been doing some more testing. $text seems to stay intact throughout, it is
exactly what it should be. if i do an fwrite( $fp, $text ) then it writes
perfectly all contents of the $text as i would expect. i shouldn't get any
problems with quotes or other characters as the whole lot is urlencode()'d

Yep. You needed to take out those single quotes. You were telling the

Not really. I do know that what you're trying to do doesn't work for bash

bash script, nor a php script.

Ok, but that only makes me realize the further extent of the problem.

If the HTML file that they upload has '<' or '>' entities, then 
these characters will be displayed in the text area as '<' and '>' 
symbols.  So when  the text is submitted from the textarea, all of the 
user's HTML entities will have been destroyed.

Any thoughts on this problem?


Yep, of course. :)

If there is a < in the file, when you apply htmlentities(), it'll 
come out in the HTML source as < and appear as < in the 
rendered . So... it's not an issue.

Re: [PHP] Problem occurs when included file includes anther file.

[Christophe Chisogne]

nc01.php from demo.php: ok in root/./inc01.php
Indeed, the PHP doc should be updated on that point.
I do agree with you, after struggling a while for the
same kind of problem :-)
But I've got all explanations below.

Nicholas Robinson wrote:
The directory structure is as follows:
|-- demo.php

require 'inc2.php';
== file inc/inc2.php ==
this is a test
The above inc/inc1.php is ok for testing.And this would be ok too:

Problem occurs when the code is like this

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './inc2.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php')
Your code is not correct, in PHP before 4.1 at least.
The include path is always the one of the (initial) script.
It's "/" in your case. You must use "require inc/inc2.php"
even in inc1.php because the search path in inc1.php
(used by require inc/inc2.php) is '/' (initial script) and not
'/inc'.
NB this behaviour changed after 4.1. Now, the search path is
first the (initial) script, and _if_not_found_there, the path
of the including (parent, included) script.
So your code will somewhat works after PHP 4.1 (unless an included
file has the same name in the including script), but it can't
work before PHP4.1. The best option seems to always use the old
convention, to avoid confusion (and clash in file names, which
could be a difficult to find bug).
It seems that there's noxplanation about this in php manual.Could
someone give some?
Yes, but I think it's really well hidden (in doc users comments)

Look at the comment of "ivo at i7 dot nl" on "26-Nov-2002 08:56" in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
Btw,I am using redhat 7.2 / Apache 2.0.47 / PHP 4.3.3RC1 
I guess your code works on that particular server and
not on another one ?
I had the same surprise that you have, so I do always this now.

1. Use old convention (require './include/inc01.php')
even in included files
2. Use '.' in front of path as show above, just in case (bad php.ini)
In fact there is a more subtle pblm left. The old semantic means
the 'require' in an included file depend on the 'require' of the
including file! Here under an example to better understand.
It happens when you have a subdir (say admin) which contain php
libraries used in that subdir and in the parent dir (can be often)
I suppose an 'old' PHP (before 4.1) as some of the ones I use.
Path:
root/demo.php
root/inc/inc01.php
root/admin/demoadm.php
root/admin/inc/lib01.php
root/admin/inc/lib02.php
Includes:
lib01.php incl lib02.php : require './inc/lib02.php'
demoadm.php incl lib01.php: require './inc/lib01.php'
demo.php incl inc01.php: require './inc/inc01.php'
Ok until now for demo.php and demoadm.php, but add this include:
inc01.php incl lib01.php: require './admin/inc/lib01.php'
Code is broken in demo.php but not for demoadm.php

When calling demoadm.php, search path is root/admin,
includes:
./inc/lib01.php from demoadm.php: ok in root/admin/./inc/lib01.php
./inc/lib02.php from lib01.php: ok in root/admin/./inc/lib02.php
when calling demo.php, search path is root/
includes:
./inc01.php from demo.php: ok in root/./inc01.php
./admin/inc/lib01.php from inc01.php: ok in root/./admin/inc/lib01.php
./inc/lib02.php from lib01.php: KO in root/./inc/lib02.php
Pblm is in lib01.php:
- called from demoadm, we need './inc/lib02.php'
- called from demo, we need './admin/inc/lib02.php'
I guess that's the reason of the change in include/require semantics.
But it can be resolved simply. Here's my solution
1. create root/admin/inc/admconfig.php (all cfg vars for root/admin/)
2. in admconfig.php, set admindir var: " $admindir= './' "
3. create root/inc/config.php (all cfg vars for root/)
4. in config.php, set admindir var: " $admindir= './admin/' "
5. in 'lib01-type' files, use
require $admindir . './inc/lib02.php'
6. of course, include admconfig.php in all root/admin/ php files
   and config.php in all root/ php files
Another solutions left as exercice, as well as asking PHP guys
to update the doc for includes ;-)

RE: [PHP] Problem occurs when included file includes anther file.

[cyz]

Well,if so,why  works?
I didn't change the default include_path.Sure that '/inc' isn't in the
include_path.But it just works.

You see,the include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php" refers to the current
dirctory where the file locates and the PEAR directory.The focus is what
this current directory "." refers to when the demo.php includes another
file inc/inc1.php -- well,to demo.php, without question ,it refers to
where the demo.php locates,but to inc/inc1.php what this "."  refers to
?  '/' or '/inc'? It seems that both are ok except in the case we use
'./'.

Can you confirm that this file is a replacement for demo.php?

"Problem occurs when the code is like this

If so, then it won't find it because you haven't include ./inc in your

Otherwise your example works fine on my machine.

Use exec to execute the command line programs that deal with these 
archives.  Namely tar and gz and bzip2 and zip/unzip.

For single files that are compressed you can use PHP to decompress bzip2

and .gz files if you have compiled PHP --with-zlib and --with-bz2, 
otherwise you must use the command line tools.

[PHP] Re: PHP Newbie needs assistance to highlight a specific item in a frame window

[bill]

Long description, so I'm not sure exactly what you're doing, so I'll restate my
understanding.

You have a frameset with multiple pages.  Pages are called via PHP.  Each page
may be the same but may need to highlight a different name.  You want to
highlight using CSS and IDs.

At heart, here's my recommendation.

Each page in the frame is called via php, let's call it get_page.php

Each page has a different highlight, somehow php must get to know that, maybe as
a result of a survey, etc.  For convenience, let's say your surveys want to
highlight 1234 on the first page, and 5678 on the second.

Don't know your survey mechanism, so we'll use a "Get" request as an example.
So, the first page will be get_page.php?id=1234 and the second page will be
get_page.php?id=5678

Then, in the get_page.php we have the normal css code and we'll add some php to
it:

At the top of get_page.php somewhere we have:



Then later,


//


Note the extra php code in the CSS.  Normal anchor tags () will have .3em
while the anchor tag with id from the GET request should have .5em.  If there is
no highlight the extra "a" line won't be printed in the CSS.

Re: [PHP] Formatting an ascii characters in php?

[Scott Fletcher]

Thanks for the tips.  I did look into this webpage just the same one as you
provided in the link before I post a message in this newsgroup.  That
webpage said, "ascii2ebcdic() is an Apache-specific function which is
available only on EBCDIC based operating systems (OS/390, BS2000)."  Problem
is I don't have EDBCDIC based operating system.  But thanks...

Others know a lot more about email than me, and I don't know if this your 
system is Windows or *x, but quite likely the mail is sent with the 
identity of the web server.

We had this problem using the mail() function at Experthost, as we could 
not track the bounces, they went back to sendmail's "nobody" account, and 
the ones we originated could not be identified.

This isn't an answer, more a musing on what could be happening.

I always indent statements like this :

  if (that) {
do_that();
  }
}

It helps me 'see' the code and also it's easier to track missing braces. I

[PHP] mcrypt Blowfish encryption and Chilcat

Hi all.

I was wondering anyone had heard any issues regarding mcrypt Blowfish
encryption and Chilcat??

I presently have a system with a server implemented in php using
mcrypt-2.4.x and clients who interact with it sending and receiving blowfish
encrypted data. I am unable to touch the clients but want to convert the
server to .NET. However I am not getting the same results and I am pretty
sure my .NET components are correct chilkat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :o)

[PHP] Old version of PHP

[Dan Phiffer]

Hello,

I'm working on an ongoing project that depends on a shared webserver running
an old version of PHP (4.1.2 I believe). Is there any good reason to stick
with an older version of PHP, or might it be a valid suggestion to have it
upgraded to something a bit more recent? I have a notion that upgrade
attempts may have been snubbed out by the way things like register_globals
are now handled by default, the perception being that newer versions of PHP
are incompatible with older code.

Mainly I'm concerned that code I test on our in-house server running
version-current PHP will depend on function calls and language constructs
that the production server's vintage PHP interpreter lacks.

Some questions:
Is there a way to get one instance of Apache to use different versions of
PHP for various virtual hosts?
Is there a way to analyze code for PHP version compliance?
And finally, what is the earliest language version that can reliably handle
a PEAR object?

Thanks,
-Dan

Oops!! Forgot to escape the final $ in the pattern -- should have read:

preg_replace("/^${this->start_num}(.*)${this->end_num}\$/", '$1',
$this->ach_acct_num);

If $this->start_num or $this->end_num contains the empty string (or even
NULL or FALSE), nothing will be interpolated into the string for those
values, so the above (corrected) pattern will still work.  If
nothing-to-replace is signalled by something else, you may have a bit more
work to do...

Because "55" is greater than "14000"... i.e. you're sorting the values as

Never tried but it could work. The only problem is that for basic auth

[PHP] APACHE/PHP - buttons don't work

[Miguel Ribeiro]

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my webserver for apache 2.0.47 with php 4.3.2 on a
solaris 9 box

My problem is... the buttons on the php pages don't work and I can't figure
why this is happening...

Apache compiled like:

./configure --prefix=/opt/apache
--activate-module=/opt/php/distribution/php-4.3.2/libs/libphp4.a
--enable-module=so
--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
--enable-ssl

I've compiled the PHP like:

./configure --prefix=/opt/php
--with-config-file-path=/opt/php/conf
--with-apache2=/opt/apache
--with-apxs2=/opt/apache/bin/apxs
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
--enable-force-cgi-redirect
--disable-debug
--enable-pic
--enable-inline-optimizations
--with-ftp
--with-zlib
--enable-magic-quotes
--enable-safe-mode
--enable-sockets
--enable-track-vars
--enable-trans-sid
--enable-memory-limit
--enable-calendar
--enable-mbstring

I don't know if it is a compilation issue... but I can't see other option
beside this one. Thanks

Regards,
Miguel

[PHP] Problem sortiing dyn query

[Creative Solutions New Media]

Hi

Can someone give me some indication why this might not be working?

$query_Recordset1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM sti_tracking ORDER BY '%s' '%s'",
$reSort_Recordset1,$direction_Recordset1);

the values for $reSort_Recordset1 and $direction_Recordset1 are passed
through from another page.  $reSort_Recordset1 is the files to sort on and
$direction_Recordset1 is the direction (ASC or DESC).

Thanks

As Juan suggested I checked /var/log/messages. The shell script I'm trying
to run is a script that restarts our web content filter. In the script it
removes the pid file so it will be recreated when the application is started
again. The error I'm getting in the message log is "dansguardian: Error
creating/opening pid file." Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks for your help,

Re: [PHP] Flash Actionscript List or Forum

flashkit.com is pretty good. i get a lot of resources from there. as for
lists, i actually don't know any good ones. if your on any newsgroups,
there's a couple in there, but they're not very high volume. nothing like
this for instance.

macromedia also have their forums which can be very useful at times.

if you want to email me your problems tho, i can take a look at them.
basically a variable/function will be global to a specific frame, so if you
want a global variable, i'd suggest sticking it on it's own layer, on the
_root movie. you should be able to access it from anywhere with
_root.variable.

i don't know if flash supports any truely global stuff... although i could
be wrong, coz i'm a flash 5 boy, and haven't done much mx'ing yet...

you most likely are running into the script timeout when people are
downloading the  file.  I would in this case, use fread so you can do
some checking in between sends and if bandwidth becomes a problem you
can do some bandwidth throttling:

set_timelimit(0);
while (! feof() {
  if (connection_aborted() ) {
break; // no need to send the data now.
  }
  fread();
  print $data;
}

I would discourage this for the fact that the referer can easily be
faked.  If you downloads are important to the general public and word
gets out that the referer is your security.. say good bye to your
bandwidth :)

Re: [PHP] setting function variables

[Mark]

Use a database abstraction class (ADODB, Pear, or something from
phpclasses.org). You're trying to assign a variable to a function's
actions, when you can only assign the variable to teh ooutput of the
function.

hm.. intersting you brought this up. 'Ryan A' had mentioned that
the list is Black listed at spam cop.  I think the problem has to
do with that person from @hanmir.com. 

there is a person subscribe to the list (from hanmir.com), of whom
had spammed the list, who's mailbox is full. And every post that
gets sent to php-general is returned, to the user that posted the
message, from [EMAIL PROTECTED] saying the mailbox is full.

My theory is that the administrator of the domain/email/system has
no clue what he is doing and has reported everyone that has sent
mail as a spammer.

This is rather disturbing!

I, as well as others, have tried to get the attention of someone who
has control over this list about this '@hanmir.com' person that is
subscribed to the list to remove him.  This has been going on for
several weeks now.

I'm bcc'ing this to [EMAIL PROTECTED], hopefully someone over there
can help the list out with this issue.

set the server up to change the sent from email address to

this'll not only stop the spambots and spam blockers picking up on
individual email address', but also means that when people reply to all,
that you don't get 2 emails in response.

it does raise other problems tho... but that's my 2 cents...
