Re: [PHP] Re: Frameworks
Radicore is built using PHP, so if PHP can run under IIS then so can Radicore. If you already have a working PHP installation running under IIS then Radicore should work.

For example, if you are writing an administrative web application and you want user authentication, dynamic menus, role based access control, audit logging without database triggers, built-in workflow, and internationalisation facilities then you might want to take a look at Radicore (http://www.radicore.org/) As well as having all the above features it has a custom built Data Dictionary which can generate all the basic code for you. This enables you to start with nothing more than a database schema which you then import into the Data Dictionary, and from there you can press buttons to generate the database table classes and also buttons to generate the scripts to view and maintain those tables. All this without having to write a single line of code. It uses a catalog of transaction patterns which deal with single tables, one-to-many relationships and even many-to-many relationships.

Thank you for your post and the link to your rant. Indeed I am a PHP newbie
and have fallen into the advice I have been given through google. . .
I have added an exit and probably owe you a donut as I had to remove a
couple of echo's from my code! However, the good news after all of this is
that my code is now working and I can finish off my tests.

PHP didn't do it.
Your zip routines may have done it.
Your code may have done it.
But PHP is not, no its own, just outputting the directory info for no
real reason.
Put an exit right before you readfile() and the headers.
You may need to move the headers down below all the code that
calculates what's getting zipped up and all that...

If you are using Apache's mod_auth_ldap to implement authentication and access control, your Apache configuration (in .htaccess file or server configuration file) will have to specify how this is to work. Apache will present a standard HTTP challenge for username and password and deny access if these are invalid for the requested URL. Your PHP appliction will be able to see the username of the authenticated user (as the server variable AUTH_USER). Using mod_auth_ldap means that you don't need to code anything in PHP - all access control is done by Apache.

Re: [PHP] Authentification and LDAP (SSO / Single Sign-On)
On Tuesday 07 November 2006 12:37, you wrote: So how can i implement a SSO via PHP only ? To use LDAP from within PHP you need to have a version of PHP with LDAP support available. Check the PHP online docs for how to do this. Assuming you know how to use PHP to create a standard looking login box then what you then need to do to check a username and password is to attempt to bind to the LDAP server using these credentials. If this fails, something is wrong with the credentials and you can decide how to handle it in your code. The main thing you'll need to know is how to construct the dn from just the username. If you know about the LDAP directory you want to use then you'll probably know how to do this. If not, talk with your directory admin. The code you would write would be along these lines, assuming you've just collected $username and $password from the login box... $dn = uid=$username,ou=Accounts,o=Your Company,c=US; $ds=ldap_connect(your.ldap.server); $r=ldap_bind($ds, $dn, $password); If ldap_bind() succeeds you have an authenticated user. There are sometimes a few extra things you may need to do, depending on your directory server setup. For example, you may need to explicitly set the LDAP protocol to use, or you may need to first do an anonymous bind to the directory and run a query to get the correct dn for the user if you can't construct the dn as in the above example. There are lots of code snippets in the online PHP docs that cover these things.

Re: [PHP] postgreSQl and images
On Mon, November 6, 2006 5:17 pm, Børge Holen wrote: aaight... I get yer point there, BUT you see, what do you do when an artists changes it name... forget it, that was a bad choice... Oh no, it's a GREAT choice. First of all, if they really really changed their name, then I create a new record for them, and they have 2 Artist Profiles, so I can maintain historical accuracy. E.g., if Prince had played our venue every year, I'd want the shows in 1993-- to be 'Prince' and then from 1993 to 2000 to be 'tafkap' and then I'd be using the same pre-1993 record again from 2000 onwards. (Assuming his name does not change again.) I have done this many many many times for artist who marry, rename their bands, have side projects or perform solo as well as with their band, or suffer some other identity crisis. If you've worked with musicians, you would know that all of the above are not uncommon experiences. :-) If it's just a typo in an artist name, I just fix it. But the artist name is the ONE field we simply do not let the artist have access to. They'd end up destroying the historical accuracy of our web calendar listing their gigs back to 2003 (and earlier, if I ever get the owner to drag in his dead-tree bookings calendars so I can input them...) And since the ID3 tag comes from the DB in real-time, pre-pended to the mp3 stream with the static audio portion of the mp3 following, the actual output MP3 stream is corrected for the artist name as soon as I fix the typo. PHP ID3 rocks. :-) Actually, if you download the same MP3 file 2 successive times from my server, and if the artist has multiple images, you could trivially prove that I change the stream on the fly, as I choose the image at random. I think Rachel Sage has the most images in there, so that would be a good choice, if she has turned on downloads in her account. That's why only a tiny fraction of the 65000 mp3s are available. Artists have to login, choose the tracks and their usage parameters (streaming, download, radio, hifi, lofi, cafe speaker system) and they have to sign a release form. [aside] The release form is the worst possible non-contract I could manage to draft, on purpose, to avoid locking the artist into anything, while keeping the cafe lawyer happy -- Dang thing doesn't even have a DATE on it, much less read as an enforcable contract. So your version of the MP3 and mine will not match on our browser, wrt the ID3 meta-data being different images. The static audio portion will remain the same, of course. anyway... you see, in one of my fields of interests, you got dogs... see, dogs can change name, not just the calling name, but I mean completely change it all. second, they change apperance with growth. So to keep track on stuff you need to make a system work for you, not the other way around... Hence, all in the db... but no way someone would be * enought to put ... you know what.. In that case, I'd suggest a series of related records for each dog tied back to some unique ID. If there is an industry-standard ID for a dog that never changes throughout the course of its life, tie that into the central ID, or just make one up and convince users to tie their records together correctly through the business logic. I don't even attempt to map out which artists are really the same as which other artists, as the can of worms and social issues this would open up are legion. Prince/tafka looks a mere piker in this regard compared to some of the data I'd have to deal with... I'll pick a funny story of an artist, just as an example... Ken Vandermark was interviewed a couple years ago, after winning the McArthur Foundation genius grant (sic) and they got to talking about all the bands he was in. He's a free/improv jazz artist, plays mostly saxophone. Anyway, the interviewer asked him just how many bands he was in. Ken's answer was something not unlike this: I don't know. You'd have to track down all the bands I ever played in, and ask them [shrug]. If we played together every 2 or 3 years for awhile, but it's been 5 years now since we've been together, are we still a band? I dunno. I guess it just depends on whether we make plans to play together again or not. Call it about 500 bands, give or take. Now Ken's an extreme example, but these and similar issues turn out to be pretty non-trivial, once you start digging into it. NOone would EVER put a single mp3 file in a db ;) lol. There we agree. I don't know that nobody would ever put a single MP3 in a db. They might have a zillion teeny tiny MP3 files that they can more efficiently serve up from the DB, and have the research and stats to prove that it's better on their system. But if you have to ask the question about this matter, I'd say putting the data in your file-system is the Right Answer. :-) -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

Re: [PHP] list of countries
Sorry, maybe I should have posted on that list. My post was about the list rather than about using MySQL. My initial thought was that country lists would have been something that people in this forum would have encountered and was also hoping that some people here would have multi-language experience for country lists in other languages. Thanks to all that have pointed me in the right direction. -James On Nov 7, 2006, at 4:41 PM, Rory Browne wrote: A MySQL list would have been a better place for this.

[PHP] pass value to next page
Hi , Newbie question, I have a form, form acttion=search.php3 method=post input . input... ... /form The search.php3 goes to query mysql database to see if the infomation is new or existed, if new, will promt two radio buttons ( Yes or No) to confirm if you like to enter the info inot DB .The form will action=result.php My question is how we can passwd the values which are entered in first page to result.php page. Thank you for your help
Re: [PHP] pass value to next page
Hi, In search.php3, you'd need to save the values into inputs of type hidden. You can then query them in result.php as per usual. I hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] pass value to next page
you could also do this all on one page... with different if statments to
direct which part of the process your actually in.
if (processone) {
blah...
blah...
}
if (processtwo) {
blah...
blah...
}
this is how all of my pages work, to an extent, and it make things much
easier not having to pass variables from page to page. hope it helps.

Re: [PHP] Sorting MySQL queries
On 07/11/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: you really need to deal with this issue at the database design/data entry level. doing things on the sort to exclude (otherwise undefined) initial articles (as some have suggested) is very maintenance heavy as you have to update the sort portion for every language your data are entered in. additionally, an initial word that's an initial article in one language may not be in another. at the database design/data entry level the common approaches include: - a separate field for initial articles - separate sort and print fields - an initial article offset indicator that is used for sorting the first of these is probably the easiest and most portable. the last is easy, but probably the least portable. i consider the separate print/sort fields to be the least desirable since it's a lot of redundant data that has to be managed and maintained. in my experience, if you encounter a setup that doesn't support the proper handling of initial articles it's best to fix things at the database/data entry level as soon as possible -- otherwise the resolution just gets more expensive (however you define that). Although I wouldn't have known to define it as such, I also don't like the idea of redundant data littering the DB. But it does seems to be the easiest method to implement as far as coding, and the fastest way to retrieve the data.

[PHP] Nested includes - Relative paths?
Hi All, I'm relatively new to PHP but I've had some training and feel quite confortable programming it... Anyway, I'm having a problem in understanding the correct behaviour of the include statement/function. Imagine that I have an INDEX.PHP file in my root directory and I want to include the file INCLUDE\SESSION.PHP. I would use the statement: ?php include 'include/session.php'; ? What if, inside the file INCLUDE\SESSION.PHP I want to include the file INCLUDE\DATABASE.PHP? Should I use the statement: ?php include 'database.php'; ? because DATABASE.PHP and SESSION.PHP are in the same directory or should I use the statement: ?php include 'include/database.php'; ? because INCLUDE\SESSION.PHP is going to be included in INDEX.PHP witch is NOT in the same directory of DATABASE.PHP? In other words... When PHP processes an include statement does it include the file where the include statement is and then process its contents (eventualy including other files) or does PHP processes the file to be included and only includes it after that?

[PHP] Time-Zone juggling
I have a PostgreSQL database chockful of datatype:
time without time zone
The times I chucked in there are, like, '7:00 PM' and they all seem
fine...
Until I start trying to generate an RFC 882 datetime stamp. :-(
At that point, the fact that the server lives in Portland OR, and my
times are all based in Chicago means that my output is:
Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:00:00 PDT
even though the actual date/time in question is REALLY at 20:00 in
Chicago.
I'm just doing the naive:
select whatdate, whattime from ...
list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', $whatdate);
list($h, $i, $s) = explode(':', $whattime);
$datetime_882 = date(DATE_RFC882, mktime($h, $i, $s, $m, $d, $y));
This is PHP4, and I've done an if(!defined()) define() to get the
DATE_RFC882 constant.
What is the least-stupid way to fix this, and get 20:00 in the
Portland OR server to turn into:
Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:00:00 CDT
which is what time it really was.
E. Without changing the schema which means having to re-do
everything else in the application. That's probably the RIGHT way to
fix it, but that ain't happening.
I've been dinking with gmmktime() and reading about setlocale() but
none of them seem to be the Right Answer.
I got a couple stupid ways I think I could fix it, and I'd rather not
do those, cuz they're stupid. :-)
E.g., str_replace(array('PDT', 'PST'), array('CDT', 'CST'), $datetime);
This time zone stuff always gets me head all spun around, I admit freely.

Without changing the schema which means having to re-do everything else in the application. That's probably the RIGHT way to fix it, but that ain't happening. Yeah... I ran into the same stuff a few weeks ago with the DST change. The quickest solution that is *almost* OK is using putenv(tz=america/montreal) or putenv(tz=america/san_diego) etc.. (should really be the date_default_timezone_get/set functions) Datetime fields do not have timezone stored (mysql too.) The only real solution to this problem is to always store datetimes in GMT/UTC. That is the correct thing to do, and until that is done our workaround still has one problem (that isn't big enough to warrant reworking the ticketing code that inserts to the db...) The remaining problem is that until we store in UTC we will never know which 01:30:00 a timestamp refers to, EDT or EST (Eastern Daylight, or Eastern Standard.) In UTC this doesn't happen. Of course there is no problem for spring, only in the fall time change. This can be a big problem to some apps, and others might be fine with the workaround like we've done where you loose a tiny bit of data (It's 08:00 on the day after the timechange, is this ticket from 01:30:00 6.5 or 7.5 hours old? who cares.. just reply.)

When PHP hits an include() (or require(), or include_once(), etc.), it copies the contents of the included file into the running context and executes it. That process is recursive. All include statements are parsed based on the defined include path, where . is interpreted relative to the active context, vis, the script that the web server itself is running. That means that if the include path contains ., and apache executes a.php, and a.php includes foo/b.php, and b.php includes c.php, then c.php is looked up on the file system as ./c.php, relative to a.php, since that's what apache is actually running.
