[PHP] Deployment and maintenance of php software
Hi all I am a php developer and develop huge packages. Those packages are then installed by my clients or clients of my resellers on a score of webservers. As with all applications, bugfixes, and updates are issued on an almost weekly bases. I developed an application that runs on the php cli and connects to a list of ftp sites and is capable of performing *some* updates but all of this is shady at most. What I really would like is to have an rpm style system. So that I can have for instance package dbfunctions-1.0-1-noarch.rpm (provides dbfunctions) package dbadmin-1.0-1-noarch (provides dbadmin, requires dbfunctions) I read up on the rpm command and find that it is very suitable for this kind of functionality. It support scripts that are run when a package is installed or removed, as well as triggers that can execute scripts. For instance if package dbadmin is updated, it can trigger a script in package dbfunctions to for example, update a configuration script. The downside of it all is that it requires shell access which most clients do not have. Furthermore, not all clients are running linux, some are running Mac (Unix based, but...?), or windows. Even though rpm exists for virtually all platforms. Three more requirements are not met: 1. The location of where the files in the package are installed is fixed in the rpm 2. Many packages require updates to the database, which means that a php cli with mysql support must be available on the system. 3. In case of a first install, information needs to be collected about the environment and user/password stuff. Is there anyone that can provide a solution to this or suggest another approach to the problem? With kind regards x_terminat_or_3 -- Now listening to Top!

[PHP] new to sessions, but learning
hello, I am writing basically what is hopefully going to turn out eventually to be a penpal website. There are millions out there i know but some are to slow and only load half the page whenever it feels like it + has a bazillion ads and well, other things..so I decided to write my own. What I am wanting to know, is it possible to do the signup thing in two parts using sessions. I basically have the signup info first, then so the user doesn't have to come back later, they can fill out their profile right then and there, on the next page. I'm thinking about saving the signup info and then when the user clicks continue, it would have their info. I know session vars work between two pages but will sessions work across 3 and 4 pages or not? thanks matt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You are re-saving the original file, not the thumb. I think you
really wanted:
imagejpeg($thumb,$thumbname);
btw, it would help to make the code more readable if you removed
all those leading tabs when posting it to the list.

Never mind, after a long day, I overlooked the fact that instead of
imagegif($thumb,$thumbname) I was doing imagegif($main,$thumbname)...

[PHP] imagecopyresized just copies
Hi all
I wanted to make a simple script to make a resized image from an uploaded one.
I used the example found on the php.net website
list($width,$height,$type)=getimagesize($newfile);
$newwidth=350;
$newheight=50;
$thumb=imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth,$newheight);
$thumbname=str_replace(".$filedetails[extension]",
"_thumb.$filedetails[extension]",$newfile);
$main=null;
switch($type)
{case 1:
$main=imagecreatefromgif($newfile); #gif
break;
case 2:
$main=imagecreatefromjpeg($newfile); #jpeg
break;
case 3:
$main=imagecreatefrompng($newfile); #png
break;
}
if(!(is_null($main)))
{imagecopyresized($thumb,$main,0,0,0,0,$newwidth,$newheight,$width,
$height);
switch($type)
{case 1:
imagegif($main,$thumbname);
break;
case 2:
imagejpeg($main,$thumbname);
break;
case 3:
imagepng($main,$thumbname);
chmod($thumbname,0600); #read&write for apache only
}
imagedestroy($main);
imagedestroy($thumb);
When I examine the two files, the are binary different but size and width are
equal.
Anybody know why?
With kind regards
Andy

Re: [PHP] Server Client Architecture, best parctice

So how secure depends on how secure is your protocol design and implementation. You might opt to work atop secure socket layer, as well. -ahmed
Re: [PHP] Problem with the fwrite function (not as simple as it sounds though)
Brian V Bonini napisał(a): You are saying: From the CLI you can write to a file all day long, no prob. Yes, the shell command "php test.php" works fine when executed as root (any other user has the same problem as from the web) From the web, if the file does not exist it is created, however, no content is appended to it. Furthermore, IF there is content in the file it can be appended to via web, but if it's an empty file it will not get written too. Am I following correctly? Exactly, as strange as it sounds, it's just like it is. And another thing, the whole instalation was working perfectly for the past month or two, and now (friday->saturday) suddenly the above symptom have appeared. No config changes, no updates or anything else I could relate was happening on the server, and there is no info in the log files on this behaviour, the is_writable says it is writable. The safe mode is disabled. Hope this tells You something, and gives You an idea on how to solve this. -- Best wishes Łukasz Hejnak -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Problem with the fwrite function (not as simple as it sounds though)
Hello again, here's some more extra info on my case that came out while Suhas Pharkute was helping me find a resolution: So the safe-mode is off, that's for sure, I turned it off at compile stage. I delete the file after each run of the script, the folder where the script is located has 777 permissions and the ownership is given to uid 1027 gid 1020, whereas these are the uid/gid set for apache to run with (and it does!). The script: $data="some data"; $file="file.txt"; $handle = fopen($file,"w"); fwrite($handle,$data); fflush($handle); fclose($handle); if (is_writable($file)) echo "Is writable"; else echo "Isn't writable"; works when I run it as root, from the shell (php script.php), but when it's run from the server, it doesn't. I mean, the output _IS_ in _BOTH_ cases "Is writable" but that doesn't change a thing, cause when executed from the apache, it just creates an empty file without content. The other thing I was supposed to check was stat($file); with clearstatcache(); called beforehand. The output of this is: device number: 777 inode number: 1142470 inode protection mode: 33188 number of links: 1 _userid_of_owner:_1027_ groupid of owner: 1020 device type, if inode device *: 0 _size_in_bytes:_0_ time of last access (Unix timestamp): 1132482491 time of last modification (Unix timestamp): 1132482505 time of last inode change (Unix timestamp): 1132482505 blocksize of filesystem IO *: 4096 _number_of_blocks_allocated:_0_ and of course when executed as root: device number: 777 inode number: 1142470 inode protection mode: 33188 number of links: 1 _userid_of_owner:_0_ groupid of owner: 1020 device type, if inode device *: 0 _size_in_bytes:_9_ time of last access (Unix timestamp): 1132482980 time of last modification (Unix timestamp): 1132482980 time of last inode change (Unix timestamp): 1132482980 blocksize of filesystem IO *: 4096 _number_of_blocks_allocated:_8_ Can anybody help me? -- Best wishes Łukasz Hejnak -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] POST headers empty when using SSLProxyEngine
Hi Mirco, > I had a simmalar problem myself and didn't find a solutions. > As far as I fond out the ssl_proxy module simply does not route POST. It > just routes the link, wich means GET should work. thanks for your reply! That sounds logical, indeed. I have posted my help request to the Apache users mailing list as well, maybe someone there comes up with a solution or even a patch. > My solutions would be that I bypass the proxy for file transfer.

Of course, I'll do! :) Thanks Florian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
