I don't quite understand the purpose of this when either an
include() or readfile() will do the job, and not to mention much
faster and less memory intensive.

I personally don't see anything wrong with it. It's actually better
than any of my attempts to do templating.

There are a lot of things with the system, imo, i just stopped at
the point where I read:
eval('echo "'. template($foo) . '")');
all that evaluates to is a simple:
include(template_filename($foo));
Without the overhead of:
eval() - wich is know to be the slowest method to execute code
echo() - instead of php having to go and evaluate a string the
contents of the files are read directly to the browser
on an include.
template() - a function that goes out and builds a sting and pre
processes it (side note, Hypertext Preparsing)
The function.phps file has already been evalutate so I'll just
point out some of the points for that file.
- no need for the globals, use static for the $templatecache
and pass a parameter to the function template to be verbose or
not (aka $setting['debugtemplate'])
* this will provide for a cleaner and more isolated function.
- use isset($templatecache[$templatename]) instead
* prevents unnescesary E_NOTICE errors
- the use of file_get_contents is much prefered over opening a
file handle, etc. Althogh file_get_contents() requires >=
4.3.0, php should be upgraded anyway.
* file_get_contents is known to be much faster and efficient
than the other alternatives
- overuse of addslashes then stripping them down, using
str_replace with the first two parameters as array's to
specifiy what needs to get cleaned up.
* just too much overhead.
One major point that should be noted is that php *is* a templating
system already, so re-creating somthing like this is not really
necessary.
If caching is a desired thing, for starters the filesystem will
already do caching on recently accessed files, so OS level
optimizations can be done. Also you can use things like APC
(http://pecl.php.net/package/APC).

I've posted about this before, and I guess I'm just thick, but I'm just
not getting it.
I need to implement secure transactions for a client, but I just can't
figure out how to open a page with an https prefix. The server has
mod-ssl and OpenSSL compiled into it:
Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2
mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.9 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22

'--enable-versioning' '--enable-wddx' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-zlib'
I'm unable to open any pages with an https prefix, .html or .php. I
get the message:
The requested URL /index.html was not found on this server.
(or whatever page I try to open other than index.html) This is in
Firefox.
If I try it locally, I get "Connection refused when attempting to
contact localhost". This is in Firefox. If I try to open a page on
the server in Safari, I get redirected to http://www.netidentity.com/
Huh? If I try it locally in Safari, I get 'Safari can't connect to the
server. Safari can't open the page "https://localhost/ because it
cannot connect to the server "localhost".' (I get the standard Apache
default page as http://localhost/).
From everything I've read and been told, all that should be necessary
is to compile ssl into the server and PHP and add the https prefix.
Aargh.
Should I be consulting an Apache mail list? Try to get a gig bagging
groceries? Any advice as to where to find information about using SSL
would be HUGELY appreciated. TIA

Consulting the Apache documentation is better, seems like you just
missed configuring the conf file of Apache. Have you created the
certificate for your domain? SSL will not be loaded unless you
configure it in the conf file(httpd.conf/apache2.conf)

I want to get a backup of that db. phpmyadmin is installed on the server..but
if failed to create the backup (may b coz of the time outs). so i wrote my own
class to get the backup. Its working fine except that PHP is not able to write
a file larger than 10Mb. I've tried to export the data to Excel...The same
problem repeated again. Is there any parameters to change in php to make it

Hi,
I'm trying to do the following but I don't have any success. Could you help
me here...
I have this code in mu page:
<?php
include "script/functions.php";
require 'script/common.inc';
$valid = TRUE;
if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) {
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {
$$key = $value;
}
This is a huge security hole, far better is to do this:
if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) {
foreach (array('field1', 'field2', 'field3') as $allowedfield) {
if (isset($_POST[$allowedfield])) {
$$allowedfield = $_POST[$allowedfield];
}
}
}
In addition, you really need to use mysql_escape_string() to avoid
serious potential problems with sql injection attacks.
[NOTE: mysql_db_query() is deprecated, use mysql_query()/mysql_select_db()]
mysql_select_db($DB);
mysql_query('INSERT INTO blahbalhblahblah VALUES("' .
mysql_escape_string($field1) . '" ....');

Hi!
Thank you for the reply!
I have change the function:

}
header("Location:http://$HTTP_HOST/$DOCROOT/allright.html";);

}
When i try to insert -> the problem is in the insertion. The message "the
insertiont cannot be done"; appears. Do you know what could be the mistake?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply!
I have changed the function like this:
function doReg($fname1="",$family1="",$company1="", $MOL1="", $dannum1="",
$bulstat1="", $phone1="", $email1="", $username1="", $password1="",
$payment1="", $maillist1="", $Addr1="", $City1="", $zipcode1="",
$Country1="", $shippingName1="", $shippingFamily1="", $shippingphone1="",
$shippingAddr1="", $shippingcity1="", $shippingzipcode1="",
$shippingCountry1="")
{
mysql_pconnect ($DB_SERVER, $DB_LOGIN, $DB_PASSWORD) or
die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($DB) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query( "insert into users(name,family,company, MOL, taxnum, bulstat,
phone, email, username, password, payment, maillist, Addr, City, zipcode,
Country, shippingName, shippingFamily, shippingphone, shippingAddr,
shippingcity, shippingzipcode, shippingCountry)
values('$fname1','$family1','$company1', '$MOL1', '$dannum1', '$bulstat1',
'$phone1', '$email1', '$username1', '$password1', '$payment1', '$maillist1',
'$Addr1', '$City1', '$zipcode1',
'$Country1','$shippingName1','$shippingFamily1',
'$shippingphone1','$shippingAddr1', '$shippingcity1', '$shippingzipcode1',
'$shippingCountry1')") or die (mysql_error());
}
I think that the problem is not in the insertion string because when write
the function body :
mysql_pconnect(.....);
mysql_select_db($DB) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_query("insert into ....");
instead doReg() in register.php, everything works. I have inserted some data
in this way.
The problem is that A DATABASE is NOT SELECTED. This is the message when I
use doReg().
The register.php is in the DOCROOT->emagazine. In the subdirectory
script are "common.inc" and "functions.php". In common.inc is this:
<?php
$DB_SERVER="localhost";
$DB_LOGIN="admin";
$DB_PASSWORD="******";
$DB="emagazine";
$HTTP_HOST="localhost:3000";
$DOCROOT="emagazine";
?>
Is it all right? I think that $DB="emagazine" should work. Here I select
the $DB, which name is "emagazine".
I don't understand what's going on:)
Thank you!

Hi there all!
I'm thinking of the "or die" suffix (or option or whatever it is called)...
I can use or die together with opening a db.
open_mysqldb("bla.bla.") or die("couldn't connect to db");
But this is just useful when developing?
I don't want my users to see that a specific table can't be opened?
Or do I want that? What's your opinion?

Is there any function avialable in PHP to calculate

Hi Khuram
I use this function
function daysLeft($startDate,$endDate=false){
// convert to timestamps
$start_stamp = strtotime($startDate);
$end_stamp = ($endDate)?strtotime($endDate):time();
if($start_stamp > $end_stamp){
// start date is passed end date
return "0";
}
$difference = $end_stamp - $start_stamp;
return floor($difference/(24*60*60));
}
echo daysleft("today", "01/05/2005");
Note, remeber to use the correct dat format otherwise you will see
some unexpected results.

Greetings!
I've posted this before, but there are always new readers so here's my script
solution. One of these days I'll make it a function or something, but this
should give you a good general idea of how to do such a thing in case you need
it again in the future.
btw: This also calculates hours, minutes, seconds, etc between two dates. I
start with date/times in string format just for ease of reading but you really
only need them in serial date/time format ($stimestamp and $etimestamp):
<?php
# Standard format dates and times
$startdate = "10/30/02";
$starttime = "13:05:01";
$enddate = "12/30/03";
$endtime = "14:06:02";
# Break apart dates and times for mktime
list($smonth,$sday,$syear) = explode("/",$startdate);
list($emonth,$eday,$eyear) = explode("/",$enddate);
list($shour,$sminute,$ssecond) = explode(":",$starttime);
list($ehour,$eminute,$esecond) = explode(":",$endtime);
# Number of seconds in each timeframe, 1 month = 30 days
$secondsequiv = array("Years"=>31536000,
"Months"=>2592000,
"Days"=>86400,
"Hours"=>3600,
"Minutes"=>60);
# How many seconds between two dates/times
$stimestamp = mktime($shour,$sminute,$ssecond,$smonth,$sday,$syear);
$etimestamp = mktime($ehour,$eminute,$esecond,$emonth,$eday,$eyear);
$daydiff = $etimestamp - $stimestamp;
# Just to make sure I didn't use $remainder somewhere else in my script and
forgot
if (isset($remainder)) unset($remainder);
# Cycle through timeframes checking to see if number is large enough to be a
full year/month/day/etc
# If so, find out how many and store remainder for further processing
# If not, set to zero and continue processing
foreach ($secondsequiv as $timeframe=>$seconds) {
if (isset($remainder)) { $checkvalue = $remainder; } else { $checkvalue =
$daydiff; }
if ($checkvalue >= $seconds) {
$daydiffarr[$timeframe] = floor($checkvalue/$seconds);
$remainder = $daydiff % $seconds;
} else {
$daydiffarr[$timeframe] = 0;
}
}
# If $reminder is never used, then we're dealing with less than a minute's
worth of time diff
if (isset($remainder)) {
$daydiffarr["Seconds"] = $remainder;
} else {
$daydiffarr["Seconds"] = $daydiff;
}
# Display results
foreach ($daydiffarr as $timeframe=>$count) {
echo "$timeframe = $count<br>\n";
}
?>

Which process is better to use in PHP?
Having register_globals=on and referring to variables as if($name){} or
using $_GET & $_POST statements like if(isset($_GET['name']))?
What is the main advantage/disadvantage in both cases.

It's a piece of cake if you use database driven PHP sessions.
http://destiney.com/pub/Destiney_db_sessions_0.1.0.tar.bz2
Once you get your PHP sessions running inside a database counting the
sessions is just a select count(*) from sessions query. You can even
force garbage collection before the count to get a realtime count.

Cool.. just tried your script. I might try to convert it to Smarty template
compatible code, in my spare time. Have you used Smarty Templates??

Dear friends,
we would like to migrate a server where we host several websites (in virtual
hosting) to PHP 5 with Apache 2.
Technical support at the hosting provider told us there are still problems
about safety of threads on php 5 + Apache 2 (management of memory). They
would propose to migrate Apache to the pre-fork version in order to avoid
these problems (but we would be unable to use all the features of Apache
2).
Is that right?
Has anybody switched to that combination already?
Any suggestion about recommended php, Apache versions?

You want to stay away from the threaded MPM's in Apache2.
Which specific Apache2 features are you looking for?

Which versions would be recommended then? We would like to be able to use
the new PHP object model, and at the same time use features like the
possibility of running scriping languages using a lower rights users, as in
apache 2.

How does Apache2 let you do that?
As far as threading goes, it is simply not a good idea for a large
complex system. There are too many moving parts to ensure that
everything will be threadsafe. Most of the parts are actually
threadsafe, but the huge problem is that we don't have a clear picture
of which libraries out there aren't, and it is nearly impossible to
debug a thread-related race condition. These race conditions tend to
only happen under heavy load and only in certain conditions so they
aren't reproducable which makes our job of tracking them down that much
harder. People have reported success with PHP under Apache2 with a
threaded MPM so you can give it a try and see how it goes. It may work
perfectly, or it may work perfectly for weeks and then suddenly fall
over. Unless you really know what you are doing we are not going to be
able to help you with any occasional crashes.
I am a big believer in keeping the base infrastructure as simple as
possible. You are going to layer a lot of complexity on top of Apache
and PHP in the form of your web applications. You want to make sure
that your building blocks are rock solid so if you see a problem you can
be confident that it is something you did wrong. If your base is shaky
everything you build on top of it is going to be that much more unstable.

I found a thread a couple of weeks ago where someone had to create
symbolic links in order to get their install of PHP to work because
PHP wasn't able to find png.h.
I am having the same problem. I made no changes to the installation of
libpng, installed it in its default location and PHP cannot find
png.h, no matter what I set the dir= flag to.
Here is my ./configure:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --with-xml
--enable-ftp --with-gd --enable-magic-quotes --with-jpeg-dir=/usr
--with-mcrypt --with-png-dir=/usr --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars
--enable-versioning --with-zlib --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --enable-memory-limit
png.h on my system is located in /usr/lib

I was happy as an ASP developer - you can use MSXSL for XML
processing, ADO for database, and the file scripting object for file
processing. The weakness shows up when you want to do something that
Microsoft has not built into ASP or JavaScript or the COM objects I
just listed. You're stuck writing your own COM object in VB or C++. I
was in a C++ shop and writing C++ COM components for use in ASP is
just horrible. PHP has a much larger library.
Try to find something you need to do that will require you to write a
COM component if you use ASP, and it's built into PHP.

I usally do something like this when I start a project, so I can
easily turn it back off later when my code goes production:
if( $debug )
{
error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
}
else
{
error_reporting( E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
}

Hi there..
I need to pass variables to a page through an html link.
I do it like this:
<A href="Extra/excelListing3.php?buildQuery=<?php echo $buildQuery
?>">Export</A>
where 'buildQuery' is the variable I�m passing.
In the destination page, I capture it with $_GET and that�s it.
I want to know if there is any way of doing it without showing the variables in
the direction bar.
Thanks!
Pablo

Turn it into a form, and post it.
<form name="whatever" action="Extra/excelListing3.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="buildQuery" value="<?php echo ( $buildQuery

<a href="JavaScript:document.whatever.submit()">Export</a>
