Tested on winXP/Apache 2.0.48 (cgi)
php 4.3.3
var_dump( __FILE__ );
gives -> C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\index.php
php 4.3.4
var_dump( __FILE__);
gives -> c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\index.php
php 4.3.5RC2
var_dump( __FILE__ );
gives -> C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\index.php
The contents of __FILE__ in php 4.3.4 is lower cased, but seems to be working
correctly in 4.3.5RC2, hence the reason why I didn't submit a bug report.
So if anyone asks, its in the archives, and I hope the powers to be
makes sure that 4.3.5 interpretation of __FILE__ stays the way it is...

hello,
talking about php5, i'm missing "read-only" attributes/variables for
classes/objects. i.e. this would be very useful for implementing the new
DOM Level 3 Interfaces as given in http://www.w3.org/TR/2003
CR-DOM-Level-3-Core-20031107/idl-definitions.html .
And I don't think of any reason for Zend-Developers not to implement a
little keyword "readonly"... particularly they're using it in there C-Code
as you can see by testing the following script:
<?php
$doc = new DomDocument();
$root = new DomElement("root");
$root->tagName = "test"; // this, of course, doesn't work...
print($root->tagName);
$root = $doc->appendChild($root);
?>
The output is a fatal error:
Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Cannot write property in ... on line 5
But i don't think they'll make any changes on it at this (beta) state?
If anybody has an acceptable fake-solution, please let me know...
thanks

I don't think there's a good reason not to have read-only members.
Java and C++ don't either, but Eiffel does. You fake it by declaring
them private and writing a get_foo() method for each one. Done this
way it it is tedious and ugly, but by overloading member access with
the __get( $name ) method, you can achieve the same functionality with
fewer lines of code and a cleaner interface to client classes. See
under overloading in http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php for
examples.

Hi there,
there is following scenario:
- One php file saved with .pdf extension
- .htaccess tells php to parse this file
- ?ID=x provides the database id for individual files
That whole thing workes perfectly as long as you access it via browser
and URL.
Now I need to save those files, or send them as an email attachement.
I am using a phpmailer class. When I try to access the file with the ?
and parameters email transaction failes.
$mail->AddAttachment('/invoice-sample.pdf?id='.$sl[ID], "invoice.pdf");
Has anybody an idea how to solve this or where the problem lives?
Thank you for any suggestion on that,
Merlin

That is telling php to get the file '/invoice-sample.pdf?id=XXX...' through
the local filesystem, ie not through HTTP, and as such it will not be
parsed/interpreted by php.
> Has anybody an idea how to solve this or where the problem lives?
You need to open the file through HTTP, whether you can do that depends on
your version of PHP and the platform it's running on.
If the phpmailer class can handle the opening of files via HTTP then it should
be a simple:
$mail->AddAttachment('http://www.yourwebserver.com/invoice-sample.pdf?id='.$sl[ID],
"invoice.pdf");
Otherwise you need to manually read in the file then feed it into
$mail->AddAttachment (somehow)
So something like:
fopen('http://www.yourwebserver.com/invoice-sample.pdf?id='.$sl[ID], 'r');
along with your favourite file reading function.

I'm guessing that they're tailoring PHP to their (Novell's) needs, and bundle them as
part of their solution.
Their customers probably won't even realize that PHP is in their server, just as
Apache already do. They'll just see even better packaged product from Novell.

Probably PHP for Netware will adapt to their version of LDAP, but I guess then the PHP
team/anyone could always use that code for our own use.

thanks, but i think constants are not the same as readonly variables!!
a constant - as the name sais - are values that should never be changed. but
in my example
<?php
$doc = new DomDocument();
$root = new DomElement("root");
$root->tagName = "test"; // this, of course, doesn't work...
print($root->tagName);
$root = $doc->appendChild($root);
?>
the constructor (/another class-) function of DomElement has to set the
object variable $root->tagName to "root", of course. this is why tagName
isn't defined as constant...
further you CAN read $root->tagName, but not set it - so it is a real
READONLY variable, define in C-Code of Zend Engine...
anyway, thanks a lot...

It's possible.
The easiest way to do this is:
# On the webserver, you just need Apache, with a redirection setup.
So if a user entered http://webserver/genome-processing/ then it'll be redirected to
http://application-server/genome-processing/
Example (put these in httpd.conf):
================
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
ProxyPass /genome-processing/ http://application-server/genome-processing/
ProxyPassReverse /genome-processing/ http://application-server/genome-processing/
</IfModule>
================
# On the application server, you'll need Apache+PHP and that C program.
genome-processing/index.php in this box should process all user input, and then
execute the C program with system() function:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php
# Ensure that the output from the C program can be easily parsed in PHP, or better
yet, already HTML-tagged properly so you don't need to process it any further in your
PHP script - just printf() the whole of its output straightaway.
There are other ways to do this, but as I said I think this is the easiest way.
CMIIW of course.

Hi all
I have the following problem:
I want to allow users to update a number of records either one by one, or all
together. Currently I have put each record in a separate form on a page and each form
can be updated separately, but I don't know how to allow simultaneous update of all
forms (without reverting to JavaScript). Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rouza
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
make it one form and name the form elements using [], they will become
arrays. example:
<form >
<input type="text" name="name[1]" value=".....">
<input type="text" name="surname[1]" value=".....">
<input type="text" name="name[2]" value=".....">
<input type="text" name="surname[2]" value=".....">
the numbers (1 and 2) are ids of the records. then you loop the array
and update the rows:
foreach($_POST['name'] as $id => $null) {
update table set name='{$_POST['name'][$id]}',
surname='{$_POST['surname'][$id]}' where id='$id'
}

This is the traditional method:
// Open input file
$fh = fopen('some_file', 'rb');
// Read header
$header_data = fread($fh, 224);
// Open header output file
$ofh = fopen('some_other_file', 'wb');
// Write header
fwrite($ofh, $header_data);
// Get rest of file
do {
$data = fread($fh, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) {
break;
}
$contents .= $data;
} while (true);
fclose($fh);
If you know you want the entire file, you can always use
file_get_contents. It may behoove you to check the file size first
before reading it entirely into memory:
if (filesize('some_file') <= 1048576) {
$data = file_get_contents('some_file');
$header_data = substr($data, 0, 224);
$data = substr($data, 223);
}

Hi,
PHP 5 stable is not on the horizon yet. Someone have any idea how to
emulate (or to be more precise, simulate), this feature in PHP 4 (I
could do it if PHP4 would support macros and "goto", but there are no
such).
Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

I assume you would just register the COM object on the server and call

I'm using php 4.3.4 as a loadable module for Apache2
on a Redhat box.
It works for the most part except that for about every
5th page that is

process and the
page but it hangs for like 5 minutes. Is this a known

anyone know how to fix this?

Well first off you really should be posting to the Apache newsgroup,
this is for PHP coding questions etc.
However, if you have poorly written code it could cause Apache to hang.
I would ask yourself a few questions, does it only happen on one
particular website apache is running or on every site that apache is
serving up pages for? What kind of code are you running? PHP, Perl etc.
Have you looked in the Apache error logs yet? Usually in
/path/to/apache/logs/error_log & access_log. If you look at the
requests in the error_log it will probably give you a good indication of
why it keeps hanging.

Paul,
the warning that John refers to does occur - whether you see it
depends on the error reporting level, PHP will create the array for you
if you have not already initialized it but a warning will be generated
in such cases. - errors that may not display on one machine might be
visible on another due to differences in the error reporting level.
error reporting level is set in the php.ini file (it can also be set in
your script see http://nl2.php.net/ini_set), you probably have a line in
your php.ini that looks like:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_WARNING & ~E_NOTICE
which means: log all errors except warning level and notice level errors
I recommend you try to set the error reporting level to:
error_reporting = E_ALL
in this way all errors are logged (and possibly displayed) - if you can
write bug/error free code with error reporting set to E_ALL then you
will have made a good start towards more professional/better coding
practices.
there is another php.ini line:
display_errors = On
this line determines if errors are output to the browser window. for web
development this should be definitely on. (productions server often have
it Off for speed and 'niceness' reasons - i.e. not many users are
interested in seeing PHP errors, for whatever reason!)
---
as a rule of thumb it is better to initialize variable before you use them.
e.g. $pictures = array();
otherwise, in your case, if no files are present in the directory (or
none have a 'jpg' extension) referencing the $pictures array the while
loop will cause another error.
---
Side Note:
for beginners often RTFM only leads to more confusion because the
contents of many technical manuals often assume that the reader has
knowledge which a beginner does not yet have. I don't feel that this is
very much the case of the PHP manual - my feeling is that is very
accessible. I recommend taking the time to read all of it - the parts
you don't yet understand often become clear with continued reading. The
time invested in reading the manual is quickly regained!

It seems to be working fine this way without defining it as an array but
I guess other languages would not accept that approach.
while ($file = readdir($dh)){
if (strstr ($file, '.jpg')){
$pictures[] = $file;

Thanks for the advice. I do think the manual is pretty good and I'll
spend more time with it. But... I do have error reporting set to all. I
think they may have changed the behavior on newer versions of PHP. I
have indeed experienced the non-existant array eerror you describe. Lots
of debugging to do!

Right... But the principal is still the same. Excel handles those types

This is different. You are talking about inputing data in excell
application, but Jay is building csv file.

Right... But the principal is still the same. Excel handles those types
of fields in a uniform way, regardless of whether you do the entry
yourself or if you just import a csv file.

Actually that is not correct. We have prefaced the data with the single
quote in the output process and that single quote is visible in each
cell where that occurs.

It may wind up being a user-learning issue.
I dump things to pipe delimited file (whether in *nix land or winDoze)
and that way the users can open it in Excel. The ones who have to open
the files I just go to their desks the first time and show them how to
open the file, delimit it on the | and then on the "Next" screen change
the ####### field to TEXT to keep it formatted correctly. A pain in the
betuty the first time, but once they are shown they understand it. If
they have to do work with the file they then save it local to their
machine and start hacking it in the way they want.
Only way I found to work around quotes and things, but I'm always
willing to learn new tricks. :)

What is the way to generate XML from MySql database using PHP?
Is DOMXML the only way? I dont have it installed on my server, can i still
get XML output?
I know the workaround like i query the database and echo a XML, but i am
looking for alternatives.
Thanks

echo, printf, etc. XML is nothing more (or less) than text, so I wouldn't
call that a "workaround". DOMXML seems like complete overkill to me,
for a situation where you only need to generate XML for export.

Do it this way. It's easy and less memory consuming.

Hi everyone. Since my last post of outputing to excel, I have converted my output to
XML, quite happy with myself. It looks perfect. Perfect on my set that is. I have win
xp with office xp. Excel with office xp recognizes XML. Office 2000, which the rest of
my company is using, doesn't. Does anyone know of a way I can take the XML I have now
and have office 2000 recognize it? I feel kinda stupid... lol Sent out an email to my
accounting department saying it was ready for them and all they get is garbage on
their screen.
Anyone know of anything I can do?
Thanks,
Jake

According to the PHP manual, the mnoGoSearch extension is not available
on the Windows platform. I had considered installing mnoGoSearch on our
Windows box running PHP (even though I will have to pay for the Windows
version of mnoGoSearch). However, now that I've seen this in the
manual, I want to know what my other search engine options may be (for
preferably free, open-source software).
The search engine must index the site like a regular spider, and it
should include have the ability to include PDF docs, Word docs, etc. and
be configurable enough to exclude certain folders, etc. I would also
like the ability to access the engine through PHP, if possible.
Any suggestions or favorites out there? I would prefer not to write one
on my own.
Thanks.

The best place to get documentation about PHP is the PHP website at
http://www.php.net
For InterBase functions, you should check out this page:

Hi all,
I have to replicate the file encryption of a desktop bound
application. This means using triple DES, but I can't find
anything on the web or in the maunual (other than single
DES).
Does anyone know if it is doable to implement this using php,
or if I should just tell the client that it can't be done?
TIA,
Craig
