Or, are you looking for away to be able to pull up ABC Company and see all the phone numbers listed to them? If it's the latter, I'd recommend setting up a database with a few tables, depending on the size of your company, possibly a table for customer names and an ID, then a table with phone numbers and a Matching ID field. Then you can either search, or browse through the customer directory, and choose the company you are looking for and then pull up the current phone numbers.

Re: [PHP] Date Issue
Your doing the same thing i did look at date(d)
When its the 31 like yesteday of course it can not find the 31 of months that
do not have them.
Thats why it errored.
String worked up till monday which explained alot. I just did not look at what
i was doing. changed the code to
$zomonth = date(F, mktime(0,0,0, date(m)-1, 1, date('Y')));
works perfect
thanks to dan who pointed out the lack of sleep in me :)
I generally use 1 hour after midnight with mktime() to avoid the edge
cases of daylight savings etc...
mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') - 1, date('d'), date('Y'));
You also have to consider that you *COULD* call this right on the cusp
of midnight, and the call to date('d') could happen one day, and the
call to mktime( ) the next day as the clock ticked over...
At 1 am, the day doesn't change over...
Larry's probably right that you should use DateTime, but it's too
new-fangled for an old fart like me to have got around to messing with
it yet...

You will notice i used all options apostrophes double quotes and no

You need apostrophes (or quotes) around your args to date() in the

date('m')
As it stands now, PHP assumes you mean the constant m
(http://php.net/define) and that's not defined, so they are all 0.
So you are passing in 0 to ALL the args.

I'm not sure how things are now that number portability is available. A couple of my previous employers were cellular phone companies. It was my understanding that we had to purchase blocks of numbers within a prefix. Thus, for any given prefix (NXX) we had the entire range of 10,000 number (-). There may be numbers within the range that were reserved for special purposes. These were loaded as individual rows in a database that could be searched and assigned as needed. Thus, we knew what numbers we owned and also knew, from our subscriber records which numbers were in service. At that point, it would be a matter of database joins. However, I haven't worked in the industry for almost 8 years now (and my job was not very technical at the time), so I'm not sure what wrinkles things like number portability have thrown in or how it is handled.

For instance, is it too wild to think of Apache/php listening on the LDAP port (or so), get the request, parse it, get the data from PostgreSQL and send it back to the LDAP client? You probably wouldn't run it through Apache, but you probably COULD run an LDAP server of sorts using http://php.net/sockets Main problem is one of performance. The reason most people choose LDAP in the first place is to get blazing fast performance, because they NEED it.

You may be able to leverage from the code in http://php.net/ldap to move most of the heavy lifting into an extension, or perhaps you could expand that extension to do so, and then you just have a simple PHP wrapper to handle the sockets part.

Re: [PHP] Date Issue
If you want the DAY before, you can use the -1 for the day, and get
what you want.
mktime() will wrap the month as needed.
But, yeah, if you try to hit a MONTH before by putting in a month
before AND the day, it will slingshot back and forth to get what you
don't want.
If you want the MONTH before, I *suspect* you can use date('m') for
the argument, and do NOT provide a day, and it may do what you want.
But for sure, if you use ONE (1) for the day, and then -1 for the
month it will do what you want, since every month has a ONE (1) day.
Anything 1 from 28 will work fine, actually, but using 1 is probably
clearest:
$today = mktime();
$tomorrow = mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d') + 1);
$next_month = mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') + 1, 1);
$last_month = mktime(1, 0, 0, date('m') - 1, 1);
I've been using these for a web calendar since nineteen-ninety-mumble,
and they've worked fine, through leap years.

$month echo's MARCH should be Feb

That's because you're using today's date('d');, which is 31.
February doesn't have 31 days, nor does April, so mktime() forces
them to the following month to correct the error.

Re: [PHP] phone number allocation manager
Jim Lucas wrote: I work for a telephone internet company. Currently we have a tool that allows us to track the allocation of IP's to customers. What I am looking for is a tool that will allow me to track the allocation of phone numbers to our customers. Building the tool for IP allocation management was pretty easy since the IP world works off a set of rules that govern the allocation of IP's. Unfortunately the phone number world does not have the same rule set. Actually, it has no rules. Has anybody built, heard of, or used a tool like this? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks much! I understand that the storage and restriction and other status issues are very easy. The storage isn't what I am worried about. Think about IP addressing. Mathematically you have block sizes that have predefined starting points. You can't start a block on an odd number, you can't start a /25 on x.x.x.32. Certain rules apply to the assignment of a block. I will describe the tool that we use for IP allocation and tracking. on the initial page, you are presented with all the ranges of IPs that we are currently tracking. Some are /19, some /24, some /16, etc... better yet, I will provide screen shots! here is a link to the main page. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/phonenumbermanager/index.jpg From this page you can view the current assignments in each available range, search for a given string, ip address, etc.. or even find all given /xx available in each range. If I click 'find block' I get this. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/phonenumbermanager/new_assignment.jpg This allows me to assign a given block to a customer/account. Now on this page, I can assign other details to each number. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/phonenumbermanager/number_details.jpg on the previous page, we would track things like line assignment, service assignment, and other various things. So, to sum it up, what I am wondering, has anybody used a tool that had this type of search feature. Being able to calculate available number locations based on a given block size, and typical starting point? Adding special attention to blocks that start at a xxx-xxx-xxx0 base point. When I went to Sprint to get my cell phone, I saw they had a tool that randomly pulled 10 numbers or so that were currently available. But this was for individual numbers. I can build that just fine. But calculating the available blocks is another story. Sorry for being so long winded. I have actually typed less code then I just typed in this email and almost have it. (i think)... :) Any ideas? -- Jim Lucas Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

[PHP] Severe Security Issue
Hey, folks, ignore the coincidence of the date when reading this email. During the Scranton PHP Group's meeting last night, the topic was security - go through all of the PHP engine's source code and identify and find patches for possible security issues. In the process, we detected a huge security vulnerability that affects all versions since at least 4.1.0. PHP apparently has a built-in bytecode-parsing component in the engine itself, and while we couldn't find any documentation for it at all, we were able to exploit the vulnerability in a variety of ways. And the things we were able to do weren't pretty: escalated privileges, subsequently leading to filesystem dd, password changes, and even remote installations. Not nice stuff at all. This works regardless of whether or not open_basedir, safe_mode, remote_url_fopen, remote_url_include, et cetera, are turned on or off. It's also not *NIX-dependent. And because of Windows' inherent security issues itself, we didn't even have to play around with the trivial privilege escalation routines; send one injected request as a GET or POST to PHP (on Apache and IIS alike, and probably other HTTP servers). Unfortunately, the web servers didn't filter the request, and PHP parses the information internally. Script sanity seems to mean nil, since we were even able to do it with a blank test.php file. It looks like anything that calls up the PHP engine will process the query string. There is, however, an easy fix, which is a good thing for Windows users, since most probably don't know how to compile even basic code. Edit your php.ini file and add the following line: remote_bytecode_include = Off And then restart Apache/IIS/etc. to have the changes take effect. The part of the engine source responsible for bytecode inclusion does recognize that flag, thank God, so even as serious as the issue is, at least there's an extremely simple fix. Once we did that and tried again, the exploits weren't at all successful. So there's some good news there. For those interested, no, I'm not going to send exploit examples to the list. Those of you who are serious know that it would be extremely irresponsible to do so, especially considering the very open nature. So for any of you lurkers or wannabe-skript kiddies who contact me even off-list, your messages will be summarily ignored. Those of you on shared web hosts will want to alert your hosting providers immediately as well. We've been sending emails to server admins, but as you can guess, it's impossible for us to reach all of them. So without trying to sound like a chain letter, please pass this on ASAP. -- /Daniel P.

FOO::BAR::ME ## A namespace constant or class constant? Since there isn't really a way for PHP to know what it is looking for, what would be a good method to write the autoload? Assuming the file structure: - Namespaces are in separate directories NS1::NS2::Class1 == NS1/NS2/class.Calss1.php - Namespace files and class files are prefixed with ns.*.php and class.*.php (respectively) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Randomizing the file referred to in the HTML img / tag is probably faster than requesting a script that returns random image binary content. For one, you avoid browser cache issues. Two, the browser will cache the requested image so if it happens to be the random one in another page request then it won't be re-downloaded. Now using the first solution of generating a random src value for an image tag, caching the list of image options will probably have very little effect since you will either: a) have to request the cache from a database b) request the cache from the filesystem c) install and configure memcache and retrieve the cache from memory Generally speaking, for 25 to 30 images, you're operating system will do a good job of keeping the list in it's own cache and returning that list very promptly when you perform opendir() and subsequent readdir() requests.

Re: [PHP] how to possibly cache something and the theory of better performance / better speed
I used to use a script to grab a random image from a folder of images by
scanning the folder, returning the list of images, getting one of them
randomly and displaying it.
Isn't that what the code is doing? Maybe I'm missing something but
you've only mentioned one method.
What's the second method to compare against?
OK now, getting greedy I want to take it to another level. Instead of
having to read the folder for images every time, why not read the image
names into a file so that we can maintain therbey caching the list. This is
based on 25-30 images in the folder you might even have more. Since in this
case we're not going to add images too often, then we can upload the images
delete the cache list and a new one will be generated hopefully saving time
for all future executions.
Assuming only 25-30 images am I splitting hairs here?
Yes. I don't think you'll notice any difference with this number, though
a quick script would tell you for certain.
$orig_image = 'logo.jpg';
$cache_folder = '/path/to/folder';
for ($i = 0; $i 500; $i++) {
copy($cache_folder.'/'.$orig_image, $cache_folder . '/' . $i . '.jpg');
}
Of course if I have 200 pictures, then this is the way to go but would this
really make a difference?
Once you get a lot of images (500? 1000? more?) it will but if you only
expect 30 there's not much point.
Using a cache file you'll need extra checks (make sure nobody slips in a
symlink to /etc/passwd or a url or something) - but you should be doing
those checks anyway.
