The particular shape of your help was non newbie friendly. I think that,
combined with your incorrect assessments made it all the more annoying.
And yes, "WTF" and "you really need to read the documentation" played a
key part also since they were quite condescending, and inappropriate
given your incorrect answers and knowledge of functionality.

Actually at that point I thought, "this guy thinks I'm an noob" and he's
being an arse about it. That's no way to treat noobs that post
appropriate questions.

I certainly explained quite well what the problem was. And as you
assumed I was making a noobish mistake and sent a scathing response to
my problem, I also assumed you were an ass, and needed some kind of
clarification.

YES, this is the original question. Why is it exiting. To which you gave

my post.

If you don't understand the function, then why are you posting answers
as though you do? Someone asks me about quantum physics, I don't pretend
to know and confuse the whole issue.

Yes, if you reply I'll be sure to take the next one off list, but since
you made this public, I'm sure readers would love to see the backdraft.
The above statement is actually an underhanded attempt to get the last
public word while preventing me from a public response. If you were so
keen to have it off the list, then this email I'm responding to, should
have been off-list itself.

I'm calling it as "php -qC foo.php". The fread() should work since it
works on input when I don't have stdin in non-blocking mode. Perhaps
it's a bug. I took a look at the doc on streams again, and it uses
php://input as the POST stream. Maybe it's a bug.

Rob.

How are you calling this script?  I'm not sure how cgi will handle
fread 

With a traditional CGI script  is what is read on POST data
from a form, and php takes care of this.

That is where my confusion is now.

Re: [PHP] Problem with getting non-blocking data from stdin

[Dan Anderson]

I find your responses to my e-mails quite humorous.  Upon review --
aside from a single WTF -- I don't think I was condescending in any way
shape or form.  I was just trying to offer help.

After reading about wrappers, I find it doubly humorous that you didn't
just disregard my e-mail when I asked you why you were using "php://". 
It's not like I said: "php://" isn't a valid protocol.  "http://"; and
"ftp://"; are all PHP supports.  I just said "Why are you using php://"
below?

And I also qualified my statements about fsockopen() and
set_stream_blocking by saying "I seem to remember" and "If I remember
correctly".  And, yes, in PHP 3.0 or whatever it was that was true. 
Hence the "if I remember".

So, it would seem to me that as soon as you got to the WTF you should
have said, "This guy thinks I am a noob".  And at that point you should
have just said "thanks but you're wrong". 

And, just for the record, you never explicitly stated that you needed a
reason to read in only one character at a time.  You just sent a bunch
of code down the pipe.  So it seems quite natural to assume you're just
making a noobish mistake -- reading a char at a time when a string will
do.

Anyways, you are running an infinite loop and I don't quite see how this
is exiting:

while (1) 
{
if ()
else
}

But, hey, more power to you if you've gotten to the level where you
don't understand why people who don't understand some esoteric function
are such muppets.

My original test script didn't set the blocking state to non blocking. I
determined from that that stdin is initally in a blocking state. Since I
typed several characters and none where printed till I hit enter.

Yeah, it was just a test script. But still, if the memory had been
exhausted, it wouldn't be in under a second, and I'd get a core dump
like I usually do when I have a runaway recursive function.

I believe this is not needed, stdin is nonblocking all the time.

this will never exit until php runs out of memory, and most likely

Oh you had to tie another on on. I guess I look really stupid. Hmmm
maybe I forgot to run gdb on the PHP binary instead of on the script. Oh
yes, that's got to be it. I ran gdb on the script, and once again I'm
stupid. Now I'm off to say a prayer that you don't inundate me with more

I don't want to run a script from stdin, I want to retrieve user input
from the keyboard. What the heck are you smoking?

No stream_set_blocking() is the correct function. The others are
deprecated because they are less generic for streams:

This function was previously called as set_socket_blocking()
and later socket_set_blocking() but this usage is deprecated.

This is not what I want, I want individual keystrokes as they come in
form the keyboard. I'm quite sure I know what I'm doing.

Infinite loop, shmoop, the script ran for less than a second. Long
enough for $count to get as high as 2000 tops. I've run many, MANY
scripts as CGI shell script, and never has it bailed from an infinite
loop successfully in less than a second.

I use the term CGI for the mode in which PHP was compiled, NOT, AND I
REPEAT NOT, because I'm using it as a Common Gateway interface.

Thanks for the lesson, I'll be sure to pretend I didn't know what CGI
is. BTW, if I were a newbie at PHP, your message would make me never
want to make another post. Even in the event you are correct, such a
pathetic response is no way to treat those of lesser knowledge. Now go
read the docs, and learn some more before trying to tell me what's what.

Re: [PHP] Problem with getting non-blocking data from stdin

[Dan Anderson]

Why are you using php:// below?  If stdin is a file './stdin' will
suffice (or the path instead of ./).  If you want to run the PHP script
in stdin you should use one of the following:
include()
include_once()
require()
require_once()
See the manual at php.net for pertinent sections...

WTF are you thinking?  You really need to read the documentation. 
Instead of this:
> while( 1 ) 
> { 
> echo 'Foo: '.($count++)."\n";

Try:



Much simpler, correct?

BTW: The infinite loop you have above could be the reason your script is
acting erratically.  PHP kills off scripts after they run for so long --
you may just be catching it in different versions of the loop.

Also BTW: I understand what you mean when you say CGI but not CLI
version of PHP, but I really don't think the term CGI applies in this
case.  CGI means Common Gateway Interface -- or a way to execute
programs in a special directory designed to keep them from r00ting the
system.  In PHP things such as headers are automatic -- no need to type:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

It's a server side scripting language designed to be embedded in things
like web pages and be able to be run without much security concerns. 
(i.e. not running a CGI perl scrip as /usr/bin/perl (i.e. not in tainted
mode) -- ouch!  and these are the silly things users sometimes do)

Those who  do not want to be bothered just filter out the [Newbie Guide]

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

3. Glancing through the list archive at

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.

5. Provide a clear descriptive subject line. Avoid general subjects like 
"Help!!", "A Question" etc.  Especially avoid blank subjects. 

6. When you want to start a new topic, open a new mail and enter the mailing

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 JavaScript and ask the question in a JavaScript 
list.

8. It's always a good idea to post back to the list once you've solved
your problem. People usually add [SOLVED] to the subject line of their

Yes.

From my experience, it will work that way. I don't know if it's that 
way for every version or not, though.

Same thing for AND, too...

function1() AND function2()

If function1() comes out FALSE, then function2() isn't evaluated.

RE: [PHP] Reading URL is changed

[Warren Vail]

What Dan says is true,,, IF there are other form fields on the form where
your user is making his choices.  Since the hotlink fakes a "Get" type of
header, and does NOT cause the other fields be submitted as well, any last
minute changes to those formfields will be ignored by your form processing
routine.

On the other hand, if the click is the only value to be transfer the hotlink
technique should be adequate.

First of all, you can use Javascript to submit a form when the link is
pressed.

Andu has a good idea too, but I figured I'd elaborate:

If you create a form like:

  
  
  


The browser visits the URL:

http://www.foo.com?foo=bar&bar=foo

This is called GET method in a form.  Do a google search.

Note that you will have to URL encode all variables and data.  PHP
manual has a good section.

It isn't much less secure than if the browser sends them. The only
way to secure this method is using ssl on all pages that are
secured.

So what was wrong with include $include_path? The fact that you include it doesn't
mean you have to display it, just that you have access to its script. You can call
a function from the file and use the result for whatever purpose you may chose
without displaying a thing.

[PHP] How can I populate or bypass the mod_auth_mysql prompt

[Daevid Vincent]

I am using mod_auth_mysql to protect some directories. All works great.
However, when someone joins up, I send them a username/pw for them to login
with. What I'd like is in addition, to shoot them into the protected section
so they don't have to login with these credentials (the first time). I tried
to set these PHP variables, but I still am prompted. Is there some other
trick or way to do this?

$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] = $login;
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] = $password;

Yes, the read file is a nested set of queries that populates a js pop up

First of all, you can use Javascript to submit a form when the link is

Andu has a good idea too, but I figured I'd elaborate:

The browser visits the URL:

http://www.foo.com?foo=bar&bar=foo

This is called GET method in a form.  Do a google search.  

Note that you will have to URL encode all variables and data.  PHP

What's the value of "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" when you do a

This is less code and is tested.

$seconds = 86397; // any starting value
$days = floor($seconds/86400);
$days_mod = $seconds%86400;
$hours = floor($days_mod/3600);
$hours_mod = $days_mod%3600;

Yeah I suppose it was :)  There are a couple of reasons.

What they are doing is bad, no email server should autorespond like
that. autoresponders are bad

Now, if they decide to autorespond to your autorespond, you're
going to flood both your network and their network and infinatly
send a message back and forth.

If you don't want to see those messages I would suggest, then, to
have your server send the message to /dev/null.

Ok.. I take that back now.. a 550 should get terminated by the
sender. 

Forget all the above.. cept the first sentence.

Why do you need to set the $var, why not just include $include_path when/where

Not quite what you're looking for, but I'm sure you can figure out how to
customize it

function sec2time($sec){
$returnstring = " ";
$days = intval($sec/86400);
$hours = intval ( ($sec/3600) - ($days*24));
$minutes = intval( ($sec - (($days*86400)+ ($hours*3600)))/60);
$seconds = $sec - ( ($days*86400)+($hours*3600)+($minutes * 60));

$returnstring .= ($days)?(($days == 1)? "1 day":"$days days"):"";
$returnstring .= ($days && $hours && !$minutes && !$seconds)?" and
":" ";
$returnstring .= ($hours)?( ($hours == 1)?"1 hour":"$hours
hours"):"";
$returnstring .= (($days || $hours) && ($minutes && !$seconds))?"
and ":" ";
$returnstring .= ($minutes)?( ($minutes == 1)?"1 minute":"$minutes
minutes"):"";
$returnstring .= (($days || $hours || $minutes) && $seconds)?" and

[PHP] Need to convert seconds to DD:HH:MM:SS

[Daevid Vincent]

So clearly I'm being stupid and this seemingly basic math is beyond my
abilities at the moment. I've tried various things, but can't seem to figure
out how to get the number of days integrated in here for $hh that are > 24.
I've googled for code fragments and can't find one. All seem to deal with
the Epoch and dates. I just want to take a number of seconds and convert it
to days:hours:minutes:seconds...  This function works for what it does, can
someone embelish it to handle days too?

function convertToHHMMSS($seconds)
{
$hoursPerDay= 24;
$SecondsPerHour = 3600;
$SecondsPerMinute   = 60;
$MinutesPerHour = 60;

$hh = intval($seconds / $SecondsPerHour);
$mm = intval($seconds / $SecondsPerMinute) % $MinutesPerHour;
$ss = $seconds % $SecondsPerMinute;

return $hh."h:".$mm."m:".$ss."s";
}

Hey Jay.

Yes, the file is php code.

my colleague just suggested that my popup, on the form submit, can call
another page which just registers the items selected as session variables.
This seems like a good idea. Of course, I will have to reload the original
calling page, edit.php, so it can check those session varibles and amend the
select1 list. I am going to try this, but I would still greatly appreciate
any advice. Thanks, Rich

Re: [PHP] Web server file perms || More than I can chew.....

[CF High]

Thanks for the informative post, Lowell & Marek.

Our host suggested chmod-ing necessary directories via ftp.  Completely
defeats the purpose of my app which is supposed to allow the client to
maintain the site themselves; not have me mess around with directory/file
perms -- ugggh

In any case, I'm more than a little frustrated that the app works like a
dream locally; now, I have to hack around to get it working live.  I'm not a
huge fan of the latest version of php now either.  I was able to open
external files (e.g. http://somesite.com/index.php) with fopen(); no such
luck in this realease.  Getting a freaking "php_hostconnect: connect failed"
error message now.

My mood is down the tubes at present -- waiting for some divine inspiration

Sessions, by default, rely on cookies to propogate the session ID. You are
somehow setting the "domain" of the cookie to the .net address, more than
likely.

There are a multitude of ways you can do it, though. Check your
session.cookie_domain in php.ini. Check if it's being set with
session_set_cookie_params() or ini_set() or if the cookie is being created
manually with setcookie().

Re: [PHP] Opening new browser window

[Brent Baisley]

Why use a javascript to create a new window? Any link can be directed 
to a new window with a simple target=.



"Industry" would be the reference name of the window. For instance, if 
you wanted to refer to it from another window.

PHP is server side, all it does is serve up a resulting page to a 
client. The client has no idea that PHP is being used, nor does it 
care. To answer your question you can't do it in PHP, but you can do it 
using HTTP, HTML and/or Javascript.

btnOK and btnCancel are not instructed to do anything when clicked and 
so there's nothing wrong they are doing! what work these two buttons are 
supposed to do?
I assume
1. btnOK is to post the data to server?
in that case, you should have it as button=submit or
an onClick="javascript function()"?

2. btnCancel is to close the window and go back to the parent page?
in that case also, you should have a onClick function.

[PHP] Session and Server variable problem

[Stephen Schneider]

Hi all,

Have an interesting problem.  Worked on a web site for a client.  They
have the server (IIS) set up and we are using php.  Have been working
with their domain with a .net extension.  To go live, they repointed
their .com domain to the web folder.  Same spot the .net points to.  But
now server and session variables aren't working.  They still work if we
use .net but not .com.  Can't set or read them.  Anyone run into this
before?

Thanks for any thoughts and assistance.

Re: [PHP] PHP Apache (GLOBALS) question

[Frank Tudor]

Thanks for the response.

Ok with php.ini in the ect directory I get a 

Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() 

Without the php.ini file all my functions fail, because Mandrake
linux has all the latest and greatest apache php and mysql
stuff.  so during that build (which doesn't use the php.ini and
frankly I'm not sure where the php stuff is defined in apache),
because before the php.ini files ended up in the etc directory I
had to modify it from the php.ini-dist from the common lib
directory.  

does this help?

Re: [PHP] config file

[CPT John W. Holmes]

From: "Payne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You can use a php.ini-style config file and quickly and easily parse it with
parse_ini_file().

Only security issue to watch for is storing the file in your webroot and
someone being able to call it up and view it plain text. Config files should
not be in the web root. If you HAVE to store it there for some reason, deny
access to it through an .htaccess file, or give it a .php extension and put
a line it it like:

; 

Notice the semi-colon at the end which will make this a commented out line
for parse_ini_file() purposes. However, when parsed by PHP directly (called
through a browser), PHP will hit the exit; call and terminate the execution
of the file and no other lines will be shown.

Someone else mentioned include(), which would mean you'd have a normal PHP
file that defines variables and just include it. This is useful if a PHP
coder is doing the maintaining, but if someone else is changing things, you
have to ensure they don't mess up the PHP code. Using a php.ini-style file
is easier for others as it's less strict on the syntax.

Hope this helps.

Re: [PHP] Web server file perms || More than I can chew.....

[Marek Kilimajer]

You can use ftp functions to create the files, so permissions won't be 
problem anymore.

Hey all.

Got a problem with a site builder app I've spent three months developing.

On my local machine (win2k pro, apache), no problems -- everything works
just as designed.
Today I began testing on the live server; i.e. my client's hosting company
(linux, apache 1.3.27, php 4.3.1)  -- that's when the trouble started.
The site builder app builds static pages based on changes made by users in
our online administration center.  When I test out creating a new site
section; i.e. triggering my make_file function(writes page content to new
file) I receive the following error:
  Warning: fopen(/local_server_path/file_to_create.php) [function.fopen]:
failed to create stream: Permission denied
I've attempted to chmod(777) my testing directory via ftp client, which
appears to work; however, when I fileperms($file_in_test_dir), I get
chmod(644), so clearly I'm not the owner.
Pardon my ignorance here, but I as yet know little about dir/file perms.
Should I contact the host and have them give me sufficient permissions?
Any help so much appreciated as I am completely handcuffed at the moment.

Thanks,

If you create a subdirectory of the root level public HTML directory, then
PHP can create files there, but not in the root level directory. If you
change permissions to 777, PHP can create files there, but it's not a good
idea to have the permissions that wide-open.

You might be able to get your commercial host to change who PHP is running
as from "nobody" to your login identity, then PHP could write to the root
level directory, but you might not be able to -- my main host says they're
changing policy for security reasons to not allow that.

You could put the static files in a subdirectory where PHP will have
permission to create files. But this might require lots of reworking links
depending on your site design, and thus not be a viable option.

You could set up a PHP script to be executed by a crontab as a CGI. Done
this way, PHP can write to the root level directory. This is what I did
recently for a similar problem. The content management system provides a
link for updating static HTML pages. That link (script) writes info to the
database, flagging an update request. Every 5 minutes, a crontab calls the
PHP CGI script that actually does the update. The script checks the database
flag and does the updates if they've been requested (flagged).

Bottom line -- discuss the problem with your commercial host and see what
they suggest.

[PHP] Media Presentations

[Vail, Warren]

I wanted to create web based slideshow and audio media presentations and was 
disappointed by two PHP function sets.  I would love to hear of any others that might 
be available.
 
Tried MING, and discovered that there were at least 3 different versions (all numbered 
version 0.2a) that were incompatible with each other depending on where I installed my 
code.
  Example: 
 
   function swfbitmap 
   1). would in one case accept a string containing image.
   2). in a second case accepted a string containing a file name but not the bitmap
   3). and in a third case only accepted a file handle (returned from fopen) of 
the file containing the bit map and not just the filename.
 
I then tried the SWFlib functions available with PHP and discovered that it is no 
longer supported, and that source is unavailable. (one reason that a version for the 
windows platform is unavailable).  This also means that keeping up with the latest 
shockwave reader features is not possible (which bothers me more).
 
Are there any options I have overlooked?
 
thanks in advance,
 
Warren Vail

Hey all,

IMHO I think that sites selling you virus software (resellers for norton?)
are sending most of those crappy messages saying that they recieved a mail
from you that contained a virus and $insertVirusName has caught it.

chances are if you are scared enought or dont know enough you will probably
visit their link or see where the email came from and..

Just my $0.2 cents.
