Generally search egines use various hash algorithms to store their data, such 
as B-trees, Hash Tables, etc... Even that, is not enough when dealing with an 
extremely large dataset, in which case expensive hardware is used to provide 
the necessary IO capacity to allow for fast look ups. If you are trully 
interested in how search engines do this, there are plenty of articles 
describing Google's setup in terms of hardware.

As far as fetching data from large MySQL databases it is not impossible or 
slow as some people claim. I have a 4 million record database in MySQL that 
is routinely accessed and most queries on that table are completed in 
0.01-0.03 seconds, speed mostly depending on the number of rows retrieved. 
Keep in mind that your system and database configuration will play a very 
large role in regard to performance once you go beyond a certain amount of 
data.

Re: [PHP] isset($var) && !empty($var) same time!

2002-08-02 Thread lallous


Just use empty() ?!

With error_reporting(E_ALL) you'll get a bunch of warnings if you only use
empty() w/o the isset() !

use isset() first and then check wheter empty or not empty!

so there is not one function that tests for empty and isset same time!?

Thanks for the tips, Justin. Sounds like a good idea.

Do you, or anyone, know if the $_POST vars stay defined even after moving on
to another page? Do I also need to unset $_POST after passing the vars each
time?

Knowing exactly where your variables are coming from ensures the integrity of 
your code and protects it from malicious users feeding it bogus values.

Well I usually choose to POST forms, not GET them, but yeah, I just deal
with the vars as $_POST['var'].

If I'm referencing the vars a LOT, I make regular $vars out of each element
in the POST array:

$myvar = $_POST['myvar'];

If there's a lot of them, I do it with a foreach loop... something like:

 $value)
{
$$key = $value;
}
?>

...will do the trick.  It achieves the same as register_globals, but only
from one source, the POST array.

Use strpos() to find the position of the first space then substr() to extract  
from beginning to the space.

Well, to answer my own question, I found a decent tutorial on using sessions
with the new register_globals off here:

Anyone want to share any tips on how to deal with form vars passed to a

all the $_GET vars?

Weel, I work as a consultant on development of a similar system for Italian 
Government. (instead of Social Security numbers it handles all territoric 
matters and related payments, ownershipd to it... etc ...). BTW: software is 
interfaced via PHP. 

In this database, we have over a few billions of records in some few 
thousands databases hosted on some few hundreds servers physically located 
in some few dozens of regions of Italy. 

We use Oracle for it. And, neigher Oracle does magic here. The system is 
deeply thought and organized in all its details. Nothing is left for "a 
case" and everything is very well monitored and backed up. (not mentioning 
the synchronization methods). 

In my experience, mySQL has always failed performance-wise (when not crashed 
complitely) while trying to keep on a database consisting of 1.000.000+ 
records. 

For large DBs I would reccomend you PostgreSQL as it has, in my own opinion 
(and not to start a new thread here) a better ralational mechanism, which is 
crucial (as Manuel mentioned) to design the right logic within your 
application. 

TIP: look for repeating data in your DB, and try to "compress" it somehow. 
Try to see if you can split and reuse the records. Add more supporting 
tables and so on

They usually use read only DBM like databases that do not have the

There is no reason other than knowing where it came from to choose one method over the 
other?
For *most* applications it would seem that using REQUEST is better planning.

I'm not sure how sendmail works, but I think exim has a setting that you
have to set so it will allow you to send email as a different user.
Maybe there is something like that you need to set for sendmail also.

Yes, MySQL is good but it is not magic. You can stretch it a bit with 
some optimization of your setup, but what often works better is 
rethinking your application. Does it really need to store 3 million records?

Look at the chapter "Session handling functions". The setting of

$_REQUEST holds everything from $_GET, $_POST, and $_COOKIE combined, thus you 
cannot differentiate where the value came from.

If you want to be sure, be specific and use one of $_GET/$_POST/$_COOKIE.

You wan to submit the form and display the results in another frame?
What is you FORM action above?
I assume some PHP program.
You have to submit the form, PHP is server side.
You want the results to go to a certain frame window.
I have no idea, maybe the TARGET="frame window name" attribute as part of your FORM.

Definetly YES, because you do not need compile the scripts before each

Not exactly, but in some aspects it is/will be better like the ability

Other than that, if you're main concerne is protecting your PHP code,

Variables passed via the URL are GET variables.  In v4.2.2 you can use

[PHP] string questions

2002-08-02 Thread webmaster


I know there has to be an easy way to do this, but I just can't find the
answer.  I need to strip out the first part of a text string.  I've
figured out out to strip out the last part of a string using the
following:

$address = (4455 N. 45th St.);

$test = strstr($address, " ");
echo $test;

The variable $test returns N. 45th St. without the 4455.  Is there a way
to reverse this so I can just return 4455?

Thanks,

It's called SuEXEC in Apache and compiled in the core of Apache, it's not a
module.

What it does, it allows Apache to use the Group and User directives inside
virtual hosts.

For example:


  DocumentRoot /blah
  User cust001
  Group cust001


In this case, all files in /blah would be owned by cust001:cust001 and
permissions as strict as 0600 can be given on the files in the directory.
Apache's processes serving requests on this virutal host, will drop
permissions to user and group cust001 as specified in the configuration, so
apache would have access to read it.

In other virtualhosts, either the default user / group is used, or they are
specified uniquely in a per-virtualhost basis.  The other virtual hosts will
thus run with different uid/gid meaning that other virtualhosts will not be
able to include code in other virtualhosts, even when they know the paths.

Because Apache drop permissions to the user/group specified, they will not
have access to read/write/execute the included filename in a different
virtualhost.

The example on my page you looked at does get the stuff from a file, BUT,
it takes that content and puts it into a string.  All the xml_parse()
function needs is the string.  So, just feed it the string you get back

[PHP] Need Help with register_globals OFF

2002-08-02 Thread Monty


I'm trying to use the more secure "register_globals=Off" setting for some
simple scripts that do authentication and use sessions. But I'm ready to rip
all my hair out!

Can someone recommend a good article online that clearly discusses what's
different when you have register_globals=Off? I've spent hours looking
through the PHP site but I'm just as confused as I was before I started. I
thought this setting only affected global variables, but, there are all
kinds of things not working properly, like the header() function. It just
won't work at all with register_globals=Off, but works just fine when I
switch it back on! 

Thanks.

[PHP] Creating variables...

2002-08-02 Thread Ashley M. Kirchner



I don't know what else to title this message with, hence the subject.

I have a script that defines a few variables like this:

$var_list1 = Array(...);
$var_list2 = Array(...);
$var_list3 = Array(...);
etc.

Further down the script I have this piece:

while (list($key,$value) = each($var_list)) {   // which $var_list?
  if ($$value == '') {
$url .= "&".$value."=";
$error = 1;
  } else {
$url .= "&".$value."=". urlencode(stripslashes($$value)) ."";
  }
}


That same script also gets a value ($step) from another one.  Now I need to
figure out which $var_list# to use based on this $step value.  Any suggestion
on how to do this?

[PHP] difference

2002-08-02 Thread Bob Lockie



What is the difference from using $_GET['some_var'] from using $_REQUEST['some_var']?
I think the documentation says either can be used to do the same thing.

What is the performance difference from having register_globals turned off from having 
it turned on?
I assume the default was changed for performance reasons?

[PHP] php backtraces with gdb print gibberish for function name

2002-08-02 Thread Joe Morris


I have have a PHP script that is core dumping, I'm trying to find out
exactly where.  I carefully followed the instructions on

http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php

with a little help in creating an apache debug build using:

http://www.bowiesnyder.com/writings/gdb_apache.htm

however, when I get to the end bit where it's supposed to print out the
function that was causing the seg fault (I've already typed "frame x"
where x is the lowest-numbered execute() call), I get crap:

(gdb) print (char
*)(executor_globals.function_state_ptr->function)->common.function_name
$2 = 0x83a2be0 "´\221/\b\024àJ\bÜï[\b´ì0\b"

where it should say, according to the bugs.php.net page above, something
like:

(gdb) print (char
*)(executor_globals.function_state_ptr->function)->common.function_name
$14 = 0x80fa6fa "pg_result_error"

I can't find any docs anywhere on what else I can ask executor_globals
for... getting executor_globals.active_op_array->function_name returns
one of my functions, but that's not terribly useful without knowing what
line of it caused the segfault.

Any suggestions for futher probing?

Re: [PHP] Vars passed via URL disappearing

[PHP] PHP4 and MySql - Search Results Question?

2002-08-02 Thread Jason Caldwell


I'm using PHP4 and MySQL --

I'm trying to write a small search engine -- got it working, however, what
I'd like to do is return the TOTAL records found.

You see, right now I am using LIMIT within my SQL -- so I only return 15
results at a time.

How do I get the total (say for example there are 2000 records) -- do I need
to COUNT(*) first, then perform another SELECT query for my search?

Or, is there a PHP/MYSQL command that returns the total records matching my
SELECT query irregardless of the LIMIT ??

Thanks
Jason

[PHP] Re: ODBC

2002-08-02 Thread Scott Fletcher


Yes!  Unfortunately, you'll have to install the special driver on the
Linux/Unix becuase of the communication difference between UNIX & Windows as
well as the language difference between these two.  I tried using iODBC and
openLINK.  After 1 1/2 years, I decided that open source code for this is no
good because they are not compactable and it is such a big, big pain in the
butt!!!  So, I ended up moving the website on UNIX to windows.  Why, because
of the way the data type is being coverted between 2 platform and character
length or type is strictly limited.  I have not tried to buy such a $600 or
$800 driver software to see how well it does because it is a waste of money
and MS kept changing the programming in the MS Access and MS SQL making the
drivers useless.

[PHP] Parsing XML into PHP array.

2002-08-02 Thread Scott Fletcher


I'm having trouble getting the XML string to be broken up into the PHP
array.  Here's how it work.  I send the XML request in a string to the
credit bureau through cURL and vice versa.  Most of the PHP scripting I
found everywhere spoke about breaking up the xml tag into the array only
when they come from the file and is use for parsing.  Problem here is it is
illegal to store the credit inquiry information to a file on the server
except temporary storing it in the RAM but then it will have to be destroyed
when it is done.  I don't need to parse it, just want to use the tag name as
the name in the array with the data from the tag as data to that array name.
What is the work around for this??

Thanks,
 FletchSOD

[PHP] Re: Using PHP to reboot the linux server

2002-08-02 Thread Scott Fletcher

First thing first!  Open up the terminal and log in.  Then type the command,
if the machine doesn't reboot or if you got an error message, it meant the
command is not correct.  Once you get the correct command then use it in
PHP.  It's much simplier that way.  If PHP can't reboot the machine then it
mean many things, like no authority to do it or path statement, shell, etc.

For linux, it use "shutdown -r now"
For some UNIX, it use "shutdown -Fr" or "shutdown -r", etc.

The problem is that $info contains not just the LDAP data, but also
a list of attributes, like say $info[2] == "st". I wish that were
never put in there, but we have to live with it now. You either have
to create a new array with exactly you want in the entry (or I guess
remove these extra values, use var_dump($info) and you should see
what I'm talking of), or instead use ldap_mod_replace() using say

$mods["st"] = "stchamged";
ldap_mod_replace($ds, 'uid=testing,cn=online-leagues.com', $mods);

Nah... "" and NULL (and I suppose "\0") are all being changed to the
string "" before PHP attempts to add it. What I think the LDAP server
tries to say, is that the syntax doesn't accept an empty string as
value. I tried to create an LDIF file containing an attribute with no
value, like this:

dn: cn=stig,o=photos,dc=venaas,dc=no
objectClass: photo
cn: stig
description:

and I got exactly the same error from ldap_add(1). So this is in my
opinion an LDAP issue and not a PHP issue. OpenLDAP 2 has more
proper schema checking. Perhaps you could try to turn off schema
checking? Or I guess in theory the syntax for the relevant attribute
could be made more relaxed. You could try to ask about this on the
openldap-software list if you need more LDAP help.

[PHP] Vars passed via URL disappearing

2002-08-02 Thread Monty


I just upgraded to PHP 4.2.2 and am trying to make my sites work with
register_globals turned OFF. I notice, however, that with register_globals
turned off any variables I pass via the URL don't seem to be recognized by
the script it was passed to.

So, if I pass "http://my.site.com/page.php?id=2002";, the variable "id" is
empty when I try to access it in page.php ...

if (!empty($id)) { do stuff...}
else { echo "error"; }

With register_globals OFF, the above produces the error message. With
register_globals ON, it works fine.

I thought register_globals only affected session, cookie and get type
variables? Why is PHP ignoring the variables passed via the URL?

Thanks.

[PHP] ODBC

2002-08-02 Thread Ashley M. Kirchner



Can PHP be used on an Apache server (linux) to connect to a (remote) MS
Access server (NT) through ODBC?  If so, does anyone have examples of how this
is done?  And if not, what other choices do I have?

[PHP] Reading in contents of URL

2002-08-02 Thread Mike C


I am trying to create a really simple proxy using PHP.

Basically, i need to:

1. read in the contents of a URL.
2. get the content-type
3. set the content type for the response
4. write the contents of the URL to the response.

here is what i have thus far:

$dataURL = "http://www.foo.com/data.xml";;
$fp = fopen($dataURL, "r");
$content = fread($fp, true);
echo($content);
fclose($fp);

I am running into two problems. One, the second param for fread takes 
the size of the file / content. how do i get this?

there is a comment at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php

which says to just specify a constant and it will work, but what ever 
number i specify, that is the amount of data that is read.

how do i retrieve the content type?

thanks for any help...

Re: [PHP] Need help to choose hosting!

2002-08-02 Thread Michael Sweeney


I just moved my domain over to phpwebhosting.com. The transfer went very
smoothly and so far I've been satisfied. The only hitch I can see in
your requirements might be the background processes (bots, what?). But
it's probably worth asking them about.

Because sometimes you just want to check if something is set due to null, 
'' and 0 being important.

   $var = '';
   empty($var);  // evaluates to true
   isset($var);  // evaluates to true

   unset($var);
   empty($var);  // evaluates to true
   isset($var);  // evaluates to false

Yes.  They do the same thing.  Couple things to think about, though.  If 
$_GET['op'] is 0, those commands will turn it into ''.  Probably not what 
you want.  Also, though less important, if it's already '', there's no 
need to do the step of resetting it to ''.  Sometimes, a cleaner test is:

  $op = isset($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';

[PHP] HELP with fOpen

2002-08-02 Thread Shane


No lock in the archives, so here it goes...
Greetings all, I am using fOpen to try and create a new file in a local directory on a 
remote server. Each time I run my script is says "PERMISSION DENIED" but the sys admin 
swears the entire directory is set to 777.

Does anyone know if a setting has to be set in PHP for dynamic file creation to take 
place?
I can use fOpen to read a file, I just cant write without the above error.

Please, any help is appreciated, my deadline is looming.

Thanks

- You can use an absolute path. 
- You can also specified all the includes path that will be find by php 
automatically in your php.ini. You might want to specify your /libs directory 
there, if you're including a lot of files from that directory.
Either or both should work

Re: [PHP] HELP with forms

2002-08-02 Thread Michael Sweeney

What do you mean, "return it to a php variable"?

The closest I can come to understanding your question is that you want
the form input in your bottom frame to be sent to another frame in your
top window for submission.

If that's any place close to correct, you need a javascript solution. In
any case, it won't/can't become a "php variable" until it is sent back
to the server. So why not submit the form from your bottom frame with a
target of the frame that you need the variable in and refresh that
frame?

[PHP] HELP with forms

2002-08-02 Thread Dave Leather


Is there a way to read a FORM varaiable into PHP variable.  The kicker here
is the form variable is in a framed window.

Example, I have my main page in a 2 part frame (90%/10%).  The bottom 10%
has a form on it called 'fileform' with one text box called filevalue

-- source snippit --

  

-- end snippit --

Now inside the 90% window, I have ANOTHER frameset (broken into 3 parts.. a
left menu bar, a bottom instructional bar, and a main window.  I NEED the
main window to grab the value from the 'fileform.filevalue' and return it to
a PHP variable.

Any ideas
Dave

Re: [PHP] isset($var) && !empty($var) same time!

2002-08-02 Thread Jürgen


But if this is true what you say, that empty() checks for
not set
   null
   an empty string
   zero

Why would i ever want to use isset() then?

If i understood you correctly, would the following

op = isset($_GET['op']) && !empty($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';

be the same as

op = !empty($_GET['op']) ? $_GET['op'] : '';

?

*confused*

Re: [PHP] PHP Hosting

This has been discussed in great detail before..
but the simplist solution is running PHP in safe mode, it does limit the
user to certain things, but it stops them bringing the server down or
altering others files
