With file_put_contents you send a flag to lock the file and avoid
concurrency problems, eg:

file_put_contents('/some/file', 'data', FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

Re: [PHP] Common session for all subdomains?

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi!

You should use the function session_set_cookie_params to set the
session cookie domain to ".oire.org" like this comment explains:
php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php#94961

Hi,

I don't know if it meets all of the features you enumerated but Mantis

Re: [PHP] Check for existence of mail address

[Jonathan Tapicer]

You can use this class:

It may not work for some SMTPs.

It uses the concepts explained here:

Re: [PHP] Including files on NFS mount slow with APC enabled

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi,

APC checks by default if every included file was modified doing a stat
call. You can disable it, setting apc.stat to 0
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php#ini.apc.stat). Try
if that improves the performance. Of course, you should manually
delete the APC opcode cache every time you modify a PHP file, since
APC won't detect that it was modified.

Regards,

Jonathan

Re: [PHP] array_count_values Problem

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi,

The function array_count_values returns an array
(http://php.net/array_count_values). So you are using it the wrong
way, you should assign the return value to a variable and then access
some index.

Re: [PHP] Re: SQL Queries

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hello,

That kind of queries usually run faster using a LEFT JOIN, like this:

select u.id
from users u
 left join notes n on u.id = n.user_id
where n.id is null;

That query will give you the ids of the users without notes. Make sure
to have an index on notes.user_id to let the LEFT JOIN use it and run
faster.

Hope that helps, regards,

Jonathan

Re: [PHP] Logic of conditionals and the ( ) operators

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi,

Yes, what Ashley said is correct. Also, if you want to avoid writing
$perm several times in the if, or if you have a lot of permissions you
can do:

if (in_array($perm, array(11, 22)))

And you can put in that array all the permissions you need to.

Re: [PHP] Lightweight web server for Windows?

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Try nginx (http://nginx.net/), very light, has a Windows binary
distribution and can be configured easily for PHP.

You can also find some version of Lighttpd compiled for Windows and
skip the compilation troubles, and you can use this:
http://sites.google.com/site/lightytray/ to control the webserver.

Both of them are lighter than Apache.

Good luck,

About the blind users, he can use recaptcha (recently aquired by
Google), http://recaptcha.net/, which has an audio version captcha.

I'm not saying that the filter by IP won't work, but it won't be 100%
effective, and a captcha will.

Re: [PHP] Spam opinions please

That will work just for one IP, but they could spam you from another
IP. I suggest you add a good captcha to the form and that way you can
avoid spam forever.

Re: [PHP] exec() confused by a specially crafted string

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Confirmed, it also happens to me on Linux, PHP version:

PHP 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.7 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Aug 21
2009 19:52:39)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies

And adding a single character to the echoed string makes it work fine,
seems like a bug to me.

Jonathan

Re: [PHP] Newb question about getting keys/values from a single array element

[Jonathan Tapicer]

One possible solution:

 'peach');
list($id, $name) = array_merge(array_keys($a), array_values($a));
echo "The ID is $id and the name is $name";
?>

Prints: "The ID is 8575 and the name is peach".

Re: [PHP] Converting print_r() output to an array

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi,

May be you want to take a look at serialize and unserialize functions,
serialize generates a string from a variable and then unserialize can
give you the value of the variable back from the string.

Re: [PHP] Stricter Error Checking?

[Jonathan Tapicer]

I think he meant that he is using 'Number' instead of 'Part_Number'
when accessing the array and not in the SQL, his SQL was correct, this
was wrong:

> echo $row['Number'];

E_STRICT catches that kind of error.

Hi,

There is, see here (or it can also be set through php.ini):

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

You are looking for E_STRICT.

Re: [PHP] Problem with date

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Adding the number of seconds in a day could fall in the same day due
to daylight saving time, a more reliable way of adding one day (or a
given number of days) is this:

$tomorrow  = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")  , date("d")+1, date("Y"));

Then use date() with $tomorrow to format it.

(Taken from example #3 here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php, see the Note below the
example in that page).

Hope that helps.

Jonathan

Re: [PHP] File download question

[Jonathan Tapicer]

I think that your problem in this line:

  header("Content-Disposition: filename=$file" . "%20");

I don't know what that %20 is for and you should quote the filename,
that line should be something like this:

header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");

Considering that $filename already has the 7z extension.

Re: [PHP] Who kown this memcache_get_stats function ?

[Jonathan Tapicer]

I think that the documentation for memcache_get_stats should be
exactly the same as the one given for the method Memcache::getStats
except that memcache_get_stats should receive as the first parameter a
reference to the Memcache connection.

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] preg_replace anything that isn't WORD

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Negating specific words with regexes isn't a good practice (see a deep
discussion here: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=588315), in your
case I would resolve it like this:



That will output:

array(5) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "cat"
  [1]=>
  string(10) "s i saw a "
  [2]=>
  string(3) "cat"
  [3]=>
  string(7) " and a "
  [4]=>
  string(3) "dog"
}

Then you just have to go through the result array of preg_split and
concatenate every "cat" and "dog".

Regards,

Jonathan

Re: [PHP] Displaying 2 digit minutes/seconds

[Jonathan Tapicer]

You can use sprintf or str_pad to fill in with zeros, with sprintf you
can do this:

echo sprintf('%02d', 5);

That will print the string "05".

Embedded loops are OK, actually I don't know a language where you can't do it :)

I think that your problem is the $shows array creation, you do this:

> $shows = array();
>
>  $shows['show_01'] = $show_01;
>  $show_01 = array();

Note that you are assigning $show_01 to a key in $shows before
creating $show_01, you should first create and fill $show_01 and then
assign it to a key in $shows.

Hope that helps.

Re: [PHP] Notification system

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Also, take a look at Comet Server:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)

I think that Facebook uses that and also Gmail, it tends to consume
less resources than periodical ajax calls, the hidden iframe method is
simple and works fine. To implement it in PHP you will need to use the
flush function to send data a continue processing/polling.

If you want the string to be rendered as it is without variable
replacements you can use single quotes, like this:

comment('test of $newComment');

That will render exactly this:

test of $newComment

Hope that helps you.

Re: [PHP] how to pass variable argument list in a childconstructor to parent constructor, ideas wanted

[Jonathan Tapicer]

I don't understand completely your problem, but think that something
like this may help you:



This will output:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
  [2]=>
  int(3)
}

As expected.

The key is using call_user_func_array in combination with
func_get_args to call the parent constructor without knowing the
number of parameters.

Let me know if that helps.

Re: [PHP] This isn't infinitely recursive is it?

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi,

Well, you will have an infinite recursion there if the mapping has
cycles, something like A->B, B->C, C->A would generate an invite
recursion.

Checking if the mapping has cycles is pretty simple: you have to
create a directed graph and then go through the graph in DFS marking
each visited node, if you have to mark a node already marked then you
have a cycle. Tarjan's algorithm does that and a little more, see
here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarjan%27s_strongly_connected_components_algorithm

Hope that helps.

Yes, it's the same, you can use only one \ in that case, sometimes you
have to escape if it is followed by a character that needs to be
escaped, for example you can't do echo '\'; you should do echo '\\';

Re: [PHP] Expand Variables in String

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Use eval, like this:

eval('$str_expanded = "' . str_replace('"', '\\"', $str) . '";');

The str_replace is used because you could have a " inside $str and it
would break the string, if you are sure the $str has no " inside you
can omit it.

Re: [PHP] Re: Question on code profiling

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Just an idea: try using the (microtime(true) - $start) approach in
portions of code to try isolate the portion that is taking more time.
Sometimes that helps me to find "the" function that is slowing
everything down.

That is javascript thing, not PHP.

The Yahoo UI has a nice one, here you have an example:

Re: [PHP] why is this shell_exec() failing to execute my shell to create a symlink?

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Make sure that:

- The user executing the script (apache I presume) has execute
permissions on ls and ln binaries.
- The user executing the script has write persmissions on the
directory you are trying to write, and read permissions where you do
ls.
- This will probably help: put the full binary path for ls and ln, it
depends on your OS, but probably they are: /bin/ls and /bin/ln

If that doesn't help, can you show us the output?

Re: [PHP] CSV file

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Hi,

I don't say that reading the whole file into memory is the best
option, I just say that your approach goes to the disk twice, if you
have a 100MB file, you are reading 200MB from disk (unless there are
some pages cached in physical memory, but you never can know, in the
best case all the pages will be cached and you will only read 100MB
from disk); and mine, if you have 100MB or more physical memory
(available for the script) will only go once. Of course, if you have
low physical memory, in the worst case you will end up reading 200MB
from disk, because all the pages will go to the pagefile.

So, both approaches have a worst case of reading approximately two
times the file size from disk and a best case of reading it
approximately only once from disk, and since you never know the actual
conditions of the memory, you can't say which approach is better
without additional information.

In the general case, I think that your approach is better for large
files and mine for small files, with the size barrier depending on the
memory set up and current conditions at the time the script runs.

This discussion went in a different direction considering the initial
question of Alain, but this could always be useful for someone.

Re: [PHP] CSV file

[Jonathan Tapicer]

Well, you are reading the whole file there (and throwing the data you
read not assigning the fgets result to anything), and then to store it
in the database you need to read it again, so you read the file twice.
It will probably better to store the data you read the first time in
an array and then store it in the database, that way you read it only
once.

Anyway, doing it by file size is better.

To do the line count first, you have to read the whole file, how would

If you want to know how many lines there are *before* inserting to the
database, you can't count "as you go", you have to either read the
file twice or read it once, store it memory in a variable and then
insert in the database.

Re: [PHP] CSV file

You can read the whole file (file_get_contents) and count the number
of "\n" in it, or read it line by line with fgets and store the lines
in an array, and then the number of lines is the count() of the array,
and you can use that array to store it in the database.

Re: [PHP] Problems with APC, possible cache-corruption?

Can you do a phpinfo(); and tell us the value of the setting
apc.filters (or every apc.* if you can)? Just curious, but I've seen
apps set that setting to avoid APC opcode caching.
