You have to write your own function for this.

[PHP] Suse Apache

[Keith]

would like to build/compile php as a dso !
Linux version is Suse 7.2
apache is version 1.3.19 already compiled with mod.so.c
but I don't seem to have an apache/bin and I can't find apxs which should be
there ???

Is this a Suse problem or what ??
do I have to de-install apache and re-install a normal version ??

or how do I use dso's in this one ??
cause when i try "apxs -i -a -c mod_foo.c" i just get command not found !

Re: [PHP] virtual() call to CGI script

But that gave me an idea for a solution with .htaccess control, and
after some testing, I was able to work it out:


My document root .htaccess file includes:

  SetEnvIf Request_URI "the_cgi_caller\.php$" CGI_REFERER=local


And my /cgi subdirectory .htaccess file includes:

  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from env=CGI_REFERER


The environment variable CGI_REFERER does not exist unless Apache is
processing a request for "the_cgi_caller.php" in document root, and
thus requesting any file in the /cgi subdirectory via its URL results
in a HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden.

And since PHP virtual() causes Apache to execute a sub-request, the
environment variable CGI_REFERER *does* exist while the CGI is being
called via virtual() from "the_cgi_caller.php"

It will be simple to add SetEnvIf lines to .htaccess in document root,
one for each .php file which needs to call a CGI with virtual().

This is the solution I was looking for.  Thanks for the ideas!

[PHP] I beleive I have found a bug.....

[Brian White]

... I just thought I would see if anyone else can reproduce it!

Ok. The problem is in the following snippet of code. ( Note : this exmaple
is extremely contrived, and is the essence of a much more complicated
situation involving a function call from a class method... )

 "AA" , "B" => "BB", "C"=> "CC", "D"=> "DD", "E" 
=> "EE" );

 print "\n";
 foreach ( $data as $key1=>$val1 )
 {
//foreach ( $data as $key2=>$val2 )
 foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 )   // <= PROBLEM IS HERE
 {
 if ( $key1 == $key2 )
 print "$key2";
 else
 print $key2;

 print "  ";
 }
 print "\n";
 }

 print "";
?>

I beleive it should generate

A  B  C  D  E
A  B  C  D  E
A  B  C  D  E
A  B  C  D  E
A  B  C  D  E


Instead it generates

A  B  C  D  E


If I replace the problem line
 foreach ( array_keys($data) as $key2 )

with the alternate
 foreach ( $data as $key2=>$val2 )

then it works fine.

I am using PHP 4.0.4pl1.

I could never get MIME classes and the like to work, so I rolled

RE: [PHP] mailto function to attach a photo

[Lawrence . Sheed]

You're probably going to need a mime class - Manuel Lemos makes a good one,
then send as a mime attachment.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/mimemessageclass/

Some sample code below that I use (and a mime class).

Example.php
from = "$emailfrom"; 
$mymessage->to = "$emailto"; 
$mymessage->subject = "$emailfromname sent a picture to you from
shanghaiguide.com"; 
$mymessage->headers["Reply-To"] = "$emailfrom"; 
$mymessage->headers["X-Extra-Header"] = "Pointless Header v3.0"; 
$mymessage->body = "$emailfromname sent you a picture from the
ShanghaiGuide.com site\n" . 
"\n".
"http://www.Shanghaiguide.com\n\n";.
"The Shanghai Guide - The real guide to Shanghai
Life\n\nLive Chat, Thousands of Pictures, Classifieds, Message Forum and
more...";
$mymessage->attachments[0] = $DOCUMENT_ROOT.$pic; 
$mymessage->Send();

?>



mimeclass.php

Feel free to contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tell us how you like it! 
(Or to complain bitterly, report bugs, or suggest new features.) 

Known shortcomings/bugs: 
o guessMIMEType()only knows about a few MIME types. You can expand this as  
  you need. 
o $mime_boundary in the Send() method should be randomly generated, but it  
  isn't likely to ever hurt anything in its current form 

Example: 
 require("Mail.phtml"); 
 $mymessage = new Mail(); 
 $mymessage->from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; 
 $mymessage->to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; 
 $mymessage->subject = "This is your lucky day";

RE: [PHP] Pulling webpages - may be a weird question :)

[Lawrence . Sheed]

Some of us live in countries where these proxy servers are banned.
I cannot access anonymiser, safesurf or any of the other open proxies.

sometimes accessing cnn is useful, so I wrote some quick and very nasty code
to retrieve and view webpages - also encrypts the url as well - China
sometimes bans via url contents, so www.someserver.com/proxy/www.cnn.com
would be banned as well.

(Chinese Government went through a phase a few weeks ago where even google
was banned, that was terrible, I rely on google every day!).

See code below (it's not good, but it works - text only)

I use it on my Shanghai site www.shanghaiguide.com in the proxy page -
www.shanghaiguide.com/proxy








No Graphics will be displayed, only a href style links are processed, proxy
is alpha version, but hey its better than nothing
http://".$URL;
}


if (isset($URLPATH)){
if (strpos ($URLPATH,"p://")) {
$URL="";
//New Site = strip out the http:// and replace
//To Do
if (substr($URLPATH,-3)=='gif') {
Header("Content-type: image/gif"); 
}
if (substr($URLPATH,-3)=='jpg') {
Header("Content-type: image/jpg"); 
}
}

//If url ends in / and urlpath starts in / strip url
trailing slash.
if ((substr($URL,-1) =="/" ) && (substr($URLPATH,0,1)=="/"))
{
$URL=substr ($URL,0,strlen($URL)-1);
}
}
else {
$URLPATH="";
if (substr($URL,-1) !="/"){
$URL.="/";
}
}


//$URL =ROT($URL,1);
//print "Encrypted URL=". $URL;
if (!$NOHDR) {

print "URL =".$URL;
//Show Browse Form Again
?>






http://";, "href=" $scriptpath "?url="$url,
$pagedata); 

$results = eregi_replace ("href=\"" ,
"href=\"$PHP_SELF?ENC=1&URL=$URL&URLPATH=",$results);
$results = eregi_replace
("src=\"","src=\"blank.gif?$PHP_SELF?ENC=1&NOHDR=1&URL=$URL&URLPATH=",$resul
ts);
print $results;

}
?>

There are better ways to do this, James Marshall wrote CGIProxy, but this is
the only one I know that also encrypts urls.

dear mr lemos,

 your ongoing participation in this thread has opened my eyes to views i 
had not considered before and caused me to revisit mine. however, the above 
is representative of where i think you and i disagree.

[please note that my thoughts here are really in response to the overall 
impression i received from reading all of your posts in this thread and i 
only include the above quote for my convenience. even though i'll mostly 
mention where you and i disagree, it doesn't mean i disagree with all that 
you say. indeed, i find your enthusiasm contagious and offer encouragement 
to you in your effort]

 one assumption you seem to have is the ongoing viability of php (if not 
the very livelihood of we the developers using php) is somehow a function 
of the number of folks who know what php is. that somehow the more folks 
know about php, the better php gets. it also seems that you feel 'the PHP 
people' are not putting forth enough effort to further php's acceptance and 
viability.

 from my point of view as a developer using php, recognition of php in the 
corporate world is not as important as how good php is. i prefer to see 
efforts focused on developing the best darn HTML-embedded scripting 
language this side of the railroad tracks. whether or not php gets talked 
about on the evening news doesn't really matter. what matters is whether 
php helps me as a programmer. i don't care how many folks recognize the 
power of php. i care about the power of php. the number of folks using php 
is a function of whether or not 'the PHP people' can continue to produce 
such rockin' code over the next few years. not the other way around.

 i imagine you have a unique perspective on the effort it takes to promote 
php. but, i'm guessing that 'the PHP people' probably do as well. i myself 
am unduly grateful for the effort that they put forth, not only in 
producing the rockin'st language anyone could have hoped for when learning 
to program, but in promoting php as well. when i saw php was featured at 
the open source convention in san jose, i knew things were moving along 
just fine. that's the kind of promotion i want to see. i believe 'the PHP 
people' should be allowed to promote php in a manner they are comfortable 
with. after all, it's their itch.

 ya know, making the best HTML-embedded scripting language seems a pretty 
noble goal to me.

Manuel, please, give this tirade a rest.  Nobody associated with Python
development was involved in this "amazing" marketing trick you are
referring to.  Somebody just decided to do this on their own.  And now you
are criticizing the PHP developers for not having the same foresight as
the Python developers?

It says so right in their FAQ
(http://software-carpentry.codesourcery.com/faq.html)

"And in answer to some of the more virulent postings on Usenet and in
 other venues, neither Guido van Rossum nor anyone else associated with
 Python development was involved in setting up this project, choosing the
 language, or defining the terms of the competition. Guido was only asked
 to be a judge after the decision to use Python had been made. If we
 had decided to use Perl or Tcl, we would obviously have invited Larry
 Wall or John Ousterhout to join the panel."

If somebody wants to put up $100,000 for a PHP software contest, perfect,
great, we will be every bit as cooperative as the Python developers.

[PHP] Writing to file with user as owner

[Anton Stroganov]

Hello

A quick question here: is it possible to have your script write to file with
the user's as owner and not as 'nobody' or 'www' as owner (which is what it
usually does). For example in perl one can use cgiwrap to write to file as
the user to whom the script belongs. Any way of doing this in php? Any
advice will be greatly appreciated.

If you don't know yet, you'd better try different database to see which
is capable of doing what you need.

On solution that would not be compromising because it would let you
change you minds later is to use a database abstraction package that
would let you write applications that are portable between databases.
That way you may try different databases with the same code and make up
your minds when you feel ready.

You may want to try Metabase which is a PHP database abstraction package
that lets you write portable applications and among other databases
supports those that you meantioned.

Metabase is freely available from here:

Actually, what I was suggested was not invented. It seems some body with
great interest to promote Python invented this "Open Source Software
contest" offering $100.000 in prizes. It is funny that they call it
"Open Source software contest" but the rules explicitly said that only
Python entries would be accepted. The contest was to develop software
development tools that would probably would cost that much if they
contracted qualified developers to write them on demand.

This way, not only they got the tools that they wanted all in Python,
developed by the best contenders, and even managed to promote Python as
if it is the big language of the century so that it would be the only
right choice for developing those tools! Yeah right! :-)

These guys resort to these marketing tricks to promote Python as hell,
and the PHP people just sits and waits doing almost nothing in
comparision to promote PHP as hard as they can even when they lives
depend on the acceptance of PHP as a wide spread language!

Look here to see the trick:

If when you mean pro-active you mean that's intentional and is all part
of a plan,
then  we agree. If you acted somehow to promote PHP and got some
unexpected results
(good or bad) that is still marketing although not pro-active.

If you are going to descriminate sites based on subjective criteria,
like matters of taste or points of view that vary greatly from person to
person, that is bad because you will certainly leave out contributions
that could help greatly PHP and in the end yourself.

It would certainly would make you look arrogant if you get to be picky
as if including some sites and not others you would be doing somebody
else a favor when the promotion that PHP gets from the sites will always
benefit you direct or indirectly.

If I were you I certainly would not rule out sites with content that
overlaps others. Why not accept all sites that provide PHP articles? One
site may not be as good or as complete as other today, but they may
improve over time enough to be technically better than others that you
picked before. What would you do then? Accept what you refused before
and then discard what you accepted before? Doesn't seem to be a good
idea.

Anyway, in a Web ring banner you only promote a site at each banner
view. I don't see the problem of rotating banners of overlapped content.

You sound bureacratic. You should feel honoured by the extra promotion
that all the PHP content sites give you because your business depends on
PHP acceptance in the market. Why make it hard for sites that are
willing to help you in the end?

I think it is fair enough to make some base rules like "don't be too
lame" (define "too lame"), but almost everybody should be accepted.

I guess you just say that because you were simply not affected by the
major Internet layoffs that happened in the latest months, so you don't
seem to have a great idea how bad this has been for so many people.

Of course the Internet is not gone. It just happens that the number of
companies with business depending on it was drastically reduced. So,
there aren't so much employment and business opportinities as before.
That's what I mean.

[PHP] perl-esque data parsing for hex post variables

[Jason Mercer]

I can't get the php to convert audio data to nicely formed binary wav
format. For instance, in perl you simply do a

$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

and you're done with it.

In php, there are two problems:

1. no existence of a handy builtin hex2bin() function (though many have been
written, such as

function hex2bin($hex_str)


for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($hex_str); $i += 2)


$bin_str .= chr(hexdec(substr($hex_str, $i, 2)));

}

return $bin_str;

}

which seems to get the case done,

2. But the real problem is that doing a straight hex2bin conversion is not
what that beautiful little perl script does. The part that confuses me is
the hash oriented piece /%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/ -- what exactly is it
doing? Is it just stepping through the string two characters at a time and
comparing them? Or is it doing something more ambitious and arcane that I'm
not really grasping. I tried to emulate it with the following php
workaround, but come up short...

for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($hex_str); $i += 2)


$newdata =.
preg_replace("/[a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9]/",pack("C",hexdec(substr($hex_str, $i,
2))),$hex_str);

}

Any help?

[PHP] Database Preference?

[james]

We have several GUI applications that we are preparing to convert to
web-based applications, based primarily on PHP.  The applications are based
on Informix On-Line (on a SCO Unix server) and MS SQL (on NT).  Since we
will be doing a port, in any case, I am wondering your thoughts on whether
MySQL may be a better database solution.  This is particularly important
from a price-performance point of view since the other two databases are
quite pricy on a per-seat basis.

TIA,
James

[PHP] suggestions

[Glyndower]

I have a medium sized db... with about 300 feilds and 15k rows.

I need to create a search that will submit user input to seach the db from
about 30 different feilds with some of those wildcards.

i.e bedrooms, bathrooms, price, pool, city, etc

Would using an array for the results page be the best way to approach this
in PHP?

Re: [PHP] How do I read the first n lines from a file?

[Hugh Danaher]

If the lines terminate in "\n", I'd use fgets($fp,1000) in a loop, and loop
as many times as needed.

$fp=fopen("filename","r") or die ("couldn't open filename");
for ($count=1;$count<=10,$count++)
{
$line=fgets($fp,1000);   // the 1000 represents the number of bytes to
go to unless it finds "\n" sooner.
print "$line";
}
I'm prety sure the above will work.

Re: [PHP] is_numeric for php3

[Prottoss]

You can use sprintf() to determine if a number is numeric or not.
/*
Return TRUE if numeric and FALSE if not.
*/
function is_numeric_php3($var)
{
if( !isset($var) ) 
return FALSE;

if( $var==0 ) 
return TRUE;

if( sprintf("%f", $var) ) 
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE:
}

This code seems to work and runs faster then a regex.

Re: [PHP] LONGINT... ? to be or not to be?...

[Papp Gyozo]

Hello,

you should check the latest version of the manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php

more precisely and specifically the "integer overflow" section.

I think, you should use the arbitrary precision integer extension.

[PHP] Exclamation point appearing from nowhere

[Saul Ishida]

Hey, please, I'm using the function mail() in one of
my scripts, but when I use it, one exclamation point
appears from nowhere in the email body. And it appears
in different places, it moves around in the email
body. It is very strange. And everytime, every email I
send, it appears, no exception.

If you could help me, I would be very gratefull!

thanks!

Re: [PHP] double check query statement??

[ERISEN, Mehmet Kamil]

Hi it may sound funny, but you may want to add a space at
the end of lines before ".
I mean
$query = "SELECT mpn_job.ID, job, assigned_to, status_date,
category ";
  $query .= "FROM mpn_job, mpn_job_category WHERE CID =
mpn_job_category.ID ";
  $query .= "AND category = '$category'";

also 
echo $query; 
before you run the php page to see the sql. I think your
$query is like

SELECT mpn_job.ID, job, assigned_to, status_date,
categoryFROM mpn_job, mpn_job_category WHERE CID =
mpn_job_category.IDND category
= '$category'
now, and it willl not run!

Sure - you need to have an extra space at the
end of each line... right now, it comes out like
... status_date, categoryFROM mpn_job ...
 ... mpn_job_category.IDAND category ...

I often find it useful to echo the query statement
just before using it... it makes mistakes like this
kind of obvious.

Also, if you used
$result = @mysql_query($query)
or die("Error querying: ".mysql_error());
you should get more-useful error messages.

RE: [PHP] is_numeric for php3

[scott [gts]]

my understanding is that numeric is a broad term for 
number values (any value with only numbers and a 
decimal point) like 1, 5.6, 332, 0.5532, for example.

integers are a sub-set of numerics, so any integer is
a numeric value, but any numeric value is not
necessarily an integer.

$num=123 is an integer *and* numeric value.

$num='123' might not be an integer, but it is
a numeric.

now the problem of how to devise a proper test for
numeric values (without using regexps) is what i'd
like to see.

RE: [PHP] is_numeric for php3

[scott [gts]]

well.  sure, is_numeric() will work, but the point of the
exercise is to try and determine if a number is numeric
without actually calling is_numeric() or regexps.

personally, i think that regexps are swiss-army knives,
they can do almost anything -- i use them all the time,
although it took me a few months to fully understand them
and get over regexp-heebie-jeebies of my own.

General procedure is to give a rough sketch of what you want to accomplish,
what development tools you are using, how long it will take, and a request

[PHP] double check query statement??

[Gerard Samuel]

  $query = "SELECT mpn_job.ID, job, assigned_to, status_date, category";
  $query .= "FROM mpn_job, mpn_job_category WHERE CID =
mpn_job_category.ID";
  $query .= "AND category = '$category'";
  $result = mysql_query($query);
  $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
  foreach ($row as $data) {
 echo "$data[0]";
  }

I tried the SELECT statement from mysql command line (less $category, I 
used an actual category name) and it works there.  I try it out in php, 
and I get nothing.  (I echoed $category before this and it works 
correctly)  Do you guys see anything in there that may need correcting?

RE: [PHP] Link Checker

[scott [gts]]

although it's a bit klunky (and not entirely correct) to do
things this way, but a simple fopen(); will tell you if
the URL is retrievable or not.

(although i dont think that fopen() handles redirects or any
of those esoteric HTTP features)

but if you want to make sure that a link is there, with
no SSL, redirects, or any other stuff, fopen() should
be more than sufficient.

RE: [PHP] is_numeric for php3

[scott [gts]]

i think he's asking for a numeric test, not an integer test.

your example looks like it should fail "3.50" (for example),
even though "3.50" is a perfectly valid numeric value.

personally, i think you should just use regexps. ;-)

i tried to write a little is_num() type function, but i kept
getting caught on split();  it seems that split() converts
everything to string, no matter what.  so if you try to split
on the decimal point of 45.67 ... you get two strings, "45" and "67"
not 45 and 67, so subsequent is_integer() calls fail 
(since is_integer() checks the *type* of the variable,
not the *value* -- very important to keep in mind)

here's what i came up with... perhaps it will be of some
help to you (even though it doesnt work)


function is_num($number) {

  // $x contains number, $y contains any decimal value
  list ($x, $y) = split("\.", $number);

  // if there's no decimal value
  if ( empty($y) ) {
return is_int($x);
  }
  else {
return ( is_int($x) && is_int($y) );
  }

}

Re: [PHP] is_numeric for php3

[daniel james]

Hi Philip,

By definition, any string that does not contain
alpha-characters is numeric.  I mean, '123' is an
integer, if only because it isn't 'onetwothree', you
know?

Because if I do this:

$num1 = '123';
$num2 = '456';
$total = $num1 + $num2;
print($total);

the total is going to be 579.  You know?

I guess I'm not following you.  Maybe if you give me
the problem in context I can help.

I believe that it was called Personal Home Page during version 2, and if I'm 
not mistaken, there was a contest (sorta) around the time 3 was released to 
find a new name.

Re: [PHP] is_numeric for php3

[Philip Olson]

Hi Daniel,

No, I mean if it's numeric, not neccesarily an integer.  As the following
is numeric and not an integer but rather, a string : 

  $num = '123';

Anyone have an authoritative answer on this?  Like, something that would
go in the manual as the official php3 is_numeric check?

Regards,
Philip

Re: [PHP] Check if a word is in my string.

[daniel james]

if you're just looking for the 1st occurrence of the
string, it's--

$check = "good";
$var = "This is a good...";

if (!strstr($var, $check)) {
print("$check not found");
}

also, i think strstr() is case-insensitive, so it
won't be able to differentiate between 'Good' and
'good', and will NOT return FALSE if 'Good' precedes
'good' in the string...

Re: [PHP] two dimensional array or two arrays?

[Philip Olson]

Your $categoryarry is a 2d array, try :

  print_r($categoryarry);

But, I think you want to do :

  $categories = array('Sasheen','Tom','Fred');

Now, if you do this :

  while(list($key,$value) = each($categories)) {
  
print "$key : $value\n";
  }

You'll get :

  0 : Sasheen
  1 : Tom
  2 : Fred

Could also define your array like so :

  $categories = array('a' => 'foo', 'b' => 'bar');

Which, if run through our loop above, will give us :

  a : foo
  b : bar

See?  Play with it a bit, it'll start to make more and more sense.

Regards,
Philip

  Use php's functions to change, check the last modified, and change it

[PHP] Data duplication in databases

[Julian Wood]

Hi,

Don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I thought I would give 
it a try.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any databases which deal with 
data duplication (at a low level). Say I have two (or ten) identical 
records, does anyone know of any databases which would only keep one 
copy of the data and use references for the other records? Does this 
work if 7 out of the 8 columns (for instance) are identical (ie the 
primary key is different but everything else is identical). Do such db's 
exist? Or do they all do this? Or am I just dreaming?

I am afraid that is only theory. I tried that for the snmp module and all I get

This really is a faq.

Mysql.sock normally lives in /tmp think RH puts it in /var/lib PHP can't 
find it. Might be php.ini looks in /var/lib change it there to match the 
location of you mysql.sock .. also .. check if mysql is running (ps ax | 
grep mysql). If it isn't you can't connect to it.

Bye,

Re: [PHP] LONGINT... ? to be or not to be?...

[Sheridan Saint-Michel]

A couple of points here...  First, 0 is obviously wrong for
3221225472 & 1073741824
But I don't know how you got 2147483648 either.
I get 1073741824 as 
3221225472 = 1100
1073741824 = 0100

1100 & 
0100 =
0100

right?

Anyways, to your question  =P

First, if you check here: 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php

you will see that int's in PHP are always signed and that if
they exceed the max size for an int they are converted to a 
float.

Try running this on your server

";
echo "y = ";
var_dump($y);
?>

I would be willing to bet that $x is a float and $y is an int, so
the bitwise operator can't compare them.  The only 
workaround I can offer you is this



It's a bit kludgy but it forces both $x and $y to be compared
as binary numbers, which is what you want  =)

[PHP] two dimensional array or two arrays?

[Tom Beidler]

I have some code I use to create pulldown menus. It's as follows;

$categoryarry = array("","1","2","3","4","5");
while (list($key,$value) = each($categoryarry)) {
  if ($value == $srch_cat) {
$cat_option .= "$value\n";
  } else {
$cat_option .= "$value\n";
  }
}

It works fine when the pulldown value and displayed text are the same, ie.

John

But now I would like to change so the value is different then what's
displayed in the menu, ie.

John

I've never used two dimensional arrays but I thought it might be what I need
to look into. Or should I have to arrays and use one for the value and the
other for the item displayed in the pulldown menu.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

[PHP] htaccess and $PHP_AUTH_USER

[Rene Fournier]

Please, someone, help me...

What I want to do:  Have a user prompted for an ID/password, both of which
(if valid), get passed to a PHP script, which then uses the ID/password to
selectively display certain fields of a table.  (For example, if the user
logs in as "Sales", he would only see the sales-related fields of the
tables.  Whereas, if the user logs in as "Production", she would see the
production-related fields.  Pretty simple.)

I've read the PHP docs on $PHP_AUTH_USER.  One stupid question:  Must I use
the htaccess directory-protection feature of Apache in order for this to
work (or is$PHP_AUTH_USER not dependent on Apache (or any web server) at
all)?  I mean, from reading the docs, it seems as if the value stored in
$PHP_AUTH_USER comes what the user types into the Apache-spawned dialog box
(when the user types the URL containing that password-protected
directory.)??  The thing is, when I turn password protection on for the
directory in question, and add the users and passwords to the htaccess file,
then go to the URL in the browser, I get prompted several times for a user
and password--first, it seems, by Apache, then by the PHP code I copied from
the docs.

If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Best would be some real code
running in a similar server environment.  (The site in question is running
on www.fatcow.com servers--they're running PHP3 (shouldn't matter, right)
and Apache.)

MUCH thanks in advance...

...Rene

[PHP] PHP and MySQL auth?

[Alex Sofronie]

Hello, all.
What is the difference between:
Case 1: I auth with header('WWW-Auth...') and validate the user from a
plain file. Next, i do something like
mysql_connect($the_db_host,$the_db_username,$the_db_pass);
mysql_select_db($the_db_name);
mysql_query("select * from table");
- and it works fine.

Case 2. Without any form of auth, I read the text file and do
   mysql_connect($the_db_host,$the_db_username,$the_db_pass);
mysql_select_db($the_db_name);
mysql_query("select * from table");

and the server response is:
Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock; (111)

What does this auth do with the rights on mysql?
Thanks.

[PHP] exec() major probs

[Terry Reynolds]

Hi

I am having major probs trying to exec a command in PHP.
All i want to do is fill a table from a tab delimited file from within PHP.
I have set up a file called fillit which consists of:
mysqlimport -u user -ppassword database list.txt
This works from the command line perfectly.
I made this executable & it runs perfectly with .fillit
It will not run with exec, system or passthru.
I have tried nearly all possible combinations with and without backticks, single, 
double and no quotes.
I have rw access to the dir I am running from and have read the manual until I'm blue 
in the face!
Has anyone out there used the xece command successfully??
Ps if I exec("ls -l"), it works fine !

Linux box Using PHP 4.0.??. latest version MySql, Apache Slackware

[PHP] LONGINT... ? to be or not to be?...

[Alexey Prohorenko]

Hello,

I have one question. How can PHP work with longint (in C we call
them "unsigned long") variables?
F.e., I want to do next thing:

65536 & 4096 = 0 (this is right)
65536 & 65536 = 65536 (again, everything is okay)
196608 & 65536 = 65536 (perfect, it works great)

but,

3221225472 & 1073741824 = 0 (this is wrong, right answer isn't 0
 but 2147483648)

So, can anybody help me with this? Any suggestions? 

Thanks, anyway. Looking forward your answers.
Will check my mailbox every 5 minutes. :-)

Re: [PHP] POST problem

[Steve Edberg]

My guess is that your register_globals config option is off:

http://php.he.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.register-globals

(I believe that recent versions of PHP have it off by default). You 
should be able to access the values you want via

$HTTP_POST_VARS['name']
and
$HTTP_POST_VARS['age']

Exactly.  When you do ./configure --with-foo=shared; make
then modules/foo.so will appear magically and you can dl() that or load it
using "extension=foo.so" in your php.ini.  You don't have to recompile
PHP.

[PHP] Putting variables in a string

[P.Agenbag]

I am trying to make a string that will contain variables.

The resulting string will be a sql query string and must look something
like

" update $table_name set  key='$key' , next='$next' where id = $id"

Since the variable name is the same as the key name, I tried to generate
this string with a foreach statement looking something like this:

foreach( $myrow as $key=>$val) {
$sql .= "$key = ' \$$key ' ,";
}

This then makes the string look as follow:

key='$key',next='$next', and I just add the rest of the string to the
front and back, yet, when I now try to use this string in the
mysql_query() function, it does not recognise the '$key' and '$next' as
variables and add them into the db as $key and $next. I need to know how
I am going to make this string "recognise" the variables in them.

check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php as a place to start.
if cookies are turned off, the session is maintained in the url.

have you figured out your mac session problem? i use a mac to develop my
sites, and many of them use sessions without a problem. when i turn off
cookies in the browser (usually the latest version of ie) php handles it
smoothly.

Subject: [PHP] str_replace() function help


Hello,

I am creating an online text editor for a magazine site and I want to be
able to apply some CSS formatting into it. The following is the script that
adds the  tags where necessary, then it strips the  tags by
replacing them with some  tags with CSS formatting. The problem I'm
having is that it will not pick up on those  tags (2 at a time). I
think it has something to do with the newline (\n) and return (\r) escape
characters not capturing the  tags. Maybe I didn't set it up
correctly. Below the code is the input (exactly as typed in the online text
editor), the undesired output I'm getting when I run the article through the
script, and the desired output that I want.

Please Note that I am trying to comply with the XHTML standards and will be
converting these into XHTML, therefore all tags must be closed ( example:
 ), and all empty tags must be closed in this way:  ( example:
 ). Also note that I am trying to stay away from other pattern
matching and replacing functions. The reason is that str_replace() seems
much faster than the rest. If it is possible, I would like to stick with
str_replace(). But if this turns out to be too complex for str_replace to
handle, then I will consider other options. I am on a Win2000 platform
running PHP 4.0.6 (which may or may not be relevant). Thanks in advance this
anyone who helps me out with this, I would really appreciate it.

There are numerous definitions for the word hero. I would like to define
heroes as individuals who inspire us to emulate their level of perseverance
and success. Simply put, heroes are people we look up to.

Life is full of celebrated heroes: sports figures, individuals from all
walks of the entertainment industry, famous and infamous politicians, and
distinguished individuals from the business and science arenas, just to name
a few. But for every celebrated hero, there is at least one unsung hero.
This "Spotlight" segment is dedicated to the unsung heroes of our time.

Recently, I have been corresponding via email with three very dedicated and
talented students from the University of Toronto whom I consider real life
heroes. Once you read about their accomplishments as well as their trials
and tribulations in life and the positive example they intend to set for the
Afghan youths everywhere, I am sure you will agree with my assessment.

Yeah, you can't do much with cookies turned off these days anyway.
Another way to do it is to use $PHP_AUTH_USER, it's easier (but not
as pretty) and you won't have to worry about cookies.

[PHP] POST problem

[Mashrab Kuvatov]

Hi everybody,
i'm a newie in php, but i have a general understanding
of it.

Recently, i've installed PHP as a static module on my
Apache-1.3.19 and tried an example i read in PHP
tutorial.

Assume you have a page with a form like this on it:


Your name: 
You age: 



and action.php like this

Hi .
You are  years old.

This action.php is supposed to print out values one
enters to the form fields. Right?

So, my problem is that it doesn't. Instead, it prints
Hi.You are years old.

Can anyone help me to figure it out or to point me to
the right direction so in future i won't annoy you
with my silly questions.

Thanks in advance,
Mashrab.

RE: [PHP] unset() in a class

[daniel james]

If that's the code you're running, it's got several
problems--

1st, the function is mysql_query()
2nd, the query is built like this:

$connection = mysql_connect('host', 'user', 'pass');
$db = mysql_select_db('db', $connection);
$query = "SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE primary_key =
'$primary_key'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or
die("file not found");
