Hi,
I have a client who requires php 4.x with mysql 5 (cannot use php 5
for this project).
Can anyone confirm that it is possible to use this combination without
setting mysql to use old-style passwords.
I have a clean php 4.4.7 compile but it still shows the old mysql lib
version. I can't find where it is picking that up at. Is it just built
into the php sources that way?
Thanks.

Too bad...

Not sure

version. I can't find where it is picking that up at. Is it just built

Yes, it is included with the php source. If you want it to use newer libs, then
download the devel packages for the newer mysql version and at compile time,
point the configure script for php use the newer devel libs instead. That
should be all that is needed.
Thanks.

Good idea! I may end up doing that.
My goal is to position this so that a move to php5 would work and not
be stuck with a bunch of old-style mysql passwords that need updated
by users (since the original passwords are not retrievable of course
for conversion unless I store plain text copies, which I do not want
to do).
Thanks for your input.

i have a method called CreateUser() which is public and takes 5
variables as its data, then adds them to a db. it only executes the
first method not the other although its all the same but the variable.
ex:
$auth = new auth();
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 1, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 2, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 3, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 4, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 5, "fake name", 4);
any ideas? only the first method gets executed?

Here you say that the method takes five (5) variables.
ex:
$auth = new auth();
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 1, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 2, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 3, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 4, "fake name", 4);
$auth->CreateUser("fake email", 5, "fake name", 4);
But here, you are only putting 4 variables in the method call.
Are you missing something that is required? The fifth field perhaps?
any ideas? only the first method gets executed?

whats going on inside CreateUser(), have you tried tracing the logic?
are the successive calls raising any errors?

that was just an example. yes they both provide 5 input variables.

well theres something preventing successive calls from doing what you
expect. php has no issue in calling the same instance method successively,
which you could verify with a simple test case.

no-one can smell the problem with the info you gave.
what is the code for createUser()?
what is does you error log contain?
are you displaying errors? (you should probably do so in a dev environment)
are the 2nd + subsequent calls being made and nothing is entering
in the DB OR are the 2nd + subsequent calls not occuring at all?

For those of you who want to know what I'm doing with the solution,
please review:
http://www.webbytedd.com/bbbb/var-string/index.php
Warning: Geek meters should be worn at all times and exposure should
be limited. All code is shown.
The "problem" that I was seeking a solution for was simply an easier
way to grab POST and GET variables and place them into SESSIONs while
keeping the most current values current.
I'm a little disappointed in the solution because I wanted the
statements to be:
$post_var = sessionize_post($post_var);
$get_var = sessionize_get($ger_var);
But, the function provided by Daniel (and found in the literature)
would not work from within my session_post and session_get functions
-- I think it's probably something to do with the scope of the
variable.
In any event, I had to alter the calls to:
$post_var = @sessionize_post($post_var, vname($post_var));
$get_var = @sessionize_get($get_var, vname($get_var));
You see, there can be reasons why someone would want to know the
variable's name.
Thanks Daniel and to all who commented.
Cheers,
tedd

And thank you for putting credit where it was really due. I knew
I had gotten that code a couple of years ago from somewhere, but
couldn't remember where. I hadn't written it, only modified it. I'm
going to update my code now to put the "thanks to" section in there to
the person who deserves the credit: Lucas Karisny (lucas dot karisny
at linuxmail dot org).
I had tried to find that each time I referenced the code or used
it myself, but never did. If only I had R'd TFM. :-\

So, how is this any better then just doing this
$_SESSION = array_merge(array_merge($_SESSION, $_POST), $_GET);
If I replace the two calls to sessionize_*() with the above line, I get the same
results. Not sure what I am missing.

I don't see why this has to be so convoluted - it would be a heck of
a lot easier to do it with a string:
$post_var = @sessionize_post('post_var');
so why exactly is that not an option (or good idea)?

It IS an option -- and that's what I was doing (except for the
suppress error) via this:
$post_var = sessionize_post('post_var');
I just wanted to make it simpler and do this:
$post_var = sessionize_post($post_var);
But, it turned out to be much more involved. It's just an adventure
in key punching.

First, I didn't say it was better.
Second, you're not missing anything.
Third, if I wanted to merge the arrays, I could use REQUEST and
forget the merge.
I was just trying to get the "check the current value of post or get
variable and put it into a session" with a single simple statement of:
$whatever = serialize($whatever);
Now, I've have to continue with my original:
$whatever = serialize('whatever');
When dealing with just a few variables, it's not a big deal. But,
with the numbers I've been dealing with lately, I was looking to
create something simple to cut and paste into.

Hi, thanks for all your help today.

A cut down version of what you are trying to do, I think.
<?php
$dir = "../../";
// set pattern
$allowed_ftypes = array('php','txt','TXT');
// open directory and parse file list
if (is_dir($dir)) {
if ( ($files = glob($dir.'*') ) !== false ) {
// This is the div that contains the wrap around for the breaking news
// section.
echo '<div>
Breaking News<br />
Please check here often for breaking news stories.
<p>
<span class="NomalText">
<ul>';
// iterate over file list
foreach ( $files AS $file ) {
// if filename matches search pattern, print it
if ( in_array(array_pop(explode('.', $file) ), $allowed_ftypes ) ) {
// Open file for reading
if ( ( $fh = fopen($file, "r") ) !== false ) {
// Get the first line of the file
$filehead = fgets($fh);
// Extract file name for link
$filename = array_pop(explode('/', $file));
// Display Link
echo '<li><a href="/breaking_news/'.$filename.'">'.
htmlspecialchars($filehead).'</a></li>';
fclose($fh);
}
}
}
echo '</ul></p></span></div>';
}
}
?>

How is the output random? The text from the file, or the order the
files are read?
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
i hooked up an spl example; and the files are sorted by name.
also, did you want that <p> inside or outside the <span> w/
class=NormalText, because the opening and closing tags are
mixed up..
<?php
class FileIterator extends FilterIterator {
public function __construct(Iterator $it) {
if(!($it instanceof DirectoryIterator)) {
throw new LogicException(get_class($it) . ' must be
a DirectoryIterator!');
}
parent::__construct($it);
}
public function accept() {
if($this->getInnerIterator()->current()->isFile()) {
return true;
}
}
}
class TextInfoIterator extends ArrayIterator {
public function __construct($array, $flags=0) {
$this->ksort();
parent::__construct($array, $flags);
}
public function current() {
return '<li>' . parent::current() . '</li>';
}
}
$fileMatchString = '/.*(\.txt|\.TXT)$/';
$resultData = array();
foreach(new RegexIterator(new FileIterator(new
DirectoryIterator('testDir')), $fileMatchString) as $curAllowedFile) {
try {
$theFile = $curAllowedFile->openFile('r');
$theFile->setFlags(SplFileObject::DROP_NEW_LINE);
$resultData[$curAllowedFile->getFilename()] =
$theFile->fgets();
unset($theFile); // close the file ??
} catch(RuntimeException $e) {
// do something here
}
}
?>
<div class="spstory" style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times,serif;
font-size: 12px; width: 290px;">
<div style="width: 285px; background-color: #FFFFCC; padding:3px;">
<span class=\"NormalHeadRed\">Breaking News</span>
<br />Please check here often for breaking news stories.
</div>
<p>
<span class="NomalText">

<?php foreach(new TextInfoIterator($resultData) as

<?=$curTextData?>

damnit; i had a couple of mistakes; so sue me; its friday night!
to ensure the path is in the href; i added it
$resultData[$curAllowedFile->getPathname()] = $theFile->fgets();
to make sure the results are sorted; i sorted them after the parent
ArrayIterator was created
parent::__construct($array, $flags);
$this->ksort();
and lastly, i added the anchor tag
<a href="<?=$curFilename?>"><?=$curTextData?></a>
i could use a drink right about now..=/

Here is another, generic extension filter with SPL. Untested, and I have
just woken up, so if it doesn't work... :-P
class ExtensionFilter extends FilterIterator {
private $ext;
private $it;
public function __construct(DirectoryIterator $it, $ext) {
parent::__construct($it);
$this->it = $it;
$this->ext = $ext;
}
public function accept() {
if ( ! $this->it->isDir() ) {
$ext = array_pop(explode('.', $this->current()));
return $ext != $this->ext;
}
return true;
}
}
