RE: [PHP] Re: Log files

[Haluk AKIN]

If you are planning to come up with relations between these errors and other
activities on your website then you need to use a database.
If you will use this error log only for debugging purposes then a text file
should be enough.

>From a coder's perspective the workload of coding both of these methods
should be similar.

Opening and closing a text file 1,000 or more times a day won't be a problem
either. Similarly, opening&closing that many database connections won't be
any problem either. Therefore, if I were you I wouldn't worry about the
performance.

Cheers,
Haluk

Using a database you're hitting a file the same number of times (the 
database is in a file or files) but you have the mem/cpu overhead of 
the db itself.  Having said that, if you are using a database already 
for the site then might as well log to it.  I wouldn't implement a 
database only for the purpose of logging.

[PHP] PHPNews Vs phpns

[John Comerford]

I am looking at including news on a website I am putting together.  From 
my google searches it seems the two main players are PHPNews and phpns.


Are these the main open source news systems ?
Is one considered better than the other ?
Anyone got any real world experiences with either of these products ?
Anyone recommend an alternative ?

TIA,

Re: [PHP] how to create a slide show using PHP5

[Michael Kubler]

You could look into something like PicLens lite.
http://piclens.com/lite/webmasterguide.php

It's more of an image viewer than slideshow. But the FFox plugin works 
great with Flickr, youtube, etc..

Basically you create a media RSS feed of the photos or video.
There's two flavours.
PicsLens is the plugin for browsers, while PicLens lite uses javascript 
and lets people who don't have the browser plugin view the photos.

Opening/closing a file that number of times won't cause a problem, 1,000
 isn't a lot a day. If you needed to write something 1,000 times a
minute, you probably couldn't do that with a file without getting into
contention/locking issues.

What will you do with the logs once you have them?

Do you need to run reports based on the data in them?
Will you need to search for information in the logs?

If you need to run reports or search for info in the logs, I'd use a
database.

If you just need the logs for "Person A logged in at this time" type
messages then a file should be fine.

Hi Bastien,

Thank you for your quick response. Where may I find sample? I tried 
searching the web but only found samples and tutorials that required 
flash for the actual slide show. Since I run Linux and Adobe/Macromedia 
do not make a flash editor for Linux, flash is not an option.

Hi,

If you are fine with using flash you could use some ready solution like
this:

For ready solutions like this you won't need a flash editor.

for the ease of it, I would go for the database.

[PHP] Using zend_hash_find when key is of Integer type

[Ambrish]

Hi All,

I am writing a PHP extension and over here I am trying to use zend_hash_find
API to search for key in a hash. But the problem here is "my key is an
integer and not *char". So this zend_hash_find will not work.

Can anyone tell me how can I use zend_hash_find (or any other API) to search
key, where key is of integer type?

Ehrm... you're not *completely* wrong. ;) I do most of my programming at
work in ASP.NET/VB.NET, and I've come to understand that the VIEWSTATE
in an ASP.NET page is more or less for retaining form values and
client-side settings. IIS/ASP.NET still uses sessions--and in much the
same way as PHP.

added a small test script that exhibits the problem on my system. It 
may work well the first time, but when repeating the same command a 
second time, the "weird" behavior starts.


It could very well be some kind of problem with "less", but since I 
can only reproduce the problem with output from PHP CLI, I thought 
it's worth asking here.


Did something about PHP CLI output change lately?


This has nothing to do with PHP. The keystrokes are processed by less 
so your problem lies there or more likely with the terminal emulation 
you're using. Please try a more relevant list.

I agree the keystrokes are processed by less. This is probably more a 
problem with "less". Yes I will ask on other lists as well.


I thought it was irrelevant to PHP until I tried to provoke the same 
behavior by reading large files or other console input. Nope, only PHP 
output does it, so I figured someone here might have encountered this 
behavior too.

Maybe you didn't

Re: [PHP] CURL de-bugging: So why am I not getting the results page on the target site?

[ioannes]

Thanks Chris and Andrew,

An interesting article here on VIEWSTATE in asp: 
http://www.dotnetjohn.com/articles.aspx?articleid=71 refers to MAC 
encoding using SHA1 or MD5, alternatively Triple DES symmetric 
algorithm.  However, in either event, VIEWSTATE seems to be just what is 
sent by the server which the server expects to receive back unmodified.  
I tried the same input form as on the target server on a test page on my 
site with the action on the form to the target server and that works OK 
to get the results page on the target server.  I have also tested on my 
server that the CURL POST variables are giving sensible inputs like the 
ones that the page would produce on GET.  In the process, I also learned 
that colons in the POST variable names don't need to be changed for HTML 
encoding, spaces in the variable values do need to be, anyway the POST 
variables seem to work OK as I said.  Whatever is or is not being sent 
by the script as opposed to the input form on a test page of my site is 
the difference that I am looking for.  I will try another site see can I 
learn anything in the process.


Oh, and decoding the string as suggested 
(print_r(base64_decode($view_state_string));) gives one value in the 
array and a mixture of English and other characters plus most of the 
page: eg 
d
2Ö8

 Version=0.0.0.0, and other 
characters that do not copy to this email etc.  As above, I don't see 
that this is interfering with CURLing the results page if it is simply 
sent back in the post.

[PHP] URL Rewrite

[Subhranil]

Hi All,

I want to show one URL at browser and content of different URL.

Like user can see the URL at address bar like http://localhost/test/home/ 
or http://localhost/test/tech/php/but content of page will be
http://localhost/test/index.php
The URL of the address bar will never change to
http://localhost/test/index.php

Still a  newbie! 

Thanks,
Subhranild.

Fifo nodes are equivalent to a pipe (|) and have no size on the file
system and therefore the write won't finish until some process reads
from the node. See the man page http://linux.die.net/man/7/fifo .

[PHP] Session variables disappear (some of them only)

[karma]

Hi !

I have a very weird issue since the last Apache upgrade (-> 2.2.8-r3, a month ago), but I'm not sure it is related (well, I'm 
pretty sure it's not).


Like many people, I've written an application that use PHP session variables, like 
$_SESSION["my_variable"].

Sometimes (it doesn't happen all the time), _some_ of these variables are not written in the session file and they are lost 
after a simple header("Location:...); (same domain). The session file is in the right directory (permissions are fine), but some 
of my variables are missing.


The facts :
- Apache 2.2.9 + PHP 5.2.6_rc4 running on a Gentoo (up-to-date)
- all my scripts begin with session_start(). I've tried to add session_write_close() before every header(Location:...) call, it 
doesn't help.
- I didn't change anything in my program (it has been running just fine for 2 years), it just began to fail from time to time (I 
would say 10 times a day). There is no hidden unset() function : it would fail for everyone.

- these variables are all set correctly, and they don't have reserved names.
- only a few variables disappear, but they are always the same ones (could it 
depend on their position in the session file ?!?)
- the session files are very small (max 100ko)
- it seems that it doesn't depend on the browser, but IE6 and IE7 seem to be the most affected ones (it may be because my users 
mostly use these browsers).

- I can't reproduce this issue from my local network (any OS/browser - it would 
be too easy :)
- reverting to the previous stable Apache and/or PHP versions doesn't help.
- I didn't change any php.ini directive.

Any idea ?

Thanks !


PS: if you need more details, just ask. The only thing I can't do is pasting 
the code : the scripts are quite huge.
