Re: [PHP] How to capture uploaded file data

I'm writing a PHP extension now in c/c++. User uploads a file (could be POST or PUT method, but I can limit it to POST only). I need to capture the file data while being uploaded, without writing it to disk on the server. I need to process the data and (maybe, depending on a situation) send it somewhere else or save it to disk. Of course I know, that I can process the file after it has been uploaded (saved on disk on the server), but I would like to avoid it. I also need to do something opposite: I need to generate a file on the fly and send it to the user. All metadata of the generated file is known beforehand (e.g. size, name). I've been searching around for some time now and I could not find anything even close to the solution. Is there any example(s) or existing PHP extension that do(es) something like this (at least something simmilar) ? If you could give me any pointers that would be awesome. Thanks for your help The question I have is why? Should your upload fail for any reason you've got a half processed file that is non-recoverable. No do-overs. If you stick to the standard processes with out the extension, Upload Save somewhere (or leave in temp upload folder) Process Send result back to user Unlink file Generating the file and sending it to the user is also pretty standard Create your dataset Send appropriate headers Send data Close connection For this, there usually isn't a need to save the file. You may run into issues streaming the data to certain browsers. Also one of the main downsides to your upload is high load situations or large file situations (where file size exceeds php's upload limit). My personal preference is to save that file to disk so that if needed I can work with it later ( if say the server load is high) and email the results to the user. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Just define the value for the variables before defining the value for
the message.
Note that $message has to use double quotes for the expansion. Also
consider using HEREDOC instead of the double quotes.
You may want to put your message in a text file and using the include
function.
Hi Stephen,
My message is in a text file, but I'm using fopen and fread in a self-defined
function, so message is actually defined as (GREETER_FILE is a defined
constant):
function print_greeting($user_name)
{
$handle = fopen(GREETER_FILE, r);
$message = fread($file_handle, filesize(GREETER_FILE));
$msg_text = str_replace(USER, $user_name, $message);
print($msg_txt);
}
And my text file is simply:
$cat greet.txt
Hello USER. How are you today?
If I change USER to $user_name in the text file and change the print function
parameter to $message, $user_name gets printed verbatim. In other words
the greeting on my page becomes:
Hello $user_name. How are you today?
I want to pass the name Nelson to the function, and have it output:
Hello Nelson. How are you today?
after the function reads in text file input that contains a variable
placeholder
for the user name. I actually had a HEREDOC in the function, and that worked.
But by reading a file instead, I can make things more flexible. I'd rather be
changing a text file instead of a code file.
I use the include(template) method for this alla time, it works
great. Most especially for HTML emails coming from a web site to a
group of users, just slick as anything. include does basically just
what your print_greeting function does less the actual printout, but
using php variables instead of a str_replace. Also, this way the
templates can be stored elsewhere, outside the actual code base if
need be.
This is exactly what I do. Dead simple fast and the templates are fully self
contained.

Re: [PHP] OT (maybe not): Drupal vs WordPress
On 2012-08-19, at 3:52 PM, l...@afan.net wrote: Hi to everyone, I was trying to figure this out for the last week or two. I have read tons of articles that compare Drupal and WordPress, but I still wasn't swayed to either side. I know that they are both good, both do the job well, and both have advantages and disadvantages. For example, Drupal has a steeper learning curve, but you get more control over the website. Most of Drupal vs WordPress articles are emotionally driven and it reminds me of the PC vs Apple flame war. I was trying to exclude these as much as I could but it's hard. Is there any website/article/benchmark/test/experiment/whatever I can trust to be unbiased? I need a website that measures the CMS' through facts, not heated, emotional arguments. In which cases is it better to use Drupal over WordPress (and vice-versa)? I know the first two words are going to be it depends, but let's talk about it in general (for small basic websites, more complex websites, easy customization, etc). I found this on one page: ... Drupal was built as a fine-grained multi-role system where you can assign different permissions to different roles to do different things (e.g. content editor, content reviewer, member, etc.) and assign users to these roles... Does that mean that WordPress can't do that? Maybe it can, and the quotation is true, but it is kind of misleading to say that one of the programs does something, and then not mention the other product at all. Special points for me are (not a must, though) - multiple websites with single core (both CMSs have the capability but I got impression Drupal does it better?) because of maintenance - compatibility with CiviCRM Once I decide what to use, I have to stick with it for a while. Thanks for any help. I think the one thing to remember is that Wordpress is at heart a blog. Drupal is a CMS. There are some serious scaling issues with Wordpress that I have seen that may become a issue for you. One thing you didn't mention is site load ( # of users ) and what the goal of the site is. If there are a number of essentially static pages and the rest of the work done by civicCRM, then maybe just code those pages in HTML and leave the rest to the civicCRM. But i would, based on the info above, consider Drupal more so.

in a book. I've been making progress lately, but one thing has me a
bit stumped.
In an HTML form that I am echoing through PHP I would like to embed
smaller chunks of php in the code like so:

If I do embed the smaller chunks of php in the form the way I've just
shown you the script instantly breaks and the web page shows only a

Subject: [PHP] Sorting Help
I need to sort the following array:
{
[Smith, Bob]=array(137.5,125.5),
[Jones, Robert]=array(132.7,128.2)
}
The array needs to be sorted by the first number (i.e. 137.5) and then the
second in descending order. I looked at array_multisort but couldn't figure
out how to make work for my needs.
Thanks!
Floyd
Here is what I did to your array
$test = array(Smith, Bob=array(137.5,125.5),Jones
Robert=array(132.7,128.2));
asort($test);
print_r('pre');
print_r($test);
That almost worked. I did an arsort() and got the following:
Array
(
[Guy, Matt] = Array
(
[0] = 164.67
[1] = 135.67
)
[Smith, Toby] = Array
(
[0] = 159.33
[1] = 132.33
)
[Young, Matt] = Array
(
[0] = 157.67
[1] = 131.67
)
[Shobe, Dale ] = Array
(
[0] = 157.67
[1] = 128.67
)
[King, Derrick] = Array
(
[0] = 155.67
[1] = 126.67
)
[Reynolds, Jeff] = Array
(
[0] = 155.67
[1] = 133.67
)
[Bobo, Tom] = Array
(
[0] = 152.33
[1] = 124.33
)
[Henderson, Cody] = Array
(
[0] = 150.33
[1] = 121.33
)
[McGuffin, Jimmy] = Array
(
[0] = 145.67
[1] = 118.67
)
[Stone, Richard] = Array
(
[0] = 145
[1] = 119.00
)
[Biggerstaff, David ] = Array
(
[0] = 142.33
[1] = 115.33
)
[Dennis, Daymon] = Array
(
[0] = 142
[1] = 114.00
)
[Bush, Duke] = Array
(
[0] = 141
[1] = 121.00
)
}
That's not the entire array but it sorts just fine except for two entries.
For some reason these two aren't sorting in descending order of the second
element:
[King, Derrick] = Array
(
[0] = 155.67
[1] = 126.67
)
[Reynolds, Jeff] = Array
(
[0] = 155.67
[1] = 133.67
)
Everything else sorts just fine. I'm not sure why that is.
Thanks!
Floyd
Check that you don't have a space in front of those values. That could cause
some confusion.

These calls to exec('convert [params]') take params from the end-user via a

The intention is that the end-user only runs this script on localhost, from

But unfortunately, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is my external IP, and

results from the previous query to get it's results. I need to do one of two
things, either out put a multidimensional array that I can use json_encode()
on or I have to format the output from the queries as a JSON string. The
resulting JSON will be used by a JavaScript widget and must be formed
correctly. I created the following array by hand:
$userList = array(John = array(

password = pass,

I ran it through json_encode() and got the following output
{John:{email:j...@demo.com,website:www.john.com,age:22,password:pass,description:{hair:blonde,eyes:blue,build:medium}},Anna:{email:a...@demo.com,website:www.anna.com,age:24,password:pass,description:{hair:brunette,eyes:hazel,build:petite}}}
jslint.com verifies this as good JSON (although I thought there had to be
square brackets around child arrays).
If you were me would you just generate the JSON? If not what is he best way
to output an array that will nest properly for each subsequent query?
Thanks for any insight!
Would it not be easier to get the data from a view which has the tables joined?
Then it would be one query and it's a simple matter to format the results into
the multi dimensional array then json?

Why discover the wheel, where there are so many qualified pros are
here that pick up their brains...
I'm building a php library of functions, I mean day to day functions
that eases my RAD.
Since I am new to PHP, I'm trying to wrap php's built-in-functions and
funtionalities into new function names of my own creation from my old
ASP library so that I can work within the new php environment - using
still the familiar function names and arguments ... for example, i had
a leftof function which worked as
leftof(abcef,bc) //returns ef
//which is the leftof the bc in the haystack abcdef.
That's the idea... I have over 100 functions that does all kinds of
things... the goal is to write those functions' php equaivalents. I'm
done with the string and utility functions, now I m getting into db
stuff!
My goal now is to write a one-liner sqlselect functionality which will
work like this
?php
_select(my_wordpress_database_name_here,SELECT * FROM wp_posts,$result);
//so that I can instantly get into business as follows;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo li . $row['post_title'];
}
basically, what the _select is supposed to do is to take the passed
database name, look that up in a switch statement to get the sql
server, db uid pwd info and run the whole show all the way until it
puts the results in the $result resource. And I'm already done with
that... I posted the code below... but I want to isolate the switch
statement ( that contains the sqlserver,uid,pwd data ) out from this
library file... I do not want to keep them in the library. ideally,
that info should be kept in say, connection_info.php file...
how would you go about it?
write an include directive ( for the switch section only) and
implement it that way? or is there a better way - such as using a
function for the switch?
please fell free to not only answer this question but also improve the
code segment I posted below. I will be using the principles I gain
from this thread in writing the update,delete and insert versions...
this is where I am now and following code snippet works as intended...
_select( wordpress_XYZ , SELECT * FROM wp_posts , $result );
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo li . $row['post_title'];
}
function _select($db_name,$sql,$result)
{
switch (bp_lcase($db_name))
{
case wordpress_XYZ;
$db_name = ; // this is usually the same as the 1st argument
passed by the user
$db_server = ;
$db_username = ;
$db_pass = ;
break;
case :
echo Unknown database.;
die;
break;
default:
echo Database name not passed;
die;
break;
}
$link = mysql_connect($db_server, $db_username, $db_pass) or
die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name, $link) or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query($sql,$link) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_close($link);
}
in the above code, ideally I would want to store the switch stuff
somewhere else... the question is what's the most elegant/proper way
of doing this...
now... that switch could be included as is from a plain file, that's
easy enough...
or it could be put into a function so that _select function internally
calls it and get the handle of the $link so that
mysql_select_db($db_name, $link) can run fine... in that case, should
the $link be passed $ by ref? any issues with that?
which approach is better? or are there other issues that I must be
aware of in starting building such a library?

[PHP] json_encode confusion
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.

believe the OP mentioned that the db is just telephone numbers so that
doesn't leave much room for filter-criteria.
Yes it is just phone numbers... The only select that I'm running on the
entire site is related to the pagination... A simple:
$sqlCount = SELECT COUNT(*) FROM main WHERE state = '{$state}';
which limits it to everything inside the state... Unfortunately if you look
at the possibilities, it's still quite a large dataset... 89 million :)
The rest of the query's will be much more limited to areacode, exchange,
and in some cases the full phone number... Maybe the better way to do it
would be not to count the records But set a variable with the total
count... That way I don't have to load all the data... The data amount
won't change alot... Easy enough to set a variable... Just need to see if
I can integrate that with the pagination...
Back to the drawing board! :)

The files need to go into the htdocs folder of the apache installation. They do no go in the php folder at all. You can also set the root directory in the httpd.conf file, the apache config, to place the root of the webserver elsewhere in your filesystem Bastien Koert 905-904-0334 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP installations, usage, and popularity

You see, I am pushing for a Web Development Certification program that would include PHP/MySQL as well as several other Web Languages (i.e., html, css, javascript, ajax). Currently the college teaches ASP in a regular course toward a IT Certification, but class attendance has dropped considerably -- no one wants to take the course. However, My PHP class has been maxed out. But my class is a special topic class and not part of the regular coursework that would go towards a Degree or Certification -- and that's where I would like this to go. As such, I need information regarding how wide-spread PHP is (i.e., number of installations), who's using it (i.e., companies, organizations), and how it compares with other Web Languages (i.e., ASP, Ruby, etc.). So, what say you? References will work.
