Re: [PHP] getting the "right" REMOTE_ADDR

[Steven Walker]

You lost me... but it sounds like fun! :) BTW, can anything fake 
$HTTP_REFERER?

I'm sure one of the pros on the list can answer your original question:

Is this really a fool-proof method of knowing exactly what the ip is

if (getenv(HTTP_CLIENT_IP)){
$ip=getenv(HTTP_CLIENT_IP);
}
else {
$ip=getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
}

[PHP] fopen and UNC filename

[Johannes Müller]

I tried to fopen("\\machine\share\file.txt","w")

on w2k iis 5.0 with PHP 4.1.0 and I got fopen invalid argument error. I
know,
that UNC filenames are supported since PHP 4.0.6. I tried variants with
machine\\share\\file.txt, ... but the error was the same.

TIA

Re: [PHP] getting the "right" REMOTE_ADDR

[sean]

My problem is a touch different, I know the IP's of the visitors who can visit the 
site, but I need to make sure that it's *really* them.  Cookies are a potential 
solution, but don't quite fit the bill due to some variables on the users sides - and 
what I'm really keeping out are bots (that break in), not people.
I've tested for:
$HTTP_CONNECTION ("Keep-Alive" means not a robot - right?)
$HTTP_REFERER (can't fake this if you're a robot...?)
$HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE (Only comes along with browsers... yea?)

In short, I need to make sure that only humans (who are on the IP list) can view 
content... and I wanted to make sure that bots couldn't spoof their IP and look like 
one of the human IP's.

make sense?

 thanks,
Sean

Re: [PHP] Difference between two dates

Hello,


  I got the solution for the date difference problem..,,

Thankyou very much.

Uma,

I wrote a function last year that calculates the time between 2 dates in
whatever unit is preferred (everything from seconds to years).  My function
expects the date in a slightly different format, but it would be trivial to
switch the order of the date parts in one line and hard-code something for
the hours, minutes and seconds it expects in the date format.  It wouldn't
matter what you hardcode them as since it would use the same time of day for
both dates.

Okay, that's what I needed to hear...

so I'll just add 61200seconds onto the timestamp, and i'll be "in the

okay, so the time stamps should be *close* to equal, and the difference
between the two machines is about 23 mins, so that's okay, but:

when I run
echo date('d M Y H:m:s','1014261839');

on the two machines, I get different results.

local: 21 Feb 2002 14:02:59
live:  20 Feb 2002 21:02:59

this is a difference of exactly 17 hours, so what is date() taking into
consideration?  the timezone of the server?


if i'm putting timestamps into my database (in canada, apparantly 17
hours behind me), I just need to know what I need to do to that
timestamp before running it thru date() to get my local time
(melbourne/sydney) printed to the page.

[PHP] getting the "right" REMOTE_ADDR

[sean]

Hi all,

I need to know the exact ip of who is entering a site and I'm worried about proxies 
and spoofing.  From php.net: 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getenv.php
This was listed:

This gives you the right ip:

if (getenv(HTTP_CLIENT_IP)){
$ip=getenv(HTTP_CLIENT_IP);
}
else {
$ip=getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
}

Is this really a fool-proof method of knowing exactly what the ip is that's getting 
onboard?

Thanks!

Sean

Well, what you are missing is that those are the number of seconds *on that

correctly, you should be getting the *same* number returned by 
time().  Hope that clears it up a little.

Re: [PHP] timestamp confusion

[Justin French]

It doesn't seem to me like this is an issue... isn't the timestamp just
the local unix time?  It is on my LAN server.

The issue I have is that

echo date('d M Y H:m:s','1014261839');
produces 21 Feb 2002 14:02:59 on my LOCAL machine

echo date('d M Y H:m:s','1014260440');
produces 20 Feb 2002 21:02:40 on my LIVE server.

this is a difference of around 17 hours (i ran both scripts within 5
seconds of each other)

however 1014261839 - 1014260440 = just 1399 seconds.


so where am I going wrong?

there's either an issue with:

a) time()
b) date()
c) the subtraction of one timestamp from another

that i'm not aware of.

Re: [PHP] Q on php://stdin

[Billy S Halsey]

Hi all,

I still have been completely unable to get this to work like it should. 
I have a simple script:

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q


So if I call this echo.php, then if I try something like

cat /etc/hosts | ./echo.php

It prints a # (first line of /etc/hosts) followed by two blank lines. 
Then it quits. /etc/hosts does contain real data. This occurs with ANY 
file that I try to cat.

If you know what the problem might be, I would LOVE to hear your 
suggestions. I didn't get any replies the first time I asked, so I'm 
hoping that someone has something to contribute.

I'm using PHP 4.1.1 on Solaris 8.

Thanks in advance,

-bsh

Re: [PHP] Trouble with Sessions

[Steven Walker]

Phillip,

I had the same problem. It's even worse in IE5 since no error was 
displayed, just an empty form. To circumvent this, I put PHP controls 
for navigating. To go back, a button called 'modify' resubmits the data 
to the form page. On my site, if the user clicks the back button, they 
get hosed what can you do?

Any one else know?

Re: [PHP] wordwrap not working

[Steven Walker]

This may be a nl2br() problem. If you are setting \n as your newline 
character, it probably needs to be  if your just echoing it. 
Depending on where it ultimately gets displayed, you'll want one or the 
other. For example, sending an email message you want \n.

[PHP] Trouble with Sessions

[Phillip S. Baker]

Hey All,

I just converted my login process to sessions.
It works great.

However I am having one annoying issue come up.

The site is a secure site. So each page has an include to check to see if a 
validated session is there. If not a login forma appears and so on.
It all works just fine.

However I am coming up against a problem with forms now.

I have a searchable listing of members.
So there is a form to search for particular members.
I preform the search, get a listing of possible matches.

Now I click on a member name to get more info about him bringing up another 
page.
If I hit the back button on the browser to get the search results again I 
get the following message

Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using 
information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a 
security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your 
information for you.

To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh button.

Under my previous scheme where login was through the use of cookies.
I did not get the above message.

Anyone have any ideas how to get ride of this message and just allow the 
back button to work like it did before?

(Oh I get similiar messages in NN 6.2 or NN 4.+)

Phillip

HTML treats bunches of whitespace as one space.  Look at the source of the
page; you'll see that it's doing what it should.

If you want your HTML to appear wordwrapped, modify your PHP to use the
'nl2br()' function:



This will convert all newlines to  tags, and your HTML output will
look just like your text output.

Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables

[John Steele]

Hi Jim,

  Glad that it makes sense now.  In fact, the other page may not even need to exist.  
Instead of including a seperate page, you could simply display the output from within 
this same form script.  I find this extremely useful in combination with a templating 
system.

Happy coding,
  John

[PHP] timestamp confusion

[Justin French]

hi,

when people add something to a table, i'm logging the time()... later,
when I pull it out, i'm doing something like date('d M Y',$stamp), which
all works fine, printing something like "21 Jan 2002".

problem is, i'm on a server in canada, but 99% of my users will be in Australia.

to get an idea of the time difference, I made a simple php file called
time on both my local test server and the live server:

";
echo date('d M Y H:m:s', $stamp);

?>

I ran both scripts within 5 seconds of each other, and got the following:

local:
1014261839
21 Feb 2002 14:02:59

live:
1014260440
20 Feb 2002 21:02:40


So, if I look at the second line of the output, they're about 17 hours
behind me, but if I look at the first line [time()] (according to the
manual, the number of seconds since that date in 1970 i think), I get a
way different result:

1014261839 - 1014260440 = 1399 seconds difference, about 23 minutes.


I want to be able to determine the $difference between the two stamps in
seconds, then do something like:



Seems easy enough, but 1399 doesn't seem right to me!

Where have I lost the plot???

RE: [PHP] Need help

[Martin Towell]

or maybe explode using ";" as your delimiter first
then loop through the returned array
depending on what the current item is, and the previous item(s) are (maybe
using flags to know where you are, and what has happened), act on the
current one in a certain way

dunno if i've written it in an understandable way, but as Steven says, break
it down into smaller steps

John,

You could create a function to do this. Just think of it in small steps. 
You can use the string replace function to replace certain parts with 
other characters, or nothing at all. For example:

$data = "Wilson; Hope,(i) Alec Derwent; King,(i) Bruce; James,(i) 
Henry;";
$new_data = str_replace(",(i) ", "\t", $data);

You can then use explode() to put it into an array. You'll have to 
figure out the details, but that should get you started.

[PHP] Where to look for developers?

[Francisco Reyes]

Suggestions where to place an ad for a part time/per project developer?
I looked at several sites and none of them seemed heavily trafficed or
like a "good place". Also the major places likes monster.com probably
charge a fee to list.

The links I found were from  the "Developers and Job
Opportunities" links on php.net

Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables

[Jim Koutoumis]

John,

I never even thought of just including the page I was wanting to
redirect/switch to. I was always ending my processing portion with a
header("Location : ") thingy in all of my scripts. As no output comes
out during the processing stage it should all work.

It seems so straight forward now, thank you.

[PHP] text box truncate

[Michael P. Carel]

Hi there,

I have here a problem regarding how to truncate the data that was written in
the text box form? I want the data to be displayed in the html collumn in
standard length and format. Setting the  text box in WRAP will not solve the
problem it will not add a new line. I want that instead of wrapping it will
just add a newline(\n) to display it properly in the html column.

Any idea? Please help me im stuck here.

Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables

[John Steele]

Hi Jim,

  The header() function call you use below IS doing a GET.  Maybe if you told us why 
you need to redirect to this new page might help.  Simply doing the processing then 
including the new page should work fine, as long as the processing part doesn't do any 
output.  A simple example:

if ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'POST') {
  if (!isset($name))
echo "Please enter your name!";  // content here or
  else
require 'http://www.somehost.com/somescript.php'; // $name & $age set
  }

John

This is untested, but:

$z = (int) ($x / $y);

Should work.

Hey Austin:

Replace the nasties with preg...

   $Data = preg_replace('/[\x93\x94]/', '"', $Data);


I figured out the Hex numbers of the offending characters by pasting such an
offensive character into the following piece of code where the "x" is...

   echo dechex(ord('x'));


You could use the same principles to replace all sorts of junk.

[PHP] Zend debug server trouble

[bvr]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the debug server for linux, but having
trouble to make it work for remote clients through Apache.

I installed the debug server and compiled php with --enable-debug

The debug server works when I use the 'gdbclient -c' command.

The Zend studio windows client debugs fine using local php.exe .

When I click 'Go' in Zend studio a dialog pops up saying it could
not establish a connection.

I went through the troubleshooting list in the dialog but to no avail.

When I look at the apache logs, there's just the plain request the
IDE did, and there's no errors.

When I paste the request into my browser I get 'document contains no data'.

phpinfo() reports the following:

ZEND_DEBUG  enabled


Please help!

bvr.

Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables

[Jim Koutoumis]

Thanks for your reply John.

In fact I'm using the method you describe where the same script is used to
both display and process the form.

However, in the area where I'm doing the processing, I want to redirect at
the end of it and still be able to use some of the variables in the location
I'm going to go to. Now I know I can just whack them on the end of the
location header:

header("Location:
http://www.somehost.com/somescript.php?name=fred&age=5";);

But I don't want to use this method, I'd rather something similar to GET.

BTW I'm using PHP4+

Re: [PHP] Using 'Location' and variables

[John Steele]

Hi Jim,

  There are several ways to accomplish this such as flat files, database records, 
sessions, and the like.  But I prefer to simply include a file (or have the one file 
do both form display and processing) and then you get all your variables:

if ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'POST') {
  // either do you processing and diplay here, or
  include './destination.php';  // with access to all posted vars
  }
else {
  // display your form
  }

  Remember that header() requires a FULLY QUALIFIED DOMAIN NAME and path:

header("Location: http://www.somehost.com/somescript.php";);

and that it is a GET ($REQUEST_METHOD == 'GET').  The fact that some web servers will 
display the page anyway is no reason to depend on that.

  For PHP4+ of course you can use $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] instead.

HTH,
  John

Re: [PHP] regexp on user supplied link

[DL Neil]

I'll offer the following code to get you started on the task - and invite 
critiques/improvements!
(cribbed from various sources and 'tuned' - note that either apostrophes or double 
quotes can be used to delimit
the URL)

 $bValidity  = $iFound
   = preg_match_all( "/(href *= *['\"]?)([^'\" >]*)(['\" >])/i", 
$HTML, $aRegExOut );
 if ( 0  < $iFound )
 {
  $aA  = $aRegExOut[2];
  if ( DEBUG ) { ShowList( "Located", $aA ); }

BTW I'm covering a case of finding multiple links in one piece of HTML. This can be 
dialed-back for single
cases.

The rest I'll leave to you.

RE: [PHP] array session variable problem (register_global=off)

[Harry Yu]

Thanks for your reply,

I have no problem assigning variable.  I just can't
retrieve them. If I use $_SESSION[foo['bar']], I got
this error in Apache log.

[Wed Feb 20 16:44:50 2002] [error] PHP Parse error: 
parse error, expecting `']''.

Any other idea?

Thanks,
Harry

The code in the first file is correct if
register_globals is on. Since it is
off, remove the call to session_register() and just
assign values directly
to $_SESSION, e.g.,

$_SESSION[name['first']] = 'First Name';

[PHP] Using 'Location' and variables

[Jim Koutoumis]

I'm sure that this is possible, but I haven't found any info/examples on it
yet,..

What I have is a php script that processes data that been submitted by a
FORM.

That's OK,...

At the end of my script, depending upon the processing, I want to GOTO
another php script, that's also OK, I can simply use the function

header("Location:destination.php");

However, I have a whole lot of variables that were initially submitted, and
I want to take some of them with me when I go to the new destination.php.

Now, I know I can just tack them on the end like a POST, but I'd prefer to
NOT get them there in the URL, like a GET does,... any ideas ??

Thanks in advance,

Jim.

You can't pass resource types like database connection IDs in URLs as 
they are only relevant for the instance of the script in which they are 
created. The same goes for things like file identifiers (from fopen) and 
other stuff like that.

Hi All,

I am new to PHP and learning as I go by reading many of the tutorials
around.  I have however come up against a problem that I can't seem to solve
of find any other references to.

I need to make some information available to every page and one of the
series of articles by Kevin Yank which talks about PHP and MySql seemed to
suggest how to do exactly what I wanted but I can't get it to work. His
suggestion was to do something like




I think my problem is in the ...A LINK.. bit - what exactly should go here?


I tried some code to see if it worked and this is what I did:

in login.html



DMS Login
 Connection established on $dbcnx");
if (!$dbcnx) {
echo( "Unable to connect to MySql Server at this time."};
exit();
}
if (! @mysql_connect_db("DMS", $dbcnx) ) {
echo( "Unable to connect to DMS database at this time."};
exit();
}
?>

test link


First name: 
Last Name: 







In the welcome.php3 file I have 


Today's Date


Today's date (according to this server)




What I get is on login page - the texttest linkin blue (i.e. a
link?) and the login prompts.
On the welcome page I get the firstname and lastname ok, but the other
parameter is not in the $QUERY_STRING

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Maybe there is a better way to have some information, that will be retrieved
from the DB available to all pages in the session.  We are not actually
going to have all the users with logins to the DB - but have our own
internal table of users, password and rights information, thus the userid
form this table needs to be available to all pages.


Many Thanks in advance for your help

You can find info about the environment variables and PHP variables in the
PHP manual and apache.org (assuming you run Apache webserver).  I'm sure a
quick search of google or a few Linux / PHP tutorial sites will turn
something up.  I don't have any references offhand.

RE: [PHP] regexp on user supplied link

[SpamSucks86]

I absolutely hate regular expressions because I suck at writing
them...but I can help you with the logic. I was thinking search for a
pattern which matches HREF=" + any number of characters + ". Your match
would be HREF="blahblahblah". Then, you could go and chop off the HREF="
and the lagging ", and then you are left with just a URL. Then, you can
use that built in url parser function (I forget its name, I think it
might be urlparse()). Then, see if there is no host, it's obviously a
relative link, otherwise, you can just see if the host matches or not.
This should work well. Good luck

Subject: [PHP] regexp on user supplied link


Hi,

I have a website which is based purely on user-added content.  The
problem with this is that some areas allow users to use links in the
text, and it's difficult to ensure that they all have a decent knowledge
of attributes such as tartget="_new", etc etc.

So, I'd like a script that...

1. looks at $text for any link tags, and for each tag, does the
following:

2. throws out everything except the HREF eg:
http://www.somesite.com"; target="_new">click becomes
http://www.somesite.com
 becomes javascript:something();

3. prefixe the url with http://www.mysite.com OR http://mysite.com"; is an
external link.

5. if it's an external link, suffix the URL with " TARGET="_new">, or if
it's internal, suffix it with ">


Anyway, that'd be a great start.  From there, I might like to prex each
external link to go thru a program called out.php to log affiliate
activity, and I might like to retain onmouseover, onclick, onmouseout
etc etc properties in the tag, I might like to ensure a session ID is
found within each internal link, and stripped from each external link,
ensure that the  has a matching  etc etc, but the above would be
a great start.


Any help, especially with steps 1, 2 & 4, would be much appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

Re: [PHP] Which Portal System?

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I've heard wonderful things about 
Zope (Python-based).  Though I admit that I have zero experience with 
it.  I'm pretty sure it's an all-in-one package, you don't need a 
separate web server even (though if you have Apache already you can use 
that).

Just do a page with phpinfo() on it - if that works you know your server 
is parsing PHP. If not, more info about your setup would help for 
troubleshooting.

at least you need to 'replace', and I recommend

then you need an expressions that matches the

the manual, however here's a small tip:

/[0-9]+/  matches a series of one or more numbers

phpinfo(); is your friend.  Insert into a PHP script which has a query
string (the part of the URL after the ?) and look at the environment
variables available and listed in the output generated by phpinfo().  The
variable you're looking for is $QUERY_STRING, but you really should get
familiar with all of the other variables available since there are many that
are quite useful.  Also see parse_url() in the manual since it lets you grab
each of the URL's components separately and you can supply the URL as
$SCRIPT_URI, $SCRIPT_URL or something similar.

[PHP] change request for function highlight_string

[Rein Velt]

At  this moment (php4.1.1) the function "highlight_string" has the following
syntax:


[quote]
bool highlight_string ( string str)
This function prints out a syntax highlighted version of str using the
colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP. Returns TRUE or
FALSE.
[/quote]



The function will be more flexible if it returns a string (with highlights)
and nothing is printed directly.

str highlight_string ( string str)
This function returns a string containing a syntax highted version of str
using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP. Returns
TRUE or FALSE.

You can use JavaScript on that link. An onClick event 
which triggers document.formname.submit() would work,
but then you lose backward compatibility (and thus
accessibility) with non-JavaScript browsers.

[PHP] Pulling Variables from URL

[Phillip S. Baker]

Is there an easy way to pull all the variables after the URL?

Let use say that the page I am looking at is this.

www.somewhere.com/pages.php?id=27&color=red&bgcolor=green

Now on the page I want a link to have the 3 variables from above.
I know I can do this.
Click Here

But I am wondering if there is a basica funciton or call I can use to pull 
all the values and variables.
So the code might be as simple as

Click Here

And get the same result.
Thanks all

[PHP] using sendtohost on a secure site

The function sendtohost:

 if (empty($method))
  $method = 'GET';
 $method = strtoupper($method);
 $fp = fsockopen($host,443);
 echo("open");
 if ($method == 'GET')
  $path .= '?' . $data;
 fputs($fp, "$method $path");
 fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
 fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
 fputs($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\n");
 if ($useragent)
  fputs($fp, "User-Agent: MSIE\n");
 fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
 if ($method == 'POST')
  fputs($fp, $data);

  $buf .= fgets($fp,128);
  echo("buf: " . $buf);
}
 fclose($fp);
 echo("close");
 echo($buf);
 return $buf;
}
-END CODE

Is great for posting results to a regular http site.  But what I need to do
is post to a secure site (https).  I looked through some of the php
documentation and couldn't find anything about manually encrypting the data
to send or anything like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

preg_replace("/(\()\d{3,3} Test(\))/", "\1\2", $string);

That will leave your string looking like "This is a () and ()".

RE: [PHP] form submission error trapping

[Jason Dulberg]

Okay... I messed around with things a bit and moved the php stuff to the top
as you suggested. I have part of the validation working however if more than
1 error exists, it still only prints the 1st one.

Below are 2 example places where there would be an error... if I leave them
both blank, they should both give an error message.

$error=array();
if (strlen($username)< 3) {
$error['username']="Username must be more than 3 characters";
}
elseif (strlen($password)< 3) {
$error['password']="Password must be more than 3 characters";
}



".$error['username'];?>


".$error['password'];?>


Am I assigning errors to the array incorrectly?

[PHP] Removing every thing between ( )

[Brian Paulson]

Hello,

What would the regular expression be to remove all the text
between  (  )

$string = "This is a (001 Test) and (002 Test)";

The numbers always change but the word stays the same 

Any help would be appreciated.

The code in the first file is correct if register_globals is on. Since it is
off, remove the call to session_register() and just assign values directly

$_SESSION[name['first']] = 'First Name';

As it happens, I'm building a site that (among other things) will be a
directory of breweries, micorbreweries, brewpubs, etc.-- all in a PHP app
framework I'm developing. The site is still highly in beta though, with
several design possibilities and data being entered. If anyone's interested,

RE: [PHP] question

I'm not sure from your question whether or you understand that the PHP
printer functions only work with printers connected directly to the
server.  They're not for client side printing.  And there are no
equivalent functions for non-Windows platforms.  However I do recall
coming across a Javascript that could open the printer dialog box in the
browser automatically.  A quick search on Usenet should turn up
something.  I'm afraid this about as automated as you're going to get.

Re: [PHP] Class question

[Jeff Sheltren]

Well, I guess many things are "accepted" now, but here's my two cents:

I wouldn't access global variables, instead you should pass everything you 
need as parameters.  Using global variables can come back to bite you 
occasionally because you may think you are changing a local variable at one 
point, but you actually change a global variable, and then who knows what 
will happen when you try to access the global variable later in your code 
expecting an int, for example, and it is suddenly a string...

As for using other user defined functions from elsewhere in your code, I 
think it depends on the context...  But think about what if you want to use 
this class elsewhere, then you will always need to copy over whatever file 
contains your other functions.  In that case it would obviously make more 
sense to contain whatever functions are needed inside of the class.

Hope that gives you some ideas.

Jeff

Sorry, I meant that $_SERVER is better than using register_globals=on,
not that it's better than getenv(). Anyway, getenv() just gets a 
variable value from the environment, and $_SERVER contains a hash of
server variables.

RE: [PHP] Class question

[Hunter, Ray]

The whole idea with object-oriented programming is polymorphism and
encapsulation.  You do not want your classes to access global variables but
access that information through objects and messaging between objects.  If
you are referring to the use of non-member as being outside of the class,
then again you want to use objects.  

As for practice, it is up to you.  For me, no...

when you re-display user input in a textarea (or as the value
attribute of a text input field), you should use the htmlentities()
function. so, from your code:

(you could also probably use CDATA sections and avoid calling

$lp = popen("lpr", "w");

pclose($lp);

this uses the unix-standard 'lpr' utility.

[PHP] Bizarre problem.

[Andres Plaza R.]

Hi everybody!

Some days ago, I asked about a problem making "configure" in PHP
4.1.1. When I try to configure PHP + Oracle:

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-zlib=/usr --with-curl=/usr/local
--with-oci8=/usr/local/oracle/8.0.5 --with-gd

this message appears:

| script was not able to detect a simple feature on your platform.   |
| This is often caused by incorrect configuration parameters. Please |

and if I look the debug.log, the error is:

Everything looks strange, because I know that libm is in my system
(Linux RH 7.2) and the other test (if I look config.log) that used libm
didn't have problems.

BUT, the other day I used vi to see the debug.log, and the error
appears like this:

gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -DLINUX=22 -DMOD_SSL=208105 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DEAPI  
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lm^M
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

You will notice that there is a ^M after -lm ! And, of course, ld
didn't find -lm^M . :-)

Obviously, I edited the configure file, but there's no ^M.

Now, the question: somebody had the same problem? Somebody had a
solution for this? Somebody can help me?!?!?!? :-)

Thanks in advance...

A "work around" is using the one of the system commands and print that way.

Check here for the program execution functions:

In php for windows, you can use the printer_open()
function found in the php_printer.dll.  Unfortuantly,
I run a Red hat/Apache web server and this won't work.
 Do you know of any method/package out there that I
could install on my linux machine that will all me to
print data to a printer?  Thanks for the help.

Re: [PHP] PDF Fonts Files

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

You need to sit through my PDF/PHP talk where I go through all this.  See
conf.php.net/paris2 specifically slides 7 and 8

In particular see the example:

http://conf.php.net/pres/slides/intro/pdf_font_ex2.php

the code for which is on slide #8.  This example shows how to use each of
the built-in fonts, a couple of AFM (Adobe Font Metric) fonts and also a
couple of TTF fonts all on the same PDF page.
