hi,

Here's an improved version of this patch, which doesn't SEGFAULT on invalid
input. Someone just brought up this topic on php-de and qmail, so I thought
there is some interest in this patch .. Everbody else just ignore me :)

[PHP-DEV] Re: Default Return-Path with mail() and qmail

Hi Andi,

 Are you sure you should be using malloc()/free() and not emalloc()/efree()?
 Also please use strlcpy() instead of strncpy(). (Weird I mentioned it twice 
 in one day :)
 http://www.courtesan.com/todd/papers/strlcpy.html

Probably there are even more things broken in my patch :) I'm quite new to C
and I'm happy it works without segfaulting. strlcpy looks interesting and
I'll read through the link as soon as I find some free time.

Oh, this patch is explicitly *NOT* meant to go into the main branch. It's
just an additional patch for whoever needs it, sorry for not pointing this
out more explicitly.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Default Return-Path with mail() and qmail

hi,

 Good because I havn't seen any positive responses to this and I'm still
 negative on it.

You don't have to use it.

 Apart from disagreement with the prinicipal here I'd also ask: Where is
 the portion of the patch to support Win32 SMTP via the MAPI interface?
 ((as opposed to sendmail_path interface which you've covered on all
 platforms))

This is not necessary, at least not with qmail. qmail-smtpd DOES already
use the From-Header to write the Return-Path -- compared to qmail-inject,
which DOESN'T, and instead uses a default address (such as
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

 A more generalized fix would be to append the Return-Path to the headers
 string at the top of the php_mail function so that it's caught by both the
 sendmail block and by the TSendMail call (MAPI).
 
 Any modification to behavior which effects one platform should affect all
 platforms equally.  While Win32/sendmail is kept equal, Win32/MAPI (used
 by the majority of Win32 users) is not.

I'm just providing a working solution to a more or less common problem. I
know there are others who are having the same problem, so I am providing
a solution to everyone interested.

Feel free to post an improved version of my patch. Andi kindly did some
code auditing, so there are many things that can be rewritten much nicer :)

I agree, a singly linked list seems like a no-brainer; it's an ideal

Re: [PHP-DEV] Default Return-Path with mail() and qmail

2002-11-29 Thread Daniel Lorch

hi,

 I'm a big -1 on this.  The patch will not actually solve the root problem.

 On Unix systems, the MTA needs to know that the webserver user is
 'trusted' to masquerade as another user.  In exim this would be the
 'trusted-users' directive, sendmail, qmail, and postfix have similar
 directives.

Thanks for pointing this out. I was pretty sure there was something un-RFC-ish
about my patch. However, I think the patch creates a more intuitive behaviour:
If the user supplies a From:  header, he expects all replies coming back to
this address -- be it human generated responses or bounce messages.

In contrast to qmail-inject (handling local mails), qmail-smtp (the SMTP-daemon)
DOES use the From header (of the mail envelope, not header) for the
Return-Path. I would call this inconsistent behaviour. However, I'm currently
discussing this on the qmail mailing list, please don't be bothered by this
here :)

 You might consider recommending a configuration setting like the following 
 in each VirtualHost block on a multi-domain Apache server.  This sends 
 bounces and replies to the webmaster of the domain if no attempt is made to 
 set the From: and Reply-to: headers when mail() is used.
 
 VirtualHost www.mydomain.com
 pph_admin_value sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's actually a good proposition. The documentation team might want to
catch this up. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with my setup, as I'm
(mod_cgi-)wrapping all scripts.

[PHP-DEV] Default Return-Path with mail() and qmail

2002-11-28 Thread Daniel Lorch

hi,

I was fed up with getting a lot of bounce mails of users on my host, who
apparently just have discovered the mail() function in PHP and are writing
mails to bogus recipients.

Apparently, the default Return-Path that is being set by our MTA (qmail)
is Return-Path: anonymous@myhost, even if the user has set a From:
header. I thought this was quite counter-intuitive, as any error messages,
such as not available mailboxes etc.. were bouncing back to me instead of
the users. 

Instead of documenting this behaviour and telling all users that they
should also add a Return-Path to their mail() commands, I decided to
write a patch which, if no Return-Path header was set, would use the
From header instead (if it existed, of course). 

I'm pretty sure this is not the right thing (tm) to do, as I should
rather fix this problem with my MTA. However, I am currently too dumb
to understand qmail's sources (DJB should have really commented his
sourcecode), therefore I just did this quick fix. I posted it here
because I heard others having the same problem. All others please
just ignore this posting :)

Warning(s):
  - This is NOT a general-purpose patch (do not apply to main branch)
  - This patch probably breaks all rules on coding style and consistency
(malloc instead of emalloc etc..)
  - I know C for only a couple of weeks. Don't blame me if everything
crashes and your machine burns down.

Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] Redirect on Error

2002-11-26 Thread Daniel Lorch

hi,

 I fired off a mail to PHP-DE asking the average PHP user about localization
 of error messages. My mail might be a bit biased, so if you have something to
 say, do it now. I will summarize the results here. 

Ok, here's the summary of my NON-representative poll to PHP-De about localization
of error messages in PHP:

  Pro: 1
  Contra: 8

Some thoughts that were brought up:

  - PHP developers should not waste their time on localization, instead focus 
on increasing verbosity of existing error messages (a meaningless error
message in english will be meaningless in every other language as well).

  - The english used in error messages is only a small subset of the whole
language (come on, everyone knows enough MTV-english to understand error
messages). However, other countries might have more problems as their
languages don't come from the same language family.

[PHP-DEV] Re: [Zend Engine 2] RFC: Conversion patch

2002-11-26 Thread Daniel Cowgill

So why do the conversion in arithmetic? This seems bizarrely inconsistent to
me:

?
print (int)  0xA + 0;   // prints 0
print (int) (0xA + 0);  // prints 10
?

I think it's reasonable to expect those expressions to return the same value.

hi,

 Daniel, Sterling is arguing in favor of having localized
 error messages.

s/agree/disagree/ :)

Do what you think is right. However, I think it just adds another level of
unnecessary complexity. We can safely assume a certain level of intelligence
when dealing with php developers (developers as in developing IN PHP).
PHP is not a application as in Windows XP or Media Player, but it's a
development environment where the users necessarily has to be confronted
with a couple of error messages. For the sake of brevity, these are kept
in english and this shouldn't change, IMAO. 

Developers don't have to be spoon-fed. Really.

Re: [PHP-DEV] [PATCH] Redirect on Error

hi,

 I'm not really arguing for or against this, but since when did speaking 
 english become a corollary of being intelligent?  And even if we accept 
 the rather ridiculous hypotheis that all php developers can comprehend 
 english, what if they don't want to, or are more confident using their 
 native tongue in day-to-day work?  Why deny that to them on prinicple?

I wasn't trying to equate intelligence with the knowledge of a language
(ok, I did, but that wasn't my point, really). We are arguing about
implementing localized error messages, because we think it will
  
  a) attract more people to PHP
  b) faciliate their (and our) lives

While I think that localization can bring SOME advantages, the
disadvantages will overweigh. Error messages are really very brief and
only consist of a few words, which can be quickly looked up. However,
what about the maintenance headache when you are assigned to a project
written in a foreign language?

I would prefer to have the developers getting used (yes, meaning
educate them) to english being a universal language, for both the
language constructs, error messages, documentation. This will be
more advantageous in the long run.

yes?

Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: ODBTP, a possible solution for MS-SQL and other databases

2002-11-13 Thread Daniel Swarbrick

The reason for not installing the ODBC drivers on the webserver is that the
database referenced by the drivers are simply on-disk files (ie, no socket
communication involved). We would need to allow SMB traffic through our
firewall if we were to use the ODBC drivers on the webserver, which is
something I'm not prepared to do. I don't mind allowing a single, non-MS TCP
port through the firewall tho.

 In some ways it is similar to an ODBC to ODBC bridge.  Typically bridges
 are used for UNIX to Win32 connectivity.  In your case it appears that the
 client and server are both Win32 platforms.  Is there a reason why you
 cannot install the required ODBC drivers on the machine running IIS?  We
 are using ODBTP on an Apache / PHP / Solaris server to access databases
via
 ODBC drivers on a Win2K server.  However, I am certain that the PHP
 extension should work on the Win32 platform.  Unfortunately I do not
 possess the knowledge on how to compile and install extensions for
 Win32-based PHP.

 The ODBTP software is not quite ready for prime time (primarily due to a
 lack of documentation).  If you like I can give you the URL to what's
 available now.

 If we decide to add any readable timestamp to the file we'd need to use
 some PHP script to display the files. In this case it would be trivial to
 make the script sort the files by their creation date.

Beware. For every task the appropriate tool.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Thread Reading

2002-09-19 Thread Daniel Lorch


hi,

   And sensitive cleartext data like SQL passwords can always be passed
 through environment variables. For instance, Apache has the 'Setenv'
 directive to set this, and the httpd.conf file can be made only readable by
 root.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the documentation to mod_auth_external reads
like this:

  By default, mod_auth_external passes the user's login and password to the external
  authentication program by putting them in environment variables called USER and PASS.
  On some versions of Unix (including SunOS and IRIX) any user logged onto the server
  can see these values by doing a ps -e command.

  http://www.unixpapa.com/mod_auth_external.html

Maybe this is out of context, but according to that documentation, using environment
variables for sensitive data is not a good idea -- although I cannot confirm this,
as I do not have access to SunOS or IRIX.

hi,

  Yes, it would look like this:
 
  1. ./configure appropiate stuff
  2. make
  3. make clean
  4. goto 1
 
  - Sascha
 
 So we do not have the possibility to build all three without
 make clean in one go. I would very much appreciate that
 since it would make developers life much easier...

Use the force, luke.

  #!/bin/bash

  for mode in apache cli cgi; do
./configure --with-${mode}
make
make clean

Maybe this script doesn't work, but you get the idea :)

hi,

 Congratulations Derick.
 Most deserving recognition for a terrific job.
 I will add to that my humble thanks.

No offense, but I think other developers should be mentioned as well. I very
much like wez' work on innovative ideas - even though his results might not be
suitable for the masses (such as having PHP client-sided embedded into redmond's
browser etc.).

But generally, I think honoring hard working developers is a good idea, as they
only seldomly get positive feedback on their work (what they certainly deserve).

I use apache2filter in production myself so it's really not a deployment

needed to gather a critical mass of production installations in order to get
a substantial amount of feedback, feature requests, bug reports and
successful tests on different platforms and configurations as to brand the

[PHP-DEV] Re: User-space functionality of apache2filter

2002-06-02 Thread Daniel BODEA


 There's a great difference here, apache2filter misses many of
 the functions provided by the apache sapi. The question is,
 is someone working on adding them or are they silently
 dropped?

 I'm asking for two reasons: consistency and documentation.

apache2filter is a long way from production status. A previous thread stated
it's some 6 months away from real beta quality due to the lack of time from
developers familiar with the apache 2 API. I plan on doing some work on this
myself but that only means that I'll get to dig into the code in a couple of
weeks or so.

[PHP-DEV] fopen zend wrapper and relative paths

2002-05-31 Thread Daniel BODEA


The bug #11326 was closed after Zeev added the current executing file's
directory to the search path, which solved half of the problem. The original
bug #9673 though is still open, and the last comment is pointing to the
other half of the problem, dot relative paths.

Right now, in main/streams.c/_php_stream_fopen_with_path the dot case is
dealt with right from the start and no other paths get expanded.

What I propose in order to conclude this matter, to get an intuitive
behavior and to remain fully compatible with older versions is to add only
the current executing file's directory _after_ the cwd of the main file for
dot path expansion.

This way the include and live parts of a project get fully decoupled,
nested includes work as expected (from everyone's perspective), no longer
the need to carry arround a root variable (anticipating that the user may
disregard the DOCUMENT_ROOT and install the product relative to something
else), and the language scales a little bit better.

I'm gonna start doing this right now if no one digs up any security problems
that refused to cross my mind.

[PHP-DEV] $_FILES, is there ant bug?

2002-05-27 Thread Daniel CAstro


My code is much more extense than this, but I guess this is the source of my
problem.
arquivo is a member of a form, it is a file type, declared like input
type=file name=arquivo...
I need to know if there is a file selected or not, that is the reason of the
bug.
When I run this code, through the form it does not print anything, even when
I choose a file on the previous html (html with a form, with an action
calling this script...)  My version of PHP is 4.x
?php
 $nome = $_POST['nome'];
 $des = $_POST['des'];
 $eng = $_POST['eng'];
 $id  = $_POST['id'];
 $tabela= $_POST['tabela'];
 $tabela_nova  = $_POST['dd_tipo'];
 $arquivo  = $_FILES['arquivo']['name'];
 //Conexao com BD...
 printf(%s,$arquivo);
?

Why it is happenig???

Re[2]: [PHP-DEV] PHP web farms (i.e. why msession or something like it)

2002-05-25 Thread Daniel Lorch


Hi,

 Chris Shiflett:
 The regular session implementation in PHP is extremely flexible, right? 
 Sure, since you can write your own functions to do things such as store 
 session data in a database, etc. However, there is *nothing* to help the 
 average developer implement a professional-grade state management system 
 out of the box. [..]

Let's make it a documentation problem, then:

  Using PHP in web farms or the like.

Having msession in PHP's Core doesn't mean people understand what it's
good for. Moving it into PECL doesn't keep people, who *KNOW* what it
does still using it.

Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP as an ActiveScript Engine

2002-05-25 Thread Daniel Lorch


Hi,

this is pretty amazing. Making PHP available on the client side could
make it more popular among developers to create portable applications
while still using known tools (such as HTML and PHP - and not having to
move to GTK).

I could imagine a starter application which launches a browser
window and then displays the PHP application - for example as an
application/presentation distributed on CD which requires interactive
elements (such as connecting to a remote MySQL server to download an
up-to-date price list etc..).

Good work, wez.

Hi,

 Let's make it a documentation problem, then:
   Using PHP in web farms or the like.

I'd like to make a suggestion here: What do you think of splitting up
the current PHP Manual into three major parts:

  1. Developing in PHP (for PHP users)
  2. Extending PHP
  3. PHP for System Administrators

Part 3 would cover all topics interesting only to a system
administrator, such as installing PHP, security issues (open_basedir,
safe_mode, alternatives such as fastcgi, tweaking the configuration on
a vhost basis, ..), installing PHP on web farms etc..

These topics usually don't interest the average PHP developer - why
keep it in the same manual, then?

What do you think about this?

No reaction the first time so this is a repost.

Diffed against the stable 4.2.0 source tree. Adds an optional third bool to

behavior is unchanged.

[PHP-DEV] [PATCH] add PATH_INFO and PATH_TRANSLATED to apache 2 sapi ... RE

Would this be a good moment to re post this patch a 2nd time? :)

 Diff'ed against the stable 4.2.0 source package.

Adds the same behavior as the CGI and ISAPI modules with regard to PATH_INFO
and PATH_TRANSLATED variables to the Apache 2 filter interface. If the user
does not specifically set the AcceptPathInfo configuration variable to
off, the patch passes the accepted state to the core module who makes them
available to the PHP output filter.

As the default PHP content handler is no longer among us, it would probably
be a good idea to put all this in the fixup phase. Still for now I think it
gets the job done.

it doesn't hurt to build them.
i find it much more annoying if you can't be sure wether the 
distributed/used build supports extension x or y per default.

Well, the specific example I saw was the extension dir, which is an ini 
setting.  I would argue that pear_installdir could also be an ini 
setting.  bindir does need some solution outside the ini file, maybe, but 
I think there could be some way to work around that.  The reason I am 
*kind of* arguing against using the registry for these is due to having 
multiple installations of PHP.  I currently have 6, 5 installs and my 
compiled version, so that I can test things.  Dealing with php.ini in that 
situation is bad enough, adding registry configuration on top of that will 
make it even a bigger pain.

one could use the version string as a subkey, this would enable you to use 
different php.inis for different versions.

Re[2]: [PHP-DEV] feature request

2002-04-25 Thread Daniel Lorch


Hi,

 Anyway. There were some discussions lately to implement
 something like word_count() and similar friends. Though I
 don't remember what has happened, you might want to look it
 up in the archive an join the discussion (It was just a week
 ago or so I think).

There were some concerns about performance. A function built-in to PHP
would be certainly faster, and as it was requested already twice,
maybe adding such functions natively to PHP wouldn't be a bad idea.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Addition to session-module (patch included)

2002-04-25 Thread Daniel Lorch


Hi,

 right now the session module can only store one cookie (or
 one info in trans-sid) my patch extends that to one
 user-defined variable so that:

I am not quite sure whether I understood what you are trying to do,
but assumingly you have 2 frames:

  +---+
  |  foo  |
  +---+
  |  bar  |
  +---+

what's wrong about keeping all session-related data in an array?

  $data[foo][counter];
  $data[bar][counter];

and accordingly:

  foo.php
  ===

  ?php

  echo Counter is now . (++$_SESSION['foo']['counter']) . br\n;
  
  ?

  
  bar.php
  ===

  ?php

  echo Counter is now . (++$_SESSION['bar']['counter']) . br\n;
  
  ?

Or did I miss something?

Multiple session IDs only cause confusion. I'm -1.

Yep, just configure'd and built using that script - looks good. MySQL is
connecting with unix socket when specifying simply 'localhost' as the host
to connect to.

The MySQL socket on Slackware 8.0+ systems is in /var/run/mysql/.

Well done...

[PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #16768: mysql_connect(localhost, ...) doesn't connect to localhost! (fwd)


I don't know whether this is related or not, but I've also found that since
upgrading to PHP 4.2.0 it is impossible to get mysql_connect() to connect
via a UNIX socket. No matter whether I specify a socket manually or not, it
always connects via TCP.

I have 4.1.2 running on a different server, and even just specifying
localhost for the database host, automatically connects via UNIX socket.

 Subject: Bug #16768: mysql_connect(localhost,
  ...) doesn't connect to localhost!

 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Operating system: Red Hat Linux 7.2
 PHP version:  4.2.0
 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related
 Bug description:  mysql_connect(localhost, ...) doesn't connect to
localhost!

 After upgrading from PHP 4.1.2 to PHP 4.2.0, MySQL connections fail with
 this error:

 Warning: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

 Apparently, it is trying to connect to 'my.fully.qualified.name' instead
 of 'localhost' as before. This seems wrong because my mysql_connect() call
 uses 'localhost' as the host name:

 mysql_connect(localhost, username, password);

 I can work around this by changing all my MySQL grants from
 'username'@'localhost' to 'username'@'my.fully.qualified.name', but that
 seems unnecessary; this should be fixed in PHP.

 BTW, I've used the same above mysql_connect() call since the PHP 3.x days
 and it's always worked fine, until now.


 My PHP configure line:
 ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.24 --enable-track-vars \
   --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-gd

 All PHP configuration settings are defaults. (i.e. php.ini =
 php.ini-dist)

 Apache version is 1.3.24. MySQL version is 3.23.49a.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #16768: mysql_connect(localhost, ...) doesn't connect to localhost! (fwd)


Yes, I have MySQL running all the time. I noticed this in
ext/mysql/config.m4 :

  MYSQL_SOCK=/tmp/mysql.sock
  for i in  \
  /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock \
  /var/tmp/mysql.sock \
  /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock \
  /var/mysql/mysql.sock \
  /Private/tmp/mysql.sock \
  ; do
if test -r $i; then
  MYSQL_SOCK=$i
fi
  done

...which doesn't quite match my socket at /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock -
defaulting to /tmp/mysql.sock.

I also noticed on a phpinfo() output that MYSQL_SOCK = /tmp/mysql.sock.
Immediately below that, both the local and master value of
mysql.default_socket is /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock - which is being picked up
from my php.ini. It's just not having any effect.

I am compiling 4.2.0 right now on the machine previously running 4.1.2, to
see if it works. That machine has a manually compiled MySQL on it though,
and the socket IS /tmp/mysql.sock

Just upgraded the 4.1.2 install, which has mysql socket in /tmp.
Unfortunately, this server now also refuses to connect via UNIX socket,
insisting on using TCP.

HUH? phpinfo() reports MYSQL_SOCKET to be /tmp/mysql.sock, which in this
case is correct!

Even with mysql_connect(localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock, $user, $pass), it still
uses TCP.

Dunno about you, but I'm starting to tear my hair out on this one. I even
resorted to copying the entire ext/mysql directory across from 4.1.2 and
compiling with that. Makes no difference.

Also tried loading MySQL with --skip-networking to disable TCP communication
with mysqld. Not surprisingly, the mysql_connect() call failed completely.
It just flat out refuses to use unix sockets.

Alright, who's broken it?

 via a UNIX socket. No matter whether I specify a socket manually
or
  not,
it
 always connects via TCP.

 I cannot reproduce this. Could you please give us some more info
on
  your
 installation. Also please search for checking for MySQL UNIX
socket
  in
 your config.log and tell us the result.

Re: [PHP-DEV] feature request

2002-04-24 Thread Daniel Lorch


Hi,

 It would be great if there was a function in the filesystem family similar
 to the unix command wc.  It'd be nice to not have to write simple wrappers
 around system calls or creating arrays to get the number of words or lines
 in a file.

function line_count($string) {
  return count(preg_split(/\r?\n/, $string));
}

function word_count($string) {
  return count(preg_split(/\s+/, $string));
}

There will be a PEAR-string class, which includes functions similar to
this. I assigned it to me some days ago and I will be working on it as
soon as I have some time left :)

Hi,

 $wc = strlen(preg_replace('/\W*\w*/', 'x', file_get_contents($file));
 Look, no arrays! :-)
  - Stig

is this faster than the array-based solution?

Re[2]: [PHP-DEV] PHP and Threads


Hi,

first of all, thanks for the bugfix. it will go into phpserv 0.02
along with a sf.net account, seperate mailinglists (to not bother php-dev
anymore :))

 Thanks Daniel for your excellent input. I have managed to create a forking
 socket handler, although I am now approched by a new issue. How do I get
 the sockets to communication to each other?

The question should be, how you get the _processes_ to communicate to
each other. Als already mentioned by Steve Meyers, you could use the
signals reserved for user space: SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. You can send
them to another process by using posix_kill: http://php.net/posix_kill

  posix_kill($pid, SIGUSR1);

unfortunately these signals provide only limited functionality.
Another approach to IPC (inter process communication) are named pipes.
I suggest you to have a look at Beej's Guide to Unix Interprocess
Communication, which provides an excellent hands-on introduction on
this topic:

  http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/

Beej's Guide to Network Programming ist worth reading, too :)

 I can process and parse the input from the children individually but when
 upon a certain command being sent by child 1, I want *all* the children to
 be issued a command.

you'd have to broadcast them to all child processes. I would use a

  child --[request]-- parent

  parent -- child 1 \
 -- child 2  |- broadcast
 -- child n /

... approach. Unfortunately my knowledge on this topic is limited.
Maybe there is someone more savvy on this list :)

Re[2]: [PHP-DEV] Major Bug in multiple MySQL Connections?


Hi,

 No, it doesn't satisfy me at all.  Your application design is broken and
 forcing multiple identical connections doesn't solve it at all.  You are
 trying to associate a selected DB with a database connection artificially.

a couple of years ago I was using PHPLIBs db-class and my own
db-class at the same time and I was wondering why these classes mixed
up result sets. After serveral nights of code-review I gave up and
rewrote most parts from scratch. I finally understand why it didn't
work (and don't ask me why I was using two different db-classes, I
can't remember).

What's the rationale behind this silly behaviour? Do you also enforce
people to reuse file-handles?

Re[3]: [PHP-DEV] Major Bug in multiple MySQL Connections?


hi,

this sounds reasonable. But why don't the connection aliases keep
the current db they are working on and if needed, switch back -
transparently to the user? The current implementation only confuses
people.

 It's not a silly behaviour. Database connections are a very limited
 resource, much more so than open files, and time after time we saw code
 that would open up multiple identical connections for no reason
 whatsoever. This is especially true of large apps that are able to swallow
 other apps. Like PHP-Nuke with various plug-in modules. If you patch 3 or
 4 different things together that all talk to a DB on localhost, you do not
 need to go through the code and unify the database handling to avoid
 having 4 separate connections per request. PHP automatically optimizes
 that for you. Opening a new connection is also extremely expensive, much
 more so than a simple db switch call on an existing one.

Re[4]: [PHP-DEV] Major Bug in multiple MySQL Connections?


hi,

because this is causing troubles to many users.

$con1 = mysql_connect(..);
$con2 = mysql_connect(..);

mysql_select_db($con1, db1);
mysql_select_db($con2, db2);

mysql_query(SELECT * FROM .., $con1); /* this is applied to 'db2'.
   or am I wrong? */

The current DB should be part of the mysql handle. Also the mysql
result set (I remember my db-classes to use each others result sets).

 Because the current db is not a property specified in mysql_connect() so I
 don't see what you would be switching back and forth from/to.

Re: [PHP-DEV] [phpbugs@priorwebsites.com: Bug #16681 Updated: Request new words(), word(), wordindex(), wordlength() functions]

2002-04-19 Thread Daniel Lorch


hi,

 Well, I like the idea(s).

 I think returning (bool)false instead of NULL is more
 consistent though.

 Maybe the naming convention should be changed to:

..while paying attention to english orthography:

 word()
 word_count()
 word_index()
 word_lenght()

word_length()

common pitfall - maybe we should provide an alias? :)

 - Markus

word_* functions can be easily solved in userland, but nevertheless,
after thinking about it, it might be a good addition. At least it does
not hurt anyone, does it? :)

Hi,

 I am not joking it is true. (maybe now the list is working very
 well) I need to know the right address to use the list, may i have
 it please

people are ignoring you, as you are repeatedly posting to the *wrong*
list :) PHP-Dev is about developing the language (in C), not about
solving problems in PHP.

you should consider posting to the General user list which can be
found on:

  http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php

at the bottom of this page there are Local Mailing Lists. I think
you are brazilian (or am  I wrong?). The Portuguese mailinglist might
be the right place for you:

Good luck :)

Re[3]: [PHP-DEV] Let's fork GD!


Hi,

 why not replace GD by imagemagick which is better anyway?

 Have you looked under the skirts of ImageMagick?  It is one of the
 poorest-written libraries I have seen.

Have you ever tried to do something productive with GD? It is one of
the poorest tools I have ever seen.

Seriously: imagemagick can do *ALOT* more than GD.

Hi,

 If you think that imagemagick is great, so don't you write an extention for it 
yourself.
 Other developers can deside on buildtime which image library they use.

Here are some additionals arguments:

Hi,

 it's all nice and good but there's no production version of

 is waste of time ;)
 - Markus

I didn't know imagemagick's sources were of *THAT* bad quality.
Rasmus' arguments convinced me not to move to imagemagick (yet).

P.S.: It's about imagemagick's *ITSELF*, not about ext/imagemagick
  which has bad quality.
