[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #9836: php unexpectedly ends on too long scripts

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: linux 2.2.18
PHP version:  4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  php unexpectedly ends on too long scripts

we have some long computer generated scripts on our system. when we run such a long 
script, php suddenly ends without producing any output and reports exit status 1.

I think php exits while parsing the script.

(I can provide an example of such script on demand)

I know of time limit, smart guy.

But I don't have it set to 1 sec -- that is approximately the time in which php 
terminates.

(I hope you mark this problem as closed now -- THAT YOU'VE SOLVED IT).

Damn.

Will timeout ever be added in functions like readline or fopen, fgets etc. ? They can 
work with URL's but you never know how long you'll wait for results.

It's for someone else to decide whether to add this to 
the language, but until they do you can achieve the same
effect with:

$arr = array(array(1, 2), array(3, 4)); 
foreach ($arr as $narr) {
list($a, $b) = array_values($narr);
echo "$a, $bn";

BTW--it would have helped if you had explained what

[PHP-DEV] Bug #12316: Have to increase memory_limit to be able to upload big files

[jack]

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: Linux
PHP version:  4.0.5
PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  Have to increase memory_limit to be able to upload big files

If you want to use file upload, you have to correctly set upload_max_size
and post_max_size. That's o.k. But you also have to set memory_limit and
max_execution_time to values high enough.

The former seems to be result of very poor design (I admit I haven't
checked the source code closely but as far as I can tell from a quick look
at main/rfc1867.c, the whole form is first read and stored in memory and
only then parsed and divided into files instead of being parsed on the
run).

I am not sure about the second issue since I don't know how exactly
max_exec*_time works. Is it counted from the very start of request or from
the moment script starts being executed? (that is -- if I set
max_execution_time to 30 secs and the upload takes 55 secs, will PHP die?
or will the upload finish and script will get 30secs to run?). I know I can
get around this limit -- I just wonder.

The following piece of code doesn't work:

It produces:

which is unexpected (at least for me).

you haven't read the previous posts, have you?

I think it's a general problem with list() construct, that you cannot
use it everywhere you can use an L-value (or however you guys call it
in PHP)

so it has happened again.

I again offer to provide the script so that you can see where the problem is.  I won't 
paste it here because it has 730K.

The script cannot really run because it is supposed to have many includes and it 
itself should be included by other script -- but it should fail with some reason (like 
unknown function).

Instead it just dies with return code 1.

With that limited information you gave in the first

Ok, so it doesn't crash? Just stops?
Computer generated scripts? How big?
And what do they do? 

Could you check that it doesn't crash, ie. run the php
script which 'ends' within gdb:

# gdb php
(gdb) run -f thisscriptendstoosoon.php

[PHP-DEV] Bug #13138: constants behave weird in static hash arrays

[jack]

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: linux
PHP version:  4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  constants behave weird in static hash arrays

I think the following piece of code behaves sort of weird:

 true);
static $stat_a = array(A => true);

var_dump($a);
var_dump($stat_a);
}
test();
?>

result is:
array(1) {
  [1]=>
  bool(true)
}
array(1) {
  ["A"]=>
  bool(true)
}

I'm not sure whether static variables are supposed to evaluate expressions
but even if they were not, the engine should at least issue a warning.

[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #10134: Using Zend Optimiser: including by URL fails

[bobby . jack]

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: sparc-sun-solaris2.6
PHP version:  4.0.4pl1
PHP Bug Type: Reproduceable crash
Bug description:  Using Zend Optimiser: including by URL fails

Zend Optimiser version 1.0.0 is installed.

PHP running on Apache-1.3.19

Including a file with an absolute reference to a URL fails to load the file completely 
- only part of the file loads resulting in incomplete HTML source.

Example: 
--
http://www.example.com/foo.php";
?>
--

Example code attempting to be included:
--
Hello World
--

Example of PHP output (HTML source) when including this file:
--
TABL
--

As you can see, only a small portion of the file is actually included.

Removing the optimiser from our PHP install solves the problem; the file is included 
correctly.

This bug should be very easy to reproduce using the setup described here.

allow_url_open has been set to 1.

Please advise on either a workaround or when this bug is likely to be fixed; we are 
developing an intranet using PHP and this bug is quite an inconvenience.

Thanks,
- Bobby.

[PHP-DEV] function similar to get_html_translation_table

[Jack Dempsey]

Hi there,

I've recently had a need for a function that can translate html code
such as  and œ, etc...I've found the trick of flipping the
resulting array from get_html_translation_table and using strtr to
translate characters, but I've found nothing to deal with these other
html quantities. I know I could make a big array myself and make my own
function, but it seems to me that something like this would be useful
for others as well. 
Has anything like this been considered? Is it possible to write code for
it and see if others find it useful?
Any help and thoughts are much appreciated.

[PHP-DEV] RE: [PHP] New feature suggestion: array in string substitution

[Jack Dempsey]

have you looked at the eval function? it will let you do something similar:

$string = 'this is a $variable';

$variable = 'template';

eval("\$string = $string");

echo $string; -> this is a template

(haven't checked it, but syntax should be ok)

The feature i suggest for inclusion in the php core is described below,
especially in my first post.
I think that is a really good idea and i ask you to spend a moment and
read my suggestion.

If you think that this feature could be useful, reply to this message and
say that you agree
(don't repeat all the text written below, i don't want to overload the news
server)

(my english is not very good, i'm sorry:)

Federico Marani ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

MY OLD POSTS:
THE FIRST
I have seen that in php there isn't nothing similar to dictionary
substitution in python.
(a dictionary is an array with string keys, like hash in perl)

This change consist in adding two functions ("a" stay for "array"):
aprintf(string format, array dict) -- like printf, print the result
saprintf(string format, array dict) -- like sprintf, return the result

It works like this (written in php-like language):

format -> "my name is %(name)s and i'm %(age)s"
dict -> array( name=>"tom", age=> "eighteen" );

(in php, unlike python, is possible to make an array with both string and
number indices, so the format can be also %(2)s,...)

aprintf(format,dict) -- print "my name is tom and i'm eighteen"
saprintf(format,dict) -- return "my name is tom and i'm eighteen"

in python, these substitutions are very useful, especially in cgi
programming, for making templates from text files, in php could be
useful in, for example, language customisation, or message formatting,
etc...

An example:
if ($lang == "it")
  define("MESSAGE","il %(animal)s %(color)s sta %(action)s %(target)s");
else
  define("MESSAGE","the %(color)s %(animal)s is %(action)s");

aprintf(MESSAGE,array(animal=>"cobra",color=>"green",action=>"eating",target
=>"mouse"));
// if the %(target)s isn't found, is ignored.


(the "s" terminator could be substituted with other letters, like d for
numbers, etc...)

This approach has several advantages over something like this:
"the $color $animal is $action"
because in this phrase, variables are substituted when the parser execute
it, and in this case:
"the %(color)s %(animal)s is %(action)s"
parameters are substituted only when the phrase is parsed with a specialized
function like aprintf


I think that this is a good idea and could save a lot of time when the
program need to be as modular as possible.

---END FIRST POST---

---THE SECOND POST---
Yes, the function you have written below make the same thing but i think
that a function written in c, inside the php module, can be faster and more
elegant than this php-function.

Again, i think that the final user will be happy to have an already written
function
instead of think and code a personalized function.

I think it's more elegant because it follow the same approach of printf-like
functions
and a user who already known these functions or known python will not have
headaches
in finding a solution for his problem

Also prinf, sprinf, etc... can be written as php functions and separated
from php core, but it will not happen... why? too important and too useful,
they requires speed
and their functionality
is required in many programs.

The same thing happen in python with dictionary substitution, and now,
nobody think to remove
it.

I think that this type of function could be useful for a lot of people...

Let me know what do you (also zeev and others) think about
