Hello All,
I am running into a problem after I moved a site from a server with PHP4 to
PHP5.
As an example I have a variable defined at the top of my code lets say:
$test_mode = "no";
Then within the code I check if we are in test mode to bypass certain
functionality like so:
function runTransaction() {
global $test_mode;
do some things;
do some more things;
if ($test_mode == "yes") {
don't do anything;
} else {
Do something;
}
My problem is that $test_mode NEVER contains the value "no".
Any ideas appreciated.

Maybe your code overwrites the variable anywhere?
You should think about switching to a constant in that case by using
define('TEST_MODE', true);
[...]
if (TEST_MODE) {
[...]
} else {
[...]
}

RHEL5/PHP 5.1.6
I'm having some trouble getting the Fileinfo package working. It
installed fine, and phpinfo() says it's enabled. But it consistently
returns an empty string when getting the MIME of a file.
/usr/share/pear/bin/pecl install fileinfo
vi /etc/php.d/fileinfo.ini
extension=fileinfo.so
ln -s /usr/share/file/magic /etc/magic.mime
The code:
define('FINFO_PATH', '/usr/share/file/magic');
...
$fi = new finfo(FILEINFO_MIME, FINFO_PATH);
$type = $fi->file($file_path);
$type is always empty. And, yes, the path to the file is good.
This works fine on the dev box (PHP 5.2.6). Unfortunately, the
decision to use RHEL5 for production was out of my hands and I'm stuck
with this older version. At least, I'm thinking it might be due to
that. I didn't see anything in the manual about it, though.
I did come across a post[1] online about doing file conversions where
the guy mentions rolling an upgrade to 5.2.4 for RHEL5 but wasn't
specific as to whether it was necessary to get Fileinfo to work at
all. I might try using that upgrade but thought I'd do a sanity check
here first. Any other reason it'd be returning nothing?
[1]

Is fileinfo pecl extension installed as a package or with pecl? In case
it is installed as an rpm try to remove it and install it as an
extension in case the package is broken for some reason.
Have in mind that you will need the magic_open library for this to work.

Anyway, as I said, phpinfo() tells me it's installed & enabled.

You mean libmagic? I have file-4.17-15.el5_3.1, which provides libmagic,
installed. Strangely, for Fedora, it comes in the file-libs package. But
I know that, for the dev box, I had to install file-devel to get this
all working. Neither of these appear to be available for RHEL, which I'm
discovering is a bit "interesting" to deal with, package-wise.
The file package also provides /usr/share/file/magic*, which I have. I'd
created a link to /etc/magic.mime but decided in the end to just pass
the correct path to finfo().

Pear and pecl are different. Pear is used to install pure PHP-coded
extensions that you can include in your projects. You can use this piece
of code that pear provides by just copying it somewhere and including it
though not recommended IMHO. Pecl on the other hand provides C-coded
extensions that you need to compile and may provide for eg APIs for
known libraries that must exist in your system.
That is what pecl command does downloads, compiles and installs the
extension.
A wild guess is that your modules probably live under the
/usr/lib/php/modules directory or in a directory under the /usr/lib/php.

Right, of course. I wasn't thinking about that clearly.

fileinfo.so is, indeed, in /usr/lib/php/modules. But I know it's
enabled, in any case.
So, anyone know if this extension doesn't work well with 5.1.6?

Well you could enable the error messages to see what is going wrong. The
$type var is probably empty because the instantiation of the $fi object
fails for some reason.

If the instantiation fails, I should see "Fatal error: Call to a member
function on a non-object" I would think.
As it turns out, this was all due to open_basedir not having the path
/usr/share/file included. All is good. Thanks for your help.

There aren't really many examples around, but check
http_chunked_decode() from PECL.
simples!
function HTTPChunkDecoder( $chunkedData ) {
$decodedData = '';
do {
$tempChunk = explode(chr(13).chr(10), $chunkedData, 2);
$chunkSize = hexdec($tempChunk[0]);
$decodedData .= substr($tempChunk[1], 0, $chunkSize);
$chunkedData = substr($tempChunk[1], $chunkSize+2);
} while (strlen($chunkedData) > 0);
return $decodedData;

According ot the instructions you posted:
"A session begins with the client establishing a TCP session and sending
a login packet. If a login packet is not received within 30 seconds the
server will terminate the session. "
Now you just need to determine what a login packet should look like.

You would know that if you read the full post since he gave a link to

"That site is also coded in php so I'm guessing that the

It means that he can presumably also generate a watermark with an

Yeah, but that's only true if you read the post in detail. Look, I
always skim what the poster said and then answer as I think he may

That practice has worked for me for years without any problems

If you have any idea of how SMS works, you'll know it's not
possible. SMS is a protocol built upon a network for which you'll be
required to license (and pay for) access and usage. It's not a script
you could install.

As Daniel already mentioned, SMS gateways are normally charged on the basis of
usage. And there are several service providers as far as that goes, who
provide APIs for integration with your own application.
Just FYI
www.clickatell.com is one. Somebody has even written a wrapper class around
this service, that could make life a lot easier
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/sms-api/)

indeed been down this avenue myself - best free way I could find of
doing it for free(?) is to find the email address format for the major
carriers (there is a list on wikipedia) then send an email to
241412341...@carrier.smstoemailgateway.domain where the numbers are the
phone number.

Well, in a way you could - I've been using sms_client for 3-4 years,
paying a fixed fee of 30Rappen per SMS via my phonebill. It works very
well. I trigger the SMS by email, but it could just as easily be done
from some PHP code.
sms_client is open source, btw.

hi all,
I need to remove data when user leaves my webapplication. I fire an unload
event (that calls a php script) but sometimes fails, so I need a more secure
option.
I wonder if session_set_save_handler is what I need. I think so but not
sure.
So, EVEN if the user leaves my webapplication, will his session be
destroyed (after reaching $maxlifetime) and, as consequence, the associated
functions will be executed (functions like deleting from database, user
folders...)?
In PHP documentation, it's said:"session.gc_maxlifetime specifies the number
of seconds after which data will be seen as 'garbage' and cleaned up.
Garbage collection occurs during session start. "
And..."session.gc_probability in conjunction with session.gc_divisor is used
to manage probability that the gc (garbage collection) routine is
started.Defaults to 1" ----> does it mean that only 1% of the old sessions
(and associated actions) are deleted each time?
Some idea?
thanks alot,
Pere Roca

Never implemented something similar but I will share what I know. If
you manage to set up an SMS gateway it will probably provide you some
means (like an API, a spool-like directory, database etc) to pass
messages to it. You can probably use PHP 's capabilities to pass the
sms to the gateway and use it this way to send the message to the
subscriber.
Generally speaking this is the plan. But you will need to have a working
SMS gateway and walk through its aspects and details.
I am not sure but I think there might be someone selling the service
that you may pay to use it in your site.
I am sure that someone more experienced than me will reply when the time
is right.

Do you end up paying for that then - or who pays for it?
Besides, none of the carriers around here have email-to-sms interfaces,
so I'd disagree with your initial claim.

It seems pretty common, at least with the few carriers I've dealt with
in the US.
As for payment, the sender doesn't pay anything (What are they going
to do -- send a bill to the sender's e-mail address?) and the
recipient pays standard rates for an incoming message. If it's within
your monthly allotment, it's "free." I don't know if there are quotas
imposed to prevent someone from "abusing" the service.

last test I did I found they were very tight with the allocation, made
an email to sms update system for a site and the system was getting
timeouts and rejections left right and center under even moderate traffic.
I think its safe to say that for personal traffic and light updates
you'd be fine, but nothing that would amount to any level of commercial
grade server for even a medium sized app.

I would figure as much. Otherwise, that would be a pretty easy address
space to SPAM.

I am currently searching for the most efficient way to add corners to
existing images.
Not just round corners - pre-made colorful with "pattern" images.
So first thing I'm thinking about what I'll need, and I think that for each
corner I'll need:
- Corner pattern
- Straight-line pattern
Do you agree? Do you know about existing class or something? since I've
researched this issue a bit... can't find any solution.

called a "9-slice" - might get you going in the right direction.
ps: really seems like the functionality you've been needing recently is
more suited to flash/flex/as

Forgot to post last message to the list, but never mind - I managed to do it
by one corner image and one "line" image for each pre-made corner. rotated
by 90 degrees and copied it on the picture. Thank you

I'm trying to emulate Linux facilities on the windows servers, and have
found bsdtar can be renamed tar.exe so that it will work the same as a
shell_exec( "tar" ) call in Linux.
The full paths are used to the files and the command line returns the
extracted file name when run at a command prompt, and similar commands
for unzip and unrar work fine, later in the check list, but using the
'tar' and also 'bsdtar' command simply returns NULL, and the extracted
file is not created.
Any ideas what I've got wrong?
