I really want to keep Debian's PHP packages, and just build this as a shared module. At least one post in the archives indicates that this is possible, as does one changelog entry. However, no specifics were offered. Here's what I've tried: I can build the module fine statically. I can build the shared module cybercash.so by modifying the ext/cybercash/config.m4 and Makefile files, modeling them after the mcrypt.so entries. While modules/cybercash.so does get built, I get this error when trying to load it: PHP Warning: Unknown(): Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'cybercash.so' in Unknown on line 0 I'm building with PHP 4.3.10, and the latest cybercash from PECL. I've also tried the cybercash module from 4.2.3, as suggested in one of the online manual comments. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Bill Shupp I was able to get it compiled by re-writing the config.m4 file, modeling it after the pfpro config.m4 file. Here's what I posted on the online manual comments, just so that it makes it to the mail archives as well: ## Here's how to install cybercash dynamically into PHP 1. Make sure you have the php dev tools installed, like pear and phpize. 2. Download the cybercash module: pear download cybercash 3. Untar the module: tar -xzf cybercash-version.tgz 4. Download and install my updated config.m4 file, the current one (as of version 1.18p1) doesn't work: wget http://shupp.org/patches/cybercash.config.m4 cd cybercash-version mv ../cybercash.config.m4 config.m4 5. Setup/compile module phpize ./configure --with-cybercash=/path/to/cybercash-mck-library-source/c-api make 6. Install module. For Debian Sarge, the modules directory is /usr/lib/php4/20020429/: cp modules/cybercash.so /usr/lib/php4/20020429/ (make install may work also) 7. Enable the module in php.ini, restart apache. ## Incidentally, when I tried to compile the pfpro module from within the PHP source using buildconf, I got setting mismatch errors when trying to load it into Debian's PHP binaries. However, by moving the extension out of the PHP source, and using phpize to setup it up, it loaded perfectly. Hope this helps someone else save some time!

Make them an array by adding [] at the end of the name. Also you are
missing a quote at the start of the value= (double quotes makes it
easier to print in my opinion)
It should be like this:
while (!$recordSet-EOF) {
print($recordSet-fields[0] . 'input name=interesses[]
type=checkbox id=interesses value=' . $recordSet-fields[0].''
);
Then any checkboxes checked will be in an array called interesses
$interesses = (isset($_POST['interesses']))? $_POST['interesses'] :
array();
if(count($interesses) 0){
//checkboxes have been ticked
}else{
//none ticked

Hi all
a while ago I bought a new computer and set it up to run PHP on IIS using
MySQL db. I did all the usual setup step as I used to for the last 5 yrs.
The first problem was with image uploading. The move_uploaded_file() was not
working but only if the path was in the Inetpub directory. If I wanted to
upload an image on the c: drive it was fine.
I use Win XP Proffesional and I'm not on a network, so I don't get the
security tab on the folder properties. I decided to make the user
IUSR_computername an Administrator (stupid I know, but it worked).
So now I'm trying to do an fopen($filename, w+) but it fails. If the file
is outside the Inetpub directory, it works!!!
Can anyone help PLEASE
Thanks in advance

[PHP] Warning: filemtime() (errno=75 - Value too large for defined data type)
Hi,
I'm receiving the following warning:
Warning: filemtime(): Stat failed for master.log (errno=75 - Value too large
for defined data type) in test.php on line 5
when I do the following line of code:
filemtime ('master.log');
The file in question is over 2GB, but I'm not interested in its size, I just
want to know the time it was last modified.
I presume filemtime is just doing a stat which is failing when it tries to
read the size field. Whatever the cause filemtime is returning false and
displaying that warning.
Does anyone know a work around for this warning (which does not involve
shelling out a command line app)?
My code was working fine until the file reached 2GB.
Thanks

[PHP] A small PHP project
Hi,
I do some voluntary work for Anglican Action, a Christian social
services agency in Hamilton, New Zealand. We have installed a PHP
package called Entiako on a web server
(http://www.apexsoftware.ca/products/entiako/entiako.php) -- this is a
room booking system. However, we have had some problems with it and we
are looking for someone who could make a few small changes to it to suit
our purposes. (This is in accordance with the licence agreement, which
allows these changes.)
If any of you guys are interested in taking on this short (pro bono)
project for an organisation that helps shattered families rebuild their
lives, then please email me: robscovell [{at}] xtra.co.nz
I think this will probably take about 15-20 hrs work at most, if that.

be there in the first place for php to connect to! also there was a lot of
comment lines in the script that was causing problem. ... so I gave up
trying to parse the file.
instead I did this
1) create the database with phpmyadmin etc
2) remove (by hand) all comment lines from the .sql file
and then include the file

I'm assuming that the .sql file consists of a list of MySQL queries,
that when performed sequentially will set up your system.
That being the case, the perfered way ot install the thing is to do a
'mysql [host/username/password parameters] file.sql'.
I believe you can also run file.sql scripts using phpMyAdmin.
If you were to define a mysql_run_script() function, it would look a
bit like the following:
?pseudo_code
function mysql_run_script($file){
$sql = file_get_contents($file);
$queries = split_sql_into_individual_sql_queries($sql);
foreach($queries as $query){
mysql_query($query);
}
}

Come to think of it, you could turn the above pseudo code into valid
php code, by defining the split_sql_into_individual_sql_queries()
function. This would involve splitting by ';', taking into account the
possibility that ';' may occur in the middle of a string.
Check out the code for phpmyadmin, or phpbb(db backup/recover

Umm, I suggest you read an awful lot more on mysql. I could be wrong
on this, but I can't at face value see anything wrong with
mysql_query(create database database_name); mysql_query(use
database_name). Your problem seems to be your lack of knowledge
regarding mysql, and using mysql from PHP.

execQuery($contents);
ob_start();

$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
is spagetti code. use $contents = file_get_contents(installation.sql) instead.
is a bad way of writing that: $contents =
file_get_contents(installation.sql). Where did you get the
execQuery() from? If you have an execQuery() function that allows you
to do multiple queries seperated by semicolons, then you're sorted. 1

[PHP] Free penetration test: my 2
Hi all I would like to thank everybody for helping me. Quite honestly, I didn't even remark the referal id. I guess that's because if your looking at links all day long, you kinda block certain things. Like seeing only the hostname part of urls. Secondly, as far as I am concerned, no harm's done since I specifically asked for free (as in price), I wasn't planning signing up for any paid service at all. So like someone said 35% of nothing is still nothing right? Except, some sites give a (small) buck on referals regardless of signing up. Thirdly, despite what I said previously, which was said after a very long day, and where I was very tired and confusing heads for tails, I do find that anyone who gives a link, and adds a referal id to it, should add a disclaimer to the message stating their affiliation. Being shy for money myself, I can understand that someone will take any and all oportunity to make an extra buck, but doing it this way is not very honest. Show your professionalism, add that disclaimer, people will respect you more for it. Thank you all for your help and thank you PHP!

Hi,

It's nestled in amongst a load of other text - I'm fopen'ing a file

[PHP] Can't Get PHP to work
Hi, I sure hope someone here can help me. I spent the entire day yesterday and most of the evening setting up a webserver on my Windows 2000 Pro system. I've got PHP 5.04, MySQL 4.1.12, ActivePerl 5.8.6, Java Runtime Environment, Tomcat 5.5.9, ZendOptimizer 2.5.10, MyODBC 3.5.11 and phpMyAdmin 2.6.2 all installed. From what I can tell, all is working well except PHP and phpMyAdmin. I added PHP to my path like this: C:\Perl\bin\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\php;C:\Apache2\bin;C:\mysql\bin;C:\php\dlls;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\MailFrontier I've got a copy of php.ini in both my c:/php directory and in c://winnt. I've listed my user directory as c:/apache/apache2/htdocs and I've placed phpmyadmin in htdocs. But when I try to view a php page I get an error or page cannot be displayed. On a couple of occassions I viewed the raw php data in my browser. Also, when I try to add a php extension using LoadModule in my httd.conf file I get an error loading Apache telling me that the file cannot be found (but I've verified it exists - like php5apache.dll and php5ts.dll). Can someone please help me figure out where I'm screwing up at? Thanks in advance! Edited to say I'm getting Closer!!! Now when I go to [url=http://localhost/phpmyadmin]http://localhost/phpmyadmin[/url] I get the following info: cannot load mysqli extension; please check PHP configuration [u]Documentation[/u] And the documentation says: [b][1.20] I receive the error cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration. [/b]To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called MySQL extension. This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed. Usually, the problem is solved by installing a software package called PHP-MySQL or something similar. I have tried using both mysql and mysqli in config.inc.php (phpmyadmin config file) and either way I get the same error message. And in php.ini I have enabled the following extensions: extension=php_mysql.dll extension=php_mysqli.dll
Re: [PHP] Questionary Development
If you insist on doing this serverside, then personally I'd probably use hidden form fields. If you're open to doing it client side, then I'd probably out the information into five div sections, only one of which would be visible at any one time. using dhtml. What you want is the CSS visibility attribute. Only one div would be visible at any one time. On 5/28/05, ...helmut [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a form that contains 100 questions. To make it easier on the user, I will divide it into 5 sections (20 questions per section), then all the information will be written to a db. What is the best way to carry along through the pages the information that has already been submitted? Cookies? Writing to a DB after each section? Session Variables? I read that writing to a database as i go along could be too much of a hazzle for the db, specially if I have multiple people filling out the form at the same time.

[PHP] Re: php based open source document workflow
Well ... it's not PHP but Mason, and it's called Bricolage. (It's an Open Source content management system). And it's not straightforward ... but it can cover the sort of thing you are talking about with some tweaks. You will need to set it up so that you can use it to pass Word (or whatever) docs between work desks. http://www.bricolage.cc/ Rob bruce wrote: hi... i'm dealing with a project where i'm going to have users deal/modify a number of docs.. i'd like some sort of doc workflow process where i can allow a given user/type of user access to the doc, and move the doc along the process. ie, eng - develops the doc test- tests the doc qa - reviews the doc doc signed off/complete... this kind of process would have the eng/test/qa person touching the doc, and only after all have signed off on the doc, would it be complete.. i'm going to be dealing with potentially ~2000 docs, so i''d like to have a system in place that allows us to more or less track what's going on. does anybody have any thoughts on an open source solution for this kind of situation. thanks bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Regex question: replacing incidences of character when not enclosed within HTML tags? (somewhat solved)
So, thinking about it a little more, I decided what I was looking for was
a
regular expression that would allow me to replace any incidences of
hyphens
when not contained within tags (i.e., when not contained between and
).
And this is where things have ground to a halt.
Hi All,
After toying with this for several hours I decided to give up on trying to
work out a way to achieve this via a single regular expression replacement.
My simpler 'solution' now is to pull out all text not contained within tags
using preg_match_all(), and run a str_replace() across these values to
replace any incidences of hyphens, and then another str_replace() to replace
the content with the substring where hyphens were found.
So, something like:
?
preg_match_all(/(^|)(.+?)(|$)/m, $text,$hypharr);
for ($i=0; $i count($hypharr[0]); $i++){
$rephyph = str_replace(-,-span style='font-size: 0px;'
/span, $hypharr[0][$i]);
if ($rephyph $hypharr[0][$i]){
$text= str_replace($hypharr[0][$i],$rephyph,$text);
}
}
?
This seems to achieve what I'm looking for, ie replacing hyphens when not
contained in HTML tags.
Regards,
Murray

P.S I'm running PHP 4.3.10-13 on a Debian distro.
I'm afraid you have two options: either shell out to the 'stat'
command line tool, or recompile the PHP package. You can 'apt-get
source php' and manually edit debian/rules to add the
-D_LARGE_FILE_OFFSET=64 looking argument to configure, then just
'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us' it (or debian/rules binary).
There is a bug report against PHP pertaining to this, but it breaks
something in one of the other modules that I can't recall off the top
of my head. I'm thinking it's related to Apache PAM, but that may be
something different ...
regards,
Chris
