Hi Everyone,
Oddball error randomly shows up when accessing pages on my web hosting
provider. The error message is below.
My account is obb4wine. PHP behaves as if I'm the account budguy when
the script error occurs. A page refresh usually makes the error go
away. The error happens frequently enough that site users are
complaining.
Any ideas?

Someone has already advised you look at strtotime, but just incase you
haven't here is one way you can use it:
$yesterdays_timestamp = strtotime("-1 day");

I'm assuming you meant pdflib, not phplib? If I'm reading your question right,
I don't know of a way to do it purely from PHP. However,
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output_file.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 -f input_file.pdf
will give you what you want. What you want is a PDF of the first page of
another PDF, right?

Well, you pretty much listed all of the options. Personally, I'd
probably go with #2 because hard drive space is cheap. But... if the
process is really that intensive and you're really that concerned about
space, then I'd do #3. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to
maintain as you're just reversing everything and how often do you expect
it to change? Sorry I can't offer a better option. :)

4. Store the plain (shorthand HTML) text and when users 'save' changes,
generate a static page containing the transformed XHTML version. You
will have the processing overhead once (when data is changed), and
everytime else visitors get static files.
It sounds like #3 would be quite difficult. Going from HTML->XHTML you
know what the end result would look like. Going the other way, you
won't know for sure what the users originally entered when they authored
the content. I'm assuming this isn't a 1-to-1 transformation, so that
these:
<b>Some bold text</b>
<B>Some bold text</B>
<b>Some bold text</B>
will all get turned into:
<strong>Some bold text</strong>
If you turn the <strong> text back into <b>, then it's not clear which
of the three options you should use.
Unless I'm misunderstanding...

Hi Justin,
I'm building a CMS that does heavy parsing of a "HTML shorthand"
plain text to XHTML strict, in a similar way to Textile
<http://www.textism.com/tools/textile/>.
The problem is this conversion might take place on 2-3 columns of
text, and unlimited other fields (my CMS has user-defined data
models),
Could you please provide a short example or an URL of your data model?
This would clear things a little bit.
Well, I'm still trying to define the DM, but something like this:
pages
id,path,status,dataModel_id
1,"/products/foo/",1,"3col"
2,"/home/",1,"2col"
etc
dataModel_3col
pageid, title,desc,keywords,col1,col2,col3
dataModel_2col
pageid, title,desc,keywords,col1,col2
... the above would be enough if it were all plain text, but since I'm
doing a lot of parsing (especially on <textarea>'s), dataModel "3col"
might look more like this:
dataModel_3col
pageid,title,desc_in,desc_out,keywords,col1_in,col1_out,
col2_in,col2_out, col3_in,col3_out
There may be an entirely better way of doing this though :)
2. [...] I'm going to be storing a LOT of data in the DB.
Why not save both as files? Maybe you find a structure for this, i.e.
http://example.org/articles/2004/02/19/text34_v3.html or something
like this. You save the "editfiles" and cache the xhtml-output.
That's a good idea which I'll definitely look into... ideally, I was
hoping for everything to sit in one place -- either a database OR file
structure -- not both. It makes for an easier learning curve, easier
back-ups, etc etc.
The other problem with the above is that I don't wish to merge the
fields with the template at this point -- I want that to be on-the-fly.
So the question is how to store the multiple fields (in their parsed
state) in flat files. I guess simple XML would be an option...
<pageid>4</pageid>
<title>Parsed title</title>
<desc>Parsed desc</desc>
<keywords>...</keywords>
<col1>...</col1>
<col2>...</col2>
<col3>...</col3>
... but that's adding complexity that perhaps doesn't need to be there.
I think I'd rather everything in the database. Perhaps I need to keep
all the versions of the input text in one table, and all the versions
of the output in another -- in this case, I could choose to keep ALL
versions of the input, but perhaps only 1-5 versions of the output...
reducing the "double data".
So, the process of adding/editing a page might be:
- user hits submit
- input saved into dataModel_3col_in (all versions are stored)
- input parsed
- output saved into dataModel_3col_out
- older versions of output (eg any more than 3) are cleaned out
And the process of retrieving data for output to a page would be simply
retrieving the latest from dataModel_3col_out.
My only concern here is that there's 2 tables for every data model,
which need to "match" at all times.
3. write a reverse set of functions which converts the XHTML back to
the shorthand on demand for editing -- this seems great, but I don't
like the idea of maintaining two functions for such a beast.
Only parse one way. I mean only from your format to XHTML. There is no
need for converting back (I believe). your people edit the text, after
that they open up the browser and hitting refresh. So that's when your
parser comes in play. And with caching only once per document.

Isn't that just an alternate version of #2? You're still duplicating the
data and taking up storage space. Again, I wouldn't really be worried
about this, but that's the issue presented in #2. Sure, static files
would probably be faster, but that doesn't answer the issue of when/how
to do the conversion.

Version #2 involved an identical database structure, or multiple
database fields, or some sort of redundant data storage that mirrors the
HTML database structure. The bigger problem to me seemed to be the
complexity introduced into the database, not the extra storage space
required.
This solves the script run problem (only runs once), and lets the
database remain as originally planned.
The point is that the XHTML version is only necessary for display on the
finished webpage, and the simple HTML version is only necessary for
editing in the administrative interface. Publishing static XHTML files
eliminates the need to do database interactivity on each page request
(after all, the content isn't going to change with each request, is it?)
and keeping the HTML in the database lets the admin. interface be as
interactive and dynamic as is necessary.
Just my $.02, though -- I'm not going to have to end up maintaining
this, so the best answer is the one that works the best for the OP.

Of course you can when storing as files. Just keep both on serveral
branches. The public XHTML-stuff to the URL and your "raw material" on a
different branch in your filesystem. To cache the output is just a
option. You can always do the stuff on-the-fly. Just map the URL in a
secrue way to the filesystem and the parser.
I guess simple XML would be an option...
Yep. I did this once for a friend. It was great, because we defined a
couple of tags to work with. It was so easy for him, I didnt need to
write some forms. He wrote the stuff right in the editor with all the
tags in mind. I dont know if this is the same situation here. Maybe I'm
missing something :)
But: While it was a great thing for him, it was a real pain for me to
write the parser. As long as the stuff kept simple, than there was no
problem. But when the output depends on some nesting tags, it will
become real hell! So this is something that would be better to solve
with PHP5 and SimpleXML and not with PHP4.

I have a page with an embedded Flash movie that I'm having trouble with. The
Flash movie loads and calls a different url on the same host, retrieving some
XML and parsing it.
The problem is that many people are reporting that they lose thier session
when leaving the page with the Flash movie. Essentially, when posting the
form on that page, they get "kicked out" of the app. After removing the Flash
movie completely, the problem goes away. This seems to occur about 1 out of 5
posts, but only for about 1/3 of the users. This doesn't seem to be specific
to a particular Flash or browser version, as I'm using the same combination
as some of the folks reporting problems and have never seen it. Server is IIS
5 and PHP 4.3.3. It also doesn't seem to be a cookie or javascript issue
either.
Any thoughts?

Greetings:
Crack open the beer, PEAR DB 1.6.0 is here! (Hey, I'm a bit giddy
with excitement that my intense work during the past seven weeks
has come to fruition.)
For those unfamiliar with PEAR DB, it's a package of PHP classes
that provide an object oriented API with common methods of accessing
thirteen of PHP's database driver extensions:
dBase, FrontBase, InterBase, Informix, mSQL, MS SQL Server,
MySQL, Oracle, ODBC (tested with DB2 and Access), PostgreSQL,
SQLite and Sybase.
Key links for PEAR DB:
Download: http://pear.php.net/get/DB
Change Log: http://pear.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=DB
Manual: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.php
Home Page: http://pear.php.net/package/DB
Notable changes since 1.5.0RC2 include:
* New portability features, making it possible to write
applications which can be easily ported between DBMS's.
* Tons of bug fixes, making the package actually work for more
than just MySQL systems.
* Improved error reporting.
* Getting prepare/execute to work the same way for all DBMS's
and allow escaping of placeholder characters.
* Deploying tableInfo() in more drivers and officially moving
it from DB_result to DB_common. See the documentation for
proper usage.
* Making the test suite simpler to use and work on both
windows and *nix platforms.
* Various optimizations, several of which were uncovered
using Zend Studio's Code Analyzer.
* Countless documentation corrections.
* Full PHP 5 compatibility.
* Requiring PHP to be at version 4.2.0 or higher.
* Deprecating quote() and quoteString().
If you're one of the lucky few people using PHP's mysqli extension,
do note that the DB file/class has been renamed from mysql4 to mysqli,
but the online documentation won't reflect this modification until
they're rebuilt on Sunday. Similarly, there are a few other features
and documentation bugs that won't show up there until then either.

What is performance like using this class? I've gone through the class and
it just seams to be over kill, for a DB API (13 databases).
Are there any time stats showing the different time in using a single DB API
class to the PEAR class.

unfortunately i tried mdb and it was totally unusable and badly documented,
and to port pear db over to mdb was impossible, i find pear db ok, even
adodb is cool, i had to build my own class specifically just for mysql with
pretty good performance as no others could.

Hi there, i have finally built a project space for work, its a collaborate
space for storing important key documents (not public), what is the best
way to store these, outside the web directory or would it be safe within a
htaccess protected directory ? Being that to access that directory i would
have to send the login and pass to the link of the file which i fopen up
and either header output to the browser or download.

If you're going to open the files via fopen on the local filesystem,
your htaccess settings have no implication on this at all. For files
like this I store them outside of the web root and fopen them from my
PHP script and stream them to the browser. That is on a dedicated
server where I know no-one has access to the directory they are stored
in and it can never be found via the web server. Your mileage may
vary.

Have you ever downloaded php package to install? Or you only created a
empty directory C:\PHP4?:)
I suggest you visit www.php.net site or goole 'how to install php on
windows' to find the basics.

Dear Listmates,
I am using PEAR::MAIL and my code includes the below;
// Send Email Out
$mailCfg = array(
"host" => "127.0.0.1",
"port" => "25",
"auth" => false
);
$mailRecipient = $hashValue["emailaddress"];
$mailHeader = array(
"From" => "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"To" => $mailRecipient,
"Subject" => "Test Message"
);
$mailBody = $myContent;
$mailMgr =& Mail::factory("smtp", $mailCfg);
$mailResult = $mailMgr->send($mailRecipient,
$mailHeader, $mailBody);
It is found that the variable $mailResult is always
true but the email cannot be received whenever.
On the other hand, in the same machine, I can use the
native function mail() very well. It works well.
So I doubt the problem of PEAR::MAIL. Should I
consider anything?
My server is using Qmail and sendmail command is a
shortcut of Qmail executes (standard way).
Please help.
-stan

I think your problems comes from configuring php with domxml instead of xslt
lib ( that requires sablotron).
You can use domxml's xslt transformations. I actually recomend it. It's
faster and in my opinion more flexible and reliable. (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.domxml.php for more info )
Extract from manual for installing sablotron:
<<
On UNIX, run configure with the --enable-xslt --with-xslt-sablot options.
The SablotronT library should be installed somewhere your compiler can find
it.
Make sure you have the same libraries linked to the SablotronT library as
those, which are linked with PHP. The configuration
options: --with-expat-dir=DIR --with-iconv-dir=DIR are there to help you
specify them. When asking for support, always mention these directives, and
whether there are other versions of those libraries installed on your system
somewhere. Naturally, provide all the version numbers.
>>
Extract from manual for installing domxml:
<<
This extension is only available if PHP was configured
with --with-dom[=DIR]. Add --with-dom-xslt[=DIR] to include DOM XSLT
support. DIR is the libxslt install directory. Add --with-dom-exslt[=DIR] to
include DOM EXSLT support, where DIR is the libexslt install directory.
>>
If you're still having problems, send me the config line for php.

Lucian

Unfortunately history tells me that php like ColdFusion will one day be
bought out by the big corporates, or at least they'll have a considerable
financial vested interest in it.
Not likely. Since PHP is open source if Zend decided to change the
license I'm certain it would be forked and continued as an open source
project. This is the basis of why open source software is so popular and
also why there is negligible gain to be had by Zend in changing the license.
At which time we hope way off in the future, we'll all have to start paying
for support and maintenance contracts.
EVen if it did happen you'd be in no different a position than you are
now. This mailing list is primarily user-supported and would likely
continue even if PHP became a commercial product (which it won't - see
above).
If you want commercial support for PHP you can get it. And you'll pay
for it.
Allaire owned ColdFusion, the developer network was extremely co-operative,
then joint venture between Macromedia and Allaire, now if you want good old
assistance you need a "Devnet" contract.
ColdFusion was never open source (afaik). That's the difference.
For more info on what 'open source' actually means, see
http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php

unfortunately i tried mdb and it was totally unusable and badly documented,
and to port pear db over to mdb was impossible, i find pear db ok, even
adodb is cool, i had to build my own class specifically just for mysql with
pretty good performance as no others could.
Actually it had just as much documentation as PEAR DB since a while (I
will update the MDB docs with DB updates soon .. just as I will port
over the improvements made to DB). Its just that MDB can do way more
than DB and yes all of those advanced features havent been documented.
I am not sure what you mean with "unuseable". Care to enlighten me?
Anyways yes I guess in alot of ways I have been somewhat foolish in this
entire process. Since I did MDB few people helped me even though alot of
people wanted all the nice Metabase features. At the same time I keep
helping out in DB, posting patches etc. So essentially its a one way
direction. I feed DB, but DB doesnt feed MDB (so I have to watch thr CVS
commits to figure out if I should apply the same thing to MDB).
So in the end it seems to me that I was a bit blind sided as to what
people really wanted in PEAR. Appearently they prefer to stay with DB,
adding things here and there to try to add the missing features. While
at the same time ignoring the fact that this will make DB even slower as
it is today (yes MDB is faster than DB, MDB2 even more so .. but that is
another myth I was unable to combat).
Well either way MDB has worked nicely for me and a few people (and will
get continued support) and MDB2 works even better for me. So the effort
was worth it. Just kinda annoyign getting FUD like this spread across
multiple MLs.

No, you've overwritten whatever might have been in the $_POST array
with the image_avant value.
Also even if this would work (which it doesn't) you are still
outputting the HTML to the browser BEFORE you do this anyway.
Try like this (as has already been suggested):
<?
print("<form method=\"post\" action=\"image.php\">\n");
print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenField\"
value=\"$image_avant\">\n");
print("<input type=\"submit\" name=\"avant\" value=\"Avant\">\n");
print("</form>\n");

This will result in
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenField">
That is a hidden field without a value. This will get to the browser.
$_POST["hiddenField"] = $image_avant;
This will assign a value to $_POST["hiddenField"], which means just
that, nothing more. It does not change html output.
You need to use:
print("<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenField\" value=\"".
htmlspecialchars($image_avant) ."\">\n");
print("<input type=\"submit\" name=\"avant\" value=\"Avant\">\n");
print("</form>\n");

Hi!
I have a PHP-file which outputs an image when called from a web page. No
problem there.
However, when I change it to a CGI-file (for use by a webserver), and I
insert a line
#/usr/bin/php -q
before the <?php -tag, the result is that a newline is inserted in the
output, and the image is broken.
How do I fix this?
The reason that I need to have it as a cgi is for sequrity (the web
server runs cgi's as a different user).
I have run other php-files renamed to cgi, that output HTML, and that
works perfectly.
