Re: [PHP] Off the wall - sub-domain question

2013-08-22 Thread Dan McCullough
So its indexing http://www.domain.com/subdomain/page.php and you would
rather it index http://subdomain.domain.com/page.php.  If that is the case
then what Willie said holds true

User-agent: *
Disallow: /subdomain

Place a robots.txt in the domain.com public root directory.

To Googles indexer http://subdomain.domain.com/page.php and
http://www.domain.com/subdomain/page.php are totally different and
therefore blocking /subdomain will not affect subdomain.domain.com.

Sign up for Google Webmaster and add two sites subdomain.domain and
www.domain  that way you can delete improperly indexed pages.
Do some test scans and see if there are links on your www.domain that are
linked to www.domain.com/subdomain rather then subdomain.domain.com

Zmap works by being stateless, so while nmap records which requests go out,
zmap "fires and forgets", and encodes the request in such a way that the
response can provide whatever details it needs to continue the scan. No
magic here.

1. Indent properly. In php, if you put an open or close brace out of place
your code will break in unexpected ways as well. If it's hard to tell if
something is indented properly, your code should be refactored so that it
is.

2. In my experience this has a lot to do with how some people use python
and not python itself.

I see I've stumped everyone here, so I wanted to post a reply on what I
found is the root cause of this.

Somewhere in all the code, there's a session_start happening.  Then
elsewhere that our other developer is working, there was another
introduced.  This appears to be the trigger for this error.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

This seems to be triggered by:

 $this->_identity = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity();


Has anyone seen this error before?  Its throwing me for a loop

Are these inside classes or anything?  If they're just functions, they
should work fine together, example of 2 working functions together:

Hi,

I've spent hours researching this with no luck.  I have a PDF with a form

Re: [PHP] json_encode confusion

2011-11-10 Thread Dan Schaefer

On 11/10/2011 09:45 AM, Bastien Koert wrote:

Morning all,

I've been having some fun with converting a text data file import into
a json object for storage.

I have a text file that is pipe delimited coming in via an upload. The
first row is the headers and the second row is the data.

Using this code:

$data = file("inline_Nov_8_2011.txt");

if(count($data)==2){

$keys   = explode("|", $data[0]);
$fields = explode("|", $data[1]); 

$combine = array_combine($keys, $fields);

$json = json_encode($combine);
}

After the combine, I get an array that looks like this

Array
(
 ['Legal Last Name '] =>  Andros
 ['Legal Middle Initial '] =>
 ['Legal First Name '] =>  Marisa
 ['Maiden/Other Name '] =>
 ['Social Insurance No. '] =>  123456789
 ['Date of Birth '] =>  2/1/1988
 ['Gender '] =>  Female
)

But the json encoded value looks like this (there are way more
elements but this should be enough to represent what I need to do).

{null:"Andros",null:"",null:"Marisa",null:"",null:"123456789",null:"2\/1\/1988",null:"Female"}

I have been googling for info about allowed values for the json keys,
but can't seem to find a clear doc on what is allowed and what isn't.
I have tried unquoted keys, replaced the spaced with underscores but
nothing I do seems to help.

When I echo out the json encoded data, the keys are all nulls.

Can someone point me in the correct direction? It may be that I need
to manually create the key names as an array first, which I was hoping
to avoid since the file format coming from the client is still in some
flux.

Just a thought: Try removing the spaces altogether, not by replacing 
them with underscores.

Hi list,

I have my php and apache running on windows just fine, but consistently
enough to cause me big problems apache hangs up and stops servicing

Faulting module path: D:\PHP\php5ts.dll

Is there a way to turn on logging such that you can see what module is

Hi Folks,

Tuesday) for the first, second, third, fourth week in a month. The code i
have seems issues in March, but works e.g. in April:

print date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('1 March 2011 Tuesday'));

print date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('1 March 2011 first Tuesday'));
>> 08-03-2011 00:00:00

While in April, I have

print date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('1 April 2011 Tuesday'));
>> 05-04-2011 00:00:00

print date("d-m-Y H:i:s",strtotime('1 April 2011 first Tuesday'));
>> 05-04-2011 00:00:00

[PHP] Zend Framework - getParam() Question

2011-03-11 Thread Dan Joseph
Hi Everyone,

Zend Framework getParam question

I'm trying to get a value from the url...

I know how to grab:

http;//www.website.com/index/user/1

that's the index controller, $this->_getParam('user'); (value = 1)..

What I'd like to be able to grab is just off one thing from the url...
example..  I want to give an article a unique/clean url... so, when I go to:

http://www.website.com/article-clean-url

I can somehow grab that 'article-clean-url' as a value and use it for a
lookup in the database.

I've tried everything and search all over the place.  I can't find the
answer.  Can someone tell me how this is done?  Thanks...

[PHP] Under which distribution(s) is PHP developed, compiled, and tested?

2010-12-15 Thread Dan Schaefer

Background (some of these facts may be well-known, and for that I apologize):
I'm running CentOS 5.5 on all servers, which only supports PHP 5.1.6
CentOS 5.5 is based off RHEL 5.5
Redhat has released RHEL 6 which supports PHP 5.3
CentOS has not released even a beta 6 version yet that supports PHP 5.2+


I was having a discussion with my bosses about what PHP release we are running on our systems. We 
have a few applications and packages that require and/or will work better with PHP 5.2+. I 
understand that no matter what Linux distribution I have, I can always download the source, compile, 
and install manually. My question is, when The PHP Group develops, compiles, and tests PHP for a 
release, what distribution(s) and versions do they use? And of those, which distribution is the most 
commonly used throughout the development team? What Internet references are there, if any, that show 
the major and/or minor Linux distributions that support which version of PHP?


FTR, I couldn't find an answer to these questions by Googling or in the 
php-general archives.

When you say office documents do you mean you have to create them using 
Microsoft office? Or just need to replicate current paper documents?

If you need to replicate current paper documents into an electronic version

That's OK, I knew this was coming. It's been a real struggle to be
deploying something so old, yet CentOS insists on nothing but 5.1 in
the packages unless you resort to some "volatile" repositories, which
kind of defeats the purpose (in my case, that is). I used to always go
with source directly but was really hoping to go the
somewhat-brainless "auto-update" route, sticking to yum packages and
all that.

At risk of sending this thread too far down an OS-specific path, can
anybody in the CentOS+PHP world comment on yum packages, 5.1, and this
actual issue?

(In the very beginning I scoured the Net, thinking surely 5.1.6 can't
be the standard on CentOS, but kept running into the "either go from
source yourself or use volatile repositories" claims, which aren't
good in an enterprise case, though I realize using source isn't "bad"
from that standpoint).

I had tried that originally too. It does set the timezone "correctly,"
but then again so does the ini set. So the timezone does get set to
America/Chicago with a date_default_timezone_set(), and then PHP
shanks from there, showing UTC. It seems certain that the timezone
*does* get set to America/Chicago (via multiple methods), and that
America/Chicago *itself* is corrupt in PHP--and that's even with
timezonedb installed. Now everybody knows Chicago is full of
corruption, but at least the clocks aren't, right?

Surely there are bizillions of others out there running this
combination of software in the Central time zone! Yet it's as if
nobody else has corrupt timezone DB records (be they internal or via
timezonedb) except me. And I can't help but notice how CentOS (tzdata
package) is also corrupt, every single time it gets updated, on the
Central zone but no others. Obviously these should be entirely
separate issues, but "somebody" out there has it out for the Central
time zone. Probably a Yankees fan.

AHA!

I had tried checking validity by setting a BOGUS time zone (which
showed that it was taking effect), but I had not tried checking by
setting an alternate VALID time zone.

Guess what? It works. If I set it to America/Denver, I get correct output.

Thus, something is corrupt in the timezone DB itself (which I believe
is internal to PHP from what I understand from the threads I've read).

America/Chicago is completely broken but America/Denver works just fine.

Incidentally, I have noticed that CentOS is completely broken in their
tz distro. Every time it updates, it includes a US/Central file that
is completely invalid. This has persisted for months--at the OS level
I've fixed it by copying in a valid US/Central file from another box.
But doing that does not fix PHP (tried that just now)--which again I'd
expect it not to anyway, since I believe PHP (as of PHP5) has an
internal timezone DB. But I tried it just in case.

So now I suppose the thread becomes: how do I get a valid US/Central
(America/Chicago) timezone in PHP5?

Thanks much,
Dan

[PHP] time zone ignored (both via ini or in code)

2010-11-01 Thread Dan Yost
Greetings,

I've looked through a number of different archived threads (some
rather heated) and samples as well, but clearly I'm just missing
something.

PHP 5.1.6
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

My server is in Central Time (US). We do observe DST. I noticed
functions like strftime() display UTC time. So I undertook fixing
this.

I read several threads about setting date.timezone in php.ini, and
arguments for/against different timezone methods. But in my case I see
no reason why setting the timezone in php.ini would hurt us--we can
live with that. And yet:

[...@ez2 html 13:47:20]$ date
Mon Nov  1 13:50:05 CDT 2010

Good.

[...@ez2 html 13:50:05]$ grep -i timezone /etc/php.ini
date.timezone = "America/Chicago"

Good--and yes, Apache was restarted. So far, we're Central, life is good.

Let's hit PHP now:


';
}

if (ini_get('date.timezone')) {
echo 'date.timezone: ' . ini_get('date.timezone');
}

echo "";

$localtime = localtime();
$localtime_assoc = localtime(time(), true);
print_r($localtime);
print_r($localtime_assoc);


echo "" . strftime("%D %T %z %Z") . "";

?>



Which produces:


date_default_timezone_get: America/Chicago
date.timezone: America/Chicago
Array ( [0] => 14 [1] => 51 [2] => 18 [3] => 1 [4] => 10 [5] => 110
[6] => 1 [7] => 304 [8] => 0 ) Array ( [tm_sec] => 14 [tm_min] => 51
[tm_hour] => 18 [tm_mday] => 1 [tm_mon] => 10 [tm_year] => 110
[tm_wday] => 1 [tm_yday] => 304 [tm_isdst] => 0 )
11/01/10 18:51:14 + UTC


Timezone is America/Chicago, yet date functions completely ignore this
and continue to display UTC.

Please help me understand where I'm blind here.

Thanks,
Dan

[PHP] Image Replication

2010-07-20 Thread Dan Joseph
Hi,

I'm wondering how you all are doing image replication between servers.  I've
got some things in mind, but I'd like to see how others have done it.

We have a PHP application that accepts an image upload, then we want it to
show up on the other 2 web servers.  We have 3 in a load balanced cluster.
Linux servers.

How did you go about it?

Thanks, some of those I wasn't aware of.  I've got them setup now and I'm
going to try and test on the server I have again.

As for estimating how things would run on a better server.  There are
benchmarks that score the CPUs.  Let's say one scored 5500, and one scored
1100, is it safe to say the higher one can handle 5x the load?

[PHP] PHP app & Server Load

2010-06-08 Thread Dan Joseph
Hi,

This is slightly OT...

We're wrapping up a new PHP/MySQL driven web site built on the Zend
Framework.  We're anticipating a couple hundred thousand members with
several thousand of them coming to the site at once.  I'm trying to figure
out how to determine how many servers we need to support the load.

I've done initial testing on a Xeon 3220 server, but we're looking at an i7
cpu based server now.

Anyone know a good way to estimate load based on actually numbers compared
to benchmark results from intel on a faster server?

I can't find where to turn it off either, but I did notice when you type

Looks like you might have errors turned off.  I see:

Which should be:

 $subject =$_POST["subject"];

$_POST is an array, and that's how you access those elements.  check to see
if errors are on, if not, you'll see errors in the log files.

Yah, I'd never use it for a whole web site build either.  Heck, probably
wouldn't even use it for an image carosel.  We were building games with it,
which was really a no brainer to use flash.  I didn't want to get into
Java.

I'll have to try it under wine sometime.  I didn't even think about that.
But then again, my work machine is windows anyway.

I used Cedega for WoW years ago, but I think it runs under wine just fine.

I personally am using Windows for my desktop these days.  I have needs for
windows, such as Flash development.  Plus my PhpED license is for the
Windows client, so I feel kind of trapped there :)

Well, I still believe that Linux is the better suitor for a server, but some

Wow!  thanks...  I just plopped it into phped and fired off some tests, and
I agree, seems to work fine.  I appreciate your help today.  I am still
looking over the algebra stuff, and am now comparing it to your code.  This

Yes, that looks exactly what like what I'm looking for.  I'm going to try
and wake up the algebra side of my brain that hasn't been used in years and
see if I can digest all this.

For the 2, 3, and 7, that is based solely on the last number being divisible
by a prime number?

Well, the only problem with going that route, is the one group is not
equally sized to the others.  18 is ok for a group in this instance, but if
it was a remainder of only 1 or 2, there would be an issue.  Which is where
I come to looking for a the right method to break it equally.

[PHP] Math Question....

2010-04-22 Thread Dan Joseph
Howdy,

This is a math question, but I'm doing the code in PHP, and have expunged
all resources... hoping someone can guide me here.  For some reason, I can't
figure this out.

I want to take a group of items, and divide them into equal groups based on
a max per group.  Example.

1,252,398 -- divide into equal groups with only 30 items per group max.

Can anyone guide me towards an algorithm or formula name to solve this?  PHP
code or Math stuff is fine.  Either way...

Thanks...

When you hit reply all, just take out all the other addresses and leave the

Sorta looks to me like he's in a situation where users are fleeing the form,
and wondering why its not filled in when they go back.  The natural reaction
for this would be to call it abnormal, and tell them to learn how to use a
web page, but we all know how the real world is.

I like the original ideas from Peter and Ashley.  Store a session or cookie,
use ajax to periodically update a database table with the information, then
re-populate it if/when they come back.

I kinda like that word Paradigm.  Rolls off the tongue nicely.  I'm going to
use it 3 times today before I leave the office.

[PHP] Zend DB Table - WHERE as OR?

2010-04-09 Thread Dan Joseph
Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to figure out if something is even an option with the Zend
Framework.  We use the DB Table stuff.  I don't see it in the manual, so I
figured I'd ask you all...

I have:

$select = $table->select()->where( "home_team_id = ?", $home_team_id )
  ->where( "away_team_id = ?", $away_team_id
);

This translates the where's to "home_team_id = 12 AND away_team_id = 15"...

What I'd like to have is "home_team_id = 12 OR away_team_id = 15".

Is this possible?  Or would I just need to build them all into a single
where() manually?

You may want to put that kind of thing in your signature also.  Rather than

That's your culprit.  You'll need quotes around those.  $auth["username"],
"user_email", "account_type", "company_name"

Otherwise, it thinks they are constants that haven't been defined:

I've been learning a bit about SimpleXML today myself.  It seems that it

Good way to start is start small and build a strong base around a good
database, good performance practices and tight security you can then build
the cool features as you see fit.

Good thing about performance and security is that there are a ton of site
that outline best practices which means you wont have to re-invent the
wheel.

[PHP] PHP to answer HEAD requests

2009-12-18 Thread Dan Field
Is it possible to use PHP to answer HEAD http requests? Is it as  
simple as doing something like:


header('blah')
exit;

I'd expect PHP to produce a full page rather than just a header though.

Re: [PHP] Change styling depending on var value

2009-11-20 Thread Dan McCullough
To add to what Ashley said about $row[3],  remember that when you are
returning from the db the counter for fields will start at 0 not 1, so if
its the 3rd field that will be $row[2].  You might also want to do switch
rather then elseif but thats always a good debate.

[PHP] sessions and email

2009-11-12 Thread Dan Shirah
All,

I am using sessions for my application to verify a user has logged in:

// Verify the user is logged in.
if (!isset($_SESSION['basic_is_logged_in'])
|| $_SESSION['basic_is_logged_in'] !== true) {
// If not logged in, redirect to the login page.
header('Location: login.php');
exit;
}

If anyone tries to go to any page in the application via the address bar,
they are correctly redirected to the login page.

However, if someone that is currently logged into the application using I.E.
goes to File -> Send -> Page by Email, the person they email the link to can
open it and use the application without logging in and the address bar uses
a local path like: C:\Documents and Settings\my_name\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK18\My Page (2).htm

How can I prevent the emailed pages from being able to access the
application if it is a local path or the user hasn't logged in?

It's a CHAR (60) field.

This database has been around for close to a decade and I'm not the DBA for
it.  And with several billion records and 1000's of tables I don't see them
getting updated/changed. (The gov't doesn't like change)

I want to exclude the rows that might be NULL, "" (empty), or ""
(empty series of spaces)

>From all of the input so far, it seems that using trim() on the variable and

As long as I trim() the result, if (!empty()) would skip any results where
the column contains "  " OR "NULL", correct?


[PHP] NULLS vs Empty result in PHP

2009-09-23 Thread Dan Shirah
Morning!

Just a quick question.

Say I have a column in my database that could contain NULLS, empty spaces,
or an actual value.

If I do:

$my_query = "SELECT my_column FROM my_database WHERE 1 = 1";
$my_result = ifx_query($my_query, $connect_id);

while($row = ifx_fetch_row($my_result)) {
  $my_column = trim($row['my_column']);

  if ($my_column != "") {
   echo "Test";
  }
}

The way PHP assigns the query results to the $my_column variable, wouldn't;
if ($my_column != "")  not do anything for the rows that contained NULLS or
empty spaces?

David,

Look up date() and mktime() in the manual.

To get today's date is easy: date('m/d/Y');

But when wanting to add days/months/years to a date, you need to use
mktime()

mktime() breaks apart a date into hours/minutes/seconds/months/days/years.

Therefore I always break up my date into these types fo sections.

$month = date('m');
$day = date('d');
$year = date('Y');

Now that I have them seperated I create a variable $future_date and assign
it the value I want. In your case, 30 days in the future.

$future_date = mktime(0,0,0,date($month),date($day)+30,date($year));

Now I put it back into a date format.

$future_date = date('m/d/Y',$future_date);

echo $future_date;

Today is September 1st and the value of $future_date is October 1st because
there are 30 days in Spetember.

Now you can compare your dates.

if ($nexteval > $future_date) {
  echo "This date has already passed";
} else {
  *do some processing*
}

Hope that helps.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  I've tried:

header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
AND

if (file_exists($new_file)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.basename($new_file
));
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($new_file));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($new_file);
exit;
}

But everything I do just sends heiroglyphics to the screen instead of giving
the download box.


[PHP] File Open Prompt?

2009-08-28 Thread Dan Shirah
Greetings,

I'm having a problem trying to get a file download prompt.

Basically I have a page with image links.

When the link is clicked, the user is directed to another page I have. That
page finds the image path based on the image ID from the previous page.

Once the image path is found I copy the image to the local webserver and
rename the proprietary extension, .0D9 to .tif

Once the file is renamed to .tif I want the download prompt to come up.  You
know, where it says, "Open" "Save" "Cancel".

I've tried using:

$fp = fopen($new_file,"r") ;
header("Content-Type: image/tif");
while (! feof($fp)) {
   $buff = fread($fp,filesize($new_file));
   print $buff;
   }

But that just gives me heiroglyphics on the screen instead of prompting the
user to download.

Here is my code that copies and renames the file:

if ($page != "" || $page != " ") {
 exec("xcopy ".$page." ".$topage."");
}
$orig_file = $topage."\\".$objectid.".0D9";
//echo $orig_file;
$new_file = $topage."\\".$objectid.".tif";
//echo $new_file;

rename($orig_file,$new_file);

Any ideas on how to make the browser give the download prompt for $new_file?

Thanks,
Dan
