OK - it is setting tty modes as I suspected.

This is the readline routine ... probably setting the tty to raw mode, thus the 
tcsetattr() above.

Look at the link below, it is how your CLI version of PHP is compiled:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/readline.installation.php

readline is mentioned as part of CLI:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.usage.php

This is done BEFORE your script starts - so nothing that you can do to stop it.

Try the daemonize that I wrote about a few minutes ago.

The point is that you need to completely disassociate the process from the tty.
Install the daemonize program, then use it to run your PHP script. See:

http://software.clapper.org/daemonize/

It claims to run under OSx (which is just BSD Unix).

Any clues? To me it looks like PHP cli is trying to do some I/O but I'm

ioctl on a tty is typically used to set it into single character at a time mode 
(remove stty's icanon).
It could have decided that since it is a tty then that should be set.

You need a bit more info, get a backtrace with 'where'.

I've seen this ...

php script.php 1>nul 2>nul

Not sure how effective it is. But the code is tagged as a "fire and
forget" mechanism.

Laruence, while that may be a helpful answer to a few people in the

going to help the people who are having this problem. At least explain 
why you suggested that, or what it does for those on the list that

Richard, some more info on the command Laruence mentioned can be found

it in more detail.


not sure this is relevant as my script is not trying to write to the 
terminal the >test.log 2>&1 is sending stdout and stderr to the log file 
not the tty...

Those patterns look like a pretty good starting point to me. True, the
first captured result of preg_match would be the entire string, but
the submatches array would contain the actual sequence that is
repeated:


  string(60) "032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129032258064516129"
  [1]=>
  string(15) "032258064516129"
}
*/

$subject = '037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037';
if (preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches)) {
var_dump($matches);
}
/*
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(60) "037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037037"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "037"
}
*/

$subject = '';
if (preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches)) {
var_dump($matches);
}
/*
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  string(60) ""
  [1]=>
  string(1) "3"
}
*/

?>



Some slight adjustments to the pattern could also be useful.

// This would catch a pattern of any repeating characters, not just
numeric digits
$pattern = '/(.+?)\1+/';

// This would only match if the entire string was a repeated sequence
$pattern = '/^(\d+?)\1+$/';

// This would match the repeated sequence only if the string began
with a repeated sequence.
$pattern = '/^(\d+?)\1+/';

// This would match the repeated sequence only if the string ended
with a repeated sequence.
$pattern = '/(\d+?)\1+$/';

If a string had multiple sequences, you could also use preg_match_all
to find each sequence, but that looks a bit more involved than the OP.

None of these require knowing the sequence in advance. How do they not
satisfy the OP?

Nah, it's the same thing. 

A suitable regex might look something like this:

/([0-9]+)\1+/

Not tested, probably won't work on the first try.  You may need
greediness adjustments.

As I understand, there is no point in using gzip to serve images since
they are usually already compressed and/or not very well suited to
textual compression. In fact, I suspect that if you serve a document
with a Content-Type of image/gif, image/jpeg, image/png, etc., either
PHP or Apache will detect that and bypass the gzip handler. (That's
just a guess, though. I don't have any way at present to test that
theory.)

Based on Nisse's response, I think you're better off leaving the
Content-Length header out entirely (as we already suggested).

If you use gzip'd output, does PHP automatically generate a
Content-Length header? It seems to me that the value for
Content-Length should be the compressed size, not the uncompressed
size that you are sending. Besides - do you really need to send
Content-Length? I don't usually see it sent, and the only time I've
seen it make a difference is if I'm sending the file as an attachment
(prompting the browser to save the file rather than displaying it). If
removing the line eliminates the problem, I'd just remove the line and
be done with it.

I think content-length is not a thing you have to mention.  Only I have seen
its required for image type data yet.

 Hello,

 I don't know for sure is this problem is only related to PHP so I hope
 I've posted in the right list.

 My problem is that with certain headers my script takes about 5 seconds
 before sending the page, no matter how small the file I try to load...
 My server :
 Centos
 Apache 2.2
 PHP 5.2.9

 Here's my code :

 >>> header('Content-Type: application/x-javascript');
 header('Content-Length: '.filesize('test.js'));
 readfile('test.js');
 ?>

 test.js is only a few lines long, and if I remove the header content
 type
 the file loads instantaniously do it's not a problem with readfile.
 I thought about zlib gzip taking maybe a long time to load but I've
 changed the compression level from 6 to 1 and the file still has a the
 same
 lag.

 My server responds very fast for eveything else except this script. Do
 you
 have an idea what might be causing this lag ?

 Thanks in advance :)

Re: [PHP] PHP script lag (5 secs) when declaring mime type.

[Jsbeginner]

Thankyou,

I took "application/x-javascript" directly from the apache setup for my 
domain so this should be correct.


However I've just deactivated gzip (zlib.output_compression OFF in 
php.ini) and that stopped the problem.
I've given you a simplified version of the script that has the exact 
same problem (the original one gets the mime type automaticaly and has 
the same problem with any files that are gziped (css, html, javascript 
etc... but not images.).


So the problem seems to have someting to do with this line :


header('Content-Length: '.filesize('test.js'));

and with gzip ...

I would like to be able to activate gzip again but I need to work out 
why I'm getting this bug first.


Apache isn't installed with mod_deflate, should I look into doing this 
instead of turning zlib.output_compression on again ?


Is there maybe a bug with PHP 5.2.9 that's causing this problem?

Thankyou :)

something to do with apache, usually we we see this it's something to do with 
DNS
lookups ... unlikely in your case.

I figure it's something to do with apaches' content negotiation, possibly it 
looks up
your content-type for some reason but ends up not recognizing it (and tries 
alsort of
stuff before giving up and just sending the output)

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/content-negotiation.html

question is do you really need "application/x-javascript"?
won't "text/javascript" do just fine? or does that have the same problem?
... actually does the problem occur with any value for 'Content-Type'?

I almost forgot, I resolved the blank page issue by looking at the
.htaccess file FUDforum installed in its main public directory
...turns out the file contained a directive which suppressed all php
errors even when the value was specified differently in individual php
scripts, modifying that directive to show all php errors resolved that
issue.

Thanks, turns out there were multiple problems with my code. My final
working code is:

id);
if(!empty($uid->id) && !empty($login)) //User ID is valid and logged in
{
//echo("Welcome, " . $user . ", please wait while you are
logged in...");
header( 'Location: https://blah.com/~jmusbach/FUDforum2/?S='.$login);

}
else //User ID is invalid, register and log in
{
//echo("Welcome, " . $user . ", please wait while you are registered
and logged in...");
$vals['login']=$user;
$vals['passwd']="password";
$vals['email']=$email;
$vals['name']=$realname;
$uid=fud_add_user($vals,$error);
$login=external_fud_login($uid);

if($uid!=0 and empty($error))
{
  header('Location: https://blah.com/~jmusbach/FUDforum2/?S='.$login);
}
else
{
  echo($error);
  die();
}

}



?>

for anyone who may be trying to accomplish the same thing as me. In
addition I edited index.php in the themes folder and added a php
clause such that in the event the user is anonymous they are
redirected to the autologin.php script and I also edited the
register.php themes script to omit the UserCP password field and
password confirmation since everyone in this setup is assigned one
long random password (the thought being that the kerberos
username/password is enough to worry about, there should be no need to
worry about another username/password).

Don't think there is such a thing, but you could generate one by
combining the pid, timestamp and the script filename, maybe into an
md5 hash value or similar. Thinking about it, "ip.pid" would be
enough, i.e. 127.0.0.1.12345.


The IP and pid will not actually change...

It's just me surfing to my own app (or one I inherited) on my own
desktop.

Apache isn't getting nearly exercised enough to need a second child,
so the pid is the same all the time...

Guess I'll have to create one as Eric Butera suggested...

Seems kind of odd that there isn't some kind of
script/thread/M_INIT/R_INIT id hanging around and exposed that
developers could use.
[shrug]


I don't find that odd since there's on external context to such an ID  
other than that which you create within the script so you can just use  
something randomly unique.

I suppose if nobody else has better ideas you can fake it with setting
some sort of unique value and combining that with __FILE__ for your
instance run.



Not very glamorous though. ;)

Re: [PHP] Php script diagnostic app?

[William Lovaton]

If you have little knowledge about C you can use sysprof on a relatively
new Linux distribution and you can see on a live system where the CPU is
consumed the most.

[] http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/
[] http://live.gnome.org/Sysprof

With a little help of Google you can map C functions to the PHP
equivalents and this way you can get a bit more of understanding about
what is going on in your code.

Finally, xdebug is real nice too.

Re: [PHP] Php script diagnostic app?

[Guillaume Theoret]

Thanks a lot for that post Paul.

It brings up a question though. You said to never ever use that on a
production server (an important disclaimer!) so I was wondering what
people here used to log and simulate loads. I've used OpenSTA (
http://opensta.org/ ) and I was pleased with the results but it only
works with windows. What do you guys generally use under linux? Just
squid? Something else?

I suppose I can just set up a windows box if I have to since OpenSTA
acts as a transparent gateway but if there's a good linux solution out
there for recording usage and playing it back concurrently I'd like to
hear about it. With OpenSTA to create a test script it's as easy as
clicking the record button to create the script and stop when you're
done. Then you can go in and manually edit the script if you like and
you can play it back as many times as you'd like concurrently (thereby
simulating many users). Anyone know of anything like this?

Thanks

I prefer using XDEBUG, which is totally free. You can install it from
the pecl repositories: pecl install xdebug

Then, you simply install it as an extension on your development machine,
and execute your scripts. A really nice feature of xdebug is that not
only does it give you detailed stack traces and things when stuff goes
wrong, but you can also do really excellent (and graphical) profiling in
combination with cachegrind (I use KCacheGrind on Ubuntu), which uses
GraphViz to make very interesting graphs of what your code is doing.

If you would like a more detailed HOWTO, please let me know, and I will
write up something for you.

I believe there are profiling tools... probably from Zend. How big is
your script? You might get away with using the microtime() function to
locate slow areas of code. Generally speaking I use it to binary
partition the code with echos of the current microtime() and narrow down
what I want to know.

Rob.

   You could check out xdebug, which is a real-time processor.  I use
it on two of my servers, and I'm actually pretty pleased with it.  If
you have a bug in your code that's multiple-functions- and
several-include-files-deep, it does pretty well about telling which
function (called by which function, etc.) in which file (included by
which file, etc.) caused the exception.

Re: [PHP] php script from bat file

php.exe expects a PHP script as an argument, usually.

You can run it interactively with -a or use -i to get phpinfo output
and so on, but php.exe with nothing at all will run and not do much of
anything.

PHP is installed in 'C:\PHP' and the script I want to run is in
'C:\Inetpub\scripts\run.php'.



I've created a Windows batch file which executes from the 'C:\PHP'
directory and contains a single line 'php.exe
C:\Inetpub\scripts\run.php'.



It seems to run ok but nothing happens. Any ideas?



Thanks,

Dave



Try using the full path to the php.exe binary, I don't have PHP on
windows, but I guess it is
c:\PHP\bin\php.exe
in your example, so that would become
C:\PHP\bin\php.exe C:\Inetpub\scripts\run.php

Re: [PHP] php script fails when run from cron

[blackwater dev]

I finally got it working and Chris was correct.  It appears that cron was
using the wrong php.  Pumping the errors of even logging them wouldn't have
helped as I was tweaking the ini for the php I thought it was using.  When I
explicitly tell it which one to use, it seems to work fine.

Thanks!

Re: [PHP] php script fails when run from cron

[Richard Lynch]

It's remotely possible that your database classes are trying to create
temp files or cache files or something in the "current working
directory" which for cron would be...  The home directory of the user
running it???

I don't even know what it would be, but I know it can be problematic.

The cron job IS running as the same user as when you do it on
command-line right???

I mean, maybe freetds refuses to connect as 'root' user, and you put
the cron in as 'root'?

It's going to boil down to user/path/permissions, almost for sure.

Always CC the list :)

Use the full path:

/path/to/right/php /usr/local/

if you do:

whereis php

it will show all versions (and directories like /usr/lib/php for 
example) which are in your path.


php -v

will help tell you which one is the right one.. if not:

php -i

and go through the output.

Do you have multiple php versions installed (one has freetds support,
one doesn't) ?

How are you running it from cron?

Maybe the cron job is picking up a different php?

Turn up error_reporting and see what messages you get..

Words only last as long as the medium upon which they are encoded... and
that includes brains -- unless of course there is an afterlife, but
arguing unprovable ideas is as futile as me saying that I can fly, but
only when nothing is looking *haha*. Undoubtedly "immortal" is an

however quite welcome to grovel before anyone you please, whether they

I think this list should be a "last resort" for a phpBB question about
how to link phpBB authentication with another authentication system,
after:

Search phpBB sites for plug-ins and add-ons that expose an API to tie
phpBB authentication to any authentication

Research other common authentication packages for phpBB support, so
see if their code can be adapted for your own use.

Search phpBB forums / mailing lists and any support channels

I'm happy to say that the sites now work both ways.
A user opens an account on WeberDev and an account
Will be opened on WeberForums and vice versa.

A password or email update on one site will trigger
An update on the other.

I'm guessing that most posters indeed believe that, because if you think
about it, it's logical and as such, someone would have already created a
solution. Yet believing that and sending someone off to go look "somewhere"
demonstrates that nobody has actually "seen" the solution... Otherwise why
not share it?

Okay, try THIS tack:

Why don't you search the phpBB plug-ins pages/archives/solutions for
what you want?

That's your most likely source.

In fact, if it's not there, odds are really good nobody has what you
want ready for off-the-shelf use.

Or perhaps you believe you have already completely mined out those
resources, and PHP-General was your last resort.

Which is fine, but that should have been in your original post.

That probably would have avoided most of this thread...

You cannot possibly be the first (or last) developer to want this
feature...

believe that your phpBB solution is "out there" and you just need to

Because he honestly believe, as I do, that your odds of finding what
you want quickly and easily are approximately 1,254 times better on a
phpBB-specific forum than in this "General" list?

Try to take this viewpoint:
We are actually trying to help you.
You keep refusing to believe the answer everybody gives you.
Maybe, just maybe, they're right and you're wrong.
So...
Have you actively searched for what you want in the phpBB community?
Just try it.
Please.

Since you have a fair idea of how weberdev creates users (since you created it) 
why not insert some PHP code into phpBB to create a weberdev account when 
someone creates a phpBB account?

Or is that not possible.


having read the whole thread I like to say:

1. we should be paying John Nichel for his comic input (aside from the fact 
that he
has lots of tips/advice/etc as well) - the man makes me laugh again and again
- and in this hectic world we work in that's a good thing.

2. for someone who has been on the list since 1998, taking a knife to phpBB
and integrating a 2-way synchronization wotsit between your user data and 
phpBB's
should be a piece of cake - maybe a big piece but cake none the less.

3. I do know of weberdev because it's often in the list of results when I 
search for
php related stuff - BUT I have also got to know that it's mainly full of 
beginner level
code/tips/etc, that's great for many people starting out in php but those of us 
on this
list who regularly post help/answers (& jokes ;-) it's not the kind of resource 
that of
any use - personally I aspire to write code on the level of people like Derick 
R., Chris S.,
Ilia A et al (to name a few) and not at the level of some kid who can barely 
find his way
to a search engine (that's not directed at you Berber, although there is one 
Indian chap
who is free to feel he is being implied ;-).

[Jeremy Schreckhise]

What's there to miss.  The create user logic is centralized and fairly easy
to follow.  If this is too hard for your current situation, you might just
want to pass your user information to the phpBB .php file that processes
user input.  Just another option.  

(I know these aren't the programs, nor the vars I'm just using this
as an example)
phpBB_create.php?user=webdevuser&pass=webdevuserpass

Of course you would do this programmatically with variables from your webdev
form.

Why couldn't you use your login (weberdev).  I.E. when a user creates an
account you also push this data onto the phpBB2 db.  Find where phpBB is
creating a user, analyze the encryption method use, modify your login to
create both entries.

The solution is really quite simple.  You have two choices to maintain the
phpBB code base.  1)  Rewrite your login to use the phpBB user accounts, or
2)  keep both sets of user tables, and write a few functions to call both
the phpBB and your user handling code when they're needed.

Hi

My 1st thought was to look at the mysql query log and see what it takes
To create a user. After looking at the set of queries I understood that I
Didn't want to go directly to the DB and bypass the phpBB logic.

I managed to find a script that uses the minimum phpBB internal
functions to create a user. After some more fixing it actually
Opens a user so if anyone needs it :

I'm still working on it but the current version works.

Yeah, I don't see a problem with that one..

So, when you open a weberDev account, have your creation script go through
and load the phpBB Database set and run through the same user login
information, dumping it into the phpBB database fields itself.

frankly put, the install MySQL schema has:
# -- Users
INSERT INTO phpbb_users (user_id, username, user_level, user_regdate,
user_password, user_email, user_icq, user_website, user_occ, user_from,
user_interests, user_sig, user_viewemail, user_style, user_aim, user_yim,
user_msnm, user_posts, user_attachsig, user_allowsmile, user_allowhtml,
user_allowbbcode, user_allow_pm, user_notify_pm, user_allow_viewonline,
user_rank, user_avatar, user_lang, user_timezone, user_dateformat,
user_actkey, user_newpasswd, user_notify, user_active) VALUES ( -1,
'Anonymous', 0, 0, '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 0, NULL, '', '', '', 0,
0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, NULL, '', '', 0, '', '', '', 0, 0);

# -- username: adminpassword: admin (change this or remove it once
everything is working!)
INSERT INTO phpbb_users (user_id, username, user_level, user_regdate,
user_password, user_email, user_icq, user_website, user_occ, user_from,
user_interests, user_sig, user_viewemail, user_style, user_aim, user_yim,
user_msnm, user_posts, user_attachsig, user_allowsmile, user_allowhtml,
user_allowbbcode, user_allow_pm, user_notify_pm, user_popup_pm,
user_allow_viewonline, user_rank, user_avatar, user_lang, user_timezone,
user_dateformat, user_actkey, user_newpasswd, user_notify, user_active)
VALUES ( 2, 'Admin', 1, 0, '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '', '', '', '', '', '', 1, 1, '', '', '', 1, 0, 1,
0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, '', 'english', 0, 'd M Y h:i a', '', '', 0, 1);

So, using that information, make your weberdev connect to the phpBB database
(you have all that information already as you had to set it up), and use 1
script to make them both.

Actually, saying to go look at the phpBB site/forums *is* helping.  Just 
because phpBB is written in php does not mean the php-general mailing 
list is the best place to find an answer.  If you have a specific 
issue/question about a specific application, where do you think is the

question is about, or a *general* mailing list?  But I shouldn't have to 
explain that to a 'long time' vet such as yourself, should I?


It's not about being overly sensitive, it's about 
The kind of answers that create a negative atmosphere.

If it's just me thinking like that... Forget it. But the

This list rude?  This has to be the tamest list I've ever seen.  Hell, 
go try USENET.



Btw, http://www.weberdev.com does that ring a bell?
Has been online since April 1998 holding tons
Of php material for anyone looking for it.



Nope, no bells what-so-ever.  But that doesn't mean anything...sites 
like that are all over the place, and quite honestly, I haven't gone 
looking for help sites in years.


BTW, please fix your clock.

That's fair enough, and I agree that code reuse is good - I publish a fair
amount myself. However, the correct place to ask for a solution to a
phpBB-specific problem would be the phpBB community not the general PHP
community. Or am I still high on "session"?

That's fair enough, and I agree that code reuse is good - I publish a

a phpBB-specific problem would be the phpBB community not the general

Either should work.

Maybe I'm just feeling grumpy this morning, but the solution here seems
obvious and your approach to finding a solution seems wrong.

My solution would be... All user registrations end up in the phpBB database.
All user logins authenticate against said database.

My method for working our how would be... the phpBB code, seeing as how it
does this already, is an ideal place to look for the code required to do
this is it not? Additionally, failing that, surely their support resources
are probably a better place to seek help for this 'problem' 
than here. I'm sure they get this question regularly.

Assignment, eh?  Generally, folks on the PHP list will not do your homework

Not a PHP issue.  Hint: google "body onload"  Generally, you will give your
form a name and specify that name and the field name you want to have focus
in the  tag. using the "onload" directive.

PHP doesn't automatically display anything you don't ask it to display.
(Other than these occaisional 'error messages' some claim to see ;-) In your
code snippet, I happened to notice that you explicitly echo the username and
password.  I would say the fix for this is "don't do that".

You can format dates and times any way you see fit. You can set timezones
how ever you want.  How? http://php.net/date would be a good place to start.
:-)

Happy coding!

the only problems are:

did try putting one it, did not like it.
so how do i do this?
is there a basic dom example, how to set focus on a form field, when 
the form loads?

2. got a user name and password.
and enter username and password, and when the php script loads, it 
shows the user name and the password.
want to hide this, and only have the message, now how do i accomplish

tried things on the web and tried on google, but could not find any 
thing for this.
3. and got to provide the time, but how do i format it say for

just got the standard time, and jaws reads it out, as one line of text.
will paste the user form and php code.
if any one can offer code snippets, or point me to links, and 
examples, let me know.
sorry about this, but these are stumping me and banging my head up 
against the brick wall, so, would ask.

cheers Marvin.




User Form:



User Login Form



User Name:   
Password:   


I would make this: Password: name="password">
 -use the password

Php Script:



Just say:
   $user = $_POST['username'];
   $pass = $_POST['password'];
echo "$user has successfully logged into the Tafe network. \n";
/* This will STORE your username/password instead of printing them out 
to the screen */
(Of course there are security considerations sending a clear text 
password accross page loads, but it may be outside the scope of the 
assignemnt)


echo "Marvin Hunkin has successfully logged into the Tafe network. 
\n";

echo "Please Wait ... Loading Your Personal Settings ... \n";

ah, righty ho. that does look familiar - I just assumed that you were pointing

might
just have been pointing to OP to the most natural place to start reading about 
sessions
(or anything php for that matter) - which is why I asked, you never you when 
you can learn
something new! :-)

that said I have always been satisfied with the default session handler (and 
given that
(nearly) all my work is published either on my 'own' server (not really mine 
but I have
full control and there are no 'anon' 3rd party running stuff) or on dedicated 
servers belonging
to clients I don't have to worry about all the potential security risks 
involved with (badly setup?)
shared hosting environments. for that reason (and lack of time) I have never 
really dived deep
into to the possibilities of custom session handlers (I have used some 3rd 
party code once that
used a mysql DB to store the session data which was a quite simple affair - 
such a setup would
allow sharing of sessions accross various boxes asumming a shared base 
domain)
