[PHP] Content Management System in php

[Olav Bringedal]

I have been looking into some of the CMS' that the php
community provides. Now I wonder what the common
thoughts about these are. Are they fit for deployment
into professtional organisations or simply still on a
"idealistic-website" level?

I made a trial installation of php-nuke and frankly
i'm very impressed on some matters, like its sceduled
posting and admin interface. However it lacs some
features in the ability to apply a own design, its
forum has something left to desire so on. It might
work for a site like /., but I doubt it would work
very well on a corporate nework. PostNuke might even
look a bit better and dynamic. Am I wrong about this?
Do anyone got any experiences with eZ publish?

What interests me in a CMS, are subjects like:

-Ability to use role/group-based access. 
-Forum options (access/theading/moderation s.o.)
-Ability to easily make a design/theme that fits a
strict and "ready-set" design.
-Ability to incorporate existing
web-modules/pages/sites



I would very much like to hear your thoughts of
this...

RE: [PHP] Content Management System in php

[Brian McGarvie]

Indeed PHP-Nuke is not meant for Co-orporate sites...

I have my own custom built 'bits' that I put together when doing site
for a client.

If you can't/don't have the luxury of being able to hire/contract a developer
to develop a custom-designed solution for your needs then you are unfortinaltley
limited to what the various CMS's out there can do. I've looked at most of them
and none offer a solution that to me is 'perfect' each of them have bits that are
greate, but it's the lack of the rest of the application that lets it down. As for
php-nukes admin facility, it's possibly one of the worst I've pseronally seen, but 
again
unless you are able to get something custom developed, you wont find/it'll be hard to 
find
a single pre-built CMS that will do what you want.

Going back to php-nuke, I'ts qyite limited in what you can do with it's layout from 
what i
can remember - I may be wrong - looking at a version of it from last month.

I also think for co-orporate sites, a CMS/CRM solution would be better, however this 
is an
even bigger undertaking.

Just my thoughts on CMS's ;)

To me all/most CMS's out there are aimed at 'pet sites', like, personal sites, gamers 
sites
and so on...

RE: [PHP] Editor

[Brian McGarvie]

I have been using this for a couple of years and personally consider it the best 
all-round editor next to UltraEdit for codeing not just web-pages but other 
languages...

It's extremely flexible plug-in modules are easy to develop if you need it to do 
something, and also has quite a few decent ones that people are contributing. I've 
been trying to develop a HTML-KIT plug-in that will allow me to execute a php script 
and list any errors/warnings, so that i can check it before uploadin/testing...

Things like that make it e very nice editor... the latest Beta is especially nice...

I am presently developing an Intranet for a multi-national and this is the editor I 
have used... even when they gave me a budget to aquire any software I needed.

[PHP] LDAP...

[Brian McGarvie]

I'm just experimenting with LDAP...

[ Windows 2000 Server/IIS/php 4.2.1]

I've uncommented the php_ldap.dll in my .ini... when I execute the following simple 
piece of code it gives me:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect() in E:\wwwshell\test\index.php 
on line 5

[PHP] sessions and temporary tables

[Wilbert Enserink]

hi all,


i have this problem:

1) on the start of each script I call session_start()
2) on my search.php page I query an info-table, put the results in a temporary table 
called $SID(=session_id()), and display the results. As a check I also query the table 
$SID and voila: the results were indeed stored in this temporary table.
3) On my next page there is this checkbox which says: search within these results.
4) If this checkbox is checked I query the $SID table rather then the info table.
5) but now I get this error: Table 'dbname.ed61c337640e2b0ab8f3ffccb63f8597' doesn't 
exist

as a check I print $SID on each page. and always it is the same SID, which makes sense 
cause i'm still in the same session.

My Q: howcome mySQL is not able to find this temporary  table anymore It seems to 
have destroyed this table when leaving the search.php page, but that's a rather odd 
idea, cause I thought it maintained while the session was still active...

any input is largely appreciated!

thx and regards,
Wilbert

Well sessions have nothing to do with MySQL tables (temporary or otherwise). 
The reason why your table doesn't exist anymore is probably because temp 
tables are only there for the duration of a particular mysql connection. Once 
the connection is closed the table is automatically purged.

[PHP] Re: ORACLE!!!

Look in the windows registry to find what to put here.
oracle_home is the path to the oracle home directory (your oracle client)
oracle_sid is something like ORCL for example.


> $connection = ora_logon ("user", "pass") or die("No Connection");
Ora_logon and other ora* functions com from the "oracle" extension
(php_oracle.dll). You would rather use ocilogon and friends, from the newer
php_oci.dll. Just uncomment php_oci.dll in your php.ini to use them. The
oci* functions can be used against a Oracle7 or an Oracle8 database. ora$
functions are limited to Oracle 7.
So you would rather use :
$connection = OCILogon($user, $pass, $tns) or die("No Connection");
About the third argument ($tns), it is what you find in the tnsnames.ora
file, located in [your_oracle_directory]/Network/Admin.
For example, if your tnsnames.ora looks like this :
sa_tcp32.world =
  (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
  (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
  (PROTOCOL = TCP)
  (Host = 21.1.1.45)
  (Port = 1521)
)
(ADDRESS =
  (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
  (PROTOCOL = TCP)
  (Host = 21.1.1.45)
  (Port = 1526)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORCL)
)
  )

... then your $tns argument will be "sa_tcp32".

If you don't set several variables with putenv, you may encounter some
problems with this third argument. Then you can replace its name by its
entire definition.

Hope it will help you !

Regards,
Philippe

Re: [PHP] How do I hide download link ...

[Nathan Taylor]

I don't believe it is possible to hide the physical link but it is plausibly
easy enough to write a script that randomly changes the file name and
location. Here's some psuedo code to get you started:

//Step 1: Locate the file
$query = "select * from file_locations where file_name='secure.zip'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

//Step 2: Move the file
This code is up to you, I'd be curious to think what routine you think up if
any.  My suggestions include using a routine to not only change the file
name but copy it to a different directory, which also has a non specific
name.

//Step 3: Update Location (don't want to lose the location)
$query = "update file_locations set location=$newlocation where
file_name='secure.zip'";
mysql_query($query)

Best of Luck to you,
Nathan Taylor

unless you open a persistent connection, connections are closed automatically at the

Please do not click yes when it asks you to send the reciept on the email
about hiding a download link, I hadn't realized the reciept function was on

Re: [PHP] How do I hide download link ...

[Bret L Conard]

Start a session on the sign in page, and check for the session before
displaying the page with the link. The it does not matter if the link page
URL is distributed. In my situation;
1. Sign in page goes to a validation script.
2. Check for form fields. (1st of Nested loops)
if (isset($formField)){//check for form.
3. If form, validate user and start session
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ok_users WHERE password =
$password AND user_ID = $user_ID");
if (mysql_num_rows($result) < 1){// No user so exit
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 1){// Too many users (bad data) so
exit
else{   //valid user
session_start();
   // register the variables you need or want
session_register("SESSION");.
4. redirect to page with download
   header ("Location: download.php");
 must be in the session start snippet or get too many headers errors
/
}//end start session code
  }//end check for multiple match
 }//end check for form (and other actions)
 else{//if no form.
print ("You must login to access this page");
}
5. On download page check for session.
");
 print ("Click here to Log In");
}
else{
body of page
}

Now if you access the download page directly, you only get a link to sign
in...

Does this help?

print ("");

should be:

print("Sign-in");   // or something like that


But anyways, I don't think that's quite what he wanted.  I think the idea is
to protect the link to a file so only special users can see it.  Sure this
code with protect the page from being viewed, but, download.php or whatever,
if it is protected it still points to a physical file.   If a user for some
reason desires to leak the actual link then there could be a problem.  This
is why he probably should change the physical file data.

[PHP] shtml problem

[savaidis]

I use a  search.shtml  script to pass  with a form some vars (user's IP)  to
a PHP script to keep it in a MySQL record.

When I run the search.shtml directrly , I have no problem all vars  pass and
are  keept OK.

But when I run it from a frame then the IP var is undefuned (null).
--code for main.php ---
echo ('');
echo ('');
--end code -

What happens and what I can do? The dir is the same.

Thanks


Makis

[PHP] Tracking file downloads

[PHPCoder]

Hi
I would like to know any ideas on tackling the following:

I would like to have people give me their details via a form and then 
allow them to download files from the server, and I would also like to 
keep track/record of the files that are downloaded. The record doesn't 
need to be kept, just e-mailed to the admin as soon as it is done and 
the user exits the site.
I guess this would be the perfect example for using sessions? 
Unfortunately I am not too hot on sessions, so any advise/help will be 
appreciated.

Thanks

[PHP] mysql_num_rows always returns 1?

[Mark Colvin]

The function below works when I pass in a valid username and password and
returns '1'. When I pass a username and password that is not in the database
it still returns '1'. I have put some echo statements in for debugging and
the value of $numresult is always '1'. Does mysql_num_rows retain results in
memory or something like that or am I completely going down the wrong road?

  function VerifyLogin($user, $pass)
  {

 $conn = $this->DB_Connect();

 $query = "select count(*) from users where "
   ."username = '$user' and "
   ."password = '$pass'";

 $result = mysql_query($query);

 if(!$result)
 {
 echo 'Cannot run query.';
 echo 'user = ' .$user;
 echo 'pass = ' .$pass;
 echo 'query = ' .$query;
 echo 'result = ' .$result;
 $numresult = mysql_num_rows($result);
 echo 'numresult = ' .$numresult;
 exit;
 }
 else
 {
 $numresult = mysql_num_rows($result);
 echo 'numresult = ' .$numresult;
 }

 //if a row exists we have a correct username/password
 if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
 {
return 1;

[PHP] Sessions : see also "Tracking file downloads"

[PHPCoder]

HI
While waiting for responses on my first question, I've done some reading 
on sessions, and came up with the following questions:
First, I have been coding with PHP for a while without knowing about 
sessions, and have completed a couple of rather large projects without 
using sessions as such, yet, much of what I have read on sessions, I 
have done "manually" already by creating my own unique "id's" and 
passing them on via url to the subsequent pages.
So, here is my question.
Is sessions basically just that, made "easier" , or are there 
fundamental differences/advantages. I know (now after reading a bit) 
about the use of cookies etc if availale when using sessions, and that 
you cannot "overwrite" a session variable by passing it via url, but are 
those the only differences? So, basically, do you really HAVE to use 
sessions, or is it like most other things in life; "there are more than 
one way to skin a cat". Are there set "rules" or guidelines to when one 
would definately absolutely have to use sessions?

Thanks
Hope I make sense...

RE: [PHP] mysql_num_rows always returns 1?

[Niklas Lampén]

Try

$query = "select count(*) as Lines from users where "
  
and then check the value of Lines. Or then do something like

$query = "select ID from users where "
and now your mysql_num_rows($result) should return right kinda value.

[PHP] Re: Sessions : see also "Tracking file downloads"

[BB]

This really is like life, PHP Sessions aren't particularly secure, just make
a form to post PHPSESSID of a true session to one of ya pages and you can
"steal" a session!

Its possible to check IPs and so on,

PHP's sessions use text files (by default), and pre-populate
$_SESSION/$HTTP_SESSION_VARS.  They use cookies, if no cookies are allowed,
they append to forms and a hrefs.  This makes them very easy to integrate
into a website because they do it seemlessly.

that's because when 'select count(*)' = 0 when it finds no results.
So you get a record returned to $result with a single line that tells
you count(*) was 0.

what you should probably do is instead of counting, check for a valid
username/password returned by your query.  if they're blank, then
$user/$pass are either incorrect or not in your users table.

or, as someone else suggested, check the value of count(*)
rather than the number of lines returned by the query.

Re: [PHP] sessions and temporary tables

[1LT John W. Holmes]

Temporary tables only exist for the duration of your script, with or without
using mysql_pconnect(). If you want a MySQL table to remain, then don't make
it temporary. Make it a regular table and then create a cron script that
goes through and deletes tables that are more than X minutes/hours old.

Subject: [PHP] sessions and temporary tables


hi all,


i have this problem:

1) on the start of each script I call session_start()
2) on my search.php page I query an info-table, put the results in a
temporary table called $SID(=session_id()), and display the results. As a
check I also query the table $SID and voila: the results were indeed stored
in this temporary table.
3) On my next page there is this checkbox which says: search within these
results.
4) If this checkbox is checked I query the $SID table rather then the info
table.
5) but now I get this error: Table 'dbname.ed61c337640e2b0ab8f3ffccb63f8597'
doesn't exist

as a check I print $SID on each page. and always it is the same SID, which
makes sense cause i'm still in the same session.

My Q: howcome mySQL is not able to find this temporary  table anymore It
seems to have destroyed this table when leaving the search.php page, but
that's a rather odd idea, cause I thought it maintained while the session
was still active...

any input is largely appreciated!

thx and regards,
Wilbert

Re: [PHP] How do I hide download link ...

[1LT John W. Holmes]

I thought we answered this question already!

It's simple. On your login page or whatever, you start a session and set a
variable saying that the user is logged in.



Now, the most secure way to protect your files is to place them above your
web root. Then no one can ever get to them through a browser (directly to
the file). If you can't do that, then place them in a folder with a long
name that's going to be hard to guess.

Then, you have a download.php file that you direct all requests for
downloads to. You'll also have to pass it a code to identify which file the
user means to download. This can be an ID from a database, or an actual
filename.

download.php?ID=4
download.php?Filename=music
etc...

In download.php you check for an active session. If it's good, then you send
the appropriate header() for the file the user wants to download and then
use passthru() to send them the file. Make sure you are only sending them a
file from your download directory, wherever that is. Make sure they don't
pass you a path to a file they shouldn't be looking at.

Please log in";
}
?>

I don't remember the exact header() format, and it's dependent on the types
of files your offering, but you should get the idea.

Adapt to your needs, but this is the basics of it. Check for a valid
session, if it exists, send appropriate headers and use passthru() to send
the file. (you can use file(), fopen(), whatever, as long as you send the
content of the file after the headers...). If session doesn't match up, send
an HTML page.

Hopefully this thread will die now...

Re: [PHP] Sessions : see also "Tracking file downloads"

[1LT John W. Holmes]

You can do whatever you want, of course.

Sessions just make your code easier and portable and more people will be
able to understand what you're talking about.

Sessions are just a way to pass a variable between pages. You assign a
variable to the session, and you retrieve it on any other page that has a
session. that's it. You can use regular variables or arrays...

Re: [PHP] Tracking file downloads

[1LT John W. Holmes]

See my posting I just made about "How do I hide the download link ..."

You'll want to use a similar method with the download.php. You may not have
to check for a session, but you can use the scirpt to keep track of what
file was downloaded, increment it's counter in a database, or send an email,
whatever. then send the header() and file content.

[PHP] Error Reporing Questions with Mac

I'm running php 4 on a unix server and am experiencing a problem with error

When I get a parse error it won't tell me what line the error is on...it

Perhaps it was a typo, but "parse error on line 1" does state the line

I may be completely off-base here, but I think thats more of an Excel

[PHP] server problems

[Kris Vose]

I just uploaded a php driven web site that use text files to archive data to a unix 
server.  When I went to try and add another archive the script fails without a 
warning.  It does not store the data in the text file and it does not add another 
archive.  I wrote this application about 4 months ago when I was just learning php and 
I have found since then that mysql is the best way to store data! duh...  Anyway I was 
wondering if my permissions are screwed up on the unix server, or if there is 
something that I am overlooking here!  I do not really want to rewrite the code!  I 
spoke with the administrator of the server and he has no idea.  They are using PHP 
4.0.2B and we are using PHP 4.1.2  Anyway...thanks in advance.

Even if my script has an error on say line 42 it still tells me that the

error on the page but it always tells me that the error is on line 1.

RE: [PHP] PHP to Excel?

[J. Anderson Scarbrough]

I often build simple reports using HTML tables and then add an Excel MIME 
header to the page which launches Excel.  Since newer verions of Excell 
suport HTML natively, Excel can read the HTML tables and render them 
appropriately with all your formatting.  I find this works well for simple 
reports and it requires very little effort.  Just an idea

[PHP] phpmyadmin - moving data from one database to another

[Phil Schwarzmann]

The lazy and worthless a-holes at www.infinitehost.com (my host server)
are forcing me to move all my MySQL data from one server to another
because they are too dumb to fix it.
 
I need to use phpmyadmin to move the data but i'm not %100 sure how to
do it.  There are some "view dump" commands.  It looks like I can
somehow download all the data and structure to my local computer, then
upload it to the new server.
 
Anyone have any info on this?
 
THanks!

[PHP] exec() , shell_exec() , system() ???

[prg]

Hola/Hi ,

I'm having a problem when I tried to get a result from
my script. I don't know how to fix it, I already read the on-line manual
in php.net but still I have the same problem..   :(

The "$result" (array) variable is empty. lenght = 0
I tried with: $result = shell_exec($cmdline);
but it's empty too...

however, when I put the cmdline in the prompt:
  /web/cgi-bin/check.cgi /web/cgi-bin/temp/12345AA.txt
it's works fine..
I'm testing in a Solaris 2.6 with apache 1.3.24 and php 4.1.2
and the user that I test in the prompt was nobody


script
---
$filename = "/web/cgi-bin/temp/$ID_VAR.txt";
$fp=fopen($filename,"w");
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
  fwrite($fp,"$key=$val&");
}
fclose($fp);
unset($result);unset($retint);
$cmdline = "/web/cgi-bin/check.cgi $filename";
exec($cmdline,$result,$retint);  //  <-this line!
if ($result[0]=="GOOD") { echo "OK";}
else { echo "KO";}
---

values when I print out variables:
$result =  Array
sizeof($result) =  0
$result[0] =
$result[1] =
$retint = 248


I apology because my english isn't good enough..
if someone speak spanish I could give more details about my problem.

Thanks.

Re: [PHP] Error Reporing Questions with Mac

[Justin French]

Your problem is undoubtably to do with the difference in line endings on
mac/pc/unix.

Basically, when PHP parses your file, it see's it all as one line, and is
finding the error on LINE 1, which is correct.

When the same file is saved on a unix or pc system, the line endings are
different, and PHP recognises them.

I'm using BBEdit Lite as a text editor on my Mac, and it has the option of
saving the file in Mac, PC or Unix format, to combat this problem.

Look for a simular feature in your text editor (try search for "file
format", or "line endings" in your help files, or grab BBEdit ($) or BBEdit
lite (!$) from bare bones software.

Re: [PHP] Re: phpmyadmin - moving data from one database to another

[Scott]

Can't he just dump the db to a file and then load it on the new server?  I 
do that all of the time between my laptop and work.

Dump the db into a sql file (choosing data and structure for the dump)
Create a new db on the server
then run:  mysql -u xxx -p xxx -D (database name) < name_of_dump_file

Re: [PHP] PHP to Excel?

[1LT John W. Holmes]

The layout on that site is so annoying. Yeah, it looks pretty, but it's
annoying. It's PHP2Excel BiffWriter that your looking for on that site.
Should be one of the topics when you expand the central "dot" (after you
close the "news' popup). annoying...

Like someone else said, I just use HTML and send an Excel header(). Works
great and it's perfect for simple stuff. I'll probably move to PHP2Excel
BiffWriter eventually, though.

hi chad,

So far so good. $myfile is now a pointer to this file, so you can't
print it like that. Use fgets() or something else to read your file.

[PHP] setting up a php/mysql server on linux

[Phil Schwarzmann]

I'm a Linux newbie.  I just installed Linux Red Hat 7.2 successfully.  I
have some instructions to install php/mysql/apache and have a couple
questions...
 
Which is better, GNOME or KDE?  I seem to like the feel of KDE better.
 
Does Apache or php or mysql already come preloaded on Linux Red Hat?
 
Any tips you want to give me when installing all this stuff.  I had a
hard ass time getting this to work on Windows, so now I gave up and went
to Linux.
 
Your thoughts?
 
Thanks!!

the two servers have different settings for register_globals in php.ini?

I just uploaded a php driven web site that use text files to archive data to
a unix server.  When I went to try and add another archive the script fails
without a warning.  It does not store the data in the text file and it does
not add another archive.  I wrote this application about 4 months ago when I
was just learning php and I have found since then that mysql is the best way
to store data! duh...  Anyway I was wondering if my permissions are screwed
up on the unix server, or if there is something that I am overlooking here!
I do not really want to rewrite the code!  I spoke with the administrator of
the server and he has no idea.  They are using PHP 4.0.2B and we are using
PHP 4.1.2  Anyway...thanks in advance.

[PHP] phpDocumentor 1.1.0rc2 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT

[Greg Beaver]

June 18, 2002
RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc2
http://www.phpdoc.org
Download: http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

The phpDocumentor Development team would like to announce the release of
phpDocumentor version 1.1.0rc2.  This is a release candidate for 1.1.0 to
ensure that all bugs have been fixed before release

phpDocumentor is the most advanced auto-documentation system available for
PHP.  Similar to the auto-documentor included with PEAR, phpDocumentor
parses documentation comments in the PHP source to create hyperlinked API
references for projects.

With 1.1.0rc2 the pre-alpha PDF Converter is greatly improved.  In addition,
a new HTML converter that uses the Smarty template engine
(http://smarty.php.net)
and has no frames is available.  A pre-alpha CHM converter is also included,
which
requires MS HTML Help Workshop, but works.  Through the use of
"Converters" similar to JavaDoc's doclets, phpDocumentor can interface
parsing
output to any template with minimal coding.  In addition, 6 HTML templates
come
with the standard HTML Converter

Other features include:
  --all known bugs in 1.1.0rc1 have been fixed
  --fully 25% faster than version 1.0.0
  --able to directly parse a CVS repository
  --parses any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same
file
  --fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax
   ($string = <<< EOF, for example)
  --greatly improved ease of Converter programming
  --parsing of global and static variables
  --documentation of name conflicts between packages
  --auto-linking to elements in any package
  --error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of
 documentation tags
  --extensive documentation of the package, including a detailed
specification
 for tags and templates
  --open source, GPL

phpDocumentor is fast becoming the standard auto-documentor, and is
used by several PHP projects including PostNuke
Content Management (http://www.postnuke.com), phpRPC
(http://phprpc.sourceforge.net/), and XMap
(http://opensource.under.com.br/xmap/docs/)

To Download, go to http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

[PHP] linux redhat rpm packages

What exactly are these linux redhat rpm packages?  Is this an 'easier'

[PHP] Sessions and variables dum question

[webmaster mbtradingco]

Hi, maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I have a little 
script that is supposed to handle two variables from a session, so when a user logs in:

Session start()
$user = "user"
$pass = "pass"... redirects to another page.

Now on the index page it reads 

Session start()
Global $user, $password;
If (empty($user))
   Die("You need to be registered to see this page")
Else ...

This works fine... the first time you use it, if someone tries to log in, from 
outside, it gives them an error message, the problem is that if I log in correctly, 
and lets say go to another restricted page, while I use the exact same header, it 
always takes $user as empty in the second page, and then if I try to go back to the 
first page, now $user is also empty...

I thought once you registered a variable in a session, it was supposed to be available 
through the global instruction for the whole section, but in this case it seems to 
disappear after the first page... funny, cause I don't pass the variable the first 
time through a post, or get, but rather by registering the variable before going to 
index.

Any ideas, of what I'm doing wrong?

Hey,

you should really teach your webmaser to fix the site. First
I thought "okay, he doesn't like opera" but then .. It's even
a mess in IE5.5. Only NS4.7 which I just had by chance
renders it readable (yet it looks completely different
layout-wise) ...  um. Plain text would have done it too :-)

Re: [PHP] Sessions and variables dum question

[Justin French]

When you're dealing with session variables, it's a good idea to refer to
them using the new global variables.



";
echo $_SESSION['pass'] . "";
}
else
{
echo "not logged in";
}
?>

Of course this is no where near production/secure code :D

have en error in an "if" or similar sentence. then it always tells me 
theres an error on line 1 (ie 5.2 on mac os x).

This is just for a user logged in. It does not affect apache/php/mysql

[PHP] Re: [PEAR-DEV] phpDocumentor 1.1.0rc2 RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT

[Greg Beaver]

This comment is inappropriate, unless you'd like to take on the website
maintenance?

He DID test it in 5.5, and it looked fine.  What exact version and OS are
you using?  There are reported problems with Mac IE 5.0.

There's a plan to fix the site at the end of this week.  To test a website
with IE is very difficult because one must have multiple computers with
different versions of the browser installed.  Our priority has been
phpDocumentor, and it's only been a week and a half with the new site.  We
do not get paid to do this work, and are not intending any harm.  To assume
so is not intelligent.

If you used IE 5.5 or IE 6.0, or Netscape 6.2, Netscape 4.7- or Mozilla 1.0
the website looks quite nice, as these are the browsers he had a chance to
test it in.

http://www.phpdoc.org - works in most browsers
http://phpdocu.sourceforge.net/downloads.php - works probably in all
browsers

Both urls were in the release announcement.

Take care,
Greg

Re: [PHP] linux redhat rpm packages

[Chris Hewitt]

Phil,

The rpm stands for "RedHat Package Manager" and was written by them. 
They have allowed others to use it so the rpm is now meant to stand for 
something else.

The rpm format allows for all dependencies, so it is likely to be less 
problematical than the tar.gzip versions (though it depends on how well 
the rpm installation part was written). The rpm format is intended for 
the unix layouts that use it, tar.gz is more general, though that does 
not mean that tar.gz is any worse.

If you have a full installation of RedHat, you will already have apache, 
php, mysql and postgresql, so the only reason for wanting to change them 
is if you need to upgrade.

HTH

[PHP] sql commnad in a for loop !

[Septic Flesh]

I wanna make the following sql query which looks a bit complicated., and put
it in a for loop too for all days from 1 to 31.

==


for $day=1 until $day=31
{
count how many records (rows) there are in the tracker table,
without counting rows that contain the same "user_id" value,
when the day=$day.
}


==

how do i CALL then each result to display them in a web page ?

Can something like that happen, or shall I repeate the same query 31 times ?
:(

Thanks in advance..

[PHP] cannot find mysql_connect; _pconnect

[Anthony 'Crash' Ciarochi]

I am having trouble connecting to my MySQL database:  The error message I receive 
in my browser is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in ../results.php on line 21

The line in question is a simple db connection:

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "test", "test123");

Similar errors are receieved with mysql_pconnect, and others.  This sounds like a 
configuration problem, but ???

System info:
OS: Linux (Redhat 7.3)
MySQL: version 3.23.49, working normally
PHP: version 4.1.2-7, working normally, except for the database connection utilities

related rpms installed:
php-4.1.2-7.i386.rpm

Re: [PHP] cannot find mysql_connect; _pconnect

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

You need to enable the mysql extension in your php.ini file:

extension=mysql.so

and then restart your server.

[PHP] variable declaration in class

[Jens Lehmann]

Can anyone explain me why the following code causes
the parse error "... unexpected * ... " ?

class test
{
var $a = 2*10;
}

Of course I know why there's a parse error, but I don't
know the reason why PHP doesn't allow this multiplication,
although it allows a statement like e.g. var $a = 20.
I'd be thankful if anyone could enlighten me. I'm using
PHP 4.2. on Win2k.

Re: [PHP] error log apache over 250 mb after 2 weeks! undefinedvariable?

[Michael Sweeney]

It's nothing you have to worry about, but you need to edit your php.ini
file and change the error reporting settings. Find the error_reporting
directives (there will be several, all but one commented out) and
uncomment the one that looks like:

  error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING

For production use, you want to use logging (which you're doing) and
only report the parsing and fatal errors. But you might also want to go
through the logs you have now and find the warnings and fix them, just
for good coding practice. You might also want to set the logging to go
to a file that is not your server log file. It'll make it easier to
manage.

[PHP] sessions trouble

[Leston Drake]

Hello,

I am unable to retrieve session variables on my local server.
I'm using some code like this to test it (thanks to Ed):
--
session_start();
echo ":" . $_SESSION["node"] . "";
$_SESSION["node"] = "10.2";
echo ":" . $_SESSION["node"] . "";
--

Then there is an href link to the same document, to test whether or not it 
can see $_SESSION["node"] the next time.
It can't.
The output for both requests looks like this:
--
Warning: Undefined index: node in c:\program files\apache 
group\apache\htdocs\test5.php on line 3
:
:10.2

test
--

On another server (http://www.lpsoftware.com/phptest/test5.php) it works as 
expected. But I can't figure out why it doesn't work here.
I'm running WinME, Apache 1.3.2, Php 4.1.2

I have cookies enabled (actually prompted so I can 'see' it) for my browser.
Is there some setting in php.ini that I need to change?

BTW, being a php newbie I really appreciate the helpful people on this 
list! You're a great resource.

TIA,
Leston

Cesar,

For the admin users, you set $valid_user but then register valid_admin.
It's a typo.
$valid_user = $username;
session_register("valid_admin");
should be
$valid_admin = $username;
session_register("valid_admin");

Another time, I would have made auth_level in the database a character
field set to
'user', 'admin', 'readonly' or whatever and then just pass it straight
through i.e.

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
 $user_type = $row[auth_level];
  session_register('auth_level');
 }
or even, just let auth_level default to '' if no match found i.e.
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$user_type = $row[auth_level];
session_register('auth_level');


For the record, I don't like using sessions to pass around access
control information, I would force http authentication on every page i.e.

.. check user/password as per above  but using
$PHP_AUTH_USER and $PHP_AUTH_PW

... and then add the following to force an authentication if they
haven't authenticated themselves:

if ($auth_level == '')
{
$REALM = 'My Application';
header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic Realm=\"$REALM\"");
header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorised");
include("authenticate_failure_message.html");
exit;
}


Of course, you can wrap this all up in a function and do extra useful
things
like having a central user database and passing through
application/section/page
information to a single get_access function etc.,etc...

But it sounds like you're too far done your current track to be interested
in that sort
of approach.  And, in any case,  it might not match your style if you like
sessions.
Personally, I don't  like using sessions for anything on the grounds that
they're trying
to retrofit "state" onto intrinsically state-less protocols and therefore
bound to be
clumsy/buggy/limiting.

Good Luck,

George

'statis' is ONLY used inside functions. You need the 'var'
keyword to define class property. This is true for ZE1, I
can't tell if ZE2 has static class properties, anyone else?

Thanks for your prompt answer.If that's the case then, how do I define a

RE: [PHP] sessions trouble

[Johnson, Kirk]

Check the register_globals setting in php.ini. It looks like it is "on" on
the problem server. If so, then you have two choices:
1. Turn it "off"
2. Change your code to this style:

session_start();
$node = 10.2;
session_register('node');
echo $node;

(http://www.lpsoftware.com/phptest/test5.php) it works as 
expected. But I can't figure out why it doesn't work here.
I'm running WinME, Apache 1.3.2, Php 4.1.2

I have cookies enabled (actually prompted so I can 'see' it) for my browser.
Is there some setting in php.ini that I need to change?

BTW, being a php newbie I really appreciate the helpful people on this 
list! You're a great resource.

TIA,
Leston

RE: [PHP] sessions trouble

[Leston Drake]

Actually, I've tried it both ways (register_globals=On and 
register_globals=Off).
Same result with either setting.

[PHP] Re: phpmyadmin - moving data from one database to another

[Taylor York]

Just dump the data and structure to an SQL file, choose save as file, then
run all the code in the file on the next server.

RE: [PHP] sessions trouble

[Leston Drake]

I have register_globals=Off (which is what I prefer to program for).
But if I change register_globals to On, and use the session_register() 
function, it works.
With register_globals Off, using $_SESSION doesn't work.
I thought that $_SESSION would work regardless of whether register_globals 
was On or Off.

[PHP] Ascii Value

[James Drabb]

Hey *,

In C I can cast a char 'j' to an int and get it's ascii value.  Is there a funciton in 
PHP
to do this with a string containing a single char (i.e. "j")?  I could write a big
switch for all the chars of the alphabet, however I was hoping for a better approach?
