echo is marginally faster since it doesn't set a return
value if you really want to get down to the nitty gritty.

If the grammar is:

echo expression [, expression[, expression] ... ]

Then

echo ( expression, expression )

is not valid. ( expression ) reduces to just an expression
so this would be valid:

echo ("howdy"),("partner");

but you would simply write this as:

echo "howdy","partner";

if you wanted to use two expression. Putting the brackets
in there serves no purpose since there is no operator
precendence issue with a single expression like that."

Because of this I usually do the following:

echo "<p>here is some text with a $variable in it.<br/>\n"
        ."And this is another like of text with a $variable1 in it.<br/>\n"
        ."And so on...<br/>\n"
        ."And so forth.</p>\n";

I also prefer <?= $variable ?> to <?php echo $variable; ?>
except that for the sake of cross-system compatibility* I now
choose to do <?php echo $variable; ?>.


Chris.

* What I mean by that is if I give my code to someone else I
want it to work with as few changes as possible. Some php
installs don't have <? ?> turned on (short tags?).



Well, there is an eye opener. I always thought that the <?=$Var?> printing
style was not influenced by short_open_tag, but now I did a test to be sure
about it and it turned out it does..

<quick test>
      1 <?php
      2 echo 'ini setting short_open_tag: '.ini_get('short_open_tag');
      3 ?>
      4
      5 Long open tags: <?php print 'OK'; ?>
      6 Short open tags <? print 'OK'; ?>
      7 Short print style <?='OK'?>
<output short_open_tags="On">
        ini setting short_open_tag: 1
        Long open tags: OK
        Short   open tags OK
        Short print style OK
</output>
<output short_open_tags="Off">
        ini setting short_open_tag:
        Long open tags: OK
        Short open tags <? print 'OK'; ?>
        Short print style <?='OK'?>
</output>
</quick_test>

Thanks!

1. Turn off short_open_tags
2. Turn off asp_tags
3. use <?php echo $Var?>

Personally, I don't use inline since I prefer templating, but when i do
this kind of code for other projects where I don't get the choice to use
a templating system, then I use the above style also. I find <?=$Var?>
to be cryptic even if shorter. Besides I'm all for code consistency, if
I'm going to break into PHP mode for multiple lines, then I do the same
for a single line.

Cheers,
Rob.

I've tried that too, with ls and other programs in the local directory where
the
script was located. And with permissions set to 777. Even on the dir. No go.
Still the same error log message :  "sh: /ls: No such file or directory".
Specifying a specific path will give, for instance :
"sh: /bin/ls: No such file or directory".

This seems impossible, as the file is clearly there, but I can't find any
more
info on this message.

Something that I wrote recently that I thought may be of general
interest for system administrators running PHP:

The web server runs on port 80, with the priviledges of the username
"apache". On most webhosts that support PHP, this web server executes
the PHP scripts. The PHP scripts would thus all run under the same
username.

Problem #1 is that a single web server generally services multiple
websites. Under the common setup, all of their PHP scripts will run
under the common "apache" username. This is a security flaw, because a
programmer for a website would be able to read the PHP scripts of any
other website, and probably also gain access to any databases or files
that those scripts make use of. Most webhosts probably get away with
this since one can only exploit this if they have an account on the
server, can only attack other websites on the server, and most people
aren't skilled/devious enough to do this.

Problem #2 is that the use of PHP makes each Apache process consume
more memory. The process consumes more memory even when it is serving
static (non-PHP) files such as a JPG. It would be more efficient to
have a pool of small processes serving static files, and some larger
processes serving the PHP scripts.

So on my server, the main web server on port 80 does not run PHP.
Rather, the client has a private PHP-enabled Apache that listens on
localhost port 8024. This private Apache runs under the priviledges of
the client's UNIX account, and only serves pages from the client's
domain.  Whenever the main Apache receives a request that requires PHP
to service(*), it will proxy the request to the PHP-enabled Apache.
This solves problems #1 and #2 above.

However, (*) is a bit problematic. Consider the following URLs:

(a) http://www.domain.org/page.php
(b) http://www.domain.org/page.html
(c) http://www.domain.org/image.jpg
(d) http://www.domain.org/

(a) should obviously be proxied, since it ends in .php and thus must
be a PHP script. (b) and (c) have obvious static file extensions, so
should not be proxied. But what about (d)? It could be either
index.php or index.html, but this can't be determined just from
pattern matching on the URL.

I came up with a recipe in httpd.conf to account for case (d): In the
case of a request to a directory, it will proxy if and only if
index.php exists.

RewriteEngine On
# Proxy any request to *.php
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ http://127.0.0.1:8024$1.php [l,p]
# Proxy any request to a directory if index.php exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}index.php -f
RewriteRule (.*) http://127.0.0.1:8024$1 [l,p]

where http://127.0.0.1:8024 is the address to the backend PHP.

%{DOCUMENT_ROOT} could be replaced with another directory path, if the
PHP scripts are kept in a separate directory tree. Note that the
RewriteCond -f means that the "apache" user will need to be able to
list the files in the directory (but does not need read access to the
files themselves). If more security is needed, the PHP files could be
kept in a separate tree (configured as the DocumentRoot on the private
Apache), and:

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}index.php -f

could be replaced with a directive that determines whether the
frontend Apache can handle the indexing for the directory (e.g. if
index.html exists, or index.shtml, etc.), and not proxy if that is the
case, and proxy otherwise.

check out php_admin_value open_basedir, should solve this. allows you to specify what directory's a php script can read from.

I don't think his solution really worked, in fact it makes the problem worse. Compared to a single pool of larger processes serving the PHP scripts, there is also a pool of small apache processes that serve static content with the overhead of proxying requests to php scripts to the other server.

Hi,

  you have to use *ini_get* function and not *function_exists* because it
is a restriction on PHP.INI.

Try:
<?
if (eregi('rmdir',ini_get('disable_functions')))
    echo "rmdir Function exists";
else
    echo "rmdir Function DOES NOT exists";
?>

I am looking for a reasonable free Web Host Management System that is mainly
based in PHP(so I can modify it a bit to my liking)

I have used WebCP(webcp.can-host.com) but it is too buggy to be worth
fixing.

All suggestions welcome.

I've read the manual, but it says this:

Note:
If you start a program using this function and want to leave it running in
the background, you have to make sure that the output of that program is
redirected to a file or some other output stream or else PHP will hang until
the execution of the program ends.

Okay, so what's wrong with that?
