If it's SQL version 7 then you can use this same port for a "direct"
connection. I know, my companies public web site connects via this
port to an SQL server behind our firewall, and has done so for well
over a year without issue.

Not with version 7.

iODBC and FreeDTS work GREAT!!!
I've gone through the hassle of installing it on a Mandrake Machine, and
it wasn't a huge pain in the keyster. On Mandrake 9.0, the drivers and
RPMS were outdated, and they were flakey.
However, apt-get install unixodbc in Debian unstable works like a charm,
if you are willing to give up ODBCConfig and DataManger(I or II).

I've never had the need to do this, so I cannot verify that this
works, but I believe you can supply a port number in the servername
argument:
mssql_connect('192.168.0.1:1433', 'someuser', 'somepass');
You can also define this in the FreeTDS "interfaces" file, I believe,
but again I'm not sure as I use the default port.
>can u give me some hints regarding the FreeTDS
Read this article, it helped me out immensely when I set it all up:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/alberto20000919.php3
>if i used it then i have to confugure the DSN in liunx am i wrong?
Not sure what you mean here. If you're referring to a Windows "Data
Source Name" then that is not really relevant on a Linux platform. If
you have access to port 1433 on the SQL server all you need to do is
to download and install FreeTDS (follow the article above for help,
and when all else fails read the FreeTDS documentation), then rebuild
PHP with the "--with-sybase" option. After you have done that you can
simply supply an IP address or hostname to the mssql_connect() call.
Give it a shot and if you run into problems I'd be glad to try an
answer any specific questions you may have.

You're close but instead of <? mAuthor() ?> try
<?php print mAuthor(); ?>
That will print the return value of your function - which by example is
"Daniel Szasz".

<?php

Then use:
META NAME="Author" CONTENT="<? mAuthor(); ?>">
Notice I replaced
$Author = "Daniel Szasz";
with
$Author = 'Daniel Szasz';
This tells php to just assign the value to the variable and not to bother
performing any interpretation on it. This speeds up your script
intepretation. You also forgot the ';' in the html/php statement for the
Meta Name.

I'm not entirely clear what you mean by not being able to display images
from their folder, can you explain that more. HTML doesn't allow for
embeded images.

Ok, assuming that the image files are outside the public web tree and
you can read them with a script. You will have to write a php script
that will read the file (sending the appropriate headers).
So your script will generate html like
<img src="/showimage.php?file=filename.jpg">
then showimage.php will do something:
header('content-type: appropricate/type');
// content-length would be good
readfile($file);

My addition to this advice would be to make sure you do some sort of
validation of $_GET['file'] before you use it within the readfile()
function or you have a security problem. For example people could send a
request for /showimage.php?file=yourscript.php and they would be
presented with the source code to your PHP script.

Yes, the method below would work just fine if you only needed to display
one image. Trying it on a second image within the same generated page
would give you a "headers already sent" error.

Hello,
Does anyone have any good examples of simple imap functions? Basically I
am just looking to return the number of new messages for a few folders in
my account. I would like to modify it later to show the headers (from,
subject) but just a new message count is sufficient.
I would like to have this in a page that refreshes every 20-30 seconds or
so, will there be any problems with this?
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

You could compile PHP with the IMAP functions and use them:

I am writing a php script to accept an HTTPS POST of data from a remote
site, process the data, and send an HTTPS POST response back (not
necessarily to the same remote site). I can do this pretty easily in
PERL (which I may have to if I can't find a PHP solution). Also I need
to do the https post without any kind of client or user interaction. I
have checked through php.net and phpbuilder.com but have only come up
with things for HTTP POST (no SSL Encryption). Anyone run across
something like this, or can point me in a direction to look?

Can you perhaps rephrase what you are trying to do? The way I interpret what
you are asking may be much simpler than what you really mean to do.
To "accept" an HTTPS POST only requires that your Web server is SSL-enabled.
There is nothing special you must do. For example, a PHP script can print out
all posted data like this:
print_r($_POST);
This simple example also replies to the remote site (over SSL) that sent the
HTTPS request, since that's where standard out goes. Basically, since SSL lies
between TCP and HTTP, by the time your PHP script gets the data, there is
really no difference. The difference is in the Web server, not the code (unless
you want to check whether the current connection is SSL).
As for sending a POST request to a remote site via SSL, just check out cURL,
which also has a convenient PEAR package.

In that case, you should find this helpful:
http://www.php.net/curl
If you like PEAR, this might be handy:
http://pear.php.net/Net_Curl
cURL does support SSL, so it should provide what you need.

I have the following exec command in php:
exec("/bin/sed -f $GLOBALS[TMP_MAIL_DIR]"."cmdfile
$GLOBALS[TMP_MAIL_DIR]"."$mailid >
$GLOBALS[TMP_MAIL_DIR]"."$mailid"."tmp",$results);
Which does a search and replace using the sed command file:
s/'/'/g
s/"/"/g
Now, executed command line, this works beautifully, the input file is parsed
and the results go to the output file - BUT when run via php, the output
file is blank, empty, no data at all.
Permissions are not the problem, I went so far as to 777 the directory and
file, still the same results.
Running PHP 4.1.2 on Linux Redhat something or another.
I am sure that it is something simple, but it is driving me crazy!
Oh, and yes, globals are on here - if I print out the exec line with the
dynamically generated paths, etc, then execute that through the terminal, no
problem.
If anyone has run into this with exec commands before or can suggest a
different way to run this command, I would love to hear it!

Put this line of code in your script:
echo "/bin/sed -f $GLOBALS[TMP_MAIL_DIR]"."cmdfile
$GLOBALS[TMP_MAIL_DIR]"."$mailid >
$GLOBALS[TMP_MAIL_DIR]"."$mailid"."tmp";
and check that it contains what you expect it to.
All the best,

Sorry, I jumped over that in your original mail! I amy as well try and be
of help again then...
Does the user on the system that your webserver runs as have permission to
execute the program you are trying to execute?
Do you expect the program to have any output, if so is it appearing in
your $results array? is anything being put in the $results array?
Also, you could try using the third optional paramater for the exec
function to retrieve the return status of the command you are executing.

David:
Permissions were the first guess - I chmoded 777 everything - still no go.
On the server, there should be a second file created identical to the first
with the results of the sed find and replace in it - the only thing that is
created is a blank file.
So, it is not permissions, nothing is returned in the results array, and the
exact same query run on the server command line works properly - the only
difference between it executing through php and command line is, as far as I
can tell, the user being apache for the php exec and a different user
command line, but with mode 777 on the files and directories (ya ya, I know
that is not secure but it is just for testing purposes ;)) the user should
not make a difference.....

Hi again.
I am having a problem with session variables spanning over different
windows.
What I am doing is to supply links in an admin interface that open satellite
windows, opened via JS. The window scripts check for a variable to be
present ($_SESSION[]). I am doing this so that the scripts cannot be called without
being successfully logged in.
The problem is this:
Opening the first window is fine, but when closed (with window.close()) and
tried to reopen, the $_SESSION variable test works out to be false. Why?
I am passing the session number through to the windows (as a variable called
$sesi). I checked the session folder, and it seems that the session is not
destroyed. All scripts call session_start(). What is happening? I know that
the manual says that we have to send the session number to the next pages.
Does it have anything to do with JS (I doubt).
Help is appreciated.
Below you find the calling snipps:
[snip]
#
## Check for valid session variable
#
session_start();
require("../../scripts/generic/major.class.php");
$gsql = new sql;
if ($_SESSION['uid'])
{
…
#
## open the window with js
#
… onclick="openwin('update','<?php echo $tid;?>','<?echo
session_id();?>','<?php echo $uid;?>','430','480','cwin','no','no')" />
function openwin(type,id,sess,uid,h,w,win,loc,scrl){
window.open("xtemp/"+type+".php?sesi="+sess+"&id="+id+"&uid="+uid+"",win,"height="+h+",width="+w+",left=0,top=0,alwaysRaised=yes,directories=no,dependent=yes,location="+loc+",status=no,titlebar=no,resizable=no,menubar=no,scrollbars="+scrl+"");

HI:
I installed Apache Web Server on my laptop which has Windows XP. I then
installed PHP. I followed the directions in the book I had on installing apache and
php and what to add to the apache configuration file.
Here is what is happening: After installing everything, I tested my Apache web
server installation first and saw the apache web server page like the book said. Then
it said to do a little php program - which had phpinfo() in it. But when I retyped
the url I got a message that asked me did I want to download a file, which was the php
program file.
The PHP is 4.3.2 and the apache web server is 2.0. What am I doing wrong?
Should I use apache 1.3.2?
Please help. I understand everything, just don't know why it is prompting me
to download a file.
Thanks.

No value is assigned in the code you listed. What is before this block?
If $addDivName isn't given a value then nothing is posted. Are you trying to
have the text field populate this info? If so, you are getting your program
flow wrong.

did you put a <form name="" method="POST/GET"> before in your script ?
What I see in your script is : addDivName is a text input field, without

so, if you click on you link, is $addDivName wasn't set before, the content
is... empty! :)
I can't help you more with your tiny sample :(

The 'a href' wont pass the variable addDivName that the user has just
entered in the textbox above. You'll want to change that href to
something like:
<input type="image" src="btn_additem.gif">
Be sure that you have set up the form earlier in the file.

Hi I was wondering if anybody has any Ideas about or has experienced
this....
I create a new object and then assign it to a session var
$customer = new Customer($_GET['facilityID'], $_GET['customerID']);
$_SESSION['acceptPayment']['customer'] = $customer;
but later when I access that session var [in the the same file but in a different function and different instance], php gives me
an error saying:
"The script tried to execute a methode or access a property of an incomplete object. Pleas ensure that the class definition
lt;bgt;customerlt;/bgt; of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started
at <filepath>/acceptPayment.php line 103"
I did a little reading (rtfm) on php.net and saw that if session.auto_start is turned on, you couldn't use Objects with
sessions. Well I checked my ini and the session.auto_start was set to 0, so I am now scratching my head in confusion.
I require_once the Customer class and start the session after the requires and
includes, so then I thought ok require_once
so I change it to require and then it doesn't load the class the for some reason
(sigh).
Thanks for your help in advance

It turns out when I was assigning the object to the session var, the object was not
getting
serialized. Serializing takes a variable and makes it into a string describing the
variable and
the value. This could be done for any variable type except Resources (MySQL
connection vars) and
Results (the result from a query).
Serialization happens automatically through the session_register() function, but you
can only
use session_register if the the register_globals is turned on in the ini. I would
like to move away
from the the practice of using globals and eventually turn off the register_globals.
For some reason I tried to register my $customer object using the
session_register("customer") and
that seem to fail (not the actual registering, but the reuse of the object) so now
this is a solution that I
saw in the php documentation:
$customer = new Customer($_GET['facilityID'], $_GET['customerID']);
$_SESSION['acceptPayment']['serializedCustomer'] = serialize($customer);
so now when I have moved on to another page or another instance of the same page and
I want to access the object from the session var, I do so like this:
$customer = unserialize($_SESSION['acceptPayment']['serializedCustomer']);
and now you can access the object. There is a hidden jewl about this method, I now no
longer
have to include or require the class file because it is already defined in the
serialized string.

Really, you don't need the serialize/unserialize in there, as they are
handled automagically. $_SESSION['customer'] = $customer; and
$customer = $_SESSION['customer'] should work just fine. I'm doing this
with 4.3.2, and a casual glance at my sess_* files in /tmp shows that the
objects are stored in serialized form and the __sleep() method is called
the usual way.
My understanding is that classes must be defined prior to unserializing an
object if you dan't want to risk having the object becoming disassociated
from its class, but your method above does have the advantage that you
decide when that serialization takes places and can load the classes
there, rather than having to do so prior to session_start().

Hi everybody, I've trying to store a into a MSSQL Server (7 or 2k) using
an example I found on the web (www.php.net).
Is it possible that PHP (4.3.2) just store 4k of data? Because after
inserting a test image with:
$oDatos is an object that handles queries.
// storing a file
$datastring = join('',file("logo2.jpg"));
$data = unpack("H*hex", $datastring);
$oDatos->query( "insert into temp_test (test) values ( 0x" . $data['hex']
.")" );
A select will return a 4K file. Is it possible?
$row = $oDatos->getData("select test from temp_test");
//file://$row = mssql_fetch_assoc($result);
$fp = fopen('copy.jpg','w');
So... is there anyway to store a file that it is larger than 4K? Or am I
missing something? :)
Thanks.

Hi,
I've made a PHP script that sends out an automatic email through my servers
cron system, it works well, but I thought I'd try to do some HTML email to
get things to line up a little better.
To do so, I added the following line in my mail() command: -Type:
text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
When I check the messages sent out with Eudora, the HTML email comes in
perfectly. However, when I check with Outlook Express 6 - I get the actual
HTML code rather than the nicely formatted email that I had created.
Should I be using another line in my mail() command? I've recieved HTML
email before with Outlook Express on my machine without changing any
settings at all. Also, I had sent an email from my script to hotmail and
the HTML email worked fine there too.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I would take a look at the headers of an email that does render html
correctly in outlook and see what you are missing.

there are different ways to send html in an email and also very wrong
ways to send html in an email; very debatable topic from what I've seen.
I think your best bet is to use something like:
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/
You can send both plain/text and html. Remember not all email clients
support email. And a lot of people dont like it at all.
Of course if this is only for you to see I guess you can ignore all that

By the context, I'm sure it should read "...not all email clients
support HTML."

That looks like one of the bugs of the mail() function that never got
fixed. In that case you may want to try this class that has built-in
workarounds for some of the mail() function bugs.

Thanks to all those who responded, as always, spelling is key. Where I had
-Type: text/html ... it should have read Content-Type : text/html ...
So it works for now, and hopefully will continue to. I know that there are
a number of email programs out there that do not support HTML mail, as well
I know there are a great many of individuals who do not enjoy it
either. We're just running a trial base here to see what works, if it
turns out that the majority of our customers do not enjoy it, then we'll
switch to plain text (actually built the plain-text one first, this is just
an add-on)

Hey,
I'm looking for a function to take an XML file and turn it into a PHP
array with the same structure. So if I have:
<template>
<color>#000000</color>
<background>image.jpg</background>
</template>
It would give me an array:
Array (
[template] => Array (
[color] => #000000
[background] => image.jpg
)
)
Anyone know of anything like that?

It's not one function, but you could use xml_parse() with
appropriately-defined handlers for character data and open/close elements:
http://php.net/xml
There is also http://php.net/xml_parse_into_struct, which doesn't generate
exactly what you want, but it "generates structures amenable of being
transversed in a tree fashion."

Actually i want to create a server utility that can be administered through
web via a certain port, i'm afraid not to use php as an apache module
because the server might have an existing webserver installed, so i came out
into an idea to use php cgi/cli to run in a specified port and view it in
the web. It is somewhat similar to some existing utilities such as WEBMIN
which use perl cgi, but i really dont have a very good start since i dont
have enough examples for this. I've already opened opened port for this as
what David said but i cant see the output in the web.
He'res what i've did in my Redhat linux 6.x
inetd.conf:
samples stream tcp nowait.1000 root.root
/usr/local/mikecarel/samples samples
services:
samples 6886/tcp
samples:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php
echo "Content-Type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1";
echo "\n";
echo "<html>hello </html>";
?>
Am I in a right track? or is it possible with this? Do i missed something
here?
Thanks in advance.

This is pretty easy to do, but I should warn that PHP's socket support is still
labeled as experimental, though I have found it to be very stable, and I know
of no plans to change the API.
Quite a while ago now, I wrote a simple HTTP proxy in PHP that listens on port
4887 by default. It is a single script, so it is pretty easy to follow, and
you're welcome to check it out at http://protoscope.org/. It is probably a
better example than I could come up with here.
Hope that helps.

I am not very familiar with *nix administration at all so if anyone wants
to jump in and correct anything I have said wrong feel free.
Maybe try and have the command inetd is set to execute as
/usr/local/bin/php -q /usr/local/mikecarel/samples
instead of using a shebang line and having your PHP file executable and
see if that works?
David.

I have a string of digits that looks like something like these: 0025,
1234, 0001, 1003, and so on. They are all 4 digits in length. Then
when I increment one of them by 1, I want to still have 4 digits for the
value (it should insert the leading zeros if needed). Is there any type
of function that will force the incremented value to be exactly 4 digits
no matter what number it increments? Please let me know if there is a
function that will insert these leading zeros or truncate it to 4 digits
if necessary. Thanks.

Just be sure to pass the optional $dbh1 or $dbh2 to the appropriate
query.
$result1 = server_query($sql_fordb1, $dbh1);
$result2 = server_query($sql_fordb2, $dbh2);
