I'm not aware of any existing package that offers this, and if there
isn't
one I wouldn't be surprised.  I think that there are just too many
variables
for it to be universal enough...

But, I thought about it for a second and here's what I came up with...

I realize this is not a very efficient way to store data, but it's
just an
idea...

What about instead of running UPDATE queries, you INSERT a new record
"on
top of it", and if you need to "undo" someone's change, just DELETE
that
record.

I'm not sure how the tables would relate, but it would be something
like...
initial insert generates customerID -> customerID and customer data go
into
a separate table -> subsequent changes get stacked up in this table
and the
most recent record gets displayed when you click to view the customer.
Voila, you have a history table and a simple way to "undo" changes.

Whaddya think?


I worked on a HIPPA-compliant medicasl system like that once (HIPPA
basically don't let you ever ever ever "delete" any data about a
patient).

It had a "version" field that got incremented on each insert and you
never did an update or delete.

It annoyed the bleep out of me at the time, mainly because the tables
got really large really fast...

I'll have to think about this and see if the tables I care about will
grow ridiculously large, and I can always archive the older stuff
after time...


Have a second table that has the 'history' of the record. Basically a 
copy of the first table.


Easy to keep the history:

insert into history_table select * from main_table where id='X'

then update the main table's record.

That way you're not making the main table really large but you'll be 
able to go back a version if you needed to.


You could even keep the history table under check (only keep 50 records).

[Davis Chan]

(sorry if you see 2 posts, I was trying to cancel a post, edit, and repost)
Hi! Everyone, Dan is right, after submit button is clicked, the 
javascript function below is called. I am trying here is the javascript 
function:


> function Ask_Confirm() {

> to_url = "./admin.php?to_be_rm=" + document.forms[1].to_be_rm.value;

The alert(to_url) shows the correct/expected url. "to_be_rm" is the id 
of a  on the second form on the page. Thanks again.


I also have a question about using this newsgroup, why is messages I got 
from using Thunderbird not as update as the digest I got via email?

Hi Richard, thanks again for the detailed reply, I really appreciate you

LOL! Yah, I c ? u mean! :)

Good point. I hope the only person using this form will be me and a few 
others (will be posting it in a secure location)... Basically I wanted a 
good way to insert template tags for pagination links (done via my CMS) 
at specific word counts... Mostly doing this to get well-balanced pages 
for SEO purposes -- Also, it is hard as heck to visualize well-balanced 
page breaks.



But you'd have to work pretty hard at it...


Ahh, very interesting. :)


You generally want to call striptags() on the data as it comes in, if
you are not allowing HTML input.  And possibly raise an error if the
original input and the striptags() result don't match, as the user
probably *thought* you were going to accept HTML input...


Oh, kinda reminds me of filtering the comments of a Contact Form... I 
have used strip tags on the textareas and then compared the strings... 
This worked well, but I bet most folks do not think they can use HTML 
when it comes to a comment form (except spammers)... Thanks for pointing 
this out. :)



Or, don't do striptags at all, and, instead...

$text = "Some big long < block o' text > that you have stored in your
DB.";
$url = "http://example.com/var="; . urlencode('nasty & ugly value, eh?');
$text_html = htmlentities($text);
$url_html = htmlentities($url);
echo "$text\n";
echo "$url_html\n";


Sweet! Thanks for the example and the great explanation!


It may seem odd at first, but, really, *ANY* data you send to the
browser as data should have htmlentities() called on it.


That sounds good to me.


The only exception would be if you have data that already has HTML
tags buried in it -- and that's almost always a Bad Idea in the first
place, as it gets really tricky to be sure that you aren't sending out
very broken HTML and XSS-infected HTML and ...  An exception might be
if you generate static HTML and cache that, using the techniques above
to create the static HTML in the first place.


Ahhh, very interesting thought... Many thanks for the detailed reply 
Richard, it has been extremely helpful to me. :)

Browsers will probably NOT populate these reliably...

Mac Safari, might, for example, choose "application/x-pdf" for the PDF
file.

You really can't rely on 'type' to be useful in any way, shape, or form.

See various recent thread regarding "mime_magic" and other options.

That's not a query, that's a result...

And you aren't checking it to see if it's an error, and you're not
using http://php.net/mysql_error to find out what the error is.

And once you have closed the connection mysql_close() the result is
GONE, so if you do want to see it, you'd need it to be before the
mysql_close() probably.  It won't be very interesting, really, as it
will be FALSE if your SQL is messed up, and just a number from 1 to N
(where N is the number of queries you have sent) if the query
succeeded.

echo($filePath) . ""; //outputs '../downloads/66321-Estrutura.doc' 
and I can check that the file is there;

echo($fileType) . ""; //outputs 'doc' this is correct;

mysql_connect("localhost",$db_user,$db_pass) or die (mysql_error());;
mysql_select_db ($db_table);
$user_Query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tb_downloads (var_title, 
var_filepath, var_filetype, dt_data, bol_active) VALUES ('$title', 
'$filePath','$fileType','NOW(),1)");

You have an error in your SQL statement.
You have a single quote opening just before your NOW() call.

I usually setup my query in a string before I place it in the mysql_query() 
command.

This way I can echo it out and see it before it get executed.

$SQL = "INSERT INTO tb_downloads (
var_title,
var_filepath,
var_filetype,
dt_data,
bol_active
) VALUES (
'$title',
'$filePath',
'$fileType',
NOW(),
1
)";

echo $SQL;

plus, just for debugging, you should add this to your query line

$user_Query = mysql_query($SQL) or die("SQL Error #[".mysql_errno()."]:\n" . mysql_error());



mysql_close();

echo($user_Query) . ""; //outputs nothing (? I suck at debugin 
queries)

this will only output the Result pointer from mysql.

You need to use something like this:


print_r(mysql_fetch_assoc($user_Query));

you might want to look at mysql_num_rows() also.  This will tell you the number of results you got 
back.


Take a look at this example, it will give you all the needed parts to make this 
work

   Those are Apache configuration settings that are compiled into the

[PHP] File uploading and saving info on mysql

[Marcelo Wolfgang]

Hi all,

I'm developing for my first time an upload file form which will populate 
a sql insert query, I think I got everything working fine, but the data 
isn't been saved on the database. Can someone help me with what I'm 
doing wrong here ?


the code follow:

 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "";
}
  else
{
if (file_exists("../downloads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
  {
  echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
  }
else
  {
  move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
  "../downloads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
  }
}
  }
else
  {
  echo "Invalid file";
  }
$title = $_POST["title"];
$filePath =   "../downloads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
if($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/pdf"){
$fileType = "pdf";
} else if ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "application/msword"){
$fileType = "doc";
}
echo($title) . ""; //outputs 'yada' ( correctly as I've typed on 
the form;
echo($filePath) . ""; //outputs '../downloads/66321-Estrutura.doc' 
and I can check that the file is there;

echo($fileType) . ""; //outputs 'doc' this is correct;

mysql_connect("localhost",$db_user,$db_pass) or die (mysql_error());;
mysql_select_db ($db_table);
$user_Query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tb_downloads (var_title, 
var_filepath, var_filetype, dt_data, bol_active) VALUES ('$title', 
'$filePath','$fileType','NOW(),1)");

mysql_close();

echo($user_Query) . ""; //outputs nothing (? I suck at debugin 
queries)


header("Location:

How could GSSAPI know *which* Apache child's environment to check?...


I really don't know. I guess that's the main thing I want to find out.
I guessed that the environment variable that is set (in the c) code
just before calling ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s would be used, but I
was wrong (the auth log showed me that I was wrong).

I'm sure that it is consistent. I'm sure of that because the same
filename is written to the auth log each time. What you wrote got me
to thinking that maybe Apache gets the request  (that starts a new
session), handles it, and then forks and lets the child to handle the
session, although the parent process keeps handling GSSAPI calls.

I tried to check this, but I didn't find how to get the ENV of all the
httpd processes (I tried /proc//environ, but it seems that it is
not updated during runtime - it always contains the initial
environment). This would probably tell me where GSSAPI could get the
old KRB5CCNAME from. Do you know how to do this?

If you aren't passing it from Apache to GSSAPI, then it's going to
snag whichever env happens to have been set last or...

There's a differnt ENV floating around for each Apache child, I think,
so how is GSSAPI supposed to know which one to snag?


Theoretically, each child has its own environment, and the different
environments should not be accessible to the other children. This
means that (again, theoretically), the process that created the PHP
thread should pass its ENV to PHP that should pass it to ldap that
should pass it to sasl that should pass it to GSSAPI. One of them
seems to look at the environment of another process (probably the
parent).

How can this be? Shouldn't the operating system protect the processes?
After all, ENV is a block of memory that belongs to a certain process.
How come another process is able to access it?

The only thing I can think of is that something along the way is
created in shared memory, and used from all of the processes. In this
case the first process that passed its ENV will "win".

This seems to get very far away from PHP. I'm starting to think that I
should look for what ever it is that is not working/configured
properly somewhere else. Up until now I looked at PHP and Apache. Now
I'm starting to think that the source of this problem can be in
openldap/cyrus-sasl/heimdal. I'm not sure.

Any other ideas will be welcome. In the meantime I will ask the
Apache, ldap, sasl and kerb experts as well...

Re: [PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

[Neo [GC]]

Ah, i thought to remember that the limit is lower on IIS than on Apache, 
maybe i've just some memory faults. ;)


GET is meant to define what to GET, not to define content. This sounds a 
bit academic, but remember that the GET-args are a part of the URI and 
so will also go into the http-log for example. One don't want to have 
2kb per log-line. ;)
Additionally, please think of the great talent of users to fuck things 
up: GET-args will become bookmarks, links etc. and WILL do funny things 
when overused (session-ids...). ;)

And wherever you have your error handling, do:


And for the record, it's not just the HTTP server that trims it, but 
the browser generally does, as well, to avoid things such as memory 
leaks, et cetera.  Internet Exploder, for example, has had a limit of 
2,083 total characters in a GET request, but the actual RFC for HTTP/1.1 
has no limit for the protocol (RFC 2616 Section 3.2.1).


And slightly off-topic, but think about how much the web has changed 
in the last 20 years (well, 17, since the HTTP protocol came about in 
1990) and then think about the fact that it's all still based on 
nothing higher than version 1.1.

This is a normal behaviour. Webservers trim the GET-request at a
certain
length.

You have several options:
- don't do a redirect but return the form, with most clean frameworks it
should be no problem to include the action wich generates the form
- save the variables in a session, then send the redirect-header and
clean the session after regenerating the form
- save the variables in a cookie stored at the client and clean the
cookie afterwards (ugly)

Counting words is almost always a Bad Idea, since you may have users

striptags will attempt to remove any HTML tags.

This avoids most XSS attacks, as the attack is buried in an HTML tag.

You could probably *still* manage to take some kind of user input, and
output some kind of HTML that would have an XSS attack...

But you'd have to work pretty hard at it...

You generally want to call striptags() on the data as it comes in, if
you are not allowing HTML input.  And possibly raise an error if the
original input and the striptags() result don't match, as the user
probably *thought* you were going to accept HTML input...

Or, don't do striptags at all, and, instead...


htmlentities takes text that is about to go to the browser, and makes
it "browser-safe" to display that text as text, and not as HTML.

It converts any "special" characters that have meaning to a browser
into their HTML equivalent entities that will render the symbol that
looks like the original text, rather than tell the browser to render
something else entirely.

You generally want to call htmlentities() right before you send *any*
data to the browser:

$text = "Some big long < block o' text > that you have stored in your
DB.";
$url = "http://example.com/var="; . urlencode('nasty & ugly value, eh?');
$text_html = htmlentities($text);
$url_html = htmlentities($url);
echo "$text\n";
echo "$url_html\n";

It may seem odd at first, but, really, *ANY* data you send to the
browser as data should have htmlentities() called on it.

The only exception would be if you have data that already has HTML
tags buried in it -- and that's almost always a Bad Idea in the first
place, as it gets really tricky to be sure that you aren't sending out
very broken HTML and XSS-infected HTML and ...  An exception might be
if you generate static HTML and cache that, using the techniques above
to create the static HTML in the first place.

You need to compose the URL in Javascript with the correct var and
value in it.

Do something like:

url = './script.php?var=' + value;
alert(url);
window.location = url;

so you can SEE the URL you are using.

Yes, if the browser only has ? and the $_GET is empty, that is
consistent.

There is no ?var=value there.

Excellent!

I don't see how it CAN be okay, since, like, it's not sending you to
the right URL, and it's not working... :-)

I've lost track of where this "loop" is going at this point, because
the indentation of the macro is non-existent...

Indent the PHP code correctly, and it should get pretty clear.

Format is probably some variant of http://php.net/sprintf

Ok,

1. Pull out the top 100.

2. Run a standard deviation on the group,

3. Take all those who fall within a standard deviation from the top 
and make that the t5 group (the most popular) and remove them from 
future consideration.


For example, if top value is 100 and the standard deviation is 5, 
then take all things that fall between 95 and 100 as the t5 group.


4. Then expand standard deviation twice and take the next group that 
falls within the second deviation and tag them t4 and remove them 
from future consideration.


5. Repeat and finally everything that falls outside of t2 is t1.

I think that will do it.

Fw: [PHP] Custom database session handler and data concurrent access from ajax request

[Nicolas Quirin]

Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 6:22 PM
Subject: Re: [PHP] Custom database session handler and data concurrent 
access from ajax request




Ok thanks a lot to confirm my problem.
I have partially implemented a write/read session class handler (not the 
customized session save handler wich read/write data from database)
This class is only a semaphore manager for read/write object in the 
current session. Semaphore is created if not existent, semaphore is 
acquired if free, blocking if process must wait for this ressource.


From my first tests of it, less error occured...

But having a semaphore by safe object stored in the current session is 
cost memory issue: a created semaphore must have a time to live equal to 
the life time of the current session since i could'nt know which script is 
executed before another and which script could remove the semaphore...


So semaphore are removed by session garbage collector. :-s.

This issue cannot support 1 connected users...I think:

1 * (nbsafeobjet * semaphore memory size) = ARGH

To finish, I must create a file per semaphore since sem_get require an id 
generated with ftock()!!!

Heavy issue

Is this solution really bad?

I have search and find another solution : flock() and create a file per 
safe objet in the session.

Yes.

You *do* need to deal with this, and the sample code on php.net
doesn't do that.  It only works for the Web 1.0 (?) idea of
interaction with serial requests to alter session.


Any idea? comment? I can sent my session handler php class


Some kind of lock/mutex/whatever will be needed -- which will make
your AJAX calls serial, not parallel.

So you want to MINIMIZE your session writing section of code, call
session_write_close at the end of it, and do that as soon as possible
at the tip-top of the script, to make the serial-ness of the scripts
as low-impact as possible.

Also re-consider if you really really need to cram as much "stuff"
into a session as you originally architected.  Often-times I've seen
folks putting an awful lot of stuff in session data, and they don't
NEED to, it was just "convenient" -- Once you start down the AJAX
road, it seems to me like you want to re-think that "convenience" and
go for minimalism of what you write into a session.  But I ain't been
down that road, so maybe I'm full of it. :-)

If you aren't passing it from Apache to GSSAPI, then it's going to
snag whichever env happens to have been set last or...

There's a differnt ENV floating around for each Apache child, I think,
so how is GSSAPI supposed to know which one to snag?

I deleted the original, but...

90% of the macro can be converted to PHP by putting $ in front of all
the variables.

90% of the function names are the same, or very similar.

There was one "MOD" call that needs to change to %

Do all that, run it in PHP, fix any syntax errors, and then run tests
side-by-side and compare outputs.

I'm betting it's a no-brainer conversion, based on what I recall of
the OP.

Not really, no, not with the re-direct...

But why do you feel the need to do a re-direct anyway?

With a simple re-structuring of your code, you can just do an
"include" to get the form back in with the data pre-filled, and have
them try again.

Why waste an HTTP connection, more hard drive hits to include all your
function libraries (or whatever), ...?

You've already GOT all the info you need in your hands right there to
display what you want to display.  Just display it.

Some of them are definitely listening here.

And all of them are trying to juggle needs/demands/desires of an
enormous community with more variety than, errr, dog species?

Lord knows I'm not real happy with some of the decisions/directions,
but you know what?  Anybody *really* unhappy that cares enough can get
off their butt and start submitting patches, and push things a
different direction.  Self included, mind you. :-)

Re: [PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

[Daniel Brown]

   Beating a dead horse here, since it's been mentioned twice already, but
yeah --- $_SESSION's are the way to go with this.



   And wherever you have your error handling, do:


   And for the record, it's not just the HTTP server that trims it, but the
browser generally does, as well, to avoid things such as memory leaks, et
cetera.  Internet Exploder, for example, has had a limit of 2,083 total
characters in a GET request, but the actual RFC for HTTP/1.1 has no limit
for the protocol (RFC 2616 Section 3.2.1).

   And slightly off-topic, but think about how much the web has changed in
the last 20 years (well, 17, since the HTTP protocol came about in 1990)
and then think about the fact that it's all still based on nothing higher
than version 1.1.

You have several options:
- don't do a redirect but return the form, with most clean frameworks it
should be no problem to include the action wich generates the form
- save the variables in a session, then send the redirect-header and
clean the session after regenerating the form
- save the variables in a cookie stored at the client and clean the
cookie afterwards (ugly)

Re: [PHP] Custom database session handler and data concurrent access from ajax request

[Nicolas Quirin]

Nobody could help me???

Subject: [PHP] Custom database session handler and data concurrent access 
from ajax request





Hi,

i'm currently working on a web site that use AJAX requests to load a web 
page by
part. So, my apache server gives quickly an answer and current client must 
wait
a little bit in order to have the entire web page, but while this loading 
step,

he can already see my partially displayed web page and use it!

This web site uses php session, based on cookies, but not only cookies 
(cookies

are just prefered). session.auto_start is false in order to allow object
declarations before session starts (so I can stored little object in 
session)

There is no session handler defined in php.ini, line has been commented).

In each php script, i start manually the session with session_start and i 
use
register_shutdown to register session_write_close in order to write 
current

session when the current script is finished.

Sessions are managed in a mysql database, with autocommit enabled. I'm 
using

mysql_pconnect in my handler to read/write session data (same user, same
password, same host, always).

Read/write session into database works...but not fine.

Scenario: scripts are parts of a main page, scripts are called by ASYNC 
AJAX GET
Script 1 modifies an object A from session and re-serializes it into 
session,
Script 2 is launched when client is receiving a response from the server 
for

script 1(php output buffering is enabled),
Script 2 displayed object A content from session and flush object A 
content,
re-serializes it into session, but sometime Script 2 doesn't displayed 
object A
modification by script 1. More terrible, reloading the entire page 
displays all
the content of the modified object A (but script 2 has flushed its 
content!)


I'm asking if custom session handler must implement mutex system or 
anything to
prevent concurrent access and terrible random errors of session 
writing/reading
and moreConcurrent access does'nt seems to be safely managed 
natively...


Any idea? comment? I can sent my session handler php class

Not really, no, not with the re-direct...

But why do you feel the need to do a re-direct anyway?

With a simple re-structuring of your code, you can just do an
"include" to get the form back in with the data pre-filled, and have
them try again.

Why waste an HTTP connection, more hard drive hits to include all your
function libraries (or whatever), ...?

You've already GOT all the info you need in your hands right there to
display what you want to display.  Just display it.

There is a problem with this. As the GET method, which the redirect is 
using, only allows a certain amount of characters, the text is always 
cut down.


I use this:
HEADER("Location:".$data[rurl]."?error=".$error.$parameter);

Is there a way to redirect the user to the form and fill in large text?

[PHP] Re: Tag Cloud (WAS Deviation? Distribution? OT?)

[Richard Lynch]

First and foremost, Oliver was right, and I was wrong.

The data is in a power curve, or maybe logarithmic, or whatever curve
you want to call it, depending on which expert you consult...

But as I realized last night, the data is ALREADY in that "curve" and
by simply breaking down in even increments from MIN to MAX, the
"curve" works itself out correctly.

Or, in other words, I was trying to complicate things by designing
logarithmic graph paper, when all I really wanted was standard graph
paper, to graph the data as it is in Reality.

Of course, others might choose to "shape" their curve by a log (or
other function) but most probably won't need to.

Here's the code I am using for my Tag Cloud (aka tagcloud), and it
works fine:


  //fat screen editor, sorry...
  $query = "select tag, popular from (select tag, count(*) as popular
from entry_tag group by tag order by popular desc limit 100) as p
order by tag";
  $tagged = mysql_query($query, $connection);
  if (!$tagged){
$messages[] = "Tagged Browsing offline for maintenance. Please try
again later or contact us.";
error_log(mysql_error($connection));
error_log($query);
  }
  $tagged_a = array();
  $max = 0;
  $min = 0x;
  while ($tagged && (list($tag, $popular) = mysql_fetch_row($tagged))){
$tagged_a[$tag] = $popular;
$max = max($max, $popular);
$min = min($min, $popular);
  }
  $distribution = ($max - $min) / 5;

// function here which prints out masthead, body, etc
// including anything in $messages array, with suitable div tag
// for error messages

  echo "";
  foreach($tagged_a as $tag => $popular){
$tag_html = htmlentities($tag);
$pop = round(($popular - $min) / $distribution);
$pop = max(1, $pop); $pop = min(5, $pop);
echo "$tag_html ";
  }
  echo "\n";

The CSS looks like:

.tagCloud {
  margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
  width: 830px;
}

.tagCloud span {
  padding: 3px;
}

.t1 {
  color: #c3c2ba;
  font-size: .8em;
}

.t2 {
  color: #8F8D7A;
  font-size: .9em;
}

.t3 {
  color: #615f4e;
  font-size: 1em;
}

.t4 {
  color: #535142;
  font-size: 1.2em;
}

.t5 {
  color: #434237;
  font-size: 1.4em;
}


Of course, you are free to tweak the colors and sizes as you see fit :-)

Since there are only a hundred items, ever, I chose to iterate the
result set, putting the data into an array, and track min/max as I go.

It might be slightly faster to run a second query to get min/max, or
to rewind the result set instead of making an array, or whatever, but,
really, it's fine as it is for only 100 items.

Thanks to Tedd for answering the question I asked, I think, even
though I was asking the wrong question. :-)

[PHP] Redirect via GET is loosing characters

Hi there,

I am checking plausability inside a php script that receives a POST 
submit. If an error occures the user should be redirected back, along 
with his original data filled into the forms.


There is a problem with this. As the GET method, which the redirect is 
using, only allows a certain amount of characters, the text is always 
cut down.


I use this:
HEADER("Location:".$data[rurl]."?error=".$error.$parameter);

Is there a way to redirect the user to the form and fill in large text?

Thank you for your help,

Nice array, if you need it, you can use it directly in PHP, just add a
$ sign before the variable and ; at the end, and it is a PHP array :)


I've snipped the rest of your code, because it's very though to
understand the code if you can't read the language. Like i said, show
me what you want to convert from and to, so that i can help you
writing something new, or comment your own macro in english so that

[PHP] Looking for an Architectural Guru

[bruce]

Hi.

We're creating a small team for the creation of some specific web based
apps/services. Currently we are 5-6 guys, covering
design/development/sales/marketing/Linux admin... We're in the process of
rounding out the team with DB skills, as well as a serious senior level kind
of architect resource.

(We're looking in a number of locations, and thought we'd post here as well.
If this isn't the right place, let us know, and just delete the posting!)

This is a seriously risky attempt at creating a business as we're creating a
team, where there is no initial compensation/salary. This is basically a
group of highly skilled guys getting together, to build what should be a
couple of successful consumer/business oriented apps. The approach is to
create a Sweat Equity based business, where equity is distributed to the
team.

In order to really succeed, we believe we need a seriously talented, highly
skilled architect, someone who's been though the battles, someone who can
architect apps/services that can handle 100,000s of users per month, in a
secure manner. We'd like the guru to have an overall understanding of both
the software and hardware aspects of creating scalable sites.

If you're interested, let's talk. If you also know of anybody that might fit
this description, who might be interested, please pass this to the person!

Thanks

That wasn't the reason.  Actually, I'm not sure what the reason was, but I
suspect is has something to do with being overly busy and having 5 projects
competing for my time yesterday.  One of those, "oops ... in hindsight that
wasn't the correct way to do that." kind of things.

I will post it to the internals list.  Sorry for the noise here.

Maybe Bill wanted us lowly users to know that the all powerful developers

By quoting the spam in full in your replies you are aiding and abetting.

Re: [PHP] Re: A problem with passing $_GET in an url

[Dan Shirah]

Could you please post your code.

It sounds like you have a submit button that when clicked goes to a
javascript function which pops up a confirmation box.  Is that correct?

If you're using window.location="./script.php?var=value", it's not
actually using a variable, it's using a string.

If you're just using the above as an example, then could you please post
the line of javascript for redirecting.

That is not a request for an opinion, it's an attempt to get a product

Add to that the fact that you then went ahead to offer your own 
"opinion" of this service that has nothing to do with you, and you start 
to see why we think it's spam.


As far as which ecommerce package is the best it depends on a lot of 
factors, and has been discussed at length on this mailing list many many 
times. Please check the archives.

Ashop Commerce sucks. The product is anti-productive, badly written 
and riddled with potential exploits that may expose sensitive data. 
Don't use it if you value having customers and not being ripped off.

ashop in a complete ecommerce application web based and without

[PHP] Custom database session handler and data concurrent access from ajax request

[n . quirin]

Hi,

i'm currently working on a web site that use AJAX requests to load a web page by
part. So, my apache server gives quickly an answer and current client must wait
a little bit in order to have the entire web page, but while this loading step,
he can already see my partially displayed web page and use it!

This web site uses php session, based on cookies, but not only cookies (cookies
are just prefered). session.auto_start is false in order to allow object
declarations before session starts (so I can stored little object in session)
There is no session handler defined in php.ini, line has been commented).

In each php script, i start manually the session with session_start and i use
register_shutdown to register session_write_close in order to write current
session when the current script is finished.

Sessions are managed in a mysql database, with autocommit enabled. I'm using
mysql_pconnect in my handler to read/write session data (same user, same
password, same host, always).

Read/write session into database works...but not fine.

Scenario: scripts are parts of a main page, scripts are called by ASYNC AJAX GET
Script 1 modifies an object A from session and re-serializes it into session,
Script 2 is launched when client is receiving a response from the server for
script 1(php output buffering is enabled),
Script 2 displayed object A content from session and flush object A content,
re-serializes it into session, but sometime Script 2 doesn't displayed object A
modification by script 1. More terrible, reloading the entire page displays all
the content of the modified object A (but script 2 has flushed its content!)

I'm asking if custom session handler must implement mutex system or anything to
prevent concurrent access and terrible random errors of session writing/reading
and moreConcurrent access does'nt seems to be safely managed natively...

Any idea? comment? I can sent my session handler php class

Thanks guys!


I think that starting over is better then trying to convert this excel
macro. What exactly do you want to convert, from ?? to ??
Since all functions are in a language that isn't english, dutch,
german or frisian, I can't understand.





laUnidades = Array("UN", "DOS", "TRES", "CUATRO", "CINCO", "SEIS", "SIETE",
"OCHO", "NUEVE", "DIEZ", "ONCE", "DOCE", "TRECE", "CATORCE", "QUINCE",
"DIESISEIS", "DIESISIETE", "DIESIOCHO", "DIESINUEVE", "VEINTE", "VEINTIUN",
"VEINTIDOS", "VEINTITRES", "VEINTICUATRO", "VEINTICINCO", "VEINTISEIS",

laDecenas = Array("DIEZ", "VEINTE", "TREINTA", "CUARENTA", "CINCUENTA",

laCentenas = Array("CIENTO", "DOSCIENTOS", "TRESCIENTOS", "CUATROCIENTOS",
"QUINIENTOS", "SEISCIENTOS", "SETECIENTOS", "OCHOCIENTOS", "NOVECIENTOS")

Nice array, if you need it, you can use it directly in PHP, just add a
$ sign before the variable and ; at the end, and it is a PHP array :)


I've snipped the rest of your code, because it's very though to
understand the code if you can't read the language. Like i said, show
me what you want to convert from and to, so that i can help you
writing something new, or comment your own macro in english so that
people can understand it.
