Re: [PHP] php converts \ to \\, how can I stop that
You could also set these values in your php.ini:
magic_quotes_gpc = off
magic_quotes_runtime = off
If you do this, then remember when inserting the data into a mysql
database, it still needs to be escaped:
$sql = sprintf(
insert into table (id, field) values ('', '%s'),
mysql_escape_string($fieldvalue)
);

[PHP] Re: Newbie - still working on my first script.
Seems to me that space in the file copy is what's causing problems. Try
changing ads/ $File_name to ads/${File_Name}.
Just a note that doing things that way can cause big problems,
especially on unix systems.. imagine if you went to your website and type:
http://site/index.php?File=%2Fetc%2FpasswdFile_name=hacked.txt
Also instead of copying then unlinking the file, you can avoid the above
problem by using move_uploaded_file().
See the documentation for this command here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php

Re: [PHP] phpMyAdmin
I've always found it's good to set numeric primary keys to UNSIGNED. Gives you a larger range, and it's not very likely those numbers are ever going to be negative. Also, there is absolutely no need to check Index or Unique when you have selected Primary, as Primary implies both (hence why in newer versions, Primary/Index/Unique are radio buttons). Lastly, unless you expect to have a rediculous amount of records, an INT is more that sufficient (giving you a maximum record count of 4,294,967,295). Also, PHP's mysql_insert_id() doesn't support BIGINT data types. So, the more optimised version of the keyfield would be: Field: keynum Type: INT Length/Values: (blank) Attributes: UNSIGNED Null: NOT NULL Default: (blank) Extra: AUTO_INCREMENT Primary: SELECTED Index: UN-SELECTED Unique: UN-SELECTED Mike Kevin Stone wrote: Could be something like.. Field: keynum Type: BIGINT Length/Values: (blank) Attributes: (blank) Null: NOT NULL Default: (blank) Extra: AUTO_INCREMENT Primary: CHECKED Index: CHECKED Unique: CHECKED Field: username Type: VARCHAR Length/Values: 20 Attributes: (blank) Null: NOT NULL Default: (blank) Extra: (blank) Primary: UNCHECKED Index: UNCHECKED Unique: UNCHECKED Field: password Type: VARCHAR Length/Values: 20 Attributes: (blank) Null: NOT NULL Default: (blank) Extra: (blank) Primary: UNCHECKED Index: UNCHECKED Unique: UNCHECKED Note I prefer to use VARCHAR instead of PASSWORD becuase I am more comfortable checking the database contents in PHP rather than SQL. But you can do a PASSWORD field then in your query statment use the SQL funciton PASSWORD($pwd) to encrypt the string. Either way, for security, it is imparative that you encrypt it. The field 'keynum' is just a standard thing that I do. It's set up to auto_increment so you always have a unique key to delete and update records on.

'sess_open', 'sess_close', 'sess_read', 'sess_write',
'sess_destroy', 'sess_gc'
);
session_start();
// php code for page goes here
-- EOF --
Doing things that way, everything seems to work.. sorta.. one major
exception, though:
function redirect_page($url){
session_write_close();
header(Location: ${url});
exit();
}
session_write_close() does not call my sess_write() routine. Instead it
seems to be using PHP's default files method every time.
Because of this, I am forced to call my lower-level routine directly:
sess_write(session_id(), serialize($_SESSION));
This works as a work-a-round, but I would much rather use PHP's
pre-defined session_write_close(). Is this a bug or am I doing something
wrong?

[PHP] Re: PHP with MySQL
Typically it's done like:
$db = mysql_connect('localhost','username','password');
The MySQL database detects what host you're connecting from, and appends
that to your username. I'm not sure if it's possible to specify an
alternate host.
So if both PHP and MySQL are on the same machine, and you connect to the
MySQL server as 'username', MySQL will see you as 'username@localhost'.

It's really quite simple. Here's a quick script that will dump all
variables sent in a form to an email address:
$email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$subject = 'Form Posted on ' . date('r');
$from = 'Your Website [EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$message = '';
// PHP up to 4.0.6
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key = $value) {
$message .= $key: $value\n;
}
// PHP 4.1.0+
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key = $value) {
$message .= $key: $value\n;
}
mail($email, $subject, $message, From: $from);

It needs to run as a CGI script.

$year = substr($timestamp, 0, 4);
$month = substr($timestamp, 4, 2);
$day = substr($timestamp, 6, 2);

$date_posted[$i] = strftime(%A, %d-%m-%Y %R, $date_posted[$i]);
This always returns Tuesday, 19-01-2038 but the mysql timestamp says:
20020305211704
They return the time in different formats. Read the MySQL manual then read
the PHP manual (or vice-versa).
The MySQL timestamp is human readable. So in your example above:
20020305211704 == 2002-03-05 21:17:04
time() in PHP is the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch.

[PHP] Reading config files
Hiya,
Just looking for some tips on reading formatted config files. The config
file is pretty strictly formatted.. here's an example:
# this is a comment. any text on a line after a # should be ignored
section section1 {
option value;
option-array {
value 1;
1234; # numerical value
anothervalue; # text without quotes
};
option-array-on-one-line { value1; value 2; 46; };
};
That's kind of a worst-case scenario. Most sections will only have 1-2
options, and not contain subsections, etc.. but some do contain it, so
is why I constructed this. I'm not looking for actual code, exactly..
more or less tips on where to start. Should I come up with a magical
regexp that can sift through the data, or some kind of recursive
function that reads values and returns arrays with the values..
Values are always terminated by a ; character, unless of course that ;
character lies within quotes. Pretty standard stuff, but it's my first
attempt at parsing something this complex.
Any kind of help on this is appreciated.
Mike

Let's say you have this table, pseudo-coded:

You could run this query on it:
insert into table values ('','value');
And the id will be auto generated. Same would apply with:

you are working on an existing project, and you have the implied need to

other when posting the information.

$dates = mysql_db_query($bb_news_db, $query) or die(Select Failed!);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($dates)) {

So that each log entry would be put in the $date[] array, and then when the
calendar script wanted to find out if there was an entry by that user on
that particular day, it would just have to check the $date[] array.Will
there be any speed difference between this and my current (file_exists();)

PHP doesn't support that.
Dunno if it plans to, either.
There are workarounds.. can't remember exactly how it's done, but I

[PHP] Limiting CPU usage/time of spawned processes
Hi There, Okay, I have a server that allows a couple hundred virtual hosts that we have run websites as we are a hosting company. Recently one of our customers decided to spawn lynx through PHP. The process was running at 80% cpu for over 400 minutes, and it appears that Apache's RLimitCPU directive had no effect on this. Is there any directives in PHP which can perform the same feat (i.e. killing a process for running for too long, or limiting it's CPU usage).

[PHP] Re: PHP vs. ASP
Well being a former ASP programmer and a current PHP programmer I think I can help you there. The key point is ease of use. PHP provides far more functionality than ASP (try finding a function to print out the date in ASP.. yeah, I thought so), while at the same time giving you access to low-level areas of the language so that you can really make it do whatever you want. Oh yeah, and it's OpenSource. Make it do what you want, and if that doesn't suit your fancy, then change it :) ASP costs -- the server (be it Windows or Unix-based) is gonna cost ya, any extensions to do more advanced things (such as creating images on the fly) is gonna cost ya.. cost cost cost. With ASP I was constantly running into roadblocks because of the way it works. Let's take form submission.. or beyond that.. uploading FILES. You can do it the long, hard way (write your own MIME handler and parse the incoming binary data), or the easy way (shell out $$$ to pay for a professional activex com object to do the job for you). And if that wasn't enough. ASP is just plain slower. Well, that's my 2 cents. There's plenty of more points that could be said, but I think this should give you some good arguments to start with.

I've seen bookmarks that pop up a javascript input window and then
use the input in the resulting URL. So, take the manual query via

[PHP] Re: PHP 4.1.0 patch for Quanta IDE, The Sequel
Cool, however PHP is not case sensitive, nor is ASP or HTML for that matter, therefore case sensitive syntax highlighting will not be good for these languages. Mike J Smith wrote: I sumbitted a similar patch to the Quanta team about a week ago. It may appear in an upcoming release, possibly Quanta 3, which will come with KDE 3.0. A few other additions I made: - highlighting is now case-insensitive for everything. I believe older versions were case-sensitive for keywords, like function, class, etc. - support for ASP-style opening and closing tags (% and % instead of ?php, ?, etc.) I'm also working on porting a newer editor from Kate/ktexteditor into Quanta. It's been slow going, but things have picked up (it compiles and runs now, albeit with a bunch of segfaults). This will make adding syntax highlighting instructions much easier, as the latest versions of Kate allow you to define highlighting rules in XML files, and the highlighting instructions are set up at run-time rather than compile time.

Variable names are the *only* exception.
So yes, $var != $Var;
And variable names are not syntax highlighted specifically (other than
the fact that variables are highlighted). So by case-sensitizing keyword
and function references, that is making a lot of scripts *not* syntax
highlight properly, because only people who use FALSE will be

I sumbitted a similar patch to the Quanta team about a week ago. It may
appear in an upcoming release, possibly Quanta 3, which will come with KDE
3.0.
A few other additions I made:
- highlighting is now case-insensitive for everything. I believe older
versions were case-sensitive for keywords, like function, class, etc.
- support for ASP-style opening and closing tags (% and % instead of
?php, ?, etc.)
I'm also working on porting a newer editor from Kate/ktexteditor into
Quanta. It's been slow going, but things have picked up (it compiles and
runs now, albeit with a bunch of segfaults). This will make adding syntax
highlighting instructions much easier, as the latest versions of Kate allow
you to define highlighting rules in XML files, and the highlighting
instructions are set up at run-time rather than compile time.
Maybe over the XMas break I'll be able to finish it up.

That will patch your source tree.. then just configure, make, install.

[PHP] Re: Slash problem
This is done because magic_quotes_gpc is turned on. This makes it
possible to just insert submitted data into a MySQL database, without
preparing it first.
You can turn it off if you have access to the server config, or.. you
can do this:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key = $value) {
// if you're into globals
$$key = stripslashes($value);
// otherwise -- not sure if this'll work or not
// if $HTTP_POST_VARS is read-only then it won't.
$HTTP_POST_VARS[$key] = stripslashes($value);
}
}
At the beginning of your scripts. If you do that, don't forget to *not*
use global values.

Re: [PHP] Working with designers...
They sound like good ideas, with one quisp.. the sites are currently being designed in *shudder* Dreamweaver. They absolutely refuse to chop files up into header/footer includes, and they want to be able to do all their colour customisation through their beloved .css files. Mike Jimtronic wrote: I try to seperate the php code from the html as much as possible. So, if a page is dynamic, have php figure out the dynamic parts first, put them into variables such as $html, or $pull_down_menu, or whatever. Then all that needs to replaced in the html is that section. HTML coders aren't dumb, so they can be trusted with a simple ?= $html ? placement. Additionally, I try to seperate php logic from php presentation as much as possible. This means creating as many variables as possible that affect how things look and then including a conf.php file that the coders can also change pretty easily with good documentation. Moving even further in this direction, my logic code calls many presentation functions which I find HTML coders can also decipher rather well. You can put these in another include file so your designers don't ever have to touch any of your precious logic. Then ... if you have time ... you can make an admin screen to change, edit, and preview the finished product.

$curletter = strtolower(substr($data['name'],0,1));

Re: [PHP] Performance
The problem with that is giving feedback to the user. If you're busy
generating a string to display to the user and the mysql server is
running slow, or for whatever reason, the user is looking at a blank
page until the process is completed entirely, then they have all the
data dumped on them at once.
For someone on a modem, this is a bad thing, because first they're
waiting for the page to be created, then they're waiting for the data to
download.
I've always been taught by people who have been working in this industry
for years (even back in my ASP days) that it's always best to send data
to the user's browser as soon as possible.

Sani Abacha, the government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various Ministries. The NEW CIVILIAN Government set up a Contract Review Panel (C.R.P) and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N). However, due to our position as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose ACCOUNT the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one Million United States Dollars) WILL BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER. Hence we are writing you this letter. We have agreed to share the money thus: 70% for us (the officials) 20% for the FOREIGN PARTNER (you) 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. It is from this 70% that we wish to commence the importation business. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope that the funds arrive your account in latest ten (10) banking days from the date of reciept of the following information by email: A suitable name and bank account into which the funds can be paid.

$fp = fopen('/var/mail/myaccount','w');
fwrite($fp,'');
fclose($fp);
that could work. I was going to suggest doing:
unlink('/var/mail/myaccount');
touch('/var/mail/myaccount');
But I assume that since you're against deleting it, then there must be
some sort of permissions in place that you don't want changed.

Hopefully when you buy the suite you get access to updated versions of the software that are compatible with 4.1.0, otherwise, it's going to suck for us, since we use some of the new features in 4.1.0 in the app we're writing. It would seem like a waste of money in our case, as we're dropping 4.0.6, and that's all the Developer Suite we have covers at the moment. We used to use 4.0.6 on an older version of this thing we're developing, but there were enough nicities in 4.1.0 that I decided to start using the dev versions and RCs for 4.0.7/4.1.0, just so we'd be up-to-date when 4.1.0 actually came out.
