[PHP] Handling DELETE requests
Under Apache 1.3, how can I respond to DELETE request with a PHP script? I have no problem with GET, POST, or PUT. The only thing I found was the "Scripts" directive, but that requires a specic script to be named. I am looking for something more generic, possibly where I can just say that php scripts can accept DELETE requests. Any suggestions? --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Handling DELETE requests
Well, it turns out that the problem wasn't Apache after all. For the record, Apache does pass the DELETE request on to the script by default. The problem was with the client program I was using to test it out. Appearently, the client is sending a mal-formed request that's causing the server to close the connection. I have now switched to a php-based HTTP client that I wrote and I am getting back exactly what I'm expecting. --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Seairth Jacobs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > "Curt Zirzow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > * Thus wrote Seairth Jacobs ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > > > Under Apache 1.3, how can I respond to DELETE request with a PHP script? > I > > > have no problem with GET, POST, or PUT.

And you program can act accordingly. Well, the argument could be made for PUT as well. Should the server PUT a new copy of the PHP file, or pass the PUT on to the PHP file for processing? Currently, the default behaviour is to pass the request on to the script, which is what I would expect and what I want for DELETE as well.

In general, this is not a good design. GETs are not supposed to cause side-effects. Use of POST to a given URI's container URI would be a better alternative. Still, it's a shame that all the HTTP verbs are not better supported, as more applications are beginning to use them (finally). It's just that most people think the only HTTP client is the Web browser, which is not true anymore.

[PHP] fread() question
I have an open socket that I am reading from. The code looks like the
following:
$contentLength = 0 + $this->response['headers']['content-length'];
do{
$status = socket_get_status($this->socket);
if( $status['eof'] == 1 ) {
if( $this->clientOptions['debug'] & DBGSOCK ) echo("DBG.SOCK status
eof met, finished socket_read\n");
break;
}
if($status['unread_bytes'] > 0) {
if($contentLength > $status['unread_bytes']) {
echo("DBG.SOCK reading {$status['unread_bytes']} bytes...\n");
$buffer = @fread($this->socket, $status['unread_bytes']);
$contentLength = $contentLength - $status['unread_bytes'];
} else {
$buffer = @fread($this->socket, $contentLength);
$contentLength = 0;
}
} else {
if( $this->clientOptions['debug'] & DBGSOCK ) echo("DBG.SOCK reading
{$status['unread_bytes']} bytes...\n");
usleep(1);
continue;
}
$data .= $buffer;
} while($contentLength > 0);
Now, the above code hangs (infinite loop, actually), ultimately returning
something like:
DBG.SOCK reading 3993 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 0 bytes...
etc...
On the other hand, if I change the following lines:
$buffer = @fread($this->socket, $status['unread_bytes'] - 1);
$contentLength = $contentLength - $status['unread_bytes'] - 1;
Then I get something that looks like:
DBG.SOCK reading 3993 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
DBG.SOCK reading 1 bytes...
etc...
until the entire response has been read (88771 bytes in this case). Also,
this would mean that the effective fread would be:
$buffer = @fread($this->socket, 0);
However, if I just do:
$data = @fread($this->socket, $contentLength);
it works as expected. So what's going on?
For now, I will use the single command in place of the loop, but I really
wanted to monitor the current unread bytes. Any thoughts appreciated.

When I run the code without setting a charset (defaulting to UTF-8), I get
back the following:
a=??
b=ody>
When I run the code setting the charset to windows-1251, I get:
a=????µ????° ??°
b=???
I'm guessing you want "a" from the first one and "b" from the second one.
In which case, you are correct. Two different character encodings are being
URL encoded. You could convert the first string using:
convert_cyr_string(mb_convert_encoding(urldecode($a), 'ISO-8859-5',
'UTF-8'), 'i', 'w')

[PHP] asynchronous processing?
I want to POST data to a server and get back an immediate response. Independently, I want the action to cause the server to submit its own POST request to another server. I do not want the original POST to block while waiting for the second POST to complete. I recently read an article [1] that said that register_shutdown_function was not capable of doing this (it causes the original request to block) and that a new function called apache_register_shutdown_function would allow this. Unfortunately, I don't see my host upgrading to 4.3.1 anytime soon (assuming that the function is even in that version). So are there any alternative methods? --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] [1] http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.register-shutdown-function.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Re: :( This fact ruins my understanding of php :( please explain!
I have a couple thoughts...
1) In some other languages, passing an array by value only passes the first
element value, not the whole array. This may be happening here, which would
explay the fast execution times. I don't know this for sure, but it could
easily be tested by seeing what's in $a inside the function f().
2) Try returning the array by reference...
function &f(&$a){return $a;}
for ($i=0; $i < 100; $i++){$a = & f($big);}

took ~3.75093 seconds, which is 3262 times SLOWER !!! I also found out,
that while using refernces, the time of job's run strictly depends on the
$big array dimension, and while NOT using references, the time doesn't
depend on that, but I thought just on the contrary. I thought, that while
using references, we dont copy the data and therefore do not depend on that
data amount, but the example above shows just the opposite results...

My understanding is that PHP does not currently work well with Apache2, though this may be a platform specific problem. I couldn't even get Apache 2 to load it (under Win2K). I have seen mentions that PHP 4.3 is supposed to improve this situation, though I don't actually know if it's true or not. In the meantime, I have seen the following advice: 1) Run Apache in pre-fork mode (which makes it act like Apache 1). 2) Use the CGI version of PHP (but as you note, there are some limitations there).

Re: [PHP] Passing variables between servers
MD5 is a one-way hash. There is no way to get information back out of it. If he keeps a copy of the hash locally to comare instead of the original password, this is still as vulnerable as using the original password in this case.

What you can and can't do with phpMyAdmin may depend on your host. phpMyAdmin itself does have the ability to create databases. However, that ability is determined by the access rights of the user you access the MySQL server with. If your host controls the creation of that user, they may puposely restrict your access rights to dissallow the creation of additional databases. I had this very problem with an old host of mine. I was given one database and that was it. I could not create any more. Now, my current host (www.webprosinc.net) works a bit different. It is using Plesk, which takes over the responsibility of creating databases and users. The users that it creates do not have the ability to create additional databases, though just about all other access rights are granted (at the database level). This gives the Plesk software absolute control over the MySQL server while still allowing me to create new databases. So, I would make sure your host allows you to create additional databases before you try to get phpMyAdmin to do it. If this is an important feature and your current host does not allow it, there are several other hosts (mine included) that do give that access (usually with some restrictions, of course). --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Steve Jackson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I am new to MySQL and PHP. > Having looked at PHPMyAdmin the GUI I was wondering if it's possible to > create a new database within the system? > If so what are the commands?

[PHP] Re: suggestions for a good php+mysql isp?
www.webprosinc.net has several plans, starting as little as $4.95 (1 MySQL database/1 domain/125 MB space/2GB transfer) to $49.95 (unlimited databases/100 domains/1GB space/16GB transfer). They are currently using PHP 4.1.0 and seem to regularly updated their system (they use Plesk for maintenance). As with any host, there are some limitations to what you can and cannot do. Oh. And very, very important: they have *always* gotten back to me within a few hours of any support call I have made. This is a vast difference from some prior hosts that I was lucky to hear from within 24 hours of a support call. Good luck in your search. :) --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Or Not Db Db" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I have searched the archives and the last time this was seriously discussed > was september of last year...unless I have a giant gaping hole in my > archive! :) I was considering northwesthost.com and would like some > opinions on them or anybody you are happy with The list of isp's on php.net > doesn't mean much to me without some current comments about their > performance. > I need php and mysql support for my site - I'm moving the domain name and > site from myhosting.com (they're ASP and perl2exe'd scripts only).

[PHP] Re: Apache 2.0.40 and php as module
I have had the same problem under Win2K. My understanding is that PHP does not yet work well (at all, in this case) with Apache2. Instead, install Apache 1.3. The console window is a bit annoying (would have liked to run it as a service), but it does work. :) --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] "George E.

[PHP] Re: frames and variables
Yes, Javascript is the most common way of doing this. The alternative is to submit the variable back to the main PHP document (whatever created the Frames in the first place) and regenerate the entire screen (frameset and all). The script can then pass the variables on in the tags. It ain't pretty, but no Javascript is required. As you may be starting to guess, this is why many people have quit using Frames. At first, they seem like a great idea. But the more you use them, the more difficult you find them to be. In the end, many people would rather give up the advantages of Frames in return for the increased simplicity of generating the pages. --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 01c24415$8155a1b0$86a96518@jumpy">news:01c24415$8155a1b0$86a96518@jumpy... > Has anyone here designed php sites that use a combination of php pages > and html pages? > > What I want to know is how to pass a variable from nav_frame.php (at the > top) to itself, AND to the data.php frame (lower frame, main body) > > I can pass variables to itself, (with the "?page_name=content.htm" > thingie attached to links, but I don't know how to make this accessible > to both frames at the same time. > Help appreciated, yes, I'm asking a lot of questions since this is a > project for college and my due data is in 2 ... ooops 1 DAY!

[PHP] URL path question
I would like to be able to do the following: www.sample.com/path/file.php/additional/path/ Unfortunately on IIS, this gives an error. Interestingly, the following does not: www.sample.com/path/file.php/ I need to have a single PHP script be responsible for a series of resources, but I do not want to use a query string (for various reasons) to identify those resources. So, how can I do this? Is this an IIS-specific problem or does PHP just not allow this? TIA. --- Seairth Jacobs [EMAIL PROTECTED] p.s. Sorry if you see a cross-post on php.version4. I got a warning that said it was a read-only list, so I am reposting to this list as well (which is probably the correct list to post to in the first place. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
