Justin,

> Best advice is to post strictly to the newsgroup with a dud email address,

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. I had a hotmail address, but not acceptable. Someone 
did not put it on the "accepted' list. Someone back there needs to accept that address 
to allow that poster to post when using news://news.php.net/php.general. Been through 
that. That's what I want to do now. Who is he? I would like to work something out with 
him.

I've been filtering :)

True, But I could work around that too, when I talk with the chap in charge :)

The problem is NOT the list, but the services like marc that archive the
lists activities... this means your email address sits there in plain view
on MANY web pages for bots to find.

Best advice is to post strictly to the newsgroup with a dud email address,
or use a specific email address for your activities on the PHP list, and
filter out anything to that address which doesn't have [PHP] in the subject
line, which is what I plan to do soon.

Using 'nospam' in your address' prolly doesn't help as much as it used to,
because it's common practice these days, hence spiders probably attempt to
parse it out.

Your spam may be originating from somewhere entirely different from the PHP
list... if your address is on ANY web page accessed via GET (URL, not POST),
it's within reach of the spiders...

Fun huh?

Re: [PHP] Re: PEAR or not PEAR

[Rasmus Lerdorf]

No DB abstraction layer, including MetaBase offers true database
abstraction.  No layer will make stored procedures portable.  No layer
will make your fancy Oracle DECODE() query portable.  No layer will
magically make your MS-SQL triggers work anywhere else.

For any moderately complex database work, you are going to have to write
database-specific code and if you are doing that you might as well cut out
the middle-man and use the faster direct DB calls.

My standard approach is to do functionality abstraction.  Stuff like,
get_user_record(), update_scores(), etc.  Implement these functions for
each database you wish to support and stick them in separate include
files.  Then include the appropriate set based on a config setting so the
user can switch the app between the supported databases.

No PEAR-DB does not guarantee true database portability. Among other 
things, think about for instance date and time fields that are formatted 
differently between databases. PEAR-DB does not assure that you only 
deal with a single format, so you would always have to handle eventual 
differences in format representation in your application which is what 
you want to avoid.

If you are looking for true database portability, you may want to look 
at Metabase which is a much more mature database abstraction package 
that not only deals with data type representation format differences to 
make your database applications really portable, but it also manages 
your database schemas so you don't have to write database specific SQL 
scripts to create tables and other database objects.

All you need to do is to specify a schema in a database independent 
format based on XML and Metabase creates any tables, fields, indexes, 
sequences for you.

Metabase is Open Source and you may find it here:

Hi people.
Does anyone happen to know whether there is a sample script/application out
there which can tell me (and everyone else in the organisation) of what
"john doe"
is doing, and where & when he's doing it?

I don't know a proper name for this type of application, therefor I haven't
found anything in google.
Thanks.

Re: [PHP] How to test if a number is negative

Or, as my teenage son, who is smarter than me, suggests ...

 1 / $x + abs( $x )

which yields 1/0 if $x is neg.  (He didn't go into trapping for the error

Here is a simple class for encoding and decoding:

class encrypt_class{
var $secret;
function encrypt_class(){
$this->secret = 'this is a very long key, even too long for the 
cipher';
}
Function encode($id){
$eid = $iv = 0;
$len = strlen($id);
$id = $len.'-'.$id;
$td = mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_TripleDES, "", MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, "");
$key = substr($this->secret, 0, mcrypt_enc_get_key_size ($td));
$iv = pack("a".mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td),$iv);
mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv);
$eid = base64_encode(mcrypt_generic ($td, $id));
mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
  return $eid;
}
Function decode($eid){
$id = $iv = 0;
$td = mcrypt_module_open (MCRYPT_TripleDES, "", MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, "");
$key = substr($this->secret, 0, mcrypt_enc_get_key_size ($td));
$iv = pack("a".mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size($td),$iv);
mcrypt_generic_init ($td, $key, $iv);
$id = mdecrypt_generic ($td, base64_decode($eid));
$len = strtok($id,'-');
$id = substr($id,(strlen($len)+1),$len);
mcrypt_generic_deinit($td);
return $id;
}
}


Usage

encode($word);
echo "encrypted = $encrypted ";
$decrypted = $e->decode($encrypted);
echo "decrypted = $decrypted ";
if($word == $decrypted){
echo "They match ";
}
else{
echo "Oops they don't match ";

That's not quite what I meant.  *sigh*

Okay, maybe I need to reexamine the problem a bit.  Maybe if I had a 
special file name throughout the file system that a master control 
script could look for in each parent directory.  That would do the trick.

I was mainly hoping for a native solution, though, along the lines of 
what I suggested.

Then searching test.txt for arg1, it was found here:

HTTP_GET_VARS["test_php_arg1_arg2"]

Nowhere else.

Gotta be a server issue?

Yes it could.
To get around it : benchmark & optimize your indexes and queries.

Check into using persistant connections, it is normally a good idea in 
general -but watch out that you don't exhaust kernel resources ...

[PHP] What other list are there?

[Chuck Payne]

Hi,

I am getting ready to start another project that will have to do a lot of
math. So I need to ask some question on how to get php and mysql to do that.
So can you tell what mailing list there because I think that I might have to
ask other list since this is general list, I am I think this might be a
little more advance. Hey, if I am wrong sorry, just thing to make sure a
head of time.

[PHP] Calling an external C function under Unix

[Anna Sotnichenko]

Hello All!

I want to transfer a PHP script with minimum changes from IIS under Win2000
to Unix. My ISAPI PHP script calls some external C-functions through PHP
W32api extension.
Is there a way to call external C-function from PHP-script under UNIX?

Thanks in advance.

Try doing a search for libphp4 in your http.conf file. I know everytime
I recompile PHP and do a 'make install' it seems to think it is smarter
than me and inserts it's own module include line, which I always find
myself deleting. It might be you have it being included twice into your
httpd.conf file.

RE: [PHP] Output Buffering - Am I using it correctly?

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
OK. One of the silly classes fails, saying --

Fatal error: No parent class available in this context in biff.php on line
52

line 52 is --

49 function BiffWriter()
50  {
51  error_reporting (E_ALL);
52  parent::BiffBase();
53  $this->_fill_AA_notation();
54  }

This is on a server with PHP 4.04. Does anyone have any clues as to why it
might not work?
[/snip]

I actually identified this in the above post without realizing it. The 4.04
version of PHP does not support the parent:: directive. Ah well, looks like
we're going to have to clear some time for an upgrade.

Thanks!

What about something like this:

1. Script loads. Script writes everything to some file.
2. Script is finished writing everything to file.
4. Script does a browser redirect and the user starts downloading the
file normally.

It just seems like the server doesn't want to have to deal with
streaming a large database result set to a web browser.

This is something that will need to be done on the Apache level with
rewrites, I believe.  The PATH_INFO hack is a useful one, but if you
don't want to call a script directly, I think you'll need a rewrite.

There also may be another way to do it in Apache, but I don't think
there's anything in PHP you can do to accomplish this.

[PHP] PHP and M$ Access

[Reuben D. Budiardja]

Hello,
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. But can PHP work with MS Access, for 
example if I want to develop a web database application? Does the API exist 
for that?
The system is going to be like Linux/Apache/PHP as the web server, and 
Win2k/NT with M$ Access as the database. I am wondering if php can access the 
database, just like the way it does with MySQL, for example. 

I am not really familiar with M$ stuff, since I usually use MySQL or Oracle. 
But I have a client who insist to use M$ Access. 

Thanks for any respond.

No idea the following worked as expected for me:

Script:


Execute:
php foo.php blah

Output:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
Content-type: text/html

blahThis Works

RE: [PHP] Output Buffering - Am I using it correctly?

[Jay Blanchard]

[snip]
 I am researching some classes 
[/snip]

OK. One of the silly classes fails, saying --

Fatal error: No parent class available in this context in biff.php on line
52

line 52 is --

49 function BiffWriter()
50  {
51  error_reporting (E_ALL);
52  parent::BiffBase();
53  $this->_fill_AA_notation();
54  }

This is on a server with PHP 4.04. Does anyone have any clues as to why it
might not work?
ACCCK! I am so frustrated at this point that I would almost rather write
spreadsheets by hand!

Thanks for your help!

Yes!!! That did it. It doesn't work all the time. For some reason it
fails at times, even with the same image being uploaded, but it does at
least work now. I saw that option, but given that the following text was
preceeding it, didn't give it further thought.

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default
if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = c:\\windows\\temp

Yep. That was taken care of.

I forgot the PHP version on my machine doesn't have the register_globals 
problem.

THAT should work.

[PHP] dynamic website

[Donahue Ben]

I have a general question of a dynamic website using
PHP4 and mysql database.  If there are many, many
users visiting a dynamic website at once, will it
cause the database to be bogged down with so many
users visiting the website?  If so, how do you around
this problem.
  

  Thanks, Ben

I'm using a PHP script. I got a PHP script to run
mysql queries no problem, but the trouble is I need to
pass off arguments to the script (those arguments
shape the queries).

Can you get the server to write it to a file, and then let the client

Believe me, if I could have taken that way out I would have done it. I am
researching some classes, but they all seem to take just as long to create
the spreadsheet.

I'm think you're all forgetting about register_globals being off by
default these days... The following may help:

$argc = $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['argc'];
$argv = $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['argv'];

HTH,

Re: [PHP] Re: Cronjob

[Jason Young]

I can't say I'm really too familiar with the php commandline..

You're using /usr/bin/php (or equivalent) and attempting to use your 
exec() that way?

If you do 'php -?' you'll get a list of commands that you can use, and I 
don't see a way to pass cmdline arguments as variables..

Having said that, I Just went and looked further into it.. if I make a 
test script, and at the top I put:
$hi = $argv[1];

then $hi becomes whatever you've specified as the first argument.. I'm 
assuming this is what you want?

To clarify:
phpfile.php contains:


Running the command "php -f phpfile.php test" returns "test"

Does this help at all??

[Bill Farrell]

Hi Richard,

There are a couple out there... I created one for
myself (V1."un") that does something similar...  It
relies on a couple of support files for mime-types and
icons.  Here's the code... if you like the idea, I can
zip up the icons and extension-to-mime folders and
send it to ya.  My website (www.jwfarrell.com) is
supposed to be online later this afternoon (after a
week of promises from my ISP), so you'll be able to
look at the code in action.

[PHP] Explorer-like "drill down" interface

[Richard Fox]

I have two questions:

1. I would like to build a php page that contains a Windows explorer-like drill down 
mechanism, where clicking the '+' beside an item will expand the sub-items below 
(which can also have a '+' or '-' on the left) and clicking the '-' will collapse the 
item. Is there any existing code for that or hints how I can do it?

2. I have allowed packets through my firewall destined for port 3306, the mysql 
server. So I can connect to the server from a remote machine. Are there any known 
security vulnerabilities in the mySQL server? 

Many thanks,

Rich

Re: [PHP] Re: Cronjob

Jason,

I'm not using a web script any longer, I'm using
command-line (I determined that it is installed on the
server).

I read about $argc and $argv, but when I call the
script passing two arguments, both $argc and $argv are
blank. Is this a php.ini setting I need to change or
somethign?

Arguments to web scripts are done in the format:

So you would use that full string as the lynx path.

Output buffering is doing nothing for you in the given example.  It does not
reduce client side resources... if anything it increases the usage
serverside resources.  Perhaps you are thinking of gz compression?  You
might use a combination of ob* functions and gz* functions to minimize
bandwidth requirments.. but there's no guarantee that your user's browsers
supports it.

How do I pass arguments to the script? I'm assuming

The stuff I've read says $argc should be the count of

Are you sure its not already there? Commonly in /usr/bin. Try a "which

[PHP] Fw: Speed of the PHP Parser MySQL vs. textfiles

[Holger Heinze, Portalmeister GmbH]

Hi people, maybe someone here has experience with this question:

We have to create a CMS System for beginners. For storing data, we have 3
possibilities:


1. Store Data in MySQL, query the database, inlcude the dynamic content via
php.

echo $mysqldata[headline]."\n";

2. Store Data in Textfiles holding the Data like this:



This would mean, we just include the preferences file at the top of the php
script generating the output page. (A lot less coding i think)

3. Generate HTML pages (soc. cache) everytime the user makes changes to his
pages.


I just had an argument with a co-worker and I would like to have your guys'
opinion on this:

Combination 1: Store frequently changed info in 1. MySQL Database and rarely
changed data in 2. Textfiles that are included.

Combination 2: Store frequently changed info in 1. MySQL Database and rarely
changed data in 3. Plain HTML Cache files.

I won't say which one is mine! ;-)

So, which one would you guys prefer, and what do you think is faster ...
Included Textfiles or HTML or MySQL ?

We also of course have to take the time and complexity of the coding into
consideration.

Thanks a lot for any answer!

(Also thankful for urls to php parser benchmarks etc...)

Hi Brandon,

Well, date("h:I") means "display the hours (in 12-hour format), followed by
a colon, followed by a 1 or a 0 depending on whether daylight saving is in
effect", so you're unlikely to get the correct time from it ;-)

Give either date("h:ia") or date("H:i") a try - these are 12-hour and
24-hour times respectively.

[PHP] Output Buffering - Am I using it correctly?

[Jay Blanchard]

Howdy group!

I am outputting a rather large data set to an Excel spreadsheet from a MySQL
database on a healthy FreeBSD server. The Apache server is on the same
server as the database. The code looks like this



Now, even though I have set ob_start() the headers get sent (as it says in
the docs; "While output buffering is active no output is sent from the
script (other than headers), instead the output is stored in an internal
buffer. ")

The Task Manager shows that the processes on my local machine for EXCEL.EXE
go to the maximum available CPU cycles and stays there until the spreadsheet
is either delivered or the system times out. I thought that using output
buffering would lower use of client system resources. Is this not true?

Thanks!

Jay

[PHP] Re: Cronjob

[Philip Hallstrom]

You could setup cron to run lynx or some other command line web browser...
something like:

0 * * * * /path/to/lynx -dump http://server/path/to/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1

Then as the first thing in that script you will probably want to set the
time limit to 0 so it doesn't time out...

[PHP] Cronjob

[Daren Cotter]

I have PHP installed on a Cobalt RaQ550. I know there
are two ways of installing PHP, one as a binary, and
one as an Apache module. I am pretty sure PHP gets
installed as an Apache module for the Cobalt
installation.

My problem, is that I absolutely NEED to run a PHP
script using crontab. The script needs to send
numerous queries to a database every hour. Is there
any way I can accomplish this, directly or indirectly?

Hello,
 
I am trying to figure out why Squirrel Mail is giving the wrong time.  I
did a basic script   and the time is off in that
script too.  I have checked the server time and the server hardware
clock.  They are both on.  Does anyone know a reason that the php time
would be off?  I am thinking maybe a setting in the php.ini or
something?

Re: [PHP] authenticating and redirecting with special access

[Bryan Koschmann - GKT]

Chris,

That is a very good point. As stupid as it sounds, I forgot about the
include() statement (still new I guess, not used to all this extra cool
stuff!).

When I was suggesting the .htaccess, I was thinking more of the "require
valid-user" and thinking maybe the php could tell it whether it is a valid
user, but now as I look at my logs, the php login doesn't actually log the
same type of username, so I guess that wouldn't work.

I'm curious though, the file I need to include is just an html file, and
also has links to others in that same directory (along with images). ow
will this work, since the links would be trying to point to something in a
web location?

Thanks for all your help!

Bryan

That str_replace() you wrote should work.  But you might also try these

Re: [PHP] where's waldo

True. Perhaps.

But, I think, you can actually do something like that WITH php. Say
PHP+Flash or PHP+Javascript...

Of course, if you're able to do something like this just by using
PHP+Javascript (and HTML only), most probably, you can just take a peek at
the code and find out where "waldo" is... ;)

Hi
I have installed PHP on a Windows NT Server 4.0 and it works (almost) fine!
The thing is that I get the "Enter network password" - prompt when I first
go to a PHP-file. Not if I go to an ASP file.

So if I just hit enter in the prompt, I get in to the PHP-page and can
continue surfing.
I guess it has something with Anonymous user to do, but I dont know what?!
