Hello,
I'm running RH 7 and Apache. I have the latest version of PostgreSQL and it
is installed and running correctly. I have installed PHP with the
--with-pgsql and it seems to install everything needed, but when I try to
use pg_connect() it fails to connect. Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks,
Kevin

have you checked phpinfo() to make sure that pgsql support is actually
compiled in? if so, any errors on connection, or just silently fails?

How can I turn off safe_mode using php.ini with php4.0.3pl1? All this doesn't work:
safe_mode="off"
safe_mode=off
safe_mode="0"

Anyone has an idea?

You're talking about sessions, for the most part.
Sessions are nice, as you can efficiently handle things like arrays with
10,000 items of 200 bytes each without doing something extremely stupid like
sending the user The Cookie From Hell (assuming a 2M cookie is even legal -
I forget if there is any limit or not). Something like that is great when
you're paging through results.
Hope this has helped.

I might be wrong but I think he's talking about setcookie(), for
which the docs are here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
meaning that the server sends the cookie info in a header, there's
another way to do it with javascript where the client code sets the
cookie. Anyway, one of these posts should cover what he wants :)

you mean sessions? cookies are client side, sessions are server side (with assistance
from cookies or url re-writing)
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
should have more then enough information, phpbuilder also has a few articles.

Other than the fact you cannot overwrite them (which helps with
carelessness), is there any real benefit to declaring a CONSTANT over just
defining a variable? In typical compiled programs, I believe constants or
macros don't load into the symbol table, thus reducing memory requirements
for the executable. But since PHP isn't a compiled program, but a script
parser, is there any real benefit?

The fact they can't be overwritten makes them more appropriate for true
constants, absolutely no way to change their values. I frequently use them
in include files to set widths, etc., that are brought into all the pages
in a project.
Plus, they have global scope - great if you are in the habit of forgetting
global declarations in functions <g>.
And my guess is their is less overhead in using them, even in an
interpreted environment.
Thanks for the nice report - I'll know what to suggest to those who ask in the future.
I've heard of somewhat similar problems with aspell on other platforms, and yet have
to figure out how to work around them:(
One thing I noticed after I replied to you: after you compile pspell and aspell, you
*need* to go back to pspell and do:
cd modules
./add-modules
cd ..
make
make install
ldconfig -v
That's just the way it works. aspell is dependent on pspell, but pspell needs to know
that aspell exists to work with it. Kinda like a circular dependency

recent egcs instead. It looks however that I can't blame compiler only in your case.
If you can't get it resolved, could you please submit a bug report with the part of
the output where compile fails (not just *that* very line, but like 50 preceding lines
too - a larger chunk so I can see)
>>>
Hmmm. So, I try to recompile to reproduce the error, this time advancing
back to .12; I compile; no errors AND the module error goes away (thus,
it works great as it always had on RH6.2).
Weird.<BR>
These are the only two things I can think of.
My progression was this; get .12 (it failed to compile; (php+apache -
pspell/aspell compiled fine), read php-dev, saw there might be issues so I
reverted back to .11.2 (pspell). It compiled, but, with the aspell module
issue. Figured perhaps it was the most recent aspell (I had gotten
aspell-.33); so, I reverted that back to 32.6; recompiled still got aspell
module issues. Noted that RH7 have some glibc issues (and, it had caused
some other issues with aspell/pspell); updated both glibc and gcc from
redhat (rpm updates), recompiled, still had aspell module issues with PHP.
Finally, to replicate the compile error I went BACK to pspell .12,
recompiled, everything worked.
So, the two things I can think of is:
a) the newest aspell libraries are causing problems either in the compile
or in the aspell module loading
b) redhat's buggy glibc/gcc
the only odd thing was that I can't necessarily isolate either of these as
the cause. But, aspell 32.6+pspell .12+updated RH glibc 2.2-12 &
gcc-2.96-69 + apache 1.3.14 + php-4.0.4pl1 works on RH 7 now. My
inclination is that it's aspell, since, the same behavior existed with
both stock and updated glibc and gcc.

Subject: [PHP] MySQL Create Table Problem
This is driving me nuts. I really tried to figure it out
myself. I have a form for creating a table. The form
fields have field_name field_type field_length, and
checkboxes for not_null, auto_increment and primary.
When I check the primary key checkbox it always makes
the first field the primary key no matter what. And it
makes two date fields I enter NULL and the rest NOT
NULL no matter what I put in the checkboxes. The code
is below along with a printout of the SQL query. I only
wanted suffix and death date to be null. This is combination
from PHP Fast and Easy and MySQL by Dubois.
$sql = "CREATE TABLE $table_name (";
for ($i = 0; $i < count($field_name); $i++) {
$sql .= "$field_name[$i] $field_type[$i]";
if ($not_null[$i] == "Y") {
$additional = " NOT NULL";
} else {
$additional = " NULL";
}
if ($auto_increment[$i] == "Y") {
$additional .= " AUTO_INCREMENT";
} else {
$additional .= "";
}
if ($primary[$i] == "Y") {
$additional .= " primary key";
} else {
$additional .= "";
}
if ($field_length[$i] != "") {
$sql .= "($field_length[$i]) $additional,";
} else {
$sql .= " $additional,";
}
}
$sql = substr($sql, 0, -1);
$sql .= ")";

I found where the problem stems from after correcting a couple
items per your example but still don't know why it won't work.
It comes from using checkboxes in the form for PRIMARY KEY,
AUTO_INCREMENT and NOT NULL or NULL. When I use checkboxes
like this:
<td align=center>
<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"not_null[]\" value=\"Y\">
</td>
it totally messes up the query. But when I use
<td align=center>
<input type=\"text\" name=\"not_null[]\" size=1>
</td>
and either leave it blank or enter "Y" it works fine! This
is really driving me nuts and I'm afraid it's going to be
something stupid staring me in the face.

Is this following due to a bug in either Payflow Pro SDK or in PHP or my
messup? It just seems to odd that the warning is for pfpro_version and then
the configtest fails because of pfpro_version. Here are the errors and code
it is using:
----When making PHP----

Simon:
Thanks for the SHMEM heads-up. It's defiantly a step up in efficiency/speed
than calling the databases, however, I wonder about the overhead of loading
and unserializing on every page. Another issue is portability -- while the
servers here are MacOS X and Linux-based, future systems may be Windows
clunkers, where SHMEM isn't an option.
I'm going to have to send a message/feature request to the developer list as
well.. maybe they'll have more insight, or will be able to run with my
request/tell me why it's bad.

Subject: [GENERAL] libpq.so.2.1 needed by php-pgsql-4.0.1pl2-9
Hi,
I am running Redhat 7.0 with PHP 4.0.1pl2. I currently installed PostgreSQL 7.1beta,
but now when trying to enable Postgres access to PHP (package php-pgsql-4.0.1pl2-9) I
get the following error:
[root@atlas PostgreSQL]# rpm -ivh php-pgsql-4.0.1pl2-9.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libpq.so.2.1 is needed by php-pgsql-4.0.1pl2-9
What are my options?
1) Force installation with rpm "nodependency" option?
2) Create some symlink? Currently I have at /usr/lib the following files:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 1 11:17 libpq.so -> libpq.so.2.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 1 11:07 libpq.so.2 -> libpq.so.2.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 1 11:17 libpq.so.2.0 -> libpq.so.2.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70311 Jan 29 05:19 libpq.so.2.1
3) Some other tips?
Thank you in advance,
Paulo

It looks from the above that libpq.so.2.1 is in /usr/lib.
Try adding this line to /etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/lib
and the run "ldconfig".
Hope this helps,

Hi,
When I run the code:
<?php
mysql_connect ("LOCALHOST","webmaster2","hironsc0");
?>
I got error message:
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function mysql_connect() in
...
HELP!
Thanks in advance,

Try this... You need to set a variable for the connection. Also you might
be careful when sending examples of your code as you have given everyone on
this list your username/password to your database.
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect ("localhost", "webmaster2", "******");
if ($connection == false){
echo mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."<BR>";
exit;
}

English translation: You have not compiled MySQL support into PHP. You
will need to re-compile, or find a different RPM. If you compile it
yourself, be sure to add with-mysql to the ./configure command.
If this is on a Windows host, look in php.ini and uncomment the line
that loads the MySQL DLL.

I am building an account manager for my web hosting clients in which they
can edit thier information, etc only I do not want to display the entire

You could split the card number into groups of 4 digits and. in the form, make the
last one <input type="password" name="xxx" size="4">.
This would do what you need.

Hello all (first post for me!):
I've been running into problems when testing PHP scripts on Netscape (when
MSIE works fine).
First problem (SOLVED) was that Netscape does something funny with the
$PHP_SELF environmental variable, so I've learned to circumvent the problem
by just hard-coding the page name instead of relying on the $PHP_SELF trick.
Second problem (UNSOLVED, SO FAR) is that Netscape (...and I'm talking about
Communicator 4.75 for the Mac, at least) doesn't carry my session variables
over from page to page. Has anyone else ran into this problem and found a
solution?
Thanks!!!
P.S. Things seem to work fine in the new Netscape 6, but most Mac users
are still at 4.75.

ok your experiencing some very strange errors. I would love to comment on the PHP_SELF
thing, if you want me to I'll email you.
do you have php configured with --trans-sid? is the cookie PHPSESSID being set on the
client? is the SID being transfered on all non-full urls when cookies are not being
used.? a few comments some people may not realize.
sessions with cookies
------------------------
- will transfer across full urls
- will transfer acress full form urls
- will not set SID
- will not transfer across multiple domainnames
sessions without cookies
------------------------
- will set SID
- will transfer across multiple domainnames if the domain name is on the same server
and $SID is manualy appended to the url
- will transfer across full urls if $SID is appended to the url
- will transfer across full form urls if $SID is appended to the form url
use code like this and you can fix some of those issues.
<?php
function mtime()
{
$mtime = microtime();
$mtime = str_replace('.', '', $mtime);
$mtime = explode(' ', $mtime);
$mtime = $mtime[1] . $mtime[0];
return($mtime);
}
if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']) )
session_id($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']);
if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['PHPSESSID']) )
session_id($HTTP_POST_VARS['PHPSESSID']);
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['SessionID']))
{
$SessionID = mtime();
session_register('SessionID');
}
$PHPSESSID = session_id();
$SID = "PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID";
//----
echo "
<a href='http://$SERVER_NAME/$PHP_SELF?$SID'>here </a>
";
?>
I amcurious on how this works out

I have script that generates a pdf width some text and two images in it. One
of the images is just a header and works fine. The other is a photo, now,
this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I can't figure out why.
When the photo doesn't appear I eventually get a box saying something like
"An I/O processing error occured". Sorry, can't remember the exact message,
and as I write this message I can't seem to get it back. Also, when you
print one of the broken PDF's it locks up the browser (works fine on the
non-broken ones).
Here is the script I use to send the generated PDF to the browser:
<?
if(file_exists("/path/to/file/photo.gif")) {
$pic = pdf_open_image_file($pdf, "gif", "/path/to/file/photo.gif");
pdf_place_image($pdf, $pic, 38, 450, 1.5);
}
....
....
....
pdf_show_boxed($pdf, "$rcpt_name\n$address\n\nInvoice no:
$invoice_no\nDue Date: $rowdata[duewhen]\n\nNet Price: \$$netprice\nGST:
\$$gst\n\nTotal to pay: \$$total", 380, 10, 200, 150, "right");
pdf_end_page($pdf);
pdf_close($pdf);
fclose($fp);
header( "Content-type: application/x-pdf" );
header( "Content-Disposition: filename=$REMOTE_USER.$id.pdf" );
header( "Content-Description: PDF Format Invoice" );
header("Location: /invoicing/$REMOTE_USER.$id.pdf");
?>
Anyhelp would be muchly appreciated.

I just installed a Sybase_CT module in php 4.0 on a linux machine. I'm
trying to move a web site from a buggy and crashy NT box but I'm having
trouble with the mssql_result call.
This is what i get.
Warning: 2 is not a valid Sybase result resource in
/var/www/html/crap.php on line 54
Line 54 reads:
$ssn = mssql_result($result,$a,0);
I also get this error on all the mssql_result on the for loop.
I made it work changing it with mssql_fetch_* calls but I want to move a
big site to the linux bos and I would be a momumetla job rewriting the
whole code.
Can you please help?

Hi, All,

LiveDate = "Mar 12,2001"
how to convert it to a int?
mktime(0,0,0,?,?,?)
Because the LiveDate is changable, I could't put a 3,12,2001 in the mktime.
Thanks a lot.

Well if you have a consistent format (like Month Day, FullYear) then you could
do this:
function get_unix_stamp($date)
{
$months = array('Jan' => 1,'Feb' => 2,
'Mar' => 3,'Apr' => 4,
'May' => 5,'Jun' => 6,
'Jul' => 7,'Aug' => 8,
'Sep' => 9,'Oct' => 10,
'Nov' => 11,'Dec' => 11);
$foo = explode(' ',$date);
$month = $months[$foo[0]];
$day = str_replace(',',$foo[1]);
$year = $foo[2];
return mktime(0,0,0,$month,$day,$year);
}

$months = array( "Jan" => 1,
"Feb" => 2,
...........
"Dec" => 12
);
$month = substr($LiveDate, 3);
$month_num = $months( $month );
$comma = strpos($LiveDate, ",");
$day = substr($LiveDate, 2, $comma - 2);
$year = substr($LiveDate, 4, $comma);
Something like this should work - I'm not too sure about the values for
substr, but it should give you an idea.

You need to escape the quote characters by prefixing them with a backslash.
<?php
$title = "<title>blah \"blah\" blah</title>";

Okay, a heredoc may be better then:
<?php
$title = <<<END
<title>blah "blah" blah</title>
END;
echo $title;
?>
The syntax in your original e-mail was not quite right - heredocs should
work fine with quotes.

A couple resources to help :
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/using-strings.php
Each describes the ability to do :
$var = '<title>blah "blah" blah</title>';
$var = "<title>blah 'blah' blah</title>";
$var = "<title>blah \"blah\" blah</title>";
And using here doc, <<< , like so :
$var = <<<EOD
Example of "string"
spanning multiple 'lines'
using heredoc syntax.

hey,
given a directory structure like
$DOCUMENT_ROOT/2001/03/02 (where 02 is a file in dir 03/
which obviously represents a date, i would like to implement a page
such as latest.php, which will go to $DOCUMENT_ROOT, list all the
directories, sort them numerically, choose the largest, chdir, repeat,
chdir, and obtain the name of the file that is associated with the
"highest" number.
this is related to an announcement page, where a central page
display.php handles the date directory tree. sometimes, there are
releases on consecutive days, but it may happen that an announcement
is a couple of days back, in which case i want latest.php to find it
automatically and dynamically.
any hints?

Hi
I have an account on a hosting service provider.
They have a server with a lot of clients... and there, each client has his own
Apache binary compiled with PHP 4.
They also offer MySQL... but they only have ONE server for all their customers,
and so, they just offer one db to each one.
I need to have a lot of different db, so I compiled my own MySQL on the server
The General MySQL runs at port 3310
I compiled my own MySQL to run at port 3311
I tried it with php, conecting to localhost:3311 and it works fine (with
phpMyAdmin)...
Now, the question is:
Should I do something special with my Apache/php?
I generally compile my PHP with the --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql
But now I am using normally the preinstalled PHP on the server without
any problem...
Should I recompile my php and tell to the ./configure script the path where my
own MySQL is? or it isn't necesary?
Thanks!

If you have a small number of locations <100 or so, and you only want to
show one at a time, I'd seriously consider just making 100 maps with
markers on them, and sending the right one when needed. This will be
much faster to serve as there is no graphic processing involved.
If you want to be able to have multiple random selections where more
than one location is shown on a map, you are stuck generating them on
the fiy. I would start with a stock map and use GD to draw a marker
over the top of it for each location you want to hilite. In each of
your database records you would record the x and y coordinates of the
point on the map where the building is located.
If you want to build maps with various center points and scales, and be
able to plot buildings on it, you will want to store the lat and lon of
the building, and store everything else using lat/lon. If you are going
to do this, look for someone very good with geometry to design the math.
It can get tricky trying to show a section of a sphere on a flat
screen.

Hi,
I'm sorry for this OT question, but I need to configure
apache to emit 503 accross the whole server _except_ in
two directories. I thought I'd use
RedirectMatch 503 ^/(?!docs|error)
but Apache fails to start with "Regular expression could
not be compiled." It doesn't grok the assertion. How can
I achieve this behavior?
please, cc me, I'm not on the list
TIA
