He hasn't replied yet, and i was also confused, but in his first post he said this: ls /usr/local/lib/pdflib.* /usr/local/lib/pdflib.h Of course, moving them is the best way, however, sometimes it gives problems with other things, so i guess creating a symlink here would be better Tijnema -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hello,
I'm trying to include a shared object file with the function dl(). But I
always get:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library

object file: No such file or directory in /homepages/xyz/test.php on line 5
But it is definetely there and readable (also executable)!
I tried to include('/homepages/xyz/util.so') which gives same parsing
errors since this is not php-code, but including works, so it's actually
readable.
What is the real error behind it? How can I find out why dynamic loading
fails? Is it possibly due to different glibc versions?

Marten
Yes, a different glibc version could be the problem.
try ldd /homepages/xyz/util.so

That's disgusting... now what happens if you want to change the text to

you have to change all the HTML where you used class=grey which puts
you squarely back into the realm of why the font tag was deprecated.

exhibits color AND have as many colors as you want -- it's a simperer

If you live in one of these, you can always record your own in-state calls either openly or surreptitiously, since only one participant's consent is needed. Likewise, you can get someone else to record them for you. In interstate calls, it's important to check this state-by-state summary, because in interstate calls, both states' laws apply, and you need to apply the most stringent applicable law. For example, if you live in California or are even just speaking to someone in California (an all-party-consent law state), you must get the other party's permission to record the call, or risk having to pony up $5000 in statutory damages (or three times the actual damages, whichever is greater). In general, announcing your intent to record and letting the other party hang up if they don't like it is sufficient in all states: continued participation implies consent. The all-party-consent law states are: California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington. In Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Missisippi, and New Mexico as well, a participant may record but a non-participant may not, even with consent. In Vermont the law is unsettled.

Hi all. I have built an online events directory in php (
http://dontjustsitthere.co.uk) where people can find local events and also
post their events. The app is composed of a single page, index.php, that
generates different content depending on the parameters passed to it and
uses sessions for persistence.
I have had nothing but pain with IE6 with this, I don't use any third-party
cookies and one issue was resolved by using this line at the top of the
page:
ini_set('session.name', 'couchy');
session_start();
Why do you have cookies in your title, and you're using sessions?
These are different things...
To post an event, the first form processes the category and postcode of the
event plus a captcha field. The fields are validated and cleaned and then
passed into $_SESSION.
On the next stage I perform a cookie check, and if there are issues warn the
user. This has been happening to every IE6 user, they can't get past the
first page - so that means that $_SESSION['category'] and
$_SESSION['postcode'] are not being populated.
Maybe some code could help us determine the real problem, with this
text description, there could be 100+ different codes that could fit,
and maybe some work with IE6, and some don't.
I thought I had this nailed but it's rearing it's butt-ugly head again.
Anyone aware of the probable cause of this?
IE6 is full of sh*t, I had a lot of trouble with it lately too, seems
that it doesn't handle all RFC/W3C standards
But as i said before, we can't do anything without your code :)

the fileinfo functions:

Re: [PHP] What determines the relative directory, and can I control it?
On 4/24/07, Dave M G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: PHP Users, I am developing a content management system, and one of the goals is to separate out the design entirely from the PHP scripting and content. All the PHP scripts which contain the logic that drives the site are all in the web site's root directory, where the main index.php is located. The site uses an .htaccess file that creates user friendly URLs, so basically every time a user does anything on the site, it goes through /index.php. The intention is for the designer of the site to only have access to a subdirectory of the site called layout. If the designer wants, he or she can have multiple styles, which would each be in their own subdirectories. So, for example, there might be a /layout/styleOne directory, and a /layout/styleTwo directory. The way a designer builds a style is with a file called layout.php. This file contains blocks of HTML code that the designer can manipulate in order to customize the layout of the site. For example, that file would be located at /layout/styleOne/layout.php. Right now, if the designer of the site wants to make a call to an external CSS style sheet within layout.php, the designer has to write in the whole path, relative to the index.php file. For example: style type=text/css @import /layout/styleOne/style.css; /style But I'd like to make it so that the designer doesn't need to ever think about paths, and can state the path to the CSS file relative to layout.php, and not relative to index.php. Like so: style type=text/css @import style.css; /style What happens is that index.php includes a file called include.php. That file in turn includes all the PHP scripts on the site. That file includes another file called Page.php which has a way of including layout.php depending on what style the page needs. For example, styleOne or styleTwo. That's a long linear string of includes, but bottom line is, if I'm correct, that the index.php ultimately includes layout.php, and layout.php therefor acts as if it were in the same directory as index.php. I hope I have described the situation adequately. My question is, as implied above: Can I somehow manipulate any of the PHP scripts involved so that the HTML within layout.php will look first in it's own directory for inclusion of files, such as CSS and javascript and anything else? Thank you for your time and assistance. -- Dave M G Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic Pentium D Dual Core Processor This is a client side problem. After your whole PHP processing has been done, 1 final HTML page is executed. In that page you have set : style type=text/css @import style.css; /style Then the browser will create a NEW request, to get the style.css file. And he will request that file in the same directory the index.php file is in. So what you want is impossible, unless you're gonna create a silly browser ;) what you can do, and what i see a lot is that they let PHP open the CSS file, and display the CSS inline.

Yes... You store your root pwd in your script then:

?
$ su - -c arp
Password:
How you'll type your root pwd? =P
Something with the proc_* functions as you need bi-directional streams
(input/output). Something like this: (not tested, partly copied form
example 1926)
?php
$root_pwd=123456;
$descriptorspec = array(
0 = array(pipe, r), // stdin is a pipe that the child will read from
1 = array(pipe, w), // stdout is a pipe that the child will write to
2 = array(file, /tmp/error-output.txt, a) // stderr is a
file to write to
);
$process = proc_open('su - -c arp', $descriptorspec, $pipes);
if (is_resource($process)) {
fwrite($pipes[0], $root_pwd.\r\n);
fclose($pipes[0]);
echo stream_get_contents($pipes[1]);
fclose($pipes[1]);
proc_close($process);
}
?
If not, you can't do that.
And with a shell-script outputting the MAC to a .txt temp file, reading
it from the PHP script?
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! $# -eq 1 ]; then
echo Usage: $0 target_ip;
exit;
fi;
MAC_ADDR=`sudo arp | grep $1 | cut -d -f18`
echo ${MAC_ADDR} /your/html/pub/dir/mac_temp.txt
Where's the root password? I guess you need it too when using sudo?
?php
$mac=file(mac_temp.txt);
foreach($mac_addr as $mac){
echo $mac_addr;
}
?
Uhm, this is really weird code, i guess you meant this:
?php
$mac=file(mac_temp.txt);
foreach($mac as $mac_addr){
echo $mac_addr;
}
?
But well, when you have root access to the server, it might be better
to just cheat like i did, and make arp available to the PHP user :)

This has been covered before. The difference actually depends on how
you're using it, rather than whether you use print or echo. For example,
your benchmark shows echo to be slightly faster, but the the following
script that I wrote last time this came up shows the opposite. The only
difference is that you're outputting a literal whereas I'm printing a
variable.
http://dev.stut.net/phpspeed/
At the end of the day there are more important things to worry about,
especially when you're talking in the region of 0.009 seconds per
100,000 calls it's not going to make anywhere near a significant
difference to any script you write, even really really big ones scripts.
To put it another way, you would need to make 10,000,000 calls for it to
extend the runtime of your script by 1 second. Granted you might have a
script that calls it 1000 times, meaning 10,000 requests to that script
would waste 1 second. But unless you're getting twitter-like levels of

I've learned (not only from this) that whatever you do in PHP is fast,
and that you don't need to optimize your code for speed. Unless you're
hitting 100k+ hits per hour. But even then it would only save you
maybe one hour per year.

It's not a lot, but since we are displaying data a lot, (most used
function?) it will make a difference in really big scripts.
This has been covered before. The difference actually depends on how
you're using it, rather than whether you use print or echo. For example,
your benchmark shows echo to be slightly faster, but the the following
script that I wrote last time this came up shows the opposite. The only
difference is that you're outputting a literal whereas I'm printing a
variable.
http://dev.stut.net/phpspeed/
At the end of the day there are more important things to worry about,
especially when you're talking in the region of 0.009 seconds per
100,000 calls it's not going to make anywhere near a significant
difference to any script you write, even really really big ones scripts.
To put it another way, you would need to make 10,000,000 calls for it to
extend the runtime of your script by 1 second. Granted you might have a
script that calls it 1000 times, meaning 10,000 requests to that script
would waste 1 second. But unless you're getting twitter-like levels of
traffic (they spike at over 11k hits a second) it's not worth worrying
about, and I'm guessing (hoping) their devs probably wouldn't care
either.

I wouldn't go that far. It is definitely possible to write horribly
inefficient code with PHP. Believe me, I've inherited enough crap code
in my lifetime to testify to that.
My point was simply that you need to look at the numbers from benchmarks
in perspective, and when efficiency is concerned there's almost always
far bigger gains to be made than 0.009 seconds per 100,000 calls to
output something.
-Stut
But what else would you use a lot in your code?
all commonly used things (like while, if, echo, etc) are just (nearly)
as fast as their alternatives (for, print, etc).
Other functions (like file/stream) might be some performance
difference, but you probably use this only a few times in your script.
So there's not a bigger performance difference then when optimizing
echo/print.

Two files may have the same modification time.
You are storing only ONE file for any given timestamp.
You could do something like this:
foreach($files as $file){
$dirs[filemtime($file)][] = $file;
}
You will then have an ARRAY for each timestamp with all the files that
were modified at that time.
So you end up with a big useless array? How big is the chance that
there are 2 files modified at the same time? 0.1? or is it

No, not just another array (although I agree about the function being pretty useless!)
-- $GLOBALS is a superglobal array that contains a reference to every variable defined in the
global scope, so that accessing $GLOBALS['var'] from anywhere is the same as accessing $var in the
global scope. It's a way of referencing global variables without having to use a global

variables from one global variable to another :)

Heiko AFAIK, there's not a direct function for that. So, you have a few options, but depend on what you're going to do with it. Are you planning to parse a lot and large .flv files? If so, you should write some code that reads the FLV header. I didn't see someone else already doing, but you should be looking for Metadata in the FLV file, and it seems that the metadata isn't in all FLV files, so then you need to use such tools as FLV Metdata Injector, but i didn't find a linux alternative. If you're only doing a few .flv files, and quite small ones, you might want to convert the FLV files first to another format with ffmpeg. Then use some tools on that.

Re: [PHP] how to get var name and value from function?

hi,
this one I can't figure out:
I have to assign value of an array to variable named after key of the
array several times in my project to , e.g. after I submit a form with
personal info I have
$_POST['name'] = 'john doe';
$_POST['address'] = '123 main st.';
$_POST['city'] = 'urbandale';
$_POST['zip'] = '12345';
$_POST['phone'] = '123-456-7980';
etc.
Then I assign value to the var name:
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value)
{
${$key} = $value;
}
and then validate submitted.
Are you sure you want to do this? You never know what a hacker inserts
to your POST data, so he could easily define variables inside your
script, especially when you're using more dangerous functions like
system().
Though, to avoid writing all over again the same lines (even it's only 3
lines) I was thinking to create a function something like:
function value2var($array, $print=0)
{
foreach ($_POST as $key = $value)
I think you should change above line to :
foreach ($array as $key = $value)
{
${$key} = $value;
echo ($print ==1) ? $key.': '.$value.'br'; // to test
results and seeing array variables and values
}
}
value2var($_POST, 1);
but, I don't know how to get info from function back to script?!?!?
:-(
Uhm, it's not even possible when you don't know the keys i believe.

any help appreciated.

I don't particulary like ppl who use IE (ups did I upset someone?) ;D. Hmm, nearly I use IE, NOT because i like it, but because i hate the others more (On windows platform). However I started compressing my scripts and putting them inside one file. And the status is so far: * Query for the image object. * Query for copyright check in case of watermarking. If no watermarking skip to echo * Read the object. * put object in a file outside webroot like /tmp. * read both the watermark and object * merge * echo Is it possible to skip one query and still be able to read ownership from a table and at the same time stream the object, witch lead me to the next question, I can't seem to be able to make imageCreateFromJPEG handle the direct stream, nor that I fetch it in an array, is any of this possible? You should fetch the stream manually in a string, and then use imagecreatefromstring, http://www.php.net/imagecreatefromstring As of now I need two files to make this happen.

[2] = 2

[4] = 2

And i want to remove the 4, but i don't know 1 and 3. using array_flip
wouldn't work because of my multi-dimensional array. But what if i'm
using array_search? will it return 1 only? will it return 5?
Why in the world you'd architect the array with a value when you need
to unset by value in the first place is beyond me, though...
Sometimes you end up with such arrays, where you need to have
non-unique values first, so you store them in the value, and then you
need to remove some of the non-unique values. But it's a
multi-dimensional array...

Is there currently a function that removes a key/value from an array?
I use this code right now:
function array_remove($array,$remove,$remove_value = true)
{
foreach($array as $key = $value) {
if($remove_value $value != $remove) {
$new_array[$key] = $value;
} elseif (!$remove_value $key != $remove) {
$new_array[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $new_array;
}
array_remove(array(1=2,2=3),2,true); // array (2=3)
array_remove(array(1=2,2=3),2,false); // array (1=2)
Anyone knows if there already exists such function?
Else should i create future request?

That works when you know the key, but will that work when you only
know the value?

Oh well, now it makes sense ! :-) Actually, I see exactly what you are saying. If you take a small portion of a file and MD5 it, it will give you a signature. If I simply change a single pixel in the image and that pixel is NOT included in the small portion you use for your MD5, then the MD5 check will return the same signature as before the alteration. However, if your portion includes the pixel change, then the resultant MD5 will be different. That's the reason why you need to alter a significant portion of the image so that smaller portions will probably contain some alteration. Thanks for explaining that. tedd That just means that you should store about 10-20 MD5 summed parts, and then take the same 10-20 parts (and MD5 sum) and compare, and if a few (or maybe just 1) match, then you know it's same image :) Tijnema -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Cheers, tedd Not in this case, as it doesn't goes about decrypting the key here, that's impossible with MD5, you can only bruteforce. But that's totally not of interest, a cracker doesn't want to implement a MD5 bruteforcer in his bot that brute forces the MD5 key each time (which can take up to several years to complete on regular PCs).

Re: [PHP] DOM and XSLTProcessor

I am running PHP 5 and attempting to use DOM to create data to show on a webpage and using XSLTProcessor with an XSLT sheet to output it into XHTML. Everything is pretty fine an dandy until I wish to print raw text, such as xdebug and var_dump. My knowledge of DOM and XSLTProcessor is about a 5/10, such that I know most basics, but not the more advanced things. Whenever I try to add data using createTextNode, it is always escaped, such that if I do strongsomething/strong, when shown to the screen, it shows lt;stronggt; etc... Here is the general outline: ?php $doc=new DOMDocument(1.0); $root=$doc-createElement(root); $wantedCode=$doc-createTextNode(strongSomething/strong); $root-appendChild($wantedCode); $doc-appendChild($root); $proc=new XSLTProcessor; $proc-importStylesheet(DOMDocument::load(test.xslt)); echo $proc-transformToXML($doc); ? SomeSheet is something like: xsl:template match=/ xsl:value-of select=./ /xsl:template The expected output that I would like to get is: strongSomething/strong (This would just bold my text, not literally see the strong tags). The actual output is: lt;stronggt;Somethinglt;/stronggt; (This outputs the strong tags to the end user, which is what I do not want). I checked the manual at: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-createtextnode.php . A user comment suggested to use CDATA nodes, so I attempted to change my code to the following: ?php $doc=new DOMDocument(1.0); $root=$doc-createElement(root); //note the change right here $wantedCode=$doc-createCDATASection(strongSomething/strong); $root-appendChild($wantedCode); $doc-appendChild($root); $proc=new XSLTProcessor; $proc-importStylesheet(DOMDocument::load(test.xslt)); echo $proc-transformToXML($doc); ? But this was of no success; it just had the same output. Is there anyone that is able to help me out here?

(Of course, Flash will open door to other problems.) Sorry, coming in on this late. Good work Tedd! Very interesting. M: Tijnema showed how MD5 could be used to identify an image file and crack my arrow captcha. That's really what this thread was about. I finally came up with enough variations to make it impractical. However, this did make me wonder about the images that M$ and others are using for captchas -- like find the kitty in a set of pictures. The MD5 application could be used to identify as many pictures as any spammer would need. So, I think MD5 method, as described in this thread, would work very well to crack those type of captchas. I doubt Microsoft is using a static image repository for captchas. Cheers, Rob. I doubt that their image repository infinite. Plus, I envision a method where a bot could: 1. Scan the site, gather the images and key phrase. 2 MD5 the images. 3. Place all the MD5's with the associate key phrase in a dB. 4. Refresh and repeat. With repeated refreshes (not attempts at trying to enter), the key phrases associated with the MD5's will build and the bot will learn. It works like this -- the phrase find the kitty or key word kitty will always be associated with the picture of the kitty WHEN kitty is the solution. All other key phrases/words associated with the kitty picture will eventually stack out as just be background noise as data is gathered. As such, a bot could have a foundation at making an intelligent guess. Also, every guess (successful or not) provides even more data to be considered. The more data gathered, the better the guess. Hi Tedd, Put down the crack pipe please... captcha images are usually generated on the fly. Their image repository is 0. Their image universe is all of the permutations of an image containing all of the range of serial codes embedded in the images according to their morphing routine. I highly doubt the US Government could afford the space required to store all of the permutations. Considering the number of bytes available to a dynamically generated image, it is highly likely that the images would be capable of exhausting the entire md5 universe. Cheers, Rob. And then not to mention that md5 has a limitation, and that there probably would be 2 different images, with the same MD5... Using MD5 on the normal write the key CAPTCHAs isn't gonna work, they are mostly generated on the fly, and even if they weren't, then there probably a lot solutions, and not just 8 that i had with your arrow captcha. Those write the key CAPTCHAs are the best crackable with an OCR reader. But that's why they are so transformed these days. So that requires extra steps to make it readable. I think that we can conclude that a non-crackable CAPTCHA doesn't exist, but also that there doesn't exist a real hard to crack CAPTCHA. All current CAPTCHAs can be broken quite easy. MD5 can help in some cases, but only if the CAPTCHA uses static images/audio/video/etc. Just about your Audio CAPTCHA, you could use MD5 to crack it, as the number has the same MD5 sum each time.
