Re: [PHP] enabling domdocument
Ashley Sheridan wrote: OK, I seem to have answered my own question! It seems that even though PHP had the XML module enabled, I still needed to run 'yum update php-xml' in order for it to load in the DOM module. It's now working fine, and for those of you interested, the ./configure line in phpinfo() still says --disable-dom! Yes. I'm quite familiar with the rpm build process for php. The initial build of php is without support for any of the modules. Then the modules are built. So the configure command for the core php apache DSO has just about everything disabled. A nasty side effect of doing it this way - if you ever need to rebuild the src.rpm, either do it in a chroot build environment (such as mock) or be sure to remove all the old php packages - because what can happen is the new php is built but when it then goes to build the modules, it links them against installed php instead of the php it just built. They may have fixed that in the Makefile, I don't know, but the net result can be a set of rpms that are broken. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Stumped - MDB2 pgsql
I need to switch from MySQL (where everything is peachy) to Postgresql - reason I need to switch is I need to use PostGIS and I don't see a need to run two databases. I got Postgresql installed (stock CentOS / RHEL 5) and installed the postgresql php module and mdb2 driver. Restarted the web server. Did a MySQL dump, ran it through a perl script, and managed to get it load into Postgresql without any apparent hickups. I can connect to postgresql and issue queries and expected results are in fact returned. Made a user called webuser (what, you expect the real name to be disclosed here ??) in postgresql and gave it a password and access to the database. Updated the data/pg_hba.conf to add the following line: localmydbname webuser 127.0.0.1 password restarted the postgresql server. I *thought* that all I would then have to do is change my mdb2 dsn to reflect the new driver to use and then find parts of my code that are not standard enough SQL - but when I try to use anything, I get - Fatal error: Call to undefined method MDB2_Error::execute() in /path/to/blah on line 63 I'm missing something here. Here's my dsn - $dsn = array( 'phptype' = 'pgsql', 'username' = 'webuser', 'password' = 'secret', 'hostspec' = 'localhost', 'database' = 'mydbname'); What am I doing wrong? I get the same error no matter what I set username/password/hostspec/database to - so I think it is a basic connection error.

Hi,
I'm executing a third-parity standard PHP application on a Windows IIS 7

I need to convert, or use, a SMTP mailer service. I found two SMTP PHP
scripts - I think may work.
The sourceforge.net PHPMailer project and the pear.php.net (Mail,
Net_SMTP) project.
Can any body please help me choose one and probably give a code snip of

Currently, I'm leaning forward the PHPMailer, with little to base the
decision on.
Thanks in advanced,

I use phpmailer and find it to be painless and consistent.
I extend the class and call the extended class:
?php
require(class.phpmailer.php);
class MyMailer extends PHPMailer {
// Set default variables for all new objects
var $From = zon...@shastaherps.org;
var $FromName = Lampro P. Eltis;
var $ReplyTo = mpet...@mac.com;
var $Host = localhost;
var $Mailer = smtp; // Alternative to IsSMTP()
var $WordWrap = 75;
}
?
Then when I want to use it -
$mail = new MyMailer();
$mail-Subject = Some Subject;
$mail-Body = Some content;
if($mail-Send()) {
// it was successfully sent, code on success here
} else {
// there was an error, error code here
}
I never send HTML mail or attachments or bulk mail, but I believe it is
capable of doing them quite easily.
Tip: Whatever solution you use, set the wordwrap to something that works
well on an 80 char display. Some clients do not autowrap unwrapped
messages and other clients wrap for display but when replying, it
doesn't wrap.
I use 75 because it gives a little room for the that accompanies a
reply.

I use DOMDocument. It works best if the input file you are reading is UTF-8. It has some issues I haven't yet figured out related to namespaces, sometimes when loading perfectly valid XML that uses namespaces for import into another document, I lose the namespace and get default prepended to the node name. I do not understand why it feels it needs to do this, but it apparently does in some cases. For those cases, I currently use hackish workarounds where I remove the namespace with a preg_replace before import into the DOM and then add the namespace again using the DOM tools after it has been imported. Where I have run into this problem is MathML and SVG within XHTML when I cache the MathML/SVG as a string in APC for import into documents. It is not so much an issue with SVG in XHTML as SVG probably is best done as an object rather than directly embedded (but when generating SVG via DOMDocument I have a similar problem if I am using xlink namespace) but it is a problem with MathML which is usually done inline. It could just be that I'm doing things wrong, but the documentation isn't exactly full of working example code. So anyway, if you use namespaces, you may run into a few frustrating kinks, but DOMDocument is what I use, and it is very convenient because it is very similar to the JavaScript DOM2 methods (I believe intentionally). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] svg 2 gif/png
I'm moving all of my dynamic image generation to svg. Not only does it look better, but it is less resource intensive on my server allowing me to generate the svg on demand instead of pre-generating (via cron) twice a month like I had to do with gd dynamic generation. However, some browsers *cough*IE*cough* do not support SVG, so I still need png or gif fallback (I'll decide which after investigating size difference). Example SVG to convert - http://www.shastaherps.org/map/map22.svg Using convert from ImageMagick in the CLI is fast enough that I may just use the ImageMagick php module and do the fallback dynamic for the IE users, but I've run into a bit of a snag - it seems that ImageMagick doesn't understand xlink. IE running convert --size=800x574 map22.svg map22.png on above file results in a nice pretty map with the county and text, but the colored hexagons are not displayed. Is there an easy way around this? IE a php class/function that understands SVG w/ xlink and can replace the use tags with the polygons they refer to? If not, I'll have to try to write one, but I'd rather not ... Thanks for suggestions. It is too bad ImageMagick doesn't understand the use tag and xlink, that is one of the more useful features of SVG that I have personally found, makes dynamic generation so much easier. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] loadXML() and namespace
Michael A. Peters wrote:
It seems that if I use loadXML($string) and the $string has a namespace
defined in it, domdocument is nuking the namespace and changing the
nodenames from whatever to defaultwhatever.
Example -
math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML;
mrow
*snip*
/mrow
/math
would get changed to
defaultmath
defaultmrow
*snip*
/defaultmrow
/defaultmath
which of course breaks the page.
It seems to be related to the xml island concept of (x)html 5 where
for compatibility with IE and MathType etc. an xmlns is declared as an
attribute but a prefix isn't declared (IE no m:math).
To solve it, on the buffered string that gets imported I run:
function nsIsland($string) {
$search[] = /math\s([^xmlns]*)xmlns=[^\s]*/;
$replace[] = math $1;
return preg_replace($search,$replace,$string);
}
(I assume I may have to add a search/replace for svg) - then after
import I look for math nodes and add the xmlns attribute back to them,
and it seems to work.
A bit hackish, I'm guessing a future version of DOMDocument may take the
html5 xml island into consideration, but this works now.

However, if the function is allowed to continue, the imported div has
carriage returns between each and every /spanspan which of course
completely breaks the browser display because they are inside a
pre/pre node.
Anyone know why importNode does this and how to fix it?
The only (untried) solution I can think of is to replace each carriage
return with a br / and every space with #160; and then replace the
pre with a div class='monospace' or some such hackery before running
loadXML() on it. But I would rather not do that.
php 5.2.12 built against libxml 2.6.26
Found the solution - the problem was where Text/Highlighter.php was
putting the newline in the code it generates.
$out = preg_replace(/span class=\hl-code\\n/,\nspan
class=\hl-code\,$out);
fixes the issue, I don't have to set
$dom-formatOutput = false;
to avoid broken display now.
I think it's a DOMDocument bug, well, maybe, it shouldn't do any
modifications with newlines inside a pre node with formatOutput - but I
suppose it has no way of knowing what the pre node is use for since html
5 doctype doesn't identify itself as html.
But anyway, that preg_replace fixes it.
I may send a demo of problem and patch to the pear Text/Highlighter.php
maintainer so that the preg_replace isn't needed.

Basically it splits the file up into chunks (as it encodes it but encoding isn't your concern) and when a chunk is received, message is sent back to the client telling the client it is OK to send the next chunk. It may be dependent upon browser functionality though, since it is the browser that splits the large upload into smaller manageable chunks. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] loadXML() and namespace
It seems that if I use loadXML($string) and the $string has a namespace defined in it, domdocument is nuking the namespace and changing the nodenames from whatever to defaultwhatever. Example - math xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML; mrow mrow msup mix/mi mn2/mn /msup mo+/mo mrow mn4/mn mo/mo mix/mi /mrow mo+/mo mn4/mn /mrow mo=/mo mn0/mn /mrow /math would get changed to defaultmath defaultmrow defaultmrow defaultmsup defaultmix/defaultmi defaultmn2/defaultmn /defaultmsup defaultmo+/defaultmo defaultmrow defaultmn4/defaultmn defaultmo/defaultmo defaultmix/defaultmi /defaultmrow defaultmo+/defaultmo defaultmn4/defaultmn /defaultmrow defaultmo=/defaultmo defaultmn0/defaultmn /defaultmrow /defaultmath which of course breaks the page. So it seems I need to somehow tell loadXML() about the namespace so it doesn't do that, but I'm not having much luck with the php manual, DOMDocument documentation seems a little on the not written side. When I create the nodes and add them to the dom via domdocument it works fine, but the issue is I like to cache the content div as a string and load it when the page is requested (stuff outside the content div needs to be dynamic and not cached) but this namespace issue prevents that. Any tips would be appreciated, caching makes a huge difference. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] optional object arguments to a function
I've started working on a class using DOMDocument to assemble MathML in
php. The class, assuming I actually succeed, will eventually be used for
parsing LaTeX math equations to MathML without the need to have TeX
installed. I probably won't be able to support all the possibilities for
equations that LaTeX does w/o a TeX install (and definitely not user
defined macros) but I suspect I can (hopefully) cover most of the common
stuff.
One thing I don't know how to do, though, is write a function where
arguments are optional object.
IE for a function to generate an integral, the limits are optional but
if specified must be an object (since they may be an equation
themselves). I want the default to be some kind of a null object so I
know to do nothing with it if it is null.
With string/integer you just do
function foo($a='',$b='',$c=false) {
}
How do I specify a default null object, or otherwise make the argument
argument optional?

I do not mind script/flash blockers (and will never use flash ads because of how many behave poorly and do things like expand to cover content or flash at high rates giving headaches and possibly even causing seizures) but I know people use ad blockers, so I host the ad images myself which seems to neuter them, but I would never use something like ad until someone paid me to, and it would have to cover costs (which are not covered even right now even with ads).

I should also point out that when all your js is external (as it should
be) rather than inline, using an id tag makes it much easier to modify
the DOM client side.
Yes, you can do document.getElementsByTagName('whatever').item(n) if you
know what item the node will happen to be in the nodelist, but if you
don't know, then you have to look at other characteristics of the node
to find out which node in the list you want.

There was no valid reason for them to require JavaScript for that, I do not mind allowing JavaScript for local server if the site is of value to me but the fact that they used JavaScript for a submit button in a form that had two very standard fields told me that they did not know what they are doing, indicating they probably did not have their site properly protected from XSS injection, and I'm not going to white list a web site that I have reason to suspect may not have proper server side protection against XSS injection.

couple off topic recommondations?
1) Use loadXML() instead of loadHTML()
The reason is that loadHTML() will mutilate multibyte utf8 characters,
replacing them with entities.
You can still use $dom-saveHTML() to present the data if html is your
target output.
2) loadXML() is less forgiving of malformed content, but you can fix
that by using tidy to import your data
$website_data = new tidy('dom_test.html',$tidy_config);
$website_data-cleanRepair();
$dom-loadXML($website_data);
where
$tidy_config is the tidy configuration array.
Make sure you set
$tidy_config['output-xhtml'] = true;
so that the output of tidy is clean X(ht)ML for loadXML().

$code =?php . \n\n;
$code .=require_once('/path/to/something'); . \n;
$code .=function somefunc(\$myfoo,\$mybar) { . \n;
$code .= \$myfoobar = \$myfoo . \$mybar; . \n;

$code .=? . \n;
$fooTest = syntaxHighlight($dom,'PHP',$code);

If I uncomment the die($out) - I get what I expect spit to the screen,
view source shows code that will do what I want.
If instead I uncomment die($foo) - I also get what I expect spit to
screen. view source shows code that will do what I want.
However, if the function is allowed to continue, the imported div has
carriage returns between each and every /spanspan which of course
completely breaks the browser display because they are inside a
pre/pre node.
Anyone know why importNode does this and how to fix it?
The only (untried) solution I can think of is to replace each carriage
return with a br / and every space with #160; and then replace the
pre with a div class='monospace' or some such hackery before running
loadXML() on it. But I would rather not do that.

tedd
These are my basic guidelines - what I like to do.
It may not be the best thing for every type od web site.
1) I have a user database that has username and a password hash. The
password itself is never stored.
The password hash is sha1sum(strtolower($username) . $salt . $password)
The salt is something like 5dgudsdgh5673g and should be stored as a
private variable in your user authentication class.
The reason I have the username there to is because some passwords are
very popular, using the username when generating the hash ensures that
two users with identical password will have different hashes. This is
important if an sql injection attack ever manages to get a dump of your
user database.
You should protect against sql injection by using prepared statements
for any database query that involves user submitted data (such as
username and password) but you still want to make sure that hashes are
unique, and you do that by adding the username to the salt.
When a user successfully logs in, the unique id of the user is then
stored as a session variable.
For administrative tasks, in addition to requiring that the user be
logged in to an account with admin privileges, all administrative tasks
are in a directory that is protected by apache authentication.
So to get to those kind of pages, the user has to have a
username/password that is stored in a .htpasswd file for Apache to let
them in AND they have to be logged in as a user that has been
authenticated as an administrative user.
I personally do all login via https so that username/password combos are
never sent plain text. That's more expensive because you need to
purchase a SSL certificate. You can use self-signed but it is better to
use an SSL certificate from a certificate authority.
For session security, I have the following directives set in my php.ini
file:
session.use_only_cookies = 1
- That prevents the session id from being sent via get.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
- That instructs the browser to delete the cookie when the browsing
session ends.
session.cookie_httponly = 1
- That theoretically denies access to the cookie from scripting
languages. I say theoretically because when testing my site for XSS
security, I was initially able to get some XSS attacks to display my
session id (tested in firefox 2 w/o noscript - noscript blocked it even
with the domain allowed), so they were getting it somehow.
Since I have secure login which is a different domain from main domain,
in my web app itself I set
if (file_exists('/srv/path/DEVEL')) {
ini_set(session.cookie_domain,.mydomain.devel);
} else {
ini_set(session.cookie_domain,.mydomain.org);
}
That way, secure.mydomain.org (which is used for login) uses the same
session variable as www.mydomain.org (used for rest of site) so that
when the user logs in, the session variable that specifies the user on
the non secure domain gets updated when the user logs in on the secure
domain.
There are several good php books that discuss session security and php
web applications. I don't remember which books I used when learning my
technique, but it would be a good idea to buy or borrow some recent
books on php web application design.

Re: [PHP] Foreign Characters Break in MySQL
Ashley Sheridan wrote:
You're also forgetting one of the most important elements of this. If
you're displaying the characters on a web page, chances are that you
need to add a corresponding meta tag to inform the browser that the
content is utf-8
meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=UTF-8/
Otherwise the browser will attempt to guess from the first few
characters of output, and because of the large headers in some websites,
will guess completely wrong.
Just to add - I had to deal with this, I think I got it right now but
I'm not positive.
My /etc/my.cnf file has the following:
default-character-set=utf8
That way I don't have to remember to specify the charset when I create a
new table.
If you don't have control over that file (IE shared host) when you
create your database tables, I believe you need to do
SET character_set_client = utf8;
before your create table commands.
You should also send the charset in a header, IE
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
but for html you also need to have the meta tag as mentioned because if
the page is saved to disk, there's no other way for a browser to know
the charset (and if it isn't there, w3c validator complains).
proper xhtml doesn't need the meta tag because it has the charset in the
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
that opens a proper xhtml document.
If the charset isn't set, then any information sent via post will
probably be sent using whatever charset the operating system uses by
default, so setting the charset to utf-8 is important for pages that are
forms as well as pages that display data.
I'm by no means an expert, that's just what I had to do to get
Aneides iëcanus
to properly display.
I already was doing the utf-8 for the web pages, but MySQL defaults to a
different character set - I consider it a CentOS bug, they should have
shipped with my.cnf set to utf-8 IMHO because just about everything else
in the OS is utf-8 by default, but I pulled my hair out for half an hour
trying to figure out why it wasn't working when the reason was the
default charset of the MySQL client used to initially create the
database table.

I also like to run any content that has user contributed data through a server side filter that enforces Content Security Policy - http://www.clfsrpm.net/xss/ That filter makes sure the content sent to the browser does not include stuff that violates the defined CSP, and thus greatly reduces the risk of malicious content that input filtering missed from reaching the end user. Furthermore, when it does catch a violation, it reports the violating to a log file notifying me of the problem. The only way that works for content generated client side would be if the user was running a browser that is CSP aware, and right now, they just don't exist. Firefox has an experimental add-on for CSP but virtually no one uses it. Doing dynamic content server side allows me to run that content through the enforcement filter server side thus catching policy violating content before it is ever sent to the user. That itself, btw, is probably the biggest stress on the server. I understand prototype etc. is the web 2.0 way but I really don't have a high opinion of Web 2.0. JavaScript, flash, etc. all have been used far too often to do bad things. Right now, if I don't block except for white listed web sites, I end up with advertisements I don't care about expanding and covering the content I do care about. Unfortunately the web is full of jerks who do rude things with scripts, and people who do malicious things with scripts. You wouldn't execute code that someone you don't know sent you an e-mail, would you? I wouldn't, nor do I execute code someone I don't know embeds in a web page. I surf with script blockers (NoScript to be specific) and when I come upon web sites that don't properly function, I'm a lot liklier to head elsewhere than to enable scripting for that site.

My understanding is that 32 bit php has a lower limit in 1901 and upper limit in 2038 for the date function. Is there a pcre / pecl / other wrapper that behaves identical to the date function but uses a 64 bit float in 32 bit php? Yes, the right thing to do is probably to use 64 bit, and if I could I would. A wrapper that just passes it off to date on 64 bit systems and to date on 32 bit systems within what data can handle and only does its magic on 32 bit systems with values beyond 32-bit date capabilities would be sweet. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] php and XML BibTeX
Hi - Currently on my web site, book and article references are just stored in the database. While it works, I actually would like to move that out of the database and to an XML file, the reason being is that if/when I need to add fields etc. to the referenced sources, it's a lot easier to just edit a text file than modify database and recode my form interface for modifying the database. Also, there's an existing XML format for bibTeX and there already are tools to go from that to real bibTex, which I may need to do at some point. What I'm hoping is that already exists some php classes / functions for dealing with the XML bibTeX but I haven't found them.

What's the entire XML document? You need a xmlns declaration as Query

I have run into documents that use a namespace without properly defining it.
Seems fairly common in data sets from academic sources (IE vertebrate

[PHP] curl spider and being a good citizen
I'm writing a custom search engine for my site, it seemed easier than
modifying sphyder (what I currently use) to do what I want especially
since sphyder has a lot of stuff that isn't personally of use to me.
One of the things I want to do when I index is list external links and
check them.
The idea is to have curl download just the headers but not content from
external links.
This is what I have as part of my class to do that -
function meta($url) {
$process = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $this-headers);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $this-user_agent);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$fetch = curl_exec($process);
$return[] = curl_getinfo($process, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
$meta = split(';',curl_getinfo($process, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE));
$return[] = $meta[0];
curl_close($process);
return $return;
}
I am under the impression that
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
does what I want - but the curl docs can be confusing.
Will that work to just download the headers needed to get the http
status code and mime type w/o grabbing content?
And secondly, will making 40 or so connections to the same remote site
just to grab headers but not content (there are two I link to quite a
bit with permission) to check for moved files possibly cause issues with
their server software? It doesn't seem to for me (Apache on Linux) but
that's me, and I'm not positive curl stopped the download after getting
last http header.
Pages on those sites do move as taxonomy moves and the people in charge
don't seem to keep 301 moved redirects in place when they reorganize, so
I do need to check with some frequency, but I don't want to cause problems.
Thanks for suggestions.

[PHP] Download Wrapper
I'm using flowplay (flash) for embedded audio/video.
Initially I was using html5 w/ flowplay as fall back, but I stopped
because flowplay is better than html5 on browsers that support html5.
Anyway - I also am making direct links to the media available as mp4/ogm
and mp3/ogg.
The problem is browsers would often try to handle the media themselves
instead of letting it download - so I made a wrapper php script that
sends the right headers -
header(Content-type: . $mime);
header(Content-Disposition: attachment; filename= . $thispage);
header(Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary);
Browsers now do the right thing and let the media download, but there is
no estimate on when the download the will complete.
I'm guessing I need to send a header with the content length for them to
do that?
This is the function I use (stolen from web) to send the media:
define('CHUNK_SIZE', 1024*1024);
function readfile_chunked($filename, $retbytes = TRUE) {
$buffer = '';
$cnt =0;
// $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
$handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
if ($handle === false) {
return false;
}
while (!feof($handle)) {
$buffer = fread($handle, CHUNK_SIZE);
echo $buffer;
ob_flush();
flush();
if ($retbytes) {
$cnt += strlen($buffer);
}
}
$status = fclose($handle);
if ($retbytes $status) {
return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.
}
return $status;
}
Can someone suggest an improvement that will send the content length?
Looking around I see this used with images:
$length = strlen($imagedata);
header('Content-Length: '.$length);
Is that good enough?

[PHP] Developer Question [DOMDocument]
I'm hoping someone who knows the answer to this question is on this list. I need to modify either libxml2 and/or php DOMDocument to make a small change. Issue - saveHTML() function predates html5 (which isn't even finalized yet) and thus does not know about it's tags. the source element is new in html5 and may not have any children, so when using saveHTML() from DOMDocument, it should NOT add a closing /source tag (it should be handled the same way the param element is handled). It does the right thing with saveXML() where it properly self closes the tag, but it does not do the right thing with saveHTML(). I suspect it is a minor easy to do change, but I don't even have the foggiest idea where to look in the source to make a patch. It's not all that big of a deal, but I would like my server to spit out the correct code without me having to pass it through preg_replace.
