Re: [PHP] PHP/MySQL based webmail?
Hi Chris, Horde is little bit heavier than Squirrelmail. You can buy a Zend acclerator to speed up the things. I think your community is not that big and Horde works fine in our organization where we have 1000 users and all are pretty active. Look and feel matters in the web mail so before you make any decision then consider this issue as well. Let me know if you need more information about Horde. Thanks, Hardik --- Chris Shenton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Matthew Sims [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Uh, well...Squirrelmail is simply a webpage. The number of simultaneous users is defined by the web server application, aka Apache. Perhaps we view it differently. Apache is a web server. SquirrelMail and Horde are applications, written in PHP. I'm curious about user experiences deploying both, especially in terms of resource consumption and scalability. IMAP doesn't HAVE to be on the same box. You can use SM to connect to an another server running your mail. Yes. But both Squirrel and Horde must speak IMAP to the mail server, whether on localhost or remote. IMAP's nontrivial and introduces more load on the web app server than -- say -- a POP-based mail GUI. Or static web pages. I'm also quite interested in fault-tolerance. I can deploy a couple of physical boxes running SquirrelMail behind load balancers. But Squirrel stores stuff like user address books and preferences on the web server's disk; this obviously won't work in a load balanced arrangement where a client connection is just as likely to go to the other box. I could put the files on a back-end NetApp NFS server like I do for my (balanced) SMTP/IMAP mail servers; this may introduce NFS file locking problems and corruption by simultaneous access to the same NFS-resident file. (My SMTP/IMAP servers use Maildir to avoid NFS problems). Does Horde have these same implementation issues? How does it store preferences and such? It seems a much more resource-intensive application than the relatively simpler SquirrelMail, but I haven't done any benchmarks to compare the two. Basically it boils down to this question of web app scalability and resource needs: can I support a community of (say) 2500 people, where maybe 100 are actively using webmail at any given instant on a box like a Sun Netra running Slowaris with 1GB RAM? Or some 2GHz i86 box with 1GB running FreeBSD? If not, how are you folks worrying the scalability issue? While this isn't specifically a PHP question, I think scalability of PHP applications is germane to the list. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php __ Do you Yahoo!?

[PHP] PHP5 - OOP Question
Hello Group, I would like to know which one is the most appropriate way to implement the following scenario. For example, I want to display a products catalogue of 100 products. I do have a base class of product which contains all the basic property of the product (Product title, product description, product price etc)and constructor basically pulls the information about the product from the DB based on the product identifier (Primary key). Now i have two ways to display catalogue. 1. I can write only one query to pull all 100 products information and store product information to each product object (With out passing product id to the constructor) into the collection and later i iterate that collection to display product catalogue. (Advantage: less communication with database server and disadvantage: memory consumption is higher) 2. I can initiate an individual product object by passing product id into the constructor and constructor will pull an individual product information from the DB and at the same time i can display it (Disadvantage: Lots of communication with database server and Advantage: memory consumption is less) If you think about inheritance then eventually this approach will have lots of database calls. Please guide me as i am stuck up which way to go. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks, Hardik __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

Re: [PHP] single quote escape questions
Secondly, what is best/favorite way to escape chars for mysql? I know that mysql_real_escape_string() has been recommended recently. But that brings up the issue of magic quotes. Would set_magic_quotes_runtime(0) be a reliable way of making sure my code runs with magic quotes off? It's recommended to use mysql_real_escape_string() to eacape funky characters. Addslashes() does the same thing but as we are storing data in the database so it's better to offload it to the database. In future if database needs to escape another character then mysql_real_escape_string() will take care of it easily.

Re: [PHP] addslashes vs. mysql_real_escape_string

In the examples in the manual it is just used to escape the ' character, but that is exactly what addslashes() will do anyway. real_escape_string() takes the current character set into consideration when it escapes characters. Probably 99% of the time it's going to behave like addslashes(), but it's still good to use it because you're letting the database determine what needs to be escaped rather than just assuming it's only the characters covered by addslashes(). Is mysql_real_escape_string tolerant of magic quotes? i.e. will you end up with double-quoted strings like: it\\'s a lovely day if you call it too many times? Yes, you'll end up with extra backslashes. If you ever see it\'s a lovely day in your database, then you're escaping the string more than once. You shouldn't see escape characters in your database or have to stripslashes() anything coming out of your database (unless you have magic_quotes_runtime() enabled). -- ---John Holmes...

Re: [PHP] new session in new window
Nice article by the way, and I am indeed already using those same methods to secure the user session. (I use SHA1 on the IP, PHPSESSIONID, user agent, and a secret...) Thanks for the kind words. I must point out that you'll never see me suggesting to use the IP address for anything important, especially anything regarding security. I read your article about session security on php magazine as well as on php architect. Both are very nice articles. I would like to ask you what is the reason you are not suggesting to use IP address as one of the parts in generating the fingerprint. In php architect magazine (Feb) you have suggested to use session_regenerate_id() on all the pages before i start session. In my application i am storing some variables temporarily into the DB for the specific session ID. Now if session id changes from page to page then how would i retrieve the information back from the DB? What is the reason you are suggesting to use that function? Also, George Schlossnagle recently expressed to me that he has observed the User-Agent header changing for the same client. I've never heard of this myself, and he had nothing but his memory of the event to support it, but it's something to keep in mind. I try to never punish a user who fails a check, just in case the user isn't actually the bad guy. Rather, I ask the user to re-enter the password or something, which is less problematic (unless the user really is a bad guy). Please let me know what should be the best combination of fingerprint. Currently i am using SECRETWORD + user agent + accept charset + session id and hashing it with md5(). Now if someone has pointed that user agent changes for the same browser then i don't think it's worth to add user agent. What do you think? I have one concern for securing the session variables. I may be wrong here. If bad guy steals session id information then he can also produce the same fingerprint too. Because right now i am storing the fingerprint into the session variable and on everypage i am checking the expected fingerprint. So please explain me how bad guy can attack to client machine.. How the fingerprint can save an application from this attack? I am not clear here. Thanks for the nice articles. I am waiting for your future security tips on php architect magazine.

In my website I have included the command session_start(); at the top of every page. Firstly is this correct? Yes (sort of). The real deal is that session_start() has to occur before you start sending any actual content -- if you have, say, a lot of initialization logic, this could actually be quite a long way into your script. Secondly when I visit the website the first link I click on has the php session ID appended to the url however this php session ID is not appended to subsequent links ! Is this correct behaviour? Yes. It's simply the nature of cookies that it takes at least one round trip to the server to work out if you have them enabled -- and on that trip, the only way to propagate the session id is to pass it in the URL. What is going on? Can anyone explain? On your initial visit to the site, you will not have a session-id cookie set, so PHP doesn't know if you have cookies enabled or not. When you first click a link, therefore, the session id is appended to the URL, *and* a session-id cookie header is sent. On the next (and subsequent) clicks, the cookie will be received from your browser, PHP knows you have cookies enabled, and therefore relies on the cookie and does not add the session id to the URL.

Re: [PHP] Session and Cookie issue
Thank you Chris. I have selected Disable cookie option in the safari browser setting on my MAC. Before selecting this option, my website was working fine but after disabling the cookie option, i am not able to log-in to my website. There are at least two options: 1. Include the session identifier in all your URLs manually. I did this and it works fine. Now by doing this i have a question pop up in my mind is about Security. What security measures should i take when i am passing the session id value on URL? 2. Let PHP do this for you by enabling session.use_trans_sid in your php.ini. With option # 2 i have the same concern of Security. Please clarify the security measures. With option 2, the session identifier will be appended to all URLs when the user first visits the page, and every visit thereafter only performs this action if the user has disabled cookies. Hope that helps. Chris Thanks a lot. Hardik __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] Can Objects be passed to another page?
Yeah you can pass object using serialize function and
later on you can use unserialize function to convert
the serialized variable in the original object.

[PHP] Function arguments
Hi Group, I have a question on overloaded function. What is the best way to pass the arguments so it is easy to maintain in future if function behaviour changes by adding/removing one or more arguments? Currently i am passing arguments in array. But i think it is not the clean way to do it and another approach i am using is functionName(arg1, arg2='', arg3='') but here again i think it is not easy to maintain.

Re: [PHP] Auto session timeout
Hi John, Thanks for your response. Actually i am thinking on the same way except saving the URL of the page. You gave me a really good tip of storing the URL with all other information. Additionally, i was thinking to implement the Save feature of MS word. So user can keep saving his/her work after some period of time.. There is still one problem. On so many forms on my education intranet application, students are submitting the final projects with the supporting documents and images. Once they submit the final project, my script is performing serveral error checking for the file size, extension etc. What should i have to do for those kind of stuff? Because if someone submits a very large file then my script won't be able to upload the file (because of PHP file upload limit set into the php.ini) Let me know if you have any suggestion for improving this functionality a little bit more.

So, whether the browser window is open or not, the file will be deleted if it hasn't been accessed, thus ending the session. The time that this happens isn't exact, though, since garbage collection is triggered based upon traffic to your site and a probability you set in php.ini.

Re: [PHP] XML
Hi there, I read this interesting thread and come up with some questions. 1. How efficient is to use XML+XSLT solution? Does it add processing overhead to the system? 2. Do you have some examples which can describe the separation of layers using the XML+XSLT technology? 3. Currently i am storing the data in the mysql database. so first i need to create the xml file on fly and then i need to integrate this xml file with the xsl style sheet. Please corret if i am wrong anywhere So far i have above questions in my mind. If i come up with other questions then i will let you know. Thanks Hardik --- Ray Hunter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: XML is a way to store data in a structure format that is correct and is platform independent; meaning u can share data with anything that understands xml format. For web applications xml allows you to send data to the client and have the browser do the parsing for you. (I would suggest ie5.5 and ns6.0 browsers if you are doing client-side parsing). If you are doing server-side php parsing then i would suggest using domxml+domxslt or using xslt (sablotron). Then you can parse the xml doc, get xhtml(html) and send that to the user. The benefits are seperation of logic and presentation in your php. All presentation code should be in your xslt style sheets and all logic should create a data document (xml). This allow you to change the presentation with out changing logic. -- BigDog On Tue, 2003-07-08 at 04:26, Petre Agenbag wrote: Hi List Firstly, this question is arguable more about XML than PHP, but they are interlinked, so I hope it is topical for this list. Firstly, Where I come from: I am VERY comfortable with PHP/MySQL on Linux and understand all those concepts. Now I'm trying to see the benefits of XML, and quite frankly, I just cannot see why one would want to use it... Anyway, I don't want to start a discussion on that from. I have done extensive reading on XML/XSL(XSLT : XHTML), DTD and XML parsing on browser and server side. I arguable still don't have a 100% understanding of exactly how things fit together, but the little bit I think I got so far is: I would use an XML doc to package my data in a structure. This XML file is useless on it's own, and good for transporting data to another app or client. Should I need to do something with the data, I would look at XSL and in particular XSLT in order to convert the XML into XHTML so a browser can display the data ( so we can safely assume that I am only interested in the web applications of XML) This is where I'm starting to get a headache, because now it seems that there are browser issues wrt XSL, and one also have the added choice of parsing the XML with the browser or on server level. For me, parsing it on browser level must be a no-no, as I would assume that it's would take alot of effort to find out what type of browser the client has, then load the appropriate XSL file for that browser. So, I'm here, with the server side XML parsing in mind. Now on M$ systems, it seems that IIS has built in ActiveX XMLDOM parsing built in, and you can easily parse the XML document by using ASP etc. So can I assume that this is also true with PHP/Apache, ie, Apache has a built in XML parser and I can use PHP fnuctions to parse my XML file on the server side and thus pump out XHTML that is compatible with all past and future browsers? Also, what is the procedure that most of you (members of the PHP lists) follow when dealing with XML. ie, do you go for the client side parsing or do you do server side parsing. And how do you decide when to use XML and when to stick to trusty old PHP/MySQL? ( Sorry, know this is probably the dumbest question I can ask, but I really battle to see when to use it, or rather WHY I should use it seeing that the data is arguably static in nature ( I would either get the XML file from somewhere else, or I would generate it from some source and pass it on, effectively creating a little data island/snapshot of the actual data at a point in time?)

Re: [PHP] Code and Good Design Methods
Hi Joel, Thanks for nice comments on the XML, XSL. I want to know more about it. can you please send me some article, links and tutorials? Thanks Hardik --- Joel Rees [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Let's be honest, XSL is is one big logic step itself -- moreover it's a whole other language to learn. ramble I wouldn't call it a _big_ step. It only looks big when you look down. 8-) I would tend rather to encourage the use of XSL, myself. If you can pick up php okay, you ought to have few problems with XSL. (My biggest problem with XSL is remembering to let the application language handle the hard logic. Don't try to calculate the company budget in XSL, except as a logic game to amuse yourself while riding the train home.) You have your data in the database, and a filter (ergo, PHP code) to extract the data, dress it up a bit and add XML tags. Then you have an XSL filter to munge the XML into HTML. And the nice thing about XSL is that the web page layout is all determined by the XSL. Of course, it does work out to be a bit messier than it sounds, but the benefits are definite. To the OP -- don't focus on the code, don't focus on the coding style either, focus on the problem. The object is not to avoid mixing PHP and HTML, and the object is not to use (or not use) objects. Rather, it is to separate processes that are more related to the business side of things from processes that are more related to the presentation side. My comments on XSL aside, you can program both business and presentation in PHP. HTML will mostly be in the presentation side, but not necessarily always. For instance, on the business side, you may sometimes want to provide a table of the projected monthly profits for the next year as a complete table wrapped in tags, rather than providing the raw numbers to the presentation side. If the design is in someone else's hands, you'll want a template engine. The basic concept is that the designer designs the template, putting template tags in where the data should go. The presentation code picks up the data and the template, replaces the tags with the data, and spits the result out at the viewer's browser. Some template engines are better at actually conforming to that model than others (particualarly in relation to your app), and XSL can definitely be used in ways that don't conform to that model. That's no big deal, just part of what makes life interesting. (And if you get into Javaland, you'll hear a lot about MVC and frameworks. That's a slightly more refined, uhm, model.) /ramble -- Joel Rees, programmer, Kansai Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php __ Do you Yahoo!?

[PHP] XML+XSLT or Smarty again??
Hi Everyone, Thanks to community for previous answers I want to know more regarding XML+XSLT technology to seperate presentation layer from the business logic. First let me explain on which tools i am currently working on. I am basically using PHP, MySQL and Apache on Sun Solaris environment. Using these tools i am developing mid to large web based applications. Currently i am not using any kind of template engine to seperate my presentation layer from business logic. Now i am looking for the recommendation from PHP community about template engine system. Along with that i am also reading XML+XSLT as well as Smarty resources from the web. During reading of XML+XSLT and Smarty, i have following two questions. 1. Currently i am retrieving information from the MySQL database and iterating result set using PHP code. Now with the use of XML+XSLT i have to retrieve information first as an XML document and then XSLT renders the XML document using PHP. Am i right? If i am correct then i am concern for resources which are going to use on Server side. (For example: Using XML+XSLT i have to create XML document and that could be extra step) In smarty actually you don't need to create secondary storage. So is it worth to use XML+XSLT in medium to big web application with considerable trafic? 2. Smarty has compiled once technology means all the templates and php files are compiled only one time unless if template or php file changes. While in XML+XSLT, everytime server needs to process certain actions (Database to XML and XSLT parsing) So again is it worth to use XML+XSLT if you are concern for speed? Actually i dont know much about Advantages of XML+XSLT in web based application. What i know is Smarty's advantages. So if you have any idea then please let me know. I am more and more concern for perfect selection of template engine. It would be nice if anyone can share XML+XSLT development with me. Regards, Hardik Doshi __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [PHP] WYSIWIG CMS Part1
I think XML and XSLT are the alternative of Smarty template engine. But i dont know how i can sepeatate my code using XML and XSL style sheets? If anyone can give me more information then it would be nice. I know how to write XSL style sheet along with XML document. But i really dont know what contents should be in XML. If XML contains data (and it is true) then what is the need of MySQL? At last i can say i don't know application of XML and XSL for seperating PHP and HTML code. Please Clear my doubts. Hardik --- Sascha Braun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mh, I don't really know, but I think smarty is even better, because XSL Stylesheets have to be translatet by an extra Server Engine, so everything can be translatet into HTML, so far as I know.

Smarty can be used without installing some extra things, I think. But really don't know either, because I never used smarty before, just read a little about it ;)). XML should maybe be used to store Configurationfiles and Database Content into static files for exchanging the Content with other Applikations like Quark Xpress or Indesign or maybe to share it with with Cellphones (Which there is no need to, because PHP is able to write XHTML).

A CMS is a very important and popular prog, so it might get the same attention as basic templates get, like SMARTY.

I've found this is nice but a bit annoying since I have to write everything from scratch. After about a week or two trying to get my parser just right I gave up and used MSXML 4.0 which is a Microsoft COM Object and contains everything you need to created XML Documents, parse them, validate them agaisnt DTD and XSD Schemas, etc... I use php's COM Support http://php.net/com to do this and created a wrapper object around the COM object with php for easy implementation.. Hope that helps. -Chris -Original Message- From: Hardik Doshi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 7:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] XML PHP question Hi everyone, Can you please tell me what is the best way of working with XML technology using PHP?
