Hi there, good morning,
as posted yesterday (I guess it kind of got overlooked by the nmber of posts
here), I was such a dirk that I put a hidden action in my form that
redirected the test page to another (currently running) form which didn't
have the changes in it. So my test page showed me data of a live page...
dumb me, I know. But after hours and hours of coding, I bet this even
happens to the best out there :oP Little piece of code sticking somewhere
and you don't even remember that it is there... that reminds me to continue
writing the handbook to this website *g*
Have a great coding-day :o))

I have about 20 to 25 form fields which are all taken into the

POST data *does* have a limit, possibly, based on your selection of
browser/server software...
It's a ridiculously high limit however, so it seems more likely that
you just added a typo to your code.
Show us code to get an answer.
And estimate for us the size of the POST data as well.

Databases are username password protected. Files stored at the

some forms.
I've creating what i think is a matching pattern for each category as shown
below:
function validateEntry($regularExpression, $fieldValue)
{
if(preg_match($regularExpression, $fieldValue))
{
return true;
}
else

i made a list of rules that are passed into the function above
1) [a-zA-Z][0-9] //allow any characters and numbers together anywhere within
the text
2) [a-zA-Z] //allow only any charaters in the text
3) [0-9]{2} //allow only digits and they must be 2 in length
4) [a-zA-Z]{1} //allow only 1 character either uppercase or lowercase
but each of these fail the validation when data is entered appropriately ,

Re: [PHP] Pokeing functionality
Just the general method of implementing a poke, and then any application specific requirements can then be tailored to the application. If a user is not logged in, whenever they do, they'll get a notification that they have been poked by a particular user, and when they are logged in they'll get a poke when the page is refreshed, provided a poke was sent at that time.

[PHP] SOAP: xsd:choice maxOccurs=unbounded, and element order
Hi,
I'm trying to make PHP5's soap implementation play nice with my web
service, and I'm having a problem.
Part of my schema contains a complexType, containing an xsd:choice of
several different element types, which can be repeated many times
(maxOccurs=unbounded)
e.g.:
xsd:complexType name='containertype'
xsd:sequence
xsd:choice maxOccurs='unbounded'
xsd:element name='e1' type='e1type'
xsd:element name='e2' type='e2type'
/xsd:choice
/xsd:sequence
/xsd:complexType
The problem is that the order of element here is important. I want the
results returned in the same order that they appear in the XML.
Unfortunately, what I end up with, is an object containing an array of
all the e1 elements, followed by an array of all the e2 elements.
Take the following example... If there following were in my soap result:
container
e1some_stuff/e1
e2different_stuff/e2
e1some_other_stuff/e1
e2different_other_stuff/e2
/container
What I actually end up seeing is something like:
[container] = stdClass Object
(
[e1] Array
(
[0] = some_stuff
[1] = some_other_stuff
)
[e2] Array
(
[0] = different_stuff
[1] = different_other_stuff
)
}
Note that this is somewhat simplified from my real-world example. In
reality, e1 and e2 are complexTypes themselves.
But I really do need to see the resulting elements in the same order
that they were supplied. I'm able to do this in dotnet and gsoap
clients, so far. (I haven't tried any others.)
Incidentally, I'm using a basic unmodified skeleton generated by
wsdl2php as my classmap. The object describing the 'container' type
looks simply like:
class container {
}
Perhaps it's possible to add something to this to help sort the order out??
Any suggestions are appreciated. Could this be a bug?
Incidentally, the full-blown (and rather complicated I'm afraid)
schema/wsdl for what I'm *actually* trying to do is at
http://www.widgit.com/cml/symgate.wsdl if that helps.
Thanks,
Simon

If you server files directly from the filesystem through Apache, without interaction of PHP you might end up with people uploading all kind of hacks. For example if they upload PHP files, and they get served directly, then the PHP code will probably be executed. Also, if you end up with a lot of files on one big disk (also for RAID 0), it would result in slow speeds for finding the actual data on the disk.

I have to agree, filesystems were after all designed to store files. I reckon reading a file from disk is much quicker than reading from a database, maybe only fractionaly though. And databases were created to relate data. So if you're image is related to something, then it follows using your naive logic, that the image belongs in the database. It just so happens that database data usually resides on the filesystem, and thus your logical argument is still met. Thus, continuing to follow along this pendantic semantic path, it makes more sense that the image be in the database since more requirements are fulfilled.

Yes, but make sure you don't end up with a / inside your expression,
as that would mean the end of the expression.
You could also use another delimiter in your preg functions, i prefer
using the % symbol, but you could of course use anything you want :)

Thanks... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php DISCLAIMER: Bare with me this is a bit of a long answer enjoy! I can't think of any good reason why you'd have 757 for your permissions, first of all. Secondly, yes, there are security holes in having world-writable directories on a shared system. Some scripts require that you have these permissions set, and this is primarily for uploading files. However, better care should be taken by the authors to work around the 777-required permissions. For example, if uploading an image on the web to a web-accessible directory, it could instead be done as follows: Set permissions on [directory] to 777. Run script createdir.php via the web: ? mkdir($dir_name); chmod($dir_name,0700); ? Set permissions on [directory] back to the original permissions (probably 750 or 755). The above example does the following: 1.) Sets the directory to allow everyone to read, write, and execute. 2.) Apache creates a directory and sets permissions so that only it can read, write, and execute what's in there. 3.) Sets the directory back to the original (hopefully secure) permissions. That means that you won't be able to add, remove, or modify anything in that directory, of course, including the directory itself, unless you do so via the web. For example, you won't be able to use FTP to upload to that directory, nor can you delete anything from there via FTP or SSH (unless your host has REALLY screwed something up). Of course, if php_suexec is running, or if you set the SUID on the script, then the scripts will execute as the user they belong to, not as apache/nobody/daemon or whatever Apache is set to run as. This means that the above paragraph does not apply, and even via Apache, it would be as though you had manually placed the files there. This is the most-secure operation as far as that goes, but can lead to problems of privilege escalation if someone is able to create files under the UID of a different user on the system and have suexec run the files. And a basic refresher on Unix permissions as a whole (these NEVER apply to root, who can do anything, anytime, anywhere): SpecialtyUserGroupEveryone # # # # Everyone knows the basics of chmod: - 75 5 `chmod 755 script.php` -rwxr-xr-x script.php - Owner can read, write, and execute - Members of primary group can read and execute (can't write to file) - Everyone else can read and execute (can't write to file) Another example: `chmod 640 script.php` -rw-r- script.php - Owner can read and write (can't execute file) - Members of primary group can read (can't write or execute file) - No one else (again, beside root) can read, write, or execute file Each bit is comprised of a math formula with values as follows: 4 - Read 2 - Write 1 - Execute 0 - No permissions (cannot be added to above numbers in permission bit, of course) So to get the number for the permission bit, simply add the above numbers together to get the sum. For example, if you want the owner of the file to be able read, write, and execute, the group to be able to read and execute, and the rest of the world to only be able to read, you'd do calculate the following: Owner (read, write, execute): 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 Group (read and execute): 4 + 1 = 5 Everyone (read only): 2 Your permissions as above would be 752 (`chmod 752 script.php`). Now, on to the 4-digit permission values you've probably seen elsewhere begin with what's called a 'specialty bit' which allows the owner (or root) to enforce one of the following: 4 - SUID (if executed, runs as owner, with owner permissions) 2 - GUID (if executed, runs as group, with group permissions) 1 - Sticky (if directory, only user can

Hi Al, Tuesday, May 22, 2007, 4:19:22 PM, you wrote: I know that; but, I writing a script, that can be used on different servers, which creates a directory and I want to make certain it is created on the DOC ROOT. I don't want the user to have to test the ftp connection with a ftp utility program first. I'd have to say 'impossible'. This value isn't stored in any one variable or even in a system value you can rely on. For example you could probably extract the FTP home directory of a given user on a Unix system with a bit less pain than on a Windows server, but within IIS which managers FTP on Windows, you'd have to query the IIS service itself (via its COM object) to find out the home dir of a user, which will (and can) vary per user, assuming they even have one set. That doesn't even begin to cover all the various other FTP Servers out there, such as ServU, GlobalScape, TitanFTP, FileZilla Server, SurgeFTP, etc, etc. Each one holds its users root directories in different ways, and you'd need to know them *all*. Some hold them in ini files, some in xml, some in the registry, some in custom binary formats. You get the idea. Like I said, I think you're heading into 'impossible' territory here.

I was kind of hoping I could avoid developing it myself.
As I understand this, you want to create a web page of your own which
accepts requests for customers who are going to order products from your
supplier. You want to have a form on your page which accepts their
requests, then forward the form data on to your supplier's web site,
where presumably it will be processed. Then you want to retrieve the
response from your supplier's page, and display the result on your own
web page. You suggest that the response string for success is
relatively stable and that this string is this what you want to search
for in the response.
This doesn't sound like a very complicated problem. You can do this
either using Ajax or not. The basic solution is the same. You have a
script on the server which accepts the form data from your page and
re-sends it to the supplier's site. If your supplier's site accepts
form data using GET, then you can simply create a url with the form data
attached in a query string:
http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2
Send this url to your suppler using file_get_contents:
$return_string =
file_get_contents(http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2;);
This will return the html file as a string which you can then parse with
preg_match() for the 'success' string.
The problem is more involved if your supplier doesn't accept GET but
only accepts POST. Then you have to use either curl or fsockopen to
post your data. I've tested the following fockopen script and it
worked for me:
?php
$fp = fsockopen(my.supplier.com, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo $errstr ($errno)br /\n;
} else {
$out = POST http://my.supplier.com/form_page.html / HTTP/1.1\r\n;
$out .= Host: my.supplier.com\r\n;
$post = form_data_1=data_1formdata_2=data_2;
$len = strlen($post);
$post .= \r\n;
$out .=Content-Length: $len\r\n;
$out .= Connection: Close\r\n\r\n;
$out .= $post;
fwrite($fp, $out);
$result= ;
while (!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $result;
}
?
You have to adhere to the above sequence. The posted data comes last
and it is preceded by a content-length header which tells the receiving
server how long the posted data is. The returned result is the html
page returned from your posted request.

PHP does automatic type conversions, even if $num is passed in as a
string all those quotes around the integers are not necessary. There
is no variable interpolation required in the day names so all those
double quotes should be single quotes. A function call seems rather
heavy when a global array can be indexed more easily. Even a switch
statement would be an improvement.

?php

If you want Monday to be the first day of the week, just use a date for
gmmktime() that falls on a Monday.

this function sucks - it does nothing more than wrap preg_match and
returns strings instead of boolean values.
regexp's become hard very quickly - but for simple checks like your
doing your probably better off using the functions in the ctype
extension:
http://php.net/ctype
i made a list of rules that are passed into the function above
1) [a-zA-Z][0-9] //allow any characters and numbers together anywhere within
the text
2) [a-zA-Z] //allow only any charaters in the text
3) [0-9]{2} //allow only digits and they must be 2 in length
4) [a-zA-Z]{1} //allow only 1 character either uppercase or lowercase
but each of these fail the validation when data is entered appropriately ,
seems iam getting something wrong.
how exactly do you define these regexps? seems like your forgetting to add a
start/end delimiting
character to the regexp strings (as others have pointed out).

[PHP] Re: [PEAR] PHP5 Static functions called through __call() that don't exist... yet
Ok, somehow I did this again (posted to pear-general instead of
php-general). pear-general and php-general look alike...
Thank everyone for their suggestion. I would like to see a __static()
version of __call(), but this is the wrong place to bring that feature
request up.
To answer Greg Beaver's observations, I would prefer to use static instances
in this case, to save myself the trouble (and overhead) of instantiating a
new object while developing classes. The utility is meant to provide unit
testing for individual classes or libraries, that can then be extended to a
specific class or library, and abstract the actually is_type() testing to
another class. It's a somewhat specific implementation meant more for unit
testing.
Below is the code I decided to implement (with a test below it to
demonstrate):
code
?php
if (!class_exists('TypeAssert')) {
class TypeAssert {
public static $a;
public static $assert;
private static $types = array(
'array','bool','float','integer','null','numeric',
'object','resource','scalar','string'
);
function __construct() {
self::$assert = self::$a;
}
public static function __call($method,$arguments) {
$obj = self::assertStandardTypes($arguments[0]);
return $obj-$method;
}
public static function assertStandardTypes($para) {
$r = TypeAssert::getTypesObject();
foreach ($r as $type=$v) {
$func = is_.strtolower($type);
if (function_exists($func) === true) {
if ($func($para) === true) {
$r-$type = true;
} else {
$r-$type = false;
}
}
}
return $r;
}
public static function getTypesObject() {
$obj = (object) '';
for ($i = 0; $i count(self::$types); $i++) {
$obj-{self::$types[$i]} = (bool) false;
}
return $obj;
}
}
}
TypeAssert::$a = new TypeAssert();
echo(pre\n);
switch($_GET['type']) {
case 'int':
$test = 100;
$_test = 100;
break;
case 'float':
$test = 100.001;
$_test = 100.001;
break;
case 'null':
$test = null;
$_test = 'null';
break;
case 'object':
$test = TypeAssert::$a;
$_test = '[object]';
break;
default:
$test = 'string';
$_test = 'string';
break;
}
foreach (TypeAssert::getTypesObject() as $type = $v) {

[PHP] Re: ftp root dir?
What I ended up doing was to make a dir with ftp_mkdir(). Then test it with file_exists() to see if it is where I expected. If not, I post a die() error msg and say tech support required. Tech support can then figure out where the ftp root dir is. and set a config file accordingly. Thanks...

If it is the document root (of what?!). If not, how can I insure the ftp root dir is the same as DOC_ROOT? Define DOC_ROOT :) if you ftp_chdir() and it's already on the root, it posts an error. Well if you tries to go back to the root - try to use ftp_cdup - but it shouldn't be needed if you combine ftp_pwd and ftp_chdir ftp_pwd() simply returns /, which simply says it's on its root, where ever that is.

I'm looking for a piece of software or coding that will let me post a

http://php.net/curl
I want to accept queries on behalf of my supplier, forward it to them
behind
the scenes, accept their response and display it within my website.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Is there a simple, basic
utility
to let me do this?
I was kind of hoping I could avoid developing it myself.
As I understand this, you want to create a web page of your own which
accepts requests for customers who are going to order products from your
supplier. You want to have a form on your page which accepts their
requests, then forward the form data on to your supplier's web site,
where presumably it will be processed. Then you want to retrieve the
response from your supplier's page, and display the result on your own
web page. You suggest that the response string for success is
relatively stable and that this string is this what you want to search
for in the response.
This doesn't sound like a very complicated problem. You can do this
either using Ajax or not. The basic solution is the same. You have a
script on the server which accepts the form data from your page and
re-sends it to the supplier's site. If your supplier's site accepts
form data using GET, then you can simply create a url with the form data
attached in a query string:
http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2
Send this url to your suppler using file_get_contents:
$return_string =
file_get_contents(http://my.supplier.com?fdata_1=data1fdata_2=data2;);
This will return the html file as a string which you can then parse with
preg_match() for the 'success' string.
The problem is more involved if your supplier doesn't accept GET but
only accepts POST. Then you have to use either curl or fsockopen to
post your data. I've tested the following fockopen script and it
worked for me:
?php
$fp = fsockopen(my.supplier.com, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
echo $errstr ($errno)br /\n;
} else {
$out = POST http://my.supplier.com/form_page.html / HTTP/1.1\r\n;
$out .= Host: my.supplier.com\r\n;
$post = form_data_1=data_1formdata_2=data_2;
$len = strlen($post);
$post .= \r\n;
$out .=Content-Length: $len\r\n;
$out .= Connection: Close\r\n\r\n;
$out .= $post;
fwrite($fp, $out);
$result= ;
while (!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
echo $result;
}
?
You have to adhere to the above sequence. The posted data comes last
and it is preceded by a content-length header which tells the receiving
server how long the posted data is. The returned result is the html
page returned from your posted request.
It's a nice script, but you're way better off using cURL, you can
simply pass a PHP array as POST form data.
Tijnema
Thanks. That's good to know. My experience with these kinds of things
is with Perl, with which I've done an awful lot of screen-scraping. But
I haven't had any actual practical experience with cURL. I've looked at
it, but that's all. Also, I was under the impression that cURL is an
extension which is not always installed, whereas fsockopen() is a
built-in. There is one server I sometimes use, a shared server, where it
isn't installed. The other servers I use are all independent machines.

Hello again; In my frustration and laziness (tired of probing around to solve syntax errors that are not obvious) I have encountered the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in path removed groups_proc.php on line 585 The two lines immediately proceeding the line referenced by the error and line 585 follow: line 583: $pending_to = str_replace(//\$requests_to[] = ' ';, \$requests_to[$list_length] = '$input[4]';\n//\$requests_to[] = ' ';, $pending_to); line 584: $pending_to = str_replace(//\$r_group_to[] = ' ';, \$r_group_to[$list_length] = '$input[3]';\n//\$r_group_to[] = ' ';, $pending_to); line 585: $pending_to = str_replace(//\$r_status_to[] = ' ';, \$r_status_to[$list_length] = 'pend';\n//\$r_status_to[] = ' ';, $pending_to); - error reference line I can't see it. The only problem I would imagine, is that $list_length is an integer and not a string. But if that was what is being complained about, why didn't the error occur at line 583? ( I am trying to add array items to a php file by writing them to it. $list_length is a variable declared in the file to keep track of what index to assign to new array items. It is incremented when an item is added. The reason is that there are 3 arrays and all have to correlated item for item. Yes there probably is a better way but this is what I have to deal with at present. ) Thanks for help in advance Jeff K -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Syntax error, where? solved
Hello again; (Blush); I was looking at the wrong line. Somehow the line numbers changed on me and the error was actually at a suspect line that I had changed. But the file that was giving the error was a file that was not updated. Now it works, I was trying to do $list_length -1 in the middle of an interpolated string like; string.$list_length -1.string. I had to write this message as soon as I saw the error to spare those who would read and not be able to see it either.

[PHP] Re: convert numerical day of week
I think what you need is simply something like this:
function get_day($int_day){
$arr_day_of_week = array('1'='Sunday', '2'='Monday', '3'='Tuesday',
'4'='Wednesday', '5'='Thurdsay', '6'='Friday', '7'='Saturday');
}
echo(get_day(1)); //will print Sunday

How can I convert the numerical day of week to the string version?
Example, if the day of the week is 1 I would like to print out 'Sunday'.
Thanks,
Dave
