[PHP] File moving hell on Windows
I'm dealing with a Windows NT network that includes some digital printing presses that also run Windows. PHP 5.3.8 is running on one NT machine. Its job is to take CSV files that exist in a directory on one machine, and move them to a directory on the digital presses. All the source and destination folders require different network credentials to read and write -- and because of red tape bureaucracy, that cannot be changed. Any suggestions how I could do this? I can't find any file-move examples that include the use of network credentials with each read and write.

[PHP] Bust out a PDF via the print stylesheet?
Hey all - The articles on my web site already have a very nice stylesheet that produces a print version. Does anyone know if there's a such a thing as a PHP class that would let me put up a "Download PDF" link that would generate a PDF doc on the fly, using that same stylesheet? I've used various PHP PDF classes before, but I'd rather see if I can shortcut this rather than assembling the doc from scratch. - Brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Replaced:

With:

while(!feof($fd)) {
set_time_limit(30);
echo fread($fd, 4096);
flush();

[PHP] Time zones are spinning my brain
Help. I'm using PayPal's API to get a report of all the yesterday's
transactions. I'm in California, and I define "yesterday" as California's
yesterday, midnight to midnight.
PayPal wants the STARTDATE and ENDDATE provided in UTC/GMT. I'm building and
testing my report using this:
$start = gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.00\Z', strtotime("yesterday 00:00:00"));
$end = gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.00\Z', strtotime("yesterday 23:59:59"));
which produces:
2011-06-28T07:00:00.00Z
2011-06-29T06:59:59.00Z
I think this is right, since it's 7 hours off California time, but I just need
someone to double check my spinning head. Will this give me the PayPal
transactions that arrived during California's yesterday, or do I need to change
something?

[PHP] Best way to create an image with flowing text?
Hey all - I need to create PNG images with transparent backgrounds that contain text. The text will come from four fields in a database, and needs to be centered, and text wrapped.

Re: [PHP] Help! Made a boo-boo encrypting credit cards
My merchant provider levies monthly fines based on how many of their security restrictions you fail to follow. I follow as many as are reasonably practical, but I think it's virtually impossible to follow them all, such as absurdly expensive (and probably unnecessary) hardware. IMHO, some of the restrictions are based less on reality and more on their security consulting firm's ability to frighten them. Their consulting firm's disclosed commissions on the fines creates an inherent conflict of interest. Goofily, my provider's fine structure does not differentiate between transactions that are merely processed on my server with no storage, and transactions originating from a card number stored on my server. So I have to constantly weigh the monthly fines vs. the cost of the upgrades vs. the amount of money that my various services bring in. There is no perfect solution. Nevertheless, I'm very open to any suggestions people have for transactions requiring that I keep the card number (in this case, recurring monthly charges where the customers choose not to use PayPal etc. and where too many customers would flake or get frustrated if forced to re-enter their card info every month for an annoyingly small transaction).

[PHP] SimpleXML/array duality (like particles & waves)
I am kind of jacked here. I have a SimpleXML object that's been converted to an
array. In one of the nodes, for no reason I can see, the array is populated
differently if there is only one than if there are multiple
s.
If there is just one, my $order_item array looks like this:
Array
(
[order_item_product_code] => 1300
[order_item_description] => 4x8 photo cards (set of 20)
)
But if there are multiple items, I get this:
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[order_item_product_code] => 1060
[order_item_description] => 4x5.3 trueDigital print(s)
)
[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[order_item_product_code] => 1300
[order_item_description] => 4x8 photo cards (set of 20)
)
)
See my problem? I can't foreach through those and process the items in the same
way.
In case it matters, here is that snip of what the original XML looks like, it's
all good:
http://.com/"; version="1.0">
1060
4x5.3 trueDigital
print(s)
1300
4x8 photo cards (set of
20)
And here is the function I'm using to convert the XML to an array:
function xmlToArray($xml, $isChild = false) {
if($xml instanceof SimpleXMLElement) {
$xmlObject = $xml;
} elseif($isChild) {
return $xml;
} else {
try {
$xmlObject = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
} catch(Exception $e) {
$string = $e->getMessage();
throw new Exception('Invalid XML found in ' .
__FUNCTION__ . ' function on line '.__LINE__.'.');
}
}
$children = (array)$xmlObject->children();
if(is_array($children)) {
if(count($children) == 0) {
$children = '';
} else {
foreach($children as $element => $value) {
$children[$element] = xmlToArray($value, true);
}
}
}
return $children;
}

I've got it on two different servers, and we have three guys trying various methods of submitting forms to it, trying to eliminate all potential problems, like the possibility that the request might not actually have any POST vars. I think we've safely eliminated these possibilities. Can anyone see a reason why the above should not see POST vars? Is there some security setting I don't know about? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Battle of Spam
I'm currently geotargeting all the IPs in the log, and focusing on the hits from Russia (the majority of these apache@ spams seem to be Russian).

Re: [PHP] Battle of Spam
I think I must have misstated the problem. Thanks to everyone for the replies, but the question is not how to fix it, it's how to find the script being attacked. Many different admins manage many different sites on this server, and I can't even begin to guess how many mail forms are on there from different programmers. I'm currently downloading the logs as Peter suggested, and will take a look. I'm not much of a sysad and I just thought maybe someone might know a way to sniff outgoing email or something, I really don't know how to attack this. Fixing the scripts is a long term solution, obviously, but I need a short term fix other than killing email on the apache account.

[PHP] Battle of Spam
Hey - It looks like a PHP form on my server is insecure and is being used to send spam. This is Rackspace's best guess. The problem is there are SO MANY forms on all the web sites on this server that it would be a nightmare task to try and look at them all to be sure they're properly secured.

[PHP] Help, FPDI is changing the size of my PDFs
I'm using FPDI to add some stuff to some existing PDF documents. Works great,
except that it's slightly changing the size of the PDF document (the physical
page size, not the file size), which is unacceptable since this is for a
high-end print file. I've stripped out all the code to the bare bones to try
and debug this. Here is what I have:
$pdf = new fpdi();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->setSourceFile('D:\\DocShare\\'.$filename);
$tplidx = $pdf->importPage(1);
$pdf->useTemplate($tplidx);
$pdf->Output('newpdf.pdf', 'D');
When I have PHP output the raw original PDF file, it measures 8.34"x11.12". If
I process it with the above code, the output measures 8.27"x11.7" with a blank
white band added along the bottom. Any suggestions? I just need the new file to
be the same size as the original. Thanks!
Re: [PHP] PHP Encoder like IonCube

Hi Shiplu - I also have a product with similar requirements. I searched a LOT and was never able to find a free solution that I was satisfied with. Even a lot of the commercial solutions required some server-side runtime EXE or something be installed, and my customers are not tech savvy enough to get that going. I ultimately settled on PHP Lockit, which is $29. It's a Windows program that you run to create an obfuscated version of your script. I'm very satisfied with the obfuscation, and it does not require any external runtime files or anything. Works like a charm, and I recommend it. http://phplockit.com/ - Brian On May 9, 2010, at 1:36 PM, shiplu wrote: > Is there any php encoder like IonCube ? > Looking for an opensource solution. > My main target is to deliver encoded php codes so that it can not be > re-engineered. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Simple code obfuscation
Hey all - I'm selling a custom PHP solution to FileMaker users. It uses FileMaker's PHP API, so everyone who has FileMaker Server is already set up to use it, but very few of them have any knowledge of how to set up a server or do anything PHP related. But I do want to add some level of code obfuscation to prevent them from making simple changes to my code that allow them to exceed the privileges they've purchased. I've looked at custom code encryption services like Ioncube and phpCipher, but in my estimation, deploying the needed server-side code for these is going to be beyond the capabilities of a large segment of my customers. I would rather have a few customers cheat me than offer a product that most customers are unable to figure out how to run. So I was thinking of doing something like base64_encoding the crucial chunk of my code (maybe 20 lines worth) and using eval(base64_decode($that_content)) to run it. I figure that will scare away most of the customers who might be able to edit my code.

[PHP] Emergency! Performance downloading big files
This is a holiday-crunch emergency.
I'm dealing with a client from whom we need to download many large PDF docs
24x7, several thousand per hour, all between a few hundred K and about 50 MB.
Their security process requires the files to be downloaded via https using a
big long URL with lots of credential parameters.
Here's how I'm doing it. This is on Windows, a quad Xeon with 16GB RAM:
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('timeout' => 1200)));
$contents = file_get_contents($full_url, 0, $ctx);
$fp = fopen('D:\\DocShare\\'.$filename, "w");
$bytes_written = fwrite($fp, $contents);
fclose($fp);
It's WAY TOO SLOW. I can paste the URL into a browser and download even the
largest files quite quickly, but the PHP method bottlenecks and cannot keep up.
Is there a SUBSTANTIALLY faster way to download and save these files? Keep in
mind the client's requirements cannot be changed. Thanks for any suggestions.

[PHP] Server change affecting ability to send downloaded files???
Hey all --
A couple of weeks ago my online stores, on a machine I host at
Rackspace, stopped delivering files that people purchase. I've used
this for years, and it's always worked perfectly with all filetypes:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.
$file_row["filename"].'"');
$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
But then, all of a sudden, it only works with ZIP files. There were no
changes to the code or to the files, just one day all of a sudden any
time someone purchases a DMG, EXE, PDF, etc. they get zero bytes. I've
asked Rackspace if they upgraded something that might produce this
change but they say "check your code". The code had not been touched
in years (literally). I've tried a zillion combos of different headers
but I'm having no luck.
Has anyone ever heard of something (besides my code and my files) that
could cause this behavior? You'll be my best friend if you can help.
Thanks.

[PHP] Totally weird behavior trying to download a Mac DMG file
So I've added a product to my online store that's in .DMG format. Most
of the other files are ZIP or PDF. When someone completes a purchase,
it downloads the file to them, and this works great:
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.
$file_row["filename"].'"');
$size = filesize('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
readfile('../../store/files/'.$file_row['filename']);
So I have my DMG file. I've verified that it automounts and behaves
friendly. If you do a direct download, it mounts on the desktop
perfectly, and there's all the stuff inside.
However, when I complete a test purchase and download using the above
code, the DMG file downloads, but then it mounts; the contents are
copied into the Downloads folder; the image unmounts; and then
deletes. All the contents are delivered, but not in a desirable way.
You can see the status change in the Downloads window:
Mounting the image
Copying the image
Unmounting the image
Cleaning up

In that case you're not sending them what they're asking for. Are the

they be included in the xml? At the moment they're separate so when

just happens that one of those fields is XML.

Re: [PHP] Best way to post XML via curl?
Just realized I didn't happen to mention the problem. :-) The server is not seeing any of my posted fields. It's returning a properly-formatted XML response that says I did not submit the required fields. Unfortunately the server is a black box, but lots of other partners use it every day and supposedly there are no problems server side. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Best way to post XML via curl?
I'm going crazy, can't quite get this encoding to work. I've tried all
the various combinations, trying to send this block $xml (which is a
simple string variable) via post along with 3 other params:
$postArgs = http_build_query(array('method'=>'newPrintRequest',
'login'=>$login, 'password'=>$password, 'orderxml'=>$xml));
$ch = curl_init('http://test.server.com/rest_interface.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postArgs);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
Is this use of http_build_query the best way to send XML? Any other
curl options I should be setting? I tried urlencoding() the $xml, I
tried htmlspecialchars(), I tried nothing at all, I tried & and
& is there a "best practice" for how a big block of xml should be
posted?

[PHP] imagejpeg, imagecreatefromjpeg both choke
I'm trying a stripped down test just to try to get this work. I have a
valid jpeg on disk:
3.jpg<- 3316x2220, 3.6 MB
And am trying either of the following:
// This does nothing at all
imagejpeg('3.jpg');
// This displays "failed"
$im = imagecreatefromjpeg('3.jpg');
if(!$im) echo 'failed';
phpinfo() shows GD enabled, JPEG functions enabled, memory_limit at
256M, permissions on the file and the enclosing folder are 777. Any
suggestions what else I can try to debug this?

[PHP] How can a script tell if there's a MySQL problem?
I have one server that's pretty busy and runs into "Too many connections" from MySQL from time to time, and needs to have MySQL restarted to clear it up. I've tried everything I can think of to have PHP take note of this error but continue executing with other stuff, but no matter what I try the PHP script stops whenever it encounters this and just displays "Too many connections."

[PHP] Anyone else have trouble with Apple Mail threading this list?
I use Apple Mail, and subscribe to many lists but PHP-General is the only one I have this problem with. People tell me that my replies are not properly threaded to the original post. When I hit Reply or Reply All in Mail, it wants to reply directly to the poster, and only CC's the list. So I drag the CC address up to the To field and delete the poster's address.

[PHP] IM Convert PDF->JPG works in command line, not in PHP
Here's a weird thing. I have a new Redhat machine, with PHP 5.2.6 and IM 6.4.8. The following works beautifully on the command line: convert original.pdf new.jpg But from PHP, it only works beautifully if I specify complete pathnames for convert, the original file, and the new file (that's OK, no problem), but it only works converting JPG and GIF images. As soon as I try to convert a PDF image, it fails: $command_line = "/usr/local/imagemagick/bin/convert /var/www/html/ original.pdf /var/www/new.jpg"; system($command_line, $return_var); ?> $return_var = 1. I don't have ghostscript, but I figured I don't need it since the PDF->JPG conversions works on the command line.

Re: [PHP] Help debugging a file upload on IIS
The one thing I was doing was: move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload_file']['tmp_name'], $new_path); but nothing was happening, no new file appearing where it was supposed to, and no error returned, left me scratching my head.

PHP is properly putting its session files in there, so I know PHP has permission.

Re: [PHP] Can GD make a JPG thumbnail of a PDF?
I've spent most of the last week trying to get ImageMagick working on
my Windows PHP installation. I gather that since I'm going to be
converting PDFs to JPEGs, I need Ghostscript.
Well, I've got ImageMagick installed: http://printhq2.com/info.php
I ran a Ghostscript installer, but it didn't seem to do very much.
Some site advised me to test my installation like this:
";
system("convert -version");
echo "";
?>
But it just returns blank. Can anyone help me get ImageMagick working
on my server?

Re: [PHP] Slow file download
I'm open to something like that - we're in the middle of the holiday crunch and can't afford any downtime, so a significant change is out of the question. This is part of much larger and more involved scripting, so it would need to be a plug-n-play replacement and also be able to return information to the script calling it - bytes, success or failure. We're grabbing filenames and credentials out of MySQL, marking them "in progress", attempting the download, and then updating the MySQL record with the results.

[PHP] Slow file download
I'm using a PHP cron job to constantly download files from a remote
server. Client and server both have abundant unused bandwidth, and the
sysads have already eliminated switches, interface cards, etc. as the
source of the slowdown. I'm looking at the script to see why file
downloads are taking so long and going so much slower than if I were
to simply manually download them with a browser on the same machine.
The script says:
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('timeout' =>
1200))); // 20 minutes per file
$contents = file_get_contents($full_url, 0, $ctx);
$fp = fopen('D:\\DocShare\\'.$filename, "w");
$bytes_written = fwrite($fp, $contents);
fclose($fp);
Yes, it's on Windows. Any idea whether my PHP code might be
introducing a slowdown? The files range from 500K to 50MB. I often
launch multiple instances of the script but it doesn't seem to help
much.

[PHP] Launching multiple PHP threads via Scheduled Tasks
I've got a script that downloads files queued from a server, and it's launched by a Windows Scheduled Task that launches every minute. My understanding of the default behavior is that if the task is still running a minute later when it's time to launch again, a duplicate thread will not be launched. The remote server administrator wants me to launch multiple threads all day - in my mind the wrong choice, since multiple download threads slow everyone one, but that's what he wants.
