Hello all,
I'm in the process of building a document-storage system for my firm with
PHP. The goal is this is essentially to allow users to upload documents to
our server (central repository) and allow other users to view/modify these
files.
I have a number of questions, most of them related to optimization of the
code. Any assistance on these from more experienced developers would be
much appreciated.
1. I will be allowing users to upload files of specific types only (DOC,
HTML, TXT, images). My original belief (maybe incorrect) was that allowing
users to upload scripts (.php, .cgi) was dangerous and should be disallowed.
I am now considering whether files, once uploaded, should be renamed - for
example, "abc.txt" gets renamed to "01.03.dat", with a reference in the
mySQL database containing the real name.
First, which of these two approaches is better, performance-wise (or is the
difference insignificant)?
Second, is it correct to say that if I adopt this "rename-after-upload"
approach, I can allow users to upload scripts also (since the file
extensions will be changed and no longer recognized as scripts).
2. Once the file is received by the upload script, I am using the followign
code to INSERT a record. I then use the insert_id() function to set the new
filename as well. Is this approach correct?
$query = "INSERT INTO data (category, owner, realname, created,
description, comment, view, modify) VALUES('$category', '$SESSION_UID',
'$file_name', NOW(), '$desc', '$comment', '$viewStr', '$modifyStr')";
$result = mysql_db_query($database, $query, $connection) or die ("Error in
query: $query. " . mysql_error());
$fileId = mysql_insert_id($connection);
$newFileName = $category . "." . $fileId . ".dat";
3. At the time of upload, it is possible to specify a list of users who can
"view" and "modify" the file. Currently I am storing this list as a
whitespace-separated list in a mySQL TEXT column.
Column "view" data: 3 11 1
At the time of displaying the list, I first SELECT * the entire list of
files, and then use explode() in combination with a "for" loop to split up
the "view" field and match each element againt the current user's ID. Only
if a match is found will I display the filename.
I suspect this approach is not optimal. Can anyone suggest a better approach?
Any insight into these issues will be much appreciated. Please CC a copy of
your response to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
as well as the list (as I will be working on this @ home also and do not
have access to the full digest there)
TIA,
Vikram Vaswani

Rather than a whitespace-separated list, store one ID as a "|ID|". So
your field might look like:
Column "view" data: '|3||11||1|'
That way, knowing the user's ID who is viewing docs, you can select
<<blah blah>> WHERE view LIKE '|$thisusersidnumber|' ... no longer
any need to step through and explode the array.

No.. very bad. Not good. I suggest that you read this article on database
optimization (not to sound rude, but I honestly think you might learn
something, heck, I did when I was writing it =)):
http://www.newbienetwork.net/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=17
Using what you described above with the ||, you have already broken the
first normal form. Serious problems can develop from that implementation.
Rathers, use this format:
document_id users_allowed
----------- -------------
001 1
002 2
003 1
003 2
003 3
Basically the primary key is in fact both the docid and users_allowed
columns. This was is the proper way of displaying the above information.

Hi all
I have to submit username, domain name and password values to the cgi file, It starts
from the login page and submit values to a php page to tie up username and domain name
value together before submit it to the cgi file as two values ( "username+domainname"
, "password") .
The thing is that at php file, how do I submit those values without user click on the
submit button, say make the form submit right away as soon as the page is read?

Check out this page:
http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
and read the paragraphs about the "here doc"´syntax. It might be what you're
looking for.
- Carsten
hi,
try:
<?php
$this = "
select *
from xcxcxc
where var='111'";
echo $this;
?>
i'd say it's even better than qq ;)

Try your luck in ext/standard/array.c in the distribution tarball -

Yep, I had the same problem yesterday with the mail.
Try to just put a semicolon ";" in front of the sendmail path
directive :). It worked with mine! It seems that it wants to find the

Hi,
What are the pros and cons to using PHP as a scripting language like Perl or
Python?
After a couple of years using this excellent language for dynamic web pages
(its first purpose), I'm currently starting to program shell scripts with
PHP. Doing so I encountered some minor problems I turned around like the
need to have 2 .ini files, one for web programming and another for shell
scripting: for instance I don't want error messages cluttered with HTML tags
on shell scripts but I need them for web PHP scripts and so on. Some
behaviors are also missing like the ability to fork() a process for
instance.
Before going too far, I would like to know what other PHP users/gurus think
about using PHP as a general scripting language, what should be avoided and
what are the drawbacks I should take care of. Before someone ask me why not
use Perl or Python: I don't like Perl, I prefer Python, I use it too but I'm
not as easy with it as I am with PHP and I'd prefer put all my efforts in a
single language if it can bring me all I expect...
Thanks for any suggestion, idea, comments.

Hello
I am trying to figure out how long a session survives, if the user does
nothing in his or her browser, to update the session. I'm creating a rather
comprehensive signup-process, and I need to know how much time a user can
spend on each page, before the session expires.
Looking through php.ini left me somewhat confused, as I can't determine
which of the following parameters control sessiontimeouts.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie
; or if 0, until browser is restarted
Apparantly this just controls the cookies lifetime, however, if the
GC-process cleans up the sessions before the cookie times out, obviously the
session will be destroyed.
As far as I can see, the gc-process is controlled by this directive:
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds, stored
; data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the gc process
So, does this mean that the session will persist for 1440 seconds, with the
above directives inserted in php.ini?
Thanks in advance.
--
Søren O.
Yes and no. session.gc_maxlifetime is the right setting, and this means the
session will last *at least* this long. The setting in
session.gc_probability also has an effect. This gives the percentage of page
hits on which gc is launched. For example, if session.gc_probability = 1,
then on one out of every 100 page requests the gc routine gets launched. So,
on a really slow day where the server isn't getting many requests (or late
at night?), then the session can actually last much longer, since the gc
routine isn't getting launched.

You need the jpeg support. Shortly, do this:
(I will use my version names, so you can easyly
find something, if you find newer ones, it's your bussiness)
1. search the internet for:
jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
gd-1.8.3.tar.gz
apache_1.3.14.tar.gz
php-4.0.4.tar.gz
2. unzip all files in a tmp directory (let's say /tmp ):
tar zxvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
the same for gd, php, apache...
3. modify the 'Makefile' of the jpeg kit, to meet your requirements
(only the paths to be correct, as your are)
then issue:
./configure --enable-shared --enable-static
then
make
make install
4. modify the gd Makefile:
out there the your paths and uncomment the 'CFLAGS' line that
enables the jpeg support (something like CFLAGS -DHAVE ljpeg)
then issue:
make
make install
5. now configure php and apache and compile them. it should work.
it took me alot these days to discover all of this..
I hope it helps.
Daniel BI
It.s me, again :)
There is trick to find out if php will be compiled well
(I mean with jpeg support):
when issuing the ./configure command in php,
after putting all the options, put something like this:
./configure ... > cf.log
(this is a redirection comand to write all output info
to the file named cf.log so that you could review it
afterwards. excuse me if you knew it :)
in this way you can examine after the configuration
process what was done (it does it so quickly that I
cannot see all it does, so this way I can).
If all is ok, you should see in that log something like:
.....ImageCreateFromJpeg: yes
If it says no, don't bother yourself by issuing the make
and make install commands. review the previous jpeg
and gd installations and try again.

Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: How to print last row in an array using WHILE?
What you are missing is the first row, not the last row.
To explain:
mysql_fetch_row() operates with an internal pointer which moves one step
down the result set with each call to the function. The first time it is
called, it returns the first row, and moves its pointer to the second row.
The second time it is called, it returns the second row, and moves its
pointer to the third row. And so on. When it gets to the end, it returns
false.
Your while() structure is exactly what's needed to iterate through the
result set. But because you call mysql_fetch_row() once before starting
the while loop, the first row disappears. When the while loop starts, the
internal pointer points to the second row.
So just remove the first mysql_fetch_row() call, and it should work fine.

Hello all,
I am working on a script which locates a file on the system and then tells
the browser to pop open the "Save As" dialog box for download. In order to
do this, I am using the following code:
$filename = $dataDir . $id . ".dat";
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
readfile($filename);
This works fine - however, I would like to redirect the browser to another
page once the download is complete (or once it starts). I have tried adding a
header("Location:next.php")
line to the end of the script above, but it has no effect whatsoever (after
the download is complete, the browser displays an hourglass as though
waiting for something). Do I need to send some kind of "end-of-download"
header...or something else?
Can anyone suggest some possible solutions to this problem?

Okay....
ob_start ("ob_gzhandler") is a very cool thing to use. At least when
you write _to much_ code like I do. And it works perfectly....
....most of the time, i.e.
I've got this problem:
My pages start with the gzhandler (see above) to decrease the amount
of data that should be transferred. Nicest thing is that if your
browser doesn't support any compression, the data will be sent
uncompressed. Very cool. But then Netscape... It understand gzip.
Yes it does but they forgot something. At the point that you want to
print out the page your looking at in your browser, Netscape forgets
to unzip the data. Guess what... a whole lot of crap on the paper.
Well not very much ofcourse _BECAUSE IT'S COMPRESSED!!!_
I don't realy like this bug and I'm wondering if someone maybe has
some solution for this....

If you ar using a *nix system, you probably need to add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
to you httpd.conf

I've check the other articles and came up with the following:
1- take out the extension, html or php, inside the links in way
that I can change from .html to .php and vice-versa without worrie
to change all links.
2- and to add the .html to httpd.conf in order to all files to be parsed.
Not too beatifull but so far, I'm a litte too short in html/php and this is
going to help me to finish the job.
At first, I though that the apache it itself called php and it finds the
escape sequence, not that the entirely file has to be parsed by php.
Thanks for your replays

All,
I'm pleased to announce two initiatives at Great Bridge aimed at
improving the integration of PostgreSQL and PHP, and some exciting
stuff that we're doing as a company to get behind PHP more fully.
First, Great Bridge is partnering with Zend Technologies to include
a fully-integrated installation of PHP in an upcoming Web
developer's edition of Great Bridge PostgreSQL. In addition to
professionally-supported PHP (and other open source Web
technologies), we'll also give our customers the chance to purchase
Zend's value-added PHP tools (IDE, cache, encoder, and more...)
Zend is a major contributor to the open source PHP effort, and
we're very happy to be working with them.
Secondly, we're pleased to announce that three PHP core developers
have joined the Great Bridge advisory committee- Rasmus Lerdorf, the
creator of PHP; Thies Arntzen, an expert in PHP-database
connectivity; and Sascha Schumann, PHP author and provider of
high-performance webchat solutions. Rasmus, Thies, and Sascha will
work with us to help craft our Web developer products and services,
including (of course) a fully optimized free download package.
We'll be putting some development energy into the PHP-Postgres
interface, and look for other ways the two open source projects can
help each other.
We're also very interested in hacker feedback as to what you'd like
to see in a software and service package that revolves around the
Web development "stack." What kind of tools, building blocks, and
applications would you like to see commercially supported? Don't be
shy - please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with any suggestions.
I'll also be at ApacheCon in a few weeks if you'd like to get
together in person.
Thanks,
Ned

Hi folks
I am trying to create a constant name dynamically and then get at the
value.
// We set up the constant
define( CONSTANT_1 , "Some value" ) ;
// Later we try to use it dynamically ...
$constant_number = 1 ;
$constant_name = ( "CONSTANT_" . $constant_number ) ;
// We try to assign the constant value to a variable...
$constant_value = $constant_name ;
But we find that $constant value still contains the NAME of the
constant, and not the VALUE.
Am I misunderstanding something? Is there any way that this can be done?
Thanks

You need another level of indirection. Try:
$constant_value = $$constant_name ;

Your error_reporting level must not be all the way up to E_ALL, because
when I tried your code PHP reported errors that might have helped you solve
the problem. Try this:
// We set up the constant
define("CONSTANT_1", "Some value" ) ; //constant name must be in quotes
// Later we try to use it dynamically ...
$constant_number = 1 ;
eval( "echo CONSTANT_$constant_number;" ) ;//tell PHP to treat the name as
code not as a text string

Hi ppl,
I have been thinking of using PHP to make a ToDo/task list type of
application. I am looking for something different from the usual
Personal Information Managers (PIMs) - they are oriented more towards
appointments than tasks.
Does anybody know of any ongoing (preferably open source) projects in
PHP of a similar nature?
I would like to be able to open/create a task, maybe assign it to
somebody, be able to add comments to it, have user authentication and
the most desired (though uncommon) feature is: a change log. Through a
change log, I want to be able to trace the who and when of comments
added to a task etc.
Any help/pointers will be highly appreciated. Thanks,

Hi folks
I had 2 suggestions from the list:
1) indirection - $constant_value = $$constant_name ;
I had already tried this, but couldn't get it to work. Unless I am
missing something it just gives an "Undefined Variable" error.
2) eval("\$constant_value = $constant_name;") ;
This does work. Thanks Paul!

Warning: Undefined variable: user in C:\PHP\Test_Scripts\testdb3.php on line

etc.
hi anyangwe,
either define the variables or do what most people do and turn down error
reporting. see :
Reporting Errors :
-------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/phpdevel-errors.php
pay special attention to E_NOTICE. for example, the following should give
a similar errors with E_NOTICE on :
print $array[index] // Always use quotes, looks for static variable
// named 'index' first. 'make' in your case.
// sidenote: something like $array[4] is good.
if ($user == '') // Use isset or empty or something similar.
print $notset; // ""
if ($sumbit) // "" or don't depend on submit buttons.
messing with empty variables is okay but use quotes around array index.
always. except when index is a number (not associative). it works
without but having php look for static variables first wastes energy and
will cause unexpected results if it happens to exist.
this is set in php.ini through error_reporting setting and also the
following function has useful information within it :
error_reporting -- set which PHP errors are reported :
-------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php
anyone have more information to share? please do.
warm regards,
philip

In order to use URLs without ? and &, there has to be some re-configuration
in Apache, correct? So somebody who didn't have access to httpd.conf
couldn't use this methodology? Or if this is completely incorrect, where
can I find more info on implementing it strictly in PHP?

Apache allows use of urls without "?" and "&" right out of the box. That's
just a URI without an optional query string: <http://www.php.net>, for
example. I'm guessing you want to use URLs that *do have a query string
and transform them into ones that don't:
<http://www.php.net/find_stuff.php?query=foo&method=bar> becoming
<http://www.php.net/find_stuff/foo/bar/>, right?
You can use an .htaccess file to direct Apache to rewrite URLs as long as
mod_rewrite is installed. See
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html> for a detailed
tutorial.
For a how-to on implementing this in PHP, check out some of the tutorial
sites like phpbuilder.com,weberdev.com, webmonkey.com, etc.

In perl the code to extract browser info is:
$length = $ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'};
What is the equivalent code in PHP.
Thanks
print $HTTP_USER_AGENT; // the variable is already in the global scope.
also $ua = getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT');
Most variables are automatically made a part of the environment in a PHP
script. It's one of the ways PHP makes scripting easier.
The online manual is invaluable for this type of info. http://www.php.net/
Also, write a short script and run it as so:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
You'll see a myriad of variables and their values. It's also handy for
debugging. You can include phpinfo() anywhere to see the output values of
your script.

Excuse me for entering, but I just successfully run pdftotext (the latest

Dear Friends
Before all, Thank you Joe, the ar package was the solution and was located
at the same place that you told me.
Now ,after making and installing all, PHP doesn´t work. I followed this
process:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs
make
make install
I have had a little problem with make install because it doesn´t find
httpd.conf. I have posted it in a folder that could find and locate the
change in the folder that originally was. Now the httpd.conf loads the
module of PHP, the module is located where httpd.conf says, there is a
PHP.INI where should be, but a simple test page doesn´t work. I have looked
at httpd.conf and found some sections that define Directories where could
follow a script secuence. I must generate a section for my PHP test folder?
Is there another special configuration? I´m using Apache 1.3.9
Thank you all.
Emiliano.
I am writing a script, actually modifying PhPSysInfo to include the top
processes used on a machine. So far, no matter what I do, I can only get
it to work via the command line. I get a blank screen when trying it via
the browser:
Tried this:
<?php
$data = `ps auxwww`; echo nl2br($data);
?>
------------------------------------------------
and this:
<TT>
<PRE>
<?php
exec("/usr/bin/top n 1 b | head -8 | sed 's/[\$|^M]//g'", $top);
while (list(,$line) = each($top)){
echo $line, "<BR>\n";
}
?>
</PRE>
</TT>
I used sed to remove control characters..etc. Again, both examples above
work via the command line, but not via a browser. User "www" is able to
run this command as well, so it's not permissions. Help?! :)
nobody has execute permission on ps?
Probably quite the opposite, your webserver user doesn't have execute
permission on ps, so there is no execution or return value.

Bad example (changed to ps and it works actually..but i dont want 'ps', I
want 'top'). Ran top using su to the user 'www' from the command line and
was able to run it fine.

Well, that's a whole different ballpark.
do man top see if it has a batch mode option
With the top on my linux box:
$ top -b

I had a form with just with one button, the action is a PHP file. And when
I hit "enter" the button (submit) form action was done.
Then I put other button (change) on this form, and now when I hit enter,
beside the
"pressed" button is the second one (I want that when I hit "enter" the
submit button is pressed), the PHP stops and the screen of the IE5 stays
blank.
What I should do to solve this problem?
thanks.
Augusto
Hi,
i'm sorry but I don't quite get what you mean. Which button is
pressed. or post the code.

Hi Augusto,
Submit buttons aren't that special, they just send a name=value pair.
Doing something like this :
If the following is pressed, if ($action == 'edit') will return true.
<input type="submit" name="action" value="edit">
If the following is pressed, if ($action == 'new') will return true.
<input type="submit" name="action" value="new">
See? Regarding what gets sent while pressing the enter key, not exactly
sure on that, you can use javascript to help determine. Check out :
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/formquestion.html
And do some google searches for terms such as "enter, key, form, submit,
javascript, html" and some others.
And here's a thread that will help, some ideas within are better then
others :
[PHP] multiple submit buttons :

Hello, this is my first attempt to query and print a result coming from a
database, in this case interbase6.
I got the following error: InterBase: Dynamic SQL Error SQL error code =
-504 Cursor unknown in maingeral.htm on line 8
Here's the code:
<? include("php/header.php");
ibase_pconnect(BANCO,DBUSER,DBPASSWD)
or die ("<script language='javaScript'> alert('" . ibase_errmsg() .
"'); </script>");
$stmt = "select count(*) from soldcars";
$query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>");
$result = ibase_fetch_row($query); // THIS IS LINE 8
$TOTSOLD = $result;
ibase_free_result($query);
$stmt ="select Total from monthsold";
$query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>");
$result = ibase_fetch_row($query);
$TOTMONTH = $result[0];
ibase_free_result($query);
$stmt = "select count(*) from deal where available = 1";
$query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>");
$result = ibase_fetch_row($query);
$TOTAVAIL= $result[0];
ibase_free_result($query);
ibase_commit();
ibase_close();
?>
I have 3 query blocks. the result shows the contents of 2nd and 3rd block
variable:TOTMONH and TOTAVAIL but nothing from the first block, TOTSOLD.
If I comment the first block entirely, I got the same error
(ibase_fetch_row line) on the 2nd block and the only result that appear is
from the 3rd block.
What I am doing wrong?
I've put this statement before the first block to see if $query was empty
but the statement return true and the same error occured in the
ibase_fetch_row line and the echo $query shows everytime Resource id#4
if (isset($query)) {
echo($query);
$result = ibase_fetch_row($query);
$TOTSOLD = $result;
ibase_free_result($query);
} else echo "query not set";
If just comment the following lines, everything works.... Please help...
I'm getting nut !!
<? include("php/header.php");
ibase_pconnect(BANCO,DBUSER,DBPASSWD)
or die ("<script language='javaScript'> alert('" . ibase_errmsg() .
"'); </script>");
$stmt = "select count(*) from soldcars";
$query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>");
// $result = ibase_fetch_row($query);
// $TOTSOLD = $result[0];
// ibase_free_result($query);
$TOTSOLD ="COMMENTED";
$stmt ="select Total from monthsold";
$query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>");
$TOTMONTH = $result[0];
ibase_free_result($query);
$stmt = "select count(*) from deal where available = 1";
$query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>");
$result = ibase_fetch_row($query);
$TOTAVAIL= $result[0];
ibase_free_result($query);
ibase_close();
?>
Since ibase_query returns true if the query succeeds I've tried this, but
with the same problem with ibase_fetch_row:
$stmt = "select count(*) from soldcars";
if ($query = ibase_query($stmt) or die ("<script
language='javaScript'>alert('" . ibase_errmsg() . "'); </script>")){
$result = ibase_fetch_row($query);
$TOTSOLD = $result[0];
ibase_free_result($query);}
Hi:
I am trying to set up a simple script that will verify that all the blanks
in a form have been filled out and then submit that to mySQL. If the form
has not been completely filled out I want it to redirect them back to the
original form. I know that the mySQL part of the script works, but I am
unable to get the part of the script that checks the form input to see if
everything was filled out to work. It seems to bypass this part of the
script and enter the info into mySQL . Here is what I have so far:
If (($fname == " ") || ($lname == " "))
{
header("Location: http://callook.org/member_joinform.html");
}else{
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "name", "password");
mysql_select_db("dBase",$db);
$sql = "INSERT INTO
members
(fname,lname,address,city,state,zip,country,email,username,password)
VALUES
('$fname','$lname','$address','$city','$state','$zip','$country','$email','$user
name','$password')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
I hope the formatting comes out right. I am sure it is something simple I
have missed but I have tried the script several different ways and nothing
seems to work. Thank you for any help.
Sincerely,
Louis Brooks
BTW: Is there a faq for this list before I go asking anymore questions?
This code is checking if $fname and $lname are equal to a single blank
character. Is this what you want? My guess is you really want
if(($fname == "") || ($lname == ""))
Another way to write this is
if( (!$fname) || (!$lname) )

Hi,
if ($name == " ") { .... checks for a space in $name.
"empty" is either if (§name == "") without a free space
between "" or you could do it with empty($mane)
if (empty($name)) is true if it is empty (who would
have thought this?)

Heyzz Dude!
I've got a problem with dbase, do you think you can help me?
http://www.ripwares.com/~np2k/norway-warez/admin/create.php
here's the script:
-------------------------
<?
$dbname = "tedst.dbf";
$def =
array(
array("date", "D"),
array("name", "C", 50),
array("age", "N", 3, 0),
array("email", "C", 128),
array("ismember", "L")
);
if (!dbase_create ($dbname, $def))
print "<strong>Error!</strong>";
?>
-----------------------
try this, you'll get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: dbase_create() in
/home/sites/site1/users/np2k/web/norway-warez/admin/create.php on line 16
Do you know the problem, I also saw your ad on php.net about dbase
"./configure --enable-dbase".
Where to put this?
Thanks in acvance

Hello All,
Apachecon is next week and I am preparing to request a BOF (Birds Of A
Feather) for the PHP community. It will be an hour long session that is
basically an open forum for users of PHP to meet and talk about PHP.
What I would like from all you out there is a list of possible topics to be
used as a starting point for discussion.
Please just email them back to me as I am not on this list.

Just a note to say that I have written a couple of functions, to calculate to the
