[PHP] Ongoing encoding issues
Hi all, I posted a question a couple of days ago regarding a web app I have wherein users are able to indicated prices and concessions via a text field, and the resulting encoding issues I have experienced, the main one being seeing the pound sign as £ if viewing the results in a browser with the encoding set to Latin-1. My question is, how do I overcome this. If I set my browser encoding to Latin-1 and enter the data I get that odd symbol, if I set it to UTF-8 I get clean data. Is there a way to sniff out what encoding the browser is using and then clean the data in any way.

It would be easy to do with a chrooted setup, but I'm sure there are other ways too. Also, depending on what differences you need to make, you can perhaps use the apache directives php_value and php_flag etc. to override the necessary php.ini settings for your second httpd.

Hi Dave. I don't think you are able to detect your users character encoding with php only (at least not rock-solid).

On Thu, January 25, 2007 3:07 pm, Bing Du wrote: Sorry if the top is not closely PHP related. But I need to accomplish it using PHP. I can query the attribute 'memberOf' of a user from the active directory server with no problem. The challenge I'm facing now is how to obtain all the groups a user is member of. In many cases, a user can be in many groups which could be nested. Say, user is a member of group B which is a member of group A. So user should be member of group A implicitly. But in active directory, user's account only has memberOf: CN=Group_B,OU=security groups,OU=Users,OU=Coll,DC=some,DC=edu I can then check if Group_B's LDAP entry has any 'memberOf' attribute, so on and so on. If user's LDAP entry has multiple 'memberOf' attributes, I have to check each one to see if each group has any parent groups. Anybody ever had to deal with such a kind of issue and would like to shed some light (better with some code samples) how it should be done effectively? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't know hardly anything about LDAP, and even less about Active Directory, but if you can't find a built-in function to do this and have to write your own, it should end up looking something like: function groups($user, $groups = null){ //very first time, initialize $groups to empty array: if (is_null($groups)) $groups = array(); //Find all the groups that his user/group is a memberOf: $member_of = //do your LDAP here to find the memberOf: //ex: CN=Group_B,OU=security groups,OU=Users,OU=Coll,DC=some,DC=edu //Look at each group in turn $member_of = explode(',', $member_of); foreach($member_of as $group){ //Skip any groups we have already seen: if (isset($groups[$group])) continue; //Add it to the list of groups: $groups[$group] = $group; //check for super-groups of this group: $groups = array_merge($groups, groups($group, $groups)); } } Excellent!

INSERT statements made easy: $genericQY = INSERT INTO MOD_LMGR_Leads (; $genericQYvalues = VALUES (; $genericQY .= FirstName,; $genericQYvalues .= 'John',; $genericQY .= LastName; $genericQYvalues .= 'Smith'; $genericQY .= );$genericQYvalues .= );; $genericQY .= $genericQYvalues; $genericRS = mysql_query($genericQY); I use this structure so if I decide that I don't need certain data I can comment out a single line to remove the column name and corresponding value. Also helpful for making updates to column/value pairs and not worry about the dreaded error involve # of columns not matching. Only things you have to watch for: 1. Make sure you don't have a comma on the last item 2. Make sure you have spaces where appropriate so when it concatenates the strings, you don't get stuff crammed together (not really an issue with the INSERT statement, but I try to keep a consistant practice with all my queries so I don't slip up.. SELECT columnsFROM tableWHERE something = something is where it really gets ya if you forget spaces.. just as an example) 3. Make sure to remember to concatenate the query and values parts I like to think this is a little outside the box thinking since common practice is one command, one line or total chaos hah.

Number of reading errors people make grows with line length, this has been known for as long as I remember. You're increasing the probability of bugs in the code, and get tired sooner because following long lines requires more energy. I believe those results are specific to what is being read. Surely it's easier to read: SELECT blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah if it's all on one line, no matter how many fields there are, while trying to read the code as a whole. Sure, it can be hard to find/read the individual field names, on the rare occasion that you need to do that... Dear Mr Lynch, normally I highly respect your commentary on the list, but today I think you've been-a-smoking the crackpipe a tad too much. There is no way in hell one long line of SQL is easier to read than formatted SQL that clearly delineates the clause structure. SELECT A.field1 AS afield1, A.field2 AS afield2, B.field1 AS bfield1, B.field2 AS bfield2, C.field1 AS cfield1, C.field2 AS cfield2, D.field1 AS dfield1, D.field2 AS dfield2 FROM tableA as A LEFT JOIN tableB AS B ON B.fee = A.foo LEFT JOIN tableC AS C ON C.fii = B.fee LEFT JOIN tableD AS D ON D.fuu = C.fii WHERE A.foo = 'someValue' ORDER BY afield1 ASC, cfield2 ASC The above line should be on one line, but my email client might autowrap it. Either way, the following is formatted and is much clearer. SELECT A.field1 AS afield1, A.field2 AS afield2, B.field1 AS bfield1, B.field2 AS bfield2, C.field1 AS cfield1, C.field2 AS cfield2, D.field1 AS dfield1, D.field2 AS dfield2 FROM tableA as A LEFT JOIN tableB AS B ON B.fee = A.foo LEFT JOIN tableC AS C ON C.fii = B.fee LEFT JOIN tableD AS D ON D.fuu = C.fii WHERE A.foo = 'someValue' ORDER BY afield1 ASC, cfield2 ASC While the above is contrived, most of us know such examples happen quite often in the wild. Not only is it easier to read, but the task of adding or removing selected fields is trivial. I meant ONLY the SELECT part on a single line. Only a moron would cram the FROM and all that into the same line. :-) $query = SELECT blah1, blah2, blah3, ... blah147 ; $query .= FROM table1 ; $query .= LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ; $query .= ON blah7 = blah42 ; $query .= WHERE blah16 ; $query .=AND blah42 ; $query .= ORDER BY blah9, blah8 desc, blah6 ; is what I go for.

Are sockets created via stream_socket_pair more efficient for IPC than standard socket/port communications? I want to open a process with proc_open, and I want to use a socket to for IPC. One solution is to just create a socket in the parent and pass the port number to the child. Then, when the child starts, it would connect to the local port via a socket. Would it be better to use stream_socket_pair to create a pair of IPC socets and then somehow pass the socket descriptor via the proc_open call?

Strangely enough, Stut and Jochem, I DO find this more readable. Hah. I know, I'm insane. I have done it the way you guys proposed, using an associative array and using the keys and values as the columns and insert values. While that is what I'd call tighter code and when you understand what it's doing, is just as simple to maintain as how I do it, I do find my method more 'readable'. I tend to build queries in WinSQL first, then insert them into my PHP code.

So instead of using: $query = SELECT BunchOfJoinedColumns; $query .= FROM BunchOfJoinedTables; $query .= WHERE SomeConditions; $query .= AND MoreConditions; for long complicated SELECT statements, then using the method you guys use for INSERT statements, I'm keeping my code consistant whether it's SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, whatever.

Second question is why is PHP failing when obviously the memory limit is set to just over 100MB? It's trying to allocate over 50M, but fails because existing memory usage + attempted memory usage is greater than 100M.

For example: echo BuildSql('Insert into ?ptable (?s,?ns,?mi,?d,?ni,?i,?t)','Something','',5,time(),0,null,mktime(3,4,5)- mktime(0,0,0)); Will return: Insert into wp_table ('Something',null,5,'2007-01-21 15:54:27',null,0,'0 04:04:05') It is not only meant to build inserts but it is more like a sort of SQL-oriented sprintf(), like it does proper handling of null values, such as avoiding puting the text 'null' (notice the quotes) instead of the value null. It also has a ?p 'prefix' modifier to use a fixed prefix on all table names. As for formatting, I usually put the SQL statement in one line and the arguments in the next one with spaces to align them vertically, which I won't show here since the formatting of the message will ruin it anyway. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Ongoing encoding issues
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2007-01-26 09:33:13 +: Hi all, I posted a question a couple of days ago regarding a web app I have wherein users are able to indicated prices and concessions via a text field, and the resulting encoding issues I have experienced, the main one being seeing the pound sign as Â? if viewing the results in a browser with the encoding set to Latin-1. My question is, how do I overcome this. If I set my browser encoding to Latin-1 and enter the data I get that odd symbol, if I set it to UTF-8 I get clean data. Is there a way to sniff out what encoding the browser is using and then clean the data in any way. I am googling for help also but you guys have been so helpful in the past I thought I'd try you also. Your PostgreSQL database uses some encoding, your PHP script runs under some locale (incl. character encoding), and the browser sent the text in some encoding. PostgreSQL assumes the input data is in the charset the database uses (unless you have client_encoding set in postgresql.conf, or PGCLIENTENCODING (IIRC) in the environment, or have set client_encoding using the SET command). It's important that you correctly identify encoding of the inserted data to PostgreSQL or convert it to the encoding it expects beforehand. You can use iconv or recode functions in PHP, I'd probably have a look if there's an apache input filter for character encoding conversions. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?

[PHP] PHP with XML database
Hello all As part of my research under my professor I have to implement a web interface to their benchmarking data. PHP is the chosen web language but we are little worried about the database. The benchmark data comes to us in XML format (e.g. http://www.matf.bg.ac.yu/~filip/ArgoLib/smt-lib-xml/Examples/FolEq1.xml). We have to implement an interface to query them, get data, update etc. We even can change schema in the form of attributes. . The data size would be around 100 MB each XML with around 100 different XMLs. The load would be max 5-10 users any given time, batch updates once a month and heavy load probably 2-3 times a month. Mission criticality is not important, we can get it down sometimes. Which db would you suggest? I did Google research and as of now - I like eXist, Sedna (they seem to have good PHP wrapper support) and Timber. Another thing would be good documentation and support. Any suggestions?

I consider storing static texts as defines and just load a different definition file when the user switches language. Is this practical? If you store your text in a data table and retrieve it with a query, you're leaning your weight on SQL (or your database engine of choice). If you store your text in individual text files, you're leaning on the operating system's own database system to locate, open, and read the file. If you store all your text in a single text file, you're leaning on server memory to store everything when you may only want a few chunks. Unless your site is insanely popular or huge, does the method really matter so much? The idea of storing all the text for an entire website in a single text file sounds scary but feasible if the site size is modest. Servers and database engines are built to perform file I/O quickly efficiently, and I find it unlikely that you'll strain the system unless your traffic is enormous, your content huge, and your queries inefficient. Is your static text really static? How often is it modified? If you're really concerned about streamlining, consider building your pages dynamically from a database but then caching them on the server as plain html, refreshing individual files in the cache when your SQL-based content changes.

[PHP] Creating an array as a property of an object

Your PostgreSQL database uses some encoding, Dave pointed out to me that he's using MySQL. That means the configuration mechanisms for the database will be different, but the principal issue remains the same. your PHP script runs under some locale (incl. character encoding), and the browser sent the text in some encoding. PostgreSQL assumes the input data is in the charset the database uses (unless you have client_encoding set in postgresql.conf, or PGCLIENTENCODING (IIRC) in the environment, or have set client_encoding using the SET command). It's important that you correctly identify encoding of the inserted data to PostgreSQL or convert it to the encoding it expects beforehand. You can use iconv or recode functions in PHP, I'd probably have a look if there's an apache input filter for character encoding conversions. -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?

[PHP] Result sorting not working
I have a search page that displays all active records in my application, but for some reason, I can not get it to display based on a specific input. For instance, I have records with id's 2, 3, 4, 5 etc... In my search form, the default view shows all records, and my form variable lets you put in different search criteria. If I do a search by id and put in 2 as the search condition, my results keep coming back blank. It does not matter which parameter or value I put in, it still returns blank. Any ideas? ?php $connection = mssql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ('server connection failed'); $database = mssql_select_db($database, $connection) or die ('DB selection failed'); // Query the table and load all of the records into an array. $query = SELECT child_support_payment_request.credit_card_id, credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id, credit_card_payment_request.date_request_received FROM child_support_payment_request, credit_card_payment_request WHERE child_support_payment_request.credit_card_id = credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id; if ($request_id !== '') { $query.= AND credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id = $request_id2; } if ($dateTime !== '') { $query.= AND credit_card_payment_request.date_request_received = $dateTime2; } $res = mssql_query($query) or die(mssql_error()); echo table width='780' border='1' align='center' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='2' bordercolor='#00'; while ($rows = mssql_fetch_array($res)) { $res_id = $rows['credit_card_id']; $res_dateTime = $rows['date_request_received']; echo tr; echo td width='88' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'div align='center'$res_id/div/td; echo td width='224' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'div align='center'$res_dateTime/div/td; echo td width='156' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'div align='center'Open/div/td; echo td width='156' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'div align='center'Payment Type/div/td; echo td width='156' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'div align='center'Last Processed By/div/td; echo /tr; } echo /table; ?

'dynamic' values - document titles, headers, content - these are specified by the owner/user during the lifetime of the site/application for the rest I'll just say 'ditto' to most of what the other list members replied :-) O.

Re: [PHP] PHP with XML database
Hi again I don't know what the DB should do for you. If you simple want to select subtrees from your big XML, you can put the XML Files to the filesystem and use XPointer for query. Here an example: ?php $xml=END result xmlns:xi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude; xmlns:xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xi:include href=http://www.laptop.org/vision/index.shtml#xmlns(xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//xhtml:div[1]//xhtml:div[1]) parse=xml xi:fallback errornot found/error /xi:fallback /xi:include /result END; $dom=domDocument::loadXML($xml); $dom-xinclude(); header(Content-type:text/xml); echo $dom-saveXML(); ? This example loads an XML (xhtml) from the web (filesystem is also possible) and outputs a subtree of the document. The subtree is selected by an XPointer expression. The XML: http://www.laptop.org/vision/index.shtml The XPointer: #xmlns(xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)xpointer(//xhtml:div[1]//xhtml:div[1]) (the namespace part is a little tricki) To parse 100MByte takes some time. A database can improve speed, the query syntax (XPointer) maybe is the same. Without knowing what the output of the database should be und the query parameters, it is not easy to tell what db is the best for you. A solution could be to split the 100MByte file in small parts and store the subtrees to blobs in mySql. You can build an index based on XPath and it could be a real fast solution.
