[PHP-DEV] bcpowmod() and bigIntegers
is there a possibility to implement bcpowmod() in a version prior than PHP5? bcpowmod() ist the only way to calculate a blind signature as described by David CHAUM 1982 - digicash (openssl does not work here). now I use the shell_exec command and an external java applet.

[PHP-DEV] domxml close document routine
Overview: domxml does not include a close document routing to release memory after an xml document has been processed. I have added one. Purpose: I am using PHP's domxml functionality to parse thousands (17,000+) xml documents in a single request. The current implementation of domxml in PHP does not allow for xml documents to be closed, so memory is lost at more than 7KB/document during processing. I have been able to reduce this to 1KB/document by adding a close document routine to the PHP domxml extension and calling that close routine in my PHP scripts. Diff: Please see the patch files for my changes at the following URLs. http://robertoldham.com/php_domxml.h.php4.diff http://robertoldham.com/php_domxml.c.php4.diff http://robertoldham.com/php_domxml.h.php5.diff http://robertoldham.com/php_domxml.c.php5.diff Caveats: Lacking familiarity with PHP development, I am not sure that my implementation of the close routine is optimal. However, I have been using this code change in php-4.2.3, php-4.3.0 and php-4.3.1 for approximately 6 weeks without any problems. I am also unfamiliar with the process of getting a change reviewed and applied. If I have done anything wrong, or need to do additional things to follow this through, please let me know.

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?

Re: [PHP-DEV] ODBTP, a possible solution for MS-SQL and other databases
ODBTP can be used for the purpose you described. Although I have not used it with file-based databases, it should not be a problem. The only requirement is that the ODBC drivers must be thread safe if it will be accessed by multiple clients. This, of course, will be the case it it is used on the web. As I stated in my previous reply, I have not dealt with Win32 based PHP, which is what I assume you are using with IIS. However, the ODBTP client library, which was written in C, can be compiled on a Win32 platform with VC++. You can then use this library to build CGI programs or COM objects (that should be fun). It probably would be less painful to determine what is needed to compile the ODBTP extension on a Win32 platform. What is your level of expertise in regards to the above? -- bob 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. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP-DEV] ODBTP, a possible solution for MS-SQL and other databases
The name of the service is called ODBTP (Open Database Transport Protocol), and no there is not a RFC for this protocol. Thus far, I have successfully accessed MS-SQL, Oracle and Sybase databases via ODBTP. Have Oracle ran well through it? Yes. * Supports all data types, including nvarchar, ntext, varchar(255), char(255), datetime, and bigint. What about RECORD type for Oracle? Objects? XMLType(s)? Have you had a chance to play with them yet? I have not tried those types (I primarilly use it for MS-SQL), however, ODBTP can be easily modified to accomadate any type. The key however is how to map those types in PHP. If they are complex then maybe the would have to be sent as resources or objects. I am new to this mailing list, and it appears that PHP is predominantly used for MySQL and PostgreSQL, and thus I am not sure if ODBTP is of any interest to most people on this list. My original intent was not to release ODBTP to the public (I really don't have the time to maintain freeware), but if there is a substantial interest I will release it to the public.

My organization's committment to PHP is primarily determined by me. I am the software development team leader, and introduced PHP about 9 months ago. The decision to use PHP for non MySQL / PostgreSQL database applications is linked to the success of ODBTP. This is probably the most important reason why I decided to introduce it to this list. That fact that it is working for me is not good enough. I need to see how well it performs within other environments. No, I have never been involved in any open source efforts.

I t would be nice for someone to create a configure script, since I have never had a reason to do this. I would be interested and likely to assist at some level in helping you release this code.

I am currently working on packaging it in a tar.gz file. If the response is low I will only release it to those who have shown an interest, and if it becomes higher than I will release it to the list.

Re: [PHP-DEV] ODBTP, a possible solution for MS-SQL and other databases
Hi Dan Below, I have addressed each of your comments. Keep in mind that ODBTP is not a replacement for ODBC. The motivation for ODBTP was to devise a scheme that would make it easy to keep up with Microsoft's perpetual changes in the TDS protocol. Which from my research appears to be the biggest headache for FreeTDS and ODBC driver developers. ODBTP is less susceptible to this because it is an interface to ODBC drivers installed on a Windows NT / 2000 server. And, so far, Microsoft is still providing full support for its ODBC drivers on Windows Platforms. Also, if they stop supporting ODBC in the future, the ODBTP service can be changed to interface with the new methodology without changing the ODBTP protocol. On Saturday, November 2, 2002, at 12:38 PM, Robert Twitty wrote: its capabilities and useless in certain situations. Another alternative was to use a commercial ODBC driver management system on UNIX. Sadly, it was not in the budget for this endeavor, and the PHP odbc extensions could use some work in terms of ease of use. I tend to disagree with this bit. The ODBC system is no more complicated than any of the other database interfaces you find on PHP. There is the needed introduction of a odbc.ini file, but thats no more confusing than the need for a TNS Names with Oracle. If you have a problem with the way ODBC is implemented, please feel free to request new features via the bug system, submit patches, or emailing me directly. I have in the past asked numerous times for input on the extension only to receive silence. Upon further review, you are probably correct. However, working directly with ODBC can be a daunting task for some people. More importantly, what commercial ODBC system are you looking at? unixODBC, and iODBC work wonderfully for UNIX, and both are free and integrated completely with PHP. The problem with the free versions was that they did not appear to provide support SQL Server 7.0 / 2000 new features. In fact, Microsoft's DB-Library and early ODBC driver versions do not support all of them either. Because I was determined to use PHP (I really dislike using JSP / JDBC on UNIX, and IIS / ASP is out of the question), I decided to create my own solution. Since I have a substantial amount of experience in programming directly with the Win32 ODBC API and TCP/IP, I decided to create a service that runs on a Win32 platform that can communicate with any platform via TCP/IP. The service uses a home grown protocol that allows a client to access any database that the service can see via the ODBC drivers that are installed on the computer which it resides. In other words, it allows a PHP client on UNIX to access a database using the ODBC drivers installed on a Windows NT / 2000 server. It is nothing more than a middle man service for Win32 ODBC. The name of the service is called ODBTP (Open Database Transport Protocol), and no there is not a RFC for this protocol. Thus far, I have successfully accessed MS-SQL, Oracle and Sybase databases via ODBTP. This sounds like a lot of work to re-implement the ODBC system. On the contrary, ODBC was not re-implemented. ODBTP requires it, but on a Windows NT / 2000 Server platform. ODBTP is a client / server wrapper around the Win32 ODBC API. * Supports all data types, including nvarchar, ntext, varchar(255), char(255), datetime, and bigint. I'd like to know how you got around this. It's proven to be a bigger headache in supporting for ODBC than I would have imagined. The ODBTP protocol was designed to handle these new data types. It retrieves data from Microsoft ODBC drivers that fully support these data types, and then sends it to the client via the ODBTP protocol which was designed to accomadate them. The problem you are probably faced with is that the UNIX ODBC drivers do not use or have not fully implemented the new (and supposedly not publically documented) TDS protocol used by SQL Server 7.0 / 2000. * Stored procedure execution, parameter passing (including NULL's) and output retrieval. Nice.I haven't worked on this yet at all for PHP ODBC. Again, the ODBTP protocol has facilities that make this possible. * UNICODE data is processed using UTF-8 encoding (important since PHP strings are not UNICODE) This is being worked upon. Hopefully I'll have free time again soon. No problem, UTF-8 works quite well in PHP. * No discovered memory leaks or buffer overflow possibilities. If you know of any in the current PHP ODBC, let us know. This was not meant to be a point of contention with PHP, but rather with Win32 based services that tend to suffer more from these problems. -- bob --- Dan KalowskyI'll walk a thousand miles just http://www.deadmime.org/~dankto slip this skin.

Re: [PHP-DEV] ODBTP, a possible solution for MS-SQL and other databases
I do not like MySQL due to its simplicity and lack of relations. But i must disagree to PHP/Postgres. Postgres IS very stable and fast. Another very important thing is that any security problem found in postgres is fixed very soon. On the otherhand there is Microsoft and we have seen in the past that there are a lot of problems and that it takes some time to get them fixed by MS. Last but not least i d not like MS products for large server applications for several reasons. Unfortunately, the place where I work is not comfortable with using open source databases, and SQL Server as been in place for many years and the GUI makes it easier for many people to administer. While it may be unfounded, the majority of the commercial and government world do not appear to be receptive to the use of MySQL and PostgreSQL for serious applications. And M$ is applying enough political pressure to keep it that way. Microsoft is a very big gorilla, and has a reputation for beating superior products with it's sometimes inferior equivalents. * UNICODE data is processed using UTF-8 encoding (important since PHP strings are not UNICODE) did you use mbstring and internal encoding set to utf-8 or ucs-whatever? No, unicode data is coverted to and from UTF-8 on the server-side. The ODBTP protocol sends and receives all unicode data in the UTF-8 format. Sounds interesting to me :-) There is no problem with adding this as a new extension in pecl since all new extensions should be created there. Maybe it is even worth to discuss this belonging to /ext but i doubt. Just ask for approriate CVS account. However, where can one download ODBTP or will be part of the extension build? I have to generate some documentation on how to install and use it. I was only willing to take the time to do this if there was a need for something like ODBTP by other people. -- bob regards marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Whatever you register into the standard data structures, EG(symbol_table) included, is taken care of by the engine.

[PHP-DEV] Help please.
Is there someplace other than: http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.php Where I can get more advanced information about how the engine itself works. While I've made some extensions I was recently wondering if perhaps I've done some things wrong (no doubt I have). For instance... Let's say I do: zval *newVar; MAKE_STD_ZVAL( newVar ); ZEND_SET_SYMBOL( EG(symbol_table), varKey, newVar ); and then for some unknown reason not particularly important for this discussion I do the following: MAKE_STD_ZVAL( newVar ); ZEND_SET_SYMBOL( EG(symbol_table), varKey, newVar ); This will overwrite my orignal newVar, however, will the original newVar be garbaged collected or is this my responsibility now that I'm out of PHP land? Also if it is auto garbage collected, is there a way I can force garbage collection to run while I'm in a deep recursion?

My Mac colleague is off sick today and since I am looking at finding a fairly X-Plaform solution to our problem, I thought it would be beneficial if I could find out whether the same solution could be used on a Mac. I don't see why not provided you are able to compile PHP. As long as you can compile PHP your extension should compile into a Mac native binary. All you should need to do is create wrapper functions around your current library to make them accessible via PHP in your extension. If you're like me you will compile this directly into the PHP binary itself, and then I don't think you will need any other binaries. Alternatively, since you are comparing this to window's DLLs I think you can compile as a shared library, but I don't know much about that route and wouldn't advise it since as far as I know it runs like CGI.

Re: [PHP-DEV] The PHP Platform
Hey all, I'm just doing a general followup to say how much I love the PHP engine. I find it extremely fast for development and I love that I can integrate C extension modules when time is a huge factor. While PHP seems to be moving into the shadows here where I work I find that I love it more and more personally and is my favourite engine for doing just about everything. I use it for the web and for shell scripting. Most of all I love that something like this can be free, since in my spare time I like to code for a MUD, which doesn't make me any money, but which I find very satisfying. Kudos to all the PHP contributors.

[PHP-DEV] Finding key in a hash...
I am trying to determine if a key exists in a hash that has been passed
to my function. I couldn't find much information on finding how to do
it, but from greping the source I managed to come up with the following.
Problem is it doesn't work *heh*. All I want to do is check whether the
key exists or not and act appropriately. My code compiles fine, but the
zend_hash_exists() test always returns false. The A facsimile of my code
follows:
---
ZEND_FUNCTION( foofunction ){
zval **paramHash = NULL;
zval *aHash = NULL;
if( ZEND_NUM_ARGS() != 1 ||zend_get_parameters_ex( ZEND_NUM_ARGS(), paramHash )
== FAILURE ){
WRONG_PARAM_COUNT;
}
aHash = *paramHash;
if( zend_hash_exists( aHash-value.ht, foo, sizeof( foo ) ) ){
//
// Do something here.
//
}
else{
//
// Do something else here.
//
}
}
---
In my PHP code I have the following:
---
$aHash = array();
$aHash['foo'] = 'fee';
foofunction( $aHash );
---
Cheers,
Rob.

I believe when you copy an object it is a shallow copy, in otherwords, the object is copied, but not its members. This behaviour is preferrable as far as I'm concerned. If you want a deep copy try doing the following: $foo = new foo(); $fee = unserialize( serialize( $foo ) ); That should provide a nice quick, clean solution for what you want while not incurring the overhead most programmers would rather skip on every object copy.

Re: [PHP-DEV] object refrences (POSSIBLE MAJOR BUG)
My apologies... this examples better clarifies your point and I must admit
that it is rather strange behaviour :) And I think I forgot that PHP does
do deep copies, probably because I'm so used to writing wrapper objects
with references to my real objects so I automate shallow copies.
Cheers,

[PHP-DEV] Re-entrant PHP
I mostly don't keep up with the bulk of the PHP threads; however, I did a pretty thorough scan of them to find information about re-entrancy and didn't find anything to answer my question. So here goes... I was wondering if there were any plans to make php_mod re-entrant in any way or if there were any comments on how difficult this task would be. I see the advantages of re-entrancy being that my source code wouldn't need to be reloaded every single time a page is loaded; much of the data would already be in memory with respect to properties and caching; I could have a global persistent cache for some of my data versus saving to a database or shared memory location for subsequent page hit retrieval. Mostly I just don't want my source code re-parsed and loaded on every hit since that is a large overhead once you get into several layers of abstraction.

The strange thing is that I have been using CUSTOMREQUEST on a machine running 4.0.6 to post XML in a fashion such as this: $xml = ''; $xml .= POST /somepath HTTP/1.1\r\n; $xml .= Host: somehost\r\n; $xml .= Content-Type: text/xml\r\n; $xml .= \r\n $xml .= $xmldoc; ... curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $request); ... Anyhow, I feel really silly now; I should have seen this answer long before now. But at least I know why I haven't been able to duplicate the behavior of the one machine that is working, though why it is working is an interesting question.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP] RFE: $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
I agree about needing to clean up some of the other PHP ini options
first. I started creating an uber-clean project not long ago, with my
first goal being to get PHP into a 'known-good' state no matter what the
end-user has set up as a configuration option.
E_ALL E_NOTICE
track_vars ON
register_globals OFF
magic_quotes OFF
I tried some of the options listed in...
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php
...but was disappointed that not all options can be set by a script. It
appears as though register_globals must be set using a configuration
directive, and all of the .htaccess files I tried to create caused apache
to give back 500's Internal Server Errors. (Probably because I'm really
bad at configuring apache ;^)
As it stands right now, I'm thinking of:
?php
$exemptions = array( 'GLOBALS', '_GET', '_POST', '_REQUEST', ... );
foreach( array_keys( $GLOBALS ) as $to_clear )
{
if( !in_array( $exemptions, $to_clear ) )
unset($$to_clear);
}
?
To 'fake' unregistering all globals at the script level. Personally, I'm
in favor of removing the HTTP_*_VARS (or at least having the option to
remove them) because they are scheduled for depracation. Right now, it's
a mess to have to deal with both types of variables, especially in new
projects, and if people are not supposed to be using them, might as well
let them be turned off. :^)
The other exciting thing I've heard about is the ability to su for
scripts, especially for PHP scripts which I write, hoping that they can
place data into the user's home directory (ie: a photo album thumbnailer
and manager). I haven't downloaded and played with that extension yet,
but it fills an important gap to be able to su $owner within a PHP
script.

Since I use Japanese for my web sites. I usually convert all user inputs

single-byte(half width) number.
If there are $HTTP_*_VARS, I could end up with having 2 different values
even if I don't need old values. If $HTTP_*_VARS does not exist, I can
save memory CPU time a bit. (sometimes a lot)
However, I also think it may *not* be a good idea. If there is a ini
option for disabling long track vars, PHP application developers may
have headache with this... It may be ok for PHP5, though.
Anyway, I'll wait for a while. We need to fix variables_order and
register_globals issue first.

Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: RFE: $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
Does PHP also perform shallow copy-on-write for values passed as
parameters to functions?
?php
$text = ...shakespeare...;
function blah( $copy )
{
echo $copy;
}
blah( $text );
?
Some of the guys I work with like to use: function( $copy ) in order to
save the hypothetical storage space required to duplicate $text into
$copy, but from earlier discussion, blah() might not get a full copy of
$text unless the function body was: $copy .= '!';, thus making two copies
of $text.
It's almost time for me to start downloading the source tarballs and
answering these questions myself. ;^) Thanks again for all your patience.

[PHP-DEV] RFE: $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
This is the second time in as many weeks that we have been bitten by the
fact that $_POST != $HTTP_POST_VARS; Attached is a real-world example of
why it is currently bad practice to use the _POST variables.
I cannot recommend that anyone use $_POST[..] in their scripts.
$GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'][..] is a much safer, portable, and sane
solution, unless $HTTP_POST_VARS is marked as depracated, scheduled to be
phased out.
For those new to the problem, $_GET and $HTTP_GET_VARS are two totally
separate arrays which happen to hold the same data at the beginning of
script execution. After script execution has begun, it is VERY DANGEROUS
to modify the data contained in either of these arrays, because changes
in one are not propagated to the other.
The simplest example script is:
?php
echo $_GET['test'];
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['test'];
$_GET['test'] = 'changed.';
echo $_GET['test'];
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['test'];
?
...The second set of echo statements will print two different values.
The situation is worse when you are trying to integrate the usage of
$_GET/$_POST into scripts which already make use of $HTTP_*_VARS.
The following script is my real-world example of a difficult to trace
logic bug caused by $_POST != $HTTP_POST_VARS.
The situation is that we have a form with a radio button toggling between
two input elements as follows.
PRICING:
( ) Fixed: $[__]
( ) Negot: $[__]
The radio field is named option, and the two input fields are named
asking1 and asking2 respectively. On the back end, we store whether
the user selected fixed or negotiable, and then 'push' asking1 or
asking2 into a variable called asking_price. We don't care which field
they type the price into, but asking1 and asking2 must be named
differently so that the browser will not stomp asking prices over each
other when posting the information.
Our function gpc stands for Get/Post/Cookie, and is very similar to
the new $_REQUEST array, except that it returns FALSE if nothing was
posted, preventing us from having to do:
if( isset($_REQUEST['blah']) )
$result = $_REQUEST['blah'];
(because we run with E_NOTICE E_ALL, and have register_globals turned off)
...instead, we can say:
$result = gpc('blah');
...anyway, we've been using PHP for a while now (since well before 4.1
;^), and already have many many scripts and libraries which use the
HTTP_*_VARS method of accessing things. It is unsafe to use $_GET and
$HTTP_GET_VARS in the same environment.
My proposed solutions again:
1) Temporary workaround: $HTTP_GET_VARS = $_GET;
2) Throw an E_NOTICE if $HTTP_*_VARS or $_* is used as the left-hand side
of an assignment. (ie: officially discourage changing $HTTP_*_VARS)
3) Propagate any changes made to $_GET over to $HTTP_GET_VARS and
$_REQUEST.
#1 works for the most part, but changes is $_GET are not propagated into
$_REQUEST, which opens the door for more data inconsistency issues.
#2 could possibly be implemented by making $HTTP_*_VARS and $_* into
constants... forcing them to be read only.
#3 sounds like it would be annoying to implement, but would make it
easiest for end-users to use PHP, and have some nice things happen
'magically'.

[PHP-DEV] Re: RFE: $HTTP_POST_VARS = $_POST;
Thanks for your responses (again), it is an unfortunate situation that $HTTP_*_VARS must be retained for backwards compatibility until at least the hypothetical PHPv5.0 mark. Having also read in this group that define() does not support complicated constants, I'm guessing that it's not currently possible to force all predefined variables to be read only (although that seems like the best solution in the long run). Regarding the documenation- it is not clear, and is not emphasized that the arrays are disjoint. Note: Some of these arrays had old names, e.g. $HTTP_GET_VARS. These names still work, but we encourage users to switch to the new shorter, and auto-global versions. $HTTP_GET_VARS An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP GET method. $_GET An associative array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP GET method. Automatically global in any scope. Introduced in PHP 4.1.0. ...this will be the last message I'll bother the lists with about this behaviour. I just wanted to make sure that you guys who are developing this stuff receive feedback about how this new behaviour is working out for people using the new versions of PHP. :^) I'm 100% in favor of treating these arrays as read-only, but it would be very nice if E_NOTICE's were thrown when builtin arrays are modified, or simply to treat them as unchangeable constants. Something to keep in mind if we ever get the ability to say: define( '_GET', $_GET ); ...which is interesting in itself... imagine: echo _GET['blah']; ...instead of: echo $_GET['blah']; ...since _GET/etc... are already auto-globals, and you don't want them to be used as left-hand-side values, it seems like they're very close to acting like constants already.

[PHP-DEV] Bogus/Bug #14952 ($_GET != $HTTP_GET_VARS)
I spoke briefly with Jan about the following (imho) mis-feature,
who recommended bringing it up on the dev-list.
http://bugs.php.net/?id=14952
I ran into the problem (as an end-user) while trying to muck
with what the user had passed in (ie: spoof GET data from
session-ized defaults if the user did not select anything).
Why isn't it: $_GET = $HTTP_GET_VARS?
Attached is my understanding of the problem. As it stands
right now, I do not want to use $_GET constructs in my code
because $_GET is not a drop-in replacement for:
$GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'][...]
...which I assumed it was. No matter where I set a value for
$GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'], it will be the same throughout
script execution. With the addition of the $_GET class of
variables, there are suddenly two copies of data, two areas
to manage in your code. IMHO, it is a bad move for the data
to be separated in the long run, especially when there is not
a good reason for it.
If the world were a perfect place (which it isn't, and I know
it ;^) ... I would say that:
$_GET = $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'];
$_POST = $GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'];
$_COOKIE = $GLOBALS['HTTP_COOKIE_VARS'];
$_REQUEST = array_merge( $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE );
I know that the last request (reference request to
the results of a function) isn't really possible or
feasible, but the first three definitely are.
Another possible solution would be to throw an E_WARNING
if $_GET or $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'] is used as the left-
hand side of an expression. This would make changing
information within $_GET or $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']
officially frowned upon, which would have alerted me to the
fact that now in 4.1.1 there are two places where a GET/POST
variable can be named and changed.
Or, if $_GET/$HTTP_GET_VARS is detected as a left-hand side
expression, call _internal_UPDATE_REQUEST( $key, $value ),
to keep all arrays in sync.
I wrote up some documentation about the $_* variables, which
I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable about the
inner workings of the $_GET stuff could look over it and let
me know if there are any mistakes. I release that
documentation to the PHP group under the same terms of license
as the rest of PHP's documentation, so please feel free to
integrate it if it is a welcome addition.
I am not subscribed to this list (am using it through the news
gateway now), so I might not receive any responses. I would
appreciate being CC'd any relevant discussion.
Thanks for everything so far, PHP rocks! :^)
--Robert ([EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Thank you for your response. I understand what the $_* arrays
are for, but I still disagree. :^)
echo $_GET['blah'];
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['blah'];
$HTTP_GET_VARS['blah'] = 'test';
function test()
{
echo $_GET['blah'];
}
test();
Why is the array data separate? There is no good reason, and
several bad reasons.
Good reasons to be separate:
1) You might want $_GET and $H_G_V to be different
2) [some random reason about internal PHP code]
3) does $_REQUEST get updated if $_GET/$_POST is updated too?
Bad reasons to be separate:
1) takes twice as much memory
2) $_GET != $HTTP_GET_VARS after script execution begins
3) does $_REQUEST get updated if $_GET/$_POST is updated too?
At the very least, this is a documentation bug because $_GET !=
$HTTP_GET_VARS should be mentioned at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php
Here is my stab at documentation for $_* vars.
With the introduction of PHP 4.1.1 there are several variables
introduced which are guaranteed to be available in every
function, no matter what the ini settings are. These variables
are: $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE, and contain the same
information as their corresponding $HTTP_*_VARS arrays.
The other variable introduced is $_REQUEST, which is a merged
array of all GET/POST/COOKIE data.
SPECIAL NOTE: Although the information contained in $_GET,
$_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_REQUEST is initially the same as that
found in $HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_POST_VARS, and $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS,
changes in one array do not impact changes in any other array.
It is considered a bug, hack, or workaround to *set* any value
in any of these arrays. (do not use them as a left-hand-side in
any expression). This will make your code more readable, more
maintainable, and more useful to other script authors.
Converting from older styles...
===
Assume that you have a script which takes a single parameter,
'blah'.
In global scope:
echo $blah; = echo $_REQUEST['blah'];
echo $GLOBALS['blah']; = echo $_REQUEST['blah'];
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['blah'] = echo $_GET['blah'];
echo $GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS']['blah'] = echo $_GET['blah'];
In function scope:
function demonstration()
{
global $blah, $HTTP_GET_VARS;
// 1: using global operator from above
echo $blah;
// 2: using array HTTP_GET_VARS from global scope
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['blah'];
// 3: using no special functions

reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
echo $key = $valbr;
}
?
- WHAT I WANTED TO HAPPEN:
I wanted to use the $HTTP_POST_VARS array to validate the form. If the end
user forgets to select one of the radio button options, that should show up
in $HTTP_POST_VARS as a variable with a value, which would allow me to
post a validation error message to the user.
- WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
If the end user forgets to select one of the radio options, the posted
variable doesn't show up in $HTTP_POST_VARS !!
The output of the php script is:
// begin test1.php output (with no radio button selected):
submitbutton = Submit
Values submitted via POST method:
submitbutton = Submit
// end test1.php output
If one of the buttons is pre-selected, it will show up as a variable in the
$HTTP_POST_VARS. Here is the output:
//begin test1.php output (with radio button selected):
radiobutton = False
submitbutton = Submit
Values submitted via POST method:
radiobutton = False
submitbutton = Submit
// end test1.php output (with radio button pre-selected)
-WHY THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM:
As I'm sure you can imagine, this makes it impossible to create a generic
validation script that is capable of validating radio buttons.
If I create a simple $radiobutton variable (the same name as the form
input), It will work to validate the form if the user has not remembered to
select a radio button.
But this will require me to manually validate radio buttons in my script,
rather than being able to create and use a generic validation script. I've
created a generic script in ASP that uses the request.form method to
validate all form fields and it works properly with radio buttons.
Also, I've tested the $HTTP_POST_VARS array with all other input types, and
it finds all other posted variables, even if they are blank.
What can I do?

[PHP-DEV] Bug #14674 Updated: $HTTP_POST_VARS not finding all posted variables
ID: 14674
User updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Variables related
Operating System: Windows 2000 Pro
PHP Version: 4.1.0
New Comment:
Hi Derick:
Thanks for responding so quickly.
I'm a little confused. If I create an ASP script, it is able to see the variable of a
blank, unselected radio button without difficulty. And that is using the same browser
-- so it is definitely sending all of the form variables.
I'm probably missing something, but why would it work in ASP and not in PHP?
Is there anything I can do to help?

This is not a bug in PHP, but a browser issue. You can either set one radio button as
a default value, or you can use:
if (isset ($HTTP_POST_VARS['radiobutton'])) {
}
to see if it is set at all.
But as the browser does not send the parameter (I tested this), there is little PHP
can do if it doesn't see it.

- WHAT I DID:
I created a simple html form with the POST method:
html
body
form action=test1.php method=post
input type=radio name=radiobutton value=TrueTrue
input type=radio name=radiobutton value=FalseFalse
input type=submit name=submitbutton value=Submit
/form
/body
/html
Next I created test1.php to receive those posted variables (as you can see I tried
several methods of checking them):
?
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $var = $value) {
echo $var = $valuebr\n;
}
echo PValues submitted via POST method:br;
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
echo $key = $valbr;
}
?

[PHP-DEV] Re: Bug #12868 Updated: Appendix G Descrepancies..
That's nice -- but.. since the manual states that it is not a good idea to use the alias.. I would think the manual should at the very least, indicate which is which.. In addition, there is a lot of duplicates in the alias list.. To say that it doesn't matter which is which, and then to say not a good idea is sorta silly... After all the whole reason in listing what aliases to what, is to let developers no which functions are now obsolete, while still allowing the older functions in older scripts to operate.. So, in short, It does matter how it's documented.. if function x was removed (all together) and this was documented backward or unclearly you have a lot scripts that just quit functioning.. and this then falls back on those who maintain the documentation. As a developer, good clear and more importantly correct documentation is important. Now as for chop and rtrim.. the function definition for chop() indicates the exact opposite --- according the chop function information it is the alias.. while the appendix states it's the master --- For those who have been authoring PHP for sometime, this is no big deal.. but for the new user it becomes important that they know the difference..

I would guess that the reason for the inconsistency in the documentation is that it really doesn't matter which is which, so the doc team is not all that careful about it. But that's just a guess...this wouldn't be all that hard to clear up. FWIW, rtrim() is an alias to chop() and fputs() is an alias to fwrite(). Previous Comments: [2001-08-21 00:12:18] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is truly a followup to my previous post - message about what appears to be descrepancies in Appendix G.. which has further some confusion as to which functions are truly an alias and which is the master function.. I guess I need to understand what the master function is supposed to be, and what an alias is supposed to be. Perhaps I have these backwards, and thus the confusion, but some of this doesn't quite set right.. The first function in the list (chop) is labeled as the master function, and it's alias as (rtrim).. but when you go to the master function, (chop) it's documentation indicates it's the alias. and to see rtrim for details. There are some functions in this list like - fwrite() and fputs() - where fwrite is labled as the master and fputs the alias.. while the documentaion for both functions do not indicate either as an alias.. This goes on.. naturally some of these make perfect sense, if you looke at is_double() marked as a master - having aliases of is_float() and is_real().. the documentation corresponds perfectly.. i.e. if you call up is_float() or is_real() it directs you to is_double().. which brings some understanding back. and jives with what I would preceive as the relationship between a master function and an alias.

While c is usefull for creation (and access), a is programmed incorrect and misdocumented (for access and other uses). Currently a is inserting the IPC_EXCL flag for (system) shmget(). This is completly useless, as IPC_EXCL is only operative when IPC_CREAT is set (which isn't). Further a inserts SHM_RDONLY for (system) shmat(). This makes an read-only attach instead of a read-write, which does not need any flags. Proposal: To let the a do what it is intended for remove line 117 and 118 from shmop.c. Furthermore the documentation could be more precise: a does never create a shm segment, while c maybe creates one.

[PHP-DEV] RE: PHP 4.0 Bug #9636 Updated: error message
Thanks. I was able to configure and install, however I get the message from Netscape browser, "Document contains no data," and from IE, "The page cannot be displayed" when trying test.php. I followed the directions for editing mime.types and obj.conf. Is there any more documentation referencing Netscape Enterprise servers? -Original Message- From: Bug Database [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 7:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PHP 4.0 Bug #9636 Updated: error message ID: 9636 Updated by: sniper Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Feedback Bug Type: Compile Failure Assigned To: Comments: Please try the latest CVS snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ --Jani Previous Comments: --- [2001-03-08 15:03:06] [EMAIL PROTECTED] For Netscape Enterprise Server configuration: After installing all the necessary packages and running "./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-nsapi= /opt/netscape/suitespot --enable-track-vars --enable-libgcc" When attempting to run "make" I get the following: # make Making all in Zend Making all in Zend /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../main -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -D_REENTRANT -DXML_BYTE _ORDER=21 -I../TSRM -g -O2 -pthreads -c zend_language_scanner_cc.cc In file included from zend_language_scanner_cc.cc:2571: zend_operators.h: In function `int is_numeric_string(char *, int, long int *, do uble *)': zend_operators.h:84: implicit declaration of function `int finite(...)' make[1]: *** [zend_language_scanner_cc.lo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/php-4.0.4pl1/Zend' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 # Running gcc-2.95_2 Thanks, Bob Smith Computer Systems Administrator East Carolina University [EMAIL PROTECTED] (252) 328-0421 --- ATTENTION!

RE: [PHP-DEV] The new design
Title: RE: [PHP-DEV] The new design I like the new design, but it is critically flawed. In Netscape 4.75 linux and windows, Cut and Paste ability is no longer available for code samples. I've learned to rely heavily on cut and pasting PHP sample code when working with functionality I am new to. I realize you probably want people to type it out, but for more seasoned developers, it's a PITA we dont Needa. -B -Bob Kelly [EMAIL PROTECTED]
