Re: [PHP] script not terminating on user abort
* Thus wrote Dennis Jacobfeuerborn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi! The connection_* function don't seem to work for me and I can no longer determine when the user has aborted the script. When I close the browser window the script just keeps running. (see bug #23163) The body of the script essentially looks like this: while( !$done ) { $con-sendMessage(x); # Send msg to Jabber server sleep(1); } I made an interesting and somewhat weird observation though: If I use the print or echo command in the while-loop once (!) then the script will terminate after the loop has run *exactly* three times after the abort. If I put more than one print/echo in the loop (2-inf) then the script will terminate after *exactly* 2 (!) iterations of the loop after the script has aborted. how is it your knowing the number of times it is going through the loop when the conneciton is aborted? If you know that the connection is aborted why isn't it breaking out of the loop? Do you have some code that can show this?

He'd like to use MS Access to keep the data in, and update the data on the site by FTP'ing Access files he edits on his machine up to the web host. The web host is unix-based (FreeBSD, slightly hacked by Verio, I believe), so this means COM functions aren't available. ODBC was my next thought, but I've never used it, and there are a few things I don't understand. Setting up a DSN is one of them -- apparently this isn't as simple as constructing a string, and all the tutorials I can find seem to involve going into a Windows control panel and making a setting. This of course will not be possible, since there are no windows control panels on FreeBSD. In short: can anyone offer any quick tips on how to use the odbc database functions or PEAR::DB to query data from an MS Access file sitting on a UNIX box?

Re: [PHP] Using PHP on an .html file
Better to do this in an .htaccess file, so you don't incur PHP processing overhead on the entire server (if there are others using it). Apache suggests not using .htaccess files at all because they require a recursive traversing of directories looking for .htaccess files, because some supersede others or something like that. The only way to eliminate the overhead of searching for .htaccess files is to set the Allowoverride directive to 'None' in your httpd.conf file - otherwise, they will be checked for on every request whether they exist or not. The question is: does the additional benefit of using per-directory configuration and selective .html-as-.php handling outweigh the speed gain of not looking for .htaccess files? This depends on the server, how it's used, and how important raw performance is vs. ease of use. Just to quickly return to the original question, I would not use either method - instead I would turn multiviews on, and not use file extensions in URL's at all. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html - michal migurski- contact info and pgp key: sf/cahttp://mike.teczno.com/contact.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Reading an MS Access Database file on *NIX platform usingPHP
Hi, The simplest way i know of to use access from linux is to use mdbtools (a free download at sourceforge). Haven't tried to invoke this from PHP but it would not be all that difficult to create a MDB module. Curt Zirzow wrote: * Thus wrote Giz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Access is a pc database.

Re: [PHP] Reading an MS Access Database file on *NIX platform usingPHP
Hi, One of these ' tricky' windows linux bridging techniques is with JDBC. But that only works for sql server and not for access. This works like a dream if you are on J2EE. can be used with php as well if you don't mind mixing java and php classed. I have also had success with 'ODBC socket server' they renamed themselves and i am not sure of the new name though. It wouldn't matter so much if people wanted to use ms SQL server instead they alsays insist on access :-(( Paul Fitzpatrick wrote: * Thus wrote Giz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Access is a pc database.

I've done this with SQL Server, but it should be possible with anything that can talk ODBC. I would also suggest this. Basically you create a MS Access on his computer and link (with odbc) mysql tables into the MS Access. The only problem I forsee is granting remote access to the server. Seeing that this is on a verio machine, I doubt they'll allow access remotely. Perhaps there is a chance if your friend has a static ip. Either that or export the data from Access in a readable format, and import it at the other end. Yep, and this would be my alternative :) Using CSV files of course!

Best of both worlds, and the open source/free databases mysql/postgresql are used on thousands of websites every day. I share a low regard for Access, and I've got a set of standard forms/code I use to set up a nice interface to MySQL, and I showed it to my friend. He likes that, but there's a problem: He wants to be able to make changes offline, and then sync up. This isn't an uncommon desire... I've run into people wanting to do this before (with Excel spreadsheets, no less). And in fact, it's probably the most convenient way of doing things, as long as they're warned about certain dangers (overwrites from competing unsynced database files). There's a certain cumbersome nature about web forms and the time delay involved in HTTP transactions. So anyway, that's the motivation for using Access here.

I've done this with SQL Server, but it should be possible with anything that can talk ODBC. He gets the interface he's used to, you get a database that can run under BSD. Of course, changes will be reflected in the site in real-time, which may be a good thing or a bad thing. Either that or export the data from Access in a readable format, and import it at the other end. These ideas might work better; especially the latter. If COM doesn't work under UNIX and ODBC can only talk to FoxPro, Access, and other document (rather than server) oriented databases with the help of some special Win32 control panel/dll, then it would seem that the only way to do offline updates that are then synced would be exporting from Access in some standard format. But it seems somewhat odd to me that there aren't any UNIXy (PHP, Perl, something) for parsing Access files. I know there's a few CPAN modules for Excel, but it's interesting that there's apparently nothing for Access. ~ == ~ http://weston.canncentral.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Here is what I have so far (Note this runs on the command line) function sendMail($host, $to, $from, $message) { $prog = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote $host $from $to; echo Program = $prog \r\n; $handle = popen ($prog, w); // fwrite($handle, $message) ; pclose($handle); } The problem I have is I don't know how to write the message. When you manually run qmail-remote $host $from $to You then have to type the message then press control + D Just like the standard mail function in UNIX How can I type Message control + D into the program ? Thanks Kris

If you want to send a message directly to recipient SMTP server, you may want to try this SMTP class enabling the direct delivery mode. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass To actually compose the message you want to send, you would better use that in class in conjunction with this other class for composing and sending e-mail messages. It comes with a sub-class specialized in deliverying via SMTP that using the class above. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I have been reading a great deal about tweaking qmail. I run a newsletter and the fastest way is to try remote deliveries and only add them to the queue if this fails. Maybe I was not clear but my SMTP class does remote deliveries when you enable the direct delivery mode, so it acts exactly as qmail-remote. If you doubt it, just try it. Here is the address again in case you missed it: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass The function that I wrote works I just don't know how to insert the message content. That is what the MIME message composing and sending class does. It composes the message headers and body and calls functions to send messages. It comes with specialized sub-classes for deliverying the messages through various methods. It supports delivery the mail(), sendmail program, SMTP either relaying to an intermedite or delivering direcly to the recipient SMTP server, or even qmail via qmail-queue. I use this class for sending newsletters for tens of thousands of users every day. The direct delivery mode, I only use for urgent messages, like messages to let the users choose their initial passwords. I could add support to deliver alternatively via qmail-remote but I would have to see a good reason to do that instead of using the SMTP class in direct delivery mode. For newsletters I only use the sub class to deliver via qmail-queue because those messages are not urgent. The advantage of using qmail-queue is that it can run many tens of simultaneous deliveries calling qmail-remote. I could run qmail-remote directly from PHP, but I doubt it would be as efficient as qmail-queue. Here it is the MIME composing and sending class address in case you want to try it yourself, as you need. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Thomas - Original Message - From: Thomas Hochstetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 5:33 PM Subject: [PHP] 2 questions Hi guys. I have two questions for you today: 1. Weired login problem I am developinig a site for a conference where i have a login page for members. This page is called index.php and includes different types of modules, according to the type of user logged on. The problem is now following: i have a login function hidden in a class, this function registers a bunch of variables. After the user has submited the details, index.php (which calls the session_start()) calls the login function. Then i check whether a session variable is present ($_SESSION['name']). If yes, we include the members area, otherwise we include the login table again. Now: on my test server (XP/Apache/php4.3.2) all is well. However, on the real server (Linux/Apache/php4.0.x) it just includes the login table anyway, even if the login was successful. I then have to click on the menu link again to include the member script. Why is that? Check your register_globals setting in both ur test server and real server and let me know. 2. Save a large amount of text to a file On the same page i have some type of cms going. The admin users can change txt files which relate to text on some of the general pages. I have now found that it is only transmits a certain amount of text via GET to the function that writs to the files. Is there a restriction on passing text via url? If yes (which will be the case), how could i do this otherwise? Use POST instead of GET method... POST method allows u to even extend the size of data being posted. Hope this helps...

He'd like to use MS Access to keep the data in, and update the data on the site by FTP'ing Access files he edits on his machine up to the web host. The web host is unix-based (FreeBSD, slightly hacked by Verio, I believe), so this means COM functions aren't available. ODBC was my next thought, but I've never used it, and there are a few things I don't understand. Setting up a DSN is one of them -- apparently this isn't as simple as constructing a string, and all the tutorials I can find seem to involve going into a Windows control panel and making a setting. This of course will not be possible, since there are no windows control panels on FreeBSD. In short: can anyone offer any quick tips on how to use the odbc database functions or PEAR::DB to query data from an MS Access

[PHP] Use PHP or MySQL
Hello, This question has been lingering in my mind for some time - Say we have a function such as MD5, which is available on both PHP and MySQL? Which is faster - the PHP version or the MySQL one. Have any benchmarks been made on this? We can use the same question for say... arithmetic operations, string contentation... Thanks in advance. - Sid
[PHP] include () problems
Hi, When I run the line: include (fnord.php); with the file looking like: ?php define (fnord_included, true); function fnord ($arg = true) { // 450 lines return $msg; } ? it prints out the return of fnord() (i.e. $msg). I've checked, and there's no echo or print statemetns anywhere... Oh, yeah, FYI, the pattern goes like this: file: index.php ?php include (standard.php); /* rest of page */ ? file: standard.php ?php /* a few defines */ include(fnord.php); /* rest of stuff */ header (Content-type: text/html; encoding=utf-8); ? and it prints it right up the top of index.php, causing an error with the header statement (although it says the error is in fnord.php - which contains NO header statemtns). ideas?

He likes that, but there's a problem: He wants to be able to make changes offline, and then sync up. This isn't an uncommon desire... I've run into people wanting to do this before (with Excel spreadsheets, no less). And in fact, it's probably the most convenient way of doing things, as long as they're warned about certain dangers (overwrites from competing unsynced database files). There's a certain cumbersome nature about web forms and the time delay involved in HTTP transactions. So anyway, that's the motivation for using Access here. [snip] You could do that without too much effort. Export the data to be synced from MS Access to a CSV style export format, upload it to the server and process it. There are a couple of examples how to handle CSV style data on SourceForge, I believe. -- O Ernest E.

= This message is for the benefit of new subscribers and those new to PHP. Those who do not want to be bothered just filter out the [Newbie Guide] mails. Please feel free to add more points and send to the list. == 1. If you have any queries/problems about PHP try http://www.php.net/manual/en first. You can download a copy and use it offline also. 2. If you can not get answer here try http://www.google.com next. Try searching for php YOUR QUERY and you may be lucky to get an answer within the first 10 results. 3. Glancing through the list archive at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general , you can find many of the common topics discussed repeatedly and can get your answer from those discussions. 4. If you are stuck with a script and do not understand what is wrong, instead of posting the whole script, try doing some research yourself. One useful trick is to print the variable/sql query using print or echo command and check whether you get what you expected. After diagnosing the problem, send the details of your efforts (following steps 1,2 3) and ask for help in the list. 5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like Help!!, A Question etc. 6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing list address [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of replyting to an existing thread and replacing the subject and body with your message. 7. PHP is a server side scripting language. Whatever processing PHP does takes place BEFORE the output reaches the client. Therefore, it is not possible to access the users' computer related information (OS, screen size etc) using PHP. You need to go for Java Script and ask the question in a Java Script list.
