[PHP] Help needed: Failed opening '' for inclusion
Hi, To test a new php installation I accessed a page called index.php that contains only ?php phpinfo(); ? but that produces this error: Warning: Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/include/php:/usr/local/bin/ph p') in Unknown on line 0 This seems very odd given that: a) the error does not specify any filename that failed opening, only '', and b) permissions of the index.php file and the include path directories are readable by all users. I have even started the php fastcgi runner as root to double-check the permissions aspect of this. The setup is php 4.0.6 with Zeus webserver version 4 using FastCGI on Solaris 2.6. Any ideas? Help of any sort would be greatly appreciated.

[PHP] Classes
Hi Can anyone explain classes to me please? On many sites have I seen classes, I'm not sure how these work, or how to use them. I'm still learning about php, and I get it going nicely. Is a class something like a variable (but as a whole script) that I simply include into my other scripts? Your help would be grateful as I'm still learning, and all info or knowledge helps Regards Rudi Ahlers -- 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] Can php do this?
I've followed this with interest, but unless you specifically need some
properties of PHP to do this, use an easier tool.
Python has modules for both MySQL and PHP. They are easily invoked and
don't involve calling Lynx feeding it the script.
Here's some code, you might want to think about it as an alternative. I
hope the indents preserve, as Python reliese on indentation and a CR ends
it's line.

After I create this file (cron.file) for ex

crontab cronfile (I do this as root, if it matters)
do permissions need to be set? I really can't recall
I would think that would do it as I am not uploading it

Re: [PHP] Classes
Miles,
I have come from a QBASIC to VFP to VC++ to PHP (VFP and PHP are my primary
languages), so I'll try to clear it up a bit.
In VFP, there is no constructor. I believe that the equivalent is the
init() method. The init() method, or the constructor (in PHP, C++, etc)
are useful for doing stuff that needs to be done when an object is
created. Likewise in true object oriented languages (PHP is not one of
them yet), there is a Destructor that is called when an object goes out of
scope or is deleted. In VFP, there is a Destroy() method to simulate this
behavior.
In VFP, there is the notion of Public, Private, and Hidden properties. PHP
does not yet support this behavior. In PHP, especially since it is such a
loosely typed language, you can add and remove properties on the
fly. Generally when programming in PHP, I like to identify private
properties and methods by placing a single underscore before their
name. This makes it clear for someone using the class not to ever
reference these entities.
If you want to see a neat example of object oriented programming in action
(not that I like M$ or anything), check out how the Microsoft Foundation
Classes (MFC) work. They effectively demonstrate public and private class
members, inheritance, constructors, destructors, parent objects, etc...
Hope it Helped...

with an easy-to-visualize object, the chair.
But I have two questions:
1. Why is a constructor class needed? My OO background is Visual FoxPro,
and all it requires is a declaration of the class, it' methods and properties.
2. Are the chairs properties exposed, or are they private? You use
functions to both set and retrieve them, which implies that they are
private. Even so, PHP's syntax is much cleaner than the tortured syntax

Classes aren't unique to PHP. You need to learn a true object-oriented
programming language (C++, Java, ... etc.) to really learn classes.
Truly gifted individuals can learn object-oriented programming w/o too
much help, but they'd first have a firm grip on programming. I'd expect
the average, novice programmer to need a good amount of help learning
understanding objecte-oriented programming ... like that attained from a
University, a good High School, or a lot of independent study and time
experimenting with code.
That said ...
You weren't completely missing the boat with your analogy of a class to a
variable, but in the same breath, that idea is totally missing the boat (I
can see from where you're coming, and to where you're headed). Classes
are an IDEA. They're not actually anything. They're the definition of
private and public data members and methods that should make up an object.
When a class is instantiated, an object is created with the defined data
members and methods available. You can then use the objects' methods to
set, get, alter, or otherwise interact with its data members, or to simply
perform a set of related operations. Insert a couple semesters of theory
here. That's my feeble attempt to explain classes. It's abstract, I
know, and possibly not a help at all. But it's because of the paragraph
above this one.
Let's look at some petty code:
class chair{
// DATA
var num_legs;
var color;
var num_arms;
// METHODS
function chair( $legs = 3, $arms = 0 ){ //CONSTRUCTOR
$this-num_legs = $legs;
$this-num_arms = $arms;
}
function setLegs( $legs ){
$this-num_legs = $legs;
return;
}
function getLegs( ){
return $this-num_legs;
}
// ... *clip* ...
}
Above is the [incomplete] definition of a chair class. As you can see,
the class is useless. But you can instantiate the class, and create a
useable object ... you can now create a chair.
$myChair = new chair( 4, 2 );
Now I have a chair [object] with 4 legs and 2 arms, called $myChair.
Let's have the chair tell us how many legs it has ...
$numLegsOnMyChair = $myChair-getLegs();
print( My Chair has $numLegsOnMyChair legs. );
Lets change how many legs the chair has ...
$myChair-setLegs( 7 ); // very odd, seven-legged chair
We should have a chair with 7 legs now, instead of 4.

[PHP] gnupg, running php as a cgi script
I am trying to use php and gnupg on my virtual host to send user input to myself in encryptd form. The problem I am having is that I have installed gnupg in my user account and it is functional, but the keyring and keys that I have generated are under my user name for the account. Php runs under the user name nobody and does not have access to the keys for encryption. I have spoken to a tech at the company who said that I would not be allowed to install keys under nobody. I'm not quite sure I believe this. Anyway, as a way to get around this, I have tried to run the php script as cgi, by putting the script into the cgi-bin in my user directory. This way the scripts should run as my username. Here is the script: #!/usr/local/bin/php $filename = /home/gildedpg/public_html/mydata.txt; $newfile = fopen($filename, w+) or die(Couldn't create file.); fclose($newfile); $msg = pFile created!/p; html head title/title /head body ? echo $msg; ? /body /html This is the error I get: CGIwrap Error: System Error: execv() failed Error: No such file or directory (2) If anyone could tell me why this script will not run, or better yet, make any suggestions to make this process workwithout using cgi, I would appreciate it.

Re: [PHP] Creating $key, $value pairs
OK, I took a stab at this using your post for input and it should be a
good enough starting point for you ... if you do have extraneous ':'s
elsewhere in the message then you'll need to be a little more picky with
your regex stuff to only pick out what you want -- for example, your
post has a couple of sentences that end with ':' before an example ...
the script as written picks those up as key value pairs, but since
you'll unlikely have those in your order messages I figure you're on
safe ground for now --
Of course the really easy way to do this is just to process the form
output directly then you have your key/values nice and neat in
$HTTP_POST_VARS already:) ... but I'm assuming this is on and processed
by a separate server, or with a canned script that only gens emails, so
this is what you need to do.
Here's the code:
#!/usr/bin/php4 -q
?
// OK, I assume you use this as a filter, so we're reading from
// php://stdin --
$fp = fopen(php://stdin,r);
// Initialize a counter for the order items
$itemcnt=0;
while(!feof($fp)) {
$buffer = fgets($fp,8192);
// Simple regex effectively 'splitting' on colon(:) with capture
if(preg_match('/([^:]+):\t*(.*)/',$buffer,$matches)) {
// strip out spaces and /'s in the variable name
$matches[1] = preg_replace(/[ \/\]/,,$matches[1]);
// create an entry for it in $billinginfo array
$billinginfo[$matches[1]] = $matches[2];
}
// Regex to match order items (INCOMPLETE!!!) only matches order
// number and quantity so far -- Hey I had to leave something for you
// to do:)
if(preg_match('/([0-9]+x[0-9.]+)\s+([0-9]+).*/',$buffer,$orderitem)) {
// since we don't have field ids in the matches, we create our own
$order[$itemcnt][Itemnum] = $orderitem[1];
$order[$itemcnt++][Quantity] = $orderitem[2];
}
}
fclose($fp);
// just for testing, dump the arrays --
while(list($key,$val) = each($billinginfo)) {
echo $key - $val \n;
}
echo ORDER HERE!!!\n;
for($x=0; $x$itemcnt; $x++) {
echo Item: $x \n;
while(list($k,$v) = each($order[$x])) {
echo $k - $v \n;
}
echo \n;
}

To call it from a cron job add the following to your crontab: 0 8 * * * /usr/bin/lynx -dump http://localhost/page.php /path/to/logfile/or/dev/null Of course this means your script is in your public web space, so theoretically could be called by anyone who knew the name of the page.

If you have PHP installed as a CGI then you could also write your page as a shell script.

[PHP] Installing PHP 4 on a RAQ3
Hi, As I have only ever worked on a Windows platform, installing PHP MySQL on a RAQ3 is completely alien to me. I attempted to install the binaries by following instructions I dug up somewhere, and it all went badly wrong :o( I have since had the RAQ reset so I could start again. This time round I installed the RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.23.37-1.pkg from cobalt, this went on OK, but now I need to install PHP. As there is no .pkg for the RAQ3, I have been advised that I do need to install the binaries for PHP 4. Do I need to give a path for the --with mysql option, and if so where does the .pkg install MySQL? Any idiot proof step by step instructions will be greatly appreciated, along with which is the best/most stable version of PHP 4?, and where is best to install it?

RE: [PHP] Redirect upon execution of script...
I think I really don't understand what do you want... hehehe :)
which is fine!
but take that code I sent ya... now I'll explain the functions... then tell
me if I'm right:
function ShowHeader
{
?
html
titleSomething/title
body
?
}
function ShowFooter()
{
?
/body
/html
?
}
function ShowForm()
{
global $SCRIPT_NAME:
?
form ... bla bla bla action=?=$SCRIPT_NAME?
input type=hidden name=action value=process-form
?
}
function ProcessForm()
{
if( !ValidateFormFields() )
return false;
else
{
if( !ExecuteDBInsert() )
return false;
else
return true;
}
}
wouldn't that work?
there's no $done variable here... the return of the function is all you
need... if it's true redirect, if not display error...

Hmm...either i don´t really get what you mean, or you missed the problem.
This is the situation:
I have a form which results is to be inserted in a db. When the form is
submitted the page calls itself and does a db INSERT based on if a couple of
statements is true - otherwise it displays a proper error message.
So far everything is fine and is working like a charm.
But:
I want a redirection after a successfull db INSERT. After the INSERT is made
(which is what the page is for) i set a variable, $done, to 1.
Right now i only use $done to display a message at the bottom of the screen
saying that the INSERT worked. But i want the page to redirect itself as
soon as $done is set to 1.
The problem i have is: I can only send headers (wich i use for redirection -
right??) at the top of the page - before all the other code. But since $done
is set far down in the code, after my form and db-statements, the header
will never know when to be sent.
Is there a way of calling a headerfunction in the top of the page?

Subject: RE: [PHP] Redirect upon execution of script...
sorry if I'm not understanding correctly your problem... but it
seems quite
simple to me...
I've created like 10.000 php forms that does that... I don't see a prob...
what do you want to do?
process a form:
if something's wrong, print error message and go back
if everything is fine go to another page... that's it?
well... database inserts has nothing to do with headers...
you can easily do something like
?php
switch ($action)
{
case process-form:if( ProcessForm() )
header(Location:
next-page.php);
else
{
ShowHeader(); // function to
display all the HTML you want
printErrMessage();
ShowFooter();
}
break;
default:ShowForm();
break;
}
?
where ProcessForm returns true or false depending on the DB operation...
of course there cannot be any output before the switch?
did it help?

Before this a whole bunch of processing has been done, either:
A username/login has been entered and checked and a checkval generated and
stored
or
A cookie has been read and its value checked in the database
If everything is OK, then $REaderOK is set true (1). No output has been
sent to the browser
Now this is encountered ...
if( $ReaderOK == 1 )
{
//header(Location:
$PHP_SELF?member_id=$member_idcLangCode=$cLangCodeReaderOK=$ReaderOK\n);
header(Location:
$origin?member_id=$member_idcLangCode=$cLangCodeReaderOK=$ReaderOK\n);
}
else
{
include(user_logon_title.inc);
echo a href = \$PHP_SELF?cLangCode=$cLangCode\ .
$ErrorAndReturnMsg ./a /center;
}
This is just about the end of all the logic stuff, and now the display
portion of the page runs.
Note that in the else part of the code fragment, that the normal part of
the display code is never reached because the page
is calling itself with with an error message to the user. If everything is
ok, the user is sent back to the page ($origin) which called the logon
script. That value was set thusly:
? session_start();
session_register( origin );
$origin=$PHP_SELF;
.
. //after some checking if the user is not logged on the logon script is
called here

RE: [PHP] Safely Storing Delivering PDFs
If you have access to the Apache server why not set up auth-mysql as the authentication method? It checks for authentication login/password pairs out of MySQL. mark C. -Original Message- From: Miles Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sebastian, I believe I have to do what you do, but from your cryptic msg I've not been able to figure it out. We have a subscription site, and if a subscriber wants a PDF, the link which requests it checks for a session cookie. If it's not set the user is directed to a logon script which checks username/password against a database and sets the session cookie if everything is OK. It automatically redirects to the calling script, and because the session id is now present the PDF can be accessed. To my horror, I discovered on Friday that if I just type in the URL with the name of the PDF it's delivered with no checking at all. I have to move them to a safe place, either outside the web tree or to a directory protected by htaccess. This is where I'm stuck. If I use .htaccess, I don't want to maintain a separate .htaccess file in addition to the subscriber table in the database. Can I set have my logon script set an Apache variable that will give access to the protected directory which store the PDf's? Or do they have to be passed? If so how? Would that mean that I'd need only one or a few username/password pairs in htaccess? or Is htaccess (or Apache's security) somehow satisfied by setting the variables?

Re: [PHP] Creating $key, $value pairs
OK, probably the easiest thing to do would be to add some kind of state
functionality to the loop and use different logic/regex stuff based on
where in the process you are ... first test each line for '/^SHIP TO/',
'/^BILL TO/' or /^ORDER NO./ ... that could set your 'state' for the
script, then you can process each line properly (and it would get around
the ':' in an order line problem as you wouldn't execute on that basis
... in my head anyway that would make the main loop into a case
construct:
switch($stateofscript) {
case SHIP:
$shippinginfo[$matches[1]] = $matches[2];
break;
case BILL:
$billinginfo[$matches[1]] = $matches[2];
break;
case ORDER:
// split your order lines
break;
default;
// must not have hit the SHIPPING INFO yet so do nothing
}
The other thing you'll need to fix is that you have the generic
'address' tag for 3 different lines in both shipping and billing ... so
the logic will need to include a if(isset($shippinginfo[$matches[1]]))
thing to prepend or postfix an integer or something onto the index to
keep the lines straight.
I'd say you're getting there though.

Yeap, I noticed that as soon as I ran the first (full) email through it. And of
course, there're some problems. The incoming email has two sections in it which
will contain the same variables. What I posted only contained a 'BILL TO:' section.
The full email also contains a 'SHIP TO:' section. But because the script creates
variables based on the fields in the email, it overwrites the first section:
SHIP TO:
Business Name:
Contact Name: PhotoCraft
Day Number: 303.442.6410
Evening Number:
Fax Number:
Address: 3550 Arapahoe Ave
Address: Suite 6

Fax Number:

Address:

City: Boulder
State/Province: CO
Zip/Postal Code: 80303

This is part of why I asked whether it was possible to use my own variable
naming, so I could end up with one of:
$ShipToContact$BillToContact
$ShipToDayPhone $BillToDayPhone
$ShipToEvePhone $BillToEvePhone
or:
$ShipTo['contact']$BillTo['contact']
$ShipTo['DayPhone'] $BillTo['dayphone']
$ShipTo['EvePhone'] $BillTo['evephone']
And then there's still the order items themselves. Right now, the script is
cutting the lines because of the : matching. So, a line like this (wrapping alert):
ORDER NO. QTY UNIT DESCRIPTION
PRICE TOTAL
4x6 1 4x6 Standard Print (full-frame from 35mm) Image:Uploaded Image 1
.75$0.75
...will end up:
$key: 4x614x6StandardPrint(full-framefrom35mm)Image
$val: 'Uploaded Image 1 .75 $0.75'
ORDER HERE:
Item: 0
Itemnum - 4x6
Quantity - 1
Not quite what it should be. I think I'm going to limit where it should do the
$key - $value matching, and figure something else out for the rest of the message.
the
whole thing would be a lot easier in the last one if they actually tab
delimit the fields, then a simple split() call would handle it nicely
but what you posted was spaces.
Yeah, the original incoming email is a mess really. No tab delimited anything,
and some of the fields have extraneous spaces after each value, some just have a row
of spaces (if the value's blank), some 80 characters long.

[PHP] User access rights..
Hello, I have a machine which is running Php4 on Apache 1.3 And I want to make a hosting site that the users can register themselves online. They will have a home directory and so they will be able to put their web files (html, php, images etc.) under there. I want to keep their information on Mysql. That is, if possible I don't want to create real system accounts. I'll do all this work (create user, its home etc) with PHP. There is no problem at this point. The problem is... using PHP, they can open any file that is readable to nobody account (Apache user).. So it can read and even edit other users' files.. Consquently, the users should be able to access only and only their home directories. How can I do this? Thanks in advance..

Long answer; if users have shell accounts, there is no way you can do what you're trying to do. If you limit users to FTP access and PHP *only* (i.e. no telnet, ssh, custom CGI, Perl or other languages that can access the file system) then you can use PHP safe mode to at least protect PHP.

Re: [PHP] User access rights..
I should explain a bit more in detail.. Actually, the users can have php files. And these php files can access other users' stuff. And consider they are real users, then how will i tell Apache server to run as the user owning the file? Is it impossible for a real solution?

BTW, there are *lots* of ISPs offering shell access (and web accounts) out there where this is an issue ... the entire /home tree is 0755 permed and user a can read/execute user b's stuff. even a 0750 doesn't fix it most of the time as the users share a common group ...

RE: [PHP] EXAMPLE: Redirect upon execution of script...

For those of you that have any confusion on this issue, pay very close
attention to this script. It effectivly demonstrates how to deal with a

your browsers back button... crap.
Have a hidden field in your form - ACTION=SAVE
This will tell your script when to look for input.
Write your script like this
?
//Make sure your ID is of int type.
//If ID 0 then you are in UPDATE mode. if ID == 0 then you are in INSERT
MODE
$ID = intval($ID);
//The main reason that I use a switch instead of an IF is that you can
break out at any time.
switch($ACTION) case 'SAVE':
{
//Validate all fields here
if(empty($field1)) $oErr-field1 = 'Required';
if(empty($field2)) $oErr-field2 = 'Required';
//If the variable $oErr is set, then break
if(isset($oErr)) break;
//We are okay, add slashes to all fields...
$field1 = addslashes($field1);
$field2 = addslashes($field2);
if($ID)
{ //UPDATE MODE
$sQuery = UPDATE table SET field1='field1',
field2='field2 WHERE id=$ID;

2. User fills in a form, clicks submit which calls the same script,

The second scenario is easier to handle.
Call the same script, passing it $done, and depending on whether or not
$done is set you redirect.
Juli Meloni has done an excellent tutorial on just this at
http://www.thickbook.com. look in the tutorials for something like Form
With Error Message. You just have to adapt the logic to suit your needs.
The second scenario is correct. I am actually already using the method in
Melonis tutorial for error messages. But i can´t do a redirection that way
since $done isn´t set until after the db INSERT. My if-statement for the
header is at the top of the page (wich is the only place i can put it) and
will never know if $done is set or not below.

[PHP] ZIP Files?
Hi people, I´m looking for alternatives in using zip files. Our users should upload into our server zipped files and we need to unzip this files and process it. I have read there is a library that could be used like an extension, but I´ve tried to use it from NT and don´t seems like the extension was added and when I try to use the commands PHP says that don´t recognoice the commands. In the other hand somebody has told me that PHP must be recompiled for using this library. Our platform is Windows NT but in the future could be Solaris. Anybody could send me your experience? Thanks in advance.

[PHP] Pulling information out of a MySQL database
Hi, I'm having some new troubles pulling information out of a MySQL database. The page I'm currently working on has a simple form, that asks the user to select a month and year from two dropdown menu's then forwards their choices on to a new page which displays community events for the chosen month and year. This all works great. However, this new page that displays the community events along with their date allows the user to click on the name of the event for a more detailed list (location, time, description, etc) - this is the part that isn't working. The problem seems to be that the script forgets the previously chosen month and year when it goes to display the event in greater detail. How can I get the script to remember the month and year so it will display the proper information? My immediate thought is a cookie, but I have no idea how to do this ... can anyone offer any other suggestions, or if a cookie is the way to go - can someone point me in the right direction?

RE: [PHP] GD, PNG
thats right just untar somewhere, when you do the make install it should create the directory /usr/local/freetype2 for you, it is a bit of a strange one they also made it to use jam which is another make file system, I don't know whats wrong with the old ./configure, make, make install at least it is a standard :) Good luck with the install.

Re: [PHP] Pulling information out of a MySQL database
Hi again,
Ok, I've heard some suggestions to my problem ... but I'm not entirely
certain how to incorporate them, perhaps taking a look at the code would be
helpful.
Again, the problem I'm having is as follows. I have a simple form in which
the user selects a month and year from two drop down menu's - based on
their choice, the following PHP script searches a MySQL database and
displays a basic listing (event name and date) for the selected
month. Then the user has the option to click an event name and receive a
more detailed listing of the event - this is the portion that isn't working.
It seems that the script is forgetting the values entered by the user - I
have come to this conclusion as when I replaced .$month. and .$year.
with an actual month and year ie. 'November' and '2001' respectively, the
detailed display works perfectly.
How can I get both the basic and detailed event listings working at the
same time?
Thanks

If id is unique, you can change the first sql from:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(EventStartDate, '%W %M %D %Y')
AS FormattedEventStartDate, DATE_FORMAT(EventEndDate, '%W %M %D %Y') AS
FormattedEventEndDate, TIME_FORMAT(EventStartTime, '%r') AS

FormattedEventEndTime FROM comcal WHERE id=$id and EventMonth='.$month.'

to:
$result = mysql_query(SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(EventStartDate, '%W %M %D %Y')
AS FormattedEventStartDate, DATE_FORMAT(EventEndDate, '%W %M %D %Y') AS
FormattedEventEndDate, TIME_FORMAT(EventStartTime, '%r') AS
FormattedEventStartTime, TIME_FORMAT(EventEndTime, '%r') AS
FormattedEventEndTime FROM comcal WHERE id=$id,$db);
in other words: remove the month and year from the where clause
