[PHP] error from 4.3.10: The specified procedure could not be found.

[Javier Muniz]

Forgive me if this has been answered before, but all I was able to find
was a "bogus" bug report on this issue that did not contain any useful
information.  When installing php 4.3.10 on a Win2k3 machine I'm getting
the "The specified procedure could not be found." Error from any php
page I attempt to execute.  I don't have any extensions enabled and this
is a completely vanilla install of 4.3.10.  Followed the installation
procedure to a tee.  It works with 4.3.6 but 4.3.6 has other
show-stopper bugs.  It looks like other people are having this problem
as well, though it doesn't appear (at least, not to Google) that anyone
has been able to solve it.

Any information is greatly appreciated, including links to any FAQs that
might be helpful since I haven't found any that contain *any* useful
information on this problem.

Thanks,
-Javier

RE: [PHP] Unique ID

[Javier Muniz]

auto_increment is not in the SQL standard, and not everyone uses MySQL.  To
be cross-compatible between databases use a Sequence:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db.intro-sequences.php
provides a brief introduction, the PEAR::DB class allows you to use
sequences easily.

Neither auto-increment nor sequences allow you to do what you're asking for
though, which is like database garbage collection.  If you really need
something like this you should implement it in a cron job that runs during
non-peak hours as it will be quite an expensive operation on a large table
(the best way I can think of would be to iterate over all table rows and
look for "gaps" in the table, and for each gap take the record with the
highest ID and change the ID to fill the gap, then update all replys to
match the new ID, after everything is finished reset the sequence to the
highest id in the modified table and you're done).  

Note from the MySQL manual for you auto_increment fans out there:

Posted by Jim Martin on Tuesday October 1 2002, @11:57am  

Just in case there's any question, the
AUTO_INCREMENT field /DOES NOT WRAP/. Once you
hit the limit for the field size, INSERTs generate
an error. (As per Jeremy Cole)

And the comment a few beyond that regarding being able to drop the index and
renumber doesn't help here, as there is an exterior resource (the reply
table) that will be broken as soon as the ids change.

If anyone has a better suggestion on how to do this I'd love to hear it :)

If you can't change your database for some reason, for instance if it's a

I believe this has been answered quite recently and the large consensus was
to have a daemon (cron or otherwise) check for some status file or database
entry, which when set it would perform the required function. So for
instance to reboot the machine, perhaps a cron job would check for the
existence of /tmp/myFrontEnd/reboot and if found reboot the machine. Thus
the front end would only need to create the file.

RE: [PHP] Beveled text

[Javier Muniz]

Ok, that's reasonable.  My only suggestion would be to cache the images that
your script generates.  A good way to do this is to md5 or otherwise hash
the arguments to the PNG generation code and then have the code search for a
file in a specified directory (/tmp/generated_pngs for instance) with that
name before calling gd, if it exists just read out that file, otherwise
generate a new one and place it in the directory.  This will lower your
overhead without adding too much complexity.  To spray out the cached
version of your PNG use readfile() or something similar.

When I originally created the script, it was simply an exercise, to 
see if I could do it.  However, I have since then incorporated it into a 
site design of mine, where I wanted the headers to be images, 
dynamically created.  So yes, for each page that loads, each header 
calls this script which then spits out the PNG data.  Large overhead, 
simply because I never bothered looking into doing it with CSS, and also 
because outputting a PNG image I'm guaranteed it will work, and it will 
look the way I want it to look (both font type, as well as with layout 
positioning,) as opposed to dealing with broken browsers and people not 
seeing the same thing.  And also because I can use my fonts, instead of 
relying on the user having a particular font installed on their system.

RE: [PHP] Beveled text

[Javier Muniz]

You'll have to increase the character spacing as well, so that each
character has the same center not just the individual word/phrase.  I don't
think this is going to be exactly a bevel effect, but on small enough text
it might appear like one.

Well, I'm speaking from imagination here but I imagine the effect could be
obtained by creating a series of layers to one item in a loop, changing the
alpha transparency slightly each time as well as shrinking the size of the
image.  You'd start with 75ish alpha level and then loop through one level
at a time up a to 100 or something like that, shrinking the text gradually
and building off the same center each time.

Try it and tell me what happens, I am curious.

Agreed, and the flexibility of smarty allows for quite a bit more

RE: [PHP] returning a variable from a class function? plus other probs

[Javier Muniz]

Your sql statement is generating an error.  You can test for this using
mysql_errno and mysql_error to test for and view the error, respectively.
The likely cause of the SQL error is that you are not putting quotes (')
around your string for the email query, the proper query would look like:

$chk = "select id, fname from contact_info where email = '$email'";

Hope that helps!

while (admittedly off and on).  I'm creating a signup form for alumni of our
department, and I'm trying to verify that they have not signed up previously
before allowing their data to be inserted.  Trouble has ensued! :)

In the following code:

class alumnus {
function
addAlum($fname,$lname,$tel,$address,$city,$state,$zipcode,$country,$email) {
$conxn = mysql_connect('localhost','root','redtail.7') or fail("Could
not connect: ".mysql_error());
$dbSelect = mysql_select_db("alumni", $conxn) or fail("Could not select
database: ".mysql_error());
$chk = "Select id, fname from contact_info where email =" . $email;
$result = mysql_query($chk);
$dataSet = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$fields = mysql_num_fields($dataSet);
if ($fields=="0") {
  $insertData = "INSERT into contact_info
(fname,lname,tel,address,city,state,zipcode,country,email)
VALUES
('$fname','$lname','$tel','$address','$city','$state','$zipcode','$country',
'$email')";
  $query = mysql_query($insertData);
  if ($query) {
$bool="true";
return $bool;
  }
}
  }

I keep getting "supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource" for
the lines using mysql_fetch_array and mysql_num_fields - I've looked up the
functions but it doesn't seem like I'm misusing them.  PLUS my $bool doesn't
show up outside like I'd like it to.  Can somebody guide me on the right
path here?

Thanks!

RE: [PHP] Validation: Problems with header(Location) in PHP

[Javier Muniz]

Hi Martin,

When they say at the top of the page before anything else, they mean before
any other output.  Just make sure that you don't have any HTML/text before
the header("Location: ...") that's outside of your 's, and that you
don't echo anything before your header call.

Hi!

I am kind of newbie coming from ASP and I came upon some hindrances, which
could be because of not knowing enough of PHP

The problem is:
I am trying to make a form with good and user-friendly validation. After
failure to validate properly some of the fields and going to another page
i.e. the  I need to go back to the previos
page where the form is. In ASP I would use Response.Redirect and that's it
but the

header (Location...) in PHP is said that it must be on top of the HTML page
before anything else. This doesn't seems to work for me.

Does anyone has a solution to this problem?

Many thanks in advance!

RE: [PHP] PHP5 interfaces?

[Javier Muniz]

So does this mean that I can then do:

Class BusyBoardMember implements Employee, BoardMember
{
function position() {
// code for Employee implementation;
  }
function position() {
// code for BoardMember implementation;
  } 
}

And if I only implement position() once then it will return an error?

This seems more than a little confusing, and like it could cause serious
mistakes down the road (during maintenance, etc)

I would imagine priority would be based on the order of the named
interfaces. Thus in your example it would use the Employee position()
method.

Re: [PHP] PHP5 interfaces?

[Javier Muniz]

What I meant was not the implementation, what I meant was that there was no
way for the compiler/parser to know whether I was implementing position()
from the Employee interface or the BoardMember interface, the declaration
was ambiguous.

If I implement the function there, then (from what I can tell) it becomes
the position member for both the BoardMember interface AND the Employee
interface.  While this might be desired in some cases, it's definitely not
desired in all cases, so there needs to be some other identifier (such as
the implements keyword followed by which interface(s) this function should
be used for).

PHP5 may have such an identifier, but I have not found any documentation at
this point...

It is not ambiguous, you should implement the function here.

[PHP] PHP5 interfaces?

[Javier Muniz]

Wondering if maybe someone famililar with php5 can respond to this.  I am
reading about PHP5 and it's interface support, and i have a concern.  The
purpose of interfaces is to handle multiple inheritance in a fashion that
resolves a number of conflicts that arise when performing true multiple
inheritance, the most obvious conflict being two identical members being
inherited from different classes.
 
What appears to be missing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is the ability to
address this issue in PHP5.  A (rather poor) Example:
 
interface BoardMember
{
function position(); // used to set board position of board member
}
interface Employee
{
function position();  // used to set job title of employee
}
 
class BusyBoardMember implements Employee, BoardMember 
{
function position();  // what does this function do? ambiguous unless I
am missing something
}
 
In Visual Basic, for instance, this is handled using the "implements"
keyword, so the function definitions within BusyBoardMember would look like:
 
function position() implements Employee.position()
function position() implements BoardMember.position()
 
Then when you do something like
 
function operatesOnEmployee(Employee $e) 
{
  $e->position("CEO")
}
 
or
 
function operatesOnBoardMember(BoardMember $b) {
  $b->position("Chairman")
}
 
The right thing can happen, as the compiler/parser knows which position()
you're referring to in each case.
 
Hopefully this is the right list to be posting this, and hopefully I'm
completely wrong and have missed something while reading about PHP5 :)

[PHP] Issues with fopen & long file names?

[Javier Muniz]

I'm trying to open a file using php 4.1.0 under windows 2k server.  
The script uses fopen and the filename is long (approx 40 characters +
extension).
I'm getting the error:

Warning: fopen("c:\_file_345176fo90301b70374d2f30e5a11d5b.ext ", "r") -
Invalid argument in file.php on line 127

can fopen not handle long file names, or am I doing something wrong?  The
script uses \\ not \, so that's not the problem (even though only one \) is
displayed above.

if fopen can't display long file names, is there a function that will return
the short (i.e. _file_~1.ext) format?

any help is appreciated.

mysql_error() is a good debugging tool; it will return an error string

[PHP] PHP + MySQL problem (strange behavior)

[Javier Muniz]

Hello,

I'm having trouble determining what's going wrong with a MySQL query that
I'm doing from PHP.  Now before you go blaming MySQL read on :)

I have a table with the following columns:
id (int)
name (varchar 20)
starttime (int)
duration (int)

now, i have a row that has a starttime of 60, when i attempt to do the
following update with PHP, it sets it to 0:

"UPDATE mytable SET starttime=starttime-30 WHERE name = 'myname'"

but when I run it from the MySQL command line, copy/pasted from the code, it
sets the value of starttime to 30 as expected.

Anyone have any clue why this is?

[PHP] Problem with timeouts

[Javier Muniz]

I've written a PHP script that's used internally by an application backend.
It transfers files via FTP from one server to another.  This process often
takes in excess of 1hr.  My problem is that for some reason, even though
i've set the max_execution_time in the php.ini is set to 10800 (3 hours) the
script gets "CGI Application Timeout: The specified CGI application exceeded
the allowed time for processing.  The server has deleted the process." after
5 minutes of execution.

I'm running PHP 4.04pl1 under IIS 4.0.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Javier

RE: [PHP] Giving my script the power!

[Javier Muniz]

I do a similar thing on my machines, only instead of having a java daemon
that runs as root I chose to create a database that the php script can
insert user and other information into, then a perl script that is called
from cron that fetches from the database and does the necessary user adds.

This is a nice system for adding users to many systems at once for a network
that is not running NIS, as all of the linux machines on my network can
fetch data from the database and add the users as necessary.

I don't, however, trust the security of this implementation, and only use it
on our internal network that sits behind a firewall.   I'd recommend that
you take the same precaution.

Hi,

I'm doing the exact same thing as you and I got the exact same problem.
After
getting almost crazy with trying everything possible to run a script as
root,
someone told me that I'm limited to the server permission. So I decided to
simply create a java deamon wich run as root. This deamon wait on a port for
commands (encrypted) to be executed.via fsockopen(...).  Surprisly, it was
easy and it work prety well...

Hope it helps

RE: [PHP] Script to convert # of seconds to HH:mm

[Javier Muniz]

should probably be:

function philtime($time) {
$hours = ($time - ($time % 3600)) / 3600;
$min = (int) (($time % 3600) / 60);
return ("$hours:$min");
}

This way you don't risk rounding up on your first cast to int and being off
by an hour... rounding is ok, however, for minutes since that is your most
granular interval.

Encode them, or set filesystem permissions in such a way (suggest using
groups) to allow apache to read files but not other users.

For instance, if your users are all members of the users group, and apache
runs as nobody, then set your files to be owned by the user with the nobody
group (chown user:nobody ) then set it to be readable by group, but
not others (chmod 640 ).

well, most hosts do, but not many are using 3.23.30 or higher. I'm 
looking for a host that somebody knows for sure is running a current 
version of mysql.

RE: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah

[Javier Muniz]

An exceptionally easy way to do this would be to pass both $PHP_SELF and
$REQUEST_URI.

Alternatively, you can use explode():



">
Username: 
etc

Subject: [PHP] Finding the? in $REQUEST_URI?page=blah


I really wouldn't ask this if I wasn't completely exausted, but the last
thing I feel like doing just now is reading up on this when someone can
probably answer it in a matter of seconds.

OK, I've an error handling page.  Basically, I want to split (that might
even be one of the functions I'll have to use) this sort of url:

error.php?/pages/login.php?username=name

into:

/pages/login.php

I'm using :

header("location: error.php?page=$REQUEST_URI");

When echoing the request_uri back on the error page, it omits the error.php?
bit, so I get:

login.php?username=name

The reason I want to do this is so that I can use a re-login form that will
submit to the page the user has badly logged into, so if they logged in to
main.php, the request_uri would be something like:

/pages/main.php?username=name

Which I'd want to rebuild on the error page, into a form, like:

">
Username: 
etc

Can anyone help?

Thankees :)

James.

RE: [PHP] using tar to untar a file into a certain dir... In php of course

[Javier Muniz]

Don't calls to system() live within their own shell and environment?  If so
you may need to:

system("cd /destination/dir && tar -xpf /some/path/to/tarfile.tar");

this will also insure that if the cd fails for some reason, tar will not
execute.

good point.  i should think before i post.

here is another go:

change the working directory of php and then extract from another file.

I do lots and lots of count()'s in PHP and have never had any problems... 
of course, I do it a bit differently than you did..

$Password = "yeahRight";
$myDatabase = "uhhuh";

$dbConn = mysql_connect( "localhost", $UserName, $Password ) or die(

mysql_select_db( $myDatabase ) or die( "Unable To Connect To Database: " . 
$myDatabase );
// up to here

// then I always make sure the file is included at the top of my page, and 
then call this query like this...
$qQuery = "SELECT Count(*) as nTotal FROM someDB";
$rQuery = mysql_query( $qQuery, $dbConn );
$qrQuery = mysql_fetch_array( $rQuery );
print( $qrQuery["nTotal"] );

RE: [PHP] MySQL COUNT Won't Work

[Javier Muniz]

Are you using 3.23.33?  If so try removing the space between the COUNT and
the open paren.  It looks like there may be a bug in the latest release
(seeing this problem on the mysql list for MAX, probably exists for COUNT as
well).

Nope, with php the second argument of mysql_query is indeed the connection
identifier.

What happens when you run the query via the mysql client?

Actually, if you read the manual entry for fpassthru, it states that the

So you're trying to close your filehandle twice... get rid of the
fclose($fp) at the end and you should be fine.

Instead of having individual users specified at certain points, why
don't you
say that a user has to be a member of a certain group? That way in order
to
open an access lock for a user, all you have to do is add them to the
group.
You could even make the security levels groups themselves.
