You get $b[0] = $a[1], and so on (as you would expect).
Wouldn't that be $b[0] = $a[0], with the value of $i being 1 *after* the
statement was finished executing? You used a post-decrement operator on $i
at the end of your statement, so I don't think that $i would be increased
before being used to index into the $a array.

I'm sorry if my opinion seems a little too black and white, but those are the breaks.

From within a php script, it's not a problem to encrypt a text string and send it as email. The sending of the email and the encrypting the contents are two different issues. You may want to look at it that way. But can it be done so the recipient's email client will automatically open and decrypt the message? How do you make it as seamless as possible for them, preferably so they don't even realize the message was encrypted? At some point both parties (sender/receiver) must know (agree) what the encrypting mechanism is. If I was writing a script to do this for a client, I must have control over both the send and receive scripts and then I could deliver the email to the client seamlessly. They would never know what happened in the background. However, if your client wants to send stuff to anyone and have it encrypted without knowing who the receiver is going to be, then there is no way to do this. Both the sender and receiver must agree on the encrypting mechanism either by providing passwords OR by you having access to both the sending and receiving scripts. As I see it, there is no other way. These will be targeted emails for selected recipients, primarily in the Security and Public Safety offices. But they will be sent via public mail servers, so the content must be protected. Knowing the first site where this would go for field trials, I suspect most recipients are using some version of Microsoft Outlook. But other sites down the road are likely to have different clients. That end is completely outside of my control or influence. All I can do is recommend packages for them to download and install.

your PHP installation.

David, please refrain from top-posting.
As for cURL login/session handling... I have an automated script that
connects to a phpBB bulletin board, and here are the settings that
have worked for me:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, {$homedir}cookiefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, {$homedir}cookiefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, session_name() . '=' . session_id());

Hi,
Sorry, that didn't work. The website is still returning error 400 with
CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION and CURLOPT_COOKIE enabled.
I did some experimentation in Firefox by blocking and deleting all
cookies
from the site. When I then visited the site, I was able to reach the
logon
page without returning error 400 so I doubt it's cookies that is the
problem.
I also tried changing the HTTP headers to:
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Which didn't work either.
Thanks
Does the site require a valid HTTP_REFERER? I haven't seen
CURLOPT_REFERER in any of your examples. (If I missed it somewhere,
just ignore the noise.)
Have you set your CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE properly? Also--you may need to
unlink() it before you log-in using your cURL script to make sure that
any invalid cookie values (i.e., expired session ID) are cleared out.
unlink({$homedir}cookiefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, {$homedir}cookiefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, {$homedir}cookiefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, session_name() . '=' . session_id());
...
(where $homedir is /home/haliphax/ or some such value.)

This is where I need your help, my partner and I have been thinking about the system that the website should run on. We came to conclusion that we are going to write it in PHP. There are several issues that came up during the mind-storm: First, how we can keep the files out of being published as direct links? My first idea was to host them one directory up from the http directory. It seems good but how I would deliver the files to the users? We are talking about unlimited file-size hosting so that means that we will have to stream the files somehow... and they will be BIG (it's defendant, about 700MB~ each) We thought of letting users pay by SMS'es, whats your ideas about it? I'm generally looking after a do and NOT do list of creating a file hoster ;) If you have any general ideas / precautions that would definitely make my partner and I happy :) With files of that size and the transfer speed of most broadband users, you will almost absolutely have to use a Flash/Java uploader app in order to ensure the files finish before server/browser timeout. As far as hiding them from being accessed directly, I think you're right--the file itself will have to be outside of your web root. I would probably use a middle system to grab a request from your page, verify that it did in fact come from your page (maybe with a time-sensitive hash value) and then retrieve the file's contents based on the validity of that hash value.

So, something like this would work better IMHO WHERE UPPER(LEFT(a.last_name, 1)) = 'A'; or WHERE a.last_name ILIKE 'A%'; would do the trick or select * from books b inner join book_authors c on (b.id=c.bookId) where c.authorId in ( select id from authors where left(last_name='A') Again... SELECT id FROM authors WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1) = 'A') but yet again, case-sensitive...

My point was that time() gives you seconds since the UNIX epoch, whereas microtime(true) will give you more accurate results if you are looking to benchmark a script. If your script takes a few minutes and you don't really care about measuring those milli/micro seconds, then time() should suit your needs just fine. However, if your script can perform an iteration in less than one second, you have already eliminated the usefulness of time() for benchmarks. -- // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

$duration = $end_time - $start_time;

Don't forget--microtime() without the boolean true as an argument

Mysql does not re-use id's (nor does any other db as far as I'm aware, and
nor should it). I don't know where you got that idea from.
mysql create table test (id int auto_increment not null primary key, name
text);

mysql insert into test(name) values
('one'),('two'),('three'),('four'),('five'),('six'),('seven'),('eight'),('nine'),('ten');
Query OK, 10 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 10 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

mysql select * from test;

| 11 | eleven |
| 8 | eight |

+++
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The physical order of the rows changed (as you can see) but it does not
re-use the id's that were deleted.
Ordering by the id will get you the last bunch inserted.
If you're using innodb you'll have to be aware it's transaction specific, if
you're using myisam it will be system wide.
I'll have to check my DBs then, because the exact situation I
described happened to me a few years back when I was first getting
into the DB scene. Regardless, I'm fairly certain the MSSQL box we

Shawn,
First thing I see--your first capture group doesn't include the $, and
so your final capture group will always fail given your current $out
(because it's looking for {/sites} instead of {/$sites}). Also, your
{} are outside of your capture group in \1, but inside in \3. Here's
what I came up with:
$out = '
{$sites}
tr
td
{Site.id}
/td
/tr
{/$sites}';
$matches = array();
preg_match_all('#{(\$[^}]+)}(.*?){(/\1)}#s', $out, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Produces this:
Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = {$sites}
tr
td
{Site.id}
/td
/tr

)
[1] = Array

(
[0] =

book table except for the id, which I do not specify as it if
auto-insert.
In subsequent tables I have to reference the book.id (for transitional
tables like book_author(refers authors to book) etc.
If I understand it correctly, I must retrieve (SELECT
LAST_INSERT_ID()) after the first INSERT and before the following
insert; and save the id as a string ($id)...e.g. $sql = SELECT
LAST_INSERT_ID() AS $id
I need clarification on the AS $id - should this be simply id(does
this have to be turned into a value into $id or does $id contain the
value? And how do I retrieve it to use the returned value for the next
$sql = INSERT ... - in other words, is the id or $id available for
the
next directive or do I have to do something like $id = id?
I'm trying to figure this out with some trials but my insert does not
work from a php file - but it works from command-line... that's
another
post.
Here's how I mostly do it (albeit simplified):
$query = INSERT INTO `sometable`(`title`,`content`)
VALUES('$title','$content');
$result = mysql_query($query);
$autoId = mysql_insert_id($result);
$query = INSERT INTO `another_table`(`link_id`,`value`)
VALUES($autoId,'$value');
$result = mysql_query($query);
No need to call another query to retrieve the last inserted id, as
it is
tied to the last query executed within this session.

For some reason or other $autoId = mysql_insert_id($result); just does
not work for me... Yet some of the data is inserted correctly...
I did find that it does not work on tables that are empty... so you
can't start with an empty table. I entered data it still did not work.
I tried on another duplicate database... doesn't work.
I have checked double checked the database, I have added checks to see
what is returned and the returns are 0 or null - as I get different
responses for slightly different functions.

Consider the CakePHP structure: /var/www/ .htaccess index.php /var/www/webroot index.php If you browse to http://example.com/ (in most cases), one of 2 things happens: 1. The webserver opens the /var/www/.htaccess and according to the rewrite rules there it rewrites to /var/www/webroot/. So any getcwd() would be /var/www/webroot/ 2. If not using modrewrite, the web server looks for index.html and then index.php in /var/www/ which has a require for webroot/index.php. So any getcwd() would be /var/www/. Consequently, CakePHP and the other frameworks that I've seen use basename() and dirname() in conjunction with __FILE__ to define the paths/relative dirs within the app. Come to think of it, this may very well be true for all MVC frameworks (unless the models, views, and controllers are all in the same directory as the launch script). I can at least vouch for the fact that CodeIgniter, like CakePHP, will fudge your directory estimation if you're expecting getcwd() to be right. Something Stewart said the other day made me realise that there was a fundamental error in the way I was thinking about this question. I had been thinking that opendir (.) opened the root directory, and that paths such as Joe/Nurg.com were relative to the root directory, but I now realise that they are relative to the current directory, whatever that might be. (Yes; I should have known better, but there is an awful swamp of burnt out brain cells at the bottom of my brain.) So the question I should have asked was When a web page is loaded, can I rely on the CWD being the directory containing index.php (or whichever file is actually loaded)? I believe the answer was No, not really, from several different people. -- // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It uses set_time_limit() to extend the time it is allowed to run. The script generates thumbnails from a list of images. Upon completion, the script redirects the browser to another page using HTTP headers. If you die() at the end of the script and don't redirect does it continue this auto-30-seconds execution? On my local machine (Windows + EasyPHP), the script runs as expected and completes after a few minutes. I observe an unexpected behavior on my production web server: - The script runs as expected for the first 30 seconds. - After 30 seconds, the same script with the same parameters starts again in a new thread/process. The initial thread/process is *not* interrupted, so 2 threads/processes run in parallel, executing the same sequence of operations with a 30 time shift. - The same scenario happens every 30 seconds (i.e.: at 030, 100, 130, and so on), multiplying the parallel threads/processes. - The browser keeps on loading while the above happens. - After some time, the browser displays a blank page and all the threads/processes stop. I assume this is due to resources exhaustion, but I have no means to check this assumption. I deduced the above reading a text file in which I log the sequence of called functions. It all seems as a redirection / unclosed loop problem. Unfortunately I have no access *at all* to my production web server configuration (shared hosting, no documentation).

my syntax is wrong although I have tried various combinations). So, is

whether you are using single quotes ( ' ) or double quotes ( ) in
your echo statements!
$var = 'asdf';
echo 'hey, $var'; // hey, $var
echo hey, $var; // hey, asdf
...and if you're using single or double quotes elsewhere (i.e.,
assignment operations)...
$var = 'asdf';
$othervar = 'blah$var'; // blah$var
$anothervar = blah$var; // blahasdf
$yetanothervar = blah{$var}blah; // blahasdfblah
Double quotes, when not using echo, can still parse variables for you.

I think you'll probably have to use an ORDER BY clause in your query,
and only output a new book name when it changes during iteration. For
instance:
1. grab book categories (book id, book name, category id, category
name) with a JOIN
2. set last book name to (empty string)
3. for each row in the result set

Hi Nathan,
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. It is working fine for an example code I
have used to test it. The code I have written after your suggestion is as
follows.
?php
$location=C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\htdocs\Bldgs_lots\SQUIRES.jpg;
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg(imagecreatefromjpeg($location));
?
The above code is yielding me a picture. Now, When I tried to use it in
my
original code it is not giving me the image. Instead it is giving me this
warning *Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already
sent
by (output started at C:\wamp\www\mysqli.php:65) in
*C:\wamp\www\mysqli.php*
on line *221*
and a lot binary characters again instead of the image. I know something
about this warning that we should not output anything to the browser
before
the header. But I cannot do that, since I need the user input using a

form and I use the input to fetch the data and dispaly it in a table

Anyway, since I'm already writing this, I'll say that overhead/bloat vs. productivity of the developer is a trade-off you're going to have to make for ANY of the frameworks out there. I disagree somewhat. A good framework should actually reduce bloat. It encourages you to implement proper MVC architecture, helps you avoid those rambling function.php files, and if it's well built, things like DB connectivity should already be optimised. I like CI because it does all of that fairly well, and tends to perform faster than something some coder (like myself) hacked together in the smallest time-frame possible. I use it on some pretty big sites - one with DB's with 10's of millions of records, and one site with over 1.5 million users a month. Personal thumbs up for CI, but use whatever suits your skill level, timeframe and requirements. Some frameworks will increase bloat, but sometimes that's worth it to get the project out the door in a given timeframe. If you're doing a blog on caring for chickens, throw it up in an hour with WordPress. If you're planning on being the next NY Times, WordPress will not be a kind mistress. There are down sides to CI too, but it suits my needs for the types of sites I produce. Framework = Overhead (when compared to vanilla PHP). Period. I'm not saying it's overhead that will cripple your application, or that frameworks should be avoided... quite the contrary, in fact. I have recently fallen in love with CodeIgniter myself--I'm just saying that one should be at least respectfully aware of the overhead that comes hand-in-hand with a(ny) framework, and weigh those against what you feel is acceptable for your purpose. -- // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you can't configure it to SuExec (check Google for some ideas on this you'll need root access), you could use the less-secure (this, not recommended) options of changing the file mode permissions to 0777 or change the file ownership (if you have the right permissions yourself) to be owned by the same user and/or group as which Apache runs. It may sound a little confusing at first glance, but it's really not.

George, if you are using IIS as your web server, PHP will be executed (by default, anyway) under the IUSR_your computer name user account (pre-Vista).

I guess I ought to be able to put a PHP server plus a copy of my website on it for demonstration purposes, but has anyone actually tried it, and if so are there any traps to avoid? Maybe I'm dense or I don't understand your question. It sounds like you want to run lighttpd or apache on this USB device in order to serve up your website. If so, then the device would have to be assigned a separate IP address from the machine it's mounted on. Someone would have to be able to surf to that IP at least, much less have the IP address translated into a name. Otherwise, there's no way a web server can serve up a website; it has to have an IP address. I don't know how you'd possibly do that. Even then, you'd have to mount the device and then issue a separate call to the USB-hosted web server to start, and then serve your site up. 127.0.0.1 and name localhost should suffice. You might want to use a non-standard port so that it doesn't conflict with anything else the machine is running. I've been running XAMPP and even Eclipse from my USB key for well over a year now.

I am trying to do some checks if there are entries in the db so I can
then insert the right stuff. And I'm looking for ways to simplify things.
I probably dont understand the flow of things here, but this almost
works. :-\
$Author = $first_nameIN . ' ' . $last_nameIN;
echo $Author;
$sql1 = SELECT CONCAT_WS( , first_name, last_name) as Author FROM
author WHERE Author LIKE '$Author';
$result1 = mysql_query($sql1);
this would be instead of
$sql1 = SELECT first_name, last_name) FROM author WHERE (first_name
LIKE 'first_nameIN' last_nameIN LIKE 'last_nameIN')
Personally, I would avoid using the CONCAT_WS() MySQL function in your
query, since you're just checking for existence rather than inserting
records (for efficiency and scalability's sake). Also--why are you
using LIKE if you're checking for a particular first and last name?
Why not just use the equality operator (=)? And... be careful
alternating quote styles in your SQL statements. The double-quotes (
) following CONCAT_WS( will end your string.
Also... I may be wholly wrong on this one, but I'm not sure MySQL uses
C-style syntax for comparisons (, ||, !=) but rather BASIC-style
syntax (AND, OR, NOT/). Again, I'm not sure about this. Maybe that
part works just fine.
I would go about it like this:
$sql1 = select concat_ws(' ', first_name, last_name) as Author_Name
from author where first_name = '$first_nameIN' and last_name =
'$last_nameIN';
You still get your pretty output (concatenated first and last name),
but you're checking the indexed columns individually rather than
combining them first, like you did in your second statement. However,
in your second statement, you did not prefix your PHP variable names
with $, so you were literally checking against the strings
'first_nameIN' and 'last_nameIN'.
Hope this helps,

Phil, you don't want to use an INSERT if you're just updating an
existing row. You can't do an INSERT and use the current row's values
(book.id/book_id/whatever) in your insert, since there IS no current
row. I'm assuming what you're trying to do is add a record to an
associative table that links Categories to Books, but only if that
Book title matches your $title string.
Try this:
foreach($categoriesIN as $category)
$sql = update book_categories set category = '$category' where
book_id in (select id from book where title = '$titleIN');
If that's not what you're going for, and you just wanted to update
something's category, try this:
foreach($categoriesIN as $category)
$sql = update book_categories set category = '$category' where
book_id = '$somevalue';

I think it's because you're referencing the capture group with index

Grabs the correct match:

The regex pattern works with the pipe char, but it is unnecessary and
may lead to some strange behavior.

Thank you Todd, I also want to capture when I don't have the www in the
beginning of the URL.
For instance, try to execute your code with
$orig = 'http://zshare.net/video/541070871c7a8d9c';
That's why I used (www\.|), but I'm not a regex expert and I'm sure there a
way better solutions to this problem.
http://www.regular-expressions.info is your best friend. Spend an
afternoon playing around on it... that's really the only advantage I
have over someone who hasn't.
Anyway, you can make that entire group optional with the ? character like so:
#http://(www\.)?zshare\.net/video/([^/]+)#
And if you don't want it to be captured, making the URL suffix index 1
instead of index 2, do this:
#http://(?:www\.)?zshare\.net/video/([^/]+)#
Any group that begins with ?: will not be captured in a match index. To recap:
$pattern = '#http://(?:www\.)?zshare\.net/video/([^/]+)#';
$orig = 'http://zshare.net/video/541070871c7a8d9c';
$matches = array();
preg_match($pattern, $orig, $matches);
echo $matches[1] . \n;
$orig = 'http://www.zshare.net/video/541070871c7a8d9c';
preg_match($pattern, $orig, $matches);
echo $matches[1] . \n;
Produces this output:
541070871c7a8d9c
541070871c7a8d9c

Hmmm, maybe I'm chasing my own tail...
following the trail of execution is tough... :'(
I'm trying to enter a new book into the database and that means I have
to enter the info for the relational tables as well.
I think I stumbled here a bit as what I need is the id that is inserted
in the db before inserting this category stuff.
As I look at the code, it looks like i have to find the
last-entered-id for the book that is being entered.
Well, there are two ways you can do that with PHP/MySQL. First, you
can do it on the DB server. Second, you can do it in PHP after your
insert query has been performed.
MySQL:
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();
PHP:
mysql_query(insert into tablename(foo, bar) values('foo', 'bar');, $db);
echo mysql_insert_id();
If you're just trying to tie a book to existing categories, I would
insert the book and then separately insert the records in the
associative table (book_categories).
Pseudocode:
insert book into book table
grab last inserted id with mysql_insert_id()
for each category book is a part of
{
insert book (via last inserted id) and category IDs into book_categories
}
If you're trying to insert a book and a category and then link them
together, I would do this:
Pseudocode:
insert book into book table
grab last inserted book id with mysql_insert_id()
insert category into category table
grab last inserted category id with mysql_insert_id()
insert last book and last category IDs into book_categories
Hope this helps,

test.js is only a few lines long, and if I remove the header content type

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 :)
Well, have you tried using Content-Type: text/javascript as
suggested? Is application/x-javascript absolutely necessary for
whatever application is reading your script's output? As it has
already been mentioned, Apache may be looking for your content type in
some sort of lookup table, not finding it, and taking its sweet time
returning control back to PHP while it grabs at straws to match.

Hi all,
This is my first post to the list. Have been observing for a few weeks and
have learnt a lot.
I am having an issue in one of my scripts where using the
mysql_real_escape_string function is stripping content out of my input data.
All is working well on my local installation, but when the files are
transferred over to the live site I am getting problems.
The sample code I am using to test this is as follows:
if(isset($this-mysql)) {
$query = update pages set;
$query .= `title` = ' . mysql_real_escape_string ($title) . ',;
$query .= `text` = ' . mysql_real_escape_string ($text) . ',;
$query .= where id = \$id\;
}
echo $query;
The $title, $text and $id values are passed in as parameters when I call the
method that runs the update, and if I echo them out at the top of the method
they are all present and correct.
The $mysql class variable is populated with a connection handle when I
instantiate an instance of the class, and the code is finding the connection
as it is building the query. On my local machine the query is built using
the escaped values from the $_POST array, but on the live site the escaped
values for $title and $text are blank.
Any ideas on where to look for config differences? The main thing I've found
so far is that this may happen if no connection is present, but it is. Doing
a var_dump of the connection handle shows that it is the correct handle as
well.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

Make sure to always pass your active database connection into the
second parameter of mysql_real_escape_string. There could be
character set differences between your two servers too that might be
causing issues for you. If at all possible I would recommend
upgrading to mysqli or pdo and use prepared statements.
mysqli may not be available to him (PHP4, etc.) and I don't see why he
should completely switch his procedure if his code will work with the
addition of the db handle in the function call... but that's my 2c. I
agree that at some level, it is more beneficial to change all of the
code you have to use a new method/construct/whatever, but it may not
be worth it in his case.
