Re: [PHP] How to resolve IP with PHP

[gaouzief]

hi,

i think there is a function that does just that
look for gethostbyaddr($ip) in the documentation
beware of the implication on the ressources , this function performs a reverse dns 
lookup which can be time consuming

[PHP] Re: php login scripts

[LaserJetter]

Depending on how secure the login information needs to be, you could just
store it in a text file, maybe using password() to encrypt passwords. You
could then access it using fopen() and save the contents of the file in an
array.

I'm not too hot on login and authentication though myself! I did get it
working, there was a useful example in the PHP manual.

I don't see any significant options here.

Yes. It's supposed to work, but could you try without register_globals?
If it works without register_globals, submit bug report.

Hi,

i am fiddling with a script and need to change a while-loop from
running on
mysql_fetch_array to a "normal" array?

ie - i have:
while($myrow=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { etc...

But i want the loop to run with an array i created earlier
($anotherarray =
[key1] => value1, [key2] => value2).

How would i do that? Does the loop behave the same way - running
until the
array is out of data?

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] best way to approach dates

[DL Neil]

Gidday Justin,

For us guys that don't get dates very often, the subject is one of intense 
fascination! I answered a bunch of
these questions a couple of weeks back, and reproduce that discussion below. Also some 
comments/responses to you
interspersed:-

> I'm looking to normalise the way in which I work with dates and times,
> hopefully saving myself some time and effort along the way.
>
> Currently, for, say, a news post, i'm using a MySQL DATE column
> (-MM-DD), but since this isn't all that good (visually) for use on a
> site, I find myself converting it back out to something like DD-MM-YY or
> DD-MM for use on the site.  Not exactly hard, but it's gotta be done
> every time.

=to ease the effort of repeated activities employ/implement a function (as you say, 
saves time). Fortunately PHP
and SQL/MySQL provide us with plenty, out of the box.

> Now I find myself wanting to sort things by date (where the ID might be
> in the wrong order... so 2001-12-25 is listed before 2001-12-26, etc),
> and more importantly, comparing two dates (3 days away, 3 days ago, 3
> hours ago, etc etc).

=the reason many people find ISO-format dates confusing is simply that they've grown 
up with something else
(presumably in your case dd/mm/yy). If you sit down and think about the sequence of 
data, running from the
largest unit to the smallest, consistently, you will see that it makes good sense. 
These have been adopted as
local/national standards in various places, eg the EU, but we still don't see them too 
much - guess we're still
smarting from KM vs miles and KG vs pounds-weight (I'm still paying off the bill for 
that 1KM of sausages I
ordered...)

=the reason it makes good sense in a computer is because it will fulfil basic 
functions in both use of a date:
(1) to document some date/time, and (2) to be used in basic computations. The best 
example I can think of is a
logging function, eg OpSys tools and Apache. Take a look at the native output any of 
these and you'll see ISO
dates left, right, and center. Other date formats will fulfill one or other of these 
functions, but will not
compromise between both so well.

=if you want to sort an ISO date column, go ahead and do it. ISO dates can be 
compared, just as they are:

2001-12-25 < 2001-12-26 = true
thus Christmas Day came before Boxing Day, last year (and most other years...)

=This also applies to ISO dates expressed as an integer

20011225 < 20011226 = true

=If you want to perform calculations on ISO-dates then check out the date functions 
section in the MySQL manual
for DATE_ADD, DATE_DIFF, etc. They will achieve your comparisons, adjustments by 
period of time (days), etc.

=In the same way, PHP has a rich set of date calculation functions, also well covered 
in their manual. However
these are complementary and deal in the PHP prefered date formats.

=Sadly, there is no substitute for hitting the books (see advice on this below).

>
> Also, I've noticed there is a timestamp column type in MySQL... is there

> timestamp (or date) for me?

=see comments below about selecting the date format to suit the usage/purpose intended 
(if you don't want to
spend all day converting back and forth - spending time, re-making time?).

=There is no ONE right answer - that's why we've been given choices. BEWARE of the 
word "timestamp" in that a
UNIX timestamp is not the same thing as a MySQL timestamp!

> Any other suggestions on a sensible method of implementing dates & times
> accross many sites and many bits of code?

=here they come... one of your respondents talked about doing subtraction on ISO 
dates. This will not work - the
discussion (below) started off with this question "why doesn't it work?":-


RE: [PHP] counting with dates (help!)

> $today = date("Ymd", mktime(0,0,0, date(m),date(d),date(Y)));
> $last_week = date("Ymd", mktime(0,0,0, date(m),date(d)-7,date(Y)));
> echo ($today - $last_week);
> The result is a number like 8876 (20020107-20011231 = 8876)
> But in date thinking it should be 7!
No, that's the difference in time represented by the number of seconds.
You still need to work with it a little more.
8876 / 60 = number of hours  /* 60 = number of seconds in an hour */
8876 / 60 / 24 = number of days.  /* 24 = number of hours in a day */

=I'm sorry but neither the above, nor the suggestion of Julian dates was correct (in 
all cases). The two numbers
($today and $last_week) generated in the PHP code above are in CCYYMMDD format (as 
used by MySQL to store dates,
BTW).

=So you are correct (Sander):
20020107 less
20011231 equals
8876

=but this number is meaningless. If the formulae proposed above are applied, the 
answer is not 7 days.

=Similarly (Julian dates = CCYYDDD format)
2002007 less
2001365 equals
642

Re: [PHP] File Uploading

[J.F.Kishor]

hi,
 
Solutions for your question is given in the PHP manual, and here's
a part from the manual.
 
Hope this would solve you problem.  
 
 Example 1. File Upload Form
 ---
 
 
 
 
 Send this file: 
 
 
 
 
 The _URL_ should point to a PHP file. The MAX_FILE_SIZE hidden field must
 precede the file input field and its value is the maximum filesize
 accepted. The value is in bytes. In this destination file, the following
 variables will be defined upon a successful upload:
 
  * $userfile - The temporary filename in which the uploaded file was
stored on the server machine.
  * $userfile_name - The original name of the file on the sender's
system.
  * $userfile_size - The size of the uploaded file in bytes.
  * $userfile_type - The mime type of the file if the browser provided
this information. An example would be "image/gif".
 
 Example 2. Uploading multiple forms
 --
 
 
   Send these files:
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
 
   When the above form is submitted, the arrays $userfile,
   $userfile_name, and $userfile_size will be formed in the global scope
   (as well as in $HTTP_POST_VARS). Each of these will be a numerically
   indexed array of the appropriate values for the submitted files.
 
   For instance, assume that the filenames /home/test/review.html and
   /home/test/xwp.out are submitted. In this case, $userfile_name[0]
   would contain the value review.html, and $userfile_name[1] would
   contain the value xwp.out. Similarly, $userfile_size[0] would contain
   review.html's filesize, and so forth.
   
 
 cheers,
 
 kishor

[PHP] How to call Calling Non-Existing function

[S. Murali Krishna]

Hi PHP Experts,

Is there any way to call a non-existent or undeclared function
and redirect the call to someother function by knowing its non-existense.

Is there any try() and catch() idea or any configurations,
or may be either error handler like thing.

for example if I call a function 'Draw_Table()' without declaring like
this

Draw_Table();

it should know the non-existense of Draw_Table() and redirect to 
'default_func'

function default_func()
{

}

Note:

Perl  programmers please recollect 'AUTOLOAD' Method of a package.
C++,Java  programmers please recollect exception handling.


Thanks in Advance.

Hi!
Using the method to build a html-page from png s you can in a way make it
inconviniant for the user
to reuse the html-code.
The problem is that the textquality is not very good and my host doesn´t
have support for gif with fontfiles.

I wonder if there is any other way to put text on your page, something like:
$string = include ("textmaker.php3?text=testword");

I am trying to build blanks for use as a memberservice and want it difficult
to reuse my code.
Any tips?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I'm looking to normalise the way in which I work with dates and times,
hopefully saving myself some time and effort along the way.

Currently, for, say, a news post, i'm using a MySQL DATE column
(-MM-DD),

Re: [PHP] How to call Calling Non-Existing function

[val petruchek]

Not sure this is exactly what you need but try this:

@Draw_Table() or default_func();

[PHP] Can't include for higher level directory in php4.1.1

[Khairil Yusof]

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I haven't followed the development
of 4.1.

All my previous code.. I've been able to do this:

/index.php
/general
/content
/content/index.php

where under content I could include images from a higher level directory
like this in content/index.php:

include("../general/something.php");
or
include("/general/something.php");

I assume that this in php.ini, but the includes line looks the same. How can
continue to have the same behaviour as in 4.0.6 where I could include from
other directories above the current one.

If it's documented.. a pointer to the doc would be fine.

A polite suggestion, please refrain from posting such a large chunk of the 
manual! After all the manual is freely available online and is downloadable 
in various formats for offline viewing. And as people have commented before, 
the PHP manual *really* is a rather fine manual. This list should not be used 
as a substitute for the manual :)

[PHP] News story with image - help

[Will Hives]

I guess you must all be getting very bored with this type of question..but
away.. I have recently put together a simple news section which allows admin
people to add, edit and delete stories from the site...I would like to add
the function of adding an image to a story...I have managed to use the
upload image script ok but can't work out how to link the image to the story
ID.

Is there any examples or does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for reading this.

Cheers

[PHP] Integer in PHP

[Jerry]

Hi,

I'm new in PHP, coming from JavaScript.
In JavaScript you had the function parseInt which was really useful.
For example parseInt("2.05") will return 2...

How can I do that in PHP ?

Thanks.

The general procedure for dealing with uploaded files is:

1) Uploaded file is saved in a temp directory (defined in php.ini) under a 
temp name.

2) Get the temp name and the actual name (see manual).

3) Move the temp file to its final destination.


The final destination directory must be writable by the 'user' running the 
webserver.

When you say link it, what would be the purpose? If you have many
stories and many pictures that's one thing but if it's not so many then
that is another.
Presuming your id's are the keys to the database then perhaps you could
re-name the image to include that key? (I have no idea off hand how to
do this but I'm sure it's relatively simple)

Sorry when I say link I mean that the story has an image with it so when the
story header is clicked it shows the full story with imagedoes that make
any sense?

Well, the way I've done it is to make the image URL a field in the story
database. Very simple and effective. (have scarf+coat on back in ½hr)

Just FYI. I posted the forwarded question earlier, but did some more
testing.

I was doing some testing tonight when server traffic was low (ie: stop /

restart Apache) and I found out that when register_globals is On, the
below 
code doesn't work. Is this something to do with the EGPCS  and how
variables 
are inherited? When register_globals is off, the code works great. Could

someone explain why that is? That'd be great :)

I would have thought that you can still access the HTTP_SESSION_VARS
even if 
globals is on?

Thanks.

[PHP] on-line athletic training log

[Brian V Bonini]

I need to build an on-line training log where a coach
can enter training routines for specific athletes and
atheltes can retrieve their training and log their
daily results.

Has anyone ever done/started a project along these line?
Has anyone seen somethign like this done in PHP?
Has anyone seen something similar that could
be hacked up and altered to suit my needs?

Just figured I'd ask around before I do this from scratch
and "re-invent the wheel"...

[PHP] Storing objects in sessions-vars in PHP 4.03pl1

[Stefan Rusterholz]

Hi

I'm currently trying to get a script to work under PHP4.03pl1 which was originally 
programmed in PHP 4.06
In that script I store an object in a session-var. This works fine in 4.06 but under 
4.03 it seems as if the object got lost (note that every other data stored in the same 
session-var is still intact, so it's not just a wrong loaded session var).
My Question is now: is it possible that PHP 4.03pl1 was NOT able to store an object in 
a session var?

Best regards and TIA
Stefan Rusterholz

[PHP] RE: recursive

[Tim Ward]

I'm not quite sure what you're having difficulty with, but this is, in
principle, like mapping a file system structure ...
which I do like this:

function sitemap($path)
{   if ($dhandle = opendir($path))
{   echo("");
while ($file_name = readdir($dhandle))
{   if ($file_name == "." or $file_name == "..")
continue;
echo("$file_name");
if (is_dir("$path$file_name"))
sitemap("$path$file_name/");
}
closedir($dhandle);
echo("");
}
} // end of fn sitemap

this shows the general principle, if you're already getting the top level
okay you should be able to use this sort of thing to get the rest

Check hotscripts, google, etc. Check phpauction - there is a remarkable

[PHP] How should I cache database data for php?

Hello,

I have a PHP content management application that I've developed.  I'm
looking to add data caching to it so the database doesn't get pounded
all day long, the content on the site changes slowly, once or twice a
day.

Does anyone know of where I can look to find an application that does
this?  I've searched and have yet to find anything that does the same
kind of thing.  I'll take anything, a module or library that does it, or
even some other application that does the same thing that I can look at.

Ideally I think it would be cool if it would be a PEAR module that the
application connects to just like the database, and it manages chaches
and querying the database for data in the module.

On that basis caching may not be ideal, certainly not a 'home grown'
solution and especially if the db is really going to take a 'pounding'
all day.

I think Zend do something that you should look at.

[PHP] Re: password=password('$password') <----- ? help me... :P

[Robert V. Zwink]

Try this:

 $query = "SELECT username,password FROM users WHERE
username=\"".$username."\"
AND
password=\"".password($password)."\"";

MySQL needs all string data wrapped in quotes.  Maybe the backslashes are a
bit confusing at first, but its worth taking the time to understand them.

Forget that last post - sorry!!!

Instead of using password('$password') in the query string, I would insert a
line before connecting to the DB:

$newpass = password($password)<-- dont need quotes round here

then

$query = "SELECT username,password FROM users WHERE username=$username AND
password=$newpass";

As $username and $newpass are already inside double quotes you dont need to
put them in again!!

Subject: [PHP] agh - what am I doing wrong - regular expressions 


Good morning everyone, 

I'm trying to adapt existing php code that uses a while loop to scan
content 
for a url pattern, take the matches and add link tags () around them
so 
the url with be made into "hot links. Simple enough right? Nevertheless,
I 
seem to be having trouble with urls that have question marks in them. 

Here is the existing code that works - except with question marks: 

 

$content = " http://www.globalhealth.org/text.php3?id=151
  
adjfladjfajdfkladfjl;kadjf 
jlkadjflkajdflkj jadklfjalkdjfl;df jalkdfj;ldafj"; 

$pattern = " http://(  [\/~_\.0-9A-Za-z#&=-]+)"; 

while(ereg($pattern, $content, $match)){ 
$http_old = $match[0];  
$http = "dubdubdub" . $match[1] . $match[2]; 
$url = "$http";

$content = ereg_replace($http_old, $url, $content); 
}; 

$content = ereg_replace("dubdubdub", " http://  ", $content); 

print $content; 

** 

Here's the same code with the question mark in the pattern variable.
When I 
add the question mark and test the page, my browsers just "hang".
Escaping 
the question mark doesn't seem to help (and I also read that escapes
aren't 
necessary between square brackets]: 

$content = " http://www.globalhealth.org/text.php3?id=151
  
adjfladjfajdfkladfjl;kadjf 
jlkadjflkajdflkj jadklfjalkdjfl;df jalkdfj;ldafj"; 

$pattern = " http://(  [\/~_\.0-9A-Za-z#&=?-]+)"; 

while(ereg($pattern, $content, $match)){ 
$http_old = $match[0];  
$http = "dubdubdub" . $match[1] . $match[2]; 
$url = "$http";

$content = ereg_replace($http_old, $url, $content); 
}; 

$content = ereg_replace("dubdubdub", " http://  ", $content); 

print $content; 


* 

In an attempt to find the problem, I did a test with the following code
and 
received the result I want - which leads me to believe the problem is 
possibly with the while loop or the ereg_replace?? 

$content = " http://www.globalhealth.org/text.php3?id=151
  
adjfladjfajdfkladfjl;kadjf 
jlkadjflkajdflkj jadklfjalkdjfl;df jalkdfj;ldafj"; 

$pattern = " http://(  [/~_.0-9A-Za-z#&=?-]+)"; 

ereg($pattern, $content, $match); 

print "$match[0]"; 

** 

I'm completely confused. I have a feeling there is any easy answer and
if I 
wasn't so frustrated I'd be embarrassed to say that I've spent hours on 
this... 

Thanks in advance for your help, Shawna

[PHP] PHP vs Java reliability

[Geoff Caplan]

Hi folks

Just putting together a brochure for a product authored in PHP, and making
the case for LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) as a platform, in a market where
most competitors are Java based.

I recently spoke to a very experienced sysadmin at an ISP who said they
always recommend LAMP over Java because even after extensive tuning they had
never got their Java servelet/bean platform as reliable as their PHP and
Perl setups on both shared and dedicated servers.

Has anyone else on the list got experience of this? Is PHP notably more
reliable than Java in production situations?

The

running a php 4.1, SunOS 5.7, Apache, and sendmail which is required for the
mail() function if I'm right?

 

Thanks

So what happens when you run it?

How so? the whole idea of caching the data is so the database stops
taking the pounding.

APC (Alternitive PHP Cache) and afaik Zend Cache don't cache the
database data, they cache the execution instructions of PHP code so the
PHP intrepreter doesn't have to recompile the code every time, but if
there is a query it still queries the DB every time.  I've experienced
this first hand with APC.  At first I thought it would cache the entire
PHP output, which would include the data, not just the execution
instructions.  But I was wrong.

It simply prints out "Didn't work" or fails the if statement, no
errormsg or nothing, the page executes fine but the mail function is the
enly thing that fails to execute.

Re: [PHP] PHP-JavaScript

[Richard Crawford]

Unfortunately, that won't work if the value of the JS variable needs to 
change dynamically based on user interaction; document.write() only 
works as the page is loaded (well... MSIE might be different, but 
writing MSIE-only code is a bad practice).

The best bet is to use an input field; input fields can change 
dynamically, and the value can be captured using JS's DOM.

But there is absolutely no way around the fact that to send a JS 
variable to a PHP script, you must send that variable back to the server 
via POST or GET.

Well, if you're caching but having your content updated twice a day
wouldn't you be better off letting the db take the strain? I don't see
how else you are going to make sure people are seeing the latest content
as opposed to cached pages that are out of date. Let your db do the
work, that's what it's for :)

One of the 'home grown' solutions I saw was to 404 page to trigger the
creation of a static html page made from the results of the first query
on the db. The problems I saw though were: What about browser compat
issues and what a pain that would be to have to wipe the 'cached' static
dir every time you updated your content.
It seemed well suited to articles that wouldn't alter much over time
though. (I think the piece was on www.devshed.com)

In that case I reckon you need to start scouring that php.ini and find
the bit that gives the Sendmail path. As far as I remember php counts it
a success when it delivers the instructions to Sendmail regardless of
what SM does with it. So. I don't think you're reaching SM and
that's why it's failing.

HTH.

But at 300,000 page views a day, even if the caches only have a ttl of 1
hour I'm still saving over %90 of the traffic from having to query the
database.

During our busy times I have a bottle neck with the database maxing out
the CPU's, so If I can cut the queries the server won't be working as
hard, plus file I/O is faster than Database I/O so the site will be
faster even when it's not busy.

OK I'll look into it,those are the kind of ideas I'm looking for,
eventhough I agree, that one doesn't sound like much fun.  and I'm not
worried about ppl getting errors, I'm worried about them getting the
page fast. now it can be slow, but no errors.

As form the discussion i understand that you have several pages with huge
views during a day. Also it seemes to me thÕ queries they produce are the
same. There is a way to avoid big traffic between php <-> mysql.

The way of doing this is to store page generated dynamically with a db query
and replace php-script with saved page. You generate content dynamically,
but for yourself only. Users get this page, but as a "static" one. The
easiest way is to do it manually - copy current script to another location,
execute it and save result html to former location. Nothing changes for
user.

The greatest way of doing this is
1. develope php-script for generating updated html from moved php-script
and updating index.html (e.g. ;)
2. develope another script or program which will call the first one
periodically (once an hour, e.g.)

[PHP] Error notification and pretty error page

[Dan McCullough]

How can i include error notification, like if an MySQL error occurs, to notify me of 
the offending
page and what the error was, while having the page die quietly or nicely, like an 
message saying
that the webmaster will be notified please continue?

In that case I reckon you need to start scouring that php.ini and find
the bit that gives the Sendmail path. As far as I remember php counts it
a success when it delivers the instructions to Sendmail regardless of
what SM does with it. So. I don't think you're reaching SM and
that's why it's failing.

HTH.

I like that.
It sounds similar to the method I mentioned.
What about browser detection and appropriate css generation etc?
Wouldn't the output that's saved be a little *too* static?

you can make a generic function to be called when such error occured.
the fucntion will print a nice/default error msg to user and you can
log detail information regarding the error into logfile or DB,
or even send out a notification email to you.

function fatal_error($msg, $file, $line) {
  //$msg : the to be logged
  //$file: name of file which trigger the error
  //$line: line number which trigger the error
}

the usage:

include('');
@mysql_query or fatal_error (mysql_error(), __FILE__, __LINE__);

__FILE__ and __LINE__ are php predefined constant to indicate current
file and line number which is being parsed/executed.

you always have to pass this __FILE__ and __LINE__ because PHP dont
have the ability to "backtrack" from which file/line a function is
called :(

and dont forget to add "@" sign in front of the PHP's function,
to surpress the error msg generated by PHP.

You still can generate css depending on user_agent.

Depends on certain page properties... if current time (with seconds) is
printed there, it will be not 100% real, but in any other case everything
depends on how often second script will update it.

[PHP] .php unrecognizable extension

[Dion]

I am running Apache 1.3 on WindowsXP just for some developement stuff that I
do at home.  I just installed PHP to the server but I can't get it to
recognize .php as an extension and to have it load those as if they were
.html files.  IE index.php it just shows a directory listing instead of
loading the file.  Can someone help me?

You can only check $userfile_type to detect the type of uploaded file. You
can specify nor extension to browse dialog neither default path for

This is a serious FAQ
Try www.php.net (they have the faq there i'm sure)
I'd tell you the answer but I can't remember the part of apache.conf you
need edit.

Good luck.

Re: [PHP] File upload

[JSheble]

you could write a bit of JavaScript to run on the form's onSubmit event or 
even the fields onBlur event.  Then in your JavaScript, parse out the file 
name and extension to validate.  It's not 100% accurate since users could 
rename any file to have a JPG extension, but it works for the majority...

Since reading your first post I've been racking my brains/teasing my memory. I'm sure 
there's an article on one
of the popular PHP sites that talks about exactly this: creating a web page 
dynamically, but serving it as
static HTML (ie with no back-end db access per serving).

Suggest you check out DevShed etc.

[PHP] PHP cross referencer

[DL Neil]

Is anyone aware if such a debugging/documentation tool exists?

What is/do I mean by a "cross referencer"?
A tool which will list all of the variables (and function names ?and include files) 
used within a
program/script, together with the line number(s) where they are mentioned - hopefully 
differentiating where the
value is referenced from where it is updated, etc. Such is handy for debugging, 
picking up upper/lower case
naming inconsistencies, etc.

Please advise,
=dn

Re: [PHP] PHP-JavaScript

[Richard Crawford]

Yes, but only in MSIE.  As far as I know, no other browser supports the 
innerHTML property; at least, I have never managed to get it to work in 
Netscape, Mozilla, Konquerer, or Opera.  And I stand firmly behind my 
earlier statement that developing code that bombs on non-MSIE browsers 
is a bad practice.  This is why I didn't recommend use of the innerHTML 
property.  :)

This idea came to me after September 11 - many news sites were down because
of too many visitors.
Some of them refused from dynamic page generation to survive, because huge
amounts of visitors looked like hacker attack.

In any case this is obvious solution of a problem ;)

Re: [PHP] File upload

[Bogdan Stancescu]

The official way to do this would be using the "accept" attribute:
accept = content-type-list [CI]
This attribute specifies a comma-separated list of content types that a
server processing this form will handle correctly. User agents may use this
information to filter out non-conforming files when prompting a user to
select files to be sent to the server (cf. the INPUT element when
type="file").

For example,


Unfortunately this is usually unreliably implemented in user agents, so you
should find a different solution as suggested by others.

Re: [PHP] How should I cache database data for php?

[Richard Crawford]

Are you sure that cacheing database data is the right way to approach 
the problem?  How about using a cron job to write static HTML pages from 
live data?  You could set up such a system to run every few hours or so. 
  I haven't done that in PHP, but it's something I'm looking at doing 
for a Perl project I'm working on.

It seems to me that the major problem with news sites such as cnn.com or 
msnbc.com on dates like 9/11 was the sheer number of visitors coming to 
the site.  No matter how the pages were served up, the load was 
unbearable for the servers.

[PHP] associative arrays..help!

[Sandeep Murphy]

Hi,

This is a long one so pl bear with me...

I have an XML structure as follows:

001
WORD
  //SUB APPLICATION
002
excel

  
003
PPt



004
ZIP


Where there are sub elements of main elements...

When I print the array contents, they are printed as

Array
(
[0] => DEMO_XML
[1] => XML Output 
[2] => DEMODemo
[3] => DEMO_AUTH
[4] => XML Auth ) and so on whereas I need to make them as

Array(

[0]
[APP]
DEMO XML
[SUB_APP]
 XML OUTPUT

How can I achieve this?? any suggestions please

My for loop reads like this:

 for($y_aux=0; $y_auxappid[] =
$nodes_aux[$y_aux]->content;
print "";

print_r ($this->appid)."";

print "";  }

TIA,

sands

You see, giving user static or dynamic pages differs a lot.

Just send html or generate it before with php is not the same.

Re: [PHP] How should I cache database data for php?

[Richard Crawford]

Even with straight HTML, a server's load capacity is not infinite.  If 
my own server, an old Pentium with 4 GB of hard drive space, and which 
serves nothing but static HTML pages, got hit with more than a couple 
hundred hits in a short period of time, it would bomb.

I must be misunderstanding your question.  I've re-read your original 
post, and it seems to me that what you're trying to do is save 
webpage-bound database data in a way which will seriously reduce the 
load on a webserver; creating static HTML pages from database data 
instead of building pages dynamically when the user calls them would 
accomplish that goal, and that is what I was suggesting.

Create a function like error_handling()

then do:

[PHP] ftp functions

[sundogcurt]

Before I get flamed for not reading the manual or trying on my own, I 
would just like to say that I have been working on this for a few days 
and have read the manual and looked at quite a few examples, all of 
which seem to elude me.


I want to upload an image, and I want to use the ftp function to do so. 
I want to use the ftp functions for two reasons, (1) I have not used 
them yet, and (2) I will be loading an array with a list of files to be 
uploaded and I think the ftp functions are better suited for this (as 
opposed to the copy function).

On to the trouble

I can connect just fine.

";
echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user 
$ftp_user_name";
die;
} else {
echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";
}


//The file, even if I write the path out on my own, does not upload 
eventually I will have the path put in from a form.


// upload the file
$destination_file = "/public_html/valeriemacwilliam/pics/$SID_.jpg";
//(I have tried this without the beginning slash as well)

$source_file = "C:\\temp\\prestigecars\\bk_jag.jpg";

$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY);

// check upload status
if (!$upload) {
echo "Ftp upload has failed!";
} else {
echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as 
$destination_file";
}

//Even the ftp_close(function fails and causes an error);
// close the FTP stream
ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

Are the ftp functions depreciated? I have taken this example directly 
from the manual and editted the values to reflect my own situation but 
none of the function calls have been editted. Usually when this is the 
case I have just over looked something VERY simple and easy, please take 
a look and see what you can come up with.

I would even be happy with an FAQ, I have been through the one on 
PHP.NET with no joy   \C:

PHP is the lastest release running on Mandrake 8.1 (w / plenty of 
horsepower)

Thank you for your time.

[PHP] Tracking users...

[jas]

I am fairly new to PHP and have setup a site that connects to a MySQL db to
store different information from our users, however what I would like to
setup is something that I could place on a few pages to track users for
demographic purposes.  What I need to do is as a page is visited I need to
generate a random alpha numeric identifier to be used as a session variable
for a cookie and also have that cookie's information be placed into a MySQL
database for later retrieval.  If anyone has a good resource tutorial on
this type of function I would greatly appriciate it.  Oh and yes I have done
quite a bit of research on php.net on both the session() and the setcookie()
functions.  =)  Thanks again. Jas

Re: [PHP] ftp functions

[Jim Lucas [php]]

one problem, the ftp functions that you are trying to use are on the server.
therefor you are trying to connect one "server" to another "server".  you
are not connecting from your workstation to the remote server.  for what you
are attempting to do, ftp will not work.

[PHP] Best way to get the remote IP address?

[Alan McFarlane]

I'm trying to get the remote IP address of a user in a (PHP) version and
server-software independant way, but am having a few problems.

Obviously, I've seen $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'], but Ive also seen
references to $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'].

Is there any generic solution to this problem (and if so, what is it?)

Nor can I, but it is surprising how often I download code that is pretty
much unreadable.

I think a lot of people who try to get projects going just don't think this
through, and then wonder why they don't get much response...

Personally, I would have thought that it is worth taking to trouble to make
any non-trivial code readable before open sourcing - after all, you never
know what might grow from it. Even PHP itself started as a modest personal
project

[PHP] when 1+1 is not equal to 2... STRANGE float behavior

[Marc Swanson]

I understand the issues about binary precision for floating point numbers on 
standard base 2 systems but I'm unsure of the propper way to fix this 
problem.  Here is the base test case:

= 
$contract_amount)\n\n";
if(($paid_to_date + $billable_this_month) >= $contract_amount) {
echo"true";
}
else {
echo"false";
}
?>

This is mostly a cut and paste of a problem that I am trying to fix for a 
client for a particular record which is coming out of the database and not 
evaluating like I want it to.

you would expect (498.05 + 9462.95) to be equal to 9961.00 .  In the case of 
this problem, all variables in question are of type double at time of 
comparison.  


ideas?  I tried casting to various different types without success.  I'd 
prefer not to round if at all possible...

Thanks!

er, yes and no!

Jeff's original post mentioned reducing load on the db server - are the db and web 
servers on the same physical
device - and thus his concern?
- or perhaps if there are other apps needing to 'compete' with the web server to gain 
access to the db
concurrently?

decimal places did the trick:

= 
$contract_amount)\n\n";
if(($paid_to_date + $billable_this_month) >= $contract_amount) {
echo"true";
}
else {
echo"false";
}
?>

now outputs "true". :-)

Re: [PHP] ftp functions

[sundogcurt]

Would you suggest that I use the copy function instead?
I have tried the copy function in a prelim test and I had trouble with 
the function "finding" the file on the local machine. From what I have 
seen in the FAQs on PHPBUILDER and this is not an uncommon problem.

One possible solution was that the path to the file to be uploaded must 
be relative to the location of the script. This doesn't make much sense 
to me though seeing as the file to be uploaded is on the local machine 
and the script on the remote machine.

I'm drowning here, anybody have a rope?

In which case, it seems to me that my solution would still be a good 
one.  Reducing the number of hits on the database server by building 
static pages as needed to be served up by a web server would still 
reduce the load on the database server.

[PHP] ok, I ask again.. how to encrypt to be able to match database info?

[Hawk]

I've asked this several times but it doesn't seem like anyone understands my
problem, the passwords are encrypted in the database, but I don't know how
to match an unencrypted password from the login form with the database?
is it possible to encrypt the password I sent from the form in php or does
that have to be done in mysql?
in any case, how do I do it?
If you don't have anything bright to say, don't, in some of the replys I've
had earlier it sounds like you think I'm an idiot...
And even if I am, I don't want to be refered as one ;)

[PHP] Index.PHP won't load like Index.HTML

[Dion]

I finally got PHP running on Apache in WinXP.  I can execute PHP and all
that, but I can't get it to open in "index.php" file like it would open an
"index.html" file.. ie, first file it looks for in a new directory is
"index.xxx" but it won't open the PHP file... Anyone tell me what i need to
change?... BTW, i added the extensions in the httpd.conf file.  Any
ideas?!?! Please help.

Re: [PHP] ok, I ask again.. how to encrypt to be able to match database info?

[Mark]

what kind of encryption are you talking about?

If you mean mysql's password() function, then no you can't do that in
php. obviously whatever you use has to match the original encryption.

How you had encrypted your password? with MySQL 'password' function? if
yes, try: 

select user, ... from table 
 where user = "$user" and passwd = password("$passwd")

I think you get the idea :)

  hope this helps,

  Antonio.

[PHP] Connection to MySQL with SSL.

[Rodolfo Gonzalez]

Hi,

if a MySQL server is compiled with SSL support (that's for the 4 series),
is it possible to use this secure connection from a PHP script (with
mysql_connect)?.

Thank you.

Hi, am looking for good samples scripts for authentication, but I am using
the CGI version of Apache.   However could be a good way for make
authentication using some file or database as the source for the login name
and so on.

Please let me know if you know where exists a good samples scripts for
that.

I thought we were basically agreeing - should I be arguing with you?

Depending upon how far Jeff wants/needs to go, he can either reduce/remove database 
traffic (only) by 'locking
in' the retrieved data (articles) - either as they are written/approved/whatever or on 
the first occasion a
web-request is received;
or
he can do that and go to the next step - generate static HTML pages and thus remove 
the necessity to run browser
requests through PHP as well, ie reduce his web service load to Apache only.

Personally I would presume the second to be 'best', but I don't know all the facts. 
For example, we can't say
that dynamic db load will be driven to 'zero' because there might still be a need for 
user authentication...

Good idea!

Re: [PHP] Best way to get the remote IP address?

[Bogdan Stancescu]

I can't seem to find any references to HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in the PDF PHP
documentation from January 2001, so you should probably best stick with
either $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'] or simply $REMOTE_ADDR (if you use
$REMOTE_ADDR in functions make sure you do a global on it first) - I
personally use $REMOTE_ADDR, but you should read the docs for details...

That's because it's probably not so much a PHP thing. X-Forwarded-For is 
normally used when going through a proxy. Say my internal IP is 
192.168.1.15, and my proxy's official IP address is 132.248.10.2, then 
we'd have this:

REMOTE_ADDR=132.248.10.2
X_FORWARDED_FOR=192.168.1.15

That way, even when going through a proxy, there's information about who 
originally submitted the request.
