Re: [PHP] Sending out mass emails
In my opinion, this is what MTAs are designed for... Personally I throw every email I need to send at the MTA (postfix is the best!) and then let it handle processing the queue. If it goes too slow or too fast that's when you can alter the configuration (Side note: I'm pretty sure phpmailer would have some sort of delay built in, it seems to be quite feature-rich) or you can always build in your own manual loop, use sleep() or just launch the script and only run $x number of emails each time...

Re: [PHP] Altering the error_reporting
couldn't a user-defined error handler work for this?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-error-handler.php
obviously it would require the script that has the error handler still
be parsable.
but you get the info in the format:
handler ( int $errno , string $errstr [, string $errfile [, int
$errline [, array $errcontext ]]] )
you could print out the first two pieces, and not the last 3...

Understand I have error reporting off in the php.ini file and call the

I am sure this is doable I just cant figure out how to do this without

Re: [PHP] How to set sending e-mail address?
Return-path is used by mail daemons, not usually shown in client emails That's what From or Reply-to is for... Return-path is valuable for capturing bounces and stuff. I always set it to a bounce@ alias, and then the From: is always the friendly display address.

[PHP] Large/unreliable file uploading over HTTP
Let's face it - HTTP is not very good for file uploads. It's stateless nature, slow connections, inability to resume (technically), etc, etc. What I've been thinking about is a way to skip all the normal annoyances with file uploading - multipart form encodings, file upload tools with specific needs, PUT vs POST, connection resets, ... the list goes on and on. Usenet and BitTorrent and other protocols have the right idea - split up the workload into smaller sets of data. It's easier to operate on. Usenet has NZB files. BitTorrent splits everything up into chunks. Not only would it make working with the data more portable (no need to set your PHP memory limit or POST limits to insane amounts to support large files) but it could also support multiple segments of the file being transferred at once... Here's somewhat of a process braindump of what I'm thinking. It still requires a 'smart' applet (Flash, Java, anything that can split a file up and send data over HTTP/HTTPS) - no special socket needs, no PUT support needed, don't even need to use multipart POST encoding (as far as I know) - just send the data in chunks over the wire and have a PHP script on the other side collect the data and reassemble it. Does this sound insane? I think this is a pretty good approach - no PUT needed, no large POST configuration required, anything could upload to it as long as it sends the information properly (I'm thinking HTTP POST for the header info, and the data could be sent as another POST field maybe base64 encoded or something that will stay safe during transit...) - take input file, checksum it (md5 / sha1) - calculate number of chunks to split it up based on $chunk configured size (for example 128k chunks) - split the file into chunks of $chunk size and create checksums for all (could use sfv?) - send request to the server - with the info - use JSON? action=begin filename=$filename filesize=$filesize checksum=$checksum segments=list of segments (unique segment id, checksum, bytes) - server sends back a server ready and unique $transaction_id - start sending to the server, send header with transaction key and unique chunk identifier in it action=process transaction=$transaction_id segment=$unique_segment_id data=base64_encode($segment_data) - when done, server sends back $transaction_id, $segment_id, $status (okay, fail) - client compares checksum for identifier, if okay, move to next chunk - if it does not match, retry uploading to server again - when all chunks are done, send request with transaction key and action=finish transaction=$transaction_id - when the server receives this, it assembles the file from the segments and does a final checksum, and reports the checksum back to the client (warning: on a large file this could take a bit?) and sends back $transaction_id, $checksum - client does one last check against the file's original checksum, if it matches report success, otherwise report failure (would need to determine why though - if all segments match this should not be able to happen...) I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts. This would also allow for file upload progress, more or less, as the server and client are constantly communicating when chunks are done and in progress (but again, that has to be done with an applet) I can't think of any method to do it in-browser, but doing it this way could open the gates for things like Google Gears to possibly work too... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] newbie Q: How to say, if the fileNAME is equal to..., or better yet, if the fileNAME ends with '.jpg'?
On 25 August 2008 00:54, Govinda advised:
if (stripos(strrev($file), gpj.) === 0) {
echo $file;
}
note the ===, 3 equals signs here is very important! check the docs
for why.
== means 'equals', and === means 'is identical to'.
Seems like they would do the same thing when comparing '0' to 'the
position in the string where that substr is found'. Why not?
They would -- but stripos will also return FALSE if there is no match,
and FALSE==0 too!
or you could go a little more robust with regular expressions
if (preg_match(#^.*\.(jpe?g|gif|png)$#i, $file) {
echo $file; // any image file is echo'ed
}
ahhh reg expressions. So looking forward to when I can see PHP
properly/clearly enough to throw them in too! (meanwhile I better get
the basics first ;-)
Personally, I might be tempted to do something like this:
if (($pos = strrchr($file, '.'))!==FALSE):
switch (strtolower(substr($file, $pos))):
case '.gif':
case '.png':
case '.jpg':
case '.jpeg':
echo $file;
endswitch;
endif;
But then, I might go with the pattern match or the glob() solution, too!
;)

Of course, this could be simplified *slightly* by actually taking
advantage of the loose typing of PHP - change the above if statement
to:
if (($pos = strpos($file, '.')))
{
$restOfAboveCodeHere;
}
This way, if the file is the '.' or '..' files, then you will get a 0
for the position of the '.', which will evaluate to FALSE. All other
files will return a non-zero position of the '.' char, which will
evaluate to TRUE. Also, I would believe (but have no evidence at all
of) that a forward-looking string position search will be very
slightly faster than a strrchr search - dunno for certain, and don't
care enough to code up a couple-line test, but just my gut... ;)
The problem with that is that a file called, say, site.logo.jpg will
fail the subsequent tests, since the substr() on the next line will
return '.logo.jpg'. (And whilst it is vanishingly improbable, it is
_just_ possible for someone to supply a file called .gif ! ;)

This would also allow for file upload progress, more or less, as the server and client are constantly communicating when chunks are done and in progress (but again, that has to be done with an applet) I can't think of any method to do it in-browser, but doing it this way could open the gates for things like Google Gears to possibly work too... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php No virus found in this incoming message.

If you accepted the data raw you could dump the stream to a file until it ends, and then fseek($fp, $offset) when you get a resume request... PUT seems to be expected to be straight old file $x goes here ... I actually am not allowing the file to be put on the filesystem directly but fed to a PHP script.

I was wanting to see it first PUT the file, see if PHP accepted it, or it just said access denied I need to PUT a file but use a PHP script as a wrapper, and my webserver is nginx. I note in passing that if you're intending to use that markup in production, you should really enclose the text File: in a label element associated with the input element by having a for attribute matching an id attribute adding to the input.

[PHP] HTTP PUT for file uploads
It appears that PHP can support the PUT method using php://stdin and appropriately configuring the webserver to accept it. My company needs a file upload solution that will support large file uploads (2GB limit is optional - if we have to tell them less than 2GB that's fine) that will keep re-trying the upload until it is done. We have slow geo users and then just flat out large files to deal with even from fast connections. There's a variety of Java-based PUT uploaders. So far, we haven't found any Flash ones (we'd love to NOT use Java) - but there is a way to do it apparently, we just can't find anyone who's done it yet. I'm assuming that we should keep the connection open as long as there is some activity and maybe timeout after a minute or two... the client-side applet should have the logic to continue retrying and since it is PUT, the PHP script will accept the data and use fseek() on the file to resume at the offset supplied (the client will have to give us that info) See the examples here: http://www.radinks.com/upload/examples/ - look at the Handlers that support resume section. Anyone have any thoughts? I think I need to tweak PHP settings too possibly as well, for max execution time and such. But also any uploader ideas would be great. The reason for using this is FTP/SFTP require logins or some sort of pick up process or two step process to first upload the file then have the user associate it (or a cronjob somehow associate and move it) to it's final destination. HTTP isn't the best for file uploads but it appears PUT does support resuming, and we just want the cleanest possible frontend to it. Java stuff is slow, Flash would be better, but it appears Flash only supports basic POST/GET and you have to use a third party library (and possibly the latest Flex?) to be able to support other HTTP methods. If anyone has any products or knows of any projects, open source solutions would be best but money is not an object basically so we'd be open to commercial ones as well. We want the least amount of work for the end-user, so no thick clients and hopefully the most compact [cross-platform] browser applet as well.

Does this look right? Obviously you still want to know about production errors, so I'd like to log them. Development I want to see -everything- and I want it to display on the page. The assumption is production won't have any notices as the code should be clean and our higher priority are fixing errors. But that one is easily editable if needed :) Production: display_errors = Off display_startup_errors = Off error_reporting = E_ALL ~E_NOTICE expose_php = Off log_errors = On error_log = syslog Dev: display_errors = On display_startup_errors = On error_reporting = E_ALL expose_php = On log_errors = On error_log = syslog Am I missing any? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Why PHP4?
I started using superglobals since 4.x; not even thinking about it from a security angle per se, but because it just makes sense to know the source of where your input data is coming from. I guess technically security is a byproduct of that thinking too. On Jul 29, 2008, at 7:31 PM, VamVan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Its because PHP got really famous with version 4.0 and many people actually converted their CGI or other websites in to PHP 4 websites because it was easy and cheap. But 5.0 brought too many changes like serious OOPS and register global concepts for security, which is useful but made transition difficult. I feel thats why PHP 4 is still supported. Its not only the language that has changed, but also people had to upgrade their skill set and there was some learning curve involved. Unfortunately everyone fell in the trap of register globals which was not dealt until php 4.3.1 as a security concept. Pear and Pecl were there but everyone was pretty much writing all the code (reinventing the wheel) from scratch. This brings in huge code base to change. I liked PHP because intitially it was a procedural langauge and it resembled C. But now with OOPS you can build powerful websites which is good. There are many other cases but I feel strongly this is what makes them still support PHP 4.

[PHP] Looking for a reasonable explanation as to why $_REQUEST exists
I have never had a use for this feature. To me it introduces another
register_globals style atttack vector. I see no need why people need
to combine post/get/etc variables into the same superglobal. I
actually run unset($_REQUEST) on it at the top of my library to
discourage its use.
For third party products which use it I tell people to combine it
themselves by using array_merge() - like $_REQUEST =
array_merge($_POST, $_GET) etc...
Anyway can someone here please give me a good reasoning why it should
exist? It isn't as easily abused as register_globals but when people
have a session variable they want to access and use $_REQUEST for it I
could easily override it by using a GET param on the url (depending on
how the order of globals get processed)
Simply put, I see no reason why people would not want to clearly
define where they are getting their input from. If for some reason
there is some need to lazily code something I would still say to do
something like:
if(isset($_GET['foo'])) {
$foo = $_GET['foo'];
} elseif(isset($_POST['foo'])) {
$foo = $_POST['foo'];
} else {
$foo = 'default value';
}
... or just do the array merge.
But please someone maybe can justify this to me... I've been using
superglobals before I really understood how important they were and
then one day I see they introduced $_REQUEST and thought .. okay that
seems stupid. I finally am deciding to see if anyone can give me a
reason as to why this is useful and not just a lazy coding practice
that can lead to security risks.
You don't really know if your data is coming from GET, from POST, a
SESSION variable, etc...
I'd love to see a good discussion going on this. I might have
overlooked something important.

I don't see why if you -know- you need $_COOKIE['username'] someone would be lazy and use $_REQUEST['username'] It winds up allowing the end user to override information themselves (again, depending on the variables order) which depending on that and how poor the code is (which to me if you're relying on $_REQUEST you've probably got some bugs and exploitable holes in there) creates a security risk. and session vars are in $_REQUEST, I tried it to sanity check myself before posting this :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

plenty of various pagination methods, multi-page forms, etc, etc.
For example:
# 1 - filter it, and typecast it to int
$page = $page = intval(filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'page',
FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT));
# 2 - sanity check. a page number cannot be negative and it cannot be
greater than the number of pages (which can be determined by a db
query, or hardcoded somewhere else)
if($page 0 || $page $maxpages) {
$page = 1;
}
In the end $page should be trusted as it won't have any foreign data -
it has been intval()'ed and there is a default value put in - $page =
1, and there is a bounds check to ensure it's valid info.
For a better user experience, instead of setting $page = 1, I would
probably use a header(Location: foo.php?page=1); exit(); so the
user's URL in the address bar properly matches up with the page. But
you get the idea.

[PHP] Problem with output_buffering directive in cli
I am using Smarty templates to format HTML emails from the command line (using cli). My typical command is: php filename.php However, and I am struggling with templates that are greater than 10k. It looks like the Smarty output is getting truncated at about 10k. Smarty uses output_buffering, so I need to be set the output_buffering directive to 1 or On or 100, or something other than Off. But I have not been able to do that. I have changed the output_buffering setting in /.../cli/php.ini (as well as /.../apache2/php.ini /.../cgi/php.ini for good measure). And that does seem to have an effect. Here is what the output from phpinfo() is from the command line: Directive = Local Value = Master Value snip... output_buffering = 0 = 100 output_handler = no value = no value ...snip... So in other words, when I change the value in my /.../cli/php.ini, the Master Value changes. However, the Local Value stays at 0. In my code, I am testing for the value of output_buffering (using ini_get(output buffering)), and its value is always 0 (same as the Local Value that is output from the phpinfo(). So my question is...how do I turn on output_buffering correctly from the command line? Am I configuring the /.../cli/php.ini file correctly? Is something in my code (maybe an included library) maybe setting that value without me knowing? Am I looking in the wrong place / headed in the wrong direction?

True, you can access an input named myInput in a form named myForm

Hello all,
I am just trying to see if I can connect up with my internal FTP server from
our website. The server is accessible from the outside world, as we can log
in using a client, etc. I am not really sure how to troubleshoot this, but
below is the script that I have. I found it on the net (and can't remember
where), and changed it a bit for my needs. It would appear that the call to
'ftp_connect' is where it fails. I tried this with both a URL as well as the
actual IP address, both error at the same place with the same error. Is
there a way to get an actual error message that is a bit more explanatory as
to what is happening?
?php
$ftp_server = FTP.URL;
$ftp_user = USER;
$ftp_pass = PASSWORD;
echo Trying to connect with $ftp_server using $ftp_user, $ftp_pass;
// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die(Couldn't connect to
$ftp_server);
if ($conn_id) {
echo Logging in as $ftp_user, $ftp_pass.;
$login = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);
// try to login
if ($login) {
echo Connected as [EMAIL PROTECTED];
} else {
echo Couldn't connect as $ftp_user\n;
}

Re: [PHP] tracking Mials Which were bounced.
Seems like the general way is to create a mailbox (POP3 or IMAP) to accept the bounces, then check it periodically and mark the emails as invalid in your local database. I would set threshholds so you don't mark something failed that only bounced once - it could have been a mail setup error or something else; I'd say wait for 3 failures in a 7 day period at least. If you get 3 bounces by that point, the address is probably safely dead. You can use PHP's IMAP functions to check the mailbox (even for POP3) or a million classes or your own functions directly on the socket (POP3 is a simple protocol) - it also helps if you parse the bounced email message to process the return address and the mail code; perhaps build something better than just 3 failures = invalid, but actually determine if they're full out failures, or if they're just temporary bounces, etc. Another method: you could just parse mail logs, if you have access to them.

(I haven't set up the Mac as a server) - or - Linux (Ubuntu) with Apache (I am moving this direction and haven't yet learned how to run Apache) Ken -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] the most amazing php code i have ever seen so far
i'm confident, there just isn't much use to the barrage of snippets and customized stuff. i am in the middle of some useful, generic code, we're using it where i work, but it isn't in any sort of distributable fashion at the moment. it almost mirrors the idea of the zend framework, but in a procedural fashion.

Re: [PHP] Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ...
this also should not be an issue if you have output buffering turned on. PHP is great, it will make sure to send the headers *first* then. but yes, whitespace sucks as well. it makes IE's CSS flake out weird sometimes. there's multiple reasons to write clean code :) On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 11:33 AM, Waynn Lue [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I fixed this last time by looking for white space both before and after the opening and closing php tags, as a Google search had revealed. But this time, I've spent an hour running down various files and not seeing what the heck is wrong.
