[PHP] Re: [HEADSUP] rsync going temporarily down
2009/7/16 José Miguel Santibáñez A. j...@caos.cl: Hi, here (http://cl.php.net) we lost all documentation... I'll try a re-sync manually, but nothing happenes... Just a heads-up for those of you reading the newsgroup in real-time and emailing me directly or contacting off the PHP General list, do not worry: the PHP website is not going down. To answer a few of the other questions that were actually asked: * We appreciate the offer, but we do not need a sponsor to buy the php.net domain back. It is still in our control at this time. * Our hosting bills are not overdue. * Do not worry, your government has not [yet] cut off access to the php.net website, but if you still want to download a copy of the manual, you are welcome to do so. * You have not been blacklisted for too many searches. As you can see, things are returning to normal after a minor and temporary glitch. Thank you for your concern, and a special thanks to those who offered assistance when they were concerned that there may be larger issues. -- /Daniel P.

[PHP] Establishing PHP Session From a Different Host
Hello, How does one continue a php session on a different domain (domain B) than the domain (domain A) that started the session? That is, I want to hand-off a session to another domain, but I do not see how to do this as one cannot set a cookie for another domain (for valid reasons). I was thinking I could pass a one-time-access token in the url of domain B, but i'm dissatisfied with this solution as it gets unwieldy if there are a high volume of requests (such as a document server). Otherwise, I would think the user would have to re-identify (enter username/password) themselves on domain B. I am wondering if someone can enlighten me on how to have seemless session integration across multiple domains. I realize that if the domain has a different php engine, then i'd have to manage the session data outside of php's internal session data store (ie...with something like MySQL). Also, the domains are not subdomains of each other. 1) An example where one might want to do this is to establish a document/asset server on domain B to deliver content of different access levels to domain A's page (and also possibly domain C, D, E, etc...). Maybe I could do some server to server work passing the contents of a readfile(), where domain B always trusts requests from domain A. 2) But what about in situations where I literally want to migrate the user's session from one domain and hand it off to another domain, where both domains have access to the same data tables. How does one do this? Maybe I need to do some reading on load balancing to help me understand how state is maintained across several servers, but i was hoping this community might be able to guide/point me in the proper direction.

Simple answer: you don't. Extended answer: you can, but only if the domains reside on the same physical host, or in a setup where one domain can read the physical files of another across hosts. When you store information in a $_SESSION array, it stores one key (the PHPSESSID value) in a cookie on the client side, and then stores what is supposed to be a more-secure version of the cookie - containing all of the stored data - as a flat file on the server side (usually in /tmp or ~/tmp). As such, you shouldn't be able to read them from a different domain unless your host is insecure, in which you won't have to worry only about this, but also full cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities. Other options would be parking or doing an addon domain, or something of the like. However, this all gets more into operating system and network security, and HTTP server configurations. Combined answer: you can, but you should really re-evaluate your code and current capabilities before trying to do so. You may even want to consider setting up a trust relationship with a centralized database such as MySQL to allow the second domain to READ ONLY from the first. Check in the database on the first domain to see if a user is logged in, if they were active within the last x (seconds|minutes|hours), and from what IP they were logged in. If things seem to match up, write the $_SESSION variables for login without prompting the user to re-authenticate manually. -- /Daniel P.

My bank's website. I sign-in and authenticate with bank.com. Then, i click credit card from bank.com and i'm redirected to creditcard.com without me having to reinput user/pass. They clearly do it (granted they have a lot more resources then I do, but i'd still like to know how they are doing it). Re: extended answer Not that i'd be able to do this, but what type of software is required to set up two remote physical hosts that can share files? Can this be accomplished through apache or perhaps plugging in some network app into apache? I don't fully understand how 'parking/addon' domains would accomplish the goal. Would you explain this option a bit more thoroughly please? Re: combined answer The trust relationship idea is what i have to work with. However, i am not using IP addresses for authentication as I was told this could alienate legitimate users and that IPs may be easily masked. Thus, i was thinking about using a one-time-access token passed in the url (essentially the same idea as the password verification links sent to email in-boxes). Once the user enters domain B with the one time access token, compare this token with last activity time via MySQL. Then if all looks okay to set a cookie with the same sesion ID as was established on domain A. As request time on domain A and subsequent request time on domain B are very close together I could require that the IPs stay consistent during that short-lived time frame. Does the above all seem reasonable (though headache prone)? I'm curious to hear your two cents. I am also curious to know how the big boys do this type of thing. Do you have any links, software applications names, or other types of keywords i could use to research about this type of thing?

As for the braces in the HEREDOC around {$somevar}, while it works
absolutely fine, it was a typo on my part: I intended to show all
manner of usage and processing of variables within the HEREDOC syntax.
However, in my own code, I generally include all variables between
{braces} when inside a HEREDOC block. Sheer preference for
readability in a large HEREDOC: because I don't normally use curly

recognize that I'm still in the block (if all other clues miraculously

It works fine because you're forcing PHP to cast 'hello' in your

Eddie! Stay off the couch!
Something this simple should be common knowledge :X but I still agree
with Daniel that you ought to use {} around variables in HEREDOC (or
double-quotes) as it makes your code much more readable.
It also works similar to the method in which double quotes
(translatable) work as opposed to single quotes (literal), though
instead of printing the literal $bar['hello'] it will give you a parse
error (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, if memory serves correctly for once,
but don't quote me on that).

[PHP] RFC/Survey for Our Newer Folks (Including Lurkers)
Ladies and Gentlemen: First of all, if you're new to the list, welcome. At the risk of bragging about our collective talents, you are now a member of a community that is home to what may be some of the best talent in web development you'll find on the Internet. I'm not speaking of myself, but of your peers on this list. I could mention names, but that's beyond the scope of this particular request. What I would like to know is how you found out about this list. For example, did you go out of your way to find a support channel for PHP? Did you come to the source website, find out about the mailing list, and decide to subscribe? Did you submit a note to the php.net website requesting assistance and have your note rejected, and follow the instructions in the email that myself or another PHP Group member sent? Were you referred here by a friend, website, or publication? I would like to hear from all of you, and if you don't want your email address or words to be publicly archived, you're more than welcome to reply to me personally. I'd like to speak particularly with folks who joined this list because of submitting a note to the site and having it rejected, but I want all opinions. So if you've been here for less than 90 days or so, how did you wind up here, and did you have any problems in joining or complaints about the subscription process? If you've never posted and wanted a chance to introduce yourself, here's your chance. Breaking the ice and getting that first email out of the way may be all that's between you and immortality as the next great contributor to the project. Just remember the little people when you reach fame and fortune. ;-P -- /Daniel P.

It will be slower to read a file than data from an SQL database by sheer design --- regardless of whether it's XML, CSV, plain text, etc. And MySQL is faster still because it's run as a server with it's own processing engine, completely independent of the PHP engine and spawned process. Other factors involved are disk seek time, memory capabilities, et cetera, but the SQL-vs-file point is the biggest. For PHP to locate something within the file, it must load the entire file into memory or read it byte-by-byte, line-by-line, from an exact offset (given explicitly). SQL databases such as MySQL work similarly, but don't catalog all data in quite the same linear fashion. Further, MySQL is capable of indexing, allowing it to return the data far faster. There's a time and a place for each, but it sounds as though what you're attempting to do would not be best-served by caching it in an XML sheet. Also, something to keep in mind (with no offense intended by any means): if you have two database servers (using replication) for load-balancing and they - combined - cannot handle 100 simultaneous connections and queries, you may want to re-evaluate your infrastructure and architecture. -- /Daniel P.

So not only are you dictating how I post, you are also dictating which newsreader I should use? How arrogant! Your arrogance toward the community and ignorance of fundamental, purposeful guidelines is proof of how sanctimonious you truly are. Besides, since you are still using PHP 4.4.9 on your server, it's obvious that you don't like - and/or are afraid of - change, so no one is trying to tell you what software to use.

First, a reminder to several (including some in this thread) that top-posting is against the law here.

So determining which is better and/or more secure is really a matter of the data held there and how it's handled. If storing things like usernames or you absolutely want to store personal data in an active session, do so in $_SESSION.

Re: [PHP] Lookup domain in directories VS database
2009/7/5 Martin Zvarík mzva...@gmail.com:
Imagine you are hosting 10.000 subdomains.
Consider it done.
[snip!]
Everytime visitor hits the page you do:
@include('t/test-subdomain.freehosting.com/conf.php')
if (!isset($CONF)) die('such a subdomain does not exist');
vs
Everytime visitor hits the page you connect search in a MySQL table having
10.000 rows with each domain name and a text field (export_var()) that has
some parameters you need.
Okay.
What's better?
This depends on so many external variables that it's really
impossible to give a good answer. However, while there would be less
overhead to read a small file, I would not give the user the option to
modify a local PHP file (your first solution), which they could do if
it was stored in their local directory. Conversely, moving it outside
of the user's directory and allowing them to read it from a central
location opens your sites up to some major XSS issues.
So a properly-indexed database would most likely be your best
solution, based upon the limited information we have here so far. All
in all, if you're running the server as a host with thousands of
sites, you are probably better able to better decide what's in the
best interest of yourself and your users considering the above.

Re: [PHP] best way to properly build an include path *regardless* from where I am calling the include?
On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 11:04, Govindagovinda.webdnat...@gmail.com wrote:
Kim, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had been over $_SERVER in
the docs.. but somehow missed that basic obvious param. Thanks!
And now I'll throw a monkey wrench into the gears and tell you
that, yes, it works, but don't always rely on it. The path translated
to/from the web server may not be the real path. And while you could
do your translation with realpath(), instead you should look into:
?php include(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/include/file.php'); ?
The example above uses the always-on reserved constant __FILE__
for the file in which it's written, regardless of how it's accessed
(as an include, etc.). So consider the following:
/home/user/public_html/index.php
/home/user/public_html/web/home.php
/home/user/public_html/templates/body.tpl.php
/home/user/public_html/include/file.php
In the example above, imagine that you access 'index.php', which
includes 'home.php', which - in turn - includes 'body.tpl.php' and
'file.php'. Using $_SERVER data will use the information given to it
by the webserver at the point of the call: in this case, from
/home/user/public_html/index.php. As such, the include path will be
relative to that. So if you're including a file in ./web/home.php,
you will need to hard-code the adjustment to account for the
difference.
Conversely, using the code example from above (and building upon
it), we know that __FILE__ remains static regardless of the point of
the call. Thus, it's a better and more reliable method, and is usable
even if $_SERVER data is not available to the script.
With this in mind, it should be quite simple to understand how the
following should work:
?php
// My Name: /home/user/public_html/web/home.php
$file_to_include = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).'/include/file.php';
if(file_exists($file_to_include) is_readable($file_to_include)) {
include($file_to_include);
} else {
// Do your error handling here.
}
?
but to each his/her own! ;-P

I want something that will work for calling an include from any file that

That's where you have to define a variable (or constant) that
tells the system where the web root is located, and then use that to
determine where you are in relation to that. For example:
?php
function relate_path($me,$root = '/home/pilotpig/public_html') {
if(preg_match('/\/.*\.[a-z0-9]{2,5}$/Ui',$me)) { // If a file with
extension 2-5 alphanum chars
$me = dirname($me); // Strip the filename
// Then loop through the correct number of times.
for($i=0;$i(substr_count($me,'/') - substr_count($root,'/'));$i++) {
$me = dirname($me);
}
return $me; // Returns the resulting path.
}
return false; // If we were unable to get the path.
}
/*
Then use it as follows, presuming this file is
named /home/user/public_html/web/home.php
*/
if(($path = relate_path(__FILE__)) !== false) {
include($path.'/include/config.php');
} else {
// Handle the error for the incorrect inclusion attempt.
}
?
Voila!
Also, what is the difference between a path that starts with /, versus the
same path but that does not have that leading /, or that same path but
prefixed with ./?
I.e., this:
/somepath/includes/file.php
is a true (absolute) path.
versus this:
somepath/includes/file.php
is a relative path from wherever the file is called.
versus this:
./somepath/includes/file.php
is a relative path from the CWD/PWD (Current Working
Directory/Present Working Directory).
P.S. - The function is untested, just rattled off from my brain
while I cook dinner, so if it doesn't work, at least you should get
the gist of where I'm going but try it anyway. ;-P

[PHP] mysql_query blocking
Hello, When a MySQL table is locked a php call of mysql_query() that requires that table will hang as the request blocks at the MySQL server until the table is unlocked.

The my.ini directive table_lock_wait_timeout does not work either b/c from MySQL: This variable currently is unused. (I am using mysql v5.1) I do not want to bluntly stop this from the apache level.

Tried to run the script (http://localhost/dbscript.php) and I get a 500 Internal Server error. I have been up and down the web for two days looking for a solution and I am completely frustrated. I HAVE to be missing something. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help. Thanks. HTTP code 500 is, as the error message suggests, a *server* error. Meaning, it has nothing to do with MySQL, and likely is not related to PHP, but instead is a problem with the Apache configuration and/or permissions of the file. Check to make sure the dbinfo.php file is owned by the appropriate user and has permissions set to allow it to be read and executed. Though not as prevalent as on *nix systems, permissions errors can and do occur on Windows systems. If nothing seems out of place there, the next step is to check the log files. See if there's anything in Apache's error log related to this message (there should be, and being a local server, it should be one of the only things). Finally, if you can't find anything there, the next phase begins by asking your question in the right place. Now that you know it's not a PHP error that's causing it, and since we can also rule-out MySQL, we know it's an Apache issue. Best bet in this case is to go right to the source and ask on the httpd User Support list[1]. It could be any number of things, from what I mentioned above about permissions, to improper encoding, to a module not loading correctly, to gremlin droppings in your upper memory (hey, it's Windows). In any case, searching the web for two days was indeed the best place to start, so showing that intelligence gives you a leg up on many of the folks on the Internet today --- so there's no doubt in my mind that you'll have the issue resolved frustrating though it may be right now. If worse comes to worst, and you just want to move on with developing, there are several simple options for deploying a WAMP system. I would personally recommend XAMPP[1], but there are many other choices available as well.

So if anyone is in central Florida and looking for a job point your shiny rectangle here: HTTP://www.jasonpruim.com/jobsearch Don't forget the invaluable resource that is CraigsList. For you, specifically: http://orlando.craigslist.org/ There's also Dice (http://www.dice.com/), but that's more for specifically tech-oriented jobs, and most require a degree in the field. Keep your eyes open for technical support positions with telecommunications carriers --- particularly local or regional phone companies and ISP's. It's a relatively-stable job market, and there are call centers all over the country, some with VOIP setups allowing one to work from his/her own home. As for the 911 dispatcher's job, I never did hear from the Sheriff's office or the County Com-Center about you, so it's an adequate amount of time just to check in and see if [they] have any other questions, without being too pushy but don't call 911 to do it! ;-P -- /Daniel P.

Let me know the area code from which they'll be calling so that, if they do, I'll make it a priority to answer it rather than letting it go to voicemail. You mean calling 911 isn't a good way to get in touch with them? :P About a dozen years ago, I was considering getting certified as an emergency services dispatcher, and I remember one of the operators (with whom I worked on a volunteer first-aid/rescue squad) telling me a story about how often the centers really do get calls from folks on 911 asking for job applications. Other requests included directions, parents drilling their kids (and not informing the operator of this, but having the police/fire/ambulance crews actually come to the house), and demands to be driven by emergency vehicles to shopping centers or other locations (because I pay taxes, that's why!). Lesson learned: no matter how bad your job sucks on any given day, not only do I thankfully *have work,* but some poor schmuck is dealing with worse than I at that very moment! ;-P -- /Daniel P.
