Re: [PHP] Off the wall - sub-domain question

[Dan McCullough]

So its indexing http://www.domain.com/subdomain/page.php and you would
rather it index http://subdomain.domain.com/page.php.  If that is the case
then what Willie said holds true

User-agent: *
Disallow: /subdomain

Place a robots.txt in the domain.com public root directory.

To Googles indexer http://subdomain.domain.com/page.php and
http://www.domain.com/subdomain/page.php are totally different and
therefore blocking /subdomain will not affect subdomain.domain.com.

Sign up for Google Webmaster and add two sites subdomain.domain and
www.domain  that way you can delete improperly indexed pages.
Do some test scans and see if there are links on your www.domain that are
linked to www.domain.com/subdomain rather then subdomain.domain.com

Re: [PHP] Upload using FTP commands

Take a look here:

You might have some issues with the memory limit in PHP so that might have

Good way to start is start small and build a strong base around a good
database, good performance practices and tight security you can then build
the cool features as you see fit.

Good thing about performance and security is that there are a ton of site
that outline best practices which means you wont have to re-invent the
wheel.

Re: [PHP] Change styling depending on var value

[Dan McCullough]

To add to what Ashley said about $row[3],  remember that when you are
returning from the db the counter for fields will start at 0 not 1, so if
its the 3rd field that will be $row[2].  You might also want to do switch
rather then elseif but thats always a good debate.

Brynjar:

You say a "little php script" -- if you have no
knowledge of how to do this, then what makes you
think it's little? Stop and think dude -- you're
asking for code that will keep track of users,
passwords, deal with what happens if they lose
their password, keeping passwords secure, keeping
track of times on/off, and writing an admin to
review/edit times and edit users (add, delete,
ban) --this is not a little script.

Lastly, I think we all know that "non-profit"
simply means that at the end of the year you get
to roll your profits over to the next year
without incurring taxes on the excess. Nothing
more.

Plus, there's no limit or requirements as to the
amount/percentage you pay yourself as compared to
what amounts you apply to your "cause". So,
mentioning "non-profit" to me is like saying
you're just another scam -- and one, who's
trolling for free php services.

Re: [PHP] Remote Robot Control with PHP

[Dan McCullough]

Cool!

On 10/31/06, Prathaban Mookiah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hello List,

I thought of sharing my experience of writing a controller to remotely
control a robot through a webserver using PHP. Though I could not use PHP
alone to do the entire job due the high delay it takes to connect to the
telnet port on the robot, (I adopted the PHPTelnet class written by Antone
Roundy - http://www.geckotribe.com/php-telnet/), I could not resist using it
for some part of the application.

So the model I used for my purpose is this:

Browser -> WebServer  -> Java  > Robot
  AJAX  PHP

I used PHP to communicate between the Java program which I run in the
background and the AJAX calls from the browser. This setup works fine for my
purposes and satisifies the strict time constraints.

If someone has a better idea of implementing this thing in PHP, please do let
me know your comments.

There is a lot more to do in this project and I hope to make use of PHP a lot
along the way. This is a NSF funded project and this work will be published
in some leading journals. What I am excited about is the prospect of putting
in a word about PHP in these journals, since as far as I know, it is not too
well known in the academic circles.

Regards,

Prathap

Another thing to remember is that you dont want to get overwhelmed

Yeah, i guess thats also an idea, will look into it.

Will also need to look into the logic of calculating
shipping, something that I have never done in the

Kind of worked out the logic of "customers who bought

Re: [PHP] Shopping cart

[Dan McCullough]

There are many payment processing script/classes/examples available
that you could use.  Just google around for your gateway provider,
like PHP and Authorize.net, etc, or go to their site and look for a
developer, API or something like that to see if they have done some
examples.

I know it will be good for experience but like someone

because I missed assigning a value to a variable...

Still searching though, tested OSC,ZenCart,
Xcart,FishCart, now on to phpshop...

Drupal seems good, but kinda large with all the
modules out there... a bit intimidating, will keep
that as a "reserve check"

I think this is the reason why there are so many
"carts " out there people just get pissed seaching for
a simple one which they can use their _own_ page
design, and dont find it... then they write one for
themselves, see it works very well, decide to go

Re: [PHP] Re: Recommendations for PHP debuggers?

[Dan McCullough]

How is this different then what they try and sell you for $249.  I
have eclipse for Java development, and was looking at Zends package
for PHP development, but if they are basically selling me the same
thing then I would go with eclipse.

Did you look at this? I posted it earlier and although I've not hooked
up the debugger, AFAIK it's free (but provided by Zend), so it should
suit you nicely (except that you'll still need that extra gig of ram to
run eclipse ;))

I realize that Zend Studio is separate from PHP, but I would hardly go
so far as to say it has "nothing to do with PHP". Zend is the company
that *makes* PHP. Zend is a development environment for creating PHP.

So I don't think it's at all unreasonable to think that maybe there are
people here who use it (or even develop it) on this list.

And I do realize that Zend has its own forum, and I have posted there.
But the question has gone for days without response, so I'm broadening
my search.

What else should one do when one gets no response in a more specific forum?
> You paid Zend for the product, ask them how it works.

Well, what I have is the trial version, which they say they support, but
they have not responded to my email sent to them. So I don't know if I'm
far down the priority list for not having paid yet or if they just
usually take days to answer or what.

In any case, this list is called PHP "general". Am I really so
unreasonable in thinking that asking about how to set up a PHP
development environment so that I can debug my PHP scripts without it
conflicting with the PHP database administration system is on-topic?

Do your other pages link to the pages?

Because I don't need to PREDICT the URLs, just follow them from page
to page.

That's pretty much how a search engine works.

If you really want to stop a web-scraper, you pretty much have to
accept that you'll not be listed in Google (et al) as well.

Re: [PHP] Debugging Log

[Dan McCullough]

I wrote my own, very simple, very easy.  I think the code is in the
archive somewhere.  Otheres have written similar functions.

CODE +++

function logError ($logentry, $lgname) {
// simple function to log errors to text/log file.
$logfile = @fopen ($lgname, "a+");
 if (!$logfile) {
 echo ("\n\n ERROR: Failed to open $lgname\n\n");
 } else {
 fwrite ($logfile, "[".date ("D M d Y h:i:s")."] [$logentry]\n");
 fclose ($logfile);
 }
}

where you want to log

logError($username.' has successfully logged in.','account.log');

CODE +++

Lately I have been using the syslog from php.

[PHP] url obfuscation

[Dan McCullough]

Looking for a good way to obfuscation the name value pairs in a URL,
so it might be something like
http://www.domain.com/page=fjdsaflkjdsafkfjdsakfjdsalkfjsda983dsf or
something like that, I was looking at base64_encode, but was wondering
what others might do or use.  It doesnt have to be super secure, but I
would still like the information to not be really visable.

Re: [PHP] Re: creating a threaded message system--sorting messages

[Dan McCullough]

I've come into this discussion pretty late so please bear with me if I
go over something that has been ruled out.

You are trying to print out in a threaded method the first post in a
thread followed by each post after that, that is a child/reply to that
post.  Is that correct?

So something like

Example 1

Thread1
 Post1
   Post2
 Post3
   Post4
 .

or

Example 2

Thread1
 Post1
   Post2 - reply to post 1
Post3 - reply to post 2
   Post4 - reply to post 1
   Post5 - reply to post 1
Post6 - reply to post 2
 Post7 - reply to post 3


Example 1 is very common and is the easiest to implement.  From what I
remember you would need a couple of DB tables for post, post_thread,
post_post, thread

So for your question thread isnt very relative but I thought I would
throw it in.

thread {
threadid int(11) auto_increment,
threadname
threadsort
...

thread_post {
threadid int(11)
postid int(11)


post {
postid int(11) auto_increment,
postname
posttext
...

post_post
postid int(11),
postid2 int(11)


Please note I have two kids fighting over the cat, trying to cook
dinner and stave off a flood of water from the rising river so the SQL
structure is for example.

You can get everything in one query from the DB and lay it out based
on the id of the post, if you DB is properly indexed and setup and
queries are optimized you'll hardly notice a blip when the load gets
up.  You do not want to be doing multiple queries on a page when one
well written query will do the trick.

Either way if this is more what you are looking for we can get into
specifics later.

Hello,

As Adam pointed out, this can be deadly to your database, especially as the
number of posts grows. If you want to go that route, I would recommend
selecting all the posts in that particular thread and sorting the data out

queries to display a discussion. Multiply that by several page views at
once...

If you don't mind the extra work and investigation, I would recommend
downloading some PHP forum software that supports threaded discussion and
see how they implement it. I found several listed in DMOZ:

Re: [PHP] Re: Update site through email

There are several blog software packages and cms packages that do
something like this you might want to download and take a peek.

Wordpress one that comes to mind.

On 6/29/06, Mathieu Dumoulin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

How i'd do it is not simple, i'm sure there is an easier method but here
goes for mine.

First you have to setup an inbox that you can read, it can be POP3 or
IMAP, as long as your PHP script can read it it's fine.

Second, create a script that can actually connect to that inbox and read
for a new message periodically. You can use a CRONJOB or a Scheduled
Task if it's available, else, you'll have to check the mailbox from time
to time when your page launches from a web browser (Try not to do it all
the time or your page will suffer from this process if it is launched
all the time).

That script will have to read the emails in the inbox, finds the
appropriate email and stores the content the way you want, database or
file, your choice.

Then, your web page will have to read from that stored source of your
choice and "echo" the content at it's right place.

As you can see, it CAN be done, it's just a strange way of doing it.

Furthermore i see problems to that. You can probably get very easily
hacked using this method. Its easy to read the incoming data in the
server, find the email address used to update the content and then send
a mail yourself. There is nothing you can do to stop that except encrypt
your email using SSL... But thats a bit hardcore and there are much
simpler ways than using SSL encrypted email to update a page ;)

[PHP] parsing/replacing for special MS Word characters

I have a friend who I wrote some very simple publishing software,
basically he takes his writtings and puts them online.  Well his
writtings are in Word and so he has alot of special characters that he
inputs, some unknowingly, into the database.  Are there any classes or
samples of what others have done to strip/replace/find these special
characters, I have asked him to be careful, but he will do it once or
twice and then forget and lapse, and I get a call saying can you help
me get these out.

Any ideas?

Re: [PHP] php security

[Dan McCullough]

php.ini-anal-retentive-paranoid.

I'm editing mine for that right now, everything is off, the sever has
a keyboard, mouse, monitor no cd/dvd, no floppy, no usb and is
unplugged from the network, there are 6 security guards that surround
you and they give you 5 minutes on a timer.

Re: [PHP] php security

[Dan McCullough]

I would look here for an idea.  http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/
I think you'll find many opinions on the matter.  One thing to
remember is that once the app goes live your job doesnt stop there
you'll need to be just as stringent about security and checking logs
and errors as you were when you were developing.

Re: [PHP] help with some logic.

hey Dallas,

have you thought about breaking this up and making two seperate
functions one the checks the cookie and one that checks the session
information?  I'm not sure if that is what you were looking for as far
as an answer but it might be a good start.

Re: [PHP] testing on a local server

[Dan McCullough]

Well Jay was showing you where you could pick up everything you
needed.  On Windows XP the IIS server is not installed by default you
have to select it as a component to install, so I'm not sure if you
would have IIS installed either.  If you want a simple and quick
solution go to the link that Jay sent and download that installer
you'll get Apache/PHP/MySQL and some other tools for development.

Good luck

You can check on every page load, but I'm sure thats over kill for

Re: [PHP] Cookies

Tried and true is to set a cookie and then attempt to read it, if you
cant read it then cookies are not on.

Re: [PHP] Error Messages, Windows, and Tequila

[Dan McCullough]

Also check to make sure that its the right php.ini file, I have had a
problem in the past when the installer has put the php.ini file in the
WINDOWS directory and there is an existing one in the PHP directory as
well.  I would check phpinfo and see where the php.ini file is
located.

You might have to change the configure option from

Re: [PHP] Unable to send variables to MySQL table

[Dan McCullough]

print $add_to_db;

should print out the entire insert line and you can just double check
that your values are full, otherwise like Jay said I would check and
make sure the user you have in your connect string can write to the
db.

[PHP] getting rid of bad characters

[Dan McCullough]

I having been looking for some snippet to help me with changing MS
Word double, quotes, single quotes and other characters to acceptable
HTML safe characters.  The problem comes about when the people using
the forms paste large articles from Word into the form, I do a normal
check and add slashes but lately they have been getting lazy and using
the special characters from Word.

Its been awhile since I tried this so I was wondering if anyone had
any luck with this.

I need to get a list of tables from a database, which means I have to

change my selection in a select menu, that would send the value for
the select menu to a php function.
can that be done?

None of my code breaks from 4 to 5, I also run a small hosting company
and I upgrade when I see improvements to the software that would
warrent an upgrade.  MySQL 4.1.12, Apache 2, PHP5.  I also think its a
cop out by those who dont have alot of time to upgrade their 30+
servers.  Another stall or cop-out would be were currently testing
php5 and will have an evaluation in a few weeks *cough* months.

Re: [PHP] Help with logic :(

[Dan McCullough]

Yes I believe that is what Richard was saying about "Trap the INSERT
error", you should get an error back from the database about having a
problem with the insert instead of showing that error you will want to
add some logic that when that error occurs you simply generate another
number.

create a function to check if the rndnumber=couponcode row count = 0
if not then redo rndnumber if it does = 0 then insert rndnumber

[PHP] multi dimension array

[Dan McCullough]

I believe that would be the correct term for what I need.

Here is what I have been trying to do.

I have orders and customers.  Customers are required to do a few things before we can 
process the
order.  Some times they are very slow in doing so.  So I wanted to write a little 
reminder script
to poke us to email/call them.

So I have orders and customers.  I need to go through and list out the orders and then 
I need to
use the customer to grab all the order associated with them, then list out their 
contact
information.  Anythough on how I can group orders by customer, list the customer 
information (from
another table) and then go on to the next order and so the same thing all over again?

Should be fine if I understand your question correctly. You can use !=
or <>; same result.

[PHP] get all except 1

[Dan McCullough]

Haven't done this in a while, but here is my question.
I have 4 stories, and you land on the story page where one story is shown
and on the side there is a listing of the other 3 stories that are active in
that edition.
So what I would like to do in one query is get the three that are not shown
on that page.

So can I do something like

$story_sql="SELECT * FROM story WHERE approved = 1 AND editionId = $eid
EXCEPT nid = $nid";

$nid is the id of the story whos detail page we are on

Am I thinking correctly?

RE: [PHP] Re: Looking For Easy To Use Shopping Cart

[Dan McCullough]

http://tutorialized.com/tutorials/PHP/E-Commerce/tutorial/Roll-Out-Your-Cart
/619

very very simple.  The problem with most e-commerce carts out there is that
they come with more then just the cart piece, they have all the product and
ancillary pages and you have to weed through their design.  That's why I
suggest a tutorial as they usually only have the cart piece.

I want my customer to be able to select a few options via radio buttons (12

the price.  Then, I want the customer to click a "checkout" link that takes
them directly to a form to input billing address and credit card
information.

Any recommendations/guidance?

I'm calling around and speaking to payment gateways and merchant account
providers but wanted to tap into the open source community to see what's out
there that can fit my needs.

I really don't think this is that complex of a task, or maybe it is?

Thanks,

Well...

Do you mean that you've created a storefront already and need a cart, or
do you need the whole thing? There really isn't any only cart software,
they all include a storefront.

 From what I've seen, Zen Cart is pretty well featured and is open
source and free.

That's very simple.  If you don't mind writing a bit of specific code you
could do it in about an hour, there are many snippets of code for payment
processors that you could use.  Try Hotscripts.com.

There are several tutorials that are just the cart, probably some minimal
code typing and fixing for your needs.
MyMarket found on SourceForge is one.  There was one on Monkey Junkies.

FreeTrade is good.

Looking for suggestions/thoughts/comments about mail list/outbound

send outbound email campaigns (opt-in/opt-out) not spam.  There have been
several issues right off the hop.  Can anyone think of components that can
be used with php scripts to handle outbound email like those of responsys
