Re: [PHP] String termination
the zval struct in PHP is multifunctional and its string branch has length member. Much of the operations on string are with *_STRINGL() L comes from length. It is preferable php function to use the length instead of *_STRING macros which looks throug the string to find its end.

RE: [PHP] String termination
I think that all chars (\0 to \255) are valid chars in php, from the looks of it, php maintains the strings length, or something, so that you can have \0 in the string Martin -Original Message- From: Marco Laponder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 4:50 PM To: 'Php-General (E-mail) Subject: [PHP] String termination Hi All, I have the following question.

[PHP] String termination
Hi All, I have the following question. I have been developing with C for a while and I was used that the \0 indicated the end of a string. So if I had a variable containing 1234\056789 and the variable was printed, only 1234 was printed. As I can see in PHP (version 4.0.6 ), when I echo such a variable also the characters are printed, even the characters after \0. Is this the case PHP should work or is it a bug ?

[PHP] PHP script to write to /home/userid/ dir. popen not working. how?
Hi,
I'm using PHP 4.1.2 to write a webmail. I'm using Procmail along with
Sendmail. PHP runs as user nobody or user apache. Note that I have the user
id and password in my PHP script from using HTTP authentication. FYI I'm
running Mandrake Linux 8.1.
The problem is:
I want to write to some files (procmail recipe files) that'll reside in
/home/userid. I tested running su using the below code
$fp=popen("su userid","w");
fputs($fp,"userpassword");
fputs($fp,"cd /home/db/");
fputs($fp,"mkdir THIS_IS_GOOD"); //just testing if I can write to dir
fclose($fp);
exit(done);
1) Even when I enter the wrong password, my PHP code doesn't complain. It
dutifully echoes done. Why?
2) Doesn't seem like it's running as it should. How can I achieve what I
want to do - to write to a file (specifically to create procmail files
called .forward and .procmailrc file) to /home/userid/ dir from a PHP
script?
PS: If you're not familiar with procmail, don't worry abt the procmail
jargons!

normally it should work exactly like that.
how do you tell the variable isn't unregistered when you run this?
did you check if the code in the if statement is executed at all?

The {} are to resolve ambiguities. In your simple example there are no
ambiguities thus both give the same result. See manual for example(s) where
{} needs to be used.

RE: [PHP] "the document contained no data"
The fact that there's a seg fault involved makes me think that's it's not so
much a problem w/ code, but a problem with either apache (or whatever web
server you use) a/o your PHP installation -
PHP may be seg faulting before it's done reading the data from the directory
and apache is reporting that no data was sent but the parser has stopped
responding and is what it thinks is "done".
Could also be that the user apache runs under doesn't have access to that
directory.
Or i could be completley wrong too... who knows ;)

a difference in how the nested variable is handled when it's inside curly

Thus this test fails and you get no output.
May I also suggest that you rewrite your echo statements as:
echo 'Donate this item';
Vastly improves legibility.

RE: [PHP] "the document contained no data"
odd, I copied your code, changed the dir to "./" and it works for me
(php4.0.?, winnt)
if dir() doesn't work for you, you might need to use opendir(), readdir(),
etc

[PHP] Parse Error using an include class
Hello,
This is my first question to the list, I have included as much
information as I feel will help someone find a solution to my problem.
Server: RedHat Linux 7.0, Kernel 2.2.16-22
PHP Version: 4.1.0
Apache Version: 1.3.12
Class name: class.Htpasswd.php3
Problem
I have just started using classes, downloaded from www.thewebmasters.net
web site. I am working on user authentication and I am getting a
parse error when the page loads. Only since I started using the
class has this parse error occurred, but I am not sure if it the
class that is causing the problem or not. I have included sections that
I feel are relevant from my httpd.conf, php.ini and locations and
contents of my .htpasswd files.
File Locations:
php config script - php.ini - /usr/local/lib/php.ini
password flat file - .htpasswd - /var/www/html/private/.htpasswd
include directory - - /var/www/html/php/includes
include class name - class.Htpasswd.php3

{
print("authentication error);
}
else
{

// echo( "passes check for aHTPasswd->EXITS");
if ( $aHTPasswd->verifyUser( "phpbook", "phpbook" ) )
{
print( "phpbook is a valid user" );
}
else
{
print( "phpbook is not a valid user" );
}
}
?>

On a side note, if someone can check my .htaccess permissions as

appreciate knowing if I have other problems.
I hope the solution is something that I have over looked or miss
configured. Any assistance is appreciated.

The web server must have write and execute access to the directory in
which you are creating the new file. In general the web server runs
with no privileges, so the directory must be world-writable. This is
the reason uploaded images are generally dumped into a database. Bad
news having world-writable files/directories scattered all around.
Try creating the file in /tmp as a test.

Re: [PHP] RPM apache+php v. source apache+php

If what they provide is exactly what you need, that's fine. For critical services like web or email, don't be suprised if your needs differ from what the RPM's creator planned for. I use stock programs for my base server load, but important things like apache+mod_ssl+php or qmail+vpopmail I compile myself. The stock versions just don't cut it for me. > If Red hat is too specific for this list we > can expand it, but that is the binary that I'm interested in seeing how > it stacks up. Don't worry, it isn't just Red Hat. I use SuSE, which also uses RPMs for installing packages. It is great for most things, for other things you have a compiler... > Red Hat compiles a bunch of stuff into both apache and php but most of > it is modular so it shouldn't have enormous amounts of overhead. On the > other hand, it sure is easy to keep up to date, and when you have a lot > of servers that is a big plus. I disagree. The simplest way to update a bunch of servers is to create a single static linked httpd with everything you want in it, then copy _one file_ to each server, and re-start it. (Stop then start, not graceful.) > If you need a feature in php that is not included in the RH configure > you are better off using source, I've tried building the php source RPM > adding some new options and didn't come close to getting it to work, but > I'm not an expert in building RPM's and maybe it was all my fault. Correct. If the RPM isn't EXACTLY what you want, forget about it and use the source. > For those of you that are of the mindset that everyone should compile > everything from source, that's duly noted, but I'd rather hear from > people who weigh out the benefits of using one or the other and go with > the best choice. Compiling everything from source would be crazy! There are many things that come with a Linux distribution that are just fine. Compiling your own login, intetd, ps, ls, etc. would be nothing but a waste of time. As I said: If the RPM is exactly what you need, use it... else use the source and don't look back.

Re: [PHP] Making graphics

[PHP] Can't load php_ldap.dll - Module doesn't exist???
Hello, I'm getting this error from IIS/NTSP4 - but the php_ldap.dll module is right next to the php_gd.dll module I'm loading (along with several others, but that doesn't seem to make any difference). What module is it looking for? John -- /* SteeleSoft Consulting John Steele - Systems Analyst/Programmer * We also walk dogs...

Re: [PHP] alphabetizing titles when first word begins with'The','A',etc.
Hi Steph, 1st things 1st, you're date is set the year 00 for some reason, so your email was kinda hidden in my PHP folder. This may limit the number of ppl who respond. I have no idea if it can be done in the MySQL query, but you could get all your results into an array, and do a regular expression replace for an array of bad starts like The A An etc etc, creating a new item in the array called title_sort, and sort the array by that array element, but use the original title to print to the page. Sorry, I'm having trouble explaining it. Perhaps someone with a little more experience with arrays will be able to show you in code :) Justin on 13/04/00 5:44 AM, Steph ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > Hi.

how ? I put one echo statement after copy which is displaying but never
uploading the file.

i tried with complete path starting from root (/usr/web/html/img) and
also with virtual (/img/).

Re: [PHP] HTML Character Parsing
This is pretty basic, and I recommend looking at all the string functions. Basically, you want to use strip_tags() to get rid of the html (with optionally allowing SOME tags to be passed thru. Then use nl2br() to convert /n's (the only type of newline you're likely to receive via a web form) to 's. Let's say we only want to allow ; Bold,Italics,link\nunderline"; $string = strip_tags($string, ""); $string = nl2br($string); echo $string; ?> This will print: Bold,Italics,linkunderline Ie, every tag apart from the allowed tags has been stripped, and the \n has been changed to a break. Of course, all this is in the manual :) This doesn't strip out ALL evil however. There's been some discussion about the allowed tags having evil in them (eg ) recently, and you'd also want to trim the input down to a certain length (to save people flooding your server with 50mb of text or something :) The simple solution is not to think about what you KNOW of to be evil, but look at it the other way, and only accept what you consider safe, and throw out everything else.

RE: [PHP] Posting with script tags, or a plea not to
Well, you read the message and I didn't get an email. That tells me that it isn't actually executing the code. Are you sure it isn't just putting the code in the mail literally? ie. if you do a "view source" on the message, do you not see the raw PHP tags? -Rasmus On Thu, 11 Apr 2002, Barry C.

There is something seriously wrong if your webmail is trying to execute the php code embedded inside an email.

RE: [PHP] Set Global Variables
Well, on unix, you could use the (still experimental, according to the docs) shared memory functions: http://php.he.net/manual/en/ref.shmop.php There's also the apparently more mature, but less portable semaphore/shared memory functions (also Unix only) here: http://php.he.net/manual/en/ref.sem.php I've never used either of these. Maybe you could explain what you're trying to do a bit more (and what platform you're on). I can't see where loading separate copies of the variables would be much of a memory issue, unless you have large numbers of variables, very long strings stored there, and hundreds of apache child processes. - steve At 2:52 PM -0400 4/11/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >If I do that, won't the data that I fetch be duplicated in memory for each >user?

Re: [PHP] Variable wildcards
Yeah, I thought so too, but variable variables doesn't seem to provide for
this to add a little bit of detail to what I am doing, it is a user
list, and I want to have a check box next to each user so that you can
select 1 or more users for deletion. Each checkbox will be named User$id
($id of course being the numerical id of the user in the database)
I did try doing somehting like $User{ereg ([0-9])} but it doesn't seem to
work, or I'm doing it wrong.
I guess maybe an easier way is if I could somehow drop all of the selected
id's into an array? Then I wouldn't need to worry about needing to determine
which variables exist.

[PHP] session unset or unregister??
Hi list,
I'm in a serious trouble that I couldn't figure out an escape. I have
basically to html pages that pass variables to each other by get method. So
I register some vars in sessions. in one o this pages i have.
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['erase_data'])) {
session_unregister('data');
}
but the code doesn't erase the var from session, and If i use
session_unset('data') it erases all vars from session, that I don't want to.
How to solve this?!??! i have started the session and used
session_register('data','id').. to store the vars.
Thank's in advance

[PHP] Re: PHP & Dynamic XML Pages
I use pretty much the same idea, but PHP isn't used to parse the returned XML. Rather, it just fetches the XML and sends it off to an XSLT processor. Look at the XSLT extension for PHP. You'll likely need to get Sablotron from www.gingerall.com. You'll also have to write an XSL stylesheet to convert the XML to HTML. Of course, this is all done with PHP4. I haven't used PHP3, so I can't say if it would work properly with it. (Is there even an XSLT extension for PHP3?)

I just thought of an answer to my own question -- I could change the switch() statement so that it is controlled by GET data and simply pass the appropriate value on the querystring in the form's "action" attribute, but use POST as the method of the form. So I end up with a form that looks like: $form = "\n"; This works very well -- and by including a hidden form field in the POST-based form like "", I can perform a test at the receiving end to make sure that the user didn't bookmark this page. Of course, it's not real security, since anyone could fake the POST data, but I'm not trying to hide anything -- just trying to keep the user from making a dumb mistake.

[PHP] PHP & Dynamic XML Pages
I've got a client who wants me to build a form-based user interface for an application that will allow people to sign up for ISP service.

I know PHP can parse XML and act appropriately thereupon, but every example I've looked up shows PHP just parsing a static XML page. As best I can tell, the sequence of events if this did work would be: 1. User posts HTML form to PHP script. 2. PHP script submits appropriately encoded query string to remote server. 3. PHP script parses returned XML. 4. PHP script generates HTML to send to the user. Do I have this roughly right? Can such a thing even happen? If not, is there a language I can do it in?

Checkout the substr() function. You can do something like:

-9 would be the staring position. I am not sure if this is the right

Andrey, Thank you for the detailed explanation. So to sum it up, you need to call the base class's constructor from within the extended class's constructor if you want the effect of both constructors happening at once, as the extended class is instantiated into an object. I've noticed that it -is- possible to call the base class's constructor from the script, like this: // classes are Base and Extended $instance($arg1) = new Extended; // directly access the base class's constructor $instance->Base($arg2); and it seems to work. But this is really just shortchanging yourself the value of having a constructor in Base, since you are calling it as a method and not using its "automaticness" feature.

Exactly. I haven't actually read their style guide, I just saw it
mentioned somewhere recently and it's the only PHP style guide I've ever
heard of, so I figured I'd pass it on. The truth is that tastes vary,
and unless everyone starts using Python (whose syntax I really like,
though it was hard to get used to seeing "naked" variable names [no
buck]), there will always be differences.
To the original poster: One thing I've found, and have found is harder
to achieve than it seems, is that the most important thing is to be
consistent with your own style. But as I've learned more and more about
programming over the past few months, my style has definitely changed --
even within this same project! I try to keep it consistent but I learn
all kinds of new code-organizing techniques (like OOP), so it's not that
easy.

Re: [PHP] Tutorial on proper code formating
I disagree. The Inline Method may be less compact than the Traditional
Method but it is much easier to read. The following are two identical code
sniplets. One is formated with the Traditional Method and the other with
the Inline Method. You make the decision which one you want to use.
In my opinion the Traditional Method is a mess.. You can't tell where each
block ends without thuroughly studying the code. But it is compact. I can
see why this method would have been adopted by early programmers with large
text on small screens. Question is would you need to be compact these days
when you have 10 point type on a 1280x1024 (or larger) screen?

[PHP] flush() doesn't seem to work for Windows PHP shell script
Hi. I have a PHP shell script running on Windows that I would like to display status on where it's at in the code because it takes a long time to finish. Using flush() doesn't seem to work as all the status messages still don't output to screen until the script finishes running even though I'm doing flush() right after echo. Is there another way to get status messages while the script is running? Thanks. David -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] constructors in derived classes
In PHP the programmer has to call the constructor of the super class.
The derived class has to know the name of his "super"(java syntax).
In PHP5 the constructor will have unified name, there will not be a need the derived
class to know super class name.
So
base_var = $init;}
}
class Extended extends Base{
var $ext_var;
function Extended($init){
$this->Base($init.$init);
print "\n".$init." in Extended";
$this->ext_var =$init;
}
}
$a = new Extended("FUBAR");
print "\n";
var_dump($a);
?>
FUBAR in BASE
FUBAR in Extended
object(extended)(2) {
["base_var"]=>
string(5) "FUBARFUBAR"
["ext_var"]=>
string(5) "FUBAR"
}
base_var = $init;}
}
class Extended extends Base{
var $ext_var;
function Extended($init){
//$this->Base($init.$init);
print "\n".$init." in Extended";
$this->ext_var =$init;
}
}
$a = new Extended("FUBAR");
print "\n";
var_dump($a);
?>
FUBAR in Extended
object(extended)(2) {
["base_var"]=>
string(5) "empty"
["ext_var"]=>
string(5) "FUBAR"
}

Uch! Uch! Uch! I don't like their nesting ideas:
if (condition) // Comment
{
}
else // Comment
{
}
This is the standard I learned and find easier to read:
if (condition) {
# Comment
} else {
# Comment
}
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/pod/perlstyle.html has some ideas too.
But it also calls for "uncuddled elses."
Here's a link to another style guide

^^
This regex will match only files that obey the following rules:
1. may or may not start with a slash
2. next character must be an underscore
3. next 4 characters must be digits
4. next character must be a dot
5. next 3 characters must be "jpg"
6. case doesn't matter
Are you sure you have files that meet the above 6 rules in your
directory? If you don't, then nothing will be displayed. Are you sure
that your "/path/to/directory" is a real path to a real directory? etc
etc

Re: [PHP] pages compressed with zlib
It will only send compressed pages to browsers that support it so that's not a problem. Pro's are that pages load much faster. especially if your HTML output is big, images are already compressed so they stay the same. cons are minor, since the page is gzipped when loading on a browser it doesn't "cascade" onto your screen, it appears all at once when the transfer is complete, so the total load time is faster, but it's a little longer before the user see's anything. I'd also guess that gzipping every page will make the processor work harder. but I've never had a problem with that. test it out, we noticed big differences on modems to our site.
