[PHP] Uploading Large Files - Strange Issue
Hello group, I have a very strange issue coming up when uploading large files ( about 30MB). The problem is it works fine on my computer (and two others that I've tested), but it doesn't work on my client's laptop. It comes up with error code - 0 (which is upload successful), but the actual file is not on the server. Here is my error checking code: if ($sizeOK $typeOK) { switch($_FILES['items']['error'][$number]) { case 0: if(!file_exists(UPLOAD_DIR.$file)) { $success = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['items']['tmp_name'][$number], UPLOAD_DIR.$file); } else { $success = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['items']['tmp_name'][$number], UPLOAD_DIR.$postDate.$file); $cp = true; } if ($success) { $result[] = $file uploaded successfully; } else { $result[] = Error uploading $file. Please try again.; } break; case 3: $result[] = Error uploading $file. Please try again.; default: $result[] = System error uploading $file. Contact Webmaster.; } } elseif ($_FILES['items']['error'][$number] == 4) { $result[] = 'You chose not to add this file.'; } else { $result[] = $file cannot be uploaded. Maximum size: $max.br / Acceptable file types: pdf and mp3.br /Error number: . $_FILES['items']['error'][$number].br /; } = So for some reason on his computer it doesn't go to the switch statement (case 0), but goes to the very last else statement. So he always get this message: bigfiles.mp3 cannot be uploaded. Maximum size: 51,000.00KB. Acceptable file types: pdf and mp3 Error number: 0 Yet, it always seems to work when I do it on my computer. Any insight into this issue would be very helpful. Thank you. Anna Vester -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Just to be accurate: if you look at the espn.com source you'll see that the only table on the page contains an advertisement in the masthead and doesn't contain the main layout. Because it's the exception and because it's an ad, my guess is that it's markup imposed on the designers from the outside.

Re: [PHP] web browser shows blank page when accessing *.php file
Dear All I just thought I'd drop you a line about how I fixed this in the end. I had an idea that because the ical I was loading had about 24months worth of data it was taking too long so I just created a new one and published that. It now works, however, it does stall sometimes in which case I have to open a new web browser window and retype the url (regardless of the web browser) Thanks Anna www.fmri.org/calendar On Sep 21, 2006, at 5:46 PM, Martin Marques wrote: On Thu, 21 Sep 2006 17:13:44 -0400, Anna Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: and the error_log file says [Tue Sep 19 15:53:57 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /websites/ical/functions/ ical_parser.php on line 494 What is there in line 494 of ical_parser.php? -- - Lic.

[PHP] Re: web browser shows blank page when accessing *.php file
Hi All This is all very weird and it may be that it isn't a php problem after all. Here is line 494 in ical_parser.php ereg (([^:]+):(.*), $line Additional information is a) the mac that publishes the ical is always up, no probs there although I should check if a system update has been done recently. b) The webserver that hosts the calendar is definitely up because all the other web pages work. c) The athentication definitely works since if I put in the wrong username and password it comes back with an error. d) the whole thing worked perfectly until a few days ago. I've managed to get it up again by restarting httpd but then it fails again shortly after. e) I've made no changes to the webserver. f) Is it possible that its trying to access too much data from the calendar i.e it is possible to go back 18 months and look at the schedule. I'm just about to archive the existing scanner.ics file and republish another one to see it that works. thanks Anna On Sep 22, 2006, at 8:06 AM, Kae Verens wrote: Anna Barnes wrote: [Tue Sep 19 15:53:57 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /websites/ical/functions/ ical_parser.php on line 494 Not quite sure where to go from here. ical_parser sounds like it is a function which sucks in information from other computers. if one of those computers is down, then your program will probably timeout while waiting for the information.

Re: [PHP] web browser shows blank page when accessing *.php file
Hi Curt and Martin, Thanks for getting back to me. I'll take a look at the exact line 474 tomorrow. The reason I didn't mention it specifically is that it's only suddenly stopped working and nothing in that code has changed. It doesn't work in any browser, netscape, IE, firefox etc on Solaris9 or WindowsXP The 'signature url' is actually the calendar function that doesn't work. I wanted to know if it works outside our LAN. What's weird is that it asks for the username and password, it authenticates but then won't load the page. kindest regards Anna Curt Zirzow wrote: On 9/21/06, Anna Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are publishing an ical calendar from a mac on a webserver running apache on solaris 8.

I have an array of over 380K keys and values that is being processed incrementally, however the longer it runs the more time is seems to be taking - an array of 100k items is taking 1 hour to process, and array of 400k items is taking 9 hours to process.

Re: [PHP] my bugaboo.
- Original Message - From: "Floyd Baker" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello and thanks to all for the help on the magic quotes, etc. It gives me a better handle on what I'm dealing with. Except for one more thing. When I bring back text from a field which contains a ', and try to apply it as the value of an input box, it still truncates in the box. When I simply print $text, it prints out correctly as *Don't do this* . When I make $text the default value of an input box, it shows as *Don*. If the slash is still in place, it reads *Don\'t* above the box and *Don\* in the box. My bugaboo continues.. :- Thanks again for any further advice. Floyd That's a problem with HTML. example: input type='text' name='textName' value='Don't do this' Sees the ' in Don't as the signal for the end of the value string. I haven't come up with an automatic way to deal with this, but what I have done is in these lines (where there might be an apostrophe) make sure I use double quotes: input type="text" name="textName" value="Don't do this" or print "input type=\"text\" name=\"textName\" value=\"Don't do this\""; Of course, then you may have the same trouble with double quotes. To avoid that you can do ereg_replace("\"", "''", $text) -- that is, replace a double quote with two single quotes? I think, I've never bothered. Hope this helps somehow.

However, you should get permission from the site, since this would count as a hit/page view on their site.

Re: [PHP]Spider script in PHP.
- Original Message - From: "Angerer, Chad" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am not sure if this is the correct wording. But I am wondering about a good tutorial about writing a PHP script that will spider a directory structure and extract the file names and insert them into a database. Also this spidering would be done on a directory and its child with mp3 files and I would like to extract the ID3 tag from it. Any pointers to a good starting point/reference point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Chad The manual. Use combinations of opendir(), readdir(), is_file(), etc. Anna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] mysql not reporting errors
- Original Message - From: "Christian Dechery" WHy PHP is not showing SQL syntax (or any) errors? I'm using Win98Me with Apache 1.3.12 and PHP 4.x. it works... if I run a correct query it runs normally, but if I go like: $query="selct nonexistingfield from nonexistingtable with all crazy syntax"; mysql_query($query); it doesn't tell me there's an error... in fact it doesn't show anything... why is that? Because it's a pain to have error messages popping up all the time? Here is what I do with every query I every write: $query="yada yada"; $result=mysql_query($query, $connection); if($result=="" || $result=="0") { //if it is a page for my use, I print the error // if it is a page for the general public, I email the //error to myself, and print "There was a problem //completing your request", or something like that. print "Error : ".mysql_error($connection)."br\n"; } else { while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { //do whatever you want to do with the data. } } I greatly prefer this to display "0 is not a mysql result index" for everyone to see, if/when something goes wrong.

Re: [PHP] tracking the current url
- Original Message - From: "McShen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] hi Can you tell me how to track the current url by using PHP? for example, Mike is visiting http://www.celebritieszones.com/showthumb/britney_spears/1/ and i wanna make a PHP script so it tells Mike that he is currently browing http://www.celebritieszones.com/showthumb/britney_spears/1/ I tried to use $url_array=explode("\",$REQUEST_URI); But it didn't work. It showed Array instead of the URL when i tried to display it. Of course, trying to print $url_array will print "Array". You just turned the $REQUEST_URI string into an array (that being what explode does). If you want Mike to know the name of the file he's on, print $PHP_SELF. The info the location bar (not counting the root domain name)? print $REQUEST_URI. The domain name? $HTTP_HOST http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/language.variables.predefined.html Anna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] Where to put the include()
- Original Message - From: "Remi Ricard" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I want to know why in the second file I don't get a=134 as expected. snip // file that don't work as expected // print a= ?PHP function f2() { include ('./fileToBeIncluded.php'); f1(); } echo "html"; f2(); echo "/html"; ? Hi, Functions are separate blocks of code from the rest of the file. If you declare a function or variable inside a function (as you do here, since you include the file which contains a function inside the function) it will not be available to the rest of the script. I think. :-) Anna -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
