I agree entirely; I was just trying to keep things simple for the OP.

Hi,
I have a series of nested functions which return a large string (as apposed to
working on global
string) , is this inefficient? Or is PHP clever enough to just pass a pointer?
to simplify
$large_string=fn_one(fn_two(fn_three())));
your advice pls

PHP is by no means cleaver enough to read your mind as to what you want it to
do.
If you want to pass pointers instead of strings then do as this
function one(&$buffer)
{
#processing, return true/false based on success, put result in buffer
}
function two(&$buffer)
{
#processing,...
}
Then do like this:
$variable='input value';
if(one($variable))
if(two($variable))
echo "Result: $variable";

No slight meant to PHP, just wanted to know whether I had to worry about it,
according to your

hi,
i have a problem with imap_mail. the mails i always send with this
function contents in the header field 'from' always the server where php
is installed. in our system php and the mail server are installed on
different machines. so i think that might be the problem. but we
configured in the php.ini the outgoing mailserver (smtp section of course).
Does anybody could help us to fix the problem to use the right outgoing
mail server???

That's just what it says, check your program flow.
You overrided the tostring function and somewhere in that new function you
jump out of it because of a flag that is set, and thus not returning
anything, which is equal to return null.

One way would be to use .htaccess files, but I have included in all my
programs (read sites) a mechanism for this. Have one file where you keep all
the varialbes that you need accross the different pages (scripts), and then
on all your files, put this on the top:
if(!(defined('GLOBALS_LOADED')))
require_once 'scripts/globals.php'; #be sure to set relative path to
globals
if(defined('DEBUG_LVL'))
error_reporting(DEBUG_LVL);
else
error_reporting(0);
Then in your file globals.php you need to have at least this:
<?php
define('GLOBALS_LOADED',true);
define('DEBUG_LVL',E_ALL);
?>
Once you go to production, all you need to do is change the E_ALL to 0 and all
the pages follow suit...

I'd love to say that is possible however it's not.
function __toString() {
# Transform...
if (!$this->outXML) {
$XSlt = new xsltprocessor();
$XSlt->registerPHPFunctions();
$XSlt->importStyleSheet(DomDocument::load($this->style));
return $XSlt->transformToXML($this->Dom);
} else {
return $this->Dom->saveXML();
}
}
As you can see there is nothing that could make it jump out. very straight
forward and all cases handled via else.
The line: return $this->Dom->saveXML(); is somehow returning null.
Thank you for the advice on how to enable notices.
being I always include my Document script I just added
error_reporting(E_ALL); to the top.
Sadly I'm getting no Notices about my problem. Am getting 1 notice but nothing
of any interest

It is just that not many work with XML often enough to know well enough how
to use it. I noticed many folks have different way of using XML that
doesn't best fit our need.
I have this same problem as well. So, you're not the only one here as I
have this same problem as well.

Glad I'm not in this boat alone!
I almost have a sneaky suspicion that it has something to do with the
__toString()
I've noticed in the past I couldn't do somethings that I normally could do in
custom functions. think it had something to do with constants but then that
was when I didn't have much experience with php5 objects so it's very likely
that was just stupidity on my behalf.
Not played around with it too much since then however. So I guess nows a
better time than ever. hopefully I can duplicate this behavior in a smaller
class that I can just post to the list.

I have figured it out!
My guess couldn't have been more _wrong_.
Here is all you need to recreate the Error.
There is only 1 value that is off.
in the DOMDocument I gave it the wrong encoding type.
uft-8 .. it should read utf-8.
Interesting that PHP doesn't tell you about a bad encoding type.
<?php
class test {
private $Dom;
function __construct ($rootName) {
$this->Dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'uft-8');
$this->Dom->appendChild($this->Dom->createElement($rootName));
}
function __toString() {
return $this->Dom->saveXML();
}
}
$test = new test("test");

I have to say thank you to you both. In fact I still don't know what
exactly was wrong or may have caused this error (output buffering was
off, and there was no @ in the whole file) but after a night of sleep I
tried again before reinstalling the server and everything worked as fine
as it should.
It's quite strange, since I was the last one in company yesterday and
locked it myself, but maybe some tiny little imps fixed the problem by
night.
And to dissapoint you Jochem (at least I think it was you), it is a Red
Hat System, no Windows.
you do realise RedHat is the 'Windows' of the Linux world ;-)
hey your on Linux whats to disappoint :-)

i have a text area on my page.
As page is uploaded it displays certain text in it.
It has also has a text area with same text that is being displayed above
in the page .
If user changes this text of text area n presses submit button
the page needs to display updated text in the text area
and as well as updated text above in the page.
2ndly the text area must display text alogwith tags
e.g <h1>heading<h1>
this goes text
but above in the page these tags must like <h1> </h1>
mustnt be displayed instead the heading word must become of h1 format.
how can i get all tags like <br> <h1> etc. as enterd by user
coz if i get it on next page n save it database,
the next time wen i wil dsiplay there wil be no brs .
n how to update the page n display updated text?

Since I was having so much difficulty getting PHP (with libxml2)
installed on RH9, I decided to take the advice given by several
people and use Fedora Core 4 instead, which I get installed w/o
difficulty. So next is Apache/PHP and I download Apache version
2.0.54 and PHP version 5.0.5. Following the instructions on the
PHP site (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php)
exactly, I'm able to get both configured and installed w/o difficulty.
I first test Apache by going to localhost to see if the server is running.
It is. Then I modify the httpd.conf file as instructed at the above
page by adding the LoadModule and AddType and then create a
'hello world' php script to make sure php is working.
The problem I'm getting is when I access the page, it's showing me
the actual php code and not the parsed result. I looked in the
modules directory to see if the libphp5.so file is there and it is. I
did notice something odd, though. In the httpd.conf file there are
a large number of LoadModule lines for modules that are not in
the modules directory. Could that be causing my problem?
In any case, if someone could give me some pointers are to where
I should concentrate my attentions in order to resolve this problem,
I would be very appreciative!
thnx,
Chris

Fair enough. :)
Yes, I did. Step 8 (on the included link) of the PHP installation has you
start
Apache and then stop it again. It was during this step that I tested to
make
sure Apache was working by just going to http://localhost. Then step 16 has
you start Apache again. The only slightly different thing I did that wasn't
part
of the installation was my configure of php. It looked like this:
./configure \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect \
--without-pear \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-calendar \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-mailparse \
--with-mcrypt \
--enable-trans-sid \
--disable-short-tags \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib \
--enable-wddx \
--with-xml \
--with-dom=/usr \
--with-xslt-sablot \
--with-expat-dir=/usr \
--with-dom-xslt=/usr \
--with-sablot-js=/usr \
--enable-xslt \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
And that configured with no error (at least, as far as I could tell). My
test
script looks like this:
<script language="php">
echo "PHP Works!!";
</script>
<br>
<? echo "PHP Works??";
And that is exactly what is getting output by the browser. The <br> isn't
even
getting interpreted as a break...?

Yeah, looks like you need the AddType entry. Apache doesn't know what
*.php is, so it's just serving it up as plain text.

Step 15 of the php installation (as listed in the link in my OP) has you add
the
following to the httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
I also went ahead and added the following as well
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
The filename of my test script, though, is php_test.php and not
php_test.phps
so php should be parsing it..

Yea, gone offtrack. Not sure if it is just one element that is offtrack or
more since this is only a simple testcase. I'll keep working on it.
The funny things is most of the xml features doesn't fully cover our need so
somebody had to do custom programming. The one at Pear isn't close enough
and is a little bit primitive. I guess we're doing all what we can here.
I found that keeping the script simple would greatly help as we move on to
newer and newer version. I can't really upgrade to php5 since I have at
least 5 websites running on the same version. It would take some testing
through the whole scripts on the whole websites to make sure the code work
correctly.

I'm using the recursive function and it use the foreach() loop. I can
figure out how to use the current key but I could not figure out how to use
the parent's key. Can anyone point out to what I'm missing here?
Just look at the "//Parent Key - How??" comment in the script... I'm not
sure what php function that can allow us to walk up the array like
array_walk() for example. Thanks...
[code]
$array = array
(
'NEWSFEED' => array
(
'0' => array

'MESSAGE' => array
(
'0' => array

'0' => array
(
'VALUE' => 'Comment #1'
)
)
),
'1' => array
(
'COMMENT' => array
(
'0' => array
(
'VALUE' => 'Comment #2'
)
)
)
)
)
)
);

What is the best way to decrypt a query string back into variables ?
$root = "http://www.myserver.com/script.php";;
$queryString = "?test=mytest&color=red";
myEncrypt($queryString); //add mCrypt encryption
$finalURL = $root.$encryptedQueryString;
what is the proper what to decrypt the GET variables on the other side ?
Do you need to decrypt the query string first ?
decrypt($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
Once you have decrypted it, can you pass it along to a $_GET as you
would with an unencrypted query string ?
$test = $_GET['test'];
Or, do you need to parse the string to extract variables?
many thanks

yes - if you have a query string like
4509134534068953534875104584437043134081743
or whatever then php won't turn it into a $_GET var.
although your query string could contain &'s and/or ?'s and/or ='s
in which case you might have cruft in the $_GET array which you would
want to clean out before extracting your decrypted string into
$_GET ..
decrypt($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
Once you have decrypted it, can you pass it along to a $_GET as you
would with an unencrypted query string ?
$test = $_GET['test'];

yes you do, but this being php - there is a function that will do it for you :-)

You don't mean within the same file do you? If so (though I doubt it)
I'm sure there will be lots of problems!
On the other hand if you're just having one file (that may be written in
vbs) talk to another file (PHP perhaps) via GET, POST, or COOKIE I don't
see why you would have a problem. Working with the SESSION might be a
problem though.

Jay,
Your new job is getting real interesting!
Did you try it on a test file? If it works then the parsing in the web
server can be overloaded, for lack of a better term.
So whether the extension is .asp or .php, watch for the tags and treat them
appropriately, that it?
Wow - Miles

Darn right 'wow'!
I can keep the ASP seperate from the PHP by use of the proper tags for this
instance. So...
<% stuff here gets executed by ASP %>
<?php stuff here gets executed by PHP ?>
Interestingly enough, the following worked ...but I will not use it in
production;
<?php
$sql = "SELECT foo FROM bar where fooID = ' ";
?>
<%
response.write("fooID")
%>
<?php
$sql .= "' ";
echo $sql . "\n";
?>
returned
SELECT foo FROM bar where fooID = '4'
Nuts, huh?

A real interesting challenge and when I first read it I thought the same
thing, instead of using the short form of tags, using a more extended form
such as
<script language=""> and so on, it should work, but then, Irealized that
there is a lot going on outside of the code, such as parsing the incoming
arguments of the POST or GET into either the $_REQUEST array or the
Request.Form collection and, on the opposite site, the assembly of the
output buffer.
Even in the CGI version of the PHP interpreter there is no provision I am
aware of to pipe either the request or the reply to any other interpreter
down the line, nor do I think the ASP interpreter has a CGI version. How
come you were able to do both a Response.Write and an echo and get them both
streamed into the same browser, I can't figure out. If you manage to send
headers from one or the other in any order it would be impressive, and if
from both, I would appreciate it if you would warn me to sit down tight
before you ever break the news. Other 'global' objects or arrays would also
mess up. Sessions, cookies, etc, I can't imagine.
Another issue would be sharing variables, calling functions or passing
parameters. I am certain that should be impossible.
A trick it should work, if you find any trouble with this is to do a sort of
'web service' with PHP which you can call from ASP, so you still leave ASP
handling the user interface as I assume it does now, and you can request
from a server running PHP (which might be the very same one) whatever the
PHP one cannot provide.

I'm partial to mnogoSearch

It has to be compiled into your PHP, so if you're on shared hosting, it
may not be an option.

Hi,
How do I connect a php script running on linux with Active Directory on
a windows machine? I would like to have my php script autmotatically
read email addresses from the AD server. Can this be done? I've found a
bunch of ldap functions for php but they seem to require ldap to be
installed on linux. I'm confused. Thanks in advance for your help.
