Re[2]: [PHP] dynamic - static
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your help,
As I wrote already this issue is mainly because of search engines
incompatibility with dynamic content sites (to be more exact - with
urls containing get parameters, in my case ex. index.shtml?lang=enmenu_id=23)
Which of your described solution would you suggest for my situation ?
Turck MMCache already installed. Now I need to do something with my urls.
There are also problem emulating search engine friendly urls using /
instead of because I use SSI, so I can not use post method in
forms, while using GET it will be a bit difficult to handle all params
correctly, or I'm wrong ?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
Does anybody have any solutions, which makes possible to produce static
pages of all dynamic cms once a day and can be easily integrated into
already made site?
MM Why do you need to do this? Is it because of hosting restrictions,
MM performance concerns, or portability/mirroring (which is a form of hoting
MM restriction I suppose)?
MM There are a number of ways to approach this problem...
MM If your sole concern is performance, judicious use of caching could be
MM your answer. You can cache your code using PHP Accelerator or Turck
MM MMCache, which helps with load times, or you can cache your data by
MM implementing a caching layer between your application and your database. I
MM believe PEAR has some classes designed for this. They basically all boil
MM down to memoizing function return values with the serialize/unserialize
MM functions, and storing those results in files. I have used this method in
MM applications to great effect - a cascading cache that stores database
MM results, page components like navigation areas, and entire pages is a
MM great performance enhancer, but you need to know how to mark and remove
MM stale data dynamically.
MM If you need a static version of your site due to hosting restrictions, you
MM can used a spider such as wget (I think has been mentioned in this thread)
MM to crawl your site and generate a local copy for you. Wget is an excellent
MM one, because it has options like --page-requisites and --convert-links
MM which make it easy to generate a self contained site mirror. This approach
MM requires that your dynamic links all have a slash-syntax, like
MM index.php/foo/bar/etc/. It's very easily implementable in a series of Make
MM rules - I use this method for www.stamen.com, where rolling out a new
MM version of the site is a simple matter of 'make clean; make live'.
MM You can also use the 'page fault' method, which is my personal favorite.
MM Let Apache's mod_rewrite handle your caching and URL-rewriting:
MM 1) user requests page foo/index.html
MM 2) if foo/index.html does not exist in filesystem, Apache knows to
MMredirect this request to bar.php
MM 3) bar.php performs actions needed to generate contents of
MMfoo/index.html, and also creates the file
MM 4) bar.php returns contents of foo/index.html
MM 5) subsequent requests for foo/index.html just return that file,
MMbypassing PHP entirely.
MM This one's sort of a balancing act though. It has been suggested here that
MM you can use Apache's ErrorDocument directive to direct the request to
MM bar.php, but this has the unfortunate side-effect of returning a 404
MM status code with the response. Not really a problem with a normal browser,
MM but when those responses are (for example) XML files used by flash, the
MM 404 causes it to error out regardless of the content of the response. A
MM better method is to use a string of RewriteCond's, like so:
MM RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
MM RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
MM RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
MM RewriteRule ^.*$bar.php
MM Obviously, this method is totally incompatible with any form of actual
MM dynamic content, but you're asking for ways to generate static output, so
MM I assume that's not an issue. The difficulty with this one is the same as
MM with any caching system as above - finding and flushing stale data. I do
MM this by rolling the cache deletion code into the editing functions, but
MM you can also use a cronjob to find and flush files older than some cutoff
MM time period.

Re: [PHP] LiteSpeed Web Server 1.1
Ryan, Thank you for your interest. Our recommendation is, to setup your server environment with Apache first, make sure every thing works, then run LiteSpeed in parallel on different port, sharing the document root, then stop Apache and switch LiteSpeed to port 80. If anything goes wrong, switch back to Apache. The migration could be easier after we finish the Apache conversion tool. :-) For JSP and Servlets, a external Servlet engine is required, Tomcat or Jetty is fine. The biggest advantage of running LiteSpeed in front of a servlet engine is, the servlet engine is protected from being abused, the quality of service can be much better.

Try isolating the '/lang/en...' by comparing $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] against $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and then exploding the result and setting your request variables accordingly. I have never tried this with SSI, so I have no idea what sort of problems you may run into - you may be better off going with PHP includes all the way through.

It is pretty easy to convert from Apache to LiteSpeed manually, depends on what features being used, it could be as easy as changing the document root. What the conversion tool does is that it analyzes Apache's configuration file and set our XML configuration file accordingly, it takes care of details as much as it can. It is handy if you have a lot virtual servers and/or complicate rules for access control. We try to make server administration as easy as possible.

Unfortuanetly that would only work for Text and Textarea types. It wouldn't really for for a select, bcause how do you know which option of the form was selected? How do you select the correct option without knowing what the other options are? Ex, a user uploads a form with a select type like so: select name=Month option value=JanJan/option option value=FebFeb/option /select. Your post value would be Month=Feb, if Feb was selected when the form was filled out. Now, I load the form again, I know that Month = Feb, but how to I now make the form preselect the Option? I would somehow have to parse the form data and look for the select of Month and then look through all the options for Feb and insert a selected statement in the form in that spot. - Original Message - From: Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP [EMAIL PROTECTED]; php [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 12:58 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Saving Form Data [snip] Is there anyway of saving a form with layout and data, without knowing what the fields are?

Re: [PHP] Saving Form Data
Here is the real life idea: A Supervisor, knows nothing about php, creates a simple form, say a time sheet, in something like FrontPage. He then uploads that form to the server. An employee then looks at a page on the server that will retrieve the form data that the supervisor made, and automatically fill in the form action and submit buttons. The employee then fills out the time sheet and submits it. Easy to do so far, the hard part: The supervisor can now get the form data that was filled out. BUT, he sees the data in the same form he created but pre-filled with all the employees data. I know it would be easy to simple print out a list of all the form values and fields like: Hours = 5 Day 1 Week 1 = 2 Day 2 Week 1 = 1 But it doesn't look as nice as the looking at the same form but with the values pre-filled in. Now, I can do this easily enough with and input type=Text fields and textarea fields. The hard but is the multiple choice type form fields, like selects. I think I need some kind of HTML parser that will break up the supervisors form, then insert any values need for the form values and then re-display the form data.

Hello Kevin.
This is just a thought.. I have never employed this method
personally.. but I suppose you could read the page into a string and
use the md5() function to generate a hexidecimal value based on that
string. Store the hex value in a database and compare it against the
new value generated the next day. If anything on the page has been
modified the values should not match. Even the most minute change
should trigger a new value. Obviously you won't know *what* has been
modified only that the page *has* been modified
There are some pitfalls to keep in mind such as if the page contains
dynamic content, if there is a server error, or if the page has been
removed. Thanks to Network Solutions evil Sitefinder you may find it
difficult if not impossible to predict what will be read by your
script if the page goes missing. But this will all show up in the hex
value and you won't know if the page is still relevant until you
personally visit the links.
Too much pittfals and too slow! Really the socket connection only
retreiving the headers is really the best way.
This function is what you need:
function fileStamp($domain, $file)
{
$file = / . $file;
$fp = fsockopen ($domain, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
$header = HEAD $file HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $domain\r\n\r\n;
if (!$fp){
echo $errstr ($errno);
return false;
}
fputs ($fp, $header);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$output .= fgets ($fp,128);
}
fclose ($fp);
$begin = strpos($output, Last-Modified: ) + 15;
if($begin==15) //no last-modified (like yahoo.com)
return false;
$end = strpos($output, \n, $begin);
$time = substr($output, $begin, $end-$begin-1);
return strtotime($time);
}
Polleke
Slow? Hogwash. You're pining over microseconds. Besides most of the time is taken
opening the file which you're doing anyway. Except that the socket method relies on
header information that may or may not be there. I agree it would be ideal if you
could use that information but your fileStamp() function isn't going to work for all
files on all servers.

Re: [PHP] HTML Printing problem.
php coder wrote: Issue: HTML files are to large to print from the browser. We are creating reports that are ++5 mg in size. This is a real problem for the browser. Define real problem. Is your site timing out because the files are too large? I've never heard of a browser having problems with 5 meg files. Try accidentally clicking on a link and having mozilla open it (for a binary file) and you'll see what I mean. It will keep opening the file (regardless of size). We are on a network and can print directly from the server but this means we must convert the html to some printer friendly format. We are using many new standards such as tbody and thead tags to give us consistent header on each page of a printed document. This seems to cause problems with most conversions that we have seen. Well first of all -- this has little to do with PHP. Printing is something controlled by the user. About the only thing you can do as far as HTML and printing go is window.print(); print stylesheets (that can also define page breaks, repeating sections); or if you can somehow guarantee that only IE users will access the page, you can use IE's printing templates (that allow more control, such as standard headers/footers). I think if you were to change your document to a different standard -- like XML -- then you can use that file (with XSLT) to control display (which would allow you more tuned control over repeated sections) and XML-FO to generate different files (like PDF) which allow more stringent control and consistent formatting. Obviously if your format is causing your headaches, you need to change formats.

$difference = time() - $oldtime;
$timesince = time() - $difference;

Hey everyone. I just saw the lightspeed 1.1 release announcement. I know it's not in the rules right now, but I don't think product announcements are really appropriate for php-general. I can see, Hey we've got this new server and we need PHP people to beta test it., but not Hey we've got this new server and we need people to buy it. I would suggest major releases only (litespeed 1.0 announcement ok, 1.1 not), but that draws an awefully subjective line... Anyways, IMHO product announcements should be outlawed here.

Re: [PHP] php unlink a file - is it possible?
Unless you change the permissions of the file, the run the FTP as nobody, run apache as the ftp user, run apache as root (can't believe I even said that... blasphemy!), etc., it shouldn't be possible. If you find a way to do it w/out any of the above, I'd suggest you email the Apache Software Foundation and/or the FTP software people, as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. That being said, would it be feasible to set up a cron job to do this w/ the PHP CLI running as an appropriatly privledged user?

Re: [PHP] LiteSpeed Web Server 1.1
Did I miss the PHP question in this post? LiteSpeed Information wrote: We glad to introduce you LiteSpeed Web Server 1.1. About: LiteSpeed Web Server is a full-featured, high-performance, secure, and easy-to-use Web server that runs on Unix and Linux. It supports HTTP/1.1, SSL, CGI, FastCGI, PHP, JSP, Servlets, GZIP compression, .htaccess, IP level throttling, connection accounting, DoS attack prevention, and instant recovery mechanisms. Installation is very easy with pre-built binary. Administration and configuration is very easy through a Web interface. Changes since 1.0.3: HTTP authentication was re-engineered. An authentication cache was added. Permissions can now be granted based on usernames or group names. An Apache-like required directive was added. Context level access control was implemented. .htaccess support and an .htaccess cache were added. SSL Toolkit was updated to OpenSSL 0.9.7c to address security issues in version 0.9.7b. Our benchmark shows that it is 2-5 times faster than Apache with static content, PHP performance meets or exceeds that of Apache's mod_php. SSL performance is doubled at least.. LiteSpeed Standard Edition is FREE for any purpose of use and we'd like to hear your feedback.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kevin Stone) wrote
Hello Kevin.
This is just a thought.. I have never employed this method
personally.. but I suppose you could read the page into a string and
use the md5() function to generate a hexidecimal value based on that
string. Store the hex value in a database and compare it against the
new value generated the next day. If anything on the page has been
modified the values should not match. Even the most minute change
should trigger a new value. Obviously you won't know *what* has been
modified only that the page *has* been modified
[...]
Too much pittfals and too slow! Really the socket connection only
retreiving the headers is really the best way.
This function is what you need:
function fileStamp($domain, $file)
{
[...]
return strtotime($time);
}
Slow? Hogwash. You're pining over microseconds. Besides most of the time is taken
opening the file which you're doing anyway. Except that the socket method relies on
header information that may or may not be there. I agree it would be ideal if you
could use that information but your fileStamp() function isn't going to work for all
files on all servers.
Ok. no need to argue here. Both methods arn't correct or the most
efficient. If you want to keep a copy of the file you use the GET
method otherwise for just checking modification state use the HEAD
method.
First time getting a page, there are some headers you want to pay
attention to:
ETag:
Last-modified:
[cache directives]
Expires:
Content-Length:
And keep these values stored somewhere.
Then when checking to see if the document is changed or should be
re-requested:
if the document has expired the document should be re-requested
to see if it has changed, otherwise you are safe to assume that
it is the same. Do note that when calculating this, the expired
time is the server time, so you should keep note (when
retrieving the information) the time difference for the
calculation.
if you dont have a last-modified or etag, the document *should*
be considered modified!
(observe cache directives)
if the document has a query string you must check if it has been
modified.
To get the document:
(HEAD|GET) $url_value HTTP/1.1
host: $host
...other misc headers
If you have an ETag, add a request header
If-Match: $etag_value
if you have last modified add request header
If-Modified-Since: $last_modified_value
if the content-length is available send request header:
Content-Length: $content_length_value
The response:
HTTP/1.1 304 Document not modified
-woot.. it isn't modified.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
- it should be considered modified
[other responses could be returned]
If a GET was requested the document will follow the headers. And
well, thats all there is to it. Assignment is due next week :)

Re: [PHP] want to restart session after time out
Well you can change the default from 30 mins to something larger, but that has security consequences... The problem with only closing when the user closes their browser is there's no way of knowing when that happens. Sessions are kind of a hack over HTTP, which is pretty much a stateless protocol. There's Connection: keep-alive, but not every browser supports it, and I don't think there's a way to hook into it from PHP. Plus, things can happen to TCP/IP connections.

[PHP] Variable Nightmare
Hi all, I have a problem that I cant solve, any help would be welcomed! I have a form which is repeated by a for loop, the form has one element an input field. The problem im having is the name of this field for example ive used the following to name it: for loop here input name=value?php echo $x;? type=text size=4 maxlength=2 value=?=$cart_Array[$x][1]? / } So the input name will increase with each loop like so: value1 value2 value3 ... This works fine, the source code from the generated page looks as it should. So the big question is how do I get to the variable name when the form is processed, ive tried everything i know. if I use hard coding it works : $myNewVar = $value1; But the whole point of this is that the values need to be pulled out of another for loop: for loop blah $myNewVar = $valueX; } I hope im explaining this well.

There's Connection: keep-alive, but not every browser supports it, and I don't think there's a way to hook into it from PHP. Well, persistent connections aren't really intended to provide stateful transactions (and they don't). My favorite example to use is Google, because there are two resources that make up the front page: the HTML and the logo. With previous versions of HTTP, unless a persistent connection was specifically requested, a separate TCP connection was established for each transaction. This meant two TCP connections would be created and destroyed just to render Google. Imagine more elaborate sites, and you can see how this can really cause performance problems. By making persistent connections the default (HTTP/1.1), a single TCP connection can be established, and until all necessary resources are received, the same connection is used. This makes much more sense. The Connection header allows you to specify the desired behavior. Oh, and every major browser I am aware of does support it, but hopefully you can now see that it is not associated with sessions or even stateful transactions. Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Variable Nightmare
Yes. PHP supports this feature you need.
for loop $i
{
$temp=value.$i;
$myNewVar = $$temp;
}
Hope it help.

I have a form which is repeated by a for loop, the form has one element
an
input field. The problem im having is the name of this field for example
ive used the following to name it:
for loop here
input name=value?php echo $x;? type=text size=4 maxlength=2
value=?=$cart_Array[$x][1]? /
}
So the input name will increase with each loop like so:
value1
value2
value3
...
This works fine, the source code from the generated page looks as it
should. So the big question is how do I get to the variable name when
the
form is processed, ive tried everything i know. if I use hard coding it
works :
$myNewVar = $value1;
But the whole point of this is that the values need to be pulled out of
another for loop:
for loop blah
$myNewVar = $valueX;
}
I hope im explaining this well.

I'd say [ANNOUNCEMENT] is fine... it's an easy regex ;). [ANNOUNCMENT] would be quite annoying, though! D'oh!

Re: [PHP] Variable Nightmare
Okay I think this is what you want. If you want $myNewVarX too you should be
able to figure it out.
Check out php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php
for loop blah
$myNewVar = ${'value'.$x};
Also, you may want to consider just naming every field value[], which
results in $_POST['value'] (or $_GET['value']) being an array of your values.

If we don't assume any prior knowledge, answering anything would be a huge pain. That being said, I agree that in this case I should have elaborated... It's probably a reach for a lot of list readers. If you have long sessions, the likelyhood that someone will be able to steal the session ID and imitate the user increases drastically. It's called session hijacking, and any google search (or archive search, probably) will yield a wealth of information. Sessions are kind of a hack over HTTP, which is pretty much a stateless protocol. There's Connection: keep-alive, but not every browser supports it, and I don't think there's a way to hook into it from PHP. Well, persistent connections aren't really intended to provide stateful transactions (and they don't). They most certainly are not, but if they could _theoretically_ be used that way.

This makes much more sense. The Connection header allows you to specify the desired behavior. Wow they finally have one image! IIRC, for a long time the logo was several small images that looked like a single image. That way, the whitespace around the letters didn't have to be included in the image. IMHO that was a cool solution. They still avoid superfluous line breaks, which makes me happy... Oh, and every major browser I am aware of does support it, but hopefully you can now see that it is not associated with sessions or even stateful transactions. Okay well then here's another reason not to rely on keep-alive: Users can't copy a URL and paste as an argument to wget -c (or any of the download managers). I'm sure there are many, many more reasons, but I sincerely doubt I'd have to convice anyone not to use keep-alive for sessions. Hope that helps.

[PHP] duplicating databases
I am running PHP/MySQL for a program that I am writing. We will have 100's or 1000's of databases that will be duplicates in structure. The problem is when I make a change to the database, I have to go to every database manually and make the change. All of the databases start with a_ and are on the same server. I would like to be able to have one master database and then run a script when I make a change to it that will get the structure of the master database and check all of the other databases to make sure that their structures match. If not, it will make the change to the other databases. Does anybody know if there is all ready a program out there that would do this? Can anybody point me in the right direction? Or if it is only a few lines of script that somebody all ready has to do this, can you share it?

[PHP] Re: duplicating databases
Check out sqlyog. (www.sqlyog.com) It has a structure sync tool. After making the first change, you could generate a script to make the change to the next database and then take that script and parameterize it so that a PHP script could use it to update all of your database. HOWEVER, A better way to do this may be to re-think your entire schema. Instead of keeping the data in separate but identical databases, put it all in one database but add a key (owner, database, etc) to each table. Then in your selects, simply add to your where clause AND ownerID=x. This way you only have 1 database but your data is kept separate. (Until MySQL comes out with views, then it gets a lot easier.)
