Re: [PHP] PHP CLI setting cooked terminal mode
On 11 Sep 2013, at 17:37, Alain Williams a...@phcomp.co.uk wrote:
Hi,
I am running a PHP script at the command line and piping the output through
less:
./myScript | less
Since less is an interactive program it puts the terminal into 'raw' mode so
that it can read characters one at a time. However, when I do the above I find
that the commands that I type to less are echoed back to me and not acted on
until I type RETURN. This is not as it should be.
The sript is not doing anything really clever, just looking at a few files and
printing out directory contents, time stamps, ...
If I run the script under strace I see:
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo
...}) = 0
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_STOP or TCSETSW, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...})
= 0
I can get it to not do this by connect stdout to /dev/null:
./myScript /dev/null | less
another way of getting it to work is (and this shows that it really is PHP
that
is messing the tty modes):
./myScript /dev/null | (sleep 10;less)
However: PHP should not set the terminal to cooked mode in the first place
Is there any way in which I can get PHP to not do this ?
TIA
I am running PHP 5.3.3 on CentOS 6.
Make sure output buffering is off by putting this at the top of your script:
while(ob_end_clean());

Here are the results I got when question of migration from apache to nginx was brought up: http://blog.a2o.si/2009/06/24/apache-mod_php-compared-to-nginx-php-fpm/ (BTW there is some FPM in main PHP distribution now) As for resource management, I recommend looking at php sources (Zend/zend_alloca.c:zend_mm_shutdown() specifically) and building a custom extension that frees discarded memory resources on your request or timer or sth else.

Re: [PHP] PHP CLI vs WebServed
Thanks for the reply Richard! Never done this, but could you set environment variables, which would then be picked up by PHP (and stuffed in $_ENV)? This seems like a good idea, if i mix this with the popen() idea, i wouldnt need /dev/shm or any files at all then... but the problem remains that the PHP code will need to be setup to get its querystring (and other web-related data) in the $_ENV global instead of whatever was done before (ie using $_GET, $_COOKIES, etc...) I could create a simple function that would set all these globals correctly, copying the info from $_ENV to the proper global var. This function would need to be placed at the begining of any 'main' php files (ie index.php but not in the files it includes). Hopefully, I'm looking for a way that would not require any hacking of the PHP files that are currently working with other webservers...

Hacking php is probably the most efficient solution, but until i can
accomplish that, i think i got a good idea...
what if i opened a socket to php with C function popen(), this enables
to read/write to the stdin/out of the called program (php). I would
execute php to read the code from stdin, and the first few lines would
be created by my 'webserver' and would just set all the correct
superglobals ($_GET, $_POST, $_SERVER, etc) overwritting whatever is
in there with the correct information. Then i would add one last line
with something like:
require('theRealPHPfile.php');
this one would be executed with the proper superglobals set.
the result would give something similar to:
?PHP
$_GET['somevar'] = 'somevalue';
// [...] more superglobals set here...
require('index.php');
?
(end of example)
This is what my program would do when someone tries to browse to:
website.com/index.php?somevar=somevalue
I see a loss of performance for creating the header, but other than
this, i think it should be almost as efficient as hacking php... and
being easier...
What do you guys think?
Thanks!

RE: [PHP] PHP-CLI issue
Rob,
Thanks for the quick reply. I did try that before, but now my issue is
that the if-else section does not recognize the data as being valid. So,
I changed it to fgets(), and reran, this time using valid data. The
initial problem is corrected (it only gives the error once), but now it
does not recognize my data, and I get the error once no matter what I
input. Is there anything in particular I would need to do to the
variable, after the STDIN, to prepare it for the validation?
Thanks,

Use fgets() instead of fgetc(). You're retrieving one character at a
time. When someone hits enter... 1 (or in winblows 2) extra characters
are usually put on the input stack that represent the enter key itself.

Is there some special consideration I have to give to the fact that my PHP installation is setup as a CGI? I've never had this much trouble getting a PHP CLI script to run. there are 2 ways to run a php cli script. the first is to prefix the name of the script with php; eg php backup.php if you are specifying this in a cron job, you will have to supply the full path to the php interpreter, which you can find via which php (sorry jocheem, i know you already said that, but my system doesnt have php5, only php [even though its 5] so i thought id mention it again) that is the way i prefer to do it but i wont elaborate as there is no point now. the second way is to make the script executable; this is a 2 step process. the first step is to prefix the contents of the file with #!/path/to/php/binary where the path is the same as earlier, found via the which command. the second step is to mark the script as executable, hopefully you are familiar enough to do that yourself, but just to test it as the user who created it, you can do simply, chmod u+x backup.php i suspect in your case the cron job doesnt know the path to the php binary, ive encountered this before; although its strange its still occurring within the perl script; however i cant help you with that ;) o, btw; here is the relevant page in the manual http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.php -nathan

It's always a Bad Idea[tm] to place crons of that nature in the web path. I was able to run the cron without the need of logging into your admin panel, because there was no security to stop me. And while all it will do is create a backup of your databases in this particular case, the output from that file also gives me *highly sensitive*, critical information about the location of web path information, and ABSOLUTE WORST - gives me full access to all of your database information in plain-text, and even a convenient zip file.

RE: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
D'oh. I wondered why I got that email while I was driving. Thanks for the security tip. I had actually planned on protecting those scripts after I was done getting them to work. I removed the shebang, verified the script still works from the command line but it still doesn't work with Cron. I tried adding `which php5` and that didn't work. If I run it as php, then I'm stuck using php4, so that's not really an option. Cron works on the server because I have several perl scripts running through cron with no problems. In fact, I would probably give up on this given the problems I'm having and write in perl, but the perl modules for Amazon's S3 service are poorly documented and I was not able to figure them out.

put the script in the webroot; then you can invoke it from cron
using curl; i imagine they have that installed. you can protect
the script with the following as the first line
if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] !== '127.0.0.1') { die; }
then you could hit if from cron as in
`which curl` http://localhost/backup.php

No, it's a valid idea, Nate. However, additional suggestions when
going this route:
1.) Stop all public output from the script, regardless of whether

2.) Still, move the databases and backups out of the web root.
3.) Instead of using `which curl` in the cron, use the *nix-only

Re: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
In your cronjob, replace the php5 entry with the following (including the backticks): `which php5` If that still doesn't work, replace it simply with php, not php5: `which php` You can use 'env php' instead and it'll pick up the first one in $PATH (same sort of idea as 'which' though). So the job would be: env php -f /path/to/file.php Also while the curl suggestion may work, it's going to (eventually) have timeout issues and stop working if the backup's become too large. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] PHP CLI Problem
First off, the script runs great from the command line when I type php5 backup.php but when I type ./backup.php I get an error: bash: ./backup.php: No such file or directory. Maybe backup.php that you think it's running is the wrong one. Add something like: echo I am file . __FILE__ . \n; in your backup.php file and see if that's printed out when you run php5 backup.php. If it's not, then you're editing the wrong file. I thought maybe this is a problem with the top declaration in the script #!/usr/local/bin/php5. If you have that as the first line, then you should just need to chmod +x the backup.php file. The problem is that it appears the server has several php5s I can reference /usr/local/apache/share/cgi-bin/php5 /usr/local/bin/php5 Ask your host which is the right one (99% sure it'll be /usr/local/bin/php5). Questions: * How do I determine what to put at the top of the script so that I can just call backup.php? What difference does it make whether the full path is included in the cron job or not? You need to use the full path somewhere (whether it's in the cron job or in a shell script). You could create a shell script: #!/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/php5 -f /path/to/backup.php chmod +x the new script. Call that instead in cron. * What, if anything, do I need to do to make the script work from cron? Use the full path to php, use the full path to your backup.php file. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

So I am wondering if it is possible to use PHP CLI binary for this purpose and if there are any problems with PHP in this case. No problems that I can think of as long as you use a custom php.ini file to avoid such things as safe_mode, max_execution_time, and various other nasties that you might bump into if you run it on various servers. I was said that using Perl script is more suitable for such task since PHP scripts have problems with sending large amount of mail. Bah humbug. PHP CLI works just fine, and, it is quite easy to do both ncurses and text positioning/coloring for both Windows and Linux, and it is a lot easier to run it either from the web or shell. It's not the PHP script that has the problem, in reality, it's just an issue of making sure that you're sending the mails in batches, which you can do if you make sure that there's no maximum execution time set for the PHP script. Is that true or not? Any success/failure stories? It is false. And, I am sure that someone can dig up a success story, but, I know for a fact that I'd rather use PHP for sending large amounts of email, especially if there's to be MIME parts and or HTML included in it. There are already several well-coded PEAR packages that do this for you out of the box.

In the unlikely event that you ever need code like that in a real-life application, write that part of your code in C as a Module for Apache/PHP.
