[PHP] dates problem
I'm having a prowith determing a time interval. I need to find out how many seconds, minutes, days have passed since a cpecific date (1.1.1980.), but when I pass that dade to a time stamp , I get 1983.315529200. How am I suposed to handle the year (1983.) o there is smething else ? I think the only way to do this is to make the time stamp for the interval between now and the specific date. thanx Nikola Veber -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] Re: run a script for any HTTP request (was: run a script on access toa directory)
Jason thanks! your information about those 512 bytes is VERY useful but just a lil' too late, i already came up with a solution using a conditional URL rewrite rule in my apache, along with a " ForceType .." which helps me invoke my php script, if anyone is interested i can send out the details, it actually executes the php script for every http request received by the apache server. Rasmus, thanks for your efforts on PHP development, we ALL owe you big time. I hope you succeed with that request_rec stuff soon, i spent some 4 hours making possible that a script be invoked for every http request... this has to be easier for next PHP version!

[PHP] files
hey, I have a large file and I want to keep the last x row of it. I
figured out how to navigate to the point where I want to extract the
data, but I cant figure out how to extact from the file current $fp and
write out the data to another file.
Think of it like this, when the file gets to be x bytes, get the last 20
lines from it and copy it to another file, so that I could dump the old
and replace it witht the new
Thanks.
<--snip of example code-->
$fp = fopen("./chat/chat.txt", "r+");
$size = filesize("chat/chat.txt");
$count = 0;
while (!@feof($fp)) {
$lines = fgets($fp, 4096);
$count = $count + 1;
}
$count--; // return the correct # of lines in file

[PHP] PHP and MySQL
Hello, we're using our MySQL database quite extensively from our PHP scripts, but sometimes everything stops working and it says "Too many connections". Is there a problem with MySQL support from within PHP? Doesn't it close its connections with the database when the script stops executing? Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem?

[PHP] Reprise of dissapearing session variables
ok! I've been trying to figure this out, and I'm completely stumped! I've started from
scratch with a test script, here is my code:
Testing";
print $PHPSESSID;
print "\$sess_name is: $sess_name\$sess_auth is: $sess_auth";
if ($go) {
print "Go was initiated";
$sess_name = "BillyBob";
};
if (session_is_registered("sess_name") != FALSE) {
print "\$sess_name is registered with the session!";
} else {
print "\$sess_name is NOT registered with the session!";
};
?>
The session variables will remain set, but will it looks like my session gets lost
every now and then if you want to see an example, go to
http://northpointless.org/test.php and hit refresh several times. I cannot figure out
what is happening.
[PHP] Iffy W2K, dodgy PHP or sketchy programmer?
Been up for four f**g hours too late trying to find something
wrong with my code, lately finding out, that there apparently is nothing
wrong with it (in this particular case). I wish for verification.
As a developement box I run a W2K, newest Apache and PHP 4.0.whatnot.
Had this problem of first page loaded not getting a SID. It required
reloading once, before sessions started working for itself. Impossible
to accept, since login (through a different file) is possible straight
from this page. Header("location: referer etc") sending me back to the
unsessioned page. No amount of forceful SID entries helped. Got very
annoyed and pulled one of those sure-to-work "hello world" programs:
Counter initialized, please reload this page to see it
increment";
} else {
echo "Waking up session $PHPSESSID";
$SESSION["count"]++;
}
echo "The counter is now $SESSION[count] ";
?>
Guess what, it did not work either. Except that it did, uploaded to the
providers server (basic unix stuff. More or less the same version on
PHP), as did my own script. Now why is that?
Does someone know a explanation/remedy for this, since it makes
developing slightly inconsistent with this requiring that gimmick and
that not.
Regards to anyone caring to answer.

[PHP] Ordering a query
I use the following code to order the results of the query by the variable $order.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT
articles.title,vote.votes,vote.total,articles.date,staff.firstname,articles.content,articles.id
FROM staff,articles,vote WHERE articles.authorid = staff.id AND articles.id =
vote.item ORDER BY `$order` DESC",$db);
I assign the variable a value according to my url,
http://www.mysite.com/file.php?order=something
My question is. Is there a way of assigning the $order variable a default value? Like
if they hit http://www.mysite.com/file.php without the order=something can I tell the
script to assign $order a default value?
Thanks,
Nate
[PHP] Delete top 2 lines (was file management)
Here is what Im attempting
$size = filesize("chat/chat.txt"); // get size of file
if (filesize("chat/chat.txt") > 500) { // if over x bytes chop it down
$fp = fopen("./chat/chat.txt", "r+"); // open a fp
$count = 0; // setup a count
while (!@feof($fp) && ($count < 2)) { //if not eof & < 2
rewind($fp); // go to beginning
$bytes = fgets($fp, 4096); // get the # of bytes in line
ftruncate($fp, $bytes); // kill line with # of bytes
$count = $count + 1; // increment count
} // end while loop
fclose($fp);
// close fp
}
// close if
here is what is happening currently, when the file goes over 500 bytes,
the whole file gets dumped, not what I want. The form Im using can only
put out 109 bytes plus /n total. In this example (if you want to call
it one), I would like it to kill the first 2 lines in the file. Thanks
to Hughes for putting me on to this, its a little clearer...

Yes, the built-in default will be used if you have no php.ini file. Or if PHP can't find it.

I am positive. /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start I have never touched the apache installation.

Re: [PHP] file management
You know what, I think Im explaining myself wrong. The word truncate in
itself means I believe to cut at the bottom. This isn't what I need.
Basically, its a chat script and all the newer messages are at the
bottom, and when the file reaches x bytes I want to 'cut off the head'
of the file by x lines. leaving the most current messages at the bottom
alone.
Ive been messing around with truncate all this time getting the wrong
results. Why cant files be as easy as databases :)
If any one has a clue please point it to me.
Meantime, back to the manual.

[PHP] strange register_shutdown_function() and fopen() conflict
scenario...
i am trying to open a file from i function that is called automatically
because it is registered with register_shutdown_function().
for some reason i am unable to call fopen(). i am assuming that my script
causes a fatal error and i cannot see the output because with apache, one is
not able to output at this stage.
i'm running redhat linux roswell (7.2 beta), apache 1.3.19
for the code that appears below, if i comment out the line:
$testfp = fopen("test.txt", "w+");
then i get the following output.txt file:
opened output.txt successfully
entered test_shutdown_function()
failed to open test.txt
end test_shutdown_function()
if i don't comment out the line, then i get only this:
opened output.txt successfully
entered test_shutdown_function()
any suggestions? my script must be terminating and i'm wondering why?
i have tried to eliminate the possibility that fopen is failing for ordinary
i/o or permissions reasons.
any ideas? or maybe just a hint as to how to debug this?
here is the code

Re: [PHP] URLencode
Simplest way is to do this
$string = "my string";
$string=urlencode(str_replace(" ","+",$string));
ie use str_replace to manually replace spaces with +, urlencode then won't
do anything further to it

Re: [PHP] Re: run a script for any HTTP request (was: run a script on access to a directory)
IE has "Friendly Error Messages" so on a normal 404 response, IE would show it's own error message, and not the one from the server.

Re: [PHP] Re: run a script for any HTTP request (was: run a scripton access to a directory)
What do you mean MSIE does not support 404 ErrorDocument? That is a server-side function. It has absolutely nothing to do with the browser. Try going to: http://php.net/strlen That is an ErrorDocument 404 thing that kicks in and takes you to the right place in the PHP documentation. And believe me, it works just fine for people using MSIE. Right now an ErrorDocument 404 is the only way to do this. I am currently working on the framework to allow PHP scripts to be inserted at any stage in the Apache request_rec handler mechanism. This would allow you to run a PHP script to translate uri's to on-disk pathnames for example, write Apache authentication modules in PHP and many many other efficient ways to shoot yourself in the foot. Needs another week or two of development before it will be ready for serious testing though. -Rasmus > MSIE does not support 404 ErrorDocument, that only works fine > with Netscape.

The other alternative is to make sure that none of the urls you are accessing actually exist and then setup an ErrorDocument handler which calls the php script of your choice... which can then do whatever you want... -philip On Fri, 7 Sep 2001, Enrique Vadillo wrote: > That was a fine idea Doug, but what if we push the subject and > go a little further? > > I am thinking now that i'd like to make it possible that for > ANY http request received by my Apache i'd like to have a php > script executed first, i.e.: > > http://domain.com/ > http://domain.com/anydir/anyfile > > for any of those locations typed, i'd like to be able to > execute the php script. i know it's kinda weird but this is > what i'm really looking for. any ideas anyone? > > Enrique- > > >From: "Doug Granzow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: execute a script on access to a directory > >Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2001 15:38:45 -0400 > > > >You can make "go" the name of your PHP script, then put this in your Apache > >config: > > > > > > ForceType application/x-httpd-php > > > > > >Now in your "go" script, you have it do whatever you wanted it to do, then > >use an include to load the "getit" script. > > > >Doug Granzow > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I would like to know how i can force a PHP script to be > > > executed everytime a certain directory is accessed, for > > > example in http://domain.com/go/getit the presence of the > > > /go/ directory would force a PHP script to be executed > > > prior to any operation. > > > > > > Do i need to play with rewriting urls in Apache or is > > > there any other cleaner method (that would not require > > > rewriting URLs) to achieve this? i'd hate to have to > > > rewrite URLs... > > > > > > thanks. > > > _ > Descargue GRATUITAMENTE MSN Explorer en http://explorer.msn.es/intl.asp > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

use an include to load the "getit" script.

Re: [PHP] execute a script on access to a directory

[PHP] Re: network connections
If you're talking over a million messages, I think you need a solution that is designed specifically for handling mail. I would suggest looking into qmail (www.qmail.org) to replace sendmail on the server in question. qmail is much more efficient than sendmail in handling large amounts of mail, and it won't drag your server down. I think it's possible that some of your smtp connections are hanging for some reason or another, and PHP is not timing them out. 10,000 connections out of 1 million emails means about 1% of your connections are failing in some way -- not surprising when talking smtp. If you're talking smtp directly to remote mail server, how are you handling retries, failed mail, etc.? Again, I would suggest qmail since it would take care of all of that for you, instead of you having to reinvent the wheel. I have a script which sends out about 30,000 emails once a month, through qmail, and it is set up so that qmail automatically routes any bounces back to another script where I can update my database to reflect which users' mail is bouncing.

[PHP] execute a script on access to a directory
Hi, I would like to know how i can force a PHP script to be executed everytime a certain directory is accessed, for example in http://domain.com/go/getit the presence of the /go/ directory would force a PHP script to be executed prior to any operation. Do i need to play with rewriting urls in Apache or is there any other cleaner method (that would not require rewriting URLs) to achieve this? i'd hate to have to rewrite URLs... thanks.

Or if you don't have access to httpd.conf and/or not mod_rewrite

[PHP] Re: clear contents? - Ignore previous response
Oops!!!
I didn't read your question fully.
I think you CAN do what you want, if you can get some kind of cookie or
and/or session variable to work to record when the user got to your page.
You leave your logic as is, except that when you get a valid
user you check to see if they have been on the page before via
a cookie and/or session variable. If they haven't, you just go
on as normal. If they have been to your page you FIRST reset the
cookie/session variable to say they haven't been to the page
and THEN issue your header AS IF THEY HAD THE INCORRECT USERNAME/
PASSWORD. This will force the browser to reprompt for username/password
and when they come back to your page, you'll treat them as if they've
never been there and let them through.
e.g. using cookies (I don't use sessions so I might get the syntax wrong),
if ( (! $auth) or $reprompt == 'Yes')
{
// Cancel the reprompt
cookie("reprompt");
header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Private"' );
header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' );
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
} else
// Mark them ready to be reprompted next time
cookie("reprompt","Yes");
session_start();
}

[PHP] Re: UD4 & PhAkt Users?
Thanks for your comments. The advice to just learn the code is both wise and simple. To complicate matters, I did download a trial version of Ultra Dev, installed PhAkt, found a JDBC driver that would work through my Mac to connect to a MySQL database, only to learn that the webhosting company won't allow such connections. So until I'm able to set up a local testing environment (an expensive and time consuming affair), UltraDev isn't an option for me. In short, your advice has been supported by my experience.

[PHP] Re: clear contents?
Jeremy,
I don't think it's possible to do what you want, and I have tried finding
a way.
With your "header " you are requestion an http authentication which means
the browser has to store the username and password and send them with EVERY page.
Those are the rules.
The only way to tell the browser to lose the username/password that I've found is to
tell
it that they're incorrect, (even though they are correct). But if you do
that it will go and ask the user to type them in again another three times
before it gives up and drops them.
You'll find that most of your users will probably keep the username/password
even after closing the browser and switching their computer off, which I guess
is even worse as far as you're concerned.
I hope I'm wrong but if you really must get them to enter username/password
every time, I think you'll have to create your own login box and forget
about http authentication.
It might be worth posting your question to an apache newsgroup as well. Even
if you're not using Apache, you should find those guys know just about everything
there is to know about http authentication.
Good Luck and I hope I'm wrong!
George

Can anyone tell me how to compare string values in non-case sensitive way(with
no difference between upper and lower case characters Name == name)

Subject: [PHP] ereg_replace - How do I stop it being "greedy"?
Hi,
I've got a problem with regular expression syntax with ereg_replace:
ereg_replace(':start:(.*):end:','this is \\1',':start: first :end: middle
:start: last :end:');
returns - this is first :end: middle :start: last
but I want - this is first middle this is last
The problem seems to be that ereg_replace is being greedy on the match and
matching as much as it
can
instead of just finding the first match, handling that and then going on to
the next match.
I can get it to work with preg_replace i.e.
preg_replace(':start:(.*?):end:','this \\1',':start first :end: middle
:start: last :end:')
returns - this is first middle this is last
But my actual string is on multiple lines, and preg_replace doesn't seem to
continue trying
to match on the next line, whereas ereg_replace happily treats newlines just
like any other
character.
So how do I stop ereg_replace being greedy or alternatively get preg_replace
to treat multiple
lines as a single source string?

[PHP] network connections
i've got a command-line php script that i've been using to deliver large amounts of e-mail. originally it relied on mail() to deliver the messages but i could easily overload sendmail and bring the box (redhat 7.1) to a crawl. so i am now using the various network functions to speak smtp directly from the script. i seem to be having a problem with an excessive number of tcp connections that eventually brings down the machine. i have attempted a semi-multi-threaded approach by spawning off additional copies of the script to deliver more mail simultaneously. so i might have 100 copies of the script running at the same time. and this was after dumping a million messages into my mysql-based mail queue. things may run okay for a few hours...maybe even a day...but then doing a netstat shows over 10k tcp connections. and the only way i've found to fix the problem is to reboot the machine. thinking that i was attempting too many connections at the same time, i throttled down the number of threads to 25. this slowed down my mail delivery of course. and it allowed the machine to stay up longer. but i eventually ran into the same problem after maybe two or three weeks. just before it died, i was showing over 30k tcp connections. are they any known issues in the php networking code that would cause this to happen? as far as i know, i should never have more than 25 tcp connections open. but i'm not sure if they are not being closed properly or what. -- -jr -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] urlencode
Hi, I need to know wich is the best way to send variables through an URL,that if the variables are of the string type, and what if the variable has spaces like $string='this is a test'. I have read about the use of urlencode(), but I have a strange behaviour using this function, sometimes it work and sometimes not. for an example I send the variable $user='user 1', and in the url there appears user=user+1 (which I think is correct) but when I read the variable in the php page it displays user+1 (doesn´t it has to return to user '1'?).

Re: [PHP] php includes === Dreamweaver library items
Robert,
Well, I bet you're getting tired of this thread! So just a few closing
remarks:
a) Nested Loops - Yup, they're not so common that we can't just fudge
about with a bit of embedded html.
b) Luggage - I may yet agree with you about the advantages of two neatly
packed bags!
c) An awkward DreamWeaver/php solution -
It seems I'm close to achieving what I set out, it may be functional,
but it's not particularly elegant,thats for sure. Here's how it goes :
For the Dreamweaver user:
- the files on the site targetted by urls are .php templates which remain fully
Dreamweaver editable/previewable and link-testable. All the html is in those
files. The designer can include any number of Dreamweaver library items and change
their names at any time as they like.
- the Dreamweaver library files must be synced with the server along with the .php
templates, style sheets etc. Provided the designers do that, all pages are
guaranteed to have the library code in the current master (server) copy,
which can be edited by any means. Designers have to watch out for master copies
changing either because of the activity of other designers or programmers of course.
For the php programmer:
- the main body of php code (queries etc.) is in a per page include,
i.e. the "template" reads the code instead of the code reading the template! (That's
so the designers can check the links are ok).
- the include of the code is added to the top of the designer's template in a
php tag.
- in the html of the template the progammer adds/checks tags for the php data and
control structures
i.e. for data
or Example of myvar.
for repeating or conditional blocks you need start and end tags
or at the start
and at the end of the block.
There are no restrictions on the php you can embed, you can have includes
of any depth, functions, whatever.
- you can also, if you want, add php to library items without restriction.
Noone of that seems to be too bad, but the one special and really horrid extra
on each page is to force the substitution of includes for library
items. It seems (but I haven't tested it fully), that the code to "top and tail "
the actual template html is this :
IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO ACTUAL TEMPLATE HTML/PHP
eval(dream_sub(strrev(substr(strrev(substr(<<
TEMPLATE HTML/PHP
etc.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACTUAL TEMPLATE HTML/PHP
where dream_sub is something like this: -
function dream_sub($string)
{
return(preg_replace('/.*?/'
,'',$string);
}
(Beware, the regular expression is wrong, I'm still trying to get it to work,
ereg_replace was fine
but
too greedy so I had to switch to preg)
That's it. It's not too much code and it is the same every single time, but
ugly or what!
It could be a bit prettier, but as it's always going to be horrible, I'm tempted
to leave it looking horrible, so noone's under any illusions!
What we're actually doing is turning the whole of the template html/php into
a string via the "heredoc" but while fooling Dreamweaver that we closed the
php tags. We strip out the php/comment tags which fool Dreamweaver with a
strrev and substr's to save having to store the text and then fooling about,
(that could be changed). Then having picked up the template contents we substitute
any Dreamweaver library item tags by an include of whatever the library name was.
Just in case we have nested library items (I don't know if that's possible with
Dreamweaver), we make sure we recursively substitute any library items in the library
item files themselves as we bring them in. (That's why we have the
dream_sub/implode/file stuff
instead of a plain include).
I reckon this should work (when I get the b regular expression working!). It
should also
work reasonably well with any other html editors that respect php tags, and if they
have
library functionality it shouldn't be too hard to adapt dream_sub for an appropriate
effect.
At the end of the day, this all seems to be spoiling the Dreamweavers far too much.
I've even
gone back to calling the pages .php rather than leaving them extensionless, just so
that their
stupid desktops don't get too confused! So my urls are going to be uglier but I guess
it at
least means that php gets some credit on the sites!
Anyway, it's been very interesting to hear your ideas, and don't be surprised if I
give up and
switch to FastTemplate!
