Jeff McKeon [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit dans le message de
news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've just picked up a more advanced book on PHP and it has a lot of
example code in it. I understand most of it but some things I'm seeing I
don't understand. Like the following...

code:



$couponcode = (! empty($_REQUEST['couponcode'])) ?
$_REQUEST['couponcode'] : NULL;



I think this is saying:

If the global variable couponcode is not empty, then the variable
'$couponcode' is equal to $_REQUEST['couponcode'] otherwise it gets a
NULL value.

What's throwing me is the use of the ! and ? and :

If What I suspect is correct, I've never seen an if-then statement like
this. If it is a replacement for an IF-Then statement then it's much
cleaner and I'd like to use it.

another one is:


code:


IF (!strcmp($operator, '+')) {
$result = $num1 + $num2
}



I've looked up strcmp() and know it's used to compair two strings. The
$operator variable in the script that this was taken from is set to
either -, +, * or /. What I don't understand here is what the
! in front of strcmp() means.

Can anyone break down the code for me and explain the parts?

thanks,

Jeff

 That sets a default value for $msgvar so you can call the function

Something else entirely.

I guess you could call them helper scripts libraries.

Example would be: You can program a script to create a switch statement and
then have it prompt you for the number of case statements to add in and if
you want them to break; or not.

Things like that.  Short cuts if you will..

[PHP] How to accept file through http from curl c program??

2003-09-26 Thread Brian Moynihan
Hi there,

Hopefully someone can shed some light for us on this.

We have a client who is sending us a file through a C program which uses Curl. At our 
end we have a php script to accept the file passed through the form. This php script 
works fine using a browser however, it does not pick up what the C program sends to us.

Our php is below, $_FILES contains zilch!! Any ideas?:

  foreach( $_FILES as $varname = $fileinfo ){
$filename = $fileinfo[name];
$tmpname  = $fileinfo[tmp_name];
  }

  $uploaddir = '/usr/local/nameofdir/;
  $uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['filename']['name'];

  if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

$fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);
$string = HTTPS POST of Purchase Order SUCCESSFUL. File Name: 
.$_FILE['filename']['name'].\n;
fwrite($fp, $string);
  }
  else {
$fp=fopen(brianLog2, w+);
$string = HTTPS POST Failed !* File Name: 
.$_FILES['filename']['name'].\nTmp Name:  .$_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'];
fwrite($fp, $string);

  }
?


RE: [PHP] How to accept file through http from curl c program??

2003-09-26 Thread chris . neale
At a first glance:

  $fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);

brianlog1 should either be in quotes if that's the name of the file and the
file doesn't have an extension. Or maybe it's a variable in which case
you'll need to put the $ in front of it..

Hope that helps

Chris

call up the vpopmail executables using system() calls should work just as well.

I know that 3 spaces will be added on to the end of $dbranch


$dbranch = str_pad($line-dbranch_no, 6);

so the value of $dbranch should look like 3  

Is there anyway to right justify the 3 using str_pad .. example still put the 3 spaces

RE: [PHP] How to accept file through http from curl c program??

2003-09-26 Thread Mike Brum
I don't really know much about Curl, but what it -sounds- like is that Curl
isn't sending the proper headers/MIME types to the PHP script and PHP isn't
putting the input into the $_FILES array. You might want to look in your
$_GET or $_POST array for existance of the file to see if it's being sent
there.

Good luck.

Re: [PHP] Form Passed Multidimension Array

2003-09-26 Thread Lowell Allen
 I am trying to find out how to pass a multidimensional array within a hidden
 input of a form.
 Would it be something like this?
 
 input type='hidden' name='all_links' value='$all_links'
 
 Any advice would be forever appreciated...

Here's a recycled reply from a similar question last month.

To pass an array in a form, you should serialize it and encode it, then
after receiving it you decode it and unserialize it. The example assumes
register_globals is on:

$portable_array = base64_encode(serialize($array));

You can then pass $portable_array as a form hidden input value. To turn it
back into an array:

$array = unserialize(base64_decode($portable_array));

there was an excellent class on phpclasses.org that allows you to easily 
crop, resize, shrink, etc, etc, I can't remember its name but I used it 
for a while.

have a situation where clients will be uploading images via a web interface.

We need to process these images to create thumbnails.  In the past we have used
image but have found that the output is somewhat less than desireable and
limited to jpg.
We would like to be able to soften the image prior to resize so it is a little
clearer in the thumbnail, as well as have the option of working with gif, png,
etc...
Comments appreciated.

[PHP] Session info stored on server

2003-09-26 Thread Lowell Allen
What's actually stored on the server when using sessions?

I've built a content management system on a commercial host, PHP 4.3.2,
Apache 1.3.28, and use session_save_path() to specify a directory. When
someone logs in, I check the username and password against the database, and
save username as a session variable -- $valid_user = $username;
session_register(valid_user); If I examine the directory specified by
session_save_path(), I see something like sess_4f5d...0367. Where's the
session variable valid_user? Is it an array element of sess_whatever, or
are session variables stored in memory with only the ID stored on the
server?

A related question -- I thought that by specifying a directory with
session_save_path(), the session data would not be subject to garbage
collection. However, when I examine the directory specified, I don't see any
creation dates more than 24 hours old, and I know there have been instances
where the Mac OS X Entourage/Internet Explorer bug have caused sessions to
fail, so the user never logged out, and session_unregister() and
session_destroy() were never called for those sessions. Why aren't those
sessions still listed in the sessions directory?

Thanks for any insights.

Re: [PHP] Urgent Help

2003-09-26 Thread Jason Sheets
Hello Ho,

If you are using a printer that is postscript enabled (like HP
LaserJet's) it is easy. Simply convert whatever you want to print to a
postscript file (there are several utilities on freshmeat.net they do
this) and then using PHP open a socket to the JetDirect card and send
the data. HP's JetDirect port is 9100. You could possibly install LPR or
CUPS on your PHP server and use the printer that way as well.

Re: [PHP] How to accept file through http from curl c program??

I set the content type to be text/xml in the C program. Just don't
understand it at all. There appears to be no reason why it's not working.

Thanks for your help so far, any more suggestions?

 I don't really know much about Curl, but what it -sounds- like is that
Curl
 isn't sending the proper headers/MIME types to the PHP script and PHP
isn't
 putting the input into the $_FILES array. You might want to look in your
 $_GET or $_POST array for existance of the file to see if it's being sent
 there.

 Good luck.

 Thanks Chris but I don't think that is the issue as the file is being
 created and the script is running through.

 It's just that $_FILES contains no data which it should?? I is confused as
 they say because it works perfectly using the browser ...

  At a first glance:
 
$fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);
 
  brianlog1 should either be in quotes if that's the name of the file
  and
 the
  file doesn't have an extension. Or maybe it's a variable in which case
  you'll need to put the $ in front of it..
 
  Hope that helps

  Hi there,
 
  Hopefully someone can shed some light for us on this.
 
  We have a client who is sending us a file through a C program which
  uses Curl. At our end we have a php script to accept the file passed
  through
 the
  form. This php script works fine using a browser however, it does not
  pick up what the C program sends to us.
 
  Our php is below, $_FILES contains zilch!! Any ideas?:
 
foreach( $_FILES as $varname = $fileinfo ){
  $filename = $fileinfo[name];
  $tmpname  = $fileinfo[tmp_name];
}
 
$uploaddir = '/usr/local/nameofdir/;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir. $_FILES['filename']['name'];
 
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'],
  $uploadfile)) {
 
  $fp=fopen(brianLog1, w+);
  $string = HTTPS POST of Purchase Order SUCCESSFUL.
  File
  Name: .$_FILE['filename']['name'].\n;
  fwrite($fp, $string);
}
else {

RE: [PHP] PHP 4.3.3 Install, Errors??

2003-09-26 Thread Adam Douglas
I finally have my installation of PHP 4.3.3 to work, thanks to your help and
a couple other people on IRC. For knowledge sack here's how I resolve the
problem.

Installed port/packages of...

png-1.2.5p1
jpeg-6b
gd-1.8.3 (built in library of PHP would not work for me)
ImageMagick-5.2.9
zlib (build in. standard part of OpenBSD, /usr/lib/)

To resolve the config: error: fix png.h not found. error I was unable to
do this without making a symbolic link.

cd /usr/local/include; ln -s libpng/*. This would crate a symbolic link of
each file in /usr/local/include/libpng in /usr/local/include.

Than run configure, and everything was just fine.

./configure --with-mysql --with-xml --with-apxs --without-pear
--with-config-file-path=/var/www/conf --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-gd=/usr/local

make
make install

Thanks for the help!


 Unless you need PEAR, you're fine. Try configuring 
 --without-pear. You should 
 really be doing this anyways unless actually need PEAR.

So if I want to create sessions that last indefinitely (as least as far as

[PHP] Test Links...

2003-09-26 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings All,

I am creating a 'links' page and was wondering if there was a way in PHP
to test the response of an outside link?  I'm sure everyone here has
clicked on a links page link and have a No Page Found error because no
one is keeping the links uptodate.  I was wondering if there was a way
when a link was clicked to test the link first to see if it is still
active.  If it isn't active, I would like to remove the link from my
database.

Is there a command that tests the results of link?

Thanks,

Hi doug,

try something like the function given here
http://shiflett.org/dev/php_post.phps and check the returned headers .. 
there will be a field which will contain the status code (200 for 
successful / 404 for page not found etc).

 Open sess_4f5d...0367 in any text editor and you will see your variable
 there.

I can't. I'm unable to open or download or change the permissions. Is it
an array?

A serialized array, yes.

[PHP] Integrating Various Languages in PHP

2003-09-26 Thread Dan Anderson
I just picked up a copy of the PHP Architect magazine this month
(http://www.phparch.com) and they had an article about compiling PHP in
such a way that you can call Java code from within PHP.

How many other languages does PHP support like this?  Can I use Perl,
C++, or other languages without any problems from within PHP?

[PHP] Re: Weird replacing

2003-09-26 Thread Cristian Lavaque
I figured it out already.

if the array has

http://example.com/bbs/index.php?board=1
http://example.com/bbs/index.php?board=1;action=display;thread=12
3

then, the str_replace of that one with the other one that has the
symbols changed, will be
http://example.com/bbs/index.php/board-1

but it'll ALSO change the other one!
http://example.com/bbs/index.php/board-1;action=display;thread=12
3

so when str_replace is looking for a match for the second url, it
doesn't find it, cause it's not the same anymore

I added this, right before the for loop, so larger strings will
be replaced first and shorter last.
   rsort($match_spider, SORT_STRING);

Thanks for listening to me while I was trying to figure it out
anyway :)

 Hi,

 I wrote a code to change the urls in my forum, to a new format.
I
 did it with output buffering and inside it, I used
 preg_replace_callback, which worked great for me. But I shared
 this code with the forum program community and there's a person
 that can't make it work. He says his Apache gets caught up in a
 loop or something. So I looked for an alternative to
 preg_replace_callback. The way I did it is with preg_match_all
 and then changed each element in the array and saved the
changed
 elements in a new array, then I just str_replace using the
arrays
 as find/replace. This solutions worked fine, almost. I use two
 functions to do changes to the urls, one to make them relative
 and the other to change symbols in the query, to something more
 friendly to search-engine spiders. The function to make them
 relative works great with the new method, as it did with
 preg_replace_callback, but the other function, the one to
replace
 symbols in the query, is acting in an odd way.

 Here's function

 ?php
function spider_url($match){
   if(!strstr($match['2'], 'action') || strstr($match['2'],
 'display') || strstr($match['2'], 'messageindex'))
  return $match['1'] . '/' . str_replace(array(=, ;,
 ), array(-, _, _), $match['2']);
   return $match['0'];
}


 if I call it with this

 ?php
/// $scripturl is the var that has the url to the forum
 script, like http://example.com/bbs/index.php
$buffer = preg_replace_callback('/(' .
preg_quote($scripturl,
 '/') . ')\?([\w;=~+%]+)/i', 'spider_url', $buffer);


 it works great and the url


http://example.com/bbs/index.php?board=1;action=display;thread=12
 3;start=1

 changes to


http://example.com/bbs/index.php/board-1_action-display_thread-12
 3_start-1

 but if I do it with this

 ?php
preg_match_all('/(' . preg_quote($scripturl, '/') .
 ')\?([\w;=~+%]+)/i', $buffer, $match_spider, PREG_SET_ORDER);
for($i = 0; $i  count($match_spider); $i++){
   $arr1_spider[$i] = $match_spider[$i]['0'];
   $arr2_spider[$i] = spider_url($match_spider[$i]);
}
$buffer = str_replace($arr1_spider, $arr2_spider, $buffer);


 then the url comes out like this


http://example.com/bbs/index.php/board-1;action=display;thread=12
 3;start=1

 It changes just the first part, up to the semicolon... I did
 other tests and there was one where changed everything up to
the
 semicolon right before 'star'

 I can't understand what's going on, so if someone has a clue,
 please tell me. Thank you very much in advance for taking your
 time reading this.

I've been coding with PHP and mySQL for years. And this part has never sat

there do this...

What I do is have a db.php file that contains:

$db = mysql_connect (localhost,username,password) 
or die (Could not connect to SQL server.);
mysql_select_db (mydb,$db) 
or die (Could not select Database);


Then at the top of every page, I require_once(db.php);

But it just seems so wasteful to keep making that mysql_connect().

Isn't there a way to store the $db result so I don't have to keep
connecting.
And how about the mysql_select_db() part too? Since I'm going to stay in the
same db most of the time.

I thought I read that I can't use a $_SESSION for it, and that's the only
way I know of to have it be available on each page?

[PHP] header ('Content-type...') does not work properly if session_start initiated...

2003-09-26 Thread Alex Shi
Hello,

I have a strange problem with a download script. Here is the situation:
On my development server, the php is 4.0.6 while on the application 
server it is 4.3.2.  I created a very simple code for opening pdf in 
browser. the main part of it is like following:

?
 session_start ();
...

 $docPath = '/path/to/file_name.pdf';
 $pdftmp_name = 'tmp_name.pdf';

 header ('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
 header ('Content-Type: application/pdf');
 header ('Content-disposition: inline; filename=' . $pdftmp_name);
 header ('Content-length: ' . filesize ($docPath));

 readfile ($docPath);
?

This code is working perfect on development server. However
on the application server, it will first ask for confirm downloading
then report error saying that cannot download.

I checked the code line by line and found that if remove the first
line session_start () then it will work in the correct way. However
session is required for this script. I don't understand why it works 
OK on the development server but not for application server.

Thanks in advance for all help!

Re: [PHP] What is the proper way to use mysql db on a multipage site?

2003-09-26 Thread Brent Baisley
It does seem wasteful, but you have to make sure there is a connection 
before you query a database. What if the user goes out to lunch? Should 
you maintain an open database connection for an hour? No, that's a lot 
of overhead.
What you can do is change it from mysql_connect to mysql_pconnect. That 
will make it a persistent connection, which may be what you are looking 
for. It actually leaves the connection open after it's done using, 
which is just what I said you don't want to do. But what PHP does is 
reuse open connections to the database. You could have 30 users 
visiting your site, but only 5 active at any one time. PHP will then 
use only 5 database connections.
You are still making the connection call, but PHP will just say OK, I 
already have one I can use and here is it's id.

doesn't
work. At least not in that format. 

 By putting an img tag in the HTML
 
I am not that dumb. I realize that people send HTML message 
every day using PHP. What I would like to know is HOW do they 
embed images.
 
 
  People send HTML e-mail each day with images using
  PHP...there are numerous discussion on the archive. If you 
  are using plain text e-mail you cannot see images. 

I tried that but it doesn't work. You can see why if you use
outlook and embed a picture. Send it to yourself and then 
view the source code of the email.

   You have to use HTML and include the image with an image tag

Unless I missed something. I can recall seeing anything that 
mentions image embedding. Like I said, I am looking for 
any kind of 
advice

Have you read the manual concerning HTML e-mail?

Well as long as you can suggest a way of embedding pictures into
emails...that'll do :-)

I am wondering if it is possible to embed pictures into
email messages
using this function.

 I'm wondering if anyone ever tests this stuff. ;)

Folks please reply to the list when responding, e-mails responding only
to the sender may get ignored, delaying answers to your questions.

Re: [PHP] header ('Content-type...') does not work properly if session_start initiated...

2003-09-26 Thread Curt Zirzow
* Thus wrote Alex Shi ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 Hello,
 
 I have a strange problem with a download script. Here is the situation:
 On my development server, the php is 4.0.6 while on the application 
 server it is 4.3.2.  I created a very simple code for opening pdf in 
 browser. the main part of it is like following:
 
 ?
  session_start ();
 ...
 
  $docPath = '/path/to/file_name.pdf';
  $pdftmp_name = 'tmp_name.pdf';
 
  header ('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
  header ('Content-Type: application/pdf');
  header ('Content-disposition: inline; filename=' . $pdftmp_name);
  header ('Content-length: ' . filesize ($docPath));
 
  readfile ($docPath);
 ?
 
 This code is working perfect on development server. However
 on the application server, it will first ask for confirm downloading
 then report error saying that cannot download.
 
 I checked the code line by line and found that if remove the first
 line session_start () then it will work in the correct way. However
 session is required for this script. I don't understand why it works 
 OK on the development server but not for application server.
 
I'm not even sure how session_start() can even do a thing like
that.  Unless you have a problem with headers already sent, error.

There was a discussion on this a few weeks back here, but
unfortantly I didn't follow the thread.

hmm.. i think i just rememberd that it might had to do with making 
sure that session.cache_limiter being set as 'nocache'.

Search the archives, the answer is there i believe.

 Isn't there a way to store the $db result so I don't have to keep
 connecting.

Hope that helps.

RE: [PHP] mail(); and embedding pictures

2003-09-26 Thread Jay Blanchard
[snip]
No, but it wouldn't do me any good anyway. I am not trying to link to a
picture residing somewhere else. I am trying to EMBED it.
[/snip]

And snip your replies!

Found in a google search...go figure

Probably the easiest way to do this is to use a mail class PHPMailer
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net The disadvantage of this method is that
you are sending the complete image with each mail which will cost you
bandwidth.

You are close, it was session_cache_limiter('private_no_expire');

So, this function should be called before session_start ()? I will try...

If you have even moderate load on your server mysql_pconnect is going to 
really hurt performance.

The best method I have found is to just make sure the connection code is only 
in one file and then included into each of your scripts.

No matter what, every page load from the webserver that needs database 
connectivity is going to have to connect to the database.

[PHP] static class call..

2003-09-26 Thread jsWalter
Is there a way that a method within a Class, when called statically, can
access a property of that Class?

   Class Foo
   {
  var $_TintBaz = 9;

  function getBaz()
  {
 return Foo::_TintBaz;   // -- line 8
  }
   }

echo Foo::getBaz();

This returns...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting '('
in test 02.php on line 8

And of course, can't use 'return Foo::_TintBaz;' in a statically called
Class.

Is there any hope?

Thanks

[PHP] Search Submission Tool

2003-09-26 Thread Erich Kolb
Im putting together a free web based tool available to anyone who wants to
automatically submit their website to multiple search engines at the same
time.  I know this has been done before, but I haven't done it and its
pretty much a learning experience for me.  It is currently functioning, and
I will be adding some additional search engines, but I was wondering if
anyone would be willing to take a look and offer any suggestions for
improvement.

I apoligize if this is in the incorrect forum, but im looking for as much
feedback as possible.

Thanks,

[PHP] Re: static class call..

2003-09-26 Thread Greg Beaver
Hi Walter,

Not until PHP 5

Class Foo
{
static $_TintBaz = 9;
}
echo Foo::$_TintBaz;

in PHP 4, you can kludge this:

Class Foo
{
function getBaz($set = null)
{
static $_TintBaz = 9;
if (!is_null($set)) {
$_TintBaz = $set;
}
return $_TintBaz;
}
}
