[PHP] Enabling MySQL support Problemmmmm!!!!

[wan nordiana Wan Abd Kadir]

Hello,

I am having problem with enabling MySQL Support. I am using PHP 5 and mysql 
4.3.1

The problem is that when I start my PHP info page, PHP
module gives me an error: "PHP Startup: Unable to load
dynamic library '...' - The specified module could not
be found". BUT THEY ARE!!! A part of my php.ini file
is:

;Windows Extensions
;Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.
;
;extension=php_bz2.dll
;extension=php_cpdf.dll
;extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll
;extension=php_dbase.dll

Are you sure you don't have register_globals enabled?
   

Actually, they *ARE* enabled by my webhost.
I don't really think that's relevant, however, as PHP is storing $name
back *IN* to my $_SESSION data, just because I did:
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$name = "Fooey";
$name is a STRING.
It's not an object.
It should *NOT* be a Reference!
But it is a Reference, so changing $name alters $_SESSION['name']
 

Sorry, meant to reply to list, not just you.
All I'm saying is that Sessions act extremely oddly with 
register_globals enabled.

With register_globals on I believe the global variable, acts as a 
reference. It's not because it's a string, it's because it's a session 
variable, and it needs to keep track of changes to the variable.

That seems to be, what I want _but_ NO PHP is printed after I call this 
function. I turns out that we haven´t got PHP compiled with imap support and 
the setup shows no errors as default (never worked with that, it confused me a 
lot :-)

  i vaguely recall some new (aka 5.04) functions added to the mbstring
extension to handle this.
Hmm... I´m programming on a platform with 4.3.10, so that won´t work for 
me. Might just create my own function since it´s 6 chars that needs to be 
converted...
beware of biting dog when proceeding with mbstring functions, as some is 
buggy for some languages (in my case Japanese)

It's just plain BAD security to trust this value for any real-world usage.

For starters:

PHP use \ as an escape character for $ inside of ""
Regex uses \ as an escape character for $ as a literal rather than
line-end character.

So your \$ should be \\\$, because PHP will "eat" the \\ and turn that
into \ and then PHP will "eat" the \$ and turn that into $, and then
you'll be passing \$ to Regex.

As it stands now, your Regular expression is:
^$[0-9+...
which is basically an invalid expression, as it has a bunch of crap
trailing after the new-line ($) symbol.

Disclaimer:  I'm *NOT* good at Regex.

[PHP] URL restriction on XML file

I have a short script to parse my XML file. The parsing produces no error and 
all output looks good EXCEPT url-links were truncated IF it contain the '&'

My XML file looks like this:

For the sake of testing, my script only print out the url-link to those news 
above. I got these:
f=1
http://feeds.example.com/news/world/quake.html
cat=somecat

The output for line 1 is truncated to 'f=1' and the output of line 3 is 
truncated to 'cat=somecat'. ie, the script only took the last parameter of the 
url-link. The output for line 2 is correct since it has NO parameters.

I am not sure what I have done wrong in my script. Is it bcos the RSS spec says 
that you cannot have parameters in URL ? Please advise.

Re: [PHP] Include file

[James Pancoast]

Try it with double quotes instead:

include( "../includes/$include" );

That way works for me.

And I also hope you're cleansing or filtering $include in some way.

MD> Does not seem to work.

You cannot use variables inside single quotes. Try this:

include "../includes/$include";

Same goes for anything in PHP, i.e.:

$test = "apple";
$word1 = "eat the $test";
$word2 = 'eat the $test';

Try this and see the difference the quotes make.

Best regards,

Richard Davey

Why are you trying to parse this data with a regex? It looks like XML 
data to me so you should be able to easily break the data up using PHP's 
XML functions. If you're using PHP5 take a look at 
http://us3.php.net/simplexml and if you're using PHP4 there a number of 
other options but I'm not familiar enough with any of them to give a 
recommendation.

I presume you meant str_split()

And I think sprintf() is the way togo, it maybe slow, bit it'll be quicker than 
creating arrays, and rejoining.
Not that either method will make a huge difference unless your doing thousands 
of such operations.

echo sprintf('%02x %02x %02x %02x', ($dec >> 24) & 0xff, ($dec >> 16) & 
0xff, ($dec >> 8) & 0xff, $dec & 0xff);

I come from a Windows background so I've never heard of this command and

becasue it's platform specific.

sprintf and "most efficient" rarely belong in the same sentence. :-)

I believe this is going to "win" almost any efficiency test, and is
reasonably self-documenting/clear:

$dec = 23602210718;
$hex = dechex($dec);
echo implode(' ', chunk_split($hex, 2));

Note that dechex only supports numbers up to 0x

In older PHP versions, I believe the limit was lower than that. 0x7FFF
perhaps, based on the user notes.

You may be able to use onSubmit or something similar to make the new
window be the size/look you want with JavaScript.

There's no PHP involved here, though, so maybe ask on an HTML and/or

Nooo!

First of all, the browsers do *NOT* provide any kind of standardized MIME
types.

One will call it text/x-csv, the other text/csv, the other text/plain, ...

Furthermore, you should *NOT* rely on this data coming from the browser.

Any body with HALF A CLUE can forge a POST with *any* kind of type they
want, shoving a trojan shell script into your script with a type of
plain/x-csv

Now you're probably not gonna be silly enough to just go and exec() that
script, but what if they manage to find *another* user on your server who
does just that?

Whammo!  You no longer own your server, they do.

Assume the file you are getting is hostile.

Use the Unix "file" command to analyze it.

Then use your own script to analyze it, and be sure it contains suitable
data.

Change shell_exec to exec, and use the extra parameters to get back ERROR
MESSAGES and ERROR CODE.

Print those out, and Windoze should tell you what's wrong.

Don't use '..\phpunit.bat' -- Use a full pathname.

Also don't use \ at all, I don't think...  I *think* PHP will convert / to
the right thing for your OS.  No promises on that part.

If you *DO* use \, you should use \\, even inside '', just case your
filename ever has a ' in it or you ever need to use variables, switch to
"", and suddenly it "doesn't work" because now \n isn't what it once was.

Also add $myError argument, and do:

You would be much better off looping through the files. I avoid

That is q-encoding. PHP has a function for encoding as quoted-printable

You may want to try this class that comes with support to encode headers

[PHP] Execute appliction and pass parameters to it!

[Dipesh Khakhkhar]

  
Hi,

I am trying to execute one application (bat file) and need to pass parameter to 
it. I want to put this into wrapper file which i can call over http. Can i do 
this?

I tried the following:

--

1)  $output = shell_exec('..\phpunit.bat  C:\Run.php');
echo $output;

Result: No output. Nothing happened.

2)  $cmd = '..\..\phpunit.bat';

// Setup an array of arguments to be sent.
$arg[] = "..\..\Run.php";

// Pick a place for the temp_file to be placed.
$outputfile = '..\..\CMDOUT.txt';

// Setup the command to run from "run"
$cmdline = "cmd /C $cmd " . implode(' ', $arg) ;

try
{
echo "Came in try";
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");  
$oExec = $WshShell->Run($cmdline, 3, true);

echo $oExec; // This is not getting printed.
echo "Coming out of try";
}
 catch(Exception $e)
{
echo "came in catch";
print("Caught Exception in " .
$e->file() . " on line " .
$e->line() . "\n");
}
Result: Nothing is happening. It is printing both the statements in the try 
block.

3) $firstArg = "C:\\..\\..\\Run.php";
$output = exec("C:\\..\\..\\phpunit.bat  $firstArg"); 

Result: Still nothing is happening.

4)$output = exec("C:\\..\\..\\phpunit.bat  $firstArg 2>&1", $myOut);
echo "My out value is ".$myOut;
Result: My out value is Array operable program or batch file.

You can use javascript to find out the extension from

You can use accept atribute of  element. I'm not sure why it's a 
form atribute, if it was part  would be better. But I 
don't know of any browser respecting this.

accept = content-type-list [CI]
This attribute specifies a comma-separated list of content types 
that a server processing this form will handle correctly. User agents 
may use this information to filter out non-conforming files when 
prompting a user to select files to be sent to the server (cf. the INPUT 
element when type="file").

I don't want to litter my later code with $_SESSION['name'], basically.
[shrug]

I'm still used to the old register_globals being "ON" so I basically
import the variables I want to use from there they should come from, and
add scrubbing after the logic is right.

I'll be wiping the database and starting fresh from my SQL script after
that, so an SQL injection over the next couple days won't do much.

Magic quotes is on.

The SQL is correct, and works just fine.

I don't trust browsers to cache or not cache style sheets correctly, nor

Again, I don't care about short open tags not being ON on your server. 
They're on for mine, and always will be, and this code is not intended to
ever be ported anywhere.

If you wanted the source to play with as a starting point, I could probably

A badly broken (the MySQL database isn't set up) copy is found here:

When there are events, it shows an icon on that day that you can click on 
that'll bring up a popup window with details for the event.

Again, it was one of my first PHP projects and is BADLY in need of updating, 
but it does basicly what you were looking for I think.

Here's an snippet that should help you on the way - although people can
fool about with filetypes so be careful.

//The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. 
$userfile_type=$_FILES['userfile']['type'];

switch ($userfile_type) 
{
case "text/x-csv" : 
echo "\nFile is in CSV format."; 
break;

default : // code to do something;
echo "\nProblem: file is not in correct format.";

All of those $_POST elements *ARE* arrays because the HTML has
NAME="year[...]"

For pre-existing slots, they have a valid slot_id in the array index.

For the one NEW item to be inserted, I used the key [NULL] which in HTTP
turns into 'NULL' as an index into the array.

In other words, if there were 3 pre-exsiting slots, and the user fills in
the "NEW" date to add, and I did:
var_dump($_POST['date']);
I'd get something not unlike:
array('1'=>'2005-04-01', '2'=>'2005-04-04', '3'=>'2005-04-05',

Thus, $year = $_POST['year']; gets me the whole array, and then $year =
$year['NULL'] gets me the NEW year they are asking me to insert.

I dunno why this seemed so confusing, but it makes perfect sense to me.

[PHP] filtering uploaded files

[Cima]

hi,

id like to know if there is a way to filter or specify what type of files id 
like uploaded to my server. for example, if i make a form to upload image 
files, when i click browse there are 2 fields one that'll store the file 
name(of the file selected) and the other filetype (usually say all types) what 
id like is to specify in file type : *.jpg,*gif etc. is this possible?

thanx.

Re: [PHP] Storing data structires in DB

[GamblerZG]

WDDX is an unusual extension for most of the hosting providers. And 
writing my own XML serialization mechanism is an overkill. Moreover, XML 
is not-compact, harder to edit and probably slower to parse.

Compare this:

3.1415926
AustinNovato
Seattle
(taken from php manual)
to this
a:2:{i:0;d:3.141592606840537025709636509418487548828125;i:1;a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Austin";i:1;s:6:"Novato";i:2;s:6:"Seattle";}}
(Number is given exactly as it was output by serialize. What a happy 
coincidence.)

and to this
array(3.1415926,array('Austin','Novato','Seattle'))
(which could be reduced even more by elliminating the outer array() 
statement)

I'm surprised that there is no way to safely serialize and unserialize 
things using the same syntax as PHP itself uses. I can, of course, write 
PHP data structure parser in PHP, but that's twisted way of doing  it, 
and it will be *slow*.

Our documentation needs aren't extensive, so I think I got enough of a feel for 
phpDocumentor to do what we want to do, but one thing I don't see that would be 
really nice is the ability to do some kind of changelog type thing on at least 
pages if not individual functions and such.
Our current documentation is structured like this:

In this case, I'm not sure what phpDocumentor would do with the

Any thoughts on how I can do this the 'right' way and possibly do some kind of

Re: [PHP] How to sort that array?

[Merlin]

hmm.. I am not sure if JS is the best sollution for that. I am pretty sure that 
there is a way with php for that.

The basic problem comes down to not be able to sort an array customized.
Lets take this array as an example:
$code[language]= array("1"=> "php", "2"=> "asp");
There must for sure be a way to pull the values out of that array by "first in 
first out".

I am stuck with this, but it seems logical that there is a way around it.
Thank you for any help on that problem,

So, I can limit the amount of times the WHOLE SCRIPT is run , say once
every 24 hours at most. Also, If i just updated it, I can delete the
cached version, and a new one is made.
Sure, the script is slow... but page loads are fast becuase (unless

Hi there,

So I placed those values into associative arrays:

Now I would like to sort those for displaying after my preference, not by lets

$code[language]= array("2"=> "asp", "1"=> "php");
But this of course does not work. I would like to be able to place values later
on inbetween. So if somebody comes up with a language called ".net" :-) I would
like to place it in the middle, but I cant get it to work like that :-(
To build the select box I use following code:

# build the select field
for ($i=1; $i <= count($code[education]); $i++){
if ($education)
$isselected = ($i == $education) ? " selected" : ""; // select the
active row
else
$isselected = FALSE;
printf ("%s\n", $i, $isselected,

Re: [PHP] rawurldecode

[Aaron Todd]

I got it.  After you said I shouldn't need it I started playing around and 
found that you were right...I didnt need it for spaces and other 
punctuation.  But I was then having a problem with amperstands.  It was 
dropping everything after an amperstand off.  I ended up doing a 
rawurldecode of $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] and then a strrchr() on it to 
return everything past the "=" sign.  Then I had to do a substr() to get rid 
of the "=".  Its probably a long way of doing this and I know it probably 
wont work if I add a second variable to the url, but I have already taken 
precautions against that.  This should work unless anyone see's amore major 
security issue with it.

$end = strlen(strrchr(rawurldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]),"="));
echo substr(strrchr(rawurldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]),"="), 1, 
$end);

You should not need it, %20 is decoded to space and as such is already in

if you don't intend to use the $conn var why initialize it?:
mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbusername, $dbpassword) or die("Unable to 
connect to DB: " . mysql_error());

  echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
  exit;
}
if (!mysql_select_db("$dbname")) {
  echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
  exit;
}
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM sidebar
";
$sidebar = array();
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!empty($result)) {
again if you are using $sql only in one place then there
 is no reason to not to do the following instead (given that
the query itself is very short - i.e. legibility is not a problem):
if ($result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sidebar")) {

 while ($sidebar = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$id = $sidebar['sidebar_id'];
$linktext = $sidebar['headline'];
sometimes it handy to initialize vars like the 2 above for 
readability...
in this case you may consider that the expressions are very short and 
therefore
you might want to skip creating the vars:

$left_sidebar[] = "- {$sidebar['headline']}";
>
/* Build sidebar.*/
$left_sidebar[] = "- {$linktext}";
}
}
else {}
the preceding empty else statement if not required you can leave out
the 'else {}' completely.
have fun. :-)

RE: [PHP] php + mysql: binary arrays

[YaronKh]

Hi

First of all you can use the Bitwise Operators to set/clear a bit
Let say $a is '00100' meaning group 2 is set and you want to set group 4 then 
write: $a = $a | (pow(2 ,4)); //using OR Operator
Now $a is '10100'
Let say that you want to unset group 2:
$a = $a ^ (pow(2,2)); //using XOR Operator


In Mysql:
Let say you want to select groups 2,4,5
In your select string you should write something like :

$mygroups = (pow(2,2) + pow (2,4) + pow(2,5));
$sql = 'select * from sometable where groups = ' || $mygroups


Hope I was helpful

I am writing a contact manager in php/mysql.  I'd like to use a binary array
as an efficient way to store information for groups that each contact
belongs to eg:

Field: 'group': 001010 means that the contact belongs to the second and
fourth group.

If the array is of type Byte, it should be able to store information about
255 groups.

Is php/mysql able to handle this?  My specific questions are:

What functions set/clear a bit in an array in php?
How do you query whether a bit is set in mysql?

Re: [PHP] Session data disappearing?

In edit_schedule.phps:

if (isset($_POST['add_available'])){
$year = $_POST['year'];
$year = $year['NULL'];
$month = $_POST['month'];
$month = $month['NULL'];
$day = $_POST['day'];
$day = $day['NULL'];
$time = $_POST['time'];
$time = $time['NULL'];
...
}
after this is done.. 
$year, $month, $day, and $time should all be arrays with a single
'null' (not the keyword null though) item with no value. ie.
array(NULL=>);

what ARE you trying to do, you are making the POST vars global:
$day = $_POST['day'];
OK. (why do you even need to do this? whatever, matter of taste i guess..)
But then you over write their values, making them arrays with that
single element 'NULL'
$day = $day['NULL'];

Re: [PHP] How to sort that array?

[Colin Ross]

What I did in a situation like this (much more complicated though,
with nested select boxes in a form) was use a database, and then
created a php-created javascript file.
The javascript file was buffered, and then cached (saved to a file)
with a timestamp...
So, I can limit the amount of times the WHOLE SCRIPT is run , say once
every 24 hours at most. Also, If i just updated it, I can delete the
cached version, and a new one is made.

Sure, the script is slow... but page loads are fast becuase (unless
its NEEDED) all thats to be processed is a file-read call and such...
not (potentially) hundreds of DB queries.

If you want I can post an example... let me know.

Thanks in advance,

$conn = mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbusername, $dbpassword);
if (!$conn) {
if you don't intend to use the $conn var why initialize it?:
mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbusername, $dbpassword) or die("Unable to connect to DB: 
" . mysql_error());
  echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
  exit;
}
if (!mysql_select_db("$dbname")) {
  echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
  exit;
}
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM sidebar
";
$sidebar = array();
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!empty($result)) {
again if you are using $sql only in one place then there
 is no reason to not to do the following instead (given that
the query itself is very short - i.e. legibility is not a problem):
if ($result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sidebar")) {

 while ($sidebar = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$id = $sidebar['sidebar_id'];
$linktext = $sidebar['headline'];
sometimes it handy to initialize vars like the 2 above for readability...
in this case you may consider that the expressions are very short and therefore
you might want to skip creating the vars:
$left_sidebar[] = "- {$sidebar['headline']}";
>
/* Build sidebar.*/
$left_sidebar[] = "- {$linktext}";

}
}
else {}
the preceding empty else statement if not required you can leave out
the 'else {}' completely.
have fun. :-)
mysql_free_result($result);

[PHP] How to sort that array?

[Merlin]

Hi there,
I would like to save some db power by putting values into a file which are often 
used. They basicly populate a select field.
So I placed those values into associative arrays:
$code[language]= array("1"=> "php", "2"=> "asp");

Now I would like to sort those for displaying after my preference, not by lets 
say alphabet. The easiest thing I could think of, is just to move the entry:
$code[language]= array("2"=> "asp", "1"=> "php");

But this of course does not work. I would like to be able to place values later 
on inbetween. So if somebody comes up with a language called ".net" :-) I would 
like to place it in the middle, but I cant get it to work like that :-(

To build the select box I use following code:

---
';

# build the select field
for ($i=1; $i <= count($code[education]); $i++){
if ($education)
$isselected = ($i == $education) ? " selected" : ""; // select the 
active row
else
$isselected = FALSE;
printf ("%s\n", $i, $isselected, 
$code[education][$i]);
};

echo'


Has anybody an idea which could help me on that? Thank you for any help.

Suggestion 1 and 2 may depend of which database you use.
Suggestion 3 have been touched in other answers.

Suggestion 1:
Create a custom function which takes the tableA.ID as parameter and run
a query on tableB and creates an string as answer. I do this in an
application i use PostgreSQL. 

Suggestion 2:
Create an aggregate. I havent yet tried this in PostgreSQL.

Suggestion 3:
Order your sql result and loop over the data.

I had the "problem" and solved it, I believe I posted the answer here too? What 
kinda device are You listening to? I was listening to a switch and got nothing 
using the example from the fgetc manual until I restarted the switch, then all 
the boot info became visual... It reads each byte from the port, so use that as 
a "listen_wrapper", send try some [enter] commands, have a terminal ready to 
check if something goes wrong, try output the buffer, when $char is a "\n" and 
basically know exactly what the device shows and expects. Here´s a hint to get 
You started:

if($fp = fopen('com1', 'wb')) // b for windows
  // send [enter]
  fwrite($fp, "\r\n");

  // listen to device
  while (false !== ($char = fgetc($fp))) {
echo "$char\n";
$buffer .= $char;
if($char == "\n" || $char = "\r") {
  echo "\nBUFFER: $buffer\n\n";
  sleep(3);
  $buffer = "";
}
  }
}
else {
   echo 'can´t connect to com1, got a terminal open?';
} 

Play some more with the sleep and [enter]

Won´t be a problem with fgetc() since You read char by char.
