I'm trying to use libxml_set_streams_context() to load a remote xml
file via HTTP conditional GET with DOMDocument::load() by stuffing an
'If-Modified-Since: --- HTTP header into the stream, but no matter
how I try it I always get an HTTP 200 response when I know the last-
modified date is well before my if-modified date string.
I've confirmed via curl -H on the command line that I can do it
properly and get an HTTP 304 as expected, but I don't know what I'm
not doing right with libxml_set_streams_context(). Here's my code:
$opts = array('http'=array('method'=GET, 'header'=If-Modified-

$context = stream_context_create($opts);
libxml_set_streams_context($context);
$doc-load('http://www.somewhere.com/somefile.xml');
echo $doc-saveXML();
Where is your error checking?
I don't know much about that fancy new stream stuff, or the XML crap, but
you've got zero (0) lines of code in there to do anything useful when the
functions fail.
If you ask the functions nicely, they almost always tell you EXACTLY what
went wrong.

Re: [PHP] Mail function
On Tue, May 17, 2005 3:53 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: I have a script which send emails using mail() function. I have 100 email addresses and i set up the script to send 1 email every 10 seconds. So, it will take 1000 seconds to send all 100 emails. My question is: If I stop the script after,let's say 12 seconds, it will send only 1 email or all 100?I mean it is possible that the server to cache all emails and send them if i stop the script? I must say that the script is run through a web browser. If you stop the script before PHP executes the instruction to send the email, then the email ain't gonna go out. Period. Your best bet would be to use PHP to QUEUE the emails up, and let your mail sending software (sendmail, qmail, elvenmail) worry about load and timing. You may also want to consider having the web-based application simply set a flag/indicator somewhere which tells PHP that it's time to queue up all 100 emails. Then the end user won't even have to wait for 100 emails to get queued up in line. They only have to wait for the flag to get set which should take, like, less than one second. There are also innumerable PHP mail classes out there to make sending email easier. http://phpclasses.org has some, I'm betting PEAR has some, and you could Google and find a thousand more. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Refresh (F5) adds another SQL record.
On Tue, May 17, 2005 2:24 pm, Robert Meyer said: Hello, Scenario: 1) User is presented a blank form. with an MD5 hash which is stored in the database as fresh 2) User fills in form. 3) User submits form. 4) Record is added to database. That particular MD5 has is marked as used 5) Back to 1). All is fine to here. 6) User clicks refresh. 7) Another record is added, same data except auto-increment field. How do I prevent these last two steps, or at least prevent a record from being added when refresh is clicked? The used MD5 hash tells you they are re-submitting the exact same form. Now, if the real problem is that the user has a fresh new form, and fills in the same data again by hand, then there are only two possibilities: 1. In the real world, they actually NEED two of the same thing in the database, and your application should allow it. 2. In the real world, users are likely to lose track of where they are in their data entry, and you need to provide them the context to help avoid that. When you go back to 1) present a message like added blah blah blah at the top of the screen. Now they *KNOW* they just did blah blah blah, and can move on to blah blah bleh. Data entry is a sucky job. Make it nicer for them, eh? You STILL need to code for the dual entry, and do something intelligent when they mess up, but you can improve efficiency and decrease errors (where 2 not-quite-the-same-but-really-are-the-same entries pass your tests) if you make your application nicer to the user. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Refresh (F5) adds another SQL record.
Next time, Mukasa, try reading... Robert clearly states that he'd like a
PHP function which TELLS him if the page has been refreshed or not
(thus, resent). There are headers sent out that indicate this, and
thus a function like refreshed() would be a shortcut to getting to know
if it has.
He doesn't ask to FORCE a refresh, or to even execute PHP in a browser

Since you mentioned cron, I assume you are working on linux/unix or similar. If wget is not available, try links/lynx. If those aren't available either, then you can use any of the HTTP classes, such as HTTP_Client (from pear) or my favorite snoopy.sf.net.

Plenty of examples and tutorials on the internet. Google is your friend. Import into MySQL : just use the mysql command line client if its available to you. mysql -u username -ppassword databasename file.sql If it is not, use the regular mysql functions to submit queries (mysql_connect, mysql_select_db, and mysql_query).

You should see a message from your browser that data is being reposted.
I looked for such a message and the only thing I can find is as follows:
1) _SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT'] and _ENV['HTTP_ACCEPT'] and change to */*, but I
don't know if that is the case for all browsers, do you know?
2) _SERVER['REDIRECT_UNIQUE_ID'] and _ENV['REDIRECT_UNIQUE_ID'],
_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'] and _ENV['REMOTE_PORT'], _SERVER['UNIQUE_ID'] and
_ENV['UNIQUE_ID'] change, but I don't think the values are predictable,
especially between browsers.
Do you know of a specific message to look for and is that message the same
for all browsers?
that's a message the user (using the browser) gets from the browser.
Unless you use GET method, but you should really use POST method for
forms that change state on the server.

Re: [PHP] PHP Complex Data Structures
I find PHP arrays easier than Perl's data structures. Probably because PHP just has arrays, there really is no differentiation between arrays (Perl @) and hashes (Perl %). And PHP references arrays the same way as variables ($), which may or may not be confusing. You could probably look at PHP arrays as Perl hashes (name/value pairs). The functions are just about the same: push, pop, shift, unshift, etc. If you think of all PHP arrays as Perl hashes, you should grasp things pretty quick.

PHP is a server-side programming language, the problem you are facing is a
client-side problem. PHP thus would not be able to do browser refreshes!
sorry! Unless of course you have a PHP enabled browser :-)
Your browser caches the information sent from the form and so long as the
page is not reloaded..., the variables are still set and submition of data
may continue indefinately.
Two options,
You may use the php header() funtion for redirection,
or
Resort to a client-side reload using a scripting language like
javascript..., document.location.href='';

Re: [PHP] Basic PHP/HTML code question
Since PHP is server-side, it's probably not the best option for doing what you're describing. It IS possible to use a javascript onchange event and use that to trigger a new page load which would change your second select box, but that's kind of slow and sloppy and should probably only be used when your select boxes have a LOT of data or can change a lot necessitating a database lookup on whatever you selected in the first box. It sounds like what you want to do would best be done in javascript totally. Use PHP to build the javascript code that has all the options and then use code like the stuff found in Example 1 on: http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/dynamicoptionlist/ Technically this message is off topic and I'm sure someone will say something about it, but I hope people remember when they were starting out in PHP and weren't sure what it could and couldn't do and remember that asking questions like this is part of the learning process.

Re: [PHP] directory listing from text file
Thank you Chris,
but this is not I needed.
Let me explain my situation.
I have a big server with a lot of audio files, working within LAN, with
Windows 2000 Pro on it. Let's call it as FileServer. Also I have another
server with Apache2 and PHP installed, windows 2000 PRO too, let's say it is
WebServer. Web Server is standalone with two NIC cards, firewall, etc. I
don't want to make Fileserver be accessible form Internet.
The problem is that PHP and/or Apache on WebServer does not understand
mapped drives from a FileServer, so readdir() or opendir() is not working
correctly, by the way, it looks like Windows dir command works a little
bit faster than readdir();
It take me some time to play with simple Windows command line utility, to
get directory listing on FileServer and deliver plain text file to a
WebServer. Command line was the following:
exec('cmd /c dir /b /s /d /a:d \\\FileServer\\audiofiles audiofiles.txt');
$hi = fopen(audiofiles.txt, r);
$line = fread($hi,filesize(audiofiles.txt));
fclose($hi);
$line=explode(\n, $line);
At this point I've got FileServer directories [only directories, not files!]
scanned into file audiofiles.txt and this file was written to a WebServer.
So, I have plain text file with correct directory structure, including
subdirectories.
The problem is, that dir command in Windows command prompt scans
directories in weird format - each directory in new line, eg:
\first
\second
\second\first
\second\second
\third
I immagine, to show directory tree, I need to make some like array in PHP,
and I think, this should be a recursive function [could not find out how to
write it]. So final variable should be array like this:
$directories = Array('\\first', '\\second = Array('\\first', '\\second'),
'\\third');
How??

The recipient receives the email from ³World Wide Web Server [EMAIL PROTECTED]² instead of what I have specified. Here¹s my code... [snip] $message = stripslashes($message); mail($to,$subject,$message,'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1; From: SOMETHING [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; MIME-Version: 1.0; X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion()); echo It is done; } ? ... I don¹t know what I¹m doing wrong, it¹s not reading the FROM or Reply-TO in the headers. Instead of the mail stating ³Something [EMAIL PROTECTED]² at the recipient¹s end, it is stating ³World Wide Web Server [EMAIL PROTECTED]² .. I have no clue why. What happens if you do it like this: $headers = Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n; $headers .= From: SOMETHING [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\n; $headers .= Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $headers .= MIME-Version: 1.0; X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . \r\n; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); From the manual: additional_headers (optional) String to be inserted at the end of the email header. This is typically used to add extra headers (From, Cc, and Bcc). Multiple extra headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n). Note: If messages are not received, try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor quality Unix mail transfer agents replace LF by CRLF automatically (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is used). This should be a last resort, as it does not comply with RFC 2822. Failing that, I'd check with the admin of your server. Maybe they are re-writing all outbound email with the *real* From header regardless of what you put in there. -philip -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] PHP and PayPal
Hello, I am about ready to start my investigation into this matter, but thought I'd ask here first. Here is the scenario I would like to implement. 1) User wants to buy a key that allows them to do a particular task on my web site. 2) I do not want to release the key to the user until payment is received. Here is one way I would like it to work: 1) User fills out a form (user email address, etc.) then clicks the Buy Key button. 2) User, along with a link, unique ID (not Key), cost, and form data is sent to PayPal. 3) After PayPal receives full payment, PayPal sends user back to my site via the link and other data. 4) That link starts a script that confirms with PayPal that payment was made in full. 5) When confirmed, user is presented with key (can copy and paste) with option to have it emailed to them. Another way I would like it to work: 1) User fills out a form (user email address, etc.) then clicks Buy Key button. 2) User, along with a link, unique ID (not Key), cost, and from data is sent to PayPal. 3) After PayPal receives payment, PayPal sends user an email with same data sent to it. 4) When user receives email, user clicks link containing Unique ID. 5) That link starts a script that confirms with PayPal that payment was made in full. 6) When confirmed, user is presented with key (can copy and paste) with option to have it emailed to them.

My idea of moderation would have been the prevention of something like this from coming on to the list, which would have meant pre-approval. Someone that can remove email addresses that do nothing but generate auto responders? Someone who can remove addresses which send out those stupid, 'verify you are not spam' emails?

Re: [PHP] imap_open with variable fails
Hi,
just did want to let this sink unanswered, but I see that 6 days means quite
a lot of messages piled up. Should have answered earlier, but...
Anyway, I think I had tried the \{ or '{-combinations as well and it
didn't work - but I can't remember exactly and can't reproduce now, since I
was working on a user's server there. But the way I finally solved this way
to first create a string with the entire command and its arguments in it and
then eval() the thing...

Hi,
I'm using imap_open and the script works fine on my server with 4.3.11.
Now
as user with 4.3.10 reported that the script does not work. He finally
got
it working by replacing my variable-names in the imap_open-command with
strings containing exactly the same data (except for the leading slash
before the { which I was using together with variables).
The statement is
@imap_open(\{$host}INBOX,$user,$pwd,OP_HALFOPEN);
and host is 80.243.163.14/pop3.
I know that /notls can also be appended, but as I said: it works fine
when
entering these directly into the command, just when using the
string-parameter it fails.
The error is: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream
I've spent quite some time now googling around, searching various forums
etc., but could not find a solution to this. Would appreciate your help

you are concatenating an array (which will be cast to a string)
to a string - this won't do what you want.
also putting '$row[user_id]' in double quotes is pointless,
remember that if you don't put it in double quotes then you
have to quote the array 'key' like so (or suffer an E_NOTICE):
? echo $row['user_id']; ?
so to build up an (indexed) array (as opposed to associative):
?php
$uidToAdmin = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// put user ID's into an array;
$uidToAdmin[] = $row['user_id'];
}
// DEBUG:
// I'll assume you will run this via your browser
// therefore a pre tag is used to make the output
// readable
echo 'pre';
var_dump( $uidToAdmin );
echo '/pre';
?
I would suggest you take (another?) look at the
documentation on arrays, php arrays are really very very
cool - knowing how to use them properly is a
powerful weapon in your php arsenal. :-)

You don't set $_GET variables, like $_GET['name'] = whaever and expect to do something along the lines of echo $_GET['name'] in another page. To assign a value as a GET variable on another page, then you make the url of the other page whatever.php?name=value Then in whatever.php you can do something like ?php echo $_GET['name']; ?

In *some* impelementations of SQL, the performance benefit of CHAR over VARCHAR is lost after the first VARCHAR column. In other words, it's making it VARCHAR because there is NO benefit to it being CHAR because there is a column earlier (FileName) that is already VARCHAR. Try moving the RefNum to be *before* the FileName column. If that fixes it, you're all set. I don't know if MySQL is such an implementation. I don't know if MySQL's VARCHAR and CHAR have any difference at all in MyISAM. I don't know... There's a lot I don't know. The above was all just guess-work based on other SQL implementations. http://mysql.com should document what's happening and why. Search for VARCHAR and CHAR there, and you should find it. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] PHP and PayPal
Hi Robert I am just in implementing PayPal as one of the Payment providers on an order. I realize the PayPal documention is a bit too exhausive and is easy to lose track of what is important. I will introduce two items to you: IPN (Instant Payment Notification) You should have a script that handles callbacks from PayPal. The PayPal system itself calls the script whenever something important happened. The security is that you get all the data PayPal sent, send it back to a POST and retrieve the reply VERIFIED or FAILED. This script should create the keys and send emails to the customer with these keys. PDT (Payment Data Transfer) PDT is used by PayPal when the payment is completed and the PayPal system forwards the user back to your page. Use the PDT to look up in your database if you already received an IPN from PayPal regarding this order. PayPal alows you to check your system by the use of a Sandbox. They also have a forum where you can ask specific questions.

Thank you Chris,
but this is not I needed.
Let me explain my situation.
I have a big server with a lot of audio files, working within LAN, with
Windows 2000 Pro on it. Let's call it as FileServer. Also I have another
server with Apache2 and PHP installed, windows 2000 PRO too, let's say it
is
WebServer. Web Server is standalone with two NIC cards, firewall, etc. I
don't want to make Fileserver be accessible form Internet.
The problem is that PHP and/or Apache on WebServer does not understand
mapped drives from a FileServer, so readdir() or opendir() is not working
correctly, by the way, it looks like Windows dir command works a little
bit faster than readdir();
It take me some time to play with simple Windows command line utility, to
get directory listing on FileServer and deliver plain text file to a
WebServer. Command line was the following:
exec('cmd /c dir /b /s /d /a:d \\\FileServer\\audiofiles
audiofiles.txt');
$hi = fopen(audiofiles.txt, r);
$line = fread($hi,filesize(audiofiles.txt));
fclose($hi);
$line=explode(\n, $line);
At this point I've got FileServer directories [only directories, not
files!]
scanned into file audiofiles.txt and this file was written to a WebServer.
So, I have plain text file with correct directory structure, including
subdirectories.
The problem is, that dir command in Windows command prompt scans
directories in weird format - each directory in new line, eg:
\first
\second
\second\first
\second\second
\third
I immagine, to show directory tree, I need to make some like array in PHP,
and I think, this should be a recursive function [could not find out how
to
write it]. So final variable should be array like this:
$directories = Array('\\first', '\\second = Array('\\first',
'\\second'),
'\\third');
How??
