Make yourself a phpinfo() page.  Your PHP configuration will be at the
top of the page.  You can use that configure line to build/upgrade to
a newer PHP.

Hi,

you need to get the appropriate php tarball from
http://www.php.net/downloads.php and check out this page:

http://www.geocities.com/tipsforlinux/articles/27.html

It will tell you how to:

 - extract the sources
 - run configure (this is where you use the configure line from phpinfo)
 - install compiled binaries

You use it to configure your PHP for compilation.

Thank you! That fixed it.  I just had to define the Oracle env
variables on the httpd startup script.

So that was a huge help :)

 Hello,
 
 I'm having trouble compiling and running PHP with oracle support.
 
 I was able to compile with the appropriate configure script, but only
 after I set my Oracle environment variables in my shell.  That was no
 problem.
 
 The problem is, when Apache goes to load the php module, it fails,
 because it can't find the oracle library.  Interactively I had to do
 this...

Yeah, looks cool, but Im having a *lot* of trouble getting the listing of 
current images and upload functionality to work. How and where do You set this 
up? The documentation is very simple and yet confusing.

The filemanager image browser shows that Im looking in /, cant seem to find

The upload doesnt return an error, the JS upload in progress just hangs...

 Hi,
 
 Anyone know if theres a way to disable this feature for user using old
 browsers or not suporting JS/XML?

It seems there was no replies to this post?

Try autocomplete=off in the input tag:

 Hi gurus. I'm having fun replacing the text within [ and ] to XML
 format on 4000+ files on a windows XP machine. I installed php (and an
 apache server) on the machine because it is the only language the I am
 remotely familiar with.

 I want and text that is with [ and ] to be enclosed with note and
 /note. Going through the archives I found this nice regex (I changed
 it a bit- I hope that I didn't break anything important) that fits
 into str_replace:

 str_replace(/[([a-zA-Z]+?)]/, note.$what
 was_inside_the_parethesis./note, $string);
 str_replace doesnt support regular expressions

 http://www.php.net/str_replace

 what you need is preg_replace()

 http://www.php.net/preg_replace


 But how on sweet mother Earth do I get the $what
 was_inside_the_parethesis variable to stick into the note tags? I
 tried functions that would remove the [ and ], then do
 $new_str=note.$what was_inside_the_parethesis./note;
 and then replace the whole [$what was_inside_the_parethesis] with
 $new_str. I did get that far.
 preg_replace( '/\[([^\]]+)\]/', 'note\1/note', $string);


 Now the catch! If $what_was_inside_the_parethesis contains the word
 'algebra' then I want nothing returned- in other words [$what
 was_inside_the_parethesis] should be cut out and nothing put in it's
 place. I added an if function in there that checked the presence of
 the word algebra, but it ALWAYS returned blank.
 preg_replace( '/\[(algebra|([^\]]+))\]/', 'note\2/note', $string);


 just to mention, you need only the second example, the first ist just to
 explain the step toward the final ocde.
 The code works great for [] tags that do not contain the word algebra.
 If the word algebra is alone between the tags then it returns
 note/note, which I can easily remove with one more line of code.
 But if the word algebra appears with another word, then it is
 converted to a note just as if it did not contain the word.

 $search = array(
 '/\[[^\]*algebra[^\]*\]/',
 '/\[([^\]]+)\]/',
 );

 $replace = array(
 '',
 'note\1/note',
 );

 preg_replace( $search, $replace, $string);
 
 Thank you Sebastian. Know that I not only appreciate your assistance,
 but that I also make a genuine effort to learn from your example. I
 think that it's about time that I learned to brew regexes. On my to
 google now...

there are just two things you need to learn regular expressions:

the PHP-manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php

did you tried foreach() with $_GET ( or $_REQUEST ) ?


foreach ( $_GET as $key = $var )

but this is not incrementing a register global but 'accessing a

[PHP] Freing memory resources?

2005-06-16 Thread Gustav Wiberg

Hi there!

I have a script that runs about 10 minutes... Localy on my computer (Windows 
XP 2.6Ghz, Apache) the computer hangs a little now and then when the script 
is running. Is there any good way of releasing more memory while the script 
is running? The script could take 20 minutes, it's not a big matter how long 
the script takes. (As long as the server can do other things at the same 
time)


(In production environment, the php-script is on Apache and Linux (if it 
matters))

maybe use nice to stop your script hogging resources.

$ nice --adjustment=19 php yourscript.php

check the manpage for more info:

 Hi Sebastian!
 
 The table are about 600-700 rows, but i only select 25 rows at a time, so I 
 guess that isn't the issue.
 For each row, a comparison is done with a textfile that has almost 30.000 
 rows. I guess this is the problem is... It takes time to load same textfile 
 for each row, but an array for 30.000 rows should not be done either or 
 should it? Is there a better way of solving this?
 
 The script loads after 25 rows, because of I don't want to get any timeout... 
 We don't have any own webserver, so we have to rely on our Webhotel-supplier. 
 And our webhotel doesn't wan't to change certain thing for security reasons. 

why not move the text-file into the DB? of course not as a whole.

or why not elsewise take 25 lines from the textfile against the 700 rows
in the DB?

or not load the whole file in the array, check line by line -

[PHP] Re: How to print variable name and contents

2005-06-16 Thread Sergey
You can use $$var constuction, what display name of $var

function my_trace($var){
echo $$var.'='.$var.'br';
 }

nntp.charter.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] /   
: news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I want to write a trace procedure and call it with variable names, and I am 
having trouble with the syntax.  My goal is to have a procedure that will 
echo lines such as:

 Trace: $myvar=the contents of $myvar

 My attempt that didn't work is to write a function:

 function my_trace($m){
   echo (\nbrTRACE: $m = );
   eval(\$t=\$m\;);
   echo($t.br\n);
 }

 and call it with statements like:

 my_trace(\$my_var);
 my_trace(\$_ENV[\COMPUTERNAME\]);

 What am I doing wrong, and how should this be done?  Also, should I post 
 to a different group?

Re: [PHP] incrementing a register global

You try to increment value of a var! to change it name u have to add $i to 
it's name like this
foreach($i=1;$i=$boxes;$i++){

Jay Blanchard [EMAIL PROTECTED] ???/ ? 
 ?: news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[snip]
I dont know it this is possible, but here it goes.  Hopefully I cac
explain
it well enough for someone to understand.

I am posting data to a php script.  I have several variables that are
the
same except the number at the end is different.  So the url of the
called
script will be something like:

http://www.something.com/test.php?name1=Samname2=Billname3=Joe

On my script I am using substr() and strrchr() to get the number of last

variable:

$names = substr(strrchr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],),7,1);

I am then trying to run a loop to call each variable and just print it
on
the screen:

for($i=1;$i=$boxes;$i++){
  echo $_GET['name'].$i;
}

This is where my problem is.  And I dont know if this is even possible,
but
if you look at the echo line in the loop I am trying to add the number
of $i
to the register global.  I dont get an error in doing this, but when I
run
the script I get the number of $i instead of the value of $_GET['name1']

Like I said, I hope I explained this good enough for someone to know
what I
am trying to do.  If anyone has any suggestions or comments about doing
something like this please let me know.
[/snip]

Your terminology is a little mixed-up, you are not dealing with a
'register global' you are dealing with a variable and an array. If you
will do this...

print_r($_GET); You will see am array. then you can do something like
this..(without the substring manipulation above)

for($i = 0; $i  count($_GET); $i++){
echo $_GET[$i] . \n;
}

[PHP] Using Exec Function

2005-06-16 Thread Davide Pasqualini
I'm Windows XP Professional SP1, Apache 2.0.50 and PHP 5.0.4
I'm trying to run a Win32 application using  Exec() or Shell_Exec() but it
doesn't work.

In PHP.INI  safe_mode is Off
Apache is running under SYSTEM user

I also tryed to use backtick operator as shown in
http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.execution.php
but with no success, in the browser I get something like this:

C:\Programmi\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\proveC:\HELLO.EXE

php code
 ?php
 $test = `c:\mybat.bat`;
 echo pre$test/pre;
 ?

mybat.bat
 C:\HELLO.EXE

I'm still learning to use PHP, so this obviously beyond me.

2005-06-16 Thread Jason Barnett

Richard Lynch wrote:

This is Computer Software philosophical musing, not specifically related
to just PHP, but applicable to PHP and, well, all other OpenSource
software...

As I sit here surrounded by machines (physically and virtually) and
realizing that while I've got most of them on auto-update as much as I
can, or I've foisted off the updating on somebody else (for $$$) because I
just don't *WANT* to be a SysAdmin...

I'm still left with a lot of hours I'd have to invest to really be as
current as I'd like to be.

Let's take RedHat and other OSes, for example, only because I don't want
this to devolve into the what version of PHP should I use thread that
would be a hot button here.  [Not that RedHat and or its versions aren't
almost as hot, but...]



No kidding!  The way that they switched their codebase was, erm, 
interesting to say the least?  I looked at Red Hat about 1.5 years ago 
and it took me a while to realize that Fedora Core was the free / 
development branch of their OS.  And the prospect of using a box that 
never makes it out of development is, um, a reason to invest in Rolaids :)



I've got RedHat 8, RedHat 9, FC2, and FC3 on different machines here and
at client's sites.

Oh, and Win XP Home, just for fun, for testing stupid IE bugs.

I'd love to just move them all to FC3 (4 now?) but it would really be
painful, and a lot more hours than I have available.

Now, the thing is, it's finally gotten to the point where I'm willing to
let the OS authors/maintainers (RedHat) update my box for me, because,
with the current arms race in viruses and whatnot, that's got to be better
than my inability to stay on top of things, even if occasionally it breaks
something that actually worked before.



Yes it's an unfortunate trade off, but not so bad if you Keep It Simple 
Stupid (tm).  Most of the patches that get released to the wild (i.e. 
the stuff that you get if you don't closely watch any internals@ lists) 
have been tested for the OBVIOUS problems.  It's the edge cases that 
cause the most bugs...



My philosophical question is:

Why can't the damn things just have an easy one-click button to go from
major version to major version, or if I'm willing to turn over control of
the OS versioning to RedHat (or whomever) just do it automatically?

Okay, I can accept that for Microsoft and other proprietary software,
that's a non-option, because they WANT to force you to BUY the new
version, though with their new subscription model...  Well, let's not get
into THAT argument either.  Forget the Windows box.



But that's hard to do with my W2K workstation...  with that pompous 
sound that blares out of the speakers every time I reboot! ;)



In the past, I've been told that the various pieces of software version
control and tracking means that you need the clean break of a major
release to keep sanity in versions.

I think that was true then, but is it really true now?



I would tend to say: yes.  Take PHP for example.  There are a lot of 
Extensions floating out there (mostly in PECL) which rely heavily on 
internal function calls / behaviors.  So if the maintainers of the PHP 
project decide to do something so fundamentally different that it's 
likely to break, like, everything... well then every extension out there 
needs to be recoded (and tested) or else it's going to break.


There are currently two issues on the PHP internal list that directly 
affect this question of yours: Unicode and Module Dependencies.


As we all know (or should know) PHP lacks proper Unicode support.  Perl, 
Java, and a whole slew of others already have this support, but PHP 
(the language of the web?) doesn't.  So there is work underway to fix 
this in the default distribution (I've heard maybe around PHP 5.5), but 
let's face it: this is going to break almost everything.  Strings are 
the lifeblood of web applications and the addition of Unicode strings is 
going to require a lot of extensions to be upgraded.  An excellent 
summary of this situation can be found here:


http://www.gravitonic.com/downloads/talks/intlphpcon2005/php_unicode.pdf

So clearly our extension authors need to get the word and upgrade their 
packages.  A lot of them probably will make the changes for PHP 5.5 (or 
whatever version Unicode comes out in), but some might not.  So if 
Redhat comes in and upgrades your version of PHP (even if they're good 
enough that they upgrade all of the extensions too!) then you're going 
to have an application that doesn't work because your extensions don't 
support Unicode.


Now we move on to another discussion on the internals@ list.  Someone 
(Jani?) mentioned they had started work on a patch for module 
dependencies.  The proposal is still being worked on, e.g. where do we 
do the checking so that PHP startup doesn't slow down too dramatically? 
 However, if the module lists dependencies properly... and the parent 
modules (e.g. PHP core) correctly indicate BC breaks... then we might 
have something 

[PHP] [RE-PHRASE] PHP ZIP Class

2005-06-16 Thread Jay Blanchard
I am in need of a PHP class or script or something that will allow me to
designate a group of files to be zipped up, including PDF files,
automagically. It must be compatible with WinZip as that is what the
user will have access to. I have tried several things, a couple of
classes, and some other tricks to no avail. There seems to be an issue
with PDF's that I cannot figure out. The files are usually 1 byte too
short when you try to open them after unzipping them, and are therefore
corrupt.

If anyone is aware of something would you please let me know? I am even
willing at this point to add a couple of layers of abstraction to make
this work as long as the process is relatively invisible to the end
user. My desire is that it works like this;

User clicks link
[start automagic stuff]
*whirring* //determine which files should go into archive
*clicking* //put files in archive

Exec is the way to go... it gives you output as well as any error

and you should be able to adapt to your own usage:

command line as well as double-backslashes for each directory in the path */

$win_cmd = \C:\\Program Files\\The Regex Coach\\The Regex

print_r($stdout);
print Standard error:\n;
print_r($stderr);

[PHP] Those checkboxes again

2005-06-16 Thread Jack Jackson

hi,
I'm severely frustrated and perhaps you can help with what I have done 
wrong. The checkboxes I use to populate an intersection table work to 
add the records, and now I am trying to update them. It's almost there 
but producing some unexpected results when the form is submitted: the 
idea is that it displays the checkboxes as pre-selected if they're 
associated with the art_id in the intersection table. They're now 
appearing as all unselected. Any help is appreciated.


?php

$query = '';
$result = 0;
$art_id = $_POST['art_id'];

print_r($_POST);

if (isset($_POST['editrecordMedia'])){

if (!empty($_POST['media_types'])) {

foreach($_POST['media_types'] as $type)
 {
 $query = UPDATE media_art SET
 media_id='$type',
 art_id='$art_id';
var_dump($query);
 mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

 }
}

else {echo mediatypes is empty;}
//Closes if (!empty($media_types))
}//closes if (isset($_POST['editrecordMedia'])

//If editrecord hasn't been set, but selectcartoon has, get the 
cartoon's recordset


//This is just to get the title for display purposes
$query = SELECT art_title
FROM art
WHERE art_id='$art_id';

//These $art results are just to get the title for display purposes
$art_result = mysql_query($query);  
$art_rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($art_result);
//end

$media_result = mysql_query($media_query);

Hi, After a disastrous first attempt (which uploaded images but only by
chance) it was suggested I rework the entire thing. This one seems to
check the file against getimagesize and if that doesn't prove false,
check the type and make the extension then rename the file. But the
moving part is not working, and it does not kick back any error, it just
fails.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, and also if this is sufficient
to a) upload images safely and b) protect against tampering?

You need to compile PHP with OpenSSL.

Alternatively, you can use the curl library.

You may also want to take a look at this HTTP client class that uses 
fsockopen or curl depending on which is available:

[PHP] A more sane problem description

2005-06-16 Thread Jack Jackson

Sorry,
The last post I made was fairly incomprehensible.

I'm trying to

a) edit information which is already in an intersection table, while
b) allowing the user to add new information to the intersection table

The information in it is pulled from the table media_art and I grab the 
media_art_id, media_id and art_id.


If a media_id is associated with an art_id in the table, I grab all 
three and make the checkbox for that media_id checked.


I need to understand how I can make it so that

a) if the user UNchecks the box, then the row containing that media_id 
will be deleted.


AND

b) if the user checks a new box, a new row will be inserted into the 
media_art table containing the media_id and the art_id.


This is so far beyond my comprehension it's not even funny.

This is what I have so far - thank you in advance for the help.:


?php

$query = '';
$result = 0;
$art_id = $_POST['art_id'];
$media_art_id = $_POST['media_art_id'];
//print_r($_POST);

if (isset($_POST['editrecordMedia'])){

if (!empty($_POST['media_types'])) {

foreach($_POST['media_types'] as $type)
 {  
 $query = UPDATE media_art SET
 media_id='$type',
 art_id='$art_id'
 WHERE media_art_id='$media_art_id'
 LIMIT 1;
print_r($query);
 mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

 }
}

else {echo mediatypes is empty;}
//Closes if (!empty($media_types))
}//closes if (isset($_POST['editrecordMedia'])

//If editrecord hasn't been set, but selectcartoon has, get the 
cartoon's recordset


//This is just to get the title for display purposes
$query = SELECT art_title
FROM art
WHERE art_id='$art_id';
//end

$media_query = SELECT media.media_id,
media.media_name,
media_art.art_id,
media_art.media_art_id
FROM media
LEFT JOIN media_art
ON media_art.media_id=media.media_id

//These $art results are just to get the title for display purposes
$art_result = mysql_query($query);  
$art_rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($art_result);
//end

$media_result = mysql_query($media_query);

[PHP] Include and extending classes

[PHP] SSL ldap bind

2005-06-16 Thread Jason Motes

Hello list

I am trying to do an ssl ldap bind to novell's edir 8.7.

I have followed the examples from 
http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-connect.php I know these 
examples are for AD, but they should be close to the same.


I have exported the server cert and made the changes to ldap.conf.  and 
restarted the ldap service


from the command line on a linux box this works:
ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldapserver -x

but this does not
ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldapserver

and returns the error:
ldap_ssl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown authentication method (86)
additional info: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs 
found
if i run the above command with the debug option -d 16 it says something 
about supportedSASLMechanisms1...NMAS_LOGIN


notice that on the one that does not work i am not using the -x option. 
 This option allows you todo simple authentication.


In php i can do a bind on the normal port of 389, but anything on 636 fails.


$ldapserver=ldapserver;  //this works
$ldapserver=ldaps://ldapserver;  //this fails
$ldapserver=ldapserver:636;  //this fails

if (!($ldap = ldap_connect($ldapserver)))
{
  die (Could not connect to LDAP Server: $server\n);
}
else {
  print Connected\n;
}
if (!(ldap_bind($ldap, $bindUser,$bindPass)))
{
  die (Unable to Bind);
}
else {
  print Bound\n;
}

I am assuming the reason that it is failing is that i am getting that 
same SASL error.


Is there anyway to make ldap_bind() use simple authentication??

I looked at ldap_set_option() and could not find anything about simple 
authentication. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-set-option.php
This page has a link to: 
http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/doc/drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-xx.txt
This page says something about a constant value LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE.  Is 
there anyway to configure this?


I am using:
 PHP 4.3.3 --with-openssl --with-ldap=yes
 Apache 2.0
 Openldap
 OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003


I have googled all over for this, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason Motes

http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php

So if user.class.php include()'s core.class.php then you should have the 
class definition (for methods) as well as any objects that were created. 
in core.class.php.  In other words all variables get imported into the 
current scope in the calling file.



I'm running PHP 5.0.4 on Windows

//core.class.php

class core {

var $db;


Is this actually var?  Did you possibly call this private / protected? 
Var == Public, so the db property of any core class should be available.




function core(){
//initialize db connection (works from here)
}
//Other methods
}

//system.class.php
include ../../inc/core.class.php;


Note that relative paths can cause problems when you switch the current 
working directory.  This likely isn't a problem for this particular 
issue you're having, but it's a gotcha for future work.  What I do for 
relative includes is something like:


include dirname(__FILE__) . ../../inc/core.class.php;


class system extends core {

function system(){



/** See note below */
$this-core();


}
}

//user.class.php
include system.class.php;
class user extends system{

function user(){
//$this-db cannot be used here


What exactly do you mean by cannot be used... do you mean that you don't 
have access to db?  Or perhaps you expect cascading __constructor calls 
which PHP does not do by default.  Instead you need to call the parent 
constructor *explicitly*.


$this-system();


}
}

TIA,
Mike

Well then there you have it... having an extra space means that the 
strings in the first array won't match the strings in the second array. 
 Perhaps you can array_intersect(array_walk($array1, 'trim'), $array2)

It doesn't matter if you install MySQL or PHP first since you would
most likely be installing both precompiled, not from source.

Enabling MySQL support in PHP on Windows consists of properly defining
your extensions directory in your php.ini, placing your php_mysql.dll
in that defined extensions directory, and finally you would uncomment
the MySQL extension line.

extension_dir = c:\php\ext

extension=php_mysql.dll   

I would use the regular PHP installer, then add the files from the
non-installer download to the initial install in c:\php.  That will
get you a ton of extra extensions you may or may not want.

Re: [PHP] passthru() passing variables

2005-06-16 Thread Richard Lynch
On Thu, June 16, 2005 11:44 am, Chris Herold said:
 Thanks for the tips;  however, I think I am still missing something.

 My perl script is running when called by passthru() because within the
 body of the simple test code I have set it up to:

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

 print Source ID: $source_id;
 /code

 and when I run the php with the full address to my file (abbreviated
 here and before for brevity):


 $source_id = test;
 passthru(/home/.../cgi-bin/passthru_test.cgi $source_id);


 it prints out

 Content-type: text/html Source ID:

 Which is what I expect although missing the printout for the source_id
 value.

Is Perl set with that Tainted mode thing where it won't *LET* you use
arguments from the outside world unless you at least pretend to scrub
them?

To test, what happens when you run text.cgi test from the command line
without PHP in the picture?

 Re:Exec()

 I have tried exec and it does not seem to be working for me in terms of
 producing an error output.

 I set it up for:

 exec(/home/httpd/vhosts/omniomix.com/cgi-bin/passthru_test.cgi
 $source_id,$out,$err);

 and I get no printout at all.

 Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?

exec won't print anything at all.

You have to take further action to print out $out and/or $err.

Also, move the quote at the end of $err to be after $source_id

As it is now, you are passing 2 more arguments with commas to your
Perl/cgi script, not  providing 2 more arguments to exec.

Re: [PHP] SSL ldap bind

 about supportedSASLMechanisms1...NMAS_LOGIN

It sounds to me like something is not quite right in the SSL
authentication setup...

Can PHP read the directories and files where your keys are?

Can it *FIND* those diretories?

How is it supposed to know to use those directories?

 http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/doc/drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-xx.txt
 This page says something about a constant value LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE.  Is
 there anyway to configure this?

Got me there.  Unless there's some kind of generic PHP function like
ldap_set_option() or something like that...

 I am using:
   PHP 4.3.3 --with-openssl --with-ldap=yes
   Apache 2.0
   Openldap
   OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003

Have you confirmed with ?php phpinfo();? that OpenSSL actually got
compiled in?  A lot of time ./configure will continue to build PHP even if
one of the Modules you asked for couldn't be found.  You'll have error
messages buried in the logs from configure, but it will be painfully *NOT*
obvious that it didn't work

?php phpinfo();? makes it painfully obvious.

Either you've got a whole section there about OpenSSL and its version and
whatnot, or it didn't get compiled in.

Re: [PHP] [RE-PHRASE] PHP ZIP Class

 I am in need of a PHP class or script or something that will allow me to
 designate a group of files to be zipped up, including PDF files,
 automagically. It must be compatible with WinZip as that is what the
 user will have access to. I have tried several things, a couple of
 classes, and some other tricks to no avail. There seems to be an issue
 with PDF's that I cannot figure out. The files are usually 1 byte too
 short when you try to open them after unzipping them, and are therefore
 corrupt.

 If anyone is aware of something would you please let me know? I am even
 willing at this point to add a couple of layers of abstraction to make
 this work as long as the process is relatively invisible to the end
 user. My desire is that it works like this;

 User clicks link
 [start automagic stuff]
 *whirring* //determine which files should go into archive
 *clicking* //put files in archive
 [/end automagic stuff]
 User presented with dialog box to save archive

 Any and all clues are appreciated.

+1 on the http://php.net/exec plus using zip on the command line.

Hopefully the users don't have direct control over what gets passed in as
an argument... ; rm -rf / would be bad, for example...

http://php.net/escapeshellarg

for that.

Performance might be an issue, but probably not if you are zipping up PDFs
and delivering them in a download...  The extra overhead of a shell isn't
*THAT* much.

 No kidding!  The way that they switched their codebase was, erm,
 interesting to say the least?  I looked at Red Hat about 1.5 years ago
 and it took me a while to realize that Fedora Core was the free /
 development branch of their OS.  And the prospect of using a box that
 never makes it out of development is, um, a reason to invest in Rolaids
 :)

It's not that bad, in Truth, only in Marketing.

See, they want to SELL the RedHat name to Enterprise for big money.

But they quickly found (after a disastrous attempt to only have
Enterprise) that they *need* the OpenSource community to develop and, more
importantly QA the new versions.

In Truth, an FCx box is really just the same as the old RedHat (Mandrake,
whatever) boxes.

You can, if you want, be risky and add in non-recommended bleeding edge
packages...  But it doesn't do that unless you push it.

 But that's hard to do with my W2K workstation...  with that pompous
 sound that blares out of the speakers every time I reboot! ;)

Errrm.  Just turn off all the Sounds in the Control Panel?

I haven't heard that annoying sound in AGES.

PHP-GENERAL STUFF

 If you're talking about literally breaking the bank... well, for
 subscription-based companies I bet that an auto-updating OS would be A
 Good Thing.  Because you're already sold on the new product (it got
 updated to your machine for you!) and it's an easier sell to convince
 you to keep your support contract for the new product.

I meant the intellectual/open-source bank of Developers and their time.

I don't really care about the subscription-based OS companies, frankly.  I
wouldn't expect them to change on this, as it's revenue they can't pass up
to *also* charge extra fees every time a major upgrade happens...  Or
they'll just be forced to make incompatible hardware changes, and make
up the money there.  Most likely both, if history is any indicator. :-^

  From a technical perspective though... I just think there are too many
 dependency nightmares for Redhat to deal with.  :-/  Maybe I'm just not
 aware of how the whole RPM thingy works, but I'm guessing that whoever
 writes it doesn't check external libraries that PHP might depend on (or
 libraries that are built on top of PHP for that matter).

I don't know, for sure, but I think there's a *LOT* of dependency checking
in RPMs...

At least, I've failed to install RPMs I needed, because of dependency
failures.

Over-riding those safeties generally led to glitches, at best, or
downright un-usable systems.  Especially that glibc thing.  Man, that
really sucked.
[Yes, I know why they did what they did.  It *still* sucked from the user
perspective.]

And I believe the reason the PHP RPMs tend to lag so much is specifically
so the RPM-makers can hammer out everything to make the various Modules of
PHP they feel they need to have in the RPM still work and they even QA
them a fair amount.

Maybe the RPM-makers don't dig down into the guts of PHP Modules as much
as they should in an automated way.  Or maybe they do.

They *must* be doing something somewhere along the line, even if it's
making a whole new source RPM and throwing out any Modules (by hand) that
don't work, and if you need PHP Module X, and had PHP Module X before, you
either lose out, or you don't get the new RPM because it knows it won't
work.

Either way, though, it seems to me that whatever it is all these
systems/people/processes are doing in that regard, it isn't going to be
any WORSE off to just jump from PHP 4.x to PHP 5.0 for *most* people, or
at least to give them that option in a one-click, ez-rollback way.

And to do the same for the OS, which is where, for me at least, I really
need this change-over to just work

Ideally, all the big PHP packages out there (even the ones I won't use
due to their security history) that everybody uses is already working on
having a PHP 5 version to roll out -- even if that means they just slapped
an ini-setting line at the top of their code to be PHP4 BC until they
really fix it.

 I know a lot of you guys actually ENJOY that kind of stuff, and playing
 with the new distro is your idea of a Good Time.

 But is that what Joe Sixpack and Betsy Buick really want?


 Not *this* Joe Sixpack.  I gladly welcome auto-updating programs that
 don't break BC.  And often times I'll bite the bullet and break BC if
 there's new functionality that proves worth the time and effort.

  Php Configure command './configure' '--with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs'

 '--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/src/webserver/openssl-0.9.7d/'

This didn't work

You know it didn't work because 'ssl' didn't show up in the list of stream
and sockets below.

You may be able to find out more about why it didn't work in the
config.log file in your PHP source directory.

Most likely, you're using the OpenSSL source directory instead of where
SSL got installed, which is probably /usr/ or /usr/local

In other worlds, go back to OpenSSL and do:

make install

and watch all the stuff fly by VERY carefully.

See where it (probably) says stuff about where it's copying the .so and .h
files.

Whatever directories those are, take the common ancestor directories,
and use that for --with-openssl-dir

You may also need to do ldconfig for the new system libraries to get
registered, after you do the make install of OpenSSL.  But ldconfig is
only for some distributions.  Others do the same thing other ways.  Some
do it automatically.  YMMV.

I suspect not, but those are the ones that are probably what will get

All the left outer joins are not gonna help either, but that's only a few
hundred rows, right?...  But will it grow?

Finally, if nice -19 isn't supported on Windows (I suspect not) a simple

Re: [PHP] passthru() passing variables

2005-06-16 Thread Richard Lynch
I dunno what 127 actually means, but the last time we saw it on this list,
it boiled down to:

You can't even run your 'sh' shell, much less Perl in that shell.

Check what's in /bin/sh and what its permissions are.

Make sure it's actually a valid shell binary, and not something bogus.

If that's not it, keep digging.

Somewhere, somehow, you've got something in permissions that is not
allowing you to run a process/binary you need.

If it's not /bin/sh, look at Perl.
If it's not Perl, check your permissions on test.cgi again.

Remember that PHP does not run as you with all your permissions - If you
can 'su' to the user PHP runs as, this could get a lot easier to test...

Check httpd.conf User directive to be certain you know what user PHP
runs as, or check ?php phpinfo()? output.

You may want to use exec first, so you can more easily capture the error
output and error codes.

exec(home/test.cgi $var, $output, $error);
if ($error){
  //You should probably use error_log here in your real code...
  //ASSUME this is going to break some day, for whatever reason.

  //Hey, the website broke yesterday.
  echo OS Error:  $errorbr /\n;
  echo implode(br /, $output);
  exit;
}
echo $output;

Meanwhile, odds are *REALLY* good that you're not even calling the
test.cgi script because you haven't provide a path that PHP can use.

home/test.cgi would be assuming that home was in the same directory as
your PHP script, and even that is kinda iffy depending on where you do
this from the webserver or CLI...

I would recommend using FULL PATH to *everything* in exec (and passthru)

/full/path/to/home/test.cgi /full/path/to/any/args.txt

Also be sure to use the escapeshellargs function to make your $var data
kosher if it comes from the outside world.

smbutil may or may not accept a password as an argument.

Something like:
smbutil --password=SECRET -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED]

If not, you MIGHT be able to do:

system(echo SECRET\n | /usr/bin/smbutil -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED]);

You may need to dink around with the \n part to get it into the shell
rather than in the PHP string...

system(echo -e \SECRET\\n\ | /usr/bin/smbutil -v view //[EMAIL PROTECTED]);

You should use exec instead during experimentation at least, so you can
get error messages...  Actually, exec is probably better all around,
unless you really need passthru for performance reasons...

smbutil *might* require a TTY (a REAL logged in person) the way some
programs do.  If its documenation says so, I think you're out of luck on
the password bit.

There might be other options, like SSH key-pair authentication or
Kereberos or, for all I know, somebody wrote a PHP Samba Module while I
wasn't looking...  I'd probably never use it, so wouldn't have noticed.

  $sep = ;
   foreach($_POST['media_types'] as $type)

Just wondering if anyone knows of a free weather service that can be

a XOAP service from Weather.com and METAR/TAF from NOAA are supported.
Further services will get included, if they become available, have a
usable API and are properly documented.

Yes, it would be nice if the list didn't relay this obvious cruft.

I'm s*bscribed to quite a few discussion lists, and php-general seems to be 
the ONLY one relaying these malware messages and the claims of virus filters.


It looks rather like php-general is operating as an open list, seeing as 
some of the addresses these messages are coming from clearly shouldn't 
already be s*bscribed to the list, and the malware responsible for most of 
it wouldn't actually perform a s*bscription.


At a minimum, I'd block the handful of known forgery addresses, plus block 
postmaster@ and mailer-daemon@ messages from reaching the list.  Yea, 
bummer for the handful of people who use postmaster for their s*bscription 
address (which is contrary to the purpose of the postmaster address, so no 
loss there).  I'd be quite happy if the list didn't accept attachments 
either, but that would probably be a bit much to ask.


The appropriate solution would be to configure lists.php.net and any other 
php.net mail hosts to use SMTP AUTH, and set them up with TLS certificates 
and trusted relationships among one another using TLS (this is easy to do, 
at least in sendmail - but php.net is running qmail...).  After that is 
done, set php.net hosts up to REJECT messages claiming to be from php.net 
(proper AUTH or TLS will circumvent this rejection).  End result: no more 
forgeries through the php.net servers.
