Cook wrote: Let me preface my question by noting that I am virtually a PHP novice. Although I am a long-time webmaster, and have used PHP for some years to give visitors access to information in my SQL database, this is my first attempt to use it for another purpose. I have browsed the mailing list archives and have searched online but have not yet succeeded in teaching myself how to do what I want to do. This need not provoke a lengthy discussion or involve extensive hand-holding - if someone can point to an appropriate code sample or online tutorial that might do the trick. I am the author of a number of PDF files that serve as genealogical reference works. My problem is that there are a number of sites which are posing as search engines and which display my PDF files in their entirety on their own sites. These pirate sites are not simply opening a window that displays my files as they appear on my site. They are using Google Docs to display copies of my files that are cached or stored elsewhere online. The proof of that is that I can modify one of my files and upload it to my site. The file, as seen on my site, immediately displays the modification. The same file, as displayed on the pirate sites, is unmodified and may remain unmodified for weeks. It is obvious that my files, which are stored under public_html, are being spidered and then stored or cached. This displeases me greatly. I want my files, some of which have cost an enormous amount of work over many years, to be available only on my site. Legitimate search engines, such as Google, may display a snippet, but they do not display the entire file - they link to my site so the visitor can get the file from me. A little study has indicated to me that if I store those files in a folder outside the web root and use PHP to provide access they will not be spidered. Writing a PHP script to provide access to the files in that folder is what I need help with. I have experimented with a number of code samples but have not been able to make things work. Could any of you point to code samples or tutorials that might help me? Remember that, aside from the code I have written to handle my SQL database I am a PHP novice. Dale H. Cook, Member, NEHGS and MA Society of Mayflower Descendants; Plymouth Co. MA Coordinator for the USGenWeb Project Administrator of http://plymouthcolony.net You can't link to these files outside of the web root using any html tags - you have to do it thru php. So, instead of an a tag pointing to it, just have the a tag point to a script with a url containing a ?file=xxx portion as in: a href=pdflookups.php?filename=pdf_1Show Me File 1/a In that script you simply recognize the filename argument and retrieve it from the folder that you are storing it in and send that pdf to the client or place it in the page that you are currently trying to display. Whatever. And use a captcha (which I personally can never read!) to keep the robots at bay. ---End Message--- ---BeginMessage--- Hello Dale, The spiders are not the only problem. The issue here is that anyone can download your files from your website and then make them available elsewhere. In order to address the problem, you should create a Members Restricted Area where members only could download your files. You can then make your PDF directory only visible through your Members Restricted Area. That directory would be invisible to the web. In some Linux distros, if the file/directory is not a member of www-data, it is not visible online. But you can still link the files to your PHP page. Ravi. On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at

You could use is_numeric for that, though it also accepts floats.

for that type of test I have always used this:

When comparing a string and an int, PHP will translate the string to int
too, and of course they will always be equal then.
So:
$a = abc;
if($a == (int)$a) echo YES;
else echo NO;
Will always return YES.

H... Interesting. Looking back at my code base where I thought I was
doing that, turns out the final results were not that, but this:
$value = asdf1234;
if ( $value === (string)intval($value) ) {

it seems that there might be a better possible solution for what the OP
is requesting.

An important note:
This function expects a string to be useful, so for example passing in

[PHP] Undefined index....
I have inherited a mess of a home-grown PHP framework that literally
fills the error_log with 100's of thousands of messages each day. First
order of business was rotating the logs, now we are working through each
error to solve them. This is a fairly basic error, but I for the life of
me cannot remember what the solution is.
I have a recursive function that reads from XML files and replaces xi:
include directives. It looks like this -
function includeXML($file, $locale, $url, $level = 1) {
// stuff
while(($line = fgets($fp)) !== false) {
if($pos === false) {
$xml .= $line;
} else {
includeXML('repository/' . $included, $locale, (int)$level
+ $pos - 1);
}
}
}
Why do I get the notice that $xml is an undefined index? I do not want
to suppress the notice, I just want to take care of it properly. I
attempted setting $xml within the function but then the whole function
fails for some reason in the depths of this hideous framework. Can
anyone provide any insight? TVMIA!

includeXML('repository/' . $included, $locale, (int)$level + $pos -
1);
}
}
}
Why do I get the notice that $xml is an undefined index? I do not want to
suppress the notice, I just want to take care of it properly. I attempted
setting $xml within the function but then the whole function fails for some
reason in the depths of this hideous framework. Can anyone provide any insight?

Here's what I'd do: make sure your details and your website info are plastered across every page of the PDF files. Make sure that where copies exist it's going to be obvious where the content came from. It sounds like you don't charge for the content (this problem wouldn't exist if you did), so you have nothing financial to gain from controlling these external copies, other than wanting it to be clear from whence it came and where to find more. At the end of the day the question is this: would you rather control access to your creation (in which case charge a nominal fee for it), or would you prefer that it (and your name/cause) gets in to as many hands as possible.

I have inherited a mess of a home-grown PHP framework that literally
fills the error_log with 100's of thousands of messages each day. First
order of business was rotating the logs, now we are working through each
error to solve them. This is a fairly basic error, but I for the life of
me cannot remember what the solution is.
I have a recursive function that reads from XML files and replaces xi:
include directives. It looks like this -
function includeXML($file, $locale, $url, $level = 1) {
// stuff
while(($line = fgets($fp)) !== false) {
if($pos === false) {
$xml .= $line;
} else {
includeXML('repository/' . $included, $locale, (int)$level
+ $pos - 1);
}
}
}
Why do I get the notice that $xml is an undefined index?
Because it's undefined. So is $pos. From what you've written above, both are
local to includeXML. But neither is passed in as a parameter, nor is global.
You can't initialise it within the function, it seems to me.
If $xml is supposed to be appended to and grown as you recurse up and down,
then you have two choices:
1) Make them global
2) Pass both as extra parameters to includeXML
In both cases, each needs to be initialised before the first call to the
recursive function
Solution (1)
$xml = '';
$pos = 0;// Presumably.
includeXML ($file, $locale, $url, 1);
...
function includeXML ($file, $locale, $url, $level = 1) {
global $xml, $pos;
// stuff
while(($line = fgets($fp)) !== false) {
if($pos === false) {
$xml .= $line;
} else {
includeXML ('repository/' . $included, $locale, (int)$level
+ $pos - 1);
}
}
}
Solution (2)
$xml = '';
$pos = 0;// Presumably.
includeXML ($xml, $pos, $file, $locale, $url, 1);
...
function includeXML ($xml, $pos, $file, $locale, $url, $level = 1) {//
Note the on the first parameter
// stuff
while(($line = fgets($fp)) !== false) {
if($pos === false) {
$xml .= $line;
} else {
includeXML ($xml, $pos, 'repository/' . $included, $locale,
(int)$level
+ $pos - 1);
}
}
}
BTW it seems to me that you'll have the same problem with $included unless
there's other code in includeXML that you've omitted.

Since the call below is ADDING to $xml you do need something existing

[PHP] PDO Transaction
Hi, I have a trouble with PDO transactions. I would like to start using transactions, but I am not familiar with it. I have got a 'There is no active transaction' exception, however, I am using beginTransaction method, and also I have set PDO::ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT to false right after connecting to the database. In my whole code I have used the commit method only once. Between beginTransaction and commit methods, as far as I know, I did not use anything that could activate auto-commit. In my test code, there is only an exec method of PDO, and an execute of PDOStatement. Maybe one of these activated auto-commit? And what are the possible commands which are able to activate auto-commit? I know that the commit method can do that, but - as I already wrote - I have issued it only once, and it is in the destructor of a singleton class. So what could be the problem?

You could use is_numeric for that, though it also accepts floats.

When comparing a string and an int, PHP will translate the string to int
too, and of course they will always be equal then.
So:
$a = abc;
if($a == (int)$a) echo YES;
else echo NO;
Will always return YES.

That is so about is_numeric(), but once I know it's a numeric, coercing it

You could use is_numeric for that, though it also accepts
floats.
- Matijn
for that type of test I have always used this:
if ( $val == (int)$val ) {

When comparing a string and an int, PHP will translate the string
to int
too, and of course they will always be equal then.
So:
$a = abc;
if($a == (int)$a) echo YES;
else echo NO;
Will always return YES.
- Matijn
H... Interesting. Looking back at my code base where I thought
I was
doing that, turns out the final results were not that, but this:
$value = asdf1234;
if ( $value === (string)intval($value) ) {
Looking back at the OP's request and after a little further
searching,
it seems that there might be a better possible solution for what
the OP
is requesting.
?php
$values = array(asdf1234, 123.123, 123);
foreach ( $values AS $value ) {
echo $value;
if ( ctype_digit($value) ) {
echo ' - is all digits';
} else {
echo ' - is NOT all digits';
}
echo 'br /'.PHP_EOL;
}
returns...
asdf1234 - is NOT all digits
123.123 - is NOT all digits
123 - is all digits

An important note:
This function expects a string to be useful, so for example
passing in
an integer may not return the expected result. However, also note
that
HTML forms will result in numeric strings and not integers. See

Integers can be negative too: I suspect your test would reject a
leading
'-'...
For my money, `is_numeric()` does just what I want.
The thing is, is_numeric() will not check if a string is a valid int,
but
any valid number, including a float.
For something like this, wouldn't a regex be better?
if(preg_match('/^\-?\d+$/', $string))
echo int

That is so about is_numeric(), but once I know it's a numeric, coercing

The op wasn't about casting a string to an int but detecting if a string was
just a string representation of an int. Hence using a regex to determine that.
Regular expressions are not just about giving feedback to the user.

Re: [PHP] variable type - conversion/checking
I suppose one could try something like this: if (is_string($val) $val === (string)(int)$val) If $val is an integer masquerading as a string, it should be identical to the original string when cast back to a string, shouldn't it? (I can't try it right now.) Andrew

Guess regex are the only useful solution here. When you consider to use

too, but '42.00' isn't.

If that's the case, if ($val == (int)$val) is more like saying if ((int)$val === (int)$val) What I suggested converts the string to an int, the resulting int back to a string, then does a type-specific comparison to the original string value.

Shoot...I hadn't considered how PHP might handle hex or octal strings when casting to int. (Again, not in front of a computer where I can test it right now. ) Regexes have problems with more than 9 digits for 32-bit ints. I guess to some degree it depends on how likely you are to experience values that large. Andrew

Your equation will always evaluate as true. Andrews' solution should work too, but it depends on what you accept as integer, in this case you would be able to parse normal numbers, with optionally a sign and extra 0's in front. is_numeric will parse those integers, but also hexadecimal, octal and binary notations, and parses floating point integers. If you don't want the floating points, you could add an extra check that verifies it is not a float. - Matijn
