To: David Giragosian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2006-10-10 12:49:11 -0500: Do you realize how many Vietnam war veterans you're offending with what I guess is supposed to be a joke? Surely not. How could I know how many of those who spilled blood in Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos cannot reflect on their deeds almost 40 years later? I know it's easy for the older parts of our behavioral equipment to take hold esp. in difficult situations, and 18-20 years old guys aren't exactly known as a group with the closest obedience of so-called moral norms (that's quite natural and I would have to damn myself if I weren't forgiving about it). But don't complain it was tough if you were there to murder other people. Sure, we (humans) are weaklings, and easily fall prey to whatever bullshit any drunkard and/or Hitler-wannabe says if they repeat it long enough, but if those Americans who fought in Vietnam didn't elect the government that sent them there then it was their parents, and grandparents. If you get agitated by a joke referring to the US movie and TV cliche they fed us with for 20 years or so, complain to those Americans who voted for the war. The "GM" children born today in Vietnam, mutilated by defoliants sprayed on their parents 35 years ago are shame of those who elected Nixon. You're in the Czech Republic, I'm guessing by your country code, so maybe I should have cut you some slack, but it isn't funny to those of us who went to war or lived through it. Yes, I'm a citizen of a country that takes part in the running US raid on Middle East. I'm living through a war myself, mind you. Although much closer to the shit than you I'm much calmer these days than when the US Army was raging full-auto all over Europe (the bombing of Bulgaria[!] during the deathmatch in Yugoslavia in the 92-4 or so). Back then it could also have been /my/ roof. If I wanted to have a combative signature I'd be using something like "How many American soldiers does it take to kick a tied-up POW to death in Guantanamo?" or perhaps "American cars run on blood of Iraqi people.", "Operation Enduring Oil" or a variant. But it's just a joke. I freely admit you're not the first to bitch about this signature. You're second. I'm surprised that you're only the second guy to whine! Given how much the situation in Iraq reminds the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by the "brother" armies of several communist countries led by the USSR, how devastated the soldiers were when they realized they weren't the saviors their /politruks/ made them believe... I'm quite surprised the morale is so high. So much for the topic of my signature. It will stay there of course, at least until your country, which BTW recently passed a bill that basically negates the Geneva conventions, attacks my country. Czech republic is lucky enough to have no large amounts of strategic minerals, but will probably be one of the last pieces of land when the US industry and DMCA-controlled SUV-driving consumers unbound by the Kyoto protocol produce enough smog to melt the Antarctida, and land becomes more important than oil. Until then... Boomers, as in Baby Boomers, were the generation of Americans who fought in Vietnam. The folks your closing lines refer to. Do you get it now? Yeah, Baby Boom is a term known to me. I'm was born in 1975, during a baby boom in Czechoslovakia, predecessor of Czech rep. I'm not used to the capitalization though, and wasn't sure if Boomer wasn't meant as the surname of a person relevant to the rest of your message. Thanks for the clarification.
Re: [PHP] mysqldump problem from PHP
Angelo, as Brad says, you can pass user and password args to mysqldump from
an include file.
I run a php backup script via cron every night, then tar and compress and
store in various dirs out of the web tree.
I have the script if you'd like. It came from someone on the php-db list
years ago, and I'm not in any way claiming credit for it.

It appears that it could be because the user that runs the scripts is
not allowed to. When I run them on the commandline, I run them as the
root user. Is this a common problem? What would the best way be to
sort
this out keeping in mind security on the server?

#1. You can run mysqldump with the same flags a the mysql command
line... i.e. -u= --password=
#2. Crons run as the user that owns the crontab, not always root.
#3. Edward is right, PHP is a wonderful tool, not sure the tool was
meant to do the types of things you are trying to do...unless you could
fill us in with more details of what the purpose is, then we might be
able to give more insight into how.

Can't say why you're not getting an error message, but when I have a valid

In any database that you store timestamps and need to know exactly what that timestamp means you should use UTC, then use application logic to translate to the users time zone. Another option would be to store epoch time (seconds since the OS's epoch) and work the same result from that, I prefer storing human-readable timestamps even if you have to do the datemath in your head to read them in your own timezone.

It just doesn't, at all. If it returns a timestamp in UTC offset, it will "avoid" DST for you... - tul We use now() to do timestamp inserts in the MySQL db. "now()" in MySQL is based upon the OS time, which is obviously affected by timezone setting as an offset from UTC. When I've set the RH server to use UTC, the OS time was still affected by the "rule" which altered UTC to the timezone setting (I'm in the process of moving my office or else I'd be able to find the document describing how to alter the RH OS to not obey DST changes). My question is based upon this experience. If "select utc_timestamp() in MySQL truly returns the UTC with timezone offset and without any adjustments for DST, that would be just peachy. Thanks, David

Why don't you start by running file_exists() on another file in the same

then, directory by directory, move towards where you want the real file to
be read. If a move fails, check permissions as already suggested ( and

Re: [PHP] $_SESSION variable gets lost on FORM action
On 1/16/07, Nuno Oliveira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi,
I'm working on a website and one of the features that I've implemented
so far is the user timeout.
Every time that a user browses to a different page, the variable named
$_SESSION['user']['lastactive'] is updated to the current time.
However, before that, my PHP scripts check if the session for this user
had timed out or not...
The script that checks that is named "session.php" and it is included in
every file. If it detects a timeout, it sets a variable
$_SESSION['form']['errors'] to a string ('Your session has expired...
Bla, bla, bla...') and then redirects to the login.php and the user will
see that he his being asked to login again for the reason displayed.
Everything works great except in one situation... If the timeout period
happens when the user is filling a form, the action that it executes
(process.php) will also include session.php and it sets the error string
but when it redirects to login.php the $_SESSION['form']['errors']
variable is empty...
You must be unsetting the individual $_SESSION['form']['errors'] variable
or the entire $_SESSION array somewhere in there.

At the risk of extending this already looong thread... Ah, screw it. I actually read all of the Radicore documentation on Monday following someone's suggestion last week about module access control. That was before this thread got started, BTW. Now I'm not a Framework guy at all, and I don't know nor have ever communicated with Tony, but I was very impressed with the level of sophistication and conceptual richness of the Radicore Framework, his insight and solutions for common issues such as users hitting the 'browser back button' and having multiple, open instances of a web page, differentiation in usage of GET and POST, and session management in particular. I'm happy to entertain and play along with threads that drift into meta-topic struggles, but honestly, let's not lose the forest for the trees. There's good stuff in Radicore, as I'm sure there are in some other frameworks. -- -David.

Maybe add the second parameter to the passthru call to catch the return status of the call to the perl script. If it fails because it is running as 'nobody', you should have some feedback in there.

I doubt this will have any sway on the contributors to this thread, but I ran across a db normalization "rule of thumb" yesterday in a tutorial for another language: "Normalize until it hurts; De-normalize until it works." I lean towards finding a middle ground, so this makes sense to me. --David. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Alice, that's a default IIS path to the web root, so I assume you _might_ be
using IIS. Maybe the IIS manager is locking you out somehow.

Once the individual words have had their letters shuffled, explode the
sentence on a space, then use the shuffle function (
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.shuffle.php) to, um, shuffle the
array.

Seems his father didn't think he was mature enough to be able to benefit from college, and he was advised to do some traveling instead. That apparently led to an early version of the current 15-minutes-of-fame video. When I read that, I thought, not everybody is buying into the college degree to 'success' route. But that I'm sure is the exception rather than the rule. I think the bigger problem, for education and the USA at least, is that there are few middle-class jobs to be prepared for, despite what you might learn in school. Learning for the sake of learning is wonderful, and yes, I think it does benefit society by broadening one's perspective, but as a path to financial success, defined here as being able to support yourself and raise a family, I agree that a college degree is a dicey undertaking for the expense. (And to be clear, I've completed 10 years of post high school education.) --David.

Whether that correlates to someone not caring about security is a different matter, I think. Of course, if the applicant said, "Security was somebody else's responsibility" in a flip and/or arrogant manner and clearly showed no concern about it, then sure, on to the next candidate.
