Not to put down your efforts or anything, but what's wrong with SimpleXML, DOM XML, XML Reader, XML Parser etc. all of which are native PHP functions?
I don't know, I've not looked at them. Does offering another implementation of a concept imply that there is something wrong with existing implementations? If that is the case, I wouldn't have bothered sharing since I don't want to offend anyone. It was just a learning exercise.
No, of course the offering of a new implementation does not imply there is something wrong with the existing ones. However, re-inventing the wheel is an expensive exercise unless there is something wrong with the existing implementations.
I hope that you don't take this the wrong way; I was merely pointing out that someone else has already done this.

Greetings all:
I've looked through php.net and scoured Google for a solution to an issue I'm having with PHP and LDAP but have so far found nothing. I'm trying to build an intranet site that uses the company LDAP (Active Directory really) service but I can't seem to get around the "Operations error" and other such messages when trying to bind. 

On my server I'm running:
Fedora Core 4
Apache 2
PHP 5 compiled with OpenLDAP
I must confess that I'm very new to LDAP so it is likely that my problem is inexperience, but it seems that this issue has been resolved by others so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
To shed more light on the topic, bug #30670 [ http://bugs.php.net/ bug.php?id=30670&edit=0 ] seems to fit my situation perfectly. As some of the posts on that bug suggest, I've tried using 
ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION,3);
ldap_set_option($ldap, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS,0);
between ldap_connect and ldap_bind but I still get the "Operations error" message. Everyone seems to be able to get this to work as long as they are running PHP4, but I have yet to see (or realize I've seen) a solution from someone using PHP5. I've also found where "blizzards at libero dot it" has posted "When querying a windows 2000/2003 AD you MUST use only SASL and not TLS (non supported)." 
- Is this true?
Another thing worth mentioning here is that the company I work for has allowed us to build our own intranet system for our Dept and offers little to no support for server specs and settings, but I will try to get any information to the list that might be helpful.
Thanks in advance for any advice or direction you can provide on this topic. 
-Joe W

Are you doing an anonymous bind? If you are supplying login credentials, be
sure that you are supplying them correctly. This was the problem I had. If
this doesn't help, how about supplying some code?

I found this to be a very useful resouce

Mark:
First off, thanks for the quick response! You asked if I am using an anonymous bind or if my credentials are being passed correctly. I've been trying anonymous right now as I'm only testing at this point and wanted read only access. But, I have tried passing credentials as well to see if our admin just doesn't allow anonymous binds. Of course I could be doing this wrong, but I couldn't be sure. What did you mean by 'be sure you are supplying them correctly'? I assumed that the following would be fine: 


<?php
$ds = ldap_connect('ad.server.com');
$lb = ldap_bind($ds, 'username', 'password');

// At this point the bind looks successful
// so we'll try a query

$res = ldap_search($ds, 'o=My Company,c=US','sn=S*');

// Now it will output the 'Operations error' message
// Could this happen if I specify directory entries that don't exists?
...
?>
As far as code examples go, I'm simply copying and pasting multiple examples from multiple message threads that say something like "Fixed" or "Got it" - as well as the examples from php.net.
So since you've got it working with PHP5 can you verify that SASL is/ is not needed to communicate to an AD 2003 server from linux? I keep leaning towards the possibility that I need that, but can't seem to find any way to tell for sure since the ldap_sasl_bind() function isn't documented yet. 

Thanks again!

if i'm not mistaken, there is nothing to do with the php coding. this
is totally because of your mysql server, simply your mysql server is
not started yet.

sometimes this may be a bug.

You have to be careful, though, because I had this problem..

I had PHP running as a CGI on the host with Apache, and Apache had a
nasty habit of terminating the CGI communicationg before PHP had
finished mailing everyone, even if set_time_limit(0); was set (well,
even if set_time_limit(arbitrarily_big_number); was used).

I ended up using an exec call to a shell script, which executed the PHP
CLI binary with a custom php.ini, and as a background process. The mails
successfully send, now. And yes, it's a convoluted way, but as it turns
out, it was the only way to properly background it and run all the way
until it ends.

So be careful if you decide to rely on set_time_limit()..

Josh.

Use set_time_limit(0); and your script will never timeout. Anyway, long standing scripts should be run off your Web server, maybe started from by cron.

>From the docs on file: "...file() returns the file in an array. Each element
of the array corresponds to a line in the file, with the newline still
attached."

So you actually get the text plus a newline character which can be removed
with trim. Simply replace

   if ($handle = opendir("$main[$i]"))

with

   if ($handle = opendir( trim($main[$i]) ))

You don't need the quotes in opendir in this case.

Here's my code:: $main = file('folders.txt'); 
 $counter = count($main);
for($i=0;$i<$counter;$i++) 
 {
  if ($handle = opendir("$main[$i]"))
  {
     $b=0;

 }
It's reading and extra space at the end of all my lines. How do I prevent 
 that?


$main = file('folders.txt');
foreach($main as $folder)
{
   if ($handle = opendir(trim($folder))
   {
       $b = 0;
   }
}
I really don't see the point in this loop, but maybe you gave a very simple example. 

Warmly,

hello Rasmus,

sorry to interrupt ... but ... could you possibly
spare a moment to explain why the SquirrelMail example you gave
is 'dumb' code? (I for one would like to avoid writing dumb code
wherever possible, and it looks a lot like I line I could have written!)

many thanks and regards,
jochem

Rasmus Lerdorf wrote:

SquirrelMail has code like this all over the place:

   $value = strtolower(array_shift(split('/\w/',trim($value))));

Here array_shift() does of course change the arg, so that is a potential
problem.  And yes, that's a dumb way to do this, but people write code
like this.  In some of these array manipulation calls, which seems to
account for a number of the BC problems we are having, we could check
for a non-ref and behave slightly differently.  In the case of
array_shift() we could return the first arg and throw a notice.  Same
would go for reset(), end(), next(), prev() and probably a few others.

I know I'm not Rasmus ... but I thought he already explained it pretty well in the email you quoted. By the way, please don't top-post.
array_shift [1] receives its first argument as a reference (and modifies it), but because you're not actually passing a variable here, but actually the result of split(), what exactly is array_shift meant to modify? 

A better way to write that would be:

<?php
$value_parts = split('/\w/', trim($value));
$value = strtolower($value_parts[0]);
?>

... which has the advantage of being a bit more readable too.

debatable ... no bog deal either way ...

$value = split('/\w/', trim($value));
$value = strtolower($value[0]);

... saves a var, no?
Yeah, but not as readable. $value is first a string, then an array, then a string again. At one point it contains the whole value, then the string split into words, then the first word in lowercase. The simple name 'value' doesn't really explain what it's standing for in all those situations. 

But yeah, no big deal either way.

Hi,

Perhaps your /usr/local/bin/php505 is a cgi instead of cli?

You're asking for the 0th day of the first month here, which is (guess what!) 
the last day of *last* year.  If you want to get the last day of *this* year, 
you need to ask for the 0th day of *next* year; or, more trickily, the 0th day 
of the 13th month of *this* year! (Note: I haven't tested this, but logically 
it should work... ;)  So, either of these should get what you want:

  $epoch = mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, $year+1); 
  $epoch = mktime(0, 0, 0, 13, 0, $year); 

Cheers!

Mike

I've searched online and am unable to find how to increment by more than one in

Is it possible to increment $i by 5?
Everyone has responded with the correct answer, but you do realize that this loop will only run twice? It will print 1, then 6. 

If you change it to $i < 6, then it will print 1.

And just because its Tuesday, and if you happen to be using PHP 5.0.0+:

$numbers = range(1,100,5);
foreach($numbers as $number)
{
   echo $number."\n";
}

And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming....

Hi,
Can someone tell me what are the differences between ADODB and using the 
compiled-in MSSQL extension?  Which one is faster?  What are the 
benefits/pitfalls of using either?
Thanks

Do you mean the ADODB database abstraction layer for PHP or the original
ADODB technology of Microsoft?

That did it. Anyone know why the SOAP package didn't complain about this when i 
installed it?

Hi there!




This setting...
session.gc_maxlifetime can only be set in php.ini
Default = 1440 = 24 minutes
is the time before a cookie expires? Is this right?




I don't have access to php.ini because it's not my server



(it's my webhost)
What's the solution to that? I want the cookie to last as



long as set inte



setcookie...




Please help... I'm a little confused here...


Surely it is:

session.cookie_lifetime: specifies the lifetime of the cookie in seconds
which is sent to the browser. The value 0 means "until the browser is
closed." Defaults to 0.

Also, I thought you could use ini_set to change your php.ini configuration
for your current script.

But I could be wrong... Did I miss read the manual?

Hi again!

Yes, I were able to change with ini_set...

I wrote it like this... Is it good? or bad?
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',2147483647);
I wrote that code in a script... But that won't effect the server configruation would it? Because when I try to get values from phpinfo() then 'session.cookie_lifetime' is still 0. 

How do I know that it works? Is there any way of viewing the new value?

I have to create registration forms all the time for people in the office and
what I keep running into is that I need a way for when they edit a field that
the drop-down list of choices is automatically set for the right now.

I have 100+ counties in one list, but I don't want to write 100+ if statements
for checking to see if the value of $county equals the value of the field I am
drop down choice.

Anyone have some quick solutions?

I have radio buttons as well, but going to use a drop-down list for the editing
pages to make it all simple.

Thanks!
Robert

Hi Robert,

As a suggestion, why not put your counties in an array (are you taking them
from a recordset? If so, same idea applies) and use foreach() to iterate
through the array, building the select list. When $county equals the current
value of the array, include " SELECTED" in the select HTML you are building.
One if statement should handle the situation nicely.

Much warmth,

I haven't used .htaccess before and am currently having an issue with it.
I have a site that has photos from various events on it. Some of the events need to be password protected to view the photos. They enter a password, it gets checked in the MYSQL database and then the php page tries to pull the protected photos from the directory that has .htaccess on it. Yet, everytime it tries to pull an image a username and password dialog comes up.
How do I pass this information automatically when I try to get the images so the dialog doesn't come up? Or am I approaching this wrong? 

Thanks in advance for the help...

Unfortunately, you can't pass along a username/password to apache in a simple way. However, a different approach would be to create a script in the same directory as your main script is in. And then call all images via that script (eg. image.php?img=abc123.png). Then in that script that recieves all requests for the images, basically file_get_contents() (or whatever) the actual image file from the protected directory, set the right headers (content-type mainly), and echo/print out the image.
Another way would be to limit the .htaccess allow to allow only images without getting the user/pass dialog. I'm sure it's possible, but I can't really recall how that is done. It will probably be explained in the Apache Documentation :)
